Kim Kardashian: Planning to Leave Kanye West Before Breakdown?

Last month, Kanye West was hospitalized after suffering an emotional breakdown that resulted in a 911 call. Obviously, the incident and its fallout have been sources of stress for Kanye’s wife, Kim Kardashian, who’s been forced to grapple with two traumatic incidents in as many months. Back in October, Kim has robbed at gunpoint and relieved of millions of dollars in jewels while staying at a hotel in Paris. Now, sources say the Wests’ current rough patch has left the A-list couple on the verge of divorce. Several insiders have claimed that Kim is planning on leaving Kanye as soon as he’s stable and capable of caring for himself. Now, however, a new source has come forward claiming that Kim had been planning on leaving Kanye, but her husband’s mental health issues have actually had convinced her to give him another chance. “The divorce rumors come from before he had the breakdown,” an unidentified friend of Kim’s tells People magazine. “She didn’t know what was up with him and they weren’t spending time together. She didn’t realize it was a mental breakdown.” The insider claims that Kanye had been acting erratically in the weeks leading up to his breakdown, and Kim often became frustrated, not realizing that his behavior was the result of a worsening mental illness. Details remain scarce, but reps close to the Kardashians have indicated that the rapper had an issue with the medications he was taking as part of an ongoing treatment program. It seems the timing couldn’t have been worse, as Kim was in need of Kanye’s support in the wake of her robbery, and she was stunned to find that he was unable to provide it. Apparently, it was only after he was hospitalized that Kim realized her husband wasn’t to blame for his detachment. “Truly no truth behind divorce rumors,” the source says about Kanye’s breakdown. “It’s not something she would divorce him over.” View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos Indeed, it does seem as though Kim and Kanye are sending the message that all is well in their marriage. The couple was spotted out on the town in Santa Monica last night, their first joint public outing since before Kim’s robbery. It looks as though Kimye might be on the verge of beating the odds and silencing the critics once again.

New Details: Kanye West Remains Hospitalized, Suffers From Extreme Paranoia

Lindsay Lohan: My Mom Thinks I’m Special!

In case you missed it, Lindsay Lohan is kind of a hot damn mess right now. Well, she’s always a mess, but right now the situation is more dire than usual. Last week, Lindsay did this little interview, and while she was talking, she used this bizarre new accent . Lindsay Lohan’s Bizarre New Accent It didn’t sound like any accent that exists in reality, and she’s certainly never used it before. Disappointingly though it was, her father, Michael Lohan, tried to play it off like it wasn’t a big deal — like a grown ass adult randomly making up an accent and using it in a professional setting is totally normal. “Lindsay picks up languages like I pick up a coffee!” he joked. “I will tell you this, she’s spoken other languages on the phone with me — languages I don’t understand.” “I’ll be on the phone with her and I’ll hear her say something in fluent Farsi to a friend she’s with.” And just yesterday, Lindsay’s mother, Dina Lohan, told Us Weekly all about how Lindsay isn’t disturbed or anything tragic like that. No: she’s just special! “I have raised Lindsay and all my kids to constantly learn different languages and embrace different cultures,” she said. “Since Lindsay was a kid, she was speaking fluent Italian because my mother is Italian and would only speak to her in Italian.” OK, maybe that one’s true. That’s at least a tiny bit believable. But then Dina says that “She taught herself how to speak French, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew, and the list goes on.” “Lindsay has a very high IQ and is very intelligent and can pick up on any languages in a minute. She has that gift.” And really, Dina argues, the accent thing is nothing new. “Remember when Lindsay was just a little kid doing The Parent Trap and she was able to rock that British accent because she was so fascinated with the British culture — and still is — and embraced it fully?” she asked. “With that being said, she has always been this way. Nothing has ever changed.” Really? Not a thing? There are several rehab centers and police departments in California that might disagree . It’s just Lindsay’s new accent is so very, very upsetting. It’s not a great sign for her mental health, especially considering everything else she’s been through recently. That engagement to the allegedly abusive Egor Tarabosov , for instance? But Dina insists that Lindsay’s is fine, completely fine. Marvelous, really. “She is overseas now focusing on giving back to kids who have been refugees, who have no place to go, who have no food, who have no clothes to wear or anyone to turn to, and she helps them get everything they need,” she explains. “She sits down and communicates with each kid no matter what background they have come from or what language they speak because that’s her way of communicating to them.” “She is a worldly person who has so many talents and so much to offer and that’s what makes her so special and beautiful.” If all that’s true, then that’s great, it really is. But the accent is still weird and sad as hell. View Slideshow: 29 Wackest Photos of Lindsay Lohan

Woman Suing The Game For Sexual Battery Wants Mental Hospital Stay Banned From Case

Priscilla Rainey Says The Game Sexually Abused Her The woman who filed a $10 million sexual battery suit against rapper The Game has asked the court to ban him from telling the jury that she was held in a mental institution. Priscilla Rainey – the Game’s co-star on the reality show “She’s Got Game” – said the West Coast rapper sexually abused her during an after hours date after a day of filming. She said in court papers that The Game, who appeared drunk and/or high, was out of control and assaulted her. The alleged assaults included him forcefully reaching his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks. The contestant explained she never gave him permission to touch her and she felt degraded by the sexual assault. The woman said she suffered physical, psychological and emotional damages due to the rapper’s actions. The Game fired back at the woman, and accused her of lying about the alleged assault and demanded the lawsuit thrown out. Both parties are still battling it out in court and preparing for the upcoming trial in the case. Rainey said The Game’s claims that she was committed to a mental institution were misleading and salacious, because she said she was in fact detained for just a couple hours due to a technicality under Florida’s Mental Health Act, which allows a person to be involuntarily institutionalized. She said The Game is fully aware that his mental hospital claims are a gross mischaracterization of the evidence and only were only made to advance his ulterior motives. “Defendant should be strictly prohibited from admitting any such evidence or implying any further prejudicial conjecture into this trial because doing so would only deflect from the real issues and adds no evidentiary value to the case at all,” Rainey’s court docs state.

Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra: MORE Relationship Drama?!

This season of Teen Mom OG hasn’t been too kind to Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra. Or rather, Tyler Baltierra hasn’t been too kind to Catelynn Lowell in this season of Teen Mom OG. Check out this new sneak peek for next week’s episode of the show, let it wash over you in all its horror: Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra Fight After Rehab It’s bad, right? Things start off tense, and it looks like Tyler’s prepared himself for this conversation. He asks her how she’s doing, she tells him she’s bored, and he starts to go off. “You know what, Cate?” he tells her. “You better figure out something to do. What do you want to do?” She says that she doesn’t know, and he says “I hope that you wouldn’t let yourself go back to the way you were.” He tells Catelynn that she’s “walking through life like a log,” and that “I can’t do this forever, there’s no way. Not like this.” Yeah, things are getting pretty rough for what used to be the greatest couple on Teen Mom . “I mean, I guess that’d be a way of losing you,” that’s a thing he actually said. Finally, Tyler tells her “Listen, if you go into this thing again, I gotta check out. ‘Cause I’ll get hardened. I’ll close everybody off. It’s safe that way.” Then Catelynn cries, says “I feel like my mental illness ruins everything,” and that’s it. Thanks for all the heartache, y’all. Honestly, Tyler comes off looking like a great big jackass in all this. When this was filmed, Catelynn had just gotten home after spending 30 days in rehab, so you’d think he’d be a little more supportive, right? Wrong. Obviously. Of course, this is the guy that also charmingly cried out ” I don’t want no heifer for a wife ,” so tact really isn’t ever going to come into play here. Oh, and who could forget how, just before this upsetting little clip was filmed, Tyler observed that Catelynn was “really indulging” while having dinner? On Mother’s Day? Look, Tyler clearly loves Catelynn , and it seems like he really is trying to help her with her mental health struggles, but how long is it going to take him to learn that this is not the way to help her? She needs support, not criticism. And she definitely doesn’t need criticism the way Tyler dishes it out. This is turning out to be a real mess, but hey, what else could we possibly expect?

Amber Portwood Talks Mental Health Issues, Blames Drug Addictions on Fame

If you watch Teen Mom online , you know that over the years, Amber Portwood may have struggled harder than any the other girls in the franchise, which is really saying something. Earlier today, Cosmo published a new interview with Amber that may be her most candid to date. The troubled 26-year-old spoke to the mag about everything from her engagement to Matt Baier  to her feelings toward her troubled co-stars. Unlike so many fans of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 , Amber doesn’t hate Farrah Abraham or Jenelle Evans, though she concedes that Baier probably to bang them both .  Her thoughts about her co-stars are certainly interesting, but the most compelling part of the interview may be the portion in which Amber looks inward and describes her own battles with depression and other mental health issues. “I’m actually diagnosed,” Amber replied when asked about her recent revelation that she suffers from borderline personality disorder. “The borderline personality is a new diagnosis that I obviously don’t want to believe, but my therapist believes it. It’s hard. I was diagnosed with bipolar a long time ago. It’s really hard.” She went on to link her condition with her past addictions and violent behavior: “I think people don’t quite understand what it’s like to be bipolar and then have something like borderline personality on top of it, plus you have anxiety disorder. “I’ve just been screwed up since the beginning, which is a big reason why I used to self-medicate as well. I’m glad I have professional help now.” Amber adds that she initially struggled to keep her diagnoses a secret so as not to be judged by fans: “People don’t know about that because I tried to keep it secret. I was kind of embarrassed by it,” Amber says. “Now I’m older and stronger, and I understand that a lot of people deal with these things and that I should be open about it. That’s what I’m trying to do. “I’m still afraid to talk about it because I really don’t want to be judged as some person who can’t control herself.” Amber’s most compelling answer may have been her response to a question about what she would be doing with her life if she hadn’t become a reality television star. “Hell, I don’t know. I wouldn’t be on TV,” Portwood tells Cosmo. “I wouldn’t be in New York right now, that’s for sure. I think my life would be going OK, and I also don’t think that I would’ve been so heavy into drugs, but I think I would have been an addict probably.” Yes, Amber doesn’t blame her addictions entirely on fame, but she does seem to believe her problems wouldn’t have been so severe if Teen Mom hadn’t come into her life. However, she adds that the show also helped with recovery, as she was forced to relive her most embarrassing moments: “But I feel like Teen Mom also helped me get sober as well because I saw everything that I was doing on TV,” she says. “That completely shocked me, and I felt so horrible about it. I was disgusted with myself so it kind of helped me, yeah. It helped me want to get my head out of my ass, honestly.” These days it seems just about everyone involved with the franchise is talking about quitting Teen Mom . Amber, it seems, is still grateful for the way the show transformed her life.
