Jenelle Evans has been in rare form lately, folks. Actually, at this point, she's been behaving so erratically for so long that there's really nothing rare about it. Fresh off the controversy over her decision not to evacuate for Hurricane Florence , Jenelle finds herself in the eye of another storm. This time, it's a mini-scandal surrounding her ever-changing appearance, and it's yet another reminder of the extent to which the mother of three has gone off the deep end … 1. The New Jenelle Jenelle posted this photo to Instagram recently, and fans were quick to call her out for her latest cosmetic procedure. 2. “So Plastic!” That was the remark made by one of Jenelle’s followers that touched off a heated debate in the comments section. 3. The Big Question Some fans didn’t believe Jenelle had gotten any work done, and to be fair, her latest alteration is pretty subtle. 4. It’s All in the Lips “Lay off the lip injections,” one fan wrote. On Facebook and Reddit, fans posted photos which they claimed showed that Jenelle’s fondness for lip injections was taking its toll. 5. She Looks Fine to Us! Critics of Jenelle’s appearance have pointed to this screenshot from Teen Mom 2 as evidence that her frequent cosmetic procedures are having an undesirable effect. 6. Everyone’s a Critic These people say the constant change in the size of Jenelle’s lips has created a “deflated” look around her mouth. And naturally, their criticism doesn’t end there … View Slideshow
It remains very hard to believe, but it’s true: Bristol Palin is now part of the Teen Mom OG family . And the timing seemingly could not be better for the controversial mother of three, considering she may now be persona non grata within her own family! According to Radar Online, Bristol’s younger sister, Willow, got married this past Saturday to someone named Ricky Bailey in Alaska. Mother Sarah Palin wrote on Instagram that the ceremony and reception “couldn’t be more perfect!!!” because the bride and groom were surrounded by “so much love ~ and surrounded by the mutual love & support of cherished friends & family… just PERFECT.” But was it? Was it really ? Maybe not. An insider tells Radar that Bristol actually no-showed the big day after getting into a massive fight with Willow. What would have caused one sister to miss the wedding of another sister? In this case, the dangerous past of a different sibling. “ Bristol started a huge fight with Willow because her kids aren’t supposed to be around Track,” *a source close to the Palins told Radar, referencing Bristol and Willow’s 29-year old brother. He was arrested last month for domestic violence, making the third time in as many years he’d been booked on this same awful charge. (*Yes, these are the real names of actual people.) The source explained that Bristol’s ex-husband, Dakota Meyer, prohibited their kids from speaking with Track many months ago. He ended up missing out on the wedidng himself due to his arrest the evening prior, but the mere invitation was enough to set Bristol off. “Bristol was supposed to give a speech at the wedding,” the insider said. “Instead she packed up her kids and left, leaving Willow behind.” YIKES! Talk about awkward, huh? On Sunday, Bristol shared videos of her kids running around a soccer field and titled the footage “My world.” Then, earlier today, she shared a picture of herself and Meyer in the car (both looking mighty perturbed) and teased this evening’s Teen Mom OG Season 8 premiere in the caption. “My story begins tonight. don’t miss the 90-minute premiere… and my FIRST EPISODE of #TeenMomOG starting at 9/8c on @MTV,” she wrote, acting as if the wedding snub never happened.” Bristol was announced as a Teen Mom OG cast addition several weeks ago — but fans of the franchise remain in shock. The daughter of the former Vice Presidential candidate is really now on Teen Mom OG?!? Tyler Baltierra recently acknowledged that this situation is more than just a little unusual . Do I think it’s weird as hell? Absolutely. Do I think it’s a really, like, not a good decision for the franchise? Yeah. But that’s out of my control,” Tyler said on a podcast. For the most part, however, Palin’s upcoming co-stars have taken some issue with how MTV never informed them of the decision to hire Bristol until the network also informed the public. But they have also said Bristol herself seems totally cool. Check out a few of their initial reactions below: View Slideshow: Teen Mom OGs Dish on Newbies: What Do They Think of Bristol and Cheyenne?
Ashley Darby is speaking out now that her husband Michael Darby has been accused of sexual assault . Not only is the The Real Housewives of Potomac star standing by her man, she’s claiming that charges have not even been filed. She also announces that her husband has not been suspended by Bravo. Is she telling the truth? Ashley Darby took to her Instagram Story on Saturday to affirm her support her embattled husband. “No charges filed,” she writes. “No arrest made.” “No Bravo suspension,” she continues. “No worries.” She then promises fans: “We’ll keep you posted.” That is very interesting … considering that two of those claims are in conflict with reports. TMZ ‘s report, which we are inclined to believe, says that Darby has been charged with felony assault. (He has also been charged with misdemeanor improper sexual contact) He has also been suspended by Truly Original, the production company behind The Real Housewives of Potomac. And he has been suspended by Bravo, who say that they have procedures to follow when allegations of this nature are made. It is curious that Ashley would make an announcement that is contrary to what we’ve heard. As you may recall, these allegations — reported to police within days of the October 1 incident — were made by a cameraman, Orville Palmer. According to his accusation, Michael Darby began by giving him what he perceived to be a flirtatious look. On its own, that’s a pretty subjective perception, and almost never a crime. He says that Darby then grabbed and groped his butt. He says that he put down the camera and demanded that Darby stop touching his butt. There was another alleged incident, days before, in which Michael Darby is said to have kicked him in the butt. Kicking someone’s butt is not necessarily sexual in nature, but consider this: One: you should not be touching anyone’s posterior without permission. Two: kicking a butt might not be inherently sexual, but it’s inherently assault. Stop it. As we mentioned, Palmer filed charges just days after the October 1 incident. Some may feel a surge of anger towards Ashley for standing by her husband when these allegations have been made. We should remember that blame for misdeeds — alleged or proven — should not be misplaced to a person’s family or loved ones. Ashley, like so many people who are close to those who are accused of predatory behavior, is struggling to reconcile the man she knows with what she has now heard. She may believe that this is over a vendetta against her husband, or somehow a ploy to make money. Be angry with her for her claims that are contrary to reports, if you like, but not every wife is likely to file for divorce when allegations surface. What makes this story a little complicated is that this alleged sexual assault case is that this is a married man who is accused of groping another man. Obviously, not all sex crimes are about attraction, but a lot of people find that surprising and even difficult to accept. There have been other famous man-on-man assault stories. The most famous among them are probably Brendan Fraiser and Terry Crews . No one has the right to touch another person without their consent. It is neither “gay” nor “homophobic” to report a sexual assault committed by one man upon another. Crimes are crimes. View Slideshow: Hollywood Sex Scandal: Who’s Been Caught? Accused? Fired?
Cardi B often talks about violence. Remember the time she threatened to straight up murder Nicki Minaj ? But the artist now finds herself in a potentially huge amount of trouble due to an incident at a New York City strip club on August 29 in which she’s accused of inciting actual violence. Cardi B turned herself into authorities in the Big Apple on Monday morning and was subsequently arrested and charged with two misdemeanors, assault and reckless endangerment. She posed for mug shot taken and was fingerprinted; the whole bax of legal wax and everything. The rapper is scheduled to be arraigned on October 29. The arrest stems from the allegation that Cardi organized an attack on two bartenders (sisters Jade and Baddie Gi) at Angels Strip Club Queens, an incident during which both women were injured, but refused medical treatment. So they clearly were not badly injured. The siblings have a longstanding beef with Cardi because the superstar believes Jade slept with Cardi’s husband, Offset. (Offset, of course, had three kids prior to getting together with Cardi has admittedly cheated on Cardi as well; so let’s hope she doesn’t start feuds with every woman who has ridden Offset raw. It may take a very long while.) As The Hollywood Gossip wrote about this summer, Cardi B is accused of ordering members of her entourage to hurl bottles and chairs in the direction of the aforementioned bartenders. Jade has said that five people close to Cardi also attacked her two weeks prior to this strip club confrontation. Back in June, meanwhile, Cardi reportedly got in the faces of Jade and Baddie G at a hotel in Atlanta. A source close to Cardi tells TMZ the attack was “spontaneous” and was triggered after someone threw a drink. They say nothing was premeditated and that the singer didn’t enter the establishment with an intent on seeking revenge against one of Offset’s previous sexual conquests. But a lawyer for the alleged victims has said the following of Cardi B: “She continues to threaten them and clearly thinks her celebrity status is going to get her out of this. “But it doesn’t matter if her name is Cardi B or Carl B … if she commits violent assaults she will be brought to justice.” Conversely, Jeff Kern, an attorney for the rapper, said outside a police station in Queens today that he’s “aware of no evidence” that Cardi B “caused anybody any harm.” The artist just performed at the Global Citizen Festival in New York’s Central Park on Saturday and turned herself in at the Flushing precinct a little before 10 a.m., according to local news outlets. Her face was covered by several umbrellas as she left a vehicle and walked inside; she did not respond to reporters’ questions. Cardi notoriously went after Minaj at a New York City Fashion event just under a month ago, as you can see here: Cardi B ATTACKS Nicki Minaj! Watch the Crazy Footage! This is a woman who is clearly not afraid to get physical. And who is apparently triggered by New York City for some reason. We’ll update this story with more news and/or information when it breaks.
