Kanye West has just plummeted to a new low.

Yes. Again.

In a video taken in Los Angeles on Saturday, the rapper stopped to answer a few questions amid a flurry of scandals related to his anti-Semitic remarks this month in which he wished “death con 3 [sic] on Jewish people.”

Ever since Tweeted these awful comments, Kanye has lost a number of endorsement and business deals — including his VERY lucrative partnership with Adidas.

“I had experiences where I felt like I was being teamed up on,” West said over the weekend.

“And I didn’t realize that term would be antisemitic.

“So I had a mediation with Adidas today and I think Adidas felt like cause everyone else was ganging up on me that they had the right to take my designs…

“I feel like this is God humbling me right now. Cause there’s two things that are happening.

“A lot of times when I would say ‘I am the richest Black man,’ it would be a defense that I would use for the mental health conversation.”

Kanye has, indeed, confessed in the past to being Bipolar. This is a legitimate illness.

But it doesn’t account for the hate speech he has spewed and espoused of late.

“What’s happening right now is I’m being humbled,” the artist continued via the aforementioned video.

“Another thing that’s happening to me is by being burned to the flesh every single day, it’s actually proving what I had to say. When I went to the mediation, what I wanna say is, Black people are like okay, ‘Lex Friedman got you to apologize, Piers Morgan got you to apologize to Jews, but you never apologized to us about the George Floyd comment that made us feel bad.’”

In the past, West has been critical of the Black Lives Matter movement, which cropped up after a police officer in Minnesota knelt on the neck of a resident named George Floyd in May 2020.

Floyd died from the assault and the officer was later found guilty of murder.

“When the idea of Black Lives Matter came out, it made us come together as a people,” West went on this weekend, adding:

“So I when said that and I questioned the death of George Floyd, it hurt my people.”

From there, Kanye actually compared himself to someone who was killed by a cop.

“I want to apologize [inaudible] because God has shown me by what Adidas is doing and by what the media is doing, I know how it feels to have a knee on my neck now,” he said in this video.

“So thank you God for humbling me and letting me know how it really felt.

“Because how could the richest Black man ever be humbled other than to be made to not be a billionaire in front of everyone off one comment.”

Due to Ye’s recent comments, he’s facing a $250 million lawsuit by George Floyd’s family for falsely claiming Floyd was killed by fentanyl, not police brutality.

He’s been dropped by numerous companies including the aforementioned Adidas, Gap, JPMorgan Chase, Balenciaga, CAA, MRC, Foot Locker and others.

It’s therefore true that West is no longer a billionaire.

But it’s not true that he’s anything like George Floyd.

In the months since Jed Duggar and Katey Nakatsu welcomed their first child, the couple has been keeping a lower profile than usual.

That’s understandable, of course.

For starters, as new parents, Jed and Katey are probably mighty busy (though if there’s any upside to growing up with 18 siblings, it’s that your kid will always have plenty of aunts and uncles around to do some babysitting).

On top of that, just about every time this couple posts anything, it doesn’t go over well.

Take, for example, the revelation that Jed mocked Katey while she was in labor.

Or the photo in which Jed laid the baby next to a hot grill when it was just a few weeks old.

Yes, it would probably be wise of these two to steer clear of social media on a permanent basis, but that’s not the Duggar way.

Instead, Jed and Katey have put themselves front and center again with a new YouTube video in which they address some of the tough questions that have faced the Duggars in recent years.

Jed kicked things off by addressing the “biggest misconception” about his family.

Having apparently given this question a lot of thought, Jed declared that fans often overestimate his parents’ influence over his life and decisions.

“Oh, you’re brainwashed. Your parents control you. You’re all gonna probably have the same number of kids or have a lot of kids,” Jed said, listing some of the most common rumors he’s heard.

“I’m definitely not brainwashed. I have a mind of my own. My dad will even sometimes … We’ll have an argument, disagreements where we’ll just talk things out, and it’s healthy,” the failed politician continued.

“My dad is a very humble man, my mom as well. She’s just the sweetest thing ever.”

Jed went on to break from the usual Duggar messaging by acknowledging that his childhood was far from perfect.

“They aren’t perfect, I know that, but I love them for who they are,” he said.

“And so, I’m really grateful for my parents. The upbringing that I had, of course it wasn’t perfect, and I think a lot of people are seeing that now.”

Katey then offered her own take on the belief that “no one” in the family “has a mind of their own” and that “things are forced on them.”

