Jenelle Evans: A Brief History of Violence and Nonsense

If there's one thing we know about Jenelle Evans of Teen Mom 2 fame, it's that she never backs down from a confrontation. Sometimes this means a war of words, other times actual violence against those who cross the Carolina Hurricane's path. Below, we've taken a trip down memory lane and relived some of her most turbulent, and violent, moments over the years. Boyfriends, husbands, girlfriends, random people talking s–t … her own mom … no one is safe when it comes to Jenelle. No one. 1. Jenelle Beats the Ever-Loving Crap Out of Britany Truett Savage. Evans was caught on video absolutely annihilating Britany Truett in Oak Branch, N.C., in 2011. She was later arrested after the video surfaced and charged with assault. Deservedly so, given the extent of this beat down. Truett says Jenelle came at her in a fit of jealousy after Evans’ sometime boyfriend Kieffer Delp was flirting with Truett; Delp was arrested the same day as the fight for cocaine possession. 2. Jenelle’s Classic Fight with Tori Rhyne Jenelle Evans has managed to keep one friend for the majority of her time on Teen Mom 2: a girl named Tori Rhyne. But that relationship soon soured, and things were not always great between them even in the best of times. Witness the INSANE, hair-pulling melee that occurred in this infamous scene during which Jenelle was moving out of the residence they shared … Kieffah and Tori’s BF also got in on the action. 3. Jenelle’s Classic Fight with Barbara: I SEE YOU WIFF KIEFFAH! Jenelle Evans and her mother, Barbara, got into a shocking, iconic fight in the first season of Teen Mom 2. This is that fight. Any fan of the show has likely repeated Babs’ quotes from this scene in the years since: I SEE YOU WIFF KIEFFAH! I hope you have fun livin’ in the streets with ya booooooooyfriend! 4. Jenelle Wishes Death Upon an American Soldier Jenelle Evans got into a pretty heated argument during a trip with Nathan Griffith three years ago – a trip meant to celebrate their engagement, believe it or not – and appears to wish death on a U.S. soldier in the process of yelling at him. As the person filming this says, that is some f–ked up s–t right there. 5. Jenelle Evans-David Eason Wedding Fight Long-rumored but never before heard, it’s Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans & David Eason’s explosive pre-wedding fight!!! Crank up the volume and hear them yell at each other like mortal enemies the night before they tied the knot; Jenelle called off the wedding, briefly, but they did go through with it. Dave sounds pretty livid with her at one point. 6. Jenelle vs. Kieffah The mercurial Jenelle Evans and her useless ex-boyfriend Kieffer Delp in more memorable scenes together from Teen Mom 2, 2010-2013. She sure has been with a cast of unsavory characters over the years, but Kieffah may be the most memorable. Not in a good way, just the most memorable. View Slideshow

Ariana Grande: THIS is How I Feel About Pete Davidson Now …

On Monday, Pete Davidson spoke out about bullying that he has received from people encouraging him to take his own life. It was strongly implied that at least some of these vicious trolls were misguided fans of Ariana Grande, his very recent ex. Ariana herself is speaking out in Pete’s defense. After Pete shared his heartfelt post, Ariana shared an image of it along with a message of her own in her Instagram Stories. “I know u already know this,” Ari tells her fans and followers. “But I feel I need to remind my fans to please be gentler with others.” That is a very delicate way of asking people to not be monstrous cyberbullies. “I really don’t endorse anything but forgiveness and positivity,” Ariana affirms. She then reminds everyone: “I care deeply about Pete and his health.” “I’m asking you to please be gentler with others,” Ariana emphasizes. She then says that she wants people to do so “even on the internet.” “I’ve learned through my own mistakes,” Ariana shares. “Not to be reactive on socials.” Sometimes, when you feel passionately about something, you speak out on social media. It can make you look like an ass. When you’re Ariana, however, your words can be incredibly powerful. An impulsive tweet could ruin someone’s day or their life. “So,” Ariana admits. “I do understand.” Ariana reminds her fans to have empathy and compassion for others. “You truly don’t know what anybody is experiencing ever,” Ari notes. And she follows that by speaking, very generally, about how people so often hide their pain. “Regardless of what they choose to display on social media or how they may appear in public,” she writes. In other words, just because Pete smiles and jokes on Saturday Night Live doesn’t mean squat. “I can promise u that,” Ari affirms. “So please,” she implores her followers. “Let whatever point you’re trying to make go.” We cannot emphasize enough how diplomatically Ariana is phrasing her message. This is smart — it’s a plea to her fans, rather than an attack which might only make people defensive. “I will always have irrevocable love for him,” Ariana writes. “And if you’ve gotten any other impression from my recent work,” she says. “You might have missed the point.” Her record-smashing song, “Thank U, Next,” was not a diss track — it’s a very positive breakup anthem. In his original post, Pete Davidson shared that the bullying that he received began before Ariana ended their engagement. “I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for 9 months,” he wrote. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly,” he says. Pete has been very forthright about his struggles with mental illness and addiction, using his platform to help others. Pete writes that he has done so “only in hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth.” Anyone imploring someone who struggles with suicidal ideation should also remember that they could be held liable for someone’s death. Remember that girl who texted encouragement to her boyfriend before he ended his life? Yeah. But, more importantly, bullying someone is monstrous. Whether you’re doing it because you don’t think they’re right for your favorite singer or because you think they were a bad fiance, just … be gentle. In general, just try being nice almost all of the time. View Slideshow: Ariana Grande DESTROYS Haters Over Disgusting Mac Miller Comments!

Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas: Married!!!

Remember earlier this year when we found out that Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra were dating and everybody was like “huh, weird”? And then remember when they got engaged like two months later and everybody was like “…. ‘K”? They just seem like a very strange match, that’s all. Priyanka is just so amazing — she’s talented and intelligent and gorgeous and she does so much charity work. She’s so great. And Nick is cool too , and maybe we’re wrong for not letting him move past his Disney boy band beginnings, but … come on, he’s a Jonas brother. But hey, just for now, let’s put aside any odd feelings we have about this relationship, all right? Because Priyanka and Nick just got married ! The wedding took place today in India, at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur. Unfortunately we don’t have any photos of her dress yet, but we do know that the bride and groom, as well as the entire wedding party, wore designs by Ralph Lauren. Nick’s father officiated the wedding — it was a Christian ceremony, and tomorrow they’ll have a Hindu one. Ahead of the wedding, they had a mehendi ceremony, a tradition for Indian weddings in which the bride gets henna designs placed on her hands and feet. Nick and Priyanka actually explained this in statements on their Instagram accounts today. “One of the most special things that our relationship has given us is a merging of families who love and respect each other’s faiths and cultures,” they wrote. “And so planning our wedding with an amalgamation of both was so so amazing.” They explained that “An important part for the girl in an Indian wedding is the Mehendi.” “Once again we made it our own and it was an afternoon that kicked off the celebrations in the way we both dreamed.” The celebrations included a sangeet — another Indian wedding tradition that’s essentially a huge party with lots of food, music, and dancing. Reports say that during this event, Priyanka danced for Nick, and he sang for her. There were also fireworks, because why wouldn’t there be? Their wedding took place nearly four months exactly after their engagement, which happened just a couple of months after they began dating. But they say that when you know, you know, and when Nick shut down an entire jewelry store in London so he could choose an engagement ring , there’s a pretty good possibility he knew. As he explained in an interview in September, everything “was kind of immediate, and I think we just knew it was right and jumped right in.” And thanks to another interview from earlier this year, we have a good idea what’s going to come next for these two! “I definitely want to have kids,” Priyanka declared back in June, shortly after she began dating Nick. “It’s going to happen in the next 10 years. Well, hopefully earlier than that.” View Slideshow: 24 Celebrity Weddings That No One Saw Coming If they keep moving so fast, we can’t help but imagine that baby news can’t be too far off! Congratulations, Nick and Priyanka!

