Source: Kathy Boos / Bravo TV Buffie Says Dr. Jackie Maliciously Made Light Of Her Fertility Issues A “Married To Medicine” newbie is calling out one of the cast OGs. Buffie Purselle who was seen on the new season alongside her good friend Joseline Herandez is putting Dr. Jackie Walters on blast. On the next episode of “Married To Medicine” Buffie will be seen looking on in horror as Dr. Jackie Walters lets a crowded room know that Buffie was “infertile.” According to Jackie she and Buffie can relate on that level because she’s had fertility issues following bouts with breast cancer. “4 years ago, I got breast cancer, said Dr. Jackie. “And the thing that we grow up, most of us wanting to do, you can’t do. And Buffie, you can relate. You’re infertile.” According to Buffie, the moment was intentional and malicious. She also corrected Dr. Jackie and said that she’s not infertile and has actually been pregnant multiple times but suffered miscarriages. “This was one of the most humiliating and painful moments in my life. I am proud that I was able to rise above my pain and embarrassment and conduct myself as the lady that my Mother and Grandmother raised me to be. When you first meet someone and they see that you are happily married they ask the inevitable question “do you have kids?” I always answer no. No – period. Then SOME people ask “why NOT” as if my husband I have done something wrong. I am then forced to explain my many failed attempts at motherhood. This is the level of discussion that Dr. Walters and I had regarding my CHALLENGES with fertility. To call another woman infertile is cruel. That word doesn’t begin to describe the type of person that I am. The clinical definition is that you are unable to GET pregnant. Well, I can and have gotten pregnant many times. I was just unable to carry my babies to full term. Additionally, it means that you bear no fruit. Well, I like to think that I have been a productive member of society and that my mark will be left through philanthropy. I believe that Dr. Walters said this with malicious intent because she could have said many other things about me if she truly wanted to relate to me. We are both successful businesswomen, we are both extremely organized, we both do a lot of charity work, the list goes on and on but she settled on this. And to date, she has NEVER offered me a sincere apology. I don’t want an apology from her anyway because she doesn’t think that she did anything wrong. A mouse has more emotional intelligence. For all of the people saying this is some sort of editing trick – sadly it’s not, it happened, and being forced to relive it on television and social media hasn’t been fun. Thank you to everyone for the positive words of encouragement. The kindness of strangers will never cease to amaze me. I’m fine. I’m tougher than I seem and this too shall pass.

Source: Patrik Lundin / Getty Kenyan marathoner Geoffrey Kamworor won the 2019 NYC Marathon on Sunday, coming in first place. This is the second New York City Marathon he was won in three years. The runner should be celebrating his win; however, it was his fashion choice that have left people skeptical. Kamworor was wearing the controversial Nike Vaporfly 4% sneaker, a shoe that boasts research that shows it helps runners go faster. Source: ALEX HALADA / Getty This shoe was also worn by Kenyan runner (pictured above) Eliud Kipchoge who wore the same shoes for the Vienna marathon, that allowed him to run it in under 2 hours, the fastest recorded time ever. However, his speed of 1:59:40 didn’t get counted as a world record because “it was not run under open marathon conditions and because it featured a dense rotation of professional pacesetters,” according to the New York Times . Kipchoge was also wearing these infamous shoes. Source: ALEX HALADA / Getty When Kamworor won the marathon this past Sunday in 2 hours, 8 minutes, and 13 seconds, there were cheers, but also whispers that the magical shoes had helped him cross the finish line. He was met by Kipchoge, who also is his team mate. Many marathoners and elite runners are switching to these shoes. In fact, Kamworor set the world record for fastest half marathon (58 minutes, 1 second) while wearing Vaporflys. Is this a coincidence? The 4% comes from the fact the shoe’s soles have an amalgamation of foam and carbon fiber plates which structurally help push runners forward for each stride. Researchers unaffiliated with Nike did a study in February of this year and found that the shoes improved runners’ stride and energy efficiency by 4% as compared to other running sneakers. Knowing this as well as the knowledge that recent world record holders have worn these shoes, makes one wonder if the sneakers are giving them an advantage. Kanworor was questioned regarding this at the 2018 New York City Marathon and answered, “I don’t think that the shoe is a factor. Provided that you are prepared, that you are training hard, you can run with any kind of shoe. So the shoe is not a disadvantagee to other people.” However, that’s not what research shows. Beauties, what do you think? Did the shoe give an unfair advantage? Sound off in the comment section!

