Kim Kardashian Responds to Report She Gave JFK's Bloody Shirt to North: 'I Never Posted' That

Kim Kardashian West is setting the record straight on whether or not she gifted her 6-year-old daughter North former President John F. Kennedy‘s bloody button-down shirt for Christmas.

On Monday, a fan on Twitter called out Refinery29 after the media outlet published a report, which included a photo originally believed to be from the reality star’s Instagram Stories depicting the shirt, which JFK assumably wore on the day he was assassinated in 1963.

“I AM SCREAMING someone tweeted as a joke that Kim Kardashian gifted North JFK’s bloody shirt and Refinery29 wrote about it as if it were true????” the fan wrote on Twitter alongside a grab of the article, highlighting the excerpt “What is North West going to do with JFK’s bloody shirt? And why isn’t it in a museum?”

Kim, 39, promptly responded to the tweet, saying the the screen grab in question is “fake” and a “sick joke.”

“WOW this is obviously fake! @Refinery29 I did not get JFK’s shirt. That is a sick joke that someone tweeted as a fake ig story that I never posted,” Kim wrote.

Refinery29 has since removed the photo and the line about the shirt.

“This story has been updated from the original version. Earlier, it included a falsified Instagram image, which has been removed,” a statement read above the article.

The insensitive joke seems to have stemmed from Kim and her husband Kanye West‘s decision to buy North Michael Jackson‘s jacket.

On Christmas Eve, Kim shared a series of videos on her Instagram Stories, revealing that she and Kanye, 42, had bought North the exact velvet jacket Jackson wore while out with Elizabeth Taylor once.

Kim explained she and Kanye won the jacket in an auction and that “North is a really big Michael Jackson fan.”

Inside the jacket, pictures of the late singer wearing the ensemble alongside Taylor lined the pockets.

“We knew she would love this,” Kim explained in the videos.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star also shared that she had the sleeves of the jacket “tacked up” so that North can wear it now. The hem can also be taken out, so North can wear it later in life as she grows.

“She’s so grateful and excited,” Kim said happily.

The couple’s purchase comes as the public perception of Jackson has become even more divisive since the release of the HBO documentary Leaving Neverland — which resurfaced allegations that he sexually abused young boys.

Leaving Neverland was released in January and focuses on the stories of two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who claim that Jackson sexually abused them both as children.

Prior to his death, the star had repeatedly denied any wrongdoing, and he was acquitted in a child sex abuse case leveled against him in California in 2005.

Still, the documentary had a lasting impact on Jackson’s legacy; several radio stations took Jackson’s hits out of rotation and the star’s 2,700-acre Neverland Ranch (now renamed Sycamore Valley Ranch) was put on the market at 70 percent off its original list price.

Andre 3000 Has Lost The Confidence To Make New Music — The Internet Reminds Him That He Is A Legend

In a time where something as simple as a catchy beat can make you an overnight star, the veterans of music (hip-hop especially) are having a hard time making music that’s true to themselves or choosing to go with what’s popular. In a recent interview, Andre 3000 revealed that he has lost the confidence to make new music.

Half of the iconic group Outkast chatted with Rick Rubin on the Broken Record podcast where he was heartbreakingly transparent.

‘My focus is not there. My confidence is not there. I haven’t been motivated to do a serious project. I’d like to, but it’s just not coming. In my own self, I’m tryna figure out where do I sit. I don’t even know what I am and maybe I’m nothing. Maybe I’m not supposed to be anything,’ the artist started with.

He went on to say: ‘I’m just trying to find out what makes me feel the best right now, and what makes me feel the best is when I just do these random kind of instrumental kind of things. They make me feel the most rebellious.’

The musician also explained that these days — people nitpick everything that he puts out which affects his creative process.

When the interview went viral, social media users reminded Andre that he is a legend and chastised this generation that disrespects the people who paved the way for their favorite artists.

‘And with no ‘confidence’ he would probably drop album of the year so I could not imagine the album he has full confidence in smh’ tweeted one fan.

‘At this point, I would honestly rather have music that Andre isn’t confident in, than pretty much anything coming out today,’ added another.

This fan commented on today’s climate: ‘goats doubting them selves while trash mumble rappers out here actually believing they make good music and calling themselves the best.’

What do you think about Andre 3000’s confession?



Julianne Hough's Husband Brooks Laich Wants to Learn More About His 'Intimacy & Sexuality' in 2020

Brooks Laich is ready for some self-exploration in 2020.

The How Men Think podcaster shared a list of goals for the new year on his Instagram Stories, including his hope to “learn more about intimacy and my sexuality.”

Other goals on his list included wanting to be “open to all things and present in my relationships” and creating “more space in my day.” He also said he’s excited about “stepping into a new version of me.”

In an Instagram post, Laich, 36, added that he’s been “doing some reflecting, and some looking ahead” as the new year approaches.

“I’m always working on becoming a better man, a better version of me, and it always starts with a vision of who that person is. Knowing where I am, and where I want to go, are equally important,” he wrote. “It’s a new decade coming, a new sense of hope and opportunity – and a chance to step into an improved version of you.”

Earlier this year, Laich’s wife Julianne Hough revealed that the couple have consulted a sex educator to determine their “erotic blueprints” and how sexually compatible they are.

“When I took the test, I realized that there were certain things that gave me connection and intimacy that were different than what gave Brooks connection and intimacy,” Hough, 31, said, adding that “by almost learning each other’s language — sort of like love languages — it was almost like a menu of how we could please each other sexually, but also intimately.”

