Mariah Carey Reportedly Had Weight-Loss Surgery After Body Criticism

Here is the original post:

Celebrities are victims of body-shaming and harsh critiques just like the normal, average citizen, which can bring out insecurities and self-consciousness in even the strongest individuals. Allegedly Mariah Carey was so upset regarding the criticism about her weight, that she recently underwent weight-loss surgery. EXCLUSIVE: Body shamers spur Mariah Carey to have weight-loss surgery https://t.co/UGrSx1ZvXw pic.twitter.com/7Rv5pfXGWw — Page Six (@PageSix) November 7, 2017 It’s being reported by Page Six that superstar Mariah Carey had gastric sleeve surgery back in October after being unable to handle the harsh opinions, critiques and body-shaming she received due to her supposed weight gain. The procedure was reportedly performed in Beverly Hills by one of the country’s top surgeons. A source close to Carey, told Page Six that “Mariah has always been proud of her curves, but this summer, as her Caesars Palace residency came to a close, and then she went on tour with Lionel Richie, she noticed it became harder to dance, and she was getting a lot more criticism online from body shamers.” The report goes into further detail about what initially caused Carey’s weight gain, citing increased late-night eating and cocktails after shows with current boyfriend and back-up dancer Bryan Tanaka. Things are apparently looking up after the surgery, as the source says “Mariah underwent the procedure about a month ago, and she is already seeing some good results, and she feels a lot better.” Meanwhile, just last week Carey officially parted ways with her controversial manager Stella Bulochnikov after almost three years of working together. Currently boyfriend Bryan Tanaka has taken over the day-to-day responsibilities of being Carey’s manager.   Check out today’s Top Stories here: DMX Lands Reality Show ‘In The Dog House’ Trina Braxton: We’re Spending Lots Of Time With Tamar After Split

90 Day Fiance: Did Darcey Silva & Jesse Meester Split?

This isn't the first time that we've had to wonder if  Darcey Silva and Jesse Meester are still together . The couple comes from different continents and also different generations. This time, though, the two had a huge Instagram fight. That's about as public as a fight can get without being on pay-per-view. They've been a staple of 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days . Fans are understandably concerned that they're splitting before the 90 days ever begin. In case you need a quick refresher: 90 Day Fiance is so named because US immigration policy permits someone engaged to a US citizen to enter the country in order to live with their fiance for as long as 90 days. After that period of time, however, the couple needs to marry … or go their separate ways. 90 Day Fiance follows couples as they undergo that process. In some cases, that means that they are meeting in person for the first time in months — or even for the first time at all. 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days is a spin-off series that finds couples before the 90-day clock starts ticking. Which means that they are not yet in the US as a couple. Darcey Silva is 42-year-old American. Jesse Meester is a 24-year-old Dutch hottie. Seriously, he's a fitness model. From judgmental friends and relatives who have issues with their age difference to the regular differences that two distinct individuals might have in their personalities, Darcey and Jesse have not been a sure thing. Fans and viewers have been on the edges of their seats. Will the couple make it? Well, just a couple of days ago, someone threw a wrench into this relationship. And that someone was Darcey Silva. She allegedly drunkenly attacked one of Jesse's fans on Instagram. Don't mix jealousy and booze, folks. (Frankly, there are real stories of Instagram models connecting with fans, so jealousy here might be toxic but it's kinda understandable) The two of them weren't secretive about how unhappy they were with each other. Darcey responded to a fan's innocuous comment with: “Maybe you guys got something special. If u want him then just ask him.” Jesse replied to that with: “Sorry for that! She knows she has a problem with alcohol and shouldn't do this. She knows she needs help and shouldn't randomly attack or accuse people when she drinks.” That's Jesse straight-up accusing Darcey of being an alcoholic. We're not saying that we have any evidence that he's wrong, but we are saying that this isn't healthy for a relationship. The spat ended up with deleted comments. This was only a few days ago — on October 29th. This was Sunday. Fast forward a couple of days, however, and the couple is singing a different tune. In the video that you'll see below, Darcey and Jesse make it clear that they're still together. They added this caption: “What you haven’t seen yet… Our love story! Thank you all for being a part of this. I love my girl with all my heart. We grow, we fight, we make mistakes, but we always love and overcome!” Jesse included a couple of heart emojis with that, which makes it even sweeter. Some people, as hard as this is for the rest of us to understand, argue pretty regularly with their significant others. That sounds super toxic, but we guess that Darcey and Jesse don't mind. This sweet video isn't the first time that they've put their affection on display. Darcey is all too happy to talk about how sexy Jesse is and even about their sex life. She also shared this caption with a photo of the two of them: “I am his Queen…He is my King…Together we are bonded by our soul & love…Together as a Twinflame we build our Empire…Together as one we love, create and manifest our true Love Legacy.” That's very sweet and also the sort of thing that you should maybe whisper into a lit candle or a crystal or whatever instead of posting on Instagram. It's a lot. But this reassuring video that they shared with their fans hit just the right tone. It's precious.

Selena Gomez Splits from The Weeknd; Let the Jelena Chatter Begin!

One relationship is over for Selena Gomez. But will another soon begin… … again? Multiple outlets have confirmed that Gomez has split from The Weeknd, her boyfriend of about 10 months, paving the way for inevitable Justin Bieber reconciliation rumors to get started in earnest. Selena and The Weeknd were spotted making out on the streets of Los Angeles in January, going public with a romance that had been bantered about online for a few weeks. Just a few weeks ago, they were again seen swapping spit on the red carpet of a Harper’s Bazaar-sponsored event in New York City, with a source telling Us Weekly at the time: “They’re rock solid and very happy together.” So… what happened since then to cause a break up? Justin Bieber apparently happened. Gomez and Bieber, who dated for the first time in 2011 and have split/gotten back together approximately 279 times since then, have been spending more and more time together of late. It started when the stars hung out at Selena’s house last Sunday … until midnight or so, sources said. Fast forward a few days to this past weekend and Selena and Justin didn’t just chill once more — they got breakfast together ! And attended church services together! We’re talking about some rather intimate experiences. According to insiders, Bieber learned of Selena’s semi-recent kidney transplant and got back into contact with his ex. He was concerned about her well-being and, considering how serious her condition apparently became , he had good reason to be. Could this scare have triggered something inside of Bieber? Might he have come close to losing Gomez forever, realized that he truly loved her and is now doing all he can to get back into her good graces? It seems very possible, doesn’t it? Millions of fans around the country are likely praying for this to be the case. But not anyone in Selena’s family. They are doing the opposite of praying for a rekindled romance.  “Justin is a vile human and will never be accepted by us,” an unnamed loved one told TMZ amidst talk that these two really may become lovers again. He or she added: “As long as she is even speaking to him in any way, it is not only disrespectful to everyone around her, it is disrespectful to herself.” Ouch! How does this person really feel, we wonder? And what will folks say when the next version of Jelena is confirmed? Because you know it’s coming, right?

Son of Syndicated Radio Host Delilah Commits Suicide

Delilah Rene, a nationally syndicated radio host who specializes in dedicating love songs to fans who call in, broke some awful news to her Facebook followers yesterday: Her son, Zachariah, committed suicide last Tuesday. “My dear friends, I need to share some devastating news with you. In the early morning hours, Tuesday, October 3, my son Zachariah, took his life,” Delilah wrote to her 1.4 million online fans. She went on to give a bit of background on Zachariah’s condition: “He was being treated, counseled, and embraced fiercely by family and friends while battling depression for some time now. “My heart is broken beyond repair and I can not fathom how to go on… but I have to believe he is at peace with the Lord and that God will get us through.” In a January Facebook message, Delilah had said her son was autistic. Zack was one of the host’s 13 children, 10 of whom are adopted. Another child, Sammy, passed away in 2012 due to complications from sickle cell anemia, just two years after she adopted him from a Ghanaian refugee camp in West Africa. This is what she wrote after that personal tragedy: “My son Sammy passed from this world today into heaven, but he left behind a piece of his amazing soul in all that met him. “As painful as this moment is, I am so so so so so thankful that God allowed me, my family and friends to experience the essence of his soul for the past two years. “Everyone who met him was blessed by his big heart, his silly character voices, his wonderful sense of humor and his kindness towards all. “He was a precious, precious young man and I praise the Lord that I was allowed to be bathed in Sammy’s love as his “MommaBear”… “We have been forever changed by having him in our lives.” Delilah is proudly known as the “Queen of Sappy Love Songs.” She has responded to an endless array of requests and dedications throughout her impressive career, as her nightly show is recorded in her home and airs on various stations around the country. “I will be absent from the radio and on social media for a time as I grieve and try to process this loss with my family,” Delilah wrote on Facebook shortly after confirming Zach’s passing. She added: “In the meantime we’ll be playing some of my favorite shows from the recent past. I’ll look forward to my return, as you all lift me up so very much. “Please pray for my beloved Zacky, and I will pray for all suffering from this debilitating disease called depression.” View Slideshow: 24 Stars Who Committed Suicide
