Nicole Nafziger SLAMMED by Own Fans After Posting Weight Loss Ad

Nicole Nafziger is constantly dodging cruel comments, such as rumors that Azan dumped her or questions about her alleged wedding date . This time, the beautiful 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star is receiving some much more direct criticism. Nicole ran an advertisement for a weight loss product, and fans are absolutely livid . Nicole Nafziger took to Instagram to share an ad — one that we have included for your viewing convenience. “A few days into my @boombod 7 day challenge,” Nicole captions the video. “And I have to say I’m SUPER impressed!” Don't worry — she tagged the post as an #ad in compliance with FTC regulations. “Normally I’m so busy I find being consistent with programs a bit tricky,” she admits. “But these shots are super easy & tasty,” Nicole writes. “And they’re paying off!” “My cravings have been going away,” Nicole says. She is, of course, referring to cravings for food that the human body needs to live. “And I haven’t felt as bloated all week,” she remakrs. “So I’ll definitely stick with this.” Well, nobody likes feeling bloated. “If you’re curious, it’s the perfect time to give them a go,” Nicole suggests. “They have BOGO free!” “It really helps with cravings,” Nicole says aloud during the video advertisement itself. “I know some of us have a problem with snacking… it helps pass the time,” she admits. Generally, disordered eating habits result from more deeply rooted issues than boredom, but people aren't always self-aware. “This helps you feel like you don't have to do that so much,” Nicole announces. “The flavor of it is great,” she raves. “I can't wait to try the other flavors too!” Nicole's fans and followers were not amused in the slightest to see her plugging weight-loss products. “These weight loss ads are sad, Nicole,” warned one follower. “It doesn't work. It's a scam,” pointed out another comment. “I would never advertise this stuff.” Many might say that but sing a different tune if some company were offering thousands of dollars for a simple endorsement. “A healthy diet and exercise works wonders,” another follower suggested. “Not all these quick fix weight loss products.” “Here we go again, don’t waste your hard earned money. I bought it, pure crap !” claimed one commenter. That same follower continued: “Notice none of these ppl have lost any weight.” “Ok hope works Nic,” expressed a fan. “But the solution is bariatric surgery.” “I started doing thrive a few months ago. And it is AMAZING,” raved another follower. That comment continued: “I have so much energy. My stomach is flatter, hips are smaller. It’s fantastic!!” “Get a real job,” demanded another comment. “That'll help you pass the time! Ffs!” “She’s trying to make money here people!!” reminded a follower. “So knock it off!!” “Here’s a tip to lose about 150 pounds,” suggested another fan. “Dump Azscam.” There were actually several comments along that line, making the exact same joke, but the estimations of how much he weighs varied. In the mean time, we'd suggest that people leave Nicole alone. She's not a Kardashian — she actually needs this money. It costs zero dollars to ignore an ad that you don't like.

White Supremacist-In-Chief: Trumplethinskin Dragged After Brainlessly Confusing Cities Where Mass Shootings Occurred [Video]

Source: Alex Wong / Getty Donald Trump Mistakenly Says Mass Shooting Happened In Toledo, Ohio Another day, another idiotic statement from Trump. After two mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio left dozens of people dead , no. 45 addressed the nation, calling the shootings “evil attacks” and crimes “against all humanity.” Trump — yes, TRUMP — said that our country needed to come together to “condemn racism, bigotry, and white supremacy.” Not for a second did any of us think Trump ACTUALLY cared, but his lack of concern was cemented when he sent condolences to the wrong city. “May God bless the memory of those who perished in Toledo, and may God protect them,” he said. See for yourself… During his national address on Monday, President Trump mistakenly referred to Toledo, Ohio, as the site of the weekend's mass shooting. https://t.co/Xu6q6DavEL — Twitter Moments (@TwitterMoments) August 5, 2019 Absolutely no one is amused after two white, male domestic terrorists took the lives of at least 31 people. Donald Trump cares so little about mass shootings that he says it happened in the wrong city (“Toledo”). What's worse, he seemingly read it off the teleprompter, meaning the entire White House didn't care enough to get it right, either. pic.twitter.com/OKLVs6nj5V — VoteVets (@votevets) August 5, 2019 Hey if you’re in Dayton, just a swift reminder that the president of the United States was golfing when your city had a mass shooting and just referred to the city you live in as Toledo. Just tuck that in your pocket for when it comes time to vote again. — Akilah Hughes (@AkilahObviously) August 5, 2019 Not surprisingly, Trump is attempting to use these shootings as fuel to push immigration reform . Hey @realDonaldTrump : You are a real jerk for using mass shooting deaths to try to get your way on anti-immigrant legislation. STOP BLAMING IMMIGRANTS. NOT IMMIGRANTS: The mass shooters in El Paso, Las Vegas, Tree of Life, Parkland, Charleston … Also it's Dayton, not Toledo. https://t.co/Kr7cEX0WnB — Ted Lieu (@tedlieu) August 5, 2019 The fact is these shootings were not perpetrated by immigrants, but by white American men (per usual). And, as the nation mourns all those we lost, presidential candidates who do NOT support domestic terrorism bills are being exposed. “S.894 has 19 co-sponsors. But that number was only made up of half the presidential candidates who are also Senators: New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, California Sen. Kamala Harris, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Bernie Sanders,” NewsOne says of support for Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin’s  Domestic Terrorism Prevention Act of 2019, which was introduced back in March. “Conspicuously missing from that list were three other presidential candidates who are Senators: Michael Bennett of Colorado, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts.” See more reactions to Trump on the flip.

Kelly Rowland Gets Candid About Juggling Motherhood & Self Care (Exclusive)

Source: Honey Nut Cheerios / Honey Nut Cheerios “The Voice” Australia Judge Partnered With Honey Nut Cheerios For Its “Happy Hearts” Initiative Kelly Rowland revealed that it was the death of her own mom that spurred her to start taking her health much more seriously. Doris died of a heart attack in 2014 just weeks after Rowland, 38, gave birth to her son, Titan. “I lost my mom to cardiac arrest,” Rowland told us. “This hit home for me.” The singer said it was “time for me to pour back into my body,” and embarked on a self-care, workout and wellness routine. These days, Rowland said she now enjoys yoga, jogging with friends, high-intensity interval training and pilates – and recently took up meditation. “I went one day and it absolutely changed my life,” Rowland said of meditating. Source: Honey Nut Cheerios / Honey Nut Cheerios The mom of one – who has partnered with Honey Nut Cheerios “Happy Hearts” campaign – said that it’s still a challenge to balance the demands of motherhood and her family with her work and her own needs. “If I am being transparent, I’m still learning,” Rowland admitted. “When I’m giving so much of me (to my work) – I just finished ‘The Voice,” my son will feel slighted, and he tells me,” she explained. “He says, ‘Mommy, I need your attention right now….I’m trying to figure it out as I go.” Besides mommyhood and keeping fit, Rowland said she has new music, a new movie and a new line with athleisure brand Fabletics in the works.

Nas Says Prince Curved Him Because Rapper Didn’t Own His Masters

See the original post here:

Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Prince once curved Nas, but the rapper took it as a life lesson. While on Noreaga’s Drink Champ’s podcast, the Illmatic rapper detailed how the late artist passed on collaborating with him because he didn’t own his masters. It turned out Prince showed up at Nas’ I Am… album release party and he figured it was his opportunity to make a song with the Purple One. “I sought him because he came to my ‘I Am . . .’ release party,” Nas recalled to NORE. “I said, ‘Yo, look, man, let’s do this. Let’s do this song.’ And he was like, ‘Do you own your masters?’ But he blew my sh*t because I was like, ‘I don’t. And I’m far from it, because I owe this label like four, five albums’. . . I was like, ‘Damn.’” Prince told Nas to give him a call after he handled his business, but unfortunately a collab didn’t manifest before his untimely passing. Added Nas, “He kind of helped me see the future.” True indeed.