In court, Angelina Jolie has slammed Brad Pitt for being a deadbeat dad, and clarified publicly that a loan is not child support . The fighting during their messy divorce has reached a turning point. Insiders say that Brad is no longer interested in reconciliation with Angelina. He just wants his kids. “Brad couldn’t care less about Angelina supposedly missing him or regretting filing for divorce,” an insider reveals to HollywoodLife . “That relationship,” the source continues. “Is well and truly over as far as he’s concerned.” The rest of us have known that since late 2016, so it’s great to hear that he’s figured it out. “And,” the insider continues. “Brad has zero desire to revisit it, and give it a second shot.” That sounds like it’s best for everyone involved — Brad, Angelina, and especially the children. “The past couple of years have been a living hell for Brad,” the source shares. “And,” the insider shares. “It’s made him question if he ever actually, truly, knew the real Angelina.” That is curious, since the upsetting circumstances that led Angelina to file for divorce left many former fans feeling that way about him. The source explains that it’s because “because he never imagined that the woman he fell in love with and married …” The insider continues: “… could behave in the way she has toward him.” “But he’s made his peace with it now,” the source adds. “And,” the insider continues. “He’s moved on.” Not just with Neri Oxman , but emotionally. It sounds like he’s accepted that life is never going back to the way that it was. Brad apparently has a new priority. “All that he’s focused on is securing access to his kids,” the source reveals. It is these children, the insider explains, “who are absolutely everything to Brad.” We’re sure that Brad, like so many people, wishes that he hadn’t done whatever he did on that plane to get Angelina to report him to the FBI for child abuse. Curiously, an inside source says that it’s now Angelina who wishes things were a little different. “The further Angelina gets from their split,” the source claims. “The more she thinks about Brad.” “And,” the insider continues, Angelina allegedly “misses having him in her life.” It’s normal to occassionally wax nostalgic about past relationships, even ones that failed spectacularly and which you know you ended for the right reasons. But this source says that Angelina finds herself thinking these thoughts “on a daily basis.” This is so worrisome to hear. “Lately,” the insider claims. “There are times when Angelina feels major regrets over ending things with Brad.” Even worse, the source says that “there are days she can’t help but question if she made the right choices for her family.” Those who have gone through difficult divorces know that sometimes, you wonder if it would have been best to just accept and ignore your situation. “The more her anger at him fades,” the source alleges. “The more she misses him.” We have to say that we have a hard time accepting the report about Angelina. Oh, we’re willing to believe that Brad is angry and perhaps bitter and no longer wants to try vainly to rekindle what he and Angelina once had. But the source claims to know Angelina’s thoughts. We’re sure that Angelina feels a lot of conflicting emotions about her history with Brad. But in the end, she probably knows that she did the right thing.

Bayleigh Dayton and Swaggy C concluded Big Brother Season 20 on quite a high note: On Wednesday evening, the reality star shocked viewers by getting engaged on an emotional and intense finale. Two days later, however, the pair got together for a YouTube video and confessed that this major high followed a tragic low just a few weeks earlier. Bayleigh miscarried Swaggy's baby while the CBS series was in the middle of filming. “During our time in the Big Brother house, I did conceive a little baby, but unfortunately — and we don't know why — but I had a miscarriage in the jury house,” Dayton says in the video featured here, adding; “It's something that we're still figuring out. We actually just got a chance to talk to each other about it for the first time today.” The news came as a surprise, it sounds like, but a welcome one. “I would've been ecstatic if I were to have a baby,” Bayleigh continued. “It would've been a blessing, and we were both really excited when we found out. And we were both really, really upset when we found out we lost it. [Swaggy] knew that I lost the baby before he decided to propose, and he still decided to propose. “So the whole people saying, 'He's only proposing 'cause I'm pregnant' thing — that's hurtful, so stop.” Swaggy reiterated this point when it was his turn to speak. “People keep saying that I'm proposing because she's pregnant, and that's not the case at all,” he said. “But going through that process and creating a child but also losing a child with her made me realize that this is my girl, and I'm going to marry her. “I don't care that we've only been together for 23 days. I don't care. This is the one I wanna spend the rest of my life with.” Dayton and Swaggy became the first stars to ever get engaged on a Big Brother finale. And, we'd have to assume, the first stars to suffer this sort of tragedy during filming as well. As a caption to the video, Swaggy wrote the following: We know the rumors going around. Bayleigh and I were so excited to be parents. 6 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately, circumstances happen and we had a miscarriage. I wanna thank the HIVE for taking care of my Fiancé in the jury house during her hospital visits, and I wanna thank both of our families for keeping me sane afterwards. Also, a thanks to CBS for making sure she was taken care of properly. Love you all. Thank you for your support. Check out the emotional footage now.
By now, you've surely heard the big Teen Mom OG news, right? And no, we're not talking about the additions of Cheyenne Floyd and Bristol Palin to the cast. We're talking, of course, about Catelynn Lowell's pregnancy! Yep, after having a miscarriage last year that was so traumatizing it caused her to contemplate suicide, Catelynn is pregnant with what she's been calling her “rainbow baby.” She and husband Tyler Baltierra seem very, very excited about adding another member to their family, and it's been pretty cute to see. So far, we know that the baby is due on March 6th , and although there's been no official gender reveals, reports claim that they're having another girl. And thanks to this adorable new Teen Mom OG sneak peek, we know that their daughter Nova is pumped about being a big sister! The clip starts off with Catelynn and Nova making cupcakes while Tyler sits at the table nearby. Cate tells Nova that some of their cupcakes are going to be pink and others are going to be blue, then asks her if she knows why they're making them that way. Nova honestly just seems psyched about cupcakes in general, so Catelynn asks her if she knows why they're having a party the next day. “Mommy has a baby in her belly,” she explains to her, “and tomorrow the party is because we're going to find out if it's a little girl or a little boy.” “Yeah!” Nova responds, soaking up the news. Cate asks her if she'd rather have a little brother or sister, and Nova doesn't hesitate to say she'd prefer a sister. Tyler, who's always been open about how much he wants a son, makes a face, then asks her “What if it's a boy?” Catelynn asks her if she'd be happy with a little brother too, and she says she would, because she's precious and perfect. They start talking to Nova about babies, and they tell her babies cry a lot. “Yeah, then you just say 'shh,'” Nova says, again, because she is too cute for this world. She then says that she's going to rock the baby and feed it bottles and be a big sister. “He's so cute!” she exclaims. “I love him!” The whole thing is really just painfully adorable, it really is. It's also nice to see a lighthearted moment with the family, after how heavy things got for them last season. Some people think that Catelynn and Tyler rushed into having another baby , that they should have waited longer after her trips to rehab. But one thing is for sure, and that is that Nova is going to be the best big sister. Check out the sweet moment in the video below:
Thankfully, the impact of Hurricane Florence on the Carolinas wasn't as disastrous as some meteorologists predicted, but the storm still devastated many areas along the Carolina coast. To the shock of many Teen Mom 2 fans, Jenelle Evans refused to evacuate ahead of Florence, but fortunately, her neighborhood avoided the brunt of the hurricane's impact. But at this point, Jenelle is probably still wishing she had gotten out of Dodge for a few days, as her conduct in the wake of the storm is being heavily scrutinized these days. And the latest accusation against her is so bizarre that we would never believe it — were it not for the fact that this is Jenelle Evans we're talking about … 1. It’s a Hurricane, Dude! Jenelle refused to heed the advice of experts, local authorities, and hundreds of fans, all of whom encouraged her to head for safer territory as Florence prepared to make landfall. 2. Braving the Storm Jenelle and her family stuck it out through the storm, all the while posting pics of their relatively unaffected area, seemingly as a middle finger to the haters. 3. The Aftermath Eventually, Jenelle came to realize that even though her beloved “Land” survived unscathed, the hurricane was no laughing matter for many of her neighbors. 4. Helping or Hurting? In the wake of the hurricane, Jenelle’s behavior has been intensely scrutinized, as she’s claimed that she and her husband are helping their neighborhoods, despite not offering any evidence to that effect. 5. Classic Jenelle Despite revealing that she and her family quickly ran out of food and gas, Jenelle has also downplayed her area’s plight by using a “#whathurricane?” hashtag and boasting, “With this storm I’m getting skinner [sic], y’all.” 6. Here We Go … Now, she’s facing some truly bizarre allegations. And as usual, she’s keeping a low profile and hoping this whole thing (no pun intended) blows over … View Slideshow
