Cameron Boyce, Popular Disney Channel Star, Dead at 20

Tragic and shocking news today out of the television universe: Cameron Boyce, a rising and popular actor best known for roles on Disney projects such as Descendants and Jessie, has been found dead. He was only 20 years old. According to a statement releasd by Boyce’s family, the actor passed away in his sleep after suffering a seizure. This is what the 20-year old’s loved ones wrote in their heartfelt statement: It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron. He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him. We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother. Boyce had been acting since he was nine years old and was deeply involved in charity work. In March of this year, he was actually introduced former Vice President Joe Biden at the Biden Courage Awards. He was also honored with the Pioneering Spirit Award at last year’s Thirst Gala, sponsored by the Thirst Project, a nonprofit for which Boyce raised $30,000 to build wells for clean drinking water in Swaziland. Cameron was a very impressive young man. “We offer our deepest condolences to his family, castmates and colleagues and join his many millions of fans in grieving his untimely passing. He will be dearly missed,” a Disney Channel spokesperson said in response to the awful news. After making his big screen debut in the film Mirrors, Boyce struck it big just two years later when he was cast as one of Adam Sandler’s children in the movie Grown Ups. He went on to achieve Disney stardom as one of the leads in show Jessie. Boyce starred as Luke Ross alongside the eponymous Jessie Prescott, played by Debby Ryan on a series that ran for four seasons and 98 episodes. His role in the Descendants films, which led cable TV film ratings in 2015 and 2017, catapulted him to even greater heights. Here is a promotional photo from that franchise: Added Disney Channel in its message: “From a young age, Cameron Boyce dreamed of sharing his extraordinary artistic talents with the world. As a young man, he was fueled by a strong desire to make a difference in peoples’ lives through his humanitarian work. “He was an incredibly talented performer, a remarkably caring and thoughtful person and, above all else, he was a loving and dedicated son, brother, grandson and friend.” Boyce, who had 8.1 million followers on Instagram, was next set to appear in the HBO shows Mrs. Fletcher. We send our condolences to his friends, family members and loved ones. May Cameron Boyce rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2019: In Memoriam

Jenelle Evans Taunts Amber Portwood in Wake of Troubling Arrest

Jenelle Evans and Amber Portwood have a lot in common. They are both members of Teen Mom Nation…  they both have multiple children… and they've both run afoul of the law on multiple occasions. The latest (SERIOUS!) transgression took place early on the morning of July 5, when Portwood got arrested for felony domestic assault . The victim? Andrew Glennon, Amber's long-term boyfriend and the father of her one-year old son. According to a 911 dispatch call, Glennon feared for his toddler's life . Like we said: SERIOUS stuff. So, how did Evans reacts to this Portwood news? In typical Evans fashion. Scroll down to see what we mean… 1. Let’s Start with What Happened Around 3 a.m. on July 5, Glennon texted 911 (this is permitted in the state of Indiana) and said that Amber attacked him while he was holding little James. 2. YIKES A spokesperson for the Indiana Police Department spoke to Radar Online and confirmed what led to Portwood’s arrest, telling the celebrity gossip website: “I received a text message from somebody saying that their life and their son’s life is in danger.

Archie Harrison Christening Photos: Royally Adorable!

For Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, it’s official. And also so gosh darn precious. On Saturday morning, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gathered their loved ones at Windsor Castle for a special religious event about two months in the making. We’re talking, of course, about the Christening of Royal son Archie, who was at the center of a blessed event that brought together friends, family members and even rumored foes. Among the most notable attendees? Doria Ragland, Markle’s mother, as well as Prince William and Kate Middleton, Markle’s supposed blood rivals. As seen in a family portrait shared on Harry and Meghan’s Instagram account (above), Prince Charles and wife Camila, Duchess of Cornwall were also there… along with Princess Diana’s sisters Lady Sarah McCorquodale and Lady Jane Fellowes. What an amazing image, right? And the same can be said for the one of Meghan and Harry down below: “This is a beautiful milestone and they are excited to share it as a family first and then with the world,” said a People Magazine source of Harry and Markle, who wore a white Dior dress to her son’s christening. As for the official caption affiliated with these brand new family pictures? This is what the Palace wrote of the Christening online: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are so happy to share the joy of this day with members of the public who have been incredibly supportive since the birth of their son. They thank you for your kindness in welcoming their first born and celebrating this special moment. Their Royal Highnesses feel fortunate to have enjoyed this day with family and the godparents of Archie. Archie came into the world on May 6. Two days later, he made his public debut when his famous parents strolled out in front of a select number of journalists and posed for a few gorgeous photographs. Since this time, Markle has remained on maternity leave and the couple has mostly kept themselves and their son far away from the spotlight … much to the irritation of some British citizens. Meghan and Harry’s desire for this privacy has been met with a great deal of criticism from those whose tax money helps fund their home and lifestyle. The Duchess and Duke of Sussex have offered just a scant few glimpses of their son since his birth in May — and the public has yet to see his full face. The former actress and her red-headed soulmate also continue to break from recent royal tradition, in this case NOT publicly announcing the names of their son’s godparents around the time of his Christening. Moreover, Markle and Harry will soon whisk Archie off to Africa . But, hey, at least we’ll always have the snapshots above, right? They’re adorable.

