We may hear wedding bells sooner than we think from Jersey Shore’s Sammi Giancola and her boyfriend Christian Biscardi ! The two have been dating for a year and a half, and a close friend of the star shares that Sammi is going to be getting engaged in the very near future! For all of you Sammi and Ronnie fans (if there are any), it’s now time to grab the tissues. Ronnie Magro, who recently split with his ex , Jen Harley, following an alleged bloody fight in early January, is not taking the idea of an ‘engagement’ too well. Do we expect him? I mean Sammi and Ronnie were together (on-off) for EIGHT years and the poor guy just went through hell with his ex. The insider says, “Ronnie knows it’s coming” and he isn’t ready. “He still feels like Sammi was the love of his life and the one that got away. It’s very hard for Ronnie to see Sammi so happy with Christian and some friends think that is why he stayed with Jen for so long.” Ronnie’s close friends worry that when it does come he will have a very hard time dealing with the news and “that there’s a huge part of Ron that still loves Sammi and it hurts to know his chances with her are over,” the source added. While Sammi and Biscardi plan for the next steps in their relationship, a source confirmed that the couple already moved in together over the summer. They are both “fully committed and ready” to spend the rest of their lives together. “She’s really excited to begin the next chapter of her life with Christian,” says Hollywood Life source. So much so that she even turned down the MTV spin off, Jersey Shore Family Vacation , back in April! Jersey Shore Family Vacation: New Trailer Released! She later explained her absence was to “avoid potentially toxic situations.” Anyone who has seen the show can probably agree that she was referring to her ex, Ronnie. (and multiple nights of bar fights) Her statement continued: “I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my business and my relationship. I am not the same as I was when I was 22. At 31, I am extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially awkward situations.” And avoiding the situation is exactly what she did… She even skipped out on Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s wedding on Nov. 1. However, we learn from Sorrentino that she did send a “very heartfelt, sweet gift.” So, it’s not like she skipped the event altogether and just didn’t care. Instead, Sorrentino says it was likely because “the cameras were there, she opted not to come.” It sounds like Sammi is enjoying and focusing on her new life out of the spotlight and come on, she has way better things to do anyway! Like plan a wedding, perhaps?

The news was confirmed by her publicist Harlan Boll who spoke to Broadway World. “It is with extreme heartache, that I have to announce the passing of an original Industry Pioneer, Legend and Icon – Miss Carol Channing.

We supported each other, cried with each other, argued with each other, but always ended up laughing with each other.

Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX “The Passage” Actress Caroline Chikezie Says The Show Is Full Of Black Girl Magic Tonight FOX is set to air their new show “THE PASSAGE.” which focuses on Project NOAH, a secret medical facility where scientists are experimenting with a dangerous virus that could lead to the cure for all disease, but also carries the potential to wipe out the human race. When a young girl, Amy Bellafonte (played by Saniyya Sidney, who was in Fences’ and ‘Hidden Figures’) is chosen as a test subject, Federal agent Brad Wolgast (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) is tasked with bringing her to Project NOAH, but ultimately becomes her surrogate father who does everything in his power to protect her. The show also stars British actress Caroline Chikezie who also appeared on the cable series “The Shannara Chronicles,” the streaming series “The Governor,” which was filmed in Nigeria and in the award-winning film ‘Babymother.’ Chikezie was also featured in “Eragon,” “Aeon Flux,” “Breaking and Entering” and “The Sweeney.” We spoke with Caroline about her role as Major Nichole Sykes, the many instances of black girl magic on “The Passage” and filming in Atlanta vs. filming in Nigeria. Check out our interview below. Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX BOSSIP: Tell us about what drew you to this show and this role? Caroline Chikezie: It all started when I got the script for the pilot. I loved it and as I read it I could just see myself being Dr. Sykes, so that’s always a good thing. I just auditioned and got to be the last woman standing. My character is a very complicated individual. She’s a King because she commands men, and is fearless. Very fearless. The type of person you’d want to have on your side in a crisis situation, she’s very cool under pressure. She understands that there will be consequences for decisions she makes and is willing and capable to accept whatever fallout comes from her decisions. She’s a bad a**. A strong, black woman unapologetically. BOSSIP: Black girl magic was such a big thing in 2018. Could we touch a little on that and how the show taps into it with your character and Saniyya Sidney’s character Amy Bellafonte? CC: First of all, Saniyya is a movie star. I wouldn’t even call her a princess, I’d call her a queen. She’s so mature. Acting is just so effortless to her. It’s just awesome to watch her grow and when you think black girl magic there’s nothing more magical than Saniyya Sidney as the lead role Amy and my role as Major Nichole Sykes. For young girls watching we’re giving the opportunity to show that we are capable of anything. When I was growing up, we could only get the best friend role, or the role where we are killed, or hurt, or a lowly girl. Not that any role is lowly, because it is an honor to be cast when working as an actress, but just like finally we get to be represented as strong woman roles because that’s our rightful pace. We should be celebrating it, so I’m grateful. Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX BOSSIP: Why should Bossip readers be interested in watching “The Passage”? CC: It’s got something for everybody! You’ve got the big heart, you’ve got a love triangle. My character is involved in a love triangle — we’ll see how that unfolds. There are a lot of characters I feel like your readers can connect with. Like mine and her journey through the show. How she handles being in an interracial relationship, how she navigates being a boss lady in a white environment. There’s loads of issues I think readers can relate to. BOSSIP: Is there anything you’ve learned that would be useful in an apocalyptic event? CC: I had to do some shooting practice, because my character uses guns, so I’ve learned that. Also, my character is a runner so if there’s ever an apocalypse I’ll be able to run! Source: Michael Lavine/ FOX / Michael Lavine/ FOX BOSSIP: What are the pros and cons of shooting in Atlanta vs. filming in Nigeria? CC: I love shooting in Nigeria, because of the food mostly. I’m British-Nigerian. The closest I’ll get to feeling like I’m home in America is shooting in Atlanta. I love Atlanta, in fact, I plan to move there. I was born and raised in the UK. Check out a fun video of Caroline and her costars from “The Passage” below: “The Passage” airs tonight Monday, January 14 on FOX. Will you be watching?

So much has happened since Part 1 of the 90 Day Fiance Tell All special , but Part 2 aired on Sunday night. Notably, TLC’s censors stopped bleeping out obscenities about halfway through the broadcast, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Our favorite part was probably Leida and Eric getting scolded by just about everyone. Let’s start with, dare we say it, Colt and Larissa . We have had so, so much to say about Coltee and Larissa over this past week, in large part due to their bloody fight and divorce . Though this Tell All was filmed last year, the couple manages to take center stage there, too. Why? Because they are deeply controversial and not well-liked. When everyone returns to stage, Steven and Jonathan discuss the idea of not even responding to Colt and Larissa. Steven dismisses them as “trash,” and you know that you’ve f–ked up when Steven has the moral high ground. Larissa speaks about her arrest — at the time, she had only been arrested once, in June 2018. Since then, she has been arrested two more times. Colt expressed a fear that Larissa would be deported. For the most part, they could not speak out about it for legal reasons. Every attorney’s worst nightmare is for their client to go on television and say anything at all that could be used against them in court. That’s out of the way, and it’s time to address Eric and Leida . We’ve actually been chomping at the bit to talk about Eric and Leida, because Tasha was on the Tell All. Tasha is Eric’s 19-year-old daughter with whom he was roommates … until, at Leida’s insistence, he kicked her out of her own home. Tasha’s okay and living with friends, but things are extremely tense. In fact, Tasha tells (the incredibly patient) Shaun Robinson that she “doesn’t have” a relationship with her father anymore. She says that he broke off all ties with her. Eric counters: “That’s not true. All I said is that I have nothing to say until I get an apology.” Shaun asks the very understandable question: for what does Eric demand that Tasha apologize? Eric says that it’s for “the mess.” That’s right, this is all about the apartment being slightly cluttered when Leida first arrived. He also says that Tasha “lied” by saying that about half of the mess was her father’s. It sounds like Eric threw Tasha under the bus and is just doubling down on that story to appease Leida. Tasha’s response is to simply raise an eyebrow, while Kalani — a parent herself — turns to give Eric a look of wide-eyed judgment. Overall, Kalani really really has the best take on Eric’s whole situation. Eric seems to want his teenage daughter to both restructure her entire life for him — which parents expect their minor children to do. At the same time, he very clearly wants Tasha to be an adult when it’s convenient for him — paying bills and working. “You guys are wanting her to be an adult,” Kalani says. “And pay bills and do this.” But, as Kalani points out, if Tasha is an adult, she can have her room and, frankly, her home as messy as she damn well chooses. Eric put Tasha in a no-win scenario and he seems stubbornly willing to lose his entire family over it. But Eric dismisses Tasha (and Steven) and tries to fit as many anti-Millennial buzzwords as he can. Nice try, dude. Okay, so then there’s Kalani and Asuelu . Asuelu, as Kalani has noted, has a sassy side to him. He really does not like Colt and Larissa, and he is a generally friendly person. Asuelu ended the Tell All