Lamar Odom Gushes Over New GF Sabrina Parr: Khloe Kardashian, Who?!

Khloe Kardashian’s ex has found happiness!  No, not Tristan Thompson , the other equally terrible one — Lamar Odom. Lamar, who was legally married to Khloe for seven years, has made it super known that he has moved on and has found love with new GF — health and life coach Sabrina Parr!  The two began speculating romance rumors after TMZ captured videos of them making out in public, but it was pretty much confirmed later on after they decided to go Instagram official on us.  A source, however, quickly made a rather odd allegation against the new couple, telling  People that whatever was going on between them was “fake.” “They are not dating,” the source said. “There is nothing romantic going on with Sabrina and Lamar. It’s fake.” But Odom, who has been extremely vocal about his “new woman” on social media, shut down the reports right away. And now,  he is speaking out about his relationship with Parr. On Friday, the former NBA player sat down with his girlfriend for an interview with Dish Nation where he was asked about his new romance, as well as his highly publicized marriage to Khloe. Odom was with the reality star from 2009 until 2016, though the two actually split three years earlier due to his partying habits, drug overdose, and insane (!!) amount of affairs, which he opened up about in his book  ” Darkness to Light”. But despite their continuous support and love for one another, it looks like that train has officially left the station. During a “Rapid Fire” segment of the interview, Odom was asked about his feelings for the 35-year-old Kardashian. “I’ve definitely moved on,” he said. (ok, but new girl was sitting right there so of course he had to say that, right?)  But when he was asked if the Kardashian family put him under a “spell” (lol) he reacted perfectly and with grace.  “Hell no,” he said immediately. “I’m here and I’m alert. I’m present.  “I knew what I was getting myself into,” he added. “They always did right by me.” The conversation moved away from Khloe because awkward . .. but he didn’t hold anything back when it came to his current life with Parr. “What makes this relationship different from previous relationships?” host Gary Hayes asked. Odom said: “It’s the truth. She’s black.” “When a black woman comes along, ain’t playing,” Hayes joked, then Parr added, “Oh no, I was not playing at all.” “Yeah, she keeps it real,” Odom gushed. Hayes then went on to question Parr, asking her how on earth she was able to give Lamar ” a chance”, despite his rough past with sex and drug addiction, as well as his  near-fatal overdose in 2015 . Odom spoke first and said “Sometimes pain, I think, attracts women. The pain I’ve been through.” But Parr had a different, more understandable answer. “That wasn’t my story, I wasn’t attracted to the pain and the drama,” she said. “You have to meet people where they are.” “He was never in a position to be someone’s husband, you know?” the life coach added. “He was sick, he needed to heal, he neede to grieve. He experienced a lot of losses. And he never had time to go through that.” Well, it sounds like these two could actually be good for each other. So… here’s to a happy & healthy future for Lammy!

17 Truly Shocking Reality TV Scandals

Reality TV may help its stars earn a pretty penny, but it doesn't make their lives any less scandalous.  The Hollywood Gossip has rounded up some of the biggest scandals to rock reality TV. Seriously, these are huge — and yet not all are that surprising. Know what we mean? Just think of the kind of person it takes to actually go on reality television, right? Scroll down to read through each one… 1. Chrisley Most Definitely Does NOT Know Best Todd and Julie Chrisley, the stars of USA Network’s wildly successful reality series, Chrisley Knows Best were indicted on 12 counts of tax evasion and financial fraud in August 2019. They face up to 30 years in prison. Wowza, right? There are even rumors that their reality show is about to be canceled. It’s not like they can take the cameras into prisons, you guys. 2. TLC Swings the Axe on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo Viewers were already disgusted with the antics from the Thompson-Shannon family, but things reached another level when news spread like wildfire that June Shannon was dating her daughter’s former molester. In a word? YUCK. 3.

