Source: Tony DiMaio / SplashNews / Splash News Alex Trebek May Be Leaving ‘Jeopardy!’ Due To Cancer It’s been over 35 years that Alex Trebek has graced our televisions and homes as the host of Jeopardy! But according to reports, Trebek’s time as the legendary’s show’s host may be coming to an end. In an interview with Canada’s CTV television network , Trebek revealed that his chemotherapy treatments are starting to affect his speech. “I talk to the producers about this all the time now. I say, ‘Look, I’m slurring my words. My tongue doesn’t work as much, as well as it used to. The chemo has caused sores inside my mouth. It makes it difficult for me to speak and enunciate properly,’” He continued: “I’m sure there are observant members of the television audience that notice also, but they’re forgiving,” he added. “But there will come a point when they will no longer be able to say, ‘It’s OK.’” You may recall that back in March, the 79-year old revealed that he’d been diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. However, he vowed in the TV interview to continue to fight. “We’ll play it by ear and keep chugging along until we either win or lose. I’ve lived a good life, a full life, and I’m nearing the end of that life… If it happens, why should I be afraid of that?” Let’s keep Trebek and his family in our prayers.
Folks, it’s the end of an era. Actually, it’s been the end of an era for a while now, but Jenelle Evans is just figuring that out. As you’re probably aware, Jenelle got fired from Teen Mom 2 back in May. And this wasn’t a case of two parties amicably deciding to bring their professional relationship to an end. No, Jenelle was axed after her husband, David Eason, shot and killed the family dog during one of his infamous fits of rage. Beating and murdering puppies isn’t the sort of behavior that sits well with audiences, and since Jenelle stuck by David and helped him avoid prosecution, she had to go. Of course, in all likelihood, if it hadn’t been that, it would’ve been something else. With their mile-long rap sheets, obvious substance abuse, and the many ” drunk and dramatic ” misunderstandings that all too often resulted in police being called to their home, the Easons were a powder keg waiting to explode, and MTV was likely happy to have an excuse to cut them loose. In other words, Jenelle’s termination was a long time in the making, and everyone saw it coming — except for Jenelle. Insiders say Evans was “blindsided” by the news that her time as a TV personality had come to an end. For a while, after she was let go, it seemed that Jenelle believed she would be re-hired by Teen Mom 2 producers. Now, it looks as though she’s finally coming to terms with her unemployment. Jenelle posted the photo below over the weekend as part of a seemingly never-ending celebration of her second wedding anniversary. “Before eating, after eating. What are carbs?” she captioned the post. Apropos of nothing, one fan (yes, apparently Jenelle still has fans) asked, “Are u off teen mom for good now???” “Most likely,” Jenelle responded. That may sound like a non-committal answer but this is the same Jenelle who, just a few weeks ago, was adamant that she would eventually return to MTV in triumphant fashion. It’s unclear what may have caused her to finally accept the reality of her situation. Perhaps she realized that Farrah Abraham still hasn’t been welcomed back into the Teen Mom family a full two years after getting fired. (Although Farrah did land a role on Ex on the Beach , so maybe there’s hope for Jenelle yet!) Perhaps she looked at the situation involving Amber Portwood’s arrest and realized that it takes a lot for MTV to fire a well-known star, and so the powers that be are likely to stick to their guns once they’ve made such a difficult decision. (Amber is facing prison time, and yet she still has her job.) Whatever the case, Jenelle will never again film new scenes for Teen Mom 2 . Perhaps now that she’s accepted that, she can focus on the many areas of her life that demand immediate attention. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans: I’m Coming Back to MTV, Dude!
Jinger Duggar has developed a well-earned reputation as the most rebellious of all the Duggar daughters. The mother of one lives a pretty tame lifestyle by most standards, but she’s parted with her parents’ views in a number of significant ways. For example, Jinger’s decision to wear pants in violation of her family’s dress code might receive the most attention, but that’s just one of many ways in which she’s strayed from Jim Bob’s belief system. First, Jinger married Jeremy Vuolo , a man her father openly disapproved of. Recently, Jinger and Jeremy moved to Los Angeles , which again, might not seem like the kind of thing that would create a rift in the family. But LA is a long way from Tontitown, Arkansas in more ways than one. And Jinger’s decision to relocate to a bastion of West Coast liberalism created such a stir that insiders are claiming she’s been disowned by Jim Bob and Michelle . We don’t know if the situation has really gotten that bad, but we do know that Jinger seems less and less concerned with her parents’ arbitrary rules. As we were reminded last week, the Duggars don’t celebrate Halloween . “From the beginning of our marriage, we just kind of felt like we didn’t want to celebrate that holiday. But we enjoy the harvest celebration,” Michelle wrote on her blog. “Our church fellowship has had different celebrations through the years that we’ve been a part of, ones where the children can play games and receive candy and toys and do all kinds of fun things, like a cake walk,” she continued. No real surprise there. After all, if it’s fun, the Duggars are generally opposed to fun of any kind, and day that celebrates devils, witches, and ghosts seem like the sort of thing that would leave Michelle clutching her crucifix. But based on the most recent pic of Jinger’s daughter, Felicity (below), it seems the Vuolos might be more accepting of traditional Halloween celebrations. Jeremy is much more liberal than Jinger’s parents, but the couple still subscribes to a very old school, evangelical belief system. In other words, he’ll be the one to decide if Felicity gets to go trick-or-treating one day. And fans think he just might allow it. “I could see Jeremy going either way on the topic,” one follower commented on Jinger’s pumpkin pic. “I hope she puts Felicity in the most scandalous costume imaginable… I want biker chick,” another remarked. We don’t know about that part — but it does seem like Jinger is bracing her parents for yet another minor act of defiance.

Source: Kia Caldwell / Kia Caldwell Name: Tazah Richardson IG: @tazahthemodelvixen Agency: Van Zandt Management Claim To Fame: Tazah Richardson went from staring at models in store windows to showing up on the cover of Model World Magazine. Growing up as a plus-size child with slight difficulties learning in Northwest D.C. Tazah Richardson was faced with judgement everywhere she turned. Everything from her academic performance to her address was criticized by the people around her, with her size being the primary offender. She told HelloBeautiful how the constant judgement impacted her and how she overcame it in an exclusive interview. “I had really low self-esteem. As a kid I stayed back in the first grade, and I was much bigger than all the other kids. In the second grade I was bigger than my second grade teacher which was super weird and I got teased a lot. As a kid I didn’t have very many friends .” The children in her life weren’t the only ones who hurled negative comments at Richardson. As she navigated her childhood in a neighborhood considered “the ghetto ,” she encountered the effects of an educational system padded by those without a genuine interest in encouraging children.

My mom was in the band, my dad was in the band, my mom was a majorette so I already knew how to twirl. I could twirl circles around the girls and when I went to her to ask her about being in the band she said ‘I got four words for you baby. Can’t fit the uniform.’ That crushed me.” “I was told I was too big in junior high school and high school even though I could dance just as good as the other girls. I could twirl the baton just as good as the other girls. I was never given an opportunity they told me I could play the clarinet.” The cruelty she was faced with actually had a bright side. “So I played clarinet and it got me to college .” View this post on Instagram 5 months ago a piece of me died.

For Richardson there was no question about whether or not she should take the opportunity she was offered when she returned home. “So the same lady that told me I was too big to fit the uniform I ended up taking her job.” The job reinvigorated her modeling career. With a room full of young girls watching her every move, she had to work even harder to make her dreams come true off of the clock. “It actually furthered my drive even more because I was working with young girls who were from the same neighborhood that I was from which was in Columbia Heights Northwest D.C., where we see lots of violence and lots of crime and lots of gentrification and lots of nobody caring and lots of homelessness and all those other things.” View this post on Instagram Another #TBT from the beauty issue of @luxekurves .

