Amanda Bynes: Friends Fear She Will DIE in Rehab

About two weeks ago, it was reported that Amanda Bynes was back in rehab following an unfortunate relapse. Fans had been so happy seeing the once-troubled star retake control of her life. Now, things may be worse than ever. Those who know her best worry that she is once again on the fast track to an early grave. RadarOnline reports that Amanda Bynes’ loved ones are afraid that her latest relapse may be her last — in the worst possible sense. “Amanda has put her body through so much,” the insider observes. Years ago, Amanda’s troubled behavior was coupled with extensive substancea buse. According to the source: “Everyone is terrified this latest slip-up may kill her!” For a number of complicated reasons, a relapse can be more dangerous than the original pattern of substance abuse. In a recently published interview, Amanda opened up about how early she began using drugs. Despite her innocent reputation as a Nickelodeon star, Amanda first dabbled in drugs when she was 16. “Even though everyone thought I was the ‘good girl,’” Amanda revealed. “I did smoke marijuana.” Marijuana is not generally a big deal — though it can be dangerous for those at risk for schizophrenia.  But Amanda added: “Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy.” In 2013, Amanda went into rehab and vanished from the public eye for years. After her quiet return, however, she reportedly began a more recent stint in rehab. “Amanda can’t seem to handle the media spotlight,” an insider explained. “But,” the source said. “She can’t continue to abuse herself like this.” “She won’t survive it,” the insider solemnly predicted. “I’m really ashamed and embarrassed with the things I said,” Amanda said in her recent interview. Her I want Drake to murder my vagina tweet may have become a meme, but she never would have tweeted it if she’d been in her right mind. “I can’t turn back time but if I could, I would,” Amanda expressed. “And I’m so sorry to whoever I hurt,” she added. “And whoever I lied about because it truly eats away at me.” That is so heartbreaking. She truly was not in full control of her actions for that period of time in her life, but she feels such guilt over her behavior at that time. Amanda once had a promising acting career, but she did not waste her time out of the spotlight. She enrolled in school in late 2013. by 2018, Amanda had earned an Associate’s Degree in Merchandise Product Development. This is a woman determined to turn her life around, and spending four years sober was only part of that. We all hope that Amanda makes a full recovery from whatever is troubling her now, whether it’s truly a relapse or something else. (Rehab isn’t always for drugs, folks — and that is even true for addicts) She has brought so much joy to so many people. She has so much more to offer the world and we wish her the very best.

Javi Marroquin: We’re Gonna Have Another Baby!

As previously reported,  Javi Marroquin is done being a douche . And he’s now ready to be a father! AGAIN! The former Teen Mom 2 cast member is already a dad to five-year old Lincoln, who he shares with ex-wife Kailyn Lowry. He also welcomed a precious son named Eli back in November with very serious girlfriend Lauren Comeau. And even though that was mere months ago, and even though raising these two young kids at the same time must present quite the challenge… Javi says he’s up for more. Challenges? Sure. But challenges in the form of more children we mean! “I’m ready when she’s ready,” Javi told OK! Magazine this week about expanding his immediate family, prior to adding of Lauren: “But she’s not ready.” Well, no. She only just squeezed a human being out of her body this past November! Give her a little bit of time, dude! Why the desire for another child? Marroquin, for all the issues he may have had a a romantic partner for Lowry, has already seemed like a great and dedicated father. Just check out his Instagram page. It is overflowing with cute pictures of him and Lincoln; and, more recently, of him and Eli. But Javi also says here that there’s another reason he hopes Comeau’s egg gets fertilized by his sperm in the semi-near future. “We are still trying for that girl! We want that girl,” he admitted. Just a couple years ago, we would have shuddered at the thought of Marroquin procreating once again. He and Kailyn were constantly fighting and drama followed the MTV personality around everywhere he went. However, Briana DeJesus – who briefly dated Javi before he got together with Comeau about a year ago – actually revealed an interesting and almost flattering truth when she recently said no one cares about Marroquin anymore . That’s sort of true… … but it’s because he really does seem to have cleaned up his act and has stayed away from the spotlight of late. He truly seems content to just spend time with Comeau and his sons and to focus on the crossfit facility he recently opened up in Delaware. How boring, right? And admirable. Do Marroquin and Comeau have a time table for trying to get pregnant again? When might they make major news once more? “Eli is a handful for now, we will take our time. I think we said next year, we’ll try next year,” Javi says in this interview. Prior to this blessed event taking place, though, it sounds like we’ll see Comeau on Teen Mom 2 , which ought to be interesting for viewers. Javi and Lauren met at a wedding in July of 2017 and then broke up in September of that year. Javi made many headlines in the subsequent months for sleeping with both Briana and Kailyn, only to find himself back in the arms of Comeau in March of 2018. “Sometimes, two people have to fall apart to realize how much they need to fall back together,” she wrote on Instagram shortly afterward. Pretty sweet, right? We wish these two the very best with their future baby plans — and their current baby raising.

