So it’s definitely an accomplishment if you can slow it down for a soulful R&B swing. This is exactly what musician Christopher Moten did and with great success! Check out his version of “Countdown” below, worthy of a late night drink and good conversation: Beautiful.

Ever since Briana DeJesus joined the cast of Teen Mom 2, her storyline has been more about relationships than actually being a mom. Last season, we saw her dealing with Luis Miguel, a guy who impregnated her after a hookup. They tried to give dating a go, but it didn't work out, and things got so messy between them that at one point Briana was even contemplating placing their child for adoption . We also saw her struggle to coparent with Devoin Austin, the father of her older daughter, Nova. He wanted to spend more time with Nova, but Briana didn't feel comfortable with it, and then Briana's mother, Roxanne, climbed on a table in a restaurant to berate him. It was a lot to take in, to say the least. This season, Luis seems to be nearly completely out of the picture, and Devoin hasn't been able to step up , either. Or at least, that seems to be the case — the vast, vast majority of Briana's story this season has been her relationship with Javi Marroquin and her feud with Kailyn Lowry . The point of all this is to say that unlike some of the other moms, Briana's children haven't really been a focus on the show, not really. Until now, that is. In this heartbreaking sneak peek for tonight's new episode, Briana's finished her maternity leave and is back at her day job, so her sister and her mother are home caring for her children. Brittany tends to baby Stella while Roxanne sits down with Nova to do some schoolwork, and she decides to have a conversation about their home life, too. “Hey, let me ask you something,” she says. “You excited about your mom going back to work?” Nova nods, but when Roxanne asks her if she'll miss her, she says no. And when she asks her why, she says “Because she doesn't like taking care of me, she likes taking care of Stella.” “You think she likes to take care of Stella?” Roxanne asks. “But wait wait wait wait wait, you know why she takes care of Stella, right?” Nova says that she knows Stella is a baby, and Roxanne tells her that she still takes care of her anyway, and so does Grandma and Ti Ti. “But Ti Ti doesn't because she's too lazy,” Nova whispers as Brittany drinks some juice in the background. “A little bit,” she acknowledges, “but I take care of you, right? So you have a lot of us taking care of you.” Unfortunately, Nova doesn't seem too convinced. Obviously, this is totally normal — Briana's not doing anything wrong here. Nova is feeling a little jealous of her baby sister, but Briana has to give her a different kind of attention, and good on her for not quitting her job even though she's back on MTV. Still, this is really sad to see. Nova is so sweet, so to see her hurting is tough. Hopefully when we see the full episode, Briana will help to make her feel a little better with all the changes going on in their family. In the meantime, let poor little Nova break your heart, too, by watching the clip below:
In the OC, the line between love and hate, between loyalty and betrayal, completely disappears. So teases the following trailer for the longest-running franchise on Bravo, as The Real Housewives of Orange County gets set to kick off Season 13 in just about a month. Loyal fans of the series, of course, are aware that Meghan Edmonds and Lydia McLaughlin have left the program; either of their own volition or because they were fired, depending on who you ask. In their place, executives have cast Gina Kirschenheiter and Emily Simpson, both of whom you can meet in the following photo then, of course, in the following trailer. As for the women we've gotten to know and sort of love over the past few years? On upcoming episodes, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador will be working together to attempt and rebuild their friendship. SPOILER ALERT, however: it will not be easy. Adding intrigue and drama to the situation will be the fact that Kelly Dodd and Beador are both single and figuring out how to live life post-divorce. (“You know why divorce is expensive?” one Housewife says at one point. “Because it's worth it.”) Vicki will be hoping and praying that her boyfriend, Steve Lodge, will finally commit to her full-time, while Tamra will be concerned about her husband's health. Many tears will be shed. Many voices will be raised. Many lame saying will be uttered and many women will fall flat on their faces, apparently. As for the new faces? Simpson is an Ohio native who works her way up to be a lawyer and party planner. She has three kids of her own under the age of five, along with a pair of stepdaughters from her husband Shane’s previous marriage. So she has A LOT on her plate and isn't sure what to do with her life next. Kirschenheiter is from Long Island and is somehow ALSO a mother of three kids under five. She “keeps her expectations low and her patience high,” Bravo explained in the press release, as her husband works in Los Angeles during the week, often leaving her on her own with the kid. Where will all of this lead? There's just one way to start to find out. Check out the trailer below in anticipation of the show's July 16 return.
Of all of the controversial 90 Day Fiance couples, is there any pair that fans love to hate more than Danielle Mullins and Mohamed Jbali? These two are very firmly exes, now. It’s probably safe to say that they hate each other. But Danielle says that Mohamed really did love her, once upon a time. In fact, she’s showing “proof” of his love to her fans. Recently, 90 Day Fiance fans have wanted to know if Anfisa Nava is pregnant . They’ve also wanted to know if Paola Mayfield is expecting a baby with Russ. But Danielle is getting people’s attention for a very different reason. See, while Mohamed moved to Texas last year and Danielle decided to sue him for withholding sex , they weren’t always enemies. Many fans have long believed that Mohamed was just using Danielle to get a Green Card so that he could start a new life in the United States. But Danielle believes that she can prove that he loved her — and she’s showing that to her followers. Mohamed certainly appears to be affectionate in these texts. “Thank you my love.” He clearly said that he wanted to be with her. “I love you so much and I am missing you.” It sounds like he was getting impatient. “I am trying to be positive to help my self waiting.” Danielle was already a mother, but he repeatedly makes it clear that this is not a problem for him. “I want to be with a wife and kids.” He said that he was looking forward to his new reality after he moved to the United States and married Danielle. “My life will be much better with you and kids.” His texts reveal that he was looking forward to joining her family. “I can’t wait to start my life with girls.” Again, it sounds like he was really anticipating his new life. “Every day I am thinking of you and them.” Taking Mohamed’s words at face value, he was very excited to be with Danielle. “And I am imagining how will be my life you all.” That comes across a little garbled (English is not his first language, but that means that he speaks two languages — so don’t make fun of him for a few awkward texts). “Every day I am upset [because] of that.” Anticipation can be difficult. They talk about missing what would have been their wedding date. “I know that my love. I am tired of waiting.” Mohamed talks like he was feeling thoroughly over the wait. “I wanna be with my wife and her kids.” So, Danielle is definitely showing evidence that Mohamed told her that he loved her again and again. That is nott he same thing as proof that he actually loved her. No one really thinks that he treated her like a jerk while he was still in Tunis, Tunisia. The assumption has been that he sweet-talked Danielle and feigned interest in her until they could get married. Scoring a little extra cash thanks to a reality show appearance was just a bonus. According to this theory, Mohamed was always planning on leaving Danielle as soon as he felt that it was safe. It sounds like Danielle believes that he really did love her and meant what he was saying in all of these texts. Which would mean that she may really think that it was her alleged body odor that drove him away, or that he changed. No one is claiming that Mohamed or Danielle is a good person, but … their whole story is just so sad. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance Couples: Who’s Still Together?
Several months ago, Teen Mom OG viewers started getting excited about reports that Maci Bookout shot an episode Naked and Afraid . But until Sunday night, we knew very little about Maci's experience on the show. Now, information is beginning to trickle in, and fans are more hyped than ever. We still don't where in the world Maci will be battling the elements, but we do know who she's partnered up with and — most importantly — when her episode will air. Check out the gallery below for the all the information on Maci's foray into the wilderness, as well as two exciting sneak peeks of her appearance on reality TV's most unforgiving series: 1. No Half Measures As we learned on the preview that aired during Sunday night’s Naked and Afraid: XL, Maci won’t be coddled just because of her celebity status. She totally stripped down, just like the show’s previous contestants, and you can expect she’ll be pushed to the point of severe dehydration, exhaustion and disease, like everyone else. Sounds awesome!! 2. Total Badass In Maci’s introductory clip, the mother of three describes herself as a badass – perhaps not what you’d expect given her MTV star pedigree. But, as Teen Mom OG fans know, she is no shrinking violet. Badass is a title she earned well before she embarked on her latest wilderness adventure. 3. First Look Last week, Maci took to Instagram to give several million of her closest fans their first glimpse of her episode. The show lives up to its title, clearly, and we’re just getting started. 4. Eeek, Indeed “Eeek! Everyone has been asking about my episode of Naked and Afraid,” Maci captioned the picture, and for good reason. What she’s going through is clearly one of the craziest ordeals in the world of reality TV. 5. Sneak Peek Tease “Watch the sneak peek inside the new episode of Naked and Afraid XL: All Stars this Sunday night at 10 p.m. on @discoverychannel,” Bookout added, and with obligatory anticipation, we have done just that. 6. It’s Finally Here Sunday night, the Discovery Channel dropped not one, but two preview clips from Maci’s episode. And so far fans are loving what they see … (we’re not just talking about her naked body, but that is most definitely on display). View Slideshow
Last week, the food world lost a true icon when Anthony Bourdain was found dead of an apparent suicide in a hotel room in France. He was 61 years old. Days later, details about the events surrounding Bourdain’s death are slowly beginning to trickle in, but the question of what could have driven one of the most widely-envied men on the planet to take his own life remains unanswered. Fans and media outlets were quick to point out some unusual social media activity from Bourdain’s longtime girlfriend, Asia Argento, in the hours before the news of his passing became public knowledge. An image in which the actress is seen wearing a shirt that reads “F-ck Off,” coupled with photos of Argento apparently vacationing with a male friend in France prompted a widespread theory that Bourdain was distraught over relationship problems. In the final months of his life, Bourdain was an outspoken advocate of the #MeToo movement, and his activism brought him close to some of the most high-profile victims of sexual harassment in Hollywood, including the actress Rose McGowan. Bourdain and McGowan quickly became close friends, and today, she published an open letter in which she addresses both his death and the rumors about his alleged relationship troubles. “Sitting across from me is the remarkable human and brave survivor, Asia Argento, who has been through more than most could stand, and yet stand she does,” the letter reads. “She stood up to her monster rapist and now she has to stand up to yet another monster, suicide. The suicide of her beloved lover and ally, Anthony Bourdain.” McGowan goes on to claim that Bourdain and Argento were in an open relationship, and she implies he would not have been upset by the sight of Argento with another man: “Anthony and Asia had a free relationship, they loved without borders of traditional relationships, and they established the parameters of their relationship early on,” McGowan states. “Asia is a free bird, and so was Anthony. Was. Such a terrible word to write,” she adds. “I’ve heard from many that the past two years they were together were some of his happiest and that should give us all solace.” She later states: “It is in no way fair or acceptable to blame her or anyone else, not even Anthony.” McGowan says she’s angry about her friend’s death, but she also pleads for sympathy from those who feel that he took his own life out of selfishness or a lack of concern for his loved ones. Shortly after learning of Bourdain’s death, Argento addressed the matter on Instagram, writing: “His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds. He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated. My thoughts are with his family. I would ask that you respect their privacy and mine.” We’ll have further details on this developing story as more information becomes available.

This Black Panther Prosthetic Leg Is Really One-Of-A-Kind When North Carolina -based tattoo artist Milton Purnell was asked to makeover a young boy’s prosthetic leg, he took some inspiration from Black Panther .

Everyone in the room is in awe over the boy’s excitement, and you’ll gush over how endearing his reaction is to his personalized new piece of hardware.
Source: NurPhoto / Getty Instagram just released a new update. NO, it’s not in regards to making your timeline chronological again, but it is something users have been asking for. Well sort of. Instagram @mention sharing which will now allow users to re-share Instastories but there is a catch though, you have to be tagged in the post. This marks the first time Instagram has publicly announced they have been considering the feature. They did test a regram button, but this version of re-sharing in this limited capacity is as close to a regram button users will get for now. Here is how the new feature will work as broken down Instagram on its blog : “When someone mentions you in their story, you receive a notification in your Direct message thread with that person — now, you’ll see an option to add that content to your own story. Tap it to see that story as a sticker – you can scale, rotate and position it and add creative tools like text or stickers on to it as well. When your followers see your story, the original poster’s username will appear and will be tappable, so people can explore your friend’s profile as well. Only public accounts can have their stories shared.” Source: Instagram / Instagram The latest update comes on the heels of reports of Instagram entertaining the idea of hour-long videos and adding a mute feature . This news though is more welcoming because it’s a feature that was honestly wanted. We still are waiting for the company to announce they plan on making our timelines great again by fixing the algorithm. We thought we were heading in that direction back in March when they announced “Newer Posts” will show in your feed more often. The @mention sharing update is officially live on both iOS and Android versions of the Instagram app. — Photo: NurPhoto / Getty/Instagram
