(Photo : Getty Images/Dave Kotinsky) Adrienne Bailon said she"s happy that Rob Kardashian found happiness with Blac Chyna.
With all the hoopla that"s been surrounding Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian"s relationship, it"s easy to forget that the famed sibling used to date Adrienne Bailon.
If you"ve ever watched any "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" episodes, then you know the two were deep in love and seemingly spent most of their time together, which is why it was totally appropriate for "The Real" host to comment on Rob"s new relationship.
"He deserves happiness, so I"m happy for him," said Bailon when she spoke to Us Weekly."He"s a great guy. I always say that."
"We were in love at one point, and I think when you"re younger, what is that? Hindsight is 20/20? You look back and you"re just like "We were young and in love and life goes on." You wish that person the best. You always wish well on people," added Bailon.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kardashian responded to the rumors that he and Blac Chyna split.
Through Instagram, the 28-year-old said that he and the model are still together, but they"re choosing to keep their relationship way more private.
"Chy and I are not broken up," wrote Kardashian. "We just feel like it would be a lot healthier for our relationship if we kept a lot more to ourselves. It"s impossible to have a positive relationship with so much negativity from the media and outsiders, and we would appreciate if everyone respects that."
Then he actually signed the message "ChyRo," short for Chyna and Rob, which is truly gag-worthy.

Following his multimilliondollar victory against Gawker, Hulk Hogan took to social media to do a little trolling.
On Tuesday, a day after the wrestling icon was awarded even more money in a lawsuit he brought against the blog site, Hogan posted a picture of himself from his heydays performing a leg drop. Only the picture was photoshopped to add the Gawkerlogo where his opponent was once laying on the matt.
Hogan, who has more than 1.4 million Twitter followers, was active on the social media platform during his trial, usually posting a tweet every few days.
On Monday, Hogan wasawarded an additional $25 million in punitive damages -- $15 million from Gawker, $10 million from Gawker owner Nick Denton and $100,000 from former Gawker editor in chief A.J. Daulerio -- on top of his $115 million verdict against the blog site on Monday.
Hogan sued the site for posting a s*x tape of him which he said he did not know was made.
Following the punitive damages judgment, Gawker general counsel Heather Dietrick said, "There is so much this jury deserved to know and, fortunately, that the appeals court does indeed know. So we are confident we will win this case ultimately based on not only on the law but also on the truth."

Mischa Barton’s ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Partner Reveals ‘O.C.’ Connection
The ballroom"s burning up! Dancing With the Stars" season 22 premiere on Monday, March 21, kicked off with lots of swinging hips, chiseled abs and one set of leaky b*****s (more on that later). There were a few notable changes this time around, including Len Goodman"s return to the judges table and the fact that, for the first time in over two years, there are no teenagers in the mix.

The first night on the dance floor usually sets the tone for the season ahead, establishing a loose pecking order of contestants. With season 22 not boasting any insanely energetic youngsters or celebs with heavy doses of dance training (though Mischa Barton claimed she fit the latter category), it was really anyone"s guess who would land on top and who would fall flat. Here"s how it went down.

The Good
No one seemed to expect much from the, um, not-petiteWayna Morris, who rose to fame in the 1990s as one of the original members of the R&B group Boyz II Men. Expectations weren"t raised when he revealed during his video package that seeing Joey Fatone compete on the show inspired him to try it. "I was like, "If this fat white boy can do it "" the singer recalled before trailing off with a laugh. He sort of said he was kidding, but not really.
Paired with Lindsay Arnold, however, Morris delivered an awesome cha-cha-cha that clearly surprised the judges. Bruno Tonioli praised the "precision" of Morris" timing, while the notably difficult-to-please Goodman predicted the crooner "could make it to the end of the road." For their unexpected performance, they earned an impressive 23 points.

Also nabbing 23 points were Good Morning America"s chief meteorologist and new mom Ginger Zee and her partner Valentin Chmerkovskiy. "I apologize in advance if I leak on you because I"m breastfeeding, so milk is going to be everywhere," Zee joked to Chmerkovskiy, who looked absolutely terrified.
The GMA host explained that she hoped dancing would help her get her "mojo" back, but the second she began their jive, it was clear she"d never lost it. Carrie Ann Inaba compared Zee to Mirrorball winner Bindi Irwin, describing Zee"s energy as "infectious." Len praised the dance for being "frisky, risky, fast and furious"; still, he told her to work on straightening her legs.
Just d**n
Rounding out the trio of pairs who tied for first were Nyle DiMarco and Peta Murgatroyd but while their scores were all the same, it was this couple who clearly stood out. DiMarco was the winner ofAmerica"s Next Top Model cycle 22 and has the chiseled abs to back up that title. He"s also completely Deaf. That"s right he can"t hear a thing, not even with a hearing aid.

While having to speak to her partner through an interpreter must have had its challenges, Peta didn"t seem the least bit freaked. Instead, she and DiMarco delivered a sizzling cha-cha-cha that had Carrie Ann literally gasping for air. Bruno definitely said it best, however, when he got up and went over to touch DiMarco to "make sure he was real."
The Bad
Not everyone had a great night, though. 1984 Heisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie performed a foxtrot with Karina Smirnoff that only earned 15 points. "The good news is, you did it," Carrie Ann managed. (Umm, if that"s the "good news," things are really, really bad.) Len echoed Carrie Ann, adding, "You came out, and you really tried to sell it." The only problem was, no one was buying it.

