Jennie Garth is ‘chomping at the bit' to flee LA
During an interview with Fox News Digital, Garth explained that the recent Pacific Palisades and Altadena Fires have nothing to do with her desire to flee the city. Garth and her husband, Dave Abrams, fled Altadena during the Eaton Fire.
Thankfully, their home was not affected by the fire, but they did stay with Garth's ex-husband, "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli, for precaution.
"I've always wanted to move out of L.A. I mean, fires or no fires. I'm ready to move out of L.A. I've always been chomping at the bit," she said.
Garth primarily works from home. She has her iHeart podcast, "I Choose Me," which focuses on "the ultimate form of self-care and self-love."
Her very first "I Choose Me" live event was held in Los Angeles on Feb. 8 at the iHeartTheater, which focused on female empowerment.
"I've always wanted to move out of L.A. I mean, fires or no fires. I'm ready to move out of L.A. I've always been chomping at the bit."
Garth told Fox News Digital that she can do meetings, press and run her clothing brand all from her computer, so she doesn't feel tied down to the city.
"So right now, it's a matter of getting my senior daughter graduated, and then my husband settled into a rhythm with his new bar that he can leave town a few days a week and I can be gone."

Garth has three children who she shares with her ex-husband: Luca, Lola and Fiona.
"So I really love L.A. I've always had, like, a love-hate [relationship] with L.A. I hate the traffic. I'm not fond of all the people. Too many people for my preference, but I love it. It's so beautiful, and it's just so magical and creative. And the beauty is one of the things that has kept me here and the different variations of landscape here," Garth continued.
She explained that she's a "big nature person" and wants to move to a place surrounded by trees and without a city feel. Garth has ruled out the Midwest, where she is from, but would be open to living in Whitefish, Montana, or Colorado.
Before the 52-year-old actress rose to fame starring as the wealthy and popular Kelly Taylor on the hit 1990s series "Beverly Hills, 90210," she was raised on a horse farm in rural Illinois.
The "What I Like About You" alum opened up about her upbringing in an interview with Fox News Digital in 2023.
"I think a lot of people definitely don't associate me with a Midwestern lifestyle," she said. "They think Beverly Hills, which is not me at all."
Garth continued, "That's a character I played, and it was a lot of fun, don't get me wrong. But I grew up on a family farm where we gardened and we mowed our yard and we cleaned up after the horses."
"We rode horses," she recalled. "You know, we did all the work. And my parents were educators, and they did so much. And I think one of the most important things they taught me is that there's nothing I can't do."
"If the toilet breaks, I'm going to try to fix it before I call the plumber. You know, that kind of thing."

Garth, who is the youngest of seven children, shared that her parents, John and Carolyn, also taught her and her siblings to be frugal.
"I don't believe in spending money when you don't need to," she explained. "I believe we all work hard for our money, and I want to have money that I can give to my children and continue to provide for them even when I don't have to."

Kim Kardashian Might Take Legal Action Against Bianca Censori for Copying Her, Claims ‘Source'
Kim Kardashian seemed to have lost patience with her ex Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori. She allegedly blamed the latter for imitating her during her latest sultry appearances. According to a source, Kardashian might take legal action against the Australian architect for 'copying her every move.' Initially, the reality TV star ignored people's 'lookalike' remarks, but now she finds Censori's behavior 'creepy.' Kim Kardashian and Bianca Censori might lock horns if the SKIMS co-founder took legal action. The business mogul claimed that her ex, Kanye West's wife, copied her outfits in her recent public appearances, according to a RadarOnline source. 'Kim's been disturbed for ages by how far Bianca's willing to go for attention and how close it is to her own looks and social media posts,' the insider said. Kardashian now believes that Censori's moves are not 'flattery' anymore; instead, 'it's obsession and copyright infringement in her book.' Just weeks after Kardashian and West's divorce was finalized, the latter married Censori in 2022. Since then, the new celebrity wife's fashion reportedly transformed into something similar to the reality TV star's. To provide an example, Censori donned a nude bodysuit in her recent Beverly Hills outing with her husband. While her bodysuit appeared to be a SKIMS product, her long shiny hair looked like Kardashian's. The 'Keeping Up With Kardashians' star kept mum for a long time, but now she finds Censori's behavior 'creepy, calculated and, frankly, desperate.' According to the source, West's wife might have crossed the line with her intentions. Meanwhile, the mother-of-four has been thinking of 'sending a cease and desist' to Censori. 'But her team is cautioning against it strongly as they say the last thing she needs is a court fight with Kanye,' the insider added. A few days ago, Censori grabbed attention once again when she stepped out in a lingerie made of candies. She flaunted her bold look while visiting a Brooklyn studio with West. The post Kim Kardashian Might Take Legal Action Against Bianca Censori for Copying Her, Claims 'Source' appeared first on Reality Tea.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck make surprising ‘business decision' after finalizing divorce: report
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck took their $68 million Los Angeles marital home off the market after finalizing their divorce. The 'On the Floor' songstress and the 'Argo' star made the financial move after not finding a buyer for the Beverly Hills estate since putting it up for sale in June 2024. 'While they've been hoping to sell the property, they've also been hesitant to take a big loss,' an insider told People Wednesday. 'They lowered the price to get more interest and when this didn't happen, they were advised to take it off the market,' the source continued. 'It was a business decision that they made together.' The real estate insider told the outlet that 'it's a rough sellers market and especially for that price point.' 'Taking it off the market until it's more of a seller friendly climate seems like the smartest decision,' the source added. Reps for the duo weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. Lopez, 55, and Affleck, 52, tried to sell their property off-market in June 2024 before listing it publicly that July. The pop star and the actor had dropped the 12-bedroom, 24-bathroom home's price to $59.95 million before officially pulling it off the market. Lopez filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 after two years of marriage. They had waited to officially pull the plug on their relationship despite having been separated since April of that year. Their divorce was finalized in January. Affleck, meanwhile, purchased a $20.5 million mansion in the Pacific Palisades in July 2024. His new pad is close to his kids — Violet, 19, Seraphina, 16, and Samuel, 12 — whom he shares with his ex-wife Jennifer Garner. For Lopez's part, she picked out a $18 million home in Los Angeles in March.

