Kendall Jenner has logged another New York fashion week in her model portfolio. Many people argue that Kendall didn’t pay her dues because her name allowed her to skate toward the front of the line. Like I said when Kendall was busily dissing tattoos, she’ll score a Vogue cover sooner rather than later. I don’t have a problem with Kendall’s instant success because she’s making money for designers. Yeah, she got her first gigs through nepotism; but if famous connections were all it takes for runway success, then Riley Keough would be a supermodel. That’s not the case.
We’ve heard before that Kendall’s fellow runway models may not appreciate her presence. At the last NYFW, a source named not-Kris Jenner leaked word that girls put out their ciggies in Kendall’s drinks. There was never any evidence that the story was true, but it’s not hard to believe. A brand new story does come with evidence. Here’s a screencap of a photo from Vogue German’s Instagram. This picture shows Kendall backstage at the Donna Karan show on Monday. The comments are very telling.
Two NYFW models threw shade at Kendall in the comments. You probably won’t recognize their names (I didn’t), and they must have thought no one would notice. Lexi typed “never looked better,” and Binx replied, “that’s f*** up>.” Both girls typed little crying/laughing emojis that communicate shade from the cool kids.
After everyonce noticed this high school behavior, Lexi’s rep scrambled up a statement: “I wasn’t thinking and made a silly comment. Kendall’s had a killer NYFW. A big congrats to her!” Riiight.
Binx kept it real by refusing to back down. She tweeted the following:
The season of the entitled

I’m including some photos of Lexi and Binx. Lexi has graced the cover of Teen Vogue (alongside Gigi Hadid). She also modelled in the Balmain Army alongside Kendall and Kim Kardashian last fall. Lexi is top left in this picture.
Here’s a photo of the unapologetic Binx.

Before we talk about A-Rod, I wanted to talk briefly about another cheater, Lance Armstrong, who has met his own reckoning this week. The last time we talked about Lance, he was letting his girlfriend take the fall for his hit and run. Lance just pled guilty to careless driving and paid a nominal fine. But! We’re seeing results in his doping scandal, finally, for which he has been unrepentant. Lance has been ordered to pay $10 million to the sports insurance industry that funded his Tour de France bonuses. I doubt they’ll ever see their money.
Another doper, Alex Rodriguez, is preparing to make a comeback after a season suspension from the New York Yankees. A-Rod took performance enhancing drugs from (at least) 2010-12. He apologized yesterday in a letter released to ESPN:
“I take full responsibility for the mistakes that led to my suspension for the 2014 season. I regret that my actions made the situation worse than it needed to be. To Major League Baseball, the Yankees, the Steinbrenner family, the Players Association and you, the fans, I can only say I’m sorry. I accept the fact that many of you will not believe my apology or anything that I say at this point. I understand why and that’s on me. It was gracious of the Yankees to offer me the use of Yankee Stadium for this apology but I decided the next time I am in Yankee Stadium, I should be in pinstripes doing my job.”
[From ESPN]
That’s a decent, PR-written apology. Maybe he’s owning up to his mistakes and regrets his actions? Suckers. ESPN magazine just published an in-depth interview with A-Rod, who made several off-the-cuff statements about his PED use. Among them, A-Rod believes he didn’t really dope because whatever he took didn’t make his game better. He thinks he was supplied with a placebo. Really! “Only me. Only a dope like me would do that stuff and have the two worst statistical seasons of my career.” Yeah, he’s not really taking responsibility.
Page Six is calling bullsh*t on A-Rod’s mea culpa letter. They point out that Alex wants to be recognized for apologizing but he also wants to be seen as an innocent. What a douche. Even if (and that’s a big IF) A-Rod only took a placebo, he fully intended to cheat his way to a better baseball performance.
There’s a special place in Xenu’s volcano for pro athletes who dope. It’s a widespread problem, and the news keeps on coming. The female winner of last year’s Boston Marathon, Rita Jeptoo, was caught doping too. I guess these athletes are tempted by the money rewards, but it bugs. Real competitors were knocked down by Lance, A-Rod, Rita, and their needles.

