Teen Mom OG Recap: Who Wants Another Baby … and Who Can’t Have One?

Last night on an all-new  Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 3 , Amber Portwood made a surprising reveal that caught everyone off guard. Meanwhile, Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra spent the bulk of this installment debating the future of their family. What did they decide? Watch Teen Mom OG Season 4 Episode 3 Online We begin with Amber, who threw a birthday party for daughter Leah with the help of Matt Baier … and Gary Shirley and Kristina Anderson. Indiana’s own Modern Family, are we right? Things are going so well between them compared to years past that Gary actually told Amber that she and Matt should have a baby. Yes, this is the same Gary who confronted her about the fact that Matt Baier has nine kids by seven women she doesn’t know about. Clearly relations have improved between Portwood and her ex, but Gary’s suggestion unexpectedly opened up a whole new can of worms. “I can’t,” Amber said, and dropped it, but later told producers she was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder. The long and short of it? Amber Portwood will likely remain on serious medication for the rest of her life to combat those mental conditions. Those drugs can harm fetus, but she couldn’t go off the drugs because the consequences are too severe, so new babies are off the table. That’s a tough, tough situation, but Amber and Matt – for all people say about them – were remarkably composed, positive and forward-looking. Farrah Abraham, meanwhile, is none of those things. She announced that she was going to pack and move in the same day to San Diego, California, because of her nosy neighbors in Texas. Despite the fact that her daughter has a whole life, and Farrah owns a frozen yogurt shop, furniture store and children’s boutique in Texas. “I don’t make bad choices,” Farrah insisted. No, girl. Of course you don’t. Not a one. Abraham even told her father later Michael that she is in fact moving to the Golden State, though we’re not holding our breath. Why? Because we know she loves the drama. Come on. This is a girl who gifts her mother a noose on camera. You think she wants to lead a quiet life away from prying eyes? Nah, bruh.  Meanwhile, in Michigan, Catelynn and Tyler Baltierra threw a birthday party for daughter Nova, but their mind was on their next child. Tyler’s was, at least. Catelynn Lowell’s battle with postpartum depression after giving birth to Nova in 2015 has been very well documented. Beyond the PPD issue, which is serious, she also has a long-acting, reversible contraceptive device implanted, so that’s a consideration. Finally, Maci Bookout was actually trying to get her son Bentley to be more interested in spending time with his own dad, Ryan Edwards. Yes, we’ve reached the point where Ryan is actually putting in work, and Bookout is on good enough terms with Edwards to be receptive. If only it was that easy, though. You see, dude has been MIA for so long that Bentley’s gotten used to that and now thinks this is weird. Obviously, Ryan’s parents blamed Maci for Bentley’s absence at Thanksgiving without realizing that he himself had chosen not to go. Ryan, too, complained that he thought Maci was acting like a “punk” by keeping Bentley, calling it “unfair'” to girlfriend Mackenzie Standifer. Does he have a point? Yes and no. Eh, mostly no. Whose fault, at the end of the day, do you think the little boy’s indifference toward Ryan is? Edwards ought to check the nearest mirror. “If Bentley wanted to go with him, I’d let him in a heartbeat, but I’m not going to make him do it just to make Ryan feel better!” Maci vented. She’s right. Ryan made this bed and now he has to lie in it, because while he is putting forth a lot more effort lately, it’s very long overdue. You can’t fix years of being an absent d-bag overnight. Just keep doing what you’ve been doing and building the relationship, Ry Guy.  Good things come in time. View Slideshow: Teen Mom: What Do the Dads Do for a Living?!

Starbucks Barista Loses His Mind Over Unicorn Frappuccino: Watch!

