ByLindsay

Is it just me or does it seem like every single contract signed by Jersey Shore star Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino turns out to be a grenade?

Top 3 potential Teen Mom 2 grandparent spin-off shows

ByAsa Hawks

Much like when the original Teen Mom series ended its run after four seasons, I’m sure people (and blogs) will be crazily speculating which Teen Mom 2 stars will be getting their own spin-off reality shows once it finishes up its run here in the next year or so. But before you default to wondering if viewers will be tuning in to Jeremy & Leah Plus Threeah, Chelsea Lately, Return To Oak Island, or Kailing Me Softly, let me remind you that this show has more than four stars — and I’m not talkin’ about the chilluns! That’s right, the grandparents!

So I did a little speculating on which Teen Mom 2 grandparents might be most likely to land his or her own spin-off series and what they might look like. Here are the best three I came up with.

Ke$ha tones it down for AMA awards, would totally hit it with Justin Bieber

ByBilly Devon

Ke$ha has been the poster-gal for questionable fashion choices ever since she hit the pop landscape. Her Hot-Topic-inspired ensembles and over-the-top but not in a way it works like Lady Gaga usually manages wardrobes have inspired a tome of SMDHs. Every once in a while Kesha Rose Sebert will step out sans the outrageousness and the results are usually good. This change-up potential was on full display as Ke$ha hit the red carpet at the AMAs looking great in an (hold it) understated beaded dress and high heel black shoes. See pics, her performance of “Die Young” (after being introduced by a legend) and a funny interview in which she said she’d shack up with The Biebs – after verifying his age.

Sister Wives: Robyn’s debts almost keeps the family from being approved for home loans

ByStarcasm Staff

On last night’s Season 4 premiere episode of Sister Wives, the family dealt with the stress of going through pre-approval for home loans so they could move forward in buying the four lots in a cul-de-sac they had their eyes on. The family has been living sort of far away from each other ever since they moved to Vegas, and wanted to have closer living quarters so their children could be able to spend more time and bond with their siblings. They worried about potential problems with Jenelle’s credit, but it was Robyn’s debt from her former marriage that really had the family worried.

Even though weight loss is really a simple thing (reduce calories in, and increase calories burned) it’s a difficult thing for a human to do, so we’re constantly looking for quick-fix alternatives.
