Vicki Gunvalson’s Daughter Briana Culberson Threatens Brooks Ayers’ Life If He’s Lying About Cancer Diagnosis

Vicki Gunvalson seems to think Satan is behind Brooks Ayers cancer diagnosis controversy and her daughter Briana Culberson says she is ready to kill Ayers if it comes to light that he is indeed lying about his illness.

As People magazine pointed out, things turned even more dramatic for The Real Housewives of Orange County on Monday’s episode.

Gunvalson, who decided to go on a detox retreat to clear her head over the scandal, maintains that she believes that Brooks has cancer and says the ladies’ speculation about the diagnosis comes from the devil.

“When is enough enough?” she asked the camera. “He’s got cancer.”

Daughter Brianna Culberson does not buy into Ayers claim that he has the deadly disease.

In fact, Culberson and her family think there is something weird going on and only decided to stay at the family home during their Orange County vacation because Ayers was away on business. They noted the bad vibes that seem to linger in the house despite his absence.

“It feels heavy and uncomfortable and there’s just kind of a nasty feeling when you walk in the door,” Culberson told her husband, Ryan – who made a comment himself about the “weird musk” left by Ayers’ presence.

Briana later clarified her feelings for the camera: “There is absolutely nothing Brooks can do for me to accept him.”

After several more discussions about the “illness,” Briana made her feelings very clear about what will happen if it turns out he is lying.

“I’ll kill him. I’ll kill him myself,” Briana said. “Well she’s gonna find out … or he’s just going to be ‘cured’ one day.”

As a nurse, Briana told Tamra that some of what Ayers has said about his treatment sounds strange.

On the way to Tamra Judge’s baptism, Gunvalson agains brought up religion, saying the doubt over Ayers claims is demonic.

“The truth is always the truth,” she said during the ride over to the baptism, adding, “Satan loves confusion. This is Satan’s work.”

Despite her certainty that Ayers is telling the truth, the women seemed dumbfounded over Gunvalson’s passionate defense of Ayers.

Shannon Beador, who seems to be the most worried, said, “The possibility that I’m being duped by Vicki is crushing to me.”

She then added, “Vicki Gunvalson might not be as good of a friend as I thought.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs Mondays (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

It came as a shock when Mary-Louise Parker, who was seven months pregnant at the time in 2003, learned that the father of her child, Billy Crudup, was leaving her for Clare Danes, whom he met on the set of their film, Stage Beauty.

In an interview with Howard Stern, Danes, 36, opened up about her controversial relationship with Crudup and whether she regrets it.

The Homeland actress said the public backlash over the romance was difficult.

“That was a scary thing,” said Danes. “That was really hard. I didn’t know how to not do that. I was just in love with him and needed to explore that and I was 24… I didn’t quite know what those consequences would be.”

Danes and the 47-year-old Almost Famous actor remained in a relationship for four years until she moved on with her future husband, Hugh Dancy.

Danes said she is good with what transpired with Crudup.

“But it’s okay. I went through it,” said Danes, adding that they remain friends today.

“We’re friendly, we’re friends.”

As for the Weeds actress, who has said little about the affair over the years, will likely address her feelings about that time in her life in her upcoming memoir, Dear Mr. You.

Set to hit shelves on Nov. 10, the book will include a series of letters Mary-Louise Parker wrote to the men in her life — undoubtedly, among them, Crudup, the father of her 11-year-old son William.

Jimmy Fallon Compares ‘Jesus Finger’ Accident to Chicken Wings, Denies He’s Soft On Guests

Jimmy Fallon has been criticized for being too soft on some of his guests on the Tonight Show, especially the controversial ones.

But Fallon thinks not.

In an interview with Bill Carter on SiriusXM, the late night talk show host said it’s just not his job to ask the tough questions.

“That’s not my job,” Fallon said, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. “It’s not Meet the Press. I’m not Face the Nation … We have people on that people don’t like. I know that. But that’s not my job. You make your own opinion. I can just show you the best person that they are and try to bring out their more personal side and play with them.”

Here’s the entire clip of the interview:

Jimmy also provided an update on his injured finger that was nearly ripped off when he tripped over a run and caught his ring on a counter as he tried to catch himself.

