Jen Psaki Good Burn & All ... But These Parody Accts. Aren't Me!!!
Jen Psaki has been spreading proverbial burns all over Twitter lately -- that is, if you're dumb enough to believe it's actually her ... which the real McCoy is here to clear up.
President Biden's ex-Press Sec. -- who recently stepped away from the role -- made some apparently needed clarifications over a string of tweets that have popped over the past couple weeks ... with snarky messages aimed at the GOP, and trying to pass them as hers.
Hate to disappoint, but…This is not my account. This is not approved by me on any level. (And there have been a number of these in the last few weeks) Anything with “Parody..” in it means it is someone tweeting with an image and twitter account that looks like me and is not. https://t.co/ZryHqPWeXH

The tweets are being peddled by an account called Follow Plz? Faith Back Rub, which notes it's made for satire. At any rate, it seems to have been spreading these phony Psaki bombs.
One in particular that's made the rounds this weekend is about Biden falling off his bike and the need for kneepads ... invoking Donald Trump and Putin. After going viral with people apparently giving her kudos for the diss, the actual Jen Psaki set the record straight.

She writes, "Hate to disappoint, but…This is not my account. This is not approved by me on any level. (And there have been a number of these in the last few weeks)."
JP adds, "Anything with 'Parody..' in it means it is someone tweeting with an image and twitter account that looks like me and is not." You'd think that wouldn't need saying, seeing how most of the tweets have "Parody" written in -- but fake news never sleeps.

Some on Twitter claim to have personal insight into Psaki's psyche, suggesting while this isn't her -- she's probably thinking this privately. Others have noted she's too classy for all that ... but the truth is ... none of these people actually know her or what she thinks.
All the same, good on Jen for distancing herself from these ... they're cringe anyway.

Khloe, Tristan and True Let's Not Talk about that Show ... Break Bread with Family
Khloe Kardashian has hard feelings for Tristan Thompson, at least when it comes to romance, but she's clearly not letting that stand in the way of co-parenting their child.
Khloe and Tristan got together Saturday with 4-year-old daughter True in tow for lunch after a dance recital.
Their destination -- the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas. They weren't alone either, which makes this even more interesting. Kris Jenner, Kylie and Travis Scott along with Khloe's nieces Dream, Chicago and nephew Psalm were all there, breaking bread or whatever at the table.
By surface glances, they all seemed to be getting along. Khloe eviscerated Tristan on a recent episode of the Kardashian's Hulu show, but she's able to somehow compartmentalize things --- they're not only co-parenting ... they also seem to be friendly. Remember, that episode was shot a while ago, so things had time to reset.
ICYMI, Khloe unloaded her feelings about Tristan on Kim during the show, first with Kim telling her sister, "If that were me and I was really trying to redeem myself and I was trying to be a better person, I would definitely keep my d*** in my pants." Khloe agrees, "You would think, you either wear a condom, get a vasectomy or you don't f*** random people that you meet in other states."
As you know, Tristan had a kid with Maralee Nichols, who got pregnant while he and Khloe were still together.

Charlie Sheen Denise Convinced Me ... I'm Down with Sami Joining OnlyFans
Charlie Sheen has done an about-face with daughter Sami ... now saying he's withdrawing his objections to her OnlyFans account.
Charlie was initially pissed off that the 18-year-old joined the X-rated site, but his ex-wife proved persuasive in changing his mind. Denise Richards supported Sami's decision from the jump, but Charlie begged to differ. He's now changed his mind saying, "Denise has illuminated a variety of salient points, that in my haste I overlooked and dismissed," this according to Us Weekly.
Sami's dad went on ... "Now more than ever, it’s essential that Sami have a united parental front to rely upon, as she embarks on this new adventure. From this moment forward, she’ll have it abundantly."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
It's interesting ... Denise and Sami haven't gotten along during much of the time Sami was growing up, and Charlie and Denise had a rocky relationship at best, but now they're presenting a united front ... this after Sami made it clear, she's now an adult and can make her own decisions.
Charlie's daughter announced that she would be joining the X-rated service earlier this month, prompting her father to express his disapproval.
Sami's already made her move on the platform, posting a pic of her Friday, almost naked laying on a bed.
Denise and, yes, Charlie have had their own wild days, and she acknowledged it in a lengthy post ... "Lots of negative comments on my social this past week. I have to say, I wish I had the confidence my 18 yr old daughter has. And I also can't be judgmental of her choices. I did Wild Things & Playboy, quite frankly her father shouldn't be either."
Sami has corralled 2,800 followers on the site ... charging $19.99 a month to follow her.

Roe vs. Wade Protests at Amy Coney Barrett's Home Blood and Dolls Symbols of What's to Come
As the decision over the fate of Roe vs. Wade looms, pro-choice activists descended on the home of conservative Justice Amy Coney Barrett Saturday ... dressed in blood-soaked clothing and holding dolls.
The group -- members of Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights -- traveled to the Justice's home in Falls Church, Virginia. The blood on the crotch area of their clothing symbolizes forced births if Roe is overturned.
There have been other demonstrations at the homes of other conservative justices, and it may well ramp up because the decision is expected any time now. Unless there is a radical shift, it seems the Court is poised to overturn the 50-year-old precedent, which gives women a Constitutionally-protected right to an abortion with certain ground rules.
One protest became ominous recently, when Nicholas Roske was arrested for attempted murder ... this after cops found him carrying a gun, ammo, a crowbar and pepper spray near the home of Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
As you know, a draft opinion leaked last month, with 5 justices -- a majority -- signing off to squarely overturn Roe. There's talk Chief Justice John Roberts will try to temper the decision so Roe is not squarely overturned, but that seems more like a pipe dream given the strong language used in the draft opinion.

Bam Margera Recent Split From Wife ... Caused Him To Bounce From Rehab

Bam Margera has another crisis on his plate besides recently fleeing rehab -- although they're related -- we've learned a split from his wife played a big part in his decision to leave the facility.
A rep for Bam tells TMZ ... he and his wife Nikki Boyd broke up a couple of weeks ago. Since then, he hasn't been able to get ahold of her or see his son, Phoenix Wolf. We're told she has not responded to any of Bam's calls or texts, and has been absent from his recovery process.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Due to the separation, Bam was staying at a sober living home when he made his unauthorized exit from rehab. We're told he held it together for a while, but after not hearing from Nikki or his son for 2 weeks ... he showed poor judgment and left the treatment center.
We're also told the facility wasn't giving him special celeb treatment -- which isn't a bad thing, but in the past others have, so that set him off too.
TMZ broke the story ... the "Jackass" star was reported missing Monday after leaving the FL rehab center, and cops went looking for him.
When they found him on Wednesday, a crisis intervention team went into a Delray Beach hotel and escorted him back to treatment. He learned Nikki took Phoenix out of Florida without telling him, and voluntarily went back to treatment.
Last year Nikki filed documents in Los Angeles seeking full custody of their son, allowing Bam supervised visitation.
We obtained photos of Bam out Tuesday night at a few bars close to his hotel. We're told he'd been off his medication for several days, and his team was worried he'd relapsed.
The good news is he's back in treatment.

"Jeopardy!" champ Amy Schneider says she's gonna take Fox Sports at its word, that they did not intentionally cut out her first pitch at a Giants game celebrating Pride Day at the stadium.
Amy tells TMZ ... "They say the reason they misled their viewers was for cross-promotion, not anything to do with me, so I'll take them at their word." The director of the broadcast reached out to her personally to apologize and reiterate it had nothing to do with her identity. She believed him and accepted his apology.
Fox Sports refused to show Jeopardy champ Amy Schneider throw the first pitch on Pride Day during their coverage of the Giants/Dodgers game. Schneider is a trans icon with the 2nd longest winning streak in Jeopardy history. Here's a clip of her pitch:pic.twitter.com/wgopQZOak1

ICYMI, Amy, the 1st openly transgender "Jeopardy!" champ, was invited to throw the ceremonial first pitch at the Dodgers/Giants game. Problem was ... Amy's pitch never made air. Instead, Fox Sports ran another first pitch from several days earlier ... at the hands of Kurt Busch.

Fox Sports said the video of that pitch was part of a promotional package for an upcoming NASCAR race in Northern California.
They made it clear ... the intention was not to disrespect Amy, adding first pitches are rarely aired on the Network during games.
Amy Schneider's 'Jeopardy!' Win Streak Ends
There are doubters on social media who aren't buying the story, but Amy is taking the explanation at face value.
BTW ... the pitch was better than lots of other celebs, bouncing just short and a bit outside of home plate.

Despite getting into a physical altercation with an overzealous fan on a plane in April ... Mike Tyson is still flying commercial -- telling TMZ Sports he's got no worries about similar situations in the future.
We got the legendary boxer on his way to what appeared to be another commercial flight at LAX on Friday ... and had to ask -- is he at least somewhat concerned about flying with normies going forward just three months after he punched a man on a plane for annoying him.
Tyson, though, said it's absolutely not crossing his mind ... telling us, "No way!"
The 55-year-old former fighter insisted he's more zen now.
"You know about [my weed brand] Tyson 2.0?" Tyson said. "That's what I'm about now, man. I'm all about Tyson 2.0."
It's interesting ... because Tyson previously said his wife was urging him to strictly fly private now.
As for the advice he'd give to celebs who will deal with similar overly excited fans like the one he faced in April -- Iron Mike said there's only one solution ...
"Love them."

'RHOC' STAR'S SON JOSH WARING Busted for Fentanyl, Meth Possession Cops Say He Was Dealing
-
Exclusive
- 855 shares
The son of ex-"Real Housewives of Orange County" star Lauri Peterson is allegedly dealing drugs ... at least according to prosecutors who claim he was angling to sell fentanyl.
According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Josh Waring is facing criminal charges from an arrest back in January, including felony possession and the sale of fentanyl, plus a misdemeanor charge of methamphetamine possession.
Orange County Sheriff's Dept. sources tell TMZ ... a deputy saw Josh in the passenger seat of a car, recognizing him from a prior drug arrest. The deputy was aware Josh was on parole for an assault, which meant the cop could conduct a random search, which he did, and allegedly found drugs right on Josh's lap.
Our sources say the deputy saw Josh brush the drugs onto the car's floorboard ... drugs later identified as fentanyl and meth. We're told Josh was arrested on the spot and taken to jail. As for why he was charged with the sale of fentanyl ... it's because of the amount found.
As you know, Josh has a history of legal troubles ... he was arrested back in 2016 when he was accused of shooting a man outside a sober living home. Josh spent 4 years in jail, where he was once ambushed and assaulted by another inmate who was wielding razors wrapped in towels -- the attack was caught on video. He was later released on parole.
Now, Josh could face more time behind bars.

Rep. Dan Crenshaw Accosted at TX Convention 'Eyepatch McCain'!!!
Rep. Dan Crenshaw was confronted and heckled by a group of people who don't seem to like his positions within the Republican party -- stooping to hurling nasty insults at the guy.
The U.S. congressman appeared Saturday at the 2022 Texas State Republican Convention within the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston ... and at one point, he was accosted by a rowdy bunch of protesters as he ascended an escalator onto the main floor.
Check it out ... Alex Stein -- who's a right-wing media personality -- tries to bum-rush Crenshaw, whose staff pushes him back. All the while, he's screaming "eyepatch McCain!"
Stein is filming the entire encounter, which becomes very hectic, and it appears he gets into a bit of a scuffle with one of Crenshaw's people. The Representative himself never appears to be touched, and simply carries on along his path ... smirking at Stein and the others.

Aside from the "eyepatch" barb, another man films him as well ... calling him a globalist, a RINO and a sellout. When Dan vanishes from the scene, you can see yet another guy come into frame, who appears to shout something to the effect of, "Dan Crenshaw is a traitor, he needs to be hung for treason."
Reports say some of these guys ran into law enforcement eventually as they were being asked to leave and ushered out, but it's unclear if any arrests were made in the end.

Camilla Parker Bowles Duchess Gets Real About Charles ... In New Vogue Interview
Camilla Parker Bowles is on her way to becoming Queen Consort -- and now, a new milestone ... landing the cover of Vogue, where she's opening up about, well, everything.
The Duchess of Cornwall sat down for a profile piece with British Vogue for its July issue -- the first time she's ever been featured on the magazine as the centerpiece ... and the interview didn't disappoint, especially on the subject of her husband, Prince Charles.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The story touches on Camilla's engagements and the constant work she does/orgs she's involved with -- and she says she won't stop even after PC becomes King. Other cool takeaways ... CPB plays Wordle with her grandkids, and is apparently quite good!
Now, when it comes to her hubby -- and the years of scandal/gossip surrounding her romance with him in the '90s, when Princess Diana was still alive -- the Duchess says ... "It’s not easy. I was scrutinized for such a long time that you just have to find a way to live with it. Nobody likes to be looked at all the time and, you know, criticized." She adds, "But I think in the end, I sort of rise above it and get on with it. You’ve got to get on with life."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Camilla also addressed how she and the Prince of Wales maintain their relationship nowadays, especially since they seem to be busier than ever ... she says they make do.
HRH explains, "[W]e do always try to have a point in the day when we meet,” she says of her routine with The Prince of Wales. “Sometimes it’s like ships passing in the night, but we always sit down together and have a cup of tea and discuss the day. We have a moment."
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
She goes on to describe how, at times, she and Charles will just sit quietly and read their own respective books in different corners of the same room -- and takes pleasure in that.
Not much else was discussed about their affair in the '90s, but as the author notes ... Camilla has garnered a great deal of goodwill among the general public over the years, and is now seen as a legitimate would-be Queen ... that is, only when QE2 eventually passes.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
One could argue that Meghan Markle has claimed the throne as the least-liked Royal -- at least in the U.K., it seems -- but the reasons for that are ... controversial to say the least. In any case, Camilla is turning 75 this year -- and she sounds ready for the next chapter.

Kim K & Kanye Attend North's Basketball Game ... No Pete In Sight

Exclusive
- 5.2K shares
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West seem to be on much better terms than some might think -- especially amid Pete Davidson's continued integration -- because the exes reunited again.
Check out these photos, obtained by TMZ, which we're told were shot Friday at a multi-purpose gym facility near Thousand Oaks, CA ... where their eldest daughter, North, was playing in a league basketball game for kids around 7 PM.
There's mom and dad in the stands ... looking on as North does her thing with her team. They weren't even that far apart -- just a row back from one another, in very close proximity.
Eyewitnesses tell us they did speak from time to time throughout the evening, and appeared to be cordial. Neither parent made a big scene by cheering or much of anything else ... we're told they looked like they were just trying to lay low and just watch North together.
This is definitely a good sign of successful co-parenting, which Kim and Kanye had already shown they can do without issue. Remember, they did this exact sort of thing back in March when they hit up Saint's soccer game in the same crew. There, too, they looked OK.
That was during a time when Kanye was raging online as Pete and Kim's relationship was getting more serious ... but since then, he's calmed down a lot and been mostly silent.
Of course, much has changed in the months that have followed ... including the undeniable fact that PD has not only met Kim and Kanye's kids, but has gotten pretty close with them as well -- evidenced in a recent one-on-one outing he had with their son at The Grove.
When people saw this ... they figured Ye might flip his lid again, but based on this latest outing between the two parents, something tells us everyone's on the same page now.

Bill Cosby Civil Trial Jurors Must Restart Deliberations Nearly Reached Verdict!!!
Bill Cosby was minutes away from hearing his fate in a civil trial that's been ongoing for a couple weeks now -- but he got a reprieve ... apparently because of budget cuts.
During Friday's court date in Santa Monica, Judge Craig Karlan -- who's presided over the case -- told jurors they'd have to restart deliberations from scratch Monday -- all 'cause of a weird way the day ended, including the foreperson being excused over a previous promise.
Long story short ... the jury had deliberated for 2 days prior to Friday, when they handed in their verdict form -- with answers to 8 of the 9 questions asked of them. The 1 they hadn't decided unanimously ... whether BC acted with malice, and deserved punitive damages.
They might've been able to head back in to decide that the very same day ... if it wasn't for Sheriff's deputies demanding the court clear the room at 4:30 PM, due to a required closure time. Word is ... there's no approved budget for overtime, so they gave everyone the boot.
The other issue ... the lead juror had been given the green light much earlier to skedaddle on Friday -- which is when they expected this would all be wrapped up. This juror, it seems, had a prior commitment ... and can't stick around any longer, including to come back and hash this out on Monday. As such, an alternate must fill in -- and the jury has to start over.
BTW, this case is all about a woman named Judy Huth ... who's alleged Cosby sexually assaulted her at the Playboy Mansion in 1975, when she was 16. He's denied her claims.

