Nearly half of all married couples in the United States divorce in this day and age, so when Amber Robinson provided her followers with a visual reminder that true love still exists, it was duly needed. Amber’s parents, Mr . and Mrs. Brewington , have been together for 47 years, fought two bouts of cancer together, and appear more in love than any couple we’ve ever seen. Amber captioned the photo of her mom and dad in part, “If you are one of the millions in love, or maybe one of the millions of broken-hearted that need a visual reminder that love always endures, I would love for you to share this as a way of letting my mom and dad know, they are an inspiration to anyone who wants, believes, or is in love.” Check out the sweet photo, that has since gone viral, just above and tweet us your thoughts.

This question is almost impossible to answer without a DeLorean time machine , but here is what we know thus far. RELATED: Why Is Atlanta A Great Place To Live?

The forecast also suggests “below-normal” temperatures, as well as unseasonable chilling which could even reach reaching Gulf Coast. Atlanta is also likely to see above average precipitation. That mixed with below average temperature could mean snow for the Atlanta Metro Area. RELATED: Why Does Atlanta Call The Police 12?

We all make mistakes. Most of us don’t have our mistakes broadcast on international television. But the whole world saw Rachel Lindsay choose Bryan Abasolo . They’re still together though, and Rachel’s talking about wedding plans. But … it sounds like she might just elope. Speaking to Us Weekly , Rachel Lindsay gushed about her engagement to Bryan Abasolo and how eager she is to tie the knot. “I’m ready to be married.” Well, it would have been weird for her to go on The Bachelor and then star on The Bachelorette otherwise. “I keep saying winter wedding, which more so with the process of everything is what it’s looking like, but honestly I could elope with Bryan tomorrow.” A winter wedding sounds lovely, right? Elopement sounds … well, it probably sounds a lot easier. And apparently Rachel’s mother agrees. “And it’s so funny because my mom texted me the other day and she goes, ‘Secretly I would love for you to just elope.’” It’s hard to tell if her mother really wants that or if she’s just fatigued at the idea of this huge, expensive wedding. “The family loves him,” Rachel claims. That sounds a little different from what we saw on Hometown Dates, but … okay. “I want good music, good vibes, a lot of family and friends around, and I just want it to be a big reunion, that I know.” That sounds like what most people want for their weddings. “Someone said the other day, ‘What about having the wedding in Colombia?’ and actually that’s a thought that we’re thinking about right now.” What would be the point of a winter wedding if it’s in Columbia? But she’s a Texas girl, and perhaps doesn’t enjoy the cold. “That’s the first time I’ve said that out loud!” Usually , you want your fiance or at least your wedding planner to be the person you tell, not Carly from Us Weekly . No offense to Carly. Rachel Lindsay talks about her friends that she made within the Bachelor Nation. “They’re with me everywhere.” Awww, that’s sweet to imagine. “I’m stuck with them for life.” That … well, we’re sure that she’s joking. She goes on to gush about what it’s like to be engaged to Bryan Abasolo. “Bryan’s romantic every day.” He promised her a fairytale romance, and it sounds like he’s delivering. “He’s always giving me massages, he’s always catering to my needs to the point where I’m like, ‘Hold on. Let me do something for you.’” That sounds like it might be bordering on TMI, but it also sounds very pleasant. “Bryan’s just very sweet. Whenever I need something he’s very attentive to it, so I would say he’s romantic every single day.” She also talks about their disagreements when it comes to children: “I want four kids. Bryan wants three, but he also says it depends on how many we can afford.” We never imagined that we’d say this, but … we’re team Bryan Abasolo. “See, this is what I mean about Bryan, he’s so practical. I’m just like, ‘Give me all the babies. If we can’t have them, we’re adopting.’ So we’ll see.” Let’s see if she still wants four after a few months of infant-induced sleep deprivation. Rachel talks about some more immediate plans that she and Bryan have. “We’re spending Christmas with his family.” Bryan Abasolo has gushed in the past about how much his grandma loves Rachel Lindsay . “We’re gonna be two weeks in Miami. He spent Thanksgiving with my family, so it’s all been so seamless in how it’s all come together.” Well, if you like wasting part of winter in warm climates where the weather takes “winter” as a mere suggestion, Miami sounds lovely. Just not as lovely as Peter Kraus . View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Fans to Rachel Lindsay: Do NOT PICK Bryan Abasolo!
Prince William is typically known for one of two things: 1. His dashing good looks. 2. His beautiful and pretty much perfect wife. The Royal hunk isn’t normally applauded for his sense of humor, although that may need to change in the wake to his latest response to Prince Harry’s engagement. Yes, in case you somehow missed it, Prince Harry is now engaged to Meghan Markle . The couple made the news official this week via a statement, a joint photo shoot and an adorable joint interview. When the announcement was initially made, William and Kate Middleton issued a formal response through Kensington Palace that read as follows: “We are very excited for Harry and Meghan. It has been wonderful getting to know Meghan and to see how happy she and Harry are together.” Short. Simple. Undoubtedly truthful. For also…. boooooring! On the first day of his visit to Finland on Wednesday, however, William was asked by reporters about this exciting piece of family news… … and he responded in a far funnier manner. “We’re very excited, delighted for them both. We’re wishing them all the happiness in this very exciting time,” he said, adding: “Personally, I hope it means he stays out of my fridge and will stop scrounging my food, which he’s done for the last few years!” HA! There you go. There’s a sign of humanity from the often-buttoned-up Royal family member. During a special briefing at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, officials revealed that the Harry and Markle will get married May of next year at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle. No exact date has been announced yet. But Middleton is due to give birth to her and William’s third child in April, meaning Great Britain may very well explode in happiness next spring. We’ll need to keep a close eye on our dear allies. Markle, meanwhile, has given up her acting career and will be living in London full-time. We’re sure Middleton has talked to her and will continue to talk to her about the overwhelming changes she’s about to encounter over the following days, weeks, months and years. Thankfully, Markle has the ideal role model to assist her along the way, as no one could have handled these sorts of changes as well as Middleton has since she married William. Markle, however, already seems up to the task. Asked about the harassment she’s received due to her mixed heritage, the now-former actress took a high road in her interview on Monday with Harry . :At the end of the day I am proud of who I am and where I have come from and we have never put any focus on that,” she said. “We have just focused on who we are as a couple.” And who they are as a couple, as you can see below, is two very happy and very in love individuals!

Riverdale is one of the most visually stunning shows around and Riverdale Season 2 Episode 7 amped that up to another level by changing up the way the story was told. It resulted in one of the most engaging episodes of this sophomore sensation yet and set the wheels in motion for a killer midseason finale. Watch Riverdale Season 2 Episode 7 Online The Black Hood killer said that he had cleansed the town and if there were no more sinners, he would stop his reign of terror. Let’s run down what happened for all of the characters Jughead Pays Back a Debt Remember when Penny Peabody said that Jughead would have to return the favor to her for helping his father? Well, she gave him a call to do a job for her, and it involved transporting drugs from Riverdale to Greendale. The villainous lawyer revealed that the Ghoulies roughed up FP in prison because of the person who made the phone call. If you watch Riverdale online, you will know that Archie was the one who called the cops. Jughead brought Archie in on the plan because he was instrumental in his father getting attacked. Archie borrowed Fred’s truck, and the two boys picked up the “pancake mix” and kicked off their mission. The scary thing was that the crate with all the drugs was huge and it was evident what they were doing from the get-go. All seemed to be going well … until the tire on the truck gave way. With no spare, they wondered who they could call for assistance, and they both agreed that bringing Betty and Veronica into it would be a bad idea. Here’s the thing that sucks with Archie: He did not worry about getting V to retrieve a gun from the school for him. The kid is filled with bad decisions to the point that it’s difficult to look at him as the main character. He’s like the dull side character who wants to be front and center. Before they could call Kevin, a creepy old man appeared in a truck that may or may not have had a dead body in the back. He said he had room for one of them and took Jughead’s final $18. Archie was left to wait for AAA to come and fix the tire while Jughead got into the truck with the creepy man, and it was evident he had made a mistake. The man told Jug about someone called the Reaper who got rid of all the villains in the past. Jughead could not help but take a look under the tarp and found a dead animal. The man then forced Jug to go to the diner with him, and then the deluded old being tried to take off with the crate, saying that the town deserved all the bad stuff coming to it. Archie appeared in the nick of time, and the boys completed their journey to Greendale. But the drug dealers made it clear it would be the first of many deliveries from Jug. Penny threatened Jughead with footage of him and Archie, saying that it was time she got revenge on his father for not keeping a promise to her from back in the day. This is going to be interesting! Josie vs. The Secret Admirer We picked up with Josie in the school in the dead of night. She was practicing without her band members. This was because Cheryl took her under her wing and said that she knew someone who could help her, but she would need to be a solo act. Josie did not want the others to find out, so she kept it quiet. Her mother was mad that she was staying out later and revealed she wanted her home earlier because the killer was threatening both of them. Josie had a secret admirer at the school, and the person kept putting things in her locker. It all came to a head when a Pig’s heart was delivered to her along with a drawing of the singer with the message “If I can’t have you, nobody can.” Cheryl and Josie immediately blamed Reggie, and he was sent to Weatherbee’s office, but Keller later told Mayor McCoy that there was no evidence to suggest it was him. We then got to witness Cheryl drawing a picture the same way as the drawing of Josie. Are we to assume Cheryl is orchestrating this to make friends with the pussycat? If so, she needs help. Betty and Veronica Track a Suspect Betty was ready to track the killer, but she could not shake the feeling that Sheriff Keller was part of the whole thing. Kevin had opened up about Keller going out in the dead of night and not returning until the wee hours. Veronica tried to get Kevin back to being great again and did some digging when she had a sleepover with him. Keller was working out in the middle of the night, and they had an awkward chat. Keller let Betty see all of his files on the killer, but she crossed the line by hitting up his office and breaking into the evidence. Keller realized Betty wanted to find out the truth and something tells me he knows the department is struggling. Later, Betty and Veronica followed the cop and found him having sex with Mayor McCoy in a seedy motel. So, he’s not the killer; he’s just boning the Mayor! Sinners Continue Sinning The big finish found the killer calling the diner to let everyone know that the town is still sinning and that he will continue killing everyone. So, there’s no end in sight.

