It's dangerous on the streets lately! TMZ reports that My Big Fat Greek Wedding actress Lainie Kazan, 75, was recently injured in a head-on collision in the Valley, ironically right in front of a Greek Restaurant.

Then he hopped back on his plane and returned home. Get well soon, Prince!

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Shaking Her Money Tree

Why in the world would someone voluntarily walk away from millions of dollars to which they are legally entitled?

In this case, it’s because the husband didn’t want his ex-wife spilling his secrets!

She’s known about his gay hookups for years – since even before they were married – but during the divorce she decided to use them as a weapon. She wielded those secrets like a club. Basically, if he didn’t agree to back off and and stop shaking her money tree, she was ready to spill all beans in a way that would make him look like a perverted chronic cheater and make herself look like the heartbroken victim of his cruelty.

He knows that this was not an idle threat. She is the one who leaked one of his affairs to the press. He knows that she would do it again in a heartbeat. Or a song. Or four songs. Or forty songs.

He knows that if he publicly accused her of having her own affairs during the marriage, she would have feigned innocence and declared it a retaliatory move on his part. He has seen first-hand just how easy it is for her to play the innocent victim, to lie about relationships, and to sway public support to her side.

That is why he chose to walk away and leave those millions on the table.

Taylor Swift Talks Life Goals

Taylor Swift appears on the cover of next month's Vogue Magazine. Inside, she talked about her life goals. The magazine quotes her as follows:


“I would really like to take a little time to learn things. I have lots of short-term goals. I want to be a well-rounded person who can make a good drink. To be able to save somebody if they’re drowning. So CPR, all the various kinds of chest compressions. People tell you little tips, but that’s different from actually taking a class and getting certified. I should probably know how to [change a tire]. I do things like this. I got it in my head that I couldn’t do a split, and I was really upset about it. And so I stretched every single day for a year until I could do a split. Somehow I feel better knowing that I can.”

On whether or not she would consider doing a fashion line: 

“Theoretically, yes. But I would want it to be something that was relatable and accessible and everyday. I don’t see it being couture. I would want it to be reflective of my style. And a lot of things I wear are not highly expensive...I can look back at an old photo and tell you roughly what year it’s from. Going through different phases is one of my favorite things about fashion. I love how it can mark the passage of time. It’s similar to my songs in that way—it all helps identify where I was at in different points of my life.”


Aisha Tyler Getting Divorced

TMZ reports that Jeff Tietjens has filed for divorce from Aisha Tyler after 20 years of marriage. Jeff states in the filing that the pair have been separated since January 2015. The couple were college sweethearts. Jeff cited the ever popular "irreconcilable differences," and while he is not asking for spousal support now, he reserved the right to do so in the future. Tyler has been vocal on The Talk about the couple's fertility struggles and inability to conceive over the years.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Reflects on SNL

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is set to host Saturday Night Live this weekend. She recently sat down for a profile with the New York Times, where she opened up about working at SNL in the 80s. The publication quotes her as follows:


As we speak, you’re preparing to host “Saturday Night Live.” Do you look back fondly on your years there as a cast member?
"Fondly-ish."

Because women on the show in that era were not given equal treatment?
"At all. I did not come out of “S.N.L.” as any kind of name. I didn’t do anything particularly great when I was there. I didn’t. It’s fine. But I learned a tremendous amount. It was a very sexist environment. Since I’ve gone back, I can tell you it’s much more of an equal-opportunity environment."

What did you gain from your experience there?
"I was on it for three years, and when I left, I made this conscious decision that I would not take any jobs that didn’t seem as if they would be really fun. That’s very simplistic and Pollyannaish sounding, but really, I noted that. I’m not doing this unless I can have a deep sense of happiness while doing it. I’ve applied that, moving forward, and it’s worked. So in that sense, I have “S.N.L.” to thank."

Selena Gomez Talks Child Stardom

Selena Gomez recently sat down for an interview with GQ. Here's what she had to say when the reporter asked why it's so hard to transition from a child star to an adult:


“We’re easy targets. Every single kid who was brought up like this is an easy target. It’s disgusting, because it’s interesting to grown adults that these kids go through weird things because they’re figuring out, ‘Do I like this? Do I love this? Maybe I love this person. Oh, I’m exposed to this, people are reporting my every move and this and that because of Instagram and Twitter and you can find out everything.’ There’s a difference between being a fan—there’s a difference between that and what you have to do. Because it’s, I don’t know, fun, maybe? It’s like watching a car crash as you’re driving past it. You want to watch it....I’m not that stupid. And I get it. I just have to be patient. It’s slowly dissolving the older I get. And I just have to be patient and make great things with quality, from producing to singing to acting. And one by one, I will be able to change the dialogue and people won’t care about everything that’s happened to me.”

