Source: Ron Galella / Getty Nivea Talks Having Baby With Lil Wayne The Same Year As Lauren London Singer Nivea spoke in an interview with Vlad TV and in it, she clarifies the timeline of her and Lauren London’s pregnancies. The ladies made headlines years back after giving birth to children by Lil Wayne just 3 months apart. Nivea, who was engaged to Wayne at the time says at first she didn’t mind getting back into a relationship with Weezy, knowing Lauren was expecting. “When we reconnected, I had three [kids],” Nivea said. “I wasn’t pregnant. That’s not the reason he proposed to me or anything like that. I took it for, ‘You accepted mine.’ If this occurred before us and we’re just now getting back to it, why wouldn’t I accept that son if you’re telling me you want to marry me? So that was that.” Unfortunately, their engagement fizzled and Nivea actual credits Lauren for helping her get through a touch time. Nivea on connecting with Lauren and forming a friendship: “We called each other to get information because she and I were both previous relationships of his in our younger years as well. But it was our first time ever talking. We talked about all kinds of stuff from the past and in that we connected as friends. It’s still a testament to the type of man he is because all of his baby mothers, we’re all cool with each other. We get now that the children are here, damn it! They’re here now. You can’t take nothing back. So we are the best mothers that I’ve ever seen in a group with the same baby father. I think it’s amazing.” Hit play to hear it.
Fans are so optimistic about Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott getting back together that some think that they’re already dating again. A new report says that this isn’t quite the case, even though they are spending an awful lot of time together and it’s not all about Stormi. But sources close to the couple think that they’ll definitely get back together — and they’ve even worked out a timeline. TMZ reports that, though Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott may have broken up, they’re not entirely acting like it. And though the two had already affirmed their commitment to co-parenting Stormi, it doesn’t look like their time together is all about their daughter. Despite falling out of love, sources describe how Travis has been spending an awful lot of time at Kylie’s house. There are no plans to change this pattern any time soon, of course, as that’s where their precious little girl lives. But after Travis injured his knee on stage during a performance, he’s now recouperating over at Kylie’s. We’re pretty sure that couple breaks up, then man gets injured and must be tended to and they fall back in love is a standard romance premise. But even on the nights when Travis does not sleep over, he’s clearly still taking a walk down memory lane. On those nights, the rapper sleeps at the Beverly Hills home where he and Kylie and Stormi had previously lived together. Travis and Kylie are intentionally working on co-parenting as friends. Friendship is a different dynamic than what they had before. But the calendar itself is going to force the two to spend even more time together, because the holidays are coming up. As evidenced by Kim taking the reins of the big Kardashian Christmas Eve party last year, the holidays are a huge deal for that family. It makes sense, when you have such a large and very close family all living in such proximity to each other. Travis and Kylie are going to make sure that they’re both there for Stormi as her parents to give her “normal” holiday experiences. And even though they’re not currently a couple, some who’ve had their eyes on these two expect that to change before too long. The holidays can bring people closer, and Kylie does have a pattern of getting back with her exes … again and again and again. Kylie and Travis have a lot of unusual factors in their relationship that make them better able to co-parent after a breakup. For one thing, they are both rich. Travis is a millionaire. Kylie is a billionaire. When money is not a stress factor, either for childcare or vacations or anything else, it’s just easier to focus on your child after a breakup. They also became pregnant within weeks of dating, so they didn’t really have a lot of relationship baggage — good or bad — from before the baby bump. They also didn’t have a messy breakup. Despite unsubstantiated cheating rumors , more credible reports say that they just fell out of love. These factors make them better able to co-parent harmoniously, which is very much to the benefit of their daughter. Stormi delights in both of her parents and is growing up faster than any of us can believe. In a recent video, Stormi was listening to a song in which Kylie sings, but demanded that Kylie play music where “daddy sings.” Kylie was clearly amused by this request. Stormi was toddling around, holding the phone, and even tried to swipe the screen. She’s going to have a blast over these holidays. She may even form some lasting memories this time around. As for Kylie and Travis … no one knows the future, but there’s a decent chance that they’ll fall back into old habits under the mistletoe.

Bad news today for Teen Mom 2's Nathan Griffith – and it might also be some rare good news for his long-suffering ex, Jenelle Evans. The Ashley's Reality Roundup first reported that Griffith was arrested for driving while impaired in North Carolina on Thursday night. If he were a first time offender, Nathan probably wouldn't have much to worry about … but this is Nathan we're talking about here. Obviously, if you know his history, he's very far from that, and he's also in the midst of a particularly ugly custody battle with Jenelle. How does she feel about this right about now? Is his misfortune the lucky break she needed in the battle for their young son Kaiser? Well, it seems there'll be some cause for celebration on The Land tonight, and not just because of killing pigs or some redneck s–t. Take a look: 1. Busted Yes, it’s another arrest for another troubled Teen Mom 2 baby daddy, who was once engaged to Jenelle Evans before their relationship went horribly, terribly wrong. And this run-in with the law may have some major repercussions for Nate the Not-So-Great. 2. Nate the Not-So Great According to celebrity news site The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Griffith was picked up by Wake County cops on Thursday. He was allegedly driving while impaired, and dude is still behind bars at press time. 3. Bad Stuff As far as we know, he’s currently being held on $10,000 bail. It’s not clear what Nathan’s financial situation is, but that five-figure sum is not a paltry amount to fork over just to secure your own freedom pending trial. 4. Waiting … Not the Hardest Part This Time According to The Ashley, Griffith may not get sprung until he goes before a judge. He is currently “awaiting trial,” and is scheduled to go before a judge on Friday. 5. A Dubious Distinction Nate, of course, is best known as the former fiance of Jenelle and the father of her son Kaiser, her second child. 6. Not a Competition, But … Granted, Nathan doesn’t have nearly as many mug shots as Jenelle (who does, in all seriousness?!), but he’s got quite a lengthy rap sheet of his own, and that’s likely to come back to haunt him to at least some degree here.

Source: @PhotosByBeanz / @PhotosByBeanz Nicki Minaj has been the bearer of fake news lately. From the abrupt announcement then retraction of her “retirement” , to her latest stunt, fans are understandably giving her the side-eye. During an interview at her Fendi capsule collection launch on Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles on Tuesday (Oct.15), Nicki Minaj was asked by Entertainment Tonight if she and Adele would be joining forces in the studio anytime soon, to which Minaj responded that a collaboration was already underway. “Yes and yes, yes and yes, wooo hoo!” Minaj excited stated. “But Adele made me swear to secrecy that I’m not allowed to tell anyone that I’m working with her. And that we already shot a video. And it’s an epic song! Ahh!” View this post on Instagram Adele proved she can rap a Nicki Minaj verse, but will these two ever join forces? Nicki says she was kidding, but we’re still Barbie Dreamin’ for a collab! A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) on Oct 16, 2019 at 10:41am PDT The announcement quickly gained steam as fans of both were overjoyed, but that joy was quickly diminished after Nicki announced that the big reveal was just a “joke.” “Omg guys. I thought everyone could clearly see I was being sarcastic. Sh*t! Now I have to go to Adele’s studio & steal some files. Who’s in the UK? I got a job for you .” Would a Nicki-Adele collaboration work?” Omg guys. I thought everyone could clearly see I was being sarcastic. Shit! Now I have to go to Adele’s studio & steal some files. Who’s in the UK? I got a job for you https://t.co/oyh4hECNCC — Mrs. Petty (@NICKIMINAJ) October 16, 2019 While Nicki Minaj may be “joking” about her work collaborations, there is one collaboration that she is taking very seriously and that is her union with boyfriend Kenneth Petty . During an interview with E! News , Minaj revealed that marriage is definitely happening and it could be as soon as within the week. “We’ve gotten our marriage license, but there’s a particular pastor who I want to officiate and so she was just made available as of today,” she said. “She told me she’s available within the next week, so we could be married in the next seven days.” In August, Nicki Minaj announced that she and her boyfriend were officially engaged after revealing that the two had obtained a marriage license. “We still had to pick it up and I was traveling, by the time I came back, we had to renew it again,” Nicki Minaj said at the time. “From that time, you have 90 days to get married. That was about a week ago, so now I have about 80 days.” Although she has big plans for her family life, Minaj assured fans that the wedding wouldn’t stop her from releasing new music. “I have to work on my album and I have a lot to focus on that I don’t want to do the big wedding now. We’ll do the big wedding later,” Minaj continued. “I’ll be married before my album comes out, but will have my wedding after the album comes out. Before the 90 days is over, yes, I will be married.”
