Michael Weatherly Exits NCIS: How Did Tony Say Goodbye?

Special Agent Tony DiNozzo has left the building.

Going into NCIS Season 13 Episode 24, fans of television’s highest-rated series know that Michael Weatherly would be saying goodbye.

They just had no idea how Tony would be written out.

No way he’d be killed off, right?

Right. But that doesn’t mean death didn’t play a key role on the NCIS Season 13 finale.

The major event that led to Tony’s departure was the discovery that Ziva was killed in a bombing at her farmhouse in Israel.

“Life rarely ends the way we imagine,” Ducky said as the rest of the NCIS team mourned their former colleague back at the office.

From there, though, Tony was in for another surprise: Ziva had a daughter named Tali, who was hand-delivered to the U.S. by Israel officials. Because Tony is her father.

With advice from his father in hand (Robert Wagner reprised the role and told his son to take some time for an emotional breather), Tony told Gibbs that he had to resign his post.

“I’m everything to that little girl now,” DiNozzo his boss. “And I’ve never been anybody’s everything before.”

This led to a number of emotional goodbyes with his colleagues, from McGree to Bishop to Abby, the latter of whom told Tony:

“I know how much Ziva really loved you. I know. She told me.”

Then there was the big farewell. It took place in Gibbs’ basement.

“That’s it,” Tony said. “I’m done now.”

To which Gibbs replied: “You gotta do whatcha gotta do.”

A rare hug followed… and it just happened to get very dusty in our living room around this same time. 

What did you think of Tony’s goodbye? What it everything you could have hoped for? Can you believe Ziva is dead?!?

Go ahead and watch NCIS online via the above video if you need to catch up and then sound off. What an emotional hour of television!

Leah Messer Hits Back Hard at Parenting Critics: Shut Up You A--holes!!

Teen Mom 2 star Leah Messer is accused of bad parenting almost daily this season, and she’s taken to Twitter to defend herself once more.

Last month, a report alleged Messer’s six-year-old daughter with Corey Simms suffered a “nasty fall” while left unattended at a playground.

Ali, who fans who watch Teen Mom 2 online know suffers from a rare form of muscular dystrophy, fell on her back and head while swinging.

“I know kids fall, but [Leah Messer] definitely wasn’t watching them at the park,” one viewer wrote on social media, as another added:

“Ali fell so hard. [Leah Messer] didn’t even check her head. She could of (sic) gotten a concussion. All she did was wipe off her back.”

Messer was also accused of failing to watch her youngest daughter with Jeremy Calvert, 3-year-old Adalynn, who was also at the park.

Then this week, proving she cannot catch a break, Messer’s critics hammered her for letting one of her daughters eat frosting straight.

Not the worst parenting crime ever committed, but when your track record includes passing out in a drugged-up haze while holding a baby …

Basically, she’s put through the wringer no matter what she does, and she’s not happy about it, firing back on Twitter with this comment:

“Wow … there was definitely someone there! #A**Holes.”

Leah was referring to myriad claims that she was abandoning her kid(s) at the playground and letting them roam dangerously unsupervised.

She’s played the blame-it-on-editing-or-tabloid-gossip card many times before, and there likely are exaggerations or lies written about her.

Still, fans remain concerned for various valid reasons.

In a second tweet, she added, “You know you’re well grounded and healthier than ever when you can stay focused and keep moving forward!”

This is true, as a general statement … but is she?

Her co-parenting relationship with Corey could be jeopardized again by a disturbing video of Leah, though she has shown signs of progress.

Messer and Corey have been fighting over custody of their twin girls for two years amid allegations of Messer’s potential drug habit.

Things have progressed lately with Leah regaining joint custody, but the near-constant stream of bad parenting accusations can’t help.

She’s also back together with T.R. Dues, which isn’t necessarily a sign of stability – at this point in her life, is a live-in beau what she needs?

Holly Madison to Kendra Wilkinson: You Don"t Even KNOW ME

This feud between Holly Madison and Kendra Wilkinson will seriously never end. Not that we’re complaining, it’s just a little surprising.

With the release of Holly’s second book, The Vegas Diaries, Kendra’s NSFW quotes / takedowns of her enemy have made headlines.

In defense of Hugh Hefner and Playboy, Kendra called Holly Hef’s clean-up girl and said Madison is the freakiest freak in the bedroom.

