Kandi Burruss reveals she's planning to get pregnant via surrogate

Paras Griffin/Getty ImagesKandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are looking to add to their family.

The couple, who welcomed their first child, Ace, in 2016, revealed that they’re working on confirming a surrogate.

“We did find someone, and right now we are in the process – you know it hasn’t been done – but we’re in the process,” Burruss told US Weekly.

The Real Housewives star, who wed Tucker in 2014, says she’s “nervous” about the surrogate process, since it’s all new to her.

“Like, I don’t have anybody who can tell me [about it],” she continued. “When we were going through the IVF process, I did have a couple of friends who had done it, so, you know, I could talk to them, but this is a situation where I don’t have anybody I can talk to.”

Although the process hasn’t officially started, the couple already knows the sex of their potential baby.

“We have girls,” she said. “We have two embryos that are still left from when we had Ace. So, we have two embryos left and we know they’re girls.”

This would be the first daughter for the couple, and a second girl each for Kandi and Todd. They both have daughters from a previous relationship.

Season 11 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET. on Bravo.

ABC/Ida Mae AstuteNumerous music stars are urging people to go to the polls today. Alicia Keys wants to recognize those who vote with some social media exposure, while Frank Ocean has gifts for voters in four Southern cities.

Keys is offering to post photos of her fans voting on her Instagram story.

“I need y’all to send me a picture of you at the polls rocking out. Partying. Doing your thing,” Alicia says in a video. “Just hashtag vote with us so I can find you. Put you all in my story. As many as I can fit I’m putting in my story to celebrate us.”

The 15-time Grammy winner is also excited to see so many females and African-Americans on ballots across the country.

Rihanna orders President Trump to “stop the music” with cease and desist letter

Getty Images via ABCRihanna is ordering President Trump to stop playing her music.

After earlier tweeting her opposition to the president playing her 2007 hit, “Don’t Stop the Music,” at a rally last weekend in Chattanooga, TN, RiRi is now taking legal action.

“It has come to our attention that President Trump has utilized (Rihanna’s) musical compositions and master recordings, including her hit track ‘Don’t Stop the Music,’ in connection with a number of political events held across the United States,” Rihanna’s legal team wrote in a cease and desist letter to the president’s White House counsel, according to Rolling Stone.

“As you are or should be aware, Ms. Fenty has not provided her consent to Mr. Trump to use her music. Such use is therefore improper,” the letter continues.

Rihanna is the latest of several artists who have demanded that Trump not use their music. Last week, Pharrell sent a cease and desist letter to the president, demanding that he stop using his Grammy-winning song “Happy” during his events.

Rihanna is also urging everyone to vote today. “It’s ELECTION DAY America!!! The most important day for the rest of your lives…all you have is right now!,” she wrote on Instagram. “If you’re tired of complaining about the state of the country and government, get up and do something about it!!! #VOTE … You have no excuse.

iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — Legendary former New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner headlines a list of ten larger-than-life figures eligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame next month, with their selection to be overseen by the Today’s Game Era committee.

Also on the list are former managers Davey Johnson, Lou Piniella and Charlie Manuel, and a group of players that includes Harold Baines, Albert Belle, Joe Carter, Will Clark, Orel Hershiser, and Lee Smith. The 16-person committee is responsible for choosing candidates who were involved in the sport from 1998 and the present.

The committee will meet on December 9 at Major League Baseball’s winter meetings in Las Vegas. Any candidate who receives 75 percent of the vote will be inducted at Cooperstown next July, alongside the players chosen from the standard ballot in January.

The Today’s Game Era committee last met two years ago, choosing former MLB commissioner Bud Selig and former Atlanta Braves executive John Schuerholz for induction. Each of the individuals up for consideration this year were considered then, but none received more than half of the vote.
