Javi Marroquin Achieves #PeakBro Status, Opens CrossFit Gym

If you’re anything like us, you’ve avoided CrossFit and its enthusiasts with the sort of aggressive disdain that most folks reserve for sanctimonious vegans or people who love to tell you about their dreams.


But for reasons we don’t fully understand, the fitness brand is wildly popular these days, and Javi Marroquin is looking to capitalize on the trend.



Javi took to Instagram this week to announce that he’s opening his own CrossFit gym in Smyrna, Delaware, which is apparently a place.


Marroquin announced the news with a triumphant video addressed to his followers.


“DREAM COME TRUE!” Javi captioned the announcement below.


“So I’m taking a big leap here and going to open up my own business,” he continued.



“This has always been in the back of my mind for years.


“I was always scared to take the first jump and go after it. After talking with my family and loved ones, @crossfitkillshot will be opening soon in Smyrna, DE!”


Javi elaborated on the news in the video itself, adding:


“I am going to go ahead and open my own CrossFit affiliate called CrossFit Killshot,” said an exuberant Javi.



Marroquin goes on to encourage fans to follow the IG page for his new business venture, adding:


“Stay tuned for more updates.”


Sounds pretty straightforward, but to be honest we have a lot of questions:


Is Javi prepared for his insurance to skyrocket after a soccer mom from Dover inevitably takes a kettlebell to the skull?



And what in the hell inspired the douchetastic name Killshot?


Is it inspired by Eminem’s Machine Gun Kelly diss track of the same name?


If so, we’re gonna have to go ahead and encourage all Delaware residents to boycott Javi’s gym on general principle.


But the most important question of all, of course, is — what does Lauren Comeau think of all this?



As you’re probably aware, Javi and Lauren are expecting their first child together, and they recently bought a house.


So even though they’re not officially man and wife, their finances are pretty well intertwined.


Hopefully, Javi consulted Lauren before jumping into this thing.


Sounds like a no-brainer, but all those years of six-digit reality show earnings may have blinded him to the financial concerns of regular folk.

Kylie Jenner: Low-Rated Reality Show Renewed Due to Billionaire Status?

There are perks to being a billionaire that go well beyond having more money than you could ever spend in three lifetimes.


For evidence of this, look no further than Elon Musk, who’s basically transforming into a cartoonish supervillain before our eyes, yet still has millions of fanboys hoping he’ll launch another car into space for fun.


Fortunately, as far as we can tell, Kylie Jenner doesn’t have anything so nefarious as global domination on her agenda.



But that might just be because she hasn’t officially joined the ultra-exclusive Billionaires Club … yet.


As you may have heard Kylie covers the new issue of Forbes, and the magazine reports that at the rate her cosmetics brand is currently growing, the youngest Jenner sister will be worth a cool billion next year at the ripe old age of 21.


That would make her the youngest “self-made” billionaire in history.


(A lot of folks have taken issue with Forbes failure to address the fact that Kylie had a lot of help reaching that milestone, but that’s a conversation for another time.)


Currently, Kylie’s makeup brand is worth about $ 800 billion and she’s raked in about $ 100 million from other ventures.


Needless to say, everything’s coming up Kylie these days, and her astonishing financial interests have revived interest in Kylie’s life and career.



Kylie disappeared from social media while she was pregnant with daughter Stormi but now she’s back and bigger than ever.


And for obvious reasons, everyone wants to be in the Kylie Jenner business nowadays.


You may have forgotten about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians spinoff entitled Life of Kylie that debuted on E! last year.


We say because pretty no one watched the thing.


The ratings for Kylie’s reality show were astonishingly low, and it was widely assumed that the series had been quietly canceled.


But in the wake of Kylie’s astonishing personal and professional success, E! has reportedly decided to give the series a second chance.



“The footage for the second season of Life of Kylie is all pretty much shot. It will follow her life after the birth of her daughter Stormi,” a source tells Radar Online.


“Fans are really interested in seeing Kylie as a mom to Stormi, and they are also really interested in seeing how she made such a massive fortune in such a short period of time.”


Yes, it seems that the public perception of Kylie has changed dramatically in recent weeks, and her reputation has enjoyed a major rebound.


“She is now a role model to so many women out there who think they cannot raise a baby and have a successful career,” says the insider.


The salary from starring and executive producing a second season might help Kylie to reach her new goal:



Apparently, she wants to reach the billion-dollar mark before her 21st birthday next month.


“Cameras will absolutely be filming for her celebration,” the source revealed.


“Right now, Kylie is just determined to hit the billion-dollar mark in one month and she isn’t letting anything stand in her way.”


Fans have jokingly set up GoFundMe pages in order to raise $ 100 million for Kylie, but we’re thinking hitting the mark in the next few weeks is a major long shot.


Even so, we can’t think of a more worthy cause, so you should absolutely go to one of those pages and donate your entire life’s savings to Kylie.

Jana Duggar: Courtship Status Confirmed!

Rumors about the possibility of a Jana Duggar courtship have been circulating for pretty much the entire time her family’s been in the national spotlight.


