Source: Rob Rich/ WENN / WENN Aoki Lee Simmons Admits She Let Harvard Acceptance Get To Her Head Just a few weeks ago we were congratulating Aoki Lee Simmons for being admitted to Harvard, but it appears that she allowed her new Ivy League status to go to her head. Earlier this week Aoki posted an essay on humility, revealing her mother had to take her down a notch because her big brains were giving her a HUGE head…. View this post on Instagram A short essay on humility, for someone trying their best to have some #spreadkindness (make sure you swipe cause if you don’t the essay makes no sense ) Love yourself, admit your mistakes, and grow like the awesome tree you are! #reflect #foodforthought A post shared by Aoki Lee Simmons (@aokileesimmons) on Apr 30, 2019 at 9:37pm PDT “I was more Harvard than John Harvard himself,” Aoki recalls, “and I was excited out of my mind, I was dabbing, I was whipping, I was Milly rocking, I was singing the fresh prince theme song….. Until my mom took me down a peg with lecture on humility, being a braggart and attracting the evil eye. My reaction was horrendous to ay the least, I pouted, I teared up, I accused her of being jealous, I accused her of not understanding how the college process works (hint: she totally did since she supported me and my sister through it and went to a fantastic college herself). I went off to my room to rage about how my mom ruins everything and kills my vibes and all those other teen complaints. I called my Dad to complain about how unfair my mom was being, and he told me he’d been wanting to say what she said for months. Which shocked me because I usually count on my Dad to be on my side, so hearing that confirmed the worst, my mom might be right. So then I started crying, really really hard.” Sounds a wee bit spoiled brattish — but at least she’s admitting she was wrong. We also loved that Aoki opened up about being disappointed about being deferred at Yale. We think it’s so great that Aoki realized the error of her ways AND that her mother kept it real with her. There are far too many insufferable little privileged princesses running around Beverly Hills whose mothers encourage that behavior. It’s a great picture of the kind of mom Kimora is riiiight?! When is the last time you needed a friend or family member to help you stay grounded?
Well, it's official — Josh and Anna Duggar are expecting their sixth child . Despite the fact that Anna pregnancy rumors circulate on social media pretty much nonstop, a lot of fans were still surprised by the news. You can count us among those who were taken off-guard by the couple's video announcement. Sure, the rumors are constant, but that's all the more reason they can usually be discounted. The situation has caused us to reflect on the bumpy road that brought Josh and Anna to this point. Here's a look back at how it all began, as well as the many challenges these two have faced along the way: 1. The Beginning Josh is the oldest of the Duggar kids, and he was the first of Jim Bob and Michelle’s children to tie the knot and start a family. 2. The First Grandkid No doubt Anna will always have a special place in her in-laws’ hearts for giving the offspring-obsessed Duggars their first grandchild. 3. Keeping Tradition Alive When Mackynzie (who’s now 9) joined the family, it looked as though Josh and Anna would follow in his parents’ footsteps. 4. D.C. Bound But the couple surprised fans when they moved to Washington. D.C. so that he could work as a lobbyist. 5. Keeping Up the Pace Two more kids — Michael and Marcus — followed soon after Mackynzie. 6. Doing the Duggar Deed Josh and Anna continued to welcome kids at the rate of one every two years, and they seemed to have the full support of both fans and his family. View Slideshow

As you’ve likely heard by now, David Eason shot and killed his wife’s pet dog on Monday. It’s important to note that this was no accident, and it was no Old Yeller-style reluctant mercy-killing. No, David allegedly ignored pleas for compassion from his wife and shot the small French bulldog named Nugget to death because of the dog’s behavior. David says the dog bit his 2-year-old daughter Ensley — yet even though he’s posted about the incident extensively, he has yet to furnish anything in the way of evidence that might support this claim. And as many fans have pointed out, if David and Jenelle are planning to proceed with turning their swampy morass into a “homestead,” they may want to teach their children how to properly interact with animals. And if one of their animals simply could not be trusted to not harm the children, they should have had him re-homed. (Are you telling us with Jenelle’s millions of social media followers, she couldn’t have found a suitable home for Nugget?) The point of all this is that unless the dog badly injured Ensley — which we know did not happen — then there was no reason for David to kill him. He did so because he’s a violent psychopath, and yet once again, it looks as though he’ll avoid legal prosecution — all because of Jenelle. Yes, according to TMZ, David has been tentatively cleared of all charges. Police say they cannot proceed with an investigation without a complaint from the dog’s owner or one of the other adults living in the household. Technically, Jenelle