Alaskan Bush People Season 9 Premiere Date Revealed!

As we reported last fall, Alaskan Bush People was renewed for Season 9 . That ninth season now has a premiere date. And it’s sooner than you might think. Take a look: According to The Discovery Channel, no actual release date has been officially announced for Alaskan Bush People . But that doesn’t mean that a date hasn’t been set. They just haven’t chosen to reveal it yet. However, TV Insider has reported that the captivating reality series will begin airing again on Sunday, March 3. Three new episodes will begin airing at 8pm on that date, the report says. Take note that we’re reporting this at the end of January, right before the shortest month of the year.  If this report holds true, you’ll be seeing Alaskan Bush People within 32 days. The landscape that you see here in this landscape photo snapped by 16-year-old Rain Brown is not of Alaska, but of Washington. Handling the family’s transition from living in both Alaska and Beverly Hills to living in rural Washington was only part of last season’s struggle. The entire family adjusted to their new life, but most of everyone’s attention was on family matriarch Ami Brown. Ami had survived a lengthy cancer battle — one that was widely expected to claim her life in 2017. But Ami is still around — and continuing to be regularly screened for the cancer’s resurgence. And she was not the only member of the family whose personal ups and downs captured the attention of fans. In November, Matt Brown checked out of rehab after 30 days. This time, he is committed to remaining sober. He is reportedly making use of meetings, a sober coach, and the emotional support of his family. This was his second time in rehab, but the first was years ago. Matt explained that he relapsed during his mother’s cancer battle. Almost all substance abuse is some sort of coping mechanism. We are so glad that Matt is taking these steps to secure his health. Noah Brown will welcom a new Alaskan Bush baby with his wife, Rhain Aisha. Their due date is this spring. Noah was sometimes seen as the family “black sheep” by fans, but they were overjoyed to see him tie the knot. He and Rhain married after a not-too-lengthy engagement. Hey, when you know, you know. Rain shared this photo some time ago of herself third-wheeling with her brother, Gabe Brown, and his girlfriend. Raquell Rose and Rain are besties, so she’s of course happy that the two of them are so happy together. In October, it was reported that Gabe Brown may marry Raquell . Neither of them ever made an actual announcement. However, perhaps inspired by Noah’s nuptials (that’s just fan speculation, though), Gabe reportedly filed for a marriage license late last year. We do not yet know their current status, but we are of course very happy for them. And that brings us to Rain, who turned 16 years old last November. Though the youngest in the family (until Rhain gives birth), Rain is the family’s de facto spokesperson. Rain’s social media presence boasts nearly 100,000 Instagram followers. She has been open about discussing her emotional highs and lows. “Don’t let the clouds fool you,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself in the sunlight. “The sun’s always there” “Stay strong,” she tagged her post. “Stay happy.” Rain has been very open with fans and followers about her battle with depression. As recently as Wednesday morning, she took to Instagram to deliver an update. “Some days are so bad all you can do is lay in bed,” she confesses. “On those days,” Rain writes. “It helps to have an angel by your side.” “Love you mr PT bardum,” she praises her cat. “You’re my strength.” “It’s okay not to be okay,” she tagged the post. She is absolutely right. We cannot wait to catch up with the whole family on March 3! In the mean time, we look forward to seeing a trailer in the next few weeks.

Josh Duggar: Spotted Filming Scenes For Counting On?!

For years now, rumors of Josh Duggar returning to Counting On have been circulating non-stop on social media. Come to think of it, those rumors began almost immediately after the Josh Duggar sex scandals that threatened to destroy his family’s media empire back in 2015. Once it became clear that the Duggars would not simply slink back into obscurity, as so many had hoped, many assumed the family would eventually figure out a way to reintroduce the known molester to their fan base. And now, we regret to inform you that it looks as though that day has come. As In Touch Weekly points out Josh was recently spotted in wife Anna’s Instagram stories. That may not sound like such a big deal, as Josh frequently makes appearances on his wife’s social media pages. But this time around, Anna’s eagle-eyed followers picked up on something highly unusual about the pics. As you can see, Josh seems to have assumed the master of ceremonies role at what appears to be a gathering of young Duggars. Again, nothing terribly unusual about that, as — for reasons that defy logic — the Duggars still allow Josh around their children. But what’s got the rumor mill working overtime this week is a pic that comes later in Anna’s IG story. This photo was taken at the same gathering, and again, it doesn’t appear that there’s anything out of the ordinary about it. If you look closely, however, you’ll notice that there appears to be a cameraman standing just out of frame on the right side. For obvious reasons, this has led many to the conclusion that the party was filmed for an upcoming episode of Counting On . Given that he was spotted addressing the room with a microphone in his hande on multiple occasions, would it even be possible to edit Josh out of the scene , as the show has done in the past? Timing-wise this might be Josh’s best opportunity to try and weasel his way back on TV. Astonishingly, the recent Josh and Anna comeback tour has been well-received by a disturbingly large segment of the Duggar fanbase. Here’s hoping a much larger group is nauseated by the idea of a known child molester being paid to appear on television, and will boycott the hell out of TLC is such a thing is allowed to happen.

Kourtney Kardashian on New Boyfriend Rumors: Here’s the TRUTH!

Just days ago, Kourtney Kardashian was spotted with David Dee Duron as the two left Nobu Malibu. Rumors and speculation quickly circulated that the two of them were dating. They're hot and together, so why not? Now, Kourtney has posted a video and revealed that things were not quite what they seemed. “Last week we go out with Kourtney [Kardashian] and some friends,” Jason Kennedy shared with Giuliana Rancic in an E! News clip. “And,” Jason continued. “I jokingly said to my buddy, David [Duron], ‘hey, walk Kourtney to her car.'” Most of us walk our friends to their cars because the world is a dangerous place, especially for women. Most of us, however, are not mega-famous millionaires who are photographed everywhere they go. Jason shares that he told his friends: “'We’ll see if the paparazzi or anybody bites.’” They sure did. It turns out that Kourtney is a bit of a prankster, right? She shared the clip of Jason explaining it all. Imposed above the video were Kourtney's own words. “And cropped the other seven people out of the photos,” Kourtney accused. “Of course.” Clearly, this is intended as an indictment of the entertainment news industry's use of paparazzi photos. Entertainment news is what helped to make the Kardashians the successes that they are today. It fuels interest in them and their activities and keeps fans hooked. However, the Kardashians have a complicated relationship with the media. Sometimes, things get out that they wanted to keep secret. Other times, they feel that constant speculation by fans and blogs alike can harm their real-life relationships or even mental health. It sounds like Kourtney was just frustrated that every guy she's spotted with is assumed to be giving her the business. In real life, Kourtney and David are just friends. In fact, it sounds like their relationship is more about lots of mutual friends — which is how plenty of friendships form. We can only imagine how many messages (or, gasp, even phone calls) David has received over just a few days. From relatives to former classmates to friends, people want to know if you're boning a Kardashian. Especially if that Kardashian is the hottest of the OG sisters. And, zero offense to Kim or Khloe, but that's Kourtney. Was it a little hinky that seven entire people were allegedly cropped out of a photo? Yes. But we should point out that if you jokingly make people believe something … they might just believe it. Kourtney knows that, Jason knows that, and presumably, 27-year-old David knows that. At least, if David didn't know that before, he sure does now. It's also not exactly unfair for people to assume that Kourtney might be dating again. It was very recently that Kourtney lamented that being single sucks . She shared a screencap of an iconic scene from Notting Hill . (It was the “I'm just a girl” line, in case you weren't sure from the start) Within the screencap, Kourt confessed to wanting to once again be in love. If you have romantic inclinations, not being in love can sometimes feel less fulfilling. You miss the rush of romance. Kourtney will have no trouble finding an actual man. Why? Because she's gorgeous, rich, and famous. Everyone knows her name. Whether it's a young stud hoping to get a little name recognition or Kourtney falls for a friend with whom she has so much in common, it'll happen. The cycle of courtship — or kourtship — and romance and breakups will continue.

Airline Passenger Fat-Shames Travelers, Declares: I Eat Salads!

