Jenelle Evans has been having a tough few weeks. What an understatement, right? Her husband murdered her dog, she lost her Teen Mom 2 gig, and now we've learned that CPS has taken Kaiser and is possibly in the process of taking Ensley. It's bad. And honestly, it looks like it's only going to get worse. 1. What a Time Yeah, so Jenelle’s whole entire life has basically fallen apart in just the past few weeks. 2. Pretty Wild Which is especially impressive when you consider that it was never even that great to begin with. 3. Then vs. Now This time last month, she was floating along with her douchebag swamp monster of a husband, David Eason. She had her MTV job, full custody of Kaiser and Ensley and visitation with Jace. Life was OK. 4. Ugh Then David beat and killed her French bulldog puppy, Nugget. And after that, everything pretty much went all to hell. 5. Nice Try She sold some statements about how she was considering divorcing David for what he’d done, but just a few days later she was back home, pretending like everything was normal. 6. Not So Much It wasn’t normal, though. Not even a little bit. View Slideshow
Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO C ersei thought she was the baddest bitch in all of Westeros but quickly learned the hard way her reign as the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms is coming to an end. The final straw? Her ordering Sir Zombie Gregor to chop off Daenerys’ trusted advisor Missandei’s head to flex her muscle. The Mother of Dragons’ had that look in her eyes, and it was not the glimmer of hope we were used to seeing but that of rage. The Targaryen gene fully activated and the Mad Queen was born in Game of Thrones penultimate episode. Varys Was Right About Daenerys, Unfortunately For Him Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO The episode opens up with Varys drafting up a note detailing that Jon is the true heir to the throne. We immediately get hints of Dany’s paranoia kicking in, and Tyrion doesn’t help matters by dropping a dime on his friend Lord Varys snitching like Tekashi69 that the castrated master of informants planned to spread the word about her relations with her nephew. For a man with no nuts he sure does have a massive pair for even attempting to go against his Queen. Auntie Dany makes the call and sends Grey Worm to go collect Varys and puts him into chains. It doesn’t take too long this episode to see another cast member go this time. Daenerys gives the word and orders her last remaining dragon to incinerate her former advisor as an example to those who even think about spreading her dirty little incestuous secret. Poor Jon watches in utter shock as he is witnessing first hand the woman he bent the knee to give in to the madness that infests her blood. Jon, after witnessing the woman he once loved descent into madness, has a private talk with the Queen. Snow insisted to Varys before he got turned into a deep-fried turkey, and Daenerys numerously he does not want to sit on the throne. He also no longer has any desire to get in his Aunt’s guts much to her dismay. She takes the hint and decides rather than ruling with love, she will do so using fear as her biggest tool. Madness Activated, Daenerys Burns It All Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO Cersei has the numbers, the golden army, Euron with the Iron Fleet and dragon repellent in the form of giant crossbows called scorpions. She should be confident as hell—her new boy toy shot Rhaegal out the sky quite quickly. Well despite being down to just Drogon, sorry the more dragons theory didn’t pan out, Daenerys came through to King’s Landing and went ham like LeBron James in game 6 of Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics . One dragon, no problem was the motto as the Mother of Dragons lived up to her title and quickly took out Euron and the Iron Fleet. She then set her sights on the Scorpions set up around the kingdom and destroyed them. With those obstacles out the way, she laid waste to the Golden Army and the front gate they were standing in front of. Cersei’s forces knew they were in trouble and quickly decided they didn’t want any of the smoke Daenerys brought to their front door. They threw down their swords to the relief of Jon Snow and sounded the bell signaling a full surrender. While this should have marked the end of the one-sided battle, Tyrion who begged his Queen to show mercy before the lopsided skirmish knew the shit was about to hit the fan. Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO As the bells rang, they probably signaled each person and dragon she lost that was dear to her in her head. Peace was not a part of the plan, and thus the Mad Queen was born. Anybody could get it and that included women, children as well as soldiers who just surrendered. To make matters worse, Khaleesi going off the deep end gave Grey Worm who’s been itching to kick some ass after watching his cuddle bae’s dome get chopped smooth off, permission to go off. The remaining Dothraki, Unsullied and soldiers from Winterfell also joined in the fun with poor Jon absolutely appalled at what he was witnessing. While King’s Landing and its occupants are literally being turned to ash, Cersei is definitely watching from a tower. For some reason, she believes there still is a chance to win, her maester Qyburn had to convince her otherwise telling her its time to get the hell out of dodge before she is turned into a shish kebob. With King’s Landing literally burning and the ash coming down like snowflakes it harkens back to Daenerys’ vision she had while trapped inside The House of Undying. A Fitting End For Jaime and Cersei Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO Jaime left Brienne in tears after busting down her virgin cakes and taking off for King’s Landing to link back up with his twin/lover Cersei. We learn early in the episode he doesn’t make it too far because he gets captured— which Daenerys reveals to Tyrion while she berates him for failing. Tyrion has a soft spot for his brother because Jaime helped him stay alive as a youth. So to pay it forward he decides to help him escaped despite knowing this can mean being turned into a roasted mini marshmallow. The one-handed Lannister takes the mini hand of the of King up on his offer and immediately makes it to King’s Landing. His journey to his incestuous lover is impeded when the doors to the Red Keep are closed forcing him to find another way. He eventually bumps into Euron who somehow survived Drogon’s assault. The two battle out with Euron looking to earn the honor of being the man to take out the Kingslayer. The two get into an intense fight, and Jaime gets wounded severely, but he manages to get the better of Uncle Euron delivering the fatal blow. With Euron out of the way its time to go save Cersei. Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO Cersei is all alone at the moment with her hand Qyburn being hilariously killed by his creation Sir Gregor because he got in the way of his fight with his brother The Hound. The once strong and ruthless queen is now desperate and scared just looking for a way to survive the attack. Jaime finally catches up with her, and they head for the keep, but their road to freedom is blocked off. The two embraced with Jaime consoling his sobbing sister who clearly didn’t think she and her child was going to die. They are both crushed with the castle falling on top of them. Now while many will argue they got a pleasant death they did not deserve, this is actually a fitting death for both of them. They both basked in confidence and to see them go out as mere shadows of their cocky selves was a treat despite Daenerys not getting the opportunity to deliver the final blow. Arya and The Hound Look To Settle The Score Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO Arya wants to kill Cersei really badly and cross her off her list, but she won’t get the chance. BUT it looks like her list got a new name added to it as she witnessed the merciless devastation at the hands of Mad Queen and her giant fire-breathing lizard. Meanwhile, The Hound finally looks to get his revenge on his brother for burning his face as a child. The two giant knights of House Clegane go at it with Sandor learning that his brother is pretty much indestructible. Things look bleak with The Hound almost suffering the same fate as Oberyn Martell at the hands of the Mountain. With some quick thinking, The Hound pulls out a dagger and stabs Sir Gregor in the eye before his undead brother can push in his eyeballs. Source: Helen Sloan/HBO / HBO Realizing this battle is going to be fruitless, The Hound decides to go out in a blaze of gory pushing Sir Gregor through a wall with both of them falling to a fiery death. Arya who managed to survive Drogon’s assault on King’s Landing encounters a horse and hops on it. We can only wonder if she is heading back to Winterfell to tell Sansa or to Dragonstone to take out Daenerys. Next week’s final episode of is going to be L I T!
Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty It can be pretty difficult to watch folks share beautiful photos with their moms or even reminisce about moments with their mother when your mom is no longer here. “Mother’s day can be a very hard day if you’ve lost your mom, or if you don’t have a good relationship with her. if any of you need a mom today i’m happy to be that for you, I love you all”- @HolyShnitt But don’t fret. According to Jane Greer, Ph.D., a New York-based marriage and family therapist: “It can be really, really hard to go about celebrating the day, especially if you’ve recently lost your mother,” she tells us. “And I recognize that. But it’s so important to do so. It’s so important to continue to celebrate your mother and her spirit, and to realize that even though you won’t be together in a physical sense this year, she’s with you in spirit.” It may not be the easiest thing to do, but there are plenty of ways to navigate Mother’s Day without a mom. Greer added: “It can be incredibly helpful and calming to engage in an activity that you and she used to do together, especially if a sentimental location is involved. If you used to celebrate by taking her out to brunch at a favorite local spot, continue ordering her beloved blueberry pancakes. If you used to frequent a certain coffee shop together, head back there today and drink a cup in her honor. Remind yourself that her legacy lives on in all of these things.” Whatever you decide, just know that this Mother’s Day, you are not alone and an extra prayer goes up for you today. “Happy Mother’s Day to the sisters who take care of their siblings almost as much, if not more than their mom, your family would be lost without you.” @Heartile “Happy Mother’s Day to all my beautiful friends. Hope you get to do whatever you want to do today! Also for those of us who have lost our beloved mothers, hugs and I feel they are always with us. Their smile, their guidance, their love” @LondonGal_28 If you’re a motherless child this Mother’s Day, try to indulge in things that lift your spirits and honor your beloved mommy. And don’t think for a second that people have forgotten about you on this day. Let Tupac Shakur ‘s sweet message to the motherless carry your spirit on this special day!
Meghan Markle did not celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time on Sunday. But she did celebrate Mother’s Day for the first time as an actual mother. The Duchess of Sussex, who gave birth to son Archie this past Monday, posted a brand new image of the newborn earlier today in honor of this special occasion. Not everyone may have been aware upon first viewing the photom, but it also paid tribute to Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana. How so? In the snapshot, which was taken at the famous couple’s new Frogmore Cottage home in Windsor, Diana’s favorite flower, forget-me-nots, can be seen in the background. It’s a subtle, yet poignant nod to the mother-in-law Markle never had a chance to meet. “Paying tribute to all mothers today – past, present, mothers-to-be, and those lost but forever remembered. We honor and celebrate each and every one of you,” Harry and Meghan wrote as a caption to this picture. They continued: “Today is Mother’s Day in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Japan, and several countries across Europe. “This is the first Mother’s Day for The Duchess of Sussex.” And they concluded: “Quote from ‘lands’: my mother was my first country; the first place I ever lived.” According to various outlets, Markle is spending the day at home with her new son, alongside her husband and her mom Doria Ragland. The latter flew in to Great Britain several days before her daughter gave birth and has no plans to leave any time soon. Meghan and Harry, meanwhile, debuted little Archie last Wednesday. While fans are debating whether they gave their child this unexpected name in order to royally piss off Harry’s native country , the stars themselves seemed very relaxed and overjoyed during the photo opportunity. “It’s magic. It’s pretty amazing. I have the best two guys in the world, so I’m really happy,” Markle told the gathered press, adding of her newborn: “He has the sweetest temperament. He’s really calm.” Harry then quipped: “I don’t know where he gets that from!” And Markle added: “He’s just been a dream. It’s been a special couple of days.” Prior to this debut, Harry himself spoke briefly to members of the media. “I haven’t been in many births,” he said, adding in adorable fashion: “This is definitely my first birth. It was amazing, absolutely incredible. “As I said, I am so incredibly proud of my wife and as every father and parent would ever say, your baby is absolutely amazing, but this little thing is absolutely to die for, so I’m just over the moon.” View Slideshow: Royal Baby Photos: Who Wore Their Blanket Best?
Source: Stephen J. Cohen / Getty Steve Harvey Tapes Final Episode Of ‘Steve’ This is probably why this man can’t sleep …SMH. “Steve”, the daytime talk series lead by Steve Harvey for the past seven years, has come to an end despite having great ratings. The final episode of the show was filmed just this week. Harvey’s wife Marjorie shared the good luck smooch she planted on her hubby right before cameras started to film for a final time. It’s worth noting that “Steve” didn’t go out sad! This season, “Steve” averaged about 1.8 million viewers a week , putting it at No. 5 among syndicated talk shows behind “Dr. Phil,” “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” “Live with Kelly and Ryan” and “Maury.” SMH. But why was it canceled? Scroll down to read why… View this post on Instagram before the last show #harveys A post shared by Marjorie Harvey (@marjorie_harvey) on May 9, 2019 at 4:56pm PDT According to Variety , Harvey lost his spot arbitrarily after NBC announced plans to do a talk show with Kelly Clarkson . There was no other reason reported. Shady af! The pre-taped episodes are set to run through June. Steve ran for seven years on NBC, with Harvey one of the few people of color with a successful talk show in the daytime slot in years. The talk show was previously pushed as The Steve Harvey Show but changed styles and tone after Endeavor’s IMG Original Content reached a deal with Harvey in 2017 that included him receiving a majority stake in the show. Steve doesn’t take the cancellation of his successful daytime show as a loss at all. Hit the flip to hear the speech he gave to his crew after the final episode was taped.
So look, a lot of people have a lot of feelings about Farrah Abraham. And yes, pretty much all of those feelings are negative. It makes sense — after all, she’s not really a likable person . Part of the reason she got fired from Teen Mom OG was because she couldn’t manage to just be civil to the crew members filming her. On television, on social media, in interviews … pretty much every single time we’ve seen her in any context, she’s just rude and nasty and really, really dumb . Even so, there’s always been a few things about Farrah that definitely make us feel some sympathy for her. One of those is the fact that she lost Derek Underwood, her sometimes boyfriend and the father of her daughter, Sophia, when she was pregnant. She wasn’t open about what happened during her episode of 16 and Pregnant and early on in the Teen Mom series, but since then, we’ve been able to piece together what happened. Basically, she and Derek dated for a while, but they often fought and broke up. It didn’t help that her parents didn’t approve of her relationship with him — once her father caught Derek in her bedroom and chased him out of the house with a knife. She got pregnant, but she didn’t tell Derek, and she never got a chance to tell him. He passed away in a car accident just two months before she gave birth to Sophia. It was devastating for her, and understandably so — even if they weren’t together at the time of his death, he was still the father of her unborn child. It would have been a lot to handle, especially for a teenager. Farrah went on to … well, we all know all what she went on to do , but in the years since Derek’s death, she’s never forgotten him. She always keeps his memory alive for Sophia, and since yesterday would have been his 29th birthday, she took the time to celebrate him in a tribute she shared on Instagram. It’s a lot, so buckle up. “To the one very special person I celebrate and remember like no other,” she began. “Happy Birthday Derek I love you, May 8th you would be 29 today, birthdays used to be so simple.” “You gave me that once in a lifetime love of my life everyone so deserves,” she continued, “you gave me so many 1st’s, from virginity, proms, trips, my first ring, you showed me unconditional love, you showed what relationships are, from prom, graduation, to our only child …” “All the events that had happened the entire sequence was one filled with the thrill, love & loss.” Yeah, this barely makes sense, but this is Farrah, and she’s trying, OK? After that, she wrote “Now I share a birthday breakfast in your memory & all our best photos and your childhood photos with our daughter.” “I see all of your messages to me, & your written letters. Thank you for being the best loving man I know, and one of the strongest.” “Our groups of friends & haters can’t deny our legendary times, from school, parties, summer nights & in-between,” she added. “My partner in crime getting me in all the trouble — love you legend we all miss you today more than ever & so much love, memories from Sophia & I, family, friends and those who watched over the years.” “Happy Birthday I love & miss you, and thank you for everything you did for me,” she finished. Does Farrah tend to romanticize the relationship she had with Derek? Obviously. Like, a lot. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: I Am Such a Great Mother! But with all the other problems she has , is this really such a big one? In the grand scheme of things? Maybe, yeah, but either way, we hope that both Farrah and Sophia are feeling all right after what was clearly a very emotional day.
