Zack Carpinello: Can I Still Use Jenni Farley to Help My Wrestling Career?

When the world first learned that Jenni Farley was dating Zack Carpinello , the reaction among Jersey Shore fans was one of pure joy. After all that she’d been through in the past year, it seemed that JWoww had finally found happiness in a stable relationship. Sadly, things quickly took a turn for the worse, as it soon turned out that Carpinello — “24,” as he’s known to some — is a massive douche. It’s hard to know where to begin, as Zack was an absolute jackass from the second he first appeared on screen. He was smug; he was controlling; he talked down to Jenni — the whole was just painful to watch, particularly since Farley was fresh from an abusive marriage . JWoww didn’t seem particularly put off by 24’s behavior, but the heady rush of a new romance can often cloud anyone’s judgment. Fortunately, her eyes were opened last week when an episode of Shore aired in which Carpinello could be seen groping Angelina Pivarnick while a heavily intoxicated Jenni slept just inches away. Shortly after the episode, word got out that Jenni had dumped Carpinello. Pivarnick was the first to respond with a weird, lingerie-themed message in which she sort of apologized to Jenni and sort of chastised Carpinello. Now, 24 himself is breaking his social media silence with a weird, inspirational weight-lifting video: Zack Carpinello Lifts Weights “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will. -Mahatma Gandhi.” he captioned the above clip. That same day, Zack quote-tweeted Ice T, who wrote: “Never let someone else’s Negativity ruin your day. You can’t get your DAYS back. They’re toooo valuable.” It may seem strange that Zack is the one offering up quotes about enduring hardship here — and it definitely is. As far as we can tell, this is part of Carpinello’s effort to launch his professional wrestling career, which — in retrospect — probably motivated his decision to date Jenni in the first place. Shortly after the episode aired, Farley made it clear that she and Carpinello were through: “After seeing tonight’s episode I’m pretty hurt,” she wrote in an Instagram note. “I feel disrespected by someone I called a friend and by someone who stated they loved me,” Jenni added. “For 5 months I was kept in the dark about this,” she continued. “For 5 months I was naive, probably laughed at and made into a storyline 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.” To be fair, the weight-lifting vid wasn’t Zack’s first post-breakup social media activity. But his previous posts were obviously written by publicists: ”I made mistakes that I cannot take back, which I take full responsibility for,” he wrote. “Jenni does not deserve any damage from anybody else. This is on me. I sincerely apologize to Jenni. I apologize to Angelina as well,” Zack added. “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.” Whatever you say, 24. View Slideshow: Jenni Farley Boyfriend: Identity… REVEALED!

Cory Wharton and Taylor Selfridge: Expecting First Child Together!

KA… BOOM! Cory Wharton just dropped a rather huge bombshell on the Teen Mom OG universe, confirming to Us Weekly that he and girlfriend Taylor Selfridge are expecting their very first child together. “It was definitely a surprise,” Wharton tells the aforementioned tabloid of the news, which he says the couple found out about two months ago. Selfridge is 11 weeks along and will be welcoming her very first child overall. Wharton, meanwhile, shares two-year-old daughter Ryder with ex-girlfriend Cheyenne Floyd … which is how he got famous in the first place. When Floyd joined Teen Mom OG last season, a significant portion of her opening season storyline centered on her on-again/off-again relationship with Wharton. (Who, for the record, didn’t know Ryder was his daughter until she was 6 months old, meaning this pregnancy with Selfridge is actually the first one he’ll get to experience as an expecting father.) Added Wharton while speaking to Us Weekly : “Just being there from the day she found out that she’s pregnant and knowing that it was mine, I knew that I was going to have to step up. “It’s exciting for me. It’s gonna be a lot, but I’m excited. I never went to an ultrasound, you know? I never went to the doctor’s appointments to see her check-ups and things like that. “So for me, this is like my first baby almost, as weird as that sounds.” Floyd has not yet commented on this development. Throughout last season of Teen Mom OG, she made it sound like she was anxious to commit long-term to Wharton, but he never gave her the same indication. She’s since brushed off Wharton’s relationship with Selfridge , which was made public back in February. Cory and Taylor say they do plan to find out the gender of the baby when the time comes, but for now, he’s hoping for a second daughter. “I just originally thought it was a boy, but now I don’t know,” Selfridge told Us Weekly. ”Everybody’s saying girl, so now I just feel like it’s a girl!” Floyd, for her part, has been very supportive of the father of her child and Selfridge, despite issues she initially had with the couple when it came to being around Ryder. “I went over to Cheyenne’s house and I was dropping Ryder off and I just said, ‘Hey, so Ryder’s going to be a sister!’ There’s no easy way to tell somebody that,” Wharton said of breaking the news to the Teen Mom OG star. Selfridge added she feared Floyd would “freak out” about the new, but Wharton said he’s gotten nothing but love from her family. “They really were supportive from day one,” he states. Cory and Taylor met during season 1 of MTV’s Ex on the Beach in 2014 and started dating after the show. They broke up a short while later and then were sort of back and forth for about two years, including the period when Wharton was trying to figure out his future with Floyd. In the beginning, Taylor and Cheyenne didn’t get along very well, as you might imagine… … But now it seems like everyone is on the same page. “It took time and effort from both sides to put our differences aside and to know we share a common goal,” Floyd told In Touch exclusively in August about her bond with Taylor, concluding: “I love Ryder and want her to always be surrounded by good loving people.” View Slideshow: Cory Wharton Unveils New Girlfriend, Gets Slammed by Teen Mom Fans

Farrah Abraham Shares More Details on Prostitution: Sophia Knows?!

Farrah Abraham is … well, she's just a lot. And sure, they may not be very descriptive, but you know exactly what we mean. It's been two years since she left Teen Mom OG, and since then, things have definitely taken a turn, which is impressive since it's not like she was the most stable human when she was still on the show. But now that she no longer has the steady MTV gig, she's doing all sorts of wild and crazy stuff for money. Like this new thing where she's pretty much just asking dudes to pay her $5,000 for an evening with her … 1. Such a History There have been rumors about Farrah being an escort for a good long while now — years, really. 2. A Stroll Down Memory Lane We’re not sure exactly when and how they started, but it probably had something to do with the career move she made in releasing a sex tape. After that, she started doing all sorts of things in the adult entertainment industry — she did some work as a stripper, released sex toys, etc. 3. Cam Girl For the past few years, she’s done less of that sort of stuff and focused her efforts more on being a cam girl — it’s even part of the reason why she left Teen Mom OG. 4. Makes Sense So really, going from all that to being an escort is a pretty natural progression, right? 5. Hmm … Think about it — she travels constantly, she flies first class and stays in expensive resorts all around the world, but how? She doesn’t have MTV money coming in anymore, all her businesses have failed, and she owes a few people money for a few different lawsuits. How can she afford all that she does? 6. Well … Prostitution, that’s how. That’s the theory, anyway. View Slideshow

Jon Gosselin: I’m Trying to Protect My Kids From Their Mother!

Even though Kate Gosselin keeps exploiting her remaining kids for cash , it doesn’t sound like Jon is interested in the reality business. For the moment, he is focused on making sure that Hannah and Collin have a stable home and continue to excel at school. He wants what’s best for them, and that means having normal teenage experiences instead of serving as cash cows for either parent. An inside source has opened up to HollywoodLife about Jon Gosselin and his plans for Hannah and Collin. Unlike his tyrannical ex-wife, he actually gives them choices in life, but he does have an idea for their high school experiences. “Jon only wants what’s best for kids,” the insider affirms. “And,” the source continues, he is “working so hard to protect his kids.” Being on camera as babies is generally harmless. Spending a decade and a half as reality stars is not. And neither is growing up with Kate for a mother. Instead of micromanaging Hannah and Collin’s activities, interests, and thoughts, he just takes an interest in them. “Jon keeps up on everything going on in all his children’s lives,” the insider states. The source adds that, at least, he does “the very best he can.” Not all of his children are so easy for him to talk to. The insider acknowledges: “but he mainly focuses on the two he has at home.” The source explains that, quite simply, this is “because he knows what’s going on with them.” Like the other four sextuplets, Collin and Hannah are 15 years old. But the other four are still living with Kate, so there’s more than just teenage moodiness that stops them from telling him about their days. Jon knows that his relationship with some of his kids remains strained, but he makes sure that Hannah and Collin keep in touch with their siblings. “Hannah and Colin are both doing amazing because of Jon,” the insider reveals. “They’re both really good students,” the source emphasizes. “And they’re doing well,” the insider adds. “Despite everything going on with their mother.” Kate continues her reality career, using Kate Plus 8 (which should really be Kate Plus 4 at this point) to continue to talk over her subjects, er, children. She is also embroiled in a scandal as she allegedly went forward with filming even after the Department of Labor denied her filming permits. A judge’s opinion was that filming was not in the best interests of her minor children, but allegedly she and TLC figured that they’d just film anyway and pay a fine. On a more positive note, Jon and his girlfriend Colleen Conrad have created a lovely and shockingly normal home. “He’s built a great life for them,” the source expresses. “And they love to go to the beach, the city,” the insider shares. “And love traveling together.” The source observes: “He really lets them have a normal childhood.” At least, as normal as it can be when you’re from a famous reality family, you just escaped from your mother, and one of you was locked in an institution without a satisfactory explanation. Jon may be continuing to bond with Hannah and Collin, but he’s not playing favorites. They’re simply the kids who have managed to break free from Kate’s alleged emotional abuse and chosen to live with him. “Jon would love a relationship with all of his children,” the insider affirms. “But,” the source admits. “Kate makes it challenging.” Take away two of somebody’s beloved geese that lay golden eggs, and she’s not going to make it easier for you to come fo the rest of the flock.

This Is Us Recap: Time Jump, Jump, Jump Around

Just when you think you know everything about absolutely everyone on This Is Us, it turns out… … you do not. This simple, yet surprising, message was at the heart This Is Us Season 4 Episode 4, an installment titled “Flip a Coin” that taught viewers about  Kevin and The Manny , Randall and Beth in college during a parental visit, baby Jack and music and a whole lot more. Let’s start with KATE , shall we? In the past, fans saw a teenage version of this character still struggling with a purpose after her brothers went off and she remained home. When she finally turned off Buffy the Vampire Slayer (good taste in TV shows!), Kate ventured to the record store and bought some new CDs — and also got a job! In the present, tensions between Kate and Toby continued to fester, which had been a theme of the previous  two episodes . They took young Jack to a music class, which didn’t turn out well because he kept getting scared by the instruments and singing. After going back and forth each other, the couple took their son to the beach. While he was frightened by the class, viewers do  at least know he goes on to have quite a bit of success in music — and, as Kate noted, music is something he can do even without his sight. What about RANDALL and BETH ? The first question:  Do these two owe everything to Rebecca? In the past, she visited Randall at college and got the sense that he longed for Beth… which, granted, was rather obvious. She proceded to take matters into her own hands by getting up and asking if they could join Beth and her mother for lunch. Such aggression paid off, notably, when Randall gave Beth a slice of lemon without her even asking. On their one and only date (at the time), Beth ordered a Coke with lemon. At lunch at school, she didn’t have a lemon for her drink. Rebecca ended up bonding with Beth’s mom over their shared widow status, as Carol inspired Rebecca to start getting her life back in order following Jack’s death. Time jump back to the present — and Carol visited for Beth’s dance studio opening. Once there, Carol said she didn’t like Randall for Beth at first… but only because she didn’t really see the strength he needed to be a proper partner for her daughter. Randall and Beth also met Malik and discovered he has a daughter. Watch This Is Us Season 4 Episode 4 Online We’ll end with KEVIN . Alternating between the present — where Kevin found out The Manny was canceled 00 and the pilot shoot for this same, This Is Us revealed quite a bit about the character. Almost more than we had ever learned before. In the present, Kevin attempted to distract Cassidy and Nicky when their planned Alcoholics Anonymous meeting was incorrectly scheduled. How so? By talking about shopping for a new RV. While out and about, Kevin and Cassidy discussed her possible divorce, his experience with The Manny and Nicky revealed the origins of his trailer. Prior to the war, you see, there was Sally, someone Jack asked out on a shy Nicky’s behalf. They planned to trek across this great nation after he returned from war — but eventually he simply stopped writing to her. After all that transpired in Vietnam, Nicky said he was “pretty broken.” Therefore, one day he figured he would just go for it, using his savings on the trailer and heading to Sally’s house unannounced. She wasn’t home, though. So, he drove off and, well that was it. He said he realized it wasn’t meant to be. In a parallel moment, past Kevin revealed his doubts about The Manny pilot to Kate and said he really wished it didn’t make it to series so he could go off, stop acting and just have a family somewhere. That was all he truly wanted. However, he then had a moment at the conclusion of the pilot filming where he connected with his baby costar and the “stupid character” on a show with a “stupid premise” wasn’t a joke anymore. He made a baby laugh and it changed his life. After relaying that story to Cassidy, Kevin did indeed buy an RV…for himself. And he moved in next to Nicky.

It’s Over, Boo: Gina Rodriguez Dropped The N-Bomb On IG And The DRAGGING Is Epic

Source: VALERIE MACON / Getty Gina Rodriguez Drops N-Bomb The internet has been fed up with Gina Rodriguez for a while now. First, back in 2017 she asked about Latino inclusion when the…Black Panther…movie was announced. Then in a 2018 press run she tried to interrupt Yara Shahidi when she was asked about being a role model for black women. Then some months later she claimed that Latinas were paid less than anyone else in Hollywood. Not true. Then she went on Sway In The Morning and cried over the backlash : “So to get anti-black is saying that I’m anti-family. My father is dark-skinned, he’s Afro-Latino … If anything, the black community is my community. As Latinos, we have black Latinos. That is what we are. I am not, so I think that when I speak about Latino advocacy people believe I only mean people of my skin color.” “If I have hurt you, I am sorry and I will always be sorry, but you have to know that, until you know my heart, there’s no way that we can live off clickbait, you guys,” Rodriguez continued. “You are allowed to feel pain and I empathize with your pain, and I’m sorry if I caused your pain because it is the last thing I want to do … We don’t need to fight each other and if I caused that notion, please forgive me because that is not my intent at all.” Now, it looks like she may be at the point of no return as she was on IG rapping along with Lauryn Hill and dropped a whole a$$ N-word.

Here’s What We Learned From Cyntoia Brown-Long’s First Post Prison Interview

Source: Wang Lunyi / EyeEm / Getty Cyntoia Brown-Long is finally living her life as a free woman after spending 15 years behind bars for the murder of 43-year old, Nashville real estate agent, Johnny Allen , who reportedly sex-trafficked the then 16-year old. Brown’s story got international media attention after stars like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna took to social media to support her release. View this post on Instagram did we somehow change the definition of #JUSTICE along the way?? cause….. Something is horribly wrong when the system enables these rapists and the victim is thrown away for life! To each of you responsible for this child's sentence I hope to God you don't have children, because this could be your daughter being punished for punishing already! #FREECYNTOIABROWN #HowManyMore A post shared by badgalriri (@badgalriri) on Nov 21, 2017 at 5:12am PST   The system has failed. It’s heart breaking to see a young girl sex trafficked then when she has the courage to fight back is jailed for life! We have to do better & do what’s right. I’ve called my attorneys yesterday to see what can be done to fix this. #FreeCyntoiaBrown pic.twitter.com/73y26mLp7u — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) November 21, 2017 On Tuesday, Brown did her first ever television interview since being released from prison, and was super candid about her time as a teenage inmate for killing the man who allegedly “bought her for sex.” Cyntoia talked with NBC’s Lester Holt about being granted clemency, living life as a convicted murderer & much more. She takes full responsibility for the murder of Johnny Allen: “He is a victim, you know? He was, he was, his family’s a victim. You know, his friends, the people that knew him, the people that loved him. Like, they had someone snatched away from them. And I did that.” She wants people to see a different side of her: “I want them to see that I’m so much more than the worst thing that I’ve done. You know, I’m so much more than that moment.” She’s changed: “I know there are people looking at me saying ‘okay, well what’s this girl gonna do? And is she really changed? So I feel like it’s an honor to actually be a picture of what rehabilitation looks like. Of what it looks like when we give people a second chance.”
