Jenelle Evans has been in a great big mess for over a month now. Probably the biggest mess of her life, which is saying a lot. Her husband killed her dog, she lost her Teen Mom 2 gig, and CPS removed all of her children from her home. It's been rough. But throughout the whole thing, Jenelle has been uncharacteristically quiet. She's given statements and interviews here and there, but not much, and she hasn't addressed the situation much on social media at all. Until now! 1. This Girl … Jenelle … well, she doesn’t always make the best choices. 2. The Truth Actually, she pretty exclusively makes terrible ones. 3. Surprise! Her worst choice? It’s tough to say, but it’s really looking like it’s going to be getting with David Eason. 4. This Guy David is just the worst, but nobody has time to list every single bit of proof of that. For now, let’s just stick with the fact that he murdered Nugget, the family dog, and after police began investigating him, they believed he was so dangerous that they advised CPS to remove all the children from his care. 5. Wow It’s apparently a big deal, and a very difficult thing to do, this emergency removal, but David warranted it. 6. The Kids And so now Kaiser is with his father, Nathan Griffith, and Ensley is with Jenelle’s mother, Barbara, who already has custody of Jace. View Slideshow
Congratulations are in order for Chris Brown. And prayers are needed for the little boy or girl who is about to grow up with Chris Brown as a father. The rapper is expecting his second child with Ammika Harris, numerous outlets have confirmed. It’s unclear just how far along Harris is in her pregnancy, but Us Weekly writes that she and the violent superstar broke up a few months ago. So… she’s either already well into her second trimester and the news just broke; or Brown and Harris had some non-relationship sex at some point in the fairly recent past. At last check, Brown was romantically linked to Instagram model Indya Marie. We remain perplexed, of course, over why he would be romantically linked to anyone, considering Chris Brown is a tempermental abuser who bloodied Rihanna’s face with his fists a few years ago. Since then, he has been accused of domestic violence on multiple other occasions as well. The New York Post first reported that Brown is expecting, noting that he dropped hints in May when he remarked on a photo Harris,playing basketball at an arcade. “BM BAD,” he wrote at the time, using the common abbreviation for “baby mama.” Neither Brown nor Harris has said anything else about the topic since then. Their baby, however, will join half-sibling Royalty in Brown’s immediate/extended family; her mother is Nia Guzman. According to the star, he thinks that being a dad is “very humbling” and he does seem to dote on the five-year-old toddler. Just take one look at Brown’s Instagram and it’s apparent he spends his fair share of time with Royalty. At other times, of course, he continues to try and roast another ex-girlfriend, Karrueche Tran. Brown just slammed her boyfriend, Victor Cruz , this past Thursday, writing of the former wide receiver’s fashion sense: “No shade boo, but PLEAS [sic] STYLE HIM. “He look like he shopping off the manikin [sic] and trying to bargain with the sales manager. Retired wrestler spanks [sic]. I’M F—KING AROUND … Good [sic] bless.” Oh, that Chris Brown. Always such a joker, right? Ammika Harris is reportedly having Chris Brown’s baby. She may need ALL the prayers, you guys. Added Brown on social media: “No shade. Just minor. Nothing bad or major. UPGRADE HIM SIS. I’ll take him around to style him. NOT HATE. He just need some game spirit. “Peace love and joy. JUST PLEASE UPGRADE YA [sic] MAN BOO.” Sounds like you banged yourself a real winner there, Ammika Harris. Please keep your child as far away from him as possiblel
90 Day Fiance: The Other Way is the newest 90 Day spinoff series, And TLC is helping to build the hype with sneak peek videos of the featured couples. Fans have already met Evelin and Corey . Now, they can get to know another The Other Way couple: Laura and Aladin. TLC just featured the couple in a new sneak peak trailer, and this one is a doozy, folks. The trailer first introduces us to Laura, a 51-year-old retiree from Toronto who now lives in Florida. Laura lives with her 21-year-old son Liam, and the two seem to have a very close relationship. At the very least, it's clear they love playing Bingo together. Laura instantly comes off as warm and likeable, and she seems to love her life in Florida. But we quickly find out that she's about to leave her whole life behind to travel half-way around the globe and get married! So far, so good. But then, the trailer introduces us to her fiance, and we had to take a moment because he is, well, not what we expected. Aladin is a personal fitness trainer who lives in Qatar. He started “chit-chatting” with Laura over a year ago on social media, much to Laura's surprise. “I was just like, 'Wow, he's gorgeous,” she recalls. Well, she's not wrong. This is the kind of guy whose every selfie gets the 'eyes' emoji from thirsty followers. But we have to admit the two make a pretty unusual couple. What's going on here? “What is he looking at me for,” Laura wonders aloud. Of course, Laura seems delightful and totally deserving of Aladin's admiration! But, we see why she'd ask. At age 29, Aladin is 22 years younger