Joel Osteen"s Houston Megachurch Can"t Open Because of Flood Waters

Audrey Roloff: I Can"t Wait to Meet My Baby, But...
Audrey Roloff is about to become a first-time mother.
And, don’t get her wrong, the Little People, Big World star is excited.
But she isn’t anxious… and there’s a big difference, Roloff tries to explain in her latest Instagram post.
“People are constantly asking me, ‘Are you so ready to get that baby out of you?’ wrote Audrey over the weekend as a caption to the above image, adding:
“And as excited as I am to meet her, I’m also trying to cherish our final days “just us” before baby girl rocks our world.”
Audrey has said her bag is packed. She’s ready to head to the hospital once she goes into labor.
She’ll be a parent for the rest of her life at that point, however, and she’ll never get this late-stages-of-pregnancy time back ever again.
“In the waiting, I’ve been focusing on thankfulness, and gratitude has made me even more in awe of the beauty of pregnancy,” she explains.
“I am so blessed to carry this life inside of me, not of my own strength and striving, but through God’s miraculous design for creating life.”
As you can see above and below, Roloff has kept social media users well apprised as to the state of her baby bump. She’s been an open book online.
As is the case with this new message, she’s been candid about the role of God in her life as well.
“Lord, may she be a compassionate, creative, and courageous daughter, full of joy and overflowing with peace,” Roloff wrote as a prayer to her daughter this summer, adding:
“Give her a strong sense of discernment and good judgment so that she will not be easily deceived.
“Bless her with iron friendships – friendships that will refine her and sharpen her. I ask for your favor over her life Lord.
“May she be a Godly woman who leads others to the foot of the cross and loves them the whole way there.”
Roloff is due on August 31.
We know she and Jeremy will welcome a girl and we know their journey will be at the center of the next Little People, Big World season.
“Focusing on each present moment, rather than longing for future moments, has made my heart abundantly thankful – and “thanksgiving always precedes the miracle,” Audrey says now on Instagram.
“As @annvoskamp so beautifully puts it, “In a world addicted to speed, we blur the moments…” I don’t want to live through blurred moments.
“I want to experience the abundance of a life lived fully present – wide eyed, thankful, and brimming with joy.”
What a great attitude, right?
We should all manage to appreciate every moment in life, even as we ponder the major one coming up next.
As a website, The Hollywood Gossip continues to send Audrey and Jeremy our very best wishes.
We can’t wait to meet their little one!

Usher: She Can"t PROVE I Gave Her Herpes! But I"m Not Denying That I Have It ...
Even though Usher was exposed by a hotel staffer who witnessed one of his alleged hookups, it looks like he’s still fighting his accusers.
Usher stands accused of basically giving out herpes like the world’s worst party favor, and he has tens of millions of dollars on the line.
He’s now refuting the claim of a woman who says that he gave her herpes. Curiously, he isn’t quite denying that he has herpes.
Okay, so the story goes like this:
Allegedly, Usher engaged in an ongoing sexual fling with a Georgia woman who, very understandably, has remained anonymous.
The two were having unprotected sex when, reportedly, there was a greenish discharge from Usher’s penis.
(Sorry; that’s gross)
Usher apparently assured the woman that he did not have an STI, though it’s reported that he was in fact diagnosed as an asymptomatic carrier for herpes several years ago (like, back around 2010).
Basically, an asymptomatic carrier is someone who carries a virus without having to feel the effects.
Yikes.
So, he’s accused of deceiving her about his diagnosis and then continuing to have sex with her while knowing that he was putting her at risk.
She says that she came down with a fever and aches and then painful blistered blossomed on her genitals.
That sure sounds like the herpes virus to us, folks.
She is suing him. After learning that he previously paid a woman about $ 1 million in a settlement for the same thing, she increased her requested amount to $ 20 million.
That’s a lot of money.
Though some would question if you can put a price on a life ruined by an incurable disease.
Others have spoken out, accusing Usher of having herpes and endangering them with risk of infection.
