Amber Portwood Reveals Baby Name on Twitter!

Back in November, we learned that Amber Portwood is pregnant with her second child . Amber revealed that she’s expecting a boy , but other than that, she’s been mostly tight-lipped about the pregnancy. Given some of the negative reactions to Amber’s recent social media posts, we suppose we can’t blame her. After all, it was just earlier this week that Amber was slammed for posting an “inappropriate” photo of her daughter. There was nothing provocative about the pic, but the girl was apparently positioned too close to Amber’s boyfriend for some fans’ liking. It’s a jungle out there, and Portwood’s plight isn’t made any easier by the fact that her new dude, Andrew Glennon, has a seriously sketchy past . The point is, we can see why Amber isn’t big on sharing the details of her personal life these days. Unfortunately for her, the life of a reality star doesn’t allow for much in the way of privacy. Amber’s every social media interaction is scrutinized by millions of fans, and it looks as though Teen Mom: OG obsessives have unearthed some information that Amber may have preferred to keep private. The intel comes courtesy of a Twitter conversation between Amber and her brother Shawn. Shawn posted an obscured photo of Amber’s homemade Christmas present without revealing what it was. Along with the image, he posted this message: “I finally completed your gift. However, I’m not going to show it to you so you’ll see it tomorrow. I will send you this though.” “Awe Bubby I can’t wait!! I’m sure little James will love it!” Portwood replied. Yes, it seems Amber and Andrew will be naming their baby James. The moniker was reportedly selected due to the fact that it’s also Glennon’s middle name. Amber has yet to delete the tweet, but we can’t imagine she intended to make the reveal in such a low-key fashion. Whatever the case, the name is out there now, and fans have been vocal in their praise for Amber’s classic selection. Watch Teen Mom: OG online to relive the many, many times that Ms. Portwood did not make the right decision. View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: Mom-Shamed After “Ditching” Daughter!

Arie Luyendyk Jr. Throws Shade, Feuds with Jef Holm!

If you follow The Bachelor Spoilers , you have a pretty good idea of how this season is going to end. But what will be next for Arie and his new love? Arie’s former bestie  Jef Holm is betting $5k that Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s Bachelor relationship doesn’t last a year . Coming from a former friend, those are what you’d call fighting words . And Arie’s hitting back with some shade of his own. It doesn’t look like their feud is going away any time soon. Two days before the big announcement that he would be this season’s leading man, Arie Luyendyk Jr. dumped his girlfriend to become The Bachelor . That didn’t sit too well with some people. Because it made him seem hungry to build his brand rather than to find love, but also because it grossed some people out. His ex was, after all, a real person. With feelings. Jef Holm was more than happy to add fuel to the Arie-hating fire, saying of his former friend: “I stopped being friends with him years ago because he’s disgusting.” Holm then teased: “Oh, the stories I could tell….” And now, during the premiere of Arie’s season, Jef Holm has tweeted out an offer: “Doesn’t matter who gets out of the limo…I’ll give 5k to the charity of @chrisbha​rrison’s choice if @ari​ejr lasts 1 year with anyone.” That is perhaps the most vicious offer of charity that we’ve ever seen on Twitter. Arie Luyendyk Jr. responded, telling Access Hollywood : “[He’s] throwing a lot of shade, but we haven’t talked in four years since Sean [Lowe’s] wedding.” Arie’s response continues: “I have no clue [why Jef is bitter]. That’s kind of a question for him more than me.” Arie also says that Jef Holm “would have lost his own bet, I guess.” Ouch . Overall, Arie’s trying to be as dismissive as possible towards Jef without, you know, painting himself as the bad guy. “I have so much to concentrate on with this and I’m just trying to stay positive.” He also has a line that’s a bit tone-deaf for a guy sometimes believed to be selfish and egotistical: “I’m just concentrating on me.” Chris Bukowski had told Life & Style : “Obviously, he and Arie were like best friends and they’re no longer. They’re not friends” Bukowski, of course, had also made it into the Final Four. So he would know. “I don’t know the whole story because they were best friends and then they ended up hating each other.” We’d all like to know what exactly led Jef Holm to believe that Arie was “disgusting.” “Arie definitely has a better relationship with the show, the producers, than Jef does.” Clearly, since Arie is now playing the titular role on The Bachelor . “So, I don’t know if Jef is [now] reaching to sort of [stay relevant], but at the same time, it’s like Arie’s time.” We’d all love to know. If producers are really that fond of Arie, maybe they won’t be eager to give Jef Holm a platform. Or, maybe — when the season’s over — they’ll invite Jef Holm to speak his mind about Arie. We would be eager to hear what Holm has to say. Isn’t everyone? It may be that Arie’s fiancee will wish that she’d heard Holm’s take on Arie before she accepted his ring.

Rose Marie Dies; Veteran Actress Was 94

Rose Marie, a veteran actress and show business legend best known for her role on The Dick Van Dyke Show, died Thursday at her home in California. She was 94 years old. The late star’s publicist has confirmed the sad news. Marie’s extensive career started as a child singing sensation in the 1920s and 1930s. In an interesting note, she was the last surviving entertainer to have charted a hit before World War II. Pretty cool, right? The artist and actress landed her first major TV role in 1960 on the CBS sitcom My Sister Eileen, prior to rising to prominence alongside Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore. Marie portrayed Sally Rogers on all five seasons of The Dick Van Dyke Show; she was nominated for an Emmy Award in 1963, 1964 and 1966. “We were a tight-knit, hard-working crew,” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2004, adding at the time: “I couldn’t wait to get to the set each day.” Marie appeared on several television shows and films, and was also became active in animal welfare issues as the years went on. Born Rose Marie Mazetta on August 15, 1923, the multi-talented star began acting and singing at age three, performing on stage at New York’s Mecca Theater. She was dubbed “Baby Rose Marie the Child Wonder” and was often heard on the NBC Radio Network. In the 1930s, Marie toured in vaudeville; and in the 1940s, she performed in nightclubs and theaters, even becoming a co-headliner on opening night of the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. Later in life, Marie gained new fans as a frequent celebrity on Hollywood Squares. How frequent? Marie appeared on 629 episodes of the game show! She received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2001. All in all, Marie’s amazing career spanned nine decades and was chronicled in the documentary “Wait for Your Laugh,” which was released earlier this year. Tweeted Carl Reiner, who created The Dick Van Dyke Show, upon learning of Rose’s passing: I was so sad to learn of the passing of Rosemarie. There’s never been a more engaging & multi-talented performer. In a span of 90 years, since she was four, dear Rosie performed on radio, in vaudeville, night clubs, films, TV, & Vegas & always had audiences clamoring for “more!!” May she rest in peace.

Will Fired Omarosa Snitch On Trump About Russia Collusion?

Original post:

A fter being fired , Omarosa Manigault could redeem her sunken self by marching straight into special counsel Bob Mueller’s office and telling him everything she knows about Russian collusion with her now-former boss’ administration. But the question is, will she? Because of her close association with the president and her exclusive access in the White House, she may have been privy to some damning information that could help bring about the demise of the president and his associates. Omarosa: “Dear Mueller, I come to you with critical information that you will find useful in your current investigation regarding Russian interference….” pic.twitter.com/qgBD2zVi2Z — Professor Freez (@proffreez) December 13, 2017 The former “Apprentice” star-turned presidential adviser was reportedly forcibly removed from the White House late Tuesday night around the time the Donald Trump -endorsed and accused pedophile Republican Roy Moore lost Alabama’s special election for the Senate.  Black women in particular were credited for helping to push Doug Jones past the finish line in Tuesday’s election, a factor that likely added to the burden of being the lone African-American woman in the White House, according to BuzzFeed News. READ MORE: Omarosa Just Got Fired By Trump For The Second Time “She struggled with being an African-American senior staffer, with all the racial incidents in the White House, and I think it was starting to weigh on her,” an anonymous White House staffer told BuzzFeed News . White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief for American Urban Radio Networks tweeted a vivid picture of the episode that may as well have included Omarosa removing her earrings and shoes in preparation for a street fight at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Okay the White House still contends Omarosa signed a resignation letter. But Gen Kelly Kicked her out will high drama with the Minister offering vulgarities and curse words as she was escorted out of the building and off campus — AprilDRyan (@AprilDRyan) December 13, 2017 Because of that alleged treatment, Omarosa could easily be compelled to snitch on the very man who launched her career (and fired her twice). Chances are she’ll eventually join the chorus of witnesses subpoenaed by Mueller to help bolster his case against the president and his top associates’ alleged efforts to rig the 2016 election. Omarosa was fired. She didn’t resign. She was fired. Just like Flynn, Spicer, Reince, The Mooch, Bannon & Trump’s other minions who are now all great witnesses for Mueller. Omarosa was fired. Period. — Scott Dworkin (@funder) December 13, 2017 It reportedly took Trump’s infamous “both sides” response to last summer’s White nationalist violence in Charlottesville to rouse Omarosa from her apparent slumber. Shortly afterward, reports  emerged that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly wanted her gone. Regardless of how it came to be, Omarosa was expected to officially leave the White House as a member of the administration early next month, making her the latest Black woman who Trump now has good reason to fear.
