Nipsey Hussle Funeral Features Tribute from Barack Obama, So Many Tears

Nipsey Hussle was laid to rest in a public and emotional memorial on Thursday morining.

Referred to as a Celebration of Life for the late rapper - who was shot to death outside his clothing store on March 31 - the event was held at Staples Center and, following a processional, Hussle was buired in Forest Lawn Cemetery.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced on April 4 that Eric Ronald Holder Jr. was charged with fatally shooting Hussle and wounding two others in Los Angeles.

Holder allegedly walked up to Hussle, shot him twice, realized he was still alive after Nipsey actually spoke to him... and then turned around, shot Hussle in the head and then ran away to a getaway vehicle.

But this memorial was not about mourning Hussle.

It was about honoring a life spent making music and inspiring others, as Hussle was dedicated to making the dangerous streets on which he was raised safe for current future generations at the time he was killed.

Former President Barack Obama was not in attendance at the service, but he did pen a message to Hussle's loved ones.

It was read aloud and this is what it said:

I'd never met Nipsey Hussle, but I'd heard some of his music through my daughters, and after his passing, I had the chance to learn more about his transformation and his community work.

While most folks look at the Crenshaw neighborhood where he grew up and see only gangs, bullets, and despair, Nipsey saw potential. He saw hope. He saw a community that, even through its flaws, taught him to always keep going.

His choice to invest in that community rather than ignore it -- to build a skills training center and a coworking space in Crenshaw; to lift up the Eritrean-American community; to set an example for young people to follow -- is a legacy worth of celebration.

I hope his memory inspires more good work in Crenshaw and communities like it

Michelle and I send our sympathies to Lauren, Emani, Kross, and the entire Asghedom family and to all those who loved Nipsey.

Nipsey Hussle and Fans

Elsewhere, Stevie Wonder sang "Rocket Love" and "Tears in Heaven" -- and also gave a speech about the importance of taking action to change the gun laws in America.

"It is a heartbreak to again lose a member of our family. It's a heartbreak because it's so unnecessary," the legendary artist said, adding:

"We, to be a civilized nation, civilized world, we are still living in a time where ego, anger, jealousy, is controlling our lives. It is so painful to know that we don't have enough people taking a position that say, 'Listen, we must have stronger gun laws.' It's unacceptable."

Wonder concluded:

"It's almost like the world is becoming blind. I pray that we will grow. I pray that the leaders who have a responsibility to perpetuate life will do it by making sure that the laws will make it so very hard for people to have guns and to take their frustrations out to kill life...

"I hope that it motivates us enough to say, 'Enough of people being killed by guns and violence.'

"I hope that we don't just talk about it but we be about it -- make a difference for our future."

Nipsey Hussle and Lauren London

Finally, and perhaps most emotionally, Lauren London addressed attendees.

The actress had been dating Hussle for five years at the time of his murder and has a two-year old child with the late Grammy nominee.

“Never would I prepare for something like this so bear with me, all,” the 34-year-old actress told the crowd of 21,000 in the Staples Center.

She continued through tears:

"You’re still the coolest guy in the world to me. Still! I love you so much. Unconditionally. My truth is this. I’m never going to give up on you. My loyalty and devotion is to you."

Lauren London and Nipsey Hussle

London later shared a text message she wrote to Hussle after watching him sleep one morning and added:

"I’ve never felt this type of pain before but I know that God is alive but bear with me all,” as she read another passage of words she had put together for the memorial...

"His soul was majestic. He was the strongest man that I ever knew. A gentle father, a patient leader, a divine light. He was brilliant. He researched everything, completely self-taught, constantly seeking knowledge."

Speaking of their son Kross, London grew emotional at the thought of her toddler growing up without his father.

“My pain is from a 2-year-old that probably won’t remember how much his dad loved him,” she said.

“This is something that I don’t really understand but I know Ermias always used to say that you can’t possess people; that you experience them. I’m so honored and blessed to experience such a man."

London concluded her speech with one of Hussle’s most well-known phrases.

“In Hussle words, because he always used to say this: The game is going to test you but never fold, stay 10 toes down. It’s not on you, it’s in you and what’s in you they can’t take away. He’s in all of us."

May he rest in peace.


Grey's Anatomy Recap: Did Amelia Make Amends With Her Mother?

Thursday's Grey's Anatomy was a nice change of pace. 

The action moved to New York with Amelia and Link as they made their way to the Big Apple with the aim of saving the life of a patient. 

Once there, Amelia ran into her sister Nancy, who stepped in for the chief of OB, meaning the two sisters had to work together. 

Amelia is Mad on Grey's Anatomy

It was a strange twist of fate, and Nancy seemingly had no idea that Amelia was quite the powerhouse with a scalpel. 

More alarming: Nancy just assumed that Link was Owen. 

This solidified the fact that these siblings don't spend any time checking in with each other. Amelia did not want to open up about her failed relationship with Owen. 

But Nancy urged her sister to have a family dinner with her, and the invitation was open to Link. Thankfully, Link was Team Amelia on this one. 

He was mad the family refused to support her, but Amelia wanted to prove she was the reliable one now. 

Link Defends Amelia on Grey's Anatomy

“This dinner is a chance for me to brag, prove them wrong, I’m not sure,” Amelia said.

“I’m just sure that I have to go, and if you go with me, I’ll make it worth your while in very creative ways that you will enjoy.”

Amelia's other sister, Kathleen, showed up for the meal, and that's when things got wild. Kathleen didn't believe Amelia had changed, so she waited until Amelia was out of the room, and quizzed him. 

Link managed to dodge the questions, but the drama kicked into high gear when Amelia's mother showed up, and she knew Link was not Owen. 

Amelia's mood changed because she looked like a total liar, and she decided to come clean about the state of her relationship with Owen. 

The Shepherds on Grey's Anatomy

The family revealed they had a bet on about how quickly the union would end, causing Amelia to wonder why she bothered. 

On top of that, they made jokes about her having a brain tumor. It was as awful as you would expect. 

“You don’t know me. You have not seen me in years. I am trapped in your mind and on your stairs at 14 years old,” Amelia shouted, adding:

“I am sober, I am responsible, and I am a neurosurgeon at the top of my field.”

Link realized he had to say something to defend his new girlfriend, and he was pretty awesome. 

Amelia and Link Get Closer

“I’m new to all of this, and I haven’t known Amelia that long but I wanted us to stay for dinner tonight so you can get to know the woman I’m getting to know,” the self-proclaimed "ortho god," said. 

“She is a brilliant surgeon. The kind you fly across the country when you need the best.”

Amelia and Link then left the dinner party, clearly upset at the way things played out. 

When they returned to the hospital, their patient was flatlining, so they pressed on with risky surgery. 

Link did not want to do it, but Amelia was adamant; It could save their patient's life, and it did. 

15 Seasons of Feels

Amelia's mom then showed up at the hospital, and the pair got chatting about their lives. That's when Mrs. Shepherd revealed that she always knew Amelia was stronger than everyone gave her credit for. 

She finally gave her daughter the apology she should have several years before. 

"If you don’t think you’re worthy of love if you don’t think your love is valuable, you’re wrong. That’s on me,” she said.

Kim Kardashian: My Dad Hid O.J. Simpson Murder Evidence In a Secret Room!

Many were stunned by the revelation that Kim Kardashian is studying to become an attorney. But it makes a certain kind of sense.

In fact, her father was a famous attorney who worked on one of the world's most infamous criminal cases: the O.J. Simpson trial.

Now, Kim has divulged that she found her father's secret library of O.J. evidence as a teen ... and poured through the forensics.

Kim Kardashian Wears Beret

Speaking in the May issue of Vogue, Kim Kardashian reflects upon what she remembers of the O.J. Simpson trial.

Kim was a young teenager at the time and acutely aware of the controversial trial that consumed the attention of a nation.

And she also knew the role that her father played in it.

"On the weekends," Kim divulges. "They used our home as an office."

She says that her father, Robert Kardashian, would work there "with Johnnie Cochran and Bob Shapiro."

Those are the two biggest names on the infamous "Dream Team" that helped an alleged double-murderer evade justice.

"My dad had a library," Kim recalls.

She then details a unique and secret feature of the room that helped him as an attorney.

"And," Kim reveals. "When you pushed on this wall there was this whole hidden closet room."

That is a neat feature -- but more importantly, a useful tool if you're working on the trial of the century and fear that someone may snoop.

Kim notes that her father made good use of the hidden closet, stocking it "with all of his O.J. evidence books."

O.J. Simpson, Robert Kardashian

Kim knew about the secret chamber, and reveals that her teenage curiosity drove her to investigate the closely guarded secrets.

"On weekends," Kim shares. "I would always snoop and look through" the evidence books.

She says that one aspect of the case in particular really fascinated her. 

"I was really nosy about the forensics," Kim admits.

Forensics are circumstantial evidence, and played a central role in the O.J. Simpson trial.

Kim Kardashian on Watch What Happens Live

it makes a lot of sense that having a famous attorney as a father might inspire one of four children to study the law.

Considering how closely linked the entire family was to the O.J. Simpson trial, that would have made a tremendous impression upon Kim.

But there's more to Kim's interest in the law than "daddy issues" or formative experiences from her adolescence.

She has also taken up political activisim in recent years, even braving the Trump-occupied Oval Office to successfully get a grandmother out of prison.

Whatever you may think of Kim or her family, she's changing lives.

Kim Kardashian, Very Low Neckline

A lot about DNA has yet to be fully understood, but sufficie it to say that legal training is not hereditary.

Kim will have to seriously work over the next few years if she intends to meet her goal of taking and passing the Bar exam in 2022.

She has four children and an extensive career as a reality star and a businesswoman.

But she's also, and we say this as a compliment, a little nuts.

Like Kris and, to some degree, Khloe, Kim feels extremely driven to constantly do things and to have a packed schedule.

She also has the resources to make sure that her children want for nothing while she applies herself to her studies.

Taking a Call

Here's our question: what is Kim's endgame for this?

She could become an attorney but, at the moment, she can do more good by hiring a team of attorneys to do her bidding on someone's behalf.

Part of this may just be a desire to remind the world that she's actually smart.

(She really, truly is fiercely intelligent -- there is no doubt in my mind that she can pass the Bar)

But is it possible that Kim is considering a future political career?

Studying the law may just be a stepping stone to passing laws ... and Kim may ultimately pursue even higher office.

She wouldn't be our first reality star President, but she could be the first who's smart and arguably not evil.

The Bachelorette Season Premiere Date: Announced!

Beast Mode is coming.

With Hannah Brown ready to unleash her darker side (and The Bachelorette spoilers already coming in), anticipating is building.

Now we know when the former Miss Alabama's epic journey will begin on ABC, as the network has announced its premiere date:

Alabama Hannah

On Monday, May 13, Hannah - who starred on Colton Underwood's season of The Bachelor - begins her own romantic quest.

The bar is set pretty low, at least by reality TV standards. Let's not forget how things played out on her first foray this winter.

Hannah, 24, went so far as to meet Colton's family ... only to be shown the door and booted off the show on the same day.

That's gotta be rough.

Colton and Hannah B.

What kind of dude intros you to his family and cuts you loose 10 minutes later? We digress ... Brown is in the driver's seat now.

While The Bachelor initally focused on her rivalry with fellow contestant (and beauty queen) Caelynn, Hannah is more than that.

Her positive attitude, outgoing personality and, obviously, model looks made her a fan favorite, even if it took a couple of weeks.

What can we expect now?

Hannah Brown on Instagram

After being named the franchise's leading lady on Colton's After the Final Rose special, Brown went right to work that night.

She handed out a rose to one potential suitor, Cameron, and met others who are likely to last a week at most. A mixed bag.

What we're hearing from early Bachelorette spoilers is that there's already a frontrunner who's looking like the one to beat.

Sound familiar?

Hannah Brown Photo

This could still change, as filming continues, but we've seen this in a few seasons lately. There's The One vs. everyone else.

As for The Ones that got away, or who weren't so lucky in love to begin with, ABC is also planning an epic reunion of sorts.

A week before Hannah's season premiere - the series' 15th - the show is bringing back a dozen of previous leading ladies.

That's on Monday, May 6.

The special will feature 12 former Bachelorettes, many of whom did not find the happy ending they were looking for on the show.

Memories, though. 

Check out the gallery above to see who's still together, who flamed out hella fast and who never got together with anyone at all.

Well, folks, it's official -- literally everybody has a podcast.

Earlier this week, Chris Lopez -- Kailyn Lowry's third and most elusive baby daddy -- debuted the first episode of his new 'cast Everybody Hates Lop.

The guy used to make MTV blur his face to protect his anonymity, and now he's podcasting. 

That's progress, we suppose.

Anyway, in his first installment, Chris opened up about his feelings toward Kail and said what we're all thinking about the Teen Mom franchise.

The whole thing was -- surprisingly insightful?

Take a look for yourself and see what we mean:

1. Lop and Lux

Chris, as you probably know, is the father of Kail's youngest son, Lux.

For years, Chris was a ghost as far as Teen Mom 2 viewers were concerned. He refused to appear on the show without having his face blurred.

3. Out of the Shadows

In recent weeks, Chris has emerged from hiding. First, he appeared on an episode of Teen Mom 2, and now, he's launched a podcast.

4. Not a Natural

Chris isn't exactly a born broadcaster, and many listeners complained about his tendency to mumble, but The Ashley's Reality Roundup took one for the team and "translated" the most interesting portions of his debut episode.

5. Not a Fan

Speaking bluntly about the show that made him famous, Chris expressed a viewpoint shared by many viewers -- namely, that Teen Mom 2 lost the plot.

“I honestly just don’t want to be on, especially that show. Gimme my own show,” he said.

Jordyn Woods: Shading Kylie Jenner on Social Media?!

Just recently, Jordyn Woods was feeling blessed despite having been cut out of the lives of the entire Kardashian family.

But has she grown too comfortable with her new life?

In a now-deleted post, Jordyn Woods appeared to be taking shots at her ex-best friend, Kylie Jenner.

Jordyn Woods With Kylie Jenner

"Girls be doin the most to show off their nail color"

Kylie Jenner is, among other things, a beauty mogul.

She has been showing off the way that she paints her nails -- on her hands and toes -- for ages.

Her infamous ex, Tyga, loved to see her nails painted because of his raging foot fetish.

When fans saw the now-deleted Instagram post, they accused Jordyn of mocking Kylie and her entire career.

Jordyn Woods Shows Off Her Nails

However, when one looks at the photo that Jordyn posted, it seems unlikely that Jordyn was taking aim at her former bestie.

In the image, a gorgeous purple light has distorted most of the colors -- of her clothing, her hair, and her skin.

However, one feature stands out despite the purple light and shines with contrast.

It's Jordyn's nails.

Despite the people who naturally associate both Jordyn and nails with Kylie, she's definitely roasting herself.

Look at how her hands are positioned -- just as her caption describes, she's gone out of her way to flaunt those nails.

Jordyn Woods and Kylie Jenner Look Great

So why did she delete the photo?

Well, she was accused of throwing shade at Kylie.

Even if she wasn't -- and we do not believe that she was -- Jordyn would of course want to avoid even the appearance of doing so.

Kylie was her best friend for years. She's still heartbroken over losing that part of her life.

Besides, Jordyn very recently learned a hard lesson at the hands of Khloe and the entire Kardashian family:

Appearances can matter more than the truth.

Jordyn Woods on Red Table Talk

As Jordyn explained at length on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, she never boned Tristan Thompson.

She also didn't sit in her lap.

And she didn't really kiss him, either.

Jordyn revealed that she hadn't even known that the party would be at his house until she and her friends were on their way.

She had sat near him, because she knew him, but that's hardly the same thing as sitting in his lap.

As for the "kiss," Jordyn explained that Tristan had given her an unsolicited kiss that she had neither sought nor desired.

It sounds like some of the partygoers hoped to gain political capital with Khloe by selling out Jordyn and exaggerating circumstances.

Jordyn Woods, Photographed by Kylie Jenner

Unfortunately, Khloe bought these claims about Jordyn hook. line, and sinker -- and decided that Jordyn was the root of all of her problems.

On Twitter and on camera, Khloe screeched that Jordyn was a "liar" who had "ruined her family."

Even if Jordyn had gone into Tristan's bedroom and banged him like there was no tomorrow, Tristan would still have been the cheater.

And since that's not even close to what happened, it seems that Khloe chose to blame Jordyn because it was easier than facing the truth.

Jordyn was cut off by people she had once considered family.

And as this season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians continues, Khloe will have to relive making an ass of herself in front of the whole world.

The Bachelorette Stars: Ranked Worst-to-1st By Relationship Length!

If The Bachelorette spoilers are any indication ... Hannah Brown may have her heart set on The One already on the new season.

If you just look at the venerable franchise's track record, however, Hannah Beast's odds of long-term success are mixed at best.

Why do we say that?

Isn't it obvious? This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain.

Can they transition into real life, establish a new normal and make it work? They can, but often times, they fall short of that goal.

We have ranked the 14 stars of The Bachelorette based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as ABC's queen.

See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if HB can find what some (if not all) of her predecessors have found ...

1. Jen Schefft

Jen schefft
Bachelorette Jen Schefft broke up with winner Jerry Ferris on the After the Rose special because she just "wasn't feeling it." Not even making it to the day after the finale? That's a low bar set for everyone else.

2. Emily Maynard

Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up just a few months after his proposal in 2012. He was never the right guy anyway. Should've picked Sean Lowe. Not that she or Sean (who is happily married to Catherine Giudici, who he met on The Bachelor) are overthinking it right now. Emily has since married and had a bunch of kids with Tyler Johnson.

3. Andi Dorfman

Amber Heard: Johnny Depp Is an Alcoholic "Monster" Who's Jealous of James Franco

When Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce in 2017, both parties signed non-disclosure agreements barring them from speaking about the relationship or the breakup in interviews.

But some stories are too scandalous to stay buried, and a series of lawsuits have resulted in the strange tale of one of Hollywood's most disastrous marriages being dredged up time and time again.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp: Throwback Photo

In December of 2018, Heard published an op-ed in the Washington Post in which she referenced the abuse she had allegedly suffered during her marriage.

Though she never mentioned him by name in the piece, Depp filed a $50 million lawsuit against Heard, alleging that she had violated the NDA.

Last week saw the release of court documents in which Depp claimed that Heard tried to cut off his finger, amongst other allegations.

Heard and Depp

Now it's Heard's turn to return fire, and based on a filing obtained by Page Six, she's certainly not holding back.

In the documents, Heard claims Depp “would become a totally different person, often delusional and violent. We called that version of Johnny, ‘the Monster.’”

She goes on to detail a May 2014 flight from Boston to Los Angeles, during which Depp “began to throw objects at me” after becoming infuriated by news that she had filmed a romantic scene with actor James Franco.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp in Palm Springs

“Instead of reacting to his behavior, I simply moved seats,” she said.

“That didn’t stop him. He provocatively pushed a chair at me as I walked by, yelled at me, and taunted me by yelling out the name ‘James Franco.’” 

We racked our brains for a scene in Pineapple Express in which Heard and Franco hook up before remembering that the actors also appeared together in a second film, 2015's The Adderall Diaries.

Apparently, Depp had forgotten that he was married to an actress and was upset to learn that Heard and Franco kissed on camera.

Johnny Depp: Drunk With Amber Heard!

Heard goes on to claim that Depp “picked another fight with me” at the couple's apartment in LA in 2015.

She says the actor “threw another decanter at me, knocked items around the room, and punched a wall,” and alleges he “slapped me hard, grabbed me by my hair and dragged me from a stairwell to the office to the living to the kitchen to the bedroom and then to the guest room.”

Heard claims that when she told Depp she wanted “to leave him, and that I would call the police if he ever touched me again," the actor responded by  “pushing me” and “head-butted me in my face.”

Depp denies that he ever behaved abusively toward Heard.

In a statement, Depp's lawyers argue that he “never abused Ms. Heard, adding:

"Her allegations against him were false when they were made in 2016. They were part of an elaborate hoax to generate positive publicity for Ms. Heard and advance her career.”

Heard's attorneys fired back, claiming that Depp's lawsuit is not about the $50 million, but is rather part of a larger campaign to protect Depp's reputation by preventing Heard from telling her story.

Johnny Depp, Amber Heard: Venice Film Festival Photo

“This frivolous action is just the latest of Johnny Depp’s repeated efforts to silence Amber Heard. She will not be silenced," they wrote in court documents.

"Mr. Depp’s actions prove he is unable to accept the truth of his ongoing abusive behavior. But while he appears hell-bent on achieving self-destruction, we will prevail in defeating this groundless lawsuit and ending the continued vile harassment of my client by Mr. Depp and his legal team.”

Needless to say, it looks as though this situation will only get uglier from here.

We'll continue to keep you updated as more information becomes available.


Star Wars Episode IX Title, Teaser Trailer Revealed!

It's really happening!!

Star Wars Celebration introduced fans to the cast, both new and old, of Star Wars Episode IX, which premieres this December.

Then the lights dimmed, and the world saw a teaser trailer -- and learned the very exciting title of the newest installment in the Star Wars saga.

Star wars episode ix teaser trailer stills squad

PLEASE take note: this post contains spoilers for the teaser trailer for Star Wars Episode IX.

The teaser opens with darkness and heavy breaths.

It's Rey, standing in a desert while wearing white and visibly steeling herself.

Echoes of Luke Skywalker's voice can be heard.

"We've passed on all we know," Luke says, while the camera pans to Rey's lightsaber -- one that she must have built herself.

Star wars episode ix teaser trailer stills rey

"A thousand generations live in you, now," Luke's voiceover says as Rey draws her weapon.

In the distance on the planet, the distinctive buzz of TIE fighter type vehicles can be heard.

"But this is your fight," Luke's voice says with encouragement as Rey braces for what is coming.

As the First Order vehicle races along the sand-covered terrain towards Rey, she runs, only to do a massive backflip.

She ignites her lightsaber's blue (that's significant!) blade, and flips through the air.

It's clear that the First Order pilot is in for a rude awakening.

Viewers are then treated to a series of shots of planet surfaces, ships, and familiar faces.

Notably, Kylo Ren, his faulty red lightsaber in hand, subdues an unknown opponent who appears to be wielding a crude melee weapon.

In the background, a First Order trooper appears to be participating in the fight.

We also see a repaired and modified version of Kylo's infamous mask, now laced with red.

He does not appear to be wearing it during any of the trailer's scenes, however.

Lando Calrissian makes his cinematic return, piloting the Millennium Falcon.

Most emotionally evocative of all, we see scenes of General Leia Organa, portrayed by the late, great Carrie Fisher.

As promised, these are not motion capture scenes, but made from unused footage from the first two films.

Watching these powerful scenes in theaters is going to exact an emotional toll upon us all.

"We will always be with you," Luke's voice promises.

Then, as Rey and her companions -- including Finn and Poe -- look out upon what may be the remains of the second Death Star, Luke makes another promise.

"No one is ever really gone," he assures Rey, acknowledging that those closely connected to the Force can endure beyond physical death.

This is when the most surprising moment of the teaser occurs.

Viewers hear wonderful, terrible laughter -- distinctively belonging to the best character in all of Star Wars canon: Palpatine.

Finally, the trailer reveals the film's title: Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker.

Star wars episode ix title reveal

At Star Wars Celebration, after the lights came back on, the audience exclaimed with joy -- because there was a new actor on stage.

That actor was Ian McDiarmind -- who plays Emperor Sheev Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious.

(Everyone has their preferences, but he plays one of the most iconic and best-conceived characters in all of fiction)

Plenty of people's eyes (mine included) teared up with joy at this stunning surprise.

Star wars episode ix teaser trailer stills lando flies

Obviously, fans have so many questions.

Who is the "Skywalker" mentioned in the title? Is Kylo Ren going to foresake the Dark Side and claim his birthright as a descendant of Anakin?

Or is Rey secretly, somehow descended from the Skywalker lineage, despite what appeared to be clear denials.

And speaking of Rey, where did she find the kyber crystal that powers her new lightsaber?

How much time has passed in the story since the end of the controversial The Last Jedi?

What role will Palpatine play in the film? Will his return, engineered through technology or perhaps Sith sorcery, make him the final villain?

For that ... we'll have to wait for the premiere this December.

Kendra Caldwell: Did Joseph Duggar Really STEAL Her From His Brother Jedidiah?!

Earlier this week, we learned that Kendra Caldwell is pregnant with her second child.

The news came as a surprise to fans, as Joseph Duggar's wife just welcomed her first child in June of 2018.

Garrett Duggar Photo

Of course, the Duggars are unusual in their devotion to procreation, but that's not the only way in they're unlike other families.

As you're probably aware, the Duggar courtship rules comprise a bizarre custom designed to pair up young couples -- very young couples, in some cases -- to ensure that they'll be able to begin breeding as early as possible.

The majority of Duggar courtships result in marriage -- but that's not always the case.

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar Announcement

The most famous example of a Counting On romance that did not go according to plan is the courtship of Josiah Duggar and Marjorie Jackson, which resulted in a secretive breakup.

But it looks as though that's not the only instance in which a Duggar parted ways with his first courtship partner.

In June of 2017, The Hollywood Gossip interviewed a former employee of the Duggars' who informed us that prior to her relationship with Joseph, Kendra was courted by Jedidiah Duggar.

Joseph and Kendra Duggar and Son

The tipster told us that Joseph took an interest in Kendra during her relationship with his brother, and he promptly "bumped [Jedidiah] out."

Understandably, there was a period of hostility between the brothers that ended only when Jed wrote a letter granting his blessing for Joe to pursue a relationship with Kendra.

Jed is four years younger than Joseph, and that may have entered into Jim Bob's thinking when it came time to help settle the conflict between brothers.

Jedediah Duggar

The Duggars are part of the Quiverfull movement, which holds that it's the responsibility of every Christian to have as many children as possible in order to populate the Earth with believers.

As such, Jim Bob would likely prefer to see his 22-year-old married off before his 18-year-old son, with the thinking that the younger brother still has plenty of time to find a partner.

For obvious reasons, the Duggars worked hard to bury this scandal, and for the most part, they were successful in doing so. 

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell on TLC

Our source tells us this is far from the only time that the family swept such an incident under the carpet, knowing it wouldn't sit well with their conservative fan base.

"There's a whole world that goes on that really isn't so," says the insider.

"When the cameras aren't rolling, it's a whole different life."

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar Baby

The insider confirmed that Jim Bob has worked hard to create an illusory world that's to the liking of millions of fans over the years.

He sees his role as a media mogul as his divine calling, and the millions he's made as a TV star as his reward for spreading his unique gospel.

And Jim Bob will reportedly do anything in his power to prevent his carefully-constructed facade from crumbling, including burying any sign of an awkward love triangle.

Kim Kardashian: Kanye Is Off His Meds & He's Helping Me Become a Lawyer!

Earlier this week, we learned that Kim Kardashian hopes to become a lawyer by passing the bar in 2022.

No, Kim will not be attending law school, and will instead seek to exploit a loophole by apprenticing at a San Francisco firm from now until the time of the exam.

Kim Kardashian Interviewed in Vegas

Kim says she's always been interested in the law, but she only seriously considered becoming a lawyer after working with Donald Trump to secure presidential pardons for Alice Johnson and other non-violent offenders, some of whom were serving life sentences.

But while the notion that becoming a lawyer is a real possibility may be a new one to Kim insiders say the dream has been with her since childhood, when she worshipped her attorney father, Robert Kardashian Sr.

“Getting a law degree is not a new dream for Kim, it’s something she’s talked about over the years,” a source close to the situation tells Hollywood Life.

Smiling with Kim

“But until recently it was very abstract. It wasn’t until she started working prison reform that it became a real possibility in her mind."

Kim is well aware that the road ahead won't be an easy one -- especially with a fourth kid on the way -- but she believes she can clear any hurdle with the help of her husband.

"Kanye’s limitless love helped make this happen too," says the insider.

Kim Kardashian, Very Low Neckline

"He believes in her so much, that absolutely helps her believe more in herself and her abilities.”

“Even though Kim is going the non-traditional route and is doing an apprenticeship that doesn’t mean she isn’t studying course material and doing assignments, she’s very much a student of law right now and she loves it.”

The source says Kim is every bit as ambitious as she seems, but her desire for a law degree has more to do with helping others than with her own earning potential.

Kim Kardashian Vogue Cover, May 2019

“This isn’t about her wanting to go out and start a law practice," says the insider.

"It is about her wanting to be able to take advantage of the unique position she is in to help people that have been unjustly locked up and wanting to do the best job she can for them.

“Kim is taking classes to learn more about law and how everything works," the informant adds.

Kim Kardashian Wears Beret

"Whether it's her empire, her businesses or using her knowledge to help in criminal reform, those are the major reasons she is tackling law."

And as a bonus, she gets to take part in the vocation that her father held in such high esteem,

“Plus it makes her feel closer to her Dad," says the source.

"Its something special to her because she knows it would have been special to him. It takes her away from her normal life and day to day happenings of being a celebrity that she normally has to deal with.

Kim Kardashian on Watch What Happens Live

"She feels this is one more puzzle piece into the person she wants to become, she is always striving to be better.”

In the same Vogue interview in which she revealed her plans to become a lawyer, Kim spoke candidly about Kanye's struggle with mental illness.

"It is an emotional process, for sure," she added.

"Right now everything is really calm. But we can definitely feel episodes coming, and we know how to handle them."

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian for Versace

Kim said that after several attempts at chemical treatment, West has come to realize that medication "is not really an option, because it changes who he is." 

She also revealed that she's distressed by the criticism she receives from those who believe she doesn't do enough to rein in her husband's erratic behavior:

"But I think some of the hurtful things that I read online ... What is she doing? She's not stopping him," Kim said.

Kanye and a Kid

"Like it's my fault if he does or says something that they don't agree with?" she said.

"That's my husband. I share every opinion that I have and let him know when I think something's wrong."

A very measured diplomatic response to what we're sure is a very touchy subject.

Hey, maybe Kim has a future in politics once she passes the bar!

21 Utterly Asinine Duggar Family Rules, Prohibited Behaviors & Items

$

The Duggar family's unusual dating rules have been well documented, even before the Arkansans were embroiled in scandals.

Once Josh Duggar's child molestation history - and rampant adultery - was exposed, they've been under a microscope since.

Yet, despite his hypocrisy, and the fact that their every move is under heavy scrutiny, the family continues to weather the storm.

TLC axed 19 Kids & Counting, only to quickly come back with Counting On, featuring the same Duggars and the same beliefs.

Well, sans Josh. That's a bridge too far for even the hardest core believers. But when it comes to core values, they stand firm.

Their belief system certainly requires real conviction in order to practice, since their list of policies for love and life is not short.

Despite Joy-Anna Duggar breaking rules, or signs of hope like Jinger rebelling and Jill distancing herself, the rules are no joke.

Here are 21 things the Duggars specifically do not allow ...

1. Dates Without Chaperones

Duggar daughters
The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain "accountability" and "keep things from going in the wrong direction," per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave "moral danger." When the parents aren't available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.

2. Non-Group Texts

Jessa duggar and ben seewald engagement
Even in the kids' late teens and early 20s, mom and dad are creeping on their text messages. When Ben Seewald jokingly wrote to fiancee Jessa, "Give me a ring," Jim Bob actually jumped in on the group text, writing "No ring yet." With a smiley face emoticon. Seriously, he did that. Whatever you think of him, Jim Bob needs his own Instagram so he can start posting screen shots of this stuff.

3. Hugs on the Chest

Derick and jill dillard pregnant
This moment you see here between Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard would not have been permitted until the couple was married. Side hugs are the preferred method of PDA in order to prevent any further temptation or "hanky panky," as has been well documented on 19 Kids and Counting. The Duggars love their side hugs so hard ... though not too too hard, lest they lead to full-frontal hugging. And any touching beyond that? Save it for your wedding night.

4. Riding in Cars Together

Kendra caldwell joseph duggar
It’s no secret that the Duggars have strict dating rules. We've talked about some already and there are plenty more to come on this list. But one of the most bizarre was revealed only recently in an episode in which Joseph and Kendra Caldwell officially started courting. They were seen in a car, driving together ... with one of the younger Duggar sitting in between them in the front seat of a pickup truck. Shortly after the courtship "proposal," she was allowed to slide almost all the way over to Joseph. Not close enough for any inappropriate touching, obviously, but without another dude in between, which is mandatory during the “just friends” phase. Wow.

5. Co-Ed Hide and Seek

Duggars
In the wake of the Josh Duggar molestation scandal going public years later, Jim Bob and Michelle gave in interview in which they talked about all of the things they did in its aftermath. In between blaming Josh’s indiscretions on being a curious pubescent boy, they discussed family rules that resulted from this, such as the children no longer being allowed to play co-ed hide and seek. That's right, no two children regardless of age are allowed to go off alone, even in the context of this childhood pastime. How much that really helps the situation they were responding to remains to be seen.

6. Alcohol

This is probably an obvious one if you know anything about the Duggars. The family does not smoke or drink. They do, however, enjoy the occasional sugary dessert or getting high on life and love.

90 Day Fiance The Other Way: New Spinoff Announces Premiere Date!

This July, Chantel and Pedro's 90 Day Fiance spinoff will premiere on TLC for the first time.

But The Family Chantel isn't the only spinoff that's been in the works, and another will premiere even earlier than that.

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way will have its series premiere sooner than you ever imagined.

Steven and Olga in Russia, With Love

In a press release about the exciting new series in the popular franchise, TLC teases what viewers can expect from The Other Way.

"Viewers are familiar with the premise of hit 90 Day Fiance," the statement begins.

In case anyone had somehow missed it, the statement reminds them: "when an American brings their partner from abroad."

But there's a catch to the K-1 visa process, and it's right there in the show's name.

"And has only 90 days to marry them," the statement notes. "Or have their partner leave the country."

In some cases, stars on 90 Day Fiance have never met in person before that 90 day countdown begins.

Karine and Paul Staehle

"But in this new spinoff series," the statement continues. "They’ll find out what happens when love flows in the opposite direction."

As previously reported, this spinoff will follow Americans who move to other countries instead of the other way around.

In this case, the term 90 Day Fiance becomes a bit of a stretch.

Different nations have different policies on immigration and immigration for marriage.

The United States' policies on immigration and visas are notoriously strict.

Nicole Nafziger and Azan Tefou for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?

This series will be flipping the (non) script and showing viewers how very different the experience can be.

"A collection of Americans make the ultimate sacrifice," TLC describes.

(To be clear, plenty of people moving to the US on the original series came from very nice countries themselves)

The statement continues: "and move across the globe."

TLC notes that they're willing to leave it all behind "for the person they love."

Paola Mayfield, Ashley Martson, and Fernanda Flores

Here, a primarily American audience will see different narratives play out.

"Leaving their American comforts for vastly different ways of life leads to major culture shock," the statement notes.

Much of the world has a fairly reasonable idea of how things are in the United States, largely because of television and film.

Unfortunately, a lack of globally popular media from many countries means that Americans may be ignorant about what to expect.

TLC promises that viewers will watch Americans "as they experience the challenges of relocating for their international love affairs."

Jay Smith, Danielle Mullins Jbali, and Ashley Martson

As always, there is a definite question of whether things will work out in the end ... and whether it was even worth it to try.

"Will uprooting their lives in the United States pay off?" TLC asks.

Living in the most powerful nation on Earth has some drawbacks, but it's a lot to give up.

"Or," the statement concludes. "Will it be the biggest mistake of their lives?"

After all, leaving it all behind for love sounds romantic.

But love can fizzle out in a matter of decades. Or years. Or even months.

Kalani Faagata Debuts Second Baby Bump!

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way premieres in June of this year.

There has been a rumor bouncing around on the internet that one couple who is familiar to viewers will appear on this series.

Some have suspected that Paul and Karine (who just welcomed their baby boy!) will be the ones, since they've been in Brazil this whole dang time.

Even though Steven returned to the US without Olga, it won't be those two, since Olga and baby Alex will follow him in a matter of weeks.

But mostly this spinoff will be about new couples with very different dynamics.

Viewers won't know what to expect until they tune in. Or at least until that first trailer drops.

Angelina Jolie: Desperate to Win Brad Pitt Back?!

Hard to believe, but it's been two and a half years since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt.

Despite countless rumors to the contrary, neither Brad nor Angie has entered a new relationship -- or at least not one serious enough that they want us to know about it.

Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Split

And yet, for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the divorce has yet to be finalized.

Obviously, Brad and Angelina are both independently wealthy, and sources say they long ago agreed on custody and visitation arrangements -- so what's holding things up?

Well, if you believe the outlandish report published today by UK tabloid The Sun (and you probably shouldn't) Angie is dragging her feet because she desperately wants Brad back.

Angelina Jolie Looks Gorgeous

“Angelina has made it clear to Brad that she wants to be back in a relationship with him," a source tells the tabloid.

"She would like them to be a family again and doesn’t seem capable of moving on," the insider adds.

"That’s why she is making it so difficult for Brad with every detail of their divorce.”

Brad Pitt with a Question

We probably don't need to remind you that it was Jolie who left Pitt, and all the existing intel up to this point has indicated that she stands by the decision.

But according to this bonkers new theory from The Sun, Angelina has gone full Fatal Attraction, and Brad has no choice but to put up with it for fear that she'll take his kids away.

Yep -- they went there:

Brad Pitt = Handsome

“Brad has consistently kept his mouth shut because all he cares about is his kids," the source says.

"Angelina is making it horrendous for him and drawing out the process, but it’s not going to make him consider going back.

"He just wants it all settled — in reality, this could have been over a year ago — but she won’t let go.”

Angelina Jolie with a Smirk

Look, we may never find out what exactly happened between Brad and Maddox in that airplane that led Angie to the abrupt decision to end her 10-year relationship with the father of her children.

But we think it's safe to say that whatever went down -- it was pretty ugly.

That's one of many reasons that this latest theory is so unexpected -- and why it's almost certainly BS.

Remember this piece highly-ethical reportage next time you see one of The Sun's daily takedowns of Meghan Markle.

Last year, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in front of an international TV audience. Now they're expecting a baby.

Maybe you've heard that at some point.

The 37-year-old former actress is the envy of millions of women these days, but the road to royalty wasn't an easy one.

Heck, it's still not exactly a walk in the park, based on the alleged William-Harry feud and her treatment by the media.

But, to our original point, Meg got her start in Hollywood as most people do - by taking on gigs she'd rather forget now.

Fortunately for us, many of that acting and modeling work Markle took on to pay the bills yielded unforgettable images.

For us. And Harry, most likely.

Not convinced? Scroll down for some Meg career highlights ... before becoming a Duchess and mother-to-be of course.

1. Meghan at Age 22

This photo of Meghan when she was a 22-year-old aspiring model has been making the rounds online lately. Obviously, she looked great then, but is it us, or has she only gotten hotter with age?

2. The Role Suits Her

You probably already know that Meghan made a name for herself as an actress on the USA Network legal drama Suits. But if you never watched the show, you may not realize how risqué some of her scenes were.

3. Meghan as Rachel

Meghan frequently delivered the corporate hotness playing a paralegal on the long-running series. Of course, the show sometimes followed her out of the boardroom, as well...

4. Showing Some Leg

Yes, Suits frequently delved into Meghan's character's sex life. And for that, we are eternally grateful.

5. Topless Meg

Meg occasionally stripped down for her role. The show was on basic cable, so she never went fully nude, but still ... a lot more skin than we're accustomed to seeing from royals.

6. Nude on Suits

At one point, Meghan did strip down entirely. She was covered by a blanket, but she didn't skimp on the side-nudity.

Kristen Cavallari: Jay Cutler Sucks! (On My Nipples For Medical Reasons)

It seems Kristen Cavallari has one important thing in common with millions of Chicago Bears and Miami Dolphins fans:

She shares their opinion that Jay Cutler sucks!

Jay Cutler & Kristin Cavallari: Michigan Avenue Magazine Celebration

Of course, Cavallari's view has nothing to do with Cutler's performance on the field, or his behavior in post-game press conferences.

Allow us to explain:

The second season of Kristen's reality show, Very Cavallari, is soon to come to an end, and while that might not generate as much excitement as, say, the final episodes of Game of Thronesthe series apparently contains plot twists every bit as shocking as the Red Wedding.

For example, we learn that Jay's sucking skills are so sophisticated he can use them to save a life!

It seems that while she was breastfeeding, Kristin suffered from a severely clogged milk duct.

"Major clogged ducts," she tells her friends in the clip above.

"Jay had to get them out for me, sucking harder than he’s ever sucked ... and you know what? Saved my life."

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler Vacation Pic

Yes, Jay Cutler saved a freaking life with his oral nipple-manipulating abilities.

Sure, during his NFL career, Cutler was a bit of a choke artist, and a hangnail was enough to sideline the guy for a playoff game, but have any of your elite QBs ever performed life-saving mouth-to-boob resuscitation?

Would Tom Brady be ready hoover a Gisele nip in the event of a lactic malfunction?

We think not!

Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler Toast 2016

Can you expect Aaron Rodgers to apply tongue and teeth as needed to rescue Danica Patrick's jugs from a career-ending wreck?

Ha! The only dairy product that diva's interested in is the cheese atop the heads of the Lambeau faithful. 

No, when it comes to restoring the healthy flow of life-giving mammary juice, you need a workhorse like Mr. Fourth Quarter himself.

Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari

Of course, it's not all sucked ducts and rainbows in the Cutler-Cavallari household.

The trailer also features some darker moments, like when Kristin accused Jay of failing to encourage her in following her dreams.

"When you were playing football, I had to give up my whole life," she says to him at one point.

Kristin Cavallari & Jay Cutler in Mexico

"I don't feel that same support from you."

Far be it for us to stand up for Jay freakin' Cutler -- a man who spent his entire career wishing he could somehow make millions playing for a league with zero fans -- but we feel the need to point out that the duct incident should buy him at least a few weeks of consequence-free douchiness.

It's really all he's ever wanted.

Ian Cognito, British Comedian, Dies On Stage

Ian Cognito, a popular British stand-up comedian, passed away on Thursday night while performing a routine at the Atic bar in Bicester, England.

He was 60 years old.

Ian Cognito

According to the bar’s owner, Ryan Mold, per an interview with CNN, Cognito “sat down" at one point in his set, "put his head and arms back; his shoulders were twitching.”

The crowd presumed it was part of his act initially, as Cognito had joked about his health shortly beforehand.

“Imagine if I died in front of you lot here,” he actually, incredibly told attendees.

An ambulance was quickly called after it was clear this was a serious situation because a fellow comedian realized something was legitimately wrong.

Cognito was pronounced dead at the scene upon the arrival of the paramedics.

Andrew Bird, who runs the Lone Wolf Comedy Club, told BBC News that Cognito was not feeling well before he went on stage, yet he wanted to perform anyway. 

Ian Cognito image

Cognito began performing as a comic in the mid-1980s.

He was best known for envelope-pushing comedy, claiming to have been banned from more clubs than any other comedian in all of Great Britain.

One of his signature bits involved hammering a nail into the wall and hanging his hat on it.

“This lets you know two things about me,” he explained. “Firstly, I really don’t give a sh-t. Secondly, I’ve got a hammer.”

That's pretty funny.

Cognito earned Time Out Comedy Award in 1999, earning respect of countless comedians over the years.

Many of them paid tribute to him on social media after learning of Cognito's death.

Tweeted Jack Whitehall:

“Gigged with him when i first started out and he was always so much fun, had his own mythology on the circuit his exploits where [sic] legendary. A true maverick. Hope he’s found somewhere to hang his coat in heaven.”

And Jimmy Carr:

"I’ll never forget his kindness when I started out & how god damn funny he was."

And Matt Lucas:

“He was always kind to me when I started out, and brilliant and provocative and entirely original onstage. What a loss."

We echo the sentiments of those who knew Ian Cognito.

We send our condolences to his friends, family members and loved ones.

May he rest on stage.

Wendy Williams Divorce Drama: What Does Her Filing Reveal?

As previously reported, it is all over for Wendy Williams and Kevin Hunter.

AT LAST.

In the wake of this announcement, we have a handful of updates about the talk show host finally splitting from her terrible husband, starting with details from her divorce filing...

Wendy Williams Poses

In court papers obtained from a New Jersey Court house by Radar Online, Williams completed her documents and filed her complaint for divorce from Hunter on Wednesday, April 10.

She cited irreconcilable differences as the basis for the couple's split.

“There exists irreconcilable differences between the parties, which have caused the breakdown of the marriage for a period of six (6) months and which make it appear that the marriage should be dissolved as there is no reasonable prospect of reconciliation,” the paper read, adding:

This would appear to be the understatement of the century.

Wendy Williams on Her Throne

According to numerous outlets, Hunter has been cheating on Williams with a woman named Sharina Hudson for several years.

Williams acknowledged these rumors on occasion, never truly shooting them down on her progra, but simply confirming to viewers that she was committed to her marriage for the rest of time.

So... what happened?

Hudson allegedly got pregnant by Hunter... Williams suffered a relapse and ended up in a sober living facility... Hudson then gave birth to Hunter's baby... and Williams them got so drunk in response that she was rushed to the hospital.

So, basically, a lot happened.

Too much for Williams to remain in the marriage.

Wendy Williams with a Tear

Williams is demanding the marriage be dissolved, that the court equitably divide the parties’ marital property and that the appropriate amount of child support be established, based on these documents.

Williams married Hunter on November 30, 1999 in a civil ceremony in New Jersey.

They share an 18-year old son named Kevin.

After news of this divorce went viral, fans wondered what Williams would say about the decision on air.

Would she mention it at all?

Wendy Williams is Back!

Yes, in very broad terms.

“Honey, I have got a situation going on. We’ve got to get this show done quickly,” Williams said during Friday’s Wendy Williams Show, which was taped on Thursday, April 11.

She added:

"My ankles and my feet are swelling as we speak. … This here is embarrassing.”

While she did open up about her body part “situation,” Williams did not bring up the divorce news specifically.

But it's out there, of course.

And Williams has been receiving some support from other talk show hosts in the wake of the break-up.

Wendy Williams Close Up

“I think if everything that’s alleged is true, it’s about damn time,” Sheryl Underwood declared yesterday's installment of The Talk.

“We wish her the best," Sara Gilbert added on this same show.

The View also touched on Wendy's drama, with Meghan McCain telling viewers and her co-panelists:

“This is a woman who looks like she’s in a lot of pain. I wish her nothing but love and compassion.

"Being vulnerable on TV — when she was talking about living in a halfway house, I actually cried when I watched it. … She’s in a lot of pain. She’s a real talent. I wish her nothing but compassion and love, and I hope she comes back to her show better and stronger than ever.

"Screw that guy. She doesn’t need him!”

Wendy Williams Set Pic

Joy Behar mentioned how Hunter also cheated on Williams in 2001, after she gave birth to their son, while Abby Huntsman delivered a message to Williams that reads as follows:

“We are rooting for you. We hope you come back and you feel good.”

Amen, right?

Briana DeJesus: Devoin Austin Almost KILLED Our Daughter!

If you've been keeping up with Briana DeJesus for any amount of time, then you know that she has troubled relationships with both of her children's fathers.

Stella's dad, Luis, is basically just a deadbeat.

But Briana's relationship with Devoin Austin, Nova's father, has always been a little more complicated.

We've seen Devoin try to be more active in Nova's life only to be pushed away by Briana, but in the current season of Teen Mom 2, things have been changing.

They're actually getting along now, believe it or not, and it's been nice to see.

Except everything's changed over a scary incident last week ... an incident in which Nova could have literally died.

What's going on?!

1. Jumping Right In

Briana dejesus photograph
There's so much to get through here, so let's just get right to it -- last week, Briana tweeted something about how she wished she could show her girls' fathers "what parenting is really like," and when someone said that Devoin at least could step up, she replied with "No he couldn’t. He f-cked up big time and I’ll never trust him again."

2. Uh Oh

Briana is all smiles
Later, she added “Lol I gave that man an inch and he took a whole f-cking yard and ducked up bad and Nova is never allowed to be with him alone again."

3. One Day ...

Briana dejesus and lollipop
Her followers wanted to know what happened, because of course they did, but she said “One day you guys will see what happened, til now there’s no reason to sell this story to the press. I just wanna move on with my life.”

4. Surprise!

Briana dejesus look at me
But it turns out that "one day" will just be in a few weeks when the Teen Mom 2 reunion show airs. We know that because someone in attendance revealed on Reddit that “Bri is pissed at Devoin right now because of something that happened last week, but Devoin owned up to it and the crowd loved him."

5. Oh Wow

Briana dejesus and nova
The person then elaborated by explaining “He got really drunk on one of Nova’s visits, which was supposed to be an overnight. They were at a pool while he was drunk and apparently Nova can’t swim. Bri picked Nova up – nothing happened to her, but now Bri isn’t comfortable with Nova going there alone.”

6. And Here We Go

So that's a pretty big deal, right? And that's what set off the insane rant Briana went on last night.
