Alexis Bellino: Dating Andy Bohn! Expecting a Baby?!

Now that former The Real Housewives of Orange County star Alexis Bellino is divorced , what comes next? We have our answer: ol’ Jesus Jugs is dating again. On Super Bowl Sunday, Alexis showed off her team spirit — and her new boyfriend! See why fans are asking if she’s pregnant. Alexis Bellino is not being subtle about her new man — or about where her football team loyalties lie. Posing alongside boyfriend Andy Bohn, she made it clear which side she supported. “RAMS Fam here @acbohn #loveisintheair #myforever” It’s always nice to see someone rooting against the New England Patriots (even for me, and I don’t follow sports). It’s not technically a surprise, as many find that their loyalties are with the team geographically closest to where they live. The L.A. Rams are going to claim lots of loyalty on the West Coast. Fans paid more attention to her declaration of affection for Andy Bohn. And they could not help but notice his hand placement. A hand over someone’s belly is almost a universal sign for pregnancy or thoughts about pregnancy. Naturally, nosey fans asked Alexis if she was eating Super Bowl snacks for two. “No I’m not preggers,” Alexis replied. Well, that’s good to know. So why are their hands placed the way that they are? “He is holding my hand,” she clarified. However, she then dropped a bombshell. “But,” Alexis wrote. “We wouldn’t mind one more in the future.” Over time, she apparently grew fatigued with some of the less positive remarks, as she added to the captions of both images: “Positive Vibes only,” Alexis implored her fans and followers. “No negative comments please.” There were additional negative comments. “Fans” love to jump to conclusions. “Heard he’s a married man,” wrote one follower, clearly aiming to shame Alexis. “Shame,” the follower continued. “And thought you were miss religious.” The name Jesus Jugs has stuck with Alexis, through the years, for better or for worse. Alexis wanted to clear up the misunderstanding. “Was married,” she clarified. “In middle of divorce.” Speaking of being in the middle of a divorce, Alexis had to go through all of that last year. She split from her longtime husband, Jim Bellino. Alexis adn Jim share 12-year-old son James and 11-year-old twin daughters, Melania and Mackenna. (We feel genuine pity for Melania, whose parents could never have known how infamous her otherwise beautiful name would one day become) Alexis is 42 years old. She could give birth at this age, but it would not be without its risks. Divorce is never fun, and neither Alexis nor Jim had an easy time with it, despite efforts to keep things civil for the sake o the children. These days, both former spouses have moved on. Alexis is dating Andy Bohn. And Jim Bellino is trying to sue the pants off of Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador . Jim alleges that some offhand comments and some rumors that the two women shared during an appearance on a podcast were malicious. He says that they cost him $1 million worth of business, and that Tamra and Shannon had planned in advance to have that effect. Wow.

Kelsy Karter: Singer’s Harry Styles Face Tattoo Exposed as Hoax

As “clout” continues to replace hard currency as the most valuable commodity of the 21st century, you can expect young aspiring influencers to go to  greater and greater lengths in order to boost their public profile. For evidence of this hilarious trend look no further than 24-year-old aspiring pop star Kelsy Karter. Earlier this week, Kelsy tweeted the above photo with a caption reading: “mama, look what i made me do” It appeared that what she had done was to get an oddly purplish portrait of Harry Styles inked onto the side of her face. Kelsy foreshadowed the horrendous tatt by tweeting: “Finally know what I’m getting Harry for his birthday.” ( Styles turns 25 today.) Many were convinced the singer had really gone through with a rather horrendous decision. But just as many, if not more, suspected that something was amiss. Perhaps sensing that the jig was up, Karly confessed in an Instagram story that the whole thing was a hoax. “How I rocked the entire world for $300,” Kelsy titled the clip. “[Tattoo artist Romeo] traced Harry‘s 2017 Rolling Stone cover, applied it to my face, and then a special FX makeup artist did her thing,” she says in the video. “BTW: We know it looked ridiculous. That was the point.” Well, we suppose she gets bonus points for knowing she’s being ridiculous. As for whether or not the hoax worked, we suppose that depends on your definition of an effective PR stunt. Surely, more people are aware of Kelsy now than a few days ago — but that doesn’t mean she’s earned many new fans. In fact, she’s taken quite a bit of flak for the stalker-ish nature of her Harry-obsessed lyrics. Kelsy Karter – Harry So the good news is, Kelsy didn’t actually get a tattoo of Harry on her face. The bad news, unfortunately, is twofold: For starters, nearly a week after its release, the music video for “Harry” has yet to earn half a million views. On top of that, Mr. Styles might feel compelled to invest in a new security system after listening to the song. View Slideshow: 21 Wild and Totally Crazy Tattoos People Somehow Have on Them

Jana Duggar: Still Sharing a Bedroom at 29?

