Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is now the butt of sexual harassment jokes … at least for Rep. Ralph Norman, who dropped one Thursday and kinda killed with it. The South Carolina Representative was speaking at a Kiwanis Club…

Demi Lovato: Getting Back Together With Wilmer Valderrama While In Rehab?!
It’s been nearly two months since Demi Lovato suffered an overdose that nearly claimed her life.
After spending more than a week recovering in a Los Angeles hospital, Lovato headed straight to rehab, where she’s been devoting herself to the hard work of getting sober ever since.
Fortunately, Demi enjoys the support of a vast network of family, friends, and fans who are committed to assisting her in any way they can.
And it seems one special person in the singer’s life has really been going the extra mile to ensure that she knows she’s not alone during this dark and difficult time.
Despite the fact that Lovato and Wilmer Valderrama broke up back in 2016, the pair have remained close as friends, and it seems Demi has been leaning heavily on her ex in recent weeks.
According to TMZ, Demi recently transferred to a different rehab facility.
Her whereabouts are being kept under wraps, but sources have confirmed that she relocated in part so that she could be closer to Valderrama.
The actor has been spotted visiting Demi at the facility several times, and witnesses claim that the two of them have visited a nearby Starbucks together several times.
The facility reportedly has an “open door” policy, and patients are permitted to come and go as they please.
In fact, going for walks and frequenting local businesses is said to be encouraged, as the treatment center is a long-term facility that seeks to help residents transition back into everyday life.
Sources close to the facility say that it features a group-based recovery program, a claim that seems to be confirmed by the fact that Demi has been spotted at Starbucks with large groups of fellow patients.
As for the question of her relationship with Wilmer, sources claim the exes are nothing more than platonic friends, but fans have their doubts.
There have long been rumors that Demi is still in love with Wilmer, and the fact that he appears to have put his life on hold in order to assist with her recovery has been interpreted by many as a signal that the two of them are romantically involved.
Whatever the case, we wish Demi all the best on her road to recovery, and we applaud Wilmer for sticking by her side throughout this life-or-death struggle.

Luka Sabbat and Kourtney Kardashian: It"s Getting Serious! And Creepy!
Luka Sabbat stars on the Freeform comedy Grownish.
Which is ironic.
Because Kourtney Kardashian’s sisters allegedly think the actor is not nearly grown up enough to be dating their sibling.
Earlier this week, we wrote about various times over the past few days and weeks that Kourtney has hung out with Sabbat.
They partied together at a nightclub in Chicago on Saturday, for example, one day after dining out in The Windy City.
The little-known actor also attended Kylie Jenner’s 21st birthday party in August, prompting rumors that he and Kourtney are a romantic item.
And this chatter only grew stronger after the aforementioned evening at the aforementioned club, as an onlooker tells People Magazine of the pair:
“They were close to each other, and there was a sense of chemistry as the two were laughing and having fun together all night.”
Here is a photo of Kardashian and Sabbat from this likely drunken adventure:
A few weeks after her contentious split from Younes Bendjima, an insider tells People that Kardashian and Sabbat have been secretly dating for more than a month.
“All of their friends know she’s head over heels for Luka,” the source says, adding:
“None of her friends liked Younes, and they all love Luka even though he’s only 20! They think he’s good for her, and he’s a very down to earth and good guy.”
This may be true of Kourtney’s friends…
… but it is NOT true of her siblings, according to Radar Online.
“Kourtney told Kim and Khloe Opens that she will never date anyone older than half her age and Khloe told her that she really needs to grow the f-ck up,” someone in the know told this website.
Bendjima was 25 years old and many critics scoffed at the age difference between him and the 38-year old Kourtney.
But Sabbat cannot even drink alcohol legally, a fact that Kim and Khloe seemingly cannot get over.
“Kim thinks she is just starving for attention and cannot believe that she would go for Luka,” Radar writes.
It’s possible that Kourtney is starving for attention, sure.
But it’s also possible that she’s starving for something else from this attractive 20-year old. (That is, red hot sex with a younger man!)
We had said back when Kourtney started dating Bendjima that it was merely a fling — and then it lasted for over a year.
So who the heck knows how serious things are between her and Sabbat.
But she may keep dating him just to piss off Scott Disick, who is apparently not a fan of the romance.
“Scott is convinced that she is trying to one up him with a 20-year-old,” the Radar source says, referencing how Disick is dating a younger woman in Sofia Richie.
Concludes this article:
“No one approves of this barely legal cling-on.”

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin: Spotted Getting a Marriage License?!
In August, we learned that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin aren’t rushing to get married — that they were sure of each other, but waiting until 2019 to actually tie the knot.
Fast forward one month, however, and their actions are telling a different story.
Justin and Hailey were spotted at the courthouse, and it wasn’t over a traffic ticket. They went to the folks who give out marriage licenses.
TMZ reports that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were spotted at the NYC Marriage Bureau on Thursday, September 13.
Though Hailey and the Biebs were trying to keep things hush-hush, people of course noticed.
According to at least one wyewitness, Justin gushed to Hailey: “I can’t wait to marry you, baby.”
It was an emotional moment, and Justin was apparently crying and he spoke to his fiancee.
Other eyewitness accounts say that Justin and Hailey hoped to keep this special moment as private as possible.
According to TMZ‘s sources who saw Justin and Hailey, Justin expressed gratitude for the discretion of people in the NYC Marriage Bureau.
“Thanks for keeping it on the DL,” Justin reportedly said to a court official.
Court officials may have professional guidelines, but random other people in the courthouse who are there on their own business do not.
Incidentally, one witness referred to a person to whom Justin and Hailey spoke as a “judge,” which would imply that they actually got married right then and there.
But the source may have been using the term casually to refer to a court official, or may have misunderstood someone’s role. It happens.
According to another witness, Justin and Hailey appeared to make some reference to leaving the country.
Is it possible that they changed their plans and wanted to have a destination wedding — possibly a private one?
That sounds romantic.
Or, more cynically, they may have been headed somewhere (like Dubai) where the local laws are medieval and would not allow them to share a room unless they are married.
We have to say, though, that it is difficult to picture these two lovestruck twenty-somethings getting a marriage license early just because it’s practical.
So, a month ago, the two had solid plans to not get married in 2018. They were adamant about enjoying their engagement.
What happened during the past several weeks to change their tune?
Maybe it’s nothing — they could have been making some sort of inquiry. None of the witnesses to whom TMZ spoke said that they actually saw Justin and Hailey with a marriage certificate.
But, let’s be real, something of significance happened or Justin wouldn’t have been in tears.
Maybe the impetuousness of “youth” (he’s 24) caught up with them and they realized that they just couldn’t wait to call each other husband and wife.
A marriage license is not the same thing as having a wedding, so perhaps Justin and Hailey were impatient and decided to get the license now, but to hold off on the wedding.
If so, however, they’ve started the clock on their wedding plans.
In New York state, a marriage license is only valid for 60 days. You need to have a wedding in that time, or the license expires.
Folks, Justin and Hailey visited the Marriage Bureau 110 days before 2019. If they obtained a marriage license, they have just over half of that to get married.
That big 2019 wedding could still happen, but it would leave us with questions about what Thursday’s emotional errand was all about.

Alexis Bellino: How Much Is She Getting in the Divorce?
Divorce tends to be a painfully slow process, but since we learned of Alexis Bellino’s divorce in June, she and her husband, Jim Bellino, have already reached a settlement.
Despite Alexis’ tearful divorce confession, it looks like things worked out alright for both parties — and for their kids.
We now know the details on how much the former Real Housewife is getting.
RadarOnline gots their hands on the Bellino divorce documents.
In addition to child support and spousal support payments, the court has ordered a one-time payout from Jim to Alexis to the tune of $ 250,000.
Per the documents, the overall agreement is effective “upon the signing of the Judgment by both parties.”
While a quarter of a million dollars is definitely a lot of money, it’s only about one-sixth of Jim Bellino’s net worth, and would only support someone (even someone living modesty) for a matter of years, not decades.
Don’t worry — Alexis is getting a lot more than that.
According to the documents obtained by RadarOnline, though the couple is sharing custody, Alexis will receive child-support.
“Petitioner shall pay to Respondent as and for child support the sum of $ 2,000.00 per month per child for a total of $ 6,000.00 per month,” the court documents read.
It says that this amount is “payable one-half (1/2) on the first and one-half (1/2) on the fifteenth days of each month, commencing August 1,2018.”
Naturally, “This duty of support continues as to an unmarried child who has attained the age of 18 years, is a full-time high school student, and who is not self-supporting.”
And it must continue “until the time the child completes the 12th grade or attains the age of 19 years, whichever occurs first.”
That’s just what’s mandated by the court, of course; Jim and Alexis love their children and we’re sure that they’ll make sure to provide for their children through college and beyond.
Alexis is also getting spousal support, on top of the one-time payment of $ 250,000.
“Petitioner shall pay to Respondent, as and for spousal support,” the documents read. “The sum of $ 10,000.00 per month.”
This amount is “due and payable one-half on the first and one-half on the fifteenth days of each month commencing August 1,2018.”
As is fair for spousal support, the document continues: “and continuing thereafter until the death of either party, or further order of the Court, whichever first occurs.”
So Alexis gets ten grand a month, forever.
“Everything we do is about the kids,” Jim Bellino has assured those concerned about their divorce. “Everybody’s getting along great.”
As we mentioned when we brought up that Jim is suing Shannon Beador and Tamra Judge, Jim and Alexis released a statement.
“We would like to thank the many individuals who have expressed support for us as we worked through one of the most difficult times of our personal lives,” the statement began.
“To those who have shown that they truly care, we are happy to report that we have reached an amicable resolution of our divorce proceedings, which we expect to keep confidential in order to protect our privacy,” they continued.
“And,” they added, they intend to “keep the most sensitive and intimate details of our lives from becoming grist for a malicious ‘rumor mill.’”
The statement continued, pointing out that the couple had heard rumors about them … and were not amused.
“We have been unfairly and viciously targeted by certain individuals in recent weeks,” the couple said.
They then blasted those “who have severely aggravated the pain we have had to endure through false, defamatory, and highly objectionable statements to the media.”
“We look forward to holding those individuals fully accountable,” the statement added. “Through the legal process for the substantial damages that they have caused and continue to cause to our family.”
It’s good that they were able to reach a reasonably fair-sounding arrangement. Some divorces end with one party reduced to abject poverty. That should never happen.

Cardi B Posts Wild PDA Video, Fans Ask if She"s Getting Fingered!
Over the weekend, Offset shared a nude pic of Cardi B that turned heads everywhere.
But Cardi has raised the stakes with a steamy PDA video of her and Offset.
This video has fans asking — did Cardi record herself while Offset was performing a sex act on her? Take a look …
Remember how Cardi B was counting down the days until she can bang Offset again?
After all, she has to heal after childbirth.
Based upon the numbers she gave at the time and our math, that deadline appears to have arrived, and she took to her Instagram stories to brag about it.
Cardi shared some very affectionate PDA with Offset in a video captioned: "When that 6 weeks up."
The PDA is so intense (keep in mind that our .gif here is cropped a little) that fans believed that her freshly healed vagina was getting fingered.
Cardi"s name trended on Twitter and everyone discussed her. It"s a whole thing. But Cardi tweeted to try to clear things up.
"I wasn’t getting fingered," Cardi protests. "I had LEATHER SHORTS ON."
Though Offset"s handers were wandering in the video, tey really don"t seem to insert themselves anywhere. Cardi wasn"t done, though.
Cardi could not resist adding: "…. but i wish i was :/"
"I was very very horny," Cardi admits.
That is a refreshing level of honesty that most of us haven"t heard since we were middle schoolers. It"s also, you know, pretty hilarious.
Cardi noticed something about the reaction to her video.
"You wanna know what sooo funny?" Cardi tweeted. "I don’t see my fans complaining about the instasnap."
"All i see is other artists stans mad at it," Cardi points out. "Like why ?"
She has a point — a lot of people who were condemning Cardi were Nicki Minaj stans in particular. (Stans, of course, are particularly diehard fans)
"Why ya so worried?" Cardi asks. "Worry about your fav artists don’t worry about Cardi!"
Cardi also shared the stats on her Instagram stories as a callout.
"Ya nasty," Cardi playfully accuses on Twitter. "Ya say ya don’t want to see it but ya really wanna see it."
She shows that millions of people checked out her Instagram stories.
We are meant to conclude that this is more people than usual, and that the promise of seeing her PDA video drew in people.
We don"t doubt that for a moment.
Believe it or not, this is not the first tim that what fans believe to be a Cardi B sex tape has shown up on Instagram.
Just like last time, she says that she was clothed and that Offset was not slipping anything to her.
But can you blame fans for jumping to conclusions when they see her salacious content?
Other rappers like Boonk Gang have posted sex tapes to Instagram, sex tapes that the viewers can never, ever unsee, so it"s not like it"s unprecedented.
Is Cardi just so sexy that people can"t resist imagining that her life is a little sexier than she is? Or is she trolling her fans?

Christina and Tarek El Moussa: We"re Getting Back Together!*
*In a professional sense and setting, that is.
On Wednesday night, Christina El Moussa took to Instagram in order to announce that she and her ex-husband are not just getting along perfectly well these days.
They are getting along SO well that they will continue to co-host Flip or Flop!
“We’re baaacckkk!!!” El Moussa told her 875,000 followers yesterday, adding in exciting detail:
#FlipOrFlop was just picked up by @hgtv for 15 new episodes!! Look for Season 8 to premiere in Spring 2019. We want to make it the best season yet….
What do you want to see this season?!
Christina and Tarek, as you likely know by now, announced their divorce in late 2016.
Many HGTV viewers understandably feared at the time that this would also mean the end of the pair’s popular home renovation and house flipping series, especially once details of the break-up became public.
(Ummm… Tarek had a gun and Christina feared he as suicidal?!?)
However, ratings for Season 7 of Flip or Flop were actually up 18 percent from the previous season, which isn’t really all that shocking, is it?
Of course folks would tune in more than ever to see how a divorced couple would act around each other, right?
Would there be noticable tension?
Would personal differences be amicably put aside in the name of professional success?
The answer to the first question proved to be no and the second question yes, as Tarek and Christina have managed to avoid bashing each other to the press, while maintaining a strong enough relationship to co-parent their two young kids.
It’s been pretty cool to watch, actually.
Late last year, both halves of the former couple even acknowledged their split about a year after it happened, taking an admirable perspective on it via a pair of social media posts.
First, Christina quoted a passage from a book that read as follows:
“You do not get to choose the events that come your way nor the sorrows that interrupt your life. They will likely be a surprise to you, catching you off guard and unprepared…
“To suffer, that is common to all. To suffer and still keep your composure, your faith, and your smile, that is remarkable.”
And then Tarek confessed that he was at a low point around the time of his divorce, but:
“In my opinion, rock bottom is an opportunity to start over and do it right!”
Such a life view has worked out well for both Christina and Tarek, as well as HGTV.
“Fans have followed Tarek and Christina through scores of house flips and supported their personal journey for years,” said Allison Page, president HGTV and Food Network this week, adding:
“We’re eager to see how they continue to run their flipping business, co-parent their children and start new chapters in their professional and personal lives.”
For Christina, this may mean marrying some dude named Ant Anstead.
But Tarek doesn’t seem to care. He’s just focused on real estate right now.
“I know we’ve been around for a really, really long time, but we are back,” he said on his own Instagram page yesterday. “We’re ready to flip some houses!”
Are you ready to watch them do so?

Kourtney Kardashian: Getting Back With Scott Disick Now That She"s Done With Younes?!
As you may have heard, Kourtney Kardashian and Younes Bendjima called it quits earlier this week.
The news didn’t come as too much of a shock, as frankly, Younes held on considerably longer than anyone expected him to.
He was a rebound guy who somehow made the transition into serious boyfriend.
He deserves credit for his staying power, but we doubt that either side is terribly upset about the inevitable unraveling of this relationship.
Interestingly, news of the breakup comes right on the heels of some intriguing comments that Scott made about his feelings toward Kourtney on the latest installment of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
The episode saw Disick speculating about a possible future with the mother of his children.
We always said we would try to get back together when we were like 40. So she’s got a couple years,” he remarked to Khloe Kardashian.
Of course, Disick is still dating Sofia Richie these days, so fans who are eager for a reconciliation may not want to get their hopes up too high.
“Everyone thinks that Scott is going to drop Sofia and run back to Kourtney, it is not going to happen, at least right now,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
Yes, it seems the Lord is quite pleased by the news of Kourtney’s breakup, but not because he’s hoping to win her back.
“Scott was a bit bummed when he found out that Kourtney broke up with Younes, but at the same time he also found it hilarious because in his head that means he won,” the insider claims.
Sure, it’s incredibly petty and childish, but do we really expect anything else from Scott?
The good news is, if you rightly believe it would be a terrible idea for Scott and Kourtney to get back together, then you can breathe a sigh of relief.
“Scott and Sofia are living together now and they are quite serious,” says the source.
“He is very happy and in love with Sofia right now.”
And it seems unlikely that Scott would dump Sofia for a woman twice her age with three kids.
Did we mention how childish this dude is?

Big Brother Spoilers: Who Is Getting Evicted?
It’s been a terrible few weeks for the Level Six alliance on Big Brother.
The loss of Winston Hines dealt a big blow to the alliance two weeks ago, and they will be losing another ally on tonight’s eviction episode.
We started the week off with Rachel Swindler and Brett Robinson still on the block after Tyler decided against using the veto on either of the nominees.
Despite Tyler being aligned with them, he knew all about Bayliegh’s Power App that allows her to steal the identity of an HOH, and that was not a chance he was willing to take.
He worried that Bayliegh would target him next week for eviction with her power. To be fair, she probably would go that route because she feels like she and Tyler are good friends in the house.
The main issue with Rachel being on the block is that she’s become an emotional mess. It’s sad, but this is a social experiment, and she’s been someone who held it together well until this week.
Bayliegh, Faysal, Haleigh, Scottie, and Rockstar want Brett gone, but with Bayliegh unable to vote, it’s likely that this vote is going to be super close.
The reason?
Tyler, Angela, Kaycee, Sam, and JC are planning to send Rachel out the door to keep Brett in the game. JC wants to pin the vote on Scottie, so Bayliegh takes pity on him and sends Scottie out with her power.
That means the vote will likely be 5-4 to evict Rachel. The positive for Tyler and his puppets is that it will rattle the Foutte alliance before the next HOH competition.
The competition sounds like it’s going to be the “Before or After” one because the houseguests have been studying the days and timing of events.
Okay, so Rachel is likely heading out the door Thursday night.
What are your thoughts on this?

Teresa Giudice: My Husband Is Getting Deported & I"m Getting Rich!
Things just keep getting worse for the Giudice clan.
First, Teresa Giudice went to prison and served nearly a full year on tax fraud charges.
After she was released, it was her husband"s turn.
Joe Giudice is currently behind bars, as a judge allowed the Giudices to serve their sentences back-to-back for the sake of their kids.
No word yet on when he"ll be released, but it"s looking more and more like Joe — who is not a US citizen — will never again be a free man on American soil.
And now, it looks as though his wife is getting rich off the situation …
1. Happier Times
The Giudices never seemed like a particularly happy couple, but the past few years have brought them to depths they never could’ve imagined previously.
