Meri Brown Continues to Leave Fans Confused and Concerned Over Cryptic Social Media Posts

It sounds very much as if we now know when Sister Wives will return . But one rather enormous question continues to hang over this long-running reality show: Will Meri Brown continue to be part of the cast? We’ve been asking this question for several months now, considering some believe Meri is no longer wearing her wedding ring and just considering how open she’s been forever about her unhappiness. Of all the Sister Wives, Meri has tried the most to branch off on her own, even trying to actively date outside of the marriage a couple years ago, as you likely know. You likely know how that went as well . More recently, Meri has been using her social media platforms to share mysterious messages at time, many of which seem to point to someone still trying to seek some sort of happiness in life. Just consider the latest, for example: “ Give . But don’t allow yourself to be used,” the Sister Wives star wrote, adding in this meme: “ Love . But don’t allow your heart to be abused. Trust . But don’t be naive. Listen . But don’t lose your own voice.” This does sort of possibly summarize Meri’s issues as a member of Kody Brown’s sexist and messed up clan. It can’t be easy to feel like you have a voice of your own when you are one of multiple women whose only job in life is to serve the husband you share. This struggle may explain why Meri is so often out on her own, away from the other family members in Flagstaff, Arizona. Why might Meri post something along these lines now? Well, Kody and Robyn Brown just bought themselves a mansion , yet another example that Meri is pretty far down in the Sister Wives pecking order. On Sunday, she took a walk in a secluded grove of aspen trees and shared a rather heartfelt message on Instagram in the process. “I needed to self reflect and figure some things out,” Meri wrote as a caption to the very first image published above, adding: “I needed to address some things inside of me that were screaming to be addressed. I needed to give myself a big emotional hug from the inside out.” Yikes, huh? Like we keep emphasizing, it really doesn’t sound like Meri is doing very well these days. “My big takeaway from this, (obviously among others that I don’t choose to go into on this forum) is I’m ok. I’m a good person. I goof up sometimes, I’m not perfect, but I work to be better,” she continued, echoing another recent post . “I’m worthy and worth it. I’m proud of who I am. I love my life. I love my family. I love my friends. These things are ALL important to me and I value them. “I value the relationships I have that push me to be a better me. I value the relationships I have that support me when I’m not so loveable. I value the relationships I have that see the good in me and value what I have to give. “I value the relationships I have that have stuck with me through rough times and still see me as worth it.” And, in conclusion? I know there are some who have let me go and given up on me and that’s ok. I will continue to love, to care, to be there. I will continue being the best me I can be. I will continue being happy with me. We truly hope Meri Brown soon finds whatever it is she’s looking for. View Slideshow: Meri and Kody Brown: Is This Really It for the Sister Wives Couple?

