Briana DeJesus Baby Photo: First Adorable Look!

Briana DeJesus is a new Teen Mom 2 cast member.

Similarly, she now has a new baby at home who is simply too cute for words.

And we've got the photographic evidence down below!

Briana DeJesus on MTV

Over the weekend, DeJesus celebrated the birthday of this great country by establishing a birthday for her second child:

She welcomed a little girl named Stella into the world on July 2, just a few months after causing quite the online stir by telling the universe she was pregnant all over again.

According to MTV News, the child was born around 2 p.m and, according to Briana herself, she weighed in at the time at six pounds, 11 ounces, while measuring 19.5 inches in length.

The controversial reality star simply wrote "what a blessing" as a caption to the following image in confirming that she was a mother once more.

it's stella

DeJesus is also a parent to a five-year girl named Nova.

She created this first daughter with ex-boyfriend Devoin Austin, who has been out of the picture for quite awhile and whose relationship with Briana was documented way back in the day on MTV's 16 & Pregnant.

DeJesus went on to star in the only season of Teen Mom 3 before the network announced earlier this year that she would be brought back for the new season of Teen Mom 2.

It debuts on July 17.

Viewers need not wait to watch Teen Mom 2 online or on television in order catch their first glimpse at Briana's baby, however, because the 23-year old has shared a precious picture on Instagram.

"My StellyBelly girl," DeJesus wrote as a caption to the snapshot below:

An Instagram user named “trudiibee” thinks Stella looks like Briana’s mother, while someone with the handle “__mamaof2__” believes she more closely resembles Nova.

What about her father?

Does Stella look like Briana's mysterious estranged lover, Luis?

We have no idea. No one has really ever seen Luis.

In footage from the upcoming season of Teen Mom 2, we see Briana crying over the fact that Luis apparently cheated on her, so we aren't certain if he'll lend any sort of hand in raising his daughter.

All we know about this baby daddy is that he's 31 years old and DeJesus really thought he was The One at one point.

"We’ve been just trying to figure it out for the sake of this baby,” she told producers in a clip from her recent MTV special, adding:

“We want to move in together... I would like to get married, all this grown up stuff. Cause I’m an adult, not 16 and pregnant."

But DeJesus doesn't sound very hopeful about their future any longer.

On a Teen Mom after-show last month, she said the following when asked if Luis would play an ongoing role in Stella's life:

"That’s up in the air, to be honest. We’re still going through it. You will see him on the show. It won’t be a mystery forever. You will definitely see him.

"It gets very intense. There are some deep moments. A lot of educational moments, but it’s very intense. That’s where my life is right now...

"[I’m] excited to continue sharing my story because things left off right around when life was becoming hectic and now I get to finish sharing that story.

"You get to see in-depth the choices we make and the struggles we go through."

No wonder MTV is bringing Briana back, right?

What sort of viewing fun would it be if she and Luis would just in a normal, stable and happy relationship?


Kelly Clarkson Shuts Down Body Shamer: What Did She Say?

Kelly Clarkson is not one to stay quiet when someone grates on her nerves, and we love her for her brutal honesty. 

The latest drama for the 35-year-old centers around a troll on Twitter who took a swipe at the singer for her weight. 

Kelly Clarkson Finale Pic

“You’re fat,” a troll fired at her, but as you can probably expect, Kelly did not take that jab lying down. 

“…and still f—ing awesome,” Kelly fired back towards the troll. Yeah, you tell them, Kelly. 

Understandably, fans were quick to jump to the American Idol winner's defense, while complimenting her reaction to the hater. 

"YAAAAS, KELLY, COME THROUGH. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL AND TALENTED AND WONDROUS. YOU ARE A GODDESS. OMG KWEEN, SLAY," said one fan. 

"Seriously miserable people tweet others calling them fat. Bet Cliff couldn't carry a tune to save his life," said another. 

Kelly Clarkson Forever!

It's downright horrible that these people are hiding behind a keyboard taking swipes at people they do not like. Like we said earlier, Kelly has no qualms about letting everyone know it does not faze her. 

When English media personality Katie Hopkins criticized Kelly's weight in 2015, Clarkson had an epic response for her.

"Oh, she's tweeted something nasty about me? That's because she doesn't know me. I'm awesome! It doesn't bother me. It's a free world. Say what you will," Clarkson said.

That, however, was not the first time Kelly found herself being body shamed. In fact, she opened up to Ellen that same year about the severity of the situation.

“I love how people think that’s new — like, ‘Welcome to the past 13 years,'” she said at the time.

“Yeah, I was the biggest girl on [American Idol], too. And I wasn’t big, but people would call me big because I was the biggest one on Idol, and I’ve kind of always gotten that.”

Kelly Clarkson made headlines a few weeks back when it emerged that she ditched a return trip to American Idol in favor of taking on a coveted role on The Voice.

Corinne Olympios Breaks Social Media Silence!

It was such a huge relief to hear Corinne Olympios put things to rest, because the Bachelor in Paradise pool sex scandal had taken so many upsetting turns.

There were people slut-shaming Corinne Olympios. There were insinuations that DeMario Jackson was some sort of predator. There were worries that 

But finally, after a month of the social media equivalent of "dead air," Corinne has broken her social media silence.

Corinne Olympios via Snapchat

That's not a super big deal on its own -- it's just a photo.

But we think that it signals more than just the fact that Corinne was celebrating the Fourth of July with a star-spangled selfie.

To us, it represents Corinne getting ready for things to get back to normal.

Look, however you feel about Snapchat filters ...

(Even if you feel that Snapchat itself drains what little lingers of your youth and callously mocks you whenever you use it)

... You have to admit that it's good to "hear from" Corinne.

Corinne Olympios Instagram Photo

It's been, what, a month

Since Bachelor in Paradise production was shut down in the first place, we mean.

That was the poolside sex romp that started it all.

(Honestly, there's still so much that we don't know and will never know)

DeMario Jackson wasn't shy about speaking out, out of fear that people would see him as the aggressor in the situation.

(Even though no one, Corinne included, ever pointed the finger at him -- but a bunch of fans wanted to blame him for some reason)

(Racism -- the reason was racism)

And except for a few of Corinne Olympios' public statements -- super stilted language, likely worded by her legal team -- Corinne herself has been 

DeMario Jackson on the Street

We gotta be honest, like, Warner Bros determining that no assault took place during an internal investigation didn't mean a lot on its own.

Like, that's the sort of thing that could be completely legitimate.

But given the obvious interests involved, that's also the sort of thing that could sound like a non-subtle cover-up.

Kind of like when Trump says that his team didn't collude with Russia, you know?

We don't mean to imply that Warner Bros is sinister or incompetent or orange by that comparison.

Just that, understandably, investigators would have had to have been conscious of the fact that determining that something terrible took place would reflect on everybody involved.

Tough to be impartial when your paychecks come from the corporate entity that might take a hit.

But if Corinne's satisfied -- remember, she didn't remember what happened and had to put it all together after-the-fact -- then we're satisfied, you know?

Though we do hope that DeMario and Corinne get to talk.

For both of their sakes.

Corinne Models

So, admittedly, Corinne's Snapchat photo for the Fourth of July wasn't the big social media comeback that people expected.

But not everybody has to pen a long-ass open letter that they post to Instagram for some reason after something major happens.

Corinne can just go back to sharing photos of herself and marketing her platinum vagine (shirts! shirts that say those words, we mean).

She doesn't really owe the world an essay.

Scott Disick: Committing Suicide With Alcohol, Friends Claim

For about as long as he's been in the spotlight, Scott Disick has been partying hard and coping with his stresses and sorrows through the use of various substances.

But in recent weeks, he's ratcheted up his booze intake to the point that friends are reportedly seriously concerned for his well-being.

Shockingly, sources close to the 34-year-old say they're not worried that he's doing longterm damage that will catch up with him down the road - they're worried that at the rate he's going, he won't live out the year.

Scott Disick Laughs It Up

Disick has been drinking more than ever in the wake of news that his ex, Kourtney Kardashian, is dating Younes Bendjima.

Scott and Kourtney have broken up several times in the past, but Disick seems to be taking the Bendjima romance as a sign that there will be no reconciliation this time.

And the news that his relationship with the mother of his three children is well and truly over seems to have hit Disick like a ton of bricks.

Disick is drinking more than ever these days, a fact that's been confirmed by celebrities like Bella Thorne, who briefly joined the Lord's globe-trotting, non-stop party.

Unfortunately, that party may soon come to a crashing halt due to serious health concerns.

Friends say Disick is suffering from liver disease already, and they fear his condition will deteriorate rapidly if he continues on his current path.

Scott Disick Stands

“He’s in real bad shape, but he won’t stop the partying,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.

“He’s killing himself, but he refuses to go to rehab. Instead he’s been plotting his funeral and has already bought a plot in Westwood cemetery.”

Yes, Disick's condition has reportedly reached the point where he sees only one way out.

The source goes on to detail the various ways in which Scott's body appears to be shutting down:

“Scott’s been getting horrific bouts of heart-burn that’s one drink away from turning into alcohol-related gastritis,” the anonymous friend claims, adding:

Scott Disick Under Fire

“He also needs 10-12 hours sleep, usually sleeping off a drinking session, but it’s never quality sleep ... There are early signs of jaundice because his ankles are this strange yellow color.”

Despite the many warning signs, Disick shows no sign of slowing down.

Revelers in Miami tell Radar that Scott was spotted chugging a beer on a balcony at 6:30 am over the Fourth of July weekend.

Disick was reportedly surrounded by a raging party that included many young women, but did not appear to be enjoying himself.

Here's hoping Scott's able to find the help he needs before it's too late.

Briana DeJesus vs. Mackenzie McKee: Teen Mom Feud Alert!

When MTV announced that Briana DeJesus would be joining the cast of Teen Mom 2 for the show's upcoming season, the news was met with a fair amount of confusion.

After all, the show certainly wasn't lacking in storylines, and none of the existing cast members had left the series, so why bring in yet another mom?

Now, it seems that TM2 producers were aware of some very important information about Briana:

Briana DeJesus on MTV

The girl has an incredible talent for bringing the drama.

Already, DeJesus has feuded with Jenelle Evans and pissed off several of the other ladies - and she hasn't even made her debut on the show yet.

Now, it seems Briana is butting heads with a mom who's not even associated with MTV's most popular frianchise anymore.

Mackenzie McKee starred alongside DeJesus in the ill-fated Teen Mom 3, which lasted for just one season.

She openly expressed her shock and surprise after learning that producers chose Briana instead of her to joing the cast of TM2.

That was several months ago, but it seems Mackenzie is still a bit salty about the decision:

Briana DeJesus Tweet

As you can see, Mackenzie liked a tweet in which a fan complained about the addition of Briana to the cast.

DeJesus took a screen shot and retweeted it along with a simple question: why?

Mackenzie didn't respond to Briana's query, but did go on to rant about someone who follows her on social media only to "spread hate."

"I don't hate anyone. I've always loved this person. But I can promise she hates me," McKee tweeted, adding that she blocked the unidentified hater.

There's little doubt that McKee was talking about DeJesus, and she's been open about her distaste for her former co-star for quite some time:

Briana DeJesus Baby Shower

“I hope MTV didn’t choose her over me because I am married and have three kids with the same guy,” she told Radar Online back in March.

“The story on different baby daddies is what people are interested in.”

We're beginning to think MTV should also add Mackenzie to the cast for the sake of some old-fashioned feud drama.

Celine Dion: Nude for Vogue! At Age 49!

Celine Dion has a great voice.

Take one listen to the singer belting out a single note of music and this will be an undeniable fact.

Similarly, Celine Dion has a great body.

Take one look at the singer posing naked for Vogue and you'll excitedly agree with this statement.

Celine Dion Snapshot

That's right, readers, you read the above statement correctly:

Celine Dion, a woman who will never exactly be confused with Kim Kardashian or Courtney Stodden, has shed all of her clothing for a risque photo shared on the aforementioned magazine's Instagram account.

We're talking totally and completely naked here, too.

There's not a shred of a top or a bottom to be found.

When it comes to age, the 49-year old clearly agrees with the maxim that this figure is just a number.

And the following snapshot is about to do a number on your eyeballs, that's for certain!

Celine Dion Nude

“Here’s a little naked fact to ponder while Celine Dion changes looks between show...” the Vogue caption reads alongside the picture.

Later in this same caption,Dion is quoted in regard to how she often alters her haute couture numbers during concerts in Las Vegas or around the world.

“The clothes follow me; I do not follow the clothes," explains the beloved, widely respected and often-acclaimed and awarded artist.

The message went on to detail a classic, simply cut Dior little black dress that Dion bought years ago, when John Galliano oversaw the fashion house.

It was this same ensemble that the widow wore to husband Rene Angelil's funeral in January 2016.

A seven-time Grammy winner, Dion is sitting nude on a chair in this image, which has quickly gone viral with over 120,000 Likes

Her right leg is crossed over her left, shielding her most private of parts from the camera, while her arms are wrapped around her bare chest; her left hand covering the lower part of her face as she stares mysteriously into the lens.

It's a beautiful snapshot.

Celine Dion in Paris

Vogue followed Dion around Paris for Couture Week in that fashionable city, sharing numerous photos from the pictorial on social media.

Another post, for example, depicted the veteran star donning a sweet mini-dress by Giambattista Valli at the label’s Haute Couture show.

“Celine Dion doesn’t try to hide her feelings,” this photo's caption read, concluding:

“Her candor is one of her many charms, coupled with lovely manners and an emotional transparency that’s unique to anyone.”

