Kim Kardashian Turns 38, Receives ALL the Birthday Wishes

38.

It isn’t the number of times the Kim Kardashian sex tape has been downloaded in the past hour or so.

It’s now the age of the woman after whom this sex tape is named.

On Sunday, October 21, Kim Kardashian celebrated her latest birthday, inching a year closer to the big 4-0 while basking in the adulation of her followers and her family members.

Nearly each of those included in the latter group jumped on social media to send along their best wishes and most heartfelt tributes.

To wit, here’s a message from sister Khloe:

“Happy birthday sweet Kimberly!!!

My entire life you’ve always been someone that I look up to. To me, You are super woman!! I’m not sure how you do it all and make everything look so easy.

“People have no idea how selfless of a human being you are. With no credit wanted either.

“I am so impressed by the woman, wife and mother you have become.”

And Khloe wasn’t done, either!

She gushed and she gushed and she gushed over her older sibling.

“Crazy sh-t happens to us all of the time, but how f-ck lucky are we that we get to experience this crazy thing called life with one another?

“I know for certain, that no matter what happens to any of us, we will always be OK because we have one another. I hope you have the happiest of birthdays Keeks!

“I pray that every wish you have, it comes true. You are so deserving. I love you!! Until the end of time, I love you!!!

Wow, huh?

Kendall Jenner, meanwhile, shared a sneak peek from the tear-jerking video Kanye West made for his wife’s birthday last year, which was filled with footage from Kim’s much younger days.

“Happy birthday to my beautiful sister @kimkardashian,” the 22-year-old model captioned the clip, including with it a rose emoji.

Then there was Kylie Jenner, who shared a clip from the pair’s KKW x Kylie lip kit collection.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIMMY” Kylie wrote alongside the footage. “I LOVE YOU.”

And, last but never ever least, we have Kris Jenner.

The family matriarch and manager posted the following montage of her child and wrote a lengthy caption along with it.

It reads:

“Happy birthday @kimkardashian!!! My beautiful girl, I love and adore you and wish for you the most amazing day and year…you have brought all of us such love, joy, and happiness.

“You are the best mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend and i am beyond blessed to be your Mom.

“I cherish every single memory we share and wish for you all the love you give us every single day…i love you.”

Pretty moving stuff, we’ll be honest.

Go ahead and mock this family as much we you want. Lord know that we do.

But they sure do seem to love each other a lot.

That much cant really be denied.

Fatima Ali: Terminally Ill Top Chef Star Receives Outpouring of Support

If you’re a fan of the acclaimed Bravo cooking competition Top Chef, then you may have already heard the tragic news that beloved former contestant Fatima Ali has been diagnosed with terminal cancer.

Ali revealed her diagnosis Tuesday in a heartbreaking essay published by Bon Appetit.

“My oncologist has told me that I have a year to live, with or without the new chemotherapy regimen,” Ali wrote.

“I was looking forward to being 30, flirty, and thriving. Guess I have to step it up on the flirting. I have no time to lose.”

“I am desperate to overload my senses in the coming months, making reservations at the world’s best restaurants, reaching out to past lovers and friends, and smothering my family, giving them the time that I so selfishly guarded before.”

Displaying the trademark wit that made her a fan favorite during her time on the show, Ali added:

“I was looking forward to being 30, flirty and thriving. Guess I have to step it up on the flirting. I have no time to lose.”

In the hours after Chef Fatima’s article was published, thousands offered words of gratitude and support on social media, including her Top Chef co-stars:

“This is my friend, she is courage, strength and she wrote a piece almost as beautiful as she is, link is in my bio please read and share #teamfati,” wrote Top Chef Season 15 champion Joe Flamm.

“Can’t even begin to say how devastated I am to hear this news, it really hit me hard! No one truly can understand the bond created through @bravotopchef we’ve become a close knit family very quickly,” fellow chef Bruce Kalman wrote.

“I’m so inspired by @cheffati bravery and positive outlook on this situation.

Fatima Ali: Top Chef Offer Support

“The deep connection and love we all have for each other, for better or worse, is unrivaled. Life is too short and it’s time we all appreciated everyone and everything in our lives.”

Just days before she revealed that her illness had reached the terminal stage, Ali posted the above video of her co-stars wishing her well from an event in Connecticut that she had been unable to attend.

We hope Fatima finds comfort in knowing that she will receive such love and support in her final days — and joy in knowing that she’s been an inspiration to so many.

"Jersey Shore" Cast Visits The Situation Day After He Receives Prison Sentence

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s pals from ‘Jersey Shore’ aren’t going to leave him hanging now that he’s been sentenced to hard time. JWoww, Pauly D, Ronnie, Vinnie, Angelina, Deena and Snooki all showed up at Sitch’s apartment in Long Branch, NJ…

Mike Sorrentino Begs Judge For Leniency, Receives Prison Time Anyway

It’s a sad day for Jersey Shore star and reality TV icon Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino.

As we reported earlier, Sorrentino has been sentenced to eight months in prison in connection with a string of legal troubles that began back in 2014.

At that time, Mike and his older brother Marc were indicted for failure to pay taxes on $ 8.9 million in earnings.

Additionally, the brothers were accused of covering up their crimes by filing false tax returns in connection to Mike’s business ventures.

In April of 2017, Mike was hit with additional charges of tax evasion and structuring funds to avoid currency transaction reports.

Under the terms of his plea deal, Sorrentino was only forced to plead guilty to one count of tax evasion, but that proved to be enough to land him behind bars.

Mike’s attorneys argued that he played a minimal role in the financial conspiracy masterminded by his brother (who has already been sentenced to two years in prison).

They also noted that Sorrentino has worked hard to overcome the substance abuse issues that plagued him as a young adult.

Speaking on his own behalf, Sorrentino made a heartfelt plea for leniency that ultimately fell on deaf ears.

“I am deeply sorry. I will forever regret the decisions I made,” he told the court.

“I overcame my demons in 34 months,” Sorrentino added.

“I was in almost a full year of treatment. I lost everything in a short period of time. I was immature. Everything came overnight.”

Sorrentino joked that he “doesn’t even speed anymore” before listing the ways in which he’s served his community over the course of the past three years.

“I have a new team of professionals helping me. I work at two rehabs to share my story,” he said.

“I volunteer at the police department. I warn kids of the dangers of substance abuse. I want to continue to be a positive role model in my community.”

But despite Mike’s obvious remorse, his good works, and the endorsement of his Shore castmates — all of whom were present in the courtroom today — the judge denied Sorrentino’s request for probation and a fine and his only penalties.

In addition to jail time, Mike will be forced to serve 500 hours of community service and pay a $ 10,000 fine within 30 days.

He has already paid $ 123,913 in restitution.

There’s no word yet on when Mike will begin serving his sentence, but it currently looks as though he will not be appearing in the planned third season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

Abby Lee Miller Receives Visits, Comfort From Dance Mom Alums

Abby Lee Miller continues to battle cancer as she recovers from her latest emergency surgery. Life in the hospital is … not fun.

So who better to stop by to cheer her up than some Dance Moms alums?

There were, of course, pictures. Take a look!

Maesi Caes took to Instagram to share a photo from her visit with Abby Lee Miller.

She doesn’t specify why she needed to wear a face mask, but we suspect that it may have been a precaution to keep her from infecting Miller, who is probably immunocompromised.

“HERO,” Maesi writes, defining the word as: “‘An ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles"”

From a certain point of view, Maesi suggests, this definition could apply to her former dance teacher.

“…Miss Abby,” Maesi continues. “Thank you for being my hero.”

Maesi wasn’t the only one who showed up to lend some moral support.

“A very glum afternoon quickly turned BRIGHT,” Elliana Walmsley wrote on Instagram.

“Seeing the BEAUTIFUL @therealabbylee!” her caption continued.

Elliana gushed: “Loved chatting with her about old times, new times, and future times!!!!”

“A visit wouldn’t be complete without getting a private lesson! Feet!” she jokes. “Let’s show Miss Abby SOME LOVE by commenting her fav emojis.”

Abby Lee Miller herself shared an image of her with both girls, who were each wearing face masks.

“I guess it doesn’t matter where I am or what I’m doing,” Miller writes in the caption.

“The kids,” she says. “Always migrate right toward me!”

She then makes a joke.

Miller suggests: “I guess I’m more fun than their moms!”

Back in May, Abby Lee Miller sported a wig while receiving a visit from another Dance Moms alum, JoJo Siwa.

These days, JoJo is busy feuding with Danielle Bregoli. But in May, she made time for a visit.

Keeping to her usual, uber-positive brand, JoJo wrote: “Got to see my favorite today!”

“Abby you have changed my life for forever,” JoJo gushed. “I am so thankful for everything you have done for me.

JoJo wrote that Miller taught her “Table manners, how to survive in a plastic bubble, and more!”

“Thank you for letting us come by and visit you today!” JoJo wrote. “I love you. FOREVER.”

Millerhas also been visited by her godchild, Maddie Pietrusinski.

All of these visits are wonderful.

Is there a risk that Miller could be exposed to some sort of outside germs or infection? Unfortunately, yes.

But it seems that her doctors feel that the brightening of her mood brought on by these visits is worth it.

Abby Lee Miller underwent emergency spinal surgery when she was suddenly experiencing paralysis.

Sadly, it was worse than an infection. Miller was diagnosed with cancer. Specifically, Burkitt lymphoma.

Though reports claimt hat Miller is preparting for the worst, the good news is that the recovery rate for this cancer is high, and that it responds quickly to treatment.

Fans hold out hope that Miller will make a full recovery, and soon.

It looks like she’s expected to make it just fine — because Dance Moms is holding auditions for its next season, and Miller herself is set to star.

Dani Vitale: Demi Lovato"s BFF Receives Death Threats From Angry Fans

It’s been three days since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed her life.

Friends, family, and fans of the singer are still reeling from the news, and unfortunately, some have chosen to lash out in destructive ways.

Earlier this week, Lovato’s guitarist, Mike Manning, blamed her friends for the overdose and threatened to “expose them” as addicts.

To be clear, it’s understandable to feel a confusing mix of emotions at a time like this, but unless it turns out those friends held her down and stuck a needle in her arm, it is 100 percent not okay to blame or shame Demi’s fellow users.

If this situation has taught us anything, it’s that addiction doesn’t discriminate, and the addict begging for change on the street deserves to be treated with the same dignity as a multi-platinum recording artist.

Manning hasn’t launched his horrendously ill-conceived campaign yet, but the misdirected outrage from fans who are desperate for someone to blame has already begun, and predictably, it’s made an awful situation considerably worse.

In the hours before her hospitalization, Demi was spotted doing shots at an LA bar.

Sources say she and several friends were celebrating the birthday of Dani Vitale, Demi’s longtime friend and backup dancer.

Little is known about what took place in the hours after the group left the bar, but since Demi was last seen celebrating Dani’s birthday, several foolish fans have decided to exacerbate whatever guilt of grief she might already be feeling by harassing Vitale online.

Insiders claim Vitale has been receiving non-stop hate messages and death threats.

This, despite the fact that she Dani is a teetotaler who has reportedly been a much-needed source of strength for Demi in the dark days following her overdose.

“Dani spent the whole day at the hospital with her,” a source close to Vitale told Radar. “Dani and Demi have known each other for a long time, and are very close.

“She’s very upset about it,” the insider added.

“She is very straight; she doesn’t do drugs.”

Despite the fact that Dani has apparently devoted herself to ensuring that Demi receives the best care and treatment possible, hundreds of fans (many of them tagging the vigilante Manning, of course) have spent their weeks hurling non-stop vitriol at Vitale.

