Amber Portwood: In Recovery from Plastic Sugery!

Remember how, just a couple of weeks ago, Amber Portwood revealed that she was considering getting some plastic surgery ? She tweeted “After losing weight I think it’s time to get my body back to where it should be. Mommy makeover is on my mind. We’ll see.” She makes “mommy makeover” sound like a patented plastic surgery procedure, and it turns out it actually kind of is. If you’re not familiar, one of those mommy makeovers usually entails a surgeon doing something with the breasts, a lift or an augmentation, and a tummy tuck, and sometimes liposuction is done as well. It’s meant to correct all those fun changes that happen to a woman’s body during and after pregnancy — changes that some women aren’t comfortable with. And, as it turns out, Amber isn’t comfortable. Or at least she wasn’t … She might be feeling differently about her body soon enough though, because just earlier today she tweeted that she’s in recovery after getting the plastic surgery. “Had my mommy makeover and I’m now in recovery,” she said. “If you want your post mommy body back or you’ve lost a lot of weight then I would recommend it. And thanks for all the love and support. I truly appreciate it. Sending all my love.” So … wow. It all seems kind of sudden, but when you consider things, perhaps it’s not. After all, many women who undergo these mommy makeovers work at losing the baby weight first, which obviously is not always an easy task. It’s clear that Amber’s worked hard at her weight loss , and it’s undeniable that she looks amazing these days . And hey, if the big changes her body has gone through leaves her with some features that she doesn’t feel comfortable with, then more power to her for doing something to change that. This mommy makeover sounds like a far cry from Farrah Abraham’s ass shenanigans , you have to admit. As Amber tweeted today, “Everyone should feel good about their bodies. Losing a lot of weight isn’t easy. And your body sometimes changes. Thanks for the support.” And if you read about Amber receiving “support” and immediately thought about her awful douchebag jackass boyfriend, Matt Baier, and what kind of support he might be giving her, you’re not alone. If Matt can abandon his own children , it’s not out of the realm of possibility for him to leave his fiancee after extensive surgery. But according to Amber, he’s actually stepping up. “Wishing you a speedy recovery!” one fan said to her. “I bet Matt will take good care of you!” And — again, according to Amber, to take it with a grain of salt, as much as she likes to defend him — “he’s doing a great job!” So hey, let’s go ahead and send all the best wishes to Amber and her recovery, OK? She really, really deserves it.

Matt Baier Tries to Make Peace With Gary Shirley, Remains a Douche

if you watch Teen Mom online , you know that Amber Portwood’s fiance, Matt Baier, is pretty much the worst. This current season has been described as a sort of “apology tour” for Baier , but it could more accurately be called a “hey, everyone, I’m not as big of a douche as you thought!” tour. Baier seems to be making an effort to convince fans that Amber isn’t actually making the worst mistake of her life by marrying a middle-aged gold-digger who tried to bang all her co-stars with scenes like this “bonus clip” from the most recent episode: Matt Baier Plans Amber’s Surprise Party Does MTV have some stake in rescuing Baier’s reputation? Everyone who watched   Teen Mom OG  Season 3 Episode 5  knows that  Is this clip intended to show us that Baier went to such great lengths as calling Amber’s cousin to get her out of the house for a couple hours? Did Baier complain that he didn’t receive enough credit for throwing such a “wicked pissah”? It’s possible we’ve devoted way to much though to this. In any event, many fans believe that Baier’s main goal in hosting the party was to make nice with Amber’s baby daddy, Gary Shirley. That may seem admirable, but knowing Baier, we can’t help but see the selfish motivation behind his actions. “Gary [Shirley] and Kristina are coming,” Matt tells Amber’s understandably surprised cousin at one point in the episode. “I just invited him because it’s not like he’s not a major part of our life, so I just invited him.” You may remember that Shirley was the first one to call Amber’s attention to the fact that Baier is a deadbeat dad . Seems like an odd to “just invite him” to a party for the hell of it. It also seems like the move of a guy who’s out to convince the people in his life (especially his meal-ticket, Amber) that he’s not what he appears to be: Which is of course, a conniving jerk. What makes Baier worse than Adam Lind and the other horrendous exes of the Teen Mom franchise is that he’s actually considerably smarter than them. It pains us to pay him that compliment, but then again he’s also about two decades older than his co-stars. And sadly, the guy seems to be devoting the sum total of his intellect to wriggling out of child support payments and convincing his girlfriend that he’s not his terrible as everyone says. In conclusion: trying to not look like a D-bag somehow actually makes Matt Baier look like MORE of a D-bag. We don’t quite understand it, either.

Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 Recap: I Love When Clouds Touch Mountains or Whatever

After a tumultuous first four episodes of the fall, what wild and crazy ISH went down Monday night on Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 ? Watch Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 Online On the latest installment of the MTV franchise, the fab four went through highs and lows as always – some more profound than others. Speaking of profound moments, ladies and gentlemen: “You know what I wonder? If the earth is a circle, how does the water always stay? Gravity?” Farrah Abraham said, dropping serious knowledge. “But the water is a little bit more heavier than gravity.”  “I love when clouds touch mountains or whatever.” Apropos of nothing, but we couldn’t not include that.  If you  watch Teen Mom OG online , you know that Farrah and Simon Saran have had a tumultuous relationship to say the very least. Well, Teen Mom OG Season 3 Episode 5 was no exception as Simon flew to Hawaii to make up and make out with her post- Easter Gate . Of course, nothing with Farrah is every that easy. The trip was an total bust, for a variety of reasons. Simon and his sometime porn star GF promptly got into it about how “fake” the other one is, and he ended up getting ditched on the curb. Seriously. Along with his “day bag.” Asked if she’s in love with Simon, Farrah responded, “I don’t think I need to be concerned of if I love someone right now.” “It’s more or less repairing what was already started. And it’s slowly getting there. But I’m like, why isn’t it there already?” A very good, and deep question. Simon and Farrah may not last, but he recently said Farrah is a great mom , so it looks like they’ve made up, if not made out, recently. View Slideshow: 35 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time Elsewhere, Amber Portwood’s boyfriend Matt Baier, threw her surprise party for the big 2-6. As in the number of years she’s been alive. Not his total number of children. Sorry. Low blow? Too soon? In all seriousness, it was a good time as daughter Leah came along with Amber’s old cellmate, Nicole, who is also out of prison now. Nicole is the only other member of their prison crew to make it out to the real world, so this was a big deal for Ambs and rightfully so. “She was my best friend,” Amber said. “And we’re actually the only two out of our friends who have made it and haven’t went back in.” Portwood’s prison days seem a distant memory lately, and that’s to her credit and she really has turned her life around in every sense. Still, personal struggles remain. “We all have different problems on this show, but for some odd reason, I’m so depressed,” she revealed. “I’m bipolar and manic depressive.” “I’m borderline personality. I’m diagnosed with every single one of those. I’m on my medications for it,” Amber added, but she cautioned: Given her problems with drug abuse in the past, her medications are non-narcotics and they are closely monitored, so that’s a relief. We wish her the best. Poor girl. Maci Bookout: Overwhelmed By Wedding Plans?! Maci Bookout and Taylor McKinney just bought a house, but now they’re buying a new one due to the whole unexpected third pregnancy. Taylor also got a tattoo of their unborn baby’s name (Maverick), which begged the question of what happens if he turns out to be a girl. Sonograms, or the technicians reading them, have been wrong before, so it’s not far-fetched. Maci’s take on this hilarious hypothetical? “Ryan was supposed to be a girl.” “Not f–king surprising at all.” LOL. Finally, Catelynn Lowell went to rehab for mental health treatment, and Tyler Baltierra was in shambles, literally pained for his spouse. “[She’s] like a log just rolling through days,” he told Teen Mom: OG producers, reflecting on how Cate needs help and telling his wife: “You’re not f–ked up, honey. Things happen.” “As long as we don’t mask it no more, and we fix it,” he said, everything will be alright, and Catelynn seemed to take all that to heart.  “I probably wont come home and smoke [pot],” she said. “Actually, I should just start saying I wont come home and smoke ever again.” “I feel like I’m a crack addict or something.” Not a crack addict, but getting help is never a bad thing when you’re struggling. As Tyler said, things happen, and we’re all in it together. Catelynn Lowell Speaks on Anxiety

LuAnn de Lesseps Confronts Fiancè for Cheating!

