Kenya Moore Flaunts Her New Husband Despite Real Housewives Drama!

When we heard that Kenya Moore has to choose between her new husband and her job , we figured that it was a no-brainer. Being on The Real Housewives of Atlanta brings money and fame, while marrying brings statistically shorter life expectancies for women. But Kenya is clearly experiencing that “love” emotion when it comes to Marc Daly. That’s been clear from the get-go. In fact, Kenya’s clearly so enamored that she’s showing him off on Instagram. Ever since Kenya Moore’s secret wedding , we’ve been itching to learn more about Marc Daly. But, famously, he’s reluctant to appear on The Real Housewives of Atlanta . (And by “reluctant,” we mean adamant, because it doesn’t sound like he’s budging even though it could cost Kenya Moore her job ) Reportedly, Marc has an issue with the negative way that he says that black men are portrayed on the series. He didn’t get specific, but we think that he joins others who have pointed out that RHOA portrays black men as lacking while showing white men as providers and desirable partners. (There are a lot of thoughtful critiques of how reality television portrays black people, and the trends are not pretty) We’d point out that, even as much control as producers and editors have, he might change that perceived portrayal by appearing on the show. Also, from day one we were concerned that Kenya Moore could get kicked off of the show over having a secret wedding. After all, it kind of spoils the image of “reality television” when something as big as a wedding happens off-screen. But Marc seems unwilling to step in front of the Real Housewives of Atlanta cameras. He’s clearly not universally camera-shy, though. Because look what popped up on Kenya Moore’s Instagram page on Sunday: Now, we might not know as much as we’d like about Marc Daly. But that is a man who can really fill out a shirt. And we totally get why Kenya is so besotted. (Seriously, Kenya Moore praises Marc Daly a lot) And we’re so happy for her that she’s found love. Finally . After 46 years . But we do question if Marc, or love itself, could be worth sacrificing her reality TV career. But maybe it’s unfair to put all of that pressure (or blame) on Marc. After all, The Real Housewives of Atlanta hired Kenya. If she’s too boring to put on television, that’s probably on her. If the show’s producers and editors can’t find a way to include her on the series, that sounds like it’s their problem. In neither case does Marc, who never signed up for the show to begin with, sound like the bad guy. And while Kenya’s been slow to open up about him, it sounds like Marc is a real good guy. The whole thing is almost enough to make you believe in romantic love, right? Almost . We really do hope that all of the parties involved can reach some sort of resolution soon. Whatever that might mean. (And there are some rumors floating around that she’s still negotiating, so maybe this story will have an all-around happy ending) It looks like, if push comes to shove, Kenya will choose love, and that’s all well and good. But we’d hate for her to go on this journey with Marc Daly and one day look back on this crossroads with regrets or second thoughts, you know? View Slideshow: 20 Really Big Real Housewives Scandals

7 Little Johnstons Promo: Boyfriends, Braces and A Bombshell

We don't know for certain when  7 Little Johnstons will return with Season 3 . But we do know this fun TLC reality series will turn some time this fall… … and now we have some idea of what viewers can expect when it does, in fact, return with new episodes. The network has released a lengthy trailer for 7 Little Johnstons, giving us a look at how the family will try to eat far healthier when we next see them on our small screens. To sort of hilarious results. What else can we expect from the program, which centers on Amber Johnston, Trent Johnston and their kids, all of whom have Achondroplasia Dwarfism, a genetic condition that affects their size? (Two of these kids are biological, Jonah and Elizabeth; while three are adopted, Anna from Russia, Alex from South Korea, and Emma from China.) It looks as if one of the daughters will have an interested suitor, but will be become her full-fledged boyfriend? And it also looks as if the family will be the victim of some ignorant bullies who drop the “M Word” while all seven Johnstons are out and about for what they hoped would be a day of simple family enjoyment. And it also looks like a major bombshell will be dropped. What does Trent tell his kids that elicit so many tears? Why does he feel the need to preface this announcement by telling the children they'll remain his “priority” forever? That's what we want to know. And that's what we'll need to wait several weeks to find out, unfortunately. What is your best guess? What is the information Trent is about to drop on his relatives? Watch the following sneak peek and try to figure it out.

