Sabrina Parr and Lamar Odom: Engaged! After Just 3 Months of Dating!

Welp.  This is one way to make folks believe you’re totally and completely over Khloe Kardashian: Lamar Odom has proposed to girlfriend Sabrina Parr! And she has said yes, you guys! On Monday, Odom announced his unexpected engagement via a romantic Instagram photo of the soon-to-be married couple posing together inside Prime 112 Restaurant in Miami. “Introducing my new fiancée!! Soon to be Mrs. Parr-Odom,” Odom captioned the post adding very simply and sweetly: “She the ONE!!!!! @getuptoparr.” As you can see above, Parr is wearing her engagement ring in the picture, while Odom is wearing a surprisingly sullen expression, considering the occasion. For her part, Parr also shared a video on social media, coming across as rather excited about the entire development. “I SAID YES!!!!!!” she captioned this post on Instagram on Monday, showing off her ring in a video and two photos as they dined at this same restaurant. Parr added the hashtags #mrsparrodom and #lamarandsabrina. The Real Housewives of Atlanta star Nene Leakes commented on the post, writing as a remark: “SO GLAD I COULD BE HERE WIT YOU! LOVE BOTH OF YOU AND PRAYING OVER THIS UNION.” Odom, of course, is a former professional basketball player who battled substance abuse problems throughout nearly his whole career. In celebrity gossip circles, he’s best known for having been married to Khloe Kardashian for four years, prior to a divorce mostly based on his infidelity and those same substance abuse problems. He nearly died from an overdose while partying with hookers in Nevada back in 2015. Odom made his relationship with Parr Instagram official in August, sharing a photo of his lady love sitting in his lap. “It’s just like when you’ve got some coffee that’s too black, which means it’s too strong, what do you do? You integrate it with cream… But if you pour too much cream in it, you won’t even know you ever had coffee,’” he wrote at the time, adding: “‘It used to be hot, it becomes cool. “It used to be strong, it becomes weak. It used to wake you up, now it puts you to sleep.’ – MALCOLM X @getuptoparr #blackroyalty.” That same month, Odom and Parr spoke out about their romance during an interview on Dish Nation. “I wasn’t attracted to the pain and the drama,” the health and life coach explained, continuing as follows: “You have to meet people where they are. “He was never in a position to be someone’s husband, you know? He was sick, he needed to heal, he needed to grieve. He experienced a lot of losses. And he never had time to go through that.” Just a few weeks ago, in the wake of constant questions about Khloe, Odom insisted he really did love Parr . “Outside of my daughter, this is the most serious and committed relationship I’ve ever been in with a woman,” he said toward the end of October. And now he’s proven it. Congrats to the happy couple!

Vicki Gunvalson: I’m DONE with The Real Housewives of Orange County!

Vicki Gunvalson was a mainstay of The Real Housewives of Orange County , and of the entire franchise, for 13 seasons. Then, for Season 14, she accepted a demotion to “Friend” in order to stay on the show … as a guest star . Many had assumed that this meant that Vicki was desperate to remain on the show and would accept whatever Bravo wanted. That no longer appears to be the case. Vicki has announced that she's done filming for the Real Housewives and is moving on. Wow. 1. Vicki is done! As you’re about to see, Vicki is making it clear to her fans that she has no problem leaving RHOC in the dust. 2. It started on Friday On Friday, November 8, Andy Cohen snapped a selfie, announcing that the Season 14 Reunion special was about to be filmed. “About to start filming the Season 14 #RHOC reunion. FOURTEEN YEARS!!!!!” 3. Vicki was on the hype train Sharing a glimpse as she prepared for the special, she captioned her post: “Are you ready to Whoop it up? I’m getting ready for season 14 #rhoc Reunion. #keepitclassy #standmyground #ogoftheoc #bravo #woohoo” 4. It’s been a complicated season Vicki was one of the very first Housewives, ever, and she reigned for 13 seasons. Only this season was she demoted to a mere “Friend” of the Housewives, losing her Orange. 5. Fans say that it’s beneath her One commenter wrote to Vicki: “Vicki, you need to be done with that show. In my opinion, outside of Shannon, at times, you are so much better than the females on that show. I had to stop watching many season’s ago. Mainly because of Kelly and Tamra. Please let it go and look forward to the life you have long wanted with Steve!” 6. Some even boycotted “Never watched the season boycotted it when you were not a regular,” a fan shared. “And I have been a faithful watcher since day 1.” View Slideshow

Farrah Abraham to Jenelle Evans: Girl, Your Life SUCKS!

