Aly Raisman: Hottest Pics of the Sexy Gymnast!


Over the course of the 2016 Olympics, there have been countless articles about how sexist it is to talk about the attractiveness of female athletes.


But we at The Hollywood Gossip reject that notion.


After all, aren"t the Olympics all about appreciating flawless specimens of human physicality?


Besides, we"re equal opportunity objectifiers, and we"re happy to bring you updates on the most gold medal-worthy Speedo bulges on the men"s teams, too.


That flimsy justification brings us to Aly Raisman.


You may have marveled at Raisman"s superhuman skills during the floor exercises that brought the US women"s team gold last night.


But you may have also marveled at the way her American flag onesie complimented dat ass.


Look, there are a million places you can read about Raisman"s epic floor routine during last night"s team finals.


It"s only at THG that you"ll get an in-depth discussion of the curvature of her patriotically-bedazzled posterior.


We don"t want to say it"s the most important thing you"ll ever read, but it"s certainly not not the most important thing you"ll ever read.


Okay, onto the perfectly-toned butt:

Farrah Abraham to Sophia: God Bless You and Your Future Porn Career!

Farrah Abraham talking about her daughter embarking on her own porn career when she turns 18 is enough to bring a tear to your eye.


Not in a sweet, poignant way, either.



In a recent podcast, a.k.a. The Gift That Keeps on Giving (not unlike Farrah in her “sex tape”), Abraham was asked about her daughter.


Specifically, how she would feel if Sophia, now seven, were to follow in her mom’s footsteps and entered the adult entertainment industry.


Her response? VINTAGE Farrah.


“God bless her!” Abraham said.


“Because you know what, when you’re 18, and, if you feel that you’re vulnerable enough or your mother wasn’t there,” she went on.


“Or if you feel you don’t have enough money in your bank account, and you decide to do that, then that’s your own choice.”


So, there you have it.



Long story short, she’s 100 percent cool with Sophia doing porn, so long as she feels she could make some good money or is vulnerable.


Good life lesson there.


While that may go down as one of the more asinine things ever said by any parent, or human being, it hardly surprises us with Farrah.


After all, this is a person who said she isn’t addicted to plastic surgery, despite describing how she’s basically addicted to exactly that.


Or said the other Teen Moms are desperate for fame and exploiting their kids … while Farrah herself hawks a signature sex toy line.


We could go on.



As for her ongoing penchant for giving her daughter permission to get dolled up and pursue her modeling “career” at such a young age?


“You know, when your kids are five or six, they already start playing with makeup,” the 26-year-old Abraham said, dubiously.


“And I was pretty much the only mother in freakin’ elementary school getting called in to deal with makeup on her daughter.”


The single mom told Sophia’s elementary school principal that if she doesn’t want to see this? Set a better example herself!


“So I said to them – and I proved my point because then the principal switched schools – I go, ‘Well then you should take off your makeup.”


“If you don’t want little girls coming to school with makeup then don’t wear makeup,’” the outspoken MTV personality explained.


“And then ever since,” Abraham said, clearly pleased with herself, “when I’ve seen that principal, she hasn’t had makeup on her face.”


Farrah adds that she’s no longer concerned about those who don’t agree with Sophia’s pursuit of modeling glory or love of beauty products.


“There’s bigger things to worry about than makeup,” she said, perhaps in the first and only coherent moment of her entire interview.



The entrepreneur, who may be an actual prostitute, received major backlash when she posted suggestive modeling photos of her little girl.


In one of the pics, a two-piece-clad Sophia appeared to be half-submerged in a pool, gazing into the camera while wearing heavy makeup.


Some called the series of snaps “disturbing” and “horrible,” or just another example of Farrah Abraham parenting fails (see below gallery).


Abraham seem pleased with the images, however.


“Happy #sunday @rlsmodelsphotography God gave me an extraordinary young lady @sophialabraham I’m so blessed,” she wrote.


Farrah added that she’s “Excited to see all the great things flourish in Sophia’s life journey #blessed #beauty #photography”


Therapy bills will definitely flourish, and soon.


Hannah Storm Breakd Down Over Death of John Saunders

Hannah Storm was faced with every reporter"s worst nightmare on Wednesday afternoon:


She had to announce the death of a colleague and good friend. On live television.



The SportsCenter anchor was hosting ESPN"s lead show from Brazil, in honor of the Summer Olympics, when the shocking news came down that John Saunders was dead.


A fixture at the company since 1986, Saunders passed away suddenly at the age of 61.


He had served for years as host of The Sports Reporters, whole covering everything at the cable network, from professional hockey to Major League Baseball All-Star Games to college football.


"John was an extraordinary talent and his friendly, informative style has been a warm welcome to sports fans for decades," said ESPN President John Skipper upon his passing.


"His wide range of accomplishments across numerous sports and championship events is among the most impressive this industry has ever seen.


"More importantly, John was a beloved and devoted family man who cared deeply about people and causes, as evidenced by his long-standing efforts as a passionate board member for The V Foundation for Cancer Research.


"He was one of the most significant and influential members of the ESPN family, as a colleague and mentor, and he will be sorely missed.


"Our thoughts are with his loved ones at this extremely difficult time."



Incredibly, this was the second time Storm had been on live television when a co-worker died.


She was also forced to react in the moment when Stuart Scott died of cancer last year.


Watch her handle the responsibility as nobly and as professionally as one possibly can under such a circumstance:

Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson: Back Together After All These Years?

There’s a rumor going around that Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson have made their way back into each other’s arms.



A source told British tabloid Heat that Holmes and Jackson “had lunch together and things went from there.  Pretty soon, they were texting and talking to each other almost every day and spending time together whenever they got a chance.”


Jackson split up with Diane Kruger after ten years together, which was confirmed by their rep on July 18th.


Holmes had reportedly parted ways with rumored boyfriend Jamie Foxx (a relationship which was never confirmed), so the former Dawson’s Creek co-stars made like Joey and Pacey and got back together.



Another source told Life & Style that Holmes and Jackson’s “friends are convinced they’re more than just old buddies.”


Despite fans really, really, really wanting this to be true, Holmes’ rep shot down the story to Gossip Cop.  In fact, Holmes’ team told Life & Style  the same thing, but the tabloid ran the story anyway “just to stir up a rumor.”



In fact, the rep continued, Holmes and Jackson haven’t been in contact in a long time.


What’s weird is that in 2012, Jackson confirmed that Holmes called him up to reconnect after her split from Tom Cruise.


“Like any old friend, it was like, ‘Oh, hi how are ya? What’s going on?’; ‘I had a kid,"” Jackson recalled during an appearance on a Canadian talk show.


“It was very nice, actually.”


In September 1998, Holmes told Rolling Stone that she was smitten-kitten with Jackson.



“I’m just going to say that I met somebody last year, I fell in love, I had my first love, and it was something so incredible and indescribable,” she said at the time.


“I feel so fortunate because he’s now one of my best friends. It’s weird, it’s almost like a Dawson-and-Joey type thing now.  He’s been in the business so long, and he’s really helped me. I respect him as a friend and as a professional.”


BRB, going to destroy my Joey and Pace dream board. Thanks, Gossip Cop.
