Source: Kathy Boos / Bravo TV Buffie Says Dr. Jackie Maliciously Made Light Of Her Fertility Issues A “Married To Medicine” newbie is calling out one of the cast OGs. Buffie Purselle who was seen on the new season alongside her good friend Joseline Herandez is putting Dr. Jackie Walters on blast. On the next episode of “Married To Medicine” Buffie will be seen looking on in horror as Dr. Jackie Walters lets a crowded room know that Buffie was “infertile.” According to Jackie she and Buffie can relate on that level because she’s had fertility issues following bouts with breast cancer. “4 years ago, I got breast cancer, said Dr. Jackie. “And the thing that we grow up, most of us wanting to do, you can’t do. And Buffie, you can relate. You’re infertile.” According to Buffie, the moment was intentional and malicious. She also corrected Dr. Jackie and said that she’s not infertile and has actually been pregnant multiple times but suffered miscarriages. “This was one of the most humiliating and painful moments in my life. I am proud that I was able to rise above my pain and embarrassment and conduct myself as the lady that my Mother and Grandmother raised me to be. When you first meet someone and they see that you are happily married they ask the inevitable question “do you have kids?” I always answer no. No – period. Then SOME people ask “why NOT” as if my husband I have done something wrong. I am then forced to explain my many failed attempts at motherhood. This is the level of discussion that Dr. Walters and I had regarding my CHALLENGES with fertility. To call another woman infertile is cruel. That word doesn’t begin to describe the type of person that I am. The clinical definition is that you are unable to GET pregnant. Well, I can and have gotten pregnant many times. I was just unable to carry my babies to full term. Additionally, it means that you bear no fruit. Well, I like to think that I have been a productive member of society and that my mark will be left through philanthropy. I believe that Dr. Walters said this with malicious intent because she could have said many other things about me if she truly wanted to relate to me. We are both successful businesswomen, we are both extremely organized, we both do a lot of charity work, the list goes on and on but she settled on this. And to date, she has NEVER offered me a sincere apology. I don’t want an apology from her anyway because she doesn’t think that she did anything wrong. A mouse has more emotional intelligence. For all of the people saying this is some sort of editing trick – sadly it’s not, it happened, and being forced to relive it on television and social media hasn’t been fun. Thank you to everyone for the positive words of encouragement. The kindness of strangers will never cease to amaze me. I’m fine. I’m tougher than I seem and this too shall pass.

Source: Peopleimages / Getty As a celebrity makeup artist, I’ve been asked quite often how frequently one should wash their personal makeup brushes. My response is always the same: Wash your brushes as frequently as you wash your pillow cases . However, how to wash them however, wasn’t always an easy reply. In the beginning, I remember attempting to wash my brushes with the same bar of soap that I used to wash my body. For me, it’s Dove ($6.19, target.com ). Since the product worked so well on my skin and kept me clean, surely it would break down the build-up on my brushes. Right? I tried this a couple times and found myself in the bathroom for far too long. Rinse after rinse it took too many tries to get my dingy brushes like new again. After a couple of tries, I realized that I was just going to have to use something stronger. The next best thing would be dish soap. That worked like a charm and got my dirty white brushes white again, but then I noticed them slowly loosing bristles over time. It was obvious to me that the dish soap was drying out the hair of my brushes. I’d spent a lot of money on those suckers and needed them to hold up! Not to mention, my Beauty Blender sponges ($20.00, macys.com ) that were $20 a pop STILL wouldn’t get cleaned by anything other than the official soap that the company makes. Those bars of soap ($16.00, ulta.com ) cleaned my brushes and blenders marvelously but they were not affordable, especially for how fast I was moving through the product. Thus, I like many other girls just gave up washing my brushes as often as I should. Oh come on! Don’t act like you haven’t gone a month or longer without washing your brushes! It’s easy to do when you realize how time consuming it can be and how costly it is to purchase soaps that are meant to wash