To be clear, the racist homophobes who attacked Jussie Smollett are the worst people on the planet. But the woman featured on this video has to rank among the bottom 10. In footage that has been viewed by nearly three million people on Facebook, this unnamed passenger was on board a United Airline flight last week when she very openly and very loudly complained about the people sitting on each side of her. The woman is in a middle seat and telling someone on the phone that the folks to her left and right are simply gross and overweight. She's saying this very much in their presence, of course. “Oh my goodness, I don’t know how I’m going to do this the next four hours. This is just impossible because they’re squishing me,” she says in the video, adding: “At least they’ll keep me warm.” After hanging up, the woman asks a flight attendant to find her a window seat and “get me out of here [because] I can’t do this.” At this point, one of the people who was the victim of the fat-shaming speaks up and says to the same flight attendant: “Excuse me, can you find her another seat? Because I will not be verbally abused by this bitch or anybody else.” When the awful individual is finally told that, yes, she can change seats, she announce for all to hear: “Thank goodness, because I eat salad, okay?” Fortunately, many other passengers then spoke out in defense of the victims and against this despicable lady. “You should be ashamed of yourself, what you’re doing is so terrible,” one person says, to which she replies: “I’m not going to be politically correct. Why don’t you sit between those two big pigs?” Thankfully, this story has a positive ending: The abuser was eventually escorted off the plane. “United flight attendants care about the safety and well being of all of our customers which is why they acted quickly to find a different seat for the disruptive customer,” a United spokesman said. “When it became clear that this passenger’s behaviour was likely to be problematic on this flight, she was provided alternate travel arrangements first thing the next morning.” WATCH THE INCIDENT UNFOLD HERE.

Jussie Smollett Receives Outpouring of Love After Hate Crime Beating

On Tuesday, January 29, the internet was horrified by news of the vicious hate crime committed against Empire actor Jussie Smollett . He was beaten, called racist and homophobic slurs, doused with bleach, and a noose was wrapped around his neck. During the assault, the monsters said to him: “This is MAGA country.” Unspeakable. Jussie was hospitalized for multiple injuries, including a cracked rib from the beating. It turns out that just over a week ago, his life was threatened in a hateful letter that may be linked to the crime itself. Police are investigating it as a “possible” hate crime (that's legal jargon for definitely a hate crime ). In the mean time, celebrities are in the same place as the rest of us: shocked, angry, and wondering what they can do. They have taken to social media to voice their support for him and openly wonder at the evil in some people's hearts. 1. Jussie Smollett is Lucky to be Alive Jussie was attacked at 2am outside of a Chicago Subway on Tuesday, January 29. He was beaten by two men, who yelled both racist and homophobic slurs at him and identified him from his role on Empire. He was doused with an “unknown chemical substance,” believed to be bleach, and a noose was wrapped around his neck. He was hospitalized but released later that day. One of his injuries was a cracked rib. 2. Police are on the case TMZ reports that they’ve already acquired some CCTV footage within 12 hours of the assault, and are looking to obtain more, as well as speak to potential eyewitnesses. In the mean time, celebrities feel just like his friends do — utterly hopeless in the face of such an evil attack. And so they are tweeting their support for him, expressing shock, anger, love, and even hope. 3. Zendaya Spider-Man actress Zendaya was one of the first stars to tweet her horror at what happened. 4. Viola Davis Viola Davis is one of the most acclaimed black actresses in film or on television. 5. Janet Mock Janet Mock is a famous trans woman, and she is also a black woman. She knows as well as Jussie does how dangerous the world can be for those who are both black and LGBTQ+. Like Jussie, she has two targets on her back. 6. Andy Cohen Andy is one of the most famous gay men on the planet. This attack was a sobering reminder to everyone that an attack like this can not only happen to someone famous — it can happen BECAUSE someone is famous. View Slideshow

Kate Middleton & Meghan Markle: Relentless Bullying Leads To #HelloToKindness Movement!

Kensington Palace spends an awful amount of time overseeing negative comments directed towards Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.  The amount of social media backlash is honestly tiring.  Can we all embrace the idea that the two royal sisters-in-law may not actually hate each other? A source tells Hello! magazine that within recent months the online bullying has greatly increased, ranging from pitting Meghan and Kate against each other to violent threats.  “The palace has always monitored comments, but it’s a hugely time-consuming thing,” the insider says. “They can block certain words but some of it is quite serious.”  Last year there were hundreds of thousands of comments, two or three which were violent threats.  According to the source, “you can delete and report and block people and the police have options around particular people.” But, it is up to the palace to manage every comment coming in, because that is the only way to control the situation and protect the Duchesses.  A lot of hours are being spent reviewing the old material and cleaning up comments under posts.  Meghan deleted all of her social media accounts prior to her marriage with Prince Harry and Kate has never had any personal pages to begin with. So, you may be wondering how the two receive such backlash when they are both absent from the social media world? However, Kensington Palace shares all the up-to-date news about the royal family, along with magazine’s social media sites. And that is where we see the trolls’ surface.  Trolls, in this case is referring to Meghan supporters vs. Kate supporters.  The source tells Hello! that some of the worst stuff is between Meghan fans and Kate fans arguing over “who looks more appropriate.” Which then, of course, escalates to personal attacks. And while the comments and arguing continue on, the source asks, “what are the consequences of this?”  In response, The Hello! magazine has launched the #HelloToKindness campaign to combat negative online behavior.  The campaign is also intended to make the trolls think twice before posting obstructive comments. Social media should be a positive and uplifting space!  Thanks to the campaign, hopefully it’ll give a ‘times up’ message to all the body shamers, name callers and well, the real peasants of the world.  Emily Nash, a royal reporter at Hello! tells CNN that she finds it all to be particularly sexist.  “You have people comparing them in a way that doesn’t really happen with men – ‘she’s walking funny, or her heels are too high, or her legs are too skinny'” Once Meghan and Harry began their relationship back in 2016, the Prince confirmed their relationship by a rare public statement, slamming the sexist and racist comments that had been targeted at his new girlfriend. The statement read:  “His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, has been subject to a wave of abuse and harassment. Some of this has been very public… It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm. He knows commentators will say this is ‘the price she has to pay’ and that ‘this is all part of the game.’ He strongly disagrees. This is not a game – it is her life and his.”  We can only hope the #HelloToKindness movement will make a true change throughout society and end the bullying that the royals do not deserve.  Besides, if we have learned anything from the Queen herself, it is that one can never own too many hats and that love can endure!  View Slideshow: Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Attend Church on Christmas: See! We’re Totally Best Friends!

Ryan Edwards to Remain Behind Bars Until AT LEAST April!

More bad news for Ryan Edwards, as the Teen Mom OG star continues to experience major fallout from his latest brush with the law. Last week, Edwards was arrested after skipping out on a $36 tab at a bar near his hometown in Tennessee. Because of an outstanding bench warrant and the fact that Edwards was on probation at the time of his arrest, his relatively minor theft of services charge could carry some major legal consequences. Ryan has been denied bail, and will therefore remain in police custody for the foreseeable future. “The case has been continued to April 15, 2019,” a judicial clerk for the town of Red Bank, Tennessee tells Radar.  “He’s going to serve time in county jail until then.” Yes, that means Ryan will be spending at least the next six weeks behind bars. After that, a judge will decide his fate — and considering the length of Ryan’s rap sheet, the father of two is likely very concerned at the moment. Edwards has been arrested four times in the past two years. Most of the charges against him are tied to his ongoing substance abuse issues. Back in November, Edwards left rehab after completing a 90-day course of treatment. Those who know the troubled 30-year-old best say that he appeared to be fully committed to the hard work of sobriety. Edwards missed the birth of his son Jagger in order to see his treatment through to its completion. His young wife Mackenzie Standifer described Ryan’s time in rehab as the longest 90 days of her life, but she remained persistent in her belief that it would all be worth if her husband were to finally get clean. On his social media page, Edwards wrote that drugs had nearly ruined his life , and he cautioned fans against following the dangerous path that had led him to the brink of destruction. Truly, it seemed as though Ryan has turned a corner. Unfortunately, less than two months after his release, Edwards was once again behaving erratically and running afoul of the law.  “Edwards had ordered six Jack Daniels Whiskey drinks, totaling $36, and left without paying for them,” reads a police report from the day of his arrest. Ryan has a court date for the theft of services charge in early February, but he will not be tried for the possession charge until April. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and keep you updated as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards Arrest Details: He Drank (6 Whiskeys!), He Dashed, He Got Caught

Kailyn Lowry: I Don’t Vaccinate My Kids, and I Don’t Care What You Think!

