On Sunday night, Keeping Up With The Kardashians returned for Season 17. Khloe and Tristan drama took center stage for a lot of reasons, but there is also a medical drama unfolding on the show. Kim has a rash of unexplained symptoms, and when she underwent a medical screening, doctors began to fear the worst. “Today I woke up,” Kim narrates while in the car with Khloe. “And my hands are a bit swollen.” Unlike millions of Americans, who either don't have insurance or can't realistically afford to use it, Kim can go to the doctor about it. “I think it's my anxiety,” Kim then hopefully suggests, noting that her fourth child is on the way via gestational carrier. It is not uncommon for people to suggest that their ailments are psychosomatic in order to brush aside more serious worries. Unfortunately, wishful thinking and denial are not the same as a medical screening. “I just am, like, freaking out,” Kim then says in a voiceover while footage shows her at the hospital. Speaking to the konfessional kamera , Kim says: “I have a baby on the way, I have law school.” “It just really can scare you when you start really thinking about how much this is gonna change my life,” Kim laments. She has already experienced swollen joints, headaches, and general fatigue. At the hospital, she undergoes a screening. And when she hears the results at home, the cameras are there to capture her reaction. “As far as your results …” her doctor tells her as delicately as he can. “Your antibodies are positive for Lupus.” “And,” he continues. “Rheumatoid arthritis.” Those are both devastating autoimmune disorders in which your own immune system turns upon your body and attacks it. Symptoms include agonizing pain, a lowered quality of life, and either condition can shorten life expectancy by decades. Lupus attacks the entire body. Rheumatoid arthritis attacks the body's joints and can warm fingers into gnarled, immobile talons. Kylie may not be a medical expert, but as she sits and listens to her big sister's diagnosis, she visibly tears up. Kim admits to her doctor: “So I don't, like, know what that means.” Dr. Daniel Wallace gives it to her straight: “You'd have, in addition to swollen joints, you'd have fevers, rashes, mouth sores, be really tired.” He does point out that there is absolutely hope. “But,” he notes. “Sometimes you can get false positives with these screenings.” By this point, Kris and Khloe have gathered around to also hear the news. This is when Kim confesses: “I'm freaking out.” Kylie remarks that not knowing for sure is “the scariest part,” which is fair. Through carefully dabbed-away tears, Kim shares: “I'll know on Friday.” Kim did such a good job of staying calm during the call. Afterwards, it's no surprise that she cries. Kris gives Kim some solid advice: “stay really positive until we get some results.” Kim acknowledges how helpful that suggestion is, even if it's difficult or even impossible to follow. “You know, you really do get in your head and think about the worst possible things that can happen,” Kim notes. “So, for the next few days it's gonna be really hell…” she characterizes. Kim admits that she will be “living, wondering what I have, what's going on, and how to fix this.” Things seem bleak now, but hopefully next week's episode will deliver some very good news.

