Brittany Cartwright Says Jax Taylor Assaulted Her, Threatened to ‘Gut’ Her …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The ongoing legal war between Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor took a stunning new turn today.

In court documents obtained by TMZ, Brittany requests a temporary restraining order, alleging that Jax threatened to “gut” her “like a f—en fish” and physically attacked her.

The request was granted, and Jax has been ordered to stay 100 yards away from Brittany at all times.

Brittany also requested sole custody of the exes’ 5-year-old son, Cruz, but that petition was denied pending a hearing.

Brittany alleges that Jax engaged in “coercive control, financial abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, gaslighting, and even physical violence perpetrated upon me.”

She also accuses him of physically attacking her and throwing furniture at her, which resulted in injuries.

She goes on to claim that Jax — with whom she co-starred on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules — intentionally damaged multiple iPhones and one iPad during one of his alleged rages.

TMZ has also obtained what they say are photos showing the aftermath of one of Jax’s alleged violent outbursts.

The photos seem to show a large bruise on Brittany’s knee, a badly damaged iPad, and other signs of

Brittany alleges that the damage took place during a July 2024 incident at their home.

She claims that Jax became angry after going through private messages on her iPad.

She alleges that the bruise is a result of Jax throwing a coffee table, which struck her on the knee.

Needless to say, these are very serious allegations, and the legal war between these exes is likely to intensify even further from here.

Jax previously accused Brittany of trying to sabotage his career by making damaging public statements.

These days, Jax is dating Lori Krebs, a friend of Brittany’s who previously worked as her publicist.

Brittany condemned the relationship, as well as Jax’s infidelities and other transgressions during their relationship, but this is the first time that she has accused him of physical abuse.

Taylor has yet to publicly respond to the allegations.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

King Harald V Dies at 89, Succeeded by Crown Prince Haakon

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Harald was Europe’s oldest living monarch.

At 89, the king of Norway has died.

He is succeeded by his son, Haakon, who is currently embroiled in a family scandal.

The late king had a reputation as a reformer. He actually fled Norway and lived in the United States as a child.

King Harald Haakon was 89

On Friday, August 28, King Harald died.

“It is with deep grief that we announce that His Majesty King Harald has passed away,” the Royal House of Norway announced.

The statement continued: “King Harald died peacefully at Oslo University Hospital Rikshospitalet Friday 28 August at 6:35 AM.”

Harald entered what would be his final hospitalization on August 17.

The aging monarch had a blood infection.

Previously, Harald had received a pacemaker.

During a vacation in Malaysia in 2024, the Norwegian monarch fell ill.

Doctors determined that he needed the device, which can restore normal sinus rhythm in patients with specific heart problems.

Later that year, he had shared publicly that he would be reducing his public appearances.

Harald was the head of state since 1991. Born in 1937, he spent much of his childhood in the United States, where FDR granted sanctuary to him, his mother, and his siblings as they fled from the Nazis during World War II.

Who is the new king of Norway?

Crown Prince Haakon Magnus will succeed his late father.

He will take on the title of King Haakon VIII.

The new king of Norway is 53. Though this does not make him the picture of youth, he is decades younger than his father. A Gen X monarch.

Harald earned a reputation as a reformer who helped to lead the way towards the lingering monarchies in Europe showing more transparency with the public.

It remains unclear what sort of royal reputation his son will acquire.

However, the new monarch’s wife will become Queen Mette-Marit.

She unfortunately shows up in the Epstein files.

Not only did she email with the disgraced dead pedophile, but met with him multiple times.

She has expressed regret over the association, making her far from the first. She, too, insisted that she had no idea what sort of malevolent predator Epstein really was.

Harald V’s passing is likely a keen reminder of why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle probably moved home.

Jenelle Evans Defends Decision to Homeschool, Says Her Kids Are Too Famous For Public …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Jenelle Evans isn’t exactly a Mom of the Year candidate, so her decision to homeschool her kids has received a fair bit of backlash.

