‘What Would Ryan Lochte Do?’ Premiere: Olympic Swimmer’s E! Reality Show, Jeah or Nah? Twitter Reacts to WWRLD

Although most viewers agree that Lochte looks just as good as he did during the Olympics, Twitter reactions are still deciding if the new reality show is a "jeah" or "nah" (the exact meaning of Lochte's made up word "jeah" is not known, but here it is assumed to have a positive connotation). Here's a brief recap: In the first episode of WWRLD? viewers catch a glimpse of the 28-year-old's daily activities in Gainesville, Florida which include training for the 2016 Olympics in Rio, going out with his "Loctherage"/ "turning it up at all times," searching for love, and hanging out with his family. After taking a brief swim in the rather "shallow" pool of Lochte, viewers of the new E! reality show learned that the swimmer owns an abundance of shoes, his body is still pretty amazing even after the Olympics, he has a close-knit family, he did actually attend college (University of Florida), he likes sushi & takes all of his dates to the same sushi restaurant, he coins way too many catchphrases, his favorite movie is Mel Gibson's "What Women Want," his "game" is not the strongest outside of the pool, and he can barely string a full, competent sentence together...but did we mention he looks fabulous in the shirtless shots?

The '3 Doors Down' bassist, Todd Harrell, was reportedly arrested in Nashville on Friday night and faces "vehicular homicide" charges after killing a man in a fatal car crash, reports Rolling Stone. The rock band member's "Kryptonite" that lead to the tragic death of 47-year-old Paul Howard Shoulders was a mixture of prescription pills and hard cider. A statement from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said a preliminary investigation showed that Harrell was driving west at a high rate of speed on Interstate 40 in the Nashville suburb of Hermitage, when his car clipped a pickup truck driven by Shoulders. Police said the pickup then went out of control, struck a guardrail, went down an embankment and overturned. Shoulders was ejected and was allegedly not wearing a seat-belt. Harrell's Cadillac struck the retaining wall and stopped about a quarter mile away. According to CNN, police said that the 41-yeear-old musician showed signs of impairment and acknowledged he had consumed hard cider and taken the prescription pills Lortab and Xanax prior to getting into the car crash.
