Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: Intervention

Teairra Mari may have been on the outs with her friends, but they still showed up to help her when she needed them the most.  When Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Season 4 Episode 8 got underway, Moniece Slaughter, Nikki Mudarris, and A.D. Diggs decided it was time for their friend to get some help.  She was not supposed to be drinking and was apparently slipping back into her old ways, and that was a big concern for those closest to her.  They worried about what would happen if she continued to spiral, and Teairra had some things to say about a 90-day residential program in San Francisco.  “I’m not going anywhere. What is this? I definitely don’t have ninety days to give to that,” she yelled as she tried to imply everything was good with her.  In the end, she agreed thirty days, while confirming that she knew there was something wrong with her.  “I have to look in the mirror and realize it’s an issue. I would like my mother [to fly with me],” she says, while breaking down in tears. ”I need to get my sh*t together. It’s a start. So many people are rooting for me.” It was a long and winding road, but Teairra is finally getting help, and we could not be more happy for her. Recognizing there is an issue is the first step to recovery.  Meanwhile, Brooke Valentine met up with Bridget Kelly, and they spilled all the goodies to each other about their relationship woes.  “I did cheat on my boyfriend James once maybe twice, but that was a long time ago, and I’m ready to give James a real shot,” Bridget sensationally confirmed.  She wanted them to go on a date with Brooke and Marcus, but Brooke said, “Marcus is on probation.” She then opened up about trying to get back at him for breaking her heart.  “I’m out her purposely doing things to piss him off. I had a little outing, and I went there with Booby.” Yes, everyone on this show lives for drama, and we love to keep up to speed with all of it. It’s so juicy.  We even got confirmation that Lyrica’s family was finally getting on with A1’s, so that was surprising.  “I am happy to say our mothers are getting along like girlfriends these days,” Lyrica claimed with a huge grin on her face.  Zell opened up about his mission to sabotage Misster Ray’s launch party for his PR company. Yes, he still wanted revenge, and he knew just how to get it.  Zell threw a party, and Lyrica took to the stage to cut some shapes and sing some songs. Things took a turn when Moniece and Misster Ray walked into the venue.  View Slideshow: 15 AMAZING Moments from Love & Hip Hop When Zell tried to throw shade at Ray, Ray threw a shoe at him. No, we’re not kidding. We’re a little mad we did not get to see a big fight, but we can thank the robust security for that one.  Brooke’s day went from bad to worse when A1 told Marcus that he saw her getting up close and personal with Booby at a recent event.  “He needs to know what’s up. His girl right now is making him look crazy in these streets, and I’m not having that with my friend,” A1 said in a confessional, before spilling the beans.  Marcus made his way to the studio and caught them in the act, but Brooke was not ready to roll over and admit defeat, so she said Marcus was “running around with that paranormal bimbo.” The scene concluded with Booby saying how much he liked Brooke and they started making out again. Sigh.  The biggest moment of the episode was when Masika and Alex finally showed up to shoot the video.  “I already told you that I’m not shooting with this h*,” Masika yells, before Alexis fires back, “why can’t you be grown? We should talk.” Yeah, these two will never be friends.  View Slideshow: Love & Hip Hop Cast Rankings: Who Can Actually Sing?

Counting On Recap: Joseph Duggar Courts Kendra Caldwell!

