Source: Brian To/WENN.com / WENN Girlfriends is back! According to Entertainment Weekly , the hit sitcom went off the air eleven years ago and now the cast is reuniting for an episode of Black-ish . The whole squad is back including Golden Brooks, Persia White, Jill Marie Jones and of course Tracee Ellis Ross who also stars on Black-ish. “The timing was perfect to be able to bring Girlfriends to a whole new audience. We haven’t all been together on camera since 2006,” Ross told EW . “ Girlfriends ran for eight years and was important to so many people. Being able to merge the worlds of black-ish and Girlfriends was surreal for me — and so much fun. These are women I grew up with and love deeply and it was easy to tap back into the magic of our chemistry and how much we love each other. It was giggles on top of giggles on top of giggles.” Surprise!!! My giiiiifriends are guest starring on an episode of @blackishabc this season! #blackish @RealPersiaWhite @therealgolden47 @MsJillMJones https://t.co/Capmlsc9SC pic.twitter.com/4J4Y3iASlC — Tracee Ellis Ross (@TraceeEllisRoss) September 12, 2019 The reunion will air on October 8 in a Black-ish episode called “Feminisn’t,” in which Bow (Ross) learns that Diane ( Marsai Martin ) and Ruby ( Jenifer Lewis ) don’t believe in feminism. Yup, this will be great. Meanwhile, another blast from the past is coming back to Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim with the return of Black Jesus. The show, created by Aaron McGruder , has been off the air for four years and now the show will make a comeback with its third season. Unfortunately, the show will be returning without co-star Charlie Murphy who passed away in April 2017. Co-star Corey Holcomb told Comedy Hype in an interview, “It’s gonna be weird without Charlie Murphy on set. We’re gonna get this thing going without him, and I’m sure we’re still gonna make the show good, but it will be different not seeing him on set.” You can check out the trailer for season three of Black Jesus below and be sure to check it out when it premieres September 20.

This time, it was Julian Castro bullying Joe Biden (loudly and wrongly) that set the tone for a night with a loopy Kamala , aggressive Bernie, lovable Lizzy and, well, Andrew Yang basically promising to make it rain on Americans. Here's the moment from the #DemDebate that made everyone tweet, “is Kamala Harris drunk?” pic.twitter.com/dsA32rIlBk — Eddie Zipperer (@EddieZipperer) September 13, 2019 Peep the funniest tweets from the third Democratic Debate on the flip.
There has been no shortage of shockers on 90 Day Fiance: The Other Wa y . The show really brings the drama. Now, the Tell All special has been filmed, and spoilers are leaking from behind the scenes. There’s some inappropriate flirting and a brawl breaks out — and both incidents involve the same person. “Angela bullies Avery, calls Avery a bad Muslim, among other things,” a fan page called Frauded By TLC reports. Apparently, things escalated from there. “Angela attacks avery,” the report continues. That is scary. You know that Angela could be a real bruiser in a fight. And she’s not nearly as old as she looks. Fortunately, the report says that “Rebecca steps in to break it up.” “It becomes a huge brawl on stage,” the report concludes. We should keep in mind that Angela is no stranger to being on television. Not only is this not her first stint on 90 Day Fiance , but she appeared multiple tims on Maury alongside her daughter, Scottie. (Yes, the infamously awful daughter, convicted child-molester Scottie Deem ) So it may be that she’s brawling for the sake of the cameras, to keep herself interesting. After all, Pedro brawled with Chantel’s family, and now they’re all on their very own spinoff show. But she didn’t have to involve this much younger woman. There is another bit of drama related to Avery Mills. Once again, it is not her fault. According to multiple different reports, including Frauded By TLC, Avery received some unwanted attention from Aladin. That’s right — Laura’s Aladin. “During the weekend of taping the Tell All … Aladin was messaging Avery telling her she looked beautiful in her jihab,” the report reads. While it’s true, it’s not something that Aladin should have been saying, especially in a text. Wisely, she blocked the hunky castmate. Reports can claim anything because sources can claim anything — but we’re inclined to believe all of this. Part of that is because super-reliable 90 Day Fiance blogger John Yates reported the same thing. “I heard from a source and can confirm that Aladin was trying to get some jiggy jiggy,” Yates reported on Instagram. He clarified that it was “not from Laura, but from Avery during the weekend of The Other Way tell-all taping.” Aladin should probably stick to looking hot and not hit on his castmates, right? Speaking of castmates, there was only one non-American present for the Tell All taping. Darcey Silva’s new man, Tom Brooks, appeared on camera. Maybe he just had an easier time getting a visa. (Because, well, he’s white and has a white-sounding name and that is everything in our current political nightmare) But several fans have joked that it’s no surprise that Darcey’s new man is as much of a glutton for fame as she is. Our biggest hope for the Tell All is that, seeing Corey and Evelin happily together, some haters can get a grip and accept them as a couple. Between editing and racism, Evelin has entered the ranks of the most hated 90 Day Fiance stars of all time … without earning that title. People need to get a grip. Of course, the Tell All won’t air for some time, so maybe people’s attitudes will improve on their own before then.

