Ryan Edwards: Stepping Away From Teen Mom OG to Focus on Sobriety?
If you"ve been keeping up on the life of Ryan Edwards in recent months, you know that the controversial Teen Mom OG has not had an easy time of it lately.
Granted, most of Ryan"s problems are self-created, but nevertheless, many fans who remember Maci Bookout"s ex from his leas troubled days have expressed concerns and sympathetic thoughts on social media.
In the past year, they"ve seen Ryan get arrested, lose consciousness while driving to his own wedding, go to rehab, relapse, and nearly lose custody of his son.
While there"s much disagreement as to whether or not Ryan deserves a second chance, all seem to agree that if there"s any possibility of redemption, it has to begin with Ryan stepping away from the reality TV spotlight in order to focus on recovery.
Will he do it? Well, that"s a question only Ryan can answer …
1. Ryan’s Hope
Believe it or not, not everyone has given up on Ryan. His wife, Mackenzie Standifer, and his long-suffering parents remain firmly in his corner.
2. Loyalty Put to the Test
And if the Teen Mom-obsessed corners of social media are any indication, Ryan still enjoys the support of a surprisingly large group of extremely loyal fans.
3. Ultimatum Time
But even those who have already been put through the wringer by Ryan have their limits. And it seems they’re beginning to lose faith in the troubled father of one.
4. Taking a Break
It’s been rumored that Ryan’s loved ones have pressured him to take an indefinite break from filming in order to focus on getting his life back on track. Many fans have publicly expressed support for the idea.
5. A Hard Sell
However, reality stardom has been Ryan’s sole source of income for the entirety of his adult life. He and Standifer are currently expecting their first child together, so he may be reluctant to step away from the camera at this time, even for a short period.
6. What’s Best For Everyone
Of course, as many fans have pointed out, this is an opportunity for Ryan to prove that he’s capable of putting the needs of those who rely on him ahead of his own self-interest. And it could be his last chance to do so …

Alaskan Bush People Season 8 to Focus on Ami"s Cancer
We have some good news for Alaskan Bush People fans…
… and also some really terrible news for Alaskan Bush People fans.
Unfortunately, the importance of the latter far outweighs the importance of the former.
But we’ll start with a programming update:
The long-awaited eighth season of this Discovery Channel hit will premiere on August 24 at 9/8c. Set your DVR and plan your upcoming vacations accordingly.
The really terrible news, however, has to do with just what these new episodes will focus on.
According to Radar Online, Ami Brown’s cancer has returned — and this tragic circumstance will serve as the crux of what fans will see on screen later this summer and later this fall.
“Ami went to UCLA with Billy and son Bear, and her cancer is back,” an insider has told the aforementioned celebrity gossip site.
Darn it. This sucks.
We reported in late May that Ami checked back into a California hospital in order to have further tests run.
At the time, however, we were still awaiting the results of these tests and had not heard any confirmation about the return of Ami’s illness.
The mother of seven was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer last year.
Her prognosis at the time was grim, but undergoing numerous rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, the reality star announced she was cancer-free in December 2017.
For some awful reason, fans had taken this remission to mean that Ami never had cancer, an assertion that Discovery Channel Executive Vice President Laurie Goldberg had to actually address a few weeks back.
“Ami’s battle with cancer is very real,” Goldberg said at the time, adding:
“It is just disgusting that anyone would say her cancer is not real or that it was created for the show.”
Seriously. Not even the Kardashians would conjure up a cancer storyline for the sake of ratings.
This latest Radar report makes us feel sad, but also asks that fans remain optimistic.
That’s the approach Ami and her loved ones are trying to take.
“She is still dealing with some residual effects of her diagnosis and treatment, but she is continuing to recover well,” the insider says.
“She has the love and support of her entire family, and is determined to beat this.”
This same source concludes that the new season of Alaskan Bush People will tell a significant chunk of Ami’s story.
Not for the sake of ratings.
But simply because this show chronicles the lives of the Browns and this diagnosis is obviously the most important thing going on in those lives right now.
“It’s going to be a huge part of the upcoming season, and there will be interviews with her doctors and other medical professionals who have helped her along the way,” the source says.
Alaskan Bush People is currently filming for the new season in Washington state, far from the family’s native Alaska.
Expect plenty of changes to be afoot, except for one key one: the entire family will be involved.

Ariel Winter: Focus on My Hot Body, Not My Old Boyfriend!
Ariel Winter is a gift to this world, that much is undeniable.
It barely even makes sense how hot she is.
But as much as we go on and on (and on and on and …) about her cleavage and her love of bikinis and all that, we can’t forget that she’s got a neat brain on top of all that hotness.
And that brain of hers is currently working overtime to correct some misconceptions made from a recent interview.
The interview was with Refinery 29, and it was done for their “Take Back the Beach” series — stories about body positivity and confidence and all those wonderful, important things.
But while Ariel made a lot of great quotes about the topic, she also mentioned her boyfriend, Levi Meaden, as well as Donald Trump.
And guess what people are focusing on?
For the part about Levi, Ariel was asked about criticism she’s received for moving in with him already, and for the age difference between them — she’s 19, he’s 29.
“I’m happy, and whatever people want to say, they can say,” she answered. “I don’t understand why someone would even comment on our situation at all.”
“There are tons of people of all ages that live with their boyfriend. There are tons of people that live with their girlfriends, tons of people that don’t live together and are super happy.”
“But I’m super happy in the arrangement that we have,” she said. “We love living together. It’s just great.”
Then, about Trump, she said that, thanks to him, women are “being objectified and made to feel bad about ourselves, so I think it’s really important for women to stick together and do the opposite of that.”
“To let their bodies be seen and be heard, and to empower each other; to remind each other that what they look like is not the only thing that’s important when it comes to who they are.”
Unfortunately, those insightful quotes led to other stories about how Ariel is “defending” her boyfriend and how she’s “firing back” at Trump.
And Ariel’s not down with it.
In a lengthy Instagram post, she wrote “Y’all I love you but PLEASE pay attention and post my REAL point from my @refinery29 interview!!!”
“Not that I’m ‘defending living with my 29 year old boyfriend’ or that I’m ‘firing back at Trump’ because first of all I don’t need to defend anything.”
“I’m super happy and in love,” she continued, “and I’m not firing at anyone just sharing an opinion after being ASKED!”
She said that the point of the interview was “to take back the beach and help people understand that the beach should be a safe space to go as you place and feel good about yourself no matter what!”
“Makeup on, makeup off, heels, sandals, covered up, exposed, do you and feel HAPPY about who you are and YOUR choices, not the ones society wants us to choose.”
Ariel admitted that it’s “HARD to be 100% confident — I’m still not — but I’m on a journey and I want other people to know they’re not alone.”
“We all struggle but through our struggle we get stronger and closer to our goals.”
“Body positivity is important,” she wrote, “not that I live with my boyfriend.”
She finished her post with “Love yourselves, love others, be yourselves, and be happy.”
We really, really don’t deserve this girl.

Kendra on Top: New Season to Focus on Nasty Mama Drama!
Great news for people who love Kendra Wilkinson and/or people who love trashy reality shows full of shocking drama and scandal!
Kendra"s incredible reality show, Kendra on Top, is coming back for a brand new season next month!
And, much like the earlier seasons, this new one seems to have a specific theme: and that is the completely terrible relationship Kendra has with her mother, Patti.
We know, we know, Kendra is doing another show right now, Marriage Boot Camp Reality Stars: Family edition, in which she"s working on things with Patti.
But there are clearly enough issues to go around.
In the first trailer for the new season, we learn that Patti, who is always so desperate for attention and so devoid of any maternal instincts, is trying to release a tell-all.
And since Patti"s own story isn"t one that many people would care to hear, she"d actually be telling all about Kendra.
We see someone, perhaps a publisher, ask Patti if she knows any stories that would "devastate" Kendra, and Patti gives a great big twisted smile in response.
We see that Patti plans on writing about the cheating scandal that rocked Kendra"s marriage to Hank Baskett — and we also see Hank take it pretty hard.
"You should have told me!" he yells at Kendra. "I had to find out from someone else!"
And finally, we see Patti having a drink with friends, saying "Do you know how much money I could make?" as they all laugh with glee.
It"s all pretty tough to see, and we can"t imagine the full season will be any easier.
Check out the trailer in the video below:

American Horror Story Season 7 to Focus on... Donald Trump?!?
According to executive producer Ryan Murphy, American Horror Story Season 7 is set to take on this franchise’s most frightening subject yet.
Climate change? ISIS? The prospect of the New England Patriots winning a sixth Super Bowl next year?
Nope, nope and nope.
Instead, Murphy has said in a couple new interview that American Horror Story Season 7 will tell the tale of… Dona’d J. Trump!
YIKES, right?!?
The creator of American Horror Story (and Nip/Tuck… and Glee… and upcoming FX series Feud) was a guest last night on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.
Asked about his plans for the seventh installment of his beloved cable anthology, Murphy said he does not yet have a title for Season 7.
But he has a subject matter in mind.
“The season that we begin shooting in June is going to be about the election that we just went through.”
For those somehow unaware, the election to which Murphy is referring pitted Trump against Hillary Clinton.
These two long-time public and polarizing figures exchanged pointed barbs throughout 2016, as the wore bore witness to the ugliest President race in U.S. history.
It was won, in stunning fashion, by Trump on November 8.
“Wow! That…wow,” Cohen responds to Murphy’s reveal in the above clip, asking: “Will there be a Trump in it?”
“Maybe,” Murphy replied.
Sounds like another chance for Alec Baldwin to polish his impression!
Following the finale of American Horror Story Season 6 in November, FX tweeted a teaser for Season 7, which seemed to allude to a potential nautical theme for the next installment.
But we should have known better.
These teasers are always vague and weird and don’t really have anything to do with what’s on tap.
In another interview this week, Murphy reiterated the theme of Season 7.
“It’s very scary and very fun and very…topical,” he told E! News. “Anybody who voted in the last election will very much enjoy what it’s about.”
He didn’t reveal many storyline details beyond that preview, simply adding:
“Evan Peters and Sarah Paulson are the leads. But they don’t know who they’re playing…It’s a modern story… We just started back in the writers’ room for that.”
Past seasons of American Horror Story have centered on witches, weird carnival acts, haunted houses, mental asylums and quasi vampires played by Lady Gaga.
But Donald Trump as President?!? Murphy, pictured below on Bravo, truly could not have chosen a scarier topic this time around.
The only question here, of course, is whether or not Trump will still be President when Season 7 premieres later this year.
Have you seen the latest Donald Trump impeachment odds? They grow stronger every day.
American Horry Story, meanwhile, received a rare two-season renewal a few weeks ago, taking it through season 9.
At the time, FX CEO John Landgraf said viewers wouldn’t know anything about season 7 until its premiere, much like they did when it came to Season 6.
“It actually will be shrouded in super secrecy,” he said at the Television Critics Association’s press tour in January.
“Ryan has yet another really innovative idea for how to do something fresh and different with the franchise that audiences haven’t seen before, and there’s a marketing promotional hook around that.”
We can’t wait to see how the election is tackled by Murphy and company.
Until then, we’re totally gonna go back and watch American Horror Story online to see if we can pick up on any clues from past seasons that may inform what we can expect to see this season.

Tarek El Moussa Blasts "Fake News," Keeps Focus on Kids
Tarek El Moussa has had it with all the fake news floating around the Internet.
No, he isn’t going after CNN.
But the Flip or Flop co-host is not-so-subtly making his feelings known about the latest In Touch Weekly cover story, via a pointed message he shared on both Twitter and Instagram.
According to this supermarket tabloid, the divorce between Tarek and Christina El Moussa is “turning ugly.”
While both reality stars are saying the right things in public, the magazine claims it’s privy to behind-the-scenes bickering and discord that belies that we’ve read in statement from Tarek and Christina.
For example:
- In Touch writes that Tarek and Christina now have separate publicists, following years of sharing representation as co-hosts of the aforementioned HGTV series.
- In Touch writes that Tarek would insult Christina with “vulgar language” in clips from the series that never made it air.
- In Touch writes that Tarek would even refer to Christina as a “whore” at times.
- In Touch writes that Tarek “said he would perform a heinous violent act against Christina on more than one occasion.”
- In Touch writes that Tarek often made Christina run into the car and “cry” in between takes due to his inappropriate behavior and incessant anger.
Yeah. Pretty damning accusations all around.
They are printed about a month after Tarek and Christina confirmed they’ve been separated since last spring.
The stars were forced to come out and make this confession after an incident between the couple from many months ago went viral:
It turns out that Tarek and Christina got into a major argument back in May. It ended with the former grabbing a gun and storming off into the woods.
Christina, afraid of what Tarek might do, called the cops. When they arrived, Tarek explained that he only took the weapon with him for protection against animals.
Authorities ended up seizing five guns from the El Moussa’s home (all legally purchased and registered), while Tarek and Christina acknowledged the “unfortunate misunderstanding” in a statement.
“[We] will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together… we are committed to our kids and being the best parents we can be,” they added.
Since then, word has leaked out that Christina is dating Gary Anderson, the family contractor, but Tarek has refrained from saying anything negative about his estranged wife online or in the press.
He simply filed for divorce this month.
Now, however, Tarek feels a need to speak up.
In response to the scathing allegations printed about him by anonymous In Touch Weekly insiders, he wrote the following on social media today:
No matter the lies, innuendo, salacious gossip and ‘fake news’ that is thrown at me from irresponsible media outlets via anonymous sources, I will keep my focus on what matters most, which is co-parenting our children and working hard on our business.
Succinct. To the point. Not overly defensive. That’s a quality statement right there.
Sources have confirmed that Tarek and Christina are still filming new episodes of Flip or Flop.
But there is no deal in place for a season beyond this current one and it seems hard to believe the show will remain on the air after these installments are done shooting.
In a previous statement, HGTV told E! News the following:
“We admire and appreciate Tarek and Christina’s great work on Flip or Flop. When it comes to matters related to their own family, we respect their privacy and honor any decision that works best for them and their children.
“HGTV is currently airing episodes of Flip or Flop and the series will continue production as scheduled.”
But the future remains murky.
This holds true for Tarek and Christina on the air and also, some might say, in their respective homes.

Jordan Rodgers Finally Breaks Silence on Aaron Rodgers Feud: It"s Not My Focus!
Watching JoJo Fletcher get engaged to Jordan Rodgers last night on the season finale of The Bachelorette, all we could think of was:
What does Aaron Rodgers think about all this?!
While we’ve heard Aaron Rodgers comment, basically via “no comment,” last night was Jordan’s first night in public with his new fiancee.
In other words, the first time someone could hit Aaron’s little brother with the million-dollar question of what the hell is up between them.
It’s been a weird confluence of factors for weeks: Jordan’s lack of relationship with Aaron has become a major focal point of his story.
This has been the case on and off the reality show on which he’s starring … and he seems incredibly uncomfortable talking about it.
They don’t speak (the last known photo of them together, below, is 4-5 years old and also features Kevin from The Office for some reason).
Jordan simultaneously loves the position he’s in, and attention he gets, from being Aaron’s brother, yet wishes he weren’t at the same time.
In a way, it’s the perfect contradiction, and summation of the season:
From the onset, JoJo seemed both intensely drawn to and turned off by Jordan, fittingly the subject of major tabloid speculation throughout.
The handsome, smooth-talking jock, Jordan was an early favorite.
But … he was also the bad boy that the other guys loved to hate, whose ex put him on blast, and whose famous brother won’t talk to him.
Despite a late charge by Robby Hayes – whose downfall may be that he shares many of Jordan’s bad boy qualifies – JoJo picked Rodgers.
Is she now regretting it? She’s putting on a good front, but …
On the After the Final Rose special airing immediately after the finale, Fletcher spoke about the hard times she and Jordan have endured.
Facing claims from tabloids that couldn’t be refuted without giving away The Bachelorette spoilers, JoJo and JoRo were in a tough spot.
They were not, however, in a new one whatsoever.
This happens every season, it’s just that Jordan Rodgers’ personal drama is SO BAD that it became a national story in and of itself.
If anything, the fact that they’re struggling with it is either an indication of that, or the relative strength of their relationship (or lack thereof).
But we digress. Back to the subject at hand here:
Regardless of how long for this world these two hotties may be as the franchise’s new Golden Couple, host Chris Harrison finally went there.
“About the rift with your brother Aaron, has anything come of that?” Harrison said, putting it all out there point blank as Jordan squirmed.
As you can see above, their faces said it all.
Jordan tried to dodge the subject, which he clearly doesn’t want to touch with a ten-foot pole, talking about how he’s moving to Dallas for JoJo!
Pressed a second time, a visibly awkward JoJo shot daggers at Harrison with her eyes and said simply, “It’s not the focus for us right now.”
And there you have it. It being jack s–t.
Why did JoJo pick Jordan Rodgers (hopefully not for the Packers tickets)? Will the love these two share last a lifetime, or fizzle fast?
And … again, what in the heck played out between Jordan and Aaron Rodgers, and what does the Super Bowl MVP think of all this?

Jill & Jessa Counting On: Season 2 to Focus on Jinger Duggar"s Courtship?!
As you may have heard, Jinger Duggar is officially courting Jeremy Vuolo, a former professional soccer player whom she met through her older sister Jessa.
Jessa is probably thrilled that she made the introductions, but not only for the obvious reason that her sister may be headed for the altar.
You see, Jinger’s courtship comes with a big bonus for Jessa and the rest of the Duggars, as it may have saved the once-beloved family from the brink of obscurity.
After a season of mediocre ratings and controversy-averse advertisers pulling their support, there was talk that the Duggars’ new reality show, Jill & Jessa: Counting On, would be canceled.
A couple weeks ago, TLC began to show indications that it would renew Counting On, but no official announcements were made.
Network execs were reportedly on the fence, and many insiders believe that the timing of Jinger’s big announcement was carefully planned.
Now, several media outlets are reporting that TLC has quietly gone ahead with the renewal
“[Jinger and Jeremy’s] courtship will be a big part of the new season of Counting On when it returns to TLC later this summer,” a source close to the situation tells The Ashley’s Reality Roundup.
While no premiere date has been announced, the show will likely return to the airwaves much sooner than expected.
The Ashley and several other outlets are reporting that Counting On Season 2 is scheduled to drop sometime this summer.
As with Season 1, there’s been very little fanfare for such a high-profile show.
It could be that the network feels that heavy marketing isn’t necessary when the Duggars are involved – or it could be a way of staving off controversy for as long as possible.
Watch Jill & Jessa Counting On online to get caught up in time for Season 2.