You know things have gotten bad when even Farrah Abraham is looking at you with pity in her eyes. Granted, Farrah is delusional, and she thinks her life is awesome, so she might look down on a lot of people who are actually doing just fine. But when Abraham offers words of sympathy and support for Jenelle Evans, they're well-deserved. As you've likely heard, Jenelle has filed for divorce from David Eason amid abuse allegations. And now, it seems she's found an unlikely ally in fellow disgraced Teen Mom alum Farrah. Of course, Farrah being Farrah, she couldn't pass up the opportunity to throw a little shade at her ex-rival when commenting on the situation this week. Take a look: 1. Better Days It wasn’t all that long ago that Farrah and Jenelle were both raking in six-figure salaries thanks to their cushy gigs at MTV. Both ladies also supplemented their income with side ventures such as sponsored content partnerships. 2. Hard Times These days, however, both moms are out of work and increasingly desperate for cash. Farrah was the first to be let go, having been fired from the network back in December of 2017. 3. An Interesting Career Path MTV execs justified the decision by claiming that Farrah had violated her contract by continuing to perform in adult webcam shows. But in reality, they were probably just sick of dealing with her diva nonsense. 4. The Nugget Affair Jenelle was next to get canned. And her termination took place under even more bizarre circumstances. The situation involved the death of a beloved pet at the hands of Evans’ famously short-tempered husband. 5. Devastation David shot and killed Jenelle’s French bull dog, Nugget. The act of senseless violence led to a CPS investigation that caused her to temporarily lose custody of her children. 6. Not Great Jenelle helped David hide his crime from police, and she defending him in public, even claiming at one point that he was not involved with the dog’s death. View Slideshow

The Mandalorian Review: It’s Good Star Wars

Disney Plus launched in the wee hours of Tuesday morning! There were plenty of good reaosns to sign up for the streaming service. In my case, they had me at “new Clone Wars episodes.” Those aren't out yet, of course. What is out is The Mandalorian , whose first episode went live at launch. To say that the first episode was “good” does not do it justice. Check out our review (and carefully crafted gifs) below and see if Disney's live-action Star Wars series sounds like a hit or miss. We promise that we've only included minor spoilers. 1. It’s a Space Western Usually, that would be a critique, but Star Wars has always had strong Western vibes, though that has never been exclusive. Environments like the cantina at Mos Eisley Spaceport on Tattooine are basically saloons, and in his first scene, the titular Mandalorian might as well have pushed through a pair of saloon doors. 2. It FEELS like Star Wars We’ll talk about this more once we get into the gifs, but this show really feels like it’s part of the broader Star Wars canon in a way that the Sequel films, for many fans, have not. The vibe here is definitely more Rorgue One, and that’s exactly how it should be. 3. Aliens are back! Anyone else notice how there are almost no new Alien roles in the Sequel films? (Holdo should have been a Theelin; fight me, Rian Johnson) Well that last slide showed a Quarren, a classic Star Wars species who share a homeworld, Mon Cala, with Admiral Akbar’s species. And then there’s this dude, an Alien with an extended speaking role. 4. Yes, there are monsters A huge part of Star Wars has been the existence of terrestrial perils unrelated to evil generals or Sith Lords or whatever the heck a Ren is. From “Sand People” to wampas to giant worms that live in asteroids, sometimes planets just have monsters on them. The Mandalorian knows this and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 5. It’s a BEAUTIFUL show This particular beast looks like a blend of a walrus and a hippopotamus, and we learn that it’s attracted to the spaceport area because ships dump their gray cargo — that is, their organic waste — which attracts a whole food chain of critters. Also, it just looks great. Shows need good budgets to be viable, and we’re glad that this show delivers. 6. The Mandalorian isn’t all action The titular character has some serious childhood traumas — including an apparent aversion to droids, but one that is not absolute. He also has tremendous respect for Mandalorian culture and traditions, many of which were nearly lost when the Empire (at first, the Republic) invaded Mandalore to oppose Maul’s faction of Death Watch. It was many years before his people were free again. View Slideshow

