Felicity Huffman & William H. Macy: Headed For Divorce Amid Bribery Scandal?

These days, William H. Macy is best known for his portrayal of reprobate father Frank Gallagher on the long-running Showtime series Shameless . But in real life, it’s Macy’s wife who’s been breaking the law and dropping the ball as a parent. As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Felicity Huffman was one of several public figures ensnared in the FBI sting known as Operation Varsity Blues.  In fact, along with Lori “Aunt Becky” Loughlin, Huffman has become the face of the  college admissions bribery scandal . Huffman shelled out far less money than Loughlin to ensure her daughter’s place in the school of her choice ($15,000 to Loughlin’s $500,000), but it looks as though the impact on her personal life has been just as disastrous. Macy and Huffman have been married for 22 years and are commonly regarded as one one of Hollywood’s most stable couples. But it seems the fallout from the bribery scandal has shaken their marriage to its very foundations. “This situation has been very trying on Felicity and William’s marriage,” a source close to the situation tells Entertainment Tonight. “They love each other but they’ve been arguing a lot.”   Huffman stands accused working with a corrupt college test prep organization to enable her 18-year-old daughter to cheat on the SATs. The actress was arrested without incident last week and later released on $250,000 bond, Macy was not charged. “Felicity and William have an incredibly strong marriage but this situation has put a tremendous amount of pressure on them,” the source adds. “Their close friends were stunned by the news because they’ve always a seemed like honest, good people, people who would never lie and cheat to get what they wanted. “They almost seemed to pride themselves on their honesty.” It seems unlikely that Huffman will serve any jail time, but nevertheless, she faces devastating consequences. Along with Loughlin, Huffman is being sued for $500 billion by people who claim to have been victimized by the actresses’ actions. Obviously, the plaintiffs will not be awarded such an outlandish sum, but the suit serves as a reminder of the public’s profound disdain for Loughlin and Huffman. And as their careers depend on their likability factor, it seems very likely that neither woman will ever find another job in Hollywood.

Anna Duggar: Totally Unrecognizable Following Major Weight Loss!

Usually, when Anna Duggar makes the news, it’s because fans have once again become outraged by the fact that she continues to c-sign the behavior of her monstrous husband. So it’s a nice change of pace to see the beleaguered mother of five making tabloid headlines due to something positive: Believe it or not, that’s the latest pic of Anna. Actually, it’s a screenshot from her since-deleted Instagram story that’s been captured and circulated by Duggar fans who are in awe of her appearance. As you may know, the wife of Bad Touch Josh has been thoroughly committed to fitness in recent months. Just last week, we learned the details of Anna’s workout regimen , and it seems she’s not messing around when it comes to getting her cardio on and shedding those extra pounds. It seems Anna had resolved to walk 50 miles in the month of February. She actually exceeded her goal by 5 miles, and she celebrated by announcing that she intends to step her game up in March. There have been no progress reports on Anna’s “march through March” initiative, but based on her latest pics, the 30-year-old is having no trouble slimming down. Interestingly, the heavily scrutinized screenshot of Anna is from a video in which she spoke with fans about a favorite dessert: “One of many (literally) ‘sweet’ memories I have of my Grandma Stembridge was when she taught my sisters and I how to bake a pie from scratch — crust and all,” Anna captioned the post. “So since it’s National Pi Day we grabbed a bag of apples, headed to Grandma & Grandpa Duggar’s house to feed the animals while they are out of town… and then baked Great-Grandma Stembridge’s apple pie,” she added. “Our children look forward to meeting their Great-grandma in heaven some day — for now we are enjoying her pie!” The video sparked rumors that Josh and Anna’s “comeback tour” is still going strong, and the couple is hoping to return to television sometime in the very near future. Frankly, we’re of the opinion that they’re chasing a pipe dream. Even if the majority of Duggar fans are willing to forget about Josh’s sex crimes (which hopefully they’re not), TLC would likely never approve the re-casting of Josh, and Counting On would be sure to lose advertisers if he returned to the show.  Divorce is forbidden in the Duggars’ world, so Anna is stuck with her philandering husband. But on the bright side, at least she appears to be taking care of herself. View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled

Lady Gaga: Yes, I’m Pregnant!

Lady Gaga has a major announcement to make. She knows it may come as a surprise, but the rumor mill is already churning, so the singer figures she might as well stop pretending and start confirming. So here goes, everybody… … LADY GAGA IS PREGNANT! The beloved artist and recent Oscar winner has confirmed the news herself, although she’s done so with a caveat. No, Gaga, just Tweeted. She isn’t pregnant with a small human being, but rather with a brand new music album. “Rumors I’m pregnant? Yeah, I’m pregnant with #LG6,” wrote Gaga on her wildly popular social media account last night. This marks the first time Gaga has referenced new tunes on the way. She lent her voice, of course, to A Star is Born soundtrack won a Grammy, a Golden Globe and an Academy Award for the single “Shallow.” But the 32-year-old last released an actual studio album in 2016, as “Joanne” debuted at number-one and spawned smash tracks such as “Million Reasons” and “Perfect Illusion. As for that other kind of pregnancy chatter? We have Star Magazine’s latest cover story to thank/blame for it… On the heels of Gaga splitting from fiance Christian Carino , and with the world thinking she’s totally banging Bradley Cooper , the tabloid published an article that alleged Gaga is pregnant. “It makes sense that she would’ve only just found out,” an anonymous source told this publication, explaining in more made-up detail: “Gaga was partying throughout most of awards season, but then she stopped. It didn’t go unnoticed that she avoided booze at the Oscars.” But does the supposed baby belong to Carino, Cooper or even another, undisclosed lover? This is the question on everyone’s minds! “The first thing everyone will want to know is whose baby this is,” Star writes, adding: “If there’s any question at all, the belief is that Gaga and her most recent lovers will demand a DNA test.” How lovely, editors. Not only did you just conjure up a pregnancy rumors, which is pretty darn personal and insensitive — but you implied that Gaga has been sleeping around so much that she wouldn’t even know the identity of the father. Actually, scratch that: You didn’t imply it. You straight up wrote it! As for the album, which is an actual fact we can safely report on, few details are available at the moment. Some fans had been worried that Gaga would make the full-time transition to acting after the success of A Star is Born , so they’re very thankful this doesn’t appear to be the case. Gaga also recently started following Rihanna on Instagram, leading some to think a collaboration may be in the works. How amazing would that be?!? Speaking of amazing, we’ll leave you with this performance of Gaga and Cooper singing “Shallow” at the Oscars. Be warned, however: You may get pregnant just be viewing it… Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper Sing “Shallow,” Get All of America Pregnant

Michelle Duggar: Does She Even Know How to Cook?

For years, fans of the Duggar family have wondered just how much parenting Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar do in a given day. We know that’s an odd question to ask of a couple who’s raised 19 children, and the obvious answer would seem to be “a lot.” But over the years, Jim Bob and Michelle have spent a lot of time traveling and tending to their many business ventures while their household seemingly ran itself. But it didn’t run itself, of course. A tremendous amount of work went into clothing and feeding so many children — but much of it was done by the Duggar children themselves. Much has been made of how many chores Jana Duggar seems to do around the home, but she’s certainly not alone. All of the older Duggars help out around the house, especially in the kitchen. In fact, some fans claim there’s evidence that Michelle hasn’t done any cooking of her own in years. Indeed, it’s difficult to find any indication that Michelle spends much time in the kitchen these days. Though to be fair, she’s admitted in the past that it wouldn’t be possible to feed such a large brood if everyone didn’t pitch in. “Some of the boys are really good cooks. They have lots of fun getting in there and being creative,” Michelle once wrote in a blog post. “We usually have teams of three or four kids that’ll work together on the cooking. … There’s a leader and then the rest of them follow the instructions of the leader.” In the same post, Michelle went into detail regarding the challenges of grocery shopping for such a sizable family. “Our goal for our monthly food budget is $3,000. It used to be more like $2,000, but we’ve noticed the costs of groceries have gone up,” she wrote.  “For groceries, we mainly shop at discount grocery stores, warehouse clubs and co-ops. You can save thousands of dollars by doing just that,” she added. “We buy mostly in bulk and stock up once a month on staples like butter, cereal and oats–it’s just cheaper.” Michelle says that out of necessity, she does all of the grocery shopping, as budgeting remains a challenge, even as the older kids leave the house and start families of their own. As for the actual cooking, Michelle admits to receiving a considerable amount of help from her offspring. And tellingly, she’s dodged questions about whether she knows how to cook at all. Fans have made much of the Duggars’ bizarre dinner concoctions over the years, with descriptors such as “prison food” being thrown about frequently. So is it possible that such odd combinations as barbecue sauce and canned tuna are a result of the fact that no one in the house really knows their way around a kitchen? We may never kniow for sure, but it would certainly explain a lot. View Slideshow: Duggar Family: Secrets of Their Twisted Ministry Revealed

Jersey Shore Cast Showers Sammi Sweetheart With Love Following Engagement!

