The proposal, known as House Bill 757, was supported by religious groups and organizations who wanted protection for denying service to those whose religious beliefs are different from their own. If passed, the bill would have allowed the refusal of jobs and services without legal ramifications.
Cynthia Bailey Says She Plans To Move To LA Is Cynthia Bailey’s marriage coming to an end or does the RHOA just need a new storyline? The reality star recently revealed during Reality Checked with Radio And y, the model says that her marriage is in serious trouble: “Peter and I are not in a great place right now, honestly I don’t know what’s going to happen with us right now, we’re still trying to figure it out. It’s complicated.” “We’ve been married five years. We’ve been together for eight. We’re the only couple on The Real Housewives of Atlanta that was actually married on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. We’ve never been married outside of the show, and I don’t think that has helped us a lot.” Cynthia now tells Entertainment Tonight that she’s ready to put some distance between her and Peter …. “I’m a lover of love,” Cynthia continues. “You know, I am the woman that will leave New York City and relocate with her child and nanny to Atlanta for love, OK? So, with that said, I think I get to be that same girl who can say, ‘You know, I think it’s time for me to pack up my tent — my love tent — and move somewhere else now.’” “I just don’t feel that same peace and happiness that I was feeling, you know, when we started this journey,” Cynthia confesses. “I always thought that I would end up back in New York,” Cynthia says. “But, I’m kind of feeling L.A. … I love acting. Hopefully I move out to L.A., and there will be more acting opportunities.” Do you think Cynthia and Peter’s struggle marriage is coming to an end right before our very eyes? COMMENTS
Tracy Morgan Admits That He Contemplated Suicide After His Tragic Car Accident When Tracy Morgan hosted Saturday Night Live last year, we all rejoiced. He appeared to have fully recovered from the car accident that we feared would take his life. Fast-forward 21 months and Tracy is now taking time to reflect publicly on his mental and physical state during that very difficult time via Rolling Stone … In the wake of Morgan’s injuries, it felt like his worst fears were coming true. “I said, ‘If my funny ever went away, I’d die,’” he says on a Monday evening in his New Jersey home, a few days before the Michigan show. “And I thought I was going to die for a long time. My thoughts – I was in a very dark place. I was sitting right here, contemplating suicide. I couldn’t walk.” He’s in an easy chair facing a TV in his living room, near a cylindrical tank where his giant Pacific octopus lurks, waiting for its next meal of lobster. Morgan insisted on leaving the hospital early and continuing his rehabilitation at home. “You go to hospitals to f***ing die,” he says. “If I got to go, I wanted to be in the house with my family.” For the first couple of weeks, he stayed in the second-floor bedroom, unable to navigate the stairs. “My wife heard all the screaming,” he says, calling Megan over from the kitchen, where she and her mother are playing with Maven, who is dressed head-to-toe in Disney gear. “She changed all the bedsheets when I s**t on myself. She knows.” Personal injuries aside, it appears that part of what lead Tracy to that “dark place” was the death of his friend and mentor Jimmy Mack. Morgan struggled with feelings of guilt, reminding himself that everyone in the car was there because of him. “Emotionally, it’s hard for me to deal with,” he says. “I asked everybody to be there that night. I have to live with that. But I had to forgive myself. I know Jimmy would want it like that.” He cues up a song he’d play to soothe himself in his dark moments – which happens to be the smooth-jazz theme from Taxi – and begins to weep. “I remember the days,” he murmurs. “I remember them days. Jesus.” Morgan has zero desire to recover his memories of that night. “The past is nothing but a forest filled with horrors,” he says, gravely. Because it is Tracy Morgan saying these words, I can’t help but laugh. He grins a little, and starts repeating the phrase, putting some spin on it, pushing it fully around the corner to comedy. “Nothing but a forest full of horrors,” he intones. We’re beyond thrilled that Tracy did not choose to end his life. His unique brand of comedy is needed in these days when there are SO many things that can bring us down on a daily basis. God bless Tracy Morgan and his family. Image via Splash

Oh, Rob, are you backsliding on your diet already? It was just a couple weeks ago when the sock designer flaunted a brand new slimmed down figure – the result of a strict diet and exercise regimen prescribed by his girlfriend Blac Chyna. Word has it Rob's lost more than 50 pounds under the guidance of his new lady love, who he's been dating for about two months now. But anyone who's ever been on a diet knows the drill. You start to see results, then you treat yo'self. Again. And again. Yesterday, Bobby Boy posted a video to Instagram of him and Blac at the drive-thru at In-N-Out Burger, apparently his favorite. “Where we at?” he asks Blac, who is busy on her phone. “In-N-Out, baby,” replies Ms. Chyna, who surprisingly doesn't seem too miffed. “Yay! Yay!” chants Rob, obviously sick of the steamed cardboard diet Blac's been feeding him. We kid. Blac's reportedly been cooking her man healthy, home-cooked meals, but also insisting that he stay away from fast food. To say she's been strict is a gross understatement, as we saw her lose her sh*t upon the sight of tortillas in Rob's pantry. On his birthday last week, Rob also stopped by the burger joint to treat himself to a Double-Double, possibly animal style. Totally understandable – everyone knows calories don't count on your birthday. Then earlier today, a TMZ paparazzo caught Rob and Blac at the airport and asked about cheat days . “It's my birthday, so we do a lot of cheat days,” Rob replied. Evidently he's one of those annoying people who insists upon everyone celebrating his “birthday month,” because his actual birthday was more than a week ago. However, it looks like Rob received the best prezzie possible on his big day: a GIFT CARD to In-N-Out. “Finished up my IN N OUT gift card today lol mannnnnnnn,” he wrote on Instagram. Aww. Guess tasty time is over for the Robster.
Whatcha nippin’ and tuckin’ now, Kimmy? We don’t know, but it sounds good. The selfie queen has reportedly been spotted at the plastic surgeon’s office a total of seven times in the past five weeks , according to Radar Online. Of course, this is also the outlet that claimed Kim had some teeth removed to make her face appear slimmer , so IDK. Here’s the breakdown the site gives of Kim K. sightings at Epione, a plastic surgery clinic in Beverly Hills: March 24 – dressed in black with a Yeezy baseball cap March 18 – seen with a friend, supposedly to get stretch marks lasered off plus other “nips and tucks” to restore her pre-baby bod March 17 – sporting an oversized jacket with her face plastered on it and the words “CHILL” down the sleeve March 10 – wielding an orange bag with BFF Jonathan Cheban and his girlfriend March 1 – in head-to-toe black workout garb and Yeezy sneaks Feb 20 – wearing boxer braids and an all-black ensemble Feb 17 – in a black sweatshirt and black leggings Well, looks like she was there, but exactly what was happening behind that door is anyone’s guess, and we just happen to have two! Guess #1: Fixing her ruptured butt implants Yesterday, the National Enquirer reported that Kim’s butt bags exploded last month, causing the “goop” to spill into her hips and necessitating special emergency repairs. But, ya know, it’s the Enquirer we’re talking about here, so all bets are off. It made us chuckle, though. Guess #2: Lasering her lady parts Also yesterday, a possibly tipsy Khloe Kardashian revealed that her sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian can’t stop blathering on about this vaginal laser technique that’s supposed to tighten up your junk after childbirth. Yeah, she really said that. This is the kind of thing I just might kill my sister over, but hey, it’s Khloe, and she likes to gab. Okay, we have one more guess – and that’s anything and everything. We wouldn’t be surprised if Kim sampled a little bit of it all, because she’s Kim. Her appearance is everything to her, and she’s been whining to the high heavens about her struggle to lose weight after giving birth in December. If she’s feeling this insecure about losing the one thing she’s famous for, we wouldn’t put it past her to pull out all the stops.
Wag your tongues, take off your clothing and light one up, viewers of The Voice. Miley Cyrus has given you a reason to celebrate. With the artist already headed to The Voice this Monday for the start of the Knockout Rounds and to begin her stint as Key Adviser , Miley has confirmed that she’ll have an even more permanent role on the series next season. Look out, red chairs. The star’s rear end is coming your way! “It’s true! I am going to be the newest judge on Season 11 of The Voice @NBCTheVoice #thevoice,” Cyrus wrote as a caption to the above image. It’s only a guess, but we think this means Gwen Stefani will not return for Season 11 because there’s typically just one female coach per season. We wonder how Blake Shelton feels about that. We also wonder just what sort of reception the controversial Cyrus will receive. How will she fit in with Shelton and Adam Levine? Alicia Keys, meanwhile, was also announced as a coach for Season 11, which is scheduled to begin filming in September. She’s crazy talented, but she isn’t semi-crazy in general like Cyrus is, so this announcement has received far less fanfare. What do you think of Miley Cyrus joining The Voice in a coaching capacity? Will she make you more or less likely to tune in? View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus’ Weirdest Instagram Photos
The Real Housewives of Orange County debuted on Bravo on March 21, 2006. Fast forward a decade and the feuds and fights that made the original series so popular have spread to Atlanta… Beverly Hills… New Jersey… and even Potomac. A full 10 years after the first edition in this wildly successful franchise made its premiere, what better way to celebrate than by taking a look back at the 10 wildest/craziest/wackiest moments in Real Housewives history? 1. A Trip to Scary Island On The Real Housewives of New York City Season 3, Kelly Bensimon suffered a a breakdown while on vacation at a Caribbean getaway. She went off on jelly beans… satchels of gold… Al Sharpton… and Gwyneth Paltrow, among other topics. It was amazing. 2. Who Gonna Check Me, Boo? On The Real Housewives of Atlanta, Season 2, Shereé Whitfield was planning a Queen of the Night part and delivered the most epic comeback of all-time after a party-planner expressed doubt that all the items Whitfield desired could be found: “Who gonna check me, boo?” 3. Wigged Out Well, wig OFF, to be precise. During a brawl on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2, Whitfield threw down with Kim Zolciack on the street… with NeNe Leakes trying to mediate. Michael Lohan even somehow showed up for it. 4. A Bad Fortune We go way back to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Season 1 for this one: remember the bizarre dinner party when hostess Camille Grammer invited her friend, a medium named Allison DuBois, to join the cast members? She proceeded to say someone there was going to die. 5. No Refills Here The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 4 gave us a look inside the crumbling marriage marriage between Vicki Gunvalson and Donn Gunvalson. It was highlighted by Vicki describing her “love tank” as “empty.” 6. Michaele Salahi is Not Smart We try to pretend as if The Real Housewives of D.C. never existed, either. But it’s worth noting the time Andy Cohen asked Michaele Salahi at the reunion whether or not she was ever a Washington Redskins cheerleader… and she kept claiming she didn’t know. View Slideshow

Is House Arrest A Fair Sentence For Cop Who Killed Unarmed Black Man? We ain’t feeling this at all… After a Brooklyn jury made a historic decision to convict a police officer in the killing of an unarmed black man , now a prosecutor is looking to let the former cop basically off the hook. According to NY Daily News reports : Jurors expressed shock and dismay Friday over Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson’s recommendation of a no-jail sentence for the ex-NYPD cop who killed Akai Gurley. “What was the point of prosecuting him?” asked a 62-year-old juror who requested anonymity. “What did we do this for?” “I agree he doesn’t deserve tremendous time,” the juror added, “but if something is wrong, you shouldn’t get a slap on the wrist.” Former Officer Peter Liang faces up to 15 years in prison after he was convicted of manslaughter in the November 2014 slaying of Gurley, 28. The unarmed father was mortally wounded when a bullet fired by Liang ricocheted into his chest inside a darkened stairwell at the Pink Houses in East New York. We get it that he didn’t intentionally kill Gurley, but that hasn’t stopped other people guilty of accidental shootings from serving time. In fact, the juror who spoke out had a relative convicted of a similar shooting: The 62-year-old juror noted that his own father served more than seven years in prison for accidentally shooting a friend. “You cannot put away the average person’s thoughts here just because they are police officers,” the juror said. “They deserve to be prosecuted and sentenced just like everyone else who has the same background or committed the same crime.” Thompson has been under attack from Gurley’s loved ones and supporters since he sent a letter to the sentencing judge recommending Liang perform 500 hours of community service, five years’ probation and home confinement for six months. The Brooklyn resident said he believes Thompson was swayed by pressure from the Asian community, which vigorously protested the charges brought against Liang. “I think the Asian community played a lot with the DA’s decision and got to him,” the juror said. What do you think? How much do you believe race played a factor in the DA’s decision? Facebook/AP