While many celebrity gossip followers may be surprised to see Celine Dion nude in this manner, the singer actually posed topless for a seductive spread with V magazine in 2012.

She said at the time of the racy photos:

"I'm like this in my real life."

Does the same apply to her very handsome son?

Kim Kardashian: FURIOUS Over Jay Z's Diss Track About Kanye West?!

Kim Kardashian has enough to deal with right now.

We imagine she's still dealing with the trauma of being robbed at gunpoint last October in Paris, and if reports are to be believed, she's expecting a new baby or two via surrogate.

Kim Kardashian in Black and Green

If that weren't enough, her husband, Kanye West, suffered a mental breakdown late last year, and it seems like he's still working on getting himself well.

There are also all those divorce rumors that keep popping up ...

The point is Kim has her plate full these days, and she doesn't need more piled on.

But unfortunately, that's apparently just what Jay Z did when he released his new album last Friday.

The issue is that, in one of the tracks on the album, Jay went after Kanye, and went after him hard.

"I know people backstab you, I feel bad too," he rapped. "But this 'f-ck everybody' attitude ain't natural."

Jay Z and Kanye West Photo

"But you ain't the same, this ain't KumbaYe, but you got hurt because you did cool by 'Ye."

"You gave him 20 million without blinkin'," Jay Z continued. "He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f-ck was he thinkin'?"

"'F-ckin' wrong with everybody?' is what you sayin', but if everybody's crazy, you're the one that's insane."

Pretty rough, right?

It's even rougher for Kim, who, according to a source who spoke to Hollywood Life, "gets very protective of her husband, like a mama bear."

"She thinks it was a low blow to diss Kanye and throw around words like 'insane' after all he's been through."

Kimye on Easter

"Kanye had a real difficult time last year," the source continued, "and is still coming out of it, so to hit him like that wasn't cool."

And you know what? It really wasn't.

To call someone who recently spent some time in a psychiatric facility to get help for some emotional issues "insane" -- especially someone you used to consider a close friend -- really is low.

And if the story wasn't sad enough already, another source added that "Kim is worried sick that Kanye is getting too worked up over this feud."

"She has worked so hard to get Ye to a more stable mental and emotional place and fears the strain of beefing with Jay will cause him to relapse back to an unhealthy mental state."

Kimye in 2017

Kim "really wants Kanye to focus on his health and the family," but "instead he seems more and more concerned with work, money and the tour and that really concerns her."

Yeah, if that's true, it concerns us, too.

It seems like overextending himself was what caused Kanye to have a breakdown in the first place, and it seems like he's doing the same thing all over again.

Why'd you have to go and be petty, Jay Z?

Lesley Murphy: Bachelor Alum Shares Pics After Post-Mastectomy Boob Job

Lesley Murphy won fans when competing in Season 17 of The Bachelor, vying for Sean Lowe's heart way back in 2013.

More recently, though, she made headlines for wisely getting a preventative double-mastectomy after finding out that her genetics put her at major risk of getting breast cancer.

And now, after weeks of preparation, she's gotten implants and she's sharing her tale with the world.

Lesley Murphy for the Fourth

Her most recent photo shows her with her surgery happily behind her and she's doing just fine.

In this Fourth of July photo, Lesley jokes that she's been "stuffing her bra since the '90s."

Avoiding cancer before you ever get it is good.

Having a great sense of humor about it is great.

Just look at how cheerful she looks in this photo after receiving her breast implants:

Lesley Murphy, Post-Implants

You may recall that Lesley discovered that she has the BRCA 2 gene, which puts her at major risk for breast cancer.

A double-mastectomy is of course the best choice, but the fact that she's sharing this with the world is so important.

We've read of worst-case scenarios when women face this decision after a breast cancer diagnosis.

One woman's husband told her that he'd rather see her dead than without breasts.

Another woman expected her husband to pick her up from her mastectomy and he never showed.

When she eventually made her way home, she discovered that he had moved out while she was in the hospital.

(The world is awful, sorry)

So when Lesley Murphy shares her story, complete with photos, with the world, she's working to reduce misunderstandings and to normalize the life-saving procedure for other women.

It's even better when she walks followers through every step of the way.

Lesley Murphy's Second Post-Op

That photo is of Lesley after her second post-op following the mastectomy surgery.

Part of preparing to receive implants meant getting pumped with gradually increasing volumes of saline.

She described the temporary expander implants as feeling like "boulders" as they brought her up from a flat chest to a C-cup.

But now she's past all of that and her implant surgery went well.

"Happy with a 100% chance of swollen. Exchange surgery was a success and a huge difference from the double mastectomy surgery,"

It sounds like her experience was, while not perfect, very much a best-case scenario.

"After 3 hours I woke up and drank some ginger ale, saw my mom, discussed things with my sweet nurse and was wheeled out of my favorite hospital...where I felt like we hit every bump in the road on the way home. Ouuuuch."

Yeah, that sounds all kinds of agonizing.

You don't need to have ever had surgery or have boobs to understand that cars aren't exactly the most comfortable place to be when you're not feeling your best.

Honestly, if we'd had any kind of major surgery so recently, you wouldn't catch us posing for photos for the Fourth of July.

You'd be lucky to catch us wearing anything more than a bathrobe.

A C-cup is a lot of progress since Lesley Murphy's post-mastectomy photo, right?

Lesley Murphy Topless After Mastectomy

Keep in mind, though, that if Lesley had wanted to keep her chest at that level, that would have been 100% fine.

Not everyone who gets a mastectomy can afford to get implants afterwards.

Not everyone who gets a mastectomy wants to get implants afterwards, for any of a whole host of reasons.

But by sharing her story like this, Lesley may make it easier for an unknowable number of women to get life-saving procedures in the future.

Boobs are awesome, but nobody should be dying to keep them.


Rob Kardashian GOES OFF on Blac Chyna: You're a Cheater! And a Liar! And a Drug User!

Look below.

This is a very cute photo of Rob Kardashian and his daughter, Dream:

His Life is All About Dream

We just wanted you to have a pleasant image in your head before we delved into the ugliest feud to date between Dream's parents, Rob and Blac Chyna.

Which is saying A LOT if you're even remotely familiar with the history of these controversial reality stars...

The latest, most contentious round of fighting between Rob and Chyna appears to have started on July Fourth.

Instead of grilling some hot dogs with her baby daddy, Chyna apparently sent Kardashian footage of some guy who had just placed his hot dog in her bun (if you know what we mean!), rubbing in her ex-boyfriend's face that she was getting some at that exact moment.

Wrote Rob as an affiliated message to the video below, which he shared on his Instagram page:

Hahahaha Chyna just sent me this video saying happy 4th of July what a crazy person. Come spend time with your daughter instead of fucking me and then this dude right after.

