Austen Kroll Explains How He Ended Up Boning Madison Lecroy in Colorado

A couple of months ago, Austen Kroll finally explained that weird viral video of him and his girlfriend, Madison Lecroy. Now, he’s shedding further insight into his on-again, off-again relationship. Sitting beside Craig Conover, he dishes on reuniting with Madison while on the group’s trip to Colorado. The pair of Southern Charm stars sat down with Us Weekly to discuss how all of that went down. “Were Madison and I talking?” Austen asks. “A little bit prior to the trip, yeah.” “But we hadn’t really seen each other much,” he admits. “So,” Austen confesses. “I was kind of nervous.” Hey, that’s understandable, especially after some previous hiccups in their relationship. Austen emphasizes that he was “excited to see her because we were going to be on a trip with our friends.” “So if we can’t act right here,” he reasons. “Then where can we act right?” What he means by that is that it’s a low-key, comfortable environment for them to spend time. “But everyone’s face,” Austen remarks. “I mean, for God’s sakes, it was like Ashley [Jacobs] just frikkin’ walked in the freaking room.” Now that would have been a sight. Craig admits that he and some of the others were just not sure how well Austen and Madison were going to do on the trip. “We didn’t know how it was gonna go,” he explains. Craig says that this is “because we didn’t know how secretive they were being, if they were still talking or not.” “And we were all kind of waiting for the moment that they saw each other,” he recalls. “Which was kind of goofy and made me laugh, but it was funny,” he describes. Austen and Madison got up to a little flirting in the hot tub, but fans didn’t see much more than that. He now confirms that he and his lady love “ended up in bed together.” But he still plays it coy when asked about where the two of them are at the moment, relationship-wise. “Honestly, there is so much more of the season left and a lot more happens,” Austen says. “And,” he opines. “I think you just need to watch and see how that all unfolds.” “But,” Austen teases. “You have most certainly not seen the last of Austen and Madison.” Craig was asked if he’s currently single or dating … and quickly got lost trying to define what either term means. “I don’t know what dating means,” Craig confesses. “Yeah, no, I mean, we are just having fun and traveling a lot and I met a few people recently and it’s been a lot of fun,” he acknowledges. “But just kind of talking,” Craig characterizes. “But no one’s coming to weddings with me, yet. …” “I feel like if I would have invited somebody to the wedding last week,” Craig assesses. “I would feel like he is kind of dating her.” Austen and Craig also open up about how it can be difficult to date as semi-celebrities. For Craig, at least, his ideal date (to a wedding, I guess) would ask “what’s Southern Charm ?” View Slideshow: Southern Charm Season 6: Everything We Know About the Return of Reality TV’s Most Scandalous Show!

R. Kelly: Fearing For His Life In Prison, Loving Solitary Confinement

When R. Kelly was arrested on sex trafficking charges last week, many — likely including the singer himself — assumed that he would be released within hours. After all, Kelly has proven surprisingly adept at evading authorities over the years, and he’s remained a free man despite dozens of allegations against him over the course of two decades. But a full week after he was taken into custody, Kelly remains behind bars. A judge denied him bail at a hearing on Tuesday, so it looks like he’ll remain locked up at least until his trial. And as is so often the case with rich and powerful men who lead lives of crime, the possibility of being locked up for a very long time didn’t seem real to Kelly until he actually spent some time behind bars. Now, it’s all hitting home for the 52-year-old, and it seems he’s very aware that prison isn’t a very pleasant place for convicted sex offenders. According to a new report from TMZ, Kelly is being kept in solitary confinement at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago. And the surprising thing is, he prefers it that way. Kelly’s attorney, Nicole Blank Becker, tells TMZ that the R&B legend feels that his life would be in danger in the general prison population. And he must really be afraid of getting snuffed out because life in the hole sounds like a nightmare experience. Whereas the gen. pop. inmates have access to the phone whenever they want, Kelly has just 15 minutes a month to speak with family and friends on the outside. On top of that, he receives no TV or internet access. Kelly is almost entirely illiterate, which further complicates his situation, as even minor tasks like choosing items from the commissary list are nearly impossible for the singer. And so, Kelly and his lawyers are at odds over his situation. They feel it’s unsafe for him to remain in solitary; he feels it would be unsafe for him to live among the general population. It’s possible that in this case, he knows something they don’t. TMZ reports that Kelly has little to no support among his fellow inmates, which is not surprising. He’s locked up in his native Chicago, and given the number of accusers he’s amassed over the years, it seems almost impossible none of them have any association with one of the prisoners. Meanwhile, the case against Kelly seems to get stronger by the day. Prosecutors claim they’re in possession of a tape that shows Kelly engaging in sex acts with multiple minors . It that’s the case, this may be an open-and-shut trial. And Kelly might be right about how at risk he would be outside of protective custody. View Slideshow: R. Kelly Addresses Sex Abuse Accusations in 19-Minute Song

Hannah Brown to Haters: How Dare You Slut-Shame Me!

