Source: Getty As you get older, you realize how valuable time is—chances are you’ll miss some of the moments in time you complained about most, but you can never get them back. By the time you’re wiser and more appreciative, it’ll be too late and all you’ll be able to do at that point is think back and say to yourself “Remember when…” With that said, we weren’t surprised when the hashtag #OldThingsIWantBack got super intense on Twitter: My innocence #OldThingsIWantBack — Sarah Fama (@poshpetcarenj) April 19, 2018 That’s real. Hit the flip to see what else people miss dearly. Our guess is you can relate too.
After getting her heart shattered into a gajillion pieces on national television, Becca Kufrin wants the world to know that she’s back. With vengeance. The scorned winner of The Bachelor Season 22, Kufrin was dumped by Arie Luyendyk Jr. mere weeks after he proposed to her on the show’s emotional finale. It was a stunning and horrific development for the franchise, but fans at least had their concerns over Becca eased a little bit upon learning that she had been chosen as the next Bachelorette. Her journey to happiness (we really hope!) gets underway on May 28at 8/7c, with host Chris Harrison teasing Kufrin’s season on Twitter this week via her very first promotional photo. It features Becca in a beautiful gold gown, a red rose in hand… and a straightforward tagline plastered across the front. Let’s Do The Damn Thing . It’s pretty clear Kufrin is not messing around, isn’t it? This is a woman ready to find love on her terms for once, and she doesn’t plan on letting anyone stand in her way. The slogan seems to has become somewhat of a mantra for Kufrin, who actually used it when she was announced as the show’s lead back in March. “Words can’t express everything I’m feeling tonight, but I’m so beyond grateful for the love, support and well-wishes,” Kufrin wrote on Instagram alongside a slideshow of images from After the Final Rose. She then added: “I’m beyond excited for this next chapter of my journey and to have shared the start of that all with you tonight. “Now we’re doing the damn thing.” Yes you are, Becca. Kufrin handled her very public embarrassment about as well as anyone could possibly expect. She really only called out Arie one time, shortly after he tried to claim that he dumped her in front of ABC cameras specifically because he wanted to turn her into a sympathetic figure and, therefore, prompt the network to make her The Bachelorette. That was a crock of nonsense. “I don’t think he ever expected me to be [the Bachelorette], or how everything played out,” Becca said in response to this assertion. And that was basically it. Becca has had a chance to slam the living heck out of Arie and has constantly chosen to mostly take the high road. She isn’t looking for attention in this manner, a source recently told Entertainment Tonight. She’s really just looking for a loving husband. “She’s not one of those people who went on the show for Instagram followers,” the insider told this outlet, adding of the 28-year old Minnesota native: “She’s got a killer job, she’s a good person and she really wants to find somebody.” We sincerely hope she does. Based on a recent set of The Bachelorette spoilers , we have a clearer idea of who this somebody could be. And we also know he will come from the following pool of suitors.

Jenelle Evans … just … bless her heart. She can be completely awful, of course, and she does awful things all the time, but sometimes those things are less about her character and more about her intellect. Which is to say that sometimes she does horrible things not because she's being malicious, but because she's just kind of dumb, honestly. Take, for instance, her tweets from earlier this week about her husband, David Eason, and how he can't be racist because he's black. And before you ask, yes, she actually said that … 1. Honey, No This whole mess began when we learned that MTV was doing us a solid and airing footage from last year’s infamous balloon incident — the thing where David popped a bunch of balloons with a knife at a New Year’s Eve special they filmed. 2. Who Cares? Jenelle tried to play it off, like she doesn’t have any problem with the world seeing how unhinged her husband is. Which, come to think of it, is probably true. 3. Real Subtle This barely even makes sense, because obviously she isn’t “doing fantastic” — her husband got fired and her future with Teen Mom 2 still isn’t secure. Though we do believe that MTV is upset with her and is no longer interested in trying to give her a good edit, which is why they’re finally airing the baloon thing in the first place. 4. Sure, Jenelle Because everyone knows that when you’re happy and content and loving life, you tell the internet about it every single chance you get. That’s obviously how that works. 5. What Next — and this is just too great — someone asked her how her “racist and homophobic husband” was doing. Jenelle’s answer? 6. LMAO “My husband is black, but yeah ok sure. Lmao.” View Slideshow