The pair celebrated two years of marriage this summer, both posting sweet tributes to their significant other on Instagram.

“Words cannot express how grateful I am to have you in my life, and how happy you have made me. You have brought out the best in me, and helped me become the man I always hoped to be,” Laich wrote of his wife.

“You are kind, gentle, compassionate, and loving. You are the greatest joy in my life, and I love you with all my heart,” he added. “Thank you for being you, and choosing me everyday to share your life with!⁠”

Hough wrote in a caption of a video from their wedding that she wishes they could relive the magical weekend “over and over and over again.”

“Thank you @brookslaich for 2 years of pure magic, laughter, silliness, LOVE, and countless adventures!” she wrote. “I wake up every day feeling so lucky for your love. I can’t wait to take on the rest of life with you, and if it’s anything like these past 2 years then I know it will be filled with joy, intimacy and deep connection. I love you. ❤

Recently, Julianne spent Christmas in London and FaceTimed Brooks while she was abroad, but she’s now back home in L.A.

Who Is Thomas Kail? All About Michelle Williams' Fiancé — and His Ties to Lin-Manuel Miranda

Michelle Williams is engaged and expecting a baby with one of Broadway’s finest!

A source confirmed to PEOPLE on Monday the Oscar-nominated actress, 39, was engaged to Hamilton director Thomas Kail.

The two are also expecting their first child together, the source added. Williams is already a mother to 14-year-old daughter Matilda, whom she shared with the late actor Heath Ledger.

While Williams’ career has taken center stage in films, Kail’s own trajectory has deep roots in theater beginning with his college career at Wesleyan University, where Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda also attended.

While the two never met at Wesleyan, they did meet after Kail, 42, had graduated.

In 2003, they worked together on their hip-hop improv show Freestyle Love Supreme. That collaboration led to a slew of others including the hit Broadway shows In the Heights and Hamilton which Miranda created and Kail directed.

It was Kail who gave Miranda feedback on In the Heights when the Tony Award-winning musical was still in its beginning stages by Miranda’s sophomore year at Wesleyan.

“I had all this ambition, some talent and not much of a clue how to get there,” Miranda told Vogue in a profile about Kail. “He saw the path.”

Kail was nominated for his first Tony Award for In the Heights for best direction of a musical. He would later win the award for best direction of Hamilton in 2016. In 2018, he was awarded the Kennedy Center Honors alongside Andy Blackenbuehler, Alex Lacamoire and Miranda in 2018 for Hamilton.

The director later worked with Williams on the FX miniseries Fosse/Verdon, in which she played actress and dancer Gwen Verdon.

The series spanned five decades as it followed the story of Verdon and her romance and creative partnership with legendary choreographer Bob Fosse (played by Sam Rockwell).

The show earned Williams and Kail individual Emmy Awards for best lead actress and best director earlier this year. (Kail previously won the Emmy for Grease: Live.)

Tootsie Actress Teri Garr Was Briefly Hospitalized for Dehydration, Says Rep

Teri Garr, who starred in Tootsie opposite Dustin Hoffman, was briefly hospitalized for dehydration, a rep for the actress confirms to PEOPLE.

“Teri is fine and should be home tomorrow,” the rep tells PEOPLE. TMZ first reported the news of her hospitalization.

Garr, who is also known for her roles in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind and her 1974 breakthrough film Young Frankenstein, has been open in the past about her health struggles.

In 2002, Garr revealed in an interview on Larry King Live that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis after experiencing symptoms for 19 years.

“I do go on with my life,” she told Larry King. “The good news now is that there’s a lot of good medicines out there and options for people.”

She added, “I think everybody is scared and frightened when the hear something like that, and that’s because there’s not a lot of information out there about it. I don’t think negatively about any of the stuff.”

After going public with her diagnosis, Garr served as a chair of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Garr suffered from a ruptured brain aneurysm in December 2006, which left her in a coma for a week.

“I went to sleep to take a nap and my daughter couldn’t wake me up,” she told CNN in 2008. “So, thank God she called 9-1-1 and they rushed me to the hospital.”

Garr was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1983 for her role as Sandra Lester in Tootsie.

Peter Weber Defends Himself For Being Chosen As The New Bachelor Instead Of Mike Johnson

Peter Weber was a finalist in the last season of The Bachelorette. The pilot is charming enough, but Bachelor Nation erupted when he was named as the new Bachelor instead of Mike Johnson.

Mike was last season’s fan-favorite by winning over viewer’s hearts in his speech about looking for his fourth queen. He even caught the attention of Demi Lovato who he briefly dated.

This is why when Peter the Pilot was announced as the next man who will be looking for love on reality TV — fans were in an uproar.

Mike previously expressed his disappointment when he said that every Bachelor has been a white man and he thought he could bring something to the franchise that it never had.

‘I think Peter is a good looking dude with his 5 o’clock shadow. He has a fun, super fun job. His family’s amazing. His little brother, I know personally — he’s a dope kid. … I think I would have been more entertaining. I said it, and I’m gonna stick by my word.’

He later went on to say in a separate interview: ‘I think that there should be an Asian lead, an Indian lead… diversity is not just black and white. It’s not just salt and pepper.’

I’m ready Are you🌹

A post shared by Peter Weber (@pilot_pete) on

 

Weber is finally speaking out about the outrage. He doesn’t want viewers to blame him but he does want to be given a chance.

‘A, I didn’t make this decision, right? I was very grateful to accept it and move forward, but listen, regardless of race, of identity or whatnot, everybody is deserving of love. And I’m not the only person. Mike would’ve been a great Bachelor. Tyler [Cameron] could have been a great Bachelor. They picked me and I’m very excited and very humbled and I can’t wait for this journey to begin.’

YouTuber Brittani Boren Leach Says Hospital Held Honor Walk for Infant Son Crew Before Organ Donation

Brittani Boren Leach’s son Crew’s organs have been donated, three days after he passed away.

The 29-year-old YouTuber announced on Monday that the hospital held an honor walk for her 3-month-old son, who died on Friday after being found unresponsive while napping on Christmas Day.

“Our sweet Crew went to be with Jesus today. I rode on the bed with him to the O.R, with Jeff walking beside me as the surgical team pushed us through the halls,” Leach wrote, alongside an illustration of Jesus and her baby boy. “People lined the halls to pay their respects to our little hero and then we said the hardest goodbye of our lives.”

The internet personality said earlier on Monday that the honor walk would be held at noon CST, and said on Sunday that Crew’s organs could “potentially save 3 to 4 babies lives.”

“I’m not very good with words right now, because my heart hurts and I’m angry,” Leach continued, saying that while she is grateful for the outpouring of support, it still “hurts” her that her son’s story has gone so public.

Alex Trebek Opens Up About the Support from Fans Amid Cancer Diagnosis: 'It Makes Me Feel So Good'

Alex Trebek is feeling grateful for the support of his fans as he continues to battle pancreatic cancer.

The Jeopardy host, 79, shared in an interview with ABC News that since his diagnosis, “People all over America and abroad have decided they want to let me know now, while I’m alive, about the impact that I’ve been having on their existence.”

“They have come out and they have told me, and my gosh, it makes me feel so good,” Trebek added.

The love fans have for Trebek has been evident on the show.

Last month, contestant Dhruv Gaur used his opportunity to answer the clue to spread some love for the longtime game show host.

“Did you come up with the right one? No?” Trebek asked Gaur about his answer to the final clue.

“’What is ‘We love you Alex,’” Trebek read aloud. “That’s very kind, thank you.”

Trebek saw that Gaur gave up nearly all of his remaining $2,000 on the incorrect answer.

“Cost you $1,995. You’re left with five bucks,” Trebek said, seemingly holding back tears.

Gaur later addressed his decision on Twitter, explaining Trebek had just shared with the contestants he had reentered treatment.

“We were all hurting for him so badly,” Gaur wrote.

“When Final Jeopardy came up, I could’ve tried to puzzle it together, but really, just kept thinking about Alex, and thought he should know,” Gaur added.

“I’m just very grateful I got the opportunity to say what I know everyone was thinking. Sending all the love. #weloveyoualex.”

Also in November, another Jeopardy! contestant donated $10,000 to cancer research in honor of Trebek.

Avi Gupta, the 18-year-old Columbia University freshman who took home $100,000 on the show this summer, announced on Twitter that he would be giving a portion of his winnings to the Knight Cancer Institute.

“I was inspired to give by Alex Trebek, the host of Jeopardy! and someone who I have looked up to my whole life,” he said. “It was a dream come true earlier this year to finally join him on the Jeopardy! stage and the Jeopardy! teen tournament.”

Trebek revealed the news of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis to fans in a video message in March. After undergoing months of treatment, the TV host told fans in August that he had finished his treatment and was doing better.

But one month later, Trebek announced on Good Morning America that he was once again undergoing chemotherapy.

Despite his health, the game show’s longtime beloved host isn’t hanging up his hat anytime soon, despite still working to beat pancreatic cancer, which he was diagnosed with last March.

“He has no plans to quit, and is absolutely not announcing his retirement ,” said a coworker of Trebek, who had told CTV News in an October interview that he wasn’t sure exactly how much longer he could continue hosting the show, owing to the side effects from chemotherapy.

“We’ll play it by ear and keep chugging along until we either win or lose,” Trebek said at the time.

RHOBH Season 10 Promises New Diamonds And Tons Of Drama After Lisa Vanderpump’s Exit

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will look a whole lot different when Season 10 premieres. After Lisa Vanderpump announced she was leaving the show this past summer, Bravo added two new cast members and brought back some OGs to bring some serious drama now that the restaurateur is no longer part of the popular Bravo reality series. Let’s take a look at what we know so far.

The biggest change to RHOBH in Season 10 is the addition of new full-time cast members Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke. Beauvais, who is a Jamie Foxx Show alum, will make history as the first African-American RHOBH cast member. And Stracke is a single mom of three who describes herself as a “Southern Belle in Southern California.”

View this post on Instagram

Meet your new housewives!! #RHOBH @suttonstracke : “I am thrilled and honored to be joining The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. As a mother to three children who is also deeply committed to my efforts in philanthropy, my life is a balancing act. There is a lot going on in the best way possible and I strive to pursue all of my passions to the fullest,” Sutton told The Daily Dish in a statement. “I am excited to share my true loves of art and fashion design, and open the doors to my world. I am looking forward to this ride and where this journey takes me. Fun times ahead for this Southern Belle in Southern California!” – @garcelle: “I am excited and proud to be joining the cast of such a wildly popular and beloved show like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. As a working actor who has been in the industry for some time, it’s exhilarating to have the opportunity to delve into a new chapter in the entertainment spectrum. As the first African American Housewife in the Beverly Hills franchise, I am honored and humbled by this awesome opportunity to exemplify the fact that Black Girl Magic lives and thrives in every zip code!” Garcelle said in a statement to The Daily Dish. “Already being intimately familiar with the spotlight of Hollywood, my journey of successes and trials has already been chronicled and shared with my many loyal supporters around the world. The continual encouragement, support and yes, even at times, criticism, have helped make me the dynamic woman I am today. I’m excited to share the many ongoing daily surprises, laughs and joys of being a working mother in today’s crazy world. The hustle is R-E-A-L! No games, all heart and a little dash of fashion-filled sass is what you’ll get when you step into my sphere…and I wouldn’t have it any other way!”

A post shared by Real Housewives Beverly Hills (@rhobhbravo) on

Camille Grammer is also back as a friend of the show, even though she said after the Season 9 reunion that she was done with RHOBH. Just three months after telling fans that she wasn’t asked back, Grammer tweeted that she was getting back in the game for more “diamonds and drama.”

In November, Grammer told Us Weekly that she felt like a target when she showed up to film for Season 10.

“What I’ve seen, there’s drama targeted at me. I show up and they kind of, you know, how do I say it the right way? I feel that I show up somewhere and I felt targeted,” said Grammer. “But there are things that need to be discussed, so maybe that was the right time to do so. There you go, there’s a carrot. I just dangled!”

Teddi Mellencamp is expecting baby number three with her husband Edwin Arroyave, which makes her the first full-time cast member of RHOBH to be pregnant during filming. And, fans will get the opportunity to see Erika Jayne prepare for her Broadway debut in the musical Chicago.

Kyle Richards has a new clothing line that she designed with Shahida Clayton, and Mellencamp, Jayne, Denise Richards, Lisa Rinna, and Dorit Kemsley walked the runway at Kyle’s first show during New York Fashion Week. Kemsley says that Season 10 will feature all the “usual glitz, glam, and drama,” which will be “as high as you can possibly go.”

There will also be some appearances from OGs Eileen Davidson, Kim Richards, Adrienne Maloof, and Brandi Glanville. And, it looks like something serious went down between Glanville and Denise Richards. The Drinking and Tweeting author recently told her fans that she exposed some skeletons, and then she called out Denise Richards, saying she “just got Denised.”

“Seriously b*tch???? You wanna play?” wrote Glanville.“1-blackmail is illegal. 2-I have no skeletons in my closet (they’re all on the internet). 3-slut shaming is soooooo last year.”

Denise Richards seems to be having issues with Rinna, too. Rinna posted on Instagram earlier this month that Denise missed Kemsley’s party, and the ladies never heard from her after she promised she would attend. An insider claims that Rinna and Denise Richards are “headed for a showdown” during Season 10.

“Behind the scenes, Lisa Rinna is continuing to be the instigator and continuously stir the pot for maximum drama. Rinna does this to make herself relevant and maintaining job security,” claimed the source. “Denise has had enough of Rinna’s constant meddling and passive aggressive behavior, especially with social media. Denise and Rinna are headed toward a showdown on camera which is what Rinna has wanted.”

Bravo has not yet announced the premiere date for Season 10 of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but it is expected to be in early 2020.



Carrie Underwood Reveals She Won't Host the CMA Awards in 2020: 'Time to Pass the Hosting Torch'

Carrie Underwood is passing the torch in 2020.

The “Before He Cheats” singer announced on Instagram on Monday that while hosting the CMA Awards has been a highlight of her “entire career,” she feels that after 12 consecutive years in the position, it’s time to “pass the hosting torch.”

“One of the highlights of 2019 and of my entire career so far was being on stage with the legends that are Reba and Dolly Parton,” Underwood, 36, wrote on the social media platform alongside a photo of herself with the country music legends, as well as another picture with longtime co-host Brad Paisley.

“I’m so proud that we could celebrate the incredible female artists that are part of the legacy of country music, past, present and future, and I’m thankful for the huge audiences all over the world that tuned in to see it,” she continued.

The Grammy-winning artist reflected on more than a decade of hosting the iconic country music show, adding how thankful she is for the experience.

“It’s hard to believe that it was my 12th year hosting and I will always treasure every show, from the 11 that I was so lucky to do with my partner in crime and friend for life, Brad Paisley, to sharing the stage with two of my all-time heroes.”

“I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone involved with the CMA Awards all these years,” Underwood continued. “It’s hard to imagine topping what we have accomplished together, so I’ve decided that it’s time to pass the hosting torch (at least for now!) to others that will cherish it and honor it as much as I do.”

The mother of two concluded by expressing her excitement for 2020, promising fans of projects to come.

“I’ve got so many exciting things coming in the new year and beyond, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for all of us. #blessed #MemorableMoments,” she finished.

Underwood and Paisley first hosted the CMA Awards together in 2008. Since then, Underwood has snagged seven CMA Awards of her own, and at this year’s awards was nominated for entertainer of the year. Her very first appearance at the awards show was in 2005 after winning American Idol, where she performed “Jesus, Take the Wheel.”

The three women kicked off the event with a performance of Parton’s 1987 song, “Those Memories of You,” before being joined by Terri Clark, Sara Evans, Crystal Gayle, Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles, Tanya Tucker, Gretchen Wilson and The Highwomen’s Brandi Carlile, Natalie Hemby, Maren Morris and Amanda Shires to perform a medley in homage to the legendary women of country music.

Underwood also performed her single “Drinking Alone” from her latest album, Cry Pretty.

The couple shared their pregnancy news on Instagram in early September, when Bailey, 22, shared a photo series from a party celebrating their bundle of joy on the way. In the first snapshot, the “Don’t” singer cradled his girlfriend’s belly as they sat in front of pink balloons and over-sized blocks spelling out “BABY.”

“All I know is we are super excited for our little girl to get here💕 🧿,” she wrote, while in a comment on the post, Tiller remarked, “Cant wait for my lil cocoa bean 👶🏾.”

An image on Tiller’s Instagram Stories saw Tiller posing solo, giving a thumbs-up to the camera in front of the same photo-op background.

“Fatherhood is so important to me, more than anything,” he wrote. “Thank you all for the positive messages guys it truly means the world. Wow Father of 2, gotta go twice as hard now.”

Tiller — who released his latest album True to Self in 2017 and whose professional career dates back to his 2011 mixtape Killer Instinct Vol. 1 — was counting down the days until he met his second child.

“Almost that time … thank you @ro.lexx and @misha_japanwala for your creative magic ✨KB you look flawless 😍,” the singer captioned a series of maternity photos on Nov. 16, showing Bailey posing nude on the beach, wearing only a mold over her belly and breasts.

“6 weeks until our baby girl gets here💗,” Bailey wrote alongside a serene photo from the same session. “It’s really difficult for me to even put into words how excited I am to become a mother and nurture a little person with my best friend. I can feel the best years of my life about to begin☀.”

Ozark Star Julia Garner Marries Mark Foster In Private Weekend Ceremony

Ozark star Julia Garner and lead singer of Foster the People, Mark Foster, tied the knot this weekend in a private ceremony that featured the Emmy-winning actress wearing an Old Hollywood-style wedding gown from bridal brand Danielle Frankel.

The couple’s friend, designer Zac Posen, posted numerous pics from the ceremony on his Instagram Story that highlighted several details of Garner’s dress, like the satin bodice and lace detailing. The short-sleeve dress also featured a high neckline and buttons up the back. Foster opted for a classic look, too, with a traditional black tuxedo with a white shirt and bowtie.

Garner posted a black-and-white photo of her and Foster in the back of a cab, and New York City Hall was tagged as the location of the Instagram pic. Foster wore a white furry coat and held a bouquet of flowers as she looked into the front-seat camera from the back seat of the taxi.

While the couple never confirmed their engagement, an insider told People Magazine that Foster did pop the question earlier this year during a trip to Yellowstone National Park. And, on May 2nd at the Dirty John FYC panel in Los Angeles, the 25-year-old had a diamond ring on that finger.

In September, Garner won the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her role in the Netflix series Ozark, and she called Foster the “love of my life” during her acceptance speech. After she won the award, Foster couldn’t help but gush about Garner’s surprise victory.

“It took me time to process the last twenty four hours and find a quiet moment of thought after an incredibly surreal weekend. I’m beyond proud of this girl,” wrote Foster, along with photos of Garner holding her Emmy

Foster also called Garner a “beautiful angel of a human,” and he said that it brings him immeasurable joy to see her lifted up and recognized by her peers, industry, and fans. The 35-year-old added that Garner deserved every bit of the love and respect, and he considers himself to be the luckiest guy on the planet to be able to watch her from the front row with a bag of popcorn and her hand wrapped in his.

The first two seasons of Ozark are available for streaming on Netflix. Season 3 is expected to drop sometime in 2020. And, Julia Garner’s new movie The Assistant is scheduled to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January.



Dean Unglert Gets In Serious Skiing Accident — Caelynn Miller Comes To His Rescue

Dean Unglert is living anything but a normal life. From living in a van to traveling the world — the Bachelorette alum is a completely different person from when viewers met him during Rachel Lindsay’s season.

His adventurous ways got the best of him recently. The reality star was forced to spend the holidays in a hospital due to an injury he got while skiing.

The accident in the Swiss Alps caused him to have to get surgery for dislocated hip and fractured femur.

He posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed alongside a caption that read: ‘all my life i’ve dreamt about skiing the swiss alps. how could you not? they’re huge and beautiful and have some of the best snow in the world. today, however, was not my day. i was sending just a liiiiitle too hard and took a nasty spill which ultimately put me here. and since this is probably going to be the only pic i get in switzerland, i figured i gotta post it.’

He went on to explain: ‘the swiss mountain rescue blew my mind today. it took me about an hour to flag someone down for help but once i did, i was airborne and in surgery in less than an hour. a dislocated hip and fractured femur put 4 screws and a plate in my leg but things could have been so much worse and for that i am extremely grateful!’

The Bachelor in Paradise alum was released five days later.

While he was in the Switzerland hospital, his girlfriend Caelynn Miller came to his rescue. The two left the European country together and he even uploaded a photo of her carrying his bags since he has to use crutches to walk.

Although Caelynn recently revealed that she didn’t know if Dean was ‘the one’ for her, it’s great to see that she is by his side during his worst moment.



Michelle Williams Is Pregnant and Engaged to Hamilton Director Thomas Kail

Michelle Williams is engaged — and expecting!

The four-time Oscar nominee, 39, is engaged to the Tony Award-winning director of Hamilton, Thomas Kail, a source confirms to PEOPLE. The two are also expecting their first child together, the source adds.

Williams and Kail, 42, were photographed together in London where the actress is busy filming Venom 2. Williams was spotted buying baby clothes at Seraphine’s maternity boutique in Kensington.

A rep for the actress has not commented.

The actress is also a mother to her 14-year-old daughter Matilda, whom she shared with the late actor Heath Ledger.

Kail directed Williams in the drama Fosse/Verdon, for which she won the Emmy Award for lead actress. The director is close friends with Lin-Manuel Miranda and directed his musical In the Heights on Broadway. He also won an Emmy for directing Grease: Live.