Hannah Brown agreed to become The Bachelorette in order to find a husband. (Has she done so? Visit our section of The Bachelorette spoilers to find out!) Instead, however, she finds herself right smack dab in the middle of a never-ending controversy over her sex life. Simply put, this is not what the reality star expected… and she still doesn’t comprehend how it has happened. “I sit with people who know me the most and think, ‘How have I become the sex girl?’” Brown asks in a new interview with People Magazine. She’s referring to the debate that has sprang up over her willingness to talk about her Christian faith — and also her willingness to kiss a bunch of guys. This debate has only intensified over the past several days after loser contestant Luke Parker tried to guilt trip Hannah for having the gall to visit the Fantasy Suite with a pair of suitors. And to have herself a bit of fun in there, if you know what we mean. “Like, I had only kissed five guys and I had sex with my two long relationship boyfriends,” Brown tells People , revealing her very personal number and adding: “College was the first time. It wasn’t like I was what anybody would call ‘promiscuous.’ And then now I’ve been slut-shamed for it.” Brown added that this slut-shaming started way when she was seen “making out” with the “same three or four guys” on The Bachelorette. But isn’t that sort of the entire point of this franchise? “It’s just not okay because this show is about trying to find a husband and a part of a relationship, a marriage, is physical intimacy,” she says. “And if I want to make out with a guy, I’m going to make out with them.” Yes! D’uh! As she very well should be, as a single woman interacting with single men in a flirty and fun fashion. All of this unfortunate nonsense hit a fever pitch on Monday night’s episode when Brown and Parker engaged in a heated argument about sex and religion; it concluded with Brown flipping off Parker after she gave him the boot. “I just want to make sure that you’re not going to be sexually intimate with the other relationships here,” Luke lectured Hannah on air, continuing as follows: “I totally have all the trust in the world in you, but at the same time, I just want to make sure we’re on the same page. “Like, if you told me you’re going to have sex or you had sex with one or multiple of these guys, I would be wanting to go home, 100 percent.” Welp, Hannah did have sex with one or multiple of those guys… so she sent Luke home! View Slideshow: Luke Parker to Hannah Brown: You’re a Dirty, Rotten Sinner! Hannah, to her enormous credit, did not just sit back and take Luke’s abuse. “My husband would never say what you said to me,” she fired back. Brown now says she never set out to be any kind of role model, but she sort of finds herself in that situation now. So she’ll take on the responsibility. “We’ve got to change the language of how women speak to women and how men speak to women and how we shame them for the decisions that we make,” she tells People. “Everybody’s relationship is different and we just need to support and encourage each other and make sure that we’re making the right decisions for ourselves and what we’re ready for in relationships.” Altogether now, okay? AMEN . View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Who Gets Exposed? Who Wins Hannah’s Heart? [UPDATED]

Five Guys Brawl at Five Guys Restaurant; Florida Men Arrested Following Bloody Beef

Summer is a great time to gather up a group of friends and enjoy a few burgers in the sun, but leave it to Florida Man to put his own insane twist on something that could have been fun and innocent. This special Florida Man story involves a major brawl between not two, but five guys. And where better for five guys to enjoy some Floridian fisticuffs than at an actual Five Guys restaurant?! That’s exactly what happened, according to a Faebook post by the Stuart Police Department. According to the post, police responded to a report of a fist fight taking place at Five Guys Burgers and Fries. “Three juvenile males and two adult males were charged with affray and processed at the Martin County Jail,” the post reports. We have so, so many questions, but the post is short, sweet, cryptic, and quirky.  And in that way, it’s kind of perfect. Maybe this is one of those stories that is better the less you know about it. The headline really says all there is to know. The rest is all down to imagination and alliteration. Did the Florida Fivesome’s feckless fistfight fulfill some kind of function?  Did these fellas unfetter their fury by flinging fistfulls of fries at each other’s faces in a full-on food fight? Unfortunately, we don’t have all the greasy details. The post from the Stuart Police makes a point of saying that the cause of the fight is still unknown.  Similarly, the witness didn’t mention exactly what was said between the group of men that led to the fracas. It’s not clear if any of the men knew each other before the incident, or if they met and became enemies right there at Five Guys. We do know that the incident occurred around lunch time on Wednesday. According to a woman who witnessed the fried food feud, one of the men began “talking sh-t” to another. The argument escalated when one of the men threw his beverage cup at another, and a door was slammed in someone’s face. We call this the “Bad Girls Club” method of starting a fight, and it never fails.  It’s also come to light that all five of the perpetrators were fairly young. The original post mentions that two of the men were adults, and the rest were juveniles. The wording leads one to wonder if the generation gap was the source of the conflict here. Was this one of those scanerios where a group of troubled youths just couldn’t stop mouthing off, and the older guys snapped? As it turns out, the two adults that were arrested were only 18 years old. The minors that were arrested got fingerprinted, booked and released to their parents. So it’s not so much a case of two idiots acting like kids, but rather of five kids acting like idiots.  Fortunately for all involved, Florida law considers affray a misdemeanor. Specifically, it’s when two or more people fight in a public space, resulting in a disturbance of the peace. So even the two who can be tried as adults should get off fairly easy.  We just hope that police won’t have to arrest these five for fighting again.

NY Senator Chuck Schumer Calls For Investigation Into Russian-Based FaceApp

Source: KIRILL KUDRYAVTSEV / Getty What seemed like just harmless fun might actually be a huge security risk. Over the past two days, Twitter and Instagram timelines looked like a “retirement home” thanks to FaceApp , which takes a photo and ages it using its impressive face altering technology. After it was learned that app is Russia-based, Democratic Senator, Chuck Schumer is calling for an investigation. It’s perfectly understandable why granting anything Russian-based access to private information raises red flags in the United States. This is the same country that successfully hacked our electoral system paving the way for the orange menace in the White House. Chuck Schumer announced on Twitter that he is calling for an investigation on a federal level into the company that owns the app. He is claiming there are potential national security and privacy risks to millions of Americans. In a letter to the FBI and Federal Trade Commission, Schumer states: “It would be deeply troubling if the sensitive personal information of U.S. citizens was provided to a hostile foreign power actively engaged in cyber hostilities against the United States.” “I ask that the FTC consider whether there are adequate safeguards in place to prevent the privacy of Americans using this application, including government personnel and military service members, from being compromised.” BIG: Share if you used #FaceApp : The @FBI & @FTC must look into the national security & privacy risks now Because millions of Americans have used it It’s owned by a Russia-based company And users are required to provide full, irrevocable access to their personal photos & data pic.twitter.com/cejLLwBQcr — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) July 18, 2019 While there is no evidence at this time of foul play going on, there is definitely some cause for concern. This is a moment for app users to read the acknowledgment and privacy forms thoroughly before they press accept and grant it access to their phones. Before learning of the apps Russian ties, it was already downloaded and used by celebrities like Drake , LeBron James , and more.

Jen Harley: Did Ronnie Actually Knock Her Up Again?!?

All children are a blessing. We’re not here to argue this point. But some men and women are simply incompatible and, yes, even dangerous together and they really should not share any kids. Yes, we’re looking at you when making this statement, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley. The on-again/off-again/on-again/off-again/holy-crap-are-they-really-on-again?!? couple is already parents to an adorable daughter named Ariana. She was born in April of 2018 and her parents have spent every other week since fighting, arguing and alleging that the other assaulting him or her. We’re barely even exaggerating here. And yet… Ronnie just admitted that he and Harley remain a couple and MTV viewers watched in shock on Thursday night when Ronnie dropped a different kind of bombshell: He said Harley might be pregnant again. On the latest installment of this revived reality series, the group took a trip to Lake George, New York in order to help Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino get his mind off his recent jail sentencing. And this mission was quickly accomplished once everyone was sitting around a bonfire and Ronnie said his sperm may have fertilized Jen’s egg for the second time.  “You might be pregnant?” replied Jenni “JWOWW” Farley. “Shut the f-ck up. Ronaldo, are you serious?” “Maybe,” he responded. “She’s late. … She wants to take [a pregnancy test] now, but I told her to wait. I want to be there when she does it.” “My mind is blown right now,” Mike confessed. Vinny Guadagnino, meamwhile, won the night with the best reaction, offering his friend some life advice while also asking the question on everyone’s minds: Pull the f-ck out. What the f-ck is wrong with you? Ronnie didn’t let these responses get him down, however. Yes, he and Jen have had their problems — and then some. It was only a few months ago that Ronnie claimed Jen assaulted him with an ashtray and Jen claimed Ronnie ransacked her Las Vegas apartment. However, “I love being a father,” he said on air last night, adding of the possibility that Harley is expecting again: “I mean, I did it once. Second time will be the same thing, if not better.” Continued the muscular veteran MTV personality: “I’m excited about it, you know. “I would rather have another child with Jen than have another child with another woman. Why would I want to have three baby moms? It’s like, let’s have kids, get one baby’s mom, and that’s what it is.” In their interviews with producers, though, other cast members weren’t quite so optimistic about the situation. Remember, they think Jen totally sucks . “It’s definitely crazy to think Jen’s pregnant again, because we just never know where they are in their relationship – if they’re happy, if they’re fighting, if she’s dragging him with a car,” said Snooki. “I just want them to be good before they bring another baby into the world.” Farley echoed this sentiment: “I feel like they need about five years of therapy before another child. It’s my opinion, I’m allowed to have it. But apparently, they’re fine. As he’s sitting there with another black eye.” And Pauly D? Let’s have your thoughts… “Like, what the f-ck, dude? You haven’t learned yet? “Their relationship is a roller coaster. The last thing they need to do is have another baby. Ron says he’s fine with it, but we all know it’s only a matter of time before he falls apart.” Watch Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 3 Episode 2 Online Ronnie did check into rehab earlier this year for alcoholism and depression. This either means he’s at a healthier place than ever before… or that Harley drove him to seek professional help and his pals are right, she’s a very bad influence on him. In the end, the question of Jen’s pregnancy was not resolved on the episode. But it was filmed months ago and there’s been no talk of her being with child since, so it’s safe to assume this was a false, very scary alarm. After all, Ortiz-Magro talked to Us Weekly just a few days ago and said his relationship with Jen is actually great, never bringing up an impending baby. “Things are good and I think it’s because I made a change and I stopped doing the same thing over and over again,” he told this tabloid, concluding: “I started just focusing on myself and stopped worrying about what other people wanted from me, and what I want for myself. So right now things are good.” View Slideshow: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Reveals Rehab Stint, Admits Hitting Rock Bottom

Mike Johnson Reacts To Demi Lovato’s Crush On Him: Girl, Come Here!

Mike Johnson may not have gotten a final rose from Hannah Brown , but that doesn’t mean he is giving up on finding true love. Especially not after he received some very flattering support from none other than Demi Lovato following his elimination on season 15 of  The Bachelorette.  And yes, he is very much here for the pop star’s flirting.  Fans have been shipping this couple ever since Demi took to her Instagram Live to share that Mike was her favorite on the show. The 26-year-old Grammy nominee did not hold back her feelings while professing her love for Johnson earlier this month. “Mike I accept your rose,” Lovato wrote to her Instagram.  “I’M RIGHT HERE MIKE I’M RIGHT HERE BOO MY MOM ALREADY LOVES YOU TOO.” Demi then followed with a second video of her in front of the TV while Johnson was on screen. “Give Your Heart A Break,” the singer yelled. “Swing me, kiss me, boo boo!” While we would love to see these two fall in love, exchange vows, have kids, etc., a lot of Bachelor Nation is rooting for Mike to be the next Bachelor.  But it sounds like he will be happy with wherever the wind blows him.  And if that’s to Demi,  he will definitely be more than ok with that .  “I’m flirting with her too,” Johnson told Us Weekly at the Men Tell All taping.  “I would definitely take her out for an initial date, yeah. 100% not scared about it at all.” “I would be like, ‘Oh My God! Girl, come here,'” he said of Demi. Mike also opened up to HollywoodLife , admitting that Demi is “freaking sexy as can be.” He said he would still need to get to know her personality, but he would love the chance to score a one-on-one with the “Sorry Not Sorry” singer. “I don’t know her personality, so I’d have to get to know her, but I would entertain a conversation,” he gushes.  Demi, are you hearing this?!  The San Antonio native also took a moment to discuss the very possible chance of him becoming the next Bachelor, where he would make history by being the first ever black man and military veteran to take on the role.   “It makes me feel awesome, I’m not gonna lie about it,” he admitted about fans’ #MikeforBachelor campaign. “It puts a smile on my face to know that people want me to find the love that I want so dearly.” “I’m like super humble in the sense of I, like, shy it down quite often, but being completely transparent, it makes me feel amazing that people would even consider that for me,” he shared. Uh, Mike is such a sweetie! We know he will have no problem finding the love he deserves. And if ABC doesn’t work out, well at least he has the support of his famous admirer.

