Kim Kardashian Goes Nude, Gets Candid About Sex


Kim Kardashian is at it again.


In more ways than one.


In a cover shoot and interview with something called Richardson Magazine, the reality star takes off her clothins (again), talks about her weight loss (again) and delves into her sex tape with Ray J (again).


Why did Kim think she was done having intercourse?


How does she throw shade at former close friend Paris Hilton?


Scroll down for the answers to these questions and many others…




1. This is the Cover


Kim kardashian for richardson

For the record: Kardashian stripped way down for the publication’s 20th anniversary issue, dubbed A9, via a photoshoot from photographer Steven Klein. This wasn’t Klein’s first time shooting Kim, either, as he also snapped her for Love and Interview in the past.



2. Kim Was Asked About Paris Hilton’s Reaction to Her Famous Sex Tape:


Kim was asked about paris hiltons reaction to her famous sex tap

“I thought that for Paris it was explosive and a super lot of attention for her too, in a positive way. But once you go through it and you have those conversations with your parents and grandparents and everyone that you’d be really embarrassed about it with, I think you get to a point where you’re like, ‘Okay, we’re dealing with this legally, and it’s time to move on.”



3. And Then She Hurled Some Shade at Paris:


And then she hurled some shade at paris

“Everyone deals with things differently, and I seem to deal with things – whether the sex tape, the robbery, even the death of my dad, who was the most important person in my life – I push to just overcome it.”



4. I WILL WIN!


Kim kardashian on keeping

“I just don’t have a victim mentality,” Kim explains in this interview. “That’s never been my personality. I’ve always been like, the victor, I can get past this, and this will not define me.”



5. Welp, This Was Awkward…

Kim said President Trump actually called her WHILE SHE WAS NAKED for this cover shoot. He wanted to talk about Alice Johnson, but Kim had to get dressed first.



6. It’s a Tough Life…


Kim kardashian has a tense discussion

“I’m doing a nude shoot and my phone rings, and it’s the President of the United States,” she says here. “And I’m like, ‘Okay, hold on, does somebody have a robe?’ I think he’s about to give me some really exciting information about Alice Johnson. So then having to have that conversation, and then having to call her … I think Steven Klein literally wanted to kill me because I was just so focused on my phone and it was a two-day shoot.”

Tyler Baltierra Pens Candid, Heartfelt, Awe-Inspiring Tribute to Catelynn Lowell

Tyler Baltierra recently shared the story of his epic weight loss.


And it’s very impressive, don’t get us wrong.


But the Teen Mom OG veteran has impressed us even more with a tribute to wife Catelynn that makes it clear: He never, ever, ever wants to lose her.



With rumors of a divorce constantly swirling around Tyler and Catelynn, the former took to Instagram this week and poured his svelte heart out for all to see and swoon over.


“Life is really simple if you think about it,” wrote Tyler to kick off a lengthy caption, which he attached to the photo above, prior to adding in far more detail:


“If you love something … fight for it. Sacrifice for it. Love it so much that it makes you want to love yourself in a way you never knew you were even capable of loving.


Continued Baltierra, who fans were convinced as recently last month was going to leave Catelynn:


“It’s been 13 years together & that’s not because of luck or us not arguing or not getting upset with one another …


“That’s because everyday, we choose to love each other unconditionally, with all the flaws & all the baggage our past lives has given us.”



We love that perspective.


As they said, it’s not about finding someone who is perfect, right? It’s about finding someone who is perfect for YOU.


For his part, Tyler has always been very open about his struggles with mental health, specifically his bipolar order diagnosis.


Anyway. He wasn’t done here gushing over his wife.


“We choose to listen to one another & be heard by one another,” the MTV personality wrote, adding:


“We choose to confront our issues head on & fix them together. We choose to nurture our spiritual bond together & share lives ups and downs with one another.


“We are lovers in this life, so we can be soulmates in our afterlife.”


Wow. That’s some profound stuff right there, Ty.



Baltierra and Lowell got married in August of 2015.


They are the parents to two kids, one of whom they gave up for adoption back when they were stars on 16 & Pregnant.


Overall, the couple’s ups and downs have been documented at length on Teen Mom OG over the years, most notably Lowell’s miscarriage last year that led her to enter a treatment facility due to sucidal thoughts.


“You Are Beautiful. You Are Worthy,” Tyler wrote to Catelynn in this mini online essay.


“You Are Strong. You Are Safe … & I love you more than this realm will allow me to express in all my desired ways.”



