Joe Giudice: Suicidal as He Awaits Deportation?

These are dark times in the life of the man once known as Juicy Joe. Though Joe Giudice has been released from prison after serving three years of a four-year sentence on tax fraud charges, the former reality star’s problems might be just getting started. You see, Joe was born in Italy, and despite several decades of living in the United States, he never bothered to become an American citizen. This, despite the fact that as a well-off white guy married to a woman who was born here, it would probably would have been very easy for Joe to become a citizen. As a result, of this lapse in judgment, Joe is set to be deported. He went straight from prison to an ICE detention center in Pennsylvania — which sounds an awful lot like prison. “Joe’s in a tough spot right now,” Teresa’s brother , Joe Gorga, tells Us Weekly . “He’s locked up in a jail cell with bars” Joe’s adds. “The other facility that he was at, he wasn’t in a jail cell. So he’s having a very, very hard time, and he really wants to get out.” Though the Joes were never exactly besties, it’s clear that Gorga is feeling sympathetic toward his troubled brother-in-law these days. “He got released [from prison in March] — ICE took him over — and he’s miserable,” says Gorga. There are several factors contributing to Joe’s misery, not the least of which is that it looks as though Teresa Giudice plans to leave him once he’s shipped off to the Mediterranean. “If he’s deported, she’s not going to go to Italy,” Gorga claims. “She’s not going to move her children. It’s just that there’s nothing to do in Italy. There’s no jobs; the best you can do is work in a restaurant or work in a gas station,” he adds. “It’s very difficult in Italy. … So I believe she’s making the right decision for her and for her girls.” Insiders have claimed that Joe has been placed on suicide watch, but thus far, authorities have not confirmed or denied that there’s any risk of Giudice taking his own life. In what might actually be a good in terms of his mental state, it appears that Joe is still clinging to hope. His lawyers are hard at work on an appeal, and he’s been in almost daily contact with Teresa, despite the fact that his deportation would likely mean the end of their marriage. “They talk almost every day,” says Gorga of Joe and Teresa’s communications. “Believe it or not, he could call as many times as he wants. It’s crazy. I mean, if he wants to call 30 times a day, he can. So they talk a lot.” But it sounds as though Teresa is keeping the lines of communication open primarily in order to appease her husband. Gorga says her top priority remains her children, and she would never dream of uprooting her family and moving to Italy, “Teresa’s put up a good front, but our relationship is very tight right now and [I] know she breaks down to me,” Gorga says. “She just has to keep it strong for those for little girls [daughters Gia, 18, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9],” he adds. “The girls are having it rough also. “They’re really struggling. … It’s just very, very hard. The family is going through a very tough time right now.” Stating the obvious, Gorga concludes, “Life is very hard for them.” Yes, Joe and Teresa may have had it coming — but it’s hard not to feel sympathetic toward the entire Giudice clan right now.

Tarek El Moussa Ruins Pregnant Ex-Wife’s Gender Reveal In Ultimate Douche Move

Despite the fact that Tarek and Christina El Moussa’s divorce was anything but amicable, it seems the couple has managed to mostly patch up their differences in order to work out an amicable co-parenting relationship. Of course, Tarek may have just flushed all that goodwill down the toilet with one boneheaded blunder that might have been an intentional act of malice. As you may have heard, Christina has gotten re-married to a dude named Ant Anstead, who is amazingly not Antman’s alter-ego. Not only that, Christina and Ant are expecting a child together — and it sounds like everyone is pretty psyched about it. Obviously, Christina and Ant are excited, and it seems their joy is shared by Christina’s kids from her marriage with Tarek, and even Tarek himself is happy for the newlyweds. In fact, Ant couldn’t STFU about his ex’s big news during a recent interview with TMZ Live . “I’m excited for her new chapter in life,” he began, innocently enough. “And they’re a great couple and I really do hope the best for them.” So things started out on a positive note, but they quickly took a turn for the idiotic: “She’s remarried, she’s actually pregnant, everyone knows that,” Tarek added. “She’s having a son. My kids are super excited.” Yeah, that’s great that he’s so happy for his ex, but there’s one problem with Tarek’s statements: Christina and Ant had not yet revealed the baby’s gender, and they were likely planning to do so in the form of a lucrative exclusive with People magazine or some such outlet. The couple has thus far remained quiet on the subject of Christina’s ex ruining their surprise and screwing them out of a payday, but one of their reps issued a statement to People that can only be described as downright icy: “While Christina and Ant wished they could have shared the news themselves, they are very excited to welcome a baby boy in the fall,” said the insider. Yikes. Did anyone else get a chill down their spine reading that? Clearly, Christina is none too thrilled with her ex’s revelation, but fortunately, these two are no longer working together. Tarek recently announced that he’ll be breaking away from Christina for an as-yet-untitled HGTV show in which he “partners with real estate novices to help them learn the secrets of a successful flip.” “[Christina and I] have been working together so long, and we’re just so intertwined with all our businesses and all our shooting that it’s kind of refreshing to go off on my own now and try some new opportunities,” Tarek told TMZ. As a bonus, he won’t have to spend time around a woman he just royally screwed who has easy access to power tools. View Slideshow: Christina El Moussa Photos: Flip or Flop Hotness!