The Inspiration To Create ‘Hair Love’ Came From The Lack Of Representation Of Black Father & Daughters

More here:

Source: Sony Pictures Animation / Sony Pictures Animation When the visuals for Matthew A. Cherry’s Hair Love came across our computer screen, we rejoiced at imagery that showed a Black father and daughter in such a positive light. It was the representation we rarely see, even if it is a cartoon. MUST READ:  Animated Short Film ‘Hair Love’ Celebrates Black Father & Daughter Relationships Hair Love , an animated short film about a father who takes on the battle of doing his daughter’s hair, will premiere ahead of The Angry Birds 2 movie in theaters this weekend, broadcasting the image in front of millions of children and families. We caught up with director Matthew A. Cherry and producer Peter Ramsey, who both opened up about creating the animated short and why it is important for all to see. HelloBeautiful: What inspired you to create Hair Love? Matthew:  I was seeing a lot of viral videos of African-American dads doing their daughter’s hair hitting the timeline and I always like to share family friendly stuff like that. They were going extra viral, 100K retweets, and I would always share videos of moms interacting with their kids too and it would do OK but never as big as that. Obviously they were cute videos but I would come to learn later that part of it was that people weren’t used to seeing these images of African-American fathers doing these type of interactions with their kids (especially when the hair would be moving and breaking rubber bands and hitting dad in the eye). The idea of hair having a mind of its own was the linchpin that created this idea. HB: How does it feel to finally have your work being shown on such a massive platform after so much work to get it made and funded? Matthew:  It’s kind of surreal. This literally started with an idea through Kickstarter and for it to be a New York Times best selling book and now about to be in theaters across the country is pretty crazy. It’s definitely surreal. I just really hope that it inspires other creators. Sometimes i think we waste so much time reaching out to people thinking that they have to help us with our ideas and help move them forward and sometimes all you have to do is put it out there and take that risk and bet on yourself and trust that you can raise the money yourself and get the idea to other likeminded creatives that will be able to help you with it and bring it to market. HB: How was it for you to be involved in the short film and taking on the role as Executive Producer? How was that process for you?  Peter: It was great because from minute one, I believed in Matthew. I knew he was a really talented, energetic, inspiring guy in his work and in his life. I got to see the story he wanted to tell and it felt like it was right for the time, its got its heart in the right place, it’s going to really speak to people, all of those things made it really easy for me. Really I’ve just been a cheerleader. I’ve just been doing whatever I could, whether it’s advice or encouragement or whatever little thing I could offer to help move it down the line. It’s Matthew and a fantastic team of really talented people working on it that have really brought it to life. Matthew:  Yeah, Bruce Smith, Everett Downing, Stacey Newton, Monica Young, Karen Toliver. It’s a great team. Peter : It’s been a whole lot of work and whole lot of love What did you learn about fatherhood in the process?  Peter:  I have three kids. I’ve experienced a lot of moments like this. I think from this film specifically, the thing that jumps out at me is a lot of it is about people supporting each other in family. You can see everybody in this family in some way shape or form has supported each other. It’s about the idea of a father listening to his daughter and her communicating something that’s really important to her and him understanding why it’s so important and doing what he can to help her express who she is and what she feels. I think that’s a huge part of what drives this movie and makes it feel special. It might not be something you think about watching it but that’s what’s under the surface. That part of a parent/child relationship I think is something people need to pay a lot of attention to and think about that because even the smallest kid is still a real person deserving respect and being allowed to express themselves.

