Kailyn Lowry and Jenelle Evans have had their ups and downs. Mostly their downs, really, especially since Jenelle told the world that Kailyn was pregnant with her third child before her fellow Teen Mom 2 star wanted to break the news. Ever since then, there's been an endless stream of back-and-forth between the MTV personalities — but the feud may have hit its nadir a few weeks ago when Evans burned a bunch of hair products Lowry sent her way as a peace offering. Yes, this really happened. But why has Lowry spoken of the dangerous act in a positive manner? Why did she actually thank her long-time rival on microphone this week? Scroll down to find out! 1. I’m Rich, Biatch! On her latest podcast episode of Coffee Convos with Lindsie Chrisley, Lowry said something very nice about Evans. But it came with a major twist/caveat. 2. What Did She Say? Lowry thanked Evans for helping to pad her bank account. How so, you are likely wondering? Come with us as we explain… 3. In Late December, Lowry Sent Jenelle Some Products from Her Pothead Hair Line As you can see in the video above, Evans set fire to these items. 4. What Was Kailyn Thinking? “I sent everyone in the cast a PR box, including Jenelle,” Lowry told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup last month, adding at the time: “I figured maybe this will be the thing that breaks the ice and we’ll be cool again.” 5. What Was Jenelle Thinking? “Hey, Kail,” Jenelle says in the footage. “This is to your peace offering.” She then lights the products on fire and runs for her life, while some loud music plays in the background. 6. Evans Also Laid Into Kailyn Via a Caption to This Video “Been debating whether to upload this, but I feel like the time is appropriate,” it began. “Kail Lowry, for years you’ve been super jealous and envious of all us girls on the show.” View Slideshow
We spent much of the past year thinking there's nothing that Jenelle Evans and David Eason could do that would shock us. And they spent that same stretch of time repeatedly proving us wrong. Assault accusations? Dozens of CPS investigations? A visit from the Secret Service ? You name it, it went down on The Land in 2018. Foolishly, we thought there was no way the Easons could top the insanity in 2019. But David has proven us wrong right out of the gate. Take a look: 1. David on the Land David has been in a downward spiral ever since he closed out 2018 with a bizarre incident in which he seemed to threaten physical violence against several high-profile elected officials. 2. Biting the Hand That Feeds Him For reasons that remain unclear, David seems to be hellbent on getting Jenelle fired from her cushy, six-figure job. 3. Menacing Dave There have been reports of David stalking and harassing crew members as they attempt to film Jenelle’s segments for the show. (David was fired last from Teen Mom 2 last year.) 4. Unhinged According to a report from The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, several crew members have threatened to quit the show over concerns about David’s violent tendencies. 5. Playing It Safe “After the first video [of David threatening to shoot trespassers who came on The Land] incident, several of them said they will no longer accept shoots with Jenelle, because they are downright scared to go anywhere near her, out of fear of what David may do,” a source told The Ashley. 6. Scary Situation “There are some people who no longer feel safe going down there anymore because David has made it clear that he does not like the people from MTV, and that he has a ton of weapons,” the insider continued.

To those who tuned in for The Bachelor premiere on Monday, the following is not exactly breaking news. But it still must be said: Catherine Agro is not shy. The aspiring wife of Colton Underwood arrived at the ABC mansion this past Monday night showing off both her legs and her dog, Lucy. She made a solid first impression on the famous virginal star of Season 23, but she made a very different kind of impression on her fellow suitors. Argo swooped in and stole Colton away conversations with other women on four separate occasions during this extended premiere, setting an unofficial record for interruptions, according to the Internet. As you can see below, other contestants were not happy about it. The Bachelor Sneak Peek: Is This the Season 23 Villain? But it’s clear Argo doesn’t really care. Did she head into this season with the goal of acting as some sort of villain? We can’t say for sure. She just seems to be embracing it at this point. In her Instagram bio, which Catherine made public shortly after she started to gain some notoriety, the new reality star reveals that she is a twin, and an aspiring DJ. She also says that she is a Christian and a real estate agent who attended the University of Florida. Oh, and she also poses like this: “extra extra read all about it,” Catherine captioned this racy bikini photo. Doesn’t sound like someone who plans on running for the attention bound to come her way, does it? Catherine also tags the Bachelor Winter Games Instagram account in this picture, seemingly trying to get that program’s attention … and possibly hoping for an invitation to the show. This certainly wouldn’t be the first time a suitor used The Bachelor as a springboard to more appearances within the ABC reality show franchise. But it does appear as if Colton may need to ask himself whether Catherine is in this for the right reasons. Will her aggressive approach work? You can visit our section of The Bachelor spoilers to see who advances to the final four, final three and then who is chosen as the winner. You can also click down below and scroll all around to read some whoppers about the episodes ahead. Without giving too much away, let’s just tease that you’ll be stunned by how many women simply quit the series this season. It’s true!

Jeff Bezos is man not lacking for money. Or confidence, based on a startling new report. Simply put, the Amazon CEO allegedly sent naked photos of himself to his mistress last year. On Wednesday morning, Bezos confirmed to the world that he and his wife, MacKenzie, were divorcing after 25 years of marriage. It was your basic announcement, coupled with your basic statement that read as follows: As our family and close friends know, after a long period of loving exploration and trial separation, we have decided to divorce and continue our shared lives as friends. Simple enough, right? But the split has become far more complicated and seemingly sordid as certain details have been made public. For example, Bezos is accused of starting an affair last spring with Lauren Sanchez (a former morning show anchor and So You Think You Can Dance host), the wife of A-list Hollywood talent agency mogul Patrick Whitesell. The mega billionaire, his soon-to-be-ex, Sanchez and Whitesell were all friends for about a decade before this rumor started to make the round. It’s believed that Whitesell and Sanchez were separated when this romantic entangelement bega, but it’s not clear whether the same status applies to Bezos and MacKenzie. Earlier on Thursday, meanwhile, racy text messages Bezos supposedly sent to Sanchez were published by The National Enquirer. We cannot confirm their validity, but they read as follows… I love you, alive girl. I will show you with my body, and my lips and my eyes, very soon. – Sent in April 2018. I want to smell you, I want to breathe you in. I want to hold you tight. …I want to kiss your lips….I love you. I am in love with you . – Sent in May 2018. Now, the Enquirer has gone ahead and taken its investigation into this affair one step further: The publication has claimed that Bezos sent Sanchez photos of his penis, although it did not print these photos; nor any of the alleged snapshots he also sent of himself shirtless. However, the tabloid writes that they really do exist and says that one half-naked picture was texted to Sanchez on June 1, 2018. Inlcuded with it was a caption that read: You know what I want? I want to get a little drunk with you tonight. Not falling down. Just a little drunk. I want to talk to you and plan with you. Listen and laugh … I basically WANT TO BE WITH YOU!!! Then I want to fall asleep with you and wake up tomorrow and read the paper with you and have coffee with you. That’s more hilarious and sort of sweet than lewd, isn’t it? He wants to just get a “little” drunk and basically cuddle with Sanchez for awhile?!? AWWWW, Jeff! In a reply to the Enquirer, Bezos’ attorney said he “supports journalistic efforts and does not intend to discourage reporting about him.” Bezos, of course, owns The Washington Post. He has not commented beyond his initial statement about his divorce, nor has MacKenzie nor has Sanchez. Neither has Whitesell, but an insider told Us Weekly: “Patrick was totally blindsided. He had no idea how serious the affair was or how long it was going on for. Patrick had no idea she was having an affair with Jeff.” It’s also unknown at this point whether Bezos’ alleged affair will impact his divorce settlement. View Slideshow: 19 Most Expensive Celebrity Divorces Ever: Where Does Jeff Bezos Rank? The CEO is worth over $137 billion, making him the richest person in the world. He does not have a prenuptial agreement. So even though MacKenzie is likely hurting a lot right now over these reports, she’ll at least have billions and billions of reasons to feel a little better in the near future.
Actors who portray badass characters generally aren’t quite as cool in real life as their onscreen creations. But that might not be the case with Sophie Turner. Sophie is obviously best known for her role as the savvy and uber-resilient Sansa Stark on Game of Thrones . But after today, you might prefer to think of her as Slayer of the Doughy Douche Lord. We’re talking, of course, about Piers Morgan, a man who’s clung to his last remaining shred of relevancy by burying his nose in Donald Trump’s nether regions and adopting the most obnoxious “hot take” extremist stance on every issue to come down the pike. Piers is one of those media figures who’s forever railing against the “snowflake” weaklings who he accuses of undermining the manly virtues that form the foundations of the western world. This, despite the fact that Piers has roughly the same build as the Comic Book Guy on The Simpsons and melts down like Frosty at the Equator every time someone says something mean about him on the internet. Still licking his wounds after waging a losing battle against Ariana Grande fans , Piers has decided to take on the mentally ill. We kid you not. On Wednesday, Piers retweeted an article the unknown-on-this-side-of-the-pond actress Beverley Callard, who is apparently very pissed off that famous people are demonstrating compassion toward people suffering from medical ailments. “Beverley Callard says celebs are trying to make mental health problems ‘fashionable,'” reads the original tweet. “She’ll be hammered for saying this, but it’s 100% true.” What we have here is a couple elderly edgelords presenting an objectively dumb opinion and preemptively patting themselves on the back for all the flak they’re gonna take, as if the impending ratio in any way lends credence to what they’re saying. By their logic, celebrities who speak out against opioid addiction are glamorizing fentanyl. These are the obnoxious blatherings like these might prompt you to respond to Piers directly, but we encourage you to hold off. For one thing, Morgan has a reputation for reporting his critics as “bullies” and having them confined to Twitter jail. On top of that, Sophie Turner already decimated Piers for you: “Or maybe they have a platform to speak out about it and help get rid of the stigma of mental illness which affects 1 in 4 people in UK per year,” Turner replied. “But please go ahead and shun them back into silence. Twat.” Oof. Piers would probably happily trade places with Theon Greyjoy at this point. All hail Lady Sansa.
As previously detailed, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are preparing to welcome their fourth child at some point in the next few months. Due to the former sex tape star’s ongoing health concerns, this impending child will once again be delivered via surrogate. Despite neither Kim nor Kanye having commented on the news, few Internet users have very many questions about the process. We all just lived through it a year ago when little Chicago was born to Kim and Kanye, after all. However, many folks out there do have questions about the couple’s future. Specifically: Will unnamed child number-four be their final family member? Or should we expect Kardashian and West to add to their brood on a nearly-annual basis? An insider tells Radar Online that the answer is simple, and perhaps a bit surprising to those who have been following these stars closely throughout their marriage. “Kanye and Kim are definitely not done with having kids after their fourth,” a source tells this website. “Kim wants five or six!” That may sound like a lot, but another recent report alleged that Kanye wants an entire soccer team . That may be an exaggeration, or it may be that Kanye truly does want over a dozen sons and daughters running around. And why not, if you’re Kanye?!? He likely does little at home to care for his children and this would be the best way to carry on his legacy. “They’ve always wanted a dynasty,” says this Radar source . “They really think of themselves as royalty – like Princess Kate and Prince William of the U.S.” We’d make some sort of joke here, but let’s be honest: Who has done more to earn their fame and fortune, Kim and Kanye or Kate and William? As mentioned above, Kim and Kanye are once again using a surrogate because it would be too dangerous for the mother of three to give birth again. They will be using a different surrogate than the one who carried Chicago to term, however, and we can also confirm the following: Kimye will be welcoming a boy! An insider has told US Weekly the famous couple had one male embryo left and a surrogate is now expecting the newest addition to their family “in very early May.” Sounds like they’ll need to make room in their holiday photos this year for another young one, huh? This Us Weekly insider adds that Kimye’s first surrogate only recent had a child of her own, hence the move to someone new. “They wanted to use the previous one, but she just wasn’t ready. But they will go back to her,” says the source, emphasizing again the desire to have many more kids down the line and concluding; “Their lives are over-the-top and larger-than-life so they want a larger-than-life family. They’re at their happiest with their kids.” Or when they’re ranting and raving on Twitter about some really weird stuff . One or the other.

