Kylie Jenner did a shoot with photographer Neave Bozorgi, who posted this snap on his Instagram page. Kylie showed a lot of skin for Bozorgi. Much more than most parents of a teenager would prefer. These slightly NSFW photos are on Kylie’s Instagram page. You’ll know them when you see them. I’d rather let the chemtrails take over the conversation again than look at the pictures.
After yesterday’s spacey discussion, I wondered if Kylie wanted to take over the Twitter void left by Jaden Smith. Kylie surprised some people by tweeting this lucid thought yesterday.
Instagram is a made up world. I just show people what I want em to see. Doesn’t everybody ?

Well, she’s correct. Social media is a filter, and both celebrities and civilians curate pieces of their lives for the internet to see. When it comes to Kardashian-Jenner girls, they also filter their whole lives for the family’s television shows. Kylie’s entire existence has been edited by E! for much of her life. It makes sense that she’d selectively share on Instagram too. Just when I felt a little better about Kylie’s grasp on reality, she tweeted this message.
People been thinking I’m pregnant for 8 months now… CLEARLY I’m not pregnant!

Were there really pregnancy rumors about Kylie? Maybe she’s referring to the body shamers.

Belly laughs for Brandon Jenner and Leah Jenner!
The mom-to-be shared a funny photo via Instagram. “He thinks he’s funny,” Leah, 32, captioned the image of her husband, 33, poking fun at his sympathy pounds.
Last week, the reality star shared a shot of her bare baby bump in lacy lingerie.
Leah has been married to Brandon, the son of Bruce Jenner and Linda Thompson, since 2012.
The couple’s music group, Brandon & Leah, and their relationship have frequently been shown on Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
He thinks he’s funny.

This ^^ is one of my new favorite photos of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Kim posted a ton of throwback photos to celebrate her one-year anniversary, and she ended up posting many never-before-seen wedding portraits and pre-wedding party pics. But this one, this is just… awesome. Kim looking at the camera (her best friend!) while Kanye sucks on her cheek like he’s a fish. It’s amazing. He’s not really kissing her face, it’s like he’s trying to give her cheek a hickey.
Anyway, a year has passed and it’s looking more and more like Kim and Kanye are going to need some help if they want to get pregnant or add to their family in any way. Many of you believe that Kim is “faking” her fertility problems because she’s always wanted to just use a surrogate (so she won’t have to “ruin” her body again). There’s something to that theory, but I also believe Kim has some legitimate fertility issues. In any case, Us Weekly says Kim and Ye are getting tired of IVF (which they’ve been trying for a while) and are now considering surrogacy.
There are a lot of ways to grow a family, and Kim Kardashian isn’t ruling out any of them. After unsuccessfully trying for a year to get pregnant again, the reality star is exploring other options with husband Kanye West — including surrogacy, a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. Until now, the Dash mogul has been trying to conceive the old-fashioned way — she joked that she and West have sex “500 times a day” — and via in vitro fertilization.
“Kim has been undergoing IVF,” the insider tells Us of Kardashian, 34, who welcomed daughter North West, 23 months, in June 2013, after a dramatic, difficult delivery. “It’s causing problems with her body.”
Indeed, as Keeping Up With the Kardashians fans saw on a recent episode, the star had to undergo a procedure to “clear something out of [her] uterus.” And on the May 31 show, she’ll reveal that an implanted embryo did not take. In part because of that, the couple may start to pursue a surrogate in June, the source tells Us, adding, “They will do surrogacy over adoption.”
Kardashian hinted as much during an interview with Matt Lauer last month. Asked about her fertility struggles during an interview on the Today show, she said the idea of surrogacy had been recommended to her, but that she and West, 37, were still mulling their options.
“I would like to hold out a little bit longer, and still try,” she told Lauer. “I still have hope, so I’m just going to keep on trying. Never say never. I mean, we haven’t talked about adopting.”
Whatever they decide, one thing is certain: Kardashian wants to give North a little brother or sister, and sooner rather than later. The source says she wants her daughter to have “a sibling close in age…just like she is with her sisters.”
[From Us Weekly]
I think… sure, I sort of believe that. I believe that they’ve been trying IVF and it hasn’t taken yet. I believe that they’ve probably been talking about surrogacy as an option for a while. I even believe that Kim was prepared to get pregnant again, even after her difficult pregnancy with North. Sometimes things ARE as they seem. Now, I think that once they do have a second child (by whatever means), that might be it for them. After all this drama, I think Kim will probably settle on being a mom of two.

Jurassic World star Chris Pratt posted a video with his son Jack, 2, via Facebook Wednesday.
In the cute clip, the father-son duo recite the Pledge of Allegiance in front of an American flag on a porch.
“Meant to post this on #MemorialDay but I was in China and my phone wasn’t working,” the Parks and Recreation star, 35, captioned the video. “I’m proud to be American. I’m blessed to get to travel the world!”
Last week, the actor shared a shot of his wife, Mom star Anna Faris, and their son sitting on that same porch.
The father-of-one went on to post several pics from his travels during the beginning stages of his Jurassic World press tour.
“Well I just got back from China. Wow! What an amazing country,” he wrote. “I spent three days there and was sadly not able to meet all 1.4 billion of its wonderful citizens in that short time BUT…The folks I did meet were genuinely nice and equally excited for Jurassic World!”
And just a few days ago, the Guardians of the Galaxy star penned an apology for anything and everything that he may say during his press tour.
“I want to make a heartfelt apology for whatever it is I end up accidentally saying during the forthcoming ?#?JurassicWorld press tour,” he wrote. “I hope you understand it was never my intention to offend anyone and I am truly sorry. I swear. I’m the nicest guy in the world. And I fully regret what I (accidentally will have) said in (the upcoming foreign and domestic) interview(s).”
He added: “I am not in the business of making excuses. I am just dumb. Plain and simple. I try. I REALLY try!”

Here are some amazing photos of Charlize Theron walking around LA earlier this week, looking badass. Can I just say? That sweater is the business. I’ve been looking for a designer ID for it, but I can’t find one. Give me a heads up if you can ID it! I like the way she’s just sort of casually carrying that Louis Vuitton purse too. My least favorite part? The booties.
Charlize is riding pretty high right now – Mad Max: Fury Road is a critical and financial success. Charlize not only got some of the best reviews of her career, but she’s only the central part in what is being called a feminist masterpiece. The feminist love for the film and for Charlize in particular has been remarkable. There’s even a Ryan Gosling-esque “Hey Girl” Feminist Mad Max Tumblr – go here to see. It will be interesting to see if a sequel gets made and what the studio involvement will be and if they dilute the feminism.
So with Charlize riding high these days, I’m sure she’s getting even more scripts and offers than ever before. One of those scripts might be… Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey. Just FYI: the sourcing on this report is really sketchy and Fifty Shades Darker doesn’t even have a real script yet, because E.L. James wanted to adapt the damn thing by herself and the studio’s compromise was getting her husband to “officially” adapt it.
According to the Venture Capital Post, Charlize Theron is being considered for the part of Elena Lincoln in Fifty Shades Darker. Lincoln, who also goes by Mrs. Robinson, is Christian Grey’s past dominant partner. She also just so happens to be Grey’s business partner and will likely come between Grey and his relationship with Anastasia Steele.
Along with the possibility of Academy Award winning Charlize Theron joining the cast, both Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson have already agreed to reprise their roles as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele. Furthermore, according to Venture Capital Post, Cara Delevingne is rumored to be set to play Leila Williams, another of Grey’s submissive partners.
Meanwhile, the character of Jack Hyde has yet to be filled. There is some speculation that either Jai Courtney or Henry Cavill might be up for the role. Hyde is Ana’s boss at the publishing company she works for, which is also owned by Grey. In the books, Hyde has plans for Ana, and his character might very well be the main antagonist in the coming film.
[From Inquisitr]
Henry Cavill should NOT touch this project. Neither should Charlize, although I think she might actually consider it and she would actually be good in the role of an ice-queen dom. I don’t think much of the sourcing, as I said, and I think this sounds more like a “let’s make up a rumor based on fans’ dream-casting” situation, which is par for the course when it comes to the FSOG franchise.