Coming in dead last with a 13 were Geraldo Rivera and Edyta Sliwinska, whose cha-cha-cha left the judges wanting more. The colorful broadcaster continued his "70 is the new 50" shtick in between comments alluding to how hot his partner was (which she mainly ignored). This time it was Bruno who went in for the kill. "Very cunning strategy," he began. "Maybe you could dance next week, yeah?" Rivera pretty much laughed that off and (sort of) agreed.
The Really Bad
While their 16 placed them above Flutie and Rivera, Mischa Barton and Artem Chigvintsev were possibly the biggest disappointment of the night. Though the former OC star boasted that she"d "actually danced a lot" in her life, her pro quickly put that claim to bed. "I"m sorry, but Mischa is not a natural dancer," Chigvintsev groaned. After their uninspired tango, Len didn"t hold back. "That wasn"t a dance," he said. "That was walking!" Bruno delivered the same message more softly, suggesting she add "more s***k."
Listening to the critique, Barton looked a little deflated, but not really surprised. Erin Andrews who was recently in the news for her $55 million court win did her best to cheer up the actress by fangirling all over her, but it didn"t seem to help much. "It"s really tough," Barton began. "He"s a tough teacher, which is a good thing, but it"s been a road." (It"s been a road? It"s only the first week!) This is not looking good.

Everyone Else
The rest of the pairs filled out the middle. Facts of Life star-turned-Real Housewife Kim Fields received mostly positive reviews from the judges for her cha-cha-cha with Sasha Farber. UFC fighter Paige VanZant and Mark Ballas pleasantly surprised the judges with their not-super-stiff foxtrot. Full House (and Fuller House) star Jodie Sweetin performed a respectable tango with partner Keo Motsepe, while Marla Maples (a TV personality and ex-Mrs. Donald Trump) and Tony Dovolani charmed everyone with their quickstep.
Rounding out the pack were Antonio Brown and Sharna Burgess, who made it through their quickstep with no major errors, as well as Von Miller with Whitney Carson, whose foxtrot was described as "soft and silky."
As for random celebrity facts that were revealed: Miller has a chicken tattoo, and Maples wishes people would stop asking her about her ex-husband"s hair. "His hair is fine!" she laughed.

23: Wanya Morris, Ginger Zee, Nyle DiMarco

THE PASSION | "Calling All Angels" | FOX BROADCASTING
I didnt want to create a show just for believers. I wanted to reach those who know nothing!
Adam Anders is talking about his latest project, The Passion,a creative and contemporary retelling of the Gospel narrative which will be broadcast live from New Orleans on Palm Sunday. Anders is executive producer and executive music producer for The Passion.At Foxs New Orleans studio, he talked to reporters about the project.
The son of Christian missionaries, Anders grew up attending church in Sweden. Here in the states he has enjoyed a successful Hollywood career selling more than 80 million albums and developing songs for films such as Rock of Agesand TVshows, including Glee.His work has earned four Grammy award nominations as well as two Peoples Choice Awards and two Golden Globe awards. With The Passionhe returns to his Christian roots, bringing his extensive talent and experience to bear in retelling the story of Jesus suffering and death.
Anders first got the idea for The Passionafter he was invited to attend a similar large-scale production in Holland. In that country, he reported, only 7percentof the population goes to church. In contrast, since the musical production of The Passionwas introduced there in 2011, it has been viewed by more than 50 percent of Hollands populace. Anders was excited to realize that this performance could bring the Gospel to people who might otherwise know nothing about it.
The Catholic Church [in the Netherlands] got behind it, helping to fund and promote it, Anders told me. It just took the country by storm. So when I saw that response in a country thats largely atheist, I thought This is perfect! Weve got to get it here!
The Passionfeatures a star-studded cast from a wide range of musical genres. Tyler Perry is the host and narrator. Cuban American singer/songwriter/actor Jencarlos Canela will play Jesus, clad in a beige trenchcoat. Chris Daughtry stars as Judas, and Trisha Yearwood portrays Jesus mother, Mary. British singer/songwriter Seal steps into the role of Pontius Pilate. Christian artist Michael W. Smith plays a disciple. And Nischelle Turner, entertainment correspondent for CNN and anchor/correspondent for Entertainment Tonightin effect plays herself as a reporter on the streets of New Orleans, interviewing people from the crowd during the live procession. Three musical groups a band from Los Angeles, a New Orleans jazz band and a choir of voices from local churches will perform, and there will be an appearance by New Orleans famed Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
The procession will originate at New Orleans iconic Superdome, where thousands of displaced persons took refuge during Hurricane Katrina. The relevance of New Orleans as a resurrected city is not lost on Anders. Tyler Perry, who grew up in New Orleans, will talk about it, he told me. The Superdome, where this starts, has become a symbol of suffering. There is, in peoples minds, that powerful visual of people trapped by the swirling floodwaters. So many lives have been changed for better and worse. The city lost thousands of people, some who died and some who left and never came back. My own brother lived here and never returned after Katrina. Now hes back here for the first time h**l be playing in the band.
From the Superdome, 1000 volunteers will help carry a 20-foot lighted cross, winding through the French Quarter, along Canal Street and Bourbon Street, past historic New Orleans landmarks. Finally, the cross will reach its destination Woldenberg Park, where a massive 10-story stage has been erected beside the Mississippi River, and where the musical performances will occur. As many as 40,000 are expected to join in, lining the procession route and filling the concert venue.
Asked whether hes concerned about inclement weather or unexpected incidents among the crowd, Anders was optimistic. Obviously, we have backup plans in place, in case things go horribly wrong. I just cant worry about the weather. Youd think, with a project like this, that G*d willsmile upon us and make sure the weather is good.
Besides Gods cooperation, Anders is depending on the logistical support of New Orleans police and politicians. Louisianas lieutenant governor is expected to participate in some way; New Orleans mayor will sing in the choir. The police will help control crowds and ensure that the processional cross is able to navigate busy intersections. There are train tracks to be crossed and helicopters flying overhead, and permission was required for service interruptions.
