Professional wrestling may be fake, but one thing is now certain: The love between one person who makes a living in this business and another veteran cast member on Jersey Shore is very much real. It has now been confirmed on Instagram. Just one day after Jenni Farley’s new and mysterious boyfriend was identified as Zack Clayton Carpinello , the woman best known as “JWOWW” stopped sharing mere glimpses of her young lover and started to reveal his face to the world. And we can’t blame her. What a handsome face it is! “Stuck in traffic trying to get to Harry Potter World,” Farley wrote as a caption to a video of herself getting a kiss on the forehead from Carpinello last Friday. We took the above screen capture of the couple from this romantic footage. Thankfully, it appears as if Farley and Carpinello did eventually reach their fun destination, as the former went ahead and posted the following picture a short while later. “Best day ever @universalorlando,” she wrote as a caption to this second snapshot, adding: “I’ve been waiting 11 years to come back here and I’ve been dying to go to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I can’t wait to come back with my kids when they’re big enough #readyforuniversal.” And once Farley finally came fully clean and flaunted photos of herself and Carpinello on social media… she couldn’t stop herself! She kept sharing more and more and more and more, another one of which we’ve published here: Over the past couple weeks, Farley has strongly hinted that she’s involved with someone new. She previously teased the romance via a handful of date night pictures, none of which actually featured Carpinello’s name or face. But JWOWW did discuss the relationship on a podcast with Snooki last week, confirming that her lover was only 24 years old and that he was making her very happy. Farley also stated that Carpinello will at least be a subject of discussion on the new season of Jersey Shore; and it sounds like he may even make some appearances. The reality star filed for divorce from Roger Mathews last September. Things quickly turned ugly after a verbal altercation in the estranged couple’s home led to Jenni obtaining a restraining order against Roger. Since then, she has accused her husband of assault and abuse, while he has fired back that she’s a liar and a phony. It’s been pretty uncomfortable to watch, but at least the bickering exes put their anger aside and spent Easter together with their two young kids last weekend.

Zack is a breath of fresh air for Jenni and she is definitely on a pink cloud right now.” At least publicly, however, Mathews is taking the high road right now. “He seems like a terrific guy and they seem to really be happy, and I’m very happy for them,” Mathews told Page Six of Carpinello three days ago.

Source: John Shearer / Getty Harvard Grads Outrage Unearthed Blac Chyna’s Business School Hoax Earlier this week we reported that Blac Chyna was accepted into Harvard’s online business classes. Soon after , we reported that Chyna’s “acceptance” was a whole a$$ hoax. One which the internet is STILL mocking her for. Today, TMZ reveals WHY Chyna’s house of student ID cards came tumbling down. Apparently, Harvard graduates were NOT pleased with the idea that the “average Joe” could be enrolled in their school and be credited with one of their pretentious lil’ degrees. Harvard’s Board of Alumni says he received numerous calls from fuming alumnus who wanted the school to take action as they had been lobbying against the online business course for some time now. The outrage is said to have caused the school to investigate and ultimately out Chyna as a liar. It is said that a PR firm offered to take the class on Chyna’s behalf for just $1,000. This was a terrible idea on Chyna’s part, but something about angry white people descending upon her when clearly they have obviously taken issue with others in the past feels kinda gross.

London’s performance was relatable as she unveiled the ugly truth of being married to a successful basketball player who struggles with an addiction and infidelity, all while flashing her mesmerizing smile. Source: BET / BET While the cast is made of black Hollywood all-stars (including a few celebrity guests), it’s Lauren London’s character that we can’t get enough of, as Vanessa effortlessly makes us empathize with the often-idolized lifestyle of a glamorous yet constantly cheated on basketball wife. It’s clear that London’s own experience as a doting mother of two comes through in her role of Vanessa King, as she prioritizes her family both on and off screen. “Being a mother has changed my outlook on life,” the 34-year old actress recently told The Grio, “and I think that naturally filters into my work.” In the series premiere, we’re introduced to Vanessa and Marques King (Sarunas J. Jackson), a good looking and successful couple who seemingly have it all but struggle to keep their marriage in tact due to Marques’ compulsive cheating. In spite of their struggles, we see that Vanessa clearly loves her husband, or “King” as she calls him, and even puts her dreams of becoming a high-powered attorney on hold to become the perfect wife and mother that’ll help take her husband’s professional basketball career to the next level. Like so many wives and mothers in real life, Mrs. King is devoted to keeping her family together, but her constant sacrifices can’t seem to stop her husband from messing around with known side-chicks and groupies behind his wife’s back. As an escape from Marques’ persistent unfaithfulness, Vanessa turns to her sorority sister and gossip blogger friend, Nia Bullock (Karen Obilom), for support and a sense of familiarity in her new Los Angeles home. But in the age of social media and click bait, there’s no escaping that reality as Marques’ extramarital affairs will soon be made public through an exclusive interview with his mistress done by Vanessa’s BFF, Nia. Now, Nia is conflicted on whether to remain loyal to her girl or impress her boss by running the exclusive story about Marques’ cheating. The pilot episode started off with a bang and we can only anticipate that more drama will unfold in the weeks to come. Catch “Games People Play” Tuesdays at 8pm (EST) on BET.

Source: Jeff Kravitz / Getty It’s starting to look like maybe John Singleton’s health is more serious than we once though. According to TMZ , the “Boyz N The Hood” director is in a coma after suffering a stroke last week. The gossip site claims his mother Sheila Ward has filed papers in court asking a judge to appoint her temporary conservator because he is “unable to properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, clothing, or shelter.” Apparently, the 51-year-old did not have any directives on what to do with his health, so his mother stepped in. In addition, Wards claims that at the time of his health crisis, Singleton was in the midst of signing some “lucrative deals.” She now wants to handle his business affairs and sign any necessary contracts on her son’d behalf. When news first hit that Singleton had a stroke, his family told the press that it was “mild.” “On Wednesday, April 17th our beloved son/father, John Singleton, suffered a stroke while at the hospital,” a family statement read. “John is currently in the ICU and under great medical care.” Singleton checked into Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles after experiencing leg pain after a flight home from Costa Rica. Prayers up to John and his family right now. RELATED NEWS: Taraji P.

Last week, the world learned that Adele and Simon Konecki had separated after eight years together. Immediately, several big questions sprang to mind, not the least of which was, when can we expect the most epic breakup album of all time? We kid Adele out of love. No, what fans really wanted to know was how much will Adele be forced to pay Simon (Hint: it’s a lot), and what caused these two to call it quits. After all, it wasn’t so terribly long ago that Adele seemed to be head-over-heels for Simon, and vice-versa. But then again, a lot has happened in the eight years since Adele and Simon got together. The split was announced on Friday with the usual boilerplate statements from reps for the couple: “Adele and her partner have separated,” the statement read. “They are committed to raising their son together lovingly. As always they ask for privacy. There will be no further comment.” Needless to say, not a ton of information there. But while there’s been “no further comment” from Adele’s team, insiders close to the situation have offered valuable insights to the media. A clear picture is beginning to emerge with regard to what led Adele and Simon to their decision to part ways — and it sounds like it’s a familiar set of circumstances that afflicts many celebrity marriages. “They had a lot in common early on, but eventually they just grew apart,” an insider tells E! News. “She became a bigger and bigger star, and he was okay [with] being in the background, but as she got bigger and had massive tours and intense schedules, they just grew apart.” Like we said, it’s a tale as old as time. It’s basically A Star Is Born , except Simon got a nice big settlement check instead of punching his own ticket in the garage. Oh, um … spoiler alert for A Star is Born . The source claims the split came as a shock even to the singer’s closest friends: “Their marriage was clearly working for a very long time,” the insider adds. “Whenever she was out at big openings and special events, he was usually with her, and they looked really just happy together and in love.” The source believes both parties continued working on the relationship until the very end, saying: “They were into the marriage pretty much until they decided this just isn’t working anymore.” Fortunately, it sounds as though Adele and Simon are committed to keeping the split amicable for the sake of their son, 6-year-old Angelo. “It’s highly unlikely this is going to get ugly,” says the source. That’s a good thing. After all, Adele has an album to record. View Slideshow: 19 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces Ever: Where Does Jeff Bezos Rank?
The bitter divorce between Shannon Beador and David has gone on and on and is finally winding to a close. Though David recently tried to squeeze Shannon for money in order to reduce what he has to pay, the two appeared in court together. This time, it was to officially end their marriage after 17 long years. RadarOnline reports that The Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador and her estranged ex David Beador appeared in court together. On Monday, April 22, the acrimonious exes appeared in court. But even before their hearing began, the two appeared to be in conflict. Apparently they were both seen in heated negotiations alongside their attorneys as they ironed out details of the case. And then, of course, they entered the courtroom. The goal of appearing before the judge was to finalize their divorce after more than a year of contentious court battles. We do not yet know how Monday’s hearing went. Maybe they somehow managed to get it all out of their systems and reach an accord before they walked throught he courtroom doors. But … their history of relentless squabbling does make that seem less than likely. We’ll find out soon enough, we suppose. These two have been arguing about what most divorcing couples argue about: money and custody. He also tried to make the court force Shannon to never touch a drop of alcohol during visits with her kids, a ploy which got shot down by a judge. David has pleaded with the court to believe him when he says that he doesn’t have enough funds to keep paying Shannon. The $22,500 that he pays each month is both spousal support for Shannon and child support for their three teenage daughters. He was so angry when the payments were first ordered that he (reportedly) cut off the water to Shannon’s home, where his own daughters live. But now he may get his wish. See, David has insisted that he doesn’t make enough to keep paying Shannon like this. So far, that hasn’t flown. We last heard that the court’s forensic accountant says that his business is complicated, but that if support goes down, it will be by a small degree. On the other hand, Shannon is reportedly making bank. David claims that she’s raking in something to the tune of $900,000 for her role on The Real Housewives of Orange County . (For the record, from what we can tell from court documents, she makes under $600,000 per recent season, which is still a massive income ) If they dotted every I and crossed every T in finalizing their divorce on Monday, which we doubt … … Shannon spent nearly a year embroiled in a second lawsuit. She and Tamra Judge were being sued to the tune of $1 million by Jim Bellino. Yes, the ex-husband of Jesus Jugs had accused the pair of maliciously defaming him by, get this, saying unkind things about his business on a podcast. Well, Shannon won her part of that suit, and the judge ordered Jim to pay Shannon back for all of her attorney fees and court costs. Jim has been fighting that, insisting that her court costs were unreasonable. He’s still suing Tamra, however. View Slideshow: Shannon Beador Slammed by David’s Girlfriend in Scathing Callout
Source: CBS / CBS Tichina Arnold is clear: Never count her out, because she’s not going anywhere, but up. The actress, known for her iconic role as Pam on “Martin and having a career that has spanned more than three decades, is back on network television playing Tina Butler on the CBS hit comedy, “The Neighborhood.” Acting alongside the beloved Cedric the Entertainer , their freshman sitcom centers on how one African-American family adjusts to a white Midwestern family moving into their predominantly Black Los Angeles neighborhood. The season finale, which airs on April 22, tackles white privilege head-on by using humor to interrogate how Black and white folks get treated in certain spaces i.e a nearby snooty country club. Not surprisingly, Arnold is absolutely hilarious in it and the episode provides us with a much-needed lesson on motherhood, white privilege and the power of friendship. HelloBeautiful sat down with the seasoned actress to talk about the comedy’s finale, the importance of tackling issues of race through laughter and how blessed she feels to be working in the industry that she loves. HelloBeautiful: So, the first season of “The Neighborhood” wraps tonight! How are you feeling? Tichina Arnold: Oh, it feels great. It’s been such an amazing experience to be on this show and tonight’s episode is something special. HB: The season finale focuses on white privilege, which we know can be a heavy topic. Why is engaging in these conversations about race and gentrification with laughter important to you? TA: The show’s concept is loosely based on the life of the show’s creator Jim Reynolds. He was the new white neighbor and knows first-hand what these conversations and experiences look like, so what a better way to teach people and broaden people’s horizons and thinking through laughter? Laughter is great for the soul, it can help usher in life lessons and teach us how to get along and accept each other’s differences. HB: Did the topics from the season finale, especially around white privilege, spark any interesting conversations among the cast? TA: You know, the cast talks about this topic all the time. We’re pretty open and speak about it amongst ourselves, especially at the table reads, which is important. But