Artie Lange: Finally Out of Jail, Headed Straight to Rehab

The sad saga of Artie Lange finally saw some good news today. After spending the past two weeks in jail, the troubled comic was released today. Unfortunately, Lange still has a great number of legal hurdles ahead of him. Worse, he continues to grapple with a number of substance abuse issues that loved ones fear may claim his life. Lange was arrested last month after failing a court-ordered drug test. He had been released from a mandatory treatment program just weeks earlier. Lange had previously been sentenced to rehab following an arrest for cocaine and heroin possession in 2017. Following rehab, fans were encouraged by Lange’s abrupt return to comedy, as well as by a series of tweets in which the 51-year-old spoke with optimism about his sobriety and his future. “Guys I will tweet about this once. Today in court they drug tested me,” a hopeful Lange wrote on December 14. “For the last decade or more they’d have found both Heroin and Cocaine.  With the help of in my eyes a miracle legal medication called Suboxen I tested negative for Heroin. I haven’t used Heroin in 41 days…” Shortly thereafter, however, an anonymous friend of the comedian’s revealed to Radar Online that Lange had fallen off the wagon and feared it was only a matter of time before he was found out. “He knows he won’t survive drug court, so he’s going to party as much as much as he can until he gets thrown in jail or a year-long rehab,” said the insider. “Even his sponsors from The Retreat [Lange’s most recent rehab center] know that he’s partying even though he’s denying it.” Lange denied those claims but seemed to contradict his own statement by stating that he knew where “the leak” was coming from and revealing that he felt his confidence had been betrayed. Immediately after his release from jail today, Lange was sent to an undisclosed rehab center for treatment. He still faces jail time for violating his probation, but his next court date has yet to be determined. “A hearing will not be set until Mr. Lange is close to completing the drug treatment program,” a court official told Radar Thursday afternoon. We wish Artie all the best in his continued recovery. View Slideshow: 31 Celebrities Who Have Been to Rehab

Vicki Gunvalson Demotion Earns Pity, Sympathy from Tamra Judge

In an absolutely stunning move, Bravo is demoting Vicki Gunvalson to “Friend” of the Housewives . Fans are almost speechless about this polarizing move, but Vicki claims that she’s still negotiating. In the mean time, her own castmates — well, most of them — are reacting with sympathy. Vicki losing her title as the OG of the OC has hit hard. Some fans can’t even believe it. RadarOnline spoke to an inside source who says that Vicki’s demotion is shocking and sad to her castmates, too. “Tamra feels really bad for her, of course,” the insider says. “All of the ladies besides Kelly Dodd do,” the source adds. Kelly Dodd and Vicki have been feuding intensely, lately, and Kelly has even pushed for Vicki’s removal from the show. She finally got her wish. However, Kelly isn’t the only one who feels tha tit’s past time for Vicki to step down. “Vicki set herself up for this,” the insider says. Apparently, some of the folks at Bravo felt that deposing the queen was a long time coming. “It wasn’t just one particular incident,” the source clarifies. “It was,” the insider then explains. “A culmination of a lot of different things over the past couple of seasons.” Her baseless accusations that Kelly Dodd is a coke fiend were only the latest hurtful, serious rumors to which she gave voice. But more to the point, Vicki just didn’t have a storyline this season. It has been entertaining to watch Vicki’s on-screen flirtations with Steve Lodge. However, her castmates — other than Kelly — hope that her romance can blossom off-camera. “The ladies saw Vicki go through so many relationships,” the source notes. “And,” the insider says. “They do feel like she and Steve could have a chance of staying together if she leaves the show.” “From what I hear,” the source shares. “He is supportive of her leaving and wants her to focus on her health and her family.” That’s great! Vicki has reportedly balked at the offer to become a mere “Friend” of the Housewives. She has stated on Twitter that she is still in negotiations. It is unclear if she will accept a diminished role. “She’s expected to return to the U.S. either Wednesday or Thursday” the source says. “And,” the insider adds. “She has to make up her mind about what she is going to do about the RHOC friend role offer when she returns.” That is a tough decision. Quitting the show altogether is an option, and may feel more dignified, but being a “Friend” could be a path back to Housewife status. Besides, surely some of her castmates would miss her. Notably, Vicki very recently mended fences with both Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador after ages of feuding. Two years ago, they would have been dancing on the grave of Vicki’s career. Now, not so much. With Vicki gone, Tamra will be the longest-running Housewife. Tamra has had her own off-screen drama lately. Her adult son went on a vicious transphobic rant , calling for the murder of transgender individuals. Any threats of indiscriminate violence against vulnerable minorities is serious business. And the trans community is notoriously a target for both bigotry and violence. Though Tamra apologized for his words, she had clicked “like” on one of his posts, deeply alarming fans of the show. While Tamra is of course not responsible for the hateful words of her adult son, that “like” was deeply disturbing. If it becomes part of a pattern, will Tamra be the next to lose her Housewife status? View Slideshow: Tamra Judge’s Son Pushes for Murder of a “Transgendered F-ck Head”

Justin Bieber & Hailey Baldwin Reality Show: Actually Happening?!

