Christian Post Report – Fans of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” will be tuning in for the reunion show as they hope to find answers to the following questions: Will Kim and Kyle settle their differences and restore their relationship as sisters? Will Brandi be lashing out at Lisa Vanderpump or Kyle or any of the other ladies that she has issues with? And will Eileen Davidson and Lisa Rinna be back for another season after all the craziness that they experienced during season 5?

In a new promo for the Bravo hit’s reunion show, Brandi’s dating life is going to discussed by the other housewives. It can be recalled that while they were in Amsterdam, Brandi went on a date with a younger man who knows Lisa V. and her family. In the video, Brandi admits that she got intimate with him and that they’ve been talking online and he wants to come to the U.S. to visit her.

However, Lisa V. claims that the same guy told her something very different, and here is when tension starts to build in the studio. She also said that it was unbecoming of Brandi to be with someone so much younger than her.

Brandi is not thrilled with this as she immediately lashes out at Lisa and accuses her of wanting the guy for herself. The ladies then turn on Brandi for what they think is a low blow.

That’s not all the drama that will happen on the reunion show as Lisa Rinna took to her Bravo blog and wrote that the reunion was “a nightmare of epic proportions, like a roller coaster you were trapped on for 10 hours”. A few weeks ago, some of the housewives took to social media to post that this season’s reunion show was the hardest and most exhausting so far compared to previous seasons.

Watch “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” reunion show on Tuesday, March 31 at 9 p.m. on Bravo.

Tekken 7 new characters Jin Kazama, Devil Jin, and Josie Rizal

Christian Post Report – “Tekken” executive producer and game director Katsuhiro Harada revealed three characters for “Tekken 7.”

Both Jin Kazama and Devil Jin have returned to the series and will be added to the game on March 31st and April 7, respectively.

Kazama has improved moves with more powerful punches and strikes, and his fighting style is similar to that of a professional boxer. Meanwhile, Devil Jin has laser-fire eyes and though the character looks a lot like Kazama, it has a different fighting style.

Meanwhile, the new character which Harada introduced is named Josie Rizal, the series’ first fighter of Filipino descent. Designed by Mari Shimazaki of Bayonetta fame, the character’s name is a nod to the Philippines’ national hero, Jose Rizal. The character’s clothing is also based on the Philippine flag’s colors, which are red, blue, yellow with a bit of white detailing, and she specializes in both kickboxing and Eskrima, with a bit of muay thai thrown in.

Last year, it was announced that the game will introduce other characters from different parts of the world, and new characters Katarina Alves (Brazilian) and Shaheen (Saudi Arabian) were added to the roster, and both are designed as beginner friendly characters.

Several characters will also be speaking in their native languages, so Leo and Lili will be speaking German and French respectively for the first time in the series, while Claudio, Katarina, and Shaheen will speak their native Italian, Portuguese, and Arabic respectively.

“Tekken 7” has already been released in arcades in Japan on March 18 and the game reportedly has already gained a steady fan base. Bandai Namco has yet to announce when the game will hit other platforms in other territories. The game is expected to make an appearance at EVO 2015.

Jill Duggar posts this picture of her and Derick Dillard to celebrate the one year anniversary of their engagement

Christian Post Report – As they eagerly await the birth of their first child, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard celebrated the one year anniversary of their engagement on Sunday, March 29, by taking to Instagram to post throwback pictures.

“One year ago, she said yes,” Derick wrote. “Happy engagement anniversary to my beautiful bride @jillmdillard I love you Jill Michelle! #newlyweds.”

Jill also took to the photo sharing app and wrote, “One year ago today, the sweetest man in the whole world asked me to marry him. I said, ‘yes, totally!’…now, 9 months into marriage we await the arrival of our little #babydilly.”

Baby Dilly, as the couple refers to their unborn child, was scheduled to arrive on March 25. On Friday, Derick took to Instagram to share another photo update of his wife holding up a chalkboard with the words “40 weeks and 2 days.” He also took to Twitter to announce that he can hardly wait for his son’s arrival as he tweeted, “40 weeks: time to make like a baby and ‘head out’ anytime now, son #BabyDilly.”

Jill has previously said that she doesn’t think that her baby will come anytime this month. The 23-year-old, who is a trained midwife, recently told People that she has named April 5 as her second due date because “first time moms often go a week and a half over” their expected due dates.

The “19 Kids and Counting” star was even able to fit in a little volunteer work over the weekend as she shared an Instagram shot of her volunteering at the Compassion Center in Springdale, AR. The center is a non-profit that “funds, resources, and supports hunger, foster care and adoption, life training and immigration transition” according to the center’s official Instagram account.

Lecrae to Open for Comedian Kevin Hart at Essence Fest 2015

Lecrae poses with his award for best contemporary Christian music performance/song for “Messengers” backstage at the 57th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California, February 8, 2015.

Grammy-award winning rapper Lecrae will open for the wildly successful comedian Kevin Hart at Essence Fest 2015 which takes place on July 2 in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Superdome.

Lecrae celebrated the performance slot and spoke on it during a recent interview with Essence.

“I’m someone who appreciates the culture — someone who has grown up loving black music and appreciative of everything from Frankie Beverly and Maze to Kendrick Lamar, and then having those firm faith foundations. I’m somebody who cares about you, who wants you to enjoy yourself,” Lecrae said.

Hart, who stars in the new film “Get Hard” with Will Ferrell, will perform at this year’s Essence Festival where Lecrae will open for him at 7 p.m. The rapper also commented on some of the other performers who will be at this year’s event.

“You deal with people like Anthony Hamilton and you get that vibe. But it’s R&B/soul. Within hip-hop, you really haven’t had anybody you feel like, ‘Man, that’s my brother. He’s not just here to turn up all the way on me,” Lecrae added. “He wants to encourage me in my relationship, he wants to be a positive influence in my life and yet, we can have a good time.”

Along with Hart and Lecrae, other big names in the conscious hip-hop community will be on stage that day including Kendrick Lamar, who recently released his sophomore album To Pimp a Butterfly.

Lecrae labeled Kendrick’s latest album as “high art” during an interview with Christian music website Breathecast.

“Kendrick’s album is high art. With high art and high story, you gotta take you time and really digest it,” Lecrae told BC. “It’s not something that you can just casually listen to and say, ‘Alright, this is what I think.'”

Asus Zenfone 3 Rumors, Specs. Next-Gen Device Tipped to Get Fingerprint Sensors

Christian Post Report – As one of the most popular handsets today, the Asus Zenfone 2 lineup of smartphones has been doing well in the announcement department.

A couple of months after they were announced, the devices have rolled out in the company’s home market in Taiwan, as well as in China. Soon, more Android fans in Asian markets would be able to get their hands on the high-end device.

However, even before the Asus Zenfone 2 phones make an impact in the Western market, a company executive said in a press event that their upcoming devices would be equipped with the latest fad in the tech industry – fingerprint scanners.

While fingerprint sensors have been with electronic devices in as early as the 1990s, it was popularized by Apple when it included the technology in its iPhone 5s handset.

Now, the Cupertino manufacturer includes fingerprint-scanning capabilities to all of its latest devices.

As for Asus, the Taiwan-based company may be following Apple’s footsteps in this department. Chief executive Jerry Shen of Asus told the media last week that the Zenfone 3 will have fingerprint scanners.

In the report by GSM Arena, Shen also hinted that the Zenfone 2 devices will get fresher versions later this year, some of which would boast fingerprint scanners as well.

Since Apple began using fingerprint scanners, it has enabled mobile devices to make secure payments online. Fingerprint-detection sensors also increase a phone’s security.

Phone Arena’s first look at the Blackberry Passport

Christian Post Report – Even during Blackberry’s heyday, it was working with other brands in order to promote and expand its marketing further. One of those companies that the Canada-based manufacturer has been working with is Porsche.

Last year, the mobile phone maker announced its latest luxury device. Finally, that new device has hit the Canadian market. According to a report from GSM Arena, the Blackberry Porsche Design P’9983 can now be purchased from Blackberry’s home market for $1,950 CAD, or about $1,545.

Like other Porsche Design smartphones, the P’9983 is oozing with appeal. The phone’s entire back is reportedly made out of genuine leather, while the Blackberry device’s Porsche Design is made out of stainless steel.

For interested buyers in Canada, they should definitely checkout Blackberry’s online catalogue to check the phone’s specs.

Blackberry Porsche Design P’9983 boasts the interesting combination of touch and type features. The device gets a 3.1-inch display with 720 x 720 resolution, 2GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon S4 Plus chip.

Rounding up the specs sheet are the 8MP primary camera at the back, a 2MP front shooter, 2,100mAh battery, and a limited PIN that would unlock the device’s messaging options.

The Blackberry Porsche Design P’9983 may be too expensive for interested consumers, but it is still another marketing ploy to assure its fan base that it is still relevant in the business.

HTC One M9+ Rumors, Release Date: New Android Handset Coming Soon, Alleged Images Leak

The HTC One M9

Christian Post Report – The HTC One M9 may be the current flagship for the Taiwan-based manufacturer, but it would not take long until people shift their attention to the One M9 Plus.

According to recent reports, the Android-powered handset will be announced at an HTC event in China on April 8. It also shows that the One M9 Plus will first become available in China, and soon other Asian markets.

Now, a report from GSM Arena revealed that the upcoming HTC smartphone was again spotted, this time on social media.

In the report, several leaked images of the device were allegedly posted by @upleaks. The image shows the phone’s striking similarities to the One M9.

However, there are a few notable differences while looking at the handset’s design. First, the 20.7MP camera sensor of the One M9 Plus is a circle while the one in the One M9 is more like a square.

Another difference is HTC’s choice to include a physical home button in the One M9 Plus. But because the original design had BoomSound speakers in both the top and bottom portions of the device, the manufacturer had to ‘cut’ the bottom speaker grill into two, in order to make way for the home button.

