Nene Leakes has been causing some mayhem with her recent posts. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star recently posted some photos that her old co-star Porsha Williams probably won’t appreciate.
Nene shared pictures on Instagram from her recent double date with Porsha’s ex-husband Simon Guobadia. The shocking reunion also included Nene’s boyfriend Nyonisela Sioh as well as Simon’s new partner, Yassmin Ibrahim.
The group was seen in Nene’s post having a great time posing outdoors in their stylish gear. Nene added a caption to the photos saying “Happy Sunday.”
The outrageous post drew a variety of different comments from fans after it was first shared by The Shade Room. One person asked, “How are people this pretty at 60?”
Although the four indeed made a pretty good-looking double date team, the comments mainly focused on the drama Nene was stoking with Porsha. One commenter wrote, “As the saying goes, with friends like these, who needs enemies?” Another described the situation as “messy.”
However, not everyone thought that Nene was the one who deserved criticism. Someone replied to the “messy” remarks to say that Nene owed Porsha nothing. The TV star herself replied to it telling her defender to “say it loud” for the “people in the back”.
Fans expressed that this would make a perfect opportunity to bring Nene and Porsha back onto the Real Housewives show. The bad blood between Nene and Porsha has been simmering for a little while now. Last Friday things came to a head when Nene went after Porsha after she allegedly refused to work with Nene on Netflix’s new show, The Upshaws.
Porsha’s Part in the Upshaws Was Recast
Nene revealed on her Instagram Stories how excited she had been to be offered a part in a comedy show. She was also excited when she was told she would be working “side by side” with Porsha, who was also involved in the series.
Nene said that she and Porsha always had a good time when they saw each other. Though, in the end, Porsha never showed up.
She claimed that the show asked if she had any issues with any of the other Housewives because Porsha’s part in The Upshaws was being recast. Nene was later informed that Porsha had told The Upshaws producers that she did not want to work with her because of issues from the past.
She said that she was shocked to find out that Porsha felt this way about her. Nene stated her belief that they didn’t have any issues that meant they couldn’t work together.
Although Nene probably genuinely believes that, she didn’t try to deny that they did have some issues. It looks like Nene just felt that their problems shouldn’t get in the way of their careers, describing them both as “professionals.”
However, Nene has made things more personal with her double date posts with Simon. It’s clear from the pictures that Nene wants us to know she has no problem no longer being associated with Porsha.
Nene claimed in her Instagram Stories that she and Porsha had actually “double-dated a few times.” But Nene has had no problem replacing her old friend with her former husband. As one person wrote under the post, “When they go low, Nene takes them to hell.”
Kenny Rogers’ wife Wanda was his soulmate. But his love life before that was pretty scandalous. He was married four times before meeting her. The story of how Kenny met Wanda is shocking enough. But you won’t believe what Wanda is up to now, since he passed away.
This is the real truth about what happened to Wanda and who she is with now. Kenny revealed decades ago that he really loved every one of his five wives. But he described his legendary music career as his mistress. With his first four wives, music always kept him away from home.
After Kenny’s fourth divorce, he didn’t really want to date, but he agreed to go on a date with someone a friend had introduced him to. If you think that Kenny’s date was Wanda, this is really going to shock you. Because Kenny knew as soon as he met his blind date that he wasn’t attracted to her.
Someone else caught Kenny’s eye during his dinner date. She was the hostess at the Italian restaurant where they were eating — and that hostess was Wanda. Kenny later admitted his side of this story, and it’s unbelievable…He said he was chatting casually with his date, but he knew there was no spark.
How Kenny Rogers Met His Wife Wanda
When Wanda walked up to their table, Kenny revealed something crazy: He wasn’t even sure if Wanda looked at him or even knew who he was. But the minute that Wanda smiled, Kenny said it rocked him to his core.
At least Kenny played the gentleman that night. He didn’t approach Wanda during his date because he didn’t want to hurt the woman he was with, After he dropped the other woman off, Kenny knew he had to find out who Wanda was, so he asked his friend Charlie to get the details on the young hostess from the restaurant’s manager.
But when Kenny found out just how young Wanda was, he almost declined a meeting. Charlie told Kenny that Wanda was just 21 years old. At that time, Kenny was 54 years old. He knew that Wanda was too young, but later, Kenny made another discovery. Wanda was actually 26 years old.
That’s still almost three decades younger than Kenny, but he decided to ask Wanda out anyway. They dated for six months, but Wanda was keeping something hidden. Because Wanda didn’t tell her parents that she was dating Kenny, when they found out about her much older boyfriend, they were not happy.
Her parents were two years younger than Kenny. It took months for them to accept that Kenny was dating Wanda. But everything did end up working out for the couple. They got married on June 1, 1997, at Kenny’s ranch in Athens, Georgia.
Kenny was married to Wanda for the longest of all of his wives. Wanda and Kenny had two children. Their twin boys, Justin and Jordan, were born in July 2004. Wanda was by Kenny’s side when he passed away on March 20, 2020. Years earlier, Kenny had been interviewed by a newspaper in the UK.
Kenny Called Wanda His Soulmate
He revealed intimate details about his final marriage. Kenny told the newspaper that Wanda was his soulmate. He said that she knew him better than anyone ever knew him before. He also admitted he wasn’t selfish or insensitive with Wanda like he may have been in the past with his other wives.
For Kenny, it was the small things in life that mattered to him the most. He said it wasn’t about him anymore: his day-to-day life was all about Wanda and their kids. Several years before Kenny passed away in 2020, he was getting weaker due to serious illnesses.
And he said something shocking to Wanda, which was quite possibly the least selfish thing that Kenny ever did. He told Wanda he wanted her to find love again after he was gone and gave her his blessing.
Wanda was shocked and in no frame of mind to consider what life would be like for her after Kenny. She revealed that intimate moment with her late husband in an interview with People magazine. She recalled the moment it happened, and how she reacted to what Kenny said.
Wanda said that Kenny loved to watch TV, but one day, several years before he passed, he shocked her by pressing pause on the TV remote. He didn’t do that too much, so Wanda knew that Kenny wanted to talk to her about something important.
Kenny Wanted Wanda to Be Happy and Find Love Again
And what Kenny said made Wanda’s world come crashing down. He told Wanda what she unfortunately already knew: that he was not going to be alive forever. He also said that he wanted her to be happy. She was young, and he wanted her to have a full life after his passing.
Wanda told Kenny that she didn’t want to talk about it, and she told him to turn the TV back on. But she never forgot that day. Still, it took her three long years after Kenny’s passing to finally take the step.
She revealed to People that she wasn’t just moving on for herself. Wanda said that Kenny also wanted her to move on for the sake of their twins. She added that it’s a big thing to show her sons that life goes on. She also knows it takes a really big man to say those things to his wife and mean it.
Wanda said that shows the kind of guy that Kenny was. And when the time finally came for Wanda to move on, there seemed to be another shocking sign from Kenny, because Wanda met her current partner through one of Kenny’s friend.
Shockingly, this friend of Kenny’s had dated Wanda’s sister years ago. Kenny’s friend didn’t push Wanda into dating someone new either. He just told Wanda that he had a new friend for her, and if Wanda and this man didn’t date, they would definitely be friends forever.
She met the new man, and they did become friends first. But their friendship grew into much more. Wanda shared that she noticed that her current partner shared a lot of traits in common with Kenny, including a sense of leadership, and positive energy.
So Wanda’s current partner reminds her of Kenny, and she doesn’t think it’s a coincidence. Some of Wanda’s friends also believe something crazy. They agree with Wanda that it feels like Kenny is a part of this somehow. But Wanda said her current partner wanted her sons to know something important.
He told them that he could never take Kenny’s place, but he was there to be their friend forever. Wanda knows that her current partner has big shoes to fill, but she’s thankful for this new relationship because of how easy and special it is — and being in love again doesn’t mean that Wanda is slowly forgetting Kenny.
If anything, her love for her late husband continues to grow. Wanda revealed to People how Kenny spent his last day on Earth, and the shocking thing that her son Justin told her after Kenny passed away. Kenny’s final day was spent watching movies and eating his favorite thing: vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.
Wanda recorded these moments in a journal and admitted that she still gets choked up when she reads it back. The morning after Kenny’s passing, Wanda said that Justin wanted to talk to her. She feared that Justin would be sad or scared that Kenny had passed away at home.
Wanda Keeps Kenny’s Memory Alive
So what Justin said to her was shocking: Her son told Wanda that Kenny’s sweet spirit would be in their home forever. “High five to that… yes, absolutely it will,” she answered. Wanda encourages her twin boys to talk about Kenny a lot.
As a family, they share stories and memories, and Wanda said that makes it feel like Kenny is still with them all the time. She also admitted something crazy that happens in public. Sometimes, when she and the boys go grocery shopping, or to a restaurant or hotel, one of Kenny’s many hit songs will start to play in the background.
Wanda calls that a pleasant surprise. She also believes she gets signs from Kenny in nature. She said there are little red birds around their home, and sometimes, when she and her sons are talking about Kenny, one of the little birds will land on the window sill and look inside at them.
One thing is for sure: Kenny definitely gave Wanda his blessing — and she’s bravely moving on with her life.
This past weekend, TMZ reported that Scott Disick was spotted at LA’s Catch Steak on Friday, March 15th. It was shockingly clear that Scott had lost quite a bit of weight.
TMZ claimed that Scott was out for a “hearty meal with some close companions,” including a “pretty famous fashion model.” But why did Scott look so moody and painfully skinny?
Could he be heartbroken over his breakups with Sofia Richie and Kourtney Kardashian? Both beautiful women are happy with their new husbands and growing families.
It turns out that the “pretty famous fashion model” that TMZ was referring to isn’t a lady linked to Scott. The model is a guy named Jordan Barrett, although TMZ did call him a “real good-lookin’ dude.”
Scott Has Been Focusing on His Weight
TMZ also admitted that Scott is a “good deal skinnier” than he has ever looked. Could those dark circles under his eyes indicate that he feels sleepless and alone while Kourtney and Sofia are more radiant than ever?
The TMZ article’s photos show Scott wearing baggy clothes. The report claims that Scott’s weight loss “could easily be overblown by the wardrobe.” Whatever the reason, Scott doesn’t look particularly healthy in those pictures.
Scott has allegedly been focusing on his weight recently. Shockingly, Scott told a doctor he was gaining weight but losing his “sexual prowess” at the same time.
This was revealed during a recent episode of “The Kardashians,” when Khloe Kardashian accompanied Scott to a doctor’s office. During his doctor’s appointment, Scott complained about a back injury he got after a car crash two years ago.
In an on-camera solo confessional, before going to the doctor’s office, Khloe explained, “We are getting Scott’s MRI results today.” She also said that Scott “maybe needs to realize that these things are fixable.” Khloe claimed, “You can’t let it get you down.”
When they appeared in the doctor’s office at an LA sports rehab clinic, the doctor asked Scott how he was doing. Scott made another shocking confession.
Scott wore a baseball cap to the doctor’s appointment and kept his sunglasses on like he wanted to hide under the hat and shades. He admitted to the doctor that since his car accident, “everything has changed.”
Scott Recently Received His MRI Results
Scott claimed that he “hasn’t been able to run around,” and he’s “gained weight.” Then, the sports doctor dropped a bombshell about Scott’s MRI results.
The doctor told Scott there was “good news and bad news” with the MRI. Allegedly, Scott was “on the verge of possibly needing surgery,” but the doctor also broke the good news that Scott could “save it” without doing surgery.
Later in the scene, Scott is shown getting a rehab laser treatment with the doctor. He jokes that his back injury has seriously affected his love life. Khloe is heard saying she’s “not going to let that happen.”
Weirdly, Scott told the doctor that the 2022 car crash had ruined his life. But in April 2022, People.com reported that Scott was depressed about losing his “best friend,” Kourtney after she became seriously involved with Travis Barker.
On an episode of “The Kardashians,” Scott talked to Khloe about “feeling left out and not being told anything.” He said it was “super hurtful” because he no longer had another “family to go to.” The People article explained that Scott lost his mom near the end of 2013 and his father a few months later.
Although Khloe told Scott it was probably better not to be around Kourtney and Travis and watch their PDA on full display, Scott’s shocking opinion was, “I’d rather be around [Kourtney and Travis]… than not at all.”
Scott also confessed that it was a “huge adjustment” losing Kourtney romantically and as a “best friend.” He admitted, “Now we’re really just more co-parenters. I’d say it’s probably one of the more difficult things in my life.”
During the week of March 11th, Reality Tea began to reveal how Janelle Brown is coping following the tragic passing of her 25-year-old son, Garrison Brown, on March 5th.
Media outlets, as well as members of the Brown family, had revealed that Garrison’s funeral took place on March 9th. Days later, Janelle shared an Instagram Story updating her followers on how she is coping with the loss of Garrison.
After Garrison was laid to rest, Janelle revealed that she went to North Carolina to stay with her oldest daughter, Maddie. Janelle posted sweet photos on Instagram, including one where she’s walking with her grandchildren on a sandy beach. Janelle captioned the photo, “Some water and sun therapy… AND GRAND BABIES.”
In another photo, her grandchildren Evie and Axel are shown playing on the beach in the ocean waves. Janelle explained in the caption that it was “spring break” for the “Kiddos,” and they decided to head “to the beach for the day.”
Janelle didn’t discuss Garrison’s passing directly in the post. She described the weather at the beach as “beautiful” but the water as “still chilly.” She also claimed that “it didn’t stop Evie or Axel.”
Janelle posted another Instagram message to her 1.3 million followers, saying, “I have been brought to tears again.” She had been told how many people donated to the cat shelter where Garrison had adopted his pet cats.
Janelle wrote, “Thank you all for your generosity. It means so much.”
Garrison Was “a Friend and Extraordinary Cat Lover”
Janelle confessed that the cats Garrison adopted from High Country Humane and Ark Cat Sanctuary “were so important to him.” She wrote that Garrison “loved being a cat dad.”
She also shared a social media post from High Country Humane after the cat shelter decided to honor her son in a “very special way.” High Country Humane wrote that they were remembering and celebrating Garrison’s life. They called him “a friend and extraordinary cat lover.”
High Country Humane revealed that Garrison’s kindness “touched the lives of all who knew him, both two and four-legged,” and his “unwavering love for cats was a heartfelt passion.” Their post also revealed that donations collected in memory of Garrison have totaled $13,000 so far. With those donations, High Country Humane reported being “able to feed and care for 150 cats.”
In closing, High Country Humane described “Garrison’s legacy,” which they called “compassion, laughter, and unconditional love.” They ended their post by writing that Garrison’s spirit would live on “in every meow, in every cozy lap nap, and in the purring contentment of the cats” that Garrison adored.
The U.S. Sun reported the shocking news that TLC has not canceled filming of Sister Wives in the wake of Garrison’s passing. According to a Brown family source, they are “normally always filming, whether it’s with actual cameras or on their phones.”
Sadly, the source also revealed to the Sun that Garrison’s untimely and unexpected loss “came during the timeline of filming,” and it was “assumed” that Janelle and Kody Brown did reunite at Garrison’s funeral.
Duane Chapman—aka ‘Dog the Bounty Hunter’—once had 13 children. Sadly, his 7th child, a daughter named Barbara Katie Chapman, passed away very young. Barbara lived in Alaska and had one child, a four-year-old son named Travis Drake-Lee Chapman.
In May 2006, a Colorado news outlet, 9News, covered Barbara’s tragic end. According to 9News, Barbara and a companion passed away in a car accident near Fairbanks, Alaska, on May 19, 2006.
The next day, Dog married his longtime love, Beth, at the Hilton Waikoloa Hotel in Hawaii. She became Dog’s 4th wife. The U.S. Sun reported that Dog held an emotional meeting with his family in Hawaii after learning the heartbreaking news about Barbara.
9News also reported that Dog and Beth gathered with ten of his surviving children in that family meeting, including the two kids that Dog and Beth had together. Allegedly, the Chapman family discussed whether Dog and Beth’s wedding should proceed on Saturday.
The family agreed that Dog and Beth should get married. But, their wedding would also include a celebration of Barbara’s life. Hawaii News Now confirmed these details and added that Dog also consulted with the minister performing his wedding ceremony.
They did not inform guests at their wedding, waiting until the reception to tell everyone else about the news. Hawaii News Now reported that Dog became emotional at the reception while he celebrated Barbara’s life. Many guests were “visibly upset.”
Barbara and Scott May Have Been Driving Under the Influence
9News reported the confirmation of Alaska State Troopers that Barbara was riding in a stolen vehicle driven by Scott Standefer II on May 19th. Barbara and Scott both perished in the accident. They were just 23 years old.
Allegedly, Barbara and Scott also stole a credit card. They attempted to use it at a resort about 50 miles northeast of Fairbanks. It appeared that they failed to rent a room using the stolen card.
Barbara and Scott then left the area in the stolen vehicle, which allegedly crashed for an unconfirmed reason after that. Alaska State Trooper Jeremy Stone told 9News, “There is no clue as to why they left the roadway.”
He described the scene of the accident as having “absolutely no skid marks on the road.” Trooper Stone guesses the stolen vehicle Barbara and Scott were in “went off the road, hit an embankment and launched.”
Sadly, Alaska State Trooper spokesman Greg Wilkinson was more convinced that Barbara and Scott may have been drinking or under the influence of substances, contributing to their fatal car accident. 9News confirmed that Barbara and Scott were transferred to Anchorage, Alaska, and toxicology tests had been scheduled to determine if there were substances in their systems.
Lyssa Rae Brittain was Barbara’s mother and Dog’s third wife. In an exclusive interview with the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Lyssa described her daughter’s life and tragic end.
According to Lyssa, “Barbara had gotten herself into a terrible mess.” But Lyssa also claimed that Barbara was “trying as hard as she could to put her life back together.”
Dog Joined in the Search for Brian Laundrie
Dog and Lyssa had three children together. Barbara was the oldest, born in June 1982. Tucker Dee Chapman, a son, was born in September 1983, and Lyssa Rae, their youngest daughter, was born in June 1987.
Lyssa Rae is well-known among Dog the Bounty Hunter fans for her involvement in the family’s reality show. She was nicknamed “Baby Lyssa” so as not to confuse viewers with her mom, who was referred to within the family as “Big Lyssa.”
People reported on the background of all of Dog’s children, including his baby son, Zebediah. He was born to Dog’s second wife, Ann, in 1980 but sadly passed away just one month after birth.
The People article included details about Lyssa, such as the birth of her daughter in 2002 when she was just 15. After Lyssa moved to Oahu, Hawaii, she married Brahman “Bo” Galanti in February 2009. They divorced just two years later.
Questions have been asked about why Barbara didn’t go to Hawaii for Dog’s wedding to Beth. Many wanted to know if she was estranged from Dog before she passed away. Dog hasn’t answered these questions directly, but Barbara was allegedly on Dog’s mind in 2021 during an interview with Fox News.
Fox News confirmed that Dog had “joined the manhunt for Brian Laundrie.” This search was connected to the infamous case of the late Gabby Petito, who was allegedly fatally harmed by Brian. Sources alleged that the Gabby Petito case was “personal” for Dog because Gabby passed away around the same age as Barbara.
Lyssa Hasn’t Seen Her Mom Since Barbara Passed Away
Lyssa Rae was interviewed by Fox411 when she was 25 years old after a book about her childhood, “Walking on Eggshells,” was published. As Barbara’s younger sister, Lyssa’s account of her childhood is like a glimpse into what life must have been like for Barbara, too.
Lyssa’s preteen years sadly included being intimately harmed by one of Dog’s former friends, at just 11 years old. At this time, it’s alleged that Dog also suffered from dependence on substances, although Lyssa claimed that Dog “was doing the best that he could at the time,” and he did eventually get clean.
In the Fox411 interview, Lyssa claimed, “My mom still drinks a lot.” Lyssa said it was hard for her to be really close with her mom. Sadly, Lyssa added that she hadn’t seen her mom since Barbara passed away.
Lyssa also described the situation between her parents before they got divorced. She told Fox411, “I feel like my mom had a lot of hurt feelings about my Dad, too.”
Although Lyssa claimed in the interview that she had “issues” with Beth, she said her relationship with Dog was better than ever. It also appears that Lyssa became closer with Dog and Beth after joining the cast of Dog the Bounty Hunter in Oahu.
Dog Has Temporary Custody of His Grandson
Five years after Barbara’s passing, a report was published by Hawaii News Now. Barbara’s son, Travis, was living with his father, Travis Mimms, in Honolulu, and an upstairs neighbor alleged that Travis Mimms was physically harming his son.
The neighbor allegedly recorded audio of Travis getting lashed with a belt. Dog took Travis Mimms to court, using the neighbor’s evidence to request temporary custody of his grandson.
Dog confirmed that he and Beth were not seeking permanent custody of Travis Jr. He told Hawaii News Now that he wanted Travis Mimms “to get help and take parental classes” before the authorities returned his son to his home.
He also wrote a statement to the court and described the last phone call he ever had with Barbara. Dog alleged that Barbara begged him, “Please, Daddy, take care of Travis. Don’t ever let anything happen to him.”
Dog added, “We all hope and pray that Travis Sr. will be able to raise his son with the love and respect he deserves because it’s in everyone’s best interests for them to have a proper father-son relationship.”
Loni Love has used her platform to spotlight women’s health. In January 2023, she revealed that she’d had gallbladder surgery.
She shared a photo on Instagram and captioned it by asking if anyone had ever had the team working in O.R. to pray for them. She said that’s what she did when she had to go to the O.R. for gallbladder surgery. Loni also quickly comforted fans by saying that she was fine.
The surgery was to remove her gallbladder. Gallbladder surgery typically happens when someone has a lot of gallstones.
According to the Mayo Clinic, gallstones can cause problems in the body. They can form polyps, which can turn into cancer. Most people have gallbladder surgery because gallstones are causing them pain.
Loni shared an update on her recovery from the surgery through Instagram. The post showed Loni sitting in an examination room with wires on her chest. She asked her fans in the caption when they last had a physical.
She went on to say that her doctor said her heart was good. However, her doctor also advised her to keep losing weight.
Loni Is a Weight Watchers Ambassador
Health has been a topic that Loni has taken to heart. She joined Weight Watchers in 2019 and became an ambassador.
Loni said that Oprah inspired her to join because she said that Loni could still enjoy shots even while on the program. She had tried fad diets before, but she believed what Oprah was saying about Weight Watchers. She also liked how accessible it was since it didn’t cut out any types of food.
Loni also credited her boyfriend, James Welsh, for supporting her. When she first joined Weight Watchers, she announced her journey with James at her side on Facebook.
She said that participating in the program was new for them, but James was excited to join her on her journey. They planned to motivate and support each other.
Loni also admitted to People Magazine that she needed a little bit of help learning about making healthy choices. Weight Watchers was a resource she could use to learn more about food.
Loni’s mission for better health comes from a love for her community. During an interview with Bet, Loni talked about what motivates her to be an ambassador for health. She said that while she supports body positivity, there needs to be good health as well.
Loni explained that Black Americans historically have high blood pressure and problems with cholesterol. Those are issues that can lead to even bigger health problems down the line. Since she had a platform, she wanted to use it to shed light on health issues.
Loni Aims to Teach Young Black Americans About Health
When she woke up after her gallbladder operation, she knew that she needed to start talking about health. She was aware that there weren’t many people in her community talking about it. She felt that being transparent about her own health might encourage other people to have a check-up with the doctor, too.
While some people might feel some shame that they needed to have surgery, she said that she didn’t feel shame at all. She believes everything happens for a reason and she had this surgery to talk to others about it.
Loni especially wants to teach younger Black Americans about health. Although her doctor told her that she doesn’t need her gallbladder to survive, she wants to try and reach the younger generations to have them take care of their health before they start needing surgeries.
Her message has been to work on yourself now, as young as possible, so you can grow up healthy and not need surgeries or medications. She believes that if she can get younger people to take care of themselves, she’s done her job.
During another interview with People Magazine, Loni said she had a big concern for people in her community regarding their health. She wanted her community to realize that they don’t always take care of themselves in the best way.
One resource they could use was Weight Watchers as she was doing. Through the program, she was learning about eating fresh food and how she can make eating fresh food work for her busy lifestyle.
Loni Says That Health is Wealth
The program has been working for Loni. In October 2022, she had already lost 40 pounds. Her doctor encouraged her to keep losing weight, however.
Loni also talked about being a role model for Black Women during an episode of Sherri. She said that she still has a way to go when it comes to her weight.
Black women often have problems with diabetes, heart problems, or cholesterol. So, if she could encourage Black women to take care of themselves by losing weight herself, then that’s what she wants to do.
Loni often encourages her fans to go to the doctor to get their numbers checked. She says that health is wealth, and your bank account may as well be zero if you don’t have good health.
While Loni is seemingly in good health following her gallbladder surgery, she still plans to keep losing weight. She encourages everyone to have regular physicals and be aware of their numbers to stay healthy even as they age.

A bar belonging to Luke Bryan has reportedly had an investigation launched into its serving practices. TMZ first reported that licensing authority the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission is looking into the Nashville bar in relation to a missing college student.
Riley Strain has been missing for over a week after hitting the town with some friends last Friday. The 22-year-old was at one point in the evening allegedly kicked out of the bar, known as Luke’s 32 Bridge. He was then separated from his group and went off on his own.
According to TMZ, Riley had told his friends that he would meet them back at the hotel they were all staying at. However, when his party came back, he was nowhere to be found.
An extensive search has been conducted across Nashville. And now, the search has brought a state agency back to the doors of Luke’s bar. The Commission is reportedly wanting to establish whether Riley might have been overserved during his time at the bar.
The licensing body told TMZ that there are no definitive rules governing a business’s ability to remove intoxicated customers from the premises. However, there are laws about giving too much alcohol to patrons who have had enough.
Tennessee law says that it is considered a class A misdemeanor to serve someone who is visibly intoxicated. This is what the commission has opened an investigation into at 32 Bridge.
The Search for Riley Strain Continues
Since then, crews have searched across the city streets and to a nearby riverbank, with some theorizing that he might have fallen in the water. Surveillance footage has since emerged showing the college student stumbling down a street in town. According to TMZ, the footage seemed to show Riley appearing visibly intoxicated.
It was also reported that Luke himself has spoken up about the disappearance in the last few days. The country singer has asked for prayers in the hope that Riley can be found. He also said that his bar is fully cooperating with law enforcement and providing any video footage that could help.
On Wednesday, Riley’s family spoke to People magazine about the “pure hell” they’ve been living through in the last week. His stepfather, Christopher Whiteid, told the outlet that Riley had FaceTimed his mom from a different bar earlier that night. He went on to say that the family didn’t know anything was wrong until the next morning when they got a call from Riley’s friends.
People reported that they were on the road to Nashville in the next thirty minutes. After reading the police report from Riley’s friends, the family started visiting “every emergency room” in Nashville. Christopher described the torment of not knowing what was going on.
However, the family has not given up hope, and told People, “We still have opportunities to find him.” Riley’s family has not commented on the investigation into Luke’s bar.
Caryn Chandler, Matt Roloff’s fiance, has officially sold her house in Portland, Oregon — and it seems to be causing issues between the two of them.
Although Matt and Caryn have seemingly lived together unofficially since Matt’s divorce from his ex-wife, Amy Roloff, they still kept separate residences.
Caryn owned a 1,459 square foot house in Portland, Oregon that she bought for $405,000 in November of 2020. She sold the property for $529,000. Her adult son, Connor, lived there with her, which allegedly delayed her plans to sell the house by almost a year.
Matt and Caryn Got Engaged While He Was Building His New House
Matt and Caryn got engaged in April of 2023, as Matt was building his dream home on Roloff Farms. On the new season of Little People Big World, the interior design and house building process has caused a major rift between Matt and Caryn.
On the show, both Matt and Caryn were seen fighting over many interior design decisions.Caryn explained that she doesn’t think of the house as their own, shared house, even though Matt claims that he’s building it to be their house, not just his.
Whenever Matt brought up an interior design choice he was making, Caryn seemed to get angry, upset, and tell him that his ideas were bad, but that it ultimately wasn’t her house.
After Matt defended himself by saying, “I want this to be our house,” Caryn quickly replied, “Well I appreciate that, but it’s still always going to be your house that we’re gonna share.”
Caryn Says She Doesn’t See the House As Their Own
Caryn elaborated that she doesn’t look at it as their house because they aren’t married, and this house is just a place that she happens to cohabitate in. This revelation comes as a surprise, though, because the couple allegedly does own a house together.
According toThe Sun, Matt and Caryn bought a two-bed two and a half-bath condo in Arizona from Caryn’s parents in 2018. Caryn does allegedly see that property as their shared home, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at Roloff Farms.
Caryn’s son, Connor, spoke with The Sun and explained that Caryn actually prefers living in Arizona to Oregon, and he thinks that she’ll retire there one day.
Could Caryn Have Ulterior Motives?
Is that the real reason why Caryn doesn’t see Matt’s brand new home on Roloff Farms as their shared home? Is it because she doesn’t actually want to live in Oregon in the first place? And that she would rather be in Arizona?
Connor also revealed that Matt and Caryn allegedly have plans to get married in May of 2024, although he wasn’t sure what date exactly.
Given all the drama and fighting surrounding their living arrangements, you have to wonder if they’ll even make it down the aisle in the first place…

Wendy Williams used to be the most shocking TV talk show host. She never held back, even when she knew her opinion would be hugely unpopular.
But Wendy never expected the tragic direction her life has taken. What’s happening to her now is more scandalous than any hot topic she ever ripped apart on air.
Wendy’s downfall began with her long-time cheating husband. Because this was Wendy, she threw shade at her ex, Kevin Hunter, on her show for bigger shock value. Wendy was good at being dramatic but still so entertaining.
However, inside sources told another side of the story. People reported shocking details of just how long Kevin cheated and the terrible effect it had on Wendy. A source close to Wendy alleged to People that Kevin had cheated on Wendy for 15 of the 21 years they were married.
As Wendy moved forward with her divorce from Kevin, reports surfaced that he and his mistress had a baby together. The source told People that Kevin’s infidelity made Wendy realize that it was time for her to move on with her life.
