Noah Brown to Welcome New Alaskan Bush Person!

Attention, Alaskan Bush People fans:  A new Alaskan Bush Person is on the way. Noah Brown, the youngest child of reality stars Ami and Billy Brown, has confirmed to People Magazine that he and his relatively new wife are expecting their first child. The couple has only been husband and wife for three months, but it takes far less time than that to conceive a child. “We’ve taken another step in the adventure that is our life together,” Noah tells the aforementioned publication, adding: “We didn’t try, and we didn’t not try. We figured that we’d just kind of let God and nature take their course and we ended up pregnant.” We’re pretty sure that if you have unprotected sex for any extended period of time, you are actively trying to have a baby. But parsing Brown’s words and/or philosophy isn’t the point right now, we know. The news is especially emotional for 26-year old because of what he and his family have been going through for over a year now. Many months ago, as you likely know, Amy Brown was diagnosed with lunch cancer. She appears to be in remission now, but many outlets claimed she was on her death bed on more than one occasion. Noah says that Ami cried when she learned she would soon be a first-ime grandmother. And Rhain said the following of her in-laws: “Every last one of the brothers has suddenly become so much more protective. It’s ridiculous. “It’s like, my raging hormones have drawn out their testosterone-fueled protectiveness. “Everyone’s like, ‘Don’t lift anything over your head.’ ‘Oh, you need a break.’ ‘How are your feet?’ ‘Do you need to sit down?’ ‘Here, let me help you.’ I’m like, ‘C’mon!’'” That’s pretty funny actually. And pretty darn cute. Noah previously told Radar Online that he and his better half “want several children together.” They got married in Idaho on August 15 in a small affair attended by all of Noah’s famous loved ones. “She is my wife for life and is going to make an amazing mom!” Noah more recently told Radar. As for the gender of their impending kid? Yes, Rhain and Noah know what he or she will be. But they are keeping it a secret for now. They also know what name their child will be given. “Before we were even married, we had talked about names,” Brown says. “It was one of the things that we just matched up on perfectly: We knew we wanted three children. But we didn’t know what we’d get, so we set out and we picked three boy names and three girl names.” They are clearly very well prepared. The baby is due in late spring, Noah also says, concluding: Spring is when the birds have their babies, and the deer have their babies, and the bears and the cougars, so we’re gonna have our baby too. “We just fit right in with the animals.” View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Chip and Joanna Gaines: We’re Returning to Television!

Chip and Joanna Gaines are about to take a new step in their professional lives. And it’s a significant one. The former HGTV stars announced on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Friday that they will soon make their long-awaited return to television. In what context? In what way? The beloved couple remained mostly mum on the subject while chatting with the comedian last night. “We signed a non-disclosure and it said quote unquote you can tell your mother but that’s it,” Chip joked on air, adding: “So mom, I just wanted to make a quick announcement, we are coming back to television. “You are going to get to see the kids grow up, you are going to see us, well maybe a six-month delay like the rest of the world, but we are excited to be back.” Just over a year ago, Chip and Joanna announced that would be leaving Fixer Upper after five seasons . Since then, the home renovation experts have been rather busy in their own home, having welcomed their fifth child in late June. However, Magnolia spokesman John Marsicano talked to People Magazine and offered a lot more detail on what the future holds for his co-workers: “We’re excited to share that we are currently in the early stages of talking with Discovery about a lifestyle-focused media network for Magnolia. “The details surrounding this opportunity remain a work in progress, but together, our hope is to build a different kind of platform for unique, inspiring and family-friendly content.” Speaking to Fallon, Chip did add the following: “I think we’re really going to carve it out in a way that really makes sense to us and our families. “It’ll be filmed a lot in Waco, Texas, so we don’t have to travel a whole lot. All things being equal, we could not be more excited.” Chip and Joanna hosted the top-rated show on HGTV prior to leaving the small screen. Fans fell in love with how they remade various homes, but also with how they joked around and interacted with each other. The upcoming new network will be the latest addition to Chip and Joanna’s gigantic list of successful businesses. This includes their lifestyle magazine The Magnolia Journal, the new Magnolia Table restaurant and the couple’s product line at Target. Despite bidding farewell to Fixer Upper in April, Chip and Joanna have remained very active in the business world. “The show was amazing and we are so thankful for it, but it’s also a whirlwind where, if you are not careful, it will flat run you over,” Chip told People in October. Looking ahead, Discovery spokesperson David Leavy says the following: “The Gaineses are exceptional people, true authentic storytellers and creative visionaries who will nourish millions of people with quality, family-friendly programming accessible on a 24/7 network and across all screens. “Stay tuned…working out the final details…more to come soon!” View Slideshow: HGTV Scandals That Rocked the Television World

Matt Brown, Alaskan Bush People Star, Checks Into Rehab

Matt Brown has taken the first step in his hopeful path to recovery. The Alaskan Bush People star has admitted he needs help. Speaking to People Magazine, the Discovery Channel personality says he is checking into rehab for the second time in order to receive assistance for a dependency on alcohol. “I struggle with substance abuse, and after a year of ups and downs, I decided to return to treatment,” the oldest Brown son tells the publication in this week’s issue. He adds: “I’m really grateful for everyone’s support and hope to have my life back on track soon.” The reality star first entered a treatment facility of this nature in the spring of 2016. What made him realize that he had to try again and that he had to turn his life around? “I could see myself spiraling,” Brown explains, acknowledging that he had been spending more and more time drinking over the previous year. “I was more withdrawn. I was slower. Things didn’t excite me the way they used to.” On a recent episode of Alaskan Bush People, Matt got injured while helping to build the family’s new residence. Overall, meanwhile, the Browns have been through a whole lot over the past two years; most notably, of course, the loved ones have been dealing with matriarch Ami’s very serious lung cancer diagnosis . It was believeed for awhile that Ami would not survive the Stage 4 illness, but she remains a major part of the series and of the family. Due to her need for medical care, however, the Browns have left Alaska and settled in rural Washington. Now, they’ll be without Matt for an unspecified period of time. (It’s unclear at the moment just where Matt will receive treatment and for how long he will be there.) “It’s hard not having one of my babies here with us,” says Ami, who is now cancer-free, yet has been informed she should undergo tests every three months for the rest of her life. “He was so strong for me, and I want to be strong for him,” she adds to People. “We miss him terribly, but we’d rather lose him from home for a little while than lose him forever,” dad Billy says. “We just want him to do what he needs to do to get better.” Amen. We send Matt our very best wishes. Alaskan Bush People airs Sunday at 9/8c on Discovery. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Yeezus Walks Alone: Kim Kardashian Says She And The Kiddies Are Definitely NOT Relocating To Chicago With Kanye

AM/Brian Prahl/Splash News / SplashNews.com Kim Kardashian Is NOT Relocating To Chicago With Kanye West Despite ‘Ye’s recent proclamation that he’s headed back to Chicago and never leaving again…don’t get ready for “Keeping Up With The Kardashians: Chi Town” to hit your screens anytime soon. Kim Kardashian says Kanye might be midwest bound, but as for her and their three kids…they’re staying put right where they are in sunny Calabasas. She doesn’t beleive that a relocation to Chicago would be all that beneficial for their three kids , 5-year-old North, 2-year-old Saint, and 9-month-old Chicago. As a source close to Kim told People Magazine , Kim will kick it in Chicago, but a full relocation is never going down, as far as she’s concerned. “Kim plans on spending more time in Chicago, but she isn’t moving there full-time. She thinks it’s best for the kids to continue their schedule in LA. North is in school and everything is working great. Kim doesn’t think a permanent move to Chicago benefits the kids. Also, Kim wants to be around her family as much as possible too. She loves their new house and it finally feels like a home to her.” On top of all the practical reasons she has for keeping herself and the kids put, Kim knows that Kanye is likely just talking out of his azz anyway. Kanye changes his mind in a heartbeat, so there’s no need to start planning for a big cross-country move when he may be off that altogether by the time his album comes out. “She will be supportive of Kanye’s plans and they do have a house in Chicago too. Kanye has a tendency though to change his mind quickly, so she is just going along with his plans because it makes him happy. Next week, something else might make him happier.” Or, as another source put it more bluntly: “He changes his mind like he changes his underwear.” Honestly, who’s really shocked? Kim gave her last husband Kris Humpries his walking papers shortly after he told her he planned to move her to the midwest and make her a regular degular housewife. She’s def not about to have ‘Ye moving her away from the California life in the limelight she’s made for herself. Chesnot/WireImage/Splash

Matthew Perry Reveals THREE-MONTH Hospital Stay; Is the Actor Alright Now?

About five weeks ago, we quoted a report that claimed Matthew Perry was on death’s door . It may have seemed like hyperbole to some, but the former Friends star has now come out and confirmed the following: He was REALLY sick for a long period of time. On Friday, the 49-year-old actor tweeted a few simple, albeit scary, words: Three months in a hospital bed. Check. Whoa there. Three months in a hospital bed?!? That makes it sound as if the “death’s door” report was not so far off base. Perry did not specify whether or not he’s finally been checked out of the hospital, but it’s safe to assume so based on that Tweet. The update comes a little over a month after a rep for the actor confirmed in a statement to that “Matthew Perry recently underwent surgery in a Los Angeles hospital to repair a gastrointestinal perforation. “He is grateful for the concern and asks for continued privacy as he heals.” The outcome of this specific surgery depends on how early the ailment was diagnosed, along with how severe the perforation is and whether the patient had another disease or illness at the time. We can’t really answer any of these questions when it comes to Perry. Often times, conditions such as appendicitis, stomach ulcers, gallstones and/or Crohn’s disease can cause gastrointestinal perforations, as can a stabbing to the abdomen and abdominal surgery. Moreover, smoking and excessive alcohol use can increase a person’s need for this procedure. And it’s a safe guess that this is why Perry has been suffering. The veteran star has open about his struggles with alcohol abuse and has even opened his own sober-living facility named Perry House. “I couldn’t stop,” Perry told People Magazine in 2013 of his substance abuse. “Eventually things got so bad that I couldn’t hide it, and then everybody knew.” A powerful voice in the battle against addiction, Perry also said the following at one point to The Hollywood Reporter” “You can’t have a drug problem for 30 years and then expect to have it be solved in 28 days.” This is a reference to the typical length of one’s stay at a treatment facility. In honor of his road to recovery, Perry was presented with the 2015 Phoenix Rising Award. “I’m an award-winning alcoholic,” Perry told The Hollywood Reporter. “I shouldn’t be getting an award; Phoenix House should be getting an award.” Along with his iconic role on Friends, Perry also anchored such programs as The Odd Couple. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Mr. Sunshine. We wish him all the best. View Slideshow: 31 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab

J.D. Madison, Southern Charm Star, Also Accused of Sexual Assault

J.D. Madison and Thomas Ravenel now have something in common. But it’s not friendship and it’s not a role on Bravo reality series Southern Charm. It’s the fact that each has been accused of sexual assault. We’ve documented in the past how Ravenel has been accused of raping both a nanny and a woman with whom he went on a date a couple years ago. The lead Southern Charm cast member has since announced that he will not be returning for Season 6. Now, People Magazine has confirmed that an incident report was filed in August 25 with the Mount Pleasant Police Department against South Carolina businessman Madison, who is pretty tight with Ravenel. He’s appeared multiple times on Southern Charm as a result. According to legal documents, allegations of rape, sexual assault and involuntary drugging have been leveled against Madison by a South Carolina female, whose name was redacted by authorities. The details are pretty disgusting. The alleged victim told police that the incident in question took place on August 21, 2017. She says that she was with Madison, his male friend and another female friend at her house for a drink prior to heading out to a local bar. While there, she alleges that Madison intentionally broke a glass – and, as she cleaned it up, Madison “slipped a drug” in her already-poured beverage on the counter. The victim says that, after finishing the drink, she fell in and out of consciousness. Later, in the early hours of August 22, the woman says she awoke in the guest bedroom of her home where Madison was “forcibly raping and sodomizing her.” The attack supposedly stopped after Madison received a phone call from his wife. Then there’s this addendum to the story: FITSNews has identified the male with Madison and the alleged victim that night as Jay Schwartz, a local chiropractor.  He was arrested on drug charges this same evening. Mount Pleasant are reportedly investigating these charges, while Bravo is yet to issue a comment. The allegations against Madison come three months after allegations of sexual assault were brought against Ravenel by “Nanny Dawn,” who was featured Southern Charm caring for Ravenel’s two children with ex Kathryn Dennis. Another unnamed woman also brought a similar charge against the Wealthy Charleston resident. Ravenel is currently under investigation by South Carolina police. He dropped out of the show this month admist these scandals , defiant in his statement and adamant that only Bravo producers had done anything wrong. “I’m not doing the show anymore,” Ravenel Tweeted, adding: “In the contract they have the right to fictionalize your story. They took advantage of me. I decided I’ve got too much to lose and informed them I’m not coming back.” This guy sucks so much. And even if J.D. Madison never faces any charges for what he’s accused of above, we feel confident in saying he sucks a lot, too.

Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin: Abstaining From Sex Until Marriage?!

By now, you’ve probably heard the news that Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are getting married . There was a time when such a development would’ve been treated with widespread skepticism. These days, however, Justin seems to have turned over a new leaf. Don’t get us wrong, there are still many people who think he and Hailey will never make it down the aisle — and many more who believe their marriage is doomed for failure. But if this were the Bieber who was still attacking paparazzi and making life hell for Selena Gomez , it would be a question of when he would royally mess this thing up, not if. By all accounts, the Justin of 2018 is a far cry from the obnoxious twerp the whole world wanted to smack just a few short years ago. He’s toned down the douchiness; he’s sober(-ish); and he’s reportedly seen the error of his old ways. And in the proud tradition of reformed celebs that dates back to the time when silent film stars used to be found passed out in bathtubs full of Prohibition gin, Justin has found Jesus. It turns out the savior wasn’t hiding between some groupie’s legs, as Justin apparently suspected for so many years. Anyway, Hailey was raised in a devoutly religious home, and Justin is trying to make up for all his years of wanton devilry by leaning way into this Ned Flanders routing he’s got going on these days. As a result, Bieber and Baldwin are participating in an experiment that once would have been unthinkable for the Biebs. According to Star magazine, Justin and Hailey are abstaining from sex until their wedding night. They’ve done it in the past, of course, but it seems that these days, the couple is so serious about keeping their hands off one another that they’ve been sleeping in separate locations. “They’re both very religious and they want to abstain until they’re married,” claims one insider. “Justin’s a recent convert, but Hailey was brought up with religion her whole life.” The source adds: “It’s important to them to wait. So after their dates, he goes to a hotel and she goes to her apartment.” Who would have thought we’d see a time when Justin freakin’ Bieber would be abiding by the Duggar courtship rules . Of course, like Hailey, we’re assuming the Biebs is unaccompanied during all those nights in his hotel room. Can’t say we’d be surprised if he occasionally invited some “company” over.

Demi Lovato in Rehab: What Do We Know?

Thanks to her first official statement since nearly dying from a drug overdose, fans now know what Demi Lovato is thinking. But these same fans do not know where Demi Lovato actually is at the moment. And that may not change any time soon. According to multiple outlets, the troubled artist has left Cedars-Sinai hospital in Los Angeles and is on her way to a treatment center. Not even the sleuths at TMZ have figured out Demi’s exact location, however, except to confirm that she will be in rehab someplace located a distance from California. Aside from getting the star all the professional helps she needs, part of the basis for this move is to also get Lovato far away from some of the bad influences that had overtaken her life in the weeks leading up to her overdose. As previously reported, these toxic friends were never really friends at all. They didn’t push Lovato to overcome her dark side and her dangerous impulses; they encouraged these sides and impulses to come out. As a result, Lovato spent most of the night partying to weeks ago, only to be found hours later in a state of unconsciousness. An assistant called 911 and paramedics arrived just in time to save the singer’s life. TMZ writes that Lovato flew via private plans to a rehab center that an insider describes as “one of the nation’s leading facilities for addiction.” By our estimation, this will be Lovato’s third time receiving professional treatment in such a manner — and we just pray, as cliche as it sounds, that this third time in the charm. Per Radar Online, meanwhile, Demi will remain at her rehab center for a minimum of three months. She is reportedly set to take this treatment seriously, despite having previously scoffed at suggestions from those close to her over the past several weeks that she needs help. It took the star being rushed to the hospital in order for her to see their point. “She is scheduled to stay for 90 days,” a source tells Radar simply. This same source says that Lovato is not being held against her will. This is not a case of an involuntary psychiatric hold, known as a Sectio 5150, which means that Demi will be free to check herself out of rehab at any time. “Demi left the hospital over the weekend. She will get continued care at an in-patient rehab facility,” reports People Magazine, adding: “At the hospital, she was surrounded by family and friends that support her sobriety. They all want Demi to be the best she can. Demi is surrounded by a lot of love. She has people in her life that really care. “She has a long journey ahead, but with all the love, her journey could absolutely be a positive one.” Lovato was sober for six years prior to this relapse. She talked openly during that time about her previous hardcore drug use, her self-esteem issues, her eating disorder and even the suicidal thoughts she had at seven years old . We’ve always admired the singer for her honesty and for her mission to help other teens and/or young women experiencing anything close to what she experienced. The superstar posted an emotional note on Instagram yesterday, which marked the first words to come directly from Lovato since her hospitalization. This message included the following: I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and have not done yet. I want to thank God for keeping me alive and well. To my fans, I am forever grateful for all of your love and support throughout this past week and beyond. Your positive thoughts and prayers have helped me navigate through this difficult time. I want to thank my family, my team, and the staff at Cedars-Sinai who have been by my side this entire time. Without them I wouldn’t be here writing this letter to all of you.

Carole Radziwill: Done with The Real Housewives of New York City!

We have another Real Housewives franchise cast shake-up. Just hours after we confirmed that Kenya Moore has left the Atlanta version of this program admist a messy contract negotiation, we can now also announce the following: Carole Radziwill is finished with Bravo as well. The 54-year-old, who not everyone realizes is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author, told People Magazine on Wednesday evening that she’s departing the cable network hit. She joined the program during Season 5. “After six seasons on Bravo’s RHONY, I have decided to return to what I do best –  journalism and producing,” Radziwill said today, adding in more detail: “I am sure this does not come as a surprise to any of the viewers, all of whom have been supportive, encouraging, and kind. “My original curiosity about reality television has waned over the years and I am focusing on TV and writing projects that better suit my more steady temperament. Radziwill came on board as a Real Housewife in 2012, along with Heather Thomson and Aviva Drescher. It may seem hard to believe now to those who follow this franchise closely, but Carole quickly became good friends with SkinnyGirl founder Bethenny Frankel in Season 8. Their friendship has soured significantly, however. Radziwill and Frankel went at it very hard , in fact, on the most recent episode of this reality smash. You can watch The Real Housewives of New York City online via the following video in order to see what transpired: Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 Episode 15 Online In her statement to People, Radziwill concluded with a combination of sincerity and humor: “I have worked with amazing producers, made great friends, and I’m thrilled to leave frenemies behind. “I will remember this entire experience with delight, humor, and a veracious accuracy. Next.” For those unaware, Radziwill really does have an impressive journalistic resume. She was stationed in Iraq back in 1991 and was embedded with an infantry unit of the 101st Airborne Division in Afghanistan in 2003. In 2006, Radziwill signed with Glamour magazine to write a monthly column titled Lunch Date. Carole also sold her first novel, The Widow’s Guide to Sex & Dating, in a six-figure deal to Holt Publishing. It was released on February 11, 2014. For her work, Radziwill has won three Emmys and a Peabody. In the wakeof her departure, meanwhile, Radziwill left a very simple note on Instagram. It reads as follows: Radziwill’s husband Anthony, died in 1999 after a five-year battle with cancer. She’s currently in an on-again, off-again relationship with chef and filmmaker Adam Kenworthy.

Julie Bowen and Husband Call Marriage Quits After 13 Years

The immediately family of one Modern Family star is about to change quite a bit. According to People Magazine, Julie Bowen and her husband of 13 years are going their separate ways. Bowen and Scott Phillips and got married in 2004 and share three kids together: Oliver, 10; and twins John and Gustav, both of whom are eight. There had been chatter for several months that Bowen and Phillips were on the outs, largely because they had not been seen together in public for quite some time. In fact, the pair were last photographed with their children at a Harlem Globetrotters game in Los Angeles nearly a year ago, in February of 2017. You have to go back farther than that, to September of 2016, to find the last time they walked the red carpet together. That also took place in Los Angeles, at the LGBT Center 47th Anniversary Gala Vanguard Awards in West Hollywood. Phillips – who works as a a real estate investor and software developer – did not attend the Emmy Awards in 2016, despite it being the couple’s 12th wedding anniversary and despite his wife’s sitcom being nominated at the time. Bowen, however, talked to People Magazine about the apparent snub and said there was nothing to read into it. “He’s come every year, he’s been so supportive and this year he was playing in a tennis tournament and I wasn’t nominated as an individual so I said, ‘What do you want to do on our anniversary?’’ she told the publication back then, adding: “I mean it’s such an honor to be nominated and to go, but it’s tough to be a purse holder.” That sounds reasonable. And it’s very possible that Phillips’ lack of attendance was unrelated to any marital strige. Elsewhere, in an interview with Us Weekly, the actress joked about being “too tired” to break up with Scott. “We watch all these people get married and split up and go, ‘Wait, did they get married after us or before us? We outlast all these people,” she remarked. “The answer: We’re too tired to do anything else!” That’s sort of funny… until it becomes clear that it’s actually more revealing than anything else. Bowen, of course has starred as Claire Dunphy on Modern Family since 2009. She has earned two Emmy Awards for the role and many millions of dollars. We wish both her and Phillips nothing but the best as they head into their futures. View Slideshow: 13 Friendliest Celebrity Break-Ups of All-Time