In fact, in the past month alone, two different men have been linked to Jana.



One of them has since denied reports that he’s romantically linked to the eldest Duggar daughter.


But for a long time, fans remained steadily convinced that the second guy was Jana’s future husband.


His name is Caleb Williams, and he’s a small business owner and longtime friend of Jana’s family.


While Williams is said to be far more liberal than the Duggars, several media outlets claimed that he was able to gradually able to win them over one-by-one.


Photos of Williams spending time with Jim Bob seemed to indicate that Jana’s suitor had infiltrated her family’s upper echelon.



Understandably, many fans arrived at the conclusion that an engagement would be announced sometime in the very near future.


But the last photo of Jim Bob and Caleb appeared on social media several weeks ago, and it doesn’t appear that Jana is sporting any new bling these days.


In fact, she and Caleb haven’t even confirmed that they’re courting.


For some reason, Duggar fans want nothing more than to see Jana in a committed relationship.


And we guess we understand that, considering Jana loves kids and clearly wants a family of her own.


So fair warning if you’re one of the Jana obsessives who’s spent the last eight years rooting for her to find the right man–bad news lies ahead:


According to various reports, Jana is not courting Caleb–or anyone else for that matter.



We know, we know–you’re upset.


But keep in mind that Jana is only 27 and still has plenty of time to get married and have kids.


Besides, things could be much worse.


She could’ve been fired from Counting On, like Derick Dillard!


Currently, it’s looking like fans got their hopes up without reason, and Jana will be living on her family’s compound a bit longer.


But hey Duggar courtships move mighty quickly.


Your girl could still be married and out of the house by Christmas!


Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Farrah Abraham Topless Photo Commemorates Instagram Milestone, Cements Icon Status

Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham just reached a million followers on Instagram, and celebrated the only way she knows how:


By posing topless in bed with a “come hither” gaze.



On Sunday, October 22, the redhead took to Instagram to celebrate eclipsing the seven-figure mark on her Instagram fan total.


For some reason Farrah wants more plastic surgery; Abraham’s insane boobs and facial transformation are rather evident here.


She is wearing pasties – heart-shaped ones, totes adorbs – but very little else is left to the imagination in the hypnotic image.


About the only thing missing here is Abraham’s surgically enhanced butt, which remains covered up. Maybe for her next trick?


“1 million,” she captioned the stunning pic, and while she was still in the 999,000s at the time, Farrah since surpassed a mill.


This should help get her to two million real quick …



This post comes just days after a report surfaced that a second Farrah Abraham cam show will be coming your way just before Halloween.


The 26-year-old reality star’s inaugural live porn event with CamSoda was such a huge hit, she’s running it back and then some.


Farrah’s on-again, off-again boyfriend Simon Saran says she plans to “give 110%” for the show, as if she knows any other way.


Go hard or go home, as the old saying goes.


Asked why Farrah continues to do adult films despite the backlash from fellow MTV stars, Simon replied, “Because she likes it.”


“She does what she wants on her free time.”


Hard to argue with that, though her 1,000,000 fans sure have some strong opinions about what she does in her free and work time.



Wrote one disgusted fan on Insta: “Your daughter will be disgusted by you when she gets older and be embarrassed #shame.”


Wrote another: “Ur child is going to have so many issues with a mom like u. Putting this kind of image over the internet of ur self is horrible.”


“U need to teach her to respect herself and u. If I found stuff like this of my mother online. All respect for her is gone.”


Yet another added, “I agree that picture is disgusting, no mothers kids should see that. I personally wouldn’t want her to be the mother of my kids.”


Harsh.


Others came to her defense, at least in part, saying Farrah knows no other way: “DISGUSTING! she is the way she is BECAUSE of her parents!”


“They allowed her to tell them how everything would be instead of instilling in her that healthy fear that every child should have of their parents!”



Some Farrah followers defended her unabashedly: “Do what make u happy and dont regret thats all… if its real then i take u how u are….100%”


“And i always like how strong u are! dont give up!”


Another supporter of hers added, “I’m not understanding how her not wearing a top correlates with her being a bad mother.”


“You’re telling me as a mom none of you have been topless? women (moms especially) need to stop tearing others down.”


This school of thought was echoed by “Just because it’s not something you would do doesn’t mean she’s a bad parent.”


“I don’t think what she does is good [but] her daughter is well loved and taken care of. That’s what matters. Bye judgemental people.”



Said another Farrah defender, “So I don’t understand why people have to judge her life style and not other people who do this?” 


It’s an interesting point of debate, for sure. Finally, other admirers reacted to an entirely different aspect of the eye-popping pic.


“Would love to get one night with you,” wrote one drooling commenter who may or may not be named Simon Saran.

Demi Lovato: Celebrates Blue Belt Status with No Makeup Selfie!

Demi Lovato has documented a lot of her fitness regimen on Instagram. 


As many DemI Lovato thirst traps and pics of her unstoppable cleavage as she’s shared with followers, Demi devotes a lot of her Instagram to sharing video of her martial arts training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.


