Amber Portwood: Sent to Halfway House, Barred From Filming Teen Mom!

Amber Portwood’s Teen Mom career may have just come to an end. An Indiana judge just handed down a tough sentence on the reality star, who’s been in more legal hot water than we can even summarize in this space. In court to deal with the fallout of a recent drug arrest and repeated probation violations , Amber reached a plea deal that keeps her out of the slammer. Barely. That’s about all the tough judge was willing to grant her. After completing rehab , Amber Portwood has been ordered to live in a halfway house for up to THREE YEARS and get a court approved 9-to-5 job five days a week. In case there were any confusion, Teen Mom does not qualify. The judge also banned Amber from taping anything at the halfway house, at her job or while appearing in court … so it’s not like she can film in her “free” time. Portwood is also not allowed to tape anything while hanging out with any other girls who also live at the halfway house. There’s clearly a point being made here. The judge reached out to MTV, and the network assured the court that it would not sue Amber Portwood for breaking her contract because of the sentencing. Short story, they’re planning on moving on from her story. Given all that’s unfolded since she gained notoriety from Teen Mom , that’s probably not a bad thing. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]

How Did Aretha Franklin React to Whitney Houston’s Death?

In the wake of Whitney Houston’s death, the public has heard numerous responses from those that knew the legend well ( Ray J ) to know those speculating wildly in order to increase ratings ( Nancy Grace ). But few were closer to Houston than Aretha Franklin, the artist’s godmother. She spoke to The Today Show this morning about actually hearing the tragic news. “I had just finished watching George Clooney in The Descendants and I flipped back to the regular TV and maybe two minutes after I did that, it came across the screen. I just jumped off the side of the bed [and said] ‘What?’ This could not be. What is this? I just said, ‘Oh my, God.'” Franklin said she had seen previews for Sparkle, a film Houston had recently completed shooting, and was confident the movie would lead to a comeback. “She looked fresh, she looked healthy and she looked gorgeous,” the iconic singer said. “I thought, ‘Yes, she has conquered her challenges and she’s on the way.'” Aretha will sing at Houston’s funeral tomorrow and hopes the public doesn’t focus on “the challenges” her goddaughter faced, but, instead, on all the positive aspects of her life. She even penned the following lyrics to memorialize Houston: Twinkle twinkle superstar/We don’t wonder where you are/Up above the world so bright/Like a diamond in the night/Twinkle twinkle she stood alone/I can’t believe that she’s gone.

Kardashian Khristmas Kard: It’s Here!!!!

Oh, happy days. The holidays can finally begin! Early this morning, Kim Kardashian and kompany released the family’s official Christmas card, with each member getting his or her black tie on and Kim, naturally, standing all alone. If you listen closely enough, you can almost hear the publicist-inspired whining coming out of her mouth… The photo was snapped by Nick Saglimbeni and there’s a apparently a 3D version available for those that purchase 3D glasses. On a related note: if you purchase 3D glasses to view to view the Kardashian Christmas card, don’t stop driving at the store. Just keep right on going to a psychologist’s office. Tell this professional it’s an emergency. You clearly need major help. [Photo: Kim Kardashian Blog ]

MLB Source: Ryan Braun Positive Test Caused By Medication, Not Steroids

Is the reigning National League MVP, Ryan Braun, innocent of using performance enhancing drugs after all? This new report suggests his positive test may be a fluke. Ryan Braun’s positive test for banned substances was caused by medication for a private medical issue – not PEDs – according to Major League Baseball sources. Braun is adamant he has not taken drugs or steroids of any kind. A source close to the MLB and the controversial Braun drug case said simply that “the medication contained banned substances resulting in the positive test.” Prior to taking the dirty test, Braun had always tested negative for banned substances – not that this proves his innocence, but it’s worth noting just the same. The nature of Braun’s medical ailment is unclear, as is whether Milwaukee Brewers star knew exactly what substances were in his medication before he took it. It’s also unknown if any of these revelations could lead to the positive test – and the 50-game suspension it earned Braun – being overturned by MLB officials.

5 Reasons To Listen To Anthony Hamilton “Back To Love” [ORIGINAL]

Go here to see the original:

Anthony Hamilton has a reputation for making great soul music that appeals to contemporary audiences, while maintaining the integrity set forth by soul stars from back in the day, and he stays true to form on his latest album Back To Love . If you love or like Anthony Hamilton, you’ll definitely enjoy his new project. Here’s why… Good To Great Back To Love is good upon first listen, but you appreciate each song even more after listening to it more. About that reaction, Anthony says he doesn’t mind and like that because, “When you like all at once, you’ll get tired of it all at one time.” Familiar Sounds Those who like Anthony Hamilton’s “The Point Of It All” (2007) will get a dose of what they liked about that song with his new song “I’ll Wait (To Fall In Love).” Both songs were produced by The Avila Brothers, and “I’ll Wait” is just as tremendous as its predecessor. Hit maker Babyface provided the soundtrack for Anthony Hamilton’s current hit “Woo,” and also produced “Mad” and “Pray” from Back To Love. To The Left On “Sucka For You,” Anthony sings a song that he describes as having a flavor “like an OutKast record” that’s “outside of the box.” And, it’s as good as it is lively! The Unexpected When Anthony Hamilton joined Jill Scott for her single “So In Love,” the expectations were high since they’re both artists who are loved. The duo lived up to the hit expectations and the song was a hit. The reaction was much different when it was announced that Keri Hilson would be singing a duet on Hamilton’s Back To Love. Despite low expectations, Keri delivers on “Never Let Go.” So In Love In addition to “Woo,” Anthony Hamilton has given his fans more songs to love. Highlights include “Best Of Me,” “Pray For Me,” “Never Let Go” and “I’ll Wait.”

A Modest Proposal to Turn Lady Gaga’s Fame Monster Into a Movie

Since news broke that a Lady Gaga biopic may be in the works, I’ve fretted. The 25-year-old superstar is ripe for a big-screen toasting, but she’s only been a phenomenon since the latter half of 2008. Would you want to watch a Madonna biopic that stopped after the release of True Blue ? Of course not. Lady Gaga has a gnarly, couture-bedecked arc ahead of her, and I say if she’s destined to be a cineplex draw, why not adapt her eight-track mini-album The Fame Monster into a full-fledged film?
