Last week, we learned that Javi Marroquin is dating someone new just months after separating from wife Kailyn Lowry. Today, we learned the identity of Javi’s new girlfriend , and while the split between Lowry and Marroquin seems to have been mostly amicable, it can’t be easy to have to see your ex-dude’s new boo all over the Internet. Maybe that’s why Kail is talking about her love life these days. Lowry is popular on Snapchat, where she often posts doodles that feature a stick-figure character she calls “bae.” One of her recent snaps led to this question from a fan on Twitter (social media is so confusing these days): “Why is bae black?!” Kail responded: “What do you mean why? Lmao im only down with the brown girl.” For many fans the comment brought to mind Farrah Abraham’s recent remark that she only dates white guys . The whole situation raises the question: Can two people say the exact opposite thing and both be offensive? View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry: Timeline of a Turbulent Teen Mom Life Apparently so, as folks on social media got pissed at both women. Here’s the thing: Everyone’s free to date whomever they want for whatever reason they want, and like it or not, you don’t have much say who you’re attracted to. That said, it always feels a little messy anyone screams their preferences from a roof top. Like, say you’re only attracted to people with a certain body type. That’s fine, but maybe you don’t need to broadcast that fact outside of say, a dating site, or some other context in which that information might be of use to strangers. Otherwise, you run the risk of making people feel unattractive simply because they don’t conform to your personal standards. We’re not judging, it’s just one of those troubling quandaries brought about by the Information Age. We’re all reaching more people on a daily basis than ever before, and as such, we might have to adapt and consider the things we say from angles we wouldn’t have had to previously. Did we just spend way too much time thinking about a tweet from a Teen Mom 2 star? You bet! Feel free to tear us a new one in the comments!

Tour Bus Loaded With 300 Kilos Of Cocaine Busted In Paraguay According to BusinessInsider , there are some folks in Rio who are in LOVE with the coco… Officials in Paraguay intercepted a tour bus loaded with 296 kilos of cocaine on its way to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on August 14. The bus, empty except for two men and the cocaine, was stopped on the Paraguay side of the Friendship Bridge, which connects Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, with Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, according to a report from Paraguayan news site ABC and first spotted by InSight Crime. Paraguayan authorities were tipped off that something was amiss with the bus — which still had the logos of a transport company — when they noticed that it had no passengers. Authorities charged two men, a 52-year-old and 46-year-old, with drug trafficking and other crimes. The cocaine, in 274 packets, was hidden in a meter-long, 20-centimeter-wide false bottom underneath a mini fridge. The bus was sold by VIPS Tours SA in late July, with the buyer promising to remove the logos. Upon examining the seized cocaine, officials determined that its likely origin was Colombia, the world’s largest producer of the drug. They said that it would have had a value of $3 million on the Brazil market, according to ABC. Authorities also seized cellphones and cash. Ryan Lochte was probably pissed that he didn’t get his shipment… Image via Shutterstock
Dear Bossip , I am so in love with my ex till I cannot stop wanting him. We were together for 4 years while he was married to his wife. I used to hear how she would argue with him, so I really didn’t care about dealing with him. We took trips and hung out all the time. He even was the bomb in bed. Well, going into the 5 th year of our relationship, he caught his wife cheating and decided to get a divorce. I helped him look for an apartment and even applied with him because I was finally his one and only. The apartment was not going to be ready for 60 days, so he was still at his wife’s house during that time, but it was all about me. Well, after we came back from our trip and returned to work, I noticed he was occasionally talking to a chic that came into the job all the time. My friend told me that after about 3 months he was dating the girl. I approached her afterward and she stated she was friends with him, but if he was her man he would claim her. I didn’t understand. Well, I continued to watch and sure enough he was taking her on dates as well as talking on the phone with her. I found out because I tracked his phone one night. He had moved in the apartment a month before I tracked him, but I didn’t know he had given her a key, as well as had her decorating his place. My friend told me everything. I was really hurt. Well, at least they weren’t living together. I popped up over to the apartment one night when I knew she was not going to be there because she was in grad school from what I knew. He let me in and things just happened. So, at this point I knew he was not over me. But, to my surprise he told her everything. They broke up for a while, but he was running behind her and pleading her to get back together. They got back together and moved into another apartment together. I was mad as hell because he was mine. Well, his daughter moved in with them and she began to destroy their relationship and was telling me everything. The chic left him and that was my moment again. So, I moved him in my place and we were good I thought. But, his daughter told me that he was trying to work things out with girl. I continued to sleep with him trying to change his mind and show him I could be a wife. He moved out after 2 months and I found out he was back together with her. He