Jill Duggar: Why Is She Hated By Counting On Fans?

At first glance, Jill Duggar appears to be about as completely innocent and innocuous as any human being can be. Jill is a young mother of two with a husband in law school. She used to make big bucks as a reality star, but these days, she’s a stay-at-home mom who occasionally supplements her family’s income by working as a midwife . But as with just about everything involving the Duggar family, there’s more to Jill than meets the eye. And a lot of what’s just beneath the surface is the sort of stuff that the Duggars would probably prefer to keep out of the spotlight. Jill is one of the least well-liked members of the Duggar family. You may have had the experience of wandering into the comments section on one of Jill’s Instagram posts and wondering why she’s so widely despised. As it happens, there’s no one answer to that question. The biggest problem for many fans is that Jill stuck by her husband after he was kicked off of the family’s reality show. Derick was fired from Counting On for launching a transphobic tirade against fellow network star Jazz Jennings. Jill not only refused to speak out against her husband’s bigotry, she also quit the show as a gesture of solidarity, leaving her family with no visible means of support. It’s not hard to see why many fans may have been chagrined by that decision. But it’s certainly not the only reason that so many fans are so unforgiving of Jill. Many fans take issue with Jill’s method of homeschooling her children. These people point out that the mother of two continues to rely on materials provided by the Institute for Basic Life Principles. The curriculum has been heavily criticized in the past for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that children are taught that sexual assault victims are often to blame for their perpetrators’ crimes. This is an especially disturbing teaching in the Duggar family, which has been beset by numerous sex scandals . Others who criticize Jill’s parenting focus on what they say is the lack of proper nutrition in her household. Jill is famously averse to including vegetables in the meals she prepares. Incidents such as the time she and her kids walked several miles to a Chick-Fil-A location highlight the importance of junk food in her children’s lives. Jill has also been criticized for her housekeeping, and in the past, she has not shied away from sharing photos of her “messy” home on social media. It’s possible that fans are right to be concerned about Jill’s parenting methods and belief system. But it’s just as possible that this is just a case of too much social media scrutiny combined with a widespread bias against her family. We’ll leave it up to you to decide if Jill is as bad as her harshest critics claim. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar & Derick Dillard: Here’s Why Fans Think They’re Getting Divorced

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro on Jen Harley: She’s Out of Control!

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro has many things to worry about these days beyond gym, tanning and laundry. The veteran Jersey Shore personality is instead concerned with personal responsibility, strong mental health and, above all, the well-being of his 10-month old daughter. This is what Ronnie has emphasized in his recent interview with Us Weekly, excerpts from which have been released often over the past few days. First, the reality star revealed that he just got out of rehab, having checked in to a facility for assistance with Depression and a dependence on alcohol. “I decided to go to treatment because I wanted to be a better person, a better father for my daughter,” the 33-year-old told this tabloid, explaining further: “Eventually, all the bad decisions I was making were going to lead me to places that I didn’t want to be. “I wanted to be led to the place that I am now — that’s happy, healthy and the best role model for my daughter.” Pretty admirable, right? Click below to read more from Ronnie about this decision: View Slideshow: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Reveals Rehab Stint, Admits Hitting Rock Bottom While Ronnie has prided himself on toughness and strengthy over his years in the spotlight, he admitted in this chat that his mental health problems simply became too much to bear on his own. The guy needed help — and he realized as much toward the end of filming on Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Season 2. “I just had to surrender and say, ‘I don’t have control over this.’ I don’t know who I am anymore. I don’t know what to do,” Ronnie said about how far he had recently fallen. One subject Ronnie has not talked about, however? Until now at least? His effed up relationship with Jen Harley. The two are parents to an adorable little girl named Ariana… but have viciously gone at it ever since she was born. There have been social media meltdowns, arrests and physical altercations as recently as New Year’s Eve. Where does the romance stand right now? Can Ronnie say he’s officially and fully done with the woman who allegedly hurled a glass ashtray at his face in December ? Nope. “She’s always going to be the mother of my child, at the end of the day,” Ronnie says , avoiding the question of whether they’re a couple right now and adding: “All I can do is control myself. I can’t control her, I can’t control my daughter. Well, for right now I can, but not when she gets older.” Well, sure. Of course Ronnie can’t literally control Harley. But he can control whether he keeps going back to her or not — and it certainly appears as if the two are not right for each other. If Ronnie were to truly commit to a non-romance, perhaps the tension would cease and he and Jen could find a way to peacefully co-exist as the co-parents of adorable Ariana. What about therapy or rehab for Harley? Would Ronnie suggest that to his tempermental, occasional partner? It sounds that way. But it’s not something Ortiz-Magro will say directly. “I hope that it encourages a lot of people, whether it’s her or people in my family, or my friends,” he tells Us Weekly of his decision, concluding for now: “I don’t want to be this person that’s this angry and resentful and just has so many regrets. “I want to be that positive person that people want to be around – joking, laughing and just having a good time and enjoying life.”

