'Bachelor' Finalist Hannah G Slams Kelly Ripa for Bach Diss ... But I Still Love Her!!!

Published | Updated

Kelly Ripa has no idea what the hell she's talking about when it comes to "The Bachelor" and her take on it is downright rude -- at least it was to Hannah Godwin, who was a finalist just last season.

We got Hannah Wednesday night at Craig's in WeHo and got her take on what Kelly said earlier this week -- that the show is creepy and the idea of 25 exceptional women fighting for 1 "ordinary" guy is disgusting.

CAN'T DO CREEPY
LIVE WITH KELLY AND RYAN

As one of those exceptional women, Hannah G thinks it sucks that Kelly's dissing all of Bach Nation. Yes, you can tell Hannah's a bit conflicted because she loves her some Ripa ... but ultimately, she wants Kelly to know the show worked out just fine for her.

Of course, 'Bachelor' creator Mike Fleiss and 'Bachelor' host Chris Harrison have also gone on the offensive, saying, "Easy, @KellyRipa ... #TheBachelor franchise pays your salary!"

Harrison tweeted, "Look out #BachelorNation @KellyRipa is coming after you and your 'disgusting' Monday night habit." Goes without saying ... it's gotten ugly.

BTW ... current 'Bachelorette' Hannah Brown appeared on 'Kelly & Ryan' Thursday and they joked about Kelly's slam. Hannah B added, for her, doing the show is "one of the most empowering things that I ever have done."

Farrah Abraham Topless on a Topiary ... Bottomless Too

Published

Farrah Abraham's got down and dirty for her latest fashion photo shoot ... leaving little to the imagination.

The former 'Teen Mom' and 'Backdoor Teen Mom' star went all out by showing off her bare backside and front side in a series of racy pics for the fashion label, PrettyLittleThing.

Check it out -- Farrah's rocking several different looks ... all of them very naked.

It's hard to pick a favorite among the provocative shots ... but riding a sheep-shaped shrub without any sort of saddle underneath is definitely Farrah's most risqué (and risky).

Gotta admire her courage.

Question is ... does this top her poppy pose???

MAKING FRIENDS

Wendy Williams is enjoying all the perks of being a bachelorette in New York City -- there's nothing stopping her from fun dinners with friends ... and making new ones.

The newly single talk show host was out with her pal, Blac Chyna, Wednesday night after the 2 dined at Pergola ... and it looked like they were having a blast.

Wendy tells us single life is treating her wonderfully, and it sounds like she's keeping her options wide open when it comes to dating again.

As we've reported ... Wendy filed for divorce from her husband, Kevin Hunter, on the heels of his alleged infidelity, and despite him seeking spousal support, she recently claimed on her show the process was going "pleasantly."

Williams also told her audience she's a "young and pretty New York City girl" who's actively dating and has the ultimate bachelorette pad ... and she's "rediscovering my love of men."

Probably doesn't hurt to have a wingwoman like Chyna.

Lisa Vanderpump Undecided on 'RHOBH' Future ... I Can't Let Them Win!!!

Published

Lisa Vanderpump's leaning toward bailing on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," but one thing's holding her back -- she refuses to give her castmates the satisfaction of seeing her go.

Sources close to Lisa tell TMZ ... she doesn't want to return to the show if it's renewed after what she's dealt with this season, but she absolutely feels like the other 'Housewives' have ganged up on her to push her out.

We're told LV thinks the reason she's raised the ire of her fellow 'RHOBH' stars this season is twofold -- they're jealous of her spin-off success with "Vanderpump Rules" ... and they're trying to distract attention away from their own family legal troubles.

For instance ... the husbands of Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne and Dorit Kemsley have all been hit with million-dollar lawsuits in the past year, but that's largely been avoided in season 9.

Our sources say Lisa thinks that's unfair, and she's grown tired of the negativity and BS directed at her. We're told she is uncertain she'll even attend the upcoming reunion show.

As for all of season 9's dog-drama -- aka PuppyGate -- Lisa's over that too, mostly because the pooch at the center of the controversy is in a happy home and living in the lap of luxury. We're told she feels like that's all been put to rest since taking a lie detector test to prove she didn't sell out Dorit ... so now she's moving on.

Our Vanderpump sources say she's now focusing her efforts on at-risk dogs in China where the annual Dog Meat Festival is approaching.

As for season 10 of 'RHOBH' -- Lisa's far from a lock to participate, when and IF Bravo greenlights it.

'Black Lightning' Marvin Jones We Albinos No More Unique Than Rest of You ... So Stop Killing Us!!!

Published

"Black Lightning" star Marvin Jones III says ignorant people who kill albinos for their "magical powers" should be charged with war crimes ... and he wants the U.S. and other world powers to step up.

We got Marvin out Wednesday afternoon at LAX and wanted to get his take on the Amnesty International's call on Malawians to head to the polls next week and elect leaders who will NOT stand for the continuation of attacks on people with albinism.

The human rights org says the wave of violent attacks are fueled by the false and dangerous myth that body parts of people with albinism contain magical powers and make someone rich.

Marvin -- who portrays the supervillain Tobias Whale on the hit CW show -- says the crisis hasn't gotten enough of the world's attention and wants the U.S. to lead the charge and bring change.

Check out the clip ... Marvin says being born with albinism is very misunderstood and he's saddened by those who continue targeting albinos for a piece of their flesh, blood and bones.

BTW ... Marvin's known in the underground hip-hop world as Krondon -- and belongs to the group Strong Arm Steady. He's written for Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Xzibit ... so dude's definitely talented.

HERE'S HOW YOU PLAY THE GAME

Michael Richards is one of the few people in the world who can relate to the criticism targeting the "Game of Thrones" cast as the show ends ... and he's offering them some sage advice.

We got Michael Wednesday at Sunset Plaza and asked what message he'd send to folks over at 'GoT' ... now that fans are bitching about an underwhelming final season ... and the "Seinfeld" star says it's all about perspective.

Michael lived through the same thing back in the day -- "Seinfeld" was hammered over the series finale -- and Kramer says the secret to dealing with the haters is appreciating what came before.

It's hard to find a "Seinfeld" fan who didn't hate the show's final episode ... and Michael explains how he's dealt with the backlash for all these years, and why 'GoT' stars would be wise to follow his lead.

As Sunday's finale nears, fans are fearful 'GoT' is heading down the same path as "Seinfeld" ... but Michael isn't buying the narrative that HBO's writers are rushing through the 8th and final season. Sorry, social media mob.

Check out our clip ... Michael says its extremely hard for any show to go out on top, and one bad game doesn't tarnish a career.

Todd Chrisley's Son Police Body Cam Shows Meth Allegedly Stashed in Cup

Published | Updated

TMZ's obtained police body cam footage showing where the son of "Chrisley Knows Best" star Todd Chrisley allegedly hid a pouch of meth when cops busted him earlier this month.

In the video, you can see cops in Oklahoma take the lid of a cup and pull out the meth. It appears as if Kyle Chrisley stashed the drug there. Kyle had been pulled over for a broken headlight. That obviously turned out to be the least of his troubles.

We broke the story ... Kyle was arrested for felony possession of methamphetamine. He was also held on an open warrant for his arrest out of Dekalb County, GA ... where he was wanted for threatening to kill his estranged wife, Alexus Chrisley.

There were 2 other passengers with Kyle when cops stopped him ... a woman who can be heard talking to cops in the first part of the video and an older man who was also arrested for possession of weed. You can see him in the latter part of the video ... when cops hauled him and Kyle into jail.

Kyle has had a rocky relationship with his pops, and only appeared in one season of the hit USA reality show. He's due back in court later this month.

Olivia Jade Late Night at the Club ... Not Sweating Fam's Legal Drama

Published | Updated

Olivia Jade's letting her family's lawyers do the lawyering ... and she'll handle the partying.

Lori Loughlin's daughter was spotted out in Hollywood with some friends around 2 AM Wednesday, after leaving the popular nightclub, Bootsy Bellows. She was dressed pretty casual, which seems to be her approach to dealing with her parents' involvement in the college admissions scandal.

The timing of her outing is interesting, though ... Olivia hit the town just as things got more difficult for her mom and dad Mossimo Giannulli. A USC soccer coach who was a critical link in the admissions scam just copped a plea Tuesday ... and insiders say the coach may provide info about the motives of rich parents who wanted to get their students into the university.

As we've reported ... Lori and Mossimo allegedly paid $500k in bribes to get Olivia and her sister into USC under false pretenses.

There's a chance Olivia could eventually be called to testify in her parents' case, but clearly she's not spending her nights preparing for it ... unless one of those guys she's with is an attorney.

Carson Kressley 'Bout Time PBS Aired a Gay Wedding 'Arthur' Gave Kids the Truth

CARTOONS CHANGE CULTURE

Carson Kressley thinks it's incredible a major children's show has finally caught up with the times and showcased a gay marriage ... 'cause it sure ain't 1950 anymore.

We got the 'Queer Eye' legend Tuesday at LAX and he gave us his take on the cartoon series, "Arthur," having its longtime classroom teacher, Mr. Ratburn, marry a guy in the Season 22 premiere ... much to his students' pleasant surprise. It was a HUGE moment in TV history.

Carson tells us it's satisfying to see media gatekeepers realize reality has caught up to us, and you can't really ignore gay people anymore, especially when it comes to kids.

Oh, and check out Carson's attempt at trying to decipher what kind of animal Mr. Ratburn (rat, BTW) -- it's hilarious ... and a little NSFW too. Get this man back in front of a camera!!!

It's interesting ... "Sesame Street" brass came out last year to shoot one of their former writer's notion that Bert and Ernie were, in fact, a gay couple -- to the chagrin of the LGBT community. Weirdly enough though, the company seems to have deleted its statement.

Either way, it looks like "Arthur" is picking up the baton though and ready to represent.

Patricia Arquette To Fight Bad Abortion Laws Don't Bang These Types of Guys!!!

NOT THE RIGHT STRIKE

Patricia Arquette thinks Alyssa Milano's heart is in the right place with her so-called sex strike -- but she thinks it needs to be narrowed a bit to battle harmful abortion laws.

The outspoken actress spoke with us Tuesday at LAX about the newest hot-button issue surrounding a controversial law in Georgia that just passed, and Alyssa's call-to-arms to fight it ... women to withhold sex from men until the Peach State reverses course.

Patricia agrees the Georgia law poses a serious danger to women, but worries the strike might cast too big a net.

Check it out ... Patricia agrees something's gotta be done to ensure women have autonomy over their bodies

On the blanket solution of a #sexstrike for all though, Patricia doesn't think most women will go for that. Unless, of course, you start to divvy up the potential recipients of said strike into blue or red, and where theses fellas fall in the voter's box.

Now you got something effective -- according to her, anyway.

'Bosch' Star Titus Welliver Catch Me in Splitsville

Published

Titus Welliver is one step closer to being officially single ... for the 4th time -- he's filing for legal separation from his wife.

According to court records ... Titus filed Tuesday in L.A. County Superior court to make it his split from Josepha Theordora Stemkens all legal. The couple's been married since April 12, 2014.

Titus, best known as the star of "Bosch," has also had big roles on "Lost," "Deadwood" and "Sons of Anarchy." This was his fourth marriage. He'd previously divorced Heather Wielandt and Joanna Heimbold.

He was widowed after Elizabeth Alexander died of breast cancer in 2012.

Welliver has a daughter with Alexander and 2 sons with Heimbold.

Tim Conway 'Carol Burnett Show' Star Dies at 85

Published | Updated

Comedic actor Tim Conway -- Carol Burnett's costar on her long-running variety show -- died Tuesday in Los Angeles.

Conway's rep, Howard Bragman, says Tim was battling complications from normal pressure hydrocephalus -- an accumulation of spinal fluid on the brain. He had reportedly been suffering from dementia ... and had been under a conservatorship formed to make medical care decisions. The court appointed his wife, Charlene, his conservator.

Tim, along with the late Harvey Korman, starred brilliantly on "The Carol Burnett Show." Their scenes with Carol were legendary, as all 3 stars constantly tried -- and often succeeded -- in making the others crack up on camera.

Tim was originally a guest star when the series started in 1967, but became a regular in 1975, and remained a fixture on it until it ended in 1978.

He went on to guest star on many, many, many TV comedies ... such as "Married with Children," "Cybill," and "The Larry Sanders Show."

Conway also starred in his hilarious "Dorf on Golf" series of videos, and was the special guest in a famed season 8 episode of "The Simpsons" -- "The Simpsons Spin-Off Showcase."

He's a 6-time Emmy winner -- 4 for 'Carol Burnett' and one each for guest roles on "Coach" and "30 Rock" -- and took home a Golden Globe in 1976 too.

Tim is survived by his wife, 7 kids and 2 granddaughters.

In lieu of flowers, Tim's family would like donations to be made to the Lou Ruvo Brain Center at the Cleveland Clinic in Las Vegas, Nevada.

He was 85 and funny as hell.

RIP

Kylie Jenner Mama's Launching Her Own Baby Biz!!!

Published | Updated

Kylie Jenner's expanding her business empire ... she's getting into the baby biz!!!

According to docs obtained by TMZ ... Kylie's filed trademarks for "Kylie Baby" and it seems as if she's gearing up to launch a baby line that'll cover just about everything your average baby mama's gonna need with a new little one in tow.

In docs, "Kylie Baby" wants to crank out baby furniture ... like cribs, bouncers, changing tables and baby walkers. She's also diving into the non-medicated skin care prep side of things with skin moisturizers, lotions and creams.

That's not all ... Kylie wants to cover you with her own line of linens, swaddling blankets and crib jumpers. Tryna store breast milk? She wants to cover ya too with breast storage bottles and even breast pumps.

There's also plans to slap the "Kylie Baby" name on strollers, children's car seats and diaper bags.

Men's Wearhouse Founder You're Gonna Like How Petty I Look ... I Still Guarantee It!!!

Published

'Memba the Men's Wearhouse pitchman who had those iconic commercials guaranteeing satisfaction? Well, he's still makin' the same promises ... almost word-for-word, but for his new company.

George Zimmer -- the founder of MW, who got booted from the company back in 2013 -- is now the face of Generation Tux ... another retail startup he launched that specializes in tuxedos for men. Sound familiar? Yeah ... that ain't the only thing, trust us.

Zimmer's GT ads feature VERY similar language to the ones he doled out for Men's Wearhouse, once upon a time. You know the commercials we're talking about ... we guarantee it!!!

In case you hadn't heard, Zimmer was essentially forced out of his original company by the board of directors after a new regime came on board, and they couldn't see eye-to-eye. They said they'd fired him, but he insisted he resigned, at the time. Who knows?

It's not news that ol' George started Generation Tux ... that's been established for years now. What's hilarious is his ads are still running on TV -- we spotted one on ESPN this morning -- and they continue to feature almost the exact same lines he made famous.

Old grudges die hard it seems. Lookin' good there, Georgie.

'Game of Thrones' Bran's the Odds Fave to Win it All ... But He Won't Get Ya Paid

Published | Updated

The "Game of Thrones" gods odds have spoken, and they got your boy, Bran Stark, sitting on the Iron Throne for the series finale ... but betting on him won't make you a bunch of cash.

WARNING ... MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

The good folks over at SportsBetting.ag have set their new online betting odds for this coming Sunday's final episode ever, and the virtual bookies have Bran as the top pick for Ruler of Westeros. His ratio ain't all that good though for anybody -- just 1/1.

That means for every dollar you bet on Bran winning, you'll get exactly that amount back if it comes true ... not a huge payout. The house loses dough, so he's not ideal for anyone ... betting-wise, that is. We're sure he'd make a fine king on TV.

Now that we know neither Arya, Jamie or even Daenerys got around to killing Cersei themselves -- turns out, it was a bunch of rubble that got it done -- there are new bets on how the final episode will play out. Here's who gamblers have dying and surviving.

Jon Snow is the odds-on favorite to survive the whole thing at 2/5. Arya's survival rate is pegged at 1/1 ... and folks are betting on Dany to die by sword/dagger at 1/2.

Seeing how she just torched all of King's Landing -- killing thousands upon thousands of innocents -- A LOT of people are predicting her death ... so yeah, we don't see her living.

Some other fun bets being taken right now:

-- Will Ghost make one last appearance after that tragic no-pet goodbye? A 1/3 chance of yes, and a 2/1 chance at no. Ya gotta hope he does, that send-off was trash.

-- Will Tyrion perish after betraying Dany (again) and letting Jaime go free to be with Cersei? This one could go either way, but they seem to think he'll survive ... 1/1 odds for yes, and 2/3 odds for no.

-- And, perhaps most importantly, will there be NUDITY in the final episode??? Fans don't seem to be betting on it at 1/1 for yes, and 2/3 no.

Jenelle Evans Fallout from Dog Killing ... Jace and Kaiser Removed from Home

Published | Updated

Jenelle Evans' husband, David Eason, has alarmed Columbus County Child Protective Services to the point of 2 of the kids who were living in their house are now out ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources say Jenelle's 9-year-old child, Jace -- who she had with Andrew Lewis -- cannot come back to Jenelle's home to visit, per orders of CPS ... sources connected to Jenelle tell TMZ. Jenelle's mother has custody of Jace and Jenelle has visitation rights, but we're told CPS has put the brakes on visits to Jenelle's home because of the dog-killing incident earlier this month.

We're told CPS will not allow visits until its investigation is completed.

We've also confirmed Jenelle's 4-year-old son, Kaiser, was removed from the home Friday and is currently staying with his father, Nathan Griffith, and Nathan's mom. By the way, Kaiser was in the house when David beat and then shot the family dog, killing it.

As for David and Jenelle's 2-year-old daughter, Ensley ... we're told she's still in the home, and partly because authorities believe it's treacherous to enter the property given David's temper combined with his firepower.
