Do It For The ‘Gram: Sherri Shepherd Shows Off Her Slimmed-Down Shape After 30-Pound Weight Loss

Source: Jerod Harris / Getty Sherri Shepherd Shows Off 30-Pound Weight Loss Sherri Shepard took to Instagram to share her transformation testimony and show off her “before and after” photos following her 30-pound weight loss. View this post on Instagram I have never shared what my body looks like with no clothes on, but I wanted to share with you what I looked like 10 months ago and the progress I’ve made since April 2018. I went off #sugar #coldturkey in Mar 2018 and starred #keto appx June/July 2018. My weight last year I believe was 189 (too tired to look for the scale pics ) and now I go back and forth between 159-161lbs. My waistline was 47” and it is now 35” (Lord on my wishlist is 29” waist … 27” if you’re in a good mood ) just want to encourage you to take one step towards your health… then another… then another… small changes everyday (more water… more sleep… exercise… meditation… prayer… forgiveness… less sugar… less carbs…) yield big #results in one year. I am really putting my fat belly out there for ridicule but I am passionate about wanting YOU to feel better… find your purpose and get past fear. I want so much for you to experience #freedom … to get your #joy back… to feel #confidence that you can Conquer the world! If I can do it YOU can too! Love you #sherrishepherd #singlemom #teamhealthy #workinghard #committoyourself #grateful #cometoofartogiveupnow #isthatanab over 350 days no #sugar A post shared by Sherri (@sherrieshepherd) on Feb 22, 2019 at 7:02am PST It’s hard to quit sugar cold turkey like that, it’s in damn near everything you eat, but we’ll be damned if it didn’t make a huge difference. In speaking to Wendy Williams last July Sherri told the TV host her heart-breaking motivation to get right: ‘Sometimes you go through stuff and you want to just grab something sweet; ex-husbands, things like that,’ she explained. ‘And I was doing that and Jeffrey was in the backseat, Wendy, and I was eating something I wasn’t supposed to. ‘He said, “Mommy, if you die, who’s going to be my bodyguard?” … and literally I said, “Sherri, you’ve got to do something different.”‘ Damn…that’ll do it. Congrats to Sherri, looks like she’s walking the good walk.

Bacterial Boy: Fox News Host Confirms That He Hasn’t Washed His Hands In 10 Years

Source: Ute Grabowsky/ Contributor / Getty Potluck canceled… Fox News Host Says He Hasn’t Washed His Hands In 10 Years A Cheeto In Chief adjacent Fox News host is making headlines after he made a stomach-churning confession on television. Pete Hegseth was speaking to his “Fox & Friends” colleagues about eating day-old, unrefrigerated Pizza Hut (no big deal) and added a tidbit about his hygiene. According to Hegseth, he doesn’t think he’s washed his hands in 10 years because “germs are not a real thing.” Hide ya handshakes. “Really,” he said. “I don’t really wash my hands ever,” he said. “I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they’re not real.” Pete later said he was “clearly joking” and added that the media who reported on his horrible hygiene habits are “self-righteous” and “angry.” To paraphrase the President from an hour ago: The Media is so self righteous and ANGRY! Loosen up and have some fun. The Country is doing well (as is my health!) P.S. I also support drinking from garden hoses & riding bikes w/o a helmet. Cue outrage… https://t.co/BubsAwBtFx — Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) February 11, 2019 He’s incorrect.

Are you too, “germ-free” like this guy?

B. Smith’s Step-Daughter Drags “Fraudulent Friend” Whoopi Goldberg For Criticizing Dad’s Extramarital Swirl

Source: Sonia Moskowitz/ Heidi Gutman / Getty Whoopi Goldberg Pisses Off Dana Gasby Dan Gatsby ‘s daughter is NOT HERE for Whoopi Goldberg or anyone else criticizing her dad’s new relationship. The family fell under criticism recently when the story of her dad moving his girlfriend into the home where his wife battled Alzheimer’s spread . On a recent episode of The View , Whoopi was uncomfortable with it, calling B a friend. ““I didn’t want to see B look like that,” said Goldberg. “I didn’t need to see that.”   Dana Gasby , 32, tells PEOPLE in this week’s issue, her step-mom is a “physically strong toddler who speaks in gibberish,” who sometimes needs to be forced to shower and use the toilet. She wants Whoopi and others judging to HUSH with their judgment. “These fraudulent friends know nothing. I have not seen them here,” says Dana, who moved back home three years ago to care for Smith. “They don’t call my family. I see them talking on TV and how do you know what your supposed ‘friend’ would want?” Dana fully supports the relationship between her father and Alex, his girlfriend. She says she hears Goldberg’s criticism of the video showing Smith’s day-to-day reality and wonders: is it “because you’re getting older and not happy with your health or whatever and you decide it’s not ok? Guess what—this is what aging is.” Thoughts?

Michael Jackson: Child Abuse Documentary Amounts to "Public Lynching," Family Claims

Earlier this month, millions of viewers were stunned by the Lifetime docuseries Surviving R. Kelly — which focused on the decades of sexual assault allegations against the singer. Now, it seems Michael Jackson is receiving the same treatment, via a four-hour documentary that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival Friday night. The film, Leaving Neverland , focuses on the stories of two of Jackson’s accusers, Wade Robson and James Safechuck. As the doc has yet to secure a distributor and a wide release, it has thus only been seen by a select group of festival attendees. But if their reactions are any indication, Leaving Neverland may contain another scathing new information for the King of Pop to be forever stripped of his crown. “It only takes about two minutes into the four-hour documentary Leaving Neverland to realize that Michael Jackson’s legacy is never going to be the same again,” wrote Benjamin Lee in his review for The Guardian . “spoiler alert: Michael Jackson 100% sexually abused a lot of children,” tweeted IndieWire’s David Ehrlich. Shortly after the film’s release, Jackson’s estate issued a strongly-worded statement that was published in full on Rolling Stone ‘s website: According to Jackson’s reps, the film constitutes “the kind of tabloid character assassination Michael Jackson endured in life, and now in death.” The statement continues: “The film takes uncorroborated allegations that supposedly happened 20 years ago and treats them as fact.” Now, Jackson’s family is also hitting back with a statement that questions both the integrity and the intentions of the filmmakers. “The truth is on our side,” writes the family. “Go do your research about these opportunists. The facts don’t lie, people do.” The statement continues: “We are furious that the media, who without a shred of proof or single piece of physical evidence, chose to believe the word of two admitted liars over the word of hundreds of families and friends around the world who spent time with Michael, many at Neverland, and experienced his legendary kindness and global generosity. “We are proud of what Michael Jackson stands for. “People have always loved to go after Michael. “He was an easy target because he was unique. But Michael was subjected to a thorough investigation which included a surprise raid of Neverland and other properties as well as a jury trial where Michael was found to be COMPLETELY INNOCENT.  “Michael Jackson was and always will be 100% innocent of these false allegations.” The Jackson family’s statement can be read in its entirety here . Sexual assault allegations followed Jackson throughout his career, but none of the many accusers were able to help secure a conviction. The Jacksons have decried the film as a “public lynching” of a man who is no longer here to defend himself, while others feel that Leaving Neverland might finally provide a modicum of justice and peace of mind to the singer’s victims. Many are concerned about the effect the film might have on Jackson’s children, particularly his troubled daughter Paris, who reportedly refuses to watch the documentary. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Michael Jackson Accused of Grotesque Child Abuse in New Documentary

Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott: Locked In "Blowout Fight" Over Financial Mess!

Money can’t buy happiness. But, when it comes to Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott we might have an exception. On top of the couple losing all of their finances, their relationship is plummeting right along with it.  We learn from Radar that American Express Bank filed a ‘writ of execution order’ on January 4 asking the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office Department to take possession of $88,246.55 that Tori still owes. AmEx isn’t the only lender coming after the family, Spelling and McDermott are also being sued by City National Bank for allegedly failing to pay back a $400,000 loan. As a result, Radar reported that the troubling duo had a “blowout fight” in the wake of their financial mess. Spelling “screamed at Dean to get out of her life and not come back until he gets a job,” a source revealed. “She is sick and tired of their financial situations that they can’t climb out of.” The couples’ last big fight supposedly happened a week ago, just months after Radar shared “that the 45-year-old reality star kicked her hubby out of the house during the holidays. It’s easy to assume Spelling is dealing with some denial and shopping withdrawals, but meanwhile, her husband has resorted to extra measures to try and save their family financially. He is working in construction while also continuing to look for work as an actor. Tori, however, “thinks Dean is past his prime” and should be looking for other forms of work. But, cut him some slack! It’s not McDermott’s fault that Spelling grew up “rich beyond anyone’s wildest dreams” and never knew anything else.  Like, how to pay a bill.  But after racking up seven figures of credit card debt, we can only hope that the couple will learn how to manage whatever money they do make it out within the future. While McDermott continues to job hunt, Spelling is desperately trying to sell her reboot of Beverly Hills 90210  and Deadline says its already in the works. The reboot is supposedly featuring a number of original cast members alongside Spelling, including Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Green. We hope the show makes a prosperous comeback! Mainly so Dean can stop doing construction.  The opportunity may also give the parents another chance to try and set a good example for their five young children. You know, on how NOT to be absolutely terrible with money management one day.  Money may not solve all problems. But, in this case, it definitely does.

Alaskan Bush People Season 9 Premiere Date Revealed!

As we reported last fall, Alaskan Bush People was renewed for Season 9 . That ninth season now has a premiere date. And it’s sooner than you might think. Take a look: According to The Discovery Channel, no actual release date has been officially announced for Alaskan Bush People . But that doesn’t mean that a date hasn’t been set. They just haven’t chosen to reveal it yet. However, TV Insider has reported that the captivating reality series will begin airing again on Sunday, March 3. Three new episodes will begin airing at 8pm on that date, the report says. Take note that we’re reporting this at the end of January, right before the shortest month of the year.  If this report holds true, you’ll be seeing Alaskan Bush People within 32 days. The landscape that you see here in this landscape photo snapped by 16-year-old Rain Brown is not of Alaska, but of Washington. Handling the family’s transition from living in both Alaska and Beverly Hills to living in rural Washington was only part of last season’s struggle. The entire family adjusted to their new life, but most of everyone’s attention was on family matriarch Ami Brown. Ami had survived a lengthy cancer battle — one that was widely expected to claim her life in 2017. But Ami is still around — and continuing to be regularly screened for the cancer’s resurgence. And she was not the only member of the family whose personal ups and downs captured the attention of fans. In November, Matt Brown checked out of rehab after 30 days. This time, he is committed to remaining sober. He is reportedly making use of meetings, a sober coach, and the emotional support of his family. This was his second time in rehab, but the first was years ago. Matt explained that he relapsed during his mother’s cancer battle. Almost all substance abuse is some sort of coping mechanism. We are so glad that Matt is taking these steps to secure his health. Noah Brown will welcom a new Alaskan Bush baby with his wife, Rhain Aisha. Their due date is this spring. Noah was sometimes seen as the family “black sheep” by fans, but they were overjoyed to see him tie the knot. He and Rhain married after a not-too-lengthy engagement. Hey, when you know, you know. Rain shared this photo some time ago of herself third-wheeling with her brother, Gabe Brown, and his girlfriend. Raquell Rose and Rain are besties, so she’s of course happy that the two of them are so happy together. In October, it was reported that Gabe Brown may marry Raquell . Neither of them ever made an actual announcement. However, perhaps inspired by Noah’s nuptials (that’s just fan speculation, though), Gabe reportedly filed for a marriage license late last year. We do not yet know their current status, but we are of course very happy for them. And that brings us to Rain, who turned 16 years old last November. Though the youngest in the family (until Rhain gives birth), Rain is the family’s de facto spokesperson. Rain’s social media presence boasts nearly 100,000 Instagram followers. She has been open about discussing her emotional highs and lows. “Don’t let the clouds fool you,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself in the sunlight. “The sun’s always there” “Stay strong,” she tagged her post. “Stay happy.” Rain has been very open with fans and followers about her battle with depression. As recently as Wednesday morning, she took to Instagram to deliver an update. “Some days are so bad all you can do is lay in bed,” she confesses. “On those days,” Rain writes. “It helps to have an angel by your side.” “Love you mr PT bardum,” she praises her cat. “You’re my strength.” “It’s okay not to be okay,” she tagged the post. She is absolutely right. We cannot wait to catch up with the whole family on March 3! In the mean time, we look forward to seeing a trailer in the next few weeks.

Prayers Up: Fetty Wap And Alexis Skyy’s Daughter Recovering After Emergency Brain Surgery

Source: Prince Williams/WireImage / Getty Fetty Wap And Alexis Skyy’s Daughter Needed Brain Surgery Our prayers go out to Fetty Wap and Alexis Skky as well as their 1-year-old daughter Alaiya, who underwent emergency brain surgery this weekend according to TMZ reports. TMZ sources say Alexis noticed something was wrong with Alaiya during a flight from Atlanta to New York when she began excessively vomiting. Skyy took the baby to the hospital where she was whisked into emergency surgery to repair a malfunctioning implant in her brain that helps drain blood and fluids. You guys may recall Alaiya was born 3 months premature. She suffers from hydrocephalus, which causes bleeding and fluid in the brain. The surgery is said to have been successful and Alaiya is reportedly recovering with both Fetty and Alexis by her side. Our hearts go out to them. We’re so glad to hear the operation went well and hope that her health continues to improve.

Ashley Martson Announces Need for Surgery, Asks for Prayers

Ashley Martson is back with an update on her health status. Unfortunately, however, the 90 Day Fiance star does not have great news to share. “Happy Friday, Everyone! I will no longer be doing any new promos, endorsements, cameos, or any PR as of Feb 8,” she wrote late last week, explaining why as follows: “If I have already signed with you it will be done. If I have not, I will not be available until mid March for anything. “I will be undergoing surgery and will be down at least a month.” This message comes two weeks after Martson was found unresponsive inside her home. She was thankfully discovered before it was too late and rushed to a local hospital, where doctors determined that kidney failure – as a result of her Lupus diagnosis – was to blame for the scary incident. “Please pray for myself and my family as I know it’s going to be a very tough road ahead for all of us,” she wrote at the time. And now Ashley has made a similar request. “Fans, all I ask for is prayers,” she added on Friday, continuing: “I will not be sharing much information about my health any longer, my willingness to overshare came with nothing but scrutiny and backlash. “I need to focus on my health, family, and recovery for that month. I appreciate all who support me very much #90dayfiance #tlc #healthcomesfirst.” It’s true that many social media users had the nerve to give Ashley grief after she initially shared a photo of herself in a hospital bed. People can really suck, huh? The 32-year-old also spent Christmas in the hospital after a flare-up of Lupus-related symptoms. She’s had a very difficult past few months, on multiple personal fronts. As 90 Day Fiance viewers are aware of, husband Jay Smith admitted to cheating on Martson mere days after the two became husband and wife. He apologized and was reportedly by Ashley’s side after her collapse a couple weeks ago, but the relationship is understandably tenuous. In fact, Martson filed for divorce from her spouse of eight months on January 11. However, she then withdrew the paperwork after less than two weeks, a court clerk from Cumberland County, Pennsylvania confirmed on January 24 to Us Weekly and other outlets. For what reason? We can’t say. But we aren’t about to judge Ashley during this rough time. We’re simply going to wish the reality star the best on her road to recovery.

Jay Smith: Ashley and I Are Back Together and Banging!

This week was a whirlwind of news for 90 Day Fiance couple Ashley Martson and Jay Smith. First, Ashley filed for divorce from Jay earlier this month, only to change her mind this week and withdraw the filing. Now, Jay shared a steamy video to social media to show that they're very much still together. Early Friday morning, Jay Smith shared an Instagram video with his followers. In the video, he is lipsyncing to “Senseless (Remix)” by Stefflon Don & Tory Lanez. While the song is pleasant and Jay is a good-looking dude, that is not what immediately caught the attention of 90 Day Fiance fans. Jay's head rests very comfortably on a pair of fair legs. And, as he is sure to show in the video, the woman on whose legs he is resting is not wearing any pants. The woman's head and face are not shown during the video, but it's not really a mystery. Fans and followers alike did not waste much time guessing the leg-bearer who places her hand on Jay's chest. “100% this is Ashley,” writes a 90 Day Fiance fan blog. “It's friggin Ashley,” comments a fan. “She blocked me after I said I would never let him tattoo me because I've seen his work!!” That hilarious comment concludes: “If she didnt care she wouldn't of blocked me.” We cannot argue with that reasoning. Another “clue” is the caption that Jay included in his video. “If you don't like the road you're walking,” Jay writes. “Start paving another one.” He tags his caption: “newstart.” It sounds like he and Ashley are giving their relationship a soft reboot and trying things again. This time, hopefully, without anyone downloading any dating apps. Ashley has not actually confirmed that she and Jay are back together. In fact, when a fan asked her why she won't give a simple yes or no, her reply said it all. Ashley wrote “nothing I like more than …” followed by a photo of a check. That seems to imply that, as has been rumored, Ashley and Jay have filmed for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? Jay's video may crop out Ashley's face for contractual reasons more than anything else. Still, it's a nice video, and reassuring to the couple's fans. As viewers discovered to their horror on the Season 6 finale of 90 Day Fiance , Jay and Ashley had very ideas of what it means to be married. Ashley learned that Jay had downloaded a dating app — Tinder — within days of their wedding. She caught him video chatting with another woman three days after the nuptials. At the Tell All special, Jay shared that he was being totally transparent with Ashley. She herself shared that she felt torn, because monitoring his electronic behavior felt like being a babysitter, not a wife. At the same time, she did not simply want to ship him back to Jamaica. She felt responsible. Clearly, they've given things another shot, and we hope that it works out. Part of what helped the couple reconnect, it appears, was Ashley's battle with lupus that led to her emergency hospitalization with kidney failure. Jay flew to be by her side, gushing about his feelings for her in a now-deleted post. In the mean time, Ashley has shared that she is taking a step back from certain aspects of social media. “Fans, all I ask for is prayers,” she wrote on Friday morning. “I will not be sharing much information about my health any longer.” “My willingness to overshare came with nothing but scrutiny and backlash,” she lamented. “I need to focus on my health, family, and recovery for that month,” Ashley explained. She concluded: “I appreciate all who support me very much.” Good for her. She should take all of the time that she needs.
