Ronnie Ortiz-Magro: Moving on With Scheana Marie? Already?!?

Gym, Tan, Laundry?

Please.

This motto may have been applicable to the first version of Jersey Shore, but Ronnie Ortiz-Magro clearly has a new tagline for the revived version of this MTV series:

Insult, Cheat, Dump.

The controversial MTV personality has been in the news for all the wrong reasons this week, having broken up with girlfriend Jen Harley in the most public and cruel way possible.

Over the course of numerous social media messages, Ronnie…

… slammed Harley as a “cum dumpster.”

… accused of her keeping old sex tapes she made with an ex-boyfriend.

… alleged that she cheated on him with a friend.

… called her a “hoe.”

The pair went at it over Instagram this past weekend, prior to Ronnie apologizing for taking his issues public.

Except then Ronnie deleted his Mea Culpa and bashed Harley even harder.

You can relive the very ugly situation below, vicious blow by vicious blow:

Sadly, there’s even a video included in the above summary of Ronnie and Jen nearly coming to physical blows.

It’s terrible. You can watch it HERE.

“I am done with all this drama,” Harley told Instagram followers yesterday, adding:

“I am a grown woman with a beautiful little girl and a little boy.

“I don’t need a cheating abusive man in my life who’s only tearing me apart not building me up. From now on it’s just me and my kids.”

One of those kids belongs to Ronnie, as he and Jen welcomed a girl named Ariana into the world early last month.

Ronnie, however, doesn’t seem too broken up over the break-up.

Last night, in fact, he seemed downright giddy while spending time with … Scheana Marie?!?

Oh yes.

The Jersey Shore star apparently hung out yesterday with Marie and many others for a Vanderpump Rules season finale viewing party.

In videos posted to Marie’s Instagram Story, Ronnie can be seen hanging with fellow MTV stars Chester Lockhart and Kailah Casillas, as well as Kailah’s boyfriend, Mikey P.

“I mean, while watching the Vanderpump Rules finale, like we have our own reality show in my condo,” Scheanna says in one piece of Instagram footage.

Now, just because Ronnie was chilling with Scheana, does this mean they’re an item?

Or at least that they’re hooking up?

No, not necessarily.

But we know Marie is single, considering she basically invented a romance during this past season of Vanderpump Rules.

And we also know that Ronnie would knock proverbial boots with anyone that has boobs, so… it’s a match made in drunken reality television heaven!

Mikey P, meanwhile, defended his boy with the following caption last night:

“There are two sides to every story,” he wrote, clearly referring to the Harley mess and adding:

“I don’t give a f-ck what you think you saw or heard or whatever. I’ve been one of @realronniemagro’s best friends for 10 years now.

“Don’t come at me with some bullsh-t, I ain’t tryna hear it. PIPE DOWN. #rideformydogs.”

We’re gonna stay away from comment on that passionate defense and instead cite an E! News source who claims that Ronnie and Scheana are just friends.

That may be true.

But it doesn’t mean they can’t be friends with some sexual benefits.

As for Ronnie’s ugly split from his baby mama?

This was the final thing he told fans about it this week:

“I want to apologize to my family, friends and fans. This is a private matter that should have never been made public.

“I remain focused on my daughter and she is my number one priority.”

Jessica Alba: Husband Pens Moving Birthday Tribute

Jessica Alba is kind, beautiful, and incredibly talented. A lot of people love her, and with good reason.

But few know her so well or love her so much as her husband, Cash Warren.

Over the weekend, he penned a beautiful birthday message to her that will make you believe in love again.

April 28 was Jessica Alba’s birthday, and this stunning actress turned 37 years old.

Cash wrote a touching tribute to his wife as she snuggled with the couple’s daughters.

(They have three children; Jessica Alba gave birth to their third child on New Year’s Eve, 2017)

“I wrote this last night :)”

Posting to Instagram, his heartwarming message has an endearingly earnest emoticon before it truly begins.

“My love – It’s the eve of your birthday, you’re sleeping, our daughters are next to you in our bed, and I couldn’t think of a better time to write you a short note.”

That is such a sweet image.

“I say it every year, but I’ll never get used to how quickly time flies.”

It must be extra hard to process, since his wife looks at least a decade younger than she is.

“We can turn tiny moments into landmark events or we can accept that landmark events are simply fleeting moments.” 

That is so poetic.

“Either way, I’m slowly realizing there’s no real way to keep tabs on life….sadly.”

Clearly, he wishes that he could record and relive every single moment of their beautiful lives.

“The specific memories fade but somehow we’re able to hold on to the feelings those memories create.”

He’s talking about implicit memories in comparison with explicit memories, and also about lasting impressions. But, you know, more romantically.

“And those feelings shape who we are and who we’ll become.”

That’s very true.

Cash thanks his beautiful wife Jessica for her evocative qualities.

“If I could thank you for one thing on your birthday, I’d thank you for giving me all the feelings.”

Fortunately, he can thank her for many things on her birthday.

Just … not until she wakes up.

“Today marks the first day of your next year of life.”

It sure does.

“And I promise to continue to cherish our tiny moments and our landmark events…”

That is so sweet!

And he isn’t done yet.

(Here we see Jessica holding her youngest baby, Hayes)

Cash finishes the message with an adorable statement.

“Cheers to you and another 365 days of having all the feels!”

(Note that “all of the feels” is a common expression on social media for expressing being overwhelmed with emotion, often by entertainment media like television or video games)

Finally, he signs his message.

“Happy Birthday my babe!! – me”

That is so cute, so genuine, and so sweet.

That kind of love is exactly the kind of praise and adoration that Jessica deserves in her life.

She is an actress, a businesswoman, a model, and an activist. She’s also a wife and a mother.

More than that, she’s a good person who has had her low moments in life.

It is wonderful to see a happily married couple, when Hollywood marriages too often seem rushed and then doomed to fall apart.

Jessica Alba deserves the world.

Acicii: Read His Ex-Girlfriend"s Moving Tribute

The entertainment world is still reeling from the loss of Acicii.

As reported late last week, the beloved DJ was found dead on Friday at the very young age of 28.

In the days since, authorities have ruled out criminal suspicious as a cause of death, with local police in Oman (where Avicii was found) saying on record to CNN:

“Two postmortems were carried out … and we can confirm that there is no criminal suspicion in the death.”

So while we wait for further details to come in regarding what transpired with the musician, we can at least share more tributes to Avicii from those who knew him best.

Such as Emily Goldberg.

The ex-girlfriend of the DJ, Goldberg dated Avicii for two years and responded to his passing by sharing multiple photos of herself and the late star.

She also shared a moving message in his honor.

“‘Come on babe, don’t give up on us. Choose me, and I’ll show you love.’ Those are lyrics from a song Tim wrote for me,” Emily wrote to open the caption to the picture below, adding:

“I wish I could have lived up to them.

“For the two years we were together, he was my closest confidante, and my best friend. Now I can’t look at Bear without knowing I’ll never see his face again.”

Avicii’s parents, two sisters and one brother arrived over the weekend in the city of Muscat to repatriate his body this week, according to police in Oman, which is a  popular vacation destination on the Arabian Peninsula.

They are “completely devastated,” authorities say.

So is Goldberg.

She concluded one of her posts by using lyrics from the DJ’s hit “Wake Me Up,” writing:

“I’m still collecting my thoughts and thank you for all your kind words and texts. Wake me up when it’s all over, because I don’t want it to be real. #ripavicii #avicii @avicii.”

Via her Instagram page, Goldberg also shared what looks to be a screenshot of a text exchange between herself and Avicii (real name Tim Bergling) expressing their love for each other.

She captioned the post with a black heart emoji, and added the hashtags “#ripavicii #avicii.

Avicii’s death was confirmed on Friday via the following statement:

It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii.

He was found dead in Muscat, Oman, this Friday afternoon local time, April 20th.

The family is devastated and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.

Fans then gathered in Stockholm on Saturday to pay tribute to the 28-year-old Swedish superstar.

Avicii thrilled club goers with his catchy hits, flashing lights and soulful collaborations.

