George Clooney: When Is The Last Time He Has Seen His Kids Amid Marriage Drama?!

George Clooney has not been spotted publicly with his twins in almost 200 days, according to Radar .  While divorce rumors are all the buzz for the actor-lawyer duo , we notice that only Amal Clooney has been recently photographed with adorable Alexander and Ella.  An insider spills that “George and Amal have been arguing over their varying lifestyles.” You know, the one where the mom does all the work and the dad gets to travel for ‘work’ with his buddies.  While it’s hard to really know what’s going on in the very private Clooney household, there are some alarming signs that the two have had enough.  The couple – who wed on September 14, has not been photographed together since August 11.  Forgetting their fourth wedding anniversary and depriving us of their beautiful faces.  Amal even skipped out on George’s annual Halloween party for his Casamigos tequila in Las Vegas last year.  But, Amal has way more important things on her to-do list! Like attending the United Nations General Assembly or something like that.  “She’s all business, he’s all play,” says the insider. “They’re like oil and water. They don’t mix.”  While Amal would be home in New York working AND taking care of the kids, George would be partying it up in L.A with his friends. Let’s take a moment here to notice the transformation women have made since the ’50s stay-at-home’ mom type.   Not only is Amal a great mother, but she’s also a badass lawyer fighting for human rights – and does it all in style.  As much as I want George and Amal to mend their relationship (for the kids’ sake — and come on, who doesn’t like these two together?), we all know Amal will be just fine on her own if the situation calls for it.  And it sounds like that is a real possibility.  According to close insiders, the spouses have been living separate lives for a while now. Amal even “fled from the couple’s marital home in England and set herself up in a new hideaway on the idyllic Italian island of Sardinia with the 20-month-old twins,” Radar reports.  Not a bad runaway, I must admit.  While Amal is focusing on her children and staying out of the spotlight, George has been hanging out a lot with business partner Rande Gerber.  “George likes to be the life of the party. It helps take his mind off his troubles,” says the source. While the star may be a “no-show” dad lately, we don’t doubt his love for his two children.  When he became a first-time father he was 56-years-old. And he couldn’t stop expressing his love for Alexander and Ella.   “They’re born with personalities,” George shared. “Ella is very elegant and dainty and she has these big beautiful eyes; she looks like Amal.” And as for Alexander – “He’s just a thug, he’s a fat little boy, he laughs louder than everyone in the room; it’s the funniest thing.” And if there is a divorce, it’s no surprise that George intends to always be a part of his children’s lives.  “He knows the best lawyers in L.A. and he could arm himself with quite the legal team to keep his $520 million fortune and the twins,” says an insider from Radar .  Let’s just hope it doesn’t get that messy.  He knows who he would be going up against, right? Please, let’s all cross our fingers for the Clooney’s and hope they continue to grace our feed for years to come!   View Slideshow: Amal Clooney Speaks Against ISIS, Magazine Can’t Get Over Her Baby Bump

Chelsea Clinton: Pregnant With Baby #3!

Good news!  Chelsea Clinton and her husband, Marc Mezvinsky, are expecting another child. The couple welcomed their second child in 2016, just before the world went to hell in a handbasket. And now they’re expecting their third child! Congratulations! On January 22, Chelsea Clinton took to Twitter to make the announcement. “Marc and I have loved watching Charlotte be such a wonderful big sister,” Chelsea’s tweet begins. “And,” she continues. “We’re excited to watch Aidan become a big brother!” Chelsea concludes: “We cannot wait to meet our newest addition later this summer.” That’s pretty vague — but we can look at the newest Clinton baby some time between the middle of June and the middle of September. Chelsea is famous, but not nearly so famous as her parents, Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. When Chelsea was asked on Twitter if her parents are pumped for a new grandbaby, she responded. “They are :)” Chelsea writes. That is so sweet! Grandparents are always happy to see grandbabies born into the happy homes of their children. Chelsea is 38 and her husband, Marc, is 41. The couple married in 2010, and already has two children, as mentioned in Chelsea’s tweet. Their 4-year-old daughter is named Charlotte. Their 2-year-old son is Aidan. We are so excited for all of them to meet their latest addition! In 2017, Chelsea opened up about her experiences as a parent. “[Charlotte] loves singing her ABCs, Pharrell’s ‘Happy,’ ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’ and more,” Chelsea shared. She continued: “We love that she loves to sing and we love to sing with her.” “She has told us we don’t have great voices so I think that is definitely karma!” Chelsea admitted. “[Aidan] will probably tell us the same once he’s talking,” she predicted. “Still, we will keep singing along with reading and talking to both our kids,” Chelsea concluded. Those activities are critical for a child’s intellectual development and for bonding. “Like so many moms,” Chelsea confessed. “I don’t think I will ever feel there are enough hours in the day to do all the things with my kids I wish I could do” She admitted that this is true “even on the days when I’m home.” “But,” she notes. “I know I am lucky to have control over my schedule.” She’s busy, but not in the same way that a single mother who’s holding down two jobs just to keep her child fed, closed, and housed is busy. “So,” Chelsea explained. “I can be home most weekends and in the mornings or evenings and hopefully both.” As we mentioned, we’re so happy for the Clinton family. Congratulations are in order. We only wish, as they must wish, that they could be preparing to welcome their newest child into a better, more promising world. Unfortunately, every day we wake up and check our phones for the latest horrifying news. Few are as aware of this as the Clinton family. And no one tried to do more to prevent our current nightmare. Let’s all try to look for pieces of good news and even slivers of hope to make it through each day without screaming. Baby news is good news.

