Some celebrities use their powers to better humanity while others? Well… they get away with murder. At least some of them do. Not always on purpose, however. And not every time does someone go to jail. But scroll around below for a look at famous people who have allegedly taken the lives of others… 1. O.J. Simpson O.J. Simpson was arrested for the murder of his wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, leading to the trial of the century in 1994-95. 2. Aaron Hernandez Aaron Hernandez has now been named in not one, but THREE murders. Three. 3.

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to criticism. In fact, outside of her family members and particularly passionate sex tape connoisseurs , it’s rare to hear anyone say anything positive about Mrs. Kardashian-West. We’ve heard all the familiar complaints before: Kim lacks talent; she’s the world’s greatest narcissist; she’s set an impossible standard with regard to butt size … The list goes on and on. But one thing that Kim has never been accused of before (at least outside of the Westboro Baptist Church) is blasphemy. She crossed that controversy off her bucket list yesterday, thanks to the most ironic use of “virgin” imagery since the dawn of human sexual activity: As you can see, that’s a prayer candle with a photo of Kim in Virgin Mary mode, and it’s objectively hilarious. Artists and corporations have been using religious imagery to sell stuff for as long as we’ve had artists and corporations, but for some reason, Kim’s latest merch really struck a nerve with some of her social media followers: “Disgusting! As a Christian I’m truly offended. If you knew who the Virgin MARY was and represented you would actually be embarrassed,” one woman tweeted. “Kim Kardashian as the Virgin Mary……. is just as horrible as Kendall’s Pepsi ad …. what’s wrong with y’all, y’all that money hungry?” another asked. (Answer: Yeah. Duh.) And, of course, no witch burning would be complete without a healthy dose of slut-shaming. “Funny but you are not virgin from anywhere baby,” one guy helpfully pointed out to the mother of two. There’s a whole lot of knee-jerkin’ going on here. It’s enough to make you wonder if these people get angry every time an actor portrays Jesus. Anyway, it seems the candle was offered as part of a 4/20 sale on Kim’s website. Most of the new items were weed-related, including a hat and lighter that read, “Sorry for what I said while I was high.” The whole thing begs the question: Is Kim a stoner and she’s somehow managed to keep it a secret all these years? We have our doubts. We’re pretty she doesn’t need drugs, as no one has ever experienced a high as intense ad the one Kim gets when she looks in the mirror. It was probably just an attempt to cash in on 4/20 coordinated by whoever runs her website, and Kim was probably only vaguely aware it was taking place. The story has a happy ending, as that person probably got a promotion when Kim woke up and saw that her name was trending because of a candle.

