Vinny Foti, MTV"s The Challenge Alum, Hospitalized for Heart Failure

Vinny Foti, a former cast member on MTV’s The Challenge, is in desperate need of your help.


A GoFundMe campaign has been created to assist Foti after relatives announced he was hospitalized on Friday due to heart failure.



This is what the GoFundMe page dedicated to Foti reads:


Our sweet, dear friend and coworker Vinny Foti is in ICU with heart failure. He is on a ventilator and is sedated.


He is a loving father and husband. We are trying to help raise money for medical expenses and other things needed for the family.


They have two daughters ages 2yrs , and 2 months old. Please help us pull together and help this beautiful family. Please help if you can.


Foti is a 36-year old native of Boston.


His loved ones subsequently updated followers of the GoFundme page with a statement sharing his current condition, while Foti’s wife, Krista Foti, shared the awful news on Twitter.






“Thank you for the donations, shares, and likes. Our family feels really loved,” reads this message.


It continues:


“I told Vinny what was going on even though he was still sleeping. I know he appreciates everything you guys have done.


“Here’s the only update I have. They had to put another tube is his left lung to drain.


“He’s still in ICU and not getting off the ventilator for a few more days the dr said. Dr said we just got to take it day by day. I ll keep everyone posted.”


Foti may be a familiar face to MTV viewers.


He initially appeared on the Fresh Meat II season of The Challenge in 2010 and later took part in The Challenge: Season 20’s Cutthroat competition, as well as Season 22’s Battle of the Exes.


He’s been involved in reality television for years.






Among other reasons for earning a large fan base during his run on the show, Foti garnered attention for his impressive physique


“I train every day like an absolute animal and I’m ready,” he said during his first run on the hit MTV series. “I’m in peak performance shape.”


The stated goal of the GoFundMe campaign is to raise $ 20,000.


As of this writing, it had raised $ 2,280.


You may click HERE to donate.


We are sending our thoughts and prayers to Vinny Foti and his family.

Farrah Abraham on Teen Mom: HA! It"s a Failure Without Me!


Teen Mom OG returned to the air on October 1, with one very obvious change:


Farrah Abraham is no longer a cast member.


She was fired in February and replaced by two additions: Bristol Palin and Cheyenne Floyd.


How did the Season 8 premiere fare without this controversial reality star on board?


Below, we relay the opening ratings and then we share Abraham"s calm, cool and collected reaction to how the program is doing thus far without her polarizing presence…




1. The New Cast


Teen mom og season 8 cast

Here they are: Amber, Maci, Catelynn, Cheyenne and Bristol. MTV is banking on this quintet to draw in the ratings for Season 8.



2. Was the Premiere a Hit?


Newbies

Based on buzz, maybe. The Internet wrote a lot about Bristol and her marital problems. Based on ratings, however? Well…



3. Under a Million Viewers Tuned In


Newbies

According to Ratings by the Numbers, the Season 8 premiere drew in 957,000 viewers for its original airing at 9/8c on Monday, October 1.



4. Can We Compare This to The Season 7 Premiere?


Bristol and dakota

Of course. On November 27, 2017 — a premiere that featured Abraham in all her Farrah glory – 1.319 million viewers were viewing MTV to see what these women were up to.



5. As for the Season 7 Finale?


Season 7

That episode garnered 1.098 million viewers, meaning there was a pretty significant drop-off from those who were curious to see what Farrah was doing to those who tuned in for the debut of Bristol and Chyenne.



6. Was This Really a Reflection of Farrah Getting Fired?


Tyler in tears

We mean… perhaps. There’s no real way of knowing. But ratings across the board have been dropping on television as streaming services take off, viewers have more options and the use of DVR explodes.

Katy Perry: Will Her Failure as a Judge Doom American Idol?

Taylor Swift must be cackling somewhere — if she’s even bothering to pay attention to Katy anymore.


American Idol’s returned on Sunday, to mixed reactions.


One major problem, a report says, is that Katy Perry is a disastrous judge who doesn’t know what to say to contestants.



Yes, American Idol is back and Katy Perry is one of the judges.


RadarOnline reports that Katy is a disaster for the show — beyond what viewers have already seen on camera and beyond everyone’s worst fears.


“Katy Perry has been worse than anyone ever could have imagined on American Idol.


Producers were already worried after Katy’s reign as host at the 2017 VMAs fell flat, but apparently she’s even worse as a judge.


Per RadarOnline‘s source, the lines that judges say and the opinions that they espouse “absolutely aren’t scripted.”


And it sounds like Katy, though a great singer, isn’t so stellar at improv.


Or even just … speaking.



The problem seems to be that Katy doesn’t know how to give feedback.


“This is proving to be a huge issue for Katy because she literally has no clue what to say to any of the contestants.”


You can be funny or you can be helpful, but it sounds like Katy is neither.


“During auditions, Katy has appeared to be completely at a loss as to what she should say.”


When she does speak up, it doesn’t play well for the cameras.


“Her feedback and interactions with contestants are flat, and at times, very, very awkward.”


Oh, dear.



It turns out that Katy Perry allegedly has yet another issue: punctuality.


“Along with constantly being late, this is not a very good indication of the show’s reboot success.”


The source summarizes how they view the new American Idol:


“It’s a complete train wreck!”


Over time, we’ll see whether they can get Katy Perry and the show back on the right track.


(See what I did there?)



Speaking of disasters for the show, however, we should talk about Ryan Seacrest.


Recently, Ryan’s accuser spoke out and shared the details of her allegations of working as his stylist for years and enduring verbal and physical sexual harassment.


