Married at First Sight Premiere: Who Got Hitched?

Eight people. Four couples. One ridiculous reality show that craps all over the sacred concept of marriage. Yup: Married at First Sight returned with new episodes on Tuesday night! On yesterday’s Season 8 premiere, viewers met  Kate Sisk and Luke Cuccurullo , the former of whom s just dying to fall in love and the latter of whom runs a speed dating company. So he’s frequently around new couples and is familiar with the world of meeting someone and quickly trying to establish a connection with this person. Both parties were psyched to exchange vows. On his wedding day, Luke realized that a woman in the crowd actually attended one of his speed dating events. Then, when Kate headed down the aisle, he whispered to his groomsmen that he had actually met this woman before. Weird, right? But also all we know for now, as Luke looked concerned over this revelation, yet fans will need to wait until next week to see if he’s happy with his decision to marry Kate. We now turn to Jasmine McGriff and Will Guess . McGriff was unable to fully enjoy her nuptials because her family disapproved of this entire process. They were very traditional and, understandably, acted aghast that Jasmine was actually going through with marrying someone she just met. She was overwhelmed. She was stressed. She was questioning her decision-making process… … and then she met Guess. Almost immediately, newlyweds were each cracking jokes and laughing at the absurdity what they were doing; it all felt very natural. “I could see myself falling in love with Jasmine,” Will said. Stephanie Sersen and AJ Vollmoeller , for their part, were both quite energetic and ready to find love. On papter, therefore, they seemed like a great match. Heck, Stephanie even admitted right away that she’d be “devastated” if it didn’t work out… which is somewhat crazy when you consider the set-up here. When the two finally met, Stephanie realized she had never dated someone as outgoing as AJ and said his “enthusiasm is really cute.” The new husband and wife spent the evening talking their affection for partying and drinking, so they seemed to be hitting things off well. We’ll see if it lasts. Finally, we arrive at Keith Dewar and Kristine Killingsworth . One (Keith) is an introvery and the other (Kristine) is rather conservative, so they felt that it was important to let loose before their wedding at their bachelor and bachelorette parties. They just had to get it all out, you know? “I would love somebody to pull me out of this little funk that I’m in,” Keith said, not exactly inspiring confidence that he’s prepared for marriage. In the end, both spouses-to-be drank a lot of alcohol and enjoyed their friends – and a few strippers – the night before they were tied down. For life? Or just for a few weeks? We’ll be tuning in this season to find out!

David Eason Closes Out 2018 With Homophobic Facebook Rant

In a year loaded with awful people, we'd like to make the case for David Eason as the Very Worst Person of 2018. We know there are people who did far more damage over the course of the past 12 months, but most of them have accrued a fair bit of power and influence over the course of their lives. David has taken great strides toward making the world a worse place this year, despite having no money of his own and being one divorce filing away from total obscurity. It's impressive in a deeply depressing/infuriating sort of way. And now, David is closing out 2018 with more of the bigoted nonsense he's been spewing all year. Take a look: 1. Dave the Douche David has been awful for as long as we’ve known about him. But he hit new lows in 2018. 2. Multiple Rock Bottoms Eason effed up so consistently and colossally in 2018 that it’s impossible to choose a single low point. 3. Not the Brightest Bulb Of course, David’s shock at receiving a visit from the Secret Service after issuing violent threats toward the president and other elected officials springs immediately to mind. 4. Outdoing Himself But in these final weeks of 2018, David has been finding new and innovative ways to prove to the world he’s truly a waste of oxygen. 5. A Man Without a Platform Once he got booted off Instagram for that pesky “threatening to kill the president” kerfuffle, David began trying to make a name for himself on Facebook and YouTube. 6. How Does He Do It? This led to brand new kinds of bad decisions, such as when David decided to film himself illegally towing a stranger’s truck. View Slideshow

Kanye West to Twitter: Stop Following My Wife on Instagram!

