| Tayshia Adams Breaks Silence on Zac Split, Walks Off 'Men Tell All' Stage Posted: 06 Dec 2021 07:01 PM PST  Breaking her silence! The Bachelorette's Tayshia Adams is speaking out after calling off her engagement from fiancé Zac Clark, nearly one year after the proposal aired. During the Monday, December 6, episode of The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All, cohost Kaitlyn Bristowe noted that Adams, 31, isn’t wearing her engagement ring. "All I have to say is that I'm heartbroken. But we tried really hard and I still love him very much and I'm not sure what the future holds,” the season 16 Bachelorette shared. “You know how it is, it's really tough." The Dancing With the Stars winner, 36, replied, "I sadly do know how it is, it’s really hard, but we’re here for you and obviously want you to be happy.” After the duo hug, they welcome Rodney Mathews onto the stage. However, Adams gets up while he’s talking and exits the stage. “We’re gonna let Tayshia have a minute,” Bristowe told the cameras. She later came back out and rejoined the show. Us Weekly confirmed on November 22 that the reality show pair had split. "Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark are no longer a couple," a rep told Us at the time. The news came three days after Life & Style reported that they were on a break. Due to their busy schedules, "they eventually realized it wasn't going to work and their relationship ran its course," a source exclusively told Us, noting that the duo hadn't "even started wedding planning" before calling it quits. The insider noted that there was still a lot of "love" between Clark, 37, and Adams and it would be "a hard breakup for the two of them." The former couple, who met during season 16 of the ABC reality series in 2020, sparked split speculation days before pulling the plug on their relationship after Adams was spotted without her engagement ring while taping two "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast episodes. She continued to fuel breakup rumors when she shared a cryptic message via Twitter. "Trust the process…," the former phlebotomist wrote on November 15. The following day, the TV personality was again seen without her ring while attending the House of Gucci premiere solo in New York City. Several days later, Adams “liked” a post on an Instagram page that read, "Finally, I realized that I was never asking for too much. I was just asking the wrong person.” Two weeks before ending things, the twosome ran the New York City Marathon together on November 7. Following the event, Clark gushed over Adam's ability to push through adversity. "I will be forever grateful to have had a front row seat to her performance yesterday, as will the thousands of others who cheered her along the way," the addiction specialist wrote via Instagram on November 8. "The world is a better place today than it was yesterday because of you." Nearly one year earlier, Bachelor Nation was rooting for Adams to give Clark her final rose after she replaced Clare Crawley during season 16 of the ABC show. (Crawley, 40, got engaged to Dale Moss within the first two weeks of production and left the show. In September, Us confirmed that the on-off couple called it quits for good.) Clark's sweet proposal during the December 2020 Bachelorette finale became one of the more unforgettable moments in the series. "I came here because I was supposed to be here, and I came here because I was supposed to fall in love with you," he said during his speech. "Nothing has felt so right my entire life. You've helped me experience the love I didn't know existed … I love you because you are a strong, independent woman, who makes everyone better. I love you because you believe in me." However, the following year, Adams talked to Us about the pressure that came with falling in love on TV. "It's so funny because people do have lives outside of social media," the "Clickbait" podcast host said in June. "And it’s so amazing to have the love and support of Bachelor Nation. Because to be honest with you, we go through it kind of together when we’re all watching the show. However, you have to realize that it’s a real relationship behind the scenes." |
| Jana Kramer: My Lifetime Costars Helped Me Get Through Mike Caussin Split Posted: 06 Dec 2021 06:30 PM PST Turning the page. Jana Kramer has been vocal about the emotional rollercoaster she's been on since splitting from Mike Caussin. Us Weekly confirmed in April 2021 that the One Tree Hill alum filed for divorce from the former football player after nearly six years of marriage. Kramer announced the breakup the same month, revealing she "fought" to keep her relationship going. "I've loved hard. I've forgiven. I've put the work in. I've given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give," she wrote via Instagram at the time. "I just can't fight any longer. It's time to heal. Thank you for all the love, heart, and support, in many ways you have fought on this journey alongside me, and for that I am grateful. I'll always encourage you to continue the good fight, but you can't fight it alone. Shortly after news of the split broke, a source exclusively told Us that the Approaching Midnight actress, who shares daughter Jolie and son Jace with the ex-NFL star, "uncovered a recent infidelity" that led to her ending things for good. The former couple previously separated in 2016 after being married one year. The brief split came after Us broke the news of Caussin's infidelity. The Virginia native sought treatment for sex addiction and the pair renewed their vows the following year. "Jana's final straw came when she uncovered once again that [Mike] had cheated on her," the insider said in April 2021, noting the duo were in couple's counseling every week ahead of the divorce. A second source told Us, "Jana and Mike both agree [that] at this point it's not going to work." The insider explained that while the former athlete "always regrets what he's done" in regard to his past indiscretions, "unfortunately it doesn't end there." Kramer, for her part, "knows she did her best and did everything she could" before walking away, according to the source. "She's definitely holding her ground and saying she's not going to take him back. She's done, but emotionally it's been draining." The Love at First Bark star has since returned to social media and her hosting duties on the "Whine Down" podcast. Kramer's personal life has never been off limits, with the actress opening up about her highs and lows with fans both online and on the radio. Scroll down to see what the Christmas in Mississippi star has said about her breakup, including how she's moving forward as a single mom and career woman.  “I have to start getting used to my new normal. Forgive me for not really knowing how to walk that yet,” Kramer said via her Instagram Stories in April 2021, noting she doesn’t want to “put a Band-Aid on things because in order to fully grow, you have to grieve and heal.” The “I’ve Done Love” singer added: “I’m trying to just be really mindful of that, and not distract myself with this, that and the other. But I do want to start getting back to having some normalcy — even in my new normal. So that’s with you guys, but just thank you, again. It means more to me than you know.” Shutterstock (2)  When the Country Crush actress returned to her “Whine Down” podcast in May 2021, she noted that she wasn’t sure if the podcast was the right thing for her anymore. “You know, I started this show by myself … and once Mike came on as a guest and we talked about our stuff, he said that he loved sharing,” she explained. “And then it just felt like ours, so now it feels weird not having him on here.” Kramer revealed that she felt “like a zombie” in the weeks that followed their divorce announcement. “I didn’t want this. At the end of the day, like, I think … I’m embarrassed that this is how it ended, and then I also feel like I’ve let people down. … I thought we were good,” she said. “Like, why was I so weak? Why am I pining for these men to love me? … I’m gonna do the work though and … one day, hopefully I’ll be healthy to attract healthy. I can’t even think about [dating] right now. That is, like, the furthest thing in my brain.” Tinseltown/Shutterstock  The “I Got the Boy” singer admitted she had a “lot of resentment” toward her estranged husband in May 2021, one month after announcing their split. “I feel like it’s take, take, take. It’s, like, you already took everything,” she said during an episode of her podcast. “Not everything, but you took my family away from me. That’s where I’m stuck right now … angry.” Kramer added that her former spouse is “gonna change, so the next girl gets the changed man,” which irks her. “I fear that I’m going to resent him for the rest of my life for breaking up our family,” she said. “I’ve gotten out of the ‘Will he ever change? Did I make the right decision?’ [space]. I know I made the right decision. … I’m never settling, ever again. I’d rather be alone.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  “There’s a lot of emotions and feelings. I think we’re doing the best we can, but it definitely sucks,” the actress said via her Instagram Story in June 2021 of coparenting with the Virginia native. One week prior, Kramer told her podcast listeners that she was “not ready” to do family activities with her estranged husband. “The other day he asked me, ‘Hey, do you want to do birdhouses?’” she recalled on her podcast. “I’ve got the kids. He hasn’t moved into his new place, so I let him come and see the kids obviously. I was, like, ‘Uh, yeah sure.’ Then I went out there, and I got struck with this emotion, you know, like, this isn’t real. I’m not ready to do this yet. I would love to have done this, but now I’m like, ‘I’m still mad at [you].'” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  The mother of two told her podcast listeners in June 2021 that she isn’t sure what the future holds for her when it comes to expanding her family. “Maybe if I met The One [I’d have more kids]," Kramer said. “I never thought I would have to have that conversation again. I don’t know. I’ve had miscarriages.” The Dancing With the Stars alum noted “there was always something happening in my relationship” when she and Caussin found out they were pregnant. “It would be nice to experience it in a healthy and happy way and celebrate it,” she explained. “There was always something behind the scenes that I didn’t know about or I had just found out about, so it would be nice to not have any of that energy and just be like, ‘We’re pregnant!'” MediaPunch/Shutterstock; Jim Smeal/Shutterstock  The One Tree Hill alum revealed in June 2021 that she sold her second wedding ring from the former NFL player following their split. “That money from the ring paid for the furniture and the new additions to the house,” she said during her “Whine Down” podcast, noting she also redid most of her house in the wake of the divorce. “I debated. I was like, ‘I’m going to sell this ring and then maybe buy myself something.’ Like a bag. My divorce present. [But] I was like, ‘Honestly, what would make me happiest is to have new energy in the house.’ So, I took that money and gave it to my [interior designers]. I needed to create a new space that felt like me and felt like mine.” Kramer explained that she previously sold her first wedding ring after Caussin cheated on her in 2016 resulting in a brief split where he sought treatment for sex addiction. The two later renewed their vows in 2017. “It’s the second ring I’ve had to get rid of from him,” she said. “Cause the first ring I was like, ‘I will never put this back on my hand.’ … I took every diamond he ever bought me and I sold them, because I didn’t want to look at them ever again.” imageSPACE/Shutterstock  “It’s still super hard. It’s still, like, I’m gonna have to deal with him for the rest of my life,” Kramer said on a June 2021 episode of the “Unzipped” podcast of her relationship with Caussin now. “I wish we could just be, like, ‘All right, peace out.’ Like, ‘Great knowing you. You do you.’ [But] we have kids that essentially bind us together and there’s still so much, like, hate and hurt between us.” The Soccer Mom Madam star continued: “I’m trying my best to, like, lead with love and when he doesn’t do it and I’m, like, ‘Well, wait a minute, like, you don’t get to be mean to me. I didn’t want this.’ So it’s very hard for me not to go to that same place, but I know that he deals with his sadness in his way of more anger.” The Michigan native also commented on the most “unfair” thing about her divorce. “I did get angry with him because I was just, like, you basically blew our house up. You blew me up and then you leave and you expect me to, like, [be a] mom,” she explained. “I [have] pieces everywhere, like, literally blown-up house. That’s why, you know, the girls came over and were, like, literally making food for my kids, because I was just lost.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  The “Circles” singer set the record straight in June 2021 on where she and Bachelorette alum Graham Bunn stand after previously saying they were in an “entanglement” amid her divorce. “It’s one of those things where … first of all, I don’t even know what [an entanglement] is,” Kramer joked on her podcast. “I just feel like sometimes I need to take a beat before I say something because I would have obviously worded it a lot differently.” She continued: “I regret that a little bit because the storms of stories that came out really affected me and my anxiety because that’s just not where I’m at. It messed with me and threw me for a loop. But to set the record straight, we are friends, and I’ve known of him for seven years. … I didn’t watch his season of The Bachelorette, I didn’t even know he was on it.” The musician noted that she reconnected with Bunn following her split and the two have spent time together, but she insisted she’s not ready for a new relationship just yet. “He knows and I know that I just need to be alone,” she explained. “I need to go through what I’m going through and I need to do that alone.” Shutterstock (2)  After receiving backlash for calling herself a “single mom” in June 2021, Kramer doubled down on her mom status via Instagram. “I read a pretty nasty site that people were hating on me because I said I was a single mom so apparently I’m not allowed to say that. But I am single. I am a mom,” she captioned a solo snap at the time. “To further drive my point home, I looked up the definition and it’s a parent who has the kids more than 50%👋🏼.” She concluded: “[To those] mean trolls you don’t know me, so don’t be mean. Come over for a glass of wine and then judge me all you want after u get to know me and my single momness;),” Kramer continued. “Okay rant over this isn’t relaxing. Choose kindness. Choose love. 😂.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  The Support the Girls actress opened up about her mindset post-split during a June 2021 Q&A, telling her fans the three things she wants from a relationship moving forward. “Trust, never gonna settle for that one again,” she explained. “Communication and kindness. Just respect. Be nice to each other.” When asked if things had gotten “easier” since the breakup, Kramer replied that some areas of her life had improved. “What’s easier is not having that, like, heaviness, and just feeling lighter and not always worrying and wondering,” she said. “I’m happier in that aspect, but it’ll always be hard saying bye to the kids, because again, that’s not what I ever imagined or wanted.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  The Christmas in Louisiana star got real about how she’s been coping with the “betrayal” of Caussin cheating on her during a separate June 2021 Instagram Q&A. “It’s not easy. It’s hard. That betrayal sits deep in you and there’s a lot of hate and a lot of anger,” she said. “Their actions essentially dictated your dreams, your hopes, your future and that’s painful.” Kramer noted that she is trying to get rid of the pain and anger because it “does nothing but hurt me and cause stress.” She concluded: “I don’t want to hurt anymore. So, [she asks herself], ‘How am I gonna get up from this? How am I going to regain my happiness?’ Don’t let them or their actions continue to bring you down. You’re worth more.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  When asked by a fan during the same Q&A what her “favorite” thing about this new chapter is, Kramer responded, “Just doing me. Figuring out what I like and what I don’t like. Kind of rediscovering myself. Creating a new energy, new beginnings.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  “Yeah, because I still believe in [marriage],” Kramer said in a June 2021 Instagram Q&A. “I don’t think I would have a wedding. I would just elope. Just me, the person, the kids on a beach somewhere with the sunset.” The mother of two, who has been married three times, explained that she only “truly” feels like she’s been married once and it was to Caussin. (Kramer was married to Michael Gambino from 2004 to 2005 before tying the knot again with Johnathon Schaech in 2010. The pair split after 12 days.) “That was a real marriage … not to defend [the other weddings, but] the first was when I was 19 and it was [by] Elvis, and no one knew until he tried to kill me,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself via her Instagram Story. “And the second was, like, a week. I hardly call any of those a marriage. What I do call a marriage is putting in the time to fight for it and I did that the last time. And one day I believe I’ll end up with the one I’ve always meant to be with. [Someone] to fight for and [who will] respect our marriage.” Courtesy Jana Kramer/Instagram  The “Beautiful Lies” singer revealed that she both regrets giving Caussin a second chance and is OK with doing so, saying, “I learned a lot about myself through this. I have two beautiful babies.” Kramer noted during her June 2021 Q&A that “not all second chances end like mine. I still believe a relationship could work again but there has to be two people fighting for themselves and their relationship.” Broadimage/Shutterstock  “I have arrived at my happy place,” Kramer captioned a series of photos from her native Michigan in July 2021. “Wasn’t sure how I would feel coming back after everything but it’s a happy place for a reason. No matter what it’s my special place so nothing can take away from that. It’s my breath of fresh air. My escape. Anytime I’m ever anxious I think of this place. And here I am.. feeling light and free. . #michigan #lakelife.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  "My issue is that I am drawn to people that will never fully love me because it’s something that I always want and, for some reason, I go to the people that I know, deep down, can never love me the way that I want to be loved," the actress said during the July 4 episode of her podcast. "My battle is I want to show and prove that I'm lovable and worthy enough and try to win that person. That’s my issue." She added: "If I loved myself enough, I never would have stayed after Mike cheated on me a month into our relationship. Never, because I would have known my worth." Matt Baron/Shutterstock  During the August 8 episode of her podcast, Kramer admitted that she writes down everything she'd like to say to her ex and it helps her during tough times. "There's times when, of course, I miss my ex. To be able to sit down and go, 'OK, yes, there were good moments here, but would I go back? Here's what I don't miss.' It's like, 'OK, I don't want to go back to that. This is healthier.'" Jack Plunkett/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  During the August 9 episode of Maria Menounos' "Better Together" podcast, Kramer admitted that she sometimes shares too much about her marriage. "There's a lot of things I really regret saying," the actress said. "That's honestly the reason I started talking about the infidelity piece of my marriage because I wanted to change the narrative. I'm like, 'My ex didn't understand,' and I was like, 'People will write about the fact you cheated on me in every article, let's change the narrative,' and be like, 'Hey, but this is how we survived it and how we got through it,' and obviously, we didn't end up [with that] positive tone." Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram  During an August 2021 Instagram Story Q&A, Kramer revealed her stance on rebuilding trust after cheating incidents and allegations. After one follower asked, “My husband cheated too, think trusting will get easier??,” the singer replied, “The bottom line is that he has to be consistent with telling the truth because if he continues to lie, if he continues to act out, it most likely wouldn’t work, but, um, if he does the work, you do the work and he’s honest [she gave a thumbs-up to the camera].” She also further dished on her “hardest” decision to end her marriage to Caussin, calling the emotional weight “heavy to carry.” Courtesy of Jana Kramer/Instagram Kramer said she wants to dip her toes back into the dating world. "I do feel like now I'm in a place where I kinda want to get back out there and date, slowly," she said on the August 29 episode of her podcast. "I'm open to it, knowing that I still have a lot of healing to do," she added. "I'm open to dating and not knowing who my person is and knowing that I don't have to be with someone, that I'm OK alone. ... I need them to check all the boxes." Broadimage/Shutterstock  The country artist sang about regretting a relationship in a new track she previewed via social media on August 30. "Could've avoided it all, every tear running down my cheek," Kramer sang. She continued, singing in a different clip, "The nicest thing you ever could of done was just keep walking. Could've stayed two strangers, why'd you mess it up with talking?" Courtesy Jana Kramer/Instagram  "I'm still in the grieving process of it," Kramer admitted on an August 2021 "Whine Down" podcast episode. "And when we talk, [Mike's] very much like, 'Get over it. This is our reality.' But I'm not there yet. ... There's no empathy in that. ... It feels very business-like." The actress was "struggling" with the coldness between her and her former spouse, she said. "I'm not that light switch that can be like, 'Oh yeah, this is our reality. I'm over it.' ... I never thought it would be, like, a business relationship like that." Matt Baron/Shutterstock  "Most of my DMs are people asking 'why wasn't I enough, my husband or partner cheated,'" Kramer shared in an August 2021 Instagram Story. "Listen, I get it. [This was] one of the hardest things I had to also walk through. But their actions are not because you aren't enough. It has NOTHING to do with you." The actress added, "Cheating is a choice. You didn't force them to do that. But what YOU can do now is look in the mirror, own your side and what you can do better next time and be healthy and happy for YOU." Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Kramer opened up even more about her healing process post-split, telling Entertainment Tonight in September 2021 that her heart is "pieced back together" instead of broken. "I've learned a lot and I'm still learning and I'm still growing and I'm still healing, but I'm definitely seeing the silver lining," she explained, noting that working on new music was a major help along the way. Paul A Hebert/Shutterstock  "I have my days, but I do know, in my core, in my healthy state, I do know that I am worthy and I can't wait to give somebody that love, that I know that I deserve, that I give as well, so most times I believe that, but it's hard," Kramer told ET while promoting her breakup song “Voices” in September 2021. "I do believe that there is someone out there that will see everything that I do, and I know I'm a great mom. I know I work really hard. I have a lot of love to give and I just hope that one day, that's cherished." The singer, who noted she’s "kissed a few frogs since divorce,” also played coy about her budding romance with Jay Cutler. "I've learned the lesson of being almost too open in my words," Kramer said. "I mean obviously I've said a lot of things on the podcast, ‘Whine Down,' and it kind of burned me with my last relationship, and I'm scared to talk about any relationship that isn't gonna … that I don't know, you know? So I just want to keep things close to me cause if not they will get so picked apart. I just wanna be careful about that 'cause I feel like I got really burned sharing too much of my last relationship, so I wanna keep things a little closer to my chest." Jason Bihler/Mega  Kramer released new single “Voices” in September 2021, in which she sings about her breakup with Caussin. “I’m done with voices in my head / Voices in my head / I know that I am enough / I am great / I am not broken / I am worthy of love,” she belts out in the track. The mother of two shared multiple videos rocking out to the song via her Instagram Story, before getting teary-eyed over the message in the lyrics. “Remembering where I was five months ago and how broken I felt,” she captioned one Instagram Story video. “Very full circle moment.” Kramer then pulled herself together before saying, “Ah, all the feels” and letting the track play in the background.

| Does Chrishell Benefit from Dating Boss Jason? Maya Says, 'It Doesn't Hurt' Posted: 06 Dec 2021 04:00 PM PST It's his call! Maya Vander got real about whether her boss Jason Oppenheim has started showing his girlfriend, Chrishell Stause, favoritism at work. "I got to be careful in my answer here … look, Chrishell, she had a great deal with real estate," Vander, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, December 3, while promoting season 4 of Selling Sunset. "I think she also put more effort into it, obviously. She moved from the valley to the hills — it’s his company and he can do whatever he wants to do." Vander, who announced in July that she is pregnant with her third child, explained that within the real estate business, "nobody has to give us any clients." She noted that Jason, who cofounded the Oppenheim Group with his brother, Brett Oppenheim, doesn't have any "obligation" to provide anyone on his team with clients.  "I feel like, it doesn’t hurt to [date the boss]," she said. "But at the end of the day, she does have good clients now that she built on her own. So whatever Jason decides to help here and then it's his call, it's his brokerage." Vander explained that she "can't complain," because she is handling the Miami cliental. "[Jason] did refer me to clients in Miami. So, I [have] to be appreciative of that and just do my own thing," she added.  Christine Quinn previously discussed Jason, 44, and Stause's relationship, telling TMZ in August that she personally thinks "there's a lot of favoritism involved" in the workplace. She noted that she hasn't seen it personally with the former soap opera star, 40, but she did see it with Mary Fitzgerald when she dated Jason. Stause and Jason went public with their romance in July while on a trip to Italy with some of their Selling Sunset costars and fellow real estate workers. "Chrishell and I became close friends and it has developed into an amazing relationship," Jason told Us at the time, confirming his status with the Kentucky native. "I care about her deeply and we're very happy together." Vander, for her part, told Us on Friday that although she "heard rumors" about them being a couple, she "didn't know for a fact" until they made it Instagram official in the summer.  "I found out like everybody else [on] social media because people were sending screenshots of the Instagram picture," the realtor said. "We were [on a] filming break, so when she came back to the office and we [were back together] I literally attacked her with so many questions 'cause I was just curious like, 'How on earth [did this happen]?'" Vander was adamant that she "didn't see it coming" and that Jason and Stause's romance is "not a PR stunt." She added: "They are really together and are very happy. … I’m sure the audience is curious to see that cause everybody wonders, 'Is this real.' But it is real." The Israel native explained that fans will see more of Jason and Stause's relationship on season 5 of the Netflix series, noting that she is rooting for them to make it for the long haul. "I want to say [yes], but it is Hollywood, so you never know [if they'll stay together]," she told Us. "They seem like they are very happy together, and I feel like they have the same long-term goals in [the] relationship. I think, eventually, they [will] maybe, [think about] marriage and kids, I would think." She added: "I didn’t hang out with them as a couple, so I cannot tell you, but I know that the chemistry is there for [them]." Season 4 of Selling Sunset is now streaming on Netflix.

| Stars Who've Claimed They've Had Supernatural Encounters Posted: 06 Dec 2021 03:50 PM PST They see dead people, too! Many celebrities have shared some spooky supernatural stories based on their encounters with the paranormal. Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt revealed that they had very strange experiences while living in the Playboy mansion with Hugh Hefner. "The mansion is a home that's very intriguing for so many reasons," Madison, who lived there from 2001 to 2008, detailed to Nylon in August 2021. "People talk about it being haunted. There's all these weird urban legends like trafficking tunnels. It takes on a life of its own." Marquardt, who lived in the mansion from 2002 to 2009, agreed that she could definitely feel “the nostalgia and the old energy” while living there. "I had little things happen," Marquardt said about her experience seeing a woman standing in the doorway of her closet. "She had long, black stringy hair, very pale, very thin. She was wearing a white T-shirt that was too big on her and black acid wash-y jeans. She was more modern-day and I feel like I recognized who she was." The Holly’s World alum added that she tried to “rationalize” the various encounters for a while until she finally accepted that these things would keep happening. "For me, it took a bunch of different experiences before I thought 'OK, there's something weird going on here.' I said I wish I had more proof it was real, and right away when I said that, her TV turned on by itself and the volume went all the way up," she detailed. Looking back on it afterward, Madison considered it a sign that something would occur when she was looking to be alone in the mansion. "I would go hide in that bathroom. It was the one place in the house where nobody would go, and sometimes the toilet would flush by itself, and I always thought that was kind of weird. It always came during these weird, introspective moments at the time," she added. "I don't know what they were trying to tell me." Lily Collins also reflected on how she found herself being “woken up by flashes of images,” while preparing for her role as Ted Bundy’s ex-girlfriend in the 2019 film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. “I didn’t feel scared — I felt supported,” Collins told The Guardian in May 2019. “I felt like people were saying. ‘We’re here listening. We’re here to support. Thank you for telling the story.'” Scroll down for more stories about stars encountering the unexpected:  During a December 2021 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Oscar winner claimed that her house is haunted by the ghost of a late movie star. “I grew up watching Westerns and I bought this house, and it was owned by a guy who did Westerns, so I must have been a fan of his,” she told the comedian. “I think he is my protector. I love him because he kind of sorts out the bad people that shouldn’t be there. He runs them out." The Ma actress said that visitors sometimes don't want to come back after staying with her, but she sees it as a test. “That’s how I know that they don’t belong there, because if you’re a person that belongs there, everybody is like, ‘Oh, your place is so welcoming, it’s so great,'" she explained. Spencer joked that the spectral presence gets upset when she's away from the home. “When I leave for a long time, he’s a little shady. The doors close, the lights go off when I turn them on," she continued. “I love my ghost. I just don’t want you bringing your ghost to my house. I don’t want anybody’s ghost thinking they can be friends with my ghost. Because my ghost can haunt me, but he doesn’t haunt me. We have boundaries.” Shutterstock  The "Ghost Magnet With Bridget Marquardt" podcast host claimed that she reconnected with the late Hugh Hefner in a dream. "I was standing there and then all of a sudden, I hear him coming down the stairs and he comes running down the stairs and his arms were open wide and he gave me what we used to call his big laugh and was like, 'Oh, my darling' and he gave me a big hug," she told E! News in October 2021. "I could feel his smoke in the satin on his smoking jacket. I could smell his cologne. It was just so, so real." Shutterstock  The reality TV star explained that she believed in ghosts after several instances of strange behavior.

