John Sundahl, a pilot and former boyfriend of Britney Spears, was tragically killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan after he was shot down flying a helicopter. John, 44, had been working for the last few months as a private contractor ferrying officials across the war-torn country. Sundahl was killed outside Kabul. His brother Karl said: “It’s heartbreaking. John went there to try to repair the country. He was trying to help people, he [often said] the country was in chaos.” Karl Sundahl told the Mirror (UK) that the U.S. State Department informed John’s family of his death and that the Taliban was responsible for the attack. Britney Spears, now 33, dated Sundahl in 2007 after they met at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting in L.A. Their romance didn’t last, but their bond did. At one point the pair were rumored to be engaged, though the singer’s rep denied this. What can’t be denied is that he tried to help her quit drinking. John recalled telling her she would die unless she got this under control. He said in an interview: “I told her, ‘If you fall off the wagon I don’t think you’ll live. I told her, ‘If you don’t want to get sober for yourself, do it for your kids.'” As a result, “She truly wants to stop what she’s doing, and she has changed her life in another direction. She doesn’t get drunk every night and pass out.” Sundahl helping her through her darkest time is not something she forgot, especially after the meltdown in which Britney Spears shaved her head . The pop superstar is reportedly taking his passing quite hard, too. It had a profound affect on the mother of Jayden James, 8, and Sean Preston, 9. Says a friend: “She is devastated. Britney thought he was a lovely man.” “John was still good friends with Britney, he talked to her regularly,” says the source. “They dated for a while but they always kept in touch afterwards.” Britney, who is in the midst of two-year stint with her Piece of Me show at Planet Hollywood in Vegas, is now dating TV writer and producer Charlie Ebersol . She recently, and abruptly, broke up with previous boyfriend David Lucado when she discovered he cheated on her, a claim he has denied in vain. Here’s an anthology of Britney’s long, turbulent romantic history: 19 Boyfriends of Britney Spears 1. Reg Jones Yes, the man who took Britney’s v-card was a high school love named Reg Jones.
Dear Bossip , I need help co-parenting with my daughter’s father. My daughter’s father and I were in relationship for fifteen years. He was the love of my life. We haven’t been together for five years and we still can’t co- parents. My daughter’s father has cheated on me three times with three different chicks and I tried to forgive him. It’s hard to forgive someone who you loved such much and for him to disrespect me so many times. He made a video tape having sex with this one chick. I tried to forgive him, but I decided to walk away from our relationship. Before I called it quits I can remember early in the relationship several people would ask him when we were getting married. On several occasions he responded he would never get married to me. Why would I stay in a relationship with a dude more than fifteen years who cheated on me one time too many and he doesn’t plan on marrying me? He brought me a promise ring like it’s supposes to keep me waiting. I have my own apartment, career, car and money and purchase everything in my apartment by myself. My daughter’s father always complains about paying bills. He wanted me to take him out to a restaurant and movies and wanted me to pay for it. I come from the old school where dudes are supposed to take a chick out and wine and dine her. My daughter’s father never came home after work. Sometimes he would come home at 7pm or whenever he feel like it, which could be at 11:30pm sometimes. He felt like just because he paid the rent and he was a man he had the upper hand. He felt like he didn’t need to help our daughter with her homework or see her before she went to bed. Every time I went food shopping he would get upset because he had to help me bring them the groceries in the house. What the heck I look like sitting around waiting for him to change his mind or decide if he wanted to be in our life. My daughter’s father was livid at me before I called it quits. I started hanging out, going to clubs, and drinking and having fun. After I was tired of partying I started working 10 hour shifts six days a week because I didn’t want to spend any time around him. Saturday after work I would travel to another state and stay the night over family member’s homes with my son until Sunday night because he refused to leave. Why should I stay in the house or relationship with a dude who doesn’t plan on marrying me? Fast forward to now, my daughter’s father and I can’t talk on the telephone without a screaming match. I tired communicating directly with his girlfriend, whom he has been in relationship with for five years. She is sick and tired of being in the middle of our mess and she changed her telephone number. My daughter has her own cell phone to talk to her father directly, but we have to communicate. I can’t have a conversation with him unless he reflects on the past. He gets too emotional on the telephone and he is always making up an excuse to hang up the phone. One time, my daughter’s father said to me, “Eventually I would have married you. You were impatient.” We never resolve the