Mackenzie Edwards is really trying, you guys. She’s trying to act all happy and normal and content with her life, even though one rather important person being missing from it. We speak, of course, about husband Ryan Edwards. Who is in prison. The former Teen Mom star has been behind bars for several weeks now, ever since his latest arrest for drug possession. He’ll be stuck behind bars until at least April , but all indications point to Mackenzie remaining by Ryan’s side despite his numerous run-ins with the law. Various insiders have said she won’t file for divorce or leave him — and now Mackenzie herself has basically confirmed this chatter. In honor of the holiday that falls on February 14 each year, the abandoned new mother shared the following photo on her Instagram story yesterday: “Happy Valentine’s Day,” Mackenzie wrote as a caption to the image, which features a bouquet of flowers, along with a photo of her and Ryan and Ryan and his son, Bentley, alongside the pink roses. It’s actually a really sad image. Poor Mackenzie was all alone on Valentine’s Day because her husband has a major drug problem. That’s pretty depressing. Edwards spent 90 days in rehab after he got arrested in the summer of 2018. He missed the birth of his son with Mackenzie as a result, but returned home around Thanksgiving, presumably a new and improved man. The photo shared at the top of this article was snapped in December, prior to Ryan’s latest arrest, when it seemed as if he’d be a dedicated husband to Mackenzie and father to his two kids. Alas, it didn’t take long for multiple rumors to make their way around the Internet. He allegedly signed up for Tinder within weeks of geting out of rehab, and allegedly asked a woman he met on that dating service for cocaine . Then, in January, Edwards was arrested for heroin possession and for theft after he left a restaurant without paying his tab. By our estimation, this marked the third time Edwards was arrested on a drug-related charge. You can learn the details of what transpired here: View Slideshow: Ryan Edwards Arrest Details: He Drank (6 Whiskeys!), He Dashed, He Got Caught, He is F–ked [UPDATED] Edwards appeared in court on Monday, January 28 for these, with a law clerk telling Radar Online: “The case has been continued to April 15, 2019. He’s going to serve time in county jail until then.” Mackenzie, however, isn’t prepared to ditch her law-breaking, drug-addicted husband. “This is devastating for Mackenzie, to have Ryan locked up again and away form her and the kids is almost too much to handle,” a source previously told Hollywood Life, expounding: “You have to understand how hard this all is on her though. Believe me, a part of her wants to just lay down in bed and stay there.” But she did partially know what she was signing up for when she started to date Ryan and she does have children to worry about and, look, the heart wants what the heart wants. “She has no plans to leave Ryan,” this same insider insists. “She is standing by him and believes that they will overcome this together” because “she has young children to remain strong for and that is what is keeping her going.” Fair enough. Maybe even admirable. For all the mockery Ryan often receives online, the guy is a father of two and clearly has a significant problem. We really do hope he gets help.
When the world first learned that Tristan Thompson had been caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian , it was widely assumed that she would promptly kick his philandering ass to the curb. After all, Khloe has long enjoyed a reputation as the most headstrong Kardashian, and she’s typically not one to broker any BS, particularly from the men she dates. But to the surprise of millions who admire Khloe for her boldness, the 34-year-old decided to give Tristan a second chance. And for a while there, it looked as though the relationship might actually work. Tristan moved to LA during the NBA offseason so that he could be closer to Khloe and baby True. And throughout that time, Khloe regularly posted “happy family” photos in which she and Tristan could be seen smiling alongside their bundle of joy. But once Tristan returned to Cleveland to rejoin the Cavs, things seemed to change abruptly. These days, Tristan makes very few appearances on Khloe’s Instagram page, and insiders say there’s good reason for that. According to a new report from People magazine, Khloe “rarely talks about” Tristan these days, and it doesn’t seem especially concerned with what — or who — he might be doing. “Khloe and True are happy in Los Angeles. They spend very little time in Cleveland, where Tristan is,” a source tells the magazine. “She very much acts like a single mom.” Yes, it sounds as though Khloe hasn’t officially pulled the plug on her relationship — but she’s no longer actively dating Tristan. Fortunately, it also seems that she’s not terribly upset about the situation. Insiders say Khloe tried to make the relationship work primarily for her daughter’s sake. These days, however, True is her whole world, and she’s perfectly happy devoting all of her time to attending to the 1-year-old’s needs. “Her whole life is True,” the source says. “Khloé is a great mom. It’s so obvious how much she loves being a mom,” the insider adds. “She likes that True is a bit older now — they attend classes with other babies True’s age and Khloé is making sure she has friends.” Amazingly, it seems like this situation may have worked out well for everyone involved. Khloe got the baby she always wanted; Tristan gets to be a part of his daughter’s life while still partying with groupies every night — and True doesn’t have to deal with constant bickering from parents who stayed together for her sake.

