Jon Gosselin may have purchased a few too many Ed Hardy shirts back in the day, because he’s been hit with a tax lien by the IRS – to the tune of $39,000. Can you get a refund on hair plugs? The former THG fixture owes that much from just 2009 – the year Jon and Kate Gosselin split, and the last year he likely had any sort of stable income. Since then, he’s kinda faded into obscurity. Despite all the money he made from celebrity gossip interviews and photos that year, according to papers filed in Berks County, Pa., Jon is still delinquent. TMZ was not able to get a quote from Jon. Think is flip phone is still in service? Given that Jon works a totally normal job again, and has eight kids to support, 39 grand might be tougher to scrounge up than back in his TLC heyday. Let’s hope he saved and invested well pre-divorce drama. We’re sure he stashed his earnings away while the gettin’ was good. Actually we’re not. We don’t know him personally, but we sincerely doubt it.

Now, years later, and in a world away from the life she knew, Anya is charged with the murder of three men, one of them her powerful husband. Chioma travels to her sister’s side to battle not only a flawed justice system with the aid of a young and disillusioned attorney, but the very notion of “truth” as the cultural values of two worlds collide.

Jenelle Evans’ former boss and frequent adversary James Duffy is taunting her on Twitter – by posting full-on naked photos of the Teen Mom 2 star. Last night, Duffy was posting Jenelle Evans nude pics and pounding out vulgar tweets directed at Jenelle and Courtland Rogers like it was his job. James did this same thing to her in August. Along with the pics, he tweeted: “Jenelle, I didn’t have to pay you for sex, you did that free for daddy.” Looks like Duffy did in fact hit that, based on the very NSFW images below. Seriously, do not proceed if you don’t want to see A LOT of Jenelle. Wednesday, Evans indirectly responded to Duffy’s tirade, responding to a follower: “no it’s getting kinda old … I mean that’s all the ammo he’s got?!” “It’s hurts my loved ones… That’s what hurts.” Jenelle Evans, 21, and the much older James Duffy have been engaged in an ugly war of words for months … it’s not all that clear what started it. Something rekindled the feud this week, however. Deny it she might, but it’s hard to believe she wasn’t hurt by the other Tweets he sent to Evans and Courtland Rogers , her husband of just over a month: “Look at her go!” “Such a perfect example of a mom!” “Thats your wife…so classy!!!” “You should be so proud courtland.” “Hows it feel to know youre getting duffy & kieffers leftovers?” Ouch. The images he posted appear below:
According to recent reports, the Taylor Swift and Harry Styles break up was based on an argument between the couple while their vacationed in Virgin Gorda. And now we may know more about the basis for that fight. Styles was spotted over the weekend partying on Richard Branson’s Necker Island, seemingly at ease with a group that includes British Internet entrepreneur and reality-TV star Hermione Way . Courtesy of a friend’s Facebook post from the event, she’s pictured with Harry and company in a red bikini here: Sources tell E! News that Way flirted with Styles , but nothing came of their interaction. Still, Way Tweeted a link to a Daily Mail story about Harry’s split with Taylor along with the caption “Oh Dear…” She’s not exactly distancing herself from the situation. “Everyone on the island was wondering what exactly had gone wrong but he did not say at all,” the source says. “He did not tell anyone they were necessarily over, just that there had been some unrest and that something had gone wrong. He wasn’t specific and no one pressed him for more.” At least one mole, however, confirms that Styles and Swift are “100” percent finished.
In a new interview, Dina Lohan basically implies that Lindsay Lohan is a train wreck because she saw her father, Michael Lohan, abuse drugs – and her mom. “I need to make the world aware that Lindsay is messed up because her father is so messed up,” Dina told the New York Daily News in an explosive story. Dina claims her daughter’s ongoing problems all stem from graphic incidents in which she witnessed her father beat her mother in 1986 – and rape in 1990. “Lindsay saw her dad abuse me – that’s why she’s so screwed up,” Dina said. “She saw a lot of crazy stuff. I want the world to know the root of her problems.” “Lindsay saw the beatings an the abuse. She said, ‘Stay, mommy, don’t leave … I’m so sorry for making you stay.’ But I didn’t stay for Lindsay. I wanted all my kids to be happy.” Dina, 50, told the paper that the attack – one of many she says she endured during their 22-year marriage – occurred after they dined in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. Michael Lohan, she says, had spent the night getting drunk and high on cocaine, Dina claims, eventually leading him to punch her in the face with a closed fist. Dina backed up her clai with a photo of a bruise under her right eye, holding an infant Lindsay (she sought medical attention December 4, 1986 for facial “blunt trauma.”) Dina Lohan said that “when Lindsay saw the photo, she was furious. She said, ‘Tell the world! Talk about it!'” Michael denied the story to the paper, of course. According to MiLo, the circumstances were completely different. “I came in at 2 o’clock in the morning after being out with some friends,” he says. “I walked in and she hit me with an ice tray. With the back of my hand I slapped her in the face.” “Yes, it did happen in 1986. Were there any charges? No, not at all.” “I had a big black and blue mark on my neck – from her.” As for the alleged sexual assault, Dina said it took place in 1990, during a time he was in-and-out of jail for convictions tied to his former career as a stockbroker. “Michael was addicted to cocaine, like most stockbrokers back then,” Dina said. “He had a lot of bad stuff going on.” Nothing worse than that one night, however. She said Michael Lohan showed up in a limousine on Valentine’s Day, “out of jail and on another coke-fueled night,” and trying to rebuild their relationship. “He said, ‘I love you and I want to be with you,’ but then it went dark. It went dark really quick,” Dina said, adding that the rape occurred as Lindsay and her siblings slept. “I just knew I had to stay quiet … I [didn’t] want to wake them.” Dina, at her parents’ urging, went to the ER and had a rape kit performed, but said she never pursued further punishment for Michael, who was jail-bound at the time anyway. Not so, Michael says, recalling of the incident: “I went over to her parents’ house and made love to her … how can you rape a person when they’re on top of you?” A fair question, and an image we’re having trouble getting out of our brains. Michael said the rape accusation only sprouted when Dina heard a girlfriend of his in the background on the phone later that night … obviously. “She called the next day, crying,” he said. “I said, ‘Let’s work this out.'” “I got back with Dina. There were no charges.” Michael said of Dina’s accusation-loaded interview: “She’s bringing this up now because she’s drinking and partying with Lindsay. And she keeps robbing Lindsay.” “She is the devil.” Lindsay Lohan is broke , but the reasons for that are manifold. It’s a claim Mike has made many times before, and probably has a degree of truth to it … not that he’s been a saint to his ex or kids by any means. One thing’s for sure … this explains a lot about Lindsay.
Emma Stone covers the February issue of Glamour UK, addressing a topic relevant in Hollywood these days due to the death of Chris Guerra : The paparazzi. “It’s weird in Los Angeles…[photographers are] hiding out everywhere,” Stone tells the magazine. “The hardest thing is that it makes me act like an a–hole because I now have this weird level of paranoia that I never had before.” Stone expounds: “It feels like having a private investigator on you or something. You find yourself walking around holding your head up like you’re looking in the mirror – and your friends are wondering what’s wrong with you. “Then I feel like a jerk because half the time there’s nobody there … still, I really don’t want to be caught with a burger all over my face.” Fair enough certainly.

Justin Bieber pot controversy? What Justin Bieber pot controversy?!? The singer focused on what really matters yesterday prior to a concert in Salt Lake City, spending time with Millie Flamm, a seven-year old cancer patient at Primary Children’s Medical Center. “Look at this bundle of joy,” Justin wrote as a caption to the following Instagram photo. “I love her.” Millie’s mother told The Deseret News that Bieber was “so sweet” to the child. “He walked in and her whole face just lit up.” Bieber also sang a song to Millie and gave her both a kiss on the cheek and his guitar pick before leaving. This is not the first time Bieber has visited a cancer patient in the hospital. He made the dreams of a four-year old named Hailey Roser come true in October; and also grew famously close to Avalanna Routh , a six-year old dubbed “Mrs. Bieber” who passed away in September.
