Farrah Abraham: For Just $10, You Can Touch Me!

With a friend claiming that Farrah Abraham is a hooker, perhaps now isn’t the best time for her to be effectively selling her body — but that’s just what the former Teen Mom star was doing. Sort of.

Over the weekend, Farrah was selling hugs, handshakes, and the opportunity to “chit chat” with her to anyone willing to meet her price.

Just wait until you see her price list.

San Diego Comic Con was just a few weeks ago, and it was full of dazzling trailers and even some surprise announcements that brought tears of joy to fans across the globe.

Bell County Comic Con took place on August 4 and 5 at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas.

And, for whatever reason, Farrah Abraham was there, as the eagle-eyed folks at The Ashley noticed.

We know that comic con events can feature a diverse array of guests, from artists to actors to writers to directors.

But Teen Mom stars — sorry, former Teen Mom stars — are a little different from what you’d expect in a convention hall full of fans and cosplayers.

But that’s not all. Farrah was there to make money.

If someone did wander over to Farrah — perhaps to comment that she still looks as great as she did in Aliens when she faced off against Sigourney Weaver — Farrah would charge them ten whole dollars to shake her hand.

Teen Mom fans all know where Farrah’s hands have been.

Speaking of which, you could also purchase a hug from Farrah for $ 10.

If you wanted to avoid physical contact with Farrah while still listening to her speak, you could “chit chat” with her for $ 5.

We’re envisioning a sign that reads “$ 5 Word Salads” but we imagine that Farrah would not advertise that way.

For $ 40, she would write her actual name for her.

Alternatively, you could spend those $ 40 on a photo of Farrah. Not a signed photo, mind you — just a photo op.

(That part, at least, is sort of normal)

If you wanted Farrah to go so far as to sign her name on a photo of herself, therefore completing the prophecy and ushering in the end times, that would cost you $ 70.

For $ 80, Farrah would star in a personalized video that you could use to impress all of your friends by showing off how poorly you use your money.

But it’s not uncommon for stars to make money at convention appearances, right? So … is this unusual?

In a word: yes.

“We go to several cons a year,” one bewildered con attendee wrote on Twitter. “And I have never seen anyone charge for a hug, handshake, or to freaking chit chat!”

“And I’ve met people from Ron Perlman to Norman Reedus to Chazz Palminteri!” that person continued. “Farrah Abraham is gross and desperate!”

Gross and desperate more or less summarizes her brand.

“Selling hugs … desperate much!?” wrote another person. “Who does that?!”

Farrah does — with a little help from daddy dearest Michael Abraham, who was also at the booth, selling physical and verbal contact with his daughter.

There is nothing wrong with celebrities charging fans money to get a photo together. Some fans even use those photos to propose — it’s adorable.

There is also nothing wrong with sex work. Your body is your body, and, morally speaking, you have every right to be compensated for what you do with it.

But many people take issue with what Farrah has been doing. Selling autographs is not the same thing as selling “chit chat” and gives the impression that she despises any and all contact with her fans.

True or not, her fans — and she really does have them — are the only way that she stays in business. Well, the only way that her remaining businesses stay open — her frozen yogurt store shut down.

Treasury Secretary"s Wife Louise Linton Accepts Backlash for "Out of Touch" Instagram Post

Louise Linton Apologizes For Being Awful, Remains Adorably Out of Touch

If you’re like most Americans, you never heard the name Louise Linton before yesterday.

Just 48 hours ago the Scottish actress’ claims to fame were appearing in the 2012 remake of the horror film Cabin Fever and marrying US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin both revolting undertakings that no doubt tested the limits of Ms. Linton’s gag reflex.

Now, however, Louise has finally found the fame she’s spent her adult life in search of.

Unfortunately, it’s left her frantically switching her social media accounts to “private” like Marie Antoinette boarding up the windows at Versailles.

In case you missed Louise’s “let them eat cake” moment, here’s what happened:

Linton and her husband … recently traveled to Kentucky in a private jet in order to discuss tax reform with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

What former former Charlie Sheen co-starrer Louise brought to the table is anyone’s guess, but hey, this is the administration in which former handbag designers are shaping foreign policy, so anything goes.

Anyway, Woman of the People Louise posted a photo of herself arriving in Kentucky (a state in which 1 in 5 people live below the poverty line) that rubbed some folks the the wrong way.

The pic showed Linton stepping off a government plane looking like she’d been outfitted for a different kind of runway.

To ensure none of the poors got the wrong impression that she’s flying around in Target pajama pants and a neck pillow from Hudson News, Linton tagged the many high-end designers responsible for her outfit.

The hashtag “#HermesScarf” went viral shortly thereafter, but not because Twitter was so impressed by Louise’s fashion sense.

To drive home the point that she’s some sort of cartoon bad guy rich person, a la Monty Burns or Cruella De Ville, Linton attacked an Oregon mother of three who dared to suggest that her post was in poor taste.

“Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country?” Linton wrote, in an emoji-laden screed.

“I’m pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day ‘trip’ than you did. Pretty sure the amount we sacrifice per year is a lot more than you’d be willing to sacrifice if the choice was yours.”

She went on to slam Miller for being “adorably out of touch,” before sarcastically quipping, “Your kids look very cute. Your life looks cute.”

After what we imagine was a hilariously WTF?! reaction from her husband (who, as the producer of the Entourage movie, is a man who knows good taste), Louise issues a half-assed apology … through her publicist:

“I apologize for my post on social media yesterday as well as my response. It was inappropriate and highly insensitive,” read a statement issued by Linton’s handlers.

As you can see, the apology is boring, boilerplate, and almost certainly not penned by Louise hereself.

Really, the only reason we’re reporting on it at all is so that we can bring you the exciting news that Louise literally played Marie Antoinette in an episode of CSI: NY!

Louise Linton on CSI: NY

But that wasn’t her only gloriously apt film role.

Louise also had a few lines on the now-defunct of Cold Case.

She played a woman named Louise in an episode titled WASP!

You can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Well, you can … but who would want to?

Oh, do yourself a favor and google Louise’s memoir – a harrowing account of her post-boarding school gap year living amongst black people.

It’s the “feel awful about the world we live” in book of the year!

Mac Miller"s Ariana Grande Birthday Message Will Touch Your Heart

Ariana Grande is pure goodness and delight and talent, all contained in one very tiny body. She deserves birthday wishes.

After the trauma of the Manchester bombing, Ariana deserves all of the birthday wishes.

Well, she turned 24 yesterday, and she got a very sweet and public birthday tribute message from one of the people closest to her — boyfriend Mac Miller.

I may have the romantic soul of a Disney villain, but Mac Miller’s affectionate birthday message to Ariana Grande touches even my heart.

“Happy Birthday to this adorable pure soul who has reminded me what being happy feels like.”

That is so sweet.

And we have to agree with his characterization of her.

(Though the fact that he’d forgotten what happiness felt like before he met her is kind of a downer!)

“Thank you for loving me so good. I think it’s supposed to be ‘so well’ but I don’t care.”

He’s right, in that it absolutely should be “so well,” but language can adjust (within limits) for colloquial speaking, especially over social media.

(Up to a point)

And here was the accompanying photo:

It’s worth noting that “loving me so good” has different connotations than “loving me so well.”

That is to say that it sounds like he’s complimenting her sexual prowess rather than thanking her for her emotional affection.

But, while that would make sense, he might not be conscious of it.

And let’s not speculate on their sex life, even though Ariana’s lyrics would make for some great 

“I love you and can’t wait for all of the adventures.”

That sounds like an incomplete thought, right?

Like, “can’t wait for all of the adventures” is sweet, but vague.

Maybe he’s not trying to use a birthday message to publicly convey his plans for the future.

They’re not married, so “can’t wait for all of our adventures for the rest of our lives” would be too much.

But it’s important to note that, as we’ve already discussed, Ariana Grande and Mac Miller might actually get married.

Apparently as a gesture — but not a proposal — Mac Miller bought a diamond ring for Ariana.

And she, in turn, is choosing to wear it on her engagement finger.

So, you know … that sounds pretty commitment-y to us.

It’s possible that Mac is hinting at their plans for the future, but we’re going to have to try to not read too much into it.

Their relationship has already been part of Ariana’s post-Manchester healing process — relationships can help with recovery.

Though Ariana’s been quick to thank her fans for helping her process things.

We don’t know the real ins and outs of Ariana and Mac’s relationship, because no one does except for these two love-birds.

This is just a very sweet message that she decided to make public.

Just like we don’t know why Mac Miller dresses like a London chav (he’s from Pennsylvania).

We just know that Ariana loves Mac Miller (despite his dumb hats) and we’re happy for them.

Ben Seewald Slams Duggars: White Christians Are So Out of Touch!

In many ways, Ben Seewald is the ideal Duggar son-in-law.

He’s completely reliant on the family for his financial well-being; he can recite the Bible backward and forward; and his reverence for Lord Jim Bob seems to be complete and unwavering.

But there’s a rebellious streak in Ben that his in-laws are probably less than thrilled with.

If you watch Counting On online, you know “rebellious” isn’t exactly the first word that comes to mind when you think of Ben.

Still, unlike so many denizens of Duggar world, the dude definitely has a mind of his own.

Last month, we learned that Seewald supports Colin Kaepernick and his controversial protests against police violence targeted at African-Americans.

Shortly thereafter, the 21-year-old revealed that he will continue to support Black Lives Matter and use his platform to bring attention it.

The problems afflicting the nation’s most troubled communities has gained national attention of late, and clearly strikes a chord with Ben.

That may not seem like a particularly scandalous agenda, but you have to bear in mind that the Duggars and their fans are an extremely conservative lot …

Seewald has been harshly criticized for his views on social media, but he clearly has no intention of backing down.

His most recent Instagram post is a photo of a block of text that seems to sum up his position.

It reads:

“Its so appalling how out of touch many white believers are with their black brothers and sisters in the faith (and Hispanic and others as well).”

“It makes me want to weep.”

“I see so much quick judgment and so little empathy. The flesh points a finger – but Jesus would have us seek unity and walk a mile in each other’s shoes.”

“Love demands this. Christ demands this.

“We must repent … but the sad thing is that so many are so preoccupied that they don’t even see it as an issue.”

Not surprisingly, many of the comments were critical, with users admonishing Ben to “get educated” and using the #PoliceLivesMatter hashtag.

Some, however, were vocal in their support of Seewald.

“Thanks Ben Seewald,” wrote one commenter.

“I’m a 47 year old black mom of 2. You’re one of the main reasons I watch. Your authenticity is refreshing.”

Thus far, Ben has yet to express his views on Counting On.
