David Beador to Shannon: Drop My Last Name... NOW!
Well, it turns out we were wrong:
The divorce between David Beador and Shannon Beador actually can get even uglier.
In a very specific way that you rarely hear about, in fact. Allow us to explain…
The Real Housewives of Orange County star announced her split from her husband of 17 years back in October.
From the outset of this confirmation, it was clear that extreme tension existed between Shannon and David, considering the swipe she took at him in alerting the world to their break-up.
This is what she said in a statement:
“It’s heartbreaking for me and my daughters that this is the road that had to be taken but it’s the only way.
“I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you have to have willing parties. You need two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn’t happening in our relationship.”
The reality stars share three children together: Sophie, 15, and twins Stella and Adeline, 12.
This statement was far from the end of the discord between the Beadors, however.
In a set of legal documents, David accused Shannon of heavily drinking and of keeping him from his kids, writing for the court to review:
“Shannon is not fostering or encouraging a healthy father child relationship…
“Shannon’s employment encourages excess drinking and extended travel to which Shannon has chosen not to inform me and make accommodations for the kids to stay with me while she is away.”
Yes, David actually blamed Shannon’s role on television for the trouble in their relationship.
But… WAIT! There was still more acrimony to come between the estranged spouses.
Specifically, Shannon has accused David of cheating on her. Often.
On the season premiere of The Real Housewives of Orange County this month, Tamra Judge told Shannon that she had met David’s new girlfriend all the way back in October — back when he was still married to Shannon.
WHOOPS!
Of course, this girlfriend, Lesley Cook has come out and said Tamra was simply lying; that she didn’t start sleeping with David until after the marriage was over.
Wherever the truth lies, David has once again upped the vicious ante between himself and the long-time Bravo star.
Featured this week on The Daily Dish podcast, Shannon stunned listeners when she said David has demanded that she stop using his last name.
“It’s been requested from my ex that I’m not worthy of the name Beador,” Shannon said during this interview.
That’s not something you often see, is it?
Will the 54-year old agree to this request?
“For the sake of my kids, I think I’m going to stay Shannon Beador,” she said.
It is perhaps worth noting, though, that Beador’s official Instagram handle remains @shannonbeador, but her headline now includes her full name: Shannon Storms Beador.
Wait… Storms is her maiden name???
We agree that David is out of line in asking her to stop Beader, but Shannon Storms?!?
What an awesome name.

Jinger Duggar Shares New Baby Pic, Inspiration Behind Daughter"s Name
Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo are brand new parents.
Just a week ago, the Counting On star welcomed her very first child into the world, a daughter named Felicity.
In the days since, Vuolo has made one thing very clear…
… having a small baby at home is tiring!
The new father shared a couple memes on Monday that joked (but not really) about how coffee is now his best friend and how he’ll never see sleep ever again.
Those made us laugh, but not Jinger is here to make us squeal in delight,
First, the reality star shared a fresh photo of her child, which we’ve gone ahead and also shared ourself above. She’s so very precious!
Second, she opened up at length to Us Weekly about various aspects of (very early) motherhood.
Before we get to that, however, a few relevant facts:
– Jinger and Jeremy got married in 2016.
– At 4:37 a.m. on July 19, the couple became parents to Felicity Nicole Vuolo.
– She was born in San Antonio, Texas.
– She weighed 8 lbs, 3 ounces at the time and measured 19.5 inches in length.
What have these first few days been like as a mother?
“It’s been so incredible,” Jinger explains to Us Weekly. “We can’t stop staring at her adorable little face!”
Sister Jessa Seewald and mother Michelle Duggar are currently in Texas to lend a hand to the parents, something for whih Jinger is grateful.
“I have been so thankful to have so much great help around me, giving me time to rest and recover,” she says.
And what about that baby name?
Was Felicity named after the former Keri Russell drama on The WB?
No.
It “just felt right,” Jinger says, adding that she and Jeremy “loved the name Felicity from the moment we thought of it several months ago.
“The name itself means intense happiness or supreme joy. It was also the name of a young Christian girl long ago who valiantly stood strong for her faith.”
Wow, who knew?!?
We love it.
Jinger also thinks that her child resembles her husband and has confirmed that the little girl’s nursey has a southwest theme.
Said Jeremy upon meeting Felicity last week:
“Both mom and baby are healthy, doing great, and resting well. We are very thankful for her safe arrival and look forward to life as parents!”
And, in this case, “God is gracious to entrust us with such a wonderful gift,” gushes Jinger.

Justin Bieber to Hailey Baldwin: I Never Want to Hear the Name Shawn Mendes Again!
As you’ve likely heard by now, Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin got engaged last week after just over a month of dating.
At first, it seemed impossible, but Bieber and Baldwin have confirmed the news by posting a series of loving tributes to one another on social media.
Of course, it’s not all sunshine and unicorns in Jusley’s world these days.
When a high-profile couple gets engaged after short a brief courtship, things can get messy.
One of the biggest problems, of course, is the fact that both parties are likely to have very recent exes.
And the more recent an ex, the more likely they are to be a source of drama.
Which may be why Justin is taking no chances.
According to Life & Style, Bieber has asked Baldwin to delete all traces of her ex-boyfriend Shawn Mendes from her social media accounts.
“Shawn is happy for Hailey and Justin and has said that he loves them both, but Justin isn’t taking any chances,” a source tells the tabloid.
“Justin wants to take his relationship with Hailey to the next level, but he can’t do that until he feels confident she isn’t pining for someone else.”
Seems like he already took care of getting to the next level by popping the question, but we guess the Biebs likes to be extremely thorough.
“Erasing every trace of Shawn on her social media was a way for Hailey to prove her loyalty,” the insider added.
“And she had no problem pressing delete.”
Rumors about Bieber “forcing” Baldwin to delete Mendes from her life have been circulating for weeks.
In a twist that no one saw coming, it seems that those reports are accurate, and Justin has absolutely no shame about issuing the demand.
As for that other famous in this scenario, sources say Selena Gomez is glad to be rid of Justin for good.
She apparently harbors no ill will toward Baldwin, but instead feels sympathy for the 21-year-old model.
If the Jelena relationship is any indication, Gomez is right to feel bad for Hailey.
The girl may be in for quite a wild ride.

Joanna Gaines Reveals Baby"s Name, Photo... and More!
He’s here, folks!
Yes, we wrote HE.
A day after Chip Gaines announced to the world that his wife had given birth to the beloved couple’s fifth child, his wife Joanna jumped on Twitter to provide a few key updates about this bundle of joy.
First, see the above pronoun: the HGTV stars are now parents to a little boy.
Second, Joanna revealed the boy’s name in her first Twitter post since this miraculous development.
“Our baby boy, Crew Gaines, is here & we couldn’t be more in love,” she wrote, expounding as follows:
“He made an unexpected (and speedy) entrance into the world two and a half weeks early – which is fitting given he was a sweet surprise from day one.
“Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We are so grateful.”
We’re glad everyone is doing okay after such an early birth.
And we’re glad to have a few photos from the big day, starting with this look at the newborn:
“And then there were 5,” Chip had written on Saturday in regard to this news, adding on Twitter:
“The Gaines crew is now 1 stronger! 10 beautiful toes and 10 beautiful fingers all accounted for, and big momma is doing great!”
Joanna, meanwhile, shared numerous images from the day Crew entered the world, joining siblings Emmie Kay, 8, Duke, 9, Ella, 11, and Drake, 13 in the process.
She labeled this one her “favorite.”
One of my favorite pics a friend showed me after Crew was born. They couldn’t wait to meet their new baby brother, said Joanna of this sweet snapshot.
Chip and Joanna confirmed late last year that Season 5 of Fixer Upper would be the show’s last.
A few weeks later, they helped explain why by sharing Joanna’s pregnancy with their followers.
Ever since, the reality stars have kept social media followers well apprised of her baby bump status and their journey in general.
That clearly won’t be changing any time soon, as Joanna also posted the following beautiful image of her and Chip in the hospital:
“CONGRATS 2 u and Chips & the other 4 kiddos—May “CREATOR”–GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALLL IN THE PALM OF “HIS” LOVING ARMS!! BLSSINGS My favorite fixer-upper!!” wrote one Twitter in response to Joanna’s photographic update.
“Now THAT is too dang adorable and precious,” added another.
Joanna works as a home designer and Chip a home renovator, but the former is also an author and the couple also owns a restaurant and has its hand in other business ventures related to these industries.
They’ve grown in fame due mostly to their humor and chemistry as a couple.
To conclude her update, Joanna published this picture down below.
It pretty much says it all, doesn’t it?
