Tinder Couple: After Three Years, Watch Them Meet for the First Time!

Remember Josh and Michelle, the Tinder couple who kept a joke running for three years without meeting? After screenshots of their exchanges went viral, Tinder offered to send them on a dream date. But while they haven't gone on that date to Maui yet, the world gets to watch them meet for the very first time on video, which you can see below. Honestly? Josh and Michelle have to feel a little overwhelmed, but they are so cute and compatible and their chemistry is palpable. So, a quick refresher: Michelle and Josh attended the same university and matched on Tinder a few years ago. Josh messaged Michelle, and she didn't respond for ages, finally apologizing as if her reply had come a few hours late instead of taking much, much longer. Josh replied a couple of months later, as if he, too, had only had a momentary delay. And so it began — they'd check in every few weeks or months with another joking excuse for why they'd taken so long. Their senses of humor seemed to really match up. (The video will walk you through it) They managed to keep this going for three years before Josh finally posted screenshots of their exchanges to Twitter. The tweet went viral and the story took off. We wrote about it. And then Tinder took notice and, delighted at the free publicity and seeing an opportunity, offered them a dream date to anywhere that they wanted. It's a pretty good sign that they could agree on Maui — there are married couples who can't agree on where to go on just a regular date. Now, this video is going to be a little awkward in a couple of places, for one simple reason: Josh and Michelle are not reality stars. They're not actors. They're not celebrities. We're not used to seeing people spend this much time being interviewed like this unless they have some experience with it or always aspired to show up on camera. A lot of that awkwardness melts away when they see each other, though. Then they just seem more excited. It's almost enough to make you believe in love at first sight. (Almost) Are you ever in the position where you love ways in which society has changed and evolved and you love technology but you step back and acknowledge that certain situations are super weird? This is one of those. Like, love is beautiful and Tinder is an amazing tool. But also this feels like the premise for an episode of Black Mirror . (And not a really good episode, like “San Junipero”) So, in the video below, you'll see Josh and Michelle looking super nervous but excited. (Josh, bless him, has a lot of restless energy and keeps moving around on his stool and licking his lips — we all have nervous habits) They get asked some questions and they seem super compatible, giving similar answers if not the same ones even before they've laid eyes on each other. And once they do meet, some of that nervousness goes away. They both seem excited. They keep exchanging glances, they keep half-moving to hug after their first hug. Josh and Michelle really seem to have chemistry on camera together. Also, Josh is at least a foot taller than Michelle. Bless. Hopefully, they'll have plenty of chemistry one-on-one, too. Obviously, we have no idea where this relationship is headed. In many ways, the whole thing is a lark. But they did match on Tinder, and they're both super attractive and their interests mesh really well. Also, Josh mentions that his brother met his fiancee on Tinder. So Tinder matches are no joke. And these two are adorable .

Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin: New Divorce Drama on Teen Mom 2?!

Doesn't it feel like we've been dealing with divorce drama from Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin for years now? Maybe it's because we've seen so much of it play out on Teen Mom 2, but whatever the reason, it's been overwhelming for a while now. We know that their issues began in late 2015, after Javi blamed Kailyn for a miscarriage. After that, the timeline gets a little muddled: they've said that they legally separated that December, meaning that while Javi was deployed, they technically weren't together. But on the show, we saw them try to work out their relationship while he was overseas. It seems like even though things were over between them for a long time, they were hesitant to end things officially. After all, their divorce wasn't finalized until this past winter . When Javi came home last summer, we saw him desperate to try to make things work with Kailyn, and we saw him react poorly when she wasn't receptive to his attempts. It's all very confusing, and very sad. And with this new sneak peek from the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2, it's clear that things haven't gotten much better. In the clip, Javi drops Lincoln off at Kailyn's home after spending some time with him — by the way, Lincoln is still as adorable as ever. Javi tells her that he has to go to his lawyer's office to sign some papers, then the divorce would be official. “No turning back now,” he says. “This is it. We made it.” “Or we didn't make it,” Kailyn points out. It's clearly an awkward moment between the two of them, and Javi only makes it more awkward by going in for a kiss. Yes, after informing his soon-to-be ex-wife that their marriage is almost over forever, he thinks it's a good time for a kiss. But hey, at least it seems like they don't hate each other as much as they did last season! Then again, she's not visibly pregnant here, so who knows what these new episodes will bring. Check out Kailyn and Javi's current state of affairs in the video below:

Facebook Live: Woman Captures Video of Own Horrific Death

Live-streaming has brought about wonderful changes in our society. Unfortunately, sometimes, it allows the world to witness terrible tragedies as they're captured on video. Like this video, in which a young woman is happily singing and chattering with a friend and streaming it over Facebook Live until the deadly accident, leaving the phone recording until an emergency responder shuts it off. You can see her final moments in the video below, but you might want to brace yourselves. The young woman in the foreground is Nikol Barabasova, and she put up a lengthy Facebook Live stream while out driving with a friend. Local authorities reported that she died in this sudden and jarring crash. She was 22-years-old. Nikol's friend, shown in the other seat, is still in intensive care. Reports say that she has intensive head injuries. We have the final moments below, but the full video features a couple dozen minutes of happy chattering and singing. You know, road trip stuff. Social media is wonderful in that it allows people to broadcast their lives. One person can touch the lives of friends and family but also touch the hearts of strangers. Unfortunately, that happiness isn't fated to last. Reportedly, the vehicle was 74.5 mph in Obrnice, Czech Republic. It struck a barrier. You can see and hear Nikol and her friend respond. Nikol makes what looks like a joking “ahh” noise. We really wish that things had remained so lighthearted. She then lets out a genuine scream. Before you even realize what's happening, the car flips over. The broadcast continues, however. And there's an eerie quiet within the car. After so much video of her sounding so happy and animated … the silence is deafening. We never wanted to understand what a “deathly silence” really sounded like. Though you can still hear the window-wipers running after-the-fact. (Our video won't make you sit through minutes of that until the emergency responder ends the live-stream, though) We do think that it's important to note a few things. First of all, Nikol's Facebook Live stream doesn't seem to be in any way related to the crash. We don't know for sure all of the details yet. Local police are investigating. But blaming technology or live-streaming or Facebook Live itself would be ridiculous, even if we thought that distraction had played a role in the crash. And we don't even know that. Right now, it looks like this was just a tragedy. Sometimes, it's a simple as that. See for yourself … if you're up for it:

Kim Kardashian: I Can PROVE I Wasn’t Doing Cocaine!

When we saw this, we absolutely cracked up. (Ugh, cocaine pun not intended) Just yesterday, Kim Kardashian denied that she does coke via Twitter, all because of what some social media sleuths spotted on her Snapchat. She said, at the time, that it was just candy. Well now Kim's changed her story a bit, and she's posted a series of Snapchat videos that build up to a dramatic reveal of what Kim now says looked like cocaine. We hope that you enjoy the video below as much as we did. You're welcome. We worry when people have too many explanations for why they're innocent, you know? You usually want to find just one believable explanation and stick with it. But, first, a quick refresher: Because there's been a lot of news between yesterday and today. Kim Kardashian took to Snapchat to promote her products, because of course she did. That's who she is. After spotting what looked like two lines of a suspicious white powder reflected in the mirror behind Kim, some followers began to wonder if Kim had slipped up and shown a couple of lines of unsnorted cocaine on the countertop behind her. And the rumors spread. As you may recall, we didn't find this scenario super likely. First of all, Kris Jenner didn't raise her children to clumsily expose hard drug use to the world. Oh, they all have some minor social blunders from time to time. But of all six of her brood, only Rob Kardashian can be honestly said to be  bad at social media . And then there's Kim's general disposition. Technically, yes, she's maybe  dabbled at smoking weed  in the past. But she's now a married mother of two. And she also claims to not even like the taste of alcohol. (She probably needs to order some tastier drinks, but whatever) Kim caught wind of the rumor, and yesterday she tweeted out her denial, and claimed that what appeared to be white powder was candy. She even named the candy store — Dylan's Candy Shop. But it was later, in her Snapchat videos, that she walks people through  “Okay, guys, I just got back to my hotel room, and look at this table: Same position — it is still there!” She is, of course, referring to the pair of white streaks that look an awful lot like a suspicious white powder. After some gentle parenting, Kim holds up evidence that she really did go to Dylan's Candy Shop. “So, we did go to Dylan's Candy Shop. I did think that it was our pixie sticks.” Note that past tense — she now has a new explanation. (Anyone else getting flashbacks of that one weirdo in middle school who would try to snort pixie sticks? What a waste of sugar) The next part zooms in on Kim's proposed explanation. But you know what? We don't want to spoil the surprise. For the record, even though she changed her story, we totally believe her. (After seeing this, we realize that if they ever reboot Matlock , Kim would be an amazingly inspired casting choice for the titular character) But this whole thing is super funny. We hope that you get a laugh out if it, because we sure did. And it sounds like Kim did, too.