Source: Elsa / Getty They say the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree — and in Lonzo Ball ‘s case, the saying couldn’t be anymore accurate. Everyone knows how passionate former NBA star LaVar Ball is about basketball and his sons Lonzo and LaMelo , but since Lonzo is a young star, we never get to hear how much like his dad he really is. That’s what Twitter is for — it shows you people’s innermost intentions without ever having to hear a word from them. You can usually hear the braggadocious-ness in LaVar Ball’s voice, but with Lonzo, the boastfulness just oozes from his tweets. Don’t believe it us, see for yourself when you hit the flip.

This might be the most random feud that we’ve ever seen. But it’s 2017 and nothing makes sense anymore. The horrific shooting Las Vegas that left nearly 60 people dead and more than 500 injured has engendered a lot of conversations about gun control, public safety, and terrorism. But it’s also prompted this weird feud. This is not the time, guys. Dakota Meyer has military experience, but his role in the armed forces isn’t why he’s famous. He’s the husband to Bristol Palin, which makes him Sarah Palin’s son-in-law. (Seriously … he wasn’t born into the Palin clan — he willingly married into it. Can you imagine ?!) And then there’s Dan Bilzerian. The professional poker player got rich by gambling and now he shows off his wealth by, well, owning a lot of guns, parading a lot of hot women around him in various states of undress, and being an internet personality. Basically, Bilzerian is cashing in on hypermasculine fantasies by living out the dreams of your average male failure and, therefore, earning their respect and admiration. (Well … at least he appears to live it out. It might be a bit much to suggest that Bilzerian actually has sex with every hot model featured in his very staged-looking photos) Bilzerian also makes a habit of making anti-feminist statements, associating with truly terrible people like Floyd Mayweather, and generally coming across as a huge douche. You’d think that, as different as their lifestyles might be, politics alone would put Dan Bilzerian and Dakota Meyer on the same side. But not this time. Dan Bilzerian filmed the mass shooting in Las Vegas . Or, at least, what he experienced of it. In the (very upsetting — there are no “good” videos from that event) video, Dan describes his experience as he flees the massacre. “A girl just got shot in the head. This is so crazy.” Horrific. Dan claims that he is headed to retrieve one of his guns, which would be almost comical if this weren’t such a serious subject. “Had to go grab a gun. I’m f—ing heading back. [Expletive] it’s so crazy — some kind of mass shooting. [Explective] guy had a heavy caliber weapon for sure. Saw some girl f—ing get shot in the face right next to me, her brains f—ing hanging out. Stupid-a– me didn’t bring a gun.” The self-proclaimed King of Instagram then updated his followers. “They got one of the guys. I’m headed back. I don’t think there’s much I can do.” There was never anything that Dan could do, of course. Even if he were as badass as he’d like his followers to believe. The shooter was in a hotel room. Did Dan intend to just start shooting into windows of the Mandalay Bay? There’s a lot to criticize there. Care to see what struck a nerve with Dakota Meyer? Meyer took to Instagram to vent his frustration with the man. “This is why children shouldn’t classify heroes by their followers or their photos. @danbilzerian this is what kills me about people like you. Always playing ‘operator dress up’ and so so tough when the cameras are on.” That is fair. Dan got rich gambling and it’s not inaccurate to describe so much of what Dan does as playing dress-up. Having a sizable gun collection is a sign of all sorts of issues and insecurities, but it’s not an indication of military prowess. “A woman just got shot in the head and you are running away filming that’s not what operators do. Please stop trying to be someone your not. People are dying, you’re running away not helping them and pretending it’s worthy of a video is disgusting.” We do have an issue with that last bit. In that … most people absolutely should run away from a shooting in most situations. Staying in the area will just make you another person for law enforcement to need to protect. Even if you die, law enforcement will need to determine that you’re dead or they will very likely want to treat you as an injured person who is in danger of being shot again or injured in a crossfire. But Dan Bilzerian’s brand means that he has to pretend, to his followers, to be a brave, manly hero or he’ll majorly lose face with them. His lame excuses in the video are fairly self-evident. The fact that he felt a need to broadcast them at all is, honestly, a little sad. So we are, against our will, forced to agree with Dakota Meyer, here. Mostly.

How did 45 decide to greet a small group of Puerto Ricans in need? He gave away paper towels. Oh yea, and he didn’t just hand it to them like a normal human being — he had to show off his jump shot by throwing it to them. You can check out the clip for yourself below.
