Source: Noam Galai / Stringer / Getty Getting news in real time on social media wasn’t really a thing until The Shade Room came along — and now the Instagram account has found another way to be innovative while pushing the culture forward. Angelica Nwandu, founder of The Shade Room, recently announced that the digital media company would be producing its own original programs set to debut exclusively on their Instagram page. The four new original unscripted series (which will feature celebrity guests including Ray J , Amber Riley , Tami Roman and more) include “Petty Court,” a court show for guests to air all of their petty grievances; “Struggle Chef,” a cooking competition series and “F-boy Chronicles,” an investigative look into guys known as “F-boys”. Veteran television producer and 3 time Emmy-nominated showrunner Tarvenia “T” Jones and up-and-coming producer Judith Nwandu will produce the new series while Nwandu will serve as Executive Producer. Nwandu said in statement: “We’re thrilled to announce our first slate of original programming as The Shade Room celebrates its fifth anniversary this year. The series reinforce our commitment to providing entertainment that caters to black culture and allows us to collaborate even more closely with our Roommates, who truly make TSR feel like a family.” Will you be watching?
Farrah Abraham apparently thinks she is just like Beyonce. No, she doesn't have any singing or dancing talent — and she definitely is not admired by millions around the globe. But Abraham has said in a new interview that she views herself as being irreplaceable. (Okay, granted, in Beyonce's song “Irreplaceable,” she's talking about a cheating boyfriend being under the misguided impression that he's irreplaceable. But still.) The polarizing reality star has something to say about Bristol Palin leaving Teen Mom OG and even more to say about who she thinks ought to come on board for the new season. You likely won't be shocked by her answer. Scroll down to read it for yourself, however… 1. What is Farrah Abraham’s History with MTV? She was cast on 16 and Pregnant way back in 2008. She then starred on Teen Mom from 2009 all the way up through 2017. 2. And She Was Then Fired Because… … she appeared in a number of amateur pornography videos online. As one does. 3. But the Network Can’t Really Say Goodbye In late 2018, Farrah joined the cast of Ex on the Beach because, let’s face it, she’s a ratings draw. Viewers love to hate her. 4. And Now Farrah Wants to Save MTV From Itself… You see, Bristol Palin was brought in to replace Farrah — but ratings for her one season on the show tanked. Fans did not care for Bristol’s divorce storyline, or maybe they just didn’t care about Bristol herself at all. 5. See Ya, Losers! Dissatisfied herself with her role on the series, Bristol quit after just this one season, jumping up high on her pedestal and writing online: “Teen mom OG wasn’t a fit for me, it took away my peace.. and honestly – my peace has a price tag that no one but God can afford.” 6. She Added at the Time: “$ doesn’t impress me, I don’t entertain bs, and walking away from this show allows God to rebuild me (and my little fam) in the right direction.” View Slideshow
It’s pretty unusual to be surprised by a Duggar family pregnancy announcement. Heck, in the past several weeks alone, Kendra Duggar has confirmed she’s pregnant with her second child… … and so has Amy Duggar … … and so has Jessa Seewald . But we still did a double take and our jaw must still be removed from the jaw after learning on Friday afternoon that Anna Duggar is ALSO pregnant. With her sixth child! “We couldn’t be happier to share with the world that our family is growing by one this Fall,” Anna and controversial husband Josh Duggar told Us Weekly in a statement, adding: “We continually stand amazed by God’s love, redemption, grace and blessings in our lives. Our entire little family is ecstatic!” The pair got married in 2008 and are already parents to Mackynzie, 9, Michael, 7, Marcus, 5, Meredith, 3, and Mason, 19 months. Many observers are likely focusing on the word redemption used by Anna above — because it tells the story of why we are so taken aback by this pregnancy news. Back in the spring of 2015, Josh was forced to admit that he molested his own sisters when he was a teenager. Josh’s parents were aware of this inappropriate behavior at the time it transpired, but chose not to alert any authorities. Following Josh’s extended stay at a faith-based rehabilitation center in the wake of this wild and awful scandal, the couple entered marriage counseling following their difficult year. Not long afterward the molestation reveal, Josh also admitted to being a member of the website Ashley Madison , whose users signed on in order to find members of the opposite sex with whom they could cheat on their spouses. “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever,” he said in a statement after his cheating was exposed, adding in the summer of 2015: “While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife. “I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.” Josh concluded with an apology: “I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.” It must have worked, too, because Amy announced she was pregnant with the couple’s fifth child in 2015. However, TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of Josh’s multiple controversies — while he and Anna mostly receded from the spotlight. In July 2018, though, Anna shared a numerous of family photos to Instagram, where she reflected on the past decade of life and the “wonderful adventure” that it has been. “June was an exciting month for our family: Marcus, Michael and I are are officially a year older + Josh and I celebrated our 10 year engagement anniversary!” she wrote in the caption, continuing as follows: “The past 10 years have been a wonderful adventure. So thankful for God’s redeeming grace and His blessings to us along the way, especially our 5 M’s!” Anna was widely mocked and criticized at the time for referring to the scandals described above as a wonderful adventure . Still, however, a baby is a blessing, right? In two videos shared to social media, both Anna and Josh give their kids a series of cut out paper letters, which they together spell out to read, “New baby coming this fall.” “Mommy’s having a baby!” Anna says to her children, who yell and scream in excitement. It is very cute. We certainly wish Anna all the health and happiness possible with this pregnancy. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, meanwhile, expressed their enthusiasm for the couple this evening, writing this message on their website: “We are so happy for Josh & Anna, expecting their 6th child and our 16th grandchild! Each child is a blessing from God! Anna is one of the most amazing women in the world, she is a Proverbs 31 woman! “Anna & Josh are good parents and it is going to be neat to see what God does with each one of their children’s lives. “Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith and Mason are so excited to have a little sibling on the way! God is at work in their sweet little family! He has blessed them with another child! “What a gift! The best days for their family are still ahead!” View Slideshow: Anna Duggar: Weight Loss Transformation Stuns Fans!

Source: Tom Szczerbowski / Getty LeSean McCoy Spoiled Avengers Endgame On Twitter Literally millions of people have spent a good portion of the last week dodging the nefariously-shared spoilers to Avengers Endgame that have been proliferated online. Those efforts to remain untainted by internet joy thieves might have remained largely successful…until today. While Thanos is thought to be the most hated villain in the Marvel Universe for the atrocities that he committed, LeSean “Shady” McCoy is most certainly the Thanos of this universe for his high crimes against pop culture. We will not repeat what the potential CTE patient posted on Twitter, but suffice to say the spoiler was HUGE and people are PISSED! Because LeSean McCoy tweeted out a massive spolier for #AvengersEndgame a reminder that last year McCoy was held under 70 total yds in 10 of 14 gms, was RB45 in points per game & gained 5+ yards on just 25.5% of carries (among 47 qualified RBs, only Legarrette Blount was worse) — Matthew Berry (@MatthewBerryTMR) April 26, 2019 Some have taken the time to note that LeSean McCoy was eligible for trash bag of the year long before spoiling a comic book movie. If you’ll remember, this is the same man who was accused of sending men to pistol whip and maim his girlfriend Delicia Cordon. So, yeah, f**k him regardless. It takes for Lesean McCoy to spoil Avengers for y’all to finally know he’s a scumbag? Not the baby mama twitter stuff. Cheap tipper stuff. Alleged beat down for hire stuff?