U need help.

Just two weeks ago, sources claimed that Rob and Chyna were back to having sex... a report that Rob backed up in his many (MANY!) subsequent Instagram photos and captions following his unveiling of this scandalous video.

"That's crazy u let me cum inside u and then another man do the same in the same bed and the same robe and everything in the house where I pay 16K rent. Sheesh," Rob wrote on Wednesday morning.

"And so u know she had her butt reduced but I know it still looks wild."

Kardashian initially included photos of Chyna's rear end and boobs, along with a picture he claimed to be of her exposed vagina, telling readers that she sent him the latter as a way to entice him into bed.

He later deleted these racy images, but he continued to hammer Chyna for her cheating, lying and many instances of plastic surgery.

pic chyna sent me

The man who is basically eating Chyna's face in the above video is named Ferrari. (NOTE: Probably not his real name.)

He claims on his Instagram page to be a “Musician/Icon/Brand Ambassador/Entrepreneur" and Rob claims that Ferrari has been texting him with requests for money because Chyna now wants Ferrari to act as her sugar daddy.

He says he can't afford to foot any of Chyna's bills, while Rob goes on to say he's been paying for his ex-girlfriend for several months now.

And supposedly Ferrari wants to team up with Rob to cash in on... how they've both slept with Chyna? We guess?

"This is the dude Chyna got caught cheating on me with for a minute now," Rob wrote alongside texts he swears were sent to him by Chyna's new play thing.

"Look he texted me asking for help and said he needed money cuz he can't afford to pay Chyna's bill so that's why I pay her bills.

"More receipts are coming. Just yesterday Chyna sent me her pussy and everything and said she gonna come fuck me ... wait for it.

"Never once have I cheated on Chyna and I remained loyal to her even after all the cheating she been doing and the multiple men she been fucking including me."

from rob

Rob says he’s probably spent about a million dollars on Chyna since they met. He says he’s paid $90,000 for her necklaces and another $70,000 for a watch.

Not to mention the $100,000 he doled out to help Chyna lose weight after she gave birth to Dream last November.

chyna in surgery

Late last month, Rob and Chyna took their daughter to Disneyland.

All has seemed relatively calm between the stars for awhile now actually.

We'd typically speculate over the legitimacy of heated words such as the ones Rob has fired off today.

We'd wonder whether this was all scripted and presume it was all a way for Kardashian and Chyna to garner attention and perhaps even tease a new reality series of some kind.

But that is most definitely a video of Chyna macking it big time with some other dude.

And this excerpt from Kardashian's rant is definitely a reference to Chyna being a drug addict, which is a rather serious accusation to merely toss around because you want E! to give you another show:

drug accusations

"The saddest part is I knew about all this and didn't say a word or speak on anything because I actually Love Chyna genuinely until she just sent me a video of her and this man kissing in her bed with my daughter and her son in the house," wrote Rob toward the end of his postings today.

He continued:

"The same day she sent me pic of her pussy and saying i can come fuck her soon. The same exact day I had 250K of jeweler dropped off to the house. I never been so disrespected by a Woman and I support everything she does until this stuff.

"Just sloppy and messy and the disrespect.

"Thank God for my daughter but I will never allow my daughter over to that house that I pay for with all the drugs and alcohol that goes on. I got receipts for days and I'm gonna keep going and I don't give a fuck.

"The girl told me today she gonna have a third baby daddy and she also told me today she wants to have more kids next year in June. And she sending me videos of her and other man with our babies in the house.

"And then this thirsty ass dude posting selfies in the house I pay for and bed I made my baby in damn shame."

Whoa there: Did Rob just threaten to take Dream away from her mother?

Like we said: this $hit is getting serious.

We're way beyond Blac Chyna simply taking her kids to Legoland without Rob here.

Look for Blac to fire back against Rob at any moment now - and look out for Dream to be just wandering down the street alone one of these days, while her parents continue to blow up at each other over social media.

That poor child.

UPDATE: Chyna responded to Kardashian’s allegations on Snapchat, alleging that he hit her.

“On my kids but I’m supposed to be quiet because you’re a Kardashian,” she wrote in a post that has since been deleted. “The light will come to the light.”

chynas reply

On Sunday, Chyna Instagrammed that she was "single," and "happy."

Meanwhile, Rob and Dream attended sister Khloe Kardashian's Fourth of July celebration on Tuesday.

Camilla Parker Bowles to Meghan Markle: Do NOT Marry Prince Harry!

It's been nine months since we first learned that Prince Harry is dating Meghan Markle, and engagement rumors have pretty much been flying non-stop the entire time.

Based on insider accounts of the situation, we're guessing Harry will eventually pop the question.

But if Camilla Parker Bowles has her way, Meghan won't be giving him the answer he wants.

Meghan Markle Throwback Pic

Parker Bowles, as you're likely aware, is the second wife of Prince Charles.

She reportedly disapproves of Meghan for reasons that remain unclear.

Sources say Camilla has repeatedly appealed to her husband in an effort to get Harry to call it quits.

Now, she's trying a different tack and taking her argument straight to the source.

No, she's not trying to talk Harry out of proposing ...

... she's trying to talk Meghan out of accepting.

Camilla Parker Bowles Image

We should add that all of this comes from an Australian Yahoo! site, and should thus be taken with many grains of salt, but it's not the first we've heard of Camilla looking down her nose at Meghan.

“She told Meghan that she didn’t like her relationship with Harry and that she should think twice before agreeing to his marriage proposal because Camilla was planning to make her life very tough,” a source tells the site.

“She’s long thought Meghan isn’t good enough for Harry and told her that she’s not welcome in the royal family.”

The site claims that Camilla isn't keen on Meghan for the usual reasons (she's American; she's an actress; she stars on a basic cable show that no one watches outside of nursing homes), but there's an additional reason for her disdain, as well:

Apparently, Meghan was in a two-year relationship with a "celebrity chef" named Corey Vilitello when she met Harry.

Meghan Markle in 2015

She promptly dropped Corey like a hot rock because "prince" trumps "celebrity chef" any day, and Camilla thinks it was the shadiest of moves.

Markle's own sister has accused her of being a status-obsessed social climber, and while most of her claims have been debunked, it seems Camilla is still riding the anti-Meghan train.

Based on how smitten Harry seems, we doubt Meghan has anything to worry about.

Jenelle Evans ... well, if there's one thing we can say about her, it's that she's fertile.

Girl is only 25 years old and she's been pregnant at least five times.

Jenelle Evans' Car Selfie

For someone whose last name isn't Duggar, that's really saying something.

First there was the pregnancy featured on 16 and Pregnant, the one that resulted in her giving birth to Jace (and then promptly handing him over to her mother).

She got pregnant again when she was with Courtland Rogers, but she had an abortion. Shortly after that, she and Nathan Griffith conceived Kaiser.

Then last spring she had a miscarriage before she and David Eason conceived her third child, Ensley.

It's a lot to keep up with, right?

And now we have one more possible pregnancy to add to the pile.

Yes, even though Jenelle just gave birth to her third child less than six months ago, rumors are already spreading that she's pregnant yet again.

Does she do anything besides have unprotected sex?

Jenelle Evans Instagram Ad

The rumors have been brewing for a couple of weeks now -- they started when she shared one of her endless Instagram ads for that magical tea that will flatten any and all tummies.

But, oddly enough, Jenelle didn't show her tummy -- was she hiding something?

We do know that she snapped back into shape very quickly after giving birth to Ensley, so it's not like she's hiding anything like that.

Could it have been a baby bump?!

The next piece of evidence came yesterday, when Jenelle shared the following selfie on Snapchat:

So cute and patriotic ... but also suspicious.

And not only just because she actually referred to the United States of America as "'Mercia."

See how her tummy looks a lot rounder than it usually does? It kind of looks like it's sitting right under her boobs.

Like it would if she had a baby bump.

Of course, it could just be a weird angle or the way she's sitting.

But it's worth noting that Jenelle has a history of being very secret and deceptive about her pregnancies.

When she was pregnant with Ensley, there were rumors for literal months before she finally confirmed it -- and she denied each and every one.

We even saw her deny the pregnancy to Teen Mom 2 producers, who'd seen footage of Jenelle and David talking about it in their car.

And when she finally did confirm the rumors, she had a very, very visible bump.

She doesn't have to announce something so personal until she's ready, obviously, but we do know that she's willing to lie about it.

That means that, even if she does deny this new round of rumors, we can't believe her for several months until either a new baby pops out or it doesn't.

Hey, at least this girl gives us something to talk about, we guess?

Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Rejected By Their Own Church?!

If you watch Counting On online, you know that Jill Duggar and her husband, Derick Dillard, spend much of the year living in an impoverished village in El Salvador.

The Dillards have been performing missionary work together since shortly after their wedding, and while their hearts may be in the right place, the couple's humanitarian efforts have generated numerous controversies.

Jill Duggar and Mr. Derick Dillard

From the time of their first trip to Central America, accusations that Jill and Derick were not qualified to work as missionaries were common on social media.

Jill's midwife certification proved to be bogus, and no recognized institution would grant the Dillards a license or funding to work as missionaries.

The couple's application to the International Mission Board was rejected, which means for the entire time they were in El Salvador, the Dillards weren't missionaries so much as they were reality stars filming abroad.

Jill and Derick may have been hoping to have their work recognized retroactively by the leaders of their church, but now it seems those hopes have been dashed.

Sources close to the Duggar family are confirming today that Jill and Derick have been turned down by the Southern Baptist Convention.

Jill and Derick Dillard for TLC

According to the SBC's guidelines, missionaries "must complete at least 12 college credit hours comprising three hours each of new testament survey, old testament survey, biblical or systematic theology, as well as elective courses in general ministry."

The Dillards did not meet any of those requirements.

Derick has an undergraduate degree in accounting, and Jill never attended college at all.

This means that neither the SBC nor the IMB funded Jill and Derick's time in South America, which begs the question: 

Where did the money come from?

Before their first trip, the Dillards were widely criticized for asking for money from fans in order to finance the expedition.

Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard and Israel Dillard

Numerous individuals and charitable organizations pointed out that the money would be better spent going directly to those in need, rather than to the Dillards, who don't appear to be strapped for cash.

Questions are now being raised concerning TLC's possible role in financing the Dillards' travels.

Many feel that viewers have the right to know if the network is actively influencing the events of the Duggars' lives, rather than simply documenting them.

Thus far, the network has not commented on the situation.

We'll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Tori Roloff Shares New Baby Pics, Best Wishes for Sister-in-Law

Tori Roloff is very excited about the baby currently in her life...

... and the baby about to be in her life.

As fans of Little People, Big World know very well by now, Tori and husband Zach are the VERY proud parents of a newborn son named Jackson Kyle.

His First Fourth

He was born on May 12 and the couple has spent nearly every day since gushing over their bundle of joy, while also being generous enough to share many photos of Jackson with the world.

Just a few days ago, for example, Tori joked that Jackson was going to be a ladies man, considering the adorable hooded sweatshirt he was rocking at the time, combined with this amazing look on his face.

Over the weekend, meanwhile, Tori attended a baby show held in honor of her sister-in-law, Audrey Roloff, who is expected her first child this September.

It's already been confirmed and announced that Audrey and Jeremy Roloff will welcome a precious girl this fall.

Sharing a beautiful photo of herself, her son and her expecting loved one on Instagram on Monday, Tori wrote the following caption in honor of the special occasion:

I am so thankful to get to walk through this moment of life with my sister.

@audreyroloff you are going to make such a wonderful Mom. I can't wait to meet my sweet niece and watch her and Jackson grow up together.

You looked stunning yesterday, and I hope you felt showered with love.

Tori and Audrey

Based on the photos (below) from Audrey's baby shower, we can't imagine any scenario in which she did not.

In the picture perfect picture above, Audrey is wearing a floor-length white dress and cradling her growing baby bump .. while Tori is in a knee-length, off-the-shoulder black dress and holding month-plus-old Jackson in her arms.

On the way home from Audrey's party, meanwhile, Tori snapped this brand new image of Jackson.

He's wearing a bowtie in it and we pretty much want to die of cuteness overload right here and right now as a result of staring at it:

"Today we got to celebrate Cousin Roloff! We can't wait to meet you baby girl!" wrote Tori as a caption.

In a Bowtie!

For her part, Audrey got engaged to Jeremy in March 2014 and married in September of that same year at Roloff Farms in Hillsboro, Oregon/

The TLC stars then announced in February that they were expecting their first child later this year.

And Audrey has been gushing about the experience for weeks on social media, talking up Jeremy and God and sharing several pregnancy photos while making it clear just how psyched she is to be a parent.

"As I get closer to meeting our precious baby girl, I am more and more in need of the reminded that the SAME POWER that conquered the grave lives inside of me!" Audrey said along with the following photograph, for example.

She continued: "And guess what? If you have received Him as your savior and submit to Him as Lord, you have access to that same powers too!

"If you let Him fill you and fuel you, He will ALWAYS empower you with MORE strength, energy, power, perservernce, creativity, ability, and love than you could ever muster up on your own."

Little People, Big World wrapped up Season 13 this month.

But we already know Season 14 is on tap and we can only assume Audrey's pregnancy will play a key role on new episodes this fall.

In the meantime, you can click around below and get a fun glimpse at all the fun that went down during Audrey's baby shower over the weekend.

Ed Sheeran: This is Why I Left Twitter!

$

Ed Sheeran's great music speaks for itself, but did you know that he's also too precious and sensitive for this world?

