Worst dressed: Malaika Arora, Shraddha Kapoor faltered on the fashion front with their unimpressive black and whites

You could question as to why we are back every week religiously to discuss who passed the fashion test and who didn't, but you will find that the answer lies in the question itself. Pardon the philosophy but policing (fashion-wise) is not an easy thing to do. No, it's not difficult to differentiate the 'Yay' from the 'Nay' and recognise a trend when we see one. But it is the job of digging the pile of Nay(s) that test our patience. Cause let's admit it, even with an entourage of people, B-town celebs go as wrong as they can when it comes to style. Of course, it's subjective but the good thing is that pop culture is not.

So, we are here to do the dirty job and you can thank us later. From Alia Bhatt to Shraddha Kapoor and from Malaika Arora to Sonakshi Sinha here are the ladies who failed to impress. Even Karisma Kapoor has fumbled her way in this week's worst-dressed list. Have a dekko!

Alia Bhatt

The best part about Alia Bhatt's wardrobe is that the actress dresses her age! She doesn't take herself seriously and it shows when she pushes the envelope and tries to experiment. Even when it comes to athleisure and comfort casuals, Alia is always her chic self. Except for this one time when she was spotted in a roomy buttoned dress by Lovebirds and it did nothing for her svelte figure! The only saving grace was the transparent strap sandals (we are choosing not to comment on the top bun).

Shraddha Kapoor

Shraddha Kapoor has just had a release, Saaho with none other than Prabhas and that meant a promotional spree of all sorts. And while most of her outfits did accentuate her innate style, this white corset shirt dress from the house of Danielle Guizio left a gaping hole in the same. On her style sheet. Again, the transparent Public Desire shoes are the only thing we want to look at.

Malaika Arora

We are usually the ones cheering from the front row whenever Malaika Arora decides to walk the ramp and off it. Which is why it hurt to see her in Kalmanovich's tassel version of the classic LBD. The big buckle at the waist is distracting us from her highlighter rimmed collar bones and you don't want that!

Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha does florals more often than not. And while we like the statements she makes with big and bold prints, there is a resistance when one tries to downplay it. Case in point, this floral co-ord set that also tries to sell on embroidery but alas, fails. Maybe if the skirt and top are styled with contrasting colours? Just thinking out loud.

Karisma Kapoor

Karisma Kapoor is an evergreen style icon and there are no two ways about that. But not every day is slay-day. And Lolo recently had one of those when she wore a Pankaj and Nidhi off-shoulder gown in bright yellow and we didn't feel the Belle vibes. Instead, it made her seem pale and dainty. We're still doing the princess act, is it? Cause, she's the queen!

What if it was my fault Leah had cancer? Is there something wrong with me? What if the baby has health issues as well? The pain of my past kept me mentally imprisoned for years. Until one day I got tired of the lies I was telling myself due to fear. So I broke free and said I’m going to just go for it.

We made rocking a baldy look good..well at least Leah did lol. Drop a ❤ if you would do anything for your kids. • • When I decided to cut my hair off, I didn’t know the impact it would have on the people who would soon follow our story. I only cut it because I didn’t want Leah to feel alone when the chemo would eventually make her hair fall out. So I want to give a shoutout to all the parents following me that are willing to sacrifice everything to see their kid smile. #itsgametime #tbt

Their new bundle of joy comes after several trials and tribulations. Five years ago, Leah was diagnosed with Stage 4 neuroblastoma. At the time, the athlete famously stepped away from the NFL to care for his little girl, but was resigned to the Cincinnati Bengals’ practice team so he could keep his health insurance for Leah’s cancer treatments.

Still opened up about becoming a dad again in an Instagram post this past May, getting candid about how he overcame his fears alongside a photo of his wife baring her baby bump.

“For 3 years I was so scared to bring another child into this world. What if it was my fault Leah had cancer? Is there something wrong with me? What if the baby has health issues as well? The pain of my past kept me mentally imprisoned for years. Until one day I got tired of the lies I was telling myself due to fear.”

Defending Champ Naomi Osaka, 21, Defeats Coco Gauff, 15, in U.S. Open Showdown

Two tennis prodigies faced off in a tournament for the first time in a historic match.

Naomi Osaka defeated Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-0 at the Arthur Ashe Stadium during the third round of the U.S. Open on Saturday evening.

“I just want to say, ‘You guys raised an amazing player. I remember seeing you guys training in the same place. I think Coco you’re amazing,’ ” Osaka tearfully said to Gauff’s parents in the stands.

Osaka’s stardom rose after defeating Serena Williams in last year’s Open final. Meanwhile, Gauff, who became the youngest female to advance to the third round in the Open since Anna Kournikova in 1996, first burst onto the scene at Wimbledon when she defeated Venus Williams. Gauff previously practiced with Osaka two years ago at the Miami Open.

