Tristan Thompson: Hell Yeah, I’m Gonna Win Back Khloe!!

Apparently, Tristan Thompson just cannot take a hint, and leaving thirsty comments on Khloe’s photos is just the tip of the iceberg. Khloe is so done with him after he cheated on her with, it seems, every hot woman in sight even after his first cheating scandal. A new report says that Tristan is working behind the scenes to worm his way back into Khloe’s heart — and her bed. In Touch Weekly reports that Khloe Kardashian isn’t out of the woods when it comes to not being in a relationship with a rampant cheater. “Tristan hasn’t given up on Khloe,” an insider warns about the reality star’s athletic baby daddy. “And,” the source adds, Tristan “s always playing mind games with her.” Oh, dear. That’s not good — because if his games work, Khloe could end up accepting him back before she even realizes it. Some cheaters are aggressive manipulators and know just which buttons to push.  “She is too easy on him,” the insider opines. Certainly, that was the case in 2018 when she took him back within days of the scandal breaking. “And,” the source laments, Khloe believes that she “can’t be cold to him.” Khloe is under this impression “because she always wants to keep a happy home for True.” “That’s why she can never completely cut him off,” the insider explains. Tristan may be barkign up Khloe’s tree, but her entire family is united in wanting to shoo him away. “Tristan knows that the family doesn’t want them back together,” the source reveals. “So,” the insider explains. “He is trying to weasel his way back.” Oh, of course he is. See, Tristan knows that if he gets Khloe to accept him again, she’ll make her family do the same. That’s what went down in 2018. Khloe revealed that he’s been pulling this kind of thing for a while. On Keeping Up With The Kardashians , she shared an incident in which Tristan tried to act as if they were still dating. “He’s like, ‘Do you want to grab a glass of wine?’” Khloe recalled. “I’m like, ‘It must say dumb f–king whore on my forehead,’” Wow, I can’t believe that Khloe and I have the same tattoo! “And then he’s like, ‘Can I have a hug?’” she adds. “So, I one-arm hugged him, but that’s not enough.” Well, it will simply have to be. “He tried to kiss me,” Khloe revealed. “I’m like, ‘That’s the problem with you. You can’t just take what you get.’” she expressed. Apparently, he still didn’t get the message, as he texted her the next morning. “‘Thank you for letting me see True. She looked great, and you looked even better,’” Khloe quoted the text. That first sentence would have sufficed. Don’t turn talk about your daughter into being horny for your baby mama. The thing about people like Tristan — famous, wealthy, hot men — is that their behavior doesn’t make sense. He has to decide: does he want a fellow celebrity to be his wife and the mother of his child? Or does he want a harem, or to be allowed to roam free and bang whomever he chooses, possibly with a wife at home who doesn’t mind? Because plenty of women woudl be fine with a simple majority share of Tristan’s dong instead of sole ownership. But Khloe isn’t one of them. If Tristan is unhappy, it’s entirely his own doing.

Amy Roloff Shares New Engagement Details, Photos from the Big Night

By now, if you’re at all a fan of Little People, Big World, you must be aware of the good news: Amy Roloff is engaged!!!! The beloved reality star confirmed this amazing development just a few days ago, sitting with brand new fiance Chris Marek and saying the following to People Magazine… “I’m excited, I’m so surprised, I’m thrilled! “I never in a million years thought I’d be getting married again, but I also hoped for it! Now that it’s happening, I couldn’t be happier or more excited.” We couldn’t help but snicker a little over this claim of surprise, considering ALL the rumors of an engagement that had been floating around Amy and Chris for months. And also considering how often the topic was broached with Roloff herself. Amy, meanwhile, has since posted a photo of her gorgeous ring — and has now updated her Instagram page with a few more details from the big night itself. “A lot has happened to me this past week and a half (more later)but I wanted to share again A beautiful event that happened in my life,” wrote Amy as a caption to the photos above and below, adding: “I never had a clue or expected it. “Chris and I celebrated our 3rd year anniversary of dating last Wednesday. And to my wonderful happy surprise he proposed and asked me to marry him!” Oh wow. We knew the proposal took place right after Amy’s birthday. But not that it also coincided with the couple’s anniversary. How special and perfect! Roloff went on to include quite a few heart and ring emjois in her caption, concluding as follows: I couldn’t believe it it! I cried, he had tears and of course I said YES!. I’m engaged and couldn’t be happier. I love this man so much. Of course, A day later i had to celebrate the news w/ two of my closest friends – Lisa and Debi. I’m blessed. I’m happy. I’m so looking forward to continuing our life journey together. The TLC personality also hinted that the wedding would take place next year sometime, using the hashtag #2021 toward the end of her message. This does make a lot of sense: Amy and her family will have plenty to deal with over the next several months: Zach and Tori Roloff are expecting a baby around Thanksgiving, while Audrey and Jeremy are then expecting one just over a month later. How exciting for everyone involved! We haven’t yet seen any of Amy’s children comment publicly on her engagement, but ex-husband Matt actually sent along his congratulations , which was awfully nice of him. We, of course, would like to do the same now: Congrats to Amy and Chris! We wish you a lifetime of happiness! View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed!