Rob Kardashian: Family Fears Relapse, Suicide Attempt in Wake of Blac Chyna Scandal

In case you somehow haven’t heard, Rob Kardashian went off the rails in frightening fashion on social media yesterday. Rob attacked Blac Chyna on Instagram , accusing her of cheating on him and being addicted to various hard drugs. When Rob began posting nude photos of Chyna , seemingly as an act of revenge inspired by her alleged infidelity, Instagram shut down his account, but he continued his tirade on Twitter. Finally, Rob simmered down and stopped posting, but only after committing what many have described as a sex crime against his ex and making himself vulnerable to losing custody of his and Blac’s 7-month-old daughter, Dream. Now, his family and friends reportedly fear that the worst is yet to come. Before he met Chyna, Rob was reclusive  and prone to compulsive overeating and self-medication through alcohol and drug use. Sources close to the family tell Radar Online that his family is concerned he’ll return to his old ways in the wake of his public meltdown. “It seems like no one can do anything to help Rob and they have all tried,” says one insider. “He is not working out and he is not eating healthy. He is really down on himself right now and no one can do anything because he shuts his family out whenever they try.” The source adds that Rob has fallen back into troubling behavioral patterns that are making it difficult for him to serve as any kind of father figure to his daughter: “He stays up late and then sleeps all day and seems to feel like he will never be happy again. He is blaming Chyna for everything,” the insider claims. Fans have pointed out a reference to Rob’s alleged suicidal tendencies in a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians . In the scene, Kris Jenner’s boyfriend Corey Gamble is seen consoling Rob after a particularly bad fight with Chyna. View Slideshow: Rob Kardashian: Roasted on Twitter for Blac Chyna Slut-Shaming “People that don’t know you are going to get the idea that you were suicidal,” Gamble remarks at one point. Some are now pointing to the exchange as an indication that Rob’s troubles go even deeper than the public realizes. Here’s hoping the troubled 30-year-old is able to get the help he needs before he does further damage to his own life and the lives of those around him.

John Blackwell Jr. Dies; Beloved Prince Drummer Was 43

John Blackwell Jr., a musician best known for having toured with Prince as the artist’s main drummer for over a decade, passed away on Tuesday. He was 43 years old. The exact cause of death is unknown at this time, but Blackwell was diagnosed with a brain tumor last year after falling ill and undergoing a number of tests in Japan. The popular drummer’s wife, Yaritza, who updates her husband’s social media accounts, shared the news Tuesday on Instagram via an image of her grasping his hand. She wrote that he died “peacefully” in her company and added: “Thanks God for his life and thanks everyone for their support.” Last July, his wife set up a GoFundMe account to cover Blackwell’s medical expenses; it has raised over $78,000 to date. According to USA Today, the Hillsborough County Medical Examiner’s Office in Tampa has been asked for further information on Blackwell’s passing, but has not yet responded to this request Blackwell took to stages around the world alongside Prince for 15 years. He was well known and beloved for his unique style of drumming, having graduated from Berklee College of Music before being recruited by Prince in 2000 to play in his band New Power Generation. Blackwell also performed with Patti LaBelle, Justin Timberlake and Cameo, among other big-time artists and singers. He tragically lost an arm over the last year, as he underwent various surgeries in an attempt overcome his diagnosis. In the fall of 2016, Blackwell told Tampa TV station WTSP-TV that Prince was like a father figure to him. The two friends were extremely close. He said another close acquintence had recently told him that he could just imagine Prince calling for him to play as part of his band up in heaven. “I can hear Prince now say, ‘I’ll just call John.’ No, you ain’t! I don’t want to do that gig. Not yet,” Blackwell, who took up drumming at the age of three, said at the time. In response to his passing, many others within the world of music expressed their sadness and sent their condolences on social media.

