The Real Housewives of Atlanta Recap: Porsha Williams Announces Her Pregnancy!

The ladies were in Tokyo during Sunday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, and Porsha Williams realized it was time to reveal her pregnancy to her co-stars.  Porsha wanted to make the reveal special, so she learned the phrase “ninshin chuu” for the big occasion, but everyone else seemed dazed and confused at what the 37-year-old was saying.  “It means… I’m pregnant!” as she drew attention to her stomach by rubbing it. “My baby is coming!” The ladies, including frenemies Kandi Burruss and Eva Marcile, were surprisingly happy about the news.  “Honestly, I don’t know how long Porsha was going to be able to hide it because she is definitely popping, front and back, at this point,” said Cynthia Bailey who led the charge with the biggest grin.  “All shade aside, Porsha’s going to be a real good mom,” added Eva in one of her most genuine confessionals yet.  “I am super excited for Porsha right now because regardless of my opinions and thoughts about her relationship, I am happy that she is finally going to be able to be a mother,” said Kandi. Elsewhere in this emotional episode: Kandi was gearing up for her Dungeon Pary and variety show, so she shot a full-length commercial for the event.  Eva appeared at the taping with the aim of throwing Porsha right under the bus, but Kandi had some grievances of her own with Eva.  Kandi’s issue was that Eva seemed to want to play both sides at the best of times, but Eva said that she was “trying to stay on the yoga mat with a white flag up.” It’s bad that Kandi even had to explain that, but we need to remember here that Eva is still a relatively new addition to the cast.  More than anybody, Kandi knew that picking a side was must in any scenario or else you run the risk of being ousted by the others.  We jumped back in time to the ladies meeting up at the airport to kick-start the trip, and the reception between most of the ladies was frosty.  After the flight, it emerged that Marlo Hampton’s baggage was lost and that she would probably be spending most of the trip with nothing.  At the hotel, Kandi was not impressed with the food, prompting Cynthia to say “If Kandi’s not eating, something is wrong.” Eva subsequently went on to try clear to patch things up with her co-stars so that the trip was not marred by all of the drama.  “I don’t know why Eva has anything wrong with being shady,” Porsha added.  “I’m not a stunter. I’m the one that stunts,” explained Porsha. Things took a heartbreaking turn when Eva got a phone call from back home to let her know that her grandfather had a heart attack and would probably be dead soon.  It was a freaky turn of events, and the ladies rallied around Eva to help her in her time of need.  The Real Housewives of Atlanta continues Sundays on Bravo.  View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11: All the Secrets… EXPOSED!

Jeff Bezos: Amazon CEO Announces Split From Wife of 25 Years in Twitter Statement

Every day, Amazon ships out tens of millions of packages emblazoned with its famous smiling logo. But it seems there’s not much to grin about in the household of CEO Jeff Bezos these days. Bezos announced today that after a lengthy trial separation, he and wife Mackenzie Bezos have decided to file for divorce. “We want to make people aware of a development in our lives,” Bezos tweeted Wednesday morning. “As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends.” “We feel incredibly lucky to have found each other and deeply grateful for every one of the years we have been married to each other. If we had known we would separate after 25 years, we would do it all again,” he added. With a net worth of $137.4 billion, Bezos is the world’s richest man. It’s unclear if the couple had a prenuptial agreement, but since most of Bezos’ wealth is tied up in the massive online retailer he founded, it’s unlikely that Mackenzie will become the world’s richest divorcee. UPDATE: It is now being rumored that Bezos carried on an affair last year with former So You Think You Can Dance host Lauren Sanchez. The couple met at the New York hedge fund D.E. Shaw, where Bezos, the company’s vice president hired Mackenzie for a job. Just 23 at the time, Mackenzie initiated the relationship by asking her new boss out to lunch. “My office was next door to his, and all day long I listened to that fabulous laugh,” she told  Vogue in a 2013 interview. “How could you not fall in love with that laugh?” Three months later the couple was engaged, and three months after that, in 1993, Jeff and Mackenzie tied the knot. “I think my wife is resourceful, smart, brainy, and hot, but I had the good fortune of having seen her resume before I met her, so I knew exactly what her SATs were,” gushed about Mackenzie in the same interview. When Jeff made the cross-country trip to start a Seattle-based small online bookstore in 1994, Mackenzie became one of his first employees. “To me, watching your spouse, somebody that you love, have an adventure — what is better than that?” she later told CBS. In addition to her successes in the business world, Mackenzie is an acclaimed author, having penned two award-winning novels, The Testing of Luther Albright and Traps . In his statement, Jeff seemed to imply that he and Mackenzie would continue working together. “We’ve had such a great life together as a married couple, and we also see wonderful futures ahead, as parents, friends, partners in ventures and projects, and as individuals pursuing ventures and adventures,” the CEO wrote. “ Though the labels might be different, we remain a family, and we remain cherished friends.” We wish Jeff and Mackenzie all the best on their divergent paths forward.