Other rumored specs of the device include a 5.2-inch display with QHD or 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution, 3GB of RAM, and two versions based on its chipset – either a Snapdragon 810 or a MediaTek MT6795.

Aside from the One M9 Plus, another HTC device that is making the rounds in the rumor mill is the One E9.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 6 News: George R.R. Martin Will Not Write a Single Script for Season 6

A sneak peek at season 5 of Game of Thrones

Christian Post Report – With Season 5 about to start in April, the “Game of Thrones” series on HBO is gearing up for its next season.

Unfortunately for some fans of the series and its creator George R.R. Martin, even season 6 may be a disappointment as the author recently announced that he is not penning a single episode for the upcoming season. Sharing the news in his blog, Martin says that he is not involved in scriptwriting this time because he would like to spend the time finishing his next book of the series “The Winds of Winter.” Martin was also not involved in season 5.

Martin wrote the series of novels called “A Song of Ice and Fire” on which “The Game of Thrones” series is based. The most recent one was entitled “A Dance with Dragons” published four years ago. “The Winds of Winter” will be the sixth novel of the series.

“Writing a season six script would cost me a month’s work on WINDS, and maybe as much as six weeks, and I cannot afford that,” he told The Huffington Post, he has already cancelled originally planned appearances in the World Fantasy Convention and the San Diego Comic-Con so that he can write.

He also said that the scriptwriting duties for the show were pretty much covered with D.B. Weiss, David Benioff and Bryan Cogman in charge.

The report also mentions another reason why Martin is frantically trying to finish the sixth book. Most of the material used in seasons 1 to 4 of the series is said to be closely linked his novels. There was an earlier acknowledgement that season 5 will not follow the novels strictly which “Martin hoped would not happen.” The show’s producers D.B. Weiss and David Benioff also acknowledged that the show “will spoil the endings of the novels eventually.”

If he gets to finish the book, the report also says that this might give Martin some time to write for season 7, or what is supposed to be the final season of the series.

Nene Leakes and Kim Zolciak to Star in New Reality Show

Nene Leakes and Kim Zolciak

Christian Post Report – After clashing during the first five seasons of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak are reuniting as the two will be hitting the road for a new reality show. The show titled “NeNe and Kim: The Road to Riches” will see the two ladies leaving Atlanta and making their way across the country.

Years after they bickered on RHOA, the two first reconciled in 2013, after they both tweeted about having an emotional conversation where they declared a truce.

At the time, Leakes wrote on Facebook, “Couldn’t believe I had the best chat with Kim Zolciak yesterday. Then took a moment to reflect and it made me cry. This is too much.”

In a recent interview with E! News, Leakes and Zolciak said that they couldn’t wait to work together again.

“Well, one of the things I’m most excited about is working with Kim, just the two of us,” Leakes said. “I just left ‘Housewives’ where I was working with like, six monsters.”

Though the two had their ups and downs in the past, Leakes said that they’re now in a good place.

“Working on a show like [Real Housewives] tears friendships apart,” she revealed. “It’s hard.”

“It will be good not having anyone interfering with NeNe and I,” said Zolciak. “We’re back to where we started 12 years ago, no other noise. No other people talking nonsense. It will just be her and I and we have a really good time.”

Both ladies said that being on the new show is an opportunity for them to get away from the “Real Housewives” drama.

“People get tired of watching the drama,” said Zolciak. “We’re just going to have fun. It will be good for me to get away, all the kiddos, get a break.”

No premiere date has been announced for “NeNe and Kim: The Road to Riches” yet.

Vanessa Hudgens Reveals the Struggles She Faced While Dating Zac Efron

Christian Post Report – Before there was Robsten or Jelena, there was Zanessa, the teenage dream pairing of Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens. The two met on the set of the Disney TV movie “High School Musical” back in 2005, which gave way to two sequels. The two embarked in a real-life romance for four years, which ended in December 2010.

Now, Hudgens is opening up about her struggles while dating the “Charlie St. Cloud” actor. In an interview with New York Times, the actress said that there were times when she was “mean” during their relationship, not because of Efron, but because of his female fans who tended to get overzealous at times.

“I went through a phase when I was really mean because I was so fed up,” said Hudgens. “Girls were running after him, and I was giving them death stares. Then I realized that’s not what that’s about. ‘Spread the love, be a good person, they support you, be nice.'”

Since then, the actress has moved on with fellow actor Austin Butler. Not only has she found love with him, but he has also been instrumental in her having a renewed passion for Christianity.

Hudgens said that while she was born a Catholic, she “never felt connected to it.” The couple attend services at Hillsong, and the actress said, “It feels like Arcade Fire—it’s epic like that. They really focus on you having your own personal relationship with Jesus, which is wonderful.”

Hudgens is currently starring in the Broadway version of “Gigi” and she will be appearing as Rizzo in the Fox live TV airing of “Grease” in 2016.
