Although Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO celebrated his big win as New Artist of the Year at the 2023 CMAs, this year has been tough on Bunnie personally. Her father, Bill, is suffering from Stage 4 cancer and is now in hospice care.

Bunnie Claps Back at Cruel Commenter

One cruel Instagram commenter recently accused Bunnie of promoting the wrong kind of music while her dad “is laid up in a hospital” and close to passing away. This commenter said that Bunnie’s behavior was “UN-CHRISTIAN LIKE…”

Bunnie clapped back, calling the commenter a “roach motel of a human.” Then she confirmed that Bill “was moved to hospice” and chastised those who think critically of her or her family without understanding what’s going on behind the scenes.

Bunnie reminded the person who made that rude comment that she’s choosing what she wants to share publicly. She then shared an Instagram Story video of her visiting Bill in his hospice facility.

In the video, she walks to Bill’s bedside, bends down, and gives him a long, gentle hug. The background sound is Scotty McCreery’s “Five More Minutes.” The lyrics of the song talk about being present and appreciating every second with your loved ones.

Healing Took Place In the Midst of Tragedy

Bunnie also shared an update on her hectic life right now. She said she was moving and trying to make her house a home. She also wrote that she is “trying to smile through heartbreak.” On top of all that, Bunnie wrote that she is “making sure” that Bill “wants for nothing.” She also said that she’s “been so blessed to have this time with him” and thanked God for “helping heal her inner little girl as well as her dad’s inner child.”

Bunnie’s followers know that she had a difficult childhood. She was estranged from her dad for many years. She was then shocked to learn that her dad kept his cancer a secret for at least 12 months after he first got diagnosed. The only other person who knew the truth was Bill’s wife. Bill decided to attempt to heal himself with natural remedies, but holistic treatments weren’t effective. When he began having extreme difficulty walking and could no longer eat well, he contacted his daughter.

Bunnie took action immediately and moved Bill from Texas to Tennessee. She put together a new team of medical professionals for Bill in Nashville. the plan was to help Bill be as comfortable as possible while trying to find treatments that could address his type of cancer. Now it seems that Bill is unfortunately in the final stage of the disease.

Jelly Roll Is In Awe of His Wife

Jelly Roll opened up to Taste of Country recently. In the interview, he confirmed that Bill is in the last phase of his life. He added that Bill is “doing a lot better now that he’s here” and that he was “holding his head up really high.”

Jelly Roll enjoys praising his wife online. Lasts July, he uploaded a photo of them and captioned it “A BUNNIE APPRECIATION POST.”

“A lot is often said or made about MY story… but the truth is… I’ve never been moved more by a story than the story of my wife,” he wrote, adding that watching Bunnie overcome things in her life and seeing her passion and determination to become better has inspired him from the moment they first met.

Mike ‘The Situation’ Shares the Moment His Mom and Wife Saved Him

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino opened up about the moment his mom and wife saved him from going down a dark path. 

The Jersey Shore star discussed his struggle with addiction and recovery journey in an exclusive interview with ABC’s Stephanie Ramos on Impact x Nightline. “I was in a really bad place,” he said. “I was broke. I was unemployed. I was months behind on my rent.” 

A ‘Come to God Moment’

Mike described coming home one day with something stronger than the prescription painkillers he would usually take — heroin. “I told myself, ‘Maybe I’ll just try it,” he recalled. He locked his door and told his wife Lauren that he was going to sleep for the night and wanted to be left alone.  

Then, his phone rang. It was his mother. “Are you okay?” she asked. Mike said, “I’m fine mom, why?” 

“I feel like something’s wrong,” she answered. Mike described this phone call as a “come to god moment.” He added that as soon as he stopped what he was about to do and hung up, he heard a knock on the door. It was Lauren. “My wife was knocking on the door. So this is a very emotional moment for me. They saved me,” he told ABC. 

Grateful for How Far He’s Come

Mike has been very open about his sobriety journey. Back in January, he spoke to TooFab about being nearly eight years sober and reuniting with his castmates on TV for “Jersey Shore Family Vacation.” 

“I love it,” he told TooFab. “Because for so long people had forecasted that I wasn’t going to be any good on TV or I wasn’t going to be able to be funny or I wouldn’t be able to last being sober.”

