Game of Thrones Season 8 Premiere SHATTERS Ratings Records!

After a wait that felt as long as winter north of the Wall,Game of Thrones returned for its final season on Sunday night.

And if you spent the evening cringing when Jon made out with his aunt, or cheering when Bran stared daggers into Jaime's soul, you certainly had plenty of company.

The numbers for the premiere of Game of Thrones Season 8 are in -- and they are staggering.

Across all platforms (HBO, HBO GO and HBO NOW), a whopping 17.4 million people tuned in on Sunday night.

And that number is certain to grow as more viewers return to Winterfell in the days to come.

It's officially GoT's biggest episode to date, edging out the Season 7 finale, which drew in a then-unbelievable 16.9 million viewers.

What may be even more surprising than the multi-platform numbers is the fact that more than 11 million people watched the premiere the old-fashioned way -- by sitting down in front of the TV and turning on HBO.

That's the sort of event viewing that rarely happens anymore -- and it's what every network exec prays to the Seven Gods for.

It's also just one of many ways in which Thrones is a throwback juggernaut in the ratings department.

These days, even popular shows tend to limp along and lose viewers as they reach the seven or eight season mark. But not Game of Thrones.

GoT ratings have been climbing steadily since the very start, beginning with a comparatively paltry 9.3 million in Season 1 and swelling to a whopping 32.8 million for Season 7.

(Those figures incorporate delayed viewing, on-demand, and streaming figures.)

For comparison, huge network hits like This Is Us and The Big Bang Theory very rarely crack 20 million live viewers -- and GoT is putting up similar numbers on a subscription service.

In terms of the response from viewers, the premiere was met with overwhelming acclaim.

Though there were a few holdouts who seemed to expect more after such a lengthy absence (The Game of Thrones Season 7 finale aired way back in August of 2017.), and felt that the installment had the feeling of a "place-setting" episode that was more concerned with setting the stage for things to come than with delivering an explosive hour of television.

And to that we say, [SPOILER ALERT] only Game of Thrones could deliver dragons, zombies, revelations of incest, characters reuniting after seven seasons, and other major characters crossing paths for the very first time -- and still have viewers demanding more.

Oh, how we'll miss it when it's gone.

Kim Kardashian Claps Back at Trolls: Suck It! I'm a Lawyer!

As you've probably heard by now, Kim Kardashian wants to become a lawyer.

And believe it or not, it seems she's already well on her way to doing exactly that.

Kim is taking a non-traditional path to her new career -- interning with a law firm rather than pursuing a degree.

Partially for that reason, she's taken flak from critics who seem to believe this is some sort of publicity stunt.

Earlier this week, however, Kim took to Instagram to set the record straight.

Alongside the photo above, she posted a lengthy message reminding fans and haters alike that she's taking a perfectly legit path toward licensure -- and she's busting her ass every step of the way:

“Last year I registered with the California State Bar to study law,” Kim wrote.

“For the next 4 years, a minimum of 18 hours a week is required, I will take written and multiple choice tests monthly.”

She went on to detail just how far she's come in the process, as well as what comes next in her long legal journey:

"As my first year is almost coming to an end I am preparing for the baby bar, a mini version of the bar, which is required when studying law this way," she continued.

"I’ve seen some comments from people who are saying it’s my privilege or my money that got me here, but that’s not the case."

From there, Kim detailed an encounter with a troll -- and offered some inspiration to others who may be considering a career change:

"One person actually said I should 'stay in my lane,'" Kim wrote.

"I want people to understand that there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams, and the accomplishment of new goals. You can create your own lanes, just as I am.

"The state bar doesn’t care who you are."

Kim went on to explain that while she did not finish college, she did meet the necessary credit requirement to "read the law" in California.

(The state requires 60 credits; Kim obtained 75.)

Kim then made a very strong case for how serious she truly is about this process:

"For anyone assuming this is the easy way out, it’s not. My weekends are spent away from my kids while I read and study," she wrote.

"I work all day, put my kids to bed and spend my nights studying. There are times I feel overwhelmed and when I feel like I can’t do it but I get the pep talks I need from the people around me supporting me.

"I changed my number last year and disconnected from everyone because I have made this strict commitment to follow a dream of mine - It’s never too late to follow your dreams."

From there, Kim thanked her mentors, including CNN personality Van Jones.

"This week I have a big torts essay due on negligence. Wish me luck," she concluded.

On behalf of all those who love a good underdog story and enjoy watching haters eat their words, we wish Kim all the luck in the world.

Elin Nordegren: What's Tiger Woods' Ex Up to These Days?!

He's back! 

Golf fans were roaring on Sunday in Augusta, Ga., as Tiger Woods took home his fifth green jacket after winning his first Masters championship since 2005. 

The 83rd Masters was a signature win and the crowning moment for one of the most remarkable sports comebacks. 

Surgery after surgery, mistress after mistress (shout out to Rachel Uchitel), the Thanksgiving car crash, the DUI ... he somehow was able to climb out of it all and prove to the world the Tiger Woods we once adored is back. 

And while this year's victory was indeed different from his last - when the now-43-year-old celebrated by sailing the Cayman Islands with his then-wife - fans are beginning to wonder how Elin Nordegren is doing these days.

So, let's take a look into the life of the former Swedish model, shall we? 

Tiger and Elin met in 2001 through golfer Jesper Parnevik and his wife Mia, whom Elin nannied for after she moved to the United States, according to Pop Culture

In 2004 the couple tied the knot in Barbados and purchased their $39-million estate in Jupiter Island, Florida and constructed another 10,000-square-foot home - which is where Woods ultimately moved in 2010 following their divorce. 

They welcomed daughter Sam Alexis Woods in 2007 and son Charlie Axel Woods in 2009. 

Following the extensive infidelity reports, Woods and Nordegren separated in August of 2010; it is said that she received more than $100 million in the divorce settlement. 

She also successfully avoided the spotlight for years until 2014 when she finally opened up to People about how she was undergoing "intensive therapy" and that she checked in with her therapist every week. 

Nordegren and Woods reportedly remain friendly for the sake of their kids. 

"In the beginning, you tamp down the animosity for the kids' sake," Elin told the magazine. 

"I'm not going to deny that I went through the wringer. But I don't think I doubted we'd end up here."

"That was always my dream," she continued. "That the kids can have two loving parents that show respect for each other."

