According to Lamine, Issa’s indeed engaged and he fully supports his brother-in-law to be. “He’s just a good guy, man. He’s just a cool guy,” Lamine told Us Weekly about Issa’s fiance Louis Diame. “They’ve been dating forever. He’s already been like a brother to me. Family ties at all the family events and dinners, Christmas, Thanksgiving.” The rapper also told Us Weekly that couple hasn’t had time for an engagement party, so “we’re just going to celebrate once it’s time for the ceremony” and even added that Louis proposed during the holiday season. “They did it around the holidays,” he told Us of Diame’s proposal. “She’s so low-key too — for real! I found out, like, a couple days later, so we’re just gonna let her lead the way.” (Soooooo, what you’re saying Mr. Panty Melter sir, is that we’re super late? Oh, okay.) He also added that a wedding date hasn’t been set because of Issa’s busy schedule. “We celebrate all her accolades,” he raved. “They keep rolling in and we’re trying to keep up!” Well, that’s a lot of info from yet another person not named Issa Rae.

Meghan Markle: Top Secret Birth Plan Finally Revealed?!

The weeks before the arrival of a new baby are always a stressful time for the expectant parents. And believe it or not, the whole thing is even more nerve-wracking for members of the royal family, who are forced to make their final preparations under the scrutiny of a watchful media and a few million well-wishers. It’s partially for that reason that the royal family has kept Meghan Markle’s exact due date and the location of her delivery under wraps. The last thing they need is a throng of adoring fans bum-rushing the car that’s rushing the duchess to the maternity ward. Of course, all that secrecy hasn’t stopped the British tabloid press from piecing together a whole lot of hearsay to form what they’re calling “Meghan’s birth plan.” Here’s what we actually know so far: Initially, Meghan was planning to give birth at Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, near the couple’s new home at Frogmore Cottage. Though not nearly as famous as St. Mary’s Hospital in London where Kate Middleton welcomed all three of her children, Frimley Park has served as the site of a few royal births in the past. As Entertainment Tonight reports , Prince Harry’s aunt, Sophie, Countess of Wessex welcomed both of her children there. But it seems the small country hospital may have been nixed by Meghan’s doctors, who may be anticipating complications due to her age and the fact that it’s her first child. It’s for that same reason that they reportedly put the kibosh on Meghan’s very first plan, which was a home birth. But despite the fact that Meg will almost certainly be in a hospital on the big day, she’s reportedly planning for the delivery to be as “natural” as possible. “Her mother is very into anything that is holistic and natural, and having been brought up with yoga and mindfulness, it’s all very much part of Meghan’s birth plan,” a source explained to Vanity Fair. Frankly, we’re of the opinion that drugs are perfectly natural, and needless suffering is as unnatural as it gets, but what do we know? As for where the birth will take place, one insider says he would be “hugely surprised if Meghan didn’t give birth at the Lindo Wing” at St. Mary’s, as the facility is the only one known to have the “security and resources needed for a royal birth.”  Corroborating that claim is The Telegraph ‘s report that staff at the hospital has been instructed “not to take holiday in April.” Of course, the downside is that St. Mary’s is roughly 23 miles from Frogmore Cottage . But we’re sure the royals have access to some MI6 badass capable of chauffeuring Meg to London in an armored Jaguar in four minutes flat.

Audrey Roloff Is Facing MAJOR Mom Guilt While Traveling!

