The untimely death of Nugget, Jenelle Evans' poor little French bulldog, made a whole, whole lot of waves. And that's because the dog was killed by Jenelle's husband, David Eason. Or was she? Did David actually kill the dog? Is everything we know a lie? In the past few days, Jenelle has been talking more and more about what happened, and she's made an even bigger mess of everything, if you can even believe it. She's made a mess so big, in fact, that she may be facing charges for it. 1. Buckle Up! This is a long, complicated, sometimes infuriating story, all right? So settle in, maybe grab a snack or some tissues or like a stress ball or something, and let’s get started. 2. RIP Nugget At the end of April, David shot and killed Nugget, Jenelle’s dog, after she allegedly bit Ensley. It was a huge story at the time, and clearly it still is. 3. The Confession After the news of Nugget’s death broke, David took to Instagram to explain his side of the story, writing “I dont give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face… whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I dont put up with that sh-t at all. I’m all about protecting my family, it is my lifes mission.” 4. Worth Killing For “Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me,” he continued. “You can hate me all you want but this isnt the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. The only person that can judge weather or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME.” 5. Confirmed Jenelle confirmed the awful news several times in different statements — like, she said “David killed my dog Nugget because he snapped at my 2-year-old, Ensley. He doesn’t put up with that and those are his beliefs. He just took her and shot her in the woods … about two acres away from the house.” 6. More Evidence She shared countless stories on her social media accounts about how David had killed the dog, she posted a sad story about how devastated she was that the dog was gone and never coming back … like, we all know what happened.

Yet Rih has been busy doing everything but making music. She’s out here being a near-billionaire selling her makeup and lingerie and whatever else she wants while maybe wanting to get married to her own billionaire boo. She’s living her best life. That hasn’t stopped us from pestering her over her album every damn day. Rih has seen your pleas and she has answered with…making fun of all of us. Whoops.

Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa At Harlem’s “Field Trip” Rice Is The Star Of The Show Harlem’s celebrity chef JJ Johnson has opened a new eatery uptown where the rice takes the center stage. The humble grain is elevated at “Field Trip,” which showcases how rice has been overlooked, yet remained a staple in countries in the African Diaspora for thousands of years. Field Trip officially opened for business on July 10, hawking rice bowls that incorporate flavors from places like China, India, South East Asia, the Americas and West Africa. “Noodle bars have been getting love – why not rice?” Chef Johnson said. “We’re just trying to bring some more respect back to it. I don’t think it’s unfamiliar because we all eat it, but for it to be the center of the show, we haven’t seen that.” Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa The restaurant serves rice bowls topped with ingredients like braised beef, spicy black beans and turmeric yogurt or salmon, pineapple and edamame topped with Piri Piri sauce. The bowls range in price from $8.99 to $11.99 and there’s a half-price option for kids.

Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa Field Trip is housed in a historic building on Lenox Avenue, and its exposed brick and a stripped back aesthetic gives the place an almost industrial feel. And it’s playlist features only Harlem-born artists. Chef Johnson said that he grew up eating rice, and got the idea for his restaurant after traveling the world as a young chef and seeing how other cultures incorporated the grain into their dishes. He said his rice varieties are freshly milled heirlooms that aren’t bleached or enriched. Source: Bea De Costa / Bea De Costa The rice-forward concept went over well with customer Marita Monroe, who lives a block away, gave “Field Trip” two thumbs up. “Finally, the community has a place to feel welcome,” Monroe said. “It’s not intimidating. And the pricing is great.” “Field Trip” is located at 109 Lenox Ave. in New York City.
By now, yopu've probably heard the entire sordid story of how Jenelle Evans lost custody of her kids. The short version goes something like this: David Eason shot and killed Jenelle's dog in a fit of rage; the entire world freaked out because who the hell does that; CPS investigated and took the kids away to homes with fewer dog murders. By now, most of us familiar with that narrative. But this is Jenelle Evans we're talking about, which means there might be several layers of dishonesty, fabrication, and flat-out BS in plahy here. Sure, no sane person would ever pretend that their husband executed the family dog, but that doesn't mean Jenelle would never do such a thing. Yes, believe it or not, police now believe Evans might have made the whole thing up for publicity. Check out the latest wild allegation against the former Teen Mom 2 star: 1. The Nugget Incident Back in April, Jenelle told police that Jenelle shot and killed her French bulldog, Nugget, after the animal allegedly made a threatening gesture toward her 2-year-old daughter, Ensley. 2. Partner In Crime David has corroborated that story many times since, claiming that he made a split-second decision and dragged Nugget out of the house and shot him. 3. “Evidence” Eason even posted this photo which he claims shows a scratch on Ensley’s face, which was left there by David. 4. David’s Defense “I dont give a damn what animal bites my baby on the face… whether it be your dog or mine, a dog is a dog and I dont put up with that shit at all. I’m all about protecting my family, it is my lifes mission,” Eason wrote in a since-deleted social media tirade. 5. Not the Brightest Bulb “Some people are worth killing or dying for and my family means that much to me. You can hate me all you want but this isnt the first time the dog bit Ensley aggressively. The only person that can judge weather or not a animal is a danger to MY CHILD is ME,” he concluded. 6. Yeah, No … Of course, David quickly learned that the government actually gets to determine what is and his not a threat to his kids, ad Ensley and the other children were removed from the Easons’ land following a CPS investigation.

