Prince"s Counterfeit Vicodin Pills Contained Mixed Bag of Drugs
Fentanyl wasn’t the only drug found in Prince’s stash of counterfeit Vicodin pills — in fact, they were laced with so many drugs … there’s no way he could have known exactly what he was taking when he popped one. According to law enforcement,…

Kylie Jenner: Experiencing Mixed Feelings About Motherhood?!
Chicago West’s little cousin will be here before you know it! Kylie Jenner’s due date is February 4th, and everybody’s excited!
Kylie’s excited, too, of course. Excited to become a mom but probably also excited to, you know, no longer be pregnant.
But apparently she has mixed feelings about her upcoming journey as a mother.
People reports on how Kylie Jenner is feeling so close to giving birth.
“Kylie is definitely ready for baby to arrive!”
(Aren’t we all?!)
No but really, pregnancy is a long roller coaster ride that only gets more intense as it nears the end. Kylie has to be ready for the ride to be over.
Overall, the source says that Kylie’s feelings are mixed.
“Coming up on the end of pregnancy, there are a lot of different emotions.”
Though we have to imagine there are some serious apprehensions and fears, this insider tries to focus on the positive.
“She’s excited, she’s anxious … there are a lot of feelings.”
Probably a lot more. If she has any sense at all, she’s terrified that she’ll make a mistake as a mother. She must also have some fears about what role Travis Scott will or won’t play. She must worry about her child growing up in the spotlight.
“But she’s ready for what’s next.”
Is she, though?
A lot of people are doubting Kylie Jenner’s parenting skills.
Probably because Kylie has never had a real responsibility in her life.
Don’t get us wrong, she’s a makeup mogul, and Kylie Cosmetics is worth enough to make your head spin.
She’s also been a reality star since she was a child. That’s a lot of work.
But her responsibilities have all been to herself. It’s not like those are jobs from which she could have realistically been fired.
She has dogs, but we’re sure that she has people who help take care of the dogs when she needs them. Having a baby — and babies develop so much more slowly than dogs — will be a new challenge.
Some 20-year-olds who had unplanned pregnancies after dating a rebound guy for a month turn out to be great mothers. Some.
And with her limitless resources and extensive family support network, Kylie might be able to pull it off.
But … what of her baby daddy, Travis Scott?
He almost certainly didn’t ask for this. He has his own music career. He’s young — not as young as Kylie, but young.
And, according to some reports, Travis Scott may already be cheating on Kylie. Assuming that they’re even still together, because Kylie isn’t exactly sharing her life’s details with the world like she once did.
Is he going to be a father to this child with Kylie, separately from Kylie, or will he just send her child support payments that she doesn’t need and go on living his life?
Ultimately, unless he’s a bad father, that probably doesn’t matter.
Children need love and support, and that doesn’t always have to come from two parents.
Sure, it would be weird to grow up knowing that your father doesn’t have anything to do with you when he’s (kind of) famous, but no grandchild of Kris Jenner’s is going to go without love and support.
And even the nurturing instincts that Kylie’s shown for her dogs show that Kylie’s likely to be a doting mom. We hope so, anyway.
Strange as it may be to say, it’s a good sign that Kylie is reportedly anxious. Anxiety means that she’s taking this seriously — maybe a lot more seriously than she was when she found out that she was pregnant last summer.

Game of Thrones Season 7 Finale Draws Record Ratings, Mixed Reviews
Well, it may have been shorter than we would have liked, but Game of Thrones Season 7 certainly delivered the goods in terms of both drama and dragons.
(Some have argued that the season felt a little too jam-packed, but more on that later.)
Of course, of greatest concern for the suits at HBO is the fact that the show came through in the most imporant category of all–the ratings.
Game of Thrones has broken so many ratings records in the past that the possibility of another premium cable series ever coming within shouting distance already seemed unlikely.
Yet somehow, the high-fantasy juggernaut continues to top itself with each new season, and it hit another high water mark with Sunday night’s “The Dragon and the Wolf.”
An estimated 16.5 million viewers watched the show during its first airing on Sunday night.
Streaming services may bring that number to 20 million before the week is out.
Those are impressive stats for any series wrapping up its seventh season.
They’re downright astonishing for a pay-channel show featuring a dense narrative and sprawling cast of characters that make casual fandom virtually impossible.
Of course, GoT isn’t the sort of show that fans are likely to jump ship on, a la Theon Greyjoy, with just a handful of episodes remaining.
So in a way, the massive viewership was something of a foregone conclusion.
But the show’s frenzied seventh season was considerably more popular with viewers than it was with critics, many of whom felt that key scenes felt rushed, the show abandoned many of the rules it had spent seasons painstakingly establishing, and the story occasionally reached eye-roll-inducing levels of absurdity.
For the most part, we were thoroughly riveted, but we have to admit that there were moments that took the necessary suspension of disbelief to absurd levels, even by the standards of a show that features a freakin’ zombie dragon.
The most glaring “oh, come on!” moments came during the season’s penultimate installment, which saw Jon and his motley crew of wight-hunters headed north of the Wall for a mission loaded with deus ex machina moments (Gendry runs awfully fast for someone who’s never seen snow!) and other instances that seriously strain credulity.
(So who among the aqua-phobic White Walkers dove into the water to attach those chains to Viserion?)
But these technical story-telling issues are to be expected from a show that has so many plot strands to tie together in such a short period of time.
We’re less forgiving of the many reunion scenes we’ve been awaiting for several seasons that were given short shrift, instead of being treated as the long-awaited tear-jerkers the audience deserves.
As the above behind-the-scenes featurette reminds us, it’s the cast and the richly-imagined they helped bring to life that we’ll remember more than the special effects (as jaw-dropping as they often are).
Showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss would do well to remember that in the episodes to come.
The show has just six episodes left to wrap up a story of a scale and scope that television has never seen before.
Short of a full-blown Sopranos cut-to-black, it would be nearly impossible for GoT to deliver a wholly unsatisfactory finale.
We just hope the battle for the Iron Throne concludes in a fashion that’s deserving of the richly complex and beautifully realized story that brought us to this point.
Watch Game of Thrones online at TV Fanatic to relive all 67 episodes in time before what’s sure to be a bittersweet curtain call.

Tina Fey and Cake Yelling: See Twitter"s Mixed Reactions!
Before the news broke that Steve Bannon was leaving the White House to spend more time with the other three Horsemen, the biggest political news of the day was Tina Fey"s Cake Sketch from SNL"s Weekend Update.
We"ll be honest — we watched it more than once this morning.
In the video, Tina Fey devours a sheet cake in a frighteningly messy manner while roasting Trump over his horrendous response to the Nazi rally and terrorist attack in Charlottesville that left one dead and dozens more injured over the weekend.
Trump"s initial weak response was bad enough, but to double down on saying that maybe some Nazis are decent folks days later was monstrous.
Personally, I responded to that bewildering press conference by walking to get ice cream with my roommate. According to this bit of sketch comedy, Tina Fey had a similar idea — to cope by devouring an entire cake.
The video has received a mixed reception, however, as some perceived Tina Fey"s skit as suggesting that people shouldn"t counter-protest when Nazis come to town. Tina does basically say that, but it"s part of a skit and some aren"t convinced that we"re supposed to read that as genuine advice.
Others see the entire skit as a parody of people choosing to be inactive in the face of evil. Satirizing people who just "sit out" of conflicts isn"t the same as promoting that way of thinking, right?
Twitter was pretty divided, but here"s what people had to say:
1. First, someone who worked with Tina
Honestly, we might try out some cake yelling. But with friends, and with tidy slices.
2. High praise …
Like the rest of the world, JK Rowling has to keep up with US events even though she’s a Brit.
3. More cake talk …
When you haven’t had cake in a really long time, all of this cake talk gets to you
4. Lady Gaga spoke up
A lot of people feel frustrated and powerless and turn to comfort food. The stars: they’re just like us!
5. Grilled cheese is nice
All that we can think about with this is Kristen Stewart comparing heterosexuality to eating grilled cheese.
6. Tina Fey got some criticism, though
And people stepped up to defend her

