Big Brother Spoilers: Veto & Final Nominations

Big Brother is at the stage of the game that everything is getting ridiculously predictable.  The Final Four  alliance continued to make their presence felt in the house and it has caused multiple arguments.  Natalie and James are pretty annoyed that Nicole and Corey ditched them to form an alliance with Paul and Victor.  With that in mind, James has stabbed pretty much everyone he’s been in an alliance with this summer, so there’s that.  James may be great at making people think their in the wrong, but really, he is the one in the wrong.  It was great that Victor saw through all the lies on Sunday’s episode.  James and Natalie have pretty much been bickering non stop over the last few days in the house.  This won’t help their case to make a deal with someone else before one of them is evicted.  Really, the only way to survive is to literally offer to settle for second place, but would either of them do that? Michelle probably would have.  Secretly, Natalie resents James for making her trust Corey and Nicole.  To an extent, I agree with her, but she kind of deserves what she’s getting for putting her game in James’ hands.  How can she expect to go much further when all of her decisions have been made by James? Granted, she did win a HOH competition, but she ultimately took what James said to heart and followed through on his plan.  Basically, James won HOH that week.  A lot was riding on the Veto competition for the couple. They could have one of them taken off the block.  Sadly, regardless how it played out, there was no chance Victor would allow any of his alliance to go home.  The Final Four is pretty solid for now, but that will change somewhat after next week.  View Slideshow: 12 Big Brother Houseguests We Loved… Or Loved to Hate All of the houseguests competed in the veto competition, but James and Natalie were left disappointed when Corey managed to eke out a victory.  This led to much bickering over who should be sent packing this week. Victor was very much against James.  Thanks to Nicorey, they’re saying James would be best to stay because he would be rattled by Natalie’s departure.  For now, it appears that Natalie is heading to the jury house on Thursday night, but things can change.  James has been campaigning for Natalie to stay, but it’s all for nothing right now.  Elsewhere, Paul and Victor had a chat about who they would take to final three with them and it’s sounding like Nicole might be their ticket to the end.  Nicole has not played much of a game, but she has a better chance of winning than Corey.  It would be silly to take her to the end over Corey. Though she hasn’t played a game, she has managed to float on through, while getting her targets out of the game.  That’s got to count for something with the jurors.  What do you think of the latest spoilers?

Kelly Clarkson Looks Back on American Idol: It Was Amazing!

Kelly Clarkson has had a wonderful career that has spanned over fourteen years.  Clarkson won the first season of American Idol back in 2002. It’s crazy to think that she’s still as relevant as today as she was back then.  Her career has continued to flourish, but Idol did not.  The singing competition finally concluded earlier this year after 15 seasons. That’s a great run for any series.  You’d think singing competitions would be a bit long in the tooth by now, but NBC continues to find success with two cycles of The Voice every year.  Granted, there always seems to be some sort of rift with the judges on the show, but it drums up good ratings.  Clarkson has enjoyed a lot of success throughout her career. She’s the first artist from the show to achieve 100 Billboard number 1 hit singles.  Yes, that means the star has topped the chart at least 100 times.  That’s not an easy task for anyone, so she deserves a lot of recognition for that.  That said, Kelly is not about to forget where she came from. She knows American Idol gave her the career she has today.  Joining singing competitions was the best way to get noticed in 2002. There was no Youtube for artists to go viral back in those days.  Kelly took to Twitter to express her gratitude to the once hot Fox series.  Kelly Clarkson Brings Everyone to Tears on American Idol “14 yrs ago 2day @AmericanIdol opened a door w/such amazing opportunities & experiences 4 me!” the 34-year-old singer wrote on Twitter on Sunday, September 4. “I am 4ever grateful & blessed! #heresto14more.” There’s every reason to believe that Clarkson will still be topping the charts in fourteen years. She really does have staying power and it’s not often an artist can continue to top the charts after all this time.  Kelly recently signed a major record deal with Atlantic Records, so at least we know she’ll continue to release great music.  View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Welcomed Babies in 2016 She also welcomed a son in April of this year, but she will be back with new music very soon.  It just goes to show that even though the final few seasons of American Idol were terrible, the show still served a huge purpose.  It gave the likes of Kelly Clarkson a start in an industry that’s very difficult to become a star in.  Clarkson even appeared on the final season of the Fox hit, but apparently Carrie Underwood was not impressed .  Underwood was given a smaller segment than Clarkson.  This peeved Underwood because she knows she is the bigger money maker of the two.  What do you think of all of this?

Dani Mathers: Facing Charges For Body-Shaming Gym Pic?

Back in July, former Playmate of the Year Dani Mathers thought it would be funny to take a Snapchat of a naked woman at her LA Fitness gym, and share it. The caption, which read “If I can’t unsee this then you can’t either,” shamed the fellow gym patron and set off a firestorm that saw Mathers not only banned from a ll LA Fitness locations, but fired from her gig on KLOS’s Heidi & Frank morning show. “Her behavior is appalling and puts every member at risk of losing their privacy,” LA Fitness EVP of operations Jill Greuling told the Los Angeles Times. “Our written rules are very clear: Cellphone usage and photography are prohibited in the locker rooms.” Now, TMZ has learned that the LAPD has located the victim in the photo – described as a woman in her 70’s – who is ready to fully cooperate with the case, which includes testify against Mathers. The charge, if issued, is Dissemination of Private Images, which is reportedly a misdemeanor which could carry a 6-month jail sentence. LAPD officers want to make an example of Mathers, whom they believe tried to shame someone who was trying to better herself. As for Mathers, who was named Playboy’s Playmate of the Year in 2015, she issued an apology on Snapchat soon after the incident. “I just want to acknowledge a photo that I accidentally posted. It was absolutely wrong and not what I meant to do,” the 29-year-old said in the video. “I chose to do what I do for a living because I love the female body and I know body shaming is wrong, that’s not what I’m about and this is not the type of person I am. “The photo was taken as part of a personal conversation with a girlfriend and because I am new to Snapchat I didn’t realize I had posted it, and that was a huge mistake. “I know I have upset a lot of people out there but please believe me this is not the type of person that I am. “I have never done this before and I will never do this again, you have my word.” Users on social media didn’t believe Mathers apology, accusing her of only being sorry because she got caught.   Even former Girls Next Door star, Kendra Wilkinson told TMZ that Mathers’ decision was a “stupid f–king choice,” and refused to even defend the Playmate. “That’s a huge mistake. No one should be taking pictures of anybody who they don’t know,” Wilkinson said. “And if it’s in the privacy of a gym … That’s why I don’t change at a gym, because I get scared of that.” Mathers thought issuing yet another mea culpa (in addition to her Snapchat video) would somehow win her a few points. “I’m sorry for what I did,” she wrote on Twitter.  “I need to take some time to myself now to reflect on why I did this horrible thing. Goodnight.” View Slideshow: 27 Stars Who Shamed Their Body-Shamers

Kylie Jenner: Check Out My Possibly Fake Hair!

Kylie Jenner is changing her hair up again, but could she be trying to fool her fans? There’s something about the snaps she shared that looks ever so fake.  Could Kylie’s Snapchat be run by the producers of Keeping Up with the Kardashians? There’s a strong possibility of that. Either way, the Kardashians needed their name on the news and Kylie’s alleged new hair seemed to fit the bill.  Jenner really does love to flash the cash, but is she really doing so on these brand new locks? On the above snap, Kylie makes it clear that getting her hair dyed is an all day affair.  Getting a perfect cut and dye does not happen quickly. It’s one of those things that takes a LOT of time for perfection. Being in the spotlight as much as she is, Kylie is no doubt very conscious about how the public perceive her appearance.  That said, the above photo does looks pretty edited.  It’s not the only one, either.  In her next snap, she continued to use the bunny ears to deflect the attention away from the hair that looks a little too edited.  If she’s going for platinum blonde, she doesn’t seem to be going the best way about it.  The fact we have yet to see the end result makes it all seem like something that could have been pulled out of thin air.  The Kardashians are great at deceiving fans, but could this one be a step too far? View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Selfies: A Kandid Kollection The ratings are krashing for the E! reality series , so the family are no doubt worried about what will happen to them if the show is canceled.  Another network would probably attempt to snap the show up, but they wouldn’t pay the big bucks that E! does.  If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online , you’ll know that the show is running on fumes.  Any way you look at it, viewers are getting tired of the Kardashians, but what would really become of them without a show? It’s pretty crazy how quickly the ratings have slipped this season.  Might Rob & Chyna perform better than the parent series? Rob & Chyna Teaser: Constant Fights Make For Great TV! Kris Jenner would be quick to try and do package deals to secure her show remains on the air.  Either that, or she’d find a way to wheel and deal her name into the title.  That’s kind of what she does.  What do you think of the hair?

Luke Pell Speaks on Bachelor Snub: ABC Screwed Me Over!

Okay, so maybe Luke Pell isn’t taking the whole Bachelor casting snub thing very well after all… On Tuesday night, ABC stunned viewers by passing over Pell (the presumed favorite) in favor of Nick Viall as the next Bachelor . Starting this spring with new episodes of the reality series, Viall will be given his fourth shot to find contrived love, following a pair of runner-up finishes on The Bachelorette and his current gig on Bachelor in Paradise. The selection came as a shock to those who watch The Bachelor online and who follow this franchise closely. At first, however, Pell seemed to take the rejection in stride. Just consider the following meme and message: “Thanks for all the love and support over the past few months, sometimes in life we are faced with unexpected changes,” Pell wrote on Instagram. A tad bit extreme, considering this “unexpected challenge” and this reference to God having a plan in centered on anchoring The Bachelor? Some might say. But it at least proven that Pell was handling the surprising selection very well. Now, however, Pell has come out and told Us Weekly that he was closer than folks could have possibly imagined to being named The Bachelor. And then it was taken away from him. “We were all satisfied, had agreed to the contracts and everything was moving forward,” Pell explains to Us Weekly . “I was checked in to my flight to come to L.A. I got a call from producers Sunday night at about 10 p.m. They said ABC had decided to quote-unquote go in a different direction. “I was supposed to fly out Monday morning at 9 a.m. I had my bags packed and everything.” And the Winner is? Nick Viall Click Here To Vote for Nick Luke Pell Click Here To Vote for Luke Nick Viall will be The Bachelor in the spring of 2017. But would you prefer to have seen Luke Pell picked for this position? View Poll » Pell became a fan favorite this past season on The Bachelorette while he was competing to be JoJo Fletcher’s husband. ABC executives have admitted that Viall was chosen at the last minute, but we didn’t realize it really was at the very last minute. According to Pell, far more than just an airline ticket had been purchased. “We had planned for intro filming and had planned to have my sister come on for a date and give advice as part of the show,” he says of how far into negotiations he got with the network. “I met with the wardrobe guys. Everything was moving forward. Everyone on the production level was expecting it to be me, as well.” Is Pell bitter over the way things went? Yes, clearly. Sort of at least. But he’s an alum of West Point. He’s come to “accept the decision,” he says, pointing to his military background in his response. “From all my years in the military, I’ve learned that some things are out of my control,” he told Us Weekly, adding: “I put it in the past, and I’m moving forward. It was a huge surprise, but the element of surprise and unexpected decisions is what the show thrives off of.” That’s very true. And puts it in perspective. Compared to some of the things he’s seen, done and prepared for in service to our country, this setback is pretty minor. Plus, he’s got his whole life ahead of him, reality TV or not. Would he do The Bachelor some time down the line if asked? Probably not at this point. For now, Pell is home in Nashville, Tenn., and says he’s focused on being “an entrepreneur and a songwriter.” He’s also still focused on finding a wife.  View Slideshow: Nick Viall and Andi Dorfman (and Kaitlyn Bristowe): What Might Have Been! If you’re interested, here is what he’s looking for in a soul mate: “I love somebody that is excited about life and has goals and dreams.” “I love independence. I love confidence.” “I love somebody that loves family and loves to have fun and who is completely comfortable in their own skin.” As for Nick? Twitter has some thoughts on his selection: View Slideshow: Nick Viall as The Bachelor: Twitter Reacts!

Javi Marroquin: Plastic Surgery Changed Kailyn Lowry Forever!

Kailyn Lowry’s body has been forever altered by plastic surgery, according to her soon-to-be ex-husband Javi Marroquin, who’s not a fan. Why? Because her physical appearance isn’t the only thing that’s been changed, according to the Teen Mom 2 star in his chat with Radar. In fact, he says Kailyn Lowry’s plastic surgery led to their divorce , at least in part, as her many procedures altered more than just her ass. Lowry underwent a Brazilian butt lift, tummy tuck and liposuction of her neck, dramatically changing the young mom we first met on MTV. Ultimately, though, it was emblematic of a shift in mentality that drove Javi away, the U.S. Air Force member tells the celebrity news site. “She was struggling a lot with her body and her weight issues so she got the surgery,” Marroquin said. “She said it makes her happy.” “So at the end of the day that’s all that matters.” Is it, though? Doesn’t sound like be believes so. Indeed, the father of her second son Lincoln, 2, says he wasn’t on board with the surgeries , which took place right before he was deployed. “I was more shocked at who she’s becoming,” he said, in what sounds like a cheap shot from a bitter ex than a legitimate critique. “In the back of my mind I was also worried of who you’re going to be. Are you going to be the same person I fell in love with?”  “Is this going to change you?” Javi recalled thinking, adding, “the surgery is part of the reason we had so many problems.” Really? Is that fair to put on Kailyn’s shoulders now? Javi says yes, reiterating that the procedures did change her, as she went to the MTV VMAs braless in a see-through lace shirt. Is that a bad thing somehow? We’re confused. Hot new appearance or not,  Marroquin will never take Lowry back , ever. Ever. “No, there is nothing that could be done, said or heard.” “We both know it was too much.” “We got married and everything was great,” he said, in a rare positive acknowledgement during what has been a rough year for both. “Our marriage wasn’t always on the rocks.” “We did have a lot of fun together,” Javi says, adding that he has no regrets: “She was my best friend, we did a lot of fun stuff together.” “At the end of the day that’s my son’s mother,” he said, adding with an ever-so-slight passive-aggressive dig, “I have a lot of love for Kail.” “I have a lot of love for who she was.” Man, this guy knows how to twist the proverbial knife, playing the victim and then dishing out the shade left and right whenever he can. “If she’s ever going through a rough patch I’m still there for her,” he says. “At co-parenting we’re going great. As far as friendship goes?” “Maybe one day.” Of course, Javi also implied that Kailyn “knows what she did” to drive them apart and promises that the truth will “unravel” over time. Always cryptic. Recently, the warring spouses got into a tiff online over Christina “Peach” Pietrobon and her allegations that Kailyn cheated on Javi. “She found something out, brought it to my attention, so obviously I confronted Kail and asked,” he said of his best friend of 10 years. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry & Javi Marroquin Divorce: A Timeline of Destruction “When you ask who the source was, naturally you’re not going to like that person. [My friends are] the only people I can believe,” he said. “They have no reason to lie to me. Her best friends are telling me this kind of stuff. Why would they lie? They didn’t like what they saw.” “They didn’t like what she was doing.” What was that, exactly? You’ll have to wait for the tell-all book, obviously. Javi, as much as he loves to paint Kailyn as the opportunist, knows the game as well.

Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 Recap: Jinger Duggar is Courting!!!

On Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 , Jeremy Vuolo enjoyed his first meal with the Duggars and Jinger revealed her courtship rules. Or lack thereof, as it turned out. Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 Online Jinger, quite clearly, is smitten. “Jeremy Vuolo is my best friend from Laredo, Texas, and he recently asked me if I would enter into an official courtship with him,” she said. Jeremy, clearly, is smitten too. “It’s a big next step, and it’s an exciting next step,” Jeremy added, as they went to Jessa and Ben Seewald’s house for ice cream and conversation. With Jessa’s father Jim Bob sort of awkwardly there too, Ben asked the new couple they had discussed any of their “courtship guidelines.” The response? “I have a desire to save the physical for marriage,” Jeremy said, noting that he “understood the temptations” in rushing into the sex. Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo Reveal Courtship Rules … or Lack Thereof Pastor Vuolo reiterated that the duo would “enjoy each other” in the physical way another “season,” but not right now. Because #courting. Joseph Duggar then broke down for viewers at home the list of Duggar courtship rules and other things banned by the famous family. As we all know if we watch Counting On online , side hugs are okay, but frontal hugs are not. You just don’t want to touch fronts. Yet. Counting On Season 3 Episode 2 was a refresher course in Duggar courting awkwardness, which also forbids holding hands or kissing. Is Jinger ready to rebel against this nonsense? View Slideshow: 13 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family “You don’t have to it all listed, like a set of rules,” she told the cameras. “It’s more the general idea and letting people around you know.” Jessa Duggar weighed in that there is obviously the natural, physical pull to be close, which is why you needed to “let people help you.” In other words, chaperone to stop full-frontal hugs. Ben and Jessa offered to do just that, chaperoning Jinger and Jeremy, who later went to dinner at the Duggar compound and held his own. Jana Duggar, the eldest daughter of the family, could see them getting married, but her twin, John David, was still “checking him out.” Joseph reiterated that the brothers are “not going to just hand over” their sister to anybody, and would be watching Vuolo like a hawk. Such an intimidating bunch of virgins. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Photos: From Childhood to Courtship! Jill and Derick Dillard, who witnessed the couple’s first meeting on a mission trip, noticed them paying special attention to each other. Having done the long distance thing, they certainly know how it goes and how challenging it can be, but Jinger seems up to the task. Meanwhile, a bunch of the siblings decided to go on a trip to learn survival prowess; Jinger attended with a Vuolo jersey-wrapped pillow. Yes, she made a pillowcase out of one of the former soccer pro’s old jerseys. Kinda tells you all you need to know right there, right? Naturally, love-struck Jinger spent most of the car ride to the survival camp on FaceTime with Jeremy and worrying about losing reception. Ah, love in the 21st Century. Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard on Missionary Life: So Much Rape, Kidnapping & Murder! In non-Jinger-related updates, Jessa, Ben and baby Spurgeon hit the gym, where Ben talked about one of the latest big ideas he has. With the aid of trainer Steve Conley, a family friend, he’s thinking of establishing a football camp to help at-risk youth. Would be cool. As for their workout, Seewald seemed to exert himself slightly more than Jessa or Spurgeon, but we’ll give the latter duo a pass on that. Meanwhile, Jill’s parents gave her air conditioning units so she and Derick could keep their windows and doors closed, which was huge. Not only for the obvious climate control and creature comforts involved, but because violent crime happens all the time in El Salvador. “You have to strike a balance,” Derick said of managing safety risks and isolating themselves from the people they were there to help. Derick said sexual assault is prevalent in Central America, along with kidnapping and murder, and that as Americans, they are targets. Yikes.

