Bruce Jenner’s Ex-Wife Linda Claims He Wanted Gender Reassignment In 1980s It’s been a lonnnnng, long time comin’, but she knew change was gonna come… Via DailyMail At his lowest point in the 1980s, Bruce Jenner wanted to flee to Europe for gender reassignment surgery and return to America as his children’s Aunt Heather. That was around the time his young sons asked their mother why their father had breasts. As Diane Sawyer’s explosive tell-all with Bruce came to an end last night, his second wife published a blog detailing their love affair, idyllic marriage and the gender dysphoria revelations that led to their divorce after two sons and a seemingly picture perfect Malibu life. Linda Thompson, now 64, met Bruce at the Playboy mansion when he was separated from his first wife, Chrystie Crownover, the mother of his two eldest children. They fell in love and got married in Hawaii when she was already pregnant with their son Brandon. A few years later they welcomed a second son together, Brody. “Mommy, why daddy got dem tidday meats?” -Brody and Brandon Jenner But when Brody was 18 months old and Brandon was three, Bruce revealed to Linda the secret that he finally told the world Friday night. She was, she insists, blindsided. With a ‘somber look’ Bruce told Linda – who had braced herself for the revelation of perhaps an affair – that he identified as a woman. ‘What do you mean you identify as a woman?’ she recalled asking. ‘What does that mean? And just as he told Diane Sawyer, Bruce told his wife of four plus years that as long as he could remember, he felt wrong with the reflection staring back at him in the mirror. According to Linda, her handsome husband told her, ‘I have lived in the wrong skin, the wrong body, my whole life. It is a living hell for me, and I really feel that I would like to move forward with the process of becoming a woman, the woman I have always been inside.’ She insists she never saw it coming and there were no signs. Considering how (in)famous the Kardashians and the Jenners have become, we’re actually pretty surprised that Linda didn’t dropped this bomb a long time ago. Pretty sure Kris would have appreciated the heads up.
After months of rumors, it looks like it’s officially over between Leah Messer and Jeremy Calvert. Messer moved out on Calvert last week and today, In Touch is reporting that Calvert has filed for divorce at a West Virginia courthouse. Sadly, Leah’s problems don’t end there. Messer’s pain pill addiction has been the stuff of tabloid fodder for over a year, and now, sources say the troubled Teen Mom is finally seeking help. “She’s confessed to Jeremy that she has a problem, and knows she has no other choice than to go to rehab immediately,” a source says. “She won’t say she has a drug problem or needs rehab. She’s saying she’s going to go away to a ‘therapy intervention’ place for three or four weeks so she can find herself and help herself be a better person.” Insiders say they don’t believe Leah’s addiction was the final straw for Jeremy, as the two of them have been struggling for quite some time. Earlier this month, Leah and Jeremy spent their wedding anniversary apart , and Jeremy was photographed not wearing his wedding band. The difficulties reportedly began when Calvert accused Messer of cheating on social media. Though she later convinced him to give her a second chance, sources say the damage was already done, and Jeremy enjoyed the attention he received from other women while they were on a break.

Former Gossip Girl star Kelly Rutherford has lost her legal battle with ex-husband Daniel Giersch, with whom she has been battling over their two kids. The stakes were high. Helena and Hermes live abroad with their German-born father per a judge’s order, and despite Kelly’s efforts, it will stay that way. Although they have joint custody, Daniel has been denied the ability re-enter the U.S., and the court has ordered the children to live with him abroad. The rationale was that Kelly was able to freely travel, so she could go visit them. The actress has contested this but her legal challenge was denied. Not even dating Matthew Settle in real life can soften that blow. She said recently: “My children, not only were they taken away, but they were sent to a foreign country. I don’t know how you even explain to someone what it feels like.” “I could sit here and tell you how often a cry. I can tell you how it feels to leave my kids in a foreign country. ‘I told my son…’You know, mommy is still fighting for you.'” “To go see them after not seeing them for weeks on end … not being able to take them to school, pick them up from school, dress them, smell them, hug them.” It’s confusing, but Giersch was ordered to apply for another visa, but hasn’t done so. Kelly tried to go to federal court, but they said that since the children hadn’t been deported, they couldn’t intervene. Giersch’s attorney said in a statement: “Daniel Giersch continues to protect the children from any negativity and therefore will continue to not engage in any of these unfortunate and false media fabrications.” Fabrications, he says, “which only served one person, but clearly not the children.” This legal fight has been so long and costly that Kelly Rutherford is bankrupt or close to it as a result of the attorneys’ fees and time spent not working. How’s the rest of the Gossip Girl cast holding up these days? Let’s find out … View Slideshow: Gossip Girl Cast: Then & Now