Despite all the negative chatter surrounding her and her husband, Catelynn has always insisted than their relationship was stable.


“Tyler and I are not getting a divorce. Couples go through ups and downs. That’s normal life,” Lowell told Us Weekly in May, concluding at the time:


“We are a solid couple that will work through anything life throws at us.”


As of this writing, Tyler’s tribute to Catelynn has been Liked over 186,000 times. People are clearly affected by his candor.


Which is great and everything.


But we’re guessing there’s only one person out there he cares about reading it and believing every word of it.

Audrey Roloff Shares Candid Family Portrait, Leaves Followers AWWW-Inspired

Audrey Roloff is here to keep it real, folks.


Say what you want about the Little People, Big World cast member, but Audrey really can be counting on to pretty much always do just that.


Even when it means she takes grief for saying something truly controversial, such as feeding your baby formula is a sin.



The TLC star didn’t get nearly as scandalous with her latest Instagram post, however.


She didn’t get scandalous at all, in fact.


She just got all cute and comfortable and cozy with the two people who matter most in her life: husband Jeremy and daughter Ember.


“We woke up like this,” Audrey wrote as a caption to the photo above, adding in more detail:


“Just thought I’d keep it real and throw this photo in your feed to add some variety to all the cute 4th of July pics. We camped out on the farm last night.


“It was our first time sleeping in a tent with Ember and she was a happy camper!”


As she so often does, Roloff concluded by tossing in the following hashtags: #journeyofjerandauj #emberjean #beating50percent.



Audrey and Jeremy have both been very generous with their Ember Jean photos.


The child was born in September and the entire family needed a bit of time to adjust initially, with Audrey admitting that breastfeeding was both challenging and painful for awhille.


But she always had Jeremy’s support.


And husband and wife communicated well throughout, remaining there for each other at all times and, of course, there for their daughter as well.


Upon Ember turning nine months old, Jeremy shared a photo on Instagram and wrote the following:



I’ve realized that kids give you something to measure time with. And in measuring time, I realize how quickly it goes. Reminds me yet again of one of my favorite quotes: “how we spend our days, is of course, how we will spend our lives.”


Just a reminder to live the day how you’d like to live your life.


Pretty great stuff, right?


Audrey, meanwhile, has been extremely candid not just with first-thing-in-the-morning photos, but also about what she had learned as a mother.


“Motherhood has taught me focus less on body-image and more on being an image-bearer,” Roloff opined, for example, adding:


“I am also now capable of getting myself ready in less than 5 mintes, which is an added bonus.”



She also formerly wrote about the concept of “grace,” specifically:


“Motherhood has taught me to give myself loads of grace for all the things I see other mothers doing that make me feel less-than.”


Audrey is also aware that she’ll face judgments for her actions, especially as a public figure, but she can’t let them get to her.


“I’m learning that people will always critcize what you’re doing wrong (they might even write you letters with lists of things you should or shouldn’t be doing),” she once wrote, concluding:


“But I’m not letting that make me bitter, I’m letting it make me brave.”


Amen, Auds.


Keep sharing those pics please! We love em!

Selena Gomez Gets Candid About Depression and Anxiety

Selena Gomez didn’t really take anyone by surprise late last year when she got back together with Justin Bieber.


We always knew those kids would find a way back into each other’s arms and crotches.


But the singer did take us by surprise just a few days ago.



We were stunned to learn earlier this month that Gomez had checked herself into rehab.


Multiple sources confirmed at the time that Selena spent two weeks under the care of professionals, with one insider explaining her decision to E! News as follows:


“She had a difficult year, especially towards the end, and she decided she wanted to spend some time focusing on herself. It was all about wellness and her health.”


It wasn’t the first time she sought such help, either.


In September of 2016, Gomez also checked herself into a similar facility, as she battled at the time against the negative effects of Lupus.



Now, in a cover story for the latest issue of Harper’s Bazaar, the singer opens up like never before about her mental health; where it’s at; and where she knows it will never be.


We’ll let Selena explain…


“I’ve had a lot of issues with depression and anxiety, and I’ve been very vocal about it, but it’s not something I feel I’ll ever overcome.


“There won’t be a day when I’m like, ‘Here I am in a pretty dress – I won!’


“I think it’s a battle I’m gonna have to face for the rest of my life, and I’m okay with that because I know that I’m choosing myself over anything else. I’m starting my year off with that thought.


“I want to make sure I’m healthy. If that’s good, everything else will fall into place.”


That’s a very positive attitude for Gomez to take.


