F or months, Ben Carson has been in a media firestorm for his deeply unprofessional behavior at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Last month, he was accused in a lawsuit by Helen Foster of demoting her for not approving extravagant office renovations. Last week, Marcus Smallwood, the department’s director of records, wrote an email to Carson and other top officials, which was shared with The Guardian and read in part, “Helen Foster is not the only person at HUD that has been persecuted in this witch-hunt under your watch… She is the only person who has been brave enough to stand on principle and put her career, reputation, and livelihood on the line. The rest of us have operated in fear.” Plus, there is the n early $200,00 in office renovations, accusations of his family being too involved at HUD, emails proving he has lied and even reports of Carson using taxpayer money for private planes . Now, CNN.com lists Carson as number seven on Trump’s list of possible people he could fire, “The Housing and Urban Development secretary purchased — and then canceled — a $31,000 dining set for his work office. Why isn’t he higher on this list? Because Trump likes him — and the two went through the political wars together in 2016. I think that counts for something — maybe a lot — in Trump’s book.” Also, the White House was reportedly “ furious ” with how “the HUD communications shop handled” the luxurious dining set Although Trump should have never made Carson the secretary of HUD in the first place, firing him would not be far-fetched –and this is the same man who is reportedly considering firing his own daughter .

If you watched Amber Portwood on Marriage Boot Camp Friday night, then you know that it really did not seem to be a good time for her. She was weird, loud, aggressive … so how she usually is, only way worse. She picked fights with anyone and everyone , no reason needed, and she just had this quality about her that was alarming and upsetting and just very not good. And now we know why! On Friday morning, presumably once she realized how much attention her behavior on the show would receive, she hopped on Twitter to send a special message to her followers. “No matter what struggles I went through a year ago on MBC..I’m now happy, healthy and sober,” she wrote. “The struggles & anger I went through are real & I’m happy to have ended such a horrific time in my life! Ready to live life clear headed and full of love.” “The future is finally bright,” she added. There’s quite a bit to unpack here, but the most notable thing is that she says she’s “now happy, healthy and sober,” implying that when she was filming the show, she wasn’t any of those things. This is the first time she’s admitted to not sticking with her sobriety, because being sober is a very big deal for her. She once said that in early seasons of Teen Mom, we literally never saw her when she wasn’t on some sort of substance — even when we saw her go to rehab. Back in those days, she had a habit of taking all kinds of pills, primarily, and her drug problem was so bad that when she was in prison, she opted for a longer sentence instead of going to rehab . She said she believed that was the only way she could truly overcome her addiction. In the years after her release from prison, she made a big deal out of her sobriety, and for a while, it did seem like she was doing well. Then there was a troubling Teen Mom episode when we saw her drinking with Matt Baier — at the time, she said it was OK for her to drink because she’d never been an alcoholic. Unfortunately, that’s not quite how addiction works. She continued to drink for a good long while with Matt, but she always got very upset whenever anyone suggested that it would be a good idea for her to stay away from all substances, not just the specific ones she preferred in the height of her addiction. Even in the current season, she got furious when Matt suggested she wasn’t sober. But for us viewers, it’s been clear for a while now that something hasn’t been quite right with her, and the episode of Marriage Boot Camp really drove that home. And it looks like now we know what the issue is — or a big part of it anyway. After making that tweet about her sobriety, someone asked her to clarify what she was talking about, and she explained that she “was drinking heavily on top of my bipolar and borderline medication.” “Obviously something you shouldn’t do with medications like that,” she added. “However it happened and I went through hard times in order to be truly happy finally.” It’s nice that she’s being honest about what caused her bizarre behavior on Marriage Boot Camp, but it’s also pretty terrifying. We obviously don’t know what medications she’s taking, but mixing alcohol with medications can be extremely dangerous — she’s lucky that some embarrassing outbursts were all that happened. Another thing though is her pregnancy. The timeline here is pretty tight , and deeply concerning. Judging by the dates she’s given us, she likely got pregnant sometime in August — Marriage Boot Camp was filmed towards the end of June. That means she had around a month to a month and a half to get off her meds and to get her drinking under control. View Slideshow: Amber Portwood SLAMS Gary Shirley and MTV in Epic Rant! Oh, and one more issue: now that we’re seeing what Amber was like while filming this show, we know what she was like when Andrew Glennon became attracted to her. Is there one happy thing about this whole situation? At all? Even just one tiny little thing?
Forgive the most obvious pun of all-time, but Fox News anchor Jesse Watters is in some… muddy waters. The host of Watters World is in the middle of a legal split from his wife Noelle, after the latter filed for divorce in October. This filing isn’t news. But what is making news all over the Internet today is the allegation that the filing was triggered by Watters having an affair with a 25-year old Fox News associate producer. Watters is 39 years old. He has twin girls with his soon-to-be-ex-wife. Insiders tell The New York Daily News said that Watters told the network of his adulterous relationship with Emma DiGiovine shortly after Noelle submitted the aforementioned divorce papers. As a result of this affair, DiGiovine was transferred from Watters’ program to The Ingraham Angle. Watters is a close confidant of President Donald Trump. He just dined with the Commander-in-Chief last week and is considered by most folks in media to be modeling himself after Sean Hannity. (You may take that statement however you would like.) DiGiovine and Watters are still dating, sources tell The Daily News, while a Fox News spokesperson says the following: Within 24 hours of Jesse Watters voluntarily reporting to the Chief of Human Resources in November 2017 that he was in a consensual relationship with a woman on his staff, management met with both parties and a decision was made for the woman to be transferred to work on another program on the network where she currently remains. This is a photo of Emma DiGiovine: Watters and his alleged mistress did little to hide their romance, according to this report. They often shared photos of each other on social media, including snapshots from a vacation to the Caribbean. Lawyers for both Noelle and Jesse Watters did not comment when contacted by the newspaper that published this story. Watters and his wife, meanwhile, got married in 2009 and welcomed their kids in 2011. While this relationship is clearly consensual, social media users are abuzz over it being yet another example of a Fox News higher-up wading into troubling waters with women. Bill O’Reilly, once the most-watched host on cable television, parted ways with the network last year amidst reports that he paid millions of dollars to victims of his sexual harassment in exchange for their silence. In 2016, Fox News CEO Roger Ailes resigned his position after numerous underlings accused him of acting very inappropriately in their presence in very many occasions. Ailes passed away about 10 months later.

By now, you must have heard: On the season finale of The Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk Jr. got down on one knee and proposed to Becca Kurfin. He then realized that he still had feelings for runner-up Lauren Burnham… so he invited Becca over to his house and shattered her heart into a million tiny pieces – in front of ABC cameras, no less! And while Kurfin claims she's forgiven Arie for his actions, past mainstays from this beloved franchise can't believe Arie would do her like that on national television. Scroll down for a look at the reactions of some very familiar names. Do you agree with their assessment? 1. Oh, Arie The 22nd Bachelor in show history admits he made a huge “mistake” in the way he handled the Becca break-up, but that doesn’t change the fact that it happened. He ended their engagement in front of millions of viewers! 2. She Can Relate Melissa Rycroft was watching the finale when it happened. If you recall, she was dumped on the After the Rose special by Jason Mesnick, who then asked out runner-up Molly Malaney. 3. And Speaking of Molly… Yup, she was watching as well. And she wasn’t a fan of how this was handled. 4. And Then Speaking of Jason… Wait, what? Maybe he didn’t want it filmed deep down inside, but he obviously agreed to it and, you know, did actually break up with Becca on camera. 5. They Also Did It for Ratings But we agree. No way Becca isn’t announced as The Bachelorette, right?!? 6. Spoken from Experience Lowe is the only Bachelor in history to actually marry the woman he proposed to on the show. This is a man who knows the love business. View Slideshow
Are you ready for The Bachelor 's finale? One of the contestants thinks that Arie Luyendyk Jr. wasn't ready to film it. Not in his heart, anyway. Bekah Martinez isn't divulging any The Bachelor Spoilers , exactly, but it's clear that she knows how things end. In the video below, she isn't mincing words when she tells the world exactly what Arie is really like. She doesn't paint a pretty picture. As we all saw in the preview for The Bachelor 's epic finale, Arie Luyendyk Jr. feels like a monster . He says so himself. It turns out that Bekah Martinez, the notoriously young contestant who was also very briefly a “missing person,” has a similar view of the man whose heart she once vied to win. She doesn't quite use the word “monster,” but she describes a man who isn't being honest — with the world or with himself — about what he really wants. Bekah is forthright and charming, but even so, some might be tempted to dismiss her words as sour grapes from a woman who cried literal black tears when she was sent home. But … listen to her words and decide their merit for yourself. Bekah isn't revealing any spoilers about the woman Arie chooses, but she has a prediction. “I don't see him being with this person for the rest of his life.” Well, the world's known for a while that Arie changes his mind after the finale and goes back to the runner-up, so … she's not wrong. But more to the point, she says that he's not actually ready for marriage. “I don't. I just don't think that's what he wants right now, if he's being honest with himself and honest with the world. I think it's odd [that he would worry about choosing the wrong person].” She goes on to point out that Arie's outspoken indecisiveness is a sign that he's not cut out for marriage just yet. “I think that if you fear yourself making a wrong decision that much, you're probably not very in touch with yourself.” As fans await the finale, Bekah teases that it's going to defy expectations. “I genuinely think this is going to be the most dramatic season ever.” The most dramatic finale, at any rate. And one of the most divisive. “I'm not just being Chris Harrison on that. I think it's going to be very dramatic and very shocking. And I think people will have very strong emotions about the way that this season ends. That's for sure.” She thinks that Arie's fans are going to have some strong, potentially negative opinions about things. Keep in mind that she has the inside scoop. “I saw everything play out behind the scenes. You know, you are friends with the people [on the show], so you have people calling you, telling you what's going on, and it's rough.” Bekah is still in touch with most of the women from her season, and she says that her first response to hearing what went on after she left was … disbelief. “At first, I was just like, 'Oh, my gosh, this cannot actually be happening.' And then, honestly, my reaction after was like, 'Oh, well, that kind of makes sense.'” She's such a tease, but she has to be — she is contractually prohibited from dropping the spoilers that the Bachelor Nation craves. “I think Arie has a conflict between how he wants to present himself and what kind of woman he thinks he should be with, and what kind of woman he knows he should be with.” Plenty of guys are in that position — even plenty of guys as old as Arie. But not all of those guys star on The Bachelor . “And then what he really wants. I mean, you just don't change dating patterns you had for years and years at the drop of a hat because you're on a TV show. That doesn't just change overnight.” Basically, Bekah thinks that Arie likes to be in charge in his relationships and that he's not prepared to be honest about that or to get married. Is she right? She says that these last five hours (yes, it's a two-day, five-hour finale) could change the way that Arie's fans feel about him. “Arie doesn't have a huge fan base as it is, and I think the small fan base will be affected negatively [by the finale].” So he's not doing his brand any favors. That said, she doesn't think that he's a bad person. “He may be a misguided person, perhaps, but I think he's a good person, and a fun person.” Honestly, Bekah might be the breakout star of this season of The Bachelor . She's such a delight. Watch her interview for yourself. This girl needs to be back on everybody's televisions. Forever.
