Reality stars Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett stepped out with their two kids – son little Hank, 5, and 1-year-old daughter Alijah – on Friday (June 19).

While bouncing a basketball, the Girls Next Door alum, 30, and her family-of-four walked little Hank to his basketball game in Calabasas, Calif.

Although they’ve had a hard year, Kendra sent heartfelt Father’s Day wishes via Instagram Sunday.

“There’s a special group of people who truly know about @hank_baskett and his heart,” she captioned the family photos. “I wish there was a way for the world to see it but at the end of the day the only thing that matters are our 2 kids and how they love and appreciate their papa… Being coach of the sports teams, being involved with school events, praying with them every night before bed and simply loving every minute with them is what I get to see every day. He is THE definition of a FATHER and I couldn’t thank the lord any more for him. Happy Fathers Day @hank_baskett your babies and I love you with every beat of our hearts.”

We hope Hank had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend!

I’m sort of enjoying all of the pearl-clutching over Brandi Glanville and her seemingly abrupt exit from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It’s looking more and more like Bravo executives made the decision to kick Brandi to the curb – her exit was not Brandi’s decision in any way. So why did it happen? Because Brandi is a “diva”. Because she’s mouthy and drunk. Because she… brought manufactured drama to a reality show? Are we kicking drama queens off of reality shows now? Granted, I don’t watch any of the Real Housewife shows, but here’s my Pro Tip: Brandi is pretty much the only Real Housewife that I spend any time on professionally. Which means she’s good for business, whether your business is blogging or producing reality shows. Anyway, here are some stories percolating through the interwebs:

Brandi is a diva. One source told People Magazine: “Brandi got too big for her britches. She was a diva, and it came around to bite her. By the end, she couldn’t get along with anyone, and no one wanted to shoot with her.” Ouch. Brandi responded via Twitter: “I’ve never been called a diva in my life – I’m a complete team player just ask my friends! #girlsgirl. I think the news outlets should ask people that have actually worked with me if I’m a diva @LeezaGibbons @nbc @realDonaldTrump”.

Brandi is a liability. Because apparently there are “insurance issues” with filming drunk bitches catfighting? Perhaps. A source tells Dish Nation, “Bravo and production were over it and she basically became a liability. Believe or not, she became too toxic for the show and just didn’t fit in any longer…Brandi was told she was let go from the show nearly a week ago, and she’s already freaking out. As much as she’d like to move on to her own venture, she really needs the Housewives money.” I too am worried about what Brandi would do for a revenue stream post-RHOBH. Her books are successful and she could probably do paid appearances in LA and Las Vegas. Maybe she could figure out a way to do her own reality show?

Brandi might hit rock bottom. The same source tells Dish Nation: “She’s been in a dark place for a while now, this was bound to happen. Friends are holding out hope that this might be her rock bottom. It was easy for Brandi to drink too much and cause drama on the show just to make sure she’d appear in most of the segments. Without that excuse, she’s going to have to face herself in her everyday life.” This source really wants to say that Brandi is an alcoholic. Is she? Or is she just a heavy social drinker?

Brandi might come back to RHOBH. Sources tell TMZ that Brandi was “difficult and erratic” on the set of RHOBH but that producers haven’t completely given up on her. Like, they’re not going to replace her outright… yet. TMZ says the producers are “hoping Brandi views this as a ‘Come to Jesus’ and if she comes back for occasional visits, she can prove to them she can act appropriately enough so she doesn’t get in the way of production.” This “guest appearance” thing would mean that Brandi would have to admit that she was and is a mess AND it would mean less money.

Dear Gossips,

Drake showed up at the Much Music Video Awards last night in Toronto, hosted by Ed Sheeran. It was a surprise. He was there to honour and celebrate his boy P Reign who really didn’t expect Drake to show, as he said afterwards that:

“I honestly didn’t know (he’d be here). He …

Us Weekly was the first to report that Charlize Theron and Sean Penn had ended their engagement and broken up. Us Weekly reported that last week, although it seems like Charlize and Sean have been done for almost a month, pretty much after the Cannes Film Festival. So, what happened? Radar said that Penn was “overly critical” of Charlize and that she just reached her breaking point, and that Penn was still trying to get back with her. And now Us Weekly – the outlet that broke the news – has some more info.