Corinne Olympios: I Maybe Shouldn"t Have Mixed Alcohol and Drugs; My Bad!
Corinne Olympios seems like a fun person who’s partied before, so it always seemed kind of odd that she blacked out for the scandalous poolside sex romp on Bachelor in Paradise.
That’s one of the reasons that, when the news first broke that production had been shut down, we wondered how much of the story we weren’t getting.
It turns out that Corinne’s figured out what happened … and it has to do with mixing drugs and booze.
So, you know when your pill bottle says to not mix drugs with alcohol?
That’s not just a suggestion.
Now, maybe you think that it’s overblown and only on the label like government mandates, like a lot of expiration dates.
Maybe you’ve watched people crush their prescription pills, snort them, and then down a half-dozen shots of rum and just keep on partying with zero apparent consequences.
But different pills have different effects and interactions.
And different people’s bodies handle those combinations in very different ways.
What’s good for the proverbial goose could kill the gander … or at least make them have a blacked out pool hookup with DeMario Jackson.
(Which would be fine … except for the blacked out part, and everything that followed)
TMZ reports that Corinne Olympios had mixed booze and pills that day.
It sounds like she’d taken prescription medication before she began drinking, and so when she drank, the two interacted and resulted in … well, everything that happened.
This report came out at the taping of the Bachelor in Paradise reunion special, which filmed on Saturday.
TMZ didn’t provide any direct quotes from Corinne explaining, and we don’t know the exact medications involved.
(Which, you know, is totally her private medical business)
But we’ll get to hear it all once this season of Bachelor in Paradise airs its reunion special.
Well before that, of course, viewers will actually see Corinne and DeMario’s pool sex encounter for themselves.
(With obvious censorship and editing where appropriate)
You might be thinking gee, why didn’t Corinne mention this earlier?
Remember that, first and foremost, she didn’t know what happened.
She was told about what happened in the pool by the show’s production after a producer saw what was happening and worried that a sexual assault had taken place.
Warner Bros’ own investigation determined that there was no sexual assault.
More convincingly (no offense to WB, but internal investigations are what they are), Corinne closed the book on the topic, expressing that she was satisfied with their findings.
That must have been a horrifying ordeal for her.
It must have been awful for DeMario, too.
While no one involved — Corinne included — ever actually accused him of sexual assault or any sort of wrongdoing, some people added two plus two and got “DeMario’s a bad guy!”
There’s a long, sad history of racist accusations against black men for sexual assault when it comes to hookups with white women.
DeMario spoke about how much the scandal impacted his mother.
He’s been cleared of all wrongdoing, officially, which is great.
But it must have been awful.
Corinne wasn’t mixing pills with drinks to party or anything, but her story is still a good cautionary tale, folks:
Pay attention to the instructions on your medications.
Don’t mix them with alcohol or other medicines (prescribed or alternative or whatever) without knowing how they’re going to interact.
You might get sick, you might die.
Or you might do something that you regret forever.
Everyday people don’t have producers and crew members to stop them from driving when they’re unaware of their own actions.
As bad as this scandal was, it could have been so much worse.

Jessa Duggar Opens Up on "Mixed Emotions" Over Jinger"s Wedding
It’s been an eventful year in the lives of the Duggars – but we guess in a family of 21, every year is eventful.
2016 concluded with Jinger Duggar getting married, and despite the fact that there have been two births, a health scare, and about a dozen mini-scandals in the months since, Counting On producers are still painstakingly rehashing every detail of Jinger’s wedding.
Even though the focus on Jinger’s nuptials appears to have contributed to a plunge in Counting On’s ratings, it seems the show won’t be changing course any time soon.
On last night’s episode, we finally got to see Jinger’s wedding in its entirety, and the feeling on social media was that fans found the whole thing a bit anti-climactic.
(It’s hard to blame them, considering just about every detail of the ceremony was revealed several months ago when it took place.)
However, while the episode didn’t offer much in the way of surprises, there were still some touching moments, such as when Jessa Duggar paid tribute to her newlywed younger sister:
Jessa began by revealing that she was “probably not the best influence” growing up (It’s anyone’s guess as to what constitutes mischief in the Duggar compound. Failure to properly memorize a psalm?), and says later in life it was Jinger who influenced her:
“But once you started to get a little bit older you encouraged me to do the right thing,” Jessa said.
“Even though you’re younger than me,” she added, “I’ve always thought of you as one of my greatest role models.”
While most of the tears were the result of profound joy, Jessa admitted to struggling with mixed emotions as a result of her sister’s plans to relocate from Arkansas to Laredo, Texas.
“I think it’s starting to sink in more and more how much we’re going to miss Jinger when she moves away,” the teary-eyed mother of two remarked at one point.
“I don’t think we fully calculated all the ramifications of how it was going to play out that you were going take her 12 hours away from us.”
For as much as she anticipated becoming a Vuolo, Jinger seemed to struggle with the reality of leaving home for the first time as well.
“Give us a couple months, and then come visit us,” Jinger told her sister, as she began to tear up herself.
Sounds like some difficult times lie ahead for the Duggars.
But on the bright side, at leas fans can finally look forward to a new storyline!