Filming for the upcoming season is still underway, but The Bachelorette spoilers have already begun to reveal details of Becca Kufrin’s journey. With another month to go until the season premiere, the beautiful brunette has narrowed her list of suitors to six. And we know which ones! Thanks to a little luck, and mostly Reality Steve – who else – we are all over The Bachelorette spoilers almost as they happen these days. The man is a god, we’re telling you. According to Steve’s Twitter , Becca’s final six men are in the Bahamas, where the final dates before her hometown visits take place. Obviously, he’s been wrong before, and you never really know the full story until the show airs, but this is likely accurate. Very accurate. Without further ado, let’s get to it: Kufrin’s top six bachelors are: Blake Horstmann, Colton Underwood, Garrett Yrigoyen, Jason Tartick, Leo Dottavio, and Wills. Guess Steve doesn’t have his last name yet. Hey, 11/12 names isn’t bad. Indeed, the Bachelorette and Bachelor spoilers guru hasn’t released much about Wills, so his life story may just be harder to hunt down. In any case, the rose ceremony – if everything follows the franchise’s typical order of things – should send two of the six packing. Meanwhile, Becca will pack up her things and travel to the hometowns of the final four men, followed by three fantasy overnight dates. There, Chris Harrison will invite Becca to the Fantasy Suite … with each of the three lucky gents. If she, and they, desire this, of course. Then it will be time for the final two to meet Becca’s family, and for her to choose one at the final rose ceremony in an exotic location. Two weeks later, Kufrin will proceed to break up with the winner, dump him with cameras rolling, then secretly get back with the runner-up. Just kidding. Too soon. In truth, Becca’s odds of finding lasting love may not be great, despite what we’d like to believe. The show’s track record is just bad. On the flip side, The Bachelorette has produced more success stories than The Bachelor in recent years … and the bar is very low. After winning Arie Luyendyk Jr.’s final rose and engagement ring, only to be stripped of both and humiliated on live TV, you can only go up. Also in Becca’s favor? She’s Becca. Beautiful, confident, authentic, sweet and smart, she may be the single most popular lead in the history of the franchise. That can’t hurt. View Slideshow: 33 Hottest Women of The Bachelor: Who’s #1? Stay tuned for more Bachelor spoilers as the season draws closer and more intel is revealed … it should be one crazy ride as always.
Source: Bob D’Amico / Getty There are only two episodes of Scandal left. EEEEEEK! All the creative minds over at Shondaland are working overtime to work our nerves! We start with Mellie facing her interrogation about whether she ordered Cyrus Beene’s “assassination” and Olivia is right by her side. Olivia tells her that the best thing she can do is tell the truth because it’s her armor. You remember that revelation she made during her time working with Annalise Keating, right? Now we’re at Mellie’s deposition and Olivia is by her side and then they get hit with the bombshell. They have footage of Mellie and Olivia discussing how to “handle” President Rashad. Basically, the story is that Cyrus “found out” about Rashad’s assassination, disapproved, and Mellie’s solution was to kill Cyrus too. Mencken demands to know what Mellie has to say about that and she pleads the 5th. Then Olivia Pope gets hit with a subpoena. via GIPHY Now Olivia, Marcus, Mellie, Rosen, and Fitz are trying to figure out what to do. Olivia points out that they are definitely backed into a corner and there’s no real solution at the moment. Meanwhile, Mencken is doing the devil’s work, but there seems to be an oz of sense left. He makes it clear to Cyrus that he doesn’t trust Jake. Olivia comes home to find Jake in her living room. He hands her a vile of sand. It’s a “piece of their sun” from when they were frolicking on the beach in Tanzania, all happy and in love. Olivia denies his gift, but let’s cut to the chase. Jake wants Olivia to say that she killed Rashad at Mellie’s request. If she does so then she gets pardoned. Olivia tries to convince him not to do this and he tells her what we’ve long known, “If you starve a dog long enough, it will tear you to pieces.” No lies were detected. via GIPHY The gladiators plus Fitz, Mellie, and Rosen meet again, and it’s clear that they don’t know what to do for the first time ever. They can’t use Cyrus shady past against him because his crimes— including rigging Fitz’s election—would still blowback on all of them, especially Mallie. Now we’re at Olivia’s hearing and Mencken cuts to the chase. He asks her if she assassinated Rashad for Mellie and Olivia goes ovaries to the wall. She admits that she killed Rashad, but not at Mellie’s order. It was all about B613, which is run by Jake Ballard. Do you realize what just happened? Olivia blew the whistle on B613. She spills all the tea about the deep state intelligence agency that controls the White House. Everyone in the interrogation room and Jake, who was spying from B613’s hideout, as usual, was shocked. They looked like: via GIPHY Even the people on Olivia’s side want the know wtf! Olivia feels like it’s the only way they can win, but just when she gets a one up, Jake gets the best of her. He made sure to wipe all the evidence clean so that Mencken’s investigators turn up nothing.Jake then tells Mencken that he needs to make Olivia Pope’s testimony disappear and that the gut feeling he has in his stomach that something isn’t right is right, but he should just walk away if he knows what’s good for him. Mencken decides to do as he is told and buries Olivia’s testimony, which means the gladiators are back at square one. Mellie is freaking out because this still falls back on her. Olivia is convinced that Mellie has to tell the truth. They all do. Olivia sums it up well when she says that they are the villains of this story. They’ve all done something shady and the lid is about to come off. When it blows, Olivia can’t protect their legacies so it’s time for them to stand before the world, admit their sins and hope that the next generation of leaders decides to be better than they were. Everyone, including the gladiators, thinks Liv is nuts for this and make another move. They want to convince Mencken to do the right thing. Quinn visits Sally Langston to tell her about B613, but Sally Langston won’t bite without proof (there is no proof because B613 is obviously that good). Obviously, Sally’s curiosity is going to get the best of her because that’s who she is. Meanwhile, Papa Pope is playing with bones, doing his paleontologist thing and Jake strolls in to apologize for dragging Olivia into this. Rowan then reads Jake for filth. He tells him that if he were really at the top then he wouldn’t be there seeking validation from Papa Bear. Rowan then says that he is the definition of power and that Jake and Olivia were foolish to think they could take command. Jake pulls out a gun and points it at him but doesn’t shoot because Rowan is right. He still owns him. Rowan tells Jake that he will be there for him when he falls and Jake storms out. Finally, Abby, Quinn and Huck are confident that Olivia is the old Liv again because she’s willing to go down to make things right. That’s when they decide that they will be witnesses to testify about the existence of B613. Olivia doesn’t want them to do this because she wants to protect them from the consequences, but they declare that they want to be by her side as she drives over that cliff. Next Olivia tells Mellie that she’ll lie and say that Mellie had no knowledge of B613 if that’s what she wants, but Mellie is down to ride with her too. #TeamMellivia for the win! Sally Langston for the win too! She took the bait like we knew she would! via GIPHY The episode concludes with Miss Langston giving one of her epic commentaries about the courage of some brave individuals who have provided proof that the country has been run by a spy organization for the last 34 years. She makes it clear that “these are the traitors who have tried to take down Air Force 1 and drag down Mellie Grant.” She also drops Mencken’s name as a co-conspirator as she encourages her batshit viewers to take back their country. Jake and Cyrus look at each other like: via GIPHY There’s only one episode left. See you next week.

On Thursday, April 12, Khloe Kardashian gave birth to her baby girl . It’s wonderful news in some … complicated circumstances. Baby sister Kylie had her hands full with her own baby, so she couldn’t witness the birth in person. But that hasn’t stopped her from giving her big sis a shout-out, despite the chaos. Although initially it looked like Kylie Jenner would just keep posting but pics despite Khloe’s cheating drama and news that she’d gone into labor, it’s clear that Kylie loves Khloe. (Of course she does — even at the time, we pointed out that the two of them have always been especially close, despite their age difference) Kylie obviously couldn’t fly out to see Khloe because she’s a first time mother with a two-month-old baby of her own. But that does not mean that she doesn’t care. Kylie has now taken to social media to congratulate Khloe. Sorry, make that Kongratulate Khloe. It’s worth noting that this is just the public message. Do you ever forget to post “happy birthday!” to a significant other or a close friend on social media because you’ve been too busy celebrating their birthday with them, in real life? It’s important to remember that celebrities can do the same thing. The social media shout-out is often an afterthought for people who are truly close with each other. So when you see a celebrity like Kylie posting selfies instead of talking about her sister’s life event, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s heartless. She just … didn’t think to post publicly yet. Poor Khloe. (Yes, unlike Wendy Williams , we do feel sorry for her) Having her first child, at last, is wonderful news. But there’s a cloud over this happy occasion, and it’s in the shape of a tall, handsome man whose penis has an adventurous spirit. Just two days before this sweet little girl was born, Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe . Multiple photos and videos surfaced, from different months, showing different women. All during Khloe’s pregnancy. Remember when Kylie’s pregnancy and circumstances was the scandalous situation? Kylie was only 19 when she got pregnant, and she’d been dating Travis Scott for maybe a month. But since the birth of precious little Stormi Webster, we’ve learned that Travis was there for every appointment, every ultrasound. And he and Kylie take Stormi on walks in her stroller together and seem to be living as a family, despite his career. In the mean time, Khloe and Tristan seemed like a solid, age-appropriate couple. Only now, Khloe’s reportedly moving back to California and it’s not even clear if Travis will be part of her life. There have been reports that Khloe totally forgives Tristan for cheating , but nothing close to confirmation. Three different news sources came up with three different videos. Tristan seeming to make out with a woman in a bar. Tristan fooling around with two women in a hookah lounge. Tristan taking a woman back to his room. That’s a lot of evidence, and there might not be enough denial in the world for Khloe to overlook that. Considering that one woman has come forward and claimed that Tristan impregnated her , these videos may just be the tip of the cheating iceberg. Khloe deserves better, and we hope that she finds the peace and happiness that she had believed was hers already. Like Kylie, we congratulate her on the birth of her daughter.
