Your Fatherhood,” Lauren London captioned in a post showing her, Hussle and their son. “Today we celebrate You. Love you Ermias ” Since Hussle’s tragic passing on March 31, London has kept his name lifted in power, influence. From remembering his legend on 60 Street to how even in death he managed to unite the world one song or word at a time, London has proven time and time again that within her?

Jordan Craig is in no way convinced by Khloe Kardashian’s recent statement. After reports began accusing Khloe of dating Tristan Thompson while he was still with his pregnant and at the time GF, Jordan, back in 2016 – the reality star finally put the stories to rest. But now Jordan is throwing the ball back in her court, saying Khloe’s timeline just doesn’t add up . This “you lose ’em how you get ’em” charade has been going on for far too long — does it really even matter?! Tristan Thompson sucks. The entire world knows that. But for some reason, people are now trying to pin the homewrecker title on to Khloe because in Jordan’s eyes she was the other woman. Both Khloe and Jordan have felt the pain caused by no good Tristan — so can’t they just move on and call it a day? Um, no. Khloe finally shared “her truth” this week after court documents Craig filed this past November (as part of her child support battle against Thompson) surfaced. The claims accused Khloe and Tristan of cheating and Jordan said her pregnancy became “one of the most popular gossip headlines.” She also argued that the drama caused her to have heatlth isses during her pregnancy . But Khloe wasn’t going to sit back and let her name tarnish, of course. “I’m disappointed that I even feel the need to post this but… I need to say my truth,” she began her explanation on her Instagram story. “My truth is: I met Tristan because HE CHOSE to go on a blind date with me.” She then explained how they went on a few dates and Tristan told her about his pregnant ex. “Obviously, I was reluctant about us continuing to date or start a relationship.” But Khloe, being the oh so clever woman that she is, checked with his inner circle and even his mother to double check that his relationship with Craig was over. “He showed me physical proof (correspondence between the two) and had me on calls with his lawyers to prove his point,” she shared. “His best friends, business associates and even his mother told me, him and his ex were broken up before we met.” Sounds like a lot of investigating for just a few dates — maybe she should have trusted her gut back in 2016? “This is my truth!” Khloe continued. She then went on to apologize for the entire situation and just in case Tristan and his inner circle did lie, she’s sorry. “Truthfully, from the deepest parts of my soul, I am sorry!” she wrote. “I’m sorry for any pain that has been created either way.” “No woman deserves to go through anything like this!” she added. But Jordan had 0 empathy. In fact, she found Khloe’s words completely shady. A source from Us Weekly confirmed that Jordan moved on from the cheating drama, but still questions Khloe’s motives. “Jordan does question the timing of Khloe’s very public timeline of events during that time,” said the source. “She insisted that she was unaware that Tristan had dumped her for Khloe,” said the source. “She would have just preferred that Khloe say nothing publicly.” Now that we have both sides on the table — can we just say how ironic it is that Tristan cheated (for the final time) on Khloe with a woman named Jordyn … It’s not important information — but kind of wild. We, of course, feel terrible for both parties involved, especially because both Khloe and Jordan can’t exactly cancel Tristan out of their lives for good. Considering he is a father to both Khloe’s daughter True and Jordan’s son Prince. What a mess. “Jordan really felt for Khloe when Tristan cheated on her,” the source adds. “But she should have realized it before.” We’re pretty sure Khloe is wishing she did too — but on a positive note, she wouldn’t have had True without Tristan.

