Asia Argento Breaks Silence, Mourns Boyfriend Anthony Bourdain

Asia Argento is the latest celebrity to speak out about the stunning suicide of Anthony Bourdain . But Argento’s words carry more weight than most others… because she had been dating the celebrity chef at the time of his tragic death. As previously reported, Bourdain killed himself this week while on location in France for an episode of his CNN series, Parts Unknown. He was found unresponsive in his hotel room by close friend and fellow chef Eric Ripert, with multiple outlets writing since tha Bourdain hanged himself. This is what CNN said in a statement that confirmed the awful news: It is with extraordinary sadness we can confirm the death of our friend and colleague, Anthony Bourdain. “His love of great adventure, new friends, fine food and drink and the remarkable stories of the world made him a unique storyteller. “His talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. “Our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time.” Now, hours after this suicide was made public, Argento has briefly opened up about her boyfriend of several months. Wrote the actress on Twitter: “Anthony gave all of himself in everything that he did. “His brilliant, fearless spirit touched and inspired so many, and his generosity knew no bounds. “He was my love, my rock, my protector. I am beyond devastated. “My thoughts are with his family. I would ask that you respect their privacy and mine.” Argento and Bourdin did not publicize their romance very much, but the latter spoke out in praise and admiration of the former last year amidst the Harvey Weinstein sexual assault scandal because Asia was one of the first women who accused the movie producer of rape. The actress and the late chef met on an episode of Parts Unknown that was filmed in Rome and started dating last year. Bourdain’s death has sent shockwaves through Hollywood. It took place just three days after designer Kate Spade also committed suicide ; also via hanging. French police have to People Magazine that Bourdain and Ripert were in France together while filming an installment of Bourdain’s award-winning series — and Ripert has now also issued a statement in the wake of this tragedy. It reads as follows: Anthony was a dear friend. He was an exceptional human being, so inspiring and generous. One of the great storytellers of our time who connected with so many. I wish him peace. My love and prayers are with his family, friends and loved ones. Bourdain leaves behind an 11-year old daughter. His best-selling memoir, “Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly,” led to his first television show on The Food Network, which eventually led to Parts Unknown premiering on CNN in 2013. It immediately won a Peabody Award. Bourdain was 61 years old. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Anthony Bourdain: Celebrities React to Shocking Suicide

Terrell Owens Chooses Not To Attend His Induction Into NFL Hall of Fame

Source: photo: WENN After missing out on making the Hall of Fame his first go ’round, Terrell Owens has been chosen to be enshrined in that building in Canton, Ohio. However,  he’s not impressed with that feat anymore. At least not enough to attend his own ceremony. In an act of defiance (and pettiness), Terrell Owens has chosen to skip his induction into the Hall of Fame for a celebration of his own according to ESPN . “While I am incredibly appreciative of this opportunity, I have made the decision to publicly decline my invitation to attend the induction ceremony in Canton,” Owens said in a statement released Thursday. “… After visiting Canton earlier this year, I came to the realization that I wish to celebrate what will be one of the most memorable days of my life, elsewhere.” Um, ok. While TO’s decision reeks of resentment and bitterness, HOF president David Baker respects Owen’s choice to not attend. “We are disappointed but will respect Terrell’s decision not to participate in the enshrinement,” Hall of Fame president David Baker said in a statement. “While unprecedented, the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the nearly 5,000 volunteers and the entire community are committed to celebrating the excellence of the Class of 2018 that will kick off the NFL’s 99th season.” The ceremony will take place on August 4th in Canton, Ohio, which leaves Owen’s a lot of time to change his mind, but from the looks of things he seems ready to live with a big regret just to make a point. At least he took the time to congratulate everyone else who made it to legendary status. “I wish to congratulate all past, current and future inductees,” Owens said in the statement. “It is quite an honor to be part of such elite company. This honor is something that I will cherish forever.” It’s not too late to get over your own ego, TO. Just sayin.’

Queen Elizabeth II to Meghan Markle: You Better Have a Son!

It’s been less than three weeks since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry got married , but the couple isn’t wasting any time when it comes to the business of starting a family. We’ve known from the start that Harry and Meghan want to have kids ASAP , but now the issue is somewhat complicated by those stodgy Brits and their dodgy rules about inheritance. You see, when Harry and Meg tied the knot they were granted the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex. This is one of those customs that no one understands but has been observed since time immemorial regardless. Those titles were created specifically for Harry and Meghan, and as far we can tell the sole reason is that “Prince and Prince’s Wife” just doesn’t have much of a ring to it. Anyway, there have been lots of jokes about the pressure on Meghan to give birth to a male heir, but the royal family is such an absurd institution that her kids may actually be punished if they dare to commit the unpardonable offense of lacking ding-dongs. Yes, People magazine confirmed this week that if Harry and Meghan only have daughters, the girls will not inherit the Sussex title . Yet again, no one at Buckingham Palace could give you a satisfying explanation for why this is. But you can bet several people would look at you like a blithering dolt for asking about it. The news doesn’t come as much of a shock, because wangs are of the utmost importance in the Brit’s peerage system. But like so much of the news you hear about in 2018, it does make you want to go, “Really?! That’s still going on?” Of course, rule changes are not unheard of, and it’s anyone’s guess who will be occupying the throne by the time Harry and Meghan’s currently-non-existent kids reach adulthood. Queen Elizabeth II is 92, so unless she turns out to be a cyborg — as we’ve long suspected — then it will probably be Prince Charles, Prince William, or someone else entirely. Will means the current system could be tossed out the window entirely. On a lighter note, QE2 has entirely turned her back on Meg and Harry. In fact, she gave them a freakin’ country house as a wedding gift this week. We’re guessing stuff like that really softens the blow of your kids not being granted some meaningless title. Of course, this is an absurd conversation for to even be having at this point, as Harry and Meghan might not even have daughters. And even if they do, Suits: The Next Generation will probably be a massive hit on the USA Network by then, which means the girls probably won’t be hurting for work.

Duggar Family Mourns the Death of a Loved One

Sad news out of Arkansas today, as members of the Duggar family are mourning a tragic loss. Jessa Duggar broke the news on Facebook this week, asking for fans’ help in supporting the family of Dianna Fleshman, a longtime friend who was tragically struck down in her prime. “Our hearts ache over the loss of this dear friend, but we know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord,” Jessa wrote, along with a link to the family’s GoFundMe page. “Please continue to pray for Dianna’s family, and especially for her husband and 2-month-old son, during this time.” Jessa did not go into further detail, but according to the fundraising page, Dianna and her husband, Dylan Fleshman, were driving from Oklahoma to Minnesota with their infant son when they were struck by a crop-sprayer. Dylan and Victor were unharmed, but Dianna died in a hospital six days after the accident. “On Friday, the 25th of May, 2018 Dylan and Dianna Fleshman (from Guthrie, Oklahoma) were driving to her family’s house in Hayfield, Minnesota for dinner, when they collided with a large crop sprayer a half mile from the family’s home,” reads the GoFundMe page. “Dylan and their two-month-old son Vincent came away from the accident without injury. However, Dianna received major head trauma and a fractured skull.” As Dylan is now his infant son’s sole caretaker, it may be quite some time before he’s able to return to work. “We are hoping to raise funds for Dylan and his family as he will be unable to work for an extended amount of time,” the family explained. “We feel that $68,000 is a good start to help ease some of the financial pressure that he will be facing. Please keep the Fleshman family in your prayers as there are difficult decisions and hard times ahead. “Thank you for your prayers and support. We are are hoping to raise this money over the next few weeks.” Currently, more than $26,000 has been raised for Dianna’s family. As one might expect of such a massive family, the Duggars have a massive network of friends. And when they’re able to, they often use their considerable clout to lend a hand to those in need. Just last year, a friend of Jill Duggar’s was murdered , and the Duggars stepped up to assist with fundraising efforts for the benefit of the woman’s family. Money may seem a matter of little consequence in the face of death, but the Duggars seem well aware that for those left behind, it can help to alleviate a crushing burden. Watch Counting On online for more of the Duggars at their charitable best, and click the link at the top of this article to help the Fleshman family with a financial contribution.

Scott Disick and Sofia Richie: It’s Over! Because Someone Cheated!