“It’s like, ‘We’re actually happy. We love our lives, and we make our own choices,’” she said.

“And some of them are gonna be similar to both of our parents, and some will be different, and the same will happen with our kids too.”

Usually, when a Duggar posts any sort of public content, Josh’s conviction on child pornography charges is the unaddressed elephant in the room.

But here again, Jed broke with Duggar custom by actually discussing Josh.

“It’s a very sensitive spot in our family,” told fans.

“Especially with Anna, you know, their kiddos, and [we] just try to be there for them as much as we can.”

Obviously, Jed didn’t go into much detail, and he still hasn’t acknowledged his brother’s obvious guilt.

But unlike so many in his family, Jed is at least willing to discuss the scandal publicly.

So maybe he’s not brainwashed, after all.

It’s all falling apart for Kody Brown, you guys.

Or at least it was at one point, back in late 2021 when Sister Wives Season 17 was being filmed.

For the last few weeks, TLC viewers have gone behind the scenes to see what transpired after Christine Brown told Kody Brown that she no longer wanted to be married.

The result has been a number of ugly arguments and exchanges.

On October 30, however, the focus shifted a bit from Christine’s issues with Kody to Robyn’s issues with Kody.

“There this heavy weight between us because we know that our family is just getting messed with like crazy,” Robyn said in a confessional.

“It’s so crazy to just sit there and watch this big bomb going off in my family.”

For this 44-year old, Christine’s decision to leave her polygamous relationship has taken its toll on EVERYone.

“Kody is now questioning me left and right about things that I thought he knew about me like he’s struggling to trust everybody around him.” added to camera on this past Sunday evening.

Previously, Robyn made it clear that she will never go anywhere.

She’s totally cool being submissive to Kody.

She also takes issue with the (obvious) sentiment that she is Kody’s favorite sister wife.

“Yes, you are going through a divorce with Christine, but you still have marriages that you have to maintain,” Robyn continued on this new installment.

He’s still has us, and he still has marriages with us and he still has to fix them and figure them out and get over his anger enough to actually interact appropriately or he’s going to ruin every single one of them.

“I’ve never struggled with Kody in my marriage as bad as I am right now.

“I’m at a loss.”

For his part, Kody said he needed to move forward at his own pace.

“I’m going through a divorce,” the father of 18 said in a confessional. “Just give me a little time to be sad and angry and process. I’ll get over it, I think.”

Before Christine chose to leave the family, Kody had built a life with her and his other spouses Robyn, Meri and Janelle.

“There’s so much investment here in this family,” acknowledged Robyn. “You don’t just let that go.”

Sister Wives airs Sunday nights at 10/9con TLC and discovery+.

Robyn Brown: My Marriage to Kody is Crumbling, Too! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip .

Meri Brown lives a weird kind of double life.

In one life, the life she documents on social media, she’s super happy, travels all the time, has good friends, and is just pumped to be alive.

But in the other life, the one we see on Sister Wives … well, it’s kind of the opposite.

We see her get upset pretty frequently on the show about several things, and if she’s not upset, she’s trying to be nonchalant about the fact that Kody clearly doesn’t want anything to do with her.

Like, she’s admitted that they haven’t slept together in over a decade, and he’s made it very clear that he’s no longer in love with her and can’t imagine that ever changing.

Still, they stick together because … um …

Well, Meri says that she prays about it and that God tells her to stick it out, so it looks like she’s just going to hang out until God tells her something different.

But just a few days ago, Kody’s first wife made yet another attempt to convince us all that despite everything, she’s really, truly content with her life.

Bless her heart.

“Don’t mind me!” her message began. “Just over here enjoying my life!”

“I work hard and I play hard,” she continued. “I live life happy and to the fullest. I celebrate my wins, I cheer my people on. I don’t let things get me down, at least not for long. (We all need to take a breather once in a while lol!)”

To her followers, she wrote “Listen friends, you are worth DOING what you want, GETTING what you want, LIVING how you want.”

“Don’t feel like you can right now? That’s ok! Get up every day with the passion to work for it! Life isn’t always easy, we gotta work for the things we want. It’s not handed on a silver platter.”

“But how cool is that?!” she asked. “It only means YOU are in control of the outcome!”

“Now go out and do something great,” she finished, “because YOU are worth it!”

That’s nice, right?

Unfortunately, judging by the kinds of comments her followers left, not too many people are buying it.

“Are you really happy?” one person asked. “Or just settling for no love. You never seem happy to me.”