I was in a bad place in my life and my relationship and I acted out of anger & immature resentment… I’ve grown & wouldn’t want to hurt my girlfriend or my daughter, everyone makes mistakes and you’ll see that I learned from mine. I wouldn’t never put myself in that position again to hurt the two people I love the most in my life. I want to lead by example for my daughter and how to be a real man and I need to lead how to be a good boyfriend/husband. I’m sorry. This is what Ronnie Ortiz-Magro said in November of 2018. Fast forward nearly a year… and the Jersey Shore star was arrested for attacking Jen Harley with a knife, reportedly because he was on cocaine and allegedly while holding his 18-month old daughter in his arms. In other words: Ronnie has learned almost nothing, and changed barely at all. While there are major personal ramifcations at stake for Ronnie as a result of this incident — Will he go to jail? Will he lost custody of young Ariana? — there’s also a professional consequence. It’s about time we wonder whether Ronnie deserves to be featured on MTV any longer, don’t you think? According to various outlets, Ronnie completely flipped his $hit just before 3 a.m. on Friday. He and Harley reportedly got into yet another screaming match, this one turning violent and dangerous for all involved. Ronnie is accused of chasing his on-again/off-again girlfriend around with a weapon and then grabbing the couple’s infant daughter and locking him inside the home the couple had been renting. When police arrived on the scene, Ronnie refused to be taken into custody… prompting authorities to use a taser in order to subdue the reality star. Photos later emerged of a shirtless Ronnie being wheeled away on a gurney while handcuffed. View Slideshow: Ronnie Magro Attacks Jen Harley With a Knife, Gets Arrested and Tased By Cops Ronnie was arrested for assault against Harley and a charge of kidnapping has since been added to the record. Is he innocent until proven guilty? Yes. But one need not be convicted of a crime to be fired from a reality program. Just ask Farrah Abraham , who was let go from Teen Mom because she starred in amateur pornography videos. Or Jenelle Evans , who was booted from the same franchise because Child Protection Services deemed her an unfit mother — even though no charges were ever filed against her. Raking in money from a cable network and garnering vast fame and fortune as a result of a role on Jersey Shore is a privilege, not a right. Ronnie doesn’t need to be a certified criminal for producers to decide that his time on the series has run its course. So… should they make this call? Has Ronnie’s contentious relationship with Harley — which has included multiple arrests at this point, as well as very ugly fights over social media — created a situation in which Ortiz-Magro is simply too poisonous of a presence to employ? He’s a father, remember. There’s an innocent little girl in the middle of all this, someone who may sadly have to read about her parents awful exploits online because they’re featured on a popular television show.

It’s old news that Tyler Cameron will not be the Bachelor , but he’s still near and dear to the hearts of many in the Bachelor Nation. And let’s face it, folks: Gigi Hadid and Hannah Brown are not the only ones who think that he’s hot af. And he was very into Hannah. Tyler is now opening up frankly about how hid his very visible excitement from ABC’s cameras after his steamy makeouts with Hannah. A quick note: generations ago, the word “boner” meant a simple blunder . But we’re talking about erections , so read at your own risk. Tyler Cameron was a guest on The Ringer’s Bachelor Party podcast to reflect upon his time on The Bachelorette . Specifically, the unnecessarily handsome model discussed how to keep things ABC-appropriate while getting hot and heavy. Tyler joked that his “pants were so tight they just held everything down,” which as we all know, is not enough to effectively hide a penis. But he reveals that he had a very close call during week five. See, Hannah and her suitors traveled to Scotland. It was only natural that the men try on kilts to put themselves on display for Hannah’s amusement. But while kilts were designed specifically so that wearers could conceal more knives on their person, they’re less effective at masking an erection. Tyler notes that things got “pretty heavy” when he and Hannah were “hooking up” inside a nearby castle. (Gosh, she likes old-timey architecture, huh?) “I was able to keep everything under control there,” Tyler affirms. “I was proud of myself.” Tyler also notes a time when he was in Latvia and wearing “tight, tight, way-too-small pants.” He had a very hot and heavy makeout session with Hannah, which had the obvious and invountary anatomical result. “I was like, ‘Well, now I have a boner and all of America is going to see it,'” he recounts. “She’s like, ‘Do I need to go in front of you?'” Tyler narrates. “And I was like ‘No, I’m just going to show it off.'” As you can imagine, that particular display did not make it to air. But we’re sure that at least some of the editors appreciated Tyler’s show-and-tell. There were other times when Tyler was much, much more conscious of who might be watching him. Tyler also made out with Hannah in Greece, which was very much on camera. “My dad was watching that, and my mom was watching that,” Tyler reflects. He explains his discomfort: “I’d never kissed a girl in front of my dad.” Folks, some performers dance naked in front of their parents. Some actors have sex scenes in front of their parents. It’s awkward every single time, but Tyler should know that he’s not alone. Tyler Cameron is a walking thirst trap, so there’s no shortage of fans who are glad that he took time out of his day to discuss his dong. But he also reasies an interesting topic for discussion — namely, why doesn’t ABC do more to help its stars keep themselves TV-appropriate. If two people are making out and at least one of them has a penis, everybody knows that there’s going to be an erection. Perhaps future seasons of The Bachelorette should have a cooldown moment where the pair stand apart and take a breath. Then they can walk and talk on camera together after their makeout. And if the boner doesn’t go away? Maybe contact medical professionals — or give the dude a longer break to take care of it himself. View Slideshow: Tyler Cameron Photo Montage: Holy Hotness! Propose RIGHT NOW, Hannah!
Well, it’s October 1, which means Spooky Season is officially upon us. And like your neighbor whose jack-o-lantern has been rotting on his porch since Labor Day, Jill Duggar is getting a jump on the festivities by freaking everyone right the hell out. Sure, the Duggars don’t celebrate Halloween , and they think you’re going to hell if you do, but they still enjoy scaring the ever-loving crap out of everyone! Of course, the Counting On clan has no time for ghouls and goblins. They’re more interested in the state of your eternal soul and what they feel is the strong possibility that it’ll spend the next ten thousand years getting poked in the ass by a pitchfork. Yes, everyone once in a while the Duggars just like to remind you that you’re going to hell. Sometimes, these dire warnings take the form of a t-shirt or a sermon, but more often the D-gang simply interrupts your Tuesday with a gentle nudge and a whisper of “don’ forget, eternal damnation awaits.” Among Jim Bob and Michelle’s kids, the preferred means of communication these days is social media. And no one is more active on the ‘Gram than Jill Duggar. This could be because Jill is unemployed and has a lot of time on her hands, or it could be … actually, that’s the only reason we can think of. Whatever the case, the mother of two surprised her followers this week when she posted a link to a song about death. Of course, this wasn’t some cool metal song about death, but a Christian pop-hymn about the possibility with lyrics that contemplate the afterlife. The song, “10,000 Reasons” by Matt Redman, finds the singer contemplating where he’ll spend the next “ten thousand years.” Jill linked to the full version and posted several clips, demonstrating a preference for the verses about “when the end draws near.” “Can I get an Amen?!! Thankful this morning for God’s goodness!” Jill captioned the pic. Naturally, she received many “amen”s — but several fans confessed to being a little freaked out by the sentiment. None of this is surprising, of course, as the Duggars have always been big on the scare tactic brand of Christianity. Basically, if Stephen King had written a book of the Bible, that sh-t would be right up their alley. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Here’s Why Fans Think They’re Getting Divorced
Tori Roloff is so very close to becoming a mother for the second time. She’s due to give birth next month, you guys. How exciting, right?!? So then… why is the Little People, Big World star actually feeling so down at the moment? The veteran reality star, who has been very open in regard to the challenges of this latest pregnancy, took to Instagram on Monday and opened up once again. She explained why she’s thrilled, of course, that she’s so close to meeting her impending daughter. But, well… “The last few days have really been a struggle for me. This last stage of pregnancy has hit me hard. I get so frustrated not being able to do things on my own,” she wrote to open a caption to the gorgeous photo below. What does she mean, exactly? Tori continued as follows: “I carried 6 towels up the stairs this morning to do some laundry and have been winded ever since. I’ve never been good at asking for help and these days that’s all I ever do.” Tori is carrying an actual human being inside of her womb. We’re pretty sure she’s doing plenty of work these days, but we’re also pretty sure millions of women around the world can relate to her right now. Concluded Roloff in this message: I know this is a time to be selfish and slow down but it’s so hard to sit around while my husband works and my 2 year old wants attention. I constantly feel serious FOMO. I know it’s all worth it and I’m doing such an important job but I can’t wait to tie my shoes on my own again. So very relatable, right? It must be difficult for young Jackson to understand that his mother just can’t be there for him in all the typical ways at the moment. Tori and Zach are due to welcome a girl right around Thanksgiving. Just over a month later, Audrey and Jeremy Roloff will welcome a boy . And then some time after that, Amy Roloff will marry Chris Marek! Indeed, it’s a time for some major milestones for this family and we’re just appreciative that they let us celebrate along with them. Tori, meanwhile, continues to earn our admiration for her honesty. Two months after her pregnancy announcement, the TLC star admitted opened up about how self-conscious she was feeling. “I’m not sick (anymore) and I haven’t had any complications (thank the Lord),” she wrote on social media at the time. Roloff then added: “However, I have had a harder time accepting my body this go around. I’ve gotten bigger a lot faster than I did with Jackson and I’ve become a lot more insecure… “It’s been hard to really enjoy this pregnancy because I’ve let my own body image issues get in the way. Us as women are so badass. Like we can grow babies. “And I know I need to give this up to God right and be thankful for this gift, and I’m trying, trust me.” Hang in there, Tori. We all love you!

After this week's new episode of Dancing With The Stars , Hannah Brown continues to dazzle on the dancefloor. If only she were that lucky at love. But sometimes, the things we most want to find show up when we finally stop looking for them. Has Hannah found the man of her dreams, not on a televised date, but in her dance partner Alan Bersten? Hannah Brown went from hopping around the globe looking for her man to lighting up the dancefloor and looking for victory. Her dance partner is the young and handsome Alan Bersten, and the two are definitely one of the most talented and graceful teams this season. Naturally, some fans had to wonder if their chemistry on the dance floor translated to chemistry off camera. When Hannah held an Instagram Q&A, one of her fans straight-up asked her if she and Bersten are “a thing.” Hannah could have ignored the question — but instead, she answered. “Um, yeah, we’re a thing,” Hannah's reply begins in the video that we have included. She then delivers her punchline: “Team Alanbama Hannah.” That's right, Alanbama . Very cute that she found a way to include his name without mashing it directly with hers. (Also, trying to mash up Hannah and Alan runs the very strong risk of the word anal appearing) In other words, if she and Alan are enjoying any windmills together, she's certainly not ready to reveal it. Another clip that Hannah shared to her Instagram involves her, still wtih Alan, discussing how much she enjoys training and improving. “OK, so we obviously have to look at each other when we dance,” Hannah shares. It's part of most dancers, naturally. “And when I had not been doing a step right and then I finally get it right,” she continues. “I can always tell by his face.” Hannah exclaims: “and I’m like, ‘Yes!’ That’s my favorite thing!” Alan, in the same video, makes it clear that he's not giving her super subtle facial cues. “I smile when she gets it right,” Alan explains while flashing a dazzling smile of his own at Hannah's phone. “And,” he raves. “I just love dancing with her.” Alan expresses that “it’s a lot of fun.” We're sure that it is! The two of them move so beautifully across the dance floor and have been doing very well. Bobby Bones spoke to Life & Style about the all-too-familiar speculation that Hannah and Alan have faced. “They’re not dating,” Bobby says. “I mean they tried to rumor me with Sharna because we were both single,” he recalls. “Look, I know Alan,” Bobby notes. “I don’t feel like they’re dating and if you get two single people, you’re just going to assume that they’re together.” “I don’t think they’re dating, but it’s a very intimate thing,” he says of dancing. Bobby explains: “You’re so close with that person the whole time, so it’ll be interesting to see what happens.” Unfortunately, even if Hannah and Alan were boning, Hannah might have good reason to keep that knowledge to herself. She has faced a tremendous amount of slut-shaming from some truly reprehensible “fans” of The Bachelorette . Sex is a normal, though not universal, part of dating, yet some viewers acted scandalized that Hannah took the whole “dating” thing seriously. Some of them were just horny for Luke Parker and so they sided with him when he got extra weird, but others seem to just … have a problem with women. Sadly, whoever Hannah next dates, she's likely to face further shaming. It's hugely unfair. But at least she's a stellar dancer!
Last month, Kathryn Dennis and Thomas Ravenel wrapped up their custody war with more or less of a draw. That may change, however, and not just because of Thomas’ guilty plea to assault and battery. Kathryn has new evidence that the court may want to consider, starting with a video of Thomas doing drugs. According to court documents obtained by The Daily Mail , Thomas Ravenel may be in hot water with Charleston family court. In a new video submitted to the court, he appears to be taking hallucinogenic mushrooms at a party. “I’ve never tried this in my life,” Thomas says in the reported video. He takes out a baggie, filled with what are implied to be psychotropic fungi. “Just one,” he then says. “Just one.” “You’re gonna do that right now?” a woman’s incredulous voice can be heard saying. “Thomas, no!” the wise voice admonishes. “No, you’re, like, gonna geek out right now!” If one were to partake in hallucinogens, particularly those they have never taken before, they would want to do so with a sober babysitter to make sure that they do not have a bad reaction. Experimenting with drugs in a crowd can be … dangerous. Even if you don’t have a health crisis, you might strip off your clothes or soil yourself. “I wouldn’t want to do it,” the woman advises him. “I don’t want to hallucinate.” As someone who once had an allergic reaction that plagued him with days of hallucinations, I’d have to agree. Thomas, however, sounded indifferent over the potential use of the alleged substance during the video. “It’s just mushrooms,” he tells the woman dismissively. Interestingly, this is not the first time that Thomas and “magic mushrooms” have come up recently. In an affidavit, Thomas was accused of having advised a friend that said fungus, despite its properties, will not show up in urine tests. Kathryn was clearly concerned that Thomas might find ways to bypass court-ordered urine tests designed to keep Kensie and Saint safe. Kathryn’s affidavit also accused Thomas of having sent her a video in which he calls his child by the wrong name and slurs his words. The implication is that he must have been under the influence, in defiance of court orders. “The time that we had a pool party,” Kathryn recalls of their personal history. “And,” she narrates. “Thomas was so drunk while holding Kensie that he fell into the pool with her as a baby.” Kathryn continues: “and I had to jump in to grab Kensie:” She also cites “the Christmas where Thomas flew into a range [sic] and threw the Christmas tree that I had decorated across the room.” “The time he put my fake fur coat in a tub full of water…” Kathryn recalls. She makes reference to “the time he threw a lamp at me and glass shattered everywhere;” “And,” Kathryn’s written recollection mentions. “The time he threw an astray [sic] in my face.” These are horrifying accusations, and it seems that Kathryn wishes to connect Thomas’ alleged drug use with his abhorrent behavior. There is another disgusting incident mentioned in court documents. “And the time …when he masturbated on my back while I was asleep,” Kathryn writes. She says that he did this “because he was mad at me for rejecting his advances for sex (because I was exhausted and pregnant).” “I also discovered that he had been watching muscleman porn that night,” she concludes. For the record, I don’t know exactly what muscleman porn is even after looking it up (yes, I put that in my search history; I’m so brave). The important part of that accusation is ejaculating upon someone without her consent in order to feel in control and powerful. Kathryn is concerned that Thomas is up to his old tricks and violating the custody terms. Will the court agree? View Slideshow: Kathryn Dennis: I Can PROVE Thomas Ravenel is an Unstable Liar!