“Fake friend…. f-ck you bitch is toxic,” one such psycho wrote today.

“I’m about to beat this bitch up,” reads another comment on Vitale’s Instagram page.

“Ima brake ur legs if i see you,” a third Demi obsessive commented.

Guys, we don’t know Demi personally, so we hate to speak on her behalf, but we’re pretty sure she’d agree that there are better ways to spend your time and express your concerns than issuing physical threats to her best friend.

Just sayin’.

Maci Bookout Struggles on Naked and Afraid, Receives Major Support From Fans

Teen Mom OG fans spent several months anticipating Maci Bookout"s appearance on Naked and Afraid.

And we think it"s safe to say they didn"t quite get what they were hoping for.

Maci"s wilderness adventure was a short one, as the mother of three struggled mightily during her time in Nicaragua.

Some viewers stated that they had hoped to see more of Ms. Bookout, but most applauded her courage in taking on such a challenge.

And as a bonus, her happy-go-lucky partner definitely earned some new fans!

1. Maci Bookout: Both Naked and Afraid

Maci spent the past week hyping her appearance on the show, and she was clearly excited to share the experience with fans.

2. TV’s Toughest Show

No show on television tests the limits of human endurance quite like Naked and Afraid, and very few contestants last the full 21 days. So Maci certainly isn’t alone in not completing the challenge.

3. Badass Attitude

In her intro video, Maci referred to herself as a badass, a word that’s often used by TMOG fans when describing the tough-as-nails mother of three.

4. Firestarter

She described her preparations for the show, revealing that she spent a lot of time working on starting fires without the aid of matches or a lighter. At first, it seemed that all that hard work paid off.

5. Early Success

Maci and her partner — an ICU nurse named Justin — managed to build a fire on their first day in the wilderness — a rare accomplishment on Naked and Afraid.

6. No Match For Nicaragua

Unfortunately, that would prove to be Maci’s final triumph in the jungles of Nicaragua.

Tori Roloff Turns 27, Receives ALL the Birthday Wishes

Tori Roloff is typically a very content and positive person.

The Little People, Big World star, in fact, recently vowed on Instagram that she will continue to keep her account full of happiness and light.

So it’s not as though Tori needs a reason to smile.

She’s pretty much always walking around with a smile on her face.

Today, however, Tori has an extra special reason to show off her pearly whites: She’s 27 years old!

The reality star celebrated her birthday on Thursday and then took to Instagram a day later to thank Zach for treating her to a big day, along with fans for their best wishes.

“Man. Y’all really know how to make a girl feel loved on her birthday!” wrote Tori as a caption to the photo above.

She added:

“Thank you SO much for the sweet notes and wishes. I spent the day with my boys. Had lunch with my parents. Had dinner with my favorite date. And spent the rest of my night by the campfire where Jackson stayed up wayyyyyy last his bedtime.

“Thank you so much for making me feel so loved today! #zandtpartyofthree #storyofzachandtori #27isgonnabeagoodone.”

Elsewhere, Audrey Roloff posted this second picture and included with it her own tribute to her sister-in-law.

“Tori is such a giver,” wrote Tori, continuing to gush over her loved one:

“She puts everyone else’s needs before her own. She’s always thinking of ways to make others feel known and loved.

“I feel so grateful to have her as a sister in law, and that we get to figure out this motherhood thing in tandem.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY @toriroloff you make everyone you encounter feel celebrated so I hope you feel extra loved and celebrated today! YOU DA BOMB! #alwaysmore @shopalwaysmore.”

Family members weren’t done sending great thoughts Tori’s way, either.

Take it away, Amy!

“You put a smile on everyone’s face just by being wonderful You!,” wrote the Roloff matriarch as a caption to this third picture listed, concluding:

“Happy Happy Birthday Tori. I hope you have an awesome day celebrating You. Lots of hugs and love to you my DIL Love.”

Tori Roloff really does seem like a genuinely nice person.

