Lady Gaga continues to receive rave reviews for her role in A Star is Born. But the singer took a moment on Monday and acknowledged the special role someone else is playing in her life right now.] That is, she confirmed that she's engaged to Christian Carino. This is not a shocking piece of news to anyone who reads The Hollywood Gossip. We wrote about Gaga's plans to marry Carino back in November of 2017. However, the artist is famously private and had not said a word about this relationship until she spoke this week at Elle‘s 25th Annual Women in Hollywood Celebration at Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles. The topic of Gaga's speech was a very serious one. She opened up to the crowd about having been sexually assaulted in the past, saying on stage: “What does it really mean to be a woman in Hollywood? We are not just objects to entertain the world. We are not simply images to bring smiles or grimaces to people's faces. “We are not members of a giant beauty pageant meant to be pit against one another for the pleasure of the public. We women in Hollywood, we are voices.” Gaga added: “As a woman who lives with chronic pain, as a woman who was conditioned at a very young age to listen to what men told me to do, I decided today I wanted to take the power back. “Today I wear the pants.” Amen, right? While this message is vitally important, it's almost being overshadowed in the celebrity gossip world by the fact that Gaga also referenced talent agent Christian Carino as her “fiance” at one point. The two started dating in February of last year and, as far as we know, got engaged about nine months later. Carino was on hand to support Gaga ahead of her Super Bowl LI halftime performance in Houston in 2017, where the couple was photographed cuddling on the field. But they have mostly kept a very low profile throughout their romance. Check out the video here to listen to Gaga both name check her future husband AND say some inspiring words about victimhood.
Selena Gomez suffered an emotional breakdown during her battle with lupus, and had to be hospitalized as a result. As it turns out, her very much engaged ex Justin Bieber is feeling wrecked over her current health. Despite his engagement, he’s said to be feeling “confused.” According to what a pair of sources tell E! , Selena Gomez’s emotional breakdown and subsequent hospitalization is just too much for the Biebs. An insider reports that Justin feels “conflicted and confused” over his own feelings. “They have both had emotional struggles,” a source explains. Justin’s angry outbursts over the years were well documented, and people close to him have spoken openly about his past struggles with substances. “And,” an insider details, Justin and Selene “bonded over that in the past.” Now, however, things are different. Even if Justin wanted to come rushing to her side, that doesn’t seem likely. “Justin and Selena are not in touch,” a source makes clear. That’s no surprise. For one thing, Selena is cut off from all but a few trusted individuals. “But,” an insider notes. “Him hearing the news about Selena definitely upsets him.” “Justin,” a source adds. “Also feels guilty.” Apparently, it is Justin’s innate nurturing nature, rather than merely their lengthy relationship history, that has him deep in his feelings. “He wants to help everyone,” an insider says. Awww. Bless his heart. A source insists that “he truly wants Selena to be happy.” “And,” an insider explains. “It’s upsetting to know she’s battling health issues.” That makes a lot of sense. it’s upsetting to us that Selena is going through all of this, too. Justin has admittedly “been very emotional” since this news broke. However, insiders make it very clear that he is taking his engagement to Hailey “very seriously.” In other words, don’t expect him to drop her and go running back to Selena. To him, a promise to get married is sacred. In fact, a source says that Justin raced to the altar with Hailey in an effort to “show her he was serious this time.” Ah, yes — the best possible reason to marry someone is to prove a point. So it sounds like Justin and Hailey’s engagement — or marriage , depending upon whom you ask — is secure for now. But how is Selena doing? An insider reveals that Selena is “already feeling better” now that she is receiving treatment. Selena is “getting the help she needs,” a source affirms. Lupus is already a hell of a thing, but we’re glad that she’s getting emotional support as she copes with it. “Depression is something she’s always struggled with,” an insider explains. That makes sense. Tens of millions of Americans cope with depression every day. “But whenever it gets really bad for Selena,” a source details. “She removes herself from social media.” Shortly before her breakdown, Selena took a step back from Instagram . “And,” an insider continued, Selena then “withdraws from people who aren’t a handful of the people she trusts.” That is a smart policy. Don’t over extend yourself when you are at your lowest point. View Slideshow: 27 Celebrities Who Suffer From Mental Illness
Khloe Kardashian was swelling with both maternal and auntly pride when she shared a photo of five Kardashian babies in one spot . But, according to a new report, it turns out that her private life is being dictated by her fears about True’s future. Is Khloe clinging to Tristan because she worries that, if she leaves him, he’ll abandon True, too? RadarOnline reports that Khloe is clingy with her cheating baby daddy for one reason and one reason only. “Khloe’s worst nightmare is that Tristan will be an absent father to True,” the insider reveals. The report is quick to make it clear that Khloe is still dating him for her own reasons. “She loves him,” the source clarifies. “But,” the insider continues. “The reason she’s clingy is because she doesn’t want him to be a part-time dad to True.” Khloe’s fear is apparently that Tristan will be an absentee father to True “like he is to his son.” Tristan’s son, of course, is one-year-old Prince. Jordan Craig, pictured above wearing red, is Tristan’s ex. This report claims that Tristan doesn’t make time for his ex’s kid in the way that he does for his current woman’s child. The source says that Tristan only sees Prince “every now and then.” Apparently, photos like this one of Tristan with both of his children, symbolize what is most important to Khloe. “Every time Tristan brought gifts home for True,” the insider says. “Khloe reminded him to send some to Prince.” It is heartbreaking to hear even an unverified report that a father had to be reminded about one of his children. “She wanted him to spoil his son the same way he spoiled True,” the source explains. Good for Khloe. You should always love your children, not just whichever one happens to be in front of you at the time. Apparently Khloe’s concerns have a lot to do with her own issues. We hate to call them “daddy issues” because it’s sounds dismissive, but … they’re daddy issues. “Khloe was devastated when her dad died,” the source explains. “And,” the insider continues, Khloe “wants True and Tristan to have a strong bond.” Khloe wants Tristan and True to have a relationship “like she did with her dad, no matter what.” Robert Kardashian’s death was heartbreaking for his entire family. He was a good man who adored his children. Since the first — at the time, unfathomable — reports came out back in April that Khloe had not dumped Tristan’s cheating ass, people have wondered why. Even then, people suspected that Khloe’s own issues related to her late father made her reluctant to break up with Tristan. Some children are happy that their parents divorced, others simply adjust or cope. But others will spend their lives believing that it should never have happened. Did Khloe refuse to break up in the first place because her own experience with divorce made her believe that True needs both parents? We suspect that, on some level, even Khloe couldn’t answer that with absolute certainty. Is this report true? We … kind of hope not. Don’t get us wrong, it would totally explain why Khloe has remained with the man who humiliated her in front of the world at such a critical moment in their relationship. But the report almost suggests that Khloe is using her affections to secure a father figure for True. A real father — which we would like to believe that Tristan is — wouldn’t need Khloe’s smothering attention to remind him of either of his children. If he really can’t be a good dad on his own, then tricking him into doing it isn’t doing True any favors. View Slideshow: Tristan Thompson: CAUGHT with Two New Women!

You probably know Pauly D from his long tenure as arguably Jersey Shore ‘s most charismatic cast member. Pauly provides the much-needed comic relief that balances out the constant high-stakes drama endured by Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Mike Sorrentino. Without Pauly D’s levity and quotable catchphrases, the Sunday sauce of Jersey Shore becomes overwhelmed by the bitter and sour notes that too often dominate his castmates’ storylines. But Pauly is different from the rest of the guidos, and not only in the sense that he’s more apt to make viewers laugh than cringe. Unlike most wildly successful reality stars, Mr. DelVecchio has a legitimate career that he seems to take even more seriously than his TV gig. Yes, as you probably already know Pauly D is a DJ. What you may not have realized, however, is that Pauly brokers absolutely no BS from haters throwing shade at his turntable skills. Pauly recently posted a photo in which he can be seen working the crowd up as the assembled EDM fans dance to his music. One of Pauly’s followers called shenanigans and was promptly put in his place. “Who’s playing??? Dude youre fake,” the hater commented. Always quick with a comeback, Pauly didn’t miss a beat in responding: “Your wife, she takes over the table when I jump on stage,” DelVecchio shot back. “She’s the best.” Or as Pauly himself would put it: Vinny Guadagnino Roasts Angelina Pivarnick “Ooooooooooooooooooooooooh! That was a good one.” As for how the rest of the Shore family is holding up since the second installment of Family Vacation wrapped — well, it’s kind of a mixed bag. Jenni Farley is getting divorced from Roger Mathews, a development that’s seriously bummed out viewers, as Roger was a longtime fan favorite. Mike Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months in prison for tax fraud, which actually isn’t as bad as it sounds, when you consider dude was facing two years. And as far as we can tell, Ronnie is back together with Jen Harley, a situation that seems sure to end in disaster. But hey, at least Vinny is still sticking to his carb-free lifestyle. As Pauly himself would say, “Yeah, Keto Guido!” View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?
Source: Al Bello / Getty The parents of a young women who believe R. Kelly has brainwashed their daughter and is holding her captive have created a hotline for other women who may have fallen victim to the singer. According to Mic , Tim and Jonjelyn Savage have been bombarded with calls from nearly 80 women and parents with their own stories of abuse by the Pied Pier after a 2017 Buzzfeed article was published with accusations against the singer. After time, the Savages noticed a disturbing trend: So many of these callers were afraid to go public. So they created a “R. Kelly abuse hotline” last week to create a safe space for people to come forward, speak their truth and to leave a message going into detail about their allegations against the “I Believe I Can Fly” singer. “One reason I feel that he’s been getting away with a lot of the allegations for the last two decades is because people feel he has money and power and they don’t have the resources to fight him,” Mrs. Savage explained. READ MORE: EXCLUSIVE: Lawyer To Family Whose Daughter Is Allegedly Being Held Captive By R. Kelly Speaks Out About New Song In addition, the Savages hope that this influx of callers will allow for them to build an even stronger case against R. Kelly. “There’s no age limit on being mind-controlled, drugged, brainwashed, there’s no age limit on that,” Mrs. Savage said. “So the more we have more young ladies or even men, or parents that are willing to speak out, the more we think it can help our daughter as well as helping other victims.” As we previously reported , the Savages told Buzzfeed last they haven’t seen their daughter Jocelyn since December 2016 and haven’t spoken to her on the phone since December 2017. Shortly after, Joycelyn told TMZ that her parents’ claims were false and that she willingly stays in a relationship with the singer. As we all know, the Savages claims are not new or rare when it comes to the Grammy winner. For decades R. Kelly has been accused of predatory behavior , especially among African-American women and girls. He is also facing a lawsuit that claims the 51-year-old knowingly transmitted an STD to a women he began dating when she was 19 and he as been accused of cultivating a “sex cult” abusing multiple women. That, and there was that damning documentary on BBC3, R Kelly: Sex, Girls and Videotapes, where former girlfriend Kitty Jones says that Kelly introduced her to a girl whom he had allegedly “trained” since she was 14. “I saw that she was dressed like me, that she was saying the things I’d say and her mannerisms were like mine,” Jones said in the film. “That’s when it clicked in my head that he had been grooming me to become one of his pets. He calls them his pets.” READ MORE: R. Kelly’s ‘I Admit’ Song Is Unhealed Word Vomit We Just Don’t Want R. Kelly has denied all sexual assault, kidnapping and sex cult accusations. This past summer, he released a new song addressing the sexual assault, pedophilia and sex cult allegations that have been circling around him for more than two decades. And while the title of the song, “I Admit” gives off the impression that the Pied Piper has finally come clean about his alleged predatory behavior, it’s quite the opposite. In the 19-minute track, Kelly denies all illegal allegations, going as far as to say that the people accusing him are lying and are only doing so to extort money and ruin his career. He also painted a picture of being a victim of sorts, claiming that he was sexually assaulted as a young child, is basically illiterate and has perhaps battled with drug addiction.

OK, so Catelynn Lowell spent a good long while in rehab a while back. We all remember how this went down, but just in case your memory is a little fuzzy, let’s do a quick little recap. Last fall, she and Tyler Baltierra decided it was time to have another child, and she got pregnant pretty fast after they made that decision. Unfortunately, she had a miscarriage . And it was very, very hard on her. She began contemplating suicide, but before acting on anything, she told her family, and they helped her check into a treatment center in Arizona. She spent about six weeks there, missing Thanksgiving and Christmas, then came home. But as we saw last season on Teen Mom OG, she really wasn’t feeling much better. In one scene, Catelynn explained to Tyler that she was still very depressed and anxious, and that she felt like she needed to go back to Arizona. The choice caused a bit of strain on their marriage, from what was shown on Teen Mom. He tried to convince her to do some therapy and stay at home instead, but she refused to do that. Instead, she dropped their daughter, Nova, off at daycare without telling her that she’d be gone again, then left. After six more weeks, she came home , and that’s a bit of what we’ll see in the next episode. In the beginning of this new sneak peek, Catelynn explains in a voiceover that she’s only been home for a few days at this point. Catelynn Lowell: Neglecting Her Daughter After Coming Home from Rehab? “It’s been an adjustment,” she admits, “but I really appreciate Tyler taking care of everything while I was gone.” Then we see Catelynn and Tyler playing with Nova, and he asks Cate if anything’s different now that she’s home. “She won’t leave me alone,” Catelynn says, referring to Nova. It’s not the greatest thing to say, especially considering that so many fans thought she seemed too detached with her kid in earlier episodes. Tyler doesn’t seem to love the comment either. “Mom comes back and it’s like ‘Dad who? That guy who has all the stupid rules?'” he says. “‘Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom,” Catelynn mocks. Yeah, it’s really not sounding so good. Later, Catelynn visits with a friend named Hayley who kicks off their chat by asking her how she’s been. She reveals that she has been a bit anxious, but that she feels it’s normal in life to feel a little anxiety from time to time. Hayley tells her that she seems happier than ever, and she agrees, which is nice. She also tells Catelynn that she’s probably more in love with Tyler than ever, after how much he’s supported her. “Oh my god, yeah,” she agrees. “As a husband and wife, man, you say it in your vows, through sickness and in health, for richer or poorer.” “It’s like, you gotta stand by each other, and he totally did.” Hayley pumps Tyler up even more — he’s not even there, by the way. “Yeah, he’s awesome,” Cate replies. Except she doesn’t sound super convinced. We know that Catelynn and Tyler went through some things after she came back from rehab. He’s said that he was “repulsed” by her behavior while she was in treatment, and that couldn’t have been easy for her to hear. We imagine that as the season goes on, we’ll see more of their issues, but so far … It’s honestly looking kind of bad. And, judging by the comments left when MTV shared this sneak peek on Facebook, most Teen Mom fans are just completely over Catelynn in general. “She is a horrible human,” one person wrote. “To complain how your daughter is showering you with attention because you left her for months on end, how pathetic.” And that was the top comment, so … Another commenter asked “How many times does Tyler have to stand by you before you act on his feelings instead of it being all about you?” One person said that they were “glaring at how Nova noticed her mom mocking her desperate need for attention and validation.” Things got especially savage when someone else said that “I think she’s just a failure of a mother and uses her illnesses as a way to escape to rehab.” The comments go on and on and on like that, about what an awful mother she is and how Tyler needs to leave her. View Slideshow: Catelynn Lowell: SLAMMED By Fans For “Selfish” and “Unsafe” Behavior Lots of people also seem concerned that she’s expecting another child now , since they think she’s so cold with Nova already. Honestly, it’s a real bad time to be Catelynn Lowell right now.
(Photo by Noam Galai/Getty Images) R. Kelly’s Alleged Abuse Victim’s Parents Create “R. Kelly Abuse Hotline” It seems like the parents of one of R. Kelly’s alleged victims are deciding to take matters into their own hands. Timothy and Jonjelyn Savage, the parents of Jocelyn Savage, who have accused the singer of holding their daughter hostage-have reportedly created an “abuse hotline” for other victims like their daughter who claim they have been victimized by Kelly. According to Vibe , the hotline was set up after the Savages were contacted by over 80 women or their parents claiming that they have also unwillingly had sexual/violent interactions with R. Kelly from over the years. Savage’s mother has been screening messages left on the hotline to filter out prank calls and documenting the more serious offenses.