These celebrity divorces ran the gamut from amicable to ugly, and infamous to under the radar, but they have one thing in common: They were not cheap. At all. ( UPDATE : As of January 2019, we likely have a new #1!) 1. Donald Trump and Ivana Trump Donald Trump’s divorce from Ivana Trump cost the mogul an estimated $25 million. Given that his net worth is between $1 billion and $10 billion depending on which speech you listen to these days … he got off easy. 2. Michael Douglas and Diandra Douglas Diandra Douglas got an estimated $45 million after she split with Michael Douglas in 2000; he went on to marry Catherine Zeta-Jones … the divorce from whom is sure to be even more costly. 3. Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey Phil Collins and Orianne Cevey split up in 2008, costing the Genesis singer and solo artiste a tidy $47 million. Yeah, those royalty checks from his light rock favorites are not small. 4. Paul McCartney and Heather Mills Paul McCartney and Heather Mills finalized their divorce in 2008 after a tumultuous split ended their marriage at four years. Mills walked away with over $48 million, a relative bargain for Sir Paul, who is the most famous, most covered (and thus, wealthiest) entertainers to ever live and still sells concert tickets for $300 a pop … to play stuff from his Wings years even. 5. James Cameron and Linda Hamilton Director James Cameron and actress Linda Hamilton settled their divorce in 1999. Cameron had to pay out $50 million. Then he made Avatar though, so he’s doing well. 6. Kelsey Grammer and Camille Grammer Kelsey Grammer settled with ex-wife Camille for an estimated $60 million after their divorce became one of the most surprisingly ugly on record. Not just because Kelsey Grammer had so much money that he could cut a check for $60 million … but because for that amount, he couldn’t even legally get her to STFU on Bravo. Time to get a new lawyer.

When the world first learned that Jersey Shore would be returning to MTV , there were concerns that with the cast approaching middle-age, there wouldn’t be enough drama in their lives to sustain an entire season of television. Instead, the opposite has proven true, and it’s turned out that there’s more chaos and insanity in the guidos’ lives than could ever be contained in a single reality show. First, the relationship between Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley caused quite a stir on numerous occasions. Many assumed that the situation had come to a head when Jen dragged Ronnie with her car back in June of 2018, but amazingly, these two are still trying to make their relationship work. The same can’t be said of Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews. Jenni filed for divorce from Roger back in September but the situation has only gotten uglier in the months since. Mathews has begged Jenni to take him back in public and increasingly aggressive ways. Last month, Farley filed for a restraining order against her ex after an altercation at their home became violent. Like we said, there’s been no shortage of drama for the Seaside Six these days. And we haven’t even mentioned Mike Sorrentino’s prison sentence , which is scheduled to begin next week. But through it all, Vinny Guadagnino has mostly managed to keep his nose clean and his diet keto. “I just want him to know I am here for him,” the 30-year-old shares. “We are here for him as a safety net.” As for Farley, Vinny says he’s unconcerned about her emotional state, as he’s never met someone who’s cooler under pressure. “She’s like the exact example to follow when you have to go through something like that publicly, because she’s not impulsive; she doesn’t react on emotions, she’s like smart,” Guadagnino claims. Vinny says Jenni’s level-headed demeanor is mostly a result of the fact that she “wants the best for her children.” As for his own transition into adulthood, Vinny says his priorities have changed considerably since he turned 30 last year. While Vinny acknowledges his decade or so of hard-partying and promiscuity — saying he “had to go through that phase” — he claims those days are far behind him. These days, Vinny says his primary goals are to “get more sleep and just add on to my new healthy lifestyle.” We’re sure he’d also like to keep the Jersey Shore revival gravy train rolling. Of course, that might have to wait until The Sitch is finished serving his time. The drama never stops with this bunch! We suppose it’s a gift and a curse, as very few reality casts have kept the audience engaged for this long. View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?
For the most part, Duggar women are very strongly encouraged to eschew careers in favor of devoting their adult years to child-rearing. There is, however, a short list of money-making endeavors that they’re permitted to pursue. At the top of the list is midwife work, which is one of the few professional avenues open to Duggar women. (The other one is flipping cars or otherwise assisting in one of Jim Bob’s many business ventures, but this is only permissible until such time as the woman finds a suitable sperm donor.) So Jill Duggar has continued working as a midwife even after tying the knot with Derick Dillard. Insiders say Jana Duggar recently followed in her sisters’ footsteps and is now delivering babies in and around her native Tontitown, Arkansas. And like Jill, it seems that Jana has yet to obtain the proper licensure. The Duggars have long taken a rather libertarian approach to state and local ordinances. For example, Jim Bob has pissed off his neighbors numerous times by basically ignoring zoning regulations. Of course, delivering babies is a pretty high stakes procedure, so the Duggars’ neighbors are a bit less forgiving of the alleged gaps in Jill and Jana’s training. To be fair, no one is claiming that the women didn’t receive any kind of training at all. It’s just that it appears they went through the sort of un-regulated faith-based program that the Duggars prefer for, well … everything. “This is hands-on apprenticeship style,” Jill once said in reference to her training. “So we are really getting in there and getting to experience what the midwifery and doula roles look like, hands-on.” Jill defenders have frequently pointed to the above photo, which does show Jill proudly displaying a certificate to work as a midwife. But the photo doesn’t tell the whole story. Jill is holding a Certified Professional Midwife’s competency license, which is very different from a Certified Nurse Midwife license, generally considered the standard in her field. So she and Jana might be able to work as midwife’s assistants, but they’re not qualified to perform such work on their own. The situation has attracted a considerable amount of controversy in recent weeks for a number of reasons: 1. Jill’s midwifing mentor, Vanessa Giron, is currently being sued by a mom who claims she nearly died during her deliver. (Sources say Jill was on hand for the delivery.) On top of that, it’s now rumored that several other Duggar daughters are beginning careers as midwives. Needless to say, this situation may not resolve itself as quickly and quietly as the Duggars are hoping. View Slideshow: The Duggars: Abusing Their Own Kids With Twisted “Pearl Method” Parenting
Hailey Baldwin has opened up to beg trolls to stop bullying her for marrying Justin Bieber . Now, she has penned another heartfelt post about a personal struggle that most people never saw coming. She is sharing her story in the hopes that it will help other women feel less alone. Hailey Bieber, who until very recently was known as Hailey Baldwin, took to Instagram to share a heartfelt message. “Stepping into 2019,” Hailey begins. “I want to be more open,” “I want to be more open about the things I struggle with,” she elaborates. “And,” Hailey continues, she wants to “be able to be more vulnerable.” “I’m 22 years old,” she reminds her fans and followers. (As a fellow Millennial I cannot imagine being married at 22) “And the truth is,” Hailey writes. “No matter how amazing life may look from the outside, I struggle.” “I’m insecure, I’m fragile, I’m hurting, I have fears, I have doubts, I have anxiety, I get sad, I get angry,” Hailey lists. Being beautiful, rich, famous, beloved, and married doesn’t make you immune to, well, being a person. “I have had more days than I can count where I’ve found myself scrolling through Instagram,” she writes. “Comparing myself, comparing my looks,” Hailey has days when she finds herself “feeling like I’m not good enough.” She admits to sometimes “feeling like I lack so many things and really struggling to be confident in who I am.” Hailey says that all of this is “because I constantly feel like I’m just not good enough.” “Every single day is a confidence battle for me,” Hailey admits. “I’m not writing this for a pity party or for sympathy,” she quickly clarifies. “But just to simply say, I’m a human.” Everyone but a small group of conspiracy theorists of Pizzagate and Flat Earth proportions agrees with her. “I’m a young woman,” Hailey points out. “I’m learning who I am and, it’s REALLY FREAKING HARD.” “It’s hard finding who you are,” she admits. “But what’s even harder,” Hailey continues. “Is being picked apart and compared to other women while trying to do that.” “There are days that I’m simply broken because of it,” Hailey shares. That is heartbreaking. “It would be incredible if other young girls and women could find it in themselves to lift each other up,” she expresses. Hailey would like for other women “to stop making other women who are struggling JUST LIKE THEM, feel incompetent and less than.” “We ALL have flaws, and that will never change,” she writes. What can change, however, is your self esteem, mental health, and how you view yourself. “What I do know is,” Hailey writes. “God made us individuals for a reason, with our own beauty, our own personalities, and our own story.” As you are probably aware, Hailey is a very devout Christian. Her father, Stephen Baldwin, was famously Born Again. “Because there’s a specific plan and purpose for each and every human created,” she continues. “And he makes no mistakes!!” “So this year I’m gonna do my very best to just be ME and be confident with who I am,” Hailey announces. “Cause I am enough,” she affirms. “And I’m loved,” “And you are enough,” Hailey concludes. “And you’re loved.” Hailey really hit this out of the park. A lot of celebrities unfortunately tend to turn posts like this into lengthy complaints about hateful comments that they receive. Some even compare rude comments from haters to genuine bullying that non-famous young people receive from peers. Hailey makes no such false equivalency, and merely points out the cruelty of it in a few posts before making a broader wish for all women. She is such a sweet, thoughtful person, and she deserves peace of mind. We hope that, soon, Hailey will be able to see herself as the rest of us see her — as absolutely gorgeous.
