For years now, rumors of Josh Duggar returning to Counting On have been circulating non-stop on social media. Come to think of it, those rumors began almost immediately after the Josh Duggar sex scandals that threatened to destroy his family’s media empire back in 2015. Once it became clear that the Duggars would not simply slink back into obscurity, as so many had hoped, many assumed the family would eventually figure out a way to reintroduce the known molester to their fan base. And now, we regret to inform you that it looks as though that day has come. As In Touch Weekly points out Josh was recently spotted in wife Anna’s Instagram stories. That may not sound like such a big deal, as Josh frequently makes appearances on his wife’s social media pages. But this time around, Anna’s eagle-eyed followers picked up on something highly unusual about the pics. As you can see, Josh seems to have assumed the master of ceremonies role at what appears to be a gathering of young Duggars. Again, nothing terribly unusual about that, as — for reasons that defy logic — the Duggars still allow Josh around their children. But what’s got the rumor mill working overtime this week is a pic that comes later in Anna’s IG story. This photo was taken at the same gathering, and again, it doesn’t appear that there’s anything out of the ordinary about it. If you look closely, however, you’ll notice that there appears to be a cameraman standing just out of frame on the right side. For obvious reasons, this has led many to the conclusion that the party was filmed for an upcoming episode of Counting On . Given that he was spotted addressing the room with a microphone in his hande on multiple occasions, would it even be possible to edit Josh out of the scene , as the show has done in the past? Timing-wise this might be Josh’s best opportunity to try and weasel his way back on TV. Astonishingly, the recent Josh and Anna comeback tour has been well-received by a disturbingly large segment of the Duggar fanbase. Here’s hoping a much larger group is nauseated by the idea of a known child molester being paid to appear on television, and will boycott the hell out of TLC is such a thing is allowed to happen.

While accepting the award Chadwick who was joined on stage by Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nygong’o, Danai Gurira, Andy Serkis, Sterling K. Brown, and Angela Bassett, gave a passionate speech about being “young, gifted and black.” “Well, I’ll be,” Chadwick Boseman, said. “To be young, gifted and black, we all know what it’s like to be told that there is not a place for you to be featured. Yet you are young, gifted and black. We know what it’s like to be told there’s not a screen for you to be featured on, a stage for you to be featured on, we know what it’s like to be the tail and not the head. We know what it’s like to be beneath, and not above. And that is what we went to work with every day,” Boseman also thanked “genius” director Ryan Coogler and Marvel Studios chief and master architect Kevin Feige.

Source: JB Lacroix / Getty The Real Housewives of Atlanta crew is still in Tokyo. NeNe got all pissed with Tanya for thinking she was being negative. Tanya came to tears because she was confused about why NeNe was being hostile toward her. Basically, NeNe is going through her own stuff with Gregg and taking it out on everyone. Over it dot come. Since things don’t seem to be getting any less frustrating at lunch, NeNe decides to leave the group, which is probably for the best. Once lunch is over, they all pile onto their bus to head back to the hotel and that’s when Marlo and Eva get into it. It all starts when Marlo tries it. Basically, Eva explains how they should dress for their night out on the town and tells them not to wear wedge sneakers, which is silly but whatevs. That triggers Marlo and she starts attempting to go in on Eva for wearing flats. But anyone who has ever seen Eva on America’s Next Top Model knows that Eva has plenty of time. So, she starts going in on Marlo. It gets so bad that Marlo has no comebacks left other than, “Respect your elders.” We all saw the fallout from that comment in the preview commercial where Eva replies with, “I got two babies and a husband,” and then Marlo retorts with, “Two babies by two different men.” That doesn’t slow Eva down from roasting though. This entire situation is basic af. But we’re here for it. Let’s not front. Back at the hotel, Eva gets bad news about her grandfather. They’re going to remove his breathing tube so he’s going to pass away shortly after that. Tanya and surprisingly, Marlo, are the first to come to comfort her. Eventually, the other women come to check on her too. They give her space to cry and grieve, but Eva decides to stay in Tokyo and continue her trip. It’s what her grandfather would have wanted. It’s nice to see them not tearing each other to shreds for once, even Marlo’s evil self. Let’s fast forward a bit. NeNe is still acting all aggy because Gregg has been ignoring her, so obviously she’s not really trying to hear it when Tanya pulls her aside, again, to talk about her comment about her relationship. NeNe tells Tanya that she took it wrong. Tanya keeps pushing and repeats that NeNe was speaking negativity. NeNe finally apologizes, in a snippy way, but repeats that she didn’t mean it negatively and Tanya keeps talking in circles again about Nene speaking negatively and we’re all like: Let it go, girl. But they eventually seem to get over it and plan to finish turning up Tokyo-style. However, we know this group so we know peace probably won’t last long. Let’s meet back here next week to discuss.

