Amber Portwood is hoping that the second time is the charm. Or, to perhaps be more specific and accurate, she’s hoping that the second Gary in her romantic life ends up being her Prince Charming. The Teen Mom standout has taken on a new lover. Not a lot was known about this individual, except his first name is the same as her ex-boyfriend, Gary Shirley. But now he’s made it onto the show and the Teen Mom gang has THOUGHTS. Amber Portwood attends the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards at The Forum on August 27, 2017 in Inglewood, California. (Getty Images) Amber Portwood’s New Boyfriend: Meet The New Gary “She met him on a dating app four months ago,” an insider told Us Weekly back in January 2024. That’s when the pair go together and have been going strong since. “They are taking their time getting to know each other, but it’s getting serious.” At the time, all that hd been confirmed about this second Gary was that he resided in Indianapolis, the same town as Amber. Amber Portwood has been going through some through times. For many years now. (MTV) Unlike past men Portwood has dated, Gary never watched Teen Mom. He wasn’t familiar with Portwood’s past before they met, the source explains. “All the guys Amber has dated before she met on social media and were fans of the show,” the report states. “This new man in her life has actually never seen Teen Mom so she feels she can finally date in the way she’s always wanted to.” Well, he’s likely seen the show now — since he just made his debut in the new season. (MTV) Amber Introduces Her New Boyfriend To ‘Teen Mom’ Pals During the Thursday, June 6, episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Amber showed up in a group Zoom with her costars, including Cheyenne Floyd, Maci Bookout and Catelynn Baltierra. As the conversation got underway, Amber welcomed in her new man. “This is my boyfriend,” Amber said as Gary popped into the chat, officially making his debut on the MTV show. “We are now officially a couple.” Her boyfriend gave the ladies a smile, before introducing himself, “Hello everybody. My name is actually Gary believe it or not.” The irony was not lost on the cast and some even couldn’t help but laugh. “Maybe this is the Gary for you,” Jade Cline joked during the call. Amber quickly replied, “It seems like it.” Amber Portwood is pictured here on the very first episode of Teen Mom OG in 2020. (MTV) Amber’s Rocky Road Back To Normal Over the past couple of years, you see, Amber has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. She was accused last summer of bloodying her son’s lip and of refusing to bathe him, allegations that came out amid her ugly custody battle with ex Andrew Glennon. “Petitioner genuinely fears for the minor child’s safety in Respondent’s care and believes that it would endanger the child’s physical health and well-being and significantly impair the child’s emotional development for Respondent to exercise parenting time at this time,” Glennon told the court last July as he attempted to limit Amber’s time with son James. “Petitioner believes that it is in the child’s best interest that Respondent’s parenting time with the minor child be suspended immediately pending further Order of this Court.” Amber Portwood tries to set the record straight on her arrest in this scene from Teen Mom OG. (MTV) Glennon was granted permission by a judge last year to move to California with James, leaving Portwood behind in Indiana. She doesn’t get to see the toddler very often at all. Portwood, meanwhile, made her reality television debut on 16 and Pregnant in 2009 before becoming a cast member on Teen Mom and Teen Mom OG. She returned to MTV for 2022’s Teen Mom: Family Reunion and eventually got fired from 2023’s Teen Mom: The Next Chapter due to her many legal obstacles. “I’ve worked so hard to better myself and improve my relationships with my children,” the reality star said after Glennon was awarded custody of James many months ago. “While I’ve always been candid about my past substance abuse and struggles with mental illness, a person should have the chance to redeem themselves and not be tethered to their problems from the past.” Amber Portwood’s New Boyfriend Makes His ‘Teen Mom’ Debut: Meet Gary was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

He became a household name for allowing contestants to buy a vowel. On Friday, however, Pat Sajak said goodbye. The veteran game show host filmed his final episode of Wheel of Fortune this week (it will air on Friday night, June 7) and footage of his farewell speech has already gone viral. Pat Sajak says goodbye to Wheel of Fortune viewers. (Sony) Toward the end of the installment, the 77-year old looks directly into the camera and thanks fans for their four decades’ worth of support and affection. “Well, the time has come to say goodbye,” Sajak begins on the finale. “I have a few thanks and acknowledgments before I go, and I want to start with all watching out there. It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade.” Sajak announced last June that he would be stepped away from this gig after 41 seasons on the air. He referred to his journey at the time as a “wonderful ride.” Pat Sajak and Vanna White attend Harry Friedman being honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on November 1, 2019 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by David Livingston/Getty Images) Continued Sajak on his final episode: “I always felt that the privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half-hour a safe place for family fun. No social issues. No politics. Nothing embarrassing, I hope. Just a game. But gradually it became more than that.” Sajak said the show evolved into a place where “kids learned their letters, where people from other countries honed their English skills, where families came together along with friends and neighbors, and entire generations.” And he concluded as follows: “What an honor to play even a small part in all of that. Thank you for allowing me into your lives.” Pat Sajak arrives at the 2014 Coors Light NHL Stadium Series Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium on January 25, 2014 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Valerie Macon/Getty Images) Sajak started hosting Wheel of Fortune in 1981. Through his impressive tenure, Sajak has won the Daytime Emmy for outstanding game show host three times. Ryan Seacrest, for the record, will take over as host this fall, because of course he will; while Sajak’s long-time co-host, Vanna White, will continue through the 2025-2026 season. The famous letter-turner recorded an emotional tribute to Sajak on Thursday.

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) “I don’t know how to put into words what these past 40 years have meant to me but I’m going to try,” White said in this video. “8000 episodes went by like that. When I first started, I was so green. You made me so comfortable and so confident, Pat. You made me who I am, you really did.” White added, through tears: “As this chapter of our lives is coming to an end, I know you’ll still be close by. “You’re like a brother to me and I consider you a true lifelong friend who I will always adore. I love you, Pat.” Pat Sajak Bids Emotional Farewell to Wheel of Fortune was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Gabe Brown has found a unique and emotional way to pay tribute to his late sibling. Earlier this week, Janelle Brown shared a photo of a night out with Gabe and her daughter, Savanah, simply noting in the caption that she was introducing the pair to Korean barbecue. But astute observers picked up on something aside from the food in this snapshot. Garrison Brown is pictured here on an episode of Sister Wives. (TLC) “Is that Gabe’s arm with the to the stars tattoo? What a lovely tribute to Garrison,” one user wrote, prompting a reply from Janelle as follows: “Yes! Many of the kids got a tattoo with some version of that quote. It was one of Garrisons favorite movies growing up and even as an adult.” The mother of six is referring here to a quote from the movie Dragonheart, which goes: “To the stars, Bowen, to the stars.” You can check out the image in question above. Garrison died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 4. It later came out that his mother was concerned about his well-being due to a recent text message, along with a history of suicidal tendencies, and asked one of her kids to go check on Garrison. Gabe agreed to do so, and then discovered his brother’s corpse. Simply horrible all around. Garrison Brown died by suicide at age 25. RIP. (Image Credit: TLC) In the two months since this tragedy, many members of the Brown family have paid homage to the 25-year old. Garrison would have turned 26 a few weeks after he died, which led to a birthday tribute from his mother in April. “Happy Birthday Sweetheart. We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore,” Janelle wrote on Instagram at the time, accompanied by a whistled version of “Happy Birthday.” “We talked a lot about you today and even went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner (your favorite place),” Brown continued. “I still feel you nearby sometimes. And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.” Janelle Brown looks very sad in this confessional on Sister Wives. (TLC) After he took his own life, several of Garrison Brown’s siblings made references to the Dragonheart quote in their social media tributes to their brother. Meri and Kody Brown’ only child, Leon Brown, shared a selfie with Garrison, for instance, and included the quote in the caption. Mykelti Padron also left the following message for her brother in her own Instagram post: “Have fun up with the stars little bro, you’re missed.” In recent weeks, Janelle has posted updates about her life without her believed son. Janelle Brown is featured here on the Sister Wives tell-all special. (Image Credit: TLC) After celebrating Mother’s Day, the TLC personality reflected on this bittersweet occasion. “Mother’s Day was surprisingly emotional for me. It just never has been a big holiday for me. My children have always shown up for me and made me feel special everyday. Especially since they became independent adults and weren’t home all the time. But this year was different,” she wrote. Added Janelle: I love you honey and miss you every day. May Garrison Brown rest in peace.

Prince William has made another appearance without Kate Middleton. Even as the Prince of Wales steps in for his ailing father, he continues to avoid and evade questions about his wife’s health issues. People want to know how she’s doing. The royal firm’s dishonesty and PR blunders regarding Kate’s health have not helped. William’s latest appearance without cancer-stricken Kate comes at a celebration of someone with close ties to Harry and Meghan – who also did not make an appearance. Prince William, Prince of Wales attends a commemoration event to mark the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings on June 06, 2024. (Photo Credit: Christopher Furlong/Getty Images) Prince William visited Chester Cathedral without Kate Middleton On Friday, June 7, Prince William attended a wedding in Chester, England. The Prince of Wales was attending the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, and Olivia Henson. (To be clear, “Duke of Westminster is Grosvenor’s title; sadly this is not a tale of throuple nuptials) Amidst Kate Middleton’s ongoing cancer treatments and her health recovery, Prince William arrived without Kate. He attended “stag,” so to speak. Prince William, Prince of Wales ahead of the wedding of The Duke of Westminster and Miss Olivia Henson at Chester Cathedral on June 07, 2024. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Kate was not the only conspicuous absence from the wedding. Hugh Grosvenor is a mutual friend of both Prince William and Prince Harry. He is the godfather of Prince Archie and of Prince George. However, Harry was not in attendance. According to a report by The Telegraph, the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Westminster reached an “understanding.” Prince William, Prince of Wales attends the official international ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, at Omaha Beach on June 6, 2024. (Photo Credit: Jordan Pettitt – Pool/Getty Images) Why couldn’t Prince Harry attend? Reports are clear that Grosvenor and Harry remain friends. It’s very likely that he would have preferred for both royal brothers to attend his nuptials. However, at the moment, William has chosen to distance himself from his younger brother. Harry spoke about his experiences within the royal household, and William clearly resents him for that. (And, perhaps, resents him for living his life as he chooses) Sometimes, grimly, hosts of events have to choose between two loved ones whose attendance would be mutually exclusive. For whatever reason, William ended up receiving the invite to this wedding.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) That is a real shame. Obviously, sometimes people — even family — should never be around each other again. But this is a sad case of estranged siblings, not of a harmful person and their victim. One hopes that they will one day reconcile. Meanwhile, Kate Middleton’s absence is considerably less socially awkward. Yes, William attended the wedding without Kate, but it was not unexpected. This is not the first time that William has left Kate behind while making a formal appearance. Hopefully, William performing his standard royal duties is a sign that Kate is doing better and better.

(Photo Credit: Aaron Chown – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Is Kate Middleton recovering well? Kensington Palace has been conspicuously tight-lipped about Kate’s health. What would otherwise be a private health issue becomes public when the cancer patient is part of a taxpayer-funded dynasty. Especially when her father-in-law is the ceremonial Head of State. Reports have repeatedly emphasized that Kate’s fans should not expect to see much of her for months to come. In fact, her royal appearance calendar is blank until 2025. And seeing Prince William without Kate could become a habit. Some insiders suggest that Kate’s appearance schedule might never return to what it once was.

Tonight is Pat Sajak’s last show and his Wheel of Fortune co-host, Vanna White, has big feelings about it. In a touching tribute to friend and co-worker of over 40 years, Vanna succumbed to tears talking about their time together and what Pat has meant to her. It’s the end of a true era and it feels like no one really understands how close these two really are! Pat Sajak and Vanna White cut the cake at the the 25th anniversary celebration of the television game show “Wheel Of Fortune” at Radio City Music Hall September 27, 2007 in New York City. (Photo by Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images) Vanna White Cries Bidding Farewell To Pat Sajak: ‘I Love You’ “I can’t believe tomorrow is our last show together,” Vanna White said in an emotional message played in front of Pat Sajak and the Wheel of Fortune audience on the night before his last show. “I don’t know how to put into words what these last 41 years have meant to me. But I’m going to try. Eight thousand episodes went by like that.” She then started to talk about all the guidance and friendship Pat had shown her through the years, particularly when she suffered from severe stage fright. “You made me feel so comfortable, so confident,” she said “You made me who I am. You really did.” That’s when the tears started to well, and try as she might, Vanna couldn’t hide how emotional the moment was for her. “As this chapter comes to an end, I know you’ll still be close by,” said Vanna. “You’re like a brother to me, and I consider you a true lifelong friend who I will always adore. I love you, Pat.” When the cameras returned to the studio, Pat was at a loss for words. He simply hugged his friend as the show came to a close.

Fill in as the new host will be Ryan Seacrest, though his first show has not been announced yet. As for Pat, during his last show, he gave a speech to brought a few tears to everyone’s eye. “Well, the time has come to say goodbye,” he began. “I have a few thanks and acknowledgments before I go, and I want to start with all of you watching out there. It’s been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade.” “And I’ve always felt like the privilege came with the responsibility to keep this daily half hour a safe place for family fun,” he went on. “No social issues, no politics, nothing embarrassing I hope, just a game.” “But gradually it became more than that,” he continued. A place where kids learned their letters, where people from other countries honed their English skills, where families came together along with friends and neighbors, and entire generations.” He added: “What an honor to play even a small part in all of that.

Wendy Williams is a living legend. And she has also essentially vanished. The harrowing Where Is Wendy Williams? docuseries addressed the fallen daytime host’s many struggles. But some of those closest to her are asking the question more literally: where is she? Even Wendy’s longtime best friend doesn’t seem to know. From finances to enduring radio silence to the welfare of Wendy’s pets, there are a lot of questions and concerns about Wendy’s current state of affairs. Wendy Williams looks intently in the camera while cracking jokes on the February 2024 docuseries. (Image Credit: Lifetime) Wendy Williams is a real person, not just an entertainer, not just a meme Regina Schell is Wendy Williams’ best friend of 44 years. She was living with her in 2022, when it became clear that Wendy was going to lose her show forever. Speaking to The US Sun in her first long-form interview (ever), Regina discussed Wendy Williams and how what she means to her differs from how some on the internet perceive her. “I want people to know that Wendy is a real person, and this is not some karma is a b–ch thing,” Regina emphasized. Wendy Williams attends the 2019 NYWIFT Muse Awards at the New York Hilton Midtown on December 10, 2019. (Photo Credit: Lars Niki/Getty Images for New York Women in Film & Television) Recently, Wendy Williams has been largely radio silent. That is setting off alarm bells for Regina. “Talking is Wendy’s life, her whole claim to fame is talking,” she pointed out. “And,” Regina then reasoned, “I don’t think she would be this quiet unless she [were] forced to be quiet.” Wendy Williams smiles during the Where Is Wendy Williams docuseries. (Image Credit: Lifetime) Is the guardianship keeping Wendy William silent? Wendy Williams effectively vanished from the public in May of 2023. Before that, she had been very vocal about her dislike of the conservator situation. Most memorably, Lifetime came out with Where Is Wendy Williams? in February of 2024. And yet the world didn’t get to hear Wendy’s thoughts on the matter. “There is no way in hell that she would not have responded to that Lifetime documentary, with all her family members appearing in it,” an inside source noted to The US Sun. “Wendy would have had something to say about all of that, without a doubt.” A furious Wendy Williams speaks her mind to publicist Shawn Zanotti. (Image Credit: Lifetime) Regina went on to wonder about her bestie’s disappearance. Lifetime’s documentary did not answer the question — not when it aired in 2024, that is. “Where is Wendy and why is no one asking that question? And why is no one answering that question?” she demanded. Regina reiterated: “Why can’t they produce Wendy, or an actual statement from Wendy, or a picture of Wendy? Where is Wendy?!” Wendy Williams attends the Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” World Premiere at David Geffen Hall on October 28, 2019. (Photo Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty Images) Wendy WIlliams has vanished from friends’ lives, not just the public eye “I haven’t spoken to my friend, who I spoke to five times a day, in over a year now,” Regina declared. Many of us who speak to loved ones every single day can understand her state of mind. And these two also lived together. “I stayed with Wendy on and off for that entire summer, from June of 2022 until August,” Regina specified. “I left and I went home briefly and came back in September, and then she came out to California in October and I went back to New York in December.” She then added: “I spent the majority of the year with her.” Wendy Williams attends her being honored with a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on October 17, 2019. (Photo Credit: David Livingston/Getty Images) Like many in Wendy’s family, Regina has concerns about the daytime TV legend’s emotional support. “I think she should be surrounded by family and friends and people who love and support her, instead of some stranger who has her who knows where,” she expressed. As for Wendy’s mysterious whereabouts, Regina theorized: “She’s somewhere that she can’t reach a phone because Wendy can always get to a phone, because if she could get to a phone, she’d be calling me.” During the Where Is Wendy Williams docuseries, the titular star discusses how much she enjoys being “free” from her TV career and thus able to dress, or undress, how she likes. (Image Credit: Lifetime) What about Wendy’s money? Another worry, in Regina’s mind, is Wendy Williams’ dwindling finances. There have been questions about Wendy’s money under the guardianship before. “What is the end game? How does this end when her money is gone? Where is she?” Regina emphasized. “It’s got a sinister vibe to it. That’s what gets me,” she then expressed. “There’s something about it that just doesn’t feel right.” Even though Wendy Williams railed against her manager while speaking to publicist Shawn Zanotti, she also had unkind words for Zanotti. (Image Credit: Lifetime) Regina added: “There’s no sign of her beyond a statement that was made which doesn’t sound like her at all, and why hasn’t a medical team come forward to talk about her dementia diagnosis?” Previously, Regina has spoken out about Wendy’s guardian allegedly taking “hours” to provide her with food — and having similar delays with Wendy’s cats, Chit Chat and My Way. Regina doesn’t know the fate of the felines, either. We all hope that all of these questions and concerns have positive answers and innocuous explanations. But the world, like Regina, would really like to understand Wendy’s situation. Wendy Williams Whereabouts Unknown Even by Best Friend: Where IS She? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

You may not believe this, Bravo viewers. But things are about to get crazy on The Real Housewives of Orange County! Late Thursday, the cable network dropped the first trailer for Season 18 of this long-running franchise — and it’s clear cast members Shannon Storms Beador, Heather Dubrow, Tamra Judge, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Jennifer Pedranti will all be in for a great deal of drama. The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 cast poses here for a photo. (Bravo) We can’t forget about newbie Katie Ginella, either. Or returning favorite Alexis Bellino, who will play a sizable role this summer. The preview focuses a great deal, however, on Shannon Beador, who was arrested for a dangerous DUI last September. “Shannon is not taking responsibility for what she did,” Tamra says in the footage, hinting at Shannon’s accident and their subsequent friendship fallout. Beador was cited last fall for crashing her car into a residential property while under the influence; she was charged with a DUI and a hit-and-run the following month and later sentenced to three years’ probation. Shannon Storms Beador strikes a promotional pose. (SAMI DRASIN/BRAVO) The 60-year old breaks down while apologizing to her children in the trailer, but she also orders a cocktail at one point and earns the wrath of Tamra. “You decided to drive your car into a house, drunk,” Tamra screams at Shannon from across the table, prior to dragging Beador later on for all of her “bullsh-t.” Elsewhere in the trailer, Gina cries as her longtime boyfriend Travis Mullen moves out of their house … a decision he notes that she made. Although they’re still dating, the relocation appears motivated by tension between her and his ex-wife. “I want to break up with his ex-wife, not him,” she explains on air. Heather Dubrow is back for Season 18! (SAMI DRASIN/BRAVO) Fans can look forward to exotic vacations this season, too, as the stars head to Big Bear, Sonoma, Palm Springs and London. For more of a SPOILER-filled look at The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18, check out the official Bravo synopsis below: Following a very difficult year, Shannon Storms Beador is doing her best to move forward as she faces the consequences from her DUI. With her twins in college, this empty-nester is left trying to mend her fractured friendships. However, she’s continuously in the hot seat as her life choices are questioned. Things get awkward for Shannon when her ex-boyfriend’s new girlfriend, Alexis Bellino, threatens to bring damaging information about her past. Gina Kirschenheiter promotes Season 18 in this Bravo-sponsored photo. (SAMI DRASIN/BRAVO) Always on the move, Heather Dubrow and husband Terry find themselves routinely commuting between Orange County and their new estate in Beverly Hills. Their Balboa Bay Club penthouse suite serves as home base with Terry’s practice and his mother around the corner. After many years of friendship, Heather and Gina find themselves at odds over loyalty and betrayal. Heather isn’t quick to warm up to new housewife Katie, and their relationship takes a wrong turn when Katie confronts her about an old rumor. Emily Simpson is in for a lot of drama on Season 18. (SAMI DRASIN/BRAVO ) No longer a Tres Amiga, Tamra Judge is putting her energy into developing stronger friendships and helping her daughter Sophia, who recently turned 18, navigate her gap year. As Tamra and Eddie enjoy a new home in Big Bear, they also decide it might be time to sell their longtime home in OC. Tamra’s damaged friendship with Shannon is hotly contested as she wonders if Shannon is truly remorseful for her accident. Also, her new improved friendship with Jennifer is put to the test when Eddie and Ryan get into a heated debate. Gina Kirschenheiter has leveled up as a realtor, but her professional reputation is called into question after one of the ladies puts her in a sticky situation. Her relationship with Travis takes an unconventional turn when deciding she wants to live separately, but stay together. On top of this, as Gina watches bestie Emily get close to Tamra, she wonders if their friendship will remain the same. Katie Ginella is new to The Real Housewives of Orange County. (SAMI DRASIN/BRAVO) Emily Simpson has gone through an incredible transformation after losing 40 pounds and finds herself trying to adjust to her new healthy lifestyle. Her obsession with the gym has affected her relationship with food, family and friends. When she’s not helping the wrongly convicted as a part of the California Innocence Project, she’s questioning the ladies on everything from integrity to intentions. Her closeness with Tamra causes those around her to wonder if Emily is taking her opinions too far. Jennifer Pedranti is ready for a fresh start with Tamra while also trying to prove that her boyfriend, Ryan, is worthy of redemption. She feels a lot of her life is up in the air as she waits for her divorce to be finalized and figures out her financial future. While some of the ladies in the group wonder if she has truly learned from her past mistakes, Jennifer finds some commonality with new housewife Katie. As she strives to make new changes and keep her head afloat, it all culminates when Ryan’s name is involved in a national bombshell that rocks Orange County. New to Orange County, Katie Ginella and her husband, professional golf journalist Matt Ginella, recently moved from San Diego. She’s looking to expand her circle of friends while working to launch her own cocktail line. Now ready to learn more about her Korean heritage and connect to her roots, Katie decides to explore her adoption further and meet her birth mother. After meeting the ladies, Katie immediately finds herself smack dab in the middle of the drama and gets a quick lesson in how loyalty works in the OC. A longtime friend of Heather and Emily, Alexis Bellino comes in full force ready to make waves. She finds her footing with most of the ladies and starts fresh with Tamra, but she instantly finds herself on shaky ground with Shannon as they face off in a series of high-stakes disputes.

On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Khloe Kardashian opened up to Scott Disick and also to her mother, Kris Jenner, about both her sex life and her love life. Or her lack thereof, in both these cases, if we’re being honest. The conversation started with Khloe telling her loved ones she has no interest in dating at the moment. Khloe Kardashian is featured here in a confessional on her family’s reality show. (Hulu) “I have limited time,” she said on air about being the parent of two young kids. “I’m not sharing it with a man. I’m not sharing my TV, I’m not sharing my bed.” We can most definitely respect and understand this. It certainly is the case that Khloe hasn’t been linked to anyone romantically in a very long time. If anything, the questions keep coming back to Tristan Thompson, considering the stars share two children and remain close to this day. Khloé Kardashian attends The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Might the pair even get back together someday? Disick came right out this week and asked this question to Khloe. “The door is closed,” Kardashian responded of ever being an item again with the man who cheated on her over and over and then over again. “I feel like everyone has been really judgy about how I spend my time because I’m not dating,” Khloe added in a subsequent confessional. “I stopped dating Tristan when [son] Tatum was in utero. 2.5 years without dating is not that crazy… “Now that he’s [playing professional basketball] in Cleveland, this is really really healthy for us. When Tristan was next door, he still was always over, wanted to put the kids to sleep, he loved the routine and I was almost like, f-ck.” Khloe Kardashian attends Abyss By Abby – Arabian Nights Collection Launch Party at Casita Hollywood on January 21, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for Abyss By Abby) Indeed, Thompson was formerly a neighbor of Kardashian’s in California. And while Khloe says she has basically forgiven Tristan, that doesn’t mean she can ever trust him again. As for dating in general down the line? “You think I’m just going to be celibate for the rest of my life?” she joked to Disick, implying that she hasn’t had intercourse in quite awhile. Khloe Kardashian celebrates the launch of Good American with Emma Grede at Bloomingdale’s on October 28, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images fro Good American) These days, though, Khloe says she’s just so “exhausted” so much of the time and wants to do nothing other than “lay in bed, watch my shows, decompress, get up and do my work.” It’s also complicated for someone in her position to be with a man. Speaking to the camera, Khloe said that she doesn’t even know how to date with kids, saying she wouldn’t be bringing any men to her home, yet also wouldn’t want to go their place “where you’re going to chop me up and kill me.” Outside of the bedroom, meanwhile? Kardashian explained how she wouldn’t want to go to a “public restaurant where people can take pictures and you’re gonna be another notch on my belt in the public’s eyes,” either.

Johnny Wactor’s funeral arrangements have all been made, two weeks after the General Hospital star was gunned down and killed.

He was died trying to protect a female co-worker who was with him.

Johnny’s family had made it known they wanted his body sent over to South Carolina after he was killed in L.A. Funeral services will be held Saturday, June 15, 2024, in Summerville, SC, where Johnny grew up. His mother and most of his family still live there today. His brother, Grant, initially posted the update on his social media, while his mother shared information on her Instagram about a GoFundMe page called Justice for Johnny. Meanwhile, his mother also confirmed to Fox News that Johnny’s co-worker Anita Joy, who he protected in his final moments, will be attending the funeral. “It’ll be nice that I’ll be able to see her and be able to meet her as well,” Scarlett told the outlet. Scarlett added that friends from his theater group in Los Angles are also planning a private “not press, and no fans,” memorial for Wactor as well, which she hopes to attend if she’s able.

(Photo by David Livingston/Getty Images) Obituary For Murdered On ‘General Hospital’ Star With the announcement of his funeral also came Johnny’s official obituary, shared the funeral home hosting the service. “His loss has been felt by his family, closest friends and the worldwide community of his fans,” the obituary reads. It talked about his family, his community, and all the ways he found to give back. “Johnny recognized the importance of service to his community donating his time and energy to so many in need. Recently reading Dr. Seuss to local elementary schools in Los Angeles, making and passing out sandwiches to the homeless during the COVID-19 pandemic. He protested with his fellow actors during the writer’s strike,” the obituary continued. Characterized further as a “a man brimming with magnetism and humility,” the obituary ends with a nod to the simple things he loved about life, as well as a request from his family. “Johnny stood up for what he believed in and remains an example of how to live life with non-negotiable integrity and grit. He found solace and serenity with his loving family, on the mountain, climbing, being a proud big brother to Lance and Grant, with the boys, just talking to his mother, in play, always outside, in nature.” “Johnny’s love will be remembered and felt by all. Forever leaving an everlasting mark on this world…The family is asking everyone to pray for the immediate capture, conviction, and severe penalty of the three masked murderers.” Johnny Wactor’s Funeral Details: Family To Pay Tribute To Soap Star In Hometown was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

*Not really, you guys. Amid chatter that Travis Kelce is thinking of proposing to Taylor Swift, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end may wanna hurry up and get down on one knee… … because he appears to have some new competition. Sam Heughan poses as he attends Outlander Season 7 World Premiere At Tribeca Film Festival at VerÅnika on June 9, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images for STARZ) In a video shared on Instagram, Sam Heughan — a veteran actor best known for starring on the Starz smash hit Outlander — appeared this week in full costume on the set of the time-traveling drama and shared the cast’s plans to attend an upcoming Swift concert. “We’re gonna go see Taylor Swift play in Scotland and I think most of the cast is going,” he says as her 2017 Reputation hit, “…Ready for It?” playedin the background. Added the handsome star: “She obviously doesn’t know this but when she comes to Scotland and she sees me in the audience she’s gonna forget all about… him.” Taylor Swift performs on stage at the Paris La Defense Arena as part of her The Eras Tour, in Nanterre, north-western France, on May 9, 2024.

The three-time Super Bowl champ famously won over the beloved artist after unsuccessfully attempting to give her his phone number on a friendship bracelet at her Kansas City, Missouri tour stop last summer … and then calling her out publicly on his New Heights podcast days later. Hence the funny response by one user to Heughan’s upload. “Make her a friendship bracelet, Sam – I hear that works,” this person quipped.

(Photo by ANDRE DIAS NOBRE / AFP) (Photo by ANDRE DIAS NOBRE/AFP via Getty Images) We’ve got a feeling that wouldn’t work at this point. Travis and Taylor are VERY serious about each other. Just a few days ago, Kelce didn’t even deny that he’s thought about getting married to the singer. Kelce was on stage over this past weekend in Kansas City as part of the Big Slick Celebrity weekend charity event. He was joined at this event by Jason Sudeikis, who was in character as fictional soccer coach Ted Lasso.

As the crowed cheered and hollered, Kelce rubbed his beard and smiled. He didn’t say anything. But actions can speak louder than words, we’ve heard. And diamonds are a girl’s best friend. We’re just saying, Trav. Something to keep in mind. Sam Heughan Threatens* Travis Kelce: I’m Coming for Taylor Swift! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Terrence Howard has been married and divorced multiple times over the course of his life. Though the actor never balks at discussing other people’s scandals, he has enough controversy of his own to last several lifetimes. People may laugh or wince over “Terryology” or his outlandish statements. His more personal controversies, those regarding his relationships, are much more serious. Let’s take a look at the ups and downs of his marital history. Terrence Howard announces lawsuit against CAA over “Empire” salary at The Cochran Firm on December 08, 2023. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images) How many times has Terrence Howard been married? Terrence Howard, who was born in 1969 and has starred in Iron Man, Law & Order: LA, and Empire, has been married four times. Those four marriages featured three women. If he marries a fifth time, the number of women who have been his wife might not change, either. (We’ll explain) Terrence has five children in total. Three of them, two daughters and a son, are with his first wife, Lori McCommas. Terrence Howard attends the 54th NAACP Image Awards at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on February 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) In 1993, Terrence Howard married Lori McCommas, his first wife. But their relationship was more complex than that. The two of them ultimately divorced in 2001 (filing in 2000) … but reconciled, remarrying in 2005. Clearly, their second marriage did not last either. They filed for divorce in 2006, finalizing their divorce in 2007. Presumably, they will not repeat this cycle again.

(Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Then came Terrence Howard’s third marriage, second wife, and third divorce In 2010, Terrence Howard married Michelle Ghent. This makes her simultaneously his second wife and his third wife, depending upon one’s point of view. (That is, this was his third marriage but his second spouse) Unfortunately, this relationship is where things take a grim turn. In 2011, Michelle Ghent filed for a restraining order against Howard. Terrence Howard attends TheGrio Awards 2022 at The Beverly Hilton on October 22, 2022. (Photo Credit: JC Olivera/Getty Images) Ghent accused him of domestic abuse. They finalized their divorce in 2013, a year and a half after she filed for the protective order. According to Michelle Ghent’s account in court, Terrence Howard had caused her physical injuries that required medical attention. She also told the court that her then-husband stalked her through the phone and online, and had once broken her computer in half.

(Photo Credit: Jerod Harris/Getty Images for Tubi) Michelle Ghent was not the first wife to accuse Terrence Howard of domestic violence Grimly, her allegations echoed a report that came out in 2009. The Smoking Gun reported on Terrence Howard’s 2001 arrest for numerous charges stemming from a violent attack on Lori McCommas. He allegedly broke doors in her home, chased her into the backyard, and punched her until his own brother intervened. Howard ultimately pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of disturbing the peace. In a 2015 interview with Rolling Stone, Terrence Howard admitted to hitting his first wife in 2001. “She was talking to me real strong, and I lost my mind and slapped her in front of the kids,” he said, confessing to domestic violence but characterizing the assault differently than his ex had. Terrence Howard and Mira Pak Howard attend the 54th NAACP Image Awards at Pasadena Civic Auditorium on February 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Leon Bennett/Getty Images for BET) In late 2013, Terrence Howard married his third wife, Mira Pak. The two share two sons, whom they welcomed in 2015 and in 2016. Howard and Pak quietly divorced in 2015. However, three years later, in 2018, he proposed again. Though there are no public indications that they remarried, she has been a frequent “plus one” with him to events. Given their history of keeping certain relationship details under wraps, it is possible that they could remarry or split up without immediately making the news public.

A controversial book claims that Prince Harry sent a “coded message” to Prince William, subtly accusing his older brother of marrying Kate Middleton to keep up appearances. And now, the story is recirculating, as people are keen to show just how committed William is to Kate in her time of need. As the world well knows, Kate Middleton has been battling cancer since January 2024. She has not made any public appearances since, and reportedly may never fully return to royal life in the same way ever again. Prince William since then has not only been caring for his wife and children, but also taking up the mantle for his father at royal events. Does this sounds like a man who didn’t marry for love? Depends on who you ask, apparently. The Accusations Against Prince Harry Robert Hardman, author of The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, alleges that the subtle allegation can be found in Harry and Meghan’s 2022 Netflix series. According to Hardman, when Harry spoke about his marriage to Meghan Markle in the show’s first episode, he did so with the intention of shaming William. “Harry talks about marrying someone for love, not because it’s the sort of person you ought to,” Hardman told Page Six in an interview when the book released. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on the long Walk at Windsor Castle arrive to view flowers and tributes to HM Queen Elizabeth on September 10, 2022 in Windsor, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) “I think that’s a lot more wounding. I mean that’s effectively dissing your brother and his choice of wife in a very public way.” “For so many people in the family, especially obviously the men, there can be a temptation or urge to marry someone who fits in the mold, as opposed to somebody who you are perhaps destined to be with,” Harry said in the series. He went on to claim that his mother, Princess Diana, would be appalled by the former approach to choosing a spouse.

(Photo by Rosa Woods – Pool/Getty Images) “The difference between making decisions with your head, or your heart,” Harry said. “And my mum [Diana] made most of her decisions, if not all of them, from her heart. And I am my mother’s son.” Did Prince Harry Accuse Prince William of Marrying Kate Middleton For Sake of Appearances?

(Photo by DOMINIC LIPINSKI/POOL/AFP via Getty Images) Obviously, Harry didn’t make any explicit claims about William and Kate’s marriage, but according to Hardman, the message was loud and clear. Passive aggression is apparently a second language to the royals, especially when they’re addressing one another through the media. Hardman says William was likely aghast at Harry’s comments, not only because of the insulting claim about his marriage but also because he’s fiercely protective of his privacy. Prince William, and Catherine, Prince Harry and Meghan attend a service marking the centenary of WW1 armistice at Westminster Abbey on November 11, 2018 in London, England. (Photo by Paul Grover- WPA Pool/Getty Images) “Both these brothers, they’ve guarded their privacy,” Hardman explained. “It’s been really important to them. And William is a really private person. He doesn’t do nearly as many interviews as his father did at this age and family life is absolutely off-limits for media,” the journalist continued. “Privacy is really important and Harry’s just gone and chucked all these stories about their childhood into the public domain.” Catherine, Princess of Wales, Prince William, Prince of Wales, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on the long Walk at Windsor Castle arrive to view flowers and tributes to HM Queen Elizabeth on September 10, 2022 in Windsor, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) What’s Next For William and Harry? These days, William and Harry are not on speaking terms, and there’s been no indication that either brother is interested in resolving the tension. For one thing William’s attention is certainly elsewhere, as his wife and his father are both battling cancer. Prince William has since had to step in for King Charles at royal events while juggling being there for Kate and the kids. Meanwhile, Prince Harry reportedly reached out to his sister-in-law, but has not seen her, nor has he seen the rest of his family, despite visits to London. Now feels like the time to patch up old wounds, but we won’t hold our breath.

