Caitlyn Jenner Celebrates Anniversary of Iconic Vanity Fair Cover

Caitlyn Jenner officially became Caitlyn Jenner one year ago this week.



Yes, the reality star sat down with Diane Sawyer for an ABC interview on April 24, announcing at the time that she was living life as a woman.


But it was on June 1, 2015 when the former Olympian and step-father to Kim Kardashian and company made the announcement that truly changed her life forever.


It took place on the cover of Vanity Fair and it was comprised of a mere three words:


Call me Caitlyn.



The cover photo was snapped by Annie Leibovitz and it marked the public’s first-ever look at Jenner in a woman’s outfit.


On Wednesday evening, Jenner acknowledged the important occasion via an Instagram video, one she captioned with the following words:


“Can’t believe it’s been one year since the @vanityfair cover. So happy, best year of my life #happyfirstbirthday#callmecait #learningtolive.”






And what a year it has been for Caitlyn Jenner, huh?


Since coming out as a woman, she has received an award for courage at the 2015 ESPYs.


She has also…


… Anchored her own E! reality show, I Am Cait.


…  Broke President Barack Obama’s record for being the fastest to gain one million followers on Twitter, accomplishing the feat in four hours.


… Been named the runner-up for Time’s Person of the Year.


Say what you want about the way in which Caitlyn has handled her transition, but there’s no debate that she’s helped move the transgender discussion forward.


Jenner, meanwhile, will mark the 40th anniversary of her winning a gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal this summer.


On Wednesday, Sports Illustrated announced that it will commemorate the occasion with a cover story in the magazine, which will be available on newsstands June 8.


There’s also a film on the way, Jenner: 40 Years After Gold, which will air on the Sports Illustrated website.


Jessica Simpson Spends HOW MUCH on Food & Booze Each Month?!

It’s a known fact that Jessica Simpson loves her booze



Anyone who’s seen Jessica drunk on the Home Shopping Network knows that that’s one girl who doesn’t always wait until the working day is done to have her fun.


We say this not to shame Jess, as she doesn’t seem the slightest bit embarrassed about her fondness for the good life, and she shouldn’t be!


In fact, when she got pregnant for the first time, Simpson admitted one of the things she would miss most is Scotch.


The reason Jessica made a great Weight Watchers spokesperson is that she often spoke openly about her love for food.


The implicit message was clear: 


If a booze-swilling, barbecue-loving Texas girl like Jessica can trim down with Weight Watchers, anyone can!



Obviously, the media has turned her into something of a caricature, but if all those Jessica Simpson bikini photos have taught us anything, it’s that the woman really knows how to take care of herself.


Even so, we can’t help but wonder how Jess really gets down on her cheat days.


Given her expensive taste in everything else, we assumed Mrs. Simpson-Johnson doesn’t go in for a Big Mac and a six-pack of Budweiser when she indulges.


So we weren’t completely shocked when a new report from the National Enquirer claimed that Jessica and her husband, Eric Johnson, spend and astonishing $ 50,000 a month on food and alcohol.


Not surprisingly the tabloid’s source says most of that cash is spent on high-end restaurants and building up one of Hollywood’s priciest private wine cellars – which would explain footage like this:



“Jessica may have money to burn, but it’s gotten a little ridiculous how much they’ve been spending, especially on their wine collection,” says the insider.


Reps for Jess have already dismissed the rumor is nonsense, but a part of us hopes it’s true.


We want to live in a world where a person can spend 50 grand a month on wine and steaks and still look like this:


Leah Messer Buys New Home! Is She Fleeing Nosy Neighbors?

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, then you know the show hasn’t portrayed Leah Messer in the most flattering light this season.



Of course, that may have nothing to do with the way the show is edited and everything to do with the Hot Messer being the Hot Messer.


Right off the bat there was the controversy over Leah’s failure to feed her daughters before rushing them off to school.


As the season draws to a close, she’s embroiled in a conflict with her first husband and his new wife after publicly accusing Miranda Simms of neglect.


For once it looked as though Leah might be in the right, but Miranda promptly put her in her place, and fans on social media seem to be overwhelmingly Team Simms.


It’s been a season full of downs and more downs for Leah.



In fact, she’s been wrapped up in so many feuds and mini-scandals that it’s easy to forget the controversies began weeks before this season of Teen Mom 2 kicked off.


Back in March a rumor that Leah is a hoarder began to make its way around the Internet.


Messer denied it, but the photo evidence posted online by a neighbor made a compelling case.


The neighbor also reported that Leah was secretly back together with T.R. Dues, whom she claimed to have broken up with several months prior.


Now, it looks like Leah is using her MTV cash to put some distance between herself and her nosy next door friend.


“I’m extremely ecstatic to announce The girls and I just sealed the deal on our new house! #GodIsGreat Everything is falling into place!!” Leah tweeted yesterday.


Several fans pointed out that Leah moves quite frequently, which can be psychologically problematic for young children.


The going theory seems to be that Leah is attempting to get away from her neighbors and their surprisingly high-resolution cameras.


Unfortunately, we’re guessing the public’s interest in her life will follow Ms. Messer wherever she goes.


The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 9 Recap: Berkshire Blowout!

On The Real Housewives of New York City Season 8 Episode 9, Dorinda Medley’s joyful Berkshires holiday bash took a turn for the worse.



You won’t believe this, but Bethenny Frankel and Luann de Lesseps were screaming at each other last night about Skinnygirl’s roots.


“Let’s go back on the delusional Skinnygirl tour, hosted by Luann!” Bethenny said to the cameras as a prelude to the insanity to come.


The fact Dorinda Medley’s home was the location did nothing to slow the escalation of their feud, as Frankel laid into The Countess.


“You pretend you’re something you’re not,” Bethenny said, adding with brutal honestly and bluntness, “You’re not a girl’s girl.”


“No, you’re not a girl’s girl!” Luann snapped back, at which point Frankel recoiled: “What man have I ever rolled up on?”


“What married man have I ever slept with? What young 25-year-old did I ever f–k and then give my friend s–t about it?”


“You are a hypocrite! You f–k everyone! And you pretend you don’t! You are a slut and a liar and a hypocrite and a snake.”


Wow. Luann responded by calling Bethenny a “piece of s–t” and peacing out, at which Bethenny reconsidered her actions.


“I’m in someone else’s house, and I called someone a whore,” she said, with some regrets. “Maybe it’s past my bedtime.”



Luann, meanwhile, also clashed with Ramona Singer over the fact that Lu is now dating Tom, a man who had gone out with Ramona.


According to Singer, they went out seven times, and that was enough to warrant Luann asking permission before she started dating him.


Lu disagreed, saying “I don’t care because it’s before I met him,” and denied that she ever met him while he and Ramona were a thing.


Meanwhile, Carole Radziwill called Luann a pedophile and said she wouldn’t have joined if she knew Luann were gonna be there.


Luann complained that Dorinda hadn’t backed her up in her fight with Bethenny, and the host eventually cracked under the pressure:


“I think everyone is acting very poorly. I put in a big effort here. I made a conscious choice not to invite Sonja, so we could all have a good time.”


“I think it’s a disgrace of you people! You hold your things to yourself! I cooked all day! I decorated! I did it nice! I am ashamed!”


“If no one can behave themselves, then you all go home! Because I decorated, and I cooked, and I made it nice! So go home!”
