I know Britney Spears has been looking real good lately , and I’m seriously impressed by how she managed to rebound and stage a major hotness comeback. But she’s also getting up there (I just checked and she turned 36 last month), so I’m not sure how much longer this will last. And I’m guessing Britney isn’t either, which is why she’s been hitting us with all this hotness lately. So just enjoy, while she keeps her 15 minutes going, 30-45 seconds at a time.
Last week, Jana Duggar celebrated her birthday . Along with her twin brother, John David, Jana turned 28–not a milestone age, but a very big deal to Duggar fans, nonetheless. Unfortunately for Jana, her birthday is a subject of fascination for reasons that aren’t entirely celebratory, Jana is still single , which is a fact that seems to astonish many fans of her famous family. John David is unattached as well, but as a man, his love life–or lack thereof–is not as heavily scrutinized. Women in the Duggar family are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being. Several of Jana’s younger sisters have already married and started families of their own, which is one of the reasons that fans are baffled by the fact that Jana remains childless. It’s an unexpected situation, to be sure, and while there are many rumored reasons circulating around social media, it seems Jim Bob is just as baffled as anyone else when it comes to why Jana is still single. Over the weekend, Jim Bob appeared at an event organized by the Institute for Basic Life Principles in Kilsyth South Baptist Church in Kilsyth South, Victoria. Amateur video from the event shows the Duggar patriarch uncomfortably joking about Jana’s refusal to marry. “And Jana is–actually, back in the U.S., it’s her birthday,” Jim Bob says in video of the speech. “Jana is 28-years-old and still single, so she’s still praying about the one.” On Reddit, most Duggar fans were quick to defend Jim Bob’s sense of humor. “I wasn’t there but I assumed it was just a dad joke. He makes a lot of them especially on the old episodes of the original show,” commented one user. “Women have a biological clock. Men generally don’t. It’s more notable for a woman to be single and childless after a certain age. This is not unique to the Duggars,” wrote another. At least one fan, however, was quick to point out the insensitivity of Jim Bob’s remarks: “What I do wonder is–what’s Jim Bob’s angle with that joke? Is it just a standard-issue dorky dad joke that he’s too oblivious to realize could be seen as hurtful?” the Redditor wrote. “Does he know it’s a sensitive subject, so he’s trying to diffuse it with humor? Is ol’ JB a little salty that lovely, talented Jana isn’t playing along with the real Duggar family business: marrying off its children for profit?” We may never know just what’s going on in Jim Bob’s head–and that’s probably a good thing.

Leah Messer’s love life has long been a subject of fascination amongst Teen Mom 2 fans. Every male that makes an appearance on her social media pages is viewed as a potential suitor, and every time Leah denies a rumor, it’s taken as a sign that she’s on the verge of getting hitched. So when Leah’s co-star, Kailyn Lowry, shared an article with the headline “Leah Messer Celebrates an Exciting Engagement!” fans quite understandably jumped to conclusions. Instantly, Leah’s social media pages exploded with congratulatory messages from TM2 viewers. And naturally, there were also quite a few questions about the identity of Leah’s fiancé, as it was widely believed that she was single. There had been rumors about Leah dating Brian Gravely , but the mother of three insisted he was just a friend. Fans have long been convinced that Leah and Jeremy Calvert are secretly back together , but Messer swears that’s not the case either. So why is Kailyn reporting engagement news when Leah appears to be single? Well, it turns out the engagement Leah is celebrating is not her own. Leah’s younger brother, Isaac Messer, got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Emily Burt during a family dinner on December 18. Bold move proposing in front of the entire fam, but it seems like it worked out in Isaac’s case. No word on why Leah waited almost a month before sharing the news with fans, but she made the big reveal over the weekend with a pic from the occasion. “My hair was a little bit of a mess after the twins birthday party, but I’m so happy for my brother and his NOW fiancée!! CONGRATS guys,” Leah captioned the above photo. As for those reports that she’s back with Calvert, Leah addressed them in a tweet to a fan who really wants to see that reunion happen. “We’re terrible for each other…but great friends,” she tweeted. We’d like to offer our sincere congratulations to Leah’s brother and his new fiancee. And also to Leah for being self-aware enough to know when someone is no good for her. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the many ups and downs of Leah’s frequently-messy love life. View Slideshow: Leah Messer & Jeremy Calvert: Back Together For Real?!
Farrah Abraham has never been one to hold back, but she may have just taken her unfiltered relationship with her fans to a new level. As you’re probably aware, Farrah doesn’t keep many secrets with regard to her sex life. We’ve seen Farrah’s sex tape ; we’ve read her erotic novels (okay, no we haven’t, but surely someone has), and we’ve looked on in confusion as she hawked plastic molds of her various orifices. In a way, we suppose it’s a natural career progression. After all, Farrah became famous as a result of getting pregnant at a young age, so perhaps in her mind, it stands to reason that she should continue to share the details of her sexual activity with the general public. Sure, the other stars of the Teen Mom franchise don’t seem compelled to masturbate on live streams , but Farrah’s not like the other girls. In fact, Farrah’s really not like anyone , a fact that she reminded us of again this weekend, when she casually informed fans that her regular schedule of non-stop social media posting would be interrupted so that she could go terminate a pregnancy. “Oh my gosh! I had a pregnancy scare,” Farrah exclaimed in a cat-filtered Snapchat video. “Girls watch your expiration date — and that is on your birth control!” Sound advice. If the video ended there, it might be the least-WTF thing Farrah has ever posted to social media. But end there it did not … “Um, I’m gonna have to tell you a little bit later because I gotta go take care of it,” Farrah concluded . Yes, as far as we can tell, Farrah took to Snapchat so that she could inform fans of her difficult decision … while sporting a cat nose and ears. Like we said, the woman has literally never had a thought that she didn’t post online, which we suppose is part of her … well, “charm” is a strong word, but whatever you’d call that unique quality Farrah possesses, it certainly prevents us from looking away. As for the rumors that Farrah was fired from Teen Mom OG over those racy live streams, well, we think she confirmed on Twitter that she’s not returning to the show, but it’s Ms. Abraham’s unique way with words makes it hard to tell exactly what she’s trying to say. “Watching @TeenMom @mtv I’m so happy I don’t welcome anymore of @MTV made up shit to help mention the other trash moms feel important lmao good luck @MTV #2018goals #Sorrynotsorry,” Farrah wrote. Shout-out to Farrah for refusing to be limited by society’s notions of how words should work. And for tagging MTV twice in the same tweet.

Jill Duggar just can’t seem to catch a break these days. As if it’s not bad enough that her husband, Derick Dillard, has been fired by TLC after bullying a transgender teen on Twitter, now it looks like Jill might soon be jobless as well. Yes, Derick says his wife will be joining him in stepping away from the spotlight, and while that might mean things are soon to get a little leaner around the Dillard household, there may be some benefits to the new arrangement. For instance, perhaps Jill’s parenting won’t be subject to quite as much scrutiny now that her family is no longer on TV. Ha! Just kidding! As long as she continues posting on Instagram, new Jill Duggar parenting controversy will continue to pop up at the rate of about one per week. The latest might not be as scandalous as the time Jill put a tortilla on her son’s head , but it’s still got Duggar obsessives all worked up. A photo from Thanksgiving has once again caught the attention of the internet’s finest mommy-shamers, and again, they’re filled with seething rage. Yes, for reasons that aren’t entirely clear, the issue of Jill putting her kid on the floor is once again being raised. Some fans seem to not realize the pic is several months old. Others are just leaping at the chance to once again look down their nose at Jill. In both cases, the argument remains pretty much the same: Jill is terrible for leaving her kid on the floor while the rest of the family eats dinner. It’s a bit of reach, considering we know nothing about the context of the pic, but that hasn’t stopped fans from really going off on the mother of two. “Jill enjoys procreating, but once the baby is born, she’s not interested in the least in the actual parenting,” one person wrote on Facebook over the weekend. “How about a carrier or swing — something besides the dirty floor? I would have never done that to either of my children.” Is the floor actually dirty? Who knows. Does it matter? Obviously not. Look, we’re not ones to jump to the Duggars’ defense, but it does seem like Jill’s not really getting a fair shake here. And it’s important to save your outrage, because we’re really due for a legitimate Duggar scandal any day now. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Were the family even bothering about the continued drama with Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna? That was a hot topic on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 14 Episode 13 as they opened up about their thoughts on the troublesome couple. Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian discussed the whole Rob and Chyna legal drama. Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 14 Episode 14 Online Khloe said that the positive to the drama was that “there’s no way Rob and Chyna could get back together,” but “the negative is all of this other [expletive] right now.” Kim was critical of Rob for posting the nudes of Blac Chyna online. “The negative is that as Rob having sisters, he should just know better,” she said. “He should have just like controlled himself.” “Rob and Chyna have officially broken up, but they obviously still have to communicate for the custody of Dream,” Khloe began in a confessional. “They’re still having a hard time getting along. The legal battle that has been going on between the two of them has been super frustrating.” “I feel like this is escalating to a place that none of us could have ever imagined.” Khloe then told Kim, “He’s made out to be this bad guy when she’s taunting him… You don’t [expletive] with someone’s heart and emotions.” Khloe and Kourtney then got Rob on the phone to get an update on what was happening with Chyna with regards to the custody situation with Dream. He did admit that he could take Dream to their houses for a visit, but that was about it. “I know this is super hard for Rob because he was so in love with [Chyna] and this is not how he thought the relationship was going to end,” said Khloe in a confessional. Well, Rob did leak the nudes, so maybe he should have thought about that before worrying about a custody battle. Khloe knew the situation was getting to her mother, so she chatted with her about it. “There’s just a lot going on with Rob and the whole custody thing,” said the family matriarch. “It’s just wild. It’s stressful because I’m trying to help him navigate this.” “You can’t let it consume you. You’ve got to just smile and enjoy life,” Khloe said to her mother. Kris decided it was time to leave the conversation because it was all getting too much. To cheer Kris up, Khloe thought pranking her would be the best foot forward. Khloe hired a mime, and he showed up at the house to handcuff himself to her. “I know Khloe’s wants me to lighten up, and I get what she’s trying to do, but I don’t think she understands how packed my day is,” Kris said to the camera. The mime annoyed Kris because he was doing silly stuff while he was out with. Kris decided it was time to part ways with the mime and her assistant cut her free. “By the end of the day, I got to say it was really fun. I’ve never laughed so hard in my life,” Kris admitted. In the end, Kris managed to return the favor by showing at Khloe’s house dressed as a mime. “Mom, this is really your look! I think you should do this all the time,” Khloe said to her mother before turning to a konfessional to reveal her thoughts on her mother’s new look. “I am so happy to see my mom as this light, fun Kris Jenner. This is the Kris Jenner that I know, so the next time things get crazy, pull out that face paint and your mime costume. You’re good to go.” Meanwhile, Kourtney revealed that she was traveling to Egypt with Younes Bendjima, but she felt guilty about leaving her kids behind. “I’m proud that you’re doing something for yourself,” said Khloe who wanted her sister to have fun. “There was a time when I wouldn’t even sleep out for one night,” Kourtney responded before saying that she wanted to keep her relationship separate from her kids. What did you think of all the drama? Keeping Up with Kardashians continues tonight! View Slideshow: 13 Craziest Reality TV Moments EVER
As more women courageously come forward and share their #MeToo stories, some once-beloved men have been unmasked as sex monsters. And then there’s Steven Seagal, whom no one has ever liked. Seagal’s been accused by Portia de Rossi and others of gross sexual harassment and misconduct. Now he is accused of rape. Recently, we have heard some deeply alarming stories about Steven Seagal . Lisa Guerrero spoke of her harrowing encounter with Seagal back in the ’90s. She describes having been invited to his house, but she insisted that the casting director accompany her. As uncomfortable as she felt while he appeared to wear only a robe while sitting, as if on a throne, in his living room, she can’t help but wonder how much worse the experience might have been had it only been the two of them. And then Portia de Rossi shared her horrible experience with him, also at his home, where a professional meeting went from bad to worse when Seagal allegedly “unzipped” in front of her. Dutch model Faviola Dadis revealed that she was lured under the guise of an audition to a hotel room, where Seagal allegedly began folding her breasts and crotch and where she describes his security team as having blocked her until she began making noise in an effort to get help. Horrifying. Among the several woman to accuse Steven Seagal of being a sex monster is 43-year-old model, Regina Simons. But she’s not talking about a narrow escape or being groped. She accuses Steven Seagal of rape . Regina worked as an extra on the 1994 film, On Deadly Ground . At the time, she was only 18 years old, and was a shy girl from a conservative Mormon background. The experience with Steven Seagal that she bravely describes to The Wrap is one that no one should ever have had to endure. She says that she was invited to the “wrap party” at Steven Seagal’s house, weeks after she filmed her scene. When she arrived, she was the only guest. “I asked him where is everyone and he said that they had already left.” And that, she describes, is when things went from weird to awful. “He took me into this room and then just closed the door and started kissing me.” Despicable. “He then took my clothes off and before I knew it he was on top of me, raping me…” That is as bad as it gets. “I wasn’t sexually active yet.” In case anyone is ignorant enough to ask why she didn’t try to fight off the man three times her size, she describes her experience in chilling detail. “People always talk about fight-or-flight. But no one talks about the freeze.” Freezing up is a normal preservation instinct! No sudden movements to flee or to fight can often reduce your chances of getting murdered. “The only way I’m able to describe it is I literally felt like I left my body.” That is classic dissociation. Do you ever just “go somewhere else” to avoid laughing or crying in socially inappropriate situations? Well, trauma survivors frequently dissociate during and then, later, after traumatic events. It’s a coping mechanism. “I think because of the situation I was completely caught off guard. Tears were coming down my face and I know that it hurt. He was three times my size.” “I was crying when he was on top of me.” It’s taken her a long time to come forward. “Even now, my 43-year-old mind knows how to process this and understand what a loving relationship is and what consensual sex is. And there was none of that.” She’s now a mother. Thinking back, though, she recalls making a beeline for the door as soon as she perceived that it was safe for her to go. “All I remember is him asking me if I needed any money.” Sickening. “I shook my head and ran towards my car. I cried the whole way home.” She’s reported this to the LAPD, and she’s not the only one. We won’t hold our breath for anyone to actually be held accountable, though.

Lindsay Lohan may not have a successful movie career at the moment. Or television career. Or singing career. Or modeling career. Heck, you may not have even seen the words “Lindsay Lohan” and “career” or “success” in the same sentence since approximately 2009. But the former actress and constant lightening rod for trouble sat down with Wendy Williams on Friday and said she’s actually very busy. With what , you may be wondering? Well…. “I’m discussing designing my own island in Dubai at the World Islands,” Lohan said with a straight face, adding that it will be called “Lohan Island” and then joking: “I’m out Trump-ing Trump with the name Lohan.” Oh, God. Is Lindsay Lohan going to run for President in 2020? She is, isn’t she? And she’s going to win, isn’t she? Elsewhere in interview, the woman who thinks we’re too mean to Donald Trum p opened up about her family, her relationship status and her life in Dubai. Oh, and about that Mean Girls sequel chatter? Here’s a rundown of other topics the island architect touched on with Williams: Why did she get into so much trouble back in the day? I think everybody has their own path in life. We all go through ups and downs in life. Being in public, a lot of pressure was on a lot. I didn’t know how to have a private life because I was too young, running around too much and surrounding myself with people I probably shouldn’t have been around, there for the lifestyle. I wouldn’t blame anyone for anything in my life. Does she blame her parents for any of her issues? In life, parents have their things together and sometimes the children are immersed in it and you really have to step back and let your parents do what they do and figure everything out for themselves. We all have a great relationship now, so it’s nice,” she added, “it’s much simpler that way. Is she a lesbian? No, I like men. Is she dating right now? I don’t have a man. I don’t want to date anyone right now. I’m in work mode, I like it. I have great girlfriends, people around me, my family. Relationships, I’ve had enough of them. I don’t think, especially in LA you’re always around other actors, and I like being OK with me. When it happens, it’ll happen. Aside from being “stalker-ish” when it comes to making a new Mean Girls, what else is she doing? I really threw myself into working with a lot of children and refugees overseas. I’m going back to Turkey to see them soon. I feel like there’s a lot of love I have to give to children that don’t have anyone and that have lost their parents and don’t have a lot of love and hope in their life. What’s the biggest misconception about her? It is frustrating to me when people always say those partying days and stuff. I was never really a partier. Just because I was seen out at clubs, made some mistakes, they didn’t take the best shots of me. I don’t like to bring up and rehash the past. How does she feel about the future? Whenever people bring up past things I experiences and gone through, like jail, working at the morgue, which is actually really traumatizing stuff. But then it distracts from actually, maybe meeting with people to do Batgirl, doing a Mean Girls 2,’it really distracts people and they only think about the negative. It sounds like Lohan has a solid head on her shoulders these days. That may very well change by the time you read this. But we really do wish the best to Lohan. She’s been through enough. We’re sick of writing about her troubles and we hope they’re behind her. We’d also totally vacation on Lohan Island, wouldn’t you?
