If you talk to 90 Day Fiance : Happily Ever After? fans, you know that they have all sorts of strong opinions about Nicole and Azan. Even though Nicole isn't his sugar mama anymore , some still cling to the conspiracy theory that he's just using her for money. Others aren't sure what to believe, except that they're adamant that they shouldn't get married. (Yes, some critics of their marriage are thinly veiled body-shamers; yes, some others are racist or Islamaphobic; but others have real concerns) Nicole dropped several hints recently that, when combined, revealed her plans for a summer wedding . Now, Nicole is putting at least part of a date on those plans. Take a look! 1. Nicole and Azan are still engaged Fans have howled and gnashed their teeth and Nicole’s family has done the same, but this engagement is moving forward … however slowly. 2. But when is the actual wedding date? Over the weekend, Nicole shed some light on the exciting details. 3. Nicole and Azan have been doing this dance for a long time Fans have been calling it “90 Year Fiance” because they still haven’t gotten married. Even Nicole knows that it’s been a while. In fact, she knows better than anyone — it’s her life. 4. How long HAVE they been a (long-distance) couple, anyway? Just a little earlier this year, Nicole informed her fans that she and Azan have been together for three-and-a-half years. Some marriages don’t even last that long. 5. Some think it’s been long enough Nicole’s family has expressed real concerns that Azan is just stringing Nicole along — maybe for money, maybe because he doesn’t want to admit that his family doesn’t approve. 6. Her stepdad is not mincing words Fun fact: this is not the correct pronunciation of the name “Azan.” It’s also not the right way to pronounce “Hassan,” his real name. View Slideshow
Tristan Thompson is a dedicated rebounder on the basketball court. The Cleveland Cavaliers power forward has made a living by hustling all over the place for loose balls and errant field goal attempts. According to newly-released court documents, however, Thompson is nearly the exact opposite as a father. His first baby mama, Jordan Craig, claims Tristan isn’t anything close to a dedicated parent. Back in November of 2018, Craig filed legal papers as part of her declaration against Thompson in her battle for child support. These documents have been obtained by Radar Online and Craig states in them that Thompson saw the couple’s son, Prince, one time in 2016. And four times in 2017. And four more times in 2018. That’s a total of just nine times in two years, and Craig adds that Tristan was only alone with his child during one of these visits. “I have given Tristan almost two years to step up and assume the fatherly role for our son. As set forth below in detail, he has failed to do so,” Craig wrote in her declaration to the court. She added at the time: “I cannot force Tristan to be a father. I have been and will continue to be the sole caretaker of our son. It is my pleasure to care for him daily and tend to his needs. “I only ask that the court order Tristan to pay child support in the amount he is legally required to under the guidelines.” Tristan categorized Craig’s calculations as “inaccurate.” In the end, however, he agreed to pay her $40,000 per month in child support – and also was ordered to pay Craig $200,000 for retroactive child support within 10 days of signing the May 14, 2019 settlement. Craig and Thompson dated back in 2016. But he then left her for Khloe Kardashian, someone with whom Thompson had been sleeping during his romance with Craig. She also made this accusation in other court documents. Craig has even alleged the very public tryst gave her “s erious pregnancy complications ,” and she was forced by a doctor to go on bed rest. For her part, Khloe has often trashed Thompson as a boyfriend because, come on… the guy cheated on her left and right! But she’s always made a point of defending Tristan as a father to their daughter, True. Could this be because Thompson has learned his lesson and is truly interested in being a part of their kid’s life? Or could Khloe just be covering for her ex because she doesn’t want True to grow up and read horrible headlines about one of her parents?

