‘Being Dad: A Teen Mom Special’ Exclusive: Jo Rivera Says He’s ‘Misunderstood’

by 06/09/14

Jo Rivera, Ryan Edwards and Corey Simms shared glimpses of their day-to-day lives and opened up about their evolving relationships with their significant others on last night’s “Being Dad: A Teen Mom” special. And, of course, the “Teen Mom” and “Teen Mom 2” dads shared some sweet moments with their adorable kiddies, too.

Jo was feeling some pressure: his longtime girlfriend Vee wants to get married, move to Florida so she can start her own daycare and start their own family. But Kailyn Lowry-Marroquin‘s ex admitted that he isn’t ready for a lifelong commitment and relocating…much to Vee’s dismay.

“You make me feel like I’m not worthy to be with in the future,” she said tearfully during dinner with Jo and his son Isaac.

In the exclusive clip below, Jo also addresses his critics, saying he has “absolutely” felt misunderstood. But he admits that it can be a challenge for others to understand his views and behavior — if you don’t have all the 411.

“You guys don’t know me, so I don’t blame you for misunderstanding the way I act and the way I am towards certain situations,” he says.

Meanwhile, Ryan, aka Maci Bookout‘s former beau, contemplated leaving his parents’ house and moving into a new home with his longtime girlfriend Shelby. But there’s an obstacle: his son Bentley is unsure about the impending change and not spending as much time with his grandparents. Ryan explained to his boy that he will “still get to see everybody,” but Bentley ...

Explaining The ‘Edge Of Tomorrow’ Ending

by 06/09/14

“Edge of Tomorrow” may not have found the huge summer audience that its producers were hoping for, but the Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt-led sci-fi action movie already has a dedicated group of fans, now eagerly debating the film’s ending.

SPOILERS AHEAD

As you know if you’ve seen “Edge of Tomorrow” (and you should if you haven’t), Cage and Rita take J-squad along with them on a last-ditch assault on the Omega, which is hiding deep under the Louvre. In short, everyone dies, including Cage, but not before getting covered in Omega blood and regaining his reset ability.

Cage wakes up, of course, but he’s in the helicopter — where we first met him. He’s gone further back than ever before, and the Omega has stayed dead. Huh?

Watching the every end of “Edge of Tomorrow,” I more or less accepted the ending at face value, acknowledging that it didn’t necessarily make sense but also that I didn’t really care. The movie is awesome.

But redditor HanzoSteel has posted an explanation for the ending. HanzoSteel points to the timing of the final assault on the Omega at the Louvre as the key to making any sense of it.

The first thing to remember is that Cage has left the “Wake up, maggot” loop behind him. There is nothing tying him back to that sequence of events, which started when the Alpha bleeds on him at the beach. Cage and Rita lead the assault the night before the beach invasion, and when he’s ...

‘Alpha-Male’ Bear To Be Castrated For Having Too Much Sex

by 06/09/14

Guys, let this be a lesson to you: Always use protection — or else you could face some painful consequences.

Pyros, a 26-year-old brown bear in the Pyrenees mountains between Spain and France, was living large by mating with every female bear around. Unfortunately, he’s now related to the entire next generation — and if he keeps breeding, it would threaten the colony’s genetic diversity through incest (and we all know where incest leads). So, for the good of his species, Pyros’s furry balls must be chopped.

“If he keeps up this sexual vigor and dominant attitude for a few more years, the other males in the mountains have no chance of mating with any of the females,” a wildlife official told Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.

None of those other males have fathered a single cub in over 20 years, because Pyros is just too much of a stud. Brown bears normally lose their libidos around 19, but Pyros’s thirst just can’t be quenched.

However, officials are considering two other possibilities: 1) leaving Pyros alone, because he’s reaching the age when females will find him less attractive — losing his teeth and slowing down (unless he is like Jack Nicholson, in which case that will never happen)– and 2) exiling him to a bear sanctuary to live a sexless, lonely existence, because, even decrepit and sterilized, he may be too much of a c*ck-blocker for his species’ own good.

The ‘Teen Wolf’ Season 4 Trailer, By The Numbers

by 06/09/14

As they say, there’s no rest for the wicked. And while Beacon Hills has been to hell and back (and suffered the loss of one of its most noble heroes, Allison Argent, along the way) a new breed of evil is already poised to strike. Here’s hoping Scott McCall and his “Teen Wolf” friends can pick their heads up quickly.

In the trailer for the show’s fourth season, which premieres on June 23 at 10/9c, a resurrected Kate Argent and a mysterious being known as The Benefactor both threaten to tear the small town apart once again. But can our favorite supernatural/human-hybrid wolfpack stand their ground? See what’s to come, and take a more critical look at the clip, with our by-the-numbers handbook:

Severed heads: 1
Who’s now sans a noggin in Beacon Hills? It’s hard to tell, but we’re suddenly yearning for turtlenecks.

Missing lips: 2
Is this the mysterious Benefactor? If he’s as rich as his name indicates, he should consider some elective surgery.

Instances in which Lydia looks seriously distraught: 3
Beacon Hills’ favorite banshee is back, but she doesn’t seem too happy. When she gets that look on her face, you know death is just around the corner.

Lacrosse stick sightings: 4
The Oni ensured we didn’t see much of Beacon Hills’ finest athletes last season, but it looks like there’s plenty of action to come in Season 4 — even Kira appears to have taken up the sport.

A Kurt Cobain-Inspired YA Novel? Yes Please. Check Out ‘Dirty Wings’

by 06/09/14

If you’re a YA fan who is currently looking to read the polar opposite of “The Fault In Our Stars,” well, do we have a book for you: “Dirty Wings,” by Sarah McCarry.

The prequel to McCarry’s debut YA novel — punk-rock “Orpheus and Eurydice” retelling, “All Our Pretty Songs” — “Dirty Wings” tells the tale of a pair of teenage runaways: ragged, streetwise Cass and her piano prodigy friend Maia. A tangled, unconventional love story, the book follows the two as they find themselves going deeper and deeper into a world of music and evil — along with Maia’s Kurt Cobain-proxy lover — from which they may not be able to extricate themselves.

In case you’re not up on your Nirvana lyrics, both “All Our Pretty Songs” and “Dirty Wings” reference the grunge band in their titles — and with the aforementioned Kurt Cobain proxy who sells his soul to make music and ends up taking his own life.

Intrigued yet?

The book officially drops on July 15, but you can get an exclusive sneak-peek below. Three guesses why we chose this section…

Dirty Wings

Later, they make popcorn and watch MTV, a thing Maia has never done. “What do you mean, you’ve never seen MTV?” Cass says, horrified.

“I’m not really allowed,” Maia says.

“Princess, you are seventeen.”

“You met my mom.”

“I did, yes.” Cass shakes her head. Maia is astonished by the music videos, the men in tight pants moving against animated backdrops. A man eats cereal at a round table ...

Or do you try and move on with your life, aware in your heart that something within you has irreversibly changed after witnessing the events above. There are two chapters to your life now: Before “Music Man” Rap and After “Music Man” Rap.

You Won’t Believe What Leah Calvert Did To Her Hair

by 06/09/14

Leah Calvert is learning to take chances in beauty school.

The “Teen Mom 2” cast member, who’s studying cosmetology as we speak, has always been adventurous when it comes to trying out new makeup. But for someone so obsessed with style, she hasn’t veered much from her trademark ‘do — long and lovely.

Leah before the chop!Leah Messer's Facebook

Until now. This weekend, scissors were flying as Leah got a stunningly short cut and shared the results on her official Facebook page. That’s right: She shaved her head. Totally kidding.

Wowzah! Leah after cutting it all off. Leah Messer's Facebook

She did, however, lose a lot of length, and from the looks of it, all of her signature waves and curls. So what do we think of her brand-new, stacked ‘n angled bob? It absolutely suits her, making Leah look beyond sophisticated. She’s a pretty lucky lady to be able to rock the Rapunzel look and try out more cutting-edge stuff like this.

Think she’s having any regrets now that she’s taken the plunge? We’re betting that she doesn’t, but tell us what you think!

John Oliver And Right Said Fred Rewrite ‘I’m Too Sexy’ For Syria’s Dictator

by 06/09/14

There’s no way to sugarcoat it: Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is a brutal dictator who recently won reelection in what can only be described as a rigged vote and who has overseen a deadly three-year crackdown on the popular uprising in his country that has killed 100,000 and displaced millions.

Clearly he’s not going away and that’s frustrating. “Last Week Tonight” host John Oliver feels powerless in the face of Assad’s iron-fisted rule, so he did the only thing he can reasonably hope to do to at least tweak the Syrian strongman during his Sunday night HBO show: he made fun of his terrible musical taste.

You see, Assad, once a promising optometrist and volleyball lover who was pressed into the family business by his brother’s death in 1994, was outed in leaked e-mails two years ago as a lover of pop music. Among his favorite iTunes downloads? “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO and … wait for it, “I’m Too Sexy” by bald and beautiful British 1990s one-hit wonders Right Said Fred.

“Yes, he’s a monster, but he’s also a moron,” Oliver said. “Which is why it’s so frustrating that we’re powerless to do anything to hurt him. If only there was something, however small, that we could do … I guess we could find something he loves and turn it against him. We could track down, let’s say, Right Said Fred, and we could, hypothetically, fly them all the way over here from London to perform a specially rewritten anti-Assad version ...

Kourtney Kardashian Confirms: ‘I’m Pregnant’

by 06/09/14

It’s official: Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant!

After rumors began circulating last week that the reality TV star was expecting, Kourtney confirmed the news during a super-tease that aired just after the season premiere of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” on Sunday.

Kourtney is seen telling her longtime boyfriend Scott Disick that she’s indeed expecting their third child. While sharing a moment together in their brand-new home, the oldest Karadshain sister simply says to Scott, “I’m pregnant.” Clearly, Scott wasn’t expecting the news because he just replies with a shocking, “What?”

The mom of 4-year-old Mason and 23-month-old Penelope then tells her mom, Kris Jenner, and sister Kim that the pregnancy was not planned. But they’re all ecstatic about the news.

Watching Kourtney’s baby bump grow won’t be the only thing fans have to look forward to on this season of “KUWTK” however. During the teaser, we see Kim prepping for her lavish wedding to Kanye West, trying on her custom Givenchy gown and heading to Thailand with her family for their annual vacation.

But this season will focus a lot on the end of certain relationships as well. We’ll see how Bruce and Kris get along following their split, as well as the fallout of Khloe’s divorce from Lamar and the beginning of her romance with rapper French Montana.

Rihanna’s Life Is Complete After Meeting Aaron Paul

by 06/09/14

If you needed proof that even Rihanna loses her sh– over celebrities. Badgal Rih Rih attended Spike TV’s Guys Choice Awards on Saturday night, where she was honored as the “Most Desirable Woman” — but something way more important than that also happened.

Rih enjoyed her time at the show, including some onstage laughs with Kevin Hart, but the highlight definitely seemed to be meeting “Breaking Bad” star Aaron Paul. When they ran into each other backstage, she posed for a pic with him and shared it along with the mildly enthusiastic caption, “My life has been completed!!!”

The 26-year-old is such a big fan of “Breaking Bad” and Aaron Paul’s character, Jesse Pinkman, that she even turned Drake onto the show. This means that Aaron Paul had a similar run-in with the Toronto rapper a few months ago, receiving a big hug the first time they met, along with the admission that Rih had gotten him addicted to the AMC show as well.
