June Shannon Has Been Indicted For Federal Drug Possession

For the last several weeks, we’ve been documenting the many ways in which June Shannon is in trouble with her family. But these issues between loves ones suddenly seem harmless and unimportant. Because June Shannon is now in serious trouble with the law. The long-time reality star — who rose to fame as the mother of a child beauty pageant contestant on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and who now anchors her very own series, Mama June: From Not to Hot — has been indicted on a charge of felony drug possession. Said charge stems from a March arrest during which time cops in Alabama said Shannon had on her person both crack cocaine and a glass pipe. She was caught in a gas station parking lot at that time, arguing loudly with terrible boyfriend Geno Doak. He was also arrested back then for drug charges and domestic violence and both he and Shannon have now also been hit with a misdemeanor charge for paraphernalia. According to TMZ, Mama June was not at the Alabama courthouse Friday for this indictment. However, in a strange twist (although perhaps not to strange, given this family’s history), her sister was there with a camera crew, hoping to stage some sort of intervention. This would have been the second intervention relatives held for June in the past few months, as they previously tried to convince her to leave Doak and focus on her children’s well-being. Alas, June has seemingly chosen Geno over daughters Alana and Lauryn. The former is currently residing with the latter and has said she won’t return home until her mother leaves Geno. On September  1, Alana posted a selfie on Instagram and as a caption she wrote: “It’s ok not to be ok sometimes it’s hard to follow your heart doesn’t mean you losing everybody bruising.” Fans of the young star took to the comments and began to share their love and support for her during this challenging time in her family’s life. More recently, various sources have reported that Shannon is selling everything she can just to make ends meet and won’t even have anywhere to live in the near future. She plans to just ride around in an RV with Doak and, we presume, at least try not to ger arrested again. It’s all rather tragic when you remember there is at least one young kid involved here. As for this latest, significant legal situation? Shannon is due to be in court for a hearing later this month. She has not yet commented on the indictment nor has WEtv yet canceled her reality show. But the network really would be well-served to distance itself from this troubled start as quickly as possible and in as strong terms as it possibly can. We’re thinking of you, Alana. Try to hang in there, okay? View Slideshow: June Shannon: Living Out of Vile Hotel Rooms with Crazy BF Geno After Crack Arrest!?

Emily Simpson: Divorcing Shane For Failing Bar Exam??

We don’t normally agree with Tamra Judge, but she may be right when she says that Emily Simpson’s marriage is doomed . There has been a lot of tension in that marriage, and we’ve seen some of it on The Real Housewives of Orange County . Recently, fans have seen Shane all but ignore his family in order to “do what he has to do” to pass the California bar exam. While everyone knows it’s a tough exam and requires a lot of effort, dude was either ghosting Emily or being full-on rude. Well, he failed to pass the bar exam. As such, he made his wife feel like crap and still isn’t allowed to practice law in California. Will this spell the end of them? E! News reports that they have confirmed that Shane Simpson did in fact fail the infamous bar examination in February. There are two important updates, however: The first piece of good news is that he took it again, a couple of months ago, and is currently awaiting the results. The second reason for hope is that, as an insider further explains: “The pass rate in Feb. 2019 was only 31 percent.” “It’s the hardest bar exam in the country,” the source adds, and indeed, many legal experts believe this to be true. Perhaps it wasn’t his fault, in other words, or due to a lack of effort that he came up sort. It’s really damn difficult. Still, on Tuesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County , fans recall that Shane was out of town. He took the bar exam – which lasts multiple days – hours away from home. While there, he got a hotel room. Ostensibly, the hotel room was so that he could continue to study in peace and quiet between testing sessions. Real talk? Nobody wants to drive multiple hours this way and that, especially in the middle of a test. To take a test well, you need to be at your best. Learning it all doesn’t do as much good if you can’t think clearly. Of course, we’ve already seen how Shane studying for the bar exam the first time around impacted his marriage. When Shane returned from his (failed) bar exam, Emily spoke to him very directly about their litany of issues. “I feel very upset and resentful towards you,” Emily told him. She then acknowledged that the feeling is mutual, adding: “And I know you feel upset and resentful towards me.” That may sound worrisome – it most definitely is – but airing these issues aloud is the first step towards making things better. However, Emily had more to say to Shane. A lot more. She clearly does not feel respected by her own spouse, and after seeing him on Bravo, it’s not hard to see why. “I have trouble with the way that you talk to me sometimes,” Emily confessed to her spouse during an emotional exchange. She expresses: “I don’t like the condescending tone.” “It’s sarcasm all the time,” Emily laments. She summarizes her displeasure with his treatment of her: “I get tired of being the butt of all your jokes sometimes.” Yeah, that kind of terse treatment and dismissal – which we see frequently on the show – gets very old, very quickly. Clearly, things with Shane are far from ideal and have been trending the wrong direction long before this incident. Emily told him that she wants to go to couples therapy with him to work out their extensive issues as a result. (Much better than just a quick ambush on camera, of course, even if these are reality stars who play the part.) However, Emily has done her best to maintain a healthy perspective and is making her priorities extremely clear. As she recently wrote on her Instagram account, she knows that her husband is not the center of her universe. “At the end of the day,” Emily shared with her followers. “All that really matters is what my children think of me.” View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know That is an extremely healthy perspective to have. Once you have kids, they’re your primary responsibility. Of course, your marriage and how you handle that will influence the kids, as well. Here’s wishing her the best in a tough situation.