issue at hand when we talk on the telephone. I pray to God to heal our relationship so that we can co-parent and to learn how to communicate again. The judge is tired of us coming back and forth to court. The judge said we need to learn how to co-parent and communicate with each other. The judge asked us what happen in our relationship and why can’t we come to an agreement. But, neither of us wants to reveal what happen. I come from a two-parent home in the suburbs and he comes from a single-parent home in the inner city. I don’t like the fact that when I talk to my family members about my daughter’s father they always respond he doesn’t know how to be a man because he didn’t have father around when he was a child. I’m tired of people giving me the same old sorry accuse. Problems between my daughter’s father are real deep. I can’t write the things down to share with anyone because I am too embarrassed. I get too upset with myself for putting up with BS for so long. In the last five years I feel like I’ve been on a rollercoaster ride with my daughter’s father, and it’s not over. We can’t come to an agreement on anything. It’s been five years and he’s moved on, yet, he still has resentment towards me. I was in a relationship with a guy for 2 ½ years, but we are not together. My ex was sick and tired of me and my daughter’s father arguing all the time. Every time me and my daughter’s father see each other we always smile and laugh. My ex was upset. I believe we smile at each other because we remember all the good times we had together. But, on the phone we fight like cats and dogs. I apologized to him and asked him to forgive me if I’ve done anything wrong to him and he apologized to me as well. But, we always end up back at the same place. When I meet a dude who has kids with their exes and they say that their child’s mother and them is best friends I get jealous. My daughter’s father and I would never be friends or cordial. I don’t want to bring my new dude onto a rollercoaster ride to see him jump off. I need help communicating with daughter’s father. He doesn’t take me serious and always take my kindness for my weakness. My daughter turns thirteen next year and she graduates from the eighth grade. We can’t sit next to each other and have decent conversation. Everybody is looking forward to daughter eight grade graduation, but me I terrified daughter father going to cause a scene. – My Nightmare Daughter’s Father Dear Ms. My Nightmare Daughter’s Father, I don’t understand how and why some of you women fall into these situations with these men that you have chosen, and you cohabitate with them, and then create children, yet, only to break-up and you are unable to be cordial with one another and communicate effectively to at least co-parent for the sake of the child. I don’t get it. Then, you were in a relationship for 15 years, he’s cheated on you with three different women that you know of, but, you are the one who stayed after he cheated the first time. You had an out, but you stayed. Why? What’s sad is that you took him back three different times before you decided you were fed up. You left him because he said he would never marry you, but it took 15 years before you walked away. I’m sorry, but who the hell is waiting 15 years on someone and there is no progress in your relationship? You are not moving forward, you are not growing, and you are not maturing. Fifteen years with someone, and then all of a sudden you get fed up! I’m sorry, but you chose this man, and you keep choosing his behavior and allowing him to do what he did, so why would expect his behavior to change after the relationship ended? He is not going to change. He is not going to be the father, dad, or co-parent you hope he will be for the sake of your child. He’s shown you his a** for 15 years, and you refuse to believe or accept who he is. Girl, I’m so tired of saying this, but, WHEN SOMEONE SHOWS YOU WHO THEY ARE BELIEVE THEM. WHEN SOMEONE TELLS YOU WHO THEY ARE BELIEVE THEM. You and he keep running back and forth to court and you want the judge to handle it, but you and he are dishonest and don’t want to reveal the real reason why you two can’t get along. If you keep playing this game, then you’re not serious about wanting to co-parent with him. I feel that you like and enjoy the drama. It gives you the opportunity for you and he to continue to argue, fight, and have this ‘other’ sadistic relationship that no one wants to be a part of. Hell, his own girlfriend changed her number because she doesn’t want to be in the middle of it. And, you’ve lost your ex-boyfriend over it because he didn’t want to be around your incessant need to be in drama with your daughter’s father. So, therefore, it leads me to believe that you and he enjoy this sick game and all this back and forth that you two are engaged in. There is something that the both of you are getting out of it, and until you’re really ready to let him go and move on with your life, then you and he will continue this soap opera drama you two seem to enjoy. Why do you two continue to talk about the past? Why are you holding on to it, and what you had? Why are you and he arguing on the phone, and it has nothing to do with your daughter? As a matter of act why are you even engaging him and it has nothing to do with your daughter? Why are you doing all this grinning and cheesing up in each other’s face, and you’re talking about it’s because you and he remember