Teen Mom 2: Cancelled Due to Ratings Decline?

Teen Mom 2 forums and fans are on pins and needles thanks to rumors of the show’s MTV potential cancelation due to low ratings.

Do they have any reason to worry, however?

In terms of pure numbers, the first couple of seasons of Teen Mom 2 were bringing in over 3-4 million viewers per week. Pretty incredible.

Compare that to this season, which brought in between 1.5-1.75 millions per week, and there’s no doubt that the glory years are over.

Right? Not necessarily when you break it all down.

Like the TV landscape in general, there are fewer “live” viewers and more people tuning in to watch Teen Mom 2 online later in the week.

Whether it’s via DVR, on demand, streaming or re-airings, many more fans watched than the 1.636 million viewers that tuned in live.

In all, approximately 3.163 million viewers checked out the Teen Mom 2 season finale, a remarkable sum in a saturated cable market.

Moreover, the ratings look even better if you focus in on the 18-49 demographic, in which the show scored a highly impressive 1.9 rating.

By that metric, Teen Mom 2 was the third highest rated original cable show, behind Game of Thrones and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.

Not to mention the revenue and exposure MTV generates from the viral nature of the show – all of which it uses to bolster its brand.

Especially in an era when creating original programming is as hard as ever, this is like lightning in a bottle – years later – for the network.

In shot, you can bank on Teen Mom 2 Season 8.

Same time, same place next year … they’ll be back and crazier than ever. Mark our words. This show is not getting canceled anytime soon.

Cast members Leah Messer, Jenelle Evans, Kailyn Lowry and Chelsea Houska are now bona fide stars both individually and collectively.

Look for them to be back, and paid well for it.

As for talk of significant others Jeremy Calvert, Corey Simms and/or Adam Lind leaving the show … we’ll believe it when we see it.

Sure, they get understandably pissed at their dirty laundry airing on reality television, and some of it may be edited for dramatic purposes.

But money talks. Baby daddies don’t walk.

Christie Brinkley Defends Hosing Peeing Woman: Stay Away From My Rocks!

Christie Brinkley is not a fan of people urinating in public. 

That much was discovered when 36-year-old Sag Harbor hairdresser Erica Remkus decided to relieve herself on the rocks right outside Brinkley’s home. 

Remkus recalled that the former supermodel was very rude about the whole experience and shouted at her. 

“What are you doing?” Brinkley yelled at the woman. 

“You can’t pee in front of my house! You have to go away. You’re standing on my rocks. You can’t pee on my rocks. I walk there!”

Brinkley was totally wrong because the rocks were not hers and the police confirmed that the part of the beach that was actually urinated on is public property. 

That said, how would you feel if you caught someone urinating right in front of your house?

That wouldn’t go down well with anyone. Right?!

Erica was not about to give up without a fight and fired back some facts at Christie. 

“These are not your rocks… This is not your beach. The beach is public property. You don’t own it.”

Erica claims that she hadn’t even begun to urinate when she was soaked with Christie’s hose. 

“I would not have peed if she didn’t spray me,” the woman insisted.

“After that, I kind of had to.”

Christie didn’t hold back in an Instagram post about the whole situation. 

“I know it’s Independence Day but that does not mean ‘free to pee’ in front of my guests and me at my fireworks gathering,” she complained.

“Maybe the trespasser should celebrate ‘Depends Day’ as she apparently thinks she lives in ‘The Land of the Pee,’ as I was forced to hose down her mess after she urinated in my yard all the while throwing things at me,” Brinkley claimed.

“My wish for everyone on this Fourth of July is…May you live in the Land of the Free from belligerent drunken stalkers with weak bladders and foul mouths. That’s not too much to ask right?”

Kylie Jenner Cosmetics: A Total and Complete Failure!

Kylie Jenner is good at many things.

Take posing for selfies while wearing very little clothing, for example.

Hmmm…. okay. We take it back.

Kylie Jenner is basically good at one thing.

But we now know something at which the Keeping Up with the Kardashians actress is decidedly bad at: running a company.

Kylie Cosmetics, the company behind the ridiculous Kylie Jenner Lip Kit, is not doing very well at the moment.

According to the Better Business Bureau, consumer satisfaction when it comes to the organization is at an all-time low.

The company has racked up 137 customer complaints on that website in the nine months since it opened for business.

Back in December, for example, many patrons claimed they ordered the Lip Kit… and then never actually received the Lip Kit.

In April, meanwhile, there was a security breach at Kylie Cosmetics.

The company’s official website inadvertently exposed personal information of customers to other customers for a short bit.

In response to these problems and complaints, the Better Business Bureau confronted the company last month, hoping to promote a turnaround.

However, in the last week alone, 10 people have taken issue with service or delivery.

For instance, one customer’s kit arrived without the pencil.

We’d tell Kylie to stop taking selfies and to focus on her actual business, but that would imply she has any actual control or say at her business.

And anyone who believes Kylie Jenner has anything to do with Kylie Cosmetics in any operational sense probably believes that Kris Jenner didn’t help leak the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

Then again, should some blame also be placed on the shoulders of the consumers here?

Who buys anything because Kylie Jenner says so?!?

Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston: True Love or Brilliant Publicity Stunt?

She has an incredibly loyal following, but even some Taylor Swift’s fans smell a rat when it comes to her relationship with The Night Manager‘s Tom Hiddleston.

The two reportedly started dating a mere two weeks after Swift broke up with DJ Calvin Harris.  

Prior to that, a video surfaced of Swift and Hiddleston dancing together at the Costume Institute Gala back in May.

The pairing would have been normal if not for the “candid” photos of Swift and Hiddleston walking hand-in-hand on the beach, enjoying a holiday in Rome and – most recently – hamming it up together in Rhode Island.

On July 3rd, Swift invited a bunch of celebrity friends to her oceanside home, and photographers snapped photos of the group – which included a very pregnant Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Ruby Rose, Gigi Hadid and Cara Delevignne – splashing around in the ocean.

Hiddleston, who has a truly fantastic body, covered up with an “I Heart T.S” tank top, and donned a temporary heart tattoo (with a “T” in the middle) on his shoulder.

Buzzfeed explored the possibility that both parties are in this for promotional purposes.  In fact, one fan offered up this theory:

“I really think the Taylor Swift /Tom Hiddleston thing could be a music video,” @TattooedTruffle tweeted.

“In fact as a screw you to the media I hope it is.”

The Telegraph‘s Anita Singh was equally skeptical.

“This whole relationship will turn out to be an elaborate piece of performance art, mark my words,” she tweeted.

According to Buzzfeed, Swift has historically released a new album every two years (the last was 1989 in October 2014, which was preceded by the single, “Shake It Off” in August).

So, Swift could be gearing up for a single release this summer.

Hiddleston might be jonesin’ for publicity in order to score an Emmy nod for Manager.

What’s even weirder is that Hiddleston and Swift have been followed by the same paparazzo throughout the entirety of their courtship, suggesting that the photographer has been hired to capture their most romantic moments.

This theory, though unconfirmed, was the topic of conversation among my friends over the Fourth of July weekend.  

One person took a look at Hiddleston in the tank top and said, “They’re f***ing with us.”

So, Swiddleton/Swiddleswift/Tiddleston…whatever you call yourself.  End this dog-and-pony show and just be honest about your motives, because this is getting silly.