We probably don’t need to tell that Kanye West has had quite a year. And to be clear, we don’t mean that in a good way. At all. Whether he was describing slavery as a choice or fantasizing about playing catch with Donald Trump, Yeezy found new and interesting ways to baffle and infuriate the masses in 2018. West swore off politics back in October, but that doesn’t mean he’s done being bonkers on social media. No, these past few weeks, Kanye has been devoting his attention to a bizarre feud with Drake . Although we’re not sure if “feud” is the right word, as it seems to be a pretty one-sided fixation on Kanye’s part. Anyway, it’s always a dangerous game guessing what’s going on in Kanye’s head, but as far as we can tell, the rapper’s final (?) tirade of 2018 is a result of his ongoing anger toward Drizzy. It all started with this all-time bonkers tweet. Either that’s a reference to the rumors that Drake had sex with Kim Kardashian , or Kanye really doesn’t understand his wife’s career, and that comment is directed at all of Twitter. Either way, with that, he was off. Kanye’s tweets ranged from the vaguely threatening (“See when you care about your family you don’t let no man push you to do nothing that could risk your freedom”) to the amusingly asinine (“Tweeting is legal and also therapeutic”). As far as we can tell, dude remains deeply pissed at Drake, but there was also a healthy dose of his usual pseudo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo in there as well. What does it all mean? Well, we doubt even Kanye himself could tell you. Whatever the case, it’s a reminder that you can safely anticipate even more insanity from hip-hop’s most unstable artist in 2019. As a send-off for his most memorable year yet, Kanye concluded today’s rant with this nugget of wisdom: “If I got any cooler I would freeze to death.” Carry that energy into the new year, folks.

These Were the 18 Best Celebrities of 2018

For the record, the following is not a list of our favorite celebrities from 2018. Or even our least favorite celebrities. You might say it's somewhere in between. We adore some of the folks included below and we abhor others. But there can be no denying the impact they had on popular culture over the past 12 months, which is why this is a rundown of the 18 “best” celebrities over this latest calendear year. Who sits at #1? You're moments away from finding out… 19. Donald Trump Look, if you’re talking about the star who was heard from the most in 2018, and who was discussed the most, this traitorous President is clearly the only answer. But we can’t put someone who is number-one in the heart of Vladimir Putin atop our list. So we’ll just mention Trump here, but place him as low as possible. 18. Bill Cosby Or perhaps we should just called him inmate number “NN7687.” 17. Jenelle Evans and David Eason We could almost separate these two, they each stirred up so much controversy in 2018. But if Evans won’t come to her senses and divorce this bigot, then we’ll follow suit and keep them as one. 16. Lady Gaga This star herself was not born in 2018. But she was remade as a legitimate actress who could actually win an Oscar. How nuts is that??? 15. Kylie Jenner She’s a mother now. How crazy is that?!?!? 14. Khloe Kardashian She’s also a mother now, as well as a sympathetic figure for having to endure the Tristan Thompson cheating scandal. View Slideshow

Bre Payton, Fox News Commentator, Dies at 26

Bre Payton, a writer for the Federalist and a contributor for Fox News, died on Friday in San Diego. She was 26 years old. Details are still coming in and the exact cause of death is unknown at the moment. “Bre Payton, our beloved staff writer for The Federalist, passed away on Friday in San Diego, California, following a sudden illness,” the online magazine wrote in a statement published on its website last night. The publication added that it was “heartbroken and devastated” over the news, continuing: “Bre brightened the lives of everyone around her,” this same statement said. “She was joyful, hard-working, and compassionate, and she leaves behind friends and colleagues for whom she brought nothing but sweetness and light. Payton also worked for One America News, a conservative outlet on which she would occasionally fill in as a guest host. Discussing the details surrounding Payton’s death, California-based congressional candidate Morgan Murtaugh said she found Payton unresponsive on Thursday and called 911. She then learned the fate of her friend the following day. “Thank you everyone for your prayers,” Murtaugh tweeted, adding: “It is with a heavy heart that I type this. Unfortunately Bre has passed. Please send prayers to her family. Rest in paradise you beautiful soul.” Prior to her passing, Payton was battling the flu and “possibly meningitis,” according to a profile on CaringBridge.org, USA Today reported. Following the tragic news of her death, a number of political figures expressed their sympathy on social media. Here is Meghan McCain, for instance: Ben and I are absolutely gutted and horrified by this news. Our prayers for @Bre_payton and her family. We are less vibrant without her— in every possible way. A wonderful, fearless, vibrant, intelligent young woman. Sending prayers to all of her family and friends during this darkness. Fox News host Shannon Bream also spoke out on Payton’s death writing, “I cannot believe this” and expounding as follows: @Bre_payton was such a beautiful light, smart and funny and kind and talented. Please pray for her broken hearted loved ones, who are undoubtedly reeling. She was far too young. Payton graduated from Patrick Henry College in 2015 with a degree in journalism, according to The Federalist. She joined the news outlet shortly after and quickly moved up to a political commentator featured on Fox News Channel, Fox Business Channel and OANN. The late journalist is survived by her parents George and Cindy Payton as well as her siblings James, Jack, Christina and Cheekie. May she rest in peace.

John-David Duggar (Maybe!) Hints That Abbie Burnett is Pregnant

You know how the saying goes, don’t you? For John-David Duggar and Abbie Burnett, first came love, as they started courting in June of this year. Then came marriage, as the couple exchanged vows in early November . And now comes a baby in a baby carriage? Perhaps, the Internet is speculating, based on the photo John-David shared on Instagram yesterday, following by a possibly revealing caption. For starters, as you can tell, Duggar is covering up his wife’s stomach, maybe because there’s a child growing inside of there and she isn’t ready to show off her bump just yet. More interestingly, however, this is what he wrote along with the cute snapshot. Hope you all had a very merry Christmas! “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 It doesn’t take a giant leap in logic to decipher this quote a certain way, does it? John-David came right out and talked about a child being born. Cue the questions and the comments! “Are y’all expecting?” one fan wrote. “Oooh a baby hint :),” said another. Granted, Duggar and Burnett have been husband and wife for less than two months. But this is the Duggar family, folks. They get right to baby-making as soon as those vows are exchanged. Cases in point: John-David’s sister Joy-Anna, and his sister-in-law, Kendra, both got pregnant on their honeymoons. For now, however, neither Duggar nor Burnett are saying anything else on the topic. They’re just focused, publicly, on their new marriage and all the joys it has brought them to date. “It little surreal because I’ve dreamed about [seeing her in a wedding gown] ever since I met Abbie,” Duggar said in a video the newlyweds filmed prior to even taking off their wedding attire last month. He added at the time that the pair’s only real immediate plans involved “serving God together and spending time together.” This time may have been without any clothes on and without any protection being used to prevent a pregnancy. As for their wedding itself? “We are so excited to be married!” the stars told Us Weekly very soon after it transpired, saying of the event: “It was a beautiful moment and we so appreciate our friends and family for sharing this day with us. Most of all we are thankful to Christ for bringing us together. “This is going to be an amazing journey!” And we can’t wait to be along for the ride!

Jessa Duggar Sticks It to Dumb Person Who Trolled Her Niece

How many times must Jessa Duggar prove this point, Internet users? She simply is not here for any of your judgmental BS. Just a month ago, if you recall, Duggar showed some impressive snark when she clapped back at someone who mocked her family’s choice of restaurants. In response to this individual asking whether “you guys ever eat anywhere besides Marketplace Grill,” a frequent Duggar family destination in Arkansas, Jessa simply replied: No we don’t. Not exactly overly crude or rude, but Duggar actually deleted the sarcastic retort because it didn’t fit in with her clean and proper brand. Fair enough, we guess. Now, however, Jessa has once again spoken out against some troll on the Internet. And it all started with this seemingly harmless photo below: It features her son, Henry, fighting with his cousin, Meredith, over a toy and it includes a caption that reads in part: “Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Hopefully there is none of this going on at your house. “The gifts are fun, and the food’s gonna be great, but let’s not forget the reason for the season.” Jessa also shared a few Bible verses with this snapshot, but her followers were more concerned with the state of Meredith’s feet than anything else. No, really. We’re not making that up. What’s up with the dirty bottoms, many folks actually asked and wondered, continuing in the tradition of shaming Jessa whenever possible . We can’t really blame her in this case for pushing back a little bit. “Mine looks about the same,” she said in response to a negative comment. “It’s 60 degrees outside today. That’s barefoot weather.” Again: Not exactly a scathing comeback, but this is Jessa Duggar we’re talking about here. The fact that she felt a need to say anything at all proves how fed up she is with strangers focusing on such mundane (read: stupid!) things. She also said: “Yes, it’s Meredith’s toy and Henry was trying to steal it.” Jessa, who is also a mother to a second son named Spurgeon, is all too aware of the criticism her family faces nearly every day on social media. As previously noted, this isn’t the first time she has clapped back at a hater who had something negative to say about her loved ones. Earlier this year, to use another example, Duggar had no patience when some troll criticized her for using the word “training” about raising her kids. This person thought the word ought to be reserved for dogs, not human beings. “We train for occupations, we train for jobs, we hire personal trainers for fitness and we train/teach our kiddos in right behavior in the hopes they will grow up to be caring, thoughtful and responsible adults,” she wrote back, summoning all the sarcasm she could muster and concluding: “But I agree, dogs are not humans. Thank you for making that distinction.” View Slideshow: 19 Scandals & Counting: The Duggar Family’s Most Shameful Moments

Kendall Jenner Just Made Ben Simmons Horny AF

As previously reported, Ben Simmons isn’t just banging inside the paint these days on his way to an average of 9.3 rebounds per game. He’s also still banging Kendall Jenner , that much has been evident for awhile. Following reports of their relationship’s demise in late September , the model and the professional basketball player have continued to see each other, both in public while wearing clothes and in private while wearing nothing at all. They’ve just managed to mostly keep this romance on the down low. Until now! On Wednesday, December 26, the reality star shared a new glamour shot to her Instagram that garnered some major attention. The black and white portrait (below) depicted the 23-year-old framing her face with her hands and quickly amassed more than two million Likes, along with thousands of comments. But one of these remarks has gone far more viral than any other. Despite Simmons having never really acknowledged his connection with Jenner, he responded to this image by dropping two, flirty, drooling face emojis at the bottom of the photo. You can see his much-discussed reply above. “Kendall and Ben have been making more of an effort in their relationship recently, and have been seeing each other regularly for the last month now,” a source told E! News last month, adding: “They both are very busy with their careers, but have always been in touch.” Jenner, of course, is a legitimate model. She travels the world on a near-monthly basis, walking runways and showing off clothing on behalf of various famous designers. Simmons, meanwhile, plays point guard for the Philadelphia 76ers. To go along with the aforementioned rebound total each game, he averages 16 points per contest and 7.9 assists, although his outside shooting remains a mess. It’s essentially non-existent. As for that supposed split? As for what happened this fall? “They never had a falling out, it was just always hard for Kendall because of her work schedule,” reports E!. “They reconnected when Ben was in town recently and have been seeing each other since.” A few weeks ago, Kendall was spotted at a game between the 76ers and the Washington Wizards, although her job often makes it difficult for her attend her boyfriend’s matchups. Because each is so busy and because each is so frequently traveling, Jenner and Simmons aren’t exclusive. They aren’t claiming to be serious. But they are very clearly into each other, as Ben’s Instagram comment above suggests, and are very clearly having a blast. “There’s nothing official between Ben and Kendall,” a second source concludes to E! News. “They aren’t boyfriend and girlfriend. View Slideshow: Kendall Jenner Nude Photos Leak, Pathetic Body-Shaming Ensues

Jenelle Evans: Encouraging Kids to Burn Everything as Life Falls Apart

We imagine the Eason family is looking forward to the end of 2018 and towards a new beginning in the new year. Well, we’d imagine they’d be thinking that way if they had even the tiniest little bit of sense. But we’re talking about Jenelle Evans and David Eason here. Sense is not really something they have in their heads. Yep, it’s pretty much just all ignorance and delusions and weed in there. See, things have just been going really, really badly for Jenelle and David this year. He was fired from Teen Mom 2 in February after going on a homophobic rant on Twitter, and that kicked off the huge downward spiral. After that, Jenelle refused to film for a while, and after she finally wrapped up filming that season, it took her several weeks to sign a new contract . Because she’s so codependent that she couldn’t imagine doing her job without her husband directly by her side. Let’s see, after that, Jenelle nearly got herself killed when she followed a stranger back to his house and pulled a gun on him in a fit of road rage . She then nearly lost custody of Kaiser when she and David were suspected of abusing him . Who could forget about that time that she called 911 and sobbed hysterically about how her husband had assaulted her ? More recently, David has been under investigation by the Secret Service for tagging the president in a video in which he shot an assault rifle. And now, on top of everything else, Jenelle could be facing several thousands of dollars in fines for burning the hair care products Kailyn Lowry sent her as a peace offering. Jenelle Evans to Kailyn Lowry: Your Hair Products SUCK! It’s just one great big mess. Their lives, we mean. But since Christmas was just a couple of days ago, Jenelle thought it was the perfect time to start getting the kids in on all the fun. She got Jace a woodburning kit as a gift, because burn everything, right? We don’t know if he specifically asked for this or if Jenelle and/or David just thought it would be neat, but the timing of all this sure is fun. They’re also getting a fair bit of criticism for thinking this gift was a good idea. She disabled the comments when she shared the photo, which is a shame, and she also didn’t link the post to her Twitter like she usually does. It seems like she was aware people would have things to say about this gift, and they did. “The presents Jace has are what David thinks is what he should have,” one person tweeted. “I can’t imagine for a second that Jace asked for them for Christmas, I can’t imagine a kid asking for a wood burning kit.” Another person wrote “But OF COURSE Jenelle and David would buy him a ‘wood burning kit.’ Poor kid is doomed.” There have been a lot of connections made between the gift and Jenelle’s dumb fire tantrum, but as much as we love trashing Jenelle, it’s just not warranted here. Woodburning doesn’t involving setting anything on fire, although it seems that’s what some people think, There’s no actual fire involved at all. With the kit that Jace got, you just take a woodburning pen, let it heat up, then burn designs in wood. There is an issue with this whole thing, of course. The kit is recommended for kids ages 14 and up because the pen gets super, super hot and a kid as young as Jace shouldn’t use it unless he’s under direct supervision. Unfortunately, that’s not really something kids seem to get much of down on the swamp. Just … be safe, Jace, OK? And Kaiser and Ensley and Maryssa, and whatever pets they have at the moment.
