Bethenny Frankel slams ‘Real Housewives of New York’ claims it’s not ‘inspiring people’

By

Bethenny Frankel didn’t appreciate the season premiere of “Real Housewives of New York City.”

The former Bravo star, 49, blasted the reality series in an interview with “Extra,” saying she felt insulted by the way her cast members talked about her.

“The beginning of the show was the proverbial middle finger to me,” she said. “The women have definitely had some unpleasant things to say about me … I wish them well.”

“I feel like this season, because [Frankel’s] not there, the women have a place to express themselves and show more of their personality,” de Lesseps told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” podcast. “And I think this is the best season yet. It’s like, Bethenny who? It’s the best season ever!”

Though many “RHONY” fans are finding solace and distraction in the show amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Frankel said she felt its doing a disservice to viewers.

“The ratings overall in television have never been higher and perhaps the ratings on ‘Real Housewives’ aren’t doing well because it’s sort of not maybe the content that is inspiring people to do what they need to do right now,” Frankel continued. “Or maybe they want to watch the news or something uplifting or some way to pay it forward.”

Frankel has been dedicating her philanthropy, BStrong, to fighting the pandemic. Last month, she donated 250,000 N95 masks to New York City hospitals.

“We will have distributed over $16 million worth of aid this week and that will grow exponentially,” she told “Extra.”

Taylor Swift’s publicist slams Kim Kardashian in feud: ‘When you take parts out, that’s editing’

By

Taylor Swift and Kanye West‘s feud was reignited after new footage of her conversation with the rapper leaked online during which they discussed his song, “Famous.”

Someone released a new video, clipped into segments, of their full 25-minute conversation and West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, and Swift’s publicist, Tree Paine, reacted to the fiasco.

Kardashian posted several tweets Monday to address Swift, who said in a statement earlier in the day on Instagram that she was illegally recorded in the “manipulated” video.

KIM KARDASHIAN CLAIMS TAYLOR SWIFT IS ‘ACTUALLY LYING’ ABOUT NEWLY LEAKED VIDEO OF KANYE WEST PHONE CALL

Paine fired back Monday night at Kardashian West, who had defended herself after the release of the video.

West was condemned for a lyric in which he called Swift a b*tch in his 2016 song. The rapper said Swift gave her blessing to use the lyric during a phone call, but the singer denied ever hearing the lyric.

But they also show West repeatedly asking Taylor for her approval of a lyric in which he raps: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.      Why? I made that b*tch famous.” Swift does tell West she thinks it’s funny, just as the rapper said when the song first was released.

Previously, Kardashian seemed to vindicate her husband — months later — by releasing snippets of the call where Swift appeared to approve the lyrics. She said in a tweet Monday that Swift lied through her publicist that “Kanye never called to ask for permission.”

Kim Kardashian claims Taylor Swift is ‘actually lying’ about newly leaked video of Kanye West phone call

By

Kim Kardashian fired back at Taylor Swift after the singer took a jab at the reality star’s husband, Kanye West.

A newly leaked video clip of the entire four-year-old phone call between the rapper and pop superstar about his controversial song “Famous” made its way online over the weekend. It seemingly proves that Swift was telling the truth when she said that West never ran the lyric “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, Why? I made that b—- famous” by her in its entirety.

“Instead of answering those who are asking how I feel about the video footage that leaked, proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about *that call* (you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family, and fans through hell for 4 years)…SWIPE UP to see what really matters,” Swift wrote on her Instagram Story Monday in reference to the leaked video.

Four years ago, Kardashian posted a clip of the phone call between her husband and Swift to prove that he did indeed run the lyric by her. However, the full video shows that the main point of contention, the use of the word “b—-,” was never mentioned.

After Swift’s Instagram jab, the “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star defended herself and her husband in a series of tweets.

“.@taylorswift13 has chosen to reignite an old exchange – that at this point in time feels very self-serving given the suffering millions of real victims are facing right now,” Kim began her statement. “I didn’t feel the need to comment a few days ago, and I’m actually really embarrassed and mortified to be doing it right now, but because she continues to speak on it, I feel I’m left without a choice but to respond because she is actually lying.”

Kardashian noted that she never denied that the word “b—-” wasn’t mentioned in the phone call. Her issue seemed to be that Swift was implying Kanye never called her to discuss “Famous” at all.

“To be clear, the only issue I ever had around the situation was that Taylor lied through her publicist who stated that ‘Kanye never called to ask for permission…’ They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word ‘b—-’ was used without her permission,” Kim continued. “At the time when they spoke the song had not been fully written yet, but as everyone can see in the video, she manipulated the truth of their actual conversation in her statement when her team said she ‘declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message.’ The lie was never about the word b—-, It was always whether there was a call or not and the tone of the conversation.”

Kim also took issue with Swift’s implication that she doctored the clips she released on Snapchat four years ago.

“I never edited the footage (another lie) – I only posted a few clips on Snapchat to make my point and the full video that recently leaked doesn’t change the narrative,” Kim wrote.

She concluded by defending Kanye’s right to record and document the process of creating an album.

TAYLOR SWIFT SHADES KANYE WEST AT VMAS 10 YEARS AFTER INFAMOUS INTERRUPTION

“To add, Kanye as an artist has every right to document his musical journey and process, just like she recently did through her documentary,” Kim wrote. “Kanye has documented the making of all of his albums for his personal archive, however has never released any of it for public consumption & the call between the two of them would have remained private or would have gone in the trash had she not lied & forced me to defend him.”

The reality star ended by apologizing for having to speak about this four-year-old feud at all.

“This will be the last time I speak on this because honestly, nobody cares,” she wrote. “Sorry to bore you all with this. I know you are all dealing with more serious and important matters.”

Swift has not directly responded to Kim’s Twitter thread. However, her publicist Tree Paine took to Twitter to refute Kim’s claim that she lied about the initial phone conversation.

“I’m Taylor’s publicist and this is my UNEDITED original statement. Btw, when you take parts out, that’s editing,” she wrote. “P.S. who did you guys pi– off to leak that video?”

The original statement shared by Swift’s publicist reads: “Kanye did not call for approval, but to ask Taylor to release his single ‘Famous’ on her Twitter account. She declined and cautioned him about releasing a song with such a strong misogynistic message. Taylor was never made aware of the actual lyric, ‘I made that b—- famous.’”

This new footage in question was posted online from an unknown source late Friday night and rapidly spread across social media. Unlike other videos previously posted of the call, it shows all 25 minutes, albeit chopped up.

In the video, West tells Swift he’s working on a song and wants to use the lyric: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex.” But he is not heard telling her the line, “I made that b—- famous.”

In response, Swift is heard saying: “I’m glad it’s not mean though. It doesn’t feel mean, but like, oh my God, the build-up you gave it. I thought it was gonna be like, ‘that stupid dumb b—-,’ like, but it’s not.”

Taylor Swift, Kanye West’s famous phone call leaked in full

By

Taylor Swift fans feel vindicated after the full audio of her controversial conversation with Kanye West was released, seemingly proving her right.

A newly leaked video clip of the entire four-year-old phone call between the rapper and pop superstar about his controversial song “Famous” has been posted online and further complicates the picture of what happened.

In “Famous,” West raps: “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex, Why? I made that b—- famous.”

Upon its release in 2016, West was condemned by many for the line, including Swift. He insisted the singer had given her blessing to the lyric. But she denied ever hearing the lyric “I made that b—- famous.”

The new clips seem to corroborate Swift’s claims that West didn’t tell her the full lyrics of the song. But they also show West repeatedly asking Taylor for her approval of the sex lyric and she telling him she thinks it’s funny, just as the rapper said when the song first was released.

“I never would have expected you to tell me about a line in one of your songs,” Swift tells him. “That’s really nice that you did.”

This new footage was posted online from an unknown source late Friday night and rapidly spread across social media. Unlike other videos previously posted of the call, it shows all 25 minutes, albeit chopped up.

Neither representatives for Taylor Swift nor Kanye West immediately responded to Fox News request for comment.

The release of the new footage has added a new twist to the drama: While West was heavily criticized when it was initially released and Swift made it clear she was unhappy with it, West’s wife, Kim Kardashian, seemed to vindicate her husband months later by releasing snippets of the call where Swift appeared to approve the lyrics.

That led to a major backlash for Swift, who has described that time as a low point in her life and career. However, the true point of contention seems to be about whether or not West got Swift’s approval to use the word, “b—-.”

The two have had a contentious past. West famously interrupted Swift’s speech during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when she won for best female video. But they apparently put differences aside and she introduced him when he won the video vanguard award at the 2015 VMAs. Then came the infamous phone call about “Famous.”

Sophie Turner seemingly slams Evangeline Lilly over social distancing comments

By

Sophie Turner is taking a stand.

The “Game of Thrones” star shared a message via Instagram Live recently, where she urged fans to take precautions against the spread of coronavirus.

“Stay inside, don’t be f–king stupid,” said Turner, 24, per Entertainment Weekly. “Even if you count your [air quotes] ‘freedom over … your health.'”

Turner’s comments come a few days after “Ant-Man and the Wasp” star Evangeline Lilly said that she was going about business as usual and values her “freedom.”

The star drew criticism for posting on social media that she had dropped her kids off at school, using the hashtag “#businessasusual.”

A follower commented, pointing out that she’s currently living with her father, who is fighting stage four leukemia.

“I am living with my father at the moment, who has stage four leukemia. I am also immune compromised at the moment. I have two young kids,” said Lilly, 40, in a response. “Some people value their lives over freedom, some people value freedom over their lives. We all make our choices. With love and respect. EL.”

Meghan King Edmonds says ‘some days I’m barely hanging on by a thread’ amid Jim Edmonds divorce

By

Meghan King Edmonds is finding ways to pick up the pieces of her life in the midst of her divorce from estranged husband Jim Edmonds and is admitting that the process in conjunction with other life developments has been difficult to handle at times.

“Trauma affects all of us at some point in time but for others, it all seems to bear down at once,” Meghan, 35, wrote in a blog post on her website on Monday.

Titled “Release,” the address explains how Meghan has learned to deal with “emotional releases,” and the former “Real Housewives of Orange County” star opens up about how she manages to get through her days by writing about her pain.

MEGHAN KING EDMONDS SAYS SHE’S ‘NOT OK’ AND ‘TOO THIN’ AMID JIM EDMONDS DIVORCE: ‘I’M DECAYING ON STRESS’

“Let me tell you something, some days I’m barely hanging on by a thread,” she said. “Some moments I can’t breathe. Sometimes I get in bed and the bed is vibrating, but it’s not: I’m just shaking.”

She maintained that she loathes moments where she is subjected to “trauma.”

“I don’t like having moments of loss, panic, and utter despair, so I’ve tried not to feel them at all,” she said. “All intense feelings are time-consuming: we relish in the good ones, like falling in love or earning a promotion, but we hide from the ones that hurt.  And I don’t mean ‘hurt’ like the anger you feel when you get a parking ticket or the sadness you feel from your favorite dress being too tight.”

MEGHAN KING EDMONDS CLAPS BACK AT TROLLS WITH SULTRY SNAP: ‘BRB GOTTA GO LIVE MY BEST LIFE’

“I mean, mind-numbing despair,” she continued.

The mother of three and entrepreneur said she understands the rash reaction of fleeing difficult situations whenever she’s faced with a potentially traumatic event.

“Flee until your neck hurts so bad you need two epidural steroid injections and daily muscle relaxers and nerve-blockers just to be able to function before your scheduled surgery. Flee until your gut health is so off track you become scared to eat anything that’s not completely bland. And then stop,” she said.

“It’s time to stop doing the fleeing you don’t even know you’re doing,” she continued. “Your brain has emotional pain, yet you are allowing it to sit there and fester in the hidden caverns of your mind. It has nowhere to go despite its need to be released: your pain releases in physical ways so we learn to PAY ATTENTION.”

MEGHAN KING EDMONDS REVEALS PLAN TO KEEP 4 EMBRYOS WITH EX JIM EDMONDS ‘FROZEN UNTIL ETERNITY’

In the post, she also expounded on the neck pain she was battling that she says ultimately led to her developing a herniated disc and she revealed that after receiving her diagnosis, she cut off her prescription pain medication “cold turkey” and refrained from following through with the recommended surgical procedure.

“I paid attention to my brain because it’s smarter than me,” the “Intimate Knowledge” podcast co-host said.

“I have never felt more in control of my health EVER. Mark my words: I will live to be at least 100 years old and will be a healthy, vibrant old woman until the day I die,” Meghan vowed to her readers, praising the effect of her emotional releases.

MEGHAN KING EDMONDS REVEALS WHAT SHE WANTS IN HER NEXT PARTNER AFTER JIM EDMONDS DIVORCE DRAMA

“Gratitude for the trauma I’ve experienced because it helps me grow, learn, and empathize to help others,” she added. “Gratitude for all the little things (that aren’t little): my kids, Hart’s incredible progress, my health, and the best friends and family in the entire world.”

Meghan and Jim split last fall after a series of setbacks in their marriage, beginning with the former MLB slugger’s alleged sexting relationship with another woman followed by allegations he had an inappropriate relationship with a nanny.

In June, Jim admitted he had a “lapse in judgment” regarding the text affair but denied it was physical. In October, he shot down Meghan’s allegations of an affair with a nanny and filed for divorce.

Inside Aaron Rodgers’ family feud

Aaron Rodgers’ family feud continues to play out in public

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers continues to have a rift with his family. According to some media outlets, the star NFL player has not had a good relationship with his family since 2014. Here is a breakdown how the Rodgers continue to stiff arm each other.

Bears fans aren’t the only ones upset with Aaron Rodgers these days.

As it turns out, Rodgers’ close family isn’t too thrilled with him. In fact, they’re reportedly not speaking with him.

The family’s feud became public after Aaron’s brother Jordan appeared on a season of “The Bachelorette,” and since then, more and more details have bubbled to the surface.

‘SPICE GIRLS’ SINGERS MEL C AND VICTORIA BECKHAM HAD A ‘SCUFFLE’ EARLY ON

Here’s a breakdown of how everything went downhill for the Rodgers family.

