Chyna is no stranger to controversy but set a lot of the record straight during her visit and reveal the juicy details of her and Tyga’s breakup, how she got with Rob Kardashian and who is the better lover between the two. According to Blac Chyna, she knew she and Tyga’s relationship was over when she was kicked out his house only to find out he was planning Kylie’s 17th birthday. “With relationships, sometimes things don’t work out,” she explained. “Then also, sometimes things just kind of like spread you different ways, and I guess maybe that’s kind of what was going on. The way that it went about, like publicly, wasn’t right. Even not publicly it wasn’t right.” Chyna revealed Tyga was indeed dating Kylie when she was 16. And also said she didn’t get with Rob Kardashian to spite the Kardashian family. She said Rob had been DM’ing her for months before she responded to him one lonely night in her hotel room. They agreed to meet up and sparks flew. When asked who was the overall better lover, Chyna hesitated to answer then responded, Rob. Watch it, below: RELATED STORIES: Chile, The Ghetto!

So… did your favorite show survive? With most network television shows wrapping up their current seasons in mid-May, viewers around the country have been on the edges of their seats due to a number of suspenseful finales. But also for another, more meaningful reason: They've been anxious about these programs airing any episodes beyond said finales. Indeed, it's renewal/cancellation time around the TV dial, with all four major networks making major announcements over the course of the past few days. The following shows did not make it. They have been canceled. Which will be the most painful to never watch ever again? 1. I Feel Bad This NBC sitcom centered on a mother and wife who didn’t ever feel appreciated at home. Alas, it wasn’t appreciated by viewers, either. 2. The Cool Kids Not cool at all, according to Fox viewers. They never cared about this very lame sitcom. 3. The Passage This Fox drama was based on popular source material. But it probably should have been on HBO or something. 4. Lethal Weapon The off-screen drama was more interesting than anything on screen for this Fox drama, which is gone after three seasons. 5. Star Forgive the obvious pun here, but this Fox drama will not be shining bright for the network in 2020. 6. Murphy Brown We loved the original, but what was CBS thinking bringing this back for a revival?!? View Slideshow

Congratulations are in order for Samantha Markle. Despite her expected rude comments in the wake of her half-sister and Prince Harry welcoming a son named Archie into the world on Monday… this bitter waste of television air time is no longer responsible for the most insensitive reaction to the arrival of the Royal Baby. Indeed, that dishonor has firmly been claimed instead by BBC host Danny Baker. A veteran broadcaster in Great Britain, the 61-year old reacted to Markle and Harry debuting their precious newborn to the world yesterday by… … Tweeting a photo of a chimp in a suit holding hands with a smartly dressed couple and writing as a caption; “Royal baby leaves hospital.” The snapshot, naturally, sparked immediate outrage due to the clear racist undertones against Markle, whose mother, Doria Ragland, is African American. Faced with this strongly deserved backlash, Baker deleted the message and said he was sorry the “gag” had “whipped some up.” He then claimed the negative connotations had not occurred to him because his “mind (is) not diseased,” taking the impressively bold approach of accusing critics of racism for pointing out his racism. In a second message, Baker said that the tweet was “supposed to be a joke about Royals vs circus animals in posh clothes but interpreted as about monkeys & race, so rightly deleted. Royal watching not my forte.” On Thursday, the broadcaster said he made an “enormous mistake.” But it was far too late to save his job. “This was a serious error of judgment and goes against the values we as a station aim to embody,” said a BBC spokesperson yesterday, adding: “Danny’s a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us.” As you can see above, Baker tried to save face by appealing directly to Meghanm, Harry and their son, writing online: Would have used same stupid pic for any other Royal birth or Boris Johnson kid or even one of my own. It’s a funny image. (Though not of course in that context.) Enormous mistake, for sure. Grotesque. Anyway, here’s to ya Archie, Sorry mate. But then he also referred to his firing as a “masterclass of pompous faux-gravity” and slammed the network for taking this course of action by Tweeting: “Took a tone that said I actually meant that ridiculous tweet and the BBC must uphold blah blah blah,” he added. “Literally threw me under the bus. Could hear the suits knees knocking. #Fuckem. Ever since the announcement of her pregnancy, Markle has been a target of racist abuse across social media. In March, the Kensington Palace staff announced it would devote a bevy of resources to deleting comments targeting the Duchess of Sussex, and also to blocking abusive Twitter and Instagram accounts. Moreover, the Royal household issued a set of guidelines for people engaging with its social media channels. It’s all very disturbing, but we’re gonna choose to focus on the positive here instead — which is that Archie has arrived! “Mother and baby are doing incredibly well,” Harry said in his first public comments since becoming a father, adding in lovable fashion “This has been the most amazing experience I could possibly imagine. How any woman does what they do is beyond comprehension.” Amen, Prince. View Slideshow: Royal Baby Photos: Who Wore Their Blanket Best?