Just like being an alcohol, someone who is diagnosed as Depressed is that way for life.


He or she can get better, of course, but there’s no actual cure of any kind.



Gomez has not released a new studio album since 2015.


And it doesn’t sound like we’ll get one this year, either.


“My next album has been forever in the making,” she admits, explaining why as follows:


“When people ask me why, I’m honest about it: It’s because I haven’t been ready.


“I mean, point-blank, I don’t feel confident enough in where my music is yet. If that takes 10 years, then it takes 10 years. I don’t care.


“Right now I just want to be super intentional with all of the things I’m doing.”


It’s worth noting that Gomez underwent a kidney transplant just a few months ago.


She’s been through A LOT of late.



Selena actually talks to 13 Reasons Why star Katherine Langford for this interview.


She tells the actress that she rarely goes anyplace “trendy” and that her social media popularity comes with some major strings attached.


“I have a complex relationship with Instagram, to say the least,” she explains.


Why would this be?


Well…


“It has given me a voice amid all the noise of people trying to narrate my life for me and allows me to say, ‘Hey, I’m gonna post this, and this is gonna take care of the 1,200 stories that people think are interesting but actually aren’t, and aren’t even true.’


“So it empowers me in that way because it’s my words and my voice and my truth. The only thing that worries me is how much value people our age place on social media.


“It’s an incredible platform, but in a lot of ways it’s given young people, myself included, a false representation of what’s important. So, yeah, it’s a complex relationship.


“Probably one of my most difficult relationships.”


Interesting, huh?


As always, we wish Selena nothing but the best.

Demi Lovato: 19 (VERY!) Candid Confessions from Her Documentary


Demi Lovato has always been an open book.


The singer has never shied away over the years from discussing her battles with substance abuse and an eating disorder.


In the YouTube documentary "Simply Complicated," Lovato is an open… series of books?


We"re not sure how to phrase it, we just know the artist discusses absolutely everything, from her career to her drug use to her most famous relationship.


Scroll down and then all around for a look at all we learned about Lovato in this revealing film:




1. When Did She First Do Cocaine?


When did she first do cocaine

“I was 17 working on Disney Channel, and I was with a couple of friends and they introduced me to it. I was scared because my mom always told me that your heart could just burst if you do it. But I did it anyways and I loved it. I felt out of control with the coke the first time that I did it.”



2. Yes, She Once Punched a Backup Dancer in the Face


Yes she once punched a backup dancer in the face

After learning someone named Shorty outed her for using Adderall during a Camp Rock 2 tour, “I remember thinking, ‘I’m about to beat this bitch up.’ She had already boarded the plane, I just went up to her and it was like a blur.”



3. This Was a "Breaking Point"


Demi lovato thanks fans

Lovato said she slept the whole day afterward, texted her mom an apology and realized she needed major help.



4. She Entered Rehab, Got Diagnosed as Bipolar…

… and then fell off the wagon: “I wasn’t working my program, I wasn’t ready to get sober. I was sneaking it on planes, in bathrooms, nobody knew. I went on a bender of two months when I was using daily and there was one night where I used a bunch of coke, I popped a few Xanax bars and I started to choke a little bit and my heart started racing. I remember thinking, oh my god, I might be overdosing right now.”



5. This Was the Last Time She Drank:


Demi lovato sings purple rain

“I invited 2 random people and basically just drank with them. I got really really drunk until it was time to get on a flight and I was so drunk that I threw up in the back of the car service on the way to the airport to perform on American Idol. I felt like that was a moment in my career where I didn’t care. I just knew that I needed to be high to get through what I was going through at that point.”



6. It Was On to a Sober Living Facility

She retired here every night after judging The X Factor. Said her manager in the documentary of this experience: “She’s having to do chores. She has no cell phone. She’s completely and totally submitted to the process of recovery.”

The Kardashian Decade: How a Sex Tape Led to a Billion-Dollar Brand.


This is the pretty fantastic and unfortunately accurate title of a cover story by The Hollywood Reporter from August of 2017.


Indeed, Kim and company burst on to the celebrity gossip scene in 2007… and have been dominating nearly every conversation ever since.


How did they get here? What is the basis for the success? What sort of surprising facts and tidbits did this lengthy feature piece reveal?


Scroll down for some answers!




1. Before She Was a Star…

Kim tells the publication “I was going to [Pierce College], and after school I would go work the cash register at our store, Dash.” This all changed when she was 27 years old.



2. Before There Was Ever Keeping Up with the Kardashians…

“We had talked to producers about doing a show about the three of us running the store, Dash, where Khloe and I would do the day-to-day, and Kim would come in as a stylist,” Kourtney says. “It didn’t go anywhere.”



3. The Key to the Show’s Success

“The watercooler chatter from the first episode was all about [9-year-old] Kylie jumping on a stripper pole,” Kris now says. “Kim had one installed in my bedroom and our friend Robin Anton, who is the founder of The Pussycat Dolls, was just messing around, and Kylie hops up there, twirls around a couple times, and it became this thing.”



6. When Did Kendall Realize She was a Star?

“Kylie and I did a magazine signing for Seventeen, and it was at some store at The Grove and we had a crazy line around the corner. The store owner came up to us and said, “Justin Bieber was here a week ago and didn’t get this response.”

Prince Harry Admits to Therapy, Gets Candid About Mom"s Death

Prince Harry may not look like most people out there.


He may have more money than the average individual and he definitely has had a status bestowed upon him to which nearly no one else can relate.


But that doesn’t mean the Royal Stud Muffin isn’t just like everyone else when it comes to struggling with some serious emotions.



Speaking to The Telegraph‘s Bryony Gordon for the first episode of her new podcast Mad World, Harry opened way up this weekend about his reaction to his beloved mother’s shocking death.


“I’ve spent most of my life saying ‘I’m fine’ … and most of us aren’t up for going that deep. So today I’m OK. I’m a little bit nervous. I’m a little bit tight in the chest but otherwise fine,” Harry said as a preamble to the larger discussion about mental health.


The Prince went on to explain that losing mom Princess Diana in 1997 on the “public platform” affected his personal and public life.


It really messed with his internal stability for a long time.


Harry spoke as candidly about the tragedy as he ever has before in this interview, telling the host:


“I can safely say that losing my mom at the age of 12 and therefore shutting down all of my emotions for the last 20 years has had quite a serious effect on not only my personal life but also my work as well.”



Princess Diana was killed when the car she was a passenger in crashed after it attempted to speed away from the paparazzi.


It was a catastrophe whose affects reverberated around the globe.


But no one was hit harder by Diana’s passing harder, of course, than her two kids, Harry and William.


“My way of dealing with it was sticking my head in the sand, refusing to ever think about my mum because why would that help?” Harry said on the podcast.



After years not thinking about his mother’s horrible death and being “a problem” through a lot of his 20s, the Prince says he experienced two years of “total chaos.”


Therefore, with the “huge support” of his brother when he was 28, he started seeking professional assistance, telling Gordon he visited with a therapist “more than a couple of times.”


He also credited boxing as a coping mechanism.


This sport served as a healthy way to get out his anger and pain, Harry detailed, because “I was on the verge of punching someone.”


How is Harry doing these days?


The Royal Family member certainly seems happy to be dating Meghan Markle, confirming on the podcast that he’s “in a good place” at the moment.



“Because of the process that I’ve been through over the last two and a half to three years, I’ve now been able to take my work seriously, be able to take my private life seriously as well, and be able to put blood, sweat and tears into the things that really make a difference,’ he says.


Will he get married to Markle?


That issue was never raised.


Instead, Harry was far more interested in normalizing the stigma around mental health issues.


“No matter who you are, the conversation has to be the beginning,” he said.

Selena Gomez Gets Candid: Who Would Date Me?!?

Selena Gomez does not want your sympathy.


She wants to make that clear.



The singer is happy with her life and grateful for her job and is not looking for anyone to feel remotely sorry for her.


HOWEVER…


… Gomez also covers the latest issue of Australia Vogue, telling the magazine that it can be challenging to date as a celebrity.


“For a while my private life was the most talked about thing,” Gomez tells the publication, adding:


“Nobody really knows everything and they can only assume. You want to do what you love but all this other stuff overshadows it so it makes it a little harder for people to take me seriously.”


Gomez, of course, is referring to her relationship with Justin Bieber.


Perhaps you’ve heard of him.


The romance was on for a couple of years… and then off… and then back on again… and now does appear to be off for good.


Possibly. Conceivable. Who can really ever say?


Yet, despite her mammoth personal success, many people will always refer to Selena as Justin Bieber’s Ex-Girlfriend.


The artist’s life seemed forever linked with her past lover, which has to be both difficult and really irritating.



The 24-year-old has since moved on from that time in her personal life, investing her passion and energy into her her profession instead.


Gomez is currently in the middle of a sold-out world tour.