Nicky Hilton: ALREADY Pregnant with Her Second Child!

We’re two days shy of a year from when Nicky Hilton Rothschild gave birth to her first child, a daughter named Lily Grace Rothschild. Apparently the 33-year-old heiress-turned-aristocrat is wildly enamored with motherhood — because she’s already pregnant with her second child. Yes, before her daughter’s first birthday, Nicky Hilton is pregnant again with another Rothschild. “The couple are thrilled about the new addition to their family,” a representative confirmed to People  after The Daily Mail first reported that the two were pregnant. According to previous statements from Nicky’s mother, Kathy Hilton, Nicky is totally on top of motherhood. “She’s unbelievable. With my babies, if I wanted to go pick them up I would just go in the room in the middle of the night, but Nicky is very much on a schedule. This is nap time, this is tummy time, so I’m just kind of like, ‘Okay.’” So long as nobody’s, like, being hurt or traumatized or whatever, it’s totally fine for people to have different parenting styles. “I’ll tell her certain things, but she’s read up on everything.” Whatever Nicky had learned from books at that point, we’re sure that she’s learned a lot more from being a mom to little Lily Grace. It sounds like Nicky pays as much careful attention to motherhood as her big sister Paris does to business. The Rothschild family is old and aristocratic. (That’s why you almost certainly recognized the name even if you haven’t followed Nicky’s life) And as much as we in the States like to poke fun at the long and sordid history of interconnected European royal families, celebrity families in the US can get into a similar predicament. For example, Nicky’s children won’t just be heir to the legacies of both the Rothschild and Hilton families, though obviously those are both big deals. Nicky’s kids will also be related to Kim Richards and Kyle Richards, of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fame. Kim and Kyle are already Lily Grace’s great-aunts, actually. Though, if we’re talking aunts, there aren’t many bigger deals in life than having Paris Hilton for an aunt. That’s the dream. It’s almost impossible to read up on Nicky Hilton’s relationship with James Rothschild and not think of another young couple where the woman is a famous American and the man is British and comes from an extremely prominent family. Reportedly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been very cozy lately , continuing to see each other in private as often as their respective schedules will allow. There’s still some controversy over the idea of Harry marrying an American — yes, even in 2017 — but we like to think that British aristocrats like James Rothschild marrying Americans helped to pave the way in British society. Sometimes, social progress “trickles up,” if you will. And then, of course, there’s the fact that Prince William married Kate Middleton, who is British but was a commoner. Sometimes you have to chip away at senseless traditions, one tiny piece at a time, to make way for others. Parallels aside, though, we don’t expect the sort of pomp and public enthrallment for Nicky and James’ new child as royal babies receive, obviously. Actually, given the nightmare of Brexit and generally mixed public feelings about the monarchy, we wonder how much attention future royal babies will receive compared to how much attention was lavished on George and Charlotte. But the only attention that Lily Grace and her expected younger sibling need, of course, comes from their parents. Last time, we learned about Nicky Hilton’s first pregnancy in January. That was about six months before Lily Grace was born. We know that Nicky Hilton likes to keep to regular schedules. (And The Daily Mail says that “it is understood” that the baby is over three months along) So … are we looking at a January baby? View Slideshow: 15 Awesome Pregnancy Announcements

June Shannon Weight Loss Spinoff: Who Will It Star?

