Leah Messer: Pissing Off Other Parents at Kids’ School?

Getting kids ready and off to school on time is never easy, but this time of year, after having the tykes at home all summer, many parents look forward to morning drop-offs. Not Leah Messer. For Leah the morning drop-off is the ultimate test of parenting competency. Last year, she botched one so badly that she briefly held the title of Most Hated Teen Mom 2 Cast Member. (Fortunately for Leah and the other girls, Jenelle Evans is always quick to regain that title.) You may remember the scene and the social media firestorm that followed it. Leah rushed her girls off to school without feeding them breakfast first, and the young ladies were decidedly (and understandably) not happy about it. To make matters worse, it wasn’t the only time that Leah had trouble getting the kids off to school on time: Leah Messer to Kids: I’ll Get You to School Whenever I Want! In fact, things got so bad, that Leah actually lost custody of her twins to their father, Corey Simms, in large part because of her inability to get them up and ready for class in a timely fashion. It wasn’t until she was able to demonstrate that she is able to get the kids fed, clothed and off to school that Leah was granted custody again . We think it’s safe to say she’s not a morning person. Anyway, it seems that Leah is once again having weekday morning issues. Except this it’s not her kids who are cranky – it’s the other parents. Leah posted the following to Instagram earlier today: As you can see, she’s eager to apologize/clarify herself to a fellow parent who was clearly upset about the presence of a camera crew at their child’s bus stop. “There were NO cameras filming at my girls’ bus stop this morning,” Leah writes. “MTV follows my life and happened to be doing so this morning at my home. “HOWEVER, I personally have more than enough RESPECT for the other children & parents that I knew would be there to make it VERY clear to MTV that no cameras were to be filming at the bus stop.” She concludes: “I hope the person who seemed to be frustrated that the crew was following behind me in a car does see this and knows that my priority is my children, and our school, and my job on TV will never interfere with that. “If you have ANY questions or concerns feel free to contact me directly.” It’s unclear exactly why the offended party believed their child was being filmed, but we can’t help but think that Leah could’ve handled this in a more discrete fashion. Granted, she didn’t mention the person by name, but a kindly worded email or phone call probably would’ve been more effective than Leah addressing a situation regarding privacy in front of her 1 million IG followers. Just a thought. View Slideshow: Leah Messer Bad Parenting Excuse Hall of Fame But hey, at least she’s putting her kids on the bus now! No more long, hungry commutes for Aliannah and Aleeah!

Grace Vanderwaal: What Is She Spending Her $1 Million On?

Grace Vanderwaal is the 12-year-old that the whole world is probably talking about right now.  From the moment she showed up on NBC’s America’s Got Talent, it a super clear that she was a very talented in young girl.  That’s what ultimately sent her all the way to the end of the competition and ultimately winning the whole thing.  She may well be the singer-songwriter that changes the industry.  It’s not very often nowadays that artists as young as Vanderwaal hit it big being a singer-songwriter, but it’s pretty clear she’s just getting started.  She’s been compared to the likes of Taylor Swift and has been praised for her unique voice.  One of the perks of winning talent series is that she will receive $1 million.  That’s a whole lot of money for a young girl, but what does she plan on spending it on? Grace VanderWaal Wins! Vanderwaal wants to give some of her winnings to charity .  That’s a very mature thing to say. Right?! Usually when kids get money, they want to get the latest toys, but not Grace.  A luxury she does want is a treehouse, but aside from that, it seems like she’s pretty grounded in reality and doesn’t want anything extravagant.  The judges were quick to praise Vanderwaal for winning this summer’s edition of the show.  She was up against a lot of talented individuals, but she emerged as the most popular.  Grace VanderWaal – “Clay” Howie Mandel took an early shine to the contestant.  “The most amazing thing about Grace is that you haven’t heard anybody who sounds like her,” he says. “You haven’t heard any lyrics from somebody that is like her, and we’ve been saying to her, you are the most unique, brightest star to come out of one of these shows.” The young star even sent Simon Cowell all the way back 14 years to when Kelly Clarkson won the first season of American Idol.  “That moment at the end, it reminded me of the Kelly Clarkson moment. You know, when they said, ‘And the winner is Kelly Clarkson,’ ” Cowell says. “I kind of had that same feeling again when they read her name out, and I saw her reaction and she was literally in pieces. I like that though.” Grace VanderWaal Lights Up the Sky on America’s Got Talent The rest of the judges had similar sentiments.  Even host, Nick Cannon chimed in with his thoughts on Vanderwaal.  “I’m not going to say I called it, but I’ve been saying that young girl is a superstar since the moment that I met her,” he says. “Her energy. Her vibration. Her light is so real now the world is about to see even more.” We couldn’t agree more.  What do you think of all this? Hit the comments below!