Source: Peopleimages / Getty As a celebrity makeup artist, I’ve been asked quite often how frequently one should wash their personal makeup brushes. My response is always the same: Wash your brushes as frequently as you wash your pillow cases . However, how to wash them however, wasn’t always an easy reply. In the beginning, I remember attempting to wash my brushes with the same bar of soap that I used to wash my body. For me, it’s Dove ($6.19, target.com ). Since the product worked so well on my skin and kept me clean, surely it would break down the build-up on my brushes. Right? I tried this a couple times and found myself in the bathroom for far too long. Rinse after rinse it took too many tries to get my dingy brushes like new again. After a couple of tries, I realized that I was just going to have to use something stronger. The next best thing would be dish soap. That worked like a charm and got my dirty white brushes white again, but then I noticed them slowly loosing bristles over time. It was obvious to me that the dish soap was drying out the hair of my brushes. I’d spent a lot of money on those suckers and needed them to hold up! Not to mention, my Beauty Blender sponges ($20.00, macys.com ) that were $20 a pop STILL wouldn’t get cleaned by anything other than the official soap that the company makes. Those bars of soap ($16.00, ulta.com ) cleaned my brushes and blenders marvelously but they were not affordable, especially for how fast I was moving through the product. Thus, I like many other girls just gave up washing my brushes as often as I should. Oh come on! Don’t act like you haven’t gone a month or longer without washing your brushes! It’s easy to do when you realize how time consuming it can be and how costly it is to purchase soaps that are meant to wash the hairs of your brushes. Once I became a working makeup artist I gathered up a collection of brushes meant only for clients and realized that I’d have to come up with a solution for cleaning my brushes. I’d be using them on multiple faces and needed them to be clean for each use for sanitary purposes. After some trial and error I narrowed it down to baby shampoo ($4.99, target.com ) for my brushes and the official Beauty Blender bar of soap ($16.00, ulta.com ) for my Beauty Blender ($20.00, macys.com ). The baby soap was strong enough to get my brushes clean but not too strong that it would dry them out. Still, it took a few washings before I could get them to be REALLY clean. One day I was traveling with a client. I had been working with this particular celebrity for some time and I was in and out of hotels with her. I realized after a long day on set that I’d run out of my bar of soap to wash my Beauty Blenders. It was late and Sephora wasn’t open so I used my only option…the bar of soap provided by the hotel. Within seconds of working up a good lather I realized that this bar of soap was cleaning the hell outta that sponge better than the official bar of soap! I grabbed a white bristled brush and tried using the soap on it. In seconds the brush was back to white! SECONDS! With my baby shampoo it took a few washings! The next morning I approached a maintenance worker and asked for more soap for my room. She gave me one bar. “Do you think you could spare any more of them?”. By the end of my stay I’d racked up at least 10 bars. It wasn’t long before I realized that it wasn’t just that hotel’s soap that cleaned my brushes and sponges. It was ALL hotel soap. So why would hotel soap work but not my Dove soap?! Simply put, because its cheap. Cheap soap cleans brushes and sponges best. I put this theory to the test by going to the drug store and purchasing the least expensive bar of soap they offered: Dial soap at .99 cents a bar. Now, all of these years later, that is my go-to product to clean my brushes and my sponges. The best part? Dial soap ($1.99, target.com ) is antibacterial too. WIN WIN! The only down side is that it is somewhat drying. I counteract this conditioning my real hair brushes every now and again. It’s real hair so you can condition it! Pamper your brushes from time to time so they can keep pampering you!

