Bachelor in Paradise Finale: Are Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton Still Engaged?

Bachelor in Paradise Season 6 is officially in the books. But while the book has been closed on the latest run of this ABC franchise, a brand new chapter has been opened for two couples from the show. We’ve already documented what transpired between Demi Burnett and Kristian Haggerty (SPOILER ALERT: They’re engaged!), and now we’re here with romantic update on another pairing. Let’s delve into  Chris Bukowski and Katie Morton , shall we? On last night’s finale, Chris acknowledged the “hard” road down which he and Katie have gone…  but also praised Morton for all the positive ways in which she’s influenced him. He then said he yearned to make the show’s end the best moment of their lives — so he got down on one knee — as Katie broke down in tears — and proposed. And she said yes! Hooray, right? Viewers first met Chris on season 8 of The Bachelorette , which aired in 2012. He was 25 years old at the time and Emily Maynard eliminated him after their hometown date. After appearing on Bachelor Pad season 3, Chris attempted to crash season 10 of The Bachelorette. It was pretty darn awkward adter Andi Dorfman opted not to let him join the program. He later attempted to find love on seasons 1 and 2 of Bachelor in Paradise before announcing his “retirement.” The guy has been around ABC a lot . Katie, meanwhile, was a contestant on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor just a few months ago; she was sent home during week 6 of season 23. So that brings us up to their present and Tuesday night’s reunion special… Morton sitting opposite Chris Harrison WITHOUT an engagement ring  on her finger. Uh-oh , guys. “We’re still engaged,” she assured viewers on the reunion, explaining in further detail: “I just put in so much effort every day and I love him so much, but I put in so much that my tank empties and if I’m not getting it filled, I break down. “It’s just the whole time at the beach he would tell others that he loves me and the only way I knew Chris loves me is the way he tells everyone else, not the way he shows me. “I love him, but I can’t speak as to how he makes me feel and the things he said and the things he did seemed so different.” That isn’t exactly a glowing endorsement of Bukowski or their relationship. What does this mean for their future? “I fell in love with potential that may never come to fruition, but I’m just praying it does,” Morton said. Again: this doesn’t sound very encouraging. Why doesn’t she just pull the plug on their engagement? “I don’t want to end things,” she said. “I’m just conflicted. I want it to get better but I want him to want it to be better.” Enter Chris, who came out on stage and tried to explain his side of things. “We take things day by day, and I think we do get better every day,” he said. “It’s a rollercoaster. It’s a lot in a short amount of time, and we have a really good understanding of each other. But yeah, it’s definitely rocky.” View Slideshow: The Bachelor Season 24: Meet the Women! Already! Bukowski also admitted to being “slower” with his feelings than Morton, but emphasized that he was on board with trying. “I honestly feel the best when I’m with you,” he told Morton. “My family loves you, my friends love you and I love you. I do and I think there’s so many more better days ahead of us and I want to see those days, I really do.” Bukowski and Morton’s time together during the finale wrapped with them going their separate ways outside of the studio. Translation: They are about to break uo.

The rest is here:

Eric Nichols: Larissa Lima Dumped Me Over INSTAGRAM!

On Wedneday, September 11, Larissa Lima and Eric Nichols broke up after a hot and steamy seven months. But it turns out that the breakup was not mutual. In fact, Eric has revealed that Larissa dumped him … over Instagram. To make matters worse, Eric has now found the perfect way to exact revenge. Eric Nichols (whose name was initially reported as Eric Foster) dated Larissa from early February until early September. Unfortunately, their breakup has not been as amicable as anyone (save those of us who get to write about it) had hoped. Eric has taken to his Instagram to share a screenshot of his travel itinerary from his Colorado trip, saying that it was the catalyst for the split. ‘After posting this to my story,” Eric writes. “She DM’d me via Instagram very upset, accusing me that I didn’t invite her, so on and so forth.” He points out that “she herself had been sharing excitement in her stories over the upcoming Colorado trip for the past couple months.” Larissa had made that clear to fans, he adds, “and was literally talking with one of my brothers about it THE NIGHT BEFORE.” “When I had put my phone down to shower and show my house to a future tenant,” Eric reveals. “I got a call from my mother about an hour later.” He says that his mom called “asking ‘are you doing okay?’ And she said ‘I saw a post from :&@:% on FB that you’re parting ways.'” “I didn’t think much of it,” Eric admits. “And,” he continues, he “said ‘I’m not sure, I haven’t seen it yet, but will soon. We’ll be okay, these arguments happen between us often.'” Eric notes that he thought it was an incident “like when she archives our photos from Instagram when she’s upset.” “Continuing my conversation with mother ‘Debie/Duke’ for another 20-30 minutes,” Eric narrates. He writes that he did so “not realizing when we got off the phone, I’d be going back to my DM’s to find multiple messages from my X.” Eric says that Larissa messaged him “stating a finalized break up on her ‘now’ terms.” “From there,” he writes. “I realized I was blocked and the apology DM’s were already packed.” Hard to make things right if you can’t get in touch with someone. Word to the wise: don’t be impatient. “Here’s the thing….” Eric tells his followers. “Lots of fabrication, secrets, stress, endless arguments, and hoops that turned into spirals.” “But,” he emphasizes. “There were some high level times.” We should hope so. The two were an item for seven months! ‘I don’t wish this girl good luck or bad luck,” Eric promises. “I just wish her a new boyfriend…. or husband,” he expresses. “In the history of an 8 month ordeal I am appreciative of certain outcomes,” Eric writes. He and Larissa both do this thing where they count both the starting month and ending month of a relationship. They dated for seven months. “All in all, I do want to give a big shout out to the haters who are instigator traders that balance out the positives,” he shares. “Lastly,” Eric concludes. “I want to give a monstrous THANK YOU TO ALL supportive friends who follow with love & synergy!” That is very sweet of him. But lately, Eric’s attitude has turned a little less sweet. He has been hanging out with Coltee — Larissa’s other, more infamous ex. Eric even spent time with Debbie and with the slot machine that Larissa so despised. This is a giant middle finger to Larissa if there ever were one. Some believe that Eric and Larissa were getting a reality TV deal that Larissa ruined with the breakup, which might explain his spiteful behavior. But maybe it’s just human nature. It’s hard to fall out of love without some bitterness. This is still a fresh wound.

