Source: photo: WENN It seems the day to day grind of hosting a talk show is taking a toll on Wendy Williams . She has announced she will be taking time off get her body right. As reported by  Vibe  America’s favorite gossiper will have to put things on pause until she feels well. Last week Wendy Williams announced on her show that she injured her shoulder thus staying in her seat for the majority of her show. She went on to further detail her struggles via her official Instagram account. “I did that to power through and try to deliver a great show for you, against the better judgment of the many people around me who genuinely care for my well-being. I really do ride or die for my craft and give 200%” she explained. She went on to also remind her fans about her longstanding medical condition. “Not to mention everyone is aware at this point about my thyroid condition (don’t cry for me Argentina). “For all my fellow thyroid sufferers, you know what the deal is,” she continued. “…Needless to say… I have no regrets and I appreciate everyone’s genuine concern for my wellness and care. I promise you a better Wendy in 2019.” This isn’t the first time the former radio host has experience health concerns during her tenure as a television personality. In 2017 she fainted during a Halloween themed episode. She attributed the scare due to lack of rest. Earlier this year she took a 3 week-week break per doctor’s orders.  The Wendy Williams Show is scheduled to return to live tapings in January of 2019. Photo: WENN.com

Courageous Cavalier Kevin Love Opens Up About His Struggles With Mental Health

Credit: Brian To/WENN.com National Mental Health Day was last month, but the conversations regarding the taboo topic must continue everyday. Cleveland Cavaliers star Kevin Love is doing his part to raise awareness by speaking out about his own battle with anxiety and depression. He revealed that he had a panic attack on the court last season, which forced him to return to the locker room. Love told CNN , “Beating that stigma has been something that has been great in my life. It’s been therapeutic, and it’s been good to share my experience and try to help. The biggest lesson for me since (the panic attack) in November wasn’t about a therapist, it was about confronting the fact that I needed help.” He also thanked fellow NBA star, like Demar DeRozan , for being candid about their struggles with mental health. Man, love and respect for opening that door for me. You’ve helped more people than you know!! https://t.co/cFjTsUHbIx — Kevin Love (@kevinlove) March 7, 2018   Love has partnered with Shick Hydro on a website series called “ Locker Room Talk ” in which he chats with other popular athletes as they attempt to break down the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.

She’s Raw: Rapper Sheila D Yeah Blasts Nasty A&R Talking About Her Kid On New “Ratchet Royalty” EP

Sheila D Gets Raw On “Ratchet Royalty” Firstly, Sheila D Yeah has been doing her thing musically for a minute and she’s dope. The Baltimore native took her talents to L.A. where she ran into a few hiccups, but it hasn’t stopped her from living out her musical dreams. On her latest release “ Ratchet Royalty “, the lyricist discusses her struggles as a single mother — very different content from what’s popping with women rappers today. Sheila includes a voicemail from an aggy A&R on the intro of the EP, and dude straight up tells her no one wants to work with her because she had a baby. “Unfortunately [inaudible] has lost interest. The concern is, and this is probably why she has never gone anywhere…she’s a mother, she has a kid and there’s no father in the picture. If you look a billboard Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Cardi…they don’t have kids. Cardi B may be pregnant but she can do that…Everyone is not interested because she has a child.” It starts at the 1:00 mark: Wow, do you think it’s a fair or foul decision to not sign a contract with someone because they are a mother??? Sounds cruel. Congratulations to Sheila for getting her EP off, despite haters! Hear “Ratchet Royalty” here:

Zoey Deutch Titty Grab of the Day

Zoey Dutch is Caroline in the City’s Lea Thompson’s 23 year old daughter, who I guess had to go through the struggles of knocking on no doors to get her first acting job, creating her existence as whatever the fuck she is, in what I will reduce to her grabbing her tit. I don’t know why a rich kid from LA looks like she’s 10 years older than she is, or why she’s grabbing her tit for Caroline in the City’s Lea Thompson…I don’t try to understand women of any age, or why they do anything they do, especially not rich, spoiled, entitled women…I just go with it…and this is us going with it.

So Sad: Kirk Franklin Mourns His Sister’s 30 Year Prison Sentence

See the original post here:

Source: Erika Goldring / Getty Gospel artist Kirk Franklin is facing difficult times this week when he announced that his sister was sentenced to 30 years in prison. He revealed the news in an Instagram post saying “I now feel the weight of wondering if I could’ve done more…”   It’s not clear what caused his sister’s long sentence. However, Kirk has been pretty public about the struggles she’s faced, including an addiction to crack-cocaine. In a 2015 interview , Kirk said, “For over ten years, my younger sister was incarcerated in a facility here in Texas. She was in love with a young man who was drug dealer. He introduced her to not only selling drugs, but using as well. When he was arrested for drug trafficking, she was arrested along with him. After she served her time, she was brought before the review board who determined she was ready to be released and brought back into society. The documents were signed and she was set free… but only on paper.” Kirk continued, “After a few months back into the free world, it became obvious to me rather quickly that my sister was still in prison. It’s what they call being institutionalized. She quickly started using again, becoming very reckless with her body, which turned into her using it as a means to pay for her habit.” With more talk about prison reform and harsh sentencing , questions do arise on if Kirk’s sister deserved her 30 year sentence in the first place. Is it because of distributing drugs? Using? If she’s been committed to an institution before, shouldn’t her intervention be in the form of rehabilitation instead of prison? Kirk has yet to go into details about his next steps following the intense news, but we’ll continue to keep you updated if anything major should surface.

Maci Bookout: I’m GLAD I Dumped Ryan Edwards!

There was a time when Maci Bookout and Ryan Edwards were among the most civil former couples in the entire Teen Mom franchise. We think it's safe to say those days are done. Maci and Ryan are feuding over custody of their son, Bentley , and it looks as though the conflict is doomed to get uglier before it (hopefully) gets resolved. As is so often the case in public custody disputes, a fair amount of shade-throwing is going on, and the latest comes from Maci, who says she's very happy that she decided to cut Ryan loose so many years ago.   1. The Beginning There was a time when Ryan and Maci actually seemed like a stable couple by Teen Mom standards. That era didn’t last very long. 2. A Bitter Breakup Ryan and Maci have gone through periods of relatively amicable co-parenting, but they’ve also experienced plenty of rough patches. The one they’re in now being a prime example… 3. “See You in Court!” A recent episode of Teen Mom saw Mackenzie and Bentley visiting Ryan on Father’s Day. He vaguely threatened his ex with legal action. 4. Safety Concerns Maci is reportedly concerned about Ryan’s ability to create a safe and stable environment for Bentley. Given his struggles in recent months, it’s not hard to see why she might feel that way. 5. Ryan at Rock Bottom Ryan’s drug addiction was so severe at one point that he passed out while driving to his own wedding. These days, he’s six months sober, but he’s had a difficult time earning Maci’s trust back. 6. Opening Up Maci spoke candidly about her feelings toward Ryan in a recent TM:OG promo. He might not like what she had to say… View Slideshow
