The Men of Teen Mom, Ranked by Terribleness!

So how great are all those guys on Teen Mom, huh?! Such remarkable specimens of manhood, every one of them, filled to the brim with integrity, compassion, and grace. … Wait, like 85% of them are completely terrible human beings ? Well, huh. Sure, some of them baby daddies are awful, but some of the aren't! Some of them are kind of OK, and a few are even great ! Check out our ranking of all the Teen Mom fellas, from best to worst. And prepare to be amazed, as always, at the level of awfulness on this show. 1. Cole DeBoer Cole DeBoer is Chelsea Houska’s husband, and thank goodness for that. He’s stepdad to little Aubree, he and Chelsea are currently expecting their first child together, and ever since he first came on the show, he’s been perfect. He’s an easy number one, y’all. 2. Javi Marroquin Javi Marroquin was married to Kailyn Lowry, and they share one son together, Lincoln. Javi was also a killer stepdad to Kailyn’s first son, Isaac. He’s known to throw a little shade from time to time, but for the most part, he’s been respectful to Kailyn and a great father to both boys. 3. Jeremy Calvert Jeremy Calvert was married to Leah Messer, and they share one daughter, Adalynn. He was with Leah when she went to rehab — AKA at the start of her downward spiral into awfulness — and he was just a pretty steady, great dude through it all. 4. Corey Simms Corey Simms was also married to Leah Messer, and they had twins Aliannah and Aleeah. They got divorced when Leah couldn’t stay faithful to him (and also because they had twins and got married when they were teenagers), but Corey’s been a good father, and a good coparent with Leah. He’s just a good ol’ boy, y’all. 5. Tyler Baltierra Tyler Baltierra has been with Catelynn Lowell since they were 12 years old (yes, literally), and when she got pregnant at 16, they placed their daughter up for adoption. They’ve since gotten married and had another daughter, Novalee. Tyler would be higher on this list, but thanks to some recent body-shaming and generally insensitive remarks to Catelynn, he got knocked down a few notches. 6. Taylor McKinney Taylor McKinney is Maci Bookout’s husband, and they share two children together, Jayde and Maverick. Sure, Taylor drinks Bud Light like it’s water and he’s in a desert, but he’s a good father, especially to Maci’s older son, Bentley. View Slideshow

Bethenny Frankel FIRED From SiriusXM Radio Show

Bethenny Frankel has never been someone to keep quiet if someone is annoying her.  That’s probably why she clashes with practically every single cast member on The Real Housewives of New York City .  Frankel is not afraid to argue with someone when the opportunity arises and that’s what ultimately cost her an important job. The reality TV star was partying in the Hamptons at a VIP Coldplay event when she took it upon herself to get heavily intoxicated.  The event was attended by the likes of Jay Z and Beyonce, but Frankel was allegedly acting like she was the most important person there.  Sounds just like her. Right?! Bethenny apparently went crazy after asking two women to move and subsequently hurled her drink at them.  That’s not a nice way to act, and SiriusXM made it clear they would not stand for that type of behavior. “They were prepared to give Bethenny her own show, but they ripped up the contract after that night. Bethenny started poking and pushing them. Then, when they didn’t move, she went to the bar and got a mixed drink and threw it over them.” One of the woman decided that Bethenny had crossed the line and went to SiriusXM executives, who pulled the plug on any employment opportunities for her.  Having her own show would have been a great little career boost, but it seems she’s well and truly burnt that job offer.  Bethenny is apparently becoming increasingly difficult to work with on The Real Housewives of New York City, but would the producers really say goodbye to her? She brings a lot of drama their way, so probably not.  Just this season, she lifted the lid about what LuAnn de Lesseps’ partner, Tom D’Agostino was getting up to with the other women on the cast.  It made for some awkward scenes, but it was vintage television. LuAnn de Lesseps Confronts Fiancè for Cheating! Even though it was revealed that Tom was a love rat, LuAnn is still with him and even plan on getting married.  Yikes. How long will this relationship last? What do you think about all of this? Should she be fired from The Real Housewives of New York City? Hit the comments.  View Slideshow: The 9 Richest Real Housewives in Bravo History

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: Having Unprotected Sex!

