The home is designed by Restoration Hardware with a nice view of the Hudson River. It goes without saying that Kerry isn’t your average tour guide as she rocks Prada, Dior, and Manolo Blahnik.

Forget the Donald Trump haters and critics for a moment. They’ll be making their voices heard plenty between now and November 2020. For now, we’re gonna focus instead on another tribe of individuals on social media, those who may believe the President is a narcissistic racist… … but who definitely believe the White House uses a Melania Trump body double on occasion. Talk of a fake Melania Trump first surfaced in October of 2017 after President Trump delivered a speech in which a handful of observes absolutely swore that the woman standing next to him was NOT actually the First Lady. We covered that conspiracy HERE . It really did seem like a fairly wayward and absurd conspiracy at the time — but now it’s back. On Friday morning, the Commander-in-Chief stood in front of the Washington press corp and answered a few questions. During the exchange, he referred to himself as “the most transparent President ever.” And yet, incredibly, this was not the most shocking aspect of the media gathering; at least not to a few social media users who honed in the appearance of the woman by Trump’s side. “I have never believed in a conspiracy more than the one that Melania was killed and replaced by a stand-in,” wrote one individual, while another looked at a photo of the supposed First Lady at this event and wondered: Who the hell is that?! That is not Melania Trump. Another Twitter user wrote: “Who is that woman standing behind Trump because it is straight up not Melania?” And yet another chimed in as follows: I am not a conspiracy theorist but this is really weird. Here is a screen capture from a video of Donald and Melania from this morning. Can you see where these body double theories are coming from? To be clear, we really do not think the real Melania Trump was murdered. But famous people do sometimes trot out dopplegangers as a safety measure. In the case of Melania, however, it’s possible that she simply hates her cheating husband and her life and refuses to go out in public with the President sometimes. So his staff is left with no choice but to send a phony in her place. Melania Trump actually celebrated her birthday on Friday amid this new controversy. The White House marked this occasion by sending out a Tweet that read “Happy Birthday, @FLOTUS!” Nice enough, right? However, in the accompanying photo, Mrs. Trump is sitting alone on a sofa during a bilateral meeting between Donald Trump and Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis in the Oval Office. Sort of an odd picture to use in honor of someone’s birthday — and Twitter took notice. There was this Photoshopping of The Donald next to his wife: And also this Photoshopping of the person who really, tragically runs the country alongside his puppet’s better half: Like, we don’t really believe all this Melania Trump body double chatter. But we’d also totally understand if she just wanted to go into hiding for the next year and a half, you know?
It’s pretty unusual to be surprised by a Duggar family pregnancy announcement. Heck, in the past several weeks alone, Kendra Duggar has confirmed she’s pregnant with her second child… … and so has Amy Duggar … … and so has Jessa Seewald . But we still did a double take and our jaw must still be removed from the jaw after learning on Friday afternoon that Anna Duggar is ALSO pregnant. With her sixth child! “We couldn’t be happier to share with the world that our family is growing by one this Fall,” Anna and controversial husband Josh Duggar told Us Weekly in a statement, adding: “We continually stand amazed by God’s love, redemption, grace and blessings in our lives. Our entire little family is ecstatic!” The pair got married in 2008 and are already parents to Mackynzie, 9, Michael, 7, Marcus, 5, Meredith, 3, and Mason, 19 months. Many observers are likely focusing on the word redemption used by Anna above — because it tells the story of why we are so taken aback by this pregnancy news. Back in the spring of 2015, Josh was forced to admit that he molested his own sisters when he was a teenager. Josh’s parents were aware of this inappropriate behavior at the time it transpired, but chose not to alert any authorities. Following Josh’s extended stay at a faith-based rehabilitation center in the wake of this wild and awful scandal, the couple entered marriage counseling following their difficult year. Not long afterward the molestation reveal, Josh also admitted to being a member of the website Ashley Madison , whose users signed on in order to find members of the opposite sex with whom they could cheat on their spouses. “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever,” he said in a statement after his cheating was exposed, adding in the summer of 2015: “While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife. “I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him.” Josh concluded with an apology: “I humbly ask for your forgiveness. Please pray for my precious wife Anna and our family during this time.” It must have worked, too, because Amy announced she was pregnant with the couple’s fifth child in 2015. However, TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of Josh’s multiple controversies — while he and Anna mostly receded from the spotlight. In July 2018, though, Anna shared a numerous of family photos to Instagram, where she reflected on the past decade of life and the “wonderful adventure” that it has been. “June was an exciting month for our family: Marcus, Michael and I are are officially a year older + Josh and I celebrated our 10 year engagement anniversary!” she wrote in the caption, continuing as follows: “The past 10 years have been a wonderful adventure. So thankful for God’s redeeming grace and His blessings to us along the way, especially our 5 M’s!” Anna was widely mocked and criticized at the time for referring to the scandals described above as a wonderful adventure . Still, however, a baby is a blessing, right? In two videos shared to social media, both Anna and Josh give their kids a series of cut out paper letters, which they together spell out to read, “New baby coming this fall.” “Mommy’s having a baby!” Anna says to her children, who yell and scream in excitement. It is very cute. We certainly wish Anna all the health and happiness possible with this pregnancy. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, meanwhile, expressed their enthusiasm for the couple this evening, writing this message on their website: “We are so happy for Josh & Anna, expecting their 6th child and our 16th grandchild! Each child is a blessing from God! Anna is one of the most amazing women in the world, she is a Proverbs 31 woman! “Anna & Josh are good parents and it is going to be neat to see what God does with each one of their children’s lives. “Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus, Meredith and Mason are so excited to have a little sibling on the way! God is at work in their sweet little family! He has blessed them with another child! “What a gift! The best days for their family are still ahead!” View Slideshow: Anna Duggar: Weight Loss Transformation Stuns Fans!

