On this side of the pond, few public figures are as popular and well-liked as Meghan Markle. But for reasons that defy explanation, many Brits don’t share our objectively-correct positive opinion of the former Suits star, Last month, a documentary about Meghan and Prince Harry’s trip to Africa made its television debut and offered a far more intmate look into the lives of the Royals than the public is accustomed to receiving. The doc came on the heels of Harry’s lawsuit against a handful of British media outlets whom he accused of bullying Meghan in their coverage. Brits and Americans reacted very differently to these developments. In the US, the couple was widely praised for their efforts to curb the more slanderous tendencies of the infamous British tabloid press. And while many, many UK citizens expressed their support for Meghan — including female members of parliament who did so with an open letter addressed to the Duchess — she was also received a fair amount of flak from prominent public figures who accused her of conduct unbecoming a royal. Some of these critics are easily dismissed — after all Piers Morgan attacks Megha n every chance he gets, seemingly because they had a drink together like a decade ago, and he thought they were gonna get married. But some of them have real clout and when they speak, and their opinions can’t be ignored. And it seems Queen Elizabeth II might be the most prominent of the Meghan skeptics. To be clear, the Queen has not breathed a word against Meghan publicly. In fact, she’s kept mum (Queen mum, if you will) about the Sussexes conflict with the media, as well as their unexpectedly candid documentary interviews. Nothing unusual there, as the Queen typically remains tight-lipped about family matters. But some royal watchers have suggested that when she looks at the events of 2019, the Queen sees Kate Middleton as a paragon of royal values, and she believes that Meghan could learn from Kate’s example. “The Queen is a fan,” a source close to the situation tells Vanity Fair. “Kate is unflappable. Her mantra is very like the Queen’s keep calm and carry on approach in life, and she has the added benefit of making the Royal Family seem almost normal and in touch.” Yes, unflappability is big in the Queen’s book. When Meghan remarked on the “stiff upper lip” mentality that’s so prized among the royals, many suspected she was subtly rebuffing instruction or advice she had received from her in-laws. We may never know if that’s true, but we do know that the Queen is not big on public displays of emotion. And when it comes to keeping a tight lid on her feelings, Kate has Meghan beat. Of course, Kate is British, and prior to becoming a duchess, she spent several years in close association with the royals as William’s girlfriend. She was groomed for this life in a way that Meghan simply wasn’t. But apparently, the Queen feels that Kate has Meghan bested in another area, as well. According to insiders, QE2 feels that Kate is more in touch with the common folk than Meghan, which comes as a surprise. After all, early in her relationship with Harry, Meg’s commoner status — Hollywoodn couldn’t get much further from Buckingham Palace, culturally or geographically — was often cited as the thing that made stodgy royal traditionalists most nervous. But these days, the Queen feels that her family has a public image issue — and she sees Kate as the person who can best demonstrate to her fellow Brits that the royals are people, too. “It feels very much like this has been Kate’s year,” biographer Claudia Joseph tells Vanity Fair. “She looks happy, in control and there’s a new confidence about her. I think Kate seems much happier than a year ago,” Josaph adds. “She has three lovely children, has been honored by the Queen for her hard work and is really well liked not just here but around the world.” Joseph says many of Kate’s recent activities — such as drinking in a pub with some of the parents of her kids’ classmates — have endeared her to a public that’s increasingly wary of the Royals. Sounds like Meghan might have some work to do in regaining the Queen’s favor — fortunately, that work seems to involve sipping pints with the locals, so we imagine she’s up to the task.

Last week, the world learned the real, sinister reason Sean Spicer is still on Dancing With The Stars despite his abysmal dancing. Fans and judges alike are frustrated that the season has been effectively rigged when other, talented dancers have gone home. But one extremely talented dancer, former Bachelorette Hannah Brown, is actually defending the polarizing politician. Hannah Brown spoke to Us Weekly about her weakest competitor, Sean Spicer. “I think everybody works really hard,” Hannah characterizes. Oh, she’s being very diplomatic. She accurately describes: “and the fans vote for who they want to be in the competition.” Sticking to facts, Hannah adds: “and that is how this is going to go.” “We all just have to continue to work hard and do our best,” Hannah expresses. “And,” she adds. “I don’t think Sean is any different than that.” “I think he is working hard and doing his best as well,” Hannah politely says. We’re sure that he’s doing his best. it’s just that his best, you know, sucks. Fans and viewers have been left scratching their heads for weeks now. How in the world did Sean Spicer manage to stay afloat for so many episodes? Things came to a head on November 4, when one of the season’s most promising dancers, Kate Flannery, was eliminated. It was enough for Carrie Ann Inaba to say: “I’m absolutely confused and in fact a little irritated.” “It’s frustrating,” Inaba expressed. She continued: “There are really great dancers being sent home, but that is part of our show.” “It’s always been the audience and the judges’ perspective,” Inaba acknowledged. She admitted: “I can’t be so mad at it, but it’s frustrating” “I would like to beg the public to remember that this is a dance competition,” Inaba expressed. “Of course, vote with your heart,” she added. Inaba then suggested: “But also take a moment to consider everybody else in the competition.” She concluded: “And are you voting for the right person?” Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli had similar feelings. “They have to vote [and] make the vote based on actual achievement,” he said. “Know what people are giving to you within the competition,” Tonioli suggested. “‘Oh, he’s so nice, he’s just such a nice person.’ Well, yeah, I agree,” he said. “But come on.” Len Goodman chimed in and spoke about Sean Spicer directly. “He’s very popular with a certain element of the viewers, not the real dance fans,” Goodman correctly stated. He added: “You haven’t got to be a weatherman to see which way the wind blows.” “He should have gone three weeks ago before Sailor [Brinkley-Cook] went!” Goodman acknowledged. “But it is what it is.” He concluded: “The judges say this and the viewers say that and then it all comes out as it is.” Is Sean Spicer a good dancer? No. But is he a good person who deserves his time in the carefree spotlight of a dancing competition? Also no. Sean Spicer is a bad person who used his career to help a criminal administration harm the strength and reputation of the United States of America. He should never have been given this opportunity. ABC created this situation for publicity and now they’re reaping the resulting disaster. View Slideshow: Dancing With the Stars: Who Will Win Season 28?
We’re not crying, okay? YOU’RE the ones who are crying. Okay, fine, perhaps we can all just admit to the production of many tears, considering the amazing news that has now been confirmed about Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson: They are first-time parents! “After a long and difficult labor, our girl arrived,” the famous couple revealed to Us Weekly on Monday afternoon. They added in this special exclusive: “When we finally got to see and hold our precious Bella Milagro all the pain instantly went away. “We can’t believe she is ours – she is so perfect!” “She definitely has lived up to her name which means, ‘beautiful miracle.’ Today we are basking in God’s goodness!” In a subsequent Instagram post, Lauren and Josiah announced the news themselves, informing followers of their newborn’s full name, along with her date and time of birth: Look who’s here! Bella Milagro Duggar was born November 8th, 2019 at 4:24 pm, weighing 6lbs 5oz and 18.5 inches long. Our hearts are so full! We are so thankful for God blessings us with such a healthy baby girl! Oh, and they included this photo! Yup. She’s perfect. The little one came into this world at 6 pounds and 5 ounces, measuring 18.5 inches in length. Her arrivial would be a miracle and a blessing under any circumstance, of course. But the Counting On stars suffered a tragic miscarriage late last year. “A couple months ago, we found out that we were expecting, but suddenly thereafter, we lost our baby,” Lauren said in a clip posted by TLC in February 2019. Said Josh in this same piece of heartbreaking footage: “It really was a hard time for our family going through this right after we got married. And all the dreams of getting to see our little one and hold it in our hands dashed before our eyes.” The pair said they to tell their story because “nobody really talks about it,” Lauren explained. “We just wanted to let y’all know that you’re not alone.” Simply devastating. In May, though, the reality stars took fans by tremendous surprise when they announced Lauren was pregnant for the second time. “We are so excited to announce that baby No. 2 is on the way!!!!” they shared on Instagram, adding at the time: “It’s hard to fully express just how grateful we are for God blessing us again with another precious gift! “So, as we rejoice of the life of our second sweet baby, we also remember our other sweet baby, Asa, in heaven.” “God is so incredibly good!” As recently as October 10, Josiah and Lauren were still paying tribute to the child they lost and to all the other children that have been lost in this heartbreaking manner. “Sending love this month to any parent who has lost a baby,” they wrote on Instagram, continuing as follows: “Losing a little life at any stage is heartbreaking and devastating and should not go unnoticed.” “For all you mamas, yes, even you mamas who’s arms have never had the chance to hold your babies-you’re a Mama! Remember, that you are loved. “You are a warrior. You are not alone. You are not forgotten.” The TLC personalities, who got married in July of 2018, aren’t the only Duggars to have welcomed a baby girl this year. Try to follow along here, but… Jessa Seewald (née Duggar) gave birth to her and Ben Seewald’s first daughter, Ivy, in May. This event was followed by Kendra Duggar‘s baby girl on November 2. And then, in literal related news, Abbie Duggar (née Burnett) and Anna Duggar (née Keller) are both currently pregnant with girls. “It’s definitely brought us closer, just to share the same feelings,” Lauren told Us Weekly back in October of sharing this experience – harrowing as it was – with her sisters-in-law. She added: “[There’s] sympathy. You have that pregnancy brain where you forget things, so [we] remind each other, ‘Oh, yeah, I need to do this before my baby comes.’ … It’s very special.

Since then she has stayed in the spotlight appearing on Time Squares billboards, soap operas, and even won Playmate of the Year. Type ‘Eugena Washington 2016’ into Google and you’ll find them: Crisp images of a Brown skinned beauty beaming beside one of the most controversial figures in American history, flanked by others of her striking a sexy pose beside a cream convertible quickly fill up the white space. With shining skin and radiant, raven hued hair, she is confident, she is beautiful, she is Playmate of the Year. She is also deeply unhappy. “ The thing about modeling is that it’s completely superficial,” she told Hello Beautifu l in an exclusive Interview. “It’s the only job the only career that’s completely superficial based on what you look like. Based on what you look like, they can tell you yes or no. With that being said you can be the most perfect, the most amazing, you can be at your very best and then you’ll get ‘Nos’ all around just because.” Source: Photo by Phillip Faraone/WireImage / Photo by Phillip Faraone/WireImage She admitted that the constant rejection and the “toxic” culture upheld by less than ethical people impacted her greatly. “When I first started modeling I told myself that I would only do this until it made me feel bad about myself, like I didn’t want to do it if it was going to be something that was going to lower my self-esteem, lower my self-worth, and make me feel bad about myself you know, and ultimately start making you hate yourself. As I went on modeling it slowly started to do that.” The only solution to feeling like the industry was in control of her self-worth was proving to herself that she was strong enough to walk away from it. Source: Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Playboy “I took about a year off in 2017 to really just reconnect with myself and silence all the noise. I really had to stop and take some time off and recover myself and decide to decide that I’m great regardless. Like that’s the choice that you have to make. So for me now, it’s about knowing who I am, getting in touch with who I am, and deciding that I am amazing regardless of what anybody thinks.” Modeling afforded Washington many opportunities including the chance to travel to Barcelona and Cape Town, which she described as “the most majestic place I have ever been to in my life,” but she wasn’t prepared to make her entire life about the profession. Washington opted to return to the modeling industry but on terms that satisfied her ambitions beyond the runway. View this post on Instagram It’s finally Spring….Relax and allow yourself to bloom @kevingoolsby A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on May 25, 2019 at 12:20pm PDT “ I definitely want to get married and have a family . For a long time I felt that I couldn’t do that because you’ll gain weight and it will be hard to match your measurements.” Nevertheless, the industry is changing. Model Chanel Iman has had a child and a successful career while Slick Woods literally went into labor while backstage at the Fenty x Savage show in 2019 . Models as moms are becoming more of a norm and less of a phenomenon or sign of a career ending. “When I realized that I have control of my life and I can decide what I want and everything will fall into place anyway, I gave myself permission to have those dreams and goals outside of my profession,” Washington shared. The joy in her voice is evident as she speaks about the possibilities of living without restriction. “ I just want to have fun! I want to have a fun life outside of business all the time and working and obligations.” View this post on Instagram @danessa_myricks is legendary and you’re blessed if she touches your face. ThankYou LoveYou A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on Oct 10, 2018 at 7:50am PDT She chose to work with people that fit her career and personal goals instead of contorting herself into the industry mold. “I chose them because they work with me, they believe in me and that they push me and that’s what it takes to be successful somebody who believes in you and pushes you and wants to work with you. Like all the names and hype and stuff, you could be sitting IMG’s board and not doing shit because they don’t believe in you.” She was selective when she opted to step back in front of the camera. “I’ve been modeling ever since the show, I’ve been through so many agencies girl it’s just about who works for you and who works with you. Each agency looks for something different and if we’re honest we’re just dealing with people,” she added. “I had to work that out too and it took me a while to learn that because I thought it was about the name, if I get with this name and that name then I’ll…but no! People can shelve you. I’ve been shelved but I’ve also been pushed.” View this post on Instagram Mmmmhmmm… Mua: @jordanliberty Photo: @juliakuzmenko A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on Jul 14, 2018 at 11:28am PDT She is careful about the kind of people that she allows in her space duly protective of the peace that accompanies her evolved perspective at work and at play. “I learned I had a lot of toxic people around me and I didn’t know how. I was just like trying to heal and save everybody and trying to be nice.” Being socialized to be the “nice girl” had consequences when she found it difficult to speak up for herself or even be honest with herself. She said she had to learn to say “I don’t like this” or “This doesn’t make me feel good”. It was tough for her “saying how I feel and being okay with saying how I feel and being okay with my anger and being okay with someone not liking me and using my power and my strength.” View this post on Instagram I think it's gone be shoulders all summer @louieaguila @iamkevinwade @queenwink A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on May 26, 2018 at 12:34pm PDT “My mom was always like ‘Just be a nice person,’ I was just trying to be a nice person, I thought that’s all you had to do. So I didn’t really have my guard up.” That guard stands tall now, “I had to stop being nice. That’s the journey I’m on right now, developing my inner bitch because people will be like ‘Oh you’re so pretty, I can just disrespect you and treat you like you ain’t shit and treat you like you’re dumb and you’re just a pretty model.’ And I would just internalize like ‘You know what? This person is hurting so let me just internalize that.’ No. I don’t have to take anything! How dare you talk to me crazy ’cause you’re a nobody. No one’s above me and I had to realize that. I had to take control of my life I had to boss up and find my inner bitch.” Evidence that her belief in herself stands strong can be found in her willingness to come out of her comfort zone. She has started developing a haircare line and a podcast . “That was a way for me to establish myself in a different way where I wasn’t just basically relying on how I look because that also gets old. You know? There other parts of me! I have other talents and there other ambitions.” Today, she is proud to say, “I get my self worth from other places.” View this post on Instagram Everything you've ever wanted is yours.

