Kailyn Lowry: I Haven’t Seen My Dad Since 2009 … And I’m Glad!

Whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Kailyn Lowry had one hell of a rough upbringing. Obviously, the most publicized aspect of Lowry’s adolescence was her teen pregnancy, which led her to seek solace and shelter with Jo Rivera’s family after being abandoned by her mother. In the years since, Lowry has described her mother as an alcoholic and stated that the two have them seldom have any contact. She’s been less vocal on the subject of her father, and it turns out there’s good reason for that. As she revealed in a recent tweet, Kail hasn’t seen her father since Thanksgiving of 2009. “The week of Thanksgiving 2009 was when I met my dad for the first time,” Kail tweeted yesterday. “And even though we haven’t met again. That was an important time in my life.” If you’ve been with the Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant franchise from the very beginning, then Kail’s revelation may not come as much of a surprise. As In Touch Weekly points out , Kailyn’s reunion with the man who impregnated her mother was captured by an MTV camera crew. “I met my sperm donor for the first and last time on 16 and Pregnant . I was 17-years-old and I never looked back. He doesn’t reach out and neither do I,” she stated in an interview earlier this year. “It gets lonely around holidays and I’m sad for my kids during those times…but I wouldn’t be where I am today if things were different.” So when Kail says the meeting with her father constituted an “important time” in her life, we assume she means that it solidified what she had long suspected: She would be forced to face the challenges of adulthood without any support from her parents. Lowry affirmed this sad reality in her most recent memoir:  “I didn’t ever have an example of a mother or father when I was growing up,” she wrote in A Letter of Love . “Since I didn’t have a point of reference on how to love, I desperately want my boys to understand that I have tried to love them in the best way that I can.” These days, not only is Kail a loving and devoted mother, she’s also a wildly successful businesswoman who has launched and maintained a one-woman media empire worth millions. We think it’s safe to say she’s one apple who fell very far from the tree. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry Announces “Pothead” Haircare Line, Gets Shamed By Ignorant Trolls

Paris Jackson: Spiraling Toward Another Mental Breakdown?

Paris Jackson is a model, a free spirit, and a person who’s unafraid to clap back at her own family from time to time. But recent sightings and reports have fans and family concerned about her well-being. Is Paris headed for another emotional breakdown? RadarOnline reports that family and fans alike are worried about Paris Jackson. The model and actress was spotted walking through LAX on November 12. Her demeanor was described as “zombie-walking” and her shirt and general appearance were described as “slopping.” Not usually what you’d expect from a model who’s also the daughter of the late King of Pop. Allegedly, this has added fuel to the fire of concerns that Paris is heading towards another emotional or mental breakdown. According to RadarOnline ‘s report, those who love her are seriously worried. “Paris has been out of control,” the insider claims. Well, she’s an adult, so it’s not like anyone should be controlling what she does. The concern is that Paris herself is not fully in charge of what she’s doing. “But,” the source continues. “There’s nothing the family can do!” It’s natural to be worried about your loved ones — but is their alleged fear justified? Let’s start with the eyewitness description of how she looked at the airport. Folks, she was at the airport, not a runway, not a funeral. Some people get all dolled up and formally dressed every day of their lives. The rest of us only put on pants if we have to leave the house. Paris probably dressed in comfy clothes for flying on an airplane and also for sleeping on said airplane. Just a guess. Plenty of people look less than their best after a flight. Most of us just don’t have busybodies reporting on our demeanor afterwards. And then there’s Paris’ behavior over the past year. Early this year, Paris nearly plummeted to her death while dancing on a rooftop. Those of us with a sensible fear of heights and zero inclination to risk our lives ever were horrified to watch her nearly lose her balance. She was not alone, however, and she didn’t fall–she just stumbled. But temporarily wobblings near the edge of a roof is not the same thing as climbing up to a great height and contemplating jumping. It was scary, but probably not a real red flag. Fans were happy to spot her  locking lips with Cara Delevingne , but saddened when their relationship seemed to fizzle out over the summer. When Cara was seen with  Pretty Little Liars  star Ashley Benson, some worried about how Paris would feel. But Paris made it very clear on social media that she and Cara were never exclusive, anyway. Besides, much more recently, it’s been all about Paris and Gabriel Glenn . We don’t think that her non-exclusive relationship with Cara coming to a close drove her mental health over the edge. Also, though Paris mourned her grandfather, Joe Jackson , she has loving family and supportive friends. We don’t think that his passing gave her a breakdown. It just made her sad. Paris is a hippie. She likes pot. Her hair isn’t always picture-perfect. She has a very chill approach to most things in life. That’s just part of who she is, as a person. It’s understandable that fans, especially those who are younger, might be concerned about her when they hear rumors. And it’s expected that some of her family might wish that she conducted herself differently. Paris is her own person and a free spirit, and ultimately, she’s going to live her life on her terms — instead of worrying only about optics. Good for her.

Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin: Spotted Getting a Marriage License?!

In August, we learned that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin aren’t rushing to get married — that they were sure of each other, but waiting until 2019 to actually tie the knot. Fast forward one month, however, and their actions are telling a different story. Justin and Hailey were spotted at the courthouse, and it wasn’t over a traffic ticket. They went to the folks who give out marriage licenses. TMZ reports that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin were  spotted at the NYC Marriage Bureau on Thursday, September 13. Though Hailey and the Biebs were trying to keep things hush-hush, people of course noticed. According to at least one wyewitness, Justin gushed to Hailey: “I can’t wait to marry you, baby.” It was an emotional moment, and Justin was apparently crying and he spoke to his fiancee. Other eyewitness accounts say that Justin and Hailey hoped to keep this special moment as private as possible. According to TMZ ‘s sources who saw Justin and Hailey, Justin expressed gratitude for the discretion of people in the NYC Marriage Bureau. “Thanks for keeping it on the DL,” Justin reportedly said to a court official. Court officials may have professional guidelines, but random other people in the courthouse who are there on their own business do not. Incidentally, one witness referred to a person to whom Justin and Hailey spoke as a “judge,” which would imply that they actually got married right then and there. But the source  may have been using the term casually to refer to a court official, or may have misunderstood someone’s role. It happens. According to another witness, Justin and Hailey appeared to make some reference to leaving the country. Is it possible that they changed their plans and wanted to have a destination wedding — possibly a private one? That sounds romantic. Or, more cynically, they may have been headed somewhere (like Dubai) where the local laws are medieval and would not allow them to share a room unless they are married. We have to say, though, that it is difficult to picture these two lovestruck twenty-somethings getting a marriage license early just because it’s practical. So, a month ago, the two had solid plans to not get married in 2018. They were adamant about enjoying their engagement. What happened during the past several weeks to change their tune? Maybe it’s nothing — they could have been making some sort of inquiry. None of the witnesses to whom TMZ spoke said that they actually saw Justin and Hailey with a marriage certificate. But, let’s be real, something of significance happened or Justin wouldn’t have been in tears. Maybe the impetuousness of “youth” (he’s 24) caught up with them and they realized that they just couldn’t wait to call each other husband and wife. A marriage license is not the same thing as having a wedding, so perhaps Justin and Hailey were impatient and decided to get the license now, but to hold off on the wedding. If so, however, they’ve started the clock on their wedding plans. In New York state, a marriage license is only valid for 60 days. You need to have a wedding in that time, or the license expires. Folks, Justin and Hailey visited the Marriage Bureau 110 days before 2019. If they obtained a marriage license, they have just over half of that to get married. That big 2019 wedding could still happen, but it would leave us with questions about what Thursday’s emotional errand was all about. View Slideshow: Justin Bieber: All His Sexual Conquests, RANKED!

Sweet Swirl Love? Jesse Williams & Minka Kelly Reportedly Feel Like ‘Fate’ Brought Them Together

How sweet??? More Alleged Details Released On Jesse Williams And Minka Kelly Jesse Williams and his new lady are reportedly so happy together that they feel like “fate” brought them together. Amid rumors that the Grey’s Anatomy actor was seeing Minka Kelly a YEAR before filing divorce , new details on their coupledom have surfaced. If you believe the folks at InTouch, a super smitten Jesse and the actress are definitely dating and have “major chemistry.” Furthermore, they were indeed spotted in Paris looking very much like a couple and showing some major PDA. “They’re very happy,” a source close to the Friday Night Lights actress explains. “They’ve got a lot in common and have major chemistry.” That was clear to an eyewitness who saw the pair walking hand in hand on March 7 in Paris, where they’ve been working. “They were hugging and kissing,” the eyewitness recalls, adding that it seemed like the couple had just come from a date at the Louvre because Minka, 36, was carrying a bag with the museum’s logo on it.   Oh dear, don’t tell Twitter. InTouch who spoke with a source, also emphasizes that while Jesse’s still legally married to Aryn-Drake-Lee he was “single” when he met Minka because he’d been separated for over a year. Not only that, the hot and heavy couple reportedly feel like “fate” brought them together. “Jesse was single when his romance began with Minka,” insists the source. “The timing was right. They feel like fate brought them together.” Slippery slope here. While it’s nice to hear that two people found love in Hollyweird, the fact that he’s still technically married is making us give MAJOR side-eye. If you’re separated for over a year, do YOU think that makes you single??? WENN/Getty

