Source: David Livingston / Getty Basketball Wives has returned for its eighth season, and it’s still the same messiness we’re used to, but first, we start on a serious note. Shaunie is preparing for her son, Shareef, to get open heart surgery due to a heart abnormality that could lead to death if not corrected. Surgery is obviously no joke and Shaunie is nervous, but she manages to push through and keep the family going during this time. She does have help from Shaq, whom she says is a good co-parent. It’s also sweet to see her son, Myles, comforting her. In the end. Shareef’s surgery ends up being a success. Fast forward to a week later. Jackie’s back. Malaysia’s back. Evelyn’s back. Tami is back as a newlywed (she secretly married Reggie and still hasn’t told anyone). CeCe is back and she still has drama with Kristen. Her fiance, Byron, isn’t thrilled with Kristen at the moment either. Byron feels like Kristen two-faced with him and he definitely doesn’t like how Kristen treated CeCe last season. His final verdict that if he never sees or speaks to Kristen again he’d be cool with that. That sucks because Kristen is married to his son (Thomas) and is the mother of his grandchild. He actually wants Thomas to be his best man in his upcoming wedding to CeCe, but how’s that going to work if he doesn’t want his best man’s wife at the wedding? Next, we find Malaysia and CeCe out and about looking for wedding bands for CeCe. But the point of this scene is really for Malaysia to ask what’s up with her relationship with Kristen. Kristen doesn’t reveal too much, especially not the part about Byron not wanting her at his wedding, but she does mention that she hasn’t spoken to Kirsten since Amsterdam…last year. Malaysia kicks all this yang about how they’re family and need to work it out, but that may not always be the case for people. Evelyn links with Kristen and Jackie to meet with a shaman in the desert. Evelyn has been dealing with a lot of unexplained pain lately and thinks it’s due to negative energy so she wants a cleanse. Speaking of negative, the conversation drifts toward Kristen telling them she hasn’t been in touch with Byron, and that she found out that he and CeCe got engaged on IG. She’s playing the clueless role but when you find out something like that about someone close to you on social media, obviously there’s a problem. Let’s fast forward a bit. Jennifer is back too. Kristen is her only friend and meets up with her to see what’s up. Obviously, Jenn hasn’t spoken to anyone, and still won’t take accountability for lying, which is why people are mad at her. But Kristen invites her to Shaunie’s upcoming party though. Yeah, Shaunie is having a celebratory party for Shareef. Let’s cut to that situation. Everyone shows up in red because that represents the heart, obvi. But let’s cut to the drama. CeCe walks in and walks right past Kristen and her husband. Awkward. Then we find Kristen with Shaunie. Kristen tells Shaunie that she met with Jennifer and that Jenn is confused over why Shaunie is upset with her but Kristen, being the messy carrier pigeon she is, also tells Shaunie that Jenn was talking even more smack about her ex (Shaq, but they’re not saying his name), and how everyone knew that he was sleeping with other people anyway. Obviously, this riles Shaunie up because she doesn’t like Jenn talking about her kids’ father and she feels that Jenn is still being fake. Kristen then drops the bomb that she invited Jenn. Earlier in the episode, Shaunie said she didn’t invite Jenn but she was open to the possibility of her coming for the simple fact that Jenn actually reached out to her about her son’s health, and for that if Jenn wanted to show her son love in person, so be it. However, hearing the news she just heard changed things. Shaunie tells Kristen to tell her “evil” friend not to come. Hold that thought, because you know she’s still gonna come. Evelyn then tells Kristen what CeCe told her earlier at the party, which is that Byron doesn’t want Kristen to come to their wedding. Kristen can’t have this chat without Malaysia, so she calls Malaysia over for Evelyn to repeat this. Interestingly enough, neither Kristen nor Malaysia actually thinks Byron would ever exclude her, yet we clearly saw him earlier saying that he never wanted to talk to Kristen again. Their communication (or Kristen’s self-perception) is jacked up. Anyway, Malaysia, who thinks Byron would never, wants them all to get together to talk…for the umpteenth time. Finally, Jenn shows up to the party and she is being fake as expected. Shaunie gets set off just at the site of Jenn and decides to leave (or step out) before she, as she put it loosely, tap into her inner Inglewood and beat that arse. But somebody is going to throw hands this season.

Image via Jessica McGowan/Getty Images Brian Kemp Talks Absentee Ballots In Leaked Audio If you’ve been paying attention to what’s happening in the upcoming midterm election, you know that Georgia’s incumbent Secretary of State Brian Kemp has been under HEAVY scrutiny for his seemingly shady practice of suppressing the vote for over 53,000 people, 70% of which are African-American. As Secretary of State Kemp is responsible for running the elections and that potential conflict of interest has raised LOTS of eyebrows not only in Georgia but nationwide. According to Rolling Stone , those suspicions have only been heightened with the leak of an audio recording of Kemp making some dubious comments about his opponent Stacey Abrams’ ability to garner support via absentee ballots. “They have just an unprecedented number of that,” he said, “which is something that continues to concern us, especially if everybody uses and exercises their right to vote — which they absolutely can — and mail those ballots in, we gotta have heavy turnout to offset that.” Peep what else Kemp had to say below. NOVEMBER 6! GO VOTE! VOTE EVERYWHERE, BUT ESPECIALLY IN STATES LIKE GEORGIA WHERE THE RACE IS ALMOST TIED AND THE OPPRESSOR IS WORKING OVERTIME TO STIFLE US!
Virginia Sherwood/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images Jocko Sims Says His “New Amsterdam” Character Is Anti-Swirl But He’s Not If you’ve been missing out on NBC’s new Tuesday night hospital drama “New Amsterdam” we’d like to suggest there’s no time like the present to catch up. Last week BOSSIP caught up with one of the stars of the show, Jocko Sims who plays heart surgeon Dr. Floyd Reynolds. Reynolds has a lot of chemistry with Dr. Lauren Bloom, played by actress Janet Montgomery, and while it’s clear the pair have a good thing going, Reynolds is reluctant to let their relationship move beyond the friends with benefits zone because he wants a black wife and a black family. BOSSIP: What did you think when you read about the swirl situation in the script? Jocko Sims: This was our goal, just to get people talking. That’s what was refreshing to me, that it sparked a conversation. When I first saw it I was a little nervous, because first of all what he said was racist. Flip it. Think about it if the roles were reversed. A white guy and Black girl and they’re having sexual relations and she asks if they can take things further and he says “Well, I can’t because you’re not white.” BOSSIP: But that happens all the time, especially if one party or the other is a certain religion. Like you will find that if you’re dating a Jewish person or another religion. JS: But is that racist? Speaking of Jewish, We showed this that a hospital and one guy was really concerned because he felt like if the tables were turned it would be wrong. My concern, I really try to look at things from multiple perspectives, whether it concerns race or not when I’m looking at characters. I was thinking he is going to offend people on both sides. Like I got hit up by Black women and they’re like “Whoo, that’s right!”, then I got hit up today at the airport like ‘What are you doing? Don’t be using us as an excuse… Da da da da da, you not really down.’ Bottom line again, we’re talking about it again in this country, we’re talking and that’s what we wanted. You’ve got your Turkish families, who are like “I want you to marry a nice Turkish… ” It’s interesting because I’ve been in that position. I’ve dated different races. I’ve had my mom’s voice in the back of my head. The only issue I had was maybe I wasn’t able to come to terms with why I didn’t wanna take “Susie” — I just made up a name — home, but I would be afraid of it. I sympathize with Reynolds because, yeah, he’s been there. HE’s going where I have been I’ve never been compelled to tell someone ‘Hey you’re good enough for — but yeah you can’t come home and meet Mom.’ That was a little bit unrealistic for me but everybody generally is loving it. Someone asked me what I would want for the future generations and all I would ask that we just be able to sit down and listen to one another and have a conversation. For folks, before they talk to listen. The dialogue is worth having. BOSSIP: So is this going to be something that we’ll continue to see because he did offer her a drink after that conversation. Does she go back to his apartment? JS: A few people have been confused by that. I think that was kind of unclear, because he asked her if she wanted a drink literally right after she almost died, so she was like ‘Right now?’ because you know ‘get a drink’ usually meant… But in this case he was literally asking her if she wanted a glass of scotch to relax, he wasn’t asking her for more sex. Will there be more? You know I can’t tell you that. Everybody on Twitter is like “You know they’re going to … ” That’s what I would expect too. Tune in to NBC at 10PM EST to watch Jocko Sims and the rest of his “New Amsterdam” cast.
90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days star Jon Walters is super in love with Rachel Bear. In fact, Jon and Rachel are married . But while Jon may be happy with his relationship, he doesn’t think anything at all of another couple on the show — Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester. Jon told fans exactly what he thinks of Jesse. Normally you have to wait for the reunion to see one star destroy another like this. So, context: Jon and Rachel took baby Lucy to Stonehenge on last year’s Winter Solstice. Often seen as a secular holiday, it is also a religious one, and Stonehenge is made available for druids and other people of faith for whom the day and site are sacred. When Jon and Rachel shared this photo with their Instagram followers, fans praised the picture and the couple … and began to discuss how they feel tired of Darcey and Jesse’s storyline. While fans seemed to agree that they don’t care for the couple, they were divided over whether Darcey or Jesse is to blame. Jon shared his own opinion within the comments, and he had no uncertainty. “If she had a man she who builds her up, loved her and treated her with respect, she wouldn’t be nearly as broken,” Jon asserts. “Jesse is an abusive man with huge insecurities,” Jon declares. He is referring to Jesse’s behavior, which many fans and viewers have said is emotionally abusive. He then speculates that this is “probably because he skinny, used to have acne, and has a tiny d–k.” Jon concludes his disparaging assessment by announcing: “He’s a pathetic beta.” Wow . The alleged size of Jesse Meester’s penis notwithstanding, Jon is far from the only one disgusted with the Dutch model’s behavior. Darcey and Jesse’s trip the United States should have been a romantic visit to the place that they both hoped they’ll one day live as husband and wife. Instead, the two of them seemed to spend every waking moment arguing. They argued over grocery lists, how to correctly cut a steak, and debated whether Darcey stepped on Jesse’s sneakers on purpose or it was an accident. We know that it’s a reality show, and that producers can be selective and only show the worst moments. But no couple should be arguing like this. Period. Many believe that Jesse’s youth and good looks are behind his rudeness — that he doesn’t respect Darcey because she’s older. Others think that he’s just … like this. Entertainingly, TLC shaded Jesse earlier this month with a tweet about his trip back to the airport. “During the ride to JFK, Darcey had to slam the brakes,” TLC’s tweet reads. “Jesse hit his face against the sun visor because he was checking himself out in the mirror.” Despite their deeply toxic arguments, the two of them left things on a good note when Darcey sent Jesse on his way at the airport. They hugged and, for worse or for worst, seem to be very much in love. Some 90 Day Fiance viewers are not quite aware of how deep these arguments run. Jesse and Darcey have been seen quarreling on social media, and even appeared to break up a few times only to, days later, insist that they were still a couple. Even if you believe that Darcey is just as much to blame as Jesse, these two seem to be a toxic combination — like bleach and vinegar. We’re glad that Jon didn’t mince words about Jesse. Jon and Rachel seem to have found their happily ever after and fans really like them as a couple. Who says that a couple has to be dramatic to be popular with viewers? Sometimes, people want to see a success story. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Before The 90 Days: Meet the New Couples!
Michelle Williams will never forget Heath Ledger, or as some of you know him….the Dark Knight…or the queer in Brokeback Mountain who gave Jake Gyllenhaal AIDS, but not the strain that killed Jake Gyllenhaal, but that killed himself…or that the Olsen Twin killed but was rich enough to cover up… But she will pose in magazines like she’s hot, despite any normal dude questioning how someone like her got famous, cuz it’s sure not from her tits….and probably not from her backside either cuz that shit is uneventful…but at least she got that Ledger trust fund money going to their daughter to keep her afloat…she’s even in a swimsuit to let us know she’s into staying afloat.

An executive at the Discovery Channel has a very simple and very pointed message for certain fans of Alaskan Bush People. And that messages goes something like this: FOR SHAME! Speaking to Radar Online, the network’s Executive Vice President, Laurie Goldberg, opened up for the first time this week about Ami Brown’s cancer diagnosis. She and her loved ones admitted in July of 2017 that the long-time reality star had been diagnosed with a very serious form of lung cancer and that her prognosis was grim at best. Since then, various members of this famous family have kept fans apprised of Ami’s status on occasion, with the latest update being an extremely sad one: Brown has reportedly returned to the hospital . But this doesn’t mean all hope is lost, Goldberg says: “She is going to L.A. for a routine three month check-up but is optimistic and surrounded by nothing but love,” she also told Radar. In this same conversation with the aforementioned celebrity gossip website, Goldberg expressed consternation that anyone out there has been doubting Ami’s diagnosis. Do these critics really think producers and/or the Browns themselves would lie about such a thing? “Ami’s battle with cancer is very real,” Goldberg emphasis, taking those who disbelieve her to task and adding: “It is just disgusting that anyone would say her cancer is not real or that it was created for the show.” We can’t entirely fault viewers for having a few questions, of course. Reality TV in general is known for conjuring up storylines, as Jacob Roloff very recently came out and explained in a book written by this Little People, Big World star. But still. We’re talking about cancer here and we would never for a second wonder whether Ami and her children were actually lying about such a serious illness. “It’s in both lungs, in the middle and sides of the lungs,” Ami’s husband, Billy Brown, said last year. He said the cancer had been labeled as stage 3B, which is very close to the worst possible diagnosis, and continued at the time: “It hasn’t traveled to any other organs, but that’s what they’re saying is next. Any time we talk to anybody, it’s bad news.” Alaskan Bush People will be returning for Season 8, however, and we hear that Ami may still be part of the cast. “The fans will get to see her journey alongside the rest of the family on the upcoming season,” Goldberg previews, adding: “There is definitely no drama between her and anyone in the family – they love her very much and would do anything for her.” View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know No premiere date for Season 8 has been announced just yet. We’ll pass it along as soon as it’s confirmed… … and we’ll continue to send Ami our best wishes.
Flying in an airplane is rarely fun. But sometimes, it can be downright unbearable. While most people would consider sitting near a bad-smelling passenger to be bad enough, unpleasant body odor isn’t usually enough to land a plane. But that is just what happened here, as one person’s foul odor was enough to sicken others and force the plane to land. Transavia may sound like the name of an all-naturla sugar substitute, but it is a Dutch budget airline. Unfortunately, one Transavia flight from the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, a fairly common vacation destination in Europe, was besieged by a foul odor. Reportedly, passengers complained of an “unbearable” smell, which they blamed upon an “unwashed” man onboard. The alleged olfactory assault was so severe that some passengers reportedly became ill. Once the flight took off from the Las Palmas airport, some people’s reactions were so severe that they were fainting or vomiting. Gross. One Belgian passenger named Piet van Haut reported that: “It was a huge stench.” It certainly sounds like it. “The man was sitting on the last row of the plane.” Nonetheless, it sounds like many passengers were impacted. “And it smelled like he hadn’t washed for weeks.” Horrific. Unimaginable. Apparently, after several passengers grew ill from the relentless assault upon their senses, airline staff asked the man to confine himself to the bathroom. That was not enough to mitigate the damage, unfortunately. The plane was headed for Amsterdam in the Netherlands, but had to make an emergency stop in Portugal, at Faro Airport. It was then that the man was ushered off of the plane. He was then placed on a bus by medical personnel. In a statement from Transavia, it was said that the emergency stop was made for “medical” reasons. Many people immediately wondered if perhaps the odor arose from something other than poor hygiene. Perhaps this poor man was suffering an illness that created a powerful and noxious body odor. Diabetes, thyroid issues, and dysfunction in the kidneys or liver can lead to different and unpleasant body odor that can be difficult to mask. There is another medical possibility: a mutation known as trimethylaminuria. Trimethylamine is the chemical compound responsible for giving fish their “fishy odor.” People with trimethylaminuria, which is extremely rare, are unable to break down that compound. This causes it to build up in their systems. We don’t know what kind of bad smell drove these passengers to their limits. If what they were smelling was similar to fish emulsion, this could be the answer. But obviously, we don’t know. Sometimes, people don’t smell too bad even when they smell a little “ripe.” But please, no matter your personal opinion, tell someone if they are about to go fly somewhere and their body odor is in any way detectable. We feel so sorry for this poor man and for his fellow passengers. None of them asked for this to happen. And honestly? We feel sorry for Transavia. A lot of airlines get bad press, but it sounds like Transavia did all of the right things, here. There are so many ways to ruin someone’s flight. Let’s all try to avoid being at fault.
