Mackenzie McKee Returns to Teen Mom, Thinks Husband is a Cheater

… and she’s back! On Monday night’s brand new episode of Teen Mom OG,  Mackenzie McKee made her return to the franchise that made her semi-famous all those years ago as a cast member on Teen Mom 3. And she wasted no time stirring up the sort of controversy that Bristol Palin, who McKee has basically replaced, could never bring to the series table. After filling viewers in on the major changes in her life — such as her relationship troubles with husband Josh and the health status of her mother, Angie Douthit, who has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer — Mackenzie jumped right back into the swing of things. By which we mean the following: She accused Josh of cheating! McKee explained on air how she’s struggling to keep up with her children while they were home for the summer. Moreover, since rodeo season was approaching (meaning Josh will be on the road for long stretches of time), the reality star was unsure how to handle all these kids and keep up with work. And then the real drama kicked in… After Josh left to compete in a rodeo, Mackenzie received a text from a woman who alleged that her husband went out to a bar and cheated on her — and Josh was with him at the time. Because their romance had been solid for awhile, Mackenzie had no idea how to react to this claim. But she chose to be direct. When Josh arrived home, she grilled him about this supposed night out without her. What happened? Did he cheat on her?!? “There was no affection or anything like that there,” he said. “I’m just here to tell you that I was at a bar, and I’d like you to trust me when I’m getting a few drinks at a bar . . . I was just avoiding the fight, and I was wrong.” Josh tried to reassure his concerned wife that he’d never go behind her back by being with another woman — but McKee didn’t seem convinced, especially once Josh said he couldn’t promise he’d always tell her where he was going. (Editor’s Note: What the heck, dude?!?) Fromt here, Mackenzie went to see her parents to discuss the situation, getting an update from her mom in the process. It turns out that doctors wanted to start Angie on a new type of chemo, yet she wasn’t sure she wanted to go through with it. Why the heck not?!? “I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that only God can heal me,” Angie said, continuing as follows: “The only reason I’m continuing with all these treatments is, yes, I want to live, but it’s for you guys. I don’t want you to think, ‘Mom gave up. Mom quit. Mom stopped.’ I’m not gonna do that.” We really can’t imagine going through anything like this. “I just want to see you get better. That’s all I want, and if it doesn’t happen I’m gonna get really mad,” Mackenzie said through tears. She added: “It’s like all my siblings were this perfect cup of glass and I was a cup of glass that was shattered, and you were the glue that was holding it all together. When that glue melts, I don’t know what I’m going to do.” View Slideshow: The Teen Mom Empire: Here’s Every Spinoff From MTV’s Biggest Franchise! Quite the debut of Mackenzie McKee, huh?

Ashley Martson: I Don’t Give AF if Jay Gets Deported! Boy Bye!!

Jay Smith spent almost all of the month of July behind bars in ICE custody. He would still be there — had his boss not bailed him out in a stunning display of generosity. Now, Jay's ex-wife, Ashley Martson, is weighing in on Jay's arrest. (The arrest happened because he violated the Protection From Abuse order that she took out on him, after all) Ashley reveals that Jay's cheating goes above and beyond what's already public knowledge. She also says that his deportation is pretty much inevitable — and that she doesn't give a flying flip so long as he's out of her life. 1. Ashley is speaking out After Jay was arrested, spent weeks in ICE custody, and then got bailed out by his boss, Ashley is weighing in — and spilling everything she knows about his cheating. There was more of it than fans had realized. 2. She says Jay needed no help getting himself arrested Speaking to In Touch Weekly, Ashley explains: “It said right on the front, like you can’t discuss Ashley or this PFA on social media. And he did.” 3. Yep If you’re not allowed to discuss something, putting it in your Instagram Stories isn’t the best move. 4. But Jay was going to jail regardless “I did know they were coming on,” Ashley reveals. “It was on a Thursday. So they were coming on Monday to detain him because he was there illegally.” 5. Jay only hastened the inevitable “The PFA and the violation just got him arrested basically two days earlier than what he would have been,” Ashley adds. 6. Won’t part of her miss him when he’s gone? “Honestly, I don’t really care if he’s deported,” Ashley admits. It sounds like she’s experienced a lot of personal growth this year. A few months ago, she’d have been torn up at the idea. View Slideshow

Ryan Edwards: High AF in New Family Photos?

OK, so Ryan Edwards … Look, there's just always so much to discuss when it comes to this guy, you know? There's the drug addiction, all the arrests, his troubled relationship with ex Maci Bookout and her family, his weird relationship with his own family, all the ins and outs of his marriage with Mackenzie Standifer … Yeah, it's a lot. But today, we're just going to try to focus on a couple of those categories, namely his relationship with his family and the drug stuff. Because there are several new photos of Ryan going around, and lots of people see them as proof that he's using again. 1. Oh, Ryan … Ryan has been through a lot this year, right? And there’s still a good bit left to go. 2. Another Arrest Remember, he spent the first part of it in jail after being arrested in January for skipping out on a bar tab. 3. Seriously, a Bar Tab? And yeah, the bar tab itself might not have been a huge issue — Mackenzie did say that she paid it, and it wasn’t a ton of money or anything either. 4. Do Better, Ryan The issue was that he was on probation already for drug charges. He spent those few months in jail for violating his probation. 5. Oh, Also This And those few months must have felt like an extra long time for Mackenzie, who had been alone for a few months just before that while he was gone to rehab. 6. To Be Fair … But we have to remember that Ryan is a heroin addict, and while it may be tough for him to be away from his family for long stretches in rehab and/or jail, at least that means he’s not away from them forever in a coffin.

Scott Disick Fears Prison (?!?) in New KUWTK Trailer

You can say many things about the Kardashians, along with nearly everyone in close proximity to this family. Really. You can. Go right ahead and do so right now. But there's one thing that can't really ever be uttered about this group of polarizing reality stars: They've never been in trouble with the law. With sex tapes? With infidelity? With the exploiting of their young fan base for millions of dollars? Yes, yes and yes. But Kim Kardashian and company has at least remained on the right side of the police… until now, perhaps. In a new promo for Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 17, which premieres some time this fall, Scott Disick speaks up and out at one point and says the following: “There’s a chance I would’ve had to go to prison.” Wait, what?!? For what possible reason? We have no idea and the preview does not say — and this is likely much ado about nothing at all. But it has still drawn out attention. Elsewhere in this footage, we see how tensions between Tristan Thompson and the Kardashians-Jenners are still lingering after he cheated on Khloé Kardashian with Jordyn Woods, Kylie Jenner‘s longtime best friend forever. In one revealing scene, Kim is angry after Thompson evidently ignored Khloe at their daughter True‘s first birthday party in April. “He doesn’t even speak to Khloe,” she fumes. “Khloe invited you. Be f—ing cordial.” “This whole thing sucks,” Khloe says, full a face full of tears. Again, say what you want about Khloe, but you must also feel pretty awful for her, considering this entire ordeal. E! has yet to announce a premiere date for Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 17. But you can get a close look at what's on tap here.

Danni Baird: Madison LeCroy is LYING About Shep Giving Me Chlamydia!

Southern Charm is now displaying one of the downsides to Austen Kroll's on-again, off-again relationship with Madison LeCroy . It seems that she and Shep don't get along — so much so that Madison claimed that Shep was giving out STIs like candy. But Danni, whom Madison had included in her STI story, says that there's simply no truth to the rumor. Hmmm … “You thought you and Austen were going to fall back into each other's arms and run off into the sunset?” Shep asked incredulously. “Wouldn't that have been nice?” Madison replied. “No,” Shep answered bluntly. “It would have been foolish, I think, for both of you.” “I think it's sad that your opinion weighs so heavily on our relationship,” Madison countered. “Because, to me, it doesn't matter.” Shep and Craig then lament how Austen doesn't seem to speak to them. Madison explains that it's because neither of them seem to actually care about his feelings or desires. “What do you think you know about me? … I've got nothing to hide,” Shep asked and then claimed to Madison. Here, he is clearly trying to goad her into saying something messy.  “You sure about that?” Madison asked in warning. “I heard that you gave her chlamydia.” As she said that, she gestured to Danni Baird. Craig burst into a fit of giggles while Danni looked absolutely stunned. Speaking to Bravo's The Daily Dish , Danni reflected upon being an innocent victim of a very unkind rumor. “What Madison said was very hurtful and untrue,” Danni affirms. “And I feel as though it was clearly calculated,” she adds. “Both directed at Shep and to me.” “I don’t think that Austen is innocent in the matter,” Danni admits. She explains: “They had both, unbeknownst to me, had been harboring some underlying resentment toward me particularly.” Danni speculates that it has something to do with revealing that Madison had been in Gentry Todd's DMs while still dating Austen. “I think [Madison] had harbored that,” she says. “And I had no idea.” “I mean,” Danni adds. “I had actually done everything I could possibly do to kind of protect her in that situation as it was unraveling.” She wanted to keep things calm “and not have it escalate into something bigger,” “But,” Danni admits. “I also had no idea that I had literally given Craig Conover ammunition.” “I didn’t know their relationship backstory,” she confesses. “And quite honestly, I couldn’t have cared less.” “Shep and I dated almost a decade ago,” Danni notes. “And we, or at least I, did not even know Madison and Austen back then.” “So what she said is completely untrue and unfair,” she emphasizes. “It was hurtful.” “She was trying to target Shep,” Danni acknowledges. “But I know good and well she threw me in there for a reason, subconsciously or not.” Nothing like a little armchair psychology when you're breaking down some reality TV drama, right? “And it’s just been really hard for me to comprehend how you can do that to somebody else,” Danni concludes. “It’s not my nature.”