Crew is the couple’s first son who hasn’t been given a name that starts with the letter D.
We don’t know why they broke from tradition, but they must have been thinking differently overall in this case.
Only 339 boys in the entire United States were named Crew last year.
Please join us in sending your heartfelt congratulations to Chip, Joanna and the whole Gaines family!

IHOP Reveals Name Change, Angers the Internet
For once, IHOP is not here to give you an immediate heart attack from a menu that occasionally mixes in some breakfast food underneath gobs of whipped cream and chocolate.
Instead, IHOP is here to rock your world.
The long-running franchise has announced on Twitter that it is changing its name to IHOb on June 11, stunning Internet users and causing them two ask two basic questions:
- What does the b stand for?
- What the heck is wrong with you, IHOP?!?!?
The restaurant says it won"t answer that first question for a few days, while social media folks continue to ask the second one.
Scroll down for a look at IHOP"s shocking Tweet, the poll it is running in relation to it — and to read what people are saying about this impending change.
(UPDATE: Scroll to the end of this gallery to find out what IHOb actually stands for!)
1. This is Happening, People
All this uproar started after a single Tweet from the official IHOP account, which has 320,000 followers.
2. So… What Will It Be?
Biscuits? Bacon? Butternut Squad? Barnacles? Will the “B” stand for any of these things?
3. Burritos, Definitely!
We doubt this is it, but we would absolutely eat at the International House of Burritos.
4. Gotta Be Burgers, Right?
Go run and hide, Five Guys. You’ve got some major competition coming… some people think.
5. No Way: It’s Bacon!
Bacon may be the most universally beloved foot on the planet, this much is true.
6. This is a Bad Idea
It doesn’t matter if you love burgers or bacon, this is just a dumb example of re-branding… some are saying.

Kim Kardashian Goes OFF on Rhymefest: Keep Kanye"s Name Out of Your Mouth!!
Kanye West’s outlandish statements and worrisome behavior, form his outspoken Trump support to his blaming black people for slavery, continue to have consequences.
This time, Rhymefest put out a statement for a charity in Kanye’s mother’s name, distancing the organization from Kanye’s MAGA views.
Kim Kardashian took to Twitter in a fury, putting Rhymefest on blast and vowing to take that charity out from under him.
Che Smith is better known by his stage name, Rhymefest.
He is an American hip hop artist, an award-winning songwriter, and a philanthropist. He is also a politician from Chicago.
He is cofounder of Donda’s House, a charity named after Dr. Donda West, Kanye’s late mother. As Snoop Dogg recently alluded, she passed away just over a decade ago.
Recently, Donda’s House put out a statement imploring people upset by Kanye’s Trump-support and other outlandish statements that they do not share his views.
“While we cannot and do not speak for Kanye West and his views, we can and will speak up for the youth that we serve.”
“We ask that as you boycott and protest Kanye West, that you not forget that we are a non-profit organization that like other non-profits needs donations, corporate support, and volunteers”
“We do not want your rejection of Kanye West, to be a rejection of Dr. Donda West and the thousands of lives she impacted including her own son.”
The non-profit also accused Kanye of having not provided them with the desired financial support, despite alleged agreements to do so.
Kim sent out a series of angry tweets on Saturday in response.
“U haven’t been right since u got kicked out of the studio in Hawaii wearing fake Yeezy’s @RHYMEFEST.”
Hey, even fake Yeezys are closer to the real thing than plenty of people are willing to wear.
“You’re over [leveraging] Kanye’s name & asked Kanye to donate money to u so stop w your fake community politics & lies. Truth is you haven’t been able to sustain the foundation.”
That’s quite the claim.
“I saw you at our studio a few weeks ago so why didn’t you bring this up then @RHYMEFEST ? You were trying to get Kanye to listen to your sub par beats. You have the audacity to use Kanye’s mom name to try to shed a negative light on Kanye.”
Some, Snoop Dogg included, have suggested in recent days that Kanye’s behavior would be better if his mother were still alive to talk sense into him.
“You didn’t say this when Kanye paid you up front then you disappeared during Pablo #RealFriends @RHYMEFEST.”
Some would point out since Kanye has been accused of borrowing massive amounts of money from Jay-Z, this isn’t the best angle of attack.
“F–k i spelled leveraging wrong. Typing while pissed will do this to you.”
That is very relatable.
“You better believe I will make it my mission to take Donda’s House from you and let my children run it the way it should be run! @RHYMEFEST”
That’s quite a vow. But, to her credit, she’s talking about handing it over to Dr. Donda West’s grandchildren rather than taking it for herself.
“Oh and lastly your flight cancelled to Wyoming. You thought you were really worthy to be on this album.”
Kim concluded her roast with an “apology” to her followers that was really just shade.
“Sorry to all of my followers for flooding my timeline I know you have no idea who Rhymefest is.”
Rhymefest replied on Twitter, posting a full letter..
“Hey @KimKardashian good to hear from you. Here’s my response.”
We’ll give you the highlights.
He starts by explaining her attempted callouts about his presence at the studio and such. And then he gets personal.
“How can you criticize an organization that you’ve never physically been to OR that you’ve never even talked to the Executive Director or any of the team?”
Oooh.
He points out that, unlike Kim, he actually knew and had a relationship with Kanye’s mother.
“I actually knew and was mentored by Dr. Donda West personally and have met with and spoken to hundreds of her students and mentees who not only support the work that we are doing in Chicago, but compel it.”
He suggests that Kim is not getting the whole story of alleged broken promises that Kanye has made.
“At this point, if you and Kanye want us to dissolve the organization so that you can do the work, we welcome that.”
The way that he sees it, that would just mean more organizations helping young people.
“As we will continue from our home on the South Side of Chicago, to do what we can to support the community we’ve worked 5 years to build in spite of you & Kanye’s lack of interest or support.”
Oh dang.
At the end, he writes that he awaits her decision, and:
“Our community will be okay, regardless.”

Prince Louis: What"s Behind William and Kate Middleton"s Baby Name?
Earlier this week, Prince William and Kate Middleton introduced their third child to the world.
But early on Friday, Prince William and Kate Middleton truly introduced their child to the world.
Because now that child has a name!
Indeed, the newborn pictured above is SO gosh darn cute!
But he’s also named Louis Arthur Charles, we can now confirm, courtesy of a Tweet today from Kensington Palace.
To be exact (and formal), he’ll be called “His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge.”
It’s better than True, Stormi or Chicago, right?
But from where did this name come? Why did William and Kate go with Louis as their son’s first name?
For starters, a multitude of British royal family members have used the moniker as a middle name, including William himself (whose full name is William Arthur Philip Louis), and also big brother Prince George (whose full name is George Alexander Louis).
Louis also happens to be the middle name of Queen Elizabeth II’s youngest child, Prince Edward (otherwise known as Edward Antony Richard Louis).
In all likelihood, this is who the name is meant to honor.
Philip’s grandfather was Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg.
The name holds significant meaning to William’s own father, too, Prince Charles, whose great-uncle and mentor, Earl Louis Mountbatten, was actually killed by the IRA in 1979.
For what it’s also worth, notes CNN, Louis stems from the name Ludwig, which can be interpreted as “renowned warrior.”
That’s a pretty nice term/noun to be affiliated with, no?
“Louis is obviously a favorite name and an indirect nod to the Duke of Edinburgh and his side of the family,” Joe Little, managing editor of Majesty magazine, tells People, adding:
“I did think that Philip might have appeared in there somewhere.”
So did we. Alas.
As for Arthur and Charles?
Both names are shared by the baby’s grandfather, whose full name is Charles Philip Arthur George.
Here, once again, William shares Arthur as a middle name.
Moreover, Charles is a middle name of the child’s uncle Prince Harry, whose full name is Henry Charles Albert David.
There’s a lot to consider here, people. Many Royals across many generations come into play.
The important thing overall right now, of course, is that the baby is doing well.
Now that they are back home in Kensington Palace with their new baby boy, Prince William and Kate Middleton have started life as a family of five.
It’s all worked out so well for them.
“It completes them,” royal biographer Ingrid Seward tells People in this week’s cover story.
Elsewhere, a friend of the couple notes that Middleton “is one of three siblings, and it’s a good family size. Boy-girl-boy is pretty cool as well.”
We agree!
Congrats to everyone involved!
Kate Middleton and Prince William Announce Name of Baby Boy
Kate Middleton and Prince William’s third child has a name fit for a king … Louis Arthur Charles! As we reported … Kate gave birth to her baby Monday at St. Mary’s Hospital in London. As is tradition, the Town Crier announced the birth from…
