Bristol Palin: DONE With Teen Mom OG? Demanding Her Own Show?!

It's only been two months since Bristol Palin joined the cast of Teen Mom: OG , but it seems the daughter of former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is already looking to move on from the show. We suppose it shouldn't come as a huge shock that Bristol doesn't feel much in the way of loyalty toward her employers, given that her mother just up and quit being in charge of a whole ginormous state in the middle of a term. It seems the apple really didn't fall far from the tree in this case, and like her famous mom, Bristol believes she's destined for TV mega-stardom. Of course, it's anyone's guess as to why she thinks that, as thus far audiences have been as indifferent toward Bristol as they are toward Sarah. The Palins seem to have a distorted view of just how fascinating the rest of the world finds them, and in Bristol's case, that egomania is resulting in some intense conflicts with her Teen Mom bosses and co-stars … 1. Back In Action After spending some time away from the spotlight, Bristol is returning to public life in a huge way — with a starring role on one of TV’s most popular reality shows. 2. Big Shoes to Fill When the time came to replace Farrah Abraham, TMOG producers reportedly felt pressured to do something big. 3. Times Have Changed The original girls (the OGs, if you will) were unknowns when the show started, but now they’re full-blown stars with millions of social media followers. Unless the new additions to the case existed on a similar plane of popularity, they would likely be viewed as disappointments. 4. All-Star Casting So it was that Morgan J. Freeman and company focused on two established talents — The Challenge star Cheyenne Floyd, and Bristol Palin, who was once the most famous teen mom in the country. 5. Big Bucks Bristol Production insiders say Bristol is already being paid more than any of her co-stars, and it looks as thought the investment is not paying off for producers. 6. A Little Late What the top brass at MTV failed to consider is that Bristol’s fame peaked ten years ago, a time when much of the current TMOG audience was in elementary school, and thus, generally indifferent toward matters of national politics.

That was very easy to do because he is so kind and so loving. He’s a brilliant filmmaker and I just wanted to give everything I had to him in this film.” Dave chimes in about how much he enjoys Bradley Cooper’s directing style. “The way he directed me and the way we would talk about the scene, and the way he would create an environment that gave me the courage to actually be vulnerable in a way that comedy would never let me be.

Tiffany Haddish Had This Classy Response To Katt Williams’ Comments That She Doesn’t Deserve Her Success

Source: Jason LaVeris / Getty Tiffany Haddish knows how to keep it classy even when she’s clapping back at folks who disrespect her. Earlier this week on the on the  V-103’s Frank and Wanda In The Morning Show, Katt Williams had words about the “Night School” actress claiming that she doesn’t deserve the spotlight she’s been given over comics such as  Mo’Nique. To make matters worse, he also referred to her genitalia as a “diseased vajayjay.” While, Williams tried it, thankfully Haddish finished it. On Friday (Sep. 14), Haddish to took to Twitter, sharing the clip of Williams badmouthing her, saying the following: “It’s official I made it!@KattPackAllDay talked about me and didn’t have his facts right! # Iwin # sheready I look forward to seeing you on Monday Katt, when we pick up our Emmys. I just want to shower you with REAL Love cause you need it, and I Love you .” It’s official I made it!@KattPackAllDay talked about me and didn’t have his facts right! #Iwin #sheready I look forward to seeing you on Monday Katt, when we pick up our Emmys. I just want to shower you with REAL Love cause you need it, and I Love you https://t.co/WVOgZvwLZn — Tiffany Haddish (@TiffanyHaddish) September 14, 2018 In case you need a refresher, here’s what Williams said about his co-Emmy winner. “She’s been doing comedy since she was 16. You can’t tell me your favorite Tiffany Haddish joke. Why? Because she ain’t done a tour yet. She ain’t done a special. She has not proven the ability to tell jokes back to back for an hour to nobody,” Williams said. He added, “They like her because she wanna sleep with a white man. That’s why the only thing she said was I wanna give it to Brad Pitt. She said she’s got a diseased vajayjay ain’t nobody checking for that.” Sadly, Haddish wasn’t the only one who Williams attacked. He had a lot to say about a slew of upcoming Black comedians such as  Jerrod Carmichael , Lil Rel , Kevin Hart  and  Hannibal Buress . “They’re going to let you do your special, Jerrod Carmichael, but nobody’s gonna watch it. They’re gonna let you be a star, Lil Rel, but you’re ugly and white people don’t believe in ugly stars. They believe that you have to be somebody women want to sleep with and men want to be, but because we’re black they say ‘oh you don’t even deserve that.’ So we get Kevin Hart, Lil Rel, Jerrod Carmichael, Hannibal Burress, just dudes that no woman would talk to in Lennox Mall, but you’re making them superstars because you know ain’t nobody gonna sleep with them.” Sigh. Why can’t we all just get along?

What Kind Of F*ckery Is This?: Pilot Crashes A Plane Into His House In An Attempt To Kill His Wife

Here is the original post:

Source: Nazir Azhari Bin Mohd Anis / EyeEm / Getty You’ve probably never heard a story this crazy in your entire life. A man in Utah tried to kill his wife by crashing a plane into his own house. The crash happened early Monday morning, one night after Duane Youd, 47, was arrested for domestic assault allegations in American Fork Canyon in Utah. According to Payson Police Department spokeswoman Sgt. Noemi Sandoval, “They had been drinking and an argument broke out and he started hitting her and some witnesses called in to police to say a guy was hitting a woman.” Youd was released from jail just a few hours later and asked cops if he could go back to his home to retrieve his belongings. He was allowed to do so and no further incidents occurred. At some point, Youd, who was a corporate pilot for the company Van Con, goes from his home to an airport in Springville. There he managed to steal a twin-engine Cessna Citation 525 airplane. This is where things get crazy. Youd steals the small plane and proceeds to fly it into the front of the house where his wife, Sandy Youd, and 24-year-old son, Collin McNeal, were asleep. Prior to stealing the plane, Youd called his other children and told them to “go stay at their mother’s house” instead. “The next thing I know, a huge crash into the house and then there was an explosion,” said Sandy Youd. “This was completely unexpected.” “I couldn’t come out the front door. It was all engulfed in flames, so I ran out the side and through the garage. I didn’t know where my son was,” she added. Youd died but his wife and son escaped unharmed. “I don’t know how I got out. I ran down the stairs through the front door,” said McNeal. “All I remember is seeing fire and then being on the street.” According to Sandy Youd, at first she didn’t realize it was a plane that had struck her home but once she escaped and saw the tail of the plane, she knew it was her husband, Duane Youd, who many referred to as “Red.” “I knew right away it was Red. I knew it was him immediately,” she said. She also goes on to say that through it all, she still loves him. “I love him, I miss him, I still can’t believe he’s not here,” Youd said. They should consider making this into some kind of movie. People are really crazy out here!

John-David Duggar and Abbie Grace Burnett: They… Are… Courting!

John-David Duggar has apparently come out of the closet. No, not like that . You do know which famous family he’s a part of, right? Last summer, though, we EXCLUSIVELY reported that John-David was involved in a secret courtship . That may or may not have been the case at the time. But now this Counting On cast member has gone public with a verified courtship, confirming to Us Weekly that he has taken this very, very serious step with Abbie Grace Burnett. “Abbie and I are just so excited, we’ve known of each other for several years,” the 28-year-old told the aforementioned tabloid of this relationship, adding: “We fell in love very quickly and it’s been a wonderful journey thus far.” This exciting piece of news comes about two years after Jinger Duggar sort of claimed that her brother was involved with some other woman, as questions about John-David’s love life have been plaguing the Internet for a long time now. The guy is 28 years old after all. That’s like retirement age for the Duggars in terms of courting, marrying and then having many babies. He’s fallen way behind already! This comes as little surprise to anyone familiar with John-David, as he’s considered the most quiet of almost all Duggars and perhaps the one least interested in the spotlight. John-David is Michelle and Jim Bob’s second-oldest son, the twin brother of fan favorite Jana Duggar… yet you probably know very little about him. He works as a pilot, firefighter and sheriff’s deputy and he sometimes clashes with his conversation/controlling father. There’s even been talk that Duggar may walk away from reality television entirely ! Abbie, who is 26, says the following to Us Weekly about when her love first bloomed for this reluctant TLC cast member: “John flew in for a church event here in Oklahoma where I’m from. We really got connected then.” Well… okay then! We see that she is a woman of few words. No wonder these two get along so well! According to the now-defunct BurnettFamily10 blog that was once run by Burnett’s family, Abbie had seven siblings as of 2010, including a brother whose hyphenated name is strikingly similar to that of her future husband. On the archived “About” section of this since-deleted blog, her siblings are listed as John-Clay, Hannah, Caleb, Charity, twins Maggie and Carinna and Benjamin. And according to the TLC website, Abbie works as a nurse, which makes her a perfect match for volunteer first responder John-David. She also resides in Oklahoma, while John-David lives in Arkansas with his family. We wonder where they will live if they get married. “Big news! #JohnDavidDuggar has a special someone,” wrote TLC on its official Instagram account this week, adding as a tease: “Visit TLCme.com to meet the happy couple, and learn more about #AbbieBurnett.” Wow. She has her own hashtag. This really must be serious! John-David one quipped that he’ll be a “bachelor until the rapture,” so he truly must have intense feelings for Abbie. Or he must feel intense pressure from his loved ones. Either way… best of luck to the new and official couple! View Slideshow: Duggar Family Courtship Application: Revealed!

Dannielynn Birkhead: Anna Nicole Smith’s Daughter Makes Rare Public Appearance

The Kentucky Derby was held at Churchill Downs over the weekend, and as usual, many of Hollywood’s best and brightest made the trip to Louisville. For most of the celebrity attendees, the Derby was just one of many high-profile red carpet events on their calendar for 2018, but for one famous name, this is the social highlight of the year: The family of Anna Nicole Smith’s daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, generally tries to keep the 11-year-old out of the spotlight as much as possible. But on the first Saturday of every May, equestrian enthusiast Dannielynn dresses to the nines and steps out with her father, Larry Birkhead. Larry tweeted the above photo on Saturday along with the following caption: “Celebrating the Kentucky Derby with Dannielynn,” he wrote. “Rain won’t spoil our awesome Derby day! #halfwaycooldad.” Birkhead also shared the above photo from a Derby after-party, noting that there’s a special poignancy to the event: “Dannielynn before she raided the dessert room at the Barnstable-Brown Party where I met her Mom in 2003,” Larry captioned the pic, adding the hashtags: “#lifefullcircle #BarnstableBrownParty.” Though her mother died of a drug overdose when Dannielynn was just 5 months, she and her father often pay tribute to Anna Nicole , so as to ensure that the young girl always feels a connection to the late model. In February of 2016, Larry memorably shared a letter that Dannielynn had written him during a candid 20/20 interview: “Ever since my mother’s death, a friend of hers said she would send me pretty butterflies,” Dannielynn wrote. “So, butterflies chase me everywhere and I let the butterfly come out of my pencil and fly on my paper with its wings of love.” In the past, Larry has been accused of exploiting Anna Nicole’s death to boost his public profile, but these days, it seems he’s devoting most of his time and attention to his daughter. Despite her often tumultuous upbringing, Dannielynn seems remarkable well-adjusted, and those who know the girl say she shares her mother’s ability to light up a room. Here’s hoping Larry continues to mostly keep Dannielynn from the spotlight, for her sake. View Slideshow: 22 Celebrities Who Died from an Overdose
