Kailyn Lowry: I Haven’t Seen My Dad Since 2009 … And I’m Glad!

Whether you love her or hate her, there’s no denying that Kailyn Lowry had one hell of a rough upbringing. Obviously, the most publicized aspect of Lowry’s adolescence was her teen pregnancy, which led her to seek solace and shelter with Jo Rivera’s family after being abandoned by her mother. In the years since, Lowry has described her mother as an alcoholic and stated that the two have them seldom have any contact. She’s been less vocal on the subject of her father, and it turns out there’s good reason for that. As she revealed in a recent tweet, Kail hasn’t seen her father since Thanksgiving of 2009. “The week of Thanksgiving 2009 was when I met my dad for the first time,” Kail tweeted yesterday. “And even though we haven’t met again. That was an important time in my life.” If you’ve been with the Teen Mom/16 and Pregnant franchise from the very beginning, then Kail’s revelation may not come as much of a surprise. As In Touch Weekly points out , Kailyn’s reunion with the man who impregnated her mother was captured by an MTV camera crew. “I met my sperm donor for the first and last time on 16 and Pregnant . I was 17-years-old and I never looked back. He doesn’t reach out and neither do I,” she stated in an interview earlier this year. “It gets lonely around holidays and I’m sad for my kids during those times…but I wouldn’t be where I am today if things were different.” So when Kail says the meeting with her father constituted an “important time” in her life, we assume she means that it solidified what she had long suspected: She would be forced to face the challenges of adulthood without any support from her parents. Lowry affirmed this sad reality in her most recent memoir:  “I didn’t ever have an example of a mother or father when I was growing up,” she wrote in A Letter of Love . “Since I didn’t have a point of reference on how to love, I desperately want my boys to understand that I have tried to love them in the best way that I can.” These days, not only is Kail a loving and devoted mother, she’s also a wildly successful businesswoman who has launched and maintained a one-woman media empire worth millions. We think it’s safe to say she’s one apple who fell very far from the tree. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry Announces “Pothead” Haircare Line, Gets Shamed By Ignorant Trolls

Meghan Markle: MAJOR BABY BUMP ALERT!!!!

There have been many rumors about Meghan Markle of late. Some outlets have claimed she will soon pose nude . Others have written that she’s in the Queen’s doghouse due to her fugly clothing . We can’t confirm or deny these pieces of chatter, but we do know the following… … Meghan Markle is definitely pregnant! We know this because the Duchess herself has confirmed it, of course. But we also know it because we got a glimpse of Markle’s midsection when she stepped out with Prince Harry at the Royal Variety Performance in London on Monday. As you can see by the photos above and below, the Duchess is very much showing at this point, by which we mean: HELLO THERE, BABY BUMP!!!!! The aforementioned event happened to fall on Markle and Harry’s six-month anniversary, making it extra special for the world to really get its first look here at the couple’s growing child-to-be. And Meghan obviously isn’t hiding anything at this point, either, as she was spotted cradling her precious baby bump on multiple occasions while out and about. Harry and his gorgeous wife attended the annual televised event to support the Royal Variety Charity, which benefits hundreds of UK entertainers in need of help and assistance due to old age, ill-health or difficult times. It’s an admirable cause. The famous and beloved twosome recently wrapped up their first official tour as a married couple, capping it off with what many consider to be the most stunning maternity ever snapped by anyone ever. You can see it HERE . “Australia, Fiji, Tonga and NZ – we leave feeling inspired and reminded of how every single one of us can make a difference,” Harry wrote as a caption to the aforementioned image. He didn’t say anything about the baby on board for him and Markle, but this has become the norm for most Royal Couples. They announce the pregnancy through Kensington Palace and then try their hardest not to feed into the paparazzi frenzy surrounding the impending birth. Like Prince William and Kate Middleton before them, Meghan and Harry are just trying to mostly lay low and prepare for parenthood at this point. Back in mid-October, the Palace released a statement that read: Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019. Their Royal Highnesses have appreciated all of the support they have received from people around the world since their wedding in May and are delighted to be able to share this happy news with the public. We’ve heard the Royal Baby is due on May 2, but we don’t know that for certain. All we can say without any shadows of any doubts is this; We can’t wait to meet him or her!

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Who Won Season 27?

