Scottie & Larsa Pippen May Reconcile, Says Rep: ‘They’re Texting Nonstop’

Kim Kardashian's BFF may not be left in the cold after all. As Radar readers know, Kim Kardashian‘s best friend Larsa Pippen was recently delivered a vicious divorce filing from husband of 19 years, basketball legend Scottie Pippen. But now, a rep for the star revealed the couple could still reconcile, insisting the breakup occurred after a fight over Scottie’s hopes to land an ESPN gig in Chicago. “The tension between [Scottie and Larsa] started months ago,” Larsa’s rep said. “I’m fairly certain they’re going to make up. He’s sending her messages. They’re communicating. I don’t think they’re going to pull the trigger. He was saying, ‘I miss you. Let’s talk.’ She’s feeling the same way. When it rains, it pours, but Scottie’s at a different place. She’s at a different place, and they’re just figuring it out.” PHOTOS: Suicide, Divorce & Other Scandals!

Trump hits hard at 'Obamacare' after gloomy report

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump poses for photographs during an campaign event with employees at Trump National Doral on Oct. 25, 2016, in Miami. Hoping for a potent late-campaign issue against Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump declared Tuesday that "Obamacare is just blowing up" after the government projected sharp cost increases for President Barack Obama's health care program. Just two weeks before Election Day, the New York businessman addressed the health care development during an appearance at one of his Florida golf resorts that highlighted the extraordinary intersection of his business and political interests. His message in a state he described as a "must-win," was somewhat scattershot, leaving questions of how well he and his party can capitalize on a revived emphasis on "Obamacare." "We're down in Florida. We're at Trump National Doral. And it's one of the great places on earth," Trump said

Waves of cyber attacks hit Netflix, Spotify, Twitter

If you live on the East Coast and had trouble accessing Twitter, Spotify Netflix, Amazon or Reddit Friday morning, you were not alone. SAN FRANCISCO — At least two successive waves of online attacks blocked multiple major websites Friday, at times making it impossible for many users on the East Coast to access Twitter, Spotify, Netflix, Amazon, Tumblr and Reddit. The first attacks appear to have begun around 7:10 am Friday, then resolved towards 9:30 am, but then a fresh wave began. The cause was a large-scale distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) against Internet performance company Dyn that blocked user access to many popular sites standstill. Football to opera: One man's unlikely story of success Dyn reported the sites going down at around 11:10 a.m. UTC, or roughly 7:10 a.m. ET, posting on its website that it "began monitoring and mitigating a DDoS attack against our Dyn Managed DNS infrastructure."

Black Mirror’s ‘Shut Up and Dance’ Is a Horrifying Thriller

David, I agree with you that the ending of “Playtest” fell flat. After so many twists (bullies! spiders! spider bullies! Terminator hookups!), the end didn’t evoke pathos so much as a sense of absurdity. In terms of focusing on the evils of technology, though, it seems to me that  Black Mirror  has always seen technology as something with the potential to enable and encourage human evil, rather than something that’s inherently evil by itself. It takes our worst instincts as people, as societies, and magnifies them. Hence episodes like “Shut Up and Dance,” seemingly set in the present like “The National Anthem” and “White Bear” and “The Waldo Moment,” all of which imagined scenarios so plausible that two of them have apparently come true. It’s that familiarity that makes them so disturbing, and “Shut Up and Dance” upset me more than any other  Black Mirror  episode to date. In  Mirror -land, the most nightmarish situations seem to occur when all the people involved are devoid of

