It's been almost a year since David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2 , and saying he hasn't been missed by viewers would be a massive understatement. Judging from reactions on social media, most TM2 fans are glad to be rid of David, and they wish Jenelle would follow him out the door. Evans, however, remains committed to her goal of forcing MTV to rehire her husband. Needless to say, that campaign is going very poorly so far — especially since Jenelle couldn't have picked a worse time to try and rebuild David's public image. 1. A One-Income Household Jenelle’s motives for trying to strongarm her MTV bosses into rehiring David are quite simple. After all, it’s not like she’s the type to selflessly accept the role of sole breadwinner. 2. Doubling Down Jenelle earns upwards of $300,000 for each season of Teen Mom 2. David was never paid nearly that much, but no doubt his income served as a nice supplement to Jenelle’s. 3. Even Angrier Than Usual Jenelle is currently filming the upcoming season of TM2, and she’s made no secret of the fact that she’s very pissed off by her husband’s continued unemployment. 4. One of Her Famous Rants Jenelle recently bit the hand that feeds her in a major way, unleashing a full-blown social media rant against Teen Mom 2 producers. 5. Boring, Boring, Boring Jenelle informed fans that the show’s new season will be painfully boring, largely due to the absence of Eason. 6. Really Going In It seems Jenelle’s bosses aren’t crazy about her attempts to torpedo ratings, but she’s showing no signs of holding back … View Slideshow
Jenna Cooper and Jordan Kimball’s Bachelor in Paradise cheating scandal didn’t end when they broke up. While Jenna has fired back, saying that she’s a victim of fraud, Jordan has all but accused her of blackmailing him through her attorneys. Now, she is hitting back even harder, and accusing Jordan of having faked the text messages for publicity’s sake. Over the weekend, Us Weekly spoke to Jordan Kimball about this entire situation. “It is what it is,” the model states simply. When it comes to the emails he shared that he clearly viewed as a blackmail attempt , he says: “I said nothing about it.” “The email was sent to me,” Jordan explains. “I got phone calls from the firm.” “It was an attorney representing her,” Jordan says, who told him to publicly exonerate Jenna or the firm would go public with what they know. Jordan says that he’s heard from her attorneys, but that’s about as personal as it gets these days. “I’ve heard nothing back” from Jenna, Jordan says. “And her family stopped — I guess you could say bashing me online.” “They have said nothing,” he says. “She has said nothing. It’s behind us.” “I no longer feel I need to defend myself,” Jordan claims. “It is what it is.” But … is it? Because Jenna released some evidence for the entire world to see. When other Bachelor ladies rallied to Jenna’s defense , Lauren Burnham assured the world that she’d seen proof that Jenna wasn’t a cheater. It’s not that people realistically believe that Reality Steve fabricated text messages out of thin air. Instead, people believe that someone close to Jenna, someone who knew her texting style and phone number, faked them and sent them to him. And Jenna’s electronic devices got a clean bill of health — with an examination that proves she never cheated . “A comprehensive forensic examination of Jenna’s devices by an independent third-party expert, Jenna’s publicist Steve Honig begins. Honig continues: “has definitively confirmed none of the text messages in question came from Jenna’s phone.” “Given the conclusive findings of the forensic report,” Honig says. “Jenna’s team is considering all options available to Jenna relating to the fraudulent texts.” Jenna’s publicist’s statement continues, and begins to paint a troubling picture of her former love. “After the cameras stopped rolling, Jordan’s demeanor toward Jenna changed dramatically,” Honig reveals. “He let it be known there was only room for one celebrity in the relationship,” Honig says. Jordan reportedly made it clear that “he was more successful and famous than her, she would never make as much money as him or amount to anything in life.” “She was belittled and made to feel insignificant and worthless,” Honig says. “He continues to disparage her to this day.” “As painful as this has been for Jenna,” Honig concludes. “She is glad he showed his true colors before they were married and began building a life together.” Protus3 is a Raleigh-based security service to which Jenna turned to prove her innocense. They examined her iPhone, iPad, and iCloud storage. “An analysis of the messages and data ranging from June 11, 2017, through September 18, 2018, on all devices,” the Protus3 report says. The report continues, revealing that the test “did not reveal any of the text messages alleged to be created by Ms. Cooper.” As we mentioned, the analysis would have turned up any messages, even deleted ones, that she sent on any of her devices. Protus3’s analysis also showed that certain keywords showed up in Jenna’s messages to Jordan and in the allegedly fabricated texts that make her look like a cheater. Protus3 just reports as a third party on the contents of the examination, but Jenna’s attorneys have made their theory clear. They believe that Jordan faked the texts and then sent them to Reality Steve with enough details about Jenna to make the texts look authentic. But, as Protus3 notes, screenshots — no matter their source — cannot be authenticated with the level of certainty that comes with screening a device. It’s not clear what they believe was Jordan’s motive. Was he allegedly trying to milk the Bachelor Nation for sympathy that could carry him forward in his reality career? Was he just trying to end their relationship without appearing to the public as “the bad guy?” Or is Jordan just another victim in all of this, and the texts were fabricated by someone else?

Teresa Giudice has broken her silence in regard to her husband’s major, life-altering legal troubles. And she’s done it in uproarious and absurd fashion. Teresa and Joe en route to court in 2014. Both were sentenced to prison for financial fraud. [Getty Images] As you likely know by now, Joe Giudice was ordered to return to Italy last week upon the completion of his ongoing jail stint. The Real Housewives of New Jersey personality is serving time for financial fraud and will be deported in a few months because he never actually became a U.S. citizen. This is a common legal decision in the case of an immigrant who commits a felony. To be frank, it’s just not one you see play out very often for white collar crime. It’s also not one you see play out every often in front of the entire celebrity gossip world; folks who have been invested in Joe and Teresa since they first appeared on Bravo. The reality star couple in simpler, happier times. [Getty Images] In the wake of Joe’s sentencing, there has been plenty of speculation regarding Teresa’s reaction. Is she angry over it? Sad over it? Actually relieved because now she has an excuse to divorce Joe ? We haven’t been able to say for certain because Teresa hasn’t spoken out about the legal ruling. Until now, that is. Sort of. The veteran reality star – who spent close to a year in prison herself for this same bankruptcy-related crime – took to Instagram over the weekend and shared the above meme. It features the Statue of Liberty with her face in her hands, presumably crying over the fate of Joe Giudice. How moving and profound, right? The Statue of Liberty is a symbol of immigration in the United States and Teresa captioned the Instagram image with a series of praying hand emojis. If God is listening, Teresa really wants Him to get involved here. Oldest daughter Gia, meanwhile, has made multiple pleas for her father to get a break here . She thinks Joe is being unfairly targeted because he’s Italian, which, well… it’s a take, we suppose. Gia, who is only 17 and who we do feel horribly for in light of this decision, has also shared the throwback photo above. She has included with it an emotional caption that reads: This is one of my favorite pictures of me and my dad. my father is no threat to society he is one of the most warm hearted people I know, he would never harm a soul. He puts everyone else before himself. Does he, though? Joe and Milania Giudice in 2016, before he began serving a 41-month sentence. [Instagram] Gia continued: I know who my father is and I think many of you do too. My father did his time and learned from his mistakes. Isn’t being in there supposed to make you realize your mistakes so you can become a better person? And that’s exactly what my father did. He hasn’t felt or looked this good since he was in his 30’s. We have so many plans to do as a family when he gets out. I need my father to be here. An undated throwback of Gia and Joe that she recently shared. [Instagram] Gia continued her impassioned plea: My father belongs with us and his entire family. My father came into this country when he was one years old, the United States is the only country he knows, spread the word #bringjoehome. Joe, who has lived in America since he was a child but never obtained American citizenship, will get out of prison this spring. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?! And immigrants can be deported from the United States if they are convicted of “a crime of moral turpitude” or an “aggravated felony,” according to U.S. law. He and Teresa share four kids: daughters Gia, 17, Gabriella, 14, Milania, 13, and Audriana, 9. This absolutely sucks for them.
You probably know Pauly D from his long tenure as arguably Jersey Shore ‘s most charismatic cast member. Pauly provides the much-needed comic relief that balances out the constant high-stakes drama endured by Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Mike Sorrentino. Without Pauly D’s levity and quotable catchphrases, the Sunday sauce of Jersey Shore becomes overwhelmed by the bitter and sour notes that too often dominate his castmates’ storylines. But Pauly is different from the rest of the guidos, and not only in the sense that he’s more apt to make viewers laugh than cringe. Unlike most wildly successful reality stars, Mr. DelVecchio has a legitimate career that he seems to take even more seriously than his TV gig. Yes, as you probably already know Pauly D is a DJ. What you may not have realized, however, is that Pauly brokers absolutely no BS from haters throwing shade at his turntable skills. Pauly recently posted a photo in which he can be seen working the crowd up as the assembled EDM fans dance to his music. One of Pauly’s followers called shenanigans and was promptly put in his place. “Who’s playing??? Dude youre fake,” the hater commented. Always quick with a comeback, Pauly didn’t miss a beat in responding: “Your wife, she takes over the table when I jump on stage,” DelVecchio shot back. “She’s the best.” Or as Pauly himself would put it: Vinny Guadagnino Roasts Angelina Pivarnick “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh! That was a good one.” As for how the rest of the Shore family is holding up since the second installment of Family Vacation wrapped — well, it’s kind of a mixed bag. Jenni Farley is getting divorced from Roger Mathews, a development that’s seriously bummed out viewers, as Roger was a longtime fan favorite. Mike Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months in prison for tax fraud, which actually isn’t as bad as it sounds, when you consider dude was facing two years. And as far as we can tell, Ronnie is back together with Jen Harley, a situation that seems sure to end in disaster. But hey, at least Vinny is still sticking to his carb-free lifestyle. As Pauly himself would say, “Yeah, Keto Guido!” View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?
