As we enter a new era of American politics, celebs were eagerly watching at home with their children. See pics of Mindy Kaling and more who shared Kamala Harris’ swearing-in with their kids.

And politically active celebrities watching from home wanted to make sure that their young children were aware of how significant that is! Stars like Mindy Kaling and Brie Bella settled in with their adorable kids to watch the inauguration of Vice President Kamala Harris and President Joe Biden on January 20, and shared sweet photos on Instagram from the day they’ll surely remember for the rest of their lives.

Mindy Kaling’s Daughter, Kit, Watches Kamala Harris Get Sworn In

It’s no secret that Mindy is one of Vice President Harris’ biggest fans. The Mindy Project alum, 41, even campaigned for her during her 2019 presidential run, filming a video where they cooked traditional Indian foods together. When Kamala was elected on November 7, Mindy tweeted out a photo of the new VP as a child, writing, “Crying and holding my daughter, ‘look baby, she looks like us.’”

Her words made a lasting impression on her three-year-old, Kit Kaling. “I was at work, but apparently she said: ‘Is that mommy? It looks like mommy,’” Mindy wrote on Instagram, sharing a photo of Kit sitting on the couch while watching the inauguration. “Best compliment I ever got! It matters. Happy Inauguration everyone.”

Brie Bella Wakes Up Her Kids To Watch The Inauguration

The Total Bellas star, 38, shared the historic day with her adorable kids, three-year-old daughter Birdie Danielson, and five-month-old son Buddy Danielson. She shared a sleepy, makeup-free photo of herself and the kiddos still in their pajamas, waiting for the festivities to begin. Remember, it all started at 7:00am on the west coast! “We all woke up late but just in time for the inauguration,” Brie wrote on Instagram. “First time I get to sit with my kids and explain it all to them!!! Bird said she wants Gaga’s dresses!! Such a special day!!”

Andy Cohen Cheers On Biden & Harris With His Son

Benjamin Cohen may only be two years old, but his father is making sure he’s still politically aware. Andy Cohen posted a photo to Instagram showing little Ben totally engrossed in what was happening on the TV screen in their New York City apartment: newly sworn-in president Joe Biden‘s inaugural speech. The cutie is clutching his dad’s hand while taking in every single word, a Biden/Harris campaign sign in front of the television. The Watch What Happens Live host captioned the post, “The Future” with American flag emojis.

No Comments on KUWTK: Kim Kardashian’s friend Jonathan Cheban battles Covid-19

Jonathan Cheban has not been seen much this year.

That is because the TV star, who changed his name to FoodGod, has been recovering from COVID-19, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively.

And the New Jersey native was so sick he had to bow out of shooting scenes for the 20th and last season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians alongside his best friend, 40-year-old Kim Kardashian.

Out of commission: Jonathan Cheban has not been seen much this year. That is because the star, who changed his name to FoodGod, has been recovering from COVID-19, DailyMail.com has learned exclusively. Seen in October 2020 in Beverly Hills

A break: And the New Jersey native was so sick he had to bow out of shooting scenes for the 20th and last season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians alongside his best friend Kim Kardashian. Seen with Kim in 2019 in NYC

‘Jonathan has been sick with COVID-19, it was a mild case, but it still kept him in bed for weeks,’ a source tells DailyMail.com.

‘He caught the virus just before New Year’s Eve, it just came out of nowhere. He had to cancel a lot of plans. And he could not go out at all, even to get groceries.’

It was added that he was bedridden. ‘Jonathan said he was in pain, his chest hurt, he had a fever, he lost his taste buds which is a very big thing because he is obsessed with food, that is why his name is FoodGod,’ said the source.

It hit him: ‘Jonathan has been sick with COVID-19, it was a mild case, but it still kept him in bed for weeks,’ a source tells DailyMail.com. Seen in January 2020

She had it first: But his case was not as bad as his friend Khloe Kardashian’s, added the source. Khloe came down with COVID-19 in the spring of 2020. Her recovery was documented on KUWTK

‘He normally orders in really good food from Nobu, but he was on like rice, crackers and pasta, really bland stuff, for weeks.’

But his case was not as bad as his friend Khloe Kardashian’s, added the source. Khloe came down with COVID-19 in the spring of 2020. Her recovery was documented on KUWTK.

Jonathan’s mother Galina Cheban also came down with COVID which the source said ‘worried Jonathan a ton.’

She had it too: His mother Galina Cheban also came down with COVID which the source said ‘worried Jonathan a ton.’ Seen in Malibu in October 2020

But she too is on the mend, the insider said.

The fashion show staple did not post anything new on his Instagram page for over two weeks as he recovered.

But now the Celebrity Big Brother star is feeling ‘much better, like new.’

And Jonathan has been staying home under self quarantine to stop the spread.

‘It was very scary for him because he didn’t know how bad it could get. And plus he is normally so busy but these past few weeks he had to lay low,’ said the source.

He and Kim go way back: Jonathan got his start as a publicist which resulted in his reality TV show The Spin Crowd. After striking up a friendship with Kim over a decade ago, he started working with her on her public image. That parlayed into him getting a guest starring spot on KUWTK and several spinoffs

At work: Kim and Jonathan side-by-side in a car for a scene for KUWTK

‘He couldn’t shoot any scenes for KUWTK but he will be able to do that later. He will definitely be in the last season. He wants to be there for Kim.’

And his case of COVID will likely be addressed on the show as Khloe’s was.

Jonathan got his start as a publicist which resulted in his reality TV show The Spin Crowd.

Will he carry on? It is not known if he will pop up in the family’s new series for Hulu which launches this year. Seen with Kanye, Kim and Angie Martinez in 2010

After striking up a friendship with Kim over a decade ago, he started working with her on her public image as she was groomed from Paris Hilton’s assistant into a red carpet favorite.

That parlayed into him getting a guest starring spot on KUWTK and several spinoffs such as Kourtney & Kim Take New York and Kourtney & Kim Take Miami.

When Kim’s husband Kanye West dubbed him a ‘FoodGod’ because of his love for gourmet food, Jonathan branded himself with the name.

The Hofstra University graduate has gone on to become a spokesperson for several food chains including Burger IM and Jersey Mike Subs.

A FoodGod video game has also come out and he has appeared in the film By Any Means. Later this year he is starring in the film The Cuisine War.

It is not known if he will pop up in the Kardashian family’s new series for Hulu which launches later this year.

Kevin Kreider: 5 Things To Know About The Hunky Star Of Netflix’s ‘Bling Empire’

No Comments on Kevin Kreider: 5 Things To Know About The Hunky Star Of Netflix’s ‘Bling Empire’

‘Bling Empire’ is the new Netflix series that everyone is talking about. One of the show’s notable stars is Kevin Kreider. Hollywood has 5 key facts to know about this swoonworthy star.

Bling Empire features an amazing ensemble cast, and a lot of the buzz is about Kevin Kreider. Kevin is a newcomer to Los Angeles and finds himself a group of very wealthy Asian and Asian American friends, including heiress Anna Shay. Kevin is incredibly charming and likable, which is why we’re all so drawn to him right away.

So, who is Kevin from Bling Empire? He’s already a star on the rise, but the Netflix series is definitely going to take his star status to a whole new level. Kevin has also been open about aspects of his past, including his adoption. Here’s what you need to know about Kevin.

1. Kevin is a model and actor.

Kevin has been modeled for publications like Men’s Health and Men’s Fitness magazines, according to his official website. He’s also modeled for Peloton, Gillette, and more. Kevin was the first Asian-American to greet customers shirtless at the Abercrombie and Fitch on Fifth Avenue in New York City. He has since transitioned into fitness as well as TV and film. In addition to Bling Empire, Kevin has appeared in multiple shorts and the TV series Dating After College. Kevin was also the subject of the documentary, The Ugly Model.