2. Dark Days
The Giudices were both found guilty of felony tax fraud and sentenced to prison time in 2013. Teresa served 11 months of her 15-month sentence in 2015. Joe is currently doing 4 years behind bars.
3. Jail For Juicy Joe
The lengthy prison sentence might be a nightmare come true for Joe, but believe it or not, his situation may soon deteriorate even further.
4. Booted Back to the Boot
Joe was born in Italy and he never bothered to become an American citizen. Now that he’s a convicted felon, he’ll likely be sent back to his home country.
5. High Drama
On the upside, the Giudices’ sad story has revived interest in the long-running Real Housewives of New Jersey, and everyone is cashing in. Well, everyone except Joe …
6. Crying All the Way to the Bank
According to Radar Online, Teresa has accepted a six-figure deal to allow Bravo to film a special centering around Joe’s looming deportation.

Donald Trump Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle: ALREADY Getting Engaged?!
Believe it or not, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Donald Trump Jr. are dating. People on both sides of the aisle agree that they deserve each other, but each side says that with very different meaning.
Guilfoyle has already signed on to work to get Trump reelected, quitting her job at Fox News where she was doing the exact same thing.
But in a brand new photo that she shared, she stands with Don Jr. while wearing a conspicuously large ring. Are … are they engaged?
Back in March, Vanessa Trump filed for divorce from Don Jr. after weeks of speculation and eye-opening reports that their marriage was on its last leg.
A couple of months later, Don Jr. starts dating Kimberly Guilfoyle, which actually makes a lot of sense.
Female Fox News hosts seem to be required to be attractive — a requirement that does not extend to their male colleagues — and, of course, aggressively conservative.
Guilfoyle is both, making her a great match.
And it looks like Don Jr. was a perfect partner for her, too — and good for her! Not everybody wants a partner who’s smart or handsome or law-abiding.
But … if they’re just dating, what is she doing with this huge ring?
“A winning team!” Guilfoyle declared in the captions. “I was thrilled to join @donaldjtrumpjr yesterday at #hsls2018 @turningpointusa!”
The two attended some nightmarish conference for young conservatives, but that’s not what caught people’s attention.
No, Kimberly was sporting a sizable ring on her left hand.
It’s not just a big ring — it’s a big diamond ring.
A report says that these two are preparing to become engaged.
RadarOnline reports that Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle will become engaged just as soon as his divorce from his wife is finalized.
“She is completely smitten with Don,” a source tells the tabloid.
That’s not something that he hears everyday!
But Guilfoyle is swept up in their relationship, the insider claims, “and can’t stop telling people how happy he makes her.”
That’s no surprise — he just got her a fancy new job as Vice Chairwoman of his dad’s campaign!
We’re sure that Trump donors are thrilled to hear that Don Jr. is using their donations to keep getting laid.
And speaking of love …
“And he has already told her he loves her,” a source reveals.
He’s thoroughly besotted, the insider continues, “and wants to be with her for the rest of his life.”
‘Til prison do them part! It’s so romantic.
They say that fools rush in, but isn’t getting engaged to your rebound right after your divorce kind of pushing it?
“They know people say it’s too soon and have been passing comment about their relationship,” the source acknowledges. “But they don’t care.”
Well, if the Trump family cared about public opinion, a lot of things would be different.
“They want to get engaged right away,” the insider dishes. “And are only waiting for his divorce from Vanessa to come through.”
Well, they can do what they like with their lives, we suppose.
And, for the record, even Vanessa Trump has defended the fact that they’re dating. Though … we do wonder how she’ll feel about such a speedy engagement.
Jenelle Evans: Is Nathan Griffith Getting Custody of Kaiser After Road Rage Incident?!
So, uh, how about that Teen Mom 2 episode this week, huh?
Pretty wild stuff.
We saw Chelsea Houska dealing with the pain of having Adam Lind as her child’s father, and Kailyn Lowry going through some co-parenting issues of her own.
