Mike Sorrentino Celebrates 3 Years of Sobriety Prior to Prison Sentence

When Jersey Shore fans first met Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, he was a cocaine-fueled party monster who lived to create drama. These days, Mike has done a complete 180 and turned his life around in truly admirable fashion. Unfortunately, in the eyes of the criminal justice system, The Sitch still has much to atone for. Back in Sorrentino pled guilty to tax fraud . Federal investigators allege that the 36-year-old had failed to pay taxes on more than $9 million in earnings. In October,  Sorrentino was sentenced to 8 months in prison. He’ll be able to spend the holidays with his family but must turn himself in to authorities on January 15. That’s the bad news. The good news is that Mike recently celebrated a major victory in his battle against substance abuse. Mike posted the above photo to Instagram this week, allowing with the following caption: “Big daddy Sitch celebrating 3 years of sobriety & teaming up with @discoveryinstitute_nj to bring a holiday meal to Phoenix Recovery House in Eatontown NJ for Christmas,” Sorrentino wrote. Yes, in case you had any doubt that The Sitch is a changed man, he decided to celebrate his sobriety to giving back to others. In his latest Instagram story, Mike wrote, “2019 will be your year of advancement … God is taking you to another level.” Despite the hardships ahead, it seems Mike is genuinely optimistic about his future — and with good reason. Last month,  Sorrentino married Lauren Pesce , the college sweetheart, whom he’s been dating on and off for more than 15 years. “He just wants to get his time done, come home and start his life over. The wedding has been a great distraction for him,” a source told Us Weekly just prior to the wedding. “He and Lauren are just focusing on getting ready for their wedding,” the insider adds. “Once it’s done, he really wants to spend as much time as he can with her before he leaves. “He’s looking forward to working up until he goes away.” We hope he’s been able to do exactly that in the weeks to come. We wish Mike all the best in his continued recovery. View Slideshow: Mike Sorrentino Posts Honeymoon Pics Ahead of Prison Sentence

Standing With Kap Or Nah? Here’s The REAL Reason Cardi B Isn’t Making Money Moves On The Superbowl Stage

Source: Gladys Vega/Getty Images / Getty Here’s Why Cardi B Refuses To Perform At The Superbowl As you know, Travis Scott has signed on to perform at the Superbowl halftime show this year and is in the midst of being counseled against it by Hip-Hop legends. But prior to his eleventh-hour sunken decision, the NFL was practically begging Cardi B to turn up and support Maroon 5 at the show — which she has notably refused. However, according to a source for Page Six , Cardi is only refusing to perform at halftime because the NFL isn’t meeting her outlandish demands, not because she has any solidarity with kneeling players or issues with the league’s racial policies. The source claims Cardi demanded to be paid around $1 million to appear during the 20-minute performance and also required a solo spot during the show without Maroon 5 accompanying her on stage. The thing is, the NFL typically doesn’t pay artists to perform at all. They instead give a “gift in kind” to performers, which covers all production and wardrobe for the performance, travel, and accommodations for the artists. It’s more of a career benchmark and honor for the artists than a big-check opportunity. But Cardi wants her cash. Other sources close to Cardi claim that she really is refusing the slot in solidarity with Kaepernick and his #TakeAKnee movement, and it has nothing to do with the 7 figures the NFL isn’t handing out. Hmmm…sounds like Cardi would be down with the NFL if the money was looking right. But she may actually have the strong principles her crew claims. Who do YOU believe? Gladys Vega/Getty Images

Joy-Anna Duggar Reveals Dramatic Post-Baby Weight Loss Secrets

Joy-Anna Duggar’s struggle to lose weight after giving birth had some fans convinced she was pregnant again already . Well, she has dramatically lost weight, and offers to share her secret with fans. She also reveals that she has already reached an amazing weight loss milestone. Joy-Anna Duggar recently posted a mind-blowing selfie. She has struggled to drop her pregnancy weight, as many mothers do, but her new photo showed her figure looking very trim. Fans wanted to know her secret — and Joy-Anna is willing to talk. “Hey guys!” she writes in her Instagram story. “So I want to share with you what I’ve been doing to lose my baby weight.” It has clearly been working. “A couple months ago,” Joy-Anna shares. “I really wanted to hit it hard and just lose this baby weight.” “I tried exercising,” she reveals. Joy-Anna continues: “I tried dieting.” “And,” she laments. “Nothing was really working.” The reasons why some people struggle to lose weight are complicated, and often come down to time, money, and genetics. In the end, the human body excels at holding on to weight and is reluctant to shed those precious pounds. The tale of her weight loss had several steps, including how she learned of the technique she used. “So,” Joy-Anna shares. “My friend Jessica told me what she had been doing.” She is referring to Jessica Ballinger. “She lost 47 pounds,” Joy-Anna shares, and “feels amazing.” Different people gain and lose very different amounts of weight during pregnancy. “And,” Joy-Anna adds, her friend Jessica “says she has so much energy.” Some crash diets can make people feel exhausted because they are literally malnourishing themselves. Carbohydrates are the fuel that keeps the human body running, folks. Joy-Anna was totally blown away. “I know her,” Joy-Anna gushes. “And saw her results.” She had finally found the solution to her post-baby body. Joy-Anna says that she made a resolution for herself “and was like, I want to do it.” Good for her! Here is where Joy-Anna reveals her major weight loss milestone. “I started it,” she shares. “And I have already gotten down to my pre-pregnancy weight.” That is amazing! “And,” Joy-Anna boasts. “I am still losing weight.” That’s impressive, but we of course hope that she does not take weight loss to any unhealthy extremes. She reveals: “I just feel so good.” “If you guys are wondering what I’m doing,” Joy-Anna says. “You can contact her and I will put her link in the next story.” In other words, she’s not going to steal her friend Jessica Ballinger’s thunder. She says that Jessica’s method “helps teach you how to use food as fuel.” “And,” she adds. “provides you with the food that is necessary to burn fat without sacrificing energy.” Hmmm. So no, Joy-Anna does not provide details. At times it sounds like she is simply describing a diet, like the keto diet or something similar. At other times, it sounds like she is describing something more involved, like a food plan for which one must pay. There are plenty of people who love their food subscription plans. There are plenty of people who love their diets. No healthy solution is going to work the same way for everyone, however. We are so glad to hear that this worked so well for Joy-Anna.

Though many of her problems are self-inflicted, and she seems reluctant to atone for her abusive and violent past, Amber's struggle with postpartum depression has earned her the sympathy of many Teen Mom OG viewers.

Kate Middleton: Meghan Markle Is Too American to Hang With Me!

By now, you’ve probably heard the reports of an intense and ongoing  feud between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton . While it’s true that the British tabloid press would probably have these two at each other’s throats even if they were the best of friends, there’s legitimate reason to believe Meg and Kate genuinely dislike one another. For starters, Kensington Palace issued a statement in the feud, which is a virtually unprecedented move by the Royals’ press secretaries. On top of that, Meg and Kate have both been suspiciously silent on the matter. It’s a curious situation, and it’s not hard to see why it’s captured the imagination of royal watchers the world over. Much ink has been spilled on the question of what caused the split, and it seems like — as is usually the case with fractured relationships — there were a number of contributing factors. Last week, we talked about the peace summit that Prince Charles hosted at Anmer Hall last Christmas in hopes of soothing what were then simmering tensions between the two duchesses. Yesterday, we discussed reports that relations broke down for good when Meghan and Kate fought over a dress (specifically, the fit of Princess Charlotte’s dress) just prior to Meg’s wedding. Now, we’re receiving word that there’s another barrier preventing Meghan and Kate from forming a friendship — and it’s been present since the first day they met. There have long been reports that Meghan is “too American” for the Royals’ liking, and it seems Kate finds her Yankee demeanor particularly troublesome. According to People magazine (long the most reliable source on this sort of royal gossip), Kate is often repulsed by Meghan’s brusque way of addressing palace staff. A source close to the situation tells People that royal aides “might not be used to the ‘say-it-as-you-see-it’ American mentality.” A different insider claims that Meghan learned early on that she needs to be outspoken and persistent if she’s going to accomplish the goals she has in mind as Duchess of Sussex. “The palace is a magical place, and it is also a place where all you hear is ‘no, no, no,’ ” says the source . Sounds to us less a matter of national identity and more a simple fact of two very different personalities occupying the same space.

Jenelle Evans Sets Fire to Kailyn Lowry’s Hair Care Products: F–k Your Peace Offering!

When you really think about it, it's impressive: Just when we thought Jenelle Evans had humiliated herself in every possible way, she discovers a new and bizarre method for making herself look like a damn fool. As you probably already know, Jenelle has been feuding with Kailyn Lowry for years. And you're probably also aware that her animosity toward Kail has caused Jenelle to engage in some behavior that's truly bonkers — even by Jenelle Evans standards. But Jenelle's latest attempt at revenge might be her most bizarre and hilariously misguided to date. The whole thing is classic Jenelle — pointlessly mean-spirited, potentially dangerous, embarrassingly try-hard, and above all, very, very dumb. Take a look: 1. Better Days It wasn’t all that long ago that Kail and Jenelle were close friends. These days, however, the Teen Mom 2 co-stars are bitter rivals. 2. Trying Her Best Kail is still no fan of Jenelle’s, but she seems to have arrived at the conclusion that there’s no need for two grown colleagues to engage in non-stop petty squabbles on social media. 3. Genuine Concern And so, when David Eason was flashing his guns and threatening elected officials on Instagram last week, Kail reached out to Jenelle in order to ensure she was safe. 4. No Luck Lowry wasn’t able to get in touch with Evans, but she still tried to mend fences with her co-star and former friend. 5. The Gift That Keeps on Giving And so, Kail sent Jenelle the only gift that could warm the Carolina Hurricane’s cold, cold heart. We’re talking, of course, about weed. 6. But Seriously … Okay, Kail didn’t actually give Jenelle the gift of cannabis. Instead, she sent samples from her Pothead haircare line, which features products made from hemp-derived CBD oil.

Hive Freak Out: Here’s What Happened When A Beyonce “Album” Unexpectedly Burned Down The Internet

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Beyonce’s “Album” Leaks Oh, people out here trying to get SUED sued , huh? Some internet thugs decided to hack the world, releasing whole new albums from Beyonce, SZA and Solange on Spotify and Apple Music. It all started with a few people tweeting out that if they searched “Queen Carter” they’d find new music. Then it caught on like wildfire. So what are the songs actually? They’re old, mostly unreleased Beyonce tracks from the early 2000s that we bet Bey even forgot exists. Still, some are just happy to hear new Bey.
