Parenting Lessons From Teen Mom 2: Double Punch To The Gut

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 10:11 AM PST

Last night was two back-to-back episodes of Teen Mom 2… oh really, MTV, you shouldn’t have. It wasn’t possible to cram all of the drama into just 44 minutes, since every couple was fighting while their poor kids played in the corner, hopefully oblivious.

I have had it up to here with Jenelle, though I was interested to see that Kieffer is capable of having a mature conversation about family and relationships. (Too bad she can’t.) We started to see more concrete cracks in Leah and Corey‘s marriage when they discovered that Ali may have a skeletal disorder. Chelsea and Adam are fighting a lot, too; something’s changed from last week, and suddenly he’s back to being unreliable and unsympathetic. Then you have Kailyn, who continues to burn bridges with Jo‘s family when she decides to unexpectedly spring a request for child support on him.

JENELLE

DO: Resist temptation

I’m sure there are plenty of parents who cut back on smoking habits for their kids’ health, or simply not to set a bad example. Jenelle’s motivation for not smoking — weed, not cigarettes — is because she and Kieffer have a court date and she has to be clean.

DO: Communicate

The single greatest scene of the two episodes was when Kieffer and Jenelle sit down to talk about their tumultuous relationship. (Too bad it happened like ten minutes in.) She’s decided that she missed him while he was in jail, despite pressing charges on him for hitting her. Kieffer confesses that his family never sat down and just talked things out, which is why it’s tough for him to do that with Jenelle.

DON’T: Be petty

Right when it seems like things are on the mend, Kieffer gets pissy that Jenelle’s been texting with an ex while he was in jail. After he sees a text message suggesting they hang out, he decides that he wants out. Seriously, dude? Have some perspective.

DO: Put your kid’s needs ahead of your own

I don’t know if Jenelle is ever going to grasp this lesson, because every episode we see her wallowing in self-pity while Barbara takes Jace out because she can’t trust her daughter to watch him for even a few minutes. She needed to leave the house and pay a sewer bill, and Jenelle couldn’t be bothered to get out of bed and look at her son instead of her phone. Instead, all she did was cry about how Kieffer wouldn’t pick up; then when Barbara criticized her, Jenelle took it really hard and devolved into screaming.

DON’T: Embarrass yourself

These girls already have the decks stacked against them in terms of reputation: They’re teenagers who were stupid enough to get knocked up and have now thrown their lives out of whack trying to raise kids. Why, then, would Jenelle think it would help her case to be chasing after Kieffer in his car and screeching at him to talk to her? Especially since Kieffer breaks up with her, saying, “You definitely ain’t ready to be my girlfriend.”

On the same note, can we reflect on Barbara’s sage advice for Jenelle’s court date? “Whatever you do, don’t lie… Don’t put your glasses on top of your head… Don’t talk…” Hilarious.

Halle Berry Is Engaged To Actor Olivier Martinez

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 09:42 AM PST

Congratulations are in order today for Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez, who, if Us Weekly is to be believed, got engaged over the holidays. According to “a rep from the jeweler [Gurhan],” Martinez presented Berry with a “one of a kind” emerald and diamond ring, which she allegedly accepted. The 45-year-old actress has been married twice before, first to baseball player David Justice (1993-1997) and then to R&B singer Eric Benet (2001-2003), and has an adorable 3-year-old daughter with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry (a fine choice of DNA, if I do say so myself). Berry and Martinez met on the set of the film Dark Tide, an action film about swimming with great white sharks that looks like it could be the next Deep Blue Sea. You may remember Martinez from such fine films as Unfaithful and that’s probably it.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Halle Berry’s taste in men? It’s almost as if she cares about handsomeness as much as we do. And such a valuable U.S. export getting with two French dudes in a row can only be good for trans-Atlantic relations.

Hostess Files For Bankruptcy: A List Of The Products We’ll Miss

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 09:32 AM PST

It’s a sad day for Twinkie the Kid. Hostess Brands Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection this morning to “confront burdensome debt and labor costs that the Twinkies and Wonder Bread baker says have left it fighting to compete.

It was in Indianapolis in 1925 when Hostess got it start thanks to Continental Baking Company buying out a local bakery named Taggart. At the time Taggart was selling a “popular new bread” called Wonder ® and it was time to take it national. But what’s bread without cake? It’s like life without sun. So the company created Hostess to take care of the cake end of things. In 1930, Twinkies were invented by Jimmy Dewar and waistbands have been on the rise ever since.

Although it’s been a long time since I’ve indulged in any Hostess products, my palate has a memory–a long one–so here are the sweet treats that we, once upon a time, loved best.

Breaking News: Khloe Isn’t Exactly A Kardashian

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 09:21 AM PST

Perhaps it’s not breaking news because anyone who’s even remotely aware of the Kardashians can attest to the fact that Khloe is really the best sister. For one, she doesn’t sound like an idiot when she talks, which means she definitely has some brains. And have you noticed her body next to the other two? She’s this curvy Amazonian woman who easily has a good four inches on Kim and Kourtney. She also seems to be far more compassionate than your average Kardashian.

Now the late Robert Kardashian‘s ex-wives have come forward to say that not only did Robert suspect that Khloe wasn’t his, but that it’s common knowledge in the family because Kris and he were not sleeping together at the time Ms. Khloe was conceived.

According to Jan Ashley, Kardashian’s second wife: “Khloe is not his kid. He told me that after we got married.” Well, well. Kris Jenner has been cheatin’. Not at all shocking considering the ongoing deceitfulness of that clan, or rather “klan.”

Khloe has always been aware of the differences, too. Kardashian’s third (and final) wife, Ellen Kardshian claims that growing up Khloe was constantly addressing the issue as she obviously towered over the other three and wondered where the hell they came from.

What we have here is just further proof that Kris Jenner isn’t exactly wife or mother of the year. You know, because having your daughter file for divorce the same week your book comes out wasn’t enough. Also, it sounds like Robert Kardashian’s other wives aren’t much better, considering they came out of nowhere to leak this “news” to the press.

But if anyone wins, it’s Khloe. More power to her if she’s not actually a Kardashian.

Amber Rose Promotes Her New Single ‘Fame’ By Calling Kim Kardashian A ‘Homewrecker’

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 09:02 AM PST

Amber Rose and Wiz Khalifa, collaborators on her single FameThe weird Amber Rose/Kim Kardashian feud over whether Kim hooked up with Kanye West no longer seems to be about Amber “getting it off her chest” and more about the model-turned-singer promoting her new single, “Fame.” It’s suspicious timing because Amber calling Kim a “homewrecker” plays into a larger narrative about the perils of fame; as Amber explained, “The song represents the ups and downs of fame and lets people know that it's not all it's cracked up to be.”

To recap: Last week, Amber said that not only did Kim break up her and Kanye, but Kim was openly dating Reggie Bush at the time of the affair. “She was sending pictures, and I was like, 'Kim, just stop. Don't be that person,’” Amber told Star. “I thought at least she'd be woman enough to respond to me.  She never responded.”

But Amber appears to have had a change of heart this week, because she told TMZ that she regrets lashing out at Kim — who never responded — like that. Insisting that she’s not a mean-spirited person, Amber said, “I actually feel bad that I called [Kim] a homewrecker… ’cause that was kind of mean. I forgive her… and I forgive Kanye too… it’s not a big deal, you know.”

That’s an unexpectedly mature and clean-cut way to stitch up the beginnings of a Hollywood feud, which is why we think the whole reveal was carefully planned to correlate with Amber’s release of “Fame.” Sure, the trope of fame not being all it’s cracked up to be is fairly common, but consider these tweets from when Amber first accused Kim:

I know there has been a lot of rumors circulating the internet today. After being asked the same questions over and over in every interview for so long i had to be honest and get this off my chest … I don't lie, i don't embellish I'm not trying to hurt anyone just setting the record straight. #FAME is a Crazy thing But I'm so thankful…

Kim Kardashian accused of having an affair with Kanye WestAll of her subsequent tweets have the #FAME hashtag, which is now synonymous with the Kim/Kanye debacle. It’s a smart move, but not the most subtle one. It seems like this was all planned to start a week before her single drops, and to wrap up now that everyone’s talking about the other “Fame.”

However, Amber maintains that the experience led her over to her true love (and collaborator), Wiz Khalifa: “I want to thank her,” she admitted when all this blew up. “Because if she was never a homewrecker, then I never would have met Wiz, and I wouldn’t be as happy as I am now.” You mean, you wouldn’t have a hit single right now.

Justin Bieber And Lana Del Rey’s Faces Make For A Terrifying Mash-Up

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 08:22 AM PST

The most disturbing part of this face mash-up, for me, is how realistic it looks. Like Justin Bieber somehow came into contact with Lana Del Rey and they got drunk and made a baby together. 18 years later, here it is, all grown and sexy. Apparently, all you really need to do to make Biebs look like Lana is pump his lips up, sharpen his nose, and give him those weird Natalie Portman eyebrows that don’t arch. What kind of ear-shattering squawk would this unholy hybrid produce? Let’s hope we never have to find out.

Steve Austin Will Give Tim Tebow His Famous 3:16 Numbers… Under One Condition

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 06:20 AM PST

Even though I’m agnostic, I have to credit the Bible with bringing together a WWF icon and a Christian football player. See, it turns out that Tim Tebow is linked to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin by the same set of numbers: Both have worn 3:16 in relation to their brands. Tebow sports the Bible verse John 3:16 — For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life – on his eye-black while on the field. And astonishingly, on Sunday’s game he threw a toss exactly 316 yards.

This cosmic coincidence was not lost on Austin, who created a fake Bible verse in the ’90s as a kind of victory dance in the ring. Though less flowery than John, it still gets the point across: Austin 3:16 says I just whupped your ass! Now, Austin is willing to pass along his fabled numbers to Tebow… as long as the kid can do one thing.

Austin told TMZ, ”Austin 3:16 still rules, [but] if Tebow can throw for 316 yards again this weekend then hell, he can have the numbers and I’ll have no problem with it. A guy named John was using it before me … so if Tebow can do it again, more power to him!”

Lest you think this is some remake of Bedazzled and Austin is the devil in disguise trying to test Tebow, he added, ”I wish him all the luck in the world. I’m not a Denver fan, but Tim’s a great role model for kids.”

6 Ways To Make Watching Ricky Gervais Host The Golden Globes Less Uncomfortable

Posted: 11 Jan 2012 07:47 AM PST

In American we don’t have royalty. Instead we have celebrities who think they’re royalty. And the royals of this country do not liked to be fucked with or made fun of–that shit doesn’t fly with them. So when the 2011 Golden Globes let comedian Ricky Gervais pour his fiery insults on the egos of the Hollywood elite it seemed obvious that he’d, as they say, “never work in this town again.” Much to the disappointment of actors everywhere, especially third rate ones like Tim Allen, Gervais has been allowed to come back for more.

Yeah!

Someone needs to kick the pedestal out from those self-righteous Hollywood folks and as we learned last year, Gervais is the perfect man for the job. However, even his biggest fans have to admit that there were definitely some uncomfortable moments during the awards. Not because of Ricky, but because Hollywood does not like to be mocked. They’re all serious actors who should be respected and bowed down to and if you do not do so, then you’re a bad person. You’re a person who doesn’t understand their craft or how difficult it is to be them. It’s really trying being a celebrity, OK? So the last thing these people need is some witty Brit taking a stab at them with every breath he takes.

Since he has been invited to come back after last year’s show that left a lot of us squirming, yet begging for more, it’s safe to assume Gervais is going to take things to a whole new level. In preparation for such events, we have compiled a few ways to deal with any of those moments where things get a bit tense. Sure you could just not watch, but like a car crash that could possibly scar you, you just can’t help but be compelled to stare in delighted horror.
