Omarosa: ALL the People She Torches in Her Book
As you have likely read all about by now, Omarosa Manigault Newman has a new book out.
It"s titled "Unhinged: An Insider"s Account of the Trump White House" and it lays heavily into President Donald Trump.
It says the commander-in-chief is in "mental decline" and almost definitely has said the N-Word at some point in the past and also wants to have sex with his own daughter.
But while Omarosa has plenty to say about President Trump in her book, she also has plenty to say about other people you have likely heard of.
Such as whom? And what did she write about them?
Scroll down to find out!
1. Wait, Who Was Omarosa Again?
Aside from a disgraced contestant on The Apprentice? She was hired as the director of communications for the Office of Public Liaison and then fired in January of 2018.
2. Is There a Tape of Her Firing, Perhaps Recorded Secretly in The Situation Room by Omarosa?
Yes! Listen to it above!
3. And Now She’s Written a Book About Her Experience in the White House?
Yes, exactly. Shocking, right? That Omarosa would look to make money off her supposed commitment to (barf!) make America great again? We’re not defending her as a person in all of this. We’re just passing along the things she has said. You can judge for yourself.
4. Like This Section About Trump and Daughter, Ivanka:
“As long as I’d known Trump, I’d observed the way he hugs, touches, and kisses Ivanka; the way she calls him Daddy. In my opinion, based on my observations, their relationship goes right up to the line of appropriate father/daughter behavior and jumps right over it. I believe he covets his daughter. It’s uncomfortable to watch them.”
5. And Then This About Ivanka:
In regard to a Saturday Night Live skit about her fake perfume, “Complicit,” Omarosa wrote: “At the senior staff meeting, Ivanka couldn’t stop bemoaning it, how offensive it was, how ridiculous it was. We’d all been subject to SNL attacks … We’d all been hit, many of us in that same week’s show. But Ivanka would not stop talking about being ribbed. Like her father, Ivanka was thin-skinned and could not seem to take a joke.”
6. Okay, One More Thing About Ivanka:
“Ivanka, by the way, has the worst potty mouth, which is such a contrast to her completely poised, sophisticated presentation.”

Kailyn Lowry: My New Tell-All Book Is Printing NOW!
We’ve seen Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry use Twitter to destroy body-shamers, but she also uses social media to chat with followers … and to share great news.
Kail’s been working on her book, A Letter of Love, which promises to tell a whole side story about her life that MTV’s cameras have never captured.
That book is now printing!
Taking to Twitter, Kailyn tweeted: “Beyond excited!”
No, this isn’t excitement about her fight with Briana DeJesus. This is something very positive.
“My publisher @iamardreorie just delivered the news,” Kail gushes.
Kailyn then reveals “that copies of my new book ‘A Letter of Love’ are printing!”
That is so exciting!
“And,” Kailyn continues. “The support from you guys has been overwhelming!”
Kail is a sweetheart and she always gives a shout-out to her fans.
“I’m finally telling my side of the story,” she writes.
Remember, everything that we’ve seen on Teen Mom 2 has been told through the lens (literally!) of MTV. Their job is to make entertainment, not tell Kail’s story.
That’s okay, but it means that a lot of fans don’t have the real picture.
Kailyn tweets that she can share her narrative “my way.” At last.
Back in January, Kailyn explained the origins of her new tell-all book.
“The book was an apology letter to Lux,” Kail revealed.
Sometimes, the idea for a book grows out of a single thought or piece of writing — even a tweet.
Kailyn shared that hse was apologizing “for basically the mess he was born into.”
That sounds so healthy. More parents should take the time to consider the world into which they’re bringing children.
A lot of kids are owed apologies.
“And,” Kailyn continued, she also wanted to express to Lux “how bad I feel.”
Naturally, it grew into something a little more — and Kailyn’s book is about her sons Lincoln and Isaac, too.
Kailyn explained: “But now it’s to all three of them.”
“I feel bad and I’m nervous about how a lot of my decisions will impact them or affect them,” Kailyn explained.
“So I’m apologizing to all of them,” Kail said. “And I want them to know how much I love them and I’m working now to pick up the pieces.”
We think that they know better than anyone how much she loves them and how she does her best for them every day.
A Letter of Love is currently available for preorder from 13 & Joan Publishing.
Kail is no newcomer to the publishing scene, of course. She’s already an author.
Fans are of course familiar with Hustle and Heart and with Pride Over Pity.
I’d say that I’m crushed that she’s deviating from alliteration for this new book, but she did that before with Love is Bubblegum.
(Kail is so busy!)
Unfortunately, we all remember when Chris Lopez burned a copy of Kailyn’s last book. It was not one of his finer moments.
Hopefully, this new book can avoid meeting a similar fate. After all, it is about and written to Chris’ son.

