Andrew Glennon: Who is Amber Portwood’s New Boyfriend?!

Last week, we saw something so wonderful and lovely and uplifting … We saw Amber Portwood canoodling with a guy who was most definitely not Matt Baier: meaning that there’s a good chance she’s finally done with that creeper. Of course, Matt is still running his mouth about Amber to anyone who will listen, which isn’t a great sign. But right now, let’s not dwell on the fact that Matt could slither his way back into her life at any time. Instead, let’s dwell on the new guy with the cowboy hat who seems to have Amber pretty darn smitten! So far, all we know about the guy is that his name is Andrew, and he’s 33 years old. He lives in L.A. and works in television production, and Amber met him when she was out there filming Marriage Boot Camp in June. We also know that he’s said to be filming for the upcoming season of Teen Mom OG, so that should be interesting. But thanks to a new report from E! News, we have a bunch of additional information about Andrew — for example, we now know that his full name is Andrew Glennon. While we knew that he met Amber while she was in L.A. filming Marriage Boot Camp, this new report claims that he was actually working on the show. A source explains that “It makes sense Amber and Andrew grew close during filming.” “Her relationship with Matt was in bad shape and when you’re shooting a show like this where there is a lot of heightened emotion, participants bond with the crew.” But even though they “grew close” while she was filming the show with Matt, “nothing happened” during that time. The source insists that “she didn’t cheat.” What happened was, while they were filming, “Andrew noticed Amber before she noticed him,” he waited until filming had ended before he reached out to her. When he did, “She and Matt were broken up and she invited him to come visit.” Just a few weeks after that, he did come visit, and “he’s been with her ever since. It’s been a longer stay than either of them expected.” And see, that part is a little weird, because that’s exactly what Matt did — he came to visit and he never, ever left. Filming ended at beginning of July, so if he came to visit after that, that means he’s been staying with her for nearly a month. Like, Amber, girl, it’s OK to take things slow sometimes. It is possible to form a serious relationship without moving your boyfriend in immediately. He’s able to spend so much time with her because, although he does have a steady career in production, he usually works “gig to gig.” He’s also “a little bit nerdy,” but Amber “likes that about him. She sounds very happy.” She also “loves” that he’s “really tall, well over 6 feet.” Well, if he’s really tall, why wouldn’t she move him in after the first date, right? We’re happy for you, Amber, but just take it easy. That’s all. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Couples: RANKED From Worst to First!

Jay Z: Kanye West Crossed the Line, and He Knows It!

Can you believe we’re coming up on the one year anniversary of the feud between Kanye West and Jay Z? Time must really fly when things are sad and pointless, huh? As we learned from one of Kanye’s epic rants during his Saint Pablo tour last year, his issue with Jay Z began when Jay didn’t reach out to him or his family after Kim Kardashian was robbed at gunpoint in Paris. Or, well, it began when Kanye disagreed with the way Jay handled a business situation — they’d recorded verses for a Drake song, but Jay cut them “out of respect” for Meek Mill, who doesn’t exactly get along with Drake. But the personal drama was a big source of contention — and honestly, it’s also way more interesting. Kanye begged him to reach out to him, like they were brothers, and he even said that their kids had never played together. Then, just about a month later, Kanye went on another rant about Jay Z, except this time, he had some words for Beyonce , too. In that rant, he claimed that Beyonce had said that she wouldn’t perform at the VMAs unless she won the award for Video of the Year. He admitted that she is “great,” but “sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forgetting who are just to win.” It was just a couple of days after this rant that Kanye had his mental breakdown , leading to a hospitalization to deal with his issues. But for Jay Z, that wasn’t an excuse. We heard time and time again that he was done with Kanye, that he simply did not care to deal with him or his feelings anymore. He seemed to confirm it himself with a track on his new album. In the song, titled “Kill Jay Z,” he rapped “I know people backstab you, I feel bad too, but this ‘f-ck everybody’ attitude ain’t natural.” “But you ain’t the same, this ain’t KumbaYe, but you got hurt because you did cool by ‘Ye,” he continued. “You have him 20 million without blinking, he gave you 20 minutes on stage, f-ck was he thinking? ‘F-ck wrong with everybody?’ is what you saying, but if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane.” It seems like a pretty pointed song about Kanye, right?  Except in a new interview, Jay claims that that’s simply not the case . “It’s not even about a Kanye diss,” he says. “It’s not a diss. I’m talking to myself the whole time.” “I’m not talking about Kanye when I say, ‘You dropped out of school, you lost your principles.’ I’m talking about me.” It makes sense if you take another look at those lyrics with that in mind, but it’s still undeniable that he’s talking about Kanye, at least a little bit. And that he’s not exactly pleased with him, either. “You got hurt, because this guy was talking about you on a stage,” Jay Z explains now. “But what really hurt me, you can’t bring my kid or my wife into it.” “We’ve gotten past bigger issues, but you brought my family into it, now it’s a problem with me.” He adds that “You know it’s a problem because me and him would have talked about it, been resolved out issues.” “And he knows he crossed the line. He knows. And I know he knows. ‘Cause we’ve never let this much space go between one of our disagreements and we’ve had many.” So it sounds like Jay Z got extra upset about Kanye for not only airing such personal issues in front of a large audience, but also for bringing up Beyonce and Blue Ivy at all. View Slideshow: 21 Celebrity Feuds We Never Saw Coming Fair enough, right? We just hope that Kanye can put his pride aside long enough to mend this relationship. It’s been long enough now.