Well, TMZ reports that Usher has responded to the lawsuit. Basically, he says that she has no proof.
According to court documents, Usher’s team notes that the anonymous Georgia woman doesn’t mention having been tested for STIs before hooking up with Usher.
Therefore, they argue, a previous sexual partner could have given her herpes.
TMZ didn’t touch on this, but we should note that we don’t think that herpes can be traced through DNA in the same way that, say, specific mutations of HIV can be connected.
However, antibody levels can be tested in order to approximate how long ago a person was infected.
So you can identify a timeframe through testing, but you need more information to identify the partner who gave it to you.
After they’ve suggested that this woman is so promiscuous that somebody else could have given her herpes, Usher’s team makes it worse.
They go on to basically shame the woman for engaging in unprotected sex, saying that she “assumed the risk” of herpes just by doing that.
Ugh.
That slut-shaming argument is grosser to us than the story of green discharge oozing out of Usher’s penis.
Interestingly, Usher’s legal team didn’t try to present the simplest possible argument.
They could have nipped all of this in the bud with: “This lawsuit is bogus because Usher doesn’t have herpes.”
The court could order STI screening and they could all be on their way.
But Usher’s attorney’s make no such claim, which strikes some as close to an admission that Usher has herpes.

Maci Bookout Reacts to Ryan Edwards Tinder Scandal: He Can"t Be Trusted!
Ryan Edwards was recently busted hitting on women on Tinder, and Maci Bookout believes this reinforces how untrustworthy he is.
The Teen Mom: OG stars share one son, Bentley, who Maci says is her only concern regarding Ryan’s alleged cheating on wife Mackenzie.
Reports of Edwards sexting on Tinder surfaced last week, as the reality star was apparently caught sending lewd messages and images.
This scandal involving the troubled MTV star comes just a few short months after his bizarre parking lot wedding to Mackenzie Standifer.
If you watch Teen Mom OG online, you remember the rushed, controversial nuptials on the most bizarre season finale in show history.
You also know the deluge of questions this raised:
Why was he high at the time? Why was she allowing him to drive in such a state, and shutting off the dash cam en route to the ceremony?
More significantly, why were the two hastily marrying in such fashion, without his own son (or anyone but his parents) present for it?
In any event, the way that played out made a lot of people skeptical about the couple’s future prospects … and then came last week.
A Tennessee woman claimed that Ryan sent her suggestive messages and pics on the app, talking about getting him hard and the like.
Ryan asked if she was “DTF,” she said that she was, depending on who was asking, and they began arranging a time and place to “chill.”
It’s not clear if said in-person meetup actually happened.
We’re guessing not, because she said “I want to see more of you” first, and he later admitted who he was and that he is in fact married.
Just looking to have some fun, he said. And show off his d–k, evidently. Not something a wife wants to find out about her new spouse.
She stood by him, though, flaunting her engagement and wedding rings (below) and changing her Instagram name to Mackenzie Edwards.
Still, she was clearly very rattled by what happened.
Privately, Mackenzie confronted the Tinder girl and begged her to stop. The unnamed woman appeared unapologetic and blamed Ryan.
This response prompted Standifer to threaten to deal with her “the hard way,” though it’s unclear what that specifically entails.
As for Maci’s response – especially in light of Ryan’s recent issues with addiction and the custody disputes that caused in the last year?
Let’s just say she wasn’t shocked, which says a lot.
“Maci wasn’t surprised at all about the allegations that Ryan was sexting some chick on Tinder,” a source close to Bookout revealed.
Implying he’s been unfaithful before, she “can’t help thinking … a leopard never changes its spots, and once a cheater always a cheater.”
“What really worries her though is his sobriety.”
“Maci has had reservations about Ryan being able to stay sober, and this latest scandal just reinforces her belief that he’s not to be trusted.”
As for potential backlash from Standifer, Edwards’ young wife whom Bookout has clashed with before, Maci is nonplussed.