Tyler Baltierra just learned the hard way: You really can’t have fun on the Internet. Not even when you joke about all the strangers out there who fantasize about riding your joystick in bed. Confused? Allow us to explain… The veteran Teen Mom OG cast member turned a few heads of his Twitter earlier this month when he retweeted someone who had tagged him in a rather X-rated message. It read as follows: “Last night I had a sex dream about [Tyler Baltierra] yeah… so there’s that revelation.” Weird and random, but whatever, right? It’s still flattering! And Tyler basically responded as such. “Dude I swear, I see posts from people about having sex dreams with me at least once a day hahaha!” he Tweeted. “Apparently I’ve been getting around in the dreamworld.” This seems like a totally normal and harmless response. But try telling that to some folks on the World Wide Web. “This is so inappropriate, as a married man to post,” wrote one troll, somehow thinking Tyler was betraying wife Catelynn by simply noting that a bunch of folks out there evidently fantasize about his naked body. Tyler snapped back at this individual as follows: I told @CatelynnLowell about it & you will NEVER believe what she did!? She laughed her ass off! I know, I know, it’s gotta be shocking to everyone that we can joke with each other about such “sensitive” issues lol! Especially as sensitive as one’s inability to control dreams. Well said, dude. This was/is perhaps a sensitive topic for Tyler because he recently requested a 30-day break from his marriage. Many people interpreted this as meaning Tyler wanted to sleep around, prompting an angry reply from Baltierra. “When you say ‘separation,’ everyone’s like, ‘Oh my god, a separation?” It’s not like we’re seeing other people or we’re not talking at all or not spending time with each other,” Tyler previously told Us Weekly about his quasi, temporary split from Catelynn. Tyler’s own father actually asked his son a short while ago when he wanted to take a hiatus because he wanted to have sex with a new woman. And this belief clearly bothers Tyler a lot. “The main goal is to stay with my wife and live this life,” Tyler insisted in this same Us Weekly interview. He added at the time: “We love each other. It’s crazy because when you do grow up with each other, no one can really understand the bond. There is no explanation for it. “It’s hard for people like my dad, who’s been in prison his whole life and never really had a serious adult relationship, to relate. It’s different.” Thankfully, Tyler will soon have something gorgeous and miraculous to distract him from annoying people such as the one above on Twitter: He and Catelynn are welcoming a little girl soon. Like, VERY soon, according to Catelynn . We can’t wait! View Slideshow: Tyler Baltierra Accused of Cheating on Catelynn Lowell With a Man [Exclusive]
Just four months after their wedding, and just hours before their return to television on a new season of Counting On , Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson have shared some very sad news with their fans. It’s almost the saddest news they could possibly share. The news is this: Lauren suffered a miscarriage in October. “A couple months ago, we found out that we were expecting, but suddenly thereafter, we lost our baby,” Swanson explains in a clip released Monday morning from tonight’s Counting On premiere. Adds Josiah in this sneak peek: “It really was a hard time for our family going through this right after we got married. And all the dreams of getting to see our little one and hold it in our hands dashed before our eyes.” We can’t imagine anything more devastating. And we appreciate the couple being so candid about such a difficult topic. “Lauren and I were actually preparing for a trip to go to a friend’s wedding over the weekend. She started feeling really sick and started noticing some different things,” Josiah expounds on the premiere. Lauren, for her part, thought it was a dietary problem at first. “I wasn’t feeling well,” she says. “I was cramping really, really bad, which was quite strange because I normally don’t. I was thinking I had something with gluten in it.” She then discovered the tragic truth, continuing as follows while retelling this story: “It was late at night and I went to the restroom, and right there was the