Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna Reality Show: Coming Soon?!

Reclusive celebrity Rob Kardashian reportedly wants back on reality TV … but with new flame Blac Chyna, not his famous family.


Somehow we don’t see Momager Kris taking kindly to this …




Kris, Robert and Blac



According to TMZ insiders, Rob wants to do a show about his life with Blac Chyna, chronicling day-to-day times with his family’s mortal enemy.


The lovebirds are shacking up and are going to be living together for a long time, the site reports, so logistically it would make sense.


As we reported last week, Khloe Kardashian kicked Rob out of her house after returning from a business trip finding him with Blac.


Despite his family’s rage and everyone believing that he’s spiting them, being played or both, Rob insists he loves Chyna for Chyna.


He certainly proved it this weekend, driving to Texas to rescue Blac from jail after she was arrested for causing a drunken scene at the Austin airport.


Yes, Texas. From L.A. If that’s not true romance, what is?


As for why Rob, who has battled diabetes, depression and anxiety, and has basically been a hermit for years, wants back on television?


It’s how the dude knows to make a living. Simple as that.


Now, as for whether a Blac-Rob reality show would be feasible contractually, given his obvious ties to the Kardashian TV franchise?


Not surprisingly, the E! Network has the right of first refusal to any program he might want to do, but he’s not barred from going elsewhere.


Kris Jenner has major pull at E! and could 100 percent shut him down there, but if they pass, he could theoretically shop this around.


His mom might hire a hit man before she lets that happen – clearly Kris’ bid to “save” him from Chyna didn’t work – but legally, it’s doable.


As for whether there’s an audience for this project?


Who’s to say, but given the interest in the Saga of Rob and Chyna, it would probably garner a lot of interest if they moved on it ASAP.


Just saying. We’d tune in at least for the premiere.


Anna Kendrick: I Want to Bang the Entire Cast of Grease Live!

We already knew Anna Kendrick is awesome, and we figured Grease: Live would be pretty cool, but we had no idea how fabulous the combination of those two things could be.



No, Kendrick didn’t take the stage to hand-jive with the rest of the cast (except in our dreams), but she did live-tweet the entire broadcast, and her critiques are as hilariously NSFW as you could hope.


Kendrick’s live tweets are always a joy, but she was particularly on point last night. Some highlights:


  • “This is the role @juliannehough’s ass was born to play #GreaseLive”

  • “This is so much fun, it’s almost upsetting. #ColdDeadHeart #GreaseLive”

  • “You’re right Sandy, never having an orgasm IS hard #GreaseLive”

  • “This ‘nerd girl’ is like me in high school. Except hotter and less annoying #GreaseLive”

  • “Yeah… this gorgeous blonde is such a loser… (this high school is weird) #GreaseLive”

  • “I would sleep with literally every member of this cast #GreaseLive”

And of course, Anna capped things off with a sincere shout-out to the entire cast, including Vanessa Hudgens, who lost her father to cancer just hours before the performance.


“Everyone was incredible tonight,” Kendrick tweeted. “Well done @juliannehough @VanessaHudgens @AaronTveit the whole cast and the CREW! #GreaseLive”


Well done, indeed. Check out some of the most show’s most memorable moments in GIF form in the gallery below:


Benoit Violier, Owner of World"s Best Restaurant, Dead of Apparent Suicide

Benoit Violier, considered by many in the food world to be the best chef on the planet, was found dead on Sunday of an apparent suicide.


He was 44 years old.







Violier had been the owner of Restaurant de l’Hotel de Ville since 2012.


A renowned three-star establishment located in the small Swiss village of Crissier, the restaurant was ranked as best in the world in late 2015 by the latest Michelin Guide.


(This gastronomic booklet is the French foreign ministry’s answer to the Britain-based World’s 50 Best Restaurants.)


Not many details regarding Violier’s death have been made public at this time, with Swiss police simply releasing the following statement:


“Late in the afternoon, police… went to Crissier where they discovered at his home the body of Mr Benoit Violier.”


Vionier – who formerly worked for chef Joël Robuchon in Paris – told Swiss newspaper Le Temps recently that he had been deeply affected by the death of his “two fathers” last year.


The chef lost his biological father last April; three months later, his longtime mentor, Philippe Rochat (the chef he succeeded at the Restaurant de l’Hotel de Ville) also passed away.


Authorities are continuing to investigate this passing.


Via statement, Violier’s family has asked for privacy “to be allowed to mourn in peace.”


We send them our condolences.


High School Dodgeball Team Appears to Dress Like KKK Members

This really isn’t very complicated, high school students of America:


Do your best not to spell out really racist words at a class event and never the sport the kind of attire made famous by the country’s most infamous hate group.




KKK?



Unfortunately, seven boys at Mound Westonka High School in Minnesota were unable to abide by this second recommendation last Wednesday, as they donned garb for a dodgeball match that looked an awful lot like the sort of thing worn by members of the Ku Klux Klan.


This may not have been their intention… but just take a look at the shirts and white bandanas being worn in the photos above and below.




Dodgeball team



“I turned around, and the team behind me looked like they came in with a Ku Klux Klan uniform, or an interpretation of it,” senior Ryan Anderson told WCCO, the local CBS affiliate.


“It was something to say the least.”


The event was supervised by teachers and administrators, none of whom took any action during the game.


But the district then received complaints after images were shared on social media.


“Anybody who is well-versed in history can know that anyone with a pointed white hat is trying to symbolize the KKK,” a parent who asked to remain anonymous told KMSP.


“There are not a lot of other organizations that can be confused with.”


We’d have to agree.


The district says that “appropriate action will be taken in accordance with district policy” if its investigation turns up anything worthy of punishment.


For whatever it may be worth, the school’s population is 93 percent white, 3 percent Hispanic, 2 percent African-American and 2 percent Asian, according to The Washington Post.