Taylor Swift is officially back, folks. And so, it appears, is the artist’s feud with former sex tape star and producer, Kim Kardashian. As you absolutely must know by now, these two celebrities do not get along. The feud started about three years ago, when Kim leaked audio of a phone conversation between Swift and Kanye West in which the former signed off on lyrics penned by the latter for the track “Famous.” This stood in contract to how Swift publicly acted shocked and appalled when Kanye referred to Taylor as a “bitch” in this very same song. Kardashian was basically trashing Swift as a liar and a phony and trying to put to rest the singer’s persona as being all nice and wholesome and harmless. We’re not here to relitigate this rivalry now or anything, just to quickly catch readers uo. As part of Kim’s anti-Swift campaign, she started to use a snake emoji as a way to reference her famous foe. Taylor, meanwhile, has attempted to throw this imagery/animal back in Kardashian’s face, often bringing out a (pretend) snake on stage alongside side her during various tour dates. All this background brings us to Swift’s brand new music video for the song “ME!” It was released early on April 26 and you can check it out here: Taylor Swift Drops New Music Video! Listen to “ME!” Unlike many of the songs and videos off her previous album, “Reputation,” this track is filled with positive lyrics and bright scenery. But it opens with – yes, you guessed it! – footage of a snake slithering across the screen — prior to this snake turning into a bunch of butterflies, seemingly signaling that Swift is done with her Kardashian feud and ready to focus on happier things in life. Social media users have been very impressed by the transition, as evidenced below: HOWEVER, it looks like Kardashian has now fired back after the cryptic video’s release. Just consider what Kim posted to ger Instagram Story mere hours after Swift’s new video went viral. “I am obsessed!!!!” Kim captioned the shot of snake jewelry, which we presume is part of the businesswoman’s KKW Beauty collection. Interesting timing, huh? To suddenly include this necklace and Kim’s penchant for it in the wake of Swift’s return to music? Last month, Swift went after Kardashian during an interview with ELLE. She praised herself for overcoming the shade constantly hurled in her direction by someone Swift believes is a bully, telling the magazine: “I learned that disarming someone’s petty bullying can be as simple as learning to laugh. In my experience, I’ve come to see that bullies want to be feared and taken seriously. “A few years ago, someone started an online hate campaign by calling me a snake on the internet. The fact that so many people jumped on board with it led me to feeling lower than I’ve ever felt in my life.” Swift concluded this section of the interview by saying of herself and Kardashian: “It would be nice if we could get an apology from people who bully us, but maybe all I’ll ever get is the satisfaction of knowing I could survive it, and thrive in spite of it.” Read more excerpts below and then decide: Whose side are you on in this never-ending beef?

Joe Giudice hasn’t received much in the way of good news in recent months. As you’ve likely heard, Giudice may be headed for deportation and is currently being held in a Pennsylvania ICE facility. Last week, Giudice’s appeal was denied , and the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star is now left with little in the way of legal recourse. But apparently, fortune smiled on Giudice briefly today. According to Radar Online, Giudice’s deportation was delayed today so that a federal judge might review his petition for appeal. “Order temporarily granting motion for stay of removal…Removal is stayed until such time as the Court can consider the motion for stay of removal,” reads a court document obtained by the site. “We will continue to fight to keep Mr. Giudice in the United States, the only country he knows, and reunite him with his wife and four daughters,” Joe’s attorney lawyer James J. Leonard Jr. said in a statement to Radar. Obviously, that’s good news, as it means Giudice’s appeal hasn’t been thrown out completely. But these are likely tense times for Juicy Joe, as this will almost certainly be his last chance to convince a judge he deserves to remain in the United States. Along with his wife, Teresa Giudice, Joe was convicted of tax fraud back in 2015. The Giudices were allowed to serve their sentences back-to-back for the sake of their kids. At this point, they’ve both done their time — but since Joe was born in Italy and never became a US citizen, he may face the additional penalty of deportation. Earlier this week, Joe and Teresa’s daughter, Gia Giudice, posted a petition in which issues a heartfelt plea on her father’s behalf. “My father is not a danger to society, he is a warm loving man and I beg you sign our petition to give my father a second chance at being part of our lives and giving back to the community we live in once again,” the 18-year-old wrote. She addressed President Trump directly in the petition, which may be a good strategy, as Teresa starred in a season of The Apprentice during Trump’s tenure as host. But while the petition has already received 50,000 signatures, the outlook is still bleak for Joe An immigration judge who asked to remain anonymous tells Radar there’s “virtually no chance” that his appeal will be successful. We guess Joe might want to start boning up on his Italian! View Slideshow: 23 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates (and Everyone Else)
