Imagine having Farrah Abraham for a mom. Or, it that thought experiment is too terrifying for a Friday, just take a good long look at the life of Sophia Abraham. Sophia's been in the spotlight literally since the day she was born, and while many hoped she might be able to enjoy a somewhat normal childhood after Farrah got fired from Teen Mom OG , that hasn't turned out to be the case. In fact, the problem of overexposure seems to have gotten worse, as Farrah drags the 10-year-old to red carpet events all over the world, as though Sophia is some sort of a fashion accessory. And now, it seems that fishbowl existence is beginning to have a major impact on the young girl's mindset. Take a look: 1. Like Mother, Like Daughter Very few 10-year-olds spend as much time posing for selfies and attending red carpet events as Sophia Abraham. 2. The Team To be fair, Farrah’s daughter does seem to enjoy all the attention — but that observation comes with two caveats: 3. Too Much, Too Soon For one, even if she likes it, showering a 10-year-old with constant praise and attention from adults — most of them strangers — is probably not a good thing. 4. Farrah’s Version On top of that, the only insight we gain into Sophia’s experience is filtered through Farrah, so naturally, we’re given the impression that she’s living every child’s dream. 5. Sophia’s Choice And so, despite how much time she spends in the public eye, it’s still very difficult to tell exactly what’s going on with Sophia. 6. Learning From the Past But we know from many prior examples that child stars often find it difficult to navigate the road to adolescence. And at least those poor kids didn’t have Farrah freakin’ Abraham for a mother. View Slideshow
Some things just aren’t meant to last forever. Don’t get us wrong, Rachel Lindsay married Bryan Abasolo after a long engagement. But she and Raven Gates had a massive falling out. Now, Colton Underwood is trying his hand at feuding and suggesting that Rachel must just hate everyone . Rachel Lindsay’s falling out with former bestie Raven Gates was pretty conspicuous after Raven missed every stage of Rachel’s wedding. So naturally, when Rachel appeared on Watch What Happens Live this week, fans got all kinds of nosy about it. In fact, Andy reveals that it was the number one question that fans had to ask. They asked her about that more than about her marriage to Bryan or about her thoughts on Peter as the 24th non-black Bachelor in a row . So when it came time to take phoned-in questions, Rachel responded. Rachel responds my shaking her head in chagrin. “What did she do to cause your falling out?” Andy asks. Rachel protests: “I can’t say. I promised I wouldn’t say.” “But,” Rachel offers. “It was enough for me to not want to be friends with her anymore.” “And you’re still not friends with her,” Andy asks for some almost pointless clarification. “No,” Rachel confirms. “Not at all. And I never will be.” Addressing it with Andy only made people more aware of Rachel and Raven’s falling out. For some reason, another member of the Bachelor Fam decided to weigh in. “Shocker,” Colton Underwood wrote on Instagram, his text dripping with sarcasm. “Rachel mad at another person?” his sarcastic comment continued. He then quits marveling in non-surprise and poses a semi-serious question. Colton asks: “Does she like anyone ?!” (Raven and Rachel are both extremely hot, especially in some of the photos in this post, so you’re welcome for balancing it out with Colton) Wait, does Colton have a beef with Rachel? When did that happen? “I’m not weighing in on the Rachel/Raven drama,” Colton clarified. And yet … that seems to be exactly what he chose to do. “I could care less about that,” he emphasized. “Not my business.” He then explains exactly why he decided to pipe up about Rachel being some sort of Negative Nelly. “What is my business,” Colton wrote. “Is the countless number of times she’s spoke poorly of me…” Countless times? It’s good to remember that not every Bachelor Fam conversation goes public. He continued, accusing: “including that time she ran her mouth about me to Cassie…” Oh, yeah, we could understand why he’d be annoyed about that. “Funny thing is,” the previously virginal hunk concluded. “I have never met her.” Naturally, you don’t have to have met someone to have an opinion — even a strong one — about them. That’s sort of what the Bachelor franchise is all about. Sure, the stars look for love, but millions of viewers form opinions. Rachel doesn’t have to meet Colton to decide that he’s, say, not the right man for Cassie to marry. By that same token, Colton doesn’t have to meet Rachel to decide that she’s been uncharitable towards him. Maybe they should hang out and get to know each other. We hear that Rachel is down a friend, anyway. In the mean time, we’ll continue to wonder what in the world Raven could have done for Rachel to permanently excise her from her life.

We’re not sure exactly what’s going on with Aaron Carter these days, but whatever it is, it’s very sad, and very serious. The public became aware of the latest trouble in the singer’s life when his older brother, Nick Carter, filed for a restraining order , claiming that Aaron had threatened to murder both him and his wife, who was pregnant at the time. In an effort to share the news himself before it was reported by the tabloid media Nick took to social media, writing: “After careful consideration, my sister Angel and I regret that we were required to seek a restraining order against our brother Aaron today,” he wrote. “In light of Aaron’s increasingly alarming behavior and his recent confession that he harbors thoughts and intentions of killing my pregnant wife and unborn child, we were left with no choice but to take every measure possible to protect ourselves and our family. “Take care. @nickcarter we’re done for life…I haven’t seen him in four years. And I don’t intend,” Aaron responded. “All I ask is for my family to leave me alone,” he continued. “This is blood. Not love. I will never be around you and I don’t want to be around you … Stop trying to get me 5150’d before I file a harassment suit myself nick I have the $.” The conflict seemed to send Aaron into an often frightening downward spiral. First, he claimed to have been raped by his late sister . Shortly thereafter, he accused Nick of raping a 91-year-old woman . Then, in case there were any remaining doubts about the state of Aaron’s mental health, the 31-year-old revealed a large, garish face tattoo. Not surprisingly, this series of events led to rumors that Aaron is on drugs. And given the very public fashion in which he lives his life, it’s also not surprising that Aaron decided to disprove those rumors by submitting to a urine test on Instagram Live. Unfortunately, he may not have received the results he was hoping for. Aaron Carter Fails Drug Test Seemingly irate about an article published by Radar Online, Aaron captioned the video: “STOP WRITING LIES ABOUT ME AND START THROWING SOME FUCKING RESPECT ON MY NAME! @radaronline,” he wrote. “Your ‘shocking drug’ post about me was desperate and completely misleading to whatever readers you have left these days. proving you idiots wrong will NEVER get old to me. Carter then proceeded to take a drug test he had apparently purchased online and threatened Radar with legal action if the site didn’t delete its original article. In the comments, many fans pointed out that he appeared to test positive for both THC and PCP. While Carter admits to smoking weed, he says fans misinterpreted the results with regard to PCP. “For everybody out there that’s questioning the results, you f–king a–holes,” Aaron said in a second video. This time, he showed a test that was positive only for THC. Obviously many still felt that he had faked the results, but for now, let’s focus on the positive. Nick Carter welcomed a baby girl today just after wife Lauren Kitt suffered a miscarriage. And Aaron was among the first to congratulate the couple on social media: “I’ve been very hurt by the fact that my big brother has not made an effort to be part of my life for a long time. So therefore, I lashed out and said some hurtful things I did not mean to say,” Aaron tweeted. “I love my brother. I love my family, and all I want is peace and love for everybody.” Congratulations to Nick, and here’s hoping the Carters can put all this recent ugliness behind them.

So much for the rumor that Miley Cyrus likes the single life , huh? According to some rather clear photographic evidence, there’s at least one thing this artist likes more than not being tied down by a man or a woman: Cody Simpson’s tongue in her mouth! On Thursday afternoon, Cyrus and Simpson were spotted at a Los Angeles grocery store …where an eyewitness told E! News the stars went inside to grab a drink and some sushi. No big deal, right? But this isn’t all the eyewitness saw: According to this onloooker, the two singers also shared a ” quick kiss ” while perusing their food options. WHOA THERE! Not long after the spit was swapped, the onlooker said Miley, who was “dressed casually in a tank top,” and Cody “noticed people seeing them so they tried to rush out of there.” Sounds like an attempt at a covert romance, doesn’t it? For the record, People Magazine and Us Weekly have also published reports of Simpson and Cyrus making out. These are all reputable celebrity gossip sources. Elsewhere, in a video obtained by TMZ, Simpson and Cyrus are acting affectionate with each other while at Backyard Bowls eatery in Los Angeles on the same day. Based on this website’s account, the two appeared to be having a serious conversation before the “Slide Away” singer moved over to sit on Simpson’s lap and they began kissing. “Miley got up and sat on Cody’s lap and started making out with him,” someone explains to Us Weekly. “His name was called at the counter, and he grabbed his smoothie bowl, and they left together holding hands.” Ooooh . And may we also add: La . La . Miley and Cody have been close for awhile, but not in any romantic sense until now. In a 2015 interview with GQ Australia, Simpson said: “Miley is one of my best friends and she helps with some of that transitional stuff — trying to escape your childhood. She’s super open-minded and I’m working on becoming more like that.” Cyrus, of course, has been in the news often of late due to her romantic interludes. She split from Liam Hemsworth this summer after a decade as a couple, but only eight months as husband and wife. The superstar was then almost immediately spotted getting very cozy with Kaitlynn Cartner, only to wrap up that fling in late September . Miley took extreme defense to chatter at the time that her marriage ended due to infidelity, making it clear on Instagram that she did all she could to make the Hemsworth relationship work. In this case, both Miley are Cody are very much single and free to mingle with each other if so desired. Simpson previously dated model Clair Wuestenberg, but is probably better known for his long term relationship with Gigi Hadid. View Slideshow: 21 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History
Last month, Kim Kardashian revealed that she and Kanye may move to Wyoming . It’s a bit of a shock for a lot of fans. Their new Wyoming neighbors already resent the intrusion , and it turns out that they’re not the only ones who are unhappy. A new report says that Kim effing hates being in Wyoming, and that Kanye’s insistence could spell doom for their marriage. RadarOnline reports that Kim has been grinning and bearing it for Kanye’s sake, but that she’s had enough of Wyoming to last a lifetime. “Kim puts on a brave face for the pictures,” the insider states. “But she absolutely hates it out there in the wilderness,” the source reveals. Admittedly, we are not able to verify this unnamed inside source or this report. But even so, we’re feeling a strong sense of kinship with Kim right now. “She finds the wide open spaces unsettling,” the insder continues. She’s lived in LA for her literal entire life. It’s an isolated feeling. Apparently, Kim also “can’t take to the creatures,” the source shares. The insider points out that Kim is a city girl at heart “and misses the city as soon as she lands.” That makes a lot of sense. “She doesn’t want to spend any more time there than she absolutely has to,” the source says of Kim. “But the problem is that ironically Kanye has never felt more calm than when he’s out in the country,” the insider explains. The source continues: “which is important to him.” The insider details that Kanye values feeling tranquil “given his mental health situation.” Ah. So Kanye looked at one of those stupid landscape photos that read ” this is an antidepressant, not pills” and decided to move there. The reports predicts that this could have long-term ramification for their relationship. “It’s going to be a massive issue for their marriage going forward,” the source predicts for Kimye. The insider concludes: “It’s never been more clear that they’re two very different people.” Honestly, our bigger concern is for their now four children. Children deserve to grow up in civilization. This is especially important for children of color, folks. They don’t have to live in Calabasas, but they should live in a place where there are more humans than cattle. “It is a quiet place,” another source had previously stated about the new Kimye abode, explaining that this move is not welcomed by the locals. The insider continued: “There are some who are upset about the move. Some are apprehensive.” “Because of their notoriety and headlines,” the source explained. “People are scratching their heads.” “People don’t like when you move from out of state and try to change the way the people are around here,” the local expressed. That report concluded: “The residents are down to earth and private.” Wyoming makes up only 0.17%, yes with that decimal, of the United States population. That’s not by accident. Most states have rural areas, but not everyone wants to live in them. (Some of us like to be within a good number of delivery radiuses and consider that a must for any residence) As for Kanye … you don’t need to move states to feel okay, and whatever he’s feeling won’t last. Geography isn’t medicine . Our guess is that a doctor would tell him that he just needs to take his prescription medications like a grownup.

If you’re a fan of Tekashi69 — assuming there are any of you left out there — it may be time to start worrying for your boy’s safety. As you’ve no doubt heard by now, Tekashi offered testimony against two of his former Nine Trey Bloods gang-mates last month. And we probably don’t need to tell you that snitching is not looked kindly upon in the world of organized crime. When Tekashi first took the stand, it was widely assumed that he would enter witness protection upon his release from prison. Now, however, it seems the 23-year-old is planning to carry on with his rap career as though nothing happened. In fact, insiders are claiming that Tekashi recently sold the movie rights for his story to 50 Cent. This may create a problem, of course, as Mr. 69 is likely to be a marked man once he’s set free from federal custody. And there’s a good chance the price on his head just increased exponentially, due to the fact that the two men he testified against — Anthony “Harv” Ellison and Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack have both been found guilty. The two defendants have yet to be sentenced, but both are likely to be locked up for at least the next decade. One of the many crimes Ellison was convicted of was kidnapping Tekashi , so that’s a nice little victory for the embattled rapper. But it comes at a very steep price. In addition to snitching on Ellison and Mack, Tekashi identified Cardi B as a member of the Nine Treys and claimed that rapper Jim Jones put out hits on his rivals on more than one occasion. Tekashi is convinced that the media fascination with his case will prove beneficial to his career — and the crazy part is, he might be right. Whatever the case, there’s no denying that he’s more famous now than when he was first locked up. For better or worse, public interest in the rainbow-haired emcee is at an all-time high. “Y’all could call 69 a rat but all y’all really some bandwagons cuz y’all was snitching too, PERIODTTT Idc I said what I said,” one Twitter user remarked on Thursday. “Tekashi gonna sell even more records after this is done ’ and one other commenter posted this: ‘Y’all can pretend but check this out I’m NOT sitting behind bars after you tried to harm and kidnap me,” another fan tweeted. It remains to be seen whether 69’s new status as a media darling will help him move records. But one thing’s for certain — turning against his former partners in crime will lead to a much lighter sentence. Tekashi is scheduled to be sentenced on January 24, 2020, at 10 a.m. There was a time when it looked as though he might remain behind bars for the rest of his life.’ Thanks to the deal he struck with prosecutors, he’ll likely be released sometime in 2020. We just hope he’s invested in a top-notch security detail.
Another month, another piece of evidence that Tristan Thompson thinks that he’ll win back Khloe if he just acts thirsty enough. This time, he’s being openly horny about Khloe’s body on Instagram. Most of Khloe’s fans are telling him to get lost, while a few seem to be encouraging him. But what does Khloe think? Khloe Kardashian has always been beautiful, but she’s spent a sizable chunk of the past decade making sure thta she’s also hot. She’s obsessed with her fitness routine, and the results really speak for themselves. It’s not unusual for her to be bombarded with thirsty comments on Instagram. That’s what thirst traps are supposed to attract. But one of the horny reply guys caught up in the mix is Tristan Thompson, her disgraced cheater of a baby daddy. Tristan has been barking up her tree, commenting with a pair of fire emojis and the word “Fit.” Khloe’s fans fear that Tristan’s horny-on-main behavior can only mean one thing: the two are hooking up again. “The sad thing is they are probably back together.” one fan laments. Another chimes in, writing: “I think so too. He wouldn’t be commenting so often.” “I really hope she’s smarter than this,” another expresses. That same fan adds: “But if not I then I won’t feel sorry for her when he screws her over next time. She deserves better than him.” Others didn’t give in to despair and instead accessed their anger at Tristan and really let him have it. “Just Stop,” one follower demands of the professional athlete. “I see what you’re doing here weasel.” another vehemently accuses. “You better leave her be,” insists another. “She looks great…without you in the pic.” Another fans imply declared that Tristan is a “Thirsty MF.” If you can imagine, there are people out in this hellworld who are actually encouraging Tristan to do even more to win back Khloe. “So are you going to ask her out or what?” one Instagram user, who presumably just hates Khloe, asks. “Go get your girl back! Love wins!” another declares absurdly. “Nothing happens overnight,” “Get your girl back,” another comments. Which one? “IDK why but I think Khloe still loves Tristan,” yet another speculates. Whether Khloe still loves Tristan on some level is almost irrelevant at this point. What matters is whether she knows better. We hope that the answer is yes. It wasn’t enough for Tristan to very publicly cheat on Khloe with multiple women while she was pregnant. The scandal broke the day before she went into labor with True. No, he had to not only worm his way back into her life, but then cheat on her again, acting as if a few months of playing Mister Good Guy was enough. Is Tristan really tring to get back with Khloe? Maybe. He doesn’t seem like a person who understands what he wants. He’s rich, famous, and crazy hot. If he wants a harem, or simply a wife who doesn’t give a flip if he cheats, he can have those things. But he can’t have Khloe and still cheat. He just can’t. And as horny for Khloe as he is right now, if she took him back again, he’d once again find his eyes — and penis — straying to other gals.

Diahann Carroll, an iconic actress who became the first African-American actress to ever lead a broadcast television series, died Friday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 84 years old. The star — who won a Tony Award, garnered an Oscar nomination and made television history with her turns on Julia and Dynasty — had been diagnosed with breast cancer way back in 1997. Her daughter, producer/journalist Suzanne Kay, confirmed the news of her mother’s passing from this disease to The Hollywood Reporter. A native of the Bronx, Carroll was her Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for 1962’s “No Strings.” Her historic break, however, came six years later when she was cast as the first black actress to lead a network series, anchoring NBC’s “Julia” for three seasons. She earned the aforementioned Emmy nod, along with a Golden Globe victory, for this role of a widowed nurse raising a young son. Despite the acclaim she received as a result of this turn, Carroll said years ago that she didn’t want to do it at first. “I really didn’t believe that this was a show that was going to work,” she said in a 1998 chat for the website The Interviews: An Oral History of Television, adding at the time: “I thought it was something that was going to leave someone’s consciousness in a very short period of time. I thought, ‘Let them go elsewhere.'” Respected and admired for opening doors and eyes in Hollywood, Carroll went on to enjoy major roles in classic programs such as “Dynasty,” its spinoff, “The Colbys” and “A Different World.” She also appeared on five epidoes of Grey’s Anatomy in 2006. Other more recent small screen gigs includes recurring roles on Diary of a Single Mom and White Collar. She was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2011… but she was more than just an actress. Carroll also recorded mumerous albums during her career and wrote the memoirs Diahann, published in 1986, and The Legs Are the Last to Go: Aging, Acting, Marrying, Mothering and Other Things I Learned Along the Way, in 2008. Diahann Carroll is pictured here in her groundbreaking role of Julia Baker. The veteran actress was married four times, her last husband being singer Vic Damone. The couple divorced in 1996 — and she also famously dated talk show host David Frost for several years. She is survived by her daughter and two grandchildren. May Diahann Carroll rest in peace.
