Newest NYC 'Housewife' revealed…

Elizabeth Savetsky, a fashion influencer who calls herself a "proud Jew & Zionist," is joining the cast of "The Real Housewives of New York," according to a report.

According to Page Six, Lizzy, a Fort Worth, Texas native, is someone who Bravo believes could breathe new life into the show, which has aired for 14 seasons. In recent years, fans have had a love-hate relationship with The Big Apple edition of the franchise. Realizing this, producers have cleaned house and are going with a new cast. (Some of the original "RHONY" cast members will be brought back for a separate "legacy" show.)

Lizzy has not commented on the report, but she is very active on Instagram, which is what producers want.

"Bravo found people aren't responding as well to the constant bickering and fighting of the [previous] cast. They're hoping that this new cast will be a bit more inspiring and attract the younger audience," said an insider.

The source said the women being wooed by Bravo are "already strong in the influencer space, and they are more aspirational. They're women who have their own brands, or at least strong Instagram followings."

Lizzy, for instance, has over 200,000 followers. A mom of three who's married to plastic surgeon Dr. Ira Savetsky, Lizzy often uses her social media to speak about accessories and her Jewish faith.

Page Six said producers are also eyeing Vera Wang executive Priya Shukla for the show.

Gary Busey responds to sexual assault allegations

Gary Busey is denying being inappropriate with several woman, claiming the sexual assault allegations levied against him are "made up."

On Tuesday, Aug. 23, TMZ posted a paparazzi video in which Gary said he doesn't regret what allegedly happened during the recent Monster Mania convention in New Jersey. 

"I don't carry any regret with me ever," he said.

Gary was charged with two counts of criminal sexual contact, one count of criminal attempt/criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. According to one woman, Gary allegedly put his face close to a woman's breasts and asked where she got them, TMZ reported. He also tried to unhook her bra, she claimed. A different woman said Gary grabbed her buttocks. Further, a man alleged that Gary also grabbed his daughter's butt.

Still, Gary claims that "none of that happened."

In trying to paint the picture of that day, the Oscar-nominated actor said he was in a room with several woman for "10 seconds." Other witnesses were also in the room, Gary said, and he argued that those people will vouch for his innocence.

"They made up a story that I assaulted them sexually, and I did not," he said in the new video. "Nothing happened, nothing. It was all false."

The "Lethal Weapon" star is set to be arraigned on Aug. 31.

Aubrey O'Day has bizarre defense after fan calls her out for Photoshopping vacation pics

Aubrey O'Day is calling her Instagram feed a "museum of ART" after a fan called her out for Photoshopping herself into desirable vacation images. 

Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

A look at the singer's Instagram feed appears to show Aubrey in India, Bali, Greece, Bora Bora and a myriad of other enviable places. The problem is that the Danity Kane alum likely didn't go to any of these places recently. On Sunday, Aug. 21, a TikTok user called out Aubrey for editing images from "other content creators" or "random promotional images."

In a response to the viral TikTok video, Aubrey posted a clearly edited photo that shows her in an extremely skimpy bikini hugging Jesus Christ. She jokingly tagged her location as "Heaven."

While her "Heaven" location was clearly in jest, she took issue with those mocking her Instagram feed.

"And not that I need to explain myself, but I've been in this industry for over 20 years and have been traveling the world since I was 7. If I want my Instagram to be curated like a museum of ART then that's what the f*** is going to happen," she said in part of her fairly profane Instagram caption.

Aubrey, 38, even seemed to think she's doing her 953,000 Instagram followers a favor by sharing the images of locations that are difficult to get to.

"I'm an artist, a REAL creator. I do all of my creative from my music to my flicks.. everything from my hair, glam, nails, styling, backdrops, editing, shooting, & the weather isn't always perfect when I shoot, and I vacation alone," she wrote. "I don't need to be flown places. Let alone the fact that a lot of the shots I give y'all are in places you have to spend hours scaling mountains to get to."

Funny enough, back in February, the singer posted a sun-kissed photo implying she was in Bali. The following day Aubrey posted several bikini photos insinuating that she was enjoying the snow in Mammoth Mountain in California. 

At no point does Aubrey — who's been accused of altering images before — acknowledge that the images are edited. Still, in her clapback, she demanded that followers "respect my aesthetic." 

https://twitter.com/ViralMaterials/status/1560740404370493440

"I work hard to give y'all beautiful content that feels the way the places I travel vibrate.. because I want y'all to vibrate high with me," she wrote before zeroing in the woman who brought the less-than-realistic Instagram feed to light. "Lil tok girl, I am so sorry to your place of work that allows you to sit on my page all day with binoculars.. but I suggest you learn this lesson fast: you don't even need to concentrate on others to be your own version of special and necessary in this world.. you can make positive changes just by using your own gifts.. stop looking left and right if you wanna move forward."

Shakira reportedly 'very angry' after ex breaks their post-breakup 'pact'

When Shakira and longtime beau Gerard Pique split earlier this year, they reportedly made a pact that neither would be seen publicly with a love interest for a least a year. Now, just three months after that alleged agreement, Gerard has seemingly disregarded that deal.

Over the weekend, Spanish media outlet Socialite published a video of the 35-year-old soccer star blatantly making out with new girlfriend Clara Chia Marti, 23, at the Summerfest Cerdanya festival in Catalonia, Spain.

A source close to the Grammy winner said Shakira is livid about the loved up images, saying, she's "very angry to see the father of her children with his girlfriend in public."

Amid cheating claims in June, Shakira and Gerard — who share sons Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7 — announced the end of their 11-year relationship. Soon after, multiple media outlets reported on the "pact" the former duo made.

Spanish TV host Laura Roige reflected on Gerard and Clara's romance. 

"It is evident that there is a relationship. I have seen a lot of love. It will hurt Shakira a lot because this is a Gerard Pique that we have never seen. I have never seen him like this with the singer," Laura said.

A source told The Sun that Gerard moved on from the "Hips Don't Lie" songstress with the PR student rather quickly. 

"Gerard and Clara have been seeing each other for months. She is a student who also works for him in his office, organizing events," the source said. "They have been keeping quiet about their relationship but those around them all know what is happening.'

The source continued, "People have been helping him keep the romance hush-hush and have wiped Clara's social media accounts so people can't find photos of her. That alone makes his mates think he is actually quite serious about being with her."

Why Casey Affleck skipped Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's lavish wedding celebration…

Casey Affleck opted for soccer over celebration. 

Over the weekend, much was made over Casey skipping out on his brother's lavish wedding ceremony in Georgia. The Oscar-winning actor only added to the confusion when he told paparazzi he was missing Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's gathering because of "other things."

Scott Kirkland/Shutterstock

It turns out that those "other things" involved taking his son Atticus to soccer practice.

Over the weekend, the "Manchester by the Sea" star shared a message on Instagram welcoming Jen to the family. In the comment's section, Casey's girlfriend, Caylee Cowan, seemed to reveal the "Manchester by the Sea" star's reasoning for eschewing the wedding. 

"Hey, if you weren't in town Saturday to take Atty to soccer practice then who would've helped the kid who broke his arm?" she wrote in a since deleted comment. "You're a good man. I love you."

Prior to the post, a source told People that Casey would miss the nuptials because of "family, parental obligations at home."

Although the absence could be seen as a snub, Casey's aforementioned adoring post dispelled that notion quickly. 

"Good things are worth waiting for," Casey captioned a throwback image of him walking with Ben and Jen. "Here is to twists and turns, new beginnings, and finding new reservoirs of old love."

He continued, "Welcome to the family. Get ready for some real dysfunction! Kidding. I am kidding. Jen, you are a gem. We love you so much!!!"

Twitter loses its mind over shirtless Andrew Garfield pic

Andrew Garfield became Twitter's man of the hour after a shitless picture went viral.

The "Spider Man actor caused social media to meltdown this week after he was photographed looking buff in Bali and wearing nothing more than a swimsuit. 

"I can say for sure that andrew garfield should be in the top 10 wonders of the world," one thirty social media user wrote alongside the image. Many fans said he was "supreme."

"I need to breathe," another person commented on the picture of Andrew looking ripped.

Another admirer said, "Andrew Garfield just got to bali and first thing he does is show off his abs. thank you very much sir."

The fan crush has to be secretly gratifying, as the actor told Entertainment Tonight earlier this year that he was once told he wasn't "handsome enough" to be a leading man. 

"I remember I was so desperate. I auditioned for Prince Caspian in 'The Chronicles of Narnia' and I thought, 'This could be it, this could be it,'" he said. "And that handsome, brilliant actor Ben Barnes ended up getting the role. I think it was down to me and him, and I remember I was obsessed."

