Amber Portwood: I Could Totes Have Another Baby with Andrew Glennon!

Teen Mom OG star Amber Portwood has been slamming Jenelle Evans since long before Jenelle decided to choose her monster husband over her own kids. But aside from watching the dumpster fire of her former castmate’s life implode in national headlines, what is Amber up to these days? She’s happily in love with Andrew — and wouldn’t say no to popping out another Glennon baby. Amber Portwood spoke to Us Weekly about her life these days, and about her thoughts on having another child with Andrew Glennon. “If that happened, I wouldn’t be mad,” Amber admits. “There are many things I would do differently with Andrew,” she reflects. “I wouldn’t wait to get married,” she says. “I wouldn’t wait for anything!” “He’s my soulmate,” Amber gushes. “And he’s a beautiful person.” Amber is quick to admit that Andrew has effectively ruined her for other men. “I don’t see anybody else I could even, like, mesh with after him,” Amber expresses. Once you’ve known what true compatibility can feel like, it’s hard to imagine being lucky enough to dlick that well with someone else. Amber adds: “I might have another kid with him.” So it sounds like whether she does that has more to do with whether she wants another kid, period, rather than with her relationship. Because Amber and Andrew? She says that they’re rock solid. So, she mentioned that she wouldn’t get married to Andrew. Does that mean that they’ve secretly tied the knot? Amber says that no, they’re not engaged, explaining: “that’s up to Andrew!” “I’ve been through a lot of stuff with men commitment wise,” Amber understates. “But,” she says. “He’s that guy that you don’t want to lose out on.” Well, coming from his family, he may be one of the only dudes Amber has met who isn’t also a gold digger. There was some controversy about how Amber and Andrew first hooked up. She was with her sleazy ex at the time, and he was working on Marriage Boot Camp when she and Matt Baier had a huge fight. Apparently he ran after her to offer her a shoulder on which to cry. Over time, that shoulder became a penis, which led some to accuse Andrew of taking advantage of a distraought, emotional woman. Not as many fans are still saying that these days, but a few still harbor doubts about Andrew’s good guy status. Amber strongly disagrees with that assessment of her man. “Honestly, I feel like it was meant to be, the way that how we met,” Amber expresses. To her, he was there right when she needed him, and she still feels grateful for that. She adds: “It was just beautiful.” And so is their baby, James Andrew Glennon. Now, plenty of Amber’s longtime fans would be delighted to see her welcome a new baby into the world. They wouldn’t have felt that way when she was with Matt Baier, but they do now. But keep in mind that she’s just saying that she is hypothetically open to another Glennon baby. Right now, she probably has enough on her plate.

Keeping Up With the Kardashians Sneak Peek: Kim Worries ‘Bout Khloe

Earlier this month, Kim Kardashian welcomed her fourth child , Psalm West. Baby #4 is keeping her plenty busy these days. But Keeping Up With The Kardashians was filmed months ago, and at the time, Kim was more worried about Khloe's drama with Tristan. In this sneak peek for Sunday's new episode, Kim confesses that she's afraid that this very public scandal has been too much for her. This clip begins with Malika Haqq walking down the hall to speak with Kim, who is lounging on a series of beds made to look like a giant couch. “Going to Law school is a lot, a lot, a lot,” Kim says, sharing why she's feeling so tired. “But the baby is due in May.” “So,” Kim explains. “I'm excited to get the break — the baby break — because you get to take time off.” Kim, who is worth a third of a billion dollars and could take any time off she wanted, is looking forward to an excuse to wear pajamas all day. But after that brief preamble, this sneak peek klip for Sunday's new episode gets into Khloe's relationship drama. “We had like numerous readings and they were all so weird,” Kim recalls. She shares an anecdote about herself that we'll get into below, because her words about Khloe's experience are a little more pressing. “And then the last one told her that she has a lot of hurt in her heart,” Kim reveals. “Because her guy has really hurt her.” “And,” she adds. “She said that she's been going back and forth and can't make a decision in the relationship.” Kim continues: “and I so feel that.” “I think I'm always concerned about Khloe,” Kim admits during the Keeping Up With The Kardashians clip. “Obviously, everything that they've been through,” she expresses. “I don't think you can just forget about it.” “Its definitely not easy when everything is so public,” Kim points out. Kim is no stranger to having personal drama play out in the spotlight. Like Khloe, it's defined her life for over a decade. It's a huge part of her career. But she has a lot of confidence (konfidence?) that Khloe will continue to try to tackle her drama on her own terms. “She definitely tries to handle it on her own,” Kim observes. “But,” Kim says. “I just worry about her.” “As a best friend,” she adds. “I feel like she can really open up to Malika, you know, spend some time.” Maybe. But some people are too embarrassed by personal indecision to open up, even to a best friend. Honestly, the funniest part about all of this is that Kim segues into this “candid” conversation by talking about their experiences with mediums in Bali. She talks about how one reading that she received told her that she would have another boy — and that he would be her father reincarnated. We have to wonder if Kim is going to spend her literal entire life wondering if baby Psalm is actually her father reborn. Oh wait, maybe Psalm will see this episode one day, or at least hear about this reading from someone. That would be a hell of a thing to grow up hearing.