“I figured it’s just temporary,” she says of her dating dry spell “I feel like that, fortunately and unfortunately, it’s where my life is at the moment and I have to accept it.”


But while Selena may talk a good game, she also would love to have a steady, loving boyfriend.


Who among us would not, right?


She understands, however, why most guys out there would be hesitant to get into a relationship with her.


“Because I think people would think it’s kind of dumb [to date me],” Gomez explains.


“Nobody would want to throw themselves into that situation where it was so heightened publicly, like, why would they?”


It’s a good question.


Imagine your every move, your every message and your every mistake was turned into celebrity gossip fodder.


It would almost be enough to cause one to have a mental breakdown.



As it stands these days, Selena is content in finding a creative outlet through her music, explaining to Vogue Australia the reason she pushed her label to release “Good For You” as Revival’s first single.


“I was so adamant that I didn’t want that to be my story,” she says.


“‘Same Old Love’ is so obvious in what it’s about, it’s a cycle of a very vicious relationship. Even though that is such a huge narrative of my life.


“I felt confident with ‘Good For You’ [being the first single], and then it could be like, I’m pissed and this is exhausting.’ I think any girl would feel that.”


For plenty more from Selena Gomez, pick up the next issue of Australian Vogue when it hits newsstands on August 15.


She’d do the same for you if you were featured in magazine!

Catelynn Lowell Opens Up About Postpartum Depression in Candid Interview

If you watch Teen Mom online, you know that Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra may well be the most stable couple and the most competent parents in the history of the franchise.


Naturally, this doesn’t mean that their lives are perfect.



In a new interview with Life & Style, Catelynn discusses her battle with postpartum depression in a remarkably candid interview.


The 23-year-old says she’s been struggling ever since giving birth to daughter Novalee in January of 2015.


“I didn’t really know and I still don’t know what’s going on with my postpartum,” she tells the tabloid. “For a while I felt fine, but I’ve always suffered from depression, anxiety and panic attacks.”


While Lowell laments that doctors have been unable to help her, she praises her husband, Baltierra, for standing by her side and helping to keep her symptoms at bay.


“Tyler is my backbone and helps me a lot,” Catelynn says. “He pushes me and will make me do things like go for a walk so [the depression] goes away.”


Catelynn says she’s optimistic for the future, but is well aware that it may be quite some time before she’s able to a more stable emotional state.


“It’s a daily struggle,” Lowell concludes.


Fortunately, she’s Catelynn seems to have a strong support network to help her through this difficult time.

22 Candid Celebrity Sex Confessions


Sometimes, celebrities make stunning confessions that have to do with their health, their sexuality or any one of several very personal and important topics.


Other times, celebrities simply spill about sex.


These are examples of those latter times, of when stars threw naked caution to the wind and talked openly about various aspects of their bedroom (or backseat!) behavior…




1. Sexual. Napalm.


Sexual napalm

This remains the greatest quote uttered by one celebrity about another; possibly the greatest quote uttered by anyone ever. Said John Mayer of intercourse with Jessica Simpson: “Sexually it was crazy. That’s all I’ll say. It was like napalm, sexual napalm. Did you ever say, ‘I want to quit my life and just f*****’ snort you? If you charged me $ 10,000 to f*** you, I would start selling all my s*** just to keep f****** you."”



2. I give him a 10! A f-ckin 10!


I give him a 10 a f ckin 10

Elizabeth Hurley dated Hugh Grant for 13 years. And even though he cheated on her with a hooker, the actress still rated Grant as a “10” in bed when speaking to Andy Cohen about their sex life.



3. I give myself a 10!


Katy perry at muchmusic video awards 2012

Speaking of high marks, Katy Perry told Glamour in 2010 that she’s sure ex Russell Brand would have given her a “10 out of 10” in the sack.



4. Ouch!


Ouch

Maybe she wasn’t a 10 after all? About sleeping with Katy Perry, Russell Brand once said: “I’d be having sex thinking, ‘Think of anyone, anyone else."”



5. And the award for most covert sexual act goes to…


Chrissy teigen and john legend pregnancy announcement

“We were on our way to Thailand to see my parents, flying commercial first-class,” Chrissy Teign said of her and John Legend. “We were under a blanket. We weren’t even in one of those pod things. I feel like we should get a trophy for that.”



6. Up (or down!) for whatever

In an April 2012 interview for The Conversation With Amanda de Cadenet, Gwyneth Paltrow admitted to not having a favorite sexual position, simply saying “I’m down with all of them.”