Now, Jenelle has offered yet another explanation for why she pulled her kids out of school — and this time, she’s blaming their Teen Mom 2 fame.

Because apparently, after years of reality TV, social media oversharing, and Jenelle’s seemingly endless personal drama, the real problem is that Kaiser and Ensley are simply too famous for school.

Yes, Evans announced this week that her son Kaiser, 12, and daughter Ensley, 9, are now being homeschooled.

Jenelle has already provided several reasons for the decision, including Kaiser allegedly being bullied and her claim that her health issues make driving the kids to school too difficult.

Now she has added another explanation to the list: Everyone knows who her children are.

“One more note I want to add about homeschooling… my kids were born on TV and even though we haven’t filmed in years people still recognize all of us in public, this includes all schools they attend,” Jenelle wrote on social media (via The Ashley’s Reality Roundup).

According to Jenelle, things get even worse whenever an article about her family is published.

“Once an article gets posted then my kids are questioned by adults about adult situations at home that aren’t even true,” she claimed.

Jenelle said homeschooling will allow her to protect the kids from being “judged or bullied.”

Unfortunately for her, fans weren’t exactly lining up to applaud this particular explanation.

“You put them out there with all the drama you post,” one person commented.

“You did that to them!” another wrote. “They get bullied because of YOU…”

And, well… it’s difficult to argue that Jenelle has exactly made privacy a priority over the years.

Earlier this week, Jenelle explained that Kaiser had been struggling with bullying, particularly related to his weight. She also said her complex regional pain syndrome makes it too painful for her to drive the kids to and from school.

“I literally was taking two hours, three hours, out of my day in the morning and in the afternoons just to do dropoffs and pickups,” she said.

Of course, there’s one small detail that raised some eyebrows: Jenelle chose a school located more than 40 minutes from her home.

She also admitted that homeschooling is convenient because the kids can travel with her when she needs to go somewhere.

“If I do have to do any traveling, they can go with me!” she said.

Meanwhile, Jenelle insists she isn’t actually teaching the children herself.

“I’m not the teacher in this. I just put ’em on the computer!” she explained.

So there you have it, folks.

The kids are too famous, Mom is too injured to drive, school is too far away, homeschooling is more convenient — and apparently, the computer is now the teacher.

What could possibly go wrong?

Kylie Jenner Wants Even Larger Breast Implants: ‘I Say It Every Day’

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Do you know what Kylie Jenner needs?

Bigger breasts!

The famously busty makeup mogul recent spoke on a friends’ podcast and confessed her plans for future implants.

Hey, it’s her body. But … how much bigger are we talking?

‘I do want them bigger’

On the Wednesday, August 26 episode of the Better Half With Stas and Vic podcast, Kylie admitted that her already large breasts just aren’t cutting it for her.

She told her hosts, longtime friend Anastasia Karanikolaou and former employee Victoria Villarroel, that she wants “bigger and more out there” breast implants.

“I do want them bigger,” Kylie confessed.

“I say it every day,” she revealed.

Kylie appears to already be a D or DD bust.

Kylie quipped: “I want my tits to walk in before I do.”

Regardless of someone’s gender or anatomy, if primary or secondary sex characteristics precede them into a room, it’s usually said as a compliment.

Kylie confirmed that she has been talking more seriously about increasing her implant size “for the past year.”

Stassi confirmed: “She has, like, an obsession with big tits.”

Kylie agreed, saying: “Love tits.” To paraphrase a memorable line from Victoria Justice, I think we all love tits. What varies are the details.

‘I want diamonds dripping from my belly button’

If you’re not already aware, Kylie Jenner just turned 29 — mere weeks after potentially tanking her brand by advertising the pervert glasses.

She shared that she “probably” won’t grow top-heavier before she turns 30.

However, Kylie does plan to get her belly button pierced “just to experience it.”

She shared: “I want diamonds dripping from my belly button. Dripping everywhere.”

Last year, Kylie shared that her implants are: “445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!! silicone!!! … Hope this helps lol.” It is unclear what new size she might seek.

Kylie Jenner looks too hot to handle 🔥🥵 pic.twitter.com/JROjWLehUL

— ʙᴀᴛᴛᴇʀʏ (@itzz_battery) August 28, 2026

It is very tempting to second-guess Kylie’s plans, saying either that her figure is already perfect or that, if anything, she’s a little bustier than her small frame necessarily needs.

But this is Kylie’s body. If she wishes to undergo a surgery — even one with a famously miserable recovery time — and buy a new wardrobe, that’s up to her.

Everyone in the world has a right to the exact sort of body that they want.

Unlike Kylie, however, the vast majority of people cannot afford it.

Insofar as outside opinions matter at all, there are definitely some people who will be cheering and celebrating whenever Kylie unveils her new bust.

Jake Reiner Gives First Interview Since Parents’ Murders, Brother’s Arrest

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Jake Reiner is opening up about the unimaginable family tragedy that has changed his life forever.

Eight months after his parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were found dead inside their Los Angeles home, Jake sat down for his first television interview since their deaths — and since his younger brother, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with their murders.

Speaking with KABC-TV, Jake, 35, offered a heartbreaking glimpse into the reality of losing both parents while simultaneously watching his brother become the central figure in the criminal case surrounding their deaths.

“It’s been eight months,” Jake said (via Page Six). “It feels like eight years at the same time. And it also feels like eight minutes.”

The eldest Reiner son recalled learning that something was terribly wrong after receiving a call from his sister, Romy.

“Romy told me our dad was dead and then she said, ‘I can’t find mom,’” he recalled.

Rob and Michele were found dead at their Brentwood home on December 14, 2025. Their deaths were determined to have resulted from multiple sharp force injuries.

Nick was arrested shortly afterward and has pleaded not guilty to two counts of murder. He is currently being held without bail while awaiting further proceedings.

For Jake, however, the legal case is only one part of a much larger nightmare.

“I physically lost my parents. And then Nick was arrested. … He’s in jail,” he explained. “And now it’s me and Romy.”

Jake and Romy previously described their parents as their “best friends” in a joint statement following the killings. Jake later wrote about the devastating loss in an April essay, acknowledging the complicated reality of mourning his parents while his brother was accused of killing them.

“We lost more than half of our family that night in the most violent way imaginable,” he wrote at the time.

Jake also spoke about the unconditional love his parents had for all three of their children, including Nick, who has struggled with addiction and mental health issues for years.

He pointed specifically to the 2015 film Being Charlie, which Nick co-wrote and Rob directed, as an effort by his father to understand and connect with his son.

“My parents had unconditional love for all three of us,” Jake said. “They never stopped wanting to help him.”

Jake and Romy have not attended Nick’s court hearings, although both siblings recently testified before the grand jury that indicted him. The contents of their testimony remain unknown.

Asked about the tragedy and whether he expects to ever understand why it happened, Jake offered a devastatingly simple response.

“I’ll never understand,” he said. “I don’t care what facts come out. I will never understand why this happened.”

Nick’s next pre-trial hearing is scheduled for September 15. He faces life in prison without parole or potentially the death penalty if convicted.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Dolly Parton Opened Up About ‘Suicidal’ Depression Ahead of Death

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As you’ve certainly heard by now, Dolly Parton passed away this week at the age of 80.

The country music legend was one of the most beloved public figures of her time, but it seems that in private, she struggled with doubts and anxieties that plague most people at one point or another.

In a newly resurfaced interview, Dolly candidly opened up about the emotional turmoil she experienced in the mid-1980s.

At the time, the singer was dealing with major health problems and the realization that she might never have children with her husband, Carl Dean.

Parton’s depressive episode came after she began experiencing menopause and underwent a partial hysterectomy.

The procedure left her unable to have children, something that became an enormous source of emotional pain.

Dolly also admitted that she felt guilty about putting her career ahead of motherhood. She had spent years building a remarkable career, but she couldn’t help wondering whether she had made the wrong choices.

The emotional toll became so severe that Parton described herself as suicidal.

