Jenelle Evans Is Crazy to Think She Can Prevent Teen Pregnancy

For her relationship/custody/drug drama and more, Jenelle Evans is, in a word, infamous. But the Teen Mom 2 star apparently still believes she can be a role model for teens. She tweeted yesterday, "Wow! I got a lot of school appearances booked already! Can't wait to talk about Teen Pregnancy Prevention!"

Hrmmm, really? Jenelle Evans is going to school young, impressionable minds about steering clear of the path she took? Which lead her to MTV fame (or infamy, to be more specific, but still, I'm sure lots o' kids these days don't really care about the differentiation)? That said, I'm not seeing how any Teen Mom reality star -- or anyone who has become a "star" by having a teen pregnancy -- is the best person to get through to teens. But of all of 'em, Jenelle seems like the least likely.

Sure, everyone makes mistakes, but let's look at the facts: Jenelle doesn't have custody of her son, her mother Barbara does. She's battled drug addiction, has gone to jail and rehab, and has an estranged husband named Courtland but is currently in a relationship with New Guy Nathan. As far as we can tell, she hasn't had some huge turnaround and started living a completely upstanding, clean, mature adult existence just yet. So what makes her a good candidate to counsel teens on ... anything? Let alone the fact that it kiiiinda looks hypocritical, or at least nonsensical, for her or anyone in her position to tell them to not get pregnant when getting pregnant was what helped make her a celebrity.

Despite all of this, I appreciate that she's attempting to use her notoriety to accomplish something positive -- hopefully encouraging teens to use various forms of birth control, including but not limited to abstinence. Because if her "teen pregnancy prevention" talk is actually a completely unrealistic, moralistic scientifically proven-ineffective spiel on just saying "no" to sex, then it's an even bigger joke than it sounds.

How do you feel about Jenelle Evans preachin' to teens about teen pregnancy prevention?

Jenelle Evans and Nathan Griffith Get Matching Clever Tattoos But Is It Too Soon?

I suppose it was only a matter of time before it happened, but Jenelle Evans went and got a matching tattoo with her whirlwind romance partner, Nathan Griffin. They each got inked with a heart with the other's face inside of it on their foreheads. And while that's a bold place to get a tattoo, it actually looks really tasteful. Just kidding. But, no, they really did get matching tattoos.

According to Radar, Jenelle and Nathan both got tattoos of ambigrams that read "Jenelle" one way and "Nathan" the other way. No word on the locale of the ink, but I'm guessing it's somewhere really personal, if Jenelle hasn't yet bestowed it unto Twitter or Instagram. According to a source, "Jenelle really has fallen hard for Nathan and he feels the same way about her. She was totally excited the day she got the tattoo and she’s ready for everyone to see how much she loves him." Aw. That's sweet. But remember, Jenelle's ex-husband, Courtland Rogers, got her name tattooed onto his chest -- and look how that ended.

I'm all for getting the name of someone you love tattooed on your body. I, personally, wouldn't do it, as I'm kind of superstitious, but hey, live and let live. But that said, Jenelle and Nathan haven't been together all that long. To get their names inked on one another is a pretty bold move right now. Almost as bold as a heart tattoo on your forehead.

Do you have your significant other's name tattooed on you?

Jenelle Evans golpea a otra 'Teen Mom' porque nadie presta atención a ella

por Nicole Fabian-Weber hace 1 hora

No es ningún secreto que las madres adolescentes Jenelle Evans y Alex Sekella no gustamos. De hecho, iría como lejos como para decir que se odian. Las dos señoras con clase han participado en una serie de guerras de Twitter en los últimos meses, y justo cuando parecía que las cosas finalmente habían amainado, Jenelle avivó el fuego una vez más por Alex llamando a una "perra" de la nada.

Y Alex tuvo la respuesta perfecta, aunque sólo como inmaduro.

