Courtney Stodden is tired of Chrissy Teigen talking like she’s a victim of cancel culture — they say she’s really just a bully trying to score sympathy points.
Here’s the deal … Chrissy recently vented on social media, saying she’s the newest member of the “cancel club” in the wake of her cyberbullying scandal, but Courtney sees that as BS … because, as they tell us, “cancel club” isn’t even a real thing.
On the other hand, Courtney says normalizing bullying definitely is real, and that’s their concern — despite Chrissy’s online griping, if bullies don’t suffer consequences they’ll never change.

You’ll remember, back in June, Chrissy said she’d be privately reaching out to “people I insulted” to apologize for past conduct — but we’re told she still has not contacted Courtney or their team. She’s also still blocking Courtney on Twitter.

One celeb who has apologized to Courtney for previously making fun of her is Jason Biggs … who recently sent them a DM as an olive branch.
CS tells us they’re “done with the games” and they just want to focus on bigger issues, not on Chrissy feeling like she’s unfairly being canceled or victimized.
Whitney Collings — one of the early members of TV’s “Bad Girls Club” — died from a toxic mix of booze and hard drugs … including fentanyl and cocaine.
According to her death certificate, obtained by TMZ, Whitney’s immediate cause of death was acute intoxication by the combined effects of fentanyl, cocaine, alcohol and clonazepam … which is a prescription medication used to prevent/control seizures and prevent panic attacks.
Whitney died at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital in Boston. The manner of death is listed as accidental and she was buried in Peabody, MA on December 10.
Interesting side note: Her occupation is listed as sales in the cannabis industry. Recreational weed is legal in Massachusetts.
TMZ broke the story … Whitney died on December 3 at the age of 33. Her mother revealed the news on Facebook, saying “I am completely broken and will never get over this. Life is so unfair. She was kind with a big heart.”
Whitney appeared as a 21-year-old in season 3 of ‘BGC’ back in 2008-09. She was known for being quite the firecracker, but also for her sense of humor.
Luenell has some pretty simple advice for Bill Cosby — just say “no” to a comeback standup comedy tour … unless, of course, he’s looking to end up back behind bars.
We got the comedian and actor at LAX, where she was adamant the best thing Cosby can do with his newfound freedom is to enjoy it … quietly, at home. She says the alternative is taking the O.J. Simpsonroute.
Remember, 13 years after his stunning acquittal on double murder charges … Simpson got pinched for armed robbery of sports memorabilia in Las Vegas, and ended up doing 9 years in prison.

Luenell’s theory is … Cosby should learn from Simpson, and simply “go somewhere and sit down.” She doesn’t spell it out, but the insinuation seems to be Cosby’s gonna get himself in big trouble again if he insists on touring — especially because she expects he’ll be facing lots of protesters wherever he goes.
TMZ broke the story … following his release from prison last month, Cosby’s been plotting a tour and his camp says several promoters and comedy clubs are interested, with the exception of NYC’s famed Comedy Cellar.
As for the picketers who’ll almost certainly be waiting for him on the road — Luenell throws a jab at Cosby you gotta see.
Serena Williams is eyeing a return to the tennis court in just a couple weeks … so says her agent, Jill Smoller, who tells TMZ Sports the star is hoping to shake off her leg injury in time for the U.S. Open.
You’ll recall … Serena crumpled in pain at Wimbledon during her first-round match on June 29, and things did NOT look good for the 39-year-old.

She yelped as she hit the grass … and broke down in tears as she left the court — leaving many to wonder if she could possibly be done for the rest of the year.
But, when we got Smoller out in Los Angeles this week … she told us Williams’ recovery process is going well.
“She’s doing great,” Smoller said.
In fact, Smoller told us the hope is for Serena to be ready to go when the U.S. Open kicks off in New York on Aug. 30.
As for Serena’s injury, it’s unclear what’s exactly wrong with the leg … but Smoller said Williams is “just doing rehab” on it at the moment.
Before this telephone tot was a leading lady in numerous film and television shows, she was just another cute kid making calls in Los Angeles, California.
This smiling sweetheart may have gotten her start on a sweet Disney series, but now she is winning awards for her indie roles at multiple festivals — such as the Dallas International Film Festival. She has starred in comedies alongside Bryan Cranston and Woody Harrelson, but has also shown off her talents in dramas as well.
Recently, she was featured as the love interest Justin Bieber‘s new music video.
Sources tell HollywoodLife that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are in ‘good shape’ despite the video drama.
No drama here: Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are in “good shape” after fans misinterpreted the context of a viral video of the two in Vegas over the weekend. A few days ago, a fan shared a clip of the boisterous “Peaches” singer, 27, after a show in the Wynn resort seemingly “yelling” at his wife, 24. Hailey issued a message shortly after that seemingly shut down the reports — and now, sources close to the couple have confirmed to HollywoodLife that everything is just peachy.