In speaking to his agent, Andrew found out why he was passed over. 

"She eventually just broke under my incessant nagging and she was, like, 'It's because they don't think you're handsome enough, Andrew,'" he said. "Ben Barnes is a very handsome, talented man, so in retrospect, I'm not unhappy with the decision and I think he did a beautiful job."

Ambulance called to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez wedding venue

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's upcoming weekend wedding ceremony at his Georgia home is off to a dramatic start.

According to MailOnline, Ben's mother, Chris Anne Boldt, suffered a leg injury at the wedding venue on Friday, Aug. 19, and medical attention was required.

A source told DailyMail.com that Ben's mom fell off a dock and cut her leg. The "Argo" star reportedly found her and called an ambulance.

Pictures from the Georgia property showed an ambulance on property, and witnesses said medics stayed on property for about 20 minutes. 

Chris Anne received stitches, and the source said the incident is "not serious." Paparazzi images published by the Daily Mail show Chris Anne with a large bandage around her leg.

Initial reports said a "child" was injured, but those claims appear to be untrue.

Ben and Jen are already married, having eloped in Las Vegas last month. However, Ben reportedly told pals afterward that he and his new wife would be having a bigger, more formal ceremony. Soon after, multiple media outlets confirmed that that ceremony would take place this weekend at his serene Riceboro, Georgia, mansion.

According to Page Six, a rehearsal dinner will take place on Friday night and the ceremony on Saturday. The weekend will conclude with a barbecue and picnic on Sunday.

Alec Baldwin feared Trump supporters would kill him after 'Rust' shooting

Alec Baldwin feared for his life last year after Donald Trump publicly suggested that the actor intentionally shot and killed Halyna Hutchins on the set of "Rust."

While rehearsing a scene for the now-shelved indie-western, Alec pointed a gun at Halyna. Unbeknownst to him, the gun was loaded when it discharged

MediaPunch/Shutterstock

Halyna's death has been ruled accidental. 

Shortly after the incident, Trump, who's no fan of Alec's, theorized on a podcast that the actor loaded the gun himself. "In my opinion, [Alec] had something to do with it," Trump said. 

Reflecting on that moment, Alec told CNN in a new interview, "That was the only time that I was worried about what was going to happen. Here was Trump, who instructed people to commit acts of violence, and he was pointing the finger at me saying I was responsible for the death."

Gregory Pace/Shutterstock

Speaking about the Capitol riot specifically, in which Trump supporters attempted to stop the certification of Joe Biden's Presidential victory, Alec referred to Brian Sicknick, the police officer who died as result of that insurrection.

"They killed someone," Alec said of the Jan. 6, 2021, mob. "You don't think that I think to myself: Are some of those people going to come and kill me?"

The stress from the fear has "taken years off my life," Alec said. "There is just this torrent of people attacking me who don't know the facts."

The "Boss Baby" star credited his wife, Hilaria Baldwin, for helping him during that time. 

"If I didn't have my wife, I don't know where I would be right now … If I didn't have her, I probably would have quit, retired, gone off, you know sold everything I owned, got a house in the middle of nowhere and just you know did find something else to do, sell real estate," he said.

During the course of the interview, Alec maintained his innocence, saying Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the on-set armorer, and assistant director Dave Halls, who handed Alec the gun, are to blame for the accidental death.

"Someone put a live bullet in the gun who should have known better," Alec told CNN. "That was [Hannah's] job. Her job was to look at the ammunition and put in the dummy round or the blank round, and there wasn't supposed to be any live rounds on the set."

"There are two people who didn't do what they were supposed to do," he added. "I'm not sitting there saying I want them to, you know, go to prison, or I want their lives to be hell. I don't want that, but I want everybody to know that those are the two people that are responsible for what happened."

Elizabeth Banks, 48, poses in bikini after vacation of 'cheese, wine and chocolate'

Elizabeth Banks isn't sorry for indulging.

The actress took to Instagram on Thursday, Aug. 18, to pose for a few bikini snaps during a Greek vacation. In doing so, she noted that her diet consisted of three food groups, none of which are on the food group pyramid. 

"I decoded cheese, wine, and chocolate were more important on this trip than a flat tummy," she captioned an image, which was posted to her Instagram Story.

