Tristan Thompson and Jordyn Woods Tried to Hide Affair by Doing THIS

Now that Khloe Kardashian finally dumped Tristan Thompson , everyone’s wondering exactly how it all went down. Reports say that Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson were banging for a while before they got caught. And apparently they had a plan to keep their trysts a secret. Clearly, it didn’t work. People reports that, during their illicit hookups, Jordyn and Tristan had a plan if they got accused of boning each other. That contingency was to … simply deny it. “It seemed she had an agreement with Tristan that they would deny hooking up if they got caught,” the insider reveals. That’s a good start to a plan. That’s not usually enough to keep something an actual secret. But the source says that Jordyn was convinced that “no one would find out.” Whoops. Ultimately, their clever plan to not tell people that they were banging wasn’t enough. “Jordyn was shocked when the family did find out and confronted her,” the insider shares. “Jordyn acted very distraught,” the source notes. Of course. She was practically family. She was BFFs with Kylie for years and had been living in her home. “But the family feels that she is mostly upset that she got caught,” the insider notes. Jordyn may have been distraught, but the actual cheater in the mix apparently felt differently. “Tristan didn’t seem like he cared too much,” the source characterizes. Maybe he’s just good at hiding his emotional pain. Or maybe, as was also reported after his cheating scandal in April 2018, he just feels entitled to cheat and doesn’t see how it’s a big deal. “He seemed to mind the drama,” the insider admits. “But didn’t act like he regretted hooking up with Jordyn.” “He actually denied, too,” the source shares. “And has had no explanation since as to why it happened.” Despite his history, the Kardashians as a whole were apparently hesitant to believe that he had cheated with Jordyn, of all people. “When they first started hearing on Monday that Tristan made out with Jordyn, no one really believed it,” the insider shares. “That Tristan would be inappropriate, yes everyone knows that he can’t behave,” the source says frankly. Sadly, that has been apparent for a while. “But that Jordyn would make out with him,” the insider says. “It first seemed like a made up rumor.” “It wasn’t anything they wanted to drop,” the source says of how the Kardashians viewed those initial reports. “So several family members reached out to people they believed had been at the party,” the insider shares. It’s always interesting to hear about how celebrities confirm what is and is not true. The “bubble” can be powerful — we’ve seen celebrities buy bogus stories and disbelief the truth. Though, really, anyone can do that. But they asked around about Tristan and Jordyn “and they were told it was true.” So how is Khloe grappling with all of this? “She’s very good at compartmentalizing,” the source characterizes. That can be a good thing if you’re a medical examiner. It’s not always good for your real-life relationships. “And at the end of the day,” the insider claims. “She wants True to have a happy relationship with both of her parents.” Some believe that Khloe stuck with Tristan the first time out of a misguided belief that she owed it to True to stay with a cheater. Still, apparently Khloe isn’t plotting against Tristan, as “she’s not one to seek revenge or hold on to negativity.” Can’t relate. “Khloe is doing okay,” the source assesses. “She’s still upset about what happened,” the insider acknowledges. “And talks about it a lot.” “But it really seems she is able to see what everyone else has been seeing for so long,” the source notes. “That she was always too good for Tristan.” According to the insider, “she deserves so much better.” Tristan can find plenty of women who would be happy to be in a relationship with him and even have his child while he gives other women the business. But that’s not Khloe. He should have respected that. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods! (And It Was All Caught on Camera?!)

Game of Thrones Season 8 Preview: WTF Is Up With Arya?

Like many TV aficionados, you may have tried to wash away the bad taste of a Green Book victory at the Oscars by checking in with another project that had Mahershala Ali partnering up with an ornery white guy. We’re talking, of course, about True Detective , which wrapped it’s predictably dour, curiously overstuffed third season on Sunday night. But before a bunch of mustachioed guys could grumble about the real killer and what it all means, man , HBO presented one of its “here’s why you continue to pay 15 bucks a month” trailer montages. The segment filled viewers in on what’s to come in the months ahead — the long-awaited Deadwood movie, the return of Big Little Lies , new seasons of Barry, Veep , and Succession … Oh, and the final episodes of that show with the Wall and the crumbling society intent on ignoring growing threats to its very existence. Game of Thrones Season 8 Preview Teaser No, CNN’s not canceling Anderson Cooper. We’re talking about Game of Thrones , the final episodes of which are set to begin airing on April 14. Now, at this point, pretty much everyone’s got their theories about the ending of Game of Thrones , but that’s not stopping HBO and the show’s producers from playing it close to the vest. The new teaser gives away next to nothing — but that’s not stopping fans from dissecting this latest morsel in search of hidden meaning. We’re given little more than a shot of some soaring dragons, followed by a close-up of Arya smiling at … something. The way the trailer is cut, it appears that she’s smiling up at the dragons, but that could be misleading. Of course, it would make sense that Arya would be pleased by a fire-breathing symbol of the Khaleesi-Jon Snow alliance, and it’s opposition to Cersei and the rest of the baddies from King’s Landing. And it’s worth noting that Arya’s journey has been more abstract than those of the other main characters. In other words, homegirl has seen some sh-t, and she’s closely acquainted with the dark side of Westeros. So maybe her optimistic reaction is a sign that the dragons are being deployed to address the growing White Walker issue. Or maybe we’re just reading way too much into three seconds of footage and a semi-smile. Whatever the case, you can be sure we’ll be front and center when our questions finally start getting answered on April 14! View Slideshow: Game of Thrones: ALL the Season 7 Photos!

Larry Caputo Cozies Up With New Girlfriend Following Divorce

Fans have been captivated by Theresa Caputo’s ability to speak with the dead for years thanks to TLC’s Long Island Medium .  But it wasn’t just her special gift that kept them coming back season after season. Viewers became invested in the Caputo’s family life, including husband Larry and their two children.  Theresa and Larry were married for over two decades and fans were shocked in 2017 when the couple called it quits . Even making light jokes that she ” should have seen it coming .” But now, Larry Caputo appears to have officially moved on following the divorce.  The reality star got fans chatting on Thursday afternoon after he took to Instagram to share a photo with his new girlfriend.  “Love my baby boo!” he captioned the shot which included a heart emoji.  One follower was supportive commenting, “so happy you’re happy,” to which Larry responded, “Thank you so much.” But as to be expected, not everyone was so kind on the social media platform. “You should go back to Teresa,” one user clapped. “It’s a shame to throw 28 years of marriage.”  Larry replied to the hater, “What’s the matter? You got nothing better to do? You must be miserable.”  Back in July 2018, TMZ reported that Larry was seeing a woman named Connie Stauddy after they were spotted shopping together in Alabama. Connie allegedly was also going through a divorce which I’m sure helped spark up some conversation material between the two.  Sources told TMZ that Larry and Connie first met when Connie reached out to Theresa for a reading.  But after Larry’s innocent Instagram post, fans are beginning to miss him and Theresa together. The Long Island medium reassures us that she is more than ok and is spending her time focusing on family and work.  In addition, she is traveling across the country for the Theresa Caputo live tour and the star is expected to return for another season on TLC. And when it comes to her ex-husband? “There is no purpose in being angry and being mad,” she shared with E! News . “We have over 30 years together and you just can’t forget about that. You know we still have to honor and treasure that and more importantly, respect that.” Besides, the two will be spending a lot of time together as they prepare to marry their only daughter, Victoria Caputo, who recently got engaged. “Victoria’s ENGAGED! Congratulations to my beautiful baby and her future husband Michael,” Theresa shared on Instagram. “Let the planning begin! #engaged #bridetobe #gettingmarried #longislandmedium.” Larry later joined in on the celebratory posts sharing, “I’m a happy daddy! My baby girl got engaged. I love you soo much Victoria and happy for you and Michael. Let me stop before I start to cry.” And while fans may not be entirely thrilled that the family is going through some dramatic changes, we can’t deny that they seem happy and content with their choice.  People released a joint statement from the former pair that read, “After 28 years of marriage, we have decided to legally separate. We will always love each other and our two wonderful children.” “We are united in supporting each other and our family.” The two remain friends, even though they are living on opposite costs and focusing on moving forward with their own lives. And while Theresa may be single as of now, she jokes to E! about her future.  “Let me finish getting divorced and then you can look for me on Tinder. How’s that?” .

