Kim Kardashian & Kanye West: Undergoing "Extreme" Couples Counseling?

While it’s true that Kim Kardashian-Kanye West divorce rumors have been circulating pretty much since the day the couple got hitched, this time around there’s real reason to believe that Kimye may soon be a thing of the past. Sources have confirmed that Kim and Kanye lived in separate homes for a brief period following his hospitalization for psychiatric issues. These days, it appears that the Wests are once again cohabiting, but that doesn’t mean they’re out of the woods just yet. In fact, it seems that Kim and Kanye are having such a tough time lately that they’ve been undergoing an “extreme” form of couples counseling in a last-ditch effort to save their struggling marriage. “They’re having twice-weekly sessions, plus a third session on their own, each of which costs $1,000 a pop,” a source close to the couple tells Radar Online. On top of the frequent face-to-face sessions, Kim and Yeezy have reportedly been taking full advantage of their therapist’s 24-hour stand-by services. “Their on-call therapist is available 24/7, which doesn’t come cheap, but she’s also available via Skype if they’re out of town,” says the insider. Not surprisingly, that sort of round-the-clock help doesn’t come cheap: “The help is costing them $4,000 a week for the four sessions and another $1,000 every time there’s an off-hours query,” the source adds. Yes, $1,000 for a phone call. At that rate, most folks would hold off unless there was some sort of serious emergency, but this is Kanye we’re talking about. You know he’s making the call every time Kim forgets to tell him how dope his leather sweat pants are. The whole situation sounds extreme, but apparently Kim and Kanye’s problems are serious enough to justify this approach. The insider says Kim nearly reached her breaking point when she was robbed at gunpoint in Paris back in October. Kanye was reportedly not as supportive as Kim needed him to be, and she was forced to finally come clean about a litany of complaints that she had been keeping to herself. “They have a lot of issues to work through and Kanye’s in total shock at just how unhappy Kim’s been,” said the source. “He’s had his head in the clouds.” View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos Head in the clouds? Kanye? We simply can’t believe that. Are we laying on the sarcasm thick enough for you?

SMFH: Minnesota Cop Charged For Punching Handcuffed 14-Year-Old Girl

REALLY?! Minnesota Cop Faces Misdemeanor For Punching 14-Year-Old Girl A St. Paul cop is on paid leave after he punched a 14-year-old girl TWICE in the face for spitting on him. A teen who was described as being upset, possibly suicidal and in need of psychiatric help, allegedly spat in the face of officer Michael Soucheray who then punched her and called her a “f*** b***.” The Washington Post reports: St. Paul Police Officer Michael Soucheray and his partner, Chris Rhoades, were sent to defuse the situation at Brittany’s Place, a shelter for girls on the east side of the Minnesota city in December. But the teenager “became agitated,” a criminal complaint says, and she gave officers and shelter staff the silent treatment. […] Then she cleared her throat and spat in Soucheray’s face, the complaint and the officer’s attorney say. Soucheray, a seven-year member of the police department, balled up his fist and punched the girl in the face, the complaint says. Then he did it again. He grabbed her by the jaw and called her “f—— b—-,” according to the complaint. On Monday, Soucheray was charged with fifth-degree assault, a misdemeanor that could land the officer in prison for 90 days. And the officer’s punch in the back of a patrol car has embroiled another Twin Cities police department in the heated national debate about police use of force. Soucheray is on paid administrative leave, as his police department conducts an internal investigation, according to his department’s Facebook page. Wow, only a misdemeanor? A rep for the officer says he was protecting himself from possible diseases when he punched the 14-year-old. Do YOU think the cop got the right punishment for assaulting a child?

Janet Jackson Gives Birth! At Age 50!

First, the bad news for Janet Jackson: She will not be going on an escapade any time soon. But now the good news for Janet Jackson: That’s because she’s a mother for the first time! At the age of 50! The singer and husband Wissam Al Mana welcomed their first child on Tuesday, January 3, with Jackson’s rep confirming the name and gender of the newborn. “Janet Jackson and husband Wissam Al Mana are thrilled to welcome their new son Eissa Al Mana into the world,” reads the simple rep statement, concluding as follows: “Janet had a stress-free healthy delivery and is resting comfortably.” Phew. That’s good to know. It’s a fact that the older a woman is when she gets pregnant, the more likely either she or the baby is to have complications. Jackson and Al Mana (a Qatari businessman) got married in 2012. Despite the artist’s advanced age, speculation about her expecting state started in April when Jackson postponed her Unbreakable World Tour so, telling fans in a video posted to Twitter that she and Al Mana needed to focus on their family Janet Jackson: Pregnant Announcement? “We’re in the second leg of the tour, and there actually has been a sudden change,” she says in the above clip. “I thought it was important that you be the first to know. “My husband and I are planning our family. So I’m going to have to delay the tour.” Fast forward all the way to October and Jackson confirmed the happy news . “We thank God for our blessing,” Janet told People Magazine in an exclusive interview, which included a picture of her and her baby bump. Janet, of course, is the sister of legendary singer Michael Jackson. She spends most of her time in London and is notoriously shy with the press. We would not hold our breath for a tabloid cover baby photo if we were you. But an insider did tell People late last year that Jackson was psyched to become a first-time parent. “She is super excited about her pregnancy and is doing extremely well,” the source said this fall. “She actually feels very good about everything.” Good! We’re so glad to hear it! Please join us in sending along your best wishes, first to Jackson and her expanded family… … and then to the following celebrities, all of whom are expecting kids in 2017. Good luck to everyone! View Slideshow: Stars Expecting Babies in 2017: Who’s Ready to Pop?

Farrah Abraham Blames MTV For Valerie Fairman’s Death

As you’ve likely heard by now, former 16 and Pregnant star Valerie Fairman passed away yesterday at the age of 23. Fairman’s cause of death has been revealed by those close to her as an overdose, though no autopsy has been conducted as of yet. In the hours after news of her death went public, Fairman’s former MTV colleagues took to social media to express their condolences. Not surprisingly, the strangest tribute belonged to Farrah Abraham, who lamented Fairman’s death in rambling, nonsensical fashion on Instagram: “I feel so heartfelt with sadness of the struggles Valerie was going through I deeply am saddened by this tragedy and I wish that others around Valerie could have helped her and I pray nothing but protection, love and peace to her daughter through this very confusing holiday time,” Farrah wrote. “Only 23 we lost a very beautiful young mom with the world ahead of her. Surround yourself with other who will truly care and be a great influence be careful.” We’re used to baffling word salads from Ms. Abraham, but unfortunately, in this case, she seems to have been encouraged by the response to her message, as she’s still offering her two cents on Fairman’s passing. And like everything else about Farrah, her insights are only getting more ridiculous with time. Asked by TMZ today if she feels that Valerie’s reality TV stardom exacerbated her substance abuse issues, Farrah bit the hand that feeds her in a big way, pointing the finger sqaurely at her MTV bosses: “I think that played a part,” Farrah told  the website. “From jail to drug addiction to whatever else that was said, I really wish she was supported in a better way.” It’s worth noting that Farrah and Valerie were not friends, and she her speculation about what may have triggered Fairman’s overdose is completely baseless, but if you thought that would stop her from running her mout, you don’t know Farrah: “I honestly feel like it’s not a positive thing,” said of the reality TV franchise that made her famous. “I don’t think it helps the economy further. It really adds a lot of more unplanned pregnancies and a lot of failed relationships, and that’s not really what we’re trying to show. And it’s not really done in a positive, effective way that I think we all started out doing. “And that’s just the honest to God’s truth. And it’s really hurtful to me to see what I am seeing.” View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs The teen pregnancy rate has actually been falling for decades, and in recent years, it’s plummeted more sharply than even the optimistic analysts expected, but Farrah is a Trump supporter, which means she’s not one to let facts interfere with her argument. We look forward to her telling us more about the psyche of someone she barely knows.

Exclusive: Gladys Knight & Son Settle “Chicken & Waffles” Restaurant Lawsuit

Son Agrees To Remove Knight’s Name & Likeness From The Eateries Gladys Knight and her son have reached a settlement in their family drama that played out in court over the “Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles” chain of eateries. The son, Shanga Hankerson, has agreed to remove her name and likeness from all locations by January, and the deal will bring an end to the legal battle. Back in June, the Department of Revenue accused Hankerson of theft and tax evasion. Federal agents raided three Gladys Knight Chicken and Waffles locations in Georgia and shut down their operations. The officials alleged Hankerson stole more than $650,000 in sales taxes and withholding taxes owed to the state. The total with penalties and interest exceeds $1 million. Knight had no role in the business and only allowed her son to use her name. Reportedly there are still two locations open in the ATL area. The singer sued her son and his companies Rival Group, Cascade Foods and Granite Foods following the tax evasion allegations. She claimed to have sent a cease and desist in July but her son has yet to remove her name from the restaurants.

Kanye West: Defying Doctors & Driving Kim Kardashian Away?

Last month, Kanye West was hospitalized following an emotional breakdown that resulted in at least one 911 call. The rapper received nearly two weeks of in-patient treatment at the UCLA Medical Center, and while he has since been released, he remains under 24-hour medical supervision. Sources say Kanye is getting better by the day, but he reportedly continues to suffer setbacks, in large part because he frequently defies doctor’s orders. “Everyone in the family is still very worried about Kanye, but he will not listen to anyone because Kanye thinks he knows it all,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. The insider adds that West’s refusal to slow down and make his recovery his top priority has left his family and medical staff deeply concerned about the possibility of a relapse. Of particular concern is Kanye’s decision to bury himself in his work rather than confront his problems: “He has just become even more withdrawn and, instead of getting rest and relaxation, he is at his studio working 24/7,” the source claims. It seems part of the problem is that Kanye and Kim Kardashian are living in separate homes for the safety of their children. (The severity of West’s condition has not been conclusively determined.) The forced estrangement is reportedly taking a considerable toll on Kanye and making it even more difficult for him to focus on his mental health. “Kanye has spent very little time at home with Kim and the kids, which is why they have stayed at Kris’s house several times after Kanye had his breakdown,” says the source. Insiders claim that the reports about Kim and Kanye getting divorced are bogus, and insist that they’re only living under separate roofs out of an abundance of caution. It seems the couple is currently stuck in a sort of catch-22 situation: Kim’s absence is exacerbating Kanye’s condition, but he can’t live with his wife and children again until he’s well enough that he won’t be putting them at risk. We’ll have further information on this story as more information becomes available. View Slideshow: 45 Kute and Kuddly Kimye Photos

Knocked Up Smackdown: Stevie J Says Extra-Preggo Joseline Hernandez Whooped His Azz

Stevie J. Says Joseline Assaulted Him, Orders Mental Evaluation Despite a couple of lovey-dovey IG posts, things are far from good in the hood between Joseline Hernandez and her husband baby daddy Stevie J. Stevie says that Joseline popped up at his house one Sunday and started an altercation in which she ended up popping him in the face repeatedly and injuring both his eyes. The two were actually spotted hugged up in a (now deleted) Instagram video that same day…which Stevie says was recorded just before isht went left and the baby bumpin’ baddest boosh went H.A.M. on his face. According to TMZ , Stevie has filed court docs saying he fears for his own safety and that of her unborn daughter, Bonnie . He details not only this incident but another recent run-in at a DNA office in which Joseline made threats of bodily harm, jumped at him, tossed papers at him and cursed him out. Stevie is asking the judge to order a psych eval and anger management courses for Joseline, and even calls for a guardian to care for Bonnie once she’s born — which is basically any day at this point. This sounds absolutely insane…but of course, Mona Scott Young’s Vh1 cameras were rolling for the duration of all these incidents during Joseline’s delivery special . Naturally, we’ll all get to watch the action unfold in just a few months… Vh1/Instagram/Splash