Blanketed in Meaning: The Great Elephant Migration Reaches a Ceremonial Finale in Beverly Hills
On Friday evening, in the heart of Beverly Hills, a convoy of brightly decorated trucks—festooned in traditional Indian lorry art—pulled into the Eva and Marc Stern Arrival Court at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Inside them: 100 life-sized elephant sculptures, made not of stone or bronze but of a humble invasive plant. This was the final stop of The Great Elephant Migration—a 5,000-mile public art journey that has moved through cities, tribal lands, and national parks across the United States—and the elephants arrived swathed in something new: more than 70 bespoke blankets, created by designers and Indigenous communities around the world in a ceremonial offering called 'Wrapped in History.' Photo: Victor Arriola/ Photo: Victor Arriola/ The sculptures themselves are the work of the Real Elephant Collective, a sustainable, community-owned enterprise of 200 Indigenous artisans from India's Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Using Lantana camara—an aggressive weed that chokes native forests—the artisans spent years handcrafting each elephant based on a real-life counterpart. Bulls, cows, calves, and tuskers were shaped with anatomical precision, their forms bent and woven from dried reeds in a process as environmentally conscious as it was emotionally resonant. The stop in Los Angeles marked the first time the Real Elephant Collective had joined the US tour in person—representing a powerful reunion between creator and creation. Ruth Ganesh, Kristin Davis Photo: Victor Arriola/ Photo: Victor Arriola/ Since debuting during the pandemic in London's Hyde Park, the herd has trotted through Newport, Manhattan, Miami Beach, Jackson Hole, and more. But Los Angeles was something different: a ceremonial close, a new artistic layer, and a powerful gesture of reverence. 'Blankets are wrapped around members of the community as a sign of respect,' said Ruth Ganesh, the UK-born conservationist and co-creator of the project. 'This echoes traditions across many Indigenous cultures, where blankets symbolize protection, honor, and belonging. In the context of the Migration, each draped elephant becomes a living monument—wrapped in collective memory and care.' Photo: Victor Arriola/ Photo: Victor Arriola/ The idea for the blanketing was born last fall, during an All Night Smoke hosted by the Blackfeet Nation, where Ganesh saw elders and guests alike arrive wrapped in traditional blankets. What followed was a new curatorial initiative led by Indian designer Vikram Goyal, who invited collaborators from the worlds of fashion, Indigenous craft, and textile heritage to create ceremonial pieces—each infused with ancestral motifs and messages of coexistence. Kristin Davis Photo: Victor Arriola/ Olubi Mairumbi, Karin Betts, Luke Maamai Photo: Victor Arriola/ 'In Indigenous cultures around the world, blankets hold profound significance,' said Goyal, who contributed his own design. 'They are often intricately woven with traditional patterns and colors, representing a tribe's history, identity, and spiritual beliefs.' Goyal's blanket took inspiration from his repoussé metalwork, translating a gilded wall sculpture—based on a 17th-century Rajput manuscript called The Book of Dreams—into an embroidered textile layered with symbols of good fortune: the Gajaraja (Elephant King), Gajasimha (Elephant-Lion), blackbuck antelope, and parrots in a flowering tree. Other contributors to 'Wrapped in History' included Ralph Lauren, Tarun Tahiliani, Sabyasachi, Diane von Furstenberg, Johanna Ortiz, Ozwald Boateng, and the Navajo Nation, alongside India's craft communities and schools like Chanakya, whose women artisans stitched together a textile map of India using techniques drawn from the Deccan plateau to Assam. 'Craft has always evolved within contemporary frameworks,' Goyal noted. 'Textile has long led by this example.'