2. Kevin was adopted.

Kevin reveals in the opening moments of Bling Empire that he was born in Korea and adopted into a White family when he was 3 years old. When his mom visits in episode 4, Kevin opens up about wanting to find out the identity of his birth parents. His mom is supportive and admits she’s always been “curious” about them.

3. Kevin was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.

In 2014, Kevin found out he had Alopecia areata. The disease causes “hair loss on the scalp, face and sometimes on other areas of the body,” according to the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. In just two weeks, Kevin had lost the “majority of his hair,” he wrote on his website. He said “the stress and non-stop nature of his career” ended up taking a toll on his body.

4. Kevin is single at the moment.

When Bling Empire begins, Kevin is one of the show’s most eligible bachelors. Kevin and Kelly Mi Li go on a date as she deals with her on-again, off-again love, Andrew Gray. Nothing ever comes of Kelly and Kevin’s date, and she ends up going back to Andrew at the end of the season. Even though a romance didn’t work out, Kevin and Kelly are still friends. “We still text, and she’s very responsive if I need to call her or talk to her about stuff,” he told Bustle.

Kevin also had a clear connection with Kim Lee towards the end of the season. Kevin admitted to EW that he “hated” Kim in the beginning and only “tolerated her because she was Kane’s friend.” His feelings over time changed, and he said that they’re “still trying” to figure out their “weird dynamic.” However, he’s well aware that there’s a “physical attraction” between them.

5. Kevin’s TED Talk went viral in 2018.

Kevin’s TED Talk was called “Redefining Asian Masculinity.” He opened up about being bullied for his skinny figure and Asian heritage when he was younger. “I imagine a world where Asian men can give wholeheartedly, be vulnerable, share, love, receive love, be limitless in what they do to their communities and for their communities not because of a stereotype,” he said. “And I also imagine a world where Asian men can be cool, be seen as cool, sexy, fun, just like any other race.”

‘9-1-1: Lone Star’s Ronen Rubinstein Teases A ‘Major Challenge’ For T.K. & Carlos: ‘We Lose Somebody’

Post author By The State
Post date January 18, 2021
No Comments on ‘9-1-1: Lone Star’s Ronen Rubinstein Teases A ‘Major Challenge’ For T.K. & Carlos: ‘We Lose Somebody’

‘9-1-1: Lone Star’ season 2 kicks off Jan. 18. HL spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Ronen Rubinstein about all things Tarlos, T.K.’s mom, and the ‘9-1-1’ crossover.

The one-two punch of 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star makes for must-see Monday night TV. Season 2 of 9-1-1: Lone Star premieres Jan. 18, and HollywoodLife got the EXCLUSIVE scoop from Ronen Rubinstein about what’s ahead for T.K. Get ready for lots of T.K. and Carlos relationship goodness in season 2.

Ronen revealed that T.K. and Carlos will be taking a big step in their relationship when T.K. meets Carlos’s parents in season 2. He also teased the upcoming volcano that T.K., Owen, and the rest of the crew will have to battle, as well as T.K.’s relationship with this mother. The highly-anticipated 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover is coming up, and Ronen revealed there are “interesting dynamics” between Buck and T.K. Read our full interview below:

T.K. and the rest of the crew in a season 2 scene. (FOX)

How is T.K. doing in season 2 when the show picks up? Where is he at mentally after getting shot at the end of last season and figuring out what he wants to do with his life?
Ronen Rubinstein: I think relatively T.K.’s doing pretty great. It’s funny, literally minutes before this phone call, they just dropped a huge Tarlos promo on Instagram. So that should give you a pretty good idea of how T.K. is doing. But I think he’s pretty happy. He’s definitely happy with Carlos. He is definitely relieved that his dad’s treatments are getting better. I think the big thing in episode 10 was him realizing that this is his calling and that he truly wants to be here and to be a first responder and to be with his crew. So I think he’s really comfortable in his own skin for the first time in a very long time.

We have to talk about Tarlos. We saw their relationship blossom over the course of that first season. What can you tease about their journey this season and their next steps?
Ronen Rubinstein: They’re officially 100 percent a couple. They are very much there for each other. They are going to go through a lot together, both on the job and off the job. I meet Carlos’s parents, which is amazing. I know that was a big thing that everyone was hoping for and what we were hoping for. Personally, as a fan of the show, I really want to know more about Carlos and his backstory. So I’m really glad that we’re bringing the parents in. He meets my mom and, obviously, Owen is very familiar with Carlos and likes him very much. I think we’re past the honeymoon phase of a relationship, and we’re very much in the swing of things. They’re just a really sweet, caring couple, at least in the beginning of the show. I don’t know very much going past that.

So no major challenges right away for them at least?
Ronen Rubinstein: Well, I think a major challenge for them and for everybody is going to be we lose somebody early on the season. I can’t obviously say who, but I think that’s going to be a challenge for everybody. I think that sort of sticks out to me the most.

You brought up T.K.’s mom, who is played by the amazing Lisa Edelstein. What is T.K.’s relationship like with his mother?
Ronen Rubinstein: It’s amazing. There’s definitely a distinct relationship between her and how T.K. is with Owen. They’re both very comfortable, very loving. I was always wondering last season if there was going to be a really distinct difference between them. But it seems to be that his mom is just as supportive and just as loving as Owen. It seems to be that the divorce didn’t really affect them in a negative way. I think that’s why that storyline of T.K.’s mom and dad getting sort of back together is going to work because there was never any bad blood.

So T.K. would be all on board for them to get back together?
Ronen Rubinstein: We’ll see. That’s actually something that we’re definitely going to explore. It’s a little weird because they haven’t been together in a very long time, and T.K. is very much an adult now. But I think at the end of the day, he just wants them to be happy. If they can make it work, I think he supports whatever decision they make.

We see in the promos that there’s going to be a volcano in Austin. What else can you tease about the cases and life-altering events the crew will face in season 2?
Ronen Rubinstein: This show is so big and exciting. They really did not hold back this season. I’m so relieved that with COVID and everything affecting productions that they did not hold back. We literally see the volcano I think at the end of the first episode, so everything starts very fast. We lose a member very, very quickly, as well. The fans are definitely not going to be disappointed. If anything, they are continuing the momentum that we had last season. It seems like we’re only getting bigger. The rescues are only getting bigger and more complex.

Lisa Edelstein joins the show of TK’s mother. (FOX)

There is a 9-1-1 and 9-1-1: Lone Star crossover coming up. Who is T.K. going to get along with when it comes to the LA squad?
Ronen Rubinstein: The crossover will be episode 3. It’s going to premiere on February 1. With the release of a very specific photo, I think people could sort of insinuate that T.K. and Buck are going to have a storyline. It’s going to be one hell of a storyline. I’m very, very, very glad they put T.K. and Buck together. There are very interesting dynamics to explore, and I think people will be very, very excited about that.

Gina Torres has joined the show in season 2. How is her character going to shake things up?
Ronen Rubinstein: She adds such an epic dynamic to the show. We’re going to see that Tommy is very much a badass. She’s probably the best at what she does. She’s going to be an incredible addition to the team, and she’ll also have a very exciting storyline of her own. We’re going to explore her trouble with her family and dealing with COVID and having to go back into the workforce. I think she was retired before we see her. There’s so much interesting stuff to explore with Gina and, again, as an actress, it’s just another incredible veteran on set. It makes work so much more fun and so much more exhilarating and productive.

How does Lone Star deal with COVID?
Ronen Rubinstein: We’re very much in it. I think the writers were trying to be a little hopeful. You’ll notice in some scenes for indoors some people will have masks and some people won’t. I think the writers are sort of insinuating that it’s a little better than what it is right now. We didn’t want to completely abandon it because I just don’t think it would be the right thing to do, especially because it’s something that everybody’s dealing with, especially first responders. So I think it was the respectful thing to do. But I do think they were being a little bit optimistic as to the situation, at least in Austin. I hope we can get to that point soon. But we’re definitely in it, that’s for sure.