Jessica Jaymes Dies; Legendary Adult Film Star Was 43

An iconic name in the world of adult entertainment has passed away at a very young age. Jessica Jaymes, the porn star best known for becoming Hustler’s first contract model to become a member of the AVN Hall of Fame, was found dead on Tuesday afternoon. She was 43 years old. TMZ broke this sad piece of news. According to law enforcement sources, a friend went to check on Jaymes yesterday in her San Fernando Valley home because he hadn’t heard from her in a long time. When the friend arrived at her residence, these insiders say the individual found Jessica unconscious. From there, fire and emergency service technicians received a call for cardiac arrest for a female. When they arrived at Jessica’s home, they pronounced the porn star dead at the scene.  The cause of death remains unknown and TMZ reports that the L.A. County Coroner’s Office is investigating It also reports that Jaymes had a history of seizures and that authorities found various prescription drugs on the scene. As for her career? Jaymes started doing soft pornorgraphy in 2002 when she was 26. She then got massive break in 2004 when Hustler signed her to  a contract, debuting for that long-running brand and company a year later with “The Porn Identity,” which is pretty much the perfect X-rated movie title. Jaymes earned Hustler magazine’s “Honey of the Year” award that same year. The  actress went on to appear in well over 200 adult films — and was an active performer more recently in her exclusive content website, as more and more users started to turn off their television sets and turn on their computers to get, well… … turned on. She also earned some mainstream credits, appearing as herself on several episodes of the Showtime series Weeds, for example. Jaymes also had nearly one million Instagram followers and her resume includes stops on The Howard Stern Show, VH1’s Celebrity Rehab Sober House and HBO’s Vivid Valley. Born Jessica Redding in Anchorage, Alaska, the late star attended New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell, New Mexico prior to attending and graduating from Rio Salado Community College. Her father reportedly worked as an undercover DEA agent, which is pretty interesting. Jaymes also spent three years as an elementary school teacher before joining this adult profession. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Kylie Jenner: Did She Just Hint That She Dumped Travis Scott?

Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner appeared on the cover of Playboy . Obviously, as a new mom and the world’s youngest “self-made” billionaire , Kylie could have discussed any number of topics in the interview that accompanied her racy pictorial. And while she touched on subjects like her booming cosmetics line and her love for her young daughter, there was one topic that dominated the discussion: Kylie’s love for Travis Scott — who also snapped some of the pics that appeared in her spread — seemed to be at the forefront of the 22-year-old’s mind. So it was that much more of a shock this week when fans noticed a subtle indication that Kylie and Travis may have called it quits on Jenner’s Instagram page. At first glance, it may seem that there’s nothing out of the ordinary about this selfie Kylie posed for in her walk-in closet. After all, Kylie posts selfies like it’s her job — which, in a sense, it is. But eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice that Kylizzle had made a minor change chat could have major implications. If you look at the dresser behind Kylie, you’ll see that it’s completely bare on top. Now, compare it to this photo that was snapped in the same spot just 6 weeks ago: That’s a framed photo of Kylie and Travis that seems to have disappeared. And that was no temporary piece of decor, either. The photo appeared in the background of a number of selfies, stretching back for several months. And the fact that it’s mysteriously disappeared has fans thinking Kylie is trying to send a subtle message to the public. Also raising eyebrows is Kylie’s caption for the pic, which reads, “Ain’t a game, boy.” One of Kylie’s best friends, Yris Palmer, further stirred the pot by commenting, “Made for one player.” Now, Kylie and Travis breakup rumors seem to surface at the rate of about one per month. The couple’s most severe rough patch occurred when Travis was allegedly caught cheating while on tour earlier this year. But it certainly wasn’t the last time that these two appeared to be on the verge of calling it quits. So is this just another case of the rumor mill running amok, or is there really trouble in paradise? It may be quite some time before we know for sure. But one thing is for certain — an obsessive fan spoke for all of us when she commented, “Kylie what the hell is happening?!?!” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Playboy Cover: Revealed, Very Busty!

Ireland Baldwin wearing pants that hug her like her daddy never did…. I’m sure Alec, post Comedy Roast no one watched or cared to watch, is very proud of this sea creature he created, which is why he has blocked her number, lives across the country, and keeps knocking up his Yoga Instructor to make-up for the disappointmnent he made with Bassigner…. It’s like the 1800s, when families would have a dozen kids in hope that 2-3 survive into adulthood..only the rich celeb version where instead of dying they are exiled to Malibu, where they are in and out of rehab, paid off with a solid allowance that allows for shitty prison tattoos… The funny thing about her, besides her sheer SIZE is that she could have been an actual influencer. She had the tits, she wasn’t fat, she did the beach thing when it was easy clickbait…but she self destructed and this is what we’re left with….which I guess is about 60 pounds too more than we need.

Asian-Owned D.C. Bar Accused Of Calling Woman ‘Black’ And ‘Ugly’

See the original post:

Source: Tetra Images / Getty A D.C. bar is under fire after a woman says she experienced “racist, sexist, colorist epithets” while visiting as a customer. Pierrea Naketa detailed the incident in a Medium article and explained that she visited Copycat Co. in the H Street neighborhood after leaving a silent dance party in the same area. At first, Naketa says she and her friend were having a good time but right when they were about to leave, the two witnessed a major disturbance at the bar area. Naketa says a male bartender “with deep brown skin” had “aggressively approached two black women sitting at the bar and snatched their plate of food.” Then, Naketa says he yelled to one of the women who was dark-skinned, saying “This bit** gotta go!” “Bit**? Why am I bit**,” Naketa says the woman responded. This is when Naketa says the bartender escalated things and went into a tirade screaming multiple times “YOU BLACK AND YOU UGLY BIT**! YOU BLACK AS F*** AND YOU UGLY!” Naketa noted that the dark-skinned lady’s friend had a lighter complexion. According to Naketa, the bartender was mad about another incident that happened the last time the dark-skinned woman was there. He argued that she was banned from CopyCat. Naketa explains, “the woman stated someone she was with got into an altercation with the bartender and they left, but she seemed to genuinely not know she was not welcomed to return.” As a matter of fact, Naketa said the woman and her friend were buying drinks and food with no interruption up until the bartender’s confrontation. Not too long after the bartender began his alleged tirade, Naketa says a short Asian man, who she assumed was the manager, came out and calmly told the dark-skinned woman she had to leave. Naketa then says, “After being humiliated in front of a packed room, she left with more grace than many I know would have. She obliged the request while noting to the manager, ‘Do you hear him calling me black and ugly? Is that okay?’” Once the woman left, Naketa says she felt obligated to talk to the manager: “I explained to him that while I do not know what happened before, and Copycat may have had good cause to want the woman to leave, the way she was asked to leave was disturbing. I asked him if he would be addressing the colorist rant with the bartender.” That’s when Naketa says the man said, “What? Do you want me to fire him?” He then tried to explain that the bartender was Black too. Naketa responded to the presumed manager in her article, saying, “that the bartender’s race is irrelevant and that his employee had screamed colorist remarks in front of a room full of people. I told him that my friends and I were uncomfortable and offended.” Naketa argues that the presumed manger didn’t take her concerns seriously and as she began to respond, “a young Black man who worked in the kitchen appeared from around the corner with a ladle in hand.” Naketa says he wrongfully assumed that Naketa was the woman who had been kicked out. Naketa says that he yelled, “Man quit talking to these bit**es! You been talking to these bit**es for 10 minutes! Kick the bit** out!’” After Naketa’s masculine partner came over and corrected the cook, Naketa says he apologized. However, when she asked for the presumed manager’s name, he replied, “I’m not giving you my name.” Naketa argues that if she hadn’t been a dark-skinned Black woman, “my complaint would have been taken seriously.” The next day, when Naketa Googled the restaurant, she realized that the man she was addressing who she thought was the manager was actually one of the owners of the restaurant Devin Gong. According to Thrillist , Gong is the owner of CopyCat Co., which “combines craft cocktails with Northern Chinese bites like pot stickers, skewers, and bao buns.” He just opened another restaurant called Astoria in the Dupont Circle area of Washington, D.C., according to Eater . Since Naketa has shared her story on Medium , some folks across social media have supported her situation, saying they will never go to CopyCat Co. again.   Naketa describes herself as a “Black lesbian, law school grad, organizer, writer” and “Founder and President of Play In the Sun , an anti-colorism organization.” The woman who she says was kicked out has yet to make a public statement about the alleged incident. NewsOne reached out to Devin Gong with no response. Naketa urged people to share her story, writing, “I hope that I will find this woman.”