On the season premiere of Counting On, the Duggar family caught us up on all the latest wedding, baby and courtship news in Tontitown. If you follow them at all, then you know that the last few months have been extraordinarily busy in those regards, even by their standards. Watch Counting On Season 5 Episode 1 Online Fittingly just days after Joseph Duggar married Kendra Caldwell in Arkansas, the season premiere gave us all the back story on the couple. Minus the part where Joe bumped out Jedidiah and stole his girl . You heard that one here and only here. But back to the TLC series … On  Counting On Season 5 Episode 1 , we went all the way back to where Joseph was born … where he asked Kendra to enter into a courtship. The idea being that she would start a new life with him, at the place where his life began. Gotta hand it to the Duggars on these proposals. Court-posals? Is that a thing we can make happen? In any case, Jessa Duggar called Joseph’s idea “sweet” and “thoughtful,” though his older brother John-David was less than impressed. “I wouldn’t call it romantic,” JD said, noting that the home where he was born is … no longer there. “Take her to a car auction, then a slab of concrete.” “That’s … that’s different.” He did indeed take her to a car auction as an excuse to be on that side of town; Kendra’s dad and some of his family served as chaperones. “I wanted to do it sooner to surprise her,” Joe said of asking Kendra if he can court her, adding that she was expecting it to take longer. Why? It’s unclear, given the breakneck pace in which the family moves when it comes to relationships, but apparently this was a surprise. Joseph was “trying to act cool” and “be as normal as possible” before ultimately taking her to where the home once stood and … He pulled out a ring, asked if she would take this next step with him in life, and Kendra said yes, which he said was a major relief.  “I didn’t know you were going to ask me today!” Caldwell said, blown away by the gesture and the timing. “I had no idea … It’s so exciting!” As for what you’re all wondering:  Joseph’s sisters all received necklaces as a courting gift, which is customary apparently, but his gift of a ring was his own unique twist. As a symbol he’s not looking for anyone else and is “waiting for her” (for a matter of weeks, most likely), he placed it on her ring finger. On the right hand, not the left. Gotta save that for the big one … which we all know got handed out at Joy-Anna’s wedding in May. View Slideshow: Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell: The Newest Counting On Couple! If you watch Counting On online , you know that with this exciting milestone reached, the couple may now side-hug, as per Duggar tradition. That may not sound like much, but until that courtship – which is essentially a pre-engagement, ring or not – there is no touching. Period. As for their courtship rules? Every couple has their own version of the same playbook when it comes to this issue (though all of them are similarly stringent). Joe and Kendra’s twist? Agreeing not to hold hands with one another or be alone together until they’re married … and that’s not all:  Side-hugs are only allowed to last three seconds or less. Honestly. A five-second side hug would be borderline dangerous, you know. When asked if they would have a long or short courtship, the side-hugging duo said they’re taking things “one day at a time.”  In other words, super short. View Slideshow: 16 Disturbing Things BANNED By the Duggar Family Elsewhere on the season premiere, the Seewalds and the Vuolos took on a trip down memory lane when they met up in San Antonio.  The Dillards, meanwhile, continued to settle into life in Central America, though that came with its own sets of major, stressful challenges. There’s a lot going on. Follow the links above to see the episode in full and discuss all things Duggar with us in the comments.

Joy-Anna Duggar & Austin Forsyth: Wedding Date Revealed?!

It’s only been two weeks since we first learned that Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth are engaged , but naturally, fans are already clamoring to know when the young couple will say “I do.” Now, the forthcoming nuptials have become an unlikely source of controversy, and surprisingly, the scandal has nothing to do with the fact that Joy-Anna is only 19 years old. That said, Joy-Anna’s age does apparently play a role in all of this. Allow us to explain: Several Duggar-related social media sites reported yesterday that Joy-Anna and Austin will be getting hitched on October 28, 2017, which would be Joy-Anna’s 20th birthday. A flood of congratulations began to pour in from all corners of the web. Some asked for invites, others wondered why Austin and Joy-Anna were signing on for such a long engagement. (3-4 months is the norm in Duggar Land.) The problem is, the sites spreading the news are operated by fans, and no official Duggar outlet has confirmed the date yet. That said, no one in the family has denied that the rumors are true, either. The situation has prompted many to speculate that Austin and Joy-Anna have yet to pick a date.  That, in turn, has sparked rumors that they’re taking their time due to Joy-Anna’s youth. Whether they’re revealed publicly or not, Duggar nuptial dates are usually set within a few days of the engagement. (After all, there’s no reason in wasting precious baby-makin’ time once the courtship is over with.) The delay by Joy-Anna and Austin has many wondering if the couple has decided to take it slow so as to avoid another Josiah Duggar-Marjorie Jackson situation. Josiah and Marjorie called it quits after several weeks of courting, and the breakup was followed by rumors of mistreatment from the Duggars and a tell-all memoir from Jackson. Granted, Josiah and Marjorie never made it to the courtship stage, but it’s not hard to see how the situation might have left the family a bit shell-shocked. Of course, the more likely explanation is that Joy-Anna and Austin are simply holding off on releasing any information so that they can save all the big reveals for the next season of Counting On. After all, what’s the point of getting married if you can’t score a ratings boost from it? Watch Counting On online to get caught up in time for Joy-Anna and Austin’s big day.

Kellyanne Conway Cites "Alternative Facts," Stars Slam Nitwit on Twitter

Kellyanne Conway shocked the world on Sunday, January 22, 2017.  How so? The Counselor to President Donald Trump claimed in an interview that White House press secretary Sean Spicer gave “alternative facts” in his description of the attendance size at the inauguration.  The celebrity world was not impressed with this assessment and took to social media to reveal their thoughts on the matter.  Scroll down to find out what they said… 1. Andy Cohen #alternativefacts is perhaps the greatest Real Housewives term I have ever heard. I can’t believe we haven’t heard it on a reunion. 2. George Takei Kellyanne Conjob made clear that the audit was a smokescreen, and we won’t be seeing Trump’s taxes. They’re full of ‘alternative facts. 3. Tony Goldwyn Kellyanne Conway just coined a very dangerous phrase like it’s the most normal thing in the world. #AlternativeFacts. 4. Sarah Silverman Lies now called ‘alternative facts’ by trump admin. 5. Zendaya Alternative facts….didn’t know that was a thing… a bit of an oxymoron. 6. Lance Bass As a member of the @backstreetboys, I had a love child with @BettyMWhite. #AlternativeFacts. View Slideshow

Derick Dillard Health Crisis: What’s Really Going On?

For months now, fans of the Duggar family have been expressing their concerns about Derick Dillard’s health . There’s been no official word on what’s ailing Derick, but fans have noticed that the soon-to-be father of two appears to have lost a good deal of weight in a short amount of time, and often appears pale and tired. At first, the Duggars refused to acknowledge the controversy, but while Jim Bob likes to exercise complete control over his family’s privacy, he likes ratings even more, so it looks like we’ll finally start getting the inside scoop on the curious case of Derick Dillard. The first promos for the new season of Counting On hinted that Derick would confront his health problems after a series of scary incidents. The preview shows Derick vomiting while running, an episode that appears to have resulted in an emergency visit to the doctor. “It feels great to be home and run like I used to,” Derick tells the camera at one point, “but it is difficult sometimes.” Jill is seen explaining that physical exertion makes her husband “gaggy.” The strange symptom, coupled with Derick’s rapid and unexplained weight loss, has left fans worried. Adding to the problem is the fact that Derick’s appearance has changed not only as a result of his weight loss, but also because of extensive oral surgery. In late 2015, Derick had several bones in his face broken as part of an orthodontic procedure. The 27-year-old has been wearing braces ever since. Amidst all of these changes, the Dillards spent several months in El Salvador , performing missionary work in one of the Central American nation’s poorer sectors. So it’s possible that a series of major life changes have simply manifested themselves in Derick’s appearance and there’s no one thing majorly wrong with the reality star and substitute teacher. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos But whatever the case, you can be sure the Duggars will mine his health issues for ratings gold. With no weddings on the horizon and Jill’s baby not due until July (Jessa’s is due next month) storylines were reportedly tough to come by during the latest round of filming, and fans’ interest in Derick’s health shows no signs of letting up. Watch Counting On online to get caught up in time for this week’s episode.

Duggar Family: Axed By TLC Because of Josh Scandals?

It’s been more than 19 months since the allegations that Josh Duggar molested five young girls  first went public. At first, Duggar fans expected the family to deny the reports. Instead, it emerged that parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar helped hide Josh’s crimes from the authorities. Throughout 2015, things continued to deteriorate for the Duggars. Several more scandals were unearthed, most (though not all of them) involving Josh. In October of last year, it was revealed that Josh had two paid accounts with Ashley Madison , a service that helps facilitate affairs between married people.  Shortly thereafter, a sex worker named Danica Dillon came forward with allegations that Josh had paid her for sex and treated her so roughly during the encounter that she suffered from PTSD. It looked to all the world as though the wholesome Duggar brand had been damaged beyond repair. Remarkably, however, the family was able to finagle its way back onto television with the TLC reality series Counting On , now in its second season. At first, the network was understandably tentative about taking another chance on the Duggars. The show started as a limited-run miniseries before being picked up for a full season. Crucial to its early success was the fact the belief amongst viewers that Counting On would never feature Josh, Jim Bob, or Michelle Duggar. That’s already proven to be partially untrue, as Jim Bob and Michelle have made several controversial cameos during the show’s second season. Now there are reports that Josh may be returning to Counting On to tell his side of the story and try to win sympathy from viewers. According to several media outlets, the mere mention of Josh appearing on the show has been enough for TLC execs to make it clear they will cancel Counting On , if the Duggars persist in their belief that it would be a good idea to bring Josh on camera. The network was already reportedly considered canceling the show due to less-than-stellar ratings and severed relationships with advertisers who are angry that their commercials appeared during such a controversial series. Now, the Duggars have reportedly been warned that production will be shut down if they attempt to shoot a Josh cameo. Looks like fans of the family won’t have to worry about being reminded of the family’s scandalous side during Counting On . View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled But with the way the Duggars are trying their bosses’ patience, viewers might have to worry about the show not coming back for a third season at all. Watch Counting On online at TV Fanatic to get caught up on what could be the show’s final season.
