Dorit could go to JAIL! CLINK!
Dorit Kemsley and her hubby P.K. are embroiled in a nasty lawsuit with their former Beverly Beach business partner who claims the couple owes him $1.2M on a business loan they never repaid.
The issue was raised on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion but Dorit explained it away by saying the two parties were in mediation and that "it's in the lawyers' hands."
Well apparently a settlement doesn't happen because the couple have been ordered to appear in court Sept. 5 with bank records and other information about their assets and if they don't, there judge could issue a warrant for their arrest!
Dorit also admitted on Bravo that she froze her own bank accounts -- which isn't a "thing," actually. Someone froze them for her! That means the supposed creditor, former business partner Nicos Kirzis, could collect on the couple's personal assets. That's some scary sh*t! Dorit ALSO admitted on the show that she will be selling her home and possibly moving closer to Kyle's neck of the woods. Well Kyle's got an amazing home -- Smokey Robinson's old estate -- but it's in the San Fernando Valley, were real estate's a bit cheaper than in tony Beverly Hills where Dorit and P.K. currently reside. In other words, Dorit's about to take a step DOWN ... and while some of the homes near Kyle are amazing, celeb-worth properties, others are pretty average. Not being stuck up, but they're not mansions. Which means the Beverly Beach owners may be downsizing in order to satisfy some debts.

Kanye West is an innovator, a disruptive designer, and maybe an artist with a social conscience. A recent report claims these dome-shaped buildings under construction on a piece of land he and wife Kim Kardashian own are prototypes for homeless housing. After all, Kimye live in LA County where despite Mayor Eric Garcetti's efforts, homelessness is a serious problem and only getting worse, unfortunately.
Apparently a source tells TMZ Kanye's "team are studying dwellings 'from every period of man's existence on earth'" and that the structures will "break the barriers that separate classes ... namely, the rich, the middle class and the poor."
Clearly, though, domes aren't the most efficient use of space and in a densely-developed city like LA, land is at a premium -- obviously homeless housing needs to be building UP -- the city doesn't have the luxury of spreading out single-family habitations on a single level in a camp-like setting. We need converted apartment buildings and hotels, as Garcetti's been trying to make happen. So are these futuristic domes REALLY Ye's attempt to house the homeless?
Since the Star Wars-concept designs are on the same property where Kanye's been holding his weekly Sunday Service worship, we think they're more likely buildings to accommodate church members rather than homeless. It's hot and dry in the hills of Calabasas and congregants need a place to get out of the sun, go to the bathroom, and maybe enjoy coffee and donuts after they praise the Lord. Doesn't that make sense?
And because we know you love to see it ... here's some aerial video of Kim and Kanye's CRAZY Calabasas estate in its FINALLY completed form ...

We didn't see this coming! Dancing With the Stars alum Julianne Hough tells Women's Health magazine that, despite being married to a man, husband Brooks Laich, she's "not straight." Okay ... Well, speak your truth, girl!
She says to the mag, "I [told him], ‘You know I’m not straight, right?’ And he was like, ‘I’m sorry, what?’ I was like, ‘I’m not. But I choose to be with you.’" She goes on, "I think there’s a safety with my husband now that I’m unpacking all of this, and there’s no fear of voicing things that I’ve been afraid to admit or that I’ve had shame or guilt about because of what I’ve been told or how I was raised."
The couple were married last July so they've had a year to get into their marriage and Julianne explained the process -- and the process of her own personal growth at the same time: "I was connecting to the woman inside that doesn’t need anything, versus the little girl that looked to him to protect me,†she explained. “I was like, ‘Is he going to love this version of me?’ But the more I dropped into my most authentic self, the more attracted he was to me. Now we have a more intimate relationship."
Hough doesn't go into more details about not being "straight." Has she dated women in the past? Does she consider herself to be bisexual? Is she comfortable never expressing that side of herself again? We have a feeling her next interview is going to delve deeper!

