Many Teen Mom OG fans are expressing concern on social media today in response to news that Catelynn Lowell will be checking back into rehab to seek further treatment for trauma and other emotional issues. But perhaps they shouldn’t be worried. After all, Catelynn doesn’t seem to be. Don’t get us wrong–we’re sure she’s sad to once again be parting ways with her daughter and husband for an extended period of time. But she also appears to appreciate this development for what it is–a chance to find a treatment plan that will work for her long-term, and allow her to be the best wife, mother, and entrepreneur she can be. “Well they say third time’s a charm,” Lowell tweeted. “I’m going back to treatment people for 6 weeks to work on my trauma and getting on different meds.” Addressing her husband, Tyler Baltierra, Catelynn added: “THANK YOU @TylerBaltierra I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You are my light!! And nova you are my sunshine #KeepTalkingMH.” The hashtag is part of a social media movement to encourage productive conversation about the challenges and stigmas surrounding mental illness. Shortly after her message was posted, Catelynn re-tweeted her TMOG co-star Amber Portwood, who wrote: “Sometimes it takes a strong man to pick up a broken woman.” Lowell checked into rehab back on November 17 after revealing to her Twitter followers that she had been struggling with suicidal thoughts. “I’m taking the time I need right now to take good care of myself,” she told Radar Online at the time. “On November 17, I thought of every way possible to commit suicide, from wrapping a belt around my neck to just running my car into an electric pole.” Catelynn left the facility on December 29 after six weeks of treatment. She left rehab with an extensive plan to maintain her mental health, informing her social media followers that she had quit drinking and using drugs , and would be pursuing a proactive treatment program. “She’s going to be doing their regular therapy, couple’s therapy and outpatient,” said a source close to Lowell. Of course, as anyone who’s ever struggled with mental health knows, recovery is rarely a straight path. We wish Catelynn all the best and hope that she’s able to find the help she needs.

According to a recent report, Kim Kardashian has fallen in love with a possible name for her third child. We mean this more or less literally. Kardashian supposedly likes the name “Love” for baby number-three. Or does she? The reality star shared a mysterious Instagram photo on Wednesday that has caused many followers to assume she and Kanye have selected a name for their new daughter. What, exactly, is the name? Well… no one knows for certain. But many theories are now abounding around the Internet as a result of the image below. The 37-year old Keeping Up with the Kardashians actress posted a seemingly simple Louis Vuitton monogram on her wildly popular account, prompting many users to think her daughter’s name was inspired by the fashion house. First, let’s take a look at the photo in question: Kardashian did not include a caption with the posting. She could have simply been referencing her affection for the brand, but that possibility hasn’t slowed down massive World Wide Web speculation. Among the guesses fans have tossed around since this monogram went viral? “Elle V West,” “LV West” and “Louis West.” Do these options sound sort of absurd for a child’s name? Yes. But Kim and Kanye named their first kid North and their second kid Saint. So, really, nothing is off the table at this point. It’s also worth noting that West has included many Louis Vuitton references in his music, including in tracks such as“Stronger,” “Runaway Love,” “Gold Digger,” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” “The Glory” and “Pinocchio Story.” He is sometimes called Louis Vuitton Don for a reason. The couple known as Kimye welcomed a girl into the world via surrogate on Monday. Multiple reports have confirmed that Kardashian was in the room for the birth, which she did not go through with herself due to a serious medical condition. Wrote the former sex tape star as confirmation of the blessed event: “Kanye and I are happy to announce the arrival of our healthy, beautiful baby girl.” She added: “We are incredibly grateful to our surrogate who made our dreams come true with the greatest gift one could give and to our wonderful doctors and nurses for their special care.” Now that Kim is a mother of three, some are wondering just how long she’ll continue on with her reality television career. Others, conversely, figure this new arrival simply gives her ample fodder for many more years of E! episodes. In the end, of course, no one knows for sure. Kardashian herself may not even know… or care very much at the moment. She now has three kids at home under the age of five and may very well have more important things on her mind, such as sleep and sanity. Until she reveals the name herself, we’ll take all rumors with a grain of salt the size of Kim’s boobs and we’ll simply say the following: Congrats, Kim and Kanye!!!!!!

When you have a group as divided as the one on The Real Housewives of New Jersey, it’s difficult to imagine what will happen at the reunion. On The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 14 , Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Siggy Flicker, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs and Danielle Staub assembled to break down their thoughts on the tumultuous season of drama. As always, it all seemed friendly when the episode kicked off, and Margaret was quick to reveal that Joe’s kids watch the show, but they still do not want anything to do with her. You could tell that was difficult for her, but the whole situation for her seemed bizarre because, well, she left the father of the children and expected them to continue as though everything was normal. “The only genuine thing you’ve said to me this season is that you are trying to destroy me,” Margaret said to Siggy with a wealthy dose of side-eye, but Siggy continued to act like Margaret was out to her. Margaret did admit that both of them were as bad as each other, but Siggy continued to act like she was the main attraction of the cast and that Margaret was nothing more than a vile peasant. Margaret defended her stance about Soggy gate. She said it was about Siggy’s behavior and not to trash her medical condition. Andy chimed in, saying that Siggy was selling merchandise the “Soggy” at her retreat. Siggy countered that she turns negatives into positives. We think the more probable cause is she turns anything into a profit. Margaret closed off her trash talk of Siggy by saying that her blaming her erratic behavior on menopause was “victimizing.” In the most random topic change ever, Siggy yelled at Margaret that her husband shot a bear like “Elmer Fudd.” The conversation switched to whether there would be changes for Teresa and Joe when they get to get back together. “I guess when he comes home, he has a lot of making up to do. I was hurt, and a lot of anger came out,” she said. However, Andy questioned whether Teresa would move to Italy with Joe if he was deported and she said the following: “Whatever God has planned for me, that’s what will happen,” she declared. Yeah, there was something off about it. Maybe the rumors about Teresa having a new man are correct. Andy then quizzed the ladies about the great big cake fight that kicked off the season. Melissa was mad that Siggy ridiculed her multiple times about it, and felt like she needed to dial it back. “It was humiliating. I was embarrassed,” Melissa said while glaring at Siggy. Tensions took a turn for the worse when Kim D was introduced to the stage. “I guess they let the animal out of the cage,” Teresa snapped before adding, ” “I thought this was The Real Housewives of New Jersey, not Tales from the Crypt.” Andy told Teresa not to move off the couch. Teresa wanted to slap Kim D around the stage. Let’s face it, Kim has been vile to everyone. What did you think of the drama?

The ladies continued their trip to Milan on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 10 , and it set the stage for one of the biggest bust-ups in the history of the entire series. When the episode got underway, the ladies made their way to Italy, and everyone seemed to think it was all about Margaret and Melissa’s business trip. Here’s the thing: The business trip lasted all of two minutes, with Melissa and Marge going to a showroom. Melissa ordered two of everything and reiterated that one was for her and the other was for the store. Who says you can’t mix business with pleasure? Margaret does seem to know what she’s talking about as far as the fashion world is concerned. Melissa could do with some tips to get her store off the ground and bring some new trends to New Jersey. Her store is a bit bland right now, and there never seems to be many customers. While all of the ladies were still reeling from what happened on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 8 Episode 9 , they decided to let bygones be bygones in the name of drinking excessive amounts of alcohol in the fashion capital of the world. When they met up in a restaurant for some fine dining, the Hitler comments came up and they did not go down well. With Margaret, she was looking out for her pals when Siggy went crazy at her. While her analogy about Hitler was out there, Siggy chose to take it to heart, and that’s what happens when you’re one of the most emotional people in the world. “The first time Margaret referenced Hitler, I was in such a shock I couldn’t speak,” Siggy Flicker revealed to audiences on Wednesday’s episode. “So it’s hard to enjoy Italy because the more I think about it, I get more hurt and more angry, and I hit my breaking point.” “Margaret will always go below the belt to hurt me. The fact that she would say Hilter’s name when she knows I’m a super Jew? My father’s a Holocaust survivor. What kind of person has Hitler on their mind?” “I want to call Margaret out about how insensitive it was to reference Hilter when we were talking about a fashion show!” Siggy then started arguing with Margaret at the dinner table. “In our lives, there are going to be people who don’t like me and vice versa,” Flicker said. “I’m going to use Margaret as an example. Just recently, for us to be in an argument and all of a sudden for her to use Hitler as a comparison — it’s inappropriate. Can you guys admit it?” “Unless we’re discussing the Holocaust, Hitler’s name should not come up,” Flicker continued. “I am the daughter of a Holocaust survivor. It’s inappropriate!” Margaret was understandably taken aback and defended herself in the elegant way we would expect her to. “I said, ‘Hitler would have been good to me, does that make him a good person?’ ” she recalled. “Kim D’s only goal in life is to destroy Teresa and Melissa. She’s f——- evil. And how are you supposed to make analogies about evil people if you can’t use the evil peoples’ names!” Margaret then said that she has various family members who are Jewish and that she was not the person Siggy was making her out to be. “Honey, I know many people who married Jews who can’t stand Jews,” Flicker responded. “You’re anti-Semitic!” “How dare you say I can’t stand Jews!” Josephs yelled. “To call me anti-Semitic, that’s a f—ing bulls— move… Do you think this is acceptable?” Siggy was defiant and refused to apologize. That’s when Danielle went crazy after being dismissed by Siggy. She threw water at her and tried to move a chair to get to her. Siggy was not one to back down, either, but the whole fight was brought to a halt because the ladies were thrown out of the restaurant. Stay classy, you guys.

Siggy did understand that what she did to Danielle was wrong, and apologized. Danielle accepted the apology, but it seems like a matter of time before Danielle doles out some revenge. While the others were out, Dolores and Margaret got into a heated exchange about what happened. “I do not think you’re anti-Semitic, but I think you’re anti-Siggy,” Dolores claimed. “This is what started the fight in the first place. You decided to make a point about something you don’t really know the dynamics of. [It was] not necessary [and] in poor taste. I might have said the same thing to you if I was Siggy. Probably worse, in fact.” “If she would have just said, ‘Margaret, I feel like you said that purposely to hurt me,’ I would have said, ‘I would have never said that purposely to hurt you,’” Margaret replied. “[Siggy] just said that to be f—— vicious. She feels insecure, she has to call people names and take pot-shots. I’m f—— done with her. She’s a nut bar,” Josephs yelled. “I don’t think there’s anything more viral than assassinating someone’s character. This has gone from a spat to an all-out war.” Siggy later announced her decision to quit the trip and head home. Yes, she’s out! What did you think of the episode? Sound off below!