People have a deep, inexplicable love for Starbucks, and so many of them will lose their damn minds over a new beverage. That's a fact, and it's always been a fact, but it's been proven again this week with the release of a new limited edition drink, the fabled Unicorn Frappuccino. If you've been on social media at all in the past few days, you've likely seen reaction videos, reviews, fancy filtered pics of this thing. People are obsessed with it, for whatever reason, and they're lining up at their local Starbucks to try it for themselves. And for one barista, the pressure was simply too much. Braden Burson works at a Starbucks in Colorado, and on his way home from work yesterday, he was so frazzled by the Unicorn Frappuccino that he felt the need to make a video about it. It's enthralling, alarming … it's so many things. He kicked things off in a pretty calm way, explaining that the drink had just come out that day, and that it's a mango-based cream drink with a sour twist — most reviews say it's disgusting, by the way. He said that it's the most popular drink in Starbucks history, which is true, and that people have been clamoring for it. But then, and this is where things get interesting, he has the breakdown. “Please don't get it!” he screamed. “I have never made so many frappuccinos in my entire life. My hands are completely sticky. I have unicorn crap all in my hair and on my nose.” “I have never been so stressed out in my entire life,” he lamented. “If you love us, as baristas, don't order it.” Poor Braden said that the drink is just so difficult to make, and to make one right after the other is tough. It's clear the pressures of the job have gotten to him — seriously, we weren't joking when we said that he loses his mind. We feel for him, but, interestingly enough, you know who else is showing sympathy for him? Starbucks itself! Some people have expressed concern that Braden would get fired over such a rant, but TMZ is reporting that Starbucks is actually reaching out to him to try to figure out how to make things easier on baristas. A happy ending — who would have thought? See the video that started it all below:

Ain’t Over: Shamea Blasts ‘Devil’ Phaedra For Starting Those Lesbihonest Kandi Rumors

RHOA shade files…. Shamea Morton Blasts Phaedra Parks If you thought Shamea Morton’s issues with Phaedra Parks were over, you thought wrong. As previously reported Shamea was pissed when her “best friend” Porsha  seemingly agreed with Phaedra that she and Kandi were in a secret lesbian/Todd Tucker threesome relationship  because Shamea “f***s everybody’s husband.” Following that Shamea shut Phaedra down with claims that Apollo Nida tried to hit on her and alleged that Phaedra was known in Atlanta for her freaky sex skills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=77&v=YpYxQaYgkgU Now after taping the RHOA reunion, Shamea’s got more on her mind. According to her, she was shocked when Phaedra made the Kandi lesbian claims—but luckily her fiancé Gerald Mwangi didn’t take it too seriously. She tells Bravo’s The Daily Dish: “I played it back several times, but when I first saw it, my mouth just dropped open, I was like, ‘Oh my God.'””I was watching it with my fiancé actually, and he just burst out laughing.” She also added that shady Phae Phae’s a “devil in a dress… “They always say when you’re doing really well, your name is going to come up. When they’re not talking about you, that’s when you should worry. Half of those things and the person that kind of put them out there, she’s the devil in a dress,” Shamea said. “So I always knew that. So when those things came out, I wasn’t too shocked.” and her “chubby a**” took it too far. “I tolerated Phaedra,” said Shamea. “I was cordial to Phaedra because of Porsha even last season in Miami, I tolerated Phaedra just because of Porsha’s new friendship with her,” Shamea explained. “But now, after her making those types of accusations, she just went too far with her chubby a**.” BLOOOOOOOOOOOOP! Several people are reporting that Phaedra will be left with egg on her face during the RHOA Reunion when her numerous lies are exposed…. and it also might mark the end of her “Frick & Frack” friendship with Porsha. Hit the flip for more of Shamea’s thoughts on this season of RHOA. FreddyO Shamea says the silver lining this season was how much closer she got to Kandi. HEH. “We have been able to lean on each other through this ordeal,” Shamea told She tells Bravo’s The Daily Dish: “I think we were able to vent to each other because we were both put in the hot seat and betrayed by people we once called friends.” “This season was definitely an eye opener for me, to say the least. I just could never [have] predicted some of the things that went on,” she said. “I had some highs and lows this season, I had some exciting moments with me getting engaged and Kandi throwing me a surprise engagement party, and then I’ve had lows, like not having my best friend Porsha show up at the engagement party and things just kind of down spiraling from there. It’s been an emotional roller coaster.” Instagram

Eric and Lara Trump: Expecting First Child!

