Back in June, Dog’s Most Wanted star Beth Chapman passed away at age 51 after battling throat cancer for yeras. He family, friends, and fans continue to grieve her. Now, her daughter Cecily has shared a heartbreaking throwback photo as a tribute to her mom. Take a look: Cecily B Chapman took to Instagram to share a throwback photo of her late mother’s amazing nails on the steering wheel. “My heart is so heavy,” Cecily admits. For illustrative effect, she then includes a bright red broken heart emoji. Speaking of her beloved mother, Cecily writes: “she was so amazing.” “I was so lucky….” she acknowledges. Cecily then shared that she had gotten a similar nail job, even though she had cried the entire time. Fans may not have known Beth like her children did, but they are mourning right alongside them. In the comment below this heartfelt post, affection and emotional support poured in to the grieving daughter. “Take her legacy and model her grace,” suggests one fan. That same follower adds: “That is the best gift you could give to honor her.” That is some very touching advice. “So so sad. so many hearts are heavy,” observes another fan. That same follower adds: “I miss her I could only imagine what your all feeling.” “[Stay] strong,” the kind commenter instructs. “She’s watching over each and every single one of u guys.” “She loves u all so much so much,” the fan emphasizes. “I bet her love is so strong that you can feel it in the air she is all around you guys,” the follower concludes. “Living in your [heart].” “Your mom was an amazing person,” another fan affirms. Of that, no one has any doubts. She was deeply memorable both on and off camera. That takes a very special type of person. The follower adds: “And a part of her lives on in you.” “The loss of a parent by far is one of the hardest things in life to deal with and []accept]…” the commenter acknowledges. The fan then expresses: “I know god has a plan for your Mom to be taken so soon.” “She is amazing,” affirms another commenter, notably using the present tense. That fan continues, still in the present tense: “And you are very lucky.” The commenter explains: “just because she’s physically not here anymore doesn’t mean she’s gone.” Others kept it simple, short, and sweet. “I miss her beautiful smile,” Cecily wrote in another post several days ago. Initially, the reality star and mother had been declared cancer-free after undergoing surgery to remove the cancer. Unfortunately, it returned with a vengeance. Beth had expressed that she saw her renewed cancer battle as a test of faith. She even apologized to her fans and to her loved ones for not using every possible weapon in her fight. As Beth explained, chemotherapy is just not something that she wanted to undergo — no matter the consequences. Our thoughts continue to be with Cecily, Duane, and the rest of the family as they grapple with this terrible loss. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
The news that Jenelle Evans and David Eason had regained custody of their kids hit Teen Mom 2 fans like a crushing blow to the temple. Actually, it would be more accurate to say that Jenelle and David regained custody of most of their kids, considering her son Jace and his son Kaden will continue to reside with more stable relatives. It would also be more accurate to say that former Teen Mom 2 fans were stunned by the news, as many vowed to never again support the series that made this appalling situation possible, even though Jenelle was fired from the show several months ago. Anyway, as when Donald Trump was elected president or the New England Patriots won yet another Super Bowl, reports of the judge’s ruling left many with the feeling that the bad guys had pulled off a surprise victory. But according to one person who’s very well-acquainted with Jenelle and her parenting style, the situation played out in the best way possible, and the Eason kids are back where they belong. Heather Griffith is the sister of Jenelle’s second baby daddy, Nathan Griffith, who was as stunned as everyone else when his son Kaiser was returned to The Land by a judge who had apparently been experimenting with LSD. Heather says she only really got to know Jenelle once the kids were taken away (?!), and she claims that the mother of her nephew has been misrepresented by the media and is actually a devoted parent (?!?!?) who deserves custody of her kids. “I think a lot of things have been exaggerated and blown out of proportion. I don’t see Jenelle as an unfit parent or someone that doesn’t love her kids,” Heather tells Hollywood Life . “I watch her go through this process, and she’s tried to remain so positive but she was just so sad.” Heather goes on to say that all the coverage of Jenelle’s arrests, accusations of neglect, and frequent substance abuse episodes are nothing more than fake news: “After getting to know her over the past few months — we recently became closer when the kids were taken away — I don’t see her as this horrible, vindictive person that she’s constantly being played out to be,” Heather says, “I think she is just constantly under attack and I don’t think that she’s unfit as a parent.” Nathan, of course, strongly disagrees, and he’ll continue to fight for custody of Kaiser in hearings that are set to begin next month. “I think just with her situation I would be more fit as a parent,” Nathan told TMZ earlier this week, adding that he believed Kaiser isn’t receiving proper “love and affection.” Heather says she supports Nathan in his fight for custody, but somehow, she’s also 100 percent #TeamJenelle these days. “I have talked to her pretty much ever since the kids were taken from her,” Heather tells Hollywood Life. “We check in with each other every day to make sure things are going well throughout the whole process.” In order to appreciate how weird this situation is, we encourage you to pause for a moment and imagine becoming besties with your sibling’s violent, abusive ex-fiance — but only after that person has her kids taken away following a scathing CPS investigation. ee”We’re building a friendship now. It’s hard because Nate’s my brother and I can never be in her corner, but I can referee and make sure she gets a fair fight. I see so much promise and potential in her,” says Heather. “She’s a go-getter; she’s doing what she has to support her family,” Nathan’s sister adds. “One thing I can say about her is that she totally respects the rules of not saying anything bad about my brother,” she continues. “She has never bashed my brother to me or said one bad thing [about him].” Well, to be honest, “rule-respecting go-getter” isn’t exactly the description that jumps to mind when we think about Jenelle Evans. But then again, maybe Heather Griffith knows much more about the former Teen Mom 2 star than we do. After all, they did grab lunch together during a custody hearing and now they send each other funny memes, or whatever.

