But even IF her 6-year-old son actually said or did these things, as Mrs. 'Princessa Caraboo' Baldwin has claimed, the fault doesn't lie with that small child but in how he's been RAISED and what kinds of examples he's  had to drawn from the so-called adults in his life.

Agree 100%! I really don't think he's the one doing this, but if he is, his parents need to be getting him some help, not posting it like it's some cute Leave it to Beaver stunt. I'm not sure I can find it, but the stuff she claimed he was writing about his self-esteem actually bothered me more than the profanity because it seemed like something you'd write in the throes of depression.

She posts a lot of things as stories, so they disappear. It was happening a lot in November. It's her son Rafael who is 6. She will post pictures of him next to profanity she claims he scrawled (like, and I quote, "Fuck ya poop" on the family car) or notes she claims he wrote in which he says he's worthless. The cunt thinks it's funny? A lot of it looks like an adult wrote it. But either way, the whole thing is very disturbing. I am pretty sure she has a diagnosable personality disorder.

What a sick motherf****r!  No wonder she & Alec get along so well. As someone else already said, I feel sorry for the kids who (if it's true what she says) receive zero discipline. Not funny at all, Hilary.

And to think, before this got brought up re Mrs. 'Princessa Caraboo' Baldwin,( in spite of her zillions of affectations,  pretensions, attention-craving,etc.), I actually had given the benefit of the doubt that she was the more reasonable,supportive and nurturing parent of the pair- inasmuch as one can have a trainwreck love life, career,etc. but STILL be a dedicated and committed  parent (see the late Elizabeth Taylor). Alas, even THAT vestige of positivity appears to have been for naught.

Yeah I mainly was just like "Who is this annoying yoga chick--oh she's married to Alec Baldwin? WTF? Whatever." And I had that moment a few times a year for a few years. LOL

[DearEvette]

Word on the street ( and by "street" I mean "twitter") is that Lisa Bonet and Jason Momoa are back together and working on their marriage.

So far it seems the reports are all coming from gossip mags and blogs and not officially from them... but I hope it is true.  I liked them as a couple.

[Zella]

Good for them! I'm also so glad they won't have to fight for custody of Lenny Kravitz! 

[Prairie Rose]

That's great to hear, especially after the news of Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor last week reconciling their own marriage. God bless them!! 💖💕

He didn't say. He just said at one point he was arrested but all was well. Maybe they thought he was an Ukrainian citizen trying to leave the country, and it got sorted out when he showed them his U.S. passport?

[MaggieG]

At this point, Pete needs to get a restraining order. And I hope he stays healthy and has support because he has his own mental health issues and all this harassments and threats would be scary even for the average person. Kanye is just off the damn rails.

Yes, he might be barely sane enough not to commit murder but I don't think he would hesitate to kill her dogs if only to "make a point" that he can. he is not stable. Everyone she cares about should get restraining orders at this point.

I, sadly, agree with all the precautions Miss Kardasian and everyone connected to her may need to take re her estranged spouse the Formal/Former Mr. West that everyone here has listed.

I'd just like to add that I hope he has a lawyer spelling out to him EXACTLY what legal consequences could befall him if he makes too many explicit threats of violence- and, especially if he attempts to carry any of them out and/or pays anyone to do so!

I don't think Kanye lacks for attorneys explaining this stuff to him. There were several times a couple of weeks ago where it almost seemed like someone was literally wrestling his phone from him because something normal and conciliatory would be posted and the demented stuff would be deleted and then suddenly there'd be a spree of his ravings before it would be wiped and something normalish would be posted. I think Kanye's biggest problem is he doesn't give a shit, so everyone in the world screaming at him isn't going to make a difference. That being said, he really needs to be slapped with a restraining order and this really should affect the custody of the kids, IMO. If I were Kim, I would not want my children near him unsupervised.

Kanye fired his THIRD lawyer a day or two before they were going to court, he's on his 4th right now. Apparently the previous three all had trouble communicating with him, he would just ignore their messages.