LuAnn de Lesseps is finally about to confront her cheating fiancè on The Real Housewives of New York City.  It's going to be one of the biggest showdowns in the history of The Real Housewives franchise and we couldn't be more excited for it.  Sure, it sucks for LuAnn to be cheated on, but it's best she knows exactly what Tom D'Agostino Jr. is up to behind her back.  In the video from the season finale of the Bravo hit, LuAnn calls Tom, with Bethenny in her presence.  She confronts him over the phone and it sure seems like he tries to wriggle his way out of it.  What was his excuse? He didn't remember. What a horrible way to admit to cheating. Right?! It's bad enough he cheated with a woman in a New York City hotel, but why did he not just admit to it? He knew the net was closing in, so he should have expected nothing less than the cheating being revealed in front of the cameras. LuAnn is understandably not impressed with Tom, but we already know he manages to sweet talk her.  The wedding is very much still on, but don't expect Bethenny to be in attendance.  Fans of the reality show were quick to point out that Bethenny shouldn't have revealed Tom's deceit to LuAnn while the cameras were rolling.  The thing fans seem to forget is that most of what happens on reality TV is manipulated in some way.  For all we know, the scene with LuAnn going at it with Tom on the phone could have been filmed after the real argument took place.  If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online , you'll know Bethenny seemed to be using the evidence as a bargaining chip.  She tried to keep it from LuAnn for as long as possible and gave out very vague hints.  If you recall, she asked LuAnn if she was in an open relationship with Tom just a few weeks ago.  LuAnn was furious and noted that she knew Bethenny was up to something.  What do you think of the video? Was Bethenny right to reveal it all on camera? Hit the comments below!

Matt Baier: I’m Not A Deadbeat Dad, I Just Wasn’t Around!

Following last night's dramatic season premiere, Matt Baier wants Teen Mom OG viewers to know that he's sick of the scrutiny. Now that the reality hit is back on MTV, Baier and his fiancee, Amber Portwood are doing damage control on his reputation. To which I speak for everyone when I say, “too little, too late.” Still, Portwood will fight for the man she loves. “I think one thing people are going to see is how a lot of the child support cases against him were dropped,” Portwood told Hollywood Life . “They’re going to take a step back and say, ‘Oh wow, maybe I was wrong,'” she said. “Matt doesn’t have that many kids and he was put out there as this horrible person that he isn’t. It completely shocked him.” “I had to try to stick with it and stay with him, and thank God I did or it would have been a mistake, Portwood added. As for the status of their relationship, Portwood says things are terrific, and that everything they've been through made them stronger. Is she trying too hard to convince herself of that? No so, she insists. Although they have delayed their October wedding , the Teen Mom tandem is looking forward to building a future together. “We’re doing great today,” Portwood said. “That’s not Matt today … that wasn’t even him a couple years ago. I don’t want people to think he’s this slimy guy when he’s so amazing.” “I want people to see what I see,” she added. What they see has not been all that impressive so far, but Amber is standing by her man through thick and thin, which does tell you something. The couple went on Dr. Drew's show last night to discuss the rumors that have plagued Baier for the better part of a year now. Namely, the small fact that Matt Baier has seven kids (or eight, or nine, depending on who you ask) that he sired and left behind. As well as his issues with addiction, which are well documented. Oh, and the fact that he tried to bang Farrah Abraham before meeting Amber – a topic that was broached last night on Teen Mom: OG . Guy has a lot of baggage, to say the least. “Yes, I have a lousy past. The proof is bad enough – why make stuff up?” Baier, 44, told Dr. Drew during yesterday's sit-down. Obviously, with a track record like his, there's both a lot of explaining to do, and not a lot of explaining he can do to change minds. He does want to stress one key point, however. “I wasn’t a deadbeat dad ,” he says, but rather, “I was an absentee dad back then, and I think there’s a big difference.” Is there, though? Or is it mere semantics? And even though he has five children – not seven, eight or nine, as some have alleged – he assured viewers that his hands are clean. “I owe zero dollars in child support.” Slow claps for the absentee dad.

Tyler Baltierra Reacts to Outrage Over Catelynn Lowell Fat-Shaming Comments

Last week, a preview for the new season of Teen Mom featured a moment that surprised many fans of the long-running MTV reality series. Tyler Baltierra to Catelynn Lowell: You’re Not Ready to Be a Mom! In the clip above, Tyler Baltierra fat-shames Catelynn Lowell , slamming his wife over the size of her meal moments after she stated that she’d like to rejoin Weight Watchers. So it’s not like Catelynn’s weight was a problem and she didn’t realize it. And considering Catelynn went to rehab for emotional issues shortly after the scene was filmed, it’s not like she was in such a stable place that such hurtful comments rolled right off her back. Nevertheless, Tyler is reacting to the situation in the fashion beloved by reality stars who have said something stupid on camera: Basically his response to pissed off fans is, Hey, I know I’ve spent my adult life cashing in on your interest in my personal life, but now that the attention has turned negative, can you stop? On Saturday, Baltierra revealed that he’s in therapy learning how to refrain from making the types of remarks he made, because apparently that’s the sort of thing one has to learn in therapy. Shortly thereafter, however, Baltierra had a message to fans who were upset by his remarks: “When your [sic] with someone for over 10 yrs your [sic] able to speak to each other openly & honestly. That’s how we communicate,” Baltierra tweeted. “We aren’t afraid to hurt each other’s feelings, because we know how strong our love for each other is> ” If that explanation is a bit TL;DR for you, it can basically be summed up as: “STFU, people who made me famous. That’s how I ‘communicate’ with my wife.” We initially thought therapy was a bit of an overreaction, but now we’re thinking Tyler could benefit from working on his communication skills.

Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley: Can They Make Co-Parenting Work?

Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley may not be back together, but that doesn’t mean they can’t raise their daughter, Leah as a team. ” Me and Gary sat on his front porch and talked about everything,” Portwood told People Magazine ahead of Teen Mom OG ‘s season premiere tonight. “[We were] like ‘Okay, what should we do?’ And we made the decision that he would take primary custody, simply because we didn’t want to take her out of her school. “She’s going to a really great school and she’s in an advanced class and I don’t want to take that away from her.” Last week, MTV shared a preview of Portwood discussing custody with her friend, Krystal.   Portwood revealed that the animosity between her and Gary was affecting the 7-year-old, so she decided to put whatever issues she has with her ex aside for the well-being of their daughter. Matt Baier Tries to Hold Baby, Gets Teased, Looks Old AF in Teen Mom Sneak Peek “What we did was we did joint custody where it’s open communication,” Portwood told People. “It actually says in the contract that it’s open communication to see BooBoo during the school year. “I can call everyday and go pick her up from school if I wanted to. I have her on my weekends and during the summer we had her back and forth 50/50. It was great. I would have her for like a week straight and we’re doing really good with this.” What’s even better is that Portwood and Shirley don’t have to go back to court to discuss custody.  It’s not, however, smooth sailing for this famously volatile duo. View Slideshow: Teen Mom Season 6 Previews: So Much Drama For the OG Mamas! I mean, come on. It’s as smooth as it can be,” Portwood said with a laugh, referring to how she and Shirley communicate. “Me and Gary don’t exactly have the greatest way of communicating, but we’re doing better. It’s going the way that everybody would think it’s going.” Portwood gushed about Leah, and what a good big sister she is to Shirley’s daughter Emily with his wife, Kristina Anderson. “She’s so smart,” Portwood said of Leah. “I know every mom says that about their kids, but she’s just excelling. She’s so beautiful; I don’t know where she gets it. It’s crazy. “She’s the greatest big sister to Emily. She loves that little girl. It’s the cutest thing. And Emily kind of looks like her when she was little. She’s the cutest little thing.” Teen Mom OG returns to MTV tonight at 10 p.m. ET View Slideshow: 16 and Pregnant Stars By the Numbers: A Depressing Breakdown

Amber Portwood: Still Having Financial Problems?

Amber Portwood has had a tough year.  Just a few months ago, it was revealed that the Teen Mom OG star owes more than $130,000 in taxes .  That’s a huge sum of money for someone who gets a six figure salary for her work on Teen Mom OG. Right?! You’d think that the star would be in a better financial state. Might it be all those baby mamas coming out of the woodwork to expose Matt Baier that’s taken a hit on her bank balance? Either way you look at it, Portwood is in a very tough spot.  She still owes over $130,000 in taxes, so with the figure still standing, it’s clear there’s something seriously going on with her finances.  If she had the money to at least start paying the debt, the outstanding balance would be getting slimmer, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.  Considering how often Portwood is in the public eye, this isn’t the type of news she would want floating around about herself. There’s a good chance if she did have money, she would be paying off the balance.  It sure sounds like she doesn’t have it and her problems probably won’t be going anywhere anytime soon.  There’s also word on the street that Amber had a miscarriage due to substance abuse.  We have no idea whatsoever if that’s true yet, but it’s not like Amber to keep quiet about her personal life.  Perhaps MTV have offered her a cash bonus to keep it quiet until it’s shown on the series? That wouldn’t be all that surprising.  Just look at Teen Mom 2 stars Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin. They were apart for months, but managed to keep it quiet.  Amber will next be seen on Teen Mom OG season 6, which debuts August 22 on MTV.  What do you think about all of this? Hit the comments!
