Khloe Kardashian Defends Kim’s Party
Khloe Kardashian says sister Kim Kardashian’s 40th birthday getaway was a “beautiful” experience. She responded to backlash on Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show after Kim surprised family and friends by taking them on a tropical vacation for her birthday. She came under fire this week after sharing photos from the lavish trip on social media. On Ellen, Khloe acknowledged people’s “frustrations” about the trip while so many are struggling. “I did hear that people were upset … This year is a frustrating year, I get it. I think there’s so many frustrations going on for everybody,” she said. “But also, it’s her 40th and this is something that she really wanted to do for us. It was such a nice thing.” Khloe said resort employees and locals were “grateful” for their business. In addition, Khloe said the group followed COVID-19 safety precautions and conducted themselves in “the safest way” possible.

Netflix Releases New Trailer For The Crown
Netflix is giving a glimpse of The Crown Season 4. They shared a trailer featuring Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II and Gillian Anderson as Margaret Thatcher. The preview shows the queen (Colman) and Thatcher come face to face during a sit-down meeting. The conversation hints at future tensions to come. “Your majesty. I think we have enough respect for one another personally to ask ourselves some of the bigger questions, woman to woman,” Thatcher says. “We are the same age, after all.” The trailer also teases Prince Charles’ (Josh O’Connor) romance and marriage with Princess Diana (Emma Corrin). As Diana adjusts to the spotlight, Princess Margaret (Helena Bonham Carter) warns that Diana “will break” if she does not bend to the confines of her new role. Netflix previously released a trailer centering on Charles and Diana. Tobias Menzies, who plays Prince Philip, said in an interview with Deadline in June that Charles and Diana will be a “big part” of Season 4. See it HERE.
*********Do we get to see Meghan slither onto the scene??
*******We’re hoping that the Queen and Margaret Thatcher have an arm wrestling contest!!!
*******Maybe we’ll finally figure out how Charles could pick Camilla over Di!!!
The Bachelorette In Chaos
ABC exec Rob Mills is pulling back the curtain of what really went down during Clare Crawley’s dramatic season of “The Bachelorette.” While discussing Tuesday’s episode on Nick Viall’s “Viall Files” podcast, Mills said it was when Crawley, 39, decided to keep a group date rose for herself that he knew this season of “The Bachelorette” would need to change, amid the hairstylist’s growing feelings for front-runner Dale Moss. “At the time, it was sort of controversial,” Mills said Tuesday. “This is when it was really like, ‘Oh my God, like we’ve really got to start thinking about this.’ When she didn’t give out that rose and just gave it to herself.” Viall then told Mills, “I felt like I saw that coming. It’s like, ‘Dale’s not on this date, I’m just not going to give a rose.’” “Right. That was it,” Mills stated. “That was when we started making the call.” In a preview for next week’s episode, Crawley’s much-buzzed-about exit is teased, with “Bachelor” alum Tayshia Adams allegedly swooping in as her replacement. On Tuesday night, Adams, 30, cleverly reacted to her “Bachelorette” debut by captioning an Instagram snap, “You rang…?!”
*********Clare is really sure about this, because she slept with all the other guys before she picked Dale!!
*****He’s kind of a dog!! That’s why they call him “Airedale!!”
******Does Dr. Fauci know about this show???
Brad Pitt Breaks Up With Married Woman
Brad Pitt and German model Nicole Poturalski have split, according to a source. The couple, who were first spotted together in August, are “totally over.” “It was never all that serious as it was cracked up to be,” the source added, noting the breakup happened “a while back.” They were believed to have met in Germany at the trendy restaurant, Borchard, owned by Poturalski’s husband Roland Mary. Poturalski and Mary — pictured together in Berlin this week — have an “open marriage,” a source says, leaving Mary to be “philosophical” about his young wife’s dalliance with Pitt. While Pitt is a father of six kids with ex-wife Jolie — Maddox, 19, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 12-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne — Poturalski is also has a 7-year-old son, Emil.
*******He could have been 1/3 of a “throuple!!!”
Whitney Houston Earns Another “Diamond”
The late Whitney Houston has earned her third diamond-certified album, becoming the first black artist to achieve the feat. Her 1987 sophomore album, “Whitney,” has reached diamond status, which is equivalent to selling 10 million albums. Her self-titled 1985 debut album and 1992’s “The Bodyguard” soundtrack were already diamond successes, selling 13 million and 18 million units, respectively. Garth Brooks holds the record for most diamond-certified albums, with nine. Others with three or more albums that have reached diamond status include The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Shania Twain and the Eagles. The RIAA awards diamond plaques to albums and singles that reach 10 times platinum status. That once was the equivalent of selling 10 million songs or albums, but has changed since 2016, when the RIAA began incorporating streaming from YouTube, Spotify and other digital music services.
********She was a princess for real!!
*******Is there a group called “Platinum??” They could claim that every album is a platinum album!!
******Come to think of it, Neil Diamond has the most diamond albums!!

Tyrant Tyra’s Missteps Make Her Want to Ditch “Dancing”-(National Enquirer)
Rattled Tyra Banks’ rocky start on “Dancing with the Stars” has the onetime supermodel looking for a way to waltz off the show, sources spilled. Tipsters dished the “America’s Next Top Model” mastermind is unpopular with the contestants and is bickering behind the scenes with producers-who now regret replacing longtime hosts Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews with the former catwalk queen! Sources claim Tyra is “terrible at taking any feedback or criticism,” and that producers are so frustrated they’d be happy to see her dance away from the show!
Chaka Cringes At Super Freak-(Globe)
It was a little slow dancin’-THAT’S IT! Queen of funk Chaka Khan is livid over rumors she got freaky and “almost had a baby” with late “Super Freak” singer Rick James. “Hell nah! I wouldn’t have touched that with your stuff,” scoffs the 67-year-old. Rick sang with her on her 1982 hit “Slow Dancin’” but she insists she doesn’t sleep around. “I was not that kind of woman ever. I may have had a couple of mercy situations, but I can actually remember-and count on two hands, without using all my fingers-how many men I’ve been with. And that’s a fact. I’m very particular.”
Valerie: Mourning ex-Husband Eddie-(Us Weekly)
It was the sweetest tribute an ex-wife could give. On Oct. 6, Valerie Bertinelli took to Instagram to express her profound sadness over the death of her former husband, rock legend Edie Van Halen, who passed away at age 65 after a long battle with throat cancer. “[Forty] years ago my life changed forever when I met you,” Bertinelli wrote alongside a black-and-white portrait of the couple and their son, Wolfgang, now 29. “I’m so grateful Wolfie and I were able to hold you in your last moments,” she continued. “I will see you in our next life my love.” Says the source, “Eddie was Valerie’s first love, and she wouldn’t trade a minute of their time together.”
Tobey: Pressured To Propose-(Star)
After more than two years of dating, Tobey Maguire’s girlfriend Tatiana Dieteman wants to make things official. But pals say the Great Gatsby actor 45, is wary of settling down following his split from ex-wife Jennifer Meyer, mom to his kids Ruby, 13, and Otis, 11. Now, Tobey and Tatiana, 27, are at odds over their future-and neither of them is backing down. “Tatiana feels it’s time for a commitment,” an insider says. “But Tobey likes things the way they are, easygoing and casual.” Instead of an ultimatum, dishes the source, the model would be better off compromising. “Tobey wants to work it out,” adds the source. “But if the only way is him giving her everything she wants, he’s not prepared to do that.”
Chris & Katherine’s First Fight-(Life & Style)
Conflict in Camelot! A source alleges the presidential election is putting a strain on Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger’s marriage. “They’re pretty compatible on most fronts,” says the source, “except for when it comes to politics.” Chris, 41, “prefers to keep his views to himself,” notes the source, whereas politics are a family affair for Katherine, 30. Dad Arnold is a former governor while mom Maria Shriver is a member of the Kennedy dynasty. “She says it’s her civic duty to be vocal,” shares the source.
Zac Efron & Vanessa Valladares: Getting Serious-(People)
The actor and his Australian girlfriend celebrated his 33rd birthday on Oct. 18 in Byron Bay, Australia. “Their relationship is very serious,” a source says of the pair, who met in June.
