As we learned last week, Amber Portwood is pregnant with her second child. Fortunately, she's not expecting a child by Matt Baier, the notorious deadbeat whom she very nearly married earlier this year. Sadly, her new boyfriend, Andrew Glennon, has problems of his own. And by that we mean the guy is basically a walking red flag. We've told you about Glennon's sketchy past before, but the situation basically gets uglier with every new revelation. See what we mean in the gallery below: 1. Reality Producer Turned Reality Star Andrew is a producer on Marriage Boot Camp. He met Amber while she and Matt Baier were appearing on the show to work on their ailing relationship. 2. An Abuser of Power? Portwood and Glennon began their relationship immediately after Baier stormed off the MBC set. The timing has led many to question if Andrew abused his position of power and seduced Amber while she was still with Matt. 3. Matt Baier on Andrew Glennon: He’s Sketchy! One of the people who doubts Andrew’s sincerity and authenticity is Matt Baier. Obviously, Baier is a bit biased … but he’s also an expert on shady characters. 4. A Famous Family Unlike Baier, Glennon is gainfully employed. But he was also born with a consideradle leg up. He’s both the son AND grandson of famed Hollywood cinematographers. 5. In Other Words, He’s Loaded Which is probably part of the appeal for Amber. Unfortunately, those who know Andrew best have cautioned that Portwood is getting in way over her head… 6. A History of Crossing the Line Glennon has a history of engaging in threatening behavior with the women in his life. And the police have gotten involved on more than one occasion. View Slideshow
Ever since Farrah Abraham ranted about being fired from Teen Mom OG , the world has been wondering why it happened, how it happened, and if it happened. This is Farrah we’re talking about, folks. Only we’re now learning that Farrah isn’t just having issues with MTV. She’s apparently having issues with the porn company that employed her. So much so that Farrah is suing them for thousands of dollars that she says that they owe her. This is gonna be fun. You know in sitcoms or romantic comedies or whatever when there’s a male character who’s hooking up with two women and he knows that he has to choose … but waits too long and ends up losing them both? Well, that appears to be what happened with Farrah Abraham. But instead of losing two lovers , she maybe lost two different sources of income. Two jobs. Whatever happened with MTV — because there’s still a lot that’s unclear, especially after Farrah Abraham said that she wasn’t fired — Farrah appears to be in hot water. Allegedly, this is over her sex work. On the one hand, obviously, sex work is a valid form of employment and sex workers don’t deserve the kind of stigma that they receive. (Though it’s possible that sex workers don’t really want Farrah Abraham working as their champion, because of her … personality issues) On the other hand, if Farrah’s sex work is a clear violation of her contract with MTV, then that’s another matter. Plenty of jobs have exclusivity clauses — though reality stars tend to get money from multiple sources, capitalizing on their fame. Plenty of jobs have “morality” clauses, which tend to have less to do with actual right and wrong and more to do with things that they worry will make them look bad. Something like that could be at play, here. But questioning the grounds on which Farrah Abraham — the how of it all — might be less important than the why . Does MTV really get its garters in a twist over sex work? Farrah’s brand of sex work is completely legal. When Farrah Abraham strips down and masturbates on camera , the only “bad” thing about the livestream is that Farrah’s involved. Oh, and that the livestream might crash due to high demand. (Yes, really) The thing is that it sounds like the sex work, if it was even a real factor, might just be an excuse. A lot of people don’t like Farrah Abraham , and Farrah’s various Teen Mom costars may have banded together to get her booted off of the show. That sounds awfully believable, though we wish that the impetus were one of Farrah’s racist rants , which are actual bad things. If Farrah really is losing her Teen Mom job because of sex work, that’s extra bad, because things between her and CamSoda right now are … not good. RadarOnline reports that Farrah Abraham is suing CamSoda , the company for which she previously livestreamed. She is suing the company for $5,000, which Farrah says that they have wrongly withheld. Farrah’s legal team’s letter to the porn company contains details. “Ms. Abraham was to be paid a total of ten thousand dollars; half due within two business days of signing the Agreement, and the remainder due following the completion of the Session.” First of all, 10 grand is a lot more than most camgirls make, but most camgirls aren’t celebrities. “Ms. Abraham fulfilled her obligations under the contract, but despite this, CamSoda is willfully withholding the remaining $5,000 due under the Agreement, thereby constituting a material breach of contract.” According to the letter, CamSoda’s issue is that Farrah wasn’t wearing CamSoda merch … and said less than nice things about the company on social media. “[Abraham] did not disrobe during the session; and allegedly disparaged CamSoda on social media.” We can see how both of those wouldn’t sit right with CamSoda. “With respect to not disrobing, there is no requirement under the Agreement for Ms. Abraham to disrobe or be fully nude.” That’s a surprise. You might want to include that in writing next time, CamSoda. “To the contrary, the Agreement specifically states that ‘Performer shall interact with and respond to various users during the Session as Company and Performer may agree.’ Ms. Abraham complied with this obligation and it was CamSoda who unilaterally decided to cut the Session short.” So … Farrah started a livestream but didn’t get a chance to get into it, then the bosses cut things short, and then Farrah said some unkind things about the company — allegedly. That’s the issue, right? The letter goes on to say that CamSoda needs to cough up that 5 grand, or Farrah will seek damages and compensation for legal fees to the tune of $75,000. It sounds like two things are going on here. One, Farrah — like with MTV — voiced her criticism of a company employing her and didn’t except any consequences. Don’t do that, folks. Two, it sounds like CamSoda is having buyer’s remorse when it comes to Farrah. Our thoughts? Unless Farrah really did violate their agreement, it sounds like CamSoda might owe her a little cash. Maybe they should just pay her … and then not hire her again, now that they know what she’s like to work with. In the mean time, we’ll keep trying to figure out if she’s actually been fired from Teen Mom OG or if she’s just … being Farrah. View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: Was She Really Fired From Teen Mom OG? An Investigation
Amber Portwood has ended all doubt and speculation: The veteran Teen Mom star is pregnant with her second child. Strong talk of Portwood’s expecting state has been circulating around the Internet for days, but the MTV personality herself came out on Friday and confirmed the news. “Thank you everyone for all the kind words. I’m very excited for my future with Andrew and our little family we are starting together! Love,” Portwood Tweeted this evening. Indeed, Amber will be having either a boy or girl with Andrew Glennon. She met him while filming Marriage Boot Camp and the two have been dating for only three months or so. The brief dating history between Portwood and Glennon suggests this pregnancy was not planned , a possibility that Amber didn’t deny when speaking to Us Weekly about the bun in her oven. “When I first found out, I was a little scared,” the 27-year old told this tabloid, adding: “I just kind of sat down and thought about it and realized that it was a big step in my life and it was a good thing actually, and I was really happy within 30 minutes.” Portwood is already the mother to an eight-year old daughter named Leah. He shares custody with ex-fiance Gary Shirley. “After the initial shock, it was nothing but happy thoughts and just enjoying my time with my boyfriend,” Portwood added to Us , saying simply of she and Glennon: “We’re both very happy. After revealing the baby news on social media and in this interview, Portwood received a slew of well wishes from other Teen Mom stars. “CONGRATS AMB! We are so happy for you & can’t wait to meet that little baby,” Tweeted Tyler Baltierra, while added: “Congratulations babe. I love you and can’t wait to see you at Friendsgiving.” Portwood responded to these messages by writing the following: “Thank you hun! Love you guys always.” She also posted the sweet photo below, further hammering home the status of her womb: We don’t know when Amber is due. Nor do we know if she’s having a boy or a girl. However, if this pregnancy is anything like pregnancy by other members of the Teen Mom cast, we’ll be finding out the answers to all these questions and many more as the days, weeks and months go by. Expect Portwood to milk this news for all it’s worth. In the meantime, we’ll simply send her the best of wishes for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby son or daughter.

Earlier this week, we reported that Farrah Abraham has been fired from Teen Mom: OG after seven seasons as one of the stars of MTV's flagship reality series. The mother of one says she was let go as a result of her recent sex work, and indeed, the network was probably less than thrilled with Farrah masturbating on a live stream in front of thousands of viewers. But that was just one of many reasons that the controversial reality-star-tuned-porn-star might have been cut loose by MTV. Check out our full breakdown of the surprisingly complex feud between Mrs. Abraham and the network that made her famous: 1. Farrah Gets Fired On Tuesday, Farrah revealed that she’d been let go by MTV parent company Viacom. She blamed the decision on her recent sex work, writing on Instagram, “I act like an adult and part take in adult promotions and activities that other adults do for FREE or in private.” 2. Farrah’s Sexcapades Last month, Farrah launched a new business: She’s been starring in live-streamed sex shows in which she masturbates for a paying audience. She believes that her latest revenue stream caused her to get fired. 3. Farrah and Sex Work: A Long-Standing Partnership As many have pointed out, Farrah has been cashing in on sex work for several years. In the past, she’s worked as a porn star, a stripper, an erotic novelist, and even the “inspiration” for a line of sex toys. 4. So Why Now? Why would MTV decide to cut ties with one of its most popular stars when Farrah has been performing sex work for almost as long as she’s been famous? 5. There Are Rumors… Many believe that Farrah’s recent foray into the world of live sex streaming is just one of several reasons she got the axe from MTV. 6. That’s Where River Zain Ceballos Comes In River Zain Ceballos is an actor, model and activist who has worked with MTV in the past. He claims to have the low-down on the REAL reason Farrah was let go.

Bethenny Frankel is devoting pretty much all of her time this week to relief efforts for Houston and other areas devastated by Hurricane Harvey. She’s certainly not the only celebrity helping with the relief effort . We say “pretty much” all of her time, because Bethenny Frankel has also experienced what sounds like a major health scare. One serious enough that she’s reportedly undergoing screening … for cancer. The polarizing star of The Real Housewives of New York City has never held back an opinion, ever, in her life, and she’s taking her usual lack of chill and putting it towards a great cause: desperately needed hurricane relief. She’s raised at least $500,000 for those impacted in Corpus Christi and she’s making sure that much-needed resources, including clothing, go directly to women and their families in those areas hit hardest by the massively destructive storm. In the process, Bethenny showed her face, where you can clearly see that roughly circular bandage on one of her cheeks. It’s not subtle, folks. Among the comments (most thanking her for devoting her time and resources to such a good cause), some fans and followers expressed curiosity or concern over Bethenny’s bandage. And Bethenny answered. Bethenny explained in the comments that she had “had a growth removed.” That was instantly alarming to some people. One followers, however, asked if the growth was a reaction to face-fillers. “No. [Basal] cell. I don’t do fillers.” She had accidentally written “basil,” which sounds more delicious but less worrisome. Then, in classic Bethanny Frankel fashion, she makes sure that people don’t think that she’s being defensive or vain. “My jaw is the size of Pittsburgh. Nothing needs enhancement.” Basal cell carcinoma, of course, is the most common form of skin cancer. Did you know that as many as four million cases of basal cell carcinoma are diagnosed each year, just in the US? That’s more than 1% of the population. Every year. Pay attention to your moles and don’t neglect your sunscreen, folks. Us Weekly reports that Bethenny Frankel is now being screened for cancer . We assume that this means that Bethenny’s growth, that has now been removed, has been sent to a pathology lab for analysis. We also assume that she might undergo a battery of other tests to determine whether or not she might have skin cancer elsewhere or even another form of cancer. Cancer is weird, dangerous, and deadly, folks. You can never bee too careful. Bethenny Frankel, though, has the resources to cover medical care and also the exact sort of fighting spirit that can give people an edge if they do have a cancer diagnosis. She didn’t wage this battle against Jason Hoppy for years only to fall to cancer just as she reaches the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. And it sounds like they caught this basal cell growth on her face really early. Hopefully, these tests will all come back negative and Bethenny will be able to rest easy. Or, at least, do the Bethenny Frankel equivalent of resting easy. She’s a little intense, and that’s just the way that we like her. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Beat Cancer
Farrah Abraham isn’t great at maintaining healthy relationships with … well, anyone, but her most contentious battle might be the lifelong one she’s been waging against her mother, Debra Danielsen. Debra is getting married in November, and as a way of making it all about her, Farrah has announced that she won’t be attending. It’s unclear when Farrah went from frequently screaming in her mother’s face to giving her the silent treatment, but for whatever reason, the two aren’t on speaking terms. Danielsen recently spoke to Radar Online and revealed that Farrah is sticking to her guns and refusing to attend her mother’s nuptials. “Right now they’re not participating in the wedding,” Danielsen told the site. “They’re not coming to the wedding.” Danielsen described Farrah’s actions as “very hurtful” and stated that she blamed the decision on her the Teen Mom: OG star’s disapproval of her fiance: “Family is family and blood is blood,” she explained. “I don’t intend on getting married again. If she married someone I didn’t like, I would be there front and center.” Sounds like Deb is pretty broken up about it. Which may be why she’s pulling a passive-aggressive boss move and inviting Farrah’s biggest rival to the ceremony. Last year Farrah and Amber Portwood nearly came to blows at the TM:OG reunion show “We’re friends,” Danielsen said of her decision to invite Portwood. “We all started together, we are family. We have a bond and I take that seriously.” And that’s not the only surprising guest. Deb has also invited Jenelle Evans’ ex-husband, Courtland Rogers, who was released from prison back in March. “Courtland has always wanted to meet Farrah,” Danielsen explained. “There might be a prospect for Farrah there if she comes since Simon [Saran] is out of the picture.” Yes, Deb thinks Farrah should get together with Jenelle’s ex. Come to think of it, we think it’s a great idea, too. But only because we’d give anything to see Jenelle’s reaction to the news.

