Must Be Nice! Felicity Huffman Sentenced To Only 14 Days Behind Bars In College Admissions Scandal

Source: JOSEPH PREZIOSO / Getty Felicity Huffman Has Been Sentenced To 2 Weeks in Prison Felicity Huffman has finally been sentenced for her role in the nationwide college admissions scandal. According to reports from TMZ , the Desperate Housewives actress was sentenced to only 14 days in prison on Friday in a Boston federal courtroom. “I am deeply sorry to the students, parents, colleges and universities impacted by my actions,” she said during the hearing. “I have inflicted more damage (on her daughter) than I could’ve ever imagined. I was frightened, I was stupid and I was so wrong. I am deeply ashamed of what I have done.” This sentencing comes about a week after news that prosecutors recommended a month behind bars, arguing that house arrest at a luxurious pad is far from being a punishment. The actress’ legal team was pushing for no prison time after Huffman admitted to paying a proctor $15,000 to inflate her daughter’s SAT scores. The 56-year-old will begin her sentence on October 25 and in addition to the prison time, she was fined $30,000, received a year of supervised release, and has been ordered to complete 250 hours of community service. Though the high-profile actress receiving any jail time is relatively shocking, 14 days is nothing compared to sentences for those like Tanya McDowell , the black mother serving 12 years for sending her child to school in a better district. Are we surprised? No. Are we disappointed? Absolutely.

Bear Brown and Raiven Adams: Expecting First Child! AFTER Ending Engagement!

At the end of August, Alaskan Bush People star Bear Brown got engaged to Raiven Adams . Congratulations were in order! But two weeks later, the couple broke off their engagement , deciding to instead remain best friends. That was just days ago. Now, Bear and Raiven have a new announcement: they’re expecting their first child! Bear Brown spoke to People   to share the surprising news. “Raiven and I are excited to share we’re expecting a baby this spring!” Bear gushes. He does acknowledge that Raiven is no longer slated to rule by his side as the Queen of Extreme. “Even though we’re no longer together,” Bear explains. “We’re still friends” “And,” he emphasizes. “Dedicated to raising a healthy and happy child.” “Raiven will be an amazing mom,” Bear raves about his hot model ex-fiancee. He makes a firm vow: “and I will work my hardest to be the best dad I can be!” “Family is everything to me,” Bear affirms. “And,” he expresses. “We appreciate everyone’s support as we figure out our new normal.” Raising a baby with your ex fiancee who is now your best friend is no joke. And who knows what their status will be when Raiven gives birth. Raiven also spoke to People about the surprise. “We’re still in an early stage,” Raiven revealed. “But,” she noted. “We’ve talked a lot about how to make this work and prioritize the baby.” Raiven expresses optimism: “We know the strength of our friendship and support of our families will allow us to raise a happy child.” While she is looking forward to the future, she is already feeling the full force of the pregnancy. “Pregnancy is no joke!” Raiven reminds the world. “I’m not sleeping much,” she laments. “And I’m pretty sick but still feeling very blessed.” Raiven says that she and Bear are eager to learn what sorts of genitals their baby will have “as soon as we can.” But Raiven would still “be thrilled with a boy or girl.” Raiven also made the announcement on Instagram. “Quickly after deciding friendship was best for us!” Raiven begins. “We found out we had a little surprise coming our way.” “After a quick engagement,” she reminds followers. “Because we felt that was the right thing to do.” “We talked about things,” Raiven shares. “And ultimately decided being co parents was best for us as well as our baby.” “We are super excited,” she expresses. “And surprised to announce this especially due to current events.” “We are excited to coparent as friends,” Raiven writes. “And,” she adds, to “do our best to be the best we can be.” “We can’t wait to find out the gender!” she notes. “Being in the earlier stages means a lot of sick and sleepless nights.” “Thats okay,” Raiven concludes, suddenly speaking to her unborn child. “Because you are for sure worth it!” Some would consider this a very early time to announce a pregnancy. Early pregnancies can be very fragile. But given that their engagement ended earlier this week, perhaps they figured that it was best to get it all out into the open now . Congratulations!

