Ryan Edwards Teases "Surprise" Pregnancy, No One’s Amused

Ryan Edwards may be a lot of things, but what he is not is ready to be a dad again.  In a clip from Teen Mom OG, Edwards joked to his parents that a brother and sister for Bentley, 7 (mom is ex-girlfriend, Maci Bookout). The comment was prompted by a discussion of more kids for the Tennessee native, and how Mr. and Mrs. Edwards didn't see their son “on any kind of path to have more kids right now,” and that they “needed to find” him a woman. “Bentley will be grown before you have another one,” Mrs. Edwards told her son. In his usual doofy tone, Edwards said to his parents, “I could surprise you next week!” Not funny, his mom said. “Oh please don't,” she told him. “We don't want a surprise,” his dad jumped in. “Let's don't do that.” Talk turned to Bookout's October when, and Mrs. Edwards jokingly asked her son if he was going to be the flower boy. “Weddings are so fun to go, as long as they're not your own,” Edwards said. According to Radar Online , Edwards tweeted (then deleted) that he was going to be a dad again. When the site reached out for a comment, Edwards only had this to say when asked if he's having a baby with ex-girlfriend, Shelby Woods. “Hell, no,” was his only response. In other “Ryan Edwards For Human Of The Year” news, the 27-year-old is currently being investigated by authorities for bragging about his violent answer to the overpopulation of cats that were living around his home. “People act like I’m shooting them with a rifle,” he told Radar of the public reaction. “It’s a damn BB gun that just scares them off! “They’re wild animals that destroy things. It’s not against the law to manage your property.   “People should know what they’re talking about before they talk.” Not so, according to Edwards' mid-August comments on social media. “I got a full size brown one tonight,” Edwards wrote. “I think I got all the little ones so just the devil black cat is left.” The Humane Educational Society worked with local police to check out Edwards' home after he posted Instagrams, and confirmed that they had enough evidence to determine that Edwards was “luring the animals onto his property to kill them.” Edwards told the authorities that he never killed any of the cats.  He was doing it merely to get attention.

Nick Viall: Sex Is So Awesome!

Nick Viall likes to speak his mind and that’s probably why he’s going to be on The Bachelor Season 21.  The 35-year-old has appeared on two seasons of The Bachelorette and one season of Bachelor in Paradise.  He’s kind of becoming a staple of the franchise, but not very many people were glad about him being handed a fourth shot at love.  Most of the hate seems to be on the heels of Luke Pell being ousted from the leading man position in an eleventh hour decision by ABC. It’s not Nick’s fault that Luke was given the boot. Producers must have thought Nick’s storyline would gel better with viewers.  The main thing everyone associated with the series cares about is ratings, so they need to do what they can to keep them high.  Robby Hayes chimed in with his take on it all and even went as far as claiming that Nick was too old for the job.  Yikes! View Slideshow: Nick Viall as The Bachelor: Twitter Reacts! The Bachelor is a reliable performer for ABC, but could people really tune out due to Viall joining the show? We’ll need to wait until January 2017 to find out the answer.  Either way, Nick is continuing to ride out his publicity tour for the reality series.  The latest thing he addressed was revealing he slept with Andi Dorfman on television.  Yeah, that was one of the most awkward TV moments in the history of TV.  We’ll probably never forget it.  It was THAT good.  Dorfman must have been so embarrassed.  “I’m an open book so I don’t mind the fact that it’s out there ,” Nick revealed. “People are well aware of the fact that Andi and I slept together, as well Kaitlyn and I, but I slept with two women that at the time I felt deeply for and thought there was a good chance I could end up with.” Viall was runner up on two seasons of The Bachelorette and has revealed that he was intimate with both of the lead women.  This caused a storm on social media, with Dorfman receiving a lot of flack for it.  Nick also revealed that the frustrating part about it “is that people can’t be objective. By a lot of people’s opinions, I’m slutty or a man whore simply because of those two things. It’s a little silly. I’m no saint, but that’s not who I am.” We know you’re not a saint, Nick.  We’ve watched you on TV a lot.  Nick also made it clear he absolutely should have kept his trap shut about bedding Andi.  “I regret that in the sense that it unnecessarily and unfairly caused Andi to get a lot of flack. I wasn’t trying to accomplish that. Women have as much right as men to do whatever they want behind closed doors.” At least he finally said he regrets it.  Maybe Dorfman will sign up to be on the show and Nick can cut her at final two.  That could be his ultimate revenge for refusing his engagement.  Nick Viall Proposes, Gets Rejected By Kaitlyn Bristowe That would be cruel, but hilarious.  That’s what reality TV is meant to be like. Right? There’s meant to be a whole lot of drama to keep us tuned in every single week.  What do you think of all of this? Hit the comments below!