At one point, it would be safe to say he one of the world’s most successful DJs, along with being a major name in the electronic dance music genre known as EDM.

However, citing stress and anxiety, Avicii announced two years ago that he needed to take a break from touring.

“I was drinking way too much, partying in general way too much,” he said at the time, adding of one side effect:

“Then I got a pancreatitis attack [at 21], which is very rare. So that forced me to do a 180 and stop drinking.”

It’s unclear right now whether this condition played a role in his death.

May Avicii rest in peace.

Here is a look at what others have said about him since news of his passing went public:

Jill Zarin Loses Husband to Cancer, Releases Moving Statement

Bobby Zarin has lost his battle against cancer.

The husband of Real Housewives of New York City star Jill Zarin, Bobby passed away on Saturday while surrounded by family members and loved ones.

He was 71 years old.

In tribute to her late soulmate, Jill posted an official statement on her website on behalf of the family.

It reads as follows:

“With the heaviest of hearts, we are devastated to share the news that our beloved Bobby Zarin passed away peacefully today surrounded by family after a courageous battle with cancer.

“There are no words to describe how heartbroken we are. Thank you, everyone for all your love, and support during this difficult time.”

Along with this simple and sentimental message, the website included a photo of Bobby in a suit.

Here it is:

Bobby Zarin was initially diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2009.

He went on to have his thyroid removed, while also undergoing radioactive iodine treatment in an attempt to overcome the very serious illness.

“He’s in a better place now,” said friend and fellow Bravo personality Ramona Singer to E! News.

In July of 2015, Bobby spoke to People Magazine about the diagnosis and treatment.

“The radioactive iodine usually kills off whatever undetectable cancer cells are left in your body after surgery,” he explained at the time, adding:

“We thought it was cured – and it usually is in about 93 percent of cases. But I wasn’t able to absorb the radioactive iodine. So it came back.”

In emotional footage shared on her Instagram page back on December 3, Jill discussed how her husband was in the hospital and “was [doing] okay.”

But she clearly knew the end was sadly near.

“I’m just going to miss Bobby,” she said tearfully in this video. “I’m going to miss my life with him.”

Although the Real Housewives of New York City veteran tried to be optimistic throughout Bobby’s treatment, she said “his cancer took an unexpected turn” over the summer.

In July of last year, Bobby was admitted to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City, where he recovered from a procedure related to his disease.

“He is not going down without a fight,” Jill told People. “We’re hoping for a miracle.”

The couple was married for 17 years at the time of Bobby’s death.

In addition to Jill, Bobby is survived by his children – David Zarin, 41, Jennifer Zarin, 38, Jonathan Zarin, 35; along with 25-year-old stepdaughter Ally Shapiro.

A service for Bobby will be held at a Riverside Memorial at a yet-to-be determined date.

Our thoughts go out to Jill Zarin and all others affected by this tragedy.

May Bobby Zarin rest in peace.

Ben Affleck: Did He Leave Rehab For Christmas? Is He Moving In With Lindsay Shookus?

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Ben Affleck had checked back into rehab, marking his third stint in an addiction treatment facility in 2017.

The decision to seek medical assistance reportedly came after a relapse that left friends and family concerned for the actor’s safety.

Ben has spoken openly about his struggles with alcoholism over the years, but news of his latest round of treatment became public knowledge only after the Oscar winner was spotted attending a group therapy session at a Passages facility in Malibu.

Reported reasons for the secrecy vary, but many believe Affleck has decided to eschew the traditional 12-step method of treatment in favor of Passages’ more personalized–and controversial–approach.

Given the timing of his treatment, fans wondered if Affleck would be able to spend time with his three children during the holiday season.

Many rehab centers strictly forbid patients from coming and going, but it seems Passages takes a more relaxed approach, as Page Six is reporting that Ben was indeed released from the facility to spend Christmas with his kids.

The outlet claims that Ben went straight from rehab to a home owned by his estranged wife, Jennifer Garner.

There, he celebrated Christmas with Garner and his three children, Violet, 12, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, 5.

Ben apparently remained out of treatment for at least two days.

On Tuesday, he was spotted enjoying dinner with girlfriend Lindsay Shookus in Malibu.

Affleck reportedly remained sober throughout the meal.

Sources say Affleck and Shookus are still going strong and are currently planning a major step forward together as a couple.

According to Page Six, Affleck and Shookus, a producer on SNL, recently purchased an apartment together in 15 Central Park West, one of Manhattan’s most exclusive buildings.

Affleck will reportedly join Shookus in the new digs once he completes treatment.

A Boston native, Ben’s no stranger to the East Coast, but he’s spent most of his adult life living in Southern California.

The return east represents a major change for Ben, and while his relationship with Shookus has reportedly had a positive effect on his mental health, some are concerned that the 45-year-old is “pulling a geographic” and attempting to flee from his addiction.

Affleck’s three children will reportedly remain in the Los Angeles area, where Ben will continue to own a home and visit frequently.

We wish Ben and his family all the best during this difficult time.

Tristan Thompson Pens Moving Tribute to Pregnant Khloe Kardashian

Khloe Kardashian is pregnant.

This is not breaking news.

It’s been assumed and discussed by multiple reliable outlets for just about two months now.

However, we can now scream it from the rooftops and openly wonder about potential baby names with our friends… because Khloe herself has confirmed the development!

“My greatest dream realized! We are having a baby!” wrote Khloe on Wednesday night, along with a picture of her baby bump and her boyfriend’s hands.

She added:

“I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along. He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient.

“I still at times can’t believe that our love created life!”

That is sort of an incredible thing to wrap one’s mind around.

Shortly after Khloe shared this image and penned these meaningful words, Tristan Thompson chimed in with his thoughts.

The Cleveland Cavaliers power forward has been dating Khloe for well over a year now and, although he doesn’t have plans to marry her, he’s clearly smitten.

Very smitten.

So smitten that he left his pregnant girlfriend for Khloe.

But that’s a story for a different day.

This is a time for celebration, as Thompson acknowledged in the Comments section of Kardashian’s Instagram page.

“My love, Thank you for allowing me to be apart [sic] of your journey and entering your life that day at the bel air hotel. One of the best moments of my life,” Thompson wrote.

The father of a child who was born almost exactly a year ago, Tristan concluded his reaction as follows:

“I’m soo happy to be on this journey together with you and creating this angel from the man above.

“Everyday [sic] I give thanks to him for bringing us together.

“I love you soo much and I know our little angel feels the love we share together and will know that mommy and daddy loves them unconditional and forever and ever amen.”

Word of Khloe’s pregnancy hit the Internet on September 26.

Fans have wondered ever since:

• When is she due?


• Will she have a boy or girl?


• How will she make her announcement?

Choosing not to do so on Keeping Up with the Kardashians or on some magazine cover, Khloe instead chose a simple and lucrative option:

The social media photo above, which includes a clear image of her Calvin Klein-sponsored attire.

“I was so nervous to post our announcement but WOWWW I am overwhelmed with the response by you guys!!!” she Tweeted a few hours ago, showering her supporters with gratitude.

“Thank you! Thank you!”

She also added on Instagram as part of her reveal:

Tristan, thank you for loving me the way that you do! Thank you for treating me like a Queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages!

Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!! You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned!

I will never forget how wonderful you’ve been to me during this time! Thank you for making me so happy my love!”

As most fans of this family are well aware of, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are expecting a third child (via surrogate) any week now, while Kylie Jenner is also pregnant.

The 20-year old seems less excited about that fact that Khloe does about her expecting state, however.

The latter, after all, has always been open about wanting to start a family and is in a dedicated, long-term relationship.

The former is … well… 20 years old and may not even be dating baby daddy Travis Scott any longer.

But that’s not the point right now.

The point right now is that folks online are PSYCHED for their favorite Kardashian sister, as you can see below:

We share these sentiments.

We’d like to send Khloe and Tristan our best wishes.

We hope she has a relatively easy pregnancy and, of course, a very happy and healthy child.

Christina and Tarek El Moussa Mark Split-erversary with Moving Instagram Posts

Who says a couple can’t break up and still get along?

