Although Jenelle Evans confirmed a report that claimed David Eason’s ex, Olivia Leedham, previously won ‘sole legal and physical custody’ of their son Kaden, she slammed the information as ‘OLD.’

Jenelle Evans, 27, is clarifying a shocking report about David Eason’s custody agreement with his ex, Olivia Leedham, which surfaced on Aug. 30. A North Carolina judge reportedly granted Olivia “sole legal and physical custody” of their son Kaden, 5, on June 29, according to court documents that Radar Online read. But Jenelle is filling in the gaps over what allegedly happened between then and now! “The information Radar got is true but OLD,” the Teen Mom 2 star EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife. “Olivia tried filing against David but it didn’t last long after David took her back to court.” Since the judge’s reported order, Jenelle told us that David and Olivia have allegedly “worked out their differences in mediation twice.”

So, that would mean David didn’t lost total custody of his son, according to his wife. “There is a custody order in place as of now. Olivia Leedham has primary custody but David still has all his rights as a father,” Jenelle claimed. “The only way David can lose full custody is if they were to serve David with a court date and he didn’t show up on purpose. David has legal representation and is going to handle this issue with visitation. As of now there is a visitation order in place.” HollywoodLife has reached out to Olivia on these claims, but didn’t hear back by the time of publication.

Olivia had reportedly won sole custody of Kaden in Sept. 2014, but by Jan. 2018, David was awarded “every-other-weekend custody” of his son, according to Radar Online. However, David’s visitation rights were allegedly suspended by Nov. 2018 after Kaden supposedly “began displaying a series of alarming behaviors related to visitation with the Defendant (David)”  such as crying “uncontrollably” and begging “not to visit” his father, according to the court documents. Jenelle fought these claims, telling HollywoodLife, “When Kaden would come over in the last about a year ago, he wouldn’t want to go home. When Olivia called Kaden didn’t want to talk to her because he was having so much fun swimming in our pool.”

However, two troubling spots in Olivia’s court filing were Jenelle’s 911 call from Oct. 2018 (the MTV star had claimed David assaulted her, which she later denied) and a video of David’s firearms and weapons shared in Dec. 2018. The North Carolina court reportedly took issue with the latter, according to Radar: “The court finds this video disturbing and creates safety issues that the Court deems credible.”

Jenelle and David recently won back custody of their daughter Ensley, 2, and Jenelle’s son Kaiser Griffith, 4, who all returned to living with them on The Land in early July. Child Protective Services reportedly seized the children shortly after David confessed to shooting Jenelle’s dog, Nugget, on May 1.

With the semifinals around the corner, only seven of 12 ‘America’s Got Talent’ contestants would be moving forward after tonight. Find out what happened with our recap!

There are eight finalists left on season 14 of America’s Got Talent, but not everyone will be making it to next week’s episode. Host Terry Crews revealed the top five acts would be safe after putting on an incredible display on the Aug. 27 episode. But while another five acts’ unfortunate fates have already been decided, there were three talented contestants who could still make it into the semifinals if they won over America and got the votes to stay with the Dunkin’ save. He revealed those three people are: comedian Jackie Fabulous, Lukas and his dog Falco, and Marcin Patrzalek.

While waiting for America to cast their votes, the cast of Celestia put on an incredible performance of acrobatics, aerobics, and daring stunts. At one point, a man shot an arrow at a balloon being held in a woman’s mouth. Another guy jumped rope while keeping pace on a giant moving hamster wheel in the air. Now that’s talent!

Early on, Terry’s Golden Buzzer act, The Detroit Choir, found out they were one of the seven acts moving into the semifinals. Gonzo, however, was sent home. Later, it came down between beatboxer group Berywam and operatic child Emanne Beasha. The four Frenchman were ultimately voted off – but Emanne is safe! Matthew Richardson, Dom Chambers, and Eric Chien were the next group to find out their fate. Eric won a semifinals spot first, but it wasn’t over yet for the other two acts… yet. Terry revealed one of these two contestants would be safe and that contestant was… Dom!

After a break, it was Mackenzie and Benicio Bryant up against each other. It ended up being a great night for the teenage singer, as Benicio was named the next semifinalist! It was then time to find out which one of the Dunkin’ saves would be heading into the semifinals. It ended up going to… Jackie Fabulous!

But it wasn’t quite the end for Lukas and Falco or Marcin. The judges – Gabrielle Union, Julianne Hough, Howie Mandel and Simon Cowell – were given a chance to decide which of these two incredible acts they would like to save. “I gotta go with something I’ve never seen before… Marcin,” Howie voted. Gabrielle then voted for Marcin as well, calling him a “once in a lifetime talent.” Simon thinks Marcin has the potential to win the entire thing, so he provided the much-needed third vote at the last second. Marcin is in! That’s a wrap!

Cassie had fans buzzing when she revealed that she’ll soon be known as Mrs. Fine, after celebrity trainer Alex Fine proposed at the Compton Cowboys horse ranch on Aug. 24! Here’s everything you need to know about her new fiancé.

UPDATE (8/27/19, 7:00 p.m. ET): Amazing news! The gorgeous trainer otherwise known as Alex Fine, 26, is now engaged to “Level Up” singer Cassie, 33. Alex popped the question at the Compton Cowboys ranch in California on Aug. 24, 2019, and his new fiancée broke the big news to her Instagram fans three days later. “I love you best friend. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you,” she wrote. Now study up on Cassie’s groom-to-be below, who’s also expecting a baby girl with the R&B singer.

ORIGINAL STORY: On the same day that Diddy professed his love to Cassie, 32, with a gorgeous picture and heart emoji on Instagram, she turned right around and posted a photo of herself kissing someone else on Dec. 29, 2018! So, who’s this sexy new guy in her life?! He’s a trainer who works with celebrities named Alex Fine. Alex is seven years Cassie’s junior, and it’s unclear how they met or what their exact status is, but things definitely seem to be heating up! Here’s more to know about him:

1. He works on fitness with tons of celebrities. Some of Alex’s celebrity clientele include Mark Consuelos, Jennifer Aniston, Odell Beckham Jr., Reggie Bush and KJ Apa. The 25-year-old got into the fitness field by interning with CT Fletcher and Jason Walsh, who helped Bradley Cooper get in his best shape ever for American Sniper. From there, he started his own personal training program and opened a gym in California. His client base grew based on referrals from friends.

2. He was a D1 athlete in college. Working with so many professional athletes isn’t intimidating to Alex, because he was a serious competitive athlete himself. Alex played football at Central Michigan University, although he never saw action in any games during his career. He graduated CMU in 2015.

3. He’s a bull rider. When he’s not in the gym working out, Alex rides bulls. “It was a bet that started when I met one of my clients, Justin Pugh, who plays on the New York Giants,” Alex told The Manual. “I thought I could do it and he didn’t. I’d never ridden a horse before.”

4. He wants to branch out in the entertainment industry. Now that Alex has his footing in personal training, he’s ready to branch out and expand his career. “I’ll keep the training company but branch out into other businesses as well,” he admitted. “I’m going to start producing TV documentaries.”

5. He’s a charitable guy. While in college, Alex volunteered for the Special Olympics. He also helped in the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts in 2017 by joining a team that rescued 30 people stranded in a nursing home and organizing a much-needed food drive.

Kelly Dodd finally learned about the ‘super damaging’ rumor Vicki Gunvalson first addressed in the Aug. 20 episode of ‘RHOC,’ which prompted Kelly to slam her ‘dangerous’ co-star in next week’s episode!

All aboard the rumor train! Kelly Dodd, 43, wasn’t left in the dark over speculation of her alleged participation in a “train,” which first surfaced during a cast dinner in the Aug. 20 episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Thanks to a phone call from someone at that dinner, co-star Braunwyn Windham-Burke, Kelly was able to clear the record as seen in a teaser for the Aug. 26 episode of RHOC. “This is absolutely ludicrous. I’ve never done a threesome, let alone a train,” Kelly announced during a confessional, after revealing that Braunwyn gave Kelly a ring to inform her that “some rumors” were “circulating about [Kelly].”

This phone call happened soon after Braunwyn witnessed Vicki Gunvalson, 57, telling their castmates at dinner, “Kelly knows that I know more than I’ve said.” To Vicki’s horror, that confession led Tamra Judge to ask, “Are you talking about the train?” A day later, Kelly sat down with Braunwyn and their other co-star, Gina Kirschenheiter, to rehash the gossipy dinner, as you can also see in the sneak peek clip below. “So first of all, Vicki is a liar. She lied about cancer — the worst thing you could possibly lie about. The lady is dangerous,” Kelly ranted to Braunwyn and Gina.

Here’s the catch — Kelly wasn’t supposed to know about the rumor in the first place. “Shannon [Beador], Gina, Tamra and I agreed not to talk about the train rumor, but I thought they meant don’t tell anyone else. I didn’t assume they meant don’t tell Kelly,” Braunwyn explained in a confessional, but told Kelly that she’d “rather be a b**tch that starts sh**t than a liar.” Gina had her own advice for Kelly, which you can watch in the rest of the video below!

While Vicki kept the train rumor ambiguous at the cast dinner, she divulged even more details in a confessional in the Aug. 20 episode of RHOC. “We had a code of silence that none of us were going to talk about the choo choo train. Tamra, Shannon and I discussed it, and I said, ‘Nothing good can come from this. This is all going to be super damaging,'” Vicki said in last week’s episode. Yeah, something’s telling us Kelly didn’t enjoy the playback of that scene.

Kelly even went so far as to call Vicki a “bully” during an EXCLUSIVE interview with HollywoodLife in August! “I try not to let Vicki bother me. I try not to get upset with her. She does like to antagonize me. She likes to bully me,” Kelly claimed, adding, “Vicky loves to divide and conquer. That’s what she likes to do, and she does a great job of doing it.”

Ciara took to Instagram on Aug. 25 to share an adorable photo with her five-year-old son Future and two-year-old daughter Sienna as they all happily watched Russell Wilson playing with the Seattle Seahawks.

Ciara, 33, was all about showing her love for her hubby Russell Wilson, 30, as well as pride for his team, the Seattle Seahawks when she showed up to a game on Aug. 25. The singer brought her son Future, , who she shares with her rapper ex of the same name, and her daughter Sienna, 2, who she shares with Russell, to the game and shared a too-cute-for-words photo on Instagram. In the photo, the mother-daughter-son trio are all smiling and posing while wearing Seahawks jerseys. Little Sienna is also holding a box of raisins as she looks out on the field. “❤️🏈,” Ciara captioned the pic.

It didn’t take long for Russell to respond to the support with a sweet comment for everyone to see. “Family. ❤️❤️❤️🏈,” he wrote. Fans followed suit with more positive comments. “Such a beautiful family❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #goseahawks,” one fan wrote. “Family goals,” another enthused.

Ciara’s latest appearance at Russell’s fame doesn’t come as too much of a surprise considering how supportive she’s known to be of her quarterback love. The brunette beauty is so in love with her man that she’s willing to attend as many football games as possible this season, a previous source EXCLUSIVELY told HollywoodLife . “Ciara is going to do her best to make herself available for Russ’ schedule when football starts,” the source said. “It’s really important to her to be at as many games as possible. She loves to watch him and cheer him on and will bring the kids on the road with her. It’s really important to both of them to have family time all four of them together. They really love their life up in Seattle.”

In addition to wanting to be there to support Russell’s sports career, Ciara wants to expand her family with him and could do so by 2020. “They would absolutely love to have more kids,” the source explained of Ciara and Russell’s family plans. “They’re both busy now and with Russ starting football again. Maybe they’ll start trying in 2020, but not right now.”

Taylor Swift explained why she and Joe Alwyn keep their romance away from the public eye in a new interview.

Taylor Swift has no issue being vulnerable about her relationship with Joe Alwyn on her latest album, Lover, but she won’t discuss him in interviews. The singer, 29, revealed she and the British actor, 28, do this to maintain boundaries between their personal and professional lives.

“I’ve learned that if I do, people think it’s up for discussion, and our relationship isn’t up for discussion,” she told The Guardian in an interview. “If you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we’d be talking about it – but it’s just that it goes out into the world. That’s where the boundary is, and that’s where my life has become manageable. I really want to keep it feeling manageable.”

While this is the single most private relationship Taylor has ever been in throughout her 13-year long career, that doesn’t mean she skipped out on getting intimate on her seventh album. Multiple tracks on Lover, including “Paper Rings,” “I Think He Knows,” “London Boy,” “Daylight,” and the title track all allude to how in love with Joe she really is. She also included a diary entry about keeping her relationship with the The Favourite star a secret in the fourth deluxe edition of her album.

“I get all scared about the future because so much has changed in the last year of my life. I mean this time last year I was living in LA, getting ready for Grammys and now, I’m essentially based in London, hiding out trying to protect us from the nasty world that just wants to ruin things,” she wrote in a journal entry dated Jan. 3, 2017. “We have been together and no one has found out for 3 months now. I want it to stay that way because I don’t want anything about this to change or become too complicated or intruded upon. But it’s senseless to worry about someday not being happy when I am happy now. Ok. Breathe.”

It’s been ten years since Kanye West stole Taylor Swift’s thunder at the MTV VMAs, and now it’s been revealed that Pink chewed him out after his stunt and the whole ordeal left Beyonce in tears!

“I’mma let you finish,” Kanye West said to Taylor Swift on Sept. 13, 2009, and the world hasn’t been the same since. The interruption has become one, if not the iconic moment of the MTV Video Music Awards. Though Kanye was trying to defend Beyonce after Taylor defeated her to win the award, his actions actually left Bey feeling “sad” and embarrassed. “I walk behind the stage,” Van Toffler, former president of Viacom (who owns MTV) told Billboard when discussing the moment’s 10th anniversary, “and sure enough, there is Beyoncé and her dad, and she is crying. She was like, ‘I didn’t know this was going to happen, I feel so bad for her.’”

