Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk: We’re Engaged!

Gwyneth Paltrow's latest issue of Goop has something new — and no, it's not yet another suggestion that readers stuff rocks up their vaginas for better sex . Well, that might be in there too, for all we know. But the big story, as you'll see in the video below, is … Gwyneth Patlrow and Brad Falchuk confirm are confirming their engagement! Back in November, we told you that Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Falchuk are engaged . Gwyneth Paltrow is, of course, a legendary actress who's also more than dabbled in … what's a nice word for quackery ? Let's go with “self-help” and “wellness,” through her Goop magazine. Brad Falchuk is an unnecessarily handsome writer who's been a fellow creative and even co-creator on a number of Ryan Murphy projects, from Glee to Scream Queens to American Horror Story . Their cozy romance has warmed even our cold hearts a time or two, including when Gwyneth and Brad showed off an actually good Halloween costume . Couples costumes can say a lot about the couple themselves. When we reported that the couple was engaged, that was a little over a month ago and it was based upon, well, other reports. They hadn't made an official announcement. Now, though, Gwyneth and Brad have come forward with an official announcement: they're engaged. They made their announcement in the newest issue of Goop, because of course they did. Good Morning America reported the couple's statement. “We feel incredibly lucky to have come together at this juncture in our lives, when our collective successes and failures can serve as building blocks for a healthy and happy relationship.” That statement is almost normal for Gwyneth. Compared to her “conscious uncoupling” from ex, Chris Martin, it sounds like what a non-bonkers person would say in their announcement. (Though we wonder if there's some sort of special, weird, New Age significance to “juncture in our lives” and “building blocks” but … let's try to give them the benefit of the doubt) As a public figure, Gwyneth is often disliked by people who are tired of her Goop . (She thinks people only dislike her because she's a woman , but misogyny is, for once, not the primary source of ire) But she must be very likable in person, because Brad Falchuk's clearly fallen for her. (No, we don't just think that he's there for the great, Goop -approved anal sex ) Gwyneth and Brad reportedly discussed the possibility of engagement for at least a year before they decided to actually take that step. It's so good that they decided to wait. A lot of people fall in love and think that it's forever, and rush into a doomed marriage. But Gwyneth and Brad have both been in very lengthy relationships — and even marriages — before. This isn't their first rodeo, so they considered things carefully. And, as Good Morning America reveals, deciding that they should consciously couple was about one thing in particular. .. Where to go out to dinner? Well, more accurately, about what sort of things they can see themselves arguing about when they're 90. Which they imagine will still be about where to go out for dinner. We hope that things go well for them. Sometimes, what's a playful argument during your first few years of a relationship can grow old and bitter when you're decades older.

Khloe Kardashian: I’m Happier Than I’ve Ever Been! Sorry, Lamar!

If you’ve seen or heard anything from Khloe Kardashian lately, you’ve probably noticed one thing … Well, a couple of things. There’s no denying that baby bump these days! But besides the pregnancy — though we’re sure the pregnancy is a big part of it — she’s really just seemed so happy and peaceful, hasn’t she? Like after so many ups and downs, she’s finally settled in a place where she wants to be in life. It’s so nice to see. And if you weren’t near tears over the beautiful turnaround of Khloe Kardashian’s life already, well, let her break it all down for you in this lengthy but super touching Instagram post she made today! For her photo, she shared an older photo of herself along with a much more recent one — her “revenge body”: In the caption, she wrote “Sometimes it’s hard for me to post these transformation posts only because I can’t imagine my life being this unhealthy again.” To clarify, she added that “Never would I ever consider myself fat, but I would consider myself unhealthy mentally/physically and not knowing my true value. Mind, body and soul.” Aww, KoKo. “For me,” she wrote, “my transformation started from within. I needed to heal myself from the inside out.” “Once I started putting myself first, everything started falling into place. My life transformed a few years ago when I made the decision to stop existing and start living.” A few years ago, of course, is when she split from Lamar Odom and began focusing hard on her fitness. She’s said many times that she began going to the gym as a way to deal with everything that was going on with Lamar — his downward spiral began while they were still together. It must have been tough for her to file for divorce and take care of herself when so many people were convinced that they were soulmates, destined to be together forever. But, as she explained, “I decided when I was ready regardless of what anybody else was saying about me. Regardless of the pressures. I had to do this on my terms or I knew it wouldn’t last.” “It’s ok to take the control back,” she advised her followers. “Choose your life. Don’t let anybody else decide for you!” “We are no victims to life but we can become victims and prisoners to the people that we choose to surround ourselves with if we allow them to break us and consume us.” Anyone else loving this motivational speaker side of Khloe? Because we are kind of living for it. “Never be afraid to put yourself first!” she preached. “Never choose comfort over your own well-being! Never forget that fate loves the fearless!” “Today’s wisdom was yesterday’s pain. Tomorrow’s happiness is today’s bravery! I am so proud of myself for being stronger than I’ve ever been — mind body and soul.” And she should be — we still don’t know all that went on with her marriage to Lamar, but just considering what we do know, it’s amazing that she’s been able to pull herself up like this. We all saw how deeply she loved him, and we also saw how deeply he betrayed her. She definitely should be proud of her strength. Khloe also wrote that she’s “even prouder of myself that I’ve been able to maintain a healthy lifestyle for so many years. I broke that cycle and I’m happier than I have ever been!” “You can do this!! Start from within and nothing can stop you,” she finished. “Elevate yourself — mind body and soul.” It’s no wonder why so many people refer to her as the best Kardashian, huh?

Duggar Courtship News: Who Will Enter a Relationship Next?

We're only five days into the new year, but 2018 has already seen a Duggar baby announcement and a whole slew of courship speculation. We now know that Jinger Duggar is expecting her first child , but that's certainly not the only way in which reality TV's largest family will be expanding in the months to come. Joy-Anna Duggar is also expecting, as is Joseph Duggar's new wife, Kendra Caldwell. And of course, several single Duggars are set to embark on courtship journeys of their own in the months to come. Here's a rundown of who might be next to leave the nest: 1. Jana Duggar The perennial fan favorite. Fans have been hoping for a courtship announcement from Jana for years now. And thanks to her increasingly close “friendship” with Caleb Williams, it seems 2018 will finally be her year. 2. John David Duggar This is another one that wouldn’t come as much of a surprise. In fact, it’s widely believed that John David is already involved in a secret courtship with a woman from Texas. No word on why he might be keeping things on the down-low. 3. The Pressure Is On! Both Jana and John David are no doubt feeling the pressure to announce relationships. The twins will turn 28 this month, and they’re the oldest unmarried Duggars by a considerable margin. 4. Josiah Duggar Many fans believe this is the year that Josiah Duggar will once again try his hand at courtship. Josiah is the only member of his family to enter a relationship that did not result in marriage, having pursued an ill-fated romance with Marjorie Jackson in 2016. 5. A Social Media Loophole Some fans believe Josiah is the next to go a-courtin’, as in many respects, he’s more modern and mature than many of his siblings. Duggars are typically forbidden to have social media accounts until they enter a formal courtship. However, Josiah has maintained an Instagram page despite the fact that his relationship with Jackson has come to en end, leading many to believe that he’s using it to keep in touch with potential mates. 6. Jedediah Duggar Smart money is on Jedediah Duggar announcing a courship in 2018. As many fans have pointed out, he was likely already involved in a romantic relationship that went awry.

Alaskan Bush People: Gabe Brown Breaks Social Media Silence!

Back in late November, we were all warned of an Alaskan Bush People imposter catfishing people as Gabe Brown . That warning came via his little sister, Rain Brown, who has been acting as the unofficial spokesperson for the Brown family thanks to her powerful social media presence. Well, after a long absence, Gabe Brown appears to be back on Instagram, folks. The real Gabe. And he has a new photo to prove it. This selfie was the last that we saw on social media of Alaskan Bush People star Gabe Brown. Posted back in August of 2017, it was followed by an absence of several months. To be fair, though, his hiatus didn’t come out of nowhere. In a series of now-deleted Instagram videos, Gabe suggested that he was considering stepping back from the internet while he battled a broken heart. “I might quit social media altogether the only friend I wanted to follow me in the first place I guess blocked me I do appreciate all the friends I’ve made trying to regain my best one I lost.” That sounds devastating. “But after FB it’s just not very fun anymore not good bey just see y’all later keep up the cool posts God bless you all have fun and laugh often your Instagram friend Gabe. Lots of love to everyone.” In the past, as in this photo, Gabe had made light of romantic misfortune. This particular image, posted only weeks before his final selfie, was captioned: “My romantic evening for one I have these too often lol.” Clearly, though, he found it hard to move on after rejection and we guess that being on social media either no longer held any interest or was simply too painful. Or, perhaps, both. Gabe Brown shared this blurry selfie out of nowhere on January 2nd. He captioned his triumphant return to social media: “I’m back [grinning emoji] moohaha” (We think that the bit at the end was supposed to be a gregarious or even playfully sinister laugh, like muahaha or mwahaha , rather than sounding like the laughter of a nefarious cow) That’s great news! Fans and followers were quick to welcome Gabe back with open arms, commenting: “Welcome back I’ve missed talking with you.” “Nice to see you back on IG we all have hard times but you have the strongest family bond there is.” ” Welcome back I would love to chat with you. ” “So glad. I’m so sorry about your mom. My mom passed in 2002. I no how hard it can be. Love the show and you.” Some kept it short, sweet, and purely positive: “Hi Gabe!! Happy New Year!” Considering that Rain had clarified that Gabe was going through some tough times when she warned of the imposter, this is good news. Good news for fans, sure, because they’re happy to get updates on Gabe’s well-being. But also good news, in that it may be a sign that Gabe’s emotional health is in a better place. He’s putting himself out there again, and that can only be a good thing, right? We think so. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

NFL Heiress Goes on Drunken, Anti-Semitic Rampage

The very rich, seemingly very spoiled and apparently very racist daughter of ex-Washington Redskins owner Jack Kent Cooke was arrested yesterday following an altercation on New Year’s Eve. And we’re talking about one doozy of an altercation. According to TMZ, People Magazine and other outlets, the ugly incident took place at Caravaggio, a restaurant on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It also took place on New Year’s Eve. Cooke was allegedly waiting in line to get her coat when she grew irritating, yelling at a 77-year old in front of her: “Hurry up, Jew. I got places to be.” In response, the woman’s son, Matthew Haberkorn, followed the 29-year old Cooke outside and confronted her about this inappropriate comment. And Cooke stood quietly, listened to the man and apologized. Just kidding! She reportedly attacked Haberkorn with her glass purse, opening up two huge wounds on his face. There’s actually video of the beating, in which you can hear Matthew say “She just f*cking hit me!” Cooke fires back: “You called me a f-cking bitch. You called me a cunt.” And then Matthew again: “You called me a f-cking Jew.” Haberkorn also shared two photos of his lacerations on social media shortly after everything went down. Cooke and her boyfriend eventually left the scene, but authorities later arrested her for felony assault. In addition to the physical harm caused to Haberkorn’s head, his attorney says the normally “mellow Californian” is “very distressed.” Translation: he will be filing a major lawsuit against the heiress. “The damage was what you saw in the photo, but it goes beyond that,” Andrew T. Miltenberg tells People Magazine. The lawyer adds that Haberkorn intends to press charges and sue Cooke civilly for what they allege was a hate crime and civil rights violation. Jack Kent Cooke passed away in April of 1997 after having owned the Redskins and, at other times, the Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Kings. He left behind about $1 billion in assets, according to the Washington Post. However, he only provided his daughter with a $50,000 annual stipend, prompting her to file a lawsuit against her father’s estate in 2007 because she wanted more money each year. She sounds like a real peach.

Paul Sorvino on Harvey Weinstein: I’ll Kill the Motherf–ker!

If you've been anywhere near the internet in the past three months, then you're no doubt aware of the shocking public disgrace that is the  Harvey Weinstein sex scandals . At this point, there are so many accusations against Weinstein that it's nearly impossible to keep track of them all, but not one of his victims has forgotten the damage he inflicted. Among Weinstein's many high-profile (alleged) victims is the actress Mira Sorvino, who was (allegedly) blacklisted by the powerful mogul after he attempted to rape her and she fled . Those familiar with the situation say Weinstein effectively derailed Sorvino's once-promising career as revenge for eluding his attempted sexual assault. It remains to be seen if Weinstein will go to prison in connection with the many accusations against him, but it's beginning to look like he'd be better off incarcerated. The former Miramax chief has some mighty powerful enemies on the outside these days, including Mira's famous father, Paul Sorvino. You might know Paul as Paulie in Goodfellas , or from a number of other intimidating badass roles that didn't seem to be much of a stretch for the veteran actor. TMZ recently caught up with Paul and asked him about the Weinstein situation. “He better hope that he goes to jail,” Sorvino told the outlet in no uncertain terms. “If we come across, I think he'll be lying on the floor … somehow.” Hilariously, Sorvino's awesome threats get even more blunt from there. Watch the full clip below to see Sorvino make an early case for himself as Dad of the Year:

My 600 Lb. Life Star Worries Fans With Naked Facebook Videos

Former My 600 Lb Life has alarmed fans in recent months with his naked videos and strange, inexplicable behavior. Now, in the video that you can see below, he's singing “Santa Baby” while wearing nothing but Christmas lights. Is this an issue with substance abuse and mental health, or is it a ploy for attention and money. Or, as some fans fear, is it both ? Usually, social media is a wonderful tool, especially when it comes to keeping up with the lives of low-level celebrities who'd otherwise slip below the radar. Following contestants or reality stars after they leave their shows, however, isn't always a carousel of Instagrammed meals and puppy videos with the occasional plug for somebody's weight loss tea that definitely doesn't work. Sometimes social media access means that you watch a troubled contestant spiral out of control, with no one around to help them. Case in point: former My 600 Lb Life contestant Steven John Assanti. His recent behavior is erratic and worrisome. Steven John Assanti is one of the most controversial figures to have appeared on My 600 Lb Life . In fact, because he continued to (allegedly) abuse drugs, he ended up being released from the program that might have transformed his body — and life. Assanti had seemed to mellow since then. For a while, during 2017, he was making encouraging posts for new contestants who were trying to lose weight. He had also announced that he didn't resent Dr. Now for shaming him for his body in front of a mirror, saying that it was “not fat-shaming” and calling the experience a “wake-up call.” In late 2017, that changed. Assanti has begun to, simply put, behave in a manner that appears to be an attempt at “shock value.” In various videos, some of which have gone viral in the worst ways, he has appeared naked. While we're not body-shaming him, it appears that he's attempting to bait his haters … for reasons that we can only guess. In one video, he sits naked on a toilet, caresses his body, and chants: “sitting on the toilet,” interspersed with humming. In another, in which he's actually wearing clothing, he allegedly admits to “hospital shopping” for pain pills. And, in the video that you can see below, he dances naked while covered in Christmas lights while singing “Santa Baby.” Commenters range from concern to condemnation. “You really need to lay off the drugs, dude.” “Purely out of morbid curiosity, I watched the video…..my heart breaks for you, Steven. It is glaringly obvious you are in desperate need of help. I hope you get it.” “This guy has been given so much help and so many opportunities to get better and lose weight and deal with his mental and drug issues…… but he is an egotistical and self obsessed human who doesn't want the help.” “Yup still waiting for the day he flashes his tiny peepee and gets banned from facebook. We're getting close folks.” “This guy was on the extreme weight loss documentary and he was the biggest asshole I've ever seen. I've never seen someone who has been offered so much help and tossed it away like he did. I have zero sympathy for this guy at all.” Assanti's behavior is alarming. But is he losing his mind? Or is there a method to his apparent madness? Facebook videos can be monetized, just like YouTube videos. In fact, the process works very similarly. The video that you're going to see below has more than 200,000 views. The toilet video? Has more than 5 million. By trolling in this manner, is he just working to rack up ad revenue? Maybe. But we're concerned for his well being, regardless. Assanti's long-awaited Where Are They Now? airs tonight at 8pm on TLC.
