Terrence Howard -- Admits To Hitting Women ... With an Asterisk

Z STAFF

Terrence Howard is fessing up to wife-beating allegations that cost him both of his marriages … sort of.

Howard makes the admissions in Rolling Stone, saying in both instances he was provoked, kinda playing the victim card.  

Howard was arrested in 2001 for hitting his first wife. He says, “She was talking to me real strong, and I lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids. Her lawyer said it was a closed fist, but even slapping her was wrong.” 

As for his second marriage to Michelle Ghent, Howard explains, “She was trying to Mace me and you can’t see anything so all you can do is try to bat somebody away, and I think that something caught her. But I wasn’t trying to hit her.”

Howard also deflects a 2005 incident at a restaurant where a woman claimed he hit her, but he says it was self-defense. 

He lays a lot on the table.

Kylie Jenner: Bodyguards SHOVED Jessica Alba?!

It’s been an interesting week for Kylie Jenner.

First, Kylie kissed her boyfriend publicly for the first time (a big deal when you’ve been dating someone for a freakin’ year). 

Then, less than 24 hours later, Kylie launched her first app (a big deal for her millions of teenage fans who want to look like they’ve had plastic surgery without actually going under the knife).

The girl is getting more media attention than ever these days, and it’s not hard to see how it might go to an 18-year-old’s head. 

Kylie’s never made much of an effort to keep her ego in check, but now, Page Six is claiming that she’s getting way too big for her britches, and disrespecting women who have been in the business for much longer and are worth a lot more money than Kylie.

Sources say that at the Opening Ceremony fashion show on Sunday night, Kylie’s bodyguards gave a hard shove to former actress and current billionaire CEO Jessica Alba, when Jessica had the gall to momentarily block Kylie’s way.

“After the show, trying to leave the venue, it was very crowded,” says one witness.

“Everyone was in the crush and Jessica had stopped briefly to say hi to someone when all of a sudden from behind came Jenner’s bodyguards. They just shoved Jessica out of the way. She just looked astonished!”

Yikes. Kylie’s already feuding with Blac Chyna, the last thing she needs is beef with Alba, who’s shaping up to be the next Martha Stewart.

We mean that in the sense that she’s a very wealthy and savvy businesswoman, not in the sense that she’s not afraid to do some time – but who knows? Careful, Kylie!