Did Dancing with the Stars deliver another shocking twist to close out Season 27?  In a season that has been filled with controversy, with fans ruling it a popularity contest as opposed to a dancing competition, there have already been some headscratchers.  From the surprise elimination of Tinashe early into the season to last week’s stunning elimination of Juan Pablo Di Pace on the same night he landed two perfect scores, we think it’s fair to say fans are less than impressed with the series.  Hey, that’s not to say we still think Milo Manheim, Alexis Ren, Bobby Bones, and Evanna Lynch could even be ruled as celebrities.  To the casual viewer, this season probably feels like a civilian edition, and we can’t blame them. But how did those final routines pan out and did they even matter when it came to the final vote?  Let’s break them down one last time! Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten — Argentine Tango 27/30; Freestyle: 30/30 It was clear from the first week of the competition that there was a lot going for both Alexis and Alan. They had the chemistry sorted and later embarked on a relationship.  Their Argentine Tango was not without flaws, and it was a misstep for this otherwise solid pair. Thankfully, they pulled it back with a rock-solid freestyle that showed why viewers are voting for them: They’re both flexible as hell! Bobby Bones and  Sharna Burgess —  Cha-Cha: 24/30; Freestyle: 30/30 Bobby has come across as a mere novelty act. The radio personality has charisma for days, but he’s been lacking as far as dancing ability goes.  It’s surprising he lasted this long in the competition. His Cha-Cha with Sharna was much of the same, but the Freestyle definitely kicked things up a few gears.  Where has that  level of dancing been all season long? It did seem like it was too little, too late, but we still had the results to go.  Milo Manheim and Witney Carson — Charleston: 30/30; F reestyle : 30/30 Next to Juan Pablo, Milo seemed like the next best thing. He and Witney have been pulling in high scores all season long, and the pair secured another two perfect scores.  They perform well together and are confident. Whoever put them together at the start of the season knew they would make for a powerful duo.  Evanna Lynch and Keo Motsepe — Halloween Night tango: 30/30; Freestyle: 30/30 Evanna started the season off in the middle of the pack, but she quickly adapted, and got her confidence back as the season progressed.  Pulling off two perfect scores in one night is difficult, but it shows just how far she’s come since that first week.  After all of those performances, there was still room for Grocery Store Joe to show up with some of his Bachelorette alumni to prove why he should have been kicked out in the first week.  Seriously though, who the heck was voting for that dude? In the end, Bobby Bones and Sharna Burgess secured the Mirrorball Trophy, and yes, it’s got to be one of the biggest twists to rock the series.  It’s high time the dancing had a higher weighting on the results because the viewer vote is starting to ruin the show.  Will there be changes implemented? Time till tell.  In the meantime, congratulations Bobby and Sharna! What are your thoughts on the finale? Hit the comments below! View Slideshow: Dancing with the Stars: The Odds are Out! Who Will Win?

Noah Brown to Welcome New Alaskan Bush Person!

Attention, Alaskan Bush People fans:  A new Alaskan Bush Person is on the way. Noah Brown, the youngest child of reality stars Ami and Billy Brown, has confirmed to People Magazine that he and his relatively new wife are expecting their first child. The couple has only been husband and wife for three months, but it takes far less time than that to conceive a child. “We’ve taken another step in the adventure that is our life together,” Noah tells the aforementioned publication, adding: “We didn’t try, and we didn’t not try. We figured that we’d just kind of let God and nature take their course and we ended up pregnant.” We’re pretty sure that if you have unprotected sex for any extended period of time, you are actively trying to have a baby. But parsing Brown’s words and/or philosophy isn’t the point right now, we know. The news is especially emotional for 26-year old because of what he and his family have been going through for over a year now. Many months ago, as you likely know, Amy Brown was diagnosed with lunch cancer. She appears to be in remission now, but many outlets claimed she was on her death bed on more than one occasion. Noah says that Ami cried when she learned she would soon be a first-ime grandmother. And Rhain said the following of her in-laws: “Every last one of the brothers has suddenly become so much more protective. It’s ridiculous. “It’s like, my raging hormones have drawn out their testosterone-fueled protectiveness. “Everyone’s like, ‘Don’t lift anything over your head.’ ‘Oh, you need a break.’ ‘How are your feet?’ ‘Do you need to sit down?’ ‘Here, let me help you.’ I’m like, ‘C’mon!’'” That’s pretty funny actually. And pretty darn cute. Noah previously told Radar Online that he and his better half “want several children together.” They got married in Idaho on August 15 in a small affair attended by all of Noah’s famous loved ones. “She is my wife for life and is going to make an amazing mom!” Noah more recently told Radar. As for the gender of their impending kid? Yes, Rhain and Noah know what he or she will be. But they are keeping it a secret for now. They also know what name their child will be given. “Before we were even married, we had talked about names,” Brown says. “It was one of the things that we just matched up on perfectly: We knew we wanted three children. But we didn’t know what we’d get, so we set out and we picked three boy names and three girl names.” They are clearly very well prepared. The baby is due in late spring, Noah also says, concluding: Spring is when the birds have their babies, and the deer have their babies, and the bears and the cougars, so we’re gonna have our baby too. “We just fit right in with the animals.” View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know