Paula Deen Jokes, Laughs Over Death of Chef Carl Ruiz

Most of us haven't heard much from Paula Deen since she whined about being eliminated from  Dancing With The Stars . That's just fine. This is a woman who might drop an n-bomb at any moment. But even when she isn't using hateful slurs, she can be vicious — like when she mocked the  sudden death of Chef Carl Ruiz .. Paula Deen was in Billings, Montana to appear on radio station Hot 101.9. Speaking on The Big J Show , the disgraced former cooking show host was promoting her new cookbook. But Paula Deen Cuts The Fat wasn't the only topic of discussion. The host mentioned the passing of the late Chef Carl Ruiz, who was only 44 years old and had run in some fairly famous circles. Was Paula familiar with him? “No, I’m not,” Paula revealed when asked. “But I’m so sorry to hear that.” That is a tactful and respectful response. We only wish that she had left it at that. “You know,” Paula for some reason chose to remark. “They say the restaurant business will kill ya.” She followed up that very poor joke by cackling. Paula then stated: “No pun intended.” That's not a pun — it's just insensitive. On Saturday, September 21, Carl Ruiz passed away in his sleep. As devastating as that was to fans, it also came as a tremendous shock. He was, after all, only 44 years old. Investigators suspect a heart attack as the cause of death. Countless fans are in mourning over the beloved chef. Carl Ruiz was well known in part because of his appearances on several of Guy Fieri's shows. Guy himself posted a mournful tribute to his fallen friend on Twitter. “I’m heartbroken,” he began. “That my friend chef Carl Ruiz is gone.” “I have no words to describe what a great friend he was to me and my family,” Guy expressed. He gushed: “His ability to make me laugh and smile under any circumstances was only outshined by his talent as a chef.” Guy Fieri's heartfelt message continued. “Over the years,” he wrote. “I’ve met a lot of great people” “But,” Guy noted. “A friend like Carl is one in a hundred million.” “Carl ‘The Cuban’ Ruiz will forever live on in my heart,” he concluded. “And in those of all who loved him.” It's important to remember that Guy Fieri has always been a good guy who uses his fame and talents to help people in need. In contrast, Paula Deen was fired from television in 2013 after a scandal resulting from her repeated use of the worst racial slur in existence. She was later sued by her own employees for using the n-word and also for allegedly having seperate bathrooms according to race. Having black people use one restroom and white people use another isn't just a shameful relic of a bygone era — it's very illegal. She went from being a woman beloved for deep-frying cheesecake to a woman reviled and abhored. Is her distasteful joke about Carl Ruiz the worst thing that she's ever said? Clearly not. But she should have known better — for all of these things. It's not entirely clear why anyone would be willing to have her own to promote her book. Talk radio must be desperate these days.

Steve Kazee: Who is Jenna Dewan’s Brand New Baby Daddy?!?

