Liza Koshy and David Dobrik Break Up, Shed All the Tears
They rose to fame on YouTube.
They expressed their love and affection for each other on YouTube.
So it"s only appropriate that Liza Koshy and David Dobrik have now broken up on YouTube as well.
In a six-minute video that featured a few attempts at humor and a great number of tears being shed, the Internet stars talked openly about the end of their romance.
(Which actually took place six months ago, but which they only chose to share with their fans now.)
Based on the footage below, it sounds as if Koshy is the one who chose to split from Dobrik, as she acknowledged she"s been going through a "rough" patch in life.
“Liza broke up with me because she felt like we’ve been distant because we’ve been so busy,” Dobrik said, adding;
“As much as I hate to admit it, I was feeling it on my side too, but I just don’t have the balls to pull the trigger on that.”
Koshy rose to prominence online by posting comedy videos on Vine in 2013, prior to going on to become a huge YouTube star on her two YouTube channels, as well as a television presenter and actor.
Dobrik, meanwhile, took a similar path to fame via Vine and YouTube, where he also has two channels.
Between the two of them, Koshy and Dobrik have more than 20 million followers. Yes… 20 MILLION!
They started dating back in 2015.
Together as a couple, Liza and David let fans in on their funny adventures comedic bits/skits, helping Web users feel as if they really knew the pair well.
Hence the viral sadness that has accompanied this split.
"This is going to sound so lame but I really want to spread love but I have to have it first," Koshy says at one point.
"It’s like saying you’re going to spread mayonnaise when you only have mustard."
For the duration of the video, the stars tried to keep things light, but they kept breaking down once reality set in.
“All jokes aside,” Dobrik said. "We are broken up.”
And followers are NOT taking it well. To wit:
So go grab yourself a box of Kleenezx and click PLAY on the video below.
It will be sad, but worthwhile.

Liza Morales Praises Lamar Odom, Burns Khloe Kardashian
Khloe Kardashian may have played a vital role in saving Lamar Odom’s life, but there’s still not a lot of love lost when it comes to his ex.
The reality star’s ex-wife, and his previous ex, Liza Morales, have been at odds in the past, and it looks like emotions are running high again.
Following Odom’s return to rehab last week, she posted a message on Instagram following the former NBA star’s decision to get help.
The 37-year-old, who shares two kids with Odom (and had a third who died, which we’ll get to shortly), made a statement in the post:
“Instead of directly responding to each of the media outlets that have sent emails and dm’s,” Liza Morales began.
“Let me express how proud we are of Lamar for taking the necessary steps in his life’s journey.”
“This is a private situation that has become public for observation, speculation and judgement.”
“This may be media fodder for some, but Lamar is a father, kin and a friend.”
“Anyone that has dealt with (or is still dealing) with the same situation with a loved one or friend knows it’s one day at a time.”
“In the meantime, Destiny, Lamar Jr and I send light and positivity to their dad and hope you can do the same.”
Morales’ supportive message could be interpreted as a dig at Khloe Kardashian, even though she nursed him back to health last year.
Khloe, some fans believe, led Lamar to believe they would get re-married, then dropped a bombshell by re-filing for divorce in May.
Morales, meanwhile, flies under the radar, but has continued to be a part of Odom’s life and include Lamar in more family events.
All while Khloe gets hot and heavy with Tristan Thompson, and flaunts it online. That’s just one interpretation, but it’s not entirely invalid.
Moreover, Kardashian revealed just days ago that her entire famous family updated its wills so that she would be their medical adviser.
“This is kind of dark, but after that, my whole family changed all of their wills so that I could be their medical adviser,” she told Health.
“Because you don’t know how someone reacts until you’re put in that situation,” Khloe said, patting herself on the back a bit perhaps.
Odom, to be fair, was not a good husband to Khloe; Kardashian, to be fair, went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to his care.
Still, Morales’ passive-aggressive dig is likely rooted in animosity over how Khloe handled things publicly over the course of the ordeal.
As for why Lamar is in rehab, Liza is connected to that too.
Earlier this month marked the ten-year anniversary of the death of the couple’s baby son, Jayden, who passed away from SIDS in 2006.
The couple’s daughter Destiny was born in 1998, Lamar Jr. was born in 2002, and Jayden four years after that, but he died within months.
At the time, sources explained that Odom’s decision to get help was “his own decision” and preemeptive “work on his mental and physical health.
Good as that sounds as a PR line, it’s rarely that simple.
Sources close to Odom have suggested that the little one’s death was one of the reasons he started doing hard drugs in the first place.
Those same sources also claim that compounding this issue is the fact that Lamar is having a hard time dealing with the end of his marriage.
To Khloe, which was finalized at long last this fall.
With all of these factors building up and coinciding with the holidays, it’s a shocking amount to place on one man’s shoulders.
Especially one with a long history with addiction.
In any case, we do send best wishes to Lamar, and commend him for deciding to get help, which is never an easy decision to make.