Farrah Abraham: I’m So Sorry for My Dumb 9/11 Mistake!

Her bad, you guys. Seriously: her major, major bad. Farrah Abraham just wants to make that as clear as possible… while still spouting her usual nonsense and still sounding anything but truly authentic. On Wednesday — also known as the 18th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks — the former Teen Mom star posted a lengthy video from the site of this horrific tragedy. She was on location in New York City with her daughter, Sophia, telling fans how much they were enjoying (yes, enjoying ) the trip and then, well… she mixed up the date of the attacks with the name of a well-known convenience store chain. “Okay, so we wanted to do, since it’s gonna be September 11, in honor of the Freedom Towers, and observatory deck and everything, of 7-Eleven, we are going to do this. Wow, look at this guys,” says Farrah into the camera down below. She didn’t realize her error at the time and just kept on talking in a VERY excited manner about the whole 9/11 memorial experience. “I think this is gorgeous, beautiful, and in memory of a lot of loved ones, a lot of others lost,” she says in the following video, adding: “I remember being in fifth grade when September 11 attacks happened, Sophia was not born yet, so I think it’s really important that Sophia learns about it, and here we go.” A sweet sentiment at its core, no doubt. But Farrah quickly came under for the 7-Eleven utterance and the entire entire idea of using this national tragedy as the basis for a vlog entry. Farrah Abraham at One World Trade Center: Watch, Cringe Now! Approached today by TMZ about the debacle, Farrah definitely apologized — but she didn’t exactly sound remorsely. “It crushed me,” Farrah told a cameraman from this website on the street, prior to laughing at her own expense. “I don’t even know my name sometimes… it was a raw moment. Sophia definitely enjoyed 9/11, that was the first time I got to go,” she added. Again, just a weird thing to say and a weird say to say it. But this is Farrah Abraham, right? That’s how she always rolls. “I was super tired. I’m very sorry about that,” continueed Farrah in this same interview. She then asked her 10-year old daughter for her thoughts on One World Trade Center, which is where the Twin Towers were formally located. “It was super tall,” the child replied. Farrah proceeded to say that she hopes Sophia gets a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame someday, and then responded to accusations that maybe she shouldn’t have used 9/11 as a promotional tool for her social media presence and YouTube channel. “This is our daily life and that was part of our life,” she said, concluding: “We’re all human. I’m human, what a shock!” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham Looks 39 Shades of Effed Up in Disturbing New Video

Jenelle Evans: My Home Life is Great! Nothing to See Here!

Jenelle Evans is married to an admitted dog killer . Due to David Eason’s violent, disgusting actions, Jenelle and her husband lost custody of their children for about two months this spring and summer. But now little Kaiser and Ensley (along with 11-year old Maryssa) are back in the reality star’s custody — and it’s like nothing ever totally awful and disturving ever happened. At least in the eyes of Jenelle and David. Speaking to Us Weekly at the Jenelle Evans JE Cosmetics Launch on Monday, Evans addressed the temporary loss of her son and daughter, telling the tabloid: “It’s been very great because it’s really keeping us humble. “[It’s] been having us focus on just staying at home, focusing on making them happy, making sure that’s a No. 1 priority.” A very nice sentiment, we’d all agree. But will Evans and Eason really put these kids first? Truly raise them in a calm and safe environment for a change? Yes, Jenelle vows. “We want to make them happy,” Evans continued in this same interview , adding of her controversial makeup line: “In the background, I have a big support team that’s out here working for me behind the scenes, and a lot of people don’t see that. I have to be a mom and live in North Carolina, but behind the scenes I am doing a lot.” This marks the first real job Jenelle has had since she was fired by MTV for Eason’s aforementioned murder and the subsequent removal of  her kids. Why anyone would take beauty advice from Jenelle Evans, well… that’s a different, confusing story. Evans and Eason — the latter of whom now MAKES WEAPONS FOR A LIVING — share a two-year old daughter named Ensley, while Evans coparents five-year old son Kaiser with her ex Nathan Griffith. For his part, Eason has custody of daughter Maryssa, 11, from a previous relationship. Those are a lot of mouths to feed. Or, in David’s case, a lot of young people to keep out of harm’s way — despite the fact that he’s typically the one causing said harm. Jenelle’s oldest son, Jace, is 10 years old. He has been residing with Evans’ mother, Barbara Evans, for many years now… and the former MTV personality announced her determination to regain custody of him as well. At some point. “Jace will remain with my mom, normal schedule every other weekend visits and two-week visits on school breaks,” she told Daily Champion in July. The North Carolina native went on to say that she wants to build a stronger relationship with Jace and earn full custody, but this may take  some time. View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans at New York Fashion Week: Yeah, I’m Fat … But I’m About to Be RICH! Eason, meanwhile, finally confessed this week that he really did kill the family’s French Bulldog, Nugget, several months ago. “It was a situation where my daughter, her health, her safety was in danger,” Eason just  told People Magazine, referencing Ensley. He added: “This was something that nobody wants to ever have to do. The dog was aggressive. Yes, she might not be huge or whatever, but you know when a dog bites a child on the face more than one time, then it should never be around the child again. “If you give the dog up for adoption, one day it’s going to be around children again. “If you call the authorities at that point, the law says the dog has to be euthanized. I’m not going to pay anyone to euthanize my dog when I could do it myself.” View Slideshow: Jenelle Evans Responds to Pregnancy Rumor with Four Candid Words In conclusion, David wants you to know that the animal massacre (he reportedly took Nugget into the woods and emptied the contents of his shotgun into the canine) tore him up inside. “I mean, I loved that dog,” Eason said, fighting back tears. “I still think about her every day. It’s really hard for me. A lot of people put me down for it, they hate me for it, but like I said, it was not something I wanted to do.”

Britney Spears’ Doctor Abruptly Dies Just Days Before Vital Testimony

After the frightening allegation of child abuse made public last week, fans hope that Jamie Spears will lose his convservatorship over Britney . But even as it looks like his tyrranical rule will come to an end, another complication has come up in the battle for Britney’s freedom. Just days before the court hears vital testimony, the doctor in charge of Britney’s care abruptly died. Dr. Timothy Benson was the psychiatrist responsible for Britney Spears’ long-term mental health care. On August 24, Benson passed away in Santa Monica. There has been no official release of the cause of death. But TMZ reports that, according to various sources, Benson died of an an aneurysm. The psychiatrist was 48 years old. So, within the next week or so, a court-appointed evaluator will deliver some important testimony. This is after spending three months burying themselves in all of the details of Britney’s life, care, health, and conservatorship.  The evaluator’s task was determining whether Britney’s healthcare was appropriate. (Or, rather, to present evidence and an expert opinion to the court so that the judge can make that determination) Obviously, Dr. Benson was extremely relevant to this topic before his extremely sudden passing last month. Raising questions about Britney’s medical care isn’t just some cheap tactic for discrediting Jamie Spears. Last spring, even Lynne expresed concerns, and filed with the court to remain in the loop on Britney’s health and treatments. Before that, Britney’s mom had never publicly expressed much interest in her daughter’s psychiatric care or conservatorship. Now, it doesn’t sound like she trusts Jamie to always act in Britney’s interests. She has even openly discussed what some would call conspiracy theories about the conservatorship manipulating Britney’s social media. The good news right now is that Jamie Spears will not be holding Britney’s leash for long. He has filed with the court to be relieved of conservatorship, passing down the reigns to Britney’s case manager, Jodi Montgomery. This move is temporary, for now, but has to do with the conservator being ultimately responsible for Britney’s children. You can’t responsibly look after Sean Preston and Jayden James if you’re not allowed near them. And Jamie is not permitted near them because he is under police investigation for allegedly assaulting Sean Preston. Child abusers should not be conservators, particularly when that means managing their alleged victims. Jodi is expected to remain in the conservatorship position until January, but it’s possible that Jamie will never regain that position. (Fingers crossed, folks!) One major factor will be the conclusions that the evaluator has drawn. (Not to speak ill of the dead, but Dr. Benson’s qualifications to treat Britney when he normally helps professional athletes … some people had questions) Another major factor will be the results of the criminal investigation into Jamie. Of course, given that the US justice system is genuinely not designed to protect children, the evaluator is more likely to have an impact. The #FreeBritney has been growing louder this year, arguing that her conservatorship has gone on longer than it should have. It’s not clear what “serious psychological problems” she may have that allegedly require a lifetime of micromanagement. Countless adults have psychiatric ailments and manage their own medications and behavior just fine. A lot of hopes from fans are riding on what the evaluator may have to say about what Britney really needs and whether she’s getting it. In the end, we all want what’s best for Britney and for her children. Of course, creepily, that’s probably what her terrible dad would say.

PETTY WAP: Fetty Wap 1738ly Asserts That He’s NOT The Father Of Alexis Skyy’s Baby Girl

Source: Prince Williams / Getty Fetty Wap Hints That Alexis Skyy’s Daughter Isn’t Biologically His There’s some pettiness going on between Fetty Wap and Alexis Skyy for the 1738th time. As previously reported rumors swirled that Fetty’s ex-girlfriend Alexis Skyy “lied” about the paternity of her child and her daughter was actually the offspring of her “Love & Hip Hop Hollywood” costar Solo Lucci, who fueled the rumors himself. Alexis was “humiliated” by the rumor and put an end to it by showing the results of a negative paternity test. She captioned the now-deleted post; “I have been humiliated, I have been disrespected, i have been harassed non f—ing stop about not knowing who my child’s father all because of Michael Dorsey AKA Solo Lucci continuing to spread this lie. I have been bullied nonstop, but TODAY this s— ENDS.” “I have never not known who my child’s father is,” Skyy added. “Ive been thru so much s— because of this. I have been called every disgraceful, disrespectful, hurtful word in the book. & It’s a shame that I had to go out of my way JUST to prove this to society what I BEEN telling everyone.”   Source: Prince Williams / Getty Now however there’s more paternity drama afoot and Fetty Wap is at the center of it. Fetty was on Instagram Live this weekend and hinted that Alexis’ daughter Alaiya “Lai Lai” Grace is NOT biologically his. After speaking on being there for Lai Lai’s birth and adding that he’ll always love her, Fetty told fans that he doesn’t feel a “biological” obligation to her. I’mma always love Lai Lai, I was there when she was born, I was there for her doctor’s appointments, me and her mother fell out but that ain’t got nothing to do with the baby,” said Wap. “When I feel like I want to be there, I’m going to be there. I’m gonna help. But as far as me going above my boundaries – nah. If it was biological with me, then it would be different.” WHERE IS MAURY?! Alexis has replied to Fetty Wap’s petty Instagram Live, hit the flip.

First Degree: Murder Charged Teen Daycare Worker Allegedly Kills 4-Month-Old “Fussy” Baby On Video

Source: Delaware Police Dept. / Mugshot Daycare Worker Arrested For Suffocating 4-Month-Old Baby Tragedy has struck a family in Delaware after a Daycare worker was seen allegedly suffocating a child to death on video. 19-year-old Dejoynay Ferguson “placed her hands over the victim’s mouth and nose and intentionally restricted her breathing until she became unresponsive,” Delaware State Police said in  a statement  Friday. According to Delaware Online , the death occurred at about 10:30 a.m. Thursday morning and there is a surveillance video of the incident. While wearing latex gloves, Ferguson picks up the 4-month-old child by the front of her shirt and place the baby on a changing table, according to court documents. The young woman could then be seen putting her hands on the child’s face for more than three minutes. After she removed her hands, the child was “unresponsive and motionless”. She then took the child and placed her in a crib, police said. 20 minutes after the child became unresponsive, a call to police was made by the daycare owner. Initially, the worker told police that she “grabbed” the child because they became fussy, which was not seen on the video. Dejoynay Ferguson was charged with first-degree murder this week.

Jojo Gets Sleazy of the Day

Chubby Jojo, the tween star from 20 years ago, who I assume is in her 30s now, loves her tits more than you do and is on a constant reminding of her tits mission. So to say she has no purpose in her riding her child star existence is to totally discredit the fact that any chance she gets to put her tits out there…she takes….even though her fanbase is all gay dudes who grew up on her as the perverts who considerd her Jailbait are still seeking the new jailbait and have forgotten they even jerked off to her….and this shameless attemp to win them back apparently works on me. Saving the internet one tit at a time of the day. The post Jojo Gets Sleazy of the Day appeared first on DrunkenStepFather.com .

Demi Lovato Posts Unedited Bikini Pic: I’m CelluLIT, Bishes!

It’s possible that no pop star in history has displayed more candor and openness over the course of their career than Demi Lovato. But it seems that despite admirable confessions about her substance abuse issues and eating disorders, the singer hasn’t always been completely honest with her fans — and she’s trying to correct that now. Back in May,  Demi posted some bikini pics  from her vacation to Bora Bora. But it seems those photos didn’t tell the whole story. Last night, in one of her most candid Instagram posts to date, Lovato revealed that the images had been retouched. She then revealed an unedited pic from the same vacation along with a lengthy caption describing her mindset: “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!!” Demi wrote. “I’m 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. This is what I got,” the 27-year-old added. “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.” (The “back on TV” comment seems to refer to Demi’s recurring role on the new season of Will & Grace .) “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,” she concluded. She added the hashtags: “#nationalcelulliteday #celluLIT” Is National Cellulite Day really a thing? It is now, muh f–kas! Of course, as many commenters have pointed out, Demi still possesses many of the qualities prized by Superficial America. In fact, if you subscribe to the Sir Mix-a-Lot school of aesthetics (and really, who doesn’t?), you may find this photo more appealing that Demi’s previous bikini pics . Really, what we’re looking at is an embarrassment of riches, and to some folks, Demi’s confessional caption might inspire about as much sympathy as the guy who complains that the vast estate he inherited in his youth often made him feel alienated from his peers. Still, our insecurities are our insecurities, and the effort to confront them head-on should always be applauded. Of course, Demi might not need any applause, as it appears she has no difficulty making it clap. We’ll show ourselves out.

Duggar Family: Still Abusing Kids With Parenting Methods?

Whether you're a fan of Counting On or you simply watch the Duggars from a safe distance out of morbid curiosity, you have some sense of who and what you're dealing with. Put another way, you're probably aware that the family's belief system, and by extension, their child-rearing methods have been a frequent source of controversy. Practices such as ” blanket training ” and other forms of systematic abuse have led to calls for boycotts and even demands for a full CPS investigation in the past. But the Duggars have refused to shy away or even issue a public apology, which isn't surprising – and now it looks like these lessons are being handed down. According to a report from In Touch Weekly , it looks as though the torch is being passed from one generation to the next, in disturbing fashion. Are Jim Bob and Michelle's grown children now  practicing the same techniques that were used to quite literally whip them into shape in their own youth? Understandably, fans are terrified that this continued behavior and methodology may eventually result in someone paying the ultimate price. 1. The Originators Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have strict views on child-rearing and family hierarchies that were formed in part by their involvement with the unfortunately-named Bill Gothard’s Institute for Basic Life Principles. 2. The Fallen Idol Those who follow Gothard may now that he got what was coming to him. He is now a disgraced former minister who was drummed out his own organization after being accused of abuse and sexual assault by dozens of employees. 3. The Stubborn Ones Despite the scandal, and attempts to distance themselves from him from an image standpoint, Jim Bob and Michelle have remained true to Gothard’s teachings, including two beliefs that have attracted a considerable amount of criticism in recent years. 4. Full Quivers Gothard is the originator of the Quiverfull Movement, which holds and practices the belief that women are put on this planet for the sole purpose of birthing as many children as possible. 5. A Dangerous Proposition This isn’t a vaguely-defined “the bigger family, the better” sort of deal. According to Gothard’s teachings, women are to continue having children until they literally cannot bear any more of them. That means they are expected to conceive well into middle-age, regardless of threats to their health or the health of their offspring. 6. Casting Pearls Before Swine It was also Gothard who directed Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to the controversial teachings of self-proclaimed child-rearing experts Debi and Michael Pearl.
