The Bachelorette Stars: Ranked Worst-to-1st By Relationship Length!

If The Bachelorette spoilers are any indication … Hannah Brown may have her heart set on The One already on the new season. If you just look at the venerable franchise's track record, however, Hannah Beast's odds of long-term success are mixed at best. Why do we say that? Isn't it obvious? This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain. Can they transition into real life, establish a new normal and make it work? They can, but often times, they fall short of that goal. We have ranked the 14 stars of The Bachelorette based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as ABC's queen. See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if HB can find what some (if not all) of her predecessors have found … 1. Jen Schefft Bachelorette Jen Schefft broke up with winner Jerry Ferris on the After the Rose special because she just “wasn’t feeling it.” Not even making it to the day after the finale? That’s a low bar set for everyone else. 2. Emily Maynard Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up just a few months after his proposal in 2012. He was never the right guy anyway. Should’ve picked Sean Lowe. Not that she or Sean (who is happily married to Catherine Giudici, who he met on The Bachelor) are overthinking it right now. Emily has since married and had a bunch of kids with Tyler Johnson. 3. Andi Dorfman Andi Dorfman found love with Josh Murray on The Bachelorette. Unfortunately, their engagement ended after only six months or so. 4. DeAnna Pappas DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak broke up seven months after their finale aired. She went on to marry Stephen Stagliano, a high school teacher and the twin brother of former Bachelorette contestant Mike Stagliano! 5. Jillian Harris Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski broke up one year after their finale aired. Swiderski later appeared on Bachelor Pad. Jillian now appears on HGTV’s Love it or List it Too. 6. Meredith Phillips Meredith Phillips, the second Bachelorette, chose Ian McKee as her groom. The two broke up just over a year later, with little fanfare. View Slideshow

Amber Heard: Johnny Depp Is an Alcoholic "Monster" Who’s Jealous of James Franco

When Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce in 2017, both parties signed non-disclosure agreements barring them from speaking about the relationship or the breakup in interviews. But some stories are too scandalous to stay buried, and a series of lawsuits have resulted in the strange tale of one of Hollywood’s most disastrous marriages being dredged up time and time again. In December of 2018, Heard published an op-ed in the Washington Post in which she referenced the abuse she had allegedly suffered during her marriage. Though she never mentioned him by name in the piece, Depp filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard , alleging that she had violated the NDA. Last week saw the release of court documents in which Depp claimed that Heard tried to cut off his finger , amongst other allegations. Now it’s Heard’s turn to return fire, and based on a filing obtained by Page Six , she’s certainly not holding back. In the documents, Heard claims Depp “would become a totally different person, often delusional and violent. We called that version of Johnny, ‘the Monster.’” She goes on to detail a May 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles, during which Depp “began to throw objects at me” after becoming infuriated by news that she had filmed a romantic scene with actor James Franco. “Instead of reacting to his behavior, I simply moved seats,” she said. “That didn’t stop him. He provocatively pushed a chair at me as I walked by, yelled at me, and taunted me by yelling out the name ‘James Franco.’”  We racked our brains for a scene in Pineapple Express in which Heard and Franco hook up before remembering that the actors also appeared together in a second film, 2015’s The Adderall Diaries . Apparently, Depp had forgotten that he was married to an actress and was upset to learn that Heard and Franco kissed on camera. Heard goes on to claim that Depp “picked another fight with me” at the couple’s apartment in LA in 2015. She says the actor “threw another decanter at me, knocked items around the room, and punched a wall,” and alleges he “slapped me hard, grabbed me by my hair and dragged me from a stairwell to the office to the living to the kitchen to the bedroom and then to the guest room.” Heard claims that when she told Depp she wanted “to leave him, and that I would call the police if he ever touched me again,” the actor responded by  “pushing me” and “head-butted me in my face.” Depp denies that he ever behaved abusively toward Heard. In a statement, Depp’s lawyers argue that he “never abused Ms. Heard, adding: “Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016. They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms. Heard and advance her career.” Heard’s attorneys fired back, claiming that Depp’s lawsuit is not about the $50 million, but is rather part of a larger campaign to protect Depp’s reputation by preventing Heard from telling her story. “This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard. She will not be silenced,” they wrote in court documents. “Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.” Needless to say, it looks as though this situation will only get uglier from here. We’ll continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Johnny Depp Opens Up About Drugs, Debt, Divorce In Bonkers Interview

Burberry Apologizes For “Noose Hoodie” Showcased At London Fashion Week

Go here to read the rest:

Source: John Keeble / Getty What is going on with these brands? Just after Gucci and Moncler were blasted for racist designs that very blatantly showcased blackface, Burberry is also being accused of racism and insensitivity. After featuring a hoodie with a noose around the neck during their autumn/winter 2019 fashion show on Sunday, Burberry CEO Marc Gobbetti is apologizing. “We are deeply sorry for the distress caused by one of the products that featured in our A/W 2019 runway collection Tempest,” Gobbetti said in the statement provided to CNN . “Though the design was inspired by the marine theme that ran throughout the collection, it was insensitive and we made a mistake.” Liz Kennedy—a model who was a part of the show— came for Burberry hard over the weekend. “Suicide is not fashion. It is not glamorous nor edgy and since this show is dedicated to the youth expressing their voice, here I go. Riccardo Tisci and everyone at Burberry it is beyond me how you could let a look resembling a noose hanging from a neck out on the runway” she wrote, adding “How could anyone overlook this and think it would be okay to do this especially in a line dedicated to young girls and youth. The impressionable youth. Not to mention the rising suicide rates world wide. Let’s not forget about the horrifying history of lynching either. There are hundreds of ways to tie a rope and they chose to tie it like a noose completely ignoring the fact that it was hanging around a neck. A massive brand like Burberry who is typically considered commercial and classy should not have overlooked such an obvious resemblance.” See her full message, along with a photo of the hoodie, below. View this post on Instagram @burberry @riccardotisci17 Suicide is not fashion. It is not glamorous nor edgy and since this show is dedicated to the youth expressing their voice, here I go. Riccardo Tisci and everyone at Burberry it is beyond me how you could let a look resembling a noose hanging from a neck out on the runway. How could anyone overlook this and think it would be okay to do this especially in a line dedicated to young girls and youth. The impressionable youth.

There are hundreds of ways to tie a rope and they chose to tie it like a noose completely ignoring the fact that it was hanging around a neck. A massive brand like Burberry who is typically considered commercial and classy should not have overlooked such an obvious resemblance. I left my fitting extremely triggered after seeing this look (even though I did not wear it myself). Feeling as though I was right back where I was when I was going through an experience with suicide in my family. Also to add in they briefly hung one from the ceiling (trying to figure out the knot) and were laughing about it in the dressing room. I had asked to speak to someone about it but the only thing I was told to do was to write a letter. I had a brief conversation with someone but all that it entailed was “it’s fashion. Nobody cares about what’s going on in your personal life so just keep it to yourself” well I’m sorry but this is an issue bigger than myself. The issue is not about me being upset, there is a bigger picture here of what fashion turns a blind eye to or does to gain publicity. A look so ignorantly put together and a situation so poorly handled. I am ashamed to have been apart of the show. #burberry. I did not post this to disrespect the designer or the brand but to simply express an issue I feel very passionate about. A post shared by (@liz.kennedy_) on Feb 17, 2019 at 9:51am PST Photo: Getty

Black-Owned Biscuit Brand Lands Distribution Deals With Walmart, Whole Foods, Other Retailers

Read the original post:

B lack entrepreneurs are making power moves in 2019. Just weeks after 18-year-old beauty entrepreneur Zandra Cunningham landed a huge deal with Target, another entrepreneur has inked deals with other national retailers. Lesley Riley , founder of the gourmet baking company Mama Biscuits, will have her products sold at Walmart, Sam’s Club, Whole Foods and other stores, Black News reported. A 127-year old family biscuit recipe has helped this Black entrepreneur make #blackhistory by scoring major national distribution deals… in just 4 years! #buyblack #blackgirlmagic #blackgirlsrock https://t.co/0PrsKJgf2a — Black News (@BlackNews) February 11, 2019 Riley—who started Mama Biscuits four years ago—wanted to pay homage to her grandmother through her company, the news outlet writes. The products that she sells are inspired by her grandmother’s recipes that were passed down through different generations in her family for over a century. Stepping into entrepreneurship was no easy feat for Riley. Like many Black founders she struggled with securing funding for her business. The lack of financial support didn’t deter Riley from making Mama Biscuits a success. She continued her passion for cooking and as word spread about how delicious her biscuits were, she built a demand. Her company is the country’s first gourmet biscuit baking company in the DMV area. “I want to give my customers and future customers the gift of eating our Artisan sweet, savory, gluten-free gourmet biscuits. I ship them all over the United States and would love for each household to experience them,” said Riley in a statement. “I never take anything for granted. No matter what opportunities come your way always remain humble. Opportunities aren’t given to everyone.” Riley also uses her company as an avenue for social good. She donates biscuits to local food pantries that serve the homeless and plans on launching a culinary education program for youth. Riley is slated to appear on In the Kitchen with David on QVC on March 17.