changed his whole life to be with her. I later found out I was pregnant. Now, it’s been 3 years since my baby was born and he won’t talk to me. He married that girl and is all about her and the family. I WANT him BACK ASAP. I text her all the time trying to make her and their relationship miserable. I even told his ex-wife that she was the one who broke their marriage up just to make him leave her, but it didn’t work. Me and his ex-wife are now besties and we’re trying to break up the marriage. I want my baby daddy back so bad I will do anything. Why didn’t he commit to me? Why did he change for her? Why couldn’t he see I had a lot to offer? – In Love With My Ex Dear Ms. In Love With My Ex , You are not in love with your ex. You are obsessed with your ex. He doesn’t want you. He never loved you. He has moved on and he is with the woman he wants to be with. He married another woman, therefore, you should move on. Nothing you can do, or say will get him to change his mind, leave his wife, and be with you. NOTHING! And, I feel sorry for you because you are in hell. A miserable lonely and pitiful hell. It’s sad because you chose this hell, and feel quite comfortable there. And, because you find it a warm and cozy place to dwell you want everyone else to be there with you. What’s even worse is that you are viciously dangerous and evil. Your heart is cold and you are filled with spite. Women like you are poisonous and dangerous. You are conniving, and you won’t stop destroying everything and everyone around you until there is nothing left. You were with a married man for four years, having an affair, and taking from him that which he should have given to his family. But, you didn’t care. You wanted what you wanted, and it didn’t matter to you that he was married, you were sleeping with another woman’s husband, and destroying a family. That meant nothing to you because your focus was him. Yet, now you’re bragging that you are besties with his ex-wife and you two are working together to destroy and end his marriage with a woman he left you for. So, you are malicious and deceptive. You lied to his ex-wife and manipulated her into your drama by telling her that his new wife is the reason he left her. You failed to reveal or share that you were part of the cause and reason his marriage ended. You were the other woman for four years while he was married. Now, you are using this woman to be part of your cruel and sadistic game. You are evil and vile. It is actually pointless and useless to write a response to you because you won’t adhere to any advice, or even listen to what I have to say. This statement you wrote says it all, “I want my baby daddy back so bad I will do anything.” And, that is exactly what you are doing, ANYTHING! You are texting his wife constantly trying to end their marriage. You have his daughter and ex-wife part of your plan and working up schemes to destroy his relationship. You are using your own child as a pawn. Ma’am, you won’t stop being destructive and malicious until everyone around you is miserable just as you. By the way, you are not in love, but you are a stalker, and are obsessed with someone who does not want to be with you. You’re so far gone that you can’t see how unhealthy your behavior is to you mentally and emotionally. Now, you’re asking me, “Why didn’t he commit to me? Why did he change for her? Why couldn’t he see I had a lot to offer?” He didn’t commit to you because he didn’t want to be with you. He used you while he was with his wife. He was never going to leave his wife to be with you. Men never leave their wives for the mistress. You are an escape from their wives, not an exit. Why is so hard for you to accept the fact he doesn’t, didn’t, and won’t be with you. NEVER! He changed for his current wife because that is the woman he wanted to be with. She wasn’t like you and wasn’t willing to play second, or be his side chick. She demanded something better from him, and for herself. So, he changed because she demanded he do so. Other than that, who knows why he changed. It can be a number of reasons. But, one reason I can bet on is that he knew he didn’t want to be with you anymore. You’re going to have to let him go, and stop harassing him and his wife. You’re obsessing over him as if he owes you something. Ma’am, he doesn’t owe you anything. You can’t make him love you, want to be with you, or marry you. And, he couldn’t see that you had a lot to offer because he was married, and then going through a divorce, and he all he could see was his drama, his mess, his own –ish and how he was destroying everything and everyone around him. You were even part of his aftermath, and you refuse to see how he used you, and even destroyed your life. He used you. Why would you want to be with a man who cheated on his wife, help to destroy his own marriage, and then while he was with you he was sleeping with another woman. What woman in her right mind would want to be with a man who is a womanizer, and a constant and consistent cheater? You. Need. Help. Seriously. You should get into counseling and work on your obsession. You are a stalker. Your behavior is not normal. Please, for your own sake and for your child’s sake, get help. Mentally, you are not all there, and you are in a dark place. What you are doing, and this “all or nothing” mentally will have you acting and doing things that will get so out of hand that it will do some serious harm to yourself and others. Stop. Get help today, and talk with someone. – Terrance Dean ***(Attention all media/news outlets, if you use this story and letter, or any parts of this content for your outlets you must give credit to this site, the columnist, and his advice)** Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Dear Bossip , I’m in love and I don’t know what to do about it. I met this guy four years ago through some mutual friends and we immediately connected. We were hanging out all the time kissing and just enjoying each other’s company, but we weren’t exclusively together until two years later. I had realized I loved him, but I didn’t say anything and to my surprise he asked me to be his girlfriend. Shortly after, I gave him my virginity. I ended up having to break up with him a month later because he had quickly changed in the relationship, and I got the feeling he didn’t want to be in it anymore. We continued a sexual relationship as well as hanging out together as friends. I tried to end the sexual part multiple times, but he always pulled me back in. We dated other people off and on, but we always came back to each other when we were single. He even tried to fool around with me while he was in a relationship. Almost every other girl he’s dated has either lied to him, cheated on him, or used him in some way. I’ve told him that I loved him and I wanted more than just friends with benefits and he’s told me things like, “I have a weakness for you,” and, “I have feelings for you,” and, “I’m glad you told me,” but nothing came of it. In June, we had a big fight and didn’t speak for a month. During this time we also moved to different states. He texted me in July asking if we could go back to the way we were. When I asked what changed his mind, he said, “his feelings for me.” I told him I loved him, but I couldn’t go back because he’s hurt me too much. He said, “Ok, I understand,” and that was that. It is now almost three months later and we still haven’t spoken. Recently, he’ll get online and ‘like’ one of my pictures and then post sad love songs right after. I still have not reached out in any way, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss our friendship. I was considering reaching out to him simply as a friend. I figured I wouldn’t have to worry about our friendship becoming about sex again since we are in two different states. My friend believes three months is not long enough for him to miss me and change. I just really want another opinion. Should I reach out and try to just be friends? – Tired and Confused Dear Ms. Tired and Confused , If he really loved you and wanted to be with you, then he would be there with you. Or, he would make a way for you to be with him. I’m sorry, ma’am, but a man who says he’s in love and really wants his woman, he will make a way to be with her no matter the distance, or obstacle. He will get to her. What I suspect is that he knows that you’re available, and will always be available for him. Yes, you allow yourself to be ready, willing, and available whenever he calls. You keep calling this relationship a ‘friendship,’ and in actuality it is a sexual relationship. You are not friends. So, please stop saying that. You want something more, and you want him to be your man. Therefore, you can’t claim you are friends when you keep sleeping with him. You want a relationship, and I’m sorry to say, but he doesn’t. Thus, he keeps you in this rollercoaster emotional game of going up and down with his charade, when in actuality he is not interested in a serious relationship with you. He likes what you and he have and that is a sexual relationship. You are convenient sex for him, and he can’t tell you that is what you are for him because you have stated to him that you want something more, and not just to be his bed buddy. You see, having sex with someone is a spiritual connection. You become spiritually connected with someone, and you have to be very careful of those you spread your legs and allow to enter you. In the sex act between men and women, men are givers, and women are receivers. Men deposit into women, and women receive a man’s energy and spirit. And, it is also vice-versa. Women give to men, and transfer their spirit and energy to men. By inviting him into you, you are welcoming him and giving yourself to him. So, when relationships end, it is necessary to cleanse and heal yourself emotionally, mentally, and physically. Otherwise, that person’s spirit will linger in you and it will be difficult to remove yourself from them, such as in your case. I am sure this is emotionally taxing for you, but you have to stop investing in him and in something that will never manifest. This relationship has run its course. And, please stop deceiving yourself that you and he can ever be friends. That will never happen. You can’t separate your feelings for him, and neither your emotional and physical connection from him. You are too invested, too connected, and too involved to simply be his friend. You can’t do it. Look at your past with him. You keep letting him back into your life. You won’t allow yourself to be alone, and to remove yourself from him emotionally, mentally, or physically. You’re always sleeping with him and having sex. You’re never just his friend. Now, you’re asking me if you should reach out to him after you haven’t heard from him in nearly three months since he reached out to you via text and said he wanted to go back to the way things used to be. Girl, he texted you. He didn’t call you. He didn’t come visit you. He texted you. And, when you said you couldn’t go back, he responded by saying he understood, and you haven’t heard from him since. It’s been nearly three months and you haven’t heard from him, and you’re wondering if you should reach out to rekindle a friendship. Sigh. I can’t. Ma’am, you need to let it go. Let him go. Stop waiting, hoping, and wishing that this turn into something like it was, or he will be the man that you want. He isn’t, and he won’t. Your relationship ran its course. It didn’t work. Why do you keep going back to something that ended? Why are you revisiting the past? He’s shown you who he is, and what he is about? He is unable to commit. He hasn’t made any effort to be in a relationship, nor has he made any effort to be with you faithfully. He’s moved on, and so should you. He’s living his life, and he’s keeping you in his rolodex because why would he give up some steady sex? He is no fool. But, you are. Stop allowing him to play with your heart and emotions. As a matter of fact, how about you stop being a doormat and get up from the ground. He can’t walk over you if you won’t lay down for him. – Terrance Dean ***(Attention all media/news outlets, if you use this story and letter, or any parts of this content for your outlets you must give credit to this site, the columnist, and his advice)** Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Jillian Harris may be the co-host of Love It or List It on HGTV. But we have news to deliver about the former Bachelorette that fans will simply love: She just gave birth! She’s a first-time mother! As reported by People Magazine, the 36-year old and long-time partner Justin Pasutto welcomed their first child into the world on Friday morning. His name is Leo. He was born at 6:02 a.m. And he weighed six pounds and 12 ounces at the time. In announcing her pregnancy back in March, Harris shared a photo of herself, her baby bump, her dog and her man, writing as a captio: “I can’t remember a time where my heart has been SO full. A total dream come true!! We are over the moon, stoked, blessed, exstatic!!!!! “Little babe, we CANNOT wait to meet you!!!!!! @slipperygoose @nachocilantro #16weeks (ps details on the blog if you haven’t heard the news yet… Love you ALL for your love and support!!!).” Added Pasutto at the time: “Words can’t express how lucky and blessed we feel to introduce a new life into ours and that our wish has finally come true.” He then joked of the dog, which has his own Instagram account: “@nachocilantro on the other hand, isn’t quite sure what that means for him but he’s excited too.” Harris and Pasutto have been an item for four years. Jillian finished in third place on Jason Mesnick’s season of The Bachelor , going on to anchor her very own season of The Bachelorette. She selected contestant Ed Swiderski as the winner that year and the two became engaged by the series’ end in 2009. However, the pair pulled the plug on their romance in July 2010 after Us Weekly broke news of Swiderski’s infidelity. Oh well. We felt badly for Jillian at the time, but things have clearly worked out just fine for her. Better than fine: she’s in love and she’s a mother! We send the new family our very best wishes!

Shannen Doherty is facing the biggest challenge of her life. The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star was diagnosed with breast cancer several months and has been keeping fans apprised of her progress. Sadly, it isn’t going very well. Earlier this week, for example, Doherty shared the tragic news that the cancer has spread. Now, in an Instagram post written on Thursday, Doherty has gone into detail about the horrors of undergoing chemotherapy. It’s unfortunately a feeling and an experience to which millions can relate. “Each person’s cancer journey is different. For me, chemo has been terrible and believe me, we have tried almost everything,” the 45-year old wrote alongside a photo of herself in bed alongside her beloved dog Bowie. She added: “So days like this have become a bit of the norm. I’m learning that it’s ok to fall into bed and give in to the exhaustion or nausea or aches.” Thank goodness she has a four-legged friend she can lean on at least. After thanking her 422,000 followers for their ongoing support throughout this health battle, Doherty gave a mention to her precious pooch for remaining by her side as she battles to beat this illness. “Btw, it doesn’t hurt to have #msbowie comfort me. So back to my nap,” she wrote. “Thank you for your prayers, well wishes and stories. They help so much.” During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, Doherty said she thinks her canine was the first to sense that she had cancer. Dogs really have been known to have this ability. “She would obsessively sniff right here on my right side for a long time before,” Doherty shared. “So it made sense when I got diagnosed. The actress discovered she had breast cancer in February 2015. She shaved her head just a couple weeks ago. After her eight rounds of chemotherapy are complete, Doherty is planning to start radiation treatments. It’s difficult, but Doherty is trying to stay positive. “[My husband and I] were at this Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, and I looked at him and I said, ‘You better enjoy every single second that you have with me … ’cause I’m going to be dead in five years,'” she told ET. “He burst out crying and was like, ‘You can’t say that.'” “That phase was short, thank God. That was a short, short phase that I think my family and friends got me through.” We send our love and best wishes to Shannen Doherty. We can’t fathom what she is going through, but we know other celebrities have beaten cancer. To wit:

I just saw that Kate Bosworth was in Montreal the other day – and I stupidly didn’t know this before she was here – and I didn’t go profess my love for her by throwing my semen at her – before getting arrested because semen is a controlled substance that you’re not legally allowed to throw at people – even if you’ve been saving it up in a jar next to your bed since you first saw Kate Bosworth in whatever it is she was first in….only to have her drop charges after tasting it and realizing it’s sugary goodness…making her addicted to my sperm and hiring me as her sperm factory she locks in her pool house making her a shot a day….because that’s the kind of fantasy I have… I like that she’s skinny, I like her legs, her face, she is what all girls should look like, so if I ever made billions and could build a woman producing lab in my basement…we’d factor in a little bit of this in the design… She’s old and still looks like this… The post Kate Bosworth Nipples of the DAy appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
