Farrah Abraham: I Need a Man Who Will Keep My Secrets and Knock Me Up!

Since Farrah Abraham loves to drag daughter Sophia to all of her adult parties , it’s no surprise that she brought her along to an interview. There, Farrah discussed what she’s looking for in a man. One, he needs to love Sophia, which is great. Two, he needs to sign an NDA. … How romantic? Reality television villain Farrah Abraham sat down with Us Weekly for a very, very lengthy interview alongside 10-year-old Sophia. “What am I looking for in a partner?” Farrah begins. “I would say a partner who is well-rounded, loves my daughter, and loves dogs.” She elaborates: “Just a good, fun, outgoing person.” “I’m sure all of us who are single, which there are so many of us, are looking for a great human being,” she suggests. “But there’s very few,” she admits, without acknowledging that she is not one of those few. “Sophia really hopes that she gets a brother or sister,” Farrah says when it comes to growing her family. Sophia then interjects very firmly that she wants a brother. There’s no or sister on her wishlist. “I just hope I meet a human who’s great enough to do that with,” the former Teen Mom villain expresses. “But,” Farrah insists. “I’m in no rush.” “I’m OK being married to myself at this point,” she says. Farrah shares that giving Sophia a younger sibling doesn’t necessarily involve her giving actual physical birth. “I’m OK with adopting,” she announces. But she’s not hurrying off to some agency, either. “Sophia is my one and only right now,” Farrah affirms. ‘We have a happy family,” she claims. “We’re great right now.” “When it comes to dating now, especially after all my therapy and relationship therapy, I’ve just seen some really nasty things in men,” Farrah says. Farrah may not be one of our favorite people, on the grounds of her nastiness and her racist attacks, but she’s not wrong about that. She expresses: “I definitely don’t need anyone dating me anymore because I’m famous or I’m a celebrity.” “I take that really serious now,” Farrah reveals. “I definitely know what I’m looking at now when it comes to personalities and behavior and human behavior,” she adds. How can she bring herself to trust in a world where everybody’s looking for a little fame or a little money — or both? “I don’t take any chances anymore,” Farrah explains. “They sign NDA.” She details: “They’re not allowed to call press or other people, be friends with reporters.” (I’m sure that my friends are all crushed that they can’t date Farrah) “I take it really serious,” Farrah insists. Farrah has been teaching Sophia about sexism, but in an extremely Farrah way. “I discussed with her about being a celebrity in the limelight, and if a female acts like a male, it’s treated way differently, as we’ve seen,” she says. Notably, most actual feminists would consider someone using “male” or “female” like that to be a red flag. “I think Sophia understands the harshness and the unfairness and the sexist attitudes toward women when they act like males,” Farrah adds. “Sophia will rise and be above that,” she predicts. “She’s definitely aware.” “I talk to her about me having sex with a pornstar, yes,” Farrah reveals. That makes a lot of sense. Sophia is 10. Certainly old enough to get forewarned that her mom was in an adult video. “I’m a celebrity, so it was taken way out of context, wasn’t it?” she argues. “It was sensationalized.” “So I think if you’re confused about something, my daughter is very much not confused about how the world sees it,” Farrah concludes. So … on that note, who’s lining up to date Farrah? Any takers? View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: Broke as Crap But Still Tryna Keep Up Appearances!

The Duggars: Done With Hurricane Relief Efforts ALREADY?!

Well, that was fast! Just last week we reported that several members of the Duggar family had traveled to the Bahamas in order to assist with Hurricane Dorian relief efforts . Now, it seems they either finished the job way ahead of schedule or realized rebuilding a nation is, like, super hard and decided to just pack it in. Look, before you go and flame us in the comments, volunteering is always admirable; we’re sure the Duggars’ hearts were in the right place; and they’re under no obligation to stay until the job is finished, which it may never be. That said, the fans who immediately suspected this was some sort of publicity stunt? Yeah, they may have been onto something. On Monday, Joy-Anna Duggar posted the above photo, in which she can be seen welcoming home her husband, Austin Forsyth. “He’s HOME!” Joy captioned the pic. “Keep praying for [medic corps] and some of my family as they are still working down in Bahamas!” Joy didn’t specify which members of her family are still in the Bahamas. But she did make yet another reference to Medic Corps, an organization that seems to have been founded by the Duggars sometime in the past couple weeks. As we mentioned, many fans have been highly critical of the Duggars’ involvement in the Dorian cleanup . This is primarily due to the fact that the family decided to launch its own non-profit, rather than simply volunteering for the Red Cross, or one of the many other established organizations already assisting in the efforts. As anyone who’s ever worked for one can tell you, a lot of people get very rich from so-called non-profits, and it looks like with Medic Corps., the Duggars are hoping to grab themselves a piece of the disaster relief pie. That’s fine, of course — making money is what the Duggars do best, and lately, it seems they’re more focused than ever on ensuring that their kids and grandkids are provided for long after the spotlight dims and the camera crews go home. But if they thought spending less than a week in a devastated region would be enough to convince fans they’re serious about the welfare of the Bahamas, it seems they were mistaken. Again, we don’t have the full story. Perhaps Austin had a reason to return early, and the other Duggars who made the trip are planning to see this thing through. But if the Duggars are hoping to continue on with Medic Corps., it might benefit them to get the whole story out there ASAP. View Slideshow: Duggar Family: Secrets of Their Twisted Ministry Revealed

Joe Giudice to Feds: I Give Up! Go Ahead and Deport Me!

It looks like Joe Giudice is all out of juice. As you’re probably aware, Giudice has been fighting deportation to his native Italy for several months now. But it seems that after his latest appeal was rejected , the former Real Housewives of New Jersey star is slowly coming to terms with the fact that his days in America may be numbered. According to a new report from Radar Online, a frustrated Giudice has essentially issued an ultimatum to the federal government: Either release me to my family, or hurry up and deport me. Currently, Giudice is being held in an ICE detention center , where he has resided since completing his prison sentence for tax fraud back in March. Joe has reportedly complained to loved ones that conditions in the ICE facility are worse than in the federal prison where he was served his time. And it seems he’ll do anything to be a free man again, even if that means taking an unwanted trip overseas. A source tells Radar that Joe has accepted the fact that he’ll almost certainly be deported. He has asked officials to allow him to return home and spend his remaining days in America with his wife and daughters. If they refuse to do so, he has requested that he be deported immediately, rather than spend additional time in the detention center. “It’s been horrible, and he doesn’t want to rot away there any longer,” says the insider . “The moment he is denied, he said he will pull his appeal and get ready to go to Italy.” A recently-released fellow detainee told Radar that the facility is “like in a dungeon” with cramped, filthy cells and subhuman living conditions. If Joe’s request is granted, and he’s permitted to await deportation with his family, it could be the last time he sees them for a very long time. Teresa Giudice has already indicated that she plans to divorce Joe if he gets deported, and it seems she’s already enjoying life as a single mom. Teresa is rumored to be dating Blake Schreck , a 26-year-old businessman whom she met during Joe’s time in prison. Though he doesn’t speak the language and hasn’t been to Italy since he was a child, we can see how life in America might be growing more unappealing to Joe by the day.

Amanda Bynes Just Joined Instagram, See Her New Hair & Nose Ring!

Today, on this very special Tuesday in September, I’m happy to share that Amanda Bynes has joined Instagram . The 33-year-old just made her first-ever post, and as usual, she is leaving quite a big impression. A few hours ago, the Nickelodeon alum directed her 2.9 million Twitter followers to her new Instagram page, writing, “Hey guys! I’m on Instagram now ! Check me out.” Since making the announcement, the beloved child star has already racked up around 28,000 followers!  Um, talk about a #Comeback.  Currently, there are only nine people in the world who are lucky enough to be followed by Ms. Bynes, most of them fashion designers and magazine outlets.  But Nicky and Paris Hilton also scored individual follows.  The first photo Amanda shared was a selfie, which offered a perfect glimpse into her edgy new look. She debuted her long, wavy pink locks and accessorized with a pink necklace and a gold septum ring, using a kissy face emoji for her caption. The comment section of the post was disabled, which honestly, is pretty impressive considering she is a newbie to IG. But also unfortunate because we can only imagine how much support and praise her post, as seen below, would’ve received. Oh well, we’re sending all the love anyway!  Amanda has slowly but surely been making her way back into the public eye.  But with that and the pressure of auditioning again, 5 months ago  she landed right back into rehab after an unfortunate “relapse”.  At the time, her family’s attorney told E! News that “Amanda is doing great, working on herself, and taking some well-deserved time off to focus on her wellbeing after graduating FIDM in December.”  Right before her graduation, Amanda graced the cover of  Paper magazine, where she opened up about her past struggles with mental health and drugs .  While most of us remember her as the charming, beautiful lead in some of the best early 00’s rom-coms like What a Girl Wants and She’s the Man (great movie don’t @ me) Amanda saw something else. At the time, she said watching herself play a boy in the popular soccer film sent her into a months-long depression. “When the movie came out and I saw it, I went into a deep depression for 4 to 6 months because I didn’t like how I looked when I was a boy,” she explained. Bynes also discussed her experience with smoking marijuana, along with taking other drugs, and how it changed her entire personality and outlook on life.  “I was high on marijuana when I saw [ Easy A ], but for some reason, it really started to affect me,” she said. “I don’t know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things.” The Hairspray actress has been sober for four years now, and even though her road to recovery has taken some dark turns, fans are remaining optimistic.  Hopefully, we will get to see some of her life updates through more photos on Instagram!  The comeback is real this time, folks.

Josh Duggar: Headed Back to Court Following Latest Legal Defeat

There are numerous disadvantages to being born into the Duggar family: After all, having your every action dictated by either God or Jim Bob must get pretty old sometime around your teen years, But Duggar-dom has plenty of perks, as well. In case you unaware, the Duggars are rich — really, really rich. And it’s not just reality show money, either. The Duggar empire is a many-tentacled beast. Real estate agencies, car dealerships, local politics — if there’s a way to make money in the state of Arkansas, and the Walton family hasn’t already claimed it for themselves, you can bet the Duggars are taking full advantage. But like every other aspect of life in the Counting On clan, this diversity of business interests is not without its disadvantages. Take Josh Duggar, for example. He’ll never work on TV again, and he’s virtually unemployable following the revelation that he molested five young girls , so at least his father’s wheelings and dealings provide Josh with a way to feed his family. But life for the father of five has been a tangle of lawsuits and legal wranglings ever since he was fired from Counting On . Many of Josh’s legal issues stem from his feeling that he’s the “real” victim in his sex crimes. Josh has sued In Touch Weekly for breaking the story, local police for providing documents in accordance with the tabloid’s FOIA request, and just about everyone else who was in any way involved in news of his crimes going public. But these days, Josh also finds himself in court a lot in connection to his shady business dealings. According to court documents obtained by Radar Online, Josh will soon be forced to stand trial in a lawsuit he’d been working to have dismissed. “The above-captioned cause is hereby set for a three-day jury trial beginning on April 27, 2020 at 8:45 a.m., in Room 208 of the Benton County Courthouse, Bentonville, Arkansas,” the document stated. Josh is being sued by a name Carl Echols for buying land from a third party. The only problem is, the land belonged to Echols and was not up for sale. Echols claims Josh knew this and proceeded with the deal anyway. In other words, Josh (allegedly) went full European settler and this poor fella’s property and basically planted a flag while dude wasn’t home. Yeah, you can’t do that — but it’s the sort of behavior that’s reportedly encouraged by the Duggar patriarch. Insiders say Jim Bob is hated by his neighbors , who believe he’s basically trying to take over the small town of Tontitown, Arkansas, as well as its nearest neighbor, Sprindgale. So Josh might have been breaking the law again — but at least this time he made his daddy proud! View Slideshow: Anna Duggar Blasts Josh Haters: We Will NEVER Get Divorced!

13 TV Shows That Need to Be Canceled. Like, Right NOW

Some TV shows know when to call it quits.  Others are dragged kicking and screaming on for season after season.  These 13 TV shows need to be canceled with no prior announcement.  Just end them already! 1. 13 Reasons Why – Netflix The first season was a solid, but the second was laughable. The third was even worse. It doesn’t even deserve a final season to wrap things up. End it NOW. 2. Fear the Walking Dead – AMC When Fear the Walking Dead debuted, it was a cut above its predecessor. But after some changes behind the scenes, the better characters were written out to make way for silly characters. The current fifth season is essentially a satire. 3. The Hills: New Beginnings – MTV The Hills was stale long before it went off the air in 2010. This reboot is about 10 times worse. The plots are forced, and it plays out as though the cast is desperate to create drama. It’s pretty sad. 4. Veronica Mars – Hulu Fans rejoiced when Veronica Mars returned as a series on Hulu, but then they went and killed off one of the most important characters. Now, fans really want the series to crash and burn. 5. The Affair – Showtime The Affair was groundbreaking when it launched, but it’s now in its fifth and final season. Absolutely nothing of note has happened, so it would be better to just cancel it without airing the rest of the episodes. It’s hard to imagine them being much better than the nonsense the series has been churning out. 6. Grey’s Anatomy – ABC We hate to say it, but Grey’s Anatomy has run its course. The show stopped being good several seasons ago. It should end while it still has decent ratings. View Slideshow

Mike Sorrentino is Almost a Free Man. Now What?!?

Look out, bars, tanning salons and gyms around the country. You’re about to have a situation on your hands. Literally! Following an eight-month stint behind bars after he pleaded guilty on tax evasion charges, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino is scheduled to be released from Otisville Federal Correctional Institution on Thursday, September 12. The reality star has reportedly been on his best behavior ever since checking in to this facility late last year — and he also reportedly has major plans upon his release. Such as? Putting a baby inside his wife , Lauren, according to multiple sources. How exciting, right?!? Ever since his incarceration, Sorrentino has remained in the news at time due to visits from Lauren  and also some of his Jersey Shore co-stars. They’ve posted for photos with their loved one and, as you can see above, shared some of these photos on social media. We can expect to see plenty more of these over the next several weeks, after Mike gets out of the big house, but here’s the thing: He won’t be walking out and then into the arms of his beloved better half. Instead, as previously reported, Sorrentino will head to a halfway house , per the conditions of his earlier guilty plea. “Mike is getting released to a federal halfway house and there is no partying or drinking allowed,” inmate-turned-author Dan Wise previously told Radar Online, explaining in more detail: “After serving a month or so in a halfway house, he will transition to home confinement, possibly for the last two weeks of his sentence.” Even after this time is up and served, Mike’s debt to socierty will not be completely paid back. The MTV personality is also facing 24 months of supervised release and 500 hours of community service following his discharge from the clink. This is what happens when you try and cheat the government, okay, kids? Still, according to Hollywood Life, Mike does have a reason to be excited after he gets out of jail: a big blowout is in the works to celebrate his freedom. “Everyone’s planning on seeing him right away and there’s a big celebration being planned for when he gets out with all of his family and friends,” an insider close to Mike and Lauren told the celebrity gossip website. Sorrentino, of course, married Lauren Pesce in November and then checked into FCI Otisville on Thursday, January 15. We hope he’s learned his lessons and will be a model citizen upon his release. While still doing silly things and entertaining us to no end, naturally. View Slideshow: 13 Most Controversial Reality TV Shows of All-Time

Alaskan Bush People Renewed for Season 11 as Matt Brown Returns!

