What happens when three women decide to unexpectedly pop up on their sons after feeling neglected on Mother’s Day? A charming comedy that reminds us all to find our true selves and live our best lives. Angela Bassett, Patricia Arquette and Felicity Huffman star in the upcoming Netflix movie that shows the other side of motherhood… Otherhood. After journeying to NYC to surprise and reconnect with their sons, empty nesters Carol (Angela Bassett), Gillian (Patricia Arquette) and Helen (Felicity Huffman) realize they’re more consumed with their adult son’s lives than they are their own. They go to the club, enjoy pizza (which turns into an erotic moment) and do the things they’ve always wanted to do. Otherhood hits theaters August 2nd.

Yes, there is the physical aspect that we all understand but many don’t understand that physical abuse is usually the escalated result of other types – mental, emotional and even financial.

KABOOM! Weeks ahead of her forecasted delivery date, Amy Duggar has dropped yet another baby bombshell on Duggar Nation. While this popular family breaks one giant piece of pregnancy news after another, Amy and husband Dillon have made it clear they’re just too anxious and excited to keep one juicy tidbit about their impending child a secret. They simply had to come out this weekend and make the reveal. They had to alert all followers to their son’s first and middle name! “Baby K has a name!!!” Amy wrote as a caption yesterday to the following image, adding: Baby Dax we cannot wait to meet you!! You already bring so much joy into our lives!! We love you so much Daxton Ryan! So there you have it: Daxton. But it sounds like the young man will go by the nickname Dax. Amy has entered her third trimester and is clearly trying to make the most out of her pregnancy. She waited all the way until the age of 32 to start her family — which is perfectly “normal” and would not be noteworthy at all if she were a member of any other family. As a native Duggar, however, she might as well be 92, you know? She’s downright ancient when compared to the ages at which other loved ones have first gotten pregnant. Amy and Dillon got married in Arkansas in of 2015 and announced they were expecting their this past April, initially sharing the news with People Magazine. This is what they told the publication at the time… “We are completely speechless, overly excited and ready for the next chapter as new parents! I’m over the moon about becoming a momma! I just can’t hardly wait. “I’m over the moon about becoming a momma! I just can’t hardly wait.” Ever since making this announcement, Amy has been sharing one baby bump photo after another online with her supporters. Here, for example, is a snapshot of the star at 19 weeks . But nothing may ever beat the image she also shared this weekend of just herself, her face — and that precious belly! Aside from becoming a mother in the very near future, King is also busy with her Springdale, Arkansas business 3130 Clothing. Earlier this month, she announced her brand was expanding to include home goods. “We are taking 2,000 square feet more and we’re gonna be adding home goods, and all kinds of new clothing, a whole wall devoted to our curvy section, all of our girls,” King shared in a July 1 Instagram video. “We’re gonna have a coffee bar, we’re gonna make this place be amazing!” She then wrote in a caption to this footage: “Completely floored by the love and support we have received!! Our customers are simply the best. “We want this new space to be so inviting for womens groups, fundraising opportunities, fun exclusive shop nights, and to shine a light in NWA!” View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [MORE UPDATES!] As you can see above, meanwhile, Amy is just one of several Duggar women expecting a child later this year or early next year. And we’re not kidding, either.

Alaskan Bush People is about to add yet another person to its family. Another very small person, that is, at least initially. Gabe Brown and wife Raquell Rose have announced that they’re expecting their first-ever child, breaking this very exciting piece of news to People Magazine via the statement below. We’re so thrilled to share we’re expecting a new addition to our family this November. God has blessed us in so many ways and we can’t wait to meet our little one this fall. The couple did not reveal the gender of its impending little one, but did specify that he or she is due on November 10. Brown’s famous younger sister, Rain, couldn’t help but also make her feelings known, telling this same publication of her brother, her sister-in-law and her future niece or nephew: “Gabe and Raquell are both adventurous, kind souls and I know they will be amazing parents.” We learned late last year that Gabe and Raquel were engaged . They then went ahead and actually got married in January in the state of Washington. This joyous and exciting pregnancy confirmation, however, comes just over a month after the parents-to-be exchanged vows for the second time in an intimate ceremony with friends and family in June. They did so on the five-month anniversary of their first nuptials. Gabriel and Raquell’s baby will be the newest member of this famous and beloved family after Noah Brown and his wife Alisha welcomed their son Elijah Connor Brown back in February. (Noah is the youngest of Billy and Ami Brown’s kids and has starred on Alaskan Bush People fromm the very beginning of this reality series.) “He’s already working on his howl! Rhain is a wonderful mother already, I am truly in awe of her and we are both very grateful and excited to welcome him to our family,” Noah told People at the time of his son’s birth. Elsewhere… This bombshell arrives a couple days after Discovery Channel announced the return Alaskan Bush People, following some concern that the show might get canceked. The new season will focus on the family’s move from Alaska to Washington, along with the challenge of building quality homes for every kid before winter. The season will also chronicle the arrival of little Elijah, of course, as well as Ami’s recovery after surviving her battle with cancer. Alaskan Bush People: Season 10 Trailer, Premiere Date Revealed! “We’re back guys,” Billy says in the above trailer for the new episodes. “It’s really important each one of the guys, they have their houses finished before the snow locks us up.” “For all of us, it’s really important at this point in life to have our own piece of land. What we’re doing here is symbolizing the future of the Browns,” Joshua Brown adds. Alaskan Bush People returns Sunday, Augagst 4 at 9/8c on Discovery Channel. CONGRATS TO GABE BROWN AND RAQUELL ROSE!

