Amanda Markert to Pauly D: "Come Bond" With Baby Amabella!

Amid a flurry of tabloid reports, name calling, and a custody battle, Pauly D’s baby mama Amanda Markert has finally invited him to see his baby girl … on Twitter. “This is getting out of hand, you’ve had my number since day 1,” she wrote to the DJ. “Come bond with her any day, any time you and your family want.” The olive branch/tweet comes after an attorney for Markert reportedly shot down his request for visitation of Amabella, who Pauly has still not met. The Jersey Shore star (real name Paul DelVecchio) learned earlier this month that Amanda Markert gave birth to their daughter Amabella back in May. Soon after, the new father told TMZ that he “100 percent” believes that the former Hooters waitress is using their child for her own 15 minutes of fame. Still, he is trying to focus on the positives and embrace his role. “Sometimes in life things aren’t planned and they may even scare you at first, but they end up being a blessing, that is how I feel about having a daughter,” he said. “I’m looking forward to being a parent to her.” Pauly D wants full custody of Amabella, and has filed a motion to move a custody hearing from New Jersey to Las Vegas, where he currently lives. We wouldn’t hold our breath for an amicable resolution to this, sadly, from what we’ve seen of Amanda so far. But perhaps this Tweet is a good start … Pauly D’s Baby Mama Invites Him to Meet Daughter

It’s A Wrap: Tameka And Usher Hug It Out In Court After She Loses Custody Hearing [Video]

It’s nice they were at least able to hug. Tameka Loses In Custody Hearing Tameka and Usher have been through a lot…Usher saying Tameka’s not a good mom and vice versa. It’s a step forward for these two to embrace….maybe it’s a sign of a much needed truce. According to TMZ After a bitterly contentious hearing and drama surrounding the near-death of their son, Usher showed an unbelievably classy move in court Friday — hugging his ex-wife Tameka after the judge dismissed her request for primary custody. Pretty shocking … especially considering the painfully awkward silence that preceded the hearing. Tameka filed an emergency request for primary custody after her and Usher’s 5-year-old son Usher Raymond V nearly drowned in a pool on Monday. Usher currently has primary custody of their two boys. In court Friday, Tameka used the pool accident as an example of Usher being an inattentive father, who employs incompetent caretakers — in this case his aunt Rena — to look after their children. Usher’s lawyer shot back, insisting Usher’s a great dad and the children are thriving with him, despite the recent pool accident … which, Usher argued, could have happened to anybody. During questioning, Tameka broke down in tears talking about her son’s accident, saying she didn’t know if her child suffered permanent brain or heart damage. FYI, Usher Raymond V is still in the hospital — Tameka claimed it’s because of lingering complications, including a low heart rate. Usher said it’s because he doesn’t want his son discharged before doctors are 100% sure he’s okay. In the end, the judge sided with Usher, ruling the current custody order should stay in place … meaning Usher keeps primary custody, and Tameka gets a little. Peep the video below.

Jersey Shore Recap: Sound the Grenade Whistle!

The gang invented a new means of extracting grenades, Deena revealed her inner freak, Sammi and Ronnie came to blows (again), Snooki bought a stripper pole and so much more in an epic night of Jersey Shore debauchery. Just when you think they can’t outdo themselves once again … THG breaks down all the best Jersey Shore quotes and scenes from last night’s installment of the MTV show, as always, in its trademark +/- recap below: SOUND THE ALARM: Vinny rescues The Situation. It’s more like a Grenade Horn, but the Grenade Whistle is a fitting prop for a group of guys so dedicated to extracting the less-attractive females. Plus 8 . Of course, they could simply not bring said females back home, so … Minus 7 . Vinny sounds the grenade whistle to rescue Sitch. What are friends for? Plus 4 . The Situation goes upstairs to borrow a condom from Ronnie and lets it slip to Sammi that Ronnie is talking to JWoww. What an instigator. Minus 6 . Snooki and Jenni bring home a couple of bitches. Pomeranians, looks like. Plus 5 . Snooki’s biggest fear after buying a stripper pole: “Wait, is it going to say ‘stripper pole’ on my credit card? Because my dad will f*%king freak.” Yes he still pays the bill. One of many new challenges for her to face on the spinoff. Minus 9 . Vinny, on his new love interest’s family showing up at the house: “What is this, ‘Romeo and Juliet’? The Capulets and the f*%king whatever?” Plus 23 . As JWoww and Roger hit it off, Tom’s no doubt plotting a nude pic release. Minus 3 . ROGER WOOS J-WOWW : She looks pretty smitten, too. Ronnie relaxes on the bed, fully satisfied and low-key, after dumping all of Sam’s possessions on the floor in a fit of rage. This is a stable relationship. Plus 27 . Minus 6 for this awesome exchange, BRO: Sammi: Don’t you touch anybody. Ronnie: I didn’t touch anybody like that. Sammi: I saw it, you f*%king idiot. Ronnie: On who? Sammi: You. Ronnie: On who did I touch like that? Sammi: You tell me, bro. You f*%king did it. But Plus 7 for Ronnie’s retort: “I hope you have a f*%king book for the apology you have to f*%kin’ write me in the morning… cry all you f*%kin’ want, your tears don’t mean s**t to me. Your tears mean d!ck to me, just so you know.” Ron WEEPS to JWoww about wanting to be happy. Get a GRIP dog. Minus 9 . “I don’t get an apology… or I’m sorry, not a hug or nothin’… I get a piece a pizza, not a f*%kin’ protein shake, pizza, of all things… REALLY?!” Really. Plus 3 . PUNCHED, DRUNK: Sammi lets Ronnie have it right in the kisser. Says wise Deena: “Karma’s a b!tch, literally.” Literally, it’s nothing. Minus 9 . Deena lets her freak flag fly pretty hard. She is into some kinky stuff. Salad-tossing, possibly. The Sitch won’t engage in activities with her lips now. Plus 10 . When a girl (JWoww) actually says “get it in” … eh, good for her. Minus only 1 . JWoww should really be in PR with all the spinning she’s doing on this. Plus 6 . The music fades out over the image of Ronnie and Sammi in bed. Man, these two are irritating. The same $h!t, over and over. Miserable people. Minus 11 . At least there was a punch thrown. Maybe they’ll both be indicted soon. Plus 15 . JWoww and Sam make up. For how long? Give it a couple of hours. Minus 8 . TOTAL: +39. SEASON TOTAL: +143.

Amber Portwood Admits: I Suck at Parenting

Teen Mom star Amber Portwood appeared at child protective custody hearing this week and admitted she’s been an “unfit mom” to daughter Leah. Portwood appeared before a judge at Madison County (Ind.) Court for a case update after Leah was temporarily placed in dad Gary Shirley’s care. Originally, Portwood had denied striking Gary in front of their baby, but said her home was not fit for Leah to live in, because it had no furniture. This week, though, she “withdrew her previous denials.” EMBATTLED AMBER : Portwood is fighting hard to get it together . Portwood is currently out on bail after being arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from a broadcast of Teen Mom in September of last year. Not only did she smack around Gary, but Leah supposedly watched. She was caught on camera slapping Gary Shirley , who was also at the hearing this week. Portwood is under strict supervision by Child Protective Services. If they find that her living situation is unsuitable or that Leah is in any danger, she will be returned to her father. Possibly on a permanent basis this time. While Gary has expressed a desire to have the restraining order against Amber lifted, Leah has been spending time with Gary’s new girlfriend of late. Autumn Jones has been quietly dating Gary for nearly a month and not only is she playing second mother to Leah, she has one-year-old daughter too. Gary and Amber have been communicating with each other despite the No Contact Order that prohibits them from doing so – and that they want lifted . As of now, it remains in effect. The judge ordered both parties to appear before him once again at a later date for a custody update. Stay tuned.

That dude repeatedly blasted Kate, after which Jon claimed List never represented him. Guy has issues keeping attorneys and girlfriends straight. Kate’s lawyer Mark Momjian, has been notified that Vidas is now handling the case , though, so it looks like Jon actually did green light this move.

Despite bracing for a court battle, Jon says he wants to resolve things amicably with his ex-wife regarding future child support and custody terms. Reports that Jon was about to drop his custody lawsuit surfaced yesterday, and sources say Jon and Kate are working behind the scenes on this. At issue: Jon being broke, and wanting to spend more time with the kids. We’ll see how that all shakes out. Vidas will represent Jon Gosselin at his next custody hearing at Berks County Court in Reading, Pa., next month. Better bring a bodyguard … Hailey Glassman may try to take him out.