This is a photos of Lorenzo Lamas, his wife Shawna Craig (the brunette) and his daughter Shayne Lamas (the blonde) and her husband. Shayne Lamas is 28 years old. Shawna Craig is 27 years old. Shawna is also her step-daughter’s surrogate. This is happening, people. Shayne Lamas was having major issues carrying a fetus to term, so Shayne asked her stepmother – who is a year younger – to be her surrogate. Modern family, eh?
ONLY in the new issue of ‘Closer Weekly,’ Shayne Lamas — who recently announced she was having a baby via surrogate — exclusively reveals the very special woman carrying her baby is her stepmom, Shawna Craig!
“Shawna’s not just my stepmother, she’s like a soul sister,” Shayne, 29, gushes in the new issue of ‘Closer.’ Shawna, 28, is the fifth wife of her father, Lorenzo Lamas. “She’s an angel that blessed my whole family, including my father.”
Last year, Shayne lost a baby boy she was carrying after a rare uterine rupture and found out she and husband Nik Richie could never have kids again. But Shawna, who insists she never desired a baby of her own, works for a fertility agency that connects couples who can’t get pregnant with egg donors and surrogates and realized she could help Shayne and Nik.
“I’m ecstatic to be pregnant. It’s the best thing in the world,” Shawna, due on July 10, tells ‘Closer.’ ‘Closer Weekly’ can also reveal that the couple is expecting a baby boy! Shayna says while the situation isn’t ordinary, this baby has helped bring the entire family closer.
“It is weird. Somebody else carrying your baby is weird. But I lost my son, and now Shawna is carrying my son. I have just been given the biggest blessing in the whole world and I will always be grateful,” Shayna told ‘Closer.’
[From Closer Weekly]
My take: this is mostly an unusual and surprisingly touching story of two women who are like sisters, with one woman making a tremendously selfless act to help her friend. The fact that they’re family members is wonderful. But the ick factor comes in when you realize that Lorenzo Lamas is 57 years old and married to his fifth wife, and the wife is one year younger than his oldest daughter. But still… everyone involved is a consenting adult and it’s fine. I hope everything turns out okay.

One of my favorite conspiracies involving Jay-Z and Beyonce is that they’ve both shaved a few years off their ages. Beyonce gets that a lot, and I always pay special attention to those conspiracies, because I swear, she really has shaved a few years off. But I never really knew what to make of the Jay-Z claims – last year, a DJ said that Jay is closer to 50 years old, as opposed to his “official” age of 45. Why bring this up? I was reading this Radar/Enquirer story about some 21-year-old guy claiming to be Jay-Z’s long-lost son, and it reminded me of how much I dislike the other Jay-Z conspiracies floating around about all of his various children and baby-mamas.
Music superstar Jay Z has been hit with a shocking claim that could potentially rock his marriage to wife Beyonce: According to court documents, he is currently tied up in an ugly legal battle with a man who claims he is the rapper’s son!
The National ENQUIRER has uncovered explosive papers that show that Shawn Corey Carter was sued by 21-year-old Rymir Satterthwaite, an aspiring rapper, in 2014. Satterthwaite told a New Jersey court that his mother, Wanda, had a steamy affair with Jay Z in the 1990s, and that HOVA has done everything in his power to cover it up. According to the magazine, Satterthwaite, through his legal guardian – a paralegal name Lillie Colley – accused Blue Ivy’s dad of lying to the court to avoid taking a paternity test.
In 2010, a judge dismissed a similar case in which Satterthwaite’s mother tried to force Jay Z to submit the paternity test after another man turned out not to be the young man’s father.
However, The ENQUIRER reports that the judge dismissed the case only because he ruled that his court lacked jurisdiction over Jay Z, and not because the court concluded that he was not Satterthwaite’s biological father! The dismissal of the case paved the road for Coley, Satterthwaite’s guardian, to file the 2014 civil lawsuit. In the papers, obtained by The ENQUIRER, Coley alleges that Jay Z and his lawyer, Lisa Fisher, provided “false” and “fraudulent” information to the judge, arguing that he lied to the court when claiming that he lived in New York and not in New Jersey, where he reportedly owns three houses.

You can see a photo of Satterhwaite here at Radar. There does seem to be a resemblance, especially around the mouth. The Enquirer also spoke to a plastic surgeon who says yeah, Jay-Z and Satterhwaite sort of look alike. Radar also points out that in 2011, Jay-Z paid Shanelle Scott $1 million for keeping his name off of the birth certificate of her then-13-year-old son. Did that really happen? And I remember that there were rumors that he had fathered a child with a French woman too, right?
Anyway, while this is sort of interesting, is it really a “scandal” to say that a then-single twenty-something might have fathered a kid? It’s not like he was “cheating” on Beyonce (that time).

Hazel gets her play on!
Emily Blunt, 31, was spotted in Los Angeles taking her daughter Hazel to an indoor playground. It looked as if Hazel was having a good time, but she was a bit camera shy.
The last time we saw Emily Blunt out and about with her daughter, they were both doing a bit of Christmas shopping. It looks like these two ladies have a fairly active lifestyle. We like it, because we enjoy the adorable pics!

Jenna Bush decided to keep her baby’s sex a surprise, but everyone kept telling her that she was going to be having a baby boy, so she started to plan for having a boy, but there was a major surprise in store for her.
Little did she know, she was going to have a little baby girl — Mila:
“We didn’t find out the gender, but literally everyone thought I was having a boy, including random strangers who would approach me at coffee shops, the drugstore, etc. I figured they must all be onto something, so I was convinced too – so much so, I painted the nursery blue. That was a big surprise!”
