June Shannon: Secret Boyfriend’s Identity Revealed!

You know how the world recently learned that June Shannon has a secret boyfriend who taught her how to love again ? Mama June gushes about him and the two kiss on the From Not to Hot season 2 trailer, but his actual identity has been kept pretty hush-hush. But now we know his name … and a lot more about him. While it’s great that June’s new size 4 figure is helping her find happiness, for a lot of viewers, the news that June Shannon was dating again brought up … mixed feelings. After all, June was infamously seen cozying up to Mark McDaniel … a convicted sex offender whom June’s own daughter, Anna Cardwell, accuses of molesting her. The only good reason anyone can think of for a mother to spend time with the man who molested her then-8-year-old daughter while her then-three-year-old daughter (Lauryn) was also on the bed is if she had been planning to murder him. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was canceled over that scandal. It was years before the final episodes were aired and before June Shannon made her (real) reality television comeback with From Not to Hot . Thankfully, Mama June does not appear to be repeating such an unimaginable mistake. RadarOnline reports that Mama June’s new boyfriend is Geno Doak, a 42-year-old carpenter.  June had previously stated, without naming her beau, that the two had met through mutual friends. Apparently, that also involved her hiring him to fix up her home in Hampton, Georgia. Geno Doak is also a single parent, as he has one son and two daughters. What’s more — these two have dated before. Way back in 2015, in fact. As we previously reported, Mama June hasn’t been able to resist gushing about her then-mystery boyfriend. “He is very, very awesome,” she told E! Well, she definitely sounds enthusiastic about the guy. “He actually restored my faith and the girls’ faith in men.” That’s pretty profound. Before you question why a girl as young as Alana might need her faith in men restored, remember that she has eyes and has also probably noticed her mother’s relationships over the years. June also talks about what makes her love Geno. “It’s the little things…he is above and beyond anything that I could ever expect.” She talks about how this happy romance got started. “We honestly were just wanting to be friends and things just worked out.” A lot of relationships begin that way. RadarOnline confirms that Geno Doak will appear on the second season of From Not to Hot , by the way. We’d figured as much. But we already knew that June’s ex, Sugar Bear, and his new wife would be appearing on the new season, too. And apparently June does not give one flying flip what he thinks about her new relationship. “As long as I’m happy and the girls are happy at the end of the day, that’s all that matters to me.” It sounds like she has her priorities in order.

Exclusive: “To Rome For Love’s” Ashley Russell Said She Went On Show After Footballer Fiancee Cheated

“To Rome For Love” Premieres Jan. 7 On Bravo One of the stars of a new reality show about black women seeking love internationally said she decided to go abroad after ending a toxic relationship with her pro footballer fiancee. “I wanted to be part of this experience because dating, it’s changed. It’s changed a lot,” Ashley Russell said of her new show “To Rome For Love.” “I’m from a small town, and I grew up in a single parent home. Everybody here knows everybody. I wanted to go outside the norm and experience something different.” Russell is among a group of black women on “To Rome For Love,” who have struck out in America’s dating culture and opted to spend six weeks in Rome to explore relationships with Italian men. The Covington, La. native said that after her nine-year relationship with her pro-football playing fiancee ended because of his infidelity, she didn’t have anything to lose. “I fell in love with a man who was very powerful,” Russell said. “So I was always in the back…I was second to his career. I was never secure about myself. It was hard coming from this relationship and trusting that I could find love again.” While Russell was coy on whether she’d found her own “Italian Stallion,” she did say that she had no shortage of admirers and said her time with the show’s relationship expert Diane Valentine, changed how she saw herself. Bravo Media/ Philippe Antonello/ Ernesto Ruscio “Diane made me realize that I was enough,” Russell said. “It’s all about the person that’s inside. It had nothing to do with what I looked like. For a long time, I thought it was about the outer appearance. I thought that would help me find a man. She helped me realize that I’m an amazing woman with a lot to offer.” Russell said that she hopes viewers – and especially black women – will take away from the show that all love starts from within. “I just want them to keep their minds open about the process,” Russell said. “And as black women, I want us to remember that whether it’s Rome, whether it’s Tennessee, or whether its Louisiana, you have to love yourself. For people to love you, you have to accept yourself.”

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.

Nice Try Tamartians! Laura Govan Further Explains Why She’d Never Smash Serial Mouth-Breather Vince

WENN.com/Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic Rumor control… Laura Govan Denies Vincent Herbert Claims Again After already denying any involvement with Vincent Herbert, Laura Govan is doubling down on her statement. As previously reported Laura called in to “The Breakfast Club” and told them that Vince is far from her type. “I don’t even know Vince like that, I think he’s a great guy but he’s so not my type,” said Laura who’s currently in a secret swirly relationship. “I like em a lighter, a little whiter.” She also added that the affair rumors are 100% false. Now Laura’s reaffirming that message on E! Online’s “The Daily Pop.” She appeared on the program Wednesday and told the hosts that rumors of her being pregnant are “funny” but rumors that she’s the woman Vince cheated with are no laughing matter. “That part is laughable, but the rest isn’t,” said Laura. “You know at first it’s like, ‘Is this a joke?’ Because I literally woke up to something that is just not true and I was thinking, ‘I’ve worked so hard to get away from certain stigmas and all the drama from before. […] “It’s just [that] nothing is true and it’s so hard for me to not go in…” Laura added that she “can’t fight the world” and she’s learning to stay focused on her work and her The Sac podcast. Oh, and as far as why her name was brought up in the drama, Laura has an inkling as to why but can’t speak on it for legal reasons. “I have an idea why [I was brought up] but it’s something I can’t discuss litigation wise,” said the reality star. If you believe the internet, the woman who’s allegedly pregnant by Vince knows Laura which is why Tamar was asking her to speak on it. Watch Laura Govan on The Daily Pop below.

Laura Govan Denies Smashing Vince—But Why’s Gilbert Arenas Jumping In?

WENN.com/Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic Rumor control… Laura Govan Denies Vincent Herbert Hookup Rumors Tamar Braxton’s got it all wrong. Laura Govan’s NOT getting smashed to post-Basketball Wives bits by Vincent Herbert —if you believe Laura herself. As previously reported an IRATE Tamar went in on Vince claiming that the producer’s expecting a baby with a sleazy side chick and in her comments section she made reference to Laura Govan. “Cause her baby daddy said they were f****g around @LauraGovan,” wrote Tamar. “Ain’t that your homegirl? People then speculated that Tay Tay was accusing Laura Govan of sleeping with Vince and she got dragged for being a “homewrecker” in her comments section. Furthermore, her perpetually petty baby’s father Gilbert Arenas harped on the situation and gave Vince some advice; RUN. Laura’s adamant however that it’s completely untrue and she’s happily booed up with a swirly mystery man. TheShadeRoom reports; “Vincent is not my type…at all,” said Laura. “I have nothing but respect for Tamar and Vince, but none of this is true. Apparently Tamar had been a little inebriated while she was talking reckless on Instagram. I would never, ever disrespect her in that way, but, understandably, she’s hurt.” Laura continued, “Gil is just trolling, because he’s upset that I’ve moved on.” Laura has been mixing some creme in her dulce de leche—a white boy-toy whom she’s been dating for over a year. She tells us that she’s in love and her man is not happy with Gilbert showing out with the pettiness. “Instead of spreading lies about me, Gil should be focusing on paying his child support,” which the former NBA player has been negligent on since September. “I’ve done a good job of ignoring all of the lies and hurtful things he’s done towards me for the past two years. I’m good on the bullsh*t!” BLOOOOP! Rumors are swirling that the woman in question is actually a close friend of Laura’s. We’re SURE her identity will be revealed soon. Hit the flip for the latest page in the Tamar and Vince drama that includes more from Gilbert Arenas.

So Sad: DC Teen Boy Shot And Killed For His $220 Jordan Sneakers

Nike Retro Air Jordan 11 Basketball Sneakers Washington, DC Teen Shot and Robbed Of His New Jordan Sneakers This is sad… Mother of a teen slain in Washington, DC thinks his life was taken over a pair of sneakers. According to the Washington Post,  a gunman shot James Anthony Smith on a basketball court at the Frederick Douglass Community Center. He was found a block away, on a street, shoeless. He died less than two hours later at a hospital. The teen boys’ mother, who gifted him the $220 pair of shoes early to her son, says he was murdered over his sneakers. “He was an all-American kid,” said his mother, who works at a day-care center. “He loved his red shoes. He loved basketball. He loved his computer games. . . . I can’t believe he was killed, all over a pair of shoes.” James was a Ballou High School sophomore and only got to enjoy his new shoes for four days after his mother splurged on them. So far, no arrests have been made in the case.