Williams has been candid in the past about finding love after Ledger’s death in 2008.

“I never gave up on love,” she told Vanity Fair in 2018 about moving on. “I always say to Matilda, ‘Your dad loved me before anybody thought I was talented, or pretty, or had nice clothes.’”

While Williams has maintained her personal life private, she told the magazine she was more keen on helping others.

“I don’t really want to talk about any of it. But what if this helps somebody?” she said. “What if somebody who has always journeyed in this way, who has struggled as much as I struggled, and looked as much as I looked, finds something that helps them?”

She continued, “Don’t settle. Don’t settle for something that feels like a prison or is hard, or hurts you. If it doesn’t feel like love, it’s not love.”

Stuck in the Middle Star Cerina Vincent and Mike Estes Are Engaged: 'It Was a Magical Night'

Stuck in the Middle star Cerina Vincent is engaged!

The actress’ longtime boyfriend Mike Estes, whom she shares 10-month-old son Nicola with, popped the question while they were in Vincent’s hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada to visit her mom.

“It was truly a magical, holiday engagement story!” Vincent, 40, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

The exciting new chapter began on Dec. 22 when the couple attended a Christmas party hosted by her cousins.

“Mike tried to propose in a family photo with my dad and my siblings, my nephew and our baby, but I moved him to the end of the photo and everyone dispersed before he could do it. Vincent girls tend to be bossy when it comes to family photos,” Vincent says.

When that didn’t work, Estes devised another plan.

“I was trying to leave the party for a few minutes to put the baby to bed, so he quickly looped in my brother Gino, and he and my sister-in-law Christel helped organize another photo. A general photo of the guys,” Vincent shares.

“My sister Angela was helping to get Mike and Nico and my dad and brother all lined up. … Mike dropped to a knee ‘on cheese’ and I was absolutely stunned!”

“It was a loud, fun, festive party, and my mind was on trying to put our baby to bed, so he completely caught me by surprise! It was so special and so meaningful,” Vincent says. “Mike knows that my family is the most important thing in the world to me, so it was the perfect setting.”

Vincent says “time slowed down” when Estes got down on one knee.

“I saw my son on his arm, my dad and my brother and my nephew behind him,” Vincent says. “Really, all the most important men in my life were a part of the moment and that was unbelievably meaningful to me.”

“He put the ring on my finger while I held our son in front of the Christmas tree,” Vincent continues.

Following the proposal, Vincent says she Estes and their baby son went on a walk through the neighborhood, soaking in everything that had just happened.

“ looked at Christmas lights, and talked and laughed and cried.”

“I love this man and our son beyond words. I was totally shocked. He nailed it. We are beyond blessed and excited to start this new chapter of our lives together with our beautiful baby boy,” Vincent adds.

Vincent and Estes welcomed baby Nico in February.

He was born at Whittier Hospital Medical Center in Whittier, California at 9:26 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4. He weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and measured 20 inches long.

“The stars aligned on Feb. 4 to be the most extraordinary moment of my life,” Vincent tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Our sweet baby boy came into this world and from that instant I now know a love deeper than I ever thought possible. I loved him when I carried him around for nine months, but this love … this love is immeasurable.”

“Love at first sight, yes, but truer and deeper than any words can describe,” she continues. “We feel so blessed to have a son and know a love like this.”

Husband Donates Kidney to Wife of 51 Years After Discovering He's the Perfect Match

A man in Texas gave his wife of 51 years the “ultimate present” this year: his own kidney.

Peggy Nipper suffers from polycystic kidney disease (PKD), an inherited disease that leads to kidney failure. This fall, one of Peggy’s kidneys was down to only 14 percent functionality, and it was time for a transplant.

While it is typically difficult to get on the transplant list, especially for patients over that age of 70, it turned out that Peggy, 74, didn’t have to look very far. Her husband, Mike Nipper, was a perfect match, and the couple underwent the transplant process in November at the Kidney Transplant Center at St. David’s North Austin Medical Center.

“We didn’t even think there was a possibility for him to be a direct match,” Peggy, whose mother died from the disease and whose brother is also inflicted with PKD, said in an interview with CNN.

Peggy said that they never imagined they’d be able to find a “direct match” for her blood and antigens so easily.

“If you carry babies from your husband, your blood has been mixed and very often you develop antigens against that blood because of bearing children,” she explained. “So we didn’t even know it was a possibility.”

But luckily, Mike’s blood type and antigen tissue matched perfectly.

“It was quite a gift,” Peggy, now in recovery from the procedure, added of her husband’s kidney.

“I don’t think he has to give me another gift for the rest of my life,” she said. “This was the ultimate present.”

But Mike was more than happy to provide his wife with the life-saving organ.

“We’re different people, I’m from Mars and she’s from Venus, but our differences will always complement each other,” Mike told CNN.

“I think I’m really committed now,” he added. “We promised each other, in sickness and in health until death do us part, and that’s how it’s going to be. We’re just trying to extend that death do us part for as long as we can.”

There are more than 200,000 cases of PKD in the United States per year.

Diddy Kicks Off New Year Celebrations in Miami with His Kids: ‘I Just Want to Thank God’

There’s no party like a Diddy party, and the same goes for bringing in the new year.

The music mogul, 50, is closing off 2019 in Miami with all of his children — they also celebrated Christmas in the Florida sunshine together last week. Diddy is dad to Quincy Brown, 28 (the biological son of Al B. Sure!), Justin Combs, 26, Christian ‘King’ Combs, 21, and twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie Combs, 13.

