Mike Johnson Totally Wants to Bone Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato took  a very bold step this week. And it’s looking like it may soon pay off… … in the form of a red hot boning session with one of America’s most elgible bachelors. As detailed just a short while ago on The Hollywood Gossip, Lovato posted an unedited bikini photo to her Instagram page on Thursday, proudly showing off all her curves for the world to see. “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!!” the artist wrote as a caption to this image. Lovato, who has battled substance and self-esteem issues for many years, added: “I just literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it (yes the other bikini pics were edited – and I hate that I did that but it’s the truth) so that others think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but it’s just not me.” Here’s the picture in question: Lovato has received very positive feedback from various celebrities and social media users in response to this snapshot. But the voice of one stud muffin has stood out in particular. “Look at me like that again,” Mike Johnson wrote in Demi’s comments section. “Love yaself.” Johnson, for those unaware, was a contestant on the most recent season of The Bachelorette. He quickly emerged as a fan favorite — with Lovato herself leading the very public charge of affection over Milke. After Mike was rejected by Hannah Brown this summer, he jokingly asked about the whereabouts of his future wife on Twitter, to which Lovato replied: I’M RIGHT HERE MIKE I’M RIGHT HERE BOO MY MOM ALREADY LOVES YOU TOO. She also told Johnson that would would gladly “accept” his “rose.” Since this amazing exchange, rumors have swirled about Mike becoming the next Bachelor. This, tragically, appears as if it will NOT be the cas e… which is wonderful news for all Demi and Mike ‘shippers out there. “I would definitely take her out for an initial date, yeah. 100% not scared about it at all,” Mike told Us Weekly several weeks ago when asked about Lovato, hilariously adding: “I would be like, ‘Oh My God! Girl, come here.” He later told People Magazine: “She would definitely be cool to reach out to, but neither one of us have reached out to each other. “I think she’s sexy, she’s got a nice little booty on her and she has good voice.” She also has an admirable point of view on life. This is how Lovato concluded the caption to the unedited bikini photo above: This is what I got. I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards. So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day. It’s such a great feeling to be back in tv/film while not stressing myself with a strenuous workout schedule before 14 hour days, or depriving myself from a real birthday cake rather than opting for watermelon & whip cream with candles because I was terrified of REAL cake and was miserable on some crazy diet shit. Anyway, here’s me. RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too! Now back to the studio..  I’m working on an anthem. also. Just so everyone’s clear.. I’m not stoked on my appearance BUT I am appreciative of it and sometimes that’s the best I can do. I hope to inspire someone to appreciate their body today too.

Colt Johnson: Already Ring-Shopping for New Girlfriend?!

Last month, fans saw that Colt Johnson and his girlfriend seemed to be talking about marriage — or, at least, open to discussing it. Now, things are looking much more serious than just a discussion. Colt is in the market to buy a ring, and he’s not even being subtle about it. Colt Johnson adn Jess Caroline haven’t made things Instagram Official just yet. But they’ve both made it very clear that they’re happily dating — months into a relationship that no one thought would last past the first date. Jess’ Instagram is private and she even showed some semi-public display of affection recently. (We have that photo for you below) And Colt? Well, he leaves brazen comments on her (private) Instagram, making no effort to hide their relationship. Oh, and he’s looking to put a ring on it. “Looking for someone that makes jewelry,” Colt recently wrote in his Instagrami Stories. He continued, imploring any followers with a recommendation to “DM me please.” Alongside his request, Coltee included sketches — concept art — for a ring. It’s not just that he wants to buy a ring. He very clearly wants his followers in a tizzy over whether he’s about to propose to Jess. And he’s getting his wish. We hope that this ring, should Colt get it made and give ti to Jess, will meet a better fate than the ring Colt gave to Larissa when they married. His relationship with The Queen was volatile and deeply toxic for both parties. During a moment of emotional distress after a fight, Larissa actually flushed her ring. She later exposed the ring’s price, feeling slighted that (the notoriously cheap) Coltee had bought the ring on Etsy for a modest price. It looks like Colt is once again choosing a “unique” ring instead of a pricier option. Maybe Jess will appreciate it more. As we mentioned, Jess shared this image — of Colt’s hand on her thigh — on her private Instagram. “To love is to go hand in hand through this strange and magical maze that is life,” Jess reflected in her captions. She continued to approximately quote an existing poem: “It is not to lose sight of the other, but to let him breathe when needed.” “It is facing the fear of the abyss, of truth, of doubt, of certainty,” Jess wrote. She added: “It is embracing tight to cure pain, sadness, failure.” “It is giving a silly and innocent smile in the middle of the day,” Jess concluded. “Simply by knowing that the other exists” A number of fans have expressed surprise that Colt’s other half, his mother, Debbie, seems to be okay with this relationship. We guess that not having Colt’s new lady love move in the day they meet probably helps her get adjusted to the idea. And she may be supporting Colt’s romance with Jess because, at this point, she’ll root for anyone who isn’t Larissa Lima. Will Colt’s eventual marriage to Jess be the milestone that ultimately severs his metaphorical umbilical cord for good? Only time will tell. For now, he still hasn’t popped the question.

Amber Portwood to Andrew Glennon: Please Don’t Take My Son!

Amber Portwood is not going down without a fight. Hmmm… okay, fair enough: That may not be the best phrase to use when it comes to this troubled Teen Mom OG star. But the general point remains: Portwood is doing everything she can to remain close to her son. As previously reported, Andrew Glennon has filed a legal motion to take the estranged couple’s one-year old son to California. He seemingly wants to move halfway across the country with little James, likely to try and start over after Amber was arrested on July for felony assault. According to Glennon and the police report from that incident, Portwood attacked both her boyfriend and even her baby (indirectly, but still) with a shoe and then with a machete. For a rundown of all the evidence against Amber, click below: View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: What’s the Evidence Against Her? Now, however, Portwood has filed her own motion in response to that of Glennon. She wants to legally ban him from residing in California with James. “Mother objects to the relocation and believes that it is not in the best interest of the child to relocate to California,” the court papers read. They continue: “Mother requests that Father’s Notice of Intent to Relocate be denied. Mother is requesting that the court enter an order preventing the relocation of the child.” Andrew has alleged that his employment and family are in California, and that he has no ties to Indiana, but Portwood counters this claim as follows: “Father has previously been employed as a day trader which can be done from any location,” adding that Glennon’s basis for his desired move is “disingenous.” There’s also no proposal in Glennon’s official filing for just how he and Amber would co-parent from afar. This is likely because Glennon thinks Amber hates being a mom and is a terrible mom and probably shouldn’t really be an active mom at all. As things stand right now, Glennon has custody of James and Amber is only permitted to see the toddler under the supervision of a court-approved adult. It looks like she may see her son soon, though, because Portwood shared the above photo four days ago and wrote as a caption to it: Love you and see you soon little bubba. Earlier this week, as part of a Teen Mom reunion special, Portwood denied allegations that she used a machete back in July, trashing Glennon for being downright insane . But Andrew then fired back with some very personal and revealing allegations. In a social media rant just yesterday, Glennon told followers about the “the landslide of abuse that I had to endure the past entire year.” “It changed me,” continued Glennon painfully. “She broke me down psychologically. I became more silent, I hesitated before speaking, what she did literally altered my speech pattern. I needed to be prescribed medication for anxiety which I have never had in my life… “I’m not going to be silent until your dust settles. I’ve been silent for too long. The abuse has gone on for far too long.” YIKES, huh? Read all Andrew has to say on this topic below: View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Details Amber Portwood Abuse, Claims She’s Back on Drugs

Andrew Glennon Details Amber Portwood Abuse, Claims She’s Back on Drugs

Amber Portwood's relationship with Andrew Glennon ended in horrific fashion back in July. Like, there was an arrest and a no contact order and everything. There's a custody battle going on for their son, James, and Amber's criminal case isn't done yet, so there's still a lot going on. But now, Andrew is giving a little more insight into what happened leading up to their breakup. And it's real, real ugly … 1. What a Nightmare Can you believe that it’s barely been two years since Andrew Glennon first made the gigantic, life-altering mistake of getting with Amber Portwood? 2. A Real Roller Coaster A whole lot has happened in those two years — she got pregnant right away, so they welcomed their son, James, in May of last year, and there was some talk of getting married and possibly even moving to Andrew’s hometown of Malibu. 3. Here We Go But of course all those plans changed back in July when Amber allegedly assaulted Andrew … while he was holding James. 4. Ugh The whole dumb thing began because Amber got mad when traffic kept them from going to see some fireworks on the Fourth of July, and instead of finding another route or another place to watch fireworks or literally anything else, she decided to beat Andrew with a shoe. 5. Gross She admitted to that part, although she treated it like no big deal. Meanwhile, police apparently have photos of bruises and scratches on Andrew’s neck and shoulder from that beating. 6. Good Move After that, Andrew decided to leave Amber alone for a while. He said that he took James and they drove around for a few hours, but when they came home, she was still furious.

Amber Portwood: Andrew Glennon is a Liar and He Broke My Heart!

This summer has been a weird one for Amber Portwood. Mostly because she started it with a precious little family but then right on the ding dang Fourth of July, she ruined it all by assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon while he held their baby in his arms. Well, by “allegedly” assaulting him. Yep, Amber is speaking out about what happened now, and her version of events are pretty different than the one we heard from Andrew … 1. Here We Go What happened between Amber and Andrew … well, it wasn’t pretty, that’s for sure. 2. Memories And we know you’ve probably heard this story several times already, but just for the sake of painting a complete picture, let’s run through it one more time, OK? 3. That Fateful Night Things weren’t perfect between Amber and Andrew, but they were going all right up until the Fourth of July. Amber wanted to take baby James to see some fireworks, but there were some traffic issues that prevented them from going. 4. Oh And instead of planning a different route to go see those fireworks or finding another place to watch them, she just flipped the heck out. 5. The Assault Begins They got home, and according to Andrew, she started beating him with a shoe — Amber has admitted there was some shoe action, but she’s said it was really no big deal. 6. Out of There After that happened, Andrew said that he took James and they drove around for a few hours before coming back home with dinner and a present for Amber — but she was still upset.

Amber Portwood to Andrew Glennon: You’re a Legit Nut Job!

Amber Portwood has spoken out for the first time since her arrest for domestic assault on July 5. Like, truly for the first time, we mean. Yes, the troubled Teen Mom OG star has shared the occasional cryptic social media post . But she hasn't directly addressed what went down between her and Andrew Glennon (and their young son, James) during an incident that led to her being charged with THREE felonies. Most specifically, she hasn't directly addressed the accusation that she attacked Glennon and James with a machete… … until now. As part of a Teen Mom reunion special that aired on September 3, Amber spoke to Dr. Drew Pinsky about this arrest and this allegation. Here is what she said: 1. Let’s Go Over the Arrest Again, Shall We? Glennon texted 911 early on the morning of July 5 and told the operator that he thought Portwood really might kill him or little James, who was around 14 months old at the time. 2. Portwood Was Then Arrested The reality TV star was subsequently charged with domestic battery, criminal recklessness committed with a deadly weapon and domestic battery committed in the presence of a child less than 16 years old, per court documents obtained various outlets. 3. What Did She Do? This is the main question, right? Amber has admitted to throwing a shoe at Glennon, but told the police that it barely grazed him. 4. Did She Threaten Suicide? Yes, Glennon has said. He told authorities that Amber actually swallowed a number of Klonopin pills, only to later throw them back up. 5. Amber Has Denied This Claim Not personally. We haven’t heard her say it. But sources have indicated that Portwood denies the suicide/pill allegation. 6. Okay. Now Let’s Discuss the Machete. Glennon has said he ran into a bathroom with James in his arms and slammed the door shut, locking Amber out, prior to contacing 911. View Slideshow

Farrah Abraham Supports Amber Portwood: You’re Just as Good a Mom as I Am!

Last month, Amber Portwood was arrested for domestic violence after allegedly attacking Andrew Glennon while he held their son. Now, she's getting support from a former castmate — and quite possibly the last person you'd expect. Farrah Abraham is cheering on Amber, telling her that she knows that she can make it as a single mom. “I mean, I wish her all the best,” Farrah expresses in her interview with HollywoodLife . She continues: “It's really sad that … I think it's just like everyone is saying. She has to focus on her health and her well-being.” “I know it hurts, as a mom, to have your kids taken away,” Farrah adds. “I know it hurts to sometimes make wrong choices and get off the beaten path that she wants to be on,” she notes. “And the more that we all talk about that, that she talks about that, that's awesome,” Farrah raves. “For Amber,” Farrah says. “My message would be, ‘I wish you all the best and I know how that feels, and I understand.’” “I’m empathetic to what she’s going through,” the reality villain affirms. “But I really really hope that she can be alone, go solo, be a solo girl,” Farrah expresses. “And,” she continues. “Be that strong independent fierce woman that I know is inside of her.” Farrah notes that Amber is a person who is strong “and who can easily have two kids on her own.” Now, Farrah is the first to admit that she is out of the loop and has been since she left Teen Mom OG in a huff. “They’ve definitely probably splitted ways after that,” Farrah muses. “I can only imagine,” she says with sympathy. “This is her second go round of her losing custody of a child,” Farrah notes. “And,” she concludes. “I’m sure that’s not taken lightly.” A little piece of advice for everyone? Firework displays just aren't that important. They're noisy pollution sources. But reports say that it was over a missed firework show that Amber lost her temper and allegedly attacked Andrew. With a shoe, she allegedly pummeled him while he held their child, and even demanded that he set down James. She also allegedly hacked at a door with a machete — an image from everyone's nightmares — in her fury. We are so glad that Andrew escaped with minimal injuries and that 1-year-old James was physically unharmed. Despite what sounds like a one-sided incident, Farrah is not the first Teen Mom star (past or present) to sympathize with Amber. Catelynn Lowell voiced her support for Amber with a message that could only be interpreted as “believe attackers!” She and Maci Bookout both showed up in court in to root for Team Amber. It may be that they're simply siding with their friend out of habit. Others have suggested that perhaps Amber's mental health made her actions in July fully outside of her control. Perhaps the court and a series of expert witnesses will decide that. This is not Amber's first arrest for domestic violence. Famously, years ago, she attacked baby daddy Gary Shirley. The violence was caught on camera. Amber managed to strike a deal that would have avoided prison time, but ended up behind bars anyway. Most had hoped that she had learned her lesson and gotten the help that she needed. No one ever has the right to strike or otherwise attack a member of their family. Yes, even if they're mad about fireworks.

Amber Portwood has seen her share of ups and downs over the years. But these days, it's all downs for the troubled Teen Mom OG star. In July, Amber was arrested on domestic violence charges .

A Happier Time Amber and Andrew were never an ideal couple, but we’re just now learning how ugly their situation was in the final days of their relationship. 2. Opening Up In the past, Amber has been praised for her candor with regard to her struggles with mental illness. 3. Avoiding Accountability?

Toni Morrison Dies; Beloved Poet Laureate Was 88

Toni Morrison, the first African-American woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature, died last night in a New York hospital. She was 88 years old. Knopf spokesman Paul Bogaards confirmed the author’s death, but didn’t announce an immediate cause or provide any further details. Morrison was born on February 18, 1931, in Lorain, Ohio. She was the second oldest of four children born to George and Ramah Wofford, sharecroppers who had migrated north from Alabama. The couple raised their kids in an integrated, working-class neighborhood, an experience Morrison would later explain as follows to The New York Times: “When I was in first grade, nobody thought I was inferior. I was the only black in the class and the only child who could read.” Morrison graduated with honors from Lorain High School in 1949 and went on to Howard University, where she majored in English and minored in the classics. Morrison’s best known book is likely “Beloved,” which centered on a mother making the tragic choice to murder her baby to save the girl from slavery; it won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1988. Five years later, she awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize for Literature, as judges hailed her as one “who in novels characterized by visionary force and poetic import, gives life to an essential aspect of American reality. Morrison was also bestowed America’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 2012. You can see President Barack Obama hang the prize around her neck in the memorable photo above. Overall, Morrison was a renowned figure in literature, with multiple novels under her belt that spoke to the African-American experience. Along with “Beloved,” you may be familiar with “Jazz” and “Paradise,” the three of which comprised a loose trilogy — with the first book being adapted into the 1998 film starring Oprah and Danny Glover. Other notable works include “Song of Solomon,” “The Bluest Eye” and “Sula.” Throughout her unparalleled career, Morrison wrote 11 novels in her life, many non-fiction books, five children’s books, two plays, two short fiction stories and one libretto. She also wrote numerous essays and university papers. Morrison is also sort of relevant right now for a very unfortunate reason. On politics, she penned an essay shortly after the election of Donald Trump for the New Yorker titled “Mourning for Whiteness,” calling out white supremacy. A documentary about Toni’s life was made also earlier this year called “Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am.” In a statement released by Princeton University, where she taught, the author’s family called her “our adored mother and grandmother.” “She was an extremely devoted mother, grandmother, and aunt who reveled in being with her family and friends,” the statement said, concluding as follows: “The consummate writer who treasured the written word, whether her own, her students or others, she read voraciously and was most at home when writing. “Although her passing represents a tremendous loss, we are grateful she had a long, well lived life.” She leaves behind two children — her sons, Slade and Harold — and an endless array of citizens around the world who have been influenced by her works and her words. May Toni Morrison rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam
