Khloe Kardashian: Shaded by Tristan Thompson"s OTHER Baby Mama!

Khloe Kardashian had her baby shower, and it was an opulent and very pink celebration.


Everyone is happy for Khloe and Tristan … except, perhaps, for Tristan’s ex and other baby mama, Jordan Craig.


She took to social media to throw shade at the otherwise joyous occasion.



Kim Kardashian is very pregnant with Tristan Thompson’s baby.


That’s so wonderful for both of them.


But … does anybody remember how the two of them first met?


Tristan and Khloe met at Kevin Hart’s wedding to Eniko Parrish. You know, the latest wife on whom Hart has cheated.


At the time, Tristan was with Jordan Craig … who also gave birth to his son, Prince Oliver.


And yet … look at what Jordan was posting on social media.






That caption reads:


“Less Bitter, More Glitter.”


After that catchy little rhyme, there’s:


“Positivity always wins. Remember that.”


The message is nice, but it’s the timing of the photo itself — posted the day after Khloe Kardashian’s baby shower — that drives home the meaning.


See, this isn’t the first time that Jordan’s thrown shade at Khloe and Tristan’s relationship through vague social media posts.



The day after news of Khloe’s pregnancy broke, Jordan posted the first-ever photo of Prince Oliver to the internet.


It is almost impossible to dismiss the timing of that as a coincidence.


It is widely believed that Jordan was reminding everyone that Tristan already has a child and that she is and will always be his baby mama.


Some wonder if Khloe’s palpable disappointment when she learned that she’s expecting a girl was in part because she knew that Tristan already had a son with Jordan.


Regardless, it looks like Jordan’s photo was designed to imply that she’s better off and also a better person for holding back what she’d like to say to Khloe and Tristan.



As for Khloe’s baby shower, RadarOnline has a description of the event, which took place at the Bel Air hotel.


“They went all out for the shower with no expense spared and it’s turned out to be stunning and gorgeous.”


Kris, Kendall, Kylie, Kim, and Kourtney were all in attendance.


“The shower is very pink with thousands of pink flowers everywhere including hundreds of stems hanging from the ceiling that create an amazing first impression as guests walk in.”


That sounds very opulent and very, very Kardashian.


(Also just … incredibly pink. Did you know that pink was associated with boys until about 100 years ago? The color-gender association is never not weird)



Normally, we might get a nice chuckle out of a jilted ex throwing shade at a Kardashian.


But in this case, it’s just … sad.


Not just sad for Jordan, because she’s bitter at Tristan and perhaps even at Khloe for their shared happiness.


No, sad for Prince Oliver. And sad for Khloe’s unborn daughter. Those are half-siblings who may have a strained relationship that won’t be of their own making.


Why? Because apparently Jordan Craig, despite her words, is still bitter enough that she wants her followers to know how very “not bitter” and “over it” she is.


Is it too much to hope that they might all bury the hatchet for the sake of the children?


… Probably.

Dean Unglert: SHADED by Rachel Lindsay Over Bachelor in Paradise Breakup!

Dean Unglert went from everyone’s blue eyed dream to making a lot of people upset on Bachelor in Paradise. Why? Well … love triangle shenanigans, basically.


Those shenanigans came to an end on Monday night’s episode with a breakup that didn’t really make anybody happy.


Among the people who responded were Rachel Lindsay, Dean’s own ex, who tweeted some serious shade in his direction.



Remember when Dean Unglert said that he made an ass of himself in Paradise?


Well … he’s as good as his word.


Until this week’s episode, Dean had been juggling both Danielle Lombard and Kristina Schulman


And yeah, we get it — Bachelor in Paradise is all about figuring out who, if anyone, is right for you.


Dating the first person you see might not be the best plan.


There’s also an argument to be made that people aren’t necessarily well-suited for monogamy, but we’ll get to that in a moment.


Because, though Kristina came across as sympathetic and she and Dean seemed to have a real connection (while Dean also hooked up with Danielle and Danielle didn’t restrict herself exclusively to Dean, either), Dean ended up choosing Danielle.


A lot of fans were crushed.


Some of them were rooting for Dean and Kristina.


A lot of them were rooting for Kristina to find happiness.


Others were just rooting for Dean to stay the endearing, precious boy they’d seen on The Bachelorette.


So there was a lot of disappointment. All around.



As we mentioned, Rachel Lindsay — who competed alongside Kristina Schulman for Nick Viall’s hand on The Bachelor before becoming the Bachelorette and finding love … or whatever … with Bryan Abasolo, threw some shade at Dean over the whole affair.


She tweeted this:


“Never settle @kristinaschulma ….love you girl.”


She followed that up with a kissing emoji.


You may notice that she doesn’t mention Dean by name.


But her “never settle” message is a reminder that they now have two exes in common, and a diss against Dean.


Rachel is implying that Dean isn’t worthy of Kristina, and that Kristina — like Rachel — could do better.


Maybe so.


It may have also occurred to you that Rachel Lindsay has a whole lot of nerve tweeting anything at anybody about breaking up with the wrong person.


She’s kind of an expert on the subject, but that’s not the same as being an authority on which breakups are smart or not.


Sorry if we’re not going to take romantic advice from the woman who chose a guy who says whatever she wants to hear and left Peter Kraus a sobbing mess.


For his part, Dean Unglert posted this to Instagram:



His heartbreaking caption?


“You were out of my league.”


A friend of mine DMed this post to me as soon as she saw it to make sure that I had seen it, because there are a lot of feels to be had.


Honestly, we think that Kristina and Dean just got swept up in it all.


Dean, in particular, was basically on the rebound after making it almost to the very end of The Bachelorette.


Like, Rachel Lindsay met his dad. He wasn’t just on for a few episodes to get his name out there.


As we mentioned, monogamy isn’t right for everyone.


For some people, it’s the only way for them to have a relationship.


For others, it’s unnatural and monogamy culture — and especially the idea that there’s exactly one person out there who’s right for you — is horrifying.


There are a lot of successful polyamorous relationships, and with social acceptance, that is growing.


We’d love to see a Bachelor series with an emphasis on polyamory, but we’re sure that it will take years before enough viewers are open-minded enough to tune in.


On such a show, maybe this love triangle wouldn’t have been so devastating. Maybe it would have just been, you know, a normal triad.


If that would work for all three of them, anyway.


Not everybody’s cut out to be polyamorous.



We think that, within the Bachelor Nation, Dean can get past this.


Dean is, after all, a young guy who’s openly admitted that he has more maturing to do.


And that was before he went on Bachelor in Paradise.


Dean is not going to be the next Bachelor, but we’d love to see him on the next season of Bachelor in Paradise.


And maybe, in a couple of years, after he’s had his “redemption arc” on camera, he could make an amazing — and still quite young — leading man.


And, for what it’s worth, we wish Kristina Schulman the best.

Kris Jenner Totally SHADED by... Staples?!

Poor Kris Jenner.


The momager that brought her self-absorbed family into our news feeds on an annoyingly daily basis has received much hate over the years.



Earlier this year, Kris was booed onstage while introducing Culture Club at a concert in LA.


And now, she’s getting shade thrown at her by an unlikely foe: Staples.


No, it’s not the quirky moniker of some new indie artist, we’re talking about the office supply store.


To promote a new necklace from her jewelry line (yes, she has one – surprise!), Kris tweeted a pic of herself wearing the piece (above).


“My new ‘Elegance’ necklace is available now, exclusively online!” she wrote.


Staples Canada took note of the uncanny resemblance the “links” on the necklace bear to paper clips and took it as an opportunity for promotion (and snark).


“Also available in aisle 7…. #ThinkStaples,” they tweeted along with Kris’s pic.


The post has been retweeted more than 45,000 times.


The store may be promoting a new DIY jewelry initiative that would cost consumers far less than Kris’s bling.


The “Elegance” necklace runs for $ 175.


By comparison, a 1,000-count pack of paper clips will set you back just $ 5.29.


Easy peasy, right?


Kris may need to rely on new methods to make money now that Keeping Up With the Kardashians has seen a ratings dip and seems headed for obscurity.


But until that happens, we can keep sane by poking fun at the fam from time to time.

Danielle Brooks: Orange Is the New Black Star SHADED by Flight Staff

When you star in a wildly popular TV series and an acclaimed Broadway musical but airline staff still make covertly racist comments…


Yeah. Danielle Brooks has to deal with that.



Brooks, who plays fan favorite Tasha “Taystee” Jefferson on the Netflix hit show Orange Is the New Black, was offended by a comment flight staff made to her while boarding an airplane.


The actress took to Twitter recently to vent her frustrations.


“I hate when gate agents look at me like I’ve never flown first class and say ‘You’re in first class, lucky you!"” she wrote.


“Really tho,” she added.


The implication, of course, was that the gate agent assumed she was poor folk and must’ve just gotten lucky to fly first class by, I dunno, winning some sort of contest or something.


While she didn’t specifically point to racism, the subtext seemed clear, and was not lost on her followers.


“Ew casual racism??? Go off girl,” wrote one fan.


“Next time just reply, ‘They pay me enough per episode,"” commented one woman.


A third user recommended she clap back with humor and snark.


“Tell them it’s their lucky day too cause first month of Netflix is free so they can join,” the user suggested.


Netflix released the fourth season of Orange is the New Black last month and fans have been binging the show since.


This season may even be the series’ best season yet, say some critics, and in no small part due to Brooks’ talent and contributions.


Brooks is currently playing Sofia in The Color Purple on Broadway, a role for which she earned a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Featured Role in a Musical.

Kim Kardashian: SHADED By Beyonce Fans With Cruel Meme

The internet is an unsafe place, folks.


Especially when you’re Kim Kardashian, who is ironically one of the most popular and most hated celebrities on the planet.



Kim can be annoying as all get-out, and sometimes she deserves the criticism she gets.


But we’re not sure why she’s being targeted in the latest campaign by Beyonce fans.


The shade comes in the form of a meme that juxtaposes photos of both women wearing braids in their hair.


The first, an image used from Beyonce’s visual album “Lemonade,” which dropped last week to rave reviews from fans.


The second, a pic of Kim with the words “Tap Water” written across the image.



Hardcore.


Witty, okay, but why is the Beyhive so mad at Kim?


Who knows? It seems that these days, the busy Beys are set off by nearly anything.


They went hard on Rachel Roy earlier this week after they suspected that she was “Becky,” Jay Z’s alleged mistress.


The swarm also went after Rachael Ray, Rita Ora, Iggy Azalea, Wendy Williams, and finally, the cheater Jay Z himself.


So what does Kim have to do with any of this?


It could be because Kim has a longtime friendship with Rachel, which means the selfie queen is somehow guilty by association.


(It should be noted that Kim has not commented on Beyonce, Rachel or the entire “Becky” situation since the allegations came to light.)


Or it’s possible that Bey fans are dissing Kim for cultural appropriation by styling her hair in boxer braids, as “Lemonade” has been hailed as an ode to strong black women.


Whatever the case, we think it’s time for the Beyhive to put their stingers away. 


This is one rare instance when Kim really didn’t ask for any of this.
