Olga Koshimbetova FINALLY Confirms She and Baby Are in America!

Back in April, 90 Day Fiance fans were concerned and a little suspicious when Steven Frend returned to America without Olga . He kept promising to bring his fiancee –and baby — back to the US, then went silent. But fans have long suspected that Olga very quietly came to the US with baby Alex, and now, she has confirmed that. Olga took to Instagram on Wednesday morning to finally confirm what fans already knew in their hearts. “The humidity is killing me,” Olga admitted. That’s not something that people generally say in Russia. “I’m still getting used to this weather,” she adds. “For a past few days,” Olga continues. “I already get sick because of AC.” Air conditioning itself doesn’t make people sick, but going in and out of hot weather and cool air can play games with your immune system. “But there is a good news,” Olga writes. “Me and Alex learned how to use the metro and went home on our own (2.5 km).” It is believed that they are living in Maryland. “So,” she adds. “We are making little steps” “I would be very grateful if you tell me where you can buy good (cheap) children’s things (diapers, etc.),” Olga tells her followers. “And,” she asks. “Other lifehacks where you can save money.” Olga concludes by reminding fans that many of the photos she’s posted lately are just “old pictures from trip to Moscow :)” Earlier in June, Olga dropped some further hints to her fans and followers. “I took a big break from Instagram for some reasons,” Olga wrote with deliberate vagueness. “But now,” she assured her fans and followers. “Everything is fine.” She even shows off a smiling emoticon to prove it. “Thank you guys for all your messages,” Olga wrote to her enduring supporters. “And,” she concluded, she appreciates “that you’re still with me.” Awww! And then, back in the first half of April, Olga shared this tidbit. “FINALLY,” she wrote alongside a photo of her visa and documents. The implication was clear, and it coincided with Steven having spent weeks building up hype that she and baby Alex would join him in the US. (Reminder: their baby’s name is Richie Aleksandr, but they call him Alex — confusion is understandable) The thing is that they’ve been playing things close to the chest … and we think we know why. Steven Frend sharing this sweet mother-son photo was all but confirmation that they were reunited in Maryland. But what possible reason could they have for playing coy — for months — about their whereabouts? They wouldn’t be on social media like they are if they didn’t want to keep fans updated. Well, we can spell out that fan theory for you. They. Were. Filming. For. 90. Day. Fiance. Season. 7. We’re not announcing that. It’s not confirmed. (Believe us, when they start announcing the Season 7 couples, we’ll let you know!) But it’s the only thing that makes sense. The 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? that’s airing right now filmed last summer and last autumn. But Season 6 of 90 Day Fiance filmed earlier than that last year. Multiple couples had weddings in June of 2018. It’s now June of 2019, which would make this a very sensible time for at least some couples to be wrapping up filming. The timing of it checks out, and we can’t think of any other reason for them to keep quiet about their lives. Welcome to America, Olga!

Kate Middleton: Did She Just Debut a New Baby Bump?

It’s only been about 14 months since Kate Middleton welcomed her third child — but royal bump watchers never rest, and new pics of Kate from Tuesday’s Royal Ascot seem to have captured their attention. What is the Ascot, you ask? Frankly, we have no idea, but based on the coverage from this side of the pond, it seems it’s an annual event at which people scrutinize Kate Middleton’s midsection hoping for signs of a pregnancy. Kate’s appearance at this year’s Ascot seems to have a lot of people talking for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. Many claim they’ve detected a bump, but all that talk makes us feel like we’re looking at one of those Magic Eye posters from the 90s. We’re just not seeing it. Can anyone help us out? Sure, Kate is obscuring her midsection with her handbag in some of these pics … but we’re pretty sure that’s just a normal way to stand? Anyway, the speculation comes on the heels of reports that Kate and Prince William are trying for a Band-Aid baby that they hope will help their relationship recover from the reports that Will cheated with Rose Hanbury during Kate’s last pregnancy. “Catherine would like another baby,” a source tells Express UK. “She loves children and is prepared to put herself through another pregnancy even though they have been complicated by severe morning sickness in the past.” The source says Kate can’t wait to get knocked up again, but they also address the fact that Kate suffers from severe morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy. So if she were in the “barely discernible bump” stage, she probably wouldn’t be making many appearances. The insider also acknowledges that Kate already has quite a lot on her plate these days. “As Louis is now only 13 months old, they are likely focusing their energy on parenting their three children for now,” says the informant. Yeah, 13 months would really be pushing it, as doctors recommend that women wait at least 18 months between pregnancies. And we’re guessing Kate isn’t exactly longing for something to occupy her afternoons these days. Not only does she have three kids at home, she still maintains a full schedule of official engagements. And if the British tabloid press is to be believed (it’s not) Kate still finds time to devote several hours a day to her feud with Meghan Markle .

Kathryn Dennis: Thomas Ravenel is a Drunk and Ashley Jacobs’ Texts Prove It!

Disgraced former Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel scored a small courtroom victory against Kathryn Dennis . But now she’s getting a victory of her own — a sworn affidavit about Thomas and Ashley’s continued, secret relationship. She got her hands on text messages, plus testimony about Thomas’ reliance upon nannies, Ashley, and alcohol. The Blast  reports that Kathryn Dennis has scored a small victory in her custody battle with Thomas Ravenel. Court documents reveal that a woman named Lara Dawson was roommates with Ashley Jacobs. The duration of their roommate status lasted from September 2018 until January 2019. (Notably, this was not during a time in which Ashley or Thomas were very open about being in each other’s orbits) Lara encountered Thomas on numerous occassions during this time period. According to Lara’s affidavit, she accused Thomas of having a drinking problem. She also says that Ashley “corroborated” her suspicion. “Whenever she [Ashley] and Thomas would break up,” Lara recalls. “She’d always tell me the truth about what had been occurring over at his house.” “She always talked about his alcoholism,” Lara says. “And the fact that she was tired of taking care of his children.” And yes, there was more about Thomas’ kids. Lara says that she learned that Thomas had once had once become so drunk that he couldn’t even read his children a book. From what she gleaned through Ashley, he was also heavily reliant upon the nanny to care for Kensie and Saint. Apparently, Ashley would speak very directly about her experiences with Thomas whenever they would temporarily break up. Lara is very direct about not being a neutral observer. She describes Ashley as having a terrible temper and being “extremely vindictive.” To back up her statements, Lara submitted to the court text conversations that she had exchanged with Ashley. In the mean time, we already reported on Thomas Ravenel’s small win. Citing Kathryn’s decision to speak about the custody battle on Southern Charm , the judge unsealed the case. Now we know more: that Thomas was outraged that Kathryn had spoken about him. From what The Blast reports, it doesn’t sound like he was worried about the privacy of their children. Instead, he was apparently just unhappy that Kathryn was making him look bad. Thomas’ unhappiness has led him to drag even Andy Cohen into this battle. Notably, he had already accused Bravo of pushing Kathryn to seek sole custody for reality TV drama. But he’s taken specific issue with Kathryn’s latest appearance on Watch What Happens Live. While there, she said something to the effect that Thomas wouldn’t leave her alone. Andy responded with encouragement, telling Kathryn “everyone is rooting for you.” In Thomas’ eyes, this interview constituted Andy actively disparaging him and telling the world that Thomas was a liar. That’s … quite a take. And he continues to express his unhappiness at Bravo for not mentioning in court that they intended to address the custody battle on the show. Some may argue that it’s common sense that a reality star would discuss important life events on the reality show on which she stars. But it’s not clear how that would go over as a legal argument. We suppose that we’ll all find out. View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!

Paige Drummond, Daughter of Pioneer Woman, Arrested for Public Intoxication

Paige Drummond, the 19-year old daughter of one of the world’s most famous chefs and homemakers, was arrested in mid-April. The details of this arrest are only just coming to light now. According to legal documents obtained by E! News and other outlets, the teenage child of Ree Drummond (also known as The Pioneer Woman) was taken into custody this spring for having and consuming alcohol. (How dare she, right?!?) Based on these papers, Paige was charged with possession of alcohol by a person under 21 years of age, as well as public intoxication. The records show she was charged and taken to jail in mid-April in her home state of Oklahoma. Paige is Reed’s second oldest child. According to a document filed by a district attorney, Paige “did appear in a drunken condition” in the city of Stillwater, Oklahoma. The crime is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fee of up to $500, although, come on, let’s face it: Clearly the 19-year old will not face punishments this harsh. Nor should she probably, in our opinion. There’s a little bit more to report, however: The teenager was found in possession of an open container of beer, to which the legal document claimed she “did unlawfully possess and consume a non-intoxicating beverage, containing more than one-half of one-percent of alcohol measured by weight, in a public place.” The daughter of this wildly popular food blogger and television host paid a total of $404.50 thus far in court fees for the alleged crimes. Ree sky-rocketed to fame through her Food Network program, but she has also released a number of recipe books and has earned universal acclaim throughout the food world. Ree also has a 21-year-old daughter Alex, who recently graduated from college, and two teenage sons, Bryce and Todd. She has frequently jokeed to her followers about how strict she is as a parent, saying, for instance, that she refuses to say the word “boyfriend” for her daughters’ significant others. We’d call that more odd than strict, but hey. To each her own, we suppose. Ree has not yet commented on the charges against her daughter. In addition to her widely successful television show, Ree’s culinary career includes a line of cookbooks and cookware, all of which spawned from a simple blog. She’s a role model to many followers. Columbia Pictures even acquired the film rights to her book From Black Heels to Tractor Wheels in March 2010, but hasn’t made any forward progression since that time. What do you think? Should Paige Drummond spend any time in jail?

Not Shocked: President Donald Trump Refuses To Apologize To The Exonerated Five

Read the original:

Source: Mario Tama / Getty President Donald Trump was a harsh critic of the so-called Central Park Five , five teens who were accused of a heinous attack on a jogger in Central Park 30 years ago. Despite evidence clearing the men of the crime and an admission of guilt from the man who carried out the act, Trump refuses to give an apology to the men who now call themselves the “Exonerated Five.” Deadline reports : When asked today by White House correspondent April Ryan if he would apologize to the five men who were falsely accused of a brutal rape, but were later completely exonerated, Trump asked Ryan, “Why do you bring that question up now? It’s an interesting time to bring it up.” Trump continued, “You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt. If you look at Linda Fairstein, and you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that the city should never have settled that case. So we’ll leave it at that.” Trump in 1989 bought full page ads in New York City newspapers calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty in New York following the arrest of the five then-teens ― four of whom were black and one Hispanic ― in connection with the rape of a white jogger in Central Park. The horrific tale of abuse and injustice suffered by the Exonerated Five was detailed in grand detail via Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us series on Netflix. The director responded to President Trump’s comments, which can be viewed below. pic.twitter.com/lcAnZjNWRM — Ava DuVernay (@ava) June 19, 2019 — Photo: Getty

Dwyane Wade On His Son Attending Miami Pride: ‘My Role As A Father Is To Support My Kids’

Original post:

Source: James Devaney / Getty Dwyane Wade made headlines in April when he posted on his social media pages his love and support for his son Zion, who was attending Miami Pride with stepmother Gabrielle Union and their family. Months later in a recent interview with Variety , for the first time Wade is publicly talking about why supporting his 11-year-old son and his sexual orientation is his job as a parent. “I don’t really talk about it much because it’s Zion’s story to tell,” Wade told the entertainment website at  Cannes Lions , the annual advertising conference in the South of France. “I think as a family, we should support each other. That’s our job. And my job as a father is to facilitate their lives and to support them and be behind them in whatever they want to do.” NBA star Dwyane Wade on supporting his son's attendance at Miami #Pride https://t.co/yk4kuCE3nA pic.twitter.com/uRFIUVdUrK — Variety (@Variety) June 18, 2019 When asked to give advice on parenting for Pride Month, the recently retired basketball star said that regardless of the month, his style never changes. “I think people expect you to parent each kids the same. They are all different, and I have to get to know them and where they are. I have to say to most parents, get to know your kids. Don’t put your wants and needs on them.” Wade also shared that he was taken aback when he realized that supporting his son was met with backlash on social media. “I’m very uneasy about accolades that come from supporting my kids or the negativity that comes from it. I’m doing what every parent has to do. Once you bring kids into this world, you become unselfish. It’s my job to be their role model, to be their voice in my kids’ lives, to let them know you can conquer the world. So, go and be your amazing self and we’re going to sit back and just love you,” he said.

Just a few months after doing his first post-prison show in a hot minute, TMZ is reporting that Dark Man X is also getting back on his Hollywood grind and will be taking on the role of a homicide detective in the upcoming film Chronicle of A Serial Killer . The movie features Brendan Sexton as a serial murderer … and DMX is playing Detective White, who’s trying to track down the killer. Tara Reid , Eric Roberts  and Aly Mang are also starring in the film. X was able to land the role after Michael Madsen ( Kill Bill ) caught a DUI charge in Malibu back in April and was booted from the film. The director, Steve Stanulis , tells TMZ … when his casting director suggested X for the role, he knew it was a perfect fit, and the rapper didn’t even have to audition. Steve says he has no doubt DMX is “going to bring a different dynamic to the role.”  Judging from the fact that Tara Reid is considered a lead in the film, we’re guessing that Chronicle of A Serial Killer will be a straight to DVD or TV production, but we can’t hate at all. We’re just glad to see the “Slippin’” rapper on steady ground and getting on with his life. We can’t wait to see X do his thing on film again. — Photo: WENN

Outrage Soars After LAPD Reportedly Fired On Unarmed Black Father 37 Times

Read more:

Source: South_agency / Getty A community in South Los Angeles is gathered in outrage after new details continue to develop regarding the shooting of an unarmed Black father of three earlier in the month. Ryan Twyman was sitting inside a vehicle on June 6 when LAPD officers approached and began firing over 30 rounds according to witness accounts. KTLA reports : Ryan Twyman, a father of three, was shot dead in the parking lot of an apartment complex at San Pedro and 132nd streets on the evening of June 6. Deputies had approached a car Twyman was inside just before firing shots, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. The 24-year-old was pronounced dead at the scene. He was still inside a vehicle when he died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to corner’s officials. Speculation about the number of times Twyman was shot has surfaced in dozens of social media posts in the days since. But the Sheriff’s Department has released few details — no information about how many times he was shot and no description of any crime he may have been suspected of. The department has, however, confirmed that no weapon was found at the scene. Compton rapper The Game took to Instagram to address Los Angeles authorities about Twyman’s death. “I can remember us having a conversation about bettering Los Angeles awhile back on both sides of the ball. You were genuine & from what I could see a good human that wanted change just as much as us. Well now I’m calling on you @mayorofla Eric Garcetti……. We need answers on how Los Angeles Sheriff’s could shoot my family #RyanTwyman 37 times while unarmed & murder him in cold blood ???” reads a portion of Game’s caption on an Instagram photo of Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. A GoFundMe has been enacted to assist Twyman’s family, which can be viewed here . — Photo: Getty
