Kenya Moore: Returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 12!

We already reported that NeNe Leakes’ tantrums have forced some casting shakeups out of Bravo. But we can just about guarantee that she won’t like every change that producers have made. Kenya Moore is returning to The Real Housewives of Atlanta for Season 12! Kenya Moore is back! It’s a huge surprise, since we had already reported that Kenya was involved in some filming issues on set. (And by “filming issues,” we mean that NeNe was refusing to film with her , of course) But now, multiple source have confirmed to Us Weekly that Kenya is returning for Season 12. She has her peach back! “Kenya may be a friend,” the insider notes. “But,” the source reminds fans. “It always depends on how filming goes.” The insider adds that it depends upon what is caught on film “and chemistry with the cast.” Kenya spent years having enough chemistry for Full Housewife status, so we don’t imagine that it would be difficult to do again. The source predicts: “Kenya could always be upgraded to full Housewife.” Even if we hadn’t already heard reports that Kenya was filming for the show in some capacity, this wouldn’t really be much of a shocker. Remember, she only appeared in one episode of Season 11. That simple cameo was enough to cause a lasting, painful rift between NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey. If Kenya can be the catalyst for that much drama in a simple guest appearance, imagine how much she could cause on a whole season. Soon, we won’t have to imagine. Kenya first joined the cast for Season 5 back in 2012. (Doesn’t it seem like that was just a few years ago?) Kenya remained on the show as a Full Housewife for six seasons But then, in the summer of 2017, things for Kenya changed very abruptly. She became more guarded with information about her personal life — a decision practically antithetical to her job. Kenya held a secret wedding to Marc Daly, sending fans and producers into a furor. The whole point of following a reality star like Kenya is to capture not just the squabbles and feuds, but the big life milestones. She waited weeks before she even revealed Marc’s name. The story was that Marc didn’t like The Real Housewives of Atlanta because he believes that the show portrays black men in a negative light. To date, he has made one brief appearance. Kenya explained that she had elected to step back during Season 11. “I have decided to take this season off to focus on my high-risk pregnancy in a healthy and drama-free environment,” Kenya told Us Weekly . She continued: “I thank Bravo for this amazing platform that has allowed me to grow, flourish, and appreciate the value of what is truly important in life.” Fans are excited to see Kenya’s return. And NeNe’s animosity only makes viewers more eager to see the feuds to come. Kenya may not even have to do all that much work to find herself at the epicenter of drama. It sounds like NeNe is doing the heavy lifting — at least, when she’s willing to actually film with her castmates. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 12 Salaries: REVEALED!

Lamar Odom Comeback Ends: "Embarrassed" Baller Booted From Big3 League

For a while there, it looked as though former NBA star Lamar Odom was on the verge of a comeback. Sure, he might never make it back to the bigs again, but Odom’s new memoir earned him sympathy from fans who may have previously written him off as a hard-partying hedonist who set fire to both his career and his marriage by indulging his love of prostitutes and hard drugs. Perhaps even more importantly, Odom returned to the sport he loves, having earned a spot in the Big3 summer league founded by Ice Cube. Unfortunately, Lamar’s time on the court didn’t last very long. TMZ is reporting today that Odom has been cut from the roster of the Big3 team bafflingly known as the Enemies. Former NBA stars Baron “Boom” Davis, Bonzi Wells, and Jermaine O’Neal were also deactivated for the remainder of the season, but it was Odom’s name that attracted the attention of the gossip world. And many feared the worst. After all, Odom’s talent for squandering golden opportunities might be matched only by Hillary Clinton, and many feared that he had messed up yet another second chance by returning to the bad behavior that ruined his marriage to Khloe Kardashian. But if there’s a bright side to this situation, it’s that Odom seems to have been cut loose as a result of his performance on the court, not wild nights that might land him in front of a judge. The league issued a statement today clarifying that 39-year-old Odom and his cut companions simply no longer have what it takes to compete at a professional level? “As the premier professional 3-on-3 league in the world, we are always striving to improve the quality of both the live and broadcast experience for our fans as well as the level of competition,” read the statement. In other words, no one wants to see Lamar Odom and Boom Davis chasing each other around unless one wants the other to get off his lawn. Insiders say Odom is “embarrassed” by the league’s decision, but has come to accept it. Lamar barely played for the Enemies, posting just 2 points and 4 rebounds so far this season. And his latest public confessions probably weren’t great for the fledgling Big3 from a PR perspective. Among the revelations contained in Lamar’s book were the facts that he slept with over 1,000 women (with many of those conquests occurring while he was married, and that he once threatened to kill Khloe Kardashian while high out of his mind on a potent cocktail of drugs. And you probably thought no one could make Tristan Thompson look like a good partner! Of course, Tristan would probably humiliate Lamar one-on-one, but that’s a conversation for another time!

Cameron Boyce Honored by Father With Photo Taken Hours Before His Death

Over the weekend, beloved Disney star Cameron Boyce passed away , shocking his countless fans and paining his loved ones. He was only 20 years old. Now, his father is sharing a photo taken just hours before Cameron was taken from the world. Taking to Instagram for his first post since the sudden and tragic death of his son, Victor Boyce shared this photo. “My son,” he writes. “Just hours before he was snatched from our lives.” “I miss him terribly,” Victor affirms. He continues: “I hope that no one ever has to feel the agony I’m feeling.” “But,” Victor is all too aware. “No one is immune to tragedy.” For days, now, Cameron Boyce’s legions of fans have been sending messages of grief and emotional support. “The outpouring of love and support our family continues to receive is so beautiful and appreciated,” Victor expresses. You never know when your kind comment or sympathetic gesture could mean the world to a total stranger. Whether it’s for a woman sobbing in a grocery store or a man grieving on social media, your words can have a powerful impact. Victor’s caption concludes: “Thank you all for helping us through our worst possible situation.” Cameron Boyce was a Disney star, noted for his role on the series Jessie. More recently, he starred as Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil, on the beloved made-for-TV movie franchise, The Descendants . As his family shared after his sudden passing, Cameron had been diagnosed years ago with epilepsy. It was a catastrophic seizure that claimed his life as he slept. This is so heartbreaking — for his fans, his friends, and especially for his family. Cameron’s charm and famed saw his memory honored by beloved First Lady Michelle Obama. “I was lucky enough to share a few moments with Cameron Boyce,” Michelle reminded her followers. She noted that she had rubbed elbows with him “on set, at the White House, and on a service project.” Michelle was around him for “enough time to recognize that not only did he have incredible talent, but also an incredible heart.” “Sending out a lot of love and hugs to his family, friends, and his many, many fans,” Michelle concluded. In 2014, when Cameron starred on Jessie , Michelle Obama made a very special guest appearance. It was during this time that she made the rounds on a select number of popular tween dramas. The goal was to acknowledge the special sacrifices made by military families. Cameron then appeared alongside some of his castmates at the White House’s Easter celebration. Michelle and Cameron also worked alongside each other on a Toys for Tots drive. Victor had previously expressed his gratitude for the outpouring of kind words from fans. On Sunday, he took to Twitter to acknowledge Cameron’s many mourners. “I’m overwhelmed with the love and support our family has received,” Victor’s tweet began. “It really does help to ease the pain,” he admitted. “Of this nightmare I can’t wake up from.” Victor’s heartfelt tweet concluded: “I can’t thank you guys enough.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Jessa Duggar BLASTED By Mom-Shamers: Stop Depriving Your Kids!

The Duggars hold many, many controversial views. In fact, there are times when it seems that all the family does is make babies and create mini-scandals by sharing their ultra-conservative beliefs with their increasingly befuddled fan base. Some of these beliefs align with evangelical views found elsewhere in the American South and Midwest, such as the view that women should cover themselves up at all times , lest they inspire impure thoughts in the helpless men who cross their paths. (For those of you who haven’t already raced down to the comments to tear us a new one, we were being sarcastic, and that’s a completely bonkers belief for anyone to hold.) But some of the more ridiculous views can only be found in Duggar Land — and many of them have to do with child-rearing. The women of the Duggar clan are subjected to near-constant mom-shaming, but no one gets the full brunt of the internet’s wrath quite like Jessa Duggar. Jessa has been accused of endangering her son’s life for failing to provide “proper” protection from the sun. She’s taken flak for her kids’ potty-training, home-schooling, attire, and probably for the way that they breathe in and out. The situation has gotten so bad that the mother of three has apparently given up, and we now see Jessa baiting mom-shamers for fun . Sadly, that tactic doesn’t seem to have sent the trolls scurrying back under the bridges from whence they came. Jessa welcomed her first daughter in May, and as expected, the mom-shaming has been cranked up to 11. Jessa posted the above photo of little Ivy earlier this week, and at this point, it’s like playing a Where’s Waldo game — see if you can spot the cause of outrage! Give up? Well, this is was kind of a trick question, as there are two distinct factions here who are pissed at two different things. On the one side, we have people who are angry that Ivy doesn’t spend more time with a pacifier in her mouth: “I pretty much only give her a pacifier for car rides, so she’s not super good at taking it— but every time it goes in her mouth, she puts both little fists up on her cheeks like this” Jessa captioned the pic. “It’s actually good for babies to have pacifiers that young,” one “fan” responded , according to In Touch . “It’s a SIDS preventative.” “I was told the same [thing] by multiple doctors and nurses,” another remarked. In the other camp, we have the haters who believe Jessa is doing her kid a great disservice in the wardrobe department: “She’s cute but probably REALLY HOT with that huge thing in her head,” one person wrote. “Why do you not use pink on her? I think she looks pretty [anyway] but never see her with anything pink” another remarked. Apparently, this “Ivy doesn’t wear enough pink” thing is a commonly-held viewpoint. “I’m dying to see sweet Ivy in PINK!!!” another fan commented. Yes, there’s a whole contingent of fans out there who are dying to see some Pink Ivy, which is … strange. We’re accustomed to a LOT of weirdness from Duggar obsessives. But they might have just taken their insanity to weird new heights. View Slideshow: Ivy Jane Seewald: See ALL Her Precious Photos!

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Reunion Trailer Teases Tears and Fights

Fans and viewers of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills have already watched Camille Grammer go off on the entire cast . It turns out that that was just the beginning, because part one of the Season 9 Reunion airs on July 16. In this new trailer, Bravo teases fans with the wealth of drama, tears, fights, and allegations to come. “The reunion is going great!” an excited Andy Cohen tells Anderson Cooper at the start of this explosive trailer. “It's major.” Viewers then see Kyle Richards speaking emotionally, saying: “I paid the ultimate price by being honest.” Then her voice breaks and she apologizes: “Sorry, I can't talk right now.” “There's major things happening,” Andy teases to an intrigued Anderson. Andy adds: “There's trouble afoot in Beverly Hills.” Without context, we then see the beautiful Lisa Rinna demand of someone: “You have to shut the f–k up” “We've all said things privately about each other,” Kyle says in a rant. She may be ranting at Lisa, but we cannot confirm that. Editing, folks. “I would never out you!” Kyle promises. “If I did right now, it would be a very bad situation.” Okay, so it's both a promise and a threat. We then hear Erika Jayne instruct: “Denise, stop it. That is not true.” “Lisa Vanderpump is not here,” Andy says. This earns an intrigued “ooooooh” from Anderson, who remains an eternal delight. Anderson asks: “Has she not been there at all for this reunion?” Andy replies with a very cryptic facial expression. “I want to know how she found the lie detector,” Denise expresses. Kyle then explains: “She did a test run, first.” Lisa responds with obvious astonishment. Meanwhile, Erika replies with a look of bewilderment. “The f–k, man?” she asks. “You know who is here?” Andy teases. “Camille.” We then see Camille recall: “She told me to tell my daughter she was a f–king liar!” “What?” an astonished Kylie asks, whipping her head around. “We're breaking a lot of news today in Beverly Hills,” Andy notes. Anderson keeps playing his part perfectly, saying: “Oooh.” This is when the trailer takes a turn for the more salacious. “When he used to go to Vegas as a very young man,” Erika teases. “They'd send up a couple of 'back scratchers.'” In another scene, we see Andy ask: “So … how big is it?” Everyone seems to be in good humor as Kylie removes one of her heels and says “compared to this shoe!” When Denise says: “It's actually bigger than your shoe,” everyone seems to lose it. “I pride myself on being an honest person,” Teddi says as things take a turn for the serious. “But you were lying,” Andy says. Andy then asks someone, possibly Kyle: “Why do you think that Erika doesn't want to be around you?” No one is more surprised at this than Erika, who replies: “What?” Possibly unrelated, the only Lisa present in the room says: “Honey, it's coming. Bring it on!” “That's nasty,” a very furious Camille accuses. “You don't come to my wedding and then treat me so disrespectfully after!” she yells. Kylie accuses: “That's such a f–king low blow.” We then see Erika assert: “It's just kind of rude.” This is when Denise tells someone: “You're talking out of your ass.” Kyle insists: “My husband did not scam anyone, and I don't appreciate that.” “It's hypocrisy at its finest right now,” Camille says. Kyle retorts: “No, Camille.” “Camille,” Denise pleads. “Calm down, for f–k's sake.” “Denise, shut up,” Camille says dismissively. This prompts Lisa to demand: “Don't tell her to shut up!” Denise then asks: “Is she on something?”

Piers Morgan BLASTS Meghan Markle in New Attack: Go Back to America!!

It will sadly not be any surprise to learn that the same awful dude who thinks that Meghan Markle is ruining Prince Harry is back at it. This time, notorious twonk Piers Morgan is putting the Duchess on blast for requesting privacy during an event. As he rails against her, he begins to demand that she “go back to America,” and even his poor cohost is scandalized. Meghan Markle attended a Wimbledon tennis match. Contrary to speculation, she was not seated in the royal box, but was invited as a friend of the player — Serena Williams. According to a report from the match, at least one person in the stands was asked to not photograph the Duchess. “Would you not take photographs of the Duchess?” a royal protection officer allegedly requested. The royal protection officer then explained: “She's here in a private capacity.” That sounds fair and reasonable, which is of course why Piers Morgan was outraged. Piers Morgan, who is actually paid money to voice his horrible thoughts, went on an unhinged rant on  Good Morning Britain . “You're public people, all of you!” Piers can be heard ranting in the video that we have included. “In that moment,” he continues. “You're public people.” “Stop your squealing about privacy!” Piers demands. “We don't want to hear it.” “If you want to be private, go back to America and live privately,” he instructs. “it’s pretty straightforward.” Susanna Reid, whose unenviable lot in life is to exist in physical proximity to Piers Morgan, did not like what she was hearing. “They don’t have to go back to America by the way,” she counters. “She does,” Piers insists. “She’s American!” “They don’t have to go back,” Susanna emphasizes, arguing: “She’s married an Englishman!” “She doesn’t want to be a British public figure in the royal family,” Piers says. “Go back to America.” As always, Piers wasn't interested in walking back his awful claims. He reitorated his attack on the only adult British royal family member of color in a later tweet. “It’s absurd for Ms Markle to demand privacy as she sits in the royal box on a publicly-funded jolly with her mates,” Piers asserted. Again, she was not seated in the royal box — that was debunked. She was literally just seated in the audience at Serena Williams' invitation. That's it. We mentioned before that Piers is leveling these attacks very conspicuously against the only adult black member of the family. This is not out of a desire to “pile on” attacks on Piers — honestly, every time that he opens his mouth, he gives critics nothing but ammunition. We mention it because his “go back to America” cries sound awfully familiar. There are those in both the UK and America who have suggested that black people who are unhappy in either nation should “go back to Africa.” That's a vile thing to say regardless, but especially cruel to people whose ancestors were abducted and brought over to be sold. Why is Piers ranting about Meghan Markle allegedly asking for a modicum of privacy while privately attending an event? Mostly because it's his job to stir up pointless controversy, though he still thinks he's some sort of newscaster. It's the same reason that Meghan McCain's huffing and endless name-dropping of “my father” has been a boon to The View . Having someone like Piers around means that every time that he puts his foot in his mouth, Good Morning Britain is a hot topic. But even Piers could try to reel it in when it comes to Meghan, who has faced so much racist hate since her engagement to Harry was announced.

Jenelle Evans Celebrates Milestone with Newly-Reunited Son

For Jenelle Evans, what a difference a week make. Like, what a major difference a week makes. Just consider the following… On July 1, the disgraced ex-Teen Mom star was unsure what the future would bring, as she prepared to attend yet another custody hearing during which she and violent husband David Eason would plead their case. At that time, they had no idea whether their kids would ever be returned to their care. Fast forward seven days, however, and not only are two-year old Ensley and five-year old Kaiser once again living with their famous mother — but Jenelle is sharing photo of her and the latter child celebrating a milestone in the toddler’s life. “Super happy!” Evans Tweeted along with the above photo on Monday, adding: “Kaiser’s school is going to ‘re-do’ his Pre-K Graduation just for him with all his friends since he missed it. Can’t wait to see my Bubba walk… “You did it Bubba! I couldn’t be more proud of you. Now it’s time for the Big Boy School! Extremely grateful Kaiser’s school did their own ceremony for him, since he missed his. #Blessed #Bittersweet.” Addressing Kaiser himself on Instagram, while posting the same snapshot, Jenelle wrote: You’re so perfect . Evans and Eason, of course, lost custody of Kaiser and her sister (and 11-year old Maryssa, David’s daughter from a previous relationship) after Eason shot and killed their family dog. This act prompted a visit from Child Protective Service, who finally intervened and determined the kids were being raised in an unsafe environment. Off Kaiser went to live with his dad, Nathan Griffith, for several weeks; while Ensley was taken in by Jenelle’s mother, Barbara Evans. A North Carolina judge decreed on July 3 that there was insufficient evidence against Jenelle and David to keep their kids away, ordering the young ones to be sent back to Eason and Evans by 10 a.m. EST on July 4. Jenelle promptly shared a number of pictures fron the holiday weekend of her kids having fun in the water. Which is great, obviously. These kids deserve to have all the fun every day of the week. But is Evans celebrating prematurely? Is she really out of the parental woods? Griffith has made it very clear that he won’t stop fighting for custody of Kaiser . For now, though, Jenelle is acting and sounding as if the children are hers forever and ever … which, odds are, will be the case moving forward. “I am ecstatic to regain custody of my kids,” she said in a statement after the custody drama was brought to a conclusion last week, adding: “Throughout this long process and final decision, I am excited to be moving forward and continuing to show America I’m a good parent.” (NOTE: That’s not really a grammatical sentence, Jenelle.) Jenelle went on to say on her Instagram Story that their kids are “happy as can be” back at home — and also revealed her plans to regain custody of her nine-year-old son, Jace, who has lived with his grandma for most of his life. We’re really sorry about that, Jace. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Claims She Was THIS Close to Leaving David Eason

Mariah Carey Stuns Fans, Reveals Limited Number of Sexual Partners

Mariah Carey may or may not have been involved with a Satantic cult as a kid . But the iconic singer has now opened way up to Cosmopolitan and revealed the exact number of men with whom she has been involved. In a biblical sense. By which we mean the following: Carey has told the world just how many sexual partners she’d had in her life. And while there is no right or wrong answer to this question, of course, Mariah’s response is garnering national attention for two seasons: 1. How many celebrities have just come right out and revealed this information to the public?!? 2. For someone who looks like Mariah Carey and for someone as rich and famous as Mariah Carey… the answer is surprisingly low. “I haven’t had that many, but there has been a variety pack,” Carey said at the outset of her response to this question, prior to just spitting out the figure: “I’ve only been with five people in my life, so I’m kind of a prude, honestly, compared to most others in the field.” (Notice the not-so-subtle shade she hurled here at other pop stars? All bow down before this Queen Diva, folks. Seriously: Do it!) Carey is currently dating herf ormer backup dancer, Bryan Tanaka. So there’s one person, if we safely assume the two have engaged in sexual intercourse.  Carey as also married back in the 1990s to Sony Music mogul Tommy Mottola — and she has twins with ex-husband Nick Cannon, meaning they fornicated on at least one occasion. We’re as sure as a celebrity gossip website can be that Carey also dated Derek Jeter awhile ago as well, which leaves just one open spot spot in her bedroom boinking list. We’d say it’s none of our business to think about such a personal topic, but hey: Mariah is the one who brought it up! (UPDATE: Carey was also engaged to James Packer ! There you go! There’s the five!) Tanaka is much younger than Mariah — but Mottola was significantly older, which is likely what prompted the singer to remark on the “variety” of men that have seen her in her birthday suit while she either writhed around on top of them or spread her legs for them via the missionary position. “You might want to picture a child bride,” she told Cosmo of her first marriage, adding: “There was a conscious effort to keep me as this all-American, whatever that means, girl. It was very controlled. “There was no ­freedom for me as a human being. It was almost like being a prisoner.” Yikes . Elsewhere, along with sort of slut-shaming other artists in her industry, Carey detailed all the obstacles she had to overcome in order to make it huge. “They have no idea what I went through as a child to even get to be an 18-year-old girl with a record deal,” she explains. “This was before you could just go on YouTube and sing.” She continued: “A lot of artists say they write, but they don’t really write. No offense to anybody. That’s just what I’ve seen.”