Leah Messer to Bare All In New Memoir: My Life Is So Hard!

Being a main cast member in the Teen Mom franchise carries with a lot of benefits. First and foremost, of course, there’s the six-figure annual income for a job that — while not necessarily easy , per se — doesn’t require much more than a willingness to live out one’s life in the public eye. And then there are the various other business opportunities that are available to the franchise’s most popular stars: Endorsement deals, podcasts, cosmetic lines, and of course, book deals, are all methods by which the moms have supplemented their incomes with varying degrees of success. Memoirs have become a veritable rite of passage for the ladies of Teen Mom — Kailyn Lowry has written two books , and even less-loved cast members like Jenelle Evans and Farrah Abraham have sold their life stories. So perhaps it should come as no surprise that Leah Messer has finally joined the club: Ms. Messer announced on Facebook today that her literary debut — entitled Hope, Grace, & Faith — will be available in stores and online in December. “It’s been literally the most vulnerable I’ve been in my life and it’s been so therapeutic,” Leah said of writing the book. “Most importantly, it’s dedicated to my girls. This book is a memoir, but there’s the off-camera reality of my life,” she added. “So, everything you didn’t see on TV, behind-the-scenes moments, that’s what you’re going to get.” Leah went on to say that the book will leave fans with a better understanding of her background: “My childhood was very rough growing up…breaking familial cycles is not easy and I think that was the biggest reason for writing my memoir. My childhood was rough,” she said. “There is a lot about that period of my life that wasn’t revealed on the show,” Leah added. Leah teased the book on her podcast a while back, saying: “I actually have a project, I’m actually going to be releasing a book revealing everything my fans really don’t know about me or was hidden behind an hour show. “I’m so excited because it’s so emotional. It’s tough. Kail read it, some of it, and she was like, ‘Leah, I didn’t know you went through all of this.’ The end is beautiful.” Between her daughter’s disability , her battle with substance abuse, and her two divorces — there’s no denying that Leah has been through a lot. And now, it seems fans will finally learn the rest of the story. View Slideshow: Leah Messer: Of COURSE Jenelle Evans Lost Custody of Her Kids! Are You Crazy??

Leah Messer to Jenelle Evans: Help is Out There! Just Ask for It!

Jenelle Evans probably doesn't want to hear any advice right now. But that's part of her problem, some might say. The veteran MTV star has lost custody of her children and she won't be getting them back any time soon . No matter what you think of the troubled Teen Mom 2 cast member (well, ex -cast member), this is a very sad situation — considering some very young kids are involved. We've already heard from Farrah Abraham on this topic , and now someone else who sort of knows Evans well has spoken out. Scroll down to read through Leah Messer's thoughts on the tragic all-around development… 1. You Probably Know This By Now, But… Jenelle and David Eason had their kids taken away by Child Protective Services not long after the latter shot and killed their family’s dog, Nugget. 2. Love or Hate Jenelle… This is a sad situation for many reasons, mostly because there are young kids and their well-being at stake. The couple’s two-year old daughter, Ensley, and Jenelle’s four-year old son, Kaiser, have been removed from David and Jenelle’s North Carolina house. 3. Is This Decision Final? No. But it’s not going to be short-lived, either, as a judge recently told David and Jenelle in a hearing that they won’t be getting primary custody of these kids back any time soon. 4. Jenelle Spoke to The Hollywood Gossip About It In her exclusive statement to our website, Evans said the following this week: “I am currently following what my attorney has asked.

Larissa Lima Assault Trial: What’s the Verdict?

Larissa Lima and Colt Johnson both came away with injuries after a scary, bloody fight on January 10 of this year. Only Larissa was arrested and charged. On Thursday, May 30, she attended her trial for domestic battery. That court session has now concluded. As for the verdict … there's some dispute over that. Some outlets are reporting that things didn't go too badly for Larissa, but that Thursday's hearing could still put her at risk of deportation. But we also have Larissa's statement about how the case went, and she is telling a different story. Take a look: 1. Larissa had her day in court Things did not entirely go her way, but they could have been way, way worse. 2. On Wednesday, she was asking for good luck She knew that, after her third arrest, she would need it. Larissa has a lot of fans who believe in her and want to see her succeed. 3. Colt is smiling That’s … not a great sign for Larissa, considering how the two of them feel about each other. 4. He also waxed philosophical “A chapter has ended, swept away by the whirlwind,” he writes, doing some sort of grand tour of cliches. “One door has closed but another has opened…” 5. But that’s nothing compared to how his mom is feeling Is … is Debbie trying to DAB? We’ve seen a lot of behavior from 90 Day Fiance stars, but this right here may be the most shocking. 6. There’s no love lost here Debbie is NOT a fan of Larissa, and may despise her more than Colt does. We’re sure that everyone on the planet has already made this joke, but we’re sure that they’re home celebrating with a grossly undercooked steak as we speak. View Slideshow

Brad Pitt: Did He Skip Daughter’s Birthday to Party With New Girlfriend?!

Brad Pitt has a lot on his plate these days. Along with Leonardo DiCaprio, he’s one of the two leads in Quentin Tarantino’s highly-anticipated Once Upon a Time in Hollywood , and while the film doesn’t hit US theaters until August, promotional duties have already brought Brad to Europe. Last week, Pitt was at Cannes for the film’s festival debut and this week he’s … still across the pond for unrelated reasons. Insiders say Pitt stayed put to attend a Venice art event celebrating his friend Thomas Houseago. That’s certainly his prerogative, and we imagine one of the many, many perks of being a world-famous multi-millionaire is going someplace exotic and then being like, “Ya know, I’m just gonna chill here for a few weeks” when it’s time to leave. It’s not bad to be Brad. But while no one is begrudging Pitt his right to jet around the world in a PJ, the actor is catching some flak for the timing of his trip. As multiple media outlets have pointed out, Brad was in Venice during the birthday of his daughter Shiloh, who turned 13 on Monday. In most families, a dad missing his daughter’s birthday so he could party with his sculptor buddy would be major cause for concern. But there are a few extenuating circumstances in Brad’s case: One, the terms of Pitt’s custody agreement with Angelina Jolie are pretty ironclad. When the kids are with her, they’re with her. He’ll supposedly have them for most of the summer once school lets out. On top of that, Shiloh has been a member of the Pitt-Jolie clan for 13 years now. We’re sure she’s used to her parents missing school recitals, birthdays, and other milestone events because they’re off doing cool sh-t in an exotic locale. The trade-off is that her parents are Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, so it evens out. Of course, Brad’s time overseas has been of interest to the tabloid press for reasons that go beyond his allegedly negligent parenting. According to The Daily Mail , Pitt has been spending a lot of time in the company of a “mystery woman.” It’s important to note that “mystery woman” is the designation that the British tabloid press gives much every female who’s spotted in the company of a male celebrity. So maybe this is nothing. Or maybe it’s true love and we’re in for another round of Angelina jealousy rumors. Either way, it’s pretty clear that Brad is busy living his best life.

Wendy Williams Victim-Blames Iggy Azalea for Photo Leak: It’s YOUR Fault!

Over the weekend, some monster leaked Iggy Azalea's topless photos and the rapper has vowed to press charges against the culprit. Wendy Williams is speaking out in condemnation of Iggy herself. Apparently, Wendy doesn't think it's a big deal, and says that Iggy has only herself to blame. “What's she complaining about?” Wendy asks her audience. “She looks great.” That was, of course, never the point, but Wendy decides to burden her audience with details on Iggy's nudes. “I'll describe: she's got giant, pink areolas,” Wendy overshares, noting: “There are a lot of men who love that.” Wendy just barely stops herself from going into further detail about what men love about nipples, so we really dodged a bullet, there. “She's got active nipples,” Wendy adds, using a very strange phrase to say that Iggy's nips were hard. She then goes on to praise Iggy's figure. This is all … totally beside the point. “She took the pictures,” Wendy continues. “She said that she had seen a lot of actresses pose toplss over the years.” “So,” she says. “One of the pictures, where she was topless, she has her hands over her boobs.” Wendy then describes how Iggy eventually bared her breasts after becoming comfortable with the photographers. The naked photos were supposed to have been deleted, Wendy explains, but were not. Instead, they surfaced. The photographer and GQ Australia have condemned whoever stole and leaked the images. “We didn't see any private area,” Wendy asks, then having a back-and-forth with one of the show's producers. She's clearly playing word games, because breasts are not genitals. (For the record, the producer seemed less willing to suggest that the nude leaks were no big deal, but Wendy then dismissed his opinion) Breasts are not genitals, but they're a private area unless the body-owner chooses to share them with the world. And that's the point of all of this — that this happened without Iggy's consent. After saying her piece, Iggy deactivated her Instagram and Twitter accounts to shut out the haters and the sexual harassment. “I think it's a pretty smart idea for her to delete her social media,” Wendy praises. She explains: “Only because the comments are the worst .” “But just because you delete yours,” Wendy notes. “Doesn't mean that you've deleted …” She then lists a number of outlets, on social media and on independent sites, that preserve social media posts and provide commentary. “I think it's everyone's fault that this happened to you, Iggy,” Wendy says. “Number one,” she begins. “It's your fault, Iggy. You and you alone.” She thinks that Iggy has too many “yes people” around her who weren't telling her what they needed to know. Wendy also lays the blame on the photographer using a somewhat convoluted comparison between cameras and her microphone. But the idea that she's blaming Iggy here is absurd … yet oh-so-typical for Wendy. Wendy suggests that this could help her career, and that maybe this is all some sort of publicity stunt. Ugh. We have a sneaking suspicion that Wendy would be singing a different tune if it were her nudes that leaked. (And we of course hope that this does not happen! We don't want to see anyone naked without their consent) The issue isn't Iggy's figure or how appealing various men find a creepily detailed description of her nip nops. It's about photos being leaked without her approval. The truth is that Wendy knows this — but she thought it would be more entertaining to give Iggy a hard time.

Ellen DeGeneres: My Stepfather Abused Me When I Was a Teenager

Ellen DeGeneres is known for being one of the funniest people in the world. In an interview with David Letterman for Season 2 of that comedian’s Netflix series, however, DeGeneres opens up about something very serious. And also very personal… … she was molested as a teenager by her stepfather. In her upcoming appearance on Letterman‘s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, DeGeneres says on stage that her mother, Betty, married a “very bad man” when DeGeneres was a young woman. DeGeneres explains in this chat that her mom had recently been diagnosed with breast cancer and had one of her breasts removed when the incident took place. The stepfather then used this situation and this information to set DeGeneres up. In an absolutely horrific way. “He told me when she was out of town that he’d felt a lump in her breast and needed to feel my breasts because he didn’t want to upset her, but he needed to feel mine,” Ellen tells Letterman, adding: “He convinced me that he needs to feel my breasts and then he tries to do it again another time, and then another time.” DeGeneres was 15 or 16 when this happened. “I’m angry at myself because… I was too weak to stand up,” DeGeneres continues in recalling this painful memory. “It’s a really horrible, horrible story and the only reason I’m actually going to go into detail about it is because I want other girls to not ever let someone do that.” DeGeneres eventually goes into even more detail about the alleged incident, recalling how her stepfather attempted to break down her bedroom door and she fled out her window because she knew “it was going to go more to something.” It took Ellen a few years to tell her mom about the assault. Betty didn’t believe her at the time and remained married to the main for 18 more years. After he kept changing his story and Betty finally realized her daughter had been telling the truth… she left him. DeGeneres initially talked about this abuse in an interview with Allure in 2005. She said back then that her former stepfather had died. Betty has appeared on her daughter’s talk show on a number of occasions. As for how her relationship is with her mother is these days? “I always have taken care of her my whole life,” Ellen tells Letterman. “So I just kept taking care of her. I didn’t really let it get to me. Until recently, I kind of went, ‘I wish I would have been better taken care of. I wish she would have believed me.’ And she’s apologetic, but, you know…” DeGeneres went on to say that she hopes her story will inspire other victims of abuse. “We [women] just don’t feel like we’re worthy, or we’re scared to have a voice, and we’re scared to say no,” she says. “That’s the only reason I think it’s important to talk about it because there’s so many young girls and it doesn’t matter how old you are. When I see people speaking out, especially now, it angers me when victims aren’t believed, because we just don’t make stuff up. “And I like men, but there are so many men that get away with so much. “It is just time for us to have a voice. It’s time for us to have power.” Amen. Check out the trailer below for your first look at My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, which will also include a revealing interview with Kanye West.

Tori Roloff Expresses Concern Over Second Pregnancy

Tori Rolof is a little bit worried. She’s a tad bit concerned. She has at least one reason to not be totally psyched over her second pregnancy. The Little People, Big World star excitedly announced to her followers in mid-May that she and husband Zach will soon welcome a sibling for son Jackson. “We are so excited to announce that Jackson is going to be a big brother!” the couple shared at the time, revealing the gender of the impending baby as follows: “We can not wait to meet our sweet baby girl!” Ever since confirming this amazing news, Tori has been answering a bunch of questions from interested fans. For example: Like her father and her brother, will this child be a little person? Maybe, Tori replied. The odds are 50/50, she said. What about how this pregnancy compares to her first? Tori and Jackson became parents for the first time in May of 2017 and Tori said back then that things went relatively smoothly. There were uncomfortable moments for sure, but she really couldn’t complain very much, not compared to what some other women go through. This time around, however? Tori admits it’s ” a lot harder ” than that first time because she has “all the symptoms,” but she still sounds far happier and excited than miserable about the experience, as you can see: Like we mentioned above, though, Tori does have one concern. “Pregnancy in the summer. This is going to be interesting,” the 27-year-old wrote on her Instagram late this week. “It’s hot.” This is a very fair point, especially for someone who lives in Oregon. If it’s 80 degrees in May, as Roloff explains in the photo below, how scorching will it be in August? When Tori has a serious baby bump going on?!? This is just one more reason why women are a million times tougher than men, let’s be honest. Tori is in her second trimester and is due in November. We really are so very excited for her and Zach, who have remained on Little People, Big World even after their loved ones, Audrey and Jeremy, dropped out of the series last summer. Tori has said she and her husband have no plans to exit the show any time soon, while Zach has said he wants a “pack” of “four or five” kids. That sounds ambitious, or at least a little premature. Let’s just take it one at a time, okay? View Slideshow: Little People, Big World: The Roloffs’ Shocking Scandals… Exposed! [Updated]

Meri Brown Takes Shot at Her Sister Wives: "Selfish Women"

For several months now, we’ve been documenting and reading about tension between Kody Brown and his Sister Wives. Did Kody really take off his wedding ring and flirt up a storm during a recent gym visit? Is there any validity to all those divorce rumors? But while it remains worth looking into these stories and wondering about the future of Kody’s quartet of romance, it may also be worth investigating another relationship… … the one between Meri and her fellow Sister Wives. Meri, Robyn, Janelle and Christine Brown have not always gotten along perfectly well for one very obvious reason: They share a husband! This, of course, is the underlying premise behind their TLC series and their polygamous arrangement with Kody and also with each other. All awkward things considered, they’ve handled the situation pretty darn well — but a few cracks in their congeniality may finally be showing. Just consider what Meri posted to her Instagram Story this week. I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them,  Meri wrote, adding: In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness. This message could have been about anyone. Meri never cites Robyn, Janelle or Christine by name or anything. But it’s difficult not to read a lot into the quote, especially when you consider that Brown wanted some financial assistance to open up a bed and breadfast in Utah a little while back… … and none of the Sister Wives were willing to chip in. Doesn’t sound like the actions of women trying to empower another woman, does it? Overall, Meri has been very vocal over the past few years about her dissatisfaction as one of four of Kody’s wives. She and the long-haired reality star are still married, but they basically took a break back in 2016 and 2017, which is when Meri got entangled in a very embarrassing castfishing scandal . Just about a month ago, meanwhile, Meri expressed sadness that Kody had moved the family from Las Vegas to Arizona. “Yesterday I had this overwhelming emotion of missing Las Vegas, the place I called home for nearly 8 years,” her message began . “I mean, I was really really sad for not living there anymore.” She then referenced the sun and the beautiful day and tried to put a positive spin on her new living arrangement — but it was clear she was only attempting to see a silver lining. “There’s a lot of life ahead of me here and I’m anxious to see where it takes me,” Brown continued in late April. On the Sister Wives reunion special that aired that same month, Kody acknowledged trouble between himself and Meri. But also said they were working hard to mend fences and start over. “Meri and I had an abrupt change. Different culture, Different religious values, we might have just [gotten a divorce], but we’re fortunate enough to be blessed to be a part of a family that is its own culture,” he said on air, adding: “So we continue to move forward working on that, steadily moving in a direction where we’re just fully mended.” Meri agreed, but it also sounded like she was sadly resigned to her romantic fate more than excited about it. “You have to figure out a way almost to just cut it off and just be dead,” Meri said of her beliefs about her marriage before the catfishing scandal. “I honestly have had to mourn what is gone.” View Slideshow: Kody Brown: Sorry, Sister Wives, I’m a One-Woman Man Now! Kody concluded that the married couple is now “dated” and he’s psyched for their “new beginning.” Meri echoed this sentiment, but, again, not in especially convincing fashion. “I’m looking at a future,” she said. “I am, and I have a lot of hope for what could be.” We’re not as hopeful. But we also think that could be a great thing for Meri Brown in the end. Watch Sister Wives Season 13 Episode 10 Online
