Erika Jayne says she was joking about PK, Dorit Kemsley breakup

Image
Erika Jayne is backtracking on her comments about Dorit and Paul “PK” Kemsley’s marriage. After PK shaded Jayne on Instagram for claiming his marriage was on the rocks, the “Pretty Mess” singer commented on his post claiming it was all in good fun. “When did you get so sensitive? You know damn well I was joking..” the reality star wrote. Erika Jayne claims she was joking about friends PK and Dorit Kemsley’s potential split. Instagram/theprettymess Over the weekend, Jayne predicted her “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” co-stars would be the next Bravolebrities to divorce during a panel at BravoCon. After being asked which relationship was headed to “Splitsville,” the 51-year-old initially dodged the question, saying she felt “bad.” However, she quickly changed her tune and marched to centerstage before revealing “Dorit and PK.” PK and Dorit have both spoken out about Jayne’s comments.

Hochul denies crime's a problem but Hillary Clinton lets truth slip

Image
Hillary Clinton and Krazy Kat Hochul need to get on the same page concerning crime. Is it real, as Clinton seems to believe? Or is it, as Hochul has contended, an overblown campaign distraction — promoted by “master manipulators” and “data deniers” to derail her bid to become New York’s first elected female governor? Sisterly solidarity was the order of the day at Barnard College Thursday — with Hillary and Hochul standing shoulder-to-shoulder before a cheering, fully committed array of feminism-centric true believers. It was one of those late-campaign events where the hype is thick, where the rhetoric is hyperbolic and where the facts don’t really matter. How very odd, then, that Hillary let the truth peek through. Oh, for sure, the partisan newspeak was there — darkly threatening Republicans hide behind every tree in Hillaryland, and have for decades. But suddenly she slipped. “They don’t care about keeping you safe,” she said — they b...

Hochul, Albany would rather keep jails empty than let victims live

Image
Let’s get one thing straight. Keaira Bennefield would be alive today if her violent, predicate-felon estranged husband had been remanded after he savagely beat her inside her apartment a few days before he shot her. But he wasn’t remanded because Adam Bennefield caused only misdemeanor injuries and a judge could not set bail on him even though he had previously been convicted of a gunpoint kidnapping of two women and had served almost 15 years in state prison. Gov. Kathy Hochul either does not understand that or is afraid to anger the progressives in her party who wrote the disastrous bail reform laws that allowed this to happen. Either way, it’s pathetic. Hochul tried to blame the district attorney. But the DA leveled charges that were appropriate for the defendant’s actions at the time. Bennefield’s injuries were only misdemeanor injuries under New York law, although the experience was terrifying. Even if the DA had been able to raise the charges ...

Letters to the Editor — Nov. 5, 2022

Image
The Issue: Gov. Hochul’s response to rising crime in New York City and across the state. If my memory is correct, Gov. Hochul campaigned together with Hillary Clinton and Vice President Harris in her bid to keep her seat in Albany. The emphasis of Hochul’s campaign was abortion worries. On that same day, Carl Phanor allegedly assaulted, raped and robbed an innocent female jogger. (“Homeless rape menace,” Nov. 4). This should give everyone cause to reflect on how broken our criminal-justice system is. How insulting that Hochul denies crime is an issue in New York and spins out a new conspiracy theory about it. Martin Garfinkle Staten Island The unspeakable crime that occurred in Buffalo — the killing of Keaira Bennefield by her husband — and Hochul’s disgraceful reaction to it are two of the most utterly despicable things I have ever seen (“Gov’s blame excuse,” Nov. 3). For the governor to blame it on the system that she has suppo...

The Masked Singer fans 'work out' Rhino's identity as X Factor winner | TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Image
TV personality and panellist David McCall went on to point out how Rhino seemed "humble". She said: "Rhino has been particularly emotive. There are people who completely draw you in. "It’s lucky for Rhino, actually, that they can pull some emotion out of the bag, because it's very, very hard in that costume to give us anything at all. They are massive, and they are quite humble. "They keep putting their little hooves together, it looks so sweet. If it's possible to have a sweet rhino, this is it." So could it really be the former X Factor winner James Arthur behind Rhino? The Masked Singer UK continues every Saturday at 8pm on ITV. Source
