Maci Bookout and her husband, Taylor McKinney, are considered one of the quieter couples of the Teen Mom world. Sure, the McKinneys have endured their fair share of ups and downs over the years, but most of it has had to do with Ryan Edwards' addiction issues . Left to themselves without any drama-prone exes interfering, the couple keeps things pretty low key. And so, when Maci revealed that her daughter had been hospitalized, fans knew this was no cry for attention of the sort some of her castmates are prone to. In fact, many have jumped to the conclusion that whatever left 3-year-old Jayde laid up must have been something serious. Take a look: 1. Maci In the Hospital Maci Bookout revealed this week that her daughter Jayde has been hospitalized. Maci and her family have enjoyed an outpouring of support from Teen Mom 2 fans. 2. Jayde Recovers “Everything went good, now just recovering. #MissJaydeCarter,” Taylor captioned a series of Instagram photos of his daughter. 3. Father and Daughter Jayde famously has her doting father wrapped around her finger. Maci seems to enjoy documenting their close relationship on social media. 4. Instagram Star Jayde is a fan favorite on Instagram, where every adorable pic posted by Maci quickly racks up tens of thousands of likes. 5. Maci and Kids Jayde is Maci and Taylor’s only daughter. The couple also has a 2-year-old son named Maverick. Maci has a 9-year-old son named Bentley from her relationship with Ryan Edwards. 6. From Day One Like the McKinney clan, Maci’s followers fell in love with Jayde on the day she was born, so the news that she was recently hospitalized has been greeted with a tremendous amount of shock and concern.

Photo via SplashNews.com Travis Scott And Kylie Jenner Are Moving To Beverly Hills Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott are ready to settle down as a family and live in Beverly Hills, and they just dropped a fortune on their new, not-so-humble abode. TMZ has confirmed that the new parents recently purchased their first mansion together, and they will be residing in the Beverly Hills Post Office neighborhood of Los Angeles. They bought the crib for a whopping $13.45 million and they own the home as joint tenants–so they’re co-owners. Presumably, that means they went halfsies on the crib, but there’s no concrete info on how the two starts split the pay for their new home. This is the first property Kylie and Travis own together, but according to Kylie, it isn’t the first time the two of them will be shacking up with one another. Even though the 21-year-old mom currently lives in Hidden Hills with her best friend Jordyn Woods, she revealed in an interview a few months back that her and Travis, “never miss a night with one another.” Their new pad is absolutely beautiful, and the master bedroom alone is a whopping 2,300 square feet. Obviously, their house has every other luxury you could imagine, including a multi-car garage, a gym, a massage room and much, much more. Like we mentioned before, Kylie already owns a home by herself in Hidden Hills, and for that one, she dropped $12 million–so this new house is a bit of a family upgrade. That was her fourth property, and this will be her fifth. She also just recently listed a pricey plot of land for $5.55 mil. You can check out pictures of the new pad over on TMZ , looks like a pretty good place to raise baby Stormi and any other kiddos they might have soon.
