Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the mother of three reflected on her “wild” years during a conversation with Scott Disick and Kendall Jenner
“You went to Disney and you were all high or something — or Six Flags,” said Disick, 35. “I didn’t know you got high,” said Jenner, 23.
“I got married on ecstasy. The first time,” Kardashian West, 38, said of her wedding to music producer Damon Thomas in 2000. She continues, “I did ecstasy once and I got married,” she continued. “I did it again, I made a sex tape. Like, everything bad would happen.”
As no surprise to Disick and Jenner were shocked to have learned that about the Kardashian.
“You were high on ecstasy when you made that sex tape?” Disick asked of the 2003 sex tape Kardashian West starred in with Ray J, which went public in 2007 and catapulted her into fame.
“Absolutely. Everyone knows it,” Kardashian West responded. “Like, my jaw was shaking the whole time”.
“I just can’t believe that that was you,” Jenner marveled.
“I still can do crazy things,” Kardashian West insisted.
“Kendall, honestly, has no clue,” she added later. “I definitely went through a wild phase, I would say in my late teens. I’m not like that anymore. But I still have fun — don’t get it twisted, I’m always the life of the party.”
People online are praising actress Ellen Pompeo after calling out a crew mid interview for not being diverse enough.
In an interview alongside Gabrielle Union, Emma Roberts, and Gina Rodriguez, the Greys Anatomy star expressed her disappointment with the lack of color in the room and many rooms she walks into being in this industry.
Pompeo shared an experience she had, while working on one of her projects, where she spoke with the director voicing her concerns. She explained that “this day has been incredible, and there’s a ton of women in the room, but, I don’t see enough color when I walked in the room today.”
She continued with “when I show up on set I would like to see the crew look like the world that I walk around in everyday,” which is what she expressed to the director of her other project.
She finished with, “as Caucasian people, its our job. It’s our task, its our responsibility to make sure we speak up in every single room we walk into. It’s our job because we created the problem.”
After the star finished her statement the rest of the ladies in the interview gave a cheers in agreement. Many individuals on social media have been applauding Pompeo for her statement and call to action of all Caucasians in the industry. According to abc News , Dictionary.com tweeted the definition of an ally in result of Pompeo’s viral video, “Ally. A person, group, or nation that is associated with another or others for some common cause or purpose. E.g. Ellen Pompeo,” wrote the twitter account.
Pompeo has found a way of normalizing diversity and explaining to all white people that it is not okay to not speak up. I hope this will resonate with many people and encourage people to be brave and call out the lack of diversity within the industry.

Celebrities from all over took to social media to express their deepest condolences and shared memories with 47-year-old model and actress, Kim Porter, who died suddenly in her home Thursday morning.
According to PEOPLE, LA County Sheriff made a statement to reporters saying Officers reported to Porters home to respond to a death investigation at around 11:40 am in Toluca Lake, California, where they found Kim Porter unresponsive at the scene. Though her cause of death is currently undetermined at the moment, the emergency dispatch call came in as a cardiac arrest and sources have come out stating that Porter had been ill with pneumonia for weeks.
Porter leaves behind four children who she shares with both music mogul, Sean Combs and singer, Al B Sure. Her eldest child with Al B Sure, who was also raised by P-Diddy, Quincy, is 27 years old and has taken after his mothers acting career. Quincy has starred in a number of movies and shows like Brotherly Love and the Fox show Star. Her three youngest children who she shares with the Bad Boy Records entrepreneur are Christian Combs, 20, and two twin daughters, D’Lila Star and Jessie James Combs, 12.
Both Al B Sure and Diddy took to social media to address the death of the mother of their children. Diddy broke his silence three days after the death of Porter.
Al B Sure dedicated a photo to the mother of his child making reference to a song he wrote for Porter when she was pregnant with their son Quincy. The song is titled Forever My Lady which Sure wrote for the group Jodeci.
Diddy paid tribute by posting a video of an Essence shoot the couple did together to embody black love, while the model was pregnant with their twin girls, along with a heartwarming post stating that the two were more than just soulmates and bestfriends. Though the couple were on and off again during their 13 year relationship, they still remained close friends and co-parents. In an interview with Essence the model stated “we’re friends. I’m the person he can tell his innermost thoughts to and he’s that person for me. He still calls me every day and we talk.”
A number of friends of Porters have also taken to social media over the past three days to show their support and love for the family, as well as share stories of how deeply the model has touched their lives for the better. See posts below to see just how much the model influenced and had an impact on the lives of many.
This news has clearly shocked the entertainment industry and will be a hard loss for many individuals. Continue to keep the Porter and Combs family in your prayers as they endure this hard time.

We survived the apocalypse! With the eighth season of “American Horror Story” completed, it’s Judgment Day for “Apocalypse.” It had a lot of really amazing elements and some subpar plotlines that, in my opinion, knocked the season down a few pegs. Without further ado, let’s dive into the good and the bad of “American Horror Story: Apocalypse.”
THE GOOD
MULTI-LEVEL CROSSOVER
This season of “American Horror Story” brought fans back to where the series began, Murder House. Photo courtesy of thehollywoodreporter.com
Going back to Murder House, the setting of “AHS’s” inaugural season, was undeniably one of the highlights of “Apocalypse.” Since Season 1’s finale, fans have been speculating what became of Constance (Jessica Lange) and her murderous grandson, the toddler Antichrist. While we’ve been following Langdon’s (Cody Fern) journey since the first episode of “Apocalypse” it was amazing to return to where it all began and find out what the characters of “Murder House” have been up to since 2011. Lange, who promised she was done with “AHS” after Season 4, brought the house down with an insanely powerful performance. No one can monologue like Jessica Lange!
It was also great to see the witches back, even if they were mostly underutilized, but one of the surprising elements of “Apocalypse” was that it was also a “Hotel” crossover. While we’ve known that Seasons 1, 3 and 5 all take place within the same universe, there was no reference that the Hotel Cortez would be featured in the eighth season. Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) sitting in a hotel room, playing cards with James Patrick March (Evan Peters) was one of the best surprises of the season. I wish Ryan Murphy would do more things like this, instead of spoiling the majority of the season’s twists via his social media.
MYRTLE SNOW

The red-haired, quirky witch Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy) was a big part of Season 3 “Coven”, but she really shined in “Apocalypse.” Conroy was somehow able to play the witch, who in theory should come off as ridiculous and campy, with a level of seriousness that quickly made her a fan favorite. Can you think of anyone else who’d be able to play the Theremin, vape and deliver lines like “My hair is an eternal mystery, never to be fully understood,” without sounding ridiculous? Frances Conroy, that’s who!
MICHAEL LANGDON

It can’t be argued that “AHS” newcomer Cody Fern didn’t crush it this season as the Antichrist himself, Michael Langdon. With his long blonde wig, piercing eyes and strangely soothing voice (watching the show, you’d never know he has an Australian accent in real life), he was wonderfully cast as the season’s main antagonist. While I didn’t find him to be scary, I feel as though he was a pretty accurate depiction of what the Spawn of Satan would be like, especially in the “AHS” universe. He was also able to seamlessly transform from an all-powerful being to a prepubescent child stuck in an adult’s body. I expect he’ll be back in future seasons because he was one of the best elements of “Apocalypse.”
THE NUCLEAR BOMBS

It happened early in the season, but I thought the depiction of the build-up as nuclear bombs are dropped was downright anxiety-inducing. This is the kind of thing “AHS” does best. The writers play on our fears that are brewing just below the surface. This was also one of the few genuinely scary moments in the show’s history that doesn’t feature anything paranormal (until we find out that the Antichrist planned it), which makes it ring all the more terrifyingly true.
MADISON MONTGOMERY

Emma Roberts has always been hit or miss. She’s great at playing the sassy, mean character, but there are few other roles in which she’s excelled. In “Apocalypse” her character, the quick-witted and loose-tongued Madison Montgomery was brought back from Hell to fight against Langdon, and the season was made much better for it. In “Coven” Madison was sassy and mean to almost everyone. While she still has her signature tone in “Apocalypse,” it seems as though spending years in Hell did a number on her, because she gave one of the more nuanced performances this season. While I couldn’t describe her character as “nice” it became clear that she wanted to be a better person and actually cared about the future of the Coven, which could not be said for her in Season 3.
THE BAD
FLASHBACK STRUCTURE

The flashback itself wasn’t inherently bad, but the fact that this season was called “Apocalypse” and the second half took place almost exclusively before the apocalypse seems silly. I enjoyed some elements of Langdon’s backstory, but it definitely should have been condensed into one or two episodes. There’s no reason we needed to spend so much time seeing his rise to power, and we certainly didn’t need to spend so much time with the Coconut Head robotic engineers (Evan Peters and Billy Eichner in the worst wigs I’ve ever seen) as they build his robotic companion. It just didn’t work and got old after a few episodes.
I was expecting more exploration of the post-apocalyptic world, but instead got multiple episodes detailing Langdon’s path towards the end of the world. With “Apocalypse” in the title, is that too much to ask?
I almost think it would have been better to call this season “Coven 2” and let it play out linearly, letting the nuclear bombs drop around Episode 6 or 7. I feel like that would’ve been more shocking, and we wouldn’t have had to wait three episodes for the witches to appear.
ROBOT KATHY BATES

Kathy Bates is an amazing actress, especially when she’s playing an evil character, which is why “AHS” is a perfect fit for her. Miss Mead, her “Apocalypse” character, certainly gave her the opportunity to express her darker side, but the “twist” (if you could even call it a twist) was pretty weak. At the end of Episode 3, it was revealed that Mead was, in fact, a robot. This just seemed like one of the writers had binged “Westworld” and wanted to include it, but overall it seemed silly to me.
As the season went on and we got deeper into the flashbacks, we saw the real character that the robot was based on, and that was genuinely one of Bates’ better roles on the series. She was able to play up Mead’s creepy and Satanic vibes without seeming farcical. I just wished they had left her as a Satanist and didn’t bother making her a discount version of Dolores from “Westworld.” Although I can’t lie, her machine-gun arm was pretty cool.
ANTICLIMACTIC FINALE

All season, Langdon was hyped up to be this big, bad unstoppable force. So how do the witches finally kill him in the finale? They just run him over with a car. All season I was hoping for a big battle between the witches and the Satanists. I wanted the Coven to finally show off their powers, but no such luck. I get that Mallory (Billie Lourd) traveled back in time to his most vulnerable moment, but they totally could have killed him in a more creative, or at least horrific way. If everyone has these amazing abilities, why wasn’t anyone using them? When Langdon was hunting the witches down in the finale, why didn’t anyone use their telekinesis against him? I’m assuming the magic budget was down, but if you’re doing a “Coven” crossover, how could you not include more magic?
USELESS CHARACTERS
There’s no better picture to show under Useless Characters than Mutt (Billy Eichner) and Jeff (Evan Peters) who were given way too much screen time. Photo courtesy of thewrap.com
I get that scheduling conflicts are an issue, but if Ryan Murphy is going to bring back so many fan-favorites, why wouldn’t he use them? They went through all the trouble of bringing Misty Day (Lily Rabe) back from Hell, only to have her absent for the remainder of the season. Sure, they can say in a throwaway line that she’s “off galivanting with Stevie [Nicks]” but she definitely should’ve been a bigger part of the season.
It wasn’t just Misty who was underutilized in “Apocalypse.” One of the main characters of “Coven” Zoe (Taissa Farmiga) came back this season with newfound confidence and grace, yet she was mainly relegated to the background. There was no mention of her powers (killer vagina) that took up the majority of her Season 3 timeline, and she performed minimal magic.
Similarly, Queenie the “Human Voodoo Doll” has been stuck in the Hotel Cortez since Season 5. They made a big plot point of Langdon rescuing her, but once she got back to the Coven, she really didn’t do much. With all these iconic witches brought back, why wouldn’t they actually showcase their powers?
SAME ACTORS PLAYING TOO MANY CHARACTERS

While some actors, most notably Sarah Paulson, have no problem playing multiple characters, I feel as though this season featured too many multiple roles. While I love Billy Eichner as a comedian, I’m not sure he has the acting chops necessary to pull of two different characters. In the finale, I wasn’t able to differentiate between Brock and Mutt with a potential haircut.
After playing seven characters in last year’s “Cult” the fact that all three of Evan Peters’ “Apocalypse” characters (excluding his brief cameo as James March from “Hotel”) seemed wasted can’t be his fault, but that of the writing. Gallant, his first character of the season, died in the Hallows Eve poisoning, Tate was just a cameo and Jeff was completely unnecessary. Instead of throwing three subpar characters at him (I didn’t like how they tried to make school-shooter Tate into an innocent victim of the house), they should have focused on giving him one really strong, relevant character to play.
RETCONNING THE TIMELINE

By having Mallory go back in time to defeat Langdon in 2015, the show inadvertently changed the outcome of multiple plotlines. Since the apocalypse never happened, that means that Moira (Frances Conroy’s “Murder House” character who was given a heartfelt reunion with her dead mother) is once again stuck in the house, negating her plotline in the “Return to Murder House” episode.
Additionally, Mallory stops Queenie from staying at the Hotel Cortez during her upcoming trip to “The Price is Right.” Since Queenie never goes to the hotel, this drastically changes the last few episodes of Season 5. If Queenie was never there to hold over Angela Bassett’s character over, that means the Countess (Lady Gaga) could have very well escaped before being beheaded, which would, in turn, transform The Ten Commandments Killer’s final objective. Did they think of this when writing the finale, or were the writers only concerned with keeping Queenie alive for another potential crossover?
With the whole timeline resetting five years before the events of “Apocalypse” the entire season is essentially negated. None of it matters, because, in the new timeline the finale presented, none of it happened. Does that make this whole season a waste of time? Not necessarily, but it definitely knocks it down a few pegs.

Overall, I enjoyed this season of “AHS” but it clearly wasn’t without its flaws. It went slightly off the rails after the “Return to Murder House” episode and may have been too concerned with fan-service, but I can’t say I didn’t enjoy watching it every Wednesday night. I wish that Ryan Murphy and the writers would spend more time mapping out the whole season because it always lacks a level of cohesion.

“American Horror Story” is finally back, and this is the long-teased “Murder House” and “Coven” crossover season! But before we can get to any of that, we have to get to the end of the world.

The season premiere, “The End” wastes no time getting to the apocalypse. After getting her hair cut by Gallant (“AHS” staple Evan Peters), heiress and wannabe Instagram influencer Coco (Leslie Grossman for last season’s “Cult”) and her assistant Mallory (Billie Lourd, also from “Cult”) find out that nuclear war has broken out and Los Angeles in next. Her super-rich father has spots reserved in a fallout shelter and a private jet waiting. Coco calls her boyfriend Brock (Billy Eichner from both “Cult” and “Billy on the Street”), but he doesn’t make it to the airport in time. Instead, Gallant and his Beverly Hills grandmother (Joan Collins).
The whole opening sequence really underscores the terror and anxiety that the end of the world would likely bring. As they’re getting on the private jet, Coco’s security guard shoots down the desperate people trying to get on the plane, which was scary and all too realistic.
As our new core four are safely in the air, Mallory realizes their plane has no pilot (is that a thing with the 1%?) and they watch the bombs go off.

