Jenelle Evans: I Was a Teenage Sex Addict!

As you may have heard by now, Jenelle Evans has published a memoir, and in keeping with her image as the most reckless and rebellious member of the Teen Mom cast, Evans has loaded the book with revelations that seem intended to shock. The problem with the book is that it mostly consists of entries culled from a diary Jenelle kept as a teenager. Now, teenage diaries aren’t typically known as repositories for level-headed contemplation of life’s great mysteries, and Jenelle being Jenelle, her journal is far more dramatic than most. As a result, the 25-year-old is already back-tracking on some of the wilder claims made in her memoir. In the book, Jenelle opened up about suicidal thoughts she suffered as a teen. This week, she revealed that she never actually contemplated taking her own life. Also in the book, Jenelle wrote about her pill popping habit . It turns out she was referring to one occasion in which she swallowed several decongestants in hopes of achieveing a hallucinatory state. A very dangerous thing to do, and certainly something that could’ve had serious repercussions, but not the sort of thing that comes to mind when one hears the phrase “pill-popping habit.” “From ages 14-17 I was addicted to sex,” reads a journal entry from the memoir Read Between The Lines: Diary of a Teenage Mom . “I didn’t care who it was with or if it was unprotected until I got pregnant at 17.” It seems Jenelle briefly believed she was experiencing some sort of extreme evolutionary imperative, and the universe was simply insisting that she pass on her crazy-ass genes. In the book, she writes that the constant need for sex subsided after she gave birth to her first son. Now, she doubts that she was ever addicted to sex at all, and believes she was probably just starved for affection. “I don’t think I was really addicted to sex,” she said this week. “I think I was addicted to love. I would do anything to keep a guy with me, so I used sex as a manipulative tool. I gave them what they wanted to get them to stay with me. I wasn’t a sex addict so much as a love junkie.” Yet again, it seems like she could have left out some of the hyperbole, but in all likelihood, her hand was forced by a publisher looking for melodrama. Jenelle has endured numerous hardships in her young life, and we in no way intend to dismiss her addictions and possible mental illnesses. But perhaps publishing unedited excerpts from the teenage diary of a woman who’s prone to slanderous comments, exaggeration, and flat-out lying wasn’t the smartest move.

Meghan Markle to Be Exposed as Fraud in Sister’s Tell-All?

From the time the world learned that Meghan Markle is dating Prince Harry , the actress has been subjected to relentless scrutiny of her personal life. One reason, of course, is the fact that Meghan is dating one of the world’s most eligible bachelors, and there’s a certain elevation in visibility that comes with such a relationship. But there are those who believe that there’s more going on here than the tabloid press simply placing Harry’s new girlfriend under a microscope for the sole reason that she’s Harry’s new girlfriend. From the moment she entered the spotlight, there were rumblings about Meghan’s past, particularly with regard to her family. Meghan’s half-sister has spoken out about their relationship, claiming they parted ways years ago, in large part due to the actress’ narcissistic, social-climbing ways. Over the past few weeks, Samantha Markle has taken to calling Meghan out on social media, alleging that her recent, highly-publicized humanitarian work is nothing more than a publicity stuns. “It’s about basic human consideration. She has none. What has she donated to India? Talk is cheap,” Samantha tweeted recently. “People who are starving and too poor to afford sanitary napkins don’t need a voice they need money and they need donations.” Unfortunately for Meghan, it seems her sister has no intention of holding off on publicly discussing their damaged relationship. In fact, it appears she’s just getting warmed up. This week, Samantha announced a deal to publish a memoir with the working title of  The Diary of Princess Pushy’s Sister . We’re guessing the book’s portrayal of Meghan (aka Princess Pushy) is less than flattering. Meghan has a lot of haters on social media, but she also has a lot of defenders, and Samantha has been taking flak for trash-talking her sister out of jealousy. The elder Markle sister has been firing back at her critics, claiming that envy has nothing to do with it: “My book deals with very important social issues and it has nothing to do with jealousy,” she tweeted yesterday. If that’s really the case, Samantha might want to workshop that title. The phrase “Princess Pushy” doesn’t exactly bring to mind an ultra-woke treatise on Third World social justice issues.

We’ll Stand For This: The Negro National Anthem Performed At Ludacris’ Celeb Charity Basketball Game

The Negro National Anthem Performed At Ludacris’ Charity Basketball Game Ludacris is taking a stand of sorts after Colin Kaepernick’s silent protest against the National Anthem.

