Posted on October 3, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

SO, what are Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood , Catelynn Lowell and Farrah Abraham up to lately? MTV answered that on a very special reunion show last night. It’s only been like two months, but you gotta fill airtime somehow. Farrah Abraham She is “happier” now but still clashes with her mom on how to parent Sophia. Farrah went to visit Derek’s grave for the 995th time, and did not cry. Phew. Catelynn Lowell All about wedding planning! The big day: July 13, 2013! Catelynn already found the perfect dress. HOORAY! Will their daughter Carly (who they gave up for adoption) attend the ceremony? Time will tell. They’re going to write her parents and hope for the best. Amber Portwood Still serving a five-year prison term. “I’m still a single dad and I’ll be a single dad tomorrow.” – Gary Shirley . A single dad in a very large Aeropostale shirt. Sorry, had to. Amber Portwood is getting a “Behind Bars” special with Dr. Drew next Tuesday. No joke. MTV is milking this show to a ridiculous extent. Maci Bookout Maci and Kyle King split up recently because of his alleged behavior. She moved into a new house with her son Bentley and her friends. Ryan and Dalis broke up, which helps Maci’s relationship with him. He also moved out of his parents house. Knock us over with a feather.

Justin Bieber Offered Minor League Hockey Contract

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We already knew that Justin Bieber was a baller. The singer was named MVP of the 2011 Celebrity All-Star Game. But at least one minor league hockey team admires the artist for his moves on the ice as well: the Bakersfield Condors have offered Bieber a contract! Says Matt O’Dette on the squad’s website , regarding why his team has been afflicted with Bieber Fever: “Very rarely do you see this combination of skill and toughness. We share a common Canadian heritage since we both hail from Ontario. I’ve scouted some video of him online skating with my hometown team, the Toronto Maple Leafs, and I think he could provide some elusive speed up front for us. Plus, he’s a right-handed shot which we’ve been looking to add. I think if we paired him on a line with (Robby) Dee and (Peter) Boyd we’d be tough to beat.” The site adds that Justin “possesses soft hands, a good skating stride, and a devastating wrist shot capable of beating NHL caliber goaltenders. He appears to be strong in shootouts as well.” You’ve been warned, Martin Brodeur!

Kathy Bates Diagnosed with Breast Cancer, Undergoes Double Mastectomy

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Kathy Bates, an Oscar winner for the 1991 film Misery and multiple-time Emmy nominee, revealed today that she was diagnosed with breast cancer a few weeks ago and recently underwent a double mastectomy in her battle against the disease. “Luckily, I don’t have to undergo radiation or chemo,” Bates said in a statement. “My family call me Kat because I always land on my feet and thankfully this is no exception… My doctors have assured me I’m going to be around for a long time. I’m looking forward to getting back to work doing what I love to do.” Bates was also diagnosed with ovarian cancer nine years ago. She has a busy professional future ahead of her, beginning on September 23 Emmy Awards where the veteran star is actually nominated in two categories: Outstanding actress in a drama ( Harry’s Law ) and outstanding guest actress in a comedy ( Two and a Half Men ). We wish her a full recovery.

Amber Portwood Speaks From Jail: I Am Not Normal!

Posted on September 12, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Troubled Teen Mom cast member Amber Portwood stated the obvious in a statement from jail in which she said she is not normal – and needs to grow up. Two weeks after the Teen Mom finale , she issued remarks from prison to coincide with the eunion special that aired Tuesday night on MTV with Dr. Drew. In it, she talked about how she “got lost” in drugs and alcohol. Amber Portwood, now serving a five-year sentence, writes: “Right now I’m trying to figure out what I’m doing with my life. I guess I just got lost. I went to jail because I had an addiction to opiates.” “You live and you learn and that’s what’s real. “It was time for me to stop partying and realize that even though I’m 21, I’m not a normal 21-year-old.” “I’m a mother. I have to grow up quicker and start acting like a mother .” No arguments here, even though Portwood’s voluntarily decision to serve out a five-year term in jail rather than comply with a court-ordered drug program is dubious. After violating her probation stemming from a December 2011 arrest for drug possession, Amber’s behind bars for a LONG time, but says it’s for the best. “My No. 1 priority right now in life is dedicating my life to being sober, to being a sober person,” she writes, adding that she’s doing it for Leah , 3. “[I want] to show my daughter that people make mistakes but you can always come back. If Leah learns anything from me she should see how becoming a teen mom can change you. How everything is postponed,” Portwood said. She also hopes people learn from her mistakes. “We made the show for a reason…some decisions change your whole life. If you don’t want to take responsibility and use protection, don’t have sex.” “One night can change your whole life into a sad story,” noted Portwood, adding that the “mean person” viewers see on Teen Mom is far from reality. “I want to show everybody I can do it and can start living a straight life and getting my family back in order,” she concluded, and we wish her the best.

