Jennifer Lopez Confirms Relationship With Drake
It's been officially confirmed: J-Lo and Drizzy are making new music together! Lopez opened up about her "working relationship" with Drake saying,
"We are... Well, we did! We did one song together! I don't know if we will do more. We will see!"
Back in December, rumors started flying that something romantic was going on between the two after Drake attended two of J-Lo's Vegas shows (back to back) followed by an intimate evening together... they also added fuel to the fire by sharing this image to their Instagram(s):
Kesha and Macklemore are Up to Something
Kesha is back home in Nashville doing her thing (singing) with a side of soul searching...
Check our more interviews like this on VICELAND's Noisey.
It's been five long years but a new Kesha album is coming.
Is she working with Macklemore? It sure looks like it!
Grammy award winning artist Macklemore shared this picture with a simple yet mysterious caption including a crystal ball and tiger emoji.
Kesha's posted a pic of a tiger to Instagram last week with the caption:
"I want cats to fill my 2017. I'm going to manifest cats."
Um. Okay! Maybe the two were just hanging out talking about their mutual love for cats?! The crystal ball emoji carrier more of a "something is coming" vibe as Zedd teased us with his Kesha collab, True Colors, over social media with the same emoji.
She's been teasing us with rumors of a new album which may or may not include cuts with rock band Eagles of Death Metal and a "Grammy award winning" artist... Hmm...
Ma-ck-le-more?? M-m-maybe?
My 2016 Christmas Wish List
This year has been overwhelming in many ways with the greatest gift being my Dad's return to health (to put it very simply). We all know that the best gifts are not material things but each year I make a blog post dedicated to things I want for Christmas. This year, that tradition continues...
This list could benefit that pregnant 30 something in your life and it's kinda fun (for me, anyway) to have digital evidence of things I'd asked for throughout the years.
Donating your time, money or any gently used items to the following causes is as much a gift to yourself as it is to the recipient. I strongly encourage supporting The Ottawa Mission and the Ottawa Humane Society.
Ok. On to the material list...
Now and forever - CARMEX! The best lip balm out there. Absolutely love this stuff. On average, I go through 8-10 jars per year.
Kanada Black Moccasins from Beaded Dreams (size 5)
Dr. Brown's Deluxe Bottle Warmer
Dr. Brown's Deluxe Sterilizer
I'm also on the hunt for a bathing suit top/rash guard (XL) to help keep me covered at the pool while Everett attends swim lessons - something I think everyone would appreciate (haha)!
Jadon and Anias making a "QUICK recovery": Update!

An update on Jadon and Anias via CNN Health
“Separated twins: After hardest surgery, the quickest recovery”
November 22nd, 2016
Like millions of people worldwide, I’ve been following the story of Jadon and Anias McDonald. Conjoined twins, separated (recently) after a grueling 27 hour procedure. Read this blog post for some background on the story:
That brings us to today’s update. In the four weeks following the boys’ surgery, Mom (Nicole) and Dad (Christian) have not seen their babies without large bandages atop their heads. Well, for Jadon, that is no longer the case! For a brief moment while Jadon was having his bandages changed, the McDonald’s got to see their boy’s head.

“It’s the most amazing thing. I just can’t even believe it. And look at his little hair. On top, it’s growing in!”
“Hey there, my man. You sure are handsome. Look at you. You look like a perfect little boy.”
Anias has been on the mend as well, though progressing more slowly than Jadon. Dr. Goodrich (the amazing surgeon who performed the separation) explains that with twins joined at the head, there is always a dominant child. This child does double the work, their heart and lungs work overtime to keep both boys alive. Anias is the non-dominant child. This explains his post-op struggles with breathing and eating (which were an issue pre-op as well).
Despite that, Dr. Goodrich says both boys are doing very, very well and “ahead of schedule” when it comes to their recovery which “makes everyone happy.”
“Historically, this will be the fastest (recovery)” which he credits to being “Just good kids”.
Goodrich informed the family of the successful separation at about 3 a.m. on Friday, October 14. “Well, we did it,” he told them.
The boys are 14 months old and set to move to rehab shortly after Thanksgiving (US). Jadon is ready to go now but the medical staff have agreed it’s best to keep the boys together at this stage so they can pursue rehab in a similar capacity. Anias does not have the same range of motions as Jadon but caregivers believe he will get there.
Unlike most children their age, Jadon and Anias have not reached the typical milestones like crawling, lifting their heads, standing or attempting to walk. The surgery has set them back to infancy. Luckily, Mom is a pediatric physical therapist!
A poem in the boys hospital room reads:
I’m your twin
You’re my twin
We stick together through thick and thin
No matter what I do
I’m always stuck with you.
With both boys being “way ahead of schedule” in their recovery, the family knows it will be a long road. Lead plastic surgeon Dr. Oren Tepper says that Anias will eventually need more surgery to try to create a new skull cap out of bone from his hip or rib. He will progress, for the next few years, just fine so long as he wears a protective helmet. Both Jadon and Anias will be wearing helmets before going into rehab.
“They’re really doing a lot better than I’d hoped. The whole world has gotten behind these kids.”