“Maci couldn’t care less about Mackenzie and her feelings. She’s is super worried about Ryan being around their son right now.”
Ouch. Obviously, this is an ugly situation.
Just because Ryan allegedly tried to cheat on Mackenzie doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not sober, though one can’t help but wonder.
It’s safe to assume that a man who just got married, yet is asking Tinder girls to “show me how pink it is” is not in a good place mentally.
The danger is that Bookout is caught in a tough situation, wanting to protect her son above all else, but not rankle Ryan and his wife.
Maci questioning Ryan’s sobriety or ability to parent Bentley is not something that’s gone over well in the past, to say the absolute least.
A separate source said that the two are sick of Maci’s “drama,” just want her to “move on” and not be totally “obsessed with him relapsing.”
That would be fair, but Edwards’ behavior isn’t giving him much of a leg to stand on, as you have to think he’s a little unstable right now.
Meanwhile, two more women have come forward with claims that he contacted them on the dating app, Radar Online is reporting today.
This isn’t altogether stunner, as Tinder matches can be stockpiled rather easily (if you’re swiping at all, you’re likely doing it a lot).
More shockers could be coming, however.
If these new claims are confirmed and more raunchy messages are revealed, it won’t exactly help his marriage … or custody arguments.

Donald Trump Can"t Spell, Twitter Gives Him "Heel"
Donald Trump has done it, folks.
Brought the country together and acted like a rational human who actually cares about the citizens of America? HA! No.
Instead, Trump has somehow his Covfefe disaster on Twitter by misspelling the word "heal." Twice.
How did this error come about? And how did Twitter react to the mistake? Scroll down to find out!
1. The First Try:
Trump wrote this Tweet after initially slamming the protestors who stood against neo-Nazis in Boston as “anti-police agitators.” For the record, this is not how to spell the type of “heal” he meant.
2. The Second Try:
Nope, same word. Same misspelling.
3. The Third Try:
Look at that! It was the charm!
4. Remeber When He Said This?
He really did.
5. Help from Merriam-Webster
The folks behind the dictionary offered some assistance to the President.
6. Sir… Sir… SIR!
Just give me your phone, okay?

Kylie Jenner Cosmetics is Worth… Wait… WHAT?!? This Can"t Be Right
When she poses for selfies online, Kylie Jenner rarely wears a lot of clothing.
When she checks her bank account these days, however, Kylie Jenner sees a whole lot of money.
Just how much money may cause your jaw to shatter based on the speed at which it will drop to the floor.
Featured on WWD.com, Kylie and mother Kris Jenner spoke to the website this week about the former’s beauty company, Kylie Cosmetics.
And while it may have received some very negative customer reviews over the years, that apparently has not stopped people from purchasing products sponsored by Kylie.
Not by a long shot.
Kylie Cosmetics reportedly made $ 420 million in sales over the past 18 months, according to paperwork filed by Kris Jenner and discussed in the WWD article.
The fashion trade goes on to write that the company is projected to see sales go up by 25 percent next year… and is on track to become a billion-dollar beauty brand by 2022.
Yes, a BILLION-DOLLAR beauty brand.
Take that, Kim Kardashian, huh?
For context of this accomplishment, WWD notes that Estee Laude reached revenues of $ 500 million after a decade.
And L’Oreal’s Lancome became a billon-dollar brand in 2015. After 80 years.
Kylie Cosmetics, meanwhile, wasn’t even created until 2015. This is all pretty nuts.
“In the beginning I didn’t really know what my vision was,” Kylie told WWD, explaining of her business endeavor:
“I didn’t know if I wanted to keep my whole line the same, consistent.
“And then I think I realized over time that I like to switch it up, so … that’s where I kind of started creating my collections and just changing all my vials pink if I wanted to and doing fun unit cartons and just really, just having fun with the line.”
The 20-year old mogul launched her now-famous lip kits in three shades in November of 2015.
“I refreshed the page about a minute after we launched and everything was sold out,” she said. “I thought there was a glitch at first.”
Since this time , Jenner has expanded her collection to include blushes, highlighters and eyeshadow palettes.
“I think people were surprised that the brand is so successful because it’s something that Kylie’s created but didn’t really expect the whole business to be the perfect storm,” says her mother, expounding as follows:
“One they tried it, saw it, wore it, were able to experiment with it, and it’s such a great product and it’s so well done, it just kind of exploded and I think that people were thinking, ‘Oh, OK, is she really a player in this business?’
“And I think she proved that she is.”
Concludes her famous, supportive parent:
“Kylie is hardworking, creative, focused and she has the most amazing work ethic of anybody I’d ever met in my life and she really considers this her true passion, an honor and a huge responsibility…
“She’s amazing."”
And just to think… if Kim had never been plowed by Ray J on camera, none of this would be possible.
Talk about amazing!
Anna Faris: I Can"t Stop Crying Over Chris Pratt!
As you surely know by now, Chris Pratt and Anna Faris are no longer together.
You know that because they made that heartbreaking announcement, and also because you’ve probably already gotten an invitation to true love’s funeral.
In that tragic statement, which Chris shared to his Facebook page on Sunday night, he explained that “Anna and I are sad to announce we are legally separating.”
“We tried hard for a long time, and we’re really disappointed.”
About their son, precious little Jack, he wrote “Our son has two parents who love him very much and for his sake we want to keep this situation as private as possible moving forward.”
“We still have love for each other,” he concluded, “will always cherish our time together and continue to have the deepest respect for one another.”
It hurts just as much as it did the first time, doesn’t it?
It actually hurts a little worse, because it’s been three days now and this whole thing still hasn’t turned out to be a joke — hey, we can’t be the only ones holding out hope for a super belated “April Fools!”
But what happened? What could have torn apart this once solid couple?
We’ve heard that neither Chris nor Anna cheated, and they there hasn’t been any accusations of cheating, either.
A new report from Hollywood Life backs that up, and throws in some extra upsetting details of the split, too!
A source tells the website that “Infidelity was not an issue in the split between Chris and Anna, who are dealing with their separation as amicably as possible.”
“They still talk daily and are on good terms, not vicious, mad or angry at each other like so many high-profile divorces.”
Instead of feuding and high drama and all that mess — looking at you Brangelina — “they are taking a page out of Gwyneth and Chris Martin’s book and are trying to be as good to each other as possible as they begin to move forward with the divorce paperwork.”
“Their main concern continues to be the best parents they can for their son during this challenging time.”
Which is all great. Or, you know, as great as news about Chris Pratt and Anna Faris divorcing can be.
But wait for the kicker …
“Anna has been crying daily since the split,” the source claims, “and is leaning heavily on her family for support during this difficult time.”
Meanwhile, “Chris has turned to some of his closer guy friends, who have been through similar situations, for advice and guidance.”
We’re sure that if they came to the decision to split, it’s what’s best for the family, so hopefully after some time things won’t be quite so very sad.
But right now … this is just really, really rough, huh?

Matt Roloff Cradles Grandson, Can"t Believe He"s This Lucky
Matt Roloff is not about to take a single moment of grandparent-hood for granted.
At least not until little Jackson Kyle pees all over his brand new sweater.
We’re just kidding.
In all seriousness, the Little People, Big World star has shared a couple new photos of his grandson online, while also making it clear to followers that he could not be any more in love.
“I’m the luckiest grandpa ever.. I get to see Jackson almost every single day.. often several times each day,” Roloff wrote as a caption to the Facebook photo above on Sunday.
He then made a point of giving props to his son and his daughter-in-law for ensuring their child spends a lot of time with other members of the family.
“Thank you, Zach and Tori, for coming to the farm so often,” Matt added.
And just in case you thought it couldn’t get any more precious than the snapshot featured here, Matt went ahead and posted the following image on Instagram:
HOLY HILARIOUS CUTENESS, right?!?