The beginning 

Although no member of the family has publicly spoken about what exactly happened, Bleacher reported in 2016 that Aaron, 36, hadn’t spoken to his family since December 2014 — which Aaron’s father, Ed, confirmed in an interview with the New York Times.

The exact reason for the feud hasn’t been revealed, but the report states that Rodgers skipped his grandfather’s funeral and dropped out of groomsman duties at a close friend’s wedding via text on the day before the ceremony.

Another claim made by the report: Aaron’s family doesn’t even have his cell phone number.

Sources told Us Weekly that tension between Aaron and his family began during his three-year relationship with actress Olivia Munn, who, the source said, wasn’t trusted by the Rodgers family. Munn told Andy Cohen on his Sirius XM show, however, that Rodgers had been feuding with his family for eight months before they began dating. The pair split in 2017.

The public finds out 

The feud was first revealed on an episode of “The Bachelorette,” when Jordan, 31, told JoJo Fletcher not to expect to meet Aaron during their visit to the Rodgers family home.

“My middle brother won’t be there, Aaron,” Jordan said on the show. “Like I said, I have a great relationship with my brother Luke. Me and Aaron don’t really have that much of a relationship. It’s just kind of the way he’s chosen to do life and I’ve chosen to stay close with my family and my parents and my brother.”

Jordan added that he doesn’t “have hard feelings against him, it’s just how things go right now.”

Aaron, on the other hand, didn’t want to air out his dirty laundry, telling WISN that he’s “always found that it’s a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters,” so he’s chosen to stay quiet about it.

Things get worse

In 2018, Aaron posted a video to Twitter, offering a $1 million donation to fire relief efforts in California.

“In Northern California, where I was born and raised, the city of Paradise burned to the ground and many of the residents who got out are now displaced to my hometown of Chico across the north state,” he said in the video.

Jordan was quick with a response, writing, “PLEASE DONATE, SPREAD AWARENESS & SEND LOVE. But when your Mom is home alone during the fires, car packed ready to evacuate, & you miss the fundamental first step of compassion; calling your parents to make sure they are safe…. Everything else just feels like an act.”

Aaron and Jordan’s brother Luke retweeted Jordan’s message, then wrote one of his own, saying: “Smells like cowardice this morning.”

Possible reconciliation

In his NYT interview, Ed said that he’s “hoping for the best,” but that it was “hard to tell” if there had been any progress made in their relationship.

It was rumored that Aaron Rodgers was beginning to patch things up with his brother Jordan in 2018.

In December of 2018, Aaron revealed that he was “at home” with his parents when he learned that Green Bay Packer’s head coach Mike McCarthy had been fired, this news came a few months after sources said that Danica Patrick, Aaron’s current girlfriend, encouraged reconciliation.

Never mind

Unfortunately, it seems that any happy resolution has expired.

In January, Aaron paid a visit to “Pretty Intense,” a podcast hosted by Patrick, 37, where he spoke about his religion.

Rodgers told his sweetheart that despite growing up in a deeply religious family, he struggled with his beliefs.

“I don’t know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet to a fiery hell,” Rodgers said. “What type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?”

According to a source that spoke to People, Aaron’s family was upset by his comments.

“They were dismayed,” the source said. “To them, his comments are basically a slap in the face to the fundamentals of who they are.”

The source then hinted that Aaron and his family often would begin to mend their relationship before it fell apart once again.

“His comments are very hurtful to the family,” said the source. “They have these times where things start to thaw out, but then something like this happens, and then it’s back to square one. It’s sad.”

Britney Spears is ‘angry’ custody arrangement has reduced time she spends with sons: report

By

Britney Spears is not pleased with the custody arrangement she and ex Kevin Federline reached last year that decreased the amount of time she spends with her sons, according to a new report.

The 38-year-old singer and Federline, 41, share sons Sean Preston, 14, and Jayden, 13. In September, the former couple’s 50-50 custody arrangement was altered, with Britney receiving 30 percent in custodial rights while Federline was awarded 70 percent.

The altered arrangement followed a spat between Britney’s dad, Jamie Spears, and her son, Sean, who alleged his grandfather placed his hands on him. A source tells Us Weekly Britney’s relationship with her dad is still strained because it affected the time she now has with her boys.

“Britney hasn’t been spending time with her dad, and very much remains angry that she doesn’t have the boys as much as she did in the past,” an insider told the magazine.

Jamie, who served as Britney’s conservator until last fall, is still concerned the singer is in need of a “set schedule for work that keeps her busy,” said the insider.

A police report obtained by the magazine last August claimed Sean reportedly “felt unsafe” and locked himself in a room while the boys were visiting Jamie Spears in California. Jamie managed to break in and “shook” the teen.

Jamie suffered a ruptured colon in November 2018, prompting Britney to take an indefinite hiatus from her Las Vegas residency last January.
