Zach Vella’s Wife, Michelle Campbell Mason, Is a Jewelry Designer

If you’re a fan of the Million Dollar Listing franchise, then you’re likely familiar with real estate developer Zach Vella. He’s made multiple appearances on Million Dollar Listing: New York and even popped up on Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles in August 2020. The NYC native is kind of a big deal in the real estate industry — and naturally, Bravo viewers have wondered: Does Zach Vella have a wife?

As the CEO of Vella Group, LLC, and Skylark Capital Management, LLC, Zach has developed properties in major cities across the nation — including New York City, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami. His work is pretty spread out, obviously. But Zach seems to manage juggling his busy career and his family life (which includes a wife and two children) pretty well.

Let’s take a closer look at the identity of Zach’s wife, shall we?

Zach Vella’s proposal to his wife was seriously romantic.

Zach proposed to Michelle after they had been dating for two and a half years.

“It was Christmas Eve in New York, and we were planning a date night out at the Italian restaurant Marea,” Michelle told Vogue in September 2015. “As I was getting ready, Zach asked me to meet him in the living room of our apartment for a drink at 7:00 p.m. sharp, which was a bit fishy, as neither of us are punctual people.” 

Michelle walked downstairs to the sound of Frank Sinatra playing, candles burning, and champagne chilling. That’s when Zach suggested they each open one gift ahead of dinner. When it was Michelle’s turn, he gave her a large, wrapped box — and inside it was another smaller box.

“In that box was another box, and in my head I was really hoping it wasn’t earrings. He took the box from me, got down on his knee, and asked if I would marry him,” Michelle explained. “I was crying so hard, it was difficult to get out my answer.” 

The newly engaged couple celebrated with drinks at The Carlyle. “It was the most memorable New York winter night,” she told the publication.

Nikola Vucevic And The Magic Stunned The Bucks In A Dominant Game 1 Win

The Bucks hadn’t looked especially good in the Disney Bubble restart, but the expectation was that when the playoffs started and they squared off with the 8-seeded Magic, who limped home with a 1-5 record in their final six games of the seeding round, they would get back to their dominant ways.

Orlando, however, had different ideas, and much like last year’s first round when they took Game 1 off of the eventual champion Toronto Raptors, the Magic looked terrific in the opener against Milwaukee, stunning the Bucks in a 122-110 win.

Despite being without Aaron Gordon, Orlando jumped on the Bucks after falling to an early deficit thanks to an 18-2 run that saw Milwaukee sloppily turning the ball over and unable to prevent the Magic from getting open looks, as the likes Markelle Fultz and Gary Clark, both of whom had 15 points on the night, hit big shots early.

The one player the Magic know they can count on for production any given night is Nikola Vucevic, and he stepped up in a big way, scoring 35 points (a playoff career-high) to go along with 14 rebounds as he lit up the Bucks defense to the tune of a 15-for-24 shooting night and hitting 5-of-8 from three-point range.

The Magic took a 10-point lead into the break and, as expected, the Bucks came out hot to start the third quarter, erasing that deficit fairly quickly, but Orlando refused to fold, building back a 13-point lead entering the fourth quarter. In the final period, seemingly every time the Bucks got a couple buckets to inch closer to Orlando, someone on the Magic, from D.J. Augustin (11 points) to Terrance Ross (18 points), hit a big shot to keep Milwaukee at arms length.

For the Bucks, it was Giannis Antetokounmpo doing a little of everything with 31 points, 17 rebounds, and seven assists, but he got little in the way of support from the rest of his teammates. Khris Middleton struggled mightily to the tune of just 14 points on 4-of-12 shooting, showing visible frustration late as he was just unable to find his rhythm. As a team, Milwaukee shot just 14-of-42 (31.7%) from three-point range, with Giannis leading the way at a 3-of-7 clip. It was a woeful performance from just about everyone else on the Bucks, which they obviously need to clean up along the way.

The dagger, as it were, came in the form of back-to-back threes Evan Fournier, who was quiet much of the night before scoring all nine of his points in the fourth, buried two straight threes to extend the Magic lead to 118-102.

The question now is how do the Bucks respond to a rather humiliating loss. This is a team that needs to exorcise some postseason demons of the past and this kind of loss can either serve as a wake up call to bring back the dominant team from the regular season or sow seeds of doubt and a “here we go again” feeling. There’s much to work on for Milwaukee on both ends, where their offense can get painfully stagnant and they have yet to find the defensive cohesion that made them the league’s best on that end in the regular season.

For Orlando, it’ll be all about keeping these vibes going into the next game. They shot 39 percent from three-point range and against a Bucks defense that is happy to provide second and third options with looks, continuing that is the recipe for winning. Despite Giannis’ productive night, they did well keeping Milwaukee out of transition and limited Giannis to just nine free throw attempts, as Steve Clifford had a masterful gameplan in place for the Bucks and their MVP.

Is Max Strong the Latest Addition to the Cast of ‘Siesta Key’?

According to a few Siesta Key fans, Kelsey Owens has been spending time with a mystery man, and no, it’s not Garrett Miller. As a theory has it, the TV personality has been hanging out with Max Strong, an animal sanctuary worker and self-described educator, whose wild Instagram aesthetic could easily put people like Kody Antle to shame. 

So, what’s there to know about Max? Could he be the newest addition to the cast of Siesta Key?

So, is Max Strong the latest addition to the cast of ‘Siesta Key’?

Max made his first-ever appearance on a Season 3 episode of Siesta Key, titled “I Didn’t Even Know That You Were That Into Bathing Suits,” and fans have been obsessed with him ever since. 

As the episode revealed, he and Kelsey might have attended a New Year’s celebration together — and there’s a chance that they even exchanged a not-so-innocent peck once the countdown to midnight was over.

According to a fan theory referenced by Reality Titbit, it’s possible that Kelsey and Max embarked on a ski vacation to Canada at the end of 2019, which is where they celebrated New Year’s Eve as well. 

As a hypothesis has it, there’s a chance that the events portrayed on Siesta Key aren’t always in sync with the day-to-day life of its cast. According to Reality Titbit, it’s probable that Max and Kelsey headed back to Florida just in time for the shooting of “I Didn’t Even Know That You Were That Into Bathing Suits.”

Max Strong is a passionate wildlife conservationist and, potentially, the next star of ‘Siesta Key.’

According to his LinkedIn page, Max graduated from the University of Kentucky in 2016, having spent four years studying a Business Management and Finance degree.

During his time at the university, he partook in a range of extracurricular activities as well. He was a member of the football team and the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, while he also volunteered at the UK Kentucky Children’s Hospital.  

After finishing college, Max went on to work as a valet at Paul Miller Ford. After just a few months, he was promoted to the role of a car salesman. 

As a lifelong sports and wildlife aficionado, Max started posting about his adventures involving snorkeling, wakeboarding, and sailing, and hanging out with tiger cubs as early as December 2014. 

However, he started to pursue his interest in nature conversation with more seriousness after graduating from the University of Kentucky. According to Reality Titbit, he quit his day job to take care of wild animals a while ago — and he hasn’t looked back since.

Needless to add, Max’s Instagram profile is filled to the brim with snaps that see him play with exotic animals. 

He often takes selfies with tigers of all ages and sizes, while he also likes to document the new friends he makes on his travels, including turtles, swimming pigs, monkeys, and far beyond. 

The exact nature of his relationship with Kelsey is currently unknown. 

However, it’s perhaps not entirely irrational to assume that he had some influence on the young socialite. Kelsey has paid visits to several zoos and animal sanctuaries in the course of the past few months, including the Hollywild Animal Park, the Zoological Wildlife Foundation, and the Carson Springs Wildlife Conservation Foundation.

