This rumor is 100% NOT true!

As we wrote, there were reports that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were going to couples therapy to work on their fractured marriage.

The past few months have been extremely tough for the world’s most talked about couple. Not only did the KUWTK star get robbed at gunpoint inside of her Paris residence, the Famous rapper was hospitalized for exhaustion at UCLA Medical Center.

While both parties are going to counseling for their respective traumas, they are not going together. According to a source:

“They are not in couples counseling, but Kanye does still see a therapist every day.”

A different insider says Yeezy’s sessions have been extremely helpful and productive.

“He’s doing a lot better… He’s definitely getting better at saying no to projects.”

Over the weekend, Miz Kardashian and Mr. West were spotted out on date night at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, marking their first outing together since the rapper’s hospitalization.

Don’t write off Kimye just yet! They might actually make it.

It’s Debra Messing, you gays!

Nothing says Happy Holidays more than dragging Emmy-winning actresses through the streets of New York City… but you don’t need to tell Billy Eichner that — he already knows!

In fact, that’s exactly what he did during Tuesday night’s Billy on the Street holiday special, with VERY special guest Debra Messing.

If you’ve been watching Leah Remini‘s new docuseries Scientology and the Aftermath, you know there have been A TON of shocking reveals about the church.

But Tuesday night had the most surprising guest yet!

Related: Leah Gives Viewers A Crash Course In Scientology!

Last night’s episode featured three former members of the Church of Scientology who shared stories about the group’s leader David Miscavige. The most surprising of the guests though, was David’s father, Ron Miscavige, who dished on his experiences with the Church and gave insight into his son’s personality!

The first two former Scientologists Leah spoke to were Jeff Hawkins, who was involved in marketing found L. Ron Hubbard’s promotional books in the ’80s, and Tom Devocht, a member for 30 years.

Both men shared some disturbing details about their time with the organization as Hawkins revealed he was physically abused by the younger Miscavige and called him “a mean guy.”

DeVocht also claimed to have been physically assaulted by the Church’s leader and even said David admitted to him that the upper levels of enlightenment in Scientology were all fake! The admission was enough for DeVocht to leave the group as he admitted:

“The idea of walking away… and becoming a homeless bum — or even dead — was better, more palatable, than staying in the organization at that point.”

The REAL meat of the show came when the former King of Queens star spoke with David’s estranged dad, who dished a lot of deets on his son!

While speaking with Leah, the elderly Miscavige talked about his son joining the church and his own 42 years with the religion. Interestingly enough, Ron described David as quite brilliant with a lot of determination, but also as someone who would “remove” anyone who got in his way. YIKES!

The estranged father went on to tell the story of how his son left home when he was only 16 to start working for Hubbard until he eventually became one of the most important people within the organization.

Eventually, Ron became a Scientologist too, but the relationship with his son was already slipping away as he said once David was a leader within the church, he addressed his dad as “Ron,” and Ron had to call his son “sir.”

That’s so sad!

During Ron’s involvement with the church, he claimed to have lived at the international headquarters known as “Gold Base” near Hemet , California. Ron described some of his living conditions saying where he stayed was fenced in with with barbwire, and his outgoing mail and phone calls were monitored by security. Members were even accompanied to the doctor to make sure they wouldn’t use health appointments as an excuse to escape!

It wasn’t until David gave his father an Amazon Kindle that Ron discovered what the outside world thought of Scientology! The head of the church apparently didn’t mean to give his father the device with Internet access as he didn’t want dear old dad knowing the truth!

That’s when the older Miscavige decided to leave with his wife, but there was a bit of a problem as he said:

“If the word got out that we were planning on leaving, we would’ve been seized. My car keys would’ve been taken away. Becky and I would’ve been separated from each other, and we would’ve done manual labor throughout the day, and when we weren’t (doing) that, we’d be interrogated by an auditor.”

Once Ron and his wife were able to get out, he says they were tracked by GPS and even followed for MONTHS! What’s even worse is while investigators hired by David were watching Ron, they thought the old man was having a heart attack. At the time, the men immediately called the Church’s headquarters and allegedly spoke with David who told them:

“If it’s his time to die, let him die. Don’t intervene. Don’t do anything.”

UGH!

Despite all of this, Ron made the heartbreaking admission that if his son ever wanted to shake his hand or give him a hug, he wouldn’t hesitate.

TEARS!

What do you think of the most recent claims against the Church of Scientology?

Celebrity fashion is thought to be another dimension, but the love of Converse All Stars,, AKA Chuck Taylors, unites us all. Originally designed for men as a basketball shoe, women celebrities expanded the horizons of Converse and made the sneakers a unisex fashion staple. Best of all, they’re available on main street for us mere mortals.

