Meri Brown Gives Fans Another Reason to Think She’s Done with Sister Wives

Yes, we’ve said this before . No, we don’t have any hard evidence to go on. But maybe, just maybe, Meri Brown is close to leaving Sister Wives — both the reality show and the entire polygamous situation — behind. The veteran TLC personality has given observers a brand new reason to think this could be the case. Over a year ago, Kody Brown dragged his supposed loved ones from Las Vegas to Flagstaff, Arizona. The family’s situation has sort of been a confusing mess ever since, considering no real construction is underway on the gigantic piece of property Kody purchased for his compound last year. But now some things are starting to come into focus in regard to which of the Sister Wives are really settled in for the long haul. Robyn, for example, has purchased a huge mansion with Kody . She isn’t going anywhere, that’s for certain. Christine, it should be noted, has also bought a home. Here’s the thing, though: Meri has not. The home Meri was renting in Flagstaff since August 29, 2018 was put on the market on July 1 of this year, forcing her to find a new (temporary) residence. According to online records, obtained by Radar Online, she is now renting a new home in Flagstaff. It’s a four-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home for $4,500 per month and, look, it may be a gorgeous place to live — but it also must be taken as a sign. If Meri were committed to putting down roots in Arizona, would she really be renting? Especially as her fellow Sister Wives all buy? We aren’t speculating in a vacuum here, either. Meri has given folks plenty of reasons to think she’s questioning her life choices… and we’re not even talking about her catfishing scandal from 2016, when she tried to date outside her spiritual marriage and ended up getting duped online. No. We’re talking about many of the cryptic social media posts Meri has shared over the past several weeks, going back to June when she clearly shaded her Sister Wives . “I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them,” she wrote at the time, adding: “In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness.” Doesn’t sound like someone in an ideal relationship, does it? About two months later, Brown took on her haters — whether they be Robyn or Christine or Janelle… or random trolls on the Internet. “The fact of the matter is, I’m living MY life for ME, and I’m happy with it. I’m confident in my choices. I’m happy with what I’m doing,” Brown stated on Instagram in late August, concluding: “And that’s all that matters.” Do these posts automatically mean Meri is about to ditch Kody and company? Of course not. But it’s been evident for years now, really, that she’s either unhappy or simply searching for something in life that she can’t quite place or explain in detail. We really hope Meri finds it. View Slideshow: Meri and Kody Brown: Is This Really It for the Sister Wives Couple?

Kourtney Kardashian: This Bish Stole $5,200 and Hacked Me!!

Keeping Up With The Kardashians has revealed that someone has been stealing from Kourtney to the tune of over $5,000 and an iPad. She also discovered that this person whom she had trusted had accessed her electronics, including her texts. On Sunday, we saw the dramatic moment when Kourtney went to confront this thief in her own home. “This lady stole $700 out of my wallet,” Kourtney complained on Sunday night's Keeping Up With The Kardashians . “Then,” Kourtney describes. “She stole $4,500 out of Scott's.” Remember, even though that may seem like an absurd amount of cash to have on hand, it's not his fault for it being stolen. She continues: “Then, my security who's here today, just said he's seen her two times with her flashlight on in the office.” Our question at this point is … did he tell Kourtney both of those times? I don't want to tell a guy how to do his job, but … Like so many of us, Kourt is not enthusiastic about the idea of confronting a thief over something so serious. “She's never coming here again,” Kourtney vows. “No s–t, Sherlock!” Khloe exclaims. Kourtney then reveals that she has been told that this thief “also hacked everything.” She expresses her feeling of violation upon this news, saying: “She's looking at my texts?” “Stand your ground!” Khloe demands. “This is your home, with your kids!” She then instructs: “Go downstairs, Kourtney!” “Go talk to your security!” Khloe forcefully advises. “Why are you texting if somebody's telling you that?” Probably because, like most people, she's a little rattled and reluctant when it comes to tackling an issue like this. As Kourtney heads down, Khloe admits: “Wait, I can't wait to hear this! This is so good! This is better than Real Housewives !” Naturally, by the time that Kourtney makes it down, a car is speeding away on the street. (Shoutout to the sound editors who almost certainly had to add that sound effect; it really sold the scene) “Oh my god,” Kourtney says, marveling at the drama of it all, including this last-minute escape. She contacts Kris. Honestly, calling Kris when you're in a crisis is probably always a good idea. Then, Kourtney goes upstairs with a laundry list of tasks for Megan on what needs to be done for her security. “We need to debug the house,” Kourtney notes as Megan takes notes. “And I want to take every device and unconnect it from my phone,” she adds. “And next time,” Kourt says. “We've learned a huge lesson.” “They cannot step foot in here for an interview without us having their social [security number], name, and address,” she affirms. That is very smart. People are less likely to steal from you when you know exactly who they are. Honestly, shoutout to Megan, who — as far as the show has shown us — was the one who discovered the missing cash. It is also believed that the thief stole Kourtney's iPad, which is how she would have accessed everything else. Some people are deeply suspicious of cleaning ladies and nannies to the point where they “test” these people. While it's great to hear that Kourtney does not fixate on suspecting her employees at all times, it's good that she's now being careful. Money is one thing (to her and Scott, anyway). Her kids and her electronic privacy are another.

