Teen Mom 2 Stars Demand More Money, Better Editing From MTV

Ah, contract re-negotiations.  Things can get out of hand if both sides are not careful with their approach.



The girls on Teen Mom 2 might have been dumb enough not to use a condom at one point in the lives, but they know how much money they’ve made MTV.


So, like any successful TV star, Chelsea Houska, Kailyn Lowry, Jenelle Evans and Leah Messer are ready to fight for their worth.


The only problem is that contracts are already in place, and producers are finding all sorts of loopholes to avoid negotiations.


“MTV has locked the girls all down for season 7 so they have been calling the latest filming ‘extra’ or ‘bonus’ footage so they don’t have to negotiate a new contract,” a source told Radar Online.


Naturally, there will be spats here and there about playing favorites, and what should air.


“The girls think that Chelsea is the favorite,” a source told Radar Online.



“It seems like she gets the best edit and they think it is unfair.”


Houska gets the best edits because she is in a really great place in her life. She’s not working through divorce number two or battling substance abuse, nor is she getting herself arrested.  


Meanwhile…


“Jenelle has been filming again,” the source said.  “MTV knows her life is so up and down that they want to make sure they get all the details.” 


Evans kinda/sorta confirmed her third pregnancy recently, so there will be plenty of useful footage featuring her baby daddy, David Eason and mom, Babs.


Evans is constantly complaining about the way her storyline is edited, but if Andy Cohen has taught us anything about reality TV, the content speaks for itself.


Also filming again? All the dads, be they estranged from their children, fighting with their baby mamas or just plain irritating to watch.


“MTV has all of the dads filming, no matter how much the girls hate them,” the source added.


Remember that time Adam Lind revealed Teen Mom 2 salaries?  Hopefully he’ll give an update at some point


Katy Perry on Taylor Swift-Kim Kardashian Feud: I"m Lovin" It!

Now that the feud between Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian has gone from cold war to nuclear holocaust, dozens of celebrities have weighed in on the unexpected clash of the A-listers.



Of course, the one opinion that matters most when it comes to the competitive side of Ms. Swift is that of her longtime foe Katy Perry.


Katy threw some subtle shade at Taylor earlier this week while the rest of the Internet was reveling in her undoing.



To her credit, Katy didn’t do too much gloating, and the temptation must have been hard to resist.


After all, it’s not every day that your rival is exposed as a liar and trash-talked by millions of social media users.


But while she hasn’t taken to the streets to celebrate, don’t think for a second that Katy is anything less than thrilled with Taylor’s latest PR crisis.


“Katy is so happy that someone finally put Taylor in her place,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. 


And Katy, being the polite pop queen that she is, knew the proper etiquette to observe when someone slays one of your enemies for you:


“Katy called Kim personally to thank her after she saw the video exposing Taylor,” the insider adds.


“She has dealt with Taylor’s high school mind games and lies for so long and she is so glad that Kim showed the world.”


As for what caused the beef between the two singers, Katy reportedly believes the whole thing about stealing backup dancers is BS cooked up by Swift’s PR team.


She says at the end of the day the bad blood all comes down to Katy’s relationship with John Mayer, who got back together with Perry not long after briefly dating Taylor.


“Katy thinks that it all comes down to the fact that John wanted to be with her and not Taylor,” the source says.


“That is real reason Taylor brought up the drama about Katy stealing her dancers.”


Look what you’ve done, John Mayer!


Eh, we’re sure it was totally worth it.


Kylie Jenner Throws It WAY Back in New Puma Ad

We already knew that Kylie Jenner likes old things.


Just take a look at her boyfriend.


But we had no idea she liked things this old…



In her latest print on for Puma, the 18-year old reality star is using technology that hasn’t been around itself in about 18 years, posing for the camera while talking on a pay phone.


Yes, a pay phone.


For those unaware, a pay phone works just like an iPhone.


Well, except that you can’t text from it. Or send photos with is. Or put it in your pocket.


You can’t download Instagram off of it or use Snapchat or purchase Kim Kardashian: Hollywood with it or anything like that.


You can only talk to other people with it. After putting coins in a slot in order to do so.


If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online, or were born after the year 2000, you probably have never seen one in use.



Why is Kylie using such a contraption in 2016?


Because Puma is celebrating an a milestone with this campaign.


The PUMA Suede started its story in 1968,” reads the caption to the above photo.


“Worn by athletes, b-boys, and hip hop stars of the day. Today, the story continues on the feet of another icon: PUMA Suede, meet @KylieJenner.”


Yes, it just referred to Kylie Jenner as a an icon pretty much.


Tragically, to those of her generation, this is fairly accurate.