Jamie Spears: Britney Spears’ Awful Dad Still Controls Her Finances

Millions of fans rejoiced at the news that Jamie Spears is out as Britney’s conservator . For now, her personal life will be managed by another. Britney’s mom has been fighting in court to wrest control from Jamie so that she can look after her daughter’s affairs. Unfortunately, she has now lost that court battle — and Jamie is expected to resume his tyrannical hold on Britney as early as January. TMZ reports that Lynne Spears’ fight for her daughter’s conservatorship did not go as planned. Lynne felt that Jamie had been doing a poor job when acting as their famous daughter’s conservator. She wanted the reigns. But the court ruled that Jamie will continue to manage Britney’s estate from a financial angle. Jodi Montgomery is currently handling the more personal aspects of the conservatorship. Jamie hand-picked Jodi while stepping back from the role, allegedly for medical reasons, in the wake of his alleged attack on Britney’s son. For many years, Lynne Spears did not appear — at least to the public — to take much interest in the conservatorship. That changed this spring, when Britney’s sudden 30-day stint in a mental health facility prompted cries of alarm and “Free Britney.” While some of the outcry was well-intentioned but a little dehumanizing, some fans were surprised to see Lynne agree with them. She has openly discussed her belief that Britney’s social media appears to be manipulated, perhaps without her knowledge. Then, Lynne filed documents to see more of what’s going on with Britney’s health management. Britney is an incredible mother, a titan of the music industry, and beloved all over the world. She is also a grown woman. She is 37. In two months and a little change, she’ll be 38. TMZ notes that just about everyone “in the know” agrees that the conservatorship initially saved her life. That may well be true — but that doesn’t mean that it needs to stay. It has been in effect for nearly 12 years, now. How long before Britney is permitted to manage her own life? Reports claim that Britney’s mental and emotional well being is less than ideal at the moment. For instance, Britney just recently backed out of an appearance at an awards show, opting to race back to the car. And her stay at a mental health facility earlier this year was reportedly so that she could find a new medication that works. Of course, vague claims about a mysterious mental illness are hard for many fans to swallow, and not because it’s an “invisible illness.” There are conspiracy theorists who believe that reports about Britney are deliberately exaggerated … to keep the conservatorship alive. We don’t know that we’d go that far, but we can certainly join millions of Britney’s other fans in wishing to keep Jamie as far away from her affairs as possible. Jamie may be off the hook for child abuse charges , despite allegedly breaking down a door to assault then 13-year-old Sean Preston. But that doesn’t mean that he’s, you know, a good person or safe to be around. Reports say that Britney hasn’t spoken to her awful father since that scary incident — perhaps even since before that. And she and Sean Federline made sure that the boys were safe, sending them to Kevin’s immediately where Jamie’s conservatorship means squat. Both of Britney’s sons now have restraining orders barring their garbage grandfather from seeing them for the next three years.

Aron Eisenberg, Star Trek Actor, Has Died at Age 50

Aron Eisenberg, who played the fan-favorite role of Nog in “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” has died at the age of 50 .  According to E! News , the actor’s wife, Malissa Longo, shared early Saturday morning that Eisenberg was hospitalized in critical condition, without further explanation.  Later that night she shared the tragic news to Facebook that he had passed away. “It is with extreme regret and sadness to announce that my love and best friend, Aron Eisenberg, passed away earlier today,” she began her post. “He was an intelligent, humble, funny, emphatic soul. He sought to live his life with integrity and truth.” “He was so driven to put the best he had into whatever work was put before him,” the post continued. “He lived his life with such vigor and passion. He was like a breath of fresh air, because I knew I would always hear the truth from him. Even if I didn’t want to hear it and even if the truth was inconvenient.” Longo then went on to explain in detail just how much of an impact her husband had on her life. “He made me (and still makes me) want to be the best human I can possibly be, because he always strove to be the best human he could be,” she explained. “His resilience and willingness to learn was and is an inspiration.”  Eisenberg and Longo got engaged back in 2016, and it was in her heartfelt message that she reveled they had eloped back in December after the holidays. “We were hoping to have a big shindig in celebration of our nuptials, but had to wait to save up the money,” she wrote. “While, our marriage, on paper, was a short one. Our hearts had been married for far longer.” “I will forever be thankful for the time we had to love each other. Five years felt like a lifetime, in the best possible ways,” she shared. “There will never be another light like Aron’s. The beauty that he was and the legacy he leaves behind is beyond words. I love him dearly and will him eternally.” “At the moment I’m not sure how to do life without him… He is and always will be My California,” Longo concluded her beautiful message. Eisenberg had battled some serious health issues throughout his life, including the fact that he was born with one defective kidney which stunted his growth. He was on dialysis until age 13 and underwent a kidney transplant at 17, he also underwent another transplant in 2015.  Besides his unfortunate health conditions, Eisenberg went on to play the role of Nog, the first Ferengi to join Starfleet, on the series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine , which aired from 1993-1999. He later played Kazon on Star Trek: Voyager and he also appeared on shows such as The Wonder Years , Parker Lewis Can’t Lose and Tales From the Crypt.  In recent years, however, he spent his time working as a professional photographer.  Many of his co-stars and friends mourned his loss, including Armin Shimerman, who played Eisenberg’s character’s uncle Quark on the Star Trek series. “He was a man of conviction and enormous sensitivity and the best of humanity. [My wife] Kitty and I grieve for Aron, his boys, and Malissa. Flight of angels my friend… you will be missed. There are no words…” he wrote. Garrett Wang, who played Harry Kim on Star Trek: Voyager , posted a video of Eisenberg at a fan convention where he also promoted a link to a GoFundMe page, created to help raise money to cover funeral costs. Aron is survived by his wife and his two sons, Christopher Eisenberg and Nicholas Eisenberg. We send our condolences to his friends, fans, and loved ones. May he rest in peace.

Farrah Abraham Accused of Child Abuse After Posting Shocking Video of Daughter Sophia

Folks, it's another new low for Farrah Abraham! For reasons that aren't entirely clear, Abraham was in attendance at the 2019 Emmys on Sunday night — and while she didn't drag her 10-year-old daughter along as a red carpet prop like she usually does, she still took advantage of the opportunity to further traumatize poor Sophia. Tik Tok was briefly mentioned during the ceremony, so Farrah decided it would be a perfect time to use the app to post a wildly inappropriate video starring her unfortunate offspring. It was disgusting, there's no doubt about that — but did it cross the line into child abuse? That's what some of Abraham's followers are currently arguing in the comments. Check out the nauseating clip and decide for yourself.  1. Working the Circuit For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, Farrah and Sophia have been invited to a LOT of A-list events in recent weeks. 2. Red Carpet Randos First, they attended the Venice Film Festival together. Hey, maybe Backdoor Teen Mom is considered a cinematic classic in Europe? 3. Pond-Hoppers From there, it was off to New York to attend the launch party for Jenelle Evans’ cosmetics line. Okay, so not all of the events were A-list affairs. 4. How Did This Happen? But the crowning event on Farrah’s recently jam-packed social calendar had to be the 2019 Emmy Awards, which were held in Los Angeles Sunday night. 5. Not at the Cool Kids’ Table As evidenced by this hilariously sad collage she posted on Instagram, Farrah didn’t get close to many stars. In fact, it looked as though she walked an entirely different red carpet. 6. Shout-Out From Sophia Sophia was not able to join her mom at the awards, but as usual, she sang Farrah’s praises in the comments section. View Slideshow

Felicity Huffman Mocked, Dragged at 2019 Emmy Awards

Sunday night's award show for the 2019 Emmys has come and gone, and people are still mocking Kim and Kourtney . But you didn't have to present — or even be there — to find yourself getting mocked by the Emmys crowd. In fact, one absent star in particular was singled out for ridicule. Anybody seen Felicity Huffman? Comedian and Reno 9-1-1 alum Thomas Lennon had some wild commentary for the Emmy Awards, and one bit in particular stood out. “The producers have asked me to give a special shout-out,” Thomas begins. Said shout-out was directed to “any of our previous Lead Actress winners.” Specifically, winners who “are watching tonight from prison.” “Hopefully,” Thomas expresses. “Those two weeks are going to fly right by.” He concludes, saying: “Keep your chin up.” It's no mystery to whom he may have been referring. Felicity has been nominated for multiple Emmys, and took home the award in 2005. Given that she was sentenced to 14 days in prison , he could only have meant her. But … unless Felicity is just super jazzed for reruns of award shows, he may have missed the mark. Felicity is not behind bars, my dude. Not yet. Some folks assumed that when it was announced that Felicity was carted out of the courtroom and tossed directly into her new cell. Maybe these people also imagined her wearing black and white stripes with her ankle shackled to a large iron ball. The reality of the matter is that the wheels of justice move almost as slowly for criminals as they do for those seeking justice. Felicity is already serving part of her court-ordered sentence. But she isn't doing it behind bars. On May 13, Felicity entered her formal guilty plea to the charge of honest services fraud. Four months later, on September 13, she was awarded her sentence of 14 days behind bars. The actual prison sentence does not begin until October 25. She must also pay a small (for her) fine of $30,000 and, upon her release, will be on probation (supervised release) for one year. Felicity has also been ordered to complete 250 hours of community service. Now, Felicity has actually already begun to complete some of her community service hours. While it's smart to get some of it out of the way early, she likely has an ulterior motive. Starting right away on your community service helps show the judge that you are respectful, cooperative, and repentant. Felicity wants to go to a nicer prison that is nearby. If the judge is convinced that she's committed to the straight and narrow, she may get her wish. Only time will tell, however. And the urge to make an example of celebrities can apply to judges just as much as it can to prosecutors. Real talk? Thomas Lennon was taking an easy swipe at her. We don't think that he's personally gloating over her misfortune, even if she deserves it. Most people find her likeable. And in contrast to the depths to which Lori Loughlin sunk, Felicity definitely comes out as the lesser of the two criminals. Yes, she paid someone to take the SAT in her daughter's name to boost her score. It's wrong, but it's not six figures of outright bribes wrong. We somehow doubt that Felicity and her family were tuning in to the Emmys this year, though. They have other things on their minds.

