Demi Lovato Overdose: Did the Singer Take Dirty Drugs?

With Demi Lovato having checked in to rehab, hopefully focused on turning her life around, we have a couple updates on the troubled singer. First, a new report claims to have information on what caused Lovato to overdose back on Tuesday, July 24. According to TMZ insiders, Lovato did indeed spent most of the previous evening out and about with friends. As detailed shortly after this frightening incident took place, Demi hit up a club in Hollywood to celebrate a pal’s birthday and then continued the celebration with a smaller group of acquaintances at her home. (These were allegedly the toxic influences that Lovato has since vowed to eliminate from her life.) Following her night out at Saddle Ranch on the Sunset Strip, and after she returned to her residence with these friends, the aforementioned TMZ article states that Lovato sent a text message to a drug dealer at 4 a.m. The drug dealer received the text and responded, arriving at Demi’s home with two freebased Oxycodone on tin foil. But that’s not all. This new and scary report goes deep. These sources say, unbeknownst to the singer, the drug dealer in question had a dangerous habit of buying dirty drugs from Mexico — and the batch he handed over appeared to be laced with fentanyl. This is the same drug that killed Prince and Lil Peep. Ummm… yikes, right? Original reports after Demi’s overdose alleged that the star overdosed on heroin, but most of these were later corrected via follow-up posts and quotes. TMZ even writes that the drug dealer remained at Lovato’s home until he noticed she was breathing heavily in bed, at which point he fled the scene. Eventually, Demi’s assistant found the singer unconscious and called 911. It’s more or less been confirmed at this point that paramedics administed Narcan to Demi, a drug used to combat the dangerous of an overdose. This may have been what saved Lovato’s life, as she regained consciousness and was then rushed to the hospital. Lovato spent about two weeks under doctors’ supervision and then jetted off to an out-of-state treatment facility last week. She has understandably canceled all tour dates for the remainder of 2018 and there’s a very good chance we don’t hear from her, or even about her from anyone named on record, for a long time. “She will be in rehab for several months and is doing an extensive program to ensure she gets the help she needs,” a source tells E! News. The 25-year-old, though, is currently in Chicago, where she’s undergoing treatment with a therapist who focuses on sobriety, mental health and wellness. Demi has made it clear over the years, in numerous interviews, that she faces all of these problems and more. She has struggled with substance abuse, an eating disorder and general self-esteem issues. View Slideshow: Demi Lovato: Stars Shower Her With Love After Overdose Lovato has not been in much contact with anyone close to her, although ex-boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama has checked in whenever possible. “Wilmer has been in touch with the family and has been checking in on Demi’s status,” writes E! News, adding that the actor hasn’t really spoken to Lovato directly: “The family is trying to make sure they eliminate all distractions and want her to be focusing on her health right now.” We continue to keep Lovato in our thoughts.

Bachelor in Paradise Recap: Becca is Back!!!

