The Walking Dead Season 7 Trailer: Who Dies?!?

AMC has released the premiere date and the first official trailer for  The Walking Dead Season 7 . First, we can confirm that new episodes of the cable smash hit will kick off on Sunday, October 23 at 9/8c. This exciting tidbit was dropped today at Comic-Con in San Diego. Next, we can offer fans a look at scenes from fall installments, as the network has also unveiled the first extended Walking Dead Season 7 preview. We need to first warn you that, no, the identity of the man or woman on the receiving end of Negan's baseball bat is not revealed in the video below. We still don't know which series regular will not be with us come October. (Although we have our theories!) The intriguing trailer opens with misty water-colored memories of all the characters (and we mean ALL the character) who might be coming back just long enough to say a violent farewell. We also get a glimpse one of the new settings to come this year, along with a character from the graphic novel series who is making his long-anticipated debut. Oh, yes, you can watch here for your first look of Ezekiel (played by newcomer Khary Payton), the ma in charge of a never-before-seen community of survivors known as The Kingdom. Let's just say he has a pet tiger. He also appears to have the kind of resources that Rick may need to defeat Negan once and for all. (Assuming Rick survives, that is, but come on. We all know Rick is going to survive.) Check out the trailer below, post your comment with your thoughts on who got killed by Negan and let the countdown to The Walking Dead Season 7 begin! (NOTE: You can visit TV Fanatic to watch The Walking Dead online at any time if you need to catch up.)

Jenelle Evans & Leah Messer: Teen Mom 2 Producer Responds to Reality Stars’ Accusations

If you watch Teen Mom 2 online , you know that the young mothers who star on the show aren’t always portrayed in the most flattering light. Some of the ladies have publicly bitten the hand that feeds them by blaming the network and the show’s producers for making them look like negligent, irresponsible, or otherwise unfit parents.  Back in March, Leah Messer slammed Teen Mom 2 editors after she was criticized by viewers for seemingly rushing her daughters off to school without breakfast. Just this week, Jenelle Evans threatened to quit the show after a scene in which her boyfriend, David Eason, referred to her 6-year-old son as a “bitch” was captured on camera. (We’re not sure how she can blame that one on editing, but it’s best not to try and understand Jenelle’s reasoning.) But it’s not just the Carolina Hurricanes and Hot Messers who have been critical of the show and its creators. Viewers have frequently taken to social media to demand the show’s cancelation on the grounds that it sets a bad example to young mothers, encourages self-destructive behavior in its stars, or damages the lives of their young children. View Slideshow: 25 Most Insane Teen Mom Moments of All Time (Though it’s worth noting that teen pregnancy has dramatically declined in the years since 16 and Pregnant debuted, a fact that many attribute in part to the popularity of the  Teen Mom franchise.) Apparently fed up with the criticism he receives from all sides, longtime TM2 producer Morgan J. Freeman (the “J” is crucial) vented his frustrations on Twitter today: “Sometimes having more eyes on a situation is inherently safer than none,” Freeman tweeted, apparently addressing critical viewers. “Do your homework.” He added, “You are the eyes. this is the process … I can’t make people do what I’d prefer they do. Can you?” Freeman then took down both hate-watchers and the Teen Moms themselves by reminding everyone that the role of documentary and reality television crews has traditionally to observe, not to intervene or skew perception: “We document what is happening,” he wrote. “We are not parents. We are not police. We do open up powerful discourse about many many things. That is good.” It’s an important reminder to both the stars of the show and the folks who are disgusted by their behavior that no one is responsible for what Leah and Jenelle do – except for Leah and Jenelle. Watch Teen Mom 2 online to decide for yourself if the show is an innocuous entertainment, a force for good, or a cancer on society.

Zendaya Fired Racially Clueless Publicist Who Told Her To Hush Up And “Just Be Happy To Be A Black Girl On A Magazine Cover”

Zendaya Fired Publicist Over Racial Insensitivity Zendaya is no stranger to publicly standing up to racial insensitivity and general white ignorance. But now the teen mogul is revealing that she fights the power in her private life as well, and is no stranger to having to regulate on behalf of her race within her own camp. Zendaya says once upon a time , her publicist told her to sit down and hush when it came to her janky hair and makeup during a photoshoot, saying she should just be happy they even bothered to give a little Black girl a chance… Needless to say, that pub is no longer around. Via NYDN : The 19-year-old actress and singer appears on the July cover of Cosmopolitan and shared with the mag her experiences working with racially insensitive people and her return to Disney. “I didn’t like my hair and makeup one time on a photo shoot, and my publicist told me, ‘You should just be happy with it — they haven’t had a black girl on the cover since forever,’” Coleman said. “She’s no longer my publicist.” The actress and recent face of CoverGirl — who found fame on the series “Shake it Up” — will return to the Disney Channel in a position of more power: co-producer. Coleman will both star and produce the upcoming series “K.C. Undercover,” which she says will hopefully help increase diversity for the network. “The only way I was going to come back to the Disney Channel was if I was in a position of more power,” she said. “One thing that is really important to me is diversity on the channel. It’s hard as a young person of a different ethnicity or background to look at the TV and not see anyone who looks like you. Representation is important,” she continued. Good for Zendaya! Shame on her publicist for trying to quiet her down and make her accept the BS. If she’s willing to stand up that way at in her tender teen years, we can only imagine how hard she’ll go when she’s a full-grown adult! WENN/Splash

