Josh Murray: My Bad for Comparing Andi Dorfman to The Devil!

A former member of Bachelor Nation managed to steal attention away from the current Bachelor on Monday night. But not in a positive sense. Early yesterday, Josh Murray – who asked for Andi Dorfman’s hand in marriage on the finale of The Bachelorette Season 14 – shaded his former fiancee, sharing a photo on Twitter of him proposing to Dorfman on the series… … except he replaced Dorfman’s head with that of a Devil emoji. Hilarious, right?!? Not quite, basically every social media user shot back in reply. Murray deleted the photo in response to this backlash (although nothing is ever gone entirely from the Internet and we’ve posted it below), while also issuing the following mea culpa: You know, I got hit up with a lot of messages. I haven’t been looking at my social media. Apparently, my post made some waves in a bad way. I thought it was just funny. I thought it was humorous, but apparently it wasn’t very humorous. I guess I’m not very funny. I was trying to be funny in a half-hearted way, but everybody takes it so seriously and that’s my fault. I should know better. Tsk tsk. That’s a classic non-apology, isn’t it? He’s saying he’s sorry — but only because everyone takes things way too seriously and never lightens up he ought to have realized this and it’s only his bad because folks aren’t as chill and relaxed as he is. What a douche. “Haterz will say it’s photoshopped…hoping the new bachelor comes away with an Angel,” Murray captioned the image at the time he initially shared it. The ex-reality star also included the hashtags “#isthisnotfunny” and “#doesanyonehaveasenseofhumorin2019.” Murray and Dorfman called off their engagement four years ago. Shortly afterward, Dorfman described Murray as controlling and wrote about their tumultuous relationship in her bombshell memoir , “It’s Not Okay: Turning Heartbreak into Happily Never After,” which was published the following year. She labeled her romance with Murray the “most volatile and f-cked up relationship of my life” and said he never got over the fact that she slept with Nick Viall. “He was devastated, angry and hurt, badly,” she wrote, adding in this memoir: ‘That one sexual escapade would become a power play used by my fiancé to justify his mistrust in me. It would be an excuse to call me a whore. And it would eventually lead to the demise of my engagement.” The two broke up in January 2015. In an interview with People Magazine in 2016, Dorfman said of the relationship: “I was disgusted with myself for what I put up with. I was a strong, independent woman and I allowed [Josh] to be [emotionally abusive]. Now, I know I don’t want someone jealous or controlling. “I know what won’t make me happy in [the future].” Murray, for his part, went on to appear on Bachelor in Paradise (where he labeled Dorfman’s allegations as “fictional” and “ludicrous”) and eventually proposed to Amanda Stanton. However, the two also split. He appears to suck royally. View Slideshow: The Bachelor & The Bachelorette Cast: Their Hottest Swimsuit Photos Ever!

The Today Show Officially Replaces Megyn Kelly With…

Megyn Kelly is out. And her replacements are officially in. On Monday morning, about three months after Megyn Kelly was fired for being naive, insensitive and also pretty darn racist, NBC went ahead and seemingly named her replacement. Indeed, Megyn Kelly Today is no more. Viewers should now prepare themselves for …  Dylan Dreyer, Al Roker, Sheinelle Jones And Craig Melvin Today ? Okay, the name may be a work in progress. But Dreyer wrote the following to her Twitter followers a few hours ago: Hope you don’t mind these faces! You’ll be seeing a lot of them at 9am. Please join us! #3rdhourtoday #youvegotafriendinus #letthegoodtimesroll @TODAYshow @SheinelleJones @craigmelvin @alroker. Aside from tagging her colleagues, Dreyer shared this photo of them along with her message: Roker, meanwhile, posted the same snapshot and simply wrote: “I love these guys.”  It is worth noting, however, that NBC is yet to officially announce anything. In fact, Jenna Bush Hager served as a co-host on the day Dreyer sent this message; and she has been a rumored replacement herself for Kelly. Kelly, for her part, never found footing – or an audience – on NBC. The network tried to act as if she was never a polarizing political pundit at Fox News prior to her hiring, shaving off all rough edges and re-introducing her as their own kind of harmless and fun Kelly Ripa. The makeover never worked. It actually failed miserably. But Kelly wasn’t shown the door until she ignited a controversy during a Halloween costume discussion in which she wondered why blackface was considered taboo . “You do get in trouble if you are a white person who puts on blackface for Halloween or a black person who puts on white face for Halloween,” Kelly said during a panel discussion that got way, awy away from her, adding erroneously: “Back when I was a kid, that was OK as long as you were dressed up as like a character.” She later wondered what makes something racist . Once she learned the history of how demeaning and flat-out racist the concept of blackface actually is (something she, a seasoned journalist, didn’t know beforehand?!?), Kelly issued an apology. “I was wrong and I am sorry,” she told viewers, continuing as follows: “Sometimes I talk and sometimes I listen and yesterday, I learned. “I learned that given the history of blackface being used in awful ways by racists in this country, it is not OK for that to be part of any costume, Halloween or otherwise.” But it was too little and too late. And she had already been too unpopular at NBC for executives to fight for her job. Kelly, of course, walked away with millions and millions (and millions!) of dollars, so no one is feeling to badly for her at the moment. Elsewhere, NBC is yet to announce a replacement for Kathie Lee Gifford, who will be leaving her seat alongside Hoda Kotb in April. “I have my idea of who might be absolutely wonderful, but there’s a great pool of talent and beauty and heart around here, right within our own family,” Kathie Lee said when confirming her departure . “And if they come from outside the family they will soon become family because you all treat everybody that way…” Gifford is exiting the program in a graceful manner. The same cannot be said for Kelly. Will you give the 9 a.m. hour of Today a shot again if the quartet listed above really are the ones to step into Megyn’s shoes? (As documented below, those shoes have so often been anti-African American.) View Slideshow: 11 Times Megyn Kelly Was Really Very Racist