Leah Messer got the bad news that her disabled daughter had lost her aide at school, and Briana DeJesus was visited by a very dramatic Javi Marroquin while healing from her plastic surgery.
But even with all that going on, all anyone has been able to talk about is what went down with Jenelle Evans.
Because it was absolutely terrifying.
In her first scene of the episode, she was seen driving Jace home after his therapy session when she started developing a bit of road rage.
A man in a big white truck was driving too closely behind her, she felt, so she retaliated by going slow and not allowing him to pass her.
But he managed to go around her anyway, and when he did, he pulled in front of her and slammed on his breaks.
And that’s when she really flipped out.
She immediately called the police, but then she decided to take matters into her own hands by following the guy to his house.
As she pulled up there, she took out a gun she had hidden and placed it beside her, just in case she had a chance to act like even more of a jackass.
The man blocked her in so she couldn’t leave, and he hit the side of her car a bit, which made her even more upset.
She tried pulling around him and ended up accidentally hitting his mailbox.
MTV made the decision to edit this bit out, but they did show a black screen with text explaining that she pulled out her gun then.
She did manage to get away from the guy’s house unscathed, but as she was driving along, she was pulled over by a police officer who wanted to talk to her about the incident.
She started crying and embellishing the story to make herself sound like the victim — you know how Jenelle does.
And we’ll have to wait until next week’s episode to see the aftermath.
The whole thing was pretty insane to watch, especially because the whole time, poor Jace was right next to her, clearly being traumatized.
But according to a new interview from Nathan Griffith, there may be one good thing to come out of this mess.
Yep, sounds like the custody battle is back on!
Nathan told TMZ that he feels like Jenelle’s footage “helps me in my situation of getting custody of Kaiser because it shows an unstable environment and a very hectic situation instead of being calm … escalating where it could be potentially more hazardous.”
“It shows that that the child might be in danger of being in a hostile situation like that and not making sound judgment to keep the children safe.”
… Yeah, that’s pretty much Jenelle’s signature move.
Nathan also said that he wants to “investigate further into the raw footage,” which would be neat.
Seriously, how great would it be if she actually faced consequences for this kind of reckless behavior?
“I am afraid that if she carries a loaded weapon inside a vehicle and she keeps it that accessible without a lock on it, it’s very dangerous to be around children,” he continued.
“Especially if they don’t know to always treat your gun like it’s always loaded.”
If Kaiser gets scolded for simply asking to go to the bathroom, for some reason we have a hard time believing that Jenelle and David would take the time to teach him gun safety.
We also saw Jenelle step out of her car to speak to the police officer with no concerns about leaving a loaded gun right next to Jace, so …
We really don’t blame Nathan one bit for being concerned.
Another issue he had with the footage, he said, was that “Depending on the situation, that guy could have had a gun too, and it could have been an all-out brawl.”
“Children could have been hurt. She could have been hurt … It could have been a nasty situation and bloodbath.”
It’s actually kind of a miracle that she wasn’t hurt.
We know that the man she chased down did have a gun of his own, and that when he saw her following him home, he alerted his neighbors, who also had guns.
He’s even said that the only reason he didn’t pull his gun out was that he saw Jace in the car.
(Real quick — how sad is it that this complete stranger showed more concern for Jace than Jenelle did?)
Nathan feels so strongly about all of this that he was even willing to go on record saying that he agreed with David — which, if you know their history, is pretty remarkable.
Remember in the episode, Jenelle called David to tell him what had happened, and he immediately told her that she shouldn’t have followed a grown man back to his house?
“I don’t agree with David a lot,” Nathan acknowledged, “but he made a strong statement. She shouldn’t be following, not just a grown man home, she probably shouldn’t have followed somebody home period, especially with her aggressive personality.”
It really does sound like he’s planning on taking this issue to court, and if you throw the footage in with with that whole thing earlier this month where there was a CPS investigation after Nathan found suspicious bruises on Kaiser …
Maybe Jenelle will lose custody of her second child, too.

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott: FINALLY Getting Divorced?!
Rumors about Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott getting divorced have been circulating since … well, about the time that the troubled couple got married.
But this time around, it seems Dean has actually taken steps toward bringing an end to what might be Hollywood’s most dysfunctional marriage.
According to Radar Online, McDermott has moved out on Spelling and is expected to file for divorce in the near future.
Sources tell the site that Dean moved out after spending the Fourth of July holiday with Tori and their five children.
He reportedly has not been back to the house since.
“Tori’s behavior has sent him to a breaking point,” says one insider.
That behavior includes a number of emotional breakdowns, the worst of which prompted Dean to call the cops on Tori for behaving erratically.
After those episodes, Spelling and McDermott assured fans that they’re still married, but they’ve been quiet in the weeks since.
Tori’s recent mental health issues may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back, but they certainly weren’t the first sign of trouble for her and Dean.
For years, fans have been expecting a divorce announcement, as the couple continues to make headlines with their marital issues.
The trouble seems to have started when Dean was caught cheating on Tori with mistress Emily Goodhand.
To say the years that followed weren’t always kind to the McDermott clan would be a massive understatement.
Tori and Dean went broke, drove up seven-figure debts to their creditors, and were forced to downsize to a much smaller home in not-so-posh Encino.
Their financial stresses show no signs of letting up, and just last year, Dean was almost imprisoned for failure to pay child support to his first wife.
Needless to say, it’s not hard to see how all of this might have put a considerable strain on Tori and Dean’s marriage.
Reports the couple is on the brink of calling it quits date back to early 2018, when sources say they began living separate lives.
“Tori and Dean have been sleeping in separate bedrooms for the past six weeks,” a family insider told Radar back in April.
“Things have been very bad at home between them.”
Spelling and McDermott have been quiet on the matter thus far, but if we know them, they’re feverishly pitching a reality show about their crumbling marriage at this very moment.

Duggar Kids: Getting Married to Escape Jim Bob?
With few exceptions, Duggar children usually marry young and start having children almost immediately after getting hitched.
The main reason for this is that Jim Bob and Michelle’s offspring are taught from a young age that they were put on this planet to do two things, and the things only — worship and make babies.
But lately, fans have noticed something strange about the two main Duggar pastimes.
It seems the more the adult Duggar children have been devoting more of their attention to the latter, and less to the former.
Obviously, we have no idea how much time on these people are spending on their knees in the bedroom.
(We’re talking about praying! Get your mind out of the gutter!)
But thanks to the Duggars’ tendency to over-share on social media, we have a pretty good idea of how much time they spend in church.
And as hard as it is to envision a Duggar skipping Sunday services, it seems that’s exactly what they’ve been doing lately.
First, it was reported that John David Duggar has been skipping church ever since he began courting Abbie Burnett.
Now, it seems other coupled-up Duggars are following in John David’s footsteps.
“They’re always missing from church when they’ve started dating,” a source close to the family tells Radar Online.
Now, it’s possible that the Duggars who are in relationships have simply decided to attend services at their partners’ church.
But even if that’s the case, Jim Bob would likely view the decision as a betrayal.
He’s previously stated that he believes worshipping is the most important thing a family can do together.
And the Duggars are famous for their elaborate Sunday ritual.
They usually arrive at church early so that they be there to greet the other parishioners.
Afterward, the whole community gathers at the Duggar compound for a “pot-faith” luncheon.
“Because Jim Bob doesn’t believe in luck,” says the source.
Yeesh. That alone would be reason enough for his kids to skip out on the whole thing.
But as lame as they probably find their father’s extreme piety, the Duggar kids would likely be hesitant to stop attending services with Jim Bob — unless they hoped to send him a message.
Reports of Duggar kids rebelling against Jim Bob’s overbearing ways have been everywhere lately, and it seems they may have decided as a group to take action in hopes of making it clear just how strongly they feel.
It’s a risky gambit.
And it could lead to the unraveling of the Duggar clan as we know it.