Jessa Duggar on Raising Two Kids: It’s SO Chaotic!

If you watch Counting On online , you know that the Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald are taking her parents’ approach to family planning and seem to be in a race to hit double-digit offspring before they turn 30. Back in February,  Jessa welcomed her second child , a boy named Henry Wilberforce. Henry’s arrival came just 15 months after the birth of Jessa’s first son , Spurgeon. So these days, Jessa and husband Ben Seewald are raising two kids under the age of two – an undertaking that no doubt puts their patience to the test on a daily basis. Jessa isn’t one to complain (We’re pretty sure Duggar women are trained from a young age to keep perma-grins affixed to their faces at all times.), but in a preview for Monday’s episode of Counting On , the 24-year-old confesses that her situation can be trying at times. “I kind of expected it to be a challenge going from one to two kids — I feel like every day is different,” Jessa says in the clip. “Some days it’s very, very simple. Other days, it’s a little more chaotic.” We imagine “a little more chaotic” is Jessa’s euphemistic way of saying there are days when she looks at the pile of dirty diapers and wants to rip her hair out by the roots. Things are a bit less hectic on Ben Seewald’s end, as the Duggars’ have basically added an 11th commandment to their Bible that forbids men from lifting a finger around the house. But being unemployed and under no obligation to assist in the raising of his children didn’t stop Ben from offering his own two cents on life in the Seewald household: “Since Henry’s birth, things have been a little more busy in the Seewald house,” Ben tells producers in the preview. “One adjustment going from one child to two is there are so many diapers and they pile up so fast. We gotta take the trash out a lot more often.” We’re guessing Jessa cracked and let out a terrifying Heath Ledger Joker laugh when she heard Ben complain about taking the trash out more often. If she didn’t, she deserves some sort of prize. Ben should probably go ahead and get a job before Jessa disappears with the kids and goes full Gone Girl on his ass.

Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta Season 6 Episode 16 Recap: Is Kirk the Father?

Viewers have been clamoring to learn the truth about the paternity of Jasmine Washington’s baby, and we finally got some answers about it on Love & Hip Hop Season 6 Episode 16 .  If you watch Love & Hip Hop online , you will know that Jasmine has been at odds with many of those close to her over the persistent baby daddy rumors.  When the episode got underway, Kirk was at odds with Shirleen as the trip to Jamaica reached a conclusion. Al Shirleen wanted was for Kirk to admit all of the bad things he did to Rasheeda.  Hey, it’s not too much to ask after all of the crap she has been put through this season alone. Kirk decided it was best to go on the offensive and blamed Shirleen for trying to break up the family.  Um, is Kirk deluded? Why would he even think to trash Shirleen at a moment like this? This should make Rasheeda’s decision about him a little easier.  Shirleen seemed to think that the best course of action was to leave the situation, because, well, she did not want to be called a homewrecker.  Rasheeda caught up with her mother back in Atlanta, and things were not great.  That’s the first time I’ve ever seen him that mad and I don’t know why he’s mad at me. The most important thing is the DNA. Everybody else asks him that question,” Shirleen explains, apparently still irate about the whole thing.  Rasheeda went on to chat about Kirk giving her a breakdown of his money and properties in the event they were going ahead with a separation.  Rasheeda then noticed a letter from Jasmine, apologizing for everything that’s happened since she appeared on the scene.  “You destroyed my life. I don’t f**k with you,” Rasheeda revealed in her confessional while saying the DNA test results were enclosed.  Logan is NOT the father, meaning Kirk is a fair bet to be the man we all thought he was.  Elsewhere, Tammy Rivera organized a meeting between Tommie and her mother, Samantha. Yes, this was always going to be a drama-filled moment for the series.  Tommie has so much anger towards Samantha for not being around for much of her young life, so it made sense that they would at least try to right the ship.  Deb appeared and went toe-to-toe with Samantha for not listening to Tommie. Instead, she only seemed concerned with saying she was away for a reason.  In the end, Samantha and Tommie managed to fix their relationship, but something tells us they are not going to be friendly this soon.  Finally, Stevie J met up with Joseline to attempt to work things out. He was still annoyed about the way Joseline treated his daughters and felt like she needed to apologize.  Joseline did not let him get a word in, saying he should go to New York to appear on Wendy Williams and to fire his new artist, Estelita Quintero. No, we’re not kidding. Petty? Yes. Typical Joseline? Of course.  When Stevie decided to not agree to Joseline’s terms, she threatened that she would move to Miami, but Stevie stood his ground and told her to stop using Bonnie Bella as a piece of the puzzle.  Later, Stevie revealed he would continue to support Estelita Quintero, and his daughters were ecstatic.  However, Joseline revealed she may not appear on the show ever again after some drama with production.  What do you think about all of this? Sound off below! View Slideshow: 15 AMAZING Moments from Love & Hip Hop

