Over the years, American Horror Story has centered seasons on witches, circus freaks and killers in black leather sex suits. But the upcoming season may be the strangest and scariest to date… because it will focus on the 2016 Presidential Election! Sort of! Creator Ryan Murphy has teased that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton will both play some kind of role on American Horror Story: Cult, with the just-revealed opening credits sequence featuring characters donning the masks of both these polarizing figures. There are also bees depicted below, along with many creepy masks and dead dogs. What else do know about new fall episodes? Ryan has previously teased a “love story for the ages” between Sarah Paulson's character and that of Evan Peters… although Paulson will be married to a woman played by Allison Pill. “I think it's going to reveal itself in surprising ways,” Paulson said at the 2017 TCA summer press tour of her romance. Billie Lourd, Cheyenne Jackson, Colton Haynes, Billy Eichner, Adina Porter and Leslie Grossman will also star in the new season; while Lena Dunham, Frances Conroy and Mare Winningham will make appearances. “We've got bloody tension, a well-cooked meal, an exciting trip to a grocery store,” previewed executive producer Alexis Martin Woodall this summer of what’s on tap,adding: “I just think it is true to our brand, which is you're going to be in a whole new world all over again and fall in love with these really special characters and hate yourself for watching it right before you go to bed and love.” The 11-episode season will be set in Michigan and take place the night of the 2016 presidential election. American Horror Story: Cult premieres Tuesday, September 5 at 10/9c on FX. Check out the teaser below:
While arguing with a caller, Steve Harvey made some nasty comments to a Flint residen t…stating he “don’t even have clean water” and telling him to have a glass of the “brown water.” Naturally, folks from Michigan are not happy.

Nicole Curtis has come under fire. And not just for the dumb name of her HGTV series this time. Instead, the city of Minneapolis has sued Curtis’ company (Detroit Renovations), claiming the Rehab Addict host failed to renovate a dilapidated home her firm bought from the city in 2013 … … for just $2. According to legal documented obtained by Consumerist, the HGTV star and her company failed to adhere to the terms of a contract they entered into with Minneapolis. This contract called for Curtis to fix-up a property in North Minneapolis, while also completing a list of basic improvements within 365 days. The lawsuit was filed in January, but only just made public this week. It states that Detroit Renovations “failed to substantially complete the Minimum Improvements on the Property.” It also claims the company hasn’t paid property taxes or maintained insurance on the residence. The city claims a breach of contract has been made and asks the court to take the property away from Curtis. On Rehab Addict, Curtis and her team renovate historic houses around Michigan and Minnesota. It debuted on HGTV in October of 2010. The Minneapolis Star Tribune reports that Curtis’ attorneys responded in court filings that the small screen personality admits the residence in question has not been renovated. However, that the company “was prevented and/or delayed from completing performance (of the contract’s terms) due to the acts of Plaintiff and the acts of third parties.” As for how city officials even learned about the state of the property? The Tribute states they received numerous complaints from neighbors about unsafe conditions. Curtis isn’t keeping quiet about this controversy. She responded to the lawsuit on social media, saying on Instagram that she’s told her employees to “to ignore the negativity.” She added: “The only way I’ve gotten this far is by staying on my path and remembering that those that have the time to disband such hate on others …well, let’s just say happy, successful people don’t do that.” Curtis went on to slam her critics as “energy suckers,” while referring to herself as an “energy giver.” Among other reactions she’s shared on social media… Curtis is a mother of two. She embroiled in a child custody battle with the father of her 20-month-old son, Harper. And she’s only the latest HGTV personality to get caught up in a headline-making scandal. We all know about Christina and Tarek El Moussa at this point, right? The hosts of Flip or Flop are getting a divorce, following a violent confrontation last spring, and are in the news these days more often for updates on their relationship status than for anything having to do with buying and fixing up homes. Chip and Joanna Gaines, meanwhile, comprise the beloved couple at the center of Fixer Upper. They reside in Texas and were dragged into a story late last year that centered around the pastor at a church they frequent, with a Buzzfeed reporter wondering about Chip and Joanna’s views on gay people in light of some of that pastor’s comments. View Slideshow: HGTV Scandals That Rocked the Television World Chip called for general “respect” during this scandal, which appears to have at least blown over for the stars. Unlike the El Moussas and Curtis (allegedly!), they didn’t actually take any kind of inappropriate actions to earn the scorn of long-time fans and viewers. Will this lawsuit threaten the future of Rehab Addict on HGTV? Only time, folks, will tell. Only time.
Way back when, many of the Teen Mom stars you’ve grown to know and (sort of) love started out on 16 and Pregnant. But what about those who did not make the cut for Teen Mom… or Teen Mom 2… or Teen Mom 3? What ever happened to Summer Rewis, Izabella Tovar, and Nikkole Paulun? We've caught up with a handful of the 16 and Pregnant stars you may have forgotten, along with the ones who are now much older, possibly pregnant again and still in the MTV spotlight: 1. NIKKOLE PAULUN The ex-party girl was featured on the fomer MTV series after giving birth to son Lyle as a teenager. These days, the Michigan native is also a parent to a one-year girl and shares parenting stories and tips on her social media profiles. 2. IZABELLA TOVAR After welcoming son Enrique with husband Jairo, the couple managed to stay together, welcoming a daughter named Anastazia. The two are married and Tovar graduated from college in May of 2016. 3. MADDY GODSEY Poor Maddy got pregnant from a one-night-stand. She is still raising little Aubrey on her own, but now she’s doing it in a brand new house. 4. AUTUMN CRITTENDON Ever since giving birth to her son, Drake, Autumn asked fans to donate for her home repairs via a GoFundMe campaign in 2014. Then, in 2015, rumors ran rampant that she was dating another 16 & Pregnant alum… Millina Kacmar. 5. SUMMER REWIS Summer is doing especially well. She remained with Peyton’s father, DJ, and they recently welcomed another son, Connor, in the summer of 2016. 6. JENNIFER DEL RIO Del Rio has been largely out of the spotlight since welcoming twins Josh Jr. and Noah. In 2014, though, she announced via social media that she welcomed another little boy named Sebastian. View Slideshow
