The girl featured in the clip, “Caitlin Heller,” is actual professional stuntwoman Daphne Avalon. It got over 9 million views in six days on just one YouTube account. But don’t worry, I’m sure real teen girls are setting themselves on fire in twerking accidents all over the country. [ABC News]
Selma Blair apologizes profusely for having to eat and hopes you can forgive her.
“This is why I can’t lose my baby weight, because I ate crepes, I ate French toast, I ate an ice cream cone, I had french fries, and three hamburgers!” she said. “Then I’m going to go and have a full dinner with my son. Then I’ll go out again tonight.”
Blair says her problem is that she’s “really always hungry” and she wishes she could curb her appetite. “It’s terrible and I don’t like what it does to my body, believe me, because I’m not one of these people that’s like, I can eat whatever I want, whenever,” Blair explained.
How about an iced tea? It’s from Long Island. [Us Weekly]
Howard Stern and Robin Quivers shocked Sirius XM listeners yesterday morning when they revealed the truth behind Robin’s absence from the studio for the last 15 months — she had been undergoing chemo, radiation and two surgeries (one was 12-hour-long) to battle a nearly-fatal bout of uterine cancer. The tumor had spread to all areas of her pelvis, said Quivers: “They couldn’t even figure out how to operate at one point because it was so massive.”
Stern: “I’ll be honest, I thought she was a goner. I was freaking out. Doing a show without Robin is like cutting off my left arm. Or my right arm. Or maybe both. She was my backbone, you understand. Where I would lose courage, Robin always had the courage. She always is the brave one. Always the brave one with me. I could go to her, and I could always rely on her.”
In May, when Quivers told Stern she was going in for bladder surgery, Stern “I’ll f—king kill you if you have cancer. I’m not doing the show without you… I’m quitting if you’re not doing the show.” I love them. I love their fucked-up Frasier dynamic. Haters gonna hate. [Us Weekly, NYDN]