David Gest Dies; Ex-Husband of Liza Minnelli Was 62
David Gest – the television producer and reality star best known for his tumultuous marriage to Liza Minnelli – has passed away at the age of 62.
Gest’s body was found at a Four Seasons hotel this morning.
The cause of death is not known, and TMZ is reporting that an autopsy has been scheduled by law enforcement officials.
Born in Los Angeles in 1953, Gest grew up surrounded by celebrities and counted Michael Jackson and his brothers among his closest childhood friends.
He produced the television tribute Michael Jackson: 30th Anniversary Celebration in 2001.
In recent years he appeared on such UK reality shows as I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother.
He was forced to leave the latter series after just 13 days due to medical problems.
That was in January of this year, and it’s believed that Gest’s death was related to those issues.
But despite his long career in television Gest will always be best-known to Americans for his brief marriage to entertainment icon Liza Minnelli.
The relationship ended in very ugly fashion, with Gest telling a judge that Minnelli was usually drunk and frequently abusive.
“Police were called at 10:17 on Tuesday to the Four Seasons Hotel, to reports of an unexplained death of a man in his 60s. London ambulance service were called to the scene,” reads a statement about Gest released by London police moments ago.
They added that no foul play is suspected.

Liza Minelli Reportedly Near Death Following Relapse
Hollywood legend Liza Minelli has spent much of her life waging a highly-publicized battle with addiction.
Now, friends and family fear that the 70-year-old star may have accepted defeat.
According to Radar Online, Minelli’s behavior has been causing concern amongst those in her inner circle in recent weeks.
Sources say the actress and singer recently sold the Manhattan apartment where she resided for the past decade in order to move into a Los Angeles rental property with a staff of newly-hired assistants.
Those closest to her reportedly fear that the recently-rehabbed star has been indulging her vices and doesn’t plan to live much longer.
Of particular concern is a message that Minelli recorded for fans last month that has the tone of a sad farewell:
“I wouldn’t be who I am without you, any of you, and on top of that, I just remember all of the goodness and all of the kind wishes and the support and the friendship,” Minelli said.
“Thank you very, very much. I’ll never ever forget you.”
“It was chilling listening to it,” said one friend.
“Liza sounded like she was saying farewell. It was just heartbreaking. People have to be worried. You just have to wonder if she has three months left.”
In addition to her struggles with drugs and alcohol, Minelli has dealt with a number of serious health issues in recent years, including a near-fatal battle with double pneumonia and a number of broken bones from slips and falls.

Liza Morales Mourns Death of Son with Lamar Odom
Liza Morales took to Twitter on Tuesday for the most tragic of reasons.
Lamar Odom’s ex-girlfriend wrote a special social media message in honor of Jayden, the son she had with Lamar who would have turned 10 years old yesterday.
“Happy 10th Birthday to our Guardian Angel, our beloved son, Jayden,” Morales penned alongside a graphic of colorful balloons floating in the air.
She added the hashtag “#BirthdayInHeaven” to her post.
Odom and Morales were in a romantic relationship for over a decade.
They currently share two kids, Destiny and Lamar Jr., as Jayden, passed away in 2006 at just six months old as a result of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
It’s just one of many tragedies Odom has endured throughout his life, as noted below:
In October, Morales and the children flew out to Las Vegas to be with Odom after he fell unconscious and was placed in critical condition.
She has feuded with Khloe Kardashian at times over the years, most recently taking shots at Khloe for abandoning her family when thinks got difficult.
There was also talk that Morales and Kardashian clashed a couple months ago over Odom’s life insurance policy.
But all that matters at the moment is the unspeakable pain Morales must be in, having lost a child.
“I had to depend on my spirituality . . . Lamar turned to work,” Morales said in 2012 of how each handled the tragy.
“He had his music he was working on, a clothing company and an artist he was working with – that’s how he dealt. I was alone during that time, but at least I had my family and friends.
“The loss never leaves you, but it does get better. We have pictures of Jayden around the house and the kids and I talk about him all the time.
“We are in a place of peace and acceptance.”