Beyonce Shares Photo of Twins, CONFIRMS Baby Names!

After a solid month of rumors, gossip speculation and discussion from countless sources, we have finally heard from Beyonce herself. And Queen Bey delivered. Big time. The global music icon has confirmed the names of her newborn twins and shared the first photo of the pair, a fittingly glorious image. Somewhat amazingly, the widely circulated  Beyonce baby names we reported late last month actually turned out to be accurate. Neither the mother of three nor her husband Jay Z had publicly commented on the names (or even their birth, for that matter). As was the case with their first child, Blue Ivy Carter, the private couple kept all the details to themselves until they were ready. So we were left wondering when, or if, they would do so here, and highly skeptical of Internet reports citing “sources” with intel. But in this case, the rumors were true. “Sir Carter and Rumi 1 month today,” the 35-year-old captioned the photo above on Instagram in the early hours of Friday morning.  Posted four hours ago, it has already received more than four million Likes as we type … probably a lot more by the time you read this. (Don’t you even think of NOT engaging with it, either. The Beygency  has spreadsheets of all people who view it but don’t Follow or Like.) Also noteworthy – and overshadowed by that epic photo – is her acknowledgement of Sir and Rumi Carter’s birthday, one month ago. That would indicate the little kids’ birth as Wednesday, June 14, a solid 3-4 days before word got out that Beyonce gave birth to twins . Pretty impressive in this day and age. The family portrait, in which Bey wears a Palomo Spain ensemble, we’re told, evokes the same themes as her stunning maternity photo. Without question, the photo of her with the twins is a callback to Beyonce and Jay Z’s double baby announcement in February (above).  The couple reportedly filed trademark documents with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in late June to protect the baby names. Their company filed papers to trademark the monikers for items like fragrances and cosmetics to baby gear, tote bags, and water bottles. Are we serious? Yes, Sir! (Sorry, we had to.) Filing to trademark names of infants less than a month old may sound patently (eh, eh?) absurd for anyone not named Jay Z and Beyonce. Yet it makes perfect sense for the Carters, because you know someone would actually try to do exactly what they’re trying to prevent. (Sir Carter is gonna be an epic rap name, BTW.) Rumi and Sir join big sister Blue Ivy, 5. Their proud parents stepped out last night to support Roc Nation artist Vic Mensa in Los Angeles. In one of the A-list duo’s first public appearances since expanding their family, “she was all smiles,” an onlooker reports, and rightfully so. Dressed in a white long-sleeve mini dress, she had her arm wrapped around her 47-year-old husband’s waist as they left the bash. Jay-Z briefly went on stage Thursday night to introduce the rapper, who recently announced his debut album, The Autobiography . Neither addressed their family in any way, shape or form … likely knowing Beyonce planned to do so in the wee hours of this morning. It’s been a crazy month, much of which was spent in the hospital, but Beyonce and her family are all at living home, happy and healthy. For a while, their health was the subject of much discussion as the twins’ stay in the hospital dragged on longer than expected. From what we’re told, unspecified health issues after their birth – most likely signs of jaundice – delayed the duo’s departure significantly. While obviously concerning to any new parent, newborns spending time “under the lights” to correct possible liver issues is commonplace. There are no long-term effects or major health risks … only risks to mom and dad’s sanity being cooped up there for a week. Congrats again to the family! What do you think of the names? Hit or miss?

Kanye West and Jay Z: The Friendship is Over!

Forgetting watching the throne. According to a new tabloid report, Kanye West and Jay Z won’t be going near any thrones together ever again. Or any recording studios… or any backyard barbecues… or any post-awards show gatherings. Indeed, the once-close friendship between the rappers appears to be over. For good. “They will never speak again,” an insider tells In Touch Weekly. “It’s over.” The problems between Mr. Kim Kardashian and Mr. Beyonce are both personal and professional. A few weeks ago,  Kanye reportedly left Jay Z’s streaming service Tidal over a money dispute, claiming at the time that he was owed $3 million. An attorney for the star says Tidal has breached the contract it signed with West, hinting that further legal action may be pursued down the line. Then, of course, Jay Z dropped a new album (titled 4:44 ) and escalated his feud with his former BFF to an entirely new level. In the track “Kill Jay Z,” the artist addressed his former collaborator directly… and harshly.  This is what Jay rapped about ‘Ye: But this ‘f–k everybody’ attitude ain’t natural/But you ain’t the same, this ain’t KumbaYe/But you got hurt because you did cool by ‘Ye/You gave him 20 million without blinkin/He gave you 20 minutes on stage, f–k was he thinkin’? F–k wrong with everybody?’ is what you sayin’/But if everybody’s crazy, you’re the one that’s insane. The bond between Jay Z and Kanye goes all the way back to the early 2000s, when Kanye worked as a producer for Roc-A-Fella Records. They most famously and successfully collaborated on 2011’s “Watch the Throne,” a critically and publicly lauded album. But West ranted against Beyonce during a concert appearance late last year, just a few days before he checked into a hospital due to a mental breakdown. Things have been icy between the stars ever since, “Beyonce, I was hurt ‘cause I heard you said you wouldn’t be perform unless you won Video of the Year over me and over Hotline Bling,’’ Kanye said while on stage at the time, adding: “Now, don’t go trying to diss Beyonce, she is great. Taylor Swift is great. We are all great people. We are all equal. “But sometimes we be playing the politics too much and forgetting who we are just to win.” There’s been chatter for years that Kardashian does not get along with Beyonce. Many believe Kim is the cause for the issues between these husbands, while an insider tells In Touch that she wants her man to fire back at Jay Z in his own revenge-themed single. “[Kim] wants Kanye to record a diss track that will fully rip on Jay and Beyonce and how fake they really are,” a source tells the tabloid. What about potential backlash? “She knows that Beyonce’s fans will come after her, but she doesn’t care.” View Slideshow: Kanye West is Over Party: Twitter Users Celebrate Rapper’s Alleged Demise Shortly after Kanye broke down, Twitter hosted the party referenced and detailed above. But if West were really willing to come out firing against Hollywood’s most powerful couple in a new song?!? It’s safe to say he’d very much be back.

Human Ken Doll’s Nose Could FALL OFF on Botched!

Rodrigo Alves has undergone 51 cosmetic procedures and earned the nickname “The Human Ken Doll.” Whatever you might think of his personal choices, we can agree that Alves didn't undergo all of these surgeries to come out looking like Lord Voldemort. Unfortunately, as he learns in this appearance on  Botched , that might end up being the case. Because his nose could atrophy and literally  fall off of his face . Watch the video below! Okay, so Rodrigo Alves is a British television personality. He's also probably exactly the sort of person who qualifies as a plastic surgery addict. Like, we're no experts, but … seriously. That's 51 elective procedures. And apparently the last two procedures on his nose were so close together that they did some damage. While Alves laments that his last rhinoplasty's results were “perfect,” it sounds like there was a serious complication. And that's why he's on Botched . Look, by its nature,  Botched is full of horror stories. That's the show where we heard of Mama June's terrible C-Section mishap . There was a trans woman whose surgeon gave her unmanageably large breasts that she didn't ask for. Worst of all, one time Farrah Abraham was on Botched . That memory still keeps us up at night. But … we're talking about a man's nose turning black with atrophy and falling off like he's a cartoon character. The image is grotesque, but the risk sounds real. When somebody's face might pull a Sphinx if they make one more mistake with it, it's not time to mince words. “The issue is what we call the soft tissue envelope — that's the skin,” Dr. Nassif explains to a very worried Alves. “So, by you having three surgeries within a period of 12-15 months, destroyed your tissue — the skin's no good.” Just the thought of us makes our noses hurt in sympathy. Up to a point. Meanwhile, Alves himself notes that his friends never had problems but that he's unlucky, so he keeps asking “why me.” Like … we know that the situation sucks, but maybe there are little kids floating on makeshift rafts to escape their war-torn homelands whose “why me?” questions carry a little more weight. We're not going to dive into deep theological questions of why bad things happen. But we're guessing that maybe Alves' friends spaced their surgeries out a little more. “Your nose, on the inside … you have no airway,” Dr. Nassif continues in the tone of carefully explaining to a student why their failure to show up to an exam resulted in such a bad final grade. “And it's short, so this is all scarred together.” Big yikes. “And now, since you just had surgery three months ago, it's going to scary again more. It's in a healing phase.” Alves seems like he wants to protest, but the doctor keeps going. “If you try to [do another procedure on] your skin now, while it's healing, there's a high possibility, that if you let one of these doctors touch your nose now, this will turn black and then die and fall off.” It's pretty clear that the doctors, both Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif, are spelling it out for him to make sure that he gets it. And they're using dramatic language to do it, in almost a scared straight sort of effort. But it sounds like it's working. It sure scared the crap out of us. We hope that they can fix his nose, somehow. At the very least, we hope that Alves will listen to the good doctors. If not, he might end up playing the worst game of “got-your-nose” in world history. Watch the video to see their exchange — and his nose — for yourself. The photos can't do it justice.