Well, too much for Twitter, anyway. 

He says that he's done with the social media platform ... because people are being too mean.

Ed Sheeran at Billboard Music Awards

"I've actually come off Twitter completely. I can't read it."

Ed Sheeran explains that he quit Twitter because he couldn't stand the vile comments anymore.

"I go on it and there's nothing but people saying mean things."

He's probably not talking about the quasi-universal experience of going on Twitter and getting the occasional bit of hate.

He's a celebrity, so he's not talking about the occasional nasty tweet about a political event.

For someone of Ed Sheeran's level of fame, we're talking about endless vitriol because countless people tweet at him on a daily basis.

So a chunk of that is going to be hateful, and if he keeps checking his mentions, he's going to see a lot of nasty things.

"The head-f--k for me has been trying to work out why people dislike me so much."

The thing is that people probably don't dislike him.

So if someone tweets that, like, "he looks like pubes" or whatever, they're probably just joking about him because he's a celebrity and they don't really expect him to see it.

A bigger factor, of course, is trolls.

Trolls love to get a negative reaction because it makes them feel better about themselves.

So of course they'd love to hear that they really get under his skin.

And it sounds like it absolutely does.

"One comment ruins your day."

Ed Sheeran Snapshot

That's kind of interesting, considering the optimistic image that he projects.

Taylor Swift herself has talked about his unfailing innocence:

She said that Sheeran is: "protected by an impenetrable and ever-present armor of enthusiasm that has helped him endure any setback, letdown or underestimation."

But Twitter can wear you down.

Not because of anything inherent to Twitter except that it connects people.

It's people who can wear you down.

Give them a hint of anonymity and a connection to someone famous and they'll just go off.

Ed Sheeran Wins!

To be clear, there are absolutely countermeasures that people can take if they're being bullied online.

And we don't mean "just getting off of the internet."

If drivers on the road are unsafe, you can't just advise people to "get off the road."

They need to go on the road to live their lives.

The same is true of using the internet.

For a lot of more sensitive celebs, avoiding seeing hate just means not checking their mentions.

Non-celebrities can always just lock their accounts.

Actually, Olivia Newton-John's daughter Chloe Lattanzi's locked her account on Instagram.

So celebs can do it, too, though most wouldn't take that option.

Then there's always the option of having an assistant tweet on your behalf as if it were you.

But while there's no real way of knowing exactly how many stars tweet for themselves, it's pretty clear that they need PR skills and thick skin to be successful on Twitter.

Not everybody gets to be Chrissy Teigen. Sadly.

Ed Sheeran at Grammy Awards

Now, Ed Sheeran's social media accounts aren't going to vanish into the night or whatever.

His Instagram account will keep automatically generating tweets.

That's kind of an extreme move, and you can't help but feel sorry that he felt that it was necessary.

Kind of makes you wonder what happened with Melania Trump's vow to combat cyberbullying, huh?

Blac Chyna: Rob Kardashian Beat Me, Forced Me to Stay Silent

Earlier today, Rob Kardashian took to social media to fire some shocking allegations at his former fiancee, Blac Chyna.

Rob claimed Blac cheated on him while they were together and bizarrely taunted him with video evidence of her sleeping with other men after they broke up.

He also accused her of being addicted to cocaine and ecstasy, using him for his fame and money, and skipping their daughter's first Fourth of July celebration in order to do drugs and have sex with an aspiring rapper who goes by the name of Ferrari.

Needless to say, the allegations could prove highly damaging to Blac's reputation.

So it's not surprising that she wasted no time in firing back.

But it is surprising that she's responded with some very serious allegations that could land Rob in legal trouble.

Chyna took to Snapchat to deny Rob's infidelity and drug use accusations.

She went on to claim that he physically assaulted her during their time together.

chynas reply

In the post pictured above, Blac wrote:

"Rob u did all this but beat me up and try to act it never happen !!!!! U put hand on me I swear on god !!!!! On my kids but I'm supposed to be quiet because you're a Kardashian

Rob has yet to respond to the allegations of physical abuse.

But it doesn't look as though he'll be ending his social media assault on Blac's reputation any time soon.

Rob even went so far as to threaten Chyna with never seeing their daughter again, writing:

"U will never see Dream again unless stop the alcohol and drugs and cocaine and X and E. lol. That's called a party pack."

Rob Kardashian & Blac Chyna Throwback Photo

Rob claims to have personally supplied Blac with hard drugs both during their relationship and after their breakup.

Bizarrely, Rob and Blac reportedly had sex just two weeks ago and sources say the former couple been enjoying an amicable breakup/co-parenting relationship before Rob's tirade this morning.

According to TMZ Rob lost his temper upon learning that Blac had been hooking up with Ferrari for "several months" and decided to take to social media to allege not only that she was an unfit mother, but also that she had been lying about receiving plastic surgery post-pregnancy.

Rob and Blac broke up back in December amidst allegations that she had physically assaulted him, but they've reconciled several times since.

We'll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.


Lindsay Lohan: Come On! Stop Bullying Donald Trump!

$

Lindsay Lohan and Donald Trump have a lot in common.

Both have appeared in movies. Both are considered mentally unstable by a wide swath of well-informed individuals.

And both have been on their knees in front of powerful Russian men over the past year or so.

Lindsay Lohan on a Plane

Lohan, of course, was engaged to Egor Tarabasov for a number of months before that relationship ended on a very sour note... while Trump and Vladimir Putin are friends with many mysterious and frightening benefits.

So it makes sense overall that Lohan would be a pretty big fan of the Commander-in-Chief.

She'll need someone to executive produce her Russian Netflix series, after all, and Trump may very well soon be in search of a new job.

The troubled actress therefore came to the defense of Trump after someone Tweeted an image of a Breitbart article in which the President said he would be “delighted” to assist Charlie Gard, a critically-ill British baby that the European Court of Human Rights determined was too sick to help with experimental medicine.

Critics acknowledged this was a nice gesture by Trump, but also a rather hollow one.

It's difficult not to see some irony in Trump's Gard Tweet when juxtaposed with a health care plan he supports that would take insurance away from 22 million people.

“THIS IS our president,” Lohan Tweeted on Monday in response to the negative attention Trump often received.

She added: “Stop #bullying him & start trusting him. Thank you personally for supporting #THEUSA.”

Lindsay Lohan tweets

As you can see abive, Lohan went on to praise the First Family - including First Lady Melania Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump and son Donald Trump Jr. - as “kind people.”

She also asked a profound question as part of her timeline:

“As an American, why speak poorly of anyone?”

That's a good and fair question. Perhaps she ought to direct it to Donald Trump.

This isn’t the first time ex-Mean Girls star has stood up for the President, either.

During a Facebook Live Q&A session for the Daily Mail in February, she urged Americans to “join" the man who wants to beat and bludgeon reporters.