According to a new report, Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are having sex these days without the use of a condom or any sort of birth control. That’s right, folks: The singers are trying to have a baby! Together! There has been marriage talk all around Shelton and Stefani for months now, of course. Neither side has ever confirmed there’s been a proposal or discussion of tying the knot themselves. But that hasn’t stopped one tabloid after another from claiming a wedding is about to take place; or, in some cases, that a wedding has already taken place. We’re serious: Now, Life & Style isn’t even bothering with any false rumors about an impending Shelton-Stefani baby. Instead, the latest issue is claims that the artist are going straight to Bone Town, with a goal of producing a child from Gwen’s womb. “They’re actively trying to start a family,” an insider tells the magazine. “They’ve never been happier or more in love.” The latter certainly appears to be the case. With Stefani turning 47 years old this week and also revealing that she was working on a new animated Nickelodeon show titled “Kuu Kuu Haraiuku,” Shelton sent the following Tweet yesterday: “Happy Birthday @gwenstefani and congrats on the debut of @KuuKuuHaraiuku!!!!”  Shockingly, there was no talk of him having recently pounded Stefani raw in an attempt to put a new life inside of her. If not for Brad Pitt’s twisted double life, perhaps Blake ad Gwe (top right, above) would have earned cover story status. Stefani is the other of three kids with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, Kingston, 10, Zuma, 8, and Apollo, 2. They all want their mother to marry Shelton apparently, and she wants to have another child with Blake because she’s been so impressed with the way he’s acted around her kids. “She loves that he’s such a family man,” the insider says of the country star, who has been married twice, but doesn’t have any children of his own. “Seeing Blake with her kids just makes Gwen fall in love with him even more.” Both Stefani and Shelton split from their spouses in the summer of 2015. Shelton filed for divorce from Miranda Lambert after about four years and Stefani from Rossdale after about 13 years. They started officially dating just a few short months later, yet there was never any real talk of either side having cheated on Lambert or Rossdale. Shelton and Stefani have remained one of Hollywood’s more stable and cute couples ever since they got together, somehow staying in the spotlight and yet avoiding any messy breakup talk. Does this mean they really are getting married in the near future? Does this mean kids are on the way? View Slideshow: Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: 11 Most Adorable PDA Moments No, of course not. We’re not making any bold declarations of that manner. We’re just saying that Blake and Gwen seem very much in love and we wish the tabloids would just let them be adorable and content. Can we not bog them down with baby talk please?

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar Attend Marriage Counseling Retreat

Throughout the many, many scandals that have plagued the Duggar family over the past 18 months, the marriage between Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar has remained intact. But even the strongest marriage would be put to the test by the series of public controversies that somehow haven’t kept the Duggars off TV. So it’s not all that surprising that Jim Bob and Michelle attended a marriage counseling retreat last week. What is surprising is that they were paid speakers instead of guests! Yes, the couple – whose best marriage advice seems to be something along the lines of, “No front-hugging without a ring on it!” – was invited to address a crowd about “the Godly principals for keeping a vibrant, Christ-like marriage.” No word on how much JB and Michelle got paid, but with a title like that, but attendees say they were charged an astonishing $275 per ticket. For that price, we assume Michelle strapped on a guitar while Jim Bob Jaggered his way around the stage belting out a flawless rendition of “Satisfaction.” Sadly, there’s no word on what JB and Michelle talked about, but we assume they repeatedly reminded their fans that Ashley Madison is owned by the devil . It’s interesting that they decided to accept the engagement, as their speech came just a few weeks after they posted a message on their website “Unfortunately, due to the number of invitations and our schedule we cannot entertain invitations to personal events such as birthday parties and weddings,” the Duggars wrote in late August. “We wish we could go to everything!”   “If you have expressed interest in our family speaking at a public event we will respond as soon as possible.”  Maybe this gig was booked in well in advance. Or maybe this is the Duggars’ way of coping with the fallout of reports that they’re trying to have Josh appear on Counting On . The mere mention of using their reality series to try and rebuild Josh’s reputation was enough to spur reports that TLC would be giving the Duggars the ax . Perhaps the timing is coincidental, but we wouldn’t be surprised if this were step one of a reputation-rebuilding campaign. View Slideshow: Duggar Family Marriage Tips: Yes, These Are Real Quotes After all, Jim Bob is a master of marketing and self-promotion. She’s like Kris Jenner, if her favorite book were the Bible instead of the novelization of Kim Kardashian’s sex tape .

Duggar Family: Axed By TLC Because of Josh Scandals?

It’s been more than 19 months since the allegations that Josh Duggar molested five young girls  first went public. At first, Duggar fans expected the family to deny the reports. Instead, it emerged that parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar helped hide Josh’s crimes from the authorities. Throughout 2015, things continued to deteriorate for the Duggars. Several more scandals were unearthed, most (though not all of them) involving Josh. In October of last year, it was revealed that Josh had two paid accounts with Ashley Madison , a service that helps facilitate affairs between married people.  Shortly thereafter, a sex worker named Danica Dillon came forward with allegations that Josh had paid her for sex and treated her so roughly during the encounter that she suffered from PTSD. It looked to all the world as though the wholesome Duggar brand had been damaged beyond repair. Remarkably, however, the family was able to finagle its way back onto television with the TLC reality series Counting On , now in its second season. At first, the network was understandably tentative about taking another chance on the Duggars. The show started as a limited-run miniseries before being picked up for a full season. Crucial to its early success was the fact the belief amongst viewers that Counting On would never feature Josh, Jim Bob, or Michelle Duggar. That’s already proven to be partially untrue, as Jim Bob and Michelle have made several controversial cameos during the show’s second season. Now there are reports that Josh may be returning to Counting On to tell his side of the story and try to win sympathy from viewers. According to several media outlets, the mere mention of Josh appearing on the show has been enough for TLC execs to make it clear they will cancel Counting On , if the Duggars persist in their belief that it would be a good idea to bring Josh on camera. The network was already reportedly considered canceling the show due to less-than-stellar ratings and severed relationships with advertisers who are angry that their commercials appeared during such a controversial series. Now, the Duggars have reportedly been warned that production will be shut down if they attempt to shoot a Josh cameo. Looks like fans of the family won’t have to worry about being reminded of the family’s scandalous side during Counting On . View Slideshow: Josh Duggar Sex Scandal Timeline: How His Family’s Empire Crumbled But with the way the Duggars are trying their bosses’ patience, viewers might have to worry about the show not coming back for a third season at all. Watch Counting On online at TV Fanatic to get caught up on what could be the show’s final season.

Duggar Kids: QUITTING Reality TV?!

Considering how horrific the Josh Duggar sex scandals were, it’s pretty surprising that it was so easy for the Duggar kids to land their own 19 Kids and Counting spin-off. Sure they had to promise that Josh Duggar would never appear on their new series, but they were never forced to issue a public apology, and yet many of their fans proved surprisingly quick to forgive and forget. But the family was never able to re-capture the semi-mainstream appeal that it enjoyed with 19 Kids , and Counting On continues to struggle in the ratings. Even worse (at least for the network execs who will soon decide if the show deserved to be brought back for a third season) the Duggars are scaring off advertisers left and right. In fact, several major corporations have not only pulled their spots from Counting On, but announced that they will no longer advertise on TLC at all . In short, the future’s not looking bright for a show that probably never should’ve existed at all. Perhaps that’s why the Duggar kids are rumored to be seeking out a graceful way to make an exit from the series that was supposed to rebuild their reputations. At least that’s our best guess at why (according to Life & Style ) the kids would be interested in abandoning the only source of income most of them have ever known: Thus far, that cover is all we have to go on. The tabloid is (perhaps wisely) saving the good stuff for its print edition But short of TLC offering the Duggars the chance to make it looks as though they’re walking away of their own accord, why would the kids (several of whom now have kids to raise) choose to part ways with the network that made them famous? Well, there is one other explanation we can think of: It’s possible that yet another scandal has befallen the family, but given how poorly they’ve covered up their recent indiscretions, and how brazenly they’ve attempted to resurrect their careers, we doubt there’s any controversy that could send this family running from the airwaves. Sure they managed to conceal Josh’s sex crimes for over a decade, and it’s unlikely they would’ve been able to sweep it under the rug if they were under the type of public scrutiny they receive these days. View Slideshow: The 11 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals of 2015 No, if this rumor is a true (a big if, to be sure), our best guess is that the Duggars bailed before they were given the forcible heave-ho. Just don’t be surprised if TLC forgets about all of this and gives them another show in two months. They seem to have pretty short memories over there.