Khloe Kardashian and Liza Morales: Still Battling Over Lamar Odom?
Khloe Kardashian and Liza Morales, Lamar Odom’s wife and the mother of his kids, respectively, are reportedly engaged in an ongoing feud.
Their issues revolve around his medical care, in part, but it also runs deeper. Sources say the women are locking horns over their place in his life.
While eyebrows were raised last week when Liza Morales called out Khloe on Twitter, it’s not immediately clear what goes on behind closed doors.
Morales and her two children by Odom, Destiny, 15, and Lamar Jr., 13, spent Thursday at the hospital, while Khloe visited Friday, after they departed.
According to an insider close to the situation:
“Liza and the kids arrived last week, and remained in Los Angeles until Saturday. They spent Thanksgiving Day with Lamar in the hospital.”
“The hospital served a special Thanksgiving dinner. While it obviously wasn’t a home-cooked meal, [they] made the best of a bad situation.”
“Lamar seemed a little down though.”
“The kids were there the entire afternoon. Even though Khloe said she would be having a hospital Thanksgiving, she didn’t visit until the next day.”
“Liza and Khloe didn’t cross paths as the reality star only visited for 45 minutes on Friday,” the source adds, perhaps alluding to Liza’s beef.
Morales and Kardashian’s ongoing feud has intensified since Odom’s overdose in October, and in recent weeks thanks to Khloe’s actions.
First, there was talk that Khloe was keeping Odom’s kids away and restricting access to the ailing NBA star as he recovers in the hospital.
Then, while Kardashian had initially been by Odom’s side, she soon got back together with boyfriend James Harden, confusing observers.
Morales, 36, then ripped people “that turned their backs, and prioritized business relationships” over Odom in a Twitter diatribe last week.
“You see, it’s not about who was there cheering in the stands at basketball games,” she wrote, passive-aggressively. “No, this is real life.”
It is, and it could get uglier fast.

Liza Morales: Pissed at Khloe Kardashian! Taking Passive-Aggressive Shots on Twitter!
Lamar Odom’s baby mama Liza Morales said she is thankful for the support the ailing star has received a Twitter post over Thanksgiving weekend.
While that sounds grateful and innocent, many are interpreting the word choice and tone as a salvo aimed at Lamar’s spouse, Khloe Kardashian.
As Odom continues to recover from his near-fatal drug overdose in October, Morales, 36, says she has reached the “Mt. Everest” of her gratefulness.
Then she proceeds to fire seriously passive-aggressive shots at those, she says, who had abandoned their family when times got tough:
“I can’t forget to thank the people that knew my children since toddler age, that turned their backs, and prioritized business relationships.”
“You see,” Liza says of her former partner, “it’s not about who was there cheering in the stands at basketball games. No, this is real life.”
“What matters,” Morales continues, in what many feel is a jab at Khloe, “is who was with you when you were at your lowest. Thankful.”
Morales and Kardashian have had an extremely rocky relationship, especially since Odom overdosed in a Nevada brothel last month.
While Kardashian had initially been by Odom’s side when he was hospitalized, and called off their divorce, their reconciliation was brief.
If there was even any reconciliation at all. Soon enough, she was back with James Harden, her NBA star beau, to the surprise of many.
“You can’t be with Harden and still be married fam, gotta choose one,” one fan of Morales responded to her post, while another said:
“For better or worse, in sickness and in health, till death do them part … I’m with you, she needs to pick one or the other.”
Khloe telling off her critics on social media, which seems to be a regular occurrence these days, only upset Liza further, sources say.
“Liza takes issue with Khloe lashing out at fans on Twitter, shaming Lamar,” an insider told Radar following Kardashian’s latest rant.
When Kardashian was advised not to visit Odom due to the staph infection she’d contracted, Morales actually breathed a sigh of relief.
“Khloe had made the kids’ previous visits uncomfortable because she refused to leave the room,” one source close to Morales said.
With her gone, Morales and her two kids planned a day of quality time with Odom: “There was no other place they would want to be.”
Lamar and Liza are parents to Destiny and Lamar Jr. Their third child, Jayden, tragically passed away from SIDS nearly a decade ago.

Khloe Kardashian, Liza Morales: Fighting Over Lamar Odom"s $10 Million Life Insurance Policy?
It’s been almost three days since Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada.
It was reported yesterday that doctors have declared Odom brain dead, and despite showing occasional signs of life, they continue to believe that he has little chance of emerging from his coma.
Shortly after he was hospitalized, it was revealed that Odom is still married to Khloe Kardashian, despite the fact that they’ve been estranged for over two years.
This means that Khloe may soon be in the position of making difficult medical legal decisions on Lamar’s behalf.
Radar Online reports that Khloe is the beneficiary of Lamar’s $ 10 million life insurance policy. She will also receive a large portion of his estate which at one point was valued at $ 100 million.
(That number is probably significantly diminished now, as Lamar has not received any substantial income in nearly two years.)
“Khloe was to receive a majority of that,” says one insider. “His kids were of course included in the will, but it’s understood they were to only receive a small portion compared to Khloe.”
The terms of Odom’s will put Khloe in a strange predicament, as she’s worth far more than he is, and Odom has two children to support.
The children’s mother, Liza Morales, is reportedly already mounting a legal offensive in order to secure as much of Odom’s estate for herself and her children as she can.
Khloe certainly doesn’t need the money, but she and Morales are not exactly close friends (It’s been widely reported that Odom cheated with Morales while before he and Khloe were separated.), so she may not be too keen on the idea of giving the woman a 9-figure gift.
Many expect that Khloe will give Liza a sizable enough chunk of Lamar’s estate to effectively make her go away. But if Liza wants the whole thing, Khloe might have an ugly legal battle ahead of her.
