MTV reality star Jenelle Evans has reportedly been involved in a car crash while 10 weeks pregnant with her third child.

According to new police documents obtained by Us magazine, the Teen Mom 2 star told police she was 10 weeks pregnant after she was allegedly involved in a car crash with her latest boyfriend David Eason.

The report – which was filed on Wednesday July 6 – states that Jenelle and her partner were involved in a two-vehicle accident in North Carolina in which David rear-ended another car while at a traffic light.

It then states that the passenger in David’s car – who is believed to have been Jenelle – told police she was pregnant and complained of abdominal pain before being brought to a medical centre for treatment.

While the 24-year-old mother has not directly announced her third pregnancy, she did take to Instagram last night to address the incident and how it has been received by the public.

She wrote: “‘So sad.  ‘Disappointing.’  ‘She should have her tubes tied.’  ‘Did she have a miscarriage or is she still pregnant?!’  ‘3 baby daddies!’”

“These are only some hate comments I have been receiving since yesterday.  I don’t understand what is ‘disappointing’ or ‘sad’?!”

“Why not ask if I’m ok from the car accident?!  Why not be concerned about my health?!  I want privacy.  All of you disgust me.”

“Funny how someone else comes out with news they are pregnant and the world is overjoyed.”

 

 

I'll talk when I want to talk. #FuckOff

The words were defiantly coupled with the caption: “I’ll talk when I want to talk.”

Jenelle is currently the mother of six-year-old Jace – whose birth was documented for MTV’s hit show 16 and Pregnant – and two-year-old Kaiser.

The reality star’s battle with drug addiction has been well documented during her time on Teen Mom 2 and she has been arrested 13 times since the show first aired in 2011.

If you aren’t on your best behaviour at your next Justin Bieber concert, you better be prepared to say Sorry as JB has shown he has no time for messing.

During his sell-out Atlanta show on Friday night, Justin was interrupted mid-speech by a fan who decided to throw something onto his stage and – according to E! – the singer was less than impressed with the move.

Taking the opportunity to make a point, Justin told the crowd: "Take this moment to listen and try not to give me a hat or whatever you're trying to throw onto the stage right now, because I probably don't want that sh*t."  Ouch!

Although his comments received a huge round of applause, the Love Yourself performer quickly realised how harsh his message may have sounded and so, not want to break a Belieber’s heart, he added: “Sorry that was mean.”

The effect of the interruption was then obvious as Justin needed a moment to get his performance back on track.

He said: "But yeah, no I lost what I was going to say."

"I was deep into, like, a mode and a zone. I was — I was into it. Now I'm out of it. I'll get it back. Just give me a second."

The star – who is currently touring the US as part of his Purpose World Tour – then continued his show with a song before once again apologising for calling out the fan: "Sorry for throwing your hat but you ruined the moment…Whatever, let's do it."

It sounds like Justin really did feel bad after all.

He’s the Voice Of Ireland host who pretty much wowed the nation when he got Ed Sheeran to sing Thinking Out Loud as Gaeilge.

Released last year, the album Ceol also featured the likes of The Coronas, Kodaline, and Keywest.

And now Eoghan has revealed in conversation with SHEmazing that he’s all set for Ceol round 2 – and that he has a HUGE US-star lined up for it.

“It’s going to be pretty massive,” the 2fm presenter added.

“We’re almost there on it – it’s just a matter of firming up the detail at this stage. I'm not going to name names just yet, they're up there with, say, Taylor-Swift in terms of fame.”

Eoghan was yesterday hanging out with the likes of Rosanna Davison and Samantha Mumba at the 3Live area at Longitude – where Three was hosting acoustic performances, secret gigs and film screenings.

And at the 3Club, Eoghan also impressed the revellers with an indoor DJ set.

“We’ve had a pretty crap summer and then all of a sudden the sun comes out… so I really wasn’t expecting the crowd to show up in the way that they did. But it was epic!

“I love the The Voice and I’d never knock it but it’s very much ‘silly jokes’. So it’s nice to bring back to music every now and then. There are really only a few companies that really do music properly – and Three is one of them.”

He’s adamant he doesn’t particularly have his sights set on the Late Late gig once Ryan Tubridy moves aside, but the 33-year-old says he loves Brendan O’Connor’s new show, Cutting Edge.

“He probably felt he had something to prove,” Eoghan adds, “but he’s definitely proved it now.”

That and he loves the Ellen DeGeneres format: “She does the silly stuff but then gets Obama for a discussion about racial inequality. It’s seamless.” 

Finally, Eoghan, who has been open about his own battles with depression and self-harm, recommends that everyone has a mentor – admitting that he has three.

“Years ago a guy was over from London to do some work with Spin 1038, where I had a show at the time. He liked what I was doing and brought me back with him to work on XFM – where likes of Dermot O'Leary, Russell Brand, and Ricky Gervais all cut their teeth. 

“That was a turning point. And I know I've been very lucky in my career to date.”

U2 frontman Bono found himself in a worrying position on Thursday night as he reportedly had to be rescued by armed French police from a Nice restaurant. 

According to The Mirror, the Dublin rocker was on the seafront terrace of La Petite Maison in the French city when Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel drove a truck into the Bastille Day crowd killing 84 people.

The Daily Mail has reported that staff in the up-market venue pulled down the shutters when they realised what was happening and told everyone to hide until the all clear was given.

Bono and the restaurant's other diners were said to have been “gripped by fear” as the events unfolded and were later rescued by armed antiterrorist police who led the group to the nearby Massena square.

Restaurant owner Anne-Laure Rubi told a French magazine: “Suddenly I saw people running, without shouting.”

“It was a silent panic – it was extraordinary.”

A diner at the venue said: “It took around half an hour for the police to get us out.”

“Like everybody else, Bono had to put his hands on his head and was told to remain calm.”

On Friday U2 posted a picture of The Edge from their official Twitter account with the caption: “Love is bigger than anything in its way – Bono, Edge, Adam, Larry.”

This is the second time Bono has been close to a major terrorist attack in France as last November he was rehearsing with his U2 bandmates in Paris when 89 people were killed in the nearby Bataclan theatre.

We are constantly being told to ‘live to the fullest’ because ‘life is short.’

We hear these inspirational quotes all the time, occasionally even posting some on our social media profiles, but do we actually take the messages to heart?

What do you mean life is short? I’m invincible. Bad things never happen in my neighbourhood.

I woke up on Friday morning to discover that another tragedy had occurred at the hands of a terrorist organisation, and it dawned on me: life actually is short.

A man drove a truck through crowds of people on the promenade in Nice on Thursday night, amid a firework display and celebration, before opening fire and killing over 80 innocent people.

As a writer, I usually find myself penning articles about the Kardashians, or the latest runway trends, but I write this now, simply as a pissed off citizen of the World. 

There was a time when wars were fought in trenches and on battle fields, by armies who were honouring their country and their people.

Now, in 2016, we see cowards, who are taking these wars to the streets of major cities. It is no longer about territory and power, it is about instilling fear.

The attack carried out on Thursday only proved that our fears have gone beyond the realm of explosives and firearms.

It is an odd feeling, walking to work on an unusually warm summer’s morning in Dublin, knowing that so many people lost their lives that night, simply walking down a street.

Does this mean all vehicles are now a potential threat? What’s next? Skateboards? Bikes?

France is one of the most beautiful nations in the world, but it has been scorned time and time again at the hands of individuals who are ripe with ignorance and hate.

This is not just a message for the people of France, and the devastation they have faced over the past 18 months. It is a message for America, Turkey, Iraq, Belgium, Syria, Afghanistan, and to all the nations in this world who have been affected by mindless terrorism.

I do not want to grow up in a world where the concept of exploration and travel frightens me, purely because of unwarranted attacks on the blameless. I want to be able to visit beautiful countries, without the worry that I may be gunned down, blown up or attacked in any way, for absolutely no reason but bad timing.

While it is near impossible to eradicate evil from our ever-changing world, we must try not fear it. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. We must listen to those over-used John Lennon and Marilyn Monroe quotes, and live our lives to the fullest.

We cannot allow fear to cripple our happiness.

Through this happiness, the evil will lose. They won’t break us. They can’t.

To those of you who fight against terrorism, whether you are a member of the armed forces, a politician or just a protestor hoping for a better world for our children, I thank you.

We must try to tackle these monsters, and fight for world that is not riddled in fear and hatred.

I know it sounds cliché, but the message is real. Hug your loved ones, have that extra doughnut, swim in the ocean, travel the world and enjoy every single second of this life.

When it comes to music festivals, our Stateside pals definitely have us beat on weather, but there's no denying we're nose to nose in the style stakes.

