She's gotta slow down and get well.
Wendy Williams is suffering from thyroid issues and complications of Grave's disease, which is forcing her to take a three week hiatus from her talk show, she announced on Wednesday's episode.
"Graves’ disease squeezes the muscles behind the eyeballs,†she explained, adding that it has made her eyeballs twitch. "My doctor has prescribed — are you ready? — as of today, three weeks of vacation. What? Who are you? I was pissed. I’ll be back in two. I’m not an heiress — who is going to pay my bills? Are you serious? I’m just saying, I come from working class," she added.
"What I want to say to women, more than men, is stop putting everyone first because if we’re not good, they’re not good,†she concluded.
She has the full support of her network behind her.
"Wendy is a true champion and has never missed a day of work. But her health and well-being must be put before all else. Wendy has been openly dealing with her Graves’ Disease for many years in addition to hyperthyroidism. Yesterday, Wendy’s doctor prescribed a necessary three weeks of rest to get her levels and medication in sync. The show will be in repeats during this unplanned hiatus. A live show was produced today so that Wendy could speak directly to her fans and explain her condition," a show rep told People.
Nene Leakes flashed her nipples in a see-thru black dress while promoting her clothing line on Instagram yesterday, and almost immediately fans began to shame her for flaunting her goods. The reality star wasn't going to take the criticism lying down, though!
"I’m very comfortable in the skin I'm in, which is why I’m letting you see it. Umm do you make these comments on Kim K’s page?" she wrote back to one commenter.
You just KNOW nemesis Kim Zolciak is having a field day with this! We can just picture the wig-wearing blonde sitting in her bathrobe with her hubby laughing her ass off at Nene's shameless self promotion!

They're still head over heels, though.
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have decided to take some pressure off their relationship, and aren't trying desperately to get pregnant anymore after over a year of trying to conceive.
"Blake and Gwen have decided to put plans to have a baby on hold. Their feeling is if it happens naturally, great. But they’ve decided to not focus on it for the time being," a source dished to Us Weekly.
"Blake is extremely attentive, loving and doting towards Gwen and the boys. Blake has always wanted children. And he’s great with Gwen’s kids, which prompted them wanting their own. He is completely at peace with the prospect of not having any biological children of his own,†the source added.
The No Doubt songstress wouldn't want to have another child out of wedlock, though.
"Gwen is very traditional and wouldn’t want to be pregnant without being married. Their relationship has grown and matured into a stable, loving union. The need to get married and have kids isn’t the priority it once was," the insider revealed.
They're one of Hollywood's most rock solid couples!
Her mom might not like him, but his family approves of her!
Justin Bieber brought Selena Gomez as his date to his father Jeremy's wedding in Jamaica earlier this week, and fans couldn't resist snapping pics of the pair in their most private moments.
JB's dad wed longtime girlfriend Chelsey Rebelo in an intimate ceremony of about only 30 guests, and his famous son opted not to give a speech at the reception, but did serve as a groomsman.
The nuptials gave The Biebs some bright ideas, too.
A source tells X17:
"Justin doesn't want to lose Selena ever again. He knows he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, and he knows that a proposal will put to rest all of her fears that he will break her heart. He's been talking to his pastors about getting engaged to Selena, and they're counseling him on the ins and outs of a God-centered marriage before he pops the question. You can pretty much count on them being engaged by the year's end."

This is never a fun discovery.
Justin Theroux found old love notes wife Jennifer Aniston had saved from husband Brad Pitt nearly two years ago, and it didn't exactly help their failing relationship.
"He stumbled upon old Post-it notes Brad had written. Sweet little Post-its like, ‘You looked nice tonight’ or ‘Miss you already,'" a source dished to Us Weekly.
"Jen assured him they weren’t a big deal, but Justin wasn’t thrilled … Justin had moments of insecurity like that," the source added.
The Friends star's highly publicized breakup from the Oscar winner made her desperate to find a happily ever after and end the "Poor Jen" narrative.
"Jen has struggled with the perception that she is this pathetic woman after the divorce from Brad. It played a role in her wanting to marry Justin," the insider revealed.
Jen and Justin tried getting professional help to make their relationship work, but the attempt was unsuccessful.
"They couldn’t find common ground that made them both happy. It became exhausting and frustrating. For many months they tried to make it work. They even had therapy," a source told People.
The A-list beauty still hasn't given up on finding a man, though.
"She isn’t a fan of dating, and she never was. She always found dating awkward and unpleasant. She hates all the media attention that she knows she will get now. But she is a big believer in falling in love and spending her life with a partner that loves sharing hers," a source close to the actress explained.
She certainly hasn't had an easy time finding Mr. Right!