“Now going into my eighth year, I think the product that MTV gets and the fans get is the best version of The Situation,” he added. 

“I’m funnier and I have more lines and I’m more authentic. I love that fact that I’m the voice of reason and I have all my wits about me to be able to navigate this madness that is ‘Jersey Shore.'”

Mike has also been committed to helping others on a recovery journey. In 2019, he and his wife partnered with Banyan Treatment Centers to raise awareness about addiction. “Also, we want to shed light on the fact that there are positive stories out there — we do recover,” he told PEOPLE. “Most importantly, the comeback is truly greater than the setback.” 

Mike also shared with PEOPLE that he is grateful for how far he’s come since his partying days in his twenties and thirties. At 41, he is now focused on his family. He and Lauren have two kids together: Romeo, who is two, and Mia, who is 9 months old. 

In September 2023, the couple announced that they’re expecting baby No. 3. 

Nicki Minaj Says She Regrets Cosmetic Surgery

Nicki Minaj revealed how she really feels about her past cosmetic procedures — she regrets them.

“I guarantee you, if you change anything on your body and do anything surgical and all this, you’re going to more than likely, not definitely, more than likely look back one day and say, ‘I was fine just the way I was,” said the rapper on “The Run-Through with Vogue” podcast. “And that’s what happened to me.”

Becoming a Mom Changed Nicki’s Outlook on Her Body

Nicki shared that she used to think her body wasn’t good enough. She felt the need to change all the things she didn’t like about herself. But that all changed after the birth of her son, who is known by the nickname Papa Bear.

Before becoming a mom, Nicki confessed that she used to avoid looking at old photos of herself because they made her feel bad and she didn’t like the way she looked in them. She thought her body looked too skinny, so she had cosmetic procedures in an attempt to feel more beautiful.

Seeing her son changed her outlook: “Seeing my son did remind me of myself so much. My real self. And it made me think, ‘Why didn’t I like this?’ So weird,” she said. After the birth of her son, Nicki started looking at her old pictures again and realized that she found herself beautiful in them and “fine the way she was.” Last June, she confirmed that she had a breast reduction.

Balancing Motherhood and Music Has Been a Challenge

The rapper is on the cover of the December issue of Vogue ahead of the release of her Pink Friday 2 album. Besides her comments about plastic surgery, she also opened up about motherhood. She said that it’s been a struggle trying to be an artist and a mother at the same time. Her son turned three on September 30, and it has been five years since she last released an album.

 “I think that deep down inside, I believed that once I had a family, I would just lose the desire to make music,” she told Vogue. “I would always tell people, ‘Watch, when I have a child I’m going to cook every meal for him and bake cookies every day.’ Maybe subconsciously I hoped my focus would just be on being a mother, and I looked forward to that idea. It felt like a relief. But what happens is that you find out you have to work.”

An Anticipated Album Release

Nicki recently shared her enthusiasm about her new album on Instagram Live. “This entire album will be the biggest gift I’ve ever given humanity thus far,” she said. “I can stand by that. I will bet any amount of money that Pink Friday 2, the album, is going to make people fall in love immediately.” She also told fans to expect a different type of tour from her.

“In addition to it being, of course, a whole new album, the approach to the tour will be very different and the feel of the tour will be very different. We still gon’ cover all the ground that is required to cover in order for y’all to know that you f******g with the best, but it won’t remind you of another tour,” she added.

Tour dates have not been announced yet.

Leah Messer Wants to Break Cycle of Teen Pregnancy

Leah Messer has opened up about her hopes for her family. The former Teen Mom star spoke to Teen Vogue and, fourteen years after her time on the show, revealed her desire to change the pattern of teen pregnancy that has long been part of her family.

The 31-year-old was asked what she would tell her younger self if she could. Her answer? That she would teach younger Leah more about the world to help her have a more rounded education around having babies at such a young age.

Teaching Her Daughters What She Was Never Taught

Leah added that she at least had the opportunity to teach her daughters the things she was never taught. She has regular talks with her kids about the importance of staying safe and has always focused on creating a safe space to have open discussions without guilt or shame. This means that whenever Leah’s kids ask her a question, she aims to answer it honestly.