A Lamb coming to the defense of an embattled Bear. You don’t see that often in the animal kingdom. Nor do you see the same creature birth a Pumpkin and a Chickadee, then drop 300 pounds. We’re not entirely sure where we were going with that, but not all intros can be winners, and you get the general idea. The point remains: Nothing about June Shannon’s life is conventional. The Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch recently lost 300 pounds on Mama June: From Not to Hot , but she can’t shed her baggage. Her weight loss chronicles became a sleeper hit for WE tv, especially in later weeks when it delived into June’s relationship with Sugar Bear. To make a long story short, June said Sugar Bear abused her , a claim that is not sitting well with his new wife Jennifer Lamb. At all. June publicly savaged Mike “Sugar Bear” Thompson as a wife-beater and serial cheater, allegations he denies – and his new wife is livid over. Jennifer Lamb, 43, married Suge, 45, this winter, and took to her Facebook page to assail Shannon and come to her husband’s defense. “I have the best man in the world that loves my kids, and loves his daughter very much also,” Lamb, a mother of two, said in her post. “So go ahead [and] judge but at the end of this day he only has one judge,” Jennifer said, though clearly she isn’t taking this lying down. The only time, she says, that she’s ever seen Sugar Bear get angry was at the Mama June: Not To Hot reunion taping (video above). When the discussion veered into a zone he didn’t care for, Mike absolutely lost his s–t on June and Shannon’s daughter Pumpkin, 17. He also lost his shirt, in the literal sense. “If you keep a cat cornered and poking at it, it’s finally going to get tired and come out [of] the corner fighting,” Lamb said of the outburst. Lamb adds that Shannon’s story about Thompson abandoning daughter Alana (Honey Boo Boo) after their nasty 2014 split is bulls–t. The “doting” father called and texted his daughter every day for months, Lamb alleged; Sugar Bear said June lied about this as well. According to the Bear-Lamb camp, June largely and repeatedly ignored his requests to spend time with the retired mini-pageant queen. “ Mike and I went every weekend to [Hampton, Ga.] to see Alana. “He would get up around 11 a.m. and call June to be able to see his daughter, then it would be 4-5 p.m. before she called back to let him see her.” “And then sometimes we would sit there and never get to see her. I have him calling and texting every other day up until the first of the year.” After that setback, he began trying even harder, Jennifer says: “Then he started texting and calling about four times a week.” Thompson vehemently denies Shannon’s allegations that abused her or that he left her children with “emotional and physical scars.” “The abuse allegations are not true,” Suge said earlier this month. “This is not true, any of it. June won’t let me see or talk to Alana.” “The last time I saw Alana was at mine and Jennifer’s wedding … I’ve tried to stay in touch with my daughter but June won’t let me.” Moreover, “I never told Alana to lose weight or said anything to Alana about her weight. June’s a damn liar. I would never hurt Alana.” There’s no love lost on either end of this feud, clearly. Asked recently if she has any feelings at all for her ex-partner, June basically said that Sugar Bear sucks and deserves what he gets: “No. I’ve never hated anybody as much as I hate him.” “I have to call him out on his bullsh-t,” she added, defending her recent media blitz. “How, like, reality hit. I knew what I needed to do.” Look for this to get worse before it gets better.
If you’re a fan of the Duggar clan, by now you’re probably already familiar with the narrative surrounding Jana Duggar. To many viewers, Jana is the “Cinderella Duggar,” forced to remain at home and help care for her parents’ massive brood while her brothers and sisters marry and start families of their own. That characterization might be a little inaccurate (There could be lots of reasons that Jana has chosen not to marry.), but in fairness, Jana doesn’t do much to disabuse fans of the notion that she’s basically a put-upon fairytale character. In an interview with TLC that was recorded several months ago but released this week , Jana offers some insights into what she’s most looking forward to in 2017. “Jessa’s going to be having her little one, so I’ll be at that birth and looking forward to that,” she tells the network. It may seem harmless that Jana’s most anticipated event of the year is Jessa welcoming her second child , but apparently, the remark struck a nerve for some viewers. “So sad. At this age their lives should be full of excitement and promise. The only important things going on for them are projects and Jessa’s new baby,” one fan commented on the Duggars’ official Facebook page. “She has nothing else to do but wait around for another sister to give birth. Jana your killing me. Your young your beautiful, grab some life and live it girl,” wrote another. Look, if Jana wants to leave the house and start her own family and is being prevented from doing so, that’s legitimately very sad. But this might be a case of fans reading a bit too much into an off-hand comment. It’s worth pointing out that Jana’s twin, John David Duggar, is also single , but is not subjected to the same pressures and scrutiny as Jana. Usually, the most common critiques of the Duggars (or at least the ones that don’t their efforts to cover up the Josh Duggar sex scandals ) involve the family’s backwards notions about women and their place in the world. In the case of Jana, however, it’s often the fans who play the old fashioned role and bemoan her lack of a husband and children. See what you did, people? You’ve made us defend the Duggars! We’ll never forgive you for this. View Slideshow: Jana Duggar Photos: Beautiful, Maligned “Cinderella” Duggar Through the Years

Amber Portwood and Matt Baier have never been our favorite Teen Mom couple. After all, with reports that Matt tried to holler at both Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans before finally succeeding with Amber, and with that whole thing about him being a deadbeat dad of a still unproven amount of children … Like, why would we ever be into him? But despite the protests of Teen Mom fans everywhere, Amber is still with Matt, and they’re planning on getting married this October . Or at least, that was the plan before all the abuse allegations hit the fan. Earlier this week, some questionable photos of Matt Baier surfaced — photos that showed some pretty nasty injuries that seemed to be from a fight. In one photo, Matt has some bloody cuts on his face, and in another, he has a black eye. Not only that, but the photos were actually screenshots of texts — along with the pictures, Matt wrote messages like “Look what she just did” and “Remember this is the woman who did this!” So the easy assumption would be that these are photos from Matt claiming that Amber abused him, right? After all, Amber has a history of domestic violence , and we saw her viciously attack Gary Shirley more than once. She’s come a long, long way since then, but still, fans have noted that the background in one of Matt’s photos matches a room in Amber’s house, and the glasses he’s wearing are his current ones. As much as we don’t want to believe that Amber, much less 2017 Amber, could do something like this, could it actually be true? According to a statement Matt gave People, absolutely not. “The rumor that’s circulating is both vicious and completely false,” the statement begins. “I can’t stand by and allow the media or anyone else to undermine the progress that Amber has made in turning her life around, or the relationship we’ve worked hard to build together.” “The photo that surfaced is nothing more than the result of some roughhousing amongst my guy friends,” he explains. “I got my butt kicked by a friend, and it was well-deserved, I might add.” “Now someone’s trying to use the pic to paint an untrue picture of our life together.” “Amber would never lay a hand on me,” Matt concludes, “and I can’t wait to marry the love of my life in October.” So there you have it. The photos have nothing to do with Amber, their relationship is lovely and beautiful and all good things, and we’re all dumb for believing otherwise. However, let’s also remember that at one point in this new season of Teen Mom OG, Amber breaks down while trying on wedding dresses , telling a friend “You can love each other and want to be with each other for the rest of your life and still not trust each other.” So hey, even if the abuse rumors aren’t true, maybe still don’t get married? Just a thought.

Brace yourselves, Duggar nation: Jinger Duggar is wearing pants again. That might not seem like a big deal (and it’s certainly not as newsworthy as that time Jinger wore shorts ), but in a way, the 23-year-old is rebelling against her upbringing by donning her Dockers. You see, women in the Duggar family are forbidden from engaging in a number of activities: Sex before marriage, individual thought, and clothing with more than one leg-hole are all off-limits to the Duggar gals – for reasons that aren’t entirely clear. But if there’s one thing the Duggars value above the subjugation of women, it’s the supremacy of men. They’ve instituted a strictly-enforced line of succession so that women are never confused about who they’re supposed to answer to: When a Duggar woman gets married, her husband replaces her father as the master of her mind and body, and it seems Jinger’s dude, Jeremy Vuolo takes a less draconian view toward jeans: Jinger has worn jeans on social media before, but the above photo represents the first time that she’s appeared on one of Jeremy’s social media pages rocking the Devil’s Leggings. It seems to be the couple’s way of confirming what had previously been rumored: Jinger is allowed to wear pants because Jeremy says it’s okay. Given that Vuolo and Jim Bob Duggar clashed several times during Jinger and Jeremy’s courtship, the photo could also be interpreted as a massive middle finger to the Duggar patriarch. Granted, it would be the most tame, passive-aggressive middle finger in the history of middle fingers, but these dare the Duggars we’re talking about. We’re surprised they don’t lop off their middle fingers at birth just to make sure they’re never tempted to direct their sinful wrath at a particularly inept umpire. Anyway, whether Jim Bob likes it or not, it looks like Jinger has every intention of continuing to wear pants. As rebellions go, we suppose he got off pretty easy. But it could be a slippery slope from here. Hell, Jinger’s younger siblings might one day be inspired by her example and wind up drinking a beer or voting for a Democrat.

Melissa McCarthy is a pretty big star, with countless opportunities to do big movies, high-paying TV gigs … but still, she manages to find time every once in a while to stop by Saturday Night Live. For the past couple of months, Melissa has been coming on the show to do just the loveliest impression of White House press secretary Sean Spicer. And this week, considering the mess that the real Sean Spicer got himself into, we were extra glad to see her. In case you missed it, Spicer has made some questionable comments about Hitler — about how he never used chemical weapons like Syria. He also referred to concentration camps as “Holocaust centers.” Yes, for real. His statements were obviously horrible and wrong and really just inexcusable, but we're glad Melissa was able to make light of them. And in an Easter bunny costume, no less! In the skit, Spicer makes a statement to apologize for the Hitler comments. “Everybody shut up so I can apologize,” he screams. “Yes, you all got your wish this week, didn't you, huh? Spicy finally made a mistake.” As for the “Holocaust centers” statement, Spicer says that “duh,” he knows that's not what they're really called. They're called concentration clubs! After clearing the air about the his earlier speech, he tries to make things right by telling the story of Passover, and … well, it doesn't go well. Watch Melissa be smiply amazing in the clip below:
