The former “Love & Hip Hop” star posted a picture of herself trying on wedding dresses this week with Beverly Hills designers Ryan Patros & Walter Mendez. On her story, she also tried on several other gowns and teased that she was having one made. The pictures apparently left Safaree “speechless”—but not speechless enough to repost the picture and write a “ STRAAAAAIT smitten” caption about his bride-to-be. “I would say I Can’t believe it but I prayed for this and God always answers my prayers,” wrote Safaree. “Can’t wait to see what dress you pick but i know i have to wait. I know our wedding is going to be big and extra as hell but if it was just me you & our families I’d be good with that.” Somebody is straaaaaait smitten! As previously reported the couple’s reportedly received huge 6-figure offers to live stream their impending nuptials but haven’t signed a deal—yet. There’s also speculation that there could be a VH1 wedding special brewing. What do YOU think about Safaree and Erica Mena prepping for their wedding???
Some sweet rap romance… Juelz Santana And Kimbella’s Wedding Photos Two became one this weekend in the Santana household. As previously reported Juelz Santana and Kimbella made things official Thursday in an elaborate wedding ceremony that was attended by family and friends. Now the couple’s released pics from the momentous occasion that was attended by the likes of Mona Scott-Young, Remy and Papoose, and Kimbella’s bestie Lil Kim. Cam’ron was in attendance as well as Jim Jones who seemingly came without his longtime love Chrissy who beat the brakes off Kimbella eons ago on LHHNY. Kimbella’s bridesmaids were Cyn Santana, JuJu and surprisingly Yandy Smith who Kimbella apparently made amends with. Kuimbella wore a Leah De Gloria gown for the occasion and the couple had their first dance to “Perfect Duet” by Ed Sheeran and Beyonce. Wow—what a beautiful wedding! Do YOU think “Love & Hip Hop” cameras were rolling for it??? More of the happily married Santanas on the flip. Continue reading →
We’ve seen plenty of unusual/offensive/hilarious/ridiculous wedding invitations or requests over the years. Such as the list of outrageous demands made by this bridezilla to her attendees. But have you ever heard of a save-the-date that didn’t actually list any date to be saved? But DID warn potential wedding-goers about how expensive the trip would be and outlined all the reasons why they may not want to check yes ? Neither had we. Until now… An unidentified woman from Australia has gone viral after her two-page Save-the-Date was shared on Facebook. As you can see below, this announcement doesn’t actually tell loved ones when her wedding will take place. Or where it will take place, not specifically at least. Instead, it is comprised of a bizarre list of requirements titled “Things To Keep In Mind Before You Say Yes.” Let’s go over the passages that have been scrutinized and mocked the most by folks on the Internet, shall we? FIRST, the bride notes that she hasn’t yet picked a venue; she only knows that it will be held “in an Asian country,” possibly the Philippines, Thailand or Vietnam. SECOND, she writes “you will need at least two weeks off…one week is [too] short for how long the flights are.” She writes this despite also saying that the festivites themselves will only take “2-3 days.” THIRD, the bride feels a need to explain how money and vacations work, telling her friends and relatives: You will need approximately $4,000 to $5,000 or more if you desire; that includes hotels, food, drink, daily adventures, scooter rentals. Just good to have safe buffer money. You will not spend all of this…all depends on what kind of holiday you want. FOURTH, the woman makes a point to tell the invitees they should “think this all over” before RSVPing, but that they will “really love it over there.” Of course, it’s not clear where there actually is, considering, once again, there aren’t any actual details included on the Save-the-Date. This, along with the weird details that are included, prompted Facebook users to react in horror, shock and disgust over the viral message. “I think this is an invitation to be murdered,” one person quipped. “These people really do not want anyone at their wedding,” another person commented. “She might not even need a venue after those ‘save the dates’, as it might just be her and the hubby,” another agreed. “Has anyone started counting the grammar/spelling mistakes?” one individual wondered. We’re sure the bride would just say she wanted to make sure everyone understood what he or she was getting into. She would likely argue that she was trying not to pressure anyone into coming on such an endeavor; that she wrote all this for their sake. But it still comes across as really strange, condescending and aggressive. “We hope to give you at least 9 months in advance, so if you want to attend, start saving your pennies now!” she added. “Once we receive everyone’s save-the-dates back and know how many people are willing to make the long journey to attend, we will begin finding a venue and send out the invitations.” As one generous reader pointed out, this wasn’t an awful idea in theory. The questions should have been asked far less formally, however, long before any Save-the-Date was actually sent out. Because in execution? Holy terribleness, right?