Jenna Dewan announced a very exciting piece of news this week: She and boyfriend Steve Kazee are expecting a baby! It’s unexpected, but it’s true! “We are beyond overjoyed and couldn’t be happier to be expanding our family!” the couple told People Magazine on Tuesday morning, keeping the announcement short, yet awfully sweet. The 38-year old former World of Dance host welcomed her first child, Everly, in May 2013 with her estranged husband, Channing Tatum. Those attractive stars stunned the universe about a year and a half ago upon announcing their marriage was over. “We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple,” Tatum and Dewan said at the time, adding in their joint statement: “We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together. “Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now. “There are no secrets nor salacious events at the root of our decision – just two best-friends realizing it’s time to take some space and help each other live the most joyous, fulfilled lives as possible” Dewan and Kazee then started dating early in the fall of 2018, but they’ve kept their romance largely under the radar, prompting many to ask the following question about learning the actress is expecting: Who the heck is Steve Kazee?!? For starters, he actually won the 2012 Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical for Once . Among other biographical tidbits? Steve Kazee was born and raised in Ashland, Kentucky. He is an alumnus of Fairview High School and Morehead State University. He moved to New York City in 2002 and received his MFA from the Graduate Acting Program at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. He’s also one of the busy, successful, veteran actors whose face you may very well recognize, even if you can’t remember his name. He has enjoyed roles on such programs as Numb3rs… NCIS… CSI: Crime Scene Investigation… Elementary… Drop Dead Diva… and Shameless. “She’s very happy,” a People source says of Dewan in reference to her romance with Kazee and, we presume, her pregnancy. In February, Kazee shared a tribute to her on Valentine’s Day with a photo of Dewan looking at the camera from a bed. This is what he wrote at the time: “Somehow, inexplicably, I’ve been granted the honor to have this be the person that I get to be side by side with throughout this wild journey we call life. “Jenna I don’t know what I did to deserve your love but I will always be so thankful that our lives found their way to each other. Here’s looking at you, kid.” How sweet, right? Sounds like prime father material to us!

Keeping Up With The Lies: Kim Kardashian Is Trying To Prove She And Khloe Don’t Steal Men; Zero Humans Believe Her

Source: Bravo / Getty Kim Kardashian Defends Khloe The Kardashians are all about preserving their image, no matter how tarnished it may be in some people’s eyes. For years, the wrap on the family, namely Kim and Khloe, has been that they have a long history of stealing men from relationships. Kim has been accused of meddling in Kanye and Amber Rose’s relationship. Khloe was accused of stealing French Montana from Trina as well as Tristan Thompson from Jordan Craig. On this week’s edition of Keeping Up With The Kardashians , Kim said she was breaking the “narrative” that this was the case. So what does she do? She calls up French Montana to set things straight. On the phone, French says that he was never with Trina when he was with Khloe. Word? Kim also says she has “receipts” that will prove her innocence in the Amber situation. Interesting. Of course, this is a classic case of “we don’t believe you, you need more people” as the internet is in total disbelief of the claims. Take a look… Kim really called French Montana on #KUWTK to verify that he wasn’t with Trina when he got with Khloe as if men aren’t serial liars. Yawn — tosin (@notrafiat) September 23, 2019 “Kim really called French Montana on #KUWTK to verify that he wasn’t with Trina when he got with Khloe as if men aren’t serial liars.

Kim Kardashian & Kendall Jenner: Um, No One Told Us Our Emmys Speech Was A Joke!

