There has been previous research done that supports the idea that married folks are happier than single people, but apparently, they only have that energy when their spouse is in the room. When they are alone, the narrative changes. Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Behavioral science professor, Paul Dolan, told The Guardian that while “married people are happier than other population subgroups,” that only applies to “when their spouse is in the room when they’re asked how happy they are.” “When the spouse is not present: f—ing miserable,” Dolan, who teaches at the London School of Economics, candidly explained. “The healthiest and happiest population subgroup are women who never married or had children.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

Ciara was one of many celeb guest appearances in a video for Swift’s new song You Need To Calm Down , among them include Ellen DeGeneres, RuPaul, Katy Perry, Laverne Cox and Billy Porter.

The Equality Act would amend the Civil Rights to include protections for employment, public housing and federal funding, just to name a few of the areas affected. “Let’s show our pride by demanding that, on a national level, our laws truly treat all our citizens equally,” reads a message that appears at the end of the video “Please sign my petition for Senate support of the Equality Act on Change.org.” Sign Up For Our Newsletter!

One of the moments that has people talking is Brie Larson’s much-deserved victory, ta king home the award for “Best Fight” for her work in Captain Marvel . It was a tough category to win, beating out some serious contenders like her fellow Marvel pals Chris Evans and Josh Brolin for their fight in Avengers: End Game , along with Maisie Williams for her fight against the White Walkers in Game of Thrones . Out of all the contenders, Brie took home the big prize for her incredible show of strength throughout Marvel’s first female-led film–and what’s even more amazing than her accomplishment alone is how she chose to accept the award. The actress ended up bringing her Captain Marvel stunt doubles, Joanna Bennett and Renae Moneymaker , on stage to accept the award. She introduced both ladies, saying, “I could not have made this film without them. They are really the baseline of who she is. They are the living embodiment of Captain Marvel .” After that, the star stepped aside to give the other women their shine, letting them give their own respective speeches about what it was like to work on this film together.

They ended their acceptance speech thanking Brie for acknowledging their role in the film and the work of stunt doubles in general, which is often overlooked. Fans all over the world have been praising Larson since last night for her generosity in making sure her stunt doubles get their shine, making everyone even more in love with the star. “Brie Larson lied about doing all of her stunts” She did all the stunts she was ALLOWED to do. ANYWAY, here’s her PROFESSIONAL stunt doubles and she brought them with her after winning the Best Fight award. Your faves could never. pic.twitter.com/YKfJry0RcX — ︽✵︽

Source: Handout / Getty Donald Trump Refuses To Apologize To Central Park 5 At this point, it’s been well-publicized that Donald Trump once took out a full-page ad in four NYC newspapers calling for the death penalty for the 5 then-boys, Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson, Anton McCray, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise, who were charged and convicted of raping a woman in Central Park. View this post on Instagram Mr. President @realdonaldtrump will you apologize to the Central Park Five? Posted @withrepost • @realdlhughley #This #TeamDl A post shared by April D. Ryan (@adr1600) on Jun 18, 2019 at 3:45am PDT Just minutes ago, White House correspondent April Ryan asked the President if he plans on apologizing for taking out those ads since the five men have been exonerated and the real rapist has fully confessed to the crime. His response shouldn’t surprise you, you’ve heard it before… POTUS tells @AprilDRyan he will not apologize for taking out a full page ad calling for the men known as the Central Park Five to get the death penalty. He says people on “both sides” confessed. The men were exonerated via DNA evidence. pic.twitter.com/BXvd4nIzXq — Yashar Ali (@yashar) June 18, 2019 Yup. You heard right. “Both sides” is back. Can’t the Secret Service take a day off? Just one day, that’s all it would take.

On Sunday night, 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? viewers witnessed the aftermath of Larissa Lima's second arrest . Those who only watch the show, and don't keep up with Larissa and Colt in real time, were shocked. They're wondering if Larissa will be deported. That is a question shared by those who have kept up with their activities. After Larissa's assault trial earlier this month, the verdict was not immediately clear. Will Larissa be deported? The Blast overheard her speaking about just that. Take a look: 1. Will Larissa Lima be deported? That is the question seemingly on everyone’s lips — particularly on those of viewers who saw Sunday night’s episode of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? 2. What happened? The cameras were not there to capture it all — we wish that they had been. As far as viewers were told, Larissa locked herself in the bathroom, someone called the police, Colt’s door got broken down, and it was Larissa who was arrested. 3. So what really happened? We, of course, do not claim to have any special knowledge about what went down in their home. However, those of us who were covering Larissa and Colt back when this happened in November remember it like it was yesterday. 4. Colt and Larissa had a heated argument That afternoon, Larissa shared video of what she claimed was damage done to their downstairs (shelves knocked over) by Colt. That evening, as they argued, she locked herself in the bathroom. 5. This is when things went from bad to worse Colt cut off Larissa’s phone signal so that she could not call anyone. He would later explain that he hoped to diffuse the system and cause his wife to calm down. Instead, it terrified her and made her fear for her life. 6. She begged fans for help Larissa could still access social media via the household WiFi, so she begged people on Instagram to contact Colt (she even shared his number) and implore him to turn her phone back on. The panic in her messages was very palpable to her fans and followers. View Slideshow
It's been over a month since CPS took David Eason and Jenelle Evans' kids away . As terrible as Jenelle and David are as both parents and human beings, it's always a little sad to see a family broken up — but in this case, it really needed to be done. Teen Mom 2 viewers long suspected that David's violent and abusive tendencies presented a threat to his children, and authorities arrived at the same conclusion when Eason shot and killed the family dog . Now, it's up to Jenelle and David to prove to a family court judge that they can provide a safe and stable home life for their kids. But since that's pretty much a losing battle, they're trying to convince their Instagram followers instead. Take a look: 1. David and Daughter Jenelle posted several photos of David with 2-year-old daughter Ensley today. Like the rest of the couple’s kids, Ensley has been removed from their home and placed with relatives. 2. Before the Fall Evans captured the pics with the hashtag “#MemoriesNeverFade”. For obvious reasons, she disabled comments. 3. Bad Times on The Land We’re not sure what Jenelle’s goal was in posting pics of David hanging out with his daughter. Was she trying to trick her followers into thinking she had regained custody? 4. Nice Try Whatever the case, judging from the reaction on Twitter, nobody was fooled into thinking Dave is anything other than a horrendous father. 5. The Very Brightest Bulb Yes, Jenelle disabled the comments on her Instagram, but she also linked to the post on Twitter, which left the door wide open for critics to offer their two cents. 6. Boom. Roasted. Like we said, Jenelle’s Twitter followers REALLY didn’t hold back on this one. View Slideshow