Trump news is everywhere these days, and it’s not all about the Donald. Daughter Ivanka continues to serve as a de facto first lady, which is profoundly creepy on so, so many levels. Son Donald, Jr. is still competing for Don, Sr.’s attention by posing for unintentionally hilarious “pensive woodsman” photos . Even Tiffany Trump is whining about  getting bullied at fashion week events , thus carrying on the proud family legacy of having delicate little feelings and being eternally in search of a safe space. Hell, 11-year-old Barron is doing his part by moving into the White House and saving taxpayers the expense of paying the Secret Service to block up Midtown Manhattan all day. But what about Donald’s middle son? You know – the pasty one who always looks like he just disposed of a bloodless hooker corpse with two fang marks on the neck. Well, it seem Eric has been busy in his own right … People magazine is reporting today that Eric and Lara Trump are expecting their first child. Here’s the part where we avoid making a joke about how Eric’s long absence from the spotlight might be explained by the amount of time it took him to convince his wife that Eric Trump is a person someone might want to have sex with. The effort is really killing us here, guys. We hope you appreciate it. Anyway, the couple confirmed the news in a statement issued today, adding that they’re experiencing genuine and not-at-all-rehearsed hu-man emotions about the idea of welcoming a baby boy. “Eric’s going to be an amazing dad,” Lara says. “ “The nieces and nephews love hanging with him. He’s the cool uncle. He’s watched Frozen many times.” Lara goes on to say that she’s experiencing some fatigue, but assures you it’s not because she’s some low-energy Jeb Bush-type: “I was exhausted in the beginning,” Lara tells the magazine. “It surprised me, because I’m a very active person, and until the fatigue hit, I didn’t believe it would actually happen to me,” she adds. “It really affected me. But I’m feeling really good now.” As for a name – well, like your basic civil liberties under the Trump administration, that’s very much up in the air: “We really loved the name Charlie, but we’d already named our dog that, so it’s out,” Eric says. In related news, we assume Eric has just been handed a large trophy for the honor Whitest Sentence Ever Uttered. View Slideshow: Ivanka Trump Sits at Oval Office Desk, Twitter Loses Its Mind

Kylie Jenner Spinoff Show: Actually Happening?!

Kylie Jenner has spent the past three years of her life slowly transforming into Kim Kardashian , and she may have just taken her biggest step yet toward becoming a full-blown Mini-Kim. No, she didn’t cut a basketball in half and stuff down the back of her pants. But she is taking a page from Kim’s playbook in terms of her next career move. No , we’re not talking about the long-rumored Kylie sex tape , either. Get your mind out of the gutter, hypothetical reader! What we mean to say is that Kylie is reportedly getting her own reality show. Yes, after years of playing second fiddle to her older sisters on Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Kylie is reportedly gearing up for a spinoff series that will focus primarily on her expanding business empire. “Kylie is so excited,” a source close to the family tells Radar Online. “It’s going to be all about building her business, and hiring people for her team.” Kylie’s business ventures include lucrative Instagram endorsements, a subscription-based website, and her wildly popular lip kit s . She recently announced plans to expand to a full cosmetics line. It makes sense Kylie would get into the spinoff game. After all, she’s arguably the most popular member of the Kardashian clan , and aside from Kendall (who’s busy with modeling), she’s the only one who hasn’t had a spinoff. Even reclusive Rob who previously refused to participate in the family’s existing reality series was given a show focusing on his relationship with Blac Chyna. Of course, all of this talk about a new show for Kylie has prompted further rumors that Keeping Up the Kardashians will soon be canceled . After all, Kylie is one of the series’ biggest draws, and with all of her many side gigs, it’s hard to imagine she’d have time to fully participate in two reality shows. Add to that the fact that the season 13 premiere last Sunday brought in the show’s lowest ratings to date, and it’s not hard to see why so many are convinced there won’t be a KUWTK Season 14. But no matter what happens with the show that made her family famous, one thing is for certain: Kylie will be just fine. Watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online at TV Fanatic to relive Kylie’s simpler years. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Selfies: A Kandid Kollection

#BlackLivesMatter: Tennessee Police Kill Mentally Ill Black Man On Facebook Live Stream

Tennessee Police Shoot Black Man Dead On Facebook Live A Crockett County sheriffs killed an unarmed Black man yesterday after they say he attempted to hit officers with his SUV “at least twice” according to NBCNews . 36-year-old Rodney James Hess had parked his vehicle on the side of the road and was said to be “acting erratically” while streaming the encounter on Facebook Live. When officers arrived to the scene, Hess did not exit his vehicle, but instead asked that the “higher commands come out” to speak to him. At that point, without any apparent provocation, shots were fired through Hess’ windshield and the following video depicts those final tense moments of his life. We should warn all of you that while this video is not graphic, it IS very disturbing. After being shot and crashing his truck, Rodney was airlifted to a hospital where he died. His fiancee, Johnisha Provost, told CommercialAppeal this about Rodney’s mental health: Provost said Hess suffered from bipolar disorder and she could tell from looking at the videos that he was disoriented and lost. “He couldn’t get his mind together. That’s why he asked for a higher command,” she said. “I always told him, ‘Babe, if you are ever in a situation where you need help, ask the person in charge for the higher command to help you,’ and that’s what he kept saying.” The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says this about the disconcerting clip: “Though we are aware such a video exists, we cannot confirm its authenticity. As with anything that might potentially be evidence, we will examine it to determine if it has probative benefit,” Tennessee Bureau of Investigation Public Information Officer Josh DeVine said. SMH. By all accounts of this story, there has been no gun or weapon of any kind recovered from the scene. R.I.P. Rodney Hess #BlackLivesMatter Image via Facebook

Tom Hiddleston: I Don’t Want to Talk About Taylor Swift Anymore!

Tom Hiddleston … well, he’s not doing so hot these days. And there’s approximately a 100% chance that that’s because of Taylor Swift. Tom was doing fine before he began dating Taylor last June . He had those Thor movies, he was a respected actor with a solid fan base. It was good. But when he got with Taylor, something happened. He changed. And not for the better. About three seconds after they decided to get together (which coincidentally happened about three seconds after she broke up with Calvin Harris ), they were photographed kissing on a beach. After that, they were photographed going on dates around the world, meeting each other’s parents and having the most romantic time. Oh, and who could forget Taylor’s annual Fourth of July party when Tom rocked a tank top that read “I Heart T.S.” ? It was embarrassing, overwhelming, and it only lasted for a few months — they announced their split in September. Since then, Tom has spent his time talking about Taylor Swift, giving weird, self-congratulatory speeches , and then talking about Taylor Swift some more. But now he’s had enough. In a new interview with The Telegraph, Tom was asked if he regretted “the publicity and gossip” that came with his relationship with Taylor. And his response, which he’s said to have given “testily,” was “What should I regret in your mind? I would rather not talk about this, if that’s all right.” For one, it’s kind of dumb that Tom’s asking what he’s supposed to regret when the poor reporter was pretty clear. And for two … come on, Tom. Then, “after a long pause, with his hand on his chin” — he sure sounds insufferable, huh? — he said “I’m just thinking about this. Everyone is entitled to a private life.” “I love what I do and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment, and in my mind I don’t conflict the two.” “My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life,” he concluded. “And those two things are separate.” It’s just kind of rich that he’s going on about having a “private life,” because of course he does, but when it suits his purposes, he’s totally fine with sharing intimate details. Just last month , he said that “Taylor is an amazing woman. She’s generous and kind and lovely, and we had the best time.” And it’s worth saying again: he posed for a photo for Instagram in a tank top with the words “I Heart T.S.” on it. But yeah, go ahead and sass reporters and pretend like you’re above all this media attention, Tom. Great plan. View Slideshow: 14 Famous Dudes Who Have Dated Taylor Swift

Truth To Power: Dave Chappelle Addresses His Rural Hometown About Policing At City Council Meeting [Video]

Dave Chappelle’s Powerful Words At His Local City Council Meeting About Policing Dave Chappelle just banked $60 million from Netflix for his upcoming comedy specials and God knows how much from his recent tours and everything else. That said, Dave still resides with his family in small town Yellow Springs, Ohio. He’s not big-wig celebrity there, he’s an active member of the community and is deeply concerned about his city. On New Years Eve, a black man was badly beaten by the police. As a result, the police chief and a handful of officers resigned from their posts. As Chappelle addressed his neighbors and the city council, he urged them to return Yellow Springs to a town that was policed by faces that everyone knew and not an outside “alien force”, as he described it. Good on Dave for speaking his mind and using the opportunity to make Yellow Springs great again. Image via YouTube
