Well, it's been a tumultuous season (thanks mainly to Luke P.), but we've finally made it. In a two-part finale that begins tonight, Hannah will make a decision that's certain to change the course of her life. If you've been following our Bachelorette spoilers then you already know who Hannah selects in her final rose ceremony. But even with that secret out, it seems there's still plenty more drama to come. She may have finally cleared the Luke Parker hurdle, but it seems many stumbling blocks lie ahead for Hannah — literally. A newly-released preview for the finale shows Hannah suffering an embarrassing fall in the midst of an emotional breakdown. We won't find out Hannah's final pick until Tuesday ( Bachelor/Bachelorette producers draw things out like no one else), but we know that everyone who's still in the running is fully invested emotionally. And no one has more on the line than Hannah herself. “Hannah is the person I've always wanted to meet. She just feels like a missing piece to my life,” Jed Wyatt says in the finale. “You have to have that one in a million connection with someone to really make things work, and I do believe that we have that,” Tyler Cameron remarks. “I've never felt this intensely for someone. I 100 percent can see this woman as my wife. Like, 100 percent,” Windmill Man Peter Weber tells the camera. In addressing the men at the final rose ceremony, Hannah gets choked up: “I have three amazing men standing in front of me, and this week has been amazing,” she tells her finalists. You've opened your heart to me, your families, you've been vulnerable and honest and open, and I just feel so blessed. But I have to continue to make the hardest decisions,” Hannah continues. “That makes this hard for me, because I'm not just breaking somebody's heart, I'm breaking my own heart.” There have been complaints about this season of The Bachelorette , with many griping that Hannah came off as immature and easily-manipulated, or that Luke Parker took up entirely too much screentime. But those who have seen this week's episodes — including former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky — say that this might be the most dramatic Bachelorette finale ever . Check out a preview clip and to prepare yourself for the epic four-hour conclusion:

As spotted on The Grio the talk show host had time on Wednesday, July 24. While going through her daily topic list she called out the “Like You” rapper for talking sideways about his former love interest Ciara. During a club appearance last week he was seen on camera saying “I had that b**** first you know that right” when rapping along his hit “Like You” which featured his then time girlfriend Ci-Ci.

What are you doing?” she exclaimed. She continued on her with scolding. “It’s very distasteful. We’ve all had somebody before we had you, man. We’ve all lived, but to be shirtless in a club and calling her a ‘bitch,’ you were so wrong for that.” Naturally Shad’s inflammatory adlibs made the rounds on the internet prompting Nelly and T.I. to do a impromptu intervention on the Like Mike actor.

For this year’s festivities, 21 is partnering with Amazon Music, Leading by Example Foundation, and Momma Flystyle for the event that takes place on Sunday, August 4. Since his rise to stardom, 21 Savage has made an effort to continually give back to his community as much as he can. The purpose of his annual back-to-school drive is to giveaway school uniforms, school supplies, and free haircuts for both boys and girls before the start of the new year. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Saint Laurent Don (@21savage) on Jul 27, 2019 at 2:42pm PDT 21 Savage has focused a lot of his energy on his philanthropic efforts this year, which includes expanding his 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign by teaching a monthly online seminar on financial literacy, as well as promising to give jobs to at-risk Atlanta youth. Before last year’s back-to-school drive, the rapper spoke with VIBE on the importance of helping his community in Atlanta. When talking the about the event, 21 said, “I went to school in Dekalb and Gwinnett County. This is important since we didn’t have this as kids.” His co-manager Meezy added, “It takes being from here to understand what is needed. This is Dekalb County, I grew up here and I want to make sure these kids have nothing to worry about.” Shoutout to 21 Savage for always luuhhhhhvin da kids!
I’m blushing. So said Amy Roloff shortly after she was introduced to a sold-out room in Grand Rapids, Michigan on Thursday, July 25 and everyone in attendance responded with raucous applause, along some hoots and hollers. Roloff hails from a suburb of Detroit and her parents currently live in northern Michigan, making this trip a bit of a homecoming for the reality star. So her very warm welcome may have had something to do with Roloff being a native Michigander, a fact she brought up multiple times during her talk. But it also may have had lot to do with how genuine she truly seems to be, how open and honest she is about herself and her family and, as cheesy as this sounds, as real and as down-to-Earth as she comes across while on stage. I was there for this event. I speak from experience. I’d love nothing more than to sit down for a home-cooked meal by the Little People, Big World star and simply talk with her over a glass of wine. “I’m so amazed that people actually came out here to hear me talk,” Amy said to open her speech, encouraging everyone in the crowd to “take pictures and hashtag, Roloff then delved into the main themes she tried hitting in her book, A Little Me , along with her motivation for writing it in the first place. “I believe we all have our own stories to tell,” she explained. “We can learn so much from each other if we’re willing to be open.” This, of course, sums up the reason why Little People, Big World has exploded into such an unexpected hit: the Roloffs are nothing if not open with each other on air. Amy spent a bulk of her talk embracing the fact that she’s a dwarf and asking the audience to embrace the differences they have with one another, to “recognize that this is okay” and emphasizing: “You have to be willing to be vulnerable and expose yourself in order to give people a chance to overcome their issues [with diversity].” Amy also talked a whole lot about her kids — because, boy oh boy, is she proud of her sons and daughter. She even told a story about how Zach (or Zachary , as she most often referred to him as) would sometimes complain as a child about how Jeremy could do something and, due to his stature, he could not. But Amy wasn’t going to accept this as an excuse. “I told him ‘You need to come up with your own plan for handling that in that case. It may take you 15 times and Jeremy only one time to do something, but that’s okay.'” Zach has clearly taken this lesson to heart. He talks in similar fashion about his own son . This is the inscription Amy wrote in her book for my wife, who will be receiving it on August 2 for her birthday. Another lesson Amy tried to impart on her kids? Their own intrinstic value and self-worth. Take Molly, for instance. “I never told her she was beautiful when we put makeup on because I never wanted her to think she wasn’t pretty without it,” Amy said. She also described Molly as a “minimalist” who never really had any interest in being on the show — which was always just find with Amy. Amy didn’t shy away from her divorce, either. She didn’t get into some of the sordid details laid out in the memoir , but she did say the following: “Going through a divorce in the public eye… I was like, “I know I did stuff wrongm, but he did A LOT of stuff wrong.’ It took me awhile to be good with me and realize I still have something to offer and give.” What about Little People, Big World? Did Amy ever see this success coming? Heck no. “I didn’t want to do the show at first,” she admitted. “But sometimes you have to take that step outside your box. I was unsure and afraid and intimidated by how other people would respond to us.” She then confirmed that a new season of Little People, Big World is on the way . Roloff proceeded to touch on a number of topics that we’ll summarize below: – Jeremy and Audrey partly left the show because they “had a hard time” with how events on the series don’t air until six months after they occur, which is a bit weird in this age of keeping followers apprised on social media in real time. – Jacob left home at the age of 18 and it “broke my heart,” Amy said. But “I will always be here and will always love and support him.” – How did she feel when J acob blasted his family for being fake when he quit the show three years ago? She understood. “He was six years old when we started,” Amy explained. She then went on to tell a story of how she answered this question years ago when a reporter asked her about the accusation. “To Jacob, his family was a selfie,” she said in a pretty impressive metaphor. “You know, how you always make yourself look extra nice for a selfie, find the perfect angle and everything? He never got to see his family as anything except for this sort of selfie.” She added that Jacob “had to leave in order to come back,” if that makes sense, and that he’s a “fantastic uncle.” – Jacob and Isabel are not getting married on the family farm. But they will hold their wedding reception there. – She hopes Jeremy takes over the farm someday. – Audrey is due on Janauary 8. – She and Jeremy did NOT plan to have this baby! – Jeremy is hoping for a boy, but they also want to have more than two kids. – Tori is due right around Thanksgiving, but she hopes the baby arrives about a week early to separate her birthday from the holiday. – She doesn’t know if Tori and Zach have settled on a name, but “I’m not really a fan” of one of the options, she laughed. – And, lastly and perhaps most importantly, what are her kids’ favorite meals that she cooks? Spaghetti for Zachary; turkey enchillads for Jeremy; stir fried rice for Molly. “Jacob is a vegan now I think,” she joked. “So who the heck knows with him?” All in all, it was a great night with a great guest who sat and spoke with every single attendee who asked for a photo and an autograph. I was a big fan of Amy’s before. I am a huge fan now. View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed! [Updated] –