She was supposedly even going to seek treatment. Wendy has battled with a drinking problem and dependence on substances throughout her entire life. In the lead-up to her divorce, it got so much worse than anyone knew.
At one point before her divorce, the Daily Mail reported that Wendy checked out of a sober living facility. She ended up being taken to a NYC hospital after being found too intoxicated to function properly. The most shocking thing was that Wendy continued hosting her talk show live every day.
Wendy Underwent a Series of Medical Tests
But then, one day, she just seemed to disappear. TMZ alleged that Wendy was saying “goodbye to TV” in August 2022. But Harvey Levin also said during a segment on TMZ Live that Wendy “had a plan.”
Shockingly, Wendy did a crazy interview on TMZ Live that got viewers even more concerned about her tragic situation. It was obvious that Wendy was in some kind of physical or emotional distress. People were not throwing shade when they suggested she must be seriously ill.
The situation became even crazier on February 22nd when information was published about Wendy’s health and personal battles. PR Newswire released a statement on behalf of Wendy’s so-called “care team.”
The statement addressed how Wendy has lost words and acted erratically over the past two years. The statement also claimed that Wendy had been experiencing “difficulty understanding financial transactions.”
In 2023, it is alleged that Wendy underwent “a battery of medical tests.” As a result of medical testing, the statement claimed that Wendy “was officially diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia” and FTD, which is a form of dementia.
Both conditions will allegedly affect Wendy’s behavior and cognitive functions, although the statement ended with this: “Wendy is still able to do so many things for herself. Most importantly, she maintains her trademark sense of humor.”
In another People update published on February 22nd, the shocking detail emerged that Wendy’s financial advisor asked Wells Fargo to freeze her assets in 2022 because she was allegedly of “unsound mind.” Inside sources have also thrown shade at Wendy’s son, Kevin Hunter Jr., with allegations that he has spent Wendy’s money in the past and exploited her wealth.
A Documentary About Wendy Aired in February 2024
Why was everyone trying to set the record straight on February 22nd? The reason was a two-part documentary about Wendy that recently aired on Lifetime.
This documentary is so scandalous it got Wendy’s formerly anonymous “legal guardian” to go public with a shocking lawsuit. TMZ reported that Sabrina Morrissey was appointed Wendy’s guardian in 2022.
Sabrina was suing A&E Television Networks, who own Lifetime, to prevent the documentary from being aired. Other media outlets reported that Wendy approved and signed off on the Lifetime documentary.
Shockingly, Wendy alleges in the documentary that her guardian stole money from her. Lifetime claims that Wendy provided no evidence that proves Sabrina’s guilt. Today.com was one source that alleged Wendy was trying to “get a handle on her life and well-being” after she stepped away from her beloved show, reporting that Wendy was credited as an executive producer on her documentary.
This situation keeps getting crazier—so what’s the real truth? Wendy’s niece, Alex Finnie, appeared on The View on Thursday, February 22nd. People.com reported Alex’s shocking on-air claims.
Alex alleged that close family members were trying to “gather information” from her medical team about her serious medical conditions. She claimed that a wall went down between them and Wendy. The family was blocked out after Sabrina was appointed legal guardian.
Wendy’s Family Was Unable to Contact Her
Alex claimed that Wendy’s blood relatives could only speak to her when she called them from a blocked phone, so they didn’t know the number. Alex told The View co-hosts: “We went through birthdays, we went through holidays, we went through illness.” Then, Alex confessed that when Wendy’s 93-year-old father was hospitalized, the family had no way to inform Wendy.
Wendy’s sister, Wanda, is Alex’s mom. Wanda told People in an exclusive interview: “I do know that this system is broken.” She added that her family was fighting to remove Wendy from Sabrina’s control.
But shockingly, Wanda also alleged to People that Wendy’s adult son, Kevin, was still being financially supported by Wendy. Kevin made his own shocking claims in Wendy’s documentary, including when he said: “She has people around her that are ‘yes people’ and allowing this to continue.” He added: “My mom has done a great job making it seem like everything is OK always, but in reality, there’s something wrong going on.”
If you didn’t catch Wendy’s documentary when it originally aired, it was an unsettling experience with no filter, like Wendy always was on her talk show. At one point in the documentary, Wendy gets verbally angry with someone driving her around New York City. Sadly, she can be heard saying that she doesn’t know where she is and “this doesn’t look like anything familiar.”
In the Where Is Wendy Williams?trailer, Wendy even addressed the money scandal. In heartbreaking moments, the documentary shows how Wendy’s blood relatives have tried to come to her aid when Wendy “cried for help” and Wendy is even filmed crying into a throw pillow during one unbelievable confessional.
The Documentary Was Upsetting to Film
It was also alleged in the documentary that Wendy was still struggling with a drinking problem before her medical conditions were diagnosed correctly. One of her family members found a bottle in her bedroom.
They shockingly asked Wendy, “Did you drink this whole thing today?” Then, Wendy got angry and ordered them to “keep the bottle there” by her bedside.
On February 27th, Fox News reported claims by high-level Lifetime executives who said they “never would have done the documentary” had they known in advance that Wendy was suffering from aphasia and FTD dementia. Mark Ford is a Lifetime producer. Fox News said that Mark told The Hollywood Reporter thatit was challenging to film Wendy as “she clearly struggled.”
