Danny Amendola writes, deletes another Instagram post about ex Olivia Culpo
One day after posting and deleting a lengthy rant about his off-and-on relationship with model Olivia Culpo, 26, NFL star Danny Amendola returned to the social media platform to try to explain himself — then deleted that too.

"What I meant to say yesterday was that the media and general public have no idea what goes on behind closed doors. I don't participate in fake intangibles that consume the public eye. I'm a private, single guy and if everyone's happy — I'm happy," Danny wrote, as reported by Page Six.
Danny, 33, who now plays for the Detroit Lions, added, "It's not fun seeing your name attached to a click-bait headline story that is completely fabricated bulls—… so when I saw this love triangle gossip I tried to clear the air." He also said, per Page Six, that he'd "take blame for the miscommunication! Good vibes only from me! ALL LOVE always."

But then he posted another Instagram pic and caption — and deleted it on the morning of April 22 — and this one, like his original (which can be seen on BarstoolSports.com), was seemingly laced with shade as well: "Fake people have an image to maintain. The real ones jus don't care," Danny wrote.
The internet went wild when Danny's former Patriots teammate Julian Edelman, replied in the comments with some advice for Danny, Page Six added: "Get off Instagram please … thanks," Julian wrote.
Danny's "fake people" post came off as pretty pointed because in his original message, he called out Olivia because she, he said, "chooses and wants to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money." According to Danny, "I believe there should be a boundary btw private life and social media. Olivia believes in fishbowl lifestyle. This fundamental different was huge in our relationship." He claimed he's deeply private and only plays football for the "RESPECT."
Yet Danny's missive seemed to prove otherwise, as he revealed some deeply personal details to his 646 million Instagram followers including that he and the former Miss Universe (and Nick Jonas ex), who dated on and off from 2016 to 2018, fought a lot while they were together. Though he claimed he was often to blame because "I can be an idiot," he also insisted that Olivia is "f—ed up too!"

Danny also sparked headlines because in his original rant, he brought up their "crazy" sex life and seemingly attacked DJ Zedd, 29, to whom Olivia was romantically linked earlier in the week when she was filmed with him at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. "…the only thing I care about is her HAPPINESS. And if that's dancing with [scrawny] little f—s, so be it. I'm happy too," Danny wrote.

Nipsey Hussle's girlfriend gets emotional about rapper on Easter
Nipsey Hussle's longtime girlfriend Lauren London was grieving a little extra on Easter Sunday.
Less than two weeks after speaking at his funeral, the actress posted a photo of her and her slain boyfriend from an award's show red carpet. Lauren and Nipsey look lovingly at each other in the image.
"Missing you," she captioned the black-and-white image.
Many of Lauren and Nipsey's celebrity friends commented on the photo with praying hands or heart emojis.
"Sending you so much love and light, sis," Lena Waithe wrote.

Nipsey was murdered in broad daylight outside his Marathon Clothing store in the Hyde Park section of Los Angeles on March 31.
On April 2, police arrested Eric Holder for the alleged shooting. Eric has pleaded not guilty to murder. Police said the suspect and Nipsey had a personal dispute.
After Nipsey's death, candlelight vigils popped up around the world and many celebrities and athletes paid tribute to the Grammy-nominated artist.

At a highly-publicized memorial at the Staples Center in front of 21,000 people, Lauren called Nipsey, real name Ermias Asghedom, the "love of my life."
"My pain is from a 2-year-old that probably won't remember how much his dad loved him," she said. "This is something that I don't really understand but I know Ermias always used to say that you can't possess people; that you experience them. I'm so honored and blessed to experience such a man."
A few days after Nipsey's death, Lauren got his face tattooed on her arm along with the words "God will rise." Nipsey had those same words tattooed next to his right eye.
"Real Love Never Dies," she captioned the Instagram picture. "When you see me, you will always see him."
Khloe Kardashian claps back after fan criticizes unicorn pic with daughter True
Khloe Kardashian clapped back at a fan who criticized a majestic image she posted of herself with her daughter True on an inflatable unicorn.
The image, posted Saturday, shows the reality TV star and her 1-year-old daughter wading in the pool on a pink unicorn floatie. Khloe, who donned a hot pink bikini, captioned the photo with a simple unicorn emoji. The background of the image appeared to be blurred, which drew criticism from one fan.
"What was the point of you taking a picture on that with that nice background if you were gonna blur it out? make it make sense," the user said. Khloe responded that the reason was "to protect our privacy."
She added, "I still know how beautiful it is love. Happy Saturday boo."
Many of Khloe's friends approved of the image. LaLa Anthony commented, "Well damnnnnnn." Mindy Kaling said the picture was "the best." Model Shanina Shaik noted that Khloe and True were "goals."

True was naturally on Khloe's mind on Sunday, as well, as she showered her little one with Easter presents, all of which the "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star posted to her Instagram Story.

"Happy Easter, mama, get your stuff," Khloe said in a video of True sitting next to her fresh haul of goodies.
Khloe later posted a video from Kanye West's "Sunday Service" show at Coachella.
Michelle Branch marries Black Keys rocker in New Orleans
Michelle Branch has gotten hitched!
The singer married Patrick Carney of The Black Keys in New Orleans on Saturday.
After People magazine reported the news, Michelle posted a screenshot of the magazine's notification about the nuptials. "Can confirm," she wrote alongside the image.
Michelle and Patrick share a 7-month-old son named Rhys.
Friends of the couple posted several videos and photos from the wedding at Marigny Opera House. Among the guests at the wedding was Michelle's 13-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.
One video showed Michelle walking down the aisle while a chorus sang Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling in Love."
A day prior to the wedding, Michelle posted a photo to Instagram kissing her now-husband.
"Love is in the air (and tequila after champagne was a bad idea)," the singer-songwriter wrote.
Michelle, 35, and the rocker, 39, first met at a Grammys party in Los Angeles in February 2015. They later coproduced her album "Hopeless Romantic."

"I'd never had someone who was that supportive," Michelle told People of her relationship in 2017. "He's an amazing, amazing human. We both just jumped in with both feet."
This is Michelle's second marriage and Patrick's third.
'Saved By The Bell' cast reunites 30 years after show premiered
Bayside High School never looked better.
On Saturday, Mark-Paul Gosselaar posted an epic picture to Instagram of himself reuniting with many of his "Saved By The Bell" costars — Mario Lopez, Tiffani Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley — as well as their significant others.
"This is what 30+ years of friendship looks like…," Mark captioned the snap of the group at dinner at Petit Trois Le Valley in Los Angeles.
Mario, who played AC Slater on the sitcom, posted the same photo, writing, "Friends forever."
He later posted a video from the table and joked about who was paying for the bill.
"Fun dinner tonight with some old friends," Mario said. "We ate an obscene amount of food. Great group right here, now it's time to play credit card roulette for the bill."
Elizabeth, who starred as Jessie Spano, said, "FRIENDS FOREVER #spousestoo!!!#imsoexcited#buddybands #love #friends #family#life #magic."
Dustin Diamond, Lark Voorhies, and Dennis Haskins, who also starred in the beloved show, were not at the dinner.

So, who ended up paying the bill? Maybe Mario!
"Thanks for taking care of the bill!," Mark laughingly commented on Mario's photo.
Eminem celebrates 11 years of sobriety
Eminem has reason to boast — he's now been sober for over a decade.
The rapper took to Instagram on Saturday to post a photo of a medallion he received for being 11 years sober.
"11 years – still not afraid," he captioned the picture of the medallion, which is stamped with "XI," the roman numeral of 11. It also contains the words Unity," "Service" and "Recovery."
Eminem has been very open about his drug usage in the past.
"I used to get pills wherever I could," he told the New York Times in 2011. "I was just taking anything that anybody was giving to me."

He now focuses on fitness over addiction.
"When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober," the rapper told Men's Journal in 2015. "Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping. So I started running. It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect."
Last year, Eminem posted a similar image to indicate he was 10 years sober.
"Celebrated my 10 years yesterday," he said.
Jussie Smollett has allegedly been suffering from 'night terrors'
Jussie Smollett's brother says the "Empire" star has been suffering from "night terrors" in the aftermath of his alleged assault.

