Mackenzie McKee was barely in the last season of Teen Mom OG, but man, there was more than enough to cement her place in the show, right? The scenes with her mother tugged at everyone's heartstrings, and as if that wasn't enough to inspire viewers to tune in, there was also plenty of drama with her husband, Josh. Like, enough that they're now headed for a divorce. And according to some new statements she just made on Instagram, she's more than ready for the divorce to be finalized … 1. So Many Troubles Let’s be real, Mackenzie and Josh have never had a picture perfect relationship. 2. Memories He got her pregnant when they were teenagers, securing her spot on Teen Mom 3, and they went on to get married and have two more children together, but like … they were hardly “goals” or anything. 3. Dang It, Josh Honestly, it seemed like Josh simply tolerated Mackenzie at best. 4. Well … That’s why it wasn’t too surprising when their marriage blew up on the last season of Teen Mom OG. 5. Bringing the Drama Mackenzie popped up on the show towards the end of the season as a bit of a trial run — the idea seemed to be that if she did well, MTV would offer her a permanent spot. And, well, it seems like she really did her best. 6. Poor Angie For one, she’s currently dealing with her mother, who is suffering from cancer and was given just six months to live back in the spring. The scenes featuring this have been heartbreaking, but a lot of people have related to it as well. View Slideshow
Jenelle Evans doesn’t have the greatest track record when it comes to telling the truth. In fact, it’s a pretty safe bet that if Jenelle’s mouth is moving, she’s lying — especially if she’s talking about her mouth. Allow us to explain: For years now, Teen Mom 2 fans have been scrutinizing Jenelle’s dental situation. In photos and videos — even the ones she posts herself — it often appears that Jenelle is missing teeth. And we’re not talking about an absent molar or two that might have been knocked out in some sort of accident. No, some fans are convinced that Jenelle is missing most of her teeth and has been forced to invest in a set of dentures. Needless to say, that’s an unusual set of circumstances for young women who are still in their twenties. But in Evans’ case, there are two possible theories with regard to the cause of her jaw trauma. We know that her husband, David Eason, is abusive because … well, there’s a mountain of evidence to that effect. Most recently, Eason beat, shot and killed the family dog during one of his signature fits of rage. And that certainly wasn’t the first instance of David exhibiting violent behavior. Remember when Jenelle called 911 on David after he allegedly attacked her during a “drunk and dramatic” altercation at the couple’s home? Those who have heard the recording are unlikely to ever forget it. “My husband, he assaulted me. He pinned me down on the ground in the yard,” a sobbing Jenelle told the dispatcher. Jenelle Evans 911 Call “I think I heard my f—ing collarbone crack. I can’t move my arm.” So we suppose it comes as no surprise that some fans believe David knocked Jenelle’s teeth out. But that’s just one theory. As you probably know Jenelle has a long history of drug use , and some fans think that’s the cause of her tooth loss. Whatever the case, the rumors are persistent enough that Evans felt the need to address them un her Instagram Story on Wednesday: “Let’s put this rumor to rest everyone,” she said when a fan asked about the theory. “I have got a retainer that’s like fake teeth, and that’s what I had to straighten out my jaw,” Evans added. “I have my teeth — these are all my teeth,” Jenelle said, pointing to her mouth “And why did I need to straighten out my jaw?” she asked. “Because I have an overbite really bad, and it almost touches the bottom of my teeth.” Of course, as many have pointed out on Twitter, at no point in the video does Jenelle show her teeth without the “retainer” in her mouth. But regardless of whether or not she’s telling the truth, the saddest part of this story might be that Jenelle felt the need to make the video at all. “Isn’t it sad that you have to prove you have teeth because nobody would be surprised if you lost them because of drugs or because your husband knocked them out?” wrote one Twitter user. That just about sums this mess up. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Hints at Separation From David Eason, Seems to Be Missing Teeth [UPDATED]
Alaskan Bush People fans are still reeling from the news that Bear Brown and Raiven are expecting a child even though they broke up . But Bear isn’t the only one of Billy’s children who’s making headlines this month. One if Billy’s daughter’s is roasting her old man — and every other member of the family. This month, Billy Brown’s estranged Texan daughter took to Facebook to sharply shade her entire extended family. “I’ve never been the average person, walking with the herd or conforming to the masses,” Twila Byars’ post begins. She continues, admitting that she was “at some point thinking I was somewhat abnormal according to the ‘normal.'” So far, of course, she sounds like she’s in lock step with her numerous half-siblings up in Washington. But,a s you’ll see, she is of a different opinion. “So I had an Epiphany today after reading a few things,” Twila shares with her followers. WIth context, we’re guessing that she read some reports about the Brown family. Twila says that she has come to realize “that IM ACTUALLY THE NORMAL ONE IN MY D.N.A. Lineage!” Note that she does not use the word “family” or “father.” That speaks volumes. “Normal, average, and boring never felt so good,” her post concludes. If you don’t know who Twila Byars is … we don’t blame you. For decades she has lived in Texas while Billy lived in Alaska, then Beverly Hills, and now Washington with Ami and their children. But yes, she is Billy’s daughter. Reports say that the two have spoken from time to time, though “keep in touch” doesn’t mean that they speak frequently. She also appeared briefly on Alaskan Bush People in 2016. So what could Tila possibly mean when she puts Billy and seemingly his and Ami’s entire brood on blast? They are, after all, her half-siblings. And Rain, if you’ll recall, is still a minor. But we have to guess that this is at least partially about Bear Brown. The self-described King of Extreme got engaged late in August of this year. He and Raiven, his hot model girlfriend, were so excited … until they broke up, not two weeks later. A two week engagement must be a record, even for reality shows. But that wasn’t the end of their story. After resolving to remain friends, the two of them had another announcement that caught even them by surprise. Raiven is pregnant by Bear. While the two have wisely decided to co-parent as friends, it’s definitely unexpected news. Baby announcements may come before or after the engagement, but seldom after the breakup. Tila may have been taking aim at that. That said, she could have been talking about almost anything. Rumor has it that Gabe and his girlfriend, Raquell, may have been rushed into their own engagement. Then there’s Matt Brown’s extensive struggle with alcohol abuse and his recent resolve to keep on the striaght and narrow. We hope that it’s not about the latter. Addiction is a serious ailment. Whatever it is, Tila’s callout post may end up being only the start of massive family drama. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

According to the Daily Mail, Hailey and some of her famous pals — yes, Kendall Jenner — took on the night by going out in West Hollywood and hitting several spots, including Delilah’s nightclub. Just like your normal bachelorette party crew, it was filled with penis-shaped accessories, bride tribe wine cups, and of course, a veil!

HollywoodLife reports that paparazzi caught the girls starting their night with dinner at Ysabel before they continued to the bars. Kendall was even photographed getting out of the backseat of a car with a raunchy penis-shaped cup before entering the club. Earlier in the day, it was reported that Jenner entered a sex store, but it looks like we now know why… Such a good bestie! Even though Hailey officially married Justin on Sept. 13, 2018, in a courthouse in New York, their friends and family members weren’t there to celebrate the newlyweds properly.

However, it looks like the Biebers are finally ready to tie the knot , for real this time. The wedding is rumored to be taking place this weekend at a church in South Carolina.

Ok, I am a little too excited to see the guestlist for this event, please be here already! If you remember, the ceremony was rescheduled several times due to Justin’s emotional health and well-being. Poor Hailey has been patiently waiting for her dream wedding day, and we’re so excited that the time has finally come for her!

This week, 90 Day Fiance: The Other Way viewers were totally weirded out by Liam and Aladin’s awkward bath house conversation . Some fans thought that Liam was too far, that he was being rude and selfish and even childish, wanting his mom to come home and take care of him. Now, however, we’re learning that the truth is the opposite. AnDre Leila took to social media in an impassioned defense of his son, Liam. “Just wanted to set things straight,” the clarifying post begins. “To anyone who says Liam is dumb or disrespectful,” he addresses his message. “Or has mental problems.” He asserts: “You people are dumb as s–t.” Wow. Tell us how you really feel, dude. “For one thing, Laura was living off of Liam in Floriday,” Leila reveals. “He made the money,” he reveals. “And supported the household.” The post continues: “So he does not want money from her.” Some had speculated that Liam wanted Laura to return to the US so that he could mooch off of her. Leila states that it’s quite to the contrary, “’cause she is broke as f–k.” “Another thing,” Leila writes. “Is he was not rude to that dude.” He says that “TLC cut and spliced film to make it look like he was disrespectful.” Apparently this was “so all you idiots could talk about it like this.” That … is very easy to believe, actually. What follows, folks, is getting into spoiler territory. Be warned. “Laura is already divorced from that dude and is living in Ecuador for whatever reason,” Leila writes. Yes, we have already reported that Laura and Aladin are divorcing and that Laura is currently in Ecuador with Evelin. He argues: “You can’t fault a kid for loving his mom and wanting what’s best for her.” “You don’t know what he has gone through,” the post continues. “With all of the red neck f–ks she has dated.” We can imagine. Sometimes very nice and loving mothers have abhorrent taste in men. “Trust me,” Leila tells anyone reading. “Laura is a crazy mess.” In contrast: “Liam is a very level-headed, intelligent kid.” His post concludes: “I know this because he is my son!” It’s good to hear that explained, even if it is by a third party who was not present at the time. Incidentally, we have heard other things about Laura that may explain even more — things that even Liam’s father does not know. Laura was reportedly served with divorce papers from Aladin while she was filming the Tell All special. So what do we know that Liam’s father does not? Well, for one thing, she’s in Ecuador to hang out with Evelin … possibly because she has no other place to go. And why is that? Because she’s spent the past few decades living in Florida … but she’s not a native Floridian. Nor is she even an American. If reports are to be believed, Laura Canadian. And apparently she was in Florida as an undocumented immigrant for all of this time. Her son is an American and was providing her with a roof over her head for years. Now, Liam can’t house his mother anymore and she has to figure out her next move because she can’t return to the US. It’s no wonder that Liam was so, so concerned about his mother. She can never come back home. No jiggy-jiggy is worth that. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance The Other Way Spoilers: Do Tiffany and Ronald Make It?
Surprising news out of a Los Angeles County courtroom today, as Radar Online is reporting that Brian Hickerson — the controversial boyfriend of actress Hayden Panettiere — will not be charged with domestic assault . Hickerson was arrested back in May after police responded to a 911 call from Hayden’s neighbors. The case appeared to be open and shut, as neighbors testified that they heard sounds of an argument, followed by a female voice crying out in pain. It was later revealed that Hickerson had been charged with brutally beating Panettiere three times over the course of two days and was expected to serve time behind bars for the attacks. In a stunning turn of events, however, Panettiere refused to testify against her ex in court. According to Radar, Hayden’s family was contacted and informed that if the actress did not show up for today’s hearing, the prosecution would be left without witnesses and would have no choice but to drop the charges. It’s possible that the DA might subpoena Panettiere at a later date, which would mean re-filing charges against Hickerson. “If they subpoena her, they’d reopen the case,” a source close to the case tells Radar. The insider revealed that Hayden’s family is “disappointed” in the outcome but uncertain as to whether or not they should encourage the actress to take the steps necessary to see that Hickerson is brought to justice. “With all the evidence the police had, it’s not enough even without Hayden? It’s a fault in our judicial system,” says the informant. “It is not on Brian’s own good behavior that this got dismissed. It doesn’t change who is and what he has done. He is a criminal.” Despite the perceived miscarriage of justice, it seems likely that Hickerson will not face a second trial, as it appears that Hayden would prefer to simply move on with her life. According to the source, she and Hickerson “planned this” outcome, and the charges were “never going to go through” per an arrangement they reached ahead of the trial date. “It doesn’t shed a good light on Hayden,” says the insider. “It’s a bad choice to avoid the summons and not follow through,” the source continues. “It’s certainly not the end of the journey for Hayden or Brian.” We’d like to point out that it’s important to avoid victim-shaming in a case such as this, and it’s crucial Hayden do whatever is best for her mental health If there’s any bright side to this situation, it’s that Hayden and Brian appear to have finally parted ways. Unfortunately, it looks as though the actress and her ex still run in the same social circle due to the fact that Panettiere is now dating Hickerson’s brother . We’ll have further updates on this ongoing story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrities Accused of Domestic Violence
Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard are proving once again that they do not play by their family’s rules . Of course, because we are everyday, ordinary citizens, we support their rebellious behavior. But someone, anyone, please go get Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar a wet cloth! As many Counting On fans know, because of the family’s strict religious background, Jim Bob and Michelle have very intense rules set in place for their 19 children. And these rules are no joke. Besides no hugging before marriage, no celebrating Halloween , and no dancing, they are also expected to not further their education by going to college. While most parents get angry or frustrated at their child for not wanting to attend school, Michelle and Jim Bob’s parenting skills are rather different and very outdated. They believe that their homeschooling is enough to get the job done, which wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing if they didn’t draw the line at learning outside of their walls. It’s honestly sad that Jim Bob and Michelle are so committed to raising their children by these weird standards that they’re willing to jeopardize their children’s futures. But when it comes to Jill and Derick Duggar, well, it actually sounds like they may want what’s best for their kids! According to a new confession by Jill’s husband, their children may not be following their unconventional path of learning! In a new post on Instagram, a fan asked Derick if he and Jill’s sons, Samuel and Israel, will head to college one day, to which he responded, “Probably.” Derick’s college statement surprised many fans, mainly because Jill is very open up about how much she loves homeschooling her two boys . “Even when I was looking at homeschooling curriculum (yes, Israel [only] just turned three but I’m just excited!), I was reminded of all the fun things my mom did with us kids to help make learning fun!” Jill said in a May 2018 post. She added that she is always reminded by her mom in some way, whether it be cooking, gardening, singing, organizing, or teaching. But luckily, it sounds like she won’t be as strict on her children