is considered an adult, which makes her the only person who fits those descriptions. When police performed a welfare check on Ensley Monday night, David informed them that Nugget was still alive — but he refused to let them see the dog. We now know that Nugget was already dead, and while police contacted Animal Control, they say their hands are tied unless Jenelle presses charges. TMZ requested a statement and a spokesperson for the Columbus County Sheriff’s Department told the outlet that they will not respond “sensationalized media reports or social media posts.” PETA says it hopes the authorities change their minds for the sake of Jenelle and her children. “People who abuse animals typically don’t stop there.,” the organization says. Meanwhile, calls for Jenelle to be fired from Teen Mom 2 have become louder than ever on social media. For years, viewers have accused Evans of protecting an abuser, and by continuing to employ her, they argue, MTV is guilty of the same. As the situation escalates online, many are now pointing out that there’s reason to believe gun-crazy Dave has killed other pets in the past: “My belief, this is not the first time he’s killed a dog,” wrote one Twitter user. “Three dogs went “missing” in their care–Pumpkin, the designer dog bought from breeder in Texas & the stray during hurricane. Jenelle is acting sad because they were reported. #RIPNugget #RipPumpkin #EasonAnimalAbuse” We hope David and Jenelle are ready to weather the worst storm of their careers. This criticism will not be going away anytime soon. View Slideshow: David Eason: Damn Right I Killed My Dog! And I’d Do It Again!
Donald Trump may be a vile human being who despises immigrants… … but let’s give him points for consistency at least. He appears to despise ALL immigrants. Earlier this month, one of Joe Giudice’s daughters started a petition that she hoped would make its way into the President’s hands. This petition begged and pleaded for someone very high up to overturn her father’s deportation sentencing, as a judge decreed back in October that Giudice had to be sent back to his native Italy. Permanently. This was his punishment for committing bankruptcy fraud as a non-U.S. citizen. Giudice’s lawyer has managed to delay the deportation for at least a little while, but Joe’s family has been hoping that President Trump really might swoop in and save the day. Alas, he will not. According to a source familiar with the administration, the pardon request made on behalf of this admitted liar is not on the Commander-in-Chief’s radar. “This has not reached the White House,” says an insider to People Magazine, which notes that publicity alone does not carry a pardon request to Trump’s desk. That may typically be true. As it probably should be. But it’s understandable that the Giudices may have thought differently about this particular President. The source goes on to explain that Teresa and her kids simply asking for Joe to receive a break doesn’t mean he’ll get one. Moreover: “Thousands of people have through different means tried to bring different cases [to the White House]. The vast majority of them just don’t warrant the decision.” And it’s really not clear why Joe would be an exception here. Both he and Teresa confessed in court to lying about their finances back when they filed for bankruptcy. They hid assets from the government and now they went the government to bail Joe out. How is that for irony?!? Joe finished a 41-month prison sentence in March for mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. His wife previously served 11 months of a 15-month sentence for fraud. “They have made a mistake but rectified it through serving time and by finically satisfying all that was owed,” Gia wrote in her petition, which has garnered more than 80,000 of its target 150,000 signatures. Joe was merely a small child when his family moved from Italy to America — but he never completed his naturalization to become a citizen here. Because of the crimes he committed, he is subject to deportation. And that does now appear to be his fate, despite Teresa spilling her heart out to a judge in a recent letter . “Judge Ellington, my daughters need their father. They cry for him every day … I cannot bear the thought of my daughters losing their father,” she wrote last week, adding: “I am fearful that it will break them and that I alone will not be able to fix them. Judge Ellington, this is my greatest fear and it keeps me up at night. “The fear that if I lose my husband, I will also lose my children, as they will never be the same.” Joe and Teresa have four kids: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9. It does suck for them that their parents are so terrible. But they may eventually have a new man in the house anyway, someone who might set a better example than Joe has over the years. After all, Teresa has made it clear that she’s ready to move on. She will file for divorce as soon as Joe is given the boot. “I know exactly what happens — I’m sure he’ll be with other women. It happens,” Teresa said in early March, looking ahead to a future of her in America and Joe abroad. “You do the long-distance thing, it’s not going to work. I’d be like, ‘Bye bye.’” View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!
Happy 8 months on Earth to Chelsea Houska’s adorable baby girl Layne! It’s hard to believe she is already 8 months old — I mean, it feels like Chelsea just pushed her out yesterday. But like it or not, this baby is growing up. Fast! On Tuesday night, Houska shared a sweet photo of daughter Layne Ettie laying next to a letter board ( you don’t say?) marking her age. She was dressed in a strawberry-print onesie and wore a matching plaid bow — yes, it’s the cutest thing we will probably see all week. “Guess who turned 8 months yesterday?!” Houska captioned the post. Everyone else was just as shocked to see that Layne was so close to turning a year old. Even fellow Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry commented with heart emojis, “It’s been 8 months already?! She’s precious.” Chelsea and husband Cole DeBoer welcomed Layne in August 2018 , on the very same day Chelsea celebrated her 27th birthday! They’re already parents to 2-year-old Watson and 9-year-old daughter, Aubree Lind-DeBoer, from Chelsea’s former relationship with ex Adam Lind. “Happy birthday to my sweet perfect wife Chelsea DeBoer who just gave our family this beautiful blessing!” the new dad wrote on Instagram at the time. “Sharing the same amazing day I am so in love with our family! Our newest addition Baby Layne!!” It seems the couple really enjoys parenthood … so much so that they are already thinking of having more babies! “We definitely want more kids — at least one — but I think we’re going to wait probably a little farther than the last two babies.” the MTV personality told E! News shortly after Layne’s birth. “Maybe when she’s 2, we’ll start thinking about it. But there will be more.” Well, that sounds promising! But for now — this close-knit fam seems pretty content. “I feel like [baby Layne] is like Cole. I think Aubree is like me and Watson and Layne are like Cole,” the mother-of-three shared about their family dynamic. And when it comes to the youngest of the Teen Mom 2 babies, Chelsea explains her as “very laid back. She’s easy, she’s smiley, she’s chill, very chill.” Aubree has been the best big sister to the newest addition as well! “Having Aubree’s help has been amazing,” Chelsea added. “She loves helping. She plays with her brother when I need her to. She can get his little boots on or something when we’re heading out the door so she’s been amazing.” As for DeBoer, he’s also been a blessing. “I mean, Cole is just great all around,” Chelsea gushed. “I’m more of the laid-back parent and he’s definitely more paranoid and worried all the time, which is funny because it’s usually the mom but I mean, he’s so helpful.” “He changes diapers. He gets in there. He does it all,” she said. After the family experienced a terrifying break-in at their brand new home a few months back — it seems like they’re finally recovering and getting back into their groove. We’re sure little Layne and her beautiful family members had the best 8-month day celebration and we hope she is enjoying all her newfound milestones by eating plenty of baby cereals and less of breast milk! Now we patiently wait for all of the adorable crawling videos to grace our feed … any day now. View Slideshow: Chelsea Houska Baby Pics: Little Layne Comes to Life!
