Jenni Farley Shares Intimate Photo of New, YOUNG Boyfriend

Jenni Farley has dropped a few new details about her mysterious new boyfriend. About two weeks after the veteran Jersey Shore star revealed to the world that she’s dating once again , Farley appeared on the It’s Happening With Snooki & Joey podcast to gush and gush over this anonymous individual. And then gush some more. Unfortunately, Farley didn’t mention her lover’s name, but she did hint that he would either appear on Season 3 of the revived Jersey Shore… … or at least be referenced many times on upcoming episodes. “We’re filming Jersey Shore right now and we nicknamed him ’24,’” Farley teased to the co-hosts, one of whom is her best friend and MTV colleague. Farley then explained this nickname was simple to settle on — because the boyfriend is only 24 years old! “I decided to move on and I moved on with a 24-year old,” she said of both her former relationship and her current one.  “Life is a f-cking roller coaster, but it’s very enjoyable. I’m living my best life right now.” We’re just glad this roller coaster is on a high point at the moment… following many months of low notes for the reality star. Farley filed for divorce from Roger Mathews in September after three years of marriage and two kids. A few weeks later, the estranged spouses got into such a heated altercation that police were called to the scene and Mathews was slapped with a restraining order. From there, both sides accused the other of either verbal or physical abuse, battling over their history and their future; with Farley vowing to never let Mathews get custody of his son or daughter. It’s been a seriously ugly break-up, one of the worst on record. But Farley now has a 24-year old in her life to ride, sharing an intimate photo of the pair in bed together (way up top) while still waiting a bit to divulge too much information about him. Still, over the past couple weeks, Farley has posted a picture of the two sharing wine on a date and also riding in the car, writing as a caption at one point that her ” face hurts from smiling ” so much over this individual. “Jwoww has moved on and is happy,” her rep added in mid-April to Us Weekly. Thankfully, it also appears as if her relationship with Mathews has been mended… to some extent, at least. As you can see in the image below, the two put differences aside and spent Easter with their young children . This made us very happy to see. Snooki, meanwhile, has seemingly met Farley’s boyfriend and gives him two giant thumbs up. “He’s very handsome, by the way,” Snooki said this week on her podcast, adding of her close pal: “Jenni has been going through some sh-t, but I’ve never seen this girl more happier and more herself than this moment right now.” We’re so glad to hear this, considering it wasn’t all that long ago that Farley wrote the following to Mathews: “You have pushed me. You have shoved me. You have aggressively thrown me to the ground. You have prevented me from closing doors to escape having you coming at me. You have belittled and disparaged me. You have threatened me.” View Slideshow: Roger Mathews Pens Letter to Jenni Farley, Admits to Abuse But that was then and this is now. “She is being an adult about the divorce and working towards being better coparents,” an insider previously told Us Weekly, concluding: “As far as the divorce, there is no reconciliation in the future and she is excited about continuing to move on with her life.”

Alaskan Bush People: Renewed for Season 10 … or Canceled??