A post shared by Dolly Parton (@dollyparton)

“Then one day, I just said to myself, ‘Right, get off your fat b-tt, or if you really are suicidal, then go and shoot your brains out. But get your misery out of other people’s lives and shut up!'” she recalled (via Radar Online).

Despite everything she had accomplished, Parton admitted she sometimes imagined what life would have been like if she had become a mother.

“I think I would have made a nice mama,” she said.

Parton and Dean had tried to have children for many years. She explained that she had initially put motherhood on hold because her career was thriving and she was taking birth control pills. After eventually stopping the medication, however, she still did not become pregnant.

Over time, Parton found a way to make peace with that part of her life.

“I don’t feel sad about it,” she explained, saying she came to believe that perhaps God had another purpose for her.

Dolly ultimately devoted enormous energy to helping children through her charitable work, including her beloved Imagination Library. She came to view her relationship with children around the world as part of a larger plan.

“I thought maybe God didn’t want me to have kids so that everybody else’s kids could be mine,” she said.

Parton’s relationship with Dean remained another source of strength throughout her life. The couple married in 1966 and remained together for nearly six decades until his death in March 2025.

In a 2024 appearance on Bunnie Xo’s Dumb Blonde podcast, Parton reflected on the secret to their long-lasting relationship.

“We never fought back and forth,” she explained, adding that either one could use humor to break the tension when things became difficult.

Dean died at 82. Seventeen months later, Parton died at 80 following a brief battle with cancer.

Her private struggles serve as another reminder that even the brightest public personas can conceal profound pain.

Leah Remini Joining ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Season 16 After …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Leah Remini is coming to Bravo!

Season 16 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is adding two new (famous) faces.

Remini is recently divorced following a marriage that spanned decades. She is also famous for her anti-Scientology advocacy.

This casting decision is a genuinely good move by Bravo.

Welcome to ‘Real Housewives,’ Leah Remini!

Andy Cohen has been cooking!

Bravo has selected the cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the upcoming Season 16.

Two new women are joining. Neither are strangers to cameras, and most viewers will recognize one if not both.

One is Million Dollar Listing star Tracy Tutor.

The other is Leah Remini, famous actress and famous anti-Scientology activist.

Normally, we’d have to quibble (however politely) about reports on casting.

However, when the news broke on Instagram, Remini replied.

“It’s true!!” she wrote, sharing the post so that her own followers wouldn’t have to find out from someone else.

The Season 16 cast will also include Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke, and Rachel Zoe.

We’ll be seeing Jennifer Tilly as a “Friend of” this season. Unfortunately, we can also expect Kathy Hilton to show up as well. (We’re not Kathy haters, but she does bring a weird tension to the show that’s just not as fun as it should be.)

What storylines is she likely to have?

Sometimes, we can only guess at what storylines will jump out with a cast member. That remains true of even big names in the entertainment industry.

(Who among us would have predicted Denise Richards’ biggest storyline when she was first cast?)

In the case of Lean Remini, however, we do know two big things that she has gone through that will, at the very least, inform her choices and attitudes.

The first is that she is divorced. In 2024, she and her long-time husband split after over two decades of marriage. That is an adjustment, even two years out.

More famously, Remini’s innocent questions about Shelly Miscavige’s whereabouts in 2006 led to her apparent persecutions by the Church of Scientology. Eventually, she and her family escaped from the widely condemned organization, and she has used her platform to speak out against them ever since.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Leah Remini (@leahremini)

Within a couple of years of escaping the Church of Scientology, Leah Remini and her immediately family converted to Catholicism.

Though Catholicism is a religion and has never, to our knowledge, been classified as a predatory business by any government entity, there are some superficial and structural similarities.

This seems like a natural leap for someone who grew up in Scientology, as both are powerful institutions that own property all over the world, have a confessional apparatus, and are deeply controversial.

It is unclear if Remini’s new beliefs will be a factor as she joins the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast, however.

We may end up seeing her work, her relationships, her activism, or even feuds as she enters her Bravo era. It could be exciting!