Chris Brown Released From Jail Following Rape Arrest

This morning, we reported on the shocking news that Chris Brown had been arrested in Paris i n connection with rape allegations. Now, it seems that authorities have released Brown on his own recognizance and informed him that he is free to return to the United States. The news comes as a shock to many, as the allegations against Brown are quite serious, and it was rumored that the case against him was a strong one. In addition to the rape allegations that led to the arrest of the singer and two associates, it was reported that Brown was facing drug charges, as authorities discovered a large amount of cocaine when he was taken into custody. Moments ago, however, TMZ broke the news that Brown will soon be headed home to the US. The controversial entertainer took to Instagram to address the situation just moments after being released from custody. “I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE,” reads the latest post on his page. “FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISPRESPECTFUL AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!!” He added: “THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP!” Brown also posted a graphic that reads simply: “THIS B!TCH LYIN'” The allegations are, of course, only the latest legal entanglement for Brown, who has been in trouble with the law for most of his 15 years in the spotlight. In 2009, Brown assaulted then-girlfriend Rihanna , an incident that initially seemed as though it would land Brown behind bars and bring his music career to crashing halt. Neither proved to be the case, of course, and while Brown remained a wildly popular artist, he’s also proven consistently unable to refrain from engaging in appalling acts of violence. In 2014, Brown was imprisoned after he assaulted a photographer and was then kicked out of a court-ordered rehab facility for smashing a window on his mother’s car. There’s no word on yet on what will happen with Brown’s case from here, but if he was released without posting bond and permitted to return to the States, it seems unlikely that he’ll face any charges. We’ll have further updates on this developing situation as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 29 Pics of Chris Brown Thuggin’ It So Hard: What a Goon!

Wendy Williams Hospitalized, Delays Talk Show Return Indefinitely

She might not be aware of it, but we’ve been beefing with Wendy Williams here at The Hollywood Gossip for many years now. We simply haven’t been able to stand the way she desperately seeks attention by making cruel, outlandish statements about her fellow celebrities. You know, like how she slammed the #MeToo movement and how she called Kylie Jenner’s baby ugly . But anyway. Our point here is not to rehash these issues, but to actually call a truce and to wish Williams well. Why? Because the talk show host has been hospitalized due to complications from Graves Disease. “As Wendy Williams Hunter previously shared, she fractured her shoulder and has been on the mend. Over the past few days, Wendy has experienced complications regarding her Graves’ Disease that will require treatment,” reads a statement from her family, which continues as follow: “Wendy will be under the strict supervision of her physicians, and as part of her care, there will be significant time spent in the hospital “Despite her strong desire to return, she is taking a necessary, extended break from her show to focus on her personal and physical well-being.” Williams broke her shoulder in December and then started to worry fans when she slurred her words on-air. She later apologized and blamed the painkillers she was taking at the time. Since then, Williams has delayed her show’s return on two occasions. It was originally supposed to return shortly after the New Year — but was pushed back to January 14. It was then delayed another week and will now be on indefinite hiatus. Concludes this most recent statement: “Wendy thanks everyone in advance for their well-wishes and for respecting her and The Hunter Family’s privacy during this time.” In early 2018, Williams also took an extended break after her diagnosis of Graves Disease This is an immune system disorder that results in the overproduction of thyroid hormones (hyperthyroidism). Symptoms often include anxiety, hand tremor, heat sensitivity, weight loss, puffy eyes and enlarged thyroid. It’s a pretty serious illness and Williams addressed her reation to the diagnosis last March. “There’s was just a mess going on inside my body,” she said on Good Morning America . Continued the polarizing TV personality at the time: “We, as women, particularly if we have families, you know, we’re taking care of children, we’re taking care of our home, our husbands, we take care of everybody but ourselves. “I’m not doing that anymore… Wendy first!” Says the production company behind the Wendy Williams Show: For over ten years, Wendy has been a vital part of the Debmar-Mercury family. We wholeheartedly support Wendy in this decision to take the time she needs and we will welcome her back with open arms the moment she is ready. Of course, because this is the Internet, gossip and innuendo abound. With rumors swirling about her husband’s affair , some are wondering whether Williams is simply shunning the spotlight for awhile and using her health as an excuse. We’re not saying that. But some out there most definitely have been. View Slideshow: 19 Times Wendy Williams Has Totally Sucked as a Person

Sammi Giancola: Getting Engaged To Christian Biscardi?