Source: Handout / Getty Michael Avenatti is going in for the kill. Reportedly, the outspoken lawyer is turning over yet another R. Kelly sex tape to authorities. Actually, it’s more like a sexual assault tape since the victim was reportedly just 14-year-old at the time the film was made. Reports TMZ : Sources familiar with the case tell TMZ … attorney Michael Avenatti will turn over a 55-minute VHS video Monday to Cook County prosecutors. We’re told the video shows R. Kelly having sex with the same 14-year-old girl depicted in the first video Avenatti obtained, which was shot in 1999. This second video was shot around 2000. We’re told, just like the first video, there are multiple references to the girl being 14 years old. Our sources say R. Kelly is repeatedly “coaching” the girl through various sexual situations. At one point, we’re told R. Kelly is seen choking the girl while having anal intercourse. Our sources also say there’s a part where he takes some sort of lotion and “sprays” it all over her face. We’re told he then chokes her, mounts her from behind and turns her face to camera for a reaction shot. Word is Avenatti is also seeking a third video. Also, he plans to go after R. Kelly’s “enablers” who have allegedly aided him in getting away with supposed abuses for over 20 years. R. Kelly has been indicted and charged with 10 counts of criminal sexual abuse. The R&B singer is still in jail as he scrounges up $1M bond. Keep his passport. — Photo: Chicago PD/Getty

C onnor Benjamin Littlejohn is still in grade school, but he’s already making moves in the literary world. The 10-year-old has penned his own book series for children dubbed Tag, You’re It! , Black News reported. Meet Connor Benjamin Littlejohn, a young reader turned writer whose book series called “Tag, You're It!” is inspiring people young and old! #blackpreneur #blackauthor #blackexcellence https://t.co/gfHCUeIKom — Black News (@BlackNews) February 20, 2019 Littlejohn—who is based in Washington, D.C. —started his book series as an avenue to channel his passion for reading and writing, the news outlet writes. A writing assignment given to him by his fourth-grade teacher sparked the inspiration for the series. The book series that he created is centered on a group of friends who battle monsters and zombies to save their town. Ever since launching the series last year, his books have been added to classrooms all over the country. Littlejohn says that he wanted to create the books so that children like him see themselves reflected in the literature that they read. “I’m really happy that my books are giving kids like me a chance to see themselves in fun stories,” he said in a statement, according to the news outlet. “I love to read and want to encourage other kids to read great books and maybe even write new books of their own.” Teachers throughout the country have said that his books have resonated with their students. “I purchased this book as a read-aloud for my 4th grade class,” said one of the teachers. “My students laughed out loud while listening and were inspired by the creative voice of this talented young author! The cliffhanger at the end left us all very eager for the second installment of the series!” There are many young Black authors who are making a name for themselves. In January, 7-year-old Georgia-bred author Nicholas Buamah had his book Kayla & Kyle The Walking Dictionaries: Election Day accepted into the Library of Congress. Buamah created the book in an effort to help youngsters build their vocabulary.

Young Black Author Aims To Increase Representation In Literature

Meghan Markle Gets a Tattoo! Sort Of!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry made one of their final international stops before settling down for parenthood in the very near future. On Sunday, the Royal Couple traveled to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco to visit a boarding school for girls. And, during the trip, the polarizing Duchess of Sussex received a special henna tattoo to mark her seven months of pregnancy. (Yes, seven months! Can you believe it? The baby really is coming soon, folks!) The expecting couple kept very close to each other during their visit, holding hands and sharing a multitude of sweet moments during their busy engagement. At one point, Meghan gently rested her head on Harry’s shoulder and he flashed a big smile. At another point, she proudly showed off her temporary new ink, as you can see here: The tattoo has been making headlines across the Internet today, as it extends from Meghan’s wrist all the way up her pointer finger. From our brief research, it doesn’t appear that the tattoo design is of anything in particular, but simply having it penned on to her skin was a welcoming gesture on Markle’ss part. It showed how accepting she is of other cultures. Neither Markle – who was recently celebrated by her close famous friends in New York – nor Harry spoke to the press during this outing, but details have been made public nonetheless. In addition to taking part in the aforementioned Henna ceremony, the superstars visited the Education for All Boarding House in the Atlas Mountains. This boarding house allows girls from rural areas to reside closer to their school, thereby helping to further and accelerate their education. According to the organization’s website, up to 83 percent of women in Morocco are illiterate. It’s a very serious issue. Moreover, many have limited access to secondary schools and/or can’t afford transport to school. Markle and Harry made a point to visit with the students here and to impart as much wisdom as they could.  But that wasn’t all. In addition, the gorgeous Highnesses went to the Lycée Collegial Le Grand Atlas, where they observed students practicing English. The duo also spoke to a few of the teachers and watched students partake in a soccer game. Pretty great all around, huh? Perhaps we ought to focus more on these sort of humanitarian efforts… instead of one Markle’s awful and very selfish family .