Another person wrote “Real self love is shown by good self care, good situations, and rewarding relationships, not IG posts. Just saying.”

One harsher comment read “Listen up 3rd wheel. You have been in a divided ‘family’ and toxic marriage not marriage for decades. Christine is living your words, not you.”

Man, that’s got to sting, huh?

Meri hasn’t been very supportive of Christine’s decision to leave Kody, but it’s been beyond clear that Christine is genuinely happy now.

And no, we can’t really say the same for Meri.

As one person put it, “Christine deserved your support as a woman- not pressure and condemnation to stay with a man who didn’t love her. Here’s hoping you move on too so you don’t need this endless rhetoric.”

Someone summed up the whole issue pretty well with this short comment: “Meri, live the truth you are preaching.”

What do you think the truth is with Meri?

The post Why I love Angela Lansbury’s performance in The Manchurian Candidate appeared first on Little White Lies.

I could say that Doctor Who is literally about a mad person in a box traveling through all of time and space and I would technically be correct, but at the same time I’d be oh so wrong. Airing its first episode on November 23rd, 1963, Doctor Who is nothing short of a phenomenon, first catching the love and admiration of the British public then going on to attract Sci-Fi lovers everywhere. 

The show in a nutshell is an emotional journey and a tale about love, contradiction, aliens, and adventure. It must be doing something right since it’s been around for nearly 60 years. Although 15 of those years were due to a hiatus, there was so much love surrounding the show that it was brought back in 2005 and has been going ever since. There is no denying that the series has produced some of the best moments in sci-fi television history.

There are so many ways to go with a Halloween costume, and one route that’s a popular choice is to make it flirty and sexy. There are so many fun options to choose from in this department, but there are definitely some costume designers who have taken the “sexy ____” idea too far. Here are 10 of the worst sexy TV and movie costumes out there.

10. Mary Poppins

The standard formula for creating a sexy costume is to take the regular version of an outfit and remove a bunch of fabric from it (not literally, of course, but you know what I mean). When you do this with an outfit that’s supposed to be from a certain time period it often just looks strange, as this one does.

The ladies of the Kardashian family have always been fans of Halloween.

That makes sense, of course, as it’s not every day that they have an excuse to dress in outlandish outfits, spend hours having their hair and makeup done, and post sultry selfies on Instagram.

Come to think of it, that is every day for Kim and company, but you get the point.

Anyway, while the entire family seems to enjoy celebrating what’s probably Kanye’s least-favorite holiday (just seems like something he would call satanic), it’s Kendall who really goes all-out on October 31.

The supermodel’s birthday is November 3, and she often combines the two celebrations with a blow-out party and an unforgettable costume.

In the past, Kendall has found herself at the center of some Halloween controversies, such as the year when she dressed as Pam Anderson in Barb Wire (above).

The costume wasn’t the issue — rather, fans took umbrage with Kenny’s decision to throw a massive party at the height of the pandemic.

On Saturday night, Kendall sparked another debate — but this year it was all about her attire.

Yes, as you can see, Kendall decided to get all dolled-up (no pun intended) and go as Jessie from Toy Story.

“Well aren’t you just the sweetest space toy,” Kendall captioned the photo above.

Needless to say, this was a far more risqué version of the character than fans are used to, and the costume drew a majorly mixed response from commenters.

Natrually, Kendall received a lot of support from her A-list friends and family.

“Awwwwwwwwww my baby,” Khloe Kardashian commented.

“So good!” echoed Kendall’s model bestie Gigi Hadid.

But in a development that Kendall probably anticipated, the costume attracted quite a bit of criticism, as well.

“Ruined my childhood,” wrote one commenter.

“Ruins a favorite childhood movie,” another added.

“Sexualising kids movies should never be okay…” a third chimed in.

Okay, obviously Kendall isn’t guilty of ruining anyone’s childhood.

But it could be argued that there’s something a little weird — and perhaps even inappropriate — about dressing up in racy attire inspired by a movie targeted at children.

Kendall probably reasoned that since the first Toy Story movie came out in 1995 (the year Kendall was born!), the OG fans of the franchise are well into their adult years by now.

Whatever the case, she certainly didn’t intend to traumatize or offend anyone with her get-up.

Still, Kendall will probably play it safe next year and leave the sexy Buzz Lightyear costume in the closet.

