“I’m The Gay Tupac”: Jussie Smollett Makes His First Public Appearance Since Chicago Assault

Source: Joseph Marzullo/WENN.com / WENN Jussie Smollett’s Makes First Public Appearance In Los Angeles Jussie Smollett  performed at the West Hollywood’s Troubadour on Saturday in his first public appearance since being assaulted in Chicago earlier this week. The  Empire  star addressed the attack as he held back tears in front of the super supportive audience. “The most important thing that I can say is to keep it simple and say thank you and I’m okay,” the star confirmed. “I’m not fully healed yet, but I’m going to and I’m going to stand strong with you all. I had to be here tonight. I couldn’t let those motherf***ers win.” #JussieSmollett takes the stage at the Troubadour. He gets emotional, saying he’s “not fully healed” but he will be. pic.twitter.com/OZ3LZqKeRQ — Zulekha Nathoo (@ZulekhaNathoo) February 3, 2019 Smollett also set the record straight about a few details regarding the attack. According to him, his ribs were bruised—not cracked as was initially reported—and he did fight back during the assault. “I’m the gay Tupac,” he said about himself. As was previously reported, Jussie was attacked by two masked men allegedly shouting racial and homophobic slurs while walking outside of his Chicago apartment. The attackers reportedly hit him multiple times, poured bleach on him, and put a noose around his neck. No suspects have been apprehended as of yet. Before his appearance this weekend, Smollett issued an official statement where he explained that he is working with authorities to ensure justice is served. His message to the Los Angeles audience was of the same positive vein: “So, I will always stand for love, I will never stand for anything other than that. Regardless of what anyone else says, I will only stand for love and I hope you will all stand with me.”

Kenya Moore Turns 48, Flaunts Post-Baby Body in Sizzling Bikini

In November, just three weeks after her C-section, Kenya Moore showed off her post-baby body . Thursday was her 48th birthday, and Kenya marked the occasion by flexing on everyone. She is rocking a white bikini, showing off her flawless post-baby body. And she’s showing off her baby, too. Happy Birthday, Kenya Moore! On Thursday, January 24, Kenya turned 48 years old. To mark the occassion, she shared a mind-blowing glimpse of her body in a bright white bikini. The Beach photo shows her in the white top and matching cutout bikini bottoms. Her right arm is holding her hair in place. In her left arm, she’s holding her 2-month-old baby, Brooklyn. Kenya looks absolutely, jaw-droppingly incredible. We don’t just mean that she looks good for her age, though very few 48-year-olds have a body as rocking as hers. Very few people have a body that good, period. We also don’t simply mean that Kenya looks good for a woman who got cut open two months ago so that doctors could remove a baby. But she did very much have a C-section in November after suffering from severe preeclampsia. She looks so good, period. When it comes to having the body that you want, money trumps almost everything else. Kenya and her husband, Marc Daly, are fortunate enough to be people of means. This means that Kenya was able to afford firstrate prenatal care, the emergency C-section, and then care afterwards. It also means that wealth (and the ability to afford childcare) gave Kenya the free time to exercise to recover her pre-baby body. The vast majority of mothers cannot “bounce back” from delivering a baby like this. This is especially true for women in their later 40s. Thursday’s birthday bikini pic was not the first time that Kenya flexed on her followers. Just weeks after her C-section, Kenya shared mirror selfies of her body, which was already recovering. “The SnapBack is real! LOL,” Kenya captioned the photos. “I still can’t work out yet but I feel much better,” she shared. “I was cut twice during my 3 hr C-section,” she wrote. “But I made it!” “I’ve always been healthy and worked out my entire life,” Kenya noted. “Whatever my body will do I’m not rushing it.” “It feels good to start to feel myself again,” she gushed. Kenya concluded: “#brooklyndaly is worth every battle scar!” Brooklyn certainly is. Brooklyn is Kenya’s first child. She waited all of her life for the right man, and finally found Marc Daly. Her secret marriage earned her the ire of The Real Housewives of Atlanta producers and may have ultimately been a factor in costing her her peach. But she knew what she wanted in her life and had her priorities in order. Kenya also knew that she was taking serious risks with a pregnancy at her age, but she went with it. We are so, so glad and grateful that both Kenya and Brooklyn made it through that risky pregnancy and are both doing so well.

Briana DeJesus: Jenelle Evans Will NEVER Get Along With Kailyn Lowry! [Exclusive]

Briana DeJesus is like lightning in a bottle. DeJesus breathed new life into the aging Teen Mom 2 franchise when she joined the cast in 2017, an effect that MTV has been unable to reproduce on Teen Mom OG . The reason, of course, is that Bristol Palin and Cheyenne Floyd are not Briana DeJesus. Briana knows how to stir the pot and spill the tea like any good reality star should. In fact, as she proved in a recent exclusive interview with The Hollywood Gossip , the mother of two can deliver the drama even when the cameras aren't rolling. Take a look: 1. Briana Drama Briana spoke exclusively with The Hollywood Gossip this week, and she had much to say about her kids, her new relationship, and her famously volatile co-stars. 2. A Frightening Incident The health and well-being of Briana’s youngest daughter has been a subject of concern for fans ever since little Stella was rushed to a hospital in August. 3. On the Mend Fortunately, the 17-month-old is recovering nicely following a bout with septic arthritis. 4. Making Progress “Stella is definitely ok,” Briana tells THG, adding that her eldest daughter, Nova, loves taking care of her little sis. 5. Team Effort “She gets the common cold here and there but for the most part she’s back to her normal self and nova loves taking care of Stella and making sure she’s OK,” Dejesus adds. 6. Heating Up Back in September, Briana revealed that she’s dating a New York native named Johnny Rodriguez. View Slideshow

Kenya Moore Gloats as The Real Housewives of Atlanta Ratings Plummet Without Her

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back for Season 11. Unfortunately, ratings at the season premiere are lower than they’ve been in several years. Meanwhile, former Housewife Kenya Moore welcomed her first child … and she can’t help but smile. If you  watch  The Real Housewives of Atlanta  online , you know that the show has been going on as before. Kandi and Porsha are struggling to approximate friendship after previously feuding. NeNe is grappling with Gregg’s cancer battle. But Kenya Moore is missing. She’s no longer on the show. In real life, however, she recently gave birth to a precious preemie baby, Brooklyn Doris Daly. And on Sunday, Kenya shared this precious photo for the world to see: Kenya hasn’t shown her adorable baby’s face yet, but a precious baby hand is more than enough to tide over her fans. Following being diagnosed with preeclampsia, which caused her feet to swell, Kenya was given a C-section . Kenya, though certainly not  old  by any reasonable metric, is considered “old” for pregnancy, so she always knew that there would be risks. Fortunately, it seems that the C-section was a success. Kenya is recovering, and was even feeling healthy enough to go on a Target run (in a motorized scooter, to be clear). And at 5 pounds and 12 ounces, baby Brooklyn was technically within the “normal” range for baby weights, if very close to the low end of the spectrum. But one person did not find Kenya’s sweet mother-daughter hand photo endearing in the least. “I can’t wit the calculations on Sunday’s,” NeNe Leakes wrote on Instagram. She tagged her vague post: “#thethirstisreal #weseeyou #wacks–t” The implication that NeNe seemed to be making was that Kenya timed her photo in a shady manner. Perhaps, for example, Kenya showed off her baby’s hand to distract fans from her former show. Or maybe she did it to remind Bravo of the kind of content that they’re missing out on since she’s no longer on the show. Whatever it is that NeNe believes that Kenya is up to … it’s unclear why NeNe felt the need to comment. Some might suspect that NeNe is feeling insecure because of what some tabloids have described as a “ratings crash.” The season premiere of  The Real Housewives of Atlanta  brought in 1.93 million viewers. That made it the lowest rated season opener since Season 5. That said, relatively low ratings for a premiere aren’t necessarily a huge crash. it’s not  good  news, but they had about the same number of viewers as recently as April 1 of 2018. Bravo may be concerned, but we can’t imagine that they’re panicking. That said, NeNe may be worried — because she’s the show’s highest paid star. That said, some people can’t help but connect the dots. Kenya’s firing was certainly the biggest change between last season and this season. Now, Kenya has everything she wanted — a loving husband and a precious newborn baby. In the mean time,  The Real Housewives of Atlanta  has taken a downward turn from being Bravo’s highest rated show. It may not have been Kenya’s choice to go overboard, but it’s looking like she may have jumped ship at a smart time. Or maybe people are less interested now that she’s off the show. Not every Real Housewives series is going to last or click with all viewers. But we don’t think that it’s time to start singing  RHOA ‘s funeral dirge just yet. This season’s ratings may pick up. If not, there’s always next season. Probably Bravo would likely be reluctant to cancel, for a host of reasons. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11: All the Secrets… EXPOSED!

