It was announced last month that the FOX series would be renewed for the final season that’s set to premiere this fall. Viewers haven’t seen much of Jussie on the show since he has been accused of staging a racist and homophobic attack back in January. He was cut from the final episodes of the fifth season.

We all know how much Paris Jackson hates fake news about her life, so we hope that she’ll appreciate coverage of her own words. Some bizarre non-fan tried to shame Paris for using marijuana, of all things, claiming that her late father would be “ashamed” of her. Paris hit back, not with fury, but with education. This all started when the stunning model tweeted about her creative food choices. “i make spaghetti grilled cheese sandwiches with mozerella,” Paris Jackson tweeted. “BOMB!” Fans marveled at the idea of that, and some asked how she had come up with such an inventive dish. Paris replied: “m a r i j u a n a.” Yeah, that 100% fits. A bizarre social media account that’s a hodgepodge of positive posts and negative attacks took issue with Paris’ offhand reply. “Druggie,” the hater accused. “I bet you do meth too.” “Your dad must be ashamed of you,” the hateful troll wrote, then labeling Paris a “Degenerate.” Paris hit back against that vicious attack. “Because an organic medicinal plant from mother earth with dozens of healing properties that is legal where i live,” Paris began. She continued: “and used to help suffering people around the world = meth.” Marijuana has numerous medicinal properties, is finally legal in numerous states, and is very nearly the opposite of meth. Paris followed up, writing that she uses marijuana “instead of taking poisonous addictive pharmaceuticals.” “This incredible medicine from the earth has been prescribed to me,” Paris wrote. She says that its purpose is “to help with my depression, anxiety, ptsd, and insomnia.” Those are three classic uses for marijuana, both rpescribed medical marijuana and that used as self-medication in places where it is still prohibited. Strangely, the nasty troll who attacked Paris showed, in subsequent tweets, a knowledge of her past mental health struggles. You would think that such a person would be perfectly aware that this medication can help her stay healthy and alive. We think that this troll was just looking for negative attention by spewing hateful attacks — this person also hurled vitriol at the LGBTQ+ community. The only really surprising part of this person’s attacks was their apparent unawareness that Paris uses marijuana. It’s … not new information. That said, like most people who spend their time attacking innocent strangers on the internet, this person likely has personal or even mental issues beyond their control. Paris also shot down people’s suspicions that her late father would disapprove. “He actually didn’t have a problem with [cannabis use],” Paris informed one follower. “I didn’t [use cannabis] when I was younger obvs,” she noted. “But I really doubt he would have a problem with me doing it now.” Paris added: “especially as an adult,” reminding people that she’s not a child anymore. “A very good doctor prescribed it to me,” Paris shared. “And it has helped me with my mental issues a lot, including helping me find peace.” That is wonderful news! “Well, doing it every day, dude, is clearly an issue,” she told another Twitter user, who suspected that she was a wake and bake smoker. “I don’t do it as soon as I wake up unless it’s a rare occasion.” Paris clarified. “I don’t do it when I work,” she explained. “And I don’t do it when I drive.” “It’s medicine to me and not an everyday thing,” Paris emphasized. “Even though it’s not addictive, it sounds like u were abusing it.” It really sounds like she has a good head on her shoulders, despite the hate that she so often receives.
“Nasty” is one of Donald Trump’s favorite insults. And since dude loves his put-downs more than he loves his children, that’s really saying something. His romance with the term famously began when he referred to Hillary Clinton as a “nasty woman” during those presidential debates that were funny at the time because no one thought he had a shot in hell of actually winning. Trump trotted out that beloved jibe again this week when he responded to reports that Meghan Markle was aware of his obvious misogyny by saying, ” I didn’t know she was nasty .” That’s an acceptable remark if you just watched a 1986 Janet Jackson video, but it’s weird and offensive in literally every other context. So it should come as no surprise that Meghan has not been on hand for any portion of Trump’s official state visit to the UK. And just in case he still didn’t get the message, Prince Harry reportedly snubbed Trump during a private lunch with the Queen on Tuesday. Now, we’re probably not gonna carpet bomb London over this, but it’s still a pretty big deal. After all, every president since Harry S. Truman has visited the UK, and our friends across the pond have never been forced to endure such awkwardness before. When you’ve been out-charmed by Richard f–king Nixon, you know there’s a serious problem. In an effort to smooth over relations, Trump sat down with the British media’s most famous set of quivering jowls, Piers Morgan: “They said some of the things that she said and it’s actually on tape,” he told Morgan with regard to Meghan’s comments. “And I said: ‘Well, I didn’t know she was nasty.’ I wasn’t referring to she’s nasty. I said she was nasty about me. And essentially I didn’t know she was nasty about me.” Yes, the Donald is in damage control mode, and he’s engaging in some serious back-pedaling. Trump added that Meghan is “doing a good job” and he continued to offer up awkward attempts at flattery as only he can (dude is so much better at insults): “I hope she enjoys her life,” he added. “I think she’s very nice.” Coming from a guy who seems to have never enjoyed a single day of his life despite getting literally everything he wants, we guess that means a lot. Of course, that’s not the only asinine drivel that spewed forth from our president’s mouth during his chat with the UK’s equivalent of Rush Limbaugh’s colon polyps. Asked about the draft dodging that allowed him to escape Vietnam service, Trump remarked, “I think I make up for it now.” He also suggested that transgender US troops might be hatching an elaborate plan to force the military into paying for their reassignment surgeries. But that’s just the sort of reactionary bigoted nonsense we’ve sadly grown accustomed to at this point. Such a nasty president.

And, with that, it’s over. Both the latest season of Little People, Big World and the one major debate that hung over the past several episodes of this TLC reality show. Would Amy and Matt Roloff sell their family farm? Would the latter convince the former that this was for the best? Or would the former successfully hold out and hold on to the property? On Tuesday’s concluding episode of Little People, Big World, Amy finally decided – after lengthy, frustrating and at times anger-filled negotiations with her ex-husband – that living on the farm was no longer “healthy” for her. She agreed to move on. “This has been a huge, huge decision, and it’s probably caused me a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety and a lot of sadness,” Amy confessed to the camera on Tuesday night ahead of her meeting with Matt, adding: “It was hard to get to this place, but I think it’s time.” Does she really, though? “I’ve been dreading making this decision,” the mother of four continued. “I wish it came a lot quicker, but it didn’t. And so I did take the time. It wasn’t easy for me, but I’m glad it’s here now.” Amy and Matt have lived on the farm in Oregon and run it as a business for three decades. Even after their divorce in 2016, they remained on the propery; residing just about 100 yards from each other and still working side by side. So of course this was a monumental decision for Amy. Of course she needed to take her time in making it. We really can’t believe fans gave her a hard time for thinking about the issue from all sides. Matt explained on the finale that he wanted Amy to still feel welcome on the farm — and he hoped she would be part of pumpkin season every year. However, he also agreed that Amy moving on would be best for their family as a whole. “I’m a little surprised Amy is choosing to sell her equity of the farm, but you know, it feels like it might be the right decision,” he told the camera. “I know it’s hard for her; it’s hard for both of us and she’s been raising her kids here for 30 years, but I do think it feels like it’s time to move on.” For his part, Matt referred to farm ownership as a “burden” earlier this season… and he also bought a home in Arizona with girlfriend Caryn Chandler last year. After all these years on the land, he’s expressed little hesitancy in doing something else with his life. “I don’t think any decision was really a good one. I think it’s the best one, not only for right now, but I think in the future for me,” Amy said of why she has finally sold, making it clear she isn’t exactly thrilled with the development. On the finale, she added of her decision: “This farm worked for me because we had two people making it happen. I can’t do it on my own. Everything for me has changed on the farm.” How did Zach Roloff feel about this conclusion? It didn’t come as much of a shock to him, not after the many weeks his mother spent contemplating what to do. Watch Little People, Big World Season 14 Episode 10 Online This is what he said once the decision to sell was finalized: “I think probably that’s the best choice. It will be harsh and quick, but then the road to recovery, I think will happen faster.” According to Radar Online, however, Oregon property records show both Matt and Amy’s names remain on the deed of the house. So we’re not entirely sure where things stand at the moment, months after the finale was filmed.

Jenelle Evans is out. And Jade Cline is in. MTV has formally announced Cline as a new cast member on Teen Mom 2, doing so by having her sit and chat with a number of veteran network stars. How did she find out about this role? What sort of drama will she be stirring up? The new addition sat with veterans Catelynn, Tyler and Kailyn to discuss these questions and many more on the Teen Mom 2 reunion special that aired on June 3. During a unique segment, she actually chatted with these stars as part of Kailyn's Coffee Convos podcast, a portion of which was recorded by MTV and we've featured here. During the interview, Cline said she was kept in the dark for awhile in regard to her status on Teen Mom 2… … until her old producer from Young and Pregnant dropped the awesome bombshell right in her lap. “They said, ‘We love you, we love your story so much, we want you to be on ‘Teen Mom 2’ and I was like, I didn’t know what to say. I was like, ‘I feel so wanted and popular!’” Jade explained, adding: “The show has been on so long that I can’t believe they would want me on a show that’s been on for like 10 years with the same people.” One of those people, of course, is now a goner. Evans is off fighting for custody of her kids, not talking about storylines for next season. Cline, meanwhile, ought to bring a whole lot to the table: Her father committed suicide when she was very young. Her mom has been arrested for drug use and possession. Cline was removed by Child Protection Services as a teenager and has been living on her own since the age of 16. “I’ve been out of my parents’ house since I was 16 years old,” she says in this footage. “I’ve been on my own for six or seven years, so I feel like I didn’t vibe with anyone or talk with [the Young and Pregnant cast members] as much just because I was just somewhere else mentally.” As we said, Jade's biological father is dead — and her stepfather is basically dead to her . “Both of my parents were just incarcerated this last week,” she shared with Kailyn and her co-host Lindsie Chrisley. “They've been strung out for so long. They're like binge addicts.” You can read more about Cline's many secrets and struggles here: And you can watch her discuss all things Teen Mom 2 related, included her upcoming role on the series, in this video.