Leah is hoping to beat the cycle of young pregnancies that has been running in her family for generations. Besides herself, both her mother and grandmothers became moms when they were teenagers. Studies have shown that teenage pregnancy has been linked to a history of teenage pregnancy in the family. However, Leah is confident that she can buck the trend by keeping her daughters informed and educated and paying attention as a parent.  

Breaking Teenage Pregnancy Cycles Through New Habits

For example, she wanted her daughter involved when she booked their first doctor’s appointments together next year. And she wanted to use that opportunity to have an open conversation with her kids about women’s health issues.  “It’s the little things, like booking their first gynecologist appointments together next year and having these open conversations with them… that I think will be enough to break the cycle,” she told Teen Vogue. That said, she also added that she would love her three kids no matter what their journey might be.

Leah shares ten-year-old Adalynn Faith with Jeremy Calvert, who she was married to from 2012 to 2015. She also shares twin daughters Aliannah Hope and Aleeah Grace, both 13, with second ex-husband Corey Simms. At 31, Leah is three years away from the age at which her own mother became a grandmother.

“It’s a sweet spot for us right now,” she told Teen Vogue. “I’m 31, but I feel younger than I ever have. I genuinely believe my life is just beginning. That’s how it feels — it’s just beginning.”

Jennifer Aniston Speaks Out On Matthew Perry’s Death

Jennifer Aniston finally spoke out on the tragic passing of her real-life friend—and Friends costar—Matthew Perry. She posted a heartbreaking message on Instagram along with a touching black-and-white photo of the two of them laughing together on the set of Friends.

The public has been waiting for Jennifer’s statement since Matthew passed away on October 28. Jennifer did not hold back. “Oh boy… this one has cut deep,” she wrote.

Jennifer Opened Up About Her Grief

“Having to say goodbye to our Matty has been an insane wave of emotions that I’ve never experienced before. We all experience loss at some point in our lives. Loss of life or loss of love. Being able to really SIT in this grief allows you to feel the moments of joy and gratitude for having loved someone that deep.” she added.

“We loved him deeply. He was such a part of our DNA. We were always the 6 of us. This was a chosen family that forever changed the course of who we were and what our path was going to be.”

She also recalled how much Matthew cared about making people laugh: “For Matty, he KNEW he loved to make people laugh. As he said himself, if he didn’t hear the ‘laugh’ he thought he was going to die. His life literally depended on it. And boy did he succeed in doing just that. He made all of us laugh. And laugh hard. In the last couple weeks, I’ve been pouring over our texts to one another. Laughing and crying then laughing again. I’ll keep them forever and ever. I found one text that he sent me out of nowhere one day. It says it all.”

Matthew Would Text Jennifer Out of Nowhere

In the second slide of her Instagram post, Jennifer shared a screenshot of a text message that Matthew “sent her out of nowhere one day.” The screenshot shows Matthew sending Jennifer the same photo featured in her Instagram post. “Making you laugh just made my day, It made my day,” he wrote. “Awwww… the first of thousands of times,” responded Jennifer.

The two co-stars remained close even after Friends stopped filming. In a 2022 interview with Diane Sawyer, Matthew opened up about their friendship and said Jennifer supported him through the ups and downs of his struggles with addiction and sobriety journey. “She was the one that reached out the most. You know, I’m really grateful to her for that,” he said. He also revealed that Jennifer was the one who confronted him about his addiction while filming Friends and said “we know you’re drinking.”

Being close to Matthew while he was struggling is perhaps why Jennifer ended her Instagram tribute by mentioning that she knows he is now at peace. “Matty, I love you so much and I know you are now completely at peace and out of any pain. I talk to you every day… sometimes I can almost hear you saying ‘could you BE any crazier?'”

“Rest little brother. You always made my day,” she concluded.

Are Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles Back Together?

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles’s relationship status has been one of the biggest questions amongst Chrisley Knows Best fans since September 2020, when the couple called off their engagement.

They began dating in 2017, got engaged quickly in 2018, called off the wedding and choosing just to date in 2019, until they finally seemed to call it quits on their relationship in September 2020.

However, when they did, fans noticed that they never really cut ties with each other. Nic is still a very big part of the Chisley family, and it’s got people wondering if maybe the couple is back together.

Well, today I’ve got an answer for you.

It seems extremely likely that Nic Kerdiles and Savannah Chrisley are back together.

Here’s why.

Although neither of the two have posted pictures together, they’re also not very private about the time they’re spending together.

Nic recently went on a family vacation with the Chrisleys in July 2021, and shared footage of both Todd and Chase, as well as a prank that he and Todd played on Chase.

Later in the trip, Savannah shared a video from a boat, confirming that she was on the trip with her family and her ex, but didn’t show any footage of Nic, and then later Nic posted a similar shot from the boat.

So there you have it, even though it hasn’t been confirmed by the couple yet, Savannah Chrisley and Nic Kerdiles appear to be in a relationship again.

I wish them the best, y’all! What do you think? Let me know in the comments!

Are Myrla and Gil from Married At First Sight Still Together? Spoiler Alert

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here, and today I’ve got one of the biggest MAFS spoilers I’ve ever seen this early in the season.

So take this as a warning, if you don’t want to know the spoiler, STOP READING!

Last week, we all watched Myrla and Gil get married, and we watched his family and friends make some interesting faces at all of the references to her materialistic habits during their wedding ceremony…

We haven’t even seen the reception yet, let alone the honeymoon and their following 8 weeks of marriage, but it still seemed like the couple was doomed from the start.

Well, we now have two indicators that point to Myrla and Gil divorcing on Season 13 of Married At First Sight.

First of all, we have Myrla’s wedding dress. Myrla spent a lot of money on the dress (it retails for $9,100!) and recently listed it for sale on a wedding dress website, called Still-White.com for $6,490.

Now here’s the thing… most people sell their wedding dresses when a marriage has gone south. Don’t get me wrong- some people aren’t very sentimental, and sell it even though they’re still married, but typically, people hold onto their wedding dresses for their future kids and grandkids.

The fact that Myrla is already selling hers, before the wedding has even finished airing on TV, does not bode well for the couple’s outcome, most likely.

But sure, there’s obviously some room for interpretation. There might be a perfectly logical story for why she’s selling her dress and still married to Gil.

However, a friend of one of Gil’s groomsmen recently posted something on the Married At First Sight SubReddit that gives us even more confirmation of the split.

The post reads:

Spoiler! So I went to college with one of Gil’s friends/groomsmen, and asked him flat out: “Do they last?” He laughed and said not even close. His exact words were “She’s awful. They set my boy up for failure.” I just knew I didn’t like Myrla. Poor Gil! He deserved better.

So, there you have it, folks. Myrla and Gil are most likely not going to stay married on Season 13 of Married At First Sight. It’s a shame, because they seem like decent people. However, it does look like Myrla is being set up as the villain of Season 13, not Ryan, like I previously thought.

What do you think of Season 13 so far? Let me know in the comments!

Are Meri and Kody Still Together On Sister Wives?

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

Easily one of the most popular questions from fans of Sister Wives is whether or not Meri and Kody are still married.

It makes sense- Meri was Kody’s first and only legal wife for years, until he legally divorced her to marry his fourth wife, Robyn, and adopt her children from her previous marriage.

On top of that, Meri made headlines a few years ago when it was revealed that she had an emotional affair with someone who ended up being a Catfish.

So it’s not exactly out of the question to wonder whether or not Kody and Meri are still married.

As for Meri, she doesn’t seem to do much with her family anymore.

Her only child with Kody, Mariah, lives in Utah with her fiance, Audrey, meaning that Meri doesn’t have anything keeping her in Flagstaff, Arizona, besides Kody and the other sister wives, and she doesn’t seem to spend much time there.

After Meri’s mother unfortunately passed away, Meri had to go to the B&B that she owns in Utah, and that her mother ran for her, to take over operations. This was just another situation that took her away from Flagstaff.

On top of all of this, Meri has consistently been posting things on social media that make it seem as though she’s not on the best terms with Kody and her other sister wives. She recently thanked a long list of people for their support after her mother’s passing, but both her husband and the other sister wives were conspicuously missing.

She also has been posting motivational quotes about growth happening when you’re lonely, amongst a ton of other motivational content, that allude to the fact that she might be going through a split with her husband, Kody.

On Kody’s side of things, it’s no secret to fans that Kody seems to favor his fourth wife, Robyn, of all of the sister wives.

After Meri’s catfishing scandal, Kody distanced himself from Meri both physically and emotionally. It has often been discussed on the show how the two no longer have a romantic relationship. Meri has tried to resolve these issues, but Kody has not been receptive.

So, for the final answer to the question that everyone’s been asking: are Kody and Meri still together?

Well, it’s complicated.

Legally, Kody and Meri are not married. However, they are allegedly still in their spiritual marriage, despite both Kody and Meri admitting that they no longer have a romantic relationship.

The next question is: will they continue on like this forever, or will they finally call it quits officially?

Hopefully we find out on a new season of Sister Wives!

Erik and Virginia from Married At First Sight’s Divorce is Finalized

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk Guy here.

We’ve got some bad news today as we can officially confirm that Erik and Virginia from Season 12 of Married At First Sight have finalized their divorce.

As everyone’s favorite Married At First Sight source, MAFSFan on Instagram, informed us of a few weeks ago, Erik and Virginia filed for divorce shortly after the season was completed.

There is one weird piece of this puzzle that hasn’t been solved yet…

And that’s that neither Erik nor Virginia have acknowledged their divorce yet!

Yes, you read that right, they haven’t even announced that they’re getting divorced, and it’s already been finalized.

To take it even further, they’re still pretending like they’re married!

Virginia often posts references to her Instagram Story about Erik, even on the same day that the court documents referencing their divorce were made public.

So, what’s going on with these two exactly?

It’s hard to say!

If they were going to try to work it out and stay together, why would they go through with the divorce?

And if they are going to divorce and live life separately, why are they pretending they’re still together?

The only theory that anyone can come up with is that they were slated to be featured on this season of Married At First Sight: Couples Cam, and that they aren’t allowed to talk about their divorce until it’s been featured on Couples Cam.

It will be interesting to see how it plays out, but if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that Erik and Virginia are no longer legally married!

Christine from Sister Wives’ Extreme Weight Loss Transformation

Hey y’all- Max, the Celeb Talk guy here.

A lot of you may have heard in my videos about the Sister Wives that I’ve been reading their 2013 book, “Becoming Sister Wives: The Story of an Unconventional Marriage.”

In the book, a lot of the love story between Kody and Christine Brown focuses on how he wasn’t attracted to her at first because she was “chubby.” (Kody’s own words)

Over the years and as she had babies, Christine’s weight has fluctuated, which is why fans took note when she started posting photos of her extreme weight loss on social media.

Now that most of her kids are grown and require less of her attention, it seems as though Christine has committed to a new diet and healthy lifestyle.

It’s clear she’s been trying to live her best life, and especially after her explosive fight with Kody in the Season 10 finale over their daughter’s back surgery and Christine’s want to move back to Utah, fans are hopeful that this turn-of-events may lead to a separation between the two.

Christine has been using her Instagram platform to promote the clothing she sells with Lularoe, but fans are focused less on the clothes and more on how amazing she looks.

On May 5th, she posted a picture saying that she was getting her second Covid vaccine while wearing a Lularoe outfit, writing:

Celebrating CINCO DE MAYO with tacos and guacamole is my FAVORITE! I got my Covid vaccine today and if i’m feeling too sick to eat tacos, I’m going to loose (sic) it like a piñata loses it’s candy!

Then on June 28th, 2021, she shared a photo from her “new backdrop”:

I’m not usually an animal print person, but this @lularoe Ariel. I’m obsessed with! And, I found a new backdrop for photos.

Fans were super impressed with her transformation, asking her how she did it and giving her compliments on her new look and happiness.

Luckily for fans, Christine actually shared the secrets to her rapid weight loss in 2019.

On an Instagram Live, she told fans that she started eating based on her blood type, and that she had started working out. Christine said that there are a lot of health benefits that come with “eating for your blood type” and that it was the secret for her crazy weight loss.

Given her explosive fight on the Season 10 finale of Sister Wives and her crazy transformation, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that fans may get their wish and see Christine leave Kody and start a new life. What do you think’s going to happen? Will Christine leave Kody?