With festival attire rapidly taking over a large portion of our wardrobes, the vast majority of us have graduated from the 'binliner and fisherman's hat' approach, and have instead taken inspiration from a number of different trends in order to create our very own festival chic.

When it comes to the numerous musical events which have and continue to punctuate our summer, we have the look absolutely nailed.

Case in point: Longitude 2016.

Giving the Coachella contingent a serious run for their money in the grunge stakes, our Longitude ladies went for more than a passing nod to the 90s, and did it like absolute pros. 

Two-tone denim and cons FTW.

There's no doubt white crop tops or for the more daring among us – white bralets –  are BIG this festival season, and we're all over the boho-inspired Broderie anglaise version which we're definitely getting our hands on for Electric Picnic.

Think how little space they'd take up in a rucksack! Packing hack 101 right there.

With dungarees making a huge comeback this year, festival-goers have been going for them in a big way, and we're hella impressed.

New Look and Topshop are great for overalls right now, so if you can't see yourself wearing a pair outside of a fest, at least you won't have broken the bank!

Everyone knows that accessories can make or break an outfit, so we're all over the sleek and chick bumbag look currently gaining momentum at Irish festivals this summer.

Most of us are opting for minimal because – well, it IS a bumbag at the end of the day – and yet there's such an abundance on the high street right now, it's unlikely you'll bump into someone rocking the same one.

Longitude ladies, you have it nailed.

After four years and two children together, Drew Barrymore has decided to officially call time on her marriage to Will Kopelman.

According to emerging reports from across the pond, the much-loved actress, who announced she was separating from her husband last April, made it official by initiating legal proceedings yesterday.

Insistent that the break-down of their marriage would not signal the dissolution of their family unit, the former couple asserted in a statement at the time: "Sadly our family is separating legally, although we do not feel this takes away from us being a family."

"Divorce might make one feel like a failure, but eventually you start to find grace in the idea that life goes on," they continued while reflecting on their relationship together.

"Our children are our universe, and we look forward to living the rest of our lives with them as the first priority," they added.

The decision to file for divorce appears to be a mutual one as reports confirm that the divorce is reportedly marked as 'uncontested' in court documents.

After a year of dating, the long-time friends tied the knot in 2012 before welcoming daughters Olive and Frankie.

Unless you have iron willpower during your pre-holiday prep, chances are you've definitely overindulged while on a last-minute trip to Boots.

While only intending to buy some travel-sized toiletries, most of us leave groaning under the weight of products promising to make us look only bleedin' gorgeous while we're sunning ourselves on the Costa.

And as it turns out, we're not the only ones who drop a dollah or two when it comes to this, but the TOWIE girls do it on a much, much grander scale. (Natch)

According to Heat, those reality show gals know how to splash the cash when it comes to prepping for their holliers, and are happy to shell out THOUSANDS before they even take a sip of the traditional airport bevvie.
 

Both Kate Wright and Lydia Bright shelled out £1,000 on pre-holiday prep, with Kate opting for teeth-whitening, extensions and scarring treatments while Lydia reportedly spent her cash on moisturisers and top-of-the line cosmetics.

And if you think that's excessive, both Megan McKenna and Chloe Sims splashed more than £3,000 each on their prep – Yeah, we know.

From lip fillers and facials to non-surgical facelifts, those girls clearly don't leave anything to chance when they leave the UK.

Christ on a bike…

News stations and media outlets were awash last night with coverage pertaining to an attempted military coup which began in Turkey yesterday.

In frightening scenes which played out across Ankara and Istanbul, soldiers and tanks took to the streets of Turkey's two main cities in a move which has thus far left 90 people dead and hundreds more injured.

With Turkish President, Tayyip Erdogan, calling on his public to support him, the coup appeared to crumble in the early hours of Saturday morning as crowds took to the streets in an act of defiance against soldiers who had assumed positions around both cities and claimed to have taken power.

While caught up in the chaos which ensued as a result of the attempted coup, Limerick model, Judy Fitzgerald, took to Instagram to give an insight into events unfolding in Instanbul.
 

Sharing footage of a busy street in Istanbul eight hours ago, Judy wrote: "The government has fallin and has been taken over by the military here in Istanbul." (sic)

The short clip shows a stream of armed officials making their way through the city followed by chanting groups – all of whom were being filmed by stunned onlookers on the pavement.

"Airports and everything have been shut. What is the world coming too?" she wrote alongside a series of hastags.

At last estimate, 745 individuals had been detained following last night's violence and 130 soldiers have so far been arrested, with President Erdrogen last night asserting: "What is being perpetrated is a treason and a rebellion. They will pay a heavy price for this act of treason."

Just weeks after Chantelle Connelly got her boyfriend's name tattooed on her neck, he decided to publicly dump her on Facebook.

But it looks like Tommy Sayers is seriously regretting his decision now.

With Chantelle reportedly having quit Geordie Shore in order to make a go of things with Tommy, his harsh rant against the reality star on social media made for some very uncomfortable reading, and he now knows it.

Taking to Facebook (again), Tommy apologised to his former girlfriend and set the record straight on a number of reports which were born of his earlier post.

"This status isn't about slagging or ranting it's clearly to apologise to Chantelle Connelly for the way a went on on my previous statuses," he began in a post last night. (sic)

"I was just so angry and couldn't think of any other way to hurt her as I felt so hurt myself," he explained. "She's not selfish one bit, the opposite in fact, she's helped me loads with my shop, and also helped me when I've had not a penny."

Setting the record straight on pretty serious aspect of his former post, he continued: "As people have been saying I said 'she was off a head on drugs', that's a lie, I ment she was mortal on jagerbomband tequila." (sic)

In one particularly gallant move, he added: "Mainly I'm sorry for doing what I did, ano we are completely over as we both agreed on, not just me, if anything she got rid of me," (SIC)

"Why hold grudges against someone especially someone you've been best friends with since we were kids," he asked. "I wish ya all the best for ya clothing range ‪#‎getthattrend‬, and what ever else you have for the future, hope we can be pals again."

Signing off the post which has received hundreds of likes, Tommy admitted he was mortified by the whole sorry situation, writing: "Am cringed to f*ck writing this status wow."

Oh, the humanity.

While numerous female celebrities of a certain age chose (or were chosen) to become part of Taylor Swift's now infamous 'squad', Demi Lovato certainly wasn't one of them.

And those who regularly tune into The Taylor Swift Show will know that Demi and Taylor's relationship noticeably cooled in recent years, with the former appearing to have a somewhat scathing attitude towards her fellow popstar, at least when it comes to certain issues.

Unlike Taylor's beloved Swifties, Demi wasn't nearly as impressed by the Shake It Off singer's $250,000 donation to Kesha during her legal battle with Sony, and used the move to highlight what she considers a failing in Taylor's approach to the matter.

"Take something to Capital Hill or actually speak about something and then I'll be impressed," Demi tweeted at the time. "At least I'm talking about it."

Clearly irritated by the 'throw some cash at the problem' attitude, the Cool for the Summer singer – who, like Tay, once dated Joe Jonas – called Taylor out, tweeting: "At least I speak up about sh*t that's uncomfortable to talk about rather than trying to be politically correct 24/7."

And it looks like the fans who had been keeping abreast of the lowkey Demi vs. Taylor saga for the last couple of years were tossed another crumb this week when the former Disney star started following Calvin Harris on Twitter.

While not earth-shattering by any means (Maybe Demi's just in the market for a collab?), her timing is what has piqued the interest of millions.

Just one day after Calvin called out his former girlfriend in a series of pretty epic tweets. the 23-year-old decided she'd be interested in hearing more from the Scottish DJ.

"Demi Lovato started following Calvin Harris on Twitter," tweeted a fan site dedicated to Demi in a move which had social media users reaching for their popcorn.

Some Twitter users suggested it was a shady move on Demi's part while others applauded the star, tweeting: "HAHAHA, love for Demi!"

We wonder what Taylor will make of this one…

Social media went into meltdown this week when Playboy model and former Playmate of the Year, Dani Mathers, violated another woman's privacy by sharing a nude shot of her on Snapchat.

Publicly mocking the unassuming woman, whom she encountered in a ladies locker room, the model wrote: "If I can't unsee this, neither can you."

Sickened by Dani's disregard for both the woman's privacy and emotional wellbeing, the internet called on the star to apologise which she did  – claiming the photo was posted in error – but it's simply not enough.

Despite insisting that she loves the female form and the post was for a girlfriend and not meant to be seen by the wider public, Dani has been barred from the gym (and all its branches) and suspended from a regular slot on a radio show.

According to TMZ, a representative for the LA Fitness chain confirmed that Dani "is not permitted back at any club, ever" while the powers that be at LA's KLOS radio station have suspended the model indefinitely from her role on the Heidi and Frank Show.

Dani has deleted her Twitter account in the aftermath of the uproar.
