Kate Hudson Can See Ghosts, But That's Not Even the Weirdest Part

Kate Hudson

Breaking news from Hollyweird: Kate Hudson sees dead people. More specifically, she and her mother Goldie Hawn see dead people, only she refers to it as "feeling a spirit." One time Hudson saw the ghost of a woman without a face, which she described as "really creepy." But don't worry that Kate Hudson is being constantly plagued by terrifying energies from beyond the grave, she totally has a method for banishing any spirits who are getting a little too close for comfort.

I ... can't believe I'm actually reporting on this, you guys. But what the heck, it's Friday and we could all use a little distraction, right? Maybe particularly when it comes in the form of a hilariously woo-woo celebrity.

Okay, so Kate Hudson recently appeared on a British talk show and she told host Alan Carr that both she and Hawn can sense "fifth energies":

Me and my mum Goldie can see dead people. It is not really seeing, it is feeling a spirit. A fifth energy. I believe in energy. I believe our brains can manifest into visual things.

You don't have to tell me twice, Kate! One time when I was in college I smoked a LOT of some sort of green plant and my brain totally manifested visual things too. A fifth energy appeared and gave me this really strong message that I should get a chocolate bar and repeatedly dip it directly into a jar of peanut butter while watching like three hours' worth of Ren & Stimpy cartoons.

Hudson says she knows a trick for sending away any unwanted spirits, like the shocking "ghost of a woman with no face" she once saw:

When you see something, you are supposed to tell the energy what year it is and that they don't belong there.

Greetings benign spirit ... I am sorry to inform you that you have arrived at the wrong temporal location ... it is the year 2014, O spirit, and it is probably a time of great confusion for you ... if you need convincing that you should depart for a simpler ghostly existence, please view this video of an entity named Miley Cyrus ...

Hudson added, strangely,

When your brain is freaking out on you, you may have to remind it. Why is being dead funny?

Wait, what? So is she saying that these fifth energies are all in her head? Or is she saying that she occasionally has to talk herself down from being startled by a spirit? And what does she mean, why is being dead funny? Does she think most people view death as humorous? Because, um, no. Not actually a common perception.

In conclusion, Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn sound delightfully kooky, and possibly like they've indulged in a lot of natural substances that grow from the earth and can occasionally encourage mind expansion in the form of fifth energies and creative junk food combinations.

Do you see fifth energies? Are you going to try Kate Hudson's banishment method soon? Are you high right now?

Leah Calvert Reveals the Devastating Truth About Her Custody Battle (VIDEO)

teen mom 2 leah calvert

Ever since they first starred on 16 and Pregnant, Leah Calvert and Corey Simms have always seemed to get along. Even while they were going through their divorce, their daughters, Ali and Aleeah, always came first. When they introduced their respective new spouses into the mix, things were again totally fine. Their co-parenting skills were admirable. But all good things must come to an end, it seems, because Corey is fighting Leah for full custody of the twins.

As we saw in last week's episode, Corey filed a petition with his lawyer to become the girls' primary parent, leaving Leah as the weekend parent. The two have also recently battled over Corey's child custody payments and medical rights over Ali. Basically, all is not well in the Calvert-Simms relationship.

And from the latest Teen Mom 2 video, we can see that Leah is actually legitimately concerned that the court will allow for the custody switch. It's so much more devastating than we expected:

We know there has been drama, but did anyone really honestly think that she'd lose custody?

From the looks of the video, it's definitely possible. Those tears don't lie. She's obviously truly and deeply concerned that Corey might get the girls full-time and we're absolutely heartbroken for her.

More from The Stir: Leah Calvert's Money Problems Finally Get the Best of Her

Since they were born, and especially after the couple's divorce, Leah has held primary custody. Sure, the parents haven't seen eye-to-eye. It's taken Corey a while to come around to the truth of Ali's diagnosis, and Leah has definitely made some mistakes along the way, especially when she skipped a few physical therapy appointments.

But neither is perfect and just the idea of losing time with her two oldest daughters is clearly tearing Leah apart. And because the situation is so much scarier than we originally thought, we can't blame her for getting emotional.

Let's hope the two figure it out soon, for the sake of the girls.

Who do you think should have primary custody of Ali and Aleeah?

Kailyn Lowry and Amber Portwood Reveal Surprising Truth About Their Salaries

Kailyn Lowry

Even though many of them appear to be struggling financially on TV, the stars of the Teen Mom series have to be making a decent amount of money for putting their lives out there for the world to see, right?

I mean, fame and recognition are kind of flattering and all, but considering how much these women expose about themselves, many people assume MTV is forking over a decent amount of cash.

Well, it looks as though we do have some new insight into how much the Teen Mom stars make. During a radio interview to promote their book tour, Kailyn Lowry and Amber Portwood dished on their salaries, and what they had to say is surprising at best.

Apparently there's a common assumption that the girls are required to put money aside into trust funds for their kids as opposed to pocketing it themselves and/or spending it.

But according to Amber and Kail, that simply isn't the case. Amber said, "I opened up a college Gerber Life Fund for Leah already. She's set for college right now. [MTV doesn't] necessarily do that for you, but you have that option."

Huh. Interesting.

And then Kail added that she has funds set aside for both of her children, and get this one -- their college tuition is already covered.

More fromThe Stir:Kailyn Lowry Takes Breastfeeding on Demand Way Too Seriously (PHOTO)

Um, excuse me? The cost of sending kids to college keeps going up and up every year, and at this point, it winds up being in the tens of thousands range in most cases.

If Amber and Kail already have that much money set aside for education purposes, then it must mean they're earning a pretty hefty paycheck for each season, right?

Hmm. It almost makes you wonder if they simply appear to lead more humble lifestyles for the sake of the show but are actually quite secure financially.

Wait -- didn't Leah Calvert just buy a horse and a new house? Huh. Food for thought, people.

How much do you think the stars of the Teen Mom series make?

Kendall Jenner

Well? Apparently modeling in the nude wasn't quite risqué enough for her, because Kendall Jenner shared a naked selfie on Instagram, confirming that she's not the least bit shy about showing off her gorgeous body.

It's hard to tell whether she's standing behind a shower curtain or if she's simply posed in front of the bathroom curtains, but one thing's for sure: Kendall is clearly in her birthday suit in this shot, and she wants everyone to know it.

Check it out.

You guys? She didn't even caption the pic, and honestly, why the hell should she have? What was she supposed to say? "Hey, look everyone! I'm naked! In my bathroom!"

While there is a definite element of understated sexiness to the pic, let's not forget that this is still a photo of an 18-year-old girl standing in front of the mirror in the nude!

More fromThe Stir:Kourtney Kardashian Posts Nude Pic of Kendall Jenner to Instagram (PHOTO)

I know she's pretty mature for her age and all, what with the whole modeling thing, but it just seems like she's a little too desperate to shock her fans at every chance she gets. At this rate, however, there's really not much else she can do to stop us in our tracks, so I shudder to think what kind of photo will pop up on Instagram next.

That being said, she does look gorgeous in the pic, and it's not like it's lewd or offensive in any way. If she's going to go to extreme lengths to remind us how sexy she is, at least she's being tasteful about it, right?

What do you think of Kendall's naked selfie?

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Shouldn't Work Together After 'The Voice'

Admit it: You love Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Even if you hate No Doubt, Bush, L.A.M.B., Harajuku, and whatever other bands/fashion lines/political parties they're associated with, there's no denying that they're a damn cute couple. And the fact that they've been married as long as they have (in Hollywood years) and still seem super in love -- it's impressive. But, as it turns out, there's a secret to the Stefani-Rossdale's marital success: They don't work together. Well, until now at least. In a recent interview, Stefani admitted that she and Rossdale fought about doing The Voice together.

"I went back and forth about having Gavin on [the show] because we have only collaborated on babies before," Stefani said at a press event for the show. "I was really overwhelmed that Gavin was actually going to be on The Voice with me, and we got in a little fight about it the night before because I was like, 'I don’t know if I can handle this. It’s just too much.'" Of course, after the couple did the show together, everything went "awesome," according to Stefani, but it's interesting how, despite both being in music, they never worked together after 12 years of marriage. I never consciously realized that before, but seems like a smart idea. It's rare that business and pleasure complement each other, and it's important for people in relationships to have some aspects of their lives that remain separate.

When I heard that Rossdale was going to appear on The Voice with his wife, my interest was definitely piquéd, and I'm sure I'll tune in. But it's probably wise that the couple don't make a habit of collaborating after this, no matter how "awesome" it went. Surely, it'll be great to watch them on-screen together, but it'll definitely be even better to see them married for 12 more years.

Are you looking forward to seeing Gwen and Gavin on The Voice? Are you surprised they've been together this long?!

Andi Dorfman Josh Murray

Oh ... this chick. She'll do anything to stay in the spotlight, huh? Celeb Dirty Laundry is reporting that Andi Dorfman wants to be on Couple’s Therapy -- just so she can get back on the small screen. (Eye roll.)

In fact, The Bachelorette star is supposedly so eager to land a spot on another television show that she's even willing to manipulate the public into thinking her engagement to Josh Murray is in crisis mode.

(Seriously?)

According to this crazy new rumor, the Georgia gal is pretty pissed that not only did she fail to make it onto season 19 of Dancing With the Stars, but her dream of having a televised wedding has also been flushed down the toilet, too. Apparently ABC might choose to air Michelle Money and Cody Sattler's wedding in lieu of Andi and Josh's, which has to sting a little considering Michelle and Cody aren't even engaged yet!

More fromThe Stir:Andi Dorfman & Josh Murray's TV Wedding Might Already Be Called Off

But let's just assume for one second that this story is true, and Andi is desperate to get back into the spotlight. What on Earth is a girl to do?!? Ahh. That's right. Fake your problems so you can get on Couple’s Therapy. Jackpot!

(Sheesh.)

The rumor mill goes on to suggest that Andi is feeling very inspired, especially since her BFF Nikki Ferrell and Juan Pablo Galavis are currently appearing on the show. My only problem with this is that Nikki and Juan Pablo's issues are totally believable (we've all seen him in action, right?).

But I highly doubt Andi and Josh are good enough actors to make us believe that their relationship is as cold as ice ... or are they?

Hmm. I guess we'll just have to wait and see whether or not another reality TV show is in their future. In the meantime, we should probably go ahead and give them the benefit of the doubt, right?

Do you think Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray should be on Couple's Therapy?

'Game of Thrones' Season 5 Spoilers Bring Back Fan Fave From the Dead (VIDEO)

tywin lannister

So it's no secret that Game of Thrones features, well, a lot of death. The author of the book series, George R. R. Martin, clearly has no fear of killing off fans' favorite characters. From cough to ahem to pardon me to nudge nudge (trying not to spoil it for you GoT virgins!), we've experienced all five stages of grief when it comes to some of these beloved characters kicking the bucket. Red Wedding, anyone? Season 1, episode 9 shocker, anyone?

All right, all right, now that we got that out of the way, it's time to stop talking in vagueness. There are GAME OF THRONES SPOILERS ahead.

One of the most shocking deaths from season 4 and from A Storm of Swords took place when badass TyrionLannister shot his father TywinLannister with an arrow to a gut, causing Tywin to die right on the crapper. But the incredible actor who plays him, Charles Dance, revealed that Tywin is actually going to come back for season 5.

WTF?!?!

HUH?!?

How's that even possible?

Listen, the man himself says so!

See this video on The Stir by CafeMom.

Does that mean, in season 5, we'll be getting more of this?

charles dance

And this?

Whoops, how did that get in there!

Anyway, let's hope so. Because with the deaths of him and Joffrey, the two villains we love to hate, someone's gonna have to really step up to fill their absence on this show.

"I'm not completely missing out on the next series ... haHA! You haven't seen the last of Tywin Lannister," Dance warns.

More from The Stir: 'Game of Thrones' Blooper Reel Is EXACTLY As Great As It Sounds (VIDEO)

So could it be the same as what took place when King Joffrey was poisoned, and he was shown lying there dead as his parents got it on next to his corpse?

But as MTV correctly pointed out, there could be an appearance by Maggy the Frog, a fortune teller who sees into Tywin's daughter Cersei's past. Perhaps Tywin will show up during those flashbacks.

Regardless, Charles Dance seriously just owned that role as Tywin Lannister, and it would be great to see him come back in whatever capacity. Even if he came back in ghost form to haunt Tyrion or the White Walkers bring him back to life or ... okay, just kidding. Still, a flashback with a little Crazy Cersei would be so much more interesting than watching him lying there as a corpse, so let's hope these rumors prove to be true.

How do you think Tywin Lannister will come back in season 5?

Kourtney Kardashian Has Good Reason to Fear Scott Disick Leaving Her

Post by Kiri Blakeley.

Kourtney Kardashian Scott DisickHas Kourtney Kardashian finally had one baby too many? We all saw how Scott Disick didn't seem thrilled when Kourt announced her pregnancy (that would be an understatement), and now rumor has it that she's "terrified" that Scott will leave her before the third child is born.

A source supposedly close to the couple told Life & Style magazine:

She’s terrified she’s going to end up a single mother, dumped in the delivery room. Kourtney will be left with three children and no one to father them. Kourtney feels scared and alone. She never thought she would be in this position.

Yikes, if there's even a grain of truth to this, it sounds utterly terrible. However, hard to believe that Scott would walk out on his family in the delivery room! Especially with KUWTK cameras capturing every moment.

The two have always had a tumultuous relationship, though they always seem to work through their issues. But it was also clear that Scott, still grieving the loss of his parents, wasn't quite ready for baby number three. "You just keep suckering me into these kids," he ungallantly told Kourtney when she broke the news.

It's not like Scott would just ditch his children. He may have substance abuse issues, but he clearly loves his children. Whether or not he will bail on Kourtney, who, after all, still won't marry him, is another issue.

Plus, let's face it, as long as the KUWTK gravy train is rolling, Scott will stick around. After that? Who knows. But these two have overcome a lot and my guess is they will overcome this. At least for awhile.

Do you think Scott will leave?

Mama June and Sugar Bear Separate After She Discovers His Cheating Ways

Mama June, Sugar Bear

Say it ain't so! Mama June and Sugar Bear Thompson look like they're headed to splitsville. Honey Boo Boo's parents have separated and are taking "some time apart to figure out some things."

Although they never legally wed, they celebrated with a commitment ceremony last year, complete with Mama June Shannon resplendent in camo-and-orange formalwear. It seems as though Mama was right when she decided to forego the legal bonds of matrimony.

Sources tell TMZ that Mama June is convinced that Sugar Bear is cheating on her. She's apparently caught him trolling online on dating sites, including plentyoffish.com, where he supposedly goes by the username Georgiafighter31054.

The profile describes a "non-smoker with undisclosed body type" who "wants a relationship." It also says, "i love to hunt fish and ride 4wheelers and havfe a good time. i luve muddy Boggs and love to ride in the mudd."

More from The Stir: Mama June Is Driving Sugar Bear Away

Mama June has reportedly stopped wearing her wedding ring (commitment ring?) and is planning to move out with the kids once the latest round of filming for Here Comes Honey Boo Boo wraps. She wants to be closer to relatives, likely so they can take care of her and feed her comfort foods like sketti.

Producers are said to be scrambling to figure out what's next. Or how to capitalize on their separation. That last one is just my own speculation, by the way.

In a statement to TMZ, June and Sugar Bear said:

Sugar Bear and I have decided to take some time apart to figure out some things in our relationship. We are taking things day by day but regardless of what happens the girls will always be our #1 priority. We want to thank y'all for your support.

Are you surprised by this news?

Jessa Duggar May Have Just Dropped a Major Hint About Her Wedding (PHOTO)

jessa duggar

The November 1 wedding date of Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald is fast-approaching, and they've only been engaged for a few months, so you know what that means: The couple is in hard-core preparation mode right now. It's doubtful that anyone was ever under the impression that Ben and Jessa were going to have a Real Housewives-esque wedding, but the adorable pair's nuptials (and party afterward) may be much more low-key and DIY than we thought. Whether she realized it or not, Jessa just dropped a major hint about her wedding with one, singular Instagram photo.

The bride-to-be posted a picture of herself outside of a Goodwill on Thursday, along with the caption, "Ahh, I love shoppin' at Goodwill!!!! We've got 5 big, super nice Goodwills within a 15 mile radius! #spoiled #BuyUsedSaveTheDifference."

[code][/code]

Now, since it's unlikely that Jessa is doing random clothes and/or home shopping a month and a half away from her wedding, one could assume that some of the decorations, etc., will be compliments of Goodwill on the big day. Following in the footsteps of her mom, Michelle, who had one of the most low-key, laid-back weddings of all time (she wore her mother-in-law's wedding dress!), Jessa has already admitted to not wanting to spend too much money on her wedding, so she and Ben can splurge on their first vacation together. "I don't want to spend a whole bunch of money and buy a new set of decorations," Jessa told People after getting engaged. "We will save that money for the honeymoon." Good idea.

I'm curious to see what Jessa and Ben's wedding will wind up being like. Since the only hint she's dropped thus far is a Goodwill photo (which may not be much of a hint at all), I'm thinking lots of mason jars and vases. Hey, you can never go wrong with a mason jar.

What do you think Jessa and Ben's wedding will be like?

Well, we've come to the end of the road -- in more ways than one, but I'll get to that later. Today on The Real Deal, we've got the finale of Bravo's Extreme Guide to Parenting, with what's legitimately extreme, what's not, and all sorts of behind the scenes elements I noticed. Also, a Twitter question and a very big announcement from yours truly!

This week, we meet the Axnesses, and right off the bat, Nate Axness is giving viewers hives. Twitter blew up last night discussing whether Nate is a controlling husband, and whether wife and mother of 16-month-old Ella, Christian Axness, is truly on board with her husband's decisions.

One by one, in today's video below, I examine the parental strategy of the Axness family, from natural birth to sign language, placenta encapsulation, elimination communication, and more. By the way, does "elimination communication" make you want to sing that old song "Accentuate the Positive, Eliminate the Negative"? Because of course that's where I went with it. And then there's vaccination. Oh BOY ... is there. I give you lots of talking points on that.

Finally, you may have heard one big piece of news in my life recently, but I guarantee you haven't heard the other big news yet. What in the world am I talking about? Watch the video to see!

Kim Kardashian Wants to Appear On 'Downton Abbey'

Hmm... Lady K sounds like it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Rumor has it that Kim Kardashian wants to appear on Downtown Abbey as she tries to shed her reality star image.

In fact, she's so desperate to land a guest role on the hit British series that she's already making steps to make sure that happens for the next season.

Apparently, Kimmy Cakes got the idea after hearing that George Clooney landed a surprise role on the historical drama (who knew she was such a fan, right?). According to The Daily Mail, she even reached out to actress Laura Carmichael - who plays Lady Edith Crawley - about the possibility of a cameo. She allegedly said:

I'm a big fan. I'd love to be on it if they asked. I love things like that.

First off, while I totally applaud Kim for wanting to shed her reality television reputation, I just don't think she's ready to star on a show like Downton Abbey. I mean, could you imagine her trying to fake a British accent? Or heck, I don't think she could fit her curves in the show's costumes either (because let's face it, she does have a 21st century body!). Still, it would be interesting to see her try to mingle with the rest of the cast.

'Bachelor' Chris Soules' Cast Member Names Have Been Leaked!

Chris Soules

Filming for the new season of The Bachelor is just days away, so it was only a matter of time before we learned the identities of the lucky ladies who will vie for Chris Soules' heart.

Although ABC hasn't officially revealed them yet, Reality Steve has leaked four Bachelor contestants' names and photos, and if these gals give any indication as to what we can expect this season, Chris is in for a real treat.

Oh, and did I mention he apparently must prefer blondes?

Yep. All of the ladies Reality Steve unveiled look so much alike, it's kind of eerie. They're all blond, gorgeous, and must not mind the idea of living on a farm in Iowa and being all domestic, if I had to hazard a guess.

Here's what we know about these lucky ladies so far.

1. Tandra Steiner, 30 -- Lives in Salt Lake City, Utah, and works as an Executive Assistant for Overstock.com. She's also a model and a "motorcycle enthusiast."

2. Whitney Bischoff, 29 -- Lives in Chicago but hails from Kentucky. She's a Registered Nurse at the Fertility Centers of Illinois.

3. Evie Steenhoek, 30 -- Lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She's a manager at the Riverside Jet Center. Oh, and she's also a pin-up girl.

4. Michelle Bayne, 30 -- Lives in San Diego, and works as a marketing associate for Volcano Corporation. She also supposedly teaches XTend Barre classes on the side.

But aside from the blonde thing, do you notice something else all of these ladies have in common? Yep. They're older. (I didn't say old. I said older.)

Meaning they're not 21, so odds are good that they're truly looking for a man to settle down and start a family with versus date and "see where things go."

More fromThe Stir:Chris Soules Headed to Unexpected Location for 'Bachelor' 2015

Of course, I guess we can't jump to any conclusions until the entire cast is revealed, but it is quite interesting how similar these four women are, considering their identities were probably leaked randomly.

But if Chris really does have a definite type, it looks like he really can't go wrong on his search for love. If the other cast members are as beautiful and successful as these ladies, Chris might even find himself falling for more than one of them, which could prove to be a blessing and a curse for sure.

What kind of woman do you think Chris will wind up with?

Kailyn Lowry Disses Jo Rivera Where It Really Hurts

Jo RiveraZing! Kailyn Lowry and her ex Jo Rivera have definitely had their ups and downs when it comes to co-parenting their 4-year-old son Isaac, but for the most part, we thought they had it all figured out. But Kail's true feelings about her baby daddy's parenting skills may have slipped out in the form of a passive aggressive "compliment."

The Teen Mom 2 star had an emotional time on this week's episode, when she had to say goodbye to Isaac for a six-week stint with his dad. She was obviously worried about Jo's ability to care for Isaac consistently for that long, since he's used to having him for shorter periods of time.

The reality star recently did an interview with Lunchbox on The Bobby Bones Show, where she was asked if she believed Jo was a decent dad. 

"Yeah, to the best of his ability," she answered. "I'm the mom so I have different standards. I just feel like nothing compares to the job I do."

Whoa! To the best of his ability? She might as well just come out and say he's good at keeping Isaac alive, but beyond that you can't expect too much from the guy. You know, because he's incapable of normal human interaction. Because she doesn't like him. Because he's her ex.

It's always rough when parents split up -- parenting is hard enough when you actually like the person who contributed half your kid's DNA. So you have this person that broke your heart, that you'd like never to see again maybe, and you're not only stuck with them for life, but you have to hand over a piece of your heart to them every time you drop them off at your ex's.

But you have to trust that your kid's other parent is doing a good job ... even if it's to the best of his ability. Maybe you just shouldn't say it out loud.

Do you think Kailyn Lowry should've kept her opinion on Jo Rivera's parenting to herself?

Melissa Rivers Reveals Shocking Celebrity Who Sent Condolences for Joan (VIDEO)

Post by Kiri Blakeley.

Joan RiversJoan Rivers may have been was definitely an acerbic comedian and no one was safe from her zingers -- but that didn't mean she wasn't loved. Her daughter, Melissa, even seems flustered and touched by how much people mourned Joan's unexpected death. In fact, there was at least one very surprising person who sent Melissa his condolences -- somebody who had often found himself on the sharp end of Joan's acid tongue. That person? A little somebody named President Obama.

Melissa joined the cast of Fashion Police for the first time since her mom passed away, and she told how her mom affected so many people, even people "you would never expect to have humor." That's when she dropped the bomb that the White House sent her a letter.

Revealing that "someone who was often a target of her jokes" -- Obama -- sent her a hand-written note saying:

Not only did she make us laugh, she made us think.

Melissa looks stunned by the memory of the letter -- and indeed you do have wonder what Obama was referring to, since Joan often called him "gay" and Michelle a "tranny." She once told a reporter who asked her if there would ever be a gay president:

We already have it with Obama, so let's just calm down. And you know Michelle is trans.

Erm, Obama, are you trying to tell us something?? Hey, maybe our prez just has a sense of humor. This is the guy who appeared on Zach Galifianakis' Between Two Ferns. As for Michelle, she does embarrassing mom dancing with Jimmy Fallon. C'mon, as world leaders go, these two are hilarious.

FP cohost Kelly Osbourne, who is clearly devastated, goes on to say that she owes Joan everything for who she is:

Any outspoken woman couldn't be who they are if it wasn't for women like Joan paving the way.

I think one thing her death showed is that people are not as sensitive as we like to believe. Sure, Joan calling Adele "fat" or North West "ugly" wasn't exactly classy, but that's not what comedians are about. They are the people in our society who are allowed to say whatever they want, allowed to speak their truth, because they can make us laugh too.

So it's nice to see that Obama and Michelle didn't take that whole gay tranny thing too seriously. Besides, if Clinton can be the first black president, why can't Obama can be the first gay one?

Jennifer LawrenceAre Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Martin getting serious? It seems so. I'll admit I was the first one to doubt they were truly dating and this was probably all conjecture, but it seems pretty obvious now that the two -- despite not being photographed in public yet -- are getting closer than ever and there's plenty of witnesses to back it up. JLaw recently appeared in a black cropped top at a Coldplay concert in Las Vegas at the IHeartMusic festival, and sources say she had a "glisten" in her eyes while she watched Chris put on a particularly show-offy show.

It's uncertain how anyone could have seen her eyes "glisten" but, hey, let's hear it anyway. An insider told E! News:

She knew every word to every song and there was a glisten in her eye as she watched Chris perform. She couldn't take her eyes off him.

Hm, well, generally when you're watching a concert, you DO tend to keep your eyes on the frontman. But it seems pretty gosh darn confirmed that the two are a couple now!

And get this. The insider continues:

Jennifer stared adoringly at Chris, both hands in the hair, dancing and singing along to 'Magic.'

Ya hear that folks? Adoringly!

I'm not sure what makes this pair so unlikely -- possibly the age difference (17 years) and the fact that JLaw is about as far from Gwyneth Paltrow as you can get.

As for Gwynnie, she seems to be taking her ex's new girltoy (if the genders were reversed, he would be her "boytoy" so I'm goin' there, people) in stride, reportedly telling a pal: "Hey, he could do worse."

Still, I was holding out hope the two would consciously re-couple, at least for the kids, but it doesn't look like that's gonna happen now. Not when you've got a little hottie like JLaw staring adoringly at you.

Do you believe they're a couple now?

Kendall Jenner Slammed for Having Cellulite on Her Legs

A few F-words come to mind when we think of Kendall Jenner. Famous. Fabulously pretty. Filthy stinking rich.

But fat? No fat chance.

Yet the model, who is proving herself as a fashionable force to be reckoned with on runways as near as New York and as far as Milan, is apparently catching flack from a few deranged fashionistas, who consider her too fat to be a great clothes hanger.