Ryan and Mackenzie Edwards: Actually Expecting Baby #2!

Troubled Teen Mom OG ne’er-do-well Ryan Edwards suddenly has a brand new reason to stay clean, sober and out of jail. Or, to be more specific, Ryan Edwards will have a brand new reason to stay clean, sober and out of jail … in about six months. That is when he and wife Mackenzie Standifer (Edwards) will welcome their second child into the world. Oh, yes, folks, Ryan is about to be a father once again! This exciting, unexpected and sort of frightening news was broken late on Friday by Mackenzie herself, as she shared a very clear sonogram photo on her Instagram page and wrote as a caption: Baby Girl Edwards is coming in January! So there you have it: an approximate due date AND a gender reveal, all wrapped up in one scary sentence. Scary, that is, only due to Ryan’s history as a father and simply as a human being in general. He and Mackenzie are parents to his son Bentley (with his ex Maci Bookout) and their son Jagger. Mackenzie, meanwhile, is the mother of Hudson, her son from her first marriage. Jagger (above) was born just this past October – but Edwards was not around for the birth because he was in rehab for the third time due to drug and alcohol abuse. Just a few months after being released, Edwards went to prison for 90 more days after he was arrested on a charge of theft and also for an outstanding warrant in connection to a past drug possession charge. (In this latest instance, Edwards was accused of ordering six whiskey drinks at a bar in January, only to exit the establishment without paying his tab.) The disgraced Teen Mom star has been in and out of both rehab and prison for years. He rose to fame back in the day as the father of a now-10-year old Bentley, who he shares with veteran MTV star Maci Bookout (above). As recently as last year, Mackenzie and Ryan said they were leaving Teen Mom because, in their view, producers did not want someone in the cast who had been so closely and frequently involved with drugs. But the couple just recently returned for the start of a new season. They seem to be strangely stable, as well, at least in terms of having no plans to ever get divorced. Yes, Ryan has been abusing drugs for nearly the entirety of their relationship. And, yes, he allegedly went on Tinder, hit on women and asked to be hooked up with cocaine as soon as he left rehab late last year. But Mackenzie has made it clear, long before this pregnancy reveal went viral, that she is committed to her marriage. Asked by a follower in March if she had plans to leave her husband, Mackenzie responded as sharply as possible. “Hell no,” she wrote online. To Mackenzie’s credit, she has refrained from trashing Ryan in public as well. Despite the reality star giving his wife plenty of understandable reasons to do so, especially over the past several months, they have dealt with it largely in house. “You deal with your crap at home,” she told fans this spring, adding: “That’s how I was raised, and that’s how I’m going to be. I’m not going to publicly humiliate him. That does not work and I believe that’s so disrespectful to do that.” That’s actually admirable, we guess. In any case, Mackenzie and Ryan are certainly in it for the long haul now. View Slideshow: Maci Bookout: Ryan Edwards Was a Piece of Sh!te Dad From Jail! They’re about to welcome their second kid as husband and wife and fourth overall between them. And just think: all Edwards has to do is be present for the little girl’s birth and it’ll be an improvement on last time, too. Way to set a very low bar for yourself, dude. Seriously, though, we hope you have learned from your past mistakes and we do wish you and Mackenzie the best here. Don’t eff it up, Ry Guy.

Briana DeJesus: Jenelle Evans Has the RIGHT to Endanger Her Kids!

Jenelle Evans chose her husband, David Eason, over the safety of her children, even after he brutally murdered their dog in front of them. One piece of good news is that Maryssa, Jace, Kaiser, and Ensley are not living on The Land right now. Another is that they hopefully won't be put back in harm's way — at least, not right now. Reports say that Jenelle Evans' custody battle could go on for months . That should at least buy the children some time. But Jenelle's (former) castmate, Briana DeJesus, thinks that it's wrong to keep the kids relatively safe. She thinks that they should be sent back to Jenelle's trauma factory of a house. Why? Because Briana believes that kids should stay with their moms — no matter what . 1. Briana is Team Jenelle! They’ve been friends for a while. Some friends would express concern about allegations that David has been abusing Jenelle and her children for years. 2. That’s right — the kids and dogs aren’t the only ones at risk Remember when Jenelle dialed 911 and described David assaulting her but later claimed that it was a misunderstanding? Sure, Jan. But Briana doesn’t seem too worried. 3. Even Briana hasn’t heard from her much lately She’s admitted that she hasn’t spoken to Jenelle regularly since David Eason’s brutal murder of Nugget. 4. That continued even after CPS came for the kids The court acted swiftly and in the best interests of the children by removing them from Jenelle and David’s house of horrors due to Jenelle’s “failure to protect” them. 5. Briana says she understands the unreturned texts “I haven’t spoken to Jenelle in a bit,” Briana admits to RadarOnline. “Due to the fact that she’s clearly tied up, dealing with a lot right now.” 6. Then Briana throws her support behind Jenelle “With that being said,” Briana announces. “I believe all kids should be with their moms, especially the younger ones.” View Slideshow

Demi Lovato is Totally Crushing on This Bachelorette Suitor

Mike Johnson was sent packing on this week’s episode of The Bachelorette . It was a heartbreaking development for the contestant, who straight up told Hannah Brown that he could picture himself proposing someday… … only for Brown to NOT echo this sentiment and, consequently, NOT give Mike a rose after their one-on-one date. A portfolio manager who lives in San Antonio, Mike followed up his rejection on the episode by Tweeting the following: Jus saying, my future wife though… girl you ready for smiles, adventure, comfort, growth, honesty, laughter, me falling using my inhaler and kissing your stretch marks and imperfections. He concluded by asking: Where u hiding? The answer, as it turns out, is: Hollywood! Demi Lovato, who had Tweeted here and there about Mike during his Bachelorette journey, actually responded to this message, hilariously writing: I’M RIGHT HERE MIKE I’M RIGHT HERE BOO MY MOM ALREADY LOVES YOU TOO. The artist has openly crushed on Mike for weeks, as she watched Monday’s installment via her Instagram Story as times and can be heard on there at one point saying of the aspiring husband. “Swing me, kiss me! Boo boo.” She even wrote “Mike I accept your rose” in one of her Stories. EEEEK, right?!? As far as we know, a celebrity has never dated a scorned contestant on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. But there’s a first time for everything, right? We swear, we heard that once. Lovato, who has mostly been laying low while she recovers from her near-fatal overdose last summer, is an avid and unabashed fan of The Bachelorette this season. She’s been cheering Mike on from the outset, while agreeing with everyone out there not named Hannah Brown is loudly trashing awful front-runner Luke Parker. “Hannah, honey, do not trust him!!!!!!” Lovato captioned a clip of the dating series on her Instagram Stories last month. She posted this note to Hannah after Luke declared his love for the show’s lead; like two hours after meeting her for the first time. “Huh?! How?!” she wrote in response to this L-Bomb dropping, adding: “I’m uncomfortable. I’m cringing.” She’s also single. As far as we know, at least. So there you have it, Mike Johnson. We know you’re in the running to be the next The Bachelor, but why bother going through that exercise? Why waste your time with potential wives who will yell and argue and make you feel so very awkward at times? Demi Lovato is right here. And she’s totally awesome. We think you know what you have to do. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette Spoilers: Who Gets Exposed? Who Wins Hannah’s Heart? [UPDATED]

Jenelle Evans Takes the Stand In Custody Hearing: I’m the Best Mom Ever, Dude!

It feels like Jenelle Evans' fight to regain custody of her kids has been going on forever. But believe it or not, it wasn't until this week that Evans and her (allegedly) abusive husband took the stand to explain to a judge why they should be permitted to continue raising their children. If you know anything about the Easons temperaments, you can imagine why their lawyers might have put that part off as long as possible. But they weren't able to delay forever. And so, Jenelle and David spoke on their own behalf this week — and we have the latest on how it all went down. Read on if you're the type who simply can't look away from a trainwreck: 1. Courtroom Drama According to sources close to the hearing, both Jenelle and David submitted testimony this week. 2. David on the Stand Earlier this week, we reported that David took the stand on Monday — and as you can imagine, the courtroom was stunned by his lawyers’ decision to have a known lunatic testify on his own behalf. 3. The Nugget Incident David, of course, is the one who started all this when he prompted a CPS investigation by shooting and killing Jenelle’s French bulldog, Nugget. 4. A Necessary Mistake So while it may seem like an egregiously bad idea for David’s lawyers to put him on the stand, it would’ve looked even worse if he had refused to testify. 5. Color Us Shocked “Everyone was surprised that David’s lawyer was willing to put him on the stand,” one insider told The Ashley’s Reality Roundup. 6. Friendly Fire “No one expected him to testify,” the insider added. “He only got up on the stand during the last few minutes [of the hearing on Monday], and only his own lawyer questioned him.” View Slideshow

Farrah Abraham: Rumors of Prostitution Intensify as Alleged Sugar Daddy is Revealed!

OK, so pretty much everyone believes that Farrah Abraham is a prostitute now, right? That's just where we're at at this point in time. The rumors have been swirling for months and months at this point, if not years, and the evidence just keeps piling up. It's actually pretty easy to believe when everything's all laid out. And it's even easier now that Instagram sleuths have figured out the identity of one of Farrah's possible sugar daddies. Let's dive in, friends … there's a whole, whole lot to discuss. 1. It’s Farrah Time “Hold up,” you may be thinking. “We know Farrah did that sex tape and everything, but am I honestly supposed to believe that she is also an escort?” 2. Or This Or you may be thinking “Yeah, Farrah’s an escort, what’s new?” 3. Our Girl Farrah has done so, so much with her Teen Mom fame, it’s hard to keep up, so no hard feelings if you’re not familiar with this theory. 4. Recap Time! And if you are familiar with the theory, just chill for a minute while everybody else catches up, OK? 5. Back Door Superstar OK, so Farrah released that sex tape a few years ago, and since then, so much of her public persona has been about sex. 6. Looking Back She’s released sex toys, she’s done some stripping, and of course she’s done those camgirl shows that eventually helped her lose her spot on Teen Mom OG. View Slideshow

John David Duggar & Abbie Burnett Go Silent on Social Media: Is Their Marriage In Trouble ALREADY?!

For a long time, the children of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar were forbidden to join social media until they were in relationship that appeared to be headed toward marriage. This rule was loosened somewhat to allow Jana Duggar to join Instagram even though she’s still single. Like so much of what the Duggars do, it makes little to no sense, but the Counting On clan seems to feel no need to explain themselves. So for whatever reason, the very minor pleasure of uploading pics and liking posts are generally restricted to Duggars who have found their match. Which is why it’s so weird that John David Duggar and Abbie Burnett have already ghosted their Instagram followers. John David and Abbie got married  in November, and they launched a joint account shortly after their courtship began. On May 12, the couple posted the pic below, along with a caption announcing a contest in honor of Mother’s Day; “Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there!!!” going on to announce a contest to “win a whole new wardrobe from [Citrus and Lemon].” But it’s not the redundancy of the name Citrus and Lemon that has fans upset. No, it’s the fact that John David and Abbie never announced a winner for their contest — in fact, after that post they appear tyo have disappeared from social media entirely. Yes, after waiting their entire adult lives to haop aboard the Instagram train, these two basically got off at the first stop. It’s been almost two months since that post, and John and Abbie have nit updated their page since. Duggar obsessives follow the family’s every move, so it’s no surprise that many are concerned about the sudden disappearance. “Are you guys ok??” one fan asked. “Abby girl! What happen? Wheres you and john these days?” another commented. “Abby please post more you and john. We miss ya. Unless there is a reason we will find out later,” a third remarked. “You are a perfect match and one of my.favorite couples on counting on!” Now, the most likely explanation is that Abbie and John David quickly realized that they missed the brief period in which social media was anything other than a cesspool of bigotry and political hot takes, and they made the wise decision to bail on the whole scene. But because this is the internet in 2019, the most likely explanation has been shoved aside in favor of scandalous hot takes. Some fans are speculating that there’s trouble in paradise, but the most common theory seems to be that Abbie is secretly pregnant . “Your (sic) next in line for baby time,” wrote a third. “Well!!!!! Any big (gotta wait 9mo) news?” another asked. It’s a stretch, but if Abbie is pregnant, she would join the roughly 9 million other Duggar women who are currently expecting: View Slideshow: The Duggars: Who’s Courting? Pregnant? Next In Line?