"And I feel that's what they have."

The Daily Mail reports that Nordegren used part of her alimony to purchase a $12 million mansion in North Palm Beach, Florida. 

She reportedly donated original fixtures from the estate to Habitat for Humanity before tearing down the property to make room for her nine-bedroom beachside home. 

And while she seems to be living a beautiful and luxurious life, the particularly private Nordegren made multiple headlines (once again) over her poor driving skills. 

She did, however, agree to go to driving school after getting laughed at for her many speeding tickets. 

In 2014 though she showed them!

Elin graduated from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida where she attended night classes and received the Outstanding Senior Award in psychology. 

According to the Orlando Sentinel, she earned a 3.96 GPA. 

"I want to continue to study and learn, but I am not exactly sure how yet," she told the newspaper in 2014. 

"My passion has always been psychology, but my interests continue to broaden."

She noted that she wasn't too involved in campus life, as she was always "a little too old for the frat parties."

At her graduation, Tiger's famous ex-wife was asked to speak and she made light jabs at her unfortunate claim to fame. 

"It was right after I had taken [a class in] communications and the media that I was unexpectedly thrust into the media limelight," she said. 

"I probably should have taken more notes in that class!"

Elin eventually moved on from her global humiliation and began dating billionaire and coal tycoon Chris Cline in 2013, but they reportedly split a year later and remained on-again off-again throughout 2015 and 2016. 

Recently, in March 2018, Nordegren decided to part ways with her North Palm Beach home and listed it for $50 million. 

Two months later, she sold her beach condo, which she initially purchased after separating from Woods.

The mother of two has apparently made peace with the cheating scandal and sources claim that she and Tiger remain cordial towards one another.

Woods has referred to his ex-wife as his "best friend" and Nordegren has said that Woods is a great father to their children, according to Yahoo! Sports.

And while Elin was obviously not by Tiger's side for this Masters triumph, we are sure she cheered on the father of her children from a new and secluded multi-million-dollar beach property. 

We are also pretty sure that Tiger is still partying hard thanks to his Major win, just this time with girlfriend Erica Herman.  

And now that Tiger's officially got his game back -- let's just hope he can keep his balls on the golf course this time around. 

Jedidiah Duggar to Fans: You're All Gonna Burn In Hell!!!

Jedidiah Duggar may not have broken one of his family's bonkers rules, but he's causing a huge stir among Duggar fans.

The Duggars went to a folksy theme park, but Jedidiah's idea of a "conversation starter" has fans accusing him of portraying Christians in a bad light.

Why? Because he essentially went around asking everyone who saw him if they were going to hell.

The Duggar family shared a series of photos to Instagram.

"This morning we headed over to Branson," the caption reads. "For a family (and friends!) day at Silver Dollar City!"

Silver Dollar City is a Missouri theme park once featured on The Beverly Hillbillies.

"We love making memories with our kids!" the caption continues. 

"The weather was beautiful," the post reads. "And the lines for the rides were short. A great combo!"

"Jackson even got to do a drawing lesson!" the caption adds. 

The post concludes: "I have a feeling we’ll be carrying at least a few sleeping kids inside when we get home."

But what caught the eyes -- and outrage -- of Duggar fans and followers was the shirt sported by 20-year-old Jedidiah Duggar.

The simple printed tee reads: "If you died tonight would you be in heaven or hell?"

"That message on that T-shirt," marveled one commenter, writing a crying emoji.

"Scaring people into faith/heaven is not loving," that same commenter asserted. "God isn’t about scaring. He is about love"

"Nice comment," praised another in reply. "God is all about love."

Jedidiah Duggar heaven or hell shirt

The comments continued to pour in after people realized that Jedidiah had worn this shirt to a theme park for some reason.

"A relationship with a loving father is what will draw people to God," writes another fan. "Not the threat of hell."

"My thoughts exactly," agrees another follower. "Such a shame."

"It is not for you or anyone to assume the state of a persons relationship with God," asserts a comment. "Or whether they are saved."

But, as you can imagine, not all of those who follow the Duggars saw things this way.

"Hell is a reality," insists a comment. "We can’t ignore it because we don’t like it."

"Its not scary," claims another. "Its getting folks to think."

"The t shirt makes you think about your salvation," suggests one. "If you don't feel conviction, how can you be saved?"

"It's not scary, it's the truth," that same comment continues. "Not talking about it, doesn't make it go away."

That comment even adds: "I am confused as to whether or not you are a Christian"

Another asserts: "only someone who isn’t saved would be offended or upset about the shirt."

But critics of the shirt who were themselves devout Christians explained why the tee was so troubling to them.

"People who don’t know the lord will see that T-shirt," one worries. "And most likely will be put off but it’s message."

"They just see the ‘heaven or hell’ choice," laments another.

That comment continues: "And don’t understand the true nature of God and why they would want to be in a relationship with him. So they reject him."

"I don’t see anything wrong with his shirt," writes a more neutral party. "But I understand what you are saying as well."

Theology is extremely complicated, and even among Christians, the idea of heaven and hell can be controversial and even divisive.

Some Christians do not believe in hell.

Others, such as strict Calvinists, believe that no human has the power to control their soul's fate -- that it's all in God's hands, no matter their deeds in life.

But non-Christians, particularly those who do not come from Christian families, may find the shirt less divisive.

Inappropriate? Sure, especially at a theme park. But if you don't believe in hell, the shirt doesn't really faze you.

So we have to disagree with the comment suggesting that the critics were people who aren't Christians. They just have a different point of view.

Kevin Hunter Admits to Affair, Apologizes to Wendy Williams

Kevin Hunter has broken his silence.

And he's said some rather incredible things in the process.

Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Kevin Hunter sucks

Hunter, of course, has been the husband of talk show host Wendy Williams for the past 22 years.

He's also been at the center of some rather nasty stories and rumors for about the past 22 weeks.

After having been accused of carrying on affair with someone named Sharina Hudson for quite a long time - an allegation Williams herself addressed on multiple occasions in front of her studio audience - Hunter was then accused last month of fathering Hudson's child.

It seemed like a bombshell claim at the time, one maybe too salacious to be true.

But we now know this is one gossip item that has been proven accurate.

And we know this for two reasons:

1. Williams filed for divorce last week.

2. Hunter just admitted it.

On Tuesday afternoon, Hunter issued his first statement since Williams ended her unhealthy marriage.

