Bachelor in Paradise Recap: Look Who’s Back!

Derek Peth didn’t simply leave Bachelor in Paradise Monday night . He also left his fellow Bachelor in Paradise contestants questioning their feelings, themselves and their place on the show in general. In particular, we write here about Tayshia Adams and Blake Horstmann and their reaction yesterday evening to Derek’s stunning departure.  Tayshia, for instance, wasn’t certain how she felt about John Paul Jones in the wake of the Derek decision, while Blake had started to realizie his chances of finding love in Mexico were slim to, quite possibly, none. Yes, Adams admitted, she had a “soft spot” for Jones — but what did that really mean in the bigger picture? As for Horstmann? He had an epiphany on Tuesday’s episode and actually convinced himself that Kristina Schulman was the woman he had been searching for all along. “We always gravitate toward each other,” he told viewers on air. “Maybe we owe each other this, to give it a shot.” Suddenly inspirde, Blake grabbed Kristina for a chat and told her he was “all in” and totally sure of it… at the moment. “I thought I just wanted to be friends with you, I did,” he said. “And here I am, saying that I can’t stop thinking about you. It’s driving me f—ing crazy and it’s terrifying.” Could Kristina actually trust the guy responsible for so much drama this season ? She actually decided yes , she was willing to do so… resulting in Mike Johnson getting sent home at the rose ceremony. (So he could go prep to be the next Bachelor , we pray really hard.) Watch Bachelor in Paradise Season 6 Episode 10 Online The next morning, just as Blake and Kristina were beginning to explore their romance, everyone was thrown for a loop — thanks to a pair of  arrivals. First, in walked Bri Barnes from Colton Underwood‘s season of The Bachelor. It turns out that Blake and Bri had hit it off at Chris Randone and Krystal Nielson’s wedding just days prior (because of course they did)  and when Barnes pulled Blake aside for a discussion, Kristina basically lost it. And yet: Blake stuck to his word, nicely declining Bri’s date card. She ended up going surfing with fellow newcomer Matt Donald, while Blake desperately – and unsuccessfully – attempted to break down Kristina’s walls back at the bungalows. At last, we get to Caelynn Miller-Keyes and Connor Saeli (from Hannah Brown‘s season of The Bachelorette), two people looking for love and no drama. “I came here for a relationship, and finally, I feel good,” Caelynn said at one point. “Connor and I are exploring what we have, and I’m happy. I deserve this after the hell that I’ve been through.” However, all was about to change. Just when it seemed as if nothing could go wrong, a freshly-shaven Dean Unglert made his totally unexpected return (!!!!!!!!!!) to beg Caelynn for another chance after dumping her — just a week ago. “When I left, I made a decision that I thought was best for you, but it wasn’t really fair of me to make that decision,” he explained, adding: “Then I flew back to San Diego, and the entire flight back I literally could not stop thinking about you. I rented a car and drove to the Grand Canyon, and as I was there I thought about how badly I wished that you were there with me.” How sweet and not remotely scripted, right? “I knew that I needed to come here and tell you that I wanted us to try and be in a relationship,” Dean added. “I came here to ask you if you would leave Paradise with me today.” Wow, huh? Caelynn didn’t know what to say or what to do. “Right now, I’m the most confused I’ve ever been in my entire life. This is not an easy decision,” she said. “I literally have the dangerous guy and the perfect man. I have no idea what to do.” We’ll need to tune in next week to find out what she chooses. Darn you, ABC! View Slideshow: Peter Weber as The Bachelor: A Nation Reacts!

Kevin Federline Accuses Jamie Spears of Child Abuse

… and, just like that, Britney Spears’ new hair color doesn’t seem like a very big deal any longer. Not after multiple outlets have confirmed Kevin Federline recently accused his former father-in-law of child abuse. The former professional dancer — who was married to Spears for two years and who shares kids Sean Federline, 13, and Jayden James Federline, 12 — with the global superstar, has filed an official police report  against Jaime Spears. In documents obtained by The Blast, it has been reported that Kevin filed said report on August 25, the day after an alleged physical altercation between Jamie and his and Britney’s oldest son, Sean. This incident supposedly went down at Jamie’s home in Ventura County while he was watching his grandkids. According to TMZ insiders, an altercation between Jamie and Sean turned physical at one point… with Mr. Spears putting his hands on his grandson in violent fashion. It was not by accident, either, these same insiders explain. TMZ writes that Jamie broke down a door to get to his grandson and grabbed him once he was in the room. It’s unclear at this time exactly what precipated to confrontation — not that it matters, of course. The action described above is wildly inappropriate and likely illegal, if the report is true. Sources close to the investigation tell TMZ that there were no visible bruises or injuries to the 13-year old. Nevertheless, this incident was severe enough to Federline that he reported it the next to day to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department. While we await further details, we can at least report investigators have already interviewed witnesses and turned over their findings to the District Attorney’s Office. The district attorney is the person who will now determine if there’s enough evidence against Jamie Spears to file charges. Spears and Federline stunned the world when they exchanged vows in 2004; they took fans by less surprise in 2006 when they filed for divorce. This police report filing comes just days after Federline and Spears formalized a custody agreement in which Kevin will have custody of their two sons 70 percent of the time. This has been the general arrangement for about a year, but it is now legal. Prior to this set-up, Kevin and Britney — who have been on very solid terms for many years — shared custody of their kids equally. UPDATE : As you could have guessed, this alleged altercation between Jamie and Sean took place during Britney’s allotted time with the children. We cannot say for certain where she was at the time, but she allegedly took Sean and Jayden away from their grandfather at one point and brought them back to her home.  Federline was called later to pick them up and the boys stayed the evening of August 24 with their father. If Jamie is charged, the crime will more than likely be considered a misdemeanor. Jamie has served as the conservator of his daughter’s estate for nearly a decade. He has often had a turbulent relationship with Federline, especially of late. Earlier this year, Jamie and Kevin went at it in court over an increase in child support for the former DJ as he took over the majority of custody while Britney dealt with mental health issues. Britney has not yet commented on the abuse allegations against her father. UPDATE: Federline has been granted a restraining order against Jamie Spears.

Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter: Living Together With Zero Regrets!

After seeing Miley Cyrus and Kaitlynn Carter pile on the PDA at the 2019 VMAs, the world knew that they were still going strong. But what looks like a rebound fling between friends could easily fall apart, right? According to this report, Miley and Kaitlynn don’t have any regrets about their breakups or about getting together. They’ve even moved in together. People spoke to an inside source close to Miley Cyrus to ask about her ongoing relationship with Kaitlynn Carter. “They live together and are very happy,” the insider affirms about Miley and Kaitlynn. The source went on to reveal that “Miley is doing great.” Yes, her relationship with Liam Hemsworth lasted for over a decade, but that’s not holding her back from finding her happiness. “She is moving on,” the insider reports. Miley’s marriage came to an end with a public divorce and then she got into a very public relationship with Kaitlynn. “She seems to have no regrets,” the source assesses. That is wonderful to hear. According to the insider: “She loves being with Kaitlynn.” That much has been very apparent, but that is wonderufl to hear. “Miley is very close with Kaitlynn,” another insider recently told People  in a previous report. “It’s romantic, but also a friendship,” the source pointed out. Of course. They were friends before any of this happened. All of the best relationships are like that. “They are both going through similar stuff right now,” the insider acknowledged. Both recently and very publicly split from very serious, committed relationships with handsome men from famous families. “And,” the source concluded, the two of them “are bonding over it.” Officially, Miley and Liam just grew apart and realized that marriage wasn’t right for them, and all of that jazz. You know, the usual publicist default explanation for any split. But Miley’s lyrics at her VMAs performance appeared to throw shade at Liam Hemsworth . At one point, a tweak to the normal lyrics made it appear that she thinks that she’s grown as a person, but he hasn’t. At another point, the lyrics make reference to her not needing “whiskey and pills,” giving the appearance of credence to rumors that Liam’s substance use contributed to the divorce. Interestingly, viewers of The Hills: New Beginnings recently got a hint about Kaitlynn and Brody Jenner’s romantic and sexual past. A recent episode discussed a rumor that the two had been polyamorous in the past, having one or more partners join them. (Or, at least, perhaps being in an open relationship) Some fans have speculated that Miley and Kaitlynn may have hooked up prior to either split — not cheating , but doing so with the consent of their respective partners. If so, that would be great — but not the cause of their breakups. But if that shot-in-the-dark theory is correct, it could explain why the two friends knew right away that they’d be great together as a couple. We’re so happy that they’ve both found each other and we wish them both a world of happiness. View Slideshow: 21 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History

