Arie Luyendyk Jr. and Lauren Burnham have achieved the near-impossible. The couple has actually gone from The Bachelor to… the altar! Will Arie and Lauren last a lifetime? It’s too early to say. But they’ve already accomplished what few twosomes who got together via this franchise have accomplished before them: an actual exchanging of vows! As documented by Us Weekly, Arie and Lauren got married this weekend in Hawaii. “Ever since we’ve gotten together, we wanted to fast-forward to this day,” Luyendyk told this tabloid , adding: “It’s been a year. That’s kind of crazy ‘cause I remember a year ago we were doing ‘happy couples [weekend on The Bachelor]’ and talking about getting married and wanting to do that, even last year, so it’s awesome that the day is finally here.” He’s not wrong. It’s been quite a journey for these reality stars. Luyendyk Jr. and Burnham met while filming season 22 of The Bachelor last year. But their courtship both ended and then started again amidst controversy. This is because the former race car driver proposed to Becca Kufrin during the season finale. However, he later had a change of heart, broke up with Kufrin in front of ABC cameras… and decided he wanted to be with Burnham. After shattering Kufrin’s heart into a million pieces, Luyendyk Jr. and Burnham got engaged during the live After the Final Rose special in March. “I made some bad decisions but the best decision was running back to you,” the real estate agent said during his proposal, continung as follows: “I truly believe are my soulmate. I’m ready to face this life with you and all that comes with it. I love you so much. “I wanted to do this in front of everyone because I want to show you that I should have done this a long time ago.” In November, meanwhile, the famous couple took fans by surprise when they announced they were expecting. We’ve since learned they are expecting a girl . “We are so excited,” the former ex-Bachelor told Us Weekly last fall. “It’s going to be a whole new chapter in our lives.” Referencing his child’s gender and his now-wife, Arie added: “I’m definitely excited to see Lauren and her together, and I think it’s gonna be so adorable. “Everything’s so new, so we’re buying parenting books… “There’s just so much that we don’t know, and I think learning together and experiencing this together is gonna be a lot of fun.” All eyes of Bachelor Nation will now hone in on Arie and Lauren to see if their love truly lasts. For now, though, as mentioned previously, they’ve already defied the odds by tying the knot. “To say it’s been quite a year would be an understatement!” Arie recently wrote on Instagram as the calendar flippe. “Lots of firsts and many more to come! Thank you for all of your love and we can’t wait to share what is going to be the biggest year out of our lives in 2019!” NOTE : To find out what’s on tap this season on The Bachelor, visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers !

Ever since the six-part documentary, Surviving R. Kelly , aired on Lifetime, R. Kelly has been the center of an ongoing investigation in his hometown of Chicago. The R&B singer can’t escape the new wave of attention that this docuseries has given him. R. Kelly hasn’t been hit with any charges as of yet, but he’s been suffering from panic attacks that require full medical attention. The singer has been dealing with these sudden panic attacks ever since the documentary aired last week. The internet has been on fire ever since the documentary’s debut and they haven’t backed down. Surviving R. Kelly addressed the exploitation of Aaliyah and featured testimonies about his predatory and abusive behavior. Several celebrities have spoken out about against the singer on social media. The firestorm has also led Lady Gaga to break ties with R. Kelly and have their song “Do What You Want” removed from iTunes. R. Kelly doesn’t like the attention he’s been receiving lately. The panic attacks have gotten so bad that he’s currently seeking treatment at a hospital. R. Kelly can’t take the heat he’s been getting from celebrities, the media, and the general public. Sources told TMZ that he’s shocked that people are siding with the victims. But that hasn’t stopped R. Kelly from making shameless public appearances though. On Wednesday night, he made an appearance at a nightclub at V75 Chicago on his birthday. He was surrounded by screaming fans as he grabbed a microphone and declared that he did nothing wrong. Law enforcement claims a different story. According to the Cook County State Attorney’s Office, R. Kelly held two women against their will in his Trump Tower residence. Five officers rushed to the home and ordered R. Kelly to come to the door while they questioned the two women. Both women claimed they were there on their own free will and nothing suspicious was going on. The two women were named Azriel Clary and Joycelyn Savage, both of which have claimed they were there to be with R. Kelly, despite their parents’ previous claims that he brainwashes his victims. This comes after multiple women came forward in 2017 with their own stories about R. Kelly’s alleged sex cult . He allegedly grooms his young victims, making them dependent upon him, and uses confinement, physical abuse, and starvation as forms of punishment. Cook County State Attorney Kimberly Foxx has urged R. Kelly’s victims to come forward. The hotline has been lighting up ever since she made that statement. It doesn’t like the firestorm from Surviving R. Kelly is going to die down anytime soon. Hopefully, for the sake of the victims, this docuseries will finally kill his career. R.

Source: Splash News Although the procedure can be extremely dangerous, butt injections have never been more popular than they are now. One woman, Whalesca Castillo , had been capitalizing on the trend by running an illegal plastic surgery operation in the Bronx. Sadly, her shady career allegedly ended up killing someone and Castillo now faces a manslaughter charge. The New York Times details her history of arrests in connection to illegal butt enhancements : “She had been arrested twice before, charged with providing illegal silicone injections in the Bronx to women who wanted to enhance their figures. One client had texted Whalesca Castillo after a procedure, complaining of leaking blood and liquid from her buttocks and legs, court documents said. Ms. Castillo replied by suggesting her favorite method for stanching a wound: ‘Buy some crazy glue and put it on.’ Ms. Castillo pleaded guilty in September 2011 to charges related to operating a fly-by-night plastic surgery clinic without a medical license, and served a year in federal prison. Released on probation, she was caught doing silicone enhancement procedures again in March 2014 and was sent back to prison for nine months.” This week, Ms. Castillo was arrested again in connection to the death of a woman by the name of Lesbia Ayala . Source: Splash News The site continues, “Ms. Ayala, 48, died on June 17 of an embolism after the police say Ms. Castillo pumped silicone into her buttocks and thighs. Ms. Ayala had traveled from her home in Philadelphia to Ms. Castillo’s apartment on Seward Avenue for the illegal procedure.” Castillo’s lawyer Robert Osuna stated he could not comment, as he had not yet read the criminal complaint. “We’ll have to see what the charges allege,” he said, according to The New York Times. As for how she ran her underground operation, Castillo reportedly received “hundreds of bottles of silicone gel shipped in the mail from the Dominican Republic, marked in Spanish as ‘silicone for hair’ or ‘for body massage,’” the site states. She was charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide, and the unauthorized practice of a profession. See photos of Castillo when she was arrested back in 2011 above. May Ayala rest in peace. Photo: Splash News
