Bristol Palin: It Was SO Awkward to Meet the Teen Moms!
Bristol Palin was a literal teen mom about 10 years ago.
But the daughter of ex-Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin is now a Teen Mom is the more figurative and professional sense, making a living as one of two new cast members on Teen Mom OG.
It’s pretty darn weird when you think about it.
Or not just when you think about it.
When you actually experience it and work alongside Palin, according to Tyler Baltierra.
For Bristol, meanwhile, it was pretty darn weird to walk right onto a show that had been airing for seven seasons already — and on which everyone was pretty close and familiar.
“I was like, this is their job, they’ve been doing this for so long,” Palin said on Monday’s Teen Mom OG premiere aftershow.. “I hope they like me.”
She may have also had this fear because, let’s face it, plenty of people out there do not like Bristol or her famous mother.
Bristol and Chyenne Floyd were both added to Teen Mom OG in the wake of Farrah Abraham being let go by MTV.
After plenty of back and forth with the controversial star, executives decided in February that it could no longer be associated with someone who did amateur pornography, basically.
“We didn’t want to step on toes, I think,” Floyd said of how she and Palin felt upon meeting the other OGs and starting to film by their side.
Catelynn Lowell, who also appeared on the after-show, thought back to the first time she met the new cast members, saying on air:
“We were doing a promo shoot. I think the production and everything made it was more awkward.”
Bristol agreed, chiming in as follows:
“So awkward!”
And Floyd also agreed!
“We hugged, and it was probably the most awkward hug ever. It was so awkward,” she said of meeting Palin.
Also awkward for Floyd? Some of the backlash she has received for not actually being a teen mom.
Not now. Not ever.
(Floyd shares one-year-old daughter Ryder with Cory Wharton; they welcomed their daughter whe Chyenne was 23 years old.)
But this is what Chyenne said on the topic last month:
“I think that a lot of people are stuck on the word and at the end of the day I’m still young mom. I still have the same struggles and I’m still learning just like everyone else.
I don’t think 23 is the ideal age to have a baby. She was unplanned, so in other ways, other than me not being a teen, I have different things that you can relate.
“So instead of me screaming all day long that I’m not a teen mom, I’d rather just talk about things that I am.”
For a look at how the veteran OGs feel about these newbies, click below:

Colin Jost & Michael Che"s Emmys Monologue Was Long, Topical, Awkward
The 2018 Emmys kicked off with an overly long and overly topical monologue from hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che that tried hard to be funny … but ended up being cringeworthy. The ‘SNL’ vets came out standing shoulder-to-shoulder Monday…

Bachelor in Paradise Recap: Most Awkward Engagement Ever!
If you’re a fan of the Bachelor franchise, you likely read months ago about Ashley Iaconetti and Jared Haibon getting engaged.
But did the much-discussed and celebrated proposal live up the hype? To many articles written about it? To the hopes and dreams of everyone who has followed the adventures of these reality stars?
We found out on Monday evening.
With Ashley’s ex, Kevin Wendt, standing right there on the beach, Haibon got down on one knee and popped the pressing question to his girlfriend, just as previously advertised and anticipated.
“Isn’t it crazy, three years ago we met right at this spot on this very beach. I love you so much… You’ve always been there for me,” Jared said, as Ashley started crying.
“You’re everything to me,” he added.
A diamond ring by jeweler Neil Lane in hand, Haibon then got to the crux of his romantic point.
“You’d make me the happiest man alive if I got the opportunity to spend the rest of my life with you. So, Ashley, will you marry me?”
“Yes!” she screamed, referring the stunning sparkler as “perfect,” probably because it was in her contract to do so, and adding:
“You’re my soulmate and I love you.”
Ashley and Jared first met on Bachelor in Paradise Season 2.
They dated for a little while and Ashley was convinced early on that Jared was The One — but it took him a little bit longer to arrive at the same conclusion.
After Jared dissed her on Season 3 of this same show, the stars remained friends until Haibon got jealous that Iaconetti had found a new lover and finally decided to make his ultimate move.
The thing is… Kevin watched the entire proposal called down and called it a “slap in the face” after their breakup in March.
Indeed, he and Ashley for several months earlier after they connected on Bachelor Winter Games in 2017.
The Canadian firefighter evn accused Ashley of cheating on him with Jared on the premiere episode of Bachelor in Paradise this season.
“That really hurt me,” he said at the time.
Later on Monday night, while talking to Jordan, Kevin seemingly alluded to Ashley’s virginity.
Was he not only an ex-boyfriend, but the first person to ever go to bed with Iaconetti?
“I am a very monumental part of her dating life, let’s just put it that way,” he said on Bachelor in Paradise. “I’m a big part of her life.”
We wrote three years ago about this possibility, putting it out there online that Wendt may very well have put it to Iaconetti.
But that was then and this is now and the future is the future. It’s all about Jared and Ashley going forward, with fans wondering when the two will get married.
“We wish we could do it on TV, but, you know, we haven’t really had the offer, so we’re doing it on our own right now,” Ashley told Entertainment Tonight of wedding planning last month, adding:
“It’s more stressful than we thought.”
“It’s a little surreal,” Haibon added.
It’s also very exciting!
Congratulations, you crazy and in love kids!

Khloe Kardashian: Mother"s Day is Gonna Be Awkward AF
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and you can guess which new mom is ready to experience the holiday in a whole new light.
Khloe Kardashian is talking to her fans about how excited she is for the upcoming holiday. Now that Khloe has welcomed her baby girl, this will be her first Mother’s Day as a mom.
But … things are going to be a little complicated, folks.
In a post on Khloe’s app, the new mom gushes about the upcoming holiday — which will be on Sunday, May 13.
“This Mother’s Day will be the most special yet!”
For her and for Kylie, since they both became moms this year.
“I still can’t believe I’m a mom.”
Quite frankly, she had an entire lifetime and then nine months to get used to the idea of motherhood. She hasn’t yet had one month to process Tristan being a serial cheater.
But she’s focusing on the positive.
“It feels like such an honor.”
But Khloe obviously knows that she’s not the only mother in her family. All of her sisters except for Kendall are also moms.
And so, of course, is her dear momager.
Khloe says that her new maternal status makes her extra appreciative of the other Kardashian moms.
“Now it feels even more important to honor all the amazing women in my family!”
If you guessed that this Mother’s Day talk was a segue into suggesting that fans might want to purchase some of Khloe’s clothing line … congratulations.
Not everything on Khloe’s list of suggested Mother’s Day items is from her Good American brand. But the hoodie sure is.
She also recommends a kimono, a digital photo frame, and rose soap petals. (That last one, I’m going to be honest, fills me with indescribable dread)
The price range goes from about $ 10 to nearly $ 600. So it depends upon how much you love your mom. (Kidding!)
Honestly? The whole post feels like it was written in March. It’s not just that she doesn’t mention Tristan Thompson’s cheating, but the tone doesn’t even suggest that anything is out of the ordinary.
Obviously, in real life, this has to be a very emotionally complicated time for Khloe.
On the one hand, she’s a new mother with a newborn daughter who isn’t even a month old.
On the other, Khloe has been humiliated all across the world. Her baby daddy has reportedly been cheating on her with five other women.
(And those are just the ones of which the public is aware; some speculate that Thompson may have had a woman in every port, so to speak)
Gearing up for Mother’s Day when you’re uncertainty about your future with your baby daddy cannot be easy.
You know what’s even more complicated than Mother’s Day?
Father’s Day is coming up in June. How do you celebrate that under these circumstances. Do you celebrate it?
Fans have been waiting for when Khloe takes her baby and leaves Tristan and Cleveland in the dust for L.A. … and it is rumored that Khloe plans to do just that before Mother’s Day rolls around.
But that gives her, like, a week and a half to leave. Even if the doctor leaves her behind, is she emotionally prepared to make that journey?
Because many will see her leaving Cleveland for Calabasas as her saying goodbye, forever, to the life that she had imagined that she would lead with Tristan.
Kim may have cut ties with Tristan, but for Khloe, this is a lot harder. She’s grieving a lot, and it’s probably hard to let go.
We absolutely wish Khloe a happy Mother’s Day. We only wish that it were under better circumstances.
There’s no good time to find out that your baby daddy’s penis has been taking a semester off to explore new experiences, but the literal day before you go into labor, two days before you give birth, has to be among the worst.
As she and her mother and all of her sisters except for Kendall prepare for Mother’s Day …
(Don’t feel bad for Kendall; she has her horses)
… They have to all be wishing that things were a little different. Khloe is certainly not the only one of them who has been disappointed by her baby daddy.

This Was Awkward: Alison Brie is Asked About James Franco...
Alison Brie could not fully celebrate her achievements at the 2018 SAG Awards on Sunday night.
The actress was nominated for her fantastic role in the Netflix series GLOW, while the comedy itself was nominated as well for a cast ensemble award.
But Brie was forced to address a certain controversy surrounding her family before she entered the Shrine Auditorium.
As you"ve likely read about by now, James Franco has been accused of sexual misconduct by five different women.
In one instance, an alleged victim claims Franco pulled his penis out in front of her; in another, an alleged victim claims he removed the cloth over her vagina for an oral sex scene that was being filmed.
Pretty heinous stuff, if true.
Brie, meanwhile, is married to Franco"s brother, Dave.
So she has a personal stake in this scandal.
Therefore, E!"s Giuliana Rancic simply had to ask the actress for her thoughts on the SAG Awards red carpet.
“What we’ve always said is that it remains vital that anyone who feels victimized should and does have the right to speak out and come forward,” replied Brie, adding:
“I obviously support my family and not everything that’s been reported is fully accurate, so I think we’re waiting to get all the information.
"But, of course, now is a time for listening and that’s what we’re all trying to do.”
Franco is reportedly in a very bad place as a result of these accusations.
But not many people out there have sympathy for him.
At the Women"s March over the weekend, for example, Scarlett Johansson went right after her fellow A-Lister.
"My mind baffles – how could a person publicly stand by an organization that helps to provide support for victims of sexual assault while privately preying on people who have no power," the star said at a podium in Los Angeles, concluding with anger:
"I want my pin back by the way."
Her rep later confirmed that Johansson was talking about Franco.
The actor"s lawyer has denied all accusations against his client.
But it"s safe to assume this story is not going away any time soon.
Click on the video below to see Brie"s full answer, which begins around the 90-second mark.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry: Bracing For an Awkward Thanksgiving?
Well, it’s that time of year again.
On Thursday, millions of Americans will gather to spew mouthfuls of mashed potato at their loved ones as they get all red in the face at the sight of kneeling football players.
Thanksgiving can be especially daunting if you’re half of a new or newly engaged couple, as you may wind up getting raked over the coals by relatives you’re meeting for the first time, or ones who are just now taking you seriously because there’s a ring on your finger.
Are royals exempt from this sort of awkward encounter?
Well, usually yes, since they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving in the U.K.
But Harry fell in love with an American, which means many of his future Novembers will be spent in confusion over why a holiday that supposedly celebrates gratitude and togetherness is now synonymous with politically-charged vitriolic debate.
Fortunately, the couple will be spared any discussion of whose family to spend the holiday with, as Harry’s kin is understandably not on board with a holiday that celebrates the act of fleeing England.
Meghan has much to be grateful for this season, as not only will she soon be royalty (She’s not officially engaged to Harry yet, but insiders say it’s only a matter of time.), she also made a major career change recently.
After eight seasons and countless–we’re guessing lawsuits?–Meghan has bid farewell to the show that made her famous-ish.
Yes, Markle has quit Suits, and sources say her emotional last day of filming took place last week.
“Meghan was supposed to wrap by the end of Wednesday but, for whatever reason, she ended up having to work Thursday morning in Toronto,” a source tells E! News.
So now she’s through with work obligations and free to focus on her royal future.
Many fans are wondering if Harry will be joining Meghan and her family for his first stateside Thanksgiving.
Not surprisingly, the answer is … no one really knows.
Insiders say Harry is planning to join Meghan in LA, but that hasn’t been confirmed by any sort of royal schedule.
Whatever the case, Markle will reportedly be making yet another major change in her life immediately following the holiday.
“It’ll then be time for Meghan to move to London and into Harry’s place,” the insider says of Meh’s Black Friday agenda.
We’re hoping Harry will be joining the Markle clan and trying to make sense of American football on Thursday, but if he opts out, that may be for the best.
According to an Australian historian, the holiday has special meaning to Meghan, as one of her ancestors was a founder of the Massachusetts community of Nantucket.
That fellow–who we assume starred on the colonial version of Suits entitled Waistcoats–had a great-great-great-grandfather who was beheaded by Harry’s most notorious royal forebear, Henry VIII.
Could make for some awkward dinner table convo.
And you were worried about your MAGA-hat wearing uncle butting heads with your Bernie Bro cousin who’s back from his first semester at art school.

Megyn Kelly Wraps Up Awful Week With Awkward Jab at Critics
Well, it’s Friday, and no doubt many of our readers are wrapping up tough weeks at work.
But folks, rest assured that no matter how many presentations you botched or flasks you were caught sipping from during important meetings (Susan in accounting is so damn judgemental!), you almost certainly didn’t have as terrible a week as Megyn Kelly.
It’s hard to overstate just how hard Megyn bombed in her first week hosting the second hour of Today.
It’s looking more and more like Kelly’s move to NBC will be remembered as the media equivalent of Crystal Pepsi – a costly corporate misstep that left the masses shaking their heads in disbelief that the big guys at the top could be so clueless.
But before we get to the awkward interviews, the savage Twitter roastings, and the on-camera cursing, let’s briefly recap how Megyn went from Fox News firebrand to perma-grinning Savannah Guthrie impersonator.
Kelly signed on with NBC back in January amidst continued shakeups and scandals at Fox.
Many wondered how the politically-neutral-ish network would use Kelly, who made a name for herself as a mouthpiece for the far-right.
And now it looks as though execs were equally unsure of where the 46-year-old would fit into their lineup.
She started out with a 60 Minutes-style Sunday night newsmagazine, and while Kelly’s ratings were decent, her interviews with Alex Jones and Vladimir Putin drew widespread condemnation from her media colleagues.
Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly is currently on hiatus, and its future is uncertain.
But that’s fine, because Kelly is totally done with politics, anyway!
Or at least that’s what she told her audience during her opening segment on Today Monday morning.
Unfortunately for Megyn, it seems she was a much better fit in the political arena than in the world of weekday morning perk-peddling.
The blunders started early and happened often.
First, Megyn asked a Will & Grace fan if watching the show “made [him] gay.”
(Series star Debra Messing later denounced Kelly’s comments.)
One day later, she got roasted by Jane Fonda for questioning the revered actress about plastic surgery in front of a live audience.
“Given the fact that we don’t have a lot of time and [Robert Redford] is right here, it’s a weird thing to bring up – whether I’ve had plastic surgery or not,” Fonda said after the interview.
“I have and I’ve talked about it. Seemed like the wrong time and place to ask that question,” the actress concluded.
The slip-ups and awkward moments were so plentiful that a cameraman saying “sh-t” live on the air barely attracted any media attention.
Kelly may have cut ties with the political world, but she’s brought the living nightmare/trainwreck vibe of Washington in 2017 to morning television.
She’s basically delivering the Trump administration of morning talk shows.
This morning, Kelly attempted to make amends and essentially ask for a re-do with a closing monologue that’s already being torn apart on social media:
“I just want to take a moment to thank all of you so much for watching this week. It’s been very exciting. It has been educational. I’ve just been so delighted that the media response, which has really — no,” she told her audienc in an attempt at humor.
“But the viewer response has been awesome, and I am so grateful to have all of you giving us a chance.”
For the record, the audience response had not been “awesome,” at least not according to the ratings, which have been in steady decline since Monday.
It may be time for both Kelly and NBC to cut their losses.

Joseph Duggar & Kendra Caldwell Endure Most Awkward Date Ever
If you’re a fan of the Duggar family, then by now you’ve probably heard the news that Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell are married.
Relationships evolve rapidly in the Duggars’ world (Tell teenagers they can’t have sex until they’re married and watch how fast they propose.), which means the family’s reality show, Counting On, is just now documenting the early days of Joseph and Kendra’s relationship.
And man, were those ever some awkward days for the lovebirds.
Monday’s episode of Counting On gave fans a look at Joe and Kendra’s first date.
Now, first dates are often nerve-racking affairs, but in the Duggars case they’re doubly so.
For one thing, the luckiest you can get is a good luck “side-hug” (all other forms of physical contact were forbidden to Joseph and Kendra).
On top of that, datin’ Duggars are required to employ the services of chaperones, who usually come from within the family.
Yes, that means you go on a date with a dude, and he brings his younger brothers.
Every. Single. Time.
For their first date, Joseph and Kendra chose to go rollerblading, because apparently it’s still 1992 in Tontitown.
We kid, we kid.
It’s a fun, wholesome activity, and blah, blah, blah.
Besides the decision to go rollerblading doesn’t crack the top 100 on the lost of things that are weird about this date.
They were joined by 16-year-old James Duggar and 13-year-old Jackson Duggar.
Explaining that he considers himself “a professional chaperone,” James filled his younger brother in on their duties:
“The responsibility of a chaperone is to make sure they don’t do things they’re not supposed to do, like …” he began, before trailing off.
It’s then that Jackson chimes in, saying, “I know two of them – no holding hands and no kissing!”
Thankfully, the list ended there.
We don’t think we could endure the awkwardness of a 13-year-old explaining that sexual intercourse is purely for procreation purposes.
Obviously, it all worked out, and it’s currently rumored that Joseph and Kendra are expecting their first child.
But man, that was one awkward first date.
Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial reality show.

Josh & Jim Bob Duggar Pay Awkward Tribute to Michelle Duggar On Her Birthday
Michelle Duggar turned 51 this week, and as in years past, the Duggar children fought to outdo one another in paying public tribute to their beloved mother.
Hey, we guess the upside of having 19 kids is that birthdays and Mother’s Day are full-blown gift bonanzas.
Anyway, Michelle’s birthday is always a big deal in Duggarville for obvious reasons.
Not only did she bring a small army into the world, but at this point, Michelle is basically the most scandal-free adult in the Duggar clan these days.
As we said, the Duggars went all out in their contest to prove who loves Michelle the most, and fans believe a clear winner has emerged.
But first, the runners-up:
If you know anything about them, you’re probably aware that the Duggars have very strict rules about sex (read: Unless it results in a baby, they pretty much think it’s the devil’s business).
And what does that have to do with Michelle’s birthday?
Well, husband Jim Bob decided to mark the occasion by showing the world that he and Michelle totally still do the sex:
Unfortunately, he was about as convincing as the kid in your high school with the Canadian model girlfriend no one’s ever met.
Look at that awkward embrace at the end!
That is a kiss between two people who haven’t seen one another’s genitals in a very long time.
Speaking of folks who make you cringe just by being alive, Josh Duggar also paid video tribute to Michelle.
As you probably know, Josh isn’t allowed on his family’s reality show, what with being an admitted sexual predator and all.
But that doesn’t mean he won’t take opportunities like this to show the world he’s still camera-ready.
At this point, Michelle was probably just praying for her birthday to come to an end.
Fortunately, Jessa Duggar came through with a blog post that received heaps of praise from fans of the family:
“You let us make forts in the living room using couch cushions, sheets, and dining chairs. We saw you take joy in our childlike joy and laughter, and we saw Jesus in you,” she wrote.
“I remember the smell of the perfume you wore when I was little, and it is still one of my favorites to this day because it reminds me of you,” Jessa continued.
“We girls always felt so grown up when you would let us wear it on special occasions. I remember us begging you to do our hair just like yours, and we would beam as daddy would tell us “You’re beautiful– just like your Mama!’”
Michelle liked the post so much she shared on the Duggars’ official Facebook page.
We guess there’s no question about who the favorite kid is this week.
We knew it was never gonna be Josh, but we thought maybe Jana had a chance?
Of course, she was probably too busy scrubbing dishes to pen a loving tribute to Michelle.

The Bachelorette Recap: The Men Tell All & It"s Awkward as Hell
The Bachelorette: Men Tell All special aired Monday on ABC, and the obligatory two hours of filler leading up to the finale lived up to its billing.
That being filler. Mostly.
You don’t need The Bachelorette spoilers to know how this works: Rachel and the men reflect on the season so far. That’s about it.
One thing that made this year’s Men Tell All stand out, though, was Lee Garrett, who Chris Harrison and the other men really took to task.
Lee’s racist behavior was a major focal point of the season before the talk turned to Rachel Lindsay’s final three and Bachelorette spoilers.
Garrett had a lot of explaining to do, and he started out trying reasonably hard, admitting that Kenny never dragged him out of a van.
The other guys, he admitted, were right in pointing out the things he did wrong. But then Chris read off Lee’s racist tweets and whoa.
His responses were just not cutting it.
“I don’t like racism at all,” Lee said.
“It bothers me morally, it bothers me inside. I don’t like it, and when I woke up and I saw that those came out, it hurt me a lot.”
So it bothered him when the tweets came out? Later, he sort of apologized while sortof acknowledging what he was apologizing for.
Better than nothing, we suppose.
“I’m sorry for saying things when I was not educated and ignorant in those subjects,” he eventually said, then apologized to Rachel.
“I took a situation that was very important to you and very important to a lot of people, and I didn’t take that initiative to learn.”
“I watched it and just, goodness.”
Rachel’s other suitors, including Whaboom and Blake, also made an appearance, and for that, we apologize. Just for having to discuss it.
DeMario Jackson referred to his girlfriend, who showed up on the show as a “side chick,” admitting he knew her and sort of dated her.
But it wasn’t really dating, you know?! He made a reference to Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky somehow, which did not help his cause.
Then there was Kenny. The producers brought out his daughter, he cried, and he weighed in on nearly every situation going on Monday.
He was very popular.
Finally, Dean Unglert did a lot of talking and received a lot of cheers as well, making us wonder about those Dean is The Bachelor rumors.
Of course, Dean is also headed to Bachelor in Paradise, which could further cement his reputation as a fan favorite, or ruin it altogether.
With that show, it can go either way; Bachelor mainstays have seen their images ruined, or in Nick Viall’s case, completely rejuvenated.

Ryan Edwards: See His Unbearably Awkward Wedding to Mackenzie Standifer!
If you"re a Teen Mom fan, then you probably know that the life of Ryan Edwards has been one great big hot mess for a while now.
For the past couple of seasons now, Ryan has seemed to be high on something during his segments, and now we know that"s because he was high.
While we don"t know exactly what drugs he"s been taking, we know that he developed a very serious problem — serious enough that Maci Bookout was afraid he"d die from his addiction.
We also know that the drugs seemed to severely impact any and all decision-making skills he may have had.
Why else would he agree to marry his fiancee, Mackenzie Standifer, right before he left for rehab?
They had a big wedding all booked for November, but for some reason, they thought it was a good idea to just go ahead and get hitched before shipping Ryan off to work on his drug problem.
And, as we see in this sneak peek for tomorrow"s Teen Mom OG season finale, it was not a good idea at all.
We"ve discussed the details of this wedding already, but to actually see it … well, it sure is something.
For one, the wedding venue seems to be in a parking lot down by the river.
Mackenzie is dressed in a formal wedding dress while Ryan wears a nice blue shirt and some khakis.
The only guests were Ryan"s parents and his dog — neither Bentley, Ryan"s son, or Mackenzie"s son were there for the ceremony.
And when Ryan"s father, Larry, asked them how they were going to tell Bentley about the wedding, Mackenzie quickly replied with "We"re not."
… Sorry?
"I don"t think we"re going to, Dad," Ryan adds. "If he does find out, we"re gonna sit him down."
Bentley is definitely old enough to understand how weddings work and to be hurt that he wasn"t included, and also this wedding was filmed for national television.
Do they really think he"s not going to find out?
Ryan"s mother, Jen, sobs onto her husband"s shoulder just before the vows are exchanged, which seems like a good omen.
"Mama, it don"t matter if there"s 100 people or two people, it just matters as long as we love each other," Ryan says in an attempt to comfort her.
He adds that "It"s best for Bentley," but again, that doesn"t really make a whole lot of sense.
As Mackenzie stands on, looking pretty unconcerned about her soon-to-be mother-in-law, Jen points out that "The most important people aren"t here."
Ryan tells her that "they will be," which we"re assuming means that everyone will be at the big wedding in November, so it"s fine to have this parking lot affair now.
After he"s done comforting his mother, he kisses her on the lips twice, which … OK.
The pastor arrives next, and introduces himself to everyone, then instructs Ryan and Mackenzie to hold hands "like you like each other."
During the vows, it kind of looks like Ryan is nodding off behind his sunglasses, and kids play in the background.
Not Ryan or Mackenzie"s kids, just some random kids that happened to be there in the parking lot at the same time as the wedding.
It"s all very, very strange. And it still doesn"t make sense.
Why wouldn"t they just wait until November, when everything would be planned and ready and Ryan would have a chance at being sober?
Is Mackenzie pregnant? Did Ryan need her insurance for rehab? Why is this even happening?
Watch the whole uncomfortable thing in the video below:
