On this installment of the Lifetime reality series, Abby vowed to no longer overlook her other charges nw that Maddie is out of the picture.

But did she follow up on this promise?

Later on, meanwhile, Abby assigned Brynn and Kendall head-to-head duets with male partners.

We also saw Ashlee got a bit insane, fuming big time after Jess called out Abby’s favoritism for Brynn.

Farrah Abraham SLAMS Other Teen Moms: They"re Exploiting Their Kids For Fame!

Farrah Abraham saying awful things in interviews is nothing new.

Farrah offering up a hot take on other people’s integrity and parenting skills, however, is at least somewhat unexpected.

We’ve already discussed Farrah’s interview on the Allegedly podcast earlier this week, but the thing is so loaded with WTF?! moments, we’re gonna need to attack it from multiple angles.

After discussing her many, many (many) plastic surgery procedures, Farrah offered up a word salad tossed in Palin’s Own dressing:

“I know how to give passion more into the universe, and I think it lacks it so much that I wouldn’t be happy if I didn’t improve where I was,” she said.

“That’s the kind of soul that I got.” 

If you’re thinking to yourself that it sounds like someone cut up a bunch of bumper stickers, threw them into a bag and pulled them out at random, you’re definitely not alone.

But don’t worry, Farrah quickly set aside the pseudo-spiritual mumbo-jumbo to do what she does best – throw serious shade:

During a discussion about Farrah’s many business ventures, host Theo Vonn asked if she would consider having another kid in order to cash in by raising her public profile.

Farrah responded as only she could:

“That option has been taken by all of my other cast members,” she answered.

“They have really milked the sh-t out of that one.” 

Farrah’s been criticized for her parenting several times in recent weeks, so it’s not unreasonable for her to respond in kind.

However, it is unreasonable for her to suggest that the other women on Teen Mom had kids just to get famous!

Of course, “unreasonable” is pretty much Farrah’s middle name, so there’s very little she could do to surprise us at this point.

The new season of Teen Mom: OG debuts on MTV on August 22.

Vanessa Marcotte: Body of Jogger Found Stripped, Burned Near Mom"s Home

She was a New York City-based Google employee home in Princeton, Massachusetts for the weekend, just over an hour west of Boston.

On Sunday, August 7th, Vanessa Marcotte went out for a jog around 1 p.m., but when she didn’t return three hours later, her family called the police.

Marcotte’s body was located in the woods around 8:20 p.m, a half mile from her mother’s home.  Several reports state that the 27-year-old was partially buried with burns to the hands, face and feet. 

“We have a horrible set of facts, a horrible circumstance here right now,” Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr said, according to the Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

“A preliminary review of the body has led the detectives to believe that this is a homicide investigation.  I must stress that we do not know if this is a random act. We’re asking the residents of Princeton to use an abundance of caution.”

Marcotte was a 2011 graduate of Boston University and was an avid runner, according to the Telegram & Gazette.  

Google released a statement upon learning the news, according to CBS Boston.

“Vanessa Marcotte was a much loved member of the Google team, working in our New York office for the last year and a half, and known for her ubiquitous smile, passion for volunteer work, and love of Boston sports.

“We are deeply shocked and saddened, and our thoughts are with her family and friends.” We are deeply shocked and saddened, and our thoughts are with her family and friends.”

She is the second victim this summer to be attacked and killed while jogging in broad daylight.

Last week, Karina Vetrano was strangled to death while running in Queen, New York.  Police believe the 30-year-old was also sexually assaulted before being killed.

Authorities are asking the public to contact 508-453-7589 with any information related to Marcotte’s death.

17 Celebrity Moms Who Kept Their Babies a Secret

It"s nearly impossible to keep a secret when you"re in the public eye. 

Still, these celebrity moms were able to pull it off. In fact, they"re so good at keeping a secret, they were actually able to keep the news of their own babies under wraps. For a little while, at least.

Take a look below to find out which moms were able to keep the ultimate secret from the media!

1. Alexis Bledel

We only recently learned of the baby Alexis Bledel and Vincent Kartheiser had last fall. The couple has been pretty fantastic about keeping secrets, as they also kept their wedding ceremony under wraps in 2014.

2. Kerry Washington

Kerry Washington was able to keep the news of giving birth to her daughter Isabelle for two weeks, mainly because everyone was so distracted by the season finale of Scandal.

