We’re down to two on American Idol . The final two. Phillip Phillips and Jessica Sanchez. One is a young white male who is easy on the eyes and plays the guitar. In other words: the same exact pedigree as the last four winners. The other has a beautiful voice and hasn’t been afraid all year long of tacking such major artists as Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. She’s responsible for the single most memorable American Idol performance of the season. Either would be a worthy champion. Only one will wear the crown next Thursday night. Who do you want it to be?

Troubled Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans has made good on her threat to get fake boobs , and boy is she psyched about it from the looks of this Twitter pic. One of the reality star’s best friends shared a photo from inside the plastic surgeon’s office this morning, with Jenelle right about to go under the knife. The caption: “Ready to go and get new boobies!!!!” Words to live by, people. Words to live by. Thumbs up for a new rack! Woo hoo!! While Jenelle hasn’t said much about her decision to undergo surgery, E! said last month that she simply “got tired of having small breasts” and after much deliberation, “decided on a full ‘C’ cup because she does not want to go too big.” That’s a relief. No word on whether Kieffer Delp is psyched about the new merchandise, or when we can expect revealing pics of the new C-cups on Twitter. Knowing @PBandJenelly_1, we would guess within a couple of weeks at the latest.
Teen Mom 2’s Jenelle Evans is heading to court in an effort to straighten out her life (insert joke here), with priority #1 being to gain custody of her son Jace. Just a few days after breaking up with Gary Head and deleting her Twitter account (@PBandJenelly), she’s hoping for a clean slate as she meets with a judge. Jenelle Evans wants a judge to let her off probation completely, then plans to seek custody of her Jace, currently under control of her mother Barbara. “Jenelle is trying to straighten her life out and the first step she’s taking is requesting that a judge let her out of probation,” her attorney Dustin Sullivan said. “Jenelle has actually been doing really well,” Sullivan added. “She is doing everything she is supposed to do and I’ve seen a big improvement in her life.” After breaking up with her boyfriend because of alleged abuse, Sullivan said he encouraged Jenelle to take down her Twitter and she took his advice. Her only goal now is to rebuild that relationship with Jace, Sullivan adds. “Nothing has been filed but Jenelle has expressed interest in getting custody of Jace back,” he said. “She would really like to have Jace back with her.” That would mark a dramatic reversal from what we’ve seen on Teen Mom 2 , in which Jenelle fights and yells a lot but is rarely even seen with the tyke. Sullivan said his oft-troubled 20-year-old client would be heading to court April 24 to make the request and he is hopeful that the judge will agree.
Hell hath no fury like Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans scorned, apparently. After watching this YouTube video posted by Evan and dedicated it to now-former BF “Gary Motherf–king Head”, one can’t help but wonder where it all went wrong. One also can’t help but cringe/laugh out loud at the unintentional comedy. A pissed-off Jenelle makes it clear who the video is for, then proceeds to sing, angrily and terribly, along to Red Jumpsuit Apparatus’ “Face Down.” Enjoy: Jenelle Evans Sings For Gary Head “Do you feel like a man when you push her around? Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?” the 20-year-old belts out, among other fitting lyrics. “You cry alone, then he swears he loves you.” “I finally had enough.” Deep . Evans put up the video on Monday, after tweeting that she and Gary Head had split up. “I’m very depressed,” she wrote. “Me and Gary brokeup for good.” She didn’t elaborate, but she’s clearly not too thrilled with him. On the plus side, this is Jenelle Evans , and she didn’t burn his house down. So that’s something. In other Teen Mom 2 news, Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert got married!
Trouble continues to find Teen Mom 2 wild child Jenelle Evans … at least according to Star magazine (we know, we know), which claims she’s on drugs. Like a lot. Tori Rhyne, a close pal of the Oak Island, N.C., native, tells this week’s Star that Evans is dabbling in LSD , “thinking it helps her, but it really doesn’t.” “She does it a lot … she fell in love with it,” Tori said. “It’s just a little sheet she puts on her tongue and waits for it to hit her. Then she gets all weird.” Hilarious quotes aside, it’s somewhat unlikely that Evans is dropping acid – or Ecstasy tablets, or Xanax, or Adderall – as the celebrity gossip magazine also claims. Former boss James Duffy has made similar clams, but she’s currently being drug tested as a condition of her probation. Speaking of which, once probation’s over … “After she gets off, she’s going to smoke a fat blunt, that’s what she told me,” Tori says. “She’s only worried about getting off probation, so she can smoke weed!” Jenelle’s lawyer Dustin Sullivan, who appeared on the most recent season of Teen Mom 2 (obvi), said, “The allegations against my client are absolutely false.” Probably. But with this particular client, you can only be 70-80 percent sure.
Lewisville (S.C.) High School senior Annette McCullough became the subject of criminal investigation after she brutally attacked a Chester (S.C.) High opponent. During the game. It seemed to come out of nowhere. In the midst of a tightly-fought girls soccer match, McCullough fell after a seemingly innocuous foul … and absolutely lost it: High School Soccer Assault There is no video showcasing prior incidents between these two players, yet McCullough reacted viciously to a relatively minor trip that sent her to the ground. The attack, which you can see above, featured hair pulling, punches being rained down on the Chester player before the melee was broken up. Not just one or two of them, either. She went Jenelle Evans on her. Annette McCullough was immediately sent off with a red card and escorted away from the field. Chester County deputies were called to the scene. McCullough, 18, was charged with simple assault. Alan Parker, referee of the match, made clear that this invoked a sense of violence that made it much more troubling than other soccer skirmishes. “Some incidental contact ended in one girl going down and she just got up and started pummeling,” Parker told WBTV. “It’s unfortunate, it really is.” “Contact is a part of soccer, but when you retaliate like that, obviously, there is no place in the game for that. Occasionally you have players that go at it.” “In this case, though, it was just one girl pummeling the other girl. And not just for a moment, she didn’t stop which is even more egregious.”
Looks like Teen Mom 2 is getting 2 perky new cast members. We’re talking about Jenelle Evans ‘ fake breasts here, people! E! reports that the MTV reality star has decided to follow the Teen Mom trend (thank you Farrah Abraham) of enhancing her chest by a few cup sizes. So how big is the Terror from Oak Island going? And why? A source close to Jenelle says simply, “She got tired of having small breasts. Jenelle decided on a full ‘C’ cup because she does not want to go too big.” That’s a relief … don’t want your fake boobs to look too fake. “Jenelle has already had a consultation with a plastic surgeon. Her mom went along for support … they are getting along much better now,” the source adds. If BAHBWAH is game, who are we to complain? Jenelle’s son Jace had no comment, likely because no one asked, or he hasn’t seen his mom in a month. New boy toy Gary Head, however, is stoked: “Gary is all for it. He says it doesn’t matter to him and he supports her decision,” the source reports. In other Jenelle Evans news, Hannah Inman dropped harassment charges against her. Woo. James Duffy is still accusing her of a cyber-stalking campaign, though.
It’s a good day to be Jenelle Evans … for once. The Teen Mom 2 star revealed that the charges pressed by former roommate Hannah Inman have been dropped, leaving her in the clear (at least as of this post). Jenelle was arrested for cyber-stalking earlier this month, one of her three arrests in 2012. Inman had accused her of making threats and harassing phone calls . Apparently no longer. “COURT IS OVER WITH CHARGES WERE DROPPED WITH THE HANNAH CASE. 🙂 she dropped them,” Jenelle tweeted of the good news. Jenelle has more time to not hang out with son Jace now! Nice! Evans was first charged in January after a web of accusations came out between the reality star and Inman involving threats and naked photos on Facebook. Although these charges were dropped, James Duffy , Inman’s roommate and Evans’ former boss who says Jenelle cyberstalks” him, is still pursuing a case. Yes, that’s a separate legal matter … with a court date set for Friday.
Jenelle Evans is still abusing drugs, according to a new tabloid report. What a shocker that would be. Her former boss and love interest, James Duffy, told Star magazine that he’s witnessed the 20-year-old Oak Island, N.C., native take “a plethora of illegal substances.” This despite the fact that she is on probation for possession of drug paraphernalia and has been ordered to stay clean … which may just be a lost cause at this point. Duffy says he saw Jenelle Evans tripping balls on Ecstasy in November, and that she was drunk off her ass on another occasion, taking shots of E&J Brandy. “Around 2 or 3 a.m. that night, she snorted something in front of me,” Duffy said. He also claimed that Jenelle told him that she had taken drugs with Kieffer Delp, her troubled bad boy toy. Those two like(d) to experiment with Adderall. “When they got ‘down,’ they would snort Adderall ‘to pick them up.’ Jenelle did so much that her heart was pounding really hard, causing her to freak out.” Duffy claims that sometimes on a drug binge, Jenelle believed the Illuminati were “coming to get her,” but that she would take a Xanax and calm down. All of this could mean jail time for Jenelle, if found she is in violation of her probation. However, she has yet to fail any additional drug tests. Additional . Her attorney insists Jenelle has complied with probation requirements “not to violate any rules, stay clean, not test positive and do community service.” Well, save for the whole arrest for cyber-stalking … or harassment . The attorney said Jenelle has passed random drug tests, but Duffy claims that the MTV star has figured out how to cheat on her required urine tests.