the hairs of your brushes. Once I became a working makeup artist I gathered up a collection of brushes meant only for clients and realized that I’d have to come up with a solution for cleaning my brushes. I’d be using them on multiple faces and needed them to be clean for each use for sanitary purposes. After some trial and error I narrowed it down to baby shampoo ($4.99, target.com ) for my brushes and the official Beauty Blender bar of soap ($16.00, ulta.com ) for my Beauty Blender ($20.00, macys.com ). The baby soap was strong enough to get my brushes clean but not too strong that it would dry them out. Still, it took a few washings before I could get them to be REALLY clean. One day I was traveling with a client. I had been working with this particular celebrity for some time and I was in and out of hotels with her. I realized after a long day on set that I’d run out of my bar of soap to wash my Beauty Blenders. It was late and Sephora wasn’t open so I used my only option…the bar of soap provided by the hotel. Within seconds of working up a good lather I realized that this bar of soap was cleaning the hell outta that sponge better than the official bar of soap! I grabbed a white bristled brush and tried using the soap on it. In seconds the brush was back to white! SECONDS! With my baby shampoo it took a few washings! The next morning I approached a maintenance worker and asked for more soap for my room. She gave me one bar. “Do you think you could spare any more of them?”. By the end of my stay I’d racked up at least 10 bars. It wasn’t long before I realized that it wasn’t just that hotel’s soap that cleaned my brushes and sponges. It was ALL hotel soap. So why would hotel soap work but not my Dove soap?! Simply put, because its cheap. Cheap soap cleans brushes and sponges best. I put this theory to the test by going to the drug store and purchasing the least expensive bar of soap they offered: Dial soap at .99 cents a bar. Now, all of these years later, that is my go-to product to clean my brushes and my sponges. The best part? Dial soap ($1.99, target.com ) is antibacterial too. WIN WIN! The only down side is that it is somewhat drying. I counteract this conditioning my real hair brushes every now and again. It’s real hair so you can condition it! Pamper your brushes from time to time so they can keep pampering you!

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz When Love & Hip Hop: New York returns for its 10th season, fans will see some familiar faces from previous seasons. Page Six is reporting that OG cast members, Jim Jones and his forever fiancée, Chriss Lampkin will be back on VH1’s hit reality show. Mona Scott-Young is hoping Jones and Lampkin who haven’t been on the famed franchise since season 1 and 2 can restore the feeling fans claim is missing since the show first premiered. They are not the only ones returning, Tahiry Jose, who is the ex-girlfriend of returning cast member, Joe Budden will also be on board and contributing to the drama the gossip column reports. Joe is currently single after proposing to Cyn Santana last season. So we expect some sort of storyline involving all three of them. Along with those names, fans can look forward to the return of Safaree Samuels, his very pregnant wife Erica Mena-Samuels, Remy Ma, and her husband, Papoose. Kimbella, who famously got hands and feet put on her literally by Chrissy Lampkin in the reality show franchise’s inaugural season, will be back. It will be interesting to see how that dynamic plays out between the both of them in the 10th season. Kimbella is also dealing with the fallout of her husband, Juelz Satana, being locked up plus news broke recently about the foreclosure of the couples New Jersey $650K condo . Ironically Jim Jones and Lampkin also saw their NJ home seized by the bank as well. Rich Dollaz, who also has been in the news for missing child support payments , will be back as well as Cam’ron’s ex JuJu, Yandy Smith, and makeup artist Jonathon Fernandez. After years of being labeled the lackluster show of the Love & Hip Hop franchise, it looks like season 10 of LHHNY could bring it back to its glory. We are patiently awaiting that super trailer to give us a preview of the mess, and we know it’s not too far from dropping. — Photo: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz
This Just In: Farrah Abraham is a really awful person who thinks only of herself at all times. Okay, fine. Perhaps that isn’t exactly a piece of breaking news. But still: it’s worth repeating now because someone who has interacted with the former Teen Mom star has once again confirmede verything we’ve read and heard about Abraham. Appearing as a recent guest on the Domenick Nati Show, Kailyn was asked which Teen Mom cast member — present or past — rubs her the wrong way. Who does Lowry just hate the most, basically? “My least favorite cast member? I would say is Farrah,” she responded. This is not exactly stunning, of course. Last summer, Lowry scoffed at the notion of Farrah headlining an anti-bullying campaign, something Abraham had actually been tapped to do when she agreed to an exhibition boxing match. “I think there are much better influencers,” Kailyn said back then in a rather epic understatement. She later said she wanted to flat-out fight Abraham , although no match ever materialized between the pair. Asked what it is about Abraham that prompted Lowry to label her as the absolute worst, Kailyn said in this new interview: “Anytime I’ve been around Farrah she just doesn’t treat people like human beings. She treats them like they’re below her,” Lowry said, adding: “And that’s not really something… I don’t want to surround myself with people like that.” Hard to argue with that logic, isn’t it? Lowry’s pointed jabs at Farrah comes amid the news that another Teen Mom alum, Jenelle Evans, is divorcing her husband, David Eason. This is a hot topic that both Abraham and Lowry have weighed in on recently. “If she’s truly in the right mindset and is on a journey to find health and happiness, she could teach people a lot,” Lowry said on social media of Evans, expounding on her occasional rival as follows: “One could only hope that this is all true. “Despite our differences, her and her kids safety has always been a concern of mine, and now I’m not as worried hearing the latest news.” Sounds pretty fair and balanced of Kailyn, doesn’t it? Abraham, on the other hand, isn’t feeling nearly as generous when it comes to Evans and Eason. She seems to question Jenelle’s motives for the split, taking the cynical approach that Jenelle is only making this decision to further her career. “I just feel like it’s a way to just go back on TV, and I think more like myself and others, who just want better crews, better circumstances for her kids, beyond just going back to television,” Farrah told late last week. Concluded Farrah in her dissing of Jenelle: “I don’t know. Will things change when she gets a divorce just to go back on TV? “I’m just worried about her real intentions. Is it for her safety, her health, everyone’s well-being, or is it just get back on TV?” Like Kailyn just spent some time detailing, right? FARRAH IS THE WORST.

As previously documented, Christine Brown has lost a lot of weight. But someone very close to the long-time Sister Wives star is now hoping Christine loses something else in the near future: Her wedding ring. And the commitment that comes along with it. The veteran TLC personality, who rarely shares photo with spiritual husband Kody, is the subject of a new interview between Radar Online and Kristyn Decker. The latter is both Christine’s aunt and also the author of Fifty Years in Polygamy: Big Secrets and Little White Lies . She’s someone who grew up in polygamy, only to finally escape 33 years after she married her first husband. In other words: This is not some random critic of Christine, Kody and their unusual lifestyle… … this is someone who can speak from personal experience. Now that she’s happily in a monogamous marriage, Decker is calling on her estranged niece to do the same. “I was still in polygamy when Christine joined,” Decker tells Radar of watching her relative become a Sister Wife. “She looked happy. I thought, ‘She’s crazy about Kody, so go for it!’ Even as a believer, I wanted to privately to go tell them to run. I knew how crazy and insane it was. “You don’t know what you’re getting into. I wish I would’ve warned people.” Many observers have offered similar critiques for Christine and the three other women who shares Kody as a husband. But almost none of them have known the life of polygamy in the way Decker has, which is why her words are garnering national attentoon. “It’s a miserable-happy life,” she explains in this article. Meaning what, exactly? “The Browns are miserable-happy,” she says, elaborating as follows: They’re miserable on the inside. I don’t think any of them know what genuine happiness and freedom is. I thought I was happy. I thought life was great and I was serving God. “I was happy serving God, but miserable doing it. The more you sacrifice, the better your blessings will be in heaven.” Decker actually has appeared on Sister Wives. Her name or face may be familiar to long-time viewers. But she tells Radar that she and Christine never really talk, mostly