Source: Tom Williams / Getty Cory Booker Reads Rosario Dawson 250 Page Books Over The Phone Before Bed Cory Booker is in the midst of running for President Of The United States, so it’s safe to say his time is very limited for outside activities. Just last month reports surfaced that if he didn’t raise another almost $2 million dollars he would be out the race altogether. Luckily for the Presidential hopeful, he was present for the latest Democratic debate this week, proving he secured that $2,000,000. Even with the difficult task at hand and campaign financial woes, it looks like Senator Booker still finds time to tend to his boo Rosario Dawson . During her latest profile for the Washington Post , we learn that not only is he finding the time, but he’s finding a whole lot of it. In the profile, she opens up about her love life and gives some insight into their year-old romance, such as pet names–stating that he calls her “RIB.” Obviously, that’s an ode to the bible, but it’s also what her initials would be if she decides to take his last name (we see you, smooth talker). Dawson also shared that they love being those annoying vegans who tell everyone that they’re vegan for no reason other than to be obnoxious. However, the biggest highlight and the piece that’s since gone viral is the fact that Cory “Whats in the Kool-aid” Booker hits Rosario on the FaceTime to read 250-page historical books to her. To quote the Post piece: “Dawson says they went two months without seeing each other. But they’ve made up for it with FaceTime, which they try to do twice a day. He’s gotten in the habit of sending her music every morning, and he just finished reading David Benioff’s World War II novel “City of Thieves” to her over the phone.” In theory, the sentiment is very cute, but “romantic” may be a stretch. The novel takes over 5 hours to read aloud and the content is set during World War II. As The Cut pointed out, this ain’t even the first time he’s done this for a love interest, which he said on record previously. In a 2016 interview with the New York Times , Booker talked about his then-current girlfriend and their relationship, saying: “Before I knew it, we were reading the book out loud to each other, over the phone, and I was drawn in. “Soon we were reading chapters on our own, and she was telling me to slow down and not get too far ahead.” When Dawson dropped this cute little tidbit, she was probably unaware he had previously said this in a profile to gain those good guy points…but about a different woman. It’s one thing to listen your boo read a book to you over the phone, but it’s an entirely different feeling when its a World War II novel–then you find out he does this for all of his girls. Hopefully, these two make more time to spend together so they can avoid FaceTime dates in the form of novels altogether. View this post on Instagram Two premiere’s in two days!

Kurt Sutter, the executive producer best known for having created Sons of Anarchy and then its spinoff, Mayans M.C., has been fired by FX. The writer himself confirmed the news in a letter he sent to the cast and crew of the latter drama on Thursday afternoon. According to The Hollywood Reporter insiders, Sutter was let go due to “multiple complaints” over his behavior on the series, which chronicles a biker gang viewers first met on Sons of Anarchy. As mentioned above, Sutter detailed his dismissal by FX CEO John Landgraf and Disney TV Studios and ABC Entertainment chairman Dana Walden in a message sent to those who had been working with him on The Mayans for the past two years. In this message, he described himself as an “abrasive dick.” Representatives for FX and 20th Century Fox TV have not yet commented on the development, while representatives for Sutter did not respond to the aforementioned outlet’s multiple requests for a remark. Filming and production on the second season of Mayans M.C. has already been completed. Last month, Sutter told fans at the Season 2 premiere that he was planning to down from his executive producer role should this Sons of Anarchy follow-up earn a third season from FX. “It’s time for the white man to leave the building,” he told the audience at the Hollywood screening. Sutter went on to say at the time that a person of color should run the writers’ room because it’s a drama about a Mexican biker gang on the California-Mexico border. Always an outspoken showrunner, Sutter appeared as the character of Otto in multiple episodes of Sons of Anarchy. He was also one of the main writers on legendary FX drama The Shield. “This morning I was fired by Dana Walden and John Landgraf for all the complaints levied against me,” wrote Sutter in his letter to the cast and crew, adding: “Not the way I wanted to end my 18 year relationship with FX. At least being fired for being an abrasive dick is on brand… “I deeply apologize if I’ve made people feel less than or unsupported. My intention was literally the opposite. But clearly I’ve not been paying attention. “My arrogance and chronic distraction has created wreckage. Just know, I adore this cast and crew.” Elsewhere, however, Sutter was far more pointed in his criticism of the decision. Here is his lengthy letter in full: Let me begin by saying, I know who I am. I know the impact of my process. I’m intense and passionate. I take what I do very seriously. That’s what having a vision manifests. And if you fuck with that vision, I’m gonna push back. When I’m right, I let the work speak for itself. When I’m wrong, I own it, make amends and fix it. I pride myself on having a supportive and empowering set. I try to acknowledge all the hard work everyone does. I’m clear that it’s a collaborative effort. And I try to pass that philosophy down to my writers and producers so they do the same. Disney letting me go today was apparently based on data collected by HR and Business Affairs from writers, producers, cast and crew. They claim the intel suggests that I created a climate of hostility, favoritism and enabled a set where no one felt safe or appreciated. I know that’s not true. I’m not saying it was all sunshine and roses, but I’m close with most of those guys and they love going to work. I’m also not sure how, having been on set… maybe three times all season, I was able to singularly create that much damage Never did I think the ship was off course until after mid season when I suddenly was bombarded with unfavorable reports about the tension on set. I am not going to mention names, because I don’t want to point fingers. So yes, there were complaints. And ultimately whomever they are about lands on me to fix. That’s when I contacted the network to let them know. They told me they’d look into it. And to sit tight. So I did. Who I have been hard on this season is the studio and network. I’ve felt the creative scrutiny of Disney from day one. Notes on scripts and cuts have been heavy handed. Demanding a level of dumbing-down story and inane PC restraints like I’ve never experienced before. I genuinely feared for the creative future of the storytelling. So I pushed back.Hard. No different than I have in the past. In fact, much tamer than I ever was on SOA. However, I was dealing with personnel who didn’t know me. And my level of… passion. Clearly I ruffled a few mouse ears. I know my role at Mayans MC was going to be greatly reduced. I am handing off the show to Elgin. So it’s not the job that’s the issue. What pisses me off, what hurts the most, is that John Landgraf and Dana Walden sat across from me and sited a summary of a slanted truth formulated by lawyers and clerks. They blamed my dismissal on the cast and crew. People I care about. People I respect. They had no first hand knowledge of anything they were saying. They’ve never been on set or spoken to any of my people. I’m not saying all of the intel was bullshit. But I know that’s not why I was fired. The truth is, the suits wanted me gone. I stepped on toes and bruised egos. And in this Disney regime, I’m dangerous to the wholesome brand. And clearly not worth the trouble. So 18 years of friendship, loyalty and producing quality television, was flushed down the drain. They threw me under the fucking bus. I send this diatribe because I feel deeply wronged. They embarrassed me. They created a false narrative that could damage my reputation and career. I want them to understand the depth of that mistake. Talk soon. Thanks. ks. sutterink, the letter concluded.”
Last week, much of the Duggar family traveled west to visit Jinger Duggar in Los Angeles . It was the Duggars’ first pilgrimage to the City of Angels, and the entire Counting On clan made the trip — with two important exceptions. Jill Duggar stayed home with her kids, and her younger sister Joy-Anna embarked on a different kind of journey. Joy was curiously quiet on social media for most of the time that her family was in California, which led to rumors of a falling out. But now, we know she had simply set out on an adventure — one that made it very difficult to update her social media pages. Earlier this week, Joy posted the photo below to the joint Instagram account she shares with Austin. “Colorado,” the mother of one captioned the pic. “Y’all! I got to come with the guys this year on their Elk hunting trip! It’s freezing cold and we have already done a ton of hiking, but we’re excited cuz we’ve already spotted some elk!” she added. “Can’t wait for opening morning! It is absolutely GORGEOUS here!” While it’s unclear if Joy actually wielded a weapon herself, the revelation that she participated in an elk hunt didn’t sit well with some fans. “Why do you like to kill animals?I could not!” commented one such follower. Several others voiced their displeasure with Joy’s heavily-armed camping trip, but in the end, she seemed to have more supporters than detractors. “From one Colorado hunting woman to another, I appreciate you!” wrote one fan. ”I have lived here my whole life but my husband and I began hunting together 3 years ago,” the commenter continued. “Such an amazing experience and there’s just something about being surrounded by the beauty of Gods creation that really relaxes you! Cannot wait to get out there for deer season in just a few weeks! Good luck!!” Another fan pushed back against Joy’s critics, pointing out that raising one’s own food — by any means — generally cuts back on environmental waste: “If anything hunting is better for the world. Less packaging, zero plastic waste, zero machines for processing,” the follower commented. “As long as they’re eating what they hunt, what’s the problem. You can’t be against killing animals but not against destroying the environment.” One person who didn’t feel the need to weigh in on the debate was Joy. While she posted several updates on the trip she kept her comments apolitical, preferring instead to gush about her doting husband: “This Man! He has tucked me in every night, given me his blanket so I’d be warm, took my heavy backpack when I was getting tired, encouraged me when I was struggling to finish hiking up the steep trail, he is such a gentleman and helps encourage me to achieve me goals and dreams!” wrote Joy-Anna. “I love you so much, Austin Martyn!” As fans know, Joy-Anna suffered a miscarriage back in July, and she’s reportedly struggled with depression in the months since. So we’re in favor of whatever puts a smile on her face, be it hiking, hunting, or just spending quality time with Austin. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar & Austin Forsyth: Lying About Courtship?

Amy Roloff is feeling blessed at the moment. She’s also feeling sad and sentimental and, above all, reflective. This is what happens when a loved one passes away. Late last month, the Little People, Big World star lost her mother , Patricia. The 86-year old died after having been sick for several months, with Amy saying little about the tragedy when it first took place — but then mourning her openly on Instagram a few days later. And now the TLC personality is once again taking to social media in order to talk about her mother. “Every time I look at this photo I’m reminded how blessed I am,” wrote the mother of four to open a lengthy caption to the photo above, adding: “I have 4 amazing wonderful kids, 3 wonderful daughter-in-laws, one fantastic son-in-law, 2 precious grand kids (2 more on the way now).” (Indeed, Tori Roloff is due to give birth right around Thanksgiving and Tori Roloff is due to give birth in early January.) Amy then went on to explain the circumstances behind the family throwback photo shared at the outset of this article. “I thank the Lord everyday for them,” she wrote, continuing as follows: “And how the Lord put it on my heart last year to encourage my kids, if they could, to take a trip to Michigan with me to see my Mom and Dad , their grandparents, and my family, last summer (2018). “My Dad was turning 90 and my Mom 86. I just knew it was the right time, more than ever before, for them to go and visit them.” Amy, who got engaged just before her mother died , proceeded to give thanks that her extended family was able to spend this time with her parents, writing: “My Mom and Dad got to see my kids, their grandchildren again and to meet their great grand children (Jackson and Ember). My Mom hoped she would get to see her great grandchildren one day and I’m so happy she did!” Amy did mention a few months ago that her mother was ill, but she never specified exactly what was going on. She does so here, however: “Then 9 months later, earlier this year, my mom heart surgery. She wasn’t the same physically, ever since. My Mom passed on Sept 24th.” Just so very sad overall. But at least Amy was able to spend special time with Patricia before she passed away. “I’m going back home, to Michigan, to say good-bye and be with my Dad and my family. But the moments and memories I have of her will be with me for a life time,” continued Amy, updating followers on her status and her whereabouts and adding: “Life is filled with tons of moments – many we may let slip by. Be sure to let what doesn’t really matter slip by more than the many little moments that do/should matter. “Time is but a moment. Make the best of those moments as you can. For you can’t get them back.” Moving many fans to tears, Amy concluded with a message to Patricia. This is what she wrote: Mom I’m going to miss you. I do miss you already. You’re not hurting anymore and You’re with the Lord now and for that I’m grateful. God is good always. Love you Mom . Amy also used the hashtags #lovemymomforever , #familyalways and #faith . We continue to send our condolences to Amy Roloff and all her loved ones. View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed! [Updated]
Early last year, Ann Curry broke her silence on Matt Lauer’s mountain of accusations of sexual misconduct and rape. Recently, the world has learned even more of his alleged misdeeds, including a story of one of his rape victims attempting suicide . A new report says that Ann has heard from other survivors, and that if and when she is ready, she can and will destroy his life all over again. Us Weekly reports that Ann Curry knows more about Matt Lauer than anyone ever realized. “Ann has maintained a dignified silence,” the insider begins. That’s certainly one way of phrasing it. That said, she did say that she reported him for harassment as far back as 2012. The source continues: “but a lot of people confided in her years ago.” “And,” the insider continues. “Still do to this day.” We’ve all read and heard the horror stories of Matt’s ability to lock his door from his desk and of him preying on NBC employees. But apparently, compared to Ann’s knowledge, this may just be the tip of the iceburg. “She knows more than most about the man Matt really is,” the source rveals. “And when she finally speaks out,” the insider predicts. “It will destroy him.” That’s a pleasant image. We’ll talk about why she may be taking her time in a moment. Matt Lauer once had the image of “America’s dad.” That’s how many fans and viewers apparently saw him. Now, the only people who would describe him that way are people with major, negative issues with their own fathers. He is accused of using NBC as his own private game reserve — where his prey was young women too ambitious or too afraid to report his harassment. One incident describes how a woman was summoned to his office to find him with his pants down. According to the allegation, he allegedly chastised that woman for not performing oral sex upon him. She was just trying to do her job. Then, things got worse. We all remember the harrowing story of him having a button installed on his desk so that he could remotely lock his office door. According to one woman, he used that to lock her in with him and then sexually assaulted her. She says that he only stopped when she passed out and fell over. Horrific. Another woman, who later attempted suicide, says that the “sex” he had with her was nonconsensual for two reasons. One, because she was too drunk to consent. Two, because she verbally denied permission for anal sex. We don’t know what more Ann Curry may know about Matt Lauer’s awful misdeeds. But some may wonder why she would wait at all if she knows things on such an important subject. The first explanation may be that these are not her stories to tell. These are the stories of survivors. They’ll share if and when they’re ready. The other is that she may be waiting to see if Matt attempts a comeback. Reports say that he is eager to return to work. It sounds like he may truly believe that he somehow did nothing wrong. Many feel that he got off easy by being fired, and that he belongs in prison with other accused rapists. If he tries for a comeback, maybe Ann will come forward. View Slideshow: Matt Lauer: A Timeline of Terrible Behavior