Guilt is a common go-to emotion for moms, but it shouldn’t be!  Moms deserve a break too, it’s just science — quality alone time every now and then is essential to a happy and healthy life!  But as for Audrey Roloff, well she is experiencing some intense mom guilt ( again! ) due to her recent book tour.  The Little People, Big World star took to Instagram on Monday admitting that her recent travels to promote the launch of her new book, A Love Letter Life , left her missing daughter Ember.  And even led to her experiencing a serious case of “mom guilt,” according to Pop Culture .  Audrey, who shares one-year-old Ember with husband Jeremy Roloff, left on her week-long tour last week.  “Finally home with Ember girl. She had so much fun with Gigi and Papa but we missed her like crazy,” Roloff captioned the sweet photo of her and her daughter together at last.  “I’ll be honest… I felt the mom guilt start to creep in at times while we were gone,” she admitted to her fans.  But luckily a good friend of the Always More creator reached out and offered some kind advice to the worried mom.  “She said, ‘when we leave our children for small stretches of time with people that love them so well, it teaches them that they are safe and loved even when mommy and daddy are not around,'” Audrey recalls. Those words completely changed Audrey’s perspective and she began to see the time apart as a gift to Ember, saying, she will “eventually blaze her own trail in this world without me.” “It is just another reminder to me that I am NOT in control, and that God’s past faithfulness demands my present trust,” she concluded. But she is still beyond excited to be back in Oregan.  “All this to say… there really is no place like home.” Although she was initially experiencing some regret over her short trip, many of Roloff’s followers naturally offered their love and voice of support.  “Definitely an amazing perspective most parents need to hear. What a wonderful reminder,” one fan wrote.  Another acknowledged that leaving a child “has been my hardest thing of all as a mama, but precious women have spoken this over me over and over again! Praises for that!”  Writer Danielle Walker even chimed in saying, “Coming home to them is so sweet too.” Prior to leaving for her latest tour, Roloff confessed that she “broke down” before having to leave and that she had been trying to “get a little extra cuddle time in.” (aww)  But now, we are all cheering as the adorable mother-daughter duo is finally reunited once again. Until mom’s next get-away!  It will get easier with time, and soon enough this redhead beauty will be begging for some more momcation trips.   View Slideshow: Audrey Roloff Shares Ember’s Birth Story, Keeps It Very Real

Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson is an Immature Narcissist!

Tristan Thompson is garbage. Absolute garbage. We know it, you know it, Khloe Kardashian has finally been acknowledging it . At this point, it’s just a fact. Tristan’s problem — well, he probably has several, but we mostly just hear about this one — is that he refuses to keep in his pants, ever. His ex, Jordan Craig, was pregnant with his child when he began dating Khloe, so that was the first sign that perhaps he should reevaluate his actions. The second was when he got Khloe pregnant and proceeded to step out on her on at least two separate occasions. And the third, of course, was when he hooked up with Jordyn Woods , a close friend of the entire Kardashian family. It’s just silly, isn’t it? If he wants to sleep around, that’s fine, but he shouldn’t get into serious relationships and have children if his goal is to get with as many ladies as he possibly can. That’s just being a decent human being — not even decent, really, more like “not the worst.” But that’s Tristan’s thing, and it doesn’t look like he’s changing anytime soon . And judging by Khloe’s latest Instagram posts, she’s still 100% over it. Yep, our girl is once again sharing those relationship quotes that are obviously directed at her situation with Tristan . It’s probably her number one hobby these days. One she shared a few days ago read “Being in love in this generation is terrifying. Loyalty is so rare, and people are so quick to choose a good time over a good thing.” She also posted a “Law of Attraction,” which went like this: Oh, you’re a Narcissist, well I’m going to introduce you to an Empath to humble you so you’ll know what it’s like to value, respect and love someone other than yourself. So you’re an Empath, well I’m going to surround you with narcissists so you can toughen up, realize your ego and learn to value yourself more than you value others. Yesterday, her chosen quote was “You will always find love draining if you date people you have to raise.” It’s easy to imagine that all these are about Tristan, right? And also Khloe’s smart enough to realize that everyone’s going to think that these are about Tristan, so the fact that she posted them anyway is basically confirmation. So judging from all of this, we can gather that she believes Tristan isn’t loyal, which isn’t an opinion so much as it is a fact that he’s proven time and time again. More interestingly, it looks like she thinks he’s a narcissist who doesn’t value, respect, or love anyone other than himself. If anyone would know that, she would, so we’ll just have to trust her opinion. That last quote about love being draining if you have to raise your partner also makes sense, since it’s always kind of been her thing. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods! (And It Was All Caught on Camera?!) If we’re to believe all of these statements have to do with Tristan, then he’s an immature narcissist who isn’t loyal and who needs to learn some humility. Sounds about right.