POTUS

"I think always in the public eye you’re going to get scrutinized,” she said at the time, adding:

“He is the president - we have to join him. If you can’t beat him, join him."

Kevin Durant may appreciate and agree with that sentiment, but many lawmakers out there likely read Lohan's words with a puzzled look on their faces, asking:

Okay, sure. That's great. But what if we can beat back his wildly legislation? Do we still need to join him?

Back in 2004, Trump spoke to Howard Stern about Lohan.

He agreed with the shock jock's assessment back then that Lindsay was "hot," delving deeply into the reason why.

"There’s something there right?” said Trump to Stern. “But you have to like freckles. I’ve seen a, you know, close up of her chest and a lot of freckles.

"Are you into freckles?

This at least explains why Lohan likes Trump so much.

This and what we hinted at strongly at the outset of this post:

Both stars have sucked a great deal of Russian penis.

Stevie Ryan: Teen Mom Stars React to Shocking Suicide

Just a couple of days ago, we learned that comedian and fellow Teen Mom trash talker Stevie Ryan had been found dead inside her home.

She was only 33 years old.

Stevie Ryan Snapshot

Shortly after the news broke that she'd passed, we learned that police at the scene described her death as an apparent suicide by hanging.

As heartbreaking as it was to hear, it wasn't entirely unexpected -- Stevie's been open about her struggle with depression for a long time now.

In addition to her depression, she'd also revealed that her grandfather had passed away recently, which was very difficult for her.

In her last Twitter post, written on June 30th -- the day before she died -- she wrote "The man of my dreams will now only be in my dreams. I'll miss you everyday, forever. I love you my Pa."

It's all just so, so tragic, isn't it?

And several Teen Mom cast members are taking time to recognize it.

Stevie Ryan Image

In case you're not familiar with Stevie's connection to Teen Mom ... well, it goes way back.

Stevie, like many of us, couldn't rip her eyes away from all of the show's wonderful trashy drama, and she actually managed to work her way into the drama a couple of years ago.

In 2015, Nathan Griffith sent Stevie some private messages on Twitter, and like the hero she was, she shared them with us all.

In the messages, Nathan complained about his then-fiancee, Jenelle Evans, and he also flirted with her pretty hard.

Even though Stevie made those messages public, Jenelle still stayed with Nathan, and the two women became mortal enemies.

Stevie also inserted herself into the Teen Mom universe just a couple of weeks ago when she got into a Twitter fight with none other than Simon Saran.

Stevie Ryan Photo

It's a little tough to read now -- Simon mocked her body, which seems too sad considering the mental state she was apparently in at the time -- but it seemed like it was all in good fun.

After all, she did theorize that "Simon's tits look like a B or C cup."

Stevie also had a new podcast called Teen Mom Tea in which she recapped episodes and gave her opinions.

So with that in mind, check out the messages the cast members left in tribute to her.

"I know we pretty much hated each other," Jenelle admitted, "but I'm sorry you had to go so soon pretty girl. RIP."

Nathan tweeted "I'm lost for words. I'm sorry. I wish I could have been a friend you could have leaned on. Happiness awaits you."

Stevie Ryan

Simon simply wrote "RIP beautiful!" and retweeted a comment about how they'd "trolled each other," and "they were both hilarious."

Tyler Baltierra said "I'm so sad to hear about @StevieRyan I just talked to her about battling depression & she told me how proud she was of @CatelynnLowell."

Catelynn added "So sad..." and in hashtags she urged others who may be struggling to "please get help" and "seek out someone."

Chelsea Houska wrote that she was "So sad to see the news about @StevieRyan," and Kailyn Lowry tweeted "#rip Stevie Ryan."

Somehow, we think Stevie would be tickled to hear all these sweet messages.

Like the Teen Mom crew said ... rest in peace, Stevie.

Tupac Shakur Letter to Madonna: I Broke Up With You Because ...

$
0

Tupac Shakur lost his life after he was gunned down in a drive-by shooting in 1996, but his music and his legend have endured in a very powerful way.

We've heard Tupac's last words, but a jailhouse letter that Tupac wrote to Madonna is shedding new light on the one-time power couple.

Tupac Shirtless

Included in the letter is Tupac plainly stating the exact reason for which he broke up with Madonna and ended their relationship.

This is hardly the first time that Tupac's memory has been "celebrated" in a controversial manner.

We all remember the Tupac hologram that played at Coachella back in 2012.

Auctioning the very personal letters of a dead man is a complicated thing.

On the one hand, it doesn't get much more private than a "this is why I can't be with you" letter, right?

On the other hand, though, Tupac had zero legal expectation of privacy.

(Prison letters aren't private, folks.)

And glimpses into the life of a man taken before his time can be profoundly meaningful to fans.

Tupac Pic

The letter itself would have to be amazingly valuable to a collector, since the bidding is starting at $100,000.

(Tupac's last letter sold for more than $170,000)

But its value to fans and collectors might be very different from what it meant to Madonna.

Because Tupac broke up with Madonna because she was white, and he explains his exact reasoning:

"For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting."

He is, perhaps, showing a more optimistic view of the world than the world deserves.

Racists exist even in the most ostensibly accepting groups, and that includes among the fans of musicians.

Madonna in Blue

(Remember that some white porn actresses are hesitant to film scenes with black men because some studios will use that as an excuse to pay them less. The world is gross.)

And while there are for sure some people who'd really give bonus points (especially back then) to a white woman who's dating a black man, there'd be others who are "fine in theory" with black men but don't like interracial dating.

(Because they're racist.)

"But for me at least in my previous perception I felt due to my 'image' I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was."

That is so complicated, but it's kind of true.

You know how racism and sexism are both terrible?

Well, those two issues intersect for black women, who are impacted by both, which causes society to devalue them in the grossest ways.

2 Pac

In response to some black men who sing the praises of dating white women (these days, it's guys who "want to find themselves a Kylie Jenner"), there are some black women who are resentful when famous black men have white wives.

People in real life just fall in and out of love and either do or do not date, but it's easy to see how a pattern like that could look like men like Tupac think that they're "trading up."

Like we said ... it's all very complicated.

Tupac must have worried that many of his fans who were black women would see his dating Madonna as a betrayal.

But clearly Tupac was aware of the effect of choosing his fans over Madonna.

"I never meant to hurt you."

Madonna has spoken about Tupac before, so some would see this letter as another opportunity for Tupac's own voice to be heard.

Tupac, Mother

The rest of the letter is all directed at Madonna, though we can't see all of it.

We guess that blurring some parts of it makes sense.

It's going to be auctioned -- seeing the full text would lower its value for prospective buyers, you know?

But we do see Tupac talk about how Madonna had hurt his feelings after their breakup.

He also cautions her that not everyone is as nice as they seem, which is pretty good advice for anyone.

And it is a prison letter, so he invites her to visit him so that they can talk face-to-face.

The auction starts in a couple of weeks.

Most people, obviously, can't spend a small house to buy a letter, no matter who wrote it.

Those of us who hope to know the letter's full contents will just hope that Martin Shkreli doesn't buy it to keep it all for himself.

Rob Kardashian: Will He Face Revenge Porn Charges?!?

$
0

Rob Kardashian may be having a lot of fun right now, exposing Blac Chyna for being an allegedly dishonest, wannabe prostitute...

... but legal minds are wondering whether the reality star will face serious consequences for his actions.

Rob Kardashian with His Dream

As previously reported in amazing/hilarious/deeply disturbing detail, Kardashian absolutely blasted his baby mama on Wednesday morning.

The reality star shared alleged text messages from the men Chyna has been screwing behind his back, along with a video Chyna supposedly sent him of some dude kissing her face and mouth.

In a series of scathing Instagram posts and captions, Rob tore Chyna apart.

He accused her of abusing drugs... and getting tons of plastic surgery that he paid for... and of sleeping with various men in the bed she formerly shared with him.

Most specifically and angrily, however, Rob slammed Chyna again and again for having sex with these partners while HAVING JUST HAD SEX WITH HIM, writing such statement as:

"So this one of the dudes @blacchyna was f-cking literally a day after I smashed and came inside her."

And adding in a separate post:

"At least I smashed first but I'm hoping I didn't get U pregnant again when u told me to cum inside u. I'm a damn fool why the f-ck would i cum inside u."

Blac Chyna Gets Kissed

Along with these irate words, however, Rob initially shared photos of Chyna's butt (to show off the result of the surgery he said he paid for), boobs (ditto) and vagina (to prove that she sent him a picture of this body part in an attempt to seduce him).

He has since deleted the VERY racy images, but did he violate California law by posting them in the first place?

Quite possibly, an attorney tells Entertainment Weekly.

"This is sort of the classic, quintessential revenge porn,” Carrie Goldberg, lawyer and founder of Internet abuse and sexual consent firm C. A. Goldberg, PLLC tells EW, explaining:

“Rob has made the work of a prosecutor or a victim’s attorney quite easy so far as to even post about the very motive behind his outrageous act of posting these private and nude photos of his ex."

Alongside the naked images, Rob accused Chyna of infidelity.

And legislation passed in California in 2013 states that "a person who intentionally distributes the image of the intimate body part of another ... knowing they'll cause emotional distress" is guilty of a misdemeanor that can punishable by up to six months in jail.

pic chyna sent me

"The allegation of infidelity does not give someone the right to seek revenge in such a devastating way," Goldberg says.

Chyna has accused Kardashian of physical abuse, upping the ante in this chapter version of their never-ending feud.

But she also Liked some of his NSFW pictures on Instagram, making it difficult for her to later claim she suffered emotional distress as a result of his actions.

It also seems unlikely that Chyna would actually go to the police and file a report against Rob, which would need to happen in order for him to face revenge porn charges.

So we doubt Kardashian will face any legal repercussions as a result of his photograph-based rant, which also included allegations that Chyna had a threesome with Tiny and T.I.

However, someone close to Rob probably just told him that anything is possible.

He's likely been warned that he may have crossed some lines.

How do we know? Because Rob just deleted his Instagram account.

Yes, again.

What a tool.

Madison Beer: Here's Why I Stayed with Jack Gilinsky After Emotional Abuse!

So, YouTuber Madison Beer was "discovered" by Justin Bieber a few years back, and she recently made headlines when audio leaked of her then-boyfriend, fellow YouTuber Jack Gilinsky, berating her with a series of vile insults that everyone was quick to point out constituted emotional abuse.

In a now-deleted post to her fans and followers, Madison Beer spoke out and explained why she stayed with Jack -- and issued a warning to her young followers about repeating her mistakes.

Madison Beer in White

When the initial audio recording broke, fans were outraged -- and others were worried.

Twitter even through one of its famous over-parties (as in, Jack Gilinsky Is Over).

Jack has since posted a huge apology, because that's what happens when people find out what sort of person you are.

A lot of people couldn't understand why Madison stayed with Jack so long.

It's easy to look at something like that and not understand how it went on.

But only people who've been in abusive relationships seem to truly understand.

Madison Beer, however, posted something that should hopefully help others to wrap their heads around why she stayed with Jack.

And no, it wasn't "because he's hot."

Jack Gilinsky

There's no amount of hotness that makes abuse of any kind okay.

Madison is only 18, but her now-deleted words show that she's grown into a level of wisdom that's beyond her years:

"This message is for my fans, friends, and people who have sent me so much love and support over these past few days. You guys being here for me has brightened my world more than you can ever know."

That's a good, tasteful start.

It's very likely that not all of Madison's friends and family had any idea of what was going on.

"Jack and I having to face this yet again has been so hard."

You might think that Jack would be the only one suffering now that this has come out, but many people who've been targets for abuse feel a serious sense of shame.

"Many of you [have been] asking me 'why would you stay with him if it happened last year?'"

That's always the question, but Madison does a fairly good job of explaining it.

"My theory was, and as horrible as this is, is that if I left him, he'd do it to the next girl. I tried to fix him."

That's how it happens. Love, a desire to fix them, a desire to protect others. It doesn't work out so well.

Madison Beer in a Hat

"We have both grown and changed so much at this point and it has been an extremely difficult to relive/even go through what you have all heard in the first place and I hope ALL my fans learn from my foolishness."

We don't think that it was foolish -- just naive.

She doesn't need to be blaming herself, basically.

"If someone is mistreating you in ANY way please speak up."

That is such a good message.

Notice how she keeps it vague and isn't just talking about verbal abuse. We'll get to that.

"It is NEVER okay and I was blinded by love and much too afraid to come out and say anything in fear I would be broken up with/not taken seriously by someone I told."

That's the fear that holds everyone down.

Unfortunately, as we all know from the world's reaction to Amber Heard, people fearing that they won't be believed is far too often justified.

People are still defending Johnny Depp after those Amber Heard text messages came out, so yeah.

"SPEAK UP. Don't make the same mistakes I did, your safety is never worth it. No matter what, nobody deserves to be treated that way. You deserve the world and respect from EVERYONE and ANYONE. Be strong and thank you again."

Madison Beer Drinks Something "Peachy"

The fact that she kept her wording so vague about the nature of her mistreatment, and her use of the word "safety," could have two meanings.

One could be that she's just speaking to fans and knows that people go through all kinds of abuse. A lot of her fans are young enough to be abused by parents or teachers.

Some also wonder if she might have been referring to the situation with Jack Gilinsky escalating beyond verbal abuse.

That's sort of a reach, but the fact that Madison deleted the post only adds fuel to that speculation.

We're glad that she's in a better place now.

We're even gladder that she's using her horrible experiences to educate her fans.