Meanwhile, Ghost learned that he can’t really trust anyone when Tommy popped up alive and well at his side chick’s funeral. To make matters worse, his soon to be ex-wife confirmed she knew his former business partner wasn’t dead. The episode closed out with Dre learning of Angela’s death which was the feds worst nightmare fearing he won’t testify against Alicia Jimenez. Dre Has More Than Nine Lives Source: Power / Starz T his week’s episode picks right up where last week’s left off. Jerry is getting ready to take Dre to testify against Alicia Jimenez. Before they can leave the house where they hiding Dre and his daughter, Jerry notices a shadowy figure creepy around the front door. As expected, Jimenez hitmen bust in the safehouse taking out the federal agents left and right leaving just Dre, his daughter and Jerry still alive. With some quick thinking, Jerry manages to take out the remaining thugs but does get shot in the process. Dre seizes the moment to pick up a gun from one of the deceased agents and with no remorse kills a begging Jerry in front of his daughter. With everyone dead, Dre decides to take his daughter and run because he knows the Jimenez will hunt continue to hunt him and his daughter. He doesn’t get too far and is arrested by agents at the train station, and they bring him back into custody. Saxe Is Under Some Serious Pressure Source: Power / Starz S axe is having a hard time trying to prove that Ghost was the one who killed Angela Valdez. The death of Jerry Donovan doesn’t help either and only puts more pressure on him thanks to his new boss. Warner tells Saxe that now it’s his business to see to it that Dre testifies against Alicia Jimenez cause if she somehow walks, Saxe is in big trouble. He also has that illegal bug he gave to Proctor’s ex-wife out there hoping he can get some info from that as well. Speaking of the bug, he hasn’t gotten that smoking gun he needs yet but almost does when Tommy stops by Proctor’s house. Before Tommy can say anything damaging to either him or Ghost, Proctor’s daughter comes back and takes the bookbag with the listening device attached to it upstairs. Saxe also has Dre in his custody now that Jerry is gone, so he plans to use him as well in his quest to get Ghost. Team Tate Is Shaken Up Source: Power / Starz R ashad Tate has big dreams of becoming Governor of NYC and won’t stop at nothing to get there. We saw just how ruthless he is last week when he beat up his campaign manager. This week Tate is knocking boots with the same campaign manager’s girlfriend or wife, either or Councilman Tate is totally foul. While he is having sex with her, he gets a call from the DNC, and they inform him they are sending him a care package to help boost his growing campaign. What Tate doesn’t know that the care package isn’t money, but it’s Ramona Garrity who walks in Tate’s campaign headquarters and fires half his staff. Her job is to “stress test” Tate’s operation on behalf of the DNC before they send any money his way. That also means she wants to know more information about his supporters, especially one James St. Patrick, who has been all over the news. The DNC really wants to win in New York and feel Ramona and her team can make that happen. Now unfortunately for Tate, Ramona popping up might be useful for Ghost. He’s already fed up because nothing is happening with the Queens Child Project building and he is also running low on funds. Garrity seems to have an eye for Ghost, why does it always seem to be the powerful women on this show have a thing for ain’t sh*t men? Ghost can sense the lust, and he’s obviously feeding off it and is working Garrity, so much to the point, she wants to use him and his estranged wife to hammer home Tate’s message locally. Ghost quickly tells Ramona that he and Tasha are heading towards divorce and her eyes light up a like a Christmas tree. Tate is stunned at the revelation, but he can’t go against Garrity. Now, this wouldn’t be Power if there was some sneaky mess going on right? Both Garrity and Tate meet up with Tasha to enlist her help despite Ghost telling them he wants to work alone. Knowing that they need her, Tasha uses the moment to get the daycare license and other things she needs to get her new “legitimate business” off and running. Riq Is Learning The Drug Game Is Hard Source: Power / Starz R iq, aka Ghost 2.0, is the big man on campus now. He’s got some money rolling and a reliable team, but he’s running out of pills to push. He has one stash of pills his dead mentor, Kanan gave him stashed in his deceased sister’s room, but he knows it’s not enough. Riq is quickly learning the drug game isn’t easy but gets comfort from his newest recruit, aka Tasha 2.0. The two have a heart-to-heart convo over a game of chess with Riq revealing a lot is going on in his life. Especially with his dad knowing he lied to him about knowing Tommy was alive. Riq also opens up about his sister’s death and how he feels alone after losing his twin. His new friend/associate assures him she is here for the troubled teen. Before the scene closes, Riq tells her that he has no more pills because his drug connect, Kanan is dead. Will Jason’s Plan To Kidnap Alicia Jiminez Somehow Unite Ghost and Tommy? Source: Power / Starz Jason is really taking advantage of the beef between Ghost and Tommy. Last week he found a way to get money from the former friends and now this week he is using them to take out the competition. Jason hatches a plan to kidnap Alicia Jimenez from federal custody while on her way to trial. Instead of carrying out the scheme himself, he recruits Tommy and Ghost separately giving each of them an incentive if they successfully accomplish the goal. While we really have no idea what Ghost planned to kidnap Alicia, it was Tommy and his goons surprisingly who had the best scheme to capture the drug lord. After Alicia takes a sip of a spiked glass of water that sends her to the bathroom, Tommy’s new ride-or-die chick, Keisha sends her boo the message that Jimenez is passed out in the bathroom. 2-Bit and Spank show up disguised as EMT workers and wheel here out on a stretcher and load her up into a stolen ambulance. Ghost in his very lame disguise is watching all of it go down right before his eyes in disbelief. He immediately wraps up his attempt at kidnapping Alicia and hops in his escape vehicle. Before he can leave he sees Tommy, and they make eye contact with Egan acknowledging he outsmarted Ghost with a tip of his hat. When the drugged Alicia wakes up, she refuses to reveal her trafficking network, her decision to not talk earns her a bullet to the head. With her dead, Saxe no longer needs Dre and threatens to take his daughter away, but if he agrees to help him nail Ghost, Saxe will pull some favors him. Dre reluctantly agrees and even points out he saw Ghost at the courthouse, but Saxe doesn’t believe him. Looks like Dre has his work cut out for him once again. Ghost, of course, is furious and runs to go talk to Proctor about his failed kidnapping attempt. While breaking the down the entire situation to his attorney tells him that Tommy stopped by asking for the same info. Ghost also reveals to Proctor that he is broke and needs money as soon as possible. Proctor tells his client to think slowly and asks him who can lend him money? With desperate times come desperate measures with Ghost reaching out to Simon Stern for help. Source: Power / Starz Knowing that both he and Tommy are getting played by Jason, Ghost decides to call his former “brother” and suggests they team-up one last time to take out the drug connect. Tommy, on the other hand, is not with that idea and tells Ghost the next time he sees him he’s going to cancel Christmas on that a**.

Source: Jerritt Clark / Getty Tristan Thompson Was All Over The KUWTK Premiere Season 17 of Keeping Up With The Kardashians premiered on E! this Sunday, and following last season’s drama-filled episodes surrounding the Khloe-Tristan-Jordyn saga, it’s no surprise that their first episode back dealt with some of the longer term aftermath. The episode revolved around Khloe prepping for baby True’s over-the-top first birthday party, which involved questioning her decision to invite Tristan to the party only a few weeks post-break-up. Since they supposedly hadn’t seen one another since his tryst with Jordyn Woods , Khloe decided to invite Tristan over to see True before the party–which is where she says he awkwardly tried to kiss her (seems like a pattern for him, huh?). Later on, at the party, we see Kanye and Tristan deep in conversation for what seems like a pretty long time, which sends Kim over to assess the situation. Ye explains that Tristan went over to confront him about his music being used in KUWTK promo videos to “push a narrative” about his whole cheating scandal, which Thompson wasn’t a fan of. For some reason, this conversation leads Khloe to storm out of her own daughter’s party crying. Check out a few clips from the episode down below to see what went down with Khloe and Tristan’s relationship after their drama-filled break-up.

Source: Sheri Determan / Fayesvision / Apega / WENN Khloe Kardashian Wants Jordyn And Tristan To Move On And Be Successful Are y’all still paying attention to the drama between Khloe Kardashian , baby daddy Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods ? Khloe recently linked up with Ryan Seacrest Friday September 6 for an interview on his “On Air with Ryan Seacrest” show and discussed the situation, which she says she’s now moved on from: “I’m not someone who holds a grudge. If I do that, it’s only going to affect me,” she explained. “That chapter is closed for me. I want all of us to move on and to be happy, successful people. I just want everyone to just be better people with each day. That’s genuinely how I feel.” Watch the video for more: What do you think about Khloé’s apologies comment: “I know everybody makes mistakes. I think it’s how you handle it, and I think apologies need to be as loud as your disrespect was or to me, it’s not sincere. I’m forgiving. I’m forgiven.” Seems like all really isn’t forgiven if she doesn’t feel Tristan or Jordyn have apologized loudly enough. One thing that can be said about Khloé is that at least her focus is in the right place — her daughter True. She also spoke with Ryan Seacrest about her decision to have Tristan at True’s first birthday party. “True’s birthday was just a couple weeks after all of that stuff happened, so everything was really raw and fresh,” she said in the interview. “You’re going to see that in the first episode, really how we even came to the point where I even invited Tristan to her first birthday.” “I always wanted that to be obviously a Mommy and Daddy thing,” she said. “In my family, it is everyone who is going through this breakup. So I knew in my family it was going to be a lot of high tension, but I still wanted to do what was best for True.” She’s right — True shouldn’t have to suffer just because her dad is a ho cheater.

The event is alone the lines of an investor meeting, but more open to the public. Throughout the day, investors discuss how the year is going thus for and collaborate on how they are gonna close out the year with a bang. But for anyone familiar with the state of the music industry right now, “bang” might be an understatement with the slate they announced at the event. According to reports from Hiphop-N-More , UMG has promised that Rihanna’s highly anticipated follow-up to her last album ANTI is set to release in December. This comes after her Navy’s been BEGGING Rih for new music and after they’ve been calling her the Avon Lady for selling her Fenty Beauty line.

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Purchase An Entire City In Wyoming In a recent interview for Vogue Arabia conducted by her hubby Kanye West , Kim Kardashian described her life in 10 years as living on a ranch with their four kids running around enjoying themselves. Lo and behold, before the magazine even gets into circulation, Kanye made sure that dream became a reality. According to reports from TMZ , the couple purchased a massive property in Wyoming just outside of the city Cody . The property is known as the ‘Monster Lake Ranch’ and was sitting on the market at a whopping $14 million. The Ranch itself has 8 lodging units and is known for “monster trout” fishing. It has two freshwater lakes, a restaurant, an event center, and meeting facilities. There are lots of barns, corrals, and horses–in fact, Cody is known as the “rodeo capital of the world.” The publication states that the famous couple reportedly worked out some sort of a deal for the small city and didn’t end up forking over the entire $14 million, but the final price is unknown. Last year, Kanye & company pumped out several albums while working in Wyoming, and West even ended up hosted his listening session in Jackson Hole. That’s when the whole family reportedly fell in love with the area and decided they might wanna stick around. They secured 4500 of the 9000 acres available, while the rest of the land is leased from the federal government. Word on the street is that Ye has already begun recording on the new property and several close friends and team members–including Pusha T– have already visited . With a new album due out at the end of the month, we should have a more detailed look at the property soon. View this post on Instagram I ain't mad at this ATV thing.

Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty Antonio Brown Signs With New England Patriots For One Year – $15 Million All of the absolutely insane stories and headlines surrounding Antonio Brown this week seem like a really well-scripted episode of HBO’s Ballers . Earlier this week, we reported that the turmoil was at an all-time high within the NFL, mainly between Antonio Brown and his now-former team, The Raiders. At the top of the week, AB was fined for missing two team practices, but that was just the beginning of the drama that later ensued. A few days after he came to social media complaining about his fines, Brown was punting footballs and threatening to punch his coach, who he then end up calling a “cracker .” The very next day, we got the most epic fake Nike commercial completely written, directed, and acted out by Antonio Brown himself. Not even 24 hours later, AB lost his $30 million dollar contract and got dropped from his team . Seems like this whole rollercoaster of a week would be a nightmare for any player, right? Apparently, that couldn’t be further from the truth. According to NFL.com, Antonio Brown is now signing with the New England Patriots and still securing his bag. GET YOUR MONEY, BLACK MAN! His new deal is for o ne year, $15 million total with $9 million as a sign-on bonus. If anyone saw this one coming, we’re gonna need you to give up the lottery numbers for next week.

Source: JMU Athletics Communications / JMU Athletics Communications Cincinnati Football Player Has Seizure In The Middle Of A Play College football players go out each and every weekend and put it all on the line for the promise of making it into the professional league one day–and the percentage that actually make it to the league is a lot smaller than one might think. Besides proving to be the cream of the crop as far as gameplay goes, other obstacles stand in their way that are completely out of the players’ control. For some, its tuition that holds them back because college surely isn’t cheap. For a lot of these players, it’s injuries , which happen every single week. This weekend, one player had a medical emergency that isn’t seen on the field too often. Cincinnati College’s Kyriq McDonald suffered a seizure mid-play during their blowout at the hands of Ohio State. After the game, his mother confirmed that McDonald has a history of seizures. Hopefully, he can play again, but it’s definitely not worth risking your daily abilities to play football because as we all know, the wrong hit at the wrong time could end up being detrimental. Scary moment for Cincinnati's Kyriq McDonald. He fell midplay despite not being touched and remained on the field. He was driven off the field. ESPN spoke with his mom who said he has a history of seizures. pic.twitter.com/wvMSgv5Dcr — Jordan Heck (@JordanHeckFF) September 7, 2019
