Celebs react to Kellyanne Conway's 'alternative facts'
Celebs including Sarah Silverman, Andy Cohen and Lance Bass aren't feeling Kellyanne Conway's "alternative facts." Donald Trump's adviser used the phrase on "Meet the Press" over the weekend while debating the validity of reports the inauguration suffered a dramatic decrease in attendance from years past. "You're saying it's a falsehood and Sean Spicer, our press secretary, gave alternative facts to that," she said (via Us Weekly). "I don't think you can prove those numbers one way or another. There's no way to quantify crowd numbers." The show's host Chuck Todd reacted by saying, "Alternative facts are not facts. They're falsehoods," and the phrase quickly began trending on Twitter. "#alternativefacts is perhaps the greatest Real Housewives term I have ever heard. I can't believe we haven't heard it on a reunion," Andy Cohen tweeted, while Lance Bass joked, "As a member of the @backstreetboys, I had a love child with @BettyMWhite. #AlternativeFacts." Sarah Silverman didn't find anything very funny about the situation and shared, "Lies now called 'alternative facts' by trump admin," as Zendaya posted, "Alternative facts….didn't know that was a thing… a bit of an oxymoron." The New York Times reported that "Trump's crowd was significantly smaller and less than the 1.5 million people he claimed."

Selma Blair's mystery beau is Ron Carlson
Scratch those rumors Selma Blair is dating David Foster. The Daily Mail reports the actress has been involved with Daytime Emmy-nominated producer, Ron Carlson, since 2015. "Just a photo to say 'we love #coffee,'" Ron captioned an Instagram photo of the couple holding cups of the stuff on a stroll. "Not from home, made in a pot, but the event of going and getting that cup, taking the walk, judging or being judged while in line, the entire process. It is one of my favorite things… I never want it brought to me, that is a disappointment, I want to go and get it. #alfredcoffee#starbucks #thecommissary …thank you@therealselmablair for loving the exact same thing," he continued.