Even if that break up involves on person pulling out a gun and the other person later dating a mutual friend?

Approximately one year ago, Christina and Tarek El Moussa announced their split.

It was a surprising confirmation for HGTV viewers that had spent the past few years watching Christina and Tarek successful renovate homes on Flip or Flop.

The couple share two little kids and at least appeared to get along pretty well on screen.

But we learned shortly after their separation that all was not perfect.

In fact, Tarek actually stormed off into the woods with a gun in the spring of 2016 after he and his wife got into a serious argument.

Concerned for Tarek’s safety, Christina called the police.

All was eventually sorted out (Tarek said he wanted the gun to keep wild animals away); no charges were filed; but the marriage was basically over.

In their statement announcing as much, Christina and Tarek assured fans that they would remain friends and that raising their two young kids would be a priority.

It’s the same things all famous people say when they go their separate ways.

But the El Moussas actually meant it!

Neither side has bad-mouthed the other over the past several months, even after Christina dated family contractor Gary Anderson for a bit.

And they are co-parenting their son and daughter like champs.

To make the anniversary of their public split, both sides of this ex-couple wrote something important on Instagram.

“You do not get to choose the events that come your way nor the sorrows that interrupt your life,” reads an excerpt from the pastor David Crosby’s book Your Pain is Changing You, shared by Christina.

“They will likely be a surprise to you, catching you off guard and unprepared.

“You may hold your head in your hands and lament your weak condition and wonder what you ought to do.”

“Couldn’t agree more,” Christina wrote alongside the message above, which also includes the words:

To suffer, that is common to all. To suffer and still keep your composure, your faith, and your smile, that is remarkable.

She used the hashtag “#KeeptheFaith,” as well.

Tarek, meanwhile, posted a quote from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.

It reads:

“Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.”

This is a reference to how the beloved author was famously way down on her luck before selling her first Harry Potter book.

Tarek, for his part, has now overcome two different cancer diagnoses, as well as this divorce.

“This quote really stood out to me,” Tarek told his followers, adding:

“We’ve all faced obstacles and for many they were so horrific they hit the lowest point of their life with no future in sight….when you are at the bottom you feel nothing but pain, misery and despair.”

He concluded:

“Even though you can’t see the light at the bottom it still exists and as time goes on that light starts to shine.

“Once that light starts to shine take the opportunity to reevaluate who you are and what you want to be. Take it as an opportunity to bounce back and be stronger than ever.

“In my opinion, rock bottom is an opportunity to start over and do it right!”

We all could learn a lot from Tarek and Christina El Moussa, which is a sentiment we never imagined we’d express a year ago.

Meghan Markle: Quitting Suits! Moving to London!

As far as we know, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are not engaged.

Fans of the couple have been waiting for Harry to pop the question for months, but either he’s still waiting for the right time, or he and Meg aren’t quite ready to share their big news with the public just yet.

But either way, it seems marriage is definitely in the cards for these two.

Fans want them married yesterday, but Meg and Harry are taking their time and adhering to royal protocol.

When a prince pops the question, he doesn’t just slip a ring in his girlfriend’s dollar margarita at Applebee’s.

No, Harry and Meg can’t get hitched until about a dozen people sign off on the idea.

It’s an outdated and somewhat ridiculous process, but unfortunately, Markle has to jump through quite a few hoops before she gets a ring.

Meghan has met the Queen and reportedly secured her approval, but that’s only the beginning.

Sources say Meghan recently began sticking to the royal dress code (pants and long skirts only, as apparently knees would offend the peasants, or something), and apparently that’s not the only way that Meghan is being encouraged to change her lifestyle.

Meghan stars on the USA Network legal drama Suits, but it seems she’s currently switching gears with an eye toward becoming a full-time royal.

“She is looking at the future and definitely feels she has come to the end of her acting career. She feels it’s time to move on and do something different,’ a source close to Markle tells Vanity Fair.

“It was always her intention to focus on her humanitarian work, but I think her relationship with Harry has accelerated things moving in that direction.”

Yes, Meghan is no stranger to philanthropy, and she’s long devoted her free time to helping others.

Now, however, she’ll able to commit herself to humanitarian work full time.

Kate Middleton is currently one of her nation’s most high-profile advocates for the less fortunate, and it seems Meg has every intention of following suit when she moves to London, which will reportedly happen next month.

It’s a calling that doesn’t offer the same glitz and glamour of starring on a basic cable legal dram, but we’re sure Meghan will adapt.

And we bet returning home to your fully-staffed castle really takes the sting out of spending your days with the unwashed masses.

Ben Affleck & Lindsay Shookus: Moving In Together?!

It’s been three months since we first learned that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus are dating, but there are many who believe the couple has been together much longer than that.

In fact, according to one persistent rumor that’s plagued the actor and the SNL producer from the start of their relationship, Ben started dating Lindsay while he was still married to Jennifer Garner.

We have our doubts about that one, as it would mean that Ben and Lindsay kept their relationship on the down-low for a full year after he and Garner separated, which seems impossible.

Ben’s notoriously secretive about his personal life, so we may never find out exactly when he started hooking up with Lindsay, but whatever the case, these two are definitely at the “serious” stage of their relationship.

How serious are they, you ask?

Well, it looks as though Affleck and Shookus are soon to purchase a pricey piece of real estate together.

Yes, according to TMZ, Ben and Lindsay have been house shopping, and an $ 18.5 million property in Santa Monica seems to have caught the couple’s eye.

Witnesses say Affleck and Shookus spent more than an hour touring the home, and she was spotted leaving the property with a spec sheet in her hand.

In order to fully appreciate the significance of this news, you have to understand that in Southern California, buying property together ranks above adopting a dog and just below adopting a child on the spectrum of commitment gestures.

We’ve been hearing rumors about Ben and Lindsay getting engaged for months now, but we mostly dismissed them.

After all, Ben can barely commit to a superhero project, and getting married is a slightly bigger deal.

But if these two are buying a house together, all bets are off.

Granted, Lindsay doesn’t fit the mold of a typical Affleck significant other (She’s neither famous, nor named Jen.), but perhaps this is the dawn of a new era in Ben’s life.

Of course, there’s still the minor problem of the fact that Lindsay is based out of New York, and Ben seems to have no intention of leaving LA.

But maybe Affleck can pull some strings and have SNL relocated to the West Coast.

The guy’s effing Batman, and “live from Los Angeles” has a decent ring to it.

Jason Aldean: See His Moving Tribute to Las Vegas Shooting Victims

This week must have been unspeakably difficult for Jason Aldean.

He was, of course, the performer on stage at the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas when a man decided to open fire on the crowd, killing over 50 people and wounding over 500.

When the gunshots began, he rushed offstage, and he reported soon after that he and his crew were safe, but obviously heartbroken about what had happened.

But as traumatized as he must be, he still managed to make an appearance on last night"s episode of Saturday Night Live.

This week, Jason did the show"s cold open, and instead of the usual skit, he spoke directly to the audience and the cameras.

"This week, we witnessed one of the worst tragedies in American history," he began.

"Like everyone, I"m struggling to understand what happened that night, and how to pick up the pieces and start to heal."

"So many people are hurting. They"re our children, parents, brothers, sisters, friends — they"re all part of our family."

"So I want to say to them, we hurt for you, we hurt with you," he continued. "We can be sure that we"re gonna walk through these tough times together, every step of the way."

Because, Jason said, "When America is at its best, our bond and our spirit, it"s unbreakable."

And then, because his statement wasn"t touching enough, he launched into a song.

The song he decided to play?

"I Won"t Back Down," the incredibly fitting song by the late, great Tom Petty, whose death made this week even tougher than it already was.

Watch Jason"s full speech and performance in the video below:

Mohamed Jbali is Moving, Asking For Help From Fans

Mohamed Jbali seems to be making the best of his stay in the US, despite Danielle Mullins’ efforts to ruin his life. She’s suing him now, but she’s previously tried to get him deported and we don’t know for sure that she’s given up on that.

But though Mohamed says he’s done with 90 Day Fiance, he’s not done updating fans on his life and plans via social media.

And, following some hints, he’s shared that he’s leaving his current residence. But where is he going? And why is he asking for help?

Don’t worry — Mohamed Jbali hasn’t been deported.

Not yet, anyway.

He came here, he went through the K-1 visa process, he even consummated his marriage to Danielle Mullins with a single incidence of sex.

(That’s not enough for Danielle Mullins to not be a bitter ex, but it’s enough that Danielle was told that her odds of getting an annulment are slim-to-none, which means that Mohamed gets to stay in the US … we think)

Anyway, Mohamed seems to be making an effort to move away from Danielle — and that means moving out of Florida.

Specifically, he’s moving to Texas.

Following his mention of wanting to take up residence in the Lone Star state, Mohamed’s comments were apparently full of controversy.

So he responded … and is sharing a little more about his plans. Oh, and asking for help.

“I never, ever posted something and I didn’t have people fighting in the comments.”

Welcome to the internet.

“Guys, why you saying ‘It’s the red state,’ and ‘racist people,’ and ‘They are against Muslims.’ It’s just a state.”

We’ll get into the merits of that in a moment.

“There’s 50 states in America, OK? And they so many people they do live in Texas — Muslims and people who they are against Donald Trump — and they’re fine, they’re living happy.”

Yeah, Texas is home to literally millions of people who voted against Trump. There’s more to Texas than stereotypes, folks.

“If you look at the previous comments, I mean the previous post, you will see so many people they love Texas and they are happy living there.”

If you like that kind of weather, sure.

“Why, when I move there, people tell me: ‘Oh, you’re Muslim, you shouldn’t go there,’ or ‘It’s the red state,’ or ‘racist people."”

It all depends where you move within the state.

“I’m not going to be fighting with these people. I’m just going to mind my business and have my own life. That’s it.”

We should note that Mohamed Jbali is absolutely right.

And that’s not a statement that we make all that often.

First of all, Texas, like most states in the US, has a huge cultural divide between urban centers as opposed to remote, rural areas.

Heavily populated areas, like cities and their surrounding suburbs, tend to be more diverse.

Politically, they tend to lean progressive.

Sparsely populated areas might be perfectly welcoming … or not.

An electoral map of most states looks like a number of blue dots in a sea of red, some close to blue dots and others seeming totally isolated. This is not unique to Texas.

(Texas is just, you know, bigger)

So moving to a red area in California and a red area in Texas are likely going to be comparable experiences.

And we should also point out that Texas is experiencing an electoral shift.

While Trump did win Texas by about 53% of the vote to Hillary’s 43%, a number of electoral forecasters were surprised that it was so “close.” 

Nate Silver mentioned that, in the next couple of decades, it’s possible that Texas could become a swing state.

But it still has a ways to go.

You have to compare those percentages to swing states that ended up going for Trump. In North Carolina, for example, Trump won by about 49% to Hillary’s 46%. That’s a very close call.

So, long story short, if Mohamed Jbali goes to Texas and settles in Houston or Austin, he’s likely to have a normal metropolitan experience.

By the way, Mohamed is reaching out to his followers for a little help getting to Texas.

“I’m looking for a truck to move my stuff to Texas from Miami.”

Maybe he’s just sharing this with fans. If he gets an offer, he might show up only to find that it’s a trap set by Danielle Mullins.

(Kidding! Mostly …)

“The cheapest one I found is $ 1,500! Can you imagine that? $ 1,500 just for a truck. Wow. Wow. Wow. Like, imagine how much it was gonna be if I was moving to California or Washington the state or something like that!”

Even just moving to a city a few hours away can be expensive. I did it a couple of years ago.

“Life is too hard here in the States. Nothing is cheap. NOTHING is cheap! Everything is expensive.”

Yep. Standard of living is generally tied to cost of living.

“So, I gotta find another way to move my stuff without renting a truck.”

Or … he could dive back into reality television and use that cash to help him move.

Just a thought.

Jinger Duggar & Jeremy Vuolo: Moving to SCOTLAND?!

Shortly after she married Jeremy Vuolo in November of 2016, Jinger Duggar became the first of her father’s daughters to permanently relocate from her native Arkansas.

