Jamie Spears Evades Child Abuse Charges Despite Alleged Attack

Any true fans of Britney Spears rejoiced at the news that Jamie Spears is no longer her conservator (for now). But many have hoped that he’ll be brought to justice over an alleged attack on Britney’s son Sean Preston. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly), police who were investigating have thrown up their hands and announced that Jamie will not be charged. Ventura County District Attorney Gregory D. Totten had the unenviable task of reporting that justice will not be served. “Criminal charges will not be filed against James Spears, of Westlake Village,” Totten announced, according to RadarOnline . He continued: “The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office investigated allegations involving child abuse by Mr. Spears.” “After reviewing the evidence,” Totten confessed. “There is insufficient proof that a criminal offense was committed by Mr. Spears.” That is a disappointment, but not a shocker. An inside source previously related the alleged events in question to RadarOnline . “Britney had the boys at Jamie’s condo on the evening of August 24,” the insider began. “Jamie and Sean Preston got into an argument,” the source noted. The insider explained that “Sean Preston felt unsafe and locked himself into a room.” No child should ever be given reason to feel unsafe around family, but it’s doubly awful that this was not enough to remove him from harm’s way. “Jamie broke into the room and shook Sean Preston,” the source revealed, matching up with all other descriptions of the event. That is awful. That is a description of abuse. “Jamie has a temper,” another insider noted. “Which is no secret to anyone in the family.” “Fortunately, Britney did the right thing,” the source continued. “And,” the insider said, the pop superstar “took her boys to safety and away from her father.” “The whole incident was very upsetting to her and her boys,” the source related. The insider added: “Kevin was and still is furious.” “Preston was not physically injured,” the source noted. “But very scared and shaken up.” Pun not intended, we hope. Most domestic abuse does not result in physical injuries. It doesn’t make it any less evil. So why is it not shocking that Jamie isn’t being charged with anything? Because most of us are all too aware of how little our society actually cares about the safety of children — at least when it comes to danger in their families. Look in the comments section of almost any story about domestic violence against a child, and you’re likely to see people applauding it. Additionally, our legal system is centuries old and not designed to prosecute abuse of a girlfriend, spouse, or child. When it was designed, remember, wives and children were essentially property of men. Too many times, investigations — even those with eyewitnesses — end with police shrugging at “insufficient evidence of a crime.” That has to change. In the mean time, thankfully, both Sean Preston and Jayden James are safe from that elderly ogre of a man. Britney is under a conservatorship, meaning that she felt that she could not sufficiently protect her sons from her father since he runs her life. So she did what any responsible mother would and amended her custody agreement so that Kevin has custody 70% of the time. Now, the boys are safe even with her, as they have restraining orders keeping Jamie away from them for the next three years. With luck, these orders will keep Britney’s sons safe for the rest of Jamie’s life. View Slideshow: Britney Spears Fans Accuse Her Team of Orchestrating Cover-Up, Faking Pics & Videos

Mackenzie McKee Talks Divorce, Says She’s Totally "Broken"

Mackenzie McKee is going through a lot these days. The new Teen Mom OG cast member is dealing with her mother's ongoing cancer battle, along with her recent split from husband Josh. The reality star announced this impending divorce in mid-August , sounding somewhat optimistic about her future despite this unfortunate development. But now McKee doesn't sound like she's in a great place. Nor does she sound like a huge fan of Josh. Scroll down for the latest on the MTV personality and her personal life… 1. Where did it all go wrong? When Josh cheated on her? Or, at least, when allegations of Josh cheating on her surfaced. 2. Did he actually cheat? TBD, we guess. On McKee’s first episode of Teen Mom OG, we watched as Mackenzie grew concerned over her husband’s fidelity after he left for a rodeo and a woman contacted McKee, alleging that she witnessed Josh flirting with another female. 3. What’s the history here? The couple tied the knot in 2013 and have been dating since 2009. They have three kids: son Gannon, 7, daughter Jaxie Taylor, 5, and Broncs Weston, who turned 3 this summer. 4. How did McKee break the news? “I would like to say, that due to stress, me needing to stay focused, the media, etc. I am deciding my marriage needs a break. My heart breaks for my kids. But as of right now, this is what’s best. Thank you,” the reality star wrote back on August 24. 5. Staying Positive “Freshly single and ready to, be the boss babe that I am and let God lead me to what i deserve,” McKee later wrote in as a caption to a selfie. She later edited the caption to point out that the picture “is an old photo so my ring is on.” 6. It all sounded pretty amicable at the time… … but then? Things took a turn for the dramatic and cantankerous. View Slideshow