We may hear wedding bells sooner than we think from Jersey Shore’s  Sammi Giancola and her boyfriend Christian Biscardi !  The two have been dating for a year and a half, and a close friend of the star shares that Sammi is going to be getting engaged in the very near future!    For all of you Sammi and Ronnie fans (if there are any), it’s now time to grab the tissues.  Ronnie Magro, who recently split with his ex , Jen Harley, following an alleged bloody fight in early January, is not taking the idea of an ‘engagement’ too well.  Do we expect him? I mean Sammi and Ronnie were together (on-off) for EIGHT years and the poor guy just went through hell with his ex.  The insider says, “Ronnie knows it’s coming” and he isn’t ready.  “He still feels like Sammi was the love of his life and the one that got away. It’s very hard for Ronnie to see Sammi so happy with Christian and some friends think that is why he stayed with Jen for so long.”  Ronnie’s close friends worry that when it does come he will have a very hard time dealing with the news and “that there’s a huge part of Ron that still loves Sammi and it hurts to know his chances with her are over,” the source added.  While Sammi and Biscardi plan for the next steps in their relationship, a source confirmed that the couple already moved in together over the summer.  They are both “fully committed and ready” to spend the rest of their lives together. “She’s really excited to begin the next chapter of her life with Christian,” says Hollywood Life source.  So much so that she even turned down the MTV spin off, Jersey Shore Family Vacation , back in April!  Jersey Shore Family Vacation: New Trailer Released! She later explained her absence was to “avoid potentially toxic situations.”  Anyone who has seen the show can probably agree that she was referring to her ex, Ronnie. (and multiple nights of bar fights)  Her statement continued: “I am at a completely different place in my life right now focusing on my business and my relationship. I am not the same as I was when I was 22. At 31, I am extremely happy in every aspect of my life and want to avoid potentially awkward situations.”   And avoiding the situation is exactly what she did… She even skipped out on  Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s wedding on Nov. 1. However, we learn from Sorrentino that she did send a “very heartfelt, sweet gift.” So, it’s not like she skipped the event altogether and just didn’t care. Instead, Sorrentino says it was likely because “the cameras were there, she opted not to come.”  It sounds like Sammi is enjoying and focusing on her new life out of the spotlight and come on, she has way better things to do anyway!  Like plan a wedding, perhaps?

Kailyn Lowry Talks to Kids About Marrying Chris Lopez: WHAT?!

Kailyn Lowry is in some sort of relationship with Chris Lopez. Maybe. Possibly. At this point in time, since Chris refuses to be on Teen Mom 2 and he's not out there doing tell-all interviews or anything, and since Kailyn is reluctant to share too much information, we really don't know what's going on with them. We do know that they were seen holding hands at an awards show , and she's joked that they're getting married soon . He's also defended her against haters on social media , so he's basically her 21st century knight in shining armor. Earlier this week on her podcast, she explained that he's staying away from the spotlight and refusing to be on the show because he doesn't want to “take advantage” of her like others have done. “I don't think any real man wants to hear, 'You have what you have because of Teen Mom,' especially because he wasn't a teen parent,” she said. But still, she did admit that Chris is “a huge part” of her life. And so it just makes sense that in this new sneak peek for the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2, she's talking to her sons, Isaac and Lincoln, about the possibility of marrying him. In the clip, Kailyn is driving around with her three children, and she says that they've been getting ready for Lux's first birthday , so this is probably back in late July or early August. She asks them if they're excited about their baby brother's birthday, and they are, because they are precious angels. Except Lincoln then announces that “When I was a baby, I was fat like your belly's fat.” She laughs and tells him “I don't know what the hell I'm gonna do with you, but I'm gonna do something!” They talk about what Lux might wish for for his birthday, and Lincoln thinks he might want a baby sister, because as Isaac points out, there are a whole lot of boys in their family. (At this point, they knew that Javi was expecting another son with girlfriend Lauren Comeau .) From there, Lincoln goes to telling her that he doesn't have a stepdad like Isaac did with Javi, and Kailyn replies with “Not yet, Chris will …” CHRIS WILL WHAT?! We don't know how she was planning on finishing that sentence because Isaac cuts her off to inform her that she can't get married again because she already married Javi. She explains to him that since they got divorced, she could get married again if she wanted. “Maybe I'll meet somebody,” she says, “or maybe me and the baby's dad will get married one day.” And there it is. Like we said, we don't know exactly what's going on with their relationship, so it's really hard to say if a wedding is in the cards. But things have been looking better than ever for them, so … maybe this really could be happening soon! Watch the full clip below to see Kailyn having this tough talk with her children:

Anna Duggar Stuns the Internet, Actually Claps Back at Troll

Anna Duggar said nothing in public at all against husband Josh Duggar after he admitted to both the molestation of his sisters and the affairs he carried on with random women he met online. But the former reality star has now made a statement in defense of a different relative. The typically shy and private mother of five clapped back at a hater on Instagram this week, causing nearly every user of this platform to do a double take in surprise. What was it that prompted Anna to finally speak out? The ex-19 Kids and Counting cast member simply had to respond to a commenter who, oddly enough, had something to say about her nephew’s toe. “What happened to his poor toe?” someone asked in response to a photo of Jessa Duggar’s son last week. “I never saw anything about that.” Replied Anna: “His toe is just fine! Spurgeon must have bent it while taking the picture.” Hey, we didn’t say it was an epic clapback by Anna. But you gotta start somewhere! Spurgeon, of course, is the son of Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald. He has a brother named Henry and he’ll soon have another sibling, as well. “We are overjoyed that God has blessed us with a baby, due late this Spring!” Duggar said this week , adding to various outlets: “From the day we found out we were expecting, we both guessed boy, and if our predictions are right then we already have a ton the clothing and accessories ready to pass down!” Jessa also made it clear in this statement that she’d be happy to have a girl as well. Jessa has also been known herself to step up any time an Internet trolls says something about her or a loved one. Just a few days before she told the world she was expecting, Jessa put some loser in his place after this loser trolled Jessa’s young nephew, Meredith, online. Back to Anna, however: She has scarcely been in the spotlight at all ever since the many scandals surrounding her awful husband went viral. Not that we can blame her one bit for wanting to lay low for pretty much the rest of her life. However, Anna and Josh did pose together in public last fall and have started to make their social media presence a little more widly known over the last several weeks. Anna almost always just shared pictures of her kids on her page, while Josh Duggar has thankfully remained silent across the board via that medium. There had been talk at some point about him making a reality show comeback, but we haven’t heard any of that chatter in a very long time. It does appear as though even that industry has certain lines one cannot cross if it wishes to remain relevant — and inappropriately touching one’s own siblings most definitely qualifies.

Snooki: Is She Divorcing Her Husband, Too?!

It is not a good time to be in a romantic relationship with a Jersey Shore cast member. Honestly, there’s probably never been a time when it was a great idea, but as tough as it may be, if Pauly D hollers at you right now, shut him down. Sure, Deena just had her baby , so things are probably cool there, and Sammi seems pretty content with her boyfriend. The Situation seems very happy with his new wife, too, but he’s also headed off to prison soon , so that’s not ideal. As for Ron … do we even need to go into details about how horrifying his relationship is ? Even JWoww is in the middle of getting a divorce from Roger Mathews, the guy she got with in the original run of the show. And now, on top of all that heartache, there have been rumors that Snooki is ending things with her own husband, Jionni LaValle. “But wait,” you may be thinking, “aren’t they having another kid together?” It’s true — back in November, she announced that she is pregnant with their third child, a boy. But just ask Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra — breakups can happen at any time, even during a pregnancy. The rumors began swirling because of the lack of Jionni on Snooki’s Instagram. He rarely shows up in her posts, and to many people, that’s a little suspicious. Add in all those other rumors about their crumbling marriage, including that time he allegedly was found with a secret Ashley Madison account ? That’s how you get divorce talk started, folks. But don’t worry — Snooki did a new interview with Us Weekly and broke everything down. So what’s happening?! “I feel like if I don’t post pictures of Jionni or he doesn’t post pictures with me, it’s like we have marital issues and it’s not even the case,” she complained . The real issue, she said, is that “Jionni just wants nothing to do with the spotlight.” “I’m like, ‘Babe, when you marry me, sometimes we got to take pictures together,'” she continued. “He’s like, ‘Nah, I’m good.'” “I feel like when people don’t see us together in pictures, it’s like ‘OK, something must be wrong.'” But while she admitted that they’re “not perfect,” she said “We’re not in a bad place. I love him so much.” That’s sweet, right? The interview gets even sweeter when Snooki starts talking about how much Jionni’s been helping her out during her pregnancy, which she’s said has been much more difficult than her first two. “He’s helping me with the kids a lot, so me feeling this way and feeling disgusting and not in good moods, he usually takes the kids off my hands,” she explained. “He lets me rest all day on Sunday,” and not only that, but “He’s just really forgiving with my attitude, which is great, because usually if he’s not, we have a full-blown fight.” It sounds like even though these two have certainly gone through some rocky times, they’ve settled down and things are going really smoothly for them now.