Diddy has been hosting soul food Sunday gatherings for his family and closest friends over the past few months, and this past Sunday he shared videos from the cherished occasion on his Instagram story.

“I just want to thank God for waking us up this morning,” he said during a special prayer before his family and loved ones sat down to eat. “Thank you for the air that we breathe. Thank you for the things that we take for granted.”

“Every now and then we have a dinner called soul food Sunday, and we kind of just invite our friends that we feel like the collective vibe would be something that would be just different and be special, so everybody doesn’t get invited,” he continued before the clip ended.

Celebrity pals, including Terrence J and Lenny S, also joined in on the fun, and Diddy shared footage of the pair excitedly chatting about the meal ahead.

“Where we’re at? Miami. Why are we in Miami?” Lenny S said as the pair stood in front of a luxury swimming pool complete with palm trees that were decorated with white Christmas lights to keep in the holiday spirit.

“Hold on, I have to take my shades off,” Terrence J said. “Puff only does his soul food Sundays in L.A., but guess where we’re at right now? Very special night, very special vibe.”

“Puff, thank you, because we’re about to eat,” Terrence J added.

In true Diddy style, the menu was jam-packed with just about every soul food dish imaginable.

“Soul food Sunday: chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, tequila, Deleon, D’ussé, CÎROC, VS, soul food Sunday!” Lenny S concluded.

Diddy invites his family and loved ones to celebrate specifically over soul food in part because of its importance to African-American culture. Historically black colleges and universities even host weekly soul food dinners on campus for students to be reminded of home. (Howard University — where the entrepreneur attended and later earned an honorary degree — hosts soul food Thursdays every week.)

“Soul food Sunday is such a vibe,” Christian said in a video that Diddy shared on his Instagram story on Sunday. “It’s the first time in Miami. Do y’all know what’s going on? We got the palm trees, the heat, it’s humid.”

“My son looks just like me it’s so crazy!!! @combscartel,” the proud father wrote on the clip.

The family, who has been in Miami since before Christmas, is also celebrating Justin’s 26th birthday. In honor of his big day, the Combs Cartel family Instagram page posted a video dedicated to Justin on Monday, and Diddy shared it on his Instagram story shortly afterwards.

The video includes iconic behind-the-scenes footage of Diddy and his son preparing for his music video cameo in which he says the famous line, “Bad boy, come out and play.”

On Christmas last week, Diddy and his family shared clips on social media that showed them joyously exchanging plenty of gifts, smiles and laughs.

Joe Giudice Implies He Won’t Be Returning To The United States Anytime Soon Amid Deportation Drama And Split From Teresa

There is still hope that Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice could win his deportation appeal and be allowed back in the United States. But, according to a recent Instagram post, it doesn’t look like Giudice has any plans to return no matter what the outcome.

Juicy Joe has been posting a lot of throwback photos on his Instagram page the past few days. And, in the caption of one picture that featured his estranged wife Teresa and their four daughters Gia, 18, Gabriella, 15, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 10, at Milania’s communion a few years ago, Joe seemed to imply that his life in America is completely in the past.

“I will always adore the memories I made in America and how much fun we had as a family!” wrote Joe. “I will always love my family and care about them, even if their [sic] not here because of choices so tonight I share with you all of me! We had wonderful times in America as a family that I will always cherish forever!”

He also posted a selfie with his daughters that was taken during their trip to Italy to celebrate Christmas, and Joe wrote in that caption that he has some new challenges in 2020, like learning self-restraint with bowl usage, hot water heating, and living without American amenities.

Joe said that he can get used to anything because he will get to see his daughters’ faces again.

The 47-year-old served three years in federal prison and seven months in an ICE detention center before the court granted him permission to move to his native Italy in October while he waits for the final decision in his deportation appeal.

The Giudice’s family lawyer, James Leonard, told Us Weekly at the time that they were still fighting, and Joe’s desire is to return home to the United States and reunite with his family. However, earlier this month, it was revealed that Joe and Teresa had separated after twenty years of marriage.

An insider told the publication that Joe and Teresa didn’t have plans to divorce yet. But, when Teresa and the girls visited Joe in November, the former couple decided that it was best for them to separate because neither one wanted to be in a long-distance relationship.

The source also claimed that Joe had started dating in Italy, but Teresa was busy taking care of the girls. Teresa has recently been spotted with Anthony Delorenzo, who she dated in high school. But, insiders say they are just friends.

New episodes of Real Housewives of New Jersey air Wednesday nights on Bravo.



Wendy Williams Can’t Wait To Come Back From TV Show Break

Wendy Williams has had her first holiday season as a nearly-single woman. The Wendy Williams Show star loves hanging with her family but can’t wait to get back in her big purple chair.

Wendy recently shared a photo to Instagram where she confided in followers and asked about their New Year’s traditions.

‘Thx Miami, but I can’t wait to get home!! I’m sooo missing doing the show & my routine. Family is great, but ok bye! I’m in lounge trying to figure out who has best soul food for New Year’s day. In my culture certain foods on THAT day represent health & money. Are you familiar with this 1800s tradition?’

This year has been her most challenging yet. In addition to no longer being with Kevin Hunter, the 55-year-old doesn’t have her son to come home and cook for anymore because he is off to college.

Being that it’s just Wendy and her cats, she’s bound to get lonely — regardless of her new social life.

Because Wendy absolutely loves what she does, she can’t wait for winter break to be over so she can cover all of the hot topics, engage in hilarious celebrity interviews, and give her viewers the best deals on merchandise during her Trendy At Wendy segment.

