What’s going on with Alex Cooper and Alix Earle?
Well, a pretty intense feud. But people obviously want to know more.
So does Cooper, she says, daring the Dancing With The Stars alum to come forward and explain their disagreement.
Instead of backing down, Earle is threatening to do just that.

On Monday, April 13, Alex Cooper posted a vague callout post in the form of a TikTok video.
The Call Her Daddy host condemned Alix Earle for what she called “passive-aggressive re-posts and likes” across social media.
“Just say it yourself,” Cooper challenged. “Because I’m really tired of waking up and seeing you using this fake drama to distract from other s–t going on. Not interested.”
Cooper taunted: “I know what happened and so do you, so talk. Unless the fake narrative that you’re creating happens to be way more interesting than the truth.”
She claimed: “I have nothing to hide when it comes to you and me, so unless you actually have something to say, I’m out. This is over.”

According to Cooper, the drama is a “waste of time.”
She expressed that it felt “embarrassing to participate.” And yet, she powered on through to post the video.
Cooper added that, in her opinion, this clapback was “long overdue.”
She again taunted: “Alix Earle, hey girl. … I’ve got to call you out here. You’re gonna need to get specific and just say what you’ve got to say about me.”
Cooper added: “There’s no NDA. No one is stopping you.”

Alix Earle saw the video. That’s not speculation.
In fact, she left a comment.
“Okay on it!!” Earle wrote.
That exclamation point is both ominous exuberance and, some would say, a threat.
When you dare someone to do something and they reply with sarcastic cheer, it can mean one of two things.

It is possible that Earle is planning to do exactly as Cooper suggests.
Previously, the Dancing With The Stars alum has re-posted unkind social media videos, such as one depicting Cooper as an “ambulance-chaser” and the “Grim Reaper.”
In fact, the feud rumors have circulated since last year, when Cooper’s media company dropped Earle’s podcast.
However, it is possible that Earle could go another route.
Rather than her friendliness being sarcastic, it is possible that her agreement was. Like it or not, people are seldom obligated to explain why they dislike someone.

As numerous social media commenters have already pointed out, Cooper’s post seemed like a vague shot across Earle’s bow.
Which seems sort of hypocritical, since she didn’t decide to share any behind-the-scenes drama with Earle, either.
It is possible that Cooper is waiting to see what Earle will say before she speaks.
Alternatively, it is possible that Cooper straight-up does not know what the beef is, and is just as curious at the rest of us.
In the meantime, Earle doesn’t have to tell anyone why she dislikes the Call Her Daddy host so much. But, if she wants people to take her side, she might want to be more direct.

Former Beverly Hills 90210 Jennie Garth has a new memoir out, and in it, she shares some shocking details about her personal life.
In excerpts published before the book hit stores, Garth revealed that she got her stomach pumped after overdosing on pills and alcohol during her divorce from Peter Facinelli.
Now that the full book has been released, we know that Jennie had a similar breakdown during her temporary split from her current husband, Dave Abrams.

Garth recalls one painful incident in which her daughter Luca, now 28, caught her engaging in self-harm.
“I was in my room smashing framed pictures of me and Dave, overcome by the pain,” Garth writes.
“I was taking the broken glass from the picture frames and I was trying to cut myself with the jagged pieces. I was certainly not in my right mind,” she continues, adding:
“It was almost an unconscious act, a form of punishment.”
In the book, Garth explains that her third marriage began to fall apart after she suffered four miscarriages and underwent grueling IVF treatment.
“Dave said he just had to get out of there, and so he did,” she writes.
She credits Luca with rescuing her on the night in question.
“She took the glass from me, and cleaned up, while I buried myself in my bed, covering up with blankets of shame. The next morning, I woke up and my self-hatred was at an all-time high,” Garth writes, adding:
“I was being so selfish and self-indulgent, and now I was terrified that I had caused irreparable damage to my relationship with my daughter.
“I was hurting my daughter by letting her see me like that. This was one of those regrets in life that stay with you forever. Luca said, ‘You can’t go on like this Mom. We need you.’”
Garth reveals in her book that, depite their reconciliation, Dave kept the manila envelope containing their divorce papers in his truck “for quite a few years”.
“I think it represented something profoundly freeing to him: He has a choice. To be together or to split. He can sign those papers anytime he wants. We all have free will,” she writes.

Garth says she struggled with the pressures of fame and began battling depression while she was still in her teens.
“For a long time, I thought needing help — needing medication — made me less than. It felt shameful to be on that kind of medicine as a young woman who seemed to be living the dream,” she writes of being on antidepressants.
“I carried the weight of feeling weak and somehow damaged through years of trying different medications. I tried them all, chasing balance and battling the belief that I shouldn’t have to. What I see now is that the real strength was in refusing to give up on myself.”
Jennie’s memoir, I Choose Me, is available online and in bookstores now.

Hannah Harper landed a spot in American Idol’s Top 9 following a performance of “Landslide” on Idol’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame-themed episode on Monday.
Harper and her fellow Top 11 contestants performed songs by legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees and were mentored by Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo.

For her performance, Harper did what she does best: gently plucked her guitar while delivering a standout vocal performance. She was accompanied by strings and let her vocals shine.
This performance once again drew praise from viewers.
“This was my favorite performance of any contestant the whole season. I knew Hannah would be amazing on this song but she exceeded all expectations. Just mesmerizing from start to finish. I hung on every word she was singing,” one wrote, while another shared, “Wow, star quality… I can see why America has fallen in love with her!”
While many fans praised her performance, others hoped to see her step more out of her comfort zone for this Rock & Roll Hall of Fame episode. Either way, she once again impressed and earned enough votes to advance to the next round.

Ahead of the show, Harper revealed a thoughtful gift and handwritten note she received from American Idol judge Carrie Underwood.
“Didn’t think my first piece of @tiffanyandco jewelry would come from @carrieunderwood,” she captioned the post. “But truly, the part that got me the most was the handwritten note. That meant more than anything. Just her taking the time to do that… it says everything about who she is. Y’all, she’s as down-to-earth and genuine as they come. Just a good, kind human. I love her dearly.”
At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Philmon Lee and Rae would be going home. The Top 9 was revealed to be: Keyla Richardson, Lucas Leon, Daniel Stallworth, Braden Rumfelt, Kyndal, Jordan McCullough, Brooks, Hannah Harper, and Chris Tungseth.
American Idol will return next week with the highly anticipated Disney Night, and 2004 Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson will return to the show as a guest judge and mentor.
This will mark Hudson’s first return to American Idol in 10 years and her first time mentoring contestants, helping guide the Top 9 as they perform iconic Disney songs with hopes to earn enough votes to earn a spot in the Top 7.
“Disney Night” on American Idol airs live Monday, April 20 from 8–10 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+. Episodes will be available to stream the following day on Disney+ and Hulu.