Duggar Kids: QUITTING Reality TV?!

Duggar Family: HOW MANY Babies Are on the Way?!

Last month, the Duggar faithful rejoiced following the announcement that Jessa Duggar is pregnant with her second child . After all, procreation is what made this family famous, so a year without a Duggar pregnancy is like a Patriots game in which Tom Brady fails to throw for a touchdown. (Unfortunately for Pats fans, there’s bound to be a few of those this year.) Anyway, the news that Jessa would be the next Duggar daughter to deliver a bundle of joy was met with an avalanche of heartfelt congrats, but also a fair amount of speculation. When you examine the evidence, it’s not surprising that many fans believed further Duggar pregnancy announcements were on the way. After all, just last year, there was talk of Jill and Jessa getting pregnant at the same time .  And this wasn’t mere tabloid gossip, mind you. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Photos: Welcome #BabySeewald! The sisters stated on multiple occasions that they’d like to get knocked up at the same time. Add to that the rumors that Jinger Duggar is pregnant (hence, her accelerated courtship with Jeremy Vuolo), and you can see why some Duggar aficionados believed that Jessa’s announcement would be the first of many. In fact, the interest in the Duggar ladies’ uteruses has expanded to the point that in-laws are now being pulled into the fray. Yes, rumors that Anna Duggar is pregnant by her disgraced husband, Josh Duggar, have ramped up in recent weeks, with many fans and supposed insiders insisting that an announcement is forthcoming. So what’s going on here? Could there actually four Duggar babies on the way? View Slideshow: Jill Duggar Baby Photos Well, according to those who know best, the Internet has once again proved to be fertile ground for unfounded BS. Michelle and Jim Bob generally make a point of not addressing online rumors, but in a recent blog post, the founders of the famous fam indirectly shot down reports that there are multiple Duggars currently in gestation: “We are so thankful for our wonderful 32 years of marriage, 19 children, plus our daughter and sons in laws, and going on 7 grandkids.” Not a direct denial, but probably as close to one as we’ll get. Of course, there remains the possibility that Jim Bob and Michelle are either unaware of one of their daughters’ pregnancies or that they’re being evasive in order to avoid a scandal. Until recently, Jill Duggar was living in a Zika hot zone with her husband and son, and the news that she got pregnant in Central America (or shortly after returning home) would be sure to result in backlash from fans. View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Bump Pics: 1 & Counting! And anyone who’s familiar with the family’s strict rules of courtship  knows that the revelation that Jinger engaged in premarital sex would be a major blow to the family’s reputation as devout evangelicals. So despite frequent reports to the contrary, for now it looks as though only one additional Duggar child is soon to enter the world. But knowing this family, the wait for another won’t be a long one. Right now, the smart money is on Jinger being the next to get knocked up. Of course, you can be certain that that announcement won’t come until after her wedding and chaste, televised first kiss. Watch Counting On online at TV Fanatic to embark on your very own bump hunt!

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar: Breaking Up Over Josh!?

