Overnight Briefing & General Reality Check - Apr 19, 2017

Engaged:

KID ROCK is taking another stab at happily-ever-after. Sources close to the rocker tell TMZ he popped the question to AUDREY BERRY early this year, and she's wearing a monster rock on thatfinger. By the way, they've been together for nearly ten years! The "Cowboy" singer was previously married to PAMELA ANDERSON for four, short months back in 2006. (Lee)

Trash talk and satellite dish:

Rumors are swirling that CARMELO and LA LA ANTHONY's split ain't exactly amicable. "Multiple sources" tell TMZ that the Knicks baller is expecting a child with (ahem) an exotic dancer. Word is the mama-to-be works at a gentlemen's club in Manhattan and wants the athlete to pay his fair share for their little bundle of joy. E! News reports sources around Carmelo insist, "There is no truth to the pregnancy report." But yesterday, La La was spotted without her 20-carat diamond ring and it appears there will be no reconciliation in the works, no matter what. (Lee)

Stalking the catwalk:

BROOK POWER is the Playboy magazine Playmate of the Year for 2017.
Playboy Creative Director CHRIS DEACON tells Fox News she'll be on the cover of the upcoming May/June 2017 issue as well as getting an 11-page pictorial inside. She's the 58th Playmate of the Year for the magazine, and the first Native American Playmate to have the title. She grew up on the Hawaiian island of Oahu.

In the dumper:

Toilet clogged? Apparently this isn't the way to fix it.
Instead of using a plunger, GRACIE HENDERSON of New Caney, Texas, tried to fix a clog by sticking her hand down the commode. She ended up calling 9-1-1 when her hand got stuck. She explains, "I was just gonna see if I could feel a wad of toilet paper or something I could just pull out." Firefighters ended up removing the toilet and carrying it outside, along with Henderson. Once outside, they broke it open with a sledgehammer and set her free. (Still)