"I couldn't breathe very well."

"I felt this sick, overwhelming feeling of negativity over the whole car and we smelled sulfur, which is the sign of a demon," she told Complex. Later, "weird things" would happen to Grande when she heard "whispers" one night in bed, along with "disturbing images with, like, red shapes" and this "massive black matter." Raymond Hall/GC Images  The singer claimed she had sex with a ghost while speaking to Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS FM show in September 2012. "I had a couple experiences with the supernatural," Kesha claimed. "I don't know his name! He was a ghost! I'm very open to it." Later, she told Rolling Stone that she had to undergo an exorcism. "I know it sounds like the most ridiculous story, but I went to my healer… and she told me that because of my job, I exude energy." In October 2021, the "Praying" singer announced that she's working on a new reality series tentatively titled Conjuring Kesha. According to her statement about the new show, Conjuring Kesha will follow her and her friends as they visit "paranormal hotspots" across the globe. "We will explore life’s great mysteries and aim to catch something never before seen on camera," she continued. "My hope is to show that supernatural isn’t just the thing of myths and fables. We’re embarking on a spiritual and cosmic exploration. Come with me to experience it all.” Frazer Harrison/Getty Images  The Amazing Spider-Man actress claimed in a July 2014 interview with David Letterman that her dead grandfather was haunting her and hilariously leaving her some pocket change. "My grandfather leaves quarters. It's just amazing," Stone claimed. "It's him! It's absolutely him!" She added that she had never met this late relative of hers. "It's exactly like that. It's that... But it's him! You guys, it's him." CBS  The Hobbit director recalled a terrifying experience from the '90s while he was filming Lord of the Rings on location in New Zealand. "One night I woke up and there was a figure in the room," Jackson recalled to The Daily Telegraph. "She was really scary - her face was like a silent scream. She glided across the room and disappeared into the wall." The Hollywood mastermind told his wife about it the next day and her response was even scarier: "She said, 'Was it the woman with a screaming face?' We had never spoken about it." Hagen Hopkins/Getty Images  "I felt this pressure and I couldn't get up, I couldn't scream, I couldn't talk, I couldn't do anything," the Sin City star said at a 2008 junket for her film The Eye. "Something definitely took the covers off me and I definitely couldn't get off the bed, and then, once I did, I screamed, ran to my parents' room and I don't think I spent many nights in that house ever again." Monty Brinton/CBS via Getty Images  The actor told Us Weekly that the crew of his 2014 horror flick, Deliver Us From Evil, experienced a haunting on set while shooting the movie. "I know for a fact the makeup, special effects team had some truly scary things occurring," Bana told Us. "They had a ghost in their workshop — there's absolutely no doubt... It got to the point where some of them would slip on the floor, they could no longer sleep there, there was no chance." Screen Gems/Courtesy Everett Collection  The designer recalled a terrifying incident related to her Greenwich, Connecticut estate on Celebrity Ghost Stories. "The feeling in the house was much more ghostlike," she said, adding that she would see "this sort of apparition in the corner of a room" of a lady wearing a scarf over her face. One holiday season, Rowley escaped a fire in the home. The local fire chief later told her that the woman who once owned the mansion was the Diamond Match heiress "who was badly burned" in a blaze. Kris Connor/FilmMagic  McConaughey was "freaked out" when he first saw an elderly female ghost one night in his home. "When I first moved in there, I had a tent and I put it up on the floor of the upstairs bedroom with my sleeping bag and my dog," he recalled to TeenHollywood.com in 2003. That night, he heard some strange noises including "a sound like a dime dropping from 10 feet off the ground onto a glass table." The actor ran "buck naked" but couldn't find the culprit. Gaz Shirley/Jennifer Buhl/PacificCoastNews.com  The Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum told the San Francisco Gate in 2003: "I have a ghost in my house… I don't think he died there because there's a law in L.A. that when you buy a house, if somebody's died there, they have to disclose that." Still, reasoned the actress, "He's very friendly. My friend saw him first one night. She said, 'I don't mean to alarm you but I just saw a man follow us out of the house.' And I said, 'Well, at least he's gentlemanly.'" Michael Tran/FilmMagic  The "I Dreamed a Dream" singer claimed in a 2011 interview with The Sun that she's seen her late mother's spirit. "Her energy is still there. I've actually seen my mother in the house," she told the British tabloid. "I think she was letting me know she was all right. There was a lovely smell." Matt Kent/WireImage.com  The Star Wars actress recalled the death of a close friend, a Republican operative named Greg Stevens, who overdosed in her mansion many years ago. "Lights would go on and off, and I had this toy machine, that when you touched it would say, 'F--k you! Eat s--t! You’re an a--hole!'" Fisher told Vanity Fair in 2006. "And it would go off in the night, by itself, in my closet." Eventually, Fisher's friends arranged an exorcist in the house. "And after that things were fine." Araya Diaz/Getty Images  The X-Files actress participated in a Reddit AMA, where she said she believes in an alternate universe and has even felt its presence. "I've definitely felt other spirits," she said. "I'm quite sensitive to it. And yes. But it's not something you can really talk about with too many people, especially not me." D Dipasupil/Getty Images  In the special disc set of her 2005 horror flick, The Skeleton Key, Hudson recalled a spooky supernatural story about a home in London once rented by her mom, Goldie Hawn. "I've seen ghosts plenty of times," Hudson said. "I've seen a ghost of a woman with no face, and that was really creepy." The actress later clarified her comments on a U.K. talk show. "[It's] a fifth energy," she said. "When you see something, you are supposed to tell the energy what year it is and that they don't belong." Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com  The singer claimed in an interview with Elle UK that she witnessed paranormal activity in a London apartment she rented in 2009. "One night, my little sister... was standing in the shower and all of a sudden, I hear her scream," she recalled. "I run in there and the water had somehow flipped to hot but it was still…" Cyrus, meanwhile, said she experienced a spooky bathroom experience herself. "I thought I had seen a little boy sitting on the sink watching me take a shower." Paul Drinkwater/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images  The Matrix actor admitted in an interview that he experienced a supernatural encounter as a young boy. "I was living in New Jersey when I saw and felt this ghost," Reeves recalled. "I remember just staring at this suit, which had no body or legs in it as it came into the room before disappearing. It was a double-breasted suit in white, and I looked at my nanny, who was just as shocked as me. I just couldn't get back to sleep afterwards, and I still see the figure in my dreams." Peter Kramer/NBC/NBC NewsWire  The late comedienne told Larry King that after moving in to her Manhattan apartment, she was always cold and her dog refused to enter the home. "You felt awful and scary, and things were locked that shouldn't be locked," she said. "I used to say, 'This is stupid. This is nonsense. There's a reason for this.' And then at one point you'd say, 'You cannot say that anymore. Something is going on here.'" The reason? "This lady had died in the apartment. And she just was angry." Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank  Washington Post political reporter Bob Woodward recalled a particular incident in his book, The Choice, from 1995 when then-First Lady Hillary Clinton consulted the spirit of Eleanor Roosevelt. According to Woodward, spiritual adviser Jean Houston was called to the White House to help Clinton reach out to the late lady Roosevelt, who spoke through the politico at one point. "'I was misunderstood,'" Clinton said at one point, as a conduit for Roosevelt. Michael Kovac/WireImage.com; Universal History Archive/Getty Images  Maroon 5's guitarist claimed he saw a ghost in the L.A. country home of Harry Houdini. "I was the only one who ever stayed there the entire time," Valentine said on A&E's Private Sessions in 2008, while the rest of his bandmates, including Adam Levine, refused. "One night, I was there with my girlfriend at the time and we were about to go to bed," he recalled. "She went upstairs.. There was a hallway that went up to the second and third floors and I saw somebody walk up... no one was there." Kevin Winter/Getty Images  The performer recalled a terrifying episode from when they were allegedly haunted on the Mack at Nite radio program. "I totally believe in ghosts," Lovato said, recollecting one horrifying incident from when they were 8 years old, involving their closet. "When I shut it," Lovato said on the show, "I saw a little girl. She was dressed like she was from the 1800s, and was standing in my closet." Debra L Rothenberg/FilmMagic  The American Idol season 10 house was a scary place, according to contestants. James Durbin told reporters in 2011 that he "saw something white that looked like an arm." The singer added that he and Pia Toscano were upstairs one day when "the doors flew open." Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP  The Grammy winner moved into a 10-bedroom, $6 million home in Sussex, England in 2012, but the home reportedly gave the singer a big scare. According to The Sun, the performer told a friend her home — which used to be a convent — gave her "the creeps" after she heard strange noises. The "Someone Like You" singer reportedly hired around-the-clock security personnel to help her sleep at night — in peace and safety. Gregg DeGuire/WireImage.com  The pop star told Harper's Bazaar UK that the ghost of Alexander McQueen helped her write her smash hit, "Born This Way," after his suicide. "I think he planned the whole thing," she said. "Right after he died, I wrote 'Born This Way.' I think he’s up in heaven with fashion strings in his hands, marionetting away, planning this whole thing." Kevin Winter/Getty Images |
| Not On the List! Why Blake Shelton Didn't Invite Adam Levine to His Wedding Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:41 PM PST That’s how you lose an invite. Adam Levine was not at Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani‘s July wedding, and the “God’s Country” singer jokingly revealed that his former rival on The Voice was cut from the guest list. “That’s the reason we didn’t invite him to the wedding is that interview he did on your show,” Shelton, 43, jokingly recalled on the December 6 episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “It’s like, ‘I’m not inviting him.'” The interview in question was an April sit-down Levine, 42, had with host Ellen DeGeneres. “I don’t support their marriage,” the Maroon 5 front man joked at the time with a smile. The “Beautiful Mistakes” singer added that he couldn’t believe the No Doubt front woman, 52, was marrying his former colleague, saying, “She’s so cool, and he’s not.” Levine, who appeared on The Voice alongside Shelton for 16 seasons until his 2019 exit, also quipped that he’d cause a scene at the wedding. “I’ll go to the wedding, and I’ll object,” the Grammy winner joked. “I will probably not be invited, now that I’m saying this on live television, but I’ll be there, somehow.” Did the snarky interview get him cut from the guest list? Would Levine have appeared if he didn’t joke about objecting? Shelton smirked, “Well, we’ll never know.” He stands by his choice too. “I purposely did not invite Adam Levine to my wedding — and I think it’s funny,” Shelton said. The bride and groom kept their guest list small for their big day. Shelton estimated that only about 30 people were present for the wedding, and that number includes people who were working at the ceremony (such as the planner and photographer). Shelton admitted he didn’t have much to do with planning his nuptials and allowed his “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” duet partner to decide all the details. “I was like ‘What do I know about any of that stuff?'” he explained to DeGeneres, 63. “It was all her idea, her vision. All I had to do was drink and kiss Gwen Stefani. My God, that’s the greatest gig I ever had.” Shelton and Stefani tied the knot on July 3 in Oklahoma at the country crooner’s ranch. The Voice host Carson Daly officiated the ceremony, and Stefani’s sons — Kingston, 15, Zuma,12, and Apollo, 7, whom she shares with ex Gavin Rossdale — were involved as well. "Her brother walked her down the aisle and the boys were included in the ceremony,” an insider told Us shortly after the performers exchanged vows. "Blake and Gwen both were emotional. Blake had tears in his eyes reciting his vows to Gwen and upon seeing her in the chapel he built for their love." Shelton was previously married to Miranda Lambert from 2011 to 2015. One month after their split, Stefani filed for divorce from Rossdale, after 14 years of marriage. The Voice coaches started each other dating three months later. |
| Kardashian-Jenner Family’s Biggest Controversies and Scandals Posted: 06 Dec 2021 02:02 PM PST All the drama! Over the years, the Kardashian-Jenner family has made headlines for the ups and downs that occurred in their personal and professional lives. Kim Kardashian‘s marriage to Kris Humphries went viral in 2011 after they called it quits 72 days after saying “I do.” Humphries filed for an annulment in November 2011, citing “fraud” as the reason. The following year, Humphries defended getting caught up in their whirlwind romance. "To me it was real," he said during an interview with Access Hollywood in February 2012. "I would never go through something and do something that wasn't real or I didn't believe in, so I can really only speak for myself in terms of that." The KKW beauty mogul, for her part, moved on with Kanye West in 2012 and went on to have four children with the musician. Kardashian filed for divorce in February 2021, after almost seven years of marriage. That same year, the reality star recalled knowing that her relationship with Humphries wasn’t going to work ahead of their nuptials. "I felt pressure, I thought I was going to let everyone down," the Skims founder said during the Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion in June 2021. "The show paid us, obviously, a fee to film the show. I took my entire fee and probably Kris' [fee] because I wanted a bigger wedding than what they were going to pay for. So I used all of our production money on the wedding. So, if that was, like, fake, I would have saved my money!" Kardashian noted that she "handled it totally the wrong way" when it came to how she addressed her relationship issues with her ex-husband. "He's very faith-based, and so, I'm sure he would have loved to not have marriage on his record," she added. "He wanted an annulment. The only legal way to get an annulment is if fraud is involved, so he marked fraud to get an annulment. So the whole world wondered, 'What is this fraud?' … If I was mature, I would have wanted the annulment too. I wish I was only married once." Kourtney Kardashian‘s romantic life has also had its fair share of rocky moments after she started dating Scott Disick in 2006. The duo, who share three children, called it quits in 2015 after the Flip It Like Disick star was photographed getting close with another woman. The California native later found happiness with longtime friend Travis Barker, with Us confirming that the pair were dating in January 2021. Disick went on to make headlines when he allegedly texted Younes Bendjima, who dated Kourtney from 2016 until 2018, about the public PDA between the KUWTK alum and the drummer. "Yo is this chick ok!????? Brooo like what is this. In the middle of Italy," Disick wrote to the model alongside a photo of Kourtney and Barker kissing in August 2021. In the screenshots, Bendjima replied, writing, "Don't matter to me as long as she's happy. PS: i aint your bro." The comments came two months after Disick said that he supported his ex-girlfriend’s new romance. "I think if you really love somebody, right, you want them to be happy no matter what. So I do give her a blessing to be happy," the New York native told Andy Cohen during the Keeping Up With the Kardashians reunion in June 2021. Scroll down to revisit all of the Kardashian-Jenner family’s biggest controversies and scandals through the years:  The clan’s long-running E! reality series, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, premiered just a few months after Kim’s sex tape with Ray J leaked online. “I’m not naïve to that fact that that’s pretty much how I was introduced to the world,” Kim said in a June 2012 interview. “It was a negative way, so I felt like I really had to work 10 times harder to get people to see the real me. I felt humiliated.” Stefanie Keenan/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images  Kylie came under fire as a teenager for getting lip injections to enhance her pout. She revealed in a September 2017 episode of Life of Kylie that she decided to modify her appearance after a former boyfriend told her, “I didn’t think you would be a good kisser because you have such small lips.” Years later, she launched her own makeup line, Kylie Cosmetics, which generated $420 million in retail sales in its first 18 months and eventually made her a billionaire. Vivien Killilea/Getty Images  Kim’s union with the NBA player crumbled after just 72 days, which led some fans to question whether it was a made-for-TV relationship, specifically in wake of the two-part E! special Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event. But Kim clarified in a May 2017 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen that she knew the marriage was doomed from the beginning. “I just thought, ‘Holy s--t, I’m 30 years old. I better get this together. I better get married,’” she recalled. Kevin Winter/NBCUniversal/Getty Images  Kourtney and Disick called it quits on their nine-year relationship in July 2015 after he was spotted cozying up to his ex-girlfriend Chloe Bartoli on a yacht in the South of France. “Kourtney is freaking out and kicked him out again,” a source told Us Weekly at the time. “She can’t believe he’d be so stupid to embarrass her and be photographed all over Chloe.” David Becker/WireImage  The former NBA player admitted to cheating on Kardashian with several women during their 2009 to 2016 marriage. "I [was] genuinely blown away. Like, ‘When did he fit that in?’ I don’t know,” Khloé said in a January 2016 interview with Howard Stern. Meanwhile, Odom told Us exclusively in March 2017, “Bitches and THOTs came out of the woodwork. If there is one thing I regret when I was married, it was having multiple affairs with different women. That wasn’t the stand-up thing to do. I wish I could have kept my d--k in my pants.” Michael Buckner/Getty Images  Kris Jenner’s only son found himself in hot water after he posted several nude photos of his ex-fiancée on Instagram and Twitter in July 2017, in addition to accusing her of using drugs and being unfaithful during their relationship. Chyna was granted a temporary restraining order against him soon after. The exes reached a custody agreement over their daughter, Dream, that September. Gabriel Olsen/WireImage  The model faced backlash for a protest-themed Pepsi commercial that aired in April 2017. Social media users claimed the ad trivialized social movements such as Black Lives Matter in an attempt to sell soda. Pepsi pulled the commercial and issued an apology, while Jenner told Vogue in March 2018 that her “intention was not to hurt anyone.”  The sisters were criticized when their clothing line, Kendall + Kylie, began selling vintage shirts featuring images of late rappers Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur in June 2017. “The disrespect of these girls to not even reach out to me or anyone connected to the estate baffles me,” Biggie’s mom, Voletta Wallace, wrote on Instagram at the time. A photographer who shot one of the images filed a lawsuit against the Jenners, but it was dropped in April 2018. Mal Fairclough/AFP/Getty Images  The social media mogul issued an apology after many Twitter users called her Aaliyah Halloween costume “offensive” in October 2017. “Aaliyah was such an amazing singer and she will forever be a music legend. I saw online that some people thought my costume was in poor taste and I am truly sorry if that offended anyone,” Kim wrote on her website. “We don’t see color in my home. We were paying homage to people and artists we love and respect — it’s that simple!” Courtesy Kim Kardashian/Snapchat  After fans accused Kim of darkening her skin in promotional images for her KKW Beauty products, she told The New York Times, “I would obviously never want to offend anyone. I used an amazing photographer and a team of people. I was really tan when we shot the images, and it might be that the contrast was off. But I showed the image to many people, to many in the business. No one brought that to our attention. No one mentioned it.” Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images  Multiple photos and videos surfaced online in April 2018 of the Cleveland Cavaliers player kissing and getting physical with other women. Khloé was nine months pregnant with their daughter, True, at the time. A source close to Thompson told Us exclusively, “None of his friends are surprised by this and they all know he cheats.” Jerritt Clark/Getty Images  The KKW Beauty founder was involved in her estranged husband's feud with Drake in December 2018. "Never threaten my husband or our family," she tweeted at the time. Days later, the "Gold Digger" rapper discovered that the "In My Feelings" MC was following Kardashian on Instagram. "It’s the most f—ked up thing of all," Ye wrote on Twitter. "Imagine having a problem with somebody and they follow your wife on Instagram. Who’s [sic] bright idea was it to tell Drake to follow my wife on Instagram ? This person is not [Drake’s] friend.” Drake and West seemingly squashed their issues following a friendly reunion in November 2021. Dominik Bindl/Getty Images; DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/AFP/Getty Images  Disick caused a stir when he posted a photo in January 2019 of himself and his daughter eating at a Japanese restaurant together. “Best date of 2019," he captioned the snapshot. Penelope was pulling at her eyes in the image, which many people took as being offensive. An Instagram user wrote, "Teach her not to do the Chinese eye thing at a sushi restaurant. Don’t teach her to be a racist. Cause that’s what’s gonna happen." Scott Barbour/Getty Images  The social media mogul sparked ire from fans when she posted a now-deleted video showcasing free goods she received from Dolce & Gabbana to her Instagram Stories in January 2019. Followers were outraged by the post, with many pointing out that the controversial brand has come under fire multiple times over the years, most notably for a 2015 interview with Italian magazine Panorama in which designing duo Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce referred to IVF babies as "chemical offsprings" and "synthetic children.” (The Selfish author became pregnant with her second child, Saint, via IVF.). Dolce later apologized for his "inappropriate" words. Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic  The Revenge Body host called it quits on her two-plus-year relationship with the NBA player in February 2019 after he was caught cheating with Kylie’s BFF Jordyn Woods at a party. “Khloé feels so betrayed,” a source told Us exclusively. “This time it hurts even more because the person who it was with is someone who knows very much what Khloé has gone through in the past year.” A second insider said that Thompson is “just a cheater and doesn’t care about anyone besides himself, his wants and his needs in the moment.” Us confirmed that Thompson and Khloé were dating again in August 2020 after being in quarantine together during the coronavirus pandemic. They called it quits less than a year later. Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images; Jason Miller/Getty Images; Paras Griffin/Getty Images for E11EVEN Miami and Bootsy Bellows  In May 2020, fans accused Khloé of looking “unrecognizable” in a series of photos shared via Instagram. She later joked that she gets “weekly face transplant[s].” Courtesy of Khloé Kardashian/Instagram  After naming Kylie “youngest self-made billionaire” in the world in 2019 and 2020, Forbes recalculated her finances and alleged that Kylie Cosmetics sales were “significantly smaller than people have been led to believe.” The magazine claimed Kylie and members of her team had lied about company figures and forged tax returns to “look even richer.” Kylie disputed the 2020 “Inside Kylie Jenner’s Web of Lies” report, tweeting, “I’ve never asked for any title or tried to lie my way there EVER. period. ... i am blessed beyond my years, i have a beautiful daughter, and a successful business and i'm doing perfectly fine.” Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The Yeezy designer made headlines in July 2020 during his first campaign rally in South Carolina after he said that he and Kim almost aborted their first child, North. A source told Us that the Skims founder was “deeply upset with Kanye for talking about their personal life and for making matters that are very personal to them and their family public.” West then made several accusations against Kim and her family via Twitter. He claimed that the reality star tried to get him locked up and that he had been “trying to get divorced” from Kim for two years. The rapper later apologized for the rant, but the couple’s relationship continued to struggle. Six months later, Us confirmed that Kim and West had been “living separate lives for many months” and that the mother of four was “done dealing with Kanye’s unpredictable behavior.” Kim filed for divorce one month later in February 2021 after six years of marriage. MEGA  Kim came under fire in October 2020 after sharing photos from a family trip to an undisclosed private island to celebrate her 40th birthday amid the COVID-19 pandemic. “I realize that for most people, this is something that is so far out of reach right now, so in moments like these, I am humbly reminded of how privileged my life is,” she tweeted at the time. Courtesy Kim Kardashian/Instagram  After Khloé shared a bikini pic in July 2021, Odom and Thompson both left various flirty comments that included heart emojis in her comments. The Canada native later returned to add a threat which referred to Odom's overdose in 2015, writing, "@lamarodom God brought you back the first time. Play if you want, different results 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️.” The Khloé & Lamar alum responded by retweeting a video with the caption, “NBA Twitter watching Tristan Thompson pretend to act tough on Lamar Odom.” He later addressed the situation explaining that "it could have really turned ugly" between the twosome. “He made a mistake by saying it. I’m not going to say he’s stupid, but he don’t know me," Odom said during an appearance on “The Megan Pormer Show” at the time. "I mean, if I got rattled or bothered by the words that someone said about me, my armor’s built up to deflect that. I wish him the best.” Shutterstock (3)  In August 2021, Bendjima put Disick on blast when he shared a shady text that he allegedly received from the Talentless cofounder about their mutual ex. Although Disick never addressed the scandal, a source told Us that Disick's relationship with the Poosh founder is "more strained than ever." “What's really got him riled up is the effect Travis and Kourtney's relationship is having on his relationship with Kourtney," the insider added at the time. "[Scott's] worried that she’s going to try to put a wedge between him and the kids." Disick called it quits from girlfriend Amelia Gray Hamlin one month later.