She’s spent the past 11-plus months embracing parenthood, recently writing of her son Jackson:

I can not believe this little man is going to -1- in less than two weeks.

I have been so emotional about it lately. I’ve been gearing up for his first birthday and just reminiscing on this past year and the insurmountable joy this kid has brought to our family.

I now know what all those moms were saying when they said “it flys by.”

This year has done just that. I love you so much baby j and I can’t wait to celebrate YOU in two weeks!

Might a second child be on the way for Tori and Zach?

That’s the ongoing rumor.

If the chatter is true, we wish her the best.

And even if it’s not, we still wish her the best!

Happy birthday, you awesome lady!

Chip Gaines Receives Special Help to Confirm Baby Gender

Chip Gaines and Joanna Gaines are having a baby.

This is not news.

Heck, Joanna recently showed off her growing belly in a tight black dress, making it clear she isn’t keeping this pregnancy a secret of any kind.

But what kind of baby are Chip and Joanna having?

A boy or a girl?

This is a question that has not been answered…until now!

The Fixer Upper co-host took to Twitter this morning and shared a video that confirmed the gender of his impending child.

It’s unclear if this was really how Chip planned on making the announcement to his many followers, but make it he and his new friend surely did.

“Alright, alright … if we’re going to announce the gender of our #5th child. It might as well come from my new friend #Gage! Take it away my man. @tebowfoundation,” Chip wrote.

He then shared a video of his interaction with a little boy who Gaines met at the Tim Tebow Foundation’s golf weekend.

Kneeling aside a young boy with special needs, Chip smiles throughout the footage and says to Gage:

“We’re just about to have another little baby, because Uncle Chip lost his mind…

“I can’t think of a ‘D’ name. Can you help me think of a ‘D’ name?”

Chip then reveals that the D name is for a boy.

“Is that a secret? I don’t know, that might not even be allowed on Twitter. It’s a little boy and I need a ‘D’ name and so far, all I could come up with was Dragon, and she’s like, ’You are not calling that baby Dragon!’

“Can you help me?”

It’s VERY cute.

Check out the footage below:

Chip Gaines Announces Baby Gender

Joanna and Chip are best known for having co-hosted five seasons of Fixer Upper on HGTV.

But they have also penned books, released clothing lines and just recently opened a restaurant in Texas.

They are already parents to Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7.

But what’s one more child, right?!?

In alerting the universe to Joanna’s expecting state, Chip shared a photo of her belly and his pretend baby bump and then explained how this pregnancy happened, LOL:

“You might recall a few months back.. the ever amazing, ever romantic @JOHNNYSWIM was in Waco. And they put on a little too romantic of a concert.. anyways, one thing led to another, & we are officially pregnant.

“And I could not be more EXCITED! #5 #7ThePerfectNumber.”

As you can see below, fans of the reality stars are pretty excited over this development as well:

Fixer Upper’s final season is currently airing on HGTV Tuesdays at 9/8c.

We don’t know yet if Joanna gave Chip her blessing to reveal her baby’s gender in this manner…

… but who could be mad at the guy after a video such as this?

Kevin Smith Suffers "Massive Heart Attack," Receives Support From Fans

Scary news from one of Hollywood’s most beloved filmmakers.

Kevin Smith revealed to fans last night that he’s been hospitalized after suffering a near-fatal heart attack.

“After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack,” Smith tweeted, along with the image above.

“The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground!”

Smith was filming a standup comedy special at Alex Theatre in Glendale, California the night of the incident.

His cardiac event apparently took place sometime between the 6 pm and 9 pm shows.

Sources say Smith “felt ill” following his early show and was taken to a nearby hospital.

Smith got his start in the industry with the influential, self-financed cult comedy Clerks in 1994.

He’s worked non-stop in the decades since, most recently helming the feature Yoga Hosers and an episode of the CW series The Flash.

A new season of Smith’s reality series, Comic Book Men, premiered on AMC last night.

Back in 2015, Smith lost 85 pounds and stated that he believed he was in the best shape of his life.

