Kailyn Lowry to Jenelle Evans: Thanks For Telling the World I"m Pregnant!

Jenelle Evans isn’t very popular with her Teen Mom 2 castmates these days.


On Tuesday, Jenelle’s feud with Chelsea Houska erupted in epic fashion on Twitter, and it wasn’t even Jenelle’s first beef of the week!


That title belongs to the Jenelle vs. Kailyn Lowry bout that fans witnessed on the Teen Mom 2 after show on Monday night.



As you may have heard, Kailyn is pregnant with her third child these days, and like Jenelle before her, she unsuccessfully tried to keep the news under wraps during the early months of her pregnancy.


For weeks before she broke the news, fans were openly speculating that Kailyn was secretly knocked up.


Kailyn repeatedly denied it, which makes sense, as she hoped to go public with the news on her own terms.


But brushing off the rumors became considerably more difficult after Jenelle seemed to publicly confirm that Kailyn is pregnant.


Jenelle tweeted her congratulations to Kailyn several days before she shared the news of her pregnancy in a press release, and Lowry said on Monday night that she believes it was a cynical attempt to re-ignite an ongoing feud:



“Jenelle tweeted something that she heard from the crew before I announced it,” Lowry said on after-show.


“I wasn’t planning to announce it that way. I didn’t get to do it the way I wanted.”


Kailyn speculated that Evans congratulated her to be a “smart ass,” adding, “We haven’t always been on good terms.”


After the show, however, in an unexpected turn of events, Kailyn seemed to apologize to Jenelle on social media, telling Radar Online:


“She apologized because it wasn’t me, it was Javi [Marroquin].”



Jenelle claims the reason for Kailyn’s contrition is that she realized the tweet she falsely attributed to Evans was actually posted by Javi Marroquin.


No word on how Kailyn might have confused the father of her second child with her rival co-star who lives in a different state, but hey, if this is the least unbelievable story Jenelle tells this week, we’ll consider ourselves lucky.


Amazingly, an anonymous source tells Radar that Kailyn actually did realize her mistake, and issued an apology to Jenelle simply to clear the air:


“They just haven’t always seen eye to eye at different times throughout the years,” the source said.


“She did feel bad about calling her out. Once Jenelle explained the situation to her privately, she did apologize.”



Yes, someone is apologizing to Jenelle Evans, instead of waiting impatiently for an apology from her.


This year is just full of surprises!


Watch Teen Mom 2 online for a reminder of just how bonkers the Carolina Hurricane really is.

T.I. & Tiny: Divorce Drama Saves show from Cancellation!

VH1 is not quite ready to let go of T.I. & Tiny: The Family Hustle


Apparently, the network met with the producers with the intention of canceling the show, but the producers pretty much sold their soul to get the show back on the air. 



Kidding aside, the network’s 180 was down to the fact the producers promised the show would be filled with a lot of drama now that T.I and Tiny are divorcing. 


In December, Tiny filed for divorce from T.I. after six years of marriage. Viewers were not impressed that it was foreshadowed by the couple filming most of Season 5 separately. 


We are now hearing that part of the deal included the couple shooting more scenes together. That is not entirely a bad thing. 



Viewers love to watch the drama unfold on reality TV so that could result in increased ratings for the show. The show has never reached the mass appeal or recognition of the Love & Hip Hop franchise. 


Apparently, Tiny is in no rush to finalize the divorce, so this could be the proof VH1 needed that there is going to be a lot of drama ahead for the pair. 


It’s unclear whether the new season will continue to go for bigger episode orders, or if the network opted for a shorter order to judge how audiences react to the new dynamics. 



T.I. and Tiny kicked off their relationship way back in 2001. They got married in 2010 and have three children together. 


The pair will be ecstatic about the renewal.


The show will help keep both of them in the public eye, and they will probably get a lot more recognition now that they’re going the divorce route. 


Hey, they need to do something to keep them being talked about. 


What do you think about all of this?


Sound off below!

Teen Mom 4: Actually Coming to MTV!

Will the Teen Mom franchise ever conclude on MTV?


If a recent casting call is anything to go by, no.


MTV is looking to launch a fourth iteration of the popular reality series. In addition, a casting call was released for a new season of the show that started it all: 16 & Pregnant. 



When you think about it, it’s actually a good idea. Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 are still on the air, with the likes of Farrah Abraham, Jenelle Evans and Leah Messer giving viewers much to talk about. 


With the two editions getting older, it makes perfect sense for MTV to try to find their next batch of young mothers to exploit and edit to look like terrible mothers. 



The official casting call for Teen Mom 4 reads:


MTV is casting for a new season of the thought-provoking documentary series Teen Mom. This hit series follows the journeys of strong-willed and opinionated women who faced an unexpected pregnancy as a teen and now, in their early 20’s, are navigating the difficulties of raising a child.


Our goal is to give viewers a look inside the realities of motherhood — from balancing school and/or work responsibilities to navigating incredibly difficult decisions and relationships with boyfriends and parents. MTV is looking for young mothers from diverse backgrounds who had children in their late teens and those children are now between the ages of 4 and 7; who would like to share their dramatic personal stories about their complicated journeys.


If you are outspoken, unfiltered and funny, we want to hear from you! Please email us as soon as possible at MTVTeenMom2017@gmail.com. Include the city and state you live in, your contact details, a picture and the reason why you’d like to share your story as part of the Teen Mom series. Applicants must be at least 16 years of age. Applicants should appear to be between the ages of 16 and 25.


With Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2 already part of the roster, the network will be looking to make this version a success. 



Teen Mom 3 was the most recent addition to the franchise, but poor ratings concerned the network and the show never made the cut for a second run. 


If you recall, the cast members engaged in a bitter feud with the stars of the other two series in the franchise. They were clearly bitter about the fact their show was canceled. 


The casting call for 16 & Pregnant reads:


MTV is casting for the thought-provoking documentary series “16 and Pregnant.” This series follows the journeys of young women as they face unexpected pregnancies and navigate the difficulties of becoming parents at a young age.


Our goal is to give viewers a look inside the realities of teen pregnancy — from morning sickness and balancing school responsibilities to navigating incredibly difficult decisions and relationships with boyfriends and/or parents, ultimately to the day of the baby’s arrival and beyond.


MTV is looking for young women from varying backgrounds who are facing an unplanned pregnancy and would like to share their personal story about this life-changing and complicated journey.


If you would like to share your story in order to raise awareness about this issue, please email us as soon as possible at 16andPregnantCasting2017@gmail.com. Include the city and state you live in and the reason why you’d like to share your story as part of “16 and Pregnant.” Applicants must be at least 16 years of age as of February 1, 2017 to apply.


16 & Pregnant has not been on the air since 2014, but there have been rumblings over the past few years that MTV always planned to reboot the franchise. 



The Teen Mom franchise is the only one that’s doing well for the Viacom-owned network right now. Both series on the air now are managing to hit the sweet spot with the young demographics. 


The same cannot be said for the network’s scripted slate. The network’s highest rated drama this season is Teen Wolf, but it averaged just a 0.2 rating among adults 18-49 for the first half of Season 6. 


That’s a fraction of what the Teen Mom franchise is pulling in, so look for MTV to continue to get rid of their scripted slate and move more towards reality TV. 


Are you ready for new editions to the franchise?

Leah Messer: Pregnant With FOURTH Child?!

Is Leah Messer pregnant with her fourth child?


That rumor surfaced this week, courtesy of a scene on Monday night’s Teen Mom 2 and a live stream quote from her third child, Adalynn.


Predictably, Twitter is just about losing its mind.



With Jenelle Evans and Chelsea Houska both having given birth in January, and Kailyn Lowry pregnant, was Messer feeling left out?!


We kid, but if Leah were expecting right now, all four Teen Mom 2 stars would’ve been pregnant at some point in 2017, which is just …


Not sure what superlative to use there, even.


In any case, the rumor got started during a Facebook live video (see above) in which Leah’s daughter Addie seemingly spills the beans.


She whispers to her, “tell them ’bout the baby in your tummy,” and then Addie says it again, though the first time is more clearly audible.


Leah didn’t react at all to Addie’s comments, but the 24-year-old began to struggle with the camera, and deleted the Facebook video.


Then there was this on Teen Mom 2



Sonogram photos were seen on Leah’s refrigerator, naturally causing fans to wonder if she could possibly be pregnant with her fourth.


Regarding those ultrasound images above, the MTV scene in question was filmed at the time when Leah’s sister Victoria was pregnant.


She was possibly living with Leah as well, according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, so there’s a great chance that the pics are hers.


Even if the sonograms aren’t of Victoria’s baby, they could be old ones of Leah’s (it’s possible), as the baby is clearly pretty well developed.


As for Addie’s video, Leah eventually addressed the speculation caused by her daughter with Jeremy Calvert, telling fans on Twitter:


“I am definitely not [pregnant],” Leah wrote.


“I have the IUD.”



“Kids say the craziest things,” Leah wrote one fan, adding:


“Side note: you have to be sexually active to get pregnant.”


Ouch! An amusing way to shoot down the rumor for sure.


As for the obvious question: Is Leah telling the truth?


It’s a fair one to ask, given how her co-stars Jenelle and Kailyn recently lied or dodged questions pertaining to their own third pregnancies.


According to The Ashley, however, Leah isn’t pregnant.


“She has never mentioned anything to the crew, and there have been no indications at all that she’s expecting,” one source reports. 




Leah


“She’s really, really thin right now, too,” the source adds.


“There is absolutely not tummy whatsoever.”


Recent Leah Messer weight loss photos have surprised fans, even sparking (false) rumors that she has a drug problem once again.


She doesn’t have a drug problem, let’s just repeat that again. But if anything, she’s looking less pregnant these days than ever before.


Another source says that Leah is flat-out denying it when asked to her face, as well as with comments on her private Facebook (above).


“She’s not pregnant,” another source says.


Probably for the best. We can now put this rumor to rest and go back to debating whether these are inappropriately disturbing photos of her kids.