Después Jenelle escribió,"realmente no me gusta esa perra Alex #TeenMom3, pero el resto de las mujeres es #MuchLove impresionante," Alex respondió con, "en mi opinión jenelle está celoso del hecho de que ya no está en el centro de atención que su charla s — es la única cosa es buena:)." Y es que parece como si fuera el caso. Jenelle ha gastado una cantidad inusual de tiempo centrándose en la vida de Alex. Es, como uno de su propio tío.

Pero aquí está la cosa. Aunque es muy difícil sentarse ociosamente mientras alguien te golpea a sus miles y miles de seguidores en Twitter, Alex está dando Jenelle exactamente lo que quiere: publicidad. Si ella hubiera ignorado comentario al azar y grosero de Jenelle, lo habría hecho más daño. Sólo está exacerbando la pelea y llevando más atención a Jenelle enganchando la.

Así que la próxima vez Jenelle dice algo malo sobre ti, Alex, ignorarla. La prueba. Apuesto a que será mucho tiempo antes de que alguna vez dice algo negativo acerca de usted otra vez.

¿Qué opinas de lucha Jenelle y Alex?

Traje de baño Jenelle Evans es más 'Vegas' que 'Parque acuático infantil' (foto)

Adolescente mamá Jenelle Evans ha publicado recientemente una foto de sí misma mirando muy entonado y, bueno, caliente en un traje de baño monokini diminuta recuerdan algo Farrah Abraham usaría. Y aunque no podemos negar Jenelle miradas muy buena en este asunto, no estoy segura púrpura y oro brillante deslumbrantes bañador es óptima para un día en un parque acuático para niños. Sólo meditando en voz alta.

Jenelle tomó a hijo Jace al parque acuático Myrtle Waves en Carolina del norte, y por cualquier razón, este era el traje de baño que llevaba. Una vez más, las sesiones de entrenamiento de Jenelle con su novio, Nathan Griffith, claramente están pagando, pero este traje particular es mejor, ah, adecuado para un día romántico en la playa con su marido, o para un viaje a una piscina de Las Vegas, donde oro bikinis cojos y tal caen del cielo.

Yo soy todo para quedarse con estilo cuando te conviertes en una madre, pero hay un momento y un lugar para las cosas--y del parque acuático infantil no es el momento ni el lugar para sacar tu bikini sexy, más elaborado. No hay nada malo con lo que está usando Jenelle propiamente, es... bueno, es una elección extraña para la ocasión.

En otras noticias, me alegro de verla pasar tiempo con su hijo. Jesús, ese niño es lindo.

Jenelle Evans LOLs as Nathan Griffith Is Arrested for DUI

AppId is over the quota

by Rebecca Stokes 3 hours ago

You know what shouldn't be surprising? When a man in Jenelle Evans's life gets arrested. Old dogs can't learn new tricks, and dudes she dates can't stay out of trouble. Do the names Kieffer Delp or Courtland Rogers ring any bells? Confession, I miss Kieffer. If only because it means we never get to hear Jenelle's mom Barbara Evans scream his name again ("KEEFAH").

It looked like the curse might have been broken with Jenelle's latest beau, Nathan Griffith. Sadly, this was not to be. Just days after Jenelle was sharing pics of Nathan, herself, and her son Jace looking like a happy family, Nathan did something to blast that image to smithereens.

He was arrested for a DUI. Ugh. Gross, gross, and gross. Driving under the influence is just unacceptable. Plus, Nathan's recent arrest makes him look like a giant hypocrite. He's supposed to be so staunchly opposed to this sort of behavior. Remember how he swore he'd leave Jenelle if she touched drugs again?

Yeah, that didn't happen. Maybe that should have indicated the dude had issues brewing. Whatever the case, he needs to take this arrest seriously if he plans on becoming Jace's stepfather. Right now, it doesn't seem like Jenelle is going to be able to help him do that. When she learned fellow Teen Mom Catelynn Lowell was going to be out partying, she tweeted, "don't drink and drive! lol". Right Jenelle -- his arrest is hilarious. He is the Will Ferrell of drinking and driving. We bet she wasn't laughing when she was paying his $5,000 bail.

Do you think this is an isolated incident, or that Nathan needs help?

Jenelle Evans Breaks Her Thumb in the World's Weirdest Accident

dinsdag 3 september 2013

by Nicole Fabian-Weber 3 hours ago

Are you sitting down? If so, please stand. You're going to want to be up for this. Jenelle Evans broke her thumb in her sleep the other night, you guys. As the story goes, per her lovah, Nathan Griffith, Jenelle was deep in a peaceful slumber a few nights ago when she rolled over and fell off the bed, breaking her most important finger: Her thumb. And the weirdest part about this whole weird story? Jenelle has no recollection of the incident whatsoever.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...

Jenelle initially fired off the tweet: "Woke up with a broken thumb", and when inquiring fans demanded to know how ("What'd you do? Sleep on it wrong?! Lol" one person asked), Jenelle simply responded with: "Nathan said I fell off the bed earlier lol I don't remember."

Now. I'm not one to make assumptions, buuuuut, when one is completely and totally sober -- nary a cocktail in their system -- how do they sleep through falling off of their bed and breaking a bone in their body? I know some people are deep sleepers, and I'm not saying Jenelle was under the influence of any kind. Buuuuut. This is a pretty impressive thing to sleep through. I've heard of people sleeping through alarms, phones, even their baby crying. But falling to the floor and smashing a finger to smithereens is a new one.

Glad everything is fine with Jenelle, and she's still able to LOL it up. But perhaps Nathan ought to install one of those toddler railings so Jenelle doesn't fall off the bed again. It was just a thumb this time, but who knows what could be next?

Have you ever fallen off your bed and broken your thumb and slept through it?

Jenelle Evans’ Son Needs Surgery, But Who's Taking Him to the Hospital?

woensdag 21 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 3 hours ago

Did you catch the scary rumor about Janelle Evans' son Jace getting surgery? The rumors are true ... well, sort of. First of all, the surgery hasn't happened yet. Last night Jenelle confirmed Jace is getting surgery on Thursday. And it's not as serious as it sounds, either. Jenelle tweeted, "his surgery for his ear tubes is scheduled this week on Thursday when my mom has the day off."

This is a common procedure many kids get done. It's usually outpatient, so Jace won't have to stay overnight. The procedure usually takes just 15 minutes, though you do have to go under anesthesia for it.

Ear tubes are a way to treat kids who get frequent ear infections due to fluids building up in the ear. The tube is placed in the middle ear to create an air passage, so fluids won't accumulate behind the eardrum. After six months to a year or so, the tubes just fall out, and the holes close on their own (though not always). I remember my sister had tubes put in her ears when she was about Jace's age.

But what is this about getting Jace's ear tubes when Jenelle's mother has the day off? I guess since grandma has custody, she's the one who has to take Jace for the surgery. He's probably on her insurance plan, and she would be the one to take care of the paperwork. Jenelle didn't say if she's coming along, too, that I could see. But we'd hope she would be there for her son. I think if you're getting surgery, even if it's something minor like this, you'd want to look back and remember that your mother was there with you.

Have any of your kids gotten ear tubes?

Jenelle Evans Jailed for Drugs Again -- Will Boyfriend Nathan Griffith Dump Her Now? (PHOTO)

dinsdag 13 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
by Jeanne Sager 10 hours ago

You knew something had to be wrong when Jenelle Evans' Twitter account went silent for more than 20 hours, and now we know why. The Teen Mom 2 star has been sent to jail. Again!

And showing just how seriously she takes it when the cops haul her off to jail, Jenelle had a big cheesy grin for her mugshot photo. Again!

She better hope boyfriend Nathan Griffith doesn't see this one.

'Memba when Griffith, a former Marine and total gym rat, said he'd leave Jenelle if she did drugs? Looks like his promise is being tested, like, right NOW.

Turns out Jenelle was in court today to make a plea that would allow her to skate on the heroin charges lodged against her after an altercation with husband Courtland Rogers earlier this year. That was when the judge decided it would be a good time to call for Jenelle to take a random drug test.

According to TMZ, the reality star's test came back positive for marijuana. So while the judge OK'd the plea that gave Jenelle just 18 months probation for heroin and illegal Percocet possession and a drug paraphernalia charge, he ordered she be hauled off to jail for 48 hours to pay for showing up to court with drugs in her system.

Sadly from the looks of her mugshot, the move hasn't scared Jenelle in the least. The grin she greeted jail with is what my grandparents would have called the shit-eating kind. She's amused by this! Clearly!

More From The Stir: Jenelle Evans Goes Where We Never Thought She’d Go

So if jail doesn't scare her, what will? Anything?

Maybe Nathan actually putting his money where his mouth is and walking away? After all, Jenelle does not do well when she's single -- the fact that she's dating him while still technically married shows that.

Nathan hasn't yet commented on his girlfriend's arrest other than to tell his ex-wife (and mother of his child) to "shut the f--k up" for breaking the news of Jenelle's failed drug test on Twitter. But if he really loves the Teen Mom 2 star, he'll step up and do SOMETHING about her return to jail. He has until Wednesday morning when she gets out to think about it ...

Can Nathan turn Jenelle around? Can anything?

Jenelle Evans' Taunting of Nathan Griffith's Ex Only Makes Her Look Bad

woensdag 7 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Maressa Brown 2 hours ago

Just when you thought Jenelle Evans' love life might be quieting down, and she was settling into her latest relationship with Nathan Griffith, the Teen Mom star had to turn up the drama. Where else but on Twitter, of course! For some reason, she felt the need to tweet to Nathan's ex, Allison Stevens, writing, "Thank god u r out of the picture, becuz we r getting engaged soon and having that little family u always wanted lmfao."

Wow ... First of all, hold up -- WHAT? They're getting engaged soon? Second, how cruel and unnecessary is it to go after her current BF's ex?! 

Allison and Nathan have a 2-year-old daughter named Emery together, but as she explained to RadarOnline.com, Allison “got involved with drugs and alcohol during a rough time” in her marriage to Nathan and no longer has custody of the little girl. She warned him, however, that she doesn't want Jenelle anywhere near their daughter. So that may explain why Jenelle's claws are out. Welcome to the 21st century of Jerry Springer, huh?

More from The Stir: Jenelle Evans' Toxic Ex Kieffer Delp Is Making a Play to Get Her Back

Still, no matter how much animosity there is between these two, Jenelle's wrong to throw her relationship with Nathan and whatever future they see themselves having together in Allison's face. No good can come of attacking your current partner's ex. It just seems like a complete waste of energy, a total spewing of negativity that only serves to hurt all parties involved. Further, if you're confident enough in your relationship, there's absolutely no reason to attack the ex.

But Jenelle feeling insecure about a boyfriend and/or their toxic relationship and/or his volatile past is nothing new, right?

Have you ever felt compelled to go after your partner's ex?

Suddenly Jenelle Evans Can't 'Trust' Her 'Perfect' Boyfriend Nathan

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Emily Abbate 14 hours ago

Looks like things could be getting a little rocky in the relationship department for Jenelle Evans. After things have been oh-so-perfect with boyfriend and underwear model Nathan Griffith for the past few months, the Teen Mom took to her absolute favorite social median (Twitter, duh) to do a bit of complaining. Turns out, Jenelle is having trust issues with her friends AND Nathan and feels stabbed in the back. Hmm, not exactly an excellent foundation for a great relationship.

Obviously what's going on here or why Jenelle feels betrayed. I have a hankering that if she kept more things sacred in her life instead of blabbing them to the world, she wouldn't have so many trust issues. It's easy to lose trust when you have no problem airing everyone's dirty laundry out for the whole world to see!

Sure, Jenelle's wary about things with Nathan right now. But let's be real, if I was him -- I'd be nervous to be dating her, too.

Come on, Nathan. Have you seen how Jenelle's absolutely destroyed the last two men she dated on Twitter? There isn't more than a week or two that goes by at a time where she's not slamming Courtland Rogers or Kieffer Delp. It's not just a casual "you are the worst," tweet, either. Jenelle has no problem going back into her partners' personal history and bringing out the big guns.Sure, these men may not be the best of characters, but certain aspects of an intimate relationship should remain private between two people, always.

Plain and simple: You have to be trustworthy first to expect that same courtesy from other people. Will Jenelle and Nathan patch things up? I hope so. It seems that since June, he's been really really good for her. With that said, though, if they can make it work then there are a few things homegirl needs to reevaluate. Item No. 1: Who's more important -- her boyfriend or her Twitter followers.

Do you think Jenelle and Nathan will make it through this?

Jenelle Evans' Toxic Ex Kieffer Delp Is Making a Play to Get Her Back

dinsdag 6 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
por Maressa Brown hace 1 hora

Jenelle Evans' amor vida tiene que ser uno de los más impredecibles y arriba y abajo de todo el Teen Mom stars. Nunca estamos 100 por ciento seguro de que no va a terminar la espalda con un ex... porque ciertamente ha sucedido antes. Y por alguna razón, uno de sus más notorios ex Kieffer Delp parece creer que tiene las mejores posibilidades de reunirse con Jenelle --y ha estado jactándose de ello en Twitter. Ugh.

Ayer, tweeted Kieffer, "Todos sabemos le gusto todavía mi amigo ella prolly en mis Noticias feed rito maldición ahora." Luego pasó a la dirección a actual BF Nathan Griffith de Jenelle directamente, diciéndole que está seguro de que "algún día que volverá." Oooh-kaay... ¿Dónde diablos viene esto?

Tienes que preguntarte si quizá Jenelle cayó algún tipo de pista que sigue interesada, pero rotundo contestó:

vosotros sois los que sigue locamente enamorado de mí. No al revés. Seguir adelante.

Bien por ella! Paciencia, esperemos que sea cierto! Todos sabemos que sería prudente mantener la puerta cerrada en la relación tóxica que se metió en problemas con la ley más de una vez. De hecho, ella incluso no debería estar comunicándose con el chico! Ella sólo le está dando la atención obviamente tan desesperado. Y con una historia como la suya, sería mucho mejor cortar todos los lazos... para siempre.

¿Esperas que estos dos no te acerques a uno al otro?

Jenelle Evans' Surprising Gift to Jace May Be a Sign That She’s Becoming a Good Mom

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Sasha Brown-Worsham 14 hours ago

Last Friday was Teen Mom Jenelle Evans' son Jace's fourth birthday, and Evans tweeted out a photo of a really adorable cake that one has to assume she either made herself or someone else in her family made. The cake is Spider-Man and totally awesome. Clearly, with its layers and fondant, it took a lot of work and care. It really seems like maybe Evans is turning it all around.

Clicking over to Evans' Twitter and Facebook feed, it was surprising to find that she, like any mom whose child has a birthday in the summer, spent the weekend baking, planning, and ultimately hosting a gaggle of young kids to celebrate her child.

It was so un-Jenelle-like. So normal. So ... mom-like? Maybe it's true. Maybe Jenelle really is shifting her priorities and finally (finally!) becoming the mom Jace deserves.

It's obviously too early to say for sure just how much Jenelle is shifting. And let's face it: One homemade cake (or really nice, thoughtful store-bought one) does not a good mom make. But it does show effort. It shows that she is trying, and hey, that's more than she has done in the past.

More From Our Partners: Jenelle Evans's Boyfriend Nathan Griffith Calls Her a C-List Celeb!

Being a good mom doesn't take buying a kid things or visiting him on Sundays with lots of treats. It's the day to day slog. It's the making of the lunches and the birthday cakes and the kissing of the boo-boos and the rocking them back to sleep after nightmares.

But every good mom has to start somewhere and maybe, just maybe, Jenelle is shifting her focus away from boys and drugs and parties and back onto her son.

It's a small thing, but her Twitter feed seems less drama and more love for Jace lately. Her Facebook feed looks a lot like that of any young mom. If she IS growing up, then maybe Teen Mom 2 can continue. Or, better yet, maybe there is still time for Jace to have a happy childhood.

Let's hope.

Do you think Jenelle is changing?

Jenelle Evans' Son Turns 4 and Jenelle Needs to Grow Up, Too

zaterdag 3 augustus 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 17 hours ago

Look who's got a birthday. Jenelle Evans' son Jace turns 4 today. The baby viewers watched Jenelle welcome into the world on the show 16 and Pregnant is growing up so quickly. He's not a toddler anymore. Jenelle told fans yesterday that she'd be spending the whole day with Jace today, followed by a big birthday party at grandma Barbara Evans' house on Saturday. 

A lot has happened in Jace's four short years of life -- and a lot remains the same. After a tumultuous few years, Jenelle seems to be settling down into a stable relationship. Jace still lives with Grandma, and given everything that's happened in Jenelle's life, that's a good thing. But hopefully, someday Jenelle will be in a position to raise her son in her own home. And what about Jace's privacy?

I feel like you can share a lot about your kids while they're still babies, but as they get older, you kind of have to back off. Kids figure out quickly what Twitter and Instagram are, and they start having opinions about how much you share about them. They're also still learning what the full implications of social sharing are. Even if you're not concerned about things like safety, I think you do need to start making sharing a more collaborative activity once your kids get to this age.

There are things I don't share or write about my own son because he doesn't want me to. I have to respect that. (He'll sometimes ask me to post photos on Instagram for him, on the other hand.) I'm also learning there are things I may not want to share about myself and my life, knowing that he could read it himself. Sometimes you find these things out the hard way, after you've already put THAT, whatever it is, out there. You make mistakes, and hopefully you learn from them.

I hope Jenelle is thinking about this now that Jace is older. It's kind of a buzzkill, especially for those of us who value candor and think of ourselves as whole people with complex, multifaceted identities that extend beyond "MOMMY." I don't think it means being fake or always censoring yourself, but you do have to start being more careful. It's a negotiation you manage, little by little. And it's something Jenelle needs to give some thought to now that Jace is 4.

Do you think Jenelle should be more discreet now that Jace is older?

Jenelle Evans’ Sexy Texts With Her Boyfriend Should Be Kept Private

donderdag 1 augustus 2013

by Nicole Fabian-Weber 3 hours ago

If you were walking down the street yesterday and you thought to yourself, "You know what I could go for? A sexy text message back and forth between Jenelle Evans and her new boyfriend Nathan Griffith," you're in luck. The Teen Mom posted a highly inappropriate, would-be-personal-for-most text message exchange between her and Griffith, and um, thanks but no thanks.

Jenelle posted this gem to her Twitter account. A little TMI, no?

It's great that things are going hunky-dory for J and N, but a) get a room, guys; and b) people who truly have rock solid relationships don't need to post sh*t like this online. I mean, isn't this sort of thing supposed to be private? Why upload this to your Twitter, where a million random people can see and comment on it?

For Jenelle's sake, I really hope things work out with her and this Nathan joker. She really seems to like him. And although I don't think he's the be all, end all in terms of dudes, he's much better than some of the previous trashballs she's been with.

But, please, Jenelle. Don't post something like this to Twitter again. We don't want to see how the sausage is made.

What do you think of Jenelle's tweet?

Jenelle Evans Is Sober ... According to This Note From Her Druggie Ex

vrijdag 26 juli 2013

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota
by Adriana Velez 16 hours ago

People of the Twitterverse, Jenelle Evans is not on drugs, okay? How many times does she have to tell you? When she went to the hospital Monday night, it was to have her appendix removed, not for anything drug-related. But the haters just won't buy that story. I don't know why their opinions matter to her, but she's determined to prove them wrong. Her latest effort: Posting a note from Courtland congratulating Jenelle on staying sober.

The letter is dated March 21, 2013, less than a month before she was arrested for heroin possession. Jenelle has been claiming Court planted the heroin on her. So yesterday she tweeted, "Wowwwww, look what I found in my 'Day-By-Day' book I posted online before. See even my ex KNEW I was sober." I have to say ... that is compelling evidence.

If anything, Courtland would probably want us to believe Jenelle was still using. That is, IF he really did plant that heroin on her. Whether or not he did, his congratulations sure do sound hollow, don't they? "Congratulations, Jenelle, you're gonna get busted for heroin possession soon and we'll break up! Yehaw!" This from the guy who's preparing to sell out his girlfriend, supposedly.

That's like getting a letter of recommendation from Beelzebub. Truthful? Probably. Helpful? Maybe not so much.

Oh -- and by sober, I'm sure Court means no longer using drugs. Alcohol may be another matter. Wasn't Jenelle just talking about working out with a hangover? One step at a time, I guess. But girlfriend is probably going to have to give that up eventually, too.

But back to the drugs, since that's what Jenelle cares most about right now. Could someone please tell her, she doesn't have to post these silly notes to prove she's sober. All she has to do is live her life cleanly. No more arrests, no more fights, no more drama. That's going to prove she's sober more than anything else.

Do you think Jenelle should just ignore her haters and live her sober life?

Amor es... va para dos meses enteros sin un argumento. Daww! Y de Teen Mom Jenelle Evans, eso hace que su relación sea perfecto. Sólo ella escribió, "Me encanta el hecho de que @GroundLevelUp y mi relación es tan perfecto que no hemos tenido una discusión con otro en 2 meses desde citas!" Es así que lindo, que me encanta cómo bajo estos dos chicos dang poner el listón para el éxito. No puedes evitar ganar pero con esas normas, ¿puedes? ¿Caray, sesenta días enteros y nadie ha llamado a la policía? Es su aniversario de oro! Saca las copas de cristal.

Oh, sé que debería darle un poco más crédito que eso Jenelle. Para ella, esto es probablemente algo realmente grande. Generalmente por la relación de dos meses marca sea alguien en la cárcel, o ha roto y vuelto junto con su esposo/novio por lo menos dos veces. Dos meses sin un argumento, ZOMG. Nathan Griffiths debe ser un hombre especial... o tal vez es sólo el único tipo ha salido alguna vez con que no estaba totalmente las tuercas o drogas turbada.

¿Ella, sin embargo, que en tierra de gente Normal, decimos dos meses es la fácil, la fase temprana de una relación? Dos meses y este es el único argumento que: cuelgas. No cuelgues. NO, TÚ! Oh, espera, no, probablemente estás teniendo ésta, también: te amo más. No, te quiero más! ¡No es posible! Yo te quiero más.

Lo siento, que solo te hizo vomitar en tu boca.

De todos modos, en algún momento Jenelle y Nathan van a tener una discusión. Incluso maduro, non-kookoo parejas hacen. Le pasa a todo el mundo. Y espero que ambos pueden manejar. Porque la verdad es que nunca argumentando no hace una relación perfecta. Una relación saludable, feliz tendrá su cuota de desacuerdos. Con suerte, sin embargo, ambas luchas justo. Eso es lo que Jenelle tendrá que aprender a hacer antes de que ella puede llamar su relación verdaderamente "perfecto".

¿Cuánto tiempo crees que Jenelle y Nathan va a durar antes de su primer argumento?

Jenelle Evans Seems Weirdly Nonchalant About Losing Her Beloved Pet

Jenelle Evans' beloved bearded dragon Yoshi is apparently dead, and Evans took to Twitter to talk about it. The "star" tweeted that her mother killed him, apparently by turning off the light inadvertently. It's super sad, especially given the nonchalant way Jenelle approached it.