the key for me is not take yourself too seriously [with the material] because that would make “The Neighborhood” a different show. But we definitely want to ask these tough questions and don’t shy away from them. We also want to know what our viewers think. We love to hear your opinions! HB: Did the topics the show addresses attract you to the role? TA: Most definitely! The idea of gentrification is real to a lot of people, including my own family, my parents. We lived in different neighborhoods that were gentrified by different cultures and it’s a huge change that a lot of people don’t initially accept. They worry about what it’s going to do, will it be good and how will these changes impact them. HB: And rightfully so… TA: Definitely. During the season, we see that Calvin was pretty resistant to that change and with good reason some of the time. [Laughs] But I also kind of see him like Archie Bunker—ignorant to certain things, things he’s never experienced. So it’s a journey for him, but also a means for him to teach others too. In one episode, he explains to Dave [played by Max Greenfield] how his family lived in that neighborhood for a very long time and when the white people moved in and then left, the town went down and the Black residents worked hard to keep it together. Now, that the white people are back, the area got better. There’s a frustration there and these are important points that need to be heard. HB: Speaking of Cedric, you two have such amazing chemistry on the show! TA: It’s been crazy…I’ve known Cedric for a very long time and he’s one of my favorite celebrity friends that I’ve never worked with all these years! So I was pretty excited about being cast with him on the show. It’s all love between us. And having a genuine love and respect with someone right there is a winning combination. You just can’t lose. Source: CBS / CBS HB: For your character Tina, what do you love about playing her? TA: Tina is so open and wants to learn more and that’s magic. I also love the relationship between Tina and Gemma [played by Beth Behrs ]. It’s not often that we see a white woman and a Black woman be friends [as equals] and have this organic relationship. We’ve gotten such a great response to them and it’s refreshing to see people from totally different ethnic backgrounds getting along and having fun with one another. HB: I recently saw that you have Beth have also become good friends in real-life too. TA: Our friendship has truly impacted my life. We have so much fun together and we are not afraid to ask each other questions. If there is something in the script [about white people] I just do not understand, I will ask her, “Beth, what is this? What is froyo?” [Laughs] And she’ll tell me it means “frozen yogurt.” And I’m like, “Oh, that’s a white girl thing.” We just laugh. But she is so kind-hearted and loud and she can even twerk. HB: The two of you are the queens of physical comedy on the show with Beth recently telling PEOPLE that she looks at y’all as Lucy and Ethel from “I Love Lucy.” TA: Ha! I’d say we are more Laverne and Shirley. But we LOVE physical comedy and to be able to do that on this show is incredible. We both were class clowns as little kids and Beth is so fearless. So to be able to act with someone who is the same way as you is amazing. And I can get wild. Like they will tell me on set, “Tichina relax, calm down!” But I can’t help it.

A post shared by Beth Behrs (@bethbehrs) on Apr 14, 2019 at 7:38am PDT HB: Why do you love to make people laugh? TA: When I was a little girl, in order in get out of trouble, I used to make my mother laugh so she wouldn’t punish me for whatever thing I had done. Then I realized that I loved to act a fool and make my family crack up. I truly believe that laughter is a wonderful gift and helps us live longer. HB: So…good news: “The Neighborhood” got picked up for a second season! Congrats. TA: Thank you! We were so happy and shocked, because with TV you just never know! But we’re ready for next season. HB: If you could have anyone guest star next season, who would it be? TA: Ooooh… Rita Morena ! I was able to act with her in “Happily Divorced.” She’s fantastic. Also, Garret Morris —who was on “Martin” with me and “Two Broke Girls” with Beth. It would be a little family reunion! We had Marla Gibbs on the show before and I like people like Marilu Henner (from “Taxi” and “Evening Shade”), actors who are established and have had long careers on TV. It’s always good to see them still working, because trust: Actors love to work. View this post on Instagram Try to #BeHappy with who you are… just ignore your friend screaming while you do it. Lmao at @johnnywright220 A post shared by TICHINA ARNOLD (@tichinaarnold) on Mar 26, 2019 at 6:56am PDT HB: Finally, looking at your 36-year career, did you ever expect you would be here? TA: I was pigeonholed for a minute in my career and not a lot people know that I wasn’t always working over the years. It was hard, but that’s the nature of the business. You have to keep proving yourself over and over again and through the work. For me, I always knew that I had a gift to give to the world and I never gave up. And in show business, you have to love it, even when it doesn’t love you back. You just keep going on, and here I am. The Neighborhood Season 1 finale airs Monday, April 22 at 8/7c on CBS.