When I go to a theme park, I’m typically a thrill ride kind of gal. Give me all your roller coasters, all of the time. This is decidedly not the vibe of Super Nintendo World, the long-awaited addition to Universal Studios theme parks. Announced way back in 2015, Super Nintendo World debuted in March 2021 at Universal Studios Japan, which is in Osaka. A Stateside version is set to open at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2023, with Orlando to follow at some unknown date. With the U.S. opening (hopefully) close at hand, the question of the hour is: What can you expect?

I was lucky enough to travel to Osaka and head to Universal Studios Japan. I got there at a damn good time, too: They were closing out their summer season, which meant I got to see a 90-minute One Piece stunt show and check out the new Jujustsu Kaisen attraction. Super Nintendo World thrives not on rides, but on vibes. In doing so, it’s quite possibly the most singular, incredible experience I’ve ever had at a theme park. I say that as diehard, since-childhood Disney Parks person, too.

Rumor has it that Vision (Paul Bettany) is getting his own solo Marvel Cinematic Universe TV series called Vision Quest. So far, Bettany’s Vision has had a bit of a complicated history in the MCU. Vision is a synthetic humanoid initially constructed to be the perfect form for Ultron (James Spader). However, Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) took Vision and attempted to upload the remaining codes of Stark’s A.I. system, J.A.R.V.I.S., into his body. He was then given life by the Mind Stone, which rests in his forehead.

Once alive, Vision was neither J.A.R.V.I.S. nor Ultron. However, he was devoted to protecting humanity and worthy enough to lift Thor’s hammer. He quickly became one of the Avengers and developed a relationship with Wanda Maximoff (Elizabeth Olsen). Unfortunately, their happiness was short-lived when Vision’s life was endangered by the threat of Thanos, who sought the infinity stone in Vision’s forehead. Vision attempted to have the stone removed by Shuri (Letitia Wright), but that plan failed and he was killed by Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War.

There are many reasons why it’s good to be Travis Barker.

For one thing, Barker is collaborating with his Blink-182 bandmates on a reunion tour that’s expected to earn the band upwards of $250 million.

Not bad for a few weeks’ work! (Of course, the fans who are shelling out for $600 tickets probably wish that the band had accepted a slightly narrower profit margin.)

But we’re sure Travis would agree that the real reason why he’s one of the luckiest guys on planet Earth is that he’s married to Kourtney Kardashian.

We don’t want to reignite the old debate about who’s the hottest Kardashian, but we think it’s safe to say that Kourt has millions of Instagram followers who could care less about her family’s reality show, and are really just there to enjoy her legendary thirst traps.

That’s probably true of the other Kard clan gals as well, but Kourt in particular has gained a reputation for racking up the likes with revealing pics.

And since Travis and Kourtney are collaborating on just about everything these days, it makes sense that he announced their latest business venture by posting Kourt’s latest nude.

“My wife @kourtneykardash has angel feet @barkerwellness,” Barker captioned the photo above.

Now, the post doesn’t tell us a whole lot (other than the fact that Travis is a foot guy).

But Kourt reposted it (along with the pic below) and added a bit more information.

“Just dropped: Kourt collaborated with @barkerwellness on 4 new products (including our current obsession, the magnesium bath flakes),” she wrote.

“Spoiler alert: you’re going to want them all.”

Kourtney later elaborated on her new line of products with a different alluring photo:

“Now that I am officially a Barker, I thought it was only right to have some Kourtney Barker Wellness products … wink wink,” she captioned the image.

“And since I’m such a fan of my husband’s @barkerwellness line, it made perfect sense!

“My obsession with taking baths, wellness, and taking care of my body has led me to this collaboration – and I could not be happier with how the products turned out,” Kourt continued.

“I hope you love this line as much as we do, and that they become a part of your daily routine like they are ours.”

Some fans seemed confused about the nature of the new product.

“It’s not very clear what exactly we’re supposed to use this for – like what’s its purpose?” one person asked, according to UK tabloid The Sun.

Now, we’re not totally sure what’s going on here ourselves, but it seems that Kourt and Travis’ “magnesium bath flakes” are just epsom salts, and the couple changed the name because they’re not marketing it to arthritic retirees.

Whatever the case, Kourt has more fans than critics, and most of her commenters seemed excited about the product.

“The collab of a lifetime!” one fan wrote.

“Name a better couple collab? I’ll wait,” another chimed in.

“FINALLY!!! I was wondering when there would be a collab!” a third enthused.

It’s hard to get people excited about bath salts (unless you’re talking about the kind that people in Florida get high on), but Kourtney is a master marketer.

Get ready to start making some real money, Travis!