Chelsea Houska: Another Kid is on the Way!

Chelsea Houska just gave birth on the most recent episode of Teen Mom 2. Viewers witnessed nearly every step of the labor and delivery on screen. Despite having only recently welcomed her third child into the world, however, this veteran realty star isn’t satisfied. She’s ready for more, folks… only maybe not quite so soon this time around. “We definitely want more kids – at least one – but I think we’re going to wait probably a little farther than the last two babies,” Houska tells E! News in an extensive interview about her children and husband. “Maybe when she’s two, we’ll start thinking about it,” she said of new addition Layne. “But there will be more.” The Teen Mom 2 cast member’s oldest child, Aubree, is nine; and her middle kid, Watson, just turned two a few weeks ago. He was just barely a year and a half old when Layne was born, meaning things must be pretty darn hectic inside the Houska/De Boer household in a daily basis, Chelsea confirms as much, but also says that Aubree is old enough to almost serve as a third parent. “Oh my gosh! I honestly think that she makes life so much easier,” says the MTV star. “Having Aubree’s help has been amazing. She loves helping. She plays with her brother when I need her to. She can get his little boots on or something when we’re heading out the door so she’s been amazing.” And don’t get Chelsea started on Cole. Not unless you want to hear a wife just gush and gush and gush and gush over her husband, that is, as Houska has often done in the past . “I mean, Cole is just great all around,” she told E! of her man, just hours after viewers watched Cole be as supportive as can be while he wife pushed through child birth. “I’m more of the laid-back parent and he’s definitely more paranoid and worried all the time, which is funny because it’s usually the mom but I mean, he’s so helpful,” she adds. “He changes diapers. He gets in there. He does it all.” Not everything in Chelsea and Cole’s life is perfect, however, frequent appearances and quotes such as these notwithstanding. Going forward this season, Teen Mom 2 fans will see Chelsea adjust to having three young kids under one roof. We’ll also watch as she faces some major bumps in the road with Aubree’s biological dad, that troublemaker Adam Lind. “I definitely have my own opinion and my own opinion on things, but I have to try my best not to put my feelings out on her,” Chelsea saysc carefully about how little time Adam spends with his daughter. In very diplomatic fashion, she adds: “He’s still her dad. She still has her own feelings about it so I kind of have to keep my feelings to myself and let her have her own little opinion. “I’m proud of her for being so mature, but it’s not even something a kid should have to deal with. “But I think that we’ve always been so open with her and let her accept her feelings and try to explain things to her as best as we can.” Issues surrounding Lind and his inability to co-parent have persisted for as long as Chelsea has been in the spotlight. As we examine down below, it has raised a pressing question among Teen Mom fans: Should Cole just adopt Aubree? Let’s explore… View Slideshow: Adam Lind Lets Aubree Down Yet Again: Should Cole Adopt Her?!

Larissa Lima Served With Divorce Papers, Accused of Buying Followers

The day after their final, explosive fight, Colt Johnson filed to divorce Larissa Lima . Now, the divorce has taken an important next step. The toxic pair of 90 Day Fiance villains are now taking shots at each other on social media. But that doesn’t changed that Larissa has been served with papers. What’s next? According to The Blast , Colt isn’t wasting any time when it comes to ending things with Larissa. As we previously reported, he filed for divorce on January 11, the day after his scary fight with Larissa that left her face smeared in blood. Now we are learning that he has already hired a process server. That server has apparently tracked down Larissa and served her with divorce papers. It wasn’t so long ago that the head of 90 Day Fiance ‘s production company was boasting about how few divorces the series sees. Clearly, Season 6 has changed those statistics. In the mean time, internet sleuths think that they know that Larissa is doing with her funds. As you may recall,  Larissa created a GoFundMe  after her violent split from Colt. She is not yet legally allowed to work in the United States, so without Colt, she was penniless in a foreign city. Fans sent her over $5,000, and Larissa said that this would go towards legal fees and supporting herself. Some havea ccused her of partying with the donated cash, though she says that she has done no such thing. Now, internet sleuths believe that Larissa has put some of that money towards purchasing Instagram followers. She does, at present, have nearly 200,000 Instagram followers. In the mean time, Colt appears to be keeping an eye on internet rumors. On his Instagram page, which has under 40,000 followers, Colt shared this awkward photo of him shrugging. In the unbelievable caption, he appears to refer to both the follower-buying rumors and to his own debilitatingly expensive porn habit. “Was thinking about buying some followers,” Coltee captions. “But porn isn’t gonna pay for itself.” We’re not making this up. Here is a screenshot of his captions: 90 Day Fiance fans will recall that the couple’s January 10 fight was sparked by Colt’s spending habits. Larissa shared with fans and followers evidence that Colt had purchased porn. He not only pays for porn, but it appears that he spent sixty entire dollars on a single video. (We should note that a woman claiming to be Colt’s ex claimed last year that he is a sex addict) While we have no issue with paying sex workers for their labor, Colt doesn’t have air conditioning in his car — and he lives in Vegas. It seems clear that his priorities are out of whack. Clearly, he feels comfortable poking fun at himself for this instead of seeking help for what sounds like a tremendously expensive habit. On Larissa’s side of things, she is shading Colt through the use of a classic but still very good meme. A fan asked Larissa on instagram: “Do you miss Colt? … Honestly?” Larissa channeled Mariah Carey herself for her answer. “I don’t know him,” the tweaked text of the classic I don’t know her meme reads. Famously, this meme has been used to insult people by suggesting that they are beneath notice. Is Larissa buying followers? No offense to the cyber-sleuths on Reddit, but we’re not so sure. Larissa is a hot mess, and people like to follow hot messes. She has also, more than once, made her Instagram page private — which is an effective tactic to strong-arm people into following her if they want updates. Finally, though Larissa was perhaps the most talked-about star on Season 6, she doesn’t even have the most followers. Just look at Fernanda, who has over 300,000 followers on Instagram. (It’s no mystery why people follow Fernanda — she is stunningly, almost shockingly, beautiful) Our advice to Larissa is to focus her efforts on her divorce and on not getting deported . If her friend Carmen was telling the truth, that Larissa has sent her photos of injuries inflicted by Colt, those could help her. (If you come to the US on a K-1 visa but are abused, you can avoid deportation upon divorce; this is to keep abusers from using deportation as leverage) Larissa’s three arrests are not going to work in her favor. Our advice to Colt is to maybe seek help about his expensive porn habit and about whatever personality factors “compelled” him to cheat last year. Whatever you think of Larissa or of Colt, they do not belong together. View Slideshow: Larissa Lima Shares Shocking Photos of Bloody Fight With Colt Johnson; 90 Day Fiance Star Arrested [BREAKING]

Mery Perello: Engaged to Rafael Nadal!

Good news from the world of sports and romance! Professional tennis player Rafael Nadal is now engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Mery Francisca “Xisca” Perello. After 14 years, this is a long time coming. Rafael confessed to  HOLA!  magazine in a story that was published on Wednesday, January 30. The 32-year-old athlete proposed to his lady love during a romantic trip to Italy. While the classic proposal venue is no surprise, the timing is. That sexy vacation took place in May of 2018. The couple managed to keep this happy news under lock and key for eight entire months. Rafael and Xisca have already scheduled their wedding. They plan to tie the knot this fall. We do not yet know the exact venue, but we at least know the location. The nuptials will take place on the Spanish island of Mallorca. (The island’s name is sometimes spelled Majorca, in case you recognize it from that spelling. And yes, it was mentioned in  Harry Potter ) We cannot imagine how difficult it was for the two of them to keep that secret for eight entire months. But their relationship in general has never been a secret. In fact, Rafael had previously opened up to  Hello! , the sister publication of  HOLA! , about their future plans. At the time, he discussed children. “Obviously,” Rafael said. “I have the intention of forming a family.” “I love children,” he affirmed. “And I would like my children to do what they like.” Not everyone who once intended to form a family goes on to do so. Life is expensive, and children are even more so. But Rafael is the No. 2 tennis player on the entire planet. His net worth is somewhere in the ballpark (or tennis court, if you will) of $180 million dollars. He can afford to support a family. Congratulations are in order to Rafael and especially to Xisca. They’ve been together since they were teens. The moment that the news broke on Wednesday, Rafael’s fans took to Twitter to offer their regards. “Congratulations @RafaelNadal!!!” gushes one fan. “It makes us very happy to take this step with Xisca.” Xisca is well known to Rafael’s fans, of course — in part because she has been his fan for so much longer. “Thank you for teaching us the good things in life,” the fan continues. “Bless you.” That is such a positive, affirming message! “@RafaelNadal congrats to your engagement with Xisca finally!!” another fan raves. (Please don’t write finally about this kind of thing; it’s not your business) “Your lives will be even better and happier together for sure!!” the fan concludes. We extend our congratulations and wish Rafael and Xisca the best of luck! Not everyone makes it to the altar, unfortunately. View Slideshow: 13 Famous Couples Whose Engagements Were a Flop
