Watch The Bachelorette Online: Check Out Season 12 Episode 3

On the latest installment of The Bachelorette, JoJo Fletcher and the suits were off on a fun-filled day at the pool.


However, nearly everyone grew distracted by drama involved one of the men in particular.



After the rose ceremony, meanwhile, the 14 hunks who remained traveled to the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania … where a suitor received a one-on-one date in the woods.


Later on during the episode, 11 bachelors visited Pittsburgh’s Heinz Field and played football with Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward and Brett Keisel.


Pretty cool, huh?


Finally, as you’ll see when you watch The Bachelorette online via the video posted here, two guys went on a dreaded two-on-one date, but only one earned a rose.


Wilmer Valderrama and Demi Lovato: What the Heck Happened?!?

They seemed so happy. They seemed so in love.


They seemed destined to get married and have lots of kids and grow old together and holds hands on their rocking chairs while talking about their grandkids many decades from now.



But looks can be deceiving, we sadly suppose.


A few days ago, the world was stunned to learn that Wilmer Valderrama and Demi Lovato have broken up, with the former couple taking the unusual step of releasing a joint statement to announce the news.


They had been a romantic item for six years.


“This was an incredibly difficult decision for both of us, but we have realized more than anything that we are better as best friends,” wrote the stars, adding:


“We will always be supportive of one another. Thank you to everyone who has offered us kindness and support over the years.”


So… what happened between Lovato and Valderrama?


How did they go from potential spouses to mere friends, seemingly in the blink of an eye?


“[The relationship] had turned into more of a big brother-little sister kind of [thing],” an insider tells E! News.


It’s worth noting here that Valderrama is 36 and Lovato 23.


“The romance wasn’t what it used to be,” the source continued.


“That said, Wilmer is still very protective of her. He did a lot for her – not just in terms of being there for her when she had her health issues, but really helping build her brand and launch her product lines.


“You never saw him out in front, though. He never tried to ride her fame.”


It’s true. Lovato would very often thank her then-boyfriend for the positive influence he has had on her life.


But Valderamma never took any kind of credit himself.



While most exes always say they will remain friends, it really does seem as if that will be the case this time around.


“He was very close to her family. I don’t expect that will change. There was a lot of love there,” E! writes.


As happy as Demi and Wilmer seemed together, it does say something that they never got engaged.


Clearly, at least one half of the couple sensed something was off.


“They love each other but aren’t in love anymore,” a second source concludes. “They are really great friends, which they’ll continue to be, but the romance sort of died.”

Teen Mom 2 Season 7 Episode 12 Recap: The End of the Line

Monday’s Teen Mom 2 Season 7 Episode 12, the season finale, featured tensions, meltdowns and drama galore for the fab four.



When you sit and watch Teen Mom 2 online this week, you’ll see the culmination – or the beginning – of so many familiar storylines.


For Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin, things undeniably went bad to worse to worse yet during Teen Mom 2 Season 7 Episode 12.


Surprisingly, the fact that Kailyn doesn’t want any more kids played a role in why the couple finally agreed they should pursue a divorce.


“Javi and I have not been good for two freakin’ years, why on God’s green earth would I bring another child into that?” Lowry told a friend.


A fair point, but this was a big deal for her husband, who wasn’t happy.


“He says if I’m not gonna have any more kids, he can’t stay with me,” Kailyn added, and later, they discussed their split via FaceTime.


(The distance factor certainly didn’t do either of them any favors here.)


“I guess there is no future,” Javi said from overseas, where he is deployed, when Kailyn confirmed that more were out of the question.


“I’m always gonna resent you, I’m always be mad at you deep down.”


“Once we decide to get a divorce [here or at home] … my dad can move my s–t, and when I get home I don’t have to go to that house.”


Javi even asked Kailyn to get the ball rolling on the divorce papers.



Pretty crazy and so sad. As for whether Kailyn Lowry is dating a woman or has a whole history with women, that remains to be seen.


Speaking of moving on, Jeremy Calvert introduced Leah Messer to his new girlfriend, Brooke Wehr, and it went … surprisingly well.


“If they’re serious then I’m happy for him,” she said. “I don’t want to disrespect her the way I disrespected [Corey Simms’ wife] Miranda.”


Easier said than done, of course.


Before long, Leah was absolutely rips–t at Jeremy when she learned he ditched their daughter Addie to pick up Brooke’s kid instead.


“He needs to stop worrying about someone else’s child and worry about his own … I’m not gonna allow Jeremy to hurt Addie,” Messer said.


“I’m not gonna allow it.”


Stay tuned there, but things are going Leah’s way in some respects. It’s been a year since rehab, which she celebrated with a barbecue.


“There was a time I thought, s–t, I’m giving up,” Messer said, but look how far she’s come since then. You gotta give her many props.



As for Jenelle Evans, she told her son Jace all about the ongoing custody battle with her mom, Barbara Evans, explaining her past:


“When you were a baby, the judge told me and Meme, since I didn’t have a house for me and you to live in, that you had to stay with Meme.”


“So, now I have to take Meme back to court to ask the judge if I can have you back,” Jenelle said, and the little guy seemed receptive.


At least until he saw an epic fight in which Babs threw major shade at Jenelle Evans’ boyfriend and said she is “brainwashing” Jace.


FWIW, said boyfriend, David Eason, was captured by MTV cameras telling Jace, “You’re 6 years old. Do not scream like a little girl.”


Chelsea Houska knows a thing or two about bad boys, and when it comes to Adam Lind, she scored a victory regarding child support.


Which he ranted about online.


“He’s been making posts on social media like, ‘I guess she needs this money, blah, blah, blah,’ as in I need his money,” she vented.


“No,” clarified The Housk, “first of all child support is not for me. And you haven’t had any responsibility for the last six years.”


Damn straight.


Chelsea called Adam “delusional” and a “narcissist,” but at least when fiance Cole DeBoer’s wedding ring came in the mail, it was awesome.


Basically these two are over the moon and Chelsea said it best: “You’re gonna put a baby in me … we’re gonna make little Colies!” 


CNN Reporter Reads Full Statement by Stanford Rape Victim

CNN takes a lot of abuse for the way it handles its job as a news organization.


That"s what happens when you use holograms to conduct interviews and rely on Twitter as a source of information.


But anchor Ashleigh Banfield made headlines for all the right reasons on Monday night for the way in which she used her cable news platform.



In a touching stand against silencing rape victims, Banfield dedicated over 20 minutes of airtime to reading nearly the full statement from the victim of a 2015 sexual assault at Stanford University.


The case has gone viral because Brock Turner, whose mug shot is featured above, was convicted of sexual assault last week.


However, he only received a sentencing of six months in county prison, despite the judge having the option to sentence him to a maximum of 14 years behind state bars for his crime.


In response, the 23-year old victim in the case read an emotional letter out loud in court, addressing her assailant in it and outlining the ways in which his act has affected her life.


Banfield spent the first half of her program, “Legal View,” reading the victim’s 7,000-plus-word statement, only leaving out parts deemed too graphic for television.


“You don’t know me, but you’ve been inside me, and that’s why we’re here today,” Banfield read to open the message, walking listeners through the victim’s difficult experience,


The incident took place January 2015 after the victim attended a party with her sister and then woke up covered in dried blood, pine needles and bandages.


She later discovered that Turner had sexually assaulted her behind a dumpster while she was unconscious.


Banfield has received an outpouring of praise for this act.


Take the time to listen to the letter below:
