Leah Messer is tired of the bull snot. Seriously, she says as much in this sneak peek for next week's episode of Teen Mom 2. She's tired of the bull snot — Jeremy Calvert's bull snot, to be specific. In the clip, Leah is hanging out with her grandmother on a porch, like you do. But it's not a carefree grandma hang sesh because Jeremy is getting on her nerves . As she explains to Grandma Sandy, Jeremy is home from his job for the week, and she assumed he'd want to spend some time with their daughter. “He was supposed to meet me before noon and now he's changing it to 2:30,” she complains in the clip below. “It's unfair to our child.” Granny doesn't hold back, as Grannys often don't. Advising her to tell Jeremy that he can either get with the program and be more involved in the kid's life or else she'll raise her alone, she does not mince words. Leah's a little hesitant to go that far — probably because she realizes that Jeremy isn't that bad — but ol' Granny is firm. “You can't chase down a dead beat dad,” she tells Leah, and sadly, she's probably not the only one having that very thought. So does Leah's grandmother have a point? Is Jeremy really a dead beat dad? Should Leah give up on hopes of co-parenting with him and just stop fighting this fight? Check out Leah's predicament in the video:
Feel like you need a little bit of light in your life? Like you just need a moment to focus on something happy instead of the nasty, smelly garbage fire that is our world today? Then look no further than this incredible little pregnancy announcement: That’s Amanda Diesen and Todd Krieg, a very happy couple — and they’re extra happy now that they’re expecting their first child! The message, that cheeky little “It still works!”, came about because Todd was paralyzed from the chest down after a dirt bike accident a few years ago, and they didn’t think they’d be able to have children without medical intervention. “We thought we’d need to look into devices or doctor visits or maybe even IVF,” Amanda explained in an interview with People. “We definitely didn’t think it would be able to happen naturally!” She continued the explanation with “It’s totally different for anyone with a spinal cord injury. Todd does not feel it when stuff is going on, but is occasionally able to reach climax.” These two crazy kids met in 2015 when Todd visited a paralysis center in California. Amanda worked there as a recovery specialist, and for her, it was love at first sight. “I was first drawn to Todd’s good looks!” she recalled. “I thought he was a total babe.” “I’m also drawn to his sense of humor, and ability to put on a happy face despite the struggles and huge life-changing event he has endured.” Amazing, right? But Amanda isn’t done with her sweet words yet, not by a long shot. “I think that loving someone in Todd’s situation takes a bit more patience and a servant heart,” she said, but if you truly love someone it won’t be any different than if he were up and walking.” “Of course, it’s tough on me sometimes, not being able to stand up and get a hug from the person I love most, or to be able to walk around in public holding hands or go running on the beach together.” “But honestly, the love that Todd and I have for each other is something I wouldn’t trade for the world.” She explained that Todd is “in physical and mental pain every single day” because of his paralysis, and that sometimes it bothers him that she’s able to do things around the house more easily than he can.

And on Valentine’s Day , they discovered that they’re having a little boy. Best wishes to this precious couple!
As previously detailed, Nick Cannon recently walked away from his main job. The entertainer quit as America’s Got Talent host because he was angry at producers for the way they reacted to a joke in his stand-up special this month. On stage, Cannon quipped that this gig was great and all… but it did make him worried that someone might take away his “black card” due to the cheesy nature of the NBC reality show. According to Cannon, executives actually thought about firing him for the remark, which led him to resign his post instead. In a lengthy Instagram message explaining his decision, Cannon wrote the following: “I find myself in a dark place having to make a decision that I wish I didn’t have to, but as a man, an artist, and a voice for my community I will not be silenced, controlled or treated like a piece of property.” He went on to castigate “The System,” adding: “There is no amount of money worth my dignity or my integrity.” Sounds pretty admirable, right? The guy left a very well-paying job in order to stand up for his honor. And yet some folks close to Cannon are concerned that the star isn’t strong-willed, he’s just falling off his mental rocker. Shortly after quitting America’s Got Talent, Cannon fired his longtime advisers, including ID-PR publicist Alla Plotkin and ICM Partners agent Chris Smith. Moreover, sources tell The New York Post that Cannon has recently “got really into religion,” donning robes and a turban and sometimes referring to himself as “Rev. Dr. Cannon.” It’s not unusual to find religion later in life, but this Page Six report says Cannon “isn’t attached to a specific religion so much as a general spirituality.” Which still doesn’t seem like a reason to think someone is going insane. However, Cannon – who recently spent several weeks in a hospital for complications related to lupus — spent last weekend posting on social media about depression and pain. To wit: That’s a whole different story. With an influx of memes such as the one above scattered throughout his Instagram page, we can understand why some folks are worried. Cannon’s manager has not responded to The New York Post after it tried to get in contact with him. But Cannon himself seems to be aware of this chatter. He shared the following quote by John Lennon on his social page this week: I think our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends. I think they’re all insane. But I am liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That’s what is insane about it. Don’t you agree? We guess? We guess we agree? Or maybe we agree with friends who think he is kind of nuts now? What do you think?