Gee, we wonder how this got out...
Blac Chyna's sex tape leaked on Monday, and her lawyer is really trying to make it seem like the former stripper didn't have anything to do with it!
"Revenge porn — posting explicit images without the consent of everyone in those images — is a crime, a civil wrong and a form of domestic abuse. It’s also a cruel attempt to slut shame women for being sexual," lawyer Lisa Bloom told Us Weekly.
"We have to change this culture of abuse and assault against women. Today’s post saddens me deeply as it is an attack not only against my client but my friend. Why do we think it’s acceptable to sell, or publish, or seek revenge, or blackmail women in this way and without their consent? It’s not," her other lawyer Walter Mosley wrote on social media.
"Men … we have to do better. I’m tired of telling my clients to not make videos because the men will put them out later. It’s like I’m telling them not to wear short skirts because you’re going to entice a man to rape you. #smh And like most rapes, these betrayals often come from those most close to us. So today I’m saying, men we need to do better. We need to tell each other to do better. We need to stop sharing these videos with each other in the club, at the barbershop or (and especially) online. It is a morally corrupt action, which is (at least in California) criminal. Maybe it is time to set an example," he added.
In case you haven't Googled it - you should, by the way! - BC is seen performing oral sex on a dude that's definitely not ex Rob Kardashian. Rapper Mechie says it's him in the video, but he never possessed the footage, as it was taken on Chyna's phone, he told TMZ.
Making matters worse, Internet trolls are bashing the video vixen's "skills" and calling her "lazy" in the bedroom. Perhaps she should have consulted with Kim K on this?

Ouch.
Justin Theroux only popped the question to Jennifer Aniston so he wouldn't lose her, but he never really wanted to walk down the aisle, Us Weekly reports.
"He had reservations at the time because they still hadn’t figured out where they were going to live as a couple. Justin was absolutely head over heels in love with Jen — and probably always will be — but marriage was never important to him. Marriage was always just a piece of paper to Justin, and he didn’t need it," a source dished to the mag.
It did, however, matter to the Friends star.
"Constant scrutiny of Jen’s personal life, including whether she would ever find her happily ever after, played a huge role in her marriage to Justin. It was obvious Jen needed more than an engagement or to be life partners with Justin. He didn’t want to lose her, so they got married," the source added.
But... were they even Mr. and Mrs. in the eyes of the law is the question. TMZ reports there's no record of them ever getting legally married, even though they had a "wedding" at their Bel Air estate back in 2015. It's possible they had a commitment ceremony but never made it official with a marriage license, which we guess would make this split a lot easier.
She certainly hasn't had the easiest time finding her happily ever after.

Give the girl a break!
Fergie has heard the criticism of her NBA All-Star game national anthem performance loud and clear, and she just wants everyone to know she put her all into the song.
"I’ve always been honored and proud to perform the national anthem and last night I wanted to try something special for the NBA. I’m a risk taker artistically, but clearly this rendition didn’t strike the intended tone. I love this country and honestly tried my best," she said in a statement to Us Weekly.
Behind the scenes, the Duchess was taken aback by the backlash.
"Neither Fergie nor her team thought anything was wrong with her national anthem rendition. That’s the way she sings a lot of her songs. She loves adding a little sexiness and being different with her riffs. It was meant to be jazz-inspired. She wanted to stand out," a source told the mag.
Perhaps hinting at the controversy and showing his support, ex Josh Duhamel shared a sweet message from their son Axl. “Love is so strong. Love cannot be broken. Love is so strong nobody can break it not even Hulk. – Axl Jack Duhamel," the message read.
