Demi Lovato & Wilmer Valderrama: The TRUTH Behind Their Breakup!

Over the weekend, we learned that yet another Hollywood romance had bitten the dust. After six years together, Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama announced they were splitting up . The couple made the announcement on social media with the following message: “After almost 6 loving and wonderful years together, we have decided to end our relationship.  “This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends. “We will always be supportive of one another. Thank you to everyone who has offered us kindness and support over the years.” Despite their marked age difference – Valderrama is 36 and Lovato 23 – fans had gotten used to the two of them together and suspected all was well. But a source now reveals the reason for the split. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama: So in Love! “[Demi and Wilmer] both were not in a rush to get married, they both were not in a rush to have kids and they thought that would change even when their close friends were doing all of that,” the source told HollywoodLife . “But the fact that they didn’t have the urge to get married and have kids really got them talking on if it was worth continuing the relationship,” continued the insider. “And that is when they realized being best friends was the best option for them.” Well, if both of them realized they wanted the exact same thing – i.e., not to get married and have kids – that actually sounds like the perfect reason to stay together to me. Or could it be that they do want marriage and children – just not with each other? Earlier this year, Lovato discussed the possibility of an engagement to Valderrama  on The Ellen DeGeneres Show . “I don’t see a ring,” the singer told the host. “I wouldn’t mind if I saw one, but there’s time for everything.” View Slideshow: Celebrity Breakups of 2016: Who Entered Splitsville?

Michael Strahan to Pen Scathing Memoir About Kelly Ripa?

Michael Strahan has already left Live! for Good Morning America. But that doesn’t mean the talk show host is done with Kelly Ripa, not according to a new tabloid cover story. The latest issue of Star claims that Strahan has a $10 million offer on the table to pen a memoir that will reveal endless secrets about his former colleague. An anonymous insider tells the magazine that Strahan would “relish telling his side of the story” of why he ditched one ABC program for another. Strahan, of course, announced in mid-April that he would depart Live! in September in order to become a full-time part of Good Morning America. But Ripa felt disrespected enough by the way in which ABC handled this announcement to stage a mini-boycott of her own show. She eventually returned… talked about the need for respect in the workplace … and then awkwardly sat next to Strahan for the next few weeks until he ended up leaving on May 13. Kelly Ripa Just Brought Up Michael Strahan’s Divorce What might a Strahan memoir include? Details on how Live! employees supposedly dislike Ripa, and “how icy-cold she can be toward anyone she deems beneath her.” The magazine writes that Ripa would also tell Strahan “very private, intimate stuff” about her marriage to Mark Consuelos… all of which Strahan is now prepared to spill to the public! Michael has “seen the worst side of Kelly, and he could blow apart her carefully constructed image and ultimately humiliate her,” the bombshell report claims. Ever since Strahan confirmed his job change, there’s been talk that he and Ripa have hated each other for years . Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan Celebrate Daytime Emmy Awards Win And this may very well be true. But Strahan has still carved out a reputation as one of television’s most beloved morning personalities. It seems very hard to believe that he’d risk that for a few million bucks. The guy has raked in plenty already from his professional football career and his new GMA gig. Ripa, meanwhile, has possibly gone rogue . She has also lined up a number of guest co-hosts, with no decision about a permanent fellow anchor expected any time soon. We have a few suggestions, however… View Slideshow: 16 Celebs Who Could Replace Michael Strahan On Live!

Blac Chyna Pregnancy: LEAKED By the Kardashians??

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian announced today that they were expecting their first child together. WUT… I mean, HOORAY!

Chyna was not happy, but since the cat was already out of the bag, she took to Instagram within an hour and posted an emoji of herself pregnant, and Rob did the same. “Allegedly the other half of her family leaked her story so she had to announce it,” says her rep, speaking of the Kardashians. The rep also revealed that the only person in Blac’s camp who knew (besides himself) was her BFF Amber Rose. “Her mother didn’t even know,” continued the rep. “[Chyna’s] moment was taken from her, which is really sad.” What’s worse is that the Kard clan reportedly jumped the gun in order to promote Keeping Up With the Kardashians . Rob’s engagement has been teased as a central storyline this season – even though Kris Jenner has prohibited Blac Chyna from appearing on the show . Stone cold.

