Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN Leslie Jones Is Finally Getting Her Own Netflix Special Leslie Jones stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday night to drop off a big announcement. The Saturday Night Live cast member is going to headline her very own stand-up comedy special for Netflix, which is expected to drop sometime in 2020. The currently-untitled project will be produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment. Jones has been an SNL staple since 2014, being nominated twice for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series at the Primetime Emmy Awards. She’s also nominated this year for co-writing the lyrics to “Upper East Side,” a song featured in the show’s 44th season. Check out Leslie’s big announcement below!
Joy-Anna Duggar is putting on a brave face these days. And, at times, she’s also stuffing this face with ice cream. The 21-year revealed about a month ago that she had suffered a miscarriage after five months of pregnancy, teaming with husband Austin Forsyth to break this tragic news to their fans and supporters. Wrote the couple on Instagram at the time: “Today marks one week since we heard these words… “So this is your baby’s heart (pointing to the ultrasound screen). I don’t hear a heartbeat or see any movement.” Duggar and Forsyth had announced they were expecting their second child back on May 1, joining a very long line of loved ones who were pregnant and looking forward to welcoming a baby later this year. And then their dreams came crashing down this summer. Because Joy-Anna was so far along, she even had to give birth to her late child . Just truly heart-breaking all around. Now, several weeks after she made this terrible announcement, Joy-Anna is slowly but surely returning to the spotlight. She wants everyone to know that she’s struggling, as any woman would be, but that she’s also doing okay. On August 7, for example, Duggar posted the following photo on her Instagram page and included as a message: “Being real y’all. It’s been one of those days … lots of crying, praying, and a little ice cream.” As you can see above, the caption was laid over a photo of the Duggar daughter holding an ice cream cone.. Joy-Anna then shared a psalm on her Story as well: “Evening, morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” Just a few days earlier, Duggar had posted another psalm on her official social media page, including with it an update on just how she and Austin and dealing with their recent tragedy. “Our hearts are healing,” she wrote alongside the image above, adding: “Yes, those days come that I miss my little girl so much. Wishing I could have met her, seen Austin love on her and Gideon play with her.” Duggar had previously told followers she and her husband named their little girl Annabell Elise — Annabell meaning “God has favored me” and Elise meaning “God satisfies.” In this caption from July 26, she continued: Yet, God has given us so much comfort. People say that I am strong, but I am not. It is Jesus’ strength that has carried me through. He’s given me a peace that passes all understanding and he has given me His JOY. From there, Duggar quoted a pair of psalms: He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. (Psalms 147:3) The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all. (Psalm 34:18-19) We continue to keep Joy-Anna and Austin in our thoughts during this challenging time. We wish them the best. View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [MORE UPDATES!]
Earlier this summer, we reported on a truly nightmarish ordeal. Gina Kirschenheiter’s ex allegedly threatened to murder her after attacking her in her home. Now, that same ex-husband is accusing her in court of being “vindictive” and hyping up tensions for Real Housewives drama. In June, The Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter endured a harrowing alleged attack. She says that her ex-husband, Matt, broke into her home late at night and attacked her in her living room. In addition to repeatedly striking and shoving her, she says that he repeatedly threatened her life. At one point, Gina ran outside to get help from a neighbor, but accuses Matt of having dragged her back to the house. Police arrived and arrested Matt, and now the exes are facing off in court over visitation of their young children. RadarOnline reports that, in a July 30 declaration made over a month after the alleged attack, Matt is trying to smear Gina in court documents. “Petitioner has historically been extremely vindictive,” Matt claims of his ex-wife. “And,” he accuses. “Has used the children when she becomes angry or wants to control me.” “Petitioner has been acting erratically and in a way that I believe is unfortunately more based on a ‘storyline’ for her reality television show,” Matt says. “And,” he writes. “Not rooted in the best interest of our children.” Just as Gina is trying to revoka Matt’s visitation in the aftermath of the June incident, he says that she has wanted to do so before. “She caused total chaos,” Matt recalls. “As we did not know if she was coming to pick up the children or not.” He writes: “Petitioner texted my sister ‘Visitation will be revoked. He needs to get himself in order. He’s sick. Not broke.” “Petitioner demanding that my visitation with our children by ‘revoked’ simply because she was going to be required to pay her own car payment,” Matt adds. He continues: “is consistent with her historical vindictive mature and using the children as ‘leverage.'” Matt also levels an accusation that Gina has issued threats of her own. According to his declaration, Gina once “threatened” his mother in a text message. Gina is said to have texted “You’ll see what happens next!” alongside a photo of a firework going off. “I am convinced that Petitioner is using any excuse she can to separate the children from me,” Matt writes. “As she knows that is my Achilles Heel.” He also complains that he was “forced to resign” from his job after his arrest in June, though it’s not clear how that’s supposed to be Gina’s fault. Exes claiming that the other is stirring up drama for reality TV reasons isn’t new. It’s as old as reality TV itself. But it only makes sense that Bravo’s cameras would cover the aftermath of Gina’s DUI arrest in February. It doesn’t sound like Gina and Matt are going to agree on anything, let alone decisions about their young children, in the near future. The two of them are due to face off in court again on August 14. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 14: Everything We Know
Jenelle Evans has a lot of time on her hands these days. When Evans was fired from Teen Mom 2 , she had plenty to keep her busy, what with the ugly battle to regain custody of her children, and all. These days, however, Jenelle has regained custody of her kids (much to the chagrin of many who followed her case closely). So now she has three little ones at home (Barbara Evans still has custody of Jenelle’s eldest son.), and her cushy six-figure gig with MTV is a thing of the past. Given those circumstances, we guess it’s no surprise that Jenelle has been spending much of her ample free time posting sponsored content about her former castmates. And to the surprise of absolutely no one, her most hated rivals remain her favorite targets for salacious and potentially damaging gossip. For weeks, there have been rumors of an affair between Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer . These rumors are largely Jenelle’s doing. The unemployed mom seems to delight in insinuating that her former co-stars are more than friends. The rumors seem to be based on nothing more than the fact that the Kailyn and Leah enjoy taking vacations together . These trips are usually family affairs, with both Kail and Leah taking their kids along for the ride. But that hasn’t stopped Jenelle from repeatedly implying that Lowry and Messer’s most recent relationships failed because they were cheating on their exes with one another. Jenelle is paid for the sponsored content that she posts, but she seems to take pleasure in posting clickbait articles about her co-stars’ failed relationships and past infidelities. Whether or not these infidelities actually occurred is immaterial: On Thursday the above image appeared in Evans’ Instagram stories. Clearly, it depicts Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer, even though the article she linked to has nothing to do with either party. Instead, the piece purports to focus on Mackenzie McKee’s Teen Mom OG debut and the storyline in which she suspects her husband of cheating. But like just about everything Jenelle posts, it features multiple shady, unsubstantiated claims about Kail and Leah. Specifically, it references a trip the friends took to Costa Rica while Messer was still dating Jason Jordan. “So what if we’re dating?” Kail jokingly captioned one of the pics — and apparently, that was proof enough for both Jenelle and the author of the piece. The article fixates so wholly on Kail and Leah that it takes a full 10 paragraphs to get to the topic of Mackenzie and her Teen Mom OG drama. Sounds like Jenelle’s not the only one who’s obsessed with the idea of Leah and Kail carrying on an affair. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans: Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer are Totally Scissoring!
Source: Win McNamee / Getty Joe Biden Tells Iowa Crowd “Poor Kids Are Just As Bright And Just As Talented As White Kids” Former Vice President Joe Biden is effing up once again . According to NBC News , the Democratic presidential candidate visited a town hall on Thursday with the Asian and Latino Coalition in Des Moines, Iowa. When the conversation came to the discrimination faced by low-income students, Joe had this to say: “We have this notion that somehow if you’re poor, you cannot do it. Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as White kids.” Then he paused, and clarified with the quickness : “Wealthy kids, Black kids and Asian kids. No, I really mean it, but think how we think about it.” Mhm. *Taps mic for Joe in the back* Not all Black people or people of color are poor! There are a lot of white people who are poor despite White people still being generally more wealthy ! Peep Joe’s clip and some of the backlash below. Understand the inference in what @JoeBiden is saying when comparing “poor kids” (i.e. Black and brown children) to “white kids.” He sets white children as the standard of brilliance and talent. Thus, the benchmark of greatness that nonwhite people need to reach for is whiteness. https://t.co/CLEC4xk5fi — Bishop Talbert Swan (@TalbertSwan) August 9, 2019 Eventually, Kate Bedingfield, Biden’s deputy campaign manager, said that Biden “misspoke and immediately corrected himself during a refrain he often uses to make the point that all children deserve a fair shot, and children born into lower-income circumstances are just as smart as those born to wealthy parents.” Of course Trump hopped on any chance to drag a Democrat, pretending that he cares about poor people or people of color. When asked about Biden’s comments, Trump told a reporter that Biden is “not playing with a full deck.” “He made the comment, I said, ‘Whoa,’” Trump said. Trump on Biden's “poor kids” comment: “Joe Biden is not playing with a full deck. This is not somebody you can have as your president.” https://t.co/idScOroOzN pic.twitter.com/0n8TbU2wSi — CBS News (@CBSNews) August 9, 2019 Yea whatever. Get it together Biden.