Call the girls, Sammi “The Sweetheart” Giancola is going to be a bride!  The 31-year-old former MTV star announced on Tuesday that she is engaged to Christian Biscardi .  After Sammi shared a picture of her longtime boyfriend down on one knee, her Jersey Shore co-stars were quick to congratulate her on the news .  “I’m completely overwhelmed with happiness,” she captioned the photo. “Yesterday was the best day of my life! I get to marry my other half, best friend, and soulmate. I look forward to spending the rest of my life with you!” She also added engagement ring emojis and hashtagged fiance and Mrs. Biscardi.  Her new (obviously) tan and well-built fiance also shared the pic to the Gram along with the caption, “I am beyond excited to get to marry my best friend!” “Here’s to the future Mr. & Mrs. Biscardi.” He also joked on Sammi’s comment section, writing, “I love you and I’m equally thrilled that no one is going to tell me to put a ring on it 76,000 times a day!” Oops, my bad.  Sammi and Christian have been together for a little more than two years, which gave fans plenty of time to get over her most notable relationship with on-and-off again co-star Ronnie Oritz-Magro.  Which as most everyone knows, did not end well.  Sammi was the only original Jersey Shore cast member who decided to skip out on the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation reunion show.  At the time, she admitted she was focusing on her “business and relationship” instead and that she also wanted to “avoid potentially toxic situations.” AKA Ron.  And although she stayed at home while her fellow co-stars were living it up in Miami Beach, she still remains very close to (some of) her MTV family. Most of whom were ecstatic for her engagement news!  “OMG I’M SCREAMING SAMANTHA I LOVE YOU!” Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi wrote on her Instagram post. She added, “You deserve the world and I love him!” Jennie “Jwoww” Farley, who is currently going through a nasty divorce from husband Roger Mathews , even expressed her excitement saying, “omg! omg omg I’m so freaking happy for you!” “FINALLY!” Angelina Pivarnick commented. “Congrats love!” adding a series of lips and raising hand emojis.  DJ Pauly D even simply wrote, “Congrats Sam!!!” But to none of our surprise, Ronnie’s name did not appear in the comment section of the post.  Although he’s been in a recent, sometimes  violent, relationship with his baby mama, Jen Harley, many Jersey Shore fans have accused Ronnie of still having feelings for Sam.  And after the engagement news broke, fans worried about how Ron, who is newly sober, would take it.  “Welp… There goes Ronnie off the deep end. But seriously… Congrats to a healthy relationship,” a fan wrote on Twitter according to Ashley’s Reality Roundup.  Another user commented saying, “Yay! Congrats. You needed someone who loves you for you. And who doesn’t bring drama to your life, and who treats you right… sorry Ron.” But I like to give Ronnie the benefit of the doubt since he has put in somewhat of an effort to change his life around, and I’m sure he is in some way happy for Sammi.  Well, we can only hope. We also can’t forget about Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, who I’m sure would have shared his love if he wasn’t well, stuck behind bars.  Sam and Christian have yet to reveal when or where they plan to wed, though it probably won’t be televised considering she now prefers life out of the spotlight.  But either way, we can’t wait for their big day!  Especially to see which of Sammi’s former roomies will be in attendance.  View Slideshow: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Reveals Rehab Stint, Admits Hitting Rock Bottom

R. Kelly Flips the EFF Out in First Interview Since Arrest

R. Kelly has been accused of being a monster. And, in his first sit-down interview since being arrested on 10 counts of sexual assault , the artist exhibited some truly monstrous behavior. R. Kelly, of course, has faced allegations of inappropriate conduct for years. Numerous outlets have reported on how the singer has slept with underage girls and how a sex tape once revealed that he urinated on at least one of these victims. More recently, the singer has faced charges of kidnapping young women and holding them hostage as part of some disgusting sex cult . Talking to Gayle King of CBS News on Wednesday about these accusations, R. Kelly initially sat calmly and answered the reporter's questions. Said King at one point: Women have come forward and said, “R. Kelly had sex with me when I was under the age of 18. R. Kelly was abusive to me emotionally and physically and verbally. R. Kelly took me in a black room where unspeakable things happened.” This is what they're saying about you. Responds R. Kelly, Not True. Gayle King : Correct me if I'm wrong that you've never held anybody against their will? R. Kelly : I don't need to. Why would I? How stupid would it be for R. Kelly, with all I've been through in my way, way past, to hold somebody, let alone 4, 5, 6, 50, you said – how stupid would I be to do that? This, naturally, is a very strange line of defense. It's very odd phrasing to continually use the word stupid when talking about behavior and actions that any rational-minded person would label as heinous and despicable. This is also right around the time that R. Kelly absolutely loses it. “Is this camera on me?” he asks King, who answers in the affirmative. The disgraced star then takes it upon himself to give a performance, to address viewers directly while crying, ranting and raving as follows: That's stupid! Use your common sense. Forget the blogs, forget how you feel about me. Hate me if you want to, love me if you want. But just use your common sense. H ow stupid would it be for me, with my crazy past and what I've been through – oh right now I just think I need to be a monster and hold girls against their will, chain them up in my basement, and don't let them eat, don't let them out, unless they need some shoes down the street from their uncle! It's quite a display. Check out the video featured here to watch this gross individual beg, plead and make a guilty fool of himself.