Britney Spears is giving everyone a heads up – the paparazzi are super toxic, OK?! After the 37-year-old was just trying to have a relaxing vacay with BF Sam Asghari in Miami, paparazzi photos surfaced of Britney on the beach that she claims are totally fake. She was quick to slam the photos for their lack of um, accuracy … and now, she is introducing us all to her new “conspiracy theory ” ! Over the weekend, Britney took to her Instagram stories (oops, she did it again) and blasted the photo agency for allegedly editing her bikini photos. “Hello, and please don’t judge me, I look haggard right now,” she began, adding in the caption that she just got off a jet ski. “But my question to all of you is, a lot of fans in our world today, they always are subject to really criticize people and say that the pictures and videos that they’re posting are either not on time or they’re fake.” “But no one ever really asks, ‘Are the paparazzi pictures fake, and do the paparazzi people do stuff to the pictures and is the news really real?'” “I look like I’m 40 pounds bigger [in the pics] than I am today,” she explained. “This is how I am right now and I’m skinny as a needle.” “You tell me, what is real?” the singer asked her followers. She uploaded her theory shortly after paparazzi spotted and photographed Spears and Asghari holding hands and soaking up the sun before hitting the water. The blonde strutted a light coverup over her bikini while her personal trainer beau went shirtless. They also snapped pics of Asghari helping a struggling Spears onto a boat after the two had some fun diving into the water, according to Entertainment Tonight . Britney has definitely been taking advantage of Instagram lately — especially when it comes to the Stories feature where she can share her thoughts and opinions immediately. Last month, Spears also took to her IG Stories to set the record straight about the #FreeBritney movement , which was legal drama over her conservatorship case and that her team took over her social media accounts. “For those of you who don’t think I post my own videos, I did this video yesterday,” she said in the video at the time. “So, you’re wrong. But I hope you like it.” A source told ET that when it comes to Britney’s Instagram platform, Britney’s situation “hasn’t changed.” “When she wants to post a video, she posts a video, despite advice from family and friends,” said the source. “Of course, sometimes her people are concerned about how she comes across in her videos , but right now Britney would like to exercise her right to do whatever she pleases.” And we think that is not only fair but also totally entertaining to us as viewers, so please — share away! Once the photo agency (MEGA) got word of Britney’s latest rant that accused them of editing her bikini pics, they released a statement: “We think Britney looks great and it’s ludicrous to suggest the photos or video were altered in any way,” they wrote. “They were not.” “We shot thousands of photos of her over the weekend and are very happy to let her see the original files if she so wishes.” “It was good to see her happy and having fun and we wish her well,” the statement concluded. While we just don’t know who to believe here (as this is obviously a case for the FBI) — I think we can all agree that it’s good to see Britney in good spirits once again. And she is beautiful – no matter what size she is or what size someone tries to make her! View Slideshow: Britney Spears Fans Accuse Her Team of Orchestrating Cover-Up, Faking Pics & Videos
With Duggar women scheduled to bring a new life into the world this year, the famous family was hit with some news of the opposite kind over the weekend. Some very awful and sad news involving death, that is: Mary Duggar has passed away. The mother of Jim Bob Duggar, Mary was often featured on both 19 Kids and Counting and its ongoing spinoff, Counting On. We’re still waiting to learn details of how and why she died, but it appears to have been a sudden and unexpeted tragedy, simply based on the way various loved ones reacted yesterday on social media. “We are so sad to share that Grandma Duggar (Mary) passed away Sunday afternoon, June 9th, 2019,” a message shared on the family’s official Facebook page reads. “Mary Lester Duggar grew up in Farmington, Arkansas and was married almost 50 years to J.L. (Jimmy Lee) Duggar who preceded her in death…” This post also included the photo and above and continues: Mary found great joy in sharing her love for Jesus and her own story of how at age 15 she asked Christ to forgive her for her sins. It was at that time she committed the rest of her life to live for Him, a commitment she kept with devotion. She loved to share with others how they too could be forgiven of their sins, live a fulfilling life as a Christian, and one day spend eternity in heaven. Mary – who is survived by her daughter, son, 21 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren – celebrated her final birthday on the same day Jessa Seewald gave birth to her third child . Along with her affect on her family personally, Mary is actually considered responsible for their success professionally as well. She allegedly called several networks in an attempt to gauge interest in airing a TV special about the Duggars many years ago. Wrote Anna Duggar on Instagram in response to this very sad piece of news: Great-Grandma Duggar went to heaven today to be with Jesus! What an awesome woman of faith and such a loving example of God’s love. She was a true soul-winner and loved everyone she met, telling them to turn from sin and trust Jesus for salvation! Miss her soooo much and we cherish each moment we were blessed to spend together! Lots of tears being shed here — grateful for all the prayers! Jill Dillard then chimed in as follows: My heart breaks. My grandma died suddenly today! She was an amazing woman of God and such a great example to so many! Grandma, you are greatly missed by all who knew you! She was a feisty, incredible woman who always took the time to talk about Jesus with everyone she knew! I know she was ready to check outta here and get her new body in heaven before the old one started giving her too much trouble! We miss you so much! Mary Duggar worked as a real estate broker (who owned Good Neighbor Realty) for most of her adult life. She was famous locally for this job, too, known for being the individual who put together the property sale for the John Q. Hammons Holiday Inn & Convention Center in Springdale. We will update this post with more tributes to Mary and more news as it breaks. We send our condolences to the Duggar family at this time. May she rest in peace.