than Laura — and only eight years older than her son! Yikes. That's a significant age gap, but if they want to be together, Aladin and Laura are both more than old enough to make an informed, responsible decision about it. Of course, “informed, responsible decision” is a very relative term on a show where people fly off to marry someone they've often never met in person. Longtime 90 Day Fiance fans may be hearing alarm bells for a different reason. Aladin is in Qatar but he is originally from Tunisia, just like the infamous 90 Day star Mohammed Jbali. Jbali too was a younger man who romanced an older American woman — to Danielle Mullins' everlasting regret. But, just as not all Americans are like Danielle, not all Tunisians are like Mohammed. And just looking at Aladin is enough to see that he's a very different man. And as the trailer shows us, Laura and Aladin already have a close, and totally charming, relationship. We loved watching the satisfaction on Laura's face while Aladin shows off his abs at her command. “Are you going to be removing more clothes,” Laura asks him, definitely only half-kidding. “Come on,” Aladin laughs back at her. It's an adorable exchange that had us hoping the camera crew would take a hike and give these two a moment. It can be very difficult to maintain a relationship with someone you can only interact with over the internet. They live so far apart that even scheduling times to chat could be tricky because of the different time zones. But these two are certainly making the best of it. The trailer shows off a collection of selfies the two lovebirds have exchanged over social media, all with cute photo filters. Laura explains that after a year or so of chatting, Aladin finally asked if she would like to come to Qatar and meet. We know she took him up on the offer and the two have met in person. But we'll have to tune into 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way to see how it goes down. For the record, we hope it turns out just as sweet as this trailer. We'll be rooting for you Laura. For obvious reasons.
Jim Edmonds is one of the best defenders Major League Baseball history, having been responsible for two of the greatest catches you’ll ever see. But now the former centerfielder is getting defensive in a very different way. He’s denying a report that he carried on an affair while his famous wife was pregnant with twins. According to All About the Tea, Edmonds got involved with a woman named Jenn (aka “the baseball madame”) back when he was playing baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. This same article alleges that Edmonds cheated on his second wife at that time. This affair ended years ago — but it was then rekindled in March of 2018, per a “rock solid source,” who claims Jim got it on with Jenn once again last year… … when Meghan was expecting twins Hart and Hayes . Moreover, All About the Tea writes that Jim was the one to reach back out to Jenn in order to see if she was down for some more extramarital sex. “Jim sent Jenn a DM on Instagram in March She had not heard from him in years. Their friendship sparked again and they started communicating on a regular basis,” an insider says, adding: “Their communications quickly turned from friendly to dirty texting.” Just how dirty did these texts get? The source alleges that Jim is a “freak” who would often send “d-ck pics and sexual videos exposing himself” to Jenn. The two would reportedly meet in hotels rooms last year when Edmonds was on the road during his broadcasting job. And they would have intercourse. Incredibly, this report claims that the affair continued right up to the day that Jim’s two latest kids entered the world. “Jim sent Jenn a video of himself masturbating in his basement while his wife was laid up in the hospital,” the insider actually says. “She had just given birth that day.” AllAboutTheTEA.com even says it’s in possession of the video of the father of seven engaged in the act of pleasuring himself, which is just, like… what the actual f-ck, right?!? In response to the very scathing allegation, Edmonds admits that he had some sort of relationship with a woman from the past that was inappropriate. But he denies actually having sex with her. “Regrettably, I had a lapse in judgment. I engaged in an inappropriate conversation with this person,” he now tells Us Weekly, adding: “At no time was there any type of relationship or physical contact. Absolutely none. This is someone trying to profit from my name. I am aware she has done this to others in the past.” Edmonds, who has appeared opposite his wife on The Real Housewives of Orange County does still say he’s very sorry for his actions. “Clearly, I made a very poor decision to expose myself and my family to this type of person. “For this, I am truly sorry and sought forgiveness from my wife. “I’m outraged over the intent to ruin my family and intend to take legal action. We were never having any problems in our marriage. “My attorney is in possession of documents wherein this person has admitted fabricating large portions of her ‘story.’” Jim and Meghan got married on October 24, 2014. The couple have three kids together: one-year-old twins, Hart and Hayes; and two year-old daughter, Aspen. The pair joined The Real Housewives of Orange County in season 10, which aired in 2015. They departed the series after season 12 in 2017.
The Real Housewives of New York City fans recoiled in horror as Bethenny Frankel lashed out at Luann de Lesseps . It was ugly. The cohosts of The View responded to the incident, and Sunny had her own anecdote to share about the Skinnygirl founder. Sunny claims that she met Bethenny just once — when Bethenny yelled at Sunny's 7-year-old child. Just a quick recap, tragically not told in Whoopi Goldberg's impression of a Valley Girl voice. Bethenny Frankel was there for Luann after her arrest and the beginning of her sobriety journey. She clearly feltt hat Luann was too self-absorbed to return the favor after the tragic death of Dennis Shields . In a scene that brought multiple Housewives to tears, she unloaded on Luann without remorse. Clearly, Bethenny was having an on-screen breakdown in grief. But it remains a topic of discussion. So what does this have to do with The View cohost Sunny Hostin? Well, the women offered up their reactions to Bethenny's outburst, with Meghan McCain providing nuanced context. (Imagine if she could do that with politics! Wouldn't that be something?) Meghan makes it very clear that she feels a lot of sympathy for Bethenny at this moment. But not everyone feels the same way. “I don't know Bethenny,” Sunny mentions. “But I've seen her behave that way on the beach yelling at my child.” This gets everyone's attention. Joy Behar mentions that she would like to hear about Sunny's experience. (While Whoopi implies that she knows this story already) “I don't know,” Sunny says. “They're telling me not to talk about it in my ear.” “I'm just saying,” Sunny continues. “I've seen that kind of behavior when Bethenny yelled at my child on the beach.” She pauses for dramatic effect while the audience responds, and then shares her story. “It was in the middle of the day,” she recalls. “And my child was about 7, playing with other children at about 2 o’clock in the afternoon.” Speaking of Bethenny, Sunny recounts: “and she said that her child was napping inside with the window open.” “And,” Sunny claims, Bethenny insisted “that our children were being too loud on the beach.” “[She] yelled at my child,” Sunny accuses. “And,” she adds. “I went out there and stood in front of my child.” “And I yelled at her,” Sunny reveals. “And told her adults speak to adults,” “And she knows I’m telling the truth,” Sunny concludes. It is very clear that this one encounter left a permanent bad taste in Sunny's mouth when it comes to the Skinnygirl founder. Bethenny isn't without her defenders on the show, as the Princess of Arizona spoke out on her behalf. “[Frankel] sent me a very nice note after my dad died,” Meghan says. Meghan's father is the late Senator John McCain, a fact that she has mentioned a time or two. “And I like her,” Meghan notes. “And I wasn’t there on that beach in that scenario. I don’t have kids, as everyone knows.” Sunny points out: “I didn’t get a nice note.” Longtime fans of The View may recall that Sunny shared this anecdote back in 2016. At the time, she provided context, saying that she and Bethenny had been renting neighboring houses in the Hamptons. “She was very gracious later,” Sunny admitted in 2016. She added that Bethenny had “sent me some of the Skinnygirl margarita stuff later.” “Maybe she’s much nicer now,” Sunny acknowledged. “But she was pretty ugly to all of us.” It seems that Bethenny's outburst brought back ugly memories for Sunny. Was Sunny being unfair? A friend of Bethenny's tells Us Weekly that it's disappointing to see her taking shots at the reality star. According to the unnamed friend, it is a “shame Sunny continues to speak negatively about Bethenny.” “They don’t even know each other,” the friend points out. “She even attacked Bethenny’s relief efforts last year.” “Not sure why she continues to be fixated on her,” the friend lamented. “And create unnecessary drama.” Sometimes, it's best to let go of grudges. That said … you don't yell at somebody else's kids. And you don't get mad at children playing on a beach.