Kylie Kelce pregnant with baby number 4? What a blessing that would be! As obsessed as the world is right now with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, there is still much love for the other power couple in the NFL family. Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie have been beloved for years. They made headlines in 2023 when she risked going into labor at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona just so she could watch Jason play in the Super Bowl. And now, with Jason retiring from the NFL, the question is what comes next for the family? Since giving birth to their 3rd child, fans have wondered if the pair will be adding more kids to their brood. Some sleuths even think they’ve discovered clues that she might be expecting. The truth? Here’s what we know. Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce attend Thursday Night Football Presents The World Premiere of “Kelce” on September 08, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Lisa Lake/Getty Images for Prime Video) Kylie Kelce Pregnant? It’s Not Confirmed – Yet There seems to be an extreme level of wishful thinking at the moment concerning this story. Neither Kylie nor Jason have announced that they are expecting another baby. Plus, with three kids under 5, no one could blame them for wanting to take a minute! Still, fans started to suspect something was up after one of Kylie’s first appearances on the New Heights podcast with Travis and Jason. Kylie Kelce all smiles at a red carpet in 2023. ((Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images)) In a video from September 2023, the caption from Travis’ TikTok reads, “This woman is a SAINT! Takes care of 4 kids at home and even found the time to join the pod Thanks Sis!!” 4 kids? 4?! Big hint to drop right there in the caption, T! While some fans were busy fawning over the fact that Travis was wearing a John Mayer shirt, others were concerned that the family was burying the lead on a new addition. But if it was mean to be a hint, the couple nor Travis didn’t commented on it further. It remains a mystery if the 4 kids comment referred to another little one on the way, or just that Jason is another big “kid” Kylie takes care of. Let’s be real: it’s most likely the latter. Jason Kelce during the 2023 Super Bowl press conference. ((Photo by Rob Carr/Getty Images)) Jason Squashes The Rumors – For Now As we said, neither Jason nor Kylie have announced they are expecting another kid. That’s not to say that they won’t have one; just that aren’t about to have one right now. Of course, people have to go and run away with their thoughts and theories (right Kate Middleton?), so Jason being Jason – well, he just piled right on! Again on his podcast, in March 2024, Jason talked about his wife going to Milan Fashion Week without him. He then segued into the rumors that she was pregnant. “Apparently Kylie is pregnant with our fourth child, it’s a boy,” he told Travis, before adding: “In this made-up universe.” Travis then joked: “You guys made a baby in Milan?” That’s when Jason replied: “If she got pregnant in Milan, we’ve got some things to answer here.'” So, we’ll take that as a no… Kylie Kelce’s Kids With Jason Kylie and Jason wed in Philadelphia in April 2018 after meeting on Tinder. Yes, ladies, it can happen! A little more than a year later, they welcomed their first child, daughter Wyatt Elizabeth Oct. 2, 2019. It would seem that Jason was destined to be a girl dad as the pair have two more girls: Elliotte Ray on March 4, 2021 and Bennett Llewellyn, born on Feb. 23, 2023 – not at the Super Bowl, as so many feared that year! We’ll just have to wait and see what happens. Besides, aren’t we all just more interested in Kylie and Taylor being friends at the moment anyway?

Prince William is so not willing to discuss Kate Middleton’s health at this time. Recent reports on Kate Middleton’s recovery have painted a grim picture of the Princess of Wales’ future. Even if she makes a full recovery from her current “precautionary” cancer battle, royal sources don’t expect a return to normal. Possibly ever. Given how evasive Prince William remains about his wife’s health issues, many of her fans fear the worst.

(Photo Credit: Jordan Pettitt – Pool/Getty Images) Prince William is not taking questions about Kate Middleton’s health On Thursday, June 6, Prince William joined King Charles, who of course has been undergoing his own cancer battle, in Portsmouth. As we previously reported, this is a commemoration for the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War II. The royals met with veterans. One, perhaps out of politeness, asked William if his wife, Kate Middleton, is “getting better.” Catherine, Princess of Wales attends The “Together At Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 08, 2023. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Prince William did not offer any commentary on Kate’s health. In fact, he did not answer the veteran’s question. Instead, according to Express UK, the Prince of Wales simply noted that “She’d have loved to be here.” That is not an answer. But it is a diplomatic response from a man who is unwilling to publicly discuss his wife’s health. Prince William, Prince of Wales speaks during the Government of Canada ceremony to mark the 80th anniversary of D-Day, at Juno Beach on June 6, 2024. (Photo Credit: Jordan Pettitt – Pool/Getty Images) Kate Middleton’s health battle has remained shrouded in mystery In January of 2024, Kate underwent an abdominal surgery. According to official statements, doctors found signs of cancer, and she has since undergone cancer treatments. At first, however, the royal firm sought to conceal even this. The official story was that Kate was recovering from a planned surgery. After Kate Middleton remained in seclusion for months, a doctored family photo ignited an uproar. Only then did did the royal firm, through Kate, disclose her cancer diagnosis. Obviously, news that Kate Middleton has cancer has been devastating. Despite the flagrant dishonesty from the royal firm, people believe (or at least hope) that not even Kensington Palace would spin a falsehood about cancer. Of course, even if it’s all true, the public does not know Kate’s specific cancer diagnosis. Similarly, we do not know Charles’ either — despite grim reports about his prognosis. The public would like to know more. The royal family is not merely a collection of celebrities who wield inexplicable ceremonial power. They are also a taxpayer-funded public institution of what are functionally national mascots. Catherine, Princess Of Wales is seen during the opening of Evelina London’s new children’s day surgery unit on December 5, 2023. (Photo Credit: Ian Vogler – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Will Kate Middleton ever resume her royal duties? Recent reports have made it clear that Kate has no scheduled royal events in the near future as her health crisis continues. She may remain absent from any and all royal appearances until 2025 at the earliest. It is, of course, right and good that she should take it easy. Fighting cancer and undergoing treatments requires a tremendous amount of recovery time. Prince William, Prince of Wales addresses the audience during a D-Day 80th anniversary concert on June 05, 2024. (Photo Credit: Leon Neal/Getty Images) However, reports have also claimed that Kate’s duties might never return to what they once were. Not even if she makes a full recovery. It sounds like, according to what some of these royal sources are saying, this cancer crisis may also be a wake-up call for the royals. Kate has done so much, before and especially after marrying into this controversial family. Even with the nearly infinite wealth and bizarre amounts of political power that the family wields, she surely deserves to have her own life, too.

Love may not cost a thing, but a divorce for Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck will cost them their megamansion. After tying the knot officially in 2022, Bennifer 2.0 quickly looked for a place to call their forever home. They settled on a cozy $60.8 million mansion in Beverly Hills, with plenty of room for them and their blended family. Now, just one year later, the house looks to be up for sale, deepening concerns that Jen and Ben are headed for another split. Twenty years later, and still, these two can’t figure it out! Jennifer Lopez attends the premiere of Netflix’s “ATLAS” at The Egyptian Theatre Hollywood ALONE on May 20, 2024 in Los Angeles. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) Bennifer’s Beverly Hills Mansion: Fans See Inside Their $60.8 Million Home Fan’s first guessed trouble was brewing for Jen and Ben when they noticed the couple had not been photographed together in several months. Jennifer attended the Met Gala alone, and Ben was absent from all of her red carpet appearances for the movie, Atlas. Then, concern reached a pique when both Ben and Jennifer were spotted house hunting – without the other! And now, their home together, a beautiful Beverly Hills estate they bought in May 2023 for a reported $60,850,000, is seemingly being prepped to be on the market. According to the Daily Mail, snaps of the couple’s home have been added to the realtor site Zillow. The new photos of the home’s interior were uploaded to the website on June 1 and June 5, according to the outlet. The newly built mansion features 17 bedrooms, 30 bathrooms, a gigantic swimming pool, and parking for 80 vehicles. According to Zillow, the couple’s home also comes complete with “a one-of-a-kind indoor sports complex” with a basketball, pickleball, gym and boxing ring. There is also a sports bar, outdoor lounging, and extensive grounds. Sounds like paradise. Only one reason we can think of to leave… Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez attend the Los Angeles premiere of Amazon MGM Studios “This Is Me…Now: A Love Story” at Dolby Theatre on February 13, 2024 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images) Bennifer Headed Towards A Divorce – Or Do They Need Cash?! It’s important to note that their mansion is still listed as sold on the website, with a date of sale from May 2023. That means it has yet to be put on the market. Selling their lavish love nest seems to be a pretty clear indication that Bennifer is headed towards a divorce. Then again, there could be another reason. A week before this report, Jennifer announced that she was canceling her 2024 tour. In the announcement, Live Nation said Jennifer was “taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends.” But canceling the tour means losing a salary. This comes on the heels of her album and music movie “This Is Me…Now,” flopping – two projects that Jennifer bankrolled with her own money. So, perhaps selling the estate is a financial necessity? Too much mortgage, not enough money coming in? Time will tell, but here’s holding out hope that they’re downsizing, not divorcing.

Angelina Pivarnick is in trouble with the law. The veteran Jersey Shore star was arrested on June 2 at her home in the Garden State after some kind of incident that necessitated a visit from the Freehold Township Police Department. According to a municipal summons that was issued on Sunday, the MTV personality is facing charges that include simple assault, criminal mischief, obstructing the administration of law and resisting arrest.

(Photo by Manny Carabel/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) No further details are available at this time. It’s worth noting, however, that Pivarnick’s lawyer, James Leonard Jr., told Page Six late on Monday that the “very minor incident” was “exacerbated by an adverse reaction to prescribed over-the-counter medication,” adding in this interview: “We look forward to resolving this matter favorably and putting it behind us. “Angelina is home resting and has no further comment at this time.” Angelina Pivarnick attends iHeartRadio z100’s Jingle Ball 2023 Presented By Capital One at Madison Square Garden on December 8, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) We can also confirm that Angelina was never brought to the county jail because she was released on summons and just issued a ticket due to the degree of the crime. She is due in court next month for a hearing. Pivarnick shares the aforementioned home with fiancé Vinny Tortorella, but we have no idea if he played any role in whatever transpired over the weekend. Just under a year ago, the Jersey Shore star called 911 due to some kind of altercation between herself and Tortorella.