Mom Blogger Shares Post-Baby Body, Tells the World: THIS Should Be Celebrated!

Note to Kim Kardashian :  You could learn a lot from Laura Mazza. Late last month, Mazza, who blogs for the website Mum on the Run, posted side-by-side photos of herself on Facebook. One was snapped before she had kids. The other was snapped after she had kids. And instead of focusing on some absolute need to lose all the weight that built up due to her pregnancies – like certain reality stars out there continue to do – Mazza said she wanted to share her “Victory Story” with followers. Meaning what, exactly? We’ll let Mazza explain in her own words because the words are all pretty much perfect. Take a look at the before-and-after images above and then read her inspiring message below: No, this isn’t a before and after shot of weight loss. But it is a victory story. I write this from my heart. It hurts. On the left – This was my body before kids. No stretch marks or scars from belly button piercings. A belly button that was high. A flat stomach. I was always on a diet back then. And this was the best diet I went on. I used to take photos of my progress. Uploading this photo wouldn’t be bad, it’s like me being in a bikini. It’s socially acceptable. I took progress photos because it meant I was closer to be a weight where I would love myself. I ate no carbs, and barely any vegetables. Just meat. But I loved it because I was losing weight rapidly and the more bones that protruded the more I valued myself. I ended up hating meat, and was always suffering from heartburn. But still I looked at this photo, this image of myself, like I was fat. There was nothing wrong with the way I looked. My body was mine. No one else would have said anything, they would have told me I looked fit, that I was healthy. I remember people asking me what my excercise routine was… They admired me. I admired me! I bought a whole new wardrobe. I was so proud. I showed off my body. On the right is me now. Stretch marks. A droopy belly button. Thicker, not many bones protruding, but more dimples that represent cellulite. People don’t want to see this photo. All of a sudden it’s not okay. It’s not pleasing to the eye anymore. It’s not a body to be admired. This body, it’s not a result of just meat. It’s a result of eating everything. Fruit, vegetables, carbs; pasta, rice, cakes, chocolate.. Sometimes 20 chicken nuggets. Fish… It’s not always healthy but 99% of it is. The nuggets are for when I’m tired.. Sure. The scars and stretch marks and jiggly tummy is because I made humans. I ate a little more cake, I drank a little more wine. I made mug cakes at 9pm and snuggled on the couch with my husband. But for some reason, I didn’t love this body. It’s sad. This body didnt deserve sexy underwear, or a new wardrobe. Sometimes I didn’t even want to take pregnancy photos because I was ashamed of how big I looked. I didn’t admire this body. I felt like people were forcing me to love my body. “You’ve only got one”… Well, I don’t care. I want to be skinny. But shit, when I was, I wasn’t happy. And I certainly wasn’t healthy. But you know what? I have achieved more with this body, then I have with my old body. I’ve eaten more good foods. I’ve lived more, I’ve given more, I’ve enjoyed more. I’ve made life. This body, THIS body should be celebrated and admired. I should admire myself. I should love myself. I get it now. Celebrating all body types. All body types and the stories that go with that body. Above all, THE person should be celebrated. Healthy bodies should be celebrated. Healthy should be what we strive for. Healthy minds, healthy journey’s and however that reflects on to our bodies, we should admire it. I still want to look like the first photo, no doubt. I miss that body, it makes me sad. But I want to get there in a healthy way, mentally and physically. I want to be proud and at peace with this body. And I want to like what I’ve got now. No.. I want to love what I’ve got now. No matter what size you are, a size 6 or size 60. You deserve to celebrate it. Sexy underwear AND a new wardrobe. So love your body, because you truly really really, only get one! And it’s STILL sexy to wear granny jocks! Woop woop! Case closed. Mic dropped. Internet hero, revealed. Thank you, Laura Mazza.

Scott Disick: Dating Sofia Richie as Revenge on Justin Bieber?!

The Justin Bieber-Scott Disick feud has gotta be one of the strangest in the history of recent celebrity beefs. It started, as so many things do, with the Biebs gettin’ it on. In this case, Bieber (allegedly) slept with Kourtney Kardashian , Disick’s longtime partner and mother to his three children. Scott and Kourtney broke up several months before she (allegedly) banged Justin, but even so, it was a major embarrassment for Disick. Of course, it didn’t help that Bieber was his usual smug self about the whole situation. Now, however, it looks as though the tables may have turned, and Scott might be the one having the last laugh. Unfortunately for Bieber, he made himself vulnerable by breaking the first rule of villainy: Never get romantically involved with anyone, as it makes you vulnerable to your enemies. As you may know, Bieber is dating Sofia Richie , best known as the daughter of Lionel and sister of Nicole. Okay, “dating” might be a strong word, but Justin and Sofia are definitely doing things together, and they’ve been doing them for a surprisingly long time. (With the exception of his perennially on-again, off-again romance with Selena Gomez, Justin generally isn’t the settling down type.) Anyway, according to OK! magazine, Sofia and Scott were spotted at a club together in LA last night. Interestingly, Justin was nowhere to be found. Now, it’s possible that witnesses are simply exaggerating Scott and Sofia’s proximity. They may have just been at the same club coincidentally, and those present decided it would make for a better story if these two were at the club together . If there is something going on, however, then Scott is guilty of cradle-robbing that would make Tyga look like someone you could trust to drive your teenage daughter to school. Not only is Sofia only 18, she just turned 18 two weeks ago. Scott’s 33, which means their age difference is damn close to the number of years Sofia’s been on the planet. And people thought Sofia was too young for Justin ! View Slideshow: Justin Bieber: A Timeline of Poontang In all likelihood, of course, there’s probably nothing going on between these two. In fact, if Scott did invite Sofia to the club, he probably just did it to mess with Justin. And if that’s the case, it’s a masterstroke of evil worthy of the Biebs himself.

Big Brother Spoilers: Veto & Final Nominations

Big Brother is at the stage of the game that everything is getting ridiculously predictable.  The Final Four  alliance continued to make their presence felt in the house and it has caused multiple arguments.  Natalie and James are pretty annoyed that Nicole and Corey ditched them to form an alliance with Paul and Victor.  With that in mind, James has stabbed pretty much everyone he’s been in an alliance with this summer, so there’s that.  James may be great at making people think their in the wrong, but really, he is the one in the wrong.  It was great that Victor saw through all the lies on Sunday’s episode.  James and Natalie have pretty much been bickering non stop over the last few days in the house.  This won’t help their case to make a deal with someone else before one of them is evicted.  Really, the only way to survive is to literally offer to settle for second place, but would either of them do that? Michelle probably would have.  Secretly, Natalie resents James for making her trust Corey and Nicole.  To an extent, I agree with her, but she kind of deserves what she’s getting for putting her game in James’ hands.  How can she expect to go much further when all of her decisions have been made by James? Granted, she did win a HOH competition, but she ultimately took what James said to heart and followed through on his plan.  Basically, James won HOH that week.  A lot was riding on the Veto competition for the couple. They could have one of them taken off the block.  Sadly, regardless how it played out, there was no chance Victor would allow any of his alliance to go home.  The Final Four is pretty solid for now, but that will change somewhat after next week.  View Slideshow: 12 Big Brother Houseguests We Loved… Or Loved to Hate All of the houseguests competed in the veto competition, but James and Natalie were left disappointed when Corey managed to eke out a victory.  This led to much bickering over who should be sent packing this week. Victor was very much against James.  Thanks to Nicorey, they’re saying James would be best to stay because he would be rattled by Natalie’s departure.  For now, it appears that Natalie is heading to the jury house on Thursday night, but things can change.  James has been campaigning for Natalie to stay, but it’s all for nothing right now.  Elsewhere, Paul and Victor had a chat about who they would take to final three with them and it’s sounding like Nicole might be their ticket to the end.  Nicole has not played much of a game, but she has a better chance of winning than Corey.  It would be silly to take her to the end over Corey. Though she hasn’t played a game, she has managed to float on through, while getting her targets out of the game.  That’s got to count for something with the jurors.  What do you think of the latest spoilers? Who do you want to be evicted? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: 13 Most Toxic Relationships in Reality TV History