This brings up to the opening credits. After Season 6, “Roanoke” skipped the credits all together and last year’s “Cult” went with the politically revamped theme song, it was nice to get back to the classic “AHS” credits sequence, especially considering this sequence has so many direct references to the openings of “Murder House” and “Coven.” The shot of the creature in the woods is a play on the witch in “Coven’s” theme and the old photos of babies are right out of “Murder House.”
Timothy’s (“AHS” newcomer Kyle Allen) college acceptance celebration is cut short by the news of the bombs. As his family prepares for the end, people from “The Cooperative” come and take him to a holding cell because of his genetic makeup, courtesy of 23andMe.
This has me rethinking everything I thought I knew about the Ancestry sites. I can totally see them performing their own tests, but if it gets me saved from the nuclear war, maybe I’m not against it.
At the holding cell, he meets Emily (Ash Santos, also in her first “AHS” role) and they wait out the bombs. Once it’s safe to leave, the pair, adorned in hazmat suits, enter the grey post-apocalyptic wasteland and are taken to Outpost 3.
First impressions matter, and their first glimpse of their new home is two people being executed. Once they get inside, they meet the woman in charge, Ms. Wilhemina Venable (“AHS” queen Sarah Paulson). With a pimp cane in one hand and a candle in the other, Paulson finally gets to play an antagonist, and she crushes it. She’s super menacing but still believable.

She explains the rules of their new home. They can never leave the building nor can there be any “unauthorized copulation.” Also, there’s a clear purple vs grey class system, with the purples being the wealthy and the grey working as the help.
At dinner, we meet the residents of Outpost 3. Coco and her crew made it, with Mallory working as a grey. Discount Oprah Dinah Stevens (Adina Porter, who I’ve never liked in any of her roles on “AHS.” Her voice just annoys me), is there with her son and his boyfriend, Stu. Miss Mead (horror icon Kathy Bates) works as Ms. Venable’s right hand and is, as always, super eerie. There are few people who can play evil as well as Kathy Bates can.

We find out that all the other Outposts have been overtaken, so they are the only hope of humanity’s survival. Ms. Mead performs a rigged radioactivity test to keep everyone on their toes, and takes Gallant and Stu in for decontamination. They’re stripped naked and brutally scrubbed with push brooms. Mead decides Gallant is good to go, but mercilessly shoots Stu in the head.
It turns out Mead is a purple is disguise, working undercover for Ms. Venable. I was sensing some serious lesbian undertones between them during their interaction in Venable’s bedroom. I would 100% not be against that! A guy can dream.
Rather than eating the nutrition cube they’ve been fed every night, the occupants of Outpost finally get some real food, a nice stew. After finding some all-too-human bones in it, they realize in the campiest way possible “The stew is Stu.” While that line didn’t work for me, Coco yelling at Mallory to come stick her fingers down her throat, and Mallory obediently following, was probably the funniest moment of the night.
Just as they start to get hopeful that help is coming, a hard cut to 18 Months Later, with Coco’s new ridiculous hairstyle, also made me laugh. I really didn’t expect to time jump a year and a half in the first episode.
Timothy and Emily’s budding romance is cute, but definitely won’t last long. I’m just hoping they don’t devote too much screen-time to them, because I want my witches and ghosts. \
Tensions flare when they’re told that, in an attempt to save food, they all have to cut back to only half a nutrition cube per day. Just as Gallant is about to lose his cool, there’s a security breach.
We cut to outside the Outpost, where a horse-drawn carriage emerges from the grey fog. They’re not just regular horses, though; they’re wearing gas masks and seem to be infected with some kind of radioactivity. The image of them slowly coming from the grey was weirdly sinister and I was all for it.

Who gets out of the carriage but Michael Langdon (Cody Fern, from this year’s “American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace”). Serving up Lucius Malfoy realness with his long, luscious blonde locks and oddly soothing yet unsettling voice, it looks like we’ve met our other antagonist this season.
If that name sounds familiar, consider yourself a hardcore “AHS” fan, because you’re right! He’s the baby from the end of “Murder House” who was fathered by the ghost Tate Langdon, which in “AHS” lore makes him the second coming of the Antichrist. The crossover has officially begun!
The first episode of “Apocalypse” concludes with Langdon telling Ms. Venable that he has a safe haven for them, if he deems them worthy. The Biblical parallels aren’t exactly hard to see, but I think that placing this season within Biblical context could have potential to be really interesting.