Source: SplashNews / Splash News Marlon Wayans Responds To Negative Comments On Post About Gay Daughter It almost goes without saying how much Marlon Wayans loves his kids. The actor/comedian created a whole show “Marlon” about his life as a single dad which ran for two seasons on NBC — so we don’t know why anyone in their right mind would have the nerve to speak a peep negative about his babies — but a couple of bold MF’ers did. Marlon set them fools straight real quick too. And we’re proud of him. View this post on Instagram Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. A post shared by Marlon Wayans (@marlonwayans) on Jun 2, 2019 at 7:44pm PDT On Sunday Marlon posted this photo of his daughter Amai, 19, with the rainbow sole of her shoe showing along with the caption: Happy pride to my pride and joy. I wouldn’t change one effing thing about you. Love you to the moon around the sun through the galaxies and back again. How beautiful is that? Acceptance and support means the world to most children and Marlon was quick to prove himself ready to go above and beyond. Many of his followers flooded his comments with hearts and messages of support, such as this one: every queer kid deserves a parent like this and this one: Wow you’re a great parent!! She’s lucky to have you!! But not every comment was in support of Marlon’s choice to embrace his daughter: Take this guy hating from the sidelines (and not alone either, the comment received over 400 likes): She’s not old enough to understand what that’s really all about. You have the power to change lives Bro, don’t teach her that Rather than delete the comment, Marlon quickly shut down the argument by saying: “She’s 19. She’s who she is until or until she don’t [sic] choose different. Love her for her not what I want her to be.” Beautiful response. Then there was this one, also not alone in his or her ignorance (with nearly 300 likes) who commented: You think if you support her you are good ??? Being a parent is not about saying yes to everything no you need to say yes on the good things only now just one question if you really support her would you give up being a grandfather because of this stupid decision that she made because as last as remember two girls can’t make a baby Marlon addressed this as well, a little more firmly too! “there’s technology and i got the means,” Marlon responded. ” so thank u shallow fu**er. Go hate your own kids.” There was also someone who simply said “D—n unfollow. Sad s—t.” “Bye,” Wayans commented back with a waving hand emoji. We already loved him, but this just added an extra layer of respect due. There are so many people walking around the world with battered and bruised hearts and egos because their parents didn’t show them this kind of unconditional acceptance. Kudos to Marlon for this.
Welp. We appear to have an answer to the question we posed just a few days ago. In the wake of Kody Brown appearing to hurl some shade in the direction of Meri Brown last week, we wrote about said shade and wondered: How would Meri respond ? Based on Meri’s latest Instagram updates, it seems like she read the criticism, took a deep breath — and then went to the Happiest Place on Earth. Yup: Meri Brown spent this past weekend in Disneyland. “Just a chill day here at Disneyland! If you’re here and see me, don’t be shy, just say hi! I’m doing some shopping, because of course it’s a super fun thing to do, and I love to share the Disney love!” wrote Meri as a caption to the image above. She added along with the one below: “Vintage Mickey at Disney? Yes please!” Perhaps most telling, as it relates to Brown’s posts and her ongoing relationship status, is one of the hashtags she wrote alongside her second caption: #IndependentWoman . Meri has been very open over the years with her dissatisfaction over her marriage to Kody. She actually had an opportunity to date back in 2015 and 2016 … and she then she ended up meeting someone she thought could be a serious possibility online — only to be catfished for the entire world to see. It’s been a challenging road for Meri to come back from this catfishing scandal . As one of four women married to Kody Brown, Meri has confessed that her love life hasn’t turned out the way she once fantasized. But she did claim on a Sister Wives reunion special this spring that she’s doing her best to move on and accept the arrangement as best she can. “What we’ve had to do is discover our new baseline,” Kody on this special, referring to the issues he has faced with Meri and adding: “Every marriage has a baseline, and it gently changes through the years for most people… Meri and I had an abrupt change. “Different culture, Different religious values, we might have just [gotten a divorce], but we’re fortunate enough to be blessed to be a part of a family that is its own culture. “So we continue to move forward working on that, steadily moving in a direction where we’re just fully mended.” Meri echoed this same sentiment on the same episode, yet she did not sound very convincing while doing so. “You have to figure out a way almost to just cut it off and just be dead,” Meri said of her beliefs about her marriage prior to her aforementioned catfishing scandal. “I honestly have had to mourn what is gone.” In conclusion? “I’m looking at a future as well. I am, and I have a lot of hope for what could be.” We guess that sort of sounds promising, but it’s become evident that Meri simply isn’t happy. She’s merely accept this Sister Wives situation because she thinks it’s the best she can do. Making things even more tragic? Kody has been spotted without his wedding ring on and, as documented below, may think he can do better by finding yet another wife: View Slideshow: Kody Brown: In the Market for a 5th Wife?!?