Ariana Grande Obliterates Spotify Records with "Thank U, Next"

Just weeks after ending her engagement to Pete Davidson, Ariana Grande dropped a new single , “Thank U, Next.” The powerful anthem, a tribute to her exes, is smashing music records. Its lyrics have also inspired November’s hottest meme. Billboard Woman of the Year Ariana Grande keeps setting new records only to surpass them. In recent days, she’s been doing it with the same song, as she shared on Instagram. “Thank u, next has surpassed 100 MILLION streams on spotify in only 11 days,” reads a graphic shared on social media. The graphic puts that in perspective: “it is the fastest song in HISTORY to reach this milestone.” Ariana shared the image with a very grateful black heart emoji in the captions. Keep in mind that that’s only her Spotify success. It doesn’t include people listening on YouTube — or pirating it. Her record-smashing feat doesn’t include people using other streaming services. It also doesn’t include those of us who eschew streaming music and instead immediately purchased it from iTunes or Amazon. Part of the appeal is that it’s a beautiful song. The song’s real meaning also contributed to its success. “Thank U, Next” is an anthem to Ariana’s exes — to three, in particular. Ariana had an 8-month relationship with Big Sean from 2014 to 2015. “Thought I’d end up with Sean / But he wasn’t a match,” Ariana sings. Starting in the summer of 2015, Ariana dated backup dancer Ricky Alvarez for about a year. “Wrote some songs about Ricky / Now I listen and laugh,” Ariana sings. Famously, Ariana got engaged to Saturday Night Live comedian Pete Davidson, and broke things off in October. “Even almost got married / And for Pete, I’m so thankful,” Ariana’s lyrics affirm. On a sadder note, she dated Mac Miller for two years starting in 2016. He died just a few months ago. “Wish I could say, ‘Thank you’ to Malcolm / ‘Cause he was an angel,” Ariana sings bittersweetly. “Thank U, Next” appeals to people as a song and as an athem. Some can relate in their own lives — they really appreciate their past loves and past relationships. Others are just Ariana Grande fans and love to hear how at peace she is with her romantic past. But it’s more than just a song, folks. It’s a meme. For ages now, social media has been filled with “one taught me love, one taught me patience, one taught me pain” posts. These posts, quoting lyrics from Ariana’s song, can do everything from critique three films or three characters or three condiments. Of course, Ariana’s release of this song such a short time after ending her relationship with Pete Davidson has fueled conspiracy theorists. There are people in the world who believes that all celebrity activities, from relationships to their art to overdoses and deaths, are a scripted facade. These are the same people who use words like “illuminati” and “Deep State” with total sincerity.  So they think that for some unknowable reason, Ariana and Pete were “ordered” by, like, Beyonce or George Soros to get engaged, then split. According to this admittedly hilarious theory, Ariana had this song prepared and mixed for whenever they were ordered to break up. Why? Maybe, like, mind-control embedded in the song. It did release right before election day! Ariana being a talented and passionate musician with the resources to pull together a song quickly is apparently too simple of an explanation. There is a glaring omission from Ariana’s song — her ex Graham Phillips. They performed together on Broadway along with current Dynasty star Elizabeth Gillies. You might know Graham from The Good Wife or from his more recent appearance on Riverdale as a seriously awful dude. Our guess is that the fact that they dated in 2011, when Ariana was mostly just known as a Nickelodeon star, is a factor. Also, she probably just views Graham as a friend whom she once dated. There’s a difference between that and an “ex.” In case you were wondering if there was bad blood, we looked into it and found no evidence of hard feelings. In fact, they staged a mini-reunion this past summer with another former castmate.  Ariana was probably right to narrow her scope of exes to a handful.

Meghan Markle: Driving Royal Staffers to Quit with Her Diva Demands?

