Teen Mom 2 Recap: Kailyn Lowry Graduates!!

This week on Teen Mom 2, Kailyn graduated from college, while a fight between Briana’s family and Luis cast a pall over Stella’s homecoming.


Meanwhile, Leah took another shot at motivational speaking, and embattled bride-to-be Jenelle shopped for wedding dresses in New York.



On Teen Mom 2 Season 9 Episode 13, Kailyn’s graduation day arrived at last, with two of the three baby daddies in attendance.


Any guesses which one was MIA?


With some irony, given that they met at Delaware State, Chris Lopez did not show. To her disappointment, Kailyn later admitted.


“I don’t even have feelings anymore,” she said, and while that’s clearly a lie, she should be very proud of her accomplishments.


If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you know Leah Messer first tried to give a public speech last week and it was a total disaster.


This week she got back on the horse.


“I was just so out of my element,” she said of her failed debut, but notes that it’s worth another shot, since “I just want to make a difference.”



Her second speech started out in less than stellar fashion, but she hit her stride and – dare we say it – inspired her audience by the end.


“I just kept pushing forward,” Messer said.


“This was everything I wanted it to be.”


Get it, girl! Way to push through that!


In South Dakota, Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer took Watson to get a shot at the doctor. They are just the cutest family ever.


Meanwhile, Briana DeJesus’ ex-boyfriend Luis still wasn’t doing anything to help with their kid, but was driving her family nuts.


“I want to be comfortable in my own house,” Briana said, while mom Roxanne added, “You’re a f–king loser, bro. Douchebag.”


That hit close to home. Luis bounced.



Jenelle Evans, with her wedding to David Eason fast approaching, headed to New York with friends to pick out a wedding dress.


Uninvited, Barbara Evans was shook.


“I’ve already lost her,” Barbara cried.


“She’s so mean to me.”


While she wasn’t what we would say fresh out of f–ks to give, Jenelle reflected on the current state of affairs and was ambivalent.


Yes, it was sad that Barb wasn’t coming and that her dad is out of the picture, but to use the old cliche, it is what it is right now.


“I don’t think there’s any coming back,” she said about her relationship with her mom … here’s hoping that will change soon.

Jessica Simpson"s Daughter Graduates Preschool: See the Adorable Picture!

Jessica Simpson has been battling internet trolls over the way she has been dressing her daughter, Maxwell for quite some time now.


We always jump to her defense because the majority of the time the trolls have been trying to get a rise out of the star, and their claims about the way little Maxwell is dressed have been bizarre. 



For what it’s worth, Jessica had been sending subtle digs at the haters with even more pictures of her daughter.


In short, she knows how to create controversy amongst her followers, and that’s a good thing when you consider that the only time she seems to be in the media these days is when the trolls come out to play. 


Hey, she needs to keep herself in the spotlight somehow. And no, we’re not talking about her rambling on for dear life on Ellen. That was lame and bizarre. 


Anyway. 


Maxwell has officially graduated from preschool and Jessica opted to keep the outfit in line with what the kids are supposed to wear for a graduation, so it’s not like the trolls could appear from the woodwork on this one. 



“Spread your wings and prepare to fly for you have become a butterfly,” Simpson captioned a photo of her daughter. Thus far, it seems like the trolls have been successfully kept at bay, and Jessica can breathe a huge sigh of relief. 


We do think she would have liked some controversy, but it’s somewhat refreshing to look at comments on Instagram and to find people praising her. Is this, like, an alternate reality? 


We kid, of course. 


Jessica uploaded another picture of the event which showed her little one jumping for joy, presumably because she knows her mother’s phone is not going to be blowing up with hate for another few days. 



“Someone is excited for kindergarten! How do all you moms do it? I need help,” Simpson captioned the second picture. 


They sure grow up fast!


During Jessica’s  recent controversial appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show, Ellen wanted to find out whether the Simpson-Johnson family was expanding. 



“Are you sure that you’re not pregnant?” host Ellen DeGeneres asked. “I heard that you were.”


“Oh, gosh!” Simpson replied. “We had an IUD. Nothing’s gonna get in that uterus!” Jessica promised she’s “not having a third” child, explaining, “They’re too cute! We really can’t top that.”


Watch the full video below if you want to see what all the fuss was about.

Kailyn Lowry Graduates College, Becomes First Teen Mom to Do So!

Kailyn Lowry gets a lot of hate, and honestly, some of it is justified.


She can be cold, almost cruel, and she’s made some questionable life choices, there’s no doubt about that — but today, we’re not going to focus on the negative.



Today, we’re going to congratulate her for graduating college.


Yesterday, Kailyn graduated from Delaware State University with a bachelor’s degree in mass communications.


Pretty amazing, right?


Kailyn just turned 25, and she’s got two kids and is heavily pregnant with her third, so for her to earn her degree is honestly super impressive.


Not to mention the fact that, as of now, she’s the only Teen Mom with a bachelor’s degree.



Not too shabby for one of the most hated members of the franchise.


Kailyn has been very excited about her achievement, and understandably so.


She’s been sharing lots of pictures from yesterday, including a photo of herself in full graduation garb.


And an especially sweet one of her two sons, Isaac and Lincoln, at the ceremony, holding gifts for their mom.



In a blog she posted a couple of weeks ago, she wrote that she’d “been struggling to get through school and earn my bachelor’s over the last 6 years … Yes, 6 years.”


“Between teen motherhood, financial hurdles in the beginning, then moving to a new state, marriage, babies and divorce …”


“And then of course just wanting to give up, I (barely) held on and I’m FINALLY graduation May 13!”


She added that it’s been “an extremely long and emotional road for me and for my family.”


Earlier this week, she gave an interview explaining more about the struggle to graduate.



“It’s been a long and emotional journey,” she said, “especially without any support from my parents. But I’m so happy and relieved!”


Kailyn also revealed in that interview that after she gets her bachelor’s degree, she’ll move on to grad school.


So not only will she be the first Teen Mom to have a bachelor’s degree, but if she keeps up the hard work and adapts to to being a mom of three, she could be the first Teen Mom to have a master’s degree, too.


As she tweeted yesterday, “There’s beauty in the struggle.”


Congrats, Kailyn!

Kim Kardashian Graduates Middle School: See the Pics!

Kim Kardashian has thrown it back online.


Big time.



Over the weekend, the reality star turned to her official app to share an mesmerizing video of her 1994 middle school graduation on her website.


The footage provided fans with a rarely-see glimpse at her famous family years before they were actually famous.


Kim is a mere 13 years old in the video, posing at various times with various family members.


Here’s a look at her with her late father, Robert Kardashian, for example.



Think that photo is hard to process?


(Where’s the cleavage, right? Where’s the commentary on her weight? Where are all the hashtags?)


Take a look at the next one, which features Kris Jenner and Bruce Jenner from way back in the day.


Like, WAY back in the day. When they were still married. When Bruce Jenner was still Bruce Jenner and not Caitlyn Jenner.



“This is a really special memory for me; it was the day of my middle school graduation ceremony. I was 13 years old here,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wrote alongside the video.


She added:


“So many of our family and friends came to congratulate me. Look at my haircut, guys!!!”


That really is a pretty amazing bob, we must admit.


“It feels like my dad used to film every single moment of our lives,” Kim continued.


“He was always there with a camcorder, whether it was my sisters’ birthday parties, a family trip to Vail or just a random day when we were all chilling at the house.”


At one point, Khloe Kardashian grabs the camera for her Khloe cam, using it to nabb a shot of sister Kourtney:



Pretty great stuff, isn’t it?


We don’t even have any snarky comments to make. We just want to take in all of these photos, to think back to a time when this family was… normal.


Here are some more looks at the Kardashian kids from way back in the day:

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 3 Recap: Kylie Jenner Graduates!!

Sunday on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 3, Kylie celebrated her (home) high school graduation.



As did Kendall (one year later), and Khloe (roughly 15 years later).  Home schoolers 4 LYFE!


All the graduates got Cartier trinkets and there was a jumpy slide.  Kris Jenner tried to give a speech and lost her composure, while her granddaughter, Penelope watched on in disappointment.


Fun for all.


It was not all cap and gowns and Ryan Seacrest for Khloe, though.  She had a ghost to contend with!


There’s a male spirit of sorts in Khloe’s house, and with the help of not one but two mediums (Hollywood Medium‘s Tyler Henry was not very helpful, actually), Khloe learned that her grandfather was the one whispering “Khloe!” into her ear at night.


Khloe called Kris to tell her the news, which made her cry.  Again.  Kris is fragile, it’s been a long summer.


Meanwhile, Kim is almost willing herself into sugar shock with trips to New Orleans and Paris for a taste of the best __ in the world.  Would that we could all pop over to a country that serves the best ___ in the world.  


After the beignets, churros and cheesecake, Kim came back to Los Angeles to find out that her health sucks and her pregnancy isn’t going so well.  Kim’s at high risk because of her previous complications, so those long-ass plane rides were all for naught!


Kim gets tested for diabetes, the results of which come back negative.  


Her lesson this episode teaches highlights the importance of eating healthy for both mom and baby.  The world’s best cheesecake in Paris can wait.


I just threw away my peanut butter because Kourtney’s organic lifestyle is making me feel guilty.  Don’t ever say this show taught you nothing.
