Source: John Gunion / Getty The internet was in shambles back in January after Surviving R. Kelly aired. The famed singer has faced sexual misconduct accusations for more than two decades, but it was Lifetime’s 6-part doc that finally put the nail in his pied piper coffin—or so we pray. As several women came forward in the documentary to describe how they were controlled and abused by Kelly , fans and critics of the accused pedophile began arguing online about whether or not the world really needed to #MuteRKelly. Obviously, the answer is YES…but unreasonable stans argued they could “separate the art from the artist” …that the man has nothing to do with the music. How? Supporting the art literally puts money in the artist’s pocket. Not to mention, R. Kelly alluded to his abuse of young Black girls all throughout the music he wrote from himself and others. Now music lovers are having the same “art vs. artist” argument after watching Leaving Neverland , the agonizing documentary about the alleged abuse two boys faced at the hands of the late Michael Jackson . Should we mute MJ? Stevie Wonder doesn’t seem to think so… “He’s died, he’s dead. Hopefully, we can continue the legacy of inspiration he has given a lot of kids and a lot of people,” he told TMZ . Hit the flip to see what folks have had to say on the topic.

TLC favorites are crossing over! On March 7, the OutDaughtered star Danielle Busby took to Instagram to announce to her fans that she is partnering with Always More, a clothing company started by former Little People, Big World star Audrey Roloff. And we’re cheering hard. “One thing is for sure, this @shopalwaysmore NEW ROSE SHERPA is a.m.a.z.i.n.g!” Danielle wrote while modeling the fluffy sweatshirt. “It literally is the softest out of all my sherpas I own.” She concluded her post by sharing her personal code: danielle15 for her fans to receive a discount. And she also, of course, tagged Audrey and her husband Jeremy Roloff in the pic. It took the new mom approximately three seconds to chime in, writing “LOVEEEEEEE” with three heart emojis in the comment section. Her sister-in-law even shared her support, writing “get it girl!” to the mother of 6. But the fans brought the most excitement, writing, “My two favorite worlds colliding!!!!” Another agreed, saying, “Love @shopalwaysmore!! And I love watching two amazingly strong women like you @dbusby and @audreyroloff!” Audrey introduced her Always More brand via her blog where she shared the meaning behind the words. “Over the years I have kept every pair of running shoes that I have ever had. I spray paint them red, write notes on/in them, say a prayer, and throw them on telephone wires near places significant to my life,” she wrote. “It has become my way of letting go of a certain season in my life, and embracing a new one.” “On the bottom of every pair I write “ALWAYS MORE,” she continued. “These words represent the way I strive to live, based on my motives for living that way.” This isn’t the first member of the TLC fam to show their love towards Audrey’s multiple ventures. Just three weeks earlier, Jinger Duggar from Counting On posted a sweet photo with her hubby Jeremy Vuolo with the message, “He is everything I asked God for in a husband – he loves Christ supremely, is loving, compassionate, caring, humble, and sincere.” “Every day with you is sweeter than the day before – I love you, baby! #3sentencelovestory @beating50percent.” Beating 50 Percent is another one of Audrey’s passion projects which is all about beating the divorce rate statistics and staying married no matter what, so totally appropriate for the devoted Duggar fam . And while Danielle is most likely receiving a commission for every item she sells using her code, Jinger seems to be simply a fan of the concept of Beating 50 Percent. But there’s nothing at all wrong with Danielle’s position, I mean, she does have six children at home to feed and we totally back the duo’s partnership. Fans were shocked to learn of the somewhat recent news that Audrey and Jeremy Roloff were leaving the show Little People, Big World . However, I’m sure they can rest easy knowing that the two aren’t completely shutting TLC out of their life, considering the remaining friendly support. We think it’s great the moms are teaming up and we hope to see even more from them in the future! View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: Why They REALLY Quit Little People, Big World
DING! DING! DING! We have a Real Housewives of New Jersey rivlary on our hands. And this one is nice, juicy and very personal. Earlier this week, on the final part of that show’s latest reunion special, Teresa Giudice spoke in no uncertain terms about the current and future status of her marriage. With husband Joe Giudice scheduled to be released from jail this month, and then deported back to Italy for committing a felony as a non-U.S. citzen, Teresa told Andy Cohen that this will signal the end of her marriage . She spoke rather plainly about her view on the situation as well. “I mean, unless my kids say, ‘Mommy, I want to move to Italy,” we aren’t moving there with him, Teresa said, adding of her four daughters: “Gia’s going to college next year; I haven’t spoken to Milania or Audriana about it, we haven’t gotten there yet; and Gabriella already voiced her opinion to me. “She was like, ‘That would be so hard for me, Mommy.’ She doesn’t speak the language. She’s like, ‘That would kill me even more.’” The veteran reality star went on to say these kids – Gia, 18, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9 — have “been through so much already.” Which is true. But it’s because their parents are selfish, entitled criminals. Each has pleaded guilty to bankruptcy fraud and each has served time in jail as a result. Because Joe never became a U.S. citizen, a judge decided in October that he had to return to his native Italy after he completed his sentence. Considering their family and the love we assumed they had for each other, wouldn’t Teresa stay by her man’s side through this difficult time? Nope! “I’m not doing a long-distance relationship. I’m not doing it,” she told Cohen, apparently appalled at the mere notion. “You know, I want somebody with me every day. I know exactly what happens. You know, I’m sure he’ll be with other women. It happens. We do the long-distance thing, it’s not going to work. I’d be like, ‘Bye, bye.’” At least she is making her feelings clear, we guess. How does Laurita feel about them? “I don’t understand Teresa’s decision to not stand by her man and keep her family intact,” she told Us Weekly . “If Joe is truly the love of her life and the father of her kids, you’d think she would go wherever he goes to keep the family together as a unit! I feel like they’ve been separated long enough! “Her decision seems a little selfish to me.” A little? That analysis seems a little generous to us. Teresa, of course, rakes it in as a Real Housewives cast member. And we hear she’s angling for a spinoff to increase her paycheck even more. Isn’t life all about money, Jacqueline? “I don’t care if I was making $1 million in the state of New Jersey. If my husband – the love of my life and father of my kids – said we were moving to a new state or a new country, I’d be like, ‘Bye, bye,’ and I’d get my kids together, pack up our sh-t and go with him,” he tell Us, concluding as follow: “That’s just what families are supposed to do. Ride or die.” We agree. But perhaps Giudice has a young and attractive reason for leaving Joe as well… View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!
A former Miss Teen Universe has tragically passed away at the young age of 19. Model Lotte van der Zee, from Holland, was on a family ski trip when she suffered a fatal heart attack . Her parents, Bert van der Zee and Eugeniek van het Hul shared the devastating news through their daughter’s Instagram account. “Our pearl, our everything passed away on Wednesday evening March 6th at 22:47,” they captioned the post. “It is incredibly surreal that our dearly beloved Lotte is not around us anymore. Our hearts are truly broken.” The Dutch model passed away a day before her 20th birthday, according to E! News. During the family trip to Austria, her parents spoke with a Dutch newspaper where they reported that “Lotte started to feel unwell throughout the course of the afternoon.” They said their daughter had been out with friends the night before her heart attack but that she had returned “cheerfully and without health complaints.” But she did not show up for breakfast the next morning and when her parents went to check on her, they found her sick in bed. They wrote on Lotte’s Instagram account that her sickness “swiftly escalated in sudden cardiac arrest” later that day. She was resuscitated by her mother and rushed to a nearby hospital before being placed into a coma where she was kept asleep under intensive supervision by the doctors in order to monitor her health. The young model was then transferred to a special hospital in Munich, Germany where she began suffering organ failure, according to reports. Since their daughter’s unexpected passing, her parents have received an incredible amount of messages. “We would like to thank you all again for all the support and heartwarming messages.” The 19-year-old won the Miss Teenager Universe title back in 2017. The pageant’s social media account sent their sympathy, writing, “Losing someone we loved is not easy, but knowing that we have been able to be part of her life, it has been [an] amazing journey,” they wrote. “Our deepest condolences to your family and friends.” Her family told the newspaper that tests are still being carried out to determine what exactly caused her heart attack. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lotte’s family and friends at this time. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Tuesday morning, the publication that celebrates the world’s most business savvy people, announced Kylie Jenner, 21, was the youngest self-made billionaire, turning the internet on its head. This claim alone was incorrect, she’s not self-made, which dictionary.com , doing what it does best, defined the term for all of us. Haven't we gone over this? Self-made: Having succeeded in life unaided. https://t.co/g0ZHDSkVfu https://t.co/3O48zKsInN — Dictionary.com (@Dictionarycom) March 5, 2019 Forbes, on the other hand, developed their own ranking system which defines self-made on a scale from 0-10 with Oprah, who grew up poor and with serious substantial hardships scoring a 10 and Jenner, born with a silver spoon in her mouth and fame to leverage to her advantage scored a 7. A score of 1 means you inherited everything, which I guess earning royalties from a reality show since adolescence, and then launching a make-up company atop heaps of cash, is a far-cry from… but mkay, Forbes.

A post shared by Oprah (@oprah) on Jul 2, 2018 at 10:55am PDT Everybody’s favorite auntie, Oprah Winfrey is the GOAT rags to riches story. Oprah, who was fired from her first on-air job as a co-anchor at Baltimore’s WJZ-TV, grew up in poverty and without family connections or networks from which to flourish from. However, when she was told at the age of 22 she was “unfit for television news.” Now the media mogul, actress, and produce who secured her own talk show consisting of featuring A-listers, created her own network, as well as a a magazine and now her own pizza (now if that ain’t goals I don’t know what is), is and has been the richest African-American woman in the United States with an estimated worth of $2.5 billion.