3. Hilarie Burton

Hilarie Burton and Jeffrey Dean Morgan were pros at keeping their son’s arrival a secret. Only two weeks after they even announced their relationship, they welcomed their baby boy, Gus.

4. Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock finalized two separate adoptions without the media finding out right away. The first was a process she’d begun with husband Jesse James, and following their divorce, she decided to continue the process as a single mother. She adopted son Louis in 2010 and daughter Leila in 2015.

5. Adele

Even though she attended plenty of awards shows, Adele was able to keep her pregnancy a secret for seven months. Then, after giving birth to her son, she refused to share photos or even tell his name for almost six months.

6. Ellen Pompeo

Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery’s second daughter, Sienna May Ivery, was born with the help of a surrogate mother. They didn’t announce her arrival until two months after she was born.

Dance Moms Reunion Recap: Farewell to a Legend

Last night’s reunion of #DanceMoms was all about saying goodbye to the golden sisters of Lifetime, Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler.

Basically, so was this entire season. But we digress …

If you watch Dance Moms online, prepare for a lot of tears as the women of the Abby Lee Dance Company pay tribute to the siblings.

Maddie reflects on the fact that Nia Frazier, Mackenzie and herself are the only original cast members, so there is, like, so much history.

Kendall Vertes, another longtime mainstay, agrees and says they have been through so much and traveled together, it’s been amazing.

The plot line of Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms was milked to death this year, but it really was a huge undertaking for the ALDC.

In the aftermath, Kalani Hilliker says she has a shot at the top of the pyramid with Maddie out, so when one door closes, another opens.

Brynn Rumfallo says she’s grown incredibly attached to the two and says that she does everything with Mackenzie Ziegler in particular.

She’s not just losing a teammate, but a BFF.

JoJo Siwa says that for all of them, Dance Moms has inspired them and encouraged so many people across the world to dance too.

Cue the clips of Maddie and Mackenzie when they were young and starting out, and it’s hard to believe the young women they’ve become.

Maddie says she has a lot of memories with the girls and cherishes them, and through tears, prepares to do one last solo for the crowd.

Kalani says it’s hard to see them leave but knows they’re moving on to bigger, better things. Kendall says Mackenzie is like a little sister.

Basically, it’s one big love-fest on Lifetime.

Several weeks of craziness and drama came to an end on Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19.

Yup, this was the reunion special.

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19 Online

On this installment of the Lifetime reality series, Jai Rodriguez brought back together the cast, following Maddie and Mackenzie’s final performance with the team.

As you might expect, there was A LOT for everyone to discuss and debate.

Later on, dramatic events from Season 6 were discussed in interesting detail, while the mini moms talked about the future.

Also, as you’ll see when you click on the video above to watch Dance Moms online, junior elite team performs and last grievances were aired before Melissa’s final goodbye.

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19 Recap: Hello, Goodbye!

With Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler officially outta here, Lifetime began a new chapter Tuesday with Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19.

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 19 Online

It was reunion time, and Abby Lee Miller was 15 minutes late.

“This does not happen every day,” Abby exclaims, before stating that she needs a new bra and the girls perform to kill time on stage.

Finally on stage, the ALDC shot-caller says Maddie will be going on to judge So You Think You Can Dance, and that she takes credit.

For all of this. No delusions of grandeur on her part at all.

As for Ashlee, one of the most controversial figures throughout the season, Jill went at it with her, saying Ashlee “didn’t know her place.”

Maddie performs “Lizzie Borden,” her creepiest dance yet.

Soon it was the Mini Moms’ time to come on stage, and the regular moms are obviously keen to belittle them for not grasping “sacrifice.” 

Melissa thinks the Mini Moms assume they’re the “new generation of Abby,” while Holly notes that they will never “have that legacy.”

Hilariously, these are real comments from people.

We love to talk about how Dance Moms is fake even by reality show standards, and that’s true, but you can’t feign some of this bitterness!

View Slideshow: 13 Reality TV Show Hoaxes You Totally Fell For

Regarding the future of the ALDC, Miller says she is “still working” and running her Pittsburgh studio, while “trying to put the fires out.”

Federal bankruptcy charges can be a b!tch.

Holly says this season was tough since Abby never showed up on time and all the moms constantly had to wonder what her deal is.

If you watch Dance Moms online, that was true.

On a serious note, Kira Girard wasn’t around much this season, during which she had a son and gave Melissa guardianship of Kalani.

Kira expresses that she is thankful for Melissa since, otherwise, Kalani might have been “replaced” for good in the ranks of the ALDC.

Finally, the reunion concluded with “The Best of Melissa,” showing a montage of great moments, highs and lows from Maddie’s mom.

There will be “no other Melissa, Maddie or Mackenzie,” Jill says, thankful for her time with Melissa and noting that they’ll be friends forever.

Even Abby gets a little choked up at her exit, saying:

“With my whole heart … this is just the beginning.”

13 Terrible Celebrity Moms You Can Be Glad Aren"t Yours

Hollywood has produced a long list of great mothers, to be sure.

These women are not on it, though. No sir, no ma"am. No way.

Think we"re being too harsh, or maybe not giving them a chance?

We beg to differ. Scroll through this slideshow of the worst this town has to offer and try to decide not whether everyone on it is a terrible mom …

… but who is the worst of the worst. The competition is stiff.

In honor of Mother"s Day, let"s look at the contenders!

1. Kate Gosselin

Kate Gosselin has eight children. And given her non-stop string of questionable behavior and shameless antics, we feel sorry for each and every one of them. Sorry, we’re not buying the “working mom” bit … there are ways to work and put food on the table while still being a more tolerable human being who sets a better example. Jon is not exactly a prize himself but let’s be real.

2. Kris Jenner

Kris Jenner is sort of evil. Okay, more than sort of. She likes using her kids to make a lot of money. There’s a reason they call her the Momager, and why she is trying to trademark the term Momager … and why the Kardashian and Jenner children act the way they do, with the priorities they seem to embody.

3. Dina Lohan

Dina Lohan is responsible for Lindsay Lohan. What else needs to be said? Well, this: Dina Lohan is a wannabe Momager … sort of like a less shrewd, less intelligent, substance abuse-ravaged version of Kris Jenner.

4. Jenelle Evans

Jenelle Evans, mother to two sons, only has custody of one of them because of her train wreck past, and while many young moms turn things around, she continues to rack up arrests – 15, at least, by our count – to this day, and remains as unstable as when she first burst onto the Teen Mom 2 scene. If not more so.

5. Farrah Abraham

Farrah Abraham has starred in a sex tape AND brought a life into the world. Not many women can say that … well, actually a decent number of celebrities can these days. But Farrah has taken it to a new level, not just with her porn career, but with the associated lies she tells about it, and the way she conducts herself on a daily basis, including with regards to Sophia, her daughter. Her poor, innocent daughter.

6. Nadya Suleman

Nadya Suleman is best known as the Octomom, because she had eight kids at one time. And boy do they look happy at this party. But it should be the SUCK-tomom, because she already had six children she couldn’t support before she had eight more implanted inside her clown car uterus by a shady doctor to a total of 14. Which she can’t support and occasionally commits welfare fraud on behalf of. While being an embarrassment to America and humanity as a whole. We could go on.

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 18 Recap: Tha Last Dance

We all knew it was coming, but that didn’t make it easier.

On Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 18, Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler performed their last competition with the ALC before saying goodbye …

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 18 Online

If you watch Dance Moms online, you knew that this was not only going to be a crucial plot point of Season 6, but a contentious event.

The girls’ mom, Melissa Gisoni, made it clear she wasn’t happy with Abby Lee Miller, who resented that Maddie and Mackenzie are bolting.

As a result, the ALDC shot-caller is “lashing out.”

According to Jessalynn Siwa, Abby is trying to hide her feelings but doing a very poor job of it. Melissa, for her part, was pretty emotional.

“I’m not really ready for it to end,” Gisoni says.

The farewell coronation she was hoping for didn’t materialize, however, when some of the other girls were presented with the spotlight.

“This is supposed to be Maddie and Mackenzie’s great week for fun stuff and now it is not even about my kids at all,” she lamented. 

When one of the other mothers calls Melissa out on her statements, she responded, “This is my kids last week, honey. Make it nice.”

Did she forget that Abby Lee Mille is involved?

To hear Abby tell it, she’s not sad Maddie, Mackenzie and Melissa are leaving, but rather she’s just worried about her current students.

As such, she all but ignores the Zieglers after their final efforts while congratulating Areana for her emotional performance at the event.

Miller did offer one parting shot to M&M:

View Slideshow: 13 Reality TV Show Hoaxes You Totally Fell For

“This will be the last time that I work with Maddie and Mackenzie. It’s exciting, it’s fun, it’s wonderful.”

