Selena Gomez: Was Her Breakdown Caused By Justin Bieber’s Marriage?

Last month, fans were stunned by the news that Justin Bieber and Hailie Baldwin had gotten married in a small, private ceremony in New York City. Just weeks later, Justin’s most famous ex, Selena Gomez, suffered an emotional breakdown that resulted in her hospitalization. Fans unfairly blamed Baldwin for Gomez’s breakdown , and while such criticisms are patently absurd, the timing of the two headline-making events makes it difficult to argue that there’s no correlation. Now, sources close to Gomez are confirming that Bieber’s abrupt engagement and marriage did play a role in her fragile mental state — but that’s not the whole story. “Selena can be a delicate flower, especially because she has had constant medical struggles, but Justin’s engagement and quick marriage threw her off guard and hit her hard,” one insider tells People magazine. “She and Justin have been on and off for years, although they were so young when it all began,” the source adds. “Justin was her first big love, and she isn’t over him.” Fortunately, the insider confirms that Selena’s condition is improving, and she’s fully committed to the hard work of recovery. “Selena is feeling better,” the source tells People . “She is getting the help she needs.” As for Justin, he’s said to be having a tremendously difficult time and is deeply concerned with his ex’s well-being. “This was his first great love, and while he was young and traveling around the world as a superstar, he learned a great deal from her,” one insider says. “He was extremely upset over what has happened to Selena,” adds the source, who People identifies as a figure in the Miami music scene. “He feels like she is part of his life and he wants her to be happy and healthy.” Asked if Selena’s issues could have a negative impact on Bieber and Baldwin’s relationship, the insider admitted: “It could be a problem down the road.” Just when you thought the Justin-Selena drama had permanently come to an end. We guess these two will remain inextricably linked in the minds of fans until the end of time.

Teen Mom OG Recap: The Breakdown of Bristol Palin

Teen Mom OG has gone all in on Bristol Palin this season. For better or worse. Despite a pretty severe drop in the ratings for the first few episodes, the show has dedicated a bulk of its time to Bristol's failing marriage. She and Dakota Meyer continue to clash over the latter's PTSD and the effect it has on the couple's relationship. Things have turned very ugly between the now-former spouses. What prompted Palin to break down into a puddle of tears on the latest Teen Mom OG installment? Scroll down for a recap of storylines and events… 1. Tiime Apart We opened this week with Palin taking off for Los Angeles in order to support son Tripp’s appearance on Dancing with the Stars: Juniors. This enabled her and Dakota to get a break after last week’s very difficult talks and admissions. 2. Now What, Though? Meyer was anxious to get the divorce process over with, however, so he called up his estranged spouse. And Palin immediately became combative, replying: “I know my lawyer sent you something the other day about, you know, please don’t touch my stuff. As soon as I find a new house, I’m be gone like the wind.” 3. I’d Like Some Props! Bristol continued on this call, giving herself a lot of credit for some reason by adding: “There’s no need for us to fight. There’s no need for us to have bad blood between us. It’s all gonna be good. I’ll be there. I’m a great mom. I’ll continue to be a great mom.” 4. Frustration Grows “Do you see what I have to deal with on the back side of it? It’s around and around, it’s way off topic,” Dakota told producers after the call. “Why do the attorneys have to come into it? I have no doubt that her mom is sitting right next to her, stoking that fire. It’s unfortunate that a communication about the children has to be this exhausting.” 5. Don’t Ya Know?!? Sarah Palin was in Los Angeles with her daughter, offering advice like only she can. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn,” Sarah told her child. According to the former Vice Presidential candidate, the lesson here had something to do with “possessions and materialism” and how they don’t “amount to a hill of beans.” 6. Life is Suddenly Amazing! Back in Austin, Texas, Dakota said the two weeks without Brisol around made him the “happiest that I’ve ever been since 2015.” He added it felt “like what someone would feel like after they get out of a life sentence prison: incredible.” LOL/OUCH!

You’re Not Alone: Serena Williams Opens Up About An Insecurity Many Women Can Relate To

Source: Maria Aufmuth / Getty Serena Williams Reveals She Struggles With Self-Doubts As A Mom Serena Williams was one of several speakers at the Pennsylvania Conference for Women where she talked motherhood , disparities in health outcomes between black and white moms, and more. You’ll recall Serena nearly died after giving birth to her adorable daughter, Alexis Olympia . In an article written for CNN back in February, she revealed: “First my C-section wound popped open due to the intense coughing I endured as a result of the embolism. I returned to surgery, where the doctors found a large hematoma, a swelling of clotted blood, in my abdomen. And then I returned to the operating room for a procedure that prevents clots from traveling to my lungs.” At the time, Serena also spoke about Black moms-to-be not getting proper care: “According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, black women in the United States are over three times more likely to die from pregnancy or childbirth-related causes. But this is not just a challenge in the United States. Around the world, thousands of women struggle to give birth in the poorest countries. When they have complications like mine, there are often no drugs, health facilities or doctors to save them. If they don’t want to give birth at home, they have to travel great distances at the height of pregnancy.” Now, according to The Philly Voice , she told some 10,000 women on Friday: “I did some research and I was alarmed that our black mothers are not being taken care of. It’s in this country that is supposed to be so technologically advanced. Why are we treating out mothers like this?” Adding, “It’s really unacceptable…I feel like if I can help save lives—that’s one of the best things that you can do.” Source: Gilbert Carrasquillo / WireImage / Getty In the process of gushing about how supportive her husband, Alexis Ohanian , has been, Serena also told the crowd she has some insecurities: “I always have these insecurities that I’m not good enough as a mom. We all go through these different emotions that we all don’t feel comfortable talking about. But I think we should.” You’ve got to love her.

Johns Hopkins University To Name Campus Building After Henrietta Lacks

E arlier this year it was announced that Henrietta Lacks —a Black woman whose cells were used without her consent to further medical research —would have her painting added to the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, D.C. Now, Lacks will be honored in another special way. Johns Hopkins University recently shared that it would name one of their campus buildings after Lacks, the Baltimore Sun reported. Johns Hopkins University will name a new interdisciplinary building after Henrietta Lacks, a Baltimore woman whose cells were the basis of research for numerous modern medical breakthroughs. https://t.co/bEqVbpqVdK — The Baltimore Sun (@baltimoresun) October 8, 2018 The Baltimore-based school revealed the news at the Henrietta Lacks Memorial Lecture that’s hosted each year, the news outlet writes. The structure—which will stand on the university’s East Baltimore campus—is slated to open its doors in 2022. “[The building] will be a place that stands as an enduring and powerful testament to a woman who not only was the beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother to generations of the Lacks family, but the genesis of generations of miraculous discoveries that have changed the landscape of modern medicine and that have benefited in truth the much larger family of humanity entirely,” said the university’s president Ronald Daniels . Lacks has complex ties to the university. According to the news outlet, her cells were taken from her without her knowledge while she underwent a medical procedure in the 1950s at Johns Hopkins Hospital. Her cells, dubbed “HeLa” cells, were able to live outside of her body and furthered research related to in vitro fertilization and cancer treatments. She ended up passing away due to cervical cancer. Her loved ones are honored that the school decided to name a building after her. “It is a proud day for the Lacks family. We have been working with Hopkins for many years now on events and projects that honor our grandmother,” Lacks’ granddaughter Jeri Lacks said in a statement, according to Diverse Issues. “They are all meaningful, but this is the ultimate honor, one befitting of her role in advancing modern medicine.” SEE ALSO: Henrietta Lacks’ Portrait Will Live At The Smithsonian Museum Oakland Museum To Digitize Rare Footage Of Black Protests [ione_media_gallery src=”https://newsone.com” id=”3830165″ overlay=”true”]

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson Surprise Absolutely No One by Breaking Up

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have called off their engagement. We’ll give you a minute to recover from the shock… Wait? What’s that? You aren’t stunned at all because this was the most obvious break-up of all-time? Fair point. According to People Magazine, Us Weekly and other reliable outlets, the singer and the Saturday Night Live cast member have called off their short, albeit intense, romance. The stars started dating late this spring and then announced their engagement, like, two weeks later , taking the celebrity gossip and entertainment universe by storm. Most folks assumed Davidson and Grande were moving way too quickly and that the relationship would eventually fizzle out and… well… … that’s pretty much what has happened. “It was way too much too soon,” a source close to Grande tells People Magazine. “It’s not shocking to anyone.” This same source says the decision to go their separate ways was mutually agreed upon by both halves of the famous couple. While the split doesn’t really come as a surprise to anyone at all, there hadn’t been any recent rumors of tension at least. The latest chatter, in fact, has been centered around whether or not Grande was pregnant with Davidson’s child. The comedian himself even joked about knocking Grande up just a few weeks ago, as he and Ariana were certainly very open about the seriousness of their relationship during the four months it lasted. Alas, it is now over. “It happened this weekend,” an insider tells Us Weekly, adding: “They realized it happened too quick and too early. The wedding is off, but they’re working things out. They’re not officially done yet.” It’s unclear what Grande will do with the $100,000 engagement ring Davidson gifted her; and it’s also unclear whether the traumatic death of Grande’s ex , Mac Miller, played any role in the demise of this romance. Over the past several days, it’s been clear that Grande has been going through a lot. The artist has been Tweeting a handful of personal messages and saying she needs a break from the public spotlight, asking at point: “can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls.” Twitter users, meanwhile, reacted in many different ways to the break-up. Some were taken aback. Some were delighted. Others yawned over how clear it was to see it coming. “am i surprised that pete and ariana broke up? no. but am i supposed to be happy about that? no. imagine how she is doing right now,” wrote one person, while another added: “if you’re celebrating ariana and pete splitting, you don’t care about ariana’s happiness. Bye.” Back on September 7, Miller died of a drug overdose. He and Grande dated for about two years and didn’t split up all that long before Ariana got together with Davidson. “Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend,” her team said in September. “She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding.” This Saturday, Grande also canceled a scheduled performance, at F–k Cancer’s inaugural Barbara Berlanti Heroes fundraising gala, where her manager Scooter Braun’s wife Yael Cohen Braun received an honor for her work as co-founder of the group. Said Braun in front of the crowd: “One of the most amazing things about this organization is that they help people when they’re having the worst moments in their life, and they give sympathy and a calm nature to people in need in those moments. “And you saw your invite, someone I’m very close to was supposed to come sing for you today, and because of things that she’s going through, she couldn’t be here today. “And while I was frustrated, being the manager, my wife, being who she always is, just looked at me and she goes, ‘She needs this time.'” We continue to wish Ariana the best. And now Davidson the best as well.

Kim Garner’s See Through Dress of the Day

We may not fully know who Kim Garner is or what Kim Garner does, but I’ve told you before and I will tell you again, the most important Kim Garner fact you need to know is not that she’s Jennifer Garner’s cousin, or sister, or daughter from a previous marriage… It’s that she’s been so thirsty to get more famous, to leverage her existing low level fame and make it in America…that she’s done the bikini pics, the selfies, shown off her hot body, been to all the events and no one fucking cares. So she’s put on a see through top, with her tits out, she know people will start to care. It’s interesting that feminism has progressed so much in our lifetime, yet it still takes showing your tits to get noticed and followed and work…. Pretty sad women are so basic, when they could be way more clever, but their laziness and need to be a housewife who doesn’t work will always control them, and pulling out tits is easier than actually doing anything that would require effort… Slackers….

LET’S MAKEUP: Ella Mai’s 2018 American Music Awards Red Carpet Makeup

Read the original here:

(Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic) At Tuesday night’s 2018 American Music Awards,  “Booed Up” singer Ella Mai hit the red carpet with shimmery skin, glossy lids, neat brows, brown lips, and a brushed out ponytail . The pared down yet powerful beauty look was as young and fresh as the star in the making sporting it. This makeup look was the perfect compliment to her stunning robin’s egg blue suit with a longline buttoned blazer . Want to recreate the look your next special occasion? We’re showing you how! Keep on reading below.  (Photo by Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic) Start with a hydrating base like Smashbox Photo Finish Hydrating Foundation Primer ($36 Ulta.com). Unlike more mattifying options this smoothing pick it won’t fight against the shine you’re adding to your skin. Top it with a great liquid foundation like  Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation($49.00 Ulta.com) .  Leave the dramatic lashes at home for when you’re trying to channel Cardi B. This look requires something a little more subtle like the KISS Looks So Natural Lash Flirty, Multipack ($11.99) . The goal is to add effortless volume that will leave everyone focused on you not that glob of glue in the corner of your eye. And as an added bonus there’s a ton in a pack so you can hold on to them to layer inside of a more theatrical look later on.  Keep your brows perfectly groomed with this Brow Envy kit from Too Faced ($12.97 Hautelook.com) . (Photo by David Crotty/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) Get Mai’s chocolatey lip by swiping on some Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in “Unveil” ($24 Sephora.com) . The color literally looks great on everyone and depending on your skin tone it can be played upon in a million different ways. Don’t forget to add some liner to prevent feathering. The NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKEUP Slim Lip Pencil ($3.99) in Nutmeg is the perfect match for this shade. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Get her peachy lids by applying a small bit of Glossier’s Cloud Paint in “Beam” ($18 Glossier.com) to your eyelids instead of your cheeks for a rich base. The versatile product is everywhere for a reason! It’s pigmented without being overbearing and it’s buildable so you can play with it without committing.  Carefully define the lower lids with short strokes of Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner ($9.99 Ulta.com)  (Photo by David Crotty/Patrick McMullan via Getty Images) Layer some Lamik Beauty eye decor in Cheesecake ($18 LamikBeauty.com) on top to get the full effect. We love Lamik Beauty as it’s also a black owned, female owned brand. Yesss! We love the sheer blush on Ella Mai’s cheeks.  Add some  NARS Liquid Blush in Orgasm ($30 Sephora.com) or fake it until you make it by adding some of your favorite face oil to Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso ($6.99 Target.com) to get the look for less. Show off your angles and blind them with some highlighter. Apply an extra dollop of glow Rihanna Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter in Metal Moon from Fenty Beauty ($34 Sephora.com) to your forehead chin and cheeks using a fan brush ($6.99 CVS) .  Like it’s more popular sister product ‘ Trophy Wife’ this product doesn’t leave you looking ghostly.  (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images For dcp) Ella Mai’s hair was perfectly in place and laid to perfection. Hold on to your hard work by choosing a finishing spray that won’t make everything feel hard and cakey. Try out a travel size version of Tarte’s ready, set, radiant skin mist ($12 Tarte.com) . It’s filled with antioxidants and cucumber extracts so it provides more of flexible hold.  Finish off the look by adding an unexpected twist like she did with her ear cuff,  choker, and ring choices because scaling things back beauty wise will allow for accessories to make even more of a statement.
