Chris Harrison Reveals Why 2 Former Bachelorettes Were Missing From Reunion Special

Well, folks, another season of The Bachelorette is just around the corner. And if you’re anything like us, you can’t wait to see Hannah Brown find love among her 32 suitors. Of course, if you can’t wait until the finale, you can always just check out our Bachelorette spoilers and amaze your friends with your clairvoyant abilities. Hannah has the honor of anchoring a milestone season for the show. This is the series’ 15th go-round, and to celebrate, host Chris Harrison sat down with all of the former Bachelorettes. Well … almost all of the former Bachelorettes. When this photo appeared on Harrison’s official Instagram account, fans were quick to point a pair of surprising absences. Two of the OG three stars of the show — Meredith Phillips from season two and Jen Schefft from season three — were nowhere to be found. Fans — at least the ones who have been watching long enough to remember those two — immediately wanted to know what was going on. The pic was posted just days after we learned that two suitors were booted from Hannah’s season  prior to filming due to allegations of inappropriate behavior. So was there any such scandal surrounding Jen and Meredith’s absence? Well, if you’re hoping for something juicy, we’re afraid we have some bad news. The ladies were apparently absent due to a boring old scheduling conflict. “Unfortunately Jen and Meredith couldn’t be there because we had to settle on a date,” Harrison told E! News. “At the end of the day, we had to shoot this thing,” he added.  “So, we just picked a day where we could get as many as we possibly could, but unfortunately schedules, vacations, was one of them, just couldn’t be changed. “And we just had to pull the trigger and do this thing.” Of course, there might be more to the story than Harrison is letting on. Schefft is now a married mother of two who has made a point of avoiding the spotlight in recent years. Conversely, Phillips came forward last year and alleged that she was sexually assaulted by a masseuse during the filming of her season. She has not spoken publicly about whether or not that incident impacted her decision to avoid the reunion taping. In any event, Harrison says he’s pleased with the turnout: “I was grateful that we had as many as we did, which was 12 of the 14,” he tells E! “Obviously [new Bachelorette] Hannah [Brown] is not a part of it, she’s shooting the show.”  As for Jen and Meredith, Chris says they have not been forgotten: “Jen and Meredith are represented, they’re celebrated in this thing, we love them very much and they’re a part of our family and this sisterhood, but they just couldn’t join us,” he says.

‘LHHATLS8’ Recap: Karlie Redd Suffers A Heartbreaking Loss

See more here:

Source: Marcus Ingram / Getty Tonight’s episode of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta starts with The fellas kicking it plus one. It’s the usual, Joc, Scrappy, and Kirk, but then Karlie Redd’s fiance, MO is in the mix too. Joc and Mo are cool despite what could be awkward circumstances. They keep it grown. Kirk then mentions that he and Rasheeda want to plan another couples retreat. Mo says he and Karlie Redd might, but in the meantime, has to go to Arkansas to “take care of some business” and the rest of them tell him they hope it works out. This is definitely loaded…and sounds shady. We’ve been here tons of time on this show, but anyway, hold that thought because it’s going to come back around. Let’s fast forward a bit. Che Mack is at Pooh’s house explaining how silly she feels for taking Pooh’s advice and trying to “expose” Karlie Redd at her engagement party. It took losing her job as a dj to do some self-reflection. Later on, Che mack is now working as a bartender since she lost her dj gig. Shekinah and Tokyo Vanity meet up with Che before a shift as a bartender to see wtf she was thinking at Karlie’s party. The general consensus is, Che Mack needs to apologize. Speaking of Karlie Redd, she’s dealing with some real ish. The doctor confirms what he already suspected. She’s having a miscarriage, and he’s devastated. Meanwhile, Moniece and Tiarra have respective conversations about Scrapp Deleon cheating shenanigans. Scrapp seems to have broken things off with Moniece while telling Teirra that he’s willing to try for the sake of their family. Heard that one before. Back to Karlie and Mo. Karlie did some snooping while Mo was gone and found some conversations with a woman in Arkansas so she plans to confront Mo, who plans to tell her what’s up anyway so it’s not really a confrontation. Mo explains to Karlie Redd that he was in Arkansas trying to take care of a DNA test situation. Basically, a woman from his past explained that she has his baby. Mo said he didn’t know the woman was pregnant and she just popped up. He plans to get a DNA test and he plans to take care of his child if it’s his. Karlie is livid, especially because she has been with men who have had babies on her. Mo seems genuine, and you know how hard that is to come by o this show. So, Karlie tells him to gtfoh and that they are done. In fairness, Mo actually seems genuine and like he’s telling the truth. Karlie is being hasty and unwilling to hear him out. Maybe she’ll come back around. Erica Dixon is pregnant with twins and kept it a surprise until she felt like telling her girls. She has an announcement party with her girls and then Che Mack comes waltzing in. Karlie is there too. Che Mack apologizes to Karlie and they call a truce. Karlie even apologizes for having been rude to her. Finally, the episode winds down with Moniece confronting Scrapp about him being caught kissing Tommy as well as Tiarra having a problem with her on social media, and al his other drama with women yatta yatta. Now Scrapp is changing his tune. He said he was never exclusive with anyone (but probably lead them all to believe that) but now he’s preparing to be a family again with Tiarra. Moniece is over it (for now) and that’s that. We all know Scrapp is still lying though. He’ll get caught again soon enough. See you next week.