We already reported that the cast of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is feuding so hard that Bravo was scrambling to get it all. Unfortunately, that feud has worsened in a less entertaining way — and on set drama has never been worse. NeNe is refusing to film with Porsha or Kenya, and the other Housewives are fuming over it. Filming on Season 12 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is underway, but drama is already going down on set. Unfortunately, it’s the bad kind of drama — the kind that you can’t capture on camera. RadarOnline reports that NeNe Leakes is at the center of what’s proving to be a nightmare for Bravo. “NeNe is refusing to film with Porsha and Kenya,” an insider divulges. The source explains her motive: “She is not going to let them stir the pot.” NeNe is central to the show, and she knows it, and she knows that her castmates — even her enemies — know it. “NeNe knows that they all just want to use her for fights,” the insider explains. “And,” the source continues. “She wants no part of it.” In other words, NeNe isn’t just avoiding Porsha and Kenya. She is actively trying to punish them, by sabotaging their careers and causing them deep personal and professional frustration. Now, why is she so mad again? “Porsha made claims that NeNe grabbed her when she was pregnant,” the insider reminds the world. The source notes that this alleged grabbing went down “during the infamous closet fight.” “But the unedited footage shown during the reunion vindicated NeNe,” the insider says, adding: “She believes.” Suffice it to say that NeNe holds a hefty grudge. “NeNe wants nothing to do with Porsha,” the source characterizes. Their friendship has thoroughly soured and they have not mended fences behind the scenes. The same goes for Kenya, of course. According to the insider: “NeNe knows that Kenya is only coming back for drama.” That’s why any Housewife comes back. The network gets drama, the Housewife gets fame and money. That’s the deal. “And,” the source says. “She is not going to entertain it.” This entire ordeal isn’t making NeNe any new friends. Quite the opposite, in fact. “The issue is,” the insider explains. “All of the other ladies feel like they had to film scenes that made them uncomfortable.” “And,” the source adds. “They’re mad that NeNe doesn’t have to film them.” This is where NeNe’s massive salary of $2.85 million for the season, more than that of any other Housewife in the franchise’s history, comes into play. “They think it is unfair that the highest paid person on the show wants do the least amount of work,” the insider explains. That’s a fair gripe, though they’ll find that reality television isn’t the only business sector where income is unfair. NeNe Leakes is gambling that her entertainment value is more important to Bravo than that of the women she now despises. In other words, she’s icing them out for more than just a desire to avoid them. She wants them off of the show, and she doesn’t want to clash with them in person — even if it will help their careers. It sounds like NeNe could be shooting herself in the foot. There’s no sense in cutting off your nose to spite your face, right?

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.

Depending on your point of view, Kourtney Kardashian has either figured out how to co-exist and co-parent with ex-boyfriend Scott Disick… … or she’s totalluy deranged. And maybe even still in love with the polariazing Lord . The main focus of Sunday’s Keeping Up with the Kardashians centered on the recent trip Kourtney took to Mexico not just with Scott and not just with her three kids — but with Sofia Richie as well. (By recent , of course, we mean in December. This season appears to truly have been filmed AGES ago.) Kris Jenner was confused and concerned over this vacation, especially after Disick shared a photo (below) of himself, Kourtney and Sofia all just lounging around a pool in Cabo. What the heck is going on , she asked Kourtney upon the latter’s return. “We honestly had the best time,” Kourtney said with a smile when confronted on air by her mother, clearly enjoying the response. But this only made Jenner more anxious to get some answers. “The fact that you have Scott’s girlfriend on vacation with you, or you’re on vacation with them or he’s on vacation with the two of you…I don’t know what’s going on!” Jenner cried, asking the mother of three for more information. Please . “He was gonna take them anyways,” Kourtney said simply about Disick and the three kids they share. “So I’m like, do I want to go and experience it with them? Or do I want to stay home? I get FOMO so I’m like, I don’t want to miss out on this with my kids.” Sounds perfectly sane and logical, right? But where does everyone sleep, Kris wondered. Kourtney explained that she had a three-bedroom villa for her and Mason, Reign and Penelope; while Scott and Sofia had their own accommodations. Kris labeled the entire thing as “wild,” but Kardashian basically shrugged it all off. “I know that we don’t have to travel together and I don’t think that we will take every trip together, but it was totally not awkward,” Kourtney told the camera, adding: “I feel like we are doing our best to make everything feel super normal for the kids…So, I think as long as we’re all OK with it, I think it’s really amazing to be able to all travel together.” Kardashian and Disick really do seem to be soulmates of a certain kind , huh? Elsewhere on this episode, Kim took over planning and hosting duties for the family’s annual Christmas party. Much to her mother’s chagrin and, eventually, much to her own. “It’s turned into such a sh-t show,” she vented to Khloe and her grandmother. The KKW beauty founder insisted the event had taken a turn for the much worse because the invite list had deteriorated over the years, ballooning to include “people we don’t know.” She then got really upset when Caitlyn Jenner asked to be invited. How should she respond, Kim asked, considering the tension that has existed between Caitlyn and her family ever since the release of Caitlyn’s memoir , which sort of trashed the Kardashians? Shortly after Kim invited Caitlyn to the gathering, controversy erupted when Khloe insisted the invite was a mistake. When Kim insisted she was trying to “make peace” with the former Olympian, Khloe shot back: “Do we care about Caitlyn’s peace when she’s never cared about ours?” Okay, fine, Kim confessed: “I made a big fcking mistake.” Khloe then pressured Kim to actually disinvite Caitlyn. Eventually, though, Kris insisted that the invite stand, saying: “I promise you. I’m fine. Just let it go. Vodka’s my friend.” The party was later held and it went very well. Those in attendance included Sia, Jennifer Lopez, Kathy Griffin, John Legend, Paris Hilton… and even Jordyn Woods . She stopped by alongside Kylie Jenner, mere weeks before her infamous makeout session with Tristan Thompson. Keeping Up With The Kardashians airs on E! Sundays at 9/8c. You can watch it — or you can just bookmark The Hollywood Gossip and get caught up on all things related to this family as they actually happen… each and everyday.