Among other things, she described him repeatedly groping her in the genitals.


In another incident, Ryan allegedly held her down on a bed while wearing only his underwear and sporting a visible erection, and only relented when another man in the room yelled at him to stop.


Though a number of fans have ignored these accusations and choose to disbelieve the woman who accuses Ryan as well as her witnesses, it’s definitely made American Idol‘s revival … awkward.



The Ryan Seacrest problem sounds like it would easily be solved by firing and replacing him, even though that, too, would be controversial.


(Some people believe the accuser and her witnesses, some people believe Ryan)


As for Katy … that’s even easier.


She needs to hire someone to write some lines for her. Pay a comedy writer $ 100,000 a season — a drop in the bucket compared to what she herself is making — and have them write some lines or even text them to her or whisper them into her earpiece.


Unless this is some sort of pride thing where Katy wants to do it herself but just can’t.


In that case, she just needs a tutor. Seriously — there’s something to be said, humorous or constructive, in response to just about anything. If you don’t know what to say about someone’s performance, compliment their pants or shoes or whatever.


Unfortunately, even if Katy suddenly becomes a masterful judge, that might not be enough to save this revival.

Jessa Duggar: Slammed For Failure to Properly Homeschool Kids!

The Duggars are obviously famous for their ability/willingness to have a whole lot of children, but they’re just as well known for their hands-on approach to parenting.


Each of the Duggar kids was homeschooled, and these days, they’re carrying that tradition on with their own kids.


Now, fans are wondering if the mother of two Jessa Duggar is up to the task of educating her sons herself.




That’s a video of 2-year-old Spurgeon that Jessa posted on Instagram earlier this week.


“One of the cousins must’ve been giving him lessons,” she captioned the clip.


Like everything the Duggars do, the photo has been scrutinized by fans, many of whom don’t like what they see.


Spurgeon is obviously doing an impressive job of identifying his shapes, but some of Jessa’s fans have taken issue with the lessons being taught to the boy.


The cousins that Jessa is referring to must be Josh Duggar’s kids, as none of the other children in the family are old enough for such an advanced lesson.



Josh’s oldest is 7, and fans have pointed out that he could use some work on his spelling and shape recognition.


(Like we said, this crowd loves to complain.)


“Impressed with Spurgeon’s memory!  But you might want to review octagons and hexagons with his big cousin,” tweeted one fan.


Others commented that there are several misspellings on the board, and none of the adults have stepped in to point out the errors.


“Shaps? Interesting that it has NOT been corrected. Do they believe it is correct?” commented one Instagram user.


Obviously, this is nit-picking of the highest order, and fans shouldn’t be so critical of a couple of kids playing school.


At the same time, however, since the Duggars homeschool their kids, it is their responsibility to ensure they’re not being misinformed.



Most parents could just laugh and walk away from a scene like the one in Jessa’s video, knowing their kids would eventually learn their shapes and spelling in school.


Unfortunately, Jessa doesn’t have that luxury.


Homeschooling is a massive responsibility, and since it’s rare to see a member of the Duggar family reading a book that’s not the Bible, fans will always wonder if the parents are doing right by their kids in keeping them out of school.


Of course, within her family, Jessa’s teaching abilities are being universally praised:


“Spurgeon went 7 for 7. My best was 5 for 7. He’s a genius!” tweeted Jinger’s husband, Jeremy Vuolo.


Clearly, Jeremy is kidding … we think.

American Idol Will Be a Total Failure. This is Why.


American Idol is officially returning to TV this spring, as Ryan Seacrest and company will air new episodes on ABC.


We"re as shocked as you are.


And also very pessimistic about this endeavor.


Why do we think this version of American Idol will fail miserably? Scroll down to find out…




1. Not Even Kelly Clarkson Wants To Be Part of It

Wouldn’t it have been great to bring one of the most successful contestants back as a judge? It would have been a great way to market the series, but Kelly decided to defect over to NBC’s The Voice instead.



2. The Katy Perry Effect


Katy perry 2017 mtv vmas

It was reported last May that Katy Perry secured a massive $ 25 million paycheck for her role as a judge for ABC’s inaugural season of the show.

The big salary was apparently an offer she could not refuse, and producers only offered as much because they lost Kelly Clarkson, and they needed to have a big name attached before Fox’s upfronts.




3. Can Katy Even Judge Music?

Katy Perry has built a career on belting out songs written by others that make very little sense. On the marketing side of things, she went for a bizarre live streaming event to promote her latest cure for insomnia that was titled “Witness.”

It found her crying, and doing a whole lot of sleeping as fans watched live thanks to Youtube.

She also appeared as a guest judge many years ago on The X-Factor UK, and well, let’s just say her critiquing skills were not up to scratch.




4. "The Farewell Season"


Simon cowell returns

American Idol came to an end in April 2016 with a season that was widely marketed as “The Farewell Season.” It’s hardly a farewell if the show will be returning to the air less than two years after its series finale.

When a show as big as American Idol gets the reboot treatment, it should be off the air for long enough that people actually miss it.




5. The Voice For The Win


The voice season 13

The Voice emerged from the shadows back in 2011, and ultimately wound up as the more popular attraction. The chair turning may not be as fresh as it once was, but the overall show is better produced than American Idol ever was.



6. The Ratings

The show was already way past its prime when it concluded in 2016. It received a minor boost in the ratings vs. its 2015 edition because the marketing team at Fox made everyone aware it was the end of the series. There’s no getting away from the fact that show was losing viewers steadily the year