Ezra Miller One Last Go-Around as 'Flash' ... Nixed Thereafter: Report

Ezra Miller is apparently on the outs with Warner Bros. Discovery amid a tumultuous time -- a new report suggests this is the embattled actor's last outing as DC's fastest superhero.
The 'Flash' star is said to be getting the boot after this final time starring as Barry Allen in the yet-to-be-released flick (which is already in the can) -- meaning they won't reprise the role going forward in the DCEU ... this according to Deadline, which seems to have softened its position, but is still suggesting they're a goner.
Zaslav’s First Movie Crisis: What To Do With Ezra Miller, The Erratic Star Of Warner Bros’ $200M ‘Flash’ Franchise Launch https://t.co/TMJKZ9YMHG
— Deadline Hollywood (@DEADLINE) June 18, 2022 @DEADLINE
Here's what Deadline first said about Miller's future ... "In (David) Zaslav's plan to make DC an explosively successful division like Marvel under his newly structured studio, with its own new boss, the non-binary identifying Miller, we hear, is simply not a part of those plans going forward in the future universe regardless if there are more allegations or not."
Deadline has since revised its story to read ... "Sources said even if no more allegations surface, the studio won't likely keep Miller in the Flash role in future DC films. That would mean replacing him in the future, but there is still a $200 million investment on the line with the first film and Warner Bros execs have to be cringing at each new press report."
Indeed ... they hedged on the off chance WB keeps them around. But, by most accounts -- including from other reporters who say they've confirmed the news -- it appears Ezra's nixed.
Essentially, Warner is praying no more negative headlines emerge about EM ... but on the issue of the ones that have surfaced thus far -- a source told Deadline, "There is no winning in this for Warner Bros. This is an inherited problem for Zaslav. The hope is that the scandal will remain at a low level before the movie is released, and hope for the best to turn out."
The saga is far from over. Not only have the parents of 18-year-old activist Tokata Iron Eyes filed for a protection order against them -- albeit, without success as they can't find Ezra to serve them -- but a second protective order was reportedly issued this past week in favor of the mother of a 12-year-old child out of Massachusetts ... who has her own claims against them.
Amid all this chaos, Miller reportedly posted a series of memes that some interpreted as mocking the authorities, who are trying to track them down. Then, they deleted their IG.

FWIW, Iron Eyes says she's fine and that her parents are wrong -- but nonetheless, people are deeply concerned ... and it appears both Ezra and TIE are off the radar.
Meanwhile, it sounds like Warner's made a decision. And there may still be more to come.

Disney's Buzz Lightyear Park Mascot Turns Into a Real Boy!!! ... Er, Space Man, Rather
Buzz Lightyear has a new look at Disney Parks -- instead of the classic toy costume we're used to seeing when their in-house mascots roam around ... now, he's much more lifelike.
The change was announced this week by Disney's official Laughing Place social media page -- which handles all their park news. As you can see, Buzz isn't made of plastic anymore ... he's an actual human being dressed in a space suit -- and not just that, but he talks!

It seems Disney timed this roll-out with the release of Pixar's "Lightyear" flick, which just hit theaters Friday. Indeed, it was that exact day that this real-life Buzz showed up at Tomorrowland within L.A.'s Disney HQ. Makes sense ... y'know, future-y vibes, etc.
As for how new Buzz interacts ... he's still in character as an out-of-place astronaut who doesn't recognize our world, in search of intelligent life -- just like in 'Toy Story.'

— Patrick Dougall (@PatrickADougall) June 17, 2022 @PatrickADougall
The strange thing, of course, is that he's missing Buzz's classic purple space cap -- which usually makes him look like a professional swimmer -- and his signature wings. The colors are also kinda dull ... AKA, no green/purple anywhere to be seen. So, interesting iteration.
Lastly, you might notice that this Disney Parks Buzz doesn't really sound like the classic Tim Allen character -- or even Chris Evans for that matter. Namely, no deep all-American voice.
To infinity and beyond?
