Khloe Kardashian Konfuses Us with James Harden Talk

Khloe Kardashian is sending mixed messages.

Not about the status of her relationship to James Harden. Those two have clearly broken up.

But about the basis for this break-up.

Just a week ago, Khloe came right out and said Harden was not “monogamous,” adding she has the “receipts to prove” that he cheated.

So there you have it, right?

Harden cheated on Khloe and she found out and the romance ended there.

Or maybe not.

Kardashian took to her official app on Monday and seemed to amend her previous statement, telling fans the following:

“You don’t need a huge scandal for things not to work. I actually think it takes more courage to move on if there’s not a concrete reason you broke up.

“I wish people would realize that a breakup doesn’t always mean cheating or abuse — sometimes you just know things aren’t working, and you have to remove yourself from the situation.

“It takes so much strength to move on without a huge reason.”

Sure, we don’t disagree with that statement.

We just wonder how it applies to Khloe considering she’s the one who said a few days ago that Harden did cheat on her.

Since Khloe’s split from the shooting guard, estranged husband Lamar Odom has taken a few shots at Harden.

But Khloe also wrote on her app that she wishes her private business could remain private sometimes:

“When you break up in the public eye, it’s almost like you have to go through it twice: privately and publicly. I’ve been there, for sure, and it’s hard.

“You could be having a fight that you don’t necessarily want your family or friends to know about, and then all of a sudden it’s like the whole world knows your business. It’s humiliating.

“There’s so much that you want to keep private, just for the sake of your own pride, and when details get out to the tabloids or whatever, it’s like pouring salt into an open wound.

“It definitely makes it hard to close that chapter of your life.”

We have a suggestion for how to fix this, Khloe:

STOP HAVING E! CAMERAS FOLLOW YOU AROUND EVERYWHERE!

It really isn’t that difficult.

Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 18 Recap: Too Little, Too Late

Last night, on a drama-filled Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 18, Stassi Schoreder learned the answer to Justin Bieber’s eternal question:

Yes, in some cases it actually is too late to say sorry.

Watch Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 18 Online

Picking up where we left off the previous Monday, Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 18 found tensions peaking amongst the cast.

Never was this more true than with fallen icon Stassi.

Despite apologizing to Katie Maloney for being a bad friend, the latter said it was “too little, too late,” which brought the former to tears.

When Stassi told her (ex) friend that their bond was one of, if not the best she’s ever had, Tom Schwartz’s fiancee laid the smack down.

“No s–t, because your friendships are fluff with people,” Katie said. “I don’t think friends are disposable, period, or people are disposable.”

“I’m sorry, but I was a f–king amazing friend to you.”

After Stassi said she was “wrong” for her actions, Katie snapped, “Great, but too little, too late. I’ve got obviously amazing people in my life.”

“You know,” she said in a point that’s awfully hard to refute, “I just wouldn’t have time to go through that again. I would be a damn fool.”

Stassi had been kind of a d–k to peeps for years, so it’s easy to see why the instant reaction wasn’t “forgive and forget” on Katie’s part.

After a lengthier conversation, however, Katie did agree to work toward a reconciliation with Stassi – incrementally, and organically.

We’ll see how well those efforts take over time.

Elsewhere, Scheana Marie worried that she’d lose her best friend because of these developments, though Katie assured her otherwise.

For her part, Katie put Tom Schwartz on blast defending Ariana Madix after a few too many drinks, and told him to take his ring back.

Oh yes, it got a little heavy at their apartment. Wonder if there were any strings attached to that demand. (See what we did there?!)

Luckily, they chalked it up to tequila and put that behind them, while Jax tried his hand at babysitting for Peter’s girlfriend, and … wow.

One couldn’t realistically expect Jax Taylor to take good care of another human being, but still. Every rule was broken from the onset.

As always, if you want to know who wins Ben’s final final rose on the finale in two weeks, just read The Bachelor spoilers right here.