“28 years ago I met an amazing woman: Wendy Williams. At the time, I didn’t realize that she would not only become my wife, but would also change the face of entertainment and the world,” said Hunter, perhaps laying it on a tad too thick.

He continued:

“I have dedicated most of our lives to the business empire that is Wendy Williams Hunter, a person that I truly love and respect unconditionally.”

It's sort of true: Hunter currently serves as a producer on The Wendy Williams Show.

This is possibly why it took so long for Williams to pull the romantic plug; she was afraid of how such a change in her personal life would affect her professional life.

Added Hunter in his mea culpa, essentially admitting to his Hudson affair and even the brand new baby:

I am not proud of my recent actions and take full accountability and apologize to my wife, my family and her amazing fans. I am going through a time of self-reflection and am trying to right some wrongs.

No matter what the outcome is or what the future holds, we are still The Hunter Family and I will continue to work with and fully support my wife in this business and through any and all obstacles she may face living her new life of sobriety, while I also work on mine.

I ask that you please give me and my family privacy as we heal. Thank you.

Williams and Hunter got married in 1997 and share an 18-year old son who is also named Kevin.

Williams simply cited "irreconcilable differences" in her divorce filing.

And a rep for the star simply said the following shortly afterward:

“Thank you to everyone for respecting the family’s privacy during this time. Kevin is supportive of Wendy, and they are working through this process together.”

Williams, meanwhile, acknowledged the divorce herself on Monday's episode of her talk show.

Although she didn't delve into many specifics, outside of once again referencing her unfortunate recent relapse and general reliance on alcohol/drugs.

“Everybody has things in their life that they’re embarrassed to share with the world, or they’re frightened to share with the world, or they’re not ready to share with the world,” Williams told her viewers yesterday, adding:

"And addressing my sobriety, my addiction head on, has really helped me sort out every single compartment of my life."

As for how Wendy is feeling now that the relationship is over?

“It’s like a weight lifted off everyone’s shoulders,” a source tells Us Weekly, concluding:

“Kevin’s toxicity was dragging everyone down...

"While the future is somewhat unclear, what is clear is that Wendy has a huge support system comprised of her staff, industry colleagues and family.”

Britney Spears: RETIRING From Music Amid Dad's Health Crisis?

These are tough times for the pop icon known to her adoring fans as Godney.

As you may have heard, Britney Spears' father is reported to be on his death bed.

Jamie Spears was forced to undergo emergency surgery after his colon spontaneously ruptured in November of 2018.

Sadly, in the months since, the 66-year-old's health issues have persisted, and insiders say the Spears family has been told to brace themselves for the worst.

The singer is so distraught by the situation that she checked into a mental health facility last month.

Sources say Britney sought help early, and with the help of loved ones and professionals, she's managed to steer clear of another meltdown.

But that doesn't mean she'll be returning to the stage anytime soon.

According to insiders who spoke with Michael Shuter for his Straight Shuter podcast, Britney has decided to step away from music for the foreseeable future -- and at this time, it's unclear if the 37-year-old will ever perform again.

“Britney’s only job is getting help and she has checked into a facility to seek treatment," says one source.

"She will do whatever it takes to get well and if that means walking away from performing, then so be it."

Fortunately, it seems that Britney has yet to experience any blowback from her decision.

“People around her are being very supportive and don’t care about how much money she will be walking away from," says the insider.

"She already has more cash than she can ever spend and now is desperate to find something that money cannot buy, happiness.”

A different source confirms to Us Weekly that her father's illness was a "breaking point" for Britney that caused her to reevaluate her life and priorities.

“Britney was distraught when her dad first got sick,” one insider tells the tabloid.

“Then there was a period where she was handling it better and feeling more positive because Jamie seemed to be improving, but then his condition worsened and she couldn’t emotionally handle the thought of potentially losing him," the source adds.

"It was her breaking point.”

Britney has already suspended her Las Vegas residency indefinitely, a decision she shared with fans in a heartfelt Instagram post:

“A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died,” she wrote.

“We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to make the difficult decision to put my full focus and energy on my family at this time.

"I hope you all can understand.”

Our thoughts go out to the Spears family at this difficult time, and we hope Britney is able to find whatever kind of help she needs.

Ashley Martson: Jay Smith Cheated On Me AGAIN!!

The new season of 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? premieres very soon, and fans can expect to see more of Ashley Martson's health battle.

But there's more than lupus that's trying to ruin Ashley's life.

She has now revealed that her husband, Jay, has cheated on her -- again.

On Monday, April 15, Ashley Martson took to her Instagram Stories to announce to the world that Jay Smith is in hot water.

"It's all fun and games until your ass gets deported," Ashley writes.

"Have fun at the strip club with MY money and MY car," she adds.

Ashley then notes that it's a car that "you're driving around without a license!"

In case there was any doubt, she tags her husband, Jay Smith.

Ashley Martson reveals that Jay Smith cheated again

To make her feelings even clearer, she adds: "Bye Felicia" and "canceled!"

Ashley had also shared an earlier, even more hostile version of the message.

"It's all fun and games," she had written. "Until I get your disgusting, cheating ass deported."

Despite her slightly moderated tone, it's clear that she's pissed.

It sounds like she's accusing him of once again cheating on her -- the second time since they got married.

Ashley and Jay have both unfollowed each other on Instagram.

In Touch Weekly spoke to an inside source who says that Jay has torpedoes his marriage for the last time.

"Ashley is indeed filing for divorce," the insider confirms. "After catching Jay cheating yet again."

"She has reached her breaking point," the source elaborates. "And this is the final straw."

"She feels like she was an opportunity for him," the insider reveals.

"And," the source expresses. "She is hurt and disgusted."

"She also feels like he manipulated her," the insider notes.

"And," the source says, Ashley "is saddened he cheated multiple times."

Ashley may be sad now, but Jay is the one with the most to lose.

"Due to him not being a citizen," the insider begins to caution.

"Once she proceeds with the divorce," the source concludes. "He could potentially be deported."

Even before Ashley and Jay got married, Ashley's friends were warning her that her deeply horny fiance was going to cheat on her.

"Maybe I don’t care what Jay does when I’m not over there," Ashley said at the time.

She added: "What he does in Jamaica when I’m not there is not my business."

“Honestly,":she expressed. "If Jesus came down from heaven right now and said he cheated on me, I wouldn’t do anything about it."

That was her policy when they were merely engaged and living in different countries.

"But," she warned. "If Jay cheats on me here in the U.S., I would have to send him packing and back home."

Well, the two of them got married in Vegas.

And then Jay cheated, even if Ashley caught him before he had the chance to lay any extramarital pipe.

Jay downloaded Tinder just days after the two got married. She caught him video chatting with a girl.

(They had also had a non-binding "wedding" ceremony in Jamaica months earlier, making his behavior even less excusable)

Ultimately, Ashley gave him a second chance.

Clearly, he will not get a third.

However ... Ashley has taken Jay back before.

After he cheated that first time. She also briefly filed for divorce on January 11 of this year, only to take it back just days later.

So she could change her tune on Jay.

We also don't know what Jay might have done.

Obviously, merely going to a strip club is not cheating -- and Ashley didn't say that it was.

When we know more, you'll know more.


Jenni Farley: I Can't Stop Smiling Over My Boyfriend!

Jenni Farley has finally given followers a glimpse at her brand new lover.

Consider yourselves warned, however:

It's a pretty minimal look. And we can't exactly see the gentleman's face. But still.

The Jersey Shore star best known as "JWOWW" surprised a handful of supporters a couple days ago when she shared a picture of herself sharing some food and some wine with a mystery man.

Cheers to the weekend,” Farley captioned the intriguing image, which preceded a video of Farley and this same individual sitting in a car together while the song "Titanium" blared in the background.

The photo (posted below) didn't come close to identifying Farley's boyfriend, nor did a subsequent statement from her rep -- although the latter did make it clear that Farley has found romance once again.

"JWOWW has moved on and is happy," this rep told Us Weekly at the same time this picture was released.

Jenni Farley date

As you can see further above, Farley hasn't revealed much more about her boyfriend in her latest snapshot.

We actually took it from a video Jenni uploaded to her Instagram page in which the unnamed stud muffin is stroking Farley's arm, while JWOWW penned as a telling caption to the footage:

"Face hurts from smiling."

The reality star’s BFF, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, seemingly approves of her costar’s new man, commenting in response to the video: “You deserve all the happiness in the world my love."

And Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino’s wife, Lauren, also weighed in on the relationship, writing as a comment to this new tease:

“Yasss Queen. love you!"

Farley has two children with estranged husband Roger Mathews.

She filed for divorce from him last fall, about three years after the couple exchanged vows.

The split quickly became very ugly and contentious after the reality stars got into a verbal altercation inside the kitchen of their home... which concluded with Farley getting a restraining order against Mathews.

He then went on an Instagram tirade against his wife, alleging that she was a neglectful mother who only cared about her job. And was also a giant liar.

Farley later accused Mathews of abuse.

And Mathews later confessed to acting in a physical manner at times.

Roger is yet to comment on Farley officially moving on in the form of this mysterious boyfriend.

Fans across the globe, meanwhile, are trying to determine who the heck he could be.

At one point this week, they thought it could be her friend, Jarret Julis.

But Farley went ahead and shot down this rumor quickly and hilariously.

"#MCM goes to @jarrjulis. People are speculating that we are dating ...." she wrote as a caption to the photo below, adding:

"I mean... I do love u and your tan muscles... I think we would look so hot together... but the problem is, we have the same taste in men, so it could never work."

Translation? Julis is gay.

Whomever is fortunate enough to be dating Farley, we just hope he treats her well.

Or breaks up with her in some sort of ugly fashion that provides us with ample entertaining content.

Either scenario would suffice, really.

Hannah Brown: New Photos Hint at What's In Store For the Bachelorette!

Folks, Beast Mode Day is almost upon us.

Now that we know exactly when Hannah Brown's season of The Bachelorette will premiere, we can officially begin the countdown until May 13.

What's in store for the former Miss Alabama is anyone's guess.

(But feel free to check out our spoilers for Hannah's season if you really can't wait to find out who gets that final rose.) 

Fortunately, ABC has decided to whet our appetites with some pics that hint at what's in store as the woman formerly known as Hannah B. begins her hunt for Mr. Right.

It's fitting that she wound up on an NBA court, because from the looks of these photos, Hannah's done more traveling than Giannis Antetokounmpo in the playoffs.

Yes, for reasons that no one quite understands, both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette send the shows' stars and finalists all over the freakin' globe during the last half of each season.

We're sure it's wildly expensive, and it really does nothing to increase our enjoyment of the show (We're in it for the drama, not the panoramic shots of Croatia.) but it looks like the custom won't be going away anytime soon.

So where is Hannah headed, exactly?

Well, we're not really sure, as ABC didn't provide any locations to go along with the pics, but some of these photos have a very European vibe, wouldn't you say?

We do know that Hannah spent some time in the UK recently.

So between that trip and Boston, she's probably had just about enough of drunk dudes spilling Guinness on her shoes as they blather about the superiority of their local sports teams.

Of course, everybody is much less interested in where Hannah will end up than in who she'll end up with.

For obvious reasons, ABC is doing its best to keep that information under wraps.

(Though like we said, spoilers abound.)

All we know for sure so far is that Hannah won't be engaging in any of the fence-hopping drama that made Colton's season such a bumpy ride.

"It's all smiles so far," says host Chris Harrison, seen here posing with Hannah on the night she first met the 32 men who would go on to compete for her affection.

That's good news for Hannah -- maybe not such great news for fans who like their reality TV with a dose of high drama.

But we don't think there's any risk of a boring season ahead.

From the very start, Hannah has been considered something of a -- let's say quirky -- casting choice, and we're sure it won't be long before she entertains us all by entering Beast Mode.

Laura Ingraham BLASTED for Mocking Slain Rapper Nipsey Hussle

At the end of March, beloved rapper Nipsey Hussle was shot dead, murdered by an acquaintance following a verbal disagreement.

Nipsey's funeral included tributes from singers and politicians. He was mourned by thousands -- he is mourned by thousands.

Fox News villain Laura Ingraham decided to mock those mourners. To smear Nipsey for her viewers, she played a video of a different black man.

Laura ingraham on nipsey hussle

"Yesterday in L.A.," Laura Ingraham says in a now viral Fox News clip. "Thousands lined the streets to say goodbye to rapper Nipsey Hussle."

"Now this dear artist," she says, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Recently released a song called 'FDT.'"

Ingraham then explains that the song's title stands for: "Eff Donald Trump"

We don't say this often because it is rarely true, but Ingraham is right about the meaning of that title.

She then immediately squanders that brief moment of not being wrong by playing a clip from the music video.

Laura ingraham shows the wrong rapper

As you will see when you watch the clip, the video focuses on an L.A. rapper by the name of YG.

That's because it's his song, from his 2016 album, Still Brazy.

Nipsey is featured in the song, but it's not his song and he didn't release it.

It's also not "recent" in music terms. 

The song is three years old.

Laura ingraham laughs over nipsey hussle

Why did Laura Ingraham use her show and platform to play the wrong music video in an attempt to disparage Nipsey?

Maybe she just wanted to address hot topics and give her core demographic -- ageing white supremacists -- a target for their ire.

A rapper who doesn't like Trump would certainly make an inviting target. 

Fox News' whole brand is about distracting people from real stories by drumming up pointless outrage.

And maybe Ingraham and her entire staff really didn't know YG from Nipsey.

They look like different people to us.

But maybe all "Trump critics" look the same to them.

Ingraham's latest bad move comes on the heels of months of controversy, including her verbal attacks on children who survive school shootings.

The accused white nationalist's remarks have been praised by members of the KKK.

In the mean time, rappers and black celebrities have called for a boycott of Ingraham's show.

The goal is to deprive her of the platform that she uses to sow misinformation and hatred.

Absolutely anyone would mistake one face for another, especially if one spends all day staring at faces.

One would hope that someone with the infinite resource of Fox News behind them would be able to do some basic fact-checking.

Of course, that's doesn't seem to be a priority for them.

The fact that Laura Ingraham continues to have a job shows that the network doesn't take her white nationalist rants seriously.

Or worse -- that they're pleased with her hateful words.

We're sorry to say that mocking the lyrics of an associate of a dead black man is far from the worst thing that Ingraham has said.

A man named Eric Holder was arrested for Nipsey's murder and for the shooting of the two men who were with Nipsey but survived.

The 29-year-old was brought in following a manhunt and has entered a plea of Not Guilty.

His defense attorney is Chris Darden -- yes, the very same attorney who rose to fame as a prosecutor on the O.J. Simpson trial.

If Holder is convicted, he may face life behind bars.

Johnny Depp: FIRED From Fantastic Beasts Amid Abuse Scandal?

When Johnny Depp and Amber Heard finalized their divorce back in 2017, they both signed non-disclosure agreements that prevented them from speaking about their brief marriage in interviews.

But now, a series of increasingly ugly lawsuits have put their split back in the tabloid headlines, and the financially-troubled Depp stands to lose a lot more than just another chunk of his fading fortune.

The latest suit has Depp suing Heard for $50 million, alleging that she violated their NDA by referencing abuse she allegedly suffered at his hands in an op-ed piece she recently wrote for the Washington Post.

The suit has seen both parties hurl shocking accusations at the other.

At one point, Depp claimed that Heard tried to cut off his finger during a fight and very nearly succeeded.

Heard countered that Depp is an alcoholic "monster" who frequently subjected her to violent abuse during his jealous rages.

With $50 million on the line, it may seem that Amber has far more to lose in this situation than Johnny.

But even if he ends up victorious in the end, the court case and all its damaging revelation may prove even more costly to Depp.

That's because Warner Bros. executives are reportedly considering firing the actor from his role as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts series as a direct result of his current lawsuit.

“Executives at Warner Bros. are wondering how to deal with the backlash of the Depp matter on the Harry Potter franchise,” a source close to the situation tells Page Six.

“High-level female execs at the studio are extremely worried about working with Depp and the message it sends to the public, especially after the recent sordid departure of CEO Kevin Tsujihara."

Tsujihara recently left Warner Bros. amid allegations of inappropriate conduct directed at female employees.

“This is yet another blow to the morale of female employees at the studio,” the insider claims.

“If Warner Bros. continues to stick by Depp, it would reveal a lot about the values the company holds.”

Several conflicted employees reportedly place some of the blame on J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series who came out in defense of the decision to cast Depp as Grindelwald.

“Many at Warner Bros. wish that Rowling hadn’t come out so strongly behind Depp, because having made her opinion so public boxes them into a corner,” says the informant.

It seems the decision on how to handle the Depp situation has not yet been reached, but insiders expect Warner to cut ties with the actor soon.

And astonishingly, Rowling isn't the only billionaire who's been dragged into the battle between Depp and Heard.

Page Six also reports that Heard's former boyfriend Elon Musk has been subpoenaed by Johnny's legal team.

Expect this situation to get much worse before it gets better.

Little People, Big World Recap: It's a Roloff Milestone!!!!!

With the departure of his brother from Little People, Big World following last season, Zach Roloff has taken center stage over the first few episodes of this brand new season.

Never more so was this the case than on Tuesday night.

The veteran reality star had one reason to smile on the latest installment of the TLC reality series and another to frown.

Let's start with the latter, shall we? Let's get the negative out of the way before concluding on a positive note...

As has been made evident thus far this season, a major focus for the Roloffs will be the future of their family farm.

Patriarch Matt seems intent on moving on with his life, having purchased a part-time home in Arizona and having settled into a serious relationship with Caryn Chandler.

Matriarch Amy is in a serious romance of her own (with polarizing boyfriend Chris Marek), possibly getting engaged any day now and also maybe ready to sell the farm and move elsewhere.

This is an open topic of discussion among the Roloffs, but Zach admitted on Tuesday's episode that the debate over the farm and the back-and-forth between his parents can simply be too much to handle at times.

"The farm has drama attached to it, and my mom and dad are drama," he told the camera, adding:

"I've learned that as I get older, it can be very emotionally draining to get wrapped up in their roller coaster."

For the most part, Amy and Matt have gotten along very well in the three-plus years since their divorce.

Each has found love with someone new and both continue to work together in relative harmony.

But tension has clearly been mounting of late.

"I kind of stay out of my mom and dad's thought processes with the farm," Zach added last night. "I don't wanna get caught in the middle of it. It's their deal."

Earlier this season, the 28-year-old admitted that he would be sad to see the farm go, if it comes to that; it's where he was raised and where he spends so much time with his son, Jackson.

"I love my dad, but my dad doesn't feel like the family appreciates it," Zach said of his feelings on selling the plot of land.

"We don't feel like he includes us. It's his way or the highway. So, it's been like a sour point too between the family."

Thankfully, Zach has his own immediate family to distract him -- and it provided him with a precious milestone on this very same episode...

... BECAUSE 13-MONTH OLD SON JACKSON STARTED WALKING!

“We kind of want to set it up as a safe area by moving our furniture and practicing with him,” Tori Roloff explained of why she set up a safe space in the middle of her living room for her child.

"He's almost there. He doesn't have the confidence yet, so once he thinks, 'Oh, I'm gonna do it this time,' he starts going, then he freaks out and sits down."

It's a special occasion any time any baby takes his or her first steps, of course.

But this was extra special for Zach and Tori because Jackson is a dwarf and there was a strong possibility he would fall behind a bit phsyically.

“Jackson is way ahead of where I was at this time,” Zach said after his son ambled across the carpet on his own.

“Jackson’s just like a completely different baby than I was. It’s so fun seeing your kid advance and learn something new.”

Every parent around the world just nodded in agreement.

"It's exciting to see him excel and see him do well," Tori echoed. “Jackson is killing it, being a dwarf and everything. He’s just doing his thing, developing along nicely and hitting all of his milestones."

That really is so very exciting.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Recap: Camille Grammer Defends Brett Kavanaugh!

With PuppyGate finally dying out, Tuesday's episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills found the ladies at odds over Brett Kavanaugh.

He does sound like an odd thing to argue about on a show that's about women dressing to impress, fighting, and starting the whole thing again when the hangover wears off.

Lisa Rinna rallied the ladies to celebrate her mother being in town. Straight off the bat, there was tension because Denise Richards wanted to know why Harry Hamlin was nowhere to be found.

Rinna responded that Hamlin was at home watching Kavanaugh's Senate hearing unfold.

"I invited him, but it's a pretty big day politically because of the Brett Kavanaugh hearing," Rinna said.

"The fact that this doctor came out -- I think she's changing everything with her courage."

"I just have a different point of view on this one," Camille Grammer muttered under her breath, prompting Kyle Richards to ask what she said.

Camille repeated what she said, and that's when the fireworks started.

"She didn't have enough evidence," she maintained.

"When you are gonna go up against the Senate with something like that, you better have your witnesses lined up because that's a very tough thing."

Teddi Mellencamp butted in, and she was not amused with Camille. 

"Isn't that sickening to say?" she said.

"Yeah, it is," Rinna said with a stern look on her face.

"If [that happened to you] at 15, you would tell your best friend, or you would tell your parents," Camille said, getting more irritated by the word.

"Camille, not necessarily," Rinna said. "Absolutely not." Mellencamp added, "I do not agree."

Robin was also in attendance, and she was not ready to back down, saying she was "attacked in 7th grade" and that she had "never spoken about it until recently because of the #MeToo movement."

"I'm a victim, too," Camille shot back. "I told my boyfriend, I told my mother, I told my therapist. I told people! I didn't hold onto it for 35 years."

Rinna tried to defend Christine, noting that she told her husband.

"She told her husband years after. It doesn't make sense," Camille barked back.

"Do you not believe her, though?" Rinna said from across the table. "Do you not believe this woman?"

"We don't know if for sure it happened or not because it's a he-said, she-said. This pisses me off!" Camille fired back, before saying she did not believe Christine.

Teddi wondered how Camille would feel if she said she did not believe that she was attacked.

"That's your prerogative," Camille replied. "This woman has some serious allegations, and I feel bad for what him and his family are going through."

Rinna was blindsided that Camille was not all that nice about Christine. 

"I am very empathetic to women [who have been victims of sexual assault], but I've also been accused of things that I've never done!" Camille hurled back, adding:

"I am really impassioned about this, and I know what it feels like to be wrongfully accused and humiliated all over the country, the world, for lies!"

"He is going to be a judge on our court for the rest of his f--king life, and that is a very big f--king thing!" Rinna said.

Ultimately, they had to agree to disagree and moved on.

Yikes, right?

Britney Spears: Being Held Against Her Will? Fans Cry FREE BRITNEY!

A few weeks ago, Britney Spears bravely checked into a mental health facility. Or is there more to that story?

Has Britney been locked away by her controlling father, prevented from performing or even living her life? Does she need to be rescued?

An insider with her conservatorship says that she was committed against her will, and Britney's 

The fan podcast titledBritney's Gramshared a voicemail from an alleged insider who makes some alarming accusations.

"I used to be a paralegal for an attorney that worked with Britney's conservatorship," the insider says.

"And," the source continues. "What is happening is ... disturbing to say the least."

"Basically, Britney was in rehearsals for Domination," the insider begins.

This was when it "came to Jamie's attention that Britney was not taking her medication as prescribed."

"She was missing a lot of doses," the source claims. "And full-on not taking them."

Apparently, her father, Jamie Spears, demanded that Britney straighten up -- or he would use his conservatorship power to cancel her residency.

"Britney refused," the insider says. "So he kept his word and pulled his support."

"And," the source continues. "He verbatim said 'blame it on my illness.'"

She did just that, the insider notes: "and that's when we get the January Instagram."

In January, Britney announced that her fear over her father's health crisis had prompted her to cancel her Vegas residency.

"Britney has been in the mental facility since mid-January," the source claims.

"Of course," the insider adds. "The statement said she has been there since last week, that is not true."

"She has been there since mid-January," the source repeats.

"And there's no timeline..." the insider begins, before clarifying. "I haven't worked at the... firm [for two weeks]."

"But there is no end date," the source reports. "Particularly in sight for this stay at this mental facility to end."

"She did not want to go..." the insider says before clarifying. "I, of course am just a paralegal."

The insider emphasizes: "I never spoke with her."

"But from what I understood," the source adds. "This was not a decision she made at all."

That's very alarming ... even though it sounds like this person is just repeating rumors heard around an office where they no longer work.

Finally, the source says that co-conservator Andrew Wallet quit over the hospitalization drama this year.

Britney stans -- or diehard fans, if you are unfamiliar with the term -- raised the alarm on Tuesday after this story began circulating.

"This s--t is so unfair !! We need to help end this money making scheme. #FreeBritney," one stan tweeted.

That tweet continued: "Please retweet! Let’s get the media evolved. We need to seriously pressure her team."

"If what #FreeBritney rumor says it's true, I call on the media to take action," announced another.

"You tried to knock her down once, now it's time to redeem yourselves," the tweet reads.

"She's a warrior but she can't be held against her will and fight without her own freedom," the tweet concludes. "[Britney Spears] we're here for you!"

Not all Britney stans are on board for taking the word of an alleged paralegal's repeating of rumors as posted on a third-rate Britney podcast.

"Under the guise of caring about her well-being and independence," points out one fan. "People are treating her as an object -- their object."

Critics of the podcast's claim point out that Britney is world-famous and has been in front of cameras and has been on Instagram.

(Admittedly, her social media is handled by a team, but 

She has a boyfriend who loves her and many people loyal to her.

If she needed help or were being held captive, she could simply ask for help.

Obviously, Britney's conservatorship is complicated and largely shrouded in mystery.

We know that members of her own team have censored some of her discussion of the conservatorship in the past.

This aura of ambiguity means that a random voicemail from an anonymous paralegal can make claims that the public cannot disprove.

It could also mean that there are elements of truth to the insider's story. We just don't know.

As always, we encourage Britney's fans and detractors to treat her with respect, even as they advocate for her.

And if anyone is just stirring the pot, we make a simple request: leave Britney alone!


Anna Duggar: Weight Loss Transformation Stuns Fans!

Generally, when fans get worked up about a social media post from Anna Duggar, the uproar has something to do with her widely-hated husband, Josh Duggar.

Fans think Anna should divorce Josh, but she seems to have no interest in doing so.

And thus, the comments section on her Instagram page frequently devolves into a war zone.

Recently, however, something astonishing happened.

In her latest pics, it looks as though Anna has lost a ton of weight.

Fans have been singing her praises -- but they've also been reading way too much into what this body transformation might mean.

Take a look:

Lori Loughlin Has Quite the Excuse for Her Alleged Bribe

Lori Loughlin has made a living by pretending to be someone else on screen.

Now, however, the actress will attempt to avoid time behind bars by pretending she used $500,000 from her bank account for a totally innocent purpose that was not against the law.

As you must know by now, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, were indicted last month for their alleged role in a nationwide college admissions scandal.

The FBI has accused the couple of paying half a million dollars to a middle man named Rick Singer.

Singer than turned around and used this money to bribe a University of Southern California official to place the names of Loughlin's daughters on a list of athletic recruits... even though these daughters had no intention of playing a sport in college.

By being placed on said list, however, admissions standards were lowered for the teenagers and they were accepted into the school.

According to various outlets, the daughters (one of whom is a social media star named Olivia Jade) even posed in fake high school crew uniforms in order to sell this aspect of the scheme.

On Monday, Loughlin pleaded not guilty to all charges associated with her role in this scandal.

Many observers have wondered since why she chose to take this route; why she didn't agree to a plea bargain (like fellow actress Felicity Huffman) and thereby avoid nearly all jail time.

Entertainment Tonight, meanwhile, claims to have the answer.

"[Lori and her husband] claim they were under the impression they might be breaking rules, but not laws," a source tells this outlet, adding:

"They feel they were manipulated by those involved and are planning that as part of their defense."

Wait, what? How so?!? Please elaborate, anonymous informant...

"They realize how serious the charges are, but feel that once the judge hears their story he will see they had no bad intentions.

"They in no way felt they were money laundering. They thought the money would be used for a donation and to benefit the school."

Now there's a defense for you, huh?!?

It certainly is (unfortunately) common for a rich person to donate a lot of money to a school and basically ensure his or her daughter gets in as a result...

... but such a donation is not typically made to someone who does NOT work for the school, as it allegedly was here to Rick Singer.

Moreover, Loughlin will need to account for the pesky little fact that her children reportedly posed in those fake high school crew team uniforms.

Because Loughlin did not take her arrest seriously, she now faces 40 years in prison.

The charge of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and honest services mail and wire fraud provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000 or twice the gross gain or loss, whichever is greater.

Then there's the charge of conspiracy to commit money laundering, which provides for a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $500,000 -- or twice the value of the property involved in the money laundering.

No one expect Lori or her husband to go to jail for that long a period of time.

But she's playing a dangerous game here for certain, one that could absolutely make her a ward of the state at some point.

"When Lori heard the number of years she could spend in prison she broke down crying. The thought of being separated from her loved ones for years brought her to her knees," the same ET source says, concluding:

"She has watched as the other families cut deals but her husband feels they are not guilty and should plead not guilty."

And now they have.

We'll see how this plays out.

Sophie Turner Contemplated Suicide Amid Online Bullying

Sophie Turner is opening up about the impact her fame has had on her mental health. 

And let's just say that being a star on the cultural phenomenon that is Game of Thrones has sadly taken a toll on her well-being. 

Sophie has been vocal about her issues in the past but during a podcast interview with Dr. Phil today, she revealed that she used to contemplate suicide

When the actress was only 17, about four years after she started filming the HBO series, Sophie started struggling with depression, according to E! News

"It's weird. I wasn't very depressed when I was younger, but I used to think about suicide a lot when I was younger," she shared.

"I don't know why though.

"Maybe it's just a weird fascination I used to have, but yeah, I used to think about it," the 23-year-old continued. 

"I don't think I ever would have gone through with it. I don't know."

Turner blames social media for a lot of her mental health problems saying that it's filled with constant hate and criticism. 

"People used to say, 'Damn, Sansa gained 10 Ibs' or 'Damn, Sansa needs to lose 10 Ibs' or 'Sansa got fat,'" she said. 

"It was just a lot of weight comments, or I would have spotty skin because I was a teenager, and that's normal, and I used to get a lot of comments about my skin and my weight and how I wasn't a good actress."

Sophie started believing everything she read, admitting that social media totally brainwashed her opinions of herself. 

"I would just believe it. I would say, 'Yeah, I am spotty. I am fat. I am a bad actress.'"

"I would get [the costume department] to tighten my corset a lot. I just got very, very self-conscious."

During the show's off-season, she couldn't even find the motivation to go out. 

She never wanted to hang out with her friends and even the thought of leaving her house or getting dressed brought her to tears. 

"I just would cry and cry and cry over just getting changed and putting clothes on and be like, 'I can't do this. I can't go outside. I have nothing that I want to do,'" she said. 

