Meri Brown Gives Fans Another Reason to Think She’s Done with Sister Wives

Yes, we’ve said this before . No, we don’t have any hard evidence to go on. But maybe, just maybe, Meri Brown is close to leaving Sister Wives — both the reality show and the entire polygamous situation — behind. The veteran TLC personality has given observers a brand new reason to think this could be the case. Over a year ago, Kody Brown dragged his supposed loved ones from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona. The family’s situation has sort of been a confusing mess ever since, considering no real construction is underway on the gigantic piece of property Kody purchased for his compound last year. But now some things are starting to come into focus in regard to which of the Sister Wives are really settled in for the long haul. Robyn, for example, has purchased a huge mansion with Kody . She isn’t going anywhere, that’s for certain. Christine, it should be noted, has also bought a home. Here’s the thing, though: Meri has not. The home Meri was renting in Flagstaff since August 29, 2018 was put on the market on July 1 of this year, forcing her to find a new (temporary) residence. According to online records, obtained by Radar Online, she is now renting a new home in Flagstaff. It’s a four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home for $4,500 per month and, look, it may be a gorgeous place to live — but it also must be taken as a sign. If Meri were committed to putting down roots in Arizona, would she really be renting? Especially as her fellow Sister Wives all buy? We aren’t speculating in a vacuum here, either. Meri has given folks plenty of reasons to think she’s questioning her life choices… and we’re not even talking about her catfishing scandal from 2016, when she tried to date outside her spiritual marriage and ended up getting duped online. No. We’re talking about many of the cryptic social media posts Meri has shared over the past several weeks, going back to June when she clearly shaded her Sister Wives . “I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them,” she wrote at the time, adding: “In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness.” Doesn’t sound like someone in an ideal relationship, does it? About two months later, Brown took on her haters — whether they be Robyn or Christine or Janelle… or random trolls on the Internet. “The fact of the matter is, I’m living MY life for ME, and I’m happy with it. I’m confident in my choices. I’m happy with what I’m doing,” Brown stated on Instagram in late August, concluding: “And that’s all that matters.” Do these posts automatically mean Meri is about to ditch Kody and company? Of course not. But it’s been evident for years now, really, that she’s either unhappy or simply searching for something in life that she can’t quite place or explain in detail. We really hope Meri finds it. View Slideshow: Meri and Kody Brown: Is This Really It for the Sister Wives Couple?

Sulli, 25-Year Old K-Pop Singer, Dead of Apparent Suicide

Sulli, a K-Pop singer best known for having been part of the band f(x), was found dead in her home on Monday afternoon near Seoul. She was 25 years old. According to multiple outlets, Sulli’s manager found the artist’s body and immediately called the police upon doing so. Details are still coming in regarding how this tragedy transpired, but early indications are that Sulli took her own life. This same aforementioned manager told authorities that his client suffered from depression. “So far, it seems she killed herself, but we will leave all possibilities open and investigate,” a police official said in a statement. The singer — whose real name is Choi Jin-ri —  was discovered on the second floor of her house in Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, south of the capital city, Seoul. No foul play is suspected and we’ve heard that a suicide note was found on the scene, but police have not yet divulged its content. Sulli’s agency, SM Entertainment, referred  to the news as “very hard to believe and sorrowful” in a statement to the Associated Press. Sulli started her career in the entertainment industry as a child actress… prior to starting her singing career in 2009 as one of the four members of the K-pop girl group f(x). She left the band in 2015 to return to acting, yet eventually continued releasing music as a solo artist. Her most recent song, “Goblin,” came out this past June. Sulli had the lead role in 2017 film “Real” and in “Pirates.” She recently shot the television series “Hotel Del Luna” for tvN, and was attached to “Persona” for Netflix. She had over five million followers on Instagram — and she spoke openly in 2014 and 2015 about suffering at the end of social media trolls and bullies for several months. Most notably, she came under fire years ago for dating an older rapper and then, in 2016, for performing on stage without a bra. “Even close people left me,” she said back then. “I was hurt by them and felt there was nobody who understands me, which made me fall apart.” She also said this one time: “My life is actually empty, so I feel like I’m lying to everyone by pretending to be happy on the outside. “I asked around a lot for advice. They told me, ‘Everyone has a dark side in their lives but they live pretending that they don’t. Don’t think of it as weird.'” Korean pop music — or K-pop — is one of the country’s biggest exports in the past decade. But the field has clearly taken its toll on many of its main participants. Sulli, for example, was good friends with K-pop star Jonghyun, who took his own life in 2017 at the age of 27. In May 2019, singer and actress Goo Hara — formerly part of girl band Kara — apologized to fans after being found unconscious at home after posting the word “Goodbye” on her Instagram page. We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Sulli. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: 34 Musicians Who Died Too Young

Angelina Pivarnick Sends Weird, Lingerie-Themed Message In Wake of JWoww Relationship Drama

Angelina Pivarnick has issued a very confusing statement in response to a very awkward situation. And it involves the reality star donning some black lingerie. Allow us to explain… This past Thursday night, MTV aired an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that featured Jenni Farley’s boyfriend of a few months, Zack Clayton Carpinello, peppering Angelina with questions about her sex life. It was weird. Then, a short while later on this same episode, Farley passed out while the group was dancing at a nightclub… only for Carpinello to then get caught on camera groping Angelina’s rear end . This was beyond weird. It was downright uncalled for an inappropriate. Consider this screen shot from the incident: Farley, of course, missed the copped feel because she was in a blacked-out, drunken stupor. But she then watched the episode along with dozens of viewers around the country and was appalled by what she witnessed — to the point that she wrote the following on Instagram: “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt. I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me.” She then made it clear that she had dumped Zack, concluding: For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this. For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels. One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards. Since then,  Carpinello has also spoken out , addressing his shortcomings and saying he’s sorry for his insensitive actions. “I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for,” Zack wrote in a statement on his Instagram over the weekend, adding: “Jenni does not deserve any damage from anybody else. This is on me. I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well… “I love Jenni, with everything I have, I make this known to be every day. I will continue to do everything to make this known to her and her kids, who also have my heart. “I will make it certain that nothing like this ever happen again, in any way regardless of outcome.” Pretty solid statement, all things considered. So this all brings us back to Angelina. Having been caught in the middle of this unfortunate drama, the engaged Jersey Shore cast member felt a need to make her own stance known on everything. And she’s done so by sharing the picture below and quoting actress Audrey Hepburn in her affiliated caption, which reads: I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.. I believe tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. Well… okay then! We guess! These Jersey Shore episodes were filmed way back in the spring, remember. So while all the Zack-JWoww-Angelina dirt is being discussed online, there’s plenty more to play out on the small screen in the coming weeks. Such as what? Only an all-out war between these co-stars and occasional friends. See what we mean here: Jersey Shore Trailer Teases “All-Out War” Between Jenni and Angelina

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Takes Daughter to Disneyland, Manages Not to Get Arrested

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has been mired in a mistable relationship for about a year and a half now. Which makes the following update on the Jersey Shore star’s situation all the more ironic: He just took his daughter to The Happiest Place on Earth. A day after an order of protection against the troubled MTV personality was lifted, Ronnie took little Ariana to Disneyland, an insider has confirmed to Us Weekly and other outlets. In fact, the 33-year old himself shared a video to his Instagram Story on yesterday that showed him kissing his 18-month-old child as they goofed around together, poking their tongues out on a ride. You know what they say, right? It’s all fun and games until someone holds a knife to someone’s girlfriend and then gets arrested for kidnapping someone’s daughter . This is what Ronnie stands accused of doing. Early on the morning of October 4, Ronnie got into an altercation with violent girlfriend Jen Harley. According to the official police report, Harley grabbed Ariana and ran out of the home the couple had been renting in Los Angeles. However, Harley alleges, Ronnie chased after her… threatened her with a knife… picked up Ariana and took her back inside the residence. The police were then forced to break down the front door after Ronnie refused to open it — and were then forced to taze the Jersey Shore cast member due to his out of control behavior. YIKES, right? In a statement following the alleged incident, the reality star’s attorney, Scott E. Leemon, said the following: “The reporting of the alleged incident relating to Ronnie Magro yesterday is based upon pure speculation and innuendo. “We are currently conducting our own investigation and will have no further comment until that has been concluded.” Still, authorities granted Harley an order of protection against Ronnie. He wasn’t allowed near Jen or Ariana until a hearing this past Friday, at which time the order expired and was not renewed. For his part, Ronnie claims Jen was the one who was wasted and that he feared she might harm their daughter. He says that he was simply acting like a protective father by stealing Ariana away from her mom on the night in question. Neither Harley nor Magro has directly commented on the confrontation. But both have now been arrested in conjunction with alleged violence against the other, with Jen having dragged Ronnie down the street by her car last summer and then hurled an ashtray at his head this past New Year’s Eve. They seem to bring out the worst in each othere. Incredibly, this most recent incident came just hours after the pair — who have had a very tumultuous relationship since they started dating in 2017 — attended the launch party for his Verge CBD line in West Hollywood. “Honestly, even though everyone thinks we’re toxic, she really does balance me out,” he said at the time… which, again, was hours prior to his arrest. Added Ronnie at this time: “She really does keep me level because with her I have her and the baby, which is a family, which is what I want at the end of the day.” Thankfully, the couple has since broken up. We’ll see how long that lasts. View Slideshow: Jen Harley: Ronnie Threatened to Flat-Out MURDER Me!

Not So Fast: NYPD Demands Rolling Loud Pull Several Artist Off Lineup Ahead Of Weekend Festival

Source: StarterCAM / HotSpotAtl.com NYPD Demands Rolling Loud Pull Several Artist Off Lineup Ahead Of Weekend Festival Since it came onto the scene, Rolling Loud has quickly taken over as hip-hop’s premier festival. Headliners have ranged from Travis Scott and J Cole to Cardi B, Kid Cudi and Future . After having success in Miami, the Bay Area, and Los Angeles, the Rolling Loud crew decided to expand its festival to New York City. The new addition was announced at the top of the year and its line up was released a few months back. View this post on Instagram #NYC Police Banned #Casanova2x #22gz #DonQ And A Few Other NYC Artist From #RollingLoud… A post shared by Hip Hops Tv (@hiphopstv) on Oct 11, 2019 at 10:10pm PDT Fast forward to this weekend, the first annual New York City Rolling Loud stage is set–but the NYPD says not so fast. In a letter sent to Rolling Loud, Assistant Police Chief Martin Morales requested the festival pull several of their performers due to safety issues. The list of required removals includes NYC’s rookie of the year PopSmoke, Casanova , Sheff G, Don Q, and 22GZ. They even included their government names so there isn’t any confusion as to who needs to leave. Over the years, NYC has been notorious for having what the music industry calls the “Hip-Hop Police,” a dedicated unit that just watches rappers and their social media to harass them once they touch down in the Big Apple. This weekend, the reason for the demands from the police department are cited as a concern for safety, as the acts listed reportedly have a “history of violence”. Many cite the hip-hop police for Meek Mill’s former incident and arrest, which went down when he was driving a dirt bike in the city. After successfully taking down the Nine Trey Bloods, we wouldn’t put it past the NYPD to go for its victory lap over at Rolling Loud. Stay safe folks!