Counting On  returns very soon, and fans are hoping for  a special announcement from Jana Duggar . When, they wonder, will she finally get into a real courtship and get married and escape from her role as the family Cinderella? Not yet. But at least Jana finally has her own space … sort of. Jana Duggar does not yet have her own bedroom. Yes, still. The Duggar family believes that privacy is just an invitation for the devil to visit. (In other words, they realize that masturbation is a normal human activity and go to great lengths to prevent their children from doing it) They also have approximately one billion children. Jana is sharing a bedroom with a 9-year-old, but at least she finally has her own Instagram. Jana only has a few photos on her Instagram page. That makes sense, because she is new to the social media platform. However, but this week, she shared a series of three pictures of her own little space in the Duggar house. Jana also wrote out a caption for this series of photos. “Love this quiet little nook!” she writes. It does look like a cozy nook. Among Jana’s personal comforts are a number of houseplants, including a jade plant. She also has a trove of art supplies — making us wonder if this nook is entirely her space. Jana then shows off a simple watercolor painting that she did of a frog. If the Duggar women were permitted to have jobs that didn’t involve giving birth or helping others give birth, Jana could have gone into art as a career. Just look at what she painted: Of the frog painting, Jana explains: “My little nephew Marcus loves frogs and asked me to paint it.” Nice! Jana also shared some details about the nook’s decorations. For example, she says that those potted plants are a gift from her brother, Jason. Jason is 18 years old and that was a very tasteful gift. Fans also noticed and asked about that gorgeous antique desk of Jana’s. “My sweet Grandma gave it to me,” Jana reveals in the comments. She then shares: “It’s over 100 years old.” A nook is great, but it’s no substitute for a bedroom. We don’t mean to suggest that Jana needs her own space purely so that she can spend quality time with a hitachi magic wand. (Her sexual health is her business, even if unfortunately her parents and fundamentalist church insist that it’s theirs, too) Bedrooms give you a space of your own that you can decorate to suit your tastes and personality. It also gives you a place to which you can retreat when you’re feeling emotionally exhausted or overwhelmed. Sure, some people share a room during childhood, especially when they are close in age. But Jana is 29 years old and she still does not have a real space for herself. The Duggar household is not really a place for individual expression. Until the children marry, they are extensions of Jim Bob’s will and of his identity. We’re glad that Jana has this small personal outlet. And we continue to be thrilled that she’s been permitted to join Instagram this year. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar Joins Instagram: Is She FINALLY In a Courtship?! [UPDATED]

Josh Duggar: Spotted Filming Scenes For Counting On?!

For years now, rumors of Josh Duggar returning to Counting On have been circulating non-stop on social media. Come to think of it, those rumors began almost immediately after the Josh Duggar sex scandals that threatened to destroy his family’s media empire back in 2015. Once it became clear that the Duggars would not simply slink back into obscurity, as so many had hoped, many assumed the family would eventually figure out a way to reintroduce the known molester to their fan base. And now, we regret to inform you that it looks as though that day has come. As In Touch Weekly points out Josh was recently spotted in wife Anna’s Instagram stories. That may not sound like such a big deal, as Josh frequently makes appearances on his wife’s social media pages. But this time around, Anna’s eagle-eyed followers picked up on something highly unusual about the pics. As you can see, Josh seems to have assumed the master of ceremonies role at what appears to be a gathering of young Duggars. Again, nothing terribly unusual about that, as — for reasons that defy logic — the Duggars still allow Josh around their children. But what’s got the rumor mill working overtime this week is a pic that comes later in Anna’s IG story. This photo was taken at the same gathering, and again, it doesn’t appear that there’s anything out of the ordinary about it. If you look closely, however, you’ll notice that there appears to be a cameraman standing just out of frame on the right side. For obvious reasons, this has led many to the conclusion that the party was filmed for an upcoming episode of Counting On . Given that he was spotted addressing the room with a microphone in his hande on multiple occasions, would it even be possible to edit Josh out of the scene , as the show has done in the past? Timing-wise this might be Josh’s best opportunity to try and weasel his way back on TV. Astonishingly, the recent Josh and Anna comeback tour has been well-received by a disturbingly large segment of the Duggar fanbase. Here’s hoping a much larger group is nauseated by the idea of a known child molester being paid to appear on television, and will boycott the hell out of TLC is such a thing is allowed to happen.

Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert: Expecting Baby #2!

It hasn’t been all that long since Jade Roper and Tanner Tolbert welcomed their first child . The Bachelor in Paradise couple has now announced even more good news. They are expecting Baby #2! On Monday, Jade Roper took to Instagram to share two photos and some very happy news. “Baby #2 is adding to our crew!!” she announces. Get it? It rhymes. “We are overjoyed,” Jade gushes. She even reveals part of the due date: “our bundle of love will be joining us in August!” Jade shared two photos, both featuring her, husband Tanner Tolbert, and their toddler, Emerson. Jade’s words continue, and she speaks directly to her future child. “We’ve been dreaming of you for a while now,” she writes. “And,” Jade’s caption concludes. “You are already loved beyond imaginable, sweet baby.” That is so precious! Notably, she has not shared whether they are expecting a boy or a girl, which is totally fine. This wee little blessing will be the couple’s second child. In fact, Baby #2 is expected to be their second child born in August. Jade and Tanner welcomed Emerson Avery Tolbert in August of 2017. If all goes according to plan with baby #2 (hey, some pregnancies surprise you!), Emerson will be two years older than her younger sibling. That is widely considered to be a healthy age gap, giving the children the chance to bond as peers but also remain spaced out somewhat. Hopefully, Baby #2 will not be born the same day or week as Emerson. That kind of thing gets super awkward. “She’s here, our little sweetheart!” Jade announced in August of 2017. “Tanner and I are very proud to announce the arrival of our baby girl this Thursday morning,” she shared. Addressing baby Emerson, she said: “There’s truly no words to describe the feeling holding you in our arms for the first time and looking into your eyes.” “We love you, precious girl,” her announcement affirmed. So sweet! In early 2018, Jade was mom-shamed for showing herself breastfeeding baby Emerson. “So, I had some comments about the picture I posted of me and Emerson after I was breastfeeding,” she wrote. “People telling me they don’t look like that when they breastfeed,” she said. “And that I was setting up a standard that’s impossible to live up to.” Notably, people took issue with her posing while wearing makeup and breastfeeding. “The truth about that picture is I had a photo shoot the day before,” Jade explained. “And,” she continued. “I hadn’t taken my makeup off, so that’s literally the day before’s makeup.” “And it was slightly staged,” Jade admitted. Please remember that any photo that is not a candid is “staged.” There’s nothing sinister about posing for a photo. “We positioned Emerson just right to make the picture [work], but that was literally right after I had fed her,” she continued. “And, Jade wrote. “She had fallen asleep on me and we do have those moments where we snuggle so I don’t get what’s so unreal about it.” She makes a very good point. “People were telling me I shouldn’t cover up,” she said. While no one should be shamed for not uncovering to feed their baby, that doesn’t mean that people should be shamed for covering up, either. “I was actually getting flack for putting a cover over my baby,” Jade marveled. “Which I just don’t understand why that would be something people would give me s–t about,” she admitted. “And my baby is feeding right now,” she shared. “And I’m still going to cover up because that’s what I feel the most comfortable with.” Some people get fully dressed in their homes. Others remain naked until company comes over. It’s always a personal choice. “I feel like I don’t need to share all of that with the world,” Jade expressed. “That’s not the message.” “It’s just that women should be able to do what they feel like they need to do for their babies,” she affirmed. She’s absolutely right. View Slideshow: Bachelor Baby Boom: The Births of a Reality Show Nation

Black Mom Whose Law School Graduation Photo Went Viral Named Assistant County Attorney

More here:

L ast year, law school graduate Ieshia Champs posted a graduation photo of her and her five children. The image of her milestone —symbolic of hard work, dedication, and perseverance—took the internet by storm. This year, Champs is taking her career to new levels. According to ABC 13 , she has been selected to be assistant county attorney for the Children’s Protection Practice Group of Harris County. Inspiring single mom of 5 lands job as assistant county attorney https://t.co/H7KSOsdcst pic.twitter.com/JHBnJTQZ13 — KHOU 11 News Houston (@KHOU) January 25, 2019 Champs was sworn in earlier this month. The Texas Southern University Thurgood Marshall School of Law graduate has had a tough journey. She grew up in the foster-care system where she encountered traumatic experiences, dropped out of high school, and became a single mom at an early age. She’s also been through a lot of loss. When trying to get on the right track she was laid off from her job, experienced homelessness, and the father of two of her children succumbed to his battle with cancer. She used those experiences as fuel and continued to focus on her family and education; which has ultimately led her to where she’s at in her career now. County Attorney Vince Ryan believes that her story can serve as motivation for others. “Ms. Champs is an inspiration to all who are faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles in life,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “We are fortunate that her path has brought her to our Office where she can continue to make a difference in the lives of those impacted by Children’s Protectives Services in Harris County.” Champs says coming into the office is surreal for her. “Sometimes I forget that I’m an attorney until I walk in this office and realize, ‘Hey, this is real’,” she told KHOU11 . “I feel like as a mother, I gave them something to look forward to and something that they can also give their children in the future.” SEE ALSO: #BlackExcellence: Single Mother Of 5 To Graduate Magna Cum Laude From Law School Rutgers Law School Appoints First Black Woman Dean [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3844029″ overlay=”true”]

Jenelle Evans: SLAMMED By Fans For Neglecting Daughter Ensley

Jenelle Evans has never exactly been a favorite among Teen Mom 2 fans. In fact, there are thousands of “Hatter” accounts on Twitter devoted to calling attention to Jenelle's many atrocities. (The name derives from a Jenelle-defender's botched spelling of “hater.”) Much of the commentary has to do with Evans' parenting practices, which have been called into question not only by Teen Mom 2 viewers by Department of Child and Family Services, whose officers visited Evans' home more than 20 times last year. Jenelle has been accused of neglecting her eldest son Jace, who's spent the majority of his life in the custody of his controversial grandmother. There have also been allegations that Jenelle has allowed her husband, David Eason, to abuse her middle child, Kaiser . And now, many fans believe Jenelle has failed to properly care for her youngest child, 2-year-old Ensley. Take a look: 1. Mother and Daughter Jenelle often posts photos that seem designed to give the impression that she’s an ideal mother. 2. All For Show? She’s frequently been accused of “Instagram parenting” and using her children as props on social media, despite the fact that she spends as little time with them as possible. 3. She Shed Sh-t When Jenelle posts her frequent video tirades, for example, she seems to have endless time on her hands in the middle of the day, and she’s usually in the company of David — which begs the question of who’s watching the kids. 4. Big Day Ensley celebrated her second birthday this week, and many took the opportunity to highlight various ways in which Jenelle is allegedly neglecting her daughter. 5. Did Jenelle FORGET?! Some fans have even suggested that Evans spaced on her daughter’s birthday (because we all know that when she engages in actual parenting, she never fails to document it on Instagram). 6. Victorious Amber Jenelle’s biggest rival of the moment scored some major points with fans by not only celebrating her child’s birth but spiking the football on Jenelle. View Slideshow

Joe Giudice Deportation: Delayed Due to Government Shutdown?

While concerned fans wonder if Teresa Giudice has already filed for divorce , others hold out hope. Could this massive government shutdown buy him a little more time with his family? An immigration official has weighed in on this complicated situation. Take a look: The government shutdown has dragged on for over a month. It is a nightmare and, ultimately, one man in responsible for it. There are very few silver linings to hundreds of thousands of families having their incomes halved — or worse. But some had wondered if part of the backlog might mean a delay on Joe Giudice’s looming deportation. RadarOnline   reports that they spoke to an immigration official, who was the bearer of bad news on this front. Unfortunately, because Joe is a detainee, his appeals process will very likely proceeda s normal. A decision about his deportation status is expected to be made at some time prior to his release. Joe is scheduled for release from prison on March 14. That is in about a month and a half. No one questions whether a guilty party should serve time in prison. But many are horrified that Joe’s release date will take him farther from his family, rather than bring him home. The unnamed immigration official explained why not even the government shutdown is delaying Joe’s deportation. “In most cases,” the offical shares. “Appeal decisions have been delayed.” The official acknowledges: “and everything is on freeze until the government shutdown is over.” “However, in cases of detainees,” the official notes. “Things are still processing as normal because they are priority.” Our understanding of that statement is that current detainees are a priority because the process has already begun. Additionally, their deportation — or not, as the case may be — would relieve a burden on the system rather than add to it. This means that, before Joe is even released from prison in less than 50 days, his appeal will have been decided. Where does this leave him with his wife, Teresa? “She is talking about divorce, absolutely,” an insider tells RadarOnline . “There is no way Teresa is going to uproot her life,” the source explains. That is difficult but very understandable. “He did this,” the insider reasons. “Why should she suffer?” Joe was born in Italy, but his parents brought him to the United States when he was an infant. He has lived his entire life in the United States. It is the only home that he has ever known. Italy, to him, is his parents’ homeland, but not his. Additionally, his family is not emotionally prepared to see him deported to Italy. Though they have had months since the October 10 ruling that he would be deported, they are still struggling to accept this terrible reality. Joe and Teresa’s daughters in particular are desperate for hope that their father can avoid deportation. It is only natural for Teresa to plan to remain in the United States with her four children, no matter what. You don’t uproot the lives of four children on a whim. Despite Teresa’s reputation, there is nothing callous or easy for her about that choice. There is always a sliver of hope that Joe might somehow win his appeal. But … that is looking less and less likely as March 14 looms closer. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!
