Becca Kufrin: STILL Not Making Wedding Plans with Garrett Yrigoyen

We’re all entitled to make catastrophic, life-altering choices, and Becca Kufrin made hers . His name is Garrett Yrigoyen. While debate rages over whether Becca and Garrett will really marry , they are still engaged. And now Becca has come forward to share what that is like, and what the two have planned for the future. In the new issue of Us Weekly , Becca Kufrin gushes about her engagement to Garrett Yrigoyen. Becca says that “life has been a fun adventure” with Garrett by her side. She admits that this (new) engagement has been “a huge adjustment” right after The Bachelorette and Arie before that and The Bachelor before that. ” Just being normal has been wonderful,” Becca says. “We were just so ready for the show to be done airing,” Becca reveals. “Where we could finally be out in public. ” Recently, Becca and Garrett have been visiting Becca’s friends and family in Minnesota. Garrett takes his turn to gush, saying that “her friends are a lot of fun.” He shares that among their activities has been a Minnesota Twins game, the state fair, and a fishing trip on the Mississippi River. “I caught my first walleye and smallmouth bass,” Garrett shares with pride. “It was fun.” Garrett is such an avid fisherman that, though we don’t have a photo of that moment, it’s not difficult to find a fish photo. Becca says that her hometown has welcomed her fiancee “with open arms.” Sometimes, even a controversial man can find acceptance if he has a popular, likable woman on his arm. But while the two have enjoyed visiting loved ones, they haven’t picked a spot to settle down. ” I don’t want to make a decision without exploring our options, ” Becca explains. That is a very sensible attitude! The couple has also spent time Garrett’s hometown of Reno, Nevada. And the two of them have discussed the idea of a potential move to L.A. “I’m hoping by November or December we’ll have nailed down a place,” Becca admits. That said, deciding on a place to live is not the same thing as making wedding plans.: As Becca explains: “We really are still getting to know each other.” It’s smart of her to be cautious. Clearly, from what she saw on The Bachelorette , she would never have guessed Garrett’s bigoted social media history . As many entertainment news outlets pointed out when Garrett’s Instagram scandal broke, it wasn’t that he liked “conservative” posts contrary to Becca’s views. The posts that he had “liked” on Instagram were outside of the bounds of decency. The posts were racist, transphobic, and misogynistic — among other things. Garrett has apologised (for getting caught), but fans hope that Becca can come to understand who he truly is before it’s too late for them both to find partners compatible with their respective values. Becca received a lot of sympathy from the Bachelor Nation after Arie Luyendyk Jr. humiliated her on television. A lot of fans feel for her and hope that she finds a better, less problematic man. Others hope that Garrett really has changed his tune. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & The Bachelorette Cast: Their Hottest Swimsuit Photos Ever!

Jenelle Evans Responds to Uproar Over Hurricane Florence Tweets: You Haters Can All Suck It!

We can certainly see why the topic is at the forefront of her mind, as that's probably the case with just about every coastal Carolinian at the moment.

Get This Girl Off Twitter Jenelle was stunned by the negative reaction to her tweet, but instead of deleting it and offering up a sincere apology, she decided to make things much worse. 3. Mad Mom Jenelle, as you may know, is an angry person. Like, you’d have a hard time finding an angrier person who’s not currently behind bars for a violent crime.

Lil Wayne Dropped By Mountain Dew Over Emmett Till Controversy

Lil Wayne will no longer be representing Mountain Dew. PepsiCo cut ties with its popular pitchman Friday over his controversial lyric mentioning 1950s civil rights martyr Emmett Till in the crudest of ways. “Beat that pu–y up like Emmett Till,” the 30-year-old rapped on Future’s “Karate Chop” remix , which was later pulled due to the offensive reference. Weezy recently apologized for (well, acknowledged) the controversy in a letter to Emmett Till ‘s family, but that apparently did not go far enough. PepsiCo released a statement asserting that Weezy’s “offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand.” “We do not plan any additional work with Lil Wayne moving forward.” Tunechi’s rep confirmed the split with the food and beverage corporation, but called it “an amicable parting” of ways due to “creative differences.” When he was 14, Emmett Till was beaten beyond recognition in Mississippi in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman and nothing more. Epic Records removed the obscene lyric from the song and issued an apology, and Weezy said he will not be performing it in any way again. Yet the Till family was still outraged by the lack of a sincere apology and called for Mountain Dew to sever its ties with the Young Money CEO. Point, Till family.

Charlie Sheen Apologizes for Bar-Opening Homophobic Slur

Charlie Sheen decided to end the year with a controversial bang last night. The actor was the life of the party at a bar opening in Cabo when he jumped on stage to introduce iconic guitarist Slash, along with other big musical acts. For inexplicable reasons, however, Sheen screamed at the crowd: “How we doing? … Lying bunch of f**got a**holes, how we doing?” TMZ has the video of Sheen’s slur , along with two quotes from the actor. First, Sheen appears to make a sincere apology, telling the site: “I meant no ill will and intended to hurt no one and I apologize if I offended anyone.” Then, in classic Charlie Sheen fashion, he goes on to mock the incident, adding: “I meant to say maggot but I have a lisp.” Aside from helping Lindsay Lohan with her taxes, Sheen has remained relatively quiet and scandal-free over the past few months. But, hey, at least he didn’t beat any women while slamming homosexuals. We suppose that’s progress for the troubled star.

Rapper J-Kwon Is Alive And Well

‘Tipsy’ rapper hadn’t been heard from in a month, prompting his record label to search for him. By Shaheem Reid J-Kwon Photo: Scott Gries/ Getty Images J-Kwon is alive and well, according to his manager and publicist. On Wednesday, we reported that his friends, family and business associates were highly concerned because no one had been able to reach the St. Louis-born rapper for about a month. His record label, Gracie Productions, even set up the Twitter page @WhereIsJKwon so fans could write in with any info they had. A few of Kwon’s business associates were even going door to door Wednesday in hopes of locating their missing friend. The 24-year-old must have seen the news, because he reached out to his loved ones. According to his rep, the rapper sent his apologies to anyone he worried. Kwon’s manager and co-CEO of Gracie, Dorian Washington, issued a statement Thursday afternoon (March 4): “I am very happy to let everyone know that I personally spoke with J-Kwon today, and he is OK. He’d like to send a sincere apology to his friends and everyone who showed concern this week. He was taking some time to himself as he sometimes does, not realizing that people would start to worry after a while. A few days out of touch versus a month is quite a difference. Right now, he just wants to keep doing what he’s doing and will be more available for those who care about him. We thank you again for your outreach, and we are relieved to know he’ll be all right.” J-Kwon rocketed into the rap game in 2004 with the club hit “Tipsy.” He is scheduled to release a self-titled album at the end of the month.