Although she had an amazing time in Miami, Williams would’ve liked to receive the best present of them all: a divorce agreement.

However, rumors have swirled that her upset ex is not making things easy at all.

Wendy’s lawyers thought that they would be able to come to a close sooner rather than later but that’s not the case at all.

The unnecessary stress is definitely taking a toll on the media mogul

Hopefully, in the new year, Wendy will receive a New Year’s blessing that cuts ties with Kevin permanently.



Alex Trebek Isn’t Retiring From Jeopardy Amid Cancer Battle, Claims Co-Worker

Ever since legendary game show host Alex Trebek announced last March that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, rumors have swirled that the 79-year-old would be making a retirement announcement in the near future. But, one of Trebek’s co-workers says that he doesn’t have any plans to retire, despite having to go through a second round of chemotherapy in September.

“He has no plans to quit, and is absolutely not announcing his retirement [anytime soon],” the coworker told People Magazine.

Back in October, Trebek said that he wasn’t sure how much longer he would be the host of Jeopardy because of the side effects from his treatment. He explained that they would just “play it by ear” and “keep chugging along” until they either win or lose.

In recent weeks, Trebek has been spotted in Los Angeles and he appears to be fit and healthy. He even hosted his annual holiday party for his team on December 20th at Feinstein’s at Vitellos in LA, and surprised his guests by booking American Pie singer Don McLean to perform at the event. Trebek told the crowd that McLean’s performance was “a real treat” and he could officially take it off his bucket list.

Trebek and his wife Jean Currivan Trebek also sat down with Michael Strahan for an interview that will air on January 2nd, and Trebek admitted to Strahan that he has struggled with depression since receiving his diagnosis.

“It’s always tough for caretakers because she has to deal with her worrying about my well-being and also dealing with … I’m not always the most pleasant person to be around when I’m experiencing severe pain or depression, and she has to tread lightly around me,” said Alex.

For Jean – who has been married to Alex for 29 years and shares two children with him – the hardest part of her husband’s cancer battle is seeing him in pain, but she can’t help him.

Alex and Jean Trebek’s interview with Michael Strahan will air during an ABC special on January 2nd. Trebek is also hosting the ABC prime time Jeopardy tournament “Greatest of All Time” with contestants Ken Jennings, Brad Rutter, and James Holzhauer, starting on January 7th.

RHOP: Monique Samuels And Candiace Dillard Have Charges Dismissed

The new season of Real Housewives of Potomac has stopped filming but the fallout from an incident during filming is still active. The complaints that Monique Samuels and Candiace Dillard filed against each other have been dismissed.

In October, rumors swirled that the frenemies got into it at a cast dinner. Candiace reportedly threw a drink in Monique’s face who responded by pulling her head down and ‘dragging’ her.

About a month after the incident, Candiace filed a second-degree assault complaint against her co-star who then filed a counter.

Friday, the Public Affairs Director of Montgomery County, Maryland announced that the Office of the State’s Attorney dismissed both cases.

Monique’s attorney gave a statement to People that read, in part: ‘We are pleased with the final determination by the Montgomery County’s States Attorney’s Office to not proceed against Mrs. Samuels for assault charges brought against her by Candiace Dillard Bassett. Consistent with her prior bad acts, offensive words and conduct, and her reputation for physical threats and verbal outbursts on the show, through third party interviews and the review of other evidence, the government concluded not to move forward against my client, Mrs. Samuels,’

Meanwhile, Dillard’s attorney also gave a statement: ‘We are very, very pleased that the prosecutor did not charge Ms. Dillard Bassett with any criminal charges or pursue the criminal charges against her. As you may recall, the defendant’s legal team made the accusation that our client was the aggressor and assaulted Ms. Samuels by throwing a wine glass at her. However, it is very clear by today’s decision that this was a false allegation. I still feel strongly that my client was the victim, but I do hope all parties can move on now.’

The lawyer also added that he hopes Monique will stop assassinating his client’s character.

Previously, Candiace stated that she may pursue a civil lawsuit against her foe, it’s unknown if she will but she is legally free To do so.



KUWK: Khloe Kardashian Posts Vid Of Daughter True Playing A Pink Piano!

Khloe Kardashian’s daughter is already a little entertainer in the making! While people like to joke that the reality TV stars’ children are getting prepared by their parents to take over the whole KUWK empire, it seems like little True has a different talent – playing music – more precisely, the piano!

The proud mother of one took to her platform of choice, Instagram, to share with her millions of followers, a cute video of her daughter playing a pink piano all the while wearing matching pink pajamas!

The toddler is only one year old but she seems to be destined for great things!

And if anything, she always manages to make people smile!

The footage was shared on her mom’s IG Stories and featured True playing a tiny pink piano, perfect for her own mini size.

Not only does True seem musically inclined but she also reminded people that she is also a really funny child when she just tossed the music sheet and played whatever she felt like, instead.

Obviously, it was all just little hands banging on the keyboard but she’s also just one year old so no judging!

Everyone has to start somewhere and many adults would not be able to do as much!

Besides, with a lot of love and positive reinforcements, True could become a piano prodigy!

Sure enough, Khloe did not hesitate to praise her, saying ‘Good job mama!’ in the background.

True looked adorable doing her thing while wearing cute pink pajamas, matching the piano for that perfect aesthetic.

And her mom was not True’s only fan! Part of the audience was also a big Teddy bear which could be seen to the side in the clip.

Just a lot of cuteness all around! Make sure to check it out of you want a mood booster!
