Having a baby girl or a baby boy? Just starting to look at names for either sex? Maybe you aren’t even having a baby but like expertly-curated lists of baby names with meanings and origins? Check out a few of our recent favorite baby names published by our friends at Mamas Uncut from this great list, and then read the full list for more great names on the same theme.
Sky
As a name, Sky was first used in Norse and it means “cloud.” Olivia Sky is a perfectly ethereal name that manages to be bold while still floating on air. Alternatively, you could throw an “E” on the end to give this word-name a bit more pizazz. Skye or Sky both work!
Sage
Olivia Sage certainly sounds herbaceous, like the ingredients for the perfect recipe! Sage, of course, refers to the wonderful herb, but also connotes “wisdom.” This would be a bold choice, but we wouldn’t be mad about it.
Blake
Olivia is such a lyrical name that the bluntness of Blake helps bring contrast. Blake is an English name that means “dark.” Olivia Blake sounds literary like a name from your favorite novel.

This fabulous tattoo depicts the inner struggles of mental illness. When you’re constantly battling your brain and its hardwired bad habits, it’s the definition of an uphill battle. It can really feel this epic for some people!

Bjorn
The name of several early legendary kings of Sweden in the 9th and 10th centuries, Bjorn somehow sounds very modern while being extremely old. The name predates the German language as we know it and was found across the Nordic. There’s no one, clear meaning but most scholars settle on “bear.”
Wolf
Wolf, alone was a popular name but it was also used as a nickname for a ton of medieval names beginning with Wolf. Wolfald, Wolfbern, Wolfbert, Wolfer, Wolfgang, Wolfgrim, Wolfgunda, Wolfhart, Wolfheah, Wolfhelm, and Wolfram were all around. Do not even get us started on the Wulf-names. Wolf comes from Old English by way of High-German and Old Icelandic. While Wolf was popular across Europe, it was most popular in Germany and central Europe.
Finnian
Finnian is an extremely old name with Irish roots. The name means “white” and belonged to a few high-profile Irish saints from the 5-7 centuries. The name finally became widespread in England spelled both with one and two N’s in the 16th century.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star recently opened up to Harper’s Bazaar about her and Scott’s close bond despite ending their romantic relationship.
Kylie Jenner Talks Co-Parenting With Her Best Friend Travis Scott
“We have such a great relationship. We’re like best friends,” shared Kylie. “We both love Stormi and want what’s best for her. We stay connected and coordinated.”
The beauty mogul credits her own parents for showing her how to be an involved mother. “I think about [my parents] in situations with Stormi, what they would do. They were very hands-on with me, and I want the same for Stormi.”
Of course, the mama-of-one has to deal with the added pressures of constant media attention. She continued, telling Harper’s Bazaar:
“I think about it a lot because the world is just so crazy now. Exposing her to all of the negativity that comes with the internet, I think about that too. I’m just trying my best, even though she’s still little, to remind her how blessed we are and that this isn’t normal, the way we live. It’s just our life.”
Jenner added, “People want to take pictures. I think she would feel differently if I was always covering her face like, ‘Don’t look!'”
While there are challenges that come with being a celebrity parent, Kylie says the support of her family keeps her grounded. “We all keep each other in check and support each other. I have their support, and I can always run to my mom or my dad or my sisters, and they all know what we’re going through.”
And when it comes to baby number two, she admitted she definitely feels the pressure to grow her family, but there are currently no plans to do that.
We cannot imagine the look on Kristen Bell’s face when she discovered that her daughter had washed her hair with Vaseline. As it turns out, the petroleum jelly-based product isn’t so easy to wash out of hair, so the panicked actress turned to Instagram to ask for help.
“My daughter just washed her hair with Vaseline and I can’t get it out . . .” Kristen told her followers via Instagram Stories. “Has this ever happened to anyone? I washed it three times now and it’s not getting any better.”
The Good Place star even shared a peek of her daughter’s head covered in slimy Vaseline. The Frozen star wasn’t the only one who had faced this type of situation before, as her followers knew just what to do.

Kristen Bell’s Daughter Put Vaseline in Her Hair, Thankfully Instagram Was There to Help
Turns out, the solution is dish soap. “I appreciate that; I’m very grateful for you guys, ’cause I don’t know what I’m doing,” Kristen said in a follow-up video.
Apparently many parents have faced this exact same challenge, as the internet is full of tips on how to get the not water-soluble product out of strands. According to Fisher-Price, it’s helpful to first blot the hair with facial tissues and then apply cornstarch to absorb some of the jelly.
A clarifying shampoo is also helpful in removing the gunk, as are makeup removing wipes, according to Today. Hopefully, Kristen and her husband Dax Shepard will put the Vaseline on the top shelf from now on so that 6-year-old Lincoln and 5-year-old Delta won’t pull this stunt again.