While rumors say that Kate Middleton resents Meghan Markle stealing her spotlight , it turns out that Meghan has gotten on the last nerve of others in the Palace. Meghan and Harry lost three of their employees in a very short time. A report says that Meghan may be causing this “stampede” with her insistence on following her own path instead of royal protocol. According to a report by the Sunday Express , Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s household has lost yet another staffer. Samantha Cohen was the couple’s private secretary. She has now departed from the post. She was preceded in that job by Edward Lane Fox, who also left that position by his own choice. And on Saturday, someone walked out who worked even more closely with Meghan. Meghan Markle’s personal assistant was known only by “Melissa.” Melissa has spent the past six months at Kensington Palace with Meghan. Among her duties was having a very direct role in key elements of preparing for the Royal Wedding in May of this year.  Well, Melissa has now reportedly resigned. Some have interpreted the loss of three members of the Royal couple’s staff as a sign that something is wrong. According to how a source characterized matters to the Sunday Express , this is very unusual. “To lose one member of the household could happen to anyone,” the insider admits. Two is happenstance. But three? “To lose three in a few months is starting to look like a stampede,” the source says. Maybe that is a little dramatic, but that does seem like a lot of turnaround for one couple’s household, right? So … what’s sending these staffers running for the hills? Allegedly, Meghan Markle’s independent attitude is driving away the household staff. As an actress, Meghan was a public figure long before she began dating Prince Harry. And, like most humans, she has a personal sense of style. She remains dedicated to that style even as a duchess, and is resistant to certain Royal traditions that would dictate how she should dress. Meghan wants to dress like herself. She doesn’t feel a need to be dressed in outfits that are virtually identical to those worn by Duchess Kate. We are meant to believe that Meghan’s sense of autonomy is viewed as “tiresome” by household staffers. In June, Meghan wore an off-the-shoulder blush colored Caroline Herrera gown to attend the Trooping of the Colour event. (Gosh, Britain has goofy names for things) She has also worn purses whose straps cross the body rather than a simple clutch. Additionally, Meghan didn’t wear pantyhose for the engagement announcement. All of that is beautiful and even stylish, but flies in the face of stuffy Royal traditions. We’re not sure what to make of these reports. Meghan seems to be a genuinely likeable person. The narrative that she’s “difficult” and resistant to conforming to expectations is tempting, because she’s an American, but that doesn’t mean that it’s true. And it’s difficult to imagine that Meghan and Harry’s secretaries are so personally offended that Meghan’s formal attire isn’t boring enough that they quit. There can be real drama surrounding the Royal Family. But that doesn’t mean that every story has a scandal just beneath the surface. Sometimes, people just quit.

The Walking Dead Recap: The Whisperers Are Here!

Sunday’s episode of The Walking Dead was all about introducing us to the new world we were thrust into after that long time jump, and that meant we got to meet a lot of new characters.  Even after all those years passed, Michonne was still struggling to get over the supposed death of Rick and reiterated that at the top of the episode.  “I know you’re here,” she said. “I’m still here, too. But it hasn’t gotten any easier.”  Judith, meanwhile, was on a mission to bring the group she found back to Alexandria and knew fine well it would cause problems for Michonne, who was adamant about not allowing new people to join them.  But there was still hope. Michonne allowed one of them to receive health care courtesy of Siddiq and said they could plead their case to the council the following morning.  Gabriel, Michonne, Aaron, Laura, Siddiq, and Nora were part of the said council and settled down to learn everything about these potentially new Alexandrians.  Michonne noticed a flaw in one of the women’s tales and checked her arm. This confirmed the woman had done hard time in the slammer.  But that wasn’t all: The group was told to get rid of all their weapons before entering the town, but Manga went against that rule and carried a knife in with her.  That was enough for Michonne to change her outlook on these new additions, and rightfully so.  Elsewhere, Carol was lapping up her status in the town. She had a new hairstyle, an awesome boyfriend, and was happy for the first time in a long time.  The Kingdom was starting to fall apart, and Carol and Ezekiel wanted it all to be fixed up. Henry wanted to be upskilled to do some more stuff around the town.  But Ezekiel was against it because he wanted to keep the boy safe. We also learned that Hilltop was distancing itself from the other communities.  Carol went on a little adventure with Henry, and the pair found themselves in a trap set up by the Saviors, well, what remained of them.  Carol handed over her engagement ring, and they were allowed to return home. Carol returned later and set the lot of them on fire because they made a fool of her.  Back at Alexandria, the newbies were pissed that Magna’s knife landed them in hot water, and meant they were being sent back out to fend for themselves.  Magna opted to sneak around and got set to kill Michonne … until she noticed there was a kid with her. Oh yes, Michonne had a child with Rick! Magna then handed over her knife and apologized for her hostility. Michonne then had a chat with Judith about what the right thing was for them to do.  In the end, Michonne admitted that there was no home for them at Alexandria, but offered to take them to the Hilltop. The episode closed with Eugene and Rosita trying to install a radio to allow them to have communication with the other communities.  But they were ambushed by zombies and found themselves hearing one of them talking.   What the eff is going on? The Walking Dead continues Sundays on AMC.  View Slideshow: The Walking Dead Season 9: What’s About to Go Down?