Kim Kardashian Is Going Back To School … To Become A Lawyer

Kim Kardashian West has finally figured out what she wants to be when she grows up.  At the age of 38 and with three kids at home, the reality star is giving us a MAJOR plot twist. And by major — I mean Kim just actually declared one. During a cover interview for this month’s Vogue issue, Kim opened up about a surprising life announcement … she’s becoming a lawyer.  Legit. She will actually be opening up a book and studying to become a lawyer.  The soon-to-be mother of four said she decided last summer to begin a four-year apprenticeship with a law firm in San Francisco, with the goal of taking the bar in 2022.  The exam that is so notoriously hard — especially in the state of California, where it spans three days — even Hilary Clinton failed it the first time around. Of course, she obviously went on to still have an extremely successful legal career — so I guess anything is possible for the reality star.  “I had to think long and hard about this,” Kim said.  The choice came from the combination of “seeing a really good result” with Alice Marie Johnson’s case while simultaneously feeling like she needed to do more. “I never in a million years thought we would get to the point of getting laws passed,” she says. “That was really a turning point for me.” Still, she knew her celebrity superpowers weren’t enough and she needed more, hence her desire to educate herself.  “The White House called me to advise me to help change the system of clemency, and I’m sitting in the Roosevelt Room with, like, a judge who had sentence criminals and a lot of really powerful people,” she explained.  “And I just sat there, like, Oh, shit. I need to know more.” Kardashian West, 38, has been working with author and CNN commentator Van Jones and attorney Jessica Jackson for months, visiting prisons, petitioning governors, and attending meetings at the White House.  Husband Kanye West already has his foot in the door there anyway — so why not!  “I would say what I had to say, about the human side and why this is so unfair. But I had attorneys with me who could back that up with all the facts of the case,” she explained.  “It’s never one person who gets things done; it’s always a collective of people and I’ve always known my role, but I just feel like I wanted to be able to fight for people who have paid their dues to society.” “I just felt like the system could be so different, and I wanted to fight to fix it, and if I knew more, I could do more,” she reasoned.  The reality star also revealed that she’s had a long interest in the subject thanks to her late father, Robert Kardashian. Robert was a businessman and attorney, who became a household name while helping defend friend O.J. Simpson in his infamous 1994 murder trial.  “On the weekend they used our home as an office, with Johnnie Cochran and Bob Shapiro,” the middle Kardashian child recalls.  “My dad had a library, and when you pushed on this wall there was this whole hidden closet room, with all of his O.J. evidence books. “On weekends I would always snoop and look through. I was really nosy about the forensics.” Ok, well hopefully Kim can at least learn in law school that evidence is not to be tampered with.  Luckily for Kim, considering she never finished college, California offers another path to passing the bar by “reading the law” or apprenticing with a practicing lawyer or judge. And according to Vogue , sometime this summer she will be taking what is known as the “baby bar” administered by the state; if she passes, she will be given the okay to continue for three more years of study.  “The reading is what really gets me,” she admits.  “It’s so time-consuming. The concepts I grasp in two seconds.” And when asked about the negative feedback she will inevitably face? “I don’t pay attention to that anymore,” she says.  “I love to be put in a situation where I can have a conversation with someone who might not be inclined to think much of me because I can guarantee they will have a different opinion and understand what’s important to me after they’ve met me.” She also has full support from her popular family members!  Kourtney Kardashian, 39, tells Vogue she thinks her sister is definitely lawyerly. “She seems to have all the answers or something like she just kind of knows,”  Kourt says. Momager Kris Jenner is on the same page as us, admitting that she “did not see this one coming.” “What didn’t surprise me was the way she embraced Miss Alice and how she was so hopeful for that outcome,” she adds. “When you find something that you’re just that passionate about, it’s not difficult; you don’t have to think about it — it just happens.” I guess we will see how difficult it proves to be this summer. While we certainly do not object to Kim furthering her education and would love to see her use her fame for something more charitable, we will be shocked if law school pans out for this socialite.  But In the wise words of Elle Woods, “You must always have faith in people, and most importantly, you must always have faith in yourself!”  View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Reveals What Kanye Paid Her $1 Million NOT to Do

Jake Paul to Chris Brown: Fight Me, You P–sy!

These days, it’s extremely rare to encounter a news story that puts a smile on your face and a spring in your step. So it’s in that spirit that we present you the following joyous development: It seems two of the worst people in America are extremely eager to beat the hell out of one another. If you have young children in your home, you might know Jake Paul as the creator of some of the most obnoxious videos ever uploaded to YouTube, which is really, really saying something. Otherwise, you probably know him as the brother of Logan Paul, the douche bag who featured a suicide victim’s body in one of his equally stupid “comedy” clips. And no matter what your age, you almost certainly know Chris Brown as a strong candidate for the worst person currently drawing breath. Brown is best known for beating up Rihanna , but on rare occasions, he’s been known to get violent with members of his own gender as well. And it seems Paul would like to seize on Brown’s well-known love of punching things by boosting his public profile with a celebrity boxing match. Paul has boxed fellow YouTube personalities in the past, but it appears he’s eager to move up to the world of actual celebrities, And he’s got his sights set on the world’s most despised singer. Following his most recent fight against someone named Deji, Paul issued a challenge to Brown: “I want to call someone out,” Paul said to whatever kind of press covers a boxing match between two YouTubers. “Chris Brown, I know you were supposed to fight Soulja Boy. But I think it is time you got in the ring with someone your own size.” But that was back in August, and sadly, Breezy has yet to respond to the challenge. Paul took the opportunity to double-down last night while attending the premiere of a music video for someone named Justin Roberts. (Are we just getting old, or are none of these people actually famous?) “He’s soft man,” Paul told Hollywood Life when asked about the possibility of a fight with Brown. “He’s not ready for the smoke. I’m sorry.” Frankly, we feel rather conflicted about this whole story. In all likelihood, a sociopath like Paul has no strong feelings about Brown or his repugnant actions, and this whole thing is just his way of trying to make the leap from YouTuber to actual celebrity. It’s revolting to watch — and yet, we really want to see someone pummel Chris Brown, and Paul is significantly younger and appears to be in much better shape. We suppose the best case scenario is that these two run into each other in and beat the crap out of each other with no witnesses. Sure, that seems unlikely, but it’s important to have dreams in life, right? View Slideshow: 29 Pics of Chris Brown Thuggin’ It So Hard: What a Goon!

Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson is an Immature Narcissist!

Tristan Thompson is garbage. Absolute garbage. We know it, you know it, Khloe Kardashian has finally been acknowledging it . At this point, it’s just a fact. Tristan’s problem — well, he probably has several, but we mostly just hear about this one — is that he refuses to keep in his pants, ever. His ex, Jordan Craig, was pregnant with his child when he began dating Khloe, so that was the first sign that perhaps he should reevaluate his actions. The second was when he got Khloe pregnant and proceeded to step out on her on at least two separate occasions. And the third, of course, was when he hooked up with Jordyn Woods , a close friend of the entire Kardashian family. It’s just silly, isn’t it? If he wants to sleep around, that’s fine, but he shouldn’t get into serious relationships and have children if his goal is to get with as many ladies as he possibly can. That’s just being a decent human being — not even decent, really, more like “not the worst.” But that’s Tristan’s thing, and it doesn’t look like he’s changing anytime soon . And judging by Khloe’s latest Instagram posts, she’s still 100% over it. Yep, our girl is once again sharing those relationship quotes that are obviously directed at her situation with Tristan . It’s probably her number one hobby these days. One she shared a few days ago read “Being in love in this generation is terrifying. Loyalty is so rare, and people are so quick to choose a good time over a good thing.” She also posted a “Law of Attraction,” which went like this: Oh, you’re a Narcissist, well I’m going to introduce you to an Empath to humble you so you’ll know what it’s like to value, respect and love someone other than yourself. So you’re an Empath, well I’m going to surround you with narcissists so you can toughen up, realize your ego and learn to value yourself more than you value others. Yesterday, her chosen quote was “You will always find love draining if you date people you have to raise.” It’s easy to imagine that all these are about Tristan, right? And also Khloe’s smart enough to realize that everyone’s going to think that these are about Tristan, so the fact that she posted them anyway is basically confirmation. So judging from all of this, we can gather that she believes Tristan isn’t loyal, which isn’t an opinion so much as it is a fact that he’s proven time and time again. More interestingly, it looks like she thinks he’s a narcissist who doesn’t value, respect, or love anyone other than himself. If anyone would know that, she would, so we’ll just have to trust her opinion. That last quote about love being draining if you have to raise your partner also makes sense, since it’s always kind of been her thing. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian: Tristan Thompson CONFESSED to Banging Jordyn Woods! (And It Was All Caught on Camera?!) If we’re to believe all of these statements have to do with Tristan, then he’s an immature narcissist who isn’t loyal and who needs to learn some humility. Sounds about right.

NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey: BOTH Fired by Bravo?!?

Can you believe that Season 11 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is already winding down to a close? What changes will Season 12 bring? Given the way that  NeNe Leakes and Cynthia Bailey have clashed , viewers know that things between them have become untenable. Is Bravo going to clear the air by firing both NeNe  and  Cynthia? Who could possibly replace them? RadarOnline   reports that everyone involved is very conscious of this fierce new feud. Ultimately, it will just be in the hands of Bravo execs — but producers already know what they’re not going to do. “NeNe is coming back,” an insider assures. “She’s had a rough season,” the source acknowledges. “But,” the insider affirms. “She is the one that Bravo wants.” NeNe has had a lot to deal with, including Gregg Leakes’ cancer and her own meltdown that was captured on film. “Unless NeNe decides on her own not to do the show,” the source begins. The insider continues: “they will have her back.” “And,” the source teases, Bravo will even “give her a raise.” She already raked in $2.75  million  actual dollars for Season 11. But while NeNe’s place remains secure, the report cannot say the same for her former friend. “Execs are still considering firing Cynthia,” the insider reveals. That would be a significant shake-up to the cast. If they do go that route, they already know who will fill the void created by Cynthia’s departure. The source announces that execs would follow by  “bringing Marlo [Hampton] on full time.” “She could get married and have a baby,” the insider suggests. Speaking of execs, the source notes: “and they would like that.” But storyline potential — and it really is just  potential  at this point — isn’t all that Marlo has going for her as a potential Full Housewife. “She stirs the pot,” the insider observes. “She’s fun,” the source characterizes. “And makes for great TV.” There’s one person who definitely won’t return to the show’s roster, no matter how many fans she has. “The executives hate Kenya still,” the insider reveals. Hate ?! Hate is a strong word. “And they know that she was trying to capitalize on her free appearance for publicity when she showed up at Cynthia’s party,” the source says. Well … yeah. The insider concludes: “Kenya is definitely never, ever, ever coming back.” This report contains what may be some extremely good news for NeNe Leakes. A continued role on the show and a raise? That’s the dream. But we must stress that the contents of this report have yet to be confirmed. This could be the opinion of someone who works on the show’s production. That’s a far cry from an official announcement. And even if this report is true, it’s no guarantee that Cynthia Bailey is losing her peach. If she stays on the show, you can be sure that she’ll stir up added drama in Season 12 to keep her place secure. It’s the smart move to make.

Lori Loughlin is Almost Definitely Going to Jail

A day after Felcity Huffman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, we have an update on the other big name associated with this recent college admissions scandal. What does the future hold for Lori Loughlin? According to TMZ insiders, it will almost definitely include the inside of a prison cell. This typically-reliable website reports that Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli have been offered a plea deal. Prosecutors are fine with the couple not going to trial, but they are decidely NOT fine with the stars agreeing to any sort of arrangement that doesn’t include time behind bars. As previously reported, these lawyers are intent on making an example out of the wealthy defendents who were arrested back on March 12 for allegedly scheming and bribing their kids’ way into college. In Loughlin’s case, prosecutors are offering her a plea bargain that involves a minimum of two years in jail. And here’s the thing: if these federal attorneys are offering prison time as a plea , and Loughlin turns it down, one has to imagine that they will only seek even more years in the clink if Loughlin turns it down.  No word yet on whether the Fuller House actress is willing to agree to such terms. Huffman, meanwhile, will be sentenced at a later date for her guilty plea… … but prosecutors have only recommended around four months in jail for this actress, with a judge eventually having the final say on her punishment. Why the stark difference between Loughlin’s potential sentencing and that of Huffman? It’s simply a matter of degrees. Felicity has admitted to paying $15,000 to someone who helped arrange extra time for her daughter to take the SAT; along with a proctor actually going in and changing the teenager’s test score. Terrible and illegal, for sure. However, Loughlin and her husband are accused of shelling out $500,000 for an even crazier and ridiculous scheme: They supposedly used this money to bribe officials at the University of Southern California, working with an employee at the school to pretend that their two daughters were athletic recruits who were on the crew team in high school. This was simply not the case, however. By using her wealth and status to get her children on an athletic recruit list, though, Loughlin was able to lower their admission standards and – presto! – they were granted entry to USC. Based on video evidence, meanwhile, it doesn’t appear as if Loughlin had any regrets about taking this action. It’s also clear that Loughlin’s daughter, Olivia Jade , knew all about the scheme — considering the willingly posed in a fake crew uniform in order to pass herself off as a recruit. In a statement released yesterday, however, Huffman swears her child was in the dark. This is what she said after pleading guilty: I am in full acceptance of my guilt, and with deep regret and shame over what I have done, I accept full responsibility for my actions and will accept the consequences that stem from those actions. I am ashamed of the pain I have caused my daughter, my family, my friends, my colleagues and the educational community. My daughter knew absolutely nothing about my actions, and in my misguided and profoundly wrong way, I have betrayed her. This transgression toward her and the public I will carry for the rest of my life. My desire to help my daughter is no excuse to break the law or engage in dishonesty.

David Eason Claims He’s a Victim of Discrimination, Gets Ripped to Shreds

So David Eason is the worst, right? He’s proved that many times. Like, just so many times. He started dating Jenelle Evans over three years ago, and since then … well, things have been going steadily downhill for her. At first, he was controlling, then he started saying cruel things to her children, then he cut her off from everyone else in her life. Things just progressed from there, and now Nathan Griffith is trying to get custody of Kaiser because he believes David has been abusing him. Many Teen Mom fans also believe that he’s abusing Jenelle, thanks to that heartbreaking 911 call she made last fall . And, you know, because of everything else we know about him. In addition to all of that, he’s very homophobic, enough that MTV fired him from Teen Mom 2 , and crew members stay away from him completely because of his deep, disturbing love of guns. He has so many negative qualities, it would take forever to list them all. But let’s just keep the big ones in mind when we go into his latest act of nonsense, OK? So as you may recall, David hasn’t been on Instagram for a good few months now — his last post was back in December. He made some posts on Facebook about how he was banned from the app and he wasn’t able to access his account, which made perfect sense. It happened right when the news broke that the Secret Service had showed up to the home he shares with Jenelle to question him about a video he’d posted … on Instagram. David Eason: Check Out My Assault Rifle! The video showed him shooting an assault rifle, and in his caption, he tagged Nancy Pelosi and Donald Trump, so it was seen as a threat. It’s pretty easy to see why Instagram would shut the account down, right? Not for David! David has whined about this ever since it happened, but last week, he finally made a new account. You can find him under the username “bigolhonky,” because of course you can. So far he’s only made a few posts, mostly of the zoo he and Jenelle have been creating down on their swamp, but his latest post is a little different. And no one is here for it. For the photos, he shared some screenshots of what happens when he tries to log onto his old account — it’s just an error page. “Well, there it is,” he explained in the caption, “this is all I can see on my original Insta page.” “I know the underlying issue is not something that I did or posted,” he claimed. “If it was they would have shown me a notification or email, hell I can’t even get a response from anyone about it.” From there, he said “You can’t tell people the truth anymore, they can’t handle the truth.” “Then if you throw reality in their face they shut down and shut you out.” “Why?” he asked, before answering “Because they are living a lie.” “How do they make lies become reality? Hide the truth, censor it and at the same time repeat or repost everything and everyone they agree on.” “This is nothing new, just a new-age way of discriminating,” he concluded. You know how sometimes you read something and you feel dumber for having read it? This is absolutely one of those times. It’s just wild that David actually thinks his account got shut down for no reason, when as we said before, it was shut down within a few days of the Secret Service investigating his Instagram video. How delusional do you have to be to ignore that and just assume that he’s being discriminated against for “telling the truth”? The “truth,” we assume, being all those ignorant, bigoted memes he used to share . Don’t worry though — you know people set him straight in the comments. “Your ‘truth’ isn’t the truth,” one of his followers wrote. “Baby, you are crazy. 1 sandwich short of a picnic basket.” “It seems like YOU can’t handle the truth,” another commented. “It’s just an account, not the end of the world lol.” One person got a bit more aggressive, saying “WHO CARES?! You’re a homophobic piece of sh-t. Nobody is concerned about your account. It’s not a big deal. You got what you deserved. Period.” And another comment really hit the nail on the head with “Imagine being a grown ass man crying over a social media account and getting fired from reality show called teen MOM over a year ago.” This whole thing is just ridiculous, but that’s the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from David. Now that he’s got this new Instagram, we’d have to guess that it’s going to get worse before it gets better. And it’s never, ever going to get better.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Went on F-Bomb Filled Rant, The View Audio Reveals

Years before Meghan McCain was whining at Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck was hosting  The View  with  a touch more homophobia . More than ten years ago, Hasselbeck went on a tirade about Plan B, and Barbara Walters asked her to moderate her tone and be respectful. Hasselbeck stormed off of the set, and we now have the F-bomb filled audio of what Hasselbeck screeched backstage. In August of 2006, Elisabeth Hasselbeck went on a fiery rant about the morning after pill. The morning after pill prevents fertilization, just like wearing a condom or just staying in and binging something on Netflix. But Hasselbeck's concern was that it was “a slippery slope to just eliminating life.” She then launched into a tangent, growing increasingly heated, suggesting people who support universal healthcare but also reproductive autonomy are hypocrites. Barbara Walters still appeared on the show she started at the time, and she urged Hasselbeck to calm down and speak in a civil tone. As  The View  cuts to commercial, Hasselbeck dramatically rips up her notecards and storms off of the stage in a huff. That's not the end of it, though, because  Variety  has unearthed the audio recording from Hasselbeck's backstage hissy fit. In the audio, Hasselbeck can be heard continuing to freak out, while Joy Behar tries to comfort her. “F–k that! I'm not going to sit there and get reprimanded on the air,” Hasselbeck declares repeatedly. “It's not okay to sit there and get reprimanded on the air,” she insists. “What the f–k!” She then suggests that Barbara's words impacted her so much that she's no longer responsible for her own behavior. “I don't even swear,” she claims. “She has me swearing.” “This woman is driving me nuts,” Hasselbeck declares. “I'm not going back. I can't do the show like this.” “She just reprimanded me,” she claims again. “And she knew exactly what she was doing.” “Goodbye!” Hasselbeck says dramatically. “I'm off.” Hilariously, she ends her rant with: “Read about that in the New York f–king Post!” Hasselbeck would, in fact, remain on  The View  for another seven years. That bizarre rant was wild, but Hasselbeck has now posted an apology on Instagram, and it is filled with gems. “This. Just. In: I am quite humanly reactive,” Hasselbeck writes. Humanly reactive  is quite a phrase. She admits: “I used bad words when frustrated.” “I was pregnant with Taylor,” she explains. “And a big conversation about the value and the lives of the unborn took place at the View.” “It was a battle,” she writes. “But not of the flesh.” A battle not of the flesh ? You cannot make this stuff up. “I used fighting words,” Hasselbeck explains. “Because I believe that God decides the value of the lives of babies.” “We care for a group of Robin’s eggs in a nest before they are hatched,” she says. “And,” she adds. “Likely would think twice before stomping on the awesome blue shells because we know what God placed inside the hard womb.” “And in the heat of the moment, when I felt the need to protect what I knew to be truth,” she writes. “And had seen with my own eyes on ultrasound the LIFE in my own shell of a body,” she continues. “I used big battle words.” Using  big battle words  is my new favorite euphemism for swearing. She notes: “(one in particular that I am not proud of and am sorry for using in the heat of trying to defend the lives of the unborn).” “2 things I have grown to learn: 1) there are words that DISTRACT from your point: Choose wisely,” Hasselbeck advises. She adds: “2) I have a God who fights the battle. I don’t have to do that all on my own.” Hasselbeck then goes on to use this controversy to plug her book, of course. “I still hold all my Constitutionally protected rights to freedom of faith,” she then writes. “But now,” Hasselbeck concludes. “I can hold the hand of the person who does not agree at the same time.” We don't want to get too personal here, but we can of course understand someone feeling extremely passionately about their beliefs. Even if a person believes that life begins at the moment of conception, the morning after pill should not be an issue, as it prevents conception. That's why it's not called hte Next Week Pill or the At My Convenience Pill. Time is of the essence. But even though no “unborn human lives” by any definition were involved, it's clear that Hasselbeck for some reason believed that they were. Barbara Walters very gently told her to please moderate her tone out of respect for both cohosts and the audience. It's a shame that she freaked out in the way that she did, but the goofy phrases in her “apology” today make it all worthwhile.