Mike Sorrentino: I Can’t Wait to Sex a Baby Into My Wife!

Now that  Jersey Shore Family Vacation  is back on the air, viewers can see what a crazy year Mike Sorrentino has had. Between his wedding to Lauren Pesce and going to jail for tax fraud , The Sitch has had more on his plate than even his famous appetite can handle. But Mike’s comments on Thursday’s episode seem to hint that a new little Situation could be on the way soon. In real life, the wedding’s over and done with, and Mike is very nearly finished with his prison sentence. On air however, Mike and Lauren’s wedding is all the buzz as the cast prepares for the upcoming nuptuals.  Mike and his college sweetheart were about to spend the first months of their marriage separated by prison bars. Even so, they didn’t let it stop them from planning to start a family. “Myself and Lauren, we just started discussing having a little Situation,” Mike told the camera during a scene at his apartment. In the scene Lauren half-jokingly mentioned that there’s a “high chance” she could get pregnant. “Then we should get busy,” Mike responded. Wow! Sounds like Mike is kinda serious about this. Maybe’s he’s been putting more thought into this than we realized. “You think you’re ready for a baby?” Lauren asked Mike at the apartment. “Um, honey,” Mike told his fiance, “I’ve been born ready!” So there you have it. This reformed party animal is ready to be a dad. Parenting is the ultimate responsibility. If The Sitch is truly ready, then he’s come a long way from pounding Jager bombs and yelling at his costars. Then again, he is still on  Jersey Shore , so some childish drama is sure to come, but Mike has notably been sober for years now. But let’s not get too excited for Situation Jr just yet. The couple plan to wait a while before trying to make a baby. Lauren has said she wants the couple to buy a house before the two start building family, a responsible caveat to be sure. And when your husband is in prison, that’s certainly no time to be house-hunting or getting pregnant. “I don’t think we’re going to purchase a house while I’m in prison,” Mike said, eliciting a laugh from Lauren. It was also reported that Mike would not be eligible for conjugal visits, meaning any attempts at baby-making would also have to wait until Mike’s release. In an interview with  Us Weekly , the rest of the cast joked that prison hasn’t stopped Lauren and Mike from trying to conceive. “I think they’re already trying,” joked costar DJ Pauly D. “He’s like ‘Lauren, catch,'” he said, describing how “They smuggled out his sperm and gave it to Lauren.” That scenario definitely did not happen, but Lauren did say that the couple see each other “at least once a week.” According to her, their relationship is “stronger than ever.” This isn’t the first time the couple have mentioned trying for a baby. In May of 2018 Lauren told  People that she and Mike were “definitely planning” to start a family. “We don’t have a date yet,” she said at the time, “I think we need to see how this timing pans out for the rest of the year.” “But we’ve been ready for this,” she added. “So we’re definitely not looking for a long engagement.” Well, here we are, over a year later. The engagement is over, and soon the prison sentence will be too. We wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the couple’s little Situation is on the way next. We’ll be keeping an eye on these two as they finally reunite this summer.

Jenelle Evans: It’s My Son’s Birthday, So All You Haters Can Eff Off!

Jenelle Evans has a way with words. We don't mean, necessarily, that she's good with words, but she speaks and writes in a way that tends to capture your attention. The idea of Jenelle writing anything may seem puzzling, but now that she's been fired from Teen Mom 2 , most of what we know about her comes from her social media posts. And as much as we hate to pay Ms. Evans any compliments — she sure manages to express her personality through her writing. Even when she's doing something as simple as celebrating her son's birthday, Jenelle manages to slip in some of the insanity that helped make her famous.  Take a look: 1. Mother and Son Jace Evans has been raised by his grandmother, Barbara Evans, since infancy. But he still visits Jenelle and David Eason on The Land fairly frequently. 2. Outside the Fray Unlike Jenelle’s other kids, Jace was not involved in her recent fight to regain custody — because she never had custody of him in the first place. Still, you can bet he was affected by the drama. 3. The Birthday Boy Jace celebrates his tenth birthday today, and while he’s spent past birthdays with Jenelle and David, it’s unclear if he’ll be seeing this year. 4. B-Day Shoutout! Jenelle did post a collage of photos in honor of her eldest son, but it doesn’t look as though any of the pics are from this week. 5. The Big 1-0 “10 YEARS OLD ! #HappyBirthday to this very special boy!” Evans captioned the post. “You’re the best son and best big brother anyone could ask for.” 6. #LittleMan “You might be getting older but you’ll always be my #LittleMan.” she continued. “Here’s to another year of getting older! #StopGrowing #TimeFlies”.

Paul Wesley: I Totally Hated You Too, Nina Dobrev

Nina Dobrev shocked  Vampire Diaries fans in June when she revealed that she totally hated costar Paul Wesley , despite their on-screen chemistry. The two are close friends now, but it’s kind of amazing how well Nina faked it for those early seasons. Now Paul Wesley has come forward to confirm Nina’s story, and he confesses he didn’t like her much either! Paul addressed the couple’s mutual disdain while speaking with reporters at the Television Critics Association summer press tour on Thursday. “I think the point that Nina was making, and I’ll totally back her up on this, is that we totally clashed [the] first couple years,” Paul said. He didn’t mention any specific confrontations, but admitted he and she had the tendacy of “just getting on each other’s nerves.”  But Paul, now 37, wants us to know that that’s in the past, and that he and Nina later “developed this wonderful friendship.” “So it’s like this nice, happy ending,” Paul told reporters. For Paul, part of the problem with Nina was overexposure. The two went from being total strangers to seeing way, way too much of each other. Both of the stars were also constantly exhausted from the rigorous filming and promotional schedule. “When people work together nonstop, do press nonstop for years and years on end,” Paul reasoned. “You don’t appreciate the person that’s in front of you.” “You’re like, ‘Oh, you know, I’m exhausted and tired,'” he added. Paul continued, “And I think now, it’s such a nice story because we’re such good friends.” It can be so stressful when you can’t find any time off from a busy work schedule, and only see the same few coworkers all day. In that pressure cooker scenario, you can start to resent even the tiniest flaws of those around you. We can forgive these two for rubbing each other the wrong way back in the day, and we love that they’re so tight now. “I think it was a cool lesson to learn,” Paul recalled on Thursday.  He went on to explain, “It’s like the poeple that … maybe you don’t get along with in the beginning later surprise you.” “I think a lot of my friendships are like that,” Paul concluded. Well, we hope most of his friendships didn’t start out with mutual hatred. But there’s a lot to be said for being patient with those we don’t immediately like, and giving friendship a chance to grow. For Paul, learning this was just part of growing up.  Afterall, he and Nina were much younger when  The Vampire Diaries first aired on The CW. “We were both kids,” Paul remembered about their first years together. “She was, you know, couldn’t even legally drink. I was like, 24 or 25,” he said. It sounds like Nina and Paul struggled to adapt to becoming so successful so suddenly, and at such a young age. “We were both on this big show,” Paul recalled, “It’s like high school. It’s kind of like being at summer camp.” These two stars clearly had a pretty rocky start with each other. But both have gone on to say they now keep in touch regularly and hang out “all the time.” We’re glad Paul and Nina got their real-life happy ending, for now at least. We hope they’ll get the chance to work together again soon, this time as good friends. View Slideshow: The Vampire Diaries Finale: 13 Shockers!

A$AP Rocky Freed From Swedish Prison as Donald Trump Takes Credit For Rapper’s Release

We can practically guarantee this will never be the case ever again, but in this one instance … we couldn’t have said it better than Donald Trump. “A$AP Rocky released from prison and on his way home to the United States from Sweden,” the president tweeted moments ago. “It was a Rocky Week, get home ASAP A$AP!” Yes, the celebratory puns are flowing like Trump Vineyards Champagne today, as fans all over the world celebrate the release of rapper A$AP Rocky from a Swedish prison. As you’ve likely heard by now, A$AP was arrested on assault charges , and he’s spent the past month in jail awaiting trial. According to TMZ, Rocky appeared in court today and was set free following testimony from two witnesses who say he did not strike the alleged victim with a champagne bottle, as the plaintiff had claimed. Today’s court date was only a preliminary hearing, and Rocky is still scheduled to stand trial on August 14. But considering he was released from jail and granted permission to leave the country, it’s been widely assumed that he’ll be found not guilty in absentia. After all, extraditing him would be a nightmare, given the fact that Rocky has the full support of President Trump. Trump took up A$AP’s cause last month and he has repeatedly called for his release in recent weeks. “Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM,” Trump tweeted on July 25. “We do so much for Sweden but it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem! #FreeRocky” “THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART TO ALL OF MY FANS, FRIENDS AND ANYONE ACROSS THE GLOBE WHO SUPPORTED ME DURING THESE LAST FEW WEEKS,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “I CANT BEGIN TO DESCRIBE HOW GRATEFUL I AM FOR ALL OF YOU THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT AND HUMBLING EXPERIENCE I WANT TO THANK THE COURT FOR ALLOWING ME BLADI AND THOTO TO RETURN TO OUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL OF THE LOVE AND SUPPORT,” he added. We join millions of fans (and one sitting president) in welcoming A$AP home. View Slideshow: 14 Things Kanye West Actually Said in His Meeting with Donald Trump

Mario Lopez: Will He Be Fired for Transphobic Remarks?

For baffling reasons, Mario Lopez thinks that it’s “dangerous” to support trans kids . What’s more, he decided to voice that awful opinion. The backlash was loud and well-deserved. Now, sources say that Mario could lose his job Mario sat down with infamous conservative pundic Candace Owens and suggested that two things were dangerous. One, believing women who come forward after being assaulted. Two, emotionally supporting transgender children. Now, RadarOnline reports that Mario’s entire career may be in jeopardy. “The execs at NBC held an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss Mario’s future with the show,” an insider reveals. The source explains that they held this meeting “because they do not see how they can just let this fly” “Mario’s comments are not an accurate representation of what the network stands for at all,” the insider points out. “The network prides itself on equality,” the source adds. “And,” the insider expresses. “Do not accept anti LGBTQ hate speech at all.” Sometimes, people think of transphobic statements as merely a character flaw, like having a bad opinion. But statements of bigotry — celebrities calling supporting trans kids “dangerous” — can get trans children killed. It’s more than “just words.” “If you come from a place of love, you know, you really can’t go wrong,” Mario said during the ill-advised, ill-fated interview. “But at the same time,” he continued. “My God.” “if you’re 3 years old, and you’re saying you’re feeling a certain way or you think you’re a boy or girl whatever the case may be,” Mario said for some reason. He continued: “I just think it’s dangerous as a parent to make this determination then.” Mario did not explain how accepting your child for who they are might be “dangerous.” Mario did, at least, apologize after his name trended in the worst way for hours. “The comments I made were ignorant and insensitive, and I now have a deeper understanding of how hurtful they were,” Mario said. “I have been and always will be an ardent supporter of the LGBTQ community,” he insisted. “And,” Mario added. “I am going to use this opportunity to better educate myself.” “Moving forward,” he vowed. “I will be more informed and thoughtful.” Mario apologizing is a good first step … but not everyone is convinced that it’s anything more than an effort to save his career. “His apology really meant nothing at all,” the insider says dismissively. “All it does is solidify that he was aware that his comments were transphobic and hurtful,” the source adds. Apparently, Mario’s PR team thinks that the network may “make an example out of him,” and the insider thinks that they’re  “probably right.” “He lost a lot of fans from this,” the source points out. “And there is no way that he could ever really recover them back.” Mario has hosted Extra since 1994. The show was quick to release a statement: “While we have enjoyed a long relationship with Mario Lopez, who we know to be a caring person,” the statement began. Extra continued: “The opinions he expressed in this interview do not reflect those of Extra.” “We wholeheartedly embrace our friends from the LGBTQ community and believe they need support and love,” the statement eaffirmed. The statement concluded: “For more support on these issues you can go to GLAAD.org.” It is believed that Mario may keep his Access Hollywood gig, but public reactions could always change. Honestly? It’s a wonderful thing that society has reached a point where someone being transphobic is a scandal but being trans is not. That said, some suggest that if Mario is sincere about making this a learning opportunity, that can only be a good thing. Years ago, Katie Couric asked some very impertinent questions of some trans women and faced huge backlash over it. Since then, she learned from that and used her voice and profession to be an advocate for the trans community. It would be amazing to see Mario do the same. Ultimately, though, his career’s survival will be a business decision. It always is. View Slideshow: 14 Noteworthy Transgender Pioneers