Just because Alaskan Bush People is heavily edited doesn’t mean that viewers are done with the show or with the Brown family. But how does the network feel, especially after this past season’s slight ratings slump? Will Alaskan Bush People continue, or simply fade into the wilderness? RadarOnline  is reporting some amazing news for fans of  Alaskan Bush People . Discovery has decided to renew the reality series for yet another season. This will be Season 10. Billy and Ami Brown are of course “thrilled” at this news. This means another season of telling their story and sharing it with America and the world. This welcome renewal also means another season of the kinds of fat paychecks that have turned them into millionaires. This isn’t a secret that the family’s been sitting on for ages, either. We’re learning of this just a short time after they did. “Billy and Ami were just informed this week,” an insider shares. “That the network would like to do another season” “And of course,” the source adds. “They were on board.” Yeah, we should think so. Season 8’s ratings were so titanic that they put  Keeping Up With The Kardashians  to shame. Season 9 saw a bit of a dip in viewership, but there was a major light at the end of that tunnel. “They were a bit worried because of lower than usual ratings last season,” the insider notes. “But after the finale brought in big numbers for them,” the source continues. The insider explains: “They knew that season 10 would likely be happening.” We don’t yet know next season’s specific storylines, or how much the family’s actual lives are going to make it onto television. But behind the scenes, things aren’t doing so well for the Browns. Oh, their careers are better than ever and their finances are enough that Billy bought their 435 acre property without selling their Beverly Hills mansion. But in terms of actual family dynamics? It sounds like things are deeply complicated. At the moment, Matt Brown — who has made great strides in his sobriety journey — is avoiding his parents at all costs. He’s currently living in southern California with his girlfriend. Reports say that he has zero inclination to go spend time with his family at the moment, and not just because he has a girlfriend. And then there’s Rain, who is 16 years old and the youngest of Billy and Ami’s children. Rain is a teenager and absolutely fatigued with being stuck at home. Reports say that she’s clashing with her sister, Bird, and that she looks forward to adulthood so that she can get some breathing room. Speaking of Rain, her best friend, Raquell Rose, is now part of the family. But a report claims that her marriage to Gabe Brown was more of a shotgun wedding, at the insistence of Billy. We cannot confirm if that is true, but if so, it would mean that Raquell was pregnant at the time. Then there’s Bam Bam, who apparently resents his family for their alleged treatment of his own lady love. What can we say? Family is complicated. But the Brown family hopes that this new season could get people talking again and possibly help make things right. “Billy and Ami are confident that everyone will settle their differences,” the source reports. “And,” the insider adds, they hope that their kids will “come together as a family once they see some figures.” Nothing makes semi-estranged siblings talk again like money, we suppose.

Alaskan Bush People Preview: Bird Brown Hunts Bison!

Fans are excited that Alaskan Bush People is back for Season 9 , and the next episode has a lot to offer. As the trailer that we have included reveals, the Brown family is going on a special trip.. It's their very first bison hunt. “There's nothing better than a little adventure,” family patriarch Billy Brown says at the start of the trailer. He then predicts: “This oughta be the darndest trip we've ever been on, guys.” He then shares that it's a hunting trip, and that he has a particular quarry in mind. “We're going buffalo hunting,” Billy announces. Oh wow! That is going to be … controversial, among other things. As you can see from the video, he is clearly referring to bison, not to buffalo — an all-too-common mistake. Buffalo are a species that live in Europe and Asia. Bison live in the Americas. Bird admits that this is a new one for her. “I've never actually seen a buffalo in person.” And she still has not, but she's now seen bison. “As he's charging,” Billy predicts. “You'll realize it's a buffalo.” Rain asks: “They charge you?” Yes, though if you're hunting a large animal and it gets close enough to charge you, you've probably made some sort of catastrophic mistake. “I wouldn't mind making a yearly tradition out of this,” Billy confesses. Astoundingly, Bird says: “I agree.” There's a reason for which the Brown family is embarking upon this trip. “Winter's getting close,” Billy notes. He notes that “It's time to really seriously start preparing.” The Brown family has been known to hunt deer and sustain themselves upon hunted meat during the past. Billy then says something along the lines of “we can't afford,” followed by something unintelligible. The trailer then gives viewers a minimal context glimpse of Bird looking down the scope, presumably at a bison. “Just be patient,” one voice says. Another cautions: “We're gonna lose our shot, Bird.” Finally, another voice advises: “Take it.” Bird fires a shot. Now, is this legal? Though Billy and Ami both have criminal histories, we imagine that now that they have so much to lose, they got the necessary permits. (They're going on camera) Is this ethical? Well, bison are no longer endangered — they are classified as “near threatened,” with a stable population. This is a very recent change. If you believe that there's ever an excuse for millionaires to hunt wild animals for fun when grocery stores exist, sure , this is ethical. If you don't believe that but you're curious about how bison tastes, you should know that bison farms exist. Presumably, the Brown family know about those, too — but a family going grocery shopping doesn't really have the same suspense or entertainment value. Remember, the Browns have become very wealthy through their show, but they can only continue the show by maintaining this lifestyle on camera. Some fans and viewers feel tricked and deceived. Others just accept that it's all part of show business.

Alaskan Bush People Season 9 Premiere Date Revealed!

As we reported last fall, Alaskan Bush People was renewed for Season 9 . That ninth season now has a premiere date. And it’s sooner than you might think. Take a look: According to The Discovery Channel, no actual release date has been officially announced for Alaskan Bush People . But that doesn’t mean that a date hasn’t been set. They just haven’t chosen to reveal it yet. However, TV Insider has reported that the captivating reality series will begin airing again on Sunday, March 3. Three new episodes will begin airing at 8pm on that date, the report says. Take note that we’re reporting this at the end of January, right before the shortest month of the year.  If this report holds true, you’ll be seeing Alaskan Bush People within 32 days. The landscape that you see here in this landscape photo snapped by 16-year-old Rain Brown is not of Alaska, but of Washington. Handling the family’s transition from living in both Alaska and Beverly Hills to living in rural Washington was only part of last season’s struggle. The entire family adjusted to their new life, but most of everyone’s attention was on family matriarch Ami Brown. Ami had survived a lengthy cancer battle — one that was widely expected to claim her life in 2017. But Ami is still around — and continuing to be regularly screened for the cancer’s resurgence. And she was not the only member of the family whose personal ups and downs captured the attention of fans. In November, Matt Brown checked out of rehab after 30 days. This time, he is committed to remaining sober. He is reportedly making use of meetings, a sober coach, and the emotional support of his family. This was his second time in rehab, but the first was years ago. Matt explained that he relapsed during his mother’s cancer battle. Almost all substance abuse is some sort of coping mechanism. We are so glad that Matt is taking these steps to secure his health. Noah Brown will welcom a new Alaskan Bush baby with his wife, Rhain Aisha. Their due date is this spring. Noah was sometimes seen as the family “black sheep” by fans, but they were overjoyed to see him tie the knot. He and Rhain married after a not-too-lengthy engagement. Hey, when you know, you know. Rain shared this photo some time ago of herself third-wheeling with her brother, Gabe Brown, and his girlfriend. Raquell Rose and Rain are besties, so she’s of course happy that the two of them are so happy together. In October, it was reported that Gabe Brown may marry Raquell . Neither of them ever made an actual announcement. However, perhaps inspired by Noah’s nuptials (that’s just fan speculation, though), Gabe reportedly filed for a marriage license late last year. We do not yet know their current status, but we are of course very happy for them. And that brings us to Rain, who turned 16 years old last November. Though the youngest in the family (until Rhain gives birth), Rain is the family’s de facto spokesperson. Rain’s social media presence boasts nearly 100,000 Instagram followers. She has been open about discussing her emotional highs and lows. “Don’t let the clouds fool you,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself in the sunlight. “The sun’s always there” “Stay strong,” she tagged her post. “Stay happy.” Rain has been very open with fans and followers about her battle with depression. As recently as Wednesday morning, she took to Instagram to deliver an update. “Some days are so bad all you can do is lay in bed,” she confesses. “On those days,” Rain writes. “It helps to have an angel by your side.” “Love you mr PT bardum,” she praises her cat. “You’re my strength.” “It’s okay not to be okay,” she tagged the post. She is absolutely right. We cannot wait to catch up with the whole family on March 3! In the mean time, we look forward to seeing a trailer in the next few weeks.

Noah Brown: Rhain IS Taking My Last Name, No Matter WHAT My Family Says!

On Wednesday, August 15, Alaskan Bush People star Noah Brown married Rhain in a heartwarming wedding ceremony. Some “fans” of the show and the family have never liked Rhain, and rumors began to surface that Rhain wasn’t allowed to take Noah’s last name. Noah has come forward to clear things up, once and for all. Noah Brown spoke to RadarOnline to lay this rumor to rest. “Rhain is my wife,” Noah affirmed. Not that there was any doubt — but, especially for newlyweds, that statement can feel powerful. “And,” Noah continued. “She is my wife for life.” Noah then makes it clear: “and of course she will be taking my last name.” Noah cannot help but gush about his new life. “It feels wonderful to be married,” Noah shares. He mentions that his wedding date was a long time coming. “Rhain and I were engaged for over a year,” he reminds fans, before repeating: “And we are finally married.” He really loves saying it. That is so cute. He says that the feeling of being married has really improved his life. “It is like this huge weight has been lifted,” Noah says. They’re no longer engaged and deciding when and where to get married or trying to work out any of those details. Noah concludes: “We can finally focus on being husband and wife.” Good for them! Obviously, not ever woman who marries a man then goes and changes her last name to match his. Some hyphenate. Some simply leave their names as they are. It depends on many factors, but ultimately comes down to personal preference. Changing a name can be a troublesome and time-consuming and expensive process. It was probably a lot simpler a century ago when few women were gainfully employed or owned property. Sometimes, it can take a new bride some time to change her name — remember, you have to change things like deeds and bank accounts in the process. Just because someone hasn’t raced to do so instead of going on her honeymoon doesn’t mean that she’s never changing her name. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions. Noah has been something of a black sheep in his family, which is probably why he gets more grief from fans and viewers than Bam Bam does. Both sons fell in love and moved on with their lives, but Noah was always a little weird (yes, even weirder than his siblings). The kid who’s a little goth isn’t going to thrive out in the wilderness, folks. He’s a grown man and he’s allowed to live his wife. Some fans turned their ire on Rhain, even accusing her of “copying” Noah’s sister Rain’s name, because Rhain’s birth name is Ruth. Folks, people can change their names any time that they like.  We’re not sure why people think that Rhain would want to copy her now-husband’s sister’s name. Noah dragged Rain on Instagram just a couple of months ago. Also, Rain Brown’s full name is  Merry Christmas Kathryn Raindrop Brown . How would you even begin to “copy” that? We’re so glad that Noah and Rhain found each other and we hope that they continue to enjoy their wedded bliss. Fans (and so-called “fans”) will continue to say whatever they like about Noah and Rhain, but the further removed from reality television that Noah is, the less that these haters can touch them.

Alaskan Bush People Season 8 to Focus on Ami’s Cancer

We have some good news for Alaskan Bush People fans… … and also some really terrible news for Alaskan Bush People fans. Unfortunately, the importance of the latter far outweighs the importance of the former. But we’ll start with a programming update: The long-awaited eighth season of this Discovery Channel hit will premiere on August 24 at 9/8c. Set your DVR and plan your upcoming vacations accordingly. The really terrible news, however, has to do with just what these new episodes will focus on. According to Radar Online, Ami Brown’s cancer has returned — and this tragic circumstance will serve as the crux of what fans will see on screen later this summer and later this fall. “Ami went to UCLA with Billy and son Bear, and her cancer is back,” an insider has told the aforementioned celebrity gossip site. Darn it. This sucks. We reported in late May that Ami checked back into a California hospital in order to have further tests run. At the time, however, we were still awaiting the results of these tests and had not heard any confirmation about the return of Ami’s illness. The mother of seven was diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer last year. Her prognosis at the time was grim, but undergoing numerous rounds of radiation and chemotherapy, the reality star announced she was cancer-free in December 2017. For some awful reason, fans had taken this remission to mean that Ami never had cancer, an assertion that Discovery Channel Executive Vice President Laurie Goldberg had to actually address a few weeks back. “Ami’s battle with cancer is very real,” Goldberg said at the time , adding: “It is just disgusting that anyone would say her cancer is not real or that it was created for the show.” Seriously. Not even the Kardashians would conjure up a cancer storyline for the sake of ratings. This latest Radar report makes us feel sad, but also asks that fans remain optimistic. That’s the approach Ami and her loved ones are trying to take. “She is still dealing with some residual effects of her diagnosis and treatment, but she is continuing to recover well,” the insider says . “She has the love and support of her entire family, and is determined to beat this.” This same source concludes that the new season of Alaskan Bush People will tell a significant chunk of Ami’s story. Not for the sake of ratings. But simply because this show chronicles the lives of the Browns and this diagnosis is obviously the most important thing going on in those lives right now. “It’s going to be a huge part of the upcoming season, and there will be interviews with her doctors and other medical professionals who have helped her along the way,” the source says. Alaskan Bush People is currently filming for the new season in Washington state, far from the family’s native Alaska. Expect plenty of changes to be afoot, except for one key one: the entire family will be involved. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Alaskan Bush People Season 8 to Focus on Ami’s Cancer

Ami Brown Really Does Have Cancer, Discovery Channel Confirms

An executive at the Discovery Channel has a very simple and very pointed message for certain fans of Alaskan Bush People. And that messages goes something like this: FOR SHAME! Speaking to Radar Online, the network’s Executive Vice President, Laurie Goldberg, opened up for the first time this week about Ami Brown’s cancer diagnosis. She and her loved ones admitted in July of 2017 that the long-time reality star had been diagnosed with a very serious form of lung cancer and that her prognosis was grim at best. Since then, various members of this famous family have kept fans apprised of Ami’s status on occasion, with the latest update being an extremely sad one: Brown has reportedly returned to the hospital . But this doesn’t mean all hope is lost, Goldberg says: “She is going to L.A. for a routine three month check-up but is optimistic and surrounded by nothing but love,” she also told Radar. In this same conversation with the aforementioned celebrity gossip website, Goldberg expressed consternation that anyone out there has been doubting Ami’s diagnosis. Do these critics really think producers and/or the Browns themselves would lie about such a thing? “Ami’s battle with cancer is very real,” Goldberg emphasis, taking those who disbelieve her to task and adding: “It is just disgusting that anyone would say her cancer is not real or that it was created for the show.” We can’t entirely fault viewers for having a few questions, of course. Reality TV in general is known for conjuring up storylines, as Jacob Roloff very recently came out and explained in a book written by this Little People, Big World star. But still. We’re talking about cancer here and we would never for a second wonder whether Ami and her children were actually lying about such a serious illness. “It’s in both lungs, in the middle and sides of the lungs,” Ami’s husband, Billy Brown, said last year. He said the cancer had been labeled as stage 3B, which is very close to the worst possible diagnosis, and continued at the time: “It hasn’t traveled to any other organs, but that’s what they’re saying is next. Any time we talk to anybody, it’s bad news.” Alaskan Bush People will be returning for Season 8, however, and we hear that Ami may still be part of the cast. “The fans will get to see her journey alongside the rest of the family on the upcoming season,” Goldberg previews, adding: “There is definitely no drama between her and anyone in the family – they love her very much and would do anything for her.” View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know No premiere date for Season 8 has been announced just yet. We’ll pass it along as soon as it’s confirmed… … and we’ll continue to send Ami our best wishes.

Ami Brown Cancer Update: What Did We Learn?

Alaskan Bush People viewers were treated to an early Christmas present on Friday night. Following many months off the air, the popular Discovery Channel series aired a special holiday episode over the weekend, one that provided fans with a critical update. We’re talking, of course, about Ami Brown. The family matriarch has been diagnosed with stage four lung cancer and has been undergoing chemotherapy for nearly the entire year. She’s been brutally honest about her condition and her very low odds of long-term survival. On this special installment, however, Ami and her loved ones received some positive news: She is finished with treatment. (Viewers also learned that the Browns relocated from Alaska to southern California in order for Ami to be seen by physicians as UCLA; it had not been known previously exactly where she was being treated.) “There is very single reason to be hopeful and absolutely optimistic,” Dr. Deborah Wong told Ami and Billy on the episode. There’s still a long way for Ami to go, of course, but it’s important to savor every moment in situations such as this. “Life is a gift,” Ami said in response to the doctor’s encouraging words. The family celebrated the good news with a surprise for Ami, as the Brown kids decorated their California house roof-to-foundation and prepared a Christmas dinner. Wearing a Santa hat at one point, Ami was led out of the home by Billy, blindfolded and holding her husband’s hand. Once she saw the garden and how it had been filled with lights and a Christmas tree, Ami could hardly contain her emotion. “The best thing about this Christmas is that mom gets to spend it with us,” daughter Birdy said on camera, adding: “It was looking bad for a while. Having mom here for this Christmas I think is the best gift that we could ever get.” We wish Ami and all the Browns the absolute best during this holiday season. Said Billy of the occasion: “For the Brown family, the meaning of Christmas is all things good… it’s that one time of the year that you really celebrate life. “It’s a time of giving and also receiving love, and kind of a combination of the whole year, right there together.” Prior to this episode and this update, the last we had heard from the Alaskan Bush People regarding Ami’s health was when daughter Rain revealed on Instagram that the family were “hopeful”  as her mom began a second round of chemotherapy. As for the future of the show? This is unimportant compared to Ami’s well-being, of course, but plenty of fans out there remain curious. There’s been talk that the Browns are moving to Colorado for Season 8 , along with chatter over Bam Bam and his girlfriend landing a spinoff. Nothing has been confirmed yet, however. All that really matters right now is that Ami continues to progress and to spend as much time as possible with her loved ones.