Source: Rommel Demano / Getty Wendy Williams ‘ career in media has spanned over 20 years — and the fast talking, abrasive, Jersey girl is still the same old “say it like you mean it” Wendy from back in her radio days. People have been complaining for years about how Wendy is trash because of her opinionated persona. But the gag is, she has the highest rated morning talk show, which means folks are tuning in just to see the madness unfold. Most recently, Nicki Minaj called out the talk show host for being “demonic” and critical about the rapper’s recent nuptials. Wendy wasn’t always on TV and safe from getting hands put on her by pissed off celebs. Once upon a time, it was just her, her guest and a mic. But that still didn’t stop the media queen from coming at peoples’ necks. Hit the flip to check out some of the many time Ms. Williams almost got her behind handed to her on a platter. via GIPHY
Source: Jamie McCarthy / Getty Another year, another dummy… Teacher Suspended For Wearing Blackface Common Costume A teacher in California might be out of a job for a (surprise, surprise) BLACKFACE Halloween costume. CNN reports that an unnamed Milpitas High School teacher donned blackface to portray rapper Common for Halloween. The costume consisted of a turtleneck and black jacket and the teacher rapping lyrics like, “Opportunities limitless, possibilities senseless, what will you do? Millions of people, not enough to eat, what will we do? With AI, Microsoft technology, the future is up to you, you can do it. With AI. The future will blow your mind!” A video went viral of the costume and immediate action was taken. Milpitas High’s Principal Francis Rojas and MUSD Superintendent Cheryl Jordan said in a statement that the teacher, who has not been named, was suspended and now is under investigation for the “disparaging” act. “In a school community where we welcome learners and families from over 50 languages who represent cultures and religions throughout the world, and where our long-standing neighborhood, Sunnyhills, was established as the first city in the nation for planned integration, it hurts to know that this type of cultural insensitivity and lack of cultural awareness still hovers in the background,” reads the statement given to CNN. What. A. Mess. What do YOU think about another person wearing blackface for Halloween???
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Here’s a blast from the not so distant past. Atlanta rapper Gorilla Zoe was recently arrested for domestic violence for allegedly putting hands on his girlfriend. Not exactly the best way to jog everyone’s memory about your rap career. According to TMZ , Zoe got popped early Sunday morning (Nov. 3) in Monroe County, Florida after cops were summoned to La Siesta Resort by security. They say Zoe got into a physical altercation with a woman on his hotel room balcony. According to the police report, the former Boyz N Da Hood rapper was seen trying to shove the woman back into the hotel room, eventually knocking her to the ground. However, she managed to lock him out on the balcony while she was in the room. But this is only the start of the struggle. Zoe reportedly began kicking and punching the door, and the woman eventually let him back in. By this time the police arrived and witnessed the rapper “pinning his girlfriend” to the ground. And this is where the struggle expands exponentially. After the cops separated the not so happy couple, she reportedly began defending Zoe. She allegedly claimed they always argue when they drink. Nevertheless, Zoe was arrested for domestic battery, and posted $2500 bail about an hour later. Bruh… — Photo: Getty
Source: Image Press/Splash News / Splash News 21 Savage is currently caught in the middle of an immigration case that is putting a sizeable dent in his touring career. The Atlanta-based rapper is currently awaiting a court date to resolve his status and ability to travel abroad but at the moment isn’t allowed to leave the United States to do one of the more financially significant portions of his profession. TMZ reports : As TMZ reported … Savage was arrested in Atlanta back in February and placed in ICE custody. Turns out he entered the U.S. legally from the UK back in 2005, but his visa expired and he’s been here illegally for years. The rapper wasn’t even able to get a work permit for 8 months, which meant he couldn’t work domestically. He finally got one last month, so at least now he can work in the U.S. … but traveling out of the country is out of the question until he gets things cleared up with immigration. The outlet adds that immigration courts in Atlanta have been besieged by a record number of cases, causing an effectual logjam of sorts. It might be years before the 27-year-old star will have his case heard and he still faces potential deportation as well. — Photo: Splash News
Last Thursday, yes on Halloween, trouble came to paradise as Demi Burnett and her fiancee Kristian Haggarty both announced that they were calling off their engagement. And despite the many breakup rumors that circulated the two for months, mostly due to their lack of Instagram posts together and the fact that they hardly ever hung out, Bachelor Nation is still in shock and heartbroken for the former couple. The couple that viewers celebrated and cried for, including me, as they marked the very first same-sex proposal within the Bachelor franchise. *grabs tissues* We saw Demi go through a lot on Season 6 of Bachelor in Paradise , and even though she is usually a social media queen who always has more than enough to say, we completely understood when she revealed to the world that she needed to take a step away. “I’m not okay today and I’m going to take a break from social,” Demi tweeted shortly after the couple confirmed their split. “Thank you to everyone who is reaching out xx” According to an E! source, Demi and Kristian were not spending enough time together and eventually, it was the distance that drove them apart. “They were supposed to permanently move in together in L.A., and that never happened,” shared the source. When breakup rumors began surfacing, Demi got defensive and basically told Us Weekly to f–k off and mind their own business. However, she did drop that the two were living on opposite ends of the coasts. On top of the distance, it seems that certain family members didn’t quite approve of their pairing. Just one day before Kristian and Demi publicly split, Kristian’s sister Caitlin threw major shade at the BIP alum when she posted a revealing bikini photo to IG. “Not desperate at all…” the younger Hagarrty sister commented. ummm, ouch! Although they are no longer together, they are proud of their love story, which they explained in a lengthy and emotional joint statement. They wrote: “What has always been at the forefront of our relationship is love and care for one another. Our priority is doing what is best for us… We will forever be proud of the impact our love story has made and we hope it has helped others feel more accepted and confident within themselves.” “We hope it has helped others feel more accepted and confident within themselves… We hope it reminds others they aren’t alone and don’t need to be ashamed of who they are.” And as for Demi’s future, maybe this means the role of The Bachelorette is in her cards ?? Who knows! But it only took the franchise 23 years to show an openly gay contestant, I’m sure they’re ready to switch things up a bit and offer a show that represents all people. IDK, just a thought!

Throughout Jersey Shore ‘s original run, Jenni Farley did her best to steer clear of the drama. Sure, she might step in and casually cold-cock someone when the situation calls for it, but for the most part, JWoww preferred to quietly collect her MTV checks and leave the overwrought displays of emotion to her co-stars. But as we all know, sometimes drama finds you, and Jenni’s life has been loaded with conflict in recent months. The latest dust-up involves Farley’s boyfriend, Zach Carpinello, and his decision to grope Angelina Pivarnick , while a drunken Jenni slept mere inches away. Farley dumped Carpinello when she first saw the footage (captured by Jersey Shore cameras), but now they’re back together, and it’s a whole mess. But before that debacle, Jenni was dealing with even more intense drama as a result of her divorce from Roger Mathews . What initially appeared to be an amicable split has devolved into a nightmare of a protracted divorce, complete with revelations that Roger was abusive to Jenni during the final months of their marriage. Unable to keep the drama off camera any longer, Jenni opened up about these struggles during a recent episode of Shore . “We were talking about regrets earlier, and I’ve been thinking about the biggest one,” she said to Snooki, who promptyl blurted out, “Roger. He’s the f–king worst. But you always knew it wasn’t right.” “Yup,” JWoww replied. Jenni put a positive spin on the situation, noting that if it weren’t for her time with Roger, she wouldn’t have her two kids. “They’re my bliss,” she said, “as I’m suffering.” “I’m going through it with the divorce,” she later added in a later confessional segment. “It’s been like almost a year since I filed. When you get a divorce, you’re supposed to be celebrating and like start a new chapter, but it’s really heartbreaking,” Jenni said. “And it’s stressful, the up-and-down battle of figuring out custody issues. I just don’t know when it gets better. It’s more than exhausting; it can like mentally break someone. I just want peace.” Understandably upset at being called “the worst” on national TV, Roger responded in a statement issued to Us Weekly : “You don’t spend almost a decade of your life with only one person then just never care about them again,” he said. “You can act like you do but you’re probably lying,” Mathews added. “Hatred spawns from love.” To be fair, Jenni never actually said that she hated Roger, but it’s not hard to see how he might have surmised such animosity on the basis of her comments. But while we can see why Roger might be offended, he really doesn’t have any right to be. The best thing he could do at this point is take a tip from old-school JWoww and just take a seat on the sidelines while the drama unfolds.
