Taylor McKinney SLAMS Ryan Edwards After Rehab: You"re Not a Father!
Back in June, Ryan Edwards checked into rehab immediately after marrying Mackenzie Standifer in a disastrous ceremony.
It was a positive and necessary move for Ryan to make, but in the months since his release, it seems he"s been forced to confront a painful truth about sobriety–namely, that life doesn"t necessarily get easier after one stops using drugs.
Ryan still struggles with the challenges of being a parent, a step-parent, and a husband.
And based on what we saw on this week"s episode of Teen Mom 2, Taylor McKinney thinks he"s not up to the task …

Kim Kardashian to Stephanie Shepherd: You"re FIRED!
Kim Kardashian has made a tough decision.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians A-lister has parted ways with friend and longtime assistant Stephanie Shepherd – and it was her call.
The 37-year-old Kim decided it was time to cut ties – professionally – with Shepherd, her friend and assistant since 2013, a source confirms.
“Kim made a decision to let Stephanie go,” the insider says, revealing that the parting of ways came after a failed promotion of sorts.
“She was a good assistant but when Stephanie wanted to transition into a larger role with Kim’s brand and businesses, it just didn’t work.”
“Kim gave her a chance but after a short period of time it became clear that Stephanie just didn’t have the knowledge to take on a role like that.”
“Kim made the executive decision to part ways.”
The source adds that while Shepherd is “still friendly with the other sisters,” the firing clearly stung, as currently “Kim aren’t really speaking.”
Shepherd began her position right before North West was born in June 2013. She opened up about the role in an interview earlier this year:
“I was doing her whole schedule, doing her laundry, booking travel, putting the stroller together and all of these things. But I wasn’t nervous.”
“I was just excited, always staying longer than I needed because I was trying to prove myself … and then North came early!”
Obviously, this presented a huge challenge for her, as “I was a brand new assistant who had no idea what to do with a baby.”
“But all moved into Kris’ house, and she was the one who made it all feel okay and moved mountains for us,” Shepherd said.
It all went well for so long … until recently.
If you watch Keeping Up With the Kardashians online, you may recall Kim questioning Shepherd’s relationship with her sister Kourtney.
“Do you find it weird that you’re like ‘wifey’ with my assistant?” Kim said, at which point her older sibling inquired if that bothered her.
“Kind of,” Kim responded, countering, “What if all of a sudden I became BFF with Megan? I think you would definitely be like, ‘That’s weird.’”
Kourtney then told Kim that “we were talking” recently “and she was saying that she didn’t know what she wanted to do in life.”
Steph was grateful for her role as an assistant but “feels, like, maybe she’s in a place in life where she’s unfulfilled, job-wise.”
“I feel like she’s just looking to, like, evolve.”
Kim knew this was true, but it still hurt, as she felt she’d given Stephanie the chance to do new things such as manage the Kimoji app.
Also, “I do think it’s like inappropriate for her to talk to you and not to me,” Kim said. “I mean don’t you think that’s like a little bit unprofessional?”
Stephanie’s take on that friendship?
“Kourtney and I weren’t really close at all when I first started working, I don’t think she really liked me at first to be honest!” she said.
“When we were doing that world tour of Miami and Iceland and all those places, with so much travel time, we bonded.”
“Now we talk all the time and we’ll go to dinner.”
“I’ll spend the night at her house,” she added.
“People always think we’re either lesbians, because we’re always together or holding hands, or even that I am Kourtney.”
“I guess we look alike and have a similar style.”
No word on whether personal jealousy or awkwardness played a role in her getting fired, and we aren’t likely to find out.
We’re guessing there’s an NDA involved.

Kris Jenner to Kylie Jenner: No DIETING While You"re Pregnant!
Unless you’ve spent the past few weeks living under a rock on Pluto (even peeps on Neptune have gotten the news at this point), then you’re aware that Kylie Jenner is pregnant with her first child.
Sure, Kylie is much, much, much better off financially than most young women in her situation, but that doesn’t mean the transition from selfie queen to mom-to-be has been an easy one.
One of the things the 20-year-old is reportedly struggling to come to terms with is the change in her appearance.
In fact, it’s been rumored that the reason Kylie hasn’t officially announced her pregnancy yet is that she’s afraid of how fans will react to her new physique.
Of course, like her sisters, Kylie sticks to a strict diet and exercise regimen to maintain her famous figure.
And apparently, she’s having a hard time letting go of her low-everything diet and daily workouts.
According to Radar Online, Kris Jenner has been forced to step in to ensure that Kylie doesn’t forget that she’s eating for two these days.
The momager has reportedly gone to great lengths to keep Kylie from going too hard in her efforts to stay trim.
“Kris has hired a chef, nutritionist and pregnancy coach for Kylie,” a source close to the family tells Radar.
“She wants her daughter’s meals prepared and to make sure that Kylie gets the proper nutrition, as well as ample sleep and exercise as permitted.”
Apparently, a big part of the problem is that Kylie’s so focused on what will happen after the delivery that she’s not always cognizant of the fact that her baby’s health needs to be her top priority:
“Kylie was just so obsessed with making sure she snaps back to her old figure as soon as she delivers the baby,” sais the insider.
“She is emotionally raw right now and has been crying about getting pudgy,”
We’re sure this report will result in a lot of mom-shaming being directed at Kylie, but it’s important to keep a few things in mind:
1. Kylie is barely out of her teens, 2. She’s been raised in a family and culture that values physical appearance almost above all else, and 3. The knowledge that she’ll be working to get her pre-pregnancy body back in the public eye must be extremely daunting.
Fortunately, it sounds like she’s got a solid support network around her.
Kris’ overbearing, type-A personality is good for more than just marketing sex tapes.

