The Real Housewives of New York star Bethenny Frankel stepped out with daughter Bryn, 5, in New York City on Wednesday (June 10).

The single mom, 44, held onto her daughter’s doll and ball while they made their way back to the car.

Last week, we spotted the mother-daughter duo on the school run. And last month, we saw Bryn and her dad Jason Hoppy in NYC.

Reportedly, the ugly legal battle continues between the exes.

The reality star has been court-ordered to pay Jason’s legal bills — a whopping $100,000!

Not to mention, Bethenny is already shelling out nearly $12,000 a month in spousal support and $3,000 a month in child support, along with a majority of Bryn’s school tuition and medical bills.

Bethenny and Jason were wed in 2010, and split just two years later. In 2013, the Skinnygirl founder filed for divorce and the couple initially agreed to share custody of Bryn (before Bethenny attempted to get sole custody).

Since then, Jason has continued to reside in their luxurious Tribeca loft.

“I’m homeless,” Bethenny said during a recent episode of RHONY. “I’m totally without a home for over two years. And he lives in the apartment that I worked my whole life to buy. It just doesn’t make any sense.”

Here are some photos of Kit Harington out and about in LA yesterday. He appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, and then he went out for drinks, it seems. He was looking cute and not so tiny and sad-faced. There’s actually not anything groundbreaking to say about Kit – beyond the Kimmel interview, Kit has mercifully stopped saying words. He managed to avoid complaining about his overwhelming beauty and hunk status with Kimmel. Yay.

Part I: Kit talks about “Hardhome” and the White Walkers. He says The Night’s King is a dude named Richard. Which is just funny to me.

Part II: Kit has to watch three dudes do their Jon Snow impressions. The first guy is DEAD ON. At least with his voice, which is absolutely perfect. The second guy was sort of half-assed. The third guy has a great ear. I think his Varys is better than his Littlefinger. His Jon Snow is the second best after the first guy.

Kimmel also asked Kit at one point what he would do if he was killed off in the Season 5 finale and Kit said, “I don’t know how I could top ‘Thrones,’ I think I would probably just give it up.” NOOOOOoooo! But he’s probably not going to die, right? RIGHT? What would do without Sadface Crow on Game of Thrones?

Dear Gossips,

Yesterday I posted new photos of Leonardo DiCaprio kissing his new model bonafide Kelly Rohrbach. They’re on a bike. You’ve seen it before. And even Vogue.com is taking shots at him now. Read that article. Read how they describe his “dad bod”. And point out how with Leo, it’s al…      

Friendly exes Hilary Duff and Mike Comrie were photographed with their son Luca, 3, in West Hollywood, Calif. on Wednesday (June 10).

Keeping a united front for their son, the soon-to-be ex-spouses enjoyed an early dinner with their tot at Craig’s.

Although the Younger star, 27, filed for divorce in Feb., it sounds like they’re keeping things civil for their son.

“We talk every day and spend time with each other which I know is really confusing to the press,” Duff recently told Daily Telegraph.

She added: “People see us out together and all of a sudden people say we are back together which is frustrating.”

The Lizzie McGuire alum recently shared a sweet shot via Instagram.

“Workin on the new act #LUCdusoleil,” she captioned the trampoline image with her tot.

You guys, I’ve been missing Alamooney. I know, it’s weird! George Clooney was so “extra” while promoting Tomorrowland, but now that the promotion is over, he’s gone (relatively) dark again. And I miss George and Amal. I miss the stories of how Amal is the most fashionable, the most humanitarian, the smartest, the coolest, the most amazing unicorn ever and that’s how she landed The Eternal Bachelor. Of course no one was buying it, but I still miss those stories.

Anyway, these are some photos of George shooting an ad campaign for Omega’s Speedmaster. They were shooting the ad in Los Cabos, Mexico. Did George and Amal fly from Kentucky (where they were last week) to Mexico? That’s a pretty easy schedule. George barely spent a week promoting Tomorrowland in Europe and Asia. I guess Disney was like, “Ugh, George isn’t helping.” The Hollywood Reporter said yesterday that Tomorrowland will probably end up being one of the biggest flops of the year and it’s on track to lose $140 million for Disney. Yikes. Which brings me to a very interesting story in last week’s Star Magazine:

Reviews and ticket sales for George Clooney’s latest flick, Tomorrowland, have been dismal. But while the film has flopped, his wife Amal’s red carpet appearances have been stellar and sources say that George isn’t taking that well.

“George isn’t used to playing second fiddle. He acts as though he’s laid-back, but he’s very irritable at the moment,” says a close insider. “He never imagined he’d feel overshadowed. Now it’s happening – and he’s discovered he doesn’t like it at all.”

According to the source, George is slipping back into the same kind of moody funk he did after his last bomb, Monuments Men – and Amal is feeling the brunt of it.

“He has a huge fear of becoming irrelevant. Amal tells him to stop being ridiculous, but he can’t help himself. He’s starting to complain about petty stuff, and it’s getting old. Amal undrstands that he’s under tremendous pressure, but she doesn’t want her moment to be dulled by his petulant behavior.”

