THE WEEK THAT WAS

Charlene Heezen is the manager of the international version of Amayzine (yes yes, we have that too). She has a big beating heart for anything entertaining and updates you every week. 

Caitlyn’s big night

It’s all about Caitlyn Jenner these days. The eyes of the world are focused on her day and night. And this week we heard something from her. The former Olympic champion was awarded the Courage Award at the ESPY Awards for her ‘demonstrated bravery and courage in the sports world’ and gave a fantastic acceptance speech, which put the madness surrounding her persona into perspective. What was special was that – with the exception of Rob Kardashian – all her children were present: the K-clan, but also his eldest daughter, Cassandra, son Burt, Brendan, and Brody. The kids were also emotionally thanked in her speech, as well as her mother, 89 years old and also present in the room. Caitlyn wore a cream-colored evening gown by Atelier Versace. The kids, including partners, all went for all black everything.

Whoopi drops Bill Cosby

Whoopi Goldberg was about the last celebrity to continue defending Bill Cosby since the allegations of sexual abuse started pouring in against father Huxtable. The actress even had a hard time dealing with the fact that she didn’t turn against him, until this week. In her talk show The View she concluded that it is very plausible that the comedian is guilty. “I have to say that all the information that is now on the table indicates that he is guilty.” Reports that Bill Cosby allegedly admitted under oath to drugging a woman in 2005 had already surfaced a week earlier. To be continued.

Brody pops the Hills bubble

It’s a bit like Sinterklaas. You know it’s fake, but it’s so fun to believe in. The Hills were ‘scripted’, we knew that but the love was real, right? No, it wasn’t. Brody Jenner popped one of the last The Hills-bubbles this week, by revealing in an interview with Yahoo that he has not had a real relationship with any of the cast. “That was the hardest part. I got all sorts of things thrown at me because I supposedly slept with Audrina, Lauren, or whoever. I was called a male whore and I couldn’t argue against it. I wasn’t allowed to reveal that it was all fake, so I just had to let those accusations wash over me.” The only romance that did actually happen was with Kristin Cavallari, but that had already occurred before the filming of The Hills even started.

Sisterlove by Balmain

Balmain launched a spectacular new campaign for this fall this week featuring 3 pairs of power sisters, namely Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Joan and Erika Smalls. Head designer Olivier Rousteing wanted to pay tribute to the unconventional love between siblings. The brothers Armando and Fernando Cabral are also featured in the campaign. Kris and Yolanda can at least give each other a high five.

Bridget is back in cougar town

Bridget Maasland is currently having a great time with Allard van Santbrink and since this week everyone can know that. The presenter was photographed last week during a dinner with her new flame and immediately gave her colleague Evert Santegoeds the green light to break the news about the young romance. “It’s the first time in a long time that I think it could actually become something,” says Bridget. The couple met at a party at Evert's house.

Waylon in love again

Not even two months after his breakup with Joëlle Witschge, Waylon announces he is in love again. This time his lawyer and former Miss, Archana Mahabiersing, is the lucky one. The singer's management confirmed on Thursday that there is a budding relationship between Waylon and the 29-year-old brunette from Haarlem.