Kim Zolciak: Psst, Haters… You"re Worthless!
Attention, haters, trolls and critics of Kim Zolciak:
This veteran reality star has a message she would like to send.
Are you listening?
Okay, here goes:
You suck. Your’re worthless. And nothing you say resonates in any way, shape or form with me.
We’re not really exaggerating. This was the basic theme of an interview Zolciak gave to TooFab in anticipation of Don’t Be Tardy returning to Bravo on Friday night.
To be clear, the discussion took place before NeNe Leakes absolutely WENT OFF on Kim and her daughter, Brielle, late last week, claiming their entire family was racist because Brielle said Leakes had roaches at home.
So Zolciak does not reply directly to that attack in this article.
But it almost doesn’t matter.
Because her opinion in general on all who criticize her or her child likely applies to NeNe as well.
“You’re behind a f-cking computer screen… you feel like you have a voice, but your opinion to me doesn’t f-cking matter when it’s negative,” Zolciak told TooFab, adding simply:
“It’s gross.”
Zolicak herself often hears it from critics who attack her appearance or the way she seemingly exploits family tragedies.
However, it’s actually Brielle who gets it even worse, as Internet users are aghast over the 20-year old’s plastic surgery history and influx of lewd Instagram photos.
Why do strangers care about the actions of this young woman, whom they’ve never met and who no impact on their lives?
“Because they’re f-cking miserable,” Zolciak says of the trolls.
Kim has encouraged Brielle in the past to get various kinds of work done on her body.
But “the plastic surgery stuff is old,” Zolciak explains TooFab.
She can’t believe people are still talking about that.
“Brielle’s done her lips and Brielle’s done nothing else. They accuse her of her dimples being fake. I mean, I posted pictures of the child when she came out of the womb with these big dimples in her cheeks.
“The plastic surgery comments that she got work done to look like me or the plastic surgery comments I get to look like her is like, ‘Are you OK? She’s my f-cking daughter.”
With Don’t Be Tardy back on the air and The Real Housewives of Atlanta premiering next month, you can expect to hear from Zolciak often over the next several weeks.
Haters might as well save their breath because their insults just bounce off her fake boobs.
As for everyone else? Zolciak has three rules in life;
“Don’t mess with my man, my money or my kids.”

Kardashians to Scott Disick: You"re Out of the Family!
It’s a scene that’s sure to ring a bell with fans of gangster movies.
The mob boss, fed up with the performance of a troublesome underling summons the low-ranking hood to his office for a dressing down that could end in a lifetime of exile or a nap with the fishes.
Now replace Paul Sorvino and Ray Liotta with Kris Jenner and Scott Disick, and you’ll have the perfect mental image for the episode we’re about to describe.
By now you’ve likely heard that Scott Disick has hit rock bottom about fourteen times in the past few weeks.
For months, Disick has been drinking non-stop and hooking up with a succession of inappropriately young starlets.
Last week, his reckless lifestyle landed him in the hospital.
Shortly thereafter, the world learned that Disick is dating Sofia Richie.
He’s a 34-year-old father of three, and she’s the 19-year-old daughter of Lionel, so needless to say, the news hasn’t been well received.
In fact, it seems that for Kris Jenner it was the nail in the coffin.
The world’s most famous momager has been tolerant of some pretty horrendous behavior from the men in her daughters’ lives.
Perhaps it’s because she’s acutely aware of the toll that becoming so famous so fast can have on a person, or maybe she’s just a more compassionate person than she seems on TV.
Whatever the case, Scott Disick has finally gone too far.
And now … Kris has to turn her back on him.
The Kardashians are a business as well as a family, and though Scott will be permitted to continue seeing his kids (for now) he won’t be allowed to be a part of Kris and company’s lucrative media empire any longer.
Sources tell Radar Online that after months of bad behavior, Scott has been “gently let go.”
“Kris told him that they’ll see through the existing commitments — including his fulfillment to film various appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians — then that’s it, he’s done,” says one insider.
“Scott knew this day was coming once Kourtney officially moved on and got serious,” the informant adds.
Hey, you had to know this was coming, Scotty.
Look on the bright side, you had a better run than anyone expected.
Now, go home and get your f–king shine box.
(RIP, Frank Vincent)
