You know how Ryan Edwards just got out of a long stay in rehab and everybody had high hopes that he could actually turn his life around this time? Yeah, about that … See, Ryan's done a lot of not-so-great things over the years. Lots and lots of them. One of those things is that he made a Tinder profile and tried to hook up with girls while married to Mackenzie Standifer. He's done that a couple of times, and now? Well, it looks like he's gone and done it again. 1. Dang It, Ryan 2018 just hasn’t been Ryan’s year, let’s be honest. 2. Huh But if 2018 hasn’t been his year … what year HAS been good for him? 3. Real Talk Ryan’s always been kind of a mess, right? Nearly 10 years ago when Maci was 16 and Pregnant, we saw him be pretty rude and indifferent about everything, and not much has changed since then. 4. Yup He’s never been a super active father, he’s never gone out of his way to get along with Maci, or with anyone, really. 5. There It Is But a couple of years ago, it became increasingly clear that Ryan seemed to be suffering from some kind of substance abuse problem. 6. Awww Last year, Maci confirmed that he had a drug problem on Teen Mom OG, and while she didn’t say what his drug of choice was, she did say that she’d heard from mutual friends that things had taken a terrifying turn.

Miley Cyrus was Saturday Night Live 's musical guest. But it was not her voice or song selection that turned heads. No — Twitter made it very clear that her eye-catching wardrobe choice was driving viewers to distraction. She wore a very shiny jacket … and nothing underneath. No shirt and no bra. Miley did not have a nip slip, thanks to some very praise-worthy wardrobe choices. But audiences weren't so confident of that, and they kept their eyes glued in awe and nervousness during Miley's performance. Take a look: 1. First, here was her look She looks great as she performs beside Mark Ronson. But was she courting disaster? 2. Viewers were amazed Anyone else old enough to be having flashbacks to Jennifer Lopez’s infamous dress? If you’re ready to feel ancient, know that J Lo’s dress was at the Grammy Awards in 2000. 3. It was distracting Distracting, in this case, refers to the tension as the audience wondered if her boob was going to pop out on live television. 4. Others vowed to remain focused Even the people concentrating on her voice had to acknowledge that she pulled off one hell of a look. 5. People watched in wonder We should point out that, if your nipples are capable of grasping and clinging to fabric, you may want to talk to a doctor. 6. Of course, how she did it is no real mystery Ever since the J Lo incident — which was nearly 19 years ago — people have known that double-sided tape is usually the trick. View Slideshow
The Duggar family is in Central America, getting dragged for being nuts . But that’s not what has the attention of fans. Followers of the infamous family have noticed that Michelle looks very different. Has she lost weight — or is she, as some fans fear, severely ill? The Duggars have been posting photos from their trip down south. Michelle’s face has looked noticeably different — more so than some added tanning could explain. This has some fans and followers worried. “Michelle looks sickly skinny,” observed one concerned commenter. Others were less concerned. “Michelle looks like she has lost quite a bit of weight,” another commenter observed. That same commenter continued: “Good for her. Wish I could.” Another followed up with a comment: “I agree.” This same person admitted: “I didn’t realize it was Michelle at first.” When people’s appearances change suddenly, it can be jarring for fans who only see them in social media posts. “You can see in her face she lost weight,” that person concluded. “She looks great!” Other fans were more direct with their praise. “Holy cow,” wrote yet another commenter. “Michelle looks amazing!” Several years ago, Michelle spoke out about body image. While she’s not going to win any feminist-of-the-year awards, she made some solid points. “We’re always going to find somebody skinnier than we are, somebody bigger than we are,” Michelle noted. For all but two people on the planet, she was exactly right. “Every girl struggles with, ‘Oh, I wish I looked like that or I wish my hair was like that,’” she admitted. “We go back to the point of who you are and how God made you,” she said. “You’re not your sister.” For Michelle, it’s all viewed through the lens of her faith: “It’s all about being who God wants YOU to be.” Of course, the Duggar family isn’t the kind who purposefully show off their post-baby bodies . At least, that’s not how Michelle raised them to be. “Our interpretation [of modesty is] that from the neck down to the knee should be covered,” Michelle has explained. “By keeping those private areas covered,” she claimed. “There’s not any ‘defrauding’ going on.” That’s an extremely silly word choice, which she explains. “My kids are taught the definition of defrauding as stirring up desires that cannot be righteously fulfilled,” Michelle said. Absurd. Other people’s desires are their business and no one else’s. She concluded: “We don’t believe in defrauding others by the way we dress.” Michelle’s beyond-questionable ideas about whether women are sorceresses who can entrace men with their sin-curves aside … … Her words about respecting your body for its appearance were pretty wise. She frames her version of body positivity through her specific religious beliefs, of course, but that is perfectly okay. So, is Michelle deliberately making an effort to lose weight now that she’s no longer a baby-factory? Is she under the weather and losing weight because of that? Sometimes, that happens on vacations. But sometimes people just drop a lot of water weight when they’re abroad, especially if they are spending a lot of time in warm temperatures. Maybe Michelle will explain. But if she doesn’t, that’s fine. She may believe that her body is her husband’s property, but in reality, her body is her business and hers alone.
