Kardashians Meet with Gun Violence Victims, Don"t Suck for Once

We hate to admit this, but…


… the Kardashian might not be entirely terrible.



They are mostly terrible, don’t get us wrong.


They mislead young fans into thinking that waist training is actually an effective thing… they think that posing naked on social media is a lot of work… and they brought Tyga into our lives.


But still. Consider the following:


On Friday, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian – along with Kris and Kendall Jenner – attended a private lunch with men and women who have lost relatives due to gun violence.


The event was organized by Moms Demand Action and Everytown.


Both are organizations that push for various gun control measures to be passed in Congress.


“Having lunch with the families of loved ones who were killed by gun violence. I learned a lot from listening to their stories,” Kim wrote as a caption to the above image.


She added:


“Life is so precious! What will it take for this to stop? #NotOneMore #Everytown #MomsDemand.”



Gun control appears to be one real issue that Kim takes seriously.


After the massacre inside an Orlando nightclub that killed 49 patrons in June, Kim Tweeted:


“Under current federal law people on terror watch lists can legally buy guns – this is called the Terror Gap,” Kim tweeted yesterday.


“We have repeatedly called on Congress to close this loophole that makes it easy for dangerous people to get guns & kill.


“Nothing has changed!!!! People continue to senselessly die. When will these gun laws be changed?!?!?!?!!!!?????”


Those who watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online will see footage from this luncheon on a future episode, so of course the family used the occasion as a fodder for their TV show.


But whatever.


If they made any difference at all in helping to get some common sense gun control laws passed in this country, we can’t say anything negative about them at this time.



Erica Smegielski, whose mother was killed in the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, also shared a picture she took with Kendall and Kourtney on Twitter, writing along with it:


“Awesome to hang with these gun sense champs.”


Also, Khloe posted the following on Instagram:


“Was able to spend the afternoon with the families of victims of gun violence. Today was so very moving and impactful.


“I learned so much and i’m so grateful to everyone who was brave enough to share their very traumatic stories.”


In late June, Kim Kardashian went on a rant against the government after four new gun control measures failed to get passed.


“So terrorists on fbi’s wanted lists can legally still buy guns. Oh & mentally ill people can buy guns without a background check too,” she wrote, adding:


“The fact that anyone can so easily access guns is so scary & after all of the devastating loss the Senate should have not failed us!!!”


Again, we shudder to write it, but…


She makes some good points.


We’re sort of frightened here. We’re not sure how to react to this.


Here. Let’s post some Kim Kardashian nude selfies so everyone feels nice and normal again about these reality stars:


Jaden Smith Dead? Suicide Hoax Just Won"t Quit on Facebook

Is Jaden Smith dead? Fans across the world are freaking out over a suicide death hoax, one that has dogged the young celebrity for over a week.


Disturbing as that is, we can happily report that he is alive.



A Facebook story is going viral that purports Jaden dead.


However, the 18-year-old has not in fact killed himself. Insiders say that “the news was not true and didn’t come from a legitimate source.”


In fact, one source close to the situation confirms, “users who clicked the above-displayed message were greeted with a popup message.”


The fake story of Smith’s death cites big websites like CNN and TMZ to make it appear real, but in fact was click bait and nothing else.


In reality, Jaden is promoting his new Netflix series The Get Down and hanging out with his father Will Smith, who is promoting Suicide Squad.



The false Jaden Smith suicide rumors have been so pervasive that many questionable apps have been downloaded as a result of clicking.


Please, do not fall victim to this blatantly false scam.


Insiders say Smith did not find the death hoax very funny at all, however reports of his untimely demise didn’t seem to faze his busy life.


Since his 18th birthday July 8, Jaden has continued to work on his first album, including a “leaked” music video believed to be its first single.


Jaden can also take comfort in the fact that he is far from the first famous person to be fake killed by the Internet in such bizarre fashion …


Here are a bunch of other hoax “victims” …

Egor Tarabasov: Lindsay Lohan Reveals Scary History Of Abuse

The violent fight Lindsay Lohan and Egor Tarabasov were seen having in Mykonos, Greece on July 5th was upsetting, to say the least.



Now, Lindsay tells the Daily Mail‘s Katie Nicholl about her fiance’s abusive past, revealing that this isn’t the first time Tarabasov has put his hands on her.


“No woman can be hit and stay with that person if that person isn’t prepared to say sorry,” Lindsay said.


“I realise now you can’t stay in a relationship just for love.”


The disturbing footage, released by Radar Online, shows the couple in a jeep and reportedly arguing.



Lindsay threw Egor’s phone out the window, so he got out of the car to retrieve it.  Lindsay got out as well, and tried to get to the phone before her fiance.


Egor managed to grab Lindsay from behind, and twisted her arm behind her back.  When he finally got his phone, Ego went back to the jeep.


Lindsay later explained that Egor, 22, had taken her phone, so she threw his on to the beach in retaliation.


Without going into much detail, she said that he “drank too much” and “went crazy.”



Lindsay did, however, explain what led to their last public fight on July 23rd, when Lindsay screamed for help from the balcony of her London flat and claimed that Egor was trying to strangle her.


“Egor and I had been out for dinner. We danced, it was fun,” Lindsay explained of the series of events that led to the incident.


‘When we got home I went to bed and Egor went out. A few hours later he came back and when I woke up he was standing over me. He wasn’t himself, he was being very aggressive and he attacked me."”


Why is Lindsay talking about this now?   She’s scared of what might happen to her if she stays silent, especially now that there is hard evidence that Egor has put a hand on her.



“I wanted to do this interview because it’s time to tell the truth,” Lindsay said.


“There have been so many lies printed about me recently. I’ve kept quiet for so long but now I’m scared of what Egor might do to me and to himself.


Still, Lindsay admits, she wears her emerald engagement ring.  The relationship, though, may well be over.


“I haven’t taken it off, even after all this,” Lindsay said.


“The truth is, I wanted to make things work, but now I’m not sure that I can.”


Lindsay said she has tried to get in touch with Ego to talk things out and figure out how to move forward.


“I need closure,” she explained. ‘I genuinely fell in love with him but he broke my trust and made me feel unsafe.”


Lohan also revealed that she and Egor planned on getting married next May in Lake Como, and that she has cut her father, Michael Lohan off again for falsely telling the press that she’s pregnant (Lohan blames her rounder belly on pasta and “good Mediterranean living.”).


“My father is known for talking to the press and selling stories,” she said.



“He loves the attention. In the past he’s said I’ve done drugs, he put my number on the internet. ‘Who does that? Some of the stuff he’s done proves to me he doesn’t care about me.”


Where Linsday and Egor go from here is anyone’s guess, and the Russian businessman has not responded to the Mail‘s request for a comment.
