Supernatural: Is Gabriel still alive? We have the answer

SheKnows spoke with Speight Jr. at the recent Supernatural convention held in Burbank, California, and he gave us his theory about what Gabriel's latest appearance meant.

Exactly how you'll feel at a Supernatural convention — in GIFs

When the Trickster first appeared on the series back in Season 2's "Tall Tales," he quickly won the hearts of the fans. That love only grew when it was discovered that the man known as the Trickster was actually the archangel known as Gabriel and had just been chilling out on Earth in a Trickster disguise after running away from the insanity of Heaven. As is the fate of many beloved characters on Supernatural, Gabriel died in Season 5's "Hammer of the Gods."

Or did he?

In Season 9's "Meta Fiction," Gabriel showed up to give Castiel (Misha Collins) some sage advice, but it was revealed that the whole thing was a trick by Metatron (Curtis Armstrong). Does that mean Gabriel is really and truly dead and Castiel only saw an image projected by Metatron?

"One theory is that obviously Metatron is controlling the whole thing and that I'm really just a projection of what he wants Metatron to be and do say," Speight Jr. said about the scene. "But that makes you wonder why he doesn't just appear. Because there's no other time where Metatron does that, where he doesn't just come out and be Metatron. Secondly, little clues like snapping in and out the sequence and very specific language that is very, very Gabriel. It seems, if you don't know the guy, a little too nuanced [to be Metatron projecting an image]."

Supernatural's Misha Collins teases major midseason finale story

At the end of the pivotal scene between the two brothers, Castiel asked Gabriel if he was really dead. Gabriel didn't answer the question, which Speight Jr. called "a very loud answer" as to whether the angel is still alive.

Also, there was the fact that Robbie Thompson (who directed the episode) had some important instructions for the actor during the scene. "We met beforehand and went over the scene pretty specifically. To be honest, we were more focused on making sure that Gabriel seemed like Gabriel, not that Gabriel seemed like he wasn't Gabriel."

"I played it as if it's Gabriel," Speight Jr. continued. "I didn't play it as if it's somebody else's projection. Because even when he comes out of the thing and he's like, 'Aw, damn it,' he snaps away the scenery and then he explains why he's doing it. He doesn't speak in Metatron's voice. There's no reason for him to speak as Gabriel at that point unless he's Gabriel."

But why would Gabriel have been trying to talk Castiel into working with Metatron? Speight Jr. had an explanation for that, too.

"He's like, 'Look, here's the deal: I don't read the whole thing, I just know that [Metatron] wants to do this thing, and you should follow suit.' And Castiel kind of outs him for not having done his homework, and he's like, 'Eh, you're right.' And so he just disappears back to where he was. That, to me, seems very in character. There are certain elements that seem very in character to me.

"One is his desire to sort of help his brother — even though it's a failed attempt and a thinly researched attempt. [He wants to] help his brother because when we last saw him he was sort of trying to realign his way of thinking. To me, there are a lot of X factors that indicate it is Gabriel, and [Thompson] was trying to sprinkle the bread crumbs [in] that direction as well. So that's why it played out that way."

In the 200th episode, fans were ecstatic to see the return of Chuck (Rob Benedict). It was a surprise that Speight Jr. was aware of and happy to see as well. Now many fans want to know what both of their appearances could mean for the futures of their characters.

9 Predictions for Supernatural's Clue-themed episode

"[The writers have] tee'd the ball up to do what they want to do with some characters [that] they could definitely bring back. It's interesting because there's no question about Rob's return, whether that's Rob or not. That's Chuck, there's no gray area. For mine, it's a conversation, and I actually love that it's a conversation because that's going to drive people nuts to know whether it is or whether it isn't. That's just good drama, that's just good storytelling."

What do you think, Supernatural fans? Is Gabriel definitely still alive?


EXCLUSIVE: Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz in his own words on heartbreak and looking for love

$

I guess I wanted to do it because ever since I can remember, I have believed in it. I believe in love and nothing but love. The big kind of love, the overwhelming, the completely out of control and over the top, the "I'd do anything for you" kind of love.

Why do I believe in it? I don't know, I have no idea. All I know is that I do.

From the time I was a little boy sitting in my room in my parents' house in a tiny little village with 800 souls called Loitsche in East Germany, where I grew up, I was consumed thinking about big cities, singing, being on stage and finding my big love. My twin bother, Tom, never understood that part. He didn't give a shit about that.

My friends sometimes make fun of me and almost everyone I know thinks I have a fairy tale idea about love and they always tell me it's not like how it is in the movies — that I'm way too romantic and that all of this is just my fantasy. They say, "In real life, love works way different!"

People think I'm so naive because I've never been hurt and all I think is that they probably got hurt too much. That's why they say stuff like that. That someone broke their heart or maybe they never really loved someone enough and that's why they can't relate to what I'm talking about.

The funny thing is that I'm probably the one who got hurt the most out of all these people put together. Heartbroken, completely destroyed, the worst kind of heartbreak you can imagine. Worse than I ever thought could happen to me. Betrayed, cheated on, taken advantage of. I'm saying this without telling the whole story, of course, but I want people to know that things like this happen to me, too — to the ones who seem to be "covered in gold."

Although I'm still trying to heal, I feel like I still believe — which is a good thing. I still believe in the magic, in the big once-in-a-lifetime love. Is it gonna happen to me? I don't know. I thought I had already found it once, so maybe not… but I'm hoping, because hope is what keeps all of us going and I truly believe that love is all we are here for! No other reason. Only love!

People like to categorize and label everything. That's less dangerous; it feels safer. Especially in the industry that I'm in. I feel like it drives people nuts not to know if there is a woman or a man in my bed. That's why I've been getting the ''gay question'' ever since I turned 13, when I started giving interviews. I always wondered… why does that even matter? I thought I was here to sing and perform for people?

I never felt like I owed any answers to anyone about it and it amuses me that they made such a big deal out of it. In my world, it's not that black and white and I think that the real question should be: Why are we asking this? Why does it matter? Why do we need labels? Can we not just live?

No one knows what's gonna happen in the next minute, the next second. Who knows who I may run into? Maybe I'm just about to meet someone who changes my life forever and, if that happens, does it really matter what gender they are? What I do know is that love is the one beautiful thing we can't control. We have no power over it. We don't know where it comes from and we never know when it's gonna hit us and that's the beauty of it.

So, I guess I'll wait and see… I hope I find the magic, the type that heals what's been broken and gives me wings.

My only advice is: Love who you want to love and love who loves you back. Life is way too short.

But, then again, what the f*** do I know?

Richard Sherman puts the NFL on blast in epic press conference (VIDEO)

Top baby names from the NFL

It started out unexpectedly, as Sherman spoke at the podium while Baldwin crouched behind a cardboard cutout of himself. But, things quickly took a turn for the epic.

The players wasted no time cutting to the chase by discussing the recent news that their teammate, Marshawn Lynch, was being fined for not speaking to the media.

"You know, the other day, the league fined Marshawn Lynch $100,000," Sherman said. "$100,000. And it's like, they wouldn't have even paid him $100,000 if he had talked... Doug, do you think they would have paid him $100,000?"

"Nope, they sure wouldn't have," Baldwin responded

Baldwin and Sherman want to see an end to the NFL's habit of putting sponsorships ahead of players' interests.

Now, no one is saying NFL players aren't making a lot of money. In fact, Sherman is quick to address it.

"But, you know who does pay me a lot of money? Beats by Dre, the wonderful headphones I wear," Sherman continued. "But, the league doesn't let me say anything about them. Doug, why is that?"

"I don't know," Baldwin said. "Sounds, uh, sounds kind of hypocritical to me."

The big question is: Does the amount of money players are making give the NFL the right to manipulate stars into supporting their sponsorships or face repercussions?

It's a clear "no" in Baldwin and Sherman's opinion.

The two also poked fun at the NFL's double standards on player safety, all while cleverly inserting some more plugs for their various sponsorships.

The NFL has had a long history of double standards and illogical policies when it comes to their players, so it's nice to see some of them finally speaking out against it. We hope this encourages more players to come forward and advocate for change within the league.

It will be really interesting to see how the NFL responds to this situation, especially now that Baldwin and Sherman are creating some buzz over this issue.

"It's funny and I'm flattered," Cumberbatch told People, adding that he doesn't condone the name. "But on a serious note, come on, give yourself more power as women.

"Don't just call yourself bitches!"

Cumberbatch is fairly new to the idol game and is taking his fans seriously. He just hopes those women aren't taking that name seriously.

"I know it was a joke, and more of an empowering thing. The majority of [the fans] are smart and savvy and just having fun, but it's getting out there," he said. "It sounds a bit [rude]."

Cumberbatch even went as far as to suggest some new fan names, including "Cumbersomes? Cumbercollective? Cumberfans? There's lots of stuff!"

But no matter how much the Sherlock actor loves his fans, his heart now belongs to one woman. He was recently engaged to actress, Sophie Hunter, but he said she isn't too worried about his growing female fan base.

9 Questionable quotes from Ferguson officer Darren Wilson's first interview

$

Wilson and Stephanopoulos spoke for about an hour in a "top secret" location and, soon after, ABC began parading their prized reporter around, letting him tease details of the interview to their viewers. Part of that interview was on ABC News, while still more was drawn out on Nightline and will be aired tomorrow during Good Morning America. While we're certain we haven't seen all there is to see of the interview or the last of Wilson's face, we thought we'd share a few key moments from the interview.

Twitter spirals into rage and disappointment after Ferguson grand jury announcement

1. Wilson's description of the blow he took from Brown

"The next thing [I thought] was how do I survive," Wilson said. "I didn't know if I'd be able to withstand another hit like that."

Brown was a large kid, that's for sure, and Wilson is by no means an imposing figure. Still, having seen pictures of the damage caused by their altercation, we can't help but feel like fearing for his life during hand-to-hand combat might be a little excessive.

2. On the moment he first unholstered his gun

Wilson went on to describe the moment during which he and Brown struggled within the police car.

"I take [the gun] out and I point it at him and what I said was, 'Get back or I'm going to shoot you,'" Wilson described. "And then his response, immediately, he grabbed the top of my gun. And when he grabbed it he said, 'You're too much of a pussy to shoot me.'"

3. How Wilson claimed that first shot went down

"I could feel his hand come over my hand and try to get inside the trigger guard and try and shoot me with my own gun," Wilson went on to explain. "And that's when I pulled the trigger for the first time. It didn't go off. The gun was actually being jammed by his hand being on top of the firearm. So, I tried again and again, another click. At this time, I'm like, 'This has to work or otherwise I'm gonna be dead. He's gonna get this gun away from me, something going to happen and I'm going to be dead.' So, I pulled the third time and it finally goes off."

4. On if there was anything that could have been done differently

With the interview apparently "no holds barred," Stephanopoulos attempted to go big, asking Wilson if there was anything he could have done differently that may have changed the tragic situation that quickly unfolded. Wilson quickly and resolutely responded, "No."

5. Really? Nothing?

Stephanopoulos went on to question whether Wilson could have stayed in the car, instead of pursuing Brown on foot. Again, Wilson claims he did exactly what he believed was right.

"My job isn't to just sit and wait. I have to see where this guy goes," Wilson explained. " I mean, that's what we were trained to do."

6. And what about his conscience? Is it clean?

While an entire city and a large chunk of the nation still believe Michael Brown's blood is on Wilson's hands, he remains resolute that no ill will was meant. He was keeping himself alive and regrets nothing.

"The reason I have a clean conscience is because I know I did my job right," Wilson stated plainly.

7. He's seemingly unaffected by Brown's death

Despite whether one acts out of malice or out of self-defense, most people would agree that knowing they've killed someone would weigh on them. Stephanopoulos asked Wilson if Brown's death would haunt him and, of all his answers, this felt the most shocking.

"I don't think it's haunting," Wilson said calmly. "It's always going to be something that happened."

Brown's death may not haunt Wilson, but it's spooked our nation. Ferguson is smoldering and cities across America are seeing protestors take to the streets in dismay with the racial discord that still plagues our country.

"You don't have to make a whore out of yourself to get ahead," Midler told the Telegraph during a recent interview.

Harsh! Did Bette Midler just call Ariana Grande a "whore"?

Apparently, Grande is more than shocked by the interview because, not only is she a huge Midler fan, but because Midler did the exact same thing Grande is doing.

The singer took to social media today to respond publicly.

Midler didn't stop with one passing comment about Grande, either. She continued during the Telegraph interview, saying, "It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous. I mean, it's silly beyond belief and I don't know who's telling her to do it."

"I wish they'd stop," Midler continued, referencing whoever's giving Grande the advice. "I wish they'd stop. But it's not my business. I'm not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that's what you've got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold."

So far, Midler has yet to comment further, but we can't wait to find out if the Hocus Pocus star will have anything else to say on the issue, especially after Grande's tweets.

Do you think Bette Midler was right to call out Ariana Grande or does she owe the young singer an apology?

Watch Lisa Kudrow and Jennifer Aniston scream 17 curse words at each other

The actress was going through interviews for her new film, Horrible Bosses 2, when she was asked to make the interview awkward and horrible for the reporter, BBC Radio 1's Chris Stark. Bonus points for Aniston, because Stark's first interview with the actress received more than 3 million views due to his awkward questioning.

One of Stark's coworkers, fellow DJ, Scott Mills, asked Aniston to "play the role of worst interviewee ever," according to Us Weekly. Although Stark's questioning seemed to start out OK, the actress soon became uncomfortable with the questioning, after Stark asked her if she liked to "make the first move" when beginning to date.

"First of all, I don't think that's an extremely appropriate question to ask," Aniston replied. "I'm also committed to somebody. I don't hit on people."

Stark attempted to explain himself, adding that someone had told him to ask the question.

"I'm sorry. It just kind of seems a little inappropriate," Aniston continued. "Just in terms of saying, 'How do you hit on people?'"

But Stark continued his interview and asked more questions — a few of which might have been considered awkward either way — including if she takes any inspiration from her sex-crazed character in the film. Aniston responded with as equal animosity as to the previous question.

Justin Theroux is the key to Jennifer Aniston's happiness

After Mills entered the room, Stark melted into his chair — and Aniston apologized profusely.

"This is my actual nightmare right now," he said. "I just wanted to talk to you. I genuinely was like, 'I want someone to swallow me up right now.'"

Bette Midler

Bette Midler is the most recent celeb to throw shade at young female singers who make music videos with strong sexual content. In an interview with the Telegraph, Midler said, "It's always surprising to see someone like Ariana Grande with that silly high voice, a very wholesome voice, slithering around on a couch looking so ridiculous. I mean, it's silly beyond belief, and I don't know who's telling her to do it. I wish they'd stop. But it's not my business, I'm not her mother. Or her manager. Maybe they tell them that's what you've got to do. Sex sells. Sex has always sold."

Sinead O'Connor

Remember in October 2013, when Sinead O'Connor penned a letter to Miley Cyrus after Cyrus credited O'Connor for inspiring Cyrus' controversial "Wrecking Ball" video? Among other things, O'Connor wrote, "I am extremely concerned for you that those around you have led you to believe, or encouraged you in your own belief, that it is in any way 'cool' to be naked and licking sledgehammers in your videos. It is in fact the case that you will obscure your talent by allowing yourself to be pimped, whether it's the music business or yourself doing the pimping."

Katy Perry

Also in October of last year, Perry had a few choice words to say on the topic of excessive female nudity in music videos. In an interview with NPR, Perry said, "I do see myself becoming this, whatever, inspiration out of default right now, 'cause it's such a strange world. Like, females in pop — everybody's getting naked. I mean, I've been naked before, but I don't feel like I have to always get naked to be noticed. But it's interesting to see."

We were sick of pop tarts, 'til Britney Spears and Katy Perry did this

Rashida Jones

Actress RashidaJones has been very vocal about risqué music video trends. Last fall, Jones launched a #stopactinglikewhores campaign after tweeting that the female celeb who showed the actual inside of her vagina was the most popular.

In April of this year at the Women in the World Summit, Jones said this on the topic of overexposed pop stars: "It's not just Miley [Cyrus], you know. I don't blame anybody individually for their expression of themselves. I'm just worried about the collective messaging that's happening for girls. Say what you will. 'You're not a role model.' Fine, you are. You have no choice in the matter. You're selling tickets to lots of young girls. Young girls don't know the difference between what's real and what's entertainment."

Slow clap for Rashida Jones' recent take on Miley Cyrus types

Lorde

Before Lorde was besties with Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez, she took issue with both. Lorde told Rolling Stone magazine, "I'm a feminist and the theme of [Selena Gomez's] song is, 'When you're ready come and get it from me.' I'm sick of women being portrayed this way."

Annie Lennox

About the time Sinead O'Connor was expressing concern over Miley Cyrus videos, Annie Lennox penned a Facebook post expressing concern over "highly stylized pornography with musical accompaniment." In a September 2014 interview with PrideSource, Lennox questioned Beyoncé as a feminist and followed it up with, "What can I tell you? Sex always sells. And there's nothing wrong with sex selling, but it depends on your audience. If they're 7-year-old kids, I have issues with it."

Pink

In response to the Miley Cyrus VMAs performance seen around the world, where she twerked against Robin Thicke's then-married crotch, Pink told E! Online, "She's really freaking talented; she's beautiful. She can sing her ass off and to go up there and do that? She's cheating herself and she's cheating the rest of us. She can do what she wants. People can like it if they want. I'm not going to buy it. She can do better. I've seen her do better."

Kate Winslet

As the mother of a teenage daughter, Kate Winslet seemed less than impressed when she told Psychologies magazine, "You think about someone like Miley Cyrus, and I said to my daughter the other day, 'I'm this close to opening my mouth about what's going on with that girl. God, who's looking after these people and why does it seem like they're losing their way?'"

Harsh! Did Bette Midler just call Ariana Grande a "whore"?

The comparisons between Grande and Carey began to spring up after Grande first came on to the pop scene, and Grande really seems to be capitalizing on the parallels between herself and the iconic Carey.

Grande is not the first female artist to have the comparison drawn (Christina Aguilera was referred to as "Baby Mariah" when "Genie in a Bottle" came out in the early '00s), but she is the first who has chosen to closely emulate Carey's career. Take a look at these eerie similarities.

We're obsessed with Hayley Williams and Joy Williams' new in-studio duet (VIDEO)

Did The Civil Wars just break up?

"When we met, I was 12 and Joy was like 18 or 19, I think," Hayley told NPR. "I was already a fan of hers. It was fate that we became friends. She was always giving great advice and listening to songs I'd written or big plans I had about becoming a real artist."

Joy added, "Our friendship has grown deeper as we've grown up, and I think we've gotten even closer in the last year. I've always loved how we've been able to pick up where we left off, no matter how long it's been."

Hayley, who fronts rock outfit, Paramore, and Joy, formerly the lead singer of the now-defunct Civil Wars, released the duet, "I Hate to See Your Heartbreak," tonight on the deluxe version of Paramore's self-titled 2013 album.

Paramore cancels tour dates due to exhaustion

"We were both feeling a little melancholy," Hayley told NPR about writing the song. "We just sort of meshed each of our individual ideas and they fit together perfectly. As far as the old-school vibe of it, I think down deep I had been dying to write a song like this for a long time. What I love about 'Heartbreak,' in particular, is that both vocal melodies are strong enough to be leads, but they sort of act as harmonies to each other."

For Joy, according to NPR, the harmonies came very naturally.

"Since I grew up harmonizing with women, it felt really natural singing with Hayley," she said. "I remember she and I talked that day in studio, about how we have some similar traits in our voices. All we had to do was give into that for our harmonies to really come together. The blend felt natural, very much like family. I think women have a mysterious way of tapping into each other if they know each other well, and I felt that."

Sorry, Gale. Normally, we trust you implicitly. But these super-rex-velociraptor-saurs look pretty hardcore. Kat's badass, but can you ever really beat a genetic resurrection? With giant teeth, no less?

Dinocrocs, be damned

Sometimes, getting over a fear takes a leap of faith. Apparently, getting away from a super-secret hybrid dinosaur from hell involves jumping over a cliff into waters in which Dinocrocs may potentially dwell.

Tributes are bound to fall

It's only natural. Plus, the tribute pool has to be drained somehow, right? Going by way of a deadly extinct killer is a pretty cool legacy.

The Hunger Games would not be complete without a terrifying chase of some sort. Any Jurassic Park movie would not be complete without a terrifying chase of some sort. Heretofore, when Jurassic World is the arena, there will be liberal terrifying chases involving Peeta, Katniss and prehistoric harbingers of doom.

Still, if Katniss gets a hold of her bow and arrow, Gale has his gun and Peeta has all the unrequited love in his heart, we imagine the Hunger Games trio could kick some serious dinosaur ass. Sorry, velociraptors — these tributes might send you back to District, uh, Zero?

We're thrilled who the Dancing with the Stars Season 19 winner is

Why might Alfonso Ribeiro bow out of the DWTS semifinals?

And the winner is... Alfonso Ribeiro!

The former Fresh Prince of Bel Air actor took home the trophy in the Season 19 finale of the popular show, after a season of breaking the expectations fans — and the judges — had about the actor, who is said to have been "pigeon holed" by playing a character as iconic as Carlton.

Alfonso and his partner, Whitney, were favored to win by multiple news outlets, including Hollywood Life, which said of the now-winner, "Of all the contestants, Alfonso has been the one who always looked like he was having the absolute best time every week. His enthusiasm has been completely contagious and we have seen it infecting his entire body. In his eyes, smile and all the way down to his happy feet. And this is despite the fact that he's been suffering from groin and back injuries. He's had to dance through his pain, and none of the judges or his fans would have known it from his performances."

This sweet star is the biggest surprise of DWTS Season 19

Some of Alfonso's more memorable performances from the season included his famous — or maybe infamous — "Carlton dance," as well as a freestyle tap dance. Both earned him perfect scores and rave reviews from the judges; as Bruno Tonioli put it, it was "how you tap your way to the top."

Alfonso's enthusiasm was so apparent all season, maybe because he's said he wanted to appear on Dancing with the Stars for years.

"I've always wanted to do the show," he's said. "When they finally came to me and offered me the opportunity to do this season I was totally into it and thought it would be great."

VIDEO: Does Paul Rudd rule the Jimmy Fallon lip-synch battles?

The magic of the internet bequeathed us with another nugget of amazingness this week. This time, it takes the form of Paul Rudd's fraternity yearbook photo from the '80s.

According to BuzzFeed, the pic was taken during Rudd's time at the University of Kansas and the years have clearly been kind to Rudd. His face has hardly aged a bit, despite his love of partying, and his hair these days is a little more clean-cut, though slightly less radical.

We can't help but be reminded of these things when we gaze at that glorious head of hair.

The lusciousness of the beard that led Brian Wilson and the San Francisco Giants through the 2012 World Series is likely the same magic that has guided Rudd's career.

Kevin Federline's penis pic is so wrong, but not for the reason you think

Kevin Federline doesn't want his son to perform in Vegas

There is apparently a picture that has been blowing up on the internet that shows Federline in all smiles as he lies on a couch in a baggy navy T-shirt with his pants pulled down and his penis exposed and firmly in his grip — or is it?

If you thought this was your opportunity to finally see Federline naked, then not so fast. According to TMZ, this raunchy penis-exposing picture of the former backup dancer — that has fast and furiously been making its way around the internet — is a complete fake! And how do they know that it's fake? Well, apparently Federline's slong is much, much bigger in real life.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's tax lien

Sources close to the father-of-six have revealed to the gossip outlet that the picture is 100 percent Photoshopped because not only are there no tattoos around the crotch area (which the dancer reportedly has in real life), but also the size is just not right!

This wouldn't be the first faked celeb nude picture we've ever come across over the years, but it is amusing that someone still wants to fake Federline and his penis — c'mon, he's hardly an A-list celebrity.

So far, there has been no one to validate the claims that Federline's "baby maker" is much bigger in real life, and we don't expect Spears to be passing comment on her ex-husband's junk anytime soon, either.

Teen Mom 2 fans, one of your favorite stars has quit the show

Messer has been struggling to hold onto her marriage to husband Jeremy Calvert, and according to Radar Online, one of the reasons the reality TV star decided to end her time on the MTV show Teen Mom 2 is because she didn't want the pressure of the show to worsen her already fragile marital situation.

"Things are still rocky for them," a friend of Messer, whose married name is now Calvert, revealed to the publication. "Leah is doing everything she can to keep her family together, including leaving reality TV. All the attention from the show played a hand in one failed marriage, and she's not going to let that happen again."

Teen Mom 2's Leah Messer and her cryptic tweets have us worried

However, if her husband's cryptic Twitter messages are anything to go by, then divorce could be imminent. Jeremy took to Twitter to write the word "done," which many instantly thought could be related to his marriage, especially because he has been following hot models on Twitter lately, but is reportedly not following his wife.

But he was fully aware that his message would spark the interest of the media as he jokingly commented about it with a follow-up tweet.

Whatever is going on between these two, we hope they are able to salvage their marriage and make things work. According to Radar Online, no legal documents have yet to be filed.

Forrest Gump turns 20! Celebrate by recycling these quotes

Taking to Instagram on Nov. 19,  the Forrest Gump actor's son, whom he shares with Rita Wilson, revealed that he had an announcement to make: He has been battling his inner demons since he was a teenager, and only recently has he managed to turn his life around.

'I've been struggling with substance abuse since I was 16 years old," he wrote. "Finally at the age of 24 I decided to get some help."

"With 50 days of sobriety under my belt, I can honestly say I'm the happiest I've ever been. I'm thankful for my family and everybody that cares about me, including my fans," he continued. "I've been blessed with the programs of AA and NA which allow me to rise above this disease. I'm learning to accept my faults and be OK with being human. If anybody that sees this struggles with addiction, feel free to reach out."

There is also a video on the post (which be warned includes a few curse words) in which Chet explains that a tabloid was going to run a story about him being in rehab, but it is all true.

Despite the fact that he has famous parents, Chet has tried to make it on his own and launch his rapping career, which he performs under the stage name "Chet Haze."

According to the Daily Mail, he has previously written lyrics that detail his love for alcohol and weed, something that he has previously addressed, saying, "It's part of college life; I wanted to rap about something that I do. But I wouldn't say that's what my life is all about. … I'm not some caricature of a person who just drinks and smokes weed and parties all the time."

Awkward season finale: The 9 most not-so-shocking shockers

Ranked: Definitive list of most awkward Awkward characters

So, let's take a look at some of these moments and break them down into two categories: the legit shockers and the wannabe shockers.

Wannabe shocker: Lacey is pregnant

Yeah, as soon as a woman vomits on television, you know she's baking something in that oven of hers. My notes literally say, "Lacey vomiting — obviously pregnant." And, sure enough, 30 seconds later, she was telling Hot Dad Whose Baby We Would Carry In A Heartbeat™ that he was about to enjoy a second go on the parenting ride.

Legit shocker: Jenna is totally cool with it

Hands up if you thought Jenna would be a brat about losing her only child status? You may all now put your hands down. Not only was Jenna totally mature about being a mature-age, first-time sibling, she shut down Lacey's idea that having this baby meant nixing her plans to go to college.

Wannabe shocker: Tamara got engaged

OK, so I'm being a little unfair here. Tamara getting engaged came totally out of the blue. However, something insanely impulsive, oh, you know, like getting engaged to someone in Mexico who you've only known for un minuto caliente, is not at all out of character for her. So, no, you may not color us surprised about this development.

MTV renews Awkward for fifth, final season

Legit shocker: Tamara has become mute

Yep, Tamara was so mesmerized by Adam, her extremely new fiancé, that she managed to not speak for a good 20 seconds, which is pretty much the longest time she's been on-screen without opening her mouth to let words come out. Currently, Adam thinks she doesn't speak all that much, so we won't be shocked when she does find her voice again and Adam wishes he'd never turned his chair around for her. Now, I'm actually imagining Tamara on The Voice and wishing I'd never made that analogy. Save yourselves while you still can!

Wannabe shocker: Val is quitting her job and going traveling

OK, sure.

Legit shocker: Val interacted with a shark and didn't die

Um, you guys, I am from Australia, so trust me when I tell you that, usually, sharks don't just placidly stay there when you "pet" them in the open water. Most of the time, you're lucky if you come away with only one less limb. And the "juvenile" shark Val was making friends with? Yeah, I'm just going to suggest everyone Google "juvenile great white shark" and "bite" and leave it at that. What a fun, private time activity, one that those who live coastal might like to consider avoiding at all costs. Perhaps that Marine friend of Jenna's who wants to be a marine biologist can explain how great whites work?

Ashley Rickards talks paranormal activity, shares super-scary ghost encounter

Wannabe shocker: Sadie will miss Sergio

Turns out, Sadie cranked her usual venom-spewing levels to 11 because she's going to miss Sergio when she heads off to Columbia. Well, obviously. We're all acting out because we're going to miss Sergio. It was more shocking that she had a moment of introspection and was herself able to identify why she was employing a particular brand of douche canoe. Us? We knew why she was doing it from the moment she hurled her first post-"Hameltamp" insult this episode.

Legit shocker: The term "bio dad" is sticking

You guys, it sounds like Matty's biological father is actually bionic when they throw this term around. Please, cease usage of this label immediately. No good can come of it if no artificial limbs are going to make an appearance. While we're talking about Matty's dad, though, and apologies if this is a very fishing-ignorant question, but is that actually where fishermen usually position their poles? Because we're starting to understand why they call them "rods."

Wannabe shocker: Jake and Gabby hooked up

That writing was on the wall as soon as Gabby put her arms out for a hug, and that writing was so obvious, it actually said, "Gabby and Jake will have hooked up the next time you see them."

hilarious video from El Homiguero

You've probably never heard the phrase "dale la vuelta a la tortilla." To be honest, I'm Cuban and speak fluent Spanish, and even I had never heard it. But man, am I glad these big stars got together to sing about it!

Apparently saying this expression is how people in Spain deal with having a bad day. In this hilarious video from El Homiguero, we get to hear all about the phrase as Latino and non-Latino stars alike get together to sing, dance and tell you all about flipping the tortilla. It's a take on "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade" that I simply love. Plus, it wasn't exactly hard on the eyes to watch some of these attractive guys sing, much less sing in sexy Spanish.

Watch the video above for your daily dose of adorable. And don't forget to turn on your subtitles!

Will True Tori continue without Dean McDermott? Tori spills

Spelling dropped by The Meredith Vieira Show this morning and shared some much-needed insight with fans of her reality show, True Tori. The show, which famously follows her marriage as she navigates healing after McDermott's cheating, has given fans an up close and personal look at Spelling's life, marriage and couples counseling session. However, it's also been a point of contention in their already rocky marriage.

That time we actually cheered for Dean McDermott

"I can’t keep opening a vein, opening my soul and sharing my feelings and thoughts and demons with the world," McDermott told Access Hollywood earlier in November. "I don't watch it. I can't. It's really difficult. I can't do it anymore, for my soul."

After that declaration, many believed it was a sign that McDermott was done with True Tori and, thus, the end of the show was in sight. Spelling set the record straight on the show, though. She said it was true that McDermott would be leaving, but that doesn't put an end to the show.

"I don't think so," Spelling answered, when asked if the show would end. "For me, you know, it's True Tori. I have a lot more to tell. I have four children, I'm a mom, I'm a woman and I want to go on."

18 Million reasons Tori Spelling is living paycheck to paycheck

McDermott's absence will still usher in plenty of changes for True Tori. The show spent plenty of time focused on the couple's pillow talks about their relationship, the family, the day and their self-doubts. That will most certainly disappear. We should also stop expecting to see those tearful couples counseling sessions we all look forward to.

Is this a sign of trouble for their marriage? Not necessarily. The trouble in Spelling's marriage began long before, when McDermott cheated on her. (Or perhaps even sooner, when he left his first wife to be with Spelling after they had their affair.) If anything, it's possible some real, true and unfilmed counseling sessions might foster actual healing between the two stars. That is, ultimately, what we want for Spelling and McDermott, after all.