No Comments on Sarah Trott: 5 Things To Know About The Woman Who Nearly Fainted On ‘The Bachelor’

One contestant on season 25 of ‘The Bachelor,’ Sarah Trott, nearly fainted during the second rose ceremony, and her fate will be revealed during the show’s Jan. 18 episode

The Jan. 11 episode of The Bachelor ended in the middle of Matt James‘ second rose ceremony. He was about halfway through giving out his roses when one woman, Sarah Trott, abruptly left the rose ceremony because she felt like she was going to faint. The episode ended as a ‘To Be Continued,’ with the medical team rushing to Sarah’s aide and Matt checking in and trying to calm her down.

Sarah first made headlines during The Bachelor premiere, when viewers pointed out that she looked just like Annie Murphy, who plays Alexis Rose on Schitt’s Creek. Matt fell for Sarah during their first meeting, which led to him giving her one of the first one-on-one dates of the season. Things went well between the two, as Sarah got vulnerable and opened up about her dad’s battle with ALS. Even though she got a rose on the date, she started to become overwhelmed by the process at the second rose ceremony. As we wait to see Sarah’s fate, here’s more to know about her:

1. She previously worked in TV news. Sarah studied Broadcast Journalism at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and graduated in 2018. Throughout college, she worked as a reporter for KOMU-TV in Columbia, Missouri. After graduation, she became the Weekend Morning Anchor at CBS Local 2 news in Palm Springs, California. However, Sarah quit her job in television news in June 2019 to care for her father, who was suffering from ALS.

2. She is a podcast host. After leaving her professional dreams behind her, Sarah decided to put her Broadcast degree to work by starting her own podcast called From Here To Where. The goal of the podcast is to “empower and unite women” who are dealing with the usual struggles of their 20s — dating, friendships, new jobs, etc. “My goal is to change the narrative for perfection and bring strong girls together through the tough s*** we go through in this defining decade,” her website explains.

3. She’s passionate about fitness and health. Sarah’s ABC bio reveals that finding a partner who also prioritizes “fitness and a healthy lifestyle” is very important to her. Some of Sarah’s favorite activities include hiking, biking and tennis.

4. She’s committed to her faith. It’s also important for Sarah to find someone committed to faith like she is, according to her ABC bio. Sarah also loves giving back. She wants to do work for her community and give back to kids in need with her husband one day.

5. She loves photography. Sarah dabbles in photography as a hobby. She’s also a trained fire dancer.

No Comments on Justin Timberlake Finally Reveals 2nd Son’s Name 6 Mos. After Jessica Biel Secretly Gave Birth

Justin Timberlake gushed about his second child with Jessica Biel for the first time in a new interview and revealed his baby’s name to the world. He also admitted Silas has been ‘super excited’ about being a big brother!

Justin Timberlake, 39, is finally opening up about the new addition to his family with Jessica Biel, 38. Justin revealed to Ellen DeGeneres, 62, during the July 18 edition of her show the unique name he and Jessica settled on for their second child. “His name is Phineas,” Justin told Ellen. “He’s awesome, and he’s so cute. And nobody’s sleeping. But we’re thrilled. We’re thrilled, couldn’t be happier, very grateful.”

The singer’s interview comes 6 months after HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY confirmed Justin and Jessica’s baby news after a report circulated that she had given birth. In July 2020, HollywoodLife spoke EXCLUSIVELY with Justin’s longtime friend, singer Brian McKnight, 51, and he revealed the couple had welcomed a “new baby.” Justin and Jessica kept their second pregnancy a secret, but HollywoodLife was also able to learn EXCLUSIVELY from a source close to the couple that they welcomed their baby boy in summer 2020.

During his interview with Ellen, Justin admitted that having a second kid is a “lot of fun” but a lot of work. “I guess the saying goes [you] go from a zone defense to a man to man really quickly. It’s great. Silas is super excited,” Justin said. Silas is Justin and Jessica’s first child, who was born in 2015.

