Keiynan Lonsdale Comes Out as Bisexual: Read His Moving Statement

Keiynan Lonsdale has an announcement to make. The actor, best known for his role on The Flash as Wally West, shared a lengthy Instagram post over the weekend in which he opened up about his personal life. Specifically, Lonsdale admitted that he’s attracted to both men and women. “I like to change my hair, I like to take risks with how I dress, I like girls, and I like guys (yes),” wrote the 25-year old star, who you may also recognize as Uriah from the movie Allegiant. He added on Saturday, May 13: “I like growing, I like learning, I like who I am and I really like who I’m becoming. “Spent way too many years hating myself, thinking I was less valuable because I was different … which is just untrue.” Lonsdale included the following photo with his announcement and went on to explain that a “couple years ago” he was “able to accept” himself. Wrote the star: “It saved my life, but now I’ve gotten to a new road block and I feel kind of lost. I gotta take the next step and actually embrace who I am, which is pretty exciting. “Not faking sh-t anymore, not apologizing for falling in love with people no matter their gender. I’ve become bored of being insecure, ashamed, scared.” Good. We admire Lonsdale for fully embracing who he really is. Along with the aforementioned television and film role, the 25-year old has appeared on TV shows All Saints and Dance Academy, along with the movies Insurgent and The Finest Hours. He concluded in his Instagram post that no one should be ashamed about who they are. Quite the opposite, in fact. “More and more I see so many young people being their best / truest selves, it’s f-cking inspiring … so what have I been waiting for!? Who knows. “Everyone in their own time. I hope we can all learn to embrace who we are and not judge people who aren’t exactly the same as us. “The truth is we are all family, we’re all one.” Amen, right? Fortunately, yes, right: a significant number of social media users have come out and offered their support to Keiynan Lonsdale. “U DESERVE ALL THE GOD DAMN LOVE IN THE UNIVERSE,” read one enthusiastic response, while another follower chimed in as follows: “The love is beyond measurable.” View Slideshow: 35 Bisexual Celebrities Click above for a look at other celebrities who have openly embraced their bisexuality and join us in saluting the bravery of Keiynan Lonsdale.

Mama June: Is She Going to Be the Next Bachelorette?!

Mama June has had a busy couple of years, huh? In 2014, she and Sugar Bear decided to take some time apart in their relationship, and just a couple of months later she was dating convicted child molester Mark McDanie l. Her relationship with McDaniel caused TLC to pull the plug on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, leaving the family without a reality show and a steady paycheck. A year later, Mama June and Sugar Bear decided to give love one more chance on Marriage Boot Camp, where we learned that Sugar Bear cheated . A  lot . She laid low for a while after that, but as we all know, she landed one more reality show with Mama June: From Not to Hot, where she's been losing so much weight and getting so much plastic surgery.

Jenna Jameson Gives Birth; Find Out Her Baby’s Name and Gender!

Jenna Jameson just put her vagina to important use once again. But in a very different capacity than the way in which this ex-porn star did for so many years. Inappropriate references aside, the precious point is this: Jameson is a brand new mother! She just gave birth to a baby girl!!!!!! Already the other to twin eight-year old boys, Jameson and fiancé Lior Bitton confirmed their exciting news a few hours ago on Instagram. “Baby arrived momma did amazing job, everyone healthy and happy,” Bitton shared from the hospital on his social media account, adding: “God bless you @jennacantlose you are a warrior! I love you.” Jameson later shared the first photo of her daughter online, revealing her unique name in the process: Batel Lu Bitton. “I am so proud to introduce everyone to my newborn daughter! Her name is Batel Lu Bitton. She was born at 8lbs exactly and 21 inches long,” Jameson captioned the adorable image below. Added the famous blonde: “She is so calm and graceful it’s hard to look at her not feel overwhelmed. I had a very long labor (12 hours) and pushed for an intense 22 minutes. “We are head over heels in love with her welcome to the world little star, Mommy loves you.” Prior to giving birth, Jameson kept followers well apprised of her pregnancy, often flaunting her impressive baby bump as it grew over the weeks and months. “I thought my belly had leveled off last week… I was wrong,” she recently wrote online. “I’m 9 months pregnant, and feeling so blessed because this little one is thriving! “This time with my twins, I had already delivered, so it feels so good to keep this little star baking!!!!!” Back in August of last year, Jameson confirmed she was expecting her third child. Her cute twin boys are the product of her past relationship with MMA fighter Tito Ortiz. At this point in her life, the star is quite content with the family and friends she keeps close to her. And that holds especially true for her fiance. “Wow baby, thank you so much for this mind blowing ‘push present.’ You are such a gift from G-d, I’m blessed I have you @liorbitt,” Jameson wrote on Instagram while showing a new sports can five weeks ago. “But remember, your generosity isn’t why I love you, you’re the kind of man that I KNOW I can count on, and THAT is worth more than anything.” Jenna concluded at the time: “I am so happy I have an amazing husband, phenomenal friends and family, the gift of sobriety and a little angel on the way. Thank you Lior for helping me find my way. #maybach.” View Slideshow: Celebrity Babies: Who Became Parents in 2017?

Amber Portwood: Struggling with Weight Gain and Mental Illness

Sometimes it seems like Amber Portwood just can’t catch a break. Between her issues with addiction, the hard reality that comes with being a teen mom (and a Teen Mom), and, you know, Matt Baier , things have always looked kind of rough for her. To add onto her pile of hardships, she’s also got a number of mental illnesses: she’s been open about her anxiety and her bipolar disorder, and more recently she’s been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder . It’s a lot to deal with, and as Amber reveals in a new interview with Women’s Health, she doesn’t deal with it all that well at times. She says that she spent a good part of 2015 losing weight that she’d steadily gained after getting sober, and she got down to 130 pounds, which was a good weight for her. But then, in 2016, she found herself profoundly depressed. So much so that Matt had to drag her out of bed. She went to see a psychiatrist, which is when she received the borderline personality diagnosis. “When I got the diagnosis,” she says, “I wanted to keep it a secret.” “While everyone knew about my other diagnoses — I’ve had anxiety since I was a kid, for as long as I can remember — I guess it was tragic to think I had another mental disorder.” For a while, Matt was the only person who knew, and he actually accompanied her to one of her appointments so her doctor could talk to him. When Amber was told that she’d most likely be on medications to deal with her mental disorders for the rest of her life, she broke down, but she says Matt was there to hold her hand. Matt Baier, doing something sweet and not completely creepy ? The mind boggles. Amber was put on some new medications, including a mood stabilizer. She says she’s happy with what she’s on because she feels “amazing and normal” now, and her meds aren’t ones she can get addicted to. But when she started the meds, she got “cravings like crazy,” and she also got “very tired.” And neither of those things are good for weight loss. In that time, she gained back all the weight she’d worked so hard to lose months before. She tried a no-carb, no-sugar diet — the diet that helped her lose the weight in the first place — but it didn’t work for her. As of now, she’s lost 10 pounds, and though there’s “extra pressure” to lose more weight for her wedding in October (gag), “I’m using that as motivation.” The whole point of sharing her story, she says, is because so many medications for mental illnesses cause weight gain. “For women who are suffering from mental health issues, I want them to know that other people are going through the same thing,” she explains. “And you don’t have to do this alone.” You’re a gem, Amber. You really are. Now drop Matt Baier and own it.

Blac Chyna: Cashing In On Dream Kardashian ALREADY?!

From the moment the world learned that  Blac Chyna was dating Rob Kardashian , it was rumored that the relationship was nothing more than an act of supreme gold-digging. The most cynical theorists maintained that Blac was after far more than just Rob’s money. Many believed both then and now that she was playing the long con – pursuing the wealth and fame that she could attain only by acquiring Rob’s iconic last name for herself. These days it’s hard to see the relationship as anything other than a semi-failed cash-grab executed by Blac. She even filed papers to change her name to Angela Kardashian , despite the fact that she and Rob never reached the point of setting a wedding date. But Blac hasn’t given up on her efforts to cash in on the Kard clan’s lucrative moniker. After all, she now has ties to the family that are more powerful than a marriage certificate. We’re talking, of course, about Blac and Rob’s daughter, Dream Kardashian. Dream is only four months old, but when you’re born to two parents who make their bucks off social media, you start earning from day one. According to a new report published by TMZ, Blac stopped by a government buikding in Los Angeles yesterday to ensure that both of her kids are legally allowed to start bringing in the bucks. It was initially thought that Blac went to the office to settle a legal beef. (She’s reportedly had problems with both of her baby daddies in recent weeks, and sources say Tyga is behind on child support payments.) But now the site’s sources are claiming that Blac was actually securing work permits Dream and 4-year-old King Cairo. Yes, at 4 months and 4 years old respectively, Blac’s kids can now legally be paid for on-camera appearances in the state of California. It may sound a bit icky, but it’s sort of a necessity. After all, they’ll almost certainly continue to make occasional appearances on Kardashian-related reality shows, and you can’t blame Blac for making sure her kids get paid. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: A Turbulent Timeline of Doom But you can still blame her for getting engaged to and impregnated by a guy because his sisters are famous. That part is still super gross and weird.

Kailyn Lowry Baby Daddy Bombshell: Who is It NOT?

Kailyn Lowry might be ready to pop. But she still isn’t ready to reveal the name of the man who fathered her third child. Ever since the Teen Mom 2 star surprised fans via a blog entry that confirmed she was pregnant with yet another child, Internet users from coast to coast have asked the same thing… … WHO IS KAILYN LOWRY’S BABY DADDY ? To date, the candidates appear to be following individuals, with odds made up by The Hollywood Gossip in parenthesis: Tyler Hill (15-1). A former classmate of Lowry’s at Delaware State University, little is known about Hill, other than the fact that he was rumored to have slept with Lowry back when she was married to Javi Marroquin. According to his Instagram page, Tyler is an “aspiring actor/director/producer” and also a “college grad.” JC Cueva (10-1). A producer on Teen Mom 2, Cueva would absolutely be fired if Kailyn confirmed the two slept together, let alone that he knocked her up. This would explain why Lowry has been so silent on the topic. But Kailyn having the child of a Teen Mom 2 producer would simply be too good and too juicy to be true. We can’t let ourselves think this is really a possibilitiy. Chris Lopez (5-1). A source claims that Kailyn is expecting the baby of a long-time “friend,” and Lopez fits this bill. Fans grew suspicious of him as the baby daddy after Lopez Tweeted about his “miracle child. The Tweet has since been deleted, but not before Kailyn acknowledged the message via a “Favorite.” Now, though, a Twitter user named Traci Ansley has raised another option. She’s contacted Lowry to ask if some dude named “Cabrell” is responsible for the son or daughter growing in her womb? And Kailyn wasted no time in setting this record straight, replying as follows: Our research indicates that Cabrell is another student at Delaware State University, the same school from which Lowry is slated to graduate this coming May. She’ll probably give birth around this same time. Kailyn is yet to reveal her due date and says she’s waiting to find out the baby’s gender until he or she enters the world. But that doesn’t mean the reality star is remaining completely silent on the issue. Just yesterday, she shared a few sonogram photos on Instagram, writing as a caption how she “can’t wait” to be a mother again. At what point will we learn the identity of her latest baby daddy? It’s hard to say. We can rule out Jo Rivera, with whom Kailyn shares a seven-year old son named Isaac. And we can definitely rule out Marroquin, with whom Kailyn shares a three-year old son named Lincoln. “People are asking her daily, dying to find out the name of the daddy and the gender of the baby,” a source tells In Touch Weekly, adding: “She is simply not ready to share that information. The news will likely come out at some point, because the cameras will probably be rolling again soon.” View Slideshow: Teen Mom & Teen Mom 2: The Complete Babies and Children Guide! Ah, yes. Cameras. So if you watch Teen Mom 2 online or on television, you’ll at least learn the baby daddy’s name at some point. We’ll do all we can to uncover this piece of information in the meantime, but at least we can take comfort in knowing the secret can’t remain secret forever.

Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald: See Their First Family (of Four) Photo!

It’s 2 & Counting for Jessa Duggar and her husband Ben Seewald who welcomed a baby boy – their second son – earlier this week. While we still don’t know the name of Spurgeon’s little brother (it’s possible Jessa and Ben don’t), we have seen a photo and video. And now, a photo of the new family of four!  The couple welcomed their newborn son Monday, and his big brother Spurgeon, 15 months, is supposedly super excited about this. To the point that he understands, at least. If you watch Counting On online , you know full well that they didn’t reveal the gender until the little boy entered the world at 4:26 a.m. Weighing in 8 lbs. and 11 oz. and measuring 21 3/4 in. long, he was a good-sized boy like his brother, and he and his mom are healthy. “Mom and baby are both doing well,” said the duo in a statement that morning. “We are so thankful to God for this precious new gift of life.” “We are excited to be a family of four!” And here are those four together … Jessa, 24, and Ben, 21, who have been married since November 2014, have also been open about their desire to adopt in the future. Her recent labor may fuel that too. “I was teasing him when I was in labor,” Jessa recalls. “I don’t really think I was teasing, actually, I told him while I was in labor.” “‘Babe, we are not having any more kids after this,'” she recalls telling Ben in the head of the moment. “We are adopting all the rest!” We find it hard to believe that they’re done with biological kids already, but Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald adopting is not a new topic. The couple has discussed since before Spurgeon was born, and having now been married two years, state policies will be more favorable. Tired but beaming Jessa and Ben also introduced their second child on video  today, proudly showing him off to fans for the first time. Jessa said in the aforementioned video, which you can watch via the link above, that she couldn’t be happier to have a second son: “We are so excited to introduce our little baby boy to the world. I think it’s really awesome that we have two little boys so close together in age.” “I know they’re going to be best friends and love growing up and doing everything together, so I’m looking forward to seeing that. “I know Ben’s probably going to have them out in the backyard playing football in the next couple of years!” Jessa added of their son. They did know it was a son, BTW. They just didn’t share. “It was definitely a challenge trying to keep the gender a secret,” added Ben, who says this one will likely also end up with a unique name. Just like the first one, they haven’t settled on anything. Ben and Jessa famously didn’t reveal Spurgeon’s name for days … because until he was born and they got to know him, he didn’t have one. It looks like this time, they’re repeating that pattern. “When the baby was finally born and we got to hold him for the first time, I started crying,” said Jessa. “I think Ben had tears in his eyes.” “We want to thank everyone for their love and prayers and support for us during this labor and delivery,” added Jill’s younger sister. Amusingly, fans and several Duggar family members themselves tried to guess the gender and they overwhelmingly predicted a girl. So much for those old wives tales about the size and position of a pregnant woman’s stomach giving away the gender, are we right? Naturally, fans have been making predictions online regarding the name as well, but we doubt anyone will get it right for obvious reasons. Need we remind you their first pic was Spurgeon? In any case, all of us at THG are thrilled for the couple, and are setting the over/under on their next baby’s arrival at January 5, 2019.  Those adoption papers take awhile, you know?

Pink Welcomes Baby #2: See the First Photo!

Pink officially has a reason to sing a very happy tune: The singer is a mother. For the second time! The artist announced on Twitter late Wednesday that she and husband Carey Hart have welcomed their second child, a son named Jameson Moon Hart. He came into the world on Monday, December 26. “I love my baby daddy,” the singer captioned a photograph of Hart holding their newborn. And here is that photograph… that totally adorable photograph! Pink and Hart are already parents to a five-year old girl named Willow Sage. Way back in 2010, while expecting their first child, Pink told Access Hollywood that she and her husband of a decade did, indeed, love the name Jameson for a boy. “My dad’s name is James, and my brother’s name is Jason,” Pink said at the time. “[Carey and I] are both Irish, Carey’s middle name is Jason, and Jameson – we like whiskey. That’s a no brainer.” It’s true: Jameson is very, very good. Pink also shared a second picture of her son, simply writing “Jameson Moon Hart 12.26.16” as a caption to the precious image. Here it is: Just last month, Pink took to Instagram  to confirm her pregnancy, writing “Surprise!” alongside a photo of Willow nuzzling against her mom’s fairly large baby bump. A month later, Pink gave us a glance at her even bigger baby bump ( while topless! ), making fans especially excited for the baby to come. “the snuggle is real