Kanye West Gets Rid of Phone, Needs More Air "To Create"

While it’s a fantastic idea to unplug from our mobile devices, not many of us tweet it out thinking others will care. Unless your name is Kanye West. In order for him to reach his true artistic potential, West has announced that he’s parting ways with his phone. “I got rid of my phone so I can have air to create,” he tweeted on September 14th. It’s never not a weird time for West to get rid of a phone, and he might not have any particular reason for getting rid of it now, However, perhaps the criticism from his Yeezy Season 4 show prompted West to put the phone down.   Permanently. It wasn’t a total wash, though.  Without a phone he wouldn’t have been able to antagonize his future wife over her romantic choices. West said that the first time he got a phone was in 2011, when he learned that his longtime crush was marrying Kris Humphries (the couple wed in August, but separated 72 days later). “I got a phone because somebody decided they wanted to marry Kris Humphries,” West joked on an episode of Kocktails with Khloe back in April. “I wasn’t up to anything, and I looked on the internet, and there was Kim Kardashian with some extremely tall person, and I was like, ‘I need to call her or something.’” Oddly enough, this relinquishing of the phone could have proved useful to West during his Twitter rants back in February. “Pitchfork, the album is a 30 out of 10,” West tweeted in response to the outlet rating his album, The Life of Pablo . More! “To Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and any other white publication. Please do not comment on black music anymore.” Aaaaand this. “I love love love white people but you don’t understand what it means to be the great grandson of ex slaves and make it this far.” The latest rant from Kanye?  More of a response to Kid Cudi than a rant, but it was highly entertaining to watch. Kanye West BLASTS Kid Cudi: Respect the God! So, now that West is without a phone, will he be using pay phones? Rotary phones?  Land lines with cords?! Coming soon: Yeezy Season Five From a Phone Booth.   Quarters Required.

Naya Rivera: Lea Michele Was UNBEARABLE To Be Around

Naya Rivera’s new book, Sorry Not Sorry is proving to be quite the page turner. Earlier today, Rivera opened up about her 2010 abortion, which she wrote about in the book.   What was also mentioned was her relationship with Glee co-star Mark Salling, who is awaiting trial for child pornography charges . Perhaps the juiciest section of Rivera’s book details her not-so-pleasant relationship with Lea Michele, who was rumored to be the Fox hit’s biggest diva. Michele, who had already gotten a taste of the limelight starring on Broadway’s Spring Awakening , threw a bit of a fit when the air conditioner broke during season one rehearsals. Michele, Rivera remembers, ” kept threatening to call SAG about the unsafe working conditions.” Rivera wrote that she and most of her fellow cast members were pretty close, and always threw parties at Kevin McHale and Jenna Uschkowitz’s home, which they all nicknamed the “Love Nest.” Michele wasn’t much of a party animal, and only once made an appearance at the Love Nest. “Lea does not go out,” Rivera explained. “She wanted to let her hair down, so she drank two hot toddies while she was there.” Oh, girl. “The rest of us were slamming champagne and vodka, and Lea’s in the kitchen making tea.” One night, Rivera and co-star Heather Morris did a strip-tease kind of dance for Cory Monteith, Michele’s boyfriend. “I’m pretty sure Cory had a hard-on the entire time,” Rivera joked (or half-joked). That same evening, Monteith asked Rivera why they had never hooked (oldest trick in the book).  While the did share a “quick” peck, Rivera wrote, “Cory and I had a very brotherly/sisterly relationship.” Once, however, Monteith started dating Michele, Rivera noticed a change in him. “The more serious they got, the less Cory hung out with us, and the more he seemed like a different person.” View Slideshow: Glee Stars Pay Tribute to Cory Monteith on Anniversary of His Death When Chris Colfer wrote an episode, he invited some dogs onto the set.  “One particular Glee star,” Rivera wrote, decided to “amp up her b**** factor “She made a huge deal about the dogs, and demanded hand sanitizer any time one came near her.” Without naming names, we can assume this particular star was Michele. When Rivera spoke up about Michele’s behavior in 2014, she allegedly insulted a producer in the process, and found out the next day that she had been fired from Glee . “So I guess you can throw a b*** fit, lock yourself in your trailer, stall production yet still allegedly find time to leak stories to the press,” Rivera wrote of the whole ordeal, though she insists she wasn’t fired. “I think Rachel— erm, I mean Lea— didn’t like sharing the spotlight,” Rivera continued. “In the end, I do wish that Lea and I had gotten along better, but I’m not losing sleep over it.” Sorry Not Sorry: Dreams, Mistakes, and Growing Up (TarcherPerigree) is out now.

Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: I Love When Clouds Touch Mountains or Whatever

After a tumultuous first four episodes of the fall, what wild and crazy ISH went down Monday night on Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 ? Watch Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 Online On the latest installment of the MTV franchise, the fab four went through highs and lows as always – some more profound than others. Speaking of profound moments, ladies and gentlemen: “You know what I wonder? If the earth is a circle, how does the water always stay? Gravity?” Farrah Abraham said, dropping serious knowledge. “But the water is a little bit more heavier than gravity.”  “I love when clouds touch mountains or whatever.” Apropos of nothing, but we couldn’t not include that.  If you  watch Teen Mom OG online , you know that Farrah and Simon Saran have had a tumultuous relationship to say the very least. Well, Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 was no exception as Simon flew to Hawaii to make up and make out with her post- Easter Gate . Of course, nothing with Farrah is every that easy. The trip was an total bust, for a variety of reasons. Simon and his sometime porn star GF promptly got into it about how “fake” the other one is, and he ended up getting ditched on the curb. Seriously. Along with his “day bag.” Asked if she’s in love with Simon, Farrah responded, “I don’t think I need to be concerned of if I love someone right now.” “It’s more or less repairing what was already started. And it’s slowly getting there. But I’m like, why isn’t it there already?” A very good, and deep question. Simon and Farrah may not last, but he recently said Farrah is a great mom , so it looks like they’ve made up, if not made out, recently. View Slideshow: 35 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time Elsewhere, Amber Portwood’s boyfriend Matt Baier, threw her surprise party for the big 2-6. As in the number of years she’s been alive. Not his total number of children. Sorry. Low blow? Too soon? In all seriousness, it was a good time as daughter Leah came along with Amber’s old cellmate, Nicole, who is also out of prison now. Nicole is the only other member of their prison crew to make it out to the real world, so this was a big deal for Ambs and rightfully so. “She was my best friend,” Amber said. “And we’re actually the only two out of our friends who have made it and haven’t went back in.” Portwood’s prison days seem a distant memory lately, and that’s to her credit and she really has turned her life around in every sense. Still, personal struggles remain. “We all have different problems on this show, but for some odd reason, I’m so depressed,” she revealed. “I’m bipolar and manic depressive.” “I’m borderline personality. I’m diagnosed with every single one of those. I’m on my medications for it,” Amber added, but she cautioned: Given her problems with drug abuse in the past, her medications are non-narcotics and they are closely monitored, so that’s a relief. We wish her the best. Poor girl. Maci Bookout: Overwhelmed By Wedding Plans?! Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney just bought a house, but now they’re buying a new one due to the whole unexpected third pregnancy. Taylor also got a tattoo of their unborn baby’s name (Maverick), which begged the question of what happens if he turns out to be a girl. Sonograms, or the technicians reading them, have been wrong before, so it’s not far-fetched. Maci’s take on this hilarious hypothetical? “Ryan was supposed to be a girl.” “Not f–king surprising at all.” LOL. Finally, Catelynn Lowell went to rehab for mental health treatment, and Tyler Baltierra was in shambles, literally pained for his spouse. “[She’s] like a log just rolling through days,” he told Teen Mom: OG producers, reflecting on how Cate needs help and telling his wife: “You’re not f–ked up, honey. Things happen.” “As long as we don’t mask it no more, and we fix it,” he said, everything will be alright, and Catelynn seemed to take all that to heart.  “I probably wont come home and smoke [pot],” she said. “Actually, I should just start saying I wont come home and smoke ever again.” “I feel like I’m a crack addict or something.” Not a crack addict, but getting help is never a bad thing when you’re struggling. As Tyler said, things happen, and we’re all in it together. Catelynn Lowell Speaks on Anxiety

Alec Baldwin finally has a reason to calm down. The often-angry actor is all smiles at the moment because his wife just gave birth to the couple’s third child. It’s a boy and Hilaria Baldwin was feeling well enough after giving birth that she shared an Instagram photo of herself and the newborn soon after welcoming him into the universe.

View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Welcomed Babies in 2016 Of her three-year old daughter, Hilaria told Us Weekly in June of 2015 that she couldn’t have been more excited to have a little brother. “She wants to kiss him, hold him, sing to him and feed him food she can’t eat,” Baldwin said at the time. “She’s a good big sister.” And now she has TWO little brothers to kiss, hold, sing to and feed.

Alexis Arquette: Cause of Death Revealed?

Yesterday, we reported that actress, model and transgender activist  Alexis Arquette had passed away at the age of 47. Alexis turned in memorable performances in films such as Pulp Fiction and The Wedding Singer , and she was the sister of famed actors David, Patricia and Rosanna Arquette. No official cause of death has been given, but a statement from her brother Richmond Arquette gave the impression that the passing was not unexpected. “Our brother Robert, who became our brother Alexis, who became our sister Alexis, who became our brother Alexis, passed this morning,” Richmond wrote. “He was surrounded by all of his brothers and sisters, one of his nieces and several other loved ones.” Richmond added that Alexis’ final moments were arranged in accordance with her last requests: “As per his wishes, we cheered at the moment that he transitioned to another dimension,” he noted. Usually when a celebrity passes at such a young age the assumption is that substance abuse or an accident were involved. In Alexis’ case, however, she was surrounded by family and friends and seemed to know in advance that her passing was imminent. Now, a former lover named Robert Dupont has come forward claiming to know the cause of Arquette’s untimely death. “Alexis was living with AIDS and she had an inoperable tumor and she had developed an infection,”  Dupont explained to Radar Online. “I was told that went to her liver and throughout her body.” Dupont, who reportedly dated Arquette for “several years” in the ’90s, added that Alexis was “in an induced coma” at the time of her passing. Sadly, Dupont says Arquette’s final years were difficult for her: “She was working as an artist and living in an Actors Fund home in West Hollywood for people with HIV and AIDS. She hated it,” he tells the website. “People kept breaking into her apartment and they did alcohol and drugs. Alexis hated that. She never did drugs and she didn’t drink. “Her family offered to have her live with them, but she wanted to be independent.” A second source confirmed that was ill for several years, but remained focused on her art and her career despite her difficulties: “Towards the end she was in a lot of pain, but she was not going to give up,” the unidentified insider says. “She was holding on so hard at the end and she was such a fighter. Alexis was sick for so long.” The source confirms that Arquette never even dabbled with intoxicants of any kind: “I never ever saw Alexis do drugs — she never did cocaine, speed or anything like that,” the insider says. View Slideshow: Alexis Arquette: Mourned and Honored by Hollywood “She lived a life that is fearless. When she started doing drag it was very taboo. “She was crazy … she was really wild. As wild as she was, she was always super loyal to her friends.” In the 24 hours since her death, several celebrities and thousands of fans have taken to Twitter to honor Alexis with kind words and her favorite songs.

