Amber Rose Debuts Dramatic New Look, Overdoes It With The Lipstick

Welp, here we are.  And there Amber Rose sits, with her new ‘do, piercing eyes and puckered lips. What brought on this change?  We’re not sure, but it suits the talk show host.  Two weeks ago, Rose sported a blond wig a la Marilyn Monroe, so we’re starting to see a dress-up pattern here. Maybe she’s Brigitte Bardot this week? Recently, Rose told her audience how she’s begged her ex-husband and baby daddy Wiz Khalifa to give her his sperm so that she can have another baby. The former couple were in Charlotte, North Carolina where Khalifa was performing, and Rose asked him yet against for the baby making goods. “But instead, he just put his babies on my face.” Oh.  Ok. So I guess they’re hooking up again, but keeping it casual? Amber Rose Asks Wiz Khalifa For His Sperm Rose is fine with making fun of herself, but even she has her limits. Speaking to NBC News , the activist explained that there is a difference between making a joke and calling a woman a crass name. “People think I’m really controversial, she said. “I’m just really standing up for women . We are just sick of being talked down to, sick of being called ‘hoes’ and ‘sluts’, getting ‘slut shamed’ and talked down on for the same things men do. “People don’t understand that’s an extreme form of bullying. They bully women constantly and wonder why we are so insecure when they constantly put us down.” Rose also addressed the misconception that she is a very sexual person. “When I became famous, I got associated with so many men, who I had never even kissed or had sex with or anything. The rumors were out of my hands. People assume that I’m extremely sexually advanced, that I have orgies all day,” she said. The reality is that Rose is just as shy as most of us about the subject, but she points out that it’s just not her thing. “When I do hear the sex questions that I get sometimes I am taken back but I’m never judging,” she said. “My show is a no judging zone. We are very sex positive on my show. It’s more informative than educational.” View Slideshow: Amber Rose Selfies: Look at Me!

Jeremy Vuolo: SO EXCITED About Marrying Jinger Duggar!

Just a few weeks after we learned that Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo were courting , the couple hit us with an even bigger surprise… Yes, we now know that Jinger and Jeremy are engaged , and it seems that they’ll be wasting no time in getting to the altar. The couple has been tight-lipped with regard to an exact date, but insiders say preparations are already well under way. Naturally, the whole thing is being documented for Jill & Jessa: Counting On Season 2, and it’s safe to assume Jinger and Jeremy’s wedding will be televised . But if the video message to fans that Jeremy posted today is any indication, that’s about all the info you’ll be getting about the Jinge and Jer’s relationship between now and when the show returns to TLC August 23. Jeremy Vuolo Talks Wedding Plans In the clip above, Jeremy addresses family, friends and fans from outside his grandparents’ home in New Jersey. Yes, Jersey. It’s not exactly Duggar territory, but then Jeremy’s not your typical Duggar dude. While Jill and Jessa both married native Arkansans, Jinger wound with a Philadelphia boy through an odd chain of events. Jeremy first became acquainted with Jessa and her husband, Ben Seewald, while traveling in Texas. They happened to be at the home of a friend of Vuolo’s when he passed through San Antonio. Vuolo hit it off with the Seewalds, even appearing in some of the faith-based YouTube videos they’ve posted. Jessa introduced Jeremy to her younger sister Jinger, but it wasn’t until the two of them wound up on a missionary trip together that they hit it off.  A former pro soccer player, Jeremy is somewhat accustomed to the limelight, but he’s about to be in the public eye like never before. It’s good to see that he’s giving himself a little media training. View Slideshow: Jinger Duggar Photos: From Childhood to Courtship!

Hayes Grier Assures Fans: I’m Okay!!!

Listen closely. Do you hear that sound? It’s the sound of millions of young teenage girls letting out a sigh of relief. How come? BECAUSE HAYES GRIER IS OKAY, FOLKS! The Internet sensation still has a long road to go before he is in prime physical condition, but the 16-year old used social media on Friday to assure fans that he’s up for the challenge. On Thursday, Grier was involved in a serious dirt biking accident. It’s unclear exactly what went down, except that the crash took place in North Carolina and Grier’s brother was VERY concerned soon after it went down. He tries to keep fans apprised of his sibling’s condition, but the concern came through loud and clear from Nash Grier. “He can move & talk (thank god) but he’s coughed up a lot of blood. That’s all I know,” Nash originally Tweeted, later adding: “Praying he has a quick recovery… Damn I hate hearing s–t like that on the phone, scared me to death.” But now Hayes has taken to Twitter to calm both his brother down and his legion of followers down. “Doing good guys, little banged up but we’ll be alright. Part of having fun,” Grier wrote along with the photo above, which was obviously snapped of him in the hospital. In a subsequent message on Twitter, he added: “thank you for the good wishes.” In addition to his own social media, Hayes re-Tweeted a number of media reports about his crash. Soon after word spread that Hayes had been injured, the hashtag “#PrayForHayes” proceeded to spread on Twitter. It’s understandable why. Just 16, Grier has amassed 3.53 million Twitter followers… 5.3 million Instagram followers… 4.4 million Vine followers … and 848,000 YouTube subscribers. Hayes had been back home in North Carolina, filming his new comedic docs-series, “Top Grier,” when the accident occurred. The program centers around him returning to Mooresville, where he attempts to run his family’s 19-acre farm. It is schedule to consist of 12 half-hour episodes that can be viewed on Verizon’s Go90 via mobile devices. He competed on Season 21 of Dancing with the Stars (see below) and made it to Week 7. We wish him a speedy recovery!