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are on the verge of a breakup again, according to a new tabloid report, and you know who is at the crux of it all. In a way, it’s a rehash of a rumor that’s been circulating for months: Despite the fact that his sex scandals have largely blown over, Jim Bob and Michelle are fighting over Josh and heading for divorce. Ironically, Anna Duggar and Josh are on good terms after all this. Anyway, one of the pariah’s parents allegedly does not want anything to do with their first-born, while the other wants him back in the fold. Can you guess which Duggar parent is which? In Touch magazine’s latest cover story features a smiling Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and the “fight that split the family apart,” supposedly. The gossip publication claims that the pair has been at odds, and that while Jim Bob is ready to forgive his son, his wife isn’t so sure. Apparently, the tension has grown so thick that either Jim Bob or Michelle will be moving out of their Arkansas home in the near future. Who will stay and who will leave the compound?! There are only two real possibilities here as we see it: Either the cover above is entirely inaccurate, or Jim Bob and Michelle are doing one heck of a fine job masking whatever tension exists. Just three days ago, he looked lovingly at Michelle in a birthday video message for son Josiah on the family’s official Facebook account. In the clip, Jim Bob extolled the virtues of his 20-year-old son and his “loving spirit towards people” while Michelle glowed by his side. Like we said, they’d have to be really good actors. Jim Bob also gushed over Michelle in a recent anniversary tribute in which he also appeared to shade Josh, casting doubt on this story. For all the recurring talk of the Duggars divorcing , that would come as nothing short of a monumental shock at this stage of the game. Why? Consider the past, present and future … Whatever you think of them personally, the family’s comeback from Josh’s sordid scandals in 2015 has been nothing short of extraordinary. TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting pretty fast, but after a few months, Jill & Jessa: Counting On was reborn (then renamed Counting On ). View Slideshow: 23 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals: How Low Can They Go?! If you watch Counting On online , the recent pivot toward Jill, Jessa and now Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo has been very effective. The Duggars are back, and better than ever; Jim Bob and Michelle may be more in the background these days, but they’re not invisible. Nor are they stupid. On the contrary. You might think of their values and lifestyle as incredibly backward, and there’s an argument to be made for that. But they’re not unintelligent. They know what a valuable thing they have going lately and how the money train is back on the tracks following its interim derailment. No way they’re going to risk that. View Slideshow: 13 Reasons Why Anna Duggar Should Leave Josh NOW Besides, have you ever heard of Duggars getting divorced? Do you know what a Covenant Marriage is and what that entails specifically? Exactly. Not gonna be happening. We have little doubt that there are differing opinions about Josh, both in terms of what he did and how do deal with him going forward. They wouldn’t be good parents – or human beings – if they didn’t struggle internally with an issue that’s as complicated as they come. It’s a big leap to go from that to divorce, though, especially given that this is JIM BOB AND MICHELLE DUGGAR we’re talking about. View Slideshow: 13 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family Josh may be the third trail that no one in the family wants to touch, but he’s still family, and we expect things to be more or less status quo. In other words: Keeping the cheater off TLC cameras as long as possible, but slowly reintroducing him into family life on social media here and there. And keeping a close eye on Josh’s flip phone records. You never know what trouble that dude can get into, even on an archaic device.

Jill Duggar: Criticized for Seeking Mother-in-Law’s Birth Mom on Twitter!

Jill Duggar is catching heat again. This time, it’s got nothing to do with her trying to get pregnant while in El Salvador as the Zika virus runs rampant there. Instead, she’s coming under fire for seeking out the birth mom of her husband Derick Dillard’s mother, Cathy, who was adopted. Jill even sent out a plea to fans on Twitter, asking for help from anyone who might know of the woman’s whereabouts. “Please help us find @cldilla birth mom. Anyone know Joyce Perry (DOB 12/9/1925)? Previously in TX, OK & PA. Israel would love 2 meet ggma!” she tweeted. It may be worth noting that Jill and Derick’s son Israel is one, and likely doesn’t even understand what a great grandmother is. In addition to the tweet, the couple also posted a notice on the Duggar Family Blog, announcing their search for Joyce Perry. Fans, of course, deemed this public hunt inappropriate. View Slideshow: The 11 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals of 2015 “Does CATHY want to know more about Cathy’s birth family?” wrote one reader. “If so, why not before now? Why now? I hope Jill & Derick aren’t turning up stones they should be leaving alone. This kind of venture can be full of pitfalls for everyone involved.” Another fan chimed in: “Okay…..this is strange. Maybe Cathy’s birth mother didn’t want to be known.” Adding to the strangeness of it all is that Cathy had already tracked down her biological mother years ago, and noted the woman wanted nothing to do with her. She made the admission after implying that her mom would’ve had an abortion if it had been legal. “If abortion had been legal when I was born, I wouldn’t be here! Neither would Derick, Dan or Baby Dilly!” she tweeted, which prompted a fan to ask her to clarify. “My birth mother whom I located when I was 27,” Cathy added. “She had put me up for adoption at birth and still didn’t want to meet me even then.” It’s unclear the real reason that’s motivating Jill to find this woman, but we do know she and Derick have considered adopting a child of their own .