So at this point, it's very single day that Donald Trump, his administration, and/or his family do something awful, right? He's only been president for a few weeks now, but it feels like a few eternities, at least. For the latest act of absurdity, Ivanka Trump has shared a picture of herself sitting at the desk in the Oval Office while her father and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stand beside her. “A great discussion with two world leaders about the importance of women having a seat at the table!” — that's what she actually wrote for the caption. Ivanka isn't an elected official, and she doesn't even have an official title on Trump's staff. But yeah, sure, she's in on meetings with other leaders and can sit at that desk. Why not, right? But we don't need to tell you why that is ridiculous. Because Twitter as a whole came together to break it down for us all. 1. The Offending Photo Try not to roll your eyes too hard, we’ve still got a lot of stuff to get through and you need to be here for it. 2. The Cold, Hard Truth I mean, this person’s not wrong. 3. #FactsOnly For real though, why was she even there? 4. Stay Home, Ivanka Doesn’t she have a job? A life? Literally anything else to do? 5. Solid Nordstroms Burn Ha ha, get it, because no one wants her stupid fashion line and her father and his staff has been trying to sell it? 6. Also True Hey, when you’re right, you’re right.

By now you’ve heard The Bachelor spoilers : Rachel Lindsay is The Bachelorette, despite still being in contention for Nick Viall’s heart. On TV, that is. She’s been eliminated by this point, as filming has concluded. We’re just learning about it ahead of time … from ABC. Therein lies the true “historic” nature of this announcement. Yes, Rachel Lindsay is the first African-American lead in 34 seasons of the reality franchise. That is significant and a very good thing. Giving away the fact that Rachel, a popular contestant this season, is not The Bachelor winner is a surprising and controversial decision. Rachel is still competing on the show, and will go on a hometown date (as will Corinne Olympios, Raven Gates and Vanessa Grimaldi). You can follow the links above to find out, but the assumption that Nick eliminates her after the hometown date isn’t necessarily true. It wouldn’t make a lot of sense if she made the finale now, but she could easily make it to the subsequent overnights following hometowns. For obvious reasons, the next star of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette has never been announced during the current season they’re on. As a result, Chris Harrison has apologized for this spoiler … one most likely necessitated or inspired by The Bachelor spoilers themselves. The third- or fourth-place finisher going on to be the next lead of the franchise is not abnormal. Finding out about it right now definitely is. If you’re hoping for a detailed, truthful answer to why the show’s brain trust went this route, you’re not gonna get it this week, anyway. “I hate that anything was ruined for #BachelorNation but I’m incredibly excited that @therachlindsay is our new #Bachelorette,” Harrison wrote. Notably absent? Any explanation of why. Entertainment Tonight reports that The Bachelorette will begin production sooner than usual, right after Nick’s season wraps on March 13. Producers need to start the process of casting suitors for Lindsay as soon as possible, and need additional time to generate interest? The producers did do this with Emily Maynard, who wasn’t on The Bachelor that season, as a means of getting applicants / fans excited. Perhaps the fact that Rachel has less of a social media presence than Corinne, Raven or others played a role in their decision to spill? Or, maybe it’s as simple as Chris, Mike Fleiss and their associates wanting to get ahead of the story and control it from the beginning. Every season, it’s spoiled. Just not by them. Rachel Lindsay has a fan base, one that is likely to grow in the period between the announcement and when she’s eliminated by Nick. Now that we know she’s The Bachelorette , the producers can craft what we see on and off the show accordingly to boost her popularity. Moreover, it avoids any disappointment by Bachelor fans who might be hoping for Raven or Vanessa to get the job (or Corinne, LOL). Dragging it out increases the possibility of spoilers, rumors and confusion taking away from Rachel’s announcement tour. No longer. As for whether the viewing audience will accept a black Bachelorette , and rumors that this had something to do with the early unveiling? We don’t see it. View Slideshow: Rachel Lindsay: The Bachelorette! This is a show that has survived since the early 2000s because of its format, not necessarily based on the strength of any one lead. Some leads are more controversial than others (Nick). Others (cough, Juan Pablo Galavis) have even gone onto be universally despised. Still, The Bachelor and Bachelorette soldier on, and by and large, the biggest stars of both genders are more popular with fans than not. Rachel will be no exception. As Harrison put it, she’s “a smart, strong, independent Texan who loves her @dallascowboys. What more could a man want?” Get to know her more via the gallery below and tell us what you think of ABC’s decision to cast her – and do so in unorthodox fashion … View Slideshow: Rachel Lindsay: Get to Know The Bachelorette!