Father And Seven Children Pass Away In Carbon Monoxide Leak Truly sad story. A Maryland father attempting to provide heat for his family after the electricity in their home had been shut off passed away along with all seven of his children after the in-home generator he was using malfunctioned, sending fatal carbon monoxide fumes coursing through the house. Via DailyMail : A Maryland father and his seven children were discovered dead Monday afternoon from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by a generator they were using after the power company had cut off their electricity, according to relatives. The tragic incident took place in Princess Anne – a community of 3,260 in Somerset County, Maryland. Princess Anne police stated in a press release to Daily Mail Online that no foul play was suspected in the deaths. Officers who responded to the home in the 30500 block of Antioch Avenue entered the residence and found the eight family members dead inside. Bonnie and Lloyd Edwards, encountered outside the home by a reporter from The Associated Press, identified themselves as the mother and stepfather of Rodney Todd, 36, whom they identified as the adult who died. They said Todd had seven children, including five girls and two boys. Lloyd Edwards revealed that Delmarva Power had cut off the electricity to the house because of an outstanding bill. Edwards said, ‘to keep his seven children warm, [Todd] bought a generator. It went out and the carbon monoxide consumed them.’ Truly tragic story. Our thoughts are with the remaining family at this time.
Florida mom Heather Hironimus is currently a fugitive from justice after she refused to submit to a judge’s order that her four-year-old son be circumcised. Last week, a Palm Beach County judge reportedly ordered Hironimus to hand over the boy for the increasingly controversial procedure. She declined. A warrant has been issued for her arrest, and her whereabouts are unknown. The woman’s attorneys say she and her son have checked into a domestic violence crisis shelter because the youngster is “terrified” of the circumcision. “The child is scared to death of the procedure and doesn’t want it,” attorney Thomas Hunker said, according to South Florida’s Sun-Sentinel newspaper. Hunker said “there have been no safeguards put in place to protect the child’s psychological and emotional condition with regards to this surgery.” The obvious question on everybody’s mind: How did it reach the point where the minor, whose name is Chase, was thrust into the national spotlight? Hironimus and the boy’s father, Dennis Nebus, squared off in court over the issue last month, according to media reports, and the judge took his side. While Hironimus and Nebus once agreed to have Chase circumcised, Heather changed her mind and has been battling his estranged father over it. Supporters of Heather’s contend that circumcision is a barbaric practice that Chase shouldn’t have to endure (or at least that he should get to decide). One group founded on behalf of her plight, called Chase’s Guardians, helped raise more than $35,000 online to pay for Hironimus’ attorneys’ fees. “We feel like this is our son,” Amber Baxley, founder of Chase’s Guardians, said. “We’re fighting tooth-and-nail against this abhorrent, disgusting decision.” Circumcision has become a polarizing and hotly-debated issue in recent years, and this is not the first case involving it to make national headlines. Most of the children involved were anonymous, however. Hironimus and her backers have (they claim out of necessity) made Chase a cause celebre. The mom’s lawyers have requested that a mental evaluation be done on Chase to see if he’s mentally and emotionally capable of enduring a circumcision. Just how common is the medical practice? It depends who you ask, but it’s clearly favored more by select people and in select places than others. Only about a third of all men across the world are circumcised, according to World Health Organization research, most often for non-medical reasons. Whether you agree with having it done or not, it seems pretty crazy that the boy and his mother could be ordered to do so by a judge, doesn’t it?

It’s been almost three months since Teresa Giudice reported to prison to begin serving a 15-month sentence on fraud charges. Her family life has been in turmoil from the day she got locked up, with rumors that Joe Giudice cheated on her being reported by every major tabloid. But for all the ways in which her family seems to be spinning out of control in her absence, some things steadfastly remain the same. For example, the feud between Melissa Gorga and Teresa shows no signs of going away. Gorga appeared on Good Day New York this morning, and naturally, the topic of how Teresa is adjusting to prison life came up. Melissa kept it positive but it was clear things are as between the sisters-in-law as they’ve always been. “She’s doing really well,” Melissa said at first. “It’s obviously not easy being away from the children. I think that’s the hardest part.” Gorga’s always been more diplomatic than Teresa, so it’s no surprise that she’s making it sound as though there’s no bad blood between them. Even when the interviewer presses Melissa and she reveals that she’s had zero contact with Teresa in the past three months, Melissa still attempts to spin things in Teresa’s favor. “I think she’s keeping her visits for her daughters,” says Melissa. “She’s seen Joe [Gorga] and she’s talked to Joe and she emails Joe. She’s always on the phone with her mother and her children.” So is sounds like she’s in regular contact with every single member of her family except for Melissa. Considering the last we heard from Teresa, she was telling Melissa to shut up about her daughters , we suppose that’s no much of a surprise. Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online for more of Melissa pretending to not hate Teresa’s guts. 11 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates 1.