Back in June, Bachelor Villain (or perhaps misunderstood Bachelor Hero?) Corinne Olympios lamented that The Bachelorette totally sucks now . Well, it sounds like she’s not feeling super optimistic about The Bachelor , either, with Colton Underwood as the leading man . Not only does she think that someone else would be better, but she doesn’t buy Colton’s claim to be a virgin for a second . On Wednesday, September 26, Corinne Olympios did an interview on the Domenick Nati Show. And she has some doubts about the indecisive jock whom ABC has selected as the next Bachelor. “I just have some insincere feelings I get from him,” Corinne explains. “So, we’ll see how that pans out,” Corinne says before explaining what she thinks is so insincere about him. “I do think that [his virginity] was a lie,” Corinne admits. “I don’t know why, but I just don’t buy it.” Corinne isn’t convinced that Colton is completely honest, but she shares who her pick for the Bachelor would have been. “I liked Blake a lot,” she shares. “I totally thought it should have been Blake.” Blake Horstmann is a very popular dude. That said, Corinne says that she totally understands why the producers settled on Colton. “But, you know, I think Colton was a crowd favorite,” Corinne acknowledges. “And that’s really what they’re interested in.” Corinne also has some advice for Colton — or for anyone else who might fill those shoes. “Don’t let the fame get to your head,” Corinne advises. She would know — she’s been in the orbits of a lot of men from the Bachelor franchise. Corinne shares: “I don’t like guys that get cocky after that.” Honestly, who does? Colton’s virginity could change a lot about this upcoming season of The Bachelor . But, as he recently explained to Ellen, it won’t be as awkward as people make it out to be. “You could do more in the fantasy suites than just have sex,” Colton points out. A lot of Bachelor couples use the fantasy suites to speak without a camera for the first time. That can be important. Or, as Colton suggests: “I mean, we could play board games, we could hang out.” We don’t necessarily suggest that Colton play a board game. He and those final candidates to become his fiancee should really get to know one another. Though many would be horrified at the idea of becoming engaged to someone without having sex first, we’re not saying that sex is mandatory. Instead, he and the women can talk one-on-one without cameras or judgment. That could really help him to make a decision. And, quite frankly, it could help the women decide if they want to accept his potential proposal. After a while, they might decide that they, too, don’t think that he’s being entirely honest.

It’s been a rough year for Maci Bookout. The Teen Mom OG fan favorite has been forced to deal with the nightmare of trying to keep her family safe from her increasingly troubled ex, Ryan Edwards, while at the same time ensuring that 9-year-old Bentley, her son with Edwards, continues to have a relationship with his father. On top of being forced to file for a restraining order that temporarily prevented Edwards from contacting Bentley , Maci has grappled with some deeply painful setbacks in her efforts to expand her family. Late last year, Bookout suffered a miscarriage , and she spoke about the painful ordeal in a memorable episode of TMOG . But the tragedy hasn’t deterred Maci or her husband Taylor McKinney from working toward welcoming a new family member. The McKinneys have been considering the possibility of adoption for several years, and this week, Maci gave a candid interview in which she revealed that they’re closer than ever to “We are definitely still wanting to adopt. We don’t really have, like, a timeframe or, like, an exact answer,” Bookout told Us Weekly . “I feel like when we know to start the process, we will start it, but for now we’re happy with where we’re at.” Needless to say, fans were pleased to hear Maci speaking about her future with such excitement and optimism after such a difficult year. Equally encouraging is the fact that Maci says she has every intention of working with Ryan and his parents in order to ensure that Bentley has as much support from the adults in his life as possible. “I don’t think that there will ever come a time when we’re unable to co-parent with Jen and Larry,” she told Us . “Mainly because we don’t let our feelings get in the way of what’s important and the relationships that are necessary for Bentley to have. “It’s really just a matter of keeping the line of communication open and also making sure that we aren’t telling too much or giving too much of our feelings or opinions,” she said. “It’s more about information, rather than speaking about his dad because at the end of the day, Ryan is still his dad.” Asked how she and Taylor intend to approach the ongoing problem of Ryan, Maci had this to say: “Neither one of us want to ever put some sort of barrier between the possibility of a better relationship when it comes to Ryan and Bentley.” This is surely been one of the more challenging years of Maci’s life, but her attitude remains a silver lining amidst a number of dark clouds.