Earlier this week, we reported on a development that millions have been eagerly awaiting, in some cases for years: Following the most scandalous week of her career, Jenelle Evans was fired from Teen Mom 2. In the wake of the announcement, there's been much talk about what's next for Jenelle. Meanwhile, Jenelle herself has remained uncharacteristically quiet. The situation has prompted many to speculate that she knows something we don't. Take a look: 1. Jenelle on the Land Following the news that her husband, David Eason, shot and killed the family dog, fans demanded that MTV cut ties with the entire family. 2. Forgive and Get Fired Jenelle very briefly separated from David, but she was back living on the Land just a few days later. 3. The Campaign Petitions were circulated; sponsors withdrew their advertising dollars, and eventually, MTV made the announcement Teen Mom 2 fans have been waiting for. 4. Farewell, Easons “MTV ended its relationship with David Eason over a year ago in February 2018 and has not filmed any new episodes of Teen Mom 2 with him since,” a spokesperson for the network said. 5. Bye, Jenelle “Additionally, we have stopped filming with Jenelle Eason as of April 6, 2019, and have no plans to cover her story in the upcoming season,” the statement concluded. 6. Not So Fast? It seemed like a done deal, but now, there’s reason to believe that MTV may have left itself some wiggle room in that statement. View Slideshow
It can be tough to keep track of all the Duggar pregnancies these days. It seems not a week goes by without the family announcing that yet another #LittleDuggar is on the way, and if it’s reached the point where fans are feeling overwhelemed than surely the expectant mothers must really be feeling the pressure — right? Well, that might be the case for most families who are preparing to welcome five offspring before the end of the calendar year — but the Duggars are a different breed. From a young age, Jim Bob and Michelle’s children were taught that procreation was their primary reason for being. And so, while most 21 year olds might be feeling a little overwhelmed if they were expecting their second child in just over a year, Joy-Anna Duggar cleary feels this is exactly what she’s meant to be doing. Joy-Anna Duggar Ultrasound Joy shared the above ultrasound video with her Instagram followers this week. Fans were thrilled with the way Joy’s expectant bundle of joy moved about the uterus, and they were equally ecstatic with the news of exactly when the little tyke will be entering the world. “Finally got our 10 week ultrasound video downloaded!!” Joy captioned the clip. “Look how tiny it’s little arms and legs are!! Looking forward to meeting this baby in 6 & 1/2 months!!!” She added the hashtags: “#babyforsyth2 #6moremonthstogo #childrenareablessingfromGod” Needless to say, it’s all very on-brand for the Duggar clan. Six and a half months means that the as-yet unnamed little boy or girl will likely be arriving sometime in mid- to late-November. Joy and husband Austin Forsyth appear to be absolutely over the moon — despite the complications that she experienced during her last pregnancy. Joy welcomed her first child, son Gideon, back in February. And to say that the birth didn’t go smoothly would be a massive understatement. Like so many of her sisters, Joy was planning a home birth, but shen had ton be rushed to a nearby hospital when it was discovered that the baby was breech. Thankfully, both mother and son were unharmed by the difficult delivery. And it seems the painful experience left Joy without any trepidation. And as a bonus, this time around, she and Austin don’t have to grapple with those ugly “shotgun wedding” rumors. That must feel like a pleasant change of pace.
