Jax Taylor: Smoking Weed Saved My Life!

Sadly, Vanderpump Rules appears to have entered that stage in the life cycle of every popular reality show in which the cast is too relatively rich and famous to engage in the sort of petty squabbles and public outbursts that made them relatively rich and famous in the first place. (You have to speak in relative terms when it comes to the Vanderpump cast. They’re much more well-known and well-off than most of their viewers, but the eagerness with which they court celebrity fans like Chrissy Teigen reminds you they don’t carry much clout in their Hollywood stomping grounds.) Jersey Shore might stand as the only exception to this rule — a non-competition-based reality show that’s managed to stay fresh past its sixth season. But that’s largely due to the fact that the cast took a several-year hiatus from filming, and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro had a baby with a violent psycho . All of this is to say that the Vanderpump Rules cast should probably be grateful that James Kennedy is the most colossal douche in the history of television. Otherwise, you’d just have the happily coupled-up front-of-house staff at an LA restaurant peacefully cruising toward the big 4-0. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it just doesn’t always make for the most compelling television. Take Jax Taylor, for example. Last year, Jax cheated on his girlfriend, Brittany Cartwright , then proceeded to gaslight her for days once he’d been busted. We should note that Jax has a long history of infidelity, compulsive lying, and abusive behavior, and yet he still has a circle of friends. These days, Jax and Britanny are engaged , and the narrative surrounding Taylor is that he’s “changed his ways” and won’t totally cheat on Cartwright while they’re still in their honeymoon phase. As you may have guessed, we’re a bit skeptical on the topic of Taylor’s miraculous transformation, but anything is possible. Taylor says the death of his father earlier this year was instrumental in helping to turn his life around — but weed helped, too. “I was in a deep rut. I was literally going to lock myself in a room and do enough drugs to hurt myself,” Taylor tells Men’s Health in a newly-published interview. “Brittany was, like, ‘I understand where you’re coming from. I can’t imagine what you’re going through, but can you try something?'”  He says Cartwright encouraged him to get a medical marijuana card, which enabled him to cut back on booze, get back in shape, and be a better partner. “I tried it, and it changed my life,” he said. “I said, ‘You know what? I’m not going to hurt myself. I’m not going to drink. I’m going to flip this around and make my dad proud. I’m going to go to the gym. We’re going to start some businesses. We’re going to move up.'” Taylor is slowly but surely getting there. As we learned from this week’s episode of Vanderpump , he and Cartwright are starting their own “beer cheese” company, which could work, but is sort of an ironic business venture for a guy who just got back into shape. Taylor says he was appalled recently to learn he had gained 100 pounds in 4 years: “I was eating more crap than I was working out. Postmates came out. I can order Doritos from my couch?” he said. ” Making a Murderer marathon is on? I’m not getting off of this couch. I’m going to eat everything in sight. Then you wake up and you’re like, ‘What is that?’ That’s my belly.” Taylor says he was disappointed that his friends didn’t intervene which is hilarious, not only in that he thinks he deserves loyal friends, but also because he thinks he wouldn’t have thrown a tantrum if they’d pointed out to him that he’s packing on the pounds.

Ryan Edwards: Back on Tinder After Rehab AND New Baby?!

You know how Ryan Edwards just got out of a long stay in rehab and everybody had high hopes that he could actually turn his life around this time? Yeah, about that … See, Ryan's done a lot of not-so-great things over the years. Lots and lots of them. One of those things is that he made a Tinder profile and tried to hook up with girls while married to Mackenzie Standifer. He's done that a couple of times, and now? Well, it looks like he's gone and done it again. 1. Dang It, Ryan 2018 just hasn’t been Ryan’s year, let’s be honest. 2. Huh But if 2018 hasn’t been his year … what year HAS been good for him? 3. Real Talk Ryan’s always been kind of a mess, right? Nearly 10 years ago when Maci was 16 and Pregnant, we saw him be pretty rude and indifferent about everything, and not much has changed since then. 4. Yup He’s never been a super active father, he’s never gone out of his way to get along with Maci, or with anyone, really. 5. There It Is But a couple of years ago, it became increasingly clear that Ryan seemed to be suffering from some kind of substance abuse problem. 6. Awww Last year, Maci confirmed that he had a drug problem on Teen Mom OG, and while she didn’t say what his drug of choice was, she did say that she’d heard from mutual friends that things had taken a terrifying turn.

Miley Cyrus Risks Catastrophic Nip-Slip on Saturday Night Live

Miley Cyrus was Saturday Night Live 's musical guest. But it was not her voice or song selection that turned heads. No — Twitter made it very clear that her eye-catching wardrobe choice was driving viewers to distraction. She wore a very shiny jacket … and nothing underneath. No shirt and no bra. Miley did not have a nip slip, thanks to some very praise-worthy wardrobe choices. But audiences weren't so confident of that, and they kept their eyes glued in awe and nervousness during Miley's performance. Take a look: 1. First, here was her look She looks great as she performs beside Mark Ronson. But was she courting disaster? 2. Viewers were amazed Anyone else old enough to be having flashbacks to Jennifer Lopez’s infamous dress? If you’re ready to feel ancient, know that J Lo’s dress was at the Grammy Awards in 2000. 3. It was distracting Distracting, in this case, refers to the tension as the audience wondered if her boob was going to pop out on live television. 4. Others vowed to remain focused Even the people concentrating on her voice had to acknowledge that she pulled off one hell of a look. 5.

Michelle Duggar Weight Loss: Shocking Pics Worry Fans

The Duggar family is in Central America, getting dragged for being nuts . But that’s not what has the attention of fans. Followers of the infamous family have noticed that Michelle looks very different. Has she lost weight — or is she, as some fans fear, severely ill? The Duggars have been posting photos from their trip down south. Michelle’s face has looked noticeably different — more so than some added tanning could explain. This has some fans and followers worried. “Michelle looks sickly skinny,” observed one concerned commenter. Others were less concerned. “Michelle looks like she has lost quite a bit of weight,” another commenter observed. That same commenter continued: “Good for her. Wish I could.” Another followed up with a comment: “I agree.” This same person admitted: “I didn’t realize it was Michelle at first.” When people’s appearances change suddenly, it can be jarring for fans who only see them in social media posts. “You can see in her face she lost weight,” that person concluded. “She looks great!” Other fans were more direct with their praise. “Holy cow,” wrote yet another commenter. “Michelle looks amazing!” Several years ago, Michelle spoke out about body image. While she’s not going to win any feminist-of-the-year awards, she made some solid points. “We’re always going to find somebody skinnier than we are, somebody bigger than we are,” Michelle noted. For all but two people on the planet, she was exactly right. “Every girl struggles with, ‘Oh, I wish I looked like that or I wish my hair was like that,’” she admitted. “We go back to the point of who you are and how God made you,” she said. “You’re not your sister.” For Michelle, it’s all viewed through the lens of her faith: “It’s all about being who God wants YOU to be.” Of course, the Duggar family isn’t the kind who purposefully show off their post-baby bodies . At least, that’s not how Michelle raised them to be. “Our interpretation [of modesty is] that from the neck down to the knee should be covered,” Michelle has explained. “By keeping those private areas covered,” she claimed. “There’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on.” That’s an extremely silly word choice, which she explains. “My kids are taught the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled,” Michelle said. Absurd. Other people’s desires are their business and no one else’s.  She concluded: “We don’t believe in defrauding others by the way we dress.” Michelle’s beyond-questionable ideas about whether women are sorceresses who can entrace men with their sin-curves aside … … Her words about respecting your body for its appearance were pretty wise. She frames her version of body positivity through her specific religious beliefs, of course, but that is perfectly okay. So, is Michelle deliberately making an effort to lose weight now that she’s no longer a baby-factory? Is she under the weather and losing weight because of that? Sometimes, that happens on vacations. But sometimes people just drop a lot of water weight when they’re abroad, especially if they are spending a lot of time in warm temperatures. Maybe Michelle will explain. But if she doesn’t, that’s fine. She may believe that her body is her husband’s property, but in reality, her body is her business and hers alone.