So far, The Bachelor spoilers have been deadly accurate. In terms of which women advance each week, and other details, just spot on. Will that trend continue Monday night? For The Bachelor star Nick Viall, it's coming down to the wire, with only six women left headed into this week, and just four roses to give. Just four weeks remain before The Bachelor winner is revealed, but we're now just hours away from learning Nick Viall's final four officially. By the end of the episode, The Bachelor Season 21 Episode 7 to be exact, Nick will reveal who he'll be going on a a hometown date with. Obviously, to make it this far in the process, all six of the women have built up a real connection with the 36-year-old franchise staple. With Corinne Olympios and Vanessa Grimaldi looking like the favorites to make the finale right now, that leaves four women and two roses. (Of course, that doesn't mean Corinne or Vanessa won't be eliminated either … we're just basing that on spoilers, and on the obvious.) Basically, it would be near impossible to see either one getting the axe before a hometown date. Some of the remaining others, though? Over the course of the interminable two-hour installment on ABC, three lucky women reportedly score a one-on-one date with Nick tonight. Those ladies are Rachel Lindsay Danielle M., and Vanessa. That gives them a huge leg up on the competition, while Corinne, Kristina and Raven Gates must battle it out on one final group date. From what we're hearing, one elimination will take place during the group date, while one woman's one-on-one date will be her last. Will The Bachelor spoilers be proven right as usual? Time, and rose ceremonies in the Bahamas, in the girls’ hometowns, and in Finland (overnight dates plus final rose ceremony) will tell. You can bet there will be twists, turns and drama, though, from Nick questioning the process itself to the women growing more desperate. Just how desperate are they willing to get here? Check out the promo below to see the lengths one woman will go to in crunch time in order to make sure she gets to bring Nick home. You'll never guess who, or what she does. Never.

Did the ladies manage to put their differences aside for one day? That was put to the question on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 13 when they went on a camping trip. Watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 9 Episode 13 Online When the episode got underway, the ladies continued to question whether it would be a good idea to go get hotels. They did not want to sleep in tents. Sheree Whitfield wasted no time in getting the drama started and asked Marlo about which member of the group could be sleeping with ladies. Marlo knew straight away who she was referring to and told her to just as Kandi Burruss about it. Sheree, however, felt like it was not a good time to be asking about it. Instead, she revealed to the camera that she wanted it out in the open quickly. “I’ve been biting my tongue and holding this in the entire time,” she revealed. Yes, viewers at home have been waiting for you to reveal it, too. The drama continued when the ladies put up their tents. They gathered around the campfire and Marlo called Kenya out for not inviting her to the housewarming party. “I already apologized multiple times,” Kenya said, but Marlo was not letting it go. “You’re so miserable. Your earrings are a disaster,” Marlo said. She then decided to diss Kenya’s appearance some more by taking aim at her false eyelashes. However, the most shocking diss came in the form of Marlo trashing Kenya for not having a relationship with her mother. “If a person’s mother don’t want to be bothered with them,” she began as she looked at Kenya. “That’s how you know she’s evil.” The other ladies finally stepped in and agreed that her comments were below the belt. Phaedra tried to keep the peace by telling the ladies they were on break and should be getting along. She even went as far as saying they should do activities to fix things. The next morning, the ladies were chatting about divorce. Phaedra noted that her divorce to Apollo Nida was almost complete. Kandi butted in, saying that she heard a divorce can go through quicker when one spouse is in jail, but Phaedra was annoyed about her butting in. Cynthia revealed her divorce was almost over with. “It makes me feel sad that Peter doesn’t want to be at the divorce settlement signing,” she revealed. Some time later, the ladies went to dinner and Kenya decided it was best to put her feud with Marlo aside. “I was very upset that I had hurt you, and I apologize,” Kenya began. “Your apology is accepted, and I apologize for some of the mean things I said last night,” Marlo replied. “But I will proceed with caution,” she added. While Marlo’s feud with Kenya was over, she then started a new feud with Kandi. “I’ve just been hearing things. I want to know. Kandi, are you a lesbian?” she asked. Kandi flipped out, demanding to know who was telling her the details. When the previous conversation was rehashed, Porsha was put in the hot seat. “So you’re saying that I was insinuating that she was a lesbian, but I didn’t say that she was a lesbian,” she barked. Kandi then dropped the bomb that she had tried sleeping with women. “Yes, I have tried it. Yes, I have! But believe me, I’m not the only one at this table who has.” Kandi meant these words for Porsha. “You don’t know anything about what I have done!” Porsha snapped.
