Dancing With the Stars Recap: Does Sean Spicer Not Suck?!?

Disneyland is known as The Happiest Place on Earth. And yet, following a Dancing With the Stars episode that took place at this resort and during which the contestant performed Disney-themed routines,  not everyone walked away with a smile on his or her face. Starting with Carrie Ann Inaba. The veteran judge went viral on Monday night shortly after she gave her critique of Kate Flannery’s jazz routine to “A Spoonful of Sugar” from Mary Poppins with her partner, Pasha Pashkov. When Tom Bergeron pointed out that one of the dancing duo’s broom props was near the judge’s table, Inaba bent over to get a closer look at the item. And then? TIMBER! As Inaba went to sit, her chair moved backward and she fell down, prompting Flannery and Pashkov to rush to her side. Thankfully, Inaba was just fine and the show continued. Who exceled and who nearly embarrassed themselves as much as Inaba? Scroll down to find out… Sailor Brinkley-Cook & Val Chmerkovskiy : The Viennese Waltz was Sailor’s best dance yet, as she did Cinderella proud with a total score of 24. Karamo Brown & Jenna Johson : Brown still has some technique issues to work through, but the African elements added to his Samba helped it stand out and gained a 21. Kate Flannery & Pasha Pashkov : This jazz routine went up a notch when the actress shifted into the quickstep portion. She remains a front-runner after notching a 24. Sean Spicer & Lindsay Arnold : This Quickstep wasn’t all that quick, but Spicer loosened up just a tiny bit, thanks to his partner yelling at him throughout. They earned a 19. Ally Brooke & Sasha Farber : Bravo all around! The partners were totally in sync for their Contemporary routine, prompting the judges to hand out their first 9’s of the season — each! 27 points! Lauren Alaina & Gleb Savchenko : The country singer never seemed totally comfortable with her Samba, most notably lacking enthusiasm when it came to her hip action. Lack of sensuality led to a score of 23. Kel Mitchell & Witney Carson : What an entertaining Jazz routine! Kel came out with tons of swagger and his smile was contagious. Dude also breakdanced at one point. 26 points! Hannah Brown & Alan Bersten : This was an elegant Foxtroy. The Bachelorette was practically floating through the air as she gracefully  earned 25 points. James Van Der Beek & Emma Slater : They closed the night with a strong Paso Doble, as the actor embodied his character with confidence and showmanship, garnering 26 points. Talk about a competitive season, huh? No duds, not definitive favorites — and no one eliminated on Monday. Who will be the next to go when the time comes? You tell us!

Jeremy Renner Abused Cocaine, Threatened to Kill Ex-Wife: Report

Jeremy Renner has often been in the news of late due to his hobby of flipping houses. But new details regarding the alleged ways he used to flip out on his ex-wife were made public on Monday morning… … and they offer a very frightening look at the actor’s life and his failed marriage to Sonni Pacheco. According to legal documents filed by Sonni , as part of her custody battle with Renner over six-year old daughter Ava, Pacheco cites a disturbing incident from just this past November. She says that the veteran actor was at a club at the time, totally high on coke and drunk on alcohol, when he starting talking about murdering Sonni, telling someone he “could not deal with her anymore, and he just wanted her gone.” Pacheco also points to a separate incident in which Renner stuck a gun in his mouth… threatened to kill Sonni… and then fired a bullet into the ceiling, all while Ava was asleep in her bedroom. It’s unclear exactly when this alleged incident took place. Wait, however, there’s more to be extemely concerned over. Pacheco claims that The Avengers star has a history of substance abuse, verbal and emotional abuse. In these legal papers, Sonni says Jeremy repeatedly has been under the influence when spending time with Ava — and that he once left cocaine on a bathroom counter, making it easily reachable by the toddler. In one instance, Sonni alleges that a nanny overheard Renner state he was going to Sonni’s home to kill her and then kill himself, because “it was better that Ava had no parents than to have [Sonni] as a mother.” Seriously scary stuff. Renner and Pacheco got married 2014… and Pacheco filed for divorce later that year, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the basis for the break-up. Pacheco has filed a request for sole legal and physical custody of Ava with the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. She is also asking for monitored visitation when Renner is with their daughter. A court hearing has been scheduled for November 7, with the exes having been ordered to attend child custody mediation in the meantime. In response to this horrific allegations, an attorney for Renner has released the following  statement: “The well-being of his daughter Ava has always been and continues to be the primary focus for Jeremy. “This is a matter for the court to decide. It’s important to note the dramatizations made in Sonni’s declaration are a one-sided account made with a specific goal in mind.” We’ll update this story with more news as it breaks.

Amy Duggar Returns Home With Baby Boy Amid Family Feud Rumors

Last week, Amy Duggar welcomed her first child — a bouncing baby boy named Daxton. Obviously, there’s no way to gauge this sort of thing, but the arrival of little Dax seemed to elicit more excitement than the usual Duggar birth. Perhaps it was the fact that at 32, Amy is considerably older than most new moms in her family. Maybe it’s a testament to Amy’s popularity with fans, many of whom admire her stubborn individualism in the face of intense pressure to conform to her uncle’s ultra-conservative views. Whatever the case, the denizens of Duggar Nation are psyched about baby Dax. And Amy is more than happy to oblige them with regular updates about her brand new bundle of joy: Over the weekend, Amy posted a photo of Dax’s long-awaited homecoming. (As many fans commenters pointed out, it appears that Amy spent 4-5 days in the hospital, which means either there were some mild complications, or she has really great health insurance.) Naturally, she documented the occasion for her 400,000 Instagram followers. “Headed home!!! King: Party of 3!” Amy captioned the pic. “Our son has his own IG account! We wanted to grab it before it wasn’t available for when he’s older!” she added. Yes, Dax has his own Instagram page already. We’d make fun, but like gender reveal parties, infant IGs are probably a trend that’s already becoming the norm, if it hasn’t already. “Can you believe I was sideways in mommy’s stomach and now I’m here!?! Let’s go home! In time to see my first Razorback game!” Amy (we assume) captioned the first photo from Dax’s page (below). Daddy Dillon King posted the same pic, with a caption reading: “[Daxton] and I are ready for the @razorbackfb game tonight! [Amy] we just have to get him into his #arkansasrazorbacks gear!”  As with all things Duggar, the whole thing seems wholesome enough, but there are rumors of something seriously unpleasant lurking just beneath the surface. As we reported last week, Jill Duggar is the only member of her family to visit Amy thus far. The other Duggars have a pretty good excuse for not dropping by, as they’ve been visiting Jinger in Los Angeles . Still, their absence has raised a lot of questions about the new mom’s standing with the rest of her family. Conflicts between Amy and Jim Bob Duggar have made tabloid headlines several times over the years. Now, many believe that the rumors of a reconciliation were bogus, and JB still does not approve of his niece’s lifestyle. In recent months, there have been reports that Jill is not on good terms with the rest of their family. The situation has led to a fan theory that she’s joined forces with her outcast cousin in a sort of rebel alliance. That’s probably not true, but we really love the idea that two women of the younger generation are going head-to-head with the all-powerful Jim Bob. View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting?

Amy Roloff Confirms Yet Another Major Life Change

Amy Roloff has seen her life flipped around and turned upside down over the past several weeks. And now — based on an Instagram update from the Little People, Big World star — it doesn’t look like things are about to calm down any time soon. First, a Amy Roloff recent refresher, bringing followers up to date on what’s been going on with the reality star: Just about a month ago, the mother four announced that boyfriend Chris Marek had proposed after three years of dating and that the two were finally engaged . He did so during a romantic dinner, prompting Amy to tell People Magazine a day later: “I’m excited, I’m so surprised, I’m thrilled! “I never in a million years thought I’d be getting married again, but I also hoped for it! Now that it’s happening, I couldn’t be happier or more excited.” Sadly, about 10 days later, Amy’s mother passed away after a lengthy illness . In her first comments after the tragedy, Amy acknoweldged the “roller coaster” of “happy and sad” emotions that has comprised her universe of late. Truly, we can only imagine. Fast forward about three weeks and Amy was posting pictures from her family’s Oregon farm in celebration of pumpkin season. This is when she alerted fans to the next significant life change about to take place. “Wow! How can Roloff Farms Pumpkin season be here already? And 20 plus years? It’s been a blast and full of wonderful times and memories,” she wrote as a caption to a photo of her and Chris, adding: “And more memories to make. What a family legacy I’ve love sharing w/ you. The Fall season is here, and there is So Much to love about Fall. My favorite season.” Roloff went on to write about the farm in the past tense, mentioning how many people she has “met,” and how much it has “impacted” her life, as it “gave me the gift of raising my kids here for through out their growing up years.” Wait a minute , some fans, asked: Is Amy still living on the farm? “Yes but not for long [we’ll] see what Matt and I can decide on about the farmhouse,” Roloff replied to this question. A few months ago, following some contentious back and forth that aired on TV, Amy agreed to sell Matt her portion of Roloff Farms . She still has some say over how the property is run, but she confirmed in this post six days ago that she’ll soon be moving away. “I finally found one I can make my home for a while. Woohoo!” Amy told followers last week, not offering up many other details about her new residence. We’re not even sure if she’s buying or renting, just that she’ll be living at a different address for the first time in decades. “I have chosen to buy (and Amy has chosen to sell) me only one side of the farm at this time,” Matt explained back in June. “Not the original farmstead… not the side with the pumpkin patch or her house… for now she is only selling me her partial share of ownership in the side (DW) that I live on… “She will remain in her house (and on the farm) and 1/2 owner of our original farm until she decides to leave … At that time we will jointly work to sell the side she lives on together. “This may happen in the future, but it’s not happening yet.” UPDATE: It appears as if this may soon be happening. We’ll keep readers apprised when we learn more about the situation. View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed! [Updated]

Cops Kill People: Georgia Cop Found Not Guilty Of Murder Of Unarmed Anthony Hill, Faces 35 Years On Other Charges

Source: Towfiqu Photography / Getty Georgia Cop Found Not Guilty Of Murdering Anthony Hill Previously, we reported that naked and unarmed Anthony Hill , an Afghanistan war veteran, was killed by an Atlanta-area Dekalb County Robert “Chip” Olsen back in 2016. Today, according to CNN , Olsen will walk away scot-free from murder charges related to Hill’s death. Although the jury found Olsen not guilty of murder, they did find him guilty of aggravated assault, making a false statement, and two counts of violation of oath. For that, he faces 35 years in prison. Hill had a documented history of mental illness but did not have a weapon of any sort when he allegedly charged at the former police officer while completely naked. We hope Olsen is sentenced to every hour of that 35 years, but after seeing how Amber Guyger ‘s case went, we don’t have very much confidence…

Jinger Duggar: Did She Tone Down Her "Rebellious" Look For Her Parents’ Visit?

Of all the Duggar children, no one has blazed their own trail quite like Jinger. Jinger first earned the “rebel” label when she began wearing pants, a violation of the strict Duggar dress code , which requires women to wear long skirts at all times. (Jinger committed her first act of sartorial defiance only after she was married and only with her husband’s permission, but hey — given her parents’ famously low tolerance for non-conformity, that pair of Levi’s must have felt as dangerous as any mohawk.) Since then, Jinger has broken with the Duggar belief system in a number of subtle, but significant ways. For starters, she married a man her father openly disapproved of. After her wedding, Jinger waited more than a year to get pregnant — a customary practice in most parts of the world, but the stuff of scandal in a community in which girls are taught from a young age that procreation is their primary reason for being. Most recently, Jinger moved to Los Angeles with her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, and her daughter, Felicity. Even though the family relocated so that Jeremy could attend a divinity school in the area, Jinger’s parents reportedly disapproved. In fact, the move prompted rumors that Jinger had been disowned by her parents . Last week, however, something remarkable happened. With no advanced notice, Jim Bob and Michelle — along with 16 of their children — made the trip out west and visited Jinger in LA for the first time. Some flew, some drove RVs, and Jinger was reportedly overjoyed to see her parents and all but two of her siblings. (Jill and Joy-Anna were unable to make the trip for reasons that remain unclear.) Obviously, Jinger did not have to do any traveling, and she wasn’t able to accommodate dozens of guests in her home. (It’s unclear how many Duggar children and in-laws made the journey.) But that doesn’t mean nothing was required of her. According to a new report from Radar Online, Jinger made a major concession to her parents’ belief system and re-adopted the Duggar dress code during their visit. “Just last week Jinger was wearing ripped jeans, and before that, short shorts,” an insider tells the site. “The moment her parents come to town she goes back to wearing dresses,” Yes, we suppose it’s easy to be a rebel when your parents are 1,500 miles away, but a bit more difficult when they’re staying at the Marriott down the street. It’s unclear if Jim Bob and Michelle requested this favor of Jinger, or if she simply chose to surprise them with her return to “modest attire.” Some folks are taking this as a sign that Jinger really was disowned by her parents and is currently working hard to get back into their good graces. That’s a bit of a stretch. But whatever the case, it seems Jinger is still very much concerned with remaining on Jim Bob’s good side.