90 Day Fiance Recap: "Take the Ring and F-ck You!"

On this week’s new episode of 90 Day Fiance, Eric chose someone he’s known for approximately 90 days over someone he has known literally his entire life: His daughter. How did it even arrive at this point? Leida said she was prepared to call it quits with Eric and head back to Indonesia because he refused to buy her new furniture. That was the reason the pair started to argue at least. Leida explained how was overly stressed about child support and also about Eric’s daughter, Tasha, still living in the house with them. She claimed to be truly fed up and nearly finished with it all. “I feel like I’m forcing myself to get married with you because I don’t want to leave this country cause I have a lot of opportunity to pursue my medical career here,” she told Eric. After some cajoling, however, Leida accepted the child support. However, after she arrived home and saw Tasha’s dirty room, she lost it once again.  “If you’re going to threaten to leave him, get the f-ck out of my country,” Tasha screamed at Leida, sick and tired of her threats. But this was not the route Eric chose to go; nope, Leida actually got him to kick Tasha out, making Tasha feel like her father was selecting Leida over his children. Because that’s exactly what he was doing. “I don’t know where me and my dad stand anymore,” Tasha cried. “I don’t want to just not see my dad anymore, but if this is how it’s going to be, then I guess it’s how it’s going to be.” Crazy, right? And also crazy sad? Speaking of crazy, let’s turn to Colt and Larissa , shall we? The couple is MARRIED , in case you had not heard, but tension still exists between Colt’s family and his now-wife. In an attempt to do away with it, Colt wanted to host a barbecue in the hopes that Larissa, his mom, Debbie, and his cousin John could try to develop some kind of relationship. However, the plan backfired when Larissa started talking about them moving out and leaving Debbie behind, which prompted a great deal of screaming and yelling. You know, par for the Colt and Larissa course. “Nobody will make me believe that just because she’s Colt’s mother she’s allowed to make my life a hell,” Larissa said to John, addng: “I love him and I want to respect his mother, but I won’t put my head down and let someone control me.” Sick of pretending he was in support of the marriage, John went right ahead and took aim at Larissa in response. “You should feel like a damn queen with a rock like that but, no, you take advantage,” John said. “That bitch is here for his money. Period. … This is fake. It’s bullsh-t. That’s not true love.” From there, Larissa disinvited John to her wedding and Colt tried to calm his fiancee down. To no avail whatsoever. “Take your f-cking ring,” Larissa yelled. “Marry the woman your mother like. OK, take the ring and f-ck you.” Were things any calmer for  Ashley and Jay ? These two were feeling uneasy after they received a series of racist and violent threats against them and their wedding. In response, they installed security cameras in their house, yet their friends and family member were dropping out of attending the nuptials because they felt unsafe. The stars figured they had no choice but to elope in Las Vegas as a result. “The racist comments on our website really rattled us,” Ashley said. “Sometimes I think that a scary situation makes you get closer in your relationship.” Finally, we conclude with  Asuelu and Kalani . Their relationship was on the thin ice after they got into a heated exchange last week in front of Kalani’s sister. Kalani felt as if she didn’t want to marry Asuelu anymore, while Asuelu simply grew quiet and shut down any time she brought this up. On Sunday night, however, they tried to talk about their major issues. “You’re not the person that I knew in Samoa,” Kalani said. “You don’t really talk to me. You don’t really try to fix problems.” Asuelu responded with tears, saying he felt a lack physical affection from Kalani. “He really believes that I don’t love him if I don’t want to cuddle him,” Kalani said, seemingly in shock that Asuelu could feel this way. Thankfully, though, this discussed seemed to clear up some problems in their relationship and Kalani even admitted she was excited to plan their wedding.

Jana Kramer DESTROYS Trolls Who Shamed Her Post-Baby Body

At the end of November, actress Jana Kramer welcomed her rainbow baby — her first child following a miscarriage. The mother of two shared a photo of herself in form-fitting clothing, and trolls piled on with hate and body-shaming. Now, Jana is replying with some tough words of her own. “A few things,” Jana writes on Instagram. “Because honestly I’m so frustrated and I need to vent this.” She attached her caption to a cropped mirror selfie of her and her post-baby body, an image that you are about to see. “I wanted to post this photo (showing my stomach),” she says. “Because I wanted to show my journey back to healthy.” “And my goodness,” she continues. “I’m so glad I didn’t which is why this photo is now cropped,” “It’s amazing the comments,” she marvels. “And how rude some people be.” “No I didn’t get a tummy tuck, no I don’t have a personal chef, no I don’t have fortunes so I didn’t train everyday,” she says. She correctly points out that a lot of the standard ways that people lose weight rapidly come through wealth. However, some are blessed with genetics that make them ‘bounce back” from pregnancy a little faster than others. “Yes I had a c section,” she affirms. “Yes I am still in pain and on meds but I do have a high pain tolerance.” “I have had 3 stomach surgeries before this (appendix, gallbladder, and c section),” she notes. “In that photo,” she says. “I had on a belly bandit wrapped tightly, and high waisted pants.” “And wow,” she says. “Here I am defending myself. Why?!!” Jana writes that if she had “posted the photo of my actual stomach in this photo I would have probably been shamed too.” Sadly, she is absolutely right. People are vile. “Why do we women have to compare ourselves to each other and then shame?” she openly wonders. “Our bodies are all beautiful and created differently, they heal different, they react different,” she notes. Jana continues, writing: “they simply look different.” They sure do. “Why do we need to shame someone for not looking a certain way?” she asks. The answer is complicated, but part of the answer comes down to how women are socialized to be filled with undeserved self-loathing. Another important part is that the illusion of anonymity and the ability to instantly reply emboldens some humans to be cruel online. “Or,” Jana continues. “Feel bad about ourselves for looking a certain way?” “Can we be kinder to ourselves,” she asks. “And know that every woman has a different journey but yet we are all beautiful?” “Can we lift someone up,” Jana asks. “But not tear yourself down in the process with comparing?” It is absolutely possible! “Let’s give that a try,” Jana suggests. “I love y’all,” she concludes, adding that she is going to get “back to my baby.” It sounds like she has the right priorities. Jana welcomed her rainbow baby, Jace, into the world on November 29. “Jace. My sweet baby boy,” she wrote at the time. “When I found out Jace meant ‘healing’ I knew right then that was his name.” It’s a great name, especially if you hope that your child will grow up to be a love interest in a Young Adult novel. “He has been every bit of healing since I found out we were being blessed with another baby,” she gushed. “I love you so much baby boy.” “Welcome to the world Jace Joseph Caussin,” she said. “Our hearts are so full.” She concluded: “Thank you to all our friends and family and all of you who have supported Mike and I and our growing family.” View Slideshow: 29 Stars Who Shamed Their Body-Shamers

The Real Housewives of Orange County Recap: Who Called Shannon Beador Out?

With The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 13 in the can, there’s one thing that’s become abundantly clear about the most recent season: Shannon Beador does not like any of the new additions to the cast. If you watch The Real Housewives of Orange County online , you already know the long-term cast member blatantly ignores Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter whenever they try to talk to her.  Gina claimed on Sunday’s reunion show that Shannon is “an open book of bulls–t.” Gina was tired of the back and forth with Shannon and felt like the recently single housewife was lying about everything, all while putting on a show for the cameras.  According to Gina, Shannon called her up and said the following: “I have a history of not remembering things, and I’m in a custody case, and I’m afraid that I’m gonna lose my children. I wanna know what was said.” As you may recall, Gina was the one who told Shannon what was said about her after her meltdown in Jamaica. That thinly veiled attempt at finding a friend while throwing another under the bus did not go unnoticed, and Shannon assumed Tamra Judge was the person talking about her.  Gina said during the reunion that she even offered to bring up the comments in front of the other woman to prove she was telling the truth but added that Shannon told her to leave it.  Andy Cohen interjected and asked whether that was the truth, but Shannon essentially called Gina a liar.  “Yes, you did! You’re lying!” Gina screamed, adding: “Maybe it’s your selective memory? All I know is that you told me you were gonna lose your kids, and I felt bad for you and told you what was said.” “I was in the middle of a divorce. There was no custody issue then!” Shannon fired back. “I’m going through a custody issue now. Don’t put words in my mouth!” “DON’T SAY WORDS! YOU ARE AN OPEN BOOK OF BULLSHIT!” Gina yelled back. “IT IS RIDICULOUS! PAGES AND PAGES! NOBODY WANTS TO READ IT ANYMORE!” “I was just trying to help you!” Gina continued. “All your friends talked about you being mentally ill on that trip.” Kelly Dodd and Vicki Gunvalson went on to say that everyone deals with things differently. Maybe they were trying to throw some support Shannon’s way, or something, but it fell flat.  Tamra then chimed in and stood up for her former BFF. She felt like Gina should not have said anything about it because Shannon was recovering for surgery and not in the best state of mind.  “I am sorry I brought it up. Shannon, I promise you I feel bad for you,” Gina said in response. “I really do. And I promise you, on a level, I understand what you’re going through.” “I’m sorry. I’m really not trying to make a problem for anybody, and anybody who knows me knows I don’t go with malice in my heart,” Gina continued.  “I feel terrible for you and what you’re going through. I’m going through it, too. It sucks. I promise you. I got my heart broken, too, okay? In my heart, at the time, I was just checking in. Looking back on it now, I think it was bad timing.” “I accept your apology,” said Shannon as though she had to force herself to say it.  Okay then.  What are your thoughts on the latest twists and turns?

Let It Gooo: 10 Classic Shows We’d Rather See On Netflix Besides Friends

More here:

Source: Jean-Paul Aussenard / Getty The power of the Internet has struck again, and this time, Netflix was it’s victim. False reports have been spreading all month long that the streaming service would be getting rid of Friends as of January 1, 2019. But as we all know, Friends fans will do anything to keep Chandler, Ross, Rachel and the rest of the crew on air as long as humanly possible. According to Entertainment Weekly , “A Change.org petition was even launched begging Netflix to keep the title, calling its removal “unfair, unacceptable and downright inhumane.” Although Netflix had no intention on getting rid of the popular show, they must’ve got wind of the backlash, because the following day it was reported that the streaming service paid $100 million to keep Friends throughout 2019. EW added, “Netflix bought the rights to Friends back in 2014 in a massive deal, shelling out $118 million for the rights for all 10 seasons of the former NBC series. Plus the service digitally remastered every episode for HD streaming. Netflix introduced Friends to a new generation where it became popular all over again as a dose of ’90s nostalgia.” But is it just us, or are there far better shows out there that would probably cost much less than Friends and bring in twice as many viewers? The service has also been criticized for getting rid of content that were predominantly geared toward people of color. @AlsWulf tweeted , “Netflix out here dropping amazing shows that have a positive impact on the minority community like The Get Down due to it being “too expensive”, but drop $100mil on Friends because a certain demographic complained.” @CandaceJeanne also brought up a great point. She wrote, “Dearest @Netflix: Think of all the projects from women, people of color, LGBTQ folks and more that you could fund with that additional $60 million. (I mean, I don’t know how much it costs to make a show but I’m gonna guess it’s at least more than one.)” If Netflix knew what was good for them, they’d listen to millenials and POC — a.k.a. their central audience —about what content folks would like to see on the service. So we put together a list, just in case they need some help. Hit the flip to check it out. And if we missed anything, share your thoughts on Twitter and Facebook.

Jersey Shore Recap: Ready to Ruuuumble!

DING! DING! DING! The gloves came off on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation this week — but not between Ronnie Jen Harley for a change. Instead, some loser/jerk/douchebag at a club insulted Deena, which brought the cast together in retribution against this loser/jerk/douchebag . Where did things go from where? How ugly and/or violent did it get? And do we have an update on Jen and Ronnie??? Scroll down to find out! 1. Keeping Things Chill Deena Cortese was pregnant and back in town early in this episode. As a result, the ladies decided to do a low-key, “classy” wine night. What could go wrong from there, right? 2. No, He Didn’t Mean Phat Together, they drank, they ate “17 pounds of cheese. And they laughed. And they had a fun time overall. However, on their way out of the restaurant, some dude in white linen pants slammed as Deena fat. 3. Take It Away, JWOWW! “Oh, hell no!” Jenni told the camera. “You can come after me all day, but the moment you talk about my friends, game over. I will annihilate you.” 4. What the Eff is Wrong with You?!? JWOWW then charged at the dude and asked him: “Were you just making fun of a pregnant girl?!” Without missing a beat, he replied, “I was. I did. I called her fat.” 5. And Then It… Was… On! BOOM! “You’re a piece of shit! You’re a f-cking bitch, bro!” she yelled in the loser’s face. White Linen Pants Man called Jenni a bitch and suggested she should go party with him. 6. Wanna Get Whooped?!? “You wanna get whooped by a f-ckin bitch?! This is what’s wrong with America. Piece of shits like you going after pregnant girls,” Jenni added before the girls managed to pull her away. “He’s lucky that I’m full of brie and have Louboutins on.” HA! View Slideshow