The Real Housewives of Orange County shocked some fans by making major changes to the cast for Season 14. Case in point, Orange County OG Vicki Gunvalson was demoted to Friend status, and will only appear in cameos. But as one long-time Housewife leaves the spotlight, another will actually be returning to the series! That’s right, Meghan King Edwards will return for Season 14 to stir up some drama along with the rest of the gang. Meghan’s return notably comes after a two-year asbence from the series. Just like Vicki, Meghan will only be making cameos as a Friend of the Housewives. But hey, it’s better than not being on the show at all. Meghan is expected to feature in scenes with full Housewives Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador. We first met Meghan in 2015 when she joined the Orange County crew for Season 10. Even then, Meghan didn’t live in the area full-time. Instead, she would travel frequently between Orange County and her other home in St. Louis, with her husband Jim Edmonds. Jim played for the St. Louis Cardinals at the time, but his two oldest daughters lived in Orange County. As we have previously reported, a lot has changed for Meghan since 2015. She had her first daughter, Aspen, in 2016, then twin boys Hart and Hayes in 2018. Now she lives in Missouri full time, building her dream home with her family. That all sounds dreamy, but Meghan’s family life is far from perfect. Last month it came to light that Jim was having an affair. He admitted that he “engaged in inappropriate conversation” with another woman and also exchanged dirty photos over the phone. It sounds like the infidelity didn’t go as far as it could have. But it’s certainly enough that Meghan and Jim are now publicly working on their marriage. Meghan shed some light on the process in her Monday interview with DailyMail.com “We’re still married,” Meghan said, “we’re still together, we’re not separated.” She downplayed the drama, saying “We’re in the family home, we’re in the same bed.” “We’re not having therapy, we’re talking,” Meghan added. Choosing to trust someone who just betrayed your whole family is a big gamble, but Meghan seems unafraid. “I’ve just got to have faith that he’s not going to screw up,” Meghan explained. “But I know he’s not going to screw up,” she added, “He really wants to make this work.” And Jim’s shady behavior isn’t the only dilemma on Meghan’s plate. Meghan also revealed this month that her son Hart has “irreversible brain damage.” “Hart has minor Periventricular Leukomalacia on both sides of his brain,” Meghan shared on her blog earlier this month. She wrote that the condition causes Hart to have slightly delayed physical milestones as he grows. The condition also includes rigid muscles, stiff joints, and weakness in his lower back. According to Meghan, Hart could be diagnosed with cerebral palsy in the future, and will continue to be monitored. We are wishing Meghan all the best for her marriage and her family’s health. It seems like she’s going through an awful lot right now. Fans will have a chance to cheer Meghan on soon! The Real Housewives of Orange County will return next month on Bravo.

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Another season of Love and Hip-Hop Atlanta has come to an end. Nina Parker rounds up the group again tonight to rehash all the drama. These are some of the highlights: Karlie and Joc clear some things up about the Houston trip. They didn’t have sex. However, Joc was inappropriate with Karlie. He flirted heavily with her and mentioned nothing about Kendra. Karlie apologized for her part in the situation and said she wouldn’t have disrespected Kendra if had Joc mentioned her. But, she’s on the couch with Joc and wearing his engagement ring so all is forgiven. Stevie J apologized to Mimi for blindsiding her with the news about his marriage to Faith…of all things to apologize about. Mimi doesn’t think Stevie is genuine. Then we revisit all the times Stevie, Ty and Mimi got into it. In short, Mimi and Ty are still on a different page from Stevie. It seems like he’s not going to be honest about his antagonistic behavior toward them. Speaking of family drama, CeCe, Momma Dee, Scrappy and Bambi seem to be on one accord. The grandmothers finally stopped beefing. But Erica Dixon is another story. She joins the group on stage and gets into how herself, Scrappy, and Bambi are not getting along. Rasheeda the Love Guru chimes in and tells them the obvious, which is that they have to start getting along for the sake of their kids. Then we touch on Karlie Redd’s drama with Mo. At first, when the season started she talked about how amazing he was. By the time the season ended, she mentioned that he’s verbally aggressive toward her, etc. We ended the show not knowing where they were but Karlie says they’re still engaged and working on their stuff. Mimi and Rasheeda are worried about her because they don’t think she is happy. Mimi and Rasheeda ain’t lying either. Then we touch on Karlie Redd and Pooh’s season-long drama about whether Karlie had a threesome with Pooh and her husband, Hiriam Hicks, or not. Karlie Redd got a lie detector test during the season (that we didn’t see on camera) and claims the test shows that She’s telling the truth. But you know what show this is. So, Vh1 gave Karlie their own test with their own polygraph expert, just in case Karlie is lying, and Nina Parker will read the results…next week. Yup, we got left hanging. In case your wondering, Pooh got one too but she used her own person so it’s not considered valid unless she uses VH1’s person. Pooh refuses to use Vh1’s person, so that’ that. Womp womp.
