Peggy Tanous, who has been open about her battle with postpartum depression and thoughts of suicide, is no longer a Real Housewife of Orange County. In a Facebook posting today, the reality star resigned from the Bravo franchise. “After months of negotiation and soul searching, I have declined their offer to return to the show,” Peggy writes. “I just felt in my heart that being around the negative energy of certain cast members, being forced to have ‘dramatic’ confrontations and the time it would take me away from my family was just not a healthy path for me.” That’s about as honest an answer as Tanous could provide, especially the part about how Bravo scripts “dramatic” confrontations. In other franchise news, the network swears no cast member is leaving The Real Housewives of New Jersey . But you’ll forgive us if we don’t exactly believe anything at all about these supposedly Real programs. [Photo: WENN.com]
Oh, Teen Mom girls. You never cease to amuse … or provide tabloid fodder. Amber Portwood swore she’d learned a lesson after spending time in jail and rehab. You’d think Jenelle Evans would have learned something from pummeling Britany Truett . Farrah Abraham? She’s just trying to “find herself,” don’cha know. One thing they all have in common? Giving up their babies to PAR-TAY!!! Amber’s brother, Shawn Portwood, says that despite her issues, Amber is spending more time out partying than she is reconnecting with her daughter, Leah, 2. “At least three times a week, Amber will go out to bars and clubs,” Shawn says. Amber Portwood was spotted at the 59th Street Pub last month drinking wine, then another time, downing beers at Jimbo’s Pub and Club in Anderson, Ind. “My friends were there [at the 59th Street Pub] and said she drank damn near a whole bottle of white wine,” Anderson local Shane Butt reveals to Life & Style . Yes, they named their source, and his name is Shane Butt. Fantastic. “It seems like rehab didn’t help too much,” adds Butt, helpfully. “Amber could see Leah every day, but she sees her maybe three times a week,” laments Shawn. “I don’t even know if Amber wants full custody of Leah.” “She enjoys her freedom too much right now.” One of her co-stars can relate. Farrah Abraham peaced out on her mom and daughter in the third season finale. Because she had to go to school in Florida. At least Farrah has avoided the pitfalls of some of the other train wrecks. Jenelle Evans lost custody of her son to her mom ages ago, and for good reason. Jenelle has always been one to drink and fight, rather than stay close to Jace at night. She’s probably going to end up in jail again soon. Just give it time. Jenelle Evans Beating Up Girl

At any other given time, no one would think a thing about Will Smith giving up an apartment in a city that he doesn’t live in. But being that we’re still not quite sure what’s good with him and Jada and they’re efforts to try to convince us that everything is still great aren’t really that convincing, the sale of this SOHO apartment is making folks ask questions. But really, it’s just because he’s done filming Men In Black 3. The actor, musician and producer snagged the rental in 2010 after a lengthy search in the Big Apple for the perfect temporary digs. According to an article in the New York Post last year, Smith reportedly hired one woman who flew to the East Coast to view one apartment before heading back to the West Coast a few hours later. Why the in-depth search? Smith was looking for not only a private and luxurious New York apartment, but one with room for his family and wife Jada Pinkett-Smith. The place at 25 Bond Street clearly fits the bill. One of only eight apartments in the building, the nearly $20 million home has over 7,300 square feet of living space, five bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. Smith paid a reported $55,000 a month in rent, which is one of the reasons to choose to rent rather than buy in this area. The monthly payment for this home, even with 20 percent down and low mortgage rates, is $84,302 with a 30-year-fixed loan. It’s no secret that New York real estate is expensive; in the NoHo neighborhood, median home values hit at $745,000, according to data from Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.

My Bieber fever all started back in September of 2009. I heard him on the radio and was determined to see him in person. In December 2009, my friend (@jasminemusicvip) had just won Radio Disney’s Next Big Thing. One of the prizes was to open up for Justin Bieber twice in concert. So fast forward to December 19th, 2009. It was the day Jasmine was opening for Justin. The concert started and right after her set, I got to go backstage. I knew Justin was close by and I started FREAKING out. I was so nervous. All of the sudden I see him standing with his arms crossed. A few minutes later, we all made two rows so Justin could walk through. He literally walked RIGHT past me. He opened with “Love Me” and that was one of the best performances I’ve seen. That next year I ended up seeing Justin twice on his My World Tour on August 11th 2010 & November 10th 2010. If you’ve never seen him live, let me tell you, HE PUTS ON THE BEST SHOW. I had the most fun at those concerts. I ended up meeting Ryan Good, Legaci, Michael Vargas, Nick DeMoura, and Dan Kanter that year. On June 8th 2011, I got to see Justin once again. He was coming in town for the CMT Awards. Even though I was sitting really far away, I felt blessed to be in the same room as him and getting to see him win those awards. Now, SEPTEMBER 28TH, 2011. This is the story I really wanna talk about. That afternoon I logged onto Twitter. I had heard Justin was shooting a music video, but I didn’t think much about it. I went to @LordBieber’s page (Justin’s dad) and started reading some of his tweets. I scrolled down and then I saw this tweet, “Good Morning Nashville, its beautiful here.” My mouth DROPPED. I couldn’t believe Justin was BACK IN NASHVILLE shooting HIS music video for “Under The Mistletoe ”. For those of you who don’t know, Justin shot “One Less Lonely Girl” here as well. Anyways, I HAD to go. It took some convincing, but my dad finally agreed to take me and my friend Micaela. That night at around 8pm, I got to the set. There were already so many girls waiting to see Justin. After standing in the rain for awhile, I asked my dad to go see if he could find Justin’s bus. A few minutes later he calls and says, “I found it”. I started to get really excited! My friend and I went over to his bus and waited. Then I heard someone say, “He’s filming from 10pm – 5am”. I knew we had to get back to the set before then. We got to the bus and there were a TON of girls singing and shouting for the Biebs. It started getting late and I wanted to see Justin come out before they started filming, so we went back to the set. This time we went on the OTHER side of the street because Justin was filming there and they were setting up trees, snow, and anything “Christmasy”. Finally we found a spot to stand and wait for him to come out. A little while later, everyone started screaming and I knew it HAD to be because of Justin. I got on top of my dads back and looked over the crowd. Justin was walking with Kenny and being just a normal, crazy kid. He did some hand motion type thing, almost like a bow? Then they started filming scenes of him and this girl sitting at a table. During that time, I met Alfredo Flores. I was yelling with one of my other friends, “Alfredo! Fredo! Come over here!” and he did. I asked, “Can you follow me on Twitter?” and he said, “Yeah.. what is it?” I told him and he walked away. A little bit later, Kenny came over and she got him to follow her. I also saw Ryan Good, Allison, Vanessa, and we yelled to them, but only Ryan & Allison heard and waved back to us. Justin got up on a ladder and waved & blew kisses to all of us. He is SO sweet, you can really tell he appreciates all the support. He even posted a picture of all of us on Twitter. Justin is so funny, he started dougie-ing with Santa later on. It was already midnight and I had school the next day. I would have LOVED to stay later, but my dad was ready to go. I said bye to one of my other friends, and me and Micaela went home. That night was ONE OF THE BEST Bieber experiences I’ve had. It was really fun watching the making of “Under The Mistletoe” and I can’t wait for it to come out! I feel so lucky to have seen Justin as many times as I have. If you haven’t seen/met Justin yet, DON’T GIVE UP. Like he always says, Never Say Never. He means it. I’m not gonna give up on meeting him, because I know one day it will happen. ♥ – Dakota (@RunWithMeJB) Here are some videos I took last night: Kenny singing & Talking to Alfredo View original post here: My Bieber fever all started back in September of 2009.