According to the July 2021 court documents, the professional basketball player acknowledged having sex with Nichols several times earlier that year. Thompson, who had called it quits with Khloé again in June, was with the reality star when he hooked up with Nichols. After the court filing, Thompson ordered genetic testing and allegedly wrote in several text messages to Nichols that he didn't plan to be involved in the child's life. Us confirmed at the time that Nichols welcomed the baby and that Khloé was aware of the pregnancy before it made headlines. "This is a very sad time for Khloé. She really loves Tristan and still held a candle for him. She thought he might have changed his ways," a source exclusively told Us amid the scandal.

| Kardashian Family Has Been ‘Supportive’ of Khloe Amid Tristan Paternity Drama Posted: 06 Dec 2021 01:36 PM PST Leaning on her loved ones. Khloé Kardashian's family has been there for her after news broke about Tristan Thompson's paternity scandal earlier this month, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. "[They] have been very supportive to her," the insider says, noting, "Even though Khloé is hurt, she's staying strong and trying to move forward." The source adds that the Good American cofounder, 37, and the basketball star, 30, have been broken up for "many months and have been coparenting together" since the split. Kardashian and Thompson share daughter True, 3. "Khloé's family is supportive of her, but they are there for both Khloé and for Tristan," the insider explained. "They're both True's parents and the family is supportive of both."  Thompson is being sued by Maralee Nichols for child support, Us confirmed on Friday, December 3. The personal trainer, 31, claims that the Sacramento Kings player is the father of her newborn child following a brief romance earlier this year. Us exclusively broke the news on Friday that Nichols welcomed her baby on Thursday, December 2, and her rep later confirmed to Us that she had a boy. The fitness instructor and the NBA star originally spent time together in March as Thompson celebrated his birthday. At the time, the Canada native was in a relationship with Kardashian. (Us confirmed in June that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum had split from Thompson after rekindling their romance in August 2020.) Nichols went to doctor's appointments in April and May, the first of which cost $518 and Thompson paid, according to court documents obtained by Us. Thompson, for his part ordered genetic testing in July before filing a second petition in a Texas court last month in order to determine paternity. The athlete also acknowledged having sex with the trainer several times in court docs obtained by Us. In August, Nichols presented a series of alleged text messages from Thompson after her lawyer urged the court to bring him in for a deposition earlier that month.  "My feelings haven't changed at all. [I] won't be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It's completely wrong," the former Cleveland Cavaliers player allegedly wrote. "You are aware that I'm retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who's unemployed. All you will have is a baby with a father who has zero involvement with the child and a few hundred dollars of child support a month." Thompson is already the father of two children, True, whom he shares with Kardashian and son Prince, 4, whom he welcomed with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig in December 2016. The basketball player split from Craig, 30, earlier that year and began dating Kardashian in April 2016. While Craig questioned the timing of his relationship with Kardashian, both Thompson and the Revenge Looks Better Naked author denied there was any cheating at the start of their romance. Thompson, however, was caught cheating on multiple occasions while dating Kardashian. The duo split in February 2019 after he was seen kissing Jordyn Woods. Us exclusively confirmed in August 2020 that they rekindled their romance, but they parted ways a second time in June. "This is a very sad time for Khloé," the source said amid Thompson’s latest scandal. "Khloé now knows that Tristan was unfaithful to her when they were back together." |
| Tristan Thompson's Messy Paternity Suit: Everything We Know Posted: 06 Dec 2021 01:28 PM PST Off-court drama. Tristan Thompson‘s personal life got a lot more complicated in 2021 when a woman named Maralee Nichols claimed he fathered her child. News broke in December 2021 that the personal trainer filed a paternity lawsuit against the NBA star earlier in the year. The baby was reportedly conceived in Houston, Texas, in March while Thompson was in town celebrating his 30th birthday. At the time, the Canadian athlete was still in a relationship with Khloé Kardashian, with whom he shares daughter True, born in April 2018. Thompson and the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum began dating in September 2016, but the duo split up in February 2019 after the Sacramento Kings player kissed Jordyn Woods. After reconciling in August 2020, the pair called it quits a second time in June 2021. “They remain amicable toward each other and will continue to coparent,” a source told Us at the time, adding that "there was no drama" between the twosome before their breakup. "Things just didn't work out." After their split, the Good American founder and the former Cleveland Cavaliers team member remained amicable, but an insider told Us that Nichols’ lawsuit caused a huge setback in their relationship. "This is a very sad time for Khloé,” the source explained in December 2021. “She really loves Tristan and still held a candle for him. She thought he might have changed his ways.” Before their split, the twosome were considering having a second child together. (Thompson is also father to son Prince, born in December 2016, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig.) During season 20 of KUWTK, the Strong Looks Better Naked author revealed that she and her then-boyfriend were considering surrogacy. "[My doctor] said that I would be, like, a high-risk carrier for a pregnancy," Kardashian said in an episode that aired in March 2021. "I'm not gonna get into specifics on camera, but they said it's an 80 percent chance I'll miscarry. I almost miscarried with True at the beginning. But I didn't know that was a lingering thing. … She said she would feel terrible putting [an embryo] in without warning me that most likely I wouldn't be able to carry." Seven months later, the reality star said again that she still hadn’t ruled out having another baby. “I want her to have a sibling,” the former Revenge Body host tweeted in October 2021. “If it’s God’s plan.” Keep scrolling for everything to know about the paternity suit against Thompson:  In June 2021, Nichols filed a paternity suit in Texas against Thompson, claiming that the duo conceived a child three months earlier. According to court documents, Nichols attended two doctor's appointments in April and May, the first of which cost $518 and was paid for by Thompson. The athlete did not pay for the second appointment, which cost $572. Mark Duncan/AP/Shutterstock  Thompson responded to Nichols' claims in July 2021, acknowledging that the pair had sex in March of that year. The former Boston Celtics player also requested genetic testing for the baby in documents submitted in Texas, where Nichols was based. (She had temporarily been living in California at the time.) Photographer Group/MEGA  In another court filing in August 2021, Nichols' legal team presented text messages allegedly from Thompson. “You know how I feel," a screenshot of the message read. "My feelings haven’t changed at all. [I] won’t be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It’s completely wrong. You are aware that I’m retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who’s unemployed.” Later in the message, Thompson allegedly offered Nichols $75,000 instead of regular child support. “It’s texas so it will be only a couple hundred dollars," the message read. "So you better off taking this 75k I’m offering cause you won’t get nothing near that with having a kid with a father who’s unemplyed [sic] All you will have is a baby with a father who has zero involvement with the child and a few hundred dollars of child support a month.” Courtesy of Tristan Thompson/Instagram  Thompson filed an amended petition in November 2021, once again asking for a paternity test. One month earlier, he submitted to a deposition, but Nichols' team described his conduct as "improper," adding that he gave "evasive" responses to questions. "Tristan refused to answer basic questions relating to jurisdictional issues between California and Texas, and counsel for Tristan further instructed him not to answer related questions on dozens of occasions," the documents read. Brian To/Shutterstock  In December 2021, Us exclusively confirmed that Nichols gave birth on December 2. Nichols' rep later confirmed that she welcomed a baby boy. Neither Thompson nor Kardashian publicly acknowledged the news. Courtesy of Tristan Thompson/Instagram  After news of the paternity suit broke in December 2021, Kardashian shared a couple of cryptic messages via social media. “I just don’t have time for negative energy and even when I do, I still don’t,” one of the quotes read. “You are currently living at least one of the prayers you used to pray,” added another. She later shared a photo of pink roses sent to her by Scott Disick. “Khloé now knows that Tristan was unfaithful to her when they were back together," a source told Us at the time. “This is a very sad time for Khloé."

| Vanderpump Rules' Raquel Leviss and James Kennedy: The Way They Were Posted: 06 Dec 2021 12:27 PM PST What once was. After James Kennedy spent three seasons caught up between Kristen Doute and newcomer Lala Kent, many Vanderpump Rules fans were shocked when he introduced his serious girlfriend Raquel Leviss in 2016. The twosome quickly had their relationship put to the test amid multiple resurfaced cheating allegations. After a SUR employee accused Kennedy of sleeping with her while he was in a relationship, the professional DJ opened up about having Leviss stand by him during the Bravo series. “Obviously, I understand all the rumors and drama and everything that’s happened on the show. You know we’ve basically gone through it together and I felt like these girls went to the end of the Earth to try and ruin my relationship,” he told Bravo about the claims that he was unfaithful in March 2017. “But we’ve stuck through everything and we love each other. But that’s what makes relationships stronger is going through hard times and good times.” Kennedy and Leviss’ romance continued to face its challenges as the U.K. native attempted to get sober. In July 2020, the reality star celebrated one year of sobriety and credited Leviss with helping him reach the milestone. “Letting go of drinking was the best decision I ever made and I'm going strong,” he wrote via Instagram at the time. “I don't miss the booze …… I don't miss the feeling …. I'm so grateful for everything now and life has become more beautiful in many ways. Thank you to my rock @raquelleviss for getting me here I couldn't of done this without you my love.” As filming started for season 9 of Vanderpump Rules, the couple announced that they had gotten engaged with a Coachella-themed proposal in May 2021. One month later, Lisa Vanderpump discussed how the pair have grown over the years. “[Raquel] is the best thing that ever happened to him,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared during an interview with Entertainment Tonight in June 2021, one month after filming began. “You really do see Raquel kind of blossoming, blooming. You see her really having a voice. She was very much, like, a deer caught in the headlights before, but now she’s, like, actually kind of really comes out of a shell.” Two months after their proposal aired on VPR in October 2021, the former pageant contestant and the musician took to social media to confirm the end of their engagement. “After these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement,” the exes wrote in identical Instagram statements in December 2021. “We love each other very much, but we aren't in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love.” Scroll down for a look back at Kennedy and Leviss’ romance:  The duo originally met during a New Year's Eve party in 2016. They made their relationship Instagram official one month later when they celebrated Valentine's Day together.

The November 2016 debut marked one of five episodes that Leviss would appear in that season. Gregory Pace/Shutterstock  During a January 2017 episode of VPR, Leviss was approached by several SUR waitresses who claimed that they had slept with Kennedy in the past. "I was so surprised to see GG and Ellie there, honestly," the California native told the Daily Dish about the confrontation. "Why are you here? To harass us? I don't deal with drama well ... Once GG gave that slap, I was outta there." Jim Ruymen/UPI/Shutterstock  The Bravo couple moved in together in November 2018. Ovidiu Hrubaru/Shutterstock  During an interview with Us in June 2019, Kennedy admitted that he could see himself proposing to his girlfriend soon. “You know, I don't like rushing that cause we’re, like, 10 years younger than everyone else on the show, but I love her so much," he gushed. “Me and Raquel are super great. We're super happy together. She’s the love of my life. I love her.” Rob Latour/Shutterstock  As the former SUR busser found himself at odds with most of his coworkers, a source told Us in March 2020 that his girlfriend "is feeling a lot of pressure to side with the girls because she knows how James’ behavior can be and because she's new to SUR." According to the insider, “Raquel wishes James would show the side of himself that she gets one-on-one more.” Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  "THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, said yes. 💍 💕," Kennedy wrote alongside a photo of him taking a selfie kissing his bride-to-be in May 2021. Leviss shared her own post about the weekend in Palm Springs, writing, "James proposed at the iconic Empire Polo Fields of “RACHELLA” Friday night... and I said YES! I’m over the Coachella moon ✨🌵🌙 #RACHELLA." Courtesy Raquel Leviss/Instagram  One day after the season 9 reunion for Vanderpump Rules was filmed in December 2021, the exes announced their decision to part ways. A source told Us at the time that “James and Raquel [will] discuss their split” during the reunion special. Rob Latour/Shutterstock  The Sonoma State University alum documented her packing process shortly after her breakup. In several Instagram Story videos, Leviss showed a U-Haul full of boxes that were taken to a storage unit. “As my dad says … my new home,” she captioned a boomerang clip of her closing the door on her storage area.

| Rumor Patrol! Chrishell Stause Clarifies Claim She Was Born in Gas Station Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:37 AM PST Putting the rumors to rest! Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause said the story behind her unique name has been misconstrued. “It's so funny. I was not born in a Shell station,” Stause, 40, told Vulture in an interview published on Sunday, December 5. “I hate to disappoint people that think I was.” Born Terrina Chrishell Stause, the real estate agent has always gone by her middle name, which was created by her mother after she went into labor at a Shell gas station. “My mom was getting car work done, and an attendant at the station was helping her and keeping her calm,” the Kentucky native explained. “Obviously she couldn't drive to the hospital then, so the ambulance came.”  The story, which was told on Selling Sunset season 1, has been misconstrued. The Netflix reality star clarified that her mom “made it to the hospital” in time to deliver her, thanks to the emergency responders. “But she wanted to name me after [the gas station attendant],” she explained. “He worked at the Shell station, so she just thought ‘Chris, shell’ — let's stick them together. And you know, Chrishell was born, quite literally.” Last year, the All My Children alum went through a legal name change amid her divorce from Justin Hartley, who she married in October 2017. Her maiden name was restored in July 2020, six months before the split was finalized. After her divorce, the actress found love in the office with Jason Oppenheim, who co-owns The Oppenheim Group, the real estate brokerage at the center of Selling Sunset. The company cofounder, 44, recently told Us Weekly that he’s very much in love with his Netflix costar, but they wanted to keep their relationship private in the early stages. "I think when [a relationship is] public, it puts a lot of just added pressures and publicity and opinion," Oppenheim exclusively told Us. "I think it's nice to kind of start a relationship in the way that normal relationships kind of grow and progress. And that's just between two people."  The California native added that Stause made the call to keep their relationship off camera in Selling Sunset season 4, which started streaming last month. However, fans will get to see their romance in the fifth season, which will debut in 2022. "I think that we were both more comfortable with that approach, and I liked that. I followed her lead on things, and I respected her decision making on that," he added. "I think that that's the right approach for anyone." Selling Sunset season 4 is now streaming on Netflix. |
| Khloe Kardashian ‘Hurt’ Over Tristan Thompson Cheating, Paternity Drama Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:07 AM PST  Having a tough time. Khloé Kardashian is struggling amid Tristan Thompson‘s paternity drama with Maralee Nichols, who is suing the athlete for child support and claiming that the pair share a child. “This is a very sad time for Khloé. She really loves Tristan and still held a candle for him. She thought he might have changed his ways,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly amid the scandal. “Khloé now knows that Tristan was unfaithful to her when they were back together.” Thompson, 30, and Nichols, 31, originally spent time together in March as he celebrated his birthday. At the time, he was still dating the 37-year-old Good American cofounder, with whom he shares 3-year-old daughter, True. The athlete ordered genetic testing back in July before filing an amended petition in a Texas court last month, once again asking for a paternity test. He has also acknowledged having sex with the trainer in court docs obtained by Us. Us exclusively broke the news that the personal trainer welcomed her baby on Thursday, December 2, and her rep later confirmed to Us that she gave birth to a son. In the documents, Nichols stated that she’s suing the basketball player for child support. In text messages allegedly from Thompson, he stated, “My feelings haven't changed at all. [I] won't be involved at all. Btw if you think having this baby is gonna make you some money. It's completely wrong. You are aware that I'm retiring after this season. So in terms of support it will be whatever is required monthly for someone who's unemployed.” The texts continued, “All you will have is a baby with a father who has zero involvement with the child and a few hundred dollars of child support a month."
Kardashian and Thompson have had many ups and downs throughout their relationship, which began in 2018. Shortly before welcoming True, the NBA star was caught cheating with multiple women, but the pair stayed together. The reality star called off the romance in February 2019 after he kissed Kylie Jenner‘s then-best friend, Jordyn Woods. In August 2020, they reconciled after quarantining together during the COVID-19 pandemic, with a source telling Us at the time that she was “hopeful” he had changed for the better. However, they called off the romance less than one year later in June. “Khloé's family has all rallied around her and have been very supportive to her,” the first insider says. “Even though Khloé is hurt, she's staying strong and trying to move forward. Khloé did know about the baby before the news broke, it was very hard for her to hear.” Thompson also shares son Prince, 4, with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig. |
| Inside Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott's Bond as They Prepare for Baby No. 2 Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:01 AM PST  The final stretch! As the status of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott‘s relationship makes headlines, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly that the duo are focused on the arrival of their second child. “Kylie and Travis have been laying low at home together, getting final preparations together for the arrival of their baby,” the insider notes. “Travis has been very supportive the entirety of the pregnancy, but now he's spending even more time with Kylie as a family.” Jenner, 24, and Scott, 30, who previously welcomed daughter Stormi, are “leaning on each other” as they spend quality time with their loved ones. According to the source, the beauty mogul is “really enjoying this time with her family right now,” adding, “Kylie truly loves nothing more than being at home, running her business and hanging out with Stormi.” The reality star and the musician originally started dating in April 2017 and secretly welcomed their first child together the following year. "I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark through all the assumptions," Jenner wrote alongside a lengthy Instagram video documenting her pregnancy in February 2018. "I understand you're used to me bringing you along on all my journeys. My pregnancy was one I chose not to do in front of the world. I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free and healthy way I knew how. There was no gotcha moment, no big paid reveal I had planned. I knew my baby would feel every stress and every emotion, so I chose to do it this way for my little life and our happiness." Although Jenner and Scott decided to go their separate ways after two years of dating, a second source told Us at the time that the twosome were focused on Stormi.  "Kylie and Travis are coparenting amazingly right now and love spending time together with Stormi and making her happy," an insider shared with Us in October 2020, one year after their split. "Travis is a hands-on, super engaged dad and always wants to make Stormi smile. She is such a happy child." The pair sparked reconciliation rumors earlier this year, with multiple sources confirming to Us in August that they were expecting baby No. 2. "She has been trying for almost two years to get pregnant," an insider shared with Us. "She has always wanted another kid close to Stormi's age.” One month later, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum confirmed the news in an Instagram video that highlighted her sharing the news with Stormi and her mother, Kris Jenner. Ahead of their little one’s arrival, Khloé Kardashian addressed her little sister’s relationship status with the rapper after an unpublished W Magazine cover story claimed that they “are not a couple and haven't been in two years." The December magazine cover was reportedly pulled following the Astroworld concert tragedy in November, according to TMZ and Page Six. After leaked photos from the photo shoot went viral, Kardashian, 37, replied on Instagram on Sunday, December 5, writing, "Wow, I don't know why this magazine would write this. But they are very much a couple." With reporting by Travis Cronin |
| ‘Uncomfortable’! Chris Noth Talks Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall Feud Posted: 06 Dec 2021 11:00 AM PST Mr. Big has Carrie's back! Chris Noth weighed in on the rumored feud between his former Sex and the City costars Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall — and he's choosing sides. In an interview with The Guardian on Sunday, December 5, the 67-year-old was asked why he thought Cattrall, 65, didn't take part in the SATC revival, And Just Like That. "I have to tell you, I have absolutely no idea what her thinking is, or her emotions," he said. "I do know that I'm very close with SJ and [Cattrall's] descriptions of her don't even come close." The Law & Order alum continued, "I liked [Cattrall], I thought she was marvelous in the show and some people move on for their own reasons. I don't know what hers were. I just wish that whole thing had never happened because it was sad and uncomfortable." Noth explained that he doesn't like to "see anyone talking down about SJ because she's a target and people can be nasty. He continued, adding, "I feel very protective of her and I was not happy about that. That's all I'll say about that." Cattrall and Parker, 56, were rumored to be at odds while working together on the iconic HBO series, which ran from 1998 to 2004. The ladies reportedly had a big falling out in the show's final season when Parker was paid considerably more than Cattrall. This dispute over money also allegedly caused delays in production of the two Sex and the City films in 2008 and 2010.  The stars long denied that there was any animosity between them — but, in 2018, Cattrall accused Parker of being "cruel" after she shared her condolences for the Canadian American actress following the death of her brother, Christopher. "Let me make this VERY clear. (If I haven't already) You are not my family. You are not my friend," Cattrall wrote via Instagram in February of that year. "So I'm writing to tell you one last time to stop exploiting our tragedy in order to restore your 'nice girl' persona." Later that same year, Parker once again denied that there was bad blood between her and the Ice Princess actress. "If one more person calls this a catfight … I'm not in a fight," she told Extra in October 2018. "I never fought with Kim. I don't have to send any gifts to Kim, because I've never done anything." The Hocus Pocus 2 star added, "She has felt perfectly comfortable to say lots of things. That's the beauty of living in a democracy, but I have no apologies, meaning, this isn't a catfight. This is someone who chose to talk about something, and myself, I remain grateful for her work and the role she played on and off camera for all the years we spent together." Two years later, Cattrall doubled down on her comments. "Everything is on Google. So, I encourage you to Google it about anything that I've said," she told the Los Angeles Times in September 2020. "I feel that that was then, and when I look at what's going on around me, I just don't have any regrets." While Noth is set to appear in HBO Max's Sex and the City spinoff, And Just Like — showrunner Michael Patrick King revealed that Cattrall was never a factor in the show. "And Just Like That was never four [characters]," King, 67, told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, December 4. "I never thought, 'Oh, there's a hole I have to fill.' Samantha doesn't not exist in their lives. [And Just Like That] was born of these three characters: What's their life, and who can I bring in to inform it?" The 2 Broke Girls cocreator also revealed that the SATC sister series will offer something new for fans of the old show, noting, "This isn't what was; it's what's next." The first two episodes of And Just Like That start streaming on HBO Max Thursday, December 9, with the next eight being released each subsequent Thursday. |
| Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson's Relationship Timeline Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:50 AM PST Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson welcomed their first child — a baby girl named True — in April 2018, and now Us Weekly is looking back over their whirlwind romance, including a cheating scandal that broke two days before the arrival of their daughter. The Good American designer and the Cleveland Cavaliers player sparked romance rumors in August 2016 and made their first appearance as a couple the next month while celebrating Flo Rida's birthday party at LIV in Miami. Kardashian has spoken candidly in the past about her and Thompson's desire to have a big family. "He wants to have, like, five or six kids with me, and that's lovely," she said on the season 13 finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. "We could start at one and then grow from there. But now, knowing I'm on birth control, it's really scary. It's like a really big step." Less than year after Thompson was caught cheating on Kardashian with several different women during her pregnancy, multiple sources told Us Weekly that the basketball player was spotted "making out" with Kylie Jenner's best friend Jordyn Woods in February 2019. (Thompson seemingly denied the accusations by tweeting and deleting "FAKE NEWS.") An insider confirmed to Us the same day the cheating scandal broke that Kardashian and Thompson had called it quits after more than two years together. However, the duo ultimately decided to give their romance another try; Us confirmed in August 2020 that they were back together.

He came to the dinner, cause I didn’t want to go on a blind date, so Brandon kind of ambushed the blind date. So I had a bunch of people, and he brought him, and we just connected.” As for their love now?

I don’t feel like I’m having a girl. … I’m, like, in a state of shock,” she said when her sister Kylie Jenner told her the news. The Good American denim designer later said, “Everyone told me, ‘You’re going to feel what you’re having and you’ll just kind of know.’ And then when you find out it’s the complete opposite, it’s just a shock. I just was convinced that I was having a boy, so to be having a girl, it’s just like, ‘OK, that wasn’t what I thought was going on.’” After the initial shock, the Revenge Body host said she knows she and Thompson will “be in love” with their baby regardless of its sex. She added: “She’ll be so cute.” Jerritt Clark/Getty Images  Khloé celebrated her baby shower at a pink-themed party at Hotel Bel-Air in Beverly Hills, California, on March 10, 2018, and her beau was right by her side.

He had his hand on her butt.” The pair never publicly addressed the allegations. Maddie Meyer/Getty Images  As Kardashian prepared to join Thompson in Cleveland for “a big chunk” of the 2018 NBA season, a source told Us the Good American designer’s “doubts [began] to creep in” in October 2018. The source noted: “Khloé is being extremely cautious about uprooting her entire life for Tristan again.” MEGA  The duo were forced to relive the April 2018 cheating scandal on the November 2018 episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. In addition to calling the Cleveland Cavaliers star a “piece of s—t” during the November 18 episode of the E! series, the Revenge Body host live-tweeted the episode with fans. I was definitely and completely in shock … I can’t believe I had to deal with this disgusting crap still in the hospital room!” she tweeted. Kardashian also defended her decision to let Thompson in her hospital room while True was born: “Regardless of what Tristan did to me, I was never going to take that moment away from True or Tristan. She should not be punished for his actions. He is her father and they both deserve to love one another as deeply as They possibly can #KUWTK.”  The couple spent Thanksgiving 2018 together in Cleveland, after the NBA star’s cheating scandal played out on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. “I’m soo blessed,” Thompson wrote on Instagram, posting a photo of himself embracing Kardashian and their daughter, True. “Happy thanksgiving from my family to yours #GiveThanks #blessed” Meanwhile, the reality star debunked fan speculation that sibling tension was the reason she decamped to Ohio for the holiday. “Y’all are reaching now,” she tweeted on November 23. “I’ve spent the past 3years in Cleveland for Thanksgiving … My sisters and I are perfectly fine thank you! All of their families were able to travel but TT being in season, he can not.” Courtesy of Khloe Kardashian/Instagram  The couple called it quits in February 2019, 10 months after the NBA star was caught cheating, Us Weekly confirmed.

"Tristan was being flirty, hitting up girls," an eyewitness told Life & Style.

When the get-together aired on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, fans learned that Thompson tired to kiss his ex before the bash.

I feel really happy and I’m spending so much time with my family,” she told Us at the time. “We’re working so much, but I like that I’m taking time for myself, and I think that I’m really good at being single! I enjoy it. … I don’t ever feel like I need a man to feel solid. I feel really good, so I’m enjoying spending time with True and my family.”  In the months following the Woods scandal, Thompson made headlines for leaving flirty comments on Kardashian’s Instagram posts. According to a source, however, Kardashian had no interest in reuniting with the athlete. “Khloé is coparenting and not getting back with him,” one source told Us. “Khloé and Tristan have been spending time together primarily involving True. Tristan has made it known to Khloé he wants to reconcile,” a second source added. “Her friends are concerned Tristan misses the lifestyle and perks that are included when dating a Kardashian.” Shutterstock  After viewers saw Thompson gift Kardashian a diamond necklace during a December 2019 episode of KUWTK, she took to Instagram to defend her decision to forgive the NBA player for his past indiscretions. “Life is short! We are all humans trying to figure out this thing called life … Yes, I’m allowed to feel hurt and pain. It would be unnatural for me to pretend as if I don’t. Personally, I don’t want to be carrying around a hateful heart,” Kardashian wrote. Me holding onto hate is only going to hurt me in the end. I have chosen to NOT pollute my heart and my energy by holding onto anything negative … I am allowed to forgive but still not accept their behaviors … I was nothing but beautiful blessings for EVERYBODY that has ever been in my life.” Hours later, she revealed that she was writing about both Thompson and Woods. “The reason why I decided to post my previous post is because I’m seeing a lot of back-and-forth with people asking ‘why don’t I keep that same energy with Jordyn?’ That message is for Jordyn,” Kardashian wrote. “It’s for anyone else who has ever hurt me. For some reason people want to assume that I’m talking only about Tristan. This message applies to ALL parties involved in situations that have ever hurt me. I have moved on, found forgiveness and wish you only happiness and joy!” Shutterstock  The pair reunited at the annual Kardashian family Christmas Eve party on December 24, 2019, which Kourtney Kardashian hosted.

| Elon Musk and Grimes' Relationship Timeline Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:42 AM PST A roller coaster romance. Elon Musk and Grimes, whose real name is Claire Boucher, were first linked in May 2018 and have since welcomed a son together. The couple made their red carpet debut in May 2018, shortly after reports surfaced of their relationship. However, it has not always been smooth sailing for the businessman and the singer. They weathered split rumors and a very public feud with Azealia Banks in August 2018 before reuniting. Fans speculated about their status for months, as the pair continued to be spotted together everywhere from the Kardashian-Jenner family Christmas party to China. Musk and Grimes seemingly confirmed they were back on when she announced in January 2020 that she was pregnant. Though she did not caption her Instagram photo that showed off her baby bump, she referred to herself as "knocked up" in the comments section. Nearly two months later, the Canada native revealed in a Rolling Stone profile that the Tesla CEO was the father of her child. She opened up in the interview about the impact of their relationship on her career. "No one believes me about this, but I just did not understand what I was getting into at all," she explained. "Not that I'm mad about it. I just didn't think it would be a thing. The s–t that's happened with my boyfriend this year has overwritten so much of my life's work." Grimes described her pregnancy as a major decision, made in part because of her trust in Musk. "For a girl, it's sacrificing your body and your freedom. It's a pretty crazy sacrifice and only half of the population has to do it. It was really profound to me when I decided I was going to do it, to actually go through the act of like, y'know, unprotected sex," she admitted. "I'm just like, 'I have sacrificed my power in this moment. I have, like, capitulated.' And I have spent my whole life avoiding that situation. I have never capitulated to anything, so it was just a profound commitment." She added: "I do actually just really love my boyfriend. So I was like, 'You know, sure.'" In September 2021, the businessman told Page Six, “[Grimes and I] are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms.” Scroll to revisit the milestones from Grimes and Musk's relationship.  Reports claimed the musician and the entrepreneur were dating in May 2018. The two debuted their romance at the Met Gala at the time. She later confirmed that their love connection was born when he messaged her after seeing a tweet she wrote about thought experiment Roko’s Basilisk. Matt Baron/Shutterstock  Musk and Grimes attended the Hyperloop Pod Competition with his five sons in July 2018. He shares twins and triplets with ex-wife Justine Wilson. ZUMAPRESS.com/MEGA  The twosome made headlines after Banks claimed that Grimes invited her to Musk’s home in L.A. to collaborate but spent an entire weekend comforting the engineer. His rep claimed to Business Insider at the time, “Elon doesn’t know Azealia Banks.” He later clarified that he saw her at his house. The rapper also posted alleged texts from Grimes, in which she claimed Musk had “a fake made up accent” and “a giant d--k.” Aurora Rose/Variety/Shutterstock; Swan Gallet/WWD/Shutterstock; CLEMENS BILAN/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock  After their feud with Banks, fans noticed that Grimes and Musk unfollowed each other on social media, sparking split rumors. In October, they were seen together again in L.A., and he refollowed her.

Courtesy Elon Musk/Twitter  Shortly after their son's arrival, the duo "experienced a lot of ups and downs in their relationship," according to a source. "[They] have been on and off," the insider told Us. "Through it all though, they have and will continue to maintain a close friendship." MEGA  "I love you but please turn off ur phone or give me a [call]," Grimes tweeted after Musk's "pronouns suck" post sparked controversy. "I cannot support hate. Please stop this. I know this isn't your heart." Courtesy of Grimes/Instagram  The Canada native came to Musk's defense after TikTok users accused him of being a "men's rights activist," replying, "He's not. Def he's been very immature at points on Twitter but for [example] the president of spaceX is a woman, as is his right hand [person] at Neuralink, etc." Shutterstock (2)  Musk revealed that he and the "Oblivion" singer had split after three years together. "[We] still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms," he noted in a statement. Charles Sykes/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Days after Musk announced the couple's split, Grimes shared a new song titled "Love" via her Instagram account. She said at the time that she wrote the track in response to the increased attention she faced after her breakup from the world-famous entrepreneur. "It f—king sucks to be awake / Oh, Lord, I pray my soul to take," went one lyric. "Nobody understands because everything they hate is everything I love." Matt Baron/Shutterstock  After the "Venus Fly" singer was photographed reading the Communist Manifesto, she explained that she intentionally trolled paparazzi with her book choice but wasn't making a comment on her ex-boyfriend's enormous wealth. “I was really stressed when paparazzi wouldn’t stop following me this wk but then I realized it was [an] opportunity to troll,” she wrote via Instagram, adding that she and Musk were still living together.

| Shady! Grimes Drops Breakup Song 'Player of Games' 2 Months After Elon Musk Split Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:37 AM PST  A pointed message? Grimes released her second new song since her split from Elon Musk, and fans couldn’t help but notice some of the track’s shadier lyrics. The Alter Ego judge, 33, debuted “Player of Games” on Friday, December 3, two months after she and the Tesla CEO, 50, called it quits. “I’m in love with the greatest gamer / But he’ll always love the game more than he loves me,” reads one lyric. Another section of the song seemingly references Musk’s interest in space travel and colonizing Mars. “Sail away to the cold expanse of space / Even love couldn’t keep you in your place,” the lyrics continue. “But can’t you love me like that?” The first verse also includes a reference to Europa, a moon of Jupiter: “Baby, would you still love me out on Europa or will you forget? / Baby, how can I compare to the adventure out there?” The “Oblivion” songstress and the SpaceX founder called it quits in September after three years of dating. “We are semi-separated but still love each other, see each other frequently and are on great terms,” Musk said in a statement at the time. "It's mostly that my work at SpaceX and Tesla requires me to be primarily in Texas or traveling overseas and her work is primarily in L.A. She's staying with me now and Baby X is in the adjacent room." The duo welcomed their son, X Æ A-Xii, now 19 months, in May 2020. Shortly after the baby’s arrival, an insider told Us Weekly that parenthood was proving to be a challenge for the couple. "Elon and Grimes have experienced a lot of ups and downs in their relationship throughout Grimes' pregnancy and have been on and off," the source explained in May 2020. "Through it all though, they have and will continue to maintain a close friendship." Shortly after the couple split, Grimes — whose real name is Claire Boucher — shared a new song via Instagram titled “Love.” She claimed at the time that she wrote it in response to the increased attention she experienced as a result of her breakup from the tech entrepreneur. “It f—king sucks to be awake / Oh, Lord, I pray my soul to take,” the lyrics read. “Nobody understands because everything they hate is everything I love.” Earlier this fall, the “Flesh Without Blood” singer revealed that she and Musk were still living together in a social media about the viral photos that showed her reading a copy of the Communist Manifesto. "I was really stressed when paparazzi wouldn't stop following me this wk but then I realized it was [an] opportunity to troll," she wrote via Instagram in October. “Full disclosure I'm still living with e and I am not a communist." |
| Raquel Leviss Moves Out After James Kennedy Split, Broken Engagement Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:36 AM PST Making moves! Raquel Leviss packed up her belongings for a fresh start after her split from James Kennedy. The Vanderpump Rules star, 26, gave fans a glimpse at her packing process while moving a U-Haul full of items from her and Kennedy's place to a storage unit on Sunday, December 5. "As my dad says … my new home," Leviss wrote via her Instagram Story alongside a boomerang clip of her rolling the door on her storage unit up and down. The social media packing posts came hours after Leviss and Kennedy, 29, announced that they called off their engagement seven months after the British TV personality proposed. "After these 5 wonderful years we had together, we decided we have two different goals and made the decision to call off the engagement," the duo wrote in a joint statement on Sunday, which they shared on their respective social media pages. "We love each other very much, but we aren't in love anymore. We want nothing but the best for each other so please keep any thoughts positive. Sending Love."

(The reunion special doesn't have a premiere date as of now.)

| Jen Shah's Legal Drama: Everything We Know So Far Posted: 06 Dec 2021 10:04 AM PST Jen Shah was indicted for her alleged role in a long-running telemarketing scheme while filming season 2 of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City — and all eyes are on the Bravo star as she faces up to 50 years in prison. Bravo viewers met Shah during season 1 of RHOSLC, which filmed in 2019 and aired in 2020. She quickly became a polarizing character on the franchise, with fans questioning her job and need for several assistants. "People will come to me and I'll invest in their companies, so we have a got a lot of different investments, all different kinds of things," Shah said of her career on Access Hollywood's "Housewives Nightcap" in November 2020. "I've been able to do it because what I've been able to carve out, the niche I've been able to carve out in the direct response marketing world." Not long after production began on season 2 of RHOSLC, which also stars Meredith Marks, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Lisa Barlow and Mary Cosby, news broke on March 30 that Shah and one of her assistants who appeared on the show, Stuart Smith, were arrested in Utah. "Jennifer Shah, who portrays herself as a wealthy and successful businessperson on 'reality' television, and Stuart Smith, who is portrayed as Shah's 'first assistant,' allegedly generated and sold 'lead lists' of innocent individuals for other members of their scheme to repeatedly scam," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in a press release. "In actual reality and as alleged, the so-called business opportunities pushed on the victims by Shah, Smith, and their co-conspirators were just fraudulent schemes, motivated by greed, to steal victims' money. Now, these defendants face time in prison for their alleged crimes." HSI Special Agent-in-Charge Peter C. Fitzhugh claimed that Shah and Smith "built their opulent lifestyle at the expense of vulnerable, often elderly, working-class people." "Shah and Smith objectified their very real human victims as 'leads' to be bought and sold, offering their personal information for sale to other members of their fraud ring," Fitzhugh said. "Working with our partners at the NYPD and the United States Attorney's Office, SDNY, and with the assistance of HSI Salt Lake City, HSI New York worked to ensure that Shah and Smith will answer for their alleged crimes. As a result, their new reality may very well turn out differently than they expected." A source told Us Weekly at the time that Shah is "embarrassed" by the scandal, which included NYPD detectives, Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York working together. "Jen is really humiliated that all of this is happening in the public eye and that it will be shown on Bravo," the source told Us on March 31, noting at the time that Shah hasn't "been talking to her castmates or friends" following her arrest. Scroll through for a breakdown of the charges and everything we know about Shah's legal drama: This is an ongoing article that was originally published in March 2021 and last updated on Friday, November 19.  “I own three different marketing companies and we do lead generation, data monetization, customer acquisition. The best way to describe it is, I’m the Wizard of Oz, I’m the one behind the curtain that no one knows exists but I’m the one making everything happen,” Shah told Access Hollywood in November 2020. “So, ads are popping to you guys and they’re like, ‘How the hell do they know I’m shopping at Neiman Marcus?’ That’s me.” She continued: “If you think about it, you know how much traffic is on the internet every second, all the people clicking. I’m making money on every click, anytime you click on anything I’m getting some money. I think because I’ve been blessed to be successful with my marketing background and my companies, I’ve really found a niche within the direct response marketing world. I’ve been able to branch out and invest in our fashion company, our skincare line, our lash line.” Rick Bowmer/AP/Shutterstock  According to the press release, Shah and Smith’s alleged involvement in the scheme stems back to 2012. While they were indicted in March 2021, the case dates back to 2019 and 10 others — Anthony Cheedie, Chad Allen, Shane Hanna Cameron Brewster, Kevin Handren, Joseph Ciaccio, Joseh Minetto, Joseph Depaola, Derek Larkin and Mattie Cirilo — who were previously charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing. Courtesy Jen Shah/Instagram  Shah was booked on conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Both the Bravo star and her assistant face a maximum sentence of 30 years for the wire fraud charges and an additional 20 years for the money laundering charges. Gabe Ginsberg/Bravo  Us confirmed that the Bravo cameras were rolling on the day of Shah’s arrest. “Jen was filming with a few of the other women present when she was arrested. The women were completely shocked when Jen was taken away,” the source told Us, noting that the group was gearing up for a trip to Colorado at the time. Another source told Us on March 31 that the cast “resumed filming after Jen’s arrest” without her. “Jen’s future this season remains unclear. If she will go back to filming or not, no one is really sure, she hasn’t resumed filming yet,” the source said at the time. Chad Kirkland/Bravo  Following Shah’s arrest, she appeared before a Utah judge on March 30. The judge set the following conditions for her and Smith: must commit no federal offense upon release, must appear as required, no traveling outside of Utah with the exception of New York City court, no international travel, no contact with co-defendants and no engagement in telemarketing. They were subsequently seen leaving the Utah court and ignored all reporters' questions as they headed to their cars. Bravo  Shah was set to be arraigned virtually on March 31 but couldn’t dial in because too many people were on the line. Judge Sidney Stein subsequently decided to continue Shah and Smith's arraignment to April 2 at 11 a.m. ET. Heidi Gutman/Bravo  Shah called into her hearing on April 2 and pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. She sought counsel from her local Utah lawyer, Clayton Simms, and from known white collar crime defense attorney Henry Asbill, who works out of Washington, D.C. The government described the scandal as a $5,000,000 money laundering scheme. Courtesy of hairbyendo/Instagram  During the April 2 hearing, the judge set Shah’s bail at $1 million, giving her one week to pay the required $250,000 “to secure that bond in cash or property.” "There is a risk of flight here. It's not insubstantial,” the judge said. “I’m going to release her on the following conditions: I am going to require a personal recognizance bond of $1 million. I am going to require $250,000 to secure that bond in cash or property. She will have one week to comply." Shah’s lawyer then asked for two weeks to secure the bond, which the judge approved, but noted that Shah must sign the $1 million personal recognizance bond by the end of the day. Other conditions of her bail included no drug use or excessive alcohol, not being allowed to open any bank accounts and continued mental health treatments. Bravo  The Bravo star’s attorney told the court that Shah doesn’t own her home — which was labeled as “Jen’s Chalet” on the series — or any real property. The government also alleged that she has not willingly disclosed her assets amid the investigation. When asked about her employment outside of telemarketing, her lawyer told the judge, “She's in the fashion business and on a news show as well … The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City." Courtesy of Jen Shah/Instagram  During the April hearing, a judge set a trial date for October 18, 2021, noting that may change due to COVID protocols. During the August hearing, the trial was postponed until March 2022 following updated COVID-19 standards. Courtesy of hairbyendo/Instagram  A source told Us exclusively in April that RHOSLC is “still filming” amid Shah’s legal drama. “Production sees this as a great storyline. One that everyone will want to see unfold,” the insider said. “It’s ratings gold. They're going to use as much footage as they can that they're legally allowed to use.” Fred Hayes/Bravo  Shah filed a motion to dismiss her case, but it was denied by the judge in August 2021, Us Weekly confirms. In her initial ask, she was hoping charges would be dismissed. Additionally, her attorney, Daniel R. Alonso, along with colleagues Henry W. Asbill and Michael S. Chum, announced their resignation. Shah has retained attorney Priya Chaudhry, of ChaudhryLaw PLLC, to represent her in the case moving forward, according to the court documents. Rick Bowmer/AP/Shutterstock  The lead-up to Shah's arrest by members of Homeland Security and the New York Police Department appeared in a season 2 episode of the series, which aired in November 2021. In the moments before she was taken into custody, Shah told her RHOSLC castmates that she was unable to go on a trip with them to Vail, Colorado, because her husband was suffering from a medical emergency. “I have some bad news,” she told costarGay as the cameras rolled pre-departure. “I just got a phone call and Sharrieff Sr.’s in the hospital. He has internal bleeding, so I need to go.” After telling Gay that the doctors weren’t “sure if they’re going to need to do surgery,” she shared the bad news with Rose, Barlow and Jennie Nguyen, who were on the bus getting ready to leave. Nearly 15 minutes later, the authorities pulled into the parking lot of Gay’s beauty clinic. “Is this a prank?” Rose asked. “Is Jen playing a prank on us, though?” Andrew Peterson/Bravo  During a November 2021 episode of RHOSLC, Shah's costars were left in shock after Homeland Security showed up looking for her. "Other than our families, there was seven people that knew we were meeting at Beauty Lab today. I can't imagine anyone here would turn Jen in, but this looks really sus[picious]," Lisa Barlow noted in a confessional after Whitney Rose suggested that "someone told" the authorities where to find Shah. "I don't know anything, but I have a lot of questions around, like, Jen's lifestyle," Rose continued. "It intrigues me where she gets all of her money and all of her things from." Meredith Marks said in a FaceTime call with the cast that she was "not surprised" by the arrest, adding, "Too many things didn't add up and I've suspected that something was going on for a while. And now, it's validated that I was right [and] I'm not crazy. That's the bottom line." Chad Kirkland/Bravo(3)  In November 2021, Joseph Ciaccio, who was charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing in 2019, was sentenced to time served. According to attorney Ronald Richards, Ciaccio received the sentence because a recent car accident left him paraplegic. "Judge was very compassionate about it and did not follow the government recommendation and sentenced him below guidelines," Richards tweeted. Courtesy of Jen Shah/Instagram  Smith, the assistant who was arrested and charged with Shah, changed his plea in November 2021 after initially pleading not guilty. “He pleaded guilty to three counts: conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and obstruction of justice,” Richards told Us at the time. “He admitted to hiding ownership and money, defrauding elderly people and lying to the Federal Trade Commission in a deposition, which constituted perjury." Smith will be sentenced in March 2022 after his former boss' trial. He faces a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison. Bravo  Following the release of The Housewife & the Shah Shocker, a documentary that explored Shah's legal issues with interviews from alleged victims and government agents, the Bravo personality requesting that her charges.Shah's legal team claimed that the ABC News doc would ruin her chance at an unbiased jury pool because everyone could access The Housewife & the Shah Shocker ahead of her trial."Ms. Shah respectfully requests that the Court grant her leave to file a motion to dismiss the indictment," the court documents obtained by Us in December read. "Given both the extensive viewership of Hulu nationwide and Ms. Shah’s public notoriety, a change in venue would not protect Ms. Shah’s rights, nor would alternative remedies such as a detailed voir dire or emphatic jury instructions." The US Attorney responded to the motion stating that there was no basis to drop the legal case, to which Shah's attorneys called out the government officials that participated in the Hulu project. "Make no mistake, the Government cannot shift the blame to Hulu or ABC News for the manner in which the final program was edited," the RHOSLC star's response argued. "The Government and its agents publicly expressed their opinions to the press about a pending case, therefore the Government is fully accountable for all that followed. Like any wrongdoer, the Government is entirely responsible for the entire damage caused by its violation of the rules." Fred Hayes/Bravo |
| Jen Shah Claims 'The Housewife & the Shah Shocker' Caused 'Irreparable Damage' Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:44 AM PST UPDATE Monday, December 6: The US Attorney opposed Shah’s motion to dismiss her case on Friday, December 3, on the basis that “the defendant has not and cannot demonstrate any likelihood of success on the merits of any such motion.” The Bravo personality’s legal team argued in response that the court should consider the government officials who chose to participate in The Housewife & the Shah Shocker. “Make no mistake, the Government cannot shift the blame to Hulu or ABC News for the manner in which the final program was edited,” the legal docs stated on Monday, December 6. “The Government and its agents publicly expressed their opinions to the press about a pending case, therefore the Government is fully accountable for all that followed. Like any wrongdoer, the Government is entirely responsible for the entire damage caused by its violation of the rules.” The filing also claimed that “improper and unrepentant conduct of the prosecution team has caused irreparable damage to Ms. Shah's rights to a fair trial, free from prejudice.” Original story below: After Hulu dropped their The Housewife & the Shah Shocker documentary about Jen Shah‘s legal issues, the reality star is requesting that her charges be dropped as well. In court documents obtained by Us Weekly, attorneys for Shah, 48, filed a letter that requested her case be dismissed on the basis that the new doc violated the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star’s right to a fair trial. According to the paperwork, Shah’s legal team is arguing that there won’t be an “untainted jury pool” now that the documentary is available for everyone to watch ahead of her March 2022 trial. “Ms. Shah respectfully requests that the Court grant her leave to file a motion to dismiss the indictment,” the legal docs, which were filed on Tuesday, November 30, read. “Given both the extensive viewership of Hulu nationwide and Ms. Shah's public notoriety, a change in venue would not protect Ms. Shah's rights, nor would alternative remedies such as a detailed voir dire or emphatic jury instructions.” Shah made headlines in March when she and her assistant Stuart Smith were charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and conspiracy to commit money laundering. “Jennifer Shah, who portrays herself as a wealthy and successful businessperson on 'reality' television, and Stuart Smith, who is portrayed as Shah's 'first assistant,' allegedly generated and sold 'lead lists' of innocent individuals for other members of their scheme to repeatedly scam," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in a press release following Shah’s arrest. "In actual reality and as alleged, the so-called business opportunities pushed on the victims by Shah, Smith, and their co-conspirators were just fraudulent schemes, motivated by greed, to steal victims' money.” The ABC News documentary, which dropped on Hulu on Monday, November 29, features interviews from two alleged victims, the agents that are part of the investigation and legal experts. Homeland Security Investigations Acting Special Agent in Charge Rick Patel addressed Shah’s alleged involvement in selling "lead lists,” saying, "The folks that are behind this are pros at what they do. It is disgusting. And what we'd like to tell any victim is, it’s not your fault, please come forward, because we need your help to make sure this doesn’t happen to more people.” In the November filing, Shah’s attorney argued that that the interviews with Homeland Security Investigations offered details on her case that weren’t previously made public in an effort to “poison the jury pool.” Although Shah and her team didn’t provide a comment for the documentary, her aunt Lehua Vincent showed support for her niece. “This is the most difficult time for our entire family. The Jen Shah that I know is a woman who has come from a culture that is deeply rooted in honesty, loyalty and hard work," Vincent said. "There’s just no way that Jen has the ability to be harmful or hurtful or disrespectful. You are innocent until proven guilty … and I believe her to be nothing but innocent." Ahead of the Hulu doc’s premiere, Smith, 43, changed his initial not guilty plea and instead plead guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering and obstruction of justice. “He admitted to hiding ownership and money, defrauding elderly people and lying to the Federal Trade Commission in a deposition, which constituted perjury,” attorney Ronald Richards, who is not involved with the case but who appeared in The Housewife & the Shah Shocker, told Us on November 19.

| Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost’s Relationship Timeline Posted: 06 Dec 2021 09:21 AM PST A happy ending for ScarJost! Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's love story is one for the books. The Golden Globe nominee and the Saturday Night Live star were first spotted together in May 2017 at an afterparty celebrating the NBC variety show's season 42 finale. They continued to be hot and heavy through the summer, often spending weekends and holidays together on the East End of Long Island. That December, the couple made their first public appearance together at the American Museum of Natural History Gala in New York City. They also debuted their relationship on TV that month when they held hands while ice-skating at Rockefeller Center on a holiday-themed episode of SNL. Jost supported Johansson at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie Avengers: Infinity War in April 2018, marking their first official red carpet appearance as a pair. The next month, he called Johansson his "girlfriend" during a "Weekend Update" segment on SNL. The low-key couple continued to hit red carpets together through the end of 2018, attending the Met Gala in May and the Emmys in September. By February 2019, Us Weekly broke the news that the duo had moved in together. "Colin is still head over heels for Scarlett," a source told Us at the time. "He thinks she is incredible, kind, beautiful. He is beyond doting to her and loves showing her off when they're out. Scarlett loves Colin too, and they are in it for the long haul. … Colin gets a starry-eyed look in his eyes when he talks about her." Johansson and Jost revealed their engagement in May 2019 after two years of dating. By October 2020, it was announced that the twosome had quietly tied the knot amid the coronavirus pandemic while surrounded by immediate family and loved ones. This is Jost's first marriage. Meanwhile, Johansson was previously married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017. She and the French journalist share daughter Rose.

I told you, I have a girlfriend!” Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic  The duo stayed close to each other on the red carpet at their first Met Gala as a couple.

Rodriguez/Getty Images for Disney  Jost admitted during a stand-up set in East Hampton, New York, that he was “so scared of marriage for so long.” Nina Westervelt/WWD/Shutterstock  Johansson finally shared some details of her fiancé’s proposal, saying on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, “He did, like, a whole James Bond situation. He’s got a lot behind that news desk. He’s very charming and very thoughtful and romantic. I was surprised. Even if you kind of imagine what that moment is going to be like it’s still a beautiful moment.” Michael Rozman/Warner Bros.  “Colin is a great father figure for Rose,” a source told Us exclusively. “He loves playing with her and she is obsessed with him.” MediaPunch/Shutterstock  The Marriage Story star called Jost the “love of my life” during her SNL monologue. Rosalind O'Connor/NBC  The A Very Punchable Face author supported Johansson at the Academy Awards, where she was nominated for her movies Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit. Shutterstock  The actress revealed in an interview with Parade that baseball is a “sore subject” for the couple because she is a diehard New York Yankees fan and he loves the Mets. “He just told me that he’d rather see the [Boston] Red Sox win than the Yankees win. Like, what?!” she told the magazine. “I said I was just going to ignore that.” Christopher Polk/Shutterstock  In her interview with Parade, Johansson revealed what attracted her to Jost. “What you see is what you get with him,” she told the magazine. “He’s very optimistic, easygoing, funny, nice, and those are the qualities that really drew me to him.” RCF / MEGA  The Oscar nominee opened up about how her relationship with Jost went from platonic to romantic. “It’s so funny to have a long-term shared experience with someone and then the relationship changes,” she told Parade. Shutterstock  The couple secretly tied the knot more than a year after announcing their engagement. The news of their nuptials was announced by the Meals on Wheels Instagram account. “We’re thrilled to break the news that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and love ones, following COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC,” the statement read. “Their wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time by supporting @mealsonwheelsamerica. Please consider donating to celebrate the happy couple.” Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Days after Jost debuted his wedding band on Saturday Night Live, Johansson stepped out wearing a gold band on her left ring ringer. David Fisher/Shutterstock  The comedian decided to join in the fun by pulling a prank on the actress as she was being honored with a Generation Award at the 2021 MTV Movie and TV Awards. Jost poured slime on Johansson as she was finishing her speech at the May 2021 event. "What the f--k?" the Black Widow star asked her husband. "MTV! You got slimed!" he responded, shortly before being informed that slime was used during Nickelodeon award shows. Jost did help clean up the accident by offering his wife a towel. MTV  During a stand-up set in Ridgefield, Connecticut, the Coming 2 America star revealed that his wife was expecting the couple's first child. “We’re having a baby," he said from the stage. "It’s exciting.” The news came just months after Johansson first sparked pregnancy rumors when she was absent from all in-person press events for Black Widow ahead of the film's July 2021 release. Fans noted that her virtual interviews were all shot as close-ups, hiding everything below her shoulders. Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock  Johansson’s rep confirmed on August 18 that she recently gave birth to their first child together. The same month, Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr. revealed that she went into labor in late July amid her lawsuit with Disney over the streaming release of Black Widow. Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The couple walked their first red carpet together since the birth of their son Cosmo four months prior. “It’s been wonderful,” Johansson said when asked about parenthood at the 35th Annual American Cinematheque Awards. “I’m in a ‘baby bliss bubble.’” Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock  The couple enjoyed a date night at the 44th Kennedy Center Honors on December 5.