Fernanda Flores: Desperate for Cash After 90 Day Fiance, Divorce?

Last month, Fernanda Flores posted a 44-minute video to explain why she and Jonathan Rivera split. She made it clear that they’ve both moved on. Jonathan has himself a new girlfriend and has not been shy about their adventures together. But it turns out that Fernanda’s new venture may be a little less glamorous than the modeling career that many had assumed. Fernanda is a gorgeous young model living in Chicago, she’s newly divorced, and she even has a boost to her name thanks to 90 Day Fiance fame. The world is her oyster, right? Maybe not. Earlier this week, reports began to circulate that Fernanda was spotted waitressing in Chicago. While it’s true that many bartenders and waitresses are hired in part for their looks, it’s definitely not the same as being a model. Now, the tales of her employment have been confirmed. An eagle-eyed fan spotted Fernanda and was actually served by her at The Shore Club in Chicago. This was on July 4 — the day on which Fernanda posted a photo of herself in red and blue beside a massive beach ball. The fan contacted 90 Day Fiance blogger and unsung hero John Yates and even DMed him some photos, which he shared to Instagram. That looks like Fernanda to us. What’s more is that the fan even volunteered an assessment of what Fernanda was like. “I don’t think she was thrilled I was taking pictures,” the fan confesses to John Yates. “But I was drunk,” the fan explains. “And had to prove it to my friends.” For the record, taking photos of a public figure — like a reality star — is not the same as Alex From Target -ing someone. Still, please be respectful. The fan had nothing but nice things to say about Fernanda. “Even more gorgeous in person,” the fan assesses. “And was working her ass off!” Fernanda didn’t come to America for the American dream, strictly speaking. She came here for love. (People love to accuse her of being a golddigger, but even Jonathan has dismissed those accusations) She lost that love, and now she’s living … well, not the American dream, but the reality of American life. Being a waitress or a bartender or working in food services in any capacity is hard. Customers , as a group, are the worst people on earth. Anyone willing to look them in their soulless eyes and smile is courageous and a dedicated worker. Good for Fernanda for finding gainful employment, particularly in an economy in which one job is so rarely enough to keep you afloat. Her primary goal, we’re sure, is to be able to pay her bills and continue to live her life. That’s how jobs work. But this will also go a long way towards showing people that she didn’t come to the US to lounge around like a princess. We’re sure that she’s still modeling — she’s too gorgeous to not be modeling, really. But if she needs a steadier income to keep a roof over her head or to keep her bills paid, she chose a fine line of work. Congratulations on the new job, Fernanda. Other 90 Day Fiance stars have done far worse. View Slideshow: Jonathan Rivera: 90 Day Fiance Alum Reveals New Girlfriend!

Michelle Duggar: Did She Get a TLC Cast Member Fired For Being Gay?!

