Wendy Williams files for divorce from husband Kevin Hunter - Page Six

After persistent cheating rumors and breakup buzz, it’s over for Wendy Williams and Kevin Hunter.

The talk show host is divorcing her husband of nearly 22 years, Williams’ attorney confirmed to Page Six Thursday. The split comes amid renewed rumors that Hunter has been cheating on Williams, 54, with a woman named Sharina Hudson, who gave birth to a baby suspected to be Hunter’s last month.

The divorce news comes after Williams notably flaunted her lack of a wedding band early Thursday on her hairstylist’s and makeup artist’s social media.

Rumors of infidelity have plagued the couple for a few years, though Williams never confirmed them. She vaguely addressed her marital woes on her show earlier this year, cryptically telling viewers after she returned from a two-month hiatus that her wedding ring would always stay on her hand.

“I’m still very much in love with my husband,” she said. “Don’t ask me about mine.” Pointing to her wedding ring, Williams added, “It ain’t going anywhere. Not in this lifetime.”

However, her ring apparently did go somewhere. On March 25, upon leaving the sober living facility where she has been staying after receiving help for addiction in Florida (though she previously told viewers she was seeking treatment for her Graves’ disease), the morning show host was spotted without her flashy jewelry. She appeared to put it back on to tape her show later that day, but an insider had told us it wasn’t her real ring.

Infidelity wasn’t the only rumor to swirl about Williams and Hunter’s marriage. Sources previously told The Post that Hunter’s allegedly abusive behavior ultimately led to the unraveling that prompted Williams to relapse.

“She would hide in the bathroom and tell me to knock on the door when he left the office so she wouldn’t have to see him,” an intern from Williams’ former radio show told The Post, adding that it was common for Hunter to pull Williams into a private room and for staff to hear them fighting.

“You’d hear slaps or some type of tussling going on,” said the intern.

Williams has been open about her past addiction to cocaine and crack.

Friends of Williams have publicly expressed concern for her and her poor health as she remained in her seemingly tumultuous marriage, with longtime pal Paul Porter previously telling The Post that divorce was her only hope.

Porter, who said he’s talked with Williams a hundred times in the past two years, said Williams’ husband, the executive producer of “The Wendy Williams Show,” is a “control freak” and “a terror.”

He said they went to couples counseling, but “for some reason, she can’t break away.”

Former friend Charlamagne Tha God expressed concern on his radio show “The Breakfast Club,” saying Hunter was “sucking the life out of” Williams.

He also admitted he introduced Hunter to his alleged mistress 10 years ago, but it was solely for business purposes.

“Just because I introduce you to someone doesn’t mean 10 years later you need to be in a picture with them showing all your teeth and her throwing up duck lips and a peace sign,” Charlamagne said.

Williams and Hunter met at a skating rink in 1994, tied the knot three years later and welcomed their son, 19-year-old Kevin Hunter Jr., in 2000.

How to get caught up on Game of Thrones — fast - The Verge

Game of Thrones is nearly back after almost two years off the air. That’s a long time for any TV show, but it’s especially problematic for a series that has become famous for its massive cast of characters, branching storylines, and complicated plot. What else would you expect from a show based on George R.R. Martin’s 4,228 pages (and counting, theoretically) of books?

Fortunately, the internet is full of resources to get caught up for the final season premiere on Sunday. We’ve rounded up the best of them here, for everyone from die-hard Thrones veterans to fresh-faced summer children. (Don’t worry, series newcomers. You’ll get that reference soon enough.)

I just want a refresher

It’s been a while, and even though Game of Thrones spent the last season or so contracting into just a few main storylines, there’s still a lot going on, and a quick catch-up never hurts.

• Watch “The Dragon and the Wolf.” To watch select episodes on your own time, you’ll need either the physical media (all previous seasons are available on DVD and Blu-ray) or streaming access through HBO or a partner like Amazon. The season 7 finale is a good place to start if you want to remember where we left off. It’s less of a finale than a prologue for season 8, spending most of the time setting the table for the fireworks (and ice-works, presumably) to come.
• Season 7 recaps. The internet’s cottage Game of Thrones industry is booming, and YouTube is full of helpful videos to remind you of where everyone is and what they’re doing. This animated series recap from White Animation is one of my favorites, covering most of the main characters and major plot points accurately but with some humor. Plus, it’s only three and a half minutes long. Film Cram’s season 7 recap is 10 times as long, but it offers a much more comprehensive look at what happened last season.
• Wikis. When in doubt, check Wikipedia or the Game of Thrones Wiki, both of which have extremely in-depth recaps of individual episodes and entire seasons.
• Just watch season 7 again. This isn’t technically “quick,” but the previous season is only seven episodes long, which means you should be able to make it through pretty quickly before Sunday night’s premiere of season 8. If you want to make sure you don’t miss a single plot point, it’s your best bet.

I stopped watching a few seasons back

We get it. You gave up on the show, but you hate missing out on the hype. You’re probably familiar with the basics, like who the main characters are, but depending on when you stopped watching, a lot has probably changed in Westeros. Here’s how to get back up to speed.

• Who’s alive? First things first, you’ll want to figure out who’s still standing going into the final season and roughly what they’re up to. Time’s guide to the current batch of survivors is extremely comprehensive and concise.
• Wikipedia summaries. Wikipedia has comprehensive summaries of every episode, but the individual episode pages are super long. (If you had that kind of time, you’d just read the books, amirite?) You want the specific pages for each season, which give far more concise paragraph summaries of key events, perfect for skimming through to find out what you missed.
• Key episodes. If you want to dive a little deeper, there are plenty of online guides that list the key episodes and justify why they’re the ones to watch, including this concise five-episode guide at Polygon, this 10-episode list from Screen Rant, or Vox’s even more comprehensive guide. Just pick up where you left off and catch the important ones from there, or watch them all if you’ve really forgotten everything.

I have never watched Game of Thrones

So you’ve resisted this far despite all of the hype, or maybe you just awoke from a century of enchanted slumber. Welcome to the present! Apparently, you’re curious about this new Game of Thrones show people keep talking about. I’ll be honest: you’re starting your catch-up pretty late. But here’s your best shot:

• Full-show summaries. There’s no perfect way to compress more than 67 hours of content in so little time. Your best bet is to watch some of the full series recaps on YouTube, like this nearly hour-long one from Screen Junkies, or ScreenCrush’s shorter 12-minute one.
• The Game of Thrones wiki. Less useful for a binge catch-up, but chances are that all of these other lists and guides are going to be throwing weird terms, phrases, places, and character names at you. Keep the Game of Thrones wiki handy for quick consultations about which house is which and who that random dude wearing a dog-shaped helmet is.
• Wiki summaries and key episodes. See the previous section. These zoomed-out views of the series are a good place to catch up. You’ll just have to do even more reading and watching to get back up to speed.
• Watch the entire show. Depending on when you start, if you take zero breaks between now and the premiere, you can watch almost every episode. I wouldn’t entirely recommend that, but it is at least a conceivably possible strategy. But you might want to get started right now to have any hope of being done in time.

Nipsey Hussle Memorial: Traffic Delays, Rolling Closures Expected For Memorial And Funeral Procession - CBS Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Drivers were warned to avoid a large swath of Los Angeles ahead of Nipsey Hussle’s memorial at Staples Center Thursday. Expect more traffic delays and congestion than normal in and around downtown Los Angeles and South Los Angeles ahead of Nipsey Hussle’s Celebration of Life at 10 a.m. at Staples Center.

The doors open at 8 a.m., and while cameras and recording devices will not be allowed at the memorial, the music subscription service Tidal will livestream the event to members and non-members alike.

Immediately following the service, a 25.5-mile funeral procession will wind its way through Inglewood, South Los Angeles and Watts.

Rolling street closures will be implemented along the funeral procession route, according to the Los Angeles Department of Transportation. The route will start in Exposition Park, going by USC, make its way by Hussle’s childhood home, pass by The Marathon Clothing store, Hussle’s store and the site of his murder, and end at the Angelus Funeral Home.

Hussle, whose real name was Ermias Asghedom, will be buried at Forest Lawn cemetery.

The 33-year-old Grammy-nominated rapper was shot and killed in front of his clothing store on March 31. His murder sent shock waves through the music industry and the South LA community, which he had been investing in the form of his clothing store, an apartment building for low-income families and a barbershop. The day after he died, he had also been scheduled to meet with LAPD officials to discuss ways to end gang violence.

A gang member, Eric Holder, has been charged with Hussle’s murder. Police say Holder shot Hussle over a personal dispute.

Pregnant Meghan Markle and Prince Harry reveal royal baby birth plans - Page Six

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are continuing to stray away from royal traditions.

On Thursday, the Kensington Palace announced that the parents-to-be intend to keep the upcoming birth of their first child private, appearing to forgo the traditional photo-op outside the Lindo Wing in London, where Kate Middleton and Prince William unveiled their children, Prince George, 5, Princess Charlotte, 3, and 11-month-old Prince Louis, to the world.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby,” the Palace said in a statement.

“Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private. The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.”

In the days following the royal baby’s birth, Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, will participate in a small press engagement, according to People, which will take place on the Windsor Castle grounds.

The couple has also asked fans to donate to charity in lieu of baby gifts, posting a message to their official Instagram account last week.

“The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are immensely grateful for the outpouring of love and support in anticipation of the birth of their first child,” the note read. “If you already made a donation, the couple send you their greatest thanks.”

Baby Sussex is due within the coming weeks.