If you watched the Emmys last night or heard about it, at least, then you’re up-to-date on Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s completely awkward and uncomfortable award presentation.  And how the entire audience started laughing at them , quite ruthlessly.  Well, we now have their side of the story, and it’s only furthering the awkwardness, people. Brace yourselves.  While the sisters were there to give out the award for Best Reality TV Show Competition, they ran into a little hiccup… but in their defense, it may not have been  entirely  their fault.  When Kim read “Our family knows firsthand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves,” to the audience at the Microsoft Theatre, she didn’t quite catch the humor behind her words. smh…  The audience assumed that Kim was making a joke (lol, a really good joke)  so, they proceeded to laugh, however, unaware and pissed-off looking Kim put herself in the position of getting laughed at , instead of  with .    Things only worsened when Kendall made the same mistake as big sis Kim and tried to claim that their show is “unfiltered and unscripted.” But according to Us Weekly , a source shared that Kardashian, 38, and Jenner, 23, “were not briefed” about their teleprompter bits being “a joke.” The insider added that “it was definitely a bit awkward.” Emmys LOL: Watch Kim and Kendall Get Laughed at on Stage! Ok, If you were sitting there watching it like me, you know it was more than just a “bit” awkward.  And that the moment called for at least 3 or 4 rewinds. But basically, the girls just missed the memo and didn’t realize that those lines were supposed to be read as jokes. We don’t know if it’s more embarrassing that they didn’t pick up on their own joke, or that they actually may have believed what they were reading?  Either way, you gotta admit that this family never fails to entertain , am I right? Apparently, Kim and Kendall weren’t too worried about their unsuccessful moment, and they didn’t take it personally. They “were good sports about it,” another source told Us . “The line was supposed to be funny. They weren’t bothered by people laughing.” Besides, the sister duo arrived in style and their stunning looks are what stole the night anyway.  The KKW Beauty owner wore a skintight black velvet gown by Vivienne Westwood, which she accessorized with some chunky necklaces, including a cross necklace. Meanwhile, the Victoria’s Secret model killed it in a pink floral Richard Quinn gown, which she paired with a latex Vex turtleneck.  Kylie Jenner was also set to walk the red carpet and present the award beside her sisters that night, but luckily however, she was too sick to make it.  “She has been sick for days,” a source told the outlet, so Kylie decided to skip out on the event.  After the incident, many fans took to social media to defend the E! TV stars. One fan made a pretty good point, tweeting, #Emmys @KimKardashian @KendallJenner The fact that they will turn your laughs into millions of cash is funnier.” “You look so stunning Kim and Kendall. Highest paid model and highest paid reality star.” Hm… Mic drop?  View Slideshow: Kendall Jenner Dubbed “Fashion Icon of the Decade,” Twitter Loses Its Mind

Leah Remini: I Blame Scientology For My Dad’s Secret Death

Actress Leah Remini shared a heartbreaking post to her Instagram on Sunday, revealing that she had “no idea” her father, George Anthony Remini, had passed away a month ago.  According to Remini, she and her family knew nothing about his illness leading up to his death, saying, “A funeral came and went and none of us knew anything about it.” The thought of this is devastating, but Leah is using this opportunity to let people know that the Church of Scientology is completely to blame for this tragic outcome . The King of Queens star dreamed of the day she would get to restore her relationship with her father, but thanks to the most controversial religious movements of our time , that opportunity never came. “On Friday, I received a message from my sister Nicole, who had been contacted by a stranger passing on his condolences for the passing of our father,” Remini wrote, alongside throwback photos with her father. “We had no idea that he died a month ago.” Unfortunately, Leah is dealing with the emotions of what could’ve been and wishes he sought forgiveness before his passing. “He was not able to redeem himself, to ask for forgiveness for his failures and hurts, to become a better man to those of us who couldn’t help but love him,” Remini continued. “If you read my book, you’ll know my father and I had a difficult relationship, but I always forgave him with a daughter’s painfully endless love and hope.” Although Remini didn’t agree or support her father’s beliefs, she “hoped he would one day acknowledge what he did to his children,” she said. “That alone would have been healing in its own way. We never got that, yet I can’t help but grieve. I am angry at myself for crying for someone who didn’t ever cry for me.” “I am angry that I still wanted this man’s love,” she added. “I’m angry that the last chapter in our relationship was dictated by Scientology.” Because of Leah’s successful A&E series Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath , the Church often released videos featuring George Remini, who claimed his daughter did not care about her own family and that she refused to help pay for his cancer treatments. Leah easily blames their later estrangement on the church, saying, “Scientology took my dad in as a pawn against me and likely robbed him of any last ounce of heart that might have been left in him.” “I’m angry that Scientology found his personal weak spots and got him on board not with their beliefs but with their smear campaign against me.” “That was his last presence in my life,” she wrote. And while Remini and her sisters will never be able to forgive Scientology , they would’ve open-heartedly forgiven their father…If he just would have tried. “I would have forgiven him as I always did,” she added. “The little girls inside of my sisters and me will never forgive scientology for taking our last chance to have the one thing we always wanted from our father… And that was for him to say ‘I’m sorry and I loved you.'” Remini’s relationship with her father was so broken that on Father’s Day, in 2018, her message praised her husband for being the “daddy [she] wish [she] had.”  Leah, 49, was a member of the church for 35 years before finally removing herself publicly in 2013. Since leaving, she has been one of the most outspoken critics of the organization by writing books and creating her popular docuseries.  The Scientology community long tried to discredit Remini’s Emmy-winning series and even tried to stop it from airing.  However, the show ended on Remini’s terms, with the two-hour finale airing in August. For Leah’s sake, we’re glad that door has closed. Hopefully, she can put that evil energy behind her and move forward with a positive, happy, and healthy lifestyle. We wish the best for her and her family members who are grieving at this time. View Slideshow: 17 Celebrity Scientologists

Teresa Giudice Pretends to Care That Husband Will Soon Be Deported

Teresa Giudice may be a Real Housewife of New Jersey, but the question remains: Is she really , actually broken up over the pending deportation of her law-breaking husband, Joe? We have quite a few reasons to think this will be a cause for Teresa’s to celebrate, not commiserate. This question is once again relevant because Joe received some bad news last Friday: After two weeks of deliberation, an immigration judge denied the reality star’s request to be removed from the custody of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Joe hadbeen hoping to at least return home and be with his family while he waits to hear if his latest deportation appeal has been granted or not. The former Bravo personality was ordered to be deported to his native Italy in October of 2018 and was transferred into ICE custody in March after completing a 41-month prison sentence for fraud. Despite having lived in the United States since he was a child, Joe never became an American citizen and he admitted to committing a felony, hence why his deportation is very likely to take place . Love the guy or really, really, REALLY hate him for being such an entitled wanker, this development is at least very sad because Joe and Teresa share four daughters: Gia, 18, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10. The probability remains strong that their dad will soon be living in another country. Teresa, however? She doesn’t appear all that broken up about being single once again. “Joe’s family believes that Teresa is going to file for divorce no matter what ,” a source close to the situation recently told Radar Online, stating that Teresa is simply done with the marriage and adding: “Teresa is going to file for divorce from Joe regardless of what the outcome is. Joe’s family knows this. “Everyone knows this. She has tasted her freedom and she isn’t going to return to him.” In an update to this relationship, Radar now also reports that Teresa has stopped wearing her wedding ring. She was in court this past Friday to learn the outcome of Joe’s latest hearing, heading out afterward for a fan event in Maryland… without said wedding ring on her finger. Speaking to Us Weekly, Teresa told the tabloid that she isn’t in a “good place” at the moment, adding: “It’s a sad time with my husband and everything so we’re going to try and work it out as best we can. The most important thing is our four daughters, so I’m hoping Joe is able to stay in the United States.” Teresa acknowledges that she and Joe “are going through a really difficult time right now,” ending her brief interview on a hopeful note: “I had all these businesses and everything went crashing down. “But, look, I picked myself right back up, and if anybody else is going through hard times, don’t worry about it. You will get through it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. I do believe that. “You’ve got to be positive!” View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

Aaron Carter: Nick Carter RAPED a 91-Year-Old Woman!

From a distance, it’s difficult to discern what exactly is going on in the current feud between brothers and former pop stars Nick and Aaron Carter. But one thing we can say with absolute certainty is that the whole situation is incredibly sad and troubling. The trouble started last week when the elder Carter revealed that he had filed for a restraining order against his troubled brother, alleging that  Aaron threatened to kill Nick’s pregnant wife . “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today,” Nick tweeted. He added the hashtags “#mentalhealth #GunControlNow and #GunControl,” seemingly in response to Aaron’s allegedly massive collection of assault rifles. “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confessions that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family,” Nick later wrote. Aaron responded with a bizarre social media tirade, during which he claimed that he had been repeatedly raped by his late sister Leslie Carter while he was still a child. Now, he’s leveling similarly shocking allegations against Nick. In a now-deleted Instagram post, Aaron accuses Nick of violently raping an elderly woman. “Hey [FBI] my brother raped Mildred and told me in confidence in his pick up truck she was 91 years old and my brother told me he covered her mouth so no one could hear her scream,” he wrote. “Put me on a polygraph machine please [FBI] my mother knows she was taking care of two elderly women who were on hospice Mildred and opal who my mother was keeping alive,” the 31-year-old continued. “[FBI] what are you gonna do about that!? NOTHING! ? “I’m REPORTING A RAPE FROM NICK ON SN ELDERLY WOMEN WHO WAS DYING AND WAS 91 that he raped. Strap nick up to a polygraph machine and a really good one please.” No word yet on whether or not there’s been any sort of law enforcement response to Aaron’s allegations. But needless to say, these are very tense times in the Carter family, particularly if Aaron is as unhinged as insiders claim. “Nick has beefed up security. There is definite concern for Lauren [Nick’s pregnant wife] and this situation has been very stressful for her,” a source close to the situation tells Us Weekly. “She’s very close to her due date but because of what happened previously with her pregnancies and the stress, they just want the baby to get here safely and there is concern that because of the stress she will go into early labor.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Carl Ruiz, Former Food Network Star, Dead at 44

Awful news today out of the world of reality television and cooking: Carl Ruiz, a well-known chef who appeared on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and more of Guy Fieri’s programs, has died in his sleep. He was 44 years old. The tragic news was confirmed on Sunday by social media personality Matt Farah, who was close to Ruiz and who announced that his friend passed away on Saturday night from a heart attack. “I’m heartbroken that my friend chef Carl Ruiz is gone,” Fieri tweeted after the news went public. He added: “I have no words to describe what a great friend he was to me and my family. His ability to make me laugh and smile under any circumstances was only outshined by his talent as a chef. “Over the years, I’ve met a lot of great people but a friend like Carl is one in a hundred million. Carl ’The Cuban’ Ruiz will forever live on in my heart and in those of all who loved him.” Ruiz’s family restaurant — Marie’s Italian Specialties in Chatham Township, New Jersey — was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives twice over the past few years. Carl was later hired to appear on Fieri’s shows Guy’s Grocery Games and Guy’s Ranch Kitchen. The two chefs became very close as a result. In June, Ruiz opened the restaurant La Cubana in New York City, from whose Instagram account there was posted a tribute earlier today. “On behalf of the La Cubana family, with heavy hearts, we are deeply saddened to share the passing of our beloved Executive Chef Carl Ruiz,” the post read. It continued as follows: “No words can fully express our sadness at the sudden loss of our dear friend and brother. “Beyond his immense culinary talent, Carl’s larger-than-life personality never failed to entertain, enlighten, and uplift every person he encountered along his #Ruizing adventures. His fierce intellect and infectious humor knew no bounds. “He was a mighty force of down home Cuban cuisine, and lived life to the fullest, just as he cooked—with ‘dancing always’ as the most important ingredient.” This is how that in memoriam message concluded: Here at La Cubana, Carl paid proud tribute to his Cuban roots each night, and it is here that Carl’s legacy, undeniable spirit and passion for his culture will live on. We hope we make you proud, Carlito. To honor the work you loved so much Chef, La Cubana will continue your work in establishing The Carl Ruiz Scholarship Foundation for aspiring chefs. We love you! You are already missed. Rest easy. And here is how Guys Grocery Games and Guy’s Ranch Kitchen star Eric Greenspan saluted his late pal: “RIP Carl Ruiz,” Eric Greenspan wrote on Instagram, adding: “You hear it a lot, but never could it be more true. The world is significantly worse without you. Heaven doesnt know what just hit it.” Fellow Food Network star Alex Guarnaschelli tweeted: “This man was somehow fatherly, comforting, wise, reckless, brilliant, wickedly funny & unique all in 1. My life will be lonelier without him. Love you Carl. “I’ll make sure no one puts pineapple on pizza best I can without you here. #rip @carlruiz.” “Remember how Carl would sometimes say, ‘That’s it I’m leaving Twitter forever’? Then he would be back on 2 hours later with an update: a hotdog from somewhere special & a cackle of glee?” she added. “Carl was a great cook & shared every moment of his life with us & I already miss it. #rip” May he rest in peace.