We already reported that NeNe Leakes’ tantrums have forced some casting shakeups out of Bravo. But we can just about guarantee that she won’t like every change that producers have made. Kenya Moore is returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 12! Kenya Moore is back! It’s a huge surprise, since we had already reported that Kenya was involved in some filming issues on set. (And by “filming issues,” we mean that NeNe was refusing to film with her , of course) But now, multiple source have confirmed to Us Weekly that Kenya is returning for Season 12. She has her peach back! “Kenya may be a friend,” the insider notes. “But,” the source reminds fans. “It always depends on how filming goes.” The insider adds that it depends upon what is caught on film “and chemistry with the cast.” Kenya spent years having enough chemistry for Full Housewife status, so we don’t imagine that it would be difficult to do again. The source predicts: “Kenya could always be upgraded to full Housewife.” Even if we hadn’t already heard reports that Kenya was filming for the show in some capacity, this wouldn’t really be much of a shocker. Remember, she only appeared in one episode of Season 11. That simple cameo was enough to cause a lasting, painful rift between NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey. If Kenya can be the catalyst for that much drama in a simple guest appearance, imagine how much she could cause on a whole season. Soon, we won’t have to imagine. Kenya first joined the cast for Season 5 back in 2012. (Doesn’t it seem like that was just a few years ago?) Kenya remained on the show as a Full Housewife for six seasons But then, in the summer of 2017, things for Kenya changed very abruptly. She became more guarded with information about her personal life — a decision practically antithetical to her job. Kenya held a secret wedding to Marc Daly, sending fans and producers into a furor. The whole point of following a reality star like Kenya is to capture not just the squabbles and feuds, but the big life milestones. She waited weeks before she even revealed Marc’s name. The story was that Marc didn’t like The Real Housewives of Atlanta because he believes that the show portrays black men in a negative light. To date, he has made one brief appearance. Kenya explained that she had elected to step back during Season 11. “I have decided to take this season off to focus on my high-risk pregnancy in a healthy and drama-free environment,” Kenya told Us Weekly . She continued: “I thank Bravo for this amazing platform that has allowed me to grow, flourish, and appreciate the value of what is truly important in life.” Fans are excited to see Kenya’s return. And NeNe’s animosity only makes viewers more eager to see the feuds to come. Kenya may not even have to do all that much work to find herself at the epicenter of drama. It sounds like NeNe is doing the heavy lifting — at least, when she’s willing to actually film with her castmates. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 12 Salaries: REVEALED!
Over the weekend, beloved Disney star Cameron Boyce passed away , shocking his countless fans and paining his loved ones. He was only 20 years old. Now, his father is sharing a photo taken just hours before Cameron was taken from the world. Taking to Instagram for his first post since the sudden and tragic death of his son, Victor Boyce shared this photo. “My son,” he writes. “Just hours before he was snatched from our lives.” “I miss him terribly,” Victor affirms. He continues: “I hope that no one ever has to feel the agony I’m feeling.” “But,” Victor is all too aware. “No one is immune to tragedy.” For days, now, Cameron Boyce’s legions of fans have been sending messages of grief and emotional support. “The outpouring of love and support our family continues to receive is so beautiful and appreciated,” Victor expresses. You never know when your kind comment or sympathetic gesture could mean the world to a total stranger. Whether it’s for a woman sobbing in a grocery store or a man grieving on social media, your words can have a powerful impact. Victor’s caption concludes: “Thank you all for helping us through our worst possible situation.” Cameron Boyce was a Disney star, noted for his role on the series Jessie. More recently, he starred as Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil, on the beloved made-for-TV movie franchise, The Descendants . As his family shared after his sudden passing, Cameron had been diagnosed years ago with epilepsy. It was a catastrophic seizure that claimed his life as he slept. This is so heartbreaking — for his fans, his friends, and especially for his family. Cameron’s charm and famed saw his memory honored by beloved First Lady Michelle Obama. “I was lucky enough to share a few moments with Cameron Boyce,” Michelle reminded her followers. She noted that she had rubbed elbows with him “on set, at the White House, and on a service project.” Michelle was around him for “enough time to recognize that not only did he have incredible talent, but also an incredible heart.” “Sending out a lot of love and hugs to his family, friends, and his many, many fans,” Michelle concluded. In 2014, when Cameron starred on Jessie , Michelle Obama made a very special guest appearance. It was during this time that she made the rounds on a select number of popular tween dramas. The goal was to acknowledge the special sacrifices made by military families. Cameron then appeared alongside some of his castmates at the White House’s Easter celebration. Michelle and Cameron also worked alongside each other on a Toys for Tots drive. Victor had previously expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of kind words from fans. On Sunday, he took to Twitter to acknowledge Cameron’s many mourners. “I’m overwhelmed with the love and support our family has received,” Victor’s tweet began. “It really does help to ease the pain,” he admitted. “Of this nightmare I can’t wake up from.” Victor’s heartfelt tweet concluded: “I can’t thank you guys enough.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

B2K, Chingy, Ying Yang Twins, Lloyd, Mario, Pretty Ricky, and Bobby V will all be in the building on August 4 ready to hit Toronto’s Budweiser Stage. Drake himself is currently the only act scheduled for August 5, but given the 8 year history of OVO Fest, it would be pretty surprising if the rapper didn’t bring out a few special guests for his set. In addition to the music festival, OVO Summit will take place August 1-2, while OVO Bounce goes down July 29 to August 2.

Source: Robin L Marshall / Getty Basketball Wives picks up right from the fall out of OG blowing up Kristen’s spot about Kristen and her husband not being real Scotts. Kristen calls her man to tell him how she’s going to beat up CeCe and OG (as if anyone is actually afraid of her). CeCe tells OG that she didn’t have to weaponize sensitive information that was revealed in private. Then CeCe starts crying and talking about how she didn’t mean for things to go this way. Trying to play innocent when this is probably what her inner thoughts look like: Shaunie, Malaysia, Evelyn, and Feby are just looking at OG like… They really don’t like her anyway, so they’re making it a point to tell her how dead wrong she is, yatta yatta. But they’re also giving CeCe the side eye because she’s the one who put the battery in OG’s back by talking trash about Kristen and their family to her. Obviously, the family drama is deep. Malaysia probably didn’t really know what she was getting into bringing them on the show. You know how you have relatives that you’re cool with but you might not see or talk to that often, so you don’t always know what’s going on with them? That’s what this kind of seems like. So, bringing them on Basketball Wives might not have been such a good idea after all. No one wins when the family feuds. Sorry, couldn’t resist. Tami meets up with OG and Jackie another day and is on OG’s side. So, when Jackie is trying to explain what happened and how OG is wrong, Tami pushes back. This causes them to go back and forth, and Jackie gets really pissed when Tami calls her fake. Tami’s thing is that Jackie has been involved in lots of they petty mean girl stuff so why is she trying to chastise OG now? Later on, Tami kicks it with Jackie, Shaunie, and OG and once again, they talk about the drama. Now it’s Shaunie’s turn to tell OG how wrong she was and that she comes off as too aggressive sometimes. But wait, has Shaunie ever called any of the other wild cassowaries on this show aggressive? Tami used to bully newbies all the time and Shaunie would stand off to the side with that smirk on her face. Or how about Evelyn, running across tables to fight people? Did Shaunie ever chastise any of them? Anyway, OG owns up to being wrong about revealing that information, which she is, but she said she’s backing off and plans to work on herself. The good news is that Jackie and Tami work things out but Tami still doesn’t like how everyone has been treating OG so she’s going to have a brunch where everyone can come and discuss. Because that’s going to go well. Part of why Tami seems to have such a soft spot for OG is that she feels like OG is a target and that she can relate. In Tami’s mind, she has also been ganged up on and have had these women say mean things about her. Kind of true, but also kind of not. There have been mean things said about Tami by women she was beefing with at the moment, but no one ganged up on her (because they’re scared), and it’s not like Tami was ever innocent. Anyway, Tami starts the talk. We get to a point where Kristen and OG are going back and forth, as expected. Kristen says that OG felt the need to say what she said to be hurtful. That is true, but OG denies this. OG says she got the info from CeCe and Byron while at dinner with them and that Byron told her that people know this information (uh, yeah, close family) and that it would be totally fine if she ever had to pass that information on to anyone else. Anyway, Kristen asks OG why she has a problem with her. OG says she doesn’t have a problem with Kristen but that Kristen has a problem with her , and now everyone is either like wtf or just looking at her all kinds of sideways (or both). Neither Kristen nor OG is actually wrong. They respectively have a problem with each other. Anyway, Malaysia tells Cece that she felt that CeCe was talking trash about Kristen to OG so that OG would do what she did. CeCe denies this. Then Kristen asks CeCe how she would feel if Byon’s children didn’t show up to the wedding. CeCe says she doesn’t care. She only cares about Byron and this is the last time Kristen is going to see her. Yeah, this brunch wasn’t productive. So now Malaysia feels like she has to go to Byron himself. Malaysia confronts Byon and tells him everything that happened. He said he did give that information to CeCe and OG, but it’s not like it’s a secret secret , even though only a few select people know. Malaysia asks if he told OG to run back and tell everyone, which is not quite what OG said he said, but mmmkay. Anyway, he denies this. He also says he knows CeCe isn’t innocent in this, but that she was tired of getting attacked, which is valid. Then she asks about his beef with Kristen. He repeats that he’s mad at Kristen for making him look like a bad grandfather and that’s why he said what he said. Lordt. Messy. Boots. Nothing gets resolved this episode so come back next week for more.

It is, officially, the end of a dramatic and intense and emotional and memorable era. Lisa Vanderpump is no longer a member of The Real Housewives family. Following Tuesday night’s episode of this beloved franchise , the veteran reality star took to her Instagram account and bid farewell to the show and its loyal viewers. She shared a montage clip that featured sultry saxophone music in the background, along with herself in a flowing gown, and wrote as a caption to the footage: The Pump has left the building. Thank you to all of you for your support for 9 years. #rhobh. Vanderpump, of course, had been a series regular in Beverly Hills from the very beginning. She turned her stint on the show into her very own spinoff, Vanderpump Rules, and has used the fame she garnered as a cable network stalwart to expand her restaurant franchise. Along with Bethenny Frankel and NeNe Leakes, one could argue that Vanderpump has been the most successful Real Housewife of all-time. Vanderpump told Entertainment Tonight back in April that she “stopped filming halfway through the [current] season” and that a reconciliation with her fellow cast members was unlikely after one too many fallouts. “When you are a woman of integrity, and you’re a woman that works really hard and is very compassionate, and is very principally minded, and they keep coming at you and ganging up on you, I don’t know,” she said at the time, adding: “I didn’t integrate with the other women after they constantly called me a liar.” The star has faced multiple personal tragedies over the past year, contributing to her need to make some sort of change in her life. Last April, Vanderpump’s brother died of a suspected drug overdose . This past June, her mother passed away . It didn’t help, after all this, that Vanderpump clashed with her colleagues over a dog this past season. Yes, a dog . Known to fans as PuppyGate, we’re referring to an incident that involved a canine that Dorit Kemsley adopted from Vanderpump Dogs. She then alleged the dog nipped at her husband and kids. Instead of returning it to Vanderpump Dogs, however, the pet ended up in a shelter. From there, Vanderpump was accused of leaking a story about Kemsley’s dog to the press, an act she has since denied. It may sound ridiculous, but it created legitimate tension between all involved. In May, on an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump took a lie detector test to prove her innocence in PuppyGate. “I handled it with the truth and that’s, I think, why I ended up doing the lie detector test,” she explained to Us Weekly earlier that month. “Because I was like, I was so sick of them saying, ‘Oh, I don’t believe this.’ Or ‘I don’t believe that.’ Or ‘You did this.’” Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9 Episode 21 Online Lisa then spoke to this same tablod last month. “I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally,” Lisa told Us Weekly last month while attending 7th Annual Real to Reel: Portrayals and Perceptions of LGBT’s in Hollywood event. She added: “I had wonderful things happen this year, opening up and TomTom and the cocktail garden in Vegas. The Housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.” Will you miss Vanderpump? Will you keep watching the show without her?