“It’s kind of like when you graduate from high school and you’re off to something, maybe not better, maybe not bigger, but different.”

“But you’re excited about it, so it’s not a bad thing, it’s not a sad thing. It is, maybe, perhaps for some of you, a blessing in disguise.”

“You never know what your future holds. They don’t. They think they have it all planned out. Maybe, maybe not, who knows? Just saying.”

At awards, Maddie places first with her solo but Areana beats out Mackenzie, placing second overall. But that’s not why Melissa was upset.

Hurt by Miller’s lack of emotion regarding her daughters’ departure, Gisoni quasi-lashed out, while Abby told her to be more “grateful.”

Not the best parting of ways in human history.

Still, for the Ziegler girls and their mom, the experience of being in the ALDC and the show as much more positive than not, on the whole.

“Overall our time at the ALDC has been fabulous, exciting, adventurous,” Melissa told the camera. “More good times than bad time for sure.”

Jessa Duggar: My Mom"s Not Raising Spurgeon, I Am!

It’s only been six months since Jessa Duggar gave birth to her first son, but the 23-year-old mother of one already sounds like a seasoned veteran when she discusses her plans for little Spurgeon’s upbringing.

“Spurgeon is still pretty young, but I’m sure that as he continues to grow, I will find that I tend to do some things differently than my mom did,” Jessa tells Us magazine.

“That’s the beauty of the individual family. No one is identical.”

Since her mom is famous for no other reason than the fact that she raised a veritable army of kids, it’s a bit surprising to hear Jessa say she plans to go against Michelle’s teachings in any way.

Even more surprising is the fact that according to Jessa, mom is no meddler:

“Every time I come to my mom for advice, she always reminds me that I’ve got this,” Jessa says.

“There’s no pressure to do things just exactly how she did them, but I’m so grateful for all her advice and help..

“Even when I feel overwhelmed, she’s always there to encourage me and tell me, ‘You’re doing a great job!’ That gives me the courage to trust my instincts and do what I feel is best for my baby.”

View Slideshow: Jessa Duggar Baby Photos: Welcome #BabySeewald!

Of course, Michelle and Jim Bob may have lost some of their Parents of the Year cred in the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals.

The problem isn’t so much that they raised a deviant, as it is that they covered up Josh’s crimes and allowed his behavior continue unchecked.

We doubt that Jessa intended to throw shade with her remarks, but it’s hard to imagine Josh never crossed her mind when she stated her intention to live her life differently.

Whatever the case, the Seewalds are clearly committed to parenting in their own style.

After all, it doesn’t get any more “different” than naming your kid Spurgeon.

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 17 Recap: Tha Next Maddie

On Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 17, the moms made their frustration with Abby Lee Miller be known … even more than they usually do.

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 17 Online

Obviously, if you watch Dance Moms online, you know that tension between the parents and the head shot-caller of the ALDC is ongoing.

You can imagine, then, how off the hook it was given Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms – and everyone else angling to fill the void.

At the beginning of “Mini Madness,” Miller told Maddie, her longtime favorite, that the time has come to pass the torch to another dancer.

With Maddie and her younger sister Mackenzie Ziegler leaving the Lifetimeshow and ALDC imminently, the hunt was on to fill her shoes.

Abby tapped Brynn Rumfallo to perform a solo based on Ziegler’s old dance number, a decision that the moms were disappointed with.

To say the least.

The girls, meanwhile, attended a new competition where Rumfallo and Ziegler were pitted against each other to compete for the glory!

Maddie’s mom, Melissa Gisoni, was disappointed in her own right – over her daughter’s dance not being as challenging as past performances.

“Maddie can do every type of dance, and do it well … Brynn is good at what she can do,” Gisoni said, summing up her point of view.

“Brynn and Maddie will have solos this week and musical theater is typically simple choreography so I’m not thrilled about the solo.”

Brynn’s mom, Ashlee Allen, said Maddie’s solo is “boring… like beyond boring” and “this could be a good opportunity for Brynn to shine.” 

She added:

View Slideshow: 13 Reality TV Show Hoaxes You Totally Fell For

“I’m watching Maddie’s solo and it seems a little bit too young for her.”

“Honestly, the biggest problem with her solo is the music.”

After all that, Miller commended Ziegler for her ability to make whichever routine given to her look amazing. That was rehearsal, though.

Did her routine live up to that same Gold Maddie Standard?

The judges at the competition clearly thought otherwise.

Maddie ranked fourth place in the teen division, while Brynn ranked third in the junior division. Not exactly what either had hoped for.

To wit, does Miller’s search for Tha Next Maddie rage on? Or will Abby double down on Brynn as the heir apparent in coming weeks?

We shall see, fans. We shall see.

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15 Recap: Melissa"s Big News

Last night on Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15, Abby Lee Miller saw her world shattered after Melissa shared some stunning news.

Literally stunning.

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15 Online

Pretty darn shocking. That’s all we can say about Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 15. Yes, the entire show is a staged sham, but still.

Tuesday night, Melissa Gisoni finally dropped the bombshell regarding Maddie Ziegler’s fate on the ALDC and the hit Lifetime show.

Miller tried to hide her emotions about Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms, but it was obvious that the news left the boss lady reeling.

JoJo Siwa’s mom Jessalynn noted, accurately, that Ziegler’s upcoming departure would do a real number on the controversial coach.

The timing was also suspect.

Nia Frazier’s mom Holly said “I’m so glad Melissa told us the news, but her timing is a little off because this is not just a regular dance.”

“This is a dance inspired by a movie that’s coming out. You want to do a phenomenal job and unfortunately it’s a very emotional time.”

There’s no sense hiding it. Miller admitted to the other dancers that Maddie leaving will no doubt impact the team and the show tremendously.

But it goes on. It goes on.

At the Fierce National Dance Competition, the ALDC team did a contemporary routine inspired by The Huntsman: Winter’s War.

Their routine ranked first.

Fittingly, the Ziegler sisters (Maddie and Mackenzie) were the focal point, as the routine was about two sisters battling it out to the death.

Art imitating life, maybe?

Kendall Vertes, Brynn Rumfallo, Kalani Hilliker, Siwa and Frazier also participated, as you’ll see when you watch Dance Moms online.

Does anyone care? Or will Maddie leaving be too much for the show to sustain as it heads into a potential seventh season next year?

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14 Recap: JoJo Steals the Show

On Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14, Abby Lee Miller welcomed back an ALDC Pittsburgh veteran, Sarah, to dance with the team.

Tempers also flared hard … real hard. 

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14 Online

The crux of the tension on Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 14? Kendall Vertes walking out of the Abby Lee Dance Company studio.

For the second time in as many weeks.

How did we get there? In “JoJo Steals the Show,” Abby Lee Miller announced that Maddie Ziegler and Vertes will have a duet. A big duet.

At the New York Dance Experience.

The best friends were so hyped to do a routine together, but Ziegler’s mom Melissa Gisoni told Abby that Maddie would miss a rehearsal.

With Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms, this wasn’t a surprise, but immediately, Miller second-guessed her decision about the duet.

Shortly thereafter, with Maddie unavailable, Miller asked JoJo Siwa to step in. Would JoJo rise to the occasion save the day for the ALDC?

Yes … but there was a big twist coming.

During practice, Miller realized that the duet was actually more of a solo, as the two dancers didn’t have that much interaction at all.

As such, Miller gave Vertes and Siwa the chance to show her their version of the dance, with Abby Lee picking the winner accordingly.

Ultimately, Siwa got the nod and the solo.

Miller then asked Kendall why she’s not performing as well these days, and Vertes’ response was that Ziegler won’t dance with her.

Following this altercation with her coach, Vertes got mad at Miller and peaced out of the studio; Ziegler’s mom was there to comfort her.  

Miller clarified that she didn’t really take the routine from Vertes, but rather “Kendall gave JoJo that solo” by not elevating her performance.

JoJo, in any case, was laser focused.

That’s right, Abby Lee Miller and company traveled all the way to Las Vegas in order to perform multiple routines, including a unique David Bowie tribute.

Later, on conflict once again arose within the group, this time ensuing when Kendall defended Ashlee.

Elsewhere during the installment, the mothers grew concerned that their kids were too involved in the team’s drama. But isn’t there team drama every week? Isn’t that the crux of this series?

Dance Moms Recap: Brynn"s Big Moment, Jill"s Low Point

Forever in the shadow of Maddie Ziegler along with everyone else, Brynn Rumfallo’s time to shine arrived on Dance Moms last night.

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 12 Online

Picking up where last week left off, Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 12 saw Abby Lee Miller gifting the 12-year-old dancer a trio.

What does that mean? Brynn is allowed to pick two teammates.

If her trio wins, and beats Maddie Ziegler’s group (she also gets two teammates), she will score a permanent spot on her ALDC team.

Wow, this doesn’t sound contrived whatsoever from the fakest reality show of all time. Lifetime just has this kind of drama handed to it! 

Jill Vertes, mother of Kendall, makes it clear she doesn’t want Brynn to triumph because her mother, Ashlee, will join their studio if so.

“Brynn’s a cute kid. I don’t have a problem with her at all, but I do have a problem with Ashlee always picking on my kid,” Jill laments.

“I can’t have that,” she adds.

Jill makes no bones about the fact that she hopes Maddie’s trio of dancers with her daughter, Kendall, and JoJo Siwa wins first-place.

Alas. 

Brynn’s dance with Kalani Hilliker and Mackenzie Ziegler, “The World’s Ours,” ends up taking first-place in the junior duet-trio division.

Maddie, with her contemporary jazz number “The Golden Girls,” places second, and naturally, the moms question the results immediately.

View Slideshow: 13 Reality TV Show Hoaxes You Totally Fell For

The judges confirm Brynn’s team won by two points, so as promised, Miller presents Rumfallo with her official elite junior team jacket.

Jill is just crushed.

“I can not rejoice in Brynn getting her jacket, sorry,” Jill tells the Lifetime cameras, and then exchanges some harsh words with Ashlee.

After Ashlee slams her for trying to “discredit” Brynn and her success, Jill tells her to “go cry somewhere.” Damn, those fightin’ words!

Later, in the dressing room, Ashlee also vents about the moms’ actions, while the back-and-forth makes its way back to the girls as well.

“Ashlee said you were mean to her daughter,” Kendall says to her mom. “Ashlee said that all the moms are mean to her daughter.”

Apparently someone doesn’t watch Dance Moms online if they’re at all surprised by this. Which is probably a good thing in the end.

In any case, it gets worse.

Jill shares what Kendall said with Abby, and confronts Jill, who responds by calling Ashlee a “stupid you know what.” Feel the burn. 

“I’m not going to listen to her lies!” Jill says, while Ashlee replies, “I’m always the bad guy because everybody turns against me and I’m stupid!”

“They don’t want us here, fine. I’m done!” Ashlee declares, storming out and bringing her victorious but devastated daughter with her.

“Jill and Kendall say that you’re an awful person,” Brynn says, fighting back the tears. “And she created it and she doesn’t even care!”

Sad.

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 11 Recap: The Maddie Rumor

On Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 11, Maddie Ziegler ended up nominated for a big People’s Choice Award … with interesting results.

Also, the mothers got really pissed at Abby Lee Miller again. We know. If you watch Dance Moms online, that has to just STUN you.

Watch Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 11 Online

Picking up after the horror show that was last week, Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 11 saw all the attention focused on young Maddie.

What else is new, right?

“Oh my god, my daughter is just – she’s a star!” Maddie’s mom Melissa says, after she won the People’s Choice Award she was up for?

“Maddie didn’t even think she had a chance among these huge celebrities,” she added, and well, that means she’s a celeb too now.

That implicit humble brag underscores the fact that there will be a lot of pressure on Maddie from here on out, which isn’t lost on Abby:

“Now that Maddie is a household name, everyone will be looking at her to make a mistake. It’s my job to make sure her dancing is perfection.”

Of course, Melissa brings the award to the studio with her, placing it right where the moms sit. Talk about a passive-aggressive move.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Maddie will be leaving the show after five seasons, and confirmed this fact hours before the episode aired.

While it was long-rumored that this year would see Maddie Ziegler leaving Dance Moms, it was the first time she’s addressed the rumor.

“I am leaving, but it’ll be a good thing because we’re moving on to cool things,” she said, acknowledging her gratitude for Abby Lee.”

Dance Moms propelled her to fame, but three Sia music videos – “Chandelier,” “Elastic Heart” and “Big Girls Cry” – took it to a new level.

She is also starring in Sister, a movie written and directed by Sia, and will be a judge on the new season of So You Think You Can Dance.

Will you miss Maddie?

Of course you will. The bigger question is whether the show needs her to go on, or whether it’s reached its natural expiration date as is.

Courtney Stodden Consoled by Heidi Montag After Mom"s Gross Confession

Blonds hugging blonds after moms make creepy confessions.  That is what Lifetime brings us every Tuesday on The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition.

Last night, Courtney Stodden and her mother, Krista couldn"t get through an interview because Courtney was so upset by Krista"s admission.

You see, children.  When a mom allows her 16-year-old daughter to marry a 51-year-old, it"s a sign that mom may not be playing with a full deck of cards.

And when mom admits to kinda/sorta falling in love with her daughter"s husband at some point, that"s something everyone else saw coming.

Fishwrapper shared a clip in which Krista stood up and started to remove her mic, telling the camera that she was "emotionally attached to [Courtney"s] husband."

Errr, que?

"I admitted that I told your husband that I loved him," Krista said to Courtney.

"That"s the first time I heard her say that," Courtney told whatever producer drew the short straw and had to sit in on their interview.

"I"ve been saying it on my interviews!" Krista insisted.

"Why don"t you ask your husband what his fantasy was," Krista then asked her daughter, something I hope to never, ever hear again. Ever.

"She fell in love with my husband," Courtney told the cameras.  "A mom isn"t supposed to do that."

This is like the time Jackie Taylor got too coked up to function at a high school fashion show on Beverly Hills, 90210…BUT WORSE.

After their sex talk ended, Courtney stormed out of the room with a glass of wine and her hair bun head piece (we won"t address the contrast of her bun"s color against her real hair).    Heidi Montag went into her room and tried to calm the child bride down.

Watch the clip below to see it all unfold.

Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 10 Recap: Abby Lee Miller Horror Show

If you watch Dance Moms online, you know that for all intents and purposes, every episode may as well be an “Abby Lee Horror Story.”

Only Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 10 has the distinction of formally being titled this, however, so you know s–t was gonna get real …

As Dance Moms Season 6 Episode 10 got underway, Abby announced that star Maddie Ziegler would tell the Lizzie Borden story.

Maddie, 13, remains her favorite pupil. By a wide margin.

Newcomer Brynn Rumfallo, 12, and Kendall Vertes, 13, are given the Black Dahlia and Natalie Wood solos for the routine, respectively.

Abby also opted for a particularly dark group routine, announcing that her dancers would perform “The Cult,” a contemporary piece.

Says Miller of the inspiration for this particular work:

“I think every parent has concerns about their child falling prey to a cult. And sometimes they’re even brainwashed to drink the Kool-Aid.”

Holly Frazier’s response, which we’re all thinking?

“I have heard people reference [this] as a cult.”

Indeed. And there’s no mistaking the fact that the concept is a bit much for pre-teens and the girls are somewhat confused by the theme.

Mackenzie Ziegler, 11, thinks a cult is simply made up of “bad people,” while Holly and Jessalynn Siwa try their best to explain better.

While the girls could not settle on a clear definition of a cult before going on stage, it did not impact their performance. They took first!

“I love when our kids dance as a team together and I think that’s what’s important,” Kendall’s mother, Jill Vertes, says.

“Maybe the ALDC being a cult isn’t a bad thing after all.”

Wow, someone’s been drinking the Kool-Aid. Literally.

Brynn’s mother, Ashlee, presents the team with cups of it, saying, “The ALDC is a cult and they need their own Kool-Aid, so I got them some.”

“I think they should drink their Kool-Aid every now and then.”

Matt Baier: I Don"t Have 7 Kids, Their Moms Want Publicity!

This f—ing guy.

Yesterday, a sneak peek of part two of Teen Mom OG‘s reunion special showed Gary Shirley and Amber Portwood’s fiance Matt Baier embroiled in an argument over Baier’s very shady past.

“This is actually last season stuff that we’re talking about right now,” Baier told Dr. Drew about Shirley accusations (abuse, unpaid child support and a police record).

“And we’re dealing with your whole life of trash, too,” Shirley pointed out.

BURN!

A source on the set told Radar Online that in part two,  Baier claims to have five children, not the seven or eight that have been reported.

 “Matt absolutely denied having seven kids, and said those women are only seeking publicity,” the source said.

“Amber continues to support Matt through all of this.”

Shirley “brought up additional allegations against Matt that have never been made public,” the source added.

“There are serious concerns about Matt and his health.”

Baier is currently being sued for child support from several of his baby mamas.  Not only that, but he’s both taunted and hit on Portwood’s Teen Mom co-stars, including Farrah Abraham, Jenelle Evans and Teen Mom 2’s Kailyn Lowry (he was very cruel to her).

Part two of the reunion special airs next Monday on MTV.