Tweets spread that Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert had a threesome with a porn star named Alby Rydes, who folks thought Iman had impregnated and was hiding a baby with. Apparently, there is a baby involved, and Iman left heart eyes under the photo of the mom and the infant. People thought this comment was confirmation of the rumor… Here’s the gag.

Source: Craig Barritt / Getty Here’s What Went Down At The Fyre Festival The more we learn about Fyre Festival , the more we all realize this thing was doomed from the beginning. From to a lack of funding to a lack of planning, all of the problems that went down during this disastrous event stem from simply not being prepared and, from the looks of it, not really caring how unprepared they were (we’re looking at you, Billy McFarland ). Both Netflix and Hulu released documentaries on the infamous Fyre Festival this past week and it’s got the entire world talking about how insane this whole failed experiment was. Ja Rule , who founded Fyre Media with Billy McFarland, got fed up with all the slander on Sunday and ended up responding with some colorful tweets. The rapper pushes all the blame toward his former business partner and implies that neither documentary can be too trustworthy since they paid the people involved in the festival to make them. I love how ppl watch a doc and think they have all the answers… — Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) January 20, 2019 I had an amazing vision to create a festival like NO OTHER!!! I would NEVER SCAM or FRAUD anyone what sense does that make??? — Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) January 20, 2019 @Hulu PAID BILLY!!! That money should have went to the ppl in the Bahamas… @netflix PAID fuck Jerry who also did all the promo for the festival… the docs clearly have Billy at fault but let’s blame the rapper lmao ok… — Ja Rule (@Ruleyork) January 20, 2019 Ja is standing by his vision to create a one-of-a-kind festival and insists he would never scam anyone–but a scammed is exactly what all the Fyre Festival attendees got. From the soaking wet mattresses to the cheese sandwiches, here’s the craziest things we learned about Fyre Festival from the recently released documentaries. Everyone Told Billy McFarland This Thing Wouldn’t Work The deadline for the employees of Fyre Media to finish everything was unrealistic from the start, but as the festival approached, several employees expressed serious doubt and desperation about the possible outcomes. According to those former employees, Billy didn’t take any of them seriously and kept on truckin’. It’s crazy how they toasted to selling the pipe dream to losers/average Joes but #Fyre employees we’re buying the dream too — April N. Watson (@MsBIGPoV) January 19, 2019 Billy Claims He Lost All The Keys To The Luxury Villas He Paid For Fyre Festival had attendees paying tens of thousands of dollars for tickets that included stays in supposed luxury villas while on the island, but when they showed up, they were actually staying in FEMA tents. According to Billy in the Hulu doc, he most definitely had villas that he purchased and everything was going smoothly…until he lost the box with all the keys. Makes sense. There's a moment in the Hulu Fyre doc where Billy McFarland says they paid millions to rent hundreds of luxury villas on the island, but then kind of hangs his head and says they lost the box containing all the keys, and I've been thinking about it for 12 hours — Tom Gara (@tomgara) January 15, 2019 Festival Attendees Were Forced To Add Money To Their Wristbands Two weeks before the festival was set to take place, Fyre Media was reportedly in need of some serious cash. That’s when attendees were contacted and told to load up newly invented Fyre Festival wristbands with at least $3,000 to buy food and other items while onsite in the Bahamas. Had to load up the money to spend at the event on the wrist band. And told them they’d need $300 a day https://t.co/5mdKg66wL0 — a Woody Harrelson stan (@screwyoumegn) January 20, 2019 Billy was doing ANYTHING he could for a quick buck to hold over investors, but not as much as his mentor Andy was about to do…
With reality TV being filmed so far in advance, viewers are just getting to the crazy stuff for Teresa Giudice and her family on The Real Housewives of New Jersey. Giudice finally weighed in on husband Joe’s forthcoming release from jail on Wednesday’s episode of the Bravo hit and was surprisingly upbeat about it. “The closer it gets to Joe getting out, all I think about is, ‘Soon he’ll be home,’ ” Teresa said about her dire situation. “I don’t even talk about deportation. That’s all negative thoughts. To me, Joe’s coming home, and that’s it.” Um, what? Do we sense a hint of denial there, Teresa? The immigration court ruled to deport Joe to Italy when he finished out his 41-month prison sentence. Even though an appeal was lodged, he still faces deportation. It’s obviously a tough time for the family, but what we do know is that Teresa has still been visiting him. “I just came straight from