Teen Mom OG viewers will recognize Amber Baltierra, the sister of Tyler Baltierra. While Tyler has recently discussed the fact that he is bipolar , Amber has her own troubles. Hers, it seems, have been getting worse. And now it is revealed that she will be checking herself in to a 90-day stint in rehab. But why ? Amber tells fans that she is going away by sharing a couple of (filtered) photos of her children, writing on Instagram: “These two. They are my rock. My motivation. My inspiration.” That’s exactly what we want to hear from any parent. “The reason I breathe and wake up every day.” At times, her message slips from being about her children to being directed at her children. “Mommy loves you [two] more than you guys may know right now.” She says that she is doing this for them. “You both deserve nothing but the best and I will give that to you.” In talking about how much she will miss her kids, she reveals how long she will be away. “I’m gonna miss you these 90 days.” That’s a very long time. But she knows that they will be okay. “I know dad and everyone else will keep you busy this summer.” Her thoughts will always be with her children. “Just know I love you both with every fiber in me.” This step, which she is taking for herself, will also help her to be their parent. “When mom gets home she’s gonna be the best woman I can be and an even better mom.” Teen Mom fans already understand that Catelynn Lowell’s mental illness does not make her a bad mom. So surely they can understand that Amber’s troubles don’t meant hat she loves her kids any less. She does not explain why she is entering rehab, but she does write: “I’ll pray for your comfort and happiness everyday I’m not with you.” That is so sweet. “Show the world [you’re] my babies and you guys are strong and can get through anything.” And she shares some words of inspiration with them: “Because well, you got Baltierra blood and it don’t get stronger than that” Her estranged husband, Billy Wade Elkins Jr., tells RadarOnline that Amber Baltierra will undergo treatment at a Texas rehab facility. And she’s leaving very soon. “She’s going to Texas. She leaves Friday.” Her father, Butch Baltierra, had already confirmed that she would be doing a stint in rehab. Though Amber did not specify why she is entering rehab, it is reported that this may be for relationship issues as well as alleged drug use. We hope that this experience helps her. (Also, check out this throwback that she shared of her and Tyler) One insider claims to RadarOnline that, in their opinion, Amber is going to rehab as a sort of … vacation? “I think it’s an excuse to ditch her responsibility as an adult.” They say that she is no genuinely trying to change. “Not to really get any help.” This source does not expect to be overwhelmed by the results of Amber’s 90 days away. “I’d be very surprised if she came out changed for the better.” This insider also thinks that it may be some sort of stunt. “Amber in my opinion is only going to therapy for attention and what it does for the show.” Overall, this person clearly does not think highly of Amber. “She’s just irresponsible, immature, so maybe it’ll get her act together.” Yikes. We wish Amber Baltierra the best of luck during her rehab stint. We can only imagine how much she will miss her children. She’s planning to be gone until August , folks. And while we’re sure that Tyler understands, Catelynn Lowell only returned from rehab last February. Now, his sister is entering a facility. It’s good that they’re getting help, but he has to be missing these important figures in his life while they’re away. View Slideshow: Tyler Baltierra: Is He Going to Rehab Next?!

Great news for Joanna Krupa fans: she’s engaged! Technically, Joanna did not say the words … but she instead showed off her new ring (in the very conspicuous photo that you’ll see below) and tagged her new fiance in the photo. She let fans but two and two together. The photo that you’re about to see shows Joanna Krupa’s hand and Douglas Nunes’ hand, alongside some wonderful dogs. Joanna tagged Douglas. She also tagged Winston, the large white dog, who has his own Instagram account. On the ring finger of her left hand, fans and followers can clearly see what looks like a large, beautiful engagement band. Her caption, however, belies the signficance of the photo. She writes: “Just another weekend in the Krupa-Nunes household.” But look:at the anything-but-ordinary picture. We had to take a moment to admire the beautiful, precious, sleepy dogs for a moment before we noticed the ring. Take your time. Joanna hasn’t exactly been outspoken about her relationship with fiance Douglas Nunes. (Note: this is Douglas Nunes, not to be confused with the politician, Devin Nunes, of “Nunes Memo” fame) In fact, she’s even playing coy in this photo announcement. The whole relationship has been pretty hush-hush, and it seems like Douglas is a fairly private person. Though a factor in the couple’s apparent shyness might be how recently Joanna ended her last relationship. Here we see Joanna with her last husband, Romain Zago. The two of them finalized their divorce just 8 months ago. It was, however, an amicable split. So amicable, in fact, that Romain Zago testified that her vagina smells great during the most absurd lawsuit in recent memory. Plenty of women can’t get their ex to agree to a visitation schedule during a divorce, and Joanna had Romain sit at the witness stand and sing the praises of her genital odor. That whole story was bonkers and amazing. But, as you may recall, Joanna Krupa won her lawsuit against Brandi Glanville, who was forced to apologize for ever questioning the olfactory qualities of Joanna’s nether bits. We can’t help but imagine the hours of law school and the courtroom experiences that led everyone involved to one day take a case involving a vagina odor lawsuit. In general, though, Joanna leads an amazing life as a beautiful celebrity. She endorses products on Instagram, she reminds the world that she is shockingly gorgeous, and she also promotes animal rights causes and shares stories related to that with fans. Joanna’s fans are of course very happy for her and filled her comments with congratulations. There were, unfortunately, some snide comments about how recently she divorced Romain. But … remember, just because the divorce was finalized 8 months ago doesn’t mean that her relationship with Douglas is some sort of rebound. Divorces, even the nice ones, take time. She and Douglas have had plenty of time to get to know one another. We wish the two of them the best! View Slideshow: Joanna Krupa: Her 19 Hottest Moments of All Time

Jill Duggar’s husband Derick Dillard lives in a world where transgender people literally do not exist. Based on this view, the former reality star has earned significant backlash online. But it actually may not be the best example of how Dillard lives in his own, manufactured universe. Not after the ex-Counting On regular responded a few days ago to statement about his status on this popular TLC program. “Missing you and Jill on Counting On. Do not know why you are gone from the show,” wrote a fan of Derick’s this month, adding: “Loved watching your journey. God Bless you, Jill and the kids.” Dillard appreciated the message and wrote back: “We were going in a different direction as a family and decided to stop doing filming.” “Thank you; we hope you are encouraged in some way by our journey, especially our reliance upon our savior, Jesus Christ.” To anyone who has actually followed Dillard’s journey, this response is rich… … and flat out inaccurate. Last November, TLC issued a statement that said it had “no plans” to work with Dillard in the future after he made controversial statements about the LGBT community. Specifically, Dillard insulted and mocked fellow reality star Jazz Jennings on multiple occasions, lashing out at her transgender lifestyle. For example, just three weeks ago, Dillard labeled Jennings as a male , despite the teenager insisting in many occasions that she identities as female. Long before this latest jab, Dillard took it upon himself to slam the entire concept of anyone identifying as a gender that he or she was not born as, Tweeting: “What an oxymoron… a ‘reality’ show which follows a non-reality. ‘Transgender’ is a myth. Gender is not fluid; it’s ordained by God.” At the time, Derick tried to defend himself. Terribly. He stated that he had nothing against Jennings; that he “only [has an] issue with the words and definitions being propagated here.” So, you know, Dillard only has an issue with everything Jennings is, and stands for. That’s all. Nothing more! Several weeks after Derick first attacked Jennings and people like her, TLC confirmed it would never work with the bigot again. We want to let our viewers know that Derick Dillard has not participated in Counting On for months , wrote the network late last year, adding: The network has no plans to feature him in the future. We want to reiterate that Derick’s personal statements do not reflect the views of the network. TLC is proud to share the story of Jazz Jennings and her family and will continue to do so. Could one interpret this as saying that Dillard CHOSE not participate in filming, as he claims above, and the network then simply let viewers know that it didn’t plan on including him going forward? Yes. But does anyone really doubt that Dillard would embrace the opportunity to enter the spotlight again via a role on the show if asked by producers? View Slideshow: Derick Dillard Labels Transgender Movement as Form of Child Abuse After TLC Tweeted its quasi firing of the D-Lister, Dillard Tweeted the following : “Thank you to all those who have supported us and given us so many words of encouragement recently. God bless you all!” He also added a bible verse: “A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. (Proverbs 17:22).” Thankfully (or the exact opposite of thankfully), those who still want to hear from Dillard do not need to watch him each week on TLC in order to do so.

It was the penultimate night of the Battle Rounds on The Voice, and that meant it was time to whittle down the remaining contestants. As has been the case for much of The Voice Season 14, the episode featured the best and worst of the talent. There were some steals, some great performances and some that made us wonder why the performer made it through the Blind Auditions. Let’s break down Night 3 of the Battle Rounds! Team Blake: Pryor Baird vs. Kaleb Lee – “Don’t Do Me Like That” We already knew Pryor was going to win this battle. Pryor has some of the best vocals to grace the stage. There was really no competition here, and it was difficult not to feel bad for Kaleb. Kaleb decided to dial the volume all the way up, and it definitely changed his vocals for the worse. Winner: Pryor Steal: Kaleb to Team Kelly Team Adam: Mia Boostrom vs. Genesis Diaz – “Because of You” Who would have thought that Mia would be one of the best performers of the night? Her previous performance was rather mediocre. But she brought it in a big way for her battle. Mia won a lot of praise for hitting the lower notes and the higher ones without much of a struggle. That’s not to say Genesis was bad. It was a great rendition, but Mia had the edge throughout. Winner: Mia Team Kelly: Justin Kilgore vs. Molly Stevens – “Burning House” This battle was a polarizing one. On the surface, Justin had the charisma and the stage presence to put him to the front of the pack. Unfortunately, his vocals were not up there with Molly’s, so we’re surprised Molly did not get taken to one of the other teams. Winner: Justin Team Adam: Drew Cole vs. Miya Bass – “Knocking’ on Heaven’s Door” This one was a close race throughout. Both competitors gave it their all, and it truly came down to the wire who would live to sing another day. Winner: Drew Cole Steal: Miya to Team Alicia Team Blake: Wilkes vs. Jordan Kirkdorffer – “Nobody to Blame” Chris Stapleton songs are not easy to cover, and Jordan learned that the hard way. He struggled to keep up with Wilkes, and it was glaringly obvious which one of them had the longer shelf life. Winner: Wilkes Team Alicia: Britton Buchanan vs. Jaclyn Lovey – “Thinking Out Loud” Pitting two of the best performers against each other is not a good idea on paper, but it is when a steal is thrown in for good measure. Both Britton and Jaclyn showed off their rock-solid vocals, and we are happy both made it through. Winner: Britton Steal: Jaclyn to Team Blake The Voice continues tonight on NBC!