If you prefer to remain spoiler-free … you can probably guess who Ben Higgins will pick after seeing the events of this week unfold.

Or can you? Following last Monday’s hometown dates, The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 9 saw Ben jet off to paradise with his top trio.

If you watch The Bachelor online, you know everything up to this point pales in comparison to what goes on on these overnight dates.

Fantasy Suite style.

“The water’s blue. The air is fresh. The people are friendly. Jamaica just has, like, a freedom to it,” Ben said, plugging show and country.”

“You can just take that deep breath and soak in life. Honestly, I think Jamaica could be a really great place to fall in love.”

With TWO people! 

On yes, it happened. Grab a hat and hold the f–k onto it people. Caila Quinn said that even she was shocked that she felt so anxious.

It showed. Their date was filled with plenty of nerves, though things picked up when the Fantasy Suite card came around. Such as it is.

When Ben and Caila woke up together, she said that she could wake up next to him for the rest of her life, and told him she loved him.

Ben did not return that sentiment, which she attributed to the fact that he’s not allowed to say it. Boy was this episode sad for Calia.

On his date with Lauren Bushnell, she said she felt like the luckiest girl in the world; Ben literally thanked God that they were together.

And people wonder who Ben Higgins will pick. He also told her that basically he was fortunate to be in the same vicinity of Lauren.

“You’re too good for me,” Ben said, gushing outwardly. “You’re beautiful, and you’re smart, and you’re sweet, and you’re sensitive.”

When they went to the Fantasy Suite, which they obviously did, Lauren said she loved him … and Ben said it back! Bachelor. History.

Oh, but continues. After Ben and JoJo Fletcher took a helicopter to a waterfall, she came right out and told him she loved him as well.

And Ben said, “JoJo, I love you too.” She was shocked because she knows Bachelor protocol. Ben was thrown off for different reasons.

“After telling two women that I’m in love with them, I’m in a state of shock because my heart’s leading me in two directions,” he said.

“I’m scared because I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Ben said, but he meant next week, not right this minute. Caila has got to go.

When she came to visit him unannounced, he was taken aback, but since she was there, and his mind was made up, he cut her loose.

“I also realized that I am in love with two women here, and I just couldn’t say it back to you, and I don’t know why,” Higgins told her.

“And I don’t know how because, as I think through this … you are literally what I described at the beginning of this as my perfect wife.”

Or not. An awkward, two-person rose ceremony followed after she peaced out in tears, leaving JoJo and Lauren to fight another day.

Who do you think Ben will pick? Who should he pick? Hit the comments below to discuss, and yes, read the spoilers above for answers.

Stacey Dash Reads Mean Tweets About Herself

Stacey Dash is determined the milk her ongoing 15 Minutes of Fame for all she possibly can.

The Fox News contributor made one of the strangest appearances on television in the medium"s history Sunday night, walking out on stage at the Academy Awards after Chris Rock introduced her as "the new director of our minority outreach program."

Dash, who believes Black History Month ought to be eliminated, proceeded to cackle and tell an audience of millions:

I cannot wait to help my people out. Happy Black History Month.

No one really booed. No one really cheered. Everyone just sat there in stunned, confused silence.

Rock was likely playing a joke on Dash, but the former actress is trying to get the last laugh.

She actually went backstage after her appearance and stole Jimmy Kimmel"s idea of having celebrities read Mean Tweets about themselves.

“No one likes you,” Dash reads from her phone in the following video, quoting one critic on Twitter.

"You sucked on the Oscars like you do on Fox News. Pointless," reads another.

Dash doesn"t seem to comprehend that it"s not funny when a truly unpopular star reads a bunch of insults from people who represent the majority opinion.

But, then again, Dash doesn"t seem to comprehend a whole lot in the world.

"I do what I do because I want to do it,” Dash says, adding:

"And because I believe in it. It has nothing to do with race, and I wish you would stop saying that. Everything I do is because I believe in it and I believe we are all equal …  I’m very happy about what I did and I’m proud of it."
