90 Day Fiance alum Larissa Lima has admitted that marrying boyfriend Eric would be her dream come true . But for now, she's trying to work on her health — her mental and emotional well-being. Larissa recently revealed that she has been grappling with depression and anxiety for over a year. She's tried to resolve it herself, but nothing so far has worked. Now, she's prepared to seek real treatment — and you may be surprised at who's reportedly footing the bill. 1. Oh no, Larissa Last week, Larissa Lima posted and deleted a very heartfelt message about her mental and emotional health — and what she’s doing to remedy it. 2. She’s grappled with depression for over a year “I was devastated, emotionally exhausted, and my entire body ached from depression,” Larissa reveals, recalling the aftermath of her arrest in June 2018. 3. And THIS may explain some of her behavior “Sometimes, I was filmed while being on pain killers,” Larissa now admits. 4. She wasn’t especially functional Larissa describes: “I couldn’t move, do basic activities, or take care of myself.” 5. It sounds like Colt was a huge factor in her misery “You all know how my marriage started, ” Larissa says, referring to how Colt seduced her online but how life with him was nothing like she had expected and how his demeanor was suddenly much less charming — especially when cameras were not rolling. 6. She has more to say She continues, referring to her marriage: “and how it ended in the worst of ways.” Larissa and Colt’s marriage didn’t just end in divorce, but with a scary bloody fight. Larissa’s face was smeared in her own blood and her torso was covered with injuries, but Colt called the police first and she was the one arrested — yet again. View Slideshow
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.

Before we even start this post, we just want to say the following: We’re not crying. YOU’RE crying, okay?!? We just wanted to get that straight. Married at First Sight and The Bachelor alum Jamie Otis announced on Friday night that she is pregnant with a rainbow baby, just a few months after she and husband Doug Hehner suffered a miscarriage . This January 2019 followed a miscarriage Otis also suffered in September of last year. The couple has been through a great deal, but they now have a new reason to maintain hope. Otis and Hehner confirmed their major news on the latter’s podcast, “Hot Marriage. Cool Parents,” telling listeners that they’re expecting their second child … again. Jamie also revealed on Instagram that she is at least four weeks along — the earliest a pregnancy can be detected on a blood test — and included photos of her and her spouse holding a sonogram, which depicts what looks to be the beginning of a gestational sac. “We went to the fertility specialist and found out WE ARE PREGNANT!!!” Otis wrote as a caption. She continued: “I cannot even believe it!…after 18 long, painful months, two losses and negative after negative on the pregnancy tests we are *finally* pregnant again! “Of course I am being cautiously optimistic, but I have a feeling this little one is going to stick.” The sad truth is that most miscarriages take place within the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. So there’s still a chance Jamie and Doug lose this baby. Otis proceeded to delve into personal detail of her and the child growing inside of her, writing: “The only thing is, yesterday the nurse called and said my blood work came back a bit different than anticipated. “Based on my last period, I should be about 4 weeks along. The blood work to support this would look like this: progesterone 8-10 & HCG 50-300. “My blood work came back like this: progesterone 51 & HCG 1,441 !!! “This means that I’m either further along OR I could potentially have TWINS! (They said it’s most likely I’m further along but I would absolutely love twins!).” Otis and Hehner are already parents to a two-year-old daughter named Henley Grace. In 2016, Otis became pregnant but confirmed a stillbirth of their son in her second trimester. Exactly a year ago, the reality star had a chemical pregnancy (or very early miscarriage detected days after conception). In January, she revealed that she suffered a 10-week miscarriage. Many fans reached out to Otis to show support after she posted online about her losses. “Thank you, thank you, *THANK YOU!* for all the encouragement, love, & prayers. IT WORKED! WE ARE FINALLY PREGNANT !!!!!” she wrote in her post on Saturday. Concluded Otis: “And before I end this looong caption, I just want to say this: if you’re reading this & are currently in the process of #ttc – oh mama, my heart hurts for you. “I know the instant internal pain that comes from another’s pregnancy announcement – even if you are or at least want to be – happy for the lucky couple. “I just want you to know that your rainbow will come too. The storm cant stay forever. Hold onto hope! I am thinking of you!
Amber Portwood has done some terrible things, and that's just a fact. We've seen her abuse Gary Shirley, and we've seen her neglect her daughter, Leah, when she was younger. We've certainly seen the toxic mess that was her relationship with Matt Baier. But now that she's currently in the middle of both a criminal case and a custody case stemming from her alleged assault of Andrew Glennon in July, even more things are coming out about her. And it's really, truly not looking good for her. 1. Such a Mess It seems like every single day, the situation with Amber Portwood gets worse. 2. Well … And honestly, that’s because it kind of does. 3. Goodness Gracious It’s been two months now since The Incident, and more and more details are coming out, and she keeps getting more and more open about her thoughts and feelings about everything, and it’s just not great for anyone. 4. The Incident So just in case you forgot, Amber was arrested on the morning of July 5th after assaulting boyfriend Andrew Glennon and allegedly chasing him with a machete while he was holding their son, James. 5. Naturally According to Andrew’s story, she was upset because they weren’t able to go see fireworks the day before, and she’d been raging for hours about it. 6. Yikes She beat him with a shoe, which she admitted to doing, and police have photos of bruises and scratches from that, and he even claimed that she attempted suicide by taking a handful of pills that she later threw up after he threatened to call the police.

Demi Lovato took a very bold step this week. And it’s looking like it may soon pay off… … in the form of a red hot boning session with one of America’s most elgible bachelors. As detailed just a short while ago on The Hollywood Gossip, Lovato posted an unedited bikini photo to her Instagram page on Thursday, proudly showing off all her curves for the world to see. “This is my biggest fear. A photo of me in a bikini unedited. And guess what, it’s CELLULIT!!!!” the artist wrote as a caption to this image. Lovato, who has battled substance and self-esteem issues for many years, added: “I 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.” Here’s the picture in question: Lovato has received very positive feedback from various celebrities and social media users in response to this snapshot. But the voice of one stud muffin has stood out in particular. “Look at me like that again,” Mike Johnson wrote in Demi’s comments section. “Love yaself.” Johnson, for those unaware, was a contestant on the most recent season of The Bachelorette. He quickly emerged as a fan favorite — with Lovato herself leading the very public charge of affection over Milke. After Mike was rejected by Hannah Brown this summer, he jokingly asked about the whereabouts of his future wife on Twitter, to which Lovato replied: I’M RIGHT HERE MIKE I’M RIGHT HERE BOO MY MOM ALREADY LOVES YOU TOO. She also told Johnson that would would gladly “accept” his “rose.” Since this amazing exchange, rumors have swirled about Mike becoming the next Bachelor. This, tragically, appears as if it will NOT be the cas e… which is wonderful news for all Demi and Mike ‘shippers out there. “I would definitely take her out for an initial date, yeah. 100% not scared about it at all,” Mike told Us Weekly several weeks ago when asked about Lovato, hilariously adding: “I would be like, ‘Oh My God! Girl, come here.” He later told People Magazine: “She would definitely be cool to reach out to, but neither one of us have reached out to each other. “I think she’s sexy, she’s got a nice little booty on her and she has good voice.” She also has an admirable point of view on life. This is how Lovato concluded the caption to the unedited bikini photo above: This is what I got. I want this new chapter in my life to be about being authentic to who I am rather than trying to meet someone else’s standards. So 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. Anyway, here’s me. RAW, REAL! And I love me. And you should love you too! Now back to the studio.. I’m working on an anthem. also. Just so everyone’s clear.. 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.

Last month, fans saw that Colt Johnson and his girlfriend seemed to be talking about marriage — or, at least, open to discussing it. Now, things are looking much more serious than just a discussion. Colt is in the market to buy a ring, and he’s not even being subtle about it. Colt Johnson adn Jess Caroline haven’t made things Instagram Official just yet. But they’ve both made it very clear that they’re happily dating — months into a relationship that no one thought would last past the first date. Jess’ Instagram is private and she even showed some semi-public display of affection recently. (We have that photo for you below) And Colt? Well, he leaves brazen comments on her (private) Instagram, making no effort to hide their relationship. Oh, and he’s looking to put a ring on it. “Looking for someone that makes jewelry,” Colt recently wrote in his Instagrami Stories. He continued, imploring any followers with a recommendation to “DM me please.” Alongside his request, Coltee included sketches — concept art — for a ring. It’s not just that he wants to buy a ring. He very clearly wants his followers in a tizzy over whether he’s about to propose to Jess. And he’s getting his wish. We hope that this ring, should Colt get it made and give ti to Jess, will meet a better fate than the ring Colt gave to Larissa when they married. His relationship with The Queen was volatile and deeply toxic for both parties. During a moment of emotional distress after a fight, Larissa actually flushed her ring. She later exposed the ring’s price, feeling slighted that (the notoriously cheap) Coltee had bought the ring on Etsy for a modest price. It looks like Colt is once again choosing a “unique” ring instead of a pricier option. Maybe Jess will appreciate it more. As we mentioned, Jess shared this image — of Colt’s hand on her thigh — on her private Instagram. “To love is to go hand in hand through this strange and magical maze that is life,” Jess reflected in her captions. She continued to approximately quote an existing poem: “It is not to lose sight of the other, but to let him breathe when needed.” “It is facing the fear of the abyss, of truth, of doubt, of certainty,” Jess wrote. She added: “It is embracing tight to cure pain, sadness, failure.” “It is giving a silly and innocent smile in the middle of the day,” Jess concluded. “Simply by knowing that the other exists” A number of fans have expressed surprise that Colt’s other half, his mother, Debbie, seems to be okay with this relationship. We guess that not having Colt’s new lady love move in the day they meet probably helps her get adjusted to the idea. And she may be supporting Colt’s romance with Jess because, at this point, she’ll root for anyone who isn’t Larissa Lima. Will Colt’s eventual marriage to Jess be the milestone that ultimately severs his metaphorical umbilical cord for good? Only time will tell. For now, he still hasn’t popped the question.

Amber Portwood is not going down without a fight. Hmmm… okay, fair enough: That may not be the best phrase to use when it comes to this troubled Teen Mom OG star. But the general point remains: Portwood is doing everything she can to remain close to her son. As previously reported, Andrew Glennon has filed a legal motion to take the estranged couple’s one-year old son to California. He seemingly wants to move halfway across the country with little James, likely to try and start over after Amber was arrested on July for felony assault. According to Glennon and the police report from that incident, Portwood attacked both her boyfriend and even her baby (indirectly, but still) with a shoe and then with a machete. For a rundown of all the evidence against Amber, click below: View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: What’s the Evidence Against Her? Now, however, Portwood has filed her own motion in response to that of Glennon. She wants to legally ban him from residing in California with James. “Mother objects to the relocation and believes that it is not in the best interest of the child to relocate to California,” the court papers read. They continue: “Mother requests that Father’s Notice of Intent to Relocate be denied. Mother is requesting that the court enter an order preventing the relocation of the child.” Andrew has alleged that his employment and family are in California, and that he has no ties to Indiana, but Portwood counters this claim as follows: “Father has previously been employed as a day trader which can be done from any location,” adding that Glennon’s basis for his desired move is “disingenous.” There’s also no proposal in Glennon’s official filing for just how he and Amber would co-parent from afar. This is likely because Glennon thinks Amber hates being a mom and is a terrible mom and probably shouldn’t really be an active mom at all. As things stand right now, Glennon has custody of James and Amber is only permitted to see the toddler under the supervision of a court-approved adult. It looks like she may see her son soon, though, because Portwood shared the above photo four days ago and wrote as a caption to it: Love you and see you soon little bubba. Earlier this week, as part of a Teen Mom reunion special, Portwood denied allegations that she used a machete back in July, trashing Glennon for being downright insane . But Andrew then fired back with some very personal and revealing allegations. In a social media rant just yesterday, Glennon told followers about the “the landslide of abuse that I had to endure the past entire year.” “It changed me,” continued Glennon painfully. “She broke me down psychologically. I became more silent, I hesitated before speaking, what she did literally altered my speech pattern. I needed to be prescribed medication for anxiety which I have never had in my life… “I’m not going to be silent until your dust settles. I’ve been silent for too long. The abuse has gone on for far too long.” YIKES, huh? Read all Andrew has to say on this topic below: View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Details Amber Portwood Abuse, Claims She’s Back on Drugs
Grey's Anatomy Season 16 will kick off on September 26 on ABC — and, based on the official trailer featured here, the premiere will aim to answer two key questions: What is Meredith doing picking up garage? Is Jackson alive?!? Viewers do basically know the reasoning behind that first query, of course. Meredith, Alex and Richard were all fired to close out Season 15 and Meredith will be performing her court-mandated community service when we see her again this fall. Hence the tagline orange is the new grey that flashes across the screen of this preview. Later in this sneak peek, Bailey (Chandra Wilson) is seen telling other employees that Meredith, Alex Karev (Justin Chambers), and Richard Weber (James Pickens Jr.) no longer work at the hospital due to “criminal activity.” The reactions are priceless. Will Meredith end up working as a doctor once again in the near future? We'd have to imagine. But we're very curious just how she gets her old job back. Elsewhere, the intense promo also portends an ominous outcome to the Disappearance of Jackson Avery. Where is he? Could he actually be dead and gone? It's conceivable, considering the history of this show and how it's unafraid to kill off a series regular. But, SPOILER ALERT, Jesse Williams recently re-upped with the series for two more years. So we think everything is gonna end up being okay for Jackson. He'll survive, at the very least. Showrunner Krista Vernoff previously told TV Line that this wildly anticipated premiere will pick “moments from where we left off” in the Season 15 finale, with “all of the lingering” cliffhangers being addressed “pretty immediately.” That is, Meredith, Richard and Alex receiving pink slips… DeLuca wearing a prison jumpsuit … and Jackson vanishing into thin air/thick fog. Shortly thereafter, however, the episode “will span a little bit of time over the course of the hour.” Color us intrigued. Check out the slideshow above if you're in the mood for a few Grey's Anatomy spoilers and remember: The beloved drama returns on Thursday, September 26 at 8/7c on ABC. Check out this fun teaser now!