Haley Smith, Former American Idol Contestant, Dies in Motorcycle Crash

We have very sad news to report from the world of reality television: Haley Smith, a former American Idol hopeful who advanced to Hollywood back in 2012, was killed this past Saturday morning in Maine after she was involved in a one-vehicle motorcycle crash. The singer was 27 years old. According to authorities, per TMZ, the fatal accident took place in the town of Millinocket. The police say that Smith seemingly failed to make a sharp turn along a residential road that turned into a highway in certain sections. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Smith’s father, Mike, told the aforementioned outlet that his daughter was riding on this country road and her family believes a deer could have caused the crash. Mike also implied Haley was a strong motorcycle driver and doubted that she simply lost control of her bike, for whatever that is worth. It has also been confirmed that the crash occurred around 2 a.m. As for her stint on American Idol? Smith auditioned for the competition in Colorado. She only advanced to the second Hollywood round, yet impressed judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler with her folksy version of Chaka Khan’s “Tell Me Something Good.” The Aerosmith frontman said at the time it was an honor to hear Smith sing, adding that she was out of his “era” with her look and sound. “I love your voice so much. You’re right out of my era and I’m honored to be hear listening to your voice,” he said to be exact. You can take a look below at a clip of Smith from her time on the beloved show: Haley Smith on American Idol Smith was only 18 years old when she appeared on Idol. The show, as you very likely know if you’re reading this, was canceled after 15 season on Fox in 2015. It has since been revived by ABC — with judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan starring on the program opposite longtime host Ryan Seacrest. The singing competition is heading into its 18th season (its third on ABC) and is scheduled to premiere in 2020. Smith is one of a handful of former American Idol contestants to have passed away since appearing on the series. Paula Goodspeed was the first death to hit close to American Idol when the Season 5 hopeful died from an apparent drug overdose in 2008. In July 2009, Alexis Cohen was killed by a hit-and-run driver in New Jersey. In August 2014, Season 7 finalist Michael Johns passed away due to complications of an undiagnosed heart condition called dilated cardiomyopathy. A few months later, fellow Season 7 competitor Joanne Borgella died from cancer. Then, in May 5, 2016, 36-year-old American Idol Season 2 finalist Rickey Smith was killed by a drunk driver. May Haley Smith rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Jenelle Evans Delays Makeup Release Date AGAIN: Is Her Business Officially Done?!