Drake Kisses, Gropes Underage Fan In Shocking Video

Last week, the world was stunned by a docuseries about R. Kelly focusing on the singer’s past sex crimes. Now, it seems the #MeToo movement may have turned its attention toward the world of hip hop and R&B, as a shocking new video shows Canadian hitmaker Drake engaging in some wildly inappropriate behavior with an underage fan. In the clip — which went viral on Twitter Saturday night — Drake can be seen kissing and gently fondling a fan who was brought on stage at one of his concerts At one point, Drake asks the girl’s age, and she informs him that she’s only 17 years old. Shockingly, the rapper responds by kissing her again, this time lightly groping her breasts. You can see the shocking moment for yourself in the video below, but be warned — the content presented here is disturbing: Drake Gropes Underage Fan It’s unclear when the video was taken or how old Drake, now 32, was at the time of the incident. The Daily Beast — the first mainstream outlet to report on the scandal — claims that the footage was captured “years ago.” “I get in trouble for s–t like this,” Drake says in the clip. “How old are you?” When the girl replies that she’s only 17, Drake jokes, “I can’t go to jail yet.” He then encourages her to return to her seat, but not before engaging in still more inappropriate behavior. “I had fun, I don’t know if I should feel guilty or not, but I had fun. I like the way your breasts feel against my chest,” he states. “I just want to thank you.” At that point, Drake kisses the girl several more times, purposefully grazing her breasts with his hands. This is not the first time that the rapper has landed in hot water as a result of his interactions with underage girls. Drake’s relationship with Millie Bobby Brown of Stranger Things fame has raised quite a few eyebrows in recent months. The 14-year-old actress stated in a recent interview that she and Drake text frequently and she often comes to him for advice when she’s having trouble “with boys.” Drake has yet to respond to outrage over the concert footage. We’ll have further updates on the situation as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: Drake: A History of Women He May Have Dated

Thomas Markle Actually Comes to Defense of Famous Daughter

Thomas Markle has said many things about his daughter over the past several months. If you’re an avid celebrity gossip follower and/or a fan of The Royal Family, you’re likely aware that Thomas has slammed Meghan Markle as a phony. And as a spoiled brat. And as an ungrateful child. And as a total and complete ghoster who has abandoned the man who helped bring her into the world. But now Thomas has surprised many folks out there by referring to Meghan as something else entirely: A victim . It’s true: the rumored feud between Markle and her fellow Duchess, Kate Middleton, has reached such an epic level of publicity that even Thomas thinks the coverage has been unfair to his child. In a recent interview with The Sun, the Markle patriarch weighed in on the never-ending chatter of a rift between Meghan and Middleton, along with incessant talk of Meghan as a “difficult” boss. Indeed, numerous Royal staffers have resigned of late, with reports indicating that Markle’s attitude is to blame. “If there is any animosity between Meghan and Kate, they should put their differences aside,” Thomas told The Sun. He added: “I’m very upset by the criticism Meghan is getting. I don’t think she deserves it and I don’t think she is doing one third of the things she is being accused of doing.” Thomas, of course, is the one who has offered up one scathing critique after another of Meghan. He’s alleged on many occasions that he keeps trying to reach out to his daughter, but that she’s rebuffed these efforts ever since he chose NOT to attend the Royal Wedding in May. (Thomas made this decision due to heart problems; and also due to his role in a paparazzi photo scandal.) In November, however, The Sun wrote that Meghan left Kate “in tears over her demands for Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress after a “stressful” fitting. And Thomas simply thinks this claim is BS. “I’m not buying that she made Kate cry,” Thomas told the newspaper in the new interview, expounding as follows: “First off, I think Kate is a stronger woman than that. I think Kate also knows she is in a stronger power position than Meghan is. “Kate’s the hero mother. I can’t see her being that weak. No woman is who pops out a kid then walks out of hospital the same day. I don’t think she’s afraid of anyone.” Kensington Palace rarely comments on rumors regarding the Royal Family. But a spokesperson did actually come out a few weeks ago and shot down this specific allegation. No matter the beef he personally has with Meghan, Thomas agrees that the Duchess of Sussex is getting a raw deal here. “I don’t believe that Meghan is trying to hurt her in any shape or form,” Thomas said to The Sun. “But at the moment I cannot call Meghan and say, ‘What is going on? How can I help you?’ I need to know what the hell is happening and why it is happening. I need to know why she is being bashed every day.” Meghan would probably like an answer to this question as well. All this said, Thomas is still angry that Meghan won’t talk to him. But he’s saved his harshest evaluation for her husband. He and Prince Harry reportedly got into an argument over the phone just under a year ago, after reports came out that Thomas sold photos to the press. It ended with Thomas hanging up on Harry. “I feel that he feels he is above everyone else and that he has a right to talk down to people,” Thomas told The Sun. “And I cannot accept that. It feels like arrogance.” View Slideshow: Meghan Markle: 19 Cruelest Things Her Own Family Has Said About the Duchess He concluded by saying there’s one simple way to get him to shut up. “If they ever want to speak to me, maybe I’ll quieten down a little bit. “But in the meantime I’m not going to become a monk in a monastery and take a vow of silence. The bottom line is that I’ve done nothing to deserve this kind of treatment. “The royals and Meghan can help end this nightmare by simply giving me a call.”