Former Sex Tape Star Ends Engagement to Chris Zylka

Over the past several months, Chris Zylka got to spend a lot more than just one night in Paris. Alas, the mediocre actor will not be settling down there for good, however, as we just learned his engagement to the famous sex tape star is over. According to numerous outlets, Paris Hilton and Zylka have called off their plans to marry, nearly a year after Hilton happily confirmed the development to People Magazine. “I am so excited to be engaged to the love of my life and my best friend,” Hilton told the publication, which somehow managed to snap photos of the actual proposal. The question was popped while the two were on vacation in Aspen in early January. “I have never felt so happy, safe and loved. He is perfect for me in every way and showed me that fairy tales really do exist!” Hilton added at the time. TMZ reports that Hilton was the one who ended the romance and that the break-up took place a few weeks ago. The two got together about two years ago after they met at Art Basel in Miami. Things were got and heavy for awhile, but the flame eventually burned out. “Their relationship moved really quickly, and she realized he wasn’t right for her. She wishes him well and hopes they can remain friends,” a source tells E! News of what transpired. After receiving a $2 million engagement ring from the former Leftover and Secret Circle actor, Paris wrote on Instagram: So happy & excited to be engaged to the love of my life. My best friend & soulmate. Perfect for me in every way. So dedicated, loyal, loving & kindhearted. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world! You are my dream come true! Thank you for showing me that fairytales do exist. She and Zylka had initially set a wedding date of November 11, but after it got pushed back to an undetermined date, fans figured something might be amiss. Both halves of the ex-couple, meanwhile, have ended engagements in the past. Hilton called hers off to Jason Shaw in 2003 and to Paris Latsis in 2005; while Zylka broke off his engagement to Hanna Beth in 2015. For the record: Paris Hilton is an ex-celebrity who rose to fame by having intercourse with a boyfriend on video. Kim Kardashian actually worked as her assistant before she also had intercourse with a boyfriend on video — yet did so in the social media age while having a very smart marketing person for a mother. Kim is now an A-Lister around the globe, while Hilton is someone who still exists. We wish her the best.

Diddy Publicly Mourns the Death of Kim Porter

Diddy has spoken out for the first time since the stunning death of Kim Porter . As previously reported, Porter passed away last week for unknown reasons. She had been suffering from pneumonia for several weeks and had called her doctor the day before her death because she was not feeling well. At this time, however, we cannot say for certain what caused the passing of the 47-year old actress and model, who dated Diddy off and on for 13 years and who was the mother to three of his kids. According to a 911 call, Porter was in “cardiac arrest” prior to paramedics arriving at her home. She was pronounded dead at the scene. We’ve heard from many sources in the time since, all explaining how close Diddy and Porter remained after their final break-up in 2007 and all describing Diddy as devastated and heartbroken. But, as we said, this is the first time we’ve heard from Diddy on the subject. “For the last three days I’ve been trying to wake up out of this nightmare. But I haven’t,” the music mogul wrote on Saturday, alongside a throwback video of the pair posing together for a pregnancy photoshoot. He continued: “I don’t know what I’m going to do without you baby. I miss you so much. “Today I’m going to pay tribute to you, I’m going to try and find the words to explain our unexplainable relationship. “We were more than best friends, we were more than soulmates. WE WERE SOME OTHER SHIT!! And I miss you so much. Super Black Love.” This is a screen shot from the aforementioned video Diddy posted: Diddy and Porter were on such good terms after they split over a decade ago that they never formalized a custody arrangement. They were able to work everything out on friendly and flexible terms. “He and Kim were still very close friends and co-parents even though their romantic relationship didn’t work,” a People Magazine source says. “They were still a family.” The pair were parents of twin girls born in 2006 and a son born in 1998. Porter, meanwhile, was also the mother of another son from another relationship. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office confirmed Porter’s death in a statement explaining that officers responded to a death investigation at 11:40 a.m. local time in Toluca Lake, California. Once they arrived, they found a female unresponsive at the residence. Her cause of death remains undetermined at this time. Diddy and Porter started dating in the 1990s and ended for good in 2007. Their kids include: Christian, 20, and 11-year-old twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James. Additionally, Combs raised Porter’s eldest child, Quincy, 27. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2018: In Memoriam The Bad Boy Records entrepreneur is also the father of two other kids – son Justin, 24, and daughter Chance, 12 -whom he shares with exes Misa Hylton-Brim and Sarah Chapman, respectively. He’s often spoke positively of their mothers, and of Porter. “I’ve been truly blessed to have some great, incredible relationships that have afforded me these children by these very strong, intelligent, beautiful black women,” Combs has told People of his exes, adding: “The mothers of my children [are] my best friends. My hat goes off to them.” May Kim Porter rest in peace.