“Justin and Haileyareinlove and they completely support each other in all that they do,” a source told HL exclusively. “They arein a typical relationship that just happens to have everyone’s eyeballs on them. That could easily cause stress, but they don’t let outside noise ruin what they have as a couple.” Adding that “there was no drama whatsoever,” the source added: “People shouldn’t have any worries about their relationship as it is completely in good shape.”
A fan had theorized that the singer was riding high on “adrenaline” following his performance with Diplo, thus giving the illusion that he was “yelling” at his wife. A source close to the singer echoed this theory. “He had a separate concert at Encore and then went to XS [Nightclub] and did a surprise performance with Diplo [after],” the insider told HL. “I think the video that went viral was pure adrenaline after his performance.”
Hailey did not seem amused by the allegations of yelling. The model appeared to address the debacle on Instagram Story on July 14, penning a message about “negative bullshit” alongside a blurry pic of her kissing her husband from the trip. “Reminiscing on how amazing last weekend was,” Hailey wrote. “Had the best time surrounded by so much love. Any other narrative floating around is beyond false. Don’t feed into the negative bullshit peeps.”
In any case, the two had a “blast” in Sin City. The duo enjoyed the nightlife and gambled a bit on top of attending the UFC 264 fight. “Justin had a blast in Vegas and it felt incredible to put on that many shows in such a short time frame,” our source said. “He was surrounded by his closest friends, and of course having his wife Hailey there meant the world.”
Courteney Cox and Coco played a game of ‘Who Knows Who Best’ where the hilarious ‘Friends’ related question came up.
Courteney Cox, 57, put her daughter CocoArquette in the hot seat! The Friends star and her 17-year-old played a game of “Who Knows Who Best” via Instagram, where one burning “bonus” question came up: “Would you rather have a date with young Joey or young Chandler?” The question, of course, referred to the fictional friends characters played by Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry, respectively.
Courteney — who played Monica Gellar on the series for a decade — guessed that Coco would probably go with the lovable but dimwitted Joey. “Correct,” Coco replied to her mom with a nod. Of course, Court’s on-screen love interest was Matthew’s character Chandler: Monica and Chandler’s friendship took a romantic turn after Ross’ wedding in season four, with the pair eventually marrying in season 7.
In the hilarious video, the mother-daughter duo tackled a slew of topics — including their favorite crunchy snacks, meal, and pet peeves. Coco confessed her go-to “crunchy” snack is Fritos, before noting that her mom’s fave meal is steak and broccoli. Coco’s? “I’m going to say is…well, you eat pasta every day but I’m going to say sushi,” Courteney added. “Correct,” Coco answered back, pointing out her mama also loves a bowl of pasta.

The ladies also got real when it came to their favorite qualities. “What’s your favorite quality in a person?” Courteney asked, as Coco replied it was “sense of humor” and “communication.” Courteney added that hers is honesty. “So your favorite quality in a person is letting you know where you stand — communication,” Court explained. It turns out Courteney also prefers savoury to sweet snacks, per the video.
Towards the end, it turned out that mom knows best: “Apparently I know Coco more than she knows me!” the Birmingham native said as a score flashed up, revealing that Courteney only one by one point. “That’s not true!” Coco argued back.
“Who knows who best?” the Friends star wrote in her caption. “Here’s to another great season of @9MonthswithCourteneyCox! To celebrate, Coco and I thought we’d play who knows who best. Check out the season finale tomorrow on @FacebookWatch,” she added.
Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews shared a post-meal smooch! See the pic.
Patrick Mahomes and fiancée Brittany Matthews prefer to finish their meals with a kiss. The former soccer player, 25, shared a new Instagram post with her NFL player beau, 25, on Instagram on Thursday, July 15. The new parents are all smiles in the first slide — and share a passionate kiss in the next. Brittany captioned the post: “Mine,” with a pink heart emoji.
The two were also joined by Patrick’s brother Jackson Mahomes, who shared a snapshot with his sibling and soon-to-be sister-in-law on his Instagram a few days ago. The social media star, 21, simply captioned the post, “Hiiii how are ya?”
Patrick and Brittany welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Sterling Skye, in February. Brittany announced her daughter’s arrival with an Instagram photo of a close-up of Sterling’s little hands; in the pic, the new mom wore a necklace with the name “Sterling,” confirming the baby’s moniker. Following the arrival of their bundle of joy, Brittany and Patrick also celebrated a major milestone: their 9th anniversary. Brittany commemorated the occasion with an Instagram photo of the two and wrote: “9 Years with my Favorite Human” and “I Love You Lots!!”
The high school sweethearts have been engaged since September 2020. In March, Brittany hinted that the big day would be approaching soon, but did not divulge much information except that it would be sometime in 2022. There’s a good chance the date may be sometime in March. Per TMZ, the couple recently gifted their wedding party some very luxurious items, including a Cartier bracelet and Rolex watch. Jackson chronicled the gifts on social media — and seemingly confirmed a March date.
Along with the Rolex and other goods, the gift box came with a note that read: “The time has come to help me with the task… be my groomsman for the wedding weekend with help from this flask! Drink up and let me remind in March, set your Rolex to island time!” Could an island wedding in March 2022 be on the horizon? That would certainly be something to smooch about.
Ready to take a walk on the ‘wild side’ with Normani and Cardi B? Not only did they get naked in their new music video, but Normani sampled Aaliyah on the new track.
It’s been a month since the sunny season began, but Normaniand Cardi B may have dropped the song of the summer. After surprising fans by announcing “Wild Side,” Normani unleashed her song, featuring the “WAP” rapper and an Aaliyah sample, on Friday July 16, along with a glamorous — and oh so sexy — video. Watch it above.
“The world is ready for Normani supremacy!!!!” tweeted Cardi on Wednesday (July 14), shortly after she and Normani unveiled the single’s cover art. “okay sooooo I just watched the video again [Flushed face emoji] sis what the actual f-ck,” Normani tweeted in response to Cardi, who told Normani, “Ommmmgggg I’m nervous!!!!! But then again I’m not YOU DID THAT!!!!!!! I hope and you better be proud of yourself!!”
The new video marks the best of both worlds, as it’s directed by Tanu Munio (who recently directed Cardi’s “Up” video) and features choreography by Sean Bankhead, the brilliant choreographer behind Normami’s “Motivation” visual. “I had already been in rehearsal for about three weeks preparing the video when Cardi heard the record for the first time,” said Normani in a press release. “She really showed up for me and brought this record to life by simply doing what Cardi does best. I love that woman down and I’m forever grateful.”

Fans will be grateful for Normani, as she promises more music is on the way – and her followers are patiently awaiting her highly-anticipated debut solo album. Since Fifth Harmony went on hiatus in Spring 2018, Normani has made a name for herself with a handful of hit singles, including: the 5-time Platinum-certified “Love Lies” with Khalid; “Waves” with 6lack; and the platinum-selling “Motivation.” She’s also teamed up with Sam Smith for the massive hit, “Dancing with a Stranger,” and collaborated with Megan Thee Stallion for “Diamonds,” the lead single from the Birds of Prey soundtrack. Normani has also worked with Calvin Harris on the Normani x Calvin Harris project and jumped on “Bad to You,” an Ariana Grande–Nicki Minaj collab for the soundtrack of 2019’s Charlie’s Angels.

Though this isn’t the first time that Cardi and Normani worked together — Normani had a featured cameo in the “WAP” music video — this song does mark Cardi’s first featured spot since 2020’s “Me Gusta,” where she joined Myke Towers to give Anitta’s single some extra oomph. Surprisingly, this wasn’t the only announcement Cardi had this week. “The fact that I’ve got another secret to tell you all tomorrow,” she said after sharing the “Wild Side” artwork, before laughing. “I got another secret to tell you! But, in the meantime, make sure that you guys are getting ready for that Normani record, and my Reeboks!” Fans are also waiting for Cardi’s follow-up to Invasion of Privacy, but with the pregnant Ms. Almánzar revealing she’s got a different kind of “release” on the way, fans might have to hold out for a little longer.
Newlyweds Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani surprised patrons at a bar in Oklahoma! Watch the performance.
Newlyweds Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani graced locals with a free concert at a bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma on Thursday, July 15. The country singer, 45, rehearsed for some upcoming shows at the Ole Red, the restaurant and retail space he owns that also has locations in Tennessee and Florida. His new wife, 51, joined him on Thursday, giving the local patrons a harmonious country treat.
Blake invited patrons to the rehearsal on Twitter early Thursday morning, encouraging fans to swing by if they were bored. “Come on out and get yourself a drink if you’re bored,” the country crooner tweeted. “I repeat it’s only a rehearsal… It may not be good but at least it’s free!”
I’ve got some shows coming up soon so I’m gonna be rehearsing today around 4 CT at @OleRed’s The Doghouse in Tishomingo. Come on out and get yourself a drink if you’re bored. I repeat it’s only a rehearsal… It may not be good but at least it’s free!
Blake similarly surprised patrons at the Ole Red locations in Nashville and Orlando in April. He stopped by the locations for surprise mini concerts ahead of attending the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards on April 24. Ole Red shared the surprise on their official Instagram account, writing, “Yeah, that really happened. Cheers to the boss man @blakeshelton surprising folks in Orlando and Nashville, then performing last night at the @acmawards to top it off!”
Of course, the Oklahoma rehearsal marked the first public surprise since Blake and Gwen tied the knot on July 3 after nearly six years together. The duo exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony officiated by close friend Carson Daly on their 1,500-acre Oklahoma ranch. The bride wore a white tulle dress and veil — adorned with the names of Blake and Gwen’s children Kingston, 15, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 7, sewn on — by designer Vera Wang.
Gwen shared snapshots of the happy day on her Instagram on July 5, writing that “dreams do come true” in the caption. The nuptials mark Gwen’s second marriage; she was married to Gavin Rossdale between 2002 and 2016, and they share children Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo together. Blake was previously married to country singer Miranda Lambert and high school sweetheart Kaynette Williams. Gwen and Blake met as coaches on the NBC competition show The Voice.