**UPDATED** Blac Chyna Arrested At Austin Airport For Being A Drunk, Belligerent Mess And Holding Drugs

Blac Chyna Arrested For Public Intoxication And Drug Possession Blac Chyna just jetted off to London — giving Mama Kris a chance to roll up in her house and give her son Rob a talking to. But it looks like she won’t be making it to her final destination quite yet…seeing as how she just managed to get herself cuffed and thrown behind bars during her layover in TX. Via TMZ : Blac Chyna was arrested Friday after allegedly getting drunk and becoming belligerent during a trip to London … TMZ has learned. Chyna was busted in the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport Friday afternoon. Cops tells us, she was on her way to board her connecting flight to London when she started getting loud. She stormed toward the gate, got on the plane and screamed at a flight attendant, “Nasty ass bitch!” That was enough for cops … they got on the plane and arrested her on the spot. An eyewitness tells TMZ, Chyna appeared “heavily intoxicated” and was “fighting” with a flight attendant, acting “like a drunken fool.” Another eyewitness says, at one point she screamed, “Y’all got no respect for me. I gotta tie my shoes. Let me tie my Yeezys.” She’d just taken off a few hours earlier from LAX aboard a Delta flight. An eyewitness tells us, Chyna was handcuffed and crying as cops took her away. Chyna was in jail at the time of this post. She was booked for public intoxication. Funny…she looked fine on her way out of LAX earlier: Wow…wonder what’s got Chyna out here getting wasted on the first leg of her trip? It’s not even that long of a flight between LA and TX… If you’ll recall…Tyga did accuse Chyna of having an alcohol problem back in 2014 when he hacked her Twitter account and fired off this little rant : Naturally it seemed like he was just being petty at the time…but with this new development — plus the info that she and Rob were laid up in Khloe’s house getting faded for DAYS before Khloe came and put them out — could it be that Chyna is actually grappling with an alcohol issue?? **UPDATE** Apparently Chyna was also found to have as-yet-unspecified drugs on her person, and is also facing charges associated with drug possession. TMZ is reporting that she had over one gram, but less than four grams of whatever she was holding… We’ll stay with this story as more develops… Austin Police Department / Instagram / SplashNews

#BlackLivesMatter: Texas City Council Approves Measure To Rename Street Sandra Bland Parkway

Texas City Council Approves Measure To Rename Street After Sandra Bland Prairie View City Council has approved a measure to rename a major city street after Sandra Bland , the woman who was found dead in a Waller County Jail cell following her arrest last month. Via ABC 7 Chicago : Earlier Tuesday, hundreds of Prairie View A&M students, alumni, and friends marched at Prairie View A&M, pushing to get the street going into the university named “Sandra Bland Parkway.” Some of the participants were her sorority sisters with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Incorporated. Some went to school with her. Many never met her but her story touched them in some way or another. The walk started at the student union building at 4:27pm, the time Bland was pulled over on July 10 and subsequently arrested on University Boulevard. The walk ended about a mile and a half away at City Hall, where hours later council members agreed to rename the street. Authorities say the 28-year-old Bland hanged herself with a plastic bag three days after her arrest. But her case struck a nerve across the nation and in Prairie View. The majority of the people out marching on Tuesday said there are still a lot of unanswered questions surrounding Bland’s death. “If every time they pull over a student, they have to be reminded of what took place here, then that will help the relationship to be more respectful between the officers and the students,” protester Hannah Bonner said. Not everyone wants the street to be renamed. One woman told Eyewitness she believes what happened to Bland is tragic, but there are people who have done much more for the Prairie View community and who are much more deserving of such an honor than Bland. We will always remember Sandra Bland!

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s Tour Bus Sprayed With Bullets After Atlanta Concert Appearance

PARTYNEXTDOOR Tour Bus Attacked By Unknown Gunman Was Drake’s artist PARTYNEXTDOOR nearly killed after a concert in Atlanta on Sunday night? Rumors are swirling that after yet anther sold-out appearance on his PARTYNEXTDOOR LIVE tour, unknown assailants pulled up next to the OvO artist’s tour bus and opened fire. An alleged eyewitness who didn’t want to reveal his identity called VLADTV to break down exactly how PND’s tour bus and a car full of women trailing behind it were shot up in front of the Atlanta concert venue he performed at on Sunday night. But is all of this just idle chatter? No pics have popped up, no other eyewitness accounts have been reported, and no one has been reported injured that we can tell. Plus, neither PartyNextDoor nor anyone from his camp have commented on the alleged incident. Over at The Source , they went a step further and contacted the Atlanta PD to find out what happened. But still came up empty: When we reached out to a police precinct in Zone 5 of Atlanta where Center Stage, the venue PND played Friday night, is located, they claimed to have no knowledge of any incident involving the venue, PARTYNEXTDOOR, or a nearby shooting, but directed us to their Public Affairs wing for a better assessment. Our calls to Public Affairs were not returned. The OVO Sound singer/producer has yet to comment, and hasn’t tweeted in about 48 hours. No one else from the OVO camp has spoken on the alleged incident. That sounds like some pretty close-range shooting for no one to have gotten hurt…and he has an appearance in Norfolk, VA on Tuesday. Wonder if he’ll mention what happened at the show? Instagram