Last week, we learned the heartbreaking news that Joe Giudice will be deported to Italy after his release from prison. Eldest daughter Gia Giudice is rallying support for her father in the hope that he can win his appeal. And now, so is his younger daughter, 12-year-old Milania. You can read her impassioned plea below. Milania Giudice took to Instagram and shared a pair of throwback photos that she took with her father before his incarceration. “My dad,” Milania begins her captions. She describes Joe Giudice as someone “who is the best dad in the world.” That more or less how you’d expect a man’s 12-year-old daughter to describe him. Milania then writes that he “needs to come home.” Milania’s captions continue as she vows that their family isn’t going to let the court’s deportation order go unchallenged, “We aren’t done fighting, dad,” Milania promises. Joe has 30 days (fewer than that, now) to appeal the court’s ruling. “I can’t believe this is happening,” she admits. As someone who is not even a teenager, Milania was totally unprepared for the horrors that our world has in store for so many families. Joe has already been away from his family for long enough — serving his time for fraud. Until last week, Teresa and her daughters had been looking forward to his release in 2019. It was like the light at the end of the tunnel, when their family would be reunited. Milania admits that she can’t wrap her head around him being away from his family for even longer — this time separated by an ocean instead of bars. “I can’t imagine another day without you,” she writes. Milania vows that the whole family is working to see him returned home when he finishes his stint. “We are gonna do everything we can to fight this daddy!!” she promises. She gushes: “I love you with all my heart buddy.” A few years in prison might seem like a short time for adults, but it’s a huge chunk of Milania’s life that she’s now enduring without her father. This deportation order could make a bad situation even worse. Milania concludes her message with a simple, sad tag. “#heartbroken,” she writes. We can imagine so. While Milania is fortunate to have two parents who love her and to live a privileged existence, she still wants her father in her life. And so do her sisters. As we mentioned, Gia Giudice also sent out a call for support in preventing her father’s deportation. Where Milania speaks from the heart, Gia’s passionate words come with a list of compelling arguments. Significantly, she mentions that Joe was brought to the United States at the age of one by his parents. Deporting him to Italy is deporting him from the only country and only home that he has ever known. Italy is a beautiful country, but that doesn’t mean that a person being shipped there upon release from prison would be the same as sending them home. But Milania makes a very important point — deporting him would fracture his family. View Slideshow: Teresa Giudice: Filing For Divorce Once Joe Gets Deported?!
We have an update on Meghan Markle’s pregnancy. And it may just center on the exact piece of news for which you’ve been clamoring! Earlier today, the world was stopped in its tracks when Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry confirmed that they are expecting their first child . EVER! Social media users had been wondering for weeks whether Markle was pregnant, with most of them convinced this was the case just a day prior to the official announcement, considering the outfit Markle wore to a wedding on Saturday . They can now take pride in being correct for a change, following a Kensington Place statement that reads: Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. The spring of 2019 is pretty vague, of course. The Palace did not reveal whether Markle is due in March… or April… or May… or June. However, an insider now tells Us Weekly that the former Suits actress is about 15 weeks along. Even more specifically, according to this source… “She is due on or around May 2nd.” This would be especially cool because Princess Charlotte, the adorable daughter of Kate Middleton and Prince William, was born on May 2, 2015. They could be birthday buddies!!!!! This may be just one reason why the Palace says Kate and William are “delighted” that Meghan is expecting . Harry and Meghan, who recently kicked off their their first international tour together in Australia, will be staying at Nottingham Cottage when they become a family of three. The cottage was recently renovated. It now includes two nurseries, sources close to the Royal Family have said. This could mean that Markle is pregnant with twins, but it more likely means that she and Harry won’t be finished procreating after their first bundle of joy arrives. If the child-to-be is born on May 2, this would make him or her a Taurus. It would also mean she’d share a birthday not just with Charlotte… but with Dwayne Johnson and David Beckham as well! How amazing would that be?!? Elsewhere, while we wait to see what hateful things Samantha Markle has to say about this blessed development, we can quote Prime Minister Theresa May, who has said the following: “My warmest congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on the happy news they are expecting a baby in the Spring. Wishing them all the best.” We feel the very same way! View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess
In August, Deven Davis, wife of Korn frontman Jonathan Davis, was found dead . This was a tragedy for her family and for her loved ones. Now, her heartbreaking cause of death has been revealed. On August 18, Deven Davis passed away. She was only 39 years old. According to autopsy results obtained by TMZ , the cause of death was five different drugs in her system. The report says that Deven had cocaine, heroin, clonazepam, topiramate, and fluoxetine in her system. Cocaine and heroin are both illegal, and are very different drugs. The others are another matter. Clonazepam is a fairly tame benzodiazepine that can be used to treat anxiety. Topiramate has a few uses, one of the most common to reduce the frequency and intensity of migraine headaches. Flueoxetine is a fairly standard serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Most people know this medication as Prozac. The cause of death was ruled accidental. The medical examiner’s office believes that the lethal combination of drugs was an unintentional tragedy. Jonathan Davis spoke out on Instagram several days after her passing. “Over the last few days,” he wrote at the time. “There has been a lot of speculation over what really happened surrounding the death of my wife, Deven.” He continued: “and I want my voice to be heard.” “Over the past decade, my wife has been very very sick,” he revealed. He explained: “She had a serious mental illness and her addiction was a side effect.” “I loved her with ALL of my being,” Jonathan gushed. “When she was her true self, she was an amazing wife, amazing mother and amazing friend.” “She was full of life and joy, and she would do anything to share that with those around her,” he wrote. Jonathan admitted that he had “tried to hide what was going on.” He shared that he did this “in order to protect her.” “She is the reason I have advocated so hard for those struggling with their mental health,” he explained. “I want her story to inspire people to reach out for help,” Jonathan wrote. “And not to be afraid or hide from their illness.” “If you know someone with a mental illness,” he implored. “Have compassion and empathy, and know that they are not bad people, they are suffering.” Jonathan shared that, as a facet of her illness, the mother of two of his three sons never understood “how sick she really was.” “I’d give anything to have the chance to hold her again,” Jonathan confessed. “I’d give anything for my kids to have their mother back,” he wrote. Jonathan said: “I have comfort in knowing that now she has found freedom from her illness, and she is finally at peace.” “I swear one day I’ll be there with you by your side when my ride here on earth is over,” he concluded. “I love you, Luber.” That is devastating and must have been incredibly difficult to write, especially just days after her tragic passing. We hope that his fans and followers will listen to his heartfelt message. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam
Last week, we reported on the news that Ryan Edwards had checked into rehab after struggling with an opioid addiction for several years. Shortly thereafter, the world learned that Edwards' wife, Mackenzie Standifer, had given birth to a son . Jagger Edwards is the couples' first child together, but sadly, Ryan missed the birth due to his continued treatment. As painful as the thought of missing his son's first weeks on the planet must have been, it was widely assumed that Edwards would remain in treatment in order to ensure that he receives the kind of help he needs. Sadly, it doesn't look like that will be the case … 1. Taking the Right Steps While Edwards was aware that he would miss Jagger’s birth by checking into treatment, it seems he was also aware that his situation required immediate action. 2. Joyous News Fortunately, Mackenzie delivered the baby with no complications. She was accompanied in the delivery room by her mother. 3. Jen and Larry In the House Ryan’s parents, Jen and Larry Edwards, were also in the hospital the day the baby was born. 4. Ryan’s Hope Insiders say the impending arrival of his son helped motivate Ryan to seek help. 5. Plenty of Reasons Of course, the fact that Edwards has been arrested three times in the past 18 months and is very keen on avoiding jail time probably also factored into his decision. 6. Easier Said Than Done Ryan initially planned to remain in treatment for a minimum of three months, but now it seems his plans have changed … View Slideshow
Casey Anthony earned infamy after being acquitted in 2011 for the murder of her young daughter. To the horror of millions, Casey is a free woman, even though this has destroyed her remaining family . And now, a chilling new report says that Casey is thinking about having another child. In Touch reports that, according to a source close to the accused killer, Casey Anthony wants to have another child. “She’s been saying she’s ready to have a new family,” an insider claims. Casey’s last child’s skeletal remains were found with duct tape still on them within a trash bag in the woods near Casey’s house. Despite that, the source says, “she believes she has a bright future.” “And,” most jarringly of all, the insider saays that Casey believes that she “can be a good mom.” In case the current state of the world is not enough nightmare fuel for you, there’s this spine-chilling report. Linda Bills was one of the jurors for Casey Anthony’s infamous murder trial. Speaking