Jinger and Jeremy moved to Laredo, Texas after their wedding, and it’s been said that Jim Bob Duggar was less than thrilled by that development.

So we’re guessing he’s really not too happy about what the couple may have in store next.

Last week, Jeremy got fans buzzing with a tweet about a potential career change.

Linking to a post about a job opening at an organization called Banner of Truth, Vuolo tweeted the following: 

“Ahhhhh!!! I told you this was my dream job.”

The ecstatic tone led fans to believe that Vuolo had already accepted the position.

Which is interesting, because it would require him to move to Edinburgh, Scotland.

Banner of Truth’s Twitter page describes it as “a Christian organisation which publishes books, organises conferences, and publishes a monthly magazine. You are what you read.”

Currently, Vuolo works as a preacher, and he’s been vocal about his passion for theological research, so it’s not hard to see why the position of editorial assistant at a Christian publishing company would appeal to him.

According to the Banner of Truth website, the job would have Vuolo directly involved in the publication of faith-based books and periodicals:

“The successful candidate will be involved in all aspects of the editorial work, from early manuscript development, to detailed editing, proofing, and page design,” the description reads.

It’s still unclear if Vuolo has accepted or even applied for the job, but fans are speculating that such a move would outrage Jim Bob for a number of reasons.

For starters, if Jim Bob was displeased when Jeremy and Jinger relocated to Texas, we’re guessing he’d really be angry if they up and moved across the pond.

On top of that, Jim Bob and Jeremy differ in their religious beliefs to the extent that Jim Bob was hesitant about giving his daughter permission to marry Vuolo.

It seems the primary point of contention is the fact that Jeremy is a Calvinist, a belief system that fliest in the face of much that Jim Bob holds dear.

Though the movement began in France, Scotland is considered to the the epicenter of modern Calvinism, a designation that Jim Bob is no doubt very much aware of.

A move to Scotland would send a strong message to Jim Bob from both Jeremy and Jinger, who’s been openly rebelling against some of the draconian strictures of her childhood ever since she became a Vuolo.

It’s impossible to predict how Jim Bob would respond, but it will certainly be interesting to see how all of this plays out.

Meghan Markle: I"m Moving In With Prince Harry!

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have taken secrecy to a new level with their clandestine relationship.

Sure, we know Harry and Meghan are dating, but that’s about where the officially confirmed information stops.

The Royals don’t want us to know if Harry and Meghan are engaged, or even how long they’ve been together.

Fortunately, Buckingham Palace leaks more than Steve Bannon’s liver.

As a result, we’re able to piece together what’s going on in the relationship, and all signs seem to point to wedding bells in the very near future.

In fact, it looks as though the process has sped up rapidly in recent weeks, with Harry and Meghan eyeing a December or January wedding date.

Last week, Meghan met the Queen, presumably so that Harry could secure the royal matriarch’s approval before going public with his and Markle’s engagement.

Now, in another major step forward, the actress is preparing to bid farewell to North America in order to take up full-time residence in the UK.

Meg is obligated to remain in Toronto, where her USA network drama Suits is filmed, until December.

After that, however, her contract is up, and she’s free to relocate as her heart desires.

(We assume her character will be killed off in dry cleaning-related mishap.)

Not only does Meghan not seem interested in staying on with the show, there are other signs that she’s planning to cross the pond for good in the very near future.

The Daily Mail is reporting today that Markle has “VIP” contract with Audi months ahead of schedule, and is planning to return the QG SUV she’s been driving, with no plans to swap it out for a newer vehicle.

Audi’s are nice and all, but who needs a car when you’ve got a gassed up helicopter ready to whisk you away at a moment’s notice?

In keeping with royal tradition, Meghan has been tight-lipped about the relationship, but many are taking her latest actions as indications that she’ll be moving in with Harry around Christmas.

Meghan covered Vanity Fair last month, and the interview marked the first time she’s spoken about her relationship publicly.

“I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time,” she told the magazine.

“This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”

So do the royal watchers of the world.

And it sounds like this love story is about to get even greater.
