Teen Mom's Kailyn gets candid about her baby daddy Jo's family

Kailyn Lowry and Jo RiveraFrazer Harrison/Getty Images As longtime viewers of Teen Mom 2 know, Kailyn Lowry has always had a back-and-forth -- sometimes contentious, sometimes not -- relationship with her son Isaac's father, Jonathan "Jo" Rivera. Over the years -- on both 16 and Pregnant and TM2 -- there have been times when things have gotten pretty rough between the two, including numerous mediation battles and barbed comments. Remember when Jo told Kailyn she didn't deserve to be out enjoying the sunlight and instead should be living in a cave? Yikes-o-rama. Things were also pretty messy...

Here's how much Reggie Miller is really worth

Reggie MillerAllen Berezovsky/Getty Images Being a star in the NBA can translate into the kind of salary that turns talented players into multi-millionaires. Just take a look at how much money Isiah Thomas, Horace Grant, and LeBron James have brought in, thanks to their ball-sinking skills. Frankly, Michael Jordan's athletically fueled fame and related business endeavors helped him become a billionaire. Reggie Miller may not have billions of dollars to throw around like Mike, however, he also enjoys a rather enviable fortune due to his playing days. "A volatile, high-voltage scorer from the...

Here's why Solange Knowles never joined Destiny's Child

Solange KnowlesJamie Mccarthy/Getty Images Destiny's Child is a girl group that needs no explanation or introduction. The awarding-winning group not only gave way to the reign of Beyoncé Knowles-Carter, but they were also a pivotal sound in R&B for more than 10 years. The group consisted of a variety of singers throughout its years (which led to much controversy), however, there were always two consistent members: Beyoncé and her cousin Kelendria Trene "Kelly" Rowland. While Rowland did grow up with Beyoncé and was closer to her in age, Bey had a little sister, Solange Knowles, who was also...

The truth about Lala Kent and Randall Emmett's relationship

Lala Kent and Randall Emmett Presley Ann/Getty Images Given that she couldn't even say his name on camera when they first started dating, it's kind of shocking that Lala Kent and Randall Emmett are seemingly one of the more functional couples on Vanderpump Rules these days. The two are engaged, live together, work together, and help co-parent Randall's two daughters — London, 10 years old, and Rylee, 6 years old — with his ex, You actress Ambyr Childers. That's a lot more adulting than buying a house in the Valley like the rest of her castmates on her Bravo show, and it proves just how seri...

The tragic real-life story of Cyndi Lauper

Cyndi LauperPatrick Riviere/Getty Images Cyndi Lauper is the very personification of 1980s pop music. Her wild style of dress and dyed hair — both inspired by the New York punk scene — were pretty outlandish for the time, giving her debut album its title: She's So Unusual. However, the songs themselves were not unusual, but timeless bangers, iconic anthems, and enduring torch songs. Lauper, the Grammy Award winner for best new artist in 1985, used her huge voice to sing the heck out of tunes like "Girls Just Want to Have Fun," "Time After Time," "True Colors," "She Bop," "All Through the Ni...

The time Ozark made Julia Garner way too uncomfortable

Julia GarnerRich Polk/Getty Images While many celebrities live a glamorous lifestyle — from red carpet events to buying luxurious mansions — sometimes, it's not so chic behind the scenes.

50 Cent and Jamira HainesBrad Barket/Getty Images Rapper and television producer Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson can be a very private person, but he's opened up about his relationship with Jamira Haines and it's actually kind of sweet. The couple first stepped out in public together at the Power Season 6 premiere in August 2019, though it's unclear how long they were dating before then. Even so, they're really into each other.

Kate Moss' daughter looks just like the supermodel

Lila MossBrian Ach/Getty Images Kate Moss is one of the most well-known supermodels of all time.

The real reason Sigourney Weaver changed her name

Sigourney Weaver during the 70th Berlinale International Film Festival BerlinAndreas Rentz/Getty Images For nearly five decades, actress Sigourney Weaver has commanded the big screen with each iconic role she's embodied. Weaver's turn as Ripley in Alien launched her to superstardom in 1979, yet the A-list star never expected to find success as an actress. But it wasn't because she didn't have the talent — it was because she was tall. At nearly 6-feet tall, an 11-year-old Weaver "felt like a giant spider," she told Parade in 2019. "I never had the confidence to ever think I could act." Weave...

Of course, that's not why Osteen does what he does, but there's no denying the fact that the Texas pastor has quite the following, and not just the tens of thousands of people who attend his Lakewood Church services every Sunday. With over four million followers on Instagram, and multiple television shows airing weekly, Osteen has touched...

What the cast of New Girl looked like before the fame

Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone, Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max GreenfieldMark Davis/Getty Images For seven seasons, New Girl was low-key, goofy, reliable comfort viewing on Fox primetime (and continues to be a favorite binge rewatch on streaming platforms). It gave viewers a realistic, relatable, and hilarious look into a near-universal experience of millennials in the 2010s: Underemployed or unsatisfied at work and trying to find a forever romantic partner while getting through it all with the aid of friends -- who are also their roommates because modern life, particularly big city life...

The joke Prince Charles told that broke Princess Diana's heart

Princess Diana and Prince Charles Steve Wood/Getty Images While fairy tales set up a narrative that the life of a princess is the greatest thing ever, recent history, especially pertaining to British royalty, frequently debunks this fictional idea. Most recently, there was the media frenzy surrounding Prince Harry and Megan Markle's exit from their position as senior royals. A major reason for their departure was the cruelty of British tabloids but many posit speculations about the difficulty of royal life itself, establishing yet again the hypothesis that being a royal is not as great as i...