to In Touch , the former Juror Number Four admits that she does not like the idea of Casey being in charge of another defenseless child. “We did what we thought was right,” she says of the jury’s bizarre verdict. “[But] it took some time for [the case] to get out of your mind,” Linda admits. She shares that she has been haunted by the details, saying: “it stayed in my mind for a very long time.” Linda Bills says that, in light of how Casey’s daughter died, she is not exactly enamored with the thought of Casey giving the late Caylee a younger sibling. “I really don’t think she should have another child,” Linda admits. Though she could certainly say a lot more, she is reluctant to continue discussing the subject. “That’s all I want to say,” Linda concludes. Some would suggest that any jurors who feel that Casey should not have another child could have made sure of that by voting to convict. At the time, they felt that the state had not met its burden of proof. Back in 2017, Casey herself spoke to the Associated Press. “If I am blessed enough to have another child,” she said, filling readers with dread. Casey then rephrased. “If I’d be dumb enough to bring another kid into this world,” Casey said. “Knowing that there’d be a potential that some little snot-nosed kid would then say something mean to my kid.” So her worst fear is that her child might find out the grisly fate that her other child met. “I don’t think I could live with that,” Casey said with no hint of irony. In 2017, Casey warned In Touch that she doesn’t intend to remain hidden from the world forever. “Eventually people will be seeing more of me,” Casey announced. Returning to public life could very well mean having a child, as scary as that sounds. “I am not hiding from something I did not do,” Casey declared. That is a statement on which most people can agree, if not in the sense that Casey means. Of course, if you believe that she murdered Caylee, then you believe that she is hiding from something she did do. Ultimately, people may have to accept that, like O.J. Simpson and so many members of the current government, Casey may remain free. No matter what vicious crimes people feel extreme certainty that she committed, twelve random people decided that she gets to live her life. Maybe that’s the way that it should be. Or maybe that’s an indictment of our entire messy, deeply flawed “justice” system. We’ll just hope that the report that she’s considering bringing another child into the world is from a misinformed source. The alternative would keep too many people up at night.

A man attempting to auction off his girlfriend on the internet sounds like a horror story, but this man did it as a joke — and she laughed, too. But they were both absolutely shocked when bids and lews messages poured in. And they were shocked again when the bid reached over $119,000 in 24 hours. Whoops . Dale Leeks is a London resident. He decided to play a cheeky prank on his girlfriend, 37-year-old Kelly Greaves. The two had been dating for a year, and he took to eBay to, in jest, put her up for auction. He included her photo and a joking description of why he wanted to trade her in, for parts or for a “newer model.” Though we would never, ever suggest that anyone do this, Kelly was apparently amused when Dale told her. Dale wrote that Kelly “starts OK but after that there’s a constant whining noise that I can’t seem to stop.” “Bodywork is fairly tidy but close up shows signs of wear,” he joked on the eBay ad. “No serious damage,” he continued. “But you can see that she’s been used.” “Please [bear] in mind when bidding she’s 37 years old,” Dale jokingly plead with prospective buyers. At the time, he had no idea that anyone but Kelly herself would see it. In general, the fake auction ad was basically just a roast of his girlfriend. Again, we don’t recommend trying this out for yourself. “Basically first thing in the morning she can be very temperamental,” Dale warned. He wrote that “once warmed up the whining noise lessens but I would be lying if I said it goes away completely.” “The rear end leaks a bit but nothing that can’t be plugged,” he joked. “Any offers considered,” he concluded, adding that he “would be interested in a part exchange with a younger model. Sold as seen, no returns.” It was only after Dale and Kelly went to dinner that evening that his phone began to go “crazy’ with notifications. The listing was generating a lot of attention. Some of that attention came in the form of very lewd messages. But there were also bids, and those bids began to go up and up and up. In the end, the listing was seen over 81,000 times, and bids reached the equivalent of about $119,000. Fortunately, human trafficking is illegal, so it’s not like Kelly was going to have to pack her bags. In fact, the listing was removed by eBay after 24 hours — because the site has a policy against the sale of human body parts or remains. While Dale and Kelly had a good laugh about it, we strongly advice against this. Placing a woman’s picture on the internet without her consent in advance can put her in danger or attract unwanted attention. Besides, roasting your girlfriend while pretending to auction her off might not go over well with every girlfriend. We’re glad that Dale and Kelly were able to laugh about this, even though we’re seriously wondering (no offense to Kelly) how in the world the bids got so high.
