The Real Housewives of Atlanta is back for Season 11. Unfortunately, ratings at the season premiere are lower than they’ve been in several years. Meanwhile, former Housewife Kenya Moore welcomed her first child … and she can’t help but smile. If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online , you know that the show has been going on as before. Kandi and Porsha are struggling to approximate friendship after previously feuding. NeNe is grappling with Gregg’s cancer battle. But Kenya Moore is missing. She’s no longer on the show. In real life, however, she recently gave birth to a precious preemie baby, Brooklyn Doris Daly. And on Sunday, Kenya shared this precious photo for the world to see: Kenya hasn’t shown her adorable baby’s face yet, but a precious baby hand is more than enough to tide over her fans. Following being diagnosed with preeclampsia, which caused her feet to swell, Kenya was given a C-section . Kenya, though certainly not old by any reasonable metric, is considered “old” for pregnancy, so she always knew that there would be risks. Fortunately, it seems that the C-section was a success. Kenya is recovering, and was even feeling healthy enough to go on a Target run (in a motorized scooter, to be clear). And at 5 pounds and 12 ounces, baby Brooklyn was technically within the “normal” range for baby weights, if very close to the low end of the spectrum. But one person did not find Kenya’s sweet mother-daughter hand photo endearing in the least. “I can’t wit the calculations on Sunday’s,” NeNe Leakes wrote on Instagram. She tagged her vague post: “#thethirstisreal #weseeyou #wacks–t” The implication that NeNe seemed to be making was that Kenya timed her photo in a shady manner. Perhaps, for example, Kenya showed off her baby’s hand to distract fans from her former show. Or maybe she did it to remind Bravo of the kind of content that they’re missing out on since she’s no longer on the show. Whatever it is that NeNe believes that Kenya is up to … it’s unclear why NeNe felt the need to comment. Some might suspect that NeNe is feeling insecure because of what some tabloids have described as a “ratings crash.” The season premiere of The Real Housewives of Atlanta brought in 1.93 million viewers. That made it the lowest rated season opener since Season 5. That said, relatively low ratings for a premiere aren’t necessarily a huge crash. it’s not good news, but they had about the same number of viewers as recently as April 1 of 2018. Bravo may be concerned, but we can’t imagine that they’re panicking. That said, NeNe may be worried — because she’s the show’s highest paid star. That said, some people can’t help but connect the dots. Kenya’s firing was certainly the biggest change between last season and this season. Now, Kenya has everything she wanted — a loving husband and a precious newborn baby. In the mean time, The Real Housewives of Atlanta has taken a downward turn from being Bravo’s highest rated show. It may not have been Kenya’s choice to go overboard, but it’s looking like she may have jumped ship at a smart time. Or maybe people are less interested now that she’s off the show. Not every Real Housewives series is going to last or click with all viewers. But we don’t think that it’s time to start singing RHOA ‘s funeral dirge just yet. This season’s ratings may pick up. If not, there’s always next season. Probably Bravo would likely be reluctant to cancel, for a host of reasons. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 11: All the Secrets… EXPOSED!

Stan Lee, arguably the best known comic book creator of all-time, passed away Monday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. He was 95 years old. Lee’s daughter confirmed this very sad piece of news to TMZ. The website writes that Lee was rushed from his home in Hollywood Hills to the aforementioned facility, although it’s unclear at this time what medical condition prompted the emergency. The legendary writer, however, had suffered numerous illnesses over the last year or so, including a semi-recent bout of pneumonia and a number of vision issues. He had receded from the public eye for most of 2018 as a result. Lee started out in the comic business back in 1939. Along with Jack Kirby, he co-founded Marvel in 1961 via the introduction of The Fantastic Four. He went on to create Spider-Man, Black Panther, The Incredible Hulk, X-Men, Iron Man and The Avengers, among many other notable, memorable and beloved characters. Lee was always revered in the comic book universe, but he became a true pop culture icon about a decade ago after the success of the first Iron Man movie. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has basically taken over the movie world in that time and Lee has made a cameo in every Marvel film to date. In 2009, the Walt Disney Co. bought Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion. Three years later, The Avengers grossed $1.52 billion worldwide take and two years after that, Lee acknowledged his important role not just in the entertainment industry — but in the world as a whole. “I used to think what I did was not very important,” he told the Chicago Tribune in April of 2014, adding at the time: “People are building bridges and engaging in medical research, and here I was doing stories about fictional people who do extraordinary, crazy things and wear costumes. “But I suppose I have come to realize that entertainment is not easily dismissed.” A native of Manhattan, Lee wrote, art-directed and edited most of Marvel’s series and newspaper strips. He also wrote a monthly comics’ column, “Stan’s Soapbox,” signing off with his signature phrase, “Excelsior!” Lee played a vital role as Marvel transitioned into TV during the 1980s, serving as narrator on animated series like Incredible Hulk and X-Men: Pryde of the X-Men, and executive producing the 1990s animated series Spider-Man. In 2002, Lee published an autobiography, Excelsior! The Amazing Life of Stan Lee . Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse will be the next installment of the Marvel film franchise and will be released next month; it’s very safe to assume there will be a dedication to Lee in the credits. The writer’s survivors include a daughter, J.C., and younger brother, Larry Lieber, who works as a writer and artist for Marvel. Another daughter, Jan, died in infancy. Lee’s wife, Joan, was a hat model whom he married in 1947. She passed away last year. Said J.C. to TMZ shortly after confirming her dad’s death: “My father loved all of his fans. He was the greatest, most decent man.” May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
Ice Cube doesn't actually mention Donald Trump by name in his new song. But the track is called “Arrest The President.” And the lyrics are a not-so-subtle jab at Trump, and strongly suggest that his days in office are numbered. Ice Cube's lyrics, to be clear, do not call for any violence against Donald Trump or his administration. Rather, “Arrest The President” calls for exactly that — the arrest of POTUS. “Let’s meet at the White House, run in and turn the lights out, they treat it like a trap house,” Ice Cube suggests. “Arrest the president… You got the evidence,” he sings. He makes no secret of why Trump deserves to be arrested. “That n—- is Russian intelligence,” the lyrics accuse. “Did you know the new white was orange?” Ice Cube quips during the song. He then accuses: “Boy, you're showing your horns.” This is a reference to Trump's behavior, from his overt racism to his heartless policies, being something Ice Cube would expect from a devil. “Who you elected is so septic,” Ice Cube says, putting Trump's voters themselves on blast. He also takes aim at Trump's habit of stating provable lies as if they were fact. “So full of s–t,” Ice Cube says. “I can't accept it.” Ice Cube has made his thoughts on Trump clear since before the election. In August of 2017, an absurd rumor was going around suggesting that Ice Cube had endorsed Trump's candidacy. The rapper took to Twitter to make certain that no one could believe this absurd rumor. “I will never endorse a mothaf–ka like Donald Trump!” Ice Cube clarified. “EVER!!!” Some would remain silent on such rumors, hoping to avoid controversy by speaking out one way or the other. Ice Cube did not want anyone mistaking him for a Trump supporter. Ice Cube is hardly alone. When Snoop Dogg peppered his art with references to Trump's death , he faced backlash from Trump's fans. He also faced hand-wringing from people who dislike Trump but are, frankly, huge weenies who worry about optics more than anything else. ice Cube did not backstab Snoop, and instead voiced his support. “Freedom of speech,” he cited in defense of his friend and his friend's controversial music and imagery. Notably, Ice Cube's lyrics “play it safe” in a way unlikely to earn him a visit from Secret Service. Ice Cube may have produced this song simply to vent about the hellish nightmare-world that we all occupy. More cynically, perhaps he just wanted some cash and some good press from people who hate Trump as much as he does. It's also possible that he is hoping that this song will one day be immortalized in one or more films documenting the rise and fall of Donald Trump. You know, if Johnny Cash's “When The Man Comes Around” doesn't quite fit a scene, maybe “Arrest The President” will. It's sure to be a little on the nose — but there have been other, very spot-on songs that have been used years or even decades later in films about the events they describe. That said, Trump has not yet been arrested. Right now, Ice Cube's song is premature. That said, there are murmurings that Special Counsel Robert Mueller is expected to make some sort of move this week. This comes just days after Ice Cube's song dropped. That said, a lot of people let wishful thinking cloud their judgment. They may get their hopes up and then feel disappointed. It's always possible that Trump will resign, or pass away of natural causes in office, or even last the rest of his 4-year term. Ice Cube's song, though it may give hope to many, may never come true. We'll all find out together.
Miley Cyrus has penned an emotional post about the loss of something very close and personal: Her home. The singer alerted Instagram and Twitter followers last night that her house burned down in the massive wild fire that continues to consume significant areas of California. “Completely devestated [sic] by the fires affecting my community,” the singer Tweeted on Sunday, explaining in more detail: “I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.” It’s very safe to assume that Cyrus is referencing Liam Hemsworth when she writes the “LOVE OF MY LIFE.” “I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department!” she continued. From there, as you can see below, Miley encouraged followers to donate to organizations that are helping folks stay safe during this very dangerous time: “I love you more than ever , Miley,” the star concluded her post. OVer 250,000 residents of California have been evacuated as a result of this ongoing disaster. At last count, 31 people had died. Other celebrities who have lost their homes, been forced to flee or just commented on the tragedy in general include Alyssa Milano, Gerard Butler, Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga. Tweeted the A Star is Born actress: I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames. All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You. Kardashian, meanwhile, used the stage of Sunday’s People Choice Awards to speak on the devastation that has affected her , her siblings and so many others. “It’s been a really rough week in our home in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and for our neighbors in Thousand Oaks and Malibu,” Kim said, elaborating in emotional detail as follows: “Our hearts are broken from the horrific shootings and for those who have lost their lives and homes, as well as the hundreds of thousands of us that have been evacuated from the devastating fires that are currently burning.” Continued Kim: “As horrible as this has been, it’s been amazing to see the resilient spirit of everyone involved, and the heroism of those risking their lives on the front lines. “Action is necessary, so anything we can do to help, as simple as donating to the many organization that are collecting supplies, no form of help is too small. “Our country is stronger when we come together and we cannot face devastation alone. “We must continue to reach out and help each other during these trying times.” Amen, right? Over 200 people have been reporting missing as a result of these wild fires. Tragically, as winds continue to gust and the blazes continue to spread, there doesn’t appear to really be an end in sight. We wish nothing but the best to all those affected.
Cynthia Is 51 And Fine If you watched the first episode of the new season of Real Housewives Of Atlanta then you saw Eva clown Cynthia for no reason over the fact that Cynthia is…um…older. Cynthia is 51 years old. That’s true. But, sorry, Eva…Cynthia is fiiiiiine as all outdoors. She’s about to be married. She’s out in the world in her lingerie. Her body is tight. She’s still as gorgeous as ever and stacked as hell. Let’s get a refresher course and see why Cynthia is killing it at 51.
Here’s the Natural Disaster that is all over the news that is happening in Malibu….Ashley Graham in a bikini…. I am all for people doing whatever the fuck they want in life. If a fat chick wants to do erotic bikini shoots, so fucking be it, let her do it, but the fact that I have to see it unsolicited, when I am not looking for it, makes me see her for what she is…a sex offender. I am all for people scamming the system, because the system is dumb and easy to manipulate…you know her pretending to be some empowered fat chick in order to get paid like she was an actual model…because America is fat and likes it… I just don’t like being exposed to it unsolicited when I don’t want to see it…it’s a form of rape. That said, it’s hard to feel bad for rich people losing their houses..I do feel bad for all the animals dying in the fires…but the one animal who should have been burned up proper because of all her gristle…but maybe she’s more into being a tasteless fire photoshoot publicity stunt..than being a victim…since she’s empowered or some shit. Either way…gross. TO SEE THE REST OF THE PICS CLICK HERE JOIN THE NEWSLETTER YOU ASSHOLES! The post Ashley Graham Washed Up Bikini in Malibu of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .
(Photo by Stephane Cardinale – Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images) Camille Grammer, Gerald Butler & Robin Thicke’s Homes Burn Down A wildfire that continues to ravage the mountain s in the areas of Malibu and, Calabas and Aventura has destroyed the homes of several celebrities who are sharing the wreckage and empathy with neighbors on social media. Robin Thicke says his Malibu home has shares with girlfriend April Love burned down entirely, according to his representative. The singer said on Instagram that he, April and his two kids are “safe and surrounded by friends and family” and were thankful to firefighters. Actor Gerald Butler shared photos of what was left of his Malibu home, which was barely anything but the frame. “Returned to my house in Malibu after evacuating,” Gerard Butler wrote in an Instagram post next to a photo that showed a burned-out structure and a badly scorched vehicle. “Heartbreaking time across California. Inspired as ever by the courage, spirit and sacrifice of firefighters.” Camille Grammer Meyer of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” also lost her Malibu home on Saturday night, according to CBS Los Angeles. “Sadly my house couldn’t be saved,” Meyer, the ex-wife of actor Kelsey Grammer, wrote in an Instagram post that showed a huge house engulfed in flames. So sad. Celebs like Dame Dash, Torrei Hart and Jada Pinkett sent prayers to their neighbors after their homes were barely spared in the flames. Dame says “every house in the neighborhood burned but ours, sharing shots of the Malibu home.
Source: Prince Williams / Getty It’s Miami time on Real Housewives of Atlanta ! Porsha happens to be in Miami with her boo, Dennis, celebrating her birthday at the same time as NeNe, who’s there for work. Porsha makes sure the girls come down and surprise NeNe since she’s going through a rough time with regard to Gregg’s health. Porsha slips away from Dennis for a minute to kick it with the ladies, who have arrived by now. We’ve got Eva, Marlo, Cynthia and Kandi there. Gregg even joins NeNe in Miami. That latter part is a blessing in itself that he’s even able to be there, and he gives her space enough to kick it with her crew. NeNe is quite happy and surprised to see the girls and her show goes well. You know she was nervous because we all remember last year’s Uber fiasco. The girls get together for dinner after the show and have a nice kiki. Porsha even spills the deets on her romantic time with her boyfriend and for some reason (because Porsha is Porsha) shares that they’ve been sharing a toothbrush. She even asks them if any of them have shared a toothbrush with their significant other as if this is normal. Of course, none of them have. In other news, Kandi happens to have tea on Porsha’s man, but she decides to keep it to herself…kind of. Later on, she calls Todd, the only person she can really talk to, and explains that she knows a few different women who have dated Dennis. She kind of leaves of hanging by not really giving details but we know that it must be juicy because she says that Porsha should pace herself. Todd wisely tells Kandi to stay out of it and Kandi says she will (despite being on camera). We all know that love stories on this show are never straightforward, obvi. Overall, Miami goes really well. This group actually manages to get along and even Porsha and Marlo are back on good terms. This is major! Remember when Porsha and Marlo tried to kill each other in Spain over a dang rug? They’ve truly moved past it and even snuck away from the group to hang out solo and Marlo is the first one from this group to actually meet Dennis and she actually loves him. That’s a good sign but based on the trailer for next week’s episode, the overall drama will arrive. Shade abounds.