Tekashi69 Snitches to Get Out of Prison, Gets Mercilessly Dragged Online

Back in November,  Tekashi69 was arrested on such a lengthy list charges that it might be easier to list the crimes of which he hasn’t been accused. Suffice it to say, entire epic-length, Scorsese-esque crime dramas have won Oscars with far less material than can currently be found in the pages of Mr. 69’s rap sheet. Soliciting sex from a minor? Tekashi stands accused. Putting out a hit on one of his rivals? Prosecutors say the rapper is guilty. Conspiring to murder 50 Cent ? Tekashi’s own gang admits to going down that road. You get the idea. With all that he’s been accused of, it should come as no surprise that Tekaashi is facing life in prison. And it probably won’t come as much of a shock that he’s turned state’s witness in an effort to avoid that rather unpleasant fate. Tekashi pled not guilty at his initial hearing late last year. On Tuesday, the 23-year-old — whose real name is Daniel Hernandez — took the stand for two hours of testimony, and he instantly began dropping names faster than Andy Cohen at a cocktail party. Hernandez was a member of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, which almost seems like overkill in the “scary gang name” department, but we’re gonna refrain from further comment for fear of pissing these guys off. He testified in the trial of Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack and Anthony “Harv” Ellison this week, and according to TMZ, the “clearly panicked” rapper identified the defendants as members of the Nine Trey gang. During his two hours of testimony, Tekashi claimed that he met the gang’s top brass while filming the gang-themed video for his single “Gummo.” “The gang image. Promote it. That’s what people like. It was a formula, a blueprint, I found that worked,” he told the jury. Tekashi says he and the gang members worked out an arrangement by which they would provide protection in exchange for access to his wealth and connections. Within months, Hernandez was an official member of the gang, with imprisoned Nine Trey leader Kifano “Shotti” Jordan serving as his manager. Needless to say, Tekashi soon found himself in over his head. Not only did he name names in court, Tekashi translated a mountain of arcane gang lingo for the jury like he some rainbow-haired incarnation of a Peaky Blinders fan page: “Blicky is another word for a gun,” he told prosecutors, according to the New York Daily News. “‘Billy’ is Nine Trey. ‘Hoover’ is its own set [of the gang].” He’s expected to serve a shorter sentence in exchange for his testimony, but it’ll likely be quite some time before 69 feels safe on the outside. On social media, Tekashi is already getting roasted for turning snitch. In addition to being the subject of countless unflattering memes, he has been harshly criticized by rappers both young (Skinnyfromthe9) and old (Snoop Dogg) for violating the sacred code of the streets. Of course these days, Hernandez’s reputation is probably the last thing on his mind. We’re guessing not getting shivved in the lunch line is more of a priority.

The Bachelor: Spoilers Confirmed! Selection Made! Viewers Aghast! Chaos Rages!

The worst kept secret on television was confirmed as official news on ABC last night. It’s tragically true, Mike Johnson fans and supporters: Peter Weber will be the next The Bachelor. This long-awaited announcement was made on the Tuesday night season finale of Bachelor in Paradise. “It’s still hitting me right now, and I feel so grateful right now just to have this opportunity in front of me,” Weber told Chris Harrison at the end of the reunion special. He added: “I feel emotional right now. This is crazy. This is life-changing. I have truly, my entire life, looked forward to finding my girl, and that first person that I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with… “I have all the faith in the world that this can work for me, and I know it’s going to.” Weber, of course, advanced to the final three on Hannah Brown’s most recent season of The Bachelorette. He became well-known and very respected for having slept with the former beauty queen a show record four times while they stayed overnight in a windmill . He seems perfectly nice and harmless and, yes, white… so it’s no real surprise that executives chose Weber. Thanks to a bunch of recent The Bachelor spoilers , we all saw this confirmation coming weeks ago, too. Asked what he learned from his relationship with Brown, the pilot replied on air: “From night one with that first toast to the very end when I said goodbye to her, she was 100 percent unapologetically herself, and I love that. And that’s something that I definitely want to carry forward with my journey now.” Sounds like he’s gone to ABC Cliche School and graduated with honors, huh? Other frontrunners for the job were Brown’s former suitors Mike Johnson and Tyler Cameron, plus Bachelor in Paradise favorite Derek Peth. Shortly after Weber was announced, social media blew up with reaction to the news. Not much of it was positive… Johnson would have been the first-ever black lead on the show if he had been selected. He does appear to have moved on in amazing manner , but still. Come on, ABC! You had a real shot to make history here. Right, Rachel Lindsay? “I think Peter seems like a very nice guy. He seems lovely. This is absolutely nothing against him, but how many Peters have we seen before?” the only-ever black Bacheloerette told ET of the latest casting, adding: “What season are we on? 24. So, we’ve seen 24 Peters. I’m bored. And it’s nothing personal against him.” The Bachelor Season 14 will premiere on January 6, 2020.

Wendy Williams: If Felicity Huffman Were Black, She’d Be Serving 14 YEARS!

The world remains outraged that Felicity Huffman is serving 14 days in prison for her role in the college bribery scandal. Many feel that she got off easy because she's rich and famous. Wendy Williams would like to add to that: if Felicity had been black, her sentence would have been much harsher. When Wendy Williams said “Season 11, I'm going harder than ever,” she clearly meant it. “So Felicity Huffman's only going to prison for 14 days?!” “I mean, if she were black, it'd be 14 years number one.” She's not wrong, really. Studies show that even doctors view black women less favorably than white women. You know that courts do, too. Wendy then briefly confuses Felicity with Lori. “She paid $15,000 and she's worth million,” Wendy observes, saying that Felicity paid to “have her daughter's SAT scores changed.” “And that's where her trouble is,” she states. “So,” Wendy continues. “She admitted what she did. She's going to jail for 14 days.” “She pays $30,000 in restitution — maybe a few more dollars,” she assesses. When you're talking about a pair of movie stars, that's not a huge fine. “Do I think she’ll ever work again? Yeah,” Wendy admits. “Because first of all, she copped to it,” she points out. “Second of all, she’s one half of a power couple in Hollywood,” Wendy reasons. She adds: “And she’s a nice woman. She just did something that I think a lot of mothers would do if you had the means.” Wendy then asks her audience if they would do the same for their children, given the chance. A shocking number of them clap. (Folks, you can take the SAT repeatedly and it's genuinely not a difficult test; let your kid get the scores that they get) Wendy then very correctly points to a case that constrasts with Felicity's. (When the scandal first broke, outrage over this particular case showed the disparity between rich white women and their poor brown counterparts) A woman in Connecticut — who is black — was sentenced to five years in prison. She didn't bribe anyone. She didn't pay someone to impersonate her child to give them a better test score. All that she did was use a relative's address as her child's home address to give her child a better zip code and thus a better education. Remember, this was a woman overcoming racism — because yes, schools being funded by local property taxes is not race-blind. It's a decades-old system designed to ensure that rich, white homeowners aren't paying for the educations of poor people. And because of other racial injustices in America, a disproportionate number of low-income families are black or brown. Most people wouldn't consider what this mom did a crime. You'd equate it with sending your kids to a rich neighborhood to go trick-or-treating. But clearly, prosecutors felt that this woman defrauded more affluent parents by giving her child a better chance at life. Meanwhile, Felicity gets 14 days. Nice though she may be, that's not right. Wendy notes that she feels that Felicity should have been fined millions — with that money going to those who cannot afford a better education. That is a great idea. A genuinely great idea. At the end, Wendy states that she doesn't even feel like discussing Lori, whom everyone feels did much worse than what Felicity did.

