Amber Portwood has done some terrible things, and that's just a fact. We've seen her abuse Gary Shirley, and we've seen her neglect her daughter, Leah, when she was younger. We've certainly seen the toxic mess that was her relationship with Matt Baier. But now that she's currently in the middle of both a criminal case and a custody case stemming from her alleged assault of Andrew Glennon in July, even more things are coming out about her. And it's really, truly not looking good for her. 1. Such a Mess It seems like every single day, the situation with Amber Portwood gets worse. 2. Well … And honestly, that’s because it kind of does. 3. Goodness Gracious It’s been two months now since The Incident, and more and more details are coming out, and she keeps getting more and more open about her thoughts and feelings about everything, and it’s just not great for anyone. 4. The Incident So just in case you forgot, Amber was arrested on the morning of July 5th after assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon and allegedly chasing him with a machete while he was holding their son, James. 5. Naturally According to Andrew’s story, she was upset because they weren’t able to go see fireworks the day before, and she’d been raging for hours about it. 6. Yikes She beat him with a shoe, which she admitted to doing, and police have photos of bruises and scratches from that, and he even claimed that she attempted suicide by taking a handful of pills that she later threw up after he threatened to call the police.

Demi Lovato took a very bold step this week. And it’s looking like it may soon pay off… … in the form of a red hot boning session with one of America’s most elgible bachelors. As detailed just a short while ago on The Hollywood Gossip, Lovato posted an unedited bikini photo to her Instagram page on Thursday, proudly showing off all her curves for the world to see. “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!!” the artist wrote as a caption to this image. Lovato, who has battled substance and self-esteem issues for many years, added: “I just literally sooooo tired of being ashamed of my body, editing it (yes the other bikini pics were edited – and I hate that I did that but it’s the truth) so that others think I’m THEIR idea of what beautiful is, but it’s just not me.” Here’s the picture in question: Lovato has received very positive feedback from various celebrities and social media users in response to this snapshot. But the voice of one stud muffin has stood out in particular. “Look at me like that again,” Mike Johnson wrote in Demi’s comments section. “Love yaself.” Johnson, for those unaware, was a contestant on the most recent season of The Bachelorette. He quickly emerged as a fan favorite — with Lovato herself leading the very public charge of affection over Milke. After Mike was rejected by Hannah Brown this summer, he jokingly asked about the whereabouts of his future wife on Twitter, to which Lovato replied: I’M RIGHT HERE MIKE I’M RIGHT HERE BOO MY MOM ALREADY LOVES YOU TOO. She also told Johnson that would would gladly “accept” his “rose.” Since this amazing exchange, rumors have swirled about Mike becoming the next Bachelor. This, tragically, appears as if it will NOT be the cas e… which is wonderful news for all Demi and Mike ‘shippers out there. “I would definitely take her out for an initial date, yeah. 100% not scared about it at all,” Mike told Us Weekly several weeks ago when asked about Lovato, hilariously adding: “I would be like, ‘Oh My God! Girl, come here.” He later told People Magazine: “She would definitely be cool to reach out to, but neither one of us have reached out to each other. “I think she’s sexy, she’s got a nice little booty on her and she has good voice.” She also has an admirable point of view on life. This is how Lovato concluded the caption to the unedited bikini photo above: This is what I got. I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards. So here’s me, unashamed, unafraid and proud to own a body that has fought through so much and will continue to amaze me when I hopefully give birth one day. It’s such a great feeling to be back in tv/film while not stressing myself with a strenuous workout schedule before 14 hour days, or depriving myself from a real birthday cake rather than opting for watermelon & whip cream with candles because I was terrified of REAL cake and was miserable on some crazy diet shit. Anyway, here’s me. RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too! Now back to the studio.. I’m working on an anthem. also. Just so everyone’s clear.. I’m not stoked on my appearance BUT I am appreciative of it and sometimes that’s the best I can do. I hope to inspire someone to appreciate their body today too.

Last month, fans saw that Colt Johnson and his girlfriend seemed to be talking about marriage — or, at least, open to discussing it. Now, things are looking much more serious than just a discussion. Colt is in the market to buy a ring, and he’s not even being subtle about it. Colt Johnson adn Jess Caroline haven’t made things Instagram Official just yet. But they’ve both made it very clear that they’re happily dating — months into a relationship that no one thought would last past the first date. Jess’ Instagram is private and she even showed some semi-public display of affection recently. (We have that photo for you below) And Colt? Well, he leaves brazen comments on her (private) Instagram, making no effort to hide their relationship. Oh, and he’s looking to put a ring on it. “Looking for someone that makes jewelry,” Colt recently wrote in his Instagrami Stories. He continued, imploring any followers with a recommendation to “DM me please.” Alongside his request, Coltee included sketches — concept art — for a ring. It’s not just that he wants to buy a ring. He very clearly wants his followers in a tizzy over whether he’s about to propose to Jess. And he’s getting his wish. We hope that this ring, should Colt get it made and give ti to Jess, will meet a better fate than the ring Colt gave to Larissa when they married. His relationship with The Queen was volatile and deeply toxic for both parties. During a moment of emotional distress after a fight, Larissa actually flushed her ring. She later exposed the ring’s price, feeling slighted that (the notoriously cheap) Coltee had bought the ring on Etsy for a modest price. It looks like Colt is once again choosing a “unique” ring instead of a pricier option. Maybe Jess will appreciate it more. As we mentioned, Jess shared this image — of Colt’s hand on her thigh — on her private Instagram. “To love is to go hand in hand through this strange and magical maze that is life,” Jess reflected in her captions. She continued to approximately quote an existing poem: “It is not to lose sight of the other, but to let him breathe when needed.” “It is facing the fear of the abyss, of truth, of doubt, of certainty,” Jess wrote. She added: “It is embracing tight to cure pain, sadness, failure.” “It is giving a silly and innocent smile in the middle of the day,” Jess concluded. “Simply by knowing that the other exists” A number of fans have expressed surprise that Colt’s other half, his mother, Debbie, seems to be okay with this relationship. We guess that not having Colt’s new lady love move in the day they meet probably helps her get adjusted to the idea. And she may be supporting Colt’s romance with Jess because, at this point, she’ll root for anyone who isn’t Larissa Lima. Will Colt’s eventual marriage to Jess be the milestone that ultimately severs his metaphorical umbilical cord for good? Only time will tell. For now, he still hasn’t popped the question.

Amber Portwood is not going down without a fight. Hmmm… okay, fair enough: That may not be the best phrase to use when it comes to this troubled Teen Mom OG star. But the general point remains: Portwood is doing everything she can to remain close to her son. As previously reported, Andrew Glennon has filed a legal motion to take the estranged couple’s one-year old son to California. He seemingly wants to move halfway across the country with little James, likely to try and start over after Amber was arrested on July for felony assault. According to Glennon and the police report from that incident, Portwood attacked both her boyfriend and even her baby (indirectly, but still) with a shoe and then with a machete. For a rundown of all the evidence against Amber, click below: View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: What’s the Evidence Against Her? Now, however, Portwood has filed her own motion in response to that of Glennon. She wants to legally ban him from residing in California with James. “Mother objects to the relocation and believes that it is not in the best interest of the child to relocate to California,” the court papers read. They continue: “Mother requests that Father’s Notice of Intent to Relocate be denied. Mother is requesting that the court enter an order preventing the relocation of the child.” Andrew has alleged that his employment and family are in California, and that he has no ties to Indiana, but Portwood counters this claim as follows: “Father has previously been employed as a day trader which can be done from any location,” adding that Glennon’s basis for his desired move is “disingenous.” There’s also no proposal in Glennon’s official filing for just how he and Amber would co-parent from afar. This is likely because Glennon thinks Amber hates being a mom and is a terrible mom and probably shouldn’t really be an active mom at all. As things stand right now, Glennon has custody of James and Amber is only permitted to see the toddler under the supervision of a court-approved adult. It looks like she may see her son soon, though, because Portwood shared the above photo four days ago and wrote as a caption to it: Love you and see you soon little bubba. Earlier this week, as part of a Teen Mom reunion special, Portwood denied allegations that she used a machete back in July, trashing Glennon for being downright insane . But Andrew then fired back with some very personal and revealing allegations. In a social media rant just yesterday, Glennon told followers about the “the landslide of abuse that I had to endure the past entire year.” “It changed me,” continued Glennon painfully. “She broke me down psychologically. I became more silent, I hesitated before speaking, what she did literally altered my speech pattern. I needed to be prescribed medication for anxiety which I have never had in my life… “I’m not going to be silent until your dust settles. I’ve been silent for too long. The abuse has gone on for far too long.” YIKES, huh? Read all Andrew has to say on this topic below: View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Details Amber Portwood Abuse, Claims She’s Back on Drugs
Grey's Anatomy Season 16 will kick off on September 26 on ABC — and, based on the official trailer featured here, the premiere will aim to answer two key questions: What is Meredith doing picking up garage? Is Jackson alive?!? Viewers do basically know the reasoning behind that first query, of course. Meredith, Alex and Richard were all fired to close out Season 15 and Meredith will be performing her court-mandated community service when we see her again this fall. Hence the tagline orange is the new grey that flashes across the screen of this preview. Later in this sneak peek, Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is seen telling other employees that Meredith, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and Richard Weber (James Pickens Jr.) no longer work at the hospital due to “criminal activity.” The reactions are priceless. Will Meredith end up working as a doctor once again in the near future? We'd have to imagine. But we're very curious just how she gets her old job back. Elsewhere, the intense promo also portends an ominous outcome to the Disappearance of Jackson Avery. Where is he? Could he actually be dead and gone? It's conceivable, considering the history of this show and how it's unafraid to kill off a series regular. But, SPOILER ALERT, Jesse Williams recently re-upped with the series for two more years. So we think everything is gonna end up being okay for Jackson. He'll survive, at the very least. Showrunner Krista Vernoff previously told TV Line that this wildly anticipated premiere will pick “moments from where we left off” in the Season 15 finale, with “all of the lingering” cliffhangers being addressed “pretty immediately.” That is, Meredith, Richard and Alex receiving pink slips… DeLuca wearing a prison jumpsuit … and Jackson vanishing into thin air/thick fog. Shortly thereafter, however, the episode “will span a little bit of time over the course of the hour.” Color us intrigued. Check out the slideshow above if you're in the mood for a few Grey's Anatomy spoilers and remember: The beloved drama returns on Thursday, September 26 at 8/7c on ABC. Check out this fun teaser now!
Things just keep getting worse for Todd Chrisley and family. In August, it was revealed that Chrisley has been indicted for tax evasion and faces up to 30 years in prison. Chrisley pled not guilty and is currently gearing up for the legal battle of his lifetime. Meanwhile, all around him, his personal life is crumbling as fans learn that the wholesome domestic life Chrisley presented on his reality show was nothing but a facade. In addition to the shocking revelation that Lindsie Chrisley was extorted by her father over a sex tape she made years prior, there’s been a great deal of concern for Kyle Chrisley, who, until recently was estranged from his father. Last week, Kyle was hospitalized , and his father took to Instagram to assure fans that all was well. “NOT TODAY SATAN, NOT TODAY… God shows up and shows out, now won’t he do it?” Chrisley captioned the above photo. “Kyle is great and we are back to the grind ..” he added. Todd didn’t offer any specifics as to the cause of Kyle’s hospitalization, but a family spokesperson claimed he experienced a bad reaction to prescribed medications. “He had an adverse reaction to his medication, but as you can see from the photo his father posted on Instagram, he is doing great,” read the official statement. As it turns out, the situation was a bit more complicated than that. Kyle appeared on his family’s podcast this week and revealed that he had been hospitalized after attempting to take his own life. To be fair, the spokesperson wasn’t lying, exactly, as Kyle says the suicide attempt was a result of a bad reaction to his psych meds: “I take medication and I had a bad side effect to it and I tried to take my own life” Kyle said. “With the meds, I got all kinds of crazy thinking going on.” It’s been a hard road for Kyle, who was arrested for possession of methamphetamine back in May. After years of estrangement, however, Kyle now says he has reconciled with his father and believes Todd is innocent of the charges against him. “I’m telling you now, with a clear mind, my mom and dad have done nothing wrong! Today, I am sober. I am working, and I am at a good place in my life,” Kyle recently wrote on Facebook. The comment stands in sharp contrast to a 2018 Good Morning America interview, in which Kyle stated that his father boasts about not paying taxes. As for Todd’s view of his legal future, insiders tell Radar Online that the reality star believes he will be cleared of all charges. “Todd truly believes that he is going to get out of all these charges and walk away with a slap on the wrist” a source tells the site. “He has convinced his children that this is the case, and his wife too.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Just a little over two years ago, Zooey Deschanel welcomed baby #2 — now a precious little toddler named Charlie Wolf. She and Jacob Pechenik have been married for four years. Now, the pair of them have split and released a statement. On Friday afternoon, Zooey Deschanel and Jacob Pechenik released a statement to Us Weekly . “After much discussion and a long period of contemplation,” the solemn and very formal statement begins. “We have decided,” they share, that “we are better off as friends, business partners, and co-parents.” “Rather than life partners,” Zooey and Jacob continue. This statement comes from them, but it reads exactly like what a publicist would write. Which may be what happened. Zooey and Jacob may be going their separate ways, but they don’t want anyone getting the idea that this is less than amicable. They’re still a team — but no longer a union. The statement affirms: “We remain committed to our business, our values, and most of all our children.” “Thank you for respecting our privacy at this time,” they conclude. That is a bit of a surprise. Some famous couples break up after weeks or months of rumors. Some split without warning. In 2008, Zooey became engaged to Death Cab For Cutie lead vocalist Ben Gabbard. The two married on September 19, 2009. However, it was not meant to last. On November 1, 2011, they went public with their separation. It wasn’t even two months later that Zooey filed for divorce. The December 27, 2011 filing cited “irreconcilable differences,” which is just legal speak for “nobody tried to kill the other but we’re done being married.” It was nearly a year before that divorce was finalized. Divorce is just a miserable process. Zooey and Jacob began publicly dating in August of 2014. At first, he almost seemed like a rebound for her after her breakup with writer Jamie Linden. On January 17, Jacob proposed to Zooey — and she said yes. This came just days after the couple had announced Zooey’s pregnancy. The 17 is also Zooey’s birthday, making it extra special … and easier to remember for her future husband. (A very pragmatic choice!) The two were married in private (and in secret) in August of 2015. Their daughter, Elsie Otter, was born in July of 2015. Just about two years later, in May of 2017, their son, Charlie Wolf, was welcomed into the world. Elsie is four years old. Charlie is two years old. Zooey also converted to Judaism — Jacob’s religion. Some fans are already clamoring to know if she’ll stick with her soon-to-be-ex husband’s faith, but we recommend giving her some breathing room. This is not Zooey’s first divorce, but divorcing when you share two children is a huge deal. Even when a divorce is totally amicable, deciding upon custody matters can tug at each parent’s heartstrings. Things can get contentious. And let’s not forget that even the most amicable divorces can sometimes turn acrimonious very quickly. Kids are a big deal. Money is a big deal. And sometime the human mind doesn’t know how to feel about someone you once loved unless it’s to hate them. We wish the entire family the best of luck with this difficult transition.

Back on January 15, Mike Sorrentino turned himself over to authorities to begin serving an eight-month sentence for tax evasion. At the time of his conviction, Mike’s loved ones were vocal in their belief felt that the judge in his case had decided to “make an example” of the Jersey Shore star by doling out an unusually harsh punishment. Now, many feel prison authorities are doing the same by holding Sorrentino for the entirety of his sentence, which is unusual for well-behaved, first-time offenders, particularly in cases of non-violent crimes. (While it’s true that federal convicts generally serve a greater portion of their sentence than those convicted of state offenses, legal experts expected the 37-year-old to be released in early August.) Whatever the reason, Mike has served the vast majority of his sentence. But now, the darkest chapter of his life is soon to come to an end, and insiders say he’s gearing to be released as early as this weekend. And naturally, his family, friends, and Shore housemates will be on hand for a party in the Sitch’s honor. “Everyone’s planning on seeing him right away and there’s a big celebration being planned for when he gets out with all of his family and friends,” one insider tells Hollywood Life. Of course, no one has missed Mike more than his wife, Lauren Pesce. Sorrentino and Pesce were married in November but only got to enjoy a few weeks of married life before he was forced to begin his sentence. “Lauren is so excited to have Mike back with her full-time,” says the source. “She’s missed him terribly, but has been doing great. They’ve both been doing the best they can while Mike is away,” the insider adds. “The couple plans to spend a lot of time together and just be with one another since they had to be apart right after getting married.” Though he was locked up while the episode was filming, Mike made a phone cameo on Thursday night’s episode of Jersey Shore . He promised Lauren that they would get down to the business of making “a million babies” when he gets released, and it seems that’s still the plan. “They absolutely want to have a baby sooner rather than later,” says the source. Insiders say Mike will be released during the day, and after a 24-hour period of “supervised release,” he’ll take up residence in a halfway house. While Sorrentino has never denied committing the crimes of which he was accused, he’s paid his debt to society, and his transformation over the past two years has been truly remarkable to witness. We wish him all the best in his new life as a free man. View Slideshow: Mike Sorrentino in Prison: Star’s Sad Farewell to Freedom, New Life Behind Bars, Conjugal Visit “Situation” Revealed [UPDATED]
Very sad news today out of the reality television universe: Chris March, a popular contestant who competed on Season 4 of Project Runway, died on Thursday of a heart attack. He was 56 years old. Bravo personality and producer Andy Cohen mourned the loss of March in a heartfelt Instagram post, which read a follows: “This is how I’m going to remember Chris March, dressed as Lisa Vanderpump as I wear a Giggy costume he made for one of our first Halloween specials. Chris was a finalist on Season 4 of Project Runway. He designed for everyone from Beyoncé, Gaga, Madonna, Meryl, Prince and many legendary downtown drag queens (And Sonja Morgan!). He had a big booming laugh; he was a joy and delight. #RIP. According to TMZ, which broke this tragic news, March had been in and out of the hospital for the past year or so. He had been battling some pretty serious health problems — and yet the fatal heart attack came as a surprise to his doctors and loved ones. He was even designing dresses all the way up until the end. Along with making it to the finals on Season 4, March also appeared on Project Runway All Stars and had his own show on Bravo called “Mad Fashion.” Moreover, he made cameos on The Real Housewives of New York City, helping find elaborate costumes for Sonja Morgan. In 2017, March suffered an almost-fatal fall in his apartment that left him in a coma for the subsequent two months. A GoFundMe was launched on the reality star’s behalf to help offset the monetary challenges of his ongoing medical treatments. After this hospitalization, March entered a nursing facility. “I came close to death many times — they called my family and they were told if they wanted to say goodbye to come right away,” he said of the major mishap. Throughout his impressive career, March designed for Madonna, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Coolidge, Beyonce and Meryl Streep. He was responsible for the latter’s 2010 Golden Globe and Oscars ensembles. Just a few months ago, March shared an update on his health, revealing he had “run into several setbacks in my recovery.” As he described on the GoFundMe: “I am also in need of leg braces, specialized physical therapy, a hearing aid, and a new living arrangement. “Where I am now is unbearable and makes me anxious and depressed every day. I have considered suicide many times. I have tried my best to make strides.” March’s supporters raised nearly $60,000 of his $100,000 goal after his accident. We send our condolences to Chris March’s friends, family members and loved ones. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: The Most Shocking Reality Star Deaths: Gone, But Not Forgotten
Flip or Flop? How about neither? How about… celebrate! Christina Anstead and her husband, Ant, now have a reason to be doing exactly that, as they just welcomed their first child into the universe together. “Ant and I are so excited to welcome Hudson London Anstead into the world,” Christina wrote today on Instagram, adding in further detail: “Our hearts are SO full of love and joy! Our healthy baby boy was born this morning- 9/6/19 – 7 lbs 7 oz 19.5 inches long.” Added the very excited new father: “Welcome to the world! Hudson London Anstead I am in awe! Mummy and baby are simply perfect!” Here is our very first look at the precious newborn and his parents: The baby boy is the couple’s first child as a, well, couple. Christina, who still hosts an HGTV show with her ex-husband, shares son Brayden James, 4, and daughter Taylor Reese, 9 this month, with Tarek El Moussa. Ant is also a father to son Archie, 13, and daughter Amelie, 16 this month, with his ex Louise. That’s quite the large and busy household! Christina and Ant got married in December of 2018. They confirmed that they had a little one on the way three months later. “@ant_anstead and I are so excited to announce #babyanstead coming this September,” the California native wrote alongside a PDA pic on Instagram in March, adding: “The kids are all so excited to meet their new sibling #5 #Gonnaneedabiggercar.” Christina and Tarek seemed like the perfect couple for years as the hosts of Flip or Flop. However, they announced their separation in December of 2016 after a bizarre incident in which the stars got into an argument and then Christina called the cops because Tarek went into the woods with a gun . The situation was eventually resolved (Tarek said he was simply afraid of wild animals) and the pair eventually finalized their divorce. Ever since, Christina and Tarek have been very respectful of each other in public, never insulting the other one and always emphasizing that their children came first. And now Christina has a third child to prioritize. “It’s so amazing that we get to raise a child together,” she told People Magazine earlier this summer. “All of the kids are so excited. I love all the fun chaos and a full house. I always thought I would only have two, and now I’ll have five! For his part, El Moussa actually spilled the baby beans again on Thursday, September 5, when he told Us Weekly his ex-wife’s due date: “She’s having the baby tomorrow, so I’m excited for her. Tomorrow my children are going to have a new brother. It’s all one big family!” How mature and responsible, right? Congrats to the parents!
