In 2017 alone, the U.S. was hit with multiple Category 4 or more hurricanes, including Hurricane Harvey (which hit parts of Texas and Louisiana), Hurricane Irma (which hit various Caribbean islands and parts of Florida) and Hurricane Maria (which hit various Caribbean islands, including Puerto Rico). Each hurricane has caused major displacement and devastation amongst residents, and now in 2018, parts of the Carolinas and Virginia have been tragically hit by Hurricane Florence. Relief efforts after each hurricane continues to be a challenge and our current commander-in-chief isn’t necessarily making things smoothers. Even though Donald Trump has made appearances to places hit hard by hurricanes, his insensitive rhetoric and just plain ridiculousness continues to make people wonder how this man became president. Hit the next pages for a teaser of all the outrageous things Trump has said in the midst of tragedy.

Getty Images The Bachelor Winter Games Is Coming Soon To A TV Near You The show first started off as just a series titled, The Bachelor –but soon the franchise branched out into The Bachelorette , Bachelor in Paradise , and now a new addition to the family titled, The Bachelor Winter Games . It seemed like the ABC hit couldn’t occupy any more time on TV, with one season of a series ended a week or two after the last (a cycle that’s gone on for the past couple of years), but now they’re found a way to overlap seasons of the same show. Meet the cast of #TheBachelorWinterGames , coming to ABC Tuesday, Feb 13. Plus, more cast announcements to come! https://t.co/eB8xS4gU4C pic.twitter.com/WMkiXIJpyi — The Bachelor (@BachelorABC) January 8, 2018 The show’s newest addition will be a four-part series that consists of olympic-style winter games while the contestants simultaneously try to find love. The entire franchise is supposedly about finding love, so that’s no surprise, but how that process relates to contestants playing winter games is unknown. The event isn’t just for those from the US series either, this new show will feature contestants from the US, UK, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, China, Canada, Sweden and Finland. With this idea, they’ve managed to make a show filled with 90% white contestants that much whiter. It’s safe to say that 22 seasons in, this franchise is truly milking their viewership for all its worth.
[Sorry. This video cannot be displayed in this feed. View your video here.] The Netflix show Narcos is set to return with season three this weekend, but some familiar faces will be missing. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is done with Pablo Escobar and is now focused on the Cali Cartel. I got the opportunity to chat with the new antagonist of the franchise, David Rodriguez played by Arturo Castro from Broad City fame. David is the son of the the Cali Cartel head and he is hell bent on making sure his father remains in power. He’s even willing to kill to make it happen. On playing the character, Arturo said, “The darker it went, the more fun it was for me. The most violent of scenes were really elaborate to shoot and the most fun days.” I also got to meet the money guy who launders the cash for the Cali Cartel, Franklin Jurado played by Miguel Angel Silvestre . He told us that after reading the script, he was hooked and knew he needed to be part of the show. “I was really impressed,” he said. Check out the newest members of Narcos above and be sure to catch the premiere on Netflix this Friday, September 1.
In the past, Donald Trump and Pope Francis have not seen eye to eye on several issues. It's mostly because the only thing they have in common is that they are both white male human beings, though the “human being” bit is still up for debate on Trump's end. But still, they put their differences aside yesterday for a meeting in Vatican City. And oh, what a joyous time it was. In photos released from the meeting, Pope Francis looks absolutely miserable. Trump is smiling, Ivanka and Melania are wearing black dresses and veils … It's a mess. A glorious, hilarious mess. And you know Twitter is here for it. 1. A Remarkable Resemblance The Trumps do look a little like The Addams Family here, but they wish they could be as iconic. 2. Poor Pope We’d want ice cream too, bud. 3. A Tragedy But still, perfectly understandable. 4. “Freaky Sh-t” Unfortunately, we’ve been dealing with nothing but “freaky sh-t” for months now. 5. Super Awkward Don’t you hate when that happens? 6. Sending a Message The Pope is nothing if not subtle. View Slideshow
Who out there doesn't love Panera Bread? It's probably the best fast food restaurant out there. So good, in fact, that it may not even deserve to be lumped in as a “fast food” chain. Before you order your next sandwich or pastry from the establishment, however, get to know Panera Bread a bit better via the following array of facts. They may take you by extreme surprise… 1. It Originated in Missouri And it remained a local joint called “St. Louis Bread Co.” until the founder of Au Bon Pain took it national. 2. The OG In St. Louis, the franchise is STILL known as The St. Louis Bread Company. 3. “Panera” Means Bread Bowl Sort of. The name translates to “bread basket”or “bread box” in Spanish. 4. There are Four States Without a Panera Bread Sorry, residents of Utah, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. 5. You May Want to Own Some Stock In It Panera is traded publically on NASDAQ. On the day it went public, – June 10, 1991 – shares topped out at $13.25, according to Yahoo! Finance. On February 18, 2017, it hit a peak of $179.37. 6. It Has HOW MANY Locations?!? Over 2,000. In 2015, it was named the most innovative company by Fast Company and opened its 2,000th bakery-café in March 2016. View Slideshow
There have been lots of great Teen Mom feuds in the past, and for obvious reasons, they usually involve Farrah Abraham in some form. The latest might be one of the ugliest beefs the franchise has ever seen, though … it’s an understatement to say this escalated quickly. While Farrah has yet to fire a salvo in this explosive back and forth, the firebrand is currently at the heart of some serious trash talk. It all started during Monday night’s episode of Teen Mom: OG when a fan cracked a joke about Farrah’s now-infamous mini-horse, Starburst. That caught the attention of Farrah’s boyfriend, Simon Saran, who – when he’s not fighting with Farrah – doubles as a full-time Internet troll. “Stop being a hater. Go protest at a zoo or sea world,” he tweeted. “Sea World is at @KailLowry’s house, right?” the fan responded. That’s when things really got ugly. Simon has a history of trash-talking other stars of the Teen Mom franchise, but we don’t think he’s ever gone in on one of the ladies quite like this: As you can see, Kailyn defended herself, and the conversation quickly went from zero to over-the-top disgusting. Saran went full-Trump, bashing Lowry for everything from her failed relationships to her alleged promiscuity: “Sure, if you are looking to free Shamu!” Simon said in response to the aforementioned Sea World comment. As usual, Saran made up the more nauseating half of the conversation, but Kailyn crossed a few lines too. “Shamu is almost as wide as your girlfriend’s vag,” she tweeted in obvious reference to Farrah Abraham. “Or as wide as the door your baby daddy ran through when he heard you were pregnant! Got a baby by buster lol,” Saran fired back. Yeah. As fans of the franchise likely know, Kailyn is expecting her third child , but does not have a relationship with the baby’s father. So it was a low blow on his part, but … so is this: “At least he didn’t have curtains to run through,” Lowry replied, once again presumably in reference to Farrah’s vagina. “Girl everyone has ran through you!” Saran shot back. “Bc I’m a hoe & white trash right? I’ve heard it all. You can get your balls out of Farrah’s purse now,” Kailyn responded. Saran didn’t respond to that right away, but several fans fired off remarks about Kailyn cheating on Javi Marroquin . Rumors that the Teen Mom 2 star was unfaithful while her U.S. Air Force husband was deployed overseas ran rampant last year. It’s a sensitive topic that was never really resolved, so for obvious reasons, Lowry was in no rush to respond to those allegations. Simon wasn’t about to let a cheap shot pass, though. “Roll call! Line em up! Probably 100 mother f–kers in that lineup. That whole damn football team,” Saran eventually replied. While Kailyn Lowry’s past romances and love life in general have sparked plenty of controversy, that’s taking it a bit far, no? It seems that was the end of the conversation for now, but considering it’s these two, you can bet there’s more to come.