You probably heard the rumors that Meghan Markle is difficult to work with . Supposedly she’s turning the entire royal family upside down due to her demands. Meghan Markle is reportedly not too happy with the press. There are also numerous reports that she doesn’t get along with Kate Middleton. Meghan is not happy with the slew of negative reports about her diva behavior. It doesn’t help the fact that Meghan is pregnant with her first child . She’s going to feel emotional during this time in her life. Prince Harry appears alongside Meghan Markle. He feels responsible for her misery. It’s supposed to be the happiest moments in her life but she can’t even feel that way. Her husband Prince Harry can’t help but feel sorry that Meghan feels so miserable. He kind of feels responsible for her misery, according to Us Weekly. You could call it sympathy pains. Meghan is tired of the public criticism she’s been getting over her wardrobe and diva attitude. Meghan Markle made a sacrifice to move away from her family. But she knew what she was getting herself into. Even Vanity Fair, a prominent fashion publication, painted her as a social climber in their September issue. Meghan is aware that she made a “huge sacrifice” marrying into the royal family. This experience wasn’t what she expected, which is why her husband feels responsible for her sadness. Prince Harry has been tempted to lash out against the media for spreading lies about his wife. Meghan Markle wants to face the backlash head on. Prince Harry objects her decision. She has told him not to since it goes against Buckingham Palace’s code of conduct. Ever since the couple married in May, Meghan has been hit with a slew of negative stories from the press. The reports have accused her of acting like an entitled brat and for feuding with her sister-in-law Duchess Kate. Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle are pictured talking. But is it all for show? Meghan has a lot going on as it is. Not only did she get married, but she got pregnant so soon after getting married. Now, she has to deal with the “public backlash” along with her own family drama. This has caused Meghan a lot of stress. Though she was a Hollywood actress, she’s never experienced this amount of negative criticism before. Back in September, Meghan wanted to “speak out” about her father, Thomas Markle, and half-sister, Samantha Markle, but she decided not to. Meghan Markle is happy to be a style icon and nothing more. Or, maybe it’s because Buckingham Palace told her not to go there. They don’t want to bring any more attention to themselves since they already have with this wedding. But Meghan is used to responding to negative stories on social media or through a publicist. She’s still having a hard time adjusting to this new life. Meghan is expected to give birth in the springtime. Hopefully, the constant demands and pressures of being in the royal family won’t cause any problems with her pregnancy. Meghan Markle Has Become a “Fire-Breathing Dragon” Who Everyone Hates [Report]
By now, you’ve likely heard about Meghan Markle’s awful family . If you’ve somehow remained blissfully unaware of these shifty-eyed grifters, allow us to fill you in and squash any optimism you may have been harboring about the nature of humanity. Basically, Samantha Markle is doing her best to ruin Meghan’s life, and she’s recruited her brother and father to assist in the effort. It’s anyone’s guess as to why Samantha has decided to dedicate her waking hours to humiliating Meghan . We know she’s desperate for money and attention, and a few trashy outlets have paid her for interviews. But it often seems that there’s more than just simple greed at work here. Samantha really seems to be the sort of wicked royal semi-sibling we thought only existed in fairy tales. Fortunately, it seems that Meg’s half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. is motivated by slightly less sinister forces. He really just wanted to cash in on his sister’s fame (which is why he wrote an open letter to Prince Harry begging him not to marry Meghan), and it seems that now that he’s realized that’s never gonna happen, he’s trying to bury the hatchet. Thomas is set to marry fiancee Darlene Blount in March, and he’s made it clear that he’d like Meghan and Prince Harry to be guests of honor at the wedding. “‘Absolutely I think our wedding will bring the family closer together. It’s hopeful that if Meghan and Harry came and my father,” Thomas recently told The Daily Mail. “Meghan and Harry could spend some time together with him and that would be good.” Thomas says when he first informed Darlene that his sister was dating Prince Harry, she was understandably skeptical: “I remember that very well — Meghan and Harry had just started dating and I mentioned it to her and she looked at me like, ‘Yeah, who is this guy? Whatever! He’s crazy,'” he recalls. “But it turned out really nice and we’ve had a really good time ever since. [We’ve had] ups and downs but we’ve managed to make it so far.” “I thought he was completely crazy,” Darlene says of Thomas’ revelation. You still might not be wrong on that one, Darlene. Thomas Sr., meanwhile, says he has no intention of relenting in his obnoxious stalker-like efforts to form a relationship with his sister (something he showed zero interest in during the first 35 years of her life). “I’ll keep talking and I’ll probably get louder. Meghan and Harry’s silence empowers all the crazy tweets and insults against me and my family,” he said in a recent interview. “I’ve been quiet long enough. If they ever want to speak to me, maybe I’ll quieten down a little bit. But in the meantime, I’m not going to become a monk in a monastery and take a vow of silence.” In other Meghan news, it seems Snoop Dogg wants to smoke weed with the Duchess . They should probably wait until after Meghan gives birth in spring, but given the increasingly batsh-t behavior of her family, a Dutch for the Duchess. is definitely in order.

Duggar fans and baby enthusiasts alike cannot get enough sweet pics of baby Felicity Vuolo . Fortunately, neither Jinger nor Jeremy seem to be getting tired of taking or sharing snaps of this little cutie. In their latest photo, as you’ll see below, Felicity’s eyes are so blue that you’d swear the pic had been photoshopped. “Baby’s got blue eyes,” Jeremy Vuolo captioned this close-up of his adorable daugther. Felicity Vuolo is just about a week away from turning six months old. Her face is already alert and her eyes fixate on what she recognizes — like her parents, and cameras. This is great, because Felicity’s eyes are a deep and intense blue. We don’t know whether to call them blue like sapphires or blue like blueberries . Both? Both. Takea look for yourself and be totally captivated by her sweet stare: Felicity is precious, and fans were quick to comment. “She is so flipping cute,” exclaimed one follower. Another fan announced: “What beautiful eyes she has!!” “Little Miss Vuolo is quite simply gorgeous and with that stunning color blue eyes,” commented anohter. “I think that’s how they will stay.” Many children are born with blue or gray eyes that change color to something else during infancy. This person believes that Felicity’s eyes will remain this deep, intense blue. That same commenter continued: “Just love your family and the photos you share.” The compliments kept pouring in. “I found another person who would love to buy a doll that looks like Felicity,” wrote a fan. “She is adorable with her big blue eyes and smile.” Okay, that is both flattering and a little creepy. “She is beautiful!” exclaimed another follower. “You 2 make pretty babies! Enjoy this because time will fly.” It really will. “Very cool,” affirmed another commenter. “Hope they stay blue…btw, love that song!” The song to which that person refers is an Elton John song, titled: “Baby’s Got Blue Eyes.” A few fans were a little stunned to see Jeremy refer to his daughter with a song by one of the most famous gay people on the planet. “I … was so confused how he could be an Elton John fan,” confessed a follower. Jeremy has been outspoken with his anti-gay views. He has condemned his own in-laws, the Duggars, for (mostly) keeping quiet about their anti-gay stance. In 2017, Jeremy came under fire for preaching against fellow Christians who are accepting of the LGBTQ community. “All you have to do is look at the sexual revolution pressuring them,” Jeremy said at the time. “And they cave in to a worldview that rejects God’s truth and embraces popular opinion,” Jeremy claimed. “Look at the revolution of popular thought,” he insisted at the time. “Look at the postmodernism of today’s culture,” Jeremy continued. “Look at the sexual revolution.” “Look at the false idea of tolerance,” he instructed. “Look at the false definition of love.” The message was that he sees fellow Christians accepting fellow human beings for existing as they are, and he sees that as a failing on their part. He also condemned fellow pastors for even considering officiating same-sex marriages. It seems that he believes that God’s love is reserved for straight people. We somehow doubt that Jeremy’s line about baby Felicity’s eyes was supposed to be an endorsement of Elton John. Instead, he was just referring to a song, not accepting a massive community of fellow human beings. Before you accuse Jeremy of hypocrisy, consider how few of us agree with the Duggar family about … anything. Jeremy may listen to Elton John while rejecting Elton’s humanity. But how many people watch Counting On without supporting the Duggars and their fertility cult? At any rate, let’s put our differences aside and just admire how cute Felicity is.

Snoop Dogg and Meghan Markle might never enjoy Thanksgiving dinner together, but it looks as though Snoop desperately wants to join her in one of that holiday’s proudest traditions. We’re talking of course, about getting high on her nephew’s pot. Allow us to explain: As you may have heard, Meghan’s nephew, Tyler Dooley, lists his profession as “cannabis farmer.” This works out well for a number of reasons. For one thing, “Tyler Dooley” sounds like the name of a weed dealer played by Seth Rogen in a ’90s high school comedy. More importantly, Tyler is reportedly making a killing marketing his hilariously-named “Markle Sparkle” strain in states with legal weed. And he may soon land an endorsement from the Michael Jordan of stoners. According to Radar Online, Snoop D-O-double-G is very eager to sample Tyler’s wares. One insider tells the site that the rap legend “can’t wait to get stuck into a blunt filled with Meghan weed.” Either the phrase “stuck into a blunt” is some extremely white source’s hilarious attempt at sounding cool, or we’re just painfully out of touch. Both scenarios are equally plausible. Apparently, Snoop’s been a fan of the Duchess ever since he learned that she offered weed to her wedding guests when she married Trevor Engelson in Jamaica in 2011. And on top of that, it seems dude is just a fan of the Windsor clan in general. “Snoop has always been mad on two things: weed and the royals. So Markle Sparkle combines two of his favorite things,” says the source. “He’s asked his local cannabis dispensary on Hollywood to order him some Markle Sparkle and wants to visit Tyler’s cannabis farm when he’s in Oregon for a smoke,” the insider adds. “He’s even willing to review the weed for Tyler’s website and promote it if it means he can get a free supply.” Of course, Meg has probably chilled on her partying since becoming a royal, but Snoop’s dream of smoking a Dutch with the Duchess continues to burn bright. “One of his biggest fantasies is to smoke up with Meghan herself and tells pals he’s delighted a ‘weed-loving’ gal has joined the ranks of the royals,” says the source. We’re sure that one will have to wait until after Meghan gives birth this spring. But interestingly, it seems Meg’s not the only female member of the Royal Family to catch Snoop’s eye in recent months. The rapper recently revealed that he hopes to one day cook dinner for Queen Elizabeth II. “As this is The Queen we’re talking about, the only thing that will be going inside these brownies will be chocolate,” he joked at the time. “I don’t want to get banned from the UK again!” Don’t sell QE2 short, Snoop. She’s 92 and probably up for anything — including burning one down with you and Martha Stewart. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle vs. Kate Middleton Feud: Tearing William and Harry Apart?!

90 Day Fiance fans can expect to see a lot of drama on the show's Tell All special, beginning this Sunday. As you can see in the video that we have included, Jay Smith's cheating scandal is a topic of interest. While trying to explain it away, Jay utters what may be the funniest line to ever air on this franchise. Watch it for yourself: Ashley caught Jay FaceTiming another woman just days after their wedding, and learned that he had downloaded Tinder right after the nuptials. At the beginning of this sneak peek clip, Fernanda Flores asks her castmate Jay what the actual hell he was thinking. “It was just a mistake,” Jay protests. It would have to be a series of coincidences worthy of Final Destination for Jay to accidentally cheat on Ashley. Still, Jay insists: “I wasn't going to have no one come over to the house.” Fernanda points out: “You'd just married the person whom you're supposed to love.” “Right,” Ashley chimes in. “So what happens when you're at your ‘seven-year itch,' when you're having trouble. Then what do you do?” Cheat, most likely. Most don't cheat during the honeymoon phase, however. Jay is rare in that regard. “If this is what you do three days after you got married, what do you do when you actually are having troubles in your marriage?” Ashley asks. “Because as far as I was concerned,” Ashley states. “We weren't having any issues.” If Jay were to say that he was trying to sabotage his relationship because he'd gotten cold feet … it would be something. It souldn't be an excuse, but it would at least have been an explanation. Jay instead continues to act as if he made a simple mistake, like forgetting a birthday. “It was just a misunderstanding,” Jay insists. Right. From what Jay says here, it sounds like he was perfectly happy with Ashley. “And I wish I could go back and fix it,” he expresses. “I would do any f–king thing just to fix it,” Jay claims. Ashley is, understandably, not feeling sympathetic. “You f—ked up. Take it on the chin. Simple,” Ashley says. She concludes: “Just don't even try to defend yourself because you sound like an idiot.” Jay then tries to blame Ashley spending time on her phone, and laments that he hadn't realized that women would be sending him irresistible messages. Unbelievably, Jay still isn't done trying to defend himself. In the process, he utters one of 90 Day Fiance 's funniest lines, ever. “Listen,” Jay insists. “It said, ‘Tinder, meet friends.'” That is . . . objectively funny, though we absolutely understand why Ashley was less entertained. Jay continues: “I never knew that people were going to message me.” Ashley doesn't have time for that. “You're full of s–t,” Ashley tells him. “You knew exactly what Tinder was.” We are very much inclined to agree. Not only is Tinder not exclusive to the United States, but Jay had been in America for months at this point. He knew what he was doing. He's just sorry that he got caught. But hey, that's more than we can say for Colt Johnson.