“Obviously she’s an amazing player. She’s defending champion. She’s won two slams. She’s No. 1. She’s only 21. We’re both pretty young. But I’m a little bit newer to the game,” Gauff said, according to ESPN. “I just want to enjoy it, have fun, enjoy the battle. We’ll see how it goes.”

The match was also on the radar of Williams, whom both Gauff and Osaka have looked up to.

“I think it’s super exciting tennis,” she told Forbes. “Coco is obviously much, much younger than Naomi, if you could say that, because Naomi is incredibly young. But it’s shocking to say that Coco is about six years younger.”

Williams, 37, added, “I definitely think it’s the future of women’s tennis. And I’m really excited to just be a fangirl and kind of watch.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Returns to the Track for Xfinity Race After Surviving Plane Crash

For only the second time since retiring, Dale Earnhardt Jr. drove in a race at the Darlington Raceway on Saturday. The Xfinity Series Sport Clips Haircuts VFW 200 at Darlington Raceway came just two weeks after surviving a scary plane crash.

Earnhardt Jr., 44, drove the No. 8 Chevrolet car for JR Motorsports, which was painted in a tribute to his late father, Dale Earnhardt Sr., who won his first Cup Series with the car in 1975.

Earnhardt Jr. placed fifth with Cole Custer winning after Denny Hamlin was disqualified due to a failed post-race inspection.

https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js

Ahead of Saturday’s race, Earnhardt Jr. confirmed to fans that the injuries he suffered in the crash wouldn’t affect him driving at Darlington.

He said at the time, “I plan on driving still. My lower back is bruised up real bad. Lots of swelling and I just need that to go down and the pain to chill out. I been treating the area every day solely to get well to race. I have a plan B but hope not to use it.”

Earnhardt Jr. and his wife, Amy Earnhardt, and their young daughter, Isla Rose, were in the fiery plane crash in Tennessee on Aug. 15.

The crash occurred at the Elizabethton Municipal Airport in Elizabethton. “A Cessna Citation rolled off the end of Runway 24 and caught fire after landing at Elizabethton Municipal Airport in Tennessee at 3:40 p.m. today,” an FAA statement read, according to The Tennessean.

An Elizabethton Fire Department official told PEOPLE that Amy, 37, and Dale were transported to the hospital out of an abundance of caution and without serious injuries.

Later, Ralph Hicks, a senior investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board, said in a press conference that “the airplane basically bounced at least twice before coming down hard on the right main landing gear. The airplane continued down the runway off to the end, through a fence and it came to a stop on Highway 91.”

Wikipedia article of the day for September 1, 2019

The Wikipedia article of the day for September 1, 2019 is The Mummy Returns.
The Mummy is a 1999 American action horror film written and directed by Stephen Sommers and starring Brendan Fraser (pictured), Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Kevin J. O'Connor, and Arnold Vosloo. In this film, a loose remake of a film of the same name from 1932, adventurers accidentally awaken Imhotep, a high priest from Pharaoh Seti I's reign who has been cursed for eternity. Filming began in Marrakesh, Morocco, in May 1998; the crew had to endure dehydration, sandstorms, and snakes while filming in the Sahara. The visual effects were provided by Industrial Light & Magic, who blended film and computer-generated imagery to create the mummy. The film opened on May 7, 1999, and went on to gross $416 million worldwide. The box-office success led to two sequels, The Mummy Returns (2001) and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008), as well as an animated series, and a prequel, The Scorpion King. The film also inspired a roller coaster, Revenge of the Mummy, in three Universal Studios Theme Parks.

Billie Eilish, 17, Blasts Nylon Germany for Photoshopping Her Into Topless Cover: 'I Did Not Consent'

Billie Eilish has found a new bad guy.

The newly minted VMA-winner blasted Nylon Germany this week for posting a photoshopped picture of Eilish that she says she had no idea was going to be published.

In the since-deleted post, Eilish appears on what appears to be a digital cover for the publication. The photo shows Eilish’s likeness, but without any hair (or a shirt, though the photo is only of her shoulders and above) and with her skin appearing metallic.

While the picture no longer appears on Nylon Germany‘s Instagram, they have posted similar photos featuring German social media stars Lisa and Lena, calling their depiction in the caption “digital avatars.”

Eilish’s comments were captured by the Comments by Celebs account, and the “Bad Guy” singer didn’t hold back.

“what the f— is this s—,” Eilish began her comment, going on to list what she found wrong with the picture.

“1. i was never approached by nylon about this piece whatsoever. i did not know it was happening nor did anyone on my team,” she wrote. “2. this is not even a real picture of me. i had absolutely no creative input.”

What Eilish seemed to be most upset about was the fact that she was depicted without a shirt in the photo — and the singer pointed out that she’s still underage at 17.

“3. youre gonna make a picture of me shirtless?? thats not real?? at 17? and make it the cover???? even if the picture was supposed to look like some robot version of me… i did not consent in any way,” she said.

The kicker was the fact that Eilish appeared bald in the photo: “4. ANNNDDD YOU’RE GONNA REMOVE ALL MY FUCKIN HAIR? booooooooooo to you,” she added, topping off the comment with a middle finger emoji.

Nylon did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, and Nylon Germany could not be reached. However, the American branch of the magazine responded on Twitter, saying that they disagreed with the decision to “appropriate” Eilish’s image.

“Nylon America is a different company than Nylon Germany and we strongly disagree with their decision to appropriate Billie Eilish’s image without her consent. Nylon America is very sorry to Billie and her fans,” the magazine said.

“We love Billie and everything she stands for,” their statement added. “Her message to young women is important and we vow to continue to help spread it appropriately.”

Bebe Rexha Puts on Her Lipstick While Doing a Split in Black Thong: 'This Is What 30 Looks Like'

Bebe Rexha is celebrating her birthday in her birthday suit!

The singer, who turned 30 on Friday, shared a racy photo in honor of her milestone year, which shows her doing a split, wearing nothing but a black thong.

The star did the pose as she applied lipstick on a bathroom floor.

RELATED: Bebe Rexha Claps Back at Male Music Executive Who Told Her She’s ‘Too Old to Be Sexy’

Rexha opened up about the track and turning 30, telling PEOPLE on Thursday, “I was really scared to write a song, like, ‘Hey, I’m 30. I don’t care what anybody says.'”

“All my life, when I ask my mom’s friends, the thing was: ‘Don’t ask a woman her age.’ That’s what I was told all my life. I was talking to my friend, and I really wanted to write about the things I’m scared of, my insecurities, so that’s where it came from,” Rexha explained.

“The songs are a series of things I’m super insecure about: Will I end up being alone? The way that I look. Losing all my friends. Just a whole bunch of things that I’m insecure about that I’ve now made into songs. I’m a drama queen. I love drama.”

As for how she’s dealt with those insecurities, Rexha said, “I think it’s just talking to yourself in a certain way.”

“I can wake up one day and I might feel like s—. Like, I might eat something really bad … Last night I had Thai food and was super bloated. But I woke up and I worked out. I still felt like s— today, but you know what — it’s Madison Square Garden, it’s my birthday coming up, I’ve gotta not let myself get in my head.”

“Because what you feed yourself is what happens. If you’re just negative all day, that’s how your day’s gonna end up. Even if it’s the best day ever, you’re gonna still have that negative sheen over it,” Rexha continued.

“I just force myself to say nice things to myself and ignore the bad thoughts.”

Harper, best known for her role as Rhoda Morgenstern on The Mary Tyler Moore Showdied on Friday at the age of 80, PEOPLE confirms, after years of battling health issues including leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, lung cancer and brain cancer.

Her family confirmed to ABC7 that she died 10:06 a.m. The cause of death was not immediately known.

Although Harper’s health slowly began to deteriorate in the past several months, Cacciotti, 78, took it upon himself to ensure that his wife was as comfortable as possible in some of the final moments of her life.

Last month, Cacciotti revealed how doctors had advised that his wife be moved to hospice care amid her battle with cancer.

Despite their professional opinion, Cacciotti said he was not willing to listen to them because of how much he adored Harper and vowed to do what he deemed best for his wife.

“I have been told by doctors to put Val in Hospice care and I can’t and I won’t because of the amazing good deeds she has graced us with while she’s been here on earth,” he wrote in a Facebook post on July 23.

While the couple’s friend Deanna started a GoFundMe on Harper’s behalf over a month before her death, the page, which had raised over $66,100 from Harper’s friends, family, and beloved fans, was shut down after members of the entertainment industry stepped forward to help with Harper’s medical expenses.

“She did so much for so many people and once they heard what was happening, they all started coming forward,” Cacciotti told PEOPLE about the support he and Harper have received. “Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine it would happen like this. It’s really amazing.”

“I just didn’t want to put her into hospice care and now we’re going to be able to keep her here at home,” Cacciotti added. “She’s hanging in there. We have good days and we have tough days.”

The actress was diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in 2013, just four years after she beat lung cancer in 2009. The condition occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain, known as the meninges.

At the time of her diagnosis, doctors told her she only had three months to live, but Harper beat the odds and continued to live well beyond their expectations by six years.

Because of how unbelievably rare her story was, Cacciotti refused to give up on his wife.

“We will continue going forward as long as the powers above allow us, I will do my very best in making Val as comfortable as possible,” Cacciotti wrote in the July Facebook post. “There are two special ANGELS on this planet masquerading as humans who live and work together, that have made it possible to have all of Val’s needs taken care of.”

“For those of you who have been in this position, you will totally understand that ‘it’s hard letting go,’” he continued. “So as long as I’m able and capable, I’ll be where I belong right beside her.”

“Many, many thanks for your outpouring of kindness and support,” Cacciotti finished before signing the note with “Tony”.

Harper married Cacciotti, who who was her former fitness advisor, in 1987, nine years after she finalized her divorce with her first husband, actor Richard Schaal.

When she first met Cacciotti, Harper told PEOPLE in 1980, “I thought, ‘What a beautiful, giving teacher.’ Although I’m a feminist and think it’s terrific to call a man if you’re comfortable, I don’t do it. I don’t set my cap for a guy unless he makes the first move.”

They were together until the end and had a daughter, Christina. In 2000, when their daughter was 16, Harper told PEOPLE that the two “have a great relationship so far” — while her husband pointed out that Harper could be a mom even to strangers.

“She talks to everyone at the supermarket,” said Cacciotti, “listens to their problems and tries to solve them.”

In 2014 — one year after she was told she had as little as three months to live — Harper told PEOPLE she was at peace with her diagnosis.

“I’m ready. I’m ready to go,” she said. “Maybe that’s the secret. That I’m absolutely — I don’t want to, my God, I want to live to be 102. … But I am not banking on anything, really, because we shouldn’t. We don’t know what’s around the corner. I think you just take each day and get the best out of it and do what you can and have fun.”

Ed Asner Speaks Out After 'Great Friend' Valerie Harper's Death: 'Goodnight Beautiful'

Ed Asner is paying tribute to his late costar and “great friend,” Valerie Harper.

Following the sad news that Harper had died at the age of 80 following a long battle with cancer, Asner honored the actress in a touching statement obtained by PEOPLE.

“Valerie was a brilliant artist with a myriad of ideas on how to make the character more interesting; and was a fighter for those less fortunate,” said Asner, 89.

The actor also shared an emotional post on Twitter, where he called Harper “a beautiful woman, a wonderful actress, a great friend and with balls bigger than mine.”

Harper, who played one of TV’s most popular and enduring characters — the constantly dating, constantly dieting Rhoda Morgenstern — for nearly a decade starting in 1970, died Friday, PEOPLE confirmed.

The star died at 10:06 a.m., her family confirmed to ABC7. Her cause of death was not immediately known.

Harper had been battling a number of health issues over the past few years, including leptomeningeal carcinomatosis, lung cancer and brain cancer.

In late July, Asner shared a tweet honoring Harper, just two days after the actress’ husband Tony Cacciotti revealed that doctors had advised her to be moved to hospice care.

“My heart goes out to @ValerieHarper and her husband Tony,” Asner wrote. “I hope you feel my love coming at you like a tidal wave.”

Harper was diagnosed with leptomeningeal carcinomatosis in 2013, just four years after she beat lung cancer. The condition occurs when cancer cells spread into the fluid-filled membrane surrounding the brain, known as the meninges.

Jennifer Lopez Shows Off Her Pole Dancing Physique in a New Clip of Hustlers

Jennifer Lopez is showing off her pole dancing skills!

The actress, 50, stars as Ramona, the owner of a bustling strip club who teaches a new recruit, Destiny (Constance Wu), how to swing from a pole in a new clip of the upcoming movie.

“Front hook, ankle hook, knee hook,” Ramona begins, showing Destiny all the ways to grab on to the pole while swinging herself in the air. “You can do carousel, put your head back, come down. You can do Peter Pan, knee hook and just spin.”

Destiny is impressed, saying, “Jesus Christ.”

Along with knowing how to spin, Ramona tells Destiny she expects her to learn how to hold herself still in the air with a “tabletop” move.

“I can’t do that,” Destiny says, to which Ramona replies, “You can do that, you’re gonna do that.”

“What if you don’t have muscles to do that?” Destiny asks.

Ramona says, “You have muscles do to this, every girl has muscles to do this.”

Lopez revealed to Variety in a new interview that she almost turned down the role.

“We were supposed to do it last summer, and I had worked so much,” Lopez said. “I was like, ‘I have to stay home with my kids and Alex .”

RELATED: Jennifer Lopez Opens Up About Why Celebrating Her 50th Birthday Was So Important to Her

Fortunately for her fans, the film’s director Lorene Scafaria was able to persuade Lopez to stay with the project by postponing production.

Calling the shots about her own career is something Lopez has grown accustomed to over the years.

“I think I’m used to being the boss, which is a weird thing to say out loud,” she said, adding that while she “can be tough,” she’s “not a yeller or a screamer.”

“I’m firm,” she explained. “I think nobody likes to disappoint me, because I get very quiet. I’m also relentless. I don’t have hours.”

In fact, on days where she doesn’t have to stick to a set production schedule, Lopez shared she likes to stay up until 4 or 5 a.m., sleeping in until around 10 or 11 a.m.

“That’s a better schedule for me,” she said.

Lopez and Wu costar alongside Lili Reinhart, Keke Palmer, Lizzo, Cardi B and Julia Stiles.

Hustlers is in theaters Sept. 13.

Wikipedia article of the day for August 31, 2019

The Wikipedia article of the day for August 31, 2019 is Taxonomy of lemurs.
The history of the taxonomy of lemurs dates back to 1758 when Carl Linnaeus first classified them. Having undergone independent evolution on Madagascar, lemurs have displaced many other types of mammals, and approximately 70 to 100 species and subspecies are recognized today. They include the smallest primates in the world, and once included some of the largest. Currently living lemur species are divided into five families and 15 genera. Since the arrival of humans around 2000 years ago, lemurs have become restricted to 10% of the island, and many face extinction. The recent steep increase in species numbers is due to improved genetic analysis, a push to encourage the protection of isolated lemur populations, and the elevation of existing subspecies to full species status. Concerns over lemur conservation have also affected their taxonomy, since distinct species receive increased conservation attention.

Court Warns Fergie and Josh Duhamel of Dismissing Their Divorce Unless Documents Are Filed

Fergie and Josh Duhamel might remain married if they don’t act soon.

A California court warned the two their divorce case runs the risk of being dismissed if they don’t file court documents before their court hearing on Oct. 16, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE.

Reps for Fergie, 44, and Duhamel, 46, did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

The former couple have to file a declaration of disclosure before the court date, otherwise “the Court may dismiss your case for delay,” according to the documents.

However, if the two file the required documents, they don’t need to appear in court.

Fergie filed for divorce from Duhamel in May almost two years after the two announced their split.

They announced their separation after eight years of marriage in a joint statement to PEOPLE in September 2017.

“With absolute love and respect we decided to separate as a couple earlier this year,” the two said. “To give our family the best opportunity to adjust, we wanted to keep this a private matter before sharing it with the public.”

They added, “We are and will always be united in our support of each other and our family.”

Duhamel and Fergie share a 6-year-old son, Axl. They began dating in 2004 before getting engaged in 2007 and marrying in early 2009.

While the Transformers star and Fergie may no longer be together, the two have maintained a friendly relationship.

“Fergie and I had a great relationship. I love that girl and I always will. Unfortunately, we didn’t work. But I will always have her back and she is the mother of my baby,” he said while on the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shepard in December 2018.

Duane 'Dog' Chapman Says He’ll Watch His New Show Starring Late Wife Beth with Family

Duane “Dog” Chapman is continuing to lean on loved ones as he mourns the death of his beloved wife, Beth Chapman.

More than two months after her death, Beth will be making her final reality TV debut on WGN America’s Dog’s Most Wanted alongside husband Duane. And when she does, her family will be gathered together.

Speaking with PEOPLE Now this week, Duane, 66, said that he has not yet seen the upcoming series, which will follow Beth’s difficult cancer battle and begin his first chapter “without Beth.”

“I have not looked at none of these shows,” Duane said. “I looked at the first show a little bit, but at that time, I wasn’t able to handle it.”

“So when everyone sees it Wednesday, I get to see it. First time,” he said.

Looking ahead to the show’s premiere, Duane shared that he’ll be surrounded by loved ones when tuning in.

“I got kids, you know, so my kids are coming and my friends will be there, you know, my close friends,” he said. “We’ll all watch.”

He added, “I’ll probably go in and out of the room a lot, but yeah, I want to see it.”

RELATED: Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman Says Some of His Kids Are ‘Barely Making It’ After Beth’s Death

Beth died on June 26 at the age of 51 following her aggressive throat cancer diagnosis.

After Beth’s passing, the family honored her at a gathering with friends and fans at Fort DeRussy Beach in Waikiki, Hawaii, as well as at an emotional memorial service at the Heritage Christian Center in Aurora, Colorado.

While Duane is still struggling, he explained to PEOPLE Now that he’s found comfort in music, as well as “being not alone, with friends and family.”