As of right now, Justin said that Silas is “very much liking” being a brother to Phineas. “Phin can’t walk yet or chase him down, so I don’t know, we’ll see what happens,” Justin said. Justin also noted that Silas is musical like his dad, but the little one has a variety of interests, including Legos and tennis. Justin and Jessica also got Silas a Nintendo Switch. “It’s like child crack,” Justin joked.

After staying out of the public eye for most of 2020, Justin has a very busy 2021. He will perform his new song “Better Days” during an inauguration special hosted by Tom Hanks on Jan. 20. Demi Lovato, 28, and Jon Bon Jovi, 58, are also set to perform.

Justin’s new movie, Palmer, will be released Jan. 29, 2021, on Apple TV+. The role is a dramatic turn for Justin after his voice role in the kid-friendly Trolls movies. However, the film was immersed in drama during production. Justin was spotted holding hands with co-star Alisha Wainwright, 31, while filming in New Orleans in Nov. 2019. Justin later addressed the situation via Instagram. He apologized to Jessica and admitted he had a “strong lapse of judgment” after he “drank way too much.” He added, “I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son.” Since the scandal, Justin and Jessica have been a united front and are turning the page on this chapter of their lives.

No Comments on Betty White turns 99 as celebrities pay tribute to the legendary actress on social media

Betty White celebrated another milestone on Sunday as she turned 99 years old.

‘Since I am turning 99, I can stay up as late as I want without asking permission,’ the birthday girl told The Associated Press of the big day.

The beloved superstar was feted on social media, where celebrities were quick to wish her a happy birthday with a string of gushing tributes.

The legendary actress has been a staple of the entertainment industry for a awe-inspiring 82 years, beginning in 1939, and some fans celebrated her early work.

Beloved: Betty White turned 99 on Sunday, and celebrities rushed to share their birthday wishes for the legendary actress and comedian; seen celebrating her 93rd birthday on the set of Hot In Cleveland in 2015

Michael McKean, of Laverne & Shirley and This Is Spinal Tap fame, wasn’t alive when Betty was getting her start in the early days of television, but he was still a fan of some of her lesser-known 1950s work.

‘I’m so old that I’ve loved Betty White since Life With Elizabeth,’ he tweeted, adding the hashtag, ‘#HappyBirthdayBettyWhite.’

Life With Elizabeth has the distinction of being Betty’s first television sitcom.

The two-season series ran from 1953–1955 and was comprised of short comic segments, rather than episode-length stories.

Old school: Michael McKean, of Laverne & Shirley and This Is Spinal Tap fame, wasn’t alive when Betty was getting her start in the early days of television, but he was still a fan of some of her lesser-known 1950s work; seen in 1957

Milestone: He celebrated her show Life With Elizabeth, which has the distinction of being Betty’s first television sitcom

George Takei posted a compilation of some of Betty’s funniest moments, though he accidentally wrote she was only 98.

Actress and comedian Jackée Harry shared a throwback photo featuring herself and other leading ladies of classic sitcoms, including Betty.

Other members of the Golden Girls cast were assembled, including Bea Arthur and Rue McClanahan, while Jackée posed with her 227 costar Marla Gibbs and Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams from Laverne & Shirley posed in the middle.

‘Celebrating Betty White’s 99th birthday with this throwback.. #IconsOnly!!,’ Jackée wrote.

‘Happy 99th Birthday to the fabulous @BettyMWhite – a proper star, on & off screen.’

Mulan (1998) and Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. star Ming-Na Wen shared a raunchy statement from the comedy legend, which might have fit with her penchant for doing blue material, though it wasn’t actually a joke she ever said.

‘She is my spirit animal,’ Wen wrote. ‘Happy 99th birthday, QUEEN!!’

Valerie Bertinelli, who starred with Betty on Hot In Cleveland, shared some hilarious outtakes from the series.