According to research by Couponbox, the first time a female celebrity wore Converse on TV was Shirley MacLaine dancing on a piano in 1956 and the world has never looked back. Women celebs have been rocking the Converse sneaker for fifty years and show no sign of stopping soon. Converse have also become an essential item in our wardrobes and have been dubbed the trainers that look good on everyone. Here are four iconic female celebs who are rocking their Converse to help show you how your All Stars can make you look like a star in 2016:

Alexa Chung: Classic and Chic

Converse may have originally been a male sport shoe, but here Alexa is exuding a classic femininity. Alexa could pair this white ruffled blouse or any of her well-known floral numbers with All Stars to give them a cool edge. This is effortlessly chic and an easy way to jazz up a classic ‘girly’ aesthetic and shows you don’t have to be punk to rock Converse.

Kirsten Stewart: Traditional Rock ‘n’ Roll

Perhaps the style more commonly associated with the All Star, vampire goddess Kirsten Stewart demonstrates how the Converse sneakers perfectly tie together any punky aesthetic. To achieve a K-stew style, pair some All Star high tops with ripped denim and a casual plaid shirt and exude bad-ass style. If it’s nippy outside, throw on a leather jacket to complete the outfit. This is a look that can be easily created with minimal expense and make you feel like a rock star.

Gigi Hadid: Sporty Fashionista

Gigi Hadid is known for her love of sneakers and is a frequent ambassador of the All Stars. The monochrome aesthetic is on trend for this winter and would collaborate nicely with white Converse. The style icon shows how the sneakers could blur the lines between sports and fashion and there’s no reason you can’t don your gym outfit for a shopping trip.

Beyoncé: Timeless and Fabulous

Last, but certainly not least, who better than Queen B to illustrate that a sparkly Converse can jazz up any outfit and make you the star of the show. Beyoncé has been spotted in Converse in the past. When not performing, Beyoncé pairs her Converse with a tale as old as time – blue jeans and a white t-shirt. The sneakers are an excellent way to inject some glitz into a simple look. The sparkle adds excitement to even the most mundane of days and truly demonstrates Converse’s versatility.

Converse’s 100-year anniversary is coming up in 2017, and it has had an impressive journey. The sneakers effortlessly transferred across fashion trends throughout the ages, from punk-rock to preppy chic. This journey isn’t over. The legendary footwear comes in a variety of colors and styles, from pink canvas to black leather and everything in-between. There’s a Converse out there for everyone, just waiting to be found, and with all these possibilities you really can’t afford to be without them!

We have a feeling these two won’t be resolving their issues anytime soon…

Following Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans‘ bid to get sole custody of son Kaiser, his dad Nathan Griffith took to Real Mr. Housewife to tell his side of the story. As one would expect, things got MESSY.

According to Griffith, who was JUST arrested for lying to police and alleged domestic abuse last week, he deserves more time with his son. In fact, the poppa believes Kai should live with him permanently!

Nathan explained:

“(Kaiser) needs a good, loving environment like I can provide him instead of him being 2 and a half years old already getting stuck in pre-school. Jenelle doesn’t work. How about she take him to the park? You see all the pictures I constantly post with him. I have a blast with him. And then she tries to say that (I don’t spend time with him) just because there was one weekend I asked my Mom to watch him so I could go out with my girlfriend? I mean, come on. Aren’t there weeks at a time she doesn’t have Kaiser because she has him at David’s Moms while they go on these extravagant vacations? The woman is a book of contradictions.”

Well, there are definitely “contradictions” abound on both sides of this dramatic situation…

The reality star added:

Jenelle spreads so many lies about me. I’m just going to end up going to mediation. I already talked to my lawyer and can’t go into great detail about this. My Mom asked Jenelle if she wants Kaiser to be supervised (and) if she could come to pick Kaiser up. She said, ‘Oh yeah, you can pick him up anytime’ and then she doesn’t respond. She’s a liar.”

To make matters even worse, the body builder insinuated Jenelle causes Kaiser to get sick and repeatedly injured:

“She wants to proclaim me being this horrible father and that she doesn’t trust me, yet she’s living with a convicted felon who just was sentenced to jail for 60 days. Also, all the marks and bruises and all the sicknesses and strange illnesses Kaiser has have never been with me, only with her. Like the hand foot mouth disease, the rashes, the blisters on his butt, the scraped up knees, the bump on his head- I can go on and on.”

Yikes… what a sad situation overall. Hopefully a mediator is able to resolve this back and forth.

So, whose side are YOU on?

Lena Dunham is raising eyebrows for confirming she’s never had an abortion, but saying she “wishes” she had. Listen to the audio below.

Dunham, a staunch supporter of Planned Parenthood and a woman’s right to choose, made the comment on her podcast, “Women of the Hour.” In the second season’s fifth episode, which actually came out a few days ago, she extensively discussed the topic of abortion. The “Girls” creator was addressing her own inability to fully understand what it’s like to go through such a thing when she made the controversial remark.

“Something I’ve thought about a lot is that there is stigma around abortion. We all know that,” she said, noting, “I always thought that I myself didn’t stigmatize abortion. I am a abortion rights activist. It’s a huge part of who I am.”

She went on to share, however, “But one day, when I was visiting a Planned Parenthood in Texas a few years ago, a young girl walked up to me and asked me if I’d like to be a part of her project, in which women share their stories of abortions. I sort of jumped. ‘I haven’t had an abortion,’ I told her. I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion.”

“And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt it was important that people know I was unblemished in this department,” continued Dunham.

The star named her mom and best friend as people in her life who have, in fact, had abortions, and confessed that it all made her realize she had “internalized some of what society was throwing at us and I had to put it in the garbage.” Dunham then admitted, “Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had.”

Unsurprisingly, Dunham is now getting trashed by a number of conservative outlets, as well as pro-life Twitter users, who find her statement inappropriate. Others who are objecting are also pointing out that abortions are often painful, tragic experiences, and not something one typically “wishes” to go through. The full segment can be heard below, beginning at the 13:30 mark.

Zendaya appeared live on Tuesday’s “GMA” to discuss her new clothing line, and gave three lucky audience members on-the-spot style makeovers. Watch below!

Called “Zendaya’s Style Ambush,” the singer, actress, dancer and now designer randomly picked three people from the studio audience to give fresh looks, inspired by her own collection, Daya by Zendaya. The first woman came out wearing what the star conceded is “literally pajamas,” before explaining, “What the cool thing is, at least for me, you can mix and match separates.” She actually suggested pairing the lounge-wear top with jeans and heels.

Next, the second chosen audience member rocked a “ready to party outfit,” which was a velvet suit. “One of my favorites,” said Zendaya, noting that, like the pajamas, it’s “super comfortable.” And lastly, Zendaya’s third fan-turned-model showed off a “back to work” dress, which the former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant revealed can “compact” enough to fit in your bag for a quick change.

Prior to the mini-makeovers, Zendaya sat down with the morning show’s anchors, discussing everything from appearing in Beyonce’s “All Night” music video to her role in the upcoming Spider-man movie. Amy Robach also thought it was particularly awesome that she’s “known just by one name.”

And at one point, Michael Strahan marveled, “You’re still only 20… You are on your way, Oprah!” Check out the full video below!

We see you, Britney Spears!

It looks like Miz Spears is continuing to spend some quality time with Slumber Party costar Sam Asghari. Over the weekend, BritBrit and the music video hottie were photographed (above) leaving the Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ restaurant in Canoga Park, CA.

Of course, this latest outing comes only a handful of weeks after the fitness instructor and the A-lister had tongues waggin’ about their potential romance as they got cozy during a different sushi date. We smell a budding relationship, don’t you?

The Toxic singer and Asghari certainly looked like a couple as the 35-year-old rocked black knee-high suede boots with a mini skirt, while Sam donned a cool denim jacket. LOVES it!

And Sam proved himself to be a gentleman as he was seen shielding Britney from the cold/paparazzi — oh, and he also opened the car door for her. Awwww!

While public info is sparse on the pop star’s rumored beau, we do know he maintains his fit physique by working as an instructor at Royal Personal Training. No wonder he got cast as the studly arm candy in the blonde stunner’s video with Tinashe!

Get it, Brit — LOLz!

We still can’t believe we’ve lost our beloved TV dad, Alan Thicke.

As you know, the 69-year-old suddenly passed away from a heart attack after playing hockey with his son, Carter, last week.

On Sunday night, many of Hollywood’s stars and Alan’s closest friends gathered to honor the actor and his amazing career.

In attendance was the entire cast of Growing Pains — including Leonardo DiCaprio and Kirk Cameron — Bob Saget, Alex Trebek, Bill Maher, and many more.

A family member took to Facebook to reflect on the evening’s events:

“Tonight’s memorial for Alan was just about perfect. So much family and so many historic friends came out to remember our beloved father-figure. Speaking for Alan so beautifully was (I’m realizing now) an all-star cast. We heard from our own Robin Thicke who brought up all dear dad’s best friends, Bob Saget, Bill Maher, Alex Trebec [sic] who I had no idea had such old deep ties to our family, the entire cast of Growing Pains including Leo and Kirk Cameron who I had the pleasure of meeting for the first time, along with his wife who became an instant friend.”

Sounds like a wonderful way to say goodbye to the iconic celeb.

Our hearts continue to go out to the Thicke’s during this time.