Colin Kaepernick Kneels During Anthem, Makes $1 Million Pledge

As a starting quarterback, Colin Kaepernick often bolted from the pocket at the first sign of pressure from the defensive line. As a controversial protestor, however, Colin Kaepernick isn’t going anywhere in the face of ongoing criticism. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback refused to stand during the playing of the national anthem prior to a preseason football game last week. After cameras found Kaepernick glued to the bench, he explained to reporters that he felt a responsibility to take some kind action against racial injustice in America. “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” Kaepernick said, adding: “To me, this is bigger than football and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. “There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder.” In subsequent comments, Kaepernick brought up the recent deaths of African-American citizens in confrontations with white police officers and said he would continue his protest until he saw “significant change.” And he meant it. On Thursday evening, Kaepernick kneeled on the sideline while the Star-Spangled Banner played overhead prior to his team’s matchup against the San Diego Chargers. In this case, Petty Officer 1st Class Steven Powell sang the anthem, as 240 military officers held the U.S. flag on a night when the home team hosted the 28th annual Salute to the Military night. But the quarterback wasn’t alone this time around. Teammate Eric Reid also dropped to a knee. Elsewhere on Thursday, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane refused to stand during the national anthem before his game against the Oakland Raiders. “I’ll continue to sit,” Kaepernick said earlier this week. “I’m gonna continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed. To me, this is something that has to change. “When there’s significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it’s supposed to represent and this country is representing people the way that it’s supposed to, I’ll stand.” However, Kaepernick is doing more than merely kneeling on the ground for a couple minutes in protest. He has announced plans to donate the first $1 million he earns this year to charities that assist communities in need. “I’ve been very blessed to be in this position and to be able to make the kind of money I do,” Kaepernick said after last night’s game. “And I have to help these people. I have to help these communities. It’s not right that they’re not put in a position to succeed or given those opportunities to succeed.” Kaepernick also said he spoke to a military veteran before the game about his cause. He received the man’s full support and explains that he took to a knee, as opposed to sitting all the way down, to “try to show more respect to the men and women that fight for this country.” Kaepernick has received some celebrity support, as well. John Legend, for example, says the Star-Spangled Banner is weak and that “America the Beautiful” should be our anthem instead. Either way, this is where things now stand: Colin Kaepernick is taking a knee during the playing of the national anthem. He’s doing so to draw attention to racial inequality in a country that prides itself as being the “land of the free” and he’s now giving $1 million to causes that are trying to help with this issue. And there’s a single person out there who has a problem with this? Why?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Kate Gosselin: Destroyed By Fans For Abusing, Exploiting Collin!

Kate Gosselin says her troubled son, Collin, has been sent away from home to treat “special needs” … and fans are far from pleased. Obviously, Collin’s personal situation has sparked debate and sympathy from the public, as no one likes to see an adolescent struggle. The 41-year-old single mom’s conduct – past and present – has come under heavy scrutiny, however, as it pertains to the child. Kate’s Instagram post promoting her People cover story, which featured all the kids but Collin, has quite the collection of harsh comments. Followers have lashed out, accusing her of exploiting her 12-year-old son’s issues for her own personal gain – nothing new for Kate. Kate Gosselin: Collin Has Special Needs, is Away Getting Help to “Reach Full Potential” “Shame on you for being so desperate for attention that you disclose this information about your beautiful boy!” one fellow mom wrote. “There is no low too low for you,” another opined. “Colin,” the fan said, “deserves better from you.” Damn, that’s rough, but after Kate admitted spanking Collin and being “too rough” on him in an attempt to deal with his personal issues? Well, fans are even more pissed. “I can’t help but think, one day Collin will read about himself on the Internet, and really think there’s something wrong with him,” says a fan. Collin has reportedly been undergoing care for at least one month at a Philadelphia-area facility nearly two hours from the family home. “[There’s] a fairly fluid diagnosis of what those needs are, but he needs to learn certain strategies to help him deal with things,” she said. “This has been a struggle we’ve had for a very long time, and it’s one I’ve dealt with on my own. I’ve felt very alone in this.” “By the same token, it’s not something that has only impacted me or him … our entire family has been impacted [by this].”  Meanwhile, a source close to the children’s father, Jon Gosselin, says he’s furious at the reality star for taking their son’s problems public. “Jon can’t believe that Kate is talking about this for the cover of a magazine,” the insider said. “Collin is just a kid, and deserves his privacy.” Jon is also beside himself that  his daughters called him a deadbeat in the interview, but that’s a whole different story for another time. In any event, the abuse allegations against Kate are not new. See Robert Hoffman’s 2014 tell-all, Kate Gosselin: How She Fooled the World. According to the book, Kate acknowledged being “too rough” with Collin when he was as little as two years old and wouldn’t obey her. “I feel so guilty that I treated him like that,” she wrote, of disciplining him harshly in 2006. “I will set out tomorrow to be a better mommy.” In January 2007, when Collin knocked over a high chair and spilled a bag of beans, Kate wrote in her diary that she flew into a rage. “I was instantly so SO angry, that I grabbed him and spanked him as hard as I could and thought I may seriously injure him,” she wrote. “So I sent him to his crib til Jon came home!” she wrote. “I have never felt that I may seriously injure a child but today was that day!” View Slideshow: 23 Infamous Kate Gosselin Scandals Kate says she noticed Collin’s temper, and observed that she did not like “that he doesn’t know how to handle his frustration and anger.”  Fast forward ten years, and here we are. She’ll be dealing with the frustration and anger of the public the more she talks about it, and it’s hard to say the criticism isn’t warranted. We just hope Collin is doing better.

Billy Bob Thornton: Huh? I Never Banged Amber Heard!

Billy Bob Thornton is not shy when talking about his sexual conquests, or his desired sexual conquests. Case in point: He once came out and said a “lifelong goal” is to sleep with Jennifer Aniston . This seems relevant because Thornton suddenly finds himself at the center of the very ugly Johnny Depp-Amber Heard divorce trial. Amidst accusations of abuse against Depp by Heard, a new story went viral this week. As first reported by TMZ, photos of Depp with a bloody finger will be used in the trial that is scheduled to begin on Wednesday. Heard alleges that Depp sliced off part of this finger during one of his angry tirades. But that’s not even close to being all. According to Heard, the actor was drunk and high on ecstasy at the time of the incident – which took place in March while the stars were living in Australia for the shooting of the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie. In his wasted rage, Depp took his severed finger top… dipped it in blue paint… and wrote a strange message on the mirror. It appears as if the text reads, “Starring Billy Bob and Easy Amber.” See, Heard had recently filmed a movie with Billy Bob Thornton and Depp was under the impression that the two carried on an affair. It’s unclear if he had any evidence to back up this assertion. Thornton, meanwhile, tells TMZ that the cheating allegation is “ completely false .” Yes, he appeared in the film “London Fields” with Heard… and there’s nothing more to the story. Heck, he never even socialized with the actress outside of a full cast dinner. Billy Bob says he wouldn’t even consider Heard a friend. Their relationship was strictly professional. Thornton has been married to Connie Angland since 2014. He says he’s spoken to his wife about the rumor and assured her it was all in Depp’s head. Last week, a disturbing video of Depp surfaced. It was filmed several months ago by Heard ( though NOT leaked by Heard , she insists) and it gives us an idea of how Depp can get into a seriously agitated state. Click PLAY to see the veteran actor breaking glasses, pouring wine and going off on Heard in a very one-sided argument: Johnny Depp Goes OFF on Amber Heard, Breaks Wine Bottle & Glass in Shocking Video This whole thing is a sad and ugly mess. Heard and Depp met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011. They got married four years later. But there’s always been tension between the couple, with Depp notoriously jealous and Heard notoriously independent. That can made for a difficult combination. Heard accused Depp of abuse in May. Pictures of the actress with bruises on her face subsequently went viral. On May 27, 2016, Heard walked into a Los Angeles courthouse with a black eye and filed for a temporary restraining order against her estranged husband. She said at the time that Depp had been “verbally and physically abusive” to her throughout the “entirety” of their relationship. Depp has denied these charges through representatives, but has not spoken out directly on the matter. Both sides have a number of witnesses lined up for this week’s divorce trial, which promises to expose a lot more about their private life. We’ll continue to update our Amber Heard and Johnny Depp sections as more news about their marriage, their divorce and their ongoing problems is made public.

21 Celebrities Who Fell From Grace… Hard.

It's heartbreaking when some of our most beloved celebrities start going off the deep end. From racial slurs, run-ins with the law, drug charges, and scandalous affairs, here are 21 celebrities who fell from grace. HARD. 1. Bill Cosby The most heartbreaking fall from grace may just be Bill Cosby. He played the perfect sitcom dad, and was known for those Jell-O commercials. Now he’s known for being a sleezebag rapist. Childhood memories are shattered. 2. Amanda Bynes Remember when Amanda Bynes was just cute and innocent, doing her thing on The Amanda Show? No more. She’s been arrested on several occasions for drug use, DUI’s, and allegedly starting a small fire. She has since undergone treatment for her mental health. 3. Hugh Grant Known for his roles on films like Notting Hill, About a Boy, and Bridget Jones’ Diary, Hugh Grant was arrested in 1995 for engaging in oral sex with a prostitute. He at least handled his fall from grace… with grace. A few years later, he was arrested again on allegations of assault, but the charges were dropped. 4. Chris Brown Talk about a total and complete fall from grace. Recording artist Chris Brown pled guilty to felony assault of his girlfriend at the time, Rihanna. And that was just the bginning. He arrested again for assault in 2013, and has several other run-ins with the law as well. 5. Dustin Diamond Dustin Diamond used to be known for his role as Screech on Saved by the Bell. Now, we know him more for things like a sex tape he released and charges of disorderly conduct and carrying a concealed weapon. In 2015, he was sentenced to four month in prison. 6. Jodie Sweetin We all know Jodie Sweetin for one role in particular — Stephanie Tanner on Full House (and soon again, on Fuller House!). Sweetin fell from grace after Full House ended, turning to drugs and alcohol in a big way. She wrote about it in her memoir, ‘unSweetined’ in 2009, and is now sober. View Slideshow