People have lots of feelings about vaccinations. Like, so many feelings. It's been a hot topic in recent years because more and more people believe that vaccinations are harmful. Of course, science says otherwise, and so does history: diseases like smallpox and polio haven't been in issue in decades in the U.S. You know, because of vaccinations. But still, some people think otherwise. And it turns out that Kailyn Lowry is one of those people. 1. Mom of Three Kailyn has three sons: Isaac, her oldest son with ex Jo Rivera, Lincoln, the kid she had with Javi Marroquin, and of course there’s Lux, the baby she shares with Chris Lopez. 2. Criticism And honestly, a lot of Teen Mom fans are torn on their views of her as a parent. 3. Solid Points Some believe that she’s an amazing mother, and that she’s doing an especially awesome job with her kids considering her own upbringing. 4. Hmmm … Others say that having three children with three different men is just too chaotic. 5. A Solution But as torn as Teen Mom viewers have been on the subject, this latest revelation has pretty much everyone on the same side. 6. Apologies! And sorry, but it’s definitely not the pro-Kailyn side. View Slideshow

Celebrity Big Brother Recap: Here’s What Really Happened to Anthony Scaramucci

When the Celebrity Big Brother live feeds opened on Tuesday night, many eagle-eyed viewers noticed a glaring omission to the cast: Anthony Scaramucci. The man who lasted ten or eleven days inside the White House had seemingly left the Big Brother house in just six days.  While he resurfaced at an event in Switzerland, Friday’s episode of the CBS juggernaut was all about filling in the blanks.  It turns out, Anthony was always supposed to stay in the house for a handful of days. He appeared via video message in a President Trump-like set-up and revealed the new to his houseguests.  “I’m actually not a Big Brother houseguest, but I am part of a Big Brother twist” the former White House Director of Communications revealed at the top of the hour. “Just like I left my mark in Washington, I’m going to leave my mark on the Big Brother game. First off: From this moment on, I’m out of the house.” “That means you’re all one step closer to the quarter-million dollar prize. The Big Brother house is just like my experience in Washington; you get judged quickly before people know who you really are — and you don’t get a second chance.” “So I’m giving the current nominees a second chance at safety.” With that, we learned that there was one more veto competition for the week, giving Jonathan and Tom a second chance to get off the block.  Before that, Ryan had to nominate another houseguest to take the Mooch’s place on the block.  He chose Kandi Burruss, citing the fact that their personalities “don’t really mesh.” Yes, really, and Kandi was pissed.  Ryan immediately followed up her nomination by trying to hug her, but she was not about all the fakery, so she told the Olympian to keep his distance from her.  Kato won the special POV, meaning the nominations would remain the same, or they could be changed in some way.  Kato went with saving his ally, Tom, and Ryan was forced to nominate another houseguest. He went with Joey Lawrence this time.  Dina votes to evict: Kandi  Kato votes to evict: Jonathan Tamar votes to evict: Jonathan Ricky votes to evict: Jonathan Tom votes to evict: Jonathan  Lolo votes to evict: Jonathan Natalie votes to evict: Jonathan Jonathan was the first houseguest evicted.  “It went really well, Julie,” Jonathan complained, adding: “Don’t team up with a gold medalist as soon as you enter the house. It’ll put a target on your back.” As for Julie, well she dragged Jonathan for trying to save Dina and not telling his allies.  What are your thoughts on the first eviction? Hit the comments below.  Big Brother continues Sunday at 8/7c on CBS.  View Slideshow: Big Brother: Meet the Most Controversial Houseguests

Ryan Edwards Arrest Details: He Drank, He Dashed, He Got Caught

It's very easy to make Ryan Edwards jokes right now. The former Teen Mom star just got arrested for the umpteenth time for drug possession and may be headed back to prison. But Maci Bookout's ex-husband and Mackenzie Standifer's current husband clearly has a legitimate problem. He has an addiction. He also has a newborn son at home. The poor little guy. So we aren't gonna blast Ryan here, we're just gonna relay the latest from his arrest. Courtesy of a Chattanooga Police Department report obtained by Radar Online, here is what we now know… 1. This is What Prompted the Arrest: A Bud’s Sports Bar server contacted the authorities after Edwards drank and dashed on December 19, 2018. 2. What Does That Mean? It means Edwards skipped out on his restaurant tab. He tried not to pay it. 3. How Much Did He Owe? “Edwards had ordered six Jack Daniels Whiskey drinks, totaling $36, and left without paying for them” the report reads. (That’s a pretty good deal for whiskey drinks, we agree.) 4. For How Long Was He at the Bar? From noon to 4 p.m., police say. 5. From There… An officer tracked down Ryan through the Criminal Justice Portal and the server confirmed his identity through this photo. A warrant was issued for his arrest. 6. Cue the Arrest The father of two was arrested on January 23, 2019. Hamilton County charged him with theft of services and held him on $500 bond. Ryan was also charged with possession of heroin from a Red Bank warrant. He’s being held on no bond for the second charge. View Slideshow
