Who would have ever thought we'd find ourselves here ...
The President of the United States is blaming Puerto Ricans for being lazy in the aftermath of one of the worst natural disasters this country has ever seen, Hurricane Maria, and Donald J. Trump has taken to Twitter to blast San Juan's mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz for doing nothing to aid in the relief effort. Of course President Trump Tweeted this from the golf course, where he's enjoying some R&R this weekend.
So 37-year-old Pulizter Prize-winning Hamilton playwrite Lin-Manuel Miranda -- whose father is from Puerto Rico -- took to Twitter Saturday morning to slam the President, with this message: "You’re going straight to hell, @realDonaldTrump. No long lines for you. Someone will say, ‘Right this way, sir.’ They’ll clear a path."
This was in response to Trump's early Saturday morning Tweet that read, "They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job." Trump blamed the Mayor's "poor leadership." Miranda fought back with, "She has been working 24/7. You have been GOLFING. You’re going straight to hell. Fastest golf cart you ever took."
Mayor Cruz made this impassioned plea for help -- "We are dying," she told the media and the world. She's begging for help as her citizens are running out of clean water and gas and have had no electricity since the hurricane hit and no prospect of getting it back for months. "I'm begging anyone who can hear us to save us from dying ... You are killing us with the inefficiency and the bureaucracy." She went on to say, "If we don't get the food and the water into people's hands, we are going to see something close to a genocide."
Celebs like John Legend and Lady Gaga took to Twitter to criticize the President and show their support for Puerto Rico ...

Umm what it going on?
Blac Chyna and her lawyer Lisa Bloom posed for an impromptu photoshoot in front of her Range Rover yesterday, and we have a feeling it's meant to be a giant F-you to Rob Kardashian! After all, he's the one who paid for the pricey ride. He's also paying BC $20K-a-month in child support thanks to Bloom, but that might not last forever.
TMZ reports that the sock designer is basically broke, so his famous family agreed to help him shell out the dough to his former fiancee, because they are concerned for his daughter Dream's wellbeing.
That being said, the video vixen agreed to drop her domestic violence accusations and restraining order to get that amount, but courts could lower the total if they deem it unreasonable for Rob's situation. Translation- Kris Jenner hands the payments back over to Rob, he claims he can't afford them, and they get lowered. Bad news for the former stripper!
In other news, the Lashed bar owner is participating in pal Amber Rose's Slutwalk this weekend in downtown LA, and she plans to preach to the crowds about revenge porn and how to handle it. We're surprised the K clan didn't silence her with a gag order!

Just kidding! But seriously, that's the only thing that could make this KarJenner baby boom even more unbelievable!
Caitlyn Jenner grabbed her daily Starbucks this morning in Malibu, and not only did her shirt slide over and expose her cleavage, but it also made her look like she was expecting. Not the most flattering ensemble, and we couldn't resist making a joke! In all seriousness, though, the transgender star reportedly isn't thrilled daughter Kylie is pregnant for real.
"She thinks Kylie is way too young to have a baby, and that she should have waited until she was in a long term committed relationship. Obviously, Kylie has more than enough money to ensure that she can pay for help but Caitlyn still thinks that having a baby will take a huge toll on Kylie's life," a source dished to Hollywood Life.
"Caitlyn is concerned that Kylie and Travis really haven't been dating very long, and that a baby will put a big strain on their relationship, but Kylie believes the opposite - that she and Travis will be together forever," the source added.
Cait hasn't had the easiest week. First, Kim slammed her and called her a "liar" and "not a good person" on the Keeping Up with the Kardashians premiere teaser, and then Will & Grace's premiere episode mocked her. "Oh, we want to love her, but she makes it impossible," Will says as a clue during a game of Heads Up! "Caitlyn Jenner," Grace quips. Ouch!
Given her estrangement from the K clan, we wouldn't be totally surprised if she found an egg donor and surrogate and had another kid just so she wasn't so lonely!