In a scenic snap, the "Press Your Luck" host walked up a path near the Greek shore and showed off her bikini body in a little blue-and-white two-piece. Her caption notwithstanding, Elizabeth looked stunning and happy in the image. 

The vacation has been a family affair, as the actress has shared several images of her children from their European vacation, including a snap of the kids swimming in water caves and diving off rocks. 

A fun, edited video to begin the trip showed Elizabeth donning a denim jacket and straw hat before her flight. After walking through the airport door, she came out the other side in Greece donning a white bikini bearing cherries. 

Greece — and cheese, wine, and chocolate — looks good on Liz.

Kate Gosselin explains why she 'borrowed' $100,000 from kids, ex accuses her of theft

Kate Gosselin has some explaining to do after her children's trust was depleted of $100,000.

Jon Gosselin, meanwhile, has accused Kate of blatant theft, telling The Sun his ex is living off their children's trust and dubbing her a "hypocrite." 

Broadimage/Shutterstock

In newly-unveiled 2019 legal documents, the "Kate Plus 8" star admitted to twice withdrawing $50,000 from the kids trust, adding, "I will have to keep borrowing from it to survive." 

In fact, she claimed her eight children owe her money to make amends for her paying for their private school.

"So I mean I'm not looking to collect that but I borrowed $100,000 from the kids' trust," she claimed in the legal docs. "And it owes me $387,000 technically."

Gregory Pace/BEI/Shutterstock

In the court filing, Kate said that assets from Hannah's and Collin's accounts were being used to "meet her and the children's expenses." Interestingly enough, Kate ended up buying a $750,000 lakeside home in North Carolina that same year. Jon insisted that Kate has yet to reimburse the children's accounts and said her justification for dipping into the trust is "crazy."

Hannah and Collin have been living with their dad since August 2021. Alexis, Aaden, Joel and Leah all live with Kate. The pair's older twins, Cara and Madelyn, are in college.

"It's disgusting and it's morally wrong," Jon told The Sun of the money matter. "Parents are not supposed to withdraw any money from these accounts without permission and without drawing up paperwork that they will pay it back — but she has produced no paperwork and no payments have been made. You can't just live off your kids' money."

"It makes me feel disgusted. She has been on TV telling the world she has saved her children's money when she's actually been stealing from them – she's a hypocrite," he continued. "There's been no remorse from her at all. Now they're 18 she thinks she can get away scott-free."

Broadimage/REX/Shutterstock

Jon said Colin and Hannah called their mother about the missing money recently.

"Hannah and Collin are really mad," he said. "Hannah called Kate the other day about it but Kate didn't seem to care. I don't know what the other children know about this money. I want them to know about this. Now Hannah and Collin are 18 – it's up to them to file a civil suit against her to get the money back. It's an obscene amount of money and it's their money."

Instagram gushes of Eva Mendes' cell phone Gosling-inspired wallpaper

Ryan Gosling — or at least a digital version of him — is with Eva Mendes at all times. 

On Thursday, Aug. 18, the actress gave her fans a glimpse into her cleaning routine. In doing so, she wiped off her cell phone and revealed that her longtime partner's picture is on her wallpaper. 

In the image, Ryan looks dapper. 

After realizing she showed the world her screensaver, Eva laughs and gave her followers a better glimpse at her beau. 

"The lock screen," one person commented with several heart emojis. "God bless you and your family." Another said, "Love the phone background."

Carlos Tischler/REX/Shutterstock

Ryan and Eva, who met in 2011 while filming "The Place Beyond The Pines" together, are fiercely private and rarely give fans a peek into their personal lives. Although Eva has taken a break from acting, Ryan continues to take roles. In a chat with heat magazine, the "Barbie" actor said he thinks about he and Eva's two daughters — Esmeralda Amada Gosling, 7, and Amada Lee Gosling, 6 — when deciding on a project. 

"I'm like a dad first, and part of the reason for doing the film ['The Gray Man'] was this opportunity for us to go to these interesting places and be there with my kids," Ryan said.

Of course, everything didn't go exactly according to plan. While filming "The Gray Man" in France, he laughed about Eva calling him during a scene. 

"That whole scene hinges on me handcuffed to this bench and we're in Prague and there's lots of explosions going up, off, and I was there with Eva and the kids, and they were in a hotel nearby, and I got a call in the middle of one of the scenes," he told Good Morning America. "I kinda hid behind a bench and used my free hand, and it was Eva saying, 'How long are these explosions gonna go on because the girls have a piano Zoom class.'"

'Most Beautiful Girl in the World,' now 20, flaunts post-surgery bikini body

Still beautiful after all these years.

Back in 2007, Thylane Blondeau was dubbed the "World's Most Beautiful Girl" by a slew of media outlets after a picture went viral of the then-6-year-old.

Now 20, Thylane is every bit as stunning as expected. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/CegsV_oMY1l/?hl=en

The French model recently put her fit physique on display in a blue bikini for a beach shoot with ETAM. It's one of Thylane first official modeling shoots since revealing in late 2021 that she had multiple surgeries for ovarian cysts. Prior to her first surgery, an ovarian cyst "exploded in [her] stomach," she said. 

"From this experience I've learned that when you're body hurts, don't let it slide and take care of it, you must see different doctors until some of them find the problem and heals it," she said in October 2021 on Instagram. "Any pain even the little ones can hide something way more important."

Domine Jerome/ABACA/Shutterstock

Clearly, Thylane — the daughter of French soccer player Patrick Blondeau and actress and fashion designer Veronika Loubry — is feeling better, as evidenced by her stunning Instagram snaps. 

Thylane, who twice topped TC Candler's annual "100 Most Beautiful Faces of the Year" list — began modeling at the age of 4 when she walked the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier. At just 10 years old, she posed for Vogue Paris.

When Thylane took home TC Candler's award at a 17-year-old, she took to Instagram. 

"I just can't believe it myself," she told her 5.8 million followers. 

This beauty is aging beautifully.

'Octomom' Nadya Suleman shares photo of her children on their first day of 8th grade

The eight are in 8th grade!

Nadya Suleman made international headlines back in 2009 when she welcomed octuplets. Those kids are now teenagers.

On Wednesday, Aug. 16, the proud mom shared a picture of the infamous children as the 13-year-olds headed off to school. 

"First day of 8th grade. Be proud of yourselves kids for being kind, respectful, and helpful to all your fellow peers, teachers and staff. You are exceptional role models to the 6th and 7th graders," she wrote alongside the image, adding, "I love you."

What's often forgotten is that Nadya was already the mother to six children when she welcomed the world's first-surviving octuplets. Nadya, 47, noted that the older siblings — several of whom are now legal adults — did not want their pictures shared.

"I respect their choice, so should you," she addressed her critics. 

Damian Dovarganes/AP/Shutterstock

After the post, many of Nadya's followers applauded her for respecting her children's privacy and others commented on how beautiful her children are. The vast majority, though, couldn't believe the octo-kids are teenagers!

"They are all on their way to high school. Time is no joke," one person said. Another said, "Time is flying! Your [sic] a great mom Nadia!!! Your [sic] doing it!!!"

Last year, Nadya reflected on giving birth to the children, saying she never asked for the "Octomom" nickname.

"Octomom, conceived by the media, was birthed in the perfect storm: Between the Great Economic recession of 2007-2009, and the pinnacle of tabloid media sensationalism, I was the perfect prey; a convenient target, with a bullseye on my back, for people to blame their economic hardship on," she wrote on Instagram in August 2021. "Being unmarried and an unemployed graduate student at the time, the predatory media hijacked my life and identity by devising a very effective MARKETING STRATEGY: OCTOMOM."

"They then fueled the fire of fury, outrage, and mass hysteria by feeding the public lie after lie, to push their profit-fueled agenda. Profit over people is an unfortunate pattern perpetuated in this cruel world. Oblivious to this truth at the time, I got trapped in the middle of this evil storm," she continued. "Had I given birth to Octuplets at a more recent time in history, I would never have been the target of media humiliation, misrepresentation, becoming the poster person for 'mommy shaming.'"

Nadya says she was "both cyber and physically stoned" by society back in 2009, recalling rocks being thrown at her house and car. 

Alongside her post, Nadya shared an image of children holding up signs protesting her. 

"This persecution of a mother would be appalling and even protested against in 2021; though was accepted and encouraged in the toxic 2000's," she said. "Sadly, I a MOTHER, was personally protested against, by ignorant parents and their ignorant children; as ignorance breeds ignorance."