Alex Trebek Shares Sad Cancer Update, Needs Chemotherapy Again

Alex Trebek has some very unfortunate news to share. About four months after the Jeopardy! host told fans he was in ” near remission ” after having been diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer… … the beloved television personality is here to say otherwise. In an interview that aired on Tuesday’s Good Morning America, the long-running Jeopardy! host revealed that he’s once again undergoing chemotherapy. “The doctors have decided that I have to undergo chemo again and that’s what I’m doing,” Trebek explained, adding: “I was doing so well and my numbers went down to the equivalent of a normal human being who does not have pancreatic cancer, so we were all very optimistic. “They said, ‘Good, we’re gonna stop chemo, we’ll start you on immunotherapy’ and I lost about 12 pounds in a week and my numbers went sky-high, much higher than they were when I was first diagnosed. It doesn’t sound like the 79-year old is feeling his best, either. Alex Trebek Offers Cancer Update “My hair started to grow back, but now I have to undergo chemo again, so what little hair I have grown [this summer] is going to disappear again,” he told GMA’s T.J. Holmes. “In terms of getting my strength back, that hasn’t happened, unfortunately.” Trebek, who revealed his cancer diagnosis on March 6 , has also lost a lot of weight of late. About 12 pounds in a week, to be exact. The host proceeded to tell GMA that “cancer is mysterious in more ways than one,” and that battling it has taken a tough toll on his body. “It has different effects on you,” he said. “For some reason, and I don’t understand why, occasionally it will cause excruciating pain in my lower back. Other times it’s fatigue, other times it’s nausea. It varies.” The terrible truth is that Trebek has one of the most aggressive types of cancer out there. The five-year survival rate is extremely small and the median survival rate for people diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer is three to six months. It is incurable. Trebek says he sometimes feels a “surge of sadness and depression,” but he also plans to continue hosting the game show for as long as he can “walk out and greet the contestants.” And as for death, Trebek said that he isn’t concerned. “I realize that there is an end in sight for me just as there is for everyone else,” he says. “One line that I have used for our staff in recent weeks and months is that when I do pass on, one thing they will not say at my funeral is, ‘Oh, he was taken too soon.'” But he disagrees with this predicted assessment. “I’m 79 years old. I’ve had one hell of a good life and I’ve enjoyed it. “And the thought of passing on doesn’t frighten me. It doesn’t. Other things do. The effect it’ll have on my loved ones, yes that bothers me, it makes me sad. “But the thought of myself moving on? Hey folks, it comes with the territory.” This is what Trebek said back in March: Just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Now, normally the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m gonna fight this and I’m gonna keep working and with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease. We wish him all the best. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer

Kate Middleton Fans Launch Racist Smear Campaign Against Meghan Markle: You Owe All Your Success to the OG Duchess!

There are many weird corners of the internet in which regular folks rally around public figures with the same fierce loyalty that sports fans demonstrate for their favorite football teams. There’s nothing wrong with this fervent devotion,  per se , but when it leads to viewing famous people as inhuman competing factions in some never-ending popularity contest, well … that’s when problems arise. Take, for example, the oft-dissected feud between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle . Now, Kate and Meghan are both successful women who appear to have as many differences as they do similarities, so it was always just a matter of time before the tabloid media pitted them against one another. But in this case, the gossip hounds didn’t have to work very hard, as it seems there really is some bad blood between the duchesses. At one point, the situation got so bad that Kensington Palace issued a statement about the feud . Shortly thereafter, however, things seemed to gradually cool down. As is usually the case with this sort of thing, there are conflicting accounts about how this came to be. Some say Prince Charles brokered a peace deal. Others claim their relationship benefited from Meghan’s decision to cut ties with the Sussexes by moving out of Kensington Palace and dividing their formerly co-run charitable organization into two separate entities. Whatever the case, the duchesses have learned to peacefully co-exist — which is great news for everyone except those weirdos who live for royal discord. And that’s how we found ourselves in our current situation, with Kate diehards launching weird, racist smear campaigns against Meghan. It all started with the bizarre claim that Meghan somehow “owes” Kate for her success. The idea that Kate invented the idea of royalty and Meghan should be groveling at her feet gave raise for a number of despicably bigoted memes: This one is actually an ironic refutation of those memes, but the fact that something like this was necessary should give you an idea of how rampant the “savior Kate” mentality has become. And it seems the current anti-Meg campaign is a two-pronged offensive, as Kate loyalists have also been spreading a rumor that Meghan plans to relaunch her defunct lifestyle site The Tig. Obviously, such a commercial endeavor of that nature would be considered beneath Meghan’s current station, and there’s no way it’s actually happening. The professional haters responsible for the rumor seem to have been inspired by the fact that Meghan recently renewed her trademark on the Tig name. But that doesn’t mean she’ll be publishing new content. “The lasting trademark is to prevent false branding, to avoid others purporting to be the Duchess or affiliated with her,” says a legal expert familiar with the situation. So there you have it Meghan won’t be breaching royal protocol by returning to her career as a content creator. That should be enough to placate the Kate obsessives, right? Jk. These maniacs won’t be satisfied until Kate and Meghan step into the MMA ring live on pay-per-view. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle’s Deleted Instagram Revealed: Booze, Boyfriends & Bedroom Selfies!