“Forget about it!! Spoken in a deep raspy voice,” Matt captioned this picture.
The veteran reality star previously gushed over Jackson in a video that featured the three-month old talking… sort of.
He and his ex-wife, Amy Roloff, simply can’t get enough of the family’s first grandchild.
And we can’t blame them! Not one bit!
Just look at this precious little fella:
Elsewhere in major Roloff news, daughter Molly is getting married on August 5.
The ceremony and reception will take place at the family farm, with Radar Online warning that a bit of drama may ensue.
Why? Because both Matt and Amy will be bringing their relatively new significant others to the event.
Amy will attend with boyfriend Chris Malek, while Caryn Chandler will be on Matt’s arm when he gives his only daughter away.
Will this really be a big deal, however?
Amy and Matt split in 2015 after nearly three decades of wedded bliss and both have reacted to the break-up in mature fashion.
“After 27 years of marriage, it is with great sadness that we have come to the difficult decision to file for divorce,” the Roloff parents wrote at the time.
They continued:
“We are proud of what we have accomplished together, including raising our four wonderful children, who have grown to become remarkable adults and building our strong and ongoing successful businesses.
“Our kids and our ever-growing family, and the love and support we have for them, will be our priority. We will continue to work together side-by-side in the daily responsibilities for our many current ventures.
“We would like to thank our family, friends, and all our fans for their continued support and understanding during this difficult time.”
To date, Amy and Matt have stuck by these words.
They’ve always put their children first and we see no reason why that will change on the most important day of one of their children’s lives.
We just hope Molly shares a few wedding photos online at some point next week.
We really want to see her dress!

Kate Middleton: I Can"t Get Pregnant with Meghan Markle Around!
Doesn’t it seem like it’s high time Kate Middleton got pregnant again?
She gave birth to her first child with Prince William, that adorable little George, in July of 2013, and then they welcomed precious Charlotte in May of 2015.
That’s almost exactly two years between those two kids — so judging by that timetable she’s set up, we should actually be expecting that third baby any day now.
But as much as we would like another royal baby, of course Kate isn’t technically obligated to have more children.
Maybe two kids are enough for her, and that’s a perfectly valid choice.
She and William don’t owe us an explanation for their plans for their family.
Still, even though we know logically that their baby-making schedule is really none of our business, it’s just human nature to be curious about it.
And a new report from Celebrity Dirty Laundry gives a pretty interesting explanation for the lack of new babies …
Hint: it’s all Meghan Markle’s fault.
“If there’s one thing that the Duchess of Cambridge doesn’t want to do,” the report begins, “it’s compete with Meghan Markle for media attention and headlines.”
Which makes sense — Kate has been in the family for a while now, but Meghan is new and exciting and getting a whole mess of press.
We keep hearing rumors that Prince Harry is planning on proposing to Meghan sometime this year, most likely in the fall.
We also keep hearing that their wedding would take place shortly after.
And, as the saying goes, first comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the whole entire world keeping an eye on Meghan’s midsection in hopes they might spot a bump.
Basically, Kate knows that when it comes to royal news, it’s The Meghan and Harry Show right now, and if she were to get pregnant, it wouldn’t get as much attention as it might get another time.
She seems to have a rough time with pregnancy anyway, so why waste one when she knows she won’t be everyone’s main focus?
Sure, it seems like a weird reason to put off having a baby, but as the report says, “there’s no doubt that she loves all the attention that she gets whenever she’s pregnant.”
And hey, the heart wants what it wants, right?
Besides, the report adds that Kate is “already having a difficult time keeping an eye on her two small children,” and we know the queen wants her and William to start doing more royal engagements.
Little George will be ready to start school soon, too, and she wants to be involved in that.
There are lots of reasons why she’s putting off pregnancy, apparently.
But the biggest one is that Meghan Markle is stealing all the attention.

Richard Simmons Can"t Sue, Reputation Wasn"t Destroyed After Transitioning Story
Richard Simmons’ reputation wasn’t destroyed after a story ran he was transitioning to a woman and that’s why he can’t sue … so claims the National Enquirer. The Enquirer’s parent company — American Media — filed docs saying the fitness guru’s…
Rick Ross: I Can"t Sign Female Rappers! I Would F--k Them!
Having your own business is a good thing. It gives you a lot of control over several things to do with said business.
For people like Rick Ross, it gives him the ability to have creative control over his music.
But that’s not all.
It also allows him to pick and choose who he does business with, and in a new interview, it’s clear he has to be picky, or he runs the risk of being on the receiving end of some lawsuits.
The rapper is appearing on VH1’s reality series, Signed, and he opened up about what you have to be like to snag a lucrative recording contract with him.
“When I’m looking for artists, I’m really just looking for something that I’ve never seen, first and foremost,” he said.
“If it’s something that’s unique, that’s something that’s in demand. After that, I want to see that hunger. I just need to see that hunger, you know what I mean?”
“Because I’ve seen artists that have maybe less talent but more drive make it to the top first, you know what I mean? To me, that’s extremely important. Once you show me something unique, and you show me that hunger, Double-M G is ready to rock.”
Basically, it’s the category people would fall into if they were looking for a record deal, host, Angela Yee noticed that the label had signed a grand total of zero females, and Rick had the most horrible response to her perfectly valid question.
“You know, I never did it because I always thought, like, I would end up f–king the female rapper and f–king the business up. I’m so focused on my business. I gotta be honest with you,” the record executive said while trying to keep a straight face.
Surely, if he was “so focused” on the business, he would be able to keep things strictly professional.
“She’s lookin’ good, I’m spending so much money on her photo shoots—I gotta f–k a couple times.”
We’re all for honesty here, but that has got to be the most bizarre and downright terrible reason for not letting females have a contract with him.
He went one step further and essentially told Angela that he would hit bone town with her if she were to be lucky enough to wind up with him.
“Like, if I signed you or something, I would have to…,” he said.
“Shut up,” Yee said with a laugh, but she was clearly frustrated by the lack of female presence at the label and rightfully so.
Yee then said that he had a good working relationship with fellow rapper, Trina, in the past.
“She’s most definitely somebody I would love to have, vibe with on that level,” he said, “but she had a situation with somebody that was a big homie in my city, one of my big-time homies, one of the big homies…I’m just one of those dudes. If you rock with one of my homies, you know, cool. Imma spare you.”
With Trina, he added, “I was able to just focus on the music and the records.”
If he wanted to garner some press for the VH1 series, he definitely accomplished that goal, but he went the complete wrong way about it.
Instead, he’s essentially offended a lot of people, and proven that he’s a misogynistic pig. Hardly the best way to promote your series and brand, right?
We definitely think a lot less of Rick after his horrible comments, and we’re not the only ones. Rick took to Facebook to apologize for his remarks because he understood they were not the best words to use.
“I want to address an insensitive comment I made on a very sensitive issue, especially in a minority dominated industry like hip hop,” the rapper wrote.
“My entire empire’s backbone is led by 2 of the strongest people I know and they happen to be women, my mother and sister. The operations wouldn’t run without them and I have the highest regard and respect for women in this industry. I have a daughter myself, my most cherished gift in the world.”
He continued, “My comment is not reflection of my beliefs on the issue. A mistake I regret. I hope to use my mistake, my platform and the community to create positive discussion to implement change on a very important issue. respect for the ones who stand up to say hey that isn’t right. Now it’s time to accept responsibility and all do better.”
“I look forward to continue working with & supporting female artists. my discovery process was documented by vh1 on #signed which premiered last night. Many of the most talented artists you’ll see in the running to be the next #MMG superstars are female artists. I look forward to clarifying my comments through my support.”
Ross concluded, “Thank you to everyone who’s going through the journey with me, we coming out everyday stronger.”
If you want to promote something, don’t single out a gender and say you can’t work with them because you would “f–k” them.
What do you think about all of this?