Now that Jonathan Rivera has reportedly signed divorce papers, ex-wife Fernanda Flores says that he’s dead to her . Rumors about their marriage and breakup — including some wild, hurtful accusations — have circulated about this couple. Jonathan says that he is tired of hearing lies about himself, and wants to set the record straight. Jonathan Rivera has heard what fans and followers have been whispering about him, and enough is enough. “To set the record straight,” Jonathan’s comment begins. “I never cheated on her.” “I met my girlfirend months after our separation,” he shares. It was only in May that Jonathan revealed his girlfriend on social media as the two shared a sexy, romantic cruise. “I never ‘abused’ her,” Jonathan adds. “I never neglected her.” “I gave her everything I had,” Jonathan writes. “And,” he continues, he “treated her with nothing but respect.” “I was patient,” Jonathan insists. “But knew it had to end when she showed me who she really was.” Well, that is certainly ominous-sounding. It is also intensely and frustratingly vague coming from someone who signed up to be a public figure and has no known NDAs in effect. Jonathan makes it clear that he has heard enough rumors about how his marriage came to an end. “I will no longer be responding to these outrageous allegations,” Jonathan affirms. Once again, for those in the back, he repeats: “I have officially signed the divorce papers.” He means that Fernanda is now out of his life, forever. “I am happy,” Jonathan concludes. “And moving on with my life.” Jonathan and Fernanda broke up in December of last year. So much remains (frustratingly!) unclear about their split, but they had a bitter argument. According to Jonathan, Fernanda said things to him that he didn’t feel that he could ever unhear or that she could truly take back. He also cited Fernanda’s desire to live in a city, rather than in Lumberton, as a factor behind their marital friction. It has been said on social media that it was “common knowledge” that he cheated on her, but Fernanda has never actually made that accusation. Fernanda has said a lot of other things, however. Just this week, and notably only after Jonathan had signed his divorce papers, she accused him of not being as wealthy as people assume. She said that he owes more to the government than he makes. Fernanda emphasized that she was not trying to defame or degrade her ex-husband, and that she took no pleasure in dragging his name through the mud. Instead, she said that she was simply tired of being viewed as a gold digger and wanted to clear the air. But she also said that he was dead to her. There’s no love lost between these two. Not anymore. Jonathan responded to Fernanda’s posts by suggesting that he’d see her on his next vacation in Mexico. He met her while on vacation in Mexico City, and it seems obvious that he was trying to imply that she would be deported. However, as we have already reported, Fernanda posted a celebratory update about her legal residency back in April. She even recommended an immigration attorney to others. So … it’s not clear if she’ll actually leave the US any time soon. For now, we’re just a little disappointed in them both. Not for breaking up, but for not handling it as well as they might have.