Even Duggar fans were hesitant to celebrate the news that Anna Duggar is pregnant with baby #6 . Imagine the burden and stigma of growing up with that creep Josh Duggar as your father! After all of those scandals! Well, Josh is embroiled in yet another scandal, and is begging a judge to let him off the hook. As we previously reported, Josh Duggar is being sued for trying to steal a man’s land . See, Josh used his wealth to buy up a bunch of land in Arkansas. It’s a free country, and he can do that. But you have to tell the owner about it and give him the money, first. Josh thinks that he bought the land, but a man named Carl Echols bought the land in 2006. Since then, he has paid taxes on the property and even lived on it. The specifics are that, in 2016, Josh’s real estate company, ALB Investments, purchased five acres of land. If you want an idea of how remote this land is, the purchase price was apparently a mere $1,000. Of course, Echols says that he paid $17,500 when he bought the land from his cousin, Edward L. Lewis. Now, Echols is suing Lewis for breach of contract — for, you know, selling land that he didn’t own and hadn’t owned in a decade. And he’s suing ALB Investments for the land title. Earlier this month, Josh’s attorneys have argued that ALB Investments are in “good standing.” (And sure, if you don’t count being owned by a guy who famously molested 5 little girls, The legal team is asking the judge to remove them from the lawsuit, arguing that they should never have been a part of it in the first place. The judge has yet to make a ruling, but Josh is asking that his name be removed from the matter. Truth be told, it sounds like ALB Investments is just as much a victim in this as Echols himself. Josh occassionally appears in Duggar group photos, where they hope to sneak him in without reprisal from fans. It’s been years since Josh Duggar has appeared on reality television, and it’s not by choice. TLC may allow Jim Bob and Michelle on their show, but even that network has to draw the line somewhere. Josh’s cheating scandal and his (lol) “porn scandal” were big deals for his family. But it was when it was revealed that Josh had molested five young girls, including his younger sisters, that viewers raised hell and Josh got fired. The fact that Jim Bob and Michelle had worked to cover this up got 19 Kids and Counting canceled. By the skin of their teeth, the Duggars managed to remain on television, piggybacking onto the spinoff, Counting On . But even though his family believes that his evil deeds have been wiped away through his faith, Josh is persona non grata for the network. That has had a real impact on his livelihood, and forced him to focus upon his business interests. Josh has a used car business, and is estimated to be worth about $200,000. That’s no chump change, and it means that he can certainly absorb the $1,000 property loss without his soon-to-be-six children starving. But Jim Bob is worth millions, while Josh is merely comfortable . Josh has to work harder than some of his siblings, in part because he has so many mouths to feed. But also because he’s not raking in money from reality television — or the opportunities that accompany it. Frankly, nobody was going to seek product endorsements from Josh before this lawsuit. And land-stealer isn’t even on anybody’s Top 5 list on why Josh’s brand is deeply toxic. View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line? [UPDATED]
Well, that didn’t last long. Shortly after David Eason murdered his wife’s dog last week, Jenelle Evans made a smart decision for possibly the first time in her adult life. She packed up her kids and got the hell out of Dodge. This was the right thing to do primarily because it’s not safe for Jenelle and her kids to share a roof with a mentally unstable gun nut who’s prone to terrifying fits of rage. But it was also the right thing because if David actually experiences some consequences for a change, maybe he’ll eventually feel inspired to turn his life around and become the father his kids deserve. Unfortunately, that’s the kind of slow transformation that simply doesn’t happen in the space of a single week. And we learned on Saturday that Jenelle is back living with David after a separation of less than 5 days. “Where else would she go?” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “She has a farm to take care of. She’s back to the house to take care of the kids. How do you expect her to leave?” Judging by the fact that the insider actually referred to Jenelle’s collection of weeds and neglected animals as a farm, we can assume it’s a friend of hers. (It may even be Jenelle herself.) So we can also assume that the informant knows what she’s talking about when she says Evans issued Eason an ultimatum before returning to the Land: She made him promise that he’ll get a job and attend marriage counseling. “He needs to get a job, which is what he promised her,” the source says. “They’re trying to work on the relationship. They are getting a marriage counselor. They need time to work on the marriage.” Obviously, it’s almost impossible to imagine David either holding down a full-time job or sitting through an entire session with a therapist without storming off with his bottom lip quivering like a petulant toddler. Perhaps that’s why Jenelle is refusing to fully reconcile with David until he makes good on his promises. The insider says Evans “not back with him” yet, and is merely living at home for the convenience of it. These are tense times in Columbus County, as Jenelle is reportedly fearful that David will be arrested for animal cruelty . There’s also reason to believe Jenelle will finally be fired from Teen Mom 2 for her role in helping protect Eason from prosecution. “No word on the network,” the source says. “She’s not fired as of right now, that’s for sure. I don’t think they would fire her. We have other options if she gets fired.” If Nugget lost his life but got Jenelle fired in the process then he is officially the great savior of our time.