In an essay for BET, Jojo Smollett writes, "Jussie is as strong as iron, but following an attack like this, there is a normal and natural amount of post trauma that mostly anyone should expect to suffer. I have literally seen him violently awakening from night terrors, following the assault. Some of my siblings, as well as Jussie's partner and closest friends have seen similar things."
Jojo said claims that his brother "staged" the late night attack in Chicago are "ludicrous" and blasted the "bandwagon" who believe that the attack was planned.
He continued, "I am simply hoping there are some conscious-minded people out there who, instead of carelessly victim blaming and shaming, want to loudly ask the simple question: 'What if Jussie is telling the truth?'"

On March 26, the criminal case against Jussie — for allegedly lying to police about an alleged racial and homophobic attack — was dropped. He was facing 16 felonies, to which he previously pleaded not guilty.
The same day that BET published Jojo's essay, a spokesperson for Jussie told the Chicago Sun-Times that the actor was doing "pretty well."
"He is focusing on his work here in L.A.," the spokesperson added. "But he understands many people still have doubts. But he hopes once all the information comes out, he will be vindicated in the minds of the public."
Kim Kardashian receiving award from leading law organization
Kim Kardashian West and her attorney, Shawn Holley, are being praised by a leading legal organization, and they're about to receive an award for their work in prison reform.
According to TMZ, the two will receive the Women Leadership in Law Award at a conference in Beverly Hills next month for their work in getting Alice Johnson freed from prison last year. The conference is sponsored by The California Lawyer and the Daily Journal.
"You both are truly inspirational, and your work has been life-changing," one of the officers from the organization wrote of the duo while announcing the news.

Last year, Kim and Shawn worked tirelessly to free Alice, a great-grandmother who was incarcerated in October 1996 for a first-time nonviolent drug offense after she helped facilitate communications in a drug trafficking case.
On May 30, Kim scored a White House meeting with Donald Trump to discuss Alice's case. The meeting lit a fire under Kim, and she decided she wants to pursue a career in law.
The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star told Vogue last week that she's actively studying to become a lawyer and plans to take the bar exam in 2022. In fact, last summer she began a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco.
"I had to think long and hard about this," she said of her decision to pursue law.

In recalling her meeting with Trump, Kim said, "I'm sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, s—. I need to know more."
She continued, "I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It's never one person who gets things done; it's always a collective of people, and I've always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more."
Kim Kardashian studying to be a lawyer, plans to take bar exam
Kim Kardashian West is looking to tap into the pre-reality show family business: she wants to become an attorney.
The "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" star told Vogue that she's actively studying to become a lawyer and plans to take the bar exam in 2022. In fact, last summer she began a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco.

Kim's father, Robert Kardashian, was a top notch attorney in Los Angeles and was on O.J. Simpson's so-called "Dream Team" of lawyers when he stood trial for the murders of his wife and her friend.
Kim's desire to become a lawyer stemmed from her much-publicized help in freeing Alice Marie Johnson from prison last year. Prior to Alice's freedom, Kim met with President Trump to discuss Alice and prison reform.
"I had to think long and hard about this," she says of her decision to pursue law.
In recalling her meeting with Trump, Kim said, "I'm sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentenced criminals and a lot of really powerful people and I just sat there, like, Oh, s—. I need to know more."
She continued, "I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case. It's never one person who gets things done; it's always a collective of people, and I've always known my role, but I just felt like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society. I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more."
Kim has been told in the past by her own attorneys that she has what it takes to become a lawyer.
The mother of three, by the way, is not planning to attend law school, and hopeful attorneys are not required to go to law school prior to taking the bar exam, although it is strongly suggested.

Kim has one prominent supporter in her ranks in the form of CNN commentator and activist Van Jones, who was in the Oval Office with Kim last May when she argued for Alice's clemency.
"Kim Kardashian wound up playing this indispensable role," Van told Vogue, stating Trump was very nervous about releasing convicted felons. "I watched Kim Kardashian unleash the most effective, emotionally intelligent intervention that I've ever seen in American politics."

"Kim understood that he needs to be seen as taking on the system, and she helped him to see that there are people who the system was against and that his job was to go and help them," Van continued. "And it was remarkable. So for people who have fallen for this media caricature of the party girl from ten years ago who hangs out with Paris Hilton? This is the daughter of an accomplished attorney and the mother of three black kids who is using her full power to make a difference on a tough issue and is shockingly good at it."
Director John Singleton hospitalized following stroke
Legendary director John Singleton has been hospitalized after suffering a stroke, but he's under "great medical care," his family said in a statement.
The stroke was reportedly "mild."

According to TMZ, the "2 Fast 2 Furious" director checked himself in earlier this week after experiencing weakness in his leg. John had been in Costa Rica and there is some belief that the flight back to the United States may have triggered the medical emergency.
The doctors are now performing tests, and John is doing rehab.
The director's family released a statement, reading, "On Wednesday, April 17th our beloved son/father, John Singleton, suffered a stroke while at the hospital. John is currently in the ICU and under great medical care. We ask that privacy be given to him and our family at this time and appreciate all of the prayers that have been pouring in from his fans, friends and colleagues."
The news prompted friend Snoop Dogg to post a photo of himself and John to Instagram.
"Pray 4 my brother," Snoop wrote in the caption.
Other celebrities took to social media to voice their support.
"Pull thru brother! The world needs your voice and vision. Prayers up for your family as well," Omar Epps tweeted Saturday morning.
Nic Long wrote, "Praying hard this morning for my friend @johnsingleton PULL THROUGH BABY."

John's Hollywood credentials are impressive, to say the least. He was nominated for two Academy Awards — Best Director and Best Original Screenplay — for "Boyz n the Hood" in 1991. He's still the youngest filmmaker to get nominations in the two categories.
He also directed the acclaimed shows "The People vs. OJ Simpson: American Crime Story," "Empire" and "Billions." John has been using his notoriety and credentials to try to further the industry, as he has been teaching a Film and Culture course at the University of Southern California.
The Internet is going crazy over Andy Cohen's throwback pic
Bravo, Andy Cohen, bravo!
The "Watch What Happens Now" host shut down the Internet on Friday after posting a throwback image of himself in Greece in 1992 while rocking a ponytail and, yes, a Speedo.
"Mykonos, pre-Lohan Beach Club!," he captioned the amazing image, adding the hashtags "90s fashion" and "get the look."
Andy's look sparked a slew of hilarious responses from his famous friends.
"Once you go Greek…," John Stamos said. "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"s star Lisa Rinna called him "Big daddy!"
Actress and comedian Amy Sedaris said he looked like a, "Grecian delite."
Other "Housewives" stars and alums commented with fire and heart-eye emojis.
"That speedo doh," Meghan Edmonds noted with several emojis to indicate her amusement.

One day prior to his attention-grabbing image, Andy opened up to Jimmy Fallon about being a first-time father to son, Benjamin.
"I worry that I'm going to squeeze him too hard," Andy said, noting that the "journey" has been "great."
There have been some hiccups.
"There was also a stroller situation. I was putting him in the Baby Bjorn at first," Andy told Jimmy. "This stroller was sitting there kind of taunting me in the corner of the room. I was kind of freaked out about the stroller. I thought I'm going to look so weird pushing a stroller… it just seemed odd to me."

'Pretty Little Liars' star comes out as bisexual
"Pretty Little Liars" star Tyler Blackburn can come out as bisexual.
In a new interview with The Advocate, the actor said, "I'm queer. I've identified as bisexual since a teenager. I just want to feel powerful in my own skin, and my own mind, and in my own heart."
Matt Baron/REX/Shutterstock
He continued, "I heard so many things from within the queer community about bisexuality being a cop-out or bullshit or the easy way out or something, and that always stuck with me because I felt the pressure from all sides to have [my sexuality] figured out and I think for the longest time, I suppressed more of my attraction to men. It wasn't until my late 20s, towards the end of 'Pretty Little Liars,' that I really allowed myself to go there and not just wonder about it or lust over it, but experience that vulnerability and experience the emotional aspect of what it is to be bisexual."
Tyler currently stars as a gay war veteran and amputee on CW's "Roswell, New Mexico." His character hits close to home.
"I knew this guy in and out," he said. "I understood feeling oppressed. I understood having issues with my father [wanting to feel] accepted by him. I understood wanting something but being afraid to have it. I understood self-doubt."
MediaPunch/REX/Shutterstock
The 32-year-old said he's coming out because he wants to be himself.
"I just want to live my truth and feel OK with experiencing love and experiencing self-love," he said. "Yes, there is an element of, I want to feel like it's OK to hold my boyfriend's hand as I'm walking down the street, and not worry. Is someone going to look and be like, 'Whoa, is that guy from that show? I didn't know that [he was queer.]' I want to own my space now."
Week in celebrity photos for April 15-19
Kevin Hunter's name removed from Wendy Williams' show credits
Wendy Williams is erasing all traces of her estranged husband, Kevin Hunter, on her eponymous TV show.
Since "The Wendy Williams Show" began in 2008, Kevin was listed as an executive producer of the show. On Friday, though, his name was absent, and Wendy's name was the only one listed in the show's credits.

This name disappearances shouldn't come as a surprise, since it was announced earlier this week that, amid their divorce, Kevin was no longer affiliated with the daytime show. Earlier in the week, The Blast said Kevin is negotiating a huge settlement in his divorce from Wendy that also includes a severance package for leaving the TV show.
On April 11, Wendy filed for divorce from her husband of nearly 22 years.
Prior to the split, there had been rumors of infidelity and unconfirmed reports that Kevin fathered a child with another woman.

Earlier in the week, Kevin released a statement and took "full accountability" for his actions.
"I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans," he said. "I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs."
Wendy, according to reports, has moved out of the home she and Kevin shared and is looking for a new home in New York City.
Chip Gaines and son surprise Joanna on 41st birthday
Joanna Gaines' 41st birthday began in the cutest way possible, thanks to her husband and 9-month-old son, Crew.
On Friday, the former "Fixer Upper" star posted an adorable photo of Crew sitting on the couch.
"Crew is ready to surprise @joannagaines with breakfast in bed," he captioned the snap, "happy birthday Joanna! #AkaMom."
Although the handy couple is no longer starring on "Fixer Upper," they recently announced that they will return to TV with a new cable network that will replace the DIY Network in 2020.
"Our hope with this network is that it really feels like home," Joanna said. "I think when people come, they'll find what they were looking for. Whether it's design, gardening, cooking — that it resonates with people. We hope that people come, sit and they stay a while."
Mireya Acierto/FilmMagic
Chip added, "I can tell you that if you all will give us another chance, support us like you've done the last 6 or 7 years, we have a funny feeling that you won't be disappointed. We couldn't be more excited."
Joanna told People magazine last month that her and Chip's five children were perhaps more excited than the fans about their TV return.
"They'll say to us, 'You guys should do this or try that,'" she said. "They've really been helping us with market research."
Kaley Cuoco posts emotional behind-the-scenes 'Big Bang' pic
Kaley Cuoco is already getting emotional about the end of the "Big Bang Theory," and she's giving her social media followers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the final days of the show.
"Only a few curtain calls left!! Cue tears!!!" the actress captioned an image featuring her costars on the sitcom, which ends next month.
In the image, Kaley appears emotional while the rest of her costars clap for the cast, crew and in-studio audience — many of her 5.1 million Instagram followers cried along with Kaley, with one of them noting that the actress has a "forced smile" because she's fighting back tears.
Last year, CBS and the producers of the long-running show announced that "The Big Bang Theory" was coming to a close after 12 seasons.

In February, Kaley told reporters she plans to take home a poster of two robots wrestling —which hangs on the back of Leonard and Sheldon's door as an on-set memento.
"It's always in my eyeline from where I sit in the living room set, so I'm glad I'm going to put it in my own living room so I'll see it forever," she said, according to People magazine. "A lot of people want a lot of things, so I've already marked that one. It looks super random and weird, but it's overly special to me."