Reality star Kim Kardashian shared a sweet shot of daughter North, 23 months, via Instagram Wednesday.
“LOLZ,” the proud mom, 34, captioned the cute image of her tot throwing back her head while giggling in the bathtub.
According to Us Weekly, Kardashian and her husband, rapper Kanye West, are exploring surrogacy to expand their family.
“Kim has been undergoing IVF,” a source tells the mag. “It’s causing problems with her body.”
Due to the complications, the couple will pursue a surrogate in June.
“They will do surrogacy over adoption,” the insider dished.
For years now, we’ve been talking about Bobby Flay’s alleged wandering eye. I’ve always assumed that at least half of the stories are true, especially those stories about Flay cheating on his wife with January Jones, Giada de Laurentiis and some assorted restaurant employees. Well, the tabloids have picked up on all of the rumors in a big way, and there are two decent stories out this week. By that I mean the stories are mostly a rehash with some Stephanie March-divorce drama thrown in. First up: In Touch Weekly says that Stephanie March knows of at least THREE of Flay’s affairs, especially the one with January Jones.
Bobby Flay’s estranged wife Stephanie March has accused him of cheating on her with January Jones in divorce documents, according to a shock new report in In Touch Weekly. Stephanie allegedly accuses the famous chef of having three affairs during their 10-year marriage, one of which was with the Mad Men star, the magazine claims.
In Touch’s source alleges: ‘Stephanie is claiming in court papers that Bobby committed adultery with January several times during the early months of 2010. She says they had sex many times and in different places, including the London hotel in Los Angeles.’
In Touch’s source claims: ‘They had a huge fight over January shortly before Stephanie asked him to move out of their place. There is communication between Bobby and January that indicates they were more than acquaintances.’
The magazine goes on to allege that Law And Order: SVU star Stephanie claims in the divorce documents that Bobby also cheated on her with his assistant and a food stylist.
‘This fight is far from over,’ the insider alleged. ‘Stephanie only wants what is fair, but she’s prepared to do what she needs to get it. She has proof of affairs.’
[From ITW via The Daily Mail]
As I said, I’m willing to believe it. The only part that doesn’t really ring true is that Flay and Jones were still in communication as late as this year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they had an affair, but they were probably done with each other years ago.
Meanwhile, Radar/Star says that Flay and Giada de Laurentiis have an on-going fling happening. Giada and Bobby have been friends for years, and they were actually together in Miami, drinking and having a good time on the weekend before Giada announced her own split. Radar basically says that Flay and Giada had dinner together recently and they were holding hands, canoodling and generally being couple-y. Giada’s rep issued a flat denial though:
Things are not heating up between Giada de Laurentiis and Bobby Flay. According to Radar Online, the Food Network stars, who are in the process of divorcing their respective spouses, were “holding hands” under the table while having dinner at Emilio’s Ballato in New York City. A source claimed De Laurentiis, 44, and Flay, 50, “even carved their initials in a secret place on the wall.”
However, De Laurentiis’ rep tells E! News exclusively that the report is “not true.” So what happened?
“Back in December, Giada had dinner at Bellato with her agent. Bobby Flay was also having dinner with some friends and dropped by Giada’s table to say hi,” her rep tells E! News. “They did not have dinner, nor was there any touching going on.”
Flay’s rep confirms what De Laurentiis’s rep said.
[From E! News]
Sure. I’ll believe that they didn’t have dinner together out in the open recently, although they were seen together (and there was no denial from Giada’s rep) the weekend before Giada’s split announcement. I believe Giada and Bobby have probably had a “thing” in the past and maybe they’ll revisit that in the future, but for now… whatever it is, it’s on hold.