Jenelle Evans is having a tough time lately. And we're not talking about the continued concerns about her ability to raise her children. Or the fact that she's now launched an ill-advised smear campaign against Olivia Leedham , the mother of David Eason's son. No, the latest Evans mini-scandal has to do with the release of her long-gestating makeup line. Jenelle has been teasing the release of JE Cosmetics for years, and she had an online launch date set for September 1. That date came and went with no launch — and now, fans want answers. Take a look: 1. Cosmetics Queen After years of waiting, Jenelle recently announced that she was FINALLY set to release her makeup line. 2. Makeup Mogul The line has reportedly been Jenelle’s main focus in the months since she got fired from Teen Mom 2, and insiders say she hoped it would lead her down the path to total financial independence. 3. Serious Commitment Apparently, the fear of financial ruin is the only motivator Jenelle needed. She was so serious about getting this thing off the ground that she went to D.C. to meet with investors DURING her custody battle. 4. Many Hurdles Of course, there are setbacks and unexpected challenges with any small business launch, but in Jenelle’s case, it seems like that’s all she’s encountered. 5. The Hard Sell These days, Jenelle’s reputation is so bad she can’t even find companies willing to pay her to post sponsored content on her Instagram. 6. Can She Be Trusted? She says she’s found investors to partner with her on her current project, but who are they? And more importantly, where’s the product? View Slideshow

Tamra Judge Thinks Bethenny Frankel is Full of It

Tamra Judge has a few things to say about Bethenny Frankel’s recent announcement. The long-time Real Housewives of New York City cast member confirmed two weeks ago that she’s leaving the franchise which made her famous, prompting Judge to react in a way that can be summed up as follows: LOLOLOLOL! With Season 12 of this beloved series nearing production, Frankel told Variety in late August that she was finished with the program in part, she explained, because she wanted to spend more time with daughter Bryn. Here is a portion of Bethenny’s statement on the topic: I have decided to leave the Housewives’franchise to explore my next chapter. It’s time to move on and focus on my daughter, my philanthropy and my production partnership with Mark Burnett, producing and starring in shows which represent a shift in the conversation for women. With the changes in modern culture, I want to highlight the strength, confidence and unstoppable power that women have….I am excited for my future. The best is yet to come. Seems simple and straightforward enough, right? Nope, not according to Judge. In an interview with E!’s The Daily Pop, Judges scoffed at the notion that any star walks away from these Bravo shows for reasons having to do with their families. We’ll let her explain why. “I hate when a housewife either gets fired or says she quits… When they go on record [and] say, ‘I just need to spend time with my kids,’” Judge told the E! show, adding: “[I’m] just like, ‘Really? Because you weren’t spending time because we work three hours a day?’”  We gotta admit: that’s a rather great burn and self-own. One must appreciate it any time a reality star admits that he or she barely really works. The Real Housewives of Orange County star didn’t merely trash Bethenny, either. She went on to broadly cite all Housewives who have walked away under the guise of “spending quality time with children” or who have alleged that “the drama is just too much for me” or “I can’t stand the toxic environment.” Judge thinks all these excuses are total and complete BS. According E! host Carissa Culiner, Tamra went on to clarify during the interview that she “just hate[s] it when people aren’t honest about the way they’re leaving the show.” It sounds to us like Judge believes women only leave these shows due to contractual disputes. And sources have actually indicated that Bethenny did want more money from producers for Season 12. She allegedly had a salary figure in mind… executives didn’t meet it… and she then left, with her head held high and many other opportunities available for her to succeed elsewhere. Is this really all that different from what Frankel said in her departure statement? No. But would The Real Housewives be a hit if stars didn’t slam each other at every opporunity? Also no. Tamra is only really doing what she’s being paid to do here. View Slideshow: 13 Boring Real Housewives Who Were Given the Boot