baby. Gone. I couldn’t believe it, and I was hoping it wasn’t true.” Fans have been speculating about Swanson’s status for months, which makes this even more poignant — and which also ought to serve as a reminder. You really should never ask a woman if she’s expecting or wonder when she might be in some public forum. Because you simplynever know what someone is going through. The couple, meanwhile, got married on June 30, 2018 at John Brown University Cathedral of the Ozarks in Siloam Springs, Arkansas; only seven months or so after they started courting. But things often move quickly in the romance department for members of this family. Said Josiah in a statement last March: “Lauren and I are engaged! This is an exciting big step in our lives and the whole thing was very meaningful. “The place where I proposed to Lauren is the exact spot where her parents were engaged. There’s a lot of family history on this property making it a special place for Lauren.” TLC actually aired footage of the proposal , too. Fast forward just a few months after this question-popping and Lauren and Josiah shared their first kiss. Not just as husband and wife, but their first kiss EVER, as depicted below: View Slideshow: Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson Wedding Pics: See Their First Kiss… EVER! This past Thursday, the couple uploaded a sweet snapshot of them smiling and kissing in Orlando, making it evident to followers that they’re trying their best to move on from this tragedy. “How did I ever get someone as special as you,” wrote Duggar as a caption to the image.

While there's never any shortage of drama on The Real Housewives of Atlanta , this is a new one. New footage hints at NeNe Leakes flipping out, screaming, and even going after the camera crew. An accompanying report says that the meltdown was so much worse than the footage revealed. The Real Housewives of Atlanta has a new trailer that teases the rest of the season. After a lot of laughs and fun, things turn serious. NeNe can be seen breaking down into tears, in part over Gregg's cancer diagnosis . She also gets into what can best be described as a screaming match with Marlo Hampton. Trailers can be (deliberately) misleading, but it looked like NeNe threatened Marlo. “Let’s be clear b–ch,” NeNe can be heard yelling. “I will f–k you up.” And things from there only escalated. RadarOnline reports on the details of NeNe's epic meltdown. “NeNe completely lost it that day,” an insider reveals. And there was more than just what we saw in the video. “She was so mad and so out of control,” the source adds. The insider continues: “that she dragged the camera crew out of her house.” What?! We saw a half-second of NeNe appearing to attack, or at least tug on, camera people. But apparently she booted them out of the house in a fit of fury. “NeNe made the whole crew leave,” the source says. The insider said that she banished “the camera guys and the producers.” “She threw them out,” adds the source. Elsewhere in the trailer, we see NeNe trash-talking Eva Marcille and Eva's home. RadarOnline 's inside source elaborates on that. “NeNe and Eva had an epic fight,” the insider reports. The source semi-praises: “Eva really knows how to bring the drama.” That really goes with the territory of being a reality star — especially a Real Housewife. People do not always respond well or with dignity to stress, and cameras can be a contributor to anxiety. It may be that it all became too much for NeNe, and she just snapped. We are reminded of Marguerite Perrin, the infamous “God Warrior” from Trading Spouses . After days and days of culture shock as she lived in a household with different beliefs than her own, she flipped out. She delivered a meme-worthy rant and drove the camera people from her home. Is this like what happened to NeNe? It's possible that NeNe was emotionally overwhelmed. But it's also possible that NeNe dialed up the drama in true Fake Housewives fashion. She doesn't make her massive salary purely because her facial expressions are intensely meme-worthy. (That's probably part of it, though) She knows how and when to bring explosive drama and she's developed a sense for when a feud can be blown out of proportion. At least, we hope that this is the case. We'd hate to think that NeNe had really lost her entire mind.
Source: Bennett Raglin/BET / Getty Despite the fact that Jussie Smollett squashed the rumors that he made up his attack, folks like Joe Budden seem to remain skeptical. The rapper and reality star shared his thoughts about the “Empire” actors alleged hate crime on a recent episode of his podcast “ State Of The Culture.” He opened with going over the news about his attack. “[He] was allegedly brutally attacked recently in Chicago by ‘MAGA terrorists.’ They broke his ribs, they put a noose about his neck, they poured bleach on him and called him derogatory names. The FBI is on the case now but it has confirmed that a letter was previously sent to a FOX studio that contained threatening language and a powdery substance said to be Tylenol.” According to Hip New Hop News , while his co-hosts attempted to make the point that since President Trump has been elected that has been an uptick in hate and bias crimes committed over the years. “Why can’t we trust that there is black pain, that that has happened?” – @ScottieBeam responds to @JoeBudden ’s speculations of what happened to Jussie Smollett. #SOTC pic.twitter.com/93bOXSjwy1 — StateofTheCulture (@StateofCulture) February 6, 2019 Yet, Budden, who has been accused of domestic violence himself, refuses to believe Jussie’s version because he cannot fathom the idea that any Black man could wear a noose on his neck for 45 minutes after being attacked. The 38-year-old also made fun of the threatening letter allegedly sent to FOX saying it looked “like some bulls**t I saw in Austin Powers.” While Budden says that he believes that Jussie was attacked, he isn’t sold on the idea that it was a hate crime. “Famous rich people, when bad things happen and they want to cover the story because famous people to fuck shit sometimes like humans,” Joe stressed. “You cover the story to protect your image, your likeness and your career.” He concluded that Jussie may be preying on the emotions of the community to garner support and sympathy. “I’m waiting for footage. Just show me footage and I’ll shut the fuck up,” he said. Not surprisingly, some of Budden’s fans agreed with him, believing that Jussie’s story isn’t adding up: Man Joe Budden bust this Jussie Smollett story wise open. @theeonlyme and I been saying that something was off about it — ShaQuann (@MissShaLeJoan) February 2, 2019 Im glad that I’m not the only one who thinks Jussie is lying @JoeBudden pic.twitter.com/3vDTCdXbzp — sammiesopinion (@sammiesopinion) February 2, 2019 i cant wait til the truths comes out and the whole world has to say @JoeBudden was right about this nigga #Jussie Story and he just got beat up over Dick. ctfu — chucktheworld_ (@ChuckTheWorld_) February 6, 2019 However, there were also people who disagreed with Budden, asking their own questions about why folks are so quick to invalidate the pain Black LGBTQ folks face: Soooo #JoeBudden doesn’t believe Jussie was attacked.. Why LGBT Black men pain and experiences can never be acknowledged and validated. Is it not that valuable to us? God for bid this was Andy Cohen or Anderson Cooper no one would even question the story. — Petty J. Blige (@FxckgirlBri) February 5, 2019 There’s no reason for Jussie to lie. pic.twitter.com/zzi1coKT6H — Auntie Fan4ever (@1Truvet) February 5, 2019 Joe Budden needs to be cancelled for being out here questioning the authenticity of Jussie Smollett’s attack….. #alwaysurown pic.twitter.com/LpY0yj85tX — itstheCoConutWater (@DivaHoneyPri) February 6, 2019 Wow! Just wow! What is sad is that now in this day and age you need some mf receipts to prove you was attacked. Back then ya word was good enough and the family would be ready to go whoop whoever ass. Now we have show footage that he was beat to believe him? TF! #TheAudacity — TheChattyBlogger (@DaChattyBlogger) February 6, 2019 Budden isn’t the only Black celeb to publicly question the validity of Jussie’s attack. Recently, Azealia Banks posted on social media that this is nothing but “propaganda.” “Sorry…this is all promotion for the next season of empire/propaganda to make sure black for the DNC next go round,” she wrote in her IG Stories. “Loads of black people didn’t vote at all in the 2016 election which worked in Trump’s favor.” Girl, huh. Meanwhile, the Chicago Police Department are still looking for the two men involved in the attack.

Most people roll their eyes and make fun of Danielle Bregoli’s obnoxious and offensive behavior, but not Nick Cannon. Cannon surprisingly stuck up for the 15-year-old on the Wendy Williams Show which aired on February 6. “I’m not mad at this,” he said after viewing a preview of Danielle’s new Snapchat show, Bringing Up Bhabie. The audience audibly gasped with confusion. According to Hollywood Life , Nick actually defended her even though the audience was horrified at the ‘cash me outside’ girl’s words and actions. Nick explained himself by saying, “you guys may not agree with me, but I gotta keep it real. I’d rather my daughter go in this direction than go in the Kylie Jenner direction. That’s just me… this girl [Danielle] might have a bad mouth, she needs some guidance, she needs a whoopin.” “But at the same age,” Nick added, ” Kylie Jenner was getting plastic surgery .” Called. out. Even though Nick admits he isn’t impressed by Kylie Jenner’s tendencies, he thinks the two actually have a lot in common. “She got a makeup line, [the other] got a makeup line … They’re both making money off of society’s exploitation of young girls and there are two different ways.” But Nick confesses, “If I had to choose, I would want my daughter to get on out there and be a loudmouth, and talk-then I can say…it’s about discipline and respect…but when it gets to that other world that I can’t control and because social media’s controlling everything.” He also made a joke saying he can “fix Bhad Bhabie with a ‘bhad belt,'” implying that Danielle needs a spanking, says Hollywood Life . US Weekly claps back claiming that a “bhad belt” wouldn’t “fix” anything and the only “plastic surgery” that Kylie has admitted to getting is lip injections. However, Kylie is alleged to have had a breast augmentation. And butt implants … but, again none of this has been confirmed, per Hollywood Life . Since Nick’s sub in for Wendy Williams , due to complications of her unfortunate Grave’s disease, he has been the king of shade! Bringing all the drama by calling Ariana Grande a “little pop star who doesn’t know what she wants” and also challenging Liam Neeson to a fight after his absurd racial fantasy to kill a “black bastard” about 40 years ago. This isn’t even Kylie’s first time getting called out by Nick. Just a couple weeks ago he slammed the beauty mogul for dating Travis Scott and “procreating” with him. While his fill-in has definitely been entertaining, to say the least, his time in Wendy’s chair is up. Orange Is The New Black actor Jason Briggs will guest host the show on February 7. Keke Palmer will take over on February 8. Sherri Shepherd, Michael Rapaport , and Jerry O’Connell will also take over hosting duties until Wendy returns.

On Sunday night, the New England Patriots ground and pounded their way to a 13-3 victory over the LA Rams in what’s being called the most boring Super Bowl in history. (And it’s not even snooze-worthy Maroon 5 halftime show that earned the game that dubious distinction.) As far as we know, lifelong Pats fan Ben Affleck was not in attendance at the game, but it’s not entirely clear why Beantown Bennie decided to sit this one out. Perhaps like the rest of the world, Ben realized that a Pats victory was basically a foregone conclusion. And since Affleck is newly sober, he might not have felt like getting doused in Sam Adams by a bunch of celebratory Massholes. Of course, the fact that he’s kicked the sauce isn’t the only major change in Affleck’s life in recent months. According to E! News, Ben is back together with SNL producer Lindsay Shookus ! As you may recall, Ben and Lindsay began dating back in 2017. The relationship got so serious so fast that there were rumors Ben and Lindsay were engaged . A source tells E! that Ben and Lindsay have been on and off for longer than anyone realizes (So maybe there was some truth to those rumors that he started dating Lindsay while he was still married to Jennifer Garner !), and they’ve never been able to quit one another for very long. “They’ve known each other for years and there have been other periods of time where they didn’t speak. But they always seem to end up talking again.” Ben and Lindsay broke up last year, allegedly because his drinking had once again spiraled out of control. Now, however, it seems they’re right back where they started … well, sort of. The insider claims that while Ben and Lindsay are “spending time together” (which almost certainly means hooking up), but they’re not ready to make their relationship official again just yet. It seems Affleck feels that things are going well for him for the first time in quite some time, and he doesn’t want to rock the boat with any major announcements. “Ben is in a really good place right now. Both health-wise and with his family,” another source tells E! News. “Ben has been concentrating on being a doting father and has been spending time with his kids and Jen.” Affleck is so focused on his recovery and his family that he’s reportedly stepped away from his role as Batman in the DC cinematic universe. So perhaps Ben’s new focus on stability explains why he decided to steer clear of Atlanta during Super Bowl week. Or maybe grown adult and long-suffering Buffalo Bills fan Lindsay just didn’t want to run the risk of having to watch Ben fall off the wagon and lock lips with Tom Brady, a la Bob Kraft.