Caryn Chandler: Matt Roloff and Baby Jackson Have My Whole Heart!!

Little People, Big World star Matt Roloff has been hounded by engagement rumors for a while now. To be fair, he and girlfriend Chandler are very close. She spends a lot of time with him — and with his family. In the cutest new photo, the two of them are spending some quality time with their adorable grandbaby, Jackson. Caryn Chandler posted a cozy pic of her with boyfriend Matt Roloff and precious baby Jackson Roloff. Jackson is happily seated between the two adults, and they are all dressed in layers for warmth. “It’s freezing in Portland …” Caryn acknowledges in her captions. “But,” she continues. “My heart melts when I hang with these two.” Good company really is the best way to endure any weather. We cannot get over how unspeakably adorable baby Jackson’s face is in this photo. Just look at him! Matt loved the pic so much that he shared it on his own Instagram. “This little farmer is soooo easy to hang with!” Matt praised Jackson in the caption. “He should write the book,” Matt suggested. “How to manage a grandpa!” That is super cute. Though some people believe that Caryn Chandler will murder Matt Roloff, most fans are onboard with this relationship. That said, seeing Caryn go from employee to part of the family hasn’t been easy for everyone. Almost a year ago, Amy Roloff opened up about how that romance impacts her as a grandmother. “Seeing her with Jackson [and the other family members] … It’s difficult,” Amy confessed in May. She admitted: “It’s definitely been the hardest thing to watch.” Being honest with yourself about your feelings is the first step to working through them. Good for her for facing that head-on. Caryn has been close to the Roloff family for a long time. When Matt and Amy separated and divorced, it was a huge adjustment for everyone involved. When they each began to date again, that too was a big deal for them and for their family. But Matt is dating Caryn and Amy is dating Chris Marek. Some fans still grumble or hurl wild accusations that these new love interests are just gold diggers or interested in fame. But most care about Amy and Matt and are thrilled to see them so happy. Unfortunately, there is a dark side to some of the trolls who like to bash Caryn and Chris. The best of them just wanted to see Matt and Amy reconcile because they liked them as a couple. (Even then, they shouldn’t be bombarding anyone with hate) The worst of them — the ones who seem so suspicious of Caryn and Chris — are dealing with prejudice. It seems that some of them just don’t believe that a tall person would fall in love with a little person. They need to work through their issues and get those horrible misconceptions out of their minds. People fall in love all of the time. Matt and Amy’s kids had to adjust to their parents’ new love lives, but they’re all adults. But this is nothing but a boon to their grandchildren, who essentially get two more grandparents out of the deal. It’s so sweet to see Caryn and Matt spending time with Jackson. We’re glad that they are all keeping warm during this cold weather. We know that the winter has been intense, but a lot of us will be missing these temps in a few months.

That is a photo of Khloe Kardashian dressed as a pimp. She is carrying dog leashes that are wrapped around the necks of four Black women who—if we’re sticking with the theme, are dressed as hoes. The implications of this are numerous and negative—but also very symbolic of the relationship the Kardashians have to Black women.

And the idea of a White woman not only being superior to Black women—and the chains, with this country’s history of slavery is just never okay. The picture looks like it was taken at a Halloween party, years ago. Still, it’s inexcusable for all parties involved: for the White woman who would treat her “friends” like this and the Black women who would allow themselves to be seen and photographed in this manner.

In a recent Instagram post by Chaka Bars, Good was asked to explain herself and she commented, saying: “That one time on Halloween when you were young and dumb…and clearly didn’t think 15 years ahead lol smh.
