Caryn Chandler: Matt Roloff and Baby Jackson Have My Whole Heart!!

Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has been hounded by engagement rumors for a while now. To be fair, he and girlfriend Chandler are very close. She spends a lot of time with him — and with his family. In the cutest new photo, the two of them are spending some quality time with their adorable grandbaby, Jackson. Caryn Chandler posted a cozy pic of her with boyfriend Matt Roloff and precious baby Jackson Roloff. Jackson is happily seated between the two adults, and they are all dressed in layers for warmth. “It’s freezing in Portland …” Caryn acknowledges in her captions. “But,” she continues. “My heart melts when I hang with these two.” Good company really is the best way to endure any weather. We cannot get over how unspeakably adorable baby Jackson’s face is in this photo. Just look at him! Matt loved the pic so much that he shared it on his own Instagram. “This little farmer is soooo easy to hang with!” Matt praised Jackson in the caption. “He should write the book,” Matt suggested. “How to manage a grandpa!” That is super cute. Though some people believe that Caryn Chandler will murder Matt Roloff, most fans are onboard with this relationship. That said, seeing Caryn go from employee to part of the family hasn’t been easy for everyone. Almost a year ago, Amy Roloff opened up about how that romance impacts her as a grandmother. “Seeing her with Jackson [and the other family members] … It’s difficult,” Amy confessed in May. She admitted: “It’s definitely been the hardest thing to watch.” Being honest with yourself about your feelings is the first step to working through them. Good for her for facing that head-on. Caryn has been close to the Roloff family for a long time. When Matt and Amy separated and divorced, it was a huge adjustment for everyone involved. When they each began to date again, that too was a big deal for them and for their family. But Matt is dating Caryn and Amy is dating Chris Marek. Some fans still grumble or hurl wild accusations that these new love interests are just gold diggers or interested in fame. But most care about Amy and Matt and are thrilled to see them so happy. Unfortunately, there is a dark side to some of the trolls who like to bash Caryn and Chris. The best of them just wanted to see Matt and Amy reconcile because they liked them as a couple. (Even then, they shouldn’t be bombarding anyone with hate) The worst of them — the ones who seem so suspicious of Caryn and Chris — are dealing with prejudice. It seems that some of them just don’t believe that a tall person would fall in love with a little person. They need to work through their issues and get those horrible misconceptions out of their minds. People fall in love all of the time. Matt and Amy’s kids had to adjust to their parents’ new love lives, but they’re all adults. But this is nothing but a boon to their grandchildren, who essentially get two more grandparents out of the deal. It’s so sweet to see Caryn and Matt spending time with Jackson. We’re glad that they are all keeping warm during this cold weather. We know that the winter has been intense, but a lot of us will be missing these temps in a few months.

Meghan Markle: Did She Just Reveal Her Due Date?!

From the start of Meghan Markle’s pregnancy , the tabloid press has obsessively agonized over two questions. For starters, they want to know if Meghan is having a boy or a girl . Hilariously, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex recently stymied those investigative efforts by revealing that they intend to take a “fluid approach” to gender while raising their first child. How hilarious would it be to watch Piers Morgan progressively lose what’s left of his mind as Meg and Harry force the British press to wait years before revealing their child’s gender? The other big question, of course, is that of Meghan’s due date . That one’s been the cause of international speculation for months now, but Meg and Harry have consistently kept mum. (Get it? Mum?! Like, what British people call their … eh, forget it.) “No, it’s actually very sweet. It’s a very sweet, nurturing thing to ask. We’re nearly there!” And folks, when Meg says she’s “nearly there” she’s really not joking. Early reports pinned down Meghan’s due date at some point between late March and early April. And those who have been closely monitoring her bump (the term “royal-watchers” is quite literal sometimes) say the duchess looks as though she’ll be ready to welcome a bundle of joy within a matter of weeks. Unfortunately, Meg’s “nearly there” comments are probably the closest we’ll get to an official due date. Of course, it’s not as though the royal couple is keeping the big day under wraps for Kardashian-esque reasons. In fact, they’d probably prefer that the UK tabloids stop speculating, and we’re sure they’d like as little attention as possible on the big day. The reason why Meg, Harry, and all royals keep such details on the down-low is for security purposes. With Meghan, there’s the added concern that she’ll be giving birth at the hospital that’s nearest to her home in Frogmore Cottage, and not in the same London hospital in which Kate Middleton delivered her children. We’re sure Meg’s security detail has the place mapped out, but still — it’s a facility with which they’re unfamiliar. Whatever the case, Meghan’s baby shower is complete; she and Harry have set up shop at Frogmore; and the world is ready for the arrival of another royal baby. Everyone’s excited — except, of course, for the many Meg haters who refuse to shut up on social media. It’ll be harder than ever for these dolts to find fault with the duchess in the weeks after she becomes a mom. Sadly, many of them may be forced to take up hobbies. It’s a real tragedy, when you think about it. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!

Paris Jackson: Concerned Michael Jackson Molestation Claims Will Derail Her Career?!

On Sunday night, the controversial documentary Leaving Neverland made its debut on HBO. The film details some of the most shocking child molestation claims against the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. While Jackson shelled out tens of millions in court settlements to numerous families during his lifetime, the film focuses on the accusations of two of the singer’s alleged victims, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, both of whom are now grown men. The film leaves little doubt as to Jackson’s guilt, and many have reported finding the content so appalling that they have been unable to watch the film in its entirety. As with the Bill Cosby case, even if one is of the misguided opinion that the alleged victims are all lying, the perpetrator has confessed to enough over the years to earn a full-blown “canceled” verdict in the court of pop culture. Jackson’s family has likened Leaving Neverland to ” a public lynching ,” but even if there is some bias on the filmmakers’ part (and that’s a big “if”), the facts of the case speak for themselves. And when it comes to the investigation against Jackson, the facts may be enough to make you physically ill. All of this puts Michael’s three children in a very awkward position — particularly the disgraced music legend’s only daughter, Paris Jackson. Among her siblings, Paris is the one who’s most determined to make a name for herself in the entertainment industry. And she’s also been the most vocal defender of her father’s innocence. According to a new report from The Sun , Paris is concerned that the new allegations against her father might serve to derail her acting career — which she apparently hasn’t gotten around to launching yet. “Paris had hoped to launch a successful career in acting but fears Leaving Neverland has ruined her chances of it taking off,” an insider tells the magazine. “She was in a movie last year but believes the documentary is already scaring directors away because the abuse her father is accused of may put movie goers off her,” the source adds. “It all comes down to marketing.  “The worry is that any movies she stars in will be derailed if Michael’s abuse scandal is all people think about when they see her on screen. She wants to act but knows this could affect those plans.” Well, if Paris is willing to listen to reason and stop blindly defending her father in the face of a growing mountain of evidence that points to his guilt. then she’ll likely be just fine. We understand that can’t be an easy thing, but then again, neither is building a successful acting career without the help of industry connections and incredible wealth. That’s the downside of success that’s built on a foundation of nepotism: When your career is dependent on someone else’s legacy, you can never be fully in control. But we wouldn’t go shedding too many tears for Paris’ job prospects — she and her brothers have inherited an estate valued at over $1 billion dollars.

Paola Mayfield: Mom-Shamed After Doing THIS to Her Baby!!

As 90 Day Fiance star Paola Mayfield recently confessed , motherhood is difficult. Unfortunately, trolls can make that even worse. Recently, she got mom-shamed by one of the most dangerous, insidious groups on the entire internet: anti-vaxxers. Why? Because baby Axel received his first vaccination and she dared to share it. Paola Mayfield shared this precious breastfeeding photo, but that’s not what attracted (most of) the mom-shaming. “My baby boy had his first vaccination today,” Paola shares.  At 2 months old, this could be for any number of things, including polio. This is a standard age at which to begin vaccinations. “Axel was so brave just like his mommy,” Paol praises. She then shares something worrisome: “@russ_mayfield has been reading The Vaccine Book by Dr. Sears.” That book is notoriously filled with information that is not embraced by the medical community. “We have decided that we want to give our son specific vaccinations and avoid potential risks and side effects,” she reveals. Hmmm. On the positive side, Pao includes some very important tags: “#provaccine #proinformation.” Some of her commenters replied, including one who wrote “brave.” “Certain people tend to be nasty about anything I do,” Pao admits. “So I’m used to dealing with this lol.” Another commented that it must have been hard for her to watch her baby get a shot. “I was already crying before he got it,” Paola admits. “But then I was so proud [at] how brave he was!” “He didn’t cry much,” Pao shares. “And I had my boob ready for him. That helped a lot!” One commenter scolded Paola for vaccinating Axel, even if she may be skipping a shot or two. “Unfortunately,” warns this unintentionally hilarious comment. “It only takes one.” “Did it ever occur to you that Big PHARMA profits from our illness,” writes another wingnut. That comment continues: “and the government agencies struggle and fail at preventing them from harming the public?” “Paola you going to see when you baby boy I change after the vaccine ! And maybe get the autism too,” accuses another. That commenter adds: “poor baby ! My baby almost die after his shot never I vaccin me and my baby or my dogs.” “My grandma had measles lived to see another day this is a joke just like everyone’s scared of the flu your programmed,” another bonkers comment reads. Notably, the so-and-so survived argument is known as survivor bias .  “That’s funny,” claims another. “Because it’s a well known fact that vaccines suppress the immune system.” No. “By the way, vaccines shed,” that same commenter continues falsely. “So newly vaccinated people are actually the ones spreading it.” ( No vaccines on the furniture during shedding season!) “Enjoy your viruses and diseases!” concludes this poorly informed individual. “I’ve done my research. You obviously haven’t.” Paola also received (plenty of) comments from ardent supporters. “BRAVO Paola & Russ you just block all those haters and anti-vaccination activists and people who are sending you hate mail,” writes one. “Oh that’s a hard day for mommy,” agrees another. “Doing great protecting your baby with vaccines.” That same commenter adds: “All my kids, grandchildren have been vaccinated and they are perfect.” Study after study after study reminds people that vaccines are effective, generally very safe, and vital — but anecdotes don’t hurt. “I’m not trying to be a troll, but I am a registered nurse as is my husband,” writes a concerned supporter. “I believe that educating yourself on vaccines is thee best,” she affirms. She notes: “do you know that dr Sears …his license is on probation for giving exemptions to vaccination to children that he has never seen or examined.” “I would be careful about misinformation about vaccines,” another cautions. “Dr Sears is was under investigation and almost had his medical license revoked for medical negligence,” that commenter warns. It’s true. Paola’s tag may be pro-vaccination, but the book Russ is reading is said to be on the medical fringes, at best. Another commenter simply wrote: “Stop flashing ur boob.” View Slideshow: Paola Mayfield: 90 Day Fiance Star’s Hottest Photos That Russ Doesn’t Want You to See!

Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott: Officially Still Together Following Cheating Scandal

Last week, Kylie Jenner accused Travis Scott of cheating on her during his current US tour. From the very start, Kylie’s “evidence” of Scott’s infidelity appeared to be rather flimsy. Nevertheless, many rallied around the 21-year-old and urged her to kick Travis to the curb. In retrospect, Travis may have been a victim of the times. After all, part of the rush to condemn him was a result of the fact that Kylie had recently been betrayed in a different cheating scandal that had nothing to do with Scott. As you’ve likely heard by now, Khloe Kardashian’s baby daddy, Tristan Thompson was recently caught cheating with Jordyn Woods , who happens to be Kylie’s longtime best friend. Although maybe we should say former best friend at this point Anyway, insiders say the Jordyn situation has made Kylie “paranoid” about being betrayed, which may be why she was so quick to believe questionable evidence against Travis. Fortunately, though she hit the roof when she first heard the accusations, it appears that Kylie held off on making any rash decisions. Insiders say that despite reports to the contrary, Kylie and Travis are still very much together. That claim seems to be corroborated by Travis’ shout-out to Kylie at his Madison Square Garden show over the weekend. “Remember to keep your family first,” Scott told the crowd before referring to Kylie as his “wifey.” Scott’s loving tribute comes as a surprise to many fans. When the rapper deleted his Instagram account over the weekend, many assumed he was bracing himself for a tidal wave of bad press. Ya know, the kind of bad press that might ensue after a male celebrity gets caught cheating on the mother of his child. But it looks as though he and Kylie are still going strong. As for Jordyn and Kylie, well — it seems the billionaire cosmetics mogul only has so much forgiveness to go around. “At first the family thought Kylie would eventually take Jordyn back, but now they don’t think that she will,” a source close to the situation tells us Weekly. Obviously, that might change with time. But for now, at least, it looks like Jordyn gave up the good life for a one-night stand. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner: Finally Ready to DUMP Travis Scott?!

Katherine Helmond, Beloved Who’s the Boss Star, Dies at 89

Katherine Helmond, a Tony Award-winning actress likely best known for her hilarious role on the sitcom Who’s the Boss, died on February 23 from Alzheimer’s Disease complications. She was 89 years old. According to various outlets, Helmond passed away at her home in Los Angeles. A veteran of the acting industry, Helmond all starred as Jessica Tate on another popular ABC comedy, Soap; along with portraying Doris Sherman – the widowed owner of the fictional NFL team the Orlando Breakers – on ABC’s Coach. Perhaps you also recognize her as Lois Whelan, the upper-class mother of Patricia Heaton’s character on Everybody Loves Raymond. But it was the role of Mona that truly made Helmond into a television star. For all eight seasons of this program, she delightfully played the man-crazy mother of Judith Light’s Angela. Her turn as Mona earned Helmond two more Emmy nominations and a Golden Globe win in 1989; overall, the actress garnered seven Emmy nods for her work. On the big screen, Helmond appeared in a trio of Terry Gilliam movies: 1. She played the seafaring cannibal Mrs. Ogre in Time Bandits (1981). 2. She played Jonathan Pryce’s rich, cosmetic surgery-addicted mother in Brazil. 3. She played a hotel clerk in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1998). Moreover, Helmond provided the voice of Lizzie, a 1923 Ford Model T, in the three Cars movies. In a revealing 2008 interview with the Archive of American Television, Helmond explained why she made the switch from drama to comedy, saying at the time: “I was married to drunks, I got knocked around and battered and beaten and taken advantage of. “That’s one of the reasons I got switched to comedic roles. My agent said, ‘I just can’t bear to see you knocked around on television any more… We’re going to try for a sitcom.” And it obviouly turned out very well for Helmond that she did. Katherine Helmond is pictured here in a scene with Tony Danza on Who’s the Boss. In addition to her long career on the small screen, Helmond was a veteran of the stage. In 1973, she scored a Tony Award nomination for her work in Eugene O’Neill’s play The Great God Brown. “I felt I blossomed as a person when I got a chance to act,” Helmond once said. “Through all the many years now, I’ve never fallen out of love. It’s been like an incredible marriage that really worked. I enjoyed every minute of it.” Katherine Helmond is survived by her husband of 57 years. May she rest in peace. UPDATE : This is from Alyssa Milano, who played Helmond’s granddaughter on Who’s the Boss: My beautiful, kind, funny, gracious, compassionate, rock. You were an instrumental part of my life. You taught me to hold my head above the marsh! You taught me to do anything for a laugh! What an example you were! View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Noah Brown and Rhain Alisha Welcome Baby Boy!!!

Back in November, Alaskan Bush People stars Noah Brown and Rhain Alisha announced their pregnancy . This week, Noah and Rhain welcomed their baby boy — and have revealed his name. You can see an amazing photo of this Alaskan Bush Grandbaby, below. In a statement to People , the family shared the wonderful news. “Rhain and I are thrilled to announce the arrival of our son Elijah Connor Brown,” Noah proudly announces in a statement. Little baby Elijah was born on February 26. The wee one weighs in at 7 pounds 5 ounces and, at birth, measured 20 inches in length. “Mom and son are healthy and happy,” Noah adds. Speaking of his son, Noah says “he’s already working on his howl!” “Rhain is a wonderful mother already,” Noah praises. He continues: “I am truly in awe of her.” “And,” Noah affirms. “We are both very grateful and excited to welcome him to our family.” “He’s happy, healthy, and just perfect,” Rhain gushes with glee. That is so sweet!! And, thanks to Noah’s teenage sister Rain, we have a picture of the precious child. “Dear Elijah Conner, I first met you at 3:30am Tuesday February 26th,” Rain writes on Instagram. “And I will never be the same,” she says. “You have forever changed my heart,” Rain shares. “And I will spend the rest of my life protecting loving and teaching you all I know.” “May the road rise to meet you, and the wind always be at your back, and the rains fall softly on your fields,” Rain quotes. “May God hold you gently in the palm of his hand,” the quote concludes. “Love you Eli,” Rain gushes. “And I love you Noah and Rhain, you are amazing parents and you will only get better with time.” Speaking to People, Billy Brown celebrated becoming a grandfather. “The day is finally here,” he says excitedly. “We’re grandparents!” “Ami is over the moon and we all feel so blessed,” Billy says. There was a time when no one in the family believed that Ami would be alive today to expereince being a grandmother. “We can’t wait to meet the handsome young man,” Billy announces. “And have them all back on the mountain soon.” Noah has at times seemed to have a strained relationship with his family. Though happily engaged to Rhain, he already had a life in mind for himself and his fiancee. He has appeared as more of a guest star on recent seasons of Alaskan Bush People . It is perfeclty normal and healthy for an adult man to have his own life — and we somehow suspect that Billy and Ami aren’t complaining. Sure, they’re not seeing their son as much as they might like. But on the plus side, they got a grandbaby out of the deal! Sounds like a fair trade to us, you know? Congratulations are in order for the entire family, but especially for Noah and Rhain. We hope to see plenty more photos in the near future! View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Meghan Markle Bullying Staff Over Home Renovations? [Report]

We’re just weeks away from Meghan Markle’s due date, and not surprisingly, the tabloids are loaded with reports about the mom-to-be stressing over last minute details. Of course, Meghan’s situation is relatable to millions, and since most media outlets live in fear of anyone considering the Duchess of Sussex even remotely likable, they had to go and put the usual “diva” spin on it. Whereas someone who is well-liked by the fickle gossip hounds of the tabloid media might be depicted as a harried mom feathering her nest while frantically attending to her many professional obligations, Meghan is saddled with the mom-zilla label. That’s not really a thing, in case you were wondering, but let’s dive into this mess, anyway: “She’s totally being a mom-zilla with the home renovation,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “Right now she is being a task-master,” the insider adds, as though that’s a bad thing. The insider goes on to claim that Meghan is — gasp! — working hard and keeping busy in the final weeks of her pregnancy. “She is not taking a break and has a long list to accomplish for the new house,” added the source. Remember Meghan’s baby shower in New York last week? The one that was criticized as decadent and wasteful by the UK media, even though there were like 12 people in attendance, and Meghan’s friends paid for the whole thing? Yeah, now the tactic has changed and Meg is being slammed for not being fully present during the event. “Even at her recent baby shower in New York City she was on the phone with people in the U.K. at all hours barking orders at them for — of all things — the paint,” says the source. The insider goes on to say that Meghan is decorating Frogmore Cottage as she sees fit, without any approval from palace officials. Sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to us, but what do we know? “She was told she needed approval and she said she didn’t care about approval because she doesn’t need approval and what she says goes,” says the insider. “She’s making demands left and right and friends worry because she is on the go all the time and simply not taking any breaks.” You almost have to marvel when the anti-Meghan invective has full-blown split personality disorder like this. Meghan is a spoiled diva, but she’s also working way too hard? Which is it? We guess when you can’t decide on a single trash-talk strategy, it’s best to just hurl all of your BS at the wall and see what sticks.
