They’re no strangers to drama, but the war of words that erupted between Vicki Gunvalson and Tamra Barney on The Real Housewives of Orange County season finale this week was extreme even by their standards. What’s more, it apparently continues on the upcoming reunion show. “Vicki insinuated that I cheated on my ex-husband, Simon, with [my current fianc
If you tuned in to NBC’s Today for the first time Friday and observed Savannah Guthrie alongside Matt Lauer, you’d never have known Ann Curry existed. The morning show opened with Guthrie and Lauer behind the desk, minus the usual voiceover announcing the anchors or graphics identifying them. Matt and Savannah simply launched right into the news. Even at 9 a.m., when Savannah Guthrie typically handles the bulk of the show’s content, there was zero mention of the shakeup, which became official with Ann Curry’s farewell speech on Today not even 24 hours prior. Instead, she, Lauer and Al Roker segued from a Maroon 5 performance to local news, weather and Guthrie running solo on the first segment of the hour. She later was joined by Roker and Natalie Morales, who was reportedly in the running to replace Curry (which could have led to Matt Lauer’s divorce ). Though Guthrie (pictured) is presumed to be Curry’s successor, especially after what we witnessed today, NBC has yet to make an official announcement. [Photo: WENN.com]
With multiple stints in jail from failing to adhere to terms of her probation, followed by a five-year prison sentence, Amber Portwood has had a rough 2012. The Teen Mom star’s downward spiral makes Jenelle Evans look stable. But is she really barred from seeing her daughter until 2017, as rumors suggest? Fortunately, Amber’s brother Shawn tells E! she’s in a “mandatory reception period” where she can’t see Leah , but after that, visitation should resume. “They are in the process of transitioning her from one place to another,” Shawn Portwood said . “After that, it’s only a matter of time before she sees Leah.” The Indiana Department of Corrections concurred, saying Amber is “currently going through an intake and diagnostic process and is not allowed visitors.” There will be no exceptions during this period, typically 2-3 weeks, even those permitting Amber to see her daughter, due simply to “normal protocol.” “The purpose of this is to get them ready for the facility that they will be assigned to,” he adds. “Once she is there she will then be allowed visitors.” Shawn notes that his sister “has to undergo therapy” and reiterates that “when she is done with processing then she will be able to see Leah.” “She is not being treated any differently than anyone else.” As it turns out, Amber might not have to serve out her entire five-year sentence. With good behavior, it could be cut in half with parole. Here’s hoping?
Oh, Teen Mom girls. You never cease to amuse … or provide tabloid fodder. Amber Portwood swore she’d learned a lesson after spending time in jail and rehab. You’d think Jenelle Evans would have learned something from pummeling Britany Truett . Farrah Abraham? She’s just trying to “find herself,” don’cha know. One thing they all have in common? Giving up their babies to PAR-TAY!!! Amber’s brother, Shawn Portwood, says that despite her issues, Amber is spending more time out partying than she is reconnecting with her daughter, Leah, 2. “At least three times a week, Amber will go out to bars and clubs,” Shawn says. Amber Portwood was spotted at the 59th Street Pub last month drinking wine, then another time, downing beers at Jimbo’s Pub and Club in Anderson, Ind. “My friends were there [at the 59th Street Pub] and said she drank damn near a whole bottle of white wine,” Anderson local Shane Butt reveals to Life & Style . Yes, they named their source, and his name is Shane Butt. Fantastic. “It seems like rehab didn’t help too much,” adds Butt, helpfully. “Amber could see Leah every day, but she sees her maybe three times a week,” laments Shawn. “I don’t even know if Amber wants full custody of Leah.” “She enjoys her freedom too much right now.” One of her co-stars can relate. Farrah Abraham peaced out on her mom and daughter in the third season finale. Because she had to go to school in Florida. At least Farrah has avoided the pitfalls of some of the other train wrecks. Jenelle Evans lost custody of her son to her mom ages ago, and for good reason. Jenelle has always been one to drink and fight, rather than stay close to Jace at night. She’s probably going to end up in jail again soon. Just give it time. Jenelle Evans Beating Up Girl