Briana DeJesus Pleads With Teen Mom 2 Fans: Stop Being So Mean!

Fame is a fickle mistress. Public figures have always enjoyed the luxuries of celebrity, while at the same time struggling with the many downsides of life in the public eye. And the situation is even more complex for reality stars, who must, by nature, share the most intimate details of their personal lives. And of course, social media breaks down the walls of privacy even further, leading many reality stars to feel uncomfortably exposed. One such star is Briana DeJesus, who took to Instagram this week to plea for a bit of compassion from Teen Mom 2 fans. Take a look: 1. Briana Drama Briana has been through a lot since she was unexpectedly added to the cast of Teen Mom back in 2017. 2. Backlash And like her co-stars, Briana has taken quite a bit of flak on social media from fans who don’t agree with her behavior. 3. Expired Beef These days, Briana’s feud with Kailyn Lowry seems to be mostly squashed, but during its high point, Bri took a lot of criticism from Kail supporters. 4. A Brief Romance Viewers also took issue with Bri’s romance with Javi Marroquin, as many felt that she was using Javi to get back at his ex-wife, Kailyn Lowry. 5. Falling on Deaf Ears Bri insists that wasn’t the case, but her harshest critics have no interest in hearing her side of the story. 6. Times Have Changed These days, Bri is in a committed relationship with a man named Johnny. View Slideshow

Ronnie Now Claims Jen Harley Assaulted Him with an Ashtray

Here we go again between Ronnie Magro and Jen Harley. And again and again and again. The on-again/off-again/on-again/they-should-absolutely-never-be-on-again couple got into a huge fight on New Year's Eve, as reported HERE . Then, Harley told the cops that Ronnie broke into her home and destroyed lots of stuff, as reproted HERE . Now, Ronnie has fired back with a charge of domestic battery against the father of his daughter, somehow managing to raise the stakes once again in this ugly and dangerous relationship. Scroll down for the latest. And join us in just feeling so so so so SO horrible for this twosome's young child… 1. Let’s Start Here: Are Ronnie and Jen Together? No. Accordng to Us Weekly, there was a major fight between the Jersey Shore stars on New Year’s Eve and the relationship is now over… again. 2. They Have a “Volatile” Romance So says this Us Weekly insider, stating the obvious and adding in slightly more detail: “They broke up before New Year’s Eve, got back together right before then and got in a big fight on Monday night. They’re currently broken up. But it’s the same story every time: They are together, they fight, they break up and then get back together.” 3. This Photo Was Taken Just Days Before the Latest Blow-Up Appearances can be deceiving, though, we guess. We just feel awful for the kids at the center of this messy relationship, Jen’s son from a previous hook-up and Ronnie and Jen’s daughter, Ariana. 4. So… What Happened After This Split? Relatively normal stuff at first, such as Ronnie deleting all traces of Jen from his Instagram account. 5. He Also Echoed the Sentiment of a Harley Critic In response to a photo of Ariana, some Internet user wrote, “She is amazing. Hope she doesn’t grow up to act like her mother.” Ronnie then Liked this comment. 6. But Then More Accusations Flew on Both Sides Jen, for example, claims that Ronnie ransacked the couple’s Las Vegas home. She called police to the scene, alleging her angry ex broke many items in the residence. It’s true: Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department responded to a residence at about 3:23 a.m. on New Year’s Day concerning a burglary call. View Slideshow
