Charlie Sheen Drunkenly Dodges Drug Bust!

If you were worried that Charlie Sheen’s HIV diagnosis would cause the hard-partying actor to change his ways, fear not: Chuckles is still living the life of a jet-setting drug sponge, and he hasn’t lost his ability to narrowly avoid capture from international authorities like he’s James Bond … … If, at some point in his travels, James Bond had developed a serious taste for bath salts, of course. According to Radar Online, the Sheenius’ latest brush with the law took place at Brown Field Airport in San Diego, when his plane was forced to land for an inspection following a trip to Mexico, where Charlie had presumably devoted several weeks to scholarly research of the lifestyle of tequila worms. “Charlie was on his private plane coming back from Cabo San Lucas, where he’d been on a bender, and had to stop in San Diego for inspection,” a source close to Sheen tells the website. To the complete shock of literally no one on the planet, Sheen was more than a little tipsy during the search: “Charlie was hammered, and upon inspection, some sort of narcotic appeared to be found on board,” the insider says. Drugs ?! On Charlie Sheen’s private jet?! What’s next, evidence of corruption and incompetence in the Trump administration?! The tipster says authorities then “took all the bags off the plane, and had drug-sniffing dogs go through the plane and bags.” The insider adds: “A dog sniffed around one of the suitcases on the tarmac. The dog scratched on the case, and it was opened, but it was a false alarm.” A witness to the inspection says Sheen conveniently excused himself when the drug dog came on the scene: “Drunk Charlie scuttled off to the bathroom, saying he had to pee,” the onlooker tells Radar. “Charlie, who may have ditched the drugs in the bathroom, was relieved in more ways than one, and reboarded the plane.” “Relieved in more ways than one”! You slay us, source! Earlier this month there was talk of Sheen undergoing “life-saving” detox following a family intervention, but we think it’s safe to say the treatment didn’t stick. Either that, or Charlie is experimenting with a new form of sobriety that allows margarita-guzzling contests in Cabo. Now that’s a health plan we can all get behind.

Demi Lovato Shills For Weight Loss Tea as Self Love, Fans Go Ham

Demi Lovato has become a body-positivity “champion” in recent years, and for good reason. The 24-year-old is a strong role model. Since announcing her struggles with eating disorders and mental health issues, she’s been renowned for her candor and message. So what’s the issue? Lovato is a spokeswoman for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), and as a noted ED survivor herself, she fits the bill. Fans were shocked, however, after the singer posted a photo promoting “detox tea” and a vexing message on her vaunted Instagram. “This year is all about #selflove truly taking care of myself and exercising has changed everything for me,” she captioned the picture. “@teamiblends has #sponsored my 30 day detox challenge to help get rid of toxins and my bloating for summer,” adds Demi. “I’m on Day 7 right now and it’s so easy!” “I just drink their tea every single day in my favorite purple tumbler. I love taking it to shoots and the studio with me.” “If you are ready to be your best YOU this summer, use my Code: DEMI for 20% off your detox program when you check out!” “I want all of you to do the challenge!” The issue, if it wasn’t abundantly clear, is that “detox teas” are 1. fairly unhealthy and 2. usually touted as weight-loss products. In fairness, Lovato didn’t outright promote the tea for weight loss purposes, but the implication is such that fans were unhappy. Many believe that even such teas can be triggers for people with eating disorders, as they are often misused as laxatives or purgers. Moreover, the health community is divided on such drinks in general as it is believed that they can cause a myriad of problems. Needless to say, Lovato was quickly taken to task for irresponsible promotion by many of her 57 million Instagram followers. “How has detox tea something to do with self love and eating disorerrecovery?” @heidirecovering wrote in the comments.  “Self love is about accepting oneself, not detoxing. I used to look up to you, but this is the lowest point ever.” Fans called her out for pushing such a thing on people who view her as a role model thanks to her own struggles with bulimia. @thebalanced.babe wrote, “I love you Demi, but please.” “Ask yourself why would you advertise something so damaging to people struggling with EDs, disordered eating, and more.” “Impressionable young people to look up to you.” Others were less harsh, but still un-enthralled. “Please take this post down Demi, a laxative will NOT make me the best me,” urged another Lovatic, @selenamyqueef. The guise of “self-love” was what really left her army of followers steamed, and @chooselifewarrior, for one, took her to TASK on Snapchat: Look, obviously Demi is a very well-meaning girl. She’s built up a lot of credibility at this point, being open and honest about her body image issues and self-esteem struggles for years. Those Demi Lovato swimsuit pics she’s been flaunting lately are jaw-dropping, as is the incredible confidence level she’s shown. There isn’t anything wrong with wanting to change one’s body, or sharing your experiences with others who follow you on social media. Using questionable products to do so, however? Especially products potentially harmful for people with eating disorders – many of whom look up to Demi for exactly that reason? View Slideshow: Demi Lovato Instagram Pics Are the Hottest Thing in Human History The star and NEDA have yet to comment, but we expect some kind of response soon, given the current backlash against this plug.

Chris Soules Knew Victim Killed in Hit and Run Crash: Report

Earlier today, we reported that former Bachelor star Chris Soules was arrested after fleeing the scene of a fatal car accident. Soules was immediately taken into custody after being chased down and apprehended by local police in his Iowa hometown. He appeared before a judge in Buchanan County Court this morning and was released on $10,000 bond pending trial. It may be some time before we find out what the legal system has in store for Soules, though officials say he was not under the influence. But whatever the outcome in court, Soules will undoubtedly carry the burden of his actions for the rest of his days. According to sources close to the case, Soules drove his Chevy pickup truck into the back of a tractor being driven by 66-year-old Kenneth Mosher. Now, a relative of Mosher’s named Richard Roepke reveals for the first time that Soules was well acquainted with the victim and his family . “Everyone around here is in shock,” Richard Roepke told Radar moments ago. “He knew them, they’re neighbors.” “We’re feeling very sad, everyone knows Chris’ family.” Roepke added that while he feels sympathy for the Soules family, he believes Chris should be punished for his involvement in Mosher’s death. “Chris has created his own problems,” Roepke told Radar . “This is life changing for him. He has to deal with it himself. “This isn’t the direction his family wanted him to go in.” Roepke went on to state that he believes Soules’ “mistake” is the result of a generational inability to accept responsibility. “It’s Chris’ age and generation, it’s not right,” Roepke said. “It was huge mistake. That will haunt him for the rest of his life.” One of the questions that Roepke would like to see answered during Soules’ trial is what many of his fans are asking as well: Did the former reality star – dubbed ” Prince Farming ” during his time on The Bachelor – know that Mosher was dead when he left the scene of the accident? “We’re trying to figure out why he left the scene,” Roepke said. “This is something he has to share and the rest of us can only speculate. He may have known Kenny was already gone at that point.” “What was going through his head? It is a bad day.” That’s putting it mildly. Following Soules’ arraignment this morning, his attorney issued a statement saying that the 35-year-old “was devastated to learn that Kenneth Mosher passed away.” “His thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Mosher’s family.” We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Briana DeJesus: Why the Heck is She on Teen Mom 2 Now?!

Teen Mom 2 Nation was shocked this winter when MTV made an unprecedented move and added a fifth cast member in Briana DeJesus. It’s still not entirely clear why the network decided to recycle the 16 & Pregnant alum, but we’re beginning to piece together the clues. The above photo of Briana is basically a representation of Jenelle Evans’ brain when she heard the news of DeJesus joining Teen Mom 2 . All of the cast members are pissed about Briana , in fact, and Jenelle, Kailyn Lowry, Leah Messer and Chelsea Houska may have a point: Why fix what ain’t broke?! These days, more people watch Teen Mom 2 online than ever before, TV ratings are solid, and social engagement is through the roof. If there were ever a formula NOT to mess with, this would appear to be it, but insiders have revealed why the network made the call. “Some of the girls are unreliable with filming, and others just are no longer bringing the drama viewers want to see,” one source said. Hmm. Chelsea Houska is the only one who doesn’t bring non-stop drama, so that’s gotta be her … and Jenelle’s gotta be Ms. Unreliable. Right? In any case, “they needed someone to spice it up,” even if there was no single determining factor that made MTV pull the trigger. Spice it up she will, too. There’s no denying that for a show that thrives on fights, bad boy exes, plastic surgery and baby daddy mysteries, DeJesus is qualified. Briana checks all of the aforementioned boxes and then some, and you can bet your a– she’ll bring the drama to the 2018 season. The 22-year-old frequently clashed with her own mom, Roxanne, on Teen Mom 3, the short-lived spinoff to OG and TM2 from 2013. DeJesus also feuded with the father of her five-year-old daughter Nova, Devoin Austin, a guy who can make Adam Lind look saintly. Okay, maybe that was a little bit of a stretch, but Austin has been arrested for drug possession, burglary, and shoplifting in his heyday. Roxanne even sought a restraining order against Austin at one point, claiming he threatened Briana and that he possessed weapons. Ultimately, that effort was unsuccessful due to insufficient evidence, but it underscores the non-stop tumult that has marked her life. Oh, and perhaps most notably, and most currently,  DeJesus is pregnant with her second child , and has yet to reveal the kid’s father. That makes 40 percent of the Teen Mom 2 cast. One would have guessed that Kailyn Lowry had the whole mystery baby daddy angle locked up and all to herself this season. No longer. Speaking of Kailyn, get this: Lowry’s former husband/second baby daddy  Javi Marroquin and Brittany DeJesus , Briana’s sister, were just busted in bed together. So there’s that.  Javi insisted that there’s nothing going on and they just had “business in LA” together last weekend, but Snapchatting in bed? Honestly? Not a lot of love lost between the Teen Mom 2 cast and Briana, or the Teen Mom 3 cast for that matter. Some haters are just hating. Mackenzie McKee is jealous she didn’t get the job, having gone out of her way to start drama, spam social media and stay relevant. For years. Years! And what does MTV do? Hire her former co-star who’s not NEARLY as popular on Instagram. The indignity. View Slideshow: Briana DeJesus Photos: From 16 & Pregnant to Teen Mom 2! Mackenzie’s feelings aside, Briana is already filming the new season, and will be featured when she show returns, likely next winter. How do you feel about her addition to the cast? Excited for more drama, which there’s no doubt she’ll bring, or sad about less screen time for others? Is MTV tinkering with a show that’s fab as is? Hit the comments below to discuss!

Farrah Abraham vs. Kendra Wilkinson: Unexpected Feud Alert!

When we first learned that  Farrah Abraham would appear on Marriage Boot Camp , our initial reaction could be summed up with the letters “W,” “T,” and “F.” After all, Farrah’s not married, and she’s currently not even in a relationship (though the fact that she was single didn’t stop her from appearing on VH1’s Couple’s Therapy). Then we found out that this was the “family edition” of the show, and we went from confused to way too excited. You see, Farrah’s family is almost as messed up as Farrah herself. For starters, her parents spend an inordinate amount of time together despite being divorced. On top of that, Farrah’s mother, Debra Danielsen wants to be a rapper , while her father, Michael Abraham, is basically a human doormat. Michael and Debra can’t quite rise to Farrah’s level of insanity, but they make a noble effort, and we commend them for it. Of course, in order to get a feel for just how emotionally unstable a person is, you have to get them out of their comfort zone and put them in the presence of someone who will call them on their bullsh-t. Enter Kendra Wilkinson. Kendra has plenty of messed-up marriage experience, but she’s appearing on Marriage Boot Camp in order to sort out her issues with her mother – and to lock horns with Farrah. In a recent interview, Kendra opened up about her time on set with the Abrahams, and she’s not shy about admitting that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with them. (Which is, of course, the perfect reaction to being forced to spend time with Farrah and her family.) “I respect everybody and their situation and their problems. But, I don’t know, I didn’t really – their whole little thing, I wanted to not be in the same room with them,” Kendra told People magazine. The shade-throwing continued when Kendra basically pulled a Mariah, claiming she didn’t know anything about Farrah before they shot Marriage Boot Camp together: “I don’t watch her or anything so I wanted to start from scratch when it came to meeting other celebrities from the house,” she explained. “I don’t like coming from judgment, I like to just know people – starting from scratch, not who they are, what they do on TV.” Kendra proceeded to drop the mic by basically saying the Abrahams faked their drama for the cameras: “I didn’t trust it,” Wilkinson said. “I like real and raw. They were cool, I just kind of stayed away.” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs That’s some grade-A trash talk. We think Farrah may have finally met her match. Watch Marriage Boot Camp online to see two of reality TV’s angriest women butt heads.

Erin Moran: Mourned & Remembered by Happy Days Co-Stars

Yesterday, we heard the sad news that Erin Moran, an actress best known for her role on Happy Days, had passed away at the age of 56. At this point in time, the cause of her death is unknown — officials have scheduled an autopsy to clear everything up. Right now, we know that around 4:00 yesterday afternoon in Indiana, authorities received a call about an “unresponsive female.” But when EMTs arrived to the location, the woman — Erin — was already dead. It was a sad ending to what seemed to be a sad life. She began her acting career when she was only five years old. She appeared in commercials and had small roles in various television shows until she landed the role of Joanie Cunningham on Happy Days. Erin played Joanie for the full ten seasons that Happy Days ran, and she played her again for one season of the spin-off series Joanie Loves Chachi. She had a few other roles after the show ended, most recently in the film Not Another B Movie in 2010, but she never had the same level of fame or success since. Several reports claim that she began struggling with addiction issues, and she also struggled with her finances, eventually ending up completely broke . But no matter what happened in her life, no matter what caused her to end up the way she did, one fact remains: She was clearly well loved and respected by her Happy Days family. Ron Howard, who played Erin’s big brother Richie Cunningham, remembered her on Twitter, writing “Such sad sad news. RIP Erin. I’ll always choose to remember you on our show making scenes better, getting laughs and lighting up tv screens.” Henry Winkler, The Fonz himself, tweeted “OH Erin… now you will finally have the peace you wanted so badly here on earth …Rest In It serenely now.. too soon.” Don Most, who played Richie’s friend Ralph, made a statement to the Hollywood Reporter, saying “I am so incredibly sad to hear about Erin. She was a wonderful, sweet, caring, talented woman.” “As I write this I can’t really comprehend this right now. A very painful loss. It gives me some comfort to know that she’s with Tom, Al, Pat and Garry. Rest In Peace, sweet Erin.” He’s referring, of course, to Tom Bosley, Al Molinaro, and Pat Morita, all beloved actors from Happy Days, and Garry Marshall, the show’s creator. Anson Williams, who played Richie’s other buddy, Potsie, released a statement of his own that read “Erin was a person who made everyone around her feel better.” View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam “She truly cared about others first, a true angel. I will miss her so much, but know that she is in God’s hands. RIP sweet angel.” Her loss is clearly being felt deeply by those who knew her, and it’s such a testament to the kind of person she apparently was. Our condolences to all of Erin’s friends and family.

Kim Zolciak: Her 4-Year-Old Son Suffers Vicious Dog Attack

Kim Zolciak can be a mighty ridiculous human being , and usually when we talk about her, it’s to poke fun. But what happened to her and her family this weekend is no laughing matter. As Kim revealed in a lengthy Instagram post earlier this afternoon, her four-year-old son, Kash, was attacked by a dog, and the poor little boy was seriously injured. “I don’t know where to start,” she began her post. “The last 14hrs of our lives has been a living nightmare.” “My sweet @kashbiermann was bit by a dog and had very traumatic injuries. I’ve never prayed so hard, or been so scared in my life.” Kim continued “My husband, our daughters, Kj, Tracey, his nanny, Michael Beck and everyone close to us all pulled us together and held each other up.” To really hit the tragedy home, she shared a heartbreaking picture of Kash with his father and Kim’s husband, Kroy Biermann, as he laid in a hospital bed. Poor Kash had such terrible injuries that he required surgery — she explained that he “was in the operating room for a couple hours,” and that “now we are praying for a quick speedy recovery.” Kim was set to appear on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live tonight, but she won’t be able to make the show, for obvious reasons. Still, ever the professional , she said that she’ll “do my best to make it up very soon!” Kim closed her post by thanking her family, friends and fans for praying for Kash, “and most importantly Thank you God for your protection.” Thanks to the “incredible medical team” that’s helping Kash with his injuries, she said that he’ll be able to come home after spending a few days in the hospital recovering. Kim hasn’t explained what exactly happened, what dog attacked her son or why, or what injuries he’s suffered. Understandably so — we’re sure she’s got enough on her plate right now without filling the masses in on every horrific detail. But for once, instead of the comments on her Instagram posts filling up with plastic surgery accusations and general nonsense, it seems her followers are wishing her and her family all the best. View Slideshow: Kim Zolciak Body Selfies Even on Kash’s own Instagram account, which isn’t very active on account of him being four years old, people are rushing to offer him prayers and “get well soon” messages. Kim was right — this really does sound like a living nightmare.

Kim Kardashian Wears Virgin Mary Dress, Pisses Off the World Yet Again

Remember earlier this week when, to celebrate the sacred holiday of 4/20, Kim Kardashian put a surprising new line of merchandise on her website? Perhaps you don’t. It was 4/20, after all. To recap, Kim released some nifty new items like pieces of clothing proudly displaying the message “Sorry for what I said while I was high,” a few lighters, and something called an “ass tray.” But the most controversial item for sale was — wait for it — a prayer candle lovingly decorated with a photo of Kim as the Virgin Mary . Iconic, right? Or insanely blasphemous, depending on your outlook. As it turns out, many, many people were offended by the candle. And, as always , they took to social media to announce their displeasure. “Really your face on the candle of the Virgin Mary are you that vane?” one person asked her. “Ooh wee are you going to get the wrath of God.” Another outraged soul wrote “Have you no respect for the Virgin Mary!!!! I am offended by your candle! Shame on you disrespecting Jesus’ mother!” One particularly salty person said “If anything, your face deserves to be on the fire inside the candle.” But hey, to be fair, maybe Kim wasn’t fully aware of all the pieces in this new line or merchandise before she signed off on it, you know? She is a busy woman , after all. It could have been someone else’s idea, and she just agreed to it without really considering it. Well, that could be possible, if Kim didn’t step out in a Virgin Mary dress shortly after the controversy began. Yes, photos have made their way to the internet of Kim wearing a short, tight, see-through dress with a photo of Mary herself (not the Kim/Mary hybrid from the candle) right in the middle of her chest. She’s obviously not sorry. And the Catholic League itself considers the dress a step too far — they said as much in a scathing new statement they made about Kim. The statement begins with “We’ve never seen any indication that Kim Kardashian venerates the Blessed Virgin Mary — she is a former porn star — so her latest headline-grabbing stunt can only be seen as exploitative.” “Former porn star”? Yeah, this is going to get bad. The Catholic League takes issue with Kim’s candle, of course, but also with its inclusion with the other weed-tastic items. They also refer to an item with her “bare mammoth behind” on it. Amazing. Simply amazing. They hate on Kim’s dress, which, honestly, is actually kind of cute, then close the statement with a solid bit of shade. “We know that she and her family have been through a lot — their problems are mostly self-induced — but that is no excuse for ripping off Catholic iconography to make a quick buck and grab headline news.” View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian: 19 Reasons Why She Isn’t That Terrible Kim hasn’t responded to this statement or any of the controversy, and we doubt she will. But man, what a roller coaster this has been.

Kim Kardashian: SLAMMED For "Blasphemous" Merchandise!

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to criticism. In fact, outside of her family members and particularly passionate sex tape connoisseurs , it’s rare to hear anyone say anything positive about Mrs. Kardashian-West. We’ve heard all the familiar complaints before: Kim lacks talent; she’s the world’s greatest narcissist; she’s set an impossible standard with regard to butt size … The list goes on and on. But one thing that Kim has never been accused of before (at least outside of the Westboro Baptist Church) is blasphemy. She crossed that controversy off her bucket list yesterday, thanks to the most ironic use of “virgin” imagery since the dawn of human sexual activity: As you can see, that’s a prayer candle with a photo of Kim in Virgin Mary mode, and it’s objectively hilarious. Artists and corporations have been using religious imagery to sell stuff for as long as we’ve had artists and corporations, but for some reason, Kim’s latest merch really struck a nerve with some of her social media followers: “Disgusting! As a Christian I’m truly offended. If you knew who the Virgin MARY was and represented you would actually be embarrassed,” one woman tweeted. “Kim Kardashian as the Virgin Mary……. is just as horrible as Kendall’s Pepsi ad …. what’s wrong with y’all, y’all that money hungry?” another asked. (Answer: Yeah. Duh.) And, of course, no witch burning would be complete without a healthy dose of slut-shaming. “Funny but you are not virgin from anywhere baby,” one guy helpfully pointed out to the mother of two. There’s a whole lot of knee-jerkin’ going on here. It’s enough to make you wonder if these people get angry every time an actor portrays Jesus. Anyway, it seems the candle was offered as part of a 4/20 sale on Kim’s website. Most of the new items were weed-related, including a hat and lighter that read, “Sorry for what I said while I was high.” The whole thing begs the question:  Is Kim a stoner and she’s somehow managed to keep it a secret all these years? We have our doubts. We’re pretty she doesn’t need drugs, as no one has ever experienced a high as intense ad the one Kim gets when she looks in the mirror. It was probably just an attempt to cash in on 4/20 coordinated by whoever runs her website, and Kim was probably only vaguely aware it was taking place. The story has a happy ending, as that person probably got a promotion when Kim woke up and saw that her name was trending because of a candle.