Beyonce wasn’t the only one caught up in her feelings over Ye’s stunt. “The crowd in Radio City just turned on [Kanye],” James Montgomery, former senior correspondent/on-air talent for MTV News, told Billboard. “People were booing and hissing. During the commercial break, he went back down to his seat and Pink walked up to him and got in his face. I wasn’t close enough to hear the conversation, but she was pointing in his face and nodding her head back and forth, and giving him her two cents about how f*cked up this was and then stormed off.”

Thankfully, Van Toffler and the rest of the VMA producers managed to turn lemons into lemonade. After seeing Beyonce in tears, “that’s when it started to click in my head, and maybe hers, about potentially having the whole arc play out in that one night,” Toffler said. “[A]t some point I let her know that she was probably going to be up on the podium at the end of the show for an award. And wouldn’t it be nice to have Taylor come up and have her moment then? I had to indicate to her that she needed to stay, and perhaps this is a way to have this come full circle and let [Taylor] have her moment. I would normally not say anything, but I had two crying artists.”

The rest is history. When Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” won the award for Video Of The Year, she called Taylor to come out on stage and finish her speech. “There was a lot of begging, but fortunately [Taylor] agreed to stay, and Beyoncé agreed to do a wonderfully gracious thing,” Toffler said. “So the Shakespearean arc played out over the course of the evening.”

If only that was the end of the story. She performed “Innocent” at the 2010 MTV VMAs, a song all about the prior year’s interruption. The two seemed to bury the hatched in 2015, with Taylor even presenting Kanye the Video Vanguard Award at that year’s MTV VMAs. The bad blood came roaring back in 2016 when Kanye, in his song “Famous,” said “I feel like me, and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous.” The back and forth between Taylor and Kanye/Kim Kardashian gave birth to the “Reputation”-era Taylor, but that Taylor seems dead.

Now, Taylor is back with a new album, Lover, and she’s back at the MTV VMAs. She’s up for 12 awards at the 2019 edition, airing on Aug. 26. She’s also going to perform. Kanye is also nominated – he’s up for Best Art Direction for his “I Love It” video. Another artist nominated for that Moonperson? Taylor Swift. Uh-oh.

Lori Loughlin is ’embarrassed and hurt’ over her alleged involvement in the explosive college admissions scandal, according to a new report. However, the actress believes ‘she can beat this,’ as she awaits her Aug. 27 court date.

Lori Loughlin “is remorseful, and she has definite regrets” about her alleged participation in the nationwide college admissions scandal, a source tells People in the magazine’s latest issue, published on August 21. However, the actress, 56, apparently believes she didn’t do anything wrong. “She’s embarrassed and hurt, and she knows that her reputation has been ruined for life. But she also believes the allegations against her aren’t true,” the source explains.

“She honestly didn’t think what she was doing was any different than donating money for a library or athletic field,” the source continues, claiming, “That’s the crux of why she pleaded not guilty.” Lori and husband, Mossimo Giannulli, 56, are due back in court on August 27 after they declined a plea deal in April.  

On March 12, the U.S. attorney’s office in Massachusetts announced it had indicted Lori and Mossimo, who are parents to daughters Olivia Jade, 19, and Isabella Rose, 20, in the infamous college admissions scandal, dubbed “Operation Varsity Blues.” The couple, along with 50 other parents, including actress Felicity Huffman, coaches, exam proctors and admissions counselors are accused of paying bribes of up to $6 million, and lying about students’ athletic skills in order to get their children into elite colleges, including, Yale, Stanford, USC, Wake Forest and Georgetown, among others.

Lori and her husband allegedly paid $500,000 to admissions consultant William “Rick” Singer to falsely identify daughters Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose as recruits to the USC crew team, despite the two never playing the sport.

While the other defendants agreed to a guilty plea in April, Lori and her husband “weren’t ready to accept” a plea deal, the source tells People. As the Loughlin family awaits their upcoming court date, they continue to remain “united,” the source says. “They believe they can beat this.”

But, as time goes on, the waiting game has become nearly unbearable for the family. “Lori is ready for this to be over,” the source reveals. “They all are. At this point, it would be better to spend a few months in jail — because she’s been spending the last several months in her own prison.” Since news of the admissions scandal broke in March, the legal case has been “such a slow process,” the source goes on to say, adding that “it’s like a dark cloud.”

Fresh off touring with JoJo Siwa, The Belles have released their latest visuals for their new single, ‘Beautiful Girl,’ and it’s a must-watch!

Following in the footsteps of the beloved Judds, mother-daughter country duo Kelli and Jaymie Jones are making waves in the industry. Now, with the premiere of their new music video, “Beautiful Girl,” the pair show off their incredible talent, as well as spread an empowering message. In the video, premiering exclusively on HollywoodLife.com, Kelli and Jaymie go from singing back to back in a vast desert, to inside a studio filled with diverse young women. “The message behind this song is that every girl is beautiful no matter what, and we loved the idea for this video so much because it perfectly portrays that message,” Kelli explained EXCLUSIVELY to HL. “The girls start by seeing an imperfect self image in a broken mirror—maybe this imperfect image is brought on my social pressure to be ‘perfect’—but we wanted to send out the message that every girl is beautiful just the way they are.”

She continued, “By the end of the song, the girls are beaming with confidence in themselves and are ready to take on the world, and this is how we want everyone to feel after watching the video. We want every girl out there to know that she is perfect just the way she is and that she can do anything!” With lyrics reminiscent of the uplifting power of Maren Morris‘ “GIRL,’ as well as an almost-exact conversation most women have had with their own mothers, the song is certainly perfect for the audiences they’ve seen on JoJo Siwa‘s D.R.E.A.M Tour the last few months.

“I think ‘Beautiful Girl’ is just such a great message to go along with JoJo’s positive message for this tour,” Kelli, who wrote the song, continued. “I wrote ‘Mother’s Daughter’ and ‘Beautiful Girl’ on the same day in Nashville, to actually get ready for this tour. It’s just saying you’re beautiful no matter what anybody says, just the way you are.” Make sure to watch the first look at the video for ‘Beautiful Girls’ on HL!

‘Booksmart’ will be available digitally on Aug. 20 and HL has an EXCLUSIVE deleted scene from the critically-acclaimed teen comedy. Amy hilariously distracts the cops while the rest of the kids try to escape.

Everyone remembers the scene in Booksmart where Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) takes one for the team and gets arrested at the underage party while everyone else escapes. HollywoodLife has an EXCLUSIVE deleted scene featuring what caused Amy to get arrested in the first place. She creates a diversion by making a hilarious scene in front of the cops. She runs over and flips over the couch, making sure the cops aren’t facing the other kids trying to escape. “I’m a delinquent. I broke a lot of laws tonight,” Amy tells the cops.

The cop tells her to calm down but Amy acts like she doesn’t hear him. She also starts awkwardly dancing in front of the cops. Meanwhile, the rest of the teens are quietly sneaking out of the house. As they’re making their way outside, Amy goes on and on about how she accidentally did a drug tonight to make sure the cops don’t turn around. “I held a man hostage,” she continues, before getting up close and personal with the cop’s body camera.

Amy ends up arrested because of her shenanigans on the night before graduation. Her best friend Molly, played by Beanie Feldstein, comes to her rescue and gets her to graduation just in time. The incredible coming-of-age comedy, which remains one of the most critically-acclaimed movies of 2019, also stars Billie Lourd, Diana Silvers, Molly Gordon, Skylar Gisondo, Noah Galvin, Jessica Williams, Mason Gooding, Will Forte, Lisa Kudrow, and Jason Sudeikis.

Booksmart, directed by Olivia Wilde, is available digitally starting on Aug. 20. It will be available on Blu-ray and DVD on Sept. 3.

When Jamie Foxx was photographed escorting a gorgeous woman out of a club in L.A., it turned out she’s one of a new crew singers he’s mentoring. We’ve got five things to know about Sela Vave.

Jamie Foxx, 51, raised eyebrows when he was pictured holding the hand of a stunning mystery woman leaving Bootsy Bellows nightclub in L.A. at 2 a.m. on Aug. 17. Did he and girlfriend of six years Katie Holmes, 40, suddenly break up? It turns out the woman has been right under our noses the whole time. She singer Sela Vave, and Jamie has been mentoring her musical career. He appeared with Sela and young rapper he’s working with J Young for an extensive interview on LA’s Power 106 FM on July 22. He praised her immense talent and stardom potential, which you can watch and listen here. Jamie has also appeared in numerous pics on her social media pages throughout the summer where she’s thanked him for giving her her big break. We’ve got five things to know about Sela.

1. Sela was born and raised in Utah. 

She literally just moved to Los Angeles from Utah in July of 2019. Once Jamie decided to take a chance on helping with her music career in June, her mom had to pack her car with her belongings and clothes and drive it to L.A.

2. Sela has always wanted to be a singer. 

In her Power 106 interview alongside Jamie, she said she’s been singing since “Forever. Ever since I could talk. I have one single out on iTunes but we’re working on my debut album.”

3. Sela has done extensive modeling work. 

She’s been signed to Salt Lake City’s Talent Management Group, Inc. since 2014 according to her Facebook. Her page is filled with stunning photographs of her modeling assignments. But what she really wanted to do was sing and modeling was to pay the bills. She even says “I am a professional model and actor. Music is life and I love sports,” as her intro on her Facebook page.

4. Sela publicly thanked Jamie for believing in her talent in a June 30 Instagram post. 

In a black and white photo of the two of them, she captioned “I am so grateful to this man! Thank you so much @iamjamiefoxx for everything you do and for believing in me. #feelingblessed 🙏🏽.” He’s since brought her along to perform at a benefit in the Hamptons on Aug. 9. In a July 18 Facebook post she said that “I finally made the big move to L.A. and a lot of amazing things have been happening for me thanks to Jamie Foxx that I’m really excited about…” along with some photos with him and a link to their Power 106 interview. Jamie even took Sela and other musicians and producers he’s working with to Disneyland on July 16.

5. Jamie really does believe in her talent. 

While she was vague in her Power 106 interview about how she was discovered, saying she’s “just barely met’ Jamie and his producing partners, he told of how “She walked in and everyone was like ‘what’s up with the new girl?’ When I meet her, next thing I know she’s sitting on my stairs with an acoustic guitar singing a broken down version of Beyonce, and she wasn’t trying to be Fantasia or Whitney Houston.” He noted her “quiet” presence while singing along to her guitar and how that was a rare talent. “I feel like she’s really going to make some noise,” Jamie gushed. After going out on the town with Jamie and holding his hand after clubbing, Sela’s definitely making noise, albeit not the musical kind

Amber Portwood has been ‘managing her emotions’ following her July 5 arrest and resulting custody battle with Andrew Glennon. The ‘Teen Mom OG’ star is doing certain activities to accomplish that, which HollywoodLife has learned.

It has been over a month since Amber Portwood, 29, was arrested for domestic battery and criminal recklessness after a reported blowout fight with boyfriend Andrew Glennon while he was allegedly holding their son James, 1, on July 5. The legal woes are not yet behind the Teen Mom OG star since Andrew filed for sole custody of their son on July 9, but she knows how to handle them. “Amber Portwood is being really strong given the hard and challenging situation she’s in right now with her custody battle and no contact order with Andrew Glendon,” a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife. “Amber is managing her emotions well and paying a lot of attention to making sure she’s taking care of herself as best as she can.”

Amber’s keeping her emotions in check through a number of ways. “She’s spending a lot of time with her mom [Tonya Portwood] right now. She’s very happy she was just awarded additional visitations. That was such a huge relief for her,” our source tells us after Amber returned to court in Indiana on July 25. It also helps that fellow Teen Mom stars Maci Bookout, 27, Catelynn Lowell, 27, Cheyenne Floyd and even her ex, Gary Shirley, were all present in court to support Amber. But the mother of two, who also shares her daughter Leah, 10, with Gary, is also staying grounded with me time.

“She has been seeing her doctors weekly, reading a lot and meditating,” our source continues. “Even though a lot of what’s been reported has been untrue, she still wants to always continue working on herself and improving.” While Amber marches on through this latest setback in her life, her relationship with Andrew still needs work.

Fresh off collaborations with Kygo and Lindsey Stirling, Valerie Broussard released another jam with DJ duo Galantis.

Valerie Broussard‘s lyrics are always chilling, honest, and, at times, she admits, dark. But, with the addition of beats from DJs like Kygo, or, this time, Galantis, Valerie’s words become uplifting and, even “more hopeful sounding.” Her newest jam, “Roots” will be featured on her upcoming Wondrous Strange EP, due out this fall!  “This song is my love letter to LA, a place I had once considered nothing more than a temporary home, but it’s also about any person or place that makes a life-long traveler want to put down roots,” she said of the Galantis collab.

Ahead of this latest release, Valerie spoke to HollywoodLife.com in an EXCLUSIVE interview about her songwriting process, and working with Kygo on “Think About You.” “The song changed so much from it’s inception. When we wrote it, it was really different, and it’s taken on all of these different shapes now, especially because it has got that Kygo spin on it,” she said of “Think About You.” “It was darker. It was way darker. The sound just wasn’t nearly as bright. It was a folksy, country vibe, and it just blossomed after we changed the chords into this completely different, brighter, more hopeful song.”

To Valerie, whose song “A Little Wicked” was featured in The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina soundtrack, songwriting is incredible important, and she even wrote “Think About You” in Nashville. “I feel like when I’m performing live it’s so much easier to connect to your own story. Maybe that’s just from a selfish perspective that I would rather be telling my own story that someone else’s. I find it so much easier to be passionate about a song that is talking about something that’s going on in my own life,” she explained. “I’m a big fan of co-writing, too. With most of my co-writers I tend to come in and word vomit at them the whole story that I’m trying to tell. But what’s great is that those people can reign you in and tell you when things are too specific, or when it doesn’t work.”

Ahead of the release of “Roots,” Valerie teased a major “dance world” collab that she was “very, very excited about.” “It’s going to be a really fun song,” she excitedly shared. Now, it’s finally here! Make sure to listen to “Roots,” by Valerie Broussard featuring Galantis!

Tanner Tolbert received backlash for comparing Demi Burnett to her BFF, Hannah Brown’s, ex-fiance, Jed Wyatt, and now, Hannah is stepping in to share her two cents on the situation.

Hannah Brown is sticking up for her pal, Demi Burnett, amidst the 24-year-old’s Twitter feud with Tanner Tolbert. The drama started when Tanner accused Demi of being just like Hannah’s ex, Jed Wyatt, because she admitted to going on Bachelor in Paradise while “casually” seeing another woman back home. However, Hannah has made it clear that she doesn’t agree with the comparisons, and since she’s the closest to the situation, she insists that she knows best. “One is my best friend, one is my ex-fiance,” she tweeted. “I can tell you first hand, not the same.”

Demi has been getting romantically involved with Derek Peth on the current season of Bachelor in Paradise. During the Aug. 13 episode, she came clean to him about the fact that she had been dating a woman before she left for Paradise. However, she said she came on the show to get clarity about what she really wants. Meanwhile, Jed’s relationship with Haley Stevens was exposed after he proposed to Hannah on the most recent season of The Bachelorette. As the show aired, Haley came forward to reveal that Jed was only on the show to further his music career and said that he promised her they’d be in a relationship when he returned. After Hannah found out, she called off the engagement, even though Jed downplayed what was really going on with Haley.

Tanner has received backlash for his now-deleted tweet, with fans explaining that Demi’s situation is much different because she was honest about the fact that she was with someone else, while Jed lied. Tanner defended himself by revealing that he heard other information about Demi, which is what set him off. “Before filming even began I heard that Demi planned to leave the show engaged to this girl,” he wrote. “I support Demi fully….I am tired of everyone talking beforehand and pre-planning these relationships. I’m all for representations of all kinds..it has nothing to do with that. I don’t like how multiple people from the show tried to pre-plan relationships.”

Well, Demi eventually weighed in herself. “Oh f*** off,” she wrote. “Not the same at all. Maybe I can teach you a thing or two about going down on your wife.” OUCH! (Tanner is married to Jade Roper, who he met on Bachelor in Paradise and now has two kids with). Tanner sarcastically responded, “I’m always looking for ways to improve. He also confronted Demi about her alleged ‘plan’ to be with her girlfriend by the time filming ended, and she wrote back. “There was NO PLAN. You are speaking on something you HEARD about as if it is a fact. I was 100% honest and upfront the entire time. You are a grown ass man tweeting about rumors.”

Tanner responded, “If a rumor becomes true…doesn’t it then become a fact? Listen…I love watching you on TV and wish you nothing but happiness. But don’t throw stones if you live in a glass house.” We’ll see how Demi’s love story unfolds as Bachelor in Paradise continues on Aug. 19 at 8:00 p.m. on ABC.

It’s time to celebrate! Halle Berry turns 53 today, but she looks half that. In honor of her big day, look back at all the amazing looks Halle turned out while on the red carpet.

It’s time to have one monster of a ball. Halle Berry turns 53 on August 14, 2019. So, race the sun, so you have enough time to get with the program. Make the executive decision to party down. (We would have worked in a Catwoman reference there if we could have, but the less said about that movie, the better.) Over twenty years, the Academy Award-winning actress has appeared in some memorable films like Bulworth, Cloud Atlas, and John Wick: Chapter 3. To celebrate her milestone birthday, let’s look at some of the hottest looks Halle has rocked while on the red carpet.

Halle’s sheer dress at the 2017 Academy Awards was almost overshadowed by her amazing hair that year. Her curls were practically as outrageous as her curves in the dress. Her outfit at the Oscars was as glamorous as the outfit she wore to that year’s Met Gala. In celebration of Rei Kawakubo’s line, Comme des Garcons, Halle wore this cascading dress that made it looks as if she was made of gold and black flowers. Halle also proved that she can keep it simple and sleep when attending the Los Angeles premiere of 2019’s John Wick: Chapter 3. She rocked a sleek leather romper with nothing underneath. She had legs for days and used them to walk every inch of the red (black?) carpet like a queen.

Halle’s glamor was celebrated in InStyle’s 25th Anniversary issue. She credited her pixie cut for helping her break into the acting biz. “I think that was because the directors and producers actually saw me,” she said when speaking to the publication. “Before that, I had long hair like every other girl like me. And I dared to cut it short, and that got me my first job on [the 1989 sitcom] Living Dolls. When I got this [short] haircut, I felt like my best self.”

She also revealed when she felt the sexiest, and it wasn’t when she was in a dress worth thousands of dollars. “Honestly, I felt the sexiest during both my pregnancies,” she told the magazine. “Around the time of my third InStyle cover, in 2007, I became a mom at 40. Knowing that someone would always be counting on me made me a better person. I’m more focused and in line with my values and my goals. I stopped letting negativity get me down. Plus, I loved being pregnant. Had I started earlier, I probably would have had five children.” She gave birth to daughter Hala in 2008 and son, Maceo, in 2013.

“Or if I hadn’t been busy trying to make movies, I would have been the perfect surrogate. All the hormones made me feel amazing. I was so alive with my purpose and my femininity. It felt like my body was doing what it was built to do,” she added.

The BTS ARMY proved their power once again when their supportive tweets for Suga helped make his appearance become one of the top trending topics on Twitter on Aug. 12.

The BTS ARMY has nothing but love for Suga, 26! The devoted fans of the K-pop group took to Twitter on Aug. 12 to defend the member’s appearance after photos surfaced of him looking like he gained some weight. The loving tweets that praised how great Suga, whose real name is Min Yoon-gi, looked both with and without extra weight helped to make “YoongiWeLoveYou” a trending topic all day. Fans posted hunky pics of the talented musician in their tweets along with positive comments.

“we’ll always love you, yoongiii~~~ please stay happy and healthy~~~,” one tweet read with four added photos showing a smiling Suga looking irresistible. “yoongi, gaining weight and healthy and happy: me: #YoongiWeLoveYou,” another read. “yoongi is happy and healthy and that’s all that matters !!!” a third tweet read, while others pointed out he looks “adorable” and is only “getting cuter”.

The massive support for Suga from BTS fans is no surprise considering they often make headlines for their love. After a very successful year that included new music and touring, the band just announced that they are going to take an “extended period of rest and relaxation” for the first time since their debut album. “This period of rest will be an opportunity for the members of BTS, who have relentless [sic] driven themselves towards their goal since their debut, to recharge and prepare to present themselves anew as musicians and creators,” an official statement from their record company, BigHit Entertainment, read. “This will also provide them with a chance to enjoy the ordinary lives of young people in their 20s, albeit briefly. During this time, the members will rest and recharge in their own personal ways.”

Although the ARMY will surely miss seeing the guys in the spotlight on a daily basis, we can bet that they’re willing to wait until the guys are back and ready to conquer the music world once again! Here’s to wishing them all a great period of rest and an even brighter (if that’s possible!) future ahead!

The teens have spoken and their fave stars are at the Teen Choice Awards looking better than ever!

The best dressed celebs are hitting the Teen Choice Awards red carpet in Hermosa Beach, California, and they’re looking fierce! One of the first to arrive was Sarah Hyland who is performing her new song “Met At A Party” with Jordan McGraw. The newly engaged star rocked an orange cotton tulle Co-ord set with metallic lace detailing by Teresa Helbig set that was girlie and feminine, and a perfect complement to her dyed red hair! She also wore a pair of orange suede PVC sandals by Loriblu. The Bella Twins, as always, were looking fierce in their sparkling looks! Brie Bella wore a light purple sequin wrap dress while Nikki Bella kept it casual in a cream-colored sparkling set. Jessica Alba also stunned on the red carpet, rocking a plunging floral-printed gown.

Actress Maia Mitchell also looked beautiful in a peasant dress that was light pink and light blue picnic print. First on the carpet was also this evening’s host Lucy Hale, who rocked a bright red lip and adorable blunt bob. The PLL star was super cute in a beaded red mini dress ahead of her hosting duties! Lucy will be joined by YouTuber David Dobrik as host of the show and we’re sure they’re going to crush it.

A theme on the Teen Choice Awards carpet tonight was definitely hot pink, with Laura Marano, Emily Osment and Annie LeBlanc all rocking the color. Laura was seriously stunning in a mini hot pink dress with a black belt. The one-shoulder dress was also decorated with roses and it was one of our favorite looks of the night!

Another favorite of the evening was former Fifth Harmony member, Lauren Jauregui. She opted for a one-shoulder black dress and it was the perfect LBD! Look through our gallery to see more of our best dressed picks!

Dorit & PK Kemsley are in hot water over a financial legal battle but her ‘RHOBH’ costars are showing their support no matter what!

Dorit Kemsley, 43, and her husband, Paul “PK” Kemsley are headed to court on Sept. 5. A judge will decide if their frozen bank account can be seized by a creditor after Nicos Kirzis sued PK for a 2011 loan in the amount of $1.2 million. But the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star is receiving a ton of support from her fellow cast members, a source EXCLUSIVELY tells HollywoodLife.

“The entire cast of RHOBH is supporting Dorit and PK during their legal troubles as Dorit is tight with all the main cast, but they continue to live life as normally as possible and are confident everything will get cleared up in court,” the insider revealed. Meanwhile, Dorit and PK have been vacationing in Italy with their kids, Jagger, 5, and Phoenix, 3, and the pal added, “They’re financially fine and have nothing to worry about. This trip has been planned for awhile and is something they’re doing before filming begins at the end of the month. They’re doing great.”

“Some of the women have been confused as to how Dorit and PK have so much money as everything with Dorit has to be designer and they wonder how she as so much,” the friend continued. “But to be honest, nobody thinks that hard about it. She’s very over the top, not necessarily in a bad way, but she’s flashy and likes the finer things in life and that’s no secret, however, they’re not billionaires and sometimes they act like it.”

As we reported earlier, if Dorit doesn’t show up to court as scheduled things could be getting even worse as she could end up under arrest over the financial matter. Nicos is accusing PK of not paying back a dime of the loan for years and the reality star even tried to wipe the debt clean in a bankruptcy. Nicos said PK made a payment of $250,000 but that only covered the interest that had accrued over the years which left remaining balance of $1,235,573.66.

We’re seeing quadruple. Brielle and Ariana Biermann dined at an iconic restaurant with fellow sister duo Sistine and Scarlet Stallone, but the ‘Don’t Be Tardy’ sisters especially looked identical because of Ariana’s new hair!

The award for cutest girl squad goes to Brielle Biermann and Sistine Stallone, both 22, along with their little sisters Ariana Biermann and Scarlet Stallone, both 17. Asides from their matching ages, each sister duo looked like doppelgängers of the other while the foursome headed to dinner at Craig’s in West Hollywood on Aug. 9 (the 21st birthday party venue for Kylie Jenner). That was especially the case for Brielle and Ariana, because the Don’t Be Tardy stars both rocked mermaid-length blonde waves, a Habit Salon signature. Ariana just paid a visit to her older sister’s favorite salon, which she revealed in a selfie on Aug. 9!

Ariana and Brielle deviated in style for their dinner outfits, however, with Brielle opting for a denim T-shirt dress and Ariana keeping it casual in a cropped white bralette and ripped jeans. Meanwhile, Sylvester Stallone’s daughters coordinated in their outfits, with each wearing a combination of a black top, jeans and black lace-up boots.

Brielle and Ariana have been growing closer with the Stallone sisters lately, which Brielle made clear in her commentary about their squad dinner! “When you come to LA solely to have dinner with your favs,” Kim Zolciak’s eldest daughter wrote over a clip of the gourmet food and cameos from Ariana, Sistine and Scarlet. The sisters were also joined by pal Austin Anderson to dine on delectable grubs like hamburger and steak.

The four-member girl group was last seen at another Los Angeles hotspot, Delilah, on July 20. The gals reunited over food once again, that time dining on chicken nuggets just hours after Brielle and Ariana’s family was forced to leave their flight to Atlanta because of a holdup over Kroy Biermann’s service dog.

Brielle and Ariana’s LA hangout with the Stallone siblings was just one pit stop among many this summer 2019! The sisters, along with the rest of the Zolciak-Biermann crew, took a cross-country tour and visited states like Tennessee, Texas, California and Ohio before returning to Atlanta on July 21. Brielle hopped back on a plane to attend Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau’s wedding in Las Vegas on July 28, and she reunited with Ariana for a vacation at the Turks and Caicos island of Providenciales soon afterwards. The next destination? Brielle revealed that she was headed to Hawaii on Aug. 9!

Just call her ‘Senorita’! Camila Cabello stepped out in a sexy look to celebrate boyfriend Shawn Mendes’ 21st birthday in New York City on Aug. 8!

This top has us singing “Havana, oh na na…“! Camila Cabello, 22, is showing off her ultra-fit body and toned abs in a lacey, nude midriff baring top. The Cuban-born pop star — who was recently honored at Variety‘s “Power of Young Hollywood” event — was spotted on a sexy dinner date with Shawn Mendes at DUMBO House in Brooklyn (the same place that Gigi Hadid and Bachelorette star Tyler Cameron were snapped on a date). Shawn, who is also her collaborator on the hit summer single “Senorita,” celebrated his milestone 21st birthday at the members-only club, which is part of Soho House. The duo were sweetly holding hands as they approached the exclusive dining spot, both sporting ear-to-ear grins.

The former Fifth Harmony member paired her sweet-and-sexy bustier top with a floral and leopard print kimono, cropped beige pants, and camel, t-strap sandals. Shawn, who was wearing a more casual look earlier in the day, switched things up with a chest-bearing white button down featuring appliqué details, distressed jeans and white sneakers. He finished his look with a beaded necklace. The hot couple — who only recently hooked up — have yet to publicly confirm their relationship, but have had a whirlwind romance since their single dropped back in June.

Prior to dinner, the couple played tourist and enjoyed a casual and relaxing stroll around New York City. With their hectic work schedules and bi-coastal lifestyle, the two appeared to be enjoying a rare day off to celebrate Shawn.

Shawn — who is currently on a tour with fellow Canadian Alessia Cara — performs in Newark on August 10 and 11. While there’s no word on an upcoming tour for Camila, one is likely on the way after her wildly successful new single!

Gabrielle Union shared a sweet and funny video of her nine-month-old daughter Kaavia watching her dad Dwyane Wade eat before crying out for him to give her a taste.

Gabrielle Union, 46, has been sharing some seriously adorable moments with her nine-month-old daughter Kaavia and her latest post is one of the cutest! The actress posted a video on Aug. 6 that shows Kaavia getting upset as she sits near her dad Dwyane Wade, 37, as he’s eating from a fork. In the clip, every time Dwayne takes a bite, the funny tot cries until he brings the fork up to her mouth for a pretend taste and she opens wide. “(like) if you don’t play when it comes to food 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👼🏾😐 #snackbreak #agt,” Gabrielle captioned the video.

The same day she posted Kaavia’s food craving, Gabrielle posted an eye-catching photo of herself flaunting a tan mesh thong-style bikini. She promoted the competition show in which she serves as a judge, America’s Got Talent, in both posts, proving she knows how to mix personal joy with boosting her successful career.

In addition to keeping at that impressive career, Gabrielle has been spending a lot of time with her daughter as well as her hubby Dwyane lately since the former professional basketball player retired earlier this year. The family of three made major headlines on the red carpet of the 2019 Kids’ Choice Sports Awards on July 11. Little Kaavia looked like a little doll in a white dress and stole the spotlight as her parents lovingly looked on and smiled at her.

We love seeing Gabrielle’s amazing family moments and hope to see more soon!

Monica Lewinsky is revisiting the story of her scandal with former President Bill Clinton, this time as a producer for Season 3 of the FX series ‘American Crime Story.’

UPDATE (8/6/19, 9:30 p.m. ET): Monica Lewinsky’s affair with former President Bill Clinton will be relived in Season 3 of the FX anthology series, American Crime Story, but she’s having a say in this dramatized version of the scandal that played a part in Clinton’s impeachment in 1998. Beanie Feldstein, 26, star of Lady Bird and Jonah Hill’s sister, will play the former White House intern in the new season titled Impeachment: American Crime Story. The plot for Season 3 was revealed at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Aug. 6.

ORIGINAL: “The comprehensive three-night documentary series The Clinton Affair from Academy Award® and Emmy®-winning producer Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions and Emmy®-winning director Blair Foster weaves together never-before-seen archival footage with exclusive new interviews to examine the biggest political scandal of a generation and its lasting influence and reverberations on our country,” the Clinton Affair website reads. At the center of that “biggest political scandal” was a then 22-year-old intern named Monica Lewinsky. Monica, now 45, will offer “in-depth reflection(s) on the topic” during the docu-series, so get to know more about the woman who had an affair with President Bill Clinton, 72.

1. She was born in California and landed a White House internship while in college. Born Monica Samille Lewinsky in San Francisco in 1973, Monica grew up in an “affluent” family, per CNN, as her father owned a chain of cancer therapy clinics in Los Angeles. After graduating from Bel Air Prep in West Hollywood, she enrolled in Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon. Through her family’s connections, she landed an unpaid summer White House internship in the office of White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta. She began in July 1995, which brought her in contact with then President Clinton.

2. She had nine sexual encounters with President Clinton. Monica and Bill started flirting soon as she started her internship. One day, she blurted out, “You know I have a crush on you,” and he answered with, “Well, do you want to come into the back office?” (per The Guardian). After WH staffers noticed how much time she was spending in the West Wing, she was transferred to the Pentagon. That is where she met Linda Tripp. After Monica confessed the affair, Linda began recording their conversations in Sept. 1997.

As part of Paula Jones’s case against Bill Clinton (when he was Governor of Arkansas) Monica submitted an affidavit in Jan. 1998, in which she denied having a physical affair. Linda Tripp, knowing her friend lied under oath, gave the tapes to Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr (as part of his Whitewater investigation.) This led to Clinton denying the affair – “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky” – which in turn led to his impeachment (though he was acquitted of both perjury and obstruction of justice.) Monica was granted transactional immunity in exchange of her testimony. She testified that she had nine sexual encounters, which included fellatio and other acts but not sexual intercourse.

3. She was made into a national joke, which nearly drove her to suicide. “I felt like every layer of my skin and my identity were ripped off of me in ’98 and ’99,” she told the Guardian in 2016. “It’s a skinning of sorts. You feel incredibly raw and frightened. But I also feel like the shame sticks to you like tar.” While she never attempted suicide, she said she “came very close.”

Every late night host at the time made fun of her. Even feminists trashed her, like Nancy Friday. When asked by the New York Observer to speculate on Monica’s future, post-scandal, she said, “She can rent out her mouth.” For what felt like a decade, Monica was a target of slut-shaming, fat-shaming, and just outright bullying.

“I think it’s fair to say that whatever mistakes I made, I was hung out to dry by a lot of people – by a lot of the feminists who had loud voices,” she added. ”I wish it had been handled differently. It was very scary and very confusing to be a young woman thrust on to the world stage and not belonging to any group. I didn’t belong to anybody.”

4. She has a Master of Science degree. Her immunity agreement restricted what Monica could talk about. She had a few high-profile interviews, following her scandal, and a few major pop-culture appearances. She appeared in commercials for Jenny Craig in the start of 2000, and began a line of handbags. Yet, her notoriety followed (with the never-ending supply of hate) and by 2005, she retreated from the public eye. She enrolled in the London School of Economics and in Dec. 2006, she graduated with a Master of Science degree.

5. She works now to combat cyber bullying. “My current goal is to get involved with efforts on behalf of victims of online humiliation and harassment and to start speaking on this topic in public forums,” she wrote in Vanity Fair in 2014. In 2015, she became an ambassador and strategic advisor for the Bystander Revolution, an anti-bullying organization. In Oct. 2107, she tweeted the #MeToo hashtag but in March 2018, said the relationship was consensual. However, she argued that the relationship constituted an “abuse of power” on Clinton’s part.

Blac Chyna is setting the record straight after being accused of bleaching her skin to appear lighter and putting her name on the Whitenicious skin lightening cream.

In Nov. of 2018, Blac Chyna came under fire for launching a skin lightening cream, Whitenicious X Blac Chyna Diamond Illuminating & Lightening Cream, in partnership with Whitenicious by Dencia. While the $250 cream was to be used to fight hyperpigmentation and dark spots, many online trolls claimed she was using it to bleach her skin. Now Chyna’s’s saying that never happened. On her new Zeus Network reality show, she and cosmetics queen Dencia have a deep conversation about the topic.

“When I used to go to Miami my skin was a little bit darker so that raised this whole controversy thing to where it was said that I was bleaching my skin which I wasn’t,” mom of two Chyna reveals. She and Dencia go on to have a conversation about the topic where the Camaroon-born entrepreneur says “Coming from West Africa, I’ve never had a colorism conversation.” She continues, “You guys fight for your rights to do dumb stuff every day, why can’t I do what I want with my body. If I want to be tan today, I would do it. If I want to be shades lighter, I would do it cause that’s what I want,” she says as Chyna nods on in agreement.