Fallon told Carter that his finger is “fantastic” some four months after the accident, which kept him in the intensive care unit for 10 days, and credits healing to physical therapy and bending it as frequently as possible.

Pain is not the issue, Fallon told Carter.

“I don’t feel it, that’s the problem,” said Fallon. “I don’t feel my ring finger and right now I don’t feel my pinkie. The doctor said it will probably be another six months I get feeling back. There’s nothing wrong with the tendons.”

Fallon, who missed his entire summer vacation because of the accident, said it was a life-changing event.

“It’s times like that that make you realize how lucky you are,” said Fallon.

Thinking he had just broken his finger and in little pain at the time of the accident, Fallon compared the type of injury he endured — finger ovulsion — to chicken wings.

“I would compare it to taking a chicken wing, putting it in your mouth, biting at the end and pulling it out,” said Fallon. “You’ve got the bone, but everything else, the tendons, everything is somewhere else.”

Ew.

Listen below to hear more on his details about his accident.

Who’s grossed out by Jimmy Fallon’s description of his injured finger?

Ashley Judd Claims She Was ‘Sexually Harassed’ By Hollywood Executive

Actress Ashley Judd claims she was once sexually harassed by a famous Hollywood studio executive.

In an interview with Variety, Judd told film editor Ramin Setoodeh that a high-powered studio mogul (whom she did not name) harassed her while she was filming the 1997 movie Kiss the Girls.

As reported by the Washington Post, the powerful executive “physically lured” Judd to his hotel room and made various sexual requests of her. According to Judd, she repeatedly declined the offers until his offer to watch him shower offered an opportunity to leave the hotel room.

“I did not recognize at the time what was happening to me. It took years before I could evaluate that incident and realize that there was something incredibly wrong and illegal about it,” Judd said.

Apparently, the 47-year-old actress felt even more guilt after she found out that the studio executive had done the same thing to other actresses.

“I beat myself up for a while . . . . We internalize the shame,” said Judd. “It really belongs to the person who is the aggressor. And so later, when I was able to see what happened, I thought: Oh god, that’s wrong. That’s sexual harassment. That’s illegal.”

Judd told Variety that she tried to confront the executive a few years later at the premiere of her movie Double Jeopardy, but he avoided her.

“I was no longer that naive ingénue who couldn’t identify what was happening as it was happening,” Judd said.

Recently, Judd penned a personal essay for Mic.com about being raped as a teenager, and how she was a survivor of abuse and incest. She reiterated the importance of speaking up about assault in her interview for Variety.

“We’re individually and collectively coming to a realization and acceptance that this is an entrenched part of the reality,” said Judd of “casting couch” encounters. “And I think that talking about it is essential to the process of becoming aware, accepting that this is reality and then ultimately taking action.”

Carrie-Anne Moss Joins Netflix’ Jessica Jones In Gender-Bend Role

Carrie-Anne Moss of The Matrix is joining Netflix’s Jessica Jones in what is being called a “gender-bent” roll.

During a panel discussion for the upcoming show at New York Comic Con on Saturday, Marvel’s head of television, Jeph Loeb, announced the news that the character, Jeryn Hogarth, would be undergoing a gender-bend.

Carrie-Anne Moss, who joined the cast on stage, will be playing the new twist to the character with the name Jeri Hogarth.

Originally, Jeryn Hogarth was a brilliant lawyer and business executive. Working under the pervue of Wendall Rand, who was known as the father of Danny Rand (a.k.a. the Iron Fist), Jeryn eventually became the head of Heroes for Hire, an organization that offers legal help to a slew of superheroes.

According to Entertainment Weekly, in Marvel comics lore, Jeryn Hogarth also has connections to Luke Cage.

“They’re not friends but they need each other,” Moss said of Hogarth’s relationship with Jessica Jones. “They come to each other in these scenes, and there’s a lot of back and forth and bad flirtation at times, in life. They’re funny together and can’t stand each other. It’s interesting.”

Polygon reports that it is unclear exactly what Moss’ role will be in the show, but they are assuming that she’ll be working closely with the series’ titular character as an attorney.