Inspired: The quote Ming-Na Wen shared doesn’t actually belong to Betty, but she still called the comedian her ‘spirit animal’

Sabrina The Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart shared a humorous line from Betty: ‘The older you get the better you get. Unless you’re a banana.’

‘Happy 99th Birthday to the legend @bettymwhite! The greatest thing since before sliced bread!’ she wrote.

Louis Virtel, a comedian, podcaster and Jimmy Kimmel Live! writer, compared Betty to other entertainment greats.

‘What do Judy Garland, Veronica Lake, and Jack Kerouac have in common? All born in 1922 just like Betty White, who turns 99 today. Happy 99th, Betty White.’

Words of wisdom: Sabrina The Teenage Witch star Melissa Joan Hart shared a humorous line from Betty: ‘The older you get the better you get. Unless you’re a banana.’

In good company: Louis Virtel pointed out how many legends were also born in 1922

Betty has had to remain isolated throughout the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, as her advanced age puts her at greater risk should she contract the virus, but that didn’t stop her friends and admirers from wishing her a happy birthday with flowers.

Multiple bouquets and packages were seen being dropped off at the entertainer’s home on Sunday, and her agent accepted many of the gifts outside her home’s gate.

The Golden Girls star’s agent Jeff Witjas was spotted arriving with multiple bouquets, a package and a McDonald’s bag for his client.

Not taking chances: Betty’s at increased risk should she contract the novel coronavirus, so she’s had to stay isolated since the start of the pandemic

Betty was born in 1922 in Oak Park, Illinois, and then moved to Southern California with her family the following year.

She began working in television starting in 1939, when the medium was brand new and had a limited reach, and also appeared on multiple radio shows throughout the 1940s.

In the 1950s she began her stint on television sitcoms, and also hosted the variety/talk show The Betty White Show starting in 1954.

No Comments on Jennifer Lopez Claps Back At Troll Who Insists She’s Had Botox: My ‘Beauty Secret’ Is Loving My Own Skin

Jennifer Lopez shared a video in which she washed her face with a face mask from her JLo Beauty collection and responded to a follower claiming she had ‘tons’ of ‘Botox’.

Jennifer Lopez, 51, is standing up for herself and kindness in her latest social media response. The singer clapped back at a follower who claimed she had “tons of Botox” in a comment on a video she posted that promoted one of her JLo Beauty face products. In the clip, the young-looking beauty showed off a clean make-up free face that just had one of her cleansing “limitless face masks” on it.

“It’s the first time I’m releasing this full video of when I first tried out limitless mask!!! Spoiler alert … we decidied [sic] not to charge $10,000 for them. 😂 @JLoBeauty now available on @amazon! #JLOBEAUTY ✨,” her caption for the post read.

One she posted it, it didn’t take long for the troll to respond, which prompted her own response. “But can I just mention that brows and forehead doesn’t move at all when you talk or try to express… you definitely have Botox. And tons of it. And it’s all good. Just saying,” the follower’s comment read.

“LOL that’s just my face!!!” Jennifer responded. “For the 500 millionth time… I have never done Botox or any other injectables or surgery!! Just sayin’. Get you some JLO BEAUTY and feel beautiful in your skin!!”

She added, “And here is another JLO Beauty secret: try spending your time being more positive, kind and uplifting of others…don’t spend your time trying to bring others down…that will keep you youthful and beautiful too!!!”

Other followers also came to Jen’s defense and complimented her natural beauty. “people can’t believe that you can have a healthy life style and take care of yourself and look great.😂Its possible,” one fan wrote. “no she doesn’t. Jlo has always looked the same. She is 💯 percent natural,” another wrote.

Jennifer’s latest clap back comes after she opened up about how a previous boyfriend advised her to get Botox while they were at a doctor’s appointment in her 20s, in a Dec. 2020 interview for Elle magazine. “I haven’t ever had Botox to this day,” she told the outlet. “And [the doctor] said, ‘Did you know you have a little line right here? We should start Botox.’ I mean, I had to be 23 years old, right? And I was like, ‘I’m going to pass.’ I didn’t like needles anyway, but the boyfriend’s like, ‘Yeah, you should start it. I do that.’ I was like, no, thank you.”