The Shade Room posted the clip and the comments got heated. “It’s deeper than doing what you want cause it’s your body, so many people fought and died so our skin color could be accepted and it’s still not,” a user named Angiel  wrote. Another person said “Black people love the skin you’re in please DAMN.” Multiple fans brought up Beyonce‘s song “Brown Skin Girl,” which is an ode to being proud of dark skin. Alexa, play BROWN SKIN GIRL!!! Blast it and leave it on repeat please. Thanks,” one person wrote.

Others pointed out that Chyna’s dad has light skin so that’s one reason why she’s not as dark. “Y’all, blac chynas father is light skin. Chyna does not bleach. She’s originally light skin,” one user commented while another added, “Chyna daddy is bright as f that’s her damn color.” Well, controversy over because according to Chyna, she does not bleach her skin.

‘Arrow’s eighth season will be the show’s last. Star Stephen Amell revealed that he is ‘happy’ with ‘Arrow’s ending and opened up about saying goodbye to his ‘Arrow’ family.

Arrow’s final season will begin Oct. 15 on The CW and will consist of 10 episodes. Series finales are never easy, but Stephen Amell, 38, is assuring us that the ending is satisfying. When asked whether or not he was happy with the ending of Arrow, he told reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Aug. 4: “Actually, I’m very happy with the ending. I know things going on in Crisis [On Infinite Earths crossover]. But as you guys just heard, that’s our eighth episode. And then we have two more. And I know less about 9… I know a little bit about 9 but I know virtually nothing about 10.”

The show became an instant hit when it premiered in 2012. It remains one of The CW’s most popular shows. Many fans are sad to see the show come to an end, but Stephen is confident that the right decision was made to end the show after season 8. “I stand by the decision that we made, I think actually, midway through season 6 or so, that I actually thought that we were going to end in [episode] 7,” he continued. “All of my favorite shows have always had an ending, right? Like, I didn’t like season 3 of Lost. But then they announced that they were going to go three more years, and I loved 4, 5, and 6. And I think that the quality improved because they set an end date for themselves.”

However, Stephen did open up about how “terribly sad” it’s going to be when the show is over. “I know I’m not going to see David [Ramsey] all the time. I’m not going to see Emily [Bett Rickards] all the time. And, you know, I’m not going to see Mark [Guggenheim] and Gord from the crew,” Stephen said. “I’ve made so many friends. You know, my life has been in Vancouver for the past 8 years. My daughter was born there. You know, the last season is premiering on her sixth birthday. I’m 38 years old, it’s a significant chapter of my life.”

Arrow will be taking part in the epic crossover event, Crisis On Infinite Earths, alongside Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman, and The Flash. The Arrow episode of the crossover event will air Jan. 14, 2020, and will be the show’s eighth episode.

Is Jenelle having baby fever? After regaining custody of her kids in July, the ‘Teen Mom 2’ gets real about expanding her family!

It’s been a rough summer for Jenelle Evans, 27, and her husband, David Eason, 31. After Eason admitted to shooting and killing their family dog Nugget in May, the couple temporarily lost custody of their kids to North Carolina’s Child Protective Services. The unfortunate incident also led to Jenelle being fired from MTV’s Teen Mom 2.

In an Instagram story posted on Thursday, August 1, the former 16 & Pregnant star responded to fan questions, including one about plans to potentially have more kids. “Nope, we are good with what we have. Lol,” she confirmed. While human babies may temporarily be out of the question, the couple did unveil two new furry family members — Anatolian Shephards Buddy and Junior in a YouTube video from July 14. The puppies join the family only 2 short months after the loss of french bulldog Nugget.

The reality star shares 2-year-old daughter Ensley with husband David, and is also mom to sons Kaiser, 5, with ex Nathan Griffith, and Jace, 10, with ex Andrew Lewis. Jace remains in the custody of Jenelle’s mother, Barbara Evans, though she recently told Champion Daily that she is “planning on getting full custody” and building a stronger relationship with her first-born. In addition to little Ensley, Eason — who works as a pipe welder — has an 11-year-old daughter, Maryssa.

Following months of court dates, the couple regained custody of their kids — sans Jace — in July. At the time, Jenelle told Us Weekly that she was “ecstatic” — sharing on social media that she and David were stronger than ever after the custody drama.

Jenelle also posted an adorable collage of photos to celebrate Jace’s 10th birthday on Friday, August 2.

Wendy Williams has just wrapped a tumultuous season 10 of her daytime talk show. Between health problems and a split from husband Kevin Hunter, she told her audience the season was ‘hell.’

Wendy Williams has made it to the finish line of season 10 of her syndicated daytime talk show. In what was supposed to me a milestone season being on the air for a decade, it was fraught with personal dramas that played out in a very public way. As the last show of the season aired on Aug. 1, at the close the 55-year-old stood among her audience and revealed, “This season has been, well, hell for me, in a weird way,” then continued on the verge of tears.

“I appreciate doing this show because it’s my one hour where I get to be fun and forget about stuff. You see me pass out the season, you’ve read in tabloids and the paparazzi and all that. But through it all, my one joy — aside from my son and my family — is you,” she added while starting to cry. Wendy’s a strong one though as she quickly pulled it together and triumphantly proclaimed, “I’m not doing this show forever, but I will certainly be back for season 11. A lot of people didn’t think we could do it but we did it!” telling everyone September 16, 2019 would be her show’s return date.

Season 10 had been one drama after the next for Wendy. She missed a show in Dec. of 2018, later revealing she fractured her shoulder. “There’s no way I could have done yesterday’s show,” she told her audience on Dec. 18. “I was all about the medical care yesterday, from one doctor to the other.” Two days later she slurred the words on her show and apologized the next day for a “less than stellar” appearance, blaming it on her shoulder “which hurts like hell.”

Wendy’s return to her show in 2019 after the holiday hiatus kept getting pushed back, with Nick Cannon and other guest hosts eventually stepping in as her she continued to deal with her shoulder and “complications regarding her Graves’ Disease,” her family said in a statement. She finally taped her first show of 2019 on March 4, but on March 19 she dropped a bomb to her audience that she was living in a sober house when not working on her show. That came reports that her manager and husband of nearly 22 years Kevin Hunter Sr. had allegedly fathered a baby with reported longtime mistress Sharina Hudson, 34. Wendy herself confirmed the news was true in June.

Wendy filed for divorce from Kevin on April 11 and on April 15 triumphantly told her audience, “I’m moving out of the sober house in just a few days. It’ll be Wendy on her own. I have to tell you, I’ve been dealing with issues with addiction, alcoholism, and I have a whole new life that I planned for myself and my son. Believe me you, when you lay in a room with no TV and four gray walls all day and no telephone… and you lay there and you think about your life – this is my life in the sober house – it’s one of the best things, honestly, that could have ever happened to me.”

“Addressing my sobriety, my addiction, head-on has really helped me sort out every single compartment of my life,” she said. “I have a commitment to me and my son to come out of here better, stronger and faster than ever, she added. Wendy ended the summer on a high note, as when she returned from her June hiatus, she revealed on Hot Topics that she was dating a doctor in his 50s. “Well, I’m not on the market anymore,” she said on July 8. “I don’t know how I’m doing! I’m not in love, but there’s somebody that I’m crazy about,” she giggled.
