Leah Messer has been dealt quite the hand in life, hasn't she? Not only did she get pregnant at 16, but she got pregnant with twins. And not only did she get pregnant with twins, but one of those twins was born with a debilitating disease. She also has two failed marriages under her belt at a very young age and she's struggled with an alleged prescription pill problem, but let's stick to that twin thing for now, OK? One of Leah's twins, Ali, has a rare form of muscular dystrophy . At this point in her life, the disease is really affecting her mobility. Ali has a wheelchair that she's encouraged to use at all times, and a helmet for the times she does walk around, since she suffers a lot of falls. But Leah isn't too big on the helmet . Or the wheelchair, for that matter. In this sneak peek from next week's brand new episode of Teen Mom 2, Leah talks with a friend about Ali's issues. She still seems to be in denial about the severity of Ali's disease, and understandably so. She says that even though Ali's supposed to use her wheelchair, she's never tell her that she couldn't walk if she wanted to walk. Leah even says that she didn't know if she'd ever be able to accept that her daughter's condition is declining. Watch the heartbreaking footage below:
Though just 18 years old, Paris Jackson has endured her share of ups and downs. Paris has spent her entire life in the spotlight, and the world looked on as she mourned her father, struggled with substance abuse, and even attempted suicide . Unfortunately, it seems that Paris’ love life hasn’t provided much in the way of solace or stability. Until recently, Paris was dating Michael Snoddy , a 27-year-old drummer who had her family worried for a number of reasons. In addition to the age difference, there was reason to believe that Snoddy was using Paris for her wealth and music industry connections. On top of all that, Snoddy had been accused on more than one occasion of using racial slurs and expressing white supremacist views. So yeah, Paris may have dodged a bullet when she ended that relationship. Unfortunately, now fans are concerned by the speed with which she seems to have moved on to a new relationship. Yes, it appears that Paris has moved on with a new man already. It’s more than a little surprising, considering rumors that Paris and Snoddy were engaged were circulating around social media just a few months ago. Neither party took any steps to deny the reports, either. But Paris is well and truly over that relationship these days, and she wants the world to know she’s had zero trouble moving on. Paris posted the below pic on social media last night, and as you may have guessed, the guy in the photo is not the unfortunately-named Mr. Snoddy: The Guy With the Similar Neck Tattoo is named Tony Oller, and his Instagram reveals nothing about him other than the fact that he’s 25 years old. So hey, at least Paris is moving slightly closer to her own age, right? Anyway, fans immediately started speculating that Paris and Tony are dating, and once again, her silence is speaking volumes. Yet again, Paris is doing nothing to dispute the rumor, which is being widely viewed as her way of confirming it. So it’s yet another twist in a life that seems to be endlessly full of drama. But hey, Paris seems happy, and with all she’s been through, that should be enough for her fans.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie can agree on one thing and one thing only these days. The estranged spouses released a statement through their lawyers a few weeks ago in which they said they will keep the personal lives of their children out of the press for the duration of their divorce. That seemed like progress at the time. It seemed as if Jolie and Pitt were done playing games and were intent on actually pushing through with their legal breakup in the most amicable way possible. Since then, however, well… … there’s been talk that Pitt checked himself into rehab for substance abuse issues. … and there’s been chatter that Jolie is intent on adopting a seventh child, despite Pitt being strongly against any new siblings for his kids. It really is amazing just how far this previously-beloved couple has fallen. They were the apple of Hollywood’s eye just a couple months ago and now each rumor about the former couple is more disheartening than the one before it. But anyway. On to the latest! According to In Touch Weekly, Jolie is demanding $100,000 in child support each month from Pitt. (This may seem excessive to some, but it’s almost literal pocket change to Johnny Depp .) And while Pitt has filed for joint custody of the children – Maddox, 15, Pax, 13, Zahara, 12, Shiloh, 10, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 8 – and while he “has no issue taking care of the kids,” a source tells the tabloid that he finds this number to be excessive. Can Pitt afford it? Yes. Are the kids worth it? Of course. But he simply doesn’t trust Jolie to be in charge of how such ample funds are spent. The actor is the one being asked to pony up child support because worth more than Jolie at the moment. He’s willing to accept her request of $100,000 each month in order to pay for the kids’ expenses and to set up a trust fun, an insider tells In Touch Weekly.

This disagreement is merely the latest in what has become a sad saga. Pitt has said in court that Jolie often exploits her children any time she thinks it may “benefit” her career or her cause, adding that his former wife has “exposed the children by making public the names of their therapist and other mental health professionals.” In retaliation, Jolie has said that Pitt wants to keep details about their children’s life private because he’s afraid the public will otherwise learn the truth. And that truth, according to Jolie, is that Pitt is a bad father who got drunk on a plane in September and assaulted their 15-year old son.

And we have a feeling they will get even uglier before they get any better.
It’s been kind of a weird week, hasn’t it, friends? One might even argue that it’s been a weird year, maybe even a weird century. Times are tough, you know. So in these trying times, why not kick back, relax, and let Jenelle Evans warm your heart? Now, you might find yourself instinctively opposed to that idea. After all, Jenelle Evans usually doesn’t bring to mind good things. But, lest you forget. Jenelle has a brand new baby at home. And brand new babies are nothing if not good things. Yes, it’s barely been a week since Jenelle gave birth to her third child and her first daughter, little Ensley Jolie. In that time, Jenelle’s brought the baby home from the hospital, and she’s been working on establishing a new routine for her little family. She’s also been blowing up Snapchat. Look at that darling little picture! The little bitty baby rocking that flower crown filter! Sure, we never thought we’d live to see the day when a newborn could try out Snapchat filters, but that’s OK. Instead of focusing on the weirdness, let’s just focus on the cuteness. Because Ensley’s next snap is really, really cute. The deer filter, can you even stand it?! Jenelle was sweet enough to save these photos and slap them up on Instagram, just in case some of her fans don’t follow her on all of her social media accounts. And surprisingly, the response was overwhelming positive. The photo received hundreds of comments like “gorgeous!” and “so cute!”, which honestly isn’t all that common for Teen Mom’s hottest mess. But you know the Jenelle haters couldn’t stay away entirely. “Probably would look better without snap chat filters,” one person suggested. Another commented “3 babies with 3 different dudes … that’s something to be proud of.” “Why am I not happy for her?” one fan wondered. “I mean God bless this child but I really am praying for your children. Jenelle is hopeless.” And while that may be true, Jenelle certainly could be hopeless , it’s undeniable that Ensley here is beautiful and so very loved. So for now, just this once, how about we just focus on that? View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Baby Photos: FIRST LOOK!
