Brandi Redmond Contemplates Another Adoption After Learning Son's Biological Mother Is Pregnant

Will Brandi Redmond be welcoming a fourth child to her family?

During Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of Dallas, Brandi, 41, revealed some surprising news regarding her 22-month-old son’s birth mother.

“There’s a very crazy situation,” Brandi told castmate Stephanie Hollman after taping their podcast, Weekly Dose of BS. “Bruin’s biological mother, I was notified that she’s pregnant again. She’s already apparently giving the baby up to the state. It’s all very preliminary. They said there are a lot of scenarios, but they wanted to let us know that we would be the first people.”

“Because they want to see the family together,” Hollman, 39, said.

But Brandi, who shares daughters Brooklyn, 10, and Brinkley, 7, with husband Bryan, was admittedly torn over the possibility of having another child.

“I don’t want to cry about it because I just don’t know if I could handle another one,” said Brandi. “I feel like I’m overwhelmed with the three that I have. I feel torn in so many different directions sometimes.”

In a confessional, Hollman said that Brandi was already “stressed” having three children.

“If Brandi adopted another baby, she would need full-time help because she’s already in over her head,” Hollman told cameras. “She’s very stressed out. I worry about her being able to handle four children.”

“I called Bryan and started crying to him on the phone on the way here,” Brandi said about notifying her husband. “Just because I was like, ‘I just don’t know.’ ”

Hollman voiced her concerns to her costar. “I think you’re overwhelmed,” she responded. “Think about what you and Bryan want for the baby, what you want for your family. It’s so hard. That’s a lot of pressure.”

Said Brandi, “Even like, just looking at Bruin … I know how much I love him.”

“You don’t want him to not experience his sibling,” Hollman shared. “You have a son who you would do anything for. And you’re trying to figure out what the right move is for not only for your family, but for him. I totally get that.”

Still, the mother of three was uncertain if she had what it would take to add another child to the mix.

“I don’t know if I can physically handle it,” Brandi said. “And emotionally I’m breaking down because of it.”

In May 2018, the RHOD couple revealed they had adopted their infant son Bruin Charles in the winter of 2018.

“It’s changed our lives forever,” Brandi previously told PEOPLE exclusively of their new addition. “We are obsessed with him, my whole family is. We’re just so blessed.”

The couple’s son — born prematurely on Dec. 31, 2017 weighing 4 lbs., 5 oz., and measuring 18 inches, and adopted via a closed adoption — has been a “perfect fit” for the family.

The Real Housewives of Dallas airs Wednesdays (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

See Nicki Minaj Flash Her Massive Wedding Ring with Husband Kenneth Petty Dressed Up for Halloween

Nicki Minaj may have had a “low-key” wedding, but her wedding ring is anything but discreet.

The 36-year-old rapper flaunted her new jewelry in a silly video shared to Instagram in which she and new husband Kenneth Petty are dressed up in Halloween costumes as Chucky and Chucky’s bride.

“A small word from Jennifer Tilley as #TheBrideOfChucky🔪 Heavy on the Sleeze 🛠 🎃🤵🏽👰🏽 🎈” Minaj captioned the video, in which Petty jokes about how he got her massive ring.

“Hello Chucky,” Minaj says to her husband in the clip. “Well Chucky, I love you and everybody says that you secured the bag. You married a multimillionaire and you secured the bag.”

Petty then chimes in saying “You know I just cut somebody motherf—— finger off for that ring.”

“You mean I didn’t buy this ring?” Minaj replies seemingly in response to fans speculating that she purchased the massive rock.

“No you didn’t buy that ring,” Petty says adding, “And what do you mean I secured the bag? You got your citizenship, your green card.”

Minaj was born in Saint James, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago and raised in Jamaica, Queens, New York.

“Oh thank you, Chucky because you are American I can now fill out paperwork to vote,” Minaj jokes.

The ring was designed by Rafaello and Co., and some close-up shots of both Minaj and Petty’s wedding band were shared on the jeweler’s Instagram account.

“Congrats to the King and Queen, We wish you both lots of love and happiness together,” the caption reads. “Thank you for trusting us with designing and making these very special pieces for you both. @nickiminaj

The “Super Bass” singer announced last week that she and Petty had officially tied the knot, although she often called Petty her “husband” in the past.

Minaj broke the news by sharing a video on Instagram that showed off matching “Mr.” and “Mrs.” coffee mugs and baseball caps, writing in the caption, “👰🏽🤵🏽😢🙏🏽🎀 Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty 10•21•19”

After the pair started dating in late 2018 — they went Instagram official last December — they got a marriage license in June 2019.

“We did get our marriage license,” she said at the time. “I think I have what I was striving for, just happiness. It was so hard to get to a happy place. Now that I’m there, I don’t want to compromise that for anyone or anything.”

She also dropped hints to fans back in August, revealing her Queen Radio show that she and Petty would be married in “about 80 days.”

Since they started dating, Petty has been regularly featured on Minaj’s Instagram feed, and he even starred alongside her in her “Megatron” music video.

In the video, Minaj and Petty soak in a hot tub as she sings, “I f— him like I miss him / He just came out of prison” — a line that fans interpreted as reference to Petty’s criminal record (He is a registered sex offender in the state of New York and served time in prison for manslaughter after being convicted in 2002).

While Petty’s criminal past has been a concern to some fans, Minaj is nonplussed.

She clapped back to critics on Instagram in December, writing, “He was 15, she was 16 … in a relationship. But go awf Internet. Y’all can’t run my life. Y’all can’t even run y’all own life. Thank you boo.”

Danielle Bregoli Throws Down With Woah Vicky And Claims She Won The Fight

According to a report from TMZ.com, Danielle Bregoli, also known as Bhad Bhabie, is 100% convinced she didn’t lose her fight with her fellow social media star, Woah Vicky, stating that Vicky simply didn’t fight fair and the men involved didn’t either.

Bhad Bhabie sparred with Vicky in the early hours of Wednesday morning in Atlanta, Georgia, where she reportedly went to confront her nemesis, Vicky, at a studio where she was working with the rapper, Lil Gotit.

In addition to talking a bit of smack to each other, the two stars eventually threw down. Moreover, TMZ got their hands on footage of the incident and it looks like Vicky managed to get the best of the reality star who first came to prominence on the set of Dr. Phil.

On her social media account, Danielle claimed Vicky managed to have a very firm grip on her hair, but in spite of this fact, Woah Vicky never managed to punch her directly in the face, and therefore, she didn’t really win the fight.

Moreover, Danielle Bregoli claims she won the fight by getting her hands on Vicky. Bregoli claims the men who got involved managed to hold her back, and for that reason, she was never able to fight the girl to the best of her ability.

As fans of the pair know, this wouldn’t be the first time they’ve fought with each other. Last year in Los Angeles, Bhabie and Vicky fought each other while in a shopping mall. Moreover, Lil Tay was in the mix as well – claims TMZ.

Despite the fact Lil Tay’s star power has since faded, it appears as though the bad blood between Bhad Bhabie and Woah Vicky is still ongoing, and it’s unclear how long it’s going to go on for. As it was noted in passing above, Bregoli first came to prominence for her appearence on Dr. Phil, in which she said, “cash me outside, how bout dah?” to the host.

After the clip went viral online, Bregoli secured a significant following online, and she was subsequently signed by Atlantic Records and given a rap deal.



Bella Thorne Dresses Up As A Girl Scout For Halloween And People Have Mixed Feelings About It

Bella Thorne dressed up as a girl scout for Halloween and people have mixed feelings about it. Bella doesn’t shy away from her sexuality, but some feel that sexualizing girl scouts isn’t something that should be done, especially in the MeToo generation. Girls must be between the ages of 5-years-old and 18-years-old to be a girl scout, and most girls who sell cookies with the organization are minors.

Because of this, some feel that Bella Thorne’s sexualizing the girl scouts is inappropriate.

Before revealing her girl scout costume, Bella showed off her incredible makeup art skills by sharing several photos where she looked as if she had been beaten with a bloody lip, a black eye, and bruises on her face.

Those photos went viral and many thought she was giving hints about her Halloween costume but on Wednesday, Bella unveiled the photos of her wearing the girl scouts costume.

Bella shared the following caption with the controversial photos.

“COOKIE DELIVERY 😍.”

COOKIE DELIVERY 😍

A post shared by BELLA (@bellathorne) on

The photo has more than 600,000 likes and over 1700 comments. Bella Thorne has opened up about being sexually abused as a child, but she hasn’t come forward to say who it was that abused her.

She’s also a published author and earlier in October, she won the PornHub Vision award for the best directorial debut. It was  PornHub’s second year giving out the award and Bella won it for her pornographic movie Him & Her.

Though Bella is known for being an outspoken advocate for women’s rights and is in charge of her own sexuality, some think that sexualizing outfits worn by children sends the wrong message.

Here are the photos that Bella shared showing off her makeup application skills before she shared the pictures of herself wearing the controversial costume.

What do you think about Bella Thorne’s girl scout’s costume? Do you agree with those who say it sexualizes an organization that is geared towards children?

Do you think those who are criticizing the costume are overreacting or do you feel it is inappropriate?



Cat Marnell Reveals She’s Living Her Best Life After Nearly Destroying Her Life

According to a report from Page Six, Cat Marnell has made some significant life changes in recent years. Following the release of her popular memoir, How To Murder Your Life, the ex-fashion editor admitted in her book that she emigrated to Europe and never considered the US again.

Speaking with reporters from the aforementioned outlet, Marnell shared the struggles she endured from the past, including her challenges with substance abuse, as well as how it all managed to finally come together.

Marnell said to the outlet that despite not being 100% sober, she’s doing a lot fewer drugs than many of the entertainment industry women in LA. Reportedly, Marnell used to abuse Adderall significantly, and according to her, she hasn’t used it in over two years.

The writer referred to it as “arsenic,” for her psychology. Moving on from the past, however, shows that Marnell is doing much better than she ever has been. Regarding her new healthy lifestyle, the former fashion editor explained that her health was “too good,” and she’s been eating extremely healthy, as well as working out.

According to Marnell, while she’s still taking amphetamines, she’s taking them in a very controlled and inhibited way, that doesn’t get her high and doesn’t affect her circadian rhythm either. Marnell described her energy, spirit, and her brain as the most “precious jewels.”

As for what’s in store for the future, Marnell explained that Sony TriStar is actually intending on turning her memoir into a TV series. Moreover, she just got finished releasing an Audible Original called, Self-Tanner For The Soul: How I Ran Away To Europe and Found My Inner Glow.

In addition to having a new TV series coming out using her work, Cat stated she’s working on yet another book while she hangs out with her man, Jono Namara.

The former fashion editor admitted she would be writing the book in an East London cabin, however, it depends on whether she can convince her man to come out or not.



Vanderpump Rules – Lala Kent Shades Scheana Shay While Sharing Season 8 Secrets

Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent just spilled some hot tea for Season 8, and the 29-year-old dished on everything from James Kennedy’s amazing transformation to Ariana Madix’s big breakthrough. Kent also threw some major shade at her co-star Scheana Shay, as Kent claimed that Shay is fake when the cameras are rolling.

Kent appeared on The Domenick Nati Show, and when the host asked her which VPR star changes the most when cameras start rolling, Kent didn’t hesitate with her answer.

“Scheana,” said Kent. “She’s so cool when you’re just hanging out with her. And, the second a camera comes toward her, a microphone, even a phone to do a Snapchat or Instagram Story, there’s something about her that just changes and it’s the craziest thing. But, she’s like night and day when it comes to cameras turning on versus when she’s hanging out and being a normal chick.”

The Vanderpump Rules star added that she wished fans could see Shay off-camera because she’s “the most down b*tch you’ll ever meet.” After giving her answer, Kent said she was sure she’d get a phone call from Shay asking questions about why she said her name. But, she felt she had to be truthful and “spill the hot tea” instead of giving a boring answer.

Kent also revealed that in the past, James Kennedy was her least trustworthy co-star because he’s used things against her that she’s told him in private. She says that even though everyone on VPR does that, Kennedy “goes for the jugular” after he’s had a few cocktails.

But now, Kennedy is a changed man, and Kent says she can’t wait for fans to see Season 8 because they will witness his transformation. Kent believes that people are going to be so shocked that they are going to have a soft spot for him.

As for those rumors about Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s marriage already being in trouble, Kent says she is with them all the time, and they argue like a normal, healthy couple. When it comes down to it, Kent believes they will be together forever.

Kent also revealed that Ariana Madix is very different this season because she has a breakthrough. Kent explained that in the past, Madix has been hesitant to talk about her problems and has tried to make it look like everything is roses. But this season, Madix opens up about the issues she is facing, and she thinks that’s great.

When Nati tried to get some details about the feud between rapper 50 Cent and Kent’s fiance Randall Emmett, Kent laughed and said that Emmett paid 50 Cent what he owed and everything is good. However, she is not inviting the rapper to her wedding because it’s the most special day of her life, and she doesn’t see him being there.

Season 8 of Vanderpump Rules premieres later this year on Bravo.



Blink-182 Reveals Why Lil’ Wayne Wasn’t Pleased With Their Collaborative USA Tour

According to a report from Billboard.com, there were a lot of people out there who were thrilled over the idea of getting to see Blink-182 perform with Lil’ Wayne during the summer months, however, the tour didn’t go precisely as they had planned.

For instance, the rapper actually missed several shows and once said on Twitter that he considered quitting the tour during the July 11th set in Virginia. Reportedly, he was greeted by a less-than-positive response from the fans there, however, the Blink members had a different side of the story.

Speaking with reporters from Billboard, the members of the band defended the rapper and explained some of his issues on the tour. When asked if Lil’ Wayne was a “nightmare,” Mark Hoppus stated that Tha Carter V artist wasn’t a nightmare at all.

According to Hoppus, they really only had three problems during the tour, including one incident when Wayne couldn’t get into the venue, and in another case where the police were after him, and then in another where he walked off the stage due to a storm.

According to Hoppus, the part about the story of Weezy leaving the stage had to do with a bad storm in the area, which left thousands of fans outside of the venue, and therefore, not a lot of people in the audience. It was during Wayne’s opening set as well.

Travis Barker, the drummer, additionally stated that it made a lot of sense for Wayne to simply avoid certain situations on account of the police following him around and trying to arrest him. “It’s just not worth it,” Travis added, in reference to the police trying to nail Wayne with marijuana charges.

There’s no question Blink has supported Wayne consistently, moreover, fans can take comfort in the fact Wayne did the same thing for them as well. As it was previously reported, Blink-182 just released their new record on the 20th of September, Nine, and Wayne dropped Tha Carter V in 2018 after years of delays.



Country Singer Kane Brown And Wife Katelyn Welcome First Child

Country singer Kane Brown and his wife, Katelyn have welcomed their first child. The couple announced they are now the proud parents of a baby girl, via Instagram on Wednesday.

“KB3 welcome to the family Kingsley Rose Brown!!!!” wrote the 26-year-old singer, along with a photo of him kissing his wife and their daughter.

The birth of their first child is the dose of happiness the couple needed. Two weeks ago, Kenny Dixson, Kane’s good friend, and drummer in his band was tragically killed in a car accident. The horrible event occurred one day after Kane and Katelyn celebrated their first wedding anniversary.

Four days after the crash, Kane broke down when giving an acceptance speech at the CMT Awards and honoring Dixon. He dedicated the award to a man who died too young and believed in following a crazy dream with Kane.

Kane and Katelyn have now been given the greatest gift in the world, a baby girl. They announced last April they were expanding the family.

“It’s been so hard keeping this a secret!!!!! But the KB’S ARE GONNA BE PARENTS!!! KB3 IM GONNA BE A DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” wrote the country crooner.

Kane’s wife wasted no time sharing her own post full of love for her husband.

“The coolest day of my life by far. I barely could stop laughing / crying to let her get pictures but I am soooooo happy and excited. Kane, I love you so much & am so excited to have an addition to our family to share our everyday fun, travel, & love with,” Katelyn wrote alongside a video of her getting an ultrasound,” she captioned the post.

KB3 ❤ welcome to the family Kingsley Rose Brown!!!!

In May, Kane let it slip on the red carpet at the American Music Awards show the couple was expecting a girl. They revealed the name for their daughter in August, at a baby shower thrown by their good friends Jason Aldean and his wife Brittany. The name Kingsley was written out on ballrooms in several of the social media posts shared from the shower.

Kane Brown and his wife Katelyn welcomed their first child, a daughter this week. They proudly showed off the nursery in preparation for their little bundle of joy. Mom and baby are doing just fine.

Life just got a little more blessed for the Browns. Congrats to Kane and Katelyn on the birth of baby Kingsley.



Tom Arnold Accused Of Anti-Black Racism Due To Joke During Speech

According to a report from BET.com, the Trump-supporting group, Diamond and Silk, are asking for the #MeToo movement proponents to seek out Tom Arnold after he supposedly sent them a series of racialized and seemingly sexist tweets.

Reportedly, in a tweet that has since been deleted, Tom Arnold, who is known for being a Trump critic, detailed what it would be like to paint the aforementioned women as “black caricatures.” The actor/producer stated that he wanted to “investigate every curve and crevice of you tons of fun’s heavenly bodies.”

Arnold went on to tell the women to take off their clothes and get their “big booties butts back into Big Daddy’s hot tub.” He joked that it wasn’t a good idea to bring Streisand, however, because she was too “freaky.” On the 27th of October, Diamond and Silk responded by stating he was guilty of sexually harassing them.

Arnold then responded by referring to old school stereotypes of African-Americans, including fried chicken from Popeyes as well as using the term, “dark meat.” The Soul Plane star added, “racism is not a chicken’s #1 concern before he gets to Popeyes snowflake.”

As fans of Arnold now, this wouldn’t be the first time the actor has found himself at the center of controversy. Reported earlier this year, Tom Arnold referred to his ex-wife, Roseanne Barr, as a racist following her firing from ABC’s Roseanne.

As it was previously reported, Roseanne was on her Twitter account one evening and made several racially charged tweets regarding a former aide to Barack Obama. Speaking with Good Morning Britain on the 4th of June, Monday, the 59-year-old actor explained that he thought that his ex-wife was a racist.

When asked by reporters regarding her views toward people of color, Tom reportedly said to them immediately, “uh, yeah. Yeah, obviously.”

Moreover, Tom indicated he was genuinely surprised that Roseanne became a supporter of Trump, due to the fact both of them knew the president for many years before he took office.

Nicki Minaj, aka Mrs. Kenneth Petty, and her husband may be flaunting their new wedding rings, but let’s talk about their Halloween costumes, shall we? Nicki and Kenneth recently showed off their Harley Quinn and Joker costumes and now the newlyweds are channeling Chucky (Charles Lee Ray) and the Bride of Chucky (Tiffany Valentine-Ray) as they addressed rumors that Nicki Minaj paid for the wedding rings herself.

Renowned celebrity photographer Pol Kurucz shot Nicki and Kenneth for the series that began with the photos of the couple dressed as Harley Quinn and Joker.