Mo Money, Mayne: Terrence Howard Accused of Owing $140,000 in Back Taxes

Source: Bravo / Getty Terrence Howard Is On The Hook For A 6-Figure Tax Bill It looks like the misfortune of one particular Empire star might be rubbing off on his co-stars. Terrence Howard allegedly needs to pay up on a hefty $140,000 tax bill. According to reports from The Blast , the State of California Franchise Tax Board hit the actor with a lien earlier this year, claiming he owes $143,538.61 for taxes owed back in 2010, plus interest and penalties for not paying the amount on time. The document warns Howard if he does not settle up the outstanding debt, the government could begin attempting to seize his property and assets. The Empire star is no stranger to being hit with some hefty liens, as the same thing has happened before in the past, including owing the IRS $1.1 million back in 2010 and one in 2006 for over $600,000. Both of those previous liens appear to have been settled over the years. Even while dealing with his own financial struggles, the actor is standing by his Empire co-star Jussie Smollett. Back in February, he shared a video of his TV son along with a caption that read, “All your lil homies got you…We love the hell outta you.” Ironically, Smollett also owes some money and the City of Chicago is currently preparing a civil lawsuit to try and force the actor to pay back $130,000 spent by city officials who investigated the case of his alleged attack.

Savannah Chrisley: Engaged to Nic Kerdiles!

Savannah Chrisley is getting married!  And our initial thoughts go out to father Todd Chrisley who is probably having a cow over the thought of his little girl saying “I do”. It was revealed on Wednesday that the Chrisley Knows Best star got engaged to her boyfriend Nicolas “Nic” Kerdiles, 25, on Christmas Eve, according to  People.  The two, who met via Instagram, have been inseparable ever since they started dating back in November of 2017. And a little over a year later, on December 24, the 21-year-old was shocked when her boyfriend got down on one knee in front of her friends and family at her Nashville home.  Chrisley finally opened up to People  about her Christmas engagement, her dream ring, and the wedding planning! “[On the night of the engagement], Nic’s family was in town and my whole family was there and we were filming and I was furious,” she says.  “I was like, ‘The fact we’re filming on Christmas Eve is absolutely insane. I have people here.'” “And then my mom said she forgot something at the store. So, I got in the car and went to the store with her. When we came back and walked in the door, no one was there,” she explained.  But luckily their best friend’s kid Dylan was in on the surprise and directed them by saying, “Hey, I think they’re looking for you outside.” Savannah walked outside to the beautifully lit up Christmas scene which was displayed in her backyard, Nic’s family was standing on one side, as the Chrisley’s were on the other. “This isn’t really about to happen,” Savannah recalled saying as she started to freak out.  “And then, Nic looks at me and he was like, ‘Hey babe, will you come here?’ And you can tell he was so nervous, and I was nervous,” she continued.  “That was a long walk. I was like, ‘What is going down?'” Even though she totally knew what was going down: His knee!  “He said he had this whole thing written out, and he was just like, ‘I just forgot it all.’ And it was just so cute and everyone was crying.” “It was just such a cool moment. And the fact that both of our families were there made it even better,” she shared about the unforgettable night.  The duo apparently had been planning for this moment for quite some time, especially when it came to the ring.  “He sent me a picture of a ring on Instagram one day and it was hideous,” says Chrisley. “He was like, ‘Do you like this?’ And I was like No, no.’ “I immediately sent him a picture of what I liked.” Savannah even confessed that her mom Julie Chrisley actually picked out her engagement ring.  “My mom actually kind of picked out the ring, and so she went and sat down with a jeweler in Nashville and picked out the diamond and all of that,” she added.  “And so, it’s kind of cool to know that she picked it out.” The ring was designed by Dror Flantzman in Nashville and is a 5-carat ring which consists of radiant brilliant cut diamonds in the center with 18 round brilliant cut diamonds around it, as reported by People .  Not only was her mother involved in the engagement process, but of course her dad had to be involved as well .  Todd, being the overbearing and protective father he is, reportedly spoke with Nic before the proposal.  “It’s funny because Nic wanted to ask them in person, but he was in Canada and we were all in Nashville,” says Chrisley. “He FaceTimed my dad. My dad said he was so nervous when he FaceTimed him, that he asked my dad for his hand in marriage!”  Todd’s humor got the best of the situation as he said, “You may want to re-ask that question.” “He was like, ‘Do you want my daughter’s hand in marriage or my hand in marriage?'” Nic, who is a professional hockey player, apparently hung up the phone before calling him back and asking the right way.  “And it was just so funny. My dad said he was so nervous,” Savannah spilled. And although the happy young couple is thrilled for their next chapter, they’re in no rush to tie the knot.   “We’re taking our time,” Chrisley admitted when asked about the wedding planning.  “Just because you’re engaged doesn’t mean you have to get married tomorrow.” “We know that we want to spend the rest of our life with each other,” said the soon-to-be bride. Besides  Savannah’s been too busy filming the spinoff show  Growing Up Chrisley  with brother Chase to have the time to plan her fairytale wedding, which we’re sure it will be.  The show, which revolves around the close-knit siblings testing out their so-called passions on the West Coast, airs on Tuesdays on the USA network.  View Slideshow: Savannah Chrisley: The Most Gorgeous Photos of USA’s Brightest Young Star!