Kim Kardashian & Hillary Clinton: The Press Bullies Meghan Markle Because She’s Black!

Both Kim Kardashian and Hillary Clinton were forced to endure a period of time in which they couldn’t give an interview without being forced to talk about Donald Trump. We imagine every day felt like an awkward Thanksgiving with the added pressure of knowing that if you say the wrong thing, you might find yourself quoted in ten million clickbait headlines. Thankfully, the trend of journalists grilling two of the world’s most famous women like they just got back from a date with the Donald seems to be subsiding. Now, the focus is on Hillary and Kim — their accomplishments, their visions for the future, and their efforts to make the world a better place. Just kidding — now they’re being asked about Meghan Markle, but that’s gotta be a welcome change of pace. As you’ve likely heard, Meghan has been treated unfairly by the British press. You might be inclined to point out that the relationship between the Royals and the UK media has always been a tense one. To which we say — you’re right. Indeed, the Windsors are used to being slandered by the tabloids — so when they say the current situation is unendurable, you know they’re not just being thin-skinned. Earlier this month, Prince Harry blasted the press for its egregious mistreatment of Meghan. And now, the Duchess of Sussex has gained two powerful allies from her home country: “I do want to say that the way she’s been treated is inexplicable,” Hillary told The Sunday Times of London . “If the explanation is that she’s biracial, then shame on everybody,” Clinton said, adding that she believes race is “certainly part of” the abuse. “She proudly had a career first and has a voice that she thankfully continues to use,” Chelsea Clinton added. “Anyone who has the temerity to break the mold of what has previously been established and expected often, unfortunately, receives criticism and bile that I don’t understand.” Kim was asked a similar line of questions by The Daily Mail , but interestingly, the paper chose to focus on the recent controversy of Meghan and Harry traveling in private jets , a tendency that many feel is at odds with the couple’s conservation efforts. (Seems that as the mother of biracial children, Kim might have some interesting thoughts n being biracial in the spotlight, but we digress …) “I think that everyone makes their own choices and decisions,” said Mrs. Kardashian-West. “And I think that, like I said, no one’s gonna be perfect. I’m not, they’re not. I don’t know who is.” Kim added: “I still love and value the fact they bring such attention to such important movements that need to happen and things that they’re really passionate about cause they’re still changing the world.” So whose support is more valuable to Meg? Tough to say. Obviously, Hillary is more accomplished, but globally, Kim is more famous. We just know that if Michelle Obama and Beyonce get in on this then bullying Meghan might soon be punishable by death. As it should be.

Sulli, 25-Year Old K-Pop Singer, Dead of Apparent Suicide

Sulli, a K-Pop singer best known for having been part of the band f(x), was found dead in her home on Monday afternoon near Seoul. She was 25 years old. According to multiple outlets, Sulli’s manager found the artist’s body and immediately called the police upon doing so. Details are still coming in regarding how this tragedy transpired, but early indications are that Sulli took her own life. This same aforementioned manager told authorities that his client suffered from depression. “So far, it seems she killed herself, but we will leave all possibilities open and investigate,” a police official said in a statement. The singer — whose real name is Choi Jin-ri —  was discovered on the second floor of her house in Sujeong-gu, Seongnam, south of the capital city, Seoul. No foul play is suspected and we’ve heard that a suicide note was found on the scene, but police have not yet divulged its content. Sulli’s agency, SM Entertainment, referred  to the news as “very hard to believe and sorrowful” in a statement to the Associated Press. Sulli started her career in the entertainment industry as a child actress… prior to starting her singing career in 2009 as one of the four members of the K-pop girl group f(x). She left the band in 2015 to return to acting, yet eventually continued releasing music as a solo artist. Her most recent song, “Goblin,” came out this past June. Sulli had the lead role in 2017 film “Real” and in “Pirates.” She recently shot the television series “Hotel Del Luna” for tvN, and was attached to “Persona” for Netflix. She had over five million followers on Instagram — and she spoke openly in 2014 and 2015 about suffering at the end of social media trolls and bullies for several months. Most notably, she came under fire years ago for dating an older rapper and then, in 2016, for performing on stage without a bra. “Even close people left me,” she said back then. “I was hurt by them and felt there was nobody who understands me, which made me fall apart.” She also said this one time: “My life is actually empty, so I feel like I’m lying to everyone by pretending to be happy on the outside. “I asked around a lot for advice. They told me, ‘Everyone has a dark side in their lives but they live pretending that they don’t. Don’t think of it as weird.'” Korean pop music — or K-pop — is one of the country’s biggest exports in the past decade. But the field has clearly taken its toll on many of its main participants. Sulli, for example, was good friends with K-pop star Jonghyun, who took his own life in 2017 at the age of 27. In May 2019, singer and actress Goo Hara — formerly part of girl band Kara — apologized to fans after being found unconscious at home after posting the word “Goodbye” on her Instagram page. We send our condolences to the friends, family members and loved ones of Sulli. May she rest in peace. View Slideshow: 34 Musicians Who Died Too Young

Angelina Pivarnick Sends Weird, Lingerie-Themed Message In Wake of JWoww Relationship Drama

Angelina Pivarnick has issued a very confusing statement in response to a very awkward situation. And it involves the reality star donning some black lingerie. Allow us to explain… This past Thursday night, MTV aired an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that featured Jenni Farley’s boyfriend of a few months, Zack Clayton Carpinello, peppering Angelina with questions about her sex life. It was weird. Then, a short while later on this same episode, Farley passed out while the group was dancing at a nightclub… only for Carpinello to then get caught on camera groping Angelina’s rear end . This was beyond weird. It was downright uncalled for an inappropriate. Consider this screen shot from the incident: Farley, of course, missed the copped feel because she was in a blacked-out, drunken stupor. But she then watched the episode along with dozens of viewers around the country and was appalled by what she witnessed — to the point that she wrote the following on Instagram: “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt. I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me.” She then made it clear that she had dumped Zack, concluding: For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this. For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a story line that will forever haunt me. My heart hurts on so many levels. One thing I learned from tonight’s episode is know your value. Don’t ever lower your standards. Since then,  Carpinello has also spoken out , addressing his shortcomings and saying he’s sorry for his insensitive actions. “I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for,” Zack wrote in a statement on his Instagram over the weekend, adding: “Jenni does not deserve any damage from anybody else. This is on me. I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well… “I love Jenni, with everything I have, I make this known to be every day. I will continue to do everything to make this known to her and her kids, who also have my heart. “I will make it certain that nothing like this ever happen again, in any way regardless of outcome.” Pretty solid statement, all things considered. So this all brings us back to Angelina. Having been caught in the middle of this unfortunate drama, the engaged Jersey Shore cast member felt a need to make her own stance known on everything. And she’s done so by sharing the picture below and quoting actress Audrey Hepburn in her affiliated caption, which reads: I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls.. I believe tomorrow is another day, and I believe in miracles. Well… okay then! We guess! These Jersey Shore episodes were filmed way back in the spring, remember. So while all the Zack-JWoww-Angelina dirt is being discussed online, there’s plenty more to play out on the small screen in the coming weeks. Such as what? Only an all-out war between these co-stars and occasional friends. See what we mean here: Jersey Shore Trailer Teases “All-Out War” Between Jenni and Angelina

Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus Share Thirst Traps, Confirm Relationship

It’s been over a week since Cody Simpson and Miley Cyrus were spotted kissing .  Since then, Miley put slut-shamers on blast , but that’s not quite the same as officially, officially confirming that they’re an item. Now, the two are sharing cutesy (and steamy) photos, touching tongues in bed, and yes, confirming that they’re dating. Cody Simpson opened up to In Touch Weekly and other tabloids about his happy new relationship with Miley Cyrus. “I’m very happy. Yeah, I’m very, very happy, so,” Cody began. “She’s creative, she’s very passionate about what she does, and I’m very similar in that sense,” he observes. Cody explains: “That’s why we get along so well.” “We just have a ball and that’s the most important part of a relationship,” he affirms. “It’s like … we’ve been friends … the reason why it’s not like … it hasn’t been a really crazy sudden thing,” Cody states. The secret to their newfound happiness “is we’ve been friends for so long.” Cody continues: “When we sort of found each other again in a space where … we both met back in the day when we were partying a lot.” “We had a lot of fun then,” he admits. “But now we’ve found each other in a space where we’re not partying, working real hard.” He expresses: “And just like keeps things healthy.” Cody cannot stop singing the praises of being friends before being lovers. “It breaks the ice,” he explains. “That had never happened to me before.” “Any girlfriend that I’ve had in the past has always been immediate romance,” Cody recalls. He continues: “And so it’s kind of like a different experience having been friends with somebody before and developing that into something more.” “It’s just like a very natural, healthy feeling,” Cody gushes. He also says that the fact that they’re both so familiar with each other’s lifestyles is a huge bonus. “It’s just that I just have someone to come back to and someone who supports you,” Cody notes. “I’m very busy now working on my album and that’s kind of been … I’m out most of the day doing that,” he shares. Cody expresses: “And so it’s nice to be able to come home to somebody who gets it and understands you.” “I try to do the same for her and give her stuff,” he adds. “We always have as friends and now it’s just a little different.” “I wrote her a song this week that she’s pretty much forcing me to put out,” Cody reveals. “She’s like, ‘If you don’t put this shit out, I’m putting it out on your behalf for you. I’m getting your Spotify login and doing this s–t myself,’” he says. “And I was just like, ‘Alright, alright I’ll do it.’ So I recorded it this week, I’m gonna put it up next week,” Cody announces. “It’s something I wrote for her while she was sick this week,” he says, referring to Miley’s tonsilitis and hospitalization. She’s doing much better now, of course, now that she’s home with the man she calls her “boo thang.” View Slideshow: Miley Cyrus Risks Catastrophic Nip-Slip on Saturday Night Live

Leah Messer to Young Moms: THIS Is How You Deal With Baby Daddy Drama!

If there's anyone who understands the complications that can arise from raising children with someone you're no longer in a relationship with, it's Leah Messer. Leah has three kids and two baby daddies. That's not a terribly uncommon set of circumstances, particularly in the context of the Teen Mom franchise. But unlike some of her co-stars, Leah has been to hell and back with her exes, yet has always managed to make amicable co-parenting her top priority. So perhaps there's no better candidate to offer advice to the stars of the latest Teen Mom spinoff, Young and Pregnant . In a video posted to MTV's YouTube page this week, Leah offers some words of wisdom to the network's newest stars. “When dealing with baby daddies,” she tells the camera, “communication is key.” “Both parents deserve to be in the child’s life,” Leah adds. “That is the most important of all,” she concludes. Sound advice, to be sure. Of course, given the show's difficulty with building an audience, the cast might prefer that Messer offer advice about how to attract viewers. But that's a conversation for another time. If you're a longtime Teen Mom 2 viewer, then you know that Leah has endured a whole lot of ups and downs in her love life over the years. These days, Messer is hooking up with Jeremy Calvert , the father of her youngest daughter. But it looks as though the former couple has stopped just short of a formal reconciliation. Leah and Jeremy slept together while in New York for this year's reunion show, and insiders say Messer would love to give their romance another chance. Unfortunately for her, it seems Jeremy is more hesitant. Leah tells friends she's keeping all of this from her kids so as not to create confusion. But on last week's TM2, Messer's daughters stole her phone and found out all about Jeremy. Maybe someone should make a video for Leah with advice on how to lock your phone!