(Photo by Santiago Felipe/Getty Images for MTV) “I can confirm that Angelina did in fact call the police to her home. After speaking with the officers, Angelina decided not to file charges,” Leonard Jr. also told Page Six in a statement back then. “This matter is now closed. Moving forward, Angelina would ask for privacy as it pertains to her personal life.” Meanwhile, in a since-deleted Reddit post, an onlooker claimed he/she saw numerous police cars and an ambulance arrive at Angelina’s residence on Sunday. You may make of that whatever you would like to. We just hope everyone is involved is okay. Angelina Pivarnick visits SiriusXM at SiriusXM Studios on August 1, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) Pivarnick and Tortorella got engaged in April 2023, and are still very much together. Last summer, after Angelina’s 911 call, Tortorella’s lawyer, Elizabeth Rozin-Golinder, noted that the two remained engaged and living under the same roof, saying: “My client and Ms. Pivarnick are still engaged and are still residing together. Mr. Tortorella denies any act of impropriety that would warrant police involvement and denies any act of domestic violence occurred. “No charges have been pressed against my client by Ms. Pivarnick or law enforcement. I ask that his privacy be respected in this regard.” Angelina Pivarnick ARRESTED, Facing Assault and Mischief Charges was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

A very handsome face is returning to The Voice. Late on Wednesday, NBC revealed its lineup of coaches for Season 27 (yes, Season 27!) of this beloved singing competition, announcing that Adam Levine will be back in his former red chair this spring. Joining Levine and fellow veterans John Legend and Michael Bublé will be newcomer Kelsea Ballerini. The Voice remains a huge, huge hit on network television. (NBC) Levine was an original coach on The Voice, but he stepped away after Season 16. The Maroon 5 frontman served as a panelist on the show for the show’s very first episode, alongside Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green. He then went through a pretty huge personal scandal, however, as his dirty texts to a model who is NOT his wife went viral back in September 2022. Multiple models and/or social media users came out around that time and accused Levine of having inappropriate contact with them. Adam Levine attends the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 13, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) The artist addressed the rumors back then, and admitted that he had cheated in a way. “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,” he said via statement, adding: “I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life.” In June 2023, Behati Prinsloo welcomed her and Levine’s third child and the spouses seem to be on perfectly fine terms at this point.

She is no stranger to The Voice, either, having previously servied as Season 16 battle advisor and filling in as coach during season 20, both instances for Team Kelly Clarkson. Coaches for season 26, which is scheduled to air this fall, include Bublé, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani. Adam Levine of Maroon performs onstage during Audacy’s 10th Annual We Can Survive at Prudential Center on October 14, 2023 in Newark, New Jersey. (Photo by Manny Carabel/Getty Images for Audacy) In May 2019, Levine opened up about his surprising decision to leave The Voice in a lengthy note posted to Instagram. “About 8 years ago, Mark Burnett convinced us to sign up for this show where you sit in a big red chair with your back turned away from the singers on the stage. First thank you must go to Mark. We had no idea what we were doing or where it was going,” he began in the message, concluding with praise for Shelton as follows: “I couldn’t hide my love for you if I tried,” he addressed the 47-year-old country star. “Seriously. I tried. Can’t do it. Our friendship is and always will be one for the books. “Whatever this whole surreal experience was, I’m just happy I got to experience it with you. You’re my brother for life.” The Voice Season 27: Meet the Coaches! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Kalani just stunned fans with the revelation that she and Dallas have welcomed a new baby. No one even knew that she was pregnant!

She didn’t need to explain, but we’re glad that she exposed her husband’s cheating. (Image Credit: TLC) Kalani Faagata just had a baby! Late on Tuesday, June 4, Kalani Faagata took to Instagram with a fun surprise for her fans and followers. “Meet our daughter,” she announced alongside a series of cute emojies. However, all eyes were on the photos themselves — showing an adorably swaddled newborn, all bundled up in lavender cloth. The photos appeared to be from the hospital, but this adorable baby already has a cute and expressive face. So precocious! Both Kalani Faagata and boyfriend Dallas Nuez shared the post. Additionally, in the comments, Dallas credited Kalani’s sister, fan-favorite Kolini Faagata, with taking these perfect photos of her latest little nibling. Kalani Faagata very diplomatically asks for a new set of bedding, because she does not plan to share any with her husband. Good. (Image Credit: TLC) ’90 Day Fiance’ castmate congratulations poured in for Kalani’s baby news Fan-favorite Debbie Johnson wrote: “Congratulations, I didn’t know you were expecting.” She was not alone. “Omg, congratulations,” wrote Liz Woods. Memorably, Kalani confided in Liz about Dallas while 90 Day: The Last Resort filmed in very early 2023. Tiffany Franco, Anny Francisco, Emily Bieberly, David Toborowsky, Kenneth Niedermeier, Sumit Singh, Danielle Mullins Jbali, Daniele Gates, and Larissa Lima all shared positive responses as well. Kalani Faagata explains to her castmates that her husband didn’t only cheat once. He cheated all along. By her count, about twelve times. (Image Credit: TLC) Many 90 Day Fiance fans will recall that there were pregnancy rumors circulating about Kalani late last summer. At the time, Kalani shared that she was not pregnant despite fan speculation — but that she was eager to have a third child regardless. That was in September of 2023. Assuming that Kalani welcomed this baby girl as recently as it seems, it’s very likely that she conceived either during that month or close to it. Speaking to the confessional camera on 90 Day: The Last Resort, Kalani Faagata explains her disinterest in her husband. (Image Credit: TLC) But ’90 Day’ critics are sure to weigh in Baby news can soften even the hardest of hearts. But many of the same people who declared that Kalani and Dallas were doomed as a couple are probably recoiling at the news. Many of these are people who accused Kalani of moving too quickly. People who think that Kalani “cheated” (remember, Dallas began as a “hall pass” after Asuelu very much did cheat) resent the romance. And then there are people who simply believe that a rebound romance will never last. Well, Kalani and Dallas have been together since early autumn of 2022. Now, just weeks before summer of 2024 begins, they’re introducing their newborn to the world. We wish this precious family the very best. ’90 Day’ Baby Alert: Kalani Faagata Welcomes First Child with Dallas Nuez! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

What happened to Hilaria Baldwin and her accent? On Tuesday, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin announced their reality show. The news elicited surprise, confusion, and jokes. But another aspect of the baffling reality series news drew people’s attention: Hilaria’s voice. In the past, her changing accent has drawn criticism and accusations of dishonesty. And the debate just rages on! Hilaria Baldwin attends the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights’ 2023 Ripple of Hope Gala on December 06, 2023. (Photo Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights) ‘The Baldwins’ is coming in 2025 It doesn’t look like Hilaria Baldwins’ Real Housewives aspirations are going to become reality. So she and her family are slumming it on TLC. Though The Baldwins is a working title, the series will follow Alec Baldwin, Hilaria Baldwin, and their seven young children. Their eldest (shared) child is 10, while their youngest is not yet 2. Weirdly, the show’s announcement comes amidst ongoing news about Alec Baldwin’s legal troubles in the aftermath of the tragic Rust shooting. The trailer dropped just over one month before Baldwin’s trial. TLC released this promotional image for The Baldwins, a 2025 reality series starring Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin. (Image Credit: TLC) The silly news broke on Instagram, where Alec and Hilaria Baldwin pitched the series to their followers. Both Alec and Hilaria seemed to have a casual air, as the intro featured multiple takes alongside a montage of their children engaging in age-appropriate rambunctiousness. In other words, it’s supposed to be deeply chaotic. Despite some grim circumstances (and the technical possibility that Alec Baldwin could potentially be behind bars when the show premieres), the video did garner a lot of positive replies. But then the debate over Hilaria’s voice took over… Many commenters took notice of Hilaria Baldwin and her voice “Will Hillary be speaking with a Bostonian or Spanish accent? Maybe every other episode she can switch???” reads one comment. “Ain’t gonna work, pal. Ain’t gonna work,” declared another commenter. “Tell me again how Spanish your wife is. Like you told [David] Letterman, ‘My wife, she’s from Spain.’ On national TV. Zero credibility. BOTH of you.” An additional comment mocked an embarrassing flub of Hilaria’s, writing: “How you say? Cucumber?” Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin attend the American Museum of Natural History’s 2023 Museum Gala at the American Museum of Natural History on November 30, 2023. (Photo Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images for the American Museum of Natural History ) What is this all about? Well, Hilaria Baldwin has ties to Mallorca, Spain. She has, at times, presented herself as a Spanish woman. Born in Boston, Massachusetts as Hillary Lynn Hayward-Thomas, she is of English, French-Canadian, German, Irish, and Slovak descent. Hilaria has in the past stated that she grew up in a Spanish-speaking household and that her family traveled regularly to Spain. Hilaria’s parents even moved to Mallorca in 2011.

(Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for Glamour) Hilaria has faced accusations of ‘impersonating’ a Spanish woman In 2015, Hilaria Baldwin appeared on the Today Show for a cooking segment. While making gazpacho, she seemingly forgot what cucumbers are called. “We have, um, how do you say?” she said at the time before correctly identifying the fruit. She would later explain that she simply forgot the word amidst one of her first times on television. The moment received mockery at the time. The slip of the tongue is what one might expect from someone who did not grow up speaking English, rather than from a woman from Boston. In 2020, Twitter users began pointing out inconsistencies and allegedly deceptive behavior from Hilaria. This is when the public, at large, came to realize that she is from Boston. Hilaria’s former talent agency’s website listed her birthplace as Mallorca. And in 2019, Hilaria stated on a podcast that her family had not moved to the United States until college. Notably, some of her former high school classmates who remembered her in Boston found that claim perplexing. Another accidental misstatement?

(Photo Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images for PEN America) Hilaria Baldwin now speaks with an American accent Though HIlaria defended her past statements, insisting that she felt like the child of two cultures because of her upbringing, she did at times sound apologetic. Of course, at other times, she sounded defensive. Following the controversy, she has begun speaking in public with a more traditional American accent. In the teaser video for The Baldwins, Hilaria speaks in an American accent. This came as a surprise to people who have heard some of her previous public appearances.

You better wake up and pay attention, because the sequel to Sister Act celebrated a milestone anniversary without two of its biggest stars. Lauryn Hill and Jennifer Love Hewitt were nobodies in Hollywood when they were cast in Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit. But 30 years after its release, you’d be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t know both of their names. One is a Grammy-winning music icon; the other is a TV superstar. But neither of them showed up for the reunion special hosted by Whoopi Goldberg. And fans are devastated. The Cast of ‘Sister Act 2’ Reunites Without Lauryn Hill or Jennifer Love Hewitt or Maggie Smith The gang was almost all together again. Whoopi Goldberg, who led an all-star cast in both the Sister Act and Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit films, brought together the cast of the sequel for a special reunion show. Celebrating the 30th anniversary, stars like Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena, and Sheryl Lee Ralph joined Whoopi and her The View co-hosts to look back on the iconic movie and share memories from the set. (The View/Youtube) They were also joined by the “student” cast members, who are all grown up now, but still recognizable. There was Ryan Toby who played Ahmal, Whoopi’s daughter Alex Martin, and Tanya Trotter, who is best known today as one half of the Grammy-nominated duo The War and Treaty, but back then played Lauryn Hill’s best friend. You might remember her bes for singing “His Eye is on the Sparrow” with Lauryn in the film. But noticeably absent from the celebration were three of the movie’s biggest stars. First, Maggie Smith did not attend. The acclaimed actress, known for her roles in Harry Potter and Downton Abbey, also played Mother Superior in both Sister Act films. Given that she’s now 89 and lives in the U.K., it’s understandable that she didn’t make the trip. Where Were Rita and Margaret? Before she was Grammy-winning recording superstar Lauryn Hill, fans knew her as Rita Wilson – aka, her character in Sister Act 2. Her tough-talking, high-note belting high school character was Lauryn’s big break, and it set her on the bath of her explosive career. Sheryl Lee Ralph played Lauryn’s mother and in her absence, her film momma talked up her daughter, who she had recently reunited with at a concert. Sheryl gushed that it was great to see her “ grow into the woman she’s become” and teased that she knew it would “work out” for her, though she was initially skeptical about the Fugees. Also missing from the event was Jennifer Love Hewitt, who played the vain Margaret in the movie, her nose always buried in a compact mirror. However, she did send in a video message (see above), along with some other stars who couldn’t make the taping, like Jenifer Lewis and Erica Campbell. Fans Call Our Lauryn Hill As a pivotal part of the film, it was heartbreaking for a lot of fans to watch the reunion go on without her. “Smh @ Lauryn Hill for not coming back for the Sister Act Reunion,” posted one watcher on X. “Lauryn Hill showed up 5hrs late huh?” teased another on X, referring to incidents in the past where the singer kept fans waiting in concert. And then some people even got a little mean. “Lauryn hill not showing up messing this up is very on brand for her. Lmao,” posted another X user. But despite her absence, it was a joyful, JOYFUL experience for all. (The View/Youtube) Whoopi Goldberg Cries During Reunion Performance While it was sad not to see some of the stars that made Sister Act 2 so special, the movie’s lead was still in tears by the show’s end. Whoopi found herself wiping away tears as her “students” recreated the film’s climactic performance of “Joyful, Joyful.” Tanya Trotter took over the opening solo portion for the absent Lauryn Hill, and then it was off to the races. As the number ended, Whoopi could be seen overwhelmed with emotion, with tears welling in her eyes as she hugged Sheryl. When is Sister Act 3 coming again???

Brittany Cartwright would like to set her romantic record straight. As you are very likely aware, the Bravo personality announced in February that she had split from Jax Taylor, her husband of four years. “Jax and I are taking time apart and I made the decision to move into another home to take some space for the sake of my mental health,” Cartwright explained at the time. Brittany Cartwright attends “The GOAT” Los Angeles Tastemaker Event at Ysabel on April 30, 2024 in West Hollywood, California. (Photo by Anna Webber/Getty Images for Prime Video) On Tuesday night’s season finale of The Valley, viewers went behind the scenes of this decision to some extent, witnessing a blowout between the estranged spouses. “You’re not just gonna get away with the way you’ve treated me for all these years,” Cartwright said to Taylor at one point on this episode. Elsewhere, Brittany’s friends said Jax had referred to her as “fat” and said she was “lazy” and mocked her for not having any friends in Los Angeles. “Jax has been saying that he’s gonna go to therapy for years now,” the 35-year-old added in a confessional. “The day before we pick cameras back up, he all of a sudden has an appointment to go see the doctor. This is all a front. “This is what he wants everyone to see and believe that he’s actually gonna do these things to change. I bet you money he will not do it.” Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright attend the Los Angeles special screening of Lionsgate’s “Midnight in the Switchgrass” at Regal LA Live on July 19, 2021 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Indeed, Taylor later admitted he did not go to therapy. The thing is, this finale was filmed many months ago. Since then, Taylor has hinted that the couple wasn’t really breaking up. So, where do things stand at the moment? Cartwright opened up about her marital status in a new interview with E! News. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright attend âA Ride Through the Agesâ: Wrangler Capsule Collection Launch at Fred Segal Sunset at Fred Segal on September 19, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Erik Voake/Getty Images for Wrangler) “We’re definitely still separated,” Cartwright now tells E!. “We’ve said going into this that we could test the waters with other people if we wanted to.” Just a few days ago, Taylor did step out with his rumored new girlfriend. Cartwright, it should be noted, was not wearing her wedding ring during the interview. She she knows the decision to see other people “seems weird and might be crazy to a lot of people,” but emphasizes she was “pushed” to make the choice to walk away… at least for now. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright attend the Global Non Profit F Cancer L.A. Event at Create Nightclub with Dj Kap Slap on November 17, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jesse Grant/Getty Images for FCancer) Cartwright also told E! she wants Jax to “focus on his mental health,” adding that while she was right he wouldn’t see a psychologist, he’s currently “working on himself in different ways.” This is a much more sympathetic tone than the one Brittany struck on The Valley finale. “I’ve been cheated on, I’ve been disrespected. I’ve been humiliated,” she said via confessional of what her relationship has been like over the years. “I have been through a lot of pain in this relationship. It’s been very public, the pain I’ve had to deal with. I can’t deal with it anymore. I’ve come into my own. I make a lot of money and I just feel like I have woken up. “I feel so much stronger now, I know I’ll be okay. I know my worth and I know I do not deserve to be in a relationship like this. What was I thinking staying with him this long?” Brittany Cartwright: I Am STILL Separated From Jax Taylor! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Is Lady Gaga pregnant? In the past, Lady Gaga has shared troubling health news with fans. It is not unreasonable that some hoped that she might have a more positive announcement for the world. Over the weekend, some busybodies (well-intentioned or otherwise) thought they spied a possible baby bump. Now, Lady Gaga herself is responding – with Taylor Swift’s help! Lady Gaga attends the 95th Annual Academy Awards on March 12, 2023. (Photo Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images) Is Lady Gaga pregnant? Late on Tuesday, June 4, the incomparable Lady Gaga took to TikTok to address fans. She didn’t hesitate to delve directly into the pregnancy rumors that had emerged. “Not pregnant,” she began — not even touching upon the speculation before debunking it. Instead, the phenomenal musician explained, she was: “Just down bad cryin’ at the gym.” If you didn’t catch the reference, Lady Gaga was pulling from the lyrics to “Down Bad” from Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department album. Within the video itself, Lady Gaga flashed a smile. Despite her makeup, she definitely looked dress for the gym. Lady Gaga performs onstage during the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022. (Photo Credit: Rich Fury/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) ‘Baby bump’ speculation can so easily be body-shaming TikTok commenters flooded Lady Gaga’s replies with reassurances and affirmations. “People can be so mean. You are gorgeous Gaga. We love you!” assured one commenter. Another accurately described the singer, writing: “You are perfect.” Lady Gaga attends the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) Not all speculation is harmful. In fact, many celebrities — including Lady Gaga — have and continue to use fan speculation as a positive PR strategy. For example, amidst the hurtful “baby bump” buzz, fans also spied Lady Gaga’s large diamond ring. This fueled speculation about a Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky engagement, though this remains unconfirmed. But whispers about a relationship status getting a little more serious are a far cry from discussing someone’s body. We all hate to think that press coverage of Gaga’s visit to sister Natali Germonotta’s rehearsal dinner prompted the singer to feel that she needed to change her body. Lady Gaga makes a surprise appearance to celebrate the Launch of Haus Labs by Lady Gaga at Sephora Westfield Century City store with Sephora Beauty Advisor team on June 16, 2022. (Photo Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images for Haus Labs by Lady Gaga) Are Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky engaged? Though Gaga was quick to address the pregnancy rumors, neither she nor Polansky have confirmed (or denied) whether they are currently engaged. However, the two first became romantically linked in the public eye back in early 2020. Gaga has had two engagements in the past. Neither worked out. Fans hope that, no matter her relationship status at the moment, that the beloved talent can find happiness. Lady Gaga attends the 95th Annual Academy Awards on March 12, 2023. (Photo Credit: Arturo Holmes/Getty Images ) Lady Gaga is no stranger to making sensible political statements. Her TikTok debunking the baby bump rumors was no exception. She followed up her clarification by writing: “Register to vote at www.headcount.org” on her video. 2024 is an election year. While it would be so nice for there to be an election year that “doesn’t matter,” that has yet to happen in any of our lifetimes. Gaga is right: we all have to do our part. Taylor Swift Defends Lady Gaga Over ‘Irresponsible’ Pregnant Rumors As Instagram bloggers quickly documented, Taylor Swift chimed in to discuss the creepy fixation on Lady Gaga’s body that led to this reaction. “Can we all agree that it’s invasive & irresponsible to comment on a woman’s body,” Taylor Swift wrote. “Gaga doesn’t owe anyone an explanation & neither does any woman.” She’s very correct. Whether or not a person is actually pregnant, it’s unclear why people feel the need to speculate. And it’s even worse than many feel entitled to answers. Enough is enough. Lady Gaga Pregnant?!

Martin Lawrence and Will Smith star in the new summer blockbuster, Bad Boys: Ride or Die. Without getting too morbid, however, many observers out there took a recent look at Lawrence at a public event and are suddenly sitting back and asking: Uhhh, is this long-time actor gonna die soon?!? Martin Lawrence attends SiriusXM’s Town Hall with the cast of ‘Bad Boys: Ride Or Die’ at SiriusXM Studios on June 4, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images for SiriusXM) Speculation regarding Lawrence’s physical state started to circulate last month when the star and his Bad Boys: Ride or Die co-star, Will Smith, attended the movie’s Los Angeles premiere. In a viral footage from the event, Smith certainly appeared to step in and assist Lawrence stand as the pair addressed the audience… with the latter actor looking around in what appeared to be a confused manner. It wasn’t exactly an elaborate or obvious move on Smith’s part. But this is the Internet. It doesn’t take much for people to ask questions and/or jump to conclusions. Martin Lawrence and Will Smith pose during a photoshoot for the movie ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ at Angel de la Independencia on May 31, 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico. (GETTY) Chatter about his condition even reached Lawrence, who responded to the general concern on Monday as a guest on the Erbo in the Morning radio program. “I’m fine. I’m in God’s hands. I’m blessed. I’m glad to be waking up every day and everything. No need for people to be concerned,” Lawrence said during this press stop, prior to quipping: “And I’m healthy as hell! Stop, stop, stop the rumors!” On this radio show, Lawrence said his bewildered expression in the aforementioned video was due to the impressive size of the crowd. “I was like, ‘Oh, this is rock concert stuff. What the hell is going on? For a movie?'” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, man.'” Will Smith and Martin Lawrence pose during the red carpet for the movie ‘Bad Boys: Ride or Die’ at Cinepolis Parque Toreo on June 1, 2024 in Naucalpan de Juarez, Mexico.

Then, in 1999, the actor fell into a coma after experience heat exhaustion in the middle of exercise. Bad Boys: Ride or Die, which also stars Vanessa Hudgens, Alexander Ludwig, Eric Dane, Ioan Gruffudd Joe Pantoliano and Rhea Seehorn, will hit theaters on June 7.

Kate Middleton might not return to “normal” duties, even after her cancer recovery. Unless she makes a surprise appearance during one of the UK’s goofier events, Kate Middleton may remain largely unseen until 2025 or beyond. The Princess of Wales’ ongoing cancer battle requires a tremendous amount of time, energy, and recovery time. But royal insiders wonder if Kate will ever step back into her previous level of royal activity. Catherine, Princess of Wales attends The “Together At Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 08, 2023. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) According to Prince William, Kate Middleton is ‘doing well In May, Prince William told a hospital administrator in the Isles of Scilly that Kate was “doing well.” At the time, it was a casual conversation. He also talked about his children and more. However, his allusion to Kate’s ongoing recovery is consistent with the overall royal message. Following Kate Middleton’s cancer reveal in March, all of the official statements have pushed the idea that her chemotherapy treatments are merely a precaution. Catherine, Princess of Wales attends the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on December 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Stephen Pond/Getty Images) As spring has continued, Kate has been showing off signs of apparent recovery. Witnesses have spotted and even photographed her running errands, sometimes with family and sometimes alone. Given the royal family’s immense wealth and resources, most interpret these to be PR stunts. Kate does not have to leave her home to purchase a blouse or shop for groceries; she goes out into public because she wants people to see her doing so. This certainly drives home the impression that she is doing better these days. Is it true? Catherine, Princess of Wales meets with guests during a reception for members of the Diplomatic Corps at Buckingham Palace, in London, on December 5, 2023. (Photo Credit: JONATHAN BRADY/POOL/AFP via Getty Images) How is Kate Middleton’s recovery really going? According to what an inside source recently told Us Weekly, Kate Middleton’s recovery is allowing her to continue acting as a mother to her and William’s children. Which is a little more reassuring than running errands. “Kate’s feeling strong enough to be very involved with the kids,” the insider assured. The source characterized: “She’s been an active parent.” Catherine, Princess Of Wales attends the opening of Evelina London’s new children’s day surgery unit on December 05, 2023. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) “Kate’s recovery is going well,” a second inside source described. “She’s not able to see many people because she is susceptible to getting sick,” this second insider explained. “And they don’t want her compromised,” the source reasoned. “But she’s up and about.” Her royal duties remain out of the question Kensington Palace has already confirmed that Kate Middleton will not be attending rehearsals for the Trooping the Colour ceremony. (Trooping the Colour is a categorically absurd celebration of the reigning British monarch’s birthday) The same entity that has so eagerly thrown Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle under the bus time and time again leapt to Kate’s defense, emphasizing her need for “space and the privacy to recover.” Meanwhile, the second inside source told Us Weekly that Kate’s team is “reevaluating what she’s going to be able to take on when she comes back.” Catherine, Princess of Wales during her visit to Sebby’s Corner on November 24, 2023. (Photo Credit: Frank Augstein – WPA Pool/Getty Images) According to that insider: “She may never come back in the role that people saw her in before.” Not even when Charles (eventually) signals that things will return to normal, apparently. “The announcement that the royals won’t be able to work as much has been unexpected, but it will allow Kate and William to spend more time together,” that same source explained. “They’ve been reconnecting and are closer than ever.” The insider reiterated: “Her role may look very different. She’s looking at what it will shape into.” Kate Middleton: New Recovery Update Says She’ll Never Return To Royal Duties … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Kailyn Lowry would like to issue a correction. On more than one semi-recent occasion, the former Teen Mom 2 star has said she was done having kids. Back in November, Lowry said as much during an episode of one of her podcasts, stating very straightforwardly: “No more pregnancies, no more surprise pregnancies, unplanned pregnancies, pregnancy, surrogacy, none of it.” We’re up close here with Kailyn Lowry on an episode of Teen Mom. (Image Credit: MTV) A couple months later, after revealing she had given birth to twins, Lowry said the doctor had tied her tubes as part of the C-section that enabled her to welcome her latest son and daughter into the world. Kailyn has also said, meanwhile, that her boyfriend Elijah had gotten a vasectomy. So there we have it, right? Seven children is enough for Kailyn Lowry and now she’s all set with the members of her immediate family, right? Well, maybe not, as it turns out… Kailyn Lowry looks very unhappy in this screenshot from Teen Mom 2. (Image Credit: MTV) “Would I adopt a child? Maybe I would explore an opportunity like that,” Lowry said on her Barely Famous podcast a short time ago. “Maybe not even adopt, but, like, maybe foster a child. I feel like that would be more of something that I would entertain more than, like, IVF or something. Because that feels like a lot. “And, I don’t know; I would rather help another child that needs a home than bring another one in. Like, I think 7 is a lot.” Most people would agree that seven is a lot. Most would also agree that fostering a child in need is also a very admirable decision. Kailyn Lowry attends the 27th Annual Webby Awards at Cipriani Wall Street on May 15, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) As cited above, the Teen Mom alum welcomed twins Verse and Valley last fall with Elijah Scott; the two also share son Rio, 15 months. But that’s far from all! Lowry is also mom to Creed, 3, and Lux, with ex Chris Lopez; son Lincoln with ex Javi Marroquin; and son Isaac with ex Jo Rivera. Kailyn has tried to explain in the past how she juggles such a household, but has also confessed that having this many kids is pretty darn challenging. Kailyn Lowry is front and center in this scene from a 2019 episode of Teen Mom 2. (Image Credit: MTV) If you include live births and miscarriages, Lowry has been pregnant for over a decade of her life. She’s only 32 years old and isn’t interested in IVF. “I personally am not willing to put my body through it. I don’t wanna deal with the hormones,” she said on air. “I get it, that’s some people’s only option. But for me, personally, I would rather explore the idea of, like, adoption, foster, surrogacy.” Kailyn Lowry appears in this screen capture from an episode of Teen Mom 2. (Image Credit: MTV) And when it comes to fostering? In the hope that the fostered boy or girl would then find adoptive parents down the line? “I could never take it off the table,” she said during an interview last month. “But right now, it’s just not realistic for what we wouldn’t be able to give, everything that would need to be given and what we want to provide. It’s just not possible right now.” Kailyn Lowry: I May Actually Have Even More Kids! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article