She said she plans to, “ Empty my best self out to the world.” “It helps me heal by helping other people heal because when I’m talking to you about what I’ve learned I’m also getting more downloads and answers.” She wants to offer support, “ Because I didn’t have it,” and says she relates to the conversations on social media about the perils of being “the strong friend.” “It was hard because I’ve been through a lot of shit. You know when you just go through one thing after another? I had to take my way through and not be taken over. I was in an abusive relationship. I had an abortion when I was in my early twenties. So in those situations I didn’t have the guidance to help me navigate through those situations I had to just use my common sense and consider how to move forward in the best way possible. I was kind of overwhelmed so I had to take some time off and kind of heal some things in myself. And in that time of healing it was like I’ve figured out these things I’ve rectified them for myself and I’m not ashamed of them so I might as well talk about them.” View this post on Instagram October, you so pretty…. A post shared by EUGENA (@eugenawashington) on Oct 1, 2019 at 8:57am PDT She isn’t afraid of some of the backlash that public figures have gotten for being raw about their feelings and emotions. “I’ve always felt like if people are watching me you might as well give them a show and if you give them a show then that means you’re in charge of the narrative, and I’m not a shy person either. I feel like if you tell somebody your business they can’t come back and throw it in your face because you already told them what it was so that’s kind of what it is for me.” After years of using her looks she is excited about what will happen when she opens her mouth. “Instead of hiding away from the things that I’ve been through and learned from and overcame I stood out in front of them because its my story regardless.” DON’T MISS: MODEL MONDAY: Cheyenne Maya-Carty Skated Into Her Dreams MODEL MONDAY: Nyakim Gatwech Is A Model With A Message For Black Girls MODEL MONDAY: Nicque Marina Went From The Air Force To Fashion Week By Following MadameNoire [ione_media_gallery src=”https://hellobeautiful.com” id=”3063794″ overlay=”true”]
Tori Roloff has over one million followers on Instagram for a handful of reasons. She’s relatable, for starters. She often shares pictures of her adorable son, for another thing. And she also posts very often; whether she’s providing pregnancy updates, sending positive message out into the world or simply uploading cute family snapshots. It’s rare that a day goes by without fans hearing from this Little People, Big World star. But that’s the thing; Many days have now gone by. Tori has not shared anything new on her Instagram page since October 27, which is when she posted the following picture and wrote as a caption: My love of Disney continues. So fun taking Jackson to @disneyonice tonight! It’s becoming a tradition and we were so excited (and thankful because there’s no way I could have done it myself) that grandma was able to join us this time!! Thank you Disney! Classic Tori, you know? It’s very un classic Tori to go well over a week between status updates, however, which is why many fans are now wondering: Might she have given birth already?!? Tori and husband Zach — who posts less frequently, but who has also been social media silent since October 1 — are expecting a baby girl this month. It’s been our understanding that Tori isn’t due until close to Thanksgiving, but it’s very possibly she went into labor early and is now taking some well-deserved time by herself with her brand new addition. Please keep in mind: This is mere speculation — but it wouldn’t be all that early if Roloff really has had the baby already. We obviously just hope mother and newborn are doing okay if this hypothetsis proves to be accurate, Earlier this week, Amy Roloff accidentally revealed that Tori and Zach would be welcoming a dwarf , confirming will “have the same type of dwarfism as her dad Zachary and brother Jackson” in a since-deleted Facebook video. Tori, for her part, had been consistently keeping followers apprised of how she was doing and feeling. Which, again, is why we find this ongoing silence so noteworthy. “The last few days have really been a struggle for me. This last stage of pregnancy has hit me hard. I get so frustrated not being able to do things on my own,” Tori wrote about five weeks ago, adding at the time: “I carried 6 towels up the stairs this morning to do some laundry and have been winded ever since. I’ve never been good at asking for help and these days that’s all I ever do.” Like we said above: Tori is nothing if not relatable. We’re sure millions of pregnant women have felt this same way. Concluded Roloff in that post: I know this is a time to be selfish and slow down but it’s so hard to sit around while my husband works and my 2 year old wants attention. I constantly feel serious FOMO. I know it’s all worth it and I’m doing such an important job but I can’t wait to tie my shoes on my own again. We continue to send our very best wishes to Tori and her entire family. View Slideshow: Tori and Zach Roloff: Secrets of the Little People, Big World Stars’ Private Lives
Raymond Santana and Deelishis are moving in the direction of a celebrity romance according to a love fest of Instagram posts between the two.

Jade Cline is still relatively new to the world of Teen Mom stardom. After starring in a single season of Teen Mom: Young and Pregnant, Cline was selected to replace Jenelle Evans on Teen Mom 2 after Evans was finally fired. So while, she’s been in the spotlight for a couple years, Jade just experienced a major boost to her public profile. Going from a first-year spinoff to a popular, long-running series like Teen Mom 2 is like being called up to the majors. As a result, Jade is making more money, and she’s more popular than ever on social media. That may sound like an unimportant side effect of fame, but the increased following brings with it the opportunity to make big bucks from sponsored content. Unfortunately, it also means Jade has more haters than ever before. And these days, she’s being compared to one of the most reviled Teen Moms of all time — Farrah Abraham. During her time on Teen Mom OG, Farrah continued to perform in online sex shows , a decision that eventually got her fired from the show. (In reality, she was probably canned because producers were sick of being abused by her, but the Cam Soda partnership provided a convenient excuse.) Now, Jade is being accused of following in Farrah’s footsteps by partnering with an adult toy company. On Thursday, Cline invited her fans to enter a giveaway for a chance to win three free vibrators. “Hey guys! I’ll be partnering with [Vush] this week to put together an amazing giveaway bundle to one of my followers! Stay tuned! Will be posting the giveaway and how to enter this week on my page,” Cline later offered specifics — along with the photo below, in which she can be seen showing off Vush’s wares. “3x Vibrator bundles from Vush to 3 lucky people in the comment section,” Jade wrote. “Each bundle includes The Empress, Your Majesty and The Rose! ($400 value per bundle).” For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, this promotion left some of Jade’s followers deeply irritated. “The next Farrah,” wrote one commenter. “I actually thought u were one of the good moms…” another remarked. “Wtf! Another Farrah in the making!” another echoed. “Y’all really have to come up with better insults,” Cline replied. She’s right about that. For one, there’s a major difference between what Farrah did (making a career in the adult film business and falsely claiming that her debut feature was a privately-filmed “sex tape”) and what Jade is doing — which is just a slight variation on what most reality stars do on their social media pages. From the start, Jade was upfront about the whole thing. Rather than attempt to Trojan Horse in ad into what appears to be a regular post, she stated at the outset that she’s promoting products for Vush. There’s no sneakiness involved, so is it really just the nature of the products that has people pissed off? WTF? Is Jade starring on Teen Mom 2 or Counting On? Fortunately, Cline has received a good deal of support from fans who aren’t embarrassing prudes. “People act like they have never seen a sex toy before,” one fan remarked. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves. View Slideshow: Jade Cline vs. Ashley Jones: Brawl Breaks Out at Teen Mom 2 Reunion!
While some fans were uneasy after seeing Paola Mayfield’s behavior on 90 Day Fiance this year, she still has countless followers. And she has an amazing announcement to make about her beloved niece. Her Columbian niece, who has Down Syndrome, is now cancer-free after a two-year battle with leukemia! Paola Mayfield took to Instagram this week to make a very special announcement. “Last year I went to Colombia when I was pregnant,” her caption begins, explaining why she appears pregnant in the accompanying photo. She explained: “I needed to see my sister and my niece.” “My niece has Down Syndrome,” Paola notes, “and had been battling leukemia for about 2 years.” Here is the photo. Paola’s young neice is adorable! “But TODAY we received the greatest news!” Paola proclaims. She writes: “She is finally cancer free!” Childhood leukemia is a true horror and we are so, so pleased to hear this! “With tears in my eyes,” Paola’s heartfelt caption continues, “I feel full of joy and happiness.” She very well should! Paola explains that this is such a relief “because I know how hard it has been the past few years for my sister.” We have a sneaking suspicion that this was no cakewalk for her niece, either. “For those who battle everyday to have another day of life,” Paola advises. “Stay strong and don’t lose faith.” The beloved reality star then adds a string of red hear emojis. Paola concludes her post by writing: “Thank you.” For some reason — possibly fearing that trolls have no qualms and consider no subject to be sacred — Pao has deactivated replies to the post. Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomy 21, and it means that there are three twenty-first chromosomes instead of the usual pairing. This mutation, usually detectable before birth, can cause cognitive delays along with a series of tell-tale traits. Individuals with Down Syndrome can lead fulfilling lives, complete their education, and overcome stigma. However, some babies with Down Syndrome require major heart surgery within days of birth. Others simply die. Thinking about it, Paola’s niece battling leukemia may have been a factor, combined with Pao’s previous miscarriage, behind her behavior early this year. As fans of 90 Day Fiance may recall, she was weirdly possessive of baby Axel after his birth. She seemed unwilling to allow Russ or Russ’ mother to hold or be alone with her son, which was very distressing. Worse, Pao admitted to vaccine hesitancy, confessing that they would pick and choose which vaccinations Axel received. That’s not okay. Paola, seen here feeding celery juice (the very concept of which makes me shudder) to baby Axel, has clear concerns about her son’s health. Does she hope that giving him all-organic foods and denying him much-needed vaccines will ensure that he does not repeat her niece’s horror? That might explain, but not excuse, some of her post-partum struggles that shocked fans earlier this year. We are so overjoyed on behalf of Paola’s niece and we wish the entire extended family the very best. View Slideshow: Paola Mayfield: See Her Stunning Post-Baby Body Transformation!
If a picture is truly worth 1,000 words, then the collection of pictures below scream out one thing and one thing only: The Giudices are one big happy family!!!! As previously detailed, Teresa and her four daughters have touched down in Italy, reuniting overseas with husband/father Joe, who has been banished to his native country while he waits to find out if he'll be deported forever from the United States. The odds are heavily in favor of this ruling. This would mean Joe will never live in the United States again — as a consequence of him commiting a felony while residing here as a foreign citizen — and it would seemingly mean he'll get divorced from Teresa . So keep that in mind while you toggle through the following images. And also keep another saying in mind, one that seems especially apt as you look at all these smiling faces: Looks can be deceiving. 1. Soaking Up the Italian Sun We can’t say we love the Giudices very much. But this is a rather gorgeous photo of everyone, even their harshest critics must admit. 2. Out with His Daughters Wrote Joe of this photo: “had the best night with my girls. so happy you guys are here my heart is filled.. audriana was too tired.” 3. Buddies! “My buddy.” That’s what Joe wrote as a caption to this sweet and simple photo of him and his teenage daughter. 4. Important Daddy-Daughter Time We make a lot of fun of Joe — because he seems like an entitled jerk who absolutely broke the law and only seems to regret getting caught. But we are happy for his daughters, that they got a chance to see their dad in Italty. 5. Saying Cheeese! This was the first photo of the trip to Italy shared online, the one that initially made all the Internet rounds. 6. Totes Twinning The Real Housewives of New Jersey star shared this photo of her and Joe’s daughter, Milania, looking eerily similar. We just hope she and Joe keep her and her sisters’ best interests in mind at all times. View Slideshow
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Weeks after her divorce to husband Shannon Brown was finalized, it seems that Monica is having a metamorphosis of sorts. Or let her tell it, a “new beginning.” On Tuesday, the 39-year-old posted a photo spread of her in the nude, and it was stunning. Sporting her iconic short pixie, the mother of 3, looked absolutely breathtaking (and super-fit), posing on a balcony near the beach. “New Beginnings Required Shedding it All M.D.A.,” the Committed singer wrote. (M.D.A. are initials for her name, Monica Denise Arnold.) Take a look: View this post on Instagram New Beginnings Required Shedding it All M.D.A. A post shared by Monica (@monicadenise) on Nov 5, 2019 at 8:57pm PST In a second photo, here she is soaking up some rays, glowing in her barely-there makeup and catlined eyes. She also appears to have a new mantra to living: Not sweating the small stuff her anymore. “Not much getting under my skin these days… I Get ahead of it or above it…. M.D.A. ….,” Monica wrote.

A post shared by Monica (@monicadenise) on Nov 5, 2019 at 11:54pm PST As we previously reported, Monica and Brown had been married for 10 years before Monica filed for divorce back in March. They share a 6-year-old daughter Laiyah . The “Boy Is Mine” singer hasn’t shared too much about what caused the dissolution of her marriage, but thankfully, she looks strong, healthy and ready for what the rest of her life has in store for her.