These days, the Duggars are internationally renowned and arguably the most famous evangelicals on the planet. But there was a time when they were just a humble — albeit massive — family from Arkansas with a whole lot of mouths to feed and little knowledge of the outside world. Actually, that’s partially a narrative constructed by TLC, as Jim Bob has always had huge ambitions in the worlds of politics and business, but we’ll leave that conversation for another time. Anyway, in the pre- Josh Duggar sex scandal days when the family’s original show — 19 Kids and Counting — had yet to be canceled, producers reveled in forcing the rubes to leave their beloved compound and interact with big city folk. Sometimes this resulted in lame, fish-out-of-water, Beverly Hillbillies humor. On other occasions, however, it served to highlight the bigotry inherent to the Duggars’ belief system. The most appalling example of the latter type of scenario occurred way back in 2008, when Jim Bob and Michelle were not quite through breeding, and the show was titled 17 Kids and Counting . The incident was first reported by Gawker in 2015, but in recent weeks, it’s become a topic of heated debate on Duggar-related message boards for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. But while we may be uncertain of why the controversy has been unearthed, it remains a potent reminder of the hate and homophobia that exist at the very heart of the Duggars’ belief system, and so we’re happy to revisit it. According to crew members who worked on the show at that time, the Duggars were preparing for a trip to New York City when Michelle suddenly became anxious. She admitted to several behind-the-scenes staffers that she was nervous about the trip due to rumors she had heard regarding NYC’s diverse population. “Well, I hear the city is overrun by gays,” Michelle said to the crew. “Has that been causing a lot of problems?” One of the crew members reportedly gestured to an openly gay co-worker to indicate to Michelle that she would be just fine. Everyone laughed — except, presumably, for Michelle — who complained to the show’s top brass about the crew member’s sexual orientaton. Shortly thereafter, the unidentified staffer was transferred to a different project belonging to the same production company. So he was not “fired,” as some reports suggest, but he was hurried from the Duggars’ home, never to have any contact with the family again. “They kept a very tight lid on this incident,” an insider told Gawker . “On future tapings when new crews would be swapped in, they were suspiciously more and more straight-edged Christian than you’d typically see on the set of a television show.” Michelle, of course, has a long history of practicing and expressing some shockingly bigoted beliefs. She long ago cut ties with Evelyn Ruark , her openly gay sister, seemingly for no other reason than that Evelyn is a lesbian. Back in 2014, Michelle lent her voice to robocalls  supporting a series of discriminatory, transphobic laws regarding housing and bathroom use. We joke at the Duggars’ expense an awful lot around here. But frequently, we’re reminded that their shockingly backward worldview is no laughing matter.

Rutger Hauer Dies; Veteran Actor Was 75

Rutger Hauer, a veteran actor probably best known for his leading role in the 1982 blockbuster Blade Runner, died on July 19 at his home in the Netherlands. He was 75 years old. Hauer’s agent, Steve Kenis, made the news today and added that Hauer’s funeral was held Wednesday. The Dutch actor starred in the aforementioned movie as Harrison Ford’s nemesis, truly putting himself on the Hollywood map with that legendary performance. Hauer’s character delivered a famous speech during a climatic face-off with Ford at the conclusion of Blade Runner, dialogue which he helped write himself, many outlets have since confirmed. “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe,” he tells Ford, adding in this iconic scene: “Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.” He will also be fondly remembered for having major parts in Batman Begins and Sin City — and he also won a Golden Globe Award for his role in the 1987 TV film Escape from Sobibor. Hauer’s exact cause of death is unknown at the moment, but his agent says the actor passed away after having been diagnosed with some kind of illness. “This is not news, but he was a great guy and a great actor,” Kenis told Fox News this afternoon. On the small screen, Hauer portrayed Niall Brigant on HBO’s True Blood, the king of the tribe from which the Stackhouse family is descended and the faerie grandfather to Sookie, Jason Stackhouse and Hunter Savoy.  He also recurred on ABC’s medieval musical comedy Galavant as Kingsley in 2015. Aside from his acting career, Hauer was very active in social causes as an outspoken sponsor of the environmental organization Greenpeace and the founder the Starfish Association, a non-profit devoted to AIDS awareness. In the wake of his passing, there’s been an outpouring of sadness on social media. Tweeted Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro, for example: “RIP the great Rutger Hauer: an intense, deep, genuine and magnetic actor that brought truth, power and beauty to his films.” And Robert Patrick added: “I am so sad to hear this, Rutger was such a sweet human being, and amazing actor! R.I.P. Rutger Hauer.” And Clancy Brown: “Giant Dutch hands. Giant Dutch heart. Rutger is one of the best actors I’ve ever known. Rest In Peace.” And Jack Osbourne: “RIP Rutger Hauer. Your work shaped my youth. Thank you. You will not be lost in time, like tears in the rain.” Hauer is survived by his second wife of 50 years, Ineke ten Cate, and a daughter, actress Aysha Hauer, from his marriage to Heidi Merz. We send our condolences to his friends, family members and loved ones. May Rutger Hauer rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
