What a beautiful family!
Trystan Reese gave birth to his first son with partner Biff Chaplow last month — and because Reese was born with a female reproductive system, the couple was able to conceive naturally!

The 34-year-old transgender man gave birth to little Leo on July 14, and tells People he’s nothing short of a perfect baby:
“Leo’s the most delightful baby ever — he’s eating like a champ, sleeping well, and blessing us with lots of cuddles.”
After deciding to try and conceive naturally last year, the fathers-of-three encountered some struggles: Reese miscarried their first pregnancy six weeks in.
Though Reese explained the difficult journey just made the delivery of Leo that much more special, adding:
“It feels like an incredible relief for him to finally be here. We’ve waited so long to meet him, and worked so hard to bring him into this world, that it’s just a joy to be able to look at his face and hold his tiny hand and actually see him.”
Leo is only the youngest in the pair’s growing family. Reese and Chaplow have two older children, whom they adopted from Chaplow’s sister after she could no longer care with them.

According to Reese, the two older kids are loving their new sibling — especially their daughter Hailey. He explained:
“Hailey [age 7] has thrown herself into big sister mode with a vengeance, helping with feeding and entertaining him and even attempting to assist with diaper changing —with varying levels of success. Riley [age 9] is a little less interested in Leo at this stage, and is looking forward to when he’s a bit older and can play.”
We love it!

After appointing him just 11 days before, Donald Trump fired controversial White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci on Monday morning.
As if that weren’t humiliating enough, he may have sent one last communication Scaramucci’s way. On Monday afternoon, he tweeted:
A great day at the White House!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 31, 2017
Many are interpreting this as a parting jab, but with Trump, who knows really? He fires so many people, he may not even have realized how that came across.
So what do YOU think, Perezcious readers?? Shade or no shade?

Mariah Carey is not having a “meltdown” after “packing on the pounds,” despite a sensational report that isn’t grounded in reality. In fact, Gossip Cop has confirmed the mean-spirited claims are actually made up.
As Gossip Cop reported, the National Enquirer published fake news last week, wrongly claiming Carey was “too fat to walk.” In the cruel story, in which the superstar was body-shamed for her size, the supermarket tabloid ignored plenty of evidence of Carey walking around with ease to give the inaccurate impression that she’s becoming disabled due to her weight. Though the assertions were grossly false, now sister outlet RadarOnline is furthering the manufactured storyline. The webloid is exclaiming in a headline on Tuesday, “Mariah Meltdown! Carey A ‘Weepy Unstable Mess’ After Packing On The Pounds.” The accompanying article alleges the singer is a “weepy unstable mess” after her Las Vegas show “bombed with the fans.”
“Her weight gain and lazy performances are bringing her shame and she’s just so distressed,” a so-called “insider” is quoted as saying, going on to allege Carey is “used to being the diva and this fan backlash is really discombobulating for her.” Yet despite claiming the songstress’ residency “bombed with fans” and there’s a “fan backlash,” the site provides no evidence to back up either contention.
Rather, the supposed source further maintains of Carey, “She cries a lot. However, it’s her own fault and down to drinking too much, gorging on comfort foods and not exercising. Mariah doesn’t see the correlation between her unhealthy behavior and the bad reviews. She’s gone from high-octave wonder to a joke in heels, which she can’t even walk in anymore.” This specious tipster adds to the outlet, “Now she made an emergency appeal to Bryan [Tanaka] to help her shape up her act.”
But it’s actually the webloid and its sister publication that need to “shape up.” Both are not only being needlessly mean, but also spreading blatant misinformation. Carey is not melting down. She’s actually in quite the happy place right now, both personally and professionally. “Mariah is having a fantastic time on tour with her children, family and friends,” a rep for the superstar tells Gossip Cop exclusively.
And for proof, look no further than Carey’s Instagram, which shows both her twins and Tanaka on the road with her. The singer’s kids even joined her on stage on Monday. Real life clearly doesn’t match this fake news narrative, and RadarOnline and the National Enquirer should be ashamed for making it up.

Rachel Lindsay may be the best Bachelorette EVER!
We say this with confidence as the Dallas-based attorney took one of her former contestants to task for being racist AF during the Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special. But, hey, we’re getting ahead of ourselves.

As you likely know, the episode before the final rose ceremony is always a reunion sit down where the lead for the current season of the ABC dating competition is able to get closure from his or her past suitors. The Tell All episode is normally super dramatic, so obviously, this time around was no different.
Let’s not waste anymore precious time and jump into it all…
DeMario Scrambles To Explain That Girlfriend Drama
It seems like a lifetime ago when DeMario Jackson was caught having ghosted his girlfriend in order to go onto the Bachelorette. We’re sure the Dancing With The Stars hopeful is missing the days when this was his only drama. In case you forgot, Mr. Jackson was given the boot after a former flame came onto the show and said the executive recruiter was pretty much her boyfriend.
So… what did DeMario have to say for himself?? Unapologetically, Jackson told the audience:
“That’s called a side chick. You can boo me. I’m just keeping it real.”
Hmmmm. Chris Harrison wasn’t about that blasé answer as he clapped back:
“I feel like now you’re really distancing yourself from Lexi. I had this guy DeMario tell me he dated her and had been in a relationship.”
While DeMario was quick to deny this accusation, the Bachelorette host was vehement he had the confession on “tape.” As for the other men in the house, they laid into Jackson for causing the drama and for making Rachel emotionally closed off during filming. Dramaaaaa!
The Kenny Vs. Lee Feud
Lee Garrett and Kenny King were in a feud for pretty much the entire first half of season 13. There’s no denying that the Nashville native did everything in his power to get under the professional wrestler’s skin, so unsurprisingly, a lot of the guys sided with Kenny in this drama.
Dean Unglert even said in defense of King:
“Kenny might have been the most well-liked guy in the house and it’s hard to say the same about Lee. I will forever have Kenny’s back in that situation. I think that Lee made a point to badger certain people.”
Fair point. Still, not EVERYONE was #TeamKenny, as DeMario added:
“The Lee that I know was a very genuine guy.”
On his feud with Lee, Kenny argued that Lee’s actions were out of fear that he didn’t “belong.” Thankfully, Lee took the criticism and apologized to Kenny. The singer/songwriter even admitted that he “should have been a better friend.”
The father-of-one accepted Lee’s apology but noted he and his former frenemy are unlikely to “sit and kick it” anytime soon. Speaking of Kenny’s daughter, Harrison then brought out the youngster and shared that ABC was sending the two of them to Disneyland to celebrate the Las Vegas resident’s birthday in style. We have a feeling this was the network’s way of apologizing for casting a racist on the reality show!
Lee Apologizes For His Racist Ways
Just when you thought we were done with the Lee drama, Chris had to bring him up on stage. As you likely know, on top of Garrett’s offensive behavior on the Bachelorette, the 30-year-old also made headlines for some seemingly racist and misogynistic tweets he sent in his past. Lee was quick to apologize for being so ignorant, but Dean wasn’t buying it as he called out his peer for fanning the fire online. The baby faced contestant dished:
“You should have done this [and apologized] two months ago.”
Several of the other suitors agreed with this sentiment as a few pondered if Lee would feel sorry if he hadn’t been caught. Nonetheless, Lee stood by his apology and added:
“I feel like I have a lot to learn…If I hurt anybody in any way, with a bad joke, I apologize. I did things that were wrong…. I completely denounce that and I denounce that Lee. I want to learn… I am sorry for saying things when I was not educated and ignorant in those subjects.”
The apology seemed to win over most people, especially Kenny, as he vowed to help educate Lee. The two even hugged it out!
Justice For Dean
Fan favorite Dean was able to get some closure over his failed relationship with Rachel as the former flames were able to sit down and talk about what happened between the them. On how blindsided he was by Rachel’s dumping of him, Unglert noted:
“She’s always going to have a piece of my heart, but I understand that door is closed.”
Poor guy. Miz Lindsay then came out and admitted to Dean that it was “very, very difficult” to say goodbye to him. Rachel’s words weren’t enough for Dean as he hit back with:
“I’m still confused about why you told me you were falling in love with me and then I got the boot four days later.”
The legal expert tried to articulate her decision, but at the end of the day, the Venice resident was left unconvinced. Regardless, Dean chose to let the whole thing go — which is a good thing since he’s Bachelor In Paradise bound.
Rachel Weighs In On The Lee Controversy
The final showdown of the night occurred between Rachel and Lee as she called out her former beau for being racist. After scolding Kenny for handling the Lee situation poorly, Rachel came for Lee and told him directly:
“I feel like I’m in such a unique position, I have the opportunity to be a spokesperson for African Americans, for women, and I just feel like you had such an amazing opportunity to be surrounded by different people and different cultures and you didn’t take advantage of that. You can meet me backstage and I’d be more than happy to give you a black history lesson and a lesson on women’s rights.”
You tell ’em, girl! Lee apologized once more, but this time to Rachel specifically, as he relayed:
“Today, I learned how great the people that I was with actually are and I just, I want to apologize to you too.”
Rachel accepted the apology and the drama was officially put to bed.
What do YOU think?? Were Lee’s many apologies sincere??

It seems like every time that you open a magazine you see the hottest celebrity holding their cute pet. You might find yourself asking how could it possibly get any more picture perfect than what you are looking at. It seems like they jumped straight out of a cartoon and straight into the celebrities arms.
You may look at your scruffy little animal, regardless of how much you might love them and wonder why yours always looks like it just rolled through the mud. Here is why celebrities pets are the leaders when it comes to being cute.
Celebrities make sure to take their pups to get washed regularly at the groomers. Not only are the dogs thoroughly washed on the regular, but they are also clipped, trimmed, primped, fluffed, and just about anything else that you could do to give a little life to their look.
Since this can quickly start to add up, it can be difficult to pay for this kind of regular grooming on a normal person’s salary. As a way to save money, consider learning how to groom your pet yourself. Get your own clippers and go for it. If you stay on top of keeping them regularly brushed and groomed you too might just have a contender who looks just as cute as your favorite celebrity’s pet.
One of the most common things that celebrities do to their pets is to dress them up in accessories. From hats to necklaces, there is no telling what kind of fashion trends you will spot on celebrities pets.
They try to have fun with their dog’s look and generally don’t take it too seriously. This is something you may want to try as well. There are so many different kinds of dog clothes on the market that there are all kinds of ways to have fun choosing things that may look cute on your pet.
One of the biggest factors in why celebrity pets are so cute is because a lot of them are some of the finest and most pedigree animals that you can find out there.
Often when you buy a rare and pedigree breed they have exceptionally striking features. Think of pedigree animals as supermodels are for humans. They are the best of the best when it comes to looking good. It’s no secret why this factor would make their pets stand out as extra cute.
A cute pet is a happy pet. Celebrities take a lot of time making sure that their pets are given all the attention that their little hearts desire. This means professional dog walkers, trainers, and plenty of love from everyone else around them.

The “Men Tell All” episode of “The Bachelorette” had the eliminated men fighting amongst each other and even with Rachel Lindsay. The special revisited the feud between Kenny and Lee, as well as DeMario pretending that he didn’t have a girlfriend going into the show. Meanwhile, Lindsay had to explain herself to some of the brokenhearted bachelors. Get the full recap and spoilers below.
After reliving some highlights from the past season, the show began with Whaboom and Blake fighting, as they did during episode three when they were sent home. From there, Chris Harrison directed his questions to DeMario, who changed his story on the “Men Tell All” special. DeMario, who was eliminated during episode two of “The Bachelorette,” tried to claim that he wasn’t dating that woman Lexi who confronted him after a basketball game.
At one point, DeMario downplayed his relationship with Lexi, calling her just a “side chick.” “I feel like the story is changing,” Harrison told DeMario, who again maintained that he didn’t date her. The host of “The Bachelorette” then shot back how DeMario even admitted to him that he dated Lexi. “I have it on tape,” added Harrison.
Next, Harrison turned his attention to the fighting between Kenny and Lee. Dean expressed that it was clear who was right and who was wrong, because everyone liked Kenny while most of the other 30 men didn’t feel the same way about Lee. Kenny said, “It didn’t feel like racism being in the middle of it.” He thought it was Lee being “very reactionary” and trying to latch on to anyone because he was “in over [his] head.”
Harrison then had Kenny in the hot seat. The wrestler stressed that he’s not really “aggressive,” as Lee to paint him out to be. And many of the other men similarly called it a mischaracterization. About the claim Lee made to Rachel about Kenny having pulled him out of a van, the country singer admitted, “You did not pull me out of a van.” Lee added, “You took the high road. I should have taken the high road… I should have been a better friend, and for that I should apologize.”
When Harrison asked if he could “bury the hatchet” with Lee, Kenny said, “I don’t have any ill-will, grudges.” The conversation then turned to Kenny leaving his daughter McKenzie to do the show. He said it was tough for him to leave her. Harrison then said he didn’t want Kenny to have to wait one more day ti see his daughter, and so McKenzie came out with a red rose for her dad. After a long hug, the host noted that it was Kenny’s birthday the next day, and so he was sending him and McKenzie to Disneyland as a gift.
Lee was then in the hot seat, where Harrison asked whether he was “disappointed” with his appearance on the show, to which he said “yes.” “I have some things I need to fix,” he told the audience. But Dean didn’t think that was enough. He told Lee that he needed to “denounce” his actions back then, which he didn’t, and not just on the “Men Tell All”special. “You need to claim ownership for the words that come out of your mouth,” added Kenny.
At that point, Harrison showed on a screen some of Lee’s offensive tweets, which emerged during the season. There were sexist and misogynistic remarks, but the most horrible was a racist tweet in which he compared the NAACP to the KKK, and insinuated that the NAACP is more racist the white supremacist hate group. For the most part, Lee had a hard time apologizing and kept repeating how he’s learning more every day.
Josiah then sat down on the couch next to Lee and questioned how he could tweet racist comments and then come on “The Bachelorette” with an African-American woman. “Black people fought and died so I could be on the same stage [with you],” Josiah told Lee, who said, “I don’t like racism at all. It bothers me morally. It hurt me a lot.” A fired-up DeMario yelled at Lee that the comparison he made in his tweet was “blasphemy” and “stupid.”
For the most part, though, Lee skirted around whether he could acknowledge he was a racist. “I’m sorry for saying things when I was not educated and ignorant,” he offered. Finally, after being pressed more, Lee confessed, “That tweet was racist, and I denounce it.” Kenny then told Lee that he could forgive him and help him moving forward. The two men then hugged it out. Lee ended his time on the hot seat by saying, “I want to apologize to Rachel, too.”
It was then time for a heartbroken Dean. He said he grappled with Rachel telling him she was falling in love with him right before showing him the door. Dean expressed that he was legitimately in love with the bachelorette. He then explained that even though his family dynamic is a bit different and strained, he wanted Rachel to see that “real side of me.” And even though Dean shared that he was “torn up” after the bachelorette sent him home, he felt “by necessity I need to move on.” And he has. Dean will be on “Bachelor In Paradise.”
After that, Rachel came out and had to face Dean, who came up and sat next to her on the couch. He pressed her about why she said she was falling in love with him just days before sending him home. Rachel explained that she simply had stronger feelings for the other three men. On the topic of DeMario, she said he just needed to be “honest.” She also discussed being the first black bachelorette. “Race wasn’t an issue,” said Rachel.
As for Kenny, she told him he should have ignored Lee. “I wish you could have realized that was background noise,” Rachel told the wrestler. She then talked about how she was in a unique position as an African-American women before schooling Lee, telling him he had a great opportunity to meet and learn from people of different cultures and he didn’t. Rachel then told Lee she could take him backstage ad give him a lesson on racism and sexism. Although he apologized to her, Rachel didn’t seem to take it too seriously.
After that, some of the men like Matt and Adam wanted to know why it didn’t work with them, though they and others all wished her well. The show then ended with bloopers and a sneak peek at the finale with Bryan, Eric and Peter. There were also clips of Rachel’s journey with each man.
