Shante You Stay…Forever! RuPaul Secretly Got Married To His Boyfriend Of 23 Years

RuPaul Marries Longtime Partner Georges LeBar In Secret Ceremony Congratulations are in order for RuPaul, as he just revealed that he quietly got married back in January to his boyfriend of 23 years Georges LeBar. The Drag legend revealed the happy news on Hollywood Today Live, opening up to host Ross Mathews about his relationship status. “I’ve never said this on television before: we are married,” he said. “We were looking into it really for tax breaks and financial things,” he joked. RuPaul met his new husband out on the dance floor at famous NYC’s club, The Limelight, back in 1994 on Georges’ birthday. Fast forward to last January, and these two got married in a lowkey ceremony on the 23rd anniversary of the day they met. Awww, good for them! Ru seems pretty happy with the decision. We assume that with over two decades of time in together they’re pretty solid on the fact that they want to spend forever together. Splash/Instagram

Jesus Take The Wheel: Pregnant Aspiring Model Killed By Freight Train During Railroad Photo Shoot

Aspiring Texas Model And Soon-To-Be Bride Killed By Freight Train Just…wow. 19-year-old Fredzania Thompson was an aspiring model, an expectant mother and a soon-to-be bride. Sadly she will not be able to see any of those dreams come to fruition as a result of a tragic and heartbreaking train accident. According to The Eagle , Fredzania was killed on Friday while standing in between two railroad tracks during a photo shoot. She was struck by a freight train. Witnesses told investigators she was standing where two train tracks meet. Police said one set of tracks belonged to BNSF and the other to Union Pacific. Thomson was standing between the tracks and watching for an oncoming train from BNSF with her back turned toward an oncoming Union Pacific train. Witnesses said she tried to cross the Union Pacific tracks to avoid the BNSF train and was hit by the Union Pacific train. She died en route to a local hospital. Fredzania would have been 20-years-old on this past Monday and just two weeks ago she informed her 25-year-old fiance of her pregnancy: “She said, ‘You’re going to be a dad again,’” he said. Thompson deeply loved Chatman’s 7-year-old son, who would have become her stepson. She seemed to be a motherly figure to him, Chatman said, and the boy has been troubled by her death. “He woke up crying this morning,” Chatman said quietly. “He thought [her death] was a dream.” Can’t even imagine the kind of pain her family and friends are feeling right now. Our thoughts are with them all. Image via Facebook

Tan Mom Suffers Seizure in Rehab

Patricia “Tan Mom” Krentcil was hospitalized Saturday morning after suffering a seizure while undergoing in-patient treatment for alcohol abuse. Krentcil began seizing while in the rehab facility and was rushed to a Palm Beach, Fla., hospital. She is still resting as doctors monitor her condition. After several reported incidents of public drunkenness, Krentcil checked into The Lukens Institute June 20 to undergo a 30-day treatment for alcoholism. New Jersey’s resident Tan Mom , 45, gained wide notoriety last year when she was accused of bringing her then five-year-old daughter to a tanning bed. Krentcil turned her 15 minutes of “fame” into some interesting endeavors, recently debuting a music video for her novelty rap single “It’s Tan Mom.” It’s rather amazing. Check it out after the jump … Tanning Mom Music Video – It’s Tan Mom!

Spencer Clawson, Big Brother 15 Cast Member, Probably Getting Fired Soon

Spencer Clawson is the latest Big Brother 15 cast member to face the real world fallout from racist and homophobic slurs made on the show’s live feeds. Union Pacific railroad, which employs him as a conductor, says: “The values represented by Spencer Clawson’s comments during the Big Brother show do not at all align with Union Pacific’s values.” “Mr. Clawson is on unpaid leave of absence while participating on Big Brother. Union Pacific does not condone his comments.” It seems unlikely that he’ll be paid by them again after this. Clawson was recently seen/heard on Big Brother cameras calling a gay houseguest “Kermit the F**” … and praising Adolf Hitler as a “gifted speaker.” UP continued its statement by saying that it is currently “acting in accordance with Collective Bargaining Agreement terms regarding Mr. Clawson.” Basically, they’re exploring their options regarding his termination. A group of cast members on BB15 have been under scrutiny since being overheard bashing fellow contestants on the live, uncensored, online feeds. CBS edits the thrice-weekly broadcasts, but the feeds are as-is. Clawson isn’t alone in this predicament. GinaMarie Zimmerman and Aaryn Gries have already lost their day jobs due to racist comments they made on the show.

Puppy Tied to Tracks By Terrible Old Man: Saved!

Officials at a Riverside County animal shelter say a 10-month old poodle/terrier named Banjo is okay today after a 78-year old man tied the puppy to railroad tracks on April 2. Fortunately, an engineer pulled the emergency brakes in time and saved the animal. Union Pacific Special Agent Sal Pina responded to the scene and referred to it as “one of the worst things I’ve seen.” He untied the dog and detained the man, who said he had no other option because his family didn’t want Banjo anymore. “After an extensive interview, Agent Pina said that he could not pursue an animal-cruelty case because the man appeared to be confused, or senile and didn’t fully understand what he had done,” John Welsh of the Riverside County Department of Animal Services said in a statement.