Jinger Duggar Talks Courtship, Anna Duggar Opens Up About Josh Scandal in New Counting On Trailer

After the cancelation of 19 Kids and Counting last summer , some thought (and many hoped) that the Duggars would never return to television. Now, the biggest brood in reality TV is coming back to TLC with a full season of Jill & Jessa: Counting On,  which the network test-ran as a limited run spinoff in December. The first Counting On teaser didn't offer much in the way of new information. The full trailer released today, however, gives us a good idea of what to expect from the Duggar gang. There are some light scenes such as when Jana and Jinger are asked about courting . (They dodge the question like seasoned pros.) Or when things get dangerous after the Duggars decide to “go big” while constructing a tree house for the compound. But, of course, there are darker moments, as well, such as when Anna Duggar opens about the highly-publicized infidelity of her husband, Josh: “I don’t know what I’m stepping into,” she tells the camera. “I don’t know how to handle each situation…It’s not anything I ever would have thought I would walk through.” Like we said, things get heavy. Fortunately, Ben Seewald is there to provide unintentional comic relief by attempting to rap and change a diaper.

Chris Brown Says Rapey Things, Does a Joker Impression in Creepy Video

Last we checked in on Chris Brown, he was begging Karrueche Tran to take him back via heartfelt song lyrics. Okay, he mostly bragged about how many times he cheated on her and then implied that she'll never do any better, but they were heartfelt by Chris Brown standards, dammit! Unfortunately, if you thought that meant the beginning of a kinder, gentler Chris Brown, think again. Reminding the world that he's friends with Scott Disick for a reason (they're both douche bags), Chris posted a video to social media last night that pretty much sums up his entire public persona: stoned, misogynistic, possibly a cartoonish supervillain. Before you watch the clip below, be warned that Breezy appears to have engineered some sort of technology that's capable of capturing your actual nightmares and turning them into 8-second Instagram clips. “A lot of times, ladies don't like to give me the p-ssy on the first date – but in time, I'll smash,” Brown tells the camera in his best Heath Ledger voice. Thankfully, the clip cuts out before Chris has a chance to elaborate on his plan to convince unsuspecting women to have sex with him. Can every actor who ever played Batman just gang up and kick this dude's ass already? We're counting on you, Adam West!

Courtney Stodden Talks Marriage, Pregnancy Rumors in New Interview

Courtney Stodden has a new reality show to promote (the impressively hot messy-looking Mother/Daughter Experiment on Lifetime), which means she’s been making the media rounds to talk about everything from her relationship with her mom (it’s not good), to her marriage to Doug Hutchison (somehow, it’s still solid). Last we checked in on her, Courtney was talking about how her mother tried to steal her husband , so you might think her entire life would have a similarly Jerry Springer-eque vibe, but remarkably, things seem pretty stable for the 21-year-old professional giant-boob-haver. Though Courtney and Doug separated  in 2013 (and Courtney admitted to banging other dudes while they were apart), they’re back together now and still making their early-May, late-December romance work. (He’s 34 years her senior, FYI.): “Our relationship right now is really, really good,” Courtney recently told In Touch . “We’re really strong and we’re very happy. We’re getting ready to celebrate our fifth wedding anniversary and we’re absolutely going to renew our vows for our fifth wedding anniversary. So, yeah, we’re doing really, really well!” Yes, Courtney married a 50-year-old when she was 16, and she’s somehow lasted 5 years, so the fact that she can’t fix her relationship with her mom really makes us think the mom is to blame: “We’re still not completely close,” Court said when asked about the reality show that was supposed to help them them work things out . “But we’re better off than where we were when we entered The Mother/Daughter Experiment.” As for those rumors that Courtney is pregnant  – Stodden says they’re bogus, and she and Hutchison are content with their twin pooches these days: “I don’t know if we’re ready for a baby right now. We have two little fur babies, so those are kind of our babies right now. But, you never know!”  So why was Courney spotted buying pregnancy tests back in October? Well, sometimes you need a prop to get those paparazzi flashbulbs poppin’. Did we mention the girl is pretty much only famous for having big boobs and marrying an old dude?