June Shannon has lost A LOT of weight over the past several months. But she has not lost her desire to make money off reality television. The former Here Comes Honey Boo Boo mother disappeared from the spotlight for many years after TLC canceled the series that made her and her family into D-List stars back in the day. But she popped up again in early 2017 as the anchor of Mama June: From Not to Hot on WEtv. Although, to be fair, “anchor” may be an unfair word to use here. The program centered on how Shannon went from weighing over 400 pounds (i.e. NOT) to weighing under 200 pounds (i.e. HOT). She did so by going on a very strict diet and also by going under the knife on multiple occasions. In April, Shannon showed off her svelte figure on an episode of her new reality show, blowing away ex-husband Sugar Bear and every viewer who had followed Mama June since her days as… well… … as an extremely fat person. We’re not trying to be mean. Shannon was simply overweight and unhealthy by any objective measurement. Over the course of about six months, however, underwent surgeries that includes: – The insertion of a gastric sleeve. – A breast augmentation. – Skin removal on her “turkey neck,” “bat wings,” and stomach, the latter being area where doctors removed about nine pounds of loose skin. Shannon now weighs approximately 160 pounds . It’s a pretty amazing transformation, but it has also created a problem for the star: What does she do now? Having already gone from “Not” to “Hot,” how does Shannon ride this momentum to another season of reality television? Easy, according to OK! Weekly: she brings children Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon into the weight loss picture. “The girls are up for it, because the show will be all about them, and they’ll have their own big paydays,” a source tells the tabloid, adding that filming is already underway on the untitled spinoff. Like their mother, Alana and Lauryn both share an enjoyment of junk food, along with “sketti,” a pasta-covered-in-butter-and-ketchup concoction that became famous back during the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo days. Thankfully, neither young woman will undergo any surgery on this upcoming show. They will instead stick to a healthy diet and be made to exercise on a frequent basis. Is there something creepy and seemingly inappropriate about a TV show that focuses on the unflattering bodies of two children? Yes. But it’s hard to find too much fault helping kids eat well and work out often.  “I don’t want them to end up like I did at 460 pounds,” June has previously said of her daughters’ health. “Who would want that?” And if this series rates well, we really may never stop seeing June Shannon on television. The same tabloid claims a dating show starring the mother of two could be on tap, depending upon the success of this spinoff. “Mama June loves fame, and audiences love her,” says the insider.

Audrey Roloff: Check Out My Baby Bump!

A day after gushing over her husband and her lord and savior , Audrey Roloff took to Instagram and said some very nice things about someone with whom she is yet to interact. But someone she cannot wait to meet: The Little People, Big World star’s unborn baby! The expecting mother shared the above photograph of herself on social media on Thursday night, giving fans a beautiful look at her growing belly. She included with the snapshot and update on her physical and mental well-being as she approaches first-time motherhood. “My second-trimester update is coming to you a little late… as we have been in a crazzzzzyyy season of packing, moving, and buying our first home!” opened Audrey, who is due in September. She continued: “As I write this, I am almost 29 weeks pregnant, so technically I’m in the beginning of my 3rd trimester! Woah. Where does the time go! “For the most part, I’ve had a great and healthy pregnancy so far!” The wife of Jeremy Roloff and daughter-in-law of Little People, Big World stars Matt and Amy Roloff is expecting a girl this fall. Citing her big move and other life events, Audrey went on to give thanks to The Big Man Above. “I wholeheartedly believe that the Lord has been protecting me from a lot of the typical pregnancy pitfalls and discomforts because the rest of my life has offered plenty of that lately… “Moving, buying our first home, lots of doctors apt (for Jeremy AND me), @beating50 my clothing line @shopalwaysmore writing ALWAYS MORE… “Devotionals, blog posts, filming for LPBW, traveling between Bend and Portland, and being 6 months pregnant.” That really is a whole lot. Now that she’s in the home stretch, we hope Audrey takes it a bit easy and catches up on her sleep. She’s sure gonna need it when that little girl is born! Audrey and Jeremy got married in 2014 and announced their pregnancy this past February. They’ve gotten a small taste of what parenthood will be like because Zach and Tori Roloff just welcomed their first child into the world on May 12. It’s a precious little boy named Jackson and Audrey has shared a couple photos of her cradling the newborn. Audrey has kept Instagram followers well apprised of the status of her baby bump over the past few months. She’s always been very open about her life and her thoughts, her relationship and her faith. “The more we love God, the more we will be capable of loving others,” she wrote this week, for example, expounding as follows: “God’s love is infinite and ours is finite… God’s love is unconditional and ours expects a return… And yet, because of His great love for us and within us, we are able love like He loves. “We are able to love without bounds. We are ALWAYS able to love MORE.” It sounds like a certain little girl who is waiting to be born will enter a household this September that is filled with love, respect, religion and very important life lessons. Here’s a a happy, healthy final three months of pregnancy for Audrey and a happy, healthy daughter on the way! View Slideshow: Little People, Big World Cast: Then vs. Now

No Respect: Dead Passenger’s Half-Naked Body Dragged Down Aisle On American Airlines Flight

Image via DANIEL SLIM/AFP/Getty Images Dead Passenger Aboard American Flight Dragged Down Aisle In Her Underwear Despite the fact that we’ve spent the past few years screaming #BlackLivesMatter , America is consistent in their effort to prove us wrong. According to StarTribune , 48-year-old American Airlines passenger Theresa Hines died mid-flight in the plane’s bathroom. As if Ms. Hines’ sudden death wasn’t disturbing enough, a witnessing passenger says that when the EMTs came to remove Hines’ body, they left her bottom half exposed and dragged her down the aisle face up. One passenger is desperately lying to cover for the out-of-pocket EMT: “She was not half-naked,” said passenger Dave Sampsell in an e-mail. “Her pants were unfastened, but I saw nothing that any of the airline or EMT staff did inappropriately.” Maybe this guy is the EMT’s cousin or something, because several other passengers say Hines was absolutely exposed: “That’s baloney,” said passenger Art Endress. He said he was seated not far from the bathroom when an emergency medical technician (EMT) boarded with other responders, stood behind her head and “dragged her down the aisle.” “The EMT was out of line,” said Endress, 63, a research engineer at Southern Methodist University. “The flight attendants could have thrown a blanket on her” as she went past some of the 150 or so seated passengers, Endress added. Even in death, how embarrassing and disrespectful. SMH. R.I.P. Theresa Hines.

Nicole Kidman Legs in Instyle of the Day

Nicole Kidman’s ROBOT legs were in a magazine – because I guess she’s super famous and promoting some bullshit she acts in – as that is what she is programmed to do and will remain doing until someone hacks her software or forgets to plug her in to charge her battery… That means that after the apocalypse, when all humanity is on some ship circling the earth they destroyed thanks to TRUMP, Nicole Kidman, the Tom Cruise wife-bot, and mother to his adopted kids, since you can’t breed robots yet….the technology just isn’t there, not even in secret Scientology labs…. But after the apocalypse, she’ll just be cycling in circles or in front of her mirror….reading scripts over and over…or trying to clap like she’s at the award shows…wigging the fuck out…because that’s what robots do… The whole thing is super weird… The post Nicole Kidman Legs in Instyle of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