Well, Demi just hit a new milestone and she’s celebrating with a makeup-free selfie!



If you want to learn something that’s straight-up self-defense, you probably want to learn something along the lines of Krav Maga.


That’s a fighting style that was literally invented to fight Nazis before the outbreak for World War II.


Others are looking for a fitness regimen and a martial arts discipline that can also equip them to defend themselves.


Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is at least as much a competitive sport as it is a method of self-defense.


Performance in competitions is required to demonstrate your ability and move up in belts.


In terms of self-defense capabilities, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu highlights ways in which a smaller person could overpower a larger and stronger opponent.


Demi Lovato is tiny, so that seems like a great fit for her.


She progressed to a blue belt, the second rank in terms of belt colors, after more than a year of constant training.


(Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is also known for being very reserved about granting promotions — it’s not something to sign up for if you want to get to call yourself a “blackbelt” after a couple of years of weekly classes, folks)


She celebrated with this makeup-free selfie.



She looks great, of course.


But we’re really captivated by how happy she looks.


That sense of accomplishment looks great on her.


She could hardly contain her delight in her lengthy, lengthy caption for the photo.


“I’m so beyond excited because I just received my blue belt in #brazilianjiujitsu!!!!”


Four exclamation points, like an enthusiastic teenager in 2002.


But you know what? She’s earned it.


“I fell in love with #BJJ over a year ago and have been training several times a week ever since..”


“BJJ” stands for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, so please get your mind out of the bedroom, you pervs.


Also, that shows a lot of dedication.


Remember, Demi’s led a music career while also learning to master a martial art.



She gave shout-outs and thanks to the people who helped her reach this milestone.


“Thank you so much to @chilcote.dunn @captainHarlan_ @tarsisbjj for giving me my belt along with one of the most important and special women in my life today.”


“@officialdaniellemartin/@trueboundaries – I love you so much and couldn’t be more grateful for you [four blue heart emojis]”


Awww, she even made sure that the heart emojis fit her belt color.


“Also special shoutout to @jayglazer for flying in to give me my belt as well!!! Love you jay!!!”


Hey, when you accomplish something, everybody wants to be there to support you.



In less than a month, Demi Lovato’s new album comes out.


While we’ve yet to hear a Demi song that beats either “Neon Lights” or “Skyscraper,” which are for sure both her best songs …


(“Neon Lights” even made it onto one of our favorite Vines — remember Vine?)


… There are sure to be some bops on Tell Me You Love Me.


So, while we can’t imagine how she balanced an album and this level of dedication to a martial art, Demi’s going to have a lot more to celebrate in the near future.

Richard Marx Restrains Passenger on Airplane, Shrugs Off "Hero" Status

Back in 1989, Richard Marx rose to fame by singing that he’ll be “right here waiting for you.”


But we had no idea that the artist was portending an event to come, directing this seemingly romantic lyric at an unruly passenger on board a Korean Air flight.


Confused? Allow us to explain…



Over the weekend, Marx and wife Daisy Fuentes were flying from Vietnam to South Korea when a drunk passenger became violent and actually started attacking those around him


His victims included both flight attendants and other passengers.


As detailed on Fuentes’ Instagram account, the singer wasted no time, jumping in diffuse the scary situation, which the staff seemed both too overwhelmed and confused to handle.


“On our flight from Hanoi to Seoul a guy sitting in the next row from us got crazy & started attacking the flight attendants & passengers. When he started pushing the female staff and pulling them by the hair @therichardmarx was the first to help subdue him,” Fuentes wrote as a caption to the following photo.


It actually depicts Marx in action, along with those on board who apparently decided to snap pictures instead of offer any assistance.



As you can see, a flight attendant is pointing a Taser gun at the passenger in one photo, while Marx is holding him down in another.


There’s also an image of Marx holding white rope, presumably to tie up the inebriated man.


Added Fuentes, a former MTV VJ:


“This went on for FOUR hrs. I feel horrible for the abuse the staff had to endure but no one was prepared for this. They never fully got control of him.


“They didn’t know how to use the taser & they didn’t know how to secure the rope around him (he got loose from their rope restraints 3 times).”


Marx later took to Twitter in order to give fans an update, and also to criticize the training of the Korean Air employees on board.


“Daisy and I are home safe and sound,” he wrote, shrugging off his actions and adding:


“No big “hero” move at all. Just did what I would hope anyone would do in same situation. Tnx 4 concern.”


He then elaborated on Facebook, expounding on what happened and saying flight attendants were “ill-equipped” to deal with this kind of situation:






Pretty crazy, huh?


Not what happened on board the airplane. That’s not all that surprising.


People get drunk all the time on flights, it’s just surprising this time it was a celebrity coming to the rescue instead of getting kicked off (see below).


But Richard Marx is married to Daisy Fuentes?!?



We had no idea. Well done, man!


As for those aforementioned drunken and/or unruly airplane passengers? These famous people can relate to the dude Marx had to hold down…