Straight to voicemail. Charlize Theron and Sean Penn appeared more in love than ever, but just like that, the Mad Max: Fury Road actress stopped picking up her phone. An insider close to Penn tells Us Weekly exclusively that Theron abruptly stopped speaking with the actor during the Cannes Film Festival last month.

“Charlize wasn’t responding to his calls and texts,” the source tells Us. “She just cut it off.”

Us broke the news in December 2014 that the longtime friends became secretly engaged after a year of dating, and of their split on Wednesday. Theron, 39, and The Gunman actor, 54, kept close at Cannes in the south of France, which makes the news even more shocking.

“Sean and Charlize looked very happy together while at the Hotel Du Cap,” a second onlooker tells Us, “with no signs of tension or a breakup.”

The stars may not be speaking for now, but they will be bumping into each other in the future. Penn recently wrapped directing the drama The Last Face, which stars Theron.

[From Us Weekly]

Apparently, the abrupt cut-off thing has a name – it’s called “ghosting.” Which sounds more like a CIA thing than a relationship thing. Once again, we’re left with the impression that Charlize was the one to end things. Once again, we’re left with the impression that this really did happen suddenly, like they were totally in love one minute and then nothing. My guess is that Sean Penn knows what he did and that whatever it was, there’s no coming back. So if he knows what he did, is it cool to cut off contact completely? I have mixed feelings about the practice (and I’ve ghosted guys and female friends), but if you do it to the right person, they get the message.

Guardians of the Galaxy star Zoe Saldana shared a family photo via Instagram Sunday.

“Happy Father’s Day to my everything. My Marco,” the new mom, 37, captioned the image with husband Marco Perego-Saldana and their 6-month-old twins Cy and Bowie.

The Avatar actress recently shared a shot on her 37th birthday.

“Can’t thank you all enough for making this day so special! I feel truly blessed for all the birthday wishes I’ve received today. My greatest thanks,” she captioned the family photo with one of her twins and her husband.

The actress recently opened up about their busy family life.

“It’s great. It’s a blessing. We know because people keep telling us,” Saldana joked of having multiples. “No, we’re very, very happy. It’s just like whatever you do—if you change a diaper and you put one down, it’s like you have to do it all over again. That’s when they’re in a good mood. But if they’re having a tantrum and it’s at the same time.”

Feliz dia de los Padres a mi compañero de todo. Mi Marco. Happy Father’s Day to my everything. My Marco

This story isn’t really about something George and Amal Clooney actually did. But it’s an interesting story about a crazy person and her suspiciously interesting thoughts on the Clooneys. THR reports that the CEO of Time Warner, Jeff Bewkes, was trying to speak to shareholders during an annual meeting and one women – a shareholder – tried to hijack the talk by going OFF about the Clooneys and their (alleged) politics.

Things got testy at Time Warner’s annual meeting on Friday when CEO Jeff Bewkes found it necessary to interrupt a shareholder who, during a question and answer period, suggested there was something nefarious about George Clooney’s marriage to Amal Alamuddin.

“I have a compensation question. How much have you paid George Clooney for Gravity and Argo?” the woman asked Bewkes before launching into a rambling, minutes-long attack on the actor and his Lebanese bride, accusing the couple of funneling money to enemies of America and Israel. “Alamuddin has been portrayed in the press as a sexy, international civil rights lawyer. She is not. She is a criminal lawyer. A defense attorney who puts the worst tyrants back on the streets,” the woman said.

Bewkes gave the shareholder plenty of rope but eventually interrupted. “Excuse me. We cannot allow this meeting to be the place where personal and political views from any of us are expressed,” the CEO said.

“I would like to know how much Mr. Clooney has received, how much money is going to Lebanon and to his wife,” she said, having ticked off Clooney’s alleged expenses for his wedding, honeymoon and homes he has purchased abroad.