The Colton and Tia Show continued on ABC on Monday night. By which we mean Bachelor in Paradise, of course, but early installments of Season 5 have focused heavily on television’s most famous virgin and the woman he briefly dated a long time ago. Early on this week, Chris, Nick and Jordan confronted Colton Underwood after he came back from his date with Tia. Was he really open to a renewed romance with his quasi ex? Yes, Colton told the fellas, but he was also still exploring other bikini-clad options while he pondered this possibility. Underwood just wanted to “figure things out,” he said for the 972nd time. Colton also noted that he couldn’t simply turn his feelings for Tia back on after being in love with Becca Kufrin and pursuing her for two months. See, these are the challenges that face the men who go straight from The Bachelorette to Bachelor in Paradise. It isn’t easy, folks. Fast forward a short bit and Tia got irritated with Colton when she realized he was flirting with Angela, concerned he was just keeping her on the side for whenever he felt giving her attention. Afraid she’d end up like Dean and Kristina, Tia stood up for herself to Underwood. Playing all innocent and trying to be honest, Colton told Tia he intended to talk to other women…  but he didn’t know what he wanted. (This is sort of the entire point of the series, right?) However, Tia wanted for Colton to be jealous of her smooch with Chris — and when he didn’t really seem to care, she said she had enough. She refused to stay in the situation because she knew she deserved something wonderful, something Colton was not providing. So… did Colton survive the night? He didn’t get Tia’s rose and he struggled with Angela, but then Bibiana swooped in and saved the hunky football player. The next day, Becca paid the women a visit. She was on hand to offer them advice, but her presence caused Colton to break down in tears, forced to relive the heartbreak that resulted from her elimination of him a few months prior. Seeing Becca brought back all these difficult memories, as the episode concluded with Kufrin making her way over to the man she sent packing on The Bachelorette. Elsewhere this week… – Kenny took Krystal on a wrestling date, despite the fact that she’d swapped spin with Kevin the evening before. – Kenny then got in the ring and showed off some impressive moves, and the two later connected over their experiences on two-on-one dates. – Back at the beach, Kevin grew tired of having concerns over his relationship with Krystal. He therefore decided to pursue other women. – He and Astrid hit it off in an unexpected matter and before we knew it… they were kissing and holding hands! – David warned Annaliese about Jordan, which made her anxious, yet her nerves were calmed a bit when Jordan arranged a romantic dinner on the beach for the two of them. – They made out and she gave him her rose later in response. – John and Kendall also kissed this week, but the latter actually gave Joe her rose, while Angela handed hers to John. – Finally, Nick failed to win Chelsea over and our beloved Wills went home roseless. Can ABC just go ahead and make him The Bachelor already ?!? View Slideshow: The Bachelor 2019: Who Will It Be?!?

Kailyn Lowry on Briana DeJesus Fight: It’s All Javi’s Fault!

Tonight's episode of Teen Mom 2 is one that fans have been anticipating for quite some time. Reunion specials are generally considered to be the highlights of the season, but this one should really be a doozy, as we'll finally get to see the fight between Kailyn Lowry and Briana DeJesus . Well, perhaps “fight” isn't the right word. We'll get to see Kailyn and Briana very nearly come to blows on at least two separate occasions. MTV keeps a lot of security on hand these days, which is good news for the cast, bad news for viewers who enjoy bloodshed. But despite the fact that Kail and Briana were prevented from tearing each other's throats out, things still got awfully ugly. And now, Ms. Lowry is offering some final thoughts before tonight's title bout: 1. Ready to Rumble According to reports from the set and audio released by MTV, the first altercation began when Kail confronted Bri in her dressing room. 2. The Showdown Kail decided to have a chat with Briana away from the cameras and the studio audience, so that the two of them could work out their differences in private. 3. A Civil Discussion As you can see in this clip, the sit-down didn’t quite go according to plan, and Kail attempted to engage Bri in a physical fight. 4. Cutting to the Chase “Why don’t you tell me why you felt so comfortable commenting what you commented on Instagram?” Kail asked her rival at one point. “This isn’t about Javi [Marroquin], this isn’t about the show.” 5. The Chris Conundrum “I want to know why you felt so comfortable to say some sh-t about my kids and Chris,” Lowry elaborated, referring to comments Bri made about her third baby daddy, Chris Lopez. 6. The Point of Contention Kail goes on to suggest that Bri crossed a line by dragging her family into the fight. “You don’t want me talking about your kids; you don’t want me talking about your mom …” she said at the time. Now, she’s elaborating on those comments. View Slideshow

The Bachelorette Finale Recap: Who Did Becca Kufrin Choose?

The Bachelorette just aired an iconic 14th season finale, and we can confirm what The Bachelorette spoilers foretold months ago: Becca Kufrin is engaged!! But to whom? Viewers have waited all summer (whether you read  Bachelorette spoilers  or not) to see how this thing ends for beautiful, sweet Becca. For Garrett Yrigoyen and Blake Horstmann, this is what they’ve fought for: To be the last man standing, holding a Neil Lane ring. After what was, by and large, a fairly conventional season, might an epic twist still be in the works, After the Final Rose style? To channel our inner Chris Harrison for a moment … this was NOT the most anticipated, controversial finale in Bachelorette history. But it wasn’t half bad. The beautiful Minnesotan spent 11 weeks paring down 25 suitors to just two. The two handsome men standing before her this evening. So would she give the final rose to Garrett Yrigoyen, the once-divorced, instant frontrunner with