Lifetime is facing accusations that Wendy’s documentary exploited her sad condition, and Mark also claimed that wasn’t the truth. He said the filmmakers wanted viewers to understand “how upsetting it was for all of us in certain instances” to know that Wendy allegedly did not have someone caring for her 24/7.
Mark claimed: “Wendy would be left alone without food, completely on her own in that apartment with stairs.” She could have easily fallen. But Mark specifically told The Hollywood Reporter: “Of course, if we had known that Wendy had dementia going into it, no one would’ve rolled a camera.”
Wendy’s tragic downfall may have been caught on camera. But still, her saga continues. Sadly, we’ll have to wait and see if her guardianship under Sabrina continues, if her sister and niece regain contact with Wendy, or if her son has actually continued to live off his mother’s wealth.
Hopefully, Wendy can get better now that she’s receiving the proper treatment for her medical conditions. But the real truth about Wendy’s health and future remains very uncertain.
Kelly Clarkson’s divorce battle with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock continues. On March 14th, Page Six reported that Kelly was suing Brandon for the second time in an LA court.
Page Six confirmed that Kelly’s court complaint was filed on March 11th. In it, she’s accusing Brandon of violating labor laws in California by acting as her “unlicensed talent agent” during their marriage.
Labor laws in California that regulate the entertainment industry are fairly strict. According to Page Six, “Only talent agents, with a few exceptions, are supposed to ink employment deals for their clients.”
Kelly’s complaint also names her ex-father-in-law (and Reba’s ex-husband), Narvel Blackstock, in the lawsuit. Narvel owns a management company called Starstruck Entertainment that employs Brandon, who had represented Kelly before and during their marriage.
Brandon allegedly violated the Talent Agencies Act in California when he began booking “business deals on her behalf” during their marriage without holding a talent agent license in the state. Also, Starstruck Entertainment had allegedly been serving as Kelly’s unlicensed talent booker as far back as 2007.
This Is Not the First Time Kelly Has Sued Brandon
Page Six obtained a copy of Kelly’s lawsuit on March 14th. The lawsuit reads that Starstruck is accused of “wrongful acts and conduct.”
The lawsuit also claims that “all agreements between the parties should be declared void and unenforceable.” In layperson’s terms, Kelly is suing Brandon and Starstruck for the money previously paid to them for acting as her allegedly unlicensed talent agent. According to Page Six, Kelly wants the payments returned for profits, advances, various fees, commissions, producing fees, and “other monies.”
The first time Kelly sued Brandon for professional reasons, she won a significant amount in her lawsuit. Page Six published an exclusive about it on November 30, 2023, reporting that Brandon was ordered to return millions of dollars to Kelly after a California labor commissioner ruled that he overcharged her as her manager during their marriage.
In the ruling, Brandon was found guilty of overcharging Kelly $2,641,374 in management fees. Page Six claimed that Brandon would be seeking to appeal that ruling. Although Page Six claimed the exclusive on this story, they reported that TMZ was the first outlet to view and analyze the legal documents in the case brought before the labor commissioner.
TMZ reported on November 30th that they’d viewed the legal documents, which found Brandon guilty of acting unlawfully as Kelly’s manager when “he booked gigs and inked deals for Kelly on ‘The Voice,’ Norwegian Cruise Line, Wayfair,” and also when Kelly was named host of the Billboard Music Awards on three occasions.
Kelly was forced to accept one ruling from the labor commissioner that was not in her favor. She sued Brandon for “whatever percentage he pocketed after she scored her talk show.” Page Six reported that Brandon was allowed to keep that money.
Kelly Is Happily Single Right Now
On March 14th, Page Six confirmed that Brandon is currently appealing Kelly’s first lawsuit. Still, they reported that Brandon “will have a weaker argument” if Kelly wins her second lawsuit, “which covers 10 additional years than her former complaint.”
Brandon’s lawyer is Bryan Freedman, and Page Six shared a statement that Bryan had made to Rolling Stone. Bryan alleged that “it is morally, ethically, and legally wrong to attempt to get monies back from your ex-husband.”
Bryan also claimed that Brandon “helped” Kelly “as her manager.” Brandon allegedly “used those earnings on their children… during the marriage.”
However, Page Six reported that Brandon’s lawyer failed to mention that Kelly proceeded to counter-claim and sue Brandon after Starstruck sued her in 2020 for $1.4 million in “unpaid commissions” from “The Voice” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
Kelly’s bitter divorce from Brandon was settled in March 2022. One of the most significant issues between them was custody of their children and ownership of their ranch in Montana. Page Six confirmed that Kelly was awarded “primary custody” of daughter River Rose and son Remy, and she got to keep her beloved Montana ranch.
In September 2023, Kelly shared some personal news on Instagram Live. She joked, “Do I have a boyfriend? No! And not looking. You know why? I love being single.”
Kelly explained, “I have two kids, two dogs, three rabbits, a hamster, multiple jobs—there’s a lot going on.” She added that it’s been hard for her to start over when she had thought that she was “going to spend the rest of [her] life with somebody,” and sadly, that’s no longer the case.
