Amber Portwood: Andrew Glennon Needs to Be Locked Up!

LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! When Amber Portwood chants this these days, she is not talking about Donald Trump and his impending impeachment trial, according to new legal paperwork filed on Wednesday, November 6. Instead, she's talking about ex-boyfriend Andrew Glennon. Portwood believes Glennon ought to be held in contempt because he is not abiding by the rules of the former couple's custody agreement. In what way? And could this actually happen? Scroll down for an update on the very troubled Teen Mom… 1. Everyone Knows How We Got Here, Right? Amber was arrested on July 5 for allegedly attacking Andrew while he was holding their 18-month old son in his arms, James. 2. She Even Threatened to Kill Herself AND Used a Machete Allegedly, that is. Andrew has said Portwood swallowed a bunch of pills (and then threw them back up), prior to using a machete to try and break down the bathroom door behind which Andrew and James were hiding. 3. Is She Going to Jail? No. We previously detailed how Amber ageed to a plea deal and will almost definitely avoid jail time for this incident. 4. What About Custody of James, Though? That’s the question we’re dealing with now… and we have a bunch of details and updates we can offer to readers. 5. Let’s Start with This: Andrew has primary custody of the toddler. This is understandable and this has been the case ever since Amber was taken into custody. 6. When and How Can Amber See Her Son? She can only see her son on three non-consecutive “days” per week, with one of those days (likely on the weekend) for 10 hours. The other days’ visits must last for no more than three hours.

Becca Kufrin Begs Trolls to Be Kind: Stop Ruining My Life!!

Even though Becca Kufrin knows how to throw some shade at her ex when the moment is right, she’s known for being a good, kind person. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about some very vocal Instagram trolls who harass public figures every single day. In a new, heartfelt post, Becca pleads with them all to be kinder and less cruel. “You don’t need me to remind you, but life can be rocky,” Becca’s post begins. “People can be harsh.” “In our current climate, the internet can often times be the biggest weapon against our soul,” she characterizes. Becca observes: “Social media has taken over and will only keep growing.” “Because of that, so will our insecurities, jealousie,s and hurdles we face as women,” she predicts. Becca writes: “And it’s the unfortunate truth that social media is linked to a significant increase in anxiety, depression, suicide, and body image issues.” “For two years I’ve been thrust into the public eye on a scale that I never imagined possible,” she points out. “Yes, this was my doing by entering reality TV,” Becca acknowledges. She adds: “But nothing could prepare me for the amount of constant commentary and opinions being thrown at me.” “This feedback not only includes criticism on my love life,” Becca details. “But on how I look, speak, dress, and apply (or don’t apply) my makeup.” “And, at times it’s downright hindering,” she admits. “I’ve had days where I didn’t want to leave bed because of the anxiety I felt on a social scale.” “And I’m not alone,” Becca observes. “I’ve had countless conversations with others.” She has spoken to people “who have felt inadequate because of someone with mean, type-happy fingers.” “Many of us feel like we are drowning,” Becca laments. “Because we have to live up to some unattainable social goal.” “Let’s change this,” she suggests. “Let’s all take a step back and maybe NOT type a rude comment.” Becca continues: “or hit “send” with demeaning words into someone’s DMs.” “Who are we to judge another person by the makeup she puts on, how white our teeth are, or if we forgot to wash our hair for six days straight?” she asks. “As women, we need to do a better job of building ALL humans up,” Becca proclaims. She continues: “Of using our voices to support one another no matter our education level, ethnicity, background, etc.” “Let’s focus on the positives of individuals and spread care,” Becca recommends. “Because if not,” she warns. “The pressures of being perfect, and anxieties when we aren’t, will only consume us.” “A gentle reminder that Instagram is not reality,” Becca emphasizes. “It does not define who we are to our core.” “It can only give a MINOR glimpse into our daily lives,” she reminds followers. “But what is said through social media can leave a lasting impact,” Becca states. “So spread a little kindness.” She concludes: “Tell a stranger how contagious her smile is in a recent photo, double tap a compliment, and remember to go easy on others and yourself.” This sounds like great advice for countless Instagram trolls and also for Garrett Yrigoyen .

The Definitive Duggar Family Tree: A Complete Guide to Courtships and Babies!

