Jenelle Evans and David Eason SLAMMED by Fellow Teen Mom Stars!

It’s been three days now since Jenelle Evans went a little bit crazy at the filming of the Teen Mom 2 reunion, and people still can’t stop talking about it. Because why would you stop talking about such a beautiful, trashy mess? According to witness on the scene of the meltdown, Jenelle flipped out because she saw Nathan Griffith’s new girlfriend, Ashley Landhardt, give her mother a hug. Sure, Jenelle won’t hug her mother because she feels like she wronged her somehow by taking care of her son when she decided partying was more important than parenting. But that doesn’t mean that good ol’ Barbara Evans can just go around, hugging anyone she pleases. Jenelle started yelling at Ashley for the transgression, not paying any mind to all the kids that were running around nearby or, you know, the fact that she was at a work event. In Nathan’s version of events , Jenelle chased Ashley down a hallway in the studio, screaming at her and cussing at her in classic Jenelle fashion. He asked for security, but no one ever came — though eventually Chelsea Houska stepped in to take poor Kaiser to a safer place. He said that he and Ashley were trying to calm the situation for the sake of the children, but Jenelle just couldn’t drop the drama, but in Jenelle’s story, she was the innocent victim in all of this. Jenelle Evans: Here’s What REALLY Happened at the Teen Mom 2 Reunion! According to her version of how things went down , Ashley attacked her so viciously that security had to pin her against the wall, and all she was trying to do was give Kaiser a hug. The two stories are pretty different, right? Which is weird when you consider that cameras were rolling, so one of their stories can easily be proven false. Also, there were lots of people around — MTV reality stars with active social media accounts and the willingness to dive into the fray. And that’s exactly what Randy Houska did. Randy, Chelsea’s father, likes to gossip about the show, which is fair — who doesn’t? And last weekend’s shenanigans were very, very easy to gossip about. He kicked things off by throwing out some sass about David Eason’s great balloon fiasco . You remember, that time at the filmed party Friday night when he took out a pocket knife and stabbed a bunch of balloons. After tweeting about how he missed a connecting flight home, someone replied with a joke about how he probably missed the flight because of balloons blocking his way. “I left my knife at the party,” Randy wrote. “I loaned it out and it was not returned.” Beautiful, right? And it only gets better. Once the news of the fight really started making the rounds, he tweeted that he watched both Nathan and Jenelle’s videos, and that everything happened exactly as Nathan described it. “Not that I am going to spill stuff out,” he said, “but I just want people to know what is truth and what is not to help prevent rumors.” He probably also wanted to get back at Jenelle, who’s been pretty cruel to both Randy and Chelsea recently. Remember when she called him a “fat f-ck” ? Randy’s statement was pretty tame, but David still felt the need to lash out at him on Instagram. See, according to Jenelle, MTV refused to serve alcohol to David at that party. That’s why he got mad and stabbed all those poor balloons. To hold up this story, David posted a video on Instagram of himself playing beer pong at the party — he called it a “fake game” because there was “no beer.” Someone asked him if the video was filmed before MTV cut him off, and he responded with “Nope they told me there was no beer the whole time and Randys fat ass is just mad I stole his jello shots lil bitch.” One of David’s followers told him to hush because “you’ll never be half the man Randy is,” and David hit back with “Obviously … he looks like a oversized bean bag chair.” Because you kind of have to resort to jokes about someone’s appearance when you’re a terrible human being who is constantly in the wrong, we guess. Randy saw a screenshot of David’s remarks, and he tweeted “Good Lord. I will address this tonight since I actually have a job to tend to. I can win this sh-t all day long.” Later, after getting some dentistry in, he explained that the jello shots in question were ones that MTV had made for a game called Jello Shot Roulette. He was sitting by the table where the game was set up, and when David grabbed a couple of shots, he informed him that they were supposed to be saved for filming, so to be sassy, David “grabs about 8 of them.” As always, some people called him out for gossiping, and he responded with this: “I get that I am an ‘old man’ & should not be slinging sh-t on twitter but kids are involved so I will go there and my sh-t is true #TeamDoris” OK, now here’s where things start to get a little complicated: there’s a Twitter account that’s supposed to belong to Jenelle’s rep, but most people think it’s just a secondary account for Jenelle herself. That account tweeted a screenshot of a text message exchange between a producer and Jenelle in which the producer asked who leaked all the gossip from the reunion. Jenelle answered that it was “Chelsea kail cole Leah Nathan and Ashley Nathan’s gf,” and the producer said that they “really need to get to the bottom of this” because “we can’t do a show like this with people talking sh-t.” Sure, it’s way likely a producer said all that, Jenelle definitely didn’t put all that into a text message generator or anything. Kailyn Lowry replied to the screenshot with “I wasn’t even there … why am I being brought into it?” Chelsea replied too, writing “Even the thought of cole talking about drama with a tabloid makes me giggle lol I could see why they would think every1 else..but cole?! Lol.” Randy revealed that Cole wasn’t even at the party when the balloon incident took place, he was back at the hotel with Watson and Aubree. David asked Chelsea where he was, and when she told him, he told her “that’s what grandparents are for.” In David and Jenelle’s world, maybe. A little while later, Randy hopped back on Twitter to explain that David was never “cut off” from drinking, but that MTV had scheduled periodic “alcohol timeouts” so that no one would get too wasted to film. Gary Shirley of Teen Mom OG fame tweeted that “People don’t release the blessing this show is for their personal gain hope they don’t ruin it for themselves and others. Shoot.” Jo Rivera responded to the whole story with a series of laughing emojis, and Courtland Rogers, Jenelle’s first husband, responded with “I don’t think that I have ever disliked someone this much in my entire life,” referring to David, “so to see some funny sh-t like this …” Leah Messer didn’t think it was all that funny though — she wrote “My friend was terrified actually. You just don’t know what to expect from anyone these days, and over alcohol??” “Last I checked, we were there to work and film a celebration while having a few drinks. It wasn’t the time to get lit…” So that’s Randy, Kailyn, Chelsea, Gary, Jo, Courtland, Nathan, and Leah, all coming down on Jenelle and David for their ridiculous actions. Wonder what kind of meltdown we’re going to see over this? View Slideshow: David Eason vs. Nathan Griffith: WILD Fight Shuts Down Teen Mom 2 Reunion!

LeBron James Is So Cheap, He Won’t Even Pay $4.99 A Month For Pandora

More here:

Source: Thearon W. Henderson / Getty LeBron James might be one of the highest paid athletes in the world, but he still doesn’t like to pay for things when he doesn’t have to. James and his newly reunited teammate Dwyane Wade sat down with one another for an interview to talk about what it feels like to finally be playing with one another again, and the conversation is hilarious. ESPN’s Rachel Nichols interviewed the two and released a snippet of the soon-to-be-released full interview, and both Cavs players seems to be in great spirits. She asks Wade who the cheapest player in the NBA is and then asks if he thinks LeBron is really jealous of his hair. My chat w/ @KingJames & @DwyaneWade debuts during MNF but here’s a little preview of what happens when you get best friends back together pic.twitter.com/O2KYjik3FT — Rachel Nichols (@Rachel__Nichols) October 15, 2017 When talking about if LeBron is cheap, he first tries to deny it, and then whole heartedly admits he’s not paying for anything is he doesn’t have to. The conversation goes as follows: Wade:  “He ain’t using his phone if it ain’t Wi-Fi.” James:  “No, I’m not doing that. I’m not turning on data” James:  “No, I’m not doing that. I’m not turning on data roaming. I’m not buying no apps. I still got Pandora with commercials…I’m not.” Nichols:  “You know you’re rich, right?” James:  “I’m not paying for it. I’m not paying.” Gotta love his frugal ways, even though he’s nearly a billionaire….. Pandora even jumped into the party to let LeBron know they could pull a few strings to hook him up with a free Premium subscription. Hey @KingJames how about we hook you up with a Premium account so you can ditch the commercials? — Pandora (@pandoramusic) October 16, 2017 LeBron has been accused int he past of being a terrible tipper, but once confronted his team said the inappropriate $10 gratuity for an $800 bill was a misunderstanding. Celebrities do, however, always get criticized for spending money recklessly, so we can’t be mad at James for wanting to keep his money long for a long time.