what you once had. It’s over! Let that –ish go! Ma’am you gave me all this back story of your relationship with him, what he did, and how you shouldn’t have to wait on someone who wasn’t going to marry you. But, you chose him. You chose to stay 15 years. You chose to produce a child with him. You obviously kept choosing him to stay with him after he cheated on you three different times. So, was the back story an attempt to paint him as the bad guy? Honey, I don’t do voluntary suffering and misery. You stayed, so you got what you got. If you want to co-parent, and you’re serious about it, then you and he need to be in therapy. You need to let go of your past, and your relationship. It’s over. It’s ended. It’s done. It’s no longer. However, you and he are holding on to some unfinished business. So, go to therapy with a mediating third party and let them help you decipher through this bull-ish. Let them help you resolve this game, and end this back and forth. You two can’t seem to do it yourselves, and it’s obvious that you don’t want to the judge to handle it. Therefore, therapy with a professional counselor will help you get to the root of your issues, the underlying tension of your drama, and end this torrid love/hate relationship you have with one another, and this ongoing relationship that you two don’t seem to want to let go. – Terrance Dean Photo source: Shuttershock Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Now that Kris Jenner is divorced , she’s reportedly worried about her kids drifting away from her. Makes sense, particularly since Kris spent the holidays alone after being ditched by all of her offspring. Sources say Kris is deeply worried by the fact that Kendall and Kylie Jenner are now forced to make time for her and their dad separately, and she fears she’s losing touch with her two youngest daughters. So naturally, Kris is attempting to solve the problem the same way that she deals with every other issue – by throwing a bunch of money at it! Yes, Kris is attempting to buy her daughters’ love…which may be difficult, considering Kylie and Kendall are millionaires in their own right. “She recently bought the girls expensive matching watches,” a source tells Radar Online. “Not to mention the overpriced greyhound puppy she bought Kylie for Christmas.” (Note: Insiders say Kylie is neglecting that puppy already, because of course she is.) “Kris knows that the girls both favor Bruce,” the source adds. “It’s obvious that she’s trying to buy their affection.” “Kendall has done everything she can to keep her distance from Kris and blames her for the family’s demise, whereas Kylie loves her mother but will always take Bruce’s side.” Smart girl, Kendall. Kris is nothing but trouble. Besides, once Bruce transitions into a woman , we’re sure he’ll be all the mom you need. 17 Kendall and Kylie Jenner GIFs 1. Kylie and Kendall Jenner Share a Moment Kendall and Kylie exchange a meaningful look. These two can communicate without words.
I’ve seen Rosario Dawson in person, at least once, about a month ago…and she was just big and uninteresting to look at…I mean I guess she’s seen better years…like in the 1990s when she was recruited by a younger and more perverted Harmony Korine to be the 15 year old virgin who ran around in her bra and panties in KIDS, all young and fresh and criminal to masturbate to, which is probably where her career should have ended, instead it allowed her to turn her life as an immigrant hispanic, squatting in abandoned buildings, or at least that’s what she said, to become the busty star of the early 2000s, but cocaine and cock and whatever else she’s done has made her boring…washed up…haggard and the worst….but people still like her since Hispanics…always have fans as they act as a beacon of hope to those hispanics cleaning toilets…that one day they won’t be cleaning toilets…
Last week, Lindsay Lohan contracted a virus known as Chikungunya. Lohan was on vacation in French Polynesia when she contracted the untreatable, mosquito-borne pathogen which can be fatal in some cases. Remarkably, less than one week later, Lindsay seems to have recovered. She hit the town on New Year’s Eve and posted several Instagram pics of herself partying in Manhattan. However, some folks who have scrutinized Linday’s latest selfies say that the actress’ brush with illness appears to have taken a toll. Some fans have pointed out that Lindsay looks thinner than usual in the above pics, leading to speculation that the illness was more serious than LiLo let on. In the past, Lindsay’s weight loss has been blamed on substance abuse, but she claims to be clean and sober these days. Even when properly treated, Chikungunya can linger in the body for several weeks, but the initial fever generally only lasts a couple days. Thus, many have suggested that Lindsay might be sicker than she realizes and should probably be home in bed rather than hitting up NYC hot spots. Though her recent stint on the London stage went better than expected Lindsay was “too ill” to perform on at least one occasion. At the time, she was accused of faking it, and now we’re starting to hope that was the case. Multiple bouts with illness in the span of just a couple months could be a bad sign for someone as young as Lindsay. Lindsay Lohan Partying Photos 1. Lindsay Lohan: Cocaine Nose? Some Instagram users have suggested that Lindsay has visible cocaine in her nostril here. Sadly, we wouldn’t be surprised.