Large sections of the Old Testament are devoted to genealogies — lengthy lists of couplings and the biblically-significant offspring that they begat. Given the Duggars' love for the Good Book, we're sure someone in the family has compiled a similar compendium of the courtships and marriages that led to the creation of Jim Bob and Michelle's many granchildren. It might seem like it would take a monastic scholar to keep track of the rapid expansion of the Counting On clan, but we managed to create a complete list of the #LittleDuggars without locking ourselves in an abbey with a quill and parchment. But that's not to say it was a simple task. After all, Jim Bob and Michelle have a lot of kids, and those kids are very dedicated to the task of populating Northwest Arkansas with Duggars. So sit back, grab a Duggar-friendly snack (might we suggest a jar of pickles?) and explore the family tree of the most beloved Baptist brood on reality TV: 1. Meet the Duggars The Duggar family seems to get bigger by the day. In fact, the Counting On clan has welcomed so bundles of joy in the past decade that some fans might find it difficult to keep up. 2. Humble Beginnings Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar had their first child, Josh, in 1988. Needless to say, they didn’t stop there. 3. Fame Comes Calling The family first rose to national prominence with a series of Discovery Health and TLC documentaries that mostly focused on Michelle’s last five deliveries. 4. A Bunch of Stars Are Born Viewers couldn’t get enough of the wholesome Arkansas clan, and it wasn’t long before the Duggars had their own show. 5. On the Grow Initially titled 17 Kids and Counting, the series documented the adventures and unorthodox customs of the still-expanding Duggar clan. 6. Overlapping Generations That expansion occurred in more ways than one, as Jim Bob and Michelle welcomed their youngest child (Josie Duggar, now 9) AFTER welcoming their first grandchild.

John Crist, Christian Comedian/YouTube Star, Addresses Sexual Misconduct Allegations

John Crist, a Christian comedian and popular YouTube personality, has issued a lengthy statement and canceled his tour amid allegations that he to used his celebrity statis to sexually harass and exploit women. Crist didn’t really deny these accusations in his statement, either. The comedian has spoken out a day after a report published by Charisma News detailed claims made by five women against Crist. The outlet writes that “Crist has exploited his Christian reputation and platform to harass, manipulate and exploit young women over the last seven years.” To quote from the report: The allegations include, but are not limited to, individually sexting multiple women during the same time period, initiating sexual relationships with married women and women in committed relationships, offering show tickets in exchange for sexual favors and repeatedly calling these women late at night while drunk. YIKES, huh? Crist has more than 526,000 YouTube subscribers and over 1.3 million combined followers on Instagram and Twitter. In response to the above article, Crist wrote the following to Charisma News: “Over the past number of years, various women have accused me of behavior that has been hurtful to them. “While I am not guilty of everything I’ve been accused of, I confess to being guilty of this — I have treated relationships with women far too casually, in some cases even recklessly.” Crist continued: “My behavior has been destructive and sinful. “I’ve sinned against God, against women and the people who I love the most. I have violated my own Christian beliefs, convictions and values, and have hurt many people in the process. “I am sorry for the hurt and pain I have caused these women and will continue to seek their forgiveness. “I have also hurt the name of Jesus and have sought His forgiveness.” Crist had been scheduled to film a Netflix special, but the company now says that program is on hold. He further revealed in his statement that he has sought professional treatment to help with his “addiction struggles” and added: “Over several recent years, I have privately sought and received regular professional treatment for my sexual sin and addiction struggles.” He didn’t go into much more detail about these struggles and/or what they entail. More from his statement: “I’m committed to getting healing and freedom from my sin and have decided to cancel my remaining tour dates this year and to postpone all future commitments in order to devote all my time and energy on getting healthy spiritually, mentally and physically.” Crist earned a spot on Pollstar’s Top 100 Tours Globally list in 2019, “with over 197,000 tickets sold for his ‘Human Being Tour,’” according to the star’s biography. The 35-year-old comedian was most recently romantically linked to country singer and American Idol alum Lauren Alaina; they split in September. According to Crist’s statement, “Those closest to me — my family, team and close friends — have known about this battle for some time, and now you do too.” And he concluded: I don’t blame anyone but myself. I’m responsible for my actions and I’ve repented and am taking full ownership. I realize it will be difficult for some people to ever forgive me, and I accept that as a result of my bad decisions and actions. My entire career has been lived out on stage, and even though I’ve shared many of my life struggles with my audiences, I’ve lived in constant fear of the darkest parts of my life being exposed publicly. My greatest fear has been that those who have loved and supported me would hate me if they knew everything about me. I now humbly seek forgiveness and mercy and love — not just for me, but for those I’ve hurt along my path. I’m so sorry.

Duane Chapman Admits to Suicidal Impulses After Wife’s Passing

Last month, Duane Chapman honored his late wife with  a heartfelt birthday tribute . Beth would have been 52. But on the Dog’s Most Wanted season finale, Duane’s pain was even more fresh and raw. He even confessed to experiencing suicidal ideation out of his desire to join his beloved in death. “I’m so glad I had her the little time that I did,” Duane “Dog The Bounty Hunter” Chapman confessed to the cameras. His wife, Beth Chapman, had died after a lengthy battle with cancer, but Duane was not ready to let her go. “I’m only been alone as I showered and I had to run out of there without a towel,” he confessed. Duane said that he had done so “because I can’t be alone right now.” He explains that spending time alone with his thoughts leads to some pretty horrifying impulses. “That’s when I start thinking about things,” Duane confesses. “And I start to take a nap,” he adds, referring to another instance in which the reality of Beth’s passing strikes him. “And I reached over to touch something,” Duane describes. “And it was the freakin’ dog.” “I don’t realize yet psychologically that she’s gone and I’ll never ever see her,” Duane admits. He emphasizes that he hasn’t fully processed the loss, saying: “I don’t realize that.” “I just hope I don’t live very much longer without her,” Duane confessed. Oh no. “Because now she made the first step, she’s through the gate,” he says. “She’s paved the way for me.” This is where Duane reveals the exact form of his intrusive thoughts and harmful impulses. “I want to take a goddamn pain pill so bad,” Duane says. “I feel like if I did something to myself right now, and passed away, suicidal,” he adds. Duane continues: “I’d go up to heaven and be like ‘Hi honey,’ and would go, ‘you dumbass why did you do that?’ or would she go ‘wow, you’re here.'” The bounty hunter and reality star continues, clearly feeling conflicted between his love of life and his love for his departed wife. “So am I obligated to do that?” Duane asks, feeling hopeless. There is one piece of good news about his harrowing confession. Within the episode, a family friend reveals that they moved prescription pills to a place where he cannot easily find or access them. Suicidal ideation can be the result of clinical depression, but that is not the only instance in which it arises. Situational depression — that is, when a person has a “reason” to feel hopeless — can lead to suicidal impulses as a response to stress. While clinical depression is treated with long-term medication and therapy, situational depression can require the same treatments for a shorter time. In the mean time, the family friend did exactly the right thing by moving an immediate danger out of Duane’s reach. The good news is that this episode was filmed months ago, and Duane has had this time to cope. He has the support of family and friends, who can spend time with him and keep him occupied with thoughts beyond grief and loss. It is not uncommon for those who believe in some sort of afterlife to feel the urge to join their dearly departed loved one. We hope that Duane continues to cope, emotionally and mentally, with Beth’s passing. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Dog the Bounty Hunter Rescues Tiger Woods’ Mistress From Drug Den, Proves 2018 is the Weirdest

Folks, we’re gonna step into the Wayback Machine for a moment and transport you directly to 2009. A fresh-faced Barack Obama had just moved into the White House; the global economy was still reeling from the Great Recession; and the Tiger Woods cheating scandal dominated tabloid headlines. For our younger readers who may not remember the revelation that Woods’ obsession with holes extended beyond the golf course, allow us to summarize it thusly: Tiger Woods slept with all the women. Actually, to be fair, it’s not totally clear if he was still sleeping with his wife with any regularity, but in 2009, he was definitely banging everyone who wasn’t his wife. Another figure from the bygone oughts who factors into today’s sordid tale is Duane Chapman, otherwise known as Dog the Bounty Hunter. There was a time when networks were allowed to produce reality shows that focused on things other than real estate and reproduction. During this time, Dog reigned supreme, combining the most bonkers elements of Cops and Intervention to form a weird hybrid product in which he would tackle people and then lecture them about their life choices. How do the tales of these two fallen heroes intersect? Well to explain that, we need to introduce you to Jamie Jungers. Jungers was one of Woods’ mistresses , and it seems her life hit the skids in a major way in the years since she parted ways with the golfer. Fortunately, Dog emerged from retirement to come to Jamie’s rescue. In a wild interview with Radar Online, Chapman tells the tale of saving Jungers’ life by rescuing her from a drug house where she was exchanging sexual favors for heroin: “She was 88 pounds when we got her and the handcuffs wouldn’t even go on her wrists because they were so skinny. She was going to die in the next few weeks,” Dog tells Radar. “These guys were holding her in a house where she was giving sexual favors for drugs,” he adds. “She told me she was trading drugs for sex with guys at four or five houses.” Hilariously, Chapman thinks we need to know the professions of Jamie’s johns: “One was the top investigator for one of the biggest insurance companies in the U.S. Another guy was in construction,” he tells the website. Champman goes on to say that Jungers fully blames Woods for the current state of her life: “She said she blames Tiger,” he reveals. “She said all these dirty motherf–kers wanted to f–k me just because I had f–ked Tiger Woods, and before I knew it all these people were coming into my life because of drugs and I’m a f–cking junkie now and I hate it.” Well, Tiger might be partially responsible, but it seems like there’s a lot of blame to go around in this case. This has been the first in what we hope will be many installments of Dog vs. Tiger . View Slideshow: Tiger Woods Mistresses: Playing All the Holes!

Dog The Bounty Hunter: Coming After War Machine For Christy Mack Attack!

Jon Koppenhaver, an MMA fighter who goes by War Machine, is wanted by Las Vegas officials for the alleged beating he gave his girlfriend Christy Mack. If the cops can’t catch the fugitive, we know one man who is all over it. Duane Chapman, a.k.a. Dog The Bounty Hunter, is coming after Koppenhaver, the target of SEVEN arrest warrants after beating Christy Mack beyond belief: “@WarMachine170 better 2 Give All You Excuses To The Judge,” he wrote yesterday. “You got 24 hrs to turn your self in or I am Coming After YOU! #CMTDogAndBeth” Those 24 hours came and went. War Marchine is still on the loose. “@WarMachine170 your now In my World,” Chapman added. “Your [sic] a FUGITIVE & I Am a BOUNTY HUNTER !! YOU NEED TO FEEL SHAME !!” “Be a MAN SURRENDER TO AUTHORITIES” Don’t hold your breath for that scenario … and perhaps it’s for the best. Like everyone else, we want him brought to justice by any means necessary. If he did turn himself in, that would obviously be preferable … but the idea of War Machine getting what’s coming to him from Dog does sound entertaining. Should the coward insist on trying to evade justice for his alleged crimes, it would make for one heck of an episode of Dog and Beth: On the Hunt . Just saying. Dog and Beth Chapman: Bounty Hunters 1. Dog the Bounty Hunter, Wife Dog the Bounty Hunter and his wife at the Ivy. The place to be seen for lunch.

Dog the Bounty Hunter: Going After Edward Snowden?!

Dog the Bounty Hunter, or Duane Chapman, is reportedly going after Edward Snowden … even if that means illegally trying to capture him in Russia. “Sometimes you gotta bend the rules to save America,” Dog is quoted as saying. “And if I can catch this traitor Snowden and bring him back to God’s side, then it will be well worth the risk of a lifetime of hard labor in a Siberian gulag.” Sure thing. Dog is apparently not alone in his dogged pursuit. Reports say several bounty hunters are willing to risk their freedom to capture and return the “fugitive” NSA whistleblower , who sought asylum in Russia. None more high profile than Chapman, however. According to reports, he stated, “Every Dog has it’s day, but Snowden, your days are numbered. Me and Beth are gonna catch you and bring ya to justice.” “We’re gonna do it the American way. If you’re listening right now slick Eddy, the Dog’s comin’ for ya. You can run, but you can’t hide.” “The Dog has picked up your trail.” Dog and his wife Beth Chapman are said to be headed to Hong Kong first in an effort to sniff out possible clues in Snowden’s old hotel room there. This story may or may not be fake , as its sources are questionable and it has already sparked several denials … but even so, it’s a hilarious concept.