Krysten Ritter, who plays Jones, said the relationship between Hogarth and Jones is an interesting one, to say the least.

“It’s by far the most complex and interesting and special friendship between two women that I’ve seen in a movie or television,” Ritter said. “We’re there for each other in ways that we don’t see, but we’re never talking about a dude or an outfit. It’s a really pure bond.”

Jessica Jones will stream on Netflix beginning Nov. 20.

Anna Duggar Seems To Be The Target Of Michelle Duggar’s Blog Offering Sex Advice

Anna Duggar seems to be the target of Anna’s mother-in-law Michelle Duggar’s recent blog offering sex advice for husbands and wives.

Rumors are swirling that Anna wants to divorce her sex-addicted husband, so many are speculating that Michelle is trying to use some rather passive-aggressive tactics to change Anna Duggar’s mind.

According to Radar Online, Michelle Duggar recently shared a blogpost titled Michelle Duggar’s Advice for Newlyweds. In the post, she shares some of her favorite marriage tips, including a tip that it’s important to have sex with your husband whenever he demands it, no matter how tired or terrible you feel.

“Anyone can iron Jim Bob’s shirt, anybody can make lunch for him. He can get his lunch somewhere else,” Michelle’s friend told her. “But you are the only one who can meet that special need that he has in his life for intimacy.”

Michelle said in her blog that simply having sex isn’t enough — you always have to act like you’re happy about it, no matter the circumstances.

“And so be available, and not just available, but be joyfully available for him. Smile and be willing to say, ‘Yes, sweetie I am here for you,’ no matter what, even though you may be exhausted and big pregnant and you may not feel like he feels. ‘I’m still here for you and I’m going to meet that need because I know it’s a need for you.’”

Michelle Duggar has previously posted this blog and Radar Online suggests that the timing of this blog re-post is suspect and is perhaps Michelle’s way of letting Anna Dugger know that she thinks that Anna failed Josh by not meeting his needs.

According to People, there’s a large contingency of family members and other followers of their patriarchal brand of Christianity that may feel that Anna Duggar is to blame for Josh’s cheating.

Ronnie Floyd, a pastor at an Arkansas church that the Duggars occasionally attend, recently told his congregation that keeping a partner sexually satisfied is extremely important because the failure to do so could open a marriage “up to the attack of the enemy.”

“And that enemy is going to take your spouse away from you … Both men and woman have their sexual needs met by someone, somewhere, somehow.”

In the wake of Josh’s philandering, Anna Duggar is becoming so serious about divorce that Josh is reportedly “flipping out” and begging her to stay.

What do you think? Is Michelle Duggar targeting her daughter-in-law, Anna Duggar? And if so, is she right to do so?

Jessica Chastain Rocks Punk Rock Look For Photo Shoot, Dishes On Dream Role

Jessica Chastain has donned a completely different look for the cover of the latest issue of W magazine that may surprise fans of the Oscar-nominated actress.

While the 38-year-old actress has transformed numerous times for the big screen, her punk look for W is quite the departure from previous looks.

In many of the shots, the natural redhead’s locks are hot-pink. Rocking bold blush, blood-red lipstick and thick, drawn-on brown make her look so very far removed from her typical pristine red carpet looks she seems to prefer.

Other pics in the photo shoot feature Chastain with platinum blonde hair styled in a pompadour hairstyle.

If one can look past the extreme hair and makeup, Jessica Chastain’s clothing is a whole other stylish beast. The Martian actress wears a Givenchy leather jacket and lace dress. For the second set of shots she wears a take on the feather-topped Proenza Schouler dress a pregnant Kim Kardashian wore to the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards this past June, as reported by Us Weekly.

For the cover article, entitled Transformer, Chastain spoke about her upcoming role in Crimson Peak, and said she dreams of one day tackling one role in particular.

“One of my goals is to play a villain in a Bond film,” said Chastain. “People ask me if I want to be a Bond girl, and I say, ‘No, I want to be the villain.’ I’m waiting for that call!”

The actress, who typically keeps her private life on the down-low, gave a tidbit about her boyfriend, Gian Luca Passi de Preposulo, whom she’s been dating for the past four years.

“He’s a gentleman, and that’s very important to me,” Chastain said. “He’s from an old-school Italian family. No one in his family has ever been divorced!”

So what do you think of Jessica Chastain’s look for W magazine?

Salma Hayek Offers Words Of Wisdom to Young Women — ‘Be Unique and Don’t Blend In’

Salma Hayek has some very important advice for young girls — which most certainly includes her eight-year-old daughter, Valentina — to stand out and not blend in.

“I think the voice of women can change the world, but we don’t know our voice,” Hayek told reporters Friday at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon in Beverly Hill, California. “I think the most important thing to tell for the new generations is to have the courage to be unique, to be curious about who they are, instead of trying to blend in.”

The 49-year-old actress went on to encourage girls to be unique and find their strengths.

“The most important thing to say to the girls is to not try to be like the other girls,” said Hayek. “Not to try to fit in, but to try to really be profound thinkers that are excited about their differences and explore what they are and who they are and what can come out of the new.”

Hayek was honored at the luncheon for her work with the Chime for Change charity.

“I think the voice of women can change the world, but we don’t know our voice,” she said. “We’ve never really investigated. We’ve been too busy for many, many decades and generations, trying to operate within systems that were designed by men.

“I don’t think we really have tapped into our potential or our own creativity.”

In her acceptance speech at the luncheon, Hayek praised the accomplishments of Chime for Change, which is a social media-based campaign to raise awareness of women’s issues around the globe.

“In only two years – now I’m going to brag a little bit – we have directly benefitted the lives of 400,000 women,” she said. “We affected 3 million families and communities in two years.”

Like many other actresses of late, Hayek pointed out the discrepancy in pay for men and women.

“Women represent 50 percent of the population of the world, but even with all of the lack of opportunities, education and all the limitations that come our way, we are 66 percent of the work power of the world,” she said in her speech. “However, we only get 10 percent of the income of the world.

“[But] I’m feeling very confident that we are the generation that is going to experience the difference, the transformation … We are such an economical power, women, in the country, and we represent such a strong part of the audience that they cannot ignore us anymore.”

What do you think of Salma Hayek’s advice? Wise words?

Selena Gomez credits her group of female friends for helping get through some difficult times, including a bout with lupus and body shamers.

As reported by People magazine, Gomez, 23, dished about her besties Taylor Swift, 25, two roommates and a cousin in a new interview with Refinery29.

“I have a lot of friends in the business, but at the end of the day, [these four women] are who I call crying,” said Gomez, who recently revealed she underwent chemotherapy to treat lupus.

Other A-list actresses, including Jennifer Aniston, who invited Selena to her home for a pizza night, and Kerry Washington, who gave the singer her number in case she needed to talk, have supported the Rivival singer.

“I treasure these women,” Gomez said. “I’d rather be around women than men. I think they are interesting, complicated and beautiful.”

Gomez said she is tuning out the negative vibe and comments that have been directed at her of late, including criticism of her bikini body.

“It was appalling,” Gomez said. “I had never experienced that before. I was sad. I was angry. I feel all of it. But I also got motivated.”

She added, “I don’t want to become little or hurt or a victim. I want to be strong for girls. I just want them to know that there is an option of standing up for yourself.”

She noted that other Disney stars like herself have had to deal in their own way with the transition into the pop world.

“Everyone has found their identity in a really interesting way,” Selena Gomez said of Miley Cyrus, 22, and Demi Lovato, 23. “We didn’t come out as these robots that looked and dressed the same. We had to go through our own s—. At the end of the day, it’s respecting every female artist’s choice in how she expresses herself, because that’s what she wants.”

Hayden Panettiere is seeking treatment for postpartum depression, according to a statement from her rep.

Much like her character on Nashville, Panettiere has struggled since giving birth to daughter Kaya with fiancé Wladimir Klitschko last December.

“Hayden Panettiere is voluntarily seeking professional help at a treatment center as she is currently battling postpartum depression,” the actress’ rep confirmed to Entertainment Weekly on Tuesday. “She asks that the media respect her privacy during this time.”

Recently, Hayden Panettiere opened up about the struggle that she and many new moms face.

“There’s a lot of misunderstanding and there’s a lot of people out there that think that it’s not real, that it’€™s not true, that it’s something that’s made up in their minds, that Oh, it’€™s hormones. They brush it off,” the actress said on Live! with Kelly and Michael in September. “It’s something that’s completely uncontrollable. It’s really painful and it’s really scary and women need a lot of support.”

Panettiere’s character on Nashville has also struggled with postpartum depression, and the actress says the storyline helped her better understand what she was going through in real life.

“What I thought postpartum was, was wanting to cause your child harm. You know, that really severe version of postpartum,” admitted Panettiere. “Now, having had a child, I’ve realized that it can be on quite a large spectrum, and the symptoms don’t have to be as in your face and obvious.”

“I definitely struggled with that a little bit,” Panettiere continued. “I never felt any ill feelings towards my daughter, and never thought, I don’t want to be a mom or this is terrible€™ or anything negative. But, my personality all around was, I wasn’t in a great mode. It’s not a good feeling but women need to know that there are a lot of different kinds and that they’re not alone.”

Can any of you new moms out there relate to Hayden Panettiere‘s real struggle with postpartum depression? Best wishes to Hayden as she courageously deals with this common problem.

Kirsten Dunst Prepared For Her ‘Fargo’ Role By Pigging Out, Watching ‘Friday Night Lights’ and Loving It

Kirsten Dunst lived out everyone’s dream of being lazy and eating like a pig, all the while getting paid to do so.

For her role on the FX series Fargo, the 33-year-old actress was required to pack on the pounds and so she did.

In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, Kirsten Dunst dished about how she had to gain weight to play her character. There have been other actors and actresses who have gone down this road in the past and many of them have complained about the process. However, Dunst says it was as great as many of us imagine.

“Well, listen, I was in Calgary and it was cold. And so I ordered in a lot of pizza, grilled cheeseI just had different cheeses and breads together,” she said, laughing. “And now I’m like, ‘Yeah! I gained weight for this role,’ but really I just sat in my bed, watched Friday Night Lights and ate. That’s what I did.”

Friday Night Lights is an obvious choice considering her husband and Fargo co-star, Jesse Plemons, is an alum of the show. She told Kimmel she always gets the behind-the-scenes scoop.

“I learned real juice. Like who was dating whoshocking couples!” she exclaimed, teasing the audience. “Like I can’t even say. It would be so fun to gossip about it but we can’t!”

In Fargo, Dunst portrays a sociopathic Midwestern beautician married to an unassuming butcher’s assistant named Ed, played by Plemons.

The actress had nothing but praise for Fargo.

“It’s nice to promote something and not have to lie about it,” Kristen Dunst said, insinuating there’s definitely been roles she wasn’t as excited about.

So would you enjoy being lazy and pigging out the whole live-long day?

Emilia Clarke of ‘Game of Thrones’ Named Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive

Emilia Clarke, who is beloved as Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones, has been named Esquire magazine’s Sexiest Woman Alive.

For the cover of the magazine, the Mother of Dragons struck a sexy pose lying topless in bed. According to TV Guide, inside the issue, Clarke poses in a series of photos featuring the actress in lots of lingerie.

For the feature article, Emilia told of how she landed her star-making role as Daenerys Targaryen on the HBO hit. She said that after graduating from drama school, Clarke gave herself a year to make it as an actress, but failed. She wound up working three jobs, including gigs at a bar, at a call center and one job she declined to reveal.

“And then my agent calls me up and says, ‘Did you ever go up for Game of Thrones?'” Clarke recalls, noting that HBO had shot a pilot, but wasn’t happy with the original casting.

“My agent told the casting director, ‘I know that the breakdown for this character is tall and willowy and blonde. I know she’s short and round and brown, but I’d like you to see her.'”

Things went very quickly for the actress and she didn’t even have the time to read the George R.R. Martin’s books to discover more about her character.

“So I did what every good actor does and Wikipedia’d the living crap out of it,” she said.

From there, Clarke said she sensed that what HBO was looking for was “someone who could grow before your eyes in one season, who could gather strength and show vulnerability, they wanted the arc.”

As to the sexy and often times nude scenes for Game of Thrones, Emilia Clarke said, “I’m perfectly find with it.”

Abby Lee Miller of ‘Dance Moms’ Faces Prison For Bankruptcy Fraud

Abby Lee Miller of Dance Moms is in hot water again.

The 49-year-old reality star, whose charges for assault were dropped in July, is facing an indictment from a federal grand jury on charges of bankruptcy fraud, according to Deadline Hollywood.

The indictment alleges that Miller hid hundreds of thousands of dollars from bankruptcy court. According to documents, Abby Lee Miller lied about income amounting to $755,492.85 she received from her Lifetime reality show, dance studio and merchandise from 2012-2013 in order to restructure her debt more favorably.

Each count against Miller carries a possible five years in federal prison, along with a $250,000 fine.

“Criminal prosecution is appropriate when debtors corrupt the bankruptcy process through deceit and lies before the court,” said U.S. Attorney David J. Hickton in a statement obtained by Entertainment Tonight.

Akeia Conner, an Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge, reiterated what Hickton said in his statement.

“Fraud and dishonesty in bankruptcy proceedings undermines the integrity of these important proceedings and especially hurts the creditors and American taxpayers,” said Akeia.

“The investigation of Abigale Lee Miller demonstrates our commitment to identify and prosecute those who commit bankruptcy fraud,” said David McGinnis of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service – Pittsburgh Division about the charges.

In July, Miller was sued by Paige Hyland, who alleged that Abby Lee hurled a chair at her. Los Angeles Superior Court judge Ruth Ann Kwan ruled that there was insufficient evidence to prove the claims made by Hyland and the lawsuit was dropped. The suit, filed in 2014, claimed that Miller was “paid to be abusive and bullying to her students. It also claimed that she “insulted and abused Paige on an almost daily basis, including cruel name calling, insults about Paige’s physical appearance and making offensive false and defamatory accusation [sic.] about Paige’s family.”

It’s unclear whether she will return to the Lifetime series. In June, Miller told ET that she wasn’t sure if she’d return.

“Lifetime is a little in arrears on their payment plan with me personally, and so I think that will have to be taken care of first before we talk about season six,” she said. “It’s the kids that watch our show. So I wish that the network would realize that, and the production company would back off the moms and the swearing and the fighting and all that, and let’s concentrate on the dancing.”

What do you think of these latest legal woes for Abby Lee Miller?

Jennifer Garner Hosts Fundraiser to Save the Lives of Two Little Girls

Jennifer Garner has a big heart, there’s no doubt about it. The two young daughters of producer Gordon Gray and his wife Kristen were diagnosed with Batten disease, which is an extremely rare degenerative brain disorder for which there is no cure, and Jennifer and the rest of the Hollywood community rallied around them to raise awareness and funds.

On Wednesday, the 43-year-old mother of three children herself, held a fundraiser to support the Charlotte and Gwenyth Gray Foundation and its mission of raising the $10-12 million needed to support research and find potential treatments for the disease.

“Kristen and Gordon Gray are not going to let us avert our eyes from their daughters’ condition,” Garner said. “In the middle of their pain and grief, they are going to face the facts of Batten disease and look us in the eye and ask us to join them in the fight.”

The little girls, Charlotte, four, and Gwenyth, two, were diagnosed with late-infantile-NCL Batten disease in March. Batten disease progresses rapidly and causes developmental regression, blindness, changes in behavior, seizures and dementia.

Little Charlotte is already experiencing some symptoms, including having trouble with speech and muscle control. Gwenyth, who is symptom-free for the moment, has tested positive for the disease.

“We need the money yesterday,” Gordon Gray, 50, told People magazine in June. “Every day is worse than the day before. It’s a degenerative disease and we just need to get started now.”

According to the Grays’s, their foundation is “very close” to the 3 million dollar mark.

“We still have a way to go, but each event brings awareness, touches new people and helps spread out message which is that we want to cure this horrible disease so that no other child will suffer,” the Grays said in a statement.

Olivia Wilde Is Blaming ‘Pure Sexism’ For Political Attacks On Hillary Clinton, ‘It’s Ridiculous’

Olivia Wilde is blaming “pure sexism” for political attacks on Hillary Clinton.

In the midst of battle for equal pay by females in the film industry, Wilde is speaking out against sexism on the campaign trail.

According to People magazine, the 31-year-old actress calling out the people who she believes are criticizing Hillary Clinton based on her gender, not her merit.

“It’s pure sexism,” she told the Daily Beast. “This bulls— about her not seeming ‘warm’ enough is pure misogyny.

“It’s ridiculous,” she continued. “I think she’s one of the loveliest, most personable politicians I’ve ever met – much warmer than other politicians, in fact. That’s pure sexism.”

Wilde encourages voters to be more concerned with Clinton’s political record, which Wilde says “speaks for itself,” rather than how she looks or acts.

“She’s an incredibly skilled debater and her intelligence and experience speaks for itself,” Wilde said. “That’s the thing about Hillary – when people stop scheming to take her down with bulls—-, her actual resume speaks for itself.”

The Meadowland actress has upped her support for the presidential hopeful in the past months. She not only introduced Clinton at a campaign event back in June, she has also defended her pick for president on Twitter.

Do you think Olivia Wilde is correct in her assumption that attacks on Hillary Clinton are based on sexism?

Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt Bash Lauren Conrad — Again

Heidi Montag and her husband, Spencer Pratt, don’t seem to think enough is enough.

As Us Weekly points out, The Hills may have ended five years ago, but people still consider Montag and Pratt two of the biggest villains in reality TV. Although they may not deny the title, they seem to take issue over the moniker when it comes to their relationship with Lauren Conrad.

“I spent years pretending to like her for a living,” Montag, 29, told the magazine of her former roommate and friend. “It was literally my job to deal with her, and it wasn’t pleasant… I had nothing to do with her problems. I even tried to help her. The fact is, she lied about me and tried to destroy my life, yet I was the one painted as the villain so the show could have her as the good guy.”

Although cast members of the hit MTV reality series have concurred that the show was scripted, Montag says that hasn’t changed the public’s perception of her or her husband.

“It’s not that I care about [LC] anymore, but it is upsetting to me that everyone knows by now that The Hills was a scripted show, yet people still think the negative stuff about me that the show set up to make me the villain to her hero was real. It’s bizarre,” said Heidi. “It’s like if people were still mad at James Earl Jones for being the voice of Darth Vader!”

Recently, Pratt, 32, said some rather harsh words about Lauren Conrad to Complex magazine.

“Lauren is a cold-hearted killer,” Pratt said. “That’s what people don’t get. She will cut you in your sleep. She tried to destroy us. If you want to throw missiles, I’m throwing a nuke. This is how I operate.”

Heidi Montag told Us Weekly that she means no harm to Lauren Conrad, 29, but she feels she no longer has to continue with the fictionalized version of herself that was created for the show.

“I don’t wish her any ill will, but I also don’t have to lie for her or play along with her story line as part of my job anymore,” Montag said. “I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t for those years I was on the show and I think people got an image of me that just wasn’t me. So I’ve just decided that I’m never going to be anything other than honest about her or my time on the show.”

Is anyone else tired of the bickering between Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt and Lauren Conrad?

Khloé Kardashian Receives The Response ‘Hey Baby’ and Thumbs Up From Lamar Odom to Her ‘I Love You”

The internet seemed to breathe a sigh of relief after news broke that Lamar Odom had awakened from a four-day coma, looked at his estranged wife, Khloé Kardashian, who has not left his side since rushed to a Las Vegas hospital, and said simply, “Hey Baby.”

Friends and relatives have confirmed that the former NBA star regained consciousness and is responsive four days after being found near death in a Nevada brothel.

Alvina Alston, publicist for JaNean Mercer, Odom’s maternal aunt and godmother, said that Odom spoke a greeting and gave a thumbs-up Friday morning.

“He woke up and he spoke,” Alston said.

Odom’s former coach Jim Harrick said Khloé Kardashian told him that Odom is now off dialysis, and that he showed a response when she reached down to say “Lamar, I love you.”

“Khloe has promised me she’s going to stay by his bedside until she and him can walk out of the hospital together,” Harrick said.

Authorities continue to investigate Odom’s $75,000, three-day visit to the brothel. Blood test results to determine what caused his medical episode still pending.

Odom was found unconscious at the Love Ranch Tuesday with white and reddish substances coming from his nose and mouth. He was breathing and taken to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center in Las Vegas.

Khloé Kardashian rushed to his side that night, followed by Kris Jenner and the Kardashian sisters. According to reports, Khloé flew Lamar’s ex-wife and his two children to be by his side as Lamar’s condition continued to deteriorate.

Kardashian notified her fans that the family would not be posting on social media during Odom’s health crisis.

“As a family, we’ve decided to hold off on publishing content across our apps while we continue to support and pray for Lamar,” she posted, thanking fans for their love, support and understanding.

Mercer issued her own statement Friday thanking the public for its support, saying they’re family was focused on Odom’s “complete healing.”

“No words can express the overwhelming gratitude we feel for the outpouring of support from around the world,” the statement issued Friday said.

Meanwhile, Khloé Kardashian remains by her estranged husband’s side as he makes improvements, knowing full well that he is not yet out of the woods and has a long road to complete recovery — a recovery the whole world seems to want for the beloved, former Los Angeles player.

Jessica Biel is one lucky lady.

Justin Timberlake broke down while offering a touching speech Saturday as he accepted his induction into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame and said the sweetest words to wife Jessica Biel, calling her his “rock.”

“This is the f—ing coolest thing that has ever happened to me,” the 34-year-old singer and actor pop star said after being introduced by his close friend, Jimmy Fallon, as reported by Us Weekly.

“I wanna thank all the great artists in this hall,” he continued, choking up. “I’m truly honored to merely stand on the shoulders of all these legends I grew up listening to, and I grew up admiring, to say that I stand alongside them now.”

Sporting a navy and black houndstooth suit jacket, Timberlake brought women, and presumably his wife Jessica Biel, 33, to their knees as he sweetly thanked the mother of their son, Silas Randall, calling her both his “rock” and “beautiful, loving and incredibly understanding.”

“Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write,” he said of his wife.

Biel and Timberlake dated on and off for five years before marrying in Italy in October 2012. They welcomed Silas Randall this past April.

Can we get a collective sigh? What do you think about Justin Timberlake‘s tribute to his Jessica Biel?

Gwen Stefani Shoots Down Rumors That She Is Dating Blake Shelton

Gwen Stefani is busy coaching on The Voice and is just as busy shutting down a plethora of rumors surrounding the singer following her split from Gavin Rossdale. And one of those rumors she is shutting down is persistent claims that she is dating her Voice costar Blake Shelton.

Entertainment Weekly exclusively reported that Stefani categorically denies dating Shelton.

After splitting from her 49-year-old husband of 13 years, rumors began to swirl that the Grammy winner might be romantically linked to Shelton, who is also recently divorced from Miranda Lambert.

Stefani referred to Shelton as “the cowboy” in her interview with ET before her MasterCard Priceless Surprises concert on Saturday.

“It seems like the cowboy is really happy on the show,” she said. “We’re all having so much fun on that show. Everybody is in such a good place.”

As for the rumors that she and Shelton are an item, she joked, “Have you read the news?”

Shelton also denies dating Stefani or anyone else for that matter in the wake of his divorce from Lambert after four years of marriage.

“The stuff I read about myself blows my mind. Shouldn’t I get to do all these things since I’m already accused of them?” he tweeted on Oct. 7. “I literally just got back from FAR northern Quebec chasing caribou and now read about all the crazy stuff I’ve been doing lately?!! #WTF”

After laughing off the dating rumors, Stefani explained how music has been a balm to her soul through her breakup.

“The biggest gift has been to be able to take some tragedy and write a song about it and share that,” Stefani said. “The rewards that I’ve gotten through that is just unbelievable.”

From the pain of divorce came a whole new album written in just eight weeks, and her MasterCard Priceless Surprises concert on Saturday at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom at The Manhattan Center, marked her first performance since February.

“Not that much time has gone by, but so much has happened, so I had to change it,” Gwen Stefani noted. “I had to get all new costumes, new band, dancers. Everything had to evolve the way I have just in this short amount of time.”