Money got Teresa Giudice into her present predicament, so maybe she thinks enough cash can get her out of it? Whatever the case, ever since she was sentenced to 15 months in prison for fraud, Teresa has been selling herself out at every opportunity. The Giudices scored big bucks for pre-prison interview with Andy Cohen , and they reportedly filmed an entire season of The Real Housewives of New Jersey (plus a Christmas special) in about half the time it usually takes. But now, it looks like the well has gone dry, and Teresa’s efforts to score one final payday before she gets locked up have fallen depressingly flat. “She was looking for paid holiday photo gigs with her family and personal appearances,” a source tells Radar Online. “She is trying to pocket all the money she can before heading off to the big house.” “We’re told no one even wanted her for press on New Year’s Eve.” Some have speculated that Teresa’s last-minute push for work is less about stacking funds, and more about attempting to distract herself from the reality of her situation. Earlier today, a source revealed that Teresa is still lying to her kids about the fact that she’s just days away from heading to prison for more than a year. From the sound of things, she might be lying to herself, as well. Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to see the Giudice family in happier times. 11 Teresa Giudice GIFs That Should Worry Her Fellow Inmates 1. Table Flipping Fiend Teresa Giudice is not gonna take any crap. Her table-flipping reputation will precede her in prison, thanks to The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1.
Joy-Anna Duggar might not receive as much press as her older, more married sisters, but that’s only because while they’re off doing girly things like getting pregnant, Joy-Anna is living life like she’s in a training montage from a Rocky movie: Joy-Anna Duggar Lifts 145 Pounds Possibly pregnant Jessa Duggar posted the above video with a caption explaining that the long-skirted, long-haired beast mode lifter in the clip is not an extra from Braveheart, but in fact, her younger sister: “Joy-Anna was tearin’ it up in the workout room today!” Jessa wrote. “She beat her previous record by parallel squatting 145 pounds!” Yeah, that’s probably about what Joy-Anna weighs, which means it’s a seriously impressive feat. As for her workout attire, Joy-Anna is rocking a skirt that goes below her knees, as is required of Duggar women. Naturally, it wouldn’t be very lady-like to do squats in a skirt, so Joy-Anna is also wearing a pair of sweatpants underneath her skirt, because…we’re not really sure why. Wouldn’t the sweatpants have done pretty much the same job on their own? Anyway, seeing this display of Joy-Anna’s physical strength makes us think she might have a shot at a welterweight title some day, but more importantly she could become the mythical Duggar Who Breaks Free. For years, everyone Jana Duggar would be the one to break away , but from the looks of this video, we’re guessing Joy-Anna has more in mind for her future than just changing diapers. Plus, she’s gotta be pissed at her folks for naming her Joy-Anna. We know it’s hard to come up with that many “J” names, but sheesh. Watch 19 Kids and Counting online to bet your friends on which of member of the massive Duggar brood will be the first to seriously disappoint his or her parents. 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their kids on dates in order to maintain “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.
You never quite know how a traffic stop is going to play out, but this teenager who got pulled over by a cop truly never expected what he had in store for her. Neither will you believe the outcome until you watch this video … Teen Gets Pulled Over, Receives Surprise of a Lifetime Audra Daniloff of Saukville, Wisconsin, got a ticket that day, alright.

While all else pales in comparison to the fact that she’ll be around to attend many more concerts after this one, his grand gesture was one to remember. It may never be topped, though he still has plenty of time to try … Audra is recovering and will attend college next year. Congrats! 15 Epic Reactions to Surprises Caught on Camera 1.