Ryan Edwards’ Tinder match and his wife Mackenzie are getting into it following the alleged sexy pics and images he was busted sending. It’s getting uglier by the minute, from the looks of it. If you missed it, the troubled Teen Mom OG cast member was caught using Tinder and sending lewd pics and texts to at least one girl. Edwards married Mackenzie Standifer just a few months ago, as seen (awkwardly, and painfully) on the season finale of the MTV hit. After a show of Instagram solidarity – flaunting her rings, and changing her name to Edwards – Mackenzie came at the Tinder girl hard. “I want you to stop,” Standifer told the other woman, adding that she’s ready to “deal with this the hard way” if she doesn’t comply. It’s not clear what Mackenzie means, but it’s safe to assume thanks to Radar’s newly-revealed text messages that the woman is unmoved. “I’m not sure why you’re mad at me when it’s your husband’s fault,” she texted, to which Mackenzie replied, “You’re just as much at fault.” The Tinder girl then played the classic mistress card, implying that Mackenzie must have somehow “made” Ryan join the dating app. Why would he do so if he were happy with Standifer, right? Mackenzie was having none of that victim blaming, firing back that it’s “your fault you continue to message a man you know is married.” The girl then replied that it’s not like they banged … or she wanted to: “I’m 19, why the f–k would I want to sleep with a 29-year-old?” Standifer herself is only 20, so that one had to hurt. “Same reason every other slut does,” she said. Ouch. But “If I want sex I’d choose someone a little closer to my age and someone who’s actually cute,” the Tinder match said in response. While decidedly unapologetic, the unnamed young woman did note that she means no harm: “Don’t know why you’re trying to blame me.” “You deserve better than Ryan.” Not inclined to grab onto that olive branch apparently, Standifer ended this with “What’s it gonna cost for you to shut your down mouth?” To be clear, Edwards went way beyond the plausible (albeit still shady) use of Tinder for mindless swiping and texting out of boredom. He sent her a shot of his penis, encouraging her to “send me a sexy one,” in return. Lest she wonder what he meant by that, he added: “Let me see how pink it is.” “Me me hard. Come on.” He then asked for a video of “u playing with your self,” and when she refuses, he says “Come over I told you I’ll let u sit on my face.” “So I can get u good and wet.” Kind of horrifying … and worse yet, when she refused to meet him in person, he tried another day, when Mackenzie is “out of town.” Pretty much as blatant an attempt to get some on the side using Tinder as you can get – and Mackenzie isn’t the only one who’s worried. Ryan’s ex-girlfriend, Teen Mom: OG star Maci Bookout, has been following this drama, and she’s as concerned about it as she is unsurprised. Considering that this comes on the heels of Ryan’s recent battles with addiction, Maci understandably worries about his current state. “ Maci wasn’t surprised at all about the allegations that Ryan was sexting some chick on Tinder,” a source close to Bookout said. “She can’t help thinking, a leopard never changes its spots. Once a cheater always a cheater. What really worries her though is his sobriety.” “Maci has had reservations about Ryan being able to stay sober … this [scandal] just reinforces her belief that he’s not to be trusted.” As for potential backlash from Edwards and Standifer? “Maci couldn’t care less about Mackenzie and her feelings,” the source said. “She’s is super worried about Ryan being around their son.” Given that tensions between them are already high, something tells us this is all going to get a lot worse before it gets better … View Slideshow: Teen Mom: What Do the Dads Do for a Living?!
It’s not every day that a celebrity of Kim Kardashian’s standing has to scramble to shut down rumors over Twitter. But after fans noticed something suspicious and out-of-place in one of Kim’s Snapchat videos, the reality personality and social media star took to Twitter in an effort to quash the story before it could take off. We’ll see if that was enough to put the rumors to rest. … So, that looks like a run-of-the-mill still from yet another Kim Kardashian Snapchat video. She’s talking about her products dropping on the 17th and, you know, the usual Kardashian deal. Remember, the Kardashians kept pushing their products even through the explosive start to the Rob Kardashian-Blac Chyna feud . It’s kind of who they are, at this point. Kim’s also, very obviously, using a Snapchat filter that adds a flower crown … and makes her look like some sort of frightening apparition. (She can use whatever Snapchat filter she likes just like she can use whatever makeup she likes) (But … it looks how it looks, and people are entitled to opinions) So, that’s all business as usual … except, as some eagle-eyed fans noticed, for something that the mirror reveals. Look in the reflection, at that black countertop. Do you see the two streaks of what appears to be some sort of mysterious white powder? It’s in the corner, right over her shoulder. Some fans immediately wondered if they might be looking at a couple of lines of cocaine. Today, Kim took to Twitter in an effort to shut down the rumors before they can really take off. “I do not play with rumors like this so I’m gonna shut it down real quick.” She’ll try, at least. “That’s sugar from our candy mess from dylan’s candy shop.” So, somebody’s sugary treat of some variety left a pair of somewhat linear messes on that countertop, and she didn’t think anything of it and didn’t want to wait for a cleaning lady to take care of it before plugging her products. That’s … plausible, right? Now, the Kardashians aren’t a perfect lot. Khloe can be controlling, Kendall can be tone-deaf, Rob Kardashian may face criminal charges and his every move seems like an almost comical mistake by an unrelenting dumbass. But Kris Jenner didn’t raise her daughters to carelessly flash drugs on Snapchat, you know? And, if we’re being honest, coke doesn’t really seem like Kim’s style. (Is this where we make an obligatory joke about Kendall Jenner’s infamous Pepsi commercial ?) (Get it? Because … coke? You know what, never mind) Kim’s actually way less of a party girl than you’d think. She claims to not even like the taste of alcohol. (Though, like, you don’t have taste buds on the inside of your nose, but we get the idea) Also, those look a little spread out to be lines of coke. We feel like we might actually believe her here. It’s not that we’ve never been surprised before, but Kim seems too judgmental about even something as simple as drinking to be much of a coke fiend. (Though some people judge the hell out of others for drinking but don’t mind hard drugs, so you really never know) But, though it wouldn’t rule out her covering for someone else, it seems totally plausible that Kim Kardashian being a busybody is her biggest vice. Kim might regret her tweet, though. Sometimes nothing fuels rumors more than a denial. View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian on Kourtney Kardashian Birthday Party: Nipple Clamps, Nude Cartwheels and More!
Yesterday, Farrah Abraham’s smarmy ex, Simon Saran confirmed that he’s done with Farrah and quitting the show that made him famous. Yes, fans of Teen Mom: OG , we regret to report that the upcoming Being Simon special that’s somehow a thing is the last you’ll see of Mr. Saran on screen. But that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to continue enjoying his always-amusing social media feuds. It looks as though Simon’s beef with Amber Portwood has come to an end, but these days, he’s turned his attention to a much more deserving target. Yes, now that his time on the show has reached it’s conclusion, Simon is squaring off against the Teen Mom end boss. We’re talking, of course, about Farrah herself. Unlike all of his other feuds, it doesn’t look like Simon started this one. But he’s certainly hell-bent on having the last word. “FYI Simon is not in my life and really is hurt I’ve moved on,” Farrah tweeted , possibly in response to yesterday’s interviews. “Free ride is over! Stop talking about me if you’re over me lmao,” she added. Demonstrating the dearth of wit for which he’s become semi-famous, Saran shot back: “Worst free ride ever!” As online comebacks go, it’s about the equivalent of a schoolyard “I know you are, but what am I?” but it was enough to get Farrah’s goat. “Why are you trying to get attention, you’re pathetic & I’m a great mother, professional, friend & women. Go STOP using me for money.” “What money?” Simon replied, prompting Farrah to call him “jealous” and accuse him of “stalking” her dates. As you can see, this is some extremely high-minded Lincoln-Douglas debate stuff. Farrah offered the above screen shot as proof that Simon is still texting her: “Simon you wanna lie this is you just texting me,” she captioned the image. “Get a life – no one wants your nasty low life style. Your hateful, user, fame whore.” She added: “Thanks 2 me you got your own ‘Being Simon’ special. Simon wants to be on TV so much! F–king joke! Be thankful not hateful.” As a parting shot, she retweeted a fan who wrote: View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: A Ridiculous, Sometimes X-Rated Life in GIFs “@F1abraham you and simon were in trouble when his tits got bigger then yours.” Keep it classy, you two!
