There is a deep sadness and mourning a woman goes through when she is told she has little or no chance to have her own children. In the meantime, friends that never wanted kids get pregnant with the blink of an eye, celebrities get pregnant at the age of 50, people who don’t even want kids get pregnant — in short, it feels like everyone can get pregnant but you. This kind of sadness can keep you up at night, crying and angry at God, wondering what you did wrong in life to deserve this.
It can be devastating. [For me], it was.
When I got cast on Big Brother [14 in 2012], I was a newlywed of seven months. My husband, [J Rollins], and I were in our early 40s, unable to have our own child. We had seen fertility specialists who told us we had about an 8 percent chance of getting pregnant even with IVF. But we knew if we if we chose adoption, we had nearly a 100 percent chance of having a baby.
We had no idea how we would pay for it. The average price of a private adoption is the cost of a luxury car. I fantasized about winning BB and using some of that money for our adoption, but we all know that didn’t happen [as I was the first competitor evicted]. It was going to have to be a complete leap of faith.
Friends and family alike weighed in, sharing horror stories and saying things like, “At your age? Wow, good luck!” Or, “Aren’t your stepkids enough?” “What race will you get?” And the most popular comment: “I knew someone who adopted, and the birth mom changed her mind and took the baby back! What if that happens to you?”
Of course, there were celebratory comments too, but so many people filled our heads with fear and doubt. We had our own doubts. What would it be like to raise someone else’s child? Will we bond? Are we too old?
Miesha Tate is victorious once again as the new champion of “Celebrity Big Brother”.
to nab every vote but one when she faced off against her ally, Todrick Hall, in the finals.«I was very surprised. I thought it was gonna be four and four. I was just trying to predict how I thought everybody was gonna vote,» Tate told ET.
wasted no time getting to the action and manipulating as the final three — including Todrick Hall, Miesha Tate and Cynthia Bailey — started playing their end game moves and low-key trying to secure their places in the final two.Todrick finally dropped the bomb to Cynthia and Miesha that he's actually a super-fan, which comes as a shock to Cynthia, although it also meant things started to click for the reality star about Todrick's time in the season.«It explains why he's the only person who has never been on the block in this house,» Cynthia said in a confessional video.Todrick, meanwhile, started trying to figure out all his angles, convincing Cynthia that she'd be better off bringing him to the end than Miesha because everybody in the jury has bad blood with him (which is actually a decent point).Finally, the time came for the final Head of Household competition. It was another trivia challenge based on the houseguests who have already been evicted, and is essentially a game of Two Truths and a Lie.
Lamar Odom is headed to the jury after getting the boot on Monday, and he's opening up about how he really feels about his fellow houseguest, Todrick Hall.On Monday, Odom was evicted from the house in a surprising live double eviction episode — shortly before his ally and friend Todd Bridges got the boot.
Lamar Odom is no longer in contact with Khloe Kardashian. ET's Kevin Frazier spoke with the former NBA player following his eviction from , and Odom revealed that he no longer speaks to his ex-wife.«It would be a blessing just to be in her presence, but I understand that s**t happened and people move on in their lives,» Odom, 42, told ET.
is nearing the end, and tensions are rising dramatically as the competition got narrowed down in a big way on Monday with a double eviction.Following last Friday's eviction — which saw Carson Kressley get the boot — Todrick Hall won the title of Head of Household and he went on to put Todd Bridges and Lamar Odom up on the chopping block.On Monday, Todrick made it perfectly clear that Todd was his real target — as he's done better in most of the competitions than either Lamar or Cynthia Bailey, and Miesha Tate has been Todrick's ally throughout the whole season.Todd didn't appreciate being nominated and was also irritated that Todrick and Miesha likely manipulated him into axing Carson last week. However, as Todd and Lamar have been friends and allies for some time now, having them both on the block almost guaranteed that one or the other of them will be going home, regardless of the Power of Veto competition.That being said, the only way Todd could really shake things up — and potentially throw Todrick's game for a loop — was to earn the Veto. The competition was designed to look like a luge event, and it saw the contestants face off by going down a ramp and trying to do so closest to a pre-determined time.