Thankfully, Sophie sought help and things began to look up for the English starlet. 

Her parents started to notice the therapy bills about a year ago, which is when she finally explained to them what happened. 

"I'm on medication and I love myself now, or more than I used to, I think," she explains. 

Sophie did share that she will be taking a break from the acting world now that the final season of Game of Thrones is done filming.

The only plans that the future Mrs. Jonas is taking time to focus on now is what is "most important" to her -- mental health. 

And hopefully... her upcoming summer wedding

"I [sometimes] don't think I love myself at all, but I'm now with someone that makes me realize I do have some redeeming qualities, I suppose," she said. 

"And when someone tells you they love you every day, it makes you really think about why that is and I think that makes you love yourself a bit more."

"So yeah, I love myself," she concluded. 

We love you too, Sophie!

And we're very happy to hear that she got the help she needed and is loving herself once again -- the way she deserves!

Ryan Edwards to His Wife: I Just Got Out of Jail! Leave Me Alone!

As previously documented, Ryan Edwards is a free man.

The disgraced reality star was released from a Tennessee prison on Monday after spending three months behind bars due to an arrest in January that stemmed from an outstanding warrant.

This arrest came on the heels of several weeks Edwards spent in rehab (following a different arrest last summer), during which time he missed out on the birth of his second son.

Therefore, finally permitted to go home and hang out with this young boy and his wife, Mackenzie Standifer, you would think Edwards would be ecstatic and embracing the opportunity to simply sit on the couch and act as a responsible father and husband.

If you did think this, though, you would be mistaken.

Upon getting his walking papers from prison, Edwards reportedly told Standifer that he doesn't want to see very much of her right now... despite all the recent time they have spent apart.

“Ryan told Mackenzie, ‘The first thing I want to do is… I need a little time to be by myself,’” a source tells Radar Online. “He’s had no private time at all.”

It's true: The poor guy has been stuck with other inmates in the clink for months, unable to even take a shower at his own pace and leisure.

Can someone please break out a huge violin and play it loudly in honor of all Edwards has gone through of late?

Standifer, meanwhile, has had the luxury of sleeping by herself in her own bed in between multiple feedings of her newborn each night. She's probably been able to even gulp down cold coffee each morning while the baby fussed and crawled all over her.

She's had it made with Ryan gone! Sheesh!

The least she can do now is give her some space, especially after Edwards gave Standifer so much space in October that he wasn't even around for the birth of little Jagger.

Despite this seemingly ridiculous and abhorrently selfish request from Ryan, Mackenzie has no plans to file for divorce.

She has shot down this possibility numerous times in the past and this same Radar insider echoes that sentiment now.

“She understands,” the source explains.

“She told him, ‘I’ve been taking care of these kids. You need to help me with the kids when you're done!’ She’s been really good. She’s been very firm with Ryan.”

We could have sworn that Ryan was done, that this was the entire point of him getting released from jail -- but what do we know?

As for what Edwards is craving to do with his alone time?

"He said he wants to sit in the woods for a whole day and not have to listen to anyone talk,” Radar reports. “He wants to get on his motorcycle and ride it.”

Considering Edwards was accused last year of going on Tinder and asking a woman for cocaine shortly after his rehab stint ended, we guess it could be worse.

We guess merely riding a motorcycle isn't all that bad by comparison.

Still, though, allow us to pass along some words of wisdom to the former Teen Mom 2 star:

Man up, dude. This is just embarrassing.

Jeremy Vuolo: Jinger Helps Me Resist My Impure Temptations

Recently, Jinger Duggar has been flaunting more Duggar rules than ever. She can do that -- because she's a Vuolo, now.

In a new interview, Jinger and Jeremy sat down to speak openly and honestly about their marriage.

Jeremy says that he tells Jinger every impure thought that crosses his mind so that his wife can help him fight "temptation."

Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo sat down with Jeremy and Audrey Roloff for their Behind The Scenes podcast.

Jeremy and Jinger have, of course, been married since 2016.

They met through Jessa and Ben Seewald, though Jinger at first worried that Jeremy wouldn't be interested in her.

"I knew Jeremy for some months before we started a relationship," Jinger reminds listeners.

"So," Jinger reasons. "I knew he was an awesome, awesome guy."

Jinger says that it was on a mission trip when she noticed that Jeremy had the qualities that she had prayed to see in a spouse.

To her delight, he ended up returning her interest.

Jeremy shares his side, how he had also thought deeply about what sort of spouse he would one day hope to see.

"I wrote down a list of what I wanted in a wife," Jeremy reveals.

He makes it clear that he wasn't talking about his future wife's appearance, but about her character.

But even after they had developed feelings for each other, there were still some hangups to work out.

Jeremy says that at first he was afraid, even "petrified," at the idea of becoming a reality TV star.

He got over his misgivings when Jinger made it clear that her heart was "not being driven by the red carpet."

Because Jinger is a Duggar, there was no dating -- there was a courtship, an engagement, and a wedding.

It was when they prepared for that that Jinger brought up "the issue of purity and communication."

Jeremy explains that he and his wife discuss various temptations that he may experience.

"Very early on, from the moment we were married," Jeremy says. "I wanted Jinger to be in with me on the battle for purity."

That line alone is a great reminder that the Duggars and those in their world have very different everyday concerns than most of us.

"And so," Jeremy admits. "It’s a difficult conversation at times to have."

"But," he says, it's helpful "to be able to say, ‘hey I’m getting hit with some temptation or I’m just struggling this morning with this or that.'"

He admits that he had some uncertainty about being directly honest about "impure" thoughts.

"We naturally think, ‘if I show her that I’m struggling with this thought or that thought, it’s going to hurt her,'” Jeremy explains.

“Well," he reveals. "Actually the opposite is true."

"It actually builds her trust," Jeremy says.

He says that it works this way "because she begins to think ‘oh, if he’s struggling, he’s going to let me know and I can fight with him.'"

Honesty often builds trust.

So, if we're understanding this carefully phrased explanation correctly ... Jeremy tells Jinger his naughty thoughts.

Most people just check out a stranger's butt or neck or whatever floats their boat and then think nothing of it.

But there are two types of marriages where one spouse will lay it all bare before the other and share every thirst trap they saw that day.

One is people in a polyamorous or open relationship where the couple shares their stories.

The other is fundamentalists who turn their married life into a ritual of confession.