Tori Spelling: Begging Dean McDermott For a SIXTH Kid?!

Pretty much every time we talk about them these days, we feel the need to mention the fact that Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott are broke . It’s not that we’re fixated on the couple’s income, it’s just that their diminished finances seem to factor into every decision they make. For example, when Tori and Dean run a pyramid scheme , it’s not because they’ve always been passionate about the art of grifting. It’s because they’re broke. The McDermotts have been sued by numerous creditors , and Dean reportedly fell so far behind in his child support that a judge nearly threw him in jail last year. According to a new report from Radar Online, Tori and Dean were recently hit with a pair of tax liens in the amount of $707,487 and $184,390. Again, we say all of this not to shame the McDermotts, but rather to point out how bonkers it is that they want to have a sixth kid. Or more accurately, Tori wants to have a sixth kid, and Dean is understandably deadset against it. Spelling just welcomed her fifth child  back in March, but apparently, she really has a thing for symmetry and she wants to balance out the brood by having three boys and three girls. “Dean loves kids, but he’s stunned she would even suggest it,” a source close to the situation tells Radar. “Dean thinks she needs to get her head on straight and work on supporting the family they already have,” the insider adds.  Spelling has a role in the 90210 reboot coming to Fox in August. But it seems that project hasn’t turned out to be the cash cow she hoped it would be. “She thought she’d be raking it in like they did in the ’90s,” a source said. “She’s getting a fraction of that!” “Tori can’t command a big salary anymore,” another insider adds. “She’s only done reality TV in recent years, she’s older and her reputation isn’t the best.” But hey, Tori should focus on the silver lining here. One 90210 reboot already failed. If the cast was worthy of much larger salaries, they would probably demand more pay, which would probably prevent this project from happening at all!

Ashley Martson: The GoFundMe for Jay Smith Was PURE FRAUD!

Earlier this month,  90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?  star  Jay Smith was arrested and placed in ICE custody  ahead of his deportation. The arrest was over violating a domestic violence protection order issued by his ex, Ashley Martson. Now, Ashley is clearing the air — and explaining that people who tried to “help” Jay fight deportation were lied to about what that money is for. “In regards to the GoFundMe…it was all lies,” Ashley Martson says to  Celebuzz . “The GoFundMe was made to pay for a criminal defense attorney to fight a PFA violation,” she explains. That is “not an immigration lawyer as the GoFundMe story led people to believe.” The GoFundMe set up for Jay has also said that the PFA violation charges were dropped. But Ashley says that this is just another lie. “She specifically states the charges were dropped for the PFA on the GoFundMe,” Ashley points out. “That was a total lie.” “We had court today,” she shares. “Where a judge found Jay guilty of violating the PFA.” Being found guilty of something is very different from the charge being dropped. “Everyone who donated money paid for an attorney to try and fight charges of abusing a woman,” Ashley explains. “Aot to save Jay from deportation.” Deportation, she points out, has been a foregone conclusion for Jay for some time, now. Ashley says that the stripper who set up Jay’s GoFundMe is also the girl whom he is currently dating. She also says that they started dating back in  January , which makes for a nauseating cheating timeline. “I just want this behind me,” Ashley expresses. “A PFA isn’t easy to acquire…” “If I did show the evidence people’s jaws would drop,” she promises. “It’s sad they don’t know the truth,” Ashley admits. “But I am not going to post it. It’s very disturbing.” Ashley doesn’t want to show the public evidence of domestic abuse — she showed it to the court, and that should be enough. “Jay will be deported,” Ashley predicts. “This takes quite some time.” “It could be a year until he will actually be deported,” she adds. “He had many chances to return home,” Ashley points out. “He knew he was here illegally.” Ashley explains that she wasn’t playing control games with Jay and the paperwork — he was the one toying with her heart. “As for people saying I held his status over his head, that’s not true,” Ashley emphasizes. She explains that “He knew I wasn’t willing to do the paperwork.” “Anyone who has a family and assets would never put all that on the line,” Ashley expresses. At least, not “for [someone] who used, abused, and constantly disrespected them.” Ashley has accused Jay of abuse. Alleged text messages shared by a 90 Day Fiance castmated appear to accuse Jay Smith of rape . His cheating was obnoxious, but it seems very clear that his toxic relationship with Ashley was much worse than viewers ever knew. Hopefully, the courts will do their job, and this will all be part of the past. In the mean time, we just wonder if any of these accusations will be touched upon at the Tell All special.
