Luis Mendez Fires Back at Ex Molly Hopkins: She Used Me, Too!!

Luis Mendez’s 90 Day Fiance marriage may not have worked out, but the dude has remarried just months after his divorce. His ex Molly Hopkins says this is proof that he was just using her . Now, Luis is hitting back — saying that she was using him, too. Speaking to Us Weekly , Luis Mendez fired back after his ex-wife claimed that he was just using her to get tot he United States. “You know something?” Luis begins his statement. You can tell from his phrasing that he is feeling a little hot under the collar about the accusation. He says that it was Molly who was using him. “[Molly] only took me here to get fame for her business,” Luis claims. Molly has a lingerie business and has eagerly promoted it on social media during her time on 90 Day Fiance . Luis claims that their marriage was never about him. “She never wanted to give me the opportunity to get my papers,” Luis accuses. Luis then repeats himself for emphasis: “Never.” Interestingly, that is not the same thing as a denial that he just wanted to come to America. Luis Mendez remarried in September, and made headlines this month when the world learned of it. He has not revealed the name of his new bride, but has gushed about how in love he is with her. His divorce from Molly was finalized on May 4 of this year. Some may find it suspicious that he did not immediately defend himself by saying that he married Molly because he was “in love.” Keep in mind that English is a second language for him, and also that his romance with Molly ended very poorly. It’s understandable that feelings that she tried to sabotage his status in America would come to mind. Molly spoke out about Luis’ marriage just one day earlier. “I feel it clearly shows he was possibly using me and my finances to get here,” Molly accused. She feels that this is obvious “because our divorce was final in May.” “So he either already knew [his new wife] and had a plan all along and I’m a fool,” Molly suspects. “Or we are both fools if she doesn’t know him,” Molly said. Molly concluded: “Because I met Jeykll in the Dominican [Republic] and got Hyde here, or vice versa. Either way, may it work out because I’m glad he’s gone.” (As we said at the time, Hyde is always the bad one) (Yes, this is an actual photo that Luis and Molly took during their relationship) It may be that Molly and Luis had true feelings for each other, once upon a time. Then, when it didn’t work out, those feelings of affection turned to resentment and bitterness. It is also possible that they were both using each other from the start. Molly got a hot, younger husband and a measure of reality television fame to promote her business. And Luis, well, he got to come to America. It’s difficult to tell what went into their marriage to begin with. Through the fog of anger that led to their divorce, it’s possible that even Molly and Luis themselves are no longer sure of how they used to feel. It does seem safe to say that they’re both happy to be out of this toxic relationship. Maybe Luis’ new marriage will work out better than his old one.

Joy-Anna Duggar: Pregnant Again ALREADY?!

Say what you will about the Duggars, when those folks set their mind to a task, they tend to see it through. Of course, if you have the misfortune to be born a female Duggar, the only tasks you’re allowed to participate in are getting knocked up and praising Jesus. Joy-Anna Duggar welcomed her first child , a boy named Gideon, back in February. But fans are convinced the 20-year-old is already expecting a second bundle of joy. As is always the case with this sort of thing, the speculation is based on very scant evidence. In fact, as far as we can tell, a bunch of people jumped to this conclusion with nothing more than Joy’s latest Instagram pics to prompt them: “I see a pregnancy announcement soon!! I have a feeling!” commented one follower “Me too I see a baby bump,” remarked another. Needless to say, it’s a lot of speculation based on very little proof. It’s possible that Joy is engaging in some visual obstruction — but it seems far more likely that she’s simply holding a baby. But some fans offered a different explanation for why Joy might be attempting to conceal her midsection. “It takes a lot more than 6 months to lose baby weight,” one fan remarked. “She had a huge baby bump because she had a 10 pound baby.” Yes, little Gideon entered the world at a full 10 pounds. The little fella captured the coveted title of the biggest Duggar baby to date . And we probably don’t need to tell you he’s had a lot of competition for that title. Being the number one anything in a group that size is impressive. And the Duggars are not the type to hire nannies, so it’s not as though the new mom has had a ton of time to work out in recent months. Joy has yet to respond to the rumors that she’s expecting, and this is one of those situations where fans are taking her silence as a tacit confirmation. What seems more likely, however, is that she simply doesn’t take the time to respond to every single rumor about the state of her uterus. After all, Duggar pregnancy rumors are like Trump tweets. They pop up on social media every day, and at a certain point, you just have to ignore them. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Gives Birth to BIGGEST Duggar Baby After Traumatizing Labor

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez: Engaged?!

For ages, fans have longed to know if a  Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez wedding is on the way . They’ve been official for more than a year and a half. Now, fans believe that they’ve spotted J Lo sporting a massive diamind ring. Take a look, below: The ring made its debut on Alex Rodriguez’s Instagram in a video set in the stands of a baseball stadium. “Alright, here we are at Fenway,” Alex says. “After four and a half… two to one, Dodgers!” he says. Then he asks: “Jennifer, what’s the sign?” She gestures, as you’re about to see, as if making a ruling on the game. “Alright, there you have it,” he says. “Looks like a hit and run, back to you, Joe!” Fans and followers were less interested in his pretend sports commentary than they were in that whopper of a diamond ring. “Yoooooo did somebody get their ring?!” asked a fan. That fan continued: “Forget the finals, tell me this is real!” “That’s a big rock for Jenny from the block!” quipped another commenter. “What is that bling @jlo,” another asked. “Are you love birds engaged?” After more than a year and a half of  officially  dating, it would not be a surprise. Now, some folks very wisely pointed out that this may have been bait or that these hopeful fans may have been jumping the gun. After all, the ring appears to be on J Lo’s right hand — not, traditionally speaking, where one wears a ring. But some very observant followers noticed that, in comparison to other phtoos, she and Alex’s positions seemed to be reversed. In other words, that the video was mirrored. “She’s actually on opposite side,” a commenter writes. “Watch her video, it’s on her left and she’s sitting to the right of him.” If that comment is correct, she’s wearing a huge diamond ring on her left ring finger. A pal of Alex made a very blunt comment. The comment reads: “The sign I see is engagement!” Those words were followed by three diamond emojis. Curiously, Alex chose to respond. “Hi Kimberly!” he wrote back. “Miss you guys!” He followed his words with a thumbs up emoji. Out of everything, Alex’s comment-without-commenting seems like the strongest indicator. Sometimes, celebrities leak their own news in a way that gives them plausible deniability about it. They drop hints and build up hype before they’re ready to make things official. In the mean time, sometimes celebrities play pranks on their fans when those fans are hoping for something.  It’s weird, we know. Finally, sometimes people don’t even think about their jewelry or what it might signify. Yes, even public figures. These two didn’t go public until March of 2017, but were believed to be dating before that. It may be that they have now taken the next step and are simply engaged in plain sight. No matter what fans may hope to hear, it is perfectly alright for them to simply enjoy their time as a couple. Sometimes, you want to try things out before you make a big announcement. Just to be sure. View Slideshow: 23 Celebrity Engagement Rings That Will Leave You Temporarily Blind

Grey’s Anatomy Recap: Who Returned?

Thursday’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy featured Teddy coming out of hiding, Jackson’s return, medical mysteries, and all the relationship drama we’ve come to expect from this soapy ABC drama.  If you watch Grey’s Anatomy online , you know that Teddy has been in hiding ever since she told Maggie about her pregnancy on Grey’s Anatomy Season 15 Episode 1 .  With Meredith in the know thanks to Maggie’s loose lips, she aimed to help Teddy because she knew she was suffering because Owen and Amelia were back together.  In one of the series’ most comical openings to date, Meredith found Teddy at a park in a huge lie, and before we knew it, the pair were making cookies in Meredith’s kitchen.  Teddy admitted that she as initially prepared to tell Owen about her status as an expectant mother, but then she realized he was sleeping with the enemy.  The enemy in this instance is, of course, Amelia. But that was too much for Meredith to handle, so the surgeon asked her pal whether there was any way she and Owen could raise their child together amicably.  “I hate him so much, I wanna smash his face in!” Teddy yelled as she bashed some cookie dough.  But by the end of the installment, she admitted that she loved Owen and that she didn’t want to come between him and Amelia if they were in a good place.  Teddy felt like Owen would ditch Amelia in the name of being a stand-up guy, but Meredith refuted that, saying that he will do the right thing, whatever that means.  While Teddy was chatting through her issues with Meredith, Owen and Amelia were loitering outside Betty’s school to make sure she was not doing drugs or cutting classes.  It allowed them to chat about the past, and finally get on the same page as each other in terms of where they stand with each other.  It’s just a shame that will all fall apart when the baby bombshell drops.  Back at the hospital, Jackson returned with a patient from abroad to perform a complicated surgery, and he was desperately trying to win Maggie back.  But his girlfriend was less than enthused about it, and it took him saving a young boy’s life for her to realize she needs him in her life.  As for Jackson, the crisis of faith seemed to subside thanks to his brainwave that helped save the young boy’s life.  Was there really hope for this couple?  Meanwhile, Bailey and Jo tried to help a woman who wanted Meredith Grey to go through the process of elimination to find out what condition she had.  After giving up, the woman consumed a sandwich, and they realized the problem only occurred when she consumed food, so they cured her.  What are your thoughts on the latest installment? Hit the comments below.  Grey’s Anatomy continues Thursday on ABC.  View Slideshow: Grey’s Anatomy Spoilers: It’s About to Go DOWN in Season 15

Megyn Kelly is Out at NBC, Will Be Replaced by … Kelly Clarkson?!?!

This week, Megyn Kelly finally realized that blackface is not okay. NBC finally realized that Megyn Kelly isn’t okay , either. But who will replace her? A stunning report says that NBC has already approached Kelly Clarkson to take on the role. According to numerous reports, Megyn Kelly met with NBC higher ups on Friday morning to negotiate her departure from the network. RadarOnline reports that NBC is eyeing a familiar, less controversial face to replace her: Kelly Clarkson. According to an insider, executives “think it might be perfect time to give her Today time slot to Kelly [Clarkson].” The source explains that she is a star “who has a huge fan base and is extremely well-liked and relatable.” And as an added bonus, they’re both blonde women with Kelly in their names, so maybe some viewers won’t even notice. One of Megyn’s reported troubles at the network wasn’t about bad ratings or a flagrant, tone-deaf defense of racism. It’s been said that she just hasn’t been getting along with the other big names at the network or really fitting in. In contrast, an insider says, the NBC crew “love” Kelly Clarkson. Kelly already “is a huge part of the NBC family,” a source says, because of her role as a judge on The Voice . This could mean that everything, from contract negotiations to her interactions with colleagues, could go more smoothly. Whether you think this is a good idea or a step in the wrong direction, it sounds like things are already in motion. An insider shares that NBC has already “approached” Kelly Clarkson about taking on this new role. (We should note that it’s possible that this person is misinformed, because of another upcoming project of hers, but we’ll get to that) She, an insider notes, is “willing to take on any job thrown her way.” Hey, we’re all out getting this bread. The stars are the same. There’s an obvious perk of hiring Kelly Clarkson. “Kelly is the most non-biased person on the planet,” an insider points out. Or, at the very least, she’s a nice person, the source notes, “and does not have an ounce of racism in her.” It’s true that Kelly is not really the type of person to slam people or drag their names through the mud. Off of the top of our heads, the only person we can think of whom she’s ever spoken ill of is disgraced music producer Dr. Luke. And, honestly, who hasn’t spoken ill of that creep? We cannot confirm that NBC is looking at Kelly Clarkson for this role. For one thing, she’s … not a news anchor. She can clearly do more than sing, though. And The Kelly Clarkson Show is already a thing that begins airing on NBC next year. After this debacle, we imagine that NBC wants to let Kelly Clarkson do her own show before the give her one of the biggest platforms on network television. We’re sure that she’ll be an amazing host, but NBC will probably want the ratings to prove it before they boost her to Today , right? At the end of the day, despite her long and controversial history, Megyn Kelly isn’t really being given the boot over being racist. Her defense of blackface was the straw that broke the camel’s back at most. More like, it was just an excuse. She was the highest paid anchor on television, but her ratings didn’t reflect that at all. Many have taken to social media to point out that NBC is probably just seizing this opportunity to give her the boot because she’s bad at her job. In case you are, for some reason, feeling sorry for her, don’t. She’s already made a lot of money, she’ll probably get more when she leaves, and she’ll almost certainly get yet another chance at some other network.

The Voice Recap: Who Won The Final Battle?

The Battle Rounds came to a grinding halt Tuesday night, and while we witnessed three battles, a bunch were saved for the dreaded montage. With the Knockouts coming up and the season’s big twist set to switch things up, the show might actually remain exciting all season long.  Who would have thought it? Usually, the excitement fizzles out right before the live shows, but time will tell whether the producers messing with the formula will work.   Let’s break down the final three battles of the season! Team Kelly: Sarah Grace vs. Erika Zade – “No Roots” Sarah opened up about never having a vocal lesson before, so being in rehearsals was uncharted territory for her.  She was receptive to feedback, so that was a huge positive, but she didn’t feel like Alice Merton number would benefit her voice.  The same could be said for Erika. The true kicker here was that both women turned in solid performances, and it was difficult to pick between them.  Kelly went with Sarah, and nobody voted to steal Erika.  Team Blake: Kameron Marlowe vs. Kayley Hill – “Only Wanna Be With You” As this one kicked off, it seemed like Kameron was going to have the edge, but both performers were worthy of being kept in the battle for the recording contract.  There were no nerves here, just an excellent performance, and it’s sad that one of them had to go.  Kameron won this round, and Kayley was sent home.  Team Adam: DeAndre Nico vs. Funsho – “Can You Stand the Rain” The frustrating thing here was that both of the above performers were the worst of the night. There were no harmonies, and it made the overall performance rather weak.  Adam opted to stick it out with DeAndre while Blake decided to steal Funsho. It was a dumb move when you consider there were two much better singers sent home.  During the dreaded montage, we learned that Claire DeJean defeated Josh Davis to remain on Team Kelly, Kirk Jay beat Caeland Garner to stay on Team Blake, and Kennedy Holmes won over Lela to continue on with Team Jennifer.  Kennedy is probably the most popular artist in the show right now, so giving her the montage was a bizarre move.  What are your thoughts on the latest battles? Hit the comments below.  The Voice continues Monday on NBC. View Slideshow: The Voice Winners: RANKED!

Paris Jackson and Gabriel Glenn: Headed For the Altar (Without a Prenup)!

Paris Jackson has been through quite a lot in her young life. Of course, she’s also enjoyed privileges and opportunities that most folks can only dream of. We mention this not because we begrudge Paris her wealth and fame but because the latest news about the 20-year-old’s personal life has fans concerned that her personal fortune may be in danger. Paris has been dating drummer Gabriel Glenn for the past several months. The couple met when Gabriel was hired into Paris’ band, the Soundflowers. (Note: Several media outlets have mistakenly reported that Glenn was a member of the Wallflowers, which would make this story way weirder, as Paris was about a year away from being conceived when “One Headlight” came out.) According to Radar Online, Paris’ family is deeply concerned about her new relationship, primarily because Paris and Glenn are already talking marriage. “Paris told certain family members that she truly believes that Gabriel is the one and she wants to marry him,” a source close to the Jackson family says. “She and Gabriel have been going strong for several months and she feels a deep connection with him.” Most recently, Paris dated Cara Delevingne , and it seems her shift in preference has also been a cause of concern for certain influential family members. Sadly, Paris’ beloved grandmother has some outdated beliefs, and she’s expressed skepticism about Paris’ ability to make decisions regarding her own sexuality and love life. “The family is all very confused at this point,” the insider says. “One second, she is a lesbian and dating; the next second, she is straight and dating her bandmate.” But despite her apparent confusion, Katherine Jackson is less concerned with granddaughter’s sexuality than with her financial future — a future that she feels is in jeopardy due to Paris’ insistence on getting married without a prenup. “No one cares what she is everyone just wants to know that she is okay,” says the source. “Gabriel does not have the best reputation and some of her family members feel like he could be using her. “They just want her to be careful.” Sadly, Michael Jackson’s only daughter has been down this road before. Paris recently dated Michael Snoddy , who was also a musician, and whose flippant attitude has been compared to Glenn’s. That relationship ended badly, but Paris recovered rather quickly. As painful as that episode might have been, friends and family are reportedly hoping for a similar outcome with Glenn.

Jacob Roloff: Gushed Over, Praised by Fiancee Isabel Rock

Last month, Jacob Roloff and Isabel Rock announced their wedding date . Now, Isabel can’t help but gush about the former Little People, Big World star. Isabel is telling fans how supportive Jacob is — and revealing how he helps her with her art. “The man behind the resin pieces,” Isabel Rock gushed on social media alongside a glimpse of Jacob helping with her art. “I couldn’t have done it without his help,” she admits. Isabel explains: “If you are not familiar with resin, there are so many steps and tricks and measuring.” “And,” she continues. “You can’t mess any of it up or you’ll ruin the entire piece.” Isabel then announces: “Jacob always comes through!” Isabel wasn’t done praising the love of her life. “He really is the most helpful and supportive fiance,” she gushes. Her post ends: “I really love him so much!” Awww, they’re so cute. And he has been supportive of her in other ways that do not have to do with her art. Alongside this tender photo, Isabel recently gushed about how Jacob helped her self-image. “When I first saw this photo,” Isabel writes. “I was horrified at how chubby my cheeks looked.” “This beautiful picture, with all of its complexities that make it what it is,” she describes. “And of course,” Isabel laments. “I zeroed in on the most negative thing I could find.” “My cheeks are one of Jacob’s favorite things about me,” she reveals. Cute! “I’ve had them since birth,” Isabel says of her cheeks. “And apparently, they’re never going away.” She explains how Jacob’s feedback helped her to appreciate the image. “Now, with some perspective, I see this photograph as one I will cherish for life,” Isabel writes. “The way he is looking at me,” she admires. “That perfect Iowa sunset.” She mentions: “The fact that there were so many deer in a meadow behind us and our dogs were in that same meadow playing ball.” “Life is a lot like this,” Isabel notes. A huge part of being a celebrity who posts lowkey thinkpieces to Instagram is drawing larger life lessons from individual photos. “We tend to hone in on the negatives,” Isabel acknowledges. “It is the way we have trained our brains to work since the beginning.” “We focus on what we don’t like, what we don’t have, what we wish were different,” Isabel explains. Isabel continues: “Instead of looking at the whole picture and admiring it for all that it is.” “I’d like you to join me in training our minds to see things differently,” Isabel invites her followers. When looking at the world, she says, “we don’t have to see it negatively.” She suggests that they join her in “Practicing gratitude, daily affirmations, changing our thought patterns,” “All of these things,” Isabel says. “Can shift our perspective.” She is absolutely right. Sometimes, the key to changing the way that you think is just daily practice. Isabel points out that rejecting the natural instinct to focus on the negative can make people’s lives better. She suggests focusing on this “so that when something bad comes along we can still find the good in it.” “We can still find the light,” Isabel concludes. She then follows that post with a couple of tags. “#worldmentalhealthday,” she writes. “#ilovehimsomuch” Jacob has been publicly supportive of Isabel’s art, but it’s great to see that he gets involved in the process. His mother, Amy Roloff, has also shown her support by giving Isabel’s gallery showings a boost on social media. It is heartwarming to see that Jacob also lends emotional support to Isabel when it comes to loving herself. Heartwarming, but not surprising — they are, after all, engaged.

Exclusive: Jay Ellis Reveals Which Celebrity Friends He’d Trust To Get Him Out Of An “Escape Room”

Continue reading here:

Source: Sony / THE MRKT Jay Ellis is a busy busy man. Not only did he recently complete the third season of Insecure, he’s also got a few films in the works. The 36-year-old TV heartthrob is currently starring in the long awaited Top Gun sequel, “Top Gun: Maverick” and in 2019, we can expect to see him on the big screen in Escape Room . Escape Room tells the story of six strangers who find themselves in circumstances beyond their control and must use their wits to survive. What was initially a race to a huge cash prize turned into a desperate fight for their lives and according to Ellis, he loved every minute of shooting it. Escape Room will be the first time fans will get to see Ellis in an action film. According to the star, you’ll get to see him do martial arts, scale walls and so many other things we have not gotten to see him do on Insecure or The Game. (I mean, sex scenes are nice…really nice… but a fight scene? We can definitely dig that!) Source: Sony / THE MRKT Jay Ellis took a moment from his busy schedule to chat with Global Grind about the Escape Room film and who he’d choose to do an Escape Room with. He says that his very first escape room experience was after he got the role in this movie (which he shot last year so if you’re wondering, no his schedule did not interfere with Insecure ).  When asked about three celebrity friends he’d choose to help him master his escape room Jay Ellis chose: Idris Elba because he’s strong, chiseled and smart. These are all great things you’d want in someone you’re trusting your life with. John Legend is also very smart. They don’t call him the Legend for nothing. Niecy Nash will keep things fun and she’s very motivating. Motivation is key when trying to figure out puzzles and complete obstacles in an escape room. Niecy Nash is an amazing choice. When asked who he absolutely would not take on his Escape Room adventure, Jay Ellis says he’ll need to leave Neil Brown Jr. aka Chad from Insecure, at home. According to Jay, it’s much too risky. He and Neil are real live friends and they’d probably spend the entire time goofing off with each other to really get anything done. You gotta respect it. Escape Room hits theaters in January 4, 2019. Check out an exclusive trailer below!

Beard Or No Beard: Do You Prefer These Famous Men With Or Without A Beard?

See the original post here:

Source: Scott Halleran / Getty Just as makeup does for some women — beards have the ability to transform men into totally different people. Most women feel that the thicker and more groomed the facial hair, the more attractive and manly you are. However, there are some who feel that a clean face is the way to go.  At the end of the day, facial hair is a subjective thing, but are men with beards more desirable?   According to the New York Times : Barnaby Dixson, a human behavioral ecologist at the University of Queensland and a co-author of the beard length study, research has also found that facial hair is associated with some antisocial traits, such as aggression and social dominance. While these traits might not be pleasant if you’re looking for a fun fling, they might be alluring if you want an alpha male to support your family and fend off predators. It’s not just women who prefer bearded alpha males — men also prefer men with facial hair. Dr. Dixson and colleagues asked 1,577 men and women from Brazil and the Czech Republic about facial hair. Compared to heterosexual women, gay men had stronger preferences for men with more facial hair. Usually, we honor the beard-toters during No Shave November. But today is National No Beard Day, and guys often celebrate by shaving their beloved beard and starting from scratch.That made us think of some of our favorite beards in Hollywood and if we prefer the men with or without the facial hair?