For the 3,679th time, it must be said: People on the Internet can really suck. The latest evident of this unfortunate fact can be traced back to a photo Audrey Roloff shared on Instagram this week. The former Little People, Big World star – who walked away from that TLC series along with her husband last summer – loves nothing more than to post cute photos of her daughter, Ember. On Monday, this is exactly what Audrey thought she was doing when she put up the snapshot below. As you’re about to see, it features little Ember behind the wheel of a tractor on Roloff Farms, the sun setting in the background, a smile plastered on the toddler’s face. “The Farmer’s daughter. Oh hey June in Helvetia. You can find us here all summer long,” wrote Roloff as a caption, adding: “Riding mules, chasing chickens, picking wildflowers, covered in berry stains and freckles, and watching sunsets by the embers. On repeat.” Despite this being pretty much what social media ought to be made for (adorable pictures of young kids having fun), Audrey has been somewhat roasted by a bunch of judgmental followers. Can you guess why? Probably not, right? It’s actually because Ember is… sitting behind the wheel of a tractor. “Get her away from there right this instant, r u nuts?!?” wrote one annoyed user. Added another: “You’re just asking for a dangerous accident there. #thinktwicemama.” And then a third: “Shame on U, Audrey. What if she fell and got run over?” Crazy, right? That total strangers would take a mother to task for this? But it’s actually happened before… to the Roloffs, no less! In July 2018, Tori had to clap back against parent-shamers who had a similar reaction to a photo of her son also riding a large vehicle. And, look, we don’t want to jump on too high of a horse here, but: WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!? These kids are obviously safe and none of this is any of your business. Can you please stop giving her crap for photos such as the one above and also the one here ? It’s possible that you aren’t the biggest fan of Audrey Roloff. You may think she’s too self-righteous and you may think, as The Hollywood Gossip has often said, that Audrey exploits her religion at times to make money . But even the absolute harshest critic has to be honest about something. He or she absolutely has to admit the following: Audrey loves her daughter and would never do anything to hurt her. Shame on you for ever thinking or implying otherwise. View Slideshow: Audrey and Jeremy Roloff: 19 Moments We’ll Never, Ever Forget
Madonna has never hesitated to call out her critics and body shamers , but this time, it’s a little different. In a new profile for the New York Times , she drew attention after describing her negative experiences with Harvey Weinstein. But now, on social media, Madonna is blasting the article and its author, calling both a tool of the patriarchy . Before we get into Madonna’s furious response to the article, the article itself is worth mentioning. The New York Times did a profile on Madonna, titled: “Madonna at Sixty.” The subtitle explained that it was a detailed look at Madonna’s view of “aging, inspiration, and why she refuses to cede control.” Within the profile, Madonna discusses how Harvey Weinstein “crossed lines and boundaries” with her. This allegedly went down during the making of her 1991 documentary, “Truth or Dare.” Madonna mentions that Weinstein had been “incredibly sexually flirtatious and forward with me when we were working together.” “I was aware that he did the same with a lot of other women that I knew in the business,” Madonna admits. Madonna is quoted as having operated under a mindset that Harvey Weinstein’s power made his behavior necessary to tolerate. “‘He’s so successful and his movies do so well and everybody wants to work with him,'” Madonna recalls feeling. “‘So you have to put up with it.'” We’ve heard that horrifying mentality from so many people. Terrible that it went on for decades. But her quotes regarding Weinstein may be the one thing that didn’t make Madonna furious about the article. Taking to her Instagram, the music legend put the New York Times on blast. She specifically excoriated the article’s author, a woman named Vanessa Grigoriadis. “To say that I was disappointed in the article would be an understatement,” Madonna writes. She goes on to accuse the article and newspaper of ageism, sexism, and of betraying her trust. “It seems,” Madonna reflects. “You can’t fix society.” She has certainly tried to do so over her career, but it seems that she is despairing that society has so much further to go. “And,” she continues, laying into society and “its endless need to diminish, disparage or degrade that which they know is good.” Madonna observes: “Especially strong independent women.” Women like herself, she means. “The journalist who wrote this article spent days and hours and months with me,” Madonna writes. “And,” she notes, the writer “was invited into a world which many people dont get to see,” “But,” Madonna laments, the journalist “chose to focus on trivial and superficial matters such as the ethnicity of my stand in or the fabric of my curtains.” “And,” she points out. “Never ending comments about my age.” Madonna asserts, probably correctly, that this is something “which would never have been mentioned had I been a MAN!” “Women have a really hard time being the champions of other women,” Madonna expresses in despair. She says that this is true “even if. they are posing as intellectual feminists.” Everyone has blindspots, even within the feminist community. Madonna clearly has major regrets about this profile. “I’m sorry i spent 5 minutes with her,” Madonna writes. “It makes me feel raped,” Madonna writes. “And yes I’m allowed to use that analogy having been raped at the age of 19.” While we are deeply sorry for her horrific experience, most people feel that even rape survivors should be careful with their analogies. “Further proof that the venerable N.Y.T. Is one of the founding fathers of the Patriarchy,” she accuses. Patriarchal cultural forces are pernicious … and much, much older than the New York Times . Or the English language. Or writing itself. “And I say — DEATH TO THE PATRIARCHY woven deep into the fabric of Society,” Madonna expresses. She concludes: “I will never stop fighting to eradicate it.” View Slideshow: Donald Trump Impeachment Party: Who’s Attending?

Even before Hannah Brown’s season began, you didn’t need The Bachelorette spoilers to tell you that Luke Parker is a psychopath. You can’t keep that kind of insanity a secret. People were warning her about Luke even before he got out of the limo, petrified that it would be to whom Hannah Brown is engaged . (Actually, he climbed on top of the limo and snarled like a wild beast, which should have been all the red flag she needed.) The usually-chill Nick Viall called Luke out as a dangerous narcissist early on, and viewers quickly realized that was no exaggeration. Few reality shows have attracted as many douche bros as The Bachelorette , and Luke might be the douchiest of them all — which is really saying something. If you’ve been reading Bachelorette spoilers, you know that sadly, Luke’s con job is working like a charm, and Hannah won’t be 86-ing him anytime soon. (This is the point in the article where we inform you that further spoilers are coming.) (And if you wish to be surprised by the Bachelorette finale like it’s Game of Thrones or some s–t, you should read no further.) Luke makes it all the way to Hannah’s final four , which is especially shocking given his behavior on Monday night’s show. As you may recall (who could forget?) Luke P. bodyslammed Luke S. following a particularly intense rugby game. (Luke P. tried to make it sound like the slam happened mid-game, but that was not the case.) The moment was caught on camera, but Hannah didn’t witness it herself. Then, for some reason, she’s decided not to believe the other 14 guys in the house who have repeatedly told her that Luke P. is the absolute worst. Yeah. It make zero sense. As you may have figured out, this situation doesn’t have a happy ending. According to the guru of spoilers Reality Steve, Luke P. moves on following next week’s rose ceremony (the episode will air on Tuesday due to a scheduling conflict with the NBA Finals). Luke S.? He does not. But before you get prematurely furious at Hannah for sending the wrong Luke home, you should know that it wasn’t her decision. Reality Steve is reporting that Luke S. TOOK HIMSELF OUT OF THE RUNNING and went home prior to the rose ceremony. Frankly, given the extent to which Hannah has allowed herself to be manipulated by Luke Parker, we don’t blame him. In fact, we wish all the remaining contestants would take themselves out of the running. Not that we wish her any ill will. But if that’s what it took in order to help Hannah realize she’s allowing a full-blown lunatic to stay on the show? Then yes. As we said earlier, Bachelorette villains are nothing new, but the Luke situation is unprecedented. Host Chris Harrison even felt the need to indirectly address the insanity in a recent interview: “There’s gonna be villains, and it’s not your typical villain,” he said. “It’s not the typical bad guy that’s like a flash in the pan and goes away … although there are those too.” “What really creates the drama, what really drives this entire season and may dictate how this ends for Hannah and kind of reflects and affects the rest of her life is the drama lasts, and it’s about people she cares about,” Harrison added. “It’s not just oh here’s the bad guy, he’s gone. “This thing festers and has to deal with the entire kind of undertone to the season. So that’s what’s really going to shape the season, and what I think people are going to take away.” Wow. Usually, Harrison alerts us when there’s one rose remaining and otherwise keeps his commentary to himself. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out the Lucky Guy Who Wins Hannah’s Heart! [UPDATED] On social media, Hannah is taking a lot of flak for not seeing through Luke P.’s BS, but to be fair, hindsight is 20-20 and the guy is a master manipulator. Fortunately, these days, Hannah is engaged to someone else – and you can jump into the gallery above to find out which lucky guy earned her final rose.