Sure, Yoshi wasn't a human being (or even a dog or a cat), but it's yet another creature Jenelle didn't take responsibility for, handing him over to her mother. And then she can't even ratchet up enough sadness for the poor guy to mention it more than in passing?

I get that a bearded dragon may not seem as important to some people as another kind of pet, but it's a real responsibility. Even a goldfish deserves to be fed and have its water changed regularly, no?

Jenelle doesn't need to break down in tears and have a drama fest over the death of her bearded dragon, but I would expect more from a woman who has treated even a breakup with a boyfriend of two weeks as life-alteringly awful.

This is death! I don't care if it's a reptile or a human. It's still really sad. Jenelle even made kind of light of it in a later tweet, replying to a friend:

@knblack333 no lol on accident of course she turned off his heat lamp!!!

The responses are pretty typical, mostly bashing Jenelle for shirking yet another responsibility. And while I don't blame ANYONE who feels that way, I also think this is more than that. This is showing a real lack of sadness over something real. With all the drama over such little things, one would think Evans could muster a little grief over her little buddy.

It's truly sad.

Do you think Jenelle underreacted to this?

Jenelle Evans Calls Herself the ‘B’ Word – She Said It, We Didn’t!

I have some shocking Teen Mom news here. You are NOT! Going! To believe it! Are you ready? Make sure you're sitting down first and hold onto your hats. It concerns our favorite, most sweet-tempered and trouble-free Teen Mom. Jenelle Evans says she's a bitch sometimes just because. "Sometimes ill be a bitch just to be one, hahahaha! Ask @GroundLevelUp, he completely understands me to a TEE!" she tweeted yesterday to no one's great surprise.

OMG, right? Really, Jenelle. You don't say.

Okay, but that said, this is classic Jenelle Evans, isn't it? I love how honest she is about her temperament. I mean, we pretty much know this already. In one short tweet she's pretty much summarized almost her entire MO in life. It's her entire world view. Jenelle Evans 101, right there all right.

But if I'm honest with myself, I have to admit I can kind of relate. Maybe I'm not a bitch just to be one quiiite as often as she is. But don't you ever just get a case of the mean reds for no reason (hormones) (kids) (painful women's shoes) (life stuff) and feel like unleashing some of your wrath on the world -- even though the world so does not deserve your wrath?

I'm not Jenelle's age, nor am I a reality TV star, though. So I have to keep a lid on it -- and I do, most of the time. But I like knowing I can deploy my inner bitch when I need to. Sometimes I'll be a bitch... just because I need to be one.

Are you ever a bitch just to be one?

Jenelle Evans Gives a Hysterical Excuse for Living With Another Dude While Still Married

zaterdag 13 juli 2013

One thing you've gotta give Teen Mom Jenelle Evans credit for: The woman does not run out of excuses. Ever. Jenelle recently said that, although she's currently living with new boyfriend Nathan Griffith while technically still married to Courtland Rogers, she's not committing adultery because Courtland cheated first.

Now, don't get me wrong, I was just as happy as the next guy to see Jenelle and Courtland part ways -- they're one of history's worst couples. And if she wants to be with someone else right now, that's fine. She and Rogers are estranged. But is she really using the ol' "he did it first" excuse. What is this, second grade?

Jenelle need not paint herself as the "scorned woman" here. Because she's not. Yeah, Courtland may have cheated first, but if Jenelle actually gave a rat's ass, she would have "mourned" their relationship first, as opposed to diving head-first into a new relationship. In fact, I'm guessing Jenelle was thrilled Courtland cheated, because that way, she was off the hook for anything she did afterwards.

I couldn't help but let out the most audible of sighs when I read Jenelle's tweet on the whole sitch. She wrote: "It's not a sin if one spouse has been unfaithful. CR was unfaithful and we r separated." First of all, easy there with the Bible talk, killer. And second of all, stop making excuses. Yes, what Courtland did was really, really wrong -- and he's one of the world's biggest trashballs -- but don't get it twisted, Jenelle. His wrong doesn't make you right.

What do you think of this?