Younes Bendjima: I"m Writing a Tell-All Book About Kourtney Kardashian!!
Despite their super sexy vacation just weeks ago, Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima have split. By all accounts, it is not an amicable breakup.
Younes is begging Kourt to take him back and saying that he never cheated, but it sounds like he’s also gotten confrontational about it.
In fact, he has reportedly threatened to write a tell-all book about Kourtney and her entire family. Yikes!
RadarOnline reports that Younes Bendjima’s tell-all book threat came to Kourtney through an intermediary.
“Younes had one of his friends reach out to Kourtney,” an insider close to Kourtney reveals.
This was not an olive branch.
The friend made contact, the source says, “to tell her that if her sisters don’t stop talking s–t about him that he would write a tell all book.”
Younes apparently knows enough about the family that he could embarrass them “and air all of their dirty laundry.”
“After two years together,” the insider says. “Kourtney knows that Younes knows” a great deal of insider information “about the family.”
He and Kourt have been together since 2016, and now we’re just a few months away from 2019.
Younes started off as a boy toy, but he’s no fool. He noticed things.
In fact, the source says that Younes knows more “than anyone else that has come in and out of their circle in quite some time.”
Kourtney, the insider says, is freaking out because “she does not want this to escalate anymore.”
In a war of words, it looks like both sides could lose — but Kourtney and her loved ones might have more to lose.
“So,” the source revealed of Kourtney. “She asked her family to refrain from saying anything about him.”
Nobody closes ranks like the Kardashians in a krisis, folks.
That means that Kourtney’s sisters — despite Kim and Kourtney’s vicious feud — are eager to lay into Younes.
But that also means that they’ll mince words and bite their tongues about Younes if that’s what needs to happen.
Just think of how careful they were with their words when Khloe’s baby daddy was outed as a no-good cheater. They can do that with Younes, too.
Kourtney is just tired of the whole Younes situation, even though she might miss having hot cougar sex with the 25-year-old model.
“At this point,” the insider explains. “She just wants him to go away.”
That is understandable. The breakup is fresh and likely full of a lot of very complicated feelings.
Kourtney wants Younes out of sight and out of mind, the source says, “so she can move on with her life.”
That is very understandable.
It is, of course, very important to note that Jordan Ozuna, the lovely socialite with whom Younes was spotted, has spoken out.
She wants to make it very clear that nothing romantic happened between her and Younes.
The thing is that some suspect that Kourtney was, perhaps subconsciously, in the market for an excuse to break things off with Younes.
The two of them have an age gap of almost 15 years and are at very different stages of their lives.
We’re glad that their relationship was fun while it lasted and we’re sorry to see it end.
We hope, of course, that everyone can come out of this sitation as a winner.

