Congratulations! Kandi Confirms That She’s Found A Surrogate To Carry Her Baby Girl

Prince Williams/ATLPics.net Congrats! Kandi Says She’s Having A Baby Via Surrogate Kandi’s getting her wish to have another baby. As previously reported the RHOA star said she was hoping to conceive with her husband Todd Tucker but was having difficulty getting pregnant. “You know how we all just think it’s easy?” said Kandi to ESSENCE. “You’re going to get pregnant whenever you feel like it?” she asked rhetorically, laughing. “For years and years, I was on birth control [and I] didn’t even know that I didn’t need it anymore.” Now she’s revealing that she’s taking a different route and will use a surrogate to have baby number #3. This comes after she revealed on RHOA that she has two frozen girl embryos ready to use. She tells US Magazine: “Yeah, yeah, we’re moving forward,” said Kandi, 42. “We’ve decided we wanted to … get a surrogate.” Burruss dished: “We did find someone, and right now we are in the process — you know it hasn’t been done — but we’re in the process.” Good for Kandi, we know Riley isn’t pleased considering she was on RHOA shunning her parents from having another kid, but this is GREAT news. Baby Ace is going to be a big brother. Kandi also told US that she’s nervous about the process and doesn’t have any friends to turn to for advice about surrogacy. “Like, I don’t have anybody who can tell me [about it]. When we were going through the IVF process, I did have a couple of friends who had done it, so, you know, I could talk to them, but this is a situation where I don’t have anybody I can talk to.” While Kandi won’t have any friends who’ve been through surrogacy, she can later bond with her buddy Kenya Moore whose recovering from a cesarean delivery of her daughter Brooklyn Doris Daly. Kandi recently sent Kenya some flowers during her recovery. Congratulations Kandi!

Jesus Take The Wheel: Uber Driver Charged With Manslaughter After 15-Year-Old Passenger Dies

Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images Uber Driver Gets Charged With Manslaughter For Death Of Teenage Passenger A 29-year-old  Uber driver has been charged with manslaughter after a teenage passenger he let ‘car surf’ on the roof of his vehicle fell to his death. Ryan Mullen, 15, had been ‘car surfing’ on the roof of the Danyal Cheema’s vehicle on September 23 in Huntington. He ended up falling and subsequently suffered a traumatic brain injury, dying hours after he arrived at a friend’s house following the ride, Suffolk County District Attorney Tim Sini said. The whole situation began when they went to a 7Eleven store and, according to Sini, they asked the driver to car surf. “ This was an incredibly bad decision by the defendant, a bad decision by the boys involved, obviously,’ Tim Sini said. “ But at the end of the day, that defendant is an adult contracted to safely bring those boys home, and he failed to do that.” The driver, 24-year-old Danyal Cheema, is now being charged with second-degree manslaughter and was arraigned in Suffolk County Criminal Court on Monday morning. He made no comment at the proceeding and was ordered held on $200,000 bail. Along with the charge, his license was also suspended. The incident took place just after midnight in Huntington Station on September 23. Prosecutors have said that Mullen was with two other teens and that Cheema accepted $40 to allow Mullen and another teen to “car surf” on the roof of his Toyota Highlander SUV. He was said to be driving at 30 miles per hour when Mullen fell off the roof. Instead of taking the injured teen to a hospital, Cheema drove him to a friend’s house where Mullen died later that night. The medical examiner’s office ruled the young boy’s cause of death to be blunt force trauma to the head. His parents, Janice and Matt Mullen, said they don’t want any family to suffer a loss similar to theirs again. Janice told  ABC7 Eyewitness News : “This can’t happen again, no one should have to go through this pain.” In a statement on the incident, Uber said: “Words cannot describe how deeply troubled we are by this incident. Our thoughts are with the rider’s family during this difficult time. This driver has been permanently removed from the app.”

Seen On The Scene: Demi Lovato Spotted In Beverly Hills After Rehab Stint

Source: C Flanigan/Getty Images Demi Lovato Out Of Rehab Following Near-Fatal Drug Overdose Demi Lovato has been spotted out of rehab and we’re hoping it’s a solid sign that she is doing better. The famed singer had fans, friends, and family worried when she was rushed to a hospital after overdosing at her home in Los Angeles back in July. Now, in photos obtained by TMZ , she looks sober and happy. The site reports: Demi hit up Matsuhisa restaurant in Bev Hills Saturday night. We’re told she and a guy were having a great time inside the super expensive sushi joint, happy, smiling and laughing through dinner. We don’t know who the guy is … but she definitely had a great time with him. The mystery man seen in the photos with her is reportedly clothing designer,  Henry Levy. Demi was in rehab for 90 days, beginning in August, and according to the site she took her time there very seriously. Before going through treatment, Demi addressed her fans in a statement . I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet. I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at  Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you. I now need time to heal and focus on my sobriety and road to recovery. The love you have all shown me will never be forgotten and I look forward to the day where I can say I came out on the other side. Let’s keep her in our prayers.

#RHOA Porsha Says She & Her Fiancé Fell In Love On The First Date—But Does He REALLY Know Kandi?

Prince Williams/WireImage Porsha Williams Talks Dennis McKinley, Did Dennis Date Kandi? During last night’s RHOA premiere fans met Porsha’s husband-to-be Dennis McKinley. Porsha gave fans their first full look at the love of her life who owns several hookah lounges and is a hotdog mogul. According to Porsha, they fell in love SUPER fast—as in on the first date and haven’t looked back since. Now they’ve been dating for five months and are looking at rings ranging from 6 karats to 10 karats ranging in price from $145,000 to $552,000 because Dennis “sold 2,000 hot dogs last week,” so there’s no budget. Things got especially interesting however when Kandi and Dennis traveled to Miami for a girls trip to surprise NeNe at her boutique opening. When Porsha brought up her fellow housewife Kandi, Dennis got visibly uncomfortable. Porsha: “You know Kandi? Dennis: “Yeah.” Porsha: “You met her before? Where?” Dennis: “I don’t know.”   Fans are now adamant that Dennis REALLY knows Kandi—and that Porsha should be ready for some drama.