The World's Most Romantic Post


Guess who has a new column up at Elle.com! Here's an excerpt:


"My love for clothing started very young, and not at all in the way you're probably imagining. You see, I had a mother who was constantly sewing together a mixture of hand-me-downs and scrap fabric to make new clothes. She was also clever enough to make it a game of sorts so that I took an immediate interest in the process and remained invested. Mom never let on that being a single parent didn't afford her the luxury of back-to-school shopping sprees. I never felt I was missing out on buying new outfits at the mall, because I didn't yet know that adding in a strip of leopard print velvet down the sides of my older brother's skater pants, in an attempt to feminize them, wasn't other kids' "normal."

To me, this was just the way it was done. It was also creative and exciting to play designer. Mom made these endeavors feel like a choice—we were choosing to cut up old T-shirts to make our own custom designs. Mom used specific language like "one of a kind" and "customized," so I always felt a sense of ownership and pride when kids asked me where I got my clothes. I distinctly remember her taking me to the bead store for yet another project we would work on together. This one involved capri pants, which, in my family, was another way of saying "jeans that had gotten too short."

...Reusing, repurposing, and upcycling clothing is the future, and yet we were doing it then simply because that was our only option. So how can we get people to do that very thing, before it becomes our only actual option? Now is the time to allow our ingenuity to be born of necessity. Once we've sucked the planet dry of any and every resource available while we satisfy our need for "more, more, more," we won't be afforded the luxuries we mindlessly enjoy today. This is why I'm turning to you. Maybe we can all take a few seconds to think about what we have, what we want, and then somehow merge the two. Perhaps that pair of jeans that seems too small just needs a little bit of leopard print sewn down the sides, those old dish rags you're ready to throw away are calling for a second life as an outdoor dog bed, or that T-shirt you outgrew is begging to be cut up into headbands. Be creative, get inspired. Then send me some of your creations, and I'll send you some of mine."

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Seal That Deal

When a child is involved in a serious relationship, parents normally want them to take their time and get to know their partner to ensure that they are making good decisions and will form a union that will last.

Not in this case!

Their daughter’s acting career (which started when she was a child) has faded to the point where she doesn’t even have an agent anymore. That’s bad. And her entire family has always depended on her to provide for them financially. That’s really bad.

So the entire family is encouraging the actress to make her move and seal the deal. The faster she can get engaged/married/pregnant (not necessarily in that order) with a rich guy, the faster they all can relax into a lifetime of financial stability.

The Gossip Life Blind Item - Very Dated Habit

This teen starlet, who is better known for Instagram and Snapchat than TV and film, is considered to be very relevant with the young crowd and is on top of the hottest trend, but, according to our source who is obviously close to her, she has one very dated habit. She doesn’t shave completely down below. I’m not saying she has an out of control prickly, thorny bush. It’s groomed and trimmed. Apparently her boyfriend likes it that way.

Drake Talks Haters

Drake recently sat down for an interview with Rolling Stone. Here's what he had to say:


"There's these GIFs about me, these stupid stereotypes people have of me as this overly emotional character that cries in his room every night. There are jokes because of Degrassi, because I'm Canadian, because I make music for women. There are memes of guys crying to my music. I love it. I heart those photos when I see them on Instagram."

On Rihanna:
"She's the ultimate fantasy. I mean, I think about it. Like, 'Man, that would be good.' We have fun together, she's cool and shit. But we're just friends. That's my dog for life."

On his dating life:
"I'm not after pussy like I was three years ago, when I was trying to make up for all the years when no girl would talk to me. But I haven't met somebody that makes everybody else not matter."

On The Grammys:
"It becomes more apparent how irrelevant our genre is to them. They were trying to utilize me to sell the show, requesting me to come and perform 'Hold On We're Going Home' but they didn't nominate it for anything! They're calling me, e-mailing me every day to do some elaborate performance and bring them viewers, but I didn't get a nomination for Album of the Year. I didn't get a nomination for Song of the Year."

On Macklemore sweeping the Grammy Awards:
"That shit was wack as fuck. I was like, 'You won. Why are you posting your text messages? Just chill. Take your W, and if you feel you didn't deserve it, go get better – make better music.' It felt cheap. It didn't feel genuine. Why do that? Why feel guilt? You think those guys would pay homage to you if they won? This is how the world works: He made a brand of music that appealed to more people than me, Hov, Kanye and Kendrick. Whether people wanna say it's racial, or whether it's just the fact that he tapped into something we can't tap into. That's just how the cards fall. Own your shit. To just name Kendrick? That shit made me feel funny. No, in that case, you robbed everybody. We all need text messages!"