She's becoming ON OF THEM! Sofia Richie has worked hard the past year to integrate into the KarJenner clan and be accepted by the whole family. The 20-year-old has been dating Kourtney Kardashian's ex Scott Disick for two years -- that's like seven years in Hollywood time -- and she's gotten the okay from Kourt to hang with the former couple's three kids; she's invited to Kris' annual Christmas party; and recently she went on Kylie Jenner's girls' trip to Turks and Caicos. How much closer can you get?!
Well in addition to all that, she's gotten her lips plumped, her boobs done, and her nails are longer now -- all in an effort to basically morph into a Kardashian because, well, imitation is the highest form of flattery and the Kardashians love their minions to be copycats!
In fact, Kylie loves it so much she's make Sofia her official new BFF, according to a DailyMail report. After the ladies went on the Kylie Skin summer vacay together, they're inseparable and forever bonded, according to the rag's sources. After Kylie dumped Jordyn Woods following the cheating scandal with Tristan Thompson, she was on the lookout for a replacement ride-or-die and it seems Sofia fits the bill: "Sofia really helped Kylie through the emotional roller coaster during the Jordyn situation. She was really there for her and took her side through everything. The situation with Jordyn made them closer," says the source.
And since the fellow youngin' has so much experience with kids (Scott's), Kylie trusts Richie with her daughter Stormi: "Kylie also trusts Sofia around Stormi, which is very important to her. Sofia has been around since Stormi was born and Kylie feels comfortable with having her around her child after getting to know her better. They have now formed an irreplaceable bond."
These two have been spending lots of quality time together: "Kylie loves how fun Sofia is and has been inviting her over to her house more often to hang just the two of them. They love staying home and watching movies and cooking together while hanging with Stormi. Kylie knows whenever she wants a girls' night out on the town, she can always count on Sofia for a good time."

Horrors! Billie Eilish is gonna have to give up her signature neon green talons, apparently. The singer posted that one of her nails was ripped off, thereby damaging her own nail underneath and leaving it bloody! Yuck!
But okay, the real story is that Billie gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine and talked about her depression and anxiety and the body dysmorphia she suffered in her earlier teen years. She explains she ruptured the plate in her hip -- in an advanced hip-hop dance class -- when she was 13. It sent her spiraling into depression, but no one noticed: "It sent me down a hole. I went through a whole self-harming phase — we don’t have to go into it. But the gist of it was, I felt like I deserved to be in pain ... When anyone else thinks about Billie Eilish at 14, they think of all the good things that happened. But all I can think of is how miserable I was. How completely distraught and confused. Thirteen to 16 was pretty rough."
She's feeling better these days, though: "I haven’t been depressed in a minute, which is great,†she says. “Seventeen has probably been the best year of my life. I’ve liked 17 ... Sometimes I see girls at my shows with scars on their arms, and it breaks my heart. I don’t have scars anymore because it was so long ago. But I’ve said to a couple of them, ‘Just be nice to yourself.’ Because I know. I was there." Preach, girl!

We KNEW this was gonna be a problem! Mario Lopez revealed what many believe to be his true feelings about young transgender people on the Candace Owens show last month. Someone dug around and found the clip in which the former Extra host/incoming Access Hollywood personality said he disagreed with the "trend" of celebrity Hollywood parents "letting" their children "decide" to transition at a young age. Oh wow -- see how many quotes we had to use there?!
We'd never heard of this conservative talk show host Owens and it's probably because she says things like what she said about Charlize Theron whose son Jackson, 7, doesn't identify as a boy: "Celebrities are coming out — and I know Charlize Theron did this a few weeks ago — and saying that their child is picking their gender." That opened the door for Mario to concur, saying:
"Look, I’m never one to tell anyone how to parent their kids, obviously, and I think if you come from a place of love, you really can’t go wrong. But at the same time, my God, if you’re 3 years old and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way, or you think you’re a boy or a girl or whatever the case may be, I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make that determination then — ‘Okay, well then you’re going to be a boy or a girl,’ whatever the case may be. It’s sort of alarming and my gosh, I just think about the repercussions later on."
So ... thinking about the repercussions, Mario might be wishing he'd thought about the potential repercussions on his brand new job at Access Hollywood by saying something like this! God, what a dummy -- on so many levels! Mario, ever heard of Billy Bush?
And if that previous statement isn't bad enough, he dug an even deeper hole for himself by confusing gender identity with sexuality: "When you’re a kid … You don’t know anything about sexuality, you’re just a kid." Ummm ...
Then, a GENIUS statement about the #MeToo movement, "... people lie — and sometimes those people are women."
So social media is piling on -- from GLAAD to Queer Eye's Kamaro Brown, to Wade Davis and about a bazillion more people -- calling out the former Saved By the Bell star for his horribly transphobic and uneducated statements.
No on to his apology -- here's the statement he issued:
"The comments I made were ignorant and insensitive, and I now have a deeper understanding of how hurtful they were. I have been and always will be an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community, and I am going to use this opportunity to better educate myself. Moving forward I will be more informed and thoughtful."