In early August, we knew that Matt Brown planned to return to Alaskan Bush People . But that was far from official. The truth of the matter is that he had burned some bridges with his family. Now, however, Matt has not only proven himself with his folks, he’s signed the paperwork — which is good news for fans in more ways than one. Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown spent months estranged from his family — especially from his father, Billy Brown. See, Matt’s struggles with alcoholism landed him in rehab about a year ago. After that, he had the support of his family to remain sober, but ended up having some stumbles along the way — as many addicts do. Unfortunately, along the way, he had a major falling out with his dad and ended up storming off to SoCal. There, he reportedly hung out with a girlfriend and, though he retained contact with some family (including Ami), essentially ghosted the new homestead. That, folks, is why Matt was a no-show in Season 10. But there is good news. As we reported, Matt headed up to Washington early last month to spend a week hanging out with his folks. While there, he had a nice long talk with his dad and the two of them mended fences. He was even invited back to the show. You could view this good news through a cynical lens and say that Matt just wanted that sweet reality TV paycheck. Regardless, he’s back with his family and soon will be back on camera. At the time, however, there was no official announcement. However, SoapDirt   has now revealed that Matt has taken the next step. Apparently he has now signed the paperwork to appear on the show again for Season 11. Now, here is the twist — and a fun surprise for fans. Discovery hasn’t actually announced that the show has been renewed for Season 11 yet. Fans get nervous when a show is in limbo. Sometimes they’re just waiting to announce, but other times it’s a way of preparing audiences for cancelation news. But you don’t generally sign paperwork for a season of a show that the network knows isn’t happening. Which means that Alaskan Bush People is very probably renewed for Season 11. Contrary to some past seasons, Season 11 of Alaskan Bush People was actually in doubt for some fans. While some seasons of the hit reality series have had extraordinary ratings, Season 9 slipped among viewers. That, however, was when the show’s timeslot was moved. For Season 10, the timeslot has been restored and viewership has improved appropriately. Even so, it’s a relief to hear that there are actual contracts for Season 11 being signed and filed. We don’t yet have a premiere date (or an episode count, which is nearly as important) for Season 11. But the mere knowledge that it will exist should be enough to put wind in the sales of longtime fans for months to come. Congratulations to Matt for making peace with his folks (and for getting back on the reality paycheck train). When we know more about Season 11, you’ll know more.

Keeping Up with the Kardashians Returns! With a Khloe Bombshell!

Reunited… and God, did it NOT feel good! On the Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 17 premiere Sunday night, viewers were given a glimpse into Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson‘s first public hang-out since the latter cheated on his baby mama with Jordyn Woods in February. And at least one stunning development came out of this gathering. As the episode opened, the 35-year old mother of one confessed she still had “so many raw emotions” towards her ex in the wake of their split. “I’m really just trying to figure out my own life at the moment,” she said. “I’m just healing and processing and going through the motions.” Thompson, of course, slept with other women while Khloe was pregnant with their daughter. She gave him another chance, however, only for Tristan to then swap spit with a good friend of Khloe and her family’s less than a year later. According to Khloe, Tristan had been trying to see her right around when the Season 17 premiere was filmed… but she kept turning down these requests.   “Tristan thinks people are disposable — if he sends me enough flowers or enough text messages, I’m going to come around,” she explained,  continuing along this theme as follows: “I still have not spoken to Tristan face-to-face and right now, I am not ready to. “I know I’ll get to that place, but right now it’s really challenging and tough for me. My feelings are super raw and I am really humiliated and hurt by what he did to me.” Kardashian and Thompson share young True, who turned a year old in April. Despite all he has done to her, Khloe has never tried to keep her ex away from her daughter — which meant she felt compelled to invite Thompson to his child’s birthday party on this premiere. “It’s the first time Tristan and I will be in a public setting together,” Khloe said. “I’m envisioning a party full of people, Tristan walks in and everyone is staring at us — I don’t want this at my daughter’s first birthday party.” She then recounted all the ways in which Thompson has tried to make up for his wandering penis and tongue. “All Tristan does is sent countless amounts of flowers, calls, texts, and I just haven’t been ready to talk to him because I feel like it’s going to turn into a screaming match and I don’t care to scream,” Khloe told viewers. “But I said that I would be willing for the first time to speak to him if there’s a therapist involved.” With this on the table, the parents did alleegedly take part in an off-camera therapy session via FaceTime “to help co-parent True,” but but Khloe said it went very poorly. She then wondered why she invited Thompson to True’s party. Ultimately, Khloe choce actually invited Thompson over the night before the shindog they could “get the whole initial weird first seeing each other out of the way in private.” This did make sense, but it also meant their reunion wasn’t filmed for the show and we had to rely on Khloe telling her assistant that it was “pretty awkward” to have any idea what transpired. “He was just kind of lingering … He was like, ‘So, do you want to grab a glass of wine?’” Khloe said, adding that Tristan even tried to kiss her after she reluctantly gave him a hug. Wait… WHAT? And how did Khloe respond? “I go, ‘This is the problem with you. You can’t just take what you get,’” she said, adding: “Then this morning he was like, ‘Thank you for letting me see True. She looked great, you looked even better.’ … Sometimes I feel like if I give an inch, he’ll take a mile and take my kindness for weakness.” Look, we suppose this may have happened. But doesn’t it seem just as likely that Khloe just made it all up for the sake of a storyline? It’s not like Thompson is in a place to publicly deny anything. As for how things went at the party? Khloe was mostly concerned about how Thompson would interact with Kim Kardashian , who had been a rather harsh critic ever since the Woods debacle. “This situation, it’s a little awkward,” Khloe said. “Everyone is staring at us and I’m really concerned, a little uncomfortable, about Kim and Tristan’s dynamic.” She should have been worried aboout Tristan and Kanye’s dynamic, as it turned out. Footage was shown on E! of the two having an animated conversation —  and while there was no audio, the rapper later claimed that Thompson was upset about the fact that the family used the intro to West’s song “Runaway” in a Season 17 teaser. (The lyrics reference toasting to “a—holes” and “scumbags.”) “He felt like we were using my music to reinforce his narrative,” West said, after which an angry Khloe fumed. “I don’t need at my daughter’s birthday party for any of this to be a discussion,” she said. “I know everyone’s intention is to help and be protective,” she added. “But at True’s birthday party, it’s not the right timing.” In conclusion, while Thompson is feuding with Kanye, he’s supposedly getting help from a past Kanye rival.

Larissa Lima: Seekng Treatment for Anxiety, Depression

90 Day Fiance alum Larissa Lima has admitted that marrying boyfriend Eric would be her dream come true . But for now, she's trying to work on her health — her mental and emotional well-being. Larissa recently revealed that she has been grappling with depression and anxiety for over a year. She's tried to resolve it herself, but nothing so far has worked. Now, she's prepared to seek real treatment — and you may be surprised at who's reportedly footing the bill. 1. Oh no, Larissa Last week, Larissa Lima posted and deleted a very heartfelt message about her mental and emotional health — and what she’s doing to remedy it. 2. She’s grappled with depression for over a year “I was devastated, emotionally exhausted, and my entire body ached from depression,” Larissa reveals, recalling the aftermath of her arrest in June 2018. 3. And THIS may explain some of her behavior “Sometimes, I was filmed while being on pain killers,” Larissa now admits. 4. She wasn’t especially functional Larissa describes: “I couldn’t move, do basic activities, or take care of myself.” 5. It sounds like Colt was a huge factor in her misery “You all know how my marriage started, ” Larissa says, referring to how Colt seduced her online but how life with him was nothing like she had expected and how his demeanor was suddenly much less charming — especially when cameras were not rolling. 6. She has more to say She continues, referring to her marriage: “and how it ended in the worst of ways.” Larissa and Colt’s marriage didn’t just end in divorce, but with a scary bloody fight. Larissa’s face was smeared in her own blood and her torso was covered with injuries, but Colt called the police first and she was the one arrested — yet again. View Slideshow