Caliente!
Bella Thorne stripped down and posed completely nude for the latest issue of GQ Mexico, and the actress wanted to make it very clear that she requested her photos not be retouched. This is all natural, folks!
"I specifically asked for no re touching on this photo, and lemme tell you I have insecurities, about pretty much everything. That's natural & that's human. You might look at this photo and think oh shush bella, but just know everytime someone looks in the mirror they simply don't see what everyone else sees," she wrote on Instagram.
"Know that it's completely normal to feel insecure and it's accepted. honestly I wish everyone talked more about their insecurities so more people in the world could know they aren't alone. That it's ok. As a public persona you know naturally that everytime you shoot with a magazine there is always small retouching," she continued.
"Cuz yeah if they show my acne scars or a wrinkle in my forehead or my teeth aren't perfectly white, people will look at the photo and say no she's not perfect and usually most people don't want the public trashing and I get it, But fuck it I'm here to tell you that's right I'm not FUCKING PERFECT. IM A HUMAN BEING AND IM REAL. So hip hop your asses over the fence and GET OVER IT. @gqmexico," she concluded.

Just spill the beans already!
Kylie Jenner continues to ignore the reports and speculation that she's pregnant, but she's no dummy, so she's taking advantage of the increased attention by promoting her LipKits on Snapchat. Of course, she films from the chest up, so you couldn't see a baby bump even if there is one!
Why all the secrecy? Well, apparently the 20-year-old and her pregnant sister Khloe want to do a pregnancy reveal photo spread, and are exploring some different options before making their decision.
"Khloe and Kylie would like to show the world at the same time their growing bellies and would like to do it in a magazine shoot than would be reminiscent of Demi Moore‘s iconic nude pregnancy pictorial in Vanity Fair. They would love to be belly to belly and together to show off their bumps in the most beautiful way possible," a source dished to Hollywood Life.
Not only that, but rumor has it momager Kris Jenner is working overtime to make sure her girls can cash in on their buns in the oven! The K clan matriarch is busy formulating endorsement and business deals to corner the expectant mom market, so get ready for KarJenner maternity clothes, vitamin supplements, beauty products, and anything else under the sun they can slap their name on!

Well this is a bummer.
Sarah Jessica Parker just confirmed that Sex and the City 3 isn't happening, and she sounds pretty broken up about it.
"It’s over. We’re not doing it. I’m disappointed. We had this beautiful, funny, heartbreaking, joyful, very relatable script and story. It’s not just disappointing that we don’t get to tell the story and have that experience, but more so for that audience that has been so vocal in wanting another movie," she told Extra.
Rumor has it that co-star Kim Cattrall's "outrageous demands" torpedoed any hopes of a follow-up flick, but she took to Twitter this morning to deny those reports.

Their love nest is swanky!
The Weeknd purchased this $18 million Hidden Hills mansion in July, and he's been working on making everything perfect in preparation for his girlfriend Selena Gomez to move in! The two are already shacking up at a $16K-a-month NYC apartment while she films her new Woody Allen movie, but once that wraps, they're headed back to the West coast and looking forward to domestic bliss!
The 12,000 estate sits on three acres of gorgeous grounds and has 9 bedrooms and 10 bathrooms. The open floor plan makes this place stunning, and it comes with all the bells and whistles, including a home theater, music lounge, study, and gym. Outside, there is a salt water pool with a 12-foot water feature, a huge 10+ person spa, an outdoor kitchen and BBQ center, a large entertaining pavilion with fireplace and 2 fire pits. Party time!
The coolest part? An 8-stall barn and pasture areas! We have a feeling the Starboy will buy his lady love her very own pony!
Now we can see why she chose to put her bachelorette pad on the market!

Now this is just bad luck.
Heidi Klum's boyfriend Vito Schnabel was arrested for possession of psychedelic mushrooms at the Burning Man music festival, just three weeks before his breakup with the supermodel, TMZ reports. Talk about a bad month!
The art dealer was charged with felony distribution and manufacture of a controlled substance, and if found guilty, he faces up to five years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
"The Defendant did willfully, unlawfully import, transport, sell, exchange, barter, supply, prescribe, dispense, give away or administer a controlled or counterfeit substance and manufacture or compound a controlled or counterfeit substance.On or about September 3, 2017, at or near 10 and Deep Playa of the Burning Man Event… the Defendant did transport to Black Rock City, Psilocybin, a schedule one controlled substance," a statement from Pershing County sheriff's department read.
The 31-year-old and the German stunner dated for three years, and confirmed their split earlier this month.