13 Most Controversial Reality TV Shows of All-Time

In order for viewers to tune into a TV show, there has to be drama.  These 13 shows courted controversy throughout their time on the air.  Some of the scandals resulted in the shows getting canceled, while some of the shows are still on the air.  Have a look below.  1. Teen Mom The Teen Mom franchise has been a ratings winner for MTV. The show has stirred up much controversy over the years. From Jenelle Evans’ multiple arrests to some things we’d rather not speak about from Farrah Abraham’s life, the series has beaten the odds. The moms at the helm of the series seem to court controversy wherever they go. Maybe it just comes with the territory. 2. Buckwild Reality TV is more successful for MTV than anything else. Buckwild was like a mashup of Jersey Shore and Jackass. Some of the content was a cause for concern and there was much viewer backlash. A second season was ordered, but cast members started getting in trouble with the law. Things took a harrowing turn when cast member, Shain Gandee, tragically died of carbon monoxide poisoning. MTV ultimately pulled the plug while filming the second season. 3. Toddlers & Tiaras The world has mixed feelings about beauty pageants, so you can imagine the backlash when TLC launched Toddlers & Tiaras — a show that pretty much exploited young children. The most controversial moment, however, involved one young girl dressing up as Julia Roberts’ prostitute character from Pretty Woman. 4. Here Comes Honey Boo Boo This is a spin-off of Toddlers & Tiaras, and let’s just say it was filled with just as much controversy. The series was canceled when Mama June reportedly rekindled her relationship with the sex offender who allegedly molested her daughter. 5. 19 Kids & Counting The Duggar clan have been around for years, and it quickly became clear that they were hiding many secrets behind closed doors. TLC canceled the series after reports emerged, claiming that Josh Duggar molested a number of young women, including his own sisters. 6. Boy Meets Boy This series could have been a Bachelor for same-sex couples, but it was one of the most irresponsible series on the air. It focused on a man looking for love and eliminating the men who he did not feel a connection with. However, the producers thought it would be a good idea to have straight men in the mix.

Kailyn Lowry Comes Clean About Relationship With Leah Messer: We Lied to the Fans!

For months now, we've been hearing rumors that Kailyn Lowry and Leah Messer are dating. At first, those rumors seemed to be inspired by nothing other than the fact that Kail and Leah enjoy taking vacations together. In recent weeks, however, Messer and Lowry both dropped some pretty strong hints on social media. Are they really dating — or just enjoying the attention? Kail took to her Coffee Convos podcast this week to clear the air — and you might be surprised by what she had to say. Take a look: 1. The Besties Leah and Kailyn have been close friends for years, but their relationship has become even tighter in recent months. 2. Vacation Buddies Lowry and Messer have taken multiple vacations together recently, sometimes with their kids in tow — and sometimes not. 3. Inseparable In fact, these days it seems that Leah and Kail rarely travel without each other. 4. More Than Friends? On vacay, these two seem to seriously enjoy each other’s company. Does their joy and the frequency of their trips mean there’s something going on here beyond friendship? 5. Bound to Happen Yes, it’s unfortunate — but inevitable — that fans would begin to speculate on the nature of Messer and Lowry’s relationship. 6. Fuel to the Fire To be fair, neither party has done much to squash the rumors — in fact, they’ve actively encouraged them. View Slideshow

Kathryn Dennis and Hunter Price: It’s Over After Seven Months!

On Thursday, Kathryn Dennis took to social media to thank everyone for watching Southern Charm . She also flaunted a diamond ring. Could it be that, after her vicious custody battle , Kathryn had finally found new happiness with boyfriend Hunter Price ? Sadly, apparently not.  “Thank y’all so much for watching us this season,” Kathryn wrote in her captions on Thursday. She praised her fans, saying: “Y’all make it all worth it!” “Stay gucci and stay tuned,” the Southern Charm star concluded. What caught the attention and hopes of her fans and followers was the photo itself, however. Kathryn is seen wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger — and prominently displaying it. Naturally, many fans jumped to the understandably conclusion that Kathryn is engaged to Hunter Price. The two have been dating for seven months. Hunter is a Country music singer who rose to fame on America’s Got Talent . He also happens to be a major hottie. After Thomas being a nightmare human being and twice her age, a lot of fans were rooting for them. Instead, not only are they not engaged, but they’re no longer even dating. People reports that Kathryn and Hunter have broken up. “Kathryn is not engaged to anyone but herself,” an inside source revealed to the publication. The insider’s phrasing is very affirming language — it’s good to hear that Kathryn is working on loving herself. Then, the world learned that this breakup news managed to stay under wraps for a little while. “She and Hunter actually split about two weeks ago,” the source shared. It wasn’t so long ago that Kathryn was gushing over Hunter and calling him “my person.” So what went wrong for this couple?  “Their relationship ran its course,” the insider simply stated. That could be a BS cover story, but you know what? That happens sometimes. “Kathryn is doing well,” the source assured fans. “And staying focused on the kids.” Kathryn is of course a devoted mother of two young children: 5-year-old Kensie and 3-year-old Saint. We know that the outcome of Kathryn’s custody battle with her disgraced ex Thomas Ravenel did not go ideally for either of them. They share custody, but the court placed some restrictions upon both of them. Either may drug-test the other at random, with any findings reported to family court. Neither is permitted to drink while they have the kids. Probably for the best. Additionally — and why we bring this up — both are forbidden from having “sleepovers” while they have custody, or even exposing a lover to their kids without the other’s consent. It’s possible that these new orders took the wind out of Kathryn and Hunter’s sails, so to speak, and that their romance just fizzled out. Ultimately, however, we of course do not know what broke them up. The explanation that the relationship “ran its course” may be vague, but it’s as good as any and may even be true. Kathryn has never had any problems in the hookup department so we’re sure that she won’t want for a companion for long. Good for her for balancing living her life while prioritizing her children.

Demi Lovato Admits to Feud With Taylor Swift: Life’s Too Short For This Sh-t!

Last week saw the release of a new Taylor Swift album, and while fans of good music have already moved on to Lana Del Rey’s latest release, fans of petty drama are still dissecting Lover’s lyrics in search of clues. Of course, while there’s surely much for Swiftologists to decipher in the their queen’s new songs, true to its name, Lover seems to be more inspired by Taylor’s relationship with Joe Alwyn than by her many quarrels. That’s a little disappointing, becuase Tay has a whole lot of irons in the fire these days in terms of personal and professional rivalries, including an unexpected beef with Demi Lovato. It all started when Swift expressed her displeasure with the fact that music mogul Scooter Braun has purchased the rights to her earliest albums. Swift slammed Braun in a lengthy social media tirade, writing: “Some fun facts about today’s news: I learned about Scooter Braun’s purchase of my masters as it was announced to the world,” Taylor wrote. “All I could think about was the incessant, manipulative bullying I’ve received at his hands for years,” she added. This led to tension between Taylor and Demi, who has long been a supporter of Braun’s. “I have dealt with bad people in this industry, and Scooter is not one of them. He’s a good man,” Lovato wrote in Braun’s defense. “Personally, I’m grateful he came into my life when he did. Please stop ‘dragging’ people or bullying them. There’s enough hate in this world as it is. Y’all can come after me all you want, but I’m always gonna stay loyal to my team,” Demi added. “I value loyalty more than most people in this world, and if my name is gonna be brought into conversations, I’m gonna stand up for myself and the ones on my team,” she concluded. The situation between the singers deteriorated so rapidly that it was rumored that Demi skipped the VMAs just to “shade” Taylor on her big night. We later learned that Lovato actually had a legitimate reason for staying home that had nothing to do with Swift. (She was filming an episode of Will & Grace , and will apparently be a regular cast member on the sitcom next season.) And now, Demi is making sure the world knows that she harbors no ill will toward Taylor. “Life’s too short for women not to support other women…especially when women release great music,” she wrote, on Instagram, adding “great job @taylorswift.” The last comment seems to be a reference to Taylor’s new album, which is apparently a favorite of Demi’s. The singer made it clear that she’s a fan by highlighting her favorite track: So there you have it. The beef between Taylor and Demi was very real — but it’s already been squashed. Swift is on a real peace-making streak latelt, having ended her feud with Katy Perry earlier this summer. Now if only she could bury the hatchet with Kim Kardashian … View Slideshow: Taylor Swift is STILL Talking About That Kim Kardashian Feud