due to Decker’s critical nature of her niece’s arrangement. Why does she think Brown can’t see clearly? Why isn’t Christine getting the heck out of there? Because she makes most of her income off the program and would be in financial trouble if she left. It’s a tragic and vicious and emotionally-damaging cycle. Kristyn went on to tell Radar how the Brown family belongs to is called the AUB, which stands for Apostolic United Brethren. She said that while physical abuse is common, it is “not as common as emotional and mental abuse.” “Polygamy is a system of abuse overall,” she says. “Mental, emotional, and spiritual. The groups believe their leaders are the right ones and the others are wrong. Overall, polygamy is a system that’s harmful to men, women, children and society. “You will live in polygamy and the women will be submissive. The women must let the men have other wives or they’ll go to hell.” Sounds about right, doesn’t it? Helps explain why Meri Brown always sounds so sad, doesn’t it ? Kody married first wife Meri in 1990. Second wife Janelle joined the family in 1993. Christine married Kody in 1994. Then, Robyn joined the family in 2010. These two legally married in 2014 — meaning Kody had to divorce Meri — so he could adopt Robyn’s children from a previous marriage. In the family’s tell-all memoir, Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage , Christine opened up about the ups and downs in their marriage. She admitted that Kody’s marriage to Robyn really took its toll on her. “When Kody started courting and then married Robyn it really rocked me. I gave birth to Truely and was suffering from extreme postpartum depression,” wrote Christine, adding: “I’d never thought I’d feel such a sense of loss and such crippling jealousy. I thought I was better and stronger than that, I really did.” Don’t blame yourself, Christine. Just get the heck out of there — NOW.

Throughout Jersey Shore ‘s original run, Jenni Farley did her best to steer clear of the drama. Sure, she might step in and casually cold-cock someone when the situation calls for it, but for the most part, JWoww preferred to quietly collect her MTV checks and leave the overwrought displays of emotion to her co-stars. But as we all know, sometimes drama finds you, and Jenni’s life has been loaded with conflict in recent months. The latest dust-up involves Farley’s boyfriend, Zach Carpinello, and his decision to grope Angelina Pivarnick , while a drunken Jenni slept mere inches away. Farley dumped Carpinello when she first saw the footage (captured by Jersey Shore cameras), but now they’re back together, and it’s a whole mess. But before that debacle, Jenni was dealing with even more intense drama as a result of her divorce from Roger Mathews . What initially appeared to be an amicable split has devolved into a nightmare of a protracted divorce, complete with revelations that Roger was abusive to Jenni during the final months of their marriage. Unable to keep the drama off camera any longer, Jenni opened up about these struggles during a recent episode of Shore . “We were talking about regrets earlier, and I’ve been thinking about the biggest one,” she said to Snooki, who promptyl blurted out, “Roger. He’s the f–king worst. But you always knew it wasn’t right.” “Yup,” JWoww replied. Jenni put a positive spin on the situation, noting that if it weren’t for her time with Roger, she wouldn’t have her two kids. “They’re my bliss,” she said, “as I’m suffering.” “I’m going through it with the divorce,” she later added in a later confessional segment. “It’s been like almost a year since I filed. When you get a divorce, you’re supposed to be celebrating and like start a new chapter, but it’s really heartbreaking,” Jenni said. “And it’s stressful, the up-and-down battle of figuring out custody issues. I just don’t know when it gets better. It’s more than exhausting; it can like mentally break someone. I just want peace.” Understandably upset at being called “the worst” on national TV, Roger responded in a statement issued to Us Weekly : “You don’t spend almost a decade of your life with only one person then just never care about them again,” he said. “You can act like you do but you’re probably lying,” Mathews added. “Hatred spawns from love.” To be fair, Jenni never actually said that she hated Roger, but it’s not hard to see how he might have surmised such animosity on the basis of her comments. But while we can see why Roger might be offended, he really doesn’t have any right to be. The best thing he could do at this point is take a tip from old-school JWoww and just take a seat on the sidelines while the drama unfolds.