Scott Disick rose to fame, of course, as a cast member on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Which is kind of ironic, it turns out. Because Scott Disick cannot keep it in his pants. Indeed, multiple celebrity gossip outlets are now reporting that Sofia Richie has broken up with Disick because she thinks he cheated on her with another woman. We’ll wait for you to pick up your jaw from the floor before continuing with any further detail… All ready? All set? Has the complete and total shock of this news worn off? Okay then: “He cheated on her in Miami and she found out and told [her father] Lionel,” a source tells Us Weekly, adding: “He said he is going to cut her off and write her out of his will if she continues her relationship with Scott as he thinks he’s extremely toxic for her.” Yikes. Lionel Richie has made it clear in the past that he h opes his daughter cuts Disick loose . E! News, meanwhile, an outlet typically locked in to the happenings surrounding anything or anyone Kardashian-related, echoes this account. An insider tells this website the same thing: Disick stepped out on Richie in Miami, not very long after the stars returned from a romantic trip to St. Bart’s, and Sofia’s dad really did play a key role in the break-up. The couple was also still technically an item when Disick was spotted getting very cozy with some woman at Kanye West’s album listening party in Wyoming just a few days ago. Sofia “is upset and sad but feels like she had no choice and she couldn’t stand for being cheated on and being in such a toxic relationship,” says an E! source. This same individual adds that Disick “unphased by [Richie’s] decision” and “doesn’t seem to care too much.”  Disick, who has two daughters and a son with Kourtney Kardashian, may now “spiral out of control immediately without Sofia around ,” E! continues. Scott and Kourtney were together for about nine years (off and on, that is) until Disick spent a few weeks partying too much in the summer of 2015. Aside from once again putting booze before his loved ones, Disick allegedly hooked up at the time with an ex-girlfriend. He’s always had difficulty remaining loyal as a boyfriend. So it’s hard to say we’re blown away by these reports, although the timing is rather incredible, even for someone we trust as little as Disick. He and Richie had just taken a vacation together, during which the latter shared the following image and also wrote, in celebration of Scott’s 35th birthday, that she loves Disick . It now looks as if the dropping of this L-Bomb has blown up in Sofia’s face. Writes E!: “She is relying on her family for support and they are trying to keep her busy. She is spending her time with them and with her close friends.” People Magazine also confirms this split and also confirms that Disick’s “sloppy” actions when drunk are what led to the parting of ways. But will it be permanent? Maybe not, in Disick’s misguided view. “He thinks she might change her mind. He isn’t really taking it seriously,” a source tells People. Disick and Richie were together for about a year. Folks were taken aback to see them together in Cannes in May of 2017… and then even more taken aback when the relationship ended up being more than a fling. Although, in Disick’s mind, let’s be honest: everything in life is a fling. View Slideshow: The Good, The Bad, The Lord: 23 Times Scott Disick Owned Reality TV

Really??? San Antonio Woman Allegedly Had An Affair With Her Nephew, Then Killed Him To Keep It A Secret

Bexar County Sheriff’s Office Prosecutors Claim This Woman Murdered Her Nephew After Their Affair Authorities had been called to the Abdelaziz family’s home along in San Antonio seven times before the fatal stabbing of Mohammed Abdelaziz, according to KENS–That was in August 2016. The man’s aunt by marriage, Andira Abdelaziz, has since been charged with stabbing Mohammed in the back that fateful day. Andira’s marriage to Mohammed’s uncle was arranged when she was only 14-years-old, according to the San Antonio Express-News, which is a part of the family’s Palestinian cultural tradition. During the first day of her trial on Thursday, prosecutor Clayton Hayden told the jury that 37-years-old Andira and Mohammed were having an affair for years, and that their sexual relationship played a big part in Mohammed’s murder. Mohammed entered his uncle’s home at about 8 a.m. the day he was murdered, which prompted a call where police say they were responding to a possible burglary–when they arrived, he told them everything in the home was fine, so they left. Minutes later, sheriff’s deputies were called back to the house, this time to  a messier scene , WOAI reported. Mohammed had crashed his car into the front of the house, and laid dead at the wheel with a stab wound in his back…he had allegedly gotten in his car after being stabbed in an attempt to flee the scene. The prosecutor accused Andira on Thursday of stabbing Mohammed to keep their affair a secret. “He sent some texts suggesting that he was going to reveal the romantic relationship to the family,” Hayden said, adding that the revelation of such infidelity would have been a disgrace to a family that adheres to Palestinian cultural norms. If convicted, Andira Abdelaziz faces up to life in prison.
