Anthony Bourdain's Final Days Become More Clear — Photos Surface Of Final Tandem Bike Ride TV Segment Filmed In France For Parts Unknown

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 06:59 PM PDT

We're starting to learn more about Anthony Bourdain's final days, and an image has surfaced that appears to be one of the final pictures ever captured -- if not the final one -- of Bourdain, taken just a day or two before he ultimately died from an apparent suicide.

The picture, posted earlier this week to Instagram, shows Bourdain riding a tandem bicycle with friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert during a filming day for his show Parts Unknown.

The show's crew can be seen in their own tandem bicycle alongside, filming as Eric (at the front of the bike) and Anthony (behind him) ride on along in the town of Colmar, in eastern France (below):

Just two days after this light-hearted, fun-seeming moment, as we previously reported, it was Ripert who found Bourdain dead in his hotel room.

That location is not even an hour away from where this bike ride went down, BTW.

So sad.

R.I.P., Anthony.

Anthony Bourdain's Ex-Girlfriend Mourns His Passing With Short, Touching Message

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 06:03 PM PDT

It's been very obviously difficult for friends and loved ones of Anthony Bourdain to wrap their heads around his death today, as we've seen, but it's perhaps hardest for those who knew him best -- like ex-girlfriend Paula Froelich.

Froelich, a columnist, mourned the 61-year-old's passing from an apparent suicide by sharing an old picture of the pair to her Instagram account just a few hours ago, along with a short, sweet message about Bourdain.

Here's what she had to share for the public as she mourned the CNN travel host's death (below):

To a good man, a great friend, a loyal love. That's all I'm going to say.A post shared by Paula Froelich (@pfro) on Jun 8, 2018 at 5:27am PDT

So sad...

But it wasn't all for Froelich, who later took to Twitter to comment about suicide and depression, as well.

You can read her tweet thread about the issues, and mental health awareness in general, below:

Wow. Well said.

That's serious, serious stuff that deserves a second look, and much thought from all of us.

Kim Kardashian West opts to take sides with her husband, Kanye West on Team West -- along with, among others, KKW's longtime friend Jonathan Cheban -- and they face off against Team Kardashian, who is being led by a very vocal (and, at the time they filmed this, a very pregnant!) Khloé Kardashian!!

In a brand new clip that made its way to the public today, you can see those two -- Kim and Khlo -- go up against each other in front of Steve Harvey where they actually refuse to shake hands!!!

This rivalry is fierce!! Ch-ch-check out the humorous exchange (below)!!

Ha!!!

Nothing better than Khlo with an attitude, calling out her sisters for any number of things!!

As for Kim, she's said in the past that she's a big-time Family Feud fan, revealing this in an interview about the episode (below):

"Kanye and I are the biggest fans of Family Feud. Kanye said he's waited his whole life for this moment, Family Feud. We're playing against the Kardashian Jenners vs. the Wests. And I have a really good feeling about this, that we're going to win."

Got that right?!

Kanye has waited his whole life for this episode of Family Feud.

Oooooookay! LOLz!!!

ICYMI: Drake's Dad Weighed In On The Rap Beef With Pusha T, And His Quote About It Is AMAZING!

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 04:29 PM PDT

Drake's dad is... well, he's sure something, all right!

The very public rap feud between the Canadian former DeGrassi star and Pusha T has raged on around us for a few weeks now, and while Kanye West himself has publicly called for an end to the feud, Drake may not be done yet.

Related: Scott Disick Goes Back To His Old Ways... Kinda...

Regardless, Drake's dad, Dennis Graham, has his own HIGHlarious thoughts about the rap battle -- and he's not afraid to share them!

ICYMI, when TMZ caught up with Dennis earlier this week on the street of West Hollywood, the proud papa said the most ridiculous thing about the rap feud between the two artists, telling the paparazzi media outlet (below):

"I don't know Pusha-T. I don't know anything about anybody named Pusha-T. If I did, I would push their T."

We... uh... what the fuck? What does that even mean?! LOLz!!

It's the perfect dad response to a rap feud... nonsensical, but also cute; hilarious, but also strange. We don't know what it'd mean to push somebody's T!!! Does anybody?!

Full vide of that little interchange can be seen below, FYI:

LOLz!!

What a world we live in...

Man Pronounced Dead After Being Found Unresponsive In Car At Bonnaroo Music Festival

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 03:49 PM PDT

Tough news late this week coming out of Bonnaroo Music Festival in Manchester, Tennessee.

Authorities and festival organizers are reporting that a 32-year-old man has been pronounced dead after he was found unresponsive in his car early this morning at the festival campground site in Tennessee (general Bonnaroo crowd pictured, above).

Authorities have identified the man as Michael Craddock.

No cause of death has been determined, though festival organizers say "dozens" of people have already been treated for heat-related issues at the festival. Per reports, the man's car was running when authorities located him, and the heat was on inside the car.

A spokesperson for the Coffee County (TN) Sheriff's Department confirmed police do not suspect foul play, while festival organizers released a statement to the media (below):

"The safety of our patrons is our highest priority, and our sympathies go out to his family and friends."

Sad stuff, during what should be such a happy time for so many festival-goers and music-lovers.

Our thoughts and prayers, too, are with the man's family, friends, and loved ones.

Val Kilmer Stirs Controversy With 'Angry' Open Letter At Anthony Bourdain's 'Selfishness'

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 03:21 PM PDT

There have been a lot of reactions to Anthony Bourdain's sudden passing.

None, however, have been as angry -- or attracted as much controversy -- as that of Val Kilmer.

The Top Gun star wrote an open letter about how suicide was "selfish" -- and that he and others who knew him were "selfishly angry" at the late chef for leaving them.

Related: Bourdain's Best Friend Who Found Him Dead Speaks Out

He ponders many things aloud in the lengthy post, including whether Anthony "cheated on his girl" or whether he would have chosen suicide if he'd faced the hardship of throat cancer as Kilmer had.

You can read the entire thing and a few offended responses (below):

"Oh the darkness.

Oh the dark thick pain of loss. The selfishness.

How many moments away were you from feeling the love that was universal. From every corner of the world you were loved. So selfish. You've given us cause to be so angry. A spiritual guide once told me suicide is the most selfish act a human can execute and I was confused but she explained there's just no mental place further away from humanity and purpose than the hypnotized numbness that creates the false picture of despair, that forces the victim, unaware, to believe, life's legacy is over. That there is no more service. No more task. No more love left to give to another to to be given. Nothing to heal.

On a cloudy day that is so cloudy it's one large mask of grey, does it mean there are no more clouds or parting of clouds, ever? Or that the burning life giving sun is not on its way or that it is already there is ones powers of imagination and perception will only open like with the ease of a child's mind, open to see and feel the peace and reassurance if the heat and light that buried and the light that annihilates the shadows that frighten, that may have even been until moments ago absolute proof that there were no there are no monsters in the room.

So what? I hear you took your life in paris. What hotel? Did you relapse? Did you just get home from the best meal of your life? Did you cheat on your girl. Those of us that knew you are shocked and angry and angry and angry selfishly angry, for what you just did to us. Millions I should think. At least a million people like me who imagine they know you. Some imagine they know you even well. But you heard that phone ringing, you felt it buzzing in your coat or pants pocket, vibrating a million times, but you didn't answer it. You let it ring out. Did you bleed out? Did you suffocate? Did you jump. No you didn't jump. Is it important we know how you did it? No. But that you did it. One of the tentative titles of my new studio is Bourdains. Because you've come to realize and exemplify a steady however dim hope, that history is bending towards justice. Would you have taken your life two years ago when like me you were unable to take in food and move it with your tongue over your taste buds because your tongue was too swollen? Is too swollen. I think and dream and plan on eating and tasting and enjoying every meal I've ever enjoyed and every meal I've learned to enjoy in my imagination, Altho I've never met a meal I didn't like in the last 40 years except anything with too much cilantro. Was that it? You woke up and realized you were no longer hungry. And that even with a young daughter at home you would never be hungry enough again to want to take in breath.

Was your father's hate so still so present as to cloud over every last sunny moment of every single damn day Anthony. Oh darkness. My prayer before the light breaks this morning of June 8th, is that it doesn't ever again fool another warrior like you, who chased the hot slice of momentary satisfaction around the world 15 times, but found no reason for 16. Anthony Bourdain killed himself. At least you had that beer with Obama on a busy street in Vietnam, in a plastic seat, with your favorite type of meal, spicy noodles and goop, and he gave you hope, I saw it in your eyes when you asked him, as if you were 12, to your father, "Are we going to be all right?" And Obama reminded you and us all that history is not written in a straight line. But yet it is written. And it bends towards justice. You found and showed us pockets of freedom from individuals around the world, from your pirate ship of tv and with a crew of brilliant writers producers camera and sound people, assistants, executives and lawyers who saw you clearly and loved you dearly, and went the extra mile on paper, to enable you to walk there, in the rain, before daylight, and waiting for the sun, reflect quietly on the pageantry, about to unfold. You could have and should have given it one more shot. Sometimes we must live in service to another's life and live with no hope of equality. Life isn't fair that way. Who says you had a right to take away all this love from us so soon? Oh the darkness. The darkness on the edge of town. "There's a darkness in the edge of town..."

You left too soon my friend. I fell asleep to watching you enjoy Uruguay last night. It was a rerun but I always find something I didn't see before... you left too soon. And I'm going to prove it..."

While some commenters told Kilmer they felt the same way, others were appalled at what they saw as badmouthing the deceased and misunderstanding mental illness.

They wrote:

- "Done with following you. This is very disappointing to see such hateful words. Mental ILLNESS is just that...an illness. These types of opinions and words would never be spoken when you had cancer.

- "Wow just wow it's attitudes like this that make having this invisible illness deadly!
Selfish you have no clue what it's like then to have this illness and be in a place so dark and desperate that you feel the world would be better off without you in it!
I regret going to your art show and wish you could refund my purchase as im disgusted by every word here!"

- "Suicide has nothing to do with selfishness. Your "spiritual guide" was wrong and didn't know what she was talking about. Take it from someone who knows; people who are in that dark place more often than not believe they're doing the world a favor by removing themselves from it. Nothing else makes sense but to end life. Stop adding to the stigma, please. You never know what is happening in someone else's mind."

Kilmer has responded to a few comments, defending his statement:

"I'm angry because I love him and what he stood for."

Khloé Kardashian Fights Back Against Mommy Shamers!

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 03:02 PM PDT

Khloé Kardashian refuses to be mommy shamed!

Earlier this week, the KUWTK star took to her app to share a "total lifesaver" product that she's using to supplement feedings for True Thompson, the Baby Brezza Formula Pro One-Step Bottle Maker (priced at $180).

The new momma wrote:

"Technically, I don't need something like this because I breastfeed, but because I don't produce enough milk, I also have to give a bottle with every feeding. And, with the formula I use, I have to give True the bottle within 30 minutes of making it, so it's amazing to have this machine make it for me. It's super easy to use — and fast, so when I'm exhausted and can't even keep my eyes open in the middle of the night, it's a total lifesaver."

When a fan applauded her on Twitter for speaking on something so many women can relate to, the Good American co-founder revealed her struggle with people criticizing her every parenting move:

We're not in the mood to deal with anyone being mean. Let's just all be kind to each other, K? You don't know what someone is going through or the battles they're facing.

KoKo, keep being the best momma you know how!

Posted: 08 Jun 2018 02:51 PM PDT

It's one thing to report on the death of a beloved entertainer -- it's another when it's someone you knew.

CNN's Kate Bolduan just couldn't hold it together speaking about her friend and colleague Anthony Bourdain, who hosted Parts Unknown for the network for 5 years.

And watching her (above), you might not be able to either...