Ray J on Kanye West: What a Hypocrite!

Ray J hit it first, and now Ray J is hitting back at Kanye West. On Sunday night, Kanye took to the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards and did what Kanye does best. The rapper rambled and ranted and made little to no sense, while saying things no other celebrity would ever dare to say. “I am Kanye West, and that feels really great to say, especially this year. I came here to present my new video, but before I do that, Im’ma talk,” West said prior to giving viewers a preview of his “Fade” video. He then referenced his “Famous” video, which depicted a multitude of stars from all walks in life… naked and in bed together. What was his motivation for this idea? “For people to understand just how blessed we are, it was an expression of our now, our fame right now, us on the inside of the TV,” Kanye explained. He added: “Just the audacity to put Anna Wintour next to Donald Trump – I put Ray J in there, bro!” Kanye West at the VMAs: I Love Taylor Swift! And Ray J! Ah, yes, Ray J. Ray J is the man who gave it to Kim Kardashian  on camera. Ray J is the man who still profits, to this day , from the Kim Kardashian sex tape. But Ray J is also the man who has brought up the sex day in the past, only to be slammed by Kanye. Remember the hilarious Ray J single ” I Hit It First ?” The song that bragged about how… well… Ray J hit Kim first, in the sexual sense of that word? The singer released a track that basically dubbed Kim as sloppy seconds for Kanye. And West wasn’t exactly laughing over his wife’s ex-boyfriend at that time. Ray J – “I Hit It First” (Official Music Video) In response, West slammed the Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood star as “Brandy’s little sister,” saying Ray J was “lame” for actually releasing such a single. (Was it lame? Maybe. A little. Was it also hilarious? Heck yes!) So then Kanye figured out a way to profit himself over the Kim Kardashian sex tape and has decided to laugh about it? To turn it into a joke? To make it seem like he’s just so cool and chill that he’ll drop a reference to his wife’s sex tape partner in front of millions of viewers? Now THAT is lame, Ray J is reportedly telling friends. According to TMZ, Ray J thinks Kanye is being hypocritical by dissing him one second; and then embracing the sex tape himself when it serves his purposes. TMZ also hears that Ray J is also angry at Kim. She trashed him after he released “I Hit it First,” but then she sat there smiling like crazy at the Video Music Awards when West referred to the amateur porn that has made her millions. Some rapper named Wack 100, meanwhile, had the best response of all to Kanye’s “Famous” music video. “Did they show him with his dick in [Kanye’s] wife?” the rapper asked TMZ when approached about the footage this summer. “If they didn’t show Ray J with his dick in Kim Kardashian’s mouth, tell Kanye to go back and reshoot that sh-t,” he added. This is the best, isn’t it? How amazing is it that we’re STILL talking about the time Ray J stuck his allegedly large penis inside of Kim Kardashian on video?!?
