Farrah Abraham & Simon Saran: Engaged?!

Earlier today, we told you about unconfirmed reports that  Farrah Abraham is pregnant with Simon Saran’s baby. We’re always skeptical of rumors that seem to have originated in an Instagram comment thread, and Simon has already revealed in an interview that Farrah’s definitively not knocked up. But if you think that’ll prevent the spread of more wild rumors about her love life, then you don’t know the Internet! Abraham and Saran are currently in Jamaica, where they’re celebrating Farrah’s 26th birthday. Yes, it may seem like Farrah’s been irritating mankind since the advent of television, but in reality, she’s only just now entering her late 20s. Anyway, it seems that last night Simon decided to foot the bill for once, and he treated Farrah to a candlelit dinner on the beach on  Montego Bay. Prior to the meal, Simon set the mood by leading Farrah down a curiously dong-shaped lighted pathway. Fans could be forgiven for the thinking the moment was leading up to a proposal. Farrah Abraham: Dinner in Jamaica In fact, many of them jumped to that conclusion, despite the fact that the clip ended with no such climax. Farrah bought her own engagement ring  almost a year ago, so we guess it’s understandable that fans would be eagerly seeking out hints that Simon is looking to pop the question. Simon didn’t help matters by responding to the rumors with an obnoxiously coy response. “This was just her birthday surprise,” he wrote in response to the comments. And that would’ve been fine, if he hadn’t added a winking smiley face emoji at the end. But if you know Farrah, you know that she’s not the type to hide big news from the public. In fact, she doesn’t hide anything from the public. This is a girl who Snapchats brushing her teeth and openly muses about her daughter’s sex tape . There is absolutely no way that Farrah would get engaged and not immediately take out ads in every major newspaper in America. We’re sure Simon will eventually succumb to the pressure and put Farrah’s own ring on her finger, but it almost certainly didn’t happen in Jamaica last night. Watch Teen Mom online to relive every moment of the ridiculousness that is Simon and Farrah’s relationship. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs

Iskra Lawrence is More Irresistible than Ever: LOOK!

Iskra Lawrence is an absolutely stunning plus-size model, and she’s taken to Instagram to share the recipe for her favorite breakfast. Complete with a photo of it, and her, of course. You’ll have to tear your eyes off of her gorgeous form to actually see the food, by the way. For the millionth time, it’s so weird to us that our society categorizes Iskra Lawrence as “plus-size.” Not because she’s beautiful, because women of all sizes are beautiful, but because she doesn’t seem that “plus.” At all. Models have a weird assumed default size, basically. That’s another great look, to be sure, but maybe Kendall Jenner with her hot pics  should be categorized as “minus-size.” Just something to think about. Anyway, Iskra is a total sweetheart and didn’t just heartlessly show off her food in a modern day Torment of Tantalus. In her instagram captions, she shared the entire recipe: -fry or poach an egg -toast two pieces of sourdough bread (“use whatever bread you’d like that’s just my fave”) -instead of butter etc she uses coconut oil -then mash up a whole or half an avocado (depending on how hungry she is) -squeeze some 1/4 lime or lemon juice into the avocado -spread it on top of the toast and sprinkle salt and pepper and pine nuts -when she has tomatoes she likes to cut up a few and add those Just to clarify, the photo shows that the egg goes on top of the avocado spread. Admittedly, it’s a little elaborate, especially for breakfast. Who actually has time to sit down and eat breakfast every morning? How did people not run out of time when they were, like, nine? But if you do have time, this looks amazing. Not the tomatoes part, of course — we love ourselves — but the rest. The tomatoes were almost an afterthought anyway. All of the joy of eating guacamole without the sudden realization that you’ve devoured two bags of chips and one of your fingers. Obviously, Iskra’s  heartless for promoting this — doesn’t she know that Millennials will never own homes if they keep eating avocado on toast? We joke, of course, since we apparently have more basic math skills than a certain Australian millionaire. But in all seriousness, that sounds absolutely delicious, and we’ll have to try it … with a few modifications for taste. Would anyone else totally watch an Iskra Lawrence cooking show? Just a thought. View Slideshow: Iskra Lawrence: Meet the Instagram Model With the Kardashian-Sized Booty