Kelly Ripa BREAKS SILENCE on Live! Controversy: Will She Return??

After days of silence following the announcement that Michael Strahan was leaving Live! With Kelly and Michael , Kelly Ripa now speaks out on whether she will return to the show. The verdict? She’s coming back! Ripa said she will be in her Live! host seat on Tuesday morning, alongside co-host Strahan, reported Us Weekly . Her words came in an e-mail she sent to her staff late Friday night: “Sorry for this late Friday night email. “I wanted to thank you all for giving me the time to process this new information. “Your kindness, support, and love has overwhelmed me. “We are a family and I look forward to seeing you all on Tuesday morning. “Love, Kelly.” Ripa was reportedly blindsided when she learned that Strahan would be leaving Live! to take on the role of full-time correspondent on Good Morning America . She found out during a meeting with executives after Tuesday morning’s show, just minutes before the news was announced to the public. Reports claim Ripa was furious at the way the situation was handled and felt that ABC was giving priority to GMA . Shocking fans, she failed to show up to work Wednesday morning, leaving Ana Gasteyer to fill in last minute and forcing Strahan to deliver the announcement of his departure without his bubbly co-host. Ripa then took off to Turks and Caicos for a previously planned vacation with her family to celebrate her 20th wedding anniversary. Rumors swirled that Ripa might not return, or that she was refusing to work alongside Strahan, who she once called her “TV husband.” Fans can now rest knowing that the perky blonde will be back to the morning show next week, and we are just giddy anticipating how awkward it’s gonna be.

Virginia Governor Signs Executive Order That Allows Felons To Vote

Virginia Governor Signs Executive Order That Allows Felons To Vote Again Rather than having Republicans shut down the idea of restoring felons their voting rights, Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe used his executive power and restored voting rights to hundreds of thousands of felons on Friday. From the New York Times : Gov. Terry McAuliffe of Virginia used his executive power on Friday to restore voting rights to more than 200,000 convicted felons, circumventing the Republican-run legislature. The action effectively overturns a Civil War-era provision in the state’s Constitution aimed, he said, at disenfranchising African-Americans. The sweeping order, in a swing state that could play a role in deciding the November presidential election, will enable all felons who have served their prison time and finished parole or probation to register to vote. Most are African-Americans, a core constituency of Democrats, Mr. McAuliffe’s political party. Amid intensifying national attention over harsh sentencing policies that have disproportionately affected African-Americans, governors and legislatures around the nation have been debating — and often fighting over — moves to restore voting rights for convicted felons. Virginia imposes especially harsh restrictions, barring felons from voting for life. “There’s no question that we’ve had a horrible history in voting rights as relates to African-Americans — we should remedy it,” Mr. McAuliffe said in an interview Thursday, previewing the announcement he made on the steps of Virginia’s Capitol, just yards from where President Abraham Lincoln once addressed freed slaves. “We should do it as soon as we possibly can.” It’s said that an estimated 5.84 million Americans are denied the right to vote because of felony convictions.

Miley Cyrus to Coach Contestants on The Voice

Wag your tongues, take off your clothing and light one up, viewers of The Voice. Miley Cyrus has given you a reason to celebrate. With the artist already headed to The Voice this Monday for the start of the Knockout Rounds and to begin her stint as Key Adviser , Miley has confirmed that she’ll have an even more permanent role on the series next season. Look out, red chairs. The star’s rear end is coming your way! “It’s true! I am going to be the newest judge on Season 11 of The Voice @NBCTheVoice #thevoice,” Cyrus wrote as a caption to the above image. It’s only a guess, but we think this means Gwen Stefani will not return for Season 11 because there’s typically just one female coach per season. We wonder how Blake Shelton feels about that. We also wonder just what sort of reception the controversial Cyrus will receive. How will she fit in with Shelton and Adam Levine? Alicia Keys, meanwhile, was also announced as a coach for Season 11, which is scheduled to begin filming in September. She’s crazy talented, but she isn’t semi-crazy in general like Cyrus is, so this announcement has received far less fanfare. What do you think of Miley Cyrus joining The Voice in a coaching capacity? Will she make you more or less likely to tune in? View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus’ Weirdest Instagram Photos
