Dylan Minnette and Katherine Langford, the young stars of Netflix’s unflinching new drama, ‘13 Reasons Why,’ tell MTV News what the series gets right about the pangs of adolescence
You’ll need to sit down for this one, you guys! The Bachelor: Australia is even more controversial than its U.S. counterpart. Georgia Tripos — a contestant on the most recent season — has apparently spearheaded a drug ring and has been selling cocaine and amphetamine on Craigslist . According to 9 News, a contestant on the reality series found herself arrested last week for running a drug ring with her friend, Kristiana Karakostas. That’s nowhere near as scary as anything we’ve ever heard about a contestant on any of our tame-in-comparison editions of the franchise. It’s downright crazy. Her cover job on the series was that she worked a real estate agent, but it just so happens that her partner crime also works there. Are estate agents not paid well in Australia these days? The part about Craigslist is particularly hilarious when you consider the fact that selling drugs is, like, not allowed. Maybe she was looking to gain recognition for her little side venture and thought appearing on The Bachelor would drum up some interest for her business. Tripos has allegedly been granted bail and is allowed to live with her mother and stepfather in Melbourne and has been summoned to appear in court on July 7. We’re sure she’ll make a tidy sum of money if she opts to sell some stories to magazines about her part in the ring. The police have to confirm the story, but they did release a statement with some tidbits of information. They confirmed that two women were found “with a large quantity of drugs” in Melbourne last Wednesday. Tripos was a memorable contestant during her stint on the series and lashed out at producers when she was given the boot from the show.

She subsequently branded them “skanks.” Classy. To The Bachelor U.S. producers: If you want to sign Tripos up for Bachelor in Paradise , we’re sure you’ll find her details on Craigslist.

For those of us watching television Stateside, Chewing Gum probably became one of your favorite shows this year after making its debut on Netflix in late October. But the series actually premiered in 2015 on the British TV channel E4. In case you missed the greatness of this six-episode series, it’s focused on Tracey Gordon. She is the virginal daughter of a religious mother who is trying to see more of the world — and have some sex.Tracey, played by Michaela Coel, who both created and writes the series, ended up winning two BAFTA Awards earlier this year for her work. She took home Best Female Comedy Performance and Breakthrough Talent for writing the comedy. With that much success not only across the pond but a bubbling influence here in the United States, you knew a second season had to be on the way.

The women’s specific issue though is that the St. Ives product says it’s “dermatologist tested.” While it may be, it’s misleading to put that information on the product considering that the ingredients in their products are not recommended by dermatologists. [ madamenoire ] #CallYoPresident: Black Motorist Leaves Trump Supporter Stranded In Snow Troy Brown might have gotten some lumps of coal in his stocking this past Christmas, this after he left a Donald Trump supporter stranded in their car in the middle of an Ohio snowstorm. Brown posted a video of him passing the motorist by to his Facebook page, which has since gone viral and drew out the racists of course. Brown posted the video two weeks ago when Ohio was slammed by a heavy snowstorm. Using the clever hashtag “#CallYoPresident,” he then posted the video of him explaining the situation with a photo of the stranded vehicle. Naturally, Trump types and your garden variety racist trolls found the public post and began hurling racial slurs and threats common for those hiding behind keyboards. “Wow, pretty low move, and to brag? Lol. I’m sorry your morals are so misguided,” said one person. Another just went straight for the jugular and called Brown a “black piece of sh*t.” Other gems included, “And that’s what’s wrong with people nowadays I was raised to help everyone in need no matter what but what do I know I’m just a gun owning patriotic American and you sir are a piece of sh*t.” Brown got plenty of support from the other side and amped up his stances by placing a comment that read, ” A list of people Trump voters can call for help: 1. Yo president 2. Exxon Mobil CEO 3. General Flynn’s son 4. The gunman at Comet pizza in D.C.” [ hiphopwired ] Carrie Fisher’s Autopsy on Hold [ tmz ] Rihanna Steps Out in Floral Bliss While In Barbados [ hellobeautiful ] Pink Welcomes Son, Jameson Moon, With Husband Carey Hart [ huffingtonpost ] Teen Runaway Saved From Prostitution — by Uber Driver [ iheartradio ] Former NFL Safety Keion Carpenter Dies [ balleralert ]
Adios!!! Generation KKK Docuseries Canceled Amid controversy and the threat of boycotts, A&E has canceled its KKK docuseries. As previously reported Generation KKK was to air in January and document about KKK members trying to “rebrand” the Klan’s racist image. Now however the network is pulling back after discovering that producers PAID families to participate. SMH… A statement from A&E reads: The documentary ‘Escaping the KKK’ was intended to serve as a close look at anti-hate extractors focused on helping people leave the Ku Klux Klan—the racist hate group with a long history of violence against African Americans and others. Our goal with this series has always been to expose and combat racism and hatred in all its forms. However, A&E learned last night from the third-party producers who made the documentary that cash payments — which we currently understand to be nominal — were made in the field to some participants in order to facilitate access. While we stand behind the intent of the series and the seriousness of the content, these payments are a direct violation of A&E’s policies and practices for a documentary. We had previously provided assurances to the public and to our core partners – including the Anti-Defamation League and Color of Change – that no payment was made to hate group members, and we believed that to be the case at the time. We have now decided not to move forward with airing this project. A&E takes the authenticity of its documentary programming and the subject of racism, hatred and violence very seriously. Just because this particular show goes away, the issues of hate in America do not. We will still seek to fight hate in America through on-air programming including town halls and documentary programs produced in partnership with civil rights organizations, as well as continue to work with the civil rights community to facilitate a deeper dialogue on ending hate through comprehensive educational and outreach campaigns.” BYE RACIST KLAN BEYOTCHES!!!!