Jeremy and Audrey Roloff Book Cover: First Inspiring Look!
As previously noted and lamented, Audrey Roloff and Jeremy Roloff are leaving Little People, Big World.
The couple made this announcement about a month ago.
In doing so, however, they also said the following…
“We’re not disappearing. We have a lot of exciting stuff in the works and are eager to continue the work that the Lord has called us to.”
Along these lines, Audrey and Jeremy have gone into more detail about their most immediate upcoming project: a memoir titled A Love Letter Life: Pursue Creatively, Date Intentionally, Love Faithfully.
The couple confirmed this book was in the works several months ago, explaining at the time that the tome would be based on their experience as a faith-based couple.
The book is essentially our love story. We are spilling never before told tales from our dating journey, and all the ups and downs and ins and outs of our love story.
The pages are filling up with our failures and successes, what we learned from dating and long distance, and how we prepared more for our marriage than our wedding
We cant wait to share what we’ve learned from our own dating journey in order to equip our readers to build Godly relationships from their first date to “I do” and beyond.
Fast forward to now and the Roloffs have given an interview to People Magazine in which they share more details about this unique idea.
“We believe everyone has a unique love story and we want people to be super stoked to press into their own love story,” Jeremy tells this publication, adding:
“We want readers to prepare more for their marriage than their wedding [day].
“I think social media can paint facades, so [Audrey and I] hope that people will walk away [from the book] knowing that we aren’t perfect, our [dating] relationship wasn’t perfect.
“We learned from our struggles and we came out stronger on the other side.”
The book comes out in April of 2019…
… and this is your first look at the cover!
Audrey and Jeremy have been married for four years and welcomed a daughter named Ember in September.
They say this memoir will reveal the “raw, never-before shared tales from their own dating journey,” with Jeremy teasing the content as follows:
“[Maintaining a long-distance relationship] was really difficult for us. We did it for three years, and in the book we explain how it started, how we survived it.
“And Audrey almost ended our love story.
“We tell that story and I got emotional when I reread it… There are [also] two other really difficult moments outside of [long] distance that were big challenges and learning curves.”
How intriguing, right?
Jeremy often penned Audrey letters during this time apart, which is where the stars got the title of the book from.
To this day, Audrey and Jeremy try to keep their relationship original, creative, fresh and exciting.
“I think one of the things is realizing that pursuing and dating don’t have to stop when you get married,” says Audrey when explaining how they make their marriage work:
“The subtitle of our book is ‘pursue creatively, date intentionally, love faithfully,’ and we think all of those three things can be true before you’re married and after you’ve been married for 20 years.
“For us, it’s really important to continue pursuing each other in marriage, to continue to look for ways that we can love each other when it’s not convenient, and even when it’s hurtful.”

And then let us know: Will you be picking up a copy?

Jeremy Roloff and Audrey Roloff Book Title, Excerpts: Leaked Online!
We have an update on the book Jeremy Roloff and Audrey Roloff teased to their social media followers in March.
And it’s a rather HUGE update.
Earlier this year, the Little People, Big World stars excitedly told fans about this very cool project, explaining that they “have received thousands of comments, messages, and e-mails containing questions about dating, long distance, purity, conflict, love, and how we prepared for marriage.”
So they decided to do something helpful with all of these notes.
They decided to write a book!
“The book is essentially our love story,” Audrey explained at the time, adding:
“We are spilling never before told tales from our dating journey, and all the ups and downs and ins and outs of our love story…
“We cant wait to share what we’ve learned from our own dating journey in order to equip our readers to build Godly relationships from their first date to “I do” and beyond.”
Aside from announcing a multi-week social media hiatus to complete this manuscript, neither Audrey nor Jeremy has said much about it…
… until now!
First, we can confirm that the memoir/self-help book will be titled “In A Love Letter Life” and it will be released in April of 2019.
Second, in her most recent Instagram Story, Audrey filmed a video of her computer screen, exposing some of the writing from this book and captioning the footage:
“Pushing hard to get this thing done on time.”
What did the footage reveal?
It appears as if one section will be advice from Audrey on how to land an awesome husband such as Jeremy.
“Jeremy and I are advocates for being friends first,” Roloff writes, explaining:
“Friendship lays the groundwork for pursuit. All the single ladies, volume up. You’re not giving a man the chance to pursue you if you’re the one doing the chasing, chances are the guy you’re after does not want to be caught.”
Audrey has often felt comfortable giving marital advice, although she’s sometimes gotten criticized for trying to profit off of it.
Adds the TLC star in this portion:
“If you start by building a friendship, the kind of man you want to marry will be empowered to pursue you. He will be willing to risk rejection, determined to be thoughtful and he will text you first, at least the majority of the time.
“Our period of friendship gave Jeremy the opportunity to pursue me.”
There’s something a little antiquated and even sexist about this, as Audrey states that a woman should never be aggressive, that she should turn dating into some kind of game.
It’s 2018. Are we really arguing that men need to always text a woman first?
Roloff goes on to give a very specific account of her first date with Jeremy in the book.
Fans can expect it to follow the sort of Instagram posts she’s often published over the years, many of which adhere to her Christian beliefs and her strict views on dating/marriage.
For example, after Jacob Roloff got engaged late last year, Audrey seemed to actually shade her brother-in-law for moving too quickly with his girlfriend.
She appeared to essentially judge the couple for having premarial sex.
“Some words on dating from a Christian perspective,” she wrote at the time, standing on her pedestal and adding:
“Let’s just say you recently hurried into a relationship, dabbled with sexual intimacy, and then became emotionally attached.
“The main problem with this scenario is that it blinds you to red flags. It’s the classic ‘love at first sight’ trap. You begin to see the person you are dating as the ‘the most talented, most interesting, and most extraordinary person in the universe.
“As time passes, your friends and family may raise concerns about the person you’re dating, but you won’t be able to rationalize with them because all you will see is perfection.
“This is a titanic problem.”
In other words:
Once you have sex with someone, you’ll never be able to see his or her flaws because your mind will be consumed with lust. You’ll just be thinking about the awesome intercourse and you’ll be unable to think rationally.
That’s an interesting take, we guess.
Do you agree with it?
And will you buy Audrey and Jeremy’s book?

Roloffs Enter the Guinness Book of World Records, Can Now Trash Talk the Kardashians
Take this, Kardashians.
Go ahead and suck on it, Duggars.
Not even close, Wilkinson-Basketts!
The Roloffs now have bragging rights that no other group of relatives on reality television can match.
We mean this both literally and officially.
On Monday, Matt Roloff surprised Instagram followers by sharing two very sweet photos on his official social media account, both of which were accompanied by a caption that explained an impressive family achievement.
We’ll go ahead and let Matt explain on his loved ones’ behalf:
“The Roloff family’s very exciting news to share with you all… We have – along with all of YOU – made history,” he wrote to open this caption, adding in more detail:
“We’ve been awarded by the Guinness Book of World Records for the most family-focused reality television shows in the history of television!!
“We couldn’t have done it without all of you.
“If you have been a fan for a while, help us share the exciting news by sharing this photo on social media and mentioning how long you have been watching #LPBW.
“We appreciate you guys! @mattroloff @rolofffarms #littlepeoplebigworld #theroloffs #therolofffamily #worldrecord.”
Wow, huh?
We had no idea this even was a record one could achieve.
But Little People, Big World has been on the air since 2005.
As you can maybe see in the photo above, the series hit the 298-episode mark in January, which was apparently the figure needed to propel the Roloffs to the top.
For comparison’s sake:
Keeping Up with the Kardashians has aired 214 episodes, while 19 and Counting may have threatened this figure if TLC had not canceled the series in the wake of that Josh Duggar molestation scandal.
At the time of its axing, that family-based program had aired 227 installments.
This news comes at an interesting time for the show and for the family as a whole.
There’s been chatter among fans regarding the series’ future, based on Matt’s bombshell news that he’s moving to Arizona.
It’s unclear at the moment if this will have any impact on TLC renewing Little People, Big World for a new season.
The past few episodes of the show have also focused more than ever on tension between Matt and Amy, both of whom seem sick of working so closely together and definitely sick of living so close to each other.
This tension has been heightened of late because both Matt and Amy are involved in serious romantic relationships.
What might happen to the series if Matt marries Caryn Chandler and/or Amy marries Chris Marek?
Again, we don’t know.
But as you can see by the comparisons we made above, Little People, Big World is not in any danger of losing this record any time soon.
Its flown past the 300-episode milestone at this point and, even if it ends after this season, no other family-oriented reality show appears to be close.
So… congratulations to the Roloffs.
We’ve thoroughly enjoyed watching your adventures over the years and we hope there are many more to come in the years ahead.

Hillary Clinton Would"ve Been Drunkest President in Decades, New Book Claims
You know how sometimes you have a rough week at work, so on Firday, you decide to down a few adult beverages to take the sting out of yout latest misfortunes and failures?
Multiply that feeling by 40 bajillion and imagine that instead of accidentally hitting “reply all,” you missed out on the chance to make world history and have your face on money.
Now you have an idea of how Hillary Clinton feels.
To be fair, Clinton seems to have dealt with loss of the 2016 presidential election fairly well, all things considered.
But while she’s maintained a brave face publicly, we’re sure the defeat was traumatic, and many never fully recover from such a crushing blow.
Perhaps that’s why supporters, critics, and media figures just can’t help but let their imaginations run wild when it comes to the methods that Hillary might be using to cope with the devastation of losing the presidency to a guy who’s previous foray into politics consisted entirely of losing what was left of his mind over a freakin’ birth certificate.
Throughout the campaign, Team Trump made much of Clinton’s alleged health issues, with some far-right pundits even going so far as to suggest the 70-year-old grandmother is a raging alcoholic.
Now, a new book by New York Times reporter Amy Chozick reveals that that’s far from the case – but concedes that Clinton doesn’t enjoy her cocktails more than most contemporary political figures.
In an excerpt from Chasing Hillary published today by Radar Online, Chozick claims that if elected, Hillary would’ve been “the booziest president since FDR.”
“Beset by stereotypes that she is a hall-monitor type, buttoned up and bookish, churchgoing and dutiful, but not much fun at a keg party, in reality, Mrs. Clinton enjoys a cocktail – or three – more than most previous presidents,” Chozick writes.
Clinton has referenced her love of white wine when asked about her coping mechanisms, but the comments are usually of a joking nature.
“It wasn’t all yoga and breathing: I also drank my share of chardonnay,” she wrote in her 2017 memoir, What Happened.
Okay, so Hillary isn’t wandering the woods of Chappaqua smashed out of her mind on a thermos of gin and tonics, like some folks would have you believe, but it seems she likes to take the edge off with a beverage or three at the end of the night.
Relatable, and probably much healthier than Trump’s McDonald’s obsession.
Even so, we’re starting to hope there’s some truth to those rumors about the Rock running for president in 2020.
After that last election, Americans might be thinking that compararitively young health nut is a nice change of pace.

President Trump Rips James Comey Over "Golden Showers" Story in His Book

Jacob Roloff: Look at My Book! It"s Here! It"s Right Here!
Jacob Roloff and Isabel Rock has many reasons to be on top of the world right about now.
Both personally and professionally.
First, of course, the reality stars turned an exciting rumor into a romantic reality back in December when they got engaged.
And while such a moment may never be topped on one level, each half of this relationship has gone ahead and taken a major step on another level in the many weeks since.
Isabel, for instance, had her artwork accepted into a show in Oregon, sharing many photos from the exhibit on Instagram and prompting Jacob to gush over his fiancee.
“I always say this, but she is just rocking it,” the Little People, Big World star wrote as a caption to the photo above this week, adding:
“That painting behind us is the second or third that she ever made, and one of my favorites. It’s hard to choose now though, since she has painted over TWENTY FIVE new ones in the last month alone.”
Impressive indeed.
But Jacob has a reason to brag as well.
Back in September, Roloff teased a new project.
He told fans that he was in the process of writing a second book, explaining that it would be a follow-up to the series of essays he titled “Verbing” and which he previously sold on Etsy for $ 5.
Jacob even included an excerpt from his follow-up, “Out to See,” making it clear at the time that the memoir would be another introspection into what makes him tick.
“I allowed myself to be in such a frustrated state of mind for a long time, until hitting a wall of reason knowing that there must be another way,” writes Roloff in this second book, likely referring to the period when he quit Little People, Big World and distanced himself from his family.
“I retreated just a little bit further into seclusion with books, and cultivation of intellect and mind,” he writes. “These too, I have learned, are just tools.”
Let no one ever say Jacob Roloff is not a profound individual.
And he’s also now an excited one… because copies of his book are out!
“Spring has SPRUNG, I’m goin #OutToSee,” wrote Roloff as a caption to this image.
He added as a tease:
“Just received my first two proof copies of Out To See and it is VERY exciting. I’m going to be making the final adjustments in the next couple of weeks so I can have it ready by May 1st and in your hands by May 2nd!
“It’ll be available on Amazon’s marketplace everywhere (or perhaps with a week’s delay for AUS and UK).”
That’s fantastic news.
It coincides with Audrey and Jeremy Roloff announcing that they’re releasing a book as well.
We had been upset that there was such a long hiatus between new episodes of Little People, Big World — but if the family members used this break to write memoirs, we take it all back.
Now we’re just psyched to read them!
For the record, however, TLC has now confirmed that a new season of this fun reality show kicks off on April 3.
We’ll be directly in front of our television screens that evening, that’s for sure.
Will you be joining us?!?