Jesus Take The Wheel: Father, Mother, And Adopted Son Each Diagnosed With Cancer

Entire Family Diagnosed With Cancer A North Carolina family has somehow managed to stay strong and positive through each member facing cancer diagnoses and harsh treatments over the past 17 years. Through dating, marriage and eventual adoption , it seems that the disease has followed the family every step of their lives together. Via People : If it weren’t true, it would be unbelievable. Three family members – a mother, father and their son – all diagnosed with cancer. Jay Siltzer is the morning anchor at WLOS-TV, the ABC affiliate in Asheville, North Carolina. The 48-year-old was first diagnosed with testicular cancer in January 1999. He had surgery and radiation and was doing well until the cancer came back and wrapped around his spine. This time, doctors were less sure of his prognosis. Again, he had surgery and radiation. He also had chemotherapy treatments. Siltzer, who was treated by Lance Armstrong’s doctor, was warned that it would be probably be tough for him to have children. The possibility that he couldn’t have kids worried him, but he didn’t dwell on it. He’d only been dating his then girlfriend, Kelly, a few months. The couple married in 2000 and life was good – for awhile. They tried desperately to have kids. “We hit a wall at every turn,” Siltzer says. Five years later, they met and fell in love with Malachi, the little boy they would adopt from Ethiopia. Everything was happy for the new family for some time — until Kelly was stricken with a rare form of luekemia in 2011. Unfortunately after a three-year battle of surgeries and radiation, Kelly passed away in 2014, leaving Jay a single father to Malachi. But then, news got even worse for the family. In another cruel twist of fate, just as the father and son were adjusting to a new normal, Malachi woke up last November with a headache. An MRI showed it was a grade-three brain tumor – a large mass on the left side of the little boy’s brain. Malachi has had two brain surgeries to remove the tumor, radiation and ongoing weekly chemo treatments. His speech is slowly coming back, but he still hasn’t learned to read again. When asked about the incredible fact that all three family members were diagnosed with cancer, he says, “I don’t let myself go there, that would be a dark place. I suppose I could ask, ‘Why me?’ but the answer is ‘Why not?’ I’m a person of faith, and I trust good will come from this.” WOW. It has to take some incredible strength to go through all this family has and still stay positive and pushing forward each day. Send some prayers up for Jay and Malachi. People.com / Jay Siltzer

Jenelle Evans: Secretly Hospitalized, Still Plagued By Mystery Illness

Back in January,  Jenelle Evans was hospitalized after experiencing a number of worrisome symptoms, including severe headaches and hot flashes. Since then, several medical experts have offered varying theories regarding what’s making Jenelle sick , but the troubled Teen Mom star still doesn’t have an official diagnosis – and now it seems she’s only getting sicker. Radar Online is reporting that Jenelle was hospitalized in New York City last night causing her to miss her scheduled flight home this morning. Jenelle was due in court today for a mediation orientation as part of her custody battle with ex Nathan Griffith, but she was reportedly too sick to travel. “Jenelle didn’t go back to North Carolina today because she was in the hospital all night,” says one insider. “Jenelle was throwing up Saturday night at 10 pm, then at 5 am and 8 am. They wanted her to stay all night, but she really wanted to leave and sleep at the hotel.” After several hours of tests, Jenelle reportedly ignored her doctor’s suggestion that she stay overnight for observation: “The doctor didn’t want her to fly and told Jenelle that. The doctor said that she can’t go home and needs to rest,” says the source. “They wanted her to stay, but she wanted to go back to the hotel and rest. But they didn’t figure out what’s wrong with her.” Jenelle’s reasons for traveling to New York are unknown, but she underwent testing there last month, so it’s widely assumed that she returned to consult with an expert again.