with a Samoan dance, which is incredibly charming but made some people uncomfortable. The line between “I am appreciating his culture” and “they made this man of color dance for their amusement” can be tricky. Either way, best of luck to Kalani and Asuelu, who are fan favorites and who are expecting their second son — another boy. Jonathan and Fernanda seemed all good, aside from when Jonathan had to sort of stiff-arm Jay away. Jay said some very flattering things about Fernanda as an example of class and beauty. Like … we’re not saying that he’s wrong, we’re just saying that he is literally married to Ashley and needs to tone down his horniness by at least 20%. Obviously, since this was filmed, Jon and Fernanda have split. Jon recently revealed that he has not spoken to Fernanda since December 22. She apparently said some things to him that he is not willing to forgive, and he considers their relationship over. That’s … sad. (Also, just to address worries, Colt referred to Fernanda as a “16-year-old bride,” but she was already 18 when she and Jonathan met) Ashley and Jay had a host of issues that were mostly dealt with in Part 1 of the Tell All. Jay cheated on Ashley, signing up for Tinder right after their wedding. She caught him cheating on FaceTime three days later. That’s a nightmare, but Ashley was kidnapped at 19 and is also battling lupus. She has bigger fish to fry than her cheating husband. She does sound unwilling to send Jay packing to Jamaica, which is very nice of her. But she’s also not willing to just stay married on paper for him to horndog around with other women. Steven and Olga weren’t both on the show, because of Steven dragging his feet when applying for Olga’s visa. That is still weird and will always be weird, but it’s not as bad as him getting jealous of his own baby over Olga’s attention. We will say that this part of the Tell All showed Steven’s better side. He made good points about Eric and Tasha (though anyone can look reasonable compared to Eric). Most importantly, the dude apologized to Olga at the end, over Skype. That is important. That’s growth.

It’s a complicated situation, but Kourtney Kardashian is finally cool with Sofia Richie . Both gorgeous women went on a group vacation with Scott Disick for the sake of Kourtney and Scott’s three young children. But a new report says that Kourtney has come away from the experience convinced that Scott is about to propose to Sofia — or worse. HollywoodLife spoke to an inside source who says that Kourtney is bracing herself for big news. “Kourtney is freaked out about the idea of Scott proposing to Sofia,” the insider reveals. To be honest? A lot of people would be taken aback by it. After all, Kourtney and Scott were together for nine whole years without getting married. “The closer Kourtney, Sofia, and Scott have all become over the holidays,” the source says. “The more Kourtney realizes how in love Scott is with Sofia.” The three of them went on a shared vacation, which was very sweet but perhaps a little awkward at times. “And,” the insider states, Kourtney realized “that a proposal could be right around the corner.” “While Kourtney is happy to see Scott so grounded, stable, and in a healthy relationship,” the source begins. The insider continues: “it also scares her to think that she could might lose him forever.” Wait, what? We thought that she and Scott had already lost each other forever when the broke up and moved on. “In the back of her heart,” the source explains. “She always thought about maybe having more kids with Scott.” Technically, that would still be possible — sperm donation for her frozen eggs. No banging-your-ex required. “Or,” the insider says, Kourtney had allegedly dreamt “that one day they might get back together.” “However,” the source says. “Kourtney knows how unpredictable and romantic Scott can be.” She would know better than anyone, right? “So,” the insider continues. “Kourtney is bracing for the shocking surprise that Scott gets engaged to Sofia.” It could be more than just an engagement, though. “Or worse,” the source says, what if Scott “suddenly elopes with her.” That, the insider says, would be something “which would traumatize Kourtney.” Now, we cannot confirm Kourtney’s thoughts about Scott. Maybe she’s happy that Scott has moved on and is totally chill about Sofia. Or, maybe Kourtney is waking up in a cold sweat and checking her phone to see if Scott and Sofia have suddenly eloped. We don’t know. Only Kourtney herself can tell us, and she obviously would not choose to voice her fears to the world. But if this is on her mind, she is not the only one who is very conscious of how close Scott and Sofia have become. If Kourtney really is feeling like she’s losing Scott forever, what should she do? One, she could tell him, which would probably cause problems in his current relationship — even if it’s too late. It would be massively unfair to Sofia and arguably to Scott. Two, Kourtney could choose to not make her feelings any of anyone else’s business. That is the mature and respectful thing to do, but not necessarily a recipe for her own happiness. Maybe the best ending for these three would be some sort of polyamorous arrangement where both Kourtney and Sofia are dating Scott. That said, not everyone is wired for polyamory — just as not everyone is wired for monogamy — and that is totally okay. We just want for everyone to be happy and stable.

Nevertheless, the Brooklyn troll rapper is making the best of his time, creating music and getting healthier. Silver linings, right? Reports TMZ : Sources close to 6ix9ine tell TMZ … Tekashi’s spending most of his time behind bars writing and producing songs for his next album. He’s even created visuals for the record. We’re told the circumstances of his incarceration have worked in his favor. On the negative side, he’s facing possible life imprisonment for the various charges, and the negative forces have inspired some serious writing. On the positive side, the rapper’s getting strong support from family, close friends and girlfriend Jade, who proudly displayed this butt grab behind bars. 6ix9ine’s been working out and is actually healthier now than before he was locked up. Still no word on whether or not Tekashi will be granted bail anytime soon. His trial is scheduled to start in September.
Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Rapper Cam’ron Has A New Boo It looks like Dipset rapper Cam’ron has finally found a boo after breaking up with JuJu. We can’t confirm if it’s the real or a fling, but Cam and a woman named Tawasa Harris have been spending lots of time together, according to her Instagram account. The two even brought in the New Year together, watching Bird Box. This is them, Netflix and chilling: Tawasa also posted this photo of her self with the caption: “Thanks for making me this Happy everyday @mr_camron.” Previously, Cam’ron dated JuJu for over a decade, after meeting in 2002. About the breakup, Cam said it was mutual because it stopped being “fun” “Yeah but you know basically it was kinda mutual,” said Cam’ron. “For me it just wasn’t fun anymore, I met JuJu in 2002, she was my friend before we started being serious. That was my homegirl and everything was fun. Once Instagram came out, I”m the one promoting her on Instagram, marketing her, showing her body, showing how beautiful she is without being too distasteful about it—[but] basically, it stopped being fun.” Interestingly enough, Cam has also known Tawasa for around 20 years. He just posted this throwback video of them from 15 years ago, chilling in London. What do you think of Cam’s new boo from his past, Tawasa?
Source: Scott Legato / Getty R. Kelly’s Lawyer Confirms His Client Married Aaliyah At 15-Years-Old R. Kelly has finally confirmed to the public that he was indeed briefly married to Aaliyah –well, through his lawyer, at least. Steve Greenberg appeared on Good Morning America in an effort to address the recent allegations of rape, abuse, and sexual misconduct that are being stacked up against his client following the Lifetime docuseries, Surviving R Kelly . When Kelly’s representative was asked if his client had ever been in a relationship with a woman who was below the age of consent, he replied that the singer ‘absolutely’ denied being with any underage girls, which was quickly called into question. “Was he married to Aaliyah when she was 15?” asked reporter Linsey Davis. Greenberg replied, surprisingly admitting that Kelly did marry her, but deflecting onto another famous relationship. “He was married to her when she was 15. Elvis was married to Priscilla,” replied Greenberg, who did not pause or miss a beat. This was a reference to the marriage of Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla, who was almost 22 when she married the rock star, which she completed with her parents’ blessing. The reported continued to hound Greenberg on the subject saying, “So then, 15 is not of the age of legal consent, right?” But of course, Greenberg had an excused for Kelly, claiming he wasn’t in the wrong here because Aaliyah was dishonest. “Right except my understanding is that she did not claim to be 15. And in order to get married she had to lie about her age,” claimed the lawyer. “And he is saying he had no idea?” inquired Davis. To which Greenberg confirmed: “No idea.” But Aaliyah’s age still isn’t the only thing that’s disheartening about her relationship with Kelly. Jim DeRogatis , the reporter who has pursued the sexual and physical abuse allegations against R. Kelly since 2000, was a guest on the New York Times’ podcast series The Popcast with host Jon Caramanica last year. During the conversation, DeRogatis recalled when he first went through the documents that related to R. Kelly and Aaliyah’s annulment. “The annulment of the Aaliyah marriage and Aaliyah’s legal claim against him had been sealed in Detroit…they were sealed by the court but those documents were provided to me,” DeRogatis revealed . “It’s a harrowing document, a non-disclosure agreement on both her part and Kelly’s, vowing not to pursue further legal claims for physical abuse. So it wasn’t just an underage sexual relationship, he hit her, allegedly, according to that court document.” The marriage was reported by Vibe magazine shortly after the release of Aaliyah’s debut album, Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number . The magazine found that the official Illinois wedding certificate falsified Aaliyah’s age, listing the late singer as 18. But the aforementioned document–vowing not to pursue further legal claims for physical abuse against Kelly–hasn’t really been mentioned when discussing various allegations, even in the Surviving R. Kelly documentary series that has been the catalyst for all the current R. Kelly conversations. Continue reading →