Instagram Annouces It Will Begin Test Hiding Likes In The US, Nicki Minaj & Cardi B Have Thoughts

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Over the weekend, Instagram “models” and “influencers” reacted after news broke that Instagram will begin test hiding likes. The announcement even sparked reactions from Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. The Facebook-owned social media platform has already begun testing hiding likes in seven countries but has yet to try out the new idea in the states. Speaking at the WIRED25 conference, Instagram CEO Adama Mosseri made the announcement Friday (Nov.8) that it will begin test hiding likes for some users starting this week. WATCH: Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announces that the platform will start hiding likes for US audiences starting next week. It's the latest step in Instagram’s quest to become the safest place on the internet. https://t.co/BGkMG57rdk #WIRED25 pic.twitter.com/WNTyAPVhaD — WIRED (@WIRED) November 9, 2019 In the tests that have rolled out in Canada, Ireland, Ital, Japan, Brazil, Austria, and New Zealand, the likes are hidden from the public in the feed, web, and in profiles. Users will still be able to see how many likes their posts receive. Only other people will not be able to know. The motive behind the move is to help “depressurize Instagram” by “making it less of a competition Mosseri told Bloomberg on Friday. He continued: “The idea is to try and reduce anxiety and social comparisons, specifically with an eye towards young people.” While the other countries really haven’t been complaining, the news removing likes is being met with criticism from influencers and celebs alike. The decision has even brought feuding rappers Nicki Minaj and Cardi B together in agreement that they are both skeptical about the removal of likes. On Twitter Friday (Nov.8), following the news, the “Anaconda” rapper declared that she will no longer be posting on Instagram. I’m not posting on IG after this week cuz they removing the likes. Hmmmm what should I get into now? Think of all the time I’ll have with my new life — Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) November 9, 2019 She followed her Tweet by hopping on Instagram Live , making the case that IG taking away the likes is an elaborate scheme to force people to pay them for “sponsored” posts. “So basically no, Instagram is about to take everyone’s likes simply because they don’t want you to go off on the side, forming all sorts of businesses and being able to say, ‘I get this amount of likes,’ and charging brands. They want you to have to pay them. If you pay them, then that’s why we have all these ‘sponsored’ Instagram posts… They had to shuffle it real quick to let you know, you ain’t the boss.” Cardi B also didn’t care for Instagram’s decision and sounded off on her IG Live as well, but she argued that the social media platform should focus on comments, not the likes. “It’s a big ruckus right now that the likes on Instagram are getting taken away,” she said in a Friday night Instagram post. “… This is my opinion on it, right? So from the beginning of Instagram, we had likes. And I feel like, in the beginning of Instagram, everything was so fun, people wanted to post their pictures, get likes … where I think that Instagram got a little nasty, and it just took a weird turn, was when people started to like the comments when they were allowed to like comments or reply back to somebody’s comments.” Well, we shall see how this all pans out, no word on if Instagram is gonna have second thoughts about the idea. We think everyone should just calm down and let’s see how it works first. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz

#LHHH: Here’s Why Messy Jess Hilarious Is Getting DRAGGED Across The Entire Internet

Source: Mychal Watts / Getty Jess Hilarious’ Disaster The good reality folks at Love & Hip-Hop sure know how to draw in a guest appearance, right? This week we were treated to none other than Jess Hilarious who inserted herself smack-dab in the middle of the feud between Moniece and Apryl/Fizz (Aprizz?). Moniece shared a video that showed Jess going the hell off on Apryl and Fizz, saying that Apryl has babysitters watch her kids so she can go seek out famous men. The video made its way to Apryl and Fizz who confronted Jess about it. Jess went into full backtrack mode blaming Moniece for everything. She said she was merely agreeing with Moniece and was lied to. Then she suggested Apryl pull on on Fizz’s baby momma. SMH. The whole fiasco has made Jess look quite snake-like and Twitter was quick to pick up on it. They mercilessly dragged the holy hell out of Jess and sent her packing to the great beyond. Jess we know you lying #LHHH pic.twitter.com/uFfhKa4ShF —