Check out the losers for this week below, then hit the next page for the W! Losers 1. Kanye West’s $50 church socks So these socks cost $50. If you bought these $50 Jesus socks from Kanye I’m just going to assume you also got scammed at Fyre Fest. pic.twitter.com/QvbTxWRyrY — sushi mane (@srkellz) April 21, 2019 A sock labeled “Church” costs $50. A sock labeled “Jesus” costs FIFTY DOLLARS. This past weekend, Kanye West performed at Coachella for his Sunday Service, which he would usually hold regularly for family and friends in the past. However, he decided to share the gospel-fused experience with Coachella, complete with a gospel choir, a sermon by DMX, and performances of Kanye hits like “Jesus Walks.” The whole event took place atop a man-made hill and everyone from Chance the Rapper to Donald Glover attended, according to TMZ . Now Kanye is already on thin ice for many of his fans, considering his MAGA love. But if the man wants to have a spiritual experience atop a grassy mountain with beige-tastic clothing, who’s to stop him? The issues came when Kanye was selling merchandise on site and the price tags were more than questionable. Kanye sold sweatshirts for $225, but considering his ideas about high fashion, this pricing might be SLIGHTLY comprehensible in a fashionista’s view. But when he charged $50 for socks…socks you walk in, socks that are sometimes covered up by jeans, he was completely and utterly tripping. And then, they have the nerve to have religious text on them, having me feel like I should pay $50 for Jesus when Jesus should be free… Or at least at an affordable price if you’re someone who puts money in religion. Twitter wasn’t haven’t it. Is this the #Easter miracle we’ve been waiting for?! $50 socks from Kanye. Do they help us walk on water? I need an honest review from someone at #Coachella . pic.twitter.com/DnUdbNJkFL — King B (@kuyakollective) April 21, 2019 Jesus ain’t died for some $50 socks or no $225 sweater, Kanye…SMH pic.twitter.com/zCvowCB3Zz — Reneé Larson (@iamreneejai) April 21, 2019 Jesus about to resurrect the dead to come beat the shit outta all the suckas that bought $50 Kanye socks — JLim (@JLimSD) April 21, 2019 No thanks Kanye. Moving on. 2. Avengers: Endgame spoilers I’ll make this one quick, since any utterance of an Endgame storyline could cause a riot. Endgame has arrived and we’ll finally learn the fate of the Avengers and the powerful Thanos.

Spend one second on social media and you risk catching all the important stuff that will go down in history . This week, folks have been dodging spoilers left and right and they unleashed their grievances online. If you spoil endgame, i DEADASS won’t talk to you for a year and A HALF — dylan j.

Source: harles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images / Getty / Getty Eva Marcille Alleges That Marlo Hampton’s Been Gay Bashing For Years Eva Marcille has some words for Marlo Hampton. Remember when Marlo (very) messily helped spread a rumor from one of Eva’s bridesmaids that Eva’s flat broke and perpetrating with a house solely used for TV tapings and a car allegedly purchased under scammy circumstances? Not only that, the woman named Seanita allegedly claimed that Eva was a “stone cold lesbian” when she travels to the West Coast. According to Eva who spoke with US Weekly, Marlo’s obsessed with her and it’s disturbing. “I’ve never met someone that is so consumed with what I drive, where I live, who [I’ve] dated. It’s quite appalling, to be completely honest, and disgusting in certain regards,” she tells Us Weekly exclusively. “This whole idea of her bringing this up, never nipped it in the bud with her, but her gay bashing is disgusting. It is quite gross.” I don’t understand what her problem is with people who date the same sex or that are bisexual,” she added. “If that is my reality or not why does it matter to her? I don’t know if she would like to dip into more lady pools, and if that’s why she’s so inquisitive about it.” OOOP! Eva who also shut down questions that she previously dated Missy Elliot (weird rumor, but okay) already said she NEVER dated women and added that she takes issue with the negative connotation she feels the entrepreneur, 43, gives the term “queer.” “What I don’t like is the fact that she makes queer seem bad,” she says. “I don’t like it because you have people that are not as strong as I am, or not as comfortable in their skin, or that are a little bit confused about their label or identity, that find themselves tucking their tail in between their legs and hanging their head low because they don’t know how to deal with that kind of stuff.” Sit down, Marlo. Is Marlo bashing Eva’s alleged sexuality or is she just being SUPER messy for airtime??? View this post on Instagram Many have an image of me, very few get the picture.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty 50 Cent has taken his trolling to elite levels, ask Teairra Mari . On this Wednesday, April 24, Young Buck has threatened to “Ja Rule” the Queens rapper after he caught wind of a social media post that mocked his new forthcoming album. Buck is dropping a new project, and Fif decided to bring attention to the release by also mentioning that Buck allegedly had relations with a trans person. “Young buck is almost ready to drop his album. He worked hard on this project, I told him his personal choice to date a tran sexual will confuse some of his core audience but with the support of the LGBT he should be fine. New heat coming soon,” wrote Fif on Instagram. You may recall that 50 Cent previously brought up the claim about Buck’s relations in an audio post that he since deleted . Not that there’s anything wrong with that. While the promo certainly can’t hurt, Buck retorted by using Ja Rule’s name as a verb—while also admitting he was still under contract with Fif. “I thought you was 50 Cent, I thought you had some real n***a tendencies…” said Buck on Instagram Live. “If you such a real n*gga, why don’t you let me go? You understand what I’m saying? And we’ll fight the battle like that… Line me up like Ja Rule. Go bar-for-bar with me, n***a. Play that game, you scared?” After saying he had no time for Fif’s “gay games” and noting the G-Unit rapper/actor was allegedly hindering his career thanks to cease and desists, he eventually added, “We gon see who Ja Rule who bitch.” Looks like they both had time because…petty rappers are going to petty.

Two months ago, Tasha Rosenbrook bravely asked for help as Leida Margaretha destroyed her life for a second time. Fans opened their hearts and wallets and donated, but now Tasha has announced that she's refunding them. Why? Because Leida has won. Tasha can't keep fighting. Leida Margaretha marched into Tasha's home and took everything from her — not only her father, but her apartment. Tasha had to move, and she spoke her mind — on 90 Day Fiance and on social media. Leida retaliated by securing a restraining order against Tasha for “harassment.” That means four years before Tasha can even try to bridge the gap that Leida created between father and daughter. Fans of Tasha's, plus people who just hate Leida, contributed to her GoFundMe to help her fight the restraining order in court. In a new video shared on social media, Tasha explains why that legal battle has come to an end. “We are here to update you finally on what’s going on,” Tasha says. “Unfortunately, there’s no good news here.” “So firstly, I would like to say that yes, the money from the GoFundMe did go towards the lawyer,” Tasha clarifies. “But she refunded all the money that we gave her,” she reveals. Tasha explains that this happened “because she decided to withdraw from my case about two weeks ago.” Tasha explains the attorney's decision: “she felt like she didn’t quite have what it took to do a restraining order case,” “And not only that,” the video notes. “But in order to reopen the original case we’d have to appeal to a higher court.” “Which,” it is revealed. “Would cost almost $10,000.” “It’s not that we didn’t have new evidence to present,” Tasha's roommate Jan explains. “Tasha doesn’t have the money,” she says plainly. “That’s a lot of money.” “We are giving everyone the chance to request their refund from the GoFundMe,” Jan continues. “Tasha doesn’t have thousands of dollars to take this to the state level and get new evidence presented to a new judge,” she explains. “But that doesn’t mean she’s not going to try to get her security deposit back, Eric,” Jan warns. Tasha lived in the apartment before Eric moved in as a roommate and ultimately forced her to leave to please Leida. That's not one side of the story — horrified viewers watched Leida gleefully make that arrangement on camera. “I’m not happy about it,” Tasha expresses. “I’m not withdrawing because I want to.” Another obstacle is that the statute of limitations on harassment has passed. “Too much time has passed,” Jan says. “And there hasn’t been any bashing of Tasha that we know of on social media.” “It’s not because we weren’t trying,” the video clarifies. “It’s just things weren’t working out.” “We can and can’t quite look at other lawyers,” Tasha admits. “Because honestly, between Jan and I, we’ve called about 50 at least lawyers in the area.” “No one really wants to take the case,” she laments. “Mainly because of social media.” “And also because there really aren’t a lot of lawyers willing to do harassment,” she adds, noting the exception of more expensive lawyers. “It’s just a mess,” Tasha bemoans. “It’s going to cost thousands of dollars for the new retainer if I wanted to reopen the case.” “And then it’s going to cost who knows how much more for a new lawyer too,” the roommates fear. “Plus if I found a lawyer outside of my county,” Tasha notes. “I’d have to pay for them to travel.” “It’s just not worth my mental health anymore,” she expresses. There's more than one way for Leida to win. If Tasha is (more) broken emotionally and financially, that's a win for Leida. We should note that, though Tasha has fared the worst since Leida began lashing out at her “enemies,” she's not the only target. In recent months, a number of Instagram accounts have become targets. According to complaints lodged by Reality Diggers and others, Leida has been reporting any mention of her as “copyright infringement.” This is a powerful tactic for silencing any criticism or mention of her. Reporting someone for harassment or impersonation can take ages. But social media platforms are terrified of copyright lawsuits. Leida has been chasing these blogs into hiding with her reports. And Instagram has rewarded her with the blue check mark of verification.