At this point, we think it’s safe to say that the addition of Bristol Palin to the cast of Teen Mom OG hasn’t panned out quite way producers expected. Bristol was supposed to be a massive ratings magnet, a fact that’s evidenced by the fact that despite being a newcomer, she already gets paid more than any of the other moms . But thus far, audiences have proven mostly indifferent to Palin. There are many theories as to why this might be: Perhaps too much of the show’s target demographic is too young to recall Bristol’s rise to fame during the 2012 presidential election. Or perhaps they simply don’t care. Maybe those who said there was no need to tinker with the cast or replace the fired Farrah Abraham were right all along. Or maybe the show has simply run its course and it’s time to call it quits. Whatever the case, producers are still hoping that the choice to add Bristol to the cast will eventually pan out — and they’re doing everything they can to make that happen. On this week’s episode, viewers were re-introduced to Palin’s first infamous baby daddy, Levi Johnston, and drama ensued immediately. If you’ve been watching the show, you know that Bristol has talked a mountain of trash about Levi in her first few episodes. Bristol has described her relationship with Levi as “rocky” and accused her ex of not being a “solid” father figure in the life of their 9-year-old son, Tripp. She even claimed that Levi never watched Tripp overnight until the boy was 4 years old. Now, Levi’s current wife, Sunny Johnston, is coming to her husband’s defense in a major way. Johnston says that while Bristol is technically correct in her claim that Tripp never spent the night in his first years, she claims Palin is leaving out one important detail: The boy never spent the night with Johnston because Palin allegedly wouldn’t let him. “I asked Levi, he said that right after Tripp was born for a while. And then he wasn’t allowed to have him overnight,” Sunny wrote on Instagram following this week’s episode. “Then when they were engaged when Tripp was one-and-a-half [he] had a few weeks of overnights,” she added. “As long as I’ve been in the picture: Levi was never allowed to have Tripp overnight until the court ordered it when he was around three despite trying to be there for all the years prior.” One fan asked Johnston if she gets along with Bristol, and Levi’s bride was refreshingly candid in her response: “Okay I’ve gotten this a lot so I’m going to answer,” Sunny wrote. “Honestly, I never know what to expect so that’s hard to answer. I just pray for Levi and her to always keep striving to have a better co-parenting relationship for Tripp. “It’s never her and I unless I’m alone with Tripp,” Johnston added. “Always Levi and her, and every once in a while through a group text about Tripp.” So it sounds like we may be in for serious conflict between Bristol and Sunny. At this point, that’s about the only thing that could save Bristol’s career as a reality star. View Slideshow: Bristol Palin: Dakota Meyer Has Ditched My Son… and It Sucks!
Former 90 Day Fiance couple Molly and Luis are over. So over, in fact, that one of them has already moved on. Luis got married just a few months after their divorce, and now Molly is speaking out. She says that this marriage is proof that he was just using her to get into America. Molly Hopkins spoke to Us Weekly and says that Luis Mendez’s wedding is evidence that he is no good. “I feel it clearly shows he was possibly using me and my finances to get here,” Molly says. “Because,” she reasons. “Our divorce was final in May.” Their divorce was May 4 . Luis then got married in September, just four months later. “So he either already knew her and had a plan all along and I’m a fool,” Molly explains. “Or,” Molly says. “We are both fools if she doesn’t know him.” That makes sense. It does seem like either Luis had this woman on the side all along, or has simply moved on. Molly warns that Luis is not to be trusted “because I met Jekyll in the Dominican [Republic] and got Hyde here, or vice versa.” (For the record, Hyde is generally the bad guy) “Either way,” Molly wishes. “May it work out.” She explains that she gives this union her blessing “because I’m glad he’s gone.” As we previously reported, Luis gushed about his new bride. “I love this girl so much,” he shared. “She’s amazing.” Luis has yet to reveal his new wife’s identity. “The most amazing part was meeting her,” he raved. “Because she changed all life to happiness.” He says that he and Molly “have no contact.” Despite the contentiousness of their relationship, Luis doesn’t seem to outwardly harbor any ill will towards his ex. “I just want to be happy,” Luis claimed. That said, he wants to keep his distance. If Molly has a response to his marriage, he said, “I don’t want to know anything about it.” “But,” Luis continued. “If she wants to congratulate me, it’s OK.” Before speaking out, Molly did go on Instagram live and acknowledge that Luis had gotten married. “Oh yeah, for all of you who care,” Molly said. “I totally got used, but it’s all good “Yeah, he’s married to someone else,” she acknowledged. “She looks older than me, from the Dominican Republic.” “So all the people who thought I was crazy, his situation was pretty lovely,” Molly said of their erstwhile relationship. “I mean, we were together for two years, so it’s all good,” Molly concluded. “Oh God, it doesn’t hurt at all. I’m good. I’m so good.” At one point, it appeared that Luis was accusing Molly of abusing him during their marriage . Domestic violence is extremely serious. Even before that, a lot of people were convinced that Molly was no angel — but that Luis was just trying to use her. Some would say that two bad apples deserve each other. We would say that the entire world is better off with one fewer toxic relationship. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?
T allahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum delivered a powerful debate performance Wednesday night against his Republican rival for Florida governor Ron DeSantis . See Also: White Supremacists Release Anti-Andrew Gillum Robocall Featuring Monkey Sounds Gillum, who’s making a bid to become the state’s first African-American governor, shredded the GOP candidate with his sharp wit and piercing comments. Here are some of his best shots. Here are 5 takeaways from Andrew Gillum's second debate against Ron DeSantis for Florida governor… https://t.co/iIj6fKkA0j #RepresentTheVote pic.twitter.com/tI4UQjYrrm — NewsOne (@newsone) October 25, 2018 DeSantis’ racism When DeSantis was cornered on his close ties to racists, he began raising his voice and getting defensive. “As my grandmother used to say, a hit dog will holler.” He added this gem: “I’m not calling him a racist. But the racists believe he’s a racist.” As my grandmother used to say — a hit dog will holler. pic.twitter.com/kC34Ldd0is — Andrew Gillum (@AndrewGillum) October 25, 2018 Political divisiveness The candidates were asked whether the divisiveness in the nation’s political discourse has pushed some people to the edge, prompting actions like sending pipe bombs in the mail to high-profile Democrats. Gillum argued that DeSantis is part of the problem. He pointed to comments DeSantis made on Fox News in which he warned Floridians not to “monkey this up” by voting for his Black opponent. Soon after DeSantis blew that racist dog whistle, neo-Nazis began sending out robocalls that included jungle music and monkey calls in the background. “My opponent has run this race very close to the Trump handbook where we call each other names.” Teacher salaries Gillum noted that teachers’ salaries in Florida are ranked the 45th lowest of the 50 states. “If my grandmother was here, she wouldn’t just say that’s a shame, she would say that’s a crying shame.” Gillum called out DeSantis for telling lies about his policy positions “In the last debate, Mr. DeSantis lied 21 times. Now, today makes the 22nd, and we’ve just started this debate.” “Mr. DeSantis in the last debate lied 21 times. 21 times. And now today makes the 22nd and we just started this debate.” – @AndrewGillum #FLGovDebate pic.twitter.com/L6r7zXdpDE — Brynna Quillin (@brynnaquillin) October 24, 2018 Medicaid expansion and healthcare policy DeSantis tried desperately to defend his multiple votes in Congress to end Obamacare without having a suitable replacement. Gillum explained to the former congressman that healthcare is a top issue for Floridians. He recalled his childhood experiences. “I remember having to wait for the free dental clinic to come through my neighborhood to have my teeth cleaned.” DeSantis questioned the moderator’s data from the bipartisan Congressional Budget Office’s report that rejected the healthcare plan that the former congressman and his GOP colleagues promoted. Gillum delivered this zinger. “Mr. DeSantis could have a monopoly on his opinion, but he doesn’t have a monopoly on facts. Facts matter.” Corruption scandal One of the big questions before the debate rematch was how Gillum would respond to an onslaught from DeSantis over an FBI probe into possible Tallahassee government corruption, in which the mayor was reportedly not the target of the investigation. On Tuesday, text messages were made public about the source of tickets Gillum received to the Broadway musical “Hamilton” that appear to contradict his statements at the first debate on the issue. “In the state of Florida we have 99 issues, and Hamilton ain’t one of them.” The Republican taxes overhaul Gillum called the GOP tax overhaul that boosted the bottom line for corporations a failure for working class families. The Republicans promised that there would be a “magical trickle down” to poor people. Instead of a pay raise to working class families, the tax overhaul gave the nation something else. “They have drilled a deep hole into the national debt and working people haven’t seen any appreciable rise in their wages.” . @AndrewGillum delivered a powerful rejection of Trump's hateful politics of division at last night's debate for Florida governor. We're with Gillum! pic.twitter.com/FuO5cOLsFV — MoveOn (@MoveOn) October 22, 2018 Families continue to struggle financially While the Trump administration and Republicans tout falling unemployment rates, wages have not increased. “Forty-four percent of people in the state of Florida say they can’t make ends meet at the end of the month. Mr. DeSantis’ big donors may be doing just fine. They’ve got their yachts and boats. For the rest of the working people in this state, they simply want a wage they could live on.” Immigration “We’re not going to criminalize people of their personhood simply because you’re a brown-skinned person or that you speak a language that may be of a foreign tongue to Mr. DeSantis or you live in a neighborhood that may include more brown people. That doesn’t, in and of itself, subject you to racial profiling. That’s the essence of what he would be promoting.” SEE ALSO: Ron DeSantis’ Racist History Didn’t Just Begin With His ‘Monkey’ Attack On Andrew Gillum Megyn Kelly Hypocritical On Abuse Of Women [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3833255″ overlay=”true”]

They just cashed in more than $250 million from their latest tour. via: BillBoard They say it’s a marathon, not a sprint. But for Beyoncé and JAY-Z, it was both. Their sprawling On the Run II Tour finished with $253.5 million in the bank, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore.

Grandson is no more. Pete is nursing a broken heart and Ariana is trying to move on while coping with so much. A report says that Pete has been so desperate to fix things with Ariana that it became overwhelming. According to the report, Ariana had to finally block him to keep him from messaging her. RadarOnline reports that Pete’s attempts to reconcile with Ariana became too much, and that she allegedly blocked him. “She had to tell him straight up to leave her alone,” an insider claims. We understand that the urge to repair a lost relationship is strong, but we sincerely hope that Pete has not gone overboard. “He has tried contacting her and sending her gifts,” a source reports. “In hopes that she will change her mind and take him back,” “But,” the insider says. “That is not going to happen.” The report continues, explaining how Ariana is feeling at the moment. “Ariana is far too busy to focus on her past relationships,” the source says. That really makes this sound over and done. “And,” the insider continues. “She has learned a great lesson from this,” “Which is,” the source explains. “That she cannot give her heart away so easily” As was already reported, Ariana returned some particularly valuable items to Pete. One was the diamond engagement ring. The other was his father’s 9/11 dogtag. She has reportedly taken care of the two tattoos that she received during their relationship. “When she is done with something she is done with it,” the insider says. “And Ariana is now focusing on her career and family.” And speaking of Ariana’s family, they are reportedly “relieved” that this engagement has come to an end. Apparently, Ariana was taken aback by her family’s relief. “She had no idea how much everyone in her family didn’t like him until she broke it off,” the source claims. “And,” the insider continues, Ariana “was like ‘why didn’t you all tell me when we were together?’” It’s called being polite. We’ve all seen loved ones in relationships we didn’t like, but you just grin and bear it (up to a point) until they split. “But ultimately,” the source explains. “They just wanted to see her happy.” People also reports that Ariana’s family is breathing easy now that she is no longer engaged. “She threw herself into the relationship with Pete,” the magazine’s insider reports. “She is young,” the source admits. “But at least mature enough to realize this wasn’t the right relationship or the right time to get married.” (Quick note: some people so easily forget that Ariana is, in fact, a few months older than Pete. She’s the height of a fifth grader, but she’s an adult) “[Her loved ones] always thought the engagement to Pete happened way too quickly,” the insider adds. Well, it happened after just a few weeks of dating, so that’s fair. Apparently, those closest to Ariana had serious misgivings about the idea of her rushing to the altar. The source says of Ariana’s family that “They didn’t want her to get married to Pete.” “And Ariana never got to the wedding planning stage,” the insider reveals. The source explains that, simply, “It was all way too soon.” Sometimes diving in with your eyes closed and your head first doesn’t end well. The insider points out: “Ariana has had several stressful situations in the past couple of years.” That is an understatement. A terrorist bombing, the death of her ex, and being groped at a funeral on live television is … a lot. “She really isn’t in a position to make huge life decisions,” the source says. That might be a little infantalizing. She’s a grown woman. We’re sure that she knows her state of mind better than anyone. “Her family thinks she should just focus on work,” the insider says. “And not stress about other stuff.” As we all know, Pete is no longer living with Ariana . He has even joked about that in a recent public appearance. “Pete’s no longer at the house because why would he be?” another source tells People . “They broke up. He has no reason to go there,” this insider reasons, confirming: “Everyone on both sides are relieved it’s over.” On the bright side, this report casts doubt on RadarOnline ‘s claim that Ariana has blocked Pete. “Pete has moved out. They are in contact, but not dating,” the source reports. “Ariana is doing pretty well,” the insider admits. “Actually much better than expected.” We love both Ariana and Pete too much to be objective. But we certainly hope that things are amicable enough and respectful enough that no one has had to block anyone. Maybe they did rush into things, but that doesn’t mean that their whirlwind romance was a mistake. Perhaps it was exactly what they both needed at the time. Pete Davidson was engaged to one of the most beautiful, talented women on the planet. And we all know what Ariana got out of it.
