Donezo: Baltimore Mayor Catherine Pugh Resigns Amid Children’s Book Scandal 

Source: Paul Marotta / Getty Baltimore politician Catherine Pugh has decided to resign from her role as Mayor of the city amid reports of dubious financial dealings tied to her self-published children’s book. According to the Baltimore Sun , Pugh was under increasing pressure to step down after federal agents from the IRS and FBI raided her home and office due to suspicion of fraudulent financial deals. Reports say that various organizations purchased copies of the book “Healthy Holly: Exercising is Fun,” and may have given Pugh as much as $800,000 in exchange for lucrative city contracts, in some cases worth millions. University of Maryland Medical System, where Pugh was once on the board, paid $500,000 for her book, Grant Capital Management gave $100,000 toward helping book sales to “tackle childhood obesity,” and several other huge organizations reportedly gave the former Mayor money. On Thursday, Pugh’s lawyer read a statement from the Mayor, saying: “I am sorry for the harm that I have caused to the image of the city of Baltimore and the credibility of the office of the mayor. Baltimore deserves a mayor who can move our great city forward.” Pugh has been on personal leave since April 1, 2019, after the announcement that the federal government was investigating her book dealings.Baltimore City Council President Bernard “Jack” Young has been serving as acting mayor since Pugh went on leave. At this time, no charges have been filed against the former Mayor.

The Bachelorette Alums: Where Are They Now?

Well, a new season of The Bachelorette is almost upon us. But before Hannah Brown begins her search for love with a new round of 32 suitors, it's time to check in on the 14 women who came before her. Host Chris Harrison sat down with most of the previous Bachelorettes this week to film a historic reunion special. Harrison says the result is an eye-opening look at how both the show and the dating scene have changed since 2004. The reunion will air on May 8, just days before Hannah's season premieres on May 13. So join us as we prepare ourselves with a trip down memory lane and a glance at Bachelorettes past: 1. 15 Years of History Chris posted this photo of himself with MOST of the women who handed out roses on the iconic ABC reality show. Two of the past Bachelorettes were unable to attend, but more on that later. 2. Trista Rehn (Season 1) It all started with Trista. She accepted a proposal from Ryan Sutter and the couple later married in a televised ceremony. 3. Still Going Strong Trista and Ryan are now parents to two children. They recently celebrated their 15th anniversary together. 4. Meredith Phillips (Season 2) Next up was Meredith Phillips, who ended her season by getting engaged to Ian McKee. The couple broke up one year later. 5. A Shocking Epilogue Meredith made headlines last year when she revealed that she had been sexually assaulted during her time on the show. Not surprisingly, she opted out of this week’s reunion. 6. Jen Schefft (Season 3) Season 3 had Jen Schefft handing out roses. She rejected Jerry Ferris’ proposal in the finale, later explaining that she saw him more as a friend. View Slideshow

Jenelle Evans: Will She FINALLY Divorce David Eason Following Dog Shooting?!

By now, you’ve probably heard about what is arguably the most appalling scandal in the sordid history of the Teen Mom 2 franchise. Jenelle Evans’ husband, David Eason, shot and killed her dog in what’s been described by some insiders as a fit of rage. Obviously, it’s a horrifying situation, but thankfully, Jenelle did the right thing for once. Shortly after the shooting, she took her two youngest kids (eldest son Jace is on a cruise with his grandmother) and fled to Kentucky and the home of her longtime friend Jamie Wilshire. In interviews and social media posts, Jenelle confirmed that she is “separated” from Eason . But now, many fans are wondering what will come next. After all, Jenelle and David have separated on numerous occasions, Each time, they were happily reconciled within days of the split. But we have good news for those hoping that Jenelle will think of her children — not to mention her pets — and kick David to the curb. According to Radar Online, divorce remains Jenelle’s most likely course of action as she weighs her options going forward. “Jenelle is definitely considering divorcing David after he killed her dog,” a source close to the situation tells Radar. “This could be the end for them because she is so upset about what happened and the cruelty of him killing her do.” The insider says that Jenelle is currently holding off on filing because she’s “scared” of what David might do when he finds out she’s leaving him. That’s certainly an understandable fear, but the source says Jenelle feels as though she has little choice but to end the marriage after witnessing Eason’s latest violent outburst. “Little dogs will do that with toddlers who mess with them. He didn’t bite her or hurt her. Just snapped,” says the insider. “David took the dog outside and shot it. Point blank.” Of course, at this point, conflicting accounts are everywhere, and a different informant tells Radar that Jenelle and David have already patched things up. “She’s not divorcing him,” the second source tells Radar. “She is back with him. She doesn’t want people to know obviously, but she is back home with him.” In other David news, TMZ reports that Eason was in court today for an unrelated matter. According to the baby mama Olivia Leedham, Eason owes $5,187 in back child support. He arrived in court empty-handed, but when a judge gave him only a “few hours” to pay up, Eason made with the cash. We can’t help but wonder where he got the money. David being David, he also made sure to threaten a photographer outside of the courtroom. “Don’t get in my face, bro. I promise you don’t want to do that,” Eason says in the clip above. Sadly, that sort of behavior is quite tame by his standards. View Slideshow: David Eason: Damn Right I Killed My Dog! And I’d Do It Again!

In White Folks News: Ryan Reynolds & Blake Lively Reportedly Expecting Third Child

Source: Splash News / Splash News Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Gear Up For Third Child According To Red Carpet Event Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively  are prepping for another addition to the family, according to People .  The couple stepped out together for the Pokémon: Detective Pikachu premiere in New York City on Thursday, and Lively was sporting a yellow dress that proudly presented what looked like a baby bump. Neither Reynolds nor Lively have commented publicly on their family’s future yet, but surely we’ll hear from the couple soon.   The two wedded in 2012, and they’re already parenting their 4-year-old daughter James and their 2-year-old daughter Inez. According to People , they’ve built a home outside of Hollywood in Bedford, New York. Reynolds recently told People that they never take work at the same time so they can keep their family together. “Blake and I don’t do movies at the same time. If she is doing a movie in Thailand and I am doing a movie in Vancouver, we would just never see each other. We operate as a unit, and that works really well for us,” Reynolds said. “The kids stay with us, and the family stays together, and that is where home is. So if we are in Spain or Utah or New York, as long as we are together, we’re home.” Reynolds had been gushing about fatherhood ever since he became a parent. He told eTalk last year , “It’s the best thing. It’s the best thing that could ever happen to you.” Congrats to the star couple!