Kenya Moore: It’ll Be Weeks Before I Walk Again After C-Section

Just days ago, Kenya Moore welcomed her first child with husband Marc Daly. It was a difficult, premature birth brought on by pregnancy complications. Now, Kenya is opening up about her recovery, and the differences between real life and reality television. “#realVsReality,” Kenya tagged her video, pointing at how real life and reality television are very different. “#brooklyndaly came early,” she reminds her fans and followers of her newborn daughter. “And the reality is,” Kenya continues. “It will take weeks for me to be able to walk without the excruciating pain of a C section.” “And,” she says, it will takes weeks for her “to heal from the multiple cuts to my uterus.” C-sections are no joke, folks. But that didn’t stop Kenya from taking a motorized scooter on a tour of Target. “Needed to get her some preemie items,” Kenya shares. “So of course,” Kenya continues. “Off to @target we went.” “My aunt Lisa is so afraid!” she admits. Kenya then confesses: “I’m supposed to be in bed.” The idea of going shopping just a few days after giving birth in any fashion is … a little alarming. (Yes, some people gave birth and then went to go vote just hours later, but they are the exception, not the rule) After a C-section, Kenya should be at home, being catered to and focusing on healing. In April, Kenya revealed that she and Marc Daly were expecting their first child. Six months later, on Halloween, Kenya revealed that there were complications with her pregnancy. Kenya was diagnosed with preeclamsia, the three main symptoms of which are high blood pressure, swelling of hands and feet, and protein in urine. Out of concern over this dangerous pregnancy condition, doctors and Kenya decided upon a C-section. Her baby, Brooklyn Doris Daly, was removed from her uterus by skilled surgeons. Brooklyn is considered premature, and weighs just 5 pounds and 12 ounces. Despite her preemie status, Brooklyn is said to be alert and after. Kenya explained how she and Marc chose their firstborn’s name. “Brooklyn because that’s where we met and fell in love,” Kenya said. “And Doris,” she continued. “After my grandmother who passed away last year and who raised me.” Daly , of course, comes from the last name of her husband, Marc Daly. Kenya Moore is not old in real life. She is 47 years old. In terms of safely becoming pregnant, staying pregnant, and carrying a child to term, she is definitely within the upper extremes of age. (That’s by the standards of the medical community — we’re not age-shaming her) We’re sure that Kenya and Marc are so grateful that they were able to come through this pregnancy with both mother and baby alive and healthy. Last year, they married each other. Now, just a year and a half later, they’re growing their family. In all honesty, the trip to Target less than a week after a C-section sounds a little … far-fetched. Target is a great place as far as liminal spaces are concerned, but Kenya going herself is odd. We’re sure that Atlanta has delivery options (we don’t have to guess; we looked it up). Also, Kenya has family and a husband who could have gone. Either Kenya is just really specific about what she wants her baby to have and couldn’t wait a week … … Or maybe this was an endorsement deal and she’s doing it for the cash.

Ariana Grande to Pete Davidson: Wrote You a New Song, Loser!

Why has everything with Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson always happened so fast?! Their engagement, their breakup, the backlash from the breakup … It’s like everything has been happening in warp speed. Do they exist in some slightly different universe in which time moves at a different pace? Does being young and famous really make you wild and free enough to feel comfortable getting engaged to someone after a few seconds of dating? It’s hard to say what exactly has been going on, but boy, it sure has been a lot. As we all remember, Ariana and Pete got engaged in June after a few weeks of dating. They moved in together, they got tattoos together … like we said, it’s been a lot. Things seemed to be going great for them for a while, but last month, they suddenly split . At first, reports claimed that nothing major had happened between them, that they simply realized the timing wasn’t right. One would also imagine that the death of Mac Miller was so hard on Ariana that it must have been tough on their relationship. So it was a sort of amicable, “maybe we’ll get back together someday” kind of breakup, right? Yeah, not so much. Things took a swift turn a few days ago when Pete made a joke about Ariana in a Saturday Night Live promo. Pete Davidson Jokes About Ariana Grande Breakup Well, sort of — in the promo, he proposed to the musical guest of the week, Maggie Rogers, because he moves so fast in relationships, get it? It didn’t seem like a dig at her at all, but still, she wasn’t too happy to hear about it. “For somebody who claims to hate relevancy u sure love clinging to it huh,” she tweeted after seeing the clip. She followed that up with “Thank u, next,” which is already becoming iconic … BECAUSE THAT’S THE NAME OF HER NEW SONG AND ALBUM! Yep, Ariana just released her last album, Sweetener, in August, but she’s already working on her next one, which, as we said, will be titled Thank U, Next. And last night, just a few minutes before Saturday Night Live began airing, she released the title track. The shade, right?! In the very first verse, she name drops four of her exes, including Pete, because the girl is simply not holding back. Let’s just check it out in all its glory, OK? Here goes: Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh Even almost got married / And for Pete, I’m so thankful Wish I could say “Thank you” to Malcolm / ‘Cause he was an angel She sang that one of those exes “taught me love,” one “taught me patience,” and another “taught me pain.” If she’s going in order, she means that Big Sean taught her love, Ricky Alvarez taught her patience, and Pete taught her pain. She could mean something different, of course, and it’s definitely possible that Mac Miller was the one who taught her pain, considering his heartbreaking addiction and subsequent death . But what’s neat about this song is that it isn’t a diss track at all. As she explains it in the lyrics, “I’ve loved and I’ve lost, but that’s not what I see / So look what I got, look what you taught me.” In the chorus, she sings “I’m so f-cking grateful for my ex,” which is really the whole vibe of this song. Well, that, and getting into another relationship now — this time, one with herself. After releasing the song, she hopped back on Twitter to discuss things with her fans, because she’s a doll like that. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande vs. Pete Davidson: Whose Side Should You Take In This Ugly Breakup? According to her, this song contains “no drags…. no shade….. just love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness … and growth.” We can’t wait to see what’s next from her!
