Florida Man Accused Of Killing Mistress And Her Unborn Son A married father from Florida is being accused of killing his mistress, who was 8 months pregnant with a child authorities say he fathered, according to reports from PEOPLE . 41-year-old Jose Soto-Escalera is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the death of Tania Wise, 23, whose body was discovered in a ditch on August 24, St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Bryan Beaty confirmed to the publication. Beaty reports that Wise suffered blunt force trauma to the back of her head as well as trauma to her throat, though authorities have not yet released her official cause of death. An arrest affidavit obtained by PEOPLE states that a witness told police that Soto-Escalera had given Wise $500 for an abortion, and was very angry that Wise didn’t end up getting one. According to the affidavit, the Florida man denied to police that he was in a sexual relationship with Wise and said instead that he was at another person’s home fixing a car battery on the night she was killed. Soto-Escalera was arrested on September 21. A statement from the sheriff’s office states that digital forensic evidence connected the suspect to the crime, along with an eyewitness’ confirmation of seeing his truck near the crime scene. Authorities believe that the man’s wife was unaware about his relationship with Wise, the affidavit states. Sheriff Ken Mascara told Treasure Coast Newspapers , “We know that he was the father of the baby, we know that she had some other individuals in her life, men in her life. We don’t know if jealousy was a motive, we don’t know if there was other motives involved.” Mascara also told the paper that the woman was scheduled to have a C-section the week after her body was found, also saying that Soto-Escalera did not seem remorseful what-so-ever to police when he was arrested. Wise was pregnant with what would have been her second child. Soto-Escalera is now being held without bail in St. Lucie County Jail, according to jail records. He has not yet entered a plea, Beaty says.
Nicki Minaj Coupled Up With Lewis Hamilton Nicki Minaj and Lewis Hamilton are fanning the flames on the rumor that they’re a new couple out here in these streets. The rapper and the Formula 1 racer have already been spotted getting extra friendly during New York Fashion Week, and Nicki wasn’t too shy about showing off her coziness with her possible boo while Versace’d down in Dubai. Now, Lewis is returning Chun-Li’s enthusiasm about their budding…friendship by showcasing her on his own social media page. Lewis posted a photo of him and Ms. Minaj perched up on a four-wheeler on a sand dune at sunset in Dubai. This one has to be a throwback photo, as Nicki just touched down in Brazil within the last few days. Hmm…is it just us or does that make it look like he’s missing spending that one-on-one time with his new lady? Either way it goes, it seems that this potential couple doesn’t care too much about the public speculation since they each tossed up middle fingers in the photo. Looks like we may be seeing more of these two together in the near future! It is cuffin’ season after all… PMPhoto/PapCulture / SplashNews.com

According to Rap Radar Cosby spent some time complaining and pleading to his wife, Camille, after spending the first day of his 3-10 year sentence behind bars. After the sentencing Cosby was allegedly allowed a brief phone call by speakerphone to his wife, who also wasn’t in attendance. He allegedly told Camille that “they took my cane, tie and shoelaces because they think I will harm myself.” And that “he had a stale hotdog bun thrown at him and he fell down a few steps because he wasn’t being guided,” and that lastly that he was “under siege” and begged his wife to try everything to get him out from behind bars by “Grabbing the checkbook and hire anyone and everyone who could get him out as soon as possible,” says a Rap Radar source. Immediately after sentencing the 81-year-old Cosby, Judge Steven O’Neill revoked his bail and remanded him to the custody of prison officials, where he was transported to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility to serve out the remainder of his sentence.
A3C 2018 In Atlanta Is One You Do NOT Want To Miss Atlanta has been the epicenter for rap music and hip-hop culture for nearly the past 20 years. So what better place to hold an all-emcompassing hip-hop conference/festival than the city that accounts for the most influential music in the industry right now? A3C (All Three Coasts) has been an Atlanta staple for several years now, getting bigger and better each go-round, but the 2018 version of the lauded event might just be the best EVER. One of the many, many things that people are looking forward to is Lil’ Wayne’s headlining set on Sunday, October 7th. The anticipation for Weezy F. Baby was already sky high, but now that it looks like this will be his first show after the release of The Carter V tomorrow, the city is gonna go apes#!t. In addition to Wayne, the entire Wu-Tang Clan is scheduled to perform in celebration of the 25th anniversary of their debut opus, Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers , AND a Dipset reunion show is on deck. Jim Jones, Juelz Santana AND Cam’ron. If you live in the Atlanta area and you miss this, then you are playing yourself and we hope your FOMO is acute. As lit as all that will be, concerts aren’t the only facet of A3C that will have people flocking to the city. The conference draws just as much excitement because the music industry’s biggest behind-the-scenes faces will also be in attendance. Folks like Ethiopia Habtemariam, president of Motown Records, industry vet and Translation CEO Steve Stoute, State of the Culture co-host and former Complex News personality Brandon “Jinx” Jenkins and our own Senior Content Director, Pop Culture, Janeé Bolden (if you ever wanted to meet someone from Bossip). Suffice to say there is a LOT going on and we haven’t even scratched the surface of the experience that A3C is offering to those who attend. BOSSIP will be giving you a deeper look into what you can expect throughout the week, but one thing’s for sure, YOU need to there!