Every single time Farrah opens her big ol’ mouth and speaks, it’s just a magical experience, isn’t it? And by “magical,” of course we mean “painfully, unimaginably dumb.” Though, to be fair, the way Farrah is able to twist reality and the English language really could be considered magical. After all, do you know anyone else who who’s capable of mixing up such impressive word salads? Anyway, Farrah is ridiculous, forever and always, and we all know it. But lately, things have been a bit different for her. She’s been out of Teen Mom OG for a good long while now, and since then, she’s kind of been floating in the wind, right? She did a stint on that MTV dating show, she does appearances now and then, and she’s been very active on social media. There have also been a few more adult ventures — remember when she tried to be a sex therapist on her camgirl site ? However, many, many people think she’s been working as a high class escort . The rumor has been floating around for a few years now, but in the past few months, it’s really picked up. The theory is that being a prostitute is how she manages to do so much traveling and to stay in such expensive resorts , and also how she pays for all the work she’s been getting. Like, we know it’s not her keen business sense that’s paying the bills. And let’s not forget that she’s been in legal trouble a few times in the past year. She owes people a whole lot of money. The prostitute theory has been supported by statements from two of Farrah’s former friends, Myla Sinanaj and Phoebe Price, as well as from her own mother. Just last month, someone asked Debra on Instagram how she felt about Farrah working as an escort, and she responded by saying that “God gave each of us free will.” Lots of sites have been reporting on all of this, and lots of people have been discussing it. Enough that when Farrah and Sophia were spotted at LAX and approached by paparazzi, she addressed it. “People always feed the need to drag hard working people down and wreck their families,” Farrah complained. She called those people “idiots and liars and haters.” She also spotted the opportunity to throw an insult at Jenelle Evans, who also accused her of being a prostitute earlier this month. “She definitely has been making poor choices,” Farrah said of Jenelle, apparently linking her to the “idiots and liars and haters” she discussed just before. “I’m just reacting to the facts,” she added. “She lost custody of her kids … that’s not a positive thing to even have on TV.” A feud between Farrah and Jenelle is just pointless, because they’re both awful and we can’t even root for either of them. Instead of focusing on that part, let’s move right ahead to the past where Sophia also spoke with paparazzi, OK? Sophia, totally of her own free will, spoke about her mother, saying “She’s always positive, she always makes me happy when I’m sad.” “And when we go through things like this type of stuff, everything just turns out fine and haters back off.” She also said “Our most mother daughter thing is vacations and travelling, and we really just have a lot of cute moments together.” As for those haters, had a little message for them: “I hope you get karma later in life. Don’t ever do that again because it’s wrong, and we all know that it’s wrong and that should never happen.” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Threatens to MURDER Reporter Who Called Her a Prostitute! Yep, everything’s totally fine for the Abraham girls. Nothing weird or amiss here.
Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Cardi B Is Tired Of The Allegations That Stem From Her Old Videos Cardi B faced some backlash earlier this year after an old video resurfaced, in which she admitted to drugging and robbing men while she was a stripper. At the time, she responded to all of the criticism by stating that she was “not proud” of her actions saying, “I have a past that I can’t change—we all do.” Now, the controversy surrounding her admission has re-resurfaced (thanks, internet) with people now accusing the rapper of being a rapist. Cardi responded to these most recent claims during her Instagram Live on Friday. “I don’t like when people be trying to call me a rapist,” she admitted to her fans. “I don’t like that s**t. Because people tried to dig up something and make it something that I didn’t do.” Though the “Clout” rapper didn’t exactly deny robbed some of her clients back when she was a stripper, she made sure to stress the fact that she never sexually assaulted anyone. “I never touched nobody, I never f***ed nobody,” she added. “And rape is when you f**k somebody without their consent or without asking.” https://twitter.com/PopCrave/status/1152332678508810240 As far as the other allegations stemming from the video, Cardi also went on to explain that those are false, too, emphasizing that she never drugged any of the men she met at her former workplace. “B***hes don’t have to put s**t in n****s’ drinks, these n****s be going to [the] club getting drunk and getting high…I never put s**t in n****s’ drinks. Yeah, I went through n****s’ pockets. A lot of you b****es be going through n****s’ pockets for $40 to catch a cab ’cause a n***a don’t want to give you that. Same s**t. Was I wrong for that? That was wrong, but I never f***in’ hurt nobody.” So, regarding the plethora of accusations that come from that one now-infamous Instagram video from years ago, it looks like the only thing Cardi concedes to is robbing some of her clients. In an effort to validate her claims of innocence, the Bronx native stressed that, because of her popularity as a stripper in New York, people would have found out very quickly if she actually had assaulted or drugged anyone. “If I was to ever harm or put a n***a in a situation, f**k jail, n****s would have cut my face [and] beat my ass,” she said. And there you have it