Fox has some good news for fans of Empire and also for embattled star Jussie Smollet: First, for viewers of this intense drama, the network has decided to renew it for a sixth season. Second, for Smollet itself, the network has decided NOT to bring him back as a regular cast member, meaning he has more time than ever before to orchestrate his next so-called attack . Sorry. Too soon? Executives have seemingly made a choice to pick up Empire for new episodes, yet have also made it clear that Smollett will not be returning. The statement issues by Fox is not as clear as it could be, however, leaving the door slightly open for the actor to one day reprise his role of Jamal. “By mutual agreement, the studio has negotiated an extension to Jussie Smollett’s option for season six, but at this time there are no plans for the character of Jamal to return to ‘Empire,” reads this message from Fox Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television. The statement comes on the heels of quite a past few months for Smollett. When we last saw his character, Jamal was getting married and seemingly getting sent off with a happy ending to his story. He had been written out of the final two Season 5 episodes following a bizarre, controversial and downright confounding run-in with the Chicago Police Department. As you must know by now, Smollett alleged that he was the victim of a hate crime in late January, claiming that two white men beat him up and screamed racial/anti-gay epithets in his direction. After an investigation, however, police actually arrested Smollett for falsifying a report and making up the entire incident. Just when it seemed as if he would go to jail or go to trial for his role in this very strange “assault,” the charges against Smollett were dropped. And yet… even after they were dropped… the Chicago Mayor and even the prosecutor who chose to drop them made it evident in public statements that they believed Smollett was guilty. The latter simply didn’t think it was worth wasting more city money and resources of his prosecution. Or something. It remains very confusing what happened there. But the bottom line is that Smollett is a free man and that his co-stars recently made it very cleae they want him back on Empire. Consider THIS STATEMENT they wrote in Smollett’s passionate defense. Signed by Terrence Howard, Taraji P. Henson, Gabourey Sidibe and others, the letter runs down Smollett’s charitable efforts and includes a section that reads: It is why now, more than ever, we must stand together as a family. A family is there for us in good times and bad. It can cut through the noise and confusion to understand that there is a person in the center of all this who deserves nothing more than to move forward with his life. Due to the negative coverage surrounding Smollett, however, it appears as if producers and higher-ups do not agree. Why is there still a chance he does appear on Season 6? The city of Chicago has filed a civil lawsuit against Smollett . Officials are looking to recoup the $130,000 in expenses that it spent in investigating the actor’s alleged attack, while also trying to get on some sort of legal record that the guy is guilty as sin. Perhaps if Smollett comes out on top in this case, Fox will reconsider his future on Empire. But it seems like a long shot at the moment. Empire’ continues to break barriers with its emotionally powerful storytelling, and it remains a core part of the Fox legacy, said Fox Entertainment’s president of entertainment Michael Thorn. They added on Tuesday evening: We want to thank everyone on the show – Taraji, Terrence and the entire cast, as well as Lee, Danny, Brett, Sanaa, Brian, Francie, Dennis and their teams – all of whom have done a tremendous job this season. We know there are so many more stories to tell, and we can’t wait to see what they have in store for Season Six. Will you continue to watch Empire without Smollett?