Timothy Hiatt/Getty Images In anticipation of the return of some of our favorite shows, “Chicago Fire,” “Chicago PD” and “Chicago Med” BOSSIP recently took part in Chicago ONE day where we were able to interview producers and talent from all three shows and take part in tours of each set. Tonight marks the return of all three shows and it will be the first time that the franchises, all which were created by Dick Wolf, regularly air on the same night. When we asked Dick Wolf what it meant for him to have all three shows airing this Wednesday, he told us the news was “thrilling.” “I sincerely believe it’s going to work,” Wolf told BOSSIP. “I think that it’s an opportunity to have, not even crossovers, but characters just appearing on the other shows. When it’s on one night, it’s going to be even more impactful.” “The second episode is a triple crossover,” Wolf added. “On that nightl “Fire” is going first into “Med,” because of people injured in the fire and then into “PD.” To have the freedom to build the event, it’s wonderful.” For newcomers, like Annie Ilonzeh, who plays paramedic Emily Foster on “Chicago Fire” in their 7th season, filming the crossover episode was both overwhelming and exciting. “It was the biggest shock,” Ilonzeh told BOSSIP. ” I felt like a kid in the candy store.” Kara Kilmer, who plays Foster’s partner in paramedics, Sylvie Brett told BOSSIP that Ilonzeh fit right in with the cast, but was fun to watch during the crossover taping. “We had our first pull up and it was downtown with multiple units,” Kilmer described to BOSSIP. “I was driving the ambo and all of us were converging in front of this one iconic building and Annie was like ‘Oh, you guys really do this, I have to get my phone out.’” “I’m thinking they have stunt drivers and all this,” Ilonzeh chimed in. “I’m thinking there’s no way you can drive this big old truck and all the trucks and she’s swinging around corners, like, ‘Vroom!’ ‘I’m like… Annie, bring your eyes back to normal size. She impresses me so much on the day to day.” Ilonzeh wasn’t the only newcomer at Chicago Day. Singer/Actress Heather Headley is a recurring cast member on Season 4 of “Chicago Med.” She plays Gwen Garrett, a Harvard grad hired to watch the hospital’s bottom line, who ends up bumping heads with Sharon Goodwin (played by S. Epatha Merkerson). Headley spoke to BOSSIP about playing such a boss and going head to head with the amazing Merkerson. Elizabeth Sisson/NBC “I love it,” Headley told BOSSIP. “I’m really grateful to the writers that they weren’t scared of making her female, making her a black female and having a black female come against another strong black female in a very intelligent way.” “They both want what’s best for the hospital, they just come at it differently,” Headley continued. “My character is the brain book, like ‘this is how it’s supposed to be done, this is what’s best for the hospital, it is what it is,’ while Lady E – Epatha, I call her Lady E – is like the heart and blood, the soul of it, so she sees it from a different angle. It’s been fun to do it. To be strong. To not make her witchy with a capital B. Because that’s the first thing people think, because she’s a boss, but no, this is just how it’s done. I love it and I’m very grateful, they could have made her a male, easily, any kind of male, any kind of female, but I’m grateful that I’m her face. Hopefully give her not a bad name, to understand those rules are necessary. She’s a little bad but she’s fun.” Besides the addition of Ilonzeh to the “Chicago Fire” cast, viewers can expect sad moments as the cast mourns the death of Dushon Monique Brown, who passed away last March. Brown played Connie, who assisted Fire Chief Boden (Eamonn Walker). “Chicago Med” airs at 8pm EST, “Chicago Fire” airs at 9pm EST and “Chicago PD” airs at 10pm EST. Hit the flip for shots from set
Perhaps no participant in the 16 and Pregnant / Teen Mom franchise has been as candid and forthright with viewers as Kailyn Lowry. On TV, on social media, and in a series of bestselling books, Lowry has laid her life bare and shared all with her legion of loyal fans. But even Kail has her limits with regard to what sort of private information she can comfortably make public — and it seems she reached her breaking point during her relationship with Chris Lopez. Lowry became pregnant with her third child while dating Lopez, and for a time, she attempted to keep both the pregnancy and the relationship under wraps. Obviously, this strategy wasn’t effective for very long, and soon, Kail found that one of the most challenging periods in her life was playing out on a public stage. Now, Kail is opening about that chapter in her life like never before in her new memoir, Letters of Love: In an exclusive excerpt obtained by Radar Online, Kail reveals that she and Lopez worked hard to make the relationship work for the sake of their son, Lux: “We tried to get back together and work things out, but it only lasted about a month,” Lowry writes . “After that time of being together, we didn’t speak for a period of eight months.” Lowry goes on to describe a difficult time post-breakup, during which Lopez “hurt [her] in so many ways.” “I’ve had my bedroom window broken while the baby was asleep with me in the room,” Lowry writes. “My backdoor had been broken while all of my kids were at home” According to Kail, all of this happened during the first six weeks of Lux’s life, a time during which Lopez also got into the habit of trashing her on social media: “I’ve had sh-t said about me told to my children,” she writes. “I don’t care if the kid is six weeks old or six years old, a dad should not talk about the mother of his child.” While the relationship between Lowry and Lopez seems to have improved in recent weeks, Kail says there was a time when Chris simply refused to be a father: “I’ve been left to take care of everything,” she writes. “I kind of knew this would be a possibility but I guess I just wanted to be proved wrong. Because I can be totally responsible for our child doesn’t mean that I should take care of everything.” Fortunately, Kail and Chris seem to have worked out a co-parenting relationship that works for both parties. The pair recently collaborated on Lux’s first birthday party , and they seem to have ceased trash-talking each other on social media. Thus far, Chris hasn’t commented on Kail’s book, but we’re assuming he won’t be offering up a rave review. After all, this is the same guy who burned Lowry’s last book .

Many people out there may think Gisele Bundchen is the perfect female specimen. But in a new interview and a new memoir, the world famous model admits that her life has been anything but perfect. Three years ago, for example, Bundchen tells People Magazine that she quietly underwent a procedure that she almost immediately regretted, going under the knife for a breast augmentation due to her uneven boobs. They changed shape and placement due to 18 months of breastfeeding her son, Benjamin, and her daughter, Vivian. “I was always praised for my body, and I felt like people had expectations from me that I couldn’t deliver,” the 38-year old tells the aforementioned publication, explaining in more detail: “I felt very vulnerable, because I can work out, I can eat healthy, but I can’t change the fact that both of my kids enjoyed the left boob more than the right. “All I wanted was for them to be even and for people to stop commenting on it.” In her new book, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life , the typically private superstar confesses that in 2015, she gave in to the above vulnerabilities and got a boob job. “When I woke up, I was like, ‘What have I done?’ I felt like I was living in a body I didn’t recognize,” she writes. “For the first year I wore [baggy] clothes because I felt uncomfortable.” Thankfully, Gisele received never-ending support from husband Tom Brady, she explains: “He just said, ‘I love you no matter what’ and that I looked beautiful. This was definitely another lesson: What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. But I wish I would have learned that a different way.” Elsewhere in the very personal interview, Gisele says that she experienced a panic attack 15 years ago, just as her career was taking off. It took place during a turbulent plane ride, but it didn’t stop there. The episode led her to develop a fear of tunnels, elevators and various enclosed spaces. Bundchen then had more panic attacks, including in her own home… and eventually contemplated suicide because the anxiety was just so difficult to tolerate. “I actually had the feeling of, ‘If I just jump off my balcony, this is going to end, and I never have to worry about this feeling of my world closing in,'” Bundchen tells People. Gisele sought professional assistance and was prescribed Xanax, but says didn’t want to become reliant on the medication. So she chose to change her eating and drinking habits and turned to yoga and meditation to combat stress. “Things can be looking perfect on the outside, but you have no idea what’s really going on,” the supermodel tells this magazine, concluding: “I felt like maybe it was time to share some of my vulnerabilities, and it made me realize, everything I’ve lived through, I would never change, because I think I am who I am because of those experiences.”