Javi Marroquin Relationship Timeline: Did He Get Lauren Pregnant While Still Boning Briana?!

Meghan Markle to Prince Harry: Your Family Is Smothering Us!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are happily married and expecting, and the Royal Family has never looked so happy . But Harry and Meghan aren’t entirely content and are itching to leave their current residence. Not only are their accommodations too small, but Harry wants to step out of his brother’s shadow. RadarOnline   reports that Harry and Meghan are eager to move. “Harry and Meghan want to move,” an insider reveals. They know that their family is growing, the source says, “and need more space.” We know that it’s tempting to claim that they’re being greedy or absurd by demanding more space. But as we describe their current residence — Nottingham Cottage, on the grounds of Kensington Palace — you’ll understand why. “But,” the insider says. “They don’t want to live next door to William and Catherine.” We so often tend to imagine the royal family living within a massive, spacious palace. But Nottingham cottage is just that. From the description, it sounds like a starter home. Harry and Meghan’s current residence has only two bedrooms for a household that’s about to have three people. (Sure, newlyweds may share a bed, and many married couples continue to share a bed, but they’ll want a guest room) The cottage also has two reception rooms — so, you know, normal rooms. That’s fine. RadarOnline describes the cottage as having one single bathroom. That’s barely enough for two people. They need to upgrade. Another impetus for their upcoming move is so that Harry and William can take a step apart. “They are planning a formal division of their joint royal household,” the source notes. “Which is based at Kensington Palace.” “And,” the insider continues, they are planning “the creation of separate courts to reflect their increasingly different responsibilities.” We’ve reported on this previously. The brothers have grown up and don’t want to step on each other’s toes. “The brothers have leant on each other and looked after each other since their mother died,” the source affirms. “But now they have their own families,” the insider explains. “They no longer rely on each other as before.” Now that William and Harry are adults, they don’t need to be literal neighbors. “They will soon have separate offices and separate lives,” the source explains. “So it would make sense for them to live further afield.” And Harry and Meghan’s options are broader than some might imagine. “There is no reason why Prince Harry and Meghan’s London home has to be at Kensington Palace,” the insider notes. “There are plenty of other options,” the source adds. “Including,” the insider says. “Using their own money to buy their own place.” Of course, some believe that it’s really Meghan and Kate who are tearing the princes apart . “Kate and Meghan live very different lives,” the source notes. Certainly. They’re both Duchesses, but they are of course different people. “And,” the insider continues. “That is likely to become more marked over time.” In other words, Meghan and Kate socialize differently, focus upon different charitable endeavors, and otherwise spend their time differently. There was a time when royal brides were permitted to do little save produce heirs. Good for them for living their own lives. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are hot topics. Unfortunately, some — like Meghan’s irredeemably vile sister, Samantha — seem eager to cash in on that by painting Meghan as a monster. Whether it’s rumors of Meghan feuding with Kate or allegations about Meghan’s diva behavior , people love to talk. We know that some may be tempted to believe that Meghan is forcing Harry to change his lifestyle. He’s a grown man and a prince. He’ll soon be a father. We imagine that these two are making decisions together, like any expecting parents might. View Slideshow: Meghan Markle Just Announced She’s Having a Boy … Right??

Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson Refuse to Answer Pregnancy Question

We hate to break this to you, but… … Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson having a bit of fun at your expense. They know exactly what you are thinking, exactly what websites such as this one are writing and they don’t have any plans to address the elephant in the room. Or the alleged child in the womb, we should say, to be more specific. Indeed, every other social media user seems to be convinced that Swanson is pregnant . This has been a topic of debate ever since she married Duggar at the end of June and fans are so desperate for confirmation that they took Lauren’s recent decision to make her Pinterest page as a sure sign that she’s expecting. She must have done so because she’s making a few baby boards and isn’t prepared to share the news yet, right? Right? RIGHT?!? Probably, according the latest reports. But don’t expect either Josiah or Lauren to confirm the news any time soon. “Josiah and Lauren are having fun keeping her possible pregnancy status a secret,” a source tells Hollywood Life, making it sound as if a baby is in there, but… “They are so happy, in love and excited about this newlywed time in their life that they are keeping everything just between the two of them. “When anyone asks them directly about being pregnant, they give a vague answer with a smile.” Hey, look, we’re all about respecting privacy and few things are more special or personal than a baby on the way and… … eh, who are we kidding?!? We’re a celebrity gossip site! Give us all the scoop you’ve got, Lauren and Josiah! “Lauren and Josiah have been married five months now and it’s no secret that they’ve been trying for a baby since their wedding night so it’s very likely she’s already pregnant,” another source tells Celebrity Insider. This would certainly fit the pattern of Josiah’s family. Nearly every Duggar woman or every woman who marries into the Duggars starts trying for a baby within hours of exchanging vows. For Lauren and Josiah, this occasion took place on June 30 in Arkansas . Because the couple never revealed their wedding date ahead of time, many followers assumed Swanson was already pregnant and that this was your basic shotgun marriage. Alas, if that were the case, Lauren would be showing by now. All this time later, however, even those very close to the stars believe a bun is on Lauren’s proverbial oven. “Friends and family believe Lauren is secretly pregnant and they are all anxiously waiting for her to reveal her big news,” writes Hollywood Life, adding: “They are dedicated to their faith and believe when the time is right, they will share the wonderful news with their families first.” Of late, Swanson sparked pregnancy chatter after she wore a loose-fitting dress in a photo she shared on Instagram. She’s also been sharing a handful of images that only show her upper body, which has led to some speculate that she’s hiding her growing baby bump. And she very well may be. Good luck getting an answer to this question from either half of the couple is all. Trust us. We tried. And neither Lauren nor Josiah have uttered a word to The Hollywood Gossip about it. 🙁 View Slideshow: Josiah Duggar and Lauren Swanson Wedding Pics: See Their First Kiss… EVER!

Leah Messer Admits to Drug Problem: The Shocking Details

If you've kept up with Teen Mom 2 over the years, then you're definitely familiar with Leah Messer and her … Well, her dark times. A few years ago, she began behaving strangely, as we saw in episodes, and many fans speculated that she'd developed a drug problem. She was falling asleep while talking on the phone, she temporarily lost custody of her twins to Corey Simms. And while she's admitted that she did take prescription painkillers for a short period of time after giving birth to her youngest daughter, she's never outright said that she's had a problem with them. She's definitely never said that a drug problem was to blame for all that questionable behavior. But in a new episode of her podcast, Leah is finally getting honest. 1. Oh, How Things Have Changed Leah Messer may not have the constant trashy drama that Jenelle Evans has, and she may not be as unlikable as Farrah Abraham, but she definitely has one of the most compelling stories on Teen Mom. 2. SO Sad And hers is definitely the saddest. 3. Some History When Leah was in high school, she hooked up with Corey Simms after breaking up with her boyfriend … and she got pregnant with twins. 4. Moving So Fast They did the traditional thing and got engaged, then married, even though obviously they were too young for absolutely all of that. 5. Oh, Leah They ended up getting divorced because Leah cheated on him, and also because they were just pretty incompatible about a lot of things. 6. Enough, Please Oh, and one of their twins has a rare form of muscular dystrophy, and doctors can’t be sure exactly what course the disease will take. View Slideshow
