Ellen DeGeneres Supposedly Bans Caitlyn Jenner From Her Show

Don’t mess with Ellen!

According to multiple outlets, the lesbian comedienne has reportedly banned Jenner from her show following a series of disagreements. Story time: In September of 2015, the Olympian took to Ellen to discuss her transition and to give her first talk show interview. During the chat, Cait expressed disapproval over gay marriage, a sentiment which obviously confused as well as irritated DeGeneres. If you watched the episode, you probably remember how uncomfortable the whole segment was — it also didn’t help that Jenner was tone deaf, stubborn, and impervious to criticism the entire time.

In a new interview, Rose recalled the time Reeves gave her face a “little nick” on the set of John Wick: Chapter 2. Ruby revealed the jab occurred during an action sequence:

“He was flipping me over his shoulder and he put his elbow out – but I loved it. He was mortified and I was like ‘no, no, it’s nothing.'”

Yep, this totally sounds like a Ruby Rose story. I’m not surprised the model handled it like a champ!

Amandla is the queen of cool.

That’s all she wrote. Cheers to the weekend!

A few days after the disastrous sit down, the gay icon opened up to Howard Stern, revealing:

“Caitlyn Jenner still has a judgement on gay marriage. And I said, you’re wanting people to understand and accept you, this is like, really confusing to people. She said if the word marriage is that important… and like, it is.”
Well, it turns out Caitlyn is one to hold a grudge and is a big fan of deflecting blame. In her April 2017 memoir The Secrets of My Life, she criticized DeGeneres for allegedly “alienating” her from the LGBTQ community:

“I believed, as anyone would, that that was exactly what she wanted to talk about my progression in terms of changing attitude over the years. I am for it. I did not initially understand why marriage was so important, influenced no doubt by my own personal experience. Now I do, and it’s a wonderful thing to see. This discussion further alienated me from members of the LGBTQ community. Ellen’s appearance on The Howard Stern Show, where in my mind she even more emphatically took what I said out of context, made it go viral.”

In response to the tell-all, a source told Radar Online:

“Ellen does not want to ever have Caitlyn back on the show. She could not believe that Caitlyn took time to write about her in the book!”
As for C.J.’s take on the ban:
“That is fine with Cait, because she has no desire to go back on after what Ellen did to her last time! In fact, she said she thinks that Kris put Ellen up to it, because of the fact that they are really close friends and Caitlyn had recently just left Kris when it happened. Caitlyn really believes that Kris put Ellen up to the line of questioning that she went for in the interview. She was just defending herself against the whole situation in the book because she felt she never had the chance to.”
Lol. Although I don’t doubt momager Kris is conniving, this is all on Caitlyn. I guess we’ll see if this ban holds up!

Kristen Stewart Reportedly Moves In With Girlfriend Stella Maxwell

Things are heating up big time for Kristen and Stella! After five months of dating, sources have come forward to reveal the two are shacking up in LA. Although Maxwell still has an apartment in NYC, her main crash pad is with Stewart in the neighborhood of Los Feliz — apparently the model spends “all of her time” there.

A friend told Us Weekly:

“They’re both so busy with work, but try to be together when they can. Kristen really likes her.”
In other news, the actress is now the new face of Chanel’s “Gabrielle” perfume. The scent will apparently mimic an “abstract floral”… whatever the heck that means.

Master Of None Returns For Season 2

If you’re a Master of None fan like me, you’re also thrilled that Aziz Ansari’s show will return to Netflix on May 12. I’m especially excited considering lesbian writer and actress Lena Waithe wrote one of the episodes, an emotional feat titled Thanksgiving. Lena, who plays a lesbian named Denise on the show, will tell the story of her character’s coming out to her reluctant mom (Angela Bassett) over the course of many Thanksgivings.

Based on reviews of the second season, Waithe’s episode is receiving some of the highest praise so far. Vanity Fair had this to say:

“There are a few stand-alone episodes dealing with religion and family and dating apps, a particular highlight being “Thanksgiving,” in which Dev takes a backseat to Lena Waithe’s Denise, whose struggles in coming out to her mom (a terrific Angela Bassett) are chronicled with grace and subtlety.”
On a cute side note, Lena and her girlfriend are still going strong:

So sweet.

P.S. let me know what you think of the episode when it airs!

Here Are The 2017 GLAAD Media Awards Winners

Over the weekend, GLAAD hosted its 28th Annual Media Awards in New York City. During the ceremony, Rosie pretended to a send a text to Donald Trump on stage, joking: “‘F- you, Donald. From the gays.’ Sent”. Yes, yes, and… yes.

Following the moment of brevity, the lesbian comic made reference to the drama with her estranged daughter Chelsea. The two have been feuding for years — just last week the teen accused O’Donnell of emotional and physical abuse. In response to controversy, Rosie had this to say:

“Things have been rough in my family in the last week. Let’s just say I feel strongly Joan Crawford was framed.”