A devastated mother is claiming that California police handcuffed her 16-year-old autistic son while he was experiencing a seizure.
The mom, Lourdes Ponce, alleges that instead of taking her son David Ramos to the hospital, police handcuffed him in a restaurant bathroom. In a video posted to her Facebook account, Lourdes can be seen shouting at the police to let her son go.
“He has autism, he has epilepsy, stop it!” she screams at the officer. According to Lourdes, on January 30, the family stopped at Pollo Loco to eat after visiting the Children’s Hospital in Madera. While dining at the restaurant, her son went to the bathroom and began having seizures.
As soon as the mother and her daughter saw David’s state, they called 911 and eight police vehicles arrived instead of an ambulance. Lourdes told ABC 30, “I stood outside the door, I heard him hit the floor, I tried to open the door but it was locked, that’s when I asked for help.”
Mom Says Police Handcuff and Hit Teen with Autism While He Was Having a Seizure
“Suddenly a Caucasian police officer came in pushing my daughter and me and slammed my son David against the wall and started hitting him,” Lourdes wrote on Facebook. “The officer didn’t bother to ask what was going on and thought he was on drugs.”
The distressed mother claims that even after she explained her son’s condition, the office continued hitting and handcuffing him. “Even after we told him my son’s condition and my son screaming at them that they were hurting him and hitting his head this unfortunate man didn’t care.”
The Fresno Police released a statement to ABC 30, saying “this case is currently under Administrative Review. The review will include the examination of all the information pertaining to the officer’s contact including Body Worn Cameras.”
“He is only 16 years old; the only mistake he made was having a seizure,” David’s sister shared with CNN. David, who has experienced seizures since he was 5-years-old, is now home recovering from the incident. However, she added that her brother is not doing well.
A toddler in Texas was inspired to recreate her favorite scenes from Frozen after her neighborhood got some snowfall. And millions of people are loving it.
On February 5, mom Kristi Michele shared a video of her daughter, Madelyn, dressed up as one of the main characters and channeled her inner Elsa. The adorable video clearly hit a warm and fuzzy nerve with people. It’s now been viewed over 45 million times and shared more than a million.
Toddler Goes Insanely Viral After Mom Captures Her Performing ‘Let It Go’ From Frozen in the Snow
“Madelyn finally got some snow to do her scene,” Michele wrote. In the video, you can hear Madelyn singing along to one of her favorite songs, “Let It Go.”
But Madelyn doesn’t just show off her singing skills. The talented toddler also took on all of the choreography and nailed every move, including a number of dramatic hand gestures as she makes her way through the snow.
This is not the first time Madelyn has recreated one of the snow scenes from Frozen. However, unlike in this particular video, she typically has to pretend there’s snow in the Texas weather.
Just a few weeks ago, her mom shared another video of Madelyn practicing her “Let It Go” dance moves, but this time it was inside rather than outside in the snow.
This probably won’t be the last time Madelyn will be recreating her favorite scenes from her favorite movie and now the world can’t wait to see what moves she comes up with next!
Reality star, beauty guru, and SKIMS creator Kim Kardashian West believes her youngest son, 8-month-old Psalm West is her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., reincarnated.
In a new interview with E! News, the mom of four called Psalm “probably the happiest baby alive. He’s always smiling, always happy.” She also reflected back to a moment in her life when she interacted with a blind medium from Bali.
Kim Kardashian West Thinks Her Son Is Her Late Father Reincarnated
As Kardashian West explained in her interview, the medium told her that she “was gonna have another son and that it was gonna be my father reincarnated.” At the time she met with the medium, nobody, not even the crew, knew “I had a surrogate that was pregnant with a boy.”
And while she didn’t believe in reincarnation at first, Kardashian West admitted that enough has happened since Psalm’s birth that she’s starting to think maybe the medium was right. She recalled one specific story while talking with E! News:
“My baby nurse, I had to go out of town and I really needed her to come in,” she shared. “But she had a baby shower that she had to go to. And I said, ‘It’s okay, you can bring my son to the baby shower, if that’s okay with you.’ I really needed the help. She brings him to a baby shower, and a woman comes up to her and said, ‘Is this your son?’ And she said, ‘No, no, no, I’m just watching him.’ And she said, ‘Well, I just have to tell you, please tell their mom this is a family member of hers reincarnated.'”
Kardashian West continued, “Multiple people that had no idea that was my nanny or anything have come up to my baby to say that he’s a family member reincarnated. So my whole family, all the time, thinks it’s my dad and is just so emotional and close to him.”
Psalm is even left-handed like his late grandfather, she said, adding, that when he completed their family in May, his presence also brought peace between his two oldest siblings, North and Saint. “So, all these things happen. I don’t even know if I believe in reincarnation, but I do now. But I want to believe it!”
“Until you have kids, you don’t truly get it.” That’s what former Boy Meets World star Danielle Fishel said while a guest on the IGTV show called Moms In Cars hosted by Christine Lakin and Deanna Stagliano.
As Mamas Uncut previously reported, Fishel became a mom for the first time seven months ago. She and her husband Jensen Karp welcomed a son Adler into the world in June 2019. And while motherhood is exactly what she thought it would be, Fishel admits there was one thing that has surprised her.
Danielle Fishel Talks Motherhood During Moms In Cars Episode
“I think the thing that’s been the most shocking to me is I realize what a horrible friend I was to every woman I knew had kids. Because until you have kids, you don’t truly get it,” Fishel said while a guest on Moms In Cars.
As many who have followed Fishel’s birth story know, her son was born five weeks prematurely and spent his first few weeks on earth in the NICU. While talking with Lakin and Stagliano, Fishel dug a little deeper, talking about the moments before her water broke and after.
Fishel also updates fans on how her little bundle of joy is doing months after his birth and talks about her latest business adventure that is a haircare line. As we can all remember, Fishel’s Boy Meets World character, Topanga, had great hair and she still does all these years later.
Superstar Lady Gaga hasn’t always felt comfortable in her own skin. The singer’s mom, Cynthia Germanotta, recently opened up about her daughter’s battle with depression which began when her daughter was in middle school.
Germanotta was interviewed as part of Today’s digital series “Through Mom’s Eyes.” During her interview, the mom got candid about her daughter’s struggles with mental health issues, in part because of “severe bullying.”
Germanotta explained that as a child, Gaga—born Stefani Germanotta—was different than her peers. “In middle school, because she was unique, she started experiencing a lot of struggles,” her mom told co-host Shenielle Jones. “You know, feeling isolated from events. Humiliated. Taunted.”
Lady Gaga’s Mom Opens up About How She Dealt With Daughter’s Mental Health When She Was a Teen
Germanotta said that the constant ridicule caused the now popstar to “question herself and become doubtful of her own abilities.” It was then that “she developed depression. We tried our best as parents to help her, but didn’t know anything.”
Germanotta admitted that at the time she was at a loss on how to address her daughter’s depression. “I felt where I made mistakes was, I didn’t really know the warning signs to look for,” she said.
As People reports, Gaga has also been open about her mental health struggles, including her battle with PTSD. The singer hopes that by speaking about her past she can help fans dealing with similar challenges. The 33-year-old also opened up about being sexually assaulted at age 19.
She said in an interview with Vogue, “For me, with my mental health issues, half of the battle in the beginning was, I felt like I was lying to the world because I was feeling so much pain but nobody knew. So that’s why I came out and said that I have PTSD because I don’t want to hide – any more than I already have to.”
To help support more young people who are dealing with their own mental health issues, the mother and daughter duo created a non-profit organization called, Born This Way Foundation, in 2012. Germanotta said of the charity:
“It’s something that’s very, very personal to us and it goes back to the struggles Stefani had growing up. She envisioned a world where young people were better equipped to deal with struggles than she was.”
During an award show speech, Gaga said that she wished there was a place she should turn when she was dealing with bullying and depression as a teen. “I wish there had been a system in place to protect and guide me. A system in place to empower me to say no to things I felt I had to do. A system in place to empower me to say no to things I felt I had to do.”
Gaga continued, “A system in place to empower me to stay away from toxic working environments or working with people that were of seriously questionable character. There were days I struggled or couldn’t make it to work, and I don’t want that for other artists, or for anyone.”
Thirteen-year-old Logan Kavaluskis recently lost his father after a nearly decade-long battle with cancer. After an unimaginable loss, Logan received the belated birthday present his dad had planned for him before he passed away.
Logan’s dad, Joe Kavaluskis, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma (blood cancer) more than ten years ago, Fox 17 reports. Towards the end of his battle, Joe knew exactly what he wanted to do for son after he was gone.
Dad Surprises Son on His 13th Birthday With a New Puppy After Passing Away
In a video shared online, Logan is seen going into a pet shop to pick out a puppy for his cousin, or at least that’s what he was led to believe. In truth, though, Logan’s dad had picked out a Boston Terrier to give to his son for Logan’s 13th birthday.
Logan’s dad was allergic to animals, which meant the family couldn’t have one in the house while he was alive. So the father had arranged for his son to get the new pet after he passed.
Logan named the puppy Indie. “I think it’s probably the best gift, I’ve ever gotten, from my dad,” Logan told Fox 17. And Logan’s mom, Melani Kavaluksia, said the puppy has become a welcome distraction.
“So much love, and comfort, and distraction, because we can’t sit still,” Logan’s mom Melanie Kavaluksia told the news station. On the family’s GoFundMe page, they shared that Joe had been through multiple rounds of chemotherapy over the years.
At one point, Joe’s cancer was being well managed, though unfortunately, this particular type of cancer doesn’t go into remission. He passed away just five days before Logan’s birthday at the age of 47.
Logan’s mom told Fox17 that it was important to her and her family to focus on the positive as much as possible. And Joe knew that Indie would be just what his family needed to turn something so heartbreaking into something more positive.
(Trigger Warning: This article talks about miscarriage and may be emotionally triggering for those who have endured pregnancy loss.)
Hilaria Baldwin is opening up about the heartbreak she experienced after her most recent miscarriage. In a raw essay for Glamour, the mom and wife of Alec Baldwin shared the pain she felt after losing her unborn child in November, four months into her pregnancy.
Baldwin began, writing, “At four months (16 weeks), I went in for my regularly scheduled scan. As soon as the sonogram image appeared on the screen, I saw that my baby had died. There was no movement, no heartbeat. She was crumpled up, lifeless in my womb.”
As Baldwin subtly revealed, she and Alec were expecting a baby girl. As the mom wrote on Instagram in November 2019, when she first shared the heartbreaking news with her followers, she told her daughter, Carmen, that “this baby isn’t going to come after all…but we will try very hard to give her a little sister another time.”
Hilaria Baldwin Holds Nothing Back in Op-ed About Her Miscarriages
“I began to cry. The doctor told me to hold still as she tried to figure out what had happened. I couldn’t stop sobbing. I can’t remember much except that I got dressed, thanked everyone for their care, and asked for permission to go. I just began walking,” the mom of four continued.
The Mom Brain podcast host went on to explain the state of shock that she found herself in after receiving the tragic news. “I got in a cab at some point, making calls, scheduling a follow-up [dilation and evacuation surgery] and canceling work accordingly.”
Baldwin added, “I felt like I was in shock. I went into this appointment excited to see her and share pictures with my family and friends; I left needing to tell them all that she had died. It was a surreal turn of events.”
Months before the miscarriage she experienced in November, Hilaria was also open about the fact that she first miscarried back in April.
“In contrast to my spring pregnancy, this baby had a strong heartbeat. We were excitedly making plans — Carmen was setting aside her old clothes, and Alec and I dreamed about what it would be like to have a girl again after so many boys.”
The fitness instructor goes on to say that the pain of her second miscarriage was unlike anything she’d ever experienced.
“Even though I’d had a miscarriage before, I don’t think I could have fathomed how bad it could feel to have a miscarriage at 16 weeks. I had to go home and sleep with my dead baby inside me. I felt sick, sour in my belly, and so devastated. I kept waking up and thinking it must have all been a very vivid bad dream.”
The mom of four admitted that she “cried so much that my eyes were nearly swollen shut.” Baldwin wrote that she “didn’t know the body could make so many tears. This was a pain that I had never experienced before, and it felt suffocating.”
Then, in a truly relatable moment, Hilaria goes on to say that as women and mothers, we tend to blame ourselves when things go wrong. However, in those times of grief, it is imperative for women to be their own advocate and know that they “deserved to heal and to be happy again.”
“As a woman, in charge of housing and growing a baby, it’s easy to feel guilty — as if you did something wrong to cause the miscarriage, no matter how many doctors tell you that’s not the case. Sometimes it’s easier to make ourselves the enemy, to blame ourselves than it is to accept support and care.”
And part of Baldwin’s healing process was the ability to speak openly and freely about her miscarriage. As she wrote, women are taught to remain silent during the early stages of their pregnancy, and through “pain and confusion” of miscarriage. But as the mom wrote, “Reaching out to a support system is vital to our mental health and well-being.”
She then asked, “It’s 2020—why can’t we leave those fears in the past,” before adding, “However you process, do it with no shame and remember that you are not alone.”
Blac Chyna is not happy that her daughter Dream Kardashian allegedly took a ride on Kobe Bryant’s helicopter back in November.
The furious mama is blaming the father of her child, Rob Kardashian, and his sister Kylie Jenner for not asking her permission before taking her daughter for a spin and for reportedly “using” the tragic death of Kobe Bryant.
The parents have found themselves in a bitter custody battle following their split and this latest incident is only adding to the drama between the former couple. Chyna’s attorney, Lynne Ciani, released a statement to Entertainment Tonight regarding the report that Dream once rode in the helicopter that crashed in Calabasas on January 26:
Blac Chyna Issues Statement After Learning Daughter Went on a Helicopter Ride Without Her Permission
“Chyna has become aware that Kylie Jenner is using the tragic deaths of Kobe Bryant, his beautiful daughter, and seven other precious souls to profess her ‘distress’ that she and Dream had ridden on the same helicopter with the same pilot prior to Sunday’s horrific crash.”
Dream’s mom went on to say that she never granted permission for her daughter to take the helicopter ride. And according to the statement, the reality star would never have allowed the ride to happen in the first place.
“What Kylie failed to disclose was that Chyna never gave Kylie permission to take her precious daughter Dream on a helicopter ride and that Chyna never would have given Kylie that permission,” the statement continued.
“No parents should find out after-the-fact that their child has participated in a dangerous activity without their permission. Chyna was distraught to learn that Kylie had taken Dream on that helicopter ride in November 2019.”
The statement revealed that Chyna and Rob have since talked about the miscommunication. “Chyna voiced her strong objections to Rob [Kardashian] and insisted that it never happen again. Chyna sends her heartfelt prayers and condolences to all of the families impacted by yesterday’s tragedy.”
Along with NBA legend Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-old daughter Gianna and seven other people died in the helicopter crash that took place in Calabasas, California on January 26.
As Entertainment Tonight reports, the Kardashian-Jenner crew rented the helicopter for Dream’s third birthday and even shared photos on Instagram of the occasion.
Being a celebrity has a lot of perks like fame, fortune, designer clothes, and attending events where red carpets are rolled out just for them. But the best perk of all is people caring about every petty squabble, mean tweet, and cheap comment celebrities make. Celebrities definitely have a flair for the dramatic and that often gets put on full display when they start or escalate a feud. Celebrity feuds are an American pastime and just as entertaining as a football game. Fans get to pick a side and then cheer for their preferred personality. Things can get ugly, and unlike a ball game, fouls aren’t easily called. Let’s take a look at some of the weirdest (and more importantly: the most viciously amusing) celebrity shade. Here are 25 celebs who’ve gotten confrontational and even a bit nasty with other celebs.
The lifestyle moguls started beefing in 2014 after Martha Stewart slammed Gwyneth Paltrow for starting Goop. Martha told Porter Magazine, “She’s a movie star. If she were confident in her acting, she wouldn’t be trying to be Martha Stewart.”
The drama didn’t end there. After Gwyneth announced her split with Chris Marten, she didn’t use the word divorce, instead, she called it a “conscious uncoupling.”
Martha wasn’t too impressed and trolled Gwyneth by naming a pie recipe “conscious coupling” and publishing it in Martha Stewart Living magazine. Gwyneth decided to hit back with a recipe of her own. She shared the recipe for a “jailbird cake,” a reference to Martha’s time spent in prison.
Rappers Cardi B and Nicki Minaj got into a big fight (literally) at the Harper’s Bazaar ICONS by Carine Roitfeld party in New York City on September 7, 2018. After the police ended the brawl, Cardi shared a statement, “When you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are f–kin off!!”
Nicki denied everything in an interview on her Queen Radio show, saying, “I would never talk about anyone’s child or parenting. It’s so crazy to me that people always need to make [me] the bad guy. When you have to say that I said or did something that I never said or did … I am not a clown. That’s clown s—t.”
Then, Nicki escalated the situation further by accusing Cardi of calling black people “roaches.” She said, “You calling black women roaches, you getting girls beat up because of what your man doing,” she said. “Real b—ches never do that. You never attack the woman. You take that up with your f— man.”
Childhood friends Nicole Richie and Paris Hilton became reality TV stars together after they filmed The Simple Life in 2003. But, just two years later, at the peak of their fame, the friends turned to enemies.
“It’s no big secret that Nicole and I are no longer friends,” Paris said in a press statement in April 2005. “Nicole knows what she did and that’s all I’m ever going to say about it.”
Apparently, Nicole was jealous of the attention Hilton was getting. Hilton was being invited to parties and events, including a taping of “Saturday Night Live.” Nicole threw a party to ‘celebrate’ Paris’s SNL appearance. The party ended with a screening of Paris’s sex tape.
Things got dicey, but the two eventually did get over it.
“The short answer is I haven’t spoken to her in a while,” Nicole said on an episode Watch What Happens Live. “But we are very good friends and I love her and love her family and have a lot of respect for her.”
Rappers 50 Centand Ja Rule have been fighting with one another since 1999. Their latest spat happened in October 2018 when 50 Cent said he bought 200 tickets to Ja Rule’s concert to keep the seats empty. Ja Rule retaliated with some non-flattering, photoshopped images of 50 Cent he posted on social media.
Lauren denied the rumors and did her best to stay away from the couple until she finally left The Hills in 2009. Since then, Heidi and Spencer have apologized. But, they still maintain that the sex tape is real!
In an interview with Complex, Spencer said, “Lauren is a cold-hearted killer. That’s what people don’t get. She will cut you in your sleep. She tried to destroy us. If you want to throw missiles, I’m throwing a nuke. This is how I operate.”
Anjelica Huston & Jacki Weaver

Actors Anjelica Huston and Jacki Weaver got into a fight via the press in 2019. Anjelica was asked her opinion about Jacki’s film Poms and she had a strong one! “I’m looking for movies that impress me in some way, that aren’t apologetically humble or humiliating like, ‘Band of cheerleaders gets back together for one last hurrah,’ you know,” she said. “An old-lady cheerleader movie. I don’t like that kind of thing.”
Jacki clapped back by telling Vanity Fair, “I just laughed. And then I said, ‘Well, she can go f— herself,'” she said, adding, “I thought, ‘That’s a bit mean and petty.’ … I would say she must be going through menopause, but she must have had that ages ago.”
In 2003, actors Lindsay Lohan and Hillary Duff were fighting over a boy, Aaron Carter. Aaron was dating Hillary after they appeared on her show, Lizzie Maguire together in 2001. Aaron ended up leaving Hillary for Lindsey out of boredom.
Aaron didn’t last with Lindsey long and went back to Hillary. Lindsey was not having it! She accused Hillary of stealing her man.
Hillary told Allure, “I’ve never stolen anyone’s boyfriend! I don’t know how you do that!” Duff said. “She was talking about it and I wasn’t. It made us both look bad and put up a big weirdness.”
Superstar musicians Elton John andMadonnahave had a contentious relationship over the years. The pot seemed to boil over in 2012 at the Golden Globe Awards when Elton did an interview with Carson Daly. Elton was asked who had the best chance of winning the category of “best original song.” When Madonna’s name came up, he said she didn’t have a “f—ing chance of winning.”
Madonna responded by saying, “Those are fighting words.”
Powerhouse TV creator Shonda Rhimes and actor Katherine Heigl got into it after Katherine turned down an Emmy nomination for her role as Izzie Stevens on Shonda’s show, Grey’s Anatomy.
“I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination and in an effort to maintain the integrity of the academy organization, I withdrew my name from contention,” Katherine said in a statement in 2008.
Shonda fired Katherine from the show in 2010 after six seasons. Shonda later opened up to Oprah Winfrey about the Emmy nomination snub, saying that she wasn’t surprised by her actions. “On some level, it stung and on some level I was not surprised,” Shonda said. “When people show you who they are, believe them.”
Pop stars Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were rumored to be feuding in 2012 about John Mayer. It turned out the issue wasn’t over a boy, it was about business.
“[Katy] basically tried to sabotage an entire arena tour. She tried to hire a bunch of people out from under me. And I’m surprisingly non-confrontational — you would not believe how much I hate conflict. So now, I have to avoid her. It’s awkward, and I don’t like it.” Taylor told Rolling Stone.
Taylor went on to release a diss track, “Bad Blood.”
Then, Katy responded by telling Entertainment Weekly that when “women come together and they decide to unite, this world is going to be a better place.”
Funny television personalities Johnny Carson and Joan Rivers had a falling out in 1983. Joan became a permanent guest host of the Tonight Show and worked closely with Johnny for years until Fox offered her own show. Johnny was furious that Joan never contacted him for his advice or blessing. Joan denied Johnny’s claims.
“The first person I called was Johnny and he hung up on me — and never, ever spoke to me again. And then denied that I called him. I couldn’t figure it out. I would see him in a restaurant and go over and say hello. He wouldn’t talk to me,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.
Those supermodel beefs from the nineties were fun! Let’s revisit the Naomi Campbell and Tyra Banks affair. Tyra said that her and Naomi were pitted against one another when she first started modeling.
“The industry was saying, ‘Look out Naomi Campbell, here comes Tyra Banks, Naomi Campbell sit your butt down, this younger one is coming to take your place,'” E! News reported.
Tyra went on to explain that Naomi had her fired from jobs, said hurtful things behind the scenes, and was just an all-around bully. Years later, Tyra had Naomi on her show and Naomi “couldn’t remember” doing any of those things.
in 1994, actors Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte had a meltdown onset of the film, I Love Trouble. The two grew so frustrated with each other that they refused to film together and instead, filmed scenes with stand-ins.
The Los Angeles Times reported at the time, “Roberts reportedly wasn’t thrilled with Nolte’s machismo, so she would deride and insult her co-star. Some on the set claim that he became so annoyed with her attitude that he would do things to agitate her even more. The discord was so intense, the sources say, the two played more to stand-ins than to each other.”
After the film wrapped, Julia said, “From the moment I met him we sort of gave each other a hard time, and naturally we get on each other’s nerves. He can be completely charming and very nice, he’s also completely disgusting. He’s going to hate me for saying this, but he seems to go out of his way to repel people. He’s a kick.”
Nick responded by saying, “It’s not nice to call someone ‘disgusting.’ But she’s not a nice person. Everyone knows that.”
Apparently there was some serious drama on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Actors Will Smith and Janet Hubert-Whitten had a falling out so bad that Janet was replaced on the sitcom by Daphne Maxwell Reid in the role of Vivian Banks.
Janet was asked years later if she’d consider doing a reunion with the cast of the show and she responded, “I will never do anything with an a— hole like Will Smith.”
In 2017, Janet was shown a picture of the cast reunion and commented about the photo on Facebook, “I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.”