as her mom was on her, and her 18 siblings. Derick’s thoughts on education may have recently changed since the controversial Duggar-in-law decided to attend college last year. He is enrolled in a three-year program at the University of Arkansas School of Law and he is very open about his experience. “Loved spending some quality time with my oldest son, who accompanied me as I wrapped up some stuff on campus today,” Derick captioned a photo of Israel inside of a library, adding #futurelawhog. Radar reported that Derick decided to go back to school after he and Jill got kicked off the family’s hit TLC show for his homophobic comments regarding Jazz Jennings . Jill, according to Radar , is working as a midwife for the time being. We can only hope that Derick and Jill continue to bend the Duggar family rules for the sake of their family maybe turning out somewhat normal; besides, we would love to see their kiddos start a new family tradition! You know, one that allows you to make friends, connect with the world, and well, learn things other than the bible. Unless, of course, their TLC show is still going strong. Wow, that’s a terrifying thought. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar Encourages U.S. Wives to Rail Their Husbands Many, Many Times Per Week
Source: Adriana M. Barraza/WENN.com / WENN If you ever wanted the smooth, soothing voice of Samuel L. Jackson as your in-home virtual assistant, Amazon has you covered. The company has announced the veteran actor ‘s voice is a new option for customers of its Alexa device. Variety reports : Samuel L. Jackson inked a deal with Amazon to provide first celebrity voice option for Alexa, its cloud-based digital assistant. According to the ecommerce giant, it will add more celebrity guest voices for the platform starting in 2020. The Jackson “voice pack” for Alexa will be available later this year for the special intro price of 99 cents — and users can select either clean and explicit modes. Jackson’s baritone is coming to Alexa thanks to a new Neural Text-to-Speech technology developed by Amazon, announced at the company’s Amazon Devices event in Seattle Wednesday. That’s designed to make Alexa’s default female voice more human-sounding, with more emotive and expressive speech. It also lets Alexa replicate speech inflections of real people, too — meaning Jackson’s voice on Alexa will be synthesized, rather than delivered as pre-recorded words or phrases. To get started, after installing the Jackson voice pack, Alexa users just say, “Alexa, introduce me to Samuel L. Jackson,” then choose whether they want him to use explicit language or not. Some example commands Amazon offered: “Alexa, ask Samuel L. Jackson where he is from”; “Alexa, ask Sam to wake me up at 7 a.m.”; and “Alexa, ask Sam Jackson to sing happy birthday.” (The company said the celebrity voice packs will not be able to help with shopping, lists, reminders or skills.) Amazon Alexa has announced a new slew of products, including earbuds, an auto device for cars, Echo-enabled glasses, and more. See the whole lineup here . — Photo: WENN
On an upcoming episode of WeTv’s “Untold Stories Of Hip Hop,” rapper Cardi B opens up about being sexually harassed early on in her career. “I will never forget how I went to shoot for this magazine and the photographer, he was trying to get close to me like, ‘Yeah, you want to get in this magazine?’ Then he pulled his d— out,” Cardi told host Angie Martinez in a clip obtained by PEOPLE. “I was so f—ing mad, and I was just like, ‘This is crazy.’” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news. ( Terms and conditions ). Cardi was shocked when the magazine owner didn’t even flinch when she brought the assault to his attention. The moment came back to mind for the 26-year-old as the “Me Too” movement became mainstream. “I was like, ‘[You’re] fucking bugging. You know what? I’m out,’” she explained. “You know what’s so crazy? I told the magazine owner and he just looked at me like, ‘So? And?’ When I see the Me Too movement — there’s girls from the hood I know that went through the same type of treatment, like they make you feel like you got to do a certain type of thing for the most bulls— s—. It happens, really, every day.” Martinez asked the new mom if she had encountered an unfortunate incident like that since. Cardi responded, “Oh, hell no. I’ll put you on blast on my Instagram … I’ll f—ing violate.” This isn’t the first time Cardi has opened up about the assault. She told Cosmo in 2018, “When I was trying to be a [music video] vixen, people were like, ‘You want to be on the cover of this magazine?’ Then they pull their d—s out. I bet if one of these women stands up and talks about it, people are going to say, ‘So what? You’re a ho. It don’t matter.’” You can watch more of the episode when it airs on VH1 Thursday, Sept. 26 at 10 p.m. EST on WE tv. Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing!