Herd Mentality: Study Proves That Chubby Lumpkins Are Happiest When Sticking Together

Birds of a feather flock together…especially at KFC, apparently. Study Finds That “Fat People” Are Happiest In Similar Weight Groups A new study has proven that larger people are happiest when they remain in community groups of like-weighted individuals. However that contentement doesn’t necessarily come from the ability to hit the buffet together, but moreso from the lack of judgement and stigma placed on them by having skinnier peers . Via MailOnline : Overweight people can be just as happy as their skinny friends – as long as they are surrounded by others of a similar shape. How your figure compares with others in the community is key when it comes to feeling good about yourself, a study has found. The finding could explain why more than three-quarters of people in some towns are overweight or obese, as couch potato lifestyles and unhealthy diets become the norm. The U.S. researchers found most people are absolutely content – even if they are out of shape – as long as most of those around them are wobbling about as well. Sociologist Philip Pendergast said: ‘The most interesting finding for us was in U.S. counties where obesity is particularly prevalent, being obese has very little negative effect on one’s life satisfaction. ‘In addition, we found being ‘normal weight’ has little benefit in counties where obesity is especially common. ‘This illustrates the importance of looking like the people around you when it comes to satisfaction with life.’ He added that obesity does not seem to be the main reason obese people are less satisfied with life. Rather, it is the ‘stigmatisation’ of being abnormal that causes them to feel low. Well this certainly explains that one group of big chicks always in the club together! But in all seriousness, we have got to stop thinking this way. If a group of fat friends inspire each other to stay fat…couldn’t at least one fit friend change the dynamic?

Might be time to play nice with the pooches…. via NBC News A Florida man was shot and wounded over the weekend by his dog, who walked away without charges, police said. Gregory Dale Lanier, 35, of Frostproof, Fla., told police Saturday that he and his dog were in their truck in nearby Sebring when the dog kicked a gun that was on the truck’s floor, the Highlands Tribune newspaper reported. The gun went off, shooting Lanier in the leg, Sebring police said. Lanier wasn’t seriously injured, said Sebring Police Cmdr. Steve Carr, who actually said police didn’t arrest the dog because the investigation was pending, the Tribune reported. In all seriousness, people really need to start being more cautious about where they keep loaded guns.

Reid Alexander Schepis Charged With Attempted Murder of Fabio Malpeso

In a story eerily reminiscent of the Amanda Knox case, Reid Alexander Schepis has been charged with the attempted murder of Fabio Malpeso. Officials say foreign exchange student Schepis, 20, stabbed his sleeping friend Malpeso, 19, after a long night of partying at the Rome club Atlantic. Stabbed him 25 times in an alcohol- and drug-fueled rage, allegedly. Both men are from New Jersey, and students at John Cabot University, a private university in Rome. Reid Alexander told investigators he experimented with drugs – specifically, ecstasy – for the first time the night of the incident, mixing it with booze. He said he cannot remember what happened, but authorities say he walked into the room where Malpeso was sleeping and stabbed him repeatedly with a kitchen knife. Vincenzo Comi, representing Schepis, said he was “profoundly upset” in the wake of the incident, and tearily apologized “for what he had done” when confronted. “Fabio and Reid were the best of friends,” he said. “They were both in their second year of university but knew each other from before. Even their parents knew each other.” Schepis remains under house arrest, authorities said. Malpeso remains hospitalized in the intensive care unit after doctors operated on damage to his lungs in the incident. “He is obviously still under observation but he is awake and talking,” Police Chief Lorenzo Suraci said. “He even asked about the situation and what is happening.” In an eerie twist, the stabbing occurred five years to the day British student Meredith Kercher was discovered stabbed to death in Perugia, Italy. Amanda Knox and her boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito were initially convicted of the crime, but later acquitted and released after years of legal battles.