Jordyn Woods is on the cover of Cosmo UK?! That's more shocking to us than what she said in her interview with the mag, though the Brits did get the jezebel to spill some tea ...
Woods opened up about what it was like after the cheating scandal broke -- which saw her in the headline of every web site as the home wrecker who broke up Khloe Kardashian and baby daddy Tristan Thompson's relationship ... and who killed her friendship with Kylie Jenner because of it. She said she became addicted to seeing what people were saying about her online: "It becomes addictive to look on the internet, to look at your name. When I would look at my name and see all of the things that people were saying, it became like a tumor. It became cancerous to me."
She went on to talk about her fear of being "cancelled" on social media: "The internet feels so entitled to have opinions about everything, but a lot of it is bullshit. These are real people, with real lives. People are so detached that they don’t feel empathy, they don’t feel bad, they don’t realize that the one message that you sent laughing at someone could be the message that pushes that person off the ledge."
But a lot of people were probably more concerned about how she hurt Khloe and Kylie rather than how Jordyn herself was hurt after the cheating scandal. She seems a little clueless as to how much pain SHE caused others: "I don’t believe in clapping back, or reacting out of emotion. I could have handled this a million different ways, but I just went with what felt the most natural to me. Would I ever have wanted this to happen? Never. But shit happens. And in the end, I never want to see anyone hurt; I would hate to be the reason for anyone’s pain. We all have to go to sleep with ourselves at night."
Jordyn is asked about Kylie ... "I love her. That’s my homie. I hope everything falls into place and that we can all grow and build our relationships with our family and God and come back together one day and be stronger and happier." Hmmm ... we'll see. Kylie, what do YOU think about that?

What's the first thing a 40-year-old mother-of-three thinks of doing while she's vacationing with her family in Italy? Most people: take the kids to get gelato; Kourtney Kardashian: post a nude selfie on Instagram!
KK stripped down for the sexy snap as she and her kids and friends vacationed in Sardinia, Italy over the past week. On land and on a yacht, Kourtney makes sure she shows off her bod for her 80 million Instagram followers in hopes of maybe cross-promoting her not-so-successful lifestyle brand Poosh.
In fact, Kourtney appears to be copying uber-successful half-sis Kylie Jenner in an effort to revive the brand. She's filed for "non-medicated skincare" trademarks for Poosh. If Kylie and Kim can do it, maybe Kourtney can too!
Kourt is copy-catting another famous lifestyle brand, it seem -- Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. Clearly Kourt's look and feel, content and vibe on Poosh's dot-com mirror Goop. Even the name is similar! Still, the web site and it's in-house luxury label haven't taken off and a new report claims Kourtney blames momager Kris Jenner for the failure. RadarOnline reports, "Kourtney doesn’t understand why Poosh isn’t taking off like she was hoping, but she is blaming Kris. She thinks Kris has focused so much of her time and energy into Kylie and Kim, she completely neglected her." After all Kris has done for her girls!! Really?!