seeing Joe,” she told Danielle Staub, before going on to confirm their time together on the inside is spend talking about their four children and “what he wants to do when he gets out.” The conversation quickly turned to what Joe tried to do when Teresa visited him. “He’s trying to touch my a–. I’m like, ‘Get your hand off of my a–,’ ” Teresa laughed. “You’re not allowed to do that!” It’s not uncommon for lovers to want to get closer to each other after spending so long apart. There have been many rumors of late that Teresa is ready to call time on her marriage. There was that time she was all over social media WITHOUT her wedding ring. A lot can change in a few months, but if all of this Joe talk did anything, it shut down some of the rumors. For now, Teresa just wants her husband home and thinks it will complete her family again. “I’m looking forward to it,” she said. “The kids will really be happy when he gets home. They can’t wait, especially Milania.” Elsewhere on Wednesday’s episode, Jennifer Aydin was out for blood. Her first big bust-up was with Jackie Goldschneider who wrote the article bashing her parenting skills. In a comical moment, Jackie allowed Jennifer to use her restroom before heading to a vineyard, but it was not up to the latter’s standards. “What a dump,” Aydin complained after getting a look at the restroom. Restroom Wars could be a good TV format for Bravo! “After Jackie came into my house and used it against me, you think I’m gonna pass up the opportunity to see her house? I don’t think so,” Jennifer said in a confessional. While on the bus, Jennifer started dishing out gifts she brought back from Turkey, but she turned to Margaret and uttered the following: “Yours got lost in the mail along with the mail-order bride that never was.” This was in response to Margaret’s ill-timed comments that Jennifer’s brother was getting married to a mail-order bride. Margaret could not respond because she was blindsided. What did Jennifer buy Jackie? A dagger. Yes, really! Well, Jennifer said it was “an ancient Turkish dagger that people used when they wanted to stab people in the back, so I figured I can give you something tangible, so the next time, I can see you coming.” But Jackie refused the gift, saying she did not want the”passive-aggressive gift.” What followed was the women literally throwing the dagger back and forth at each other. Thankfully, the pair made things right, but Jennifer continued to pursue Margaret. When the ladies got drunk at the vineyard, Margaret started chatting about how she met her current husband, Joe. “He was married at the time, and she thought he was gonna leave his wife,” Margaret shared, while Jennifer laughed and said, “I see a pattern here.” “What’s the pattern?” Margaret quizzed. “Your mother was with a married man, and you were with a married man,” Jennifer shot back. “That’s not a pattern. That’s called a coincidence,” Margaret complained. Jennifer then tried to take back her comments, but Margaret was not ready to let this feud die out and complained about Jennifer’s brother and his marriage. “I’m just saying, culturally, it’s very hard to relate to,” Margaret explained. “So you can’t relate to people who have setup marriages, and I can’t relate to people who have affairs with married men,” Jennifer fired back. “Who sleeps in the f–king pool house?! Who sleeps in the pool house?!” screamed Margaret who was getting irate at Jen’s existence. “You avoid making comments on something that you don’t understand, and I’ll avoid making comments on things that I don’t understand, like breaking up a family!” Jennifer yelled. Later in the episode, the ladies attended an event for Milania that celebrated her song’s release, and there were fireworks. Danielle previously told Teresa that Margaret said she was not to trust Teresa or Melissa Gorga. “I never said that,” Margaret said. “You did, and we discussed that at my house right before we had the bachelorette party,” Danielle replied. Margaret said that Staub said to her, “I don’t know who to trust,” and that her response was, “Well then don’t trust anybody.” Margaret eventually walked off because she was tired of the drama. That’s when the husbands started arguing. Marty told Joe that Margaret was “jealous” of Danielle and that “Margaret doesn’t wanna walk into a room with Danielle because nobody will look at Margaret.” Joe did not take that too well, and Joe Gorga stepped in to prevent him from punching Marty. What the hell, right? The Real Housewives of New Jersey continues Wednesdays on Bravo. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!

Over the weekend Love & Hip Hop star Alexis Skyy blasted Blac Chyna , claiming the ex-stripper was cool one second and started bugging out the next…all at a party both ladies attended. According to Skyy, Chyna threw a drink, at which point the altercation turned into a physical fight. On Monday, Rob Kardashian posted Skyy as his #WCW —despite her very recent beef with his baby moms—and hours later Skyy was cooking Rob a full course meal at what appeared to be Kris Jenner ‘s home.

In case you missed Alexis Skyy’s account of what went down between her and Chyna, here’s her side of things: “I am, like, the nicest person in the world,” she began. “I’m sitting down, minding my business. Somebody said, ‘Yo, Chyna is at the party, she wants to kick it wit you.’ So I went over there, I sat with her, we kicked it, we had a drink or two.” “After the second drink we had some Red Bull,” she continued “…and out of nowhere this b*tch starts, ‘B*tch, you gotta get the f*ck up out of my section.’ I said, ‘Who the f*ck are you talking to?’ She’s like, ‘You gotta get up right now.’ So at that point, she starts throwing a drink…we start throwing hands. So from there on, whatever happened, happened. I got kicked out.” Do you think Rob Kardashian had dinner with Alexis Skyy just to throw a shot at his ex? Photo: WENN
Source: Bill Clark / Getty Rep. Steve King Stripped Of House Committee Seats After Racist Remarks You GOTTA be a flaming racist if even the Republicans are kicking you out of their lil’ conservative clubhouse. According to The Washington Post , Rep. Steve King of Iowa was unanimously voted out of his three seats on prestigious House committees Monday afternoon after making yet another extremely racist remark. King has a long history of making comments that earned him the title of bigot, we reported on his most recent racist rhetoric last week when he questioned why white supremacy was such a bad thing. Yes, a man who white people voted into office to govern the United States of America doesn’t see why people are so offended by a lil’ white supremacy. Doesn’t everyone like a lil’ white supremacy in their coffee? No? Just Steve King and 53% of white women? Got it. Sure, maybe some of the GOPers aren’t cool with King’s comments, but he’s literally been saying these things for YEARS. This smells more like damage control for the 2020 election more than righteous indignation toward the fellow red state racist. “That is not the party of Lincoln,” he said of King’s comments. “It is definitely not American. All people are created equal in America, and we want to take a very strong stance about that.” Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California offered this rebuke: “That is not the party of Lincoln,” he said of King’s comments. “It is definitely not American. All people are created equal in America, and we want to take a very strong stance about that.” Oh, are they now? That’s news to us… Continue reading →
Source: Steve Granitz / Getty We pick up tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta with Porsha and Kandi’s argument. They’re just not going to get along and that’s that. Kandi attempts to leave, but Tanya asks her to stay. Kandi obliges and both women manage to ignore each other for the sake of peace. Kandi return unfollows Porsha on all social media and they’re both over it dot com. Dinner continues, and we move on to Eva bringing up NeNe and Tanya’s little tiff. NeNe was annoyed with Tanya for saying that something was low-end fashion that NeNe didn’t consider low-end fashion and said Tanya was pretentious. The item that triggered NeNe were some $100 dollar shades from Swagg Boutique. NeNe owns Swagg Boutique. See where this is going? She probably really felt some type of way about Tanya calling her stuff low end. Anyway, Tanya apologizes for the offense and we move on. Then we get to the part where Porsha calls Eva out about being shady but forgetting her shady comments. Porsha even provides examples of how Eva has constantly shaded Cynthia. Eva suddenly gets amnesia about all of that, thus proving Porsha’s point. Then she says there’s not a shady bone in her body. As if Eva wasn’t shading the life out of people on America’s Next Top Model years before RHOA even existed. Anyway, Porsha then says people should own up to their shade and Kandi is just looking at her like: Because we all know that Kandi feels that Porsha never owns up to her ish…and there’s validity to that given their situation. Anyway, the real reason why we’re at this Tanya/Eva collaboration dinner is so that Eva can apologize for not inviting them to her bachelorette party and tell them she’s taking them to Tokyo as an apology. In other news, Cynthia finally introduces Kandi, Marlo, and Eva to her new man, Mike Hill. They immediately start grilling him, and we all feel like this is a bit immature, but Mike Hill can get with them. He even tells them, “This is Hill, not Will” (you remember the Willi fiasco), which basically means they got the right one. And you already know this group of women brings it with the questions. They ask everything from what he brings to the table, to what he loves most about Cynthia, to what his go-to sex moves are, to his credit score, and even inquire about the last time he had an STD. He answers everything and they’re impressed. He seems honest, very into Cynthia and not shady at all. So far so good. Finally, the episode winds down with Porsha getting her moment to chat with Dennis about all that has been going on. Porsha explains to Dennis that he should have never continued having a conversation with Jami’s friend knowing that she was upset about it. Dennis doesn’t feel like he did anything wrong (aka Porsha may have blown things out of proportion) but Porsha says them hormones got her feeling some type of way and she needs him to own up to his ish. Eventually, Dennis seems to get it and he apologizes. Next week, the Shady Bunch heads East for some drama in Japan.
