Courtesy of We TV Dr. Ish’s Tips On Getting Through The Holiday Season The holidays are a time for spending time with loved ones, enjoying great food, company and gifts. But for many, the holiday season means arguments, spending time with estranged relatives, resentment, feeling unfulfilled and grieving for lost loved ones. “The holidays are tough because its the end of the year, and we all take stock and the inventory of the year that was, the things we got done – but the human part is that we think mostly about the stuff that didn’t get done, and the stuff that didn’t go right,” Dr. Ish said. But Dr. Ish , “Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars” resident psychiatrist, said there are ways to make it through the holidays without tears and with your relationships intact. We sat down with the TV doctor for his top tips on how to navigate the holidays’ emotional minefields: Wenn Photos Remember You’re On The Same Team “It doesn’t matter how we feel about each other right now, the issue is out here, and you and me are over here. If the issue is cheating, let’s talk about fixing that. If the issue is friends, let’s talk about that. Don’t attack each other. Attack the problem.”
At one point, Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin were considered one of the most stable couples in the Teen Mom franchise. Oh, how times have changed. These days, Kailyn and Javi have been divorced for over a year, but they seem unable to stop rehashing what went wrong in their marriage. Part of the problem is that fans are still intensely interested in learning every detail of Lowry and Marroquin's drama, which means there's an extensive market for their tales of marital woe. It's a state of affairs (no pun intended) that's led to some very surprising revelations… 1. Kailyn and Javi In Happier Times Even after their divorce, Kailyn and Javi briefly managed to maintain an amicable co-parenting relationship. Sadly, those days are long over… 2. Cheating Rumors Allegations of infidelity led to the dissolution of Kail and Javi’s marriage, and it seems those suspicions are still preventing the former couple from reaching a place where they can be civil with one another. 3. Another Deployment Javi is soon to be headed overseas for another tour of duty with US Air Force. No doubt he and Kailyn would like to iron out their differences before he leaves, but it’s a task that may prove impossible. 4. Briana Drama Part of the problem, of course, is that Javi is currently dating Kailyn’s rival and Teen Mom 2 co-star, Briana DeJesus. 5. Boot Camp Blues Javi and Kailyn appear on the current season of Marriage Boot Camp, despite the fact that their marriage is long over. Their stated goal was to improve their co-parenting relationship, but that doesn’t appear to be happening. 6. The Truth Comes Out On tonight’s episode, Kailyn and Javi will both submit to lie detector tests. Needless to say, the interrogations did not go smoothly… View Slideshow
Is anyone else a little alarmed by how fast Amber Portwood’s new relationship is moving? Because you really, really should be. Sure, this new guy, Andrew Glennon , seems nice enough, and at least he has a job. Plus, as far as we know, he doesn’t have a slew of secret children he refuses to support. What we’re saying is that at this point, he seems miles better than Matt Baier, and that’s definitely a good thing. But the fact remains that Amber has never, ever been in a healthy relationship. Not ever. She was with Gary Shirley for a while, and they may win the crown for the most toxic relationship in Teen Mom history. After that, she dated that guy she met at the Walmart who later, on their first date, revealed that he’d just been released from prison and that meeting her was the best day of his life. She missed out on dating for a little while when she went to jail herself, but after she was released, she promptly began dating Matt. It’s all bad, and honestly, we kind of have to automatically question any guy who would think dating her right now would be a good idea. So sorry about it, Andrew. Luckily for us and our hobby of boyfriend judging, Amber and Andrew just did their first interview together as a couple. So let’s check it out and figure out what’s wrong with this guy! To start, Amber confirmed what we already knew: they met earlier this summer while she and Matt were filming a new season of Marriage Boot Camp. “He didn’t really know who I was and we didn’t talk on the show because, you know, he would get in trouble, and I would have gotten in trouble,” she explains. “But I didn’t even know that he even liked me! It just simply was he had a little crush on me.” Red flag number one: because seriously, can you imagine how much of a hot mess Amber must have been on Marriage Boot Camp? And he developed a crush then? Amber says that two weeks after they finished filming — so mid-July — he reached out to her. “We decided that we wanted to be friends at first because we were just having so much fun talking with each other and, you know, then when he came out to hang out, we just had even more fun together, so that’s just kind of how it started.” Red flag number two: this is exactly how Matt worked his claws into her. He came to “hang out” and never left. Andrew says that when he came to Indiana to see her, “It was definitely butterflies there , but again, as we started talking, strangely I felt so comfortable, which was amazing.” Amber claims that “We’re going slow and we’re just trying to be smart about everything, which is good to find somebody on your level like that.” “I think we just kind of fell into this groove of really enjoying life with each other for a while, so it’s kind of fun and it’s kind of serious in a way as well, but we’re trying not to put too much pressure on a relationship.” Red flag number three: what the hell is she talking about, “we’re going slow”? Last we checked, introducing your daughter to a guy you just really started talking to a month ago isn’t exactly “slow.” But thankfully, Andrew lives out in Malibu, and he hasn’t moved in with her — yet. So for now, they have a long distance relationship. Which, according to Amber, has ‘been good because we can give each other space. It balances everything out especially when you first break up with somebody.” Because, as she says, “you don’t really want to jump right into another situation” immediately after a breakup, but “some men are worth it, some aren’t.” And Andrew is “definitely worth my time.” As for the fact that Amber already introduced Andrew to her daughter, she says “Leah sent me a message, like, pretty much she really likes him.” “I think she just thinks he’s new and different which is a good thing, but like I said, nothing is forced and we’re not trying to jump that part of my life in, so it was very chill, very relaxing.” She adds that “Leah was very comfortable,” which … sure, OK. Amber also confirms that Andrew will appear on the next season of Teen Mom OG, because why wouldn’t he? She then throws in this gem: “I think the reason why we are where we’re at right now is because we both have kind of let it flow and then it became more serious and then we became committed.” View Slideshow: Teen Mom Couples: RANKED From Worst to First! Again, these two have been dating for one month . But hey, Amber, you do you.
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!
Despite the fact that she’s been feuding with Farrah Abraham for well over a year now, Amber Portwood seems to take a lot of her career cues from her least-favorite co-star. First, Amber planned to star in a sex tape – a trail initially blazed by Ms. Abraham. Now, it looks as though Portwood will be following in the Backdoor Teen Mom’s footsteps once again – but this time she plans to remain fully clothed. Radar Online is reporting that Amber is headed to Marriage Boot Camp , alongside her most recent ex, Matt Baier. You may be thinking you yourself, But Amber isn’t married. In fact, she dumped Matt Baier like a week ago! Those are both very good points, but it seems that these days the “Marriage” part of the title is being taken as a mere suggestion. Farrah isn’t married either, but she appeared on the show’s recent “Family Edition” alongside her troubled parents … who are also not married. Anyway, there’s been no official announcement from either Amber or the show, but insiders say it’s a done deal. “They’ve been in talks with production for a while,” says one source. Tellingly, reps for the show didn’t deny that Amber is involved when they were reached by Radar for comment. So does the fact that Amber and Matt are appearing on the show together mean that they’re hoping to reconcile? Not necessarily. Shows like Marriage Boot Camp often pay six figures for just a few weeks work, and we imagine Baier could really use the money. Amber is far more financially secure, but she must realize her time as a top-level reality star will likely come to a close within the next 2-3 years, and she’s hopefully putting away a nest egg for her daughter (and the remaining decades of her own life). Amber hosted an Instagram livestream last night and openly laughed at the suggestion that she’s only worth $288,000, telling fans that she owns individual cars worth more than that. We think it’s safe to say she’s living a bit beyond her means these days. So Amber and Matt will probably just go on the show, scream at each other a lot, and then go their separate ways, each considerably more wealthy than before. Watch Teen Mom online to remind yourself of how ill-suited they were as a couple.
Last week, the world was shocked to learn that former New England Patriots tight end and convicted murderer Aaron Hernandez was found dead in his prison cell after having apparently taken his own life. As details of the 27-year-old’s final moments emerged, it became clear that the tragic incident might forever be surrounded in mystery. Authorities confirmed that Hernandez scrawled a Bible passage on his forehead in red ink and used the same ink to create the appearance of wounds on his hands and feet in apparent reference to the crucifixion of Christ. The Bible in his cell lay open to the chapter and verse written on his forehead, and tucked inside the pages were three separate suicide notes: One was addressed to Hernandez’s former fiancee, another to his 4-year-old daughter, and a third to a fellow inmate. It’s been widely reported that the inmate was Hernandez’s gay lover . Details about the convict were slow to emerge, but today, Radar Online is i dentifying him as Kyle Kennedy , a 22-year-old Massachusetts man serving a sentence on armed robbery charges. The contents of the letters remain unknown, but those familiar with the situation say there’s little doubt that Hernandez and Kennedy were involved in a romantic relationship. Insiders add that prior to his death, Hernandez transferred ownership of a $50,000 watch to Kennedy as a gift for when he’s released from prison. Kennedy has reportedly been on suicide watch ever since the night when Hernandez’s body was found. Kennedy has been in prison since January of 2015, when he was arrested after robbing a gas station cashier with a knife. The revelation that Hernandez may have been bisexual sheds new light on the details of his murder conviction. Throughout the trial, a Hernandez associate named Ernest Wallace claimed that Hernandez’s victim, Odin Lloyd, repeatedly taunted the athlete with gay slurs and threatened to out him. Wallace says he believes it was Hernandez’s fear of being exposed as bisexual that motivated him to take Lloyd’s life. We may never find out for certain what motivated Hernandez to murder Lloyd and then take his own life. All we know now is that this unimaginably tragic situation somehow continues to get sadder by the day. View Slideshow: Aaron Hernandez Commits Suicide; The Internet Reacts
When we first learned that Farrah Abraham would appear on Marriage Boot Camp , our initial reaction could be summed up with the letters “W,” “T,” and “F.” After all, Farrah’s not married, and she’s currently not even in a relationship (though the fact that she was single didn’t stop her from appearing on VH1’s Couple’s Therapy). Then we found out that this was the “family edition” of the show, and we went from confused to way too excited. You see, Farrah’s family is almost as messed up as Farrah herself. For starters, her parents spend an inordinate amount of time together despite being divorced. On top of that, Farrah’s mother, Debra Danielsen wants to be a rapper , while her father, Michael Abraham, is basically a human doormat. Michael and Debra can’t quite rise to Farrah’s level of insanity, but they make a noble effort, and we commend them for it. Of course, in order to get a feel for just how emotionally unstable a person is, you have to get them out of their comfort zone and put them in the presence of someone who will call them on their bullsh-t. Enter Kendra Wilkinson. Kendra has plenty of messed-up marriage experience, but she’s appearing on Marriage Boot Camp in order to sort out her issues with her mother – and to lock horns with Farrah. In a recent interview, Kendra opened up about her time on set with the Abrahams, and she’s not shy about admitting that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with them. (Which is, of course, the perfect reaction to being forced to spend time with Farrah and her family.) “I respect everybody and their situation and their problems. But, I don’t know, I didn’t really – their whole little thing, I wanted to not be in the same room with them,” Kendra told People magazine. The shade-throwing continued when Kendra basically pulled a Mariah, claiming she didn’t know anything about Farrah before they shot Marriage Boot Camp together: “I don’t watch her or anything so I wanted to start from scratch when it came to meeting other celebrities from the house,” she explained. “I don’t like coming from judgment, I like to just know people – starting from scratch, not who they are, what they do on TV.” Kendra proceeded to drop the mic by basically saying the Abrahams faked their drama for the cameras: “I didn’t trust it,” Wilkinson said. “I like real and raw. They were cool, I just kind of stayed away.” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs That’s some grade-A trash talk. We think Farrah may have finally met her match. Watch Marriage Boot Camp online to see two of reality TV’s angriest women butt heads.
Kendra Wilkinson … well, to put it mildly, Kendra Wilkinson has a wide variety of issues going on. Issues that, altogether, make her one of the most ridiculous celebrities in the history of celebrities. Like, the girl's husband cheated on her , and she managed to milk the affair for two seasons of her reality show, plus a stint on Marriage Boot Camp. She has a troubled relationship with her mother, so she brought her on television to tell her that the devil had eaten her soul . There's a lot to unpack with her, and it's 100 percent silly. So sure, why wouldn't she make herself a mother of three? In a new interview with E! News, Kendra sat down to talk about a bunch of things, including the possibility of having a third child. She's already mom to little Hank Jr. and Alijah, but is she thinking about expanding her brood to zone-defense instead of man-to-man levels? “Hank and I talked about having a third kid the other day,” she began, “and I'm like “NOPE!” She said that Hank wants to have another kid, but “as they get older, I'm sacrificing them for me. You know, it's about me right now.” Her children, by the way, are 7 and 2. In other words, it's not like she's focusing on herself now that the kids are about to leave the nest. Mother of the Year over here said that she's “looking too good” to get pregnant again.” See Kendra explain more about her overwhelming selfishness in the interview below:
Mama June has had a busy couple of years, huh? In 2014, she and Sugar Bear decided to take some time apart in their relationship, and just a couple of months later she was dating convicted child molester Mark McDanie l. Her relationship with McDaniel caused TLC to pull the plug on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, leaving the family without a reality show and a steady paycheck. A year later, Mama June and Sugar Bear decided to give love one more chance on Marriage Boot Camp, where we learned that Sugar Bear cheated . A lot . She laid low for a while after that, but as we all know, she landed one more reality show with Mama June: From Not to Hot, where she's been losing so much weight and getting so much plastic surgery. But since the season finale airs tonight, what's next for June? Since she's single and officially hot these days, could she find love on a reality show? The reality dating show, perhaps? Could she be the next Bachelorette?! Mama June was asked that very question in this new interview, and her answer may shock you. She reveals that when her current reality show was in talks, it was actually going to be called Marrying Mama June. However, she says that “you can't do that. I feel like you can't fall in love and [get to know] someone in just a couple of months.” Hear June's reasoning — and find out what's next — in the interview below:
Marriage Boot Camp has officially reached the point in its run where producers have decided to completely 86 the premise and just become that show where reality stars scream obscenities at each other, regardless of the nature of their relationship. Fortunately, they picked some of the most bonkers reality stars in the business, so we're not complaining. Farrah Abraham, Kendra Wilkinson, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson all apparently has serious beefs with their families, and they've confusingly come to the Marriage Boot Camp house to work things out. Yes, it's Marriage Boot Camp: Family Edition, aka Marriage Boot Camp: Let's Be Honest, We Weren't Fixing Any Marriages Anyway. We figured the show had peaked with Tara Reid's drunken antics last year, but it turns out you can always ramp up the crazy by simply adding Farrah to the mix. “You're a stupid, dumb bitch,” Farrah yells at Debra Danielsen during one particularly therapeutic scene. The Farrah-Debra relationship has always been a toxic one, but the upside of that is they can usually be counted on to be the most batsh-t reality stars on any show about batsh-t reality stars. This time, however, it looks like Kendra and Patti may be able to give them a run for their money. “No mother wants their mother to be a whore,” Kendra's mother tells her in a scene that reminds us we're watching a serious show about serious therapy. Eh, who are we kidding? We can make fun of this show til the cows come home, but with a cast like that, we'll be front and center to watch the fireworks on April 28.