“I just wonder what would’ve happened to me if I would’ve started Botox at 23, what I would look like right now. My face would be a totally different face today,” she concluded.

No Comments on ‘That’s So Raven’ Cast Then & Now: See Raven-Symoné & More After 18 Years

‘That’s So Raven’ is one of Disney Channel’s classic sitcoms. The series premiered in 2003 and still has a place very near and dear to our hearts. See how the cast has changed after 18 years.

That’s So Raven was part of the Disney Channel renaissance when it premiered on Jan. 17, 2003. The series followed a teenage girl named Raven Baxter who receives psychic visions into the future. The show ran for 4 seasons and chronicled the shenanigans and teachable moments Raven experienced due to her visions.

Raven-Symoné was already a star when she began playing Raven Baxter, having starred in The Cosby Show when she was just a kid. That’s So Raven may have ended in 2007, but Raven returned to the world of Raven Baxter in the spinoff Raven’s Home. In honor of the show’s 18th anniversary, take a look at the cast then and now.

No Comments on Heiress Harris, 4, Reveals She’s Already Planning To Teach Her Baby Niece ‘How To Make Cookies’ – Watch

T.I. and Tiny’s little girl is so grown up! The 4-year-old talked away as she showed off her baking skills in a sweet video with grandma.

Heiress Harris, 4, is loving being an aunt! The daughter of T.I., 40, and Tameka “Tiny” Harris, 45, shared a sweet tidbit about big sister Zonnique Pullins‘s new baby while baking with grandma Dianne Cottle (Tiny’s mom). “One time my niece was at the new house…and the other night my mom said that we should teach my niece how to make good cookies. Good Christmas cookies,” the 4-year-old said. Grandma reminded Heiress that Zonnique’s baby will “only be 1” next year but that she could still “show” her niece how to make them.

Heiress was absolutely adorable in a new baking tutorial which was shared to her official Instagram on Friday, Jan. 15. “Baking Cupcakes With Mamaw!” the caption to the six minute clip, which had Heiress showing off her impressive kitchen kills for the world! She looked like such a pro as she whipped up Pillsbury’s kid-friendly Funfetti mix, cracking eggs, mixing and even reading directions all on her own. At one point, she even critiqued her own egg cracking skills. “That was a very nice yolk! The first one wasn’t! I got some on my face…the other two wasn’t good,” she hilariously said.

“Mix it like you fix it!” she said to herself as she whipped up the sugary mix and prepared to scoop it into a pan with grandma’s help. While mixing away, she some of the tasty batter on her purple Mickey and Minnie Mouse t-shirt and face, prompting another adorable moment. “I have a cupcake mustache!” she exclaimed, noting she didn’t want to get any of the sticky mix on her bed sheets. Towards the end of the video, she even iced her own cupcakes — confessing that vanilla frosting is her “favorite” because it’s just like butter. Yum!

Despite months in quarantine, 2020 ended on a happy note for T.I. and Tiny’s family as Zonnique, 24, welcomed her first child with boyfriend Bandhunta Izzy, also 24. Just a week after the baby girl entered the world, proud grandparents T.I. and Tiny shared an update on FOX Soul’s The Mix. “Zonnique’s doing great. She’s getting her rest in, as much as she can,” Tiny shared. “The baby’s sleeping all the time so she’s been able to rest a lot,” she noted, adding she may be called “Zaza” by her first grandchild.

Zonnique later talked about her experience giving birth, confessing that it was not what she was “expecting.” “Um, the experience is…it is really nasty! We will start there. I didn’t want to sh*t the whole time. I was like, ‘Don’t sh*t, don’t sh*t!’ Cause I don’t even fart in front of my boyfriend in real life. Stuff like that is really nasty to me,” reality star candidly added on Jan. 6 in another episode of FOX Soul’s The Mix.