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!
It is, officially, the end of a dramatic and intense and emotional and memorable era. Lisa Vanderpump is no longer a member of The Real Housewives family. Following Tuesday night’s episode of this beloved franchise , the veteran reality star took to her Instagram account and bid farewell to the show and its loyal viewers. She shared a montage clip that featured sultry saxophone music in the background, along with herself in a flowing gown, and wrote as a caption to the footage: The Pump has left the building. Thank you to all of you for your support for 9 years. #rhobh. Vanderpump, of course, had been a series regular in Beverly Hills from the very beginning. She turned her stint on the show into her very own spinoff, Vanderpump Rules, and has used the fame she garnered as a cable network stalwart to expand her restaurant franchise. Along with Bethenny Frankel and NeNe Leakes, one could argue that Vanderpump has been the most successful Real Housewife of all-time. Vanderpump told Entertainment Tonight back in April that she “stopped filming halfway through the [current] season” and that a reconciliation with her fellow cast members was unlikely after one too many fallouts. “When you are a woman of integrity, and you’re a woman that works really hard and is very compassionate, and is very principally minded, and they keep coming at you and ganging up on you, I don’t know,” she said at the time, adding: “I didn’t integrate with the other women after they constantly called me a liar.” The star has faced multiple personal tragedies over the past year, contributing to her need to make some sort of change in her life. Last April, Vanderpump’s brother died of a suspected drug overdose . This past June, her mother passed away . It didn’t help, after all this, that Vanderpump clashed with her colleagues over a dog this past season. Yes, a dog . Known to fans as PuppyGate, we’re referring to an incident that involved a canine that Dorit Kemsley adopted from Vanderpump Dogs. She then alleged the dog nipped at her husband and kids. Instead of returning it to Vanderpump Dogs, however, the pet ended up in a shelter. From there, Vanderpump was accused of leaking a story about Kemsley’s dog to the press, an act she has since denied. It may sound ridiculous, but it created legitimate tension between all involved. In May, on an episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Vanderpump took a lie detector test to prove her innocence in PuppyGate. “I handled it with the truth and that’s, I think, why I ended up doing the lie detector test,” she explained to Us Weekly earlier that month. “Because I was like, I was so sick of them saying, ‘Oh, I don’t believe this.’ Or ‘I don’t believe that.’ Or ‘You did this.’” Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 9 Episode 21 Online Lisa then spoke to this same tablod last month. “I made the decision to leave. It was a very difficult year for me, personally and professionally,” Lisa told Us Weekly last month while attending 7th Annual Real to Reel: Portrayals and Perceptions of LGBT’s in Hollywood event. She added: “I had wonderful things happen this year, opening up and TomTom and the cocktail garden in Vegas. The Housewives, it’s just, it’s emotionally too difficult to deal with.” Will you miss Vanderpump? Will you keep watching the show without her?

Unfortunately the city’s Streets departments made a small but noticeable mistake when they failed to capitalize the “b” in LaBelle on street signs during a naming ceremony in honor of the iconic singer held last Tuesday.

Source: Brian Ach / Getty In a new interview with the New York Times , Whoopi Goldberg was asked about being unsuccessful in love and marriage . The 63-year-old comedic legend has been married three times over the years, including to Alvin Martin from 1973 to 1979, David Claessen from 1986 to 1988, and most recently, and her shortest union, Lyle Trachtenberg from 1994 to 1995. In the past (in 2016 specifically), she simply said she was no longer married because “I don’t want somebody in my house.” In this new interview though, she broke things down a bit further, saying she was exchanging vows with these men for the wrong reasons. She felt like that was what she was supposed to do, but when she was actually in the marriages, she found there were certain things about being in a relationship that she just didn’t feel comfortable with. Those things included having to check in with someone else. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.

But if you’re in a relationship, you have to do those things, and it took me a while to figure out that I didn’t want to. I’d be thinking, why don’t I feel the thing that I’m supposed to?
