Kailyn Lowry: Throwing Shade at Jenelle Evans on Twitter?!

Last night, MTV aired a special episode of Teen Mom 2 that focused on the life of Jenelle’s hot-tempered mother, Barbara.




Babs bad-mouthed Jenelle, as just about everyone but Jenelle expected her to, and for the most part, social media applauded the elder Evans for her candor.


We imagine Jenelle was more than a bit surprised to learn that at least one of her co-stars appears to be staunchly Team Babs.


During the special Kailyn retweeted the following post from a fan:


“Barb is right! Kail had no family and still did what she had to do for her boy! Janelle don’t want him back for real! #teenmom2”


Now, re-tweet shade is subtle, but it’s shade nonetheless.


The fan was complimenting Kailyn’s parenting, but she was also very clearly dissing Jenelle.


…And it’s not like Jenelle is known for her level-headed responses to perceived insults.


We’re guessing Kailyn knew exactly what she was doing when she hit that retweet button, and based on the fact that it’s still on her page, we’re guessing she really doesn’t care.


Remarkably, Jenelle has yet to fire back at Kailyn.


Maybe she’s just decided to let this one slide.


Or maybe she’s too busy slamming Teen Mom 2 editors, her mom, her sister, and just about everyone else in her life, as she’s been doing for the past 24 hours. 


Knowing how much Jenelle loves a feud, however, we’re guessing she won’t be going much longer without addressing Kailyn’s retweet.


LeAnn Rimes: It"s Not Easy Being a Homewrecker!

Just when we were really beginning to believe that Leann Rimes and Brandi Glanville were ready to make peace, Mrs. Rimes-Cibrian goes out of her way to throw seven kinds of shade across multiple media platforms.



First there were the competing butt selfies, which felt like something from a remake of Single White Female where the villain is just as obsessed with herself as she is with the hero.


Now, after a few weeks of keeping relatively quiet (by her standards) LeAnn has an album to promote, which means she’s back to drumming up drama by telling her sob story and letting the world know how hard it is to be LeAnn.


In a recent interview with the Chicago Tribune, LeAnn was asked about life as a stepmom and her mildly controversial decision to sing about her stepkids in her new songs.


LeAnn whiffed at the softball question and babbled on about how much she likes to “rile people up.”


“I think I’m realizing I’ve always been able to move people, just getting people to talk. I’m talking about a subject that doesn’t get written about,” she said.


“I know society these days, I know people are wanting to find everything they can to pick things apart, but I have to write from my heart and my experiences, and I fully own them. Those are mine to share.”


The theme of the piece (chosen by LeAnn’s PR team, no doubt) was that LeAnn is no longer a “magnet for scandals,” so naturally she decided to talk about her affair with Eddie Cibrian … aka the most scandalous part of her “career.”


“I’m not the only one who’s ever been through that situation,” Rimes said, as though she’s some sort of war hero.


“I don’t know if a lot of people in that situation have the guts to even talk about it. I don’t know if I would’ve had the guts to fully embrace all of that if I hadn’t gone through it as publicly as I did.


“Sometimes you’ve gotta say, ‘Screw it.’ You’ve gotta own it.”


We were almost with her, until she started giving herself props for “owning” her extramarital affair.


In any event, it sounds like a really personal album – ya know, despite the fact that LeAnn stole the title track from another artist and has yet to acknowledge it.


We’re sure on her next record she’ll have a song about how hard it is to be a plagiarist.

Beyonce Pretends to Understand Tennis, Gets Mocked By Twitter

Over the weekend, Serena Williams triumphed over Angelique Kerber at Wimbledon to take home her 22nd Grand Slam title.


Folks from all over the world tuned in to watch the match, and as always, the best and brightest from the worlds of sports, business and entertainment were on hand to catch Serena’s victory live.



Unfortunately, it seems that at least one of them wasn’t fully aware of what was happening.


Beyonce and Jay Z were on hand at Wimbledon, which makes perfect sense:


She seems to have gotten over that whole “Becky With the Good Hair” thing, he loves sports, and she loves being seen places.


There’s no questioning who Queen Bey was rooting for, as she and Serena are friends and occasional collaborators.


(In case you missed it, Serena’s slow twerk in Bey’s “Sorry” video my have ben the highlight of … life, actually.)


But some folks think Mrs. Carter was a little slow on the uptake during her bestie’s big moment.


Check out the footage and judge for yourself:



As you can see, when Williams scores the winning point, Bey seems to take her cue from the crowd that it’s time to cheer.


Was she mentally checked out, or is she just not totally sure how tennis works?


Either way, we’re sure millions can relate.


And we’re guessing Serena isn’t too torn up about it.


Not only did she tie Steffi Graf as the winningest woman in Open Era tennis, she also got to take a selfie video with Kate Middleton.


All-in-all, not a bad weekend.


Pokemon GO Plunges 27-Year Old Into Existential Crisis

Pokemon GO is making it impossible to live a normal life.


Just ask the weatherman in the following video, who was just trying to do his job recently when…


… yup, you guessed it: a colleague wandered through his live news report.



And also ask the young woman in the following video.


She starts out the self-filmed footage by explaining that she was initially really angry over Pokemon GO.


Why?


Because the app, which forces players to go into the real world in order to track down Pokemon (who appears to them on their phone screens at various locations), was causing upheaval at her workplace.


It"s unclear just where this woman works (Walmart?), but she makes it VERY clear in this video that there have been a number of disturbances there as a result of Pokemon GO.



We can only imagine.


It"s hard to do one"s job when random people keep walking all around you, trying to find confusing, animated creatures.


At first she attempted to resist the hype, but later decided to download the game to see what the fuss is about.


And then it was all over. Then she was screwed.


Then she was hooked on Pokemon GO herself, jetting from place to place in order to come out on top and wondering how she ended up there.


"I thought if I downloaded the game I could catch all the Pokemons in my work and people would stop coming to catch them," she says, "But that"s not how it works."


And now?


Well… now she finds herself obsessing over the game at all times, traveling from spot to spot in her quest to be the very, very best.


"This is just not where I saw myself at 27 years old," she confesses toward the end of the video.


We feel her pain. But we also want her to know the following:


It"s never too late to change.