Actors from Sex and the CityKim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parkerreally do not get along. There have been so many rumors over the years about these two and the degree of their distaste gotten even more bitter in 2018. Kim was grieving the loss of her brother and took to Twitter to thank fans and former castmates of the show.
Sarah sent her condolences to Kim, but Kim didn’t want any it. She shared a message on Instagram that read, “I don’t need your love or support at this tragic time @sarahjessicaparker.”
“My Mom asked me today ‘When will that @sarahjessicaparker, that hypocrite, leave you alone?’ ” she wrote in the post’s lengthy caption. “Your continuous reaching out is a painful reminder of how cruel you really were then and now.”
Kim added she wanted to be “VERY clear” that she wants nothing to do with SJP.
In January of 2018, TV personalities Kim Kardashian and Lindsay Lohan (hello again, Lindsay!) got into a teeny tiny little fight online. Kim posted an image of herself with a new hairstyle that included some controversial braids. Lindsay commented on the post, “I am confused.”
Kim was also suffering from some confusion, she fired back, “You know what’s confusing… your sudden foreign accent.”
In March of 2016, Kim Kardashian (oh hey, Kim!) posted a nude selfie to Twitter and Instagram. The comments on the photo, of course, were divisive (divisiveness is the Kardashian secret sauce). Star, Bette Midler was not having it and went after the reality star on Twitter.
“Kim Kardashian tweeted a nude selfie today. If Kim wants us to see a part of her we’ve never seen, she’s gonna have to swallow the camera,” Bette wrote.
Kim responded on Twitter, “hey @BetteMidler I know it’s past your bedtime but if you’re still up and reading this send nudes #justkidding.”
Don’t come for Kim on Twitter and pray don’t ever catch Bette’s attention.
This instance should really only include actor Chloë Sevigny, who went out of her way to shade Jennifer Lawrence! In talking about some of her fellow actresses to V Magazine, Chloë said, “Jennifer Lawrence, I find annoying. Too crass.”
Back in 2013, celebs Lady Gaga and Kelly Osbourne got into it or rather, got deeper into it. It all started when Kelly criticized Gaga for not walking the red carpet at the 2009 Grammy Awards. Gaga’s fans did not like it!
In 2013, Gaga tried to bury the hatchet by reconciling with Kelly through Kelly’s mother, Sharon Osbourne. In short, Gaga gave Sharon a birthday cake for Kelly on TV (it’s as ridiculous as you might think).
Kelly responded by writing, “Not to be ungrateful but why would you send me a birthday cake via my MOTHER in a country half the (world) away? … #EatMyS***.”
The host of Watch What Happens Live Andy Cohen shared in 2013 that his least favorite guest on the show was Jillian Michaels, host of The Biggest Loser. Any explained, “She freaked out after the show and was so mean to my staff.”

Andy fired back, “This is the woman who screamed at people for a living on The Biggest Loser. She should stay in her own lane.”
The View’sWhoopi Goldberg responded to has-been Roseanne Barr after Roseanne posted a doctored photo of Whoopi at the Women’s March. The fake photo showed Whoopi wearing a t-shirt that had a vulgar image of the President superimposed on it.
Whoopi explained that the shirt she had actually been wearing said, “And you thought I was a nasty woman before? Buckle up, buttercup.”
Whoopi hit Roseanne again after she posted a racist tweet, “Roseanne. Just because you were caught with your pants down, don’t try to drag other people down with you,” Whoopi said. “You understand? Don’t do that … The bottom line is simply this: I didn’t fake my shirt, someone else faked my shirt. But that’s your tweet. That tweet came from you. So that’s yours. You did this to yourself.”
In August 2016, The Rock AKA Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram and posted a now-deleted rant about one of his costars from the Fast and Furious franchise. He said that he had “zero-tolerance for candy-a—s.” So who was the candy-a—? None other than actor, Vin Diesel.
The post was deleted and the matter seemed to be resolved, but Vin Diesel still had something to say about the rumor. He told the Today show “I don’t think the world really realizes how close we are, in a weird way. I think some things may be blown out of proportion. I don’t think that was his intention. I know he appreciates how much I work this franchise. In my house, he’s Uncle Dwayne.”
In September of 2017, Jane Fonda was asked by Megyn Kelly about her history of plastic surgery on live television. Visibly shaken Jane replied, “We really want to talk about that now?”
A few months later, Jane and Lily Tomlin were promoting their show, Grace & Frankie on the Today show. Lily made a joke that Jane and herself had been friends since their “first face-lift.”
“We don’t need to hear that. Who are you, Megyn Kelly?” Jane responded.
Megyn responded by calling the actor “Hanoi Jane.”
Megyn’s daytime talk show has since been canceled.
As part of the coverage of the 2015 Oscars, E! News enlisted the help of Fashion Police host, Giuliana Rancic to cover the red carpet. Actor Zendaya wore locs to the event and Giuliana criticized the 18-year-old actor’s hair saying her dreadlocks must have smelled like, “patchouli oil and weed.”
Zendaya responded on Instagram in a thoughtful post that said in part, “There is a fine line between what is funny and disrespectful. Someone said something about my hair at the Oscars that left me in awe. Not because I was relishing in rave outfit reviews, but because I was hit with ignorant slurs and pure disrespect.”
Giuliana eventually apologized for the comments on air. Both Kelly Osbourne and Kathy Griffin quit the show in protest.
Up until 2016, Kanye Westand Jay-Z had been friends and collaborators. But something changed, and while in concert in Sacramento, Kanye went on an infamous rant about Jay-Z saying, “Jay Z, call me, bruh. You still ain’t calling me. Jay Z, call me… Jay Z. Hey, don’t send killers at my head, bro. This ain’t the Malcolm X movie. We growing from that moment. Let ‘Ye be ‘Ye.”
Kanye went on to criticize Jay-Z for not calling after Kim Kardashian was robbed in Paris and not setting up playdates for their kids… It was weird.
Jay-Z hit back on his “4:44” album. In the song “Kill Jay-Z,” he raps: “You ain’t a saint / This ain’t KumbaYe / But you got hurt because you did cool by Ye / You gave him $20 without blinking / He gave you 20 minutes on stage / [What] was he thinkin’?”
In an interview with Rap Radar Jay-Z addressed the feud saying, “What really hurt me was you can’t bring my kid or my wife into it. You brought my family into it, now it’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem. And he knows it’s a problem.”
That was a whole lot of celebrity beef! We could never choose a favorite celeb feud because each one is uniquely annoying and stupid in its own special way. Feuds are fun because they generally don’t result in any real harm. Ultimately, they’re pointless. But, it’s always fun to watch actors, musicians, and other big personalities get into it and we are so excited for any updates on the bad blood between these folks.
A Russian company by the name of KrioRus (located just outside of Moscow) hopes to make the loss of a loved one not as painful.
KrioRus is the very first Russian cryonic project which translates to storing human brains and bodies in freezing, low-temperatures with the hope that someday, they will be able to resurrect the person.
Currently, KrioRus has 71 “patients” — the term the company uses to refer to the brains and cadavers that float in liquid nitrogen.
Both are stored at -320.8 degrees Fahrenheit in tall vats.
For those who are not familiar, cryonics is the idea that keeping all body parts, especially the brain, will allow the person to be revived in full capacity along with the same personality, knowledge and thoughts prior to dying.
The head of the Russian Academy of Science’s Pseudoscience Commission, Evgeny Alexandrov, believes cryonics is “an exclusively commercial undertaking that does not have any scientific basis.”

In both the medical and science communities, it is known for being a falsehood. Alexandrov continues, saying it’s “a fantasy speculating on people’s hopes of resurrection from the dead and dreams of eternal life.”
But for those who put stock in future technology, that dream could someday be a reality. KrioRus alleges that hundreds of potential clients from over 20 countries have signed up for their services.
According to Metro, it costs $36,000 to freeze an entire body and just $15,000 for the brain alone — but only for Russians. Prices are slightly higher for those who are non-Russian.
Today, China’s Foreign Ministry accused the U.S. of setting a poor example when it comes to spreading information about the coronavirus outbreak.
According to a ministry spokesperson, they stated how unreasonable it is for countries around the world to attempt to prevent people from crossing the borders.

In addition, the ministry called out the U.S. specifically, saying how instead of offering assistance to stop the coronavirus outbreak, it instead is just spreading panic.
“The U.S. government hasn’t provided any substantive assistance to us,” ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said.
“What it has done could only create and spread fear, which is a very bad example.”
According to experts, the dangerously transmissible coronavirus will quickly become a pandemic as numbers of those infected continue to grow in China as well as countries around the world.
By definition, a pandemic is described as a disease that spreads across a massive region across continents and also the entire globe. The coronavirus has been spreading at a similar pace to influenza according to the New York Times.
“It’s very, very transmissible, and it almost certainly is going to be a pandemic,” director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, revealed to the publication.

Currently, there are 11 confirmed cases in the U.S. as of Monday morning.
Six cases are in California, one in Arizona, one in Washington state, one in Massachusetts and two in Illinois. And while no deaths have been reported in the U.S. — 99 percent of cases remain in China.
This past Sunday, three more were said to be infected in California.
“I understand that people are concerned, but based on what we know today, the risk to [the] general public remains low,” shared Santa Clara County’s health officer, said Dr. Sara Cody. “A second case is not unexpected. With our large population and the amount of travel to China for both personal and business reasons, we will likely see more cases.”
On Sunday, the U.S. announced how Americans who traveled to China within the last 14 days would be sent to designated airports for enhanced screenings while foreign nationals who recently went to China would be denied entry aside from the immediate family of American citizens and permanent residents.