[From Star Magazine, print edition]

For what it’s worth, I think George enjoys the fact that Amal has become a “star.” That was his goal – he ended up Pretty Woman-ing her, just like all of his previous girlfriends. His press machine hyped her, he bought her new clothes and some better hair and makeup people and voila! A woman who can be billed as “George’s equal.” Now, all that being said, I will believe that his idea was for Amal to be his EQUAL, not to overshadow him. And he probably is pissy about that and with the two flops in a row. Seriously, why did Disney spend $330 million making Tomorrowland?

Brandon Jenner and Leah Jenner are thinking pink.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians stars are expecting a daughter. “So excited to meet our little girl,” the mom-to-be, 32, Instagrammed a sweet snapshot of her husband, 34, kissing her face as she holds a pink rose against her baby bump.

Earlier this month, Leah celebrated her baby shower in Malibu, Calif.

The couple – who were wed in 2012 – announced the pregnancy in March.

So excited to meet our little girl

As we discussed yesterday, In Touch Weekly’s latest exclusive cover story is about the Duggars. You know how Jim-Bob, Michelle, Jessa and Jill were all sticking to that talking point that everything that Josh Duggar did was in the past and the family was fully cooperative with investigators (a total lie) and everything was over, over, over? Yeah, not so much. Arkansas DHS is still investigation the Duggars. In Touch does not know (or if they know, they’re not saying) if this current DHS investigation is an ongoing thing related to Josh Duggar molesting his sisters, or if this DHS investigation is something new, related to something other than Josh’s actions. What In Touch does know is that DHS arrived at the Duggar house in late May to monitor a minor child and the Duggars refused access, so the DHS worker called 911. Here is the audio:

The new issue of In Touch Magazine reveals that the Duggar family is under investigation again by the Arkansas Department of Human Services and police were called when the family refused to cooperate. Now, In Touch has the audio of that 911 call made by a representative from the Washington County DHS on May 27 at around 11 a.m. to the Springdale Police Department asking for police assistance when DHS was not allowed to see the minor they were concerned about. In Touch, which broke the story of Josh Duggar’s sexual molestation scandal, has the full transcript of the emergency call in the new issue.

The new investigation comes as the family tries to save its TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, which the network pulled off the air, while determining its fate. Jim Bob, Michelle and two of their daughters sat for interviews with Fox News, attempting to minimize the damage, but much of what they said was widely condemned as misinformation and not full disclosure.

The Duggars made no mention of the fact that they have been under investigation again, but In Touch discovered what they are hiding via another Freedom of Information Act request that produced the 911 call.

After identifying himself as a Washington Country DHS employee and stating the Duggar family address, the caller tells the 911 operator, “We have an investigation and I guess they’re not being cooperative. We have to see the child to make sure the child is all right. So we just need police assistance.” The 911 call was then transferred to Washington County authorities.

DHS records are not available to the public so it is unknown what prompted the investigation. Experts tell In Touch that an investigation can be triggered by a hotline complaint, even an anonymous one, if the trained operator determines the allegation is serious enough that it meets standards for child abuse maltreatment laws.

[From In Touch Weekly]

Huh, did someone call the hotline to complain about the Duggars? Remember, this happened on May 27th, which was a good week AFTER In Touch first began their reporting on the Duggar family. May 27th was six days after Josh Duggar admitted his criminal acts and resigned from the Family Research Council. Did In Touch’s reporting spur someone to call the hotline about the family? Or was this DHS investigation ongoing, something that began before In Touch’s bombshell reporting?

Here is the cover of Holly Madison’s new memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny. This isn’t a cutesy tail (get it?) of fun Playboy mansion adventures though. Holly gets surprising dark about her time as one of Hugh Hefner’s “girlfriends,” including some pretty candid revelations about suicidal thoughts, drugs, body image and money. Oh, and she says she never signed a nondisclosure agreement, so I guess she doesn’t have to worry about getting sued? Sure. We’ll see. Some highlights (the book is being excerpted all over the place):

The first time she met Hef in 2001: “‘Would you like a Quaalude?’ Hef asked, leaning toward me with a bunch of large horse pills in his hands, held together by a crumpled tissue,” Madison wrote in her memoir. After she declined the drugs, “Hef did not miss a beat: ‘Okay, that’s good,’ he said, nonchalantly. ‘Usually, I don’t approve of drugs, but you know, in the ‘70s they used to call these pills thigh openers.’ I want to scream ‘PAUSE!’ and freeze-frame that moment of my life. I want to grab that young girl, shake her back into reality and scream, ‘What the hell are you thinking?’”

Becoming one of Hef’s girlfriends: “I learned Hef was the manipulator and that he pitted us against one another. I realized I wasn’t treated well. I’m done being afraid of people. I don’t have any loyalty to Hef. I haven’t talked to him in four years, so there’s no reason to reach out now. Besides, it’s the truth.”