Celebrity Cribs: Kim And Kanye Are Krafting A New Nursery For Baby Number 4, But They Still Don’t Have A Name

Source: Handout / Getty As you probably already know, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have a fourth little one on the way, and they’re busy at work getting ready for his arrival. An insider told Us Weekly , “Kim and Kanye have begun work on the nursery. North fully understands what’s going on and is so into it.” And it’s not only the couple’s oldest daughter, who’s excited for her younger sibling, but “Kim is in a great place,” as well, the source also tells Us . But when it comes to actually choosing a name for baby number 4, things aren’t going as smoothly. KimYe has always been known for their unique baby names, so they probably aren’t referencing any baby books for inspiration. “Kim and Kanye are not close to naming the new baby,” the insider added. “They won’t know until the week before and probably only day of. It’s quite the process.” It was first revealed back in January that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians  star and her husband are expecting their fourth child together via surrogate. The baby boy is said to be due “in very early May.” The KKW Beauty mogul confirmed that she was expanding her family’s newest addition while on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen  with her sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian. Kim admits that the news got out there because of her loose lips while drinking during the holidays. “It’s out there,” she admitted. “I got drunk at our Christmas Eve party, and I told some people. I can’t remember who I told, because I never get drunk.” The KUWTK star was honest about the fact that she was initially nervous about adding a fourth child into her already big family, but revealed she’s more at ease while on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon back in February. “I was kind of stressing that my house is so full, but I heard that parents of four are the most enlightened and calm of all parents,” she said at the time. Kanye West and Kim Kardashian tied the knot in 2013, one year after welcoming their first child, North. She became an older sister in 2015 when Saint arrived, followed by Chicago in January 2018.

Cardi B Sues Over Claims She’s a Herpes-Spreading Prostitute

Thanks to a lot of work,  Cardi B and Offset saved their marriage  and are back together. But now, a pair of bloggers are threatening to ruin her life and reputation. Cardi is suing a pair of women for claiming that she is a “prostitute” who spends her days “spreading her herpes.” TMZ reports that Cardi B is suing Latasha K, a vlogger, over a series of posts on her channel, Unwine With Tasha K. Across 23 videos uploaded during a 14-month span, Latasha has allegedly made outrageous claims about Cardi. According to the lawsuit, Latasha made a post last April in which she made a claim that Kulture would be born with intellectual disabilities. The implication was that Cardi was a regular substance abuser and continued to do so during her pregnancy. While it is understandable that Cardi would sue over someone claiming she endangered her daughter, there’s more to this. Cardi is also suing Starmarie Ebony Jones. Starmarie, according to the lawsuit, posted a video in September with some wild claims about Cardi of her own. She alleged that Cardi did cocaine and Molly (that’s ecstasy, folks). To make matters worse, she accused Cardi of being a “prostitute” who had herpes and carelessly spread it to others. The suit claims that Starmarie said that Cardi is “just a Grammy nominated prostitute running around spreading her herpes.” Cardi is taking aim at both women in court, but they already know each other. Starmarie made a guest appearance on Unwine With Tasha K. In that appearance, according to the lawsuit, both women spread further claims about sexually transmitted infections. In that same video, both women level more sex work allegations at Cardi. Unless these women can prove that their claims are true or at least that they have evidence for them, this will not be a fun lawsuit for them. Cardi says that she has never been a user of either cocaine or Molly. She is not a full service sex worker and never has been. She also emphatically denies having herpes. According to Cardi, she gave both women plenty of time to simply retract their statements. People get carried away and then have to put out apologies all of the time. But these women have not withdrawn their claims, so Cardi is moving forward by suing them for defamation. She is also seeking an injunction to force the deletion of the videos. First and foremost, allegations of drug use are bad, but they pale beside implications of drug use while pregnant. Kulture is the center of Cardi’s whole world. Smearing someone’s reputation is a far cry from accusing them of neglect, abuse, or in this case, of risking giving birth to a “crack baby.” Cardi loves Kulture, even going so far as to take back the man who cheated on her with fans because Cardi wants Kulture to have both parents. We would be interested to know Latasha K felt confident enough to speak those accusations on her vlog. Or was she just trying to say inflammatory things to make a splash? It may be that Cardi ends up having to prove that the claims against her are untrue. If so, blood tests could show that she hasn’t used cocaine or Molly. More importantly, the herpes claim could be especially easy to disprove. If she takes a test and doesn’t have herpes, then the claim that she does is a lie. But we hope that it doesn’t come down to her having to prove her innocence in court with such invasive tests. View Slideshow: Offset Lavishes Cardi B with Ridiculously Expensive Christmas Gifts

It’s Really Over: For The First Time In 9 Seasons, LeBron James Won’t Be Going To The Playoffs

Source: Kevork Djansezian / Getty LeBron James Won’t Be In The Playoffs This Year It’s official: LeBron James has been eliminated from the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season. The Lakers were out defeated on Friday night when the Brooklyn Nets beat them in a tight race of 111-106. As for the team itself, this will be the sixth year in a row the Lakers have missed the postseason, which just so happens to be a franchise record (but not the good kind). This loss also drops the Los Angeles Lakers’ record to 31-41 for the entire season. LeBron’s signing at the beginning of this season originally gave the Lakers something to look forward to. It was all good just a few months ago, when the team was in fourth place in the Western Conference after a Christmas Day victory against Golden State. But that’s also when things started to go downhill, as James suffered a groin injury during that same game and had to sit out for a career-long 17 games. The Lakers ended up only winning 6 of those 17 games without him and the team as a whole just wasn’t able to bounce back. This transition to the Lakers also marks a big year of firsts (or at least the firsts in a long time) for LeBron. In addition to missing out on the postseason for the first time in 14 years, LeBron’s streak of playing in eight consecutive NBA Finals has officially come to an end. The last Finals without LeBron were in 2010, when the Lakers beat the Celtics in seven games. The only bright side to this? LeBron has a lot of stuff up his sleeve outside of basketball, so he probably won’t be too bored during his extra time off.