Last Laughs-(In Touch)
“Ed Sheeran’s manager confirms that Princess Beatrice accidentally slashed his face with a sword in 2016. Buckingham Palace had no comment. But give them some warning next time and they can figure out a way to blame it all on Meghan Markle.”-DListed’s Emily.
“A college student in the U.K. was rescued by firefighters after she became stuck in a dryer while under the influence of alcohol. Even worse: She shrunk.”-Amber Ruffin.
“They’re already rolling out new products for the holiday season. This one is a little odd: It’s half of a Christmas tree for people who don’t have room for a full-size tree. It’s like even Christmas trees don’t have the energy to get fully dressed in 2020.”-James Corden.
“With so much chaos happening right now, I worry today many Americans have forgotten to celebrate Mario Lopez’s birthday.”-Conan O’Brien.

Ghostbusters Record
An Ohio man achieved a Guinness World Record by collecting 1,221 unique pieces of memorabilia from the Ghostbusters franchise. Robert O’Connor of Elyria told Guinness officials he first saw the original Ghostbusters movie when he was only 4 years old, and wasn’t long before he started accumulating merchandise. “I started this collection for myself alone. I took something I love and built what I believe to be a great collection, and decided after all these years to share it with the world,” O’Connor said. His collection was certified as the world’s largest collection of Ghostbusters memorabilia this year when the official count stood at 1,221 pieces, but O’Connor said the collection is still growing. “I actively look on the Internet, local flea markets, local toy shops, and even on rare occurrences I’ll find something at a grocery store,” he said.

Kazakhstan Uses Borat Catchphrase
The tourism board of Kazakhstan is embracing the new Borat movie by using the character’s catchphrase, “Very nice,” in a series of campaign videos. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, the sequel to 2006’s Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, stars Sasha Baron Cohen as fictional Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev and takes numerous shots at the former Soviet country. The first movie was banned in Kazakhstan, where officials took issue with the depiction of the country as a hotbed of poverty, but the Kazakh tourism board appropriated the character’s catchphrase this time around for videos encouraging visitors to make up their own minds about the nation. The videos show tourists experiencing the country’s food, markets, cities and landscapes, and each video ends with a visitor exclaiming: “Wow, very nice!” See the video HERE.
*********We like the way they use face masks as male mono-kinis!!!
********One drawback: you still have to get there by donkey!!

Raccoon Invades School
A Texas high school shared security camera footage of teachers and an animal control officer chasing a loose raccoon through the halls. Trinity High School Principal Mike Harris shared security camera footage of the scene that unfolded at the Euless school when a raccoon made its way into the building. The video shows a group of seven teachers and an animal control officer chasing the raccoon through the empty hallways of the school for several moments. The raccoon eventually darts out of the building through an open door. The incident comes on the heels of two raccoons that made headlines earlier this month when security cameras at the Chase Bank branch in Redwood City recorded the masked intruders wandering around inside the closed facility. See the video HERE.
*********This is what happens when you leave the trash cans indoors!!
Woman Pretends To Be Prosecutor
A New Hampshire woman allegedly posed as a prosecutor and then falsified records related to drug and stalking charges filed against her, court documents say. Lisa Landon, of Littleton, used the state’s electronic system to drop the charges and submitted fake documents in three separate criminal cases last year, according to a review by the New Hampshire Union Leader. Landon’s plan to avoid jail went awry when a forensic examiner, who was supposed to perform a competency evaluation on her, noticed the charges were dropped. The examiner later contacted Hillsborough County prosecutors to confirm if the evaluation was still necessary, the indictment says. She is also accused of falsifying a judge’s decision to waive a filing fee in a lawsuit she filed against the county and faked an order in a child custody case involving her child and a family member.

A LIST FOR FRIDAY
The 30 Best Halloween Candies of All Time
Thrillist.com
- Airheads
This are basically less delicious, lighter Laffy Taffy, but without the sense of humor or sense of identity. Will I go out of my way to eat them? Probably not. Will I willingly get these sugary sheets stuck in my teeth when I find them in my trick-or-treating pillow case? Absolutely.
