Lauren Bushnell and Ben Higgins are still together … for now. As with any couple in Bachelor Nation, there have been conflicting reports about the state of their relationship for quite some time. Some fans even thought they were finished with one another. Now, Bushnell has taken to Instagram to wish Ben a happy birthday in a somewhat revealing post. “Happy birthday babe!!!!!” she captioned the below picture. “I’m so thankful for this life together. Although sometimes rocky you always hold my hand and support me through it, always with a smile on your face. You deserve the world, especially today.
Beyonce is making pregnancy look easy these days. Last week, the beloved superstar shared a few new photos of her baby bump , posing in style and looking as beautiful as ever. She also shared some pictures of her and daughter Blue Ivy having fun on Snapchat. But while all may look pleasant and easy for Beyonce at the moment, a source tells E! News that her fans should not be deceived. The singer is struggling a bit. An insider tells this typically reliable outlet that Beyonce is having a “harder time this pregnancy” when it comes to “keeping up her energy,” a tidbit that really ought to come as no surprise. The artist is having twins, after all. That means she has, like, twice as many babies in her womb as she had the last time she was expecting. Still, this doesn’t mean Beyonce is having any second thoughts or regrets. She understands her situation. And she’s grateful for it. “She loves being pregnant,” the same insider adds. Beyonce and Jay Z announced this blessed development on February 1. They did so in their usual fashion, controlling their own narrative and revealing just enough about the babies on their way, while still keeping certain pieces of information (such as gender and due date) a mystery. “We would like to share our love and happiness,” the beloved couple wrote on Instagram, along with an artistic image of Beyonce pregnant . The musicians concluded their simple statement as follows: “We have been blessed two times over. We are incredibly grateful that our family will be growing by two, and we thank you for your well wishes. – The Carters.” Since this time, neither Bey nor Jay has really spoken out on the pregnancy. But Beyonce did perform at the Grammys and the stars did sit front row last month at the NBA All-Star Game. They haven’t exactly gone into hiding. Delving further into Beyonce’s life at the moment, E! News writes that the star has maintained her typically health-conscious diet, yet she’s less strict with it now than when two people are not growing inside of her. “She splurges when she wants to and hasn’t taken her weight gain as a negative thing,” the website writes, adding: “She is a confident women in her skin whatever size she is [and] embraces it.” You better believe that Beyonce won’t be documenting her urgent need to shed the baby weight after she gives birth in the near future, unlike certain other celebrities who may or may not remain nameless. ( Kim Kardashian .) In closing, this revealing updates makes two notes that may be of interest to anyone in the Beyhive or anyone who likes to circle around the Beyhive: View Slideshow: Beyonce: Nude, Pregnant and Gorgeous in New Photo Shoot ONE: Beyonce and Jay Z do, indeed, knows the genders of their upcoming children. But they are keeping that information to themselves. TWO: Forget what you heard in the past about any kind of marital strife. No divorce is imminent. Everything is all good. “The love [between Jay Z and Beyoncé] is authentic and real,” the source shares, adding of Beyonce’s rapping other half: “Jay is a good dad and husband. He’d do anything for Bey.”
Jenelle Evans is without question one of the more outspoken stars of MTV’s Teen Mom franchise. By which, of course, we mean she bites the hand that feeds her on a regular basis and seems hell-bent on getting fired and alienating as many fans as possible in the process. Like so many of her co-stars, Jenelle has accused MTV editors of creating false narratives and going out of their way to portray her in a negative light. Usually, these allegations elicit face-palms aplenty from Teen Mom 2 fans, most of whom have watched Jenelle earn her place as the show’s resident loose cannon though nearly a decade of erratic behavior. Many have implored Jenelle to STFU for the sake of her family, as the show is her sole means of support, And with her reputation and rap sheet, it seems unlikely that Evans would be able to find employment that would allow her to comfortably provide for herself and her three kids. In short, viewers believe Jenelle’s finger-pointing at MTV is just a lot of #FakeNews melodrama. Now, however, Jenelle has leveled an accusation that many fans seem to believe is not only legit, but necessary. Earlier this week, a fan of the show criticized Jenelle, and suggested that her divisive mother, Barabara Evans (who currently has custody of Jenelle’s eldest son, Jace ), should have custody of all three of Jenelle’s kids. Surprisingly, the official Teen Mom 2 Twitter account actually engaged the fan in a discussion on the subject, asking: “Do you think Jenelle is ready to have custody of Jace?” Jenelle witnessed the exchange and responded immediately: “Why would u respond to someone being so negative towards me?!! You already knew their answer, my god,” Evans tweeted, adding: “The drama never ends with MTV.” The argument seemed to back up a claim that Jenelle has been making for years: She believes that MTV wants Barbara to retain custody of Jace, as the arrangement generates conflict between mother and daughter, and thus, ratings for the long-running reality series. The custody battle between Jenelle and Barbara has been a central storyline for several seasons, and its not hard to see why Jenelle would believe that the show’s producers are hoping to keep it going. Jenelle isn’t the most stable mom on the planet, and most of her paranoid conspiracy theories are likely nothing more than that. But even a broken clock is right twice a day, and in her accusations of collusion between Barbara and MTV, Jenelle might be onto something. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the long-running conflict between the women of the Evans clan. View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know!

Shade or nah??? Kristi Yamaguchi Tells Nancy Kerrigan To “Break A Leg” Kristi Yamaguchi is getting the BUSINESS on Twitter over a tweet she sent to a fellow figure skater. Nancy Kerrigan, who was famously clubbed in the knee by someone allegedly working for skating rival Tonya Harding in ’94, is currently one of the contestants on season 24 of “Dancing With The Stars.” And today, ’92 Olympic champion Kristi Yamaguchi decided to send her some good luck in a HORRENDOUSLY worded tweet. “Break a leg,” wrote Yamaguchi on Twitter to her fellow figure skater. UHHHHHH…..DELETE THIS KRISTI. Some folks think it was some not so thinly veiled shade to Nancy, @kristiyamaguchi @NancyAKerrigan that wording though… pic.twitter.com/XisJ9CNqXc — Erick Fernandez (@ErickFernandez) March 22, 2017 . @kristiyamaguchi @NancyAKerrigan pic.twitter.com/B3GZ9dWakH — Micah Singleton (@MicahSingleton) March 22, 2017 but Nancy herself took it all in good stride.

Earlier this week, we reported that Javi Marroquin is dating Madison Channing Walls , also a reality star from an MTV series. The news drew a decidedly mixed reaction from fans, given Javi’s recent divorce from Kailyn Lowry and Walls’ checkered past. She starred on a show called Real World: Skeletons for a reason. The 27-yaer-old has openly admitted to struggling with heroin addiction, though she now says she’s been sober for more two years. Apparently there are some in Javi’s inner-circle who don’t believe Walls is not an ideal mother figure for Marroquin’s son, Lincoln. Not surprisingly, one of those skeptics is none other than Lincoln’s mother, the pregnant Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry. Sources tell Radar Online that Kailyn found out about her ex-husband’s new romance the same way the rest of the world did. Lowry reportedly felt “blindsided” when Javi and Madison announced their relationship on social media via the above and below images. “Kail doesn’t know anything about a new girlfriend,” an insider told the celebrity gossip site on the day of the bog announcement. Of course, that may not be entirely Javi’s fault. Javi is forbidden to contact Kailyn due to a protection from abuse order Lowry sought and obtained from a judge in February. Kailyn says it’s because Javi entered her home without permission, a recent event that was chronicled on their MTV show. Marroquin, who says he never has or would lay a hand on Lowry (nor has she alleged as much), tells a different story, though. “She said it’s because I harassed her via text about all this divorce and guy stuff,” Marroquin told Radar at the time of the filing. Javi explains that the order sounds worse than it is: “I signed a consent PFA, which means there’s no evidence of abuse. I just can’t contact her unless it’s in regards to Lincoln for a year.” We suppose finding out from Twitter that your ex is dating someone new is one of the downsides of obtaining a protective order. Anyway, now that she’s been informed of the relationship, the mother of two (soon to be three) is reportedly less than pleased. Apparently it’s not only Madison’s past substance abuse issues, which she’s been very open about, that have Kailyn upset. Madison has experienced at least one recent brush with the law, having been arrested for shoplifting from a CVS in 2013. Walls claims that the theft in question was one of many mistakes she made as a result of her lengthy and serious battle with addiction. She insists that she’s completely turned her life around since welcoming a daughter, Harper, with Real World co-star Tony Raines. Sources close to Kailyn say that’s another issue. She’s not happy that Javi may soon have another child in his life, as she feels it may draw his attention away from their son Lincoln. Of course, Kailyn is pregnant with her third child at the moment, having said she didn’t want any more kids – to Javi – just last year. So she can’t really say much on that score. View Slideshow: Madison Channing Walls: Who is Javi Marroquin’s New Squeeze? The recent break-in pretty much summed up the state of Javi and Kailyn’s relationship these days, as emotions are running high. “You have to understand how crazy you’ve made me for six months,” Javi says, as if that justifies being a home-invading psycho. Kailyn told him not to call her a ho and defended her own actions, denying that she “slept with all these dudes” as he worded it. They came together on the reunion after this incident and seemed to make at least some progress toward amicable co-existence. With the news that he’s dating someone, however, old wounds are likely to be reopened and their issues exacerbated once again. Here’s hoping cooler heads eventually prevail.

Charlie Sheen has gone from threatening the life of Donald Trump to threatening to expose other celebrities who have been diagnosed with HIV. Sort of. But the actor spoke on Wednesday morning with The Kyle and Jackie O Show and was asked the following question: “Do you think there are more people in Hollywood that have HIV that wouldn’t dare come out and say it like you did?” To which Sheen replied: “There are, and I know who they are, but I will take that to my grave.” So, no, Sheen did not actually threaten to out these stars. But it did make a statement that has stirred quite a bit of chatter around the Internet; how can one not wonder just to whom Sheen is referring?!? In November of 2015, following several weeks of rumors and innuendo, Sheen appeared on The Today Show and announced that he was HIV positive . He said he was forced to come clean after those aware of his condition said they would go public unless he paid them a lot of money for their silence. “I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me, threatening the health of so many others, which couldn’t be further from the truth,” he told Matt Lauer at the time. Sheen explained that he thought he had a brain tumor upon first seeing a doctor for various symptoms. But was then hit with the news that he has the disease that is a precursor for AIDS. “After a battery of tests and spinal taps, all that crap, they walked in the room and said, ‘Boom. Here’s what’s going on,'” Sheen explained on air. “It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life.” Has Sheen really turned around his life? Maybe, to some extent. He seems to party far less than he used to and he’s apparently turned over the concept of “winning” to Donald Trump. But that doesn’t mean he’s moved on from slamming his enemies and/or saying whatever is on his mind. View Slideshow: 18 Celebrities with HIV In this latest interview, for example, the topic turned at one point to Jenny McCarthy. A former guest star on Two and a Half Men, who portrayed Sheen’s love interest for a number of episodes, McCarthy made some pretty dumb comments soon after Sheen told the world about his HIV status. McCarthy wondered on her Sirius radio show why she was required to be open with certain health issues, yet Sheen did not have to reveal at the time of their filming that he was HIV positive. “If I have to be upfront about a herpe, how could you not be upfront about HIV?” she asked, concluding: “Playing his love interest on the show … ugh … that’s not fair and scary.” Considering McCarthy didn’t actually have sexual intercourse with Sheen on the sitcom, we’re not sure why acting opposite him (or even kissing him) should have been scary. Sheen wonders the same thing. Moreover, Sheen told the hosts this morning that he simply didn’t have the disease back then. But he said it a bit differently. “Bitch, your math sucks,” Sheen said to/about McCarthy. “I didn’t have it then!’” But you have it now, Charlie. Our attention, that is. Welcome back.