When she wanted to leave, Hef tried to get her to stay by putting her in his will: “It was there, in black and white. The will stated that $3,000,000 would be bestowed to Holly Madison at the time of his death (provided I still lived in the Mansion). At the time, it was more money than I’d ever know what to do with… But I didn’t want it. I actually pitied him for stooping to that level. I couldn’t help but be offended. Did he really think he could buy me? I put the folder back on the bed just as I had found it and never breathed a word of it.”

She thought about suicide in 2002: Her “misery” became so all-encompassing that in the tell-all, Madison, 35, recalls lying in a bath in 2002 and pondering: “If I just put my head under water and take a deep breath in, it would all be over…Would anyone even miss me?” She tells how the “depths of my own depression” had led her down a dark path and there was no light at the end of the tunnel. “Maybe it was the pot and the alcohol, but drowning myself seemed like the logical way to escape the ridiculous life I was leading.”

Life at the mansion: “Everyone thinks that the infamous metal gate was meant to keep people out. But I grew to feel it was meant to lock me in.”

She and Hef discussed having a child together: “I know how absolutely insane it sounds to want to have kids with someone in their 70s. You are basically robbing a child of his or her father before it is even born. Now that I am a mom myself, the idea seems even more unpalatable. But I suppose I thought of it as a ticket out – in more ways than one. The last time the mansion had been multiple-girlfriend-free was when Hef was married and had two children.” She reveals that Hefner had even submitted semen samples to a fertility doctor – only to discover that nothing was viable. “This was concrete proof slapping me in the face that there was no future for me at the mansion and it was either sit in there and rot or take the plunge and face the world.”

[From Us Weekly & People]

If you want some gross details about what it’s like to one of Hef’s multiple girlfriends when it’s time to get down with him in his bedroom, go here. She says there was no intimacy, no kissing and everything was over pretty quickly. Probably just in time to bring the old guy some post-coital SOUP. What else? Let’s see… Holly says she hasn’t spoken to Hef in four years. She says that every one of his girlfriends had body image issues while they lived at the mansion. Holly admits to getting a nose job while she was with Hef. Ugh.

The CMT Awards were held last night in Nashville. Since I don’t follow the comings and goings on country music, all of the country music awards shows sort of blend together, and I get the distinct feeling that there’s a country music awards show once a month. You can see the winners list for the 2015 CMTs here.

This awards show differentiated itself by not having Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert come out. Instead, one of the big “gets” was Nicole Kidman, who attended with her husband Keith Urban. Nicole wore a Balenciaga ensemble – slacks and peplum’d strapless top which makes her look pregnant. That top is a disaster but Nicole’s face… God, she needs to stop with the Botox and fillers. It’s gotten really crazy.

Jamie Lynn Spears in a surprisingly great jumpsuit. She looks really good!

Here’s Jenna Dewan Tatum in Zuhair Murad. Since she was one of the few wearing a pretty jewel tone, I like it.

Nikki Reed in Kaufmanfranco, with her husband Ian Somerhalder. So thirsty. Why are they even there?

Carrie Underwood made her big return to the red carpet after giving birth three months ago. She looked beautiful and bangsy. At this point, I have gotten used to new moms getting bangs. It happens and I accept it (but I still don’t like it). Carrie’s pretty, simple dress is by Thomas Wylde. I like that she didn’t go for a prom dress.

See, this is what I thought Carrie would wear! Brittany Snow in a Monique Lhuillier prom dress. Brittany is adorable, but this dress is a no.

Erin Andrews in Mugler. Meh. I don’t know her at all, but I’m always sort of put off by her vibe. Is she a nice person who just happens to have a resting bitchface?

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner were papped out shopping yesterday in Santa Monica. They were there with their daughter, Serafina, and one of her friends. We’ve seen quite a few paparazzi photos of Affleck and Garner out together following the rumors that they’re headed for a high profile divorce. It’s somewhat rare that they run errands together so often. Without issuing a statement, these two are making their intentions clear.

Most of those breakup stories were based on the circumstantial but concrete evidence that Affleck was spotted in a remote area of Canada around the time of Garner’s birthday, and was not wearing his wedding ring. There’s video evidence to show this. Affleck has also been seen gambling in Vegas lately, which is pretty normal for him, and he spent mother’s day with his own mother instead of Garner, the mother of his children. At least one blind item heavily suggests that Affleck was out with another woman while he was in Canada. There’s a reason why sites publish blind items instead of stories quoting anonymous sources, so I wouldn’t put much stock in that.

Radar Online has a slide show of these photos and points to the two images below (plus a couple more) as evidence that Affleck was checking out another woman’s butt. Given whom we’re talking about, this is entirely possible. I doubt Affleck would be this blatant, though, especially with multiple paparazzi there. It’s more likely that the woman made a joke or that Affleck is smiling at something else. She’s on the phone, so maybe she said something funny to a friend.

There also seems to be a lot of tension between these two, but again there are multiple paparazzi bothering them and they’re out with kids. Who knows what the photographers are shouting at them. I want these two to work out, damnit, and I don’t want Affleck to fall back into his old patterns. He seems to be toeing the line for now.