- Jolly Ranchers
If you got the long, rectangular, flat Jolly Ranchers all the time, these would rank way, way higher. As it were, you usually get a couple of the cylindrical ones, and they’ve generally either shed part of their wrapper or had it meld to the candy, leading me to believe that people who hand out Jolly Ranchers for Halloween keep them under a heat lamp beforehand just to be evil.
- Sour Patch Kids
The whole cannibalism angle is really fun, but at the end of the day these remind me of Swedish Fish rolled in sugar and sour stuff. They’d be better if they were exclusively the watermelon or peach flavors.
- Runts
The bananas get all the glory here, mostly because they’re the only ones that taste like what they look like. Though, honestly, I’ve never eaten a little pink heart, either, so maybe the flavor is extremely accurate.
- Blow Pops
The best of the lollipop options is a master shape shifter. Neither the gum nor the candy is particularly good. But get impatient and chew the thing up and you’ve got some sort of beautiful chemistry that happens between the broken glass-like candy and the soft gum.
- Whoppers
Nobody claims to love Whoppers. Yet they can’t stop once they’ve had one, probably because the weird textural transformation that happens when saliva hits the malt is the closest we can get to opening an old-school soda jerk in our mouths.
- Milk Duds
Jockeying with Now & Laters for the candy most likely to yank out a loose tooth, Milk Duds offer a big of reprieve from binge-eating, largely because the irresistible urge to dump a whole tiny box in your mouth means you’re going to be stuck chewing for at least five minutes. My jaw hurts already.
- Milky Way
Nobody ever requests a Milky Way, and typically these candy bars fight it out for bottom-of-the-bag dominance with 3 Musketeers (which you’ll definitely not see on this list) and hateful pennies. Like Caramello on a budget, Milky Ways are perfectly serviceable, and provide the sugar blast you need. Side note: Why doesn’t anyone ever hand out Caramellos?
- Laffy Taffy
Some extremely artificial fruit flavoring, a sore jaw, and a couple of wrapper jokes that you feel embarrassed for chuckling at (and that you suspect Dave Coulier either wrote or stole)? Bring it.
- Nerds
Nerds are just little sugar boogers with a slight hint of fruit flavor, but they sadly don’t come in flavor combo packs at Halloween. Dump random flavors in your mouth and hope for the best.
- Skittles
Skittles would be way higher on this list if I could forget that time I put a whole bag in my mouth and cut the insides of my cheeks on all the sugar shrapnel that exploded everywhere. On the other hand, getting Skittles directly into your bloodstream is kind of amazing.
- PayDay
Are PayDays kind of a grandpa candy? Yeah. Are they an underrated explosion of salty peanuts nougat, and caramel? Absolutely. Maybe grandpa was onto something. Or maybe this is why he lost his teeth prematurely. Either way: underrated.
- Haribo Gummies
There are more than two dozen variations on Haribo Gummies, but you’re probably not getting Dinosaurs or Frogs or whatever. You’re getting the Gold Bears. Which is cool, but there just aren’t enough in a fun-sized bag to make you forget about the wonders of Twin Snakes or Happy Cola.
- Junior Mints
A delicious reminder that your candy tastes are as outdated as your Soup Nazi costume.
- Twizzlers
The Swiss Army knife of candy, Twizzlers are not only delicious in their artificial strawberry glory, are also an excellent solution to drinking in a post-plastic straw era. They’re also excellent whips and work as ropes. MacGyver didn’t invent these. But at one point, I’m pretty sure he used them to siphon gas and suture a wound. But not in that order.
- Baby Ruth
Basically PayDays, but covered in chocolate and paired with the crushing disappointment you feel when the kids don’t understand your incessant Goonies references. But hey, keep trying. Nerd.
- M&M’s
If they were embedded in a cookie or something, they might be No. 1, but M&Ms are still pretty great on their own. Especially if they’re the peanut kind. Or the peanut butter kind. Or the pretzel kind, the brownie kind, the crispy or almond kind… actually, why don’t they make a little bag with all the different flavors inside? That would put it in contention for the top five. Take heed, Mars.
