I?m sure I?ve talked about this before, but I really question the math and the calculating formula Forbes uses to compile most of their listicles. I?m reminded of that with Forbes? latest list of the ?highest paid actresses? in Hollywood. Forbes takes into account actresses? side-projects, like ad campaigns and endorsement deals? but only in some cases. Like, how is Jessica Alba not one of the ?highest paid actresses?? Because girl is making serious money off The Honest Company, but she?s just not making money from acting? Same with Gwyneth Paltrow she?s getting rich off of selling organic snake oil to dumb rich women, but she?s not making money from acting anymore either. Neither Paltrow nor Alba made Forbes? list. No, Scarlett Johansson topped the list, mostly because of her Marvel contract. Which, again, I question why Forbes thinks ScarJo is making such major bank with Marvel. Marvel notoriously underpays their stars. Here?s the list:
Scarlett Johansson has topped Forbes? annual ranking of Hollywood?s highest-paid actresses, surpassing Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston who came in at number two and three, respectively. Emma Stone claimed the spot in 2017 with a cool $26 million, but Johansson ? who has a number of Marvel films under her belt ? brought in a huge $40.5 million this year, Forbes reported. Marvel?s Avengers films are certainly a big reason for the actress? earnings, with another film on the way which will feature Johansson?s Black Widow in 2019.
Johansson released two movies in 2017, Rough Night and Ghost in the Shell, for which she earned backlash for portraying a Japanese character. This year, the actress has starred in Isle of Dogs and Avengers: Infinity War.
The Avengers: Infinity War actress was followed closely by Jolie who came in at No. 2 with $28 million for the year. Behind Jolie is longtime fan favorite Aniston who earned $19.5 million, who made most of her earnings from lucrative deals with Emirates airlines, Smartwater and Aveeno, the magazine reported. Jennifer Lawrence comes in at No. 4, with Reese Witherspoon just behind her with $16.5 million from recent success in producing and starring in Big Little Lies. Others rounding out the list include Cate Blanchett ($12.5 million) and Wonder Woman?s Gal Gadot ($10 million).

Disney likely is paying Angelina big-time for Maleficent 2, plus she has endorsement deals, like her contract with Guerlain. Except she?s already said that the Guerlain money is going to charity, so again, I question these calculations. Out of this group, I suspect it?s Jennifer Aniston who has made the most money, and very little of it if from acting. Aniston has huge deals with SmartWater, Aveeno, Emirates and Living Proof. She?s getting backends from Living Proof and SmartWater. And on top of that, she?s flipping mansions for crazy profits. Also: how much is Dior paying Jennifer Lawrence, because I thought her Dior contract alone would put her at the top of the list? And how much did Scarlett get paid to be Asian in Ghost In the Shell? So many questions.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have been spending a lot of time in New York this summer. They were spotted in Manhattan a few days ago, on August 15th, which happened to be Joe?s 29th birthday. In most of the paparazzi photos from that day, Sophie and Joe just look normal like they?re pissed off at the paparazzi, for sure, but just going about their day. At one point, Sophie did look like she broke down in tears though:

Theres not much that can make me feel sorry for Bethenny Frankel, but this is one of those things. You know how Bethenny took out a restraining order against her ex husband, Jason Hoppy, and has called him an abusive threatening stalker? Well Bethenny shares custody of their four year old child, Bryn, with Jason. Bethennys on-off boyfriend, Dennis Shields, just passed away on Friday following an accidental opiate overdose. Its absolutely sad and tragic and you would think that a normal person would take it easy on their ex, say theyre sorry for their loss and ask if theres anything they can do. Only Jason used the death of Bethennys boyfriend as a tactic in their custody battle to question Bethennys fitness as a mother. (Apparently their court date was already scheduled.) Whats more is that Bethenny asked for an extra day with Bryn to talk to her about Denniss death and Jason said no! How vindictive is that? According to E! the judge encouraged them to work out custody outside of court but since thats not going to happen they were granted another trial:
Jasons attorney shared his condolences about the situation but said that it was reported that he died of an oxycodone overdose. Our concern is, while the death is very sad, it raises concerns about Ms. Frankels parental judgment, because Dennis cared for Bryn even when Bethenny wasnt around. What does it say about Ms. Frankels parenting that she would allow this person to care for her daughter? Its downright dangerous parenting.
Jasons attorney brought up a recent episode of RHONY where Bethenny appeared to be intoxicated, running around with no clothes on and saying she mixed Ambien and alcohol. The attorney stated, Our concern is whether Ms. Frankel might have some kind of substance abuse problem. They requested drug testing for Bethenny.
The judge then cited the evaluation, which stated that Brynn has two competent, loving parents. The judge then accused Jasons attorney of throwing grenades across the table.
Bethennys lawyer said none of their concerns about Dennis had ever been raised before. If Jasons team were truly concerned about Dennis, they would have brought it up sooner. They claim that earlier this week, Bethenny had asked for an extra day with Bryn to help explain what happened to Dennis and comfort her and that Jason said no. The Bravo stars attorney stated, We have no reason to believe he is going to co-parent. He is going to be on the attack as he always was.
Jasons attorney denied that he said no to Bethenny having the extra day but instead wanted to be involved in explaining the situation to Bryn, stating, He felt he had a right to be involved in the daughter dealing with it.
At the end of the court appearance, the judge said he will schedule a hearing but if both sides can reach a settlement before then, the judge would encourage that.
[From E! Online]
I understand the drug test request for Bethenny given her storyline on RHONY, but the fact that Jasons lawyer brought up her boyfriends death as somehow indicating shes a bad mom is just despicable. And of course Jason wanted to be the one to explain it to Bryn because he cant let Bethenny have even this one thing. Hes despicable and although I believed her side before I have much more sympathy for her. It doesnt matter if you dont get along with an ex, thats a situation where you see their perspective, but Jason is trying to use the death of Bethennys boyfriend to his advantage. That speaks volumes about him.

Has enough time passed to properly mourn the death of KourtnYou so we can discuss it? I mean, everyone none of us could have predicted Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima wouldnt last, but alas, they didnt. Now they want us to talk about their split, which I guess is our punishment for not caring enough to talk about them when they were together. So here?s the latest: Kourtney is not messing around. She dumped Younes when he became a drag and she?s not looking back. And all that?s fine, I could sign off on this story if that was the end of it. But it?s not the reason she?s deleted Younes from her phone is because she?s not one to deal with ?drama.?
Kourtney Kardashian isn?t looking to make the same mistake twice.
After breaking up with boyfriend Younes Bendjima earlier this month, a source tells PEOPLE that Kardashian, 39, has cut off contact with her former beau.
?Kourtney is doing great,? the source says. ?She isn?t seeing Younes. She is happy being single for now.?
And after a tumultuous nine-year relationship with ex Scott Disick, Kardashian exactly knew when it was time to call it quits with Bendjima, the source says.
?After all the drama with Scott over the years, she wasn?t going put up with any drama from Younes,? the source says. ?She cut him off. She is focused on her kids and herself.?
?Kourtney doesn?t play games. She seems okay with [the breakup],? the source added. ?Younes was always supposed to be a rebound.?
[From People]
Drama is all this family puts up with. They can take the most mundane issue and blow it up, resulting in #teams and silent treatments. Even this story is trying to incite some drama by claiming to be drama-free. As we know, Younes was caught canoodling in Mexico with a mystery lady. But Younes said he wasn?t cheating because he and Kourt were already done. Kourt?s camp claimed that they weren?t done, but the relationship was having trouble ever since they returned from their latest European vacation so they?d cooled off. But now they?re done because he?s a big cheater and, I guess, because she said so. This reads a little drama-ey to me, but maybe that means that Kourtney is finally doing her job.
And I understand the ?not making the same mistake twice? point, but her relationships with Scott and Younes are not equitable. As mentioned, Younes was a rebound that proved mutually advantageous for both so it lasted longer than anyone expected (the couple included). Scott and Kourtney share three children and a lucrative contract for their reality show. He was never going to disappear from her life.
As for what the future holds for Kourtney and Scott?s love life, it depends on who you ask. Kourtney maintains that she will never get back together with Scott. Scott, on the other hand, supposedly has on/off girlfriend, Sofia Richie, strapped to the ejection seat to make room for Kourt if she deigns to take him back. I don?t have a bet on this race but my guess is that Scott and Kourtney will commence their ?will they? or won?t they?? dance for the cameras but ultimately, won?t.

I hope you guys know that I?m going to use these dumb neon-wig photos of Kim Kardashian for the next few months. She is so? tacky. My God. Kim has been in Miami with Foodgod Cheban or whatever his name is, plus some other friends and whatever. I assume the Miami trip is part of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, especially since she?s been really extra about getting pap?d during this trip. Kim was out last night at Prime One Twelve restaurant with Foodgod and Larsa Pippen.
According to Backgrid, the photo agency, Kim ?arrived in a white Ferreri and was seen leaving in a green Lamborghini?? As in, she wanted a neon lime Lambo to perfectly coordinate with her neon wig. Because doesn?t everyone do that when they go out to dinner? Apparently, Kim did bring her kids on this Miami trip, as they were seen on a yacht together earlier in the day. Where?s Kanye? Do I even want to know?
Beyond the wig, I do think Kim?s weight loss looks good. Again, I?m not going to analyze it I just assume her slimmed-down figure is a product of diet, exercise and surgery. Her face looks like CGI though.

For those of you who don?t believe in love at first sight, Kelly Ripa has a little story for you one that just might change your mind. The 47-year-old host of Live with Kelly and Ryan sat down for an interview with Bruce Bozzi for SiriusXM. During the interview, Kelly recalled the first time she saw her spouse of 22 years, actor Mark Consuelos. She revealed that ?I saw my husband in a photograph before I saw him. I knew when I saw his photograph.?
Back in the early 1990s, Kelly was an actress on All My Children, playing Hayley Vaughn, and was assisting the casting director with finding the actor to play her on-screen suitor, Mateo Santos. Apparently the casting process was proving difficult and the show had auditioned every Latino actor in the city and around the city and then California. And then all of a sudden, Judy Blye Wilson, who was the casting director at All My Children, said, ?I found him.?? She went on to explain:
?[Judy] showed me his picture and, Bruce, I?m not this person, at that point I was not a hopeless romantic. I never thought about getting married, it never occurred to me that I would grow old with someone. I just thought I would be living my single girl life in the city and sort of like moving. You know, if I needed to up and move to a location, I could do that. I had no responsibilities and I was earning a good living on this soap opera because I was there for almost seven years before Mark got there. ? I was a baby when I got the job.?
?When I saw him, the photograph of him, I saw my entire future with him flash before ? like I saw it,? said Ripa. ?And I don?t believe in any of that and now I do because of that moment.?
[From Lunch with Bruce via PEOPLE]
Obviously, Mark got the part, the couple romanced each other on and off screen and were wed in 1996. They now have three children ? sons Michael, 21, and Joaquin, 15, and daughter Lola, 17.
That?s quite a romantic yarn, isn?t it? With filters and catfishing, it would be hard for anyone in the online dating age to fall in love with a photograph. Ive had many first and last dates with men who had great photos, but didn?t match those with looks or personality. Fortunately, the last one looked just like his pictures, and I can only hope our relationship will be as strong as Kelly and Mark?s.
Feliz Aniversario lover! 22 years. You?re a human roller coaster that luckily I?m tall enough to ride. @instasuelos ?? ????????
