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?!

Life isn't really getting better for Olivia Jade and Bella Giannulli as their parents Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli are about to head back to court in the Varsity Blues college admissions scandal ... 'cause now, the girls have been kicked out of their sorority at USC, to add insult to injury!
Of course Olivia and Bella had already stopped attending the prestigious private school following the FBI investigation that busted their parents and many others for paying a college admissions counselor to help them get into USC. Here's what reportedly happened at the KKG house: "Olivia and Bella were both in Kappa Kappa Gamma and the sorority has since kicked them out and is trying to distance themselves from the situation as much as possible,†a source tells Us Weekly.
Meanwhile, Olivia and Bella have made a quiet return to Instagram -- posting birthday messages to their mom the other day. Lori turned 55 over the weekend and celebrated with a small family gathering at their Beverly Hills home. Lori and Mossimo are due back in court Aug. 27 where they are expected to waive their rights to separate representation, choosing to share the same lawyer in their defense, presenting a united front to the jury. Felicity Huffman has done the opposite -- her husband William H. Macy wasn't indicted in the scandal so she's on her own. If found guilty, she'll take the fall for having paid William "Rick" Singer, the college admissions consultant, to fudge the couple's daughter's SAT scores for in exchange for a $15,000 payment to singer's fake non-profit.
Loughlin and Giannulli are currently in LA, attending Good Shepherd Catholic Church every Sunday. Lori was seen out shopping over the weekend and for the most part, they're going about their normal daily lives ... with the threat of a jail term hanging over them every single day. Gotta be stressful!

Check this out! Have you ever seen so many black SUVs and beefy dudes dressed in black before?!
We spotted Justin Bieber leaving the DogPound gym on Monday and when he returned to his Beverly Hills mansion, we found THIS!!
Check out the video above -- there were at least six black SUVs outside of Justin and Hailey's house, waiting in the street, with a few guys walking around monitoring the situation. And "the situation" was that Mr. and Mrs. Bieber were about to head to the airport to leave for Japan. The pair packed up and headed to Asia late Monday. Of course they had their face masks packed and Justin, his Crocs ... wait, his CROCS?! Yep ... check this out!

This is WEIRD! This cute model Carissa Pinkston posted some random, transphobic comments on social media and was getting tons of backlash, obvi. Her modeling agency dropped her. She was out of work and people were pissed at her. So what'd she do? Well ...
Let's start at the beginning ... here's what she posted on Facebook: "Being Transgender does NOT make you a Woman. It makes you simply transgender,†and, “Being Transgender does not make you a woman in a Transgender context according to gender and sex. This is how they want to be perceived. In a biological context there are Females and Males. This is the world in 2019."
THEN, after her post was copied and circulated online and her agency fired her, she decided saying THIS would be a good idea ...
"I wasn’t ready to come about it yet but today I got fired and I’ve been receiving hate mail and death threats ever since so I’m being forced to tell the truth. I’m Transgender. I transitioned at a very young age and I’ve lived my Life as a female ever since. It’s been very hard to keep this secret but what I said about Trans-Women is a direct reflection of my inner securities and I have since come to realize that I am a Woman. WE ALL ARE!"
Then a fellow model -- who really is trans and who knows Carissa -- wrote this ...
Pinkston then countered with an apology, realizing the whole thing was a HUGE mistake -- but is this too little too late? "I panicked and I thought if I came out as Trans that I could somehow make things better for myself but it appears I’ve only made things worse,†she wrote. “I’m truly sorry. I’m only 20 and I’m human. I make mistakes but I refuse to let them define me. I hope you all can forgive me and move on from this because I’m so much more than this incident and I’m not a coward."
