A thief broke into Kourtney Kardashian’s rented home in the Hamptons and stole a
briefcase containing $4,000 in cash. The good news is that friends are taking up a
collection so she can buy groceries.
Kendall Jenner reportedly tried to leave a New York restaurant last week without
paying. You can’t really blame her seeing as how tough it is for a teenager to get
by and a measly $5 million-a-year allowance.

TINSELTOWN TATTLER…
ROBIN WILLIAMS died yesterday in an apparent asphyxiation suicide. Williams
was found unconscious and not breathing inside his home north of San Francisco
around noon local time, and was pronounced dead shortly after. The president of
his PR firm said Williams had been battling severe depression lately. Early last
month it was reported that Williams checked into rehab to maintain his sobriety.
Williams’ sitcom The Crazy Ones was recently canceled after one season, but he’ll
be seen again as Theodore Roosevelt in the third Night at the Museum film and
he’d recently signed on to star in a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire. His wife released the
following statement: "This morning, I lost my husband and my best friend, while
the world lost one of its most beloved artists and beautiful human beings. I am
utterly heartbroken. On behalf of Robin's family, we are asking for privacy during
our time of profound grief. As he is remembered, it is our hope the focus will not
be on Robin's death, but on the countless moments of joy and laughter he gave to
million." Williams was 63. (See first Tonight Show appearance here) (Last Carson
show here – 6:20 in) (Conan O’Brien breaks news here) (Various movies here)
Were Sunday night’s TEEN CHOICE AWARDS fixed? Apparently so! A
message briefly flashed on the screen at the end of the show saying that winners
are determined using the votes cast on the website, but that Teenasaurus Rox
reserves the right to choose the winner from the top four vote getters. So, just who
or what is Teenasaurus Rox? Apparently the producers choose the winners from
among those who commit to attending the ceremony. Naturally, young fans were
outraged and the hashtag Teens Don’t Have A Choice Awards became a thing.
A thief broke into KOURTNEY KARDASHIAN and Scott Disick's rented home in
the Hamptons and stole a briefcase containing $4,000 in cash. The Kardashians
seem to think it's an inside job because it’s the third time the family has been hit
and each time there was no indication of forced entry. Kourtney reported a $50,000
cash theft at her home in Calabasas in February and just after that Khloe’s place
was hit for $250,000 worth of jewelry.

TINSELTOWN TATTLER 2…
KENDALL JENNER reportedly tried a ‘dine and dash’ with her pal Hailey
Baldwin in New York last week. Word is the girls got steamed because they
wouldn’t serve them booze because they’re underage and Kendall got up and left
without paying the $60 tab. Their server happened to be MTV's "Skins" actress
Blaine Morris, and she ran outside to get Jenner to pay up. Sources say the girls
started laughing before Kendall took a couple $20 bills out of her wallet and threw
them at the server and walked away, not even counting if it was enough or if it
included a tip. No comment from Kendall’s rep, but Hailey’s people said they
thought everything was paid for, that Kendall was polite and they didn’t run.
However, a similar incident happened with Kendall's younger sister, Kylie, at an
L.A. hotel when the staff refused to serve booze to her and her underage friends.
A feud has broken out between NICKI MINAJ and MILEY CYRUS. It started
when Miley Photoshopped some "Anaconda" parody pictures in which she put her
face on Nicki’s body in those photos where she’s wearing a G-string and flaunting
her booty and then uploaded them to Instagram. The photos included one in her old
Hannah Montana wig, which she titled ‘Hannah Conda.’ Nicki was not amused as
she tweeted, "Give me one good reason why Miley made this her twitter avi."
Those aren’t the only photos that Miley posted. She also adopted a pet piglet
named Bubba Sue and shared those photos as well. (See here)
Teen bride COURTNEY STODDEN and her 50-something husband DOUG
HUTCHISON have gotten back together and are even planning to renew their
wedding vows. Courtney’s mom said her daughter realized just how much love she
really had for Doug, adding that during their time apart, Courtney got to
"experience other men," and realized that she "wanted to be with her original
choice, her husband."

Today’s update on the supposed JAY Z and BEYONCÉ marriage troubles is that
he’s doing everything he can to patch things up by sending flowers, constant texts
and telling her he loves her. While they seem to be putting on a united front for
now, sources say it may be too little, too late.
ARIANA GRANDE apparently isn’t wasting any time in moving on from her exboyfriend as it’s reported that she and rapper BIG SEAN have taken their
friendship to a new level. A source tells E! News that the pair, who worked on her
hit "Problem" together, are dating. Big Sean was engaged to Glee’s Naya Rivera,
but called off the wedding in April only to see her marry another guy last month.
No comment from their reps, but they were recently spotted at The Grove in Los
Angeles after leaving a movie theater where a witness saw them kissing.
TAYLOR SWIFT has someone special in her life and it’s supermodel KARLIE
KLOSS! They met while doing the last Victoria’s Secret fashion show and have

WILL HAYDEN, from the reality show "SONS OF GUNS," has been arrested in
Louisiana on child molestation charges. Hayden was released after posting a

him dumping her. Hayden also says the daughter in question, who he’s raising with
his new wife, was interviewed by Child Protective Services and returned to his
home. Hayden’s older daughter also backs him up.

TINSELTOWN TATTLER 4…
MMA fighter WAR MACHINE is still on the lam after allegedly beating up his
porn star girlfriend CHRISTY MACK. He’s been tweeting and says he showed up
at Christy’s house to propose to her, but found another man there. Christy is able to
speak again and TMZ posted photos of her injuries that are pretty nasty. Christy
says Machine broke up with her in May but for some reason showed up at her
house at 2 AM Friday, walked in and, without saying a word, beat up her friend.
She says he then threw the friend out of the house and made her strip and shower
in front of him before beating her. Christy suffered 18 broken bones around her
eyes, a broken nose, she had some teeth knocked out, a fractured rib and ruptured
liver and he also cut off a bunch of her hair with a dull knife. Christy also says he
threatened to sexually assault her, but was unable to perform.
CASEY KASEM still can’t rest in peace as his body is apparently about to be
moved again, this time to Europe, possibly Oslo, Norway. Casey’s wife, Jean
Kasem, is being investigated for elder abuse and authorities want a full autopsy
done, although that hasn’t been performed yet. Casey's kids believe Jean is on the
run because she knows if the family gets the body and an autopsy is performed it
could be incriminating for her.
TRACY MORGAN’S lawyer was on the Today show yesterday morning and said
Morgan is still struggling, but he's a fighter and he's had issues before that he's
fought through, and he's fighting hard. Morgan suffered broken ribs, a broken nose
and a broken leg in a June car crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.

A Fort Myers, Florida newspaper delivery man was shot early yesterday morning
after encountering three men who robbed a convenience store. Despite being shot
in the face, left arm and the back, the unnamed man drove home, gave his receipts
to his wife and asked her to call 911. He also wanted to make sure that she called
the paper so his route could be finished. At last report the man was listed in stable
condition at a local hospital, but the bullet lodged near his nose and at last report
had not yet been removed.
Oregon mother Crystal Cain is getting some unwanted attention for smoking
during her pregnancy. However, Crystal didn’t smoke cigarettes, but marijuana.
Crystal did so on the advice of her midwife, who suggested it to deal with nausea
and anxiety. Crystal recently had to sign a waiver before being allowed to
breastfeed her newborn because she’s a medical marijuana user, and the hospital
wanted her to acknowledge that she’s aware of the potential risks. While several
studies say marijuana can’t be transferred to a baby via breast milk, the American
Academy of Pediatrics advises against smoking pot while nursing. Crystal’s baby
was born almost two months premature and needed an incubator for a few days,
but appears to be doing fine now, and Crystal says she has no plans to stop
smoking.

A Washington, D.C. news crew from WUSA Channel 9 recently went on location
to do a story about an app that alerts people of "sketchy" neighborhoods. It turns
out that the app works and the news crew’s reporting was accurate. After going out
in the neighborhood to conduct interviews, the crew returned to find that their van
had been broken into and most of their gear was stolen.
Sicklerville, Pennsylvania’s 25-year-old Michael Mack was on electronically
monitored house arrest after pleading guilty in June to drug distribution offenses. It
turns out that Mack wasn’t exactly scared straight. Police raided his home and
found a significant quantity of heroin, along with marijuana, narcotics packaging
materials and a pistol after he allegedly sold drugs to an undercover officer. Mack
is again facing similar charges, along with gun possession by a prohibited person.
Police in Vero Beach, Florida responded to calls about a man driving a tractor on a
city street. While this may be unusual in itself, Elias Velez-Morales was driving
said tractor at 1:40 in the morning while dancing in the seat and exposing himself.
When officers caught up with Elias, he explained his actions by saying he had
three beers. Either Elias was lying or he has a very low tolerance for alcohol as the
police report noted that he appeared to be so intoxicated he was unable to give his
name and address and that he’d urinated on his clothes and himself. Before he was
arrested Elias also told officers he’s never had a driver’s license.
North Carolina’s Bradley Herbert won a donut-eating contest at the Elizabeth City
Police Department's National Night Out Against Crime event. Lt. Max Robeson
said, "I did congratulate him. Good for him. He can eat a lot of doughnuts."
However, Herbert was arrested the next day. No, he wasn’t arrested because he
beat the police at their stereotypical forte. It seems police discovered that Herbert
entered the police contest despite being wanted in connection with two break-ins at
local grocery stores.

Women have been granted the right to breastfeed their babies in public. However,
Spring, Texas mother Miranda Sowers was asked to leave Brother's Pizza Express
while attending to her baby. Unfortunately, Miranda wasn’t breastfeeding the baby,
but changing its dirty diaper at her table. Manager Donny Lala said, "As soon as
you start opening the diaper, people start complaining about the smell of the
diaper. Last thing I want is a customer throwing up." For her part, Miranda said
she plans to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.
An unnamed 37-year-old woman went to an airline ticket counter at the Halifax
Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia and asked that they stop one of its
planes from taking off because she believed her partner was on board and leaving
to see another woman. When the airline refused, the woman climbed the perimeter
fence topped with some 10 feet of barbed wire and began wandering on a runway
in an effort to stop the plane. The woman was eventually subdued and it turned out
her partner wasn’t on the aircraft, although he may now want to consider it.
Rutherford, New Jersey police have busted the Rose Spa following tips that the
business was actually a front for illegal sexual activity. Police say the first tip came
from a woman exercising at the yoga studio across the street, who saw her husband
go into the spa. He apparently didn’t have a happy ending as the wife was able to
get buzzed in and went from room to room looking for her hubby and, as she did,
she observed the illicit activity and called the cops.
Missouri’s 56-year-old Jerald Hill wanted to do it doggie style. As men sometimes
do, Jerald went on Craigslist to arrange such an encounter. The story careens
farther and faster downhill from here as it seems Jerald wanted to get intimate with
an actual dog. As luck would have it, a police officer spotted the ad and offered to
arrange such an encounter for Jerald. Undercover officers made the arrest and if
Jerald’s name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the soon to be former head of the
Windermere Baptist Conference Center.
