John Stamos and Caitlin McHugh: Married!

Since Full House premiered in 1987, everyone with two eyes and a television has wanted to marry John Stamos. Fortunately for the 54-year-old dreamboat but sadly for everyone who isn’t Caitlin McHugh, that’s John Stamos’ decision to make. Well, he made his choice, and got engaged to Caitlin McHugh in 2017. The couple is also expecting a child together, which makes them doubly blessed. Well, there’s even more good news about this beautiful couple, folks — they’re now, officially, married ! It’s not really a surprise that John Stamos promosed to Caitlin, his adorable and much younger girlfriend who is living the dreams of countless fans. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that John Stamos helped a fan pop the question because he’s an absolute prince. (In that case, it was really the man’s girlfriend who was a big Stamos fan — too big of a Stamos fan — and John Stamos bestowed his blessing upon their engagement) For his own proposal, Stamos used a little Disney magic to set the right atmosphere for Caitlin McHugh. He announced his success on Instagram. “I asked … she said yes! … And we lived happily ever after.” Now, admittedly, the “lived happily ever after” line might be a bit premature. Because, obviously, they haven’t gotten there yet. But the engagement was followed by some other wonderful news. John Stamos and Caitlin McHugh are having a baby ! The decision to have a kid came about really naturally and rationally — the two share the same morals and values, which is a good starting point for any relationship, but especially for prospective parents. They figured that they’d do well with a kid. And then it was Caitlin who liked the idea of going ahead and conceiving a child before the wedding. Why? Because, well, John Stamos is … old. And she said as much, because they have a healthy relationship. But good-natured ribbing aside, these two stunning human beings have tied the knot. Entertainment Tonight reports that John Stamos and Caitlin McHugh got married on Saturday. The venue was simple but beautiful, at Stamos’ home in Beverly Hills. At the wedding, the couple’s outfits were fairly traditional even though the location was not. Both the gorgeous groom and the beautiful bride posed for photos with friends and family members in the backyard. Though the newlyweds are clearly head-over-heels for each other and enjoyed a Superbowl party the next day (so it’s perhaps not your typical honeymoon), there was a bit of bad news. Caitlin McHugh’s room at the Beverly Hills Hotel was, unfortunately, burglarized. It was Friday, the day before her wedding, and someone stole $165,000 worth of jewelry. Sickening. it appears that no suspect has been identified or captured. Investigators aren’t even sure of how they entered the room in the first place. Some might callously suggest that John Stamos, whose net worth is estimated to be around $40 million, can easily replace what was lost. Sure, he has the cash. But not all jewelry is replaceable — heirlooms and other items may have sentimental value that can’t simply be matched by a dollar amount. Neither insurance nor a rich new husband can totally negate an invasive loss like that. It’s a little scary that someone was able to enter her room like that at all. But she’s married and has a baby on the way. That is, ultimately, more valuable than any volume of jewelry. Or, at least, more than $165,000 worth of it. Let’s be real.

Kylie Jenner Daughter is Named… Wait, What Now!?

Kylie Jenner has not named her daughter “Butterfly,” people. Come on now. Don’t get all crazy on us. In reality, according to multiple sources, Kylie Jenner has instead named her daughter… a variation on the word “Butterfly.” Chatter over what Jenner and Travis Scott are chosen to call their first child surfaced on Sunday night. This was not long, just a few hours really, after Kylie announced that she had given birth to a girl. She shared a video of her journey to parenthood. She released a statement explaining her months-long silence on the issue, shocking and delighting millions of her fans. She did everything short of unveiling photos of the newborn and letting us know her name. However, astute Internet users think they’ve stumbled on various clues that offer major hints regarding the latter. To wit: Kylie Tweeted a butterfly emoji on May 27, around the time she may have learned she was pregnant. Kylie has a butterfly necklace. Snapshots of the baby’s nursery reveal many butterfly decorations. Moreover … Travis Scott once released a single titled “Butterfly Effect.” Both Scott and Jenner have butterfly tattoos. So this settles it, right? Baby Girl Jenner will be named Butterfly , no? No, it now seems. And not just because Butterfly is a ridiculous name, even for someone whose sisters has dubbed her kids North, Saint and Chicago. But because other astute Internet users think Kris Jenner actually revealed the name of her latest grandchild on Instagram this week. “So cute! One of my favorite @kyliecosmetics shades!!” wrote Kris as a caption to the following image, adding with intrigue: Posie K is launching as a limited edition trio set to celebrate the second anniversary! Feb 5 on KylieCosmetics.com #Repost @kyliecosmetics: Say hello to the Posie K Anniversary Lip Trio! Featuring our award winning shade in gloss, matte and brand new velvet formula! Launching Feb 5. Why are this photo and these words notable? Because “Mariposa” is the Spanish word for – you guessed it! – “Butterfly.” Insiders tell Radar Online that Scott and Jenner have, indeed, chosen Mariposa as their child’s name and that she will be mostly referred to as “Posie.” Which is pretty darn cute, isn’t it? And it also does go along with the theme started by Kim Kardashian , who recently named her daughter “Chicago,” yet plans to call her “Chi.” Even if the child is called “Posie,” one more question will remain: Will she be Posie Jenner or Posie Scott? You’d have to imagine the latter, although Kylie and Travis aren’t married, so we can’t really say for certain. Would a member of this family really let a child not have the last name Jenner or Kardashian? Especially when odds are strong that Scott won’t stick around for the long haul? (We hope we’re wrong about that.) View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Gives Birth, Reveals Shocking Pregnancy Secrets & Photos So many questions.  So many components to a months-long mystery we’re just starting to decipher. All we can do is stay tuned. We’ll pass along the answers and any additional information as soon as we learn it, people. We are on this. UPDATE : We can at least put an end to some speculation, as Kylie revealed the name of her precious little one: Stormi! The Keeping Up With the Kardashians beauty revealed the unconventional name via Instagram just a few moments ago. She also posted the beautiful image above. We’re going to go out on a limb and guess that the unexpected moniker was in no way inspired by Stormy Daniels. Welcome to the world, little Stormi!

Bridezillas: The Trashiest Wedding Show is Back and Better Than Ever!

Do you remember Bridezillas? If you were a fan of trashy reality shows about ten years ago, there's no way you don't remember Bridezillas. But just in case you were never fortunate enough to witness this gem of a television program, Bridezillas was a show that aired on WEtv from 2004 to 2013. Each episode featured a couple of women preparing for their wedding days in the most dramatic way possible. They threw fits over everything and anything, and it was just an absolute joy to watch. Remember the bride who lost her mind on her poor fiancé and her family members when they were just trying to help her? Remember how she screamed and cried and made herself look like an unbelievable brat? Trick question: that kind of thing happened with literally all of the brides. As we said, Bridezillas stopped airing in 2013 for reasons we still don't understand. It was there, and then suddenly it was not, and it was a tough loss to handle.   But we don't have to be sad anymore, because in what has to be the best news we've heard in a long, long time , Bridezillas is returning to WEtv for its 11th season! In March!!! And just in case you think it's too good to be true, fear not, because the trailer for the new season is proof that we're about to be blessed with more reality trash than we know what to do with. The trailer begins with a woman all decked out in her bridal gear, screaming “It's my wedding day!”, and we're off to a very, very good start. We see a bride kicking a kid's bicycle, a bride looking furious in a surgical mask, a bride walking down the street with her hair in curlers screaming about other brides. It feels like coming home, honestly. Let's see, one woman throws her wedding cake to the ground, one cocks a shotgun in her dress, one has a breakdown over a veil. There are two different fights at two different weddings — physical ones between some male guests — and a grandma tells a bride that she should have gotten a boob job so her dress would fit better. We don't know what we did to deserve this kind of magic, but we'll certainly take it. Watch the full trailer below!

Ben Affleck’s Dad: It’s Not His Fault My Boy’s a Boozer!

Back in 2016, Ben Affleck appeared on Bill Simmons’ short-lived HBO show and screamed about his love for Tom Brady in what appeared to be a drunken tirade. At the time, the unhinged rant was mostly laughed off, and it was only later that the world learned that Affleck was battling alcoholism and was in the depths of his addiction at the time of the interview. As you’ve no doubt heard, Ben’s beloved Patriots lost to the underdog Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LII on Sunday. As the world marveled at Eagles’ fans willingness to lay waste to their own city, many wondered how Ben – arguably the most famous Pats fan and a close friend of Tom Brady’s – was handling the news. Back in December, Affleck checked into rehab for the third time in less than a year. These days, he’s out of treatment and reportedly sober, but after falling off the wagon so many times, Ben is no doubt aware that alcoholism is a lifelong battle. Ben’s father, Tim Affleck, has also struggled with addiction and earlier this week he opened up about his son’s struggles in a candid interview with Radar Online. It seems the elder Affleck believes his son’s struggles are mainly the result of the career he chose. “Hollywood is a disgusting place!” Tim told the outlet . “I’m not a big fan of the entertainment world. I know it’s taken its toll [on Ben].” Tim says he’s witnessed some major changes in his son’s character over the course of his decades in the industry. “You’re kind of forced to develop a persona that is hard to shed and go home to your family,” Tim says. “It affects your whole life. I think that’s one of the dangers of the film industry.” Ben has spoken at length about his father’s alcoholism and the ways in which it affected his childhood. “I know what he’s going through,” says Tim, who’s been sober 27 years. “Of course we speak about it, and we do have a shared history, at least in terms of struggle. Ben’s always been serious about getting sober. He wants a balanced life and he’s working at it.” Tim believes his son has what it takes to remain sober, but believes Ben may be too reliant upon the women in his life. “I don’t necessarily believe one person should be with someone forever,” Tim says. “Some people might, but history has proven it often doesn’t work.” Affleck has been dating Lindsay Shookus since the summer of 2017. We’re guessing she’s not thrilled with his dad’s latest comments. View Slideshow: 25 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab

Kylie Jenner Baby Video Shows Daughter, Chicago West, and More!

On Sunday, we learned that Kylie Jenner has welcomed her baby girl . The unnamed daughter was born healthy on February 1st. Despite the wall of secrecy that surrounded Kylie during her pregnancy, she's now revealing everything in a new video of the family. In the video below, we see Kylie's growing baby bump, we see Kim's baby Chicago West , and the camera was still rolling in the hospital room when Kylie gave birth . This video shows so much. After nearly a year of secrecy, rumor, and speculation, it's a shock tor receive so much new material on Kylie Jenner's pregnancy journey all at once. Curiously, the video was either shot on actual film (if you can imagine) or captured normally and then put through a filter to make it appear like a home video from the 1990s. (We'll say one thing about filming things with actual film — no hacker's going to be able to access that ) Whatever the format, we're delighted to see this video. (The camera zooms in on little Chicago West, cradled in the arms of the still very pregnant Kylie Jenner) The video is primarily about Kylie, of course, but it does feature some other surprises. For example, Kim Kardashian's youngest daughter, born via surrogate. Here's a wider shot: Chicago West seems to be a peaceful, happy baby. (And so incredibly cute!!) And Kylie (still pregnant in this portion of the video) looks right at home holding her precious little neice. As you can see in the top photo, Dream Kardashian — who's still a baby herself — meets her cousin, Chicago. Cuteness beyond measure. But we see plenty of footage of Kylie Jenner's baby bump through most of the video. As hard as Kylie worked to keep things secret in public, she didn't mind showing it off to those she trusted. There were some really, truly unkind reports that described Kylie as “unable to stop eating” and ashamed of the weight that she gained during pregnancy. We can't disprove those reports any more than we can confirm them, but to me , she looks on the small side compared to plenty of pregnant bodies. She had nothing of which to be ashamed — and wouldn't have, even if her weight gain had been drastic. For months and months, we wondered how long Kylie would hide her body . Well, here she is, sharing actual footage of her bare baby bump from during her pregnancy. So no, glimpses for curious fans won't be limited to the oversized hoodies that she enjoys sporting. We've also wondered how long Kylie will hide her baby. Well … wonder no longer. That's not a full shot, but this image, from towards the end of the video, shows Kylie Jenner and a baby right after we actually hear her giving birth . The unnamed baby was born at 4:43 pm on Thursday, February 1st, 2018. The birth weight was 8 pounds, 9 ounces. We can only guess at Kylie Jenner's baby name , but she's shared a whole lot of herself and her family in this video. Enjoy what Kylie refers to as “a little glimpse of the last 9 months.”

Justin Timberlake Halftime Performance: Grade It!

Justin Timberlake rocked our bodies, cried us a river and made sure the feelings didn't stop at halftime of Super Bowl 52. The beloved pop star was the featured act at the mid-point of the game between the Patriots and Eagles on Sunday night, as he was introduced by good friend Jimmy Fallon and started his act underneath the field. “Haters gonna say it's fake,” he then said many times, starting his performance with a brief rendition of “Filthy.” From there, Timberlake danced his way on to the field, rocking a red handkerchief around his neck that became the talk of Twitter. He sang “Rock Your Body.” He broke into “SexyBack.” He sampled “Gone.” He played all the hits, basically. Then, at one point, he sat at a piano and covered Prince, who tragically passed away last year from a drug overdose and who made his home in Minnesota. (The Super Bowl was played in Minnesota, it's worth noting.) “Minneapolis, this one's for you,” he said, prior to a few images of Prince being projected on a giant screen. Impressively, lights across Minnesota then lit up in Prince's trademark color of purple. It was pretty cool. The performance culminated in a rendition of “Rock Your Body,” which found Timberlake jumping into the crowd and telling a young fan to snap a selfie of him and the superstar. Overall, there was a whole lot of dancing, which is what Timberlake does as well as anyone, of course. The sound was off nearly throughout the entire act, but it's possible this was even done on purpose… lest millions of viewers hear Timberlake wheezing for 20 minutes after essentially running a 5K or so. There was no Janet Jackson, as had been rumored. Much to the chagrin of NSync fans everywhere, Timberlake’s halftime show did not include a reunion with his former bandmates, either. We didn't see Chris Kirkpatrick, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass or JC Chasez. How did JT stack up against Beyonce, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and past halftime acts? Give him a grade below: And then watch highlights from the performance here:

Dodge Exploits Martin Luther King to Sell Trucks, Twitter Erupts

Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream a very long time ago. And we can assure readers of the following: His dream was most definitely not to have his legendary words used in an ad for Dodge Ram trucks. But that's exactly what the car company did at Super Bowl 52, excerpting portions of the activity's 1968 speech “The Drum Major Instinct.” The 30-second ad cost Dodge $5 million… and a great deal of negative PR. It turned into a tribute to patriotism, complete with photos of U.S. Marines and a camouflage-clad soldier hugging his child.  This was a pitch for Dodge Ram trucks' “Built To Serve” volunteer program, but the commercial instead provoked anger from many viewers and a rebuke from the King Center itself, which says its mission is to carry on his teachings and to “empower change-makers who are continuing his efforts today.” The mission does NOT include the use of King to sell a bunch of vehicles. Tweeted The King Center during the game, as opinions were being voiced all around social media: Neither @TheKingCenter nor @BerniceKing is the entity that approves the use of #MLK's words or imagery for use in merchandise, entertainment (movies, music, artwork, etc) or advertisement, including tonight's @Dodge #SuperBowl commercial. Later, after writer Michael Arceneaux wrote on Twitter, “So that means the King children allowed Dr. King's voice to be used to sell me a Dodge truck,” Bernice King replied very simply: “No.” Added Tim Calkins, a marketing professor at Northwestern University: “The use of MLK to promote Ram trucks strikes many people as crass and inappropriate.” And Kelly O'Keefe, a professor at Virginia Commonwealth University's Brandcenter: “They pushed it over the edge. You wanted to root for it because the cause is good, but it just didn't end up fitting the brand, so you ended up feeling a little bit manipulated.” Do you agree? Or is this much ado over very little? Watch the controversial Super Bowl commercial below and decide for yourself:

Prince Fans Destroy Justin Timberlake for Halftime "Tribute"

Justin Timberlake performed a medley of his most beloved hits at halftime of Super Bowl 52. Did you catch the dance-filled act? Relive it HERE if not. The 13-plus minute performance featured Timberlake belting out such hits as “Can't Stop This Feeling” and “Gone,” but the focus a day later is on the minute or two during which he sat at a piano and played a cover of Prince's “I Would Die 4 U.” What a nice tribute to the late musician, who made his home in the Super Bowl host city of Minnesota, right? WRONG, many Prince fans are now saying. So very, very, very, VERY wrong. Scroll down and all around to find out why:  1. May He Rest in Peace Prince, of course, died in April of 2016. He was famous for his Minneosta mansion and he performed at halftime of the Super Bowl in 2007, leaving many to assume Timberlake would cover a song of his this year. 2. NO HOLOGRAM, JT! A song would have been great, but this is where the controversy started, with talk that Timberlake would sing alongside a Prince hologram during his act. Many years ago, Prince said the following about the use of such a device: “That’s the most demonic thing imaginable. Everything is as it is, and it should be. If I was meant to jam with Duke Ellington, we would have lived in the same age. That whole virtual reality thing… it really is demonic. And I am not a demon.” 3. Easy, Folks Long-time Prince friend Shiela E. said prior to the show that rumors of Timberlake using a hologram were false. She assured everyone this would NOT take place. 4. Okay, Phew Social media users felt a lot better after reading the message. 5. And She Was Sort of Right Check out the above photo. It’s not a hologram. It’s just a projection of Prince of a giant screen. But try parsing that difference to loyal Prince supporters, who were far from happy about Timberlake’s stunt. 6. Did This Count as a Hologram? Yes, it might as well have in the eyes of critics who took to Twitter and blasted Timberlake. View Slideshow

Chicago West: First Adorable Photos!

Nick Foles may have outshined Tom Brady while winning MVP honors in Super Bowl 52… … but the Eagles quarterback was unable to steal the headlines on Sunday from two people who didn’t play a single down in the big game. Wouldn’t you know that Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian would find a way to dominate the headlines?!? Jenner, of course, did so by giving birth to her first child. Following months of secrecy, the 20-year old welcomed a baby girl over the weekend , releasing a statement shortly afterward that explained why she had remained out of the spotlight during her pregnancy. “I knew for myself I needed to prepare for this role of a lifetime in the most positive, stress free, and healthy way I knew how,” Kylie said via statement, adding on Sunday: “I appreciate my friends and especially my family for helping me make this special moment as private as we could… “I’ve never felt love and happiness like this; I could burst!” To make up for how little she shared with the public during her journey to motherhood, Kylie posted a lengthy video online that depicted her baby bump in various stages, along with something else… Kylie Jenner Video Shows Baby Girl, Chicago West, and More! … glimpses of Chicago West! That’s right, fans were unexpectedly treated to a few looks at Kim and Kanye West’s third child via the footage above, as Kylie’s family members visited her in the hospital prior to her own baby’s arrival. For example, Rob stopped by with daughter Dream, who adorably touched the head of her cousin at one point. You can see what we mean here: Kim – who has not yet shared any pictures of her daughter on social media or sold any to supermarket tabloids (yet) – also allowed little Chicago to be filmed for this special video. The child was born via surrogate last month because Kardashian has a health complication that would have made another pregnancy very dangerous. Kim and Kanye were right in the delivery room when Chicago entered the world at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Check out this cute snapshot of mother and new child: “She’s here!” Kardashian declared in extra-large type on her Twitter account shortly after the blessed event took place, adding at the time: “We’re so in love… “We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care.” At another point in her video to fans, Jenner is seen cradling her niece in her arms, preparing for the many days and nights in which she’ll be doing the same with her own little girl. (Kylie is yet to announce her daughter’s name.) It certainly looks like Chicago West is very well loved, doesn’t it? She’ll soon have even more company, too, as Khloe Kardashian is pregnant and expecting her first child at some point in the next month or so. How crazy is all of this?!? Just when you think the Kardashians-Jenners are out of ways to make news, just when you think that the Eagles finally winning a Super Bowl would be all anyone wants to talk about… … bam! Kim, Kylie and, in due time, Khloe make it as clear as ever: This is their universe. We should just be grateful that they allow us to reside in it. (Also: Congrats to Kylie and Kim! We’re so very happy for them!) View Slideshow: The Kardashians Confess: 15 Things You Didn’t Know About Us

Javi Marroquin: I Ditched Briana DeJesus After Her Surgery!

It’s looking like Miami will continue to be the center of Teen Mom 2 drama next week! Here’s a brief recap of everything that’s been going on in the Sunshine State, in case you haven’t been keeping up: First, Briana DeJesus and Kailyn Lowry both flew to Miami for plastic surgery sessions with the appropriately-named Dr. Miami. Kailyn canceled her procedure after experiencing a last-minute change of heart. Briana did go under the knife, and Dr. Miami shared her before and after photos on his social media pages today. (That may seem a bit sleazy, but you have to understand that plastic surgeons are basically the Charlie Sheens of the medical community.) Anyway, despite the fact that the past two days saw more surgical drama than an entire season of Grey’s Anatomy , the big story out of Miami this week is the news that Briana and Javi Marroquin are already back together after breaking up last month. Or at least they were … Javi joined Briana in Florida so he could be by her side in the hours leading up to her procedure. Fans assumed he would stick with her during her recovery, but just hours after her procedure, Javi was on Snapchat announcing that he was looking to go out and party in Miami. When fans accused him of ditching Briana, Javi offered no explanation or apology. Just the day before he was making appearances on her Snapchat, and all appeared to be well. So what went wrong in the interim? Well, there’s been no official word, but we’re guessing the surprise appearance by Briana’s baby daddy, Devoin Austin, didn’t sit well with Javi. Yes, it seems Devoin showed up, and a rightfully pissed-off Javi immediately took off. “I should’ve never went,” Javi told Radar Online about the incident. “I should’ve went to LA like I was supposed to. We broke up for a reason and yesterday reassured me of that.” To make matters worse, it seems Javi’s ex-wife has been keeping close tabs on the situation and loving every second of it. All week, Kailyn has been teasing fans with the prospect of a big revelation involving Javi. Many assumed that the Devoin situation was the tea that she planned to spill, but a tweet she posted moments ago suggests there’s more big Javi news in the offing: “Everyone’s asking where the tea is at but Javi’s been through enough so I’m not gona put him through more shit,” Lowry wrote. Sounds like Javi is having one hell of a rough week. He might actually need more recovery time than Briana. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the many ups and downs in the life of Mr. Marroquin.