All About the Tea Blind Item - The Reality Thief: She's A Klepto!

*All About the Tea Exclusive*

When you look at this reality star, she appears to be financially well off, but she actually has sticky fingers. She’s a kleptomaniac!

The word kleptomaniac has origins that trace back to the Greek words for “thief” and “madness.” This definition is indeed fitting for this southern-fried reality mom.

She’s compelled to steal from friends, family and stores. She doesn’t steal because of necessity, she steals for the thrill of the crime, often taking items that have little or no value to her.

Her inner circle knows of her little problem, and purses and personal belongings are guarded whenever Sticky Fingers is around.

The grown thief was caught red-handed for lifting an antique figurine when one of her sex partners noticed the item in her home and questioned her about it. The reality thief lied and said she purchased it from an antique store.

Her close friend tells me that her main objective is simply to steal. It does not matter what it is or if it makes sense. Sticky Fingers just steals for the sake of stealing.

Robert De Niro Steps Right Into Autism Vaccine "Debate"

Robert De Niro recently pulled the controversial film "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Conspiracy" from his Tribeca Film Festival. De Niro recently went on the Today Show, where he talked about autism and vaccines. Here's what he had to say, as reprinted by Us Weekly:


“There are many people who will come out and say 'I saw my kid change overnight.' My wife says that. I don’t remember. But my child is autistic. And every kid is different. I think the movie is something people should see. I, as a parent with a child who has autism, am concerned. I want to know the truth. And I’m not anti-vaccine, I want safe vaccines.” 

When the hosts pointed out to De Niro that there is already broad scientific proof that refutes any link between autism and vaccines, De Niro replied, "I believe it’s much more complicated.” 

Cool, so Robert De Niro and former reality star and current wife of Worst Quarterback Ever Kristin Cavallari have the same views on vaccines. Yeah, I think I'll listen to actual scientists. But thanks for playing!

Jennifer Lopez Talks Marc Anthony Split

Jennifer Lopez recently sat down for an interview with W Magazine, where she opened up about her split from ex-husband Marc Anthony. The magazine quotes her as follows:


“I’ve been in the grind and the game for a long time. At a certain point, people respect you when they see you fall down and get back up. The more you’re in this life, the more they celebrate your triumphs. When it comes to work, I never get tired. But with personal failures, I have thought, This is too hard. When my marriage ended, it was not easy to find forgiveness. It wasn’t the dream that I had hoped for, and it would have been easier to fan the flames of resentment, disappointment, and anger. But Marc is the father of my children [8-year-old twins], and that’s never going away. So, I have to work to make things right. And that is, by far, the hardest work I do.

...Last time I was here, they asked me who is better in bed—dancers, musicians, or actors? I said, ‘Dancers!’ Musicians are too self-absorbed. They are too concerned with themselves to be great in bed...I hung in there for seven years [with Marc Anthony]. I knew very quickly that it wasn’t the right thing...I still think about getting married and having that long life with someone. I love the movie The Notebook. A dream of mine is to grow old with someone.”

Disney Starlet Arrested for DUI

Okay, admittedly I have no idea who this chick is, but if you do, then this is probably a big deal.

She blew a .11 at the field sobriety test, so was arrested on the spot for felony DUI. TMZ reports that authorities decided to knock the charges down to a misdemeanor, and Ryan has been charged with DUI and driving with a .08 blood alcohol level or higher. She is currently out on $100K bail.

Blind Gossip Blind Item - The Finger Behind Her Back

We heard that this reality competition show cast member was getting along well with everyone on the show, so we were a little surprised to hear that there was one person on the show who was a jerk to her as she was leaving.

"[Other cast member] seems like a nice guy and he was nice to her face, but as soon as she was out the door, he gave her the finger and said, “Fuck you AND [your ex-husband]!”

I don’t think she ever personally did anything to him. I think he was more mad at [the ex-husband], but it did bug me that he was so nice to her face and then cursed her out behind her back."

Drew Barrymore Talks (Un)Happiness

Drew Barrymore sat down for an interview with Good Housekeeping before her split from husband Will Kopelman was announced. The interview appears in the magazine's May issue. Here's what she had to say:

"I first loved Nan (business partner and wife of Jimmy Fallon Nancy Juvonen) because she loved the word 'happiness' so much. But last year, I called her with tears in my eyes, going, 'Nan! I've finally figured it out! It's not the word "happiness" that's so powerful. It's the word "choice"!' Happiness is not this yellow, blithe, floating thing. It's something that takes a tremendous amount of work. There's a warrior aspect to being happy. You've got to fight for it. And only when you've got that kind of earned happiness is it really good...I don't mean it to sound like I'm half-happy. Yesterday I was a 10, tomorrow I might be an 8, this afternoon I might be a 3 and tonight I might be an 11. I just have a lot on my plate right now, and it's hard to figure out the puzzle pieces for the next year of my life. Oh, just work-wise, geography-wise, life-wise."

On Will Kopelman:
"I don't think there was one moment when I knew I wanted to spend my life with Will. It was a sweeping, fluid process. It was falling in love with his family, being ready to have a family of my own and thinking if I had a family with this family, it would be really wonderful. Sometimes there's just a time to go for it with a good person."

Willow Smith, sister of living legend Jaden Smith, recently appeared on the cover of Teen Vogue. Here's what she had to say:

“This is so cool. I’ve never been shot by a woman before — not for anything this major! There is such a need for more female photographers, physicists, astronauts, doctors.…”

On Jaden Smith:
“We’re like binary stars, like two parts of one thing. I know what he’s thinking at all times. And he knows what I’m thinking. We’re not identical twins, but it feels like that in a lot of ways.”

On how she sees herself:
“I see myself as a—hold on, let me ask Siri. Siri, define artisan. [Siri: Artisan is a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.] “Ah, OK, yes! I call myself an artisan.”

On being a Chanel ambassador:
“Being a young African-American woman with dreads, it blows my mind that I’m a Chanel ambassador. Like, how am I a Chanel ambassador? It is so beautiful. I’m coming into a new part of my life that is completely unknown, and I’m jumping right in. All I can do from here is continue to shift paradigms and continue to push the envelope further and further. But I am doing it every day just by being myself.”

Lindsay Lohan Is Engaged

Us Weekly reports that Lindsay Lohan, 29, is engaged to Russian business heir Egor Tarabasov, 22. The pair have been dating for a few months. Well, she's getting a bit of a late start (Elizabeth Taylor wracked up her first husband at 18), but I'm sure this will be the first of many marriages for Lohan. Hopefully she learns from Taylor and gets the big jewels, and since this is Lilo we're talking about, resists the urge to pawn them.

Page Six reports that actress Megan Fox, 29, is pregnant with her third child. She already shares sons Noah, 3, and Bodhi, 2, with estranged husband Brian Austin Green, 42.

These great actors who have been in it together for so long have become a family. I absolutely can’t wait to join it. Now I can’t say too much, but I get to play a new character who operates under Kurt Russell in the movie, which is incredible, because Kurt was a total childhood hero of mine growing up. Very much looking forward to learning a thing or two from such an original and cool guy. Paul was a close friend of mine. We surfed together, traveled together, and he was a huge role model and influencing figure in my life when I was younger. He still is. He was an older brother to me. For me to be able to add to the F&F story, Paul’s story, and the FAST family is like a dream come true. Gary Gray and Neal Moritz - I can’t wait to get started and dive in. Vin - thank you for the support and the insight. Paul - I am going to make you proud. #F8

Blind Gossip Blind Item - Fresh Fling

Big movie stars usually try to avoid scandals so that they don’t impact the release of a film. Not our actor. He is actually CREATING scandals to help his films!

He may have started out on TV, but this blockbuster star only does films now. On his last film, he leaked reports that he was having a fling with his beautiful single female star. He wanted you to believe that the onscreen heat was real. That strategy worked so well that he is now spreading rumors about a fresh fake fling with the single beauty from his current film!

Why is he doing this? It has to do with his secret sexuality. But before you start thinking that this isn’t unusual (because other actors have used their costar as a beard to promote a project), there’s a distinctive twist to this story.

Our actor isn’t trying to convince you that he’s some manly single guy. Our actor is married with children! Yes, he is so desperate for hetero validation that he wants you to speculate that he is having an affair behind his wife’s back!

This actor is an A-list movie star, but he doesn’t only like to get involved with the action on the set. Our A-list movie star loves to get ‘action’ elsewhere… A steamy affair, you’re thinking. Maybe even gay!

No, no, no. Our A-list movie star LOVES video games. He’ll set one up and play it for HOURS on end. Does he hide his identity? Does he flush away his distinctive accent and disguise himself? Nope. He loves talking away on the headset and although he takes no prisoners in the world of gaming, he’s actually pretty damn cool to talk to.

Apparently former stripper and current THOT Blac Chyna is his weight loss motivation. Well, if it works, I hope for Rob's sake that the relationship has staying power.

In other Kardashian news, Marie Claire recently interviewed Kylie Jenner for their Fresh Faces special. Here's what she had to say:


On learning more details surrounding her dad's transition along with the rest of the world in his Diane Sawyer interview: 
"I've always known. It was a secret we just couldn't talk about."

On her ability to influence others and have fun with it: 
"I started wigs, and now everyone is wearing wigs. Kim [Kardashian] just used my wig guy last night...I just do whatever I want to do, and people will follow." 


On posting photos on social media: 
"When I post sexy photos, I always regret it. Like, Oh my God, everyone is seeing my body. I get really weird about it."

Ruby Rose Talks Sexuality

Ruby Rose recently sat down for an interview with Galore, where she talked about sexuality. The magazine quotes her as follows:


People love to say that you turn straight women gay. What’s your reaction when they say that? Is this something people said before you were famous, too?

"I’m one of those people who feels that everybody is somewhere on the spectrum. I don’t think it needs to be labeled—love is about the person.
When people say to me that I turned them gay, I just laugh, because that’s not really even a possibility. It sounds like I did something against their will in the middle of the night, as if I crept into their brain and pushed the gay button, then did an evil laugh and left them to fend for themselves—newly gay and alone in the world.
I break it down like this: Did I find Channing Tatum in Magic Mike to be extremely hot? Yes! Could I now turn straight for him without having previously ever had a desire to be with a man? The answer is, nope. Haha.
But people will say to J. Law, “I want to be your best friend,” or to T. Swift, “I want to be in your squad.” Everyone has got their little thing, and the catch phrase I got after Orange was, “She turned me gay.”

What makes me laugh is that I’m actually single and not looking at all. I’m just focused on my career. But it was very funny how many people would text photos, or slide right into my DMs for months after Orange launched. I would say, “That’s cute, but I’m pretty sure you’re straight.” And they’d say, “I am, but now I have a crush on you.” And I would respond, “I’m pretty sure I met your boyfriend at the premiere.” But then, if I actually reached out to them to get a coffee as a friend to hang, they wouldn’t ever make plans. I could literally feel them sort of wondering if “coffee” meant something different in the lesbian world. (For the record, it doesn’t, according to Ruby.)"

Because they’re scared?

"I mean, I don’t know. But I would be eating breakfast and my phone goes off, and I see a topless photo. And it would always be so out of the blue, and very confusing. But then I’d be in New York two months later, and I’d get a message from that same person saying, “God, I wish I could see you.” If I responded, “Oh really, I’m actually in NY this week too,” I would get radio silence. My friends and I would literally die over this—it’s just so funny. I mean, it is and it isn’t. People want to lead me on, or don’t realize they are doing it, but I can always eventually work out what is real and what is play.
I just think that, as human beings, we are drawn to what we can’t have. We are drawn to fantasy over reality, and often are in love with an idea of a situation rather than the reality of it. I think people like the idea of “turning gay for someone,” but it’s not actually that simple. Ultimately, that statement is just a form of endearment or a compliment, but it’s not real."

Goop Did a Q&A on Goop

Gwyneth Paltrow recently did her own version of an AMA on Goop, where she picked only the questions she wanted to answer ahead of time, and published her answers. Here are some of the highlights:


Can you give an average day of food for you? 

GP: "I’m not a big breakfast person. I start my day with coffee and can’t really stomach food until after exercise. About 10 ‘o’clock, I have a nutrient-dense smoothie that costs nowhere near $200. I always eat salad for lunch with some protein, and as a general rule, I eat whatever I want for dinner."

What are three things readers would be most surprised to know about you and your life? 
GP: "That I really enjoy food that can be considered bad for you, like martinis and french fries. If left to my own devices, I’ll sleep for 10 hours a night. And I’m harder on myself than anybody else could ever be."

Would you still rather smoke crack than eat cheese out of a can?
GP: "Hell yes. You know, crack might be extreme, but spray cheese is not my kind of party."

It seems to me the media has made gig of coming for you; taking things you say or suggest out of context, not researching something you say before jumping on it. How do you keep from letting it bring you down?
GP: "Around the time I turned 40, I truly began to understand the importance of remaining on my own side and listening to my instincts. I think that in our culture women get a hard time for shifting a paradigm mid-stream, and I certainly did that! But I fully embrace my role as somebody who is genuinely trying to ask interesting, thought-provoking questions, and I take our quest at goop to push back, discover things—thereby sometimes moving the needle—seriously."

If you could ask Goop a question, what would you ask?