Is Natalie Portman giving anyone else pregnant vibes in these photos? I think it may be the print on the dress, plus the way she’s standing in some of these photos. Natalie was the keynote speaker at Harvard’s Class Day ceremony yesterday. Harvard is her alma mater (she’s a 2003 graduate), and this is the first time she’s been invited back to speak at Class Day. In case you’re wondering, this is just a fancy way of saying Natalie was the commencement speaker for the graduating class of 2015. Update: Okay, so commencement is something different, but the Class Day speech is still about the graduating class. Here’s her speech.
She comes across pretty well here. It looks like a nice graduation ceremony, right? Mine was chaos. It was unseasonably hot and humid and of course my graduation took place outside in the sunniest field on campus. I walked the wrong way off the podium too and it was SO embarrassing. Ugh. Anyway, in case you don’t feel like watching the video, here are some highlighted quotes:
Worrying about being accepted at Harvard: “I went to a public high school on Long Island. The girls I went to school with had Prada bags and flat-ironed hair. People didn’t pay much attention to the fact that I was an actress. I was known for having a backpack bigger than I was, and always having whiteout on my hands… When I got to Harvard just after the release of Star Wars: Episode 1, I feared people would assume I had gotten in just for being famous, and not worthy of the intellectual rigor here…”
The challenges: “It’s easy to romanticize my time here, but I had some difficult times here. Being 19, dealing with my first heartbreak, taking birth control that’s now off the market due to its depressive side effects….”
She says she was “woefully unprepared” for Black Swan: “The point is, if I had known my own limitations, I never would have taken the risk. And the risk led to one of my greatest personal and professional achievements….Make use of the fact that you don’t doubt yourself too much right now because, as we get older, we get more realistic. Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.”
[From People & E! News]
I know what she’s trying to say about being “woefully unprepared” for Black Swan, like she’s using it as an example of throwing yourself into a challenge without thinking about how you could fail in a big way, but all she did was remind me of how she took credit for other dancers’ work and built her Oscar campaign around the idea that she had become a prima ballerina-level dancer in less than a year. Woefully unprepared indeed.

Much like In Touch Weekly, People Magazine put the Duggars’ House of Horrors on this week’s cover. Unlike In Touch, People Magazine is in bed with the Duggar family, and has been for several years. When last week’s scandal broke, the Duggars gave a series of exclusives statements to People Magazine – People is their media outlet of choice, which is enough reason to side-eye the crap out of whatever People Mag says about them. So what is this week’s People Mag cover story about? Not much, honestly. It’s a recap of all the crap that’s already gone down, with a few sprinkles of new info, like this:
The future of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting is on shaky ground following the revelation that a felony investigation was opened in 2006 after Josh Duggar was accused by his victims of molesting five underage girls. In statements to PEOPLE, the Duggar family indirectly addressed the closed investigation by referring to the multiple incidents listed in the report unearthed by InTouch Weekly as “teenage mistakes.”
Michelle and Jim Bob are “devastated” over the leak, a source close to the family tells PEOPLE. “They know that they did the best they could, but it doesn’t mean they’re not filled with regret.”
While TLC has pulled reruns of its massive ratings success from the schedule, the network has yet to make any official decision about the future of 19 Kids moving forward.
However, as the source tells PEOPLE, Michelle and Jim Bob are not currently focused on the very real possibility that they’ll lose the TV show on which they’ve built a veritable empire: “Right now they’re just focused on their faith – and each other.”
[From People]
Do you believe that Jim-Bob and Michelle are not concerned about the fate of their reality show? I wonder. People Mag also did a separate story about how TLC is thinking about just making 19 Kids & Counting into a spinoff show about Jessa and Jill and their new families. TMZ’s sources have been saying the same thing for a week, so I believe it. TLC are trying to figure out a way to salvage something off of the sinking Duggar ship. Meanwhile, even more advertisers have announced that they will not air their ads if and when TLC puts 19 Kids & Counting back on the air. So far, this is the list of advertisers pulling out of Cult Duggar: Ace Hardware, David’s Bridal, Pure Leaf Iced Tea, General Mills Inc., Payless Shoesource Inc., Choice Hotels International Inc., CVS, H&R Block, Jimmy Dean, Walgreens ConAgra Foods, Party City, Behr, Ricola and Keurig. Word.
Meanwhile, you know how Jim-Bob took Josh Duggar – who was then 14, I think – to a cop buddy and the buddy didn’t investigate Josh and basically told Josh that it was all good? Later that same cop buddy was found guilty of child p0rn charges and sentenced to jail for more than 50 years. And that same cop buddy is talking to In Touch Weekly. His name is Joseph Hutchens and he was a state trooper at the time of the Duggar incident. Hutchens says that Jim-Bob and Josh lied to him about how many times Josh abused his sisters:
Joseph Hutchens, in his only interview since the Duggar scandal has been uncovered, says that Jim Bob told him about only one incident of molestation and that, in part, is why he decided not to report Josh to the abuse hotline. Hutchens is serving 56 years in prison for child pornography and admits his “reputation is shot.” He was interviewed by a representative of a local law firm for In Touch and promised nothing in return for his recollections.
Hutchens’ failure to report the abuse caused the police to halt their 2006 investigation because the statute of limitations ran out. In the new interview from prison, Hutchens said he was told by Jim Bob and Josh that “Josh had inappropriately touched [redacted] during the time she was asleep. He said he touched her through her clothing and he said it only happened one time.”
He said the fact that it was a one-time incident influenced his decision not to report it. “I did what I thought was right and obviously it wasn’t,” he says. “If I had to do it over again, I would have told him immediately I am going to call the hotline and contacted the trooper that worked those cases and have a full report made. I thought I could handle it myself. I have lost a lot of sleep over it. I am a Christian myself and I worry that something else may have happened. I would be responsible for it, in my opinion, by not reporting it. The young girl should have been my first priority.”
[From In Touch Weekly]
That’s a good lesson for all state troopers, cops, detectives, whatever: stop thinking about how an investigation is going to affect the “poor” perpetrator of said sex crime and think about the actual victims of the crime. As we’ve seen so often, rape culture sadly extends to too many investigators and law enforcement types who care more about how a young rapist/child molester’s life is going to be “ruined” rather than the actual victims.

Here are some photos of Brad Pitt outside of the Whitney Museum of American Art in NYC on Wednesday. I didn’t even know he was in NYC! And it’s nice that he was stopping by a museum, although I bet his kids would have loved to have come to the museum too. But maybe Brad just goes to Whitney to pick up his male lovers. Obviously.
Earlier this week, Brad’s huge gamble paid off. Sort of. One of the biggest gambles of Brad’s career ended up being World War Z. The film was plagued with script problems, endless reshoots and a millions of dollars down the drain, but it ended up being a pretty successful film (I liked it, but then I never read the source material). The sequel to WWZ was announced months ago, but now WWZ 2 has a release date: June 9, 2017. Which means they’ll hopefully get the script together in the coming months and Brad will probably be another endless film shoot at the beginning of next year.
Meanwhile, there’s some fun gossip about Brad and how much he hates George Clooney these days. I WISH Brad hated George because George has been leaking try-hard all over the place and it’s getting embarrassing. But no, sources say Brad and George were fighting over the rights to a book. Plus, Angelina hates Amal and vice versa.
Brad Pitt and George Clooney have gone from BFFs to bitter rivals! The two Oscar winners are secretly “at each other’s throats” over a big-bucks business deal that went belly-up, sources told The National ENQUIRER. According to the report, the bad blood boiled over when Pitt’s company, Plan B, beat out Clooney’s production arm for a highly coveted film project. To Clooney’s disappointment, Pitt won the film rights to a book about an American lawyer’s crusade against Big Oil on behalf of the poor farmers in the Amazon rainforest.
The book, Law of the Jungle, chronicles the true-life story behind the 22-years-and-counting legal battle over pollution in the Ecuadorian jungle. The lawyer eventually won an $18 billion judgment against corporate colossus Chevron.
“George desperately wanted the project. Brad knew it, but he scooped it up anyway. He told George, ‘It’s just business, man,’” a source said. “But George can’t forgive him. He thinks Brad’s a big phony now – praising him to the press and then stabbing him in the back!”
Just last year, Pitt, 51, gushed over the 54-year-old silver fox, declaring, “Well, you know, George is one of our best representatives. He’s a joy to be around.”
But, said the insider, “Brad no longer feels that way about George. He can’t stand the sight of him anymore. He told him to his face, ‘I hate you! Drop dead!’”
Even the guys’ beautiful brides – Angelina Jolie and Amal Clooney – reportedly hate each other now. Said the source: “Angie thinks Amal is ‘putting on airs,’ and Amal thinks Angie is a pretender.”
[From Radar]
Brad shrieked, “I HATE YOU, DROP DEAD” as tears streamed down his face. His choked weeping consumed him as he tried to stare out at the ocean. Soon, Brad thought. Soon I’ll be able to hop on my motorcycle and cry my salty, bitter tears about George. But Brad knew The Leg was waiting for him at home. The Leg would not be pleased. Brad could feel The Leg’s wrath already and it just made him cry even harder.
Oh, and it wouldn’t surprise me if Angelina had literally NO opinion of Amal in general. And it wouldn’t surprise me if Amal had been trying to befriend Angelina for months. Remember, Amal went to the Summit on Sexual Violence in Conflict that Angelina organized last year. Amal was trying to throw herself in Angelina’s path and it seemed like Jolie just ignored her.