It’s been four months since Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin got married , and for the most part, the couple has kept a pretty low profile. But if you thought they would continue living life on the down-low, we assume you just awoke from a 20-year coma and are just now figuring out life in 2019. Here’s a brief crash course to bring you up to date: The crazy guy from The Apprentice is our president; the first season of The Sopranos hasn’t aged terribly well; and — most important to our discussion today — fame is the new currency, and everyone is obsessed with amassing as much as they can. So perhaps the reports of a Justin and Hailey reality show should come as no surprise. “Justin and his wife, Hailey, are in the early stages of developing a reality TV show about their new life together,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online. “The format looks similar to Newlyweds , the old MTV show about Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey.” Ah, yes. If there’s anything the youth of today are clamoring for it’s a rebooted relic from the Dark Ages of reality television. We know what you’re thinking — isn’t Justin way too famous to star in a reality show. And the answer, of course, is absolutely! But sometimes, A-listers have to lend a hand to their non-A-list spouses by doing time on reality TV. (We’re looking at you, Kimye!) Naturally, the stated goal of the show is to  make Hailey more famous  allow Justin’s fans to become more familiar with his new wife. “Justin is excited for his fans to get to know his beautiful wife better through the process,” says the insider, who’s beginning to sound more and more like a press agent. It’s important to note that just because there’s been talk about making the show, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily going to see the light of day. Obviously, Justin’s famous enough that it’ll happen if he wants it to. But there’s a good chance that he’ll come to the realization that reality stardom ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. In more serious Justin news, it seems Bieber is being treated for depression . His reps have been careful to note, however, that his mental state has nothing to do with his marriage. We’re guessing it’s just a result of living in the cesspool that is 2019. You may want to go back to sleep, hypothetical coma guy.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Recap: "Who Threw My Husband in the Pool?”

Wednesday’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey season finale was an action-packed one.  New housewife, Jennifer Aydin, was on hand to invite her co-stars to her huge home for a big season-ending party.  Well, the party was for her 16th wedding anniversary, but it did fall on the night the season finale was filmed, so there’s that.  The housewives, including Danielle Staub, arrived in some of their nicest get-ups of the season.  That’s when we learned that Danielle had been trying to poison Teresa against Margaret.  As you will recall if you watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills online , Teresa and Danielle were once at odds.  There table flips, fights, and crazy rumors. But they’ve left all that in the past. Teresa wants to see the best in Danielle, but everyone else could see the issue.  “Teresa’s not a very good judge of character,” Melissa Gorga said of her sister-in-law.  Melissa’s husband, Joe, was desperate to make things right between him, Margaret’s husband, Joe Benigno, and Danielle’s then-husband, Marty Caffrey.  The two Joes found Marty at the party and asked him to step outside with them to bury the hatchet once and for all.  Marty said that Joe was trying to paint Danielle in a bad light in the Bahamas for their wedding. In fact, the two Joes tried to tell Marty there was something amiss with Danielle.  “You were out of line. You should apologize,” Marty complained, but Joe B responded with, “No f–king way. You have to apologize for calling my wife all kinds of shit.” “You wanna talk shit?” Marty screamed. “You’re a f–king jealous motherf–ker. You wish you were me!” “You keep staring at Danielle’s tits because your wife doesn’t have any!” Marty shouted. “She doesn’t have the body Danielle has.” Margaret then showed up, and that’s when things got really out of hand.  “What is going on?!” she asked with a stern look on her face. Marge has been serving looks all season long, and this was a new one.  Joe said, “He said I’m jealous of Danielle because you have no body and no tits.” “Yeah, I said that. And I’m gonna say that,” Marty fired back as Margaret got ready to unleash holy hell.  “What man would say that about somebody else’s wife?” Margaret shrieked, as Marty countered that he was “promoting the beauty” of his wife.  “By insulting another woman?” Margaret quizzed. Joe was done listening to his wife being belittled and got close to hitting Marty.  “If you talk down to my wife…” Joe yelled. “If you touch me one more f–king time…” Marty fired back. “I’m willing to go after you right f–king now,” Joe said, clearly getting ready for a fight. . “When you go home tonight, she’s gonna bitch slap you!” Mary snarled. He then turned to Margaret and said, “You emasculate him every chance you…” In a truly hilarious moment, Joe and Margaret grabbed Marty and threw him into the pool.  That’s one way to shut someone up, we guess.  “Your husband’s in the pool,” said Margaret, walking off with Benigno, to Danielle. “Who threw my husband in the pool?” Danielle asked. “Me and my husband,” said Margaret. The rest of the episode paled in comparison.  What did you think of the season finale? The wild reunion kicks off Wednesday.  View Slideshow: Danielle Staub: Accused of Financial, Verbal AND Emotional Abuse … by Her Own Husband!

Amber Portwood: THIS is Why I Wanted to Quit Teen Mom!

It’s the question all Teen Mom OG fans have been asking, ever since this beloved franchise wrapped up its latest season? Is she or isn’t she? Is Amber Portwood actually quitting the series that made her famous… or did she just made a few emotional remarks in the heat of some angry moments? Portwood has been through nearly as much as any reality star we can think of. She broke our hearts this past season when she told her cousin that post-partum depression in the wake of giving birth to son James caused her to contemplate suicide . And to almost go through with it one time last year. “There was a night that I was waiting for him and James to go to bed so I could kill myself,” Amber said on air. Thankfully, James realized something was wrong and would not leave his girlfriend’s side that evening. Fast forward a few months and Portwood made many comments about being done with Teen Mom. “I think I should separate myself from the show,” she told an executive producer at one point, adding: “I just don’t feel like this is right for my life anymore, seeing that you guys want a certain kind of story that I just don’t want to give you anymore. I just feel like it’s very different from a reality show anymore.” Sick of the criticism and sick of the way she was being portrayed, Portwood showed up late for the reunion taping and lashed out on Twitter late last year. “The heartache this show has put me through is too much to bear anymore,” she wrote. “If I will not be shown then there’s nothing more to do. My name will not get smeared anymore. I hope everyone is resting easy with the money they’ve made off of heartache and pain that I’ve endured.” View Slideshow: Amber Portwood: Officially Out of Teen Mom OG?! It sounded like she was done, but Portwood then clarified her stance in an interview with E! this week. “I’ve been with this franchise for 10 years now, such a long time, and I just don’t want to see the show go down like that,” Amber said, confirming she WILL reutn next year and try to help boot the sagging ratings . “I wanna amp it up a little more.” Good. We’re glad to hear it. We very much want to see where Amber’s story goes. As for why she threatened to quit? Why she felt as if the show had been so unfair to her and made her feel so horrible about herself? “It seemed that at the time I wasn’t getting the attention that I feel like other stars were getting,” she said as a guest on E!’s Daily Pop, elaborting: “But I was going to a psychiatrist and I had a really good support system, great family.” And, best of all, it sounds as if Portwood is in a very positive place right now. “I’m feeling amazing,” she added in this same intervew. “I’ve really changed for the better going through that… I never felt anything like that before in my life. It came out of nowhere and it scared the crap out of me, honestly.” Amber concludes that she wants to stick around as a Teen Mom not simply due to her salary or the fame that goes along with it. Referring to Depression and other mental health struggles, she told E! that the MTC series gives her a platform to “help people with what I’ve been through.” Looking ahead, she really thinks the darkest days are over. On the new season, which won’t air for many months, Portwood teases that viewers will “see a whole different side of me and my love, Andrew [Glennon].” Yay. That makes us very happy.

Kailyn Lowry: Surprise! I’m Having a Baby Girl!

Even the most casual Teen Mom fans know that Kailyn Lowry has three sons, right? She's kind of made into a thing — “mom of boys,” you know. In the past, she's made it clear that even though she already has three children, she does want to have more. But goodness gracious, we didn't think it would be like this … 1. The Family OK, so Kailyn has three sons: Isaac, Lincoln, and Lux. 2. First She had Isaac with high school boyfriend Jo Rivera, and although they had a messy breakup all those years ago, they’re on relatively good terms these days. 3. Second Then she met and married Javi Marroquin. They had Lincoln, but then everything sort of fell apart, and they got divorced. They go back and forth, but as far as we know, they’re not each other’s biggest fans at the moment. 4. Third And then, sometime around the finalization of her divorce with Javi, she hooked up with college friend Chris Lopez. They had Lux, and … well, their relationship has pretty much always been a huge mess. 5. Too Much So it sounds like she’s definitely got her hands full, right? 6. Going It Alone(ish) She’s not close with her family at all, so there’s no help there, and she’s got different custody schedules for each kid. View Slideshow

Larissa Lima: Colt’s Cheating Was Worse Than Anyone Knows!

Paola Mayfield Confesses: Adjusting to Motherhood Has Been So Hard …

Last week, beloved 90 Day Fiance star Paola Mayfield revealed that she’d filmed a sex tape … but assured fans they’ll never see it. She prefers to show fans a different side of herself. Right now, that’s her role as a mother. Along with a new photo of her adorable baby, Paola is giving fans insight into what her life is like these days. Look at how adorable little Axel Mayfield is! He’s about a month and a half old, which is easy to remember because he was born on the first day of this year. “Hi, IG family,” Paola begins her caption beside the precious mother-son photo. “First, I want to thank you all for your kind messages,” she writes. She thanks fans “for the love my little family gets from you and for all your support.” “I’m really happy to be able to share my journey,” Paola expresses. “Including my ups and downs and my crazy moments.” “Things that I’m proud of and things that I’m not so proud of,” she continues. “And now my precious angel Axel.” “You guys know that I’m now working from home, and that I’m focused on taking care of my little baby,” Pao affirms. “But for me not being able to work is stressful,” she admits. Some people don’t know how to work. Others don’t know how to not work. Both of those folks need to find a balance. “I’m grateful that I was able to launch my fitness website with programs that I worked hard on to develop,” Paola writes. She adds: “As well as promoting brands that I trust and enjoy” “I get asked to promote a lot of brands,” the fitness model shares. “But I don’t always choose to work with them.” “I only like to promote things that I personally like,” she explains. “And that will be beneficial for some of you and to also enjoy!” There has been a lot of discussion in recent months about the responsibility that celebrities have when it comes to product endorsements. It’s good that Paola approaches the topic with careful consideration. Paola has been out of the direct spotlight on 90 Day Fiance in recent months. We imagine that some viewers will be thrilled to learn that she is now the mother of a happy, healthy baby. Last year, she revealed that she and Russ had suffered a miscarriage. This means that little Axel is the couple’s rainbow baby, and not the only one ont he 90 Day Fiance franchise. Though Pao’s life is going very well these days, she has found herself caught up in a whirlwind of drama through no fault of her own. Ashley Martson and Jay Smith’s fake “leaks” scandal has turned the 90 Day Fiance fandom upside down. The Season 6 couple, who also filmed for 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After? , had appeared to be the victims of a series of leaked photos. As it turned out, however, Ashley and Jay had orchestrated some of those leaks themselves. Paola herself was shocked and appalled, feeling lied to and betrayed. She very publicly took to Instagram to express her absolute dismay. Paola explained that she had felt sorry for Ashley, and had promoted her Instagram in her own Stories out of sympathy. Fortunately, Pao’s life is mostly just about one thing these days: Axel. It’s very correct that she and Russ are spending their time on their primary responsibility instead of creating drama. Anfisa Arkhipchenko did try to shade the Mayfields, referring to them as TLC’s “b–ches” for doing the job without demanding higher pay. But since Anfisa is no longer on the show (citing the admittedly dismal payouts) and Jorge Nava is behind bars, that drama only goes so far.

Khloe Kardashian Hasn’t Seen Tristan Thompson In a Month! [Report]

When the world first learned that Tristan Thompson had been caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian , it was widely assumed that she would promptly kick his philandering ass to the curb. After all, Khloe has long enjoyed a reputation as the most headstrong Kardashian, and she’s typically not one to broker any BS, particularly from the men she dates. But to the surprise of millions who admire Khloe for her boldness, the 34-year-old decided to give Tristan a second chance. And for a while there, it looked as though the relationship might actually work. Tristan moved to LA during the NBA offseason so that he could be closer to Khloe and baby True. And throughout that time, Khloe regularly posted “happy family” photos in which she and Tristan could be seen smiling alongside their bundle of joy. But once Tristan returned to Cleveland to rejoin the Cavs, things seemed to change abruptly. These days, Tristan makes very few appearances on Khloe’s Instagram page, and insiders say there’s good reason for that. According to a new report from People magazine, Khloe “rarely talks about” Tristan these days, and it doesn’t seem especially concerned with what — or who — he might be doing. “Khloe and True are happy in Los Angeles. They spend very little time in Cleveland, where Tristan is,” a source tells the magazine. “She very much acts like a single mom.” Yes, it sounds as though Khloe hasn’t officially pulled the plug on her relationship — but she’s no longer actively dating Tristan. Fortunately, it also seems that she’s not terribly upset about the situation. Insiders say Khloe tried to make the relationship work primarily for her daughter’s sake. These days, however, True is her whole world, and she’s perfectly happy devoting all of her time to attending to the 1-year-old’s needs. “Her whole life is True,” the source says.  “Khloé is a great mom. It’s so obvious how much she loves being a mom,” the insider adds. “She likes that True is a bit older now — they attend classes with other babies True’s age and Khloé is making sure she has friends.” Amazingly, it seems like this situation may have worked out well for everyone involved. Khloe got the baby she always wanted; Tristan gets to be a part of his daughter’s life while still partying with groupies every night — and True doesn’t have to deal with constant bickering from parents who stayed together for her sake.

90 Day Fiance’s Anfisa Nava Shares Body Transformation Photos!

90 Day Fiance star Anfisa Nava is ready for the next chapter of her life.  One that is much more challenging and physically demanding than finding her love at first ‘like’ .  After finding her match made in heaven  TLC, Anfisa needed another project to focus on, so she is shifting to bodybuilding.  On Monday, February 11 she took to Instagram to share an overblown before and after body transformation photo, and she definitely took an impressive turn.  According to Us Weekly , she started by sharing a slide of her thong-clad butt in front of the camera inviting fans to scroll through her transformation.  The second pic shared a full-length photo of her body in a one-piece teal bathing suit next to a current photo of her in a teal bikini. “Which do you prefer,” she asked her followers, “before or after?” And while the before photo shows an also sexy Anfisa, which was taken just a year ago after she moved to the US from Russia, the after picture shows her noticeably slimmer and extremely muscular.  Fans have been following her weight loss ride since December 2018 when the Moscow native first shared photos of her “toned arms and legs and six-pack abs,” according to US .  She announced on Instagram that her weight loss was actually coming from her strength-training hobby.  The reality star became interested in fitness after husband, Jorge Nava, was sentenced to two and a half years in prison after being caught with 293 pounds of marijuana. ( what?)   “To fill the void that I felt after Jorge was sentenced and I was left on my own I decided to try to stay busy and do what I enjoy the most and it was working out,” she explained via social media.    “And ONE DAY I want to take it on a higher level and compete in NPC bikini division.” Telling from her already successful journey it seems as though her fantasy could easily become her reality.  There aren’t many of Anfisa’s before photos on her Instagram according to US , because as she noted in February, she doesn’t like to post “unflattering photos” from her so-called “thic” times. And I’m sure most of the world can agree that her “thic” times are far from unflattering. But at least we know she isn’t leaning on photoshop to falsely create her desired figure.  The 90 Day Fiance alum strives to show that muscles, in fact, are feminine.  And to all the people who say “lifting makes you look manly.” She fights back by sharing a lacy lingerie photo where she captioned it: “k.” The gym enthusiast also partners with detox tea company, Teami, which she claims was the cure to her bloating and even helped construct her six-pack.  “I’ve found a new passion for working out and eating healthy,” she wrote on December 2018 while showing off her abs and advertising the healthful tea.  Like most Insta famous users, Anfisa has had her share of online trolls. But she wasn’t scared to confront them by saying “it feels frustrating when some of you try to knock me down for doing what I love and enjoy.”  “So if you don’t want to see anything other than #90DayFiance related stuff and you want to keep commenting nasty things under my pictures, please unfollow me and move on.” The gym guru is not messing around and she’s got the muscles to back up her voice.  Along with a small waist? Anfisa revealed that she never tells people what she eats and when asked what diet helped her to lose weight, she responded with a very practical response. Recommending her fans to take an at-home blood test to determine which foods your body is intolerant to.  But, she does share a few secrets.  Side salad and juice is always on her menu, as she showed in her August 9 Instagram photo. She’s also shared that she uses the HelloFresh meal delivery service.  Along with eating salads, two of her favorite exercise routines include yoga and weight-lifting.  Not only has Anfisa transformed her body image through her passion for fitness, but she has also created a new healthy lifestyle.  And it looks as though she is truly living her best life. With or without Jorge Nava .  View Slideshow: Ashley Martson Speaks on 90 Day Fiance Fraud Scandal, Begs Fans’ Forgiveness For Bogus “Leaks” [UPDATED]
