Is Jenelle Evans a good mother? LOL, just kidding. Jenelle basically shot to reality superstardom because she wasn't a good mother — she was actually really, really bad at it. The first season of Teen Mom 2 was an absolute disaster when it came to her scenes, and since then, she's had two more children. Have things gotten better? Sure. But better certainly doesn't mean good. And that's why the latest news concerning Jenelle's reproductive systen is just so, so great. 1. A Sincere Nightmare So Jenelle’s parenting skills … yeah, they’re not so great. 2. Poor Jace After she gave birth to her first child, Jace, when she was 17 years old, and a few months later she lost custody of him to her mother. 3. Come On Now The issue was that she just didn’t understand that you have to, like, take care of a baby — she honestly thought she could leave her newborn at home and party all night because he’d be sleeping anyway. 4. True She once said that Jace didn’t need her because he had her mom, and that was true — Barbara stepped up to take care of him, and she’s never stopped. 5. Sure For several years, Jenelle kept talking about how she was going to get Jace back without ever really putting in any work to reach that goal. Instead, she got arrested several times and developed a heroin addiction. 6. Weird Move She did eventually settle down a little bit — she kicked heroin, at least — but instead of putting her time and energy into getting things together for Jace, she just had another kid with a guy she’d known for a few weeks.

Things aren't looking so good for Jenelle Evans right now. And that's for many, many reasons. But today, let's focus on her custody battle with Nathan Griffith, OK? Because as it turns out, it's not going well for her. Like, it's going so not well that there's actually a real chance she could lose Kaiser … 1. Dude So Jenelle and Nathan’s issues go way, way back — pretty much all the way back to when they first met. 2. Poor Kaiser They were always awful together, and contrary to her belief, having Kaiser didn’t really help things. 3. Yikes They tried to make it work for a little while, and by “make it work” we mean that they accused each other of domestic violence before breaking up for good in August of 2015. 4. Moving Fast A month later, she started dating David Eason, and from what we saw on Teen Mom 2, he wasted no time in being mean to Kaiser. 5. Awww We all remember when he called the poor kid a “screaming little bitch” in that one episode, and things have only gotten worse since then. 6. What a Turn of Events In 2017, Nathan’s mom, Doris, filed for custody of Kaiser. In the documents she filed, she claimed that David was physically abusing Kaiser, and that the boy had told her as much. View Slideshow
If The Bachelorette spoilers are any indication … Hannah Brown may have her heart set on The One already on the new season. If you just look at the venerable franchise's track record, however, Hannah Beast's odds of long-term success are mixed at best. Why do we say that? Isn't it obvious? This is a dating competition throwing two people together under a pretense that is literally impossible to sustain. Can they transition into real life, establish a new normal and make it work? They can, but often times, they fall short of that goal. We have ranked the 14 stars of The Bachelorette based on who was most successful at finding love during her stint as ABC's queen. See how they stack up from worst to first, and see if HB can find what some (if not all) of her predecessors have found … 1. Jen Schefft Bachelorette Jen Schefft broke up with winner Jerry Ferris on the After the Rose special because she just “wasn’t feeling it.” Not even making it to the day after the finale? That’s a low bar set for everyone else. 2. Emily Maynard Emily Maynard and Jef Holm broke up just a few months after his proposal in 2012. He was never the right guy anyway. Should’ve picked Sean Lowe. Not that she or Sean (who is happily married to Catherine Giudici, who he met on The Bachelor) are overthinking it right now. Emily has since married and had a bunch of kids with Tyler Johnson. 3. Andi Dorfman Andi Dorfman found love with Josh Murray on The Bachelorette. Unfortunately, their engagement ended after only six months or so. 4. DeAnna Pappas DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak broke up seven months after their finale aired. She went on to marry Stephen Stagliano, a high school teacher and the twin brother of former Bachelorette contestant Mike Stagliano! 5. Jillian Harris Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski broke up one year after their finale aired. Swiderski later appeared on Bachelor Pad. Jillian now appears on HGTV’s Love it or List it Too. 6. Meredith Phillips Meredith Phillips, the second Bachelorette, chose Ian McKee as her groom. The two broke up just over a year later, with little fanfare. View Slideshow

When Lindsay Lohan’s Beach Club premiered on MTV back in January, the show drew instant comparisons to Vanderpump Rules . This was no accident, of course, as the press releases that led up to the show’s debut encouraged media outlets to make these comparisons between the two series. Superficially, Beach Club and Rules do have a lot in common, as both concern the drunken misadventures of a crew of horny hospitality workers — but that’s where the similarities end. The main thing separating the two shows is the fact that Vanderpump is a strong contender for the best non-scripted series on TV, while Beach Club has been described by some of the nation’s most esteemed critics (us) as ” the kind of trainwreck it’s easy to look away from .” Beach Club ‘s ratings started out low and declined throughout the season, so it remains to be seen if the show will return for a second season. (Smart money says we’ve seen the last of Lindsay’s sand-and-syphilis crew.) But Lindsay remains a subject of public fascination, so the Vanderpump cast are still asked for their thoughts on her failed experiment during interviews. The latest to be hit with the LiLo line of questioning is Scheana Marie, who did not mince words when Page Six asked her about Beach Club at a recent club opening. “My friend Kailah [Casillas] was on it and I watched her episodes, but other than that, it’s boring,” Scheana told the outlet “with a distinct eye-roll.” “It’s never going to be Vanderpump Rules because it was cast — our show is so good because it’s organic; we’re real friends. We’ve all known each other for a decade plus.” Asked if the other VPR cast members share her opinion that Beach Club is just a lame knock-off, Scheana replied, “Everyone.” Hilariously, cast members on Lindsay’s show also roll their eyes at the comparison — because they think Beach Club is the vastly superior series. “They should be so lucky!” clubber Billy Estevez told Page Six. “They work at a little, cheap restaurant in West Hollywood,” Beach Club ‘s resident douche villain Brent Marks chimed in. “Well, I mean it’s kind of expensive though, but I mean we work in Mykonos on an exotic island.” Hilariously, this is not the first time that Lindsay has gotten caught up in Vanderpump -related drama. For years, Jax Taylor has been saying he slept with Lohan , a claim the former actress vehemently denies. Was launching a rip-off and firing Scheana’s friend all part of Lindsay’s revenge strategy? If so, it might go down in history as the most petty and needlessly-elaborate revenge in modern history. View Slideshow: 37 Classic Vanderpump Rules Moments in GIFs

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar have some exciting news to share. Even more exciting than the couple finally signing on to Instagram . And that news is this… … the famous couple is expecting another child!!!!!!! The twosome confirmed this blessed development in an interview with Us Weekly, telling the tabloid in crazy excitement: “We are ready to double the fun at our house! “Being parents has already proven to be a greater joy than we had hoped or imagined. “We love getting to parent together and are loving every moment and milestone. “We are very happy that our little family will welcome a new addition later this year. Children really are a blessing from God!” Kendra and Joe learned this first hand about 10 months ago when they welcomed their first kid, a son named Garrett. No word yet on exactly when Kendra is due or whether she will find out what gender is growing inside her womb, but we’ll be sure to let readers know if the information ever comes out. For the record, Kendra and Joe did learn they were expecting a boy the first time around — so fans may soon be fortunate enough to find out again in this case. This is what they said to Us Weekly upon making that gender announcement: “Wow! We are so happy to learn that our firstborn is a boy! “Our minds are already racing toward all the future memories to be made with this little guy! Most of all, we are already asking God to bless him and help us grow him into a loving and faithful follower of Christ!” Joseph and Kendra got married in 2017. In a video message on their family’s official website, Joe and Kendra were joined by their 10-month-old son, as the father-to-be said the following to his supporters: I was really excited, she really surprised me good this time. I’m not necessarily the emotional type, but I definitely am super thrilled that we’re gonna be having another little one around the house. Kendra adds in this video that they’re looking forward to “just going from one to two and seeing what the adventures hold” as they raise two kids. Just a few weeks ago, astute fans actually suspected that Kendra might be expecting. For what reason? Because they noticed that a Pinterest account, appearing to belong to the TLC star, had started pinning baby announcement ideas. Seriously, right?!? These folks are good! As is so often the case with this family, Kendra isn’t the only Duggar who is pregnant. Her sister-in-law, Jessa Seewald, is also with child. The Arkansas native already – who already has son Spurgeon, 3, and Henry, 2 – told Us Weekly in very early 2019: “We are overjoyed that God has blessed us with a baby, due later this Spring.

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation stars Paul “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino recently sat down with noted plague enthusiast Jenny McCarthy. During the interview, they reveal that Mike Sorrentino's experience in jail has included rubbing elbows with some other famous criminals. Notably, he's become buddies with the scammer responsible for the Fyre Festival catastrophe. “Has he mentioned anything that's bad about it?” Jenny McCarthy asks of Mike Sorrentino's time behind bars. “No,” Vinny answers. “But he is in there with the guy from the Fyre Festival.” “Yep,” Pauly confirms. “And,” Vinny adds. “He's in there with the guy that leaked Jennifer Lawrence's nudes.” He clarifies: “Like, that hacked her phone.” “They play Scrabble together,” Pauly adds. This makes things a little awkward, as Jenny notes that this same scumbag “hacked my phone too!” “You want [Sorrentino] to tell him anything?” Pauly asks. Jenny certainly does. Notorious Fyre Festival scammer Billy McFarland may be extremely famous, but clearly, the phone hacker is personal for Jenny. “I have a whole list of questions for everybody,” Jenny expresses. But her interest zeroes in on the new friendship with McFarland. And Jenny even has some advice for the imprisoned reality star. “Tell Mike he’s got to get as much information on the Fyre Festival,” Jenny insists. She says that, with enough juicy intel: “He can write two books.” The boys agree. “Imagine what he's learning in there,” Vinny remarks. Pauly then jokes: “He's learning how to hack phones!” He is, of course, joking. No one should ever illegally access private photos on another's phone. But prisons are notorious for too often functioning as places where criminals refine their craft rather than reform. Billy McFarland's Fyre Festival was a fascinating catastrophe. It was the subject of two eye-opening documentaries. Netflix's documentary was controversial and arguably funnier. Hulu's doc was a deeper dive into the Fyre Festival and is widely regarded as having been more rigorous. Honestly? Both are good, in part because the disastrous festival is so fascinating. And because most of the victims are rich people who signed up for a rich-people-only festival, a lot of people don't feel bad about how things went down. We almost never say this, but … Jenny McCarthy is right. (About this particular issue … and almost only about this particular issue) Mike could absolutely write a book about his time in prison, and he has a massive fanbase who would be excited to read it. (He could of course hire a ghostwriter or even co-author it if he's not confident in his ability to physically write a book; it's not for everyone) Of course, if he writes it about McFarland, there could be some fallout. How much does he value this newfound friendship? Is it enough to turn down an opportunity to sell a bestselling tell-all book? Hopefully, the only thing that Mike is “learning in there” is a hard lesson that white collar crimes are still, you know, crimes. Vinny and Pauly were joking about him picking up new illegal skills. It's good to hear that Mike isn't miserable over his prison sentence, but he can't genuinely be having fun. Once he's out, he'll be happy to never again find himself in this … situation.
