Chelsea Houska: Teen Mom 2 Reunion Shows Are THE WORST!
These days, when we think of Teen Mom 2 we basically think of a violent talk show that can only be described as Springer-esque.
At this point, it’s difficult to even recall the series’ quaint beginnings, a time when fans tuned in to enjoy everything promised by the title — namely, a sequel to a previous series that was also about the challenges of parenting as an adolescent.
Of course, it’s no accident that producers have chosen to switch the focus to the ever-intensifying feuds among cast members.
Drama sells, and as such, the TM2 reunions shows — that were once a fun opportunity to catch up on what the cast has been up to in the weeks since filming wrapped — have come to devour the rest of the season.
Now, reunion shows are the dramatic tentpole that props up the entire season.
Conflicts begin at the tapings in New York, and — much less often — they’re resolved there.
After the taping, the cast members return to their home states where tensions simmer for several months, and when they make their return to Manhattan the ladies are once again ready to throw down.
Obviously, viewers enjoy the new format, as reunion shows used to take place over the course of one hour, and now they encompass several episodes.
But not everyone in the cast is comfortable with the show’s new direction.
In recent weeks, Chelsea Houska has made it clear that this isn’t the kind of experience she signed on for.
She’s even taken to social media to complain about the gradual change in the focus of the series, complaining that Teen Mom 2 “isn’t about being a mom anymore.”
There’s been talk of Chelsea quitting the show, but it seems she’s not willing to go quite that far — yet.
Currently, Houska is pregnant with her third child, and she left the most recent taping ahead of schedule due to violence among cast members.
Now, a newly-released deleted scene shows that Chelsea and her husband, Cole DeBoer, have been fed up with the reunion show scene for quite some time.
“The reunion was a disaster,” Chelsea tells Cole and her father, Randy Houska, having recently returned from a taping in New York.
“That’s not our life,” Cole echoes.
“I mean, that’s what’s sad: there’s kids that think that’s normal,” Randy opines, always happy to throw a bit of shade.
“Because another time when Kail and — I don’t know if it was Briana or her sister — one of them was coming down the hallway and I had stepped out in the hallway with the baby,” Chelsea recalls in the scene,
“I…just went back in my room because I was, like, “Oh my god! I can’t even leave my room?!”
We think it’s safe to say Chelsea won’t be returning for too many future sessions with Dr. Drew.
Watch Teen Mom 2 online for a reminder of the many ways in which Chelsea is the chillest of the moms.

Crystal Methwin Arrested for Crystal Meth, Fulfilling Her Destiny
If you wrote up this story as fiction and sent it to an editor, they"d send it right back with a stern note. Because it"s just not believable.
But police say that they arrested a woman for crystal meth.
Her name? … Crystal Methvin.
This story, to absolutely no one"s shock or dismay, takes place in Florida.
According to the St. Augustine police department, officers acted upon an anonymous tip in order to carry out this arrest.
It is unclear if the tip mentioned anything about drugs — reports say that police were told of a woman sitting in her car on the side of the highway.
When officers arrived, Crystal did not have her driver"s license on hand.
This is when police say that they found a bag of crystal meth, along with other items described as drug paraphernalia.
Officers say that they believe that Crystal Methvin was selling these drugs.
Crystal was arrested and is being held on $ 5,000 bond.
She now faces a third-degree felony charge. Yes, folks, possession of meth is illegal, even in Florida.
Douglas Nickerson was also arrested, but, for some reason, is getting less attention.
Possibly because his name is not intensely hilarious.
Obviously, crystal meth itself is no laughing matter.
Methamphetamines are stimulant drugs that can take various forms, such as powder or pills.
Crystal meth is, well, a crystalline form that resembles shards of glass (or rock candy — but please do not eat it).
By all of its various nicknames, meth is illegal, and considered part of the same class of hard drugs as heroin and cocaine.
In addition to behavioral and health issues that can result from taking the drug, it is noted for degrading the facial structure and teeth of its users.
Some people are scratching their heads over why anyone would be named Crystal Methvin.
While cruel jokes are always a possibility, there is also a decent chance that no one realized what her name could be taken to mean at the time.
After all, some people obliviously name their children after famous porn studios. It"s not malicious, it"s just … adorably naive.
Still, Crystal Methwin"s admittedly hilarious arrest has led some to wonder if she was somehow predestined (or doomed) to do meth.
Others have wondered if anyone else whose name resembles an illicit substance should be quietly reported to police.
(Please do not; your joke could ruin someone"s life)
Just another day in the busy life of Florida Woman.

Nikki Bella and John Cena: We"re Back Together!
So much for Nikki Bella and John Cena being down for the count.
About six weeks after the WWE grapplers and reality show stars called off their engagement, sources tell Us Weekly that Cena and Bella are back together.
“Nikki called off the wedding earlier this month so she could have more time to make a decision with what she wanted in life,” an insider close to the pair tells this tabloid.
This source continues:
“Calling off the wedding was the right decision at the moment and their relationship only grew from it.
“It didn’t mean that any love was lost, or that they lost any feelings for one another, but they both have realized that they love each other and want to be with one another.”
Cena and Bella had been together for six years at the time of their break-up last month.
It was never clear exactly why they went their separate ways, although whether or not they were going to have kids in the near future, far future or at all was apparently a topic of tension.
“While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another,” the wrestlers said upon announcing their split.
A short time afterward, however, Cena appeared on The Today Show and poured his well-chiseled heart out.
“I had my heart broken out of nowhere,” Cena said at the time, growing emotional during this appearance, adding on air:
“I’ve looked at myself every day and I’ve tried to evaluate myself and the woman that I love.”
Without getting into specifics, Cena said that an “unfortunate set of circumstances” led to the romance ending, but made it as clear as possible that he’d be very open to another chance:
“I still love Nicole, I still would love to marry Nicole, I still would love to have a family with Nicole.”
Watch excerpts from the interview here:
The 41-year old WWE veteran has said for years that he didn’t want to have children.
But as you can see above, he’s now changed his tune and would be happy to impregnate Bella if she so desires.
Whatever it would take to make sure the couple walks down the aisle at some point, which is what they agreed to do back when Cena proposed inside the ring at Wrestlemania in 2017.
Tweeted Cena after their subsequent engagement party:
“Such a wonderful, meaningful, emotional day yesterday with the woman of my dreams and both of our families.
“I love you Nicole, you’ve made me realize the importance of togetherness.”
How sweet, right?
We’re very glad to hear that these to have worked out their issues and we send them nothing but the very best wishes.
It’s worth noting, of course, that neither Cena nor Bella have confirmed their reconciliation.
So let’s hope this isn’t a big tease from Us Weekly.
Let’s hope the report is accurate and wedding bells will soon ring!
Jana Duggar: Is That an ENGAGEMENT RING on Her Finger?!
Fans of her famous family are obsessed with the fact that Jana Duggar is still single.
We suppose that’s not surprising, as women in Jana’s family are taught that procreation is their primary reason for being and are frequently married off in their teens.
Still, Jana is only 28, and she seems to enjoy remaining at home and helping to raise her many younger siblings.
In other words, it would be nice to see Duggar obsessives ease up a bit on Jana — but that’s very clearly never going to happen.
In fact, as she creeps closer to the big 3-0, it seems the scrutiny on Jana’s love life is only growing more intense.
“Plant shopping is some of the best kind of shopping. Just ask Jana.”
But it’s not the fungible flora that Duggar fans are focused on here.
Instead, it’s the almost imperceptible shadow on Jana’s ring finger.
As In Touch Weekly reports, fans have been freaking out over the pic, with many declaring it hard evidence that Jana is engaged.
“I may be losing it, but I swear I see a shadow on her ring finger,” commented one fan on a Duggar-focused Reddit board.
“There is!” another user eagerly confirmed.
Someone even went so far as to zoom in on the image in order to determine if Jana is indeed sporting some a new rock.
First the good news:
It does look as though Jana is rocking some finger bling.
The bad news, however, is that the hand we see in this photo is her right hand.
Whoops.
Yes, if you’ve spent any time in the Western world, then you’re probably aware engagement rings are typically worn on the left hand.
And the Duggars aren’t exactly huge on breaking with tradition.
So much to the chagrin of all the Jana-boosters out there, it seems the eldest Duggar daughter remains single.
As for whether or not Jana is disappointed, we don’t really know!
She generally doesn’t talk about her love life very often.
Unfortunately, her family and fans never shut up about it.

Samantha Bee Apologizes for Calling Ivanka Trump a "Feckless C-nt"
Samantha Bee is known for playing dirty.
But the comedian now admits that she played a bit too dirty in her recent critique of Ivanka Trump.
Allow us to explain…
In a segment that aired on Wednesday’s edition of her Comedy Central talk show, Full Frontal, Bee attacked the First Daughter for her inability to put a to stop her father’s immigration policies.
Ivanka recently came under extreme fire for sharing an Instagram photo of herself and her son, a move she made amidst nationwide outcry over the separation of undocumented children from their parents.
“My [heart],” Trump wrote as a caption to this sweet, albeit tone deaf and poorly-timed, photo:
In response to this image, along with growing questions over how the current administration handled immigrant parents and their kids, Bee said the following yesterday:
“Let me just say, one mother to another, do something about your dad’s immigration practices, you feckless cunt!.
He listens to you.
“Put on something tight and low-cut and tell your father to fucking stop it. Tell him it was an Obama thing and see how it goes.”Y
Yeah. Bee very much went there. See it here for yourself:
Moreover, Bee went there (dropping the C-Word AND implying that President Trump is attracted to his own child) the same week that Roseanne Barr slammed a former black White House aide as an “ape” and saw her sitcom get canceled as a result.
Therefore, many Conservaties are calling out the media for a double standard.
Why has Roseanne been dragged so hard, yet so little has been said about Bee?
Why did ABC axe Roseanne Season 11, yet Time Warner and TBS have not uttered a single critique of Bee?
“Compare ABC’s reaction to Roseanne Barr’s tweet w TBS’s non-reaction to Samantha Bee and you’ll see a double-standard in action,” Tweeted George W. Bush advisor Ari Fleischer, adding:
“There’s no uprising against Bee. Why? Because she is liberal. Because the MSM protects Obama and his aides, but not Trump. The hypocrisy is sickening.”
Adds Megyn Kelly:
“This is disgusting. How is this acceptable? And how are we expected to take any of these publications seriously if they gleefully repost something like this at the same time they (rightfully) condemn @therealroseanne?
“You know the saying Love is Love? Well Hate is Hate.”
We’re not sure if this is an exact comparison, of course.
Roseanne has a history of saying racist things. And she dropped a very general and pretty darn random epithet on Valerie Jarrett.
Bee, conversely, basically just used bad language to describe Ivanka for one specific reason.
Still, however, Bee has offered an apology, Tweeting this afternoon:
I would like to sincerely apologize to Ivanka Trump and to my viewers for using an expletive on my show to describe her last night. It was inappropriate and inexcusable.
I crossed a line, and I deeply regret it.
Will this mark the end of the issue?
Probably not.
It seems impossible to believe that Donald Trump won’t chime in with an opinion, while the White House itself has denounced the remark via press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
She wants action taken against the Comedy Central host:
“The language used by Samantha Bee last night is vile and vicious,” she said, adding:
“The collective silence by the left and its media allies is appalling.
“Her disgusting comments and show are not fit for broadcast, and executives at Time Warner and TBS must demonstrate that such explicit profanity about female members of this administration will not be condoned on its network.”

Anna Duggar: Getting Friendly With Lawson Bates Behind Josh Duggar"s Back!
It’s been three years since the world learned that Josh Duggar molested five young girls while still living under his parents’ roof.
In that time, very little has changed for his siblings and parents, who seemed to have no trouble rebuilding their lucrative media empire.
However, a great deal has changed for Josh, whose life really couldn’t be more different than it was in 2015
Yes, three short years ago, Josh was a Washington lobbyist and reality TV star with dreams of running for office.
These days, his career trajectory couldn’t be more different.
But at home, Josh’s life remains largely unchanged.
Despite his many, many indiscretions, Josh still controls his wife, Anna, to the point that he tells her who she’s allowed to be friends with.
And not surprisingly, it seems that arrangement has led to some very tense situations.
Josh is mostly cut off from the rest of the Duggars these days, and longtime friends of the family reportedly want nothing to do with him.
The situation reached the point where the father of five rarely ventures into his hometown of Tontitown, where he’s known as “Josh the molester,” one source tells us.
But lots of folks who want nothing to do with Josh have maintained close ties to the rest of the family — including the Bates family of Bringing Up Bates fame.
Yes, it’s possible that there’s no family in America who has more in common with the Duggars than the Bates.
They’re also a massive clan of fundamentalists who starred in their own reality show — and they also want nothing to do with Josh.
Which is why fans are so intrigued by the fact that Anna Duggar and Lawson Bates have been interacting on social media.
Lawson recently tweeted the above photo of himself holding Josh and Anna’s youngest son, Mason.
But while he was happy to visit the Duggar clan during his time in Arkansas, Lawson reportedly avoided Josh like the plague.
Interestingly, however, it seems he got along quite well with Josh’s wife and children.
As In Touch Weekly points out, Anna was quick to comment on Lawson’s photo, tweeting:
“Great to have you in town! Mason enjoyed getting to hang out with you :).”
It may not seem like Anna and Lawson are going to any great lengths to hide their friendship.
But it’s important to bear in mind that Josh’s social media use is closely monitored, and he’s only allowed to use Facebook.
So he might never catch wind of Anna and Lawson’s back-and-forth.
Fans have been pushing for Anna to file for divorce from Josh, so they couldn’t be happier about this development.
Unfortunately, it’s extremely unlikely that Anna will leave Josh for Lawson.
Divorce is strictly forbidden in the Duggars’ community, and Anna clearly has every intention of sticking by her man.

Jacob Roloff Labels Reality TV "Ridiculous," Details Split from His Family
Note to Little People, Big World viewers:
If you’ve been holding your breath for the last few months, waiting for news that Jacob Roloff is set to return to his family’s reality show, then you may go ahead and exhale.
Because the news has been confirmed and Jacob is on his way back to this TLC series?
No.
Because he likely never will be and there’s no point in risking suffocation at this point.
We’re nearing the two-year anniversary of Roloff stunning fans by announcing his resignation from Little People, Big World.
He did so in July of 2016 by saying he was sick of “storylines [being] drawn up” about him and his relatives, hinting strongly that the program was scripted.
Jacob went on to cite “ridiculous talking points” that producers asked cast members to mention, while labeling his loved ones as “characters” in this misleading drama.
With these statements, Roloff left the world of reality television and has spent the past several months traveling around the Pacific Northwest with his fiancee and two dogs.
Over time, however, Jacob slowly made up with his family and has now opened up about his time in front of the camera.
This is what Jacob writes in his new book, “Out to See,” in regard why he left the show:
Among so many things, I simply did not want this ridiculous reality TV to use up so much of my time, lest it leave too deep an imprint on my ability to influence the world otherwise.
I did not want this imposition to become my identity, and so I rebelled in the manner that I did, and eventually exited the show.
Let no one ever accuse Jacob Roloff of not being a profound individual.
Jacob also touched on his series departure last May, while expounding last June about the ways he’s grown up since making this decision.
“I remember at that time, I was causing strife,” Roloff said last summer about the previous summer, adding:
“I said inflammatory things. Even as I said those things, I would admit that in about a year, I’d probably regret some of this.”
Jacob went on to admit that he “rebelled” as a teenager and “left the show and left the religion I was brought up with, and I left it in a pretty flamboyant way.”
But now?
Now he loves to spend time with his niece and nephew and parents and there are no hard feelings between any of them.
Still, we read excerpts from his memoir and can’t fathom he ever shows up on front of a camera again.
“The entire concept of reality TV is strange because, as a viewer, you are subscribing to a particular illusion – that you are witnessing and being let in on the secrets of the subjects’ lives,” he writes.
“In reality you are being shown a shallow character and only what someone else approves of, in relation to narrative and talking points.”
Wait… WHAT?!?
Jacob is saying that what we see on reality television is not exactly true reality? We’re stunned!
Concludes Jacob in this passage:
“This was my meaning in saying the ‘Roloff Characters’ in the past; not that the real people are characters or deliberately acting; but whichever Roloff you think you know is… sculpted specifically to entice and convince you to keep this channel on.”
Welp, now we’ve heard everything.
There’s no way this applies to Keeping Up with the Kardashians at least.
That show depicts each of those sisters precisely as they really are, with no editing and no scripts involved at all.

Kathryn Dennis: I"m Taking My Kids Back From Thomas Ravenel!
As Southern Charm star Thomas Ravenel faces multiple accusasations of sexual assault,
While ex-wife Kathryn Dennis broke her silence but refused to comment publicly. Behind the scenes, however, is another story.
Reportedly, she is gearing up to mention the accusations against Thomas in court as she seeks to obtain full custody.
RadarOnline reports that Kathryn Dennis is fighting for custody. And that courtroom battle is heating up, under the circumstances.
“Kathryn is going to court to ask a judge to give her full custody of the kids.”
That would be a huge change from the current situation.
“Right now, Kathryn pays Thomas $ 100 a month in child support since he has full custody.”
As you may remember, Kathryn failed a drug test in 2016. Marijuana and cocaine were found in her system.
“She is planning to ask for money for child support from Thomas in court.”
He is believed to be more affluent than she is.
“Since she is spending fifty percent of the time with the kids.”
Any parent fighting for custody is going to go out of their way to make sure that the court is aware of everything.
That includes the sexual assault allegations against her ex.
“Kathryn is considering bringing up all of the sexual assault stories about Thomas that are in the news now.”
The source isn’t sure that she’s dead-set on bringing it up, however.
“She might do that if she thinks it will help get her more time and money.”
That’s a sort of cynical way to phrase that.
The court date is set for June 8.
It is worth noting that, while none of these accusations imply that Thomas has mistreated his children, it may make a lot of sense for a judge to review these accusations.
Thomas Ravenel is accused of assaulting his former nanny. She came forward and identified herself as one of his accusers.
Not only was Nanny Dawn assigned to watch over the young children, Kensie and Saint, but the details of her accusation against him may make it relevant.
Because Nanny Dawn says that she was reluctant to fight back too hard against his alleged assault because his daughter was sleeping in a nearby room.
She did not want the child to witness a sexual assault. Clearly, neither does Kathryn.
Thomas Ravenel is accused of brutal and frightening assaults.
One against his former nanny.
Another woman spoke out, accusing Ravenel of assaulting her mother after a date.
Additionally, a childhood friend of Kim Kardashian has spoken out — not about sexual assault, but about Ravenel allegedly having a sudden and frightening change in demeanor after a date.
In each accusation, Ravenel is said to have gone from being a gentleman to a terror with little or no warning.
We could see Kathryn Dennis mentioning this in court.
Of course, Kathryn Dennis very notably did not speak up when offered the chance to do so while speaking ot Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.
It is reported that members of the cast of Southern Charm have been warned by Bravo to avoid speaking out on the allegations against Ravenel.
While it is likely that the network is just hoping to avoid further scandal rather than trying to in any way obstruct justice, it can give the appearance that the cast supports Ravenel.
We do not know how they really feel.
But if Kathryn brings up Thomas’ accusations in court, we may just find out how she really feels about her ex.
Drake Breaks Silence on Blackface Photo, Remains Mum on Secret Son
We think it’s safe to say the previous 48 hours haven’t been particularly easy on Drake.
It all started when Drizzy got a little big for his britches and decided to attack Pusha T with an exceedingly lame diss track.
King Push was quick to send Aubrey back to the kids’ table with one of the most punishing verses in recent memory.
In the “The Story of Adidon,” Pusha went after his rival like a DA prosecuting an open-and-shut case.
Anyone who listened to the track came away with the impression that Drake had committed a number of unforgivable crimes against his fans, against his loved ones, and against hip-hop culture.
Push rattles off a laundry list of offenses, but the most egregious are made clear right from the start.
In his opening salvo, the surgical emcee accuses Drake of being a deadbeat dad, hiding his son from the world and refusing to acknowledge the adult film star with whom he fathered the child.
But the allegation Drake might have the hardest time explaining away comes not in the lyrics to the song, but in its cover art:
As you can see, that’s a photo of Drake wearing blackface makeup.
Rumors about the origin of the image began to circulate immediately after the song’s release, and while accounts differed widely, all were in agreement that it was a very, very bad look.
Last night, Drake attempted to clear the air with a lengthy description of the photo’s context:
“I know everyone is enjoying the circus but I want to clarify this image in question,” he wrote.
“This was not from a clothing brand shoot or my music career.
“This picture is from 2007, a time in my life where I was an actor and I was working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and type cast.”
“The photos represented how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment,” Drake continued.
“Me and my best friend at the time, Mazin Elsadig, who is also an actor from Sudan, were attempting to use our voice to bring awareness to the issues we dealt with all the time as black actors at auditions.”
The revelation that the photos were taken as part of a political statement and not — as initially rumored — an advertisement for a clothing line has prompted some detractors to give Drake a pass.
Though the consensus remains that the photo was in very poor taste.
Now, fans are clamoring for Drake’s response to the negligent parenting allegations.
Something tells us it’ll be quite sometime before Drizzy sounds off on that matter.

Caitlyn Jenner: Skipping Her Own Son"s Wedding to Spoil Gal Pal Sophia Hutchins?!
We know that Caitlyn Jenner’s own family barely speaks to her. But that’s the Kardashian side of things.
On the other side, they still want her in their lives. In fact, Brody Jenner invited Cait to his wedding.
Curiously, Cait has said that she can’t attend — and a report claims that the blame for that lies at the feet of gal pal Sophia Hutchins.
From what a source tells RadarOnline, Sophia is holding Caitlyn back from attending her own son’s wedding.
“Cait can go to Brody’s wedding if she really wanted to.”
Caitlyn Jenner’s estimated net worth is somewhere in the ballpark of $ 100 million dollars. She can attend just about anything at any time.
“But she can’t and won’t because of her boss Sophia.”
That’s a bit of hyperbole, but … this source claims that Sophia has quickly become the center of Cait’s world.
According to this source, Cait is willing ot miss a major milestone in her son’s life.
“The truth is, Sophia’s Cait’s number one priority.”
This really fuels the rumors that these two are closer than ever.
“And they’re inseparable.”
Apparently, Cait and Sophia have a scheduling conflict with Brody.
“Brody’s wedding date and all the traveling screws up things that Cait already has planned with Sophia.”
Awkward.
This source says that it’s mostly Sophia’s cold feed that are keeping them from attending.
“Sophia wasn’t up for all the wedding extravaganza and because she wasn’t, neither was Cait.”
They say that Caitlyn indulges her much younger gal pal at every opportunity.
“Caitlyn spoils her rotten.”
Apparently the two of them share more than similar interests and a mutual love of dogs.
“Everything she wants: clothes, vacations, jewelry, all of Cait’s attention, she gets.”
Wow.
That may lend some credence to the rumor that Caitlyn and Sophia are planning a wedding of their own.
We should note that, though some may have doubts about whether or not this can be blamed on Sophia, Caitlyn not attending Brody’s wedding is not fake news.
Cait has had a strained relationship with the children she had before marrying Kris Jenner.
Cait has been able to reconnect with some of her kids through a shared love of sports. Cait is an Olympian and she likes that sort of thing.
But since none of that interests Brody, their relationship has remained strained.
However, TMZ reports that Caitlyn did attend the bridal shower.
They also say that she does not disapprove of Brody’s fiancee or of the marriage.
But she told Brody that she can’t attend due to a business opportunity that she just can’t pass up.
And that has left Brody feeling very hurt.
It’s easy to lay the blame at Sophia’s feet, but it may be that, quite simply, family and family relationships are complicated.
Sophia and Caitlyn have a lot in common and are rumored to be in a relationship, but Cait could make time to go to her son’s wedding.
If she really wanted to.
Turning down an invitation or canceling plans can be stressful, but it is also a relief to not have to prepare for an awkward occassion. We totally understand that.
It’s sad that Cait won’t be attending Brody’s wedding.
It’s probably even sadder for Brody, since apparently neither Kendall nor Kylie even bothered to RSVP that they wouldn’t be coming.
Family is complicated.