By now, you’ve almost certainly heard the joyous news: Meghan Markle welcomed her first child this week — a bouncing baby boy named Archie. This should be a time for Meghan and Harry to bond with their young prince. (Technically Archie doesn’t have a royal title yet, but he’s already a prince to us!) Unfortunately, there are no days off for royals. That means just days after becoming parents, Harry and Meghan are back to making public appearances and getting harassed by the British tabloid press. On Wednesday, Archie had his first official photocall. And because media figures in the UK all apparently take their cues for basic human decency from Piers Morgan, the event very much did not go smoothly. For one, there was Danny Baker, the BBC host who was fired for comparing baby Archie to a “chimp.” Good riddance to that jackass — but sadly, he wasn’t the only member of the British press to behave abhorrently. You see, Meghan and Harry understandably wanted to limit the number of reporters shouting at their baby for pics at the photocall, so they put together a list of media outlets who would be represented at Archie’s big debut. This shouldn’t have been a big deal, as the images were available for free to anyone who wanted them just moments later. And yet it was a big deal, because elderly British snobs like Dickie Arbiter got their knickers in a twist because Meghan decided to invite one (1) American outlet. CBS and Gayle King were represented at the event, likely because Harry and Meghan are friends with Gayle and her iconic BFF Oprah. This drove Arbiter up a wall because he’s obviously a very normal person with completely normal priorities. “Choosing a U.S. Network, fiend [sic] or not, is treading on dodgy ground,” an outraged Arbiter tweeted. We’d say an old white guy bitching and moaning on social media because an American woman of color is friends with another American woman of color is “treading on dodgy ground,” but what do we know? In more positive, less low-key racist news, Harry made a short day trip to the Netherlands to kick off the countdown to the Invictus games today. We’re sure he didn’t relish being away from his wife and son, even for a few hours, but he made sure to let the world know where his heat was: Harry rocked a jacket embroidered with the words “Invictus Family Daddy.” Certain letters were highlighted to read, “I am Daddy.” Sounds like Archie is gonna have a lot of love in his life — and he’ll need it with hateful mummies like Danny Baker and Dickie Arbiter in the world.

Fans of Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan are still getting over the joyful announcement of the royal baby name . But Harry is back to work, and holding earnest conversations with people even as he beams with pride as a new father. The prince has also spoken of how he misses his mother, the late great Princess Diana. A veteran by the name of Dennis van der Stroon spoke to Prince Harry on Thursday during the new father’s trip to the Netherlands. Van der Stroon then spoke to Hello! about the exchange, in which they reflected upon both fatherhood and loss. “Harry talked about how having a small child was his new focus and new goal,” van der Stroon reveals. He recalls: “and I told him how a couple of months ago, I was struggling with my mental health.” “But,” van der Stroon told the prince. “My wife’s pregnancy has given me a goal.” Like Prince Harry, van der Stroon lost his mother when he was young and is also about to become a father. “Above all,” he comments. “He said he was just amazed by the miracles in the world.” It sounds like he’s very pumped up by being a new father. And he knows that he’s not the only one. van der Stroon adds: “and how his child has made a lot of people happy.” That is certainly true. “He also told me he’s really happy that his son is so far very quiet,” van der Stroon shares. Hey, that’s something that we didn’t know about baby Archie. “But,” he continues. “He also told me not to make too many plans.” Ban der Stroon explains: “and that there’s no way you can plan for when the baby arrives.” That is absolutely true. “I told Harry about my mother,” van der Stroon shares, noting that they could relate to each other. It has been more than 20 years since Princess Diana’s tragic death. “And,” he reveals. “We talked about our shared experience of missing a mum.” That is heartbreaking for both of them. “He said missing a mother is like missing some kind of security,” van der Stroon expresses. Van der Stroon says that Harry spoke of “how you need that [security] as a son and it falls away when you lose your mother.” He and his brother were then under a spotlight as never before while they mourned, which only compounded the trauma. “He said he meets a lot of people in his work who have lost a mother, father, sister, brother, or relatives,” van der Stroon shares. Prince Harry is known for his charity work, following in his late mother’s footsteps. “And when he hears their story, as he heard my story,” van der Stroon concludes. “He said he doesn’t feel so alone.” Harry and Meghan shared their happy news earlier this week. “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased to announce they have named their first born child: Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor,” they shared on Instagram. “This afternoon,” the statement read. “Their Royal Highnesses introduced Her Majesty The Queen to her eighth great-grandchild at Windsor Castle.” “The Duke of Edinburgh and the duchess’ mother were also present for this special occasion,” the post added. As Harry told van der Stroon, the birth of baby Archie has brought joy to a lot of people who feel invested in Harry and Meghan.

