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.
Last month, Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after experiencing a number of mysterious symptoms. In the weeks that followed, Jenelle went to New York City to be tested by a specialist and wound up in her local hospital a second time, yet is no closer to understanding the cause of her joint pain and severe hot flashes. Today, Jenelle arrived in Los Angeles, where she's scheduled to undergo further testing in hopes of receiving a diagnosis and beginning treatment. TMZ caught up with the troubled Teen Mom star , who was happy to answer questions, but seemed to have little new information to offer about her health. Asked if her illness could force her to take some time off from filming new episodes of the series that made her famous, Jenelle replied simply, “Possibly, yeah.” “My health comes first, before the show,” she added. Several sources have reported that it's likely anxiety that's making Jenelle sick , and if that proves to be the case, her doctors will likely recommend that she take some time away from the spotlight. Of course, this is Jenelle Evans we're talking about. Even if she steps away from the world of reality TV, her life is still sure to be filled with drama.
If you’re not familiar with waist training, it’s the idiotic fitness trend that’s centered around the idea that squeezing your organs like a fistful of Play-Doh will make you look skinnier. It’s an impossibly dumb concept, but the Kardashians love waist training , and every one of Kim’s sisters (except Kendall) has jumped on board with it on social media. So we suppose it was only a matter of time before Rob got in on the action. Yes, as you may have heard, Rob is officially in a relationship, and sources say his new girlfriend Blac Chyna is helping him lose weight . Unfortunately, it seems that in this case “lose weight” means “re-shape his bloated liver so that it resembles an ab.” “Blac Chyna always brings up how much she loves waist training and hopes that Rob will get in on the trend once he starts losing more weight,” a source tells Hollywood Life. “He also has brought up to Blac that he would like to talk to his sisters about it to make them have a current reason to bond.” That’s right – Rob and his sisters will be bonding over binding. The insider says Blac has convinced Rob that repairing his relationships with his family members is essential to his health: “To fix his weight he has to heal himself and he realizes that he has to heal his relationships with family and friends,” the source says. “He’s been very encouraged with Lamar’s progress and he wants to show that he has that determination and power as well.” So Rob is comparing himself to Lamar now? We hate to dismiss the seriousness of your struggle, Rob, but it’s important to keep things in perspective. Lamar had to learn how to walk again; you just have to switch to light beer.
On Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 12 , the girls recreated an iconic family video for their Momager’s epic 60th birthday. The celebration took place amidst the backdrop of some seriously heavy stuff, however, most notably involving Lamar Odom’s health … Watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11 Episode 12 Online You don’t have to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online to know that Lamar was found on the brink of death in a Vegas brothel. He lived to tell about it, but it took a toll on not only the former NBA star, but wife Khloe Kardashian, who was left to pick up the pieces: “I am very protective over Lamar right now. I feel so guilty being away from him … my brain is still at the hospital. I get super anxious.” Not only was she worried about her estranged, ailing husband, but the reality of having to be asked about his health 100 times a day. All on top of the fact that their divorce was about to become final when she called it off to care for him … while still dating James Harden. “I want to live the life that I was already living before this whole thing happened,” Khloe admitted, with trademark honesty, at one point. Meanwhile, the family prepared to celebrate Kris Jenner’s 60th birthday while also marking birthdays for Kendall and Caitlyn Jenner. View Slideshow: 11 Times Khloe Kardashian Taught Us The Value of Tough Love There was some serious surrounding Kendall, for once, regarding her participation in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – a bit deal. Kendall, as she’s explained many times, did not want family there as she seeks to dispel the notion that her name is why she’s famous. You can imagine her frustration, then, when Kim Kardashian urged Caitlyn Jenner to go … and this decision was made public no less. That led to an ugly phone call in which Kendall laid down the law. She also laid the smack down on Kylie Jenner for a different reason. When Kylie asked if she could uninvite Tyga from Kendall’s party due to one of their many fights, Kendall shot her down. She invited him. Fortunately, if you know anything about Kyga, you know they make up as quickly as they break up, and such was the case here, too. Finally, the whole gang surprised Momager Kris with a recreation of her 30th birthday music video, and everything was right with the world.

STOP THE PRESSES! PUT DOWN THOSE CHAMPAGNE GLASSES! We have some disheartening news: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian are not engaged. This may come as a shock to many readers because Chyna wore a diamond ring on her finger earlier this week and also captioned a photo of her and her boyfriend with a diamond ring emoji. But, despite this proof, an insider tells People Magazine that Rob never popped the life-altering question. Simply put, they are “not engaged,” this source says, explaining of why Chyna has been seen around with the aforementioned shiny piece of jewelry on her hand: ” Chyna is all about attention , and that’s probably why she keeps flashing the ring.” Wait… WHAT?!? Blac Chyna is all about attention?!? We’re gonna need a few moments to digest this unexpected analysis and evaluation… View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Photos: Her Most Scandalous, Sexy Pics on Instagram! However, just because Blac Chyna won’t be walking down the aisle any time soon with Rob, that doesn’t mean things aren’t serious between the stars. On Thursday, the mother of Tyga’s son jumped on Instagram to post a NSFW snapshot of herself wearing nothing but a thong while modeling a pair of Kardashians’s “Stay Trill” Arthur George socks. Rob himself has said far less in public about the romance, but those in the know are speaking on his behalf. “She makes him super happy, and this is the first time that he’s felt so optimistic about life in years,” another source tells People. “She helps keep Rob in check with his health and makes sure he is abiding by his diet and exercising. “He feels there’s strong potential for this relationship to go a long way, but for now they are very content and complement each other really well.”

I’ve been making fun of Ashley Benson and her extreme fame for as long as I known she’s existed, because she’s consistently been 15 pounds overweight, which isn’t entirely obese but if it is what you call Hollywood fat…and with a huge audience she has a responsiblity to be fit, with a lot of Pretty Little Liar famous as fuck money she can hire the best trainers and chefs…so the only excuse is lazy. I like that her team has decided to rebrand her as a fit and healthy person, despite looking sloppy as fuck, because just yesterday SHE WAS DOING FITNESS ON HER SOCIAL Today she’s doing Health Magazine…seems like some weird Hollywood wizardry…trying to trick us into thinking she’s just muscular or some shit… It’s coming at us from left field… The post Ashley Benson in Health Magazine of the DAy appeared first on DrunkenStepfather .
…For many, thinking positive is an optimistic mindset sustained by positive affirmations and the general attitude that everything happens for a reason, even if that thing isn’t particularly pleasant. For others, positive thinking is a fantasy land of unrealistic goals and desires, often not backed by any real action, and it’s that type of thinking that can make you even more depressed about your current state of affairs, so says research recently published in Psychological Science. In four different studies, researchers had participants from school-aged children to adults fantasize about some aspect of the future and measured their state of mind at the time of the thinking and in a later meeting. Immediately, positive thinking about some sort of fantasy in the future relieved symptoms of depression, but in follow-up sessions the participants were actually more depressed. Gabriele Oettingen, PhD, lead author of the study, said the reason is: “These positive fantasies relax us and de-energize us. We feel accomplished in the fantasized-about future, so we don’t actually put in the work needed to achieve that future….” [ MadameNoire ] Booking A Trip?

Leaked Emails Prove Michigan Officials Purchased Water For Themselves Before Flint Water Crisis Just when you think you’ve read all the shocking stories regarding the Flint Water Crisis , here comes leaked emails proving Michigan state officials were purchasing clean water for themselves while telling Flint residents it was okay to drink and bathe their children in that poisonous lead water. Per Detroit Free Press : In January of 2015, when state officials were telling worried Flint residents their water was safe to drink, they also were arranging for coolers of purified water in Flint’s State Office Building so employees wouldn’t have to drink from the taps, according to state government e-mails released Thursday by the liberal group Progress Michigan. A Jan. 7, 2015, notice from the state Department of Technology, Management and Budget, which oversees state office buildings, references a notice about a violation of drinking water standards that had recently been sent out by the City of Flint. “While the City of Flint states that corrective actions are not necessary, DTMB is in the process of providing a water cooler on each occupied floor, positioned near the water fountain, so you can choose which water to drink,” said the notice. “The coolers will arrive today and will be provided as long as the public water does not meet treatment requirements.” Caleb Buhs, a spokesman for DTMB, said the water coolers were provided in response to the city health notice in late December or early January, which he acknowledged was about a contamination issue the city said had already subsided. The state continued to provide the coolers of purified water, right up to today, because “there were more findings as we went along,” Buhs said. Buhs said his department never told state workers the tap water was unsafe to drink, but only provided an alternative, as a landlord would do for tenants. If Caleb Buhs and DTMB doesn’t get the entire f*ck up out of here with that “we were only providing an alternative” BS. Where was the alternative for Flint residents? Meanwhile, disgraced POS Michigan governor Rick Snyder signed a bill on Friday to provide $28 million in funding that will go towards fixing damaged pipes treating the health problems of all those people who drank from the tap. Too little, too late, bruh!
It looks like we're gonna need to go in and make an addition to our list of First World Problems Plaguing Those Very Poor Kardashians . Those who tune in to watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians online or on their television this Sunday will see Kris Jenner engage in an argument with Kim Kardashian that leaves us wondering once again: HOW CAN ANYONE BE FANS OF THESE PEOPLE?!? In a sneak peek at the latest installment of this E! reality series, Kardashian accuses her mother of taking some very special marble from her. “When we moved in with my mom the first time, we bought a whole ton of marble – all these slabs from out of the country, and she took my marble, has never mentioned it, has never paid for it, and now I have to figure out a new plan,” Kardashian complains. Yes, this is a fight about ridiculously expensive marble and even more expensive mansions in general. Jenner, who reportedly wants Kim and Kanye West to get the heck out of her house, responds that she only took six slabs of marble, not the 10 slabs of marble Kim claims and… … we're sorry. We just can't. This is just to pathetic and disgusting. In the end, mother and daughter make a $1 MILLION bet regarding how much marble Kris actually took from Kim's order and we think we're gonna be sick. Just watch for yourself.