Rich Brian Escapes His Problems In The Defiant Video For ‘Don’t Care’

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vR2lPExR00]

Rich Brian follows up his quarantine hit “Bali” with a defiant new single, “Don’t Care.” The song, produced by Brian himself, features a percolating, synth-heavy beat, over which Brian ruminates about haters and the like, brushing them off with the confidence and swagger he’s developed since making his way into the rap game all the way from Jakarta, Indonesia.

While the song’s hook acknowledges the troubles that pester him, Brian’s warbling chorus declares his freedom from stressing over them. “I don’t really care what they say,” he croons. “It’s just another day.” The uplifting track also features a music video that finds Brian wandering California’s Zuma Ridge Trail at dusk, getting lost in his thoughts and distancing himself from the anxieties of fast-paced modern life.

“Don’t Care,” along with “Bali,” “Changes,” and “Love In My Pocket,” is presumed to appear on Brian’s upcoming EP, 1999. It’ll be his first project since 2019’s The Sailor and is set for release August 25. Brian also made waves this summer with his “Tokyo Drift Freestyle” video, borrowing the beat from the theme song of the popular film franchises’ third installment and filming himself around his house as he isolated himself during the early days of the US outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Brian was also a critical part of 88Rising’s fifth anniversary livestream and its accompanying film.

Watch to Rich Brian’s “Don’t Care” video above.

Anderson Cooper Destroyed The MyPillow Guy Over His ‘Snake Oil’ Covid Cure

Mike Lindell is the CEO and founder of MyPillow, and more importantly, not a medical doctor. So when the very vocal Trump supporter started touting an oleander extract as a “miracle cure for COVID-19,” skepticism is the proper response, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper brought plenty of it during an on-air confrontation with Lindell on Tuesday.

In short, oleander is highly toxic. It is literally poison. So when Lindell tried to argue with Cooper that it’s the “miracle of all time,” and that he’s safely tested it on a a thousand people, the CNN anchor wasn’t having any of it. After noting that Lindell has a direct financial interest in pitching the “miracle cure” to the president in an effort to get it approved by the FDA, Cooper went off on the MyPillow CEO. Via The Daily Beast:

“You have no medical background,” Cooper exclaimed as Lindell objected. “You are not a scientist. A guy called in April saying he had this product. You are now on the board and going to make money from the sale of this product.”

“The reason he reached out to you is because you have the ear of the president and could get a meeting with the president and you stand to make money from it,” the veteran newsman added. “How do you sleep at night?!”

It only got more brutal from there. Cooper went on to call Lindell a “snake-oil salesman” and highlighted his F-rating with the Better Business Bureau, along with MyPillow’s recent settlement for “deceptive marketing.” In response, Lindell said he’s merely doing what Jesus wants him to do, which went over real well with Cooper:

“Jesus wants you promoting remedies that are never tested?” Cooper shot back.

“Ask yourself, why would I ruin my reputation?” Lindell countered.

“Money,” the anchor replied.

While the author has debunked this, the memes suggest otherwise. Here are 15 of our favorites.

The Starbucks Menu for Fall 2020 Is Coming With Major Anticipation

Before introducing the fall 2020 menu, Starbucks is closing out summer in the tastiest way possible, with two brand new tropical green drinks that became available on Tuesday, Aug. 18. According to a press release, the first drink, called the Kiwi Starfruit Starbucks Refresher, blends starfruit flavored juice and real kiwi in a cup, which is shaken with ice, making for a super satisfying sip.

The second beverage is called the Star Drink, and it’s simply just a creamier version of the Kiwi Starfruit Starbucks Refresher, combining starfruit juice, kiwi, and a hefty helping of coconut milk. Order both of the chain’s latest creations on Starbucks Delivers to avoid leaving the house, and make sure to tip your delivery person extra during these tough times.

We still know very little about when we’ll get to try Starbucks’ fall 2020 offerings, and seriously, the anticipation is killing us. Until then, though, we’ll be sipping our troubles away with the Kiwi Starfruit Refresher and the Star Drink. They’re the perfect companions for our fall countdown.