Those are among Kendra’s tamer reactions to her rival.

Following Wilkinson’s apology, which could best be described as tepid, Madison is speaking out directly about her former co-star’s criticism.

Suffice it to say, she’s taking the high road (or trying):

“I didn’t really get emotional about it. Obviously, I can go on Twitter and say just as vulgar things about her, but what is that gonna do for me?”

“Nothing. I wasn’t talking about her. She was reacting to a headline, which was a headline I wasn’t thrilled about.”

“When people pull a word that I don’t necessarily wanna be associated with and put that in a headline, I get it, it sells magazines.”

“But I’m not necessarily thrilled about it either,” Holly insists.

“We live in a click-bait world, and it’s these crazy headlines.”

“But, she still works in that world, she has a different viewpoint on things. I was there a long time before she was, so I saw a lot of things she never saw, too.”

“If she wanted to react to the book once, that’s fine.”

“But it’s a year later, I’m not even talking about it.”

Of course, she is talking about it, and continued to talk about it, further reacting to the grotesque nature of some of Kendra’s remarks:

“It’s gross, but I’m used to it.”

“Even when I was 11 years old and I moved to Oregon from Alaska, I was taller than the other girls and I was really shy, so that meant I was a slut.”

“I’d never even kissed a boy, but that meant I was a slut and I was trying to steal everybody’s boyfriends.”

“I feel like I’ve been dealing with that slut-shaming and internet trolls for so long. And when it’s coming from her, I have my suspicions.”

“[I know[ where it’s coming from and it’s so hypocritical.”

“I feel like I really don’t want to lower myself and go there and respond in any way other than, ‘I wish you the best. Bye."”

Madison believes Kendra is so defensive because one of her reality show producers is really close with Hugh, so it’s in her best interest to be.

Either way, Holly says that these days, looking back, she doesn’t care about Hef, but not “in a callous way, I just don’t care.”

“But even after I left the mansion, I realized that the person I’d cared about was so much an invention in my head. I don’t know this person.”

“I know how he treated me and how he treated the other women when I was there. But I don’t know this person in some ways.”

“And I just feel like I’ve moved on and he’s moved on so I just can’t even imagine having to say anything.”

Well, until the next time Kendra runs her mouth.

Courtney Stodden Dissed By Mom Krista Keller: Her Pregnancy May Be FAKE!

Courtney Stodden’s pregnancy might be just a huge hoax, according to one of the buxom 21-year-old model’s vocal chorus of critics:

Her mom Krista Keller!

News that Doug Hutchison got Courtney Stodden pregnant first surfaced last week – before Court herself was ready to reveal it, she says.

Reluctantly, she confirmed the pregnancy days later … saying she’s only four weeks along and didn’t plan on going public with the news.

How did it leak in the first place then? Who knows how these things happen in the life of Courtney Stodden, but her mother is skeptical.

Krista Keller, something of a poor woman’s Kris Jenner Momager, tells Radar that she has serious doubts that the news is even true.

Not that she would know. Courtney accused Krista of trying to bone Doug, Keller has been shut out of Stodden’s life in recent months.

As such, she was blindsided by the baby news.

“This is all I can say for now: If it wasn’t for media I would not get to know the news about my daughter’s pregnancy,” Keller told Radar.

Keller said she has not even tried to contact her daughter since the news hit the Internet, because she isn’t even sure “if this is accurate.”

One has to admit: Krista’s theory not the craziest thing ever.

If you could name one celebrity who would be shameless enough to fake a pregnancy for attention … that would probably be Tila Tequila.

Courtney Stodden would be a close second though!

Krista and Courtney infamously failed to solve their problems on Lifetime’s The Mother/Daughter Experiment: Celebrity Edition reality show.

Their relationship hasn’t improved much since.

“If she is happy, I am happy for her,” Keller said. “It would be nice to experience this with her, but as it stands, she and I are still not speaking.”

“I did not even hear from her on Mother’s Day. I was blessed to be able to celebrate it with my other two daughters, Ashley, 32, and Brittany, 30.”

Keller urged that despite her fractured relationship, and possible fake grandchild, “Courtney is still missing from our family,” she said.

“We pray for her every day.”

So do we. So. Do. We.