After photos of Kendall surfaced showing her walking for Tommy Hilfiger wearing a teeny bikini, some have criticized Kim's little sister for appearing to have a bit of cellulite on the backs of her legs. Everyone should have a BFF like Ireland Baldwin, because Alec's amazing daughter didn't take the gossip lightly.

After it was suggested that certain folks in the industry want Kendall to lose weight -- as if that's even possible -- Ireland took to Twitter to defend her friend by saying, "I just saw a magazine cover of Kendall Jenner where is (as usual) looks thin and beautiful and FAMOUS decided to photoshop some cottage cheese on the back of her thigh. Uh. let me tell you. that girl has flawless legs. I’ve seen them in person plenty of times…"

Good for her. Whether you're a fan of the Kardashian/Jenner clan or wouldn't cry if they disappeared completely from the public eye, negative talk about a stick-thin 18-year-old girl does not help women. The only thing it does is perpetuate this idea that women must be absolutely flawless -- not a mark, not a pock, not a single ounce of extra flesh on them.

Some are claiming these photos of Kendall are photoshopped to look like she has cellulite. This isn't out of the realm of possibility since we hear she's been bullied by a few models who feel she hasn't had to work as hard as them to earn her place in this year's Fashion Week shows.

Since we've never been face-to-leg with Kendall's limbs, we can't confirm their silky smoothness. But that, of course, isn't the point. She's young, gorgeous, and working hard. It isn't fair for anyone to take away from that with petty insults about her body.

Do you think models like Kendall open themselves up to harsh criticism about their bodies?

Kim Kardashian Latest Victim of Nude Photo Leak

Post by Michele Zipp.

kim kardashianKim Kardashian isn't a stranger to having nude photos leaked online. Earlier this year some of her outtakes from her Playboy shoot were published without permission. This seems to be the thing lately. First there was the Jennifer Lawrence nude photo leak, with nude pictures of Kate Upton, and Kirsten Dunst were also shared. And now more photos of Kim naked have surfaced, along with pictures of Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Hudgens, Hope Solo, Lake Bell, and Leelee Sobieski.

It's disgusting that someone would do this -- it took one person to make the decision to share the photo or not. That person shouldn't have done it.

It doesn't matter if the celebrity has been nude in movies or in a magazine because that was by choice. That was a controlled situation and approved by the celebrity. If someone stole a photo or even if another person had a photo they took of someone naked in a private setting and then they go and share it with the world ... perhaps for pay or fame or revenge -- that's criminal.

The photos were put on Reddit and 4chan, but were taken down. It was said that Kim wasn't wearing her wedding ring in the pics, so they may have been taken years ago.

The FBI is investigating and we can do our part by not looking or searching for those photos. We shouldn't join those who have violated others.

What do you think of this nude photo leak situation going on?

Mama June and Sugar Bear Ditch Their 'Commitment' Rings After Split (PHOTOS)

Post by Jenny Erikson.

Mama June, Sugar BearJust hours after Mama June Shannon and Mike "Sugar Bear" Thompson announced they were seperating, the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo clan continued filming for their hit reality show. I'm sure that won't boost the ratings at all (sarc).

Hey, the show must go on, right? But the rings must come off. Both Mama June and Sugar Bear were spotted without their rings on Friday September 19.

While not legally married, the two had a wedding in 2013, and celebrated a commitment ceremony rather than a legal exchanging of the vows. Hmmm, do you think Mama knew something was up even back then in terms of whether or not they'd really last as a couple?

Anyway, they may have skipped the piece of paper declaring them husband and wife, but that doesn't mean they didn't exchange rings, which they both appear to have ditched already.

Mama June even appeared to be in good spirits.

Mama June

Sugar Bear didn't look quite so jolly, but was equally ringless. Hard to meet dates from your online dating profile when you're wearing a commitment ring. Sugar Bear

Rings are such a symbol of your attachment to your partner. It's a statement that says you're unavailable -- your life is hitched to another person's. I think the fact that they've taken them off says a lot about their finality as a couple.

Do you think Mama June and Sugar Bear will ever get back together?