“In terms of what any of our actors, directors, writers make as citizens of the United States, they’re free to spend their money where they choose, and it is not something that our company has any influence over, or power about, nor do we have knowledge of it, and we should not further detour this meeting to discuss those matters,” Bewkes said.

She closed by accusing journalists at Time Warner of misrepresenting Alamuddin in their reporting. “This is not a fashion show for a prime minister, clients who are in jail instead of running for elections or for Lebanese tribunal.”

[From THR]

The thing is… while the woman did come across as unhinged, we really can’t say for sure that she’s wrong. George Clooney’s press machine has been working overtime for more than a year to try to create an image of Amal as the most brilliant, humanitarian, intellectual, glamorous, fashionable unicorn-lawyer in the world and for many people, that campaign has fallen flat. Because we actually don’t know much about the real Amal – she is still an enigma, which adds to her allure, of course, except that being a professional enigma means that people really don’t know the basics of where she stands on many political issues. If we’re supposed to judge her politics from her legal work, yes, she has represents tyrants and despots and she’s been on the “wrong side” of some issues. Also, it’s worth noting: in all of the press around Amal, we’ve never gotten a confirmation about her religion.

Academy Award-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow posted a rare photo of her 11-year-old daughter Apple with ex-husband Chris Martin via Instagram.

“Nothing like father/daughter love,” Paltrow captioned the image. “Happy Father’s Day to you, CAJM. Here is to all the engaged and present fathers, you create a backbone for society. We honor you all today.”

Paltrow, 42, and Martin, 38, announced their “conscious uncoupling” in March 2014. They finalized their divorce in April 2015, but continue to co-parent their two children, including son Moses, 9.

Prior to posting the above photo, Paltrow also shared a throwback photo of her late father Bruce Paltrow.

“A friend once said to me right after my father died, ‘everyone has a father, but not everyone has a daddy’. Brucie, you were both. To say that I miss you is an understatement. Happy Father’s Day to you, wherever you are. You were the best of the best,” she wrote.

The third season of Orange is the New Black hit Netflix about 10 days ago. Natasha Lyonne plays one of my favorite characters, Nicky Nichols, so it’s nice to see her doing promotion. Most of the show’s recent magazine covers feature Taylor Schilling because Piper is still considered the main character. She’s the trojan horse who watches all the prison drama unfold, so it makes sense that the press wants to hear from her. Laverne Cox also gets press coverage, but the show’s other actresses are interesting too.

Natasha and Samira Wiley spoke to Brazilian journalist Rafael Cortez at a junket. He warmed up by saying some random stuff about muscles to Uzo Aduba. Then it was Natasha and Samira’s turn. Cortez told them how hard it is to be both attractive and a good actress: “Beautiful ladies like you, it’s very hard to do the acting. You start to be angry and fighting with each other on those days.” As Natasha whipped out her side eye, Samira started to answer with an “I think there are some stereotypes that women are very catty on set with each other.” Well Natasha took over:

“I feel like it’s accidentally maybe a little bit misogynistic. ‘You’re so beautiful, what’s it like to have to do all that acting?’ I can’t tell if that’s the question, but if it is, it’s insane. Despite great beauty on the show, everybody is, you know, professional and talented and very capable. So I don’t think that anybody’s thinking about something as meaningless as their beauty when they’re at work or certainly not this show.”

[From YouTube]

Cortez didn’t take any of this seriously. He showed Natasha and Samira a photo of a Brazilian “actress” (“I think she’s a professional“) and asked them to get her hired on the show! He showed them a photo of Suzane von Richthofen, who is a murderess now in prison for killing her parents. He was telling a joke, perhaps, but he came off as a complete misogynist. Both Natasha and Samira had enough at this point. I’m glad Natasha schooled this guy. He probably didn’t learn anything, but this stuff needed to be said.

Here’s the cringeworthy interview clip. Natasha and Samira appear at the 1:20 mark.