Chrysler's mysterious limo spotted in trailer for new Wolverine movie

A Ram Rebel and a Dodge Challenger police car feature, too. Way back in the warm, sunny days of June, we reported on a rather strange looking Chrysler-badged limousine spotted during filming for the latest installment in the  Wolverine saga. Now, with the first trailer for  Logan  (or  Wolverine 3 , if you prefer its informal name) hitting the internet, we're getting another look at the odd limo, along with a few other offerings from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. There's a flock of "Federal Police" Rams and a spinning, bluish-green Rebel – we're guessing Wolverine and Professor Xavier stole it from some kind of work crew – judging by the gold-ish decals on the door and the work box in the bed. Our look at the Chrysler limo isn't great, although it does appear in two scenes of the trailer. We're thinking these shots are connected, and here's why. Our first sighting comes in a cemetery, where the hulking limo sits in the background while Wo

Presidential Debate: What to Watch For

Share Tweet Email More Save Continue reading the main story Donald J. Trump has had possibly the most dismal October of any presidential nominee in recent history — and the month is just more than half over. Facing accusations of sexual harassment and criticism for vulgar and demeaning comments toward women, Mr. Trump limps into Wednesday’s debate, the final one against Hillary Clinton, with polls showing him losing in nearly every state he must win. Stand-ins for the presidential debate during preparations at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Credit Much can happen in politics over three weeks, and this election has been full of surprises. But by lashing out at the news media; criticizing Speaker Paul D. Ryan, his party’s highest-ranking official; and claiming without evidence that the electoral system is “rigged,” Mr. Trump appears less intent on finding a path to victory than on grasping for scapegoats to explain away an eventual loss.

See 'Melania Trump' Defend Donald Trump's Leaked Tape on 'Colbert'

"If Billy Bush can manipulate Donald Trump, we've got to keep President Trump away from heavy hitters like Mario Lopez," Colbert says "Melania Trump" appeared on Tuesday's 'Late Show' to blame the leaked tape controversy on the "left wing media, international bankers and Billy Bush." After Melania Trump gave her first interview in months to defend Donald Trump's behavior on the leaked  Access Hollywood  tape, actress Laura Benanti parodied her on Tuesday's  Late Show.  Benanti as Melania blamed the controversy on the "left wing media, international bankers and Billy Bush." "So let me get this straight: Melania's defense of Donald Trump, the man who wrote  The Art of the Deal , is that he got outmaneuvered by a guy who has been deemed by the  Today  show to be unqualified to watch someone else make a festive fall frittata. If Billy Bush can manipulate Donald Trump, we've got to keep President

BELLA THORNE AND TYLER POSEY MOVE IN TOGETHER AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF DATING (EXCLUSIVE)

It’s been less than a month since  Bella Thorne  and  Tyler Posey  began  dating , but  In Touch  has learned the  DUFF  actress has already moved into the  Teen Wolf  star’s home. “Bella had to move in with Tyler because her ex,  Gregg  [ Sulkin ], threw her out of the home they shared,” a source reveals of Bella, who split from the  Wizards of Waverly Place alum in August after a year. “She really wanted to stay in the house, but Gregg didn’t want her as a roommate, especially since she was the one who ended things.” Bella may not want to get too comfortable in her new digs. “She moves way too fast in relationships,” the source adds. “She could easily change her mind about Tyler, too.”

MELANIA TRUMP DOESN’T WANT YOUR SYMPATHY

Donald Trump  took the stage in Wisconsin on Monday night, hitting his now-familiar end-of-campaign themes: the election is rigged, the media is dishonest, House Speaker  Paul Ryan  is out to get him. Meanwhile,  Melania Trump , the candidate’s press-shy third wife, was at home in their gold-crusted triplex atop a Fifth Avenue building that bears her last name, though she was in much less familiar territory. She was answering a series of serious but kindly asked questions thrown at her by CNN’s  Anderson Cooper  in the wake of the  Access Hollywood  tape in which her husband is heard boasting about groping women and trying to bed married women while she was pregnant with her son, and the deluge of women alleging that Donald had sexually assaulted them over the span of two decades. With three weeks until Election Day, Donald Trump needed his wife’s help. His poll numbers have slipped, the narrative has turned, and any momentum he had has halted. Other than a few appearances