Tiger Woods Completes Intensive Treatment Program: What Did He Say?

Tiger Woods was arrested on DUI charges last month after police in Jupiter, Florida noticed the famous golfer was driving in bizarre fashion.  In the aftermath, it was revealed that Woods was not drunk. Instead, he was under the influence of a cocktail of prescription drugs.  The issue at hand was put down to back surgery the 41-year-old had, and he allegedly took a bad reaction to the painkillers prescribed to him by doctors at the time.  Tiger recognized that he did need some help in a statement shortly after the incident.  “I’m currently receiving professional help to manage my medications and the ways that I deal with back pain and a sleep disorder,” Woods said at the time. “I want to thank everyone for the amazing outpouring of support and understanding especially the fans and players on tour.” While this proved Tiger showed he was remorseful for what went down, not everyone felt like he was taking the treatment seriously.  He was spotted out and about with his kids, presumably meaning he was not in an in-patient facility. Some felt that he was using the treatment as a tactic to get a lighter sentence.  On top of that, the treatment has now been completed, with Tiger taking to Twitter to let his followers know this was not something he was just going to brush under the rug.  “I recently completed an out of state private intensive program,” he said in the statement. “I will continue to tackle this going forward with my doctors, family, and friends. I am so very thankful for all the support I’ve received.” With the treatment over, Woods is scheduled to appear in court on July 8. We’re unsure what the court date will hold for the gold legend, but we’ll have more clarity in the coming days.  What do you think of all of this? Sound off below!

Donald Trump Just Sent His Most Ridiculous Tweet Yet

The president in no way, form or fashion has ever promoted or encouraged violence. If anything, quite the contrary. So said Deputy White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders earlier this week. Fast forward a couple days… and Donald Trump has posted what may be his most ridiculous and controversial Tweet to date; which, we know, is saying A LOT. In the video below, however, which the President of the United States shared on his social media account on Saturday morning, Trump has edited an appearance he made for the WWE back in 2007. In the footage, he is beating up on the CNN logo, continuing his feud against the cable news network and directly contracting the Sanders quote above. If this isn't an encouragement of violence against the press, we're not sure what is. This is the fourth straight day Trump has used the most powerful platform on the planet to rail against the media, following a bizarre rant against Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski . We could have said this many times in the past, but he's legitimately coming across as completely unhinged these says. Twitter is more concerned than usual about the mental state of our Commander-in-Chief. Here are just a few examples of what is being said about the President: In a perfectly-worded response, CNN shot back as follow today: It is a sad day when the President of the United States encourages violence against reporters. Clearly, Sarah Huckabee Sanders lied when she said the President had never done so. Instead of preparing for his overseas trip, his first meeting with Vladimir Putin, dealing with North Korea and working on his health care bill, he is instead involved in juvenile behavior far below the dignity of his office. We will keep doing our jobs. He should start doing his. Watch the controversial Trump video below:
