Dirk Nowitzki is a free agent … but the 40-year-old legend tells TMZ Sports when it comes to the NBA, it’s “Mavs for life.” Dirk and the Dallas Mavericks have already mutually agreed to opt out of Nowitzki’s contract — which included a $ 5…

Matt Roloff: I"m Loving Life in Arizona!
Matt Roloff has made it very clear in his latest Instagram post:
He may never return to Oregon.
No, the Little People, Big World patriarch did not come out and say this directly.
He didn’t even imply it, really.
We’re just reading between the lines a little bit here, based on some of the rumors we’ve heard; some of the news that has been leaking out; and some of Matt’s own words.
Roloff has said himself that he’s moving to Arizona, having reportedly purchased a home there that formerly belonged to the parents of his girlfriend, Caryn Chandler.
He’s been spending a lot of time in this state — and, as you can tell by the photo above, he’s having himself a blast there.
“Must admit… I love the hot temps with the low humidity. Today 109 with 11%,” wrote Roloff as a caption to this image.
Holy hotness, huh?!?
But at least it was a dry heat.
Matt is a busy man these days.
And he’s not busy doing anything on his family’s farm, which is a pretty huge change for the veteran reality star.
Roloff is actually about to embark on a book tour, telling Instagram followers that he may soon be coming to their city in order to meet them, greet them and sign some autographs.
What does this all mean for the future of Little People, Big World?
That’s what we’ve been wondering for awhile now.
Over the past several installments of this TLC hit, both Matt and ex-wife Amy have expressed some doubts over where things are going.
Said the latter a few weeks ago, for example:
“I don’t know what the future of the farm really holds… it’s a challenge sometimes with Matt and I living on the farm together, being divorced and everything.”
Amy and Matt are both in serious relationships, the former with Chris Marek and the latter with Chandler.
They’ve been living within just a couple hundred yards of each other for years now, despite their divorce and despite some understandable tension that exists between the exes.
They do mostly get along, but they sometimes clash pretty hard over their shared business.
Of course, the ex-spouses also have two grandkids, Jackson and Ember, both of whom reside in Oregon.
Would Matt really move far away for extended periods of time?
It seems a little hard to believe when you consider how close he is to these toddlers.
Case in point:
But Arizona is clearly calling on occasion and Matt is very happy to answer.
TLC is yet to make any announcements about the future of Little People, Big World, leaving fans to wonder whether it will return after this current run of episodes is over.
It’s not as though it hasn’t enjoyed a terrific run, of course.
Heck, it’s helped the family set a world record!
If this will soon be the end, the series has had quite a run, that’s for certain.

Briana DeJesus to Kailyn Lowry: Stay Out of My Life, Fat Bitch!
Briana DeJesus and Kailyn Lowry have been at each other"s throats for quite some time, but their feud may have peaked on last night"s episode of Teen Mom 2.
No, they didn"t throw down in some sort of ultra-satisfying physical altercation.
Instead, they upped the ante in very modern fashion — from different parts of the country, using podcasts and tweets as their weapons.
It all started when Javi Marroquin appeared on Kailyn"s podcast shortly after his breakup with Briana.
Briana didn"t like what she heard, and she made her feelings known as only she can.
Here"s a brief rundown of how it all played out …
1. Best Frenemies
Remember when Briana and Kail were actually friendly toward one another? Ha! That didn’t last long. These days, the co-stars have nothing but ill will for one another, and Javi Marroquin is often at the center of their conflict.
2. Briana Split
On last night’s episode of TM2, we finally got to see how and why Javi and Briana called it quits.
3. The Problem With Javi
Javi, as we know, is a guy who takes an all or nothing approach to relationships. He visited Briana in Orlando and pressured her to move to Delaware and essentially start a life with him.
4. Not Having It
Briana, of course, had no interest in such an arrangement. She complained about seeing a side of Javi that she’d never seen before and essentially kicked him to the curb.
5. Javi’s Version
Javi, of course, made it sound as though he was the one who ended things, but that’s a conversation for another time.
6. Boyfriend-ectomy
Javi didn’t like the fact that Bri was planning to undergo additional plastic surgeries, and she didn’t like that he was so critical. “I felt controlled,” Briana told producers. “I felt like he was trying to manipulate me in a situation I didn’t want to be in.” Javi chose a different venue to tell his side of the story .,..

Farrah Abraham: JJ Abrams Is Gonna Make My Life Story Into a Movie!
Backdoor Star Wars? Super 8 Inches? Felicity, But She’s a Porn Star Instead of a College Student?
Yes, the prospect of a Farrah Abraham-J.J. Abrams collaboration has our minds racing with possibility.
Unfortunately, at this point, the project exists only in Farrah’s fevered imagination.
It seems that ever since being fired from Teen Mom OG for her refusal to stop performing in online sex shows, Ms. Abraham has had a lot of time on her hands.
While much of that time has been dedicated to less-than-productive pursuits, such as getting arrested for attacking hotel staff, she’s also been casually toying with the idea of dropping a new Citizen Kane on all our asses.
Yes, Farrah is hoping to adapt her memoir, My Teenage Dream Ended, into a Hollywood feature film.
And she knows just who she wants in charge of the project.
“I’m working on storyboards right now and the screenplay, it’s really a project and a challenge and it’s crazy good,” she recently explained to TooFab.
“I can’t wait, I’m on my first draft right now and it’s going beyond what was said in the book.”
But don’t worry, Farrah isn’t straying too far from the magic that made Teenage Dream the Moby Dick of reality TV memoirs.
“The book is a classic, and that’s where everything stems from, and that’s the main storyline, which we need to stick with,” Farrah says.
“But I also think showing some before and after the show is really what the fans want, so we’re getting that and I can’t wait to show that. It’s going to be very interesting.”
Yes, Farrah just unironically described her memoir as a classic.
And who knows? Maybe in 40 years, schoolchildren will be writing book reports about the various symbolic meanings of the term “backdoor” in Farrah’s masterwork.
Believe it or not, that seems more plausible than Farrah’s plans for the movie version of her book.
You see, Farrah not only thinks this film is getting made, she’s convinced it’s gonna win every Oscar and make a cool few billion at the international box office.
“We’re going to have a real casting director, producers, the best of the best for everything,” she stated.
“Maybe I’ll work with J.J. Abrams, there are some other people on my top list.
“The production companies associated with I, Tonya, I really think they would get this storyline as well. So I can’t wait to see who’s the best fit.”
Actually … comparing herself to Tonya Harding might actually be the least-dumb thing Farrah has ever done.
As for JJ’s involvement — well, can envision that meeting now:
Abrams: So what’s this project all about?
Cigar-Munching Hollywood Type: A reality star who sells plastic molds of her b-hole on the internet. But don’t worry; it’s got a real casting director!
Abrams: Sold!
As for who will play the role of Farrah, it’s tough to predict which direction her ego will take her in on this one.
Obviously, she would relish the attention that would come with playing herself.
But at the same time, the allure of recruiting some A-list Oscar-winner like Jennifer Lawrence might be too strong to resist.
Watch Teen Mom OG online to remind yourself how much of a plum role Farrah would be an actress willing to go full batsh-t.

Ashley Jones Slams MTV: Being on Teen Mom Ruined My Life!
The Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant franchise has been a source of constant controversy since day one.
Some critics complained that the show glamorized teen pregnancy for an impressionable audience, while others have argued that the shows are exploitative and take advantage of young women at the most vulnerable points in their lives.
Lending credence to the latter argument is the fact that many of the moms who have appeared on the series have publicly clashed with producers, often complaining that they were villainized and intentionally misrepresented.
Jenelle Evans has lashed out at producers on social media, even going so far as to accuse them of negatively affecting the outcomes of her many custody battles.
Farrah Abraham was recently fired by MTV, and she’s since seized every opportunity to call out Teen Mom OG showrunners as manipulative opportunists.
And now, one of the franchise’s newest stars has added her voice to the chorus of outrage.
Ashley Jones was featured on the first season of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant.
And as The Ashley’s Reality Roundup points out, Jones was very unhappy with the way she was portrayed on the series.
When the above photo of Ashley appeared on Instagram, she took to the comments section to air her frustrations:
“I love how the other girls are all smiling and happy and you choose to post none of those happy moments for me,” Ashley wrote.
“The whole season I was edited to look like a monster. Joining this show was by far the worst decision of my life.”
She added:
“All those hours of filming and all the positivity I spread and y’all didn’t show any of it.
“No trust for the producers or anyone else that works on the show and knows the kind of person that I am but says nothing to editing.”
Jones also stated that the fights between her and her boyfriend, Bar Smith, that were shown on the series were entirely scripted.
“If you want to see how me and Bar really are, on a daily basis without these edited ass scripted fights join my YouTube channel,” she wrote.
Jones went on to allege that there was a racial component to the biased editing, writing:
“It’s funny how the black girl is always made to look mad and ignorant.”
Some fans were sympathetic, but most seemed to feel that it was Jones who made herself look bad, not the show’s editors:
“YOU made yourself look mad and ignorant,” wrote one viewer. “Has nothing to do with you being black!”
“If you would have checked out all the other [‘Teen Mom] social media accounts beforehand you would have known how to act appropriately when the cameras were around so they don’t make you look like a trashy monster,” chimed in another.
Ashley may not wish to return for another season, but she certainly proved she’s capable of carrying on a proud Teen Mom tradition by clashing with fans on social media!

Man Sues Ex-Girlfriend For Ruining His Life and WINS!
It’s very likely that there was a time when you wanted to file suit against an ex following a particularly nasty breakup.
Perhaps the sight of your former partner clipping their toenails while eating sent you into a shame spiral that caused you to question every decision you’ve ever made.
Or maybe they ruined your friendships by showing up to pub trivia night and incessantly shouting, “Freebird!” during the music rounds.
Or they might have brought you to the brink of a meltdown by washing that NFL jersey you’ve had since you were a kid even though you told them it was game-worn and signed, Stacy, God!
Anyway, all of those annoyances pale in comparison to the suffering that Eric Abramovitz endured at the hands of his ex-girlfriend Jennifer Lee.
Eric and Jennifer met while they were both in college and within a month, they were living together and sharing a laptop.
Frankly, we’re side-eyeing both of them for moving that quickly, but hey, maybe it would have worked out — were it not for the fact that Jen is a bunny-boiling nutjob.
You see, Eric is one of the top clarinetists in the country, a fact that’s important for two reasons:
1. As a Canadian clarinetist, we assume he’s the most non-threatening man alive and doesn’t deserve to have his life ruined.
2. Jennifer decided to torpedo Eric’s clarinetting career in the most brutal way possible, apparently as some sort of twisted act of love.
Back in 2013, Eric was offered a chance to study the Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles, where he would hone his craft alongside Yehuda Gilad, who is apparently considered the top clarinetist in the world.
Not only that, the school was prepared to offer Eric a $ 50,000 scholarship.
Great news, right?
Well, not for Eric, because he didn’t find out about the offer until it was much too late.
Remember that shared laptop we mentioned earlier?
Yeah, Jen used that to delete the scholarship email and then decline the offer on Eric’s behalf.
In case that’s not psychotic enough for you, she then created a fake email address and pretended to be Gilad.
She emailed her boyfriend — posing as the world’s greatest clarinetist — and basically told him better luck next time.
Years later — after he and Lee had broken up — Abramovitz crossed paths with his would-be mentor and Gilad asked why he turned down the scholarship.
“That’s when I knew something underhanded was afoot,” Eric told the Montreal Gazette.
That’s putting mildly.
Using a password that he knew was a favorite of Jen’s, Eric logged into the fake email account Jennifer had created.
Not only did he uncover the fake rejection letter she had penned herself, he found out she’d also turned him down on behalf of Julliard and other top schools.
The reason? She didn’t want him to move away and leave her behind.
Needless to say, Eric was a little dismayed to learn that his ex had willfully set his career back by several years, and he decided to take the matter before a judge.
This week, an Ontario judge awarded Ambramovitz $ 350,000 as compensation for irreparable career damage.
“I accept and find that Mr. Abramovitz lost a unique and prestigious educational opportunity, one that would have advanced his career as a professional clarinetist,” the judge said.
“I cannot speculate as to how high and how quickly Mr. Abramovitz’s career might have soared, but for the interference by Ms. Lee. But the law does recognize that the loss of a chance is a very real and compensable loss.”
Let this be a lesson to everyone who’s in a relationship, might one day be in a relationship, or just got out of a relationship:
Keep those passwords private, folks.

Meghan Markle Finally Speaks on Married Life, Makes Bold Statement About Prince Harry
Meghan Markle has made multiple appearances since becoming the Duchess of Sussex.
She’s even made her debut on the balcony of Buckingham Palace and has even established herself in British society to such an extent that she’s receiving backlash for her fashion choices.
So, yes, we have seen Markle ever since her monumental wedding to Prince Harry back on May 19.
But we haven’t really heard from Markle since this she officially became part of the Royal Family.
Not until now at least.
On Thursday afternoon, Markle enjoyed a walkabout in Chester, England, joining Queen Elizabeth II for her first solo engagement with the beloved monarch.
She carried herself very well, as you might expect, even prompting a number of smiles and laughs from the typically-stoic queen.
While speaking with residents gathered along the sidewalk, Markle also addressed her life as a newlywed, specifically giving folks her take on her very famous and handsome husband.
According to press on the scene, the new Duchess of Sussex referred Prince Harry as “best husband ever,” saying simply of being his wife:
“It’s wonderful.”
It is important to remember, of course, that Markle was once married to Trevor Engelson.
She split from him in 2013, but she actually does have a husband to whom she can compare Harry, making the above remark carry more weight.
Last weekend, the married twosome re-emerged in public together for the first time in a few weeks to join the queen at the annual Trooping the Colour ceremony.
As mentioned previously, this event marked Markle’s debut on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
We’ve since learned that Markle and Harry had been away from the spotlight because they found time to jet off to Africa for their honeymoon.
An insider has confirmed to E! News that the Royal Couple traveled into East Africa, to be accurate, and also visited more than two nations, where their activities included safaris and outdoor adventures, along with much-deserved rest and relaxation in the sun.
(We’re also guessing they had a lot of sex.)
“It was the perfect break and blend of their passions,” this E! source says. “Restorative and the perfect holiday before starting a very busy second half of 2018.”
Busy because Harry and Meghan will be making many public appearances?
Yes, we’re certain this is true.
But also busy because they’ll be preparing to be parents?
Indeed, questions about just when Markle will get pregnant have already started to circulate around the Internet.
We’re not about to add any pressure to the lives of these global stars, however. They only just got married!
We’ll just wish them all the best for a happy and healthy future and ask that they alert The Hollywood Gossip to any baby news prior to any other entertainment/gossip outlet.
We’d really appreciate it.

Kendra Wilkinson: Sorry for Ruining Your Life, Hank Baskett!
Earlier this week, Kendra tweeted and deleted accusations about Hank. She said that he recorded their conversations, blamed her for ending his football career, and blamed him for his own affair.
Kendra clearly thought better of it, deleting those tweets and instead putting up a heartfelt apology.
And, surprisingly, she even admitted responsibility for one of those things that Hank blames her for.
In some (yet again deleted) tweets, Kendra poured out her regrets by apologizing to her ex.
“I want to apologize publicly to Hank.”
One would assume that it was simply because she aired their dirty laundry, but there’s a twist.
“I was the reason your football career ended.”
That is … kind of a huge admission.
“I regret doing that to u and i hope you learn to forgive me one day.”
Honestly, given that the vast majority of football players endure massive, chronic brain trauma and other physical stresses that doom them to an early grave, she may have done him a favor.
But she doesn’t point that out. There’s a time and a place.
“I loved u and was always your number one fan.”
Kendra’s tweets continued.
“I was 24 when i got married. Now I’m 33.”
That’s publicly available information, but it’s not always easy to admit that you’re anything older than 29.
“I made a lot of mistakes through those young years and im sorry for making u feel the way i did.”
Well, we all know that Kendra can get a little … intense.
“All i ever wanted was family because i never had a solid one.”
Viewers of Kendra on Top are all too aware of what Kendra’s mom is like.
“But me being immature was the reason i couldn’t give u more.”
The day before, Kendra had aired the couple’s difficult communications.
“He’s blaming me for his football career ending. He’s blaming me for cheating on me while I was pregnant.”
Hank allegedly hooked up with a transgender model while Kendra was pregnant with their daughter, Alijah.
This was years ago, and it is difficult to imagine how Kendra could have magically forced him to get an extramarital handie.
“I tried so hard. I did everything by the book and loved and i get s–t on. I’m so sorry for u all to feel awkward [right] now.”
She explains, apologetically, to her followers that she had freaked out when Hank (allegedly) started recording their conversation.
“When i was being recorded i felt threatened.”
In a non-deleted tweet, which is seeming scarcer and scarcer these days, Kendra writes:
“[I] am done tweeting about hank out of respect for my kids.”
People don’t think about this enough (though it’s been mentioned during recent Southern Charm drama), but celebrity children will one day grow up and have unlimited internet access just like everyone else.
A parent having a sex tape or whatever is just garden variety embarrassing. Seeing their parents feud … that’s something else.
“Love will always win and he’s a great guy…”
That sounds vague, like she just wanted to say something nice about Hank.
“We will all be fine after this hurdle is over.”
To be clear, we don’t think that she’s saying that she and Hank will be back together.
“Fine” can take a lot of forms, and so can families.
Kendra, being Kendra, also tweeted something of a very different nature.
“I think i just need some dick.”
That’s not a surprising admission. Kendra has openly described herself as “one horny-ass motherf–ker.“
She had joked (we think) about wearing out the batteries on her personal sex toys (most electronic sex toys come with chargers these days) to explain her need for the real thing.
Some people have very high sex drives and feel like they’re losing their minds when they’re not having sex. Just like how some people cannot handle missing lunch.
Let’s hope that Kendra, um, gets everything that she needs.

Leah Messer: My Sister Is Messing Up Her Life Just Like I Did!
These days, Leah Messer’s life has settled down a bit, but there was a time when she presented Teen Mom 2 viewers with as much weekly drama as Jenelle Evans or Kailyn Lowry.
Leah’s been through so much that it can be tough to recall all of her ups and downs.
But those who recall her earliest years as a reality star and new mom will remember that she experienced more downs than ups.
Viewers have seen Leah struggle with addiction.
They’ve offered words of encouragement on social media, as she’s continued to cope with her daughter Ali’s health issues.
And they’ve rooted for Leah through her two marriages and subsequent divorces.
Through it all, Leah has received support from her loving sister Victoria.
But while Victoria had a front row seat for all of Leah’s troubles, it seems she didn’t learn many lessons about how to avoid a similar fate.
Back in 2015, Victoria welcomed her first child, a girl named Cami.
Just six months later, Victoria filed for divorce from her first husband, Brian Jones.
Clearly not one to waste time, Victoria revealed last week that she’s expecting a second child.
And if you thought the announcements would stop there, you don’t know Victoria:
The 22-year-old revealed on Facebook this week that she’s already remarried — to a man with the hilarious name of Domenick Crapello
We can only hope she decided to hyphenate and is now known as Victoria Messer-Crapello
“I have came along way in my life, filled with negativity and just right down nasty people,” Victoria wrote on Facebook.
“My life changed a little over a year ago when I decided to change my lifestyle and who I had became within myself due to situations I was in. God blessed me with Cami November 16 of 2016.. she was my safe haven, she saved me,” she added.
“I swore I would NOT allow negativity to continue or to continue being settled with my life especially when I knew in my heart my life needed changed for me and for her, for the better. I knew that we had a bright future ahead of us.”
Victoria concluded with a bombshell, writing:
“Little did we know on this day Feb 23 2018 I would be a wife and a momma to 2 beautiful baby girls with another on the way. I am blessed and i love my family more than anything or anyone else.”
Yes, apparently, Victoria has been married since February.
Why she decided to keep the news to herself until now is anyone’s guess.
Naturally, fans have been theorizing that she’s angling to replace Jenelle Evans, who many feel is soon to be fired by MTV.
It’s impossible to say for sure, but it’s not such an outlandish theory.
After all, Victoria has been appearing on TM2 for free for several years now.
And she’s got a lot of mouths to feed these days.

Blac Chyna"s Assistant Dies After Being Taken Off Life Support
A family is in mourning as Patty Hernandez, who was Blac Chyna’s assistant, has passed away after a lengthy health battle.
This is heartbreaking news from those hoping that she would pull through. She is survived by her three children.
Her grieving family is reportedly planning to sue Chyna for wrongful death.
Lorena “Patty” Hernandez suffered a brain hemorrhage back in January at a salon that Blac Chyna owns in Encino.
She was placed on life support. Friends and loved ones have surrounded her, and donations have poured in to her GoFundMe to help with her medical care — and to assist her children.
Unfortunately, it was not enough, as this week’s grim update to her GoFundMe page reveals.
“Hello Everyone it is with a heavy heart that I would like to share that this morning May 14 Patty was pronounced Brain Dead after a 3rd bleed and will have to be disconnected.”
Absolutely heartbreaking. For everyone, but especially for her children.
“We ask you keep our family in prayer during this difficult time.”
Just months ago, there had appeared to be good news — that she was at least able to breathe on her own. But setbacks can happen. This is devastating.
The GoFundMe for Patty Hernandez has raised $ 33,000 out of the $ 50,000 goal.
The text of the page explains Patty’s condition.
“Patty is a loving and dedicated mother of three children (Nathan 13, Raul 12 and Madison 7) and just as loving and dedicated to the rest of her family.”
No health crisis or death is easy to read about, but … it’s always harder when they have children.
“On July of 2017 life changed for Patty, she suffered a stroke that left her partially blind, after several tests, the doctors diagnosed her with a brain AVM ‘Arteriovenous Malformation’ that was present since birth.”
That means that some of her blood vessels aren’t formed properly, and are more prone to bleeding. That’s a problem anywhere, but much worse in the brain.
“A brain AVM is a tangled of abnormal and poorly formed blood vessels (arteries and veins) that have a higher rate of bleeding than normal well-formed vessels.”
And it also made it very difficult to treat.
“Due the location of her AVM, a surgery was not possible and her only option for a treatment was radiation therapy, a therapy that takes 2 years to be effective.”
Meaning that she would have another two years for the damage to continue.
“Yet even radiation therapy does not guarantee her AVM to not rupture causing a head hemorrhage (a bleeding in the brain).”
Cerebral hemorrhages are scary and serious.
“What complicated her condition even more was that Patty was also pregnant. Doctors advised a pregnancy termination, but due to the fact that doctors were not guaranteeing her health, she decided to proceed with the pregnancy.”
That must have been an agonizingly difficult decision. She had three children depending upon her, but that was her choice.
“Despite the complication her AVM produced which included: severe headaches, dizziness, a higher risk pregnancy, and stress rupturing a brain vein.”
Horrifying.
Additionally, Patty could not take medical advice with respect to her job.
“The doctors advised her to not work, but that was not an option for Patty who had her 3 children depending on her for financial security.”
The GoFundMe medical description does not name-drop anyone, but Blac Chyna was her employer.
“On December 18, 2017 Patty suffered a severe head bleed that left her unconscious, and she was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was in the ICU, in whee they preceded to treat her head hemorrhage by draining the blood flooding in her brain.”
Horrible.
“After a CAT scan and a couple of days, Patty was finally stable and doctors advised to terminate her pregnancy, therefore; lowering the chances of another head bleed which would leave her permanently disabled or dead.”
She wanted to be there for her children.
“Patty’s pregnancy was sadly terminated on December 28, 2017.”
Unfortunately, some things cannot be prevented — only delayed.
“On January 11, 2018 she had a seizure which caused her brain to bleed again, this time the bleed was of a stronger magnitude and left Patty in a state of coma.”
In our broken healthcare system, medical debt is the leading cause of personal bankruptcy. And she also has children for whom to care.
“We are asking for your help to cover Patty’s medical expenses and to help her children in this very unfortunate time of need.”
Devastating.
“Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for your donations. In a moment like this, any contribution makes a difference.”
Among the many donations were some large ones, left by celebrities.
Tyga was the first to donate, dropping $ 5,000. Robert Kardashian donated $ 10,000 in two separate installments.
Even Jeffree Star donated $ 10,000.
Patty’s family is reportedly planning to sue Blac Chyna for wrongful death.
There are allegations that Chyna abused her — the specifics of which are unknown — and failed to provide worker’s compensation.
Patty’s family is grieving, and will donate her organs.
Rest in power, Patty.

Hilary Duff Blasts Pot-Smoking Neighbor: Stop Ruining My Life!!
Hilary Duff is coming clean … about her loathing for a certain thoughtless neighbor of hers.
She’s slammed people before, she’s taken to social media to call out this guy, by name. It sounds like he’s kind of ruining her life.
Well, Hilary is prepared to ruin his right back.
Taking to her Instagram stories, Hilary Duff has a lot to say about her neighbor, whom she identifies as Dieter Addison.
“Calling all New Yorkers with a–hole neighbors, really open to any advice you have.”
Here is her complaint.
“My neighbor smokes cigarettes and weed all night long.”
Unlike other health concerns that busybodies might have, smoking things impacts others.
“My apartment reeks.”
You would have to be catastrophically awful at, say, drinking soda or eating doughnuts for that simple activity to impact your neighbors.
Hilary reveals that she is at a loss.
“Seriously, what do I do?”
She calls out Dieter directly, saying:
“We know your parents pay your rent, we know you’ve never worked a day in your life.”
She, on the other hand, has worked since childhood to amass her fortune.
“Must be nice.”
It sure must be.
“Have some respect for your neighbors who work hard to live in that building.”
Even if the guy were a self-made billionaire, it wouldn’t be cool to essentially flood his neighbor’s home with smoke.
“Don’t be a dick, dude. And put your trash down the chute.”
Hilary continues, and explains why she is so irate.
“Slept 0 minutes last night because of Dieter the [eggplant emoji].”
Unlike how she supposes that he lives, she works. Hard.
“Worked 15 hours yesterday and back at work at 5:30am.”
She believes that he is so thoughtless because he does not understand what it is like to have actual responsibilities.
“This is the real world Dieter the [eggplant emoji]”
Note that she’s not including the eggplant emoji to indicate that he has a large penis or anything else of a sexual nature.
She’s just calling him a dick.
She continues to address him, saying:
“Your smoking ain’t delicious.”
It seems clear that, up to a point, she wishes him ill.
“I really hope your hangover hurts.”
Then her accusations take a much more serious turn.
“And another thing … stop breaking all your furniture when you fight with your girlfriend or boyfriend… it scares me and my kid.”
She has a 6-year-old son named Luca. But, to be clear, you don’t need a child to find that kind of thing frightening.
“Therapy is cheaper.”
She concludes it with the advice that many people were probably thinking that he should take.
“Get a vape.”
Vape pens, of course, are much less of an assault upon the noses of people nearby.
(Please do not use them in restaurants, however — this is not The Purge)
Though possession of small amounts of marijuana has been decriminalized in New York, it is a wonder that Hilary has not called the police during one of those fights.
Not just because it would be a convenient way to disrupt his life as he is disrupting hers, but because breaking furniture is alarming and toxic behavior and perhaps the police should be involved.
Maybe this callout post will shame this neighbor into behaving.
But we wouldn’t suggest that Hilary hold her breath. Except, of course, to avoid inhaling the smoke.

Angel Parrish From My 600-lb Life: See Her Insane Transformation!
Not every reality star gets a happy ending, and that is certainly true for those who appear on My 600-lb Life. Sometimes people concern fans with behavior that has nothing to do with their weight.
But sometimes, people really do dramatically transform their bodies. And that is clearly the case for
She is absolutely unrecognizable.
At her largest, Angel Parrish weighed 570 pounds.
Her backstory was heartbreaking, and not simply because of her size.
Angel revealed that she had begun to accumulate weight after having been forced to surrender her baby for adoption at the age of 14.
It seems clear that there is more in her youth than the emotional loss of her adoption that filled her with a deep and lingering sadness.
Like so many, she used food as a coping mechanism. Over time, and combined with genetic and environmental factors, she increased in size.
Fans last saw or heard from Angel Parrish in 2016, but she remained in the thoughts of many.
She had dropped her weight all of the way down to 230 pounds thanks to weight loss surgery.
But she has spent years in silence on social media.
Now, however, she has reappeared in a single photo.
When we say that she is unrecognizable, we are not exaggerating.
Take a look:
This is such a dramatic body transformation.
But we have to remember that, since we last saw her in 2016, Angel has had a lot of time to lose further weight and to adjust to her new figure.
Beyond that, the shock that fans may experience at seeing the photo — a sort of mild mental whiplash — comes from the total radio silence before this.
You don’t always notice weight loss when you see it happening at an imperceptible rate every day or every week.
After two years, the difference is staggering.
We do not, however, know her new weight.
But if we were to guess, it sure seems that her weight is now below 230.
Congratulations are definitely in order.
There is more to dramatic weight loss like this than simply undergoing surgery with Dr. Now.
(Dr. Nowzaradan has a clinic in Houston that is featured on My 600-lb Life)
Weight loss in this manner, when the volume of the stomach is artificially reduced to limit how much food can be consumed at a time, is only part of the equation.
And it is agonizing — the human body excels at storing energy, and people who suddenly begin consuming less food on a daily basis feel as though they are starving.
Even with all of that, regulating what she eats and when she eats it, coupled with exercise, would also be vital for Angel to be a success story.
Judging from the new photo, we would guess that she also had some excess skin surgically removed. That is often necessary for people who have undergone massive weight loss.
Angel’s dramatic reveal may put to shame even Amber Rachdi’s insane transformation.
But it is not a competition, folks. This is about people who choose to change the shape and weight of their bodies getting the opportunity to do so with assistance and guidance and with the support of fans.
Not every story ends happily. Some have health complications from their initial weight or even their sudden weight loss.
Others have underlying problems that may have led to weight gain but continue to plague them even as they transform their bodies.
We are so glad to see that Angel is doing so well.

Kevin Smith: Smoking Weed Saved My Life!
Back in February, Kevin Smith suffered a heart attack that nearly claimed his life.
Fortunately, the beloved filmmaker pulled through, and these days, he"s up and about, and once again meeting the many demands of his still-thriving media empire.
Smith updated fans on his condition throughout his recovery, noting that he rapidly lost 17 pounds after switching to a mostly plant-based diet.
Yes, the man who created such characters as Bluntman & Chronic and who hosts a web series called Fatman on Batman might not seem like the most likely health guru, but Smith has been to the brink and turned things around.
And while he admits that some of his vices led to the slow deterioration of his health, there"s one indulgence that may have literally saved his life.
Smith appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last night, and he shared the tale of receiving some very surprising news from his physician.
It seems Smith was in New York to perform a stand-up set when the attack occurred, and his pre-show herbal relaxation ceremony wound up making the difference between life and death.
"I asked my doctor like after this was all done, I was like, "I hate to ask this question, man, but did I have a heart attack because of the weed? Because I smoked a joint right before the show,"" Smith told the audience.
"No. In fact, quite the opposite," Smith recalled the doctor saying.
"That weed saved your life."
Yes, they"re the words every stoner dreams of hearing.
And we think it"s safe
"He said, you kept calm…they told you [you] were going through stuff and you kept calm the whole time, so that joint saved your life," Smith told said.
"I"m putting that on a T-shirt," the 47-year-old concluded.
We"re guessing that"s one item of merchandise that would prove very popular with Smith"s fans.