Exclusive: Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul Talks New Album & New Latin Restaurant

NEW YORK, NY – SEPTEMBER 14: DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia visits SiriusXM Studios on September 14, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) Crunk Artist Dropped “Underground Vol. 17,” Opening “Fernando’s Hideout” In 2018 Three 6 Mafia’s DJ Paul made his name in crunk music that chronicled he and his bandmates’ love of lean and questionable young ladies. But the Academy Award -winning artist has decided to indulge his other passion – cooking – with a foray into the restaurant biz. Paul said he has partnered with other celebs to open “Fernando’s Hideout” in Beverly Hills early next year. And the avid cook said don’t be surprised if you see him in the place manning the grills himself. “I gotta put some South in yo’ mouth,” Paul joked. But not before he releases his latest body of work, “Underground Vol. 17,” an album he said is a throwback to the crunk sound he and his bandmates in Three 6 Mafia made in the early 2000s. “I went back to the old school,” DJ Paul told BOSSIP. “I brought out my SB 1200 (drum machine) from the early 90s. It’s the old school sound. I brought out my floppy disk! I brought out the old school and brought it back to life.” HOLLYWOOD, CA – FEBRUARY 05: DJ Paul attends the OK! 2015 Pre GRAMMY Party at Lure on February 5, 2015 in Hollywood, California. (Photo by Justin Baker/Getty Images) The album features artists like Yelawolf, Dave East , Krazie Bone and Lil Jon, but Paul said he was very selective in who he decided to feature on the project. “I don’t go for who’s hot,” Paul explained. “I have to get in a room with a person. I have to feel them out and I have to feel like I want that person to represent me…It has to be someone I’m really feeling.” In the meantime, Paul – who helped found the crunk sound nearly 30 years ago that is considered the precursor to trap music – said he’s chilling out and watching the royalties roll in as a new generation of artists sample the group’s work, like A$AP Ferg , who used a riff from “Slob On My Knob” for his new song “Plain Jane.” “Back in the day when I was doing crunk music and we were talking about crazy s**t like snorting cocaine and drinking syrup – that’s what I knew what to talk about,” he said. “No wonder people got love for Three 6 Mafia, because we were talking about what we were doing.”

Iceland’s Government In Shambles After Prime Minister’s Father Tries To Clear Pedophile’s Name

OLIVIER MORIN/AFP/Getty Images Prime Minister’s Father Tries To Help Convicted Pedophile According to reports, Iceland’s government was in falling apart on Friday after a coalition party quit because the prime minister’s father tried to clear a pedophile’s name. The centrist Bright Future Party said in a Facebook post that there was “a serious breach of trust,” causing their withdrawal. Prime Minister Bjarni Benediktsson took office in January with his Independence Party, the Reform Party and the centrists. Benediktsson’s father, Benedikt Sveinsson, reportedly helped a convicted child molester apply for a clause in the country’s judicial system that allows those who’ve served sentences for serious crimes to “restore their honor.” The criminal in question is Hjalti Sigurjon Hauksson, who in 2004 was convicted of raping his stepdaughter almost every day for 12 years, and sentenced to five years in jail. Sveinsson made a statement claiming he didn’t know his actions would do anything beside helping a convicted felon get back on their feet. He said, “what was supposed to be a small gesture of good will towards a convicted criminal has instead turned into a continuation of the tragedy for the victim. For this I again apologize.”