I can’t believe you people get as excited about Game of Thrones as you do…. I mean I can believe that YOU people get as excited as you do about Game of Thrones…because social awkwardness, Autism, being an adult virgin comes with some level of appreciation for comic books, Sci/Fi, and Fantasy shit…if there’s wizards and dragons in the shit, you’re there…and if there’s tits in the shit…you’re even happier to be there… I am talking about the rest of society who don’t even know this site exists as we are in the underbelly of the internet where no one even knows we exist…but I still see people, moms, middle aged women, normal suburban idiots freaking out about the premiere, or about last nights episode…from all walks of life people are hooked. I am convinced it is one of those situations where people feel compelled to be a part of something, and they have no opinion of their own, so that if they were to stand up and say they don’t like it, they’d be putting themselves in a vulnerable position they can’t be in, so it’s easier to tell themselves and their friends that they like it to fit in, cuz they actually don’t even know what they actually like or don’t like… That’s how pop music is made, and I guess pop TV shows like Game of Thrones…who I am sure don’t care about me being the one person who hates anything remotely like that shit… Which is pretty hurtful, those Game of Thrones people should be nicer. Here’s on of their tits…not that exciting…but it’s your favorite show so it must be. JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES!

Earth Angels: ‘BREAKTHROUGH’ Star Chrissy Metz Talks Playing A Woman Who Prayed Life Into Son Who Miraculously Survived Near Drowning!!! [VIDEO]

Source: ENT / Splash News Chrissy Metz Talks To BOSSIP About Joyce Smith Role Last month we were moved to tears while watching an early screening of ‘Breakthrough’ — a new film in theaters today, which was produced by DeVon Franklin and Stephen Curry and stars “This Is Us” actress Chrissy Metz. Metz plays Joyce Smith, a Missouri woman whose adopted son and two of his friends fell through ice while playing. Two of the boys were quickly rescued, but Joyce’s son John remained under water for some 15 minutes before being rescued. Paramedics couldn’t find a pulse for Smith for a full hour before his mother was called to the hospital to say her final goodbyes. What happens next is truly miraculous — and this is a film based on a TRUE STORY! The film also stars Josh Lucas as Joyce’s husband Brian, Topher Grace as the family’s pastor Jason Noble, Mike Colbert as the paramedic who ultimately rescued John from the lake and Dennis Haysbert and Sam Trammell who played roles as the two doctors who were vital to Smith’s survival. Check out our interviews with Chrissy Metz, DeVon Franklin, ‘Breakthrough’ director Roxann Dawson and the real life John Smith, when you continue. We had a great time chatting with Chrissy Metz about her first feature film role and her love of all kinds of music. We also love that she showed love to female rappers Missy Elliott and Queen Latifah!

Monica Brown Stay Down: “Friends & Family Hustle” Producers Are Pissed Singer Won’t Say Isht About Divorce Drama On Show

Source: Judy Eddy / WENN Monica Not Sharing Any Marital Messiness With Vh1 Producers If you’re expecting Monica to share any messiness about her marriage coming to an end on “T.I. & Tiny’s Friends & Family Hustle” you may be in for some disappointment. Sources close to production on “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle” tell TMZ … Monica won’t even utter Shannon Brown’s name on the show and refuses to talk about her marriage ending in front of the cameras. TMZ says their sources say her decision to keep her divorce details low has frustrated the folks in production who have been begging her to open up about her marriage in hopes of help with crafting an interesting storyline for her. We previously posted the trailer for the show, which makes it seem like Monica is open to discussion (largely because of the clip in the studio where Monica mentions never imagining being a 38-year-old single mother) but producers say that’s about all she was open to say. We’re not in the least bit surprised. Mo has always lived by a certain code and she’s not about to switch up now for reality tv. Does her decision disappoint you or do you think she’s doing the right thing? Oh and while we’re talking Monica … The singer went heavy with social media promotions Sunday and Monday, sharing photos from the video shoot of her new single “Commitment”.

In the trailer, she says she never imagined being a single mother in her 30s — but that’s all you’re gonna get outta her. Monica and Shannon Brown were married for eight years. — Photo: Getty