Swirlitics: Jeanie Mai Says She’s In A “Interresponsible” Relationship With Jeezy As They Learn Each Other’s Cultures

Source: Leon Bennett / Getty Deep Swirl: Jeannie Mai Talks Jeezy Learning Her Culture And Her Learning His History Interracial relationships are more than just “looking good” together and Jeannie Mai knows this. While visiting Big Boy’s Neighborhood  with the ladies of  T he Real ,  Jeannie addressed folks critical of her new romance. After comments she made about her taste for “dark meat” spread, the host tried to sort out why she got so much heat for it. “That’s something I’m still kind of understanding because I don’t see it. Obviously when you marry you marry for love. Even in my past marriage, I married for love. Feelings change, people grow apart, so that happened. For me, it’s just focusing on what is love for two people, two human beings? So that part is kind of a responsibility that we’re just going to have to demonstrate through our relationship.” Jeannie acknowledges that her role on hern Jeezy relationship is much bigger than optics. It’s about cultures coming together. “I think when you look at the word ‘interracial,’ you should really look at it as ‘interresponsible.’ It is a responsibility when you date outside of your race to learn about that culture because not everybody’s experience is the same,” she said. “When he steps into my house he takes off his shoes, he knows how Vietnamese people do it. When I met him I was like, ‘I want to go to Hawkinsville [Georgia]. Show me exactly this yellow house that you grew up in, and how did you start your business and how did you understand how to make a dollar. I actually loved it.” People the whole interview below.

Billy Porter Is 1st Openly Gay Black Man To Win Drama Lead Actor Emmy

See the original post here:

Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN Billy Porter inched one step closer to capturing the elusive EGOT quarter of awards, this after making history during last night’s Emmy Awards. The Pose star is the first openly gay Black man to win the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series award. Porter, 50, has emerged as one of the brightest star’s for FX’s hit series, Pose , which boasts the largest ensemble of transgender and LGBTQ and actors across any television show in its category. This follows Porter’s 2013 Tony Award win for the Broadway play Kinky Boots and his 2014 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album for Kinky Boots as well. During his acceptance speech, Porter quoted the late writer James Baldwin who also combated the stigma of being a Black gay creative during a time where criticism of one’s sexual orientation was barely tolerated by many. “James Baldwin said “Took many years of vomiting up all the filth that I had been taught about myself, and halfway believed, before I could walk around this Earth like I had the right to be here”,” Porter said in his speech. “I have the right, you have the right, we all have the right!” As it has been noted in times past, Porter was indeed stylish per usual. Watch the acceptance speech below. “Please don't ever stop telling the truth.” – @theebillyporter The category is LOVE. Can we all just take the time this morning to acknowledge Billy Porter and congratulate him on his Emmy win last night? Listen his amazing acceptance speech here. : @Variety pic.twitter.com/JOMiWIYc4G — Equality Jamaica (@EqualityJa) September 23, 2019 — Photo: WENN
