Leah Messer on Parenting Critics: They Hurt My Feelings!

Monday night’s season premiere of Teen Mom 2 featured a scene that’s drawn a lot of attention to Leah Messer for all the wrong reasons. The episode shows Leah apparently denying her daughters breakfast as she rushes them off to school. In addition to claims that Messer is neglecting her daughters by failing to properly feed and clothe them (6-year-old Grace complained that she was cold on the drive in, and blamed Leah for not dressing the girls for the weather.), Teen Mom fans have also fired off harsh tweets at Leah for texting while driving with her kids in the car. Leah’s response has drawn almost as much criticism as her actions, as she responded to allegations that she’s unfit parent by tweeting that “Grace was being a drama queen.” Now, Leah is elaborating on her feelings about those on social media who agree with her baby daddies about her lack of parenting skills. “It does hurt my feelings,” she told a fan. “My girls scream to be with me because I am a GREAT MOM!” Well, we know from Monday’s episode that they certainly do scream. We’re just not sure if it’s for the reason Leah thinks. Leah has complained in the past that the show is edited in such a way that it makes her look like a worse mom than she is. Of course, Corey Simms insists the opposite is true, claiming  Teen Mom producers helped Leah hide her drug addiction . So maybe the truth is somewhere in between, and the series is actually more honest than most reality shows. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to decide for yourself.

Gigi Hadid Totally SLAMS Slut-Shaming Twitter Troll!

All this female ferocity. I love it. Gigi Hadid is the latest fierce lady who just proved that she ain’t taken no crap from haters. Recently, one particularly embittered non-fan sniveled to her on Twitter about her apparently inferior runway walk before blasting her for having too many boyfriends. “Practise how to walk properly instead of having a new bf every 2 weeks,” wrote the troll, who has since deleted the tweet. Now, celebs get criticized every day on social media, and most of the time they just ignore it. But every now and then they just gotta put someone in their damn place. And that’s exactly what the model did. “I’ve dated 3 guys in 3 yrs, hun. My walk can always get better; I hope the unrelated bitterness in ur heart can too,” she clapped back. Oh, SNAP. Good on ya, Geege. But here’s the thing. Gigi shouldn’t even have to justify herself. If she wanted to date a different dude every two weeks, that’s no one’s business but her own.  Justin Bieber and Nick Jonas have been linked romantically to a gazillion different women in the last few months, but do they get flak for it? Nah. And why is it different just because they’ve got penises? It really shouldn’t be, but I guess it’s got something to do with that bitterness. As far as Miss Gigi’s love life goes, she’s been loving on Zayn Malik  for a few months now and the two seem to be pretty damn smitten. Before that, she dated Joe Jonas , who looks so much like Zayn we here at THG are wondering if she even realizes they are two different people. And as for the third man of which Gigi speaks, it’s singer Cody Simpson, who is blond and definitely a separate human than Zayn/Joe. So go ahead and blast those trolls, girl. We got your back.

Garry Shandling Dies; Beloved Comedian Was 66

Garry Shandling – the comedian best known as the star and creator on the sitcoms It’s Garry Shandling’s Show and The Larry Sanders Show – has passed away at the age of 66. The cause of death is unknown at this time, and sources close to Shandling say he was not being treated for any illnesses. Shandling’s contribution to the world of TV comedy cannot be overstated. With  Larry Sanders  he pioneered the single-camera, laugh track-free format that would later be mimicked by such series as The Office , Modern Family , and 30 Rock . Shandling and his writers also helped to establish the ribald-yet-highbrow style of humor that continues to define HBO sitcoms to this day. Shandling racked up dozens of film and television roles in his genre- and generation-spanning career.  Younger fans have taken to Twitter to mourn the loss of the man they know as Senator Stern from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Comedians, on the other hand, are singing Shandling’s praises as master of the art of standup, as well as one of the world’s most widely-imitated television writers. Shandling made the leap from advertising to comedy in 1973 when he sold a script for the classic sitcom Sanford and Son . Little he did know then that he would forever change the face of TV comedy.

Pick The Better Title For Alan Partridge’s Film Within A Film: ‘Colossal Velocity’ or ‘Alpha Papa’?

Long before the Is- Ricky Gervais ‘-Version-of- The-Office -Funnier-Than- Steve-Carell’s ? argument raged in bars frequented by comedy junkies, I spent way too much time debating similar question: whether Steve Coogan’s BBC TV talk-show spoof  Knowing Me, Knowing You…With Alan Partridge was superior to Garry Shandling’s HBO series  The Larry Sanders Show .  With The Office , I would take Gervais’ side every time, but I could argue either side of the Partridge/Sanders contest because both shows were genuinely brilliant. So I’m thrilled,  in a sour Steve Coogan kind of way, to see that the long-gestating  Alan Partridge: The Movie  will finally arrive in theaters this summer — at least in the U.K., where it opens in August &mdash. I’m also cheered that Coogan has not lost his edge as the extremely self-absorbed talk-show host.  In this teaser trailer, he discusses some painfully bad titles for what sounds like a Die Hard -meets-Alan-Partridge radio-station siege movie that, if the host has anything to do with it, will include “heavy kissing and guns.” The clip even has the makings of a new debate:  which is the more laugh-out-loud title:   Colossal Velocity or Alpha Papa?   I also quite like Hectic Danger Day  .  Leave your choices in the comments section below.
