Yolanda Foster: I"m Changing My Name!

Unlike many divorced women, Yolanda Foster has decided that her ex-husband, David"s last name doesn"t suit her anymore.


So, the Dutch model asked her three children – Gigi, Bella and Anwar what to do.


"I talked about it with the kids," Yolanda told Andy Cohen on February 16th"s Watch What Happens Live.


"I never dropped the name Hadid, because I have three children with that last name, and I asked the kids, "Should I go back to van den Herik?" and they said, "No! You"re our mommy and we have the same last name.’"


Yolanda"s social handles are still "Foster," since she explained to Cohen that she just made the decision the previous day.


The interview also involved more of the same: Lisa Rinna, Munchausen Syndrome and an apology that simply wasn"t enough for Foster.


"Yolanda Hadid Foster was on a mission, and her mission was to try to nail me to the wall with what she thought to be the facts," Rinna wrote on her blog after last night"s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.


"It’s obvious that she has it in her head that I am labeling her with Munchausen since she said numerous times that I am labeling her. In reality, what I did was inform her that she has already been questioned and labeled by others in our community.


"Big, big difference there. She then proceeded to read to all of us what Munchausen by proxy was. Again, big BIG difference as that was never once up for discussion between any of us."


Creating a storyline for her illness might have been a mistake for Foster/Hadid, since the others have taken it upon themselves to blow it way, way out of proportion.


I miss the days of arguing over a Maloof Hoof.

The People v. O.J. Simpson: A Scathing Indictment of the Kardashians?

Last night’s episode of the hit FX miniseries The People v. O.J. Simpson featured a scene in which Robert Kardashian (as portrayed by David Schwimmer) took his four kids to a packed restaurant on Father’s Day.


Fearing that they wouldn’t be able to get a table, Kardashian approached the hostess stand, where he was instantly recognized as “Richard Cordovian” and informed that he and his kids would be seated right away.



The scene takes place just days after the arrest of O.J. Simpson for the double murder of Nicole Brown-Simpson and Ronald Goldman.


The tragic events thrust Robert Kardashian – then a non-practicing lawyer and small-time businessman – into the spotlight as a result of his role as Simpson’s number one confidante.


Once seated, Kardashian lectures his giddy children on the shallowness of fame, and the importance of disregarding public opinion in favor of staying true to one’s self.


His words fall on deaf ears, as the kids bask in the spotlight and gush about their famous step-father, Bruce Jenner.


The Kardashians are said to be furious about the depiction of Robert as a cut-rate lawyer who was only involved with the case because of his friendship with “the Juice” (famed attorneys Robert Shapiro, F. Lee Bailey, and Alan Dershowitz barely acknowledge him in one scene), but thus far, it seems that he’s meant to serve as the unlikely moral center of the show.


At first, the series’ focus on the Kardashian family’s role in the trial was viewed as a desperate attempt to make the events of the case more relevant to a Millennial audience.


On more careful inspection, however, one notices that Kim and her siblings are always depicted as behaving in an insensitive, self-obsessed fashion, even as their parents cope with the brutal murder of one close friend, and the trial of a man so close to the family that the Kardashian kids called him Uncle O.J.


In the first episode they’re seen roughhousing at the funeral of Nicole Brown-Simpson, ignoring their mother’s admonitions to show some respect.


In the second, they chant their family’s name while their father reads what was thought to be Simpson’s suicide note on live television.


In the third, they revel in the fact that their parents’ newfound fame (Kris Jenner was starring in her new husband’s Thighmaster infomercials at the time.) might mean a lifetime of special treatment.


What was once thought to be a cheesy nod to the tangential involvement of a family of present-day A-listers may in fact be an indictment of the national obsession with celebrity that almost certainly played a role in Simpson’s acquittal, and that many believe enabled him to quite literally get away with murder. 


It’s easy to see how the Kardashians might take offense at their portrayal, but more and more it seems that the goal of the show’s producers is not to take preemptive shots at the celebrity world’s easiest targets, but to illustrate the ways in which the widespread mentality that compromised the Simpson trial is still alive and well.


Kylie Jenner Goes Grilling, Looks Very Stupid

Think Kylie Jenner with pink hair was a disturbing sight to behold?


You may want to be sitting down for this in that case.



Earlier this week, Tyga shared a photo on his official Instagram account that features his 18-year old girlfriend straight up grilling.


No, Kylie isn’t preparing any hamburgers or hot dogs in this picture.


She’s rocking a temporary grill across her teeth!


“Augghhh,” Tyga wrote as a caption to the image, which pretty much sums up our feelings on it as well.


We can at least confirm that the grill didn’t remain in Kylie’s mouth for very long because Jenner later shared the following image on her own social media page:



Kylie and Tyga spent February 14 in New York City, going on a scenic helicopter ride over Manhattan as a couple.


The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star then showed off a slew of new trinkets online, including a watch and this flashy mouthpiece.


“Perfect day,” Jenner wrote of her Valentine’s Day with Tyga.


In case you were curious, by the way, here is a look at Kylie Jenner’s butt, courtesy of a lace outfit donned by Kylie herself. 


(She’s 18 years old now, fellas. It’s okay to check out that photo and also the ones below.)


Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth: Moving in Together!

On the down low and under the radar, Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth of The Bachelorette fame are still going strong here in 2016.


They’re even moving in together, as a matter of fact.



“We’re very touchy feely,” Bristowe reveals to People magazine. “That’s how we show our love. We grab each other’s butts all the time!”


Given that this is the couple that personally gave away the biggest secret in the history of The Bachelor spoilers, we aren’t really shocked.


Fans may recall that Bristowe accidentally posted a video on Snapchat of Booth in her bed before The Bachelorette season finale aired.


Smooth, it wasn’t. But hey, they were hot for each other from the start, and now they’re shacking up together in a new home in Nashville.


“We’ve come full circle,” says Bristowe of this new phase.


“There was no weird, ‘Oh no am I going to be able to live with this?’ I get mad at him when he shaves [all over the sink], but that’s about it!”


Adds Booth: “The pressure doesn’t get to us at all.”


“We only knew each other for ten weeks before I proposed. We’re both normal people and the most normal thing we can do is wait.”


To hear Kaitlyn tell it, “we’re living together, we’re enjoying being engaged. When we start to plan, we’ll let everybody know!”


One thing she can promise you right off the bat?


“I’m going to take his name. I’m not a traditional person, but when it comes to that, I like the idea of being traditional. I think it’s romantic.”


Sounds like they have no shortage of romance these days. ”I love Shawn more now than the day he proposed,” says Bristowe. 


“That was like a fantasy love. Now it’s real.”