News of Smith’s heart attack quickly made him a trending topic on Twitter, where fans and a legion of famous friends pid tribute:

“Kevin we don’t know each other too good but I have loved you since Clerks and I’m praying my ass off for you cause I believe in the healing power of prayer. Can you please pray with me people!?” tweeted Chris Pratt.

“Fans of Kevin Smith please take comfort he is in a good hospital with great doctors but if he needs 2nd or 3rd opinions from the worlds finest cardiologists we’ve got him covered too,” wrote Tom Arnold.

Sources close to Smith say that the filmmaker is resting comfortably and eager to begin the long recovery process.

Our thoughts go out to Smith and his family during this difficult time.

Stassi Schroeder Wears "Nazi Chic" Ensemble, Receives ALL the Hate

There are certain words in the English language that should never go together:

Donald Trump and genius. Justin Bieber and humble. Ryan Gosling and ugly.

Stassi Schroeder has managed to come up with a pair that we never would have thought of, let alone used as a description on social media to describe an outfit we were wearing…

… Nazi chic.

The Vanderpump Rules star stepped into some scalding hot water on Saturday when she shared a photo on Snapchat of herself and friends Rachel O’Brien and Kristen Doute, presumably prior to hitting the town.

Describing the ensemble O’Brien is wearing, Schroeder wrote that it was “criminal chic.”

Sort of an odd phrasing, but broad and vague enough to not be offensive.

Doute, Schroeder added, was going with a “Tupac chic” look.

This was likely a reference to the bandana atop her head and it was only mildly offensive because Tupac was murdered, yes, but there nothing really insulting about what Stassi wrote.

As for herself?

As you can see below, Schroeder joked that her fashion choice was “Nazi chic.”

For starters, we have no idea what this even means.

Is the Bravo personality quipping that Hitler and his underlings rocked similar style hats back in the 1930s and 1940s when they were working to wipe out Jewish people from the planet?

Is this a reference to the initials “SS” on her purse, which stand for her name – but which were also the shorthand for “Schutzstaffel,” the foremost agency of security, surveillance and terror within Germany and German-occupied Europe?

It’s not entirely clear.

But was is clear, based on the negative reaction Schroeder has received online, is that perhaps one should not joke about Nazis, especially not in relation to them being “chic.”

Wrote one disgusted Internet user, addressing Bravo executive Andy Cohen:

“@Andy nothing but class from Stassi. I hope someone at your network is smart enough to fire her before you lose viewers.”

Added another critic of the description:

“@LisaVanderpump you may want to rethink employment opportunities for Stassi. Guess joking ab[o]ut the SS is hilarious in LA?”

Clearly aware of the backlash, Schroeder eventually deleted the picture and reposted it with a new caption that detailed her as “#Elsa-Indiana Jones Chic,” referring to the Austrian archaeologist portrayed by Alison Doody in 1989’s Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

She called the new caption an “appropriate redo.”

But was she really sorry? 

Does she really understand why so many people were offended by the initial photo?

It doesn’t appear that way, based on the following meme that she shared last night on Twitter:

Schroeder is basically saying here that people are way too sensitive these days.

Late last year, meanwhile, she also came under fire for making fun of the #MeToo movement.

In response to Matt Lauer, Kevin Spacey and MANY others being called out for their heinous actions, the Vanderpump Rules cast member wondered if there was a “witch hunt” against men going on in Hollywood.

On her podcast, she said no one could “make me suck a dick,” implying the victims in these cases were weak and not really victims, prior to walking back her stance as best she could.

“My podcast is an outlet for me to share my unfiltered opinion with my listeners,” she Tweeted in the wake of this scandal, adding at the time:

“But on my latest episode I crossed a line. It was irresponsible for me to make generalized statements about a very serious topic, such as sexual harassment, as it is not my place to speak about anyone else’s experiences.

“I apologize. I will continue to speak my mind on my podcast, but will put more thought behind my dialogue moving forward.”
