Adam Lind and Stasia Huber: Engagement Confirmed!

Teen Mom 2’s Adam Lind is engaged to his girlfriend, Stasia Huber.


This has finally been confirmed by the lucky (?) woman herself!



While Adam has yet to address reports that he is engaged to Stasia Huber, she recently confirmed that she is, indeed, engaged to Lind.


She even showed off their rings to prove it. Check ’em out:



According to Stasia’s recent Facebook post, Adam proposed May 13 (though they kept the engagement private until she just confirmed it).


As for the details of Lind getting down on one knee, etc.?


“I’d say but I don’t want to embarrass him,” Stasia wrote.


“If he wants to tell it he can,” Huber added, and we’re not holding our breath, but “just know it had me in tears and was crazy and perfect.”


Aww. Adam Lind is nothing if not a true romantic.


Apparently, the proposal wasn’t a huge surprise to Stasia, who stated that she picked out her engagement ring (which explains a lot).


“I got exactly what I wanted,” Stasia wrote, and when one is dating Adam Lind, the only way to guarantee such a thing is to do it yourself.


Sorry, we’ll stop. Chelsea Houska knows what we’re talking about, though. Taylor Halbur, too. We’re not being haters, just stating facts.


Anyway, Stasia is over the moon, and defended Lind against critics who said her diamond wasn’t large enough (seriously, people are idiots).


Yes, it could’ve been bigger, she said – but this was her call.


“Any bigger would have been too much for me,” Stasia wrote.


“I spent weeks looking at styles and knew exactly what I wanted… I tried on bigger ones and it looked gaudy on my small hands.”


“I actually got a little bigger than I originally picked,” she adds, but not as a status thing, simply “because this diamond was shinier.”


This is the first engagement for both Adam and Stasia.


It’s not clear if the proposal was captured by MTV cameras, but given reports of Lind getting fired from Teen Mom 2, we’d kind of doubt it.


Yes, he is very much involved in the new season, but is being such a pain in the a$ $ that we can see him not allowing this to be filmed.


We’ll find out in any case whether it was filmed … and, while we don’t like to be skeptics on such a happy occasion, if they make it to the altar.


Given his track record …

Karlie Hay to Retain Miss Teen USA Title Amidst N-Word Scandal

Earlier this month, Genesis Davis was stripped of her Miss Florida 2017 crown because she used professional hair and makeup artists in her private room.


That move violated company guidelines, so the pageant had no choice but to relieve Davis of her duties.



Fair enough, we suppose, but now contrast that decision with the one arrived at by Miss Teen USA officials this morning.


On Saturday night, Karlie Hay won this crown in a contest mostly comprised of white women with blonde hair and blue eyes.


The composition of the field, of course, was not the fault of the contestants themselves… but the same excuse can’t be used when it comes to Hay’s Twitter account.


Within hours of Hay’s victory, past Tweets in which Hay used the N-Word on multiple occasions went viral.


They all appear to have been from 2013 and they all seem to feature Hay throwing around that racial epithet in casual conversation.


To wit: 




Karlie Hay tweets



The Miss Universe Organization, which owns the Miss Teen USA pageant, condemned the messages, but has said Hay will keep her sash and the organization will support “her continued growth.”


“The language Karlie Hay used is unacceptable at any age and in no way reflects the values of the Miss Universe Organization,” higher-ups said in a statement obtained by KTRK.


On Instagram, meanwhile, Hay issued a lengthy statement of her own.


In it, she cites “personal struggles” as the basis for her N-Word usage back in the day.


“Several years ago, I had many personal struggles and found myself in a place that is not representative of who I am as a person,” wrote Hay, along with the photo featured below.


She continued:


“I admit that I have used language publicly in the past which I am not proud of and that there is no excuse for. Through hard work, education and thanks in large part to the sisterhood that I have come to know through pageants, I am proud to say that I am today a better person.


“I am honored to hold this title and I will use this platform to promote the values of The Miss Universe Organization, and my own, that recognize the confidence, beauty and perseverance of all women.”



Meanwhile, aside from Hay’s scandal, social media users criticized the organization after the top five finalists introduced at the Venetian in Las Vegas all turned out to be white.


And blonde-haired.


And blue-eyed.


“Wow how can we choose from such a diverse bunch,” Chrissy Teigen wrote in jest of the finalists in a tweet, adding:


“It’s fiiiiiine. Not their fault. I’m sure they are delightful women. Just funny. I’m not gonna write a think-piece on a damn pageant.”


No, neither are we.


But look at all the scandals that have befallen these pageants in the past (below) and then remind yourself that the year is 2016 and wonder:


How can these ridiculous things still exist?!?


The Bachelorette Spoilers: Who Does JoJo Pick ... and Are They Still Together?!

For JoJo Fletcher and all of Bachelor Nation, it all comes down to this.


Will The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve reported all season long play out as expected tonight, or is an epic finale twist just hours away?



Robby Hayes. Jordan Rodgers. One rose. One thousand red flags.


It’s hard to say which of JoJo’s final two guys would be a worse pick, based on everything we’ve seen, read and heard up until now.


Maybe she’ll pull a Brad Womack this evening and choose herself. 


Unlikely. In fact, a proposal is all but guaranteed. To whom, and what plays out in the aftermath? Those are very different issues entirely.


WARNING: It goes without saying, but if you don’t want The Bachelorette spoilers to give away the end of this season, back off now!


Okay, with that cautionary word out of the way, let’s get into it …



The man, the myth, the Dallas blogging legend Reality Steve has said for months that Jordan Rodgers will prevail over Robby Hayes.


He has not wavered in this prediction, and his track record spoiling both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette over the years is strong.


Not perfect, as the skeptics will gleefully point out, but strong.


Steve will be the first to admit that he is but one man going up against a TV juggernaut, and that he has been thrown for a loop before.


Does that mean he’s wrong in this case, though?


A preview for the Bachelorette finale appears to show JoJo telling one man that she wanted to feel in love and wanted it “to be him.”


Alas, what he did to her was “not right.”


Could it be that Jordan Rodgers’ shady past finally caught up to the “player” after all, opening the door for Robby Hayes as the surprise winner?


Contrarily, might Ms. Fletcher be referring to Robby’s recent breakup with Hope Higginbotham 43 seconds before he went on the show to woo her?


Either way, the producers of The Bachelorette sure know how to cut a slick promo, and keep fans guessing from beginning to end.


It’s uncanny how good they are, really. In any case, it won’t matter, because Reality Steve remains confident that he’s on point.


JoJo will pick Jordan over Robby, but here’s the twist:



It’s already over between the dream couple!


Reality Steve all but confirmed that JoJo and Jordan are no longer engaged, citing a lot of information from sources “close to the situation.”


For weeks on end now, he says, “This has been coming too loud and too often to ignore. I trust these sources who have told me this.” 


“Put it this way, I’ve had way more people tell they aren’t together anymore than ones that said they are,” the Oracle of Spoilers says.


“Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, is saying everything is great, they’re in love, and things are working out perfectly,” Steve adds, reiterating:


“Some of these people are pretty close to the situation.”


Asked by a Twitter follower if he was speculating about the breakup of Jordan and JoJo, Steve stated that it’s his job “not to guess.”


Sounds like a pretty definitive IT’S OVER to us.


As for whether we get clarification on their status tonight on the After the Final Rose special, well … that could obviously go either way.


Steve notes, accurately, that even if it is over, they could put on a good front Monday and bide time until the media circus dies down.


“From everything I’m hearing, they’re not together.”


“So [I] would doubt anything else they show us. If they are together, I think they might just be telling us that to protect their pride.” 


“There’s just too many things I’ve heard over the past 3-4 weeks or so that suggest not everything is perfect in their world.”


Long story short: Outlook not so good.


What do you think? Will JoJo make the right decision on The Bachelorette finale, and will she make it to the altar with her final rose recipient?