- Flavored Tootsie Rolls
Go ahead and call this a garbage take, preferably while pelting me with these, the absolute most underrated treat in the bag. These things seem to only exist during Halloween or in your grandma’s candy dish but, damn it, they offer the chance to do some great alchemy. Pop a vanilla and an orange in your mouth? Creamsicle. A lemon and a lime? Sprite candy. Eat them all at once? You’re a crazy person. We should hang out.
- Heath
The Heath bar makes you feel like a little British schoolboy with its toffee butteriness, and will make you look like one when your teeth eventually fall out from all the toffee you have lodged in your molars for weeks on end. It’s a small price to pay for a brittle little piece of perfection.
- Starbursts
Another in the pantheon of candy-based chemistry, Starbursts come in so many flavors, the permutations among flavor combinations are almost endless. Until you get a little pack with two lemons in it — a cruel twist of fate that happens all too often. Pink Starbursts are the best, but at least the other flavors aren’t too far off.
- Hershey’s Bars
The American classic is the best melt-in-your-mouth, no-frills candy in the bag. Toss in some almonds and you’ve got a beast. Toss in Cookies ‘n’ Creme and you’ll wonder what the hell you’re even eating. Save these for the eventual campfire s’mores you’ll be having this fall and winter.
- Reese’s Pieces
They have the same shape and same coating as M&M’s, and the peanut butter is somehow just better than M&M’s version. You no longer have to wonder what it would be like if they stuffed these in a Peanut Butter Cup, but that shouldn’t stop you from making a DIY version.
- Nestle Crunch
Finally something healthy. Rice puffs are healthy, right? Especially when they’re covered with Nestlé’s deliciously melty milk chocolate. If you let one sit in your mouth unchewed for long enough, it dissolves into a poor man’s Cocoa Krispies. This is a good thing.
- Mr. Goodbar
The snack so delicious that simply calling it Goodbar seemed like a sign of disrespect, Mr. is the king of the Hershey’s variety pack — a simple, peanutty bit of awesome that puts Krackel to shame.
- 100 Grand
Some kind soul decided to make a candy bar that tastes like a more caramel-laden cousin to Little Debbie’s unsung Star Crunch, and what did we do? We forgot about it. Relegated it to a bar more associated with buying overpriced candy during a Boy Scouts fundraising drive than the outstanding snack it truly is. 100 Grand deserved better.
- Butterfinger
It’s like somebody took a bunch of peanut butter, transformed it into the world’s thinnest toffee, and layered it underneath a blanket of chocolate. And when you bite it, the little flakes pop off and melt on your tongue like butter produced by a chocolate cow.
- KitKat
It’s the closest your Halloween bag’s gonna come to having a sandwich inside, and let’s be honest: milk chocolate and sugary wafers are way better than a tiny tuna on rye, especially after they’ve been sitting in a pillowcase for a few hours. Plus, the two-by-two snack-size KitKat acts as an adorable accessory for your Hacksaw Jim Duggan costume.
- Snickers
It’s easily the heartiest of all candy bars: nougat, caramel, nuts, and chocolate represent pretty much every food group. And this is one that’s hard to eat in a single bite, even when you’re going bite-size. It’s worth the effort nevertheless, and makes for a solid accessory for your Pissed-Off Betty White costume.
- Twix
The cookie crunch. The deliciously hard caramel. The ultra-silky chocolate. There are a lot of things to love about Twix (three, actually), but this thing’s even better in fun-size form. The ratios between the three main components are simply perfect, striking a balance that makes the intense sugar rush completely worth it.
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Not only is it the greatest candy out there, it’s also one of the greatest snacks, period, the perfect alchemy of peanut butter and chocolate. And it’s so, so versatile… especially at Halloween. Are you devouring the mini, with its jagged chocolate edges? The medium-cup, in all its one-biteable glory? Or the pumpkin, which serves as a vessel to get as much sugary peanut butter in your mouth as possible? It’s your lucky day: there’s no way to go wrong eating a Reese’s.