90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? star Nicole Nafziger plans to return to Morocco and marry Azan. She refuses to let hateful, negative comments from “fans” keep her down any longer. In a new post, Nicole is sharing how she keeps a positive attitude in the face of unending adversity. Nicole Nafziger treated her fans and followers to a gorgeous selfie showing off her new, short hair and the natural beauty of her face. “‘Love and peace of mind do protect us,'” Nicole quotes in the caption of this photo. “‘They allow us to overcome the problems that life hands us,'” the quote continues. “‘To survive… to live now.'” “‘To have the courage to confront the each day,'” the quote concludes. Nicole then attributes the inspirational words to Bernie Siegel. (Side note: Nicole looks particularly breathtaking in this cobalt blouse and we cannot get enough of this pic) Though Nicole received the usual barrage of negativity under her positivity post, she also received praise from fans. “You look happy and at peace in this photo!” praises one fan. “That’s all that matters!” “You look so pretty!!!” another follower affirmed. “Don’t listen to the haters on this post.” Among the haters were people telling her that she’s foolish for her continued romance with Azan. In another recent picture, Nicole showed off what a fun and loving mom she is with her adorable daughter, May. “Our lives have been so colorful,” Nicole gushed in the caption. “From the beginning,” she wrote. “There have been twist and turns and you’ve been the bright shinning sun that keeps me going.” “I know things are a little crazy now my dear,” Nicole acknowledged. “But soon it will be just right.” Fans will be reassured that Nicole is admitting that her life is chaotic at the moment. “I want to give you every opportunity in life and more,” she promised. “To see the world and learn the cultures.” Translation: she hopes that her upcoming trip to Morocco will be educational for her daughter. “Discover the world and know its beauty,” Nicole added. “Take chances and never regret a thing,” she recommended.” “I love you,” Nicole concluded. “And I want to give you everything” Fans saw Nicole’s crushing disappointment on Sunday night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? She and Azan had planned a romantic getaway to Grenada, which was apparently the only country that Azan was allowed to visit. That fell through due to some vague “family emergency.” This summer, Nicole plans to move to Morocco, with May in tow, transplanting herself there. After she marries Azan, a ceremony that they’ve continued to postpone, she hopes to acquire a spousal visa so that he can live in the US with her. Some fans have real concerns about May and her education. Where will she go to school? Nicole assures them that things are well in hand, though a little research done by fans reveals that American schools there cost $9000 a year. It’s unclear how the former barista with a fiance who doesn’t work plans to pay that kind of hefty tuition. Other followers think that Azan is just trying to scam Nicole. While some of these doubters are confused by and suspicious of Azan’s strange cancelations and excuses, others have blamed Nicole for being “gullible.” If people would be nicer to Nicole, and find kinder ways to express their concerns if they have to send them at all, she wouldn’t need to “focus on the positive” so dang much.

Teen Mom OG star Maci Bookout has opened up about her relationship with Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer. Or, perhaps it would be more accurate for us to state, her lack of a relationship with these two individuals. The veteran MTV cast member posed for a holiday card with Standifer and ALL the kids shared between them awhile back. This somewhat surprising turn of events caused some observers to think these two were on strong terms … or stronger at least. But are they, really, at the end of the day? And when did Maci last speak to Ryan? Answers await! Scroll down to find them … 1. Are Maci and Mackenzie Friends? Like we mentioned above, we understand why some followers would think this, considering the photo they posed for above. Despite the tough times of the past decade, and his obvious personal problems, they share one beautiful little boy they both love. That should be enough, right? 2. Wow. There are A LOT of Kids There. We’re talking about son Bentley, 10, whom Bookout shares with Edwards; daughter Jayde, 3; and son Maverick, 2, whom she shares with husband Taylor McKinney; Mackenzie’s son Hudson, 4, from a previous relationship; and Jagger, 3 months, whom she shares with Edwards. 3. Don’t Be Fooled, However “We don’t really have a relationship,” Bookout said very simply this week when asked about Standifer by Us Weekly . 4. Oh… No? “It’s not negative. It’s not a bad relationship, there’s just really not one,” Maci added. 5. Makes Sense, Right? All the women have in common is Edwards and, yeah… that’s pretty darn awkward. 6. Where Was Ryan When That Holiday Family Photo Was Snapped? In jail. View Slideshow
