Kelly Dodd: Fire Vicki Gunvalson! She"s Past Her Expiration Date!
Season 14 of The Real Housewives of Orange County will be here before any of us know it.
Kelly Dodd is well aware, but revealed on The Talk she thinks that the cast needs one major mix-up before filming begins.
She thinks that most of her colleagues should return, and she has specific reasons for that.
But she thinks that Vicki Gunvalson needs to go.
And her metaphor in explaining why will be enough to curdle your blood.
Take a look:
1. Kelly Dodd says Vicki is old news
And she has a very specific analogy to share — after she shares why her other castmates deserve to remain on the show
2. Kelly on Shannon:
“I’m obviously friends with Shannon [Beador],” Kelly says. “I talk to her every day.”
3. Kelly on Tamra:
“I talk to Tamra [Judge] every day,” Kelly adds.
4. The show wouldn’t be the same without those two
“So,” Kelly continues. “I want them to be back for sure.”
5. Kelly on the new girls:
“I like Emily and Gina,” Kelly notes of Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter.
6. Kelly welcomes her newest castmates
“I think they should get a second chance,” Kelly says of the newcomers.

Tori Spelling Says Wildfires Forced Her to Evacuate; Fire Marshal Says She"s Lying
As you’ve no doubt heard by now, dozens have lost their lives and millions of dollars in property has been destroyed, as California continues to battle the deadliest wildfires in the state’s history.
Numerous celebrities have lost their homes, including Miley Cyrus, Gerard Butler, and Robin Thicke.
Those stars have received an outpouring of support from fan,s and it seems Tori Spelling may have taken one look at the tidal wave of sympathy and thought, how can I get in on that?!
Tori took to Instagram this week and told a tale of being evacuated just as the fires made their way to her neighborhood:
“My big brood and I were evacuated last night. My eyes swell with happy tears when I reflect on how many friends immediately reached out and offered their homes to us,” the actress said.
“No small offer when you are talking about a family of seven. Some I don’t even know that well but as part of our school community they stepped up. Thank you all!”
Fans were quick to rally behind Tori with words of love and support.
“Praying for you and your family,” commented one follower.
“I’m so sad and sorry this is happening! Praying for you all,” wrote another.
It’s great that Spelling has such caring friends and fans … but it looks like those folks may have been bamboozled by the notoriously unstable actress.
“I haven’t heard anything about Mulholland Drive [where Spelling resides] being affected,” a Los Angeles County fire marshal tells Radar Online.
“I can tell you that I was just sent from Miracle Mile and we’re here in Woodland Hills in kind of a standby mode. We have been dispatched to different place across the city. We have different pools of fire engines kind of in a standby mode.”
The unidentified firefighter went on to say that there’s a possibility Spelling’s neighborhood could be affected by the fires — but it definitely hasn’t happened yet:
“We still have high winds and there is danger, so there could be spots and new fires that can break out. So we are sieging resources to get ready for that,” says the fire marshal.
It’s possible there’s some confusion here, or that Spelling and her family made the decision to evacuate on their own out of an abundance of caution.
But if it turns out Tori is lying, we think it’s safe to say this incident won’t do any wonders for her already battered reputation.
It’s anyone’s guess as to why she would concoct such a story.
Spelling’s financial troubles have been well-documented, so it’s possible she exaggerated her situation in hope of a handout.
Insiders who know the actress say Tori seems to lie compulsively, and they’ve learned to take everything she says with a grain of salt.
Here’s hoping Tori will provide soon post an update clarifying that this has all been one big misunderstanding.
Otherwise, she may have just reached a new rock bottom in a career that’s been filled with them.

Jenelle Evans Doesn"t Care That California is on Fire Right Now
Jenelle Evans is a moron.
Sorry, there"s just no other way to say it.
The Teen Mom 2 cast member has made many bad decisions over the course of her life, right up to and including her marriage to David Eason…
… who she evidently thinks everyone totally loves.
But one of the least smart things Evans has ever done is take a vacation in California and share a number of lovely photos from the trip — while totally ignoring the awful wild fires that rage around the state and cause the evacuation of over 250,000 people.
Yes, she really has done this.
Scroll down to see her photos, read her captions and then to roll your eyes at her obvliousness:
1. Jenelle and David Eason are on Vacation
They are visiting Sequoia National Park, California, which is an absolutely gorgeous place to be. That much is not in dispute.
2. But Here’s the Thing:
Wild fires all around the Malibu area have caused mass evacautions and led to the deaths of at leat 31 people. It’s a statewide tragedy, even for those not immediately affected by the disaster. You can watch the above video for more.
3. Is Jenelle Close to the Still-Spreading Flames?
No. The national park at which she’s a visitor and Malibu are over 250 miles apart. She is safe and sound and very far away from the danger zone(s).
4. But Still, Right?
Many folks out there would agree it’s in bad taste to brag about the glorious sights and sounds all around you in the same state in which a quarter million people are literally, simultaneously fleeing for their lives.
5. It’s Amazing Out Here, Though!
“This is the most magical place I’ve ever been in my life! I’m so glad to have experienced it with my best friend. This makes you wonder if giants were ever real,” Jenelle wrote as a caption to this photo and a few others from her trip.
6. Look at Us, Not Running for Shelter from the Fire!
Added Evans: “Nature is super breathtaking. Don’t ever take it for granted. Adventure out everywhere you can and explore the world!”
Miley Cyrus Loses Home to Fire, Remains "Grateful for All I Have Left"
Miley Cyrus has penned an emotional post about the loss of something very close and personal:
Her home.
The singer alerted Instagram and Twitter followers last night that her house burned down in the massive wild fire that continues to consume significant areas of California.
“Completely devestated [sic] by the fires affecting my community,” the singer Tweeted on Sunday, explaining in more detail:
“I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.”
It’s very safe to assume that Cyrus is referencing Liam Hemsworth when she writes the “LOVE OF MY LIFE.”
“I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department!” she continued.
From there, as you can see below, Miley encouraged followers to donate to organizations that are helping folks stay safe during this very dangerous time:
“I love you more than ever , Miley,” the star concluded her post.
OVer 250,000 residents of California have been evacuated as a result of this ongoing disaster.
At last count, 31 people had died.
Other celebrities who have lost their homes, been forced to flee or just commented on the tragedy in general include Alyssa Milano, Gerard Butler, Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga.
Tweeted the A Star is Born actress:
I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames.
All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.
Kardashian, meanwhile, used the stage of Sunday’s People Choice Awards to speak on the devastation that has affected her, her siblings and so many others.
“It’s been a really rough week in our home in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and for our neighbors in Thousand Oaks and Malibu,” Kim said, elaborating in emotional detail as follows:
“Our hearts are broken from the horrific shootings and for those who have lost their lives and homes, as well as the hundreds of thousands of us that have been evacuated from the devastating fires that are currently burning.”
Continued Kim:
“As horrible as this has been, it’s been amazing to see the resilient spirit of everyone involved, and the heroism of those risking their lives on the front lines.
“Action is necessary, so anything we can do to help, as simple as donating to the many organization that are collecting supplies, no form of help is too small.
“Our country is stronger when we come together and we cannot face devastation alone.
“We must continue to reach out and help each other during these trying times.”
Amen, right?
Over 200 people have been reporting missing as a result of these wild fires.
Tragically, as winds continue to gust and the blazes continue to spread, there doesn’t appear to really be an end in sight.
We wish nothing but the best to all those affected.

Alaskan Bush People Finale Trailer Teases Fire, Ami"s Health, and a Wedding!
In real time, Matt Brown has checked into rehab. That is a brave and smart decision. On television, the Browns have other concerns.
Alaskan Bush People Season 8 has scarcely begun … but it is almost over. This season ends on Sunday.
But we have the season finale promo trailer for you, promising danger, medical news, and a wedding.
The official Twitter account for Discovery"s Alaskan Bush People tweeted this promo for the season finale.
"We"re not ready to say goodbye," the tweet laments.
No one is — like we said, we"re only a few episodes into the season.
"Join us for the season finale," the tweet invites fans and followers. "Sunday at 9p on Discovery and Discovery GO."
Time passes so quickly these days.
Within the promo trailer itself, the family faces a new menace as they battle the elements in Washington.
"We"ve had floods," Gabe lists.
Gabe continues, saying: "We"ve had road issues."
"And now," he laments. "Fire."
"The fire seems very serious," viewers hear.
"I"ve never seen that much smoke," Bird confesses.
Those of us who have been around massive wildfires can attest — it"s a unique experience. And it is not a fun one.
Bird explains: "The fires are just that close."
Watching the trailer, fans can see that for themselves.
We just hope that Ami Brown was in California. That much smoke is not good for a lung cancer patient.
Speaking of Ami, the finale shows her return from her checkup.
"How"d it go?" the family asks.
"We finally got the results in," Billy begins.
His voice sounds a little uneasy. Whether it"s genuine emotion or played up for the cameras (or both) is difficult to say.
"Everything is, uh …" Billy continues.
Naturally, this is a teaser trailer., so his words cut off there.
Fans do not get to hear those results until they watch the episode.
That said, Ami"s cancer was reportedly in remission as of last July.
We expect that they"ll deliver good news after the show plays up the tension.
Ami"s health is not the only (hopefully) good news to which viewers will be treated.
"And a new Brown joins the family," one of the trailer"s internal cards teases.
We know, of course, that Noah Brown married Rhain Alisha back in August.
At the time, we had hoped that viewers would get to see this special occasion. Clearly, they will.
Additionally, that card"s phrasing — referring to Rhain as another Brown — is further confirmation that Rhain will take Noah"s last name.
Hopefully, that will lay those nastily persistent fan rumors to rest.
Not every family, even on reality television, has to be consumed by feuding just because that is more entertaining to viewers.
We look forward to the finale — and to even more of the Brown family.

Jim Carrey Under Fire for Painting "White" Aretha Franklin
Actor Jim Carrey has been pouring his heart and soul into paintings and sharing them on social media.
Those paintings — like his unflattering portrait of Sarah Huckabee Sanders — have sometimes proven to be controversial.
He did a portrait of the late, great Aretha Franklin, but it is not going over well. Did he paint her as a white woman?
The legendary Aretha Franklin passed away at 76 years of age after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Jim Carrey, known for posting his paintings on Twitter as a form of commentary on current events, shared a portrait of her.
“Look how beautiful a life can be,’ Carrey wrote as he shared the image.
Carrey continued: “Thank you, Aretha!”
The painting that he included of the Queen of Soul, however, caused quite a stir.
Do you see what was controversial about this painting?
In life, Aretha Franklin was a dark-skinned black woman. She is one of the most famous black women on the planet.
In Carrey’s painting, Aretha’s skin looks very, very white in tone.
So much so that, without context, some would never have recognized the subject of his work.
And folks on Twitter took to the replies to notice.
This is not a unique phenomenon, unfortunately.
Whitewashing is found in fanart from all sorts of fandoms. People have drawn famous black women, from real ones like Beyonce to fictional ones like Storm or Tiana, with skin so fair that they don’t even look like tan white people.
Sometimes, there is a genuine prejudice behind it. Racism is real, and sometimes that malice makes its way into art.
In other cases, however, it comes from a lack of familiarity with how to draw or paint someone with dark brown skin.
Some art classes simply don’t train people in it. And because so many white faces dominate pop culture, a lot of white artists do not get much practice.
(As you can see, one person even tweaked the image to pay more accurate tribute to Aretha’s skin tone)
We do not think that Jim Carrey was in any way malicious or racist in his intentions.
Rather, his very light painting was the result of white supremacy’s impact on our culture and the arts as a whole.
This can be a useful learning experience for Carrey and for aspiring artists.
And if you’re ever unsure of how you’re portraying someone, you can always look up online resources — or just ask someone.
The spirit of what Carrey did was, of course, great.
Aretha Franklin touched countless hearts and minds with her incredible voice.
It is only fitting that he and other artists want to honor her and her passing.
But sometimes, people screw up — even if it’s something seemingly small. And that can come across as an unintended insult to marginalized communities.
We all need to be conscious of what we do and how we do it in order to be good people.
Otherwise, our respectful tributes seem like an insult.
