Mama June Shannon Reveals MASSIVE Weight Loss in New Pic!

It’s been a bizarre couple of years for the reality star once known as “Mama June” Shannon. These days, June seems to have dropped the “Mama” from name, and we can’t say we blame her. After all, based on some shocking recent reports, parenting is not her strong suit. First, the world learned that June was dating Mark McDaniel – a man who previously spent ten years in prison for molesting Shannon’s eldest daughter, Anna. (Just let that sink in, even if you’re already aware of it.) Shortly thereafter, June was accused of stealing from Anna . After several weeks of public denials, she confessed and returned the money. Maybe June had to hit rock bottom in order to turn things around. Or maybe in the absence of a camera crew, she realized there’s nothing all that funny about her family’s eating habits. Whatever the case, Mama June has has re-focused on her health and lost a bit of weight. Make that a lot of weight: Yes, it’s hard to believe, but that’s the same Mama June you used to know and somewhat tolerate. It’s surprising that the reality star found time to diet and exercise, what with her busy schedule and all. You know, promoting her upcoming appearance at Larry Flynt’s annual WTF?! Weekend alongside Bubba Sparxxx and porn star Jesse Jane. (Sadly, we’re not joking.) June hasn’t revealed any of her weight loss secrets, but they may be forthcoming. Several outlets have reported that the 36-year-old (yes, she’s only 36) filmed much of her weight loss journey in hopes of landing a reality show. To that, we roll our eyes, but have to say: Would you really expect otherwise? So, the good news is that she lost a lot of weight, which has to be good for her chances of living beyond her 40th birthday. Seriously, she looks great and we’re happy for her, both for the improvement in self-confidence as well as overall cardiac health. The bad news is that she may be back on TV. Call it a slight net positive … or a wash. However you want to score it, you just have to take the good with the horrendously awful when it comes to Mama June. That much we can tell you for sure.

Dwyane Wade’s Ex Wife Siohvaughn Airs Out All Their Dirty Relationship Drama In New Tell-All Book

Siovaughn Wade Pens Tell All Book About Marriage To Dwyane Siovaughn Wade is still coming for Dwyane Wade’s checks in a revised divorce settlement…but that’s not the only way she’s seeking to cash in on her failed marriage to the basketball star. Just last month, Siovaughn released a self-published tell-all memoir, entitled The True Story for God’s Glory , detailing the ins and outs of her time as a basketball wife and hitting rock bottom once it was all over. Via Chicago Tribune : Siovaughn Funches-Wade may be trying to squeeze an extra buck out of her $5 million divorce settlement from Chicago Bulls star Dwyane Wade, but she “loathed money” as their marriage fell apart, she says. In an emotionally raw autobiography published late last month, the basketball player’s former high school sweetheart admits she became “an arrogant diva” to try to fit in with the NBA wives club, repeats allegations made in court during a divorce battle that Wade beat her, and claims an unnamed mistress of Wade’s called her at 3 a.m. to boast about her trysts with Wade. She also complains that living with Wade in Miami was like living in a “$4 million … prison,” alleges that an unnamed former teammate of Wade’s with the Miami Heat “suggested that I have an affair right after a game while still inside the Miami Heat Arena,” and writes about her regrets over an abortion she had during a “hell on high heels life.” Damn, sounds crazy! Even though Siovaughn details a restrictive life with Dwyane — whom she never calls by name in the book — and details physical and emotional abuse at his hands…she says the obscene amounts of money the couple saw and her idolization of wealth is truly what took her down the darkest path of her life: Once they hit it rich, the stylish Wade would spend as much as $100,000 a month on custom clothes, she wrote. But when their marriage turned sour, she alleged in the book, he’d tell her “I want to sow my wild oats” and “This isn’t your money and if you leave, nobody is going to want you and you aren’t going to have anything without me. You will end up having to go back and live at your mama’s house!” Funches-Wade writes that she later found pictures and instant messages from other women on Wade’s phone. The marriage ended soon after, according to Funches-Wade’s account, when a woman called her in the middle of the night and told her she had just slept with Wade. The woman gave “a description of the underwear he was wearing,” Funches-Wade wrote. Still, Funches-Wade writes that money was the cause of her greatest struggle. “I got divorced and had both my children wrongfully taken from me, I lost my home and my health, my reputation was destroyed,” she wrote. “But it was all nothing compared to the pain I felt from the love of money. From that pain I am still healing to this day.” “I had never felt in my life true emptiness until my bank account was full.” Wow. Well Siovuaghn has never had a shortage of things to say about her ex-husband and their nasty split. Maybe now that she has it on the written page and out of her system she’ll find at least a little bit of closure… Splash/WENN

Final 9/11 Rescue Dog Dies: Goodbye, Bretagne…

The animal kingdom has suffered a great loss. The entire world has suffered a great loss, really. Bretagne (pronounced Brittany), a 16-year old search and rescue dog, had to be put down this week. She was the last search and rescue dog alive who helped search through the rubble of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Join us in honoring her memory below… 1. Near Ground Zero Denise Corliss, an electrical engineer from Texas, and a then-two-year-old Bretagne were deployed to the area around the World Trade Center a week after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. 2. Long, Hard, Important Work Bretagne was one of approximately 300 dogs working after 9/11. She and her handler worked 12-hour shifts together for 10 days . 3. End of the Heroic Line On June 6, just a few months shy of her 17th birthday, Bretagne had to be put to sleep. Her owner said she could no longer climb stairs at home and was experiencing kidney failure. 4. A Hero Until the End Up until her health failed, the caine was spending time at a a local elementary school as a dog that children could read to in order to practice their reading skills. 5.

Courtney Stodden: SLAMMED For Endangering Her Baby’s Health!

Last month, we learned that Courtney Stodden is pregnant  when the 21-year-old social media star reluctantly confirmed the news to Us Weekly. Since then, Stodden has revealed that she’s struggling with depression  and has been open about the various joys and difficulties (Hooray for morning sickness!) with her many social media followers. Most have been supportive, but you know what they say about online commenters: a lot of them are douche bags! Okay, we may have just made that expression up, but the fact remains that Courtney is on the receiving end of some seriously harsh criticism these days. This is the picture that’s been stirring up controversy since yesterday. As you may have guessed, the issue is not with the Court’s ginormous diamond ring, but with the out-of-focus pill bottles in the background. She captioned the pic, “Diamonds are a girls best friend,” and yes, it was probably a bad idea to quote Marilyn Monroe (who died of a barbiturate overdose) on the icon’s birthday with bottles of pills in the background, but that hardly justifies some of the hateful comments on Courtney’s Instagram page. The concern trolls came out in force to criticize Courtney for “putting her baby at risk” by taking drugs. Fortunately, several fans came to her defense, including moms who attested that they were numerous medications during their own pregnancies. Basically there are two possibilities with this photo: One is that Courtney gave no thought to the pill bottles in the background and just wanted to show off her bling while paying tribute to one of her heroes. The other is that this is some sort of desperate but subtle cry for help. Either way, the answer is not to attack a depressed 21-year-old pregnant woman on social media.

Angelina Jolie: Pissed About Brad Pitt Flirting With Cara Delevingne?!

It’s been a rough month for Angelina Jolie in terms of online gossip. Actually, Angie is the subject of wild rumors just about  every month, but she’s been taking more jabs than usual in recent weeks. Just yesterday, rumors circulated that Jolie is down to 80 pounds,  and her health causing serious concerns amongst her family and friends. Prior to that several tabloids reported that Angelina fired her nanny after catching the woman flirting with Brad Pitt. It’s not the first time we’ve heard rumors of Angie being the jealous time (Frankly, after the way she and Brad met, we don’t blame her), and that narrative continued today with reports that Jolie is pissed about Brad’s desire to form a working relationship with Cara Delevingne “Brad thinks Cara’s talents haven’t been explored properly and he wants to take her under his wing,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “He’s hoping she might sign an ongoing deal with his company. “Brad won’t give up,” the insider adds. “He’s opened his contacts book to her and given her numbers of the best acting teachers in Hollywood. He really thinks she’s got what it takes to win an Oscar one day.” Jeez, what’s the problem, Angie? It’s not like a middle-aged man taking a 20-something model under his wing has ever ended badly…Okay, we see your point.

Leah Messer Receives Devastating Medical News About Daughter

Of all the troubled young mothers that have been featured on Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 over the years, perhaps none has experienced worse luck than Leah Messer. In her six seasons on the show, we've seen Leah struggle with addiction , go through two divorces, and endure an ugly custody battle with Corey Simms .  But while other Teen Mom stars have endured substance abuse issues and bad breakups, most of their problems are self-created. Leah's decision-making abilities aren't always the greatest, but her biggest cross to bear is not the result of any of her mistakes. If you watch Teen Mom 2 online , you're likely aware that one of Leah's twin daughters, Aliannah, is battling muscular dystrophy. In the clip below, Leah and Corey take Aliannah to her doctor, due to the fact that she's been falling down more often than usual. Unfortunately, they receive devastating news about her health. “Her strength is still quite decent,” the doctor informs them. “But once she’s getting to age seven, then gradually, the maturity affects her. Then she may very slowly get weaker.” He goes on to say that say that in the very near future she'll likely lose her ability to walk and become completely reliant on her power wheelchair. Watch the heartbreaking video below.
