We are praying for all the victims. 50 people are reported dead with another 53 being injured. The wounded were evacuated from the scene of a deadly shooting and hostage situation at a nightclub in Orlando, early on Sunday morning.
Leave it to Lin-Manuel Miranda to find a powerful, unique way to honors those killed in the Orlando shooting early Sunday morning. The creator and star of Hamilton, which dominated the 2016 Tony Awards last night, made a powerful statement while accepting the Tony Award for Best Original Score (Music and/or Lyrics) Written for the Theatre category. It was written in sonnet form and it opened by thanking his wife, before Miranda moved on to paying tribute to the 50 victims who were killed inside a gay nightclub . “We chase the melodies that seem to find us until they’re finished songs and start to play,” Miranda said. “When senseless acts of tragedy remind us that nothing here is promised, not one day.” He later added: Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside. “I hadn’t written anything going into today. I hadn’t heard about the day’s events until after our Tony rehearsal,” Miranda said backstage after the ceremony, during which Hamilton won 11 awards including best musical. “I’d always had this time between rehearsal and tonight to think about what I’d say if I was lucky enough to be called up, and it sort of informed all of it… “We live in this world where beautiful and horrible things exist at the same time and often on the same day. … Theater doesn’t exist without the LGBTQ community. It’s the cornerstone of our industry.” Earlier in the Tony Awards, host James Corden also honored the victims of the Orlando shooting. “Hate will never win,” he remarked in pre-taped remarks before the event began. Take a look at Miranda's full sonnet below and join us in honoring those who died in this senseless act of ignorance, hate and cowardice in Orlando.

She did right by him for halting divorce proceedings when he needed her most. Now, though, Khloe Kardashian has to take care of herself and her future, which doesn’t include Lamar Odom. After filing for a second time in May, Kardashian is trying to move the process along, but she’s hit a few roadblocks. And they’ve all been put there by Odom. First, he wanted to get rid of their prior settlement and receive more money from Kardashian. Now, Odom is reportedly making threats that are frightening enough to push Kardashian to consider a restraining order. “He’s totally lost it , calling her every name under the sun and yelling at her for breaking promises she made to him on his death bed,” a source told Radar Online . “It’s pretty vicious,” the source added, pointing out that the former NBA player “has been bombarding her with bitter texts and drunken rambling messages that are starting to scare her.” View Slideshow: 15 Celebs Who Have Been Accused Of Domestic Violence It’s gotten to the point where the threats are starting to scare Kardashian. “She’s now considering a restraining order against him because he’s been threatening all kinds of crazy things, from spilling all her secrets to hoping she drops dead.” Prior to filing, Kardashian was shocked to learn that Odom wanted a new settlement in their divorce. “Khloe was stunned beyond words,” an insider Told In Touch in April. The reality star is ticked off that Odom is being greend, and “plans to ask the judge to approve the same financial settlement she and Lamar previously signed off on.” This settlement, signed off on by both parties last summer (before Odom suffered an overdose in October), only includes the 50% each of the sale from their Tarzana home. Now, Odom is trying to “get as much money as he can out of her because the majority of his own wealth is gone.” In fact, the New York native “has strongly hinted he has no problem asking for spousal support now because it’s not clear whether he’ll be able to play in the NBA again after his health crisis.” View Slideshow: 17 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces EVER

Khloe Kardashian May File For Restraining Order Against Lamar Odom For Harassment Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom have been doing the divorce dance for several years now. Following his overdose in Las Vegas last year, some thought that the two might reconcile after Khloe nursed him back to health. But according to RadarOnline , it appears that love has been replaced with fear… Khloe Kardashian has finally decided to walk away from her marriage to Lamar Odom, but convincing the former basketball star their relationship’s over hasn’t been very easy. “He’s totally lost it, calling her every name under the sun and yelling at her for breaking promises she made to him on his death bed,” an insider told RadarOnline.com. “It’s pretty vicious,” continued the insider, noting 36-year-old Odom, who nearly died after an overdose at a Nevada brothel last fall, “has been bombarding her with bitter texts and drunken rambling messages that are starting to scare her.” Sounds like ol’ Lammy Lam-Lam is back up to his old tricks… The situation has escalated so much that Kardashian is now looking into all her options, including legally keeping her ex away. “She’s now considering a restraining order against him because he’s been threatening all kinds of crazy things, from spilling all her secrets to hoping she drops dead,” revealed the insider. Lamar Odom is a drug-addict. The only person who can help him at this point is himself. Hopefully he gets it together, he might not be so lucky next time… Image via WENN/Splash
