Taylor Selfridge: Booked for Teen Mom OG!

Teen Mom OG may have found a replacement for Bristol Palin.

And we're guessing this newbie brings far more fireworks to the program than her mostly mundane and boring predecessor.

Are you ready to welcome Taylor Selfridge to the fold, MTV viewers?!?

Taylor Selfridge and Cory Wharton

The relatively unknown Instagram model has confirmed that she'll appear on multiple episodes of Teen Mom OG next season, as the series chronicles her relationship with Cory Wharton.

The pair met during the first season of Ex on the Beach and dated briefly after the show wrapped, prior to breaking up and then getting back together in February of this year.

Taylor and Cory went public with their new romance by sharing multiple "baecation" photos of each other in Mexico about two months ago.

“Things with Cory are going really great right now,” Selfridge told Us Weekly on Tuesday, adding:

“I don’t know what the future holds for us as far as taking our relationship further, but we are in a good place and we’re very happy.”

She added in this interview that she'll be at least a part-time cast member on Teen Mom OG next season.

Following the announcement that he was knocking boots once again with Selfridge, Wharton - who debuted on Teen Mom OG last year as the baby daddy of star Cheyenne Floyd - responded to a bunch of criticism from Internet trolls as follows:

"Cheyenne's a great person, a fabulous mother, and I'll always have some love for Cheyenne but I'm not IN love with Cheyenne...

"I have to do what I have to do and Taylor is the person who makes me happy. I'm sorry to disappoint some of y'all...if Y'all really want to see me happy, you'll support me no matter what."

Selfridge has mostly made reality TV fans angry over the years, however, due to actions such as spitting on one of Cory's exes, Alicia Lavida, during an episode of Ex On The Beach.

She is fiery and confrontational and seems destined to stir $hit up far more than Palin, who dropped out of the show last week and who was stuck in a storyline all season long with her now-ex-husband.

She didn't feud with any co-stars at all, really.

Will Selfridge bring a different type of personality?

It sure seems that way.

But Selfridge claims there's no bad blood at all between her and Floyd, despite Cheyenne hinting strongly at times last season that she wanted to be fully together with Wharton.

“We both understand that there has to be mutual respect for each other and her and I are cordial,” Taylor told told Us Weekly of Cheyenne, who did have a brief fling with Cory after Taylor and Cory split the first time.

Selfridge also noted that she and Floyd have a solid relationship.

“I met Cheyenne over a year ago so it wasn’t new to me to see hr. Of course it’s somewhat awkward but her and I have talked, and there’s no drama between us."

Why do we feel like that may change once cameras start rolling?

Wharton and Floyd are the parents of a two-year old named Ryder.

And Selfridge was actually on hand for the recent birthday party, saying that Floyd's family made her feel "very comfortable" the whole time.

As for backlash against their relationship on social media? Selfridge says she's only focusing on the positive. 

“I know people want there to be drama in the situation we’re in, but there’s just not any and no one wants there to be problems. I’m just enjoying my relationship I’m blessed to have with Cory and Ryder.”


Lori Loughlin is Finally Realizing She May Be Screwed

According to multiple new reports, Lori Loughlin has been playing a figurative game of poker with the district attorney's office over the past few weeks.

And while the actress thought prosecutors were only holding a pair of 2s, it turned out that they've basically been holding... yes, you guessed it:

A full house.

Loughlin, Lori

Tremndous puns and segues aside, Loughlin appears to now be in dire trouble with the law because she previously didn't believe she was in any real trouble at all.

Yes, the veteran star was indicted back on March 12 along with dozens of other defendents, accused at the time of bribing officials at the University of Southern California with $500,000 in order to get her two daughters into this university.

The scheme involved dressing up her two kids in fake high school crew team uniforms in order to pretend they were athletic recruits and, thereby, get their admission standards lowered.

The scam worked; the teenagers were accepted into USC; and then it all came crashing down a month ago.

Despite the seriousness of the charges against her, however, Loughlin allegedly didn't think she'd ever see any jail time.

Lori Loughlin Off to Court

Which makes sense, right?

She's rich and privileged and these traits are how she ended up in this mess to begin with.

Due to her ignorant and entitled attitude, Loughlin did NOT align herself with fellow actress Felicity Huffman.

She did notplead guilty a couple days ago and accept a plea bargain that will most likely lead to a sentencing of a few months in prison... at most.

About 24 hours later, Loughlin and her husband, Mossimo Giannulli, were charged in a second superseding indictment on conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering.

As such, the couple now faces a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison, two decades a piece for each charge.

Aunt Becky

Sh-t is very much getting real now for Loughlin -- and it's finally sinking in, insiders confirm.

"Lori still believed in the end she would just get a slap on the wrist," a source tells Entertainment Tonight. "At this point she is getting complete clarity and she’s scared and in terrible shape."

Another informant echoes this sentiment, explaining to E! News of Loughlin:

"She has been in complete denial and thought maybe she could skate by. She refused to accept any jail time and thought the DA was bluffing. She was adamant she wouldn't do any jail time."

Loughlin and her oldest daughter, Olivia Jade, are pictured here:

Olivia Jade and Lori Loughlin on Instagram

"The reality of this situation has finally hit her like a ton of bricks," the ET source adds. "It wasn’t until she was faced with [the] additional [charge] that she saw the true ramifications."

It's been rumored from the start that prosecutors were intent on making an example out of Loughlin and her co-defendents.

But while this message was apparently made clear to Huffman and the others who agreed to a plea deal this week, Loughlin's ears were deaf to the situation.

Huffman apologized profusely for her role in this nationwide scandal, releasing the following statement:

huffman state

Can we ever expect the same from Loughlin?

It appears far too late at this point.

"Lori is finally realizing just how serious this is," says the ET mole, noting the former child model is beating herself up for not accepting the initial deal and concluding:

"She is seeing the light that she will do jail time and is freaking out."

The Real Housewives of New York Recap: Who Made Bethenny Frankel Cry?

Our favorite housewives were still in the Berzerkshires on Wednesday's episode of The Real Housewives of New York City, and that can only mean one thing: 

Drama!

By the end of the installment, there were tears and a great big divide. 

Bethenny Frankel Cries

Dorinda Medley, who is annoying much of her co-stars these days, decided to take the ladies to Ventfort Hall. 

Sonja Morgan was in her element, taking in the beautiful building, but the trip also caused some problems for her. 

It reminded her of the townhouse she shared with her ex. Yes, her townhouse was like a studio in comparison, but it still reminded her of that beautiful New York townhouse. 

Remember she was trying to get rid of it? 

Dorinda Medley Attends Premiere

At the mansion, Dorinda was trying to learn everything there was to know about the family who lived in the exquisite abode. 

At one point, she even picked up a handwritten letter in one of the rooms, and Sonja was livid. She told her friend to get her fingers off the note and to respect that it was not for her to read. 

"Maybe it's all the old wood and the dust and the smell of mold, but it goes from Sonja to Lady Morgan very quickly," Luann de Lesseps said in bewilderment. 

Ramona Singer picked up on Sonja's wild behavior and spoke to Dorinda about it at the end of the trip. 

When they returned to their living quarters, Sonja could not help but get as drunk as possible. She was knocking those drinks back like they were going out of fashion.

It was pretty bizarre!

Sonja went on one of her drunken tirades of terror, and not one of the women were safe. She asked Bethenny Frankel to indulge in a night of passion with her. 

Yes, really. 

She followed that up by bashing Barbara Kavovit for trying to "steal" Bethenny for her. 

"You come near her room tonight, I'm gonna punch your face out," Sonja said to a visibly alarmed Barbara. 

"What are you talking about, Sonja?" Dorinda wondered.

Dorinda Medley Picture

"I'm talkin' about the truth!" Sonja shouted.

Bethenny told her to sip some water, and Sonja said that were "goin' all night."

"We're going to the billiards!" she laughed. 

Dorinda then tried to get her dog away from Sonja, and the latter lashed out. 

The ladies chatted about jewelry they had been given from their exes, and Dorinda chatted about her deceased husband.

"Oh, boy, here we go!" Sonja yelled, but the ladies had no idea what was going on, so they asked her. 

"No, I have no problem talking about Richard!" she maintained. "So she doesn't want to talk about my husband?"

Dorinda Medley Cries

Tinsley stepped in, saying that Dorinda took them all out that day. 

I said, 'Look at these antiques,' and Dorinda put her paws all over these letters," Sonja complained before shouting, "You got in that house, YOU DON'T TOUCH THOSE F--KING LETTERS! YOU DON'T TOUCH THE F--KING MORGAN LETTERS!" It was pretty embarrassing. 

Elsewhere, Bethenny was blindsided by Luann's complaints about the bedroom situation, primarily because Bethenny was one of the few people who tried to help her when she relapsed.

"Why is Luann talking behind my back at all saying any negative thing about me whatsoever in any capacity at all in any iteration whatsoever?!" Bethenny complained to Dorinda.

"She should be saying, 'You are the Lord Jesus Christ,' and I don't even know if I believe in that. I'm not Catholic."

"I really can't wrap my head around that," Bethenny added in a confessional.

"We went through this intervention together, and I didn't do what I did for her because I feel that she owes me, but saying anything negative or anything catty -- zero bandwidth."

For months now, we've been hearing nonstop rumors that Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra are headed for divorce.

Of course, it's not uncommon for Teen Mom stars to find themselves at the center of such speculation, but in the Baltierras' case, there's reason to believe the reports are accurate.

Both Catelynn and Tyler have been put through the emotional wringer over the past year, and they've both admitted that their marriage has come under considerable strain.

Now, Catelynn is strongly implying that she and Tyler may be headed for divorce.

Take a look:

Kody Brown and Sister Wives Going to PRISON for Polygamy?!

$

0

While Christine Brown finally sold her Vegas home earlier this month, not all of the Sister Wives stars have had such success.

But it may be a good thing that Meri and Janelle's homes are still on the market. The Browns may need to flee back to Vegas.

Polygamy is seriously illegal in Arizona, and Kody and the sister wives could face fines and even prison time.

Robyn Brown, Kody Brown, and Janelle Brown

RadarOnline spoke to multiple experts on matters of law about whether Kody, Robyn, Meri, Janelle, and Christine are safe from the law in Flagstaff.

"Polygamy is unlawful in Arizona," criminal attorney Monica Lindstrom grimly reports.

This isn't just a matter of some offhand law. The law against plural marriage is sadly enshrined at the highest levels.

"Arizona's Constitution specifically addresses polygamy," Lindstrom notes.

Kody Brown on TLC

She continues: "and states in Article 20, section 2, 'Polygamous or plural marriages, or polygamous co-habitation, are forever prohibited within this state.'"

"Under Arizona's Constitution, living with one wife and a spiritual wife, or two or three etc.," she says.

Lindstrom continues: "could meet the definition of 'polygamous co-habitation,' which is prohibited."

While it's fortunate that the Browns wisely live in multiple homes, that might not be as much protection as they imagine.

Sister Wives Pic

Kody isn't legally married all four wives, but it looks like Arizona lawmakers were specifically prepared to address that.

"Arizona defines marriage as 'the state of joining together as husband and wife through an agreement, promise, or ceremony,'" Lindstrom explains.

It meets the definition "'regardless of whether a marriage license has been issued by the appropriate authority.'"

In other words, if a pair are married for all intents and purposes, then it counts as a marriage under the law in some circumstances.

Kody Brown on Season 8

"'Spouses' is defined as two persons living together as husband and wife," Lindstrom details.

She notes that this is "including the assumption of those marital rights, duties, and obligations that are usually manifested by married people."

Lindstrom explains that this is "including but not necessarily dependent on sexual relations."

"These definitions arguably include 'spiritual' marriages," she warns.

Lindstrom cautions: "which make what Kody Brown doing unlawful under Arizona law."

Meri Brown and Kody Brown Celebrate Her Birthday

Dwane Cates, managing partner of Dwane Cates Law Group, says that the Browns living in separate homes only offers an illusion of protection.

Cates says that having separate houses ultimately "doesn't matter."

In Arizona, bigamy is a class 5 felony that could even come with a prison sentence.

"He could get half a year to two-and-a-half years," Cates warns.

Cates also notes: "He could get probation up to three years and $150,000 in fines."

With four wives, Kody could risk being charged with four counts, but Cates adds that "It's up to the judge to decide."

Kody Brown, Janelle Brown at U2

Monica Lindstrom also explains why Meri, Christine, Janelle, and Robyn could find themselves in nearly as much hot water as Kody.

"It is a crime to marry the spouse of another person," she states.

Lindstrom details: "If the second wife knew the husband was married to the first wife, then she has violated the law."

"Although they themselves are not technically married to more than one person," she explains.

She reasons: "They have agreed to allow it and have agreed to facilitate it."

Meri Brown and Christine Brown

Cates' best advice is that the Brwon family could move back to Vegas to avoid any risk of prosecution.

"It would be that it's more socially acceptable," he observes. "And less likely to irritate in Nevada."

The one piece of good news is that the origins of these prejudiced, unjust laws was a desire to combat something very sinister.

Because of that, prosecutors may be happy to look the other way rather than prosecute or persecute a family of consenting adults.

"They typically go after if it's child bigamy the most," Cates notes. "Prosecutors can decide to charge them or to not."

Prosecutorial discretion will hopefully mean that the Browns are safe, but they're making a pretty huge gamble every day that they live in Arizona.

90 Day Fiance: Steven Frend Returns to America ... Without Olga!

Earlier this year, Steven Frend finally reunited with Olga Koshimbetova in Russia. 

The 90 Day Fiance couple had some romantic adventures in the snow with their precious new baby in tow.

But now, Steven has come back to America without his fiance and child. WTF, Steven?!

Olga Koshimbetova and Steven Frend

The reality TV personality has been in Russia for months visiting his new family.

He got to meet the in-laws, spend some quality time with his fiance, and bond with their son Alex. 

Although Steven came home alone, he promises he has a good explanation.

Steven Frend Instagram story explaining Olga absence

"I'm in the U.S. now, Olga will be here in a week or 2," Steven clarified in a recent instagram story.

"She already has her visa," he added. "Now we just need the plane tickets."

He concluded by explaining, "I had to leave Russia without Olga early or I was going to lose my job."

Steven Frend Cradles His Son

Well, we can't fault the guy for trying to make the responsible decision.

(We also can't get over how cute he looks with little Alex!)

So, we're okay with having to wait a little longer to see if Olga and Alex get their happily ever after with Steven.

Steven and Olga Kiss

At least Steven and Olga have been keeping fans up to speed with plenty of adorable social media posts.

It looks like the couple have been having tons of fun playing in the snow ... maybe too much fun. 

Well ok, except for the time when Steven had a tobogganing accident and wound up in a neck brace.

Steven Frend wipes out (gif) in the snow

Oh, there was also the time when he got a huge chest tattoo while still wearing said neck brace.

Steven claims he had to tap out after four hours of the painful process. 

And it probably wasn't fun when some fans cried foul at Steven's choice to even get the tattoo.

Steven Frend tattoo 03

After all, big tattoos are typically expensive, and it wasn't long ago that Steven asked fans to help pay his rent.

We know Steven's had some financial struggles in the past.

For instance, Olga had to teleconference into the last season's tell-all special because because Steven could not yet afford her K-1 visa or a place for the three of them to stay. 

With those major needs on the line, it makes sense that fans might not approve of Steven spending money that they possibly sent him on fresh ink.

Steven Frend and Olga Koshimbetova Tell All

Steven does have a decent job installing fire sprinklers these days. At $16 an hour, it isn't enough to support a family of three. 

But Steven has explained that he'll continue to get significant raises if he stays with the company, and it could be a lucrative position in a few years.

With that in mind, we applaud steven for keeping his priorities straight and getting back to work.

Olga and Steven Frend and Their Baby

Even though it ended a bit early, we'll call this a successful family vacation.

We didn't see a hint of the animousity on display between the couple during the show's last season.

Steven has been controversial for his moody attitude and inconsiderate treatment of Olga on the show.

We hope all these cute Instagram moments are evidence of a healthy fresh start for the couple.

Then again, it's easy to cultivate the image of a happy family on social media, even if that's not the reality. 
Steven Carries Olga in Russia

It's still not clear what's next for the family once Olga and Alex join Steven in America. We do know Olga won't be able to work right away.

Where will they live? What will they do for money? We don't even know if they'll make a return appearance on Happily Ever After? yet. 

Hopefully we'll learn more when 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? returns later this month. 

Meghan Markle: TRASHED By Jealous Sister In Shocking TV Special!

While we don't know Meghan Markle's exact due date, sources concur that the Duchess of Sussex is set to become a mother sometime in April.

Not surprisingly, millions are caught up in the anticipation, and the media is eager to cash in on the hype.

Meghan Markle: Bumpin!

And that, folks, is how we wound up with the abomination that is Meghan & Harry: A Royal Baby Story, which aired on TLC earlier this week.

Now, you might think the network that gave us the Duggars and Kate Gosselin would have sky-high standards in terms of journalistic integrity.

But sadly, you would be wrong.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Hand in Hand

(In case it's not abundantly clear that we're being sarcastic, TLC is a trash pile of a network, even by the standards of the vast wasteland that is reality-centered basic cable in 2019.)

You almost have to admire the shamelessness of the producers who assembled a bunch of talking heads with no real ties to Meghan and put them in front of a camera to blather on about #BabySussex.

Unfortunately, one of those talking heads was Samantha Markle, so this whole foolhardy venture was doomed from the start.

Samantha Markle on TV

Samantha, as you probably know by now, is the wicked half-sister who has admittedly devoted her life to destroying Meghan in the baffling that hope that doing so will put her on a path to fortune and fame.

Thus far, her brilliant scheme has yet to pan out, but that's not stopping the failed actress from publicly trashing her estranged sibling every chance she gets. 

"I believe that there is a jealous streak in Meg," Samantha told TLC cameras when asked about the alleged rivalry between Meghan and Kate Middleton.

"She does like to be the center of attention. I feel like that's a part of what is happening now."

Yes, the special was supposed to focus on the forthcoming royal baby, but leave it to Scammy Sammy to steer the conversation toward Meghan's "jealous streak."

From there, Samantha held court on the subject of Meghan's maternity wardrobe, and -- surprise, surprise -- it seems she's not a fan.

"I would spend less. I think a lot of people would," Sam said. So that has been a bit controversial."

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Abroad

Breaking: People who have less money tend to spend less money on clothing. Film at 11.

Speaking of luxuries everyone would like but few can afford, Sam believes that Meghan will employ the services of a nanny. Quelle horreur!

"I think Meg will definitely get a nanny," Sam stated.

"I'm pretty sure that her threshold for stress could be quite low in the beginning," she continued.

Meghan Markle Happy

"How many rooms in Frogmore? I can see them all being filled with nannies."

As though she's actually had any contact with her sister in the past decade and has any idea what her personality is like, Samantha added:

"Meghan is very strong-minded, and there will definitely be a butting of heads, but Meghan could learn and grow from that. So if the nanny is strong enough, then she won't be left in tears."

Meghan Markle Hat

That might be a valuable insight, were it not for the fact that literally every royal uses a nanny, and the whole freakin' world knows Meghan will follow suit.

As for the comment about every room at Frogmore Cottage being filled with nannies -- that's just the kind of absurdity that occurs when one has nothing better to do all day than guzzle Haterade.

And as always, Sam felt the need to comment on Meghan's relationship with her father, who has conducted himself abhorrently ever since his daughter entered the global spotlight.

Sam Markle

"I certainly think it's unfair to overshadow how integral dad [Thomas Markle] was in [Meghan's] life," Samantha said before accusing Meghan of abandoning her family.

"It's not that we were never there. We've gone to your dance recitals, holidays, Thanksgivings… Now all of a sudden we don’t exist.

"You can't hurt people like this and then turn around and flip the script and play victim."

Playing the victim -- now there's something Samantha actually knows about.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on a Walk

The elder Markle concluded her portion of TLC's sh-tshow with a shameless plea for sympathy, during which she implored Meghan to please think of the children.

"It's important that children have a bigger sense of their family and where they could from," Samantha blathered.

"I would like to think that this child would have access to the best parts of grandad…and get to know that side of the Markles."

It's a richly ironic comment coming from the woman whose stated goal in life is to destroy a member of her family. 

Abby Lee Miller Screams "Your Kid Sucks!" in New Dance Moms Trailer

Even though Abby Lee Miller may be putting her health at risk to do it, she has returned to Dance Moms for Season 8.

And as the new trailer makes very clear, she is back. The new season looks as dramatic and toxic as ever.

Longtime viewers will be reassured that nothing has changed once they hear Miller scream that a child dancer "sucks."

Abby lee miller holds a heart on dance moms trailer

The trailer for Season 8 begins with an intense start.

"As a dancer, you put your heart out there every day," Miller warns the gathered group of children.

For dramatic effect, she is holding a life sized model of a human heart in her hands.

Miller warns: "Somebody is going to stab it."

To drive home the message, she mimes driving an imaginary knife through the heart.

Abby lee miller stabs a heart

For a year, now, Abby Lee Miller has been fighting Burkitt lymphoma, a type of cancer that has impaired her mobility and threatens to paralyze her.

Despite grueling treatments of chemo and radiation therapy, she has returned to television.

"I fought hard to be here," Miller emphasizes on the Season 8 trailer.

She uses her story to convey a powerful message to the hopeful dancers.

She affirms: "You have to FIGHT to be a champion!"

Abby lee miller fought hard to be here

Of course, the controversial Dance Moms stars is infamous for her toxic attitude and particularly for the way that she treats children.

"Stop crying! Stop it!" she yells cruelly at one moment during the trailer.

Obviously, no one should ever speak to a child -- or an adult, for that matter -- with those words or in that hostile tone.

At another point, Miller insists: "You don't know what you're doing!"

"Your kid doesn't have a chance," she taunts a parent in another scene. "She sucks!"

Miller also delivers some important messages about kindness and teamwork.

"Jealously has poisoned this team." Miller laments in another moment.

Speaking of a young male dancer, she says: "How dare any of you run this kid off the team!"

We agree! Kids shouldn't be antagonizing a young dancer until he drops out.

That's Miller's job.

Abby lee miller lectures on dance moms season 8 trailer

"It's not about you!" Miller yells in another part of the trailer.

"It's about the dancing," Miller explains. "It's about the team."

"This is my livelihood,” she says. 

“It’s fine to do whatever I want to do," Miller announces. "And I will do whatever I want to do."

She then issues a warning: "Watch out!"

Abby lee miller on the dance moms season 8 trailer

We of course wish Abby Lee Miller the best in winning her cancer battle.

That does not mean that it's endearing to see her bullying children to the point of tears. Nothing makes that okay.

Of course, the trailer also reminded everyone of the true villains of Dance Moms: the actual dance moms themselves.

They're the ones who signed their children up for the show in the first place. They know who Miller is.

After a while, you stop getting mad at the child-eating alligator and start getting mad at the parents who keep tossing their kids in the gator's lake.

Sad news out of the world of country music today, as multiple sources have confirmed that beloved artist Earl Thomas Conley has passed away.

He was 77 years old.

Best known for such 1980s hits as “Holding Her and Loving You,” “What I’d Say” and “Once In a Blue Moon,” Conley reportedly died in Nashville on Wednesday morning.

The singer's passing was announced by his longtime friend and frequent collaborator, Blake Shelton.

“My heart is absolutely destroyed today," Shelton wrote on his social media accounts.

“Earl was my all time favorite singer, hero and my friend. Prayers to his family," Shelton continued.

"We will all miss you deeply my brother. Now go rest…”

Conley had been in hospice care for several months and had been suffering from a degenerative condition described as being "similar to dementia" for several years.

Speaking with The Tennessean, Earl's brother, Fred Conley, stated that the singer's death had been a slow and heartbreaking process.

“He just kept losing ground,” Fred stated. “I’m brokenhearted.”

Earl's 22-year-old daughter Erinn Scates, who is also a musician, sang her father's praises to the newspaper:

“He was a great dad, and he filled our lives with color,” she said.

“So sad to hear #EarlThomasConley passed away today,” wrote John Rich of Big & Rich.

The sentiment was echoed by Jason Aldean, who tweeted:

“RIP ‘ETC’… Man what a voice this guy had. Spent many nights listening and playing his songs. Country Music lost a great one today guys. #EarlThomasConley #ETC”

Jenelle Evans doesn't really get along with anybody.

This is for a lot of reasons, but most of them boil down to the fact that she's just not the best person.

And so while most of the other Teen Mom ladies have close friendships with each other, she's made enemies.

Is there any chance of her getting past that?

Could she ever learn to get along with her fellow cast members?

Well, it's not looking great ...

1. Well, Jenelle ...

On a recent episode, Kailyn went into detail about just how close she and Jenelle were back then, saying "I called out of work one year, one day when she was strung out on drugs and I drove to Jersey, picked her up and took her to the airport because she was strung out on f-cking heroin or who the f-ck knows.”

Amy Roloff Accused of "Ruining" Little People, Big World

Little People, Big World star Amy Roloff has clapped back against trolls before, but sometimes the amount of hate is too overwhelming.

She is getting raked over the coals by so-called "fans" who don't like her or her attitude.

Some have even gone so far as to accuse Amy of "ruining the show."

Basically, the resentment that Little People, Big World fans have towards Amy Roloff started with her divorce from Matt.

It wasn't just that the marriage ended and viewers wanted someone to blame.

It was also Amy being very honest about her discomfort with Matt's relationship with Caryn Chandler.

"Caryn is an employee, and is in a personal relationship with my ex-husband," Amy has confessed to fans.

"And so it is still hard to invite Caryn to some of the family events," she admitted.

"I’d rather just minimize the personal interaction," Amy revealed. "It’s not healthy for me."

Amy Roloff is Gorgeous

Something else that has caught the criticism of fans is Amy's various videos about "purging" things from her life.

"It’s hard to let go of some things though," Amy has admitted.

"But in the long run it’s a good thing," she affirmed.

"Isn’t that kind of like life," she asked her fans. "Hanging on to stuff and people when it’s time to let go or the other way around."

Some people immediately latched on to Amy's words, and commented that the only thing Amy needs to "purge" is her resentment.

"Grow up and move on from your jealousy towards Caryn," one commenter insisted. "Matt deserves to be as happy as you are.”

“Dude your bitterness & anger is ruining the show," another commenter accused.

That same comment continued: "You sound so cruel whenever [you] try and paint Matt in a bad light."

"(And I can’t believe [you] were jealous of Caryn holding Jackson," that commenter concluded.

For the record, Amy and Matt both speak fairly frankly about themselves, their feelings, and each other.

It is unclear why some fans have become fixated on the idea that Amy is the villain and only her words qualify as "bad-mouthing."

Amy Roloff Discusses New Year's Resolutions

"Amy, don’t understand your animosity towards Caryn," another fan wrote.

"After all," the commenter said. "You wanted out of the marriage."

Right. That's how divorce works.

The commenter observed: "you come across so sour and bitter."

Folks, Amy is just openly discussing how complicated it is to live in such proximity with your ex and his new girlfriend -- whom you already knew.

To his credit, Matt has made it extremely clear that he doesn't want to see anyone bashing Amy on his timeline.

"I’m generally pretty tolerant on my social media as to what I allow vs when I delete or ban someone,” Matt wrote back in June.

“But my new rule is," he announced. "I’m going to delete people that make unnecessary mean or hateful comments about Amy."

"Or," he added. "Any of my family members."

That defense earned him praise.

"Wish my ex would defend me!" expressed a fan. "Shows what character you have!"

I'm 54 Now!

If someone has decided to dislike someone -- whether it's a reality star, a coworker, or a classmate -- they can nitpick at anything that they like to "justify" it.

They'll always find something to explain that they're not holding this person to a double standard.

The sad thing for us is that there's no hope in changing their minds.

The sad thing for them is that they miss out on enjoying all that another human being has to offer.

People who wrote off Amy Roloff because she sells bread or has a boyfriend or whatever ... they're missing out.

It's their loss. They just need to keep their hate off of social media.

Meghan Markle & Prince Harry: Cutting Ties With William Amidst Affair Scandal?

Tensions are running high across the pond these days, as the royal family continues to grapple with an increasingly messy scandal, the consequences of which might be felt for years to come.

It all started with reports of a feud between Kate Middleton and Rose Hanbury, the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, who had previously been one of Kate's closest confidantes.

Kate Middleton Prince William Cridge Center Canada 2016

This led to reports that the falling out was prompted by an affair between Rose and Prince William.

In the days since reports of the scandal went public, the royals have been in damage control mode.

At least one British publication has already received a cease and desist letter from William's lawyers, and the mad dash to bury this story has led many to the conclusion that it must have some basis in fact.

Kate With Will

Obviously, the situation carries potentially devastating implications for William and Kate's marriage.

But it might also have even further-reaching consequences.

All of this is taking place as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle prepare to welcome their first child.

Prince Harry and Prince William with Duchesses

Reports of a rift between the two royal couples have been circulating for months, and now it's believed that the tension is a result of William's affair.

The theory goes that William advised Harry against marrying Meghan, and when Harry learned that his brother had been cheating on his then-pregnant wife with her best friend, the hypocrisy was too much for him to bear.

Making matters worse, the scandal reportedly dredged up uncomfortable memories of the Prince Charles' infidelities during his marriage to Princess Diana -- transgressions for which the brothers have never fully forgiven their father.

Prince William and Dueling Duchesses

What was initially believed to be a feud between Kate and Meghan is now thought by many to be a rift between William and Harry.

According to a new report from People magazine, the situation has become so dire that the princes are now living separate lives. 

"It was only going to work until they married -- and it went on a while longer than perhaps was originally thought," a source says of the brothers' previously unshakeable bond.

Prince Harry and Prince William in Suits

"It's a shame," says another insider.

"There was power in that unity and great strength in the foursome, but I see why it is happening.

"There is always that tension: trying to do the PR thing and then realizing that they are just real people. They want their own place and their own things."

2 Princes

Harry and Meghan have already broken up the "court" they previously shared with Will and Kate at Kensington Palace and created a separate office of their own.

They've also relocated to Frogmore Cottage, roughly 25 miles from the home they previously shared with Will and Kate.

But the source says that despite their current difficulties, Will and Harry will always be there for one another.

Kate Middleton and 2 Princes

“There is never any doubt that they will be there for each other 100 percent and support each other when it matters,” the insider claims.

And while much will depend on the outcome of Will's current scandal, the informant says there remains the possibility that the brothers will one day mend their relationship.

“Maybe they’ll come back together a little later,” says the source.

“It’s another stage in the growing up. Sometimes you have to break away in order to come back.”

Scheana Marie: Lindsay Lohan Sucks and Her Show Is Boring!

When Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club premiered on MTV back in January, the show drew instant comparisons to Vanderpump Rules.

This was no accident, of course, as the press releases that led up to the show's debut encouraged media outlets to make these comparisons between the two series.

Lindsay as a Boss

Superficially, Beach Club and Rules do have a lot in common, as both concern the drunken misadventures of a crew of horny hospitality workers -- but that's where the similarities end.

The main thing separating the two shows is the fact that Vanderpump is a strong contender for the best non-scripted series on TV, while Beach Club has been described by some of the nation's most esteemed critics (us) as "the kind of trainwreck it's easy to look away from."

Beach Club's ratings started out low and declined throughout the season, so it remains to be seen if the show will return for a second season.

LiLo at the Beach

(Smart money says we've seen the last of Lindsay's sand-and-syphilis crew.)

But Lindsay remains a subject of public fascination, so the Vanderpump cast are still asked for their thoughts on her failed experiment during interviews.

The latest to be hit with the LiLo line of questioning is Scheana Marie, who did not mince words when Page Six asked her about Beach Club at a recent club opening.

“My friend Kailah [Casillas] was on it and I watched her episodes, but other than that, it’s boring,” Scheana told the outlet "with a distinct eye-roll."

Scheana

“It’s never going to be Vanderpump Rules because it was cast — our show is so good because it’s organic; we’re real friends. We’ve all known each other for a decade plus.”

Asked if the other VPR cast members share her opinion that Beach Club is just a lame knock-off, Scheana replied, “Everyone.”

Hilariously, cast members on Lindsay's show also roll their eyes at the comparison -- because they think Beach Club is the vastly superior series.

Scheana Shay on a Boat

"They should be so lucky!” clubber Billy Estevez told Page Six.

“They work at a little, cheap restaurant in West Hollywood,” Beach Club's resident douche villain Brent Marks chimed in.

“Well, I mean it’s kind of expensive though, but I mean we work in Mykonos on an exotic island.”

Vanderpump Rules Ladies

Hilariously, this is not the first time that Lindsay has gotten caught up in Vanderpump-related drama.

For years, Jax Taylor has been saying he slept with Lohan, a claim the former actress vehemently denies.

Was launching a rip-off and firing Scheana's friend all part of Lindsay's revenge strategy?

If so, it might go down in history as the most petty and needlessly-elaborate revenge in modern history.

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar have some exciting news to share.

Even more exciting than the couple finally signing on to Instagram.

And that news is this...

Joseph Duggar and Kendra Duggar Announcement

... the famous couple is expecting another child!!!!!!!

The twosome confirmed this blessed development in an interview with Us Weekly, telling the tabloid in crazy excitement:

“We are ready to double the fun at our house!

"Being parents has already proven to be a greater joy than we had hoped or imagined.

"We love getting to parent together and are loving every moment and milestone.

"We are very happy that our little family will welcome a new addition later this year. Children really are a blessing from God!"

Kendra and Joe learned this first hand about 10 months ago when they welcomed their first kid, a son named Garrett.

Garrett Duggar Photo

No word yet on exactly when Kendra is due or whether she will find out what gender is growing inside her womb, but we'll be sure to let readers know if the information ever comes out.

For the record, Kendra and Joe did learn they were expecting a boy the first time around -- so fans may soon be fortunate enough to find out again in this case.

This is what they said to Us Weekly upon making that gender announcement:

“Wow! We are so happy to learn that our firstborn is a boy!

"Our minds are already racing toward all the future memories to be made with this little guy! Most of all, we are already asking God to bless him and help us grow him into a loving and faithful follower of Christ!"

and baby

Joseph and Kendra got married in 2017.

In a video message on their family's official website, Joe and Kendra were joined by their 10-month-old son, as the father-to-be said the following to his supporters:

I was really excited, she really surprised me good this time. I'm not necessarily the emotional type, but I definitely am super thrilled that we're gonna be having another little one around the house.

Kendra adds in this video that they're looking forward to "just going from one to two and seeing what the adventures hold" as they raise two kids.

Joseph and Kendra Duggar and Son

Just a few weeks ago, astute fans actually suspected that Kendra might be expecting.

For what reason?

Because they noticed that a Pinterest account, appearing to belong to the TLC star, had started pinning baby announcement ideas.

Seriously, right?!? These folks are good!

As is so often the case with this family, Kendra isn't the only Duggar who is pregnant.

Her sister-in-law, Jessa Seewald, is also with child.

The Arkansas native already - who already has son Spurgeon, 3, and Henry, 2 - told Us Weekly in very early 2019:

“We are overjoyed that God has blessed us with a baby, due later this Spring.

Mike Sorrentino is Now Prison Pals with Fyre Festival Scammer

Jersey Shore: Family Vacation stars Paul "DJ Pauly D" DelVecchio and Vinny Guadagnino sat down with noted plague enthusiast Jenny McCarthy.

During the interview, they reveal that Mike Sorrentino's experience in jail has included rubbing elbows with some other famous criminals.

Notably, he's become buddies with the scammer responsible for the Fyre Festival catastrophe.

Pauly d and vinny interviewed by jenny mccarthy april 2019 01

"Has he mentioned anything that's bad about it?" Jenny McCarthy asks of Mike Sorrentino's time behind bars.

"No," Vinny answers. "But he is in there with the guy from the Fyre Festival."

"Yep," Pauly confirms.

"And," Vinny adds. "He's in there with the guy that leaked Jennifer Lawrence's nudes."

He clarifies: "Like, that hacked her phone."

Pauly d and vinny interviewed by jenny mccarthy april 2019 02

"They play Scrabble together," Pauly adds.

This makes things a little awkward, as Jenny notes that this same scumbag "hacked my phone too!"

"You want [Sorrentino] to tell him anything?" Pauly asks.

Jenny certainly does.

Notorious Fyre Festival scammer Billy McFarland may be extremely famous, but clearly, the phone hacker is personal for Jenny.

Pauly d and vinny interviewed by jenny mccarthy april 2019 03

"I have a whole list of questions for everybody," Jenny expresses.

But her interest zeroes in on the new friendship with McFarland.

And Jenny even has some advice for the imprisoned reality star.

"Tell Mike he’s got to get as much information on the Fyre Festival," Jenny insists.

She says that, with enough juicy intel: "He can write two books."

Pauly d and vinny interviewed by jenny mccarthy april 2019 04

The boys agree.

"Imagine what he's learning in there," Vinny remarks.

Pauly then jokes: "He's learning how to hack phones!"

He is, of course, joking. No one should ever illegally access private photos on another's phone.

But prisons are notorious for too often functioning as places where criminals refine their craft rather than reform.

Pauly d and vinny interviewed by jenny mccarthy april 2019 05

Billy McFarland's Fyre Festival was a fascinating catastrophe.

It was the subject of two eye-opening documentaries.

Netflix's documentary was controversial and arguably funnier.

Hulu's doc was a deeper dive into the Fyre Festival and is widely regarded as having been more rigorous.

Honestly? Both are good, in part because the disastrous festival is so fascinating.

And because most of the victims are rich people who signed up for a rich-people-only festival, a lot of people don't feel bad about how things went down.

Pauly d and vinny interviewed by jenny mccarthy april 2019 06

We almost never say this, but ... Jenny McCarthy is right.

(About this particular issue ... and almost only about this particular issue)

Mike could absolutely write a book about his time in prison, and he has a massive fanbase who would be excited to read it.

(He could of course hire a ghostwriter or even co-author it if he's not confident in his ability to physically write a book; it's not for everyone)

Of course, if he writes it about McFarland, there could be some fallout.

How much does he value this newfound friendship? Is it enough to turn down an opportunity to sell a bestselling tell-all book?

Mike the situation sorrentino picture

Hopefully, the only thing that Mike is "learning in there" is a hard lesson that white collar crimes are still, you know, crimes.

Vinny and Pauly were joking about him picking up new illegal skills.

It's good to hear that Mike isn't miserable over his prison sentence, but he can't genuinely be having fun.

Once he's out, he'll be happy to never again find himself in this ... situation.

Wendy Williams Files to Divorce Awful Husband

It is finally, thankfully, mercifully all over for Wendy Williams and Kevin Hunter.

The talk show host has filed for divorce from her husband of 22 years, many years after rumors of his infidelity first surfaced and about two weeks after his mistress allegedly gave birth to his baby.

hunt, wen

As celebrity gossip followers likely know well, it's been quite a past month or so for Williams.

In mid-March, the star opened up to her viewing audience, explaining that she has been residing in a sober living facility because she suffered a relapse of some kind.

(Williams did not specify at the time just what sort of substance she had used that prompted this decision.

She did acknowledge, however, past use of cocaine and she was also reportedly hospitalized for drinking on the day Hunter's mistress, Sharina Hudson, welcomed her child.)

Multiple outlets have written about how Hunter's ongoing affair has played a role in Wendy's deterioting state, prompting her to hit the bottle or take drugs once again.

A few hours prior to this divorce news was broken by Page Six, Williams hosted her program without her wedding ring on.

Her makeup artist also shared a video - from which we grabbed the following image - that featured Williams flaunting her newly-bare digit:

noo ring wendy

Previously on air, Williams had broadly addressed all the chatter about Hunter having had an affair.

It was notable at the time that Wendy didn't really deny this rumor; she simply said she was standing by her man no matter what.

"I want to shout out to my husband. I'm still wearing my ring," Williams said in this segment from earlier in the year on The Wendy Williams Show.

She added back then:

"Believe me you, when you've been with somebody for 28 years...married for 25 years...we know each other. He's my best friend, he's my lover, he's all this and he's all that.

"I know what you've been seeing and I know what the streets have been talking about."

Wendy Williams with a Tear

Hunter is actually also an executive producer on The Wendy Williams Show, which is the reason (according to some) why Williams had been so hesitant to pull the plug on her marriage ... despite Hunter's rather public infidelity.

She was afraid of how the split might affect her on a professional level.

But Wendy eventually had no choice, given the emotional toll Hunter's cheating has been taking on her, along with all the negative headlines about her relationship over the past several weeks.

"Anybody who's been married for 5 minutes or 500 years, you know marriages have ebbs and flows," Williams also said in the past, adding:

"Marriages are not easy. Don't ask me about mine until you see this [ring] gone and it ain't going anywhere - not in this lifetime."

Alas, it is now gone.

Wendy Williams is Back!

There has been a lot of divorce talk going around the Internet prior to Williams finally going through with her filing.

Not even a $40,000 bribe by Hunter was able to change his scorned wife's mind.

It also doesn't help that Hunter cheated on Williams back in 2001 as well, something the talk show host touched on in her memoir.

“No woman deserves this,” she wrote. “I wanted to kill him. I mean really kill him. For real. I wanted to kill him more because I was in the process of breaking my Number One Rule: No Cheating.”

We've never been huge fans of Williams as an on-air personality -- but we applaud her for this divorce decision.

Good riddance, Kein Hunter.

Jinger Duggar Defies Parents, Announces Support For Trans Community

$

For years now, Jinger Duggar's reputation as her family's resident rebel has been well-established.

But up to this point, the 25-year-old's acts of defiance have been largely symbolic in nature.

Jinger Duggar Post-Baby Body Photo

Jinger was the first of her sisters to wear pants in public, for example, defying her family's long-standing tradition (some would say "dress code") which held that women should wear floor-length skirts at all times.

In recent months, however, Jinger has taken her rebellion to a new level.

In fact, her apparent rejection of her parents' tightly-held belief system has led to rumors of Jinger being disowned by Jim Bob and Michelle.

Jinger and Jeremy and Daughter

The shift from mild rebellion to full-blown revolt began when Jinger announced she'll be moving to Los Angeles so that her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, can attend divinity school.

One would think that the idea of their daughter being married to a pastor would be deeply appealing to the ultra-pious Duggars.

But Jeremy's beliefs differ from those of his in-laws in several important ways, and insiders say Jim Bob and Michelle are appalled at the idea of their daughter taking up residence in a bastion of liberalism like LA.

Jinger, Jeremy and Felicity Vuolo

And it seems that Jinger's ties to the Vuolo family are about to cause her parents even greater distress.

You see, the Vuolos are a deeply religious lot, but they're not nearly as conservative in their worldview.

In fact, Jeremy's brother, Charles Vuolo, makes slightly-left-of-center Jeremy look like freakin' Pat Robertson.

Chuck Vuolo

Charles is a Boston-based film director and producer.

According to the always-reliable anti-Duggar Facebook account Life Is Not All Pickles and Hairspray, his latest project is a short film entitled Lupe, which tells the tale of "an immigrant struggling with their transgender identity."

Anyone who recalls Derick Dillard's bullying of transgender teen Jazz Jennings will know that the Duggars consider transgender to be mentally ill abominations and affronts against God.

Jinger Duggar and Felicity Vuolo, Twinning

It's safe to say Jinger doesn't share that belief, however, as she recently posted a highly favorable comment to an Instagram post about Charles' film.

“Wow. So amazing, bro,” Jinger allegedly wrote on a private post describing the project.

Jinger may not be shouting her support for the trans community from the rooftops, but many believe it's clear she does not share her family's bigoted belief system.

It's just one of many ways in which Jinger has become a needed breath of fresh air amidst the stagnancy of the Duggar clan.

Pamela Anderson: Julian Assange Was Arrested and It's Trump's Fault!!

$

Controversial WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was finally arrested early Thursday morning.

Pamela Anderson, once rumored to be dating Assange, took to Twitter to express her shock and outrage.

She's blasting a number of countries over this arrest, and she's also pointing the finger at ... Donald J. Trump.

Early Thursday morning, Julian Assange was removed from the Ecuadorian embassy and arrested in London.

His removal was caught on a video. He has clearly seen better days.

It's a complicated topic, because many feel that the specific charges on which Assange has been arrested stem from heroic deeds.

After all, he worked with noted activist Chelsea Manning.

Chelsea spent years of her life suffering without dignity in prison after she leaked evidence of two incidents of the slaughter of civilians overseas.

But even those who consider that a worthy sacrifice have other issues with Assange.

Among them, the accusations of rape and the role that WikiLeaks has taken as an intelligence and propaganda arm of the Russian government.

It may be that, at one point, Assange was an idealist who wanted to expose government misconduct or simply secrets in general.

Now, many believe that he has lost his way, and that his arrest was overdue.

Pamela Anderson shared a video of Assange's arrest and made it clear that she feels that this was an injustice.

"I am in shock," Pamela tweeted. "I couldn’t hear clearly what he said?"

"He looks very bad," she correctly observed.

She demanded to know: "How could you Equador ?"

Pamela then answered her own question with a claim: "(Because he exposed you)."

Pamela also wondered openly about how the UK could arrest the man whom she regards as both a friend and a hero.

"How could you UK?" Pamela asked.

"Of course," she replied. "You are America’s b--ch."

We suspect that the folks on Downing Street would object to her characterization.

"And," Pamela theorized. "You need a diversion from your idiotic Brexit bulls--t."

Her outrage about the arrest may be misplaced, but on that topic, Pamela is right on the money.

Pamela wasn't done with her list of countries on her s--t list, however.

"And the USA?" Pamela tweeted.

"This toxic coward of a President," she exclaimed. "He needs to rally his base?"

Notably, that seems like an unlikely motive, and it also seems unlikely that Trump was directly involved in orchestrating this.

Seemingly addressing the orange in chief, Pamela accused: "You are selfish and cruel."

That's true, but not super relevant to this context.

"You have taken the entire world backwards," she correctly asserted about Trump and his regime.

Continuing to state facts, she wrote: "You are devils and liars and thieves."

"And," Pamela concluded. "You will ROTT And WE WILL RISE."

That tangent about 

In the final months of the 2016 election, Donald Trump referred to WikiLeaks 164 times.

Unlike when he mentions people of color, immigrants, or various famous women, he was not bringing up the organization to stoke anger and hate.

Instead, he brought up WikiLeaks in reference to illegally accessed information about Hillary Clinton's private correspondence.

WikiLeaks behaved as a friend towards the Trump campaign -- which is no surprise, given that it has for years functioned at the behest of Russia.

It is unclear what role Assange may have continued to play during his years-long asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy.

Pamela Anderson, pictured here with her two unnecessarily handsome adult sons, has considered Assange a friend.

She has traveled to meet him during his self-imposed seclusion within the embassy.

There were even rumors that she and Assange were dating.

Her sympathy may be misplaced, but we have to stress that she's not the only celebrity who has mistaken Assange for a freedom fighter.

Prince Harry: Pissed at Prince William For Trash-Talking Meghan Markle?

There's a strange phenomenon involving the royal family in which we'll go months or even years without any sure sign of a scandal, and then suddenly, the floodgates will open, and it's like Jerry Springer is producing a soap opera set in Buckingham Palace.

Thankfully, friends, we're currently in the latter period, and it's one of those glorious weeks in which it feels like every scroll of your newsfeed reveals some new drama testing the stiff upper lips of the world's poshest family.

Prince Harry and Prince William with Duchesses

Most of the focus has been on Prince William's alleged affair with Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley and former close friend of Kate Middleton's.

There are numerous interesting facets to this story, including the fact that Kate has apparently gone medieval on Rose, banishing her from the Norfolk, England social scene that had previously been an important part of the marchioness' life.

But what we'd like to focus on here is the ongoing feud between Prince William and Prince Harry, and the role that Will's alleged infidelities may have played in their falling out.

Prince Harry and Prince William in Suits

Remember that Kate Middleton vs. Meghan Markle rivalry you've been hearing so much about over the past year?

Yeah, it's looking more and more like that was really a William vs. Harry beef that the media mistook for a catfight between the duchesses.

Though to be fair, it looks as though Meghan played a crucial role in pitting the brothers against each other.

Prince William and Dueling Duchesses

According to a new report from People magazine, in the run-up to her wedding, Meghan was understandably stressed by the daily pressures of royal life.

And for some reason, William chose this inopportune time to attempt to dissuade Harry from marrying the former actress, arguing that she would be ill-suited for a role in the Windsor clan.

“Harry is very protective and quite rightly so,” a source close to the situation tells People.

Prince Harry and Prince William, Royal Brothers

“The royal household can be like that. It must be a real culture shock for her.”

Insiders say the relationship between the brothers had been strained since Harry started dating Meghan, and William's criticism caused Harry to pull away even further.

We're still seeing that process in action, and it seems to have picked up steam in recent weeks, with Harry and Meghan relocating to Frogmore Cottage and establishing an office separate from Will and Kate's.

2 Princes

So what does all of this have to do with William's (alleged) affair with Rose Hanbury?

Well, it seems news of the dalliance was the final straw for old Harry.

Finding out that the guy criticizing his relationship was sleeping with the best friend of his then-pregnant wife didn't sit well with Harry, and that's supposedly when the decision to move homes and offices was made.

Kate Middleton and 2 Princes

One insider says there's reason to be hopeful that the brothers will patch up their differences, but any reconciliation would likely be a long way off.

"They are at very different situations in their lives,” says the source.

And it looks as though the Shakespearean intrigue surrounding Will's relationship with Rose Hanbury might just be getting started.

Ben Affleck & Lindsay Shookus: It's Over! Again!

Folks, it's our regrettable duty to inform you that love is well and truly dead.

The concept of mutual romantic affection had a good run of about 200,000 years or so, but it left this mortal coil at exactly 2:54 on Thursday afternoon.

Ben Affleck, Lindsay Shookus

That's when People magazine reported that Ben Affleck and Lindsay Shookus have broken up. Again.

Yes, it's only been two months since Ben and Lindsay got back together, but it seems their love was simply too pure for this world.

Either that or Ben started banging a 20-something Playboy model again.

Tough to say, as details are pretty scarce at the moment.

Ben and Shookus

An insider says it was mostly distance that drove the lovebirds apart, which seems like BS, since Ben has unlimited resources for travel, and these two had already been doing the bicoastal thing for almost two years.

“She has a kid and an ex-husband and a job in New York and Ben has his family and a job in L.A. and while they love and respect each other they just realized it wasn’t going to work,” a source tells People.

“They really gave it another solid try.”

The Affleck

We're sure being separated by a few thousand miles wasn't easy, but in all likelihood, it was a combination of factors that led Ben and Lindsay to call it quits.

Affleck checked into rehab for the third time back in August, and he may have wisely decided that his focus needs to be on his family and his sobriety at this time.

Then there's Lindsay's demanding work as an SNL producer.

Affleck and Shookus

After all, it can't be easy, week after week, to position Alec Baldwin's Trump wig or ensure that Pete Davidson's garish outfits won't cause any seizures in Des Moines.

And then there's the issue of upbringing.

Ben's from Boston, and Lindsay as from Buffalo.

Can any relationship endure such a heated -- albeit one-sided -- AFC East rivalry for very long? We think not.

Ben Affleck Looks Pissed

Anyway, we've poked occasional fun at Ben and Lindsay's relationship, but that's mainly just because SNL producer and retired Batman are hilarious job titles to us.

At the end of the day, they both seem like decent folk, and we wish them both all the best going forward.

Although, Ben, your football team can go ahead and start sucking any day now.

This sh-t is getting ridiculous.
