Aron Eisenberg, Star Trek Actor, Has Died at Age 50

Aron Eisenberg, who played the fan-favorite role of Nog in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” has died at the age of 50 .  According to E! News , the actor’s wife, Malissa Longo, shared early Saturday morning that Eisenberg was hospitalized in critical condition, without further explanation.  Later that night she shared the tragic news to Facebook that he had passed away. “It is with extreme regret and sadness to announce that my love and best friend, Aron Eisenberg, passed away earlier today,” she began her post. “He was an intelligent, humble, funny, emphatic soul. He sought to live his life with integrity and truth.” “He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him,” the post continued. “He lived his life with such vigor and passion. He was like a breath of fresh air, because I knew I would always hear the truth from him. Even if I didn’t want to hear it and even if the truth was inconvenient.” Longo then went on to explain in detail just how much of an impact her husband had on her life. “He made me (and still makes me) want to be the best human I can possibly be, because he always strove to be the best human he could be,” she explained. “His resilience and willingness to learn was and is an inspiration.”  Eisenberg and Longo got engaged back in 2016, and it was in her heartfelt message that she reveled they had eloped back in December after the holidays. “We were hoping to have a big shindig in celebration of our nuptials, but had to wait to save up the money,” she wrote. “While, our marriage, on paper, was a short one. Our hearts had been married for far longer.” “I will forever be thankful for the time we had to love each other. Five years felt like a lifetime, in the best possible ways,” she shared. “There will never be another light like Aron’s. The beauty that he was and the legacy he leaves behind is beyond words. I love him dearly and will him eternally.” “At the moment I’m not sure how to do life without him… He is and always will be My California,” Longo concluded her beautiful message. Eisenberg had battled some serious health issues throughout his life, including the fact that he was born with one defective kidney which stunted his growth. He was on dialysis until age 13 and underwent a kidney transplant at 17, he also underwent another transplant in 2015.  Besides his unfortunate health conditions, Eisenberg went on to play the role of Nog, the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, on the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , which aired from 1993-1999. He later played Kazon on Star Trek: Voyager and he also appeared on shows such as The Wonder Years , Parker Lewis Can’t Lose and Tales From the Crypt.  In recent years, however, he spent his time working as a professional photographer.  Many of his co-stars and friends mourned his loss, including Armin Shimerman, who played Eisenberg’s character’s uncle Quark on the Star Trek series. “He was a man of conviction and enormous sensitivity and the best of humanity. [My wife] Kitty and I grieve for Aron, his boys, and Malissa. Flight of angels my friend… you will be missed. There are no words…” he wrote. Garrett Wang, who played Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager , posted a video of Eisenberg at a fan convention where he also promoted a link to a GoFundMe page, created to help raise money to cover funeral costs. Aron is survived by his wife and his two sons, Christopher Eisenberg and Nicholas Eisenberg. We send our condolences to his friends, fans, and loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Tori Roloff is Here with a Helpful Pregnancy Update

Tori Roloff is nearing the home stretch. By which we mean the following: Tori Roloff is getting closer and closer to bringing her new baby home! The Little People, Big World still has a ways to go, of course, considering she’s due to give birth right around Thanksgiving. But still: It’s Labor Day weekend, which marks the unofficial end of summer, which means it’s not totally crazy to start thinking about autumn and the holidays that come along with it. So… how is Roloff feeling these days? Especially when you remember how down she was at one point about this second pregnancy? Doing an Instagram Story Q&A this weekend, Tori opened up once again about her physical and mental state as she heads into her third trimester. One fan, for example, asked how the reality star feeling now that’s she’s more than halfway through her latest pregnancy. “It’s been better these days,” she replied, explaining in more detail: “Baby girl is sitting really low, so she’s making my hips and hip flexors ache pretty bad.” Another person asked how Tori’s pregnancy compares to her first with son, Jackson. “Complete opposite,” Tori responded. “Jackson was a breeze compared to this pregnancy. I could have had it way worse.” This has been a constant theme for Roloff over the past several weeks. She has often made a point not to really complain, to make it clear she’s so very grateful that a life is growing inside her womb… and yet she has also been honest. She’s confessed that this hasn’t exactly been a breeze for the last three to four months. “This pregnancy has been a lot harder on me than the last,” Roloff admitted in early July, adding: “Don’t get me wrong-I’ve been so lucky… im not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the lord).” What has been the issue then? “I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around,” Tori said back then, continuing as follows: “I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure.” Because Tori is awesome, however, she concluded this July post with an inspiring message to her followers. “Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies,” she wrote. “And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift-and I’m trying trust me. But for all those women out there-pregnant or not- you need to hear this just like I do… You’re beautiful, you’re strong, and dang it love yourself no matter what. I know someone besides just me needs to hear that today. So excuse me while I go try my best to live out these words and continue growing a freaking human being. Tori and Zack are parents to a boy named Jackson and have already confirmed that a daughter is on the way. We’re so very happy for these beloved reality stars.

Back in October the brand launched their delicious ‘Pecan Resist’ ice-cream flavor a tasty anti-Trump treat that consists of chocolate ice cream with white and dark fudge chunks, pecans, walnuts and fudge-covered almonds. The new flavor was launched in Washington D.C. close to the White House. At the time, B&J’s said: “This flavor supports groups creating a more just and equitable nation for us all, and who are fighting President Trump’s regressive agenda.” Reps also told how they could not be silent in the face of POTUS’s policies which attack and attempt to roll back decades of progress on racial and gender equity. This weekend, while weed lovers around the world were enjoying 4/20 Ben & Jerry’s made sure to remind folks that people of color aren’t treated equally when it comes to cannabis and cannabis legalization. Watch the dope message below: It’s hard to celebrate 4/20 when so many people of color are still being arrested for pot. We have to do better.

According to Lamine, Issa’s indeed engaged and he fully supports his brother-in-law to be. “He’s just a good guy, man. He’s just a cool guy,” Lamine told Us Weekly about Issa’s fiance Louis Diame. “They’ve been dating forever. He’s already been like a brother to me. Family ties at all the family events and dinners, Christmas, Thanksgiving.” The rapper also told Us Weekly that couple hasn’t had time for an engagement party, so “we’re just going to celebrate once it’s time for the ceremony” and even added that Louis proposed during the holiday season. “They did it around the holidays,” he told Us of Diame’s proposal. “She’s so low-key too — for real!

Celebrity Cribs: Kim And Kanye Are Krafting A New Nursery For Baby Number 4, But They Still Don’t Have A Name

Source: Handout / Getty As you probably already know, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have a fourth little one on the way, and they’re busy at work getting ready for his arrival. An insider told Us Weekly , “Kim and Kanye have begun work on the nursery. North fully understands what’s going on and is so into it.” And it’s not only the couple’s oldest daughter, who’s excited for her younger sibling, but “Kim is in a great place,” as well, the source also tells Us . But when it comes to actually choosing a name for baby number 4, things aren’t going as smoothly. KimYe has always been known for their unique baby names, so they probably aren’t referencing any baby books for inspiration. “Kim and Kanye are not close to naming the new baby,” the insider added. “They won’t know until the week before and probably only day of. It’s quite the process.” It was first revealed back in January that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians  star and her husband are expecting their fourth child together via surrogate. The baby boy is said to be due “in very early May.” The KKW Beauty mogul confirmed that she was expanding her family’s newest addition while on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen  with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian. Kim admits that the news got out there because of her loose lips while drinking during the holidays. “It’s out there,” she admitted. “I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party, and I told some people. I can’t remember who I told, because I never get drunk.” The KUWTK star was honest about the fact that she was initially nervous about adding a fourth child into her already big family, but revealed she’s more at ease while on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in February. “I was kind of stressing that my house is so full, but I heard that parents of four are the most enlightened and calm of all parents,” she said at the time. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian tied the knot in 2013, one year after welcoming their first child, North. She became an older sister in 2015 when Saint arrived, followed by Chicago in January 2018.

Tristan Thompson Spent Valentine’s Day Flirting With Female Fans

Late last week, fans were relieved to hear that Khloe Kardashian has finally dumped Tristan Thompson . The pair’s distance on Valentine’s Day really drove home the message that things appear to be over between them. And it looks like the notorious cheater is already back on the market … if he was ever off the market to begin with. According to Life & Style , Tristan Thompson spent part of Valentine’s Day at the Pineapple Hill Saloon & Grill in Sherman Oaks, California. “Tristan was being flirty,” an insider reports. “Hitting up girls.” He is said to have chatted and posed for selfies with girls at the bar. For dinner, at least, he was less of a flirt. Us Weekly reports that Tristan dined with a couple of male pals at Gyu-Kaku restaurant. “He was with two other male friends,” a source says. “He seemed very calm and reserved. All of them did.” That’s less flrity … but it’s a far cry from a Valentine’s Day dinner with the mother of his daughter. But Us Weekly says that Tristan was much more flirtatious before he flew out from Ohio. The basketball player apparently spent some time with women at Barley House bar in Cleveland. “He came in the back door and he was snuck quickly through the back by two or three bouncers,” an insider revealed. “They took him immediately upstairs,” the source said. But Tristan didn’t spend much time alone. “There were some girls who went up afterward,” the insider shared. “One of the bouncers said, ‘Tristan Thompson is upstairs.'” “And they just said, ‘Really?’ and he took them up there,” the source described. Khloe has now had ten months to grapple with the reality of Tristan’s cheating scandal. As a source told Us Weekly last month, processing that betrayal takes time. “Tristan is a great father, but it’s not yet clear if they can fully rebuild what they had,” the insider admitted. “The extent of what Tristan did is still setting in,” the source noted. “She hasn’t gotten over it yet.” Sometimes, in an emotionally charged crisis, people latch onto a decision — such as to remain with a man who humiliated them. It can takes months or even years for them to realize that they madea  catastrophic mistake. As we reported on Friday, Khloe has allegedly finally kicked Tristan to the curb. “They are done — for good,” an insider claimed. “Khloe began to see what everyone else had been seeing for months,” the source added. “That he doesn’t deserve her.” “Khloe suspected he had cheated on her during the holidays,” the insider revealed. “And that,” the source said. “Was when she decided to remain in Los Angeles with True.” The insider concluded: “her only priority is True” It’s good to hear that Khloe is focusing her energy and affection where it belongs: on her child, precious baby True. Of course, it was widely reported that Khloe’s mistaken beliefs about what is best for True were why she stuck with Tristan in the first place. Some children who are deeply impacted by a parent’s divorce assume that all children with parents in different households feel the same way. Reports said that Khloe was worried that True would grow up with issues if her parents weren’t together. Some even claimed that Khloe thought that Tristan would be distant from True if Khloe didn’t use their relationship to encourage him to act as True’s father. Obviously, any man who needs to be induced to act as a good father is not actually a good father to begin with. For weeks, Khloe has been dropping strong hints about her feelings regarding Tristan. Instead of referring to him by name, she has been subtweeting and vagueing him social media. A lot of fans are encouraged that she’s taking this brave, difficult step by breaking things off. Others are concerned that Khloe is still on the fence, and that she could take Tristan back — again — at any given moment. Only time will tell.

Pete Davidson Returns to SNL, Touches on Suicide Threat

Pete Davidson made his first extended appearance on Saturday Night Live this weekend since threatening to kill himself over Instagram a few weeks ago. On the latest edition of this NBC program, the comedian stopped by Weekend Update and offered his thoughts on… … random Clint Eastwood movie The Mule?!? Yes. But the aforementioned talk of taking his own life did not go totally ignored. “Here to talk about a very important experience he had over the holidays is Pete Davidson,” Colin Jost said as Davidson joined him during the segment, asking: “How are ya, Pete?” “I'm great, as you know, I've had a really crazy month, and I wanna talk about something that matters a lot to me,” Davidson replied. “OK, mental health?” Jost asked. “No, the new Clint East movie, The Mule,” Davidson told Jost. From there, Davidson and fellow comedian John Mulaney really did talk at length about this film, although Pete did quip at one: “After observing John's life, I publicly threatened suicide. I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't make that joke, but it is funny.” This is where Mulaney turned to Davidson to assure him, “You are loved by many…and we are glad you are OK.” Back in December, the 25-year-old cast member shared a note on his Instagram account that read as follows: “I really don't want to be on this earth anymore. I'm doing my best to stay here for you but I actually don't know how much longer I can last. All I've ever tried to do was help people. Just remember I told you so.” Davidson has often been open about his struggles with substance abuse and mental health. He was also open about his engagement to Ariana Grande , until that fizzled out and the two went their separate ways. At the end of his segment here, Davidson did seemingly addressed his ex, saying very simply: “I didn't mention her once.” Check out the sort of funny and definitely awkward skit here.