At the end of August, Alaskan Bush People star Bear Brown got engaged to Raiven Adams . Congratulations were in order! But two weeks later, the couple broke off their engagement , deciding to instead remain best friends. That was just days ago. Now, Bear and Raiven have a new announcement: they’re expecting their first child! Bear Brown spoke to People to share the surprising news. “Raiven and I are excited to share we’re expecting a baby this spring!” Bear gushes. He does acknowledge that Raiven is no longer slated to rule by his side as the Queen of Extreme. “Even though we’re no longer together,” Bear explains. “We’re still friends” “And,” he emphasizes. “Dedicated to raising a healthy and happy child.” “Raiven will be an amazing mom,” Bear raves about his hot model ex-fiancee. He makes a firm vow: “and I will work my hardest to be the best dad I can be!” “Family is everything to me,” Bear affirms. “And,” he expresses. “We appreciate everyone’s support as we figure out our new normal.” Raising a baby with your ex fiancee who is now your best friend is no joke. And who knows what their status will be when Raiven gives birth. Raiven also spoke to People about the surprise. “We’re still in an early stage,” Raiven revealed. “But,” she noted. “We’ve talked a lot about how to make this work and prioritize the baby.” Raiven expresses optimism: “We know the strength of our friendship and support of our families will allow us to raise a happy child.” While she is looking forward to the future, she is already feeling the full force of the pregnancy. “Pregnancy is no joke!” Raiven reminds the world. “I’m not sleeping much,” she laments. “And I’m pretty sick but still feeling very blessed.” Raiven says that she and Bear are eager to learn what sorts of genitals their baby will have “as soon as we can.” But Raiven would still “be thrilled with a boy or girl.” Raiven also made the announcement on Instagram. “Quickly after deciding friendship was best for us!” Raiven begins. “We found out we had a little surprise coming our way.” “After a quick engagement,” she reminds followers. “Because we felt that was the right thing to do.” “We talked about things,” Raiven shares. “And ultimately decided being co parents was best for us as well as our baby.” “We are super excited,” she expresses. “And surprised to announce this especially due to current events.” “We are excited to coparent as friends,” Raiven writes. “And,” she adds, to “do our best to be the best we can be.” “We can’t wait to find out the gender!” she notes. “Being in the earlier stages means a lot of sick and sleepless nights.” “Thats okay,” Raiven concludes, suddenly speaking to her unborn child. “Because you are for sure worth it!” Some would consider this a very early time to announce a pregnancy. Early pregnancies can be very fragile. But given that their engagement ended earlier this week, perhaps they figured that it was best to get it all out into the open now . Congratulations!

Back in July, Amber Portwood was arrested on domestic violence charges . The Teen Mom OG star allegedly brandished a machete and attacked her boyfriend, Andrew Glennon, while he was holding the couple's 1-year-old son. Despite Amber's long history of violent behavior, she was defended by numerous supporters, including her co-stars, who repeatedly stated that they did not believe the allegations. Now, however, an audio recording obtained by the YouTube vlog Without a Crystal Ball proves definitively that Amber was in the habit of physically threatening Andrew and engaging in all manner of verbal abuse. We wonder what her castmates will have to say now … Take a look: 1. House of Horrors There was a time when Amber and Andrew seemed to enjoy a decently happy relationship. But after their July 4 blowout, Andrew revealed that he lived in fear of her from the start. 2. Now We Know Why Amber is still awaiting trial after being arrested for attacking Andrew with a machete on Independence Day. 3. A Short Leash Though she was quickly released on bond, Portwood has been barred from contacting Glennon, and she’s only permitted to see her son, James, during brief, court-supervised visits. 4. The Real Fireworks According to Andrew, Amber became upset and started an argument due to the fact that the family was running late for a local fireworks display. 5. Angry Amber Glennon says she soon became physically aggressive and attacked him while he was holding baby James. 6. Unconscionable She later brandished a machete, and when Andrew locked himself inside a bedroom with James, Amber attempted to break down the door. View Slideshow