“She had 30 million hits on her articles, that’s like unbelievable,” he said. “So that means a lot. Your fans keep you going, keep you alive, keep you happy, are your friends that you meet, so that helped her a lot too, with the battle. And now it’s helping me with this battle.”

Jersey Shore: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Says 'Making It Work' with Jen Harley Is 'Best for the Baby'

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro only wants what’s best for his child.

On Thursday’s episode of Jersey Shore: Family VacationRonnie returned from his 30-day stint in rehab with a new outlook on life — but he still hadn’t closed the door on his relationship with Jen Harley, mother to his 16-month-old daughter Ariana Sky.

“When I looked at myself before, there was shame, there was regret, there was resentment,” he said. “Me going to get help doesn’t mean that I beat this, I’m going to fight it every day for the rest of my life. At first it might be a struggle, but I’m going to make anything work for my daughter.”

Vinny Guadagnino and Pauly “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio were glad to see that Ronnie had turned a new page, but they still had serious concerns about his relationship with Jen. (The two have a well-documented history of alleged abuse on both sides.)

“First impression of Ronnie is it’s a new Ronnie. New spirit, new clothes, new teeth,” said Vinny. “Ronnie is in a good place. He looks good and he sounds good. Unfortunately, Jen is 50 percent of his problem, so he still has that addiction that he’s battling with.”

“Every time Ron and Jen are back together, I am disappointed about it,” he continued. “Because I know exactly where that’s going to lead: TMZ.”

RELATED: Why Jersey Shore‘s Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Checked Into Rehab — I Was ‘Tired of the Chaos in My Life’

And surprise, surprise — they did end up getting back together.

“Um, you know, it’s crazy, but right now me and Jen are together. Making it work is the best for the baby, but I also feel like it’s just best for each other,” Ronnie explained. “We keep fighting for something, so there’s got to be something there. And it’s not the baby, because people raise kids without each other all the time. So it’s got to be something deeper.”

They were also planning their daughter’s first birthday party, and Ronnie was excited for his roomies to see that he and Jen were getting along and putting their differences aside for the sake of the baby.

But there was one person he had to sit down with one-on-one before the festivities: Jenni “JWoww” Farley. Things had been tense between the two for months, and Jenni wasn’t happy with Ronnie for taking her estranged husband Rogers Mathews’ side by liking some of his Instagram posts about their ongoing divorce.

“Ronnie taking Roger’s side is the most hurtful part,” she said. “Know my side before you make a decision on what side you want to be on.”

They ended up hashing things out, and Ronnie promised to always have her back.

“Roger has always been good to me. But Jenni is my sister,” he explained. “She was going through some stuff, I was going through some stuff, and we just weren’t really helping each other and that’s what we should have been doing.”

“Ronnie is my brother, so I don’t want to be at odds with him,” added Jenni. “I love him to death. I just want him to be how he used to be.”

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation airs Thursdays (8 p.m. ET) on MTV.

His mother, 49, assured him she had seen the video, hilariously commenting, “Mom just found out😩😩😩😩.”

Dylan’s older brother, Cameron, showed the teen some support, writing in the comments, “🤘.”

Michael, 74, also shared Dylan’s video, writing, “No I wasn’t the Cameraman! @dylan__douglas.”

The college student has taken a shine to daredevil experiences, including jumping off of a rock while on vacation with friends earlier this month.

“So was that your first time skydiving? Why would you wait so long to skydive?” Ellen DeGeneres, 61, asked him.

“Probably because Liam said he wanted to do it,” Ford said, explaining it was his son’s “idea.”

As for whether Liam was interested in skydiving again, Ford revealed, “We’re talking about it,” before hilariously adding, “We’re not talking to his mother about it.”

Jersey Shore's Jenni 'JWoww' Farley Finalizes Divorce from Roger Mathews

Jenni “JWoww” Farley‘s divorce has been finalized.

Nearly one year after the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star, 34, filed for divorce from Roger Mathews, the pair’s marriage is officially over.

“Jenni and Roger have reached an amicable conclusion and finalized their divorce,” Farley’s rep said in a statement obtained by PEOPLE on Thursday. “They remain devoted to co-parenting their children in a happy and healthy environment and they both wish each other the best.”

Farley and Mathews have two children: son Greyson Valor, 3, and daughter Meilani Alexandra, 5.

After nearly three years of marriage, the MTV personality filed for divorce from Mathews on Sept. 12, 2018 according to New Jersey’s Asbury Park Press.

The duo tied the knot in October 2015 after nearly five years together in front of a group of family and friends that included her Jersey Shore castmates Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Pauly D, and Bachelorette alums Trista and Ryan Sutter.

The couple got engaged in September 2012 while filming their MTV Jersey Shore spin-off, Snooki & JWoww. They first began dating in 2010 after meeting in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, while Farley was filming the third season of Jersey Shore.

Though they continued to spend time together as a family after the divorce filing, even celebrating their three-year wedding anniversary in October, the relationship took a downward turn in December, when Farley filed for a restraining order against Mathews after the two got into an argument.

Farley and Mathews have since appeared to put any animosity behind them. They reunited to celebrate Easter with their kids and in May, Farley told PEOPLE she and Mathews were on good terms.

She has also moved on romantically and has been dating 24-year-old wrestler Zack Clayton Carpinello since April.

Earlier this week, Farley and Carpinello swiftly shut down rumors that they’re expecting a baby together after speculation was sparked when Farley attended the 2019 MTV VMAs wearing a fitted yellow dress. She was also seen resting her hand on her belly in certain shots.

RELATED: Jersey Shore: Jenni ‘JWoww’ Farley Says She’s Having ‘Lots of Sex’ with New Boyfriend

After a fan commented on one of Farley’s Instagram posts wondering if the reality star was “sneaky preggas,” Farley responded, “nope just a burger,” adding a couple of crying-tears-of-laughter emojis.

Carpinello, who attended the award show alongside Farley, also denied the rumors.

“Jenni is NOT pregnant,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “Stop being idiots.”

Brooks & Dunn Celebrate the Career They Never Thought Would Last: 'All You Gotta Do Is Do the Math'

When they first met back in 1990, Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn were two solo artists looking for a big break, not a performing partner. Somehow they found both in each other. But even after the duo earned back-to-back No. 1 singles by the end of the next year, Brooks says, he never thought they could last.

“Being as old as we were, 36 and 38 … there’s no way this career goes 20 years,” Brooks, now 64, told an audience at Nashville’s Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum on Saturday. “All you gotta do is do the math with that.”

Of course, as it turns out, there was other math that mattered more: 20 chart-toppers, 26 million in record sales, 28 ACM awards, 18 CMA awards and two Grammys.

A gobsmacking number of those trophies — six long rows of pretty, shiny things — are now on display at the museum in its exhibit, “Brooks & Dunn: The Kings of Neon,” newly opened this month. It arrives on the heels of an even bigger honor, election into the Country Music Hall of Fame (announced in March), as well as the April release of Reboot, a stellar collection of greatest-hits collaborations that’s their first studio album in 12 years.

On Saturday, the duo appeared at the museum, along with their longtime manager, Clarence Spalding, to reflect on their improbable career and reminisce about the ups and downs of their 29-year professional marriage.

Their matchmaker, music exec Tim DuBois, first put them together for a songwriting session, which turned into a recording session, which turned into magic. On the surface, they were an odd couple: Dunn was a lanky Texan who stood behind the microphone and let his supple voice do the work. Brooks was a live-wire Louisianan who threw himself into selling his songs.

Neither knew each other’s performance style until the first time they shared a stage at an early industry showcase.

Dunn, 66, recalled one pungent assessment after the show. “My wife said, ‘I remember seeing the look on your face when took off all over the place — pow, pow, pow, pow!” Dunn said, flinging his arms right and left. “‘And you’re still singing, looking at him, going, what the hell is this?’”

Brooks, meanwhile, was perplexed by Dunn’s stillness. “I thought maybe his boots were nailed down to the stage,” Brooks said.

Their differences turned out to be crucial to the duo’s synergy, and over the next two decades, they rode a tidal wave of popularity. Even after they hit a slump at the turn of the century, they hunkered down, delivered three more platinum-selling albums and transformed their concerts into must-see pyrotechnic circuses.

A sold-out farewell tour in 2010 seemed to herald permanent retirement, but both men knew they weren’t done yet. “We never said we weren’t ever going to do this anymore,” Brooks said, “but we did say we needed a break, and it was a good one for us.”

Since 2015, the duo has packed the Colosseum at Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace with pal Reba McEntire, and this past year, their manager, Spalding, coaxed them back into the studio for Reboot.

Spalding revealed that a chance encounter with then-newcomer Luke Combs sparked the idea for the album.

“He was so excited to tell me about riding to Florida as a kid and wearing the Brand New Man cassette out,” Spalding recalled. “And the only thing I can think of is, God, I wish were here right now to hear this young guy … telling the effect they had on his career.”

Further motivation was provided after the duo checked out web posts of Combs’ acoustic version of “Brand New Man” and Kacey Musgraves‘ “Neon Moon” (which Brooks described as “the LSD version”). Spalding started putting out calls to other younger artists.

“I think the longest I had to wait was maybe 30 minutes for somebody to call back,” he said. Combs, Musgraves, Thomas Rhett, Brothers Osborne, Midland, Kane Brown, Ashley McBryde — everyone — said yes.

The only hitch, Spalding revealed, came when Brown asked to collaborate on “Believe,” one of Dunn’s most vocally demanding songs.

“I just couldn’t wrap my head around it,” Spalding said, “and they couldn’t really, either. But we went along with it.”

After the recording session, Spalding took a phone call from Dunn, expecting to hear bad news. Dunn told him something else. “That kid,” he said, “has no idea how good he is.”

Looking ahead, both Brooks and Dunn are clearly happy to keep this new momentum going. They’ve already signed on for a couple dozen more Las Vegas dates next year, and Dunn hinted at some other “pretty substantial dates,” as well.

“Stay tuned,” Spalding teased.

Neither artist has any interest in slowing down.

“I think that innate hunger that drives you, when you’re on the creative plane, is probably always there,” Dunn said. “That’s something that you’ll never lose, whether you call it ambition or whatever. I think all high achievers … there’s some kind of little demon back there driving them to achieve.”

“You need to write a song, you need to write a song,” Brooks added in falsetto. “That little voice is always there.”

Brooks & Dunn: Kings of Neon” runs through July 19, 2020, at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

New Hampshire Mom Fighting to Keep Her Longtime Vanity License Plate That Reads 'PB4WEGO'

A New Hampshire mother is fighting the state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to keep her longtime vanity license plate after they had a disagreement about its appropriateness.

Wendy Auger, of Rochester, has had her customized car license plate, which reads “PB4WEGO” for 15 years, according to Seacoast Online.

The initials stand for the phrase “pee before we go” — something Auger claims is commonly said by parents before getting in the car with their children.

However, the New Hampshire Department of Motor Vehicles has recently asked Auger to turn in her plates due to the fact that the state prohibits phrases related to excretory acts.

“Who has a mom or dad or parental figure who hasn’t said that to kids before leaving the house?” Auger asked the outlet following the recall. “I’m not the type to sit here with a picket, but come on.”

Auger explained that she had wanted the “PB4WEGO” plate for several years and “jumped on it” when New Hampshire increased its plate character limit from six to seven.

The phrase was then displayed on her family’s minivan and according to Auger, often caught the attention of other motorists and passersby who honked out of enjoyment or asked to take photographs of the plate.

Though she considered getting rid of it when she bought a new car last year, Auger ultimately decided to keep it per the recommendation of a local DMV employee.

“It would just stink if I don’t have it anymore. If I have to take it off the plate, then I’m not going to be able to live free,” she told the outlet, referencing New Hampshire’s “Live Free or Die” state motto printed on their license plates.

Since receiving the recall, Auger has questioned why her plate was targeted, especially since she has never received any complaints about its content.

She also has plans to fight the DMV’s decision by filing an appeal over the matter, which she claims is an infringement on free speech, especially since she believes it’s not offensive, according to Seacoast Online.

Auger noted that an employee from the DMV has even offered to help her fight the recall, calling the request to turn in her plates “absurd”, the outlet reports.

Auger is one of 92 motorists in the state to receive vanity plate recalls this year as of last week, according to state records obtained by the outlet. The number is a stark contrast to the 111 total who were requested to turn in their plates in 2018.

In a statement to Seacoast Online, a spokesperson for the New Hampshire DMV explained that license plates are rejected “when they do not conform to legal requirements” set by the state legislature’s administrators.

The spokesperson also added that a plan is currently in place “to recall a plate should one be issued that should not have been,” but could not comment further on Auger’s case due to vehicle registrations being covered under state privacy laws.

At this time, it is unclear when the state plans on making a decision over Auger’s license plate.

Representatives at the New Hampshire Department of Safety and DMV did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Wikipedia article of the day for August 30, 2019

The Wikipedia article of the day for August 30, 2019 is Tropical Storm Faxai (2007).
Tropical Storm Faxai was a short-lived tropical storm that had minor effects on land. The twentieth named storm of the 2007 Pacific typhoon season, Faxai originated from a tropical depression over the open waters of the western Pacific Ocean in late October. The storm quickly strengthened, becoming a severe tropical storm on October 26 as it rapidly traveled towards the northeast. It became extratropical the following day as it brushed Japan. Although Faxai never made landfall, outer bands associated with the storm produced torrential rains, amounting to 458 mm (18.0 in) on Miyake-jima. A Japan Airlines flight to Narita Airport encountered severe turbulence during the afternoon of October 27; one person sustained serious injuries, five others received minor injuries, and the plane was damaged. One person was killed near Tokyo as the storm passed by, and three others were injured. The storm's remnants dissipated on October 28.