Source: Bravo / Getty Reality Star & Entrepreneur Talks Season Four Of RHOP Viewers saw plenty of drama last season of “The Real Housewives of Potomac.” Last season, we saw plenty of drama involving the ladies of Potomac. And this season, show star Gizelle Bryant said issues like Michael Darby’s arrest, Monique Samuels’ and Ashley Darby’s pregnancy, Candiace Dillard’s wedding and a cast trip to the Big Easy will not disappoint. “I do feel like this season of ‘Real Housewives’ is the best yet,” Bryant told us. “I feel like this is going to become our breakout season. Not that people don’t know who we are, but I feel like people are super excited about where the franchise is going.” We caught up with the “Everyhue Beauty” founder and mom of three, and she spoke about what viewers can expect, dropping her novel, “My World,” and her dating life after breaking up with her now ex-Sherman. BOSSIP: Things were up and down last season between you and Karen. What is your relationship like now? Gizelle: “Currently, it’s up and down, I never know where it’s gonna land. Off the heels of the reunion last year, said ‘Gizelle, if you’re my friend, you’ll knock down my door. So that’s what I have been trying to do. She’s been in a tough spot, she lost her parents, so I wanna be a friend to her. But if you keep pushing me away, at some point I’m just going to go away…But she and I have known each other for a long time. And I get that she’s a tough friend to have, but you do want her as a friend.” BOSSIP: How are things between you and Candiace now? And how was her wedding? Gizelle: “She actually invited me to the wedding. I did go. She wanted to sit down and chit chat before the wedding because she didn’t want any drama at the wedding. Over time, I’ve got to know Candiace better and I really like Candiace. She’s a spoiled brat. She has issues. But I like her for who she is…It was a beautiful wedding. A beautiful wedding, and so super happy for her.” Source: Brian Stukes / Getty BOSSIP: How is Ashley Darby doing? We know her husband was cleared of suspicion of sex assault, and we know she’s pretty far along in her pregnancy. Gizelle: “She’s eight months, so she’s ready to pop. She’s super excited. We’ve all seen Ashley go through a miscarriage, and struggle to get pregnant again. So she is pregnant – Michael is the father! (Laughs) I don’t know how we feel about that. Just kidding. But Michael is a special character. So we see throughout the season – and you’ve all heard – his allegations. They’ve been dropped. But to get to that place where the allegations are dropped, it’s very juicy and there are a lot of twists and turns, so stay tuned for that!”
Last night, Adam Sandler hosted Saturday Night Live. It was super fun, honestly — to welcome him back after all this time, things were less political and more ridiculous. You know, like Adam himself. He revived some classic characters from his old SNL days , and he even sang some songs. And one of those songs … to put it simply, you're not ready for it. See, Adam has this song he wrote for the late, great Chris Farley, who tragically passed away from an overdose in 1997. You may have heard it before if you've seen one of his recent comedy shows or his new special on Netflix, but for a lot of people, this is their first time hearing the song. If you're one of those people, go ahead and grab some tissues. A good deal of the song is pretty funny, which is appropriate, since this is Adam Sandler singing a song on Saturday Night Life, after all. He recalls some of Farley's most popular characters — yes, there's a reference to living in a van down by the river — and he shares some happy memories of his friend. Throughout the performance, there's a screen next to him that shows photos and videos from back in the day, and even just silent footage of Chris' old SNL scenes gets the audience laughing. But there are definitely some darker parts, like when Adam sings “We'd tell him 'Slow down, you'll end up like Belushi and Candy,' he said 'Those guys are my heroes, that's all fine and dandy.'” And it gets downright heartbreaking when he recounts the last time he saw him and how just a few months later, he was burying his friend and watching his father cry at his funeral. That's the part where Adam gets choked up, which makes everything even more upsetting. In the last part of the song, he sings about life after Chris' death, how he shows his kids clips from his old movies and tells them that he's the funniest person he ever knew. It's all just really, really sad. Watching the touching performance in its entirety in the video below:
