He also gave a shoutout to the rest of his family, Future Zahir and the baby currently growing in Ciara’s belly. Bye Future Hive!!!!!!! What do YOU think about Russell’s “winning” message???

Circus Owners Announce Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus To Close In May After 146 years, “The Greatest Show on Earth” will come to a close this May. The owners of The owner of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus told The Associated Press the decision to close was due to a number of factors, including dwindling attendance, operating costs and ongoing issues with animal rights groups. “There isn’t any one thing,” said Kenneth Feld, chairman and CEO of Feld Entertainment. “This has been a very difficult decision for me and for the entire family.” The company broke the news to circus employees Saturday night after shows in Orlando and Miami. Ringling Bros. has two touring circuses this season and will perform 30 shows between now and May. Major stops include Atlanta, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston and Brooklyn. The final shows will be in Providence, Rhode Island, on May 7 and in Uniondale, New York, at the Nassau County Coliseum on May 21. The circus, with its exotic animals, flashy costumes and death-defying acrobats, has been a staple of entertainment in the United States since the mid-1800s. Phineas Taylor Barnum made a traveling spectacle of animals and human oddities popular, while the five Ringling brothers performed juggling acts and skits from their home base in Wisconsin. Eventually, they merged and the modern circus was born. The sprawling troupes traveled around America by train, wowing audiences with the sheer scale of entertainment and exotic animals. “The competitor in many ways is time,” said Feld, adding that transporting the show by rail and other circus quirks — such as providing a traveling school for performers’ children— are throwbacks to another era. “It’s a different model that we can’t see how it works in today’s world to justify and maintain an affordable ticket price. So you’ve got all these things working against it.” Hard times for real… This is sad for so many reasons, but the silver lining is that the animals can look forward to retirement. “After 36 years of PETA protests, which have awoken the world to the plight of animals in captivity, PETA heralds the end of what has been the saddest show on earth for wild animals, and asks all other animal circuses to follow suit, as this is a sign of changing times,” Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, wrote in a statement. Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, acknowledged the move was “bittersweet” for the Felds but said: “I applaud their decision to move away from an institution grounded on inherently inhumane wild animal acts.” The Felds say their existing animals — lions, tigers, camels, donkeys, alpacas, kangaroos and llamas — will go to suitable homes. Juliette Feld says the company will continue operating the Center for Elephant Conservation. We are so sad for the clowns but also happy for the elephants. How do you feel about this news? Will you and the family be making a final visit to the circus before May? Instagram
Doesn’t it seem like years and years since Amber Heard filed for divorce from Johnny Depp, citing Johnny’s alleged violent tendencies as the reason she couldn’t stay married to him? It hasn’t been years, of course — it’s just been about seven months — but the messiness really drags things out, doesn’t it? In late May of last year, just a few days after Johnny’s mother passed away, Amber left him . At the time, it was a little confusing, because who would be so low to file for divorce during a time that’s so heartbreaking anyway? But then, just a few days after she filed, Amber went back to court to request a restraining order against Johnny because, according to her testimony, he’d been physically abusive. The next couple of months were particularly nasty, with photos and text message exchanges and videos leaked to support Amber’s claims , and with almost no one believing them. Apparently it was very hard for people to believe that Johnny Depp, very famous actor and attractive human being, was capable of such violence. In August, they finally settled things : Amber withdrew her request for a permanent restraining order as well as the domestic violence charges, and Johnny agreed to pay her $7 million. So it was all over then, right? No more drama, no more legal issues, everything was good. … Not so fast, y’all! The drama continued for a good while longer: reports began surfacing that the divorce left Amber so broke that she was homeless , and though Amber said she was donating her entire settlement to charity, when Johnny donated the money directly, things got ugly. And, as it turns out, the divorce wasn’t even finalized. During all this time, Johnny and Amber remained legally married. But, as of last night, that changed, And today, those two finally woke up single for the first time in years. However, things weren’t quite that simple. They never are with these two. Amber wanted to delay the finalization so that her legal team could take a deposition from Johnny, but the judge said no, hush, this is over. Johnny wanted Amber to pay $100,000 for dragging things out, but the judge said no, hush, this is over. And finally, Amber asked that Johnny be forced to pay her legal fees, but — you guessed it — the judge said no, hush, this is over. Both of them had to pay for their own legal fees. To celebrate the finalization of the divorce, they also went ahead and officially divided up their assets yesterday. Amber got the dogs, Pistol and Boo, a horse named Arrow, and two cars, a classic Mustang and a new Range Rover. Johnny got to keep all the real estate, and there were also 42 more vehicles between them, so he got to keep all those, too. So far, he’s paid $200,000 of the $7 million settlement. He’s been ordered to pay Amber another million in the next few days and another in February. He’ll give her one more million dollar batch in May, then 1.5 million in August, before finishing things up big with a 2.3 million dollar payment next February. Johnny’s lawyer released a statement on his behalf, saying that “We are all pleased to put this unpleasant chapter in Mr. Depp and his family’s lives behind them.” “Having his request for entry of dissolution judgment granted today made it a particularly lucky Friday the 13th.” And Amber’s lawyer got extra dramatic, stating “It’s a great day. All Amber wanted was a divorce and now she has it. In the words of Gerald Ford, ‘Our long national nightmare is over.'” We’re not sure if that quote really fits the situation, but congrats to both Amber and Johnny on finally closing this ugly, ugly chapter.

Finally. The Browns can celebrate some exciting news. As has been well documented over the past several weeks, all is not exactly calm and cool between loved ones on Sister Wives. There has been talk that Kody Brown is either splitting from wife Robyn or wife Meri or even that all four Sister Wives are ready to just up and leave the father of their children. Ugly rumors have been running rampant, but Maddie Brown and Caleb Brush are here with a bit of exciting news for those who follow this TLC series: They’re having a baby! Sorry, you probably knew that already. Let’s try this again: they’re having a baby BOY! The couple learned the sex of their impending child during a gender reveal party on Monday and then shared the answer with Us Weekly. “We are both super excited for our little boy,” Maddie and Caleb have told the tabloid. “Although we had a good hunch that it was a boy, it’s nice to finally know, so we can start preparing!” According to Us Weekly, the reality stars hosted about 30 close friends and loved ones at Christine Brown’s residence in Las Vegas this week. The attendees then played a game in which they cut out mustaches or hair bows from paper and actually donned the accessories themselves. They were also given blue and pink balloons, but only the blue ones could inflate. Maddie – the daughter of Kody and his second wife, Janelle – is 21 years old. She made her pregnancy announcement on November 21, sharing an Instagram photo at the time of her husband kissing her baby bump, writing as a caption; “So happy to announce our little addition!” The two were married in a beautiful, intimate outdoor ceremony back in June in Montana. Last month, Maddie posted an image of the expecting parents at Yellowstone National Park. “Six months being married to you has been more than a fairy tale come true. You truly are my best friend and soul mate! I look forward to the years to come!” she wrote as a caption. AWWW, right? It’s been a turbulent time for the Browns of late. As those who watch Sister Wives online know very well, Maddie’s half-sister, Mariah, stunned her family by coming out of the closet a couple episodes ago. She stood in front of her dad and other relatives and announced she is gay. And while Kody was surprised at the news initially, expressing a few reservations and asking a few questions, he did eventually come around. “A surprise to me. Required some deep thought,” Kody Tweeted of the reveal on Sunday night, adding over the course of a couple more messages: “After checking to see if she was sure, I just needed her to know she was safe… “God has prepared my heart and mind for 15 years. Now @mariahlian can feel safe being openly gay with our family.” That’s pretty impressive for a Mormon to write. We’re not judging the religion, we’re just noting that many people who practice is are not accepting of the gay lifestyle, based on how they were raised. But that’s another story. For now, let us just say…. congratulations to Maddie and Caleb!