Amber Portwood Struggling to Maintain Relationship With Daughter in Prison

Posted on June 26, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

She may be behind bars, but Teen Mom star Amber Portwood is willing to do whatever it takes to maintain a relationship with her 3-year-old daughter, Leah. Or at least she was, before she chose prison over her child. It’s this sad turn of events that makes the final season of Teen Mom so gut wrenching. On tonight’s episode, her time in rehab in Malibu, Calif., is chronicled. Gary Shirley’s ex-fiancee receives a visit from Leah and her father, but their reunion doesn’t exactly go off without a hitch, thanks in part to a court order. The Aeropostale-shirt-wearing Gary was shocked to find out that he’s barred, legally, from being in the same room with his ex and daughter simultaneously. “I brought Leah with me but I guess we can’t be together,” he says, and after an embrace, the couple part ways so Amber Portwood can visit with Leah. “This is where Mommy’s been living for a while,” Portwood tells her. Despite her recent legal troubles, Portwood has vowed to keep up her relationship with Shirley and their little girl as much as possible while behind bars. Good luck with that, given your five-year sentence. Hopefully Jenelle Evans and Gary Head take note, because they’re heading down the same road.

Amber Portwood Chooses Prison Over Her Child

Posted on June 11, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Media coverage surrounding Amber Portwood ‘s decision to go to prison because she can’t hack it in rehab has more or less ignored one key component: Her daughter, Leah. The Teen Mom star was sentenced to five years in prison last week after she dropped out of a drug-treatment program the court ordered her to complete. She could’ve toughed it out, though; Portwood is off to prison because she felt rehab was simply too hard and thinks going to jail is the only way to get clean. Portwood said in her jailhouse interview last week that an overdose drove her to take the five-year sentence – handed down because of her repeated drug arrests, but initially suspended pending completion of the program. The saddest part of this saga, which has become an afterthought, is that she effectively chose to be locked up and away from her three-year-old girl. With the final season of Teen Mom starting tomorrow, this is unlikely to be swept under the rug any longer. The premiere shows Amber going to rehab. In the second episode, she’s in treatment and thinks she’s making some real progress, making her downward spiral even more depressing to endure. Maybe Gary Shirley having custody of Leah isn’t the worst thing, but why would you choose to go to prison and not be a part of your child’s life? Like everything else in Amber’s world, it defies comprehension.

Amber Portwood Enters Rehab, Avoids Jail

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Amber Portwood was close to going to jail yesterday, but copped a plea that allows the Teen Mom train wreck to enter a rehab program rather than do hard time. An Indiana judge agreed to a deal that allows Portwood to enter rehab instead of jail, where she could have been sentenced up to five years for various offenses. Amber’s woes stem from a December 2011 arrest for drug possession, a class D felony, and probation violation. She previously pleaded guilty to all charges. The plea deal does not afford Amber Portwood a chance to make good and get her act together, but it does not offer the 22-year-old an immediate, no-strings out. She has been locked up since December and could spend two more weeks in custody, during which time an evaluation by the Drug Court team will be conducted. Once accepted into the rehabilitation program, Amber will be released from jail and admitted into rehab. She’ll be expected to complete it and stay clean, or else. Portwood arrived in court wearing an orange-and-white striped jumpsuit, shackled at the hands and feet, to hear the judge’s approval of her rehab plea deal. Let’s see you top that, Jenelle Evans .

Amber Portwood: Still a Suicidal Wreck!

Posted on October 8, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Like the U.S. economy, Amber Portwood’s recovery appears to have stalled. Less than two months after checking out of a rehab center, where she was treated for both depression and anger management following a suicide attempt, the Teen Mom star was rushed to the hospital after suffering a severe panic attack. “I couldn’t breathe and I passed out,” she said. “I stopped breathing.” Amber’s issues, while serious and tragic, have done surprisingly little to inspire sympathy for the reality star, often criticized for partying and misplaced priorities . “Honestly, I feel like I did two months ago. I’m still suicidal,” Amber Portwood revealed to E! News yesterday.
