Catelynn Lowell: SLAMMED By Fans For "Selfish" and "Unsafe" Behavior


Catelynn Lowell has endured a number of hardships and setbacks in recent years, and the honesty with which she"s addressed these struggles has made her a favorite amongst Teen Mom OG viewers.


But the show documents every part of its stars" lives, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before fans began to see aspects of Catelynn"s character that they didn"t find quite so endearing.


Many feel that the current season of Teen Mom OG has portrayed Catelynn in an unflattering light.


Some have even accused of her endangering her unborn baby.


Here"s what viewers have to say about the new and not-so-improved Catelynn Lowell:


 




1. Better Days

For years, Lowell was regarded as one of the most down-to-earth and relatable stars of the Teen Mom franchise.



2. Hard Times

Fans rooted for her as she endured mental health issues, a tragic miscarriage, and other issues that put her marriage and her psyche to the test.



3. The Baltierra Bond

Catelynn and Tyler have endured difficulties that would have driven any young couple to the brink of divorce, but they’ve stuck by one another throughout. Or have they?



4. An Uneven Partnership

Part of the reason Catelynn is receiving so much blowback this season is that viewers believe she’s failing to properly support Tyler the way he’s supported her in the past.



5. The Low Point

In the past, Tyler happily assumed the majority of the parental responsibilities while Catelynn checked in for extended stays at in-patient treatment facilities on two separate occasions.



6. Failing Her Family?

Now, some fans feel that Catelynn is not only neglecting her husband’s needs as he attends to his own mental health issues, she’s also failing to keep up with her own treatment.

Shaun Weiss, Ex-Mighty Ducks Star, Arrested for Bizarre Behavior

How the Mighty have fallen.


Literally and depressingly so.


Shaun Weiss, the child actor who portrayed goalie Greg Goldberg in The Mighty Duck film franchise, was arrested over the weekend for public intoxication. 



According to TMZ, People Magazine and other outlets, Weiss was allegedly high on drugs and acting very strangely with a flashlight at the time he was taken into custody.


He was picked up by police officers who discovered Weiss and a trio of othermen outside of a closed business complex in Oroville, California.


After speaking with the others in his contigent, authorities determined that Weiss had to have been on some kind of controlled substance.


The ex-actor was held behind bars for a few hours until he sobered up and was then released without charges.


Reports indicate that Weiss was “witty” while in custody and no blood sample has been ordered.


It sounds like Weiss caught a break and will not face any legal repercussion for his bizarre and possibly dangerous actions.

The star was also arrested last year possession of meth.


That incident came just five days after he had been sentenced to 150 days in jail for stealing $ 151 worth of stuff from an electronics store.


He spent just 12 days at the time behind bars due to overcrowding, with his manager saying the stint would serve as a wake-up call for the actor.


Sadly, though, this appears to not have been the case.


In a Facebook post, the Oroville Police Department said Weiss was arrested on suspicion of “intoxication only” and “no further criminal proceedings are desired at this time.”


Still, it’s his depressed and disheveled mug shot that has fans concerned.

“Of all the depressing mugshots in all the world, this one hit me the hardest,” one social media user wrote in response to the photo above.


Added another:


“Seeing pictures of Shaun Weiss are really sad. I grew up loving The Mighty Ducks and even to this day my friends and I make Goldberg references. I hope he gets the support and help he needs.”


And another:


“Damn, this is really sad. #ShaunWeiss was such a talented actor in his day. I knew of Weiss from his hilarious role in Heavyweights before I saw him in Mighty Ducks and Freaks and Geeks. I hope he finds #recovery soon.”


We strongly agree.


In addition to the Mighty Ducks franchise, which featured three popular installments, Weiss also has had roles in Heavyweights, Freaks and Geeks, The King of Queens and The Tony Danza Show.

Kanye West: Having Explosive Fights With Kris Jenner Over Erratic Behavior?

Lately, fans have been concerned that Kanye West has lost his mind. Reports say that even his family fears that he’s on the verge of another mental breakdown.


But on top of the news that he’s cutting people out of his life comes something more startling.


Whatever’s going on with him has allegedly driven Kanye to do the unthinkable: clash with his momager-in-law.



People reports that Kanye and Kim’s mother are not getting along.


“He’s had huge blow-ups with Kris.”


(I absolutely cannot imagine arguing with Kris Jenner under any circumstances)


“She sees how erratic he’s acting and is most concerned about her daughter’s brand.”


That sounds very, very Kris. And she’s right — Kanye’s behavior makes Kim look bad.


“She’s also trying to be a good mother-in-law, so he’s having explosive issues with her too.”


That is alarming to hear.


“Everyone is really, really worried.”



But not everyone is worried. Another source says that his recent behavior isn’t anything out of the ordinary … for Kanye.


“A lot of this is just Kanye. He’s always been like that.”


It is true that Kanye is infamous for his lack of impulse-control.


Many of those who don’t really listen to his genre of music first heard of him in 2009, when he usurped Taylor Swift’s time at the microphone at the VMAs.


It’s that kind of nonsense on which he has built his brand.


As the source says: “He stirs the pot.”


He sure does.



“Kim is trying to control him and the situation, but he can’t be controlled.”


That much is clear.


“She’s trying her best to support him on social media and show a different side of things, but it’s just not working.”


Unfortunately, it seems that Kanye’s famous ego may be his own undoing.


“He genuinely believes he’s God and a genius and that he can do everything on his own.”


This report claims that his estimation of Kim isn’t quite as high as his estimation of himself.


“He has a great love for Kim, but in his mind he doesn’t think Kim is a genius.”


Ouch.


“And he’s telling her he knows what he’s doing”



Kanye’s egomania and total lack of impulse control may be reminiscent in the minds of many to Trump, whom Kanye apparently once claimed to “love.”


But Kanye is unlike Trump in a couple of major ways. For one thing, he didn’t just inherit his wealth and he’s genuinely successful. For another, he doesn’t pose a clear and present danger to the world.


But also, as a source mentions, Kanye’s wife actually loves him. That can make a huge difference.


The source says that Kim’s tweets aren’t to counter Kanye, but to signal that things are good between them.


“It’s more like [she’s saying] ‘You guys are off."”


The source emphasizes that Kim is Team!Kanye, all the way.


“She is always loving towards Kanye, always concerned with whatever he’s concerned about, always in his corner.”



“It’s very hard to deal with. He’s all over the place. If you can’t be part of his creative genius, he’ll cut you loose. That’s what he says.”


Another source disagrees, however, and asserts:


“That’s part of being Kanye. He’s willing to take risks with his public persona. He doesn’t take it as serious as the internet takes it.”


So, basically, some people are insisting that this is just business as usual for Kanye. Others worry that this is above-and-beyond what’s normal for Kanye and that he’s headed for another breakdown.


Who is right?


We may find out before too long. We just hope that he comes out of this alright.


And if that’s what he wants, too, we’d advise that he listen to the people who love him.


… And also that he not argue with Kris Jenner. Ever.

Ryan Edwards: Is Mackenzie Standifer Responsible for His Drug Use and Violent Behavior?


It"s been a good long while since the Teen Mom franchise had a villain as universally hated as Mackenzie Standifer.


Which is really something when you consider the kind of literal trash MTV has shown us over the years.


Seriously, this is a show that"s featured the likes of Adam Lind, Nathan Griffith, David Eason, Matt Baier, Catelynn Lowell"s mom … the list of horrible people goes on and on.


But nope, Mackenzie is the real monster here.


Believe it or not, many people actually think that, and with all of Ryan Edwards" recent issues, people are hating on her more than ever.


Why?


Let"s discuss.




1. Mr. and Mrs. Edwards


Mackenzie standifer with ryan edwards

OK, so Ryan and Mackenzie met somehow, somewhere — she says they met at the gym, but who even knows — they quickly got engaged, and though they were planning a wedding for November of 2017, they up and got hitched in a parking lot by the river last May first.



2. Red Flags, Girl


Mackenzie standifer ryan edwards

She said that they were getting married to help him gain more custody of Bentley, which didn’t make sense, but what was really alarming was that he drove them to that little wedding high on heroin.



3. Noooooo


Mackenzie standifer and ryan edwards

Teen Mom fans weren’t too fond of Mackenzie before that — in an earlier episode that season, we saw her go behind Maci’s back to trash her to Ryan and his parents — but when she turned off the cameras instead of taking control of that horrible situation, the hate really started going strong.



4. 525,600 Minutes


Mackenzie standifer screen cap

But then on the reunion special when Mackenzie read an open letter to Maci, basically blaming her for Ryan’s addiction … well, that’s when she pretty much set herself up for a lifetime of loathing.



5. Just Stop, Mack


Ryan edwards mackenzie standifer photo

This current season of Teen Mom OG started off at that very reunion, and Mackenzie’s been digging her hole deeper ever since. She keeps obsessing over Maci in a really immature, catty way, and it’s definitely not been a good look for her.



6. There’s a Line


Mackenzie and ryan edwards

But while she’s undoubtedly obnoxious and not very likable, she’s been getting just an insanely massive amount of criticism now that Ryan’s whole entire life is falling apart.

Ryan Edwards: Gun Obsession, History of Erratic Behavior Exposed


If you"ve been following the latest news surrounding Teen Mom OG star Ryan Edwards, you know things are not going well for Maci Bookout"s troubled ex.


It all started last week, when Ryan got arrested for a probation violation.


From there, he fell onto a disastrous downward spiral that culminated in Maci filing for an order of protection to prevent Ryan from having any contact with her or her family.


Her filing revealed that Edwards had threatened to kill her husband, Taylor McKinney, and now we know that"s not the only time he"s displayed truly troubling behavior in recent years…




1. A Troubled Man

Ryan’s year-long descent into chaos began when he fell victim to heroin addiction last year. Teen Mom OG fans watched in horror as the father of one repeatedly gambled with his life.



2. The First Rock Bottom


Mackenzie standifer ryan edwards

Ryan lost consciousness while driving to the church for his wedding to Mackenzie Standifer. He checked into rehab shortly thereafter, and for a while, it looked as though his life was on the upswing.



3. Bad Omens

Unfortunately, Ryan left rehab ahead of schedule. He then demonstrated that he was still grappling with many of his old demons when he launched a bizarre social media tirade against Maci.



4. A Second Chance


Ryan edwards mackenzie standifer photo

Ryan and Mackenzie held a second wedding to make up for their disastrous first attempt. Fans were stunned to see Ryan drinking beer and downing shots prior to the ceremony.



5. A Secret Arrest

Ryan and Mackenzie did a surprisingly good job of pretending that all was well, but little did we know, their lives were unraveling behind the scenes. In April of 2017, Ryan was arrested for heroin possession, but the couple managed to keep the matter a secret – both from fans and from Maci.



6. The Past Bites Back

That arrest came back to haunt Ryan this week when he was arrested again, this time for an undisclosed probation violation. Now, his worst nightmares are coming true, as his life falls apart in front of all the world.

Verne Troyer Hospitalized for Suicidal Behavior, Alcohol Poisoning

Verne Troyer is an actor, stunt performer, and a comedian. Also, he once filmed a guy getting tasered at the airport. He’s a treat to follow on social media.


Unfortunately, he’s now been placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold after his loved ones worried that he might take his own life.


His team has released a statement.



TMZ reports that, on Monday night, police rushed to Verne Troyer’s home upon learning that the actor was allegedly suicidal.


The actor and comedian, who is known for many roles but is perhaps most recognizable for having portrayed Mini Me in Austin Powers, was reportedly also extremely upset and drunk.


His friends were concerned, and placed a call to police at 7:30 in the evening.


Troyer was taken the hospital for possible alcohol poisoning, and is under a 72-hour observation.


His team posted a message on Instagram.




Verne Troyer Message April 2018


They know that many fans keep up with the news and would eventually see the report about Troyer.


“Asking you to keep Verne in your thoughts and prayers.”


Of course.


“He’s getting the best care possible and is resting comfortably.”


That is very good to hear. This is a frightening situation.


“Appreciate the support from family, friends, and fans around the world.”


And they say that they’ll tell people more once they know more.


“We will keep you updated here.”



Sadly, as fans of Verne Troyer are all too aware, this is not the first time that he has had difficulties with his health.


It was almost exactly one year ago — on April 6th, 2017 — when he shared a grim message about his struggles with alcohol.


“I’ve been hearing from some concerned fans,” he wrote on Instagram. “So I’d like to address a very personal situation.”


And he is aware that fans are familiar with his history.


“As you know, I’ve battled alcohol addiction in the past.”




Verne Troyer Message April 2017


“While it’s not always been an easy fight, I’m willing to continue my fight day by day.”


That’s good. A willingness to wrestle with your own inner demons is a sure sign that there’s hope for your recovery.


“I’ve been receiving treatment for the last week and I am voluntarily checking into a treatment center later this week to continue to get the help that I need.”


It’s so good that he’s taking the necessary steps. Also kind of him to update his fans and followers.


“I want to thank everyone that’s reached out with their messages of support.”


Widespread support can mean a lot, even to a celebrity.


“It truly means the world to me.”



“With your support, I got this,” he concluded.


Unfortunately, not quite a year later, it sounds like he’s suffered a serious relapse.


We all wish Verne Troyer a speedy recovery — but we hope that he’s able to take the steps that he needs to make this recovery last, no matter how long it might take.


He is 49 years old, and we hope that he’s around for many more years. For his fans, but also for himself and his loved ones.

James Kennedy: Should He Be Fired From Vanderpump Rules For Abusive Behavior?

The current season of Vanderpump Rules certainly hasn’t been light on drama.


Jax cheating on Brittany; the Toms attempting to make a name for themselves in the restaurant business; Stassi transforming into a tequila-and-Adderall-fueled zombie at her own birthday party


It’s all enough to make you wonder why producers felt the need to bring back the show’s most justly-reviled cast member, James Kennedy.



Aside from a tenuous friendship with Lala Kent, James has no real connection to the rest of the cast.


It would’ve been the perfect time for show to cut ties with Kennedy, but in order to ensure things remained lively for viewers in the sixth season (a time when many reality series begin to show their age), producers welcomed James and his abusive tendencies back.


And the decision points to what will likely become a growing problem for reality TV showrunners in the #MeToo era.


In an age when some of TV’s best known villains aren’t reading from scripts, the behavior of people like James puts their bosses in a tough spot:


At what point does the obligation to maintain a safe work environment supersede the desire to deliver compelling television?



In his two seasons as a full-time cast member on Vanderpump we’ve seen James degrade multiple women as “sluts” and “whores,” shove his hand in the face of a former sex partner whom he had recently derided (in Trump-like fashion) for being too ugly to sleep with, and spit at an ex-girlfriend who was imploring him to leave her home.


Not exactly lovable anti-hero stuff.


In recent weeks, James has turned his attention to “friend” and frequent victim Lala Kennedy, who seems to have finally become fed up with his erratic outbursts and unwelcome sexual advances.


On last night’s episode of Vanderpump, James groped Lala in front of his girlfriend before turning on her and subjecting her to a drunken tirade.



All of this comes on the heels of Kennedy repeatedly slut-shaming Kent and accusing her of sleeping with an older man for money.


After the show aired, Kent appeared on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live, where she responded to a question what she gains from her friendship with James in a way that offers hope that she’s finally cut him loose.


“You know what, my love? That is a great question, and I have just recently realized [he adds] nothing,” Kent said.


“So, that’s what it is.”


The remark came after a preview of next week’s Vanderpump, in which James yet again becomes enraged over Kent’s relationship with Randall Emmett.



“If I had been that billionaire successful DJ, she would have definitely come along for the ride. Her man was the guy that had all of that, so she went running along with him. Do I think that could have happened? Absolutely,” Kennedy said in the clip.


“You know Ray J hit it first before [Kanye West], right?” James added, likening himself to Kanye.


James’ behavior comes smack in the middle of what has already been a deeply problematic season for the show.


Allegations of racism against Stassi Schroeder have led to several deeply uncomfortable moments and even some questions about the show’s future.


At this point, it seems the best thing Bravo can do to preserve its reputation as one of the more woke networks on television is to permanently sever its relationship with James Kennedy.


Watch Vanderpump Rules online to get caught up on the show’s most troubling season to date.

Kelly Clarkson Accused of Diva Behavior on The Voice

It seems like just yesterday that we were hearing who won Season 13 of The Voice, but Season 14 will be here before you know it.


This year, Kelly Clarkson is joining the The Voice as one of the coaches.


But … apparently things aren’t all smiles behind the scenes. In fact, a report claims that Clarkson is a total diva backstage and almost impossible to work with.



35-year-old Kelly Clarkson first rose to fame on the inaugural season of American Idol.


From her humble, “white trash” beginnings — her words — she skyrocketed to stardom with a successful music career.


As much as fans hate when Kelly Clarkson says stupid things, they love to see her shut down body-shamers in a very down-to-earth way. Mostly, they love her music.


Now, she’s joining Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Alicia Keys as a coach on The Voice.


But, according to RadarOnline‘s source, Kelly Clarkson’s alleged diva behavior is causing some tensions and unhappiness and the season hasn’t even begun to air.



Apparently, there are a number of problems.


“She’s not the person that everyone thought she was going to be.”


Based upon Kelly Clarkson’s branding, people probably expected a down-to-earth, minimal-nonsense singer with humble roots who is hesitant to bash anyone.


And the source gets pretty specific about what they got instead.


“She is bossy and argumentative.”


Apparently some of the problems began before she even walked in the door.


“The other judges, especially Blake, already had an issue with her.”



That issue, it seems, was financial in nature.


“Because of the amount of money they reportedly paid her to join the cast.”


But it goes beyond the bottom line and extends to promos.


“One of the main issues is that producers are making Kelly a central focus on everything.”


This sounds familiar.


“And she is also taking center stage on all of the promos that are being shot so far.”


You know how Kate Mulgrew was famously unhappy with how Jeri Ryan become front-and-center on every billboard and ad for Star Trek: Voyager back in the ’90s?


This sounds like that same kind of resentment — but with personality issues to make things personal.



The source goes on to list Kelly Clarkson’s other alleged grating habits.


“She comes in when she wants to.”


Oooh, that’s never good. And very diva.


“She seems to think that it is all one big game.”


I mean, it is literally a talent competition. It’s a game.


(But we get their meaning, here — her alleged behavior is unprofessional to an off-putting degree)



“At the same time, she is overly certain that she will win this season.”


Cavalier and cocky at the same time? Yikes.


“Of course Blake is irritated with Kelly! Everyone is.”


Blake’s come up more than once, perhaps because we’ve heard some things about Blake Shelton’s alleged diva behavior, too.


It sounds like they both need a dose of reality. They’re on The Voice. Nobody gets to put on airs when they’re judging a reality series. No matter how much they’re getting paid.

Jessa Duggar: Mom-Shamed Over Spurgeon"s Bad Behavior

Mom-shaming the Duggars seems to be one of the internet’s favorite pastimes these days.


The ladies just can’t do anything right in the eyes of some of their “fans,” and the parenting experts of social media have been happily doling out their wisdom and advice at every opportunity.



Lately, it’s Jessa Duggar who’s been the favorite target of Instagram mom-shamers.


Just last week, Jessa was slammed for her failure to properly homeschool her kids.


The Duggars educate their children in-house, and based on a short video of 2-year-old Spurgeon standing near a whiteboard with some misspelled words, some of Jessa’s IG followers determined that she’s not up to the task.


This week, it’s Spurgeon’s behavior that’s under fire, and the evidence is just as dubious.


Jessa recently posted the photo below on her page, along with a lengthy description of a humorous incident:



“Out shopping for groceries – AND – a new phone for Dad, since the 2-year-old did an experiment of sink or swim… in the toilet,” she wrote.


“It did not swim.”


Jessa even gave fans a hilarious snippet of dialogue to really set the scene:


“Mommy, fix it!” “Umm…did you spill water?” Ben: There’s water on the rim of the toilet.” she wrote.


“Screen was black. Phone was boiling hot and completely fried,” Jessa added.


“Ha! Parents can attest, sometimes you gotta laugh so you don’t cry. Can’t stay mad for more than a sec tho… he’s such a cute little stinker!”



Not surprisingly, the shamers came out in force for this one.


Most simply lobbed half-hearted criticism at Jessa, accusing her of failing to properly discipline her children.


But one follower shared a story about the dangers of neglect with a potentially tragic outcome: 


“I’m just sending out a warning that it takes 10 seconds for a child to drowned in a toilet and I know this from personal experience so yes if he was allowed to be in there with the toilet seat open unattended that they didn’t know what he was doing I feel the need to give a fair warning,” the fan wrote.


We’re sure Jessa doesn’t mind real advice that comes from a place of genuine concern.


It’s the vitriolic, seething hatred that gets old in a hurry and makes one wonder why these people continue to follow her on social media.



Fortunately, for every hater, there was at least one fan willing to come to Jessa’s defense.


“It hurts my heart to scroll past some of these nasty comments above,” wrote one fan.


“You’re a great mama, don’t ever forget that.”


This is far from the first time that Jessa has shared her parenting challenges with fans in a charmingy self-deprecatin fashion.


Last year, Jessa posted photos of her messy house and was attacked in a similar fashion.


That’ll teach her to reveal details of her personal life in a forum that’s intended for that very purpose!

Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Slammed For Lavish Spending, Rude Behavior

Another day, another Duggar controversy.


This one involves the family’s least popular couple (with the possible exception of Josh and Anna), Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard.




Derick has been fired by TLC for making transphobic comments, but the move hasn’t affected the Dillards’ public profile … or their spending habits.


Despite the fact that Jill and Derick have been asking for money from fans and appear to be living on handouts these days, the couple continues to live as they did when they were the stars of a successful television series.


The Counting On cash was divided many different ways, so the Dillards weren’t fabulously wealthy, even at the height of the show’s success.


But now, as they attempt to feed two children while relying on nothing but charitable donations, it seems Jill and Derick have made no changes in their personal finances.



For example, over the weekend, Jill was a member of a friend’s wedding party.


Like the other bridesmaids, she wore gold shoes, and many fans were quick to point out that the proponent of “modest attire” likely spent a pretty penny on the fancy footwear.


The above photo was posted on Derick’s Instagram page, and like everything the former reality star does these days, it attracted a good deal of criticism:


“I’m sorry but if my husband ever bullied any child i dont think i could stand by him,” wrote one fan.


“My husband is an Officer and a Military Man he works his ASS off for his family !!! Stop being beggars and people won’t give a damn what type of shoes u wear,” commented another.


Obviously, criticizing Jill for expensive-looking shoes (that may have not actually been expensive) is a bit nit-picky, but we suppose when your money comes from fans, fans are allowed to talk trash.



And gilded heels aren’t the only questionable decision the Dillards have made in recent weeks.


Sources say Jill and Derick were spotted at the Silver Dollar City amusement park earlier this month, where they acted the part of spoiled, entitled celebrities.


Onlookers claim Derick cut lines, was rude to staff, and even rammed a stroller with his children in it into a crowd of people were standing in his way.


Not very godly behavior from a man who’s currently working to become a minister.


But don’t worry–something tells us life after reality TV will mighty humbling to Derick.


Watch Counting On online for more from the controversial Dillard clan.