Jinger Duggar Shares Major Update on Daughter Felicity, and Fans Are Overjoyed!

The Duggar family will always be a controversial bunch. But if there’s one member of the Counting On clan that most folks can agree on, it’s Jinger. Jinger has rebelled against Jim Bob’s strict teachings in a number of significant ways, which has endeared her to the many who have been highly critical of her family. But to fans of the Duggars, Jinger still represents the core, ultra-conservative values that drew them to her family in the first place. It’s a tricky balancing act, but the mother-of-one pulls it off. Speaking of her offspring, it seems Jinger’s appeal is hereditary, as it’s possible that none of Jim Bob and Michelle’s grandchildren have received quite as much adoration as Felicity. Every time Jinger posts new photos of Felicity , the crowd goes wild. So you can imagine the reaction to the revelation that the 1-year-old took her first steps this week, “Seeing Felicity grow and develop new skills is like watching a flower bloom,” Jinger captioned the pic above. ”It seems like overnight that she’s gone from being fully reliant upon us for everything, to mastering crawling, leaving dad & mom chasing her all over the place!” she continued. “Last night, Felicity conquered her rocking horse, which was no small feat!  She had that thing moving…might I add, it was on carpet, making it much more difficult to maintain speed,” Jinger went on before getting to the big reveal: “Felicity has taken a few solo steps in recent days, but seems to embrace a more cautious approach when it comes to her strides. I know that these days will pass quickly, and she will be running all over the place.  “I am just so thankful to have a front row seat, watching this little one explore the world around her. Many were quick to shower Jinger and her family with congratulations, including her sister-in-law Anna: “Such a precious season of life! Felicity is beautiful inside and out!” Josh’s wife wrote. Others echoed that sentiment, including one fan, who wrote: “Enjoy this time they grow up so fast! She’s adorable.” Yes, it’s more than a little ironic that the so-called “rebel Duggar” has been the one to unite the Counting On community. Here’s hoping her daughter inherited her defiant spirit.

Khloe Kardashian: BLASTED By Fans For "Insensitive" 9/11 Tweet

Wednesday marked the 18th anniversary of 9/11, a day on which thousands of lives were lost, and America’s political climate was forever changed. Countless celebrities paid tribute to the fallen — and more than a few tripped over their words while marking this most delicate of occasions. Among them was Khloe Kardashian, a seasoned veteran when it comes to both putting her foot in her mouth and fending off unwarranted criticism. We’ll leave up top you to decide which description best fits her latest controversy. As you’re probably aware, Khloe and her sisters are of Armenian descent on the side of their late father, Robert Kardashian Sr. In the past, they’ve discussed their pride in their heritage and used their platforms to raise awareness of the Armenian genocide and other matters of which many Americans might be ignorant. But as you can see, fans felt that Khloe’s latest statement of affection for her ancestors’ homeland was a bit ill-timed. Armenia had no involvement in the 9/11 attacks, but many felt that it’s a day on which all Americans should focus on their shared identity, not their individual ethnic compositions: “365 days on your calendar and you chose today to say something like this..hmm,” one fan wrote. “Be proud of your roots of course but out of all the days you tweet this today. It’s ironic given that your own brand of jeans is called ‘Good American,'” another echoed. Needless to say, Khloe’s tweet wasn’t exactly a hit with her fanbase. But hey, at least Khloe wasn’t the only one to step in it on America’s most somber day of memorial. Former Teen Mom OG star  Farrah Abraham took her daughter to Ground Zero and forgot the difference between a terrorist attack and a purveyor of Buffalo chicken taquitos. “Okay, so we wanted to do, since it’s gonna be September 11, in honor of the Freedom Towers and observatory deck and everything, of 7-Eleven, we are going to do this,” she said on Instagram Live. “Wow, look at this guys,” she added, panning the camera across the 9/11 memorial. So yeah, it could have been worse for Khloe. But hey, at least Farrah’s not alone in making that particular gaffe . View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Shares 5 Tips for Looking Skinny AF

R. Kelly: New Warrant Filed After Rapper Skips Court Appearance

Back in July, the widely reviled R. Kelly was finally arrested for sex trafficking. He is accused of a slew of sex crimes, going back for years. Two major cities and the federal government have been working out something of a prosecution schedule for the disgraced rapper. Now, the notorious creep has failed to appear in court and has a new warrant issued for him. Okay, wow . The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that there’s a brand new warrant out for alleged sexual predator R. Kelly. While it’s not a shock to hear that he’s been charged with additional crimes, this no-show court appearance was in Minnesota. Kelly was charged in Minnesota back in August. He is accused of, in 2001, soliciting a 17-year-old girl to strip naked and dance, offering her $200 to do so. If true, that is deeply disgusting, fits with the many other accusations against him, and is absolutely inexcusable. Loathe as we may be to admit it, R. Kelly does have a technically valid excuse for ghosting the court in Minnesota. The good news is that his excuse is that he’s already behind bars. He’s currently in a cell, where he belongs. That prison cell is in Chicago, and no, they did not let him out so that he could wave hello to a judge in Minnesota. That’s more or less what Minnesota was expecting. According to The Hollywood Reporter ‘s characterization, this new warrant was essentially a formality. (You never know when one of those will be vital. One tainted search can invalidate a whole case, but that bench warrant would still be around) Prosecutors in Minnesota have claimed that they have been refused access to the accused sex monster. His cases in Chicago and New York remain ongoing. Attorney Steve Greenberg, who is actually willing to represent Kelly, says that he was not even contacted about this court summons. That said, he acknowledges that he is not currently registered in Minnesota. Kelly has been accused of so many sex crimes that it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of them. Over the past few years, women have come forward with stories of being seduced by the famous, wealthy rapper as young adults. One he had charmed them, Kelly would offer them a relationship — even saying that he would match their current salary if they travel with him. Unfortunately, these women have each reported that he would become more demanding over time, eventually becoming violent. These are the women who have described his “sex cult” of brainwashed women who serve his every desire. Misbehavior is punished by taking one’s phone, starving them, or allegedly with physical beatings. As horrific as that is, adult women are not his only alleged targets. Prosecutors say that he targeted young teenage girls — girls as young as 7th and 8th grade. These are not described as accidental mistakes. It is believed that he (allegedly) deliberately seeks out minor girls to groom and victimize. Much of the Chicago case focuses upon Kelly’s alleged predilection for not only statutory rape, but making home movies of his crimes. He allegedly appears on multiple videos committing statutory rape upon minors. In one video, he is described as referring to the victim’s body parts as being “14 years old” as he performs various sex acts. Hopefully, by the time that Minnesota gets Kelly in for his day in court there, he will have already been sentenced to several lifetimes behind bars. View Slideshow: R. Kelly Addresses Sex Abuse Accusations in 19-Minute Song

Tyrese & Naomie Harris Talk About His Chapped Lips & Their New Flick Black & Blue

Read this article:

Tyrese is fully aware his lips stay ashy like a powdered donut. In this rapid-fire question and answer video that I was able to secure for GlobalGrind, The Sweet Lady singer and his Black And Blue co-star, Academy Award Nominee Naomie Harris sit down together to tackle some fun questions. The pair talk about who is the biggest badass, what they love about New Orleans and more. But the question that made me laugh was when they were asked who takes the longest to get ready. They both answered Mike Coulter . Naomie says it’s “Because he has all of that beard that would have to be combed.” Tyrese chimes in saying, “it definitely wasn’t us. We were in and out of the trailer. My lips were chapped the WHOLE movie.” “Black and Blue” is slated to hit theaters on October 25th and it follows a New Orleans police officer played by Naomie Harris who finds herself in a fight for survival as she races against the clock to retrieve the bodycam footage she recorded of a drug dealer’s murder by corrupt officers. She teams up with the only person she can trust, which is played by Tyrese, and then they’re relentlessly hunted by police desperate to destroy the incriminating footage and drug dealers out for revenge. We’re excited to catch this one in theaters next month.

Felicity Huffman’s White Privilege Got Her Sentenced To 14 Days, Twitter Dragging Commences

More here:

Source: WENN.com / WENN The blatant privilege of it all. Actress Felicity Huffman , who was one of the biggest names caught up in the college admissions scandal,   just received her punishment for trying to bribe her kid’s way into college. Her sentence? 14 days in prison. According to NBC News , Huffman was sentenced on Friday. Joined by her actor husband, William H. Macy , Huffman was also sentenced to a fine of $30,000 and 250 hours of community service. “I am deeply sorry to the students, schools, and universities, that are impacted by my actions,” Huffman said, while choking up. “I take full responsibility for my actions and as a first step for making amends for my crime. I will accept whatever punishment you deem appropriate.” U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, who handed down the sentence, said the scandal demonstrated a major imbalance in America in which rich parents are able to give their kids more advantages. She said she didn’t relish sending Huffman to prison, but she believed it was the right decision. “I don’t think anyone wants to be going to prison, I do think this is the right sentence here,” said Talwani. “You move forward and you can rebuild your life after this. You pay your dues.” Yet there are tons of Black people in prison for minor non-violent offenses serving way more time than 14 days. Of course, much of Twitter wasn’t happy with Huffman’s sentencing. Huffman pleaded guilty to mail fraud and honest services fraud for dishing out $15,000 to college fixer Rick Singer to cheat on daughter Sophia Grace Macy’s SAT test back in 2017. Yet, she somehow evaded a prison system in which the less wealthy and less White folks aren’t so lucky. Ironically, probation officials initially said the government was at fault for setting Huffman’s sentencing range at four to nine months because the amount of money she paid should not be a factor in how she’s sentenced. They said Huffman should be subject to the lowest sentencing guidelines of zero prison time to six months. It looks like they got what they wanted. “The mere fact that prosecutors asked for such little prison time showed that Huffman appeared to be in good position to avoid time behind bars,” said NBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos. “Federal courts are under obligation to avoid ‘unwarranted sentencing disparities.’ A sentence of incarceration for Felicity Huffman sure seems like an unwarranted sentencing disparity.” So basically, there are people who think her sentencing is actually too severe. Again, folks on Twitter had thoughts. Watch whiteness work https://t.co/YAiIxqoVnQ — Black Aziz aNANsi (@Freeyourmindkid) September 13, 2019 Let's be real. Felicity Huffman's sentence is an invitation to rich white parents all over America: Cheat if you must. You're safe. https://t.co/NrUlr3Hubh — Anand Giridharadas (@AnandWrites) September 13, 2019 Hit the next pages for more pointed reactions.

Romeo Hunte’s Spring/Summer 2020 Collection Is Updating The Definition Of ‘Business Attire’

Read more from the original source:

For his S/S 2020 collection held at Pier 59 Studios on Sunday, Romeo Hunte explored deconstructionism and the definition of “business attire.” Amongst a star-studded crowd, fashion insiders gathered to see what the Brooklyn-based designer would bring to the fashion masses. The juxtaposition of the collection showed Hunte’s desires to blend two worlds together — streetwear and business wear. The collection featured everything from oversized abstract-print blazers over cuffed denim shorts to parka trench coats where one half was a striped blazer and the other half was a denim jacket. Source: Ron Adar / Getty Hunte has always been one to use juxtaposition in his collection, perhaps to show that fashion doesn’t have to be so straight and narrow and that multiple identities can co-exist. While that is understandable and commendable, there was seemingly a disconnect between a few of Hunte’s pieces or rather their pairing, such as a denim shearling-laced jacket overtop an abstract crop top and leather mini skirt. Source: Ron Adar / Getty Some looks, like one male model who walked the runway with a black blazer stitched into jeans one piece, almost would have operated better as separates to co-exist with other pieces in the wardrobe. I constantly reminded myself that this was for the Spring and Summer, but most of the collection felt like a New York block party instead of an accessible way to dress for summer Fridays at the office. Source: Ron Adar / Getty There were models in one-legger fits, the bodice split in half and held together by silver metallic rings and exposed zippers. Again, the idea of merging two very prominent markets is extremely doable, but the main question becomes who is the target consumer or the ideal celebrity clientele. To bring streetwear to the luxury market, as Hunte cites his clientele to be, the fabric choice has to reflect the target market and creatively, a flow should take place. Source: Ron Adar / Getty Don’t get me wrong, there were a few moments of potential with some of his fringe parks, abstract sets, and tailored crop blazers. There was a black-and-white dress that offered promise to the traditional and trendsetter, and he had a bold yellow and a bold red suit make their debut for those of us who love a pop of color. While the pieces individually can be pulled apart to make some interesting connections, I would have loved to see more business-skewed formal sets with a bit of street funk on them to show more accessible opportunities for those who work the 9-5.