[merylinkid]

Lawyers can only advise their clients.   What the client actually does is up to that person.   Sadly lawyers cannot make their clients DO anything.    If Kanye doesn't want to listen, all the lawyers can do is put in writing what they told him.   

This will most definitely affect custody.   You don't get to rant and rave about your ex and make threats -- even under the guise of "creative expression" -- and not have it affect custody.   Judges can pretty much use anything they want to determine the "best interest" of the children.   And being around someone who refuses to follow the treatment for their medical condition is not in their best interest.   Even supervised time might not be in their best interest.

I never watched Modern Family, so I know absolutely nothing about Sarah Hyland. I usually avoid clickbait, but this article about her filming while awaiting a kidney transplant is interesting and rather distressing. Poor kid (I am more than old enough to consider her a kid).

I don't even think it's that Kanye doesn't give a shit. I think he actively enjoys ignoring others and doing whatever he wants. He likes trolling people. He likes the attention. He likes feeling like he's better than everyone else. It's really disturbing to watch.

The Formal/Former Mr. West seems not unlike folks who randomly shout out the most profane insults possible while driving by coffeehouses, public parks,etc. then speed away ASAP. IOW, they enjoy deliberately discomforting and upsetting others who can't/won't fight back and want ZERO consequences for behavior that they know is wrong and unacceptable  . And I'll bet any attempts at consequences being meted would   get all the above to throw themselves loud  pity parties re being 'persecuted' and having their 'rights' being 'endangered' despite the fact that they couldn't care less about any of the above for those they deliberately harass.   Of course, the question I have is what proportion of his onetime fans have gotten turned off/revolted by this- regardless of how much they may have liked his music.

Agree with all the above about Kanye. I know he struggles with mental health. I know he can be provocative. But this recent stunt is so disturbing. He needs help more than ever. I hope the Kardashians and Pete stay safe.

What sickens me is despite all this, there are STILL some people defending him. At this point I shouldn’t be surprised by that, given all the times R Kelly got a pass and how people lionize Kobe Bryant. The sad fact is Kanye is a completely overrated malignant narcissist and his behavior to Kim and Pete is a serious red flag.

I would chalk this up to Kim being unlikeable, problematic, fill-in-the-blank adjective, but then I remember the women who defended Chris Brown after what he did to Rhianna.  Misogyny is a hell of drug.

[Blergh]

Then there are  folks who have NEVER learned to have admitted to themselves that they  could have been wrong about ANYone and would rather hold onto their false pride and dig themselves into pits too deep to emerge from up to and including the cost of their souls.  I think at least some of the Formal/Former Mr. West's most barnacle 'fans'likely fit in that category.

Wow, I remember reading about her having a kidney transplant early in Modern Family's run, with her dad as the donor, but I didn't know she'd had more than a dozen other surgeries in her life (her kidneys never developed properly in the womb, so she was born with kidney problems), nor had I ever come across all that happened after that transplant -- her body rejected it so it had to be removed and she was on dialysis, through the health screening process of other possible donors in her family it was discovered her mom had breast cancer, Sarah felt suicidal, she had her second transplant with her brother as the donor this time, and she's been stable, but her immunocompromised state and the pandemic are obviously not a good match so she hasn't left the house "in a very long time".

She, and her whole family, have really been through it.

I'd never thought I'd say this but Ireland lucked out that she had a normal parent in Kim. She seems remarkably well-adjusted given her upbringing as the child of two stars who had a very nasty public divorce and I'm guessing it's more on Kim that she is.

Oh god though, what happens when Hilaria decides that it's time that her kiddies become stars? Alec doesn't have the pull that Will and Jada Smith had to force their offspring on us but I'm sure he can try. LOL

I’m not sure what to make of this allegation by Marisa Tomei. She claims she never got paid for staring in a movie she did in 2020 with Pete Davidson.  I suppose it was his project and his people would have paid her.  In response, one of Pete’s people says that Marisa was paid one million dollars up front.  Hmmmmmm……how would that be forgotten?  What’s going on?

Page Six and others are somewhat distorting what she said. She did an interview where she was asked about Davidson. She commented that she had spoken to him just that day because she realized she hadn’t been paid and she wanted to see if he had. The thinking she hadn’t been paid aspect was something mentioned in passing and she never mentioned the resolution while she went on to praise Davidson. It was a somewhat weird statement but it really wasn’t an accusation.

She later clarified in a statement to People, “Of course, I got paid for the work I did. I didn't forget to simply open my mailbox. There are a lot of arcane contractual details I will spare you, but that's what I was referring to.”

I actually read the Rolling Stone interview before I saw the stories focusing on that part so my opinion comes from that perspective. Yes, Page Six did quote her correctly but, in my opinion, they put an inaccurate spin on the story that was not consistent with my feeling when I read the full interview. It was a bizarre but a much more offhand comment then it is being made out to be. It definitely raises valid questions but most are turning it in to some kind of gotcha moment which is what I am objecting to. She could have been more careful with what she said but it is also the type of casual comment that is often edited out of an interview. I really question why the interviewer put it in without asking for more clarification.  I am very tired of a repeated pattern of irresponsible journalism that takes one brief moment in a much longer interview and spins it into dramatic headlines. 

She has already clarified what she meant. It sounds like she was talking about something along the lines of backend compensation. It is irritating seeing her being made out to be confused or stupid by the media.

Page Six is notorious for getting things wrong.

Hilaria Baldwin taking a break from social media.  She says it's to spend more time with her family, but I bet Alec's lawyers told her to stop posting.

[Zella]

A few hours after she posted about her break, she posted some more bullshit in a story that she claimed was from the son she's always picking on and then it was deleted. Maybe their lawyers are having the same phone battle that Kanye's lawyers have been having with him.

Where's Children's Services and why aren't they at least investigating whether she's causing her son harm behind the scenes if Mrs. 'Princessa Caraboo' Baldwin is so intent on meting  these constant public humiliations? I'm serious!

I don't know how 'normal' Miss Bassinger was as a parent but Miss Bassinger has  always seemed downright painfully shy appearing in public (despite being rather prominent in the entertainment industry for a long time) so I imagine that she did all she could to protect her only child from the spotlight from birth onwards. Alas, the 2nd Mrs. Baldwin is a spotlight hogging showboat  not above publicly bullying at least one child so I don't see Mr. Baldwin's younger children being as lucky as their eldest half-sib was.

Well, she DID marry Justin Bieber.  That kinda guarantees media coverage.  It's lasted almost 4 years and she's dropped the Baldwin name professionally.  Most models keep their professional names if it gets them more attention, but obviously Bieber is more recognizable.  She started modeling before that of course, but the the name Baldwin isn't that distinctive.  I'm sure somebody in her family got her first jobs for her. 

Stella McCartney has been married almost 20 years, but still uses her much-more-recognizable-father's-name than her married name of Willis.

Of course!  My point was that people that need exposure for their work will use the name that will garner more attention.  Hailey Bieber ditched Baldwin because it was obvious Bieber would make her more recognizable. 

And of course Stella would keep her family name, it's her brand.  She was born with it!

I'm actually a woman who did NOT take my husband's last name when we got married.  I kept my maiden name.  It was from my family, so it was mine.  I don't like the tradition of the woman "belonging" to the man, so she takes his name.  Hate it, in fact.  Our kids are hyphenated.  We actually flipped a coin on who's name was last.  I won.  *LOL*

My point was that it is generally a complex and personal decision and that I am uncomfortable assigning motivation to someone else’s decision. Maybe Hailey did it to get more attention, maybe she did it because she has a more traditional mindset in that area or maybe she did it because she wanted to distance herself from the Baldwin association since she has said that politics has torn them apart. Most likely it is a combination of many factors. 

My personal feeling on the subject is aligned with yours but I would still be inclined to change by last name because I don’t particularly like my last name.

So does keeping your father's last name mean you "belong" to him? ;)

I think there are many reasons one might want to change their name (or keep the one they were given at birth.) It's possible to not want to be connected to your father, and for that name to have painful associations for you. It's possible to prefer your husband's name, without any icky ownership implications.