Fifty Shades Darker: Teaser & Poster Released!

Mr. Grey will see you… in February 2017! The sequel to the hit movie is just months away and we could not be more excited.  Sure, it was ludicrous in every sense of the imagination, but we must know what happens next.  Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson will return as Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, respectively.  The movie will center on the continued relationship between Grey and Steele, but their relationship will take a darker turn.  We’re not sure that was even possible, but we’ll for sure be watching the movie.  The official poster is as elegant as you would imagine. Naturally, Grey is putting a masquerade ball mask on Steele. Should we have expected anything less? This is a movie about BDSM.  She looks very happy to have it on and even poses for the camera.  The teaser trailer for the new movie was also uploaded to Instagram.  This comes one day before the official trailer is set to make its way on to the internet.  Fans will no doubt be super happy with the teaser.  Obviously, it doesn’t give much away.  It’s more of a taster before the full trailer is released.  A video posted by Fifty Shades Darker (@fiftyshadesmovie) on Sep 12, 2016 at 8:02am PDT There has been a huge amount of press surrounding reports that Jamie Dornan wanted out of the role, but that’s far from the case.  The second and third movies were shot back-to-back and production is now complete, so he’s completed the work he was contracted.  There is word that a fourth movie in the franchise could be made, but this would depend on whether E.L James was open to writing another novel in the series.  There’s also a possibility that a movie version could be made from Christian’s perspective. It wouldn’t be all that interesting, but it would probably make some more money for the studio.  The first movie was critically panned, but it managed to make $571 million at the worldwide box office.  That’s hardly a number to sneeze at considering the production budget was $40 million.  The movie could make a lot less this time round and still be considered a huge success.  There is a chance that the negative reaction to the first movie could echo through to the sequel. That happen a lot with movies.  If you release a turd, don’t expect the fans to return.  Maybe a turd is a strong word to use, but the quality of the finished product did not live up to the huge hype.  What do you think of the latest intel on the movie? Should the third one be the end of the franchise? Hit the comments below!

Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly: It’s Over! Again!

It seems like was just last week that we reported Wilmer Valderrama and Minka Kelly were back together  and officially in a relationship. Oh, wait … That was just last week. Yes, we think it’s safe to assume that Minka’s douche detection equipment is much more powerful than Demi Lovato’s, as sources say the model has kicked Wilmer to the curb after just a few days of dating. In fairness, Minka and Wilmer dated back in 2012, so she had some warning that the douche-nado was headed her way. So she loses some points for taking Wilmer back in the first place… …but she quickly redeemed herself by kicking his ass to the curb. “They stopped dating,” a source confirmed to Us Weekly today. Since Us was the tabloid that revealed these two are dating in the first place, it’s safe to assume they know what they’re talking about. On the surface, it looks like a “friends with benefits,” fling-type situation, but the insiders seem to believe there was more going on. One source claims the couple actually got back together several weeks before we previously thought. The insider says the Minka-Wilmer reunion actually lasted about a month before it imploded, presumably over a fight about who has the quirkier first name. The reconciliation came just a few months after Wilmer and Demi Lovato broke up after six years of on-again, off-again dating. We’re guessing Demi was more than a little surprised by how quickly Wilmer moved on. Sadly, we weren’t exactly shocked. Wilmer has a reputation for living his life like he’s taking his cues from an unused Entourage script. We’re guessing after he broke up with Demi, the Turtle in Wilmer’s life twisted a couple doobs and discouraged him from calling up his ex, but Wilmer did it anyway, because while he’s totes a chillaxed bro, he’s kind of a romantic too, ya know? View Slideshow: 18 Most Bitter Breakups in Hollywood History Anyway, thankfully Minka was having none of it. Of course, this is a woman who dated Derek Jeter , and just about every dude on the planet pales in comparison to El Capitan. It’s a truth A-Rod knows all too well.