Hannah Brown has made a few things clear on this season of The Bachelorette. She loves sex. She loves God. And, for reasons many viewers don’t comprehend, she isn’t scared off by how intensely suitor Luke Parker loves her. Yes, already. Despite having some questions about Parker and his stalker-like tendencies on the show this season, Hannah has kept the controversial contestant around. Will he actually go on to win her heart and the entire thing later this summer? Not if he really is the one who ends up slut-shaming Hannah due to her very open views on spit swapping and sexual intercourse. “My faith is really important, and some people question that, but like I said, I don’t hold anything back, and part of a relationship is being sexually attracted to somebody,” Brown told reporters this week, adding at a red carpet event: “I am sexually attracted to these men, and I’m not going to hold back on that.” Translation: Hannah is gonna get herself some D , you guys! This is perfectly within her rights as a Bachelorette and, heck, a human being of course. The series even sets up its leads with Fantasy Suites created for the exact purpose of boning one’s potential spouse. According to various Bachelorette spoilers , however, Parker will advance to the final four this year, only to be given the boot by Hannah because he tries to make her feel guilty for sleeping with his fellow suitors. Is this what actually takes place? Chris Harrison hinted as much. “Faith is what brought them together and his faith and his conservative values might be their biggest sticking point and become the biggest divide between them,” Harriston told ET this week about Brown and Parker, adding: “We are setting something up down the road that will come to a head, where their faith and their values start to conflict, and how they perceive them.” Parker has said previously that he was basically a major player in college… but then God spoke to him in the shower one day and told him to stop messing around and start getting serious about having a family. For real. This is what Parker has said. So we guess it might make some sense that he would take issue with Hannah taking advantage of the many hot men vying for her attention — but not really, of course. She can do whatever she wants. “That’s always the interesting thing about religion, and I always feel maybe we need to dive into this more sometimes,” Harrison also told ET. “Sometimes we shy away from it because religion, it’s a little bit like sex, where it’s taboo to discuss in the open.” “I think it needs to be brought in the open more sometimes, and, in this case, it’s interesting how they have very similar values, but very differing opinions on how to apply them to life.” In a promo for The Bachelorette Season 15 this spring, we heard Hannah going off on an unknown suitor. “I cannot believe you just said that to me,” she says to this person. “I don’t owe you anything at this point. Do you not understand that?” View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Check Out the Lucky Guy Who Wins Hannah’s Heart! [UPDATED] She adds in this same teaser: “I believe that sex was made for a man and a woman in marriage, but I’m having physical relationships and honestly, I have had sex. And Jesus still loves me. “How dare I be judged by a man?” That’s a good question. We wonder if Luke Parker has an answer.
It’s been 25 years since Kurt Cobain tragically took his own life , and we’re sure the rock legend’s loved ones still miss him every day. Well, all except for Courtney Love, that is, who apparently chatted with Kurt’s ghost a few years after he died and was pretty unimpressed by the encounter. This information comes to us courtesy of Love’s latest interview with NME , in which she reveals that she received a spectral visit from Cobain while she was dating Edward Norton in the late ’90s. “When I moved to Hancock Park from Seattle with [daughter] Frances and Edward, I saw Kurt in a chair for a moment and he said hi to me and then he left,” she told the magazine. Somehow, this story is both surprising and totally predictable. We’re always taken aback to hear a sober (we assume) recollection of an otherworldly encounter. But at the same time, of course Courtney Love claims to have seen Kurt Cobain’s ghost, and of course he gave a casual “‘sup” and went on his ghostly way. Our younger readers might not remember this, but in the years before seething rage took over the world, excessive displays of emotion were considered deeply uncool, and Kurt was the king of the Apathetic 90s Guys. We don’t know why anyone would expect anything different from his ghost. A quick solo unplugged set would’ve been cool and all, but as long as Ghost Kurt was rocking a moth-eaten cardigan, we’ll accept that his final appearance was fully on-brand. On a related note, shout-out to Courtney Love for still being alive. We’re not trying to be morbid or anything, but really, who saw that one coming? Not only is Courtney still kicking despite having ingested every substance on the planet, she actually seems to be doing pretty well for herself. Against all odds, Love has even repaired her relationship with her 26-year-old daughter. Last we checked in on the family, Courtney and Frances were paying tribute to Kurt on his birthday. So much has changed in the decades since the Nirvana frontman has been gone that it’s hard to believe Cobain would only be in his early fifties. Obviously, we joked around a lot here today, but reflecting on that sort of thing highlights how tragic every suicide really is. Young victims miss out on so very much: some of it good, much of it bad, but all of it worth experiencing.
Jennifer Lopez makes it too easy to love her. Let’s all please take a moment to applaud her for her latest performance. No — not for her singing, acting, or her incredible dancing skills — but because she just made the most hilarious and savage comment ever. Lopez recently opened up to her fans by sharing new behind-the-scenes footage from her mini-documentary “It’s My Party: Showtime!” while on the road for her 50th birthday tour. She opened up about her past, her show preparations, and of course, Alex Rodriguez. J. Lo even shared details on her upcoming wedding with A. Rod (“the one”) , who proposed in March after more than two years together. “Now it’s been three years now,” the mother of two said of her romance with the former MLB player. “[We’ll get married] soon, not soon-soon, but next year.” “I’d like a big wedding, I’d like to get married in a church this time. Never been married in a church,” she shared. The singer then got real about an area we’re all interested in, whether we like to admit it or not — her long list of ex lovers. Over the course of her career, she’s reportedly dated Diddy, Ben Affleck, Casper Smart, back-up dancer Cris Judd and Drake (!) . To name just a few. The Second Act star has also been previously married… three times. But it’s all good because she informed us that her first two marriages didn’t even count. (Cue applause). While Lopez was busy filling us all in on her wedding plans, she took a moment to explain why she was married three times prior to Rodriguez. For those of you who don’t know, J. Lo was married twice before her marriage to Marc Anthony, with whom she shares 11-year-old twins Max and Emme. The first was to a waiter in 1997 and then to a dancer in 2001. “I’ve been married three times, and one was nine months and one was 11 months, so I don’t really count those ,” she said. “But I was married to Marc for 10 years, with the kids.” “I was very young the first two times I tried to get married,” she reasoned while laughing. “I’m saying tried .” She also went on to admit that she tends to want to be with someone who is around all the time. “It seems like in this life you’re always surrounded by people, you’re never lonely — but it’s very lonely,” she said. “So you always want somebody with you. “And I felt like if I got married, I felt like I would always have somebody, but that’s not how life works,” she added. Ultimately, she acknowledged that getting married for the company was “a bad reason.” But luckily with A. Rod, things are different. This will mark Jen’s fourth ( sorry, second) walk down the aisle — but she knows this marriage will last because she’s getting married to someone who makes her a better person. “The right one is when you find somebody who makes you better,” she said. We’re very happy for J. Lo and that she finally found the right guy! And from the looks of their adorable and happy blended family , we are sure things will work out in Lopez’s favor this *second* time around.
The cast of Sister Wives is back on camera as filming begins on the new season . This is welcome news for fans of the series (who miss the drama), as well as the Browns themselves (who really need that TLC paycheck right about now). But one thing you won’t see in the new season is the hilarious baby bump photo that Maddie Brown just revealed on her Instagram Story. The 23-year-old Sister Wives star is now in her third trimester, and wow does it show! Maddie took the selfie from an unusual angle that puts her huge baby bump front and center. She really wants us to know she’s far along. And it’s not just the baby who’s almost ready. We can tell Maddie’s ready to get this over with too. If the nonplussed look on her face doesn’t tell you this girl is over it, she spells it out in the caption. “I am about 98% done mentally with being pregnant,” Maddie writes. Maddie fittingly included a smiley face with a sweat drop emoji, usually used to signify a mixture of relief and discomfort. Maddie’s first child, two-year-old Axel, seems to be entertaining himself on the couch in the background. Meanwhile, Maddie’s husband Caleb Brush sits nearby, apparently taking a phone call, keeping an eye on Axel, and generally being too busy to be in this photo right now. This is not Maddie’s first baby bump photo. It’s not really her cutest, either. But it might be her realest! We all know pregancy isn’t always graceful or glamorous. It can also be messy, chaotic, even dangerous. And it can make everday tasks an exhausting challenge. It’s refreshing that Maddie chose to share this candid, genuine, slightly stress-inducing moment with us. All that said, Maddie looks happy, healthy, and positvely glowing in plenty other pregancy photos, and we know she’s really excited to meet the new baby. “This pregnancy feels less real for some reason,” Maddie told Us Weekly in January. “But I’m still over the moon,” she added. Of course it’s been a while since that first announcement in January. We’re betting the situation feels a lot more real now that she’s sporting that baby bump. Despite being “98% done mentally,” Maddie still has some time to prepare before the big day — her new baby isn’t due until August. We can’t be sure if Maddie and Caleb have picked out a name yet, but we learned back in April that the two will be expecting a baby girl. The couple posed together on Instagram, where they made the announcement publicly. Caleb was shocked to learn he would be having a daughter. He was reportedly so surprised by the news that he made the ultrasound tech check three times, just to be sure. “I just had it in my head it would be a boy,” Caleb said in a statement to People . It almost sounds like he’s a little disappointed, but both Caleb and Maddie have said they are excited to be welcoming a girl into the family. One person who’s definitely not disappointed? Maddie’s mother, Sister Wives star Janelle Brown. “My mom was so excited and shocked, she got a little teared up,” Maddie told People. “Something about a girl I guess,” she concluded. We’ll likely see plenty more of Maddie’s baby bump between now and the due date. And hopefully, we’ll catch a glimpse of Janelle’s future granddaughter on the next season of Sister Wives .

Earlier this week, we reported on the surprising news that Katy Perry and Taylor Swift have officially ended their feud . While the pop landscape might be a more peaceful place as a result, it was undeniably a sad day for fans of petty celebrity rivalries. Fortunately, the equally-entertaining Taylor Swift-Kim Kardashian feud appears to be going strong! Taylor just dropped a new single entitled “You Need to Calm Down,” and while the song is ostensibly a straightforward pro-LGBTQ anthem, many fans ate convinced that several lines have double meanings and are intended as subtle jabs against Kim. Kim’s prison reform efforts brought her back to the White House today, and the 38-year-old apparently feels that Swift’s new song cast a shadow over what should have been one of the proudest moments of her career. “Apparently, Taylor will never be done shading Kim, but Kim is letting her appearance at the White House yesterday speak for itself,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “It just so happened that the day Taylor announced her album, Kim spoke at the White House in front of the whole world, completely blowing her out of the water.” The insider says Taylor’s sly disses were not lost on Kim, who selected her attire for today in order to send a message to Swift: “And it is no coincidence at all that Kim wore green, the color of the snake,” the source claims. Using a White House event on prison reform as an opportunity to throw subtle shade at a pop star sounds insane — but then again, so does everything else about 2019. So Radar’s interpretation is that Taylor’s new single just happened to drop on the same day that Kim spoke at the White House. But the folks over at Cosmo make a pretty convincing argument that Swift planned it that way and loaded her lyrics with coded jabs at Trump. As many have observed on Twitter, it might not be a coincidence that the song was released on the Donald’s birthday. And the progressive lyrics present exactly the sort of argument that tends to deepen the president’s perma-scowl: “You are somebody that we don’t know / But you’re coming at my friends like a missile / Why are you mad? / When you could be GLAAD?” Swift sings at one point. “Sunshine on the street at the parade / But you would rather be in the dark ages,” she later croons. “’Cause shade never made anybody less gay.” Obviously, much of this situation is open to interpretation, but the Radar source assures us that things are about to escalate rapidly: “Kim will continue to drop more subtle hints on social media as more of Taylor’s album becomes revealed,” the insider claims. “She is really sick of it, but at the end of the day they both kind of live for it.” Fortunately, so do we!