Ashley Martson Shares Rare Photo of Kids, Signals She’s SO Over Jay

Ashley Martson has clearly done a lot of soul-searching, self-care, and healing since Jay cheated on her with six side hoes . The repeated humiliations were a lot to endure, but now she’s focusing on what matters: her family. In fact, Ashley has even shared an ultra-rare photo of her kids as she spends quality time with them. Take a look: Over the weekend, Ashley Martson shared a photo of herself with her two children. Hands clasped together, they walked along the Ocean City Boardwalk. “It doesn’t get any better than this,” Ashley captions the image. Her tags include: “#fam, #momlife, #beach.” As always, Ashley’s children are not facing the camera as part of her efforts to shield them from her 90 Day Fiance fame. One follower asked why they couldn’t see her children’s faces. “I don’t post their faces. I wouldn’t ever,” Ashley replied. “I want them to stay private. That’s why you don’t see much of them.” “Where is Jay?” asked another — someone either woefully out of the loop or simply trolling. Ashley fired back with the perfect reply: “I’m sorry, who?” “You are a emotional strong, beautiful woman,” praiseda  fan. “Don’t let a piece of crap run you down.” “Thank you!” Ashley gushed. “He got me for a little but mommas back and better than ever.” “You are such a beautiful and strong parental figure, I hope you all had an amazing time together,” praised another follower. “Your health and kiddos are first,” affirmed a fan. “You don’t need the added stress of a player in your life.” “Keep doing you boss lady, single moms get all the scrutiny and have to be tough as nails,” characterized another. That same comment continued: “I am a huge fan! You are a great mom and beautiful person.” “I wish you the best… I wanted you to be happy with Jay,” expressed a follower. The comment continued: “I am sorry you got so hurt. Better you didn’t waste more years on him. God bless….take care of yourself and your family,” “Youre goodlooking and smart Ashley,” praised another fan. “You need to meet a man!” They suggest: “Someone with education and a good job and is stable!!! No more little boys! You need to be wined and dined no more kiddy s–t!” Counterpoint: Jay is a 21-year-old adult and women are allowed to be cougars and still expect fidelity. “Your health and kiddos are first,” emphasizes another follower. “You don’t need the added stress of a player in your life,” the comment affirms. “My wife has Lupus and Stress causes a lot of flare ups for her too.” “I was annoyed with on the show when you called the police to have jay deported,” admited a follower. They clarified: “Not because you wanted him deported – but because it was a petty waste of police’s time.” “That being said,” the comment concluded. “I do actually thing you are one of the smartest girls on the show.” “You don’t take anyone’s shit and lay down like a doormat when someone pisses you off,” instructed a fan. The comment added: “I hope you are free of the show now and can do and say what you want!” Now that Jay Smith is out on bail and living it up with his girlfriend, Ashley hopes that he’ll be more respectful of this and future women. That said, she doesn’t want anyone livin in denial about Jay’s immediate future. She doesn’t yet know the date, but she fully expects that Jay will still be deported to Jamaica. It seems that it’s only a matter of time. That said, 90 Day Fiance fans have been bandying theories about how Jay might scheme to stay in America — with the help of his girlfriend.

Meri Brown Makes a Plea: I’m a Good Person, Okay?!?

Meri Brown is here to explain herself. She’s here to sort of defend herself. She’s here to help followers gain a better understand of just who she is as a person. The only question remaining is this: WHY?!? On Sunday evening, the seemingly unhappy Sister Wives star shared a meme on her Instagram Story that featured a hand holding a heart. It also featured the following words: At the end of the day, I’m a good woman. I’m not perfect by any means but my intentions are good, my heart is pure and I love hard with everything I’ve got and because of those things … I’m worth it. Always have been and always will be. The mysterious post comes just a few days after the entire Sister Wives universe appeared to blow up . As previously reported, Meri looks to be moving away from the family in Arizona, while even Robyn Brown has allegedly put her house on the market and may also be leaving Kody Brown in the dust. This latter decision comes as a major surprise to long-time fans of this reality show because Robyn has always been billed as Kody’s favorite better half. Meri, conversely, has clearly been dissatisfied with her situation for almost as long as we can remember. She and Kody divorced years ago so that he could legally marry Robyn, but they’ve remain spiritually together ever since. Still, this hasn’t prevented Meri from trying to date; nor has it prevented Kody from acknowledging that serious issues exist between himself and this particular wife. Earlier this year, during a Sister Wives reunion special, Kody and Meri sat side-by-side and opened up about the challenges they’ve been facing as a rather unsual couple. “We have a commitment to a marriage,” Kody said on this TLC special, adding of himself and Meri: “We’re moving forward. We’re steadily working on a direction that’s fully mended.” Was Meri really on the same page, however? A few months after this special aired, Meri appeared to hurl a large amount of shade at her fellow Sister Wives, writing on social media: I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them. In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness. The veteran reality star simply left it at that, however, as she clearly excels at remaining cryptic and hard to decipher online. Take what she wrote on On August 6, for instance, when Brown shared a graphic about being a Capricorn that said: “Most Capricorns can admit they’ve been called every name in the book simply because they ‘appeared’ mean or bossy. “No, they just have a strong personality that is less tolerant of the crap people tend to dish out.” Well… okay then, right?!? For her part, Meri hasn’t talked in too much detail about her and Kody’s many obstacles over the years, simply admitting they exist back during this reunion special. “It was not moving in a positive direction for a really long time prior to the realization,” Meri said of the relationship at the time, adding: “From that point, he and I and everybody had to figure out what we really wanted and move forward from there.” View Slideshow: Kody Brown: In the Market for a 5th Wife?!?

Kathryn Dennis’ Late Mother Honored by Boyfriend Hunter Price

Recently, Southern Charm fans were given the awful news that Kathryn Dennis’s mother passed away . She was only 59 years old. Tributes and comforting words are pouring in from friends, castmates, and fans. Most touching of all is the tender message left by Kathryn’s musician boyfriend, Hunter Price. Last Wednesday, Allison Calhoun Dennis passed away after a battle with ovarian cancer. Allison, and through her Kathryn, was a descendant of the United States’ seventh Vice President, John C. Calhoun. 59 is a profoundly young age at which to die. Kathryn is of course grieving, as is the rest of her family. They have requested privacy as they cope with this terrible loss. On Instagram, Kathryn paid tribute to her late mother with a single word: “Family.” Kathryn’s boyfriend, Country singer Hunter Price, penned a beautiful comment as a tribute to Kathryn’s late mother. “You’re the strongest, and most beautiful woman that I’ve ever been so lucky to love,” Hunter gushed to Kathryn. “Your mom will always be with you no matter what;” he affirmed. Hunter concluded: “just as I know she’s always been.” That is sweet and touching without dragging on — perfectly appropriate for a public message on social media. Hunter was not the only one close to Kathryn who reached out over Instagram. Danni Baird is one of Kathryn’s besties, and she of course commented. “Love you to pieces, Kat,” Danni expressed. “Your mom is so proud of u.” The strikingly beautiful Naomie Olindo also weighed in. “Sending you allllllll the love in the world,” Naomie wrote. “KD I am so so sorry for your loss.” Allison played a major role in Kathryn’s life, even in recent years. Not only was she her mother, but she acted as an additional caregiver for Kathryn’s children, Kensie and Saint. This has proven vital during Kathryn’s heated, bitter custody dispute with her disgraced ex, Thomas Ravenel. In retrospect, it’s a wonderful thing that she was able to do that for Kathryn. It means precious memories for Kensie and Saint. Those important moments are now priceless. Kathryn Dennis is only 28 years old. In fact, she just had her birthday last week — the day before her mother’s heartbreaking passing. That is a distressingly young age at which to lose a parent. Even if Kathryn were not going through a tumultuous time in her life right now, her mother’s passing would be hitting her hard. It is a relief to know that she has so many friends and loved ones to support her as she tries to cope. Based upon the comments from Hunter and others, it sounds like she’s in good hands. At the risk of getting a little personal, here: f–k cancer. Celebrities can seem out-of-touch at times. Certainly, Kathryn’s spending has at times made her seem to occupy a separate existence from the rest of us. But cancer afflicts the mega-famous, reality stars, and ordinary peasants. It destroys families no matter their income. (The only difference is how much medical debt the disease leaves in its wake, and whether someone can afford regular screenings) Kathryn should know that she’s not alone. Our thoughts are with her and her family as they grapple with this awful loss. View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!