Selena Gomez: Being a Famous Teen Was CREEPY!

Recently, Selena Gomez made the cover of Time magazine and talked about what the word “strength” means to her. Separately, she also shared a rare photo of herself with her boyfriend, The Weeknd . But that’s not all. Now, Selena is opening up about feeling “violated” as a teen starlet — and telling the world about what it felt like to fall in love for the first time. Selena Gomez sat down with  The Business of Fashion  this week and talked about  her experiences as a young performer . For one thing, she doesn’t know what it’s like to  not  be an entertainer. “I’ve been doing it since I was seven. To be honest, I don’t think I know anything different.” That’s amazing, right? She also talks about how her mom always looked out for her. “She was very aware, for some reason, of what could happen to me.” That’s a parent’s first job, really. A lot of young stars are prime targets for people who want to exploit their careers and overwork them. Tragically, some young stars — who might experience unusual levels of independence for their ages — are targeted by sexual predators within the entertainment industry. Selena’s mom also didn’t fall into the “Stage Mom” trap. “She always said to me that I should have fun, and if it wasn’t fun or if I wasn’t learning something or I wasn’t growing as a person, she wanted to take me out of it.” Have any of you ever had to deal with stage moms? For a summer job that I had as a teenager, I once had to deal with a mother who wanted her preschool age daughter to perform on stage because, even though it is dangerous for children that young to be up on a stage and they don’t really need the pressure of performing. We’re glad that Selena had a much better experience. Being in this business, she says, became more difficult as she got older. “I was actually more confident when I was younger than I am now. I think it changed when I started getting known for things that weren’t [related to] my work… When I was younger, it was all fun to me.” That makes sense. When she became a huge celebrity, Selena became the subject of gossip. “When I did state fairs and 100 people would show up, I would be stoked. That was the best feeling in the world. But when I got older, I started to become exposed to the truth behind some stuff and that’s when it flipped a little bit.” It sounds like there was more than public perception at play with her disappointment as she got older, though. “I realized, ‘Oh this is actually really hard, and kind of slimy in certain areas,’ and I didn’t realize that certain people wanted certain things from me. My confidence went through a lot with that.” If you think that that sounds creepy, you’re right. “I remember just feeling really violated when I was younger, even just being on the beach. I was maybe 15 or 16 and people were taking pictures — photographers. I don’t think anyone really knew who I was. But I felt very violated and I didn’t like it or understand it.” There’s a difference between going “hey, that girl’s gorgeous” and taking a bunch of creepy pictures of her while she’s minding her own business. Some of that exposure comes with being a celebrity. But at 15, Selena shouldn’t have had to deal with that. “That felt very weird, because I was a young girl and they were grown men. I didn’t like that feeling.” When she was 18, though, Selena experienced a turning point. She was still starring on Wizards of Waverly Place (which was a charming show — no iCarly , but miles ahead of Hannah Montana ), and she felt like she needed to stretch her legs. “I didn’t feel like it was about my art as much. I was on the fourth season of the show, and I felt like I was outgrowing it. I wanted something different and obviously, I fell in love for the first time.” Some people never fall in love, of course. Either they’re aromantic or they just never meet the right people or get to form the right connections. But while most people do fall in love multiple times, it’s rare for anyone’s first love to be as famous as Selena Gomez’s romance with Justin Bieber. We’re really glad that she’s moved on since those days. And so, we’re sure, is she. View Slideshow: Selena Gomez Magazine Covers: Which Look is Best?

Nicole Walters Rants About "Fancy" Bus Stop Moms, Wins Our Hearts

If you haven't yet seen this suburban mom's viral rant about “bus stop moms,” then you're missing out an on experience . As you can see in the video below, Nicole Walters is funny. She's just funny. Her viral rant isn't angry or defamatory, and countless people find it relatable. In related news, where can we get an “Oprah Wasn't Built In A Day” shirt? So, Nicole Walters went on a Facebook video rant about the “fancy” moms (her words) at her child's bust stop. Nicole is a married mother of three, and she and her family have only recently moved to the affluent suburban neighborhood. Her “rant” isn't vicious or heated as some of the “rant videos” that we've seen recently floating around the interwebs. Instead, her video reads more like stand-up comedy, but set in the environment that she describes. It's 8am, so she hasn't showered yet or dressed for the day. She sent her nanny to walk her child to the bus. (The nanny bit might not be relatable to everyone, but pretty much everything else about this should resonate with anyone familiar with suburban living) Sporting a shirt that reads: “Oprah Wasn't Built In A Day,” Nicole tells you exactly what she thinks of the other neighborhood moms. First, she's very direct and honest about her outfit. She's wearing a bonnet, she hasn't showered (she has washed her face though, which is more than most of us do before showering). She's wearing a loose-fitting, on brand tee shirt. She also looks great, honestly. She really knows how to work a camera, and we don't just mean operate one. The way that Nicole emotes throughout this video is pretty fantastic. It was, you see, her 6-year-old's first day of kindergarten. (Keep in mind that many kindergarten classes start two weeks later than fellow elementary schoolers) And Nicole just could not bring herself to go out and deal with the other moms at the bus stop. (Nicole points her camera at the “fancy” mom and at her own nanny as they return from the bus stop after seeing the children off) The bus stop moms are, you see, entirely too “fancy.” As she continues, you realize that it's not exactly the case that she's intimidated, though you'd understand it if someone did find these women intimidating. Nicole singles out one neighborhood mom in particular. “You don’t know how perfect she is. She’s so fancy. She’s so fancy. She’s skinny. She wears tennis clothes every day. Tennis clothes and a visor every day.” “Every day she wears that.” Nicole says that this unnamed woman “is just so good at life. She’s just so good at life.” Rather than being intimidated, though, it seems clear that Nicole is annoyed by their superficial conversations. She mocks the use of vocal fry in some of the other moms' voices, but mostly her teasing seems to be in good fun. We'll be honest, actually turning the camera on one of the moms, even from that distance, seemed a little invasive to us, right? The woman's not a public figure; she's just a mom seeing her kid off to school. But we have no idea who she is and, quite frankly, this funny video is a gift and we're glad to have gotten to witness it. See it for yourself:

Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna: In Danger of Losing Daughter?

If you’ve been following the Rob Kardashian-Blac Chyna separation , you know that it’s one of the uglier celebrity splits in recent memory. Even discounting the ugly episode in which R ob posted nude photos of Blac without her consent, thus leaving himself liable for criminal prosecution, the breakup has been noteworthy for the brutal fashion in which the former couple has attacked one another in the press and in court. Of course, Rob and Chyna were never married, but they do have a child together, which makes for a seriously messy legal situation. At first, it was rumored that Chyna was seeking to deny Rob custody of their 10-month-old daughter, Dream. Thanks to intervention from Rob’s influential mom, Kris Jenner, Blac is reportedly open to talks about shared custody. It may be a case of too little, too late, however, as TMZ is reporting that Rob and Blac are currently both on the verge of losing custody of Dream. According to the site, the L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services has asked a judge to look at their findings regarding Dream’s well-being in order to determine if further action is needed. The development could be the result of Rob and Blac constantly firing legal shots at one another. Blac filed for a restraining order against Rob in the wake of his savage social media attacks. In turn, Rob has alleged that Blac used hard drugs in the presence of their child. It’s not hard to see how Rob and Chyna’s conflicting claims might leave the court with serious concerns as to whether or not either party is up to the task of providing Dream with a stable household. Blac’s attorney, Lisa Bloom, refutes TMZ’s claims of a DCFS investigation, telling Radar Online: “Chyna is a loving, devoted mother who simply wants to peacefully co-parent her healthy, happy baby Dream with Rob.”  “We are unaware of any current investigation suggesting otherwise. We have not received notice of any DCFS filing, nor have we been able to find any in the court files.” Bloom adds that as far as she knows, Blac’s next day in court will be to prove the necessity of Blac’s restraining order: “The hearing on our restraining order remains on calendar for September 18,” she said. “We look forward to proving our case at that time.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Teyana Taylor Slays (And Grinds) At Philipp Plein’s NYFW Show: ”I’m Not Extra, I’m Spicy’

Mel B: I Can PROVE Stephen Belafonte Made Blackmail Tapes! His Mistress is Backing Me Up!

Mel B’s divorce from Stephen Belafonte is one of the messiest and saddest stories of the year, and that’s saying a lot. It’s not sad that they’re divorcing — what’s sad is the horrifying accusations that have come out since their split. Mel B has a long court battle ahead of her. But it looks like the Spice Girl and TV personality is striking back, and she’s armed with evidence that supports her claims — including depositions. Do you guys remember back in December of 2014? Honestly, 2017 feels like it’s lasted at least 1,000 years and we’re barely into September (and with two “500 year storms” already, that’s no surprise), so we’ll understand if you’re drawing a blank. Fans notices bruises on Mel B during an airing of X Factor — on which the Spice Girl was a judge. Mel B responded to speculation by declaring that her husband, Stephen Belafonte would never hurt her . Unfortunately, as we are all aware by now, someone denying that they’re a victim of domestic violence … doesn’t mean anything. Victims will generally say anything to protect their abusers. Until they reach a breaking point, that is. This year, Mel B has split from husband Stephen Belafonte and was granted an order of protection after accusing Belafonte of punching and choking her. That is horrifying to hear. There have also been more salacious stories about their marriage, including claims that Mel B and Belafonte’s nanny was Belafonte’s lover. Allegedly, Stephen Belafonte wanted to control Mel B’s money but also retain a young lover. Belafonte had also allegedly blackmailed Mel B with recordings of their sex life. Mel B’s nanny, Lorraine Gilles, sued for defamation , claiming that she had been Mel B’s consensual lover and that she had never had one-on-one sex with Stephen Belafonte. Based upon new papers that Mel B’s team has filed, it sounds like Gilles is walking back some of those claims. TMZ got a hold of some court documents that allege that Stephen Belafonte arranged a phony marriage for Lorraine Gilles , one that allowed him to keep Lorraine nearby. And that he used Mel B’s money to do it. The documents include portions of Lorraine Gilles’ deposition, in which she admits to having sex alone with Stephen Belafonte — ten to fifteen times. Considering how many years she was in their lives, that sounds like a really low number, but it’s progress from her claim that she only had sex with him during threesomes. Gilles also admits to having had sex with Belafonte around the time that she got an abortion, but claims that it wasn’t his. (We’d ask how she, or anyone, could know for sure, as we can’t imagine that any genetic testing was involved — but hey, we’re no experts) Now, Lorraine Gilles married Michael Bleu — which Mel B alleges was a sham. Her team included a deposition from Bleu himself, in which he admits to having purchased the engagement ring for $30 on eBay. Ah, romance . Gilles also admits that the sex tapes — the ones that Mel B says Belafonte used to blackmail her — definitely exist and that she watched them as recently as July of 2016. (There is a very real fear that Belafonte might release the sex tapes, in part or in whole, during these upcoming court battles) As for Michael Bleu’s incentive for the fake marriage? Apparently Belafonte got Mel B to invest $60,000 in Michael Bleu’s business. At the time, Mel B had no idea that Michael Bleu had been arrested for a sex crime (yikes!) and convicted for false imprisonment. Mel B hopes to keep Belafonte’s domestic violence trial closed to the public, for her sake and for the sake of her children. Belafonte wants it to be public — a powerful intimidation tactic against his accuser. We hope that this whole ordeal comes to an end soon.
