Laura DeMasie: Did Jana Duggar’s Rumored Girlfriend Move Away Because of Jim Bob?

If you’re a longtime fan of the Duggar clan, then you’re probably familiar with the name Laura DeMasie. Laura is Jana Duggar’s best friend , and some believe her to be much more than that. Yes, there have been persistent rumors that Jana and Laura are in love . That may seem absurd in the context of such a strict evangelical family as the Duggars, but in Jana’s case, a secretive same-sex affair would explain a lot. For starters, Jana is still single at the age of 29. That may not seem like a big deal, but it’s virtually unheard of for the Duggars — a family that teaches their daughters that procreation is their primary reason for being. Obviously, that doesn’t mean Jana is “single” because she’s not permitted to publicly pursue a relationship with Laura. However, it’s worth noting that these two spend a lot of time together — pretty much every waking moment. Laura assists Jana with her many household tasks, including homeschooling her younger siblings, and the two regularly appear on one another’s social media pages. At one point, 33-year-old Laura  lived with the Duggars in order to assist in educating Jana’s younger siblings full-time. That’s all about to change, however, as Radar Online reports that Laura will be moving to Georgia to pursue her goal of becoming an interior decorator. Laura has reportedly accepted a position with a company called Accent Decor, Inc. She excitedly announced the news on her Facebook page this week, revealing that she believes design to her true calling in life. “We were CREATED TO CREATE! Go create something beautiful!” DeMasie wrote. Many fans noted that while the wording of the post made it sound as though Laura is planning to move in the near future, DeMasie’s other social media activity makes it seem as though she’s already left Arkansas.  The abrupt nature of Laura’s departure — and the fact that Jana has yet to make any mention of it — has led some fans to the conclusion that DeMasie was “strongly encouraged” to relocate by Jana’s famously strict father, Jim Bob. That may sound like a reach, but considering how much of the Duggar media empire is based on ultra-conservative values, an openly gay daughter would be devastating to the brand. News of Laura’s departure comes on the heels of another Jana-related scandal. An alleged former suitor of Jana’s named Caleb Williams was arrested for rape  last month after allegedly having sex with an underage girl. So if Jana was ever romantically involved with either Caleb or Laura, we guess the past few weeks have cemented her reputation as being extremely unlucky in love.

Celebrity Big Brother Recap: Here’s What Really Happened to Anthony Scaramucci

When the Celebrity Big Brother live feeds opened on Tuesday night, many eagle-eyed viewers noticed a glaring omission to the cast: Anthony Scaramucci. The man who lasted ten or eleven days inside the White House had seemingly left the Big Brother house in just six days.  While he resurfaced at an event in Switzerland, Friday’s episode of the CBS juggernaut was all about filling in the blanks.  It turns out, Anthony was always supposed to stay in the house for a handful of days. He appeared via video message in a President Trump-like set-up and revealed the new to his houseguests.  “I’m actually not a Big Brother houseguest, but I am part of a Big Brother twist” the former White House Director of Communications revealed at the top of the hour. “Just like I left my mark in Washington, I’m going to leave my mark on the Big Brother game. First off: From this moment on, I’m out of the house.” “That means you’re all one step closer to the quarter-million dollar prize. The Big Brother house is just like my experience in Washington; you get judged quickly before people know who you really are — and you don’t get a second chance.” “So I’m giving the current nominees a second chance at safety.” With that, we learned that there was one more veto competition for the week, giving Jonathan and Tom a second chance to get off the block.  Before that, Ryan had to nominate another houseguest to take the Mooch’s place on the block.  He chose Kandi Burruss, citing the fact that their personalities “don’t really mesh.” Yes, really, and Kandi was pissed.  Ryan immediately followed up her nomination by trying to hug her, but she was not about all the fakery, so she told the Olympian to keep his distance from her.  Kato won the special POV, meaning the nominations would remain the same, or they could be changed in some way.  Kato went with saving his ally, Tom, and Ryan was forced to nominate another houseguest. He went with Joey Lawrence this time.  Dina votes to evict: Kandi  Kato votes to evict: Jonathan Tamar votes to evict: Jonathan Ricky votes to evict: Jonathan Tom votes to evict: Jonathan  Lolo votes to evict: Jonathan Natalie votes to evict: Jonathan Jonathan was the first houseguest evicted.  “It went really well, Julie,” Jonathan complained, adding: “Don’t team up with a gold medalist as soon as you enter the house. It’ll put a target on your back.” As for Julie, well she dragged Jonathan for trying to save Dina and not telling his allies.  What are your thoughts on the first eviction? Hit the comments below.  Big Brother continues Sunday at 8/7c on CBS.  View Slideshow: Big Brother: Meet the Most Controversial Houseguests

Ryan Edwards Arrest Details: He Drank, He Dashed, He Got Caught

It's very easy to make Ryan Edwards jokes right now. The former Teen Mom star just got arrested for the umpteenth time for drug possession and may be headed back to prison. But Maci Bookout's ex-husband and Mackenzie Standifer's current husband clearly has a legitimate problem. He has an addiction. He also has a newborn son at home. The poor little guy. So we aren't gonna blast Ryan here, we're just gonna relay the latest from his arrest. Courtesy of a Chattanooga Police Department report obtained by Radar Online, here is what we now know… 1. This is What Prompted the Arrest: A Bud’s Sports Bar server contacted the authorities after Edwards drank and dashed on December 19, 2018. 2. What Does That Mean? It means Edwards skipped out on his restaurant tab. He tried not to pay it. 3. How Much Did He Owe? “Edwards had ordered six Jack Daniels Whiskey drinks, totaling $36, and left without paying for them” the report reads. (That’s a pretty good deal for whiskey drinks, we agree.) 4. For How Long Was He at the Bar? From noon to 4 p.m., police say. 5. From There… An officer tracked down Ryan through the Criminal Justice Portal and the server confirmed his identity through this photo. A warrant was issued for his arrest. 6. Cue the Arrest The father of two was arrested on January 23, 2019. Hamilton County charged him with theft of services and held him on $500 bond. Ryan was also charged with possession of heroin from a Red Bank warrant. He’s being held on no bond for the second charge. View Slideshow

Leida Margaretha: 90 Day Fiance Villain Accused of Violent Attack

Leida Margaretha may have been the most hated cast member of her 90 Day Fiance season, which is quite the accomplishment. During the Tell All Part 2 , Leida’s conflict with Eric Rosenbrook’s daughter took center stage. But now her former sister-in-law has come forward to accuse Leida of a brutal violent attack. Leida Margaretha has a young son, Alessandro, from a previous relationship. Alessandro’s father is a man named Daniel, and Daniel’s sister is a woman named Amelia. (Amelia is still Alessandro’s aunt) She says that Leida’s toxic behavior began long, long before she ever became a reality star. Amelia went on social media and claimed that Leida attacked her when they were still sisters-in-law. And Leida was apparently being investigated by the police for this particular attack. To no one’s surprise, this apparently began with an argument between Leida and Daniel. After the bickering, Leida wanted Amelia to return with her to her parents’ house — but Amelia did not want to. “The next morning she was mad at me and destroy all me belongings,” Amelia says. She explains that Leida felt entitled to do so “because she thinks all my belongings is belong to her.” Amelia accuses Leida of stealing money from her and of threatening to ruin Daniel’s business, financed by her wealthy family, if they broke up. Beware, folks, because this is where the details turn violent. Amelia says that Leida has “anger issues” that drove her to track Amelia down when she was staying at her aunt’s house. She says that Leida arrived uninvited and was “screaming because I talk back to her.” Leida was allegedly “really mad” and “hit me and punch me in my face and my head at the same time.” Amelia also says that Leida kicked her during this encounter. She notes that, during the assault, Leida allegedly shouted “you should die!!” Obviously, a physical attack is the sort of thing where police get involved. Amelia says that she did press charges — initially. But Leida allegedly went to great lengths to “manipulate me to drop the case,” Amelia says. And, eventually, it worked. Amelia blames herself for dropping the charges, lamenting that she was “stupid and innocent.” There are a lot of violent, manipulative people in this world. It is never the victim’s fault. Amelia had much more to say about Leida, including accusing her of using expensive gifts to “blackmail” her own friends. At times, she would allegedly give someone a gift and then threaten to take it back if they displeased her. Amelia also says that Leida would surprise people with gifts, like a concert ticket to see Katy Perry, and later claim that the person begged for it. That also sounds nasty and toxic … and there’s more. Amelia says that Leida had very specifically banged on her door, screamed at her, and invaded her privacy over having a “messy room.” Does this sound familiar to anyone else? It should. Messiness was Leida’s exact issue with Eric’s teenage daughter, Tasha, whom she forced out of her own home. Leida’s own castmates were horrified and shocked by Leida’s treatment of Tasha. The only thing worse to them, some of whom are parents themselves, was the way that Eric seemed to accept Leida’s behavior. He admitted that he knew that Leida had called his own daughter a “bitch.” He didn’t seem to care. He also caved to Leida’s emotional blackmail and banned his own daughter from her apartment. As of the Tell All’s filming, he and Tasha have no relationship, and he sounds perfectly happy with that. Maybe he and Leida deserve each other. Eric has seen these accusations against Leida — taking aim at Soap Dirt for covering these same social media posts. He then tells them their business, insisting that they should hear both sides if they wish to be taken seriously. Our take is that Eric is the last person to lecture people on taking people seriously. Also, Soap Dirt and other outlets are just reporting Amelia’s accusations, the same as we are. If Eric wants to share Leida’s side of the alleged violent attack, he is free to do that. View Slideshow: 90 Day Fiance: Twitter Reacts to the Tell All

Mike Sorrentino: Prison Release Date FINALLY Revealed!

As you’ve likely heard by now, Mike Sorrentino began his prison sentence earlier this week. Back in January of 2018,  Sorrentino pled guilty to charges that he had failed to pay taxes on more than $9 million in earnings.  Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months behind bars, and today, Radar Online has confirmed that his release date is scheduled for September 13 of this year. Of course, prison release dates are rarely set in stone, particularly when the inmate in question is a celebrity who seems to have truly dedicated himself to rehabilitation and self-improvement in the months prior to his sentence. Federal prison consultant Dan Wise confirms that The Sitch will likely be sprung well ahead of schedule. But that doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be permitted to head straight home: “On such a short sentence of 8 months they will send him to a halfway house for two to three months at the end,” Wise claims . “Because of who he is, he may even get home confinement.” Yes, Mike is likely to serve a shorter sentence largely because he’s famous. That’s not to say that he’s receiving preferential treatment because of his celebrity status (although that could certainly be the case). The reasons why a parole board might prefer to grant Sorrentino an early release have more to do with the fact that celebrities are thought to be risky distractions by prison officials. If anything should happen to Mike, a lot of people who prefer to keep low profiles would suddenly find themselves making national headlines. Add that to the fact that Sorrentino’s sobriety and philanthropic work has been well-documented by MTV camera crews, and it’s not hard to see why Mike might be a prime candidate for early release. All he has to do now is keep is nose clean and serve his time quietly. According to Sorrentino’s wife, Lauren Pesce, that’s exactly what he’s been doing. Pesce tweeted an update to fans from Mike’s account earlier this week: “Mike would like to thank all of his fans worldwide for the unbelievable outpouring of love & support,” she wrote. “We speak everyday & he’s doing great. He’s received thousands of letters, he won’t be able to respond to everyone but wanted to express his gratitude to each and every one of you,” Lauren added. “Thank you from the both of us; it is truly heartwarming to have this support during this time.” Here’s hoping Mike’s time on the inside is as brief and uneventful as possible.

Ryan Edwards to Tinder Match: You Wanna Do Some Coke?

Sigh. Well, folks, the “maybe Ryan Edwards isn't such a terrible guy, after all” narrative was fun while it lasted. As you probably know, Ryan got out of rehab last month after completing a 90-day course of treatment. Those closest to the troubled Teen Mom OG star claimed he'd changed his ways, but it looks as though he's already fallen back into his old habits. Earlier this week, we learned that Ryan is once again using Tinder to try and cheat on Mackenzie Standifer . And according to new screenshots obtained by Radar Online, he's off the wagon and looking to get high with some of his hookup partners. Here's what we know about this sad situation so far:   1. A Familiar Pattern This isn’t the first time that Ryan checked into rehab, emerged triumphant, and immediately went back to his old ways. 2. Ryan’s Hope Family and friends had hoped this time would be different. It was the longest Edwards had ever remained in treatment, and his wife recently gave birth to a baby boy. 3. Squandered Potential They hoped sobriety would make Ryan a better husband and father and keep him out of trouble with the law. 4. No Magic Bullet Sadly, rehab doesn’t always result in sobriety, and sobriety doesn’t always make former addicts more trustworthy or responsible. 5. A Troubled Man Obviously, Ryan’s heroin addiction and the legal problems that resulted from it are the biggest obstacles in his life — but he has a lot of other demons to conquer, as well. 6. Lyin’ Ryan Though they’ve been married less than two years, Ryan has been caught cheating on Mackenzie on numerous occasions. View Slideshow

Ryan Edwards & Mackenzie Standifer Share First Photo of Baby Jagger Amid Rumors of Marital Strife

Ryan completed rehab last month, and he immediately returned to a life of tremendous responsibilities and obligations. His wife, Mackenzie Standifer, gave birth to son Jagger while Ryan was in treatment, which means Edwards came home to a new son, a notoriously troubled marriage, and the eyes of millions of Teen Mom fans watching his every move. It's a great deal of pressure, and sadly, it seems the couple is already showing signs of strain. But they're still doing their best to maintain a pleasant facade on social media. Take a look: 1. The “Happy” Family Here it is — the first official photo of Ryan and Mackenzie’s new baby boy, Jagger! 2. Getting Creative Mackenzie posted pics of Jagger while Ryan was in rehab, but she always obscured his face. 3. Reunited Now that the whole family is back together, however, it seems Mackenzie has finally decided to share Jagger’s smile with the world. 4. Ups and Downs It should be an exciting time for Ryan and Mackenzie. Unfortunately, their reunion has been marred by an ugly rumor. 5. Back At It Radar Online reported today that Ryan has once again been caught seeking out potential cheating partners on Tinder. 6.

Mom Busted for Smuggling Booze Into Theater in Young Son’s Sippy Cup

Not every mother is going to be Mom of the Year, but this one isn't even especially good at being a bad mom. A woman in Cobb County was arrested after getting drunk at a movie theater after sneaking in an alcoholic beverage … in her 5-year-old's sippy cup. To make matters worse, her 5-year-old child was with her at the time. Kristina Gibson is now facing misdemeanor reckless conduct and public intoxication charges following an incident on a Friday afternoon. According to an arrest warrant, “Gibson filled her 5-year-old son's sippy cup with a strong alcoholic beverage.” Judging by the fact that she got so very intoxicated, it almost sounds like she was drinking straight liquor, but that is just speculation. The warrant continues: “and became intoxicated in the theater.” It is also believed that she may have taken a central nervous system depressant at the same time — which may have interacted with the alcohol. The Friday incident took place at the Merchants Walk Stadium Cinemas in Cobb County. She allegedly used her son's sippy cup to smuggle in the alcoholic beverage, but there is thankfully no indication that her son had any of it. The warrant accuses Gibson of becoming “unable to walk, talk, or care” for him. Her son's cries then alerted moviegoers, who notified theater employees who then contacted police. Thankfully, the staff at the theater prevented Gibson from entering her car to drive away with her son. It sounds like that could have been catastrophic. When police arrived, an officer tried to zip Gibson's purse, presumably to prevent its contents from spilling. This is when Gibson allegedly told the officer “I will (expletive) kill you.” Don't do that, folks. Gibson was not immediately arrested, but was instead taken to the hospital by police, who were concerned about her level of intoxication. Only after she arrived at the hospital and was no longer perceived to be a threat to anyone was the arrest warrant filed. A family friend picked up her 5-year-old son from the theater. Gibson remained in the hospital for nearly a week before being released. At that point, she was arrested and booked in Cobb County Jail. She was released on bail for $1,000. It is still unclear if she actually took the drugs described as prescription central nervous system depressants. That sounds to us like a benzodiazepine — which, as we all know, can become dangerous when combined with alcohol. That would explain how someone (especially someone who may be an experienced drinker) could become intoxicated on a sippy cup's worth of alcohol. As one fellow moviegoer put it: “We go to the movies to have a good time! But … that's not the way to do it.” The issue here is not with a woman finding a creative way to smuggle alcohol into a theater, but endangering her son and potentially other drivers in the process. Though … we should point out that a sippy cup is a terrible way to smuggle in a drink. Like, flasks exist. Even if this is one of those creepy theaters where they search people's bags, there had to be a way for her to indulge herself without involving her son. It really sounds like this woman was not thinking straight.

Jenelle Evans Rushed to Hospital: Is David Eason to Blame?!

Earlier this week, Jenelle Evans was rushed to a North Carolina hospital to undergo emergency surgery. Evans is typically quite vocal about every aspect of her personal life, but aside from one brief mention in a now-deleted Instagram story, Jenelle has kept mum about this frightening incident. Obviously, Evans has made quite a few enemies on social media over the years, but even her harshest critics are eager for reassurance that the crisis has been averted, and she's recovering according to schedule. At the moment, rumors abound as to why Jenelle has been so uncharacteristically quiet about her latest health crisis. Here's what we know about this scary — and very mysterious — situation thus far: 1. A Difficult Week The surgery marks Jenelle’s second trip to the hospital in less than a week. Just days ago, she took son Kaiser in to have his adenoids removed. 2. Ups and Downs The good news is, Kaiser has made a full recovery. The bad news is, it wasn’t long before Jenelle was forced to undergo treatment of her own. 3. Recovery According to Radar Online, Jenelle was unexpectedly hospitalized and forced to undergo an “invasive” sinus surgery on Monday. 4. Worse Than Expected? “She was supposed to have her sinuses drained, and now they’re doing a more invasive procedure,” an insider tells the outlet. 5. An Unusual Condition Sinus conditions that necessitate emergency surgeries are rather rare in young women. That fact, combined with Jenelle’s silence on the subject, has led to widespread speculation on Twitter. 6. The Ugly Truth? Many who pay close attention to Jenelle’s social media posts believe there’s reason to suspect she was a victim of domestic violence. View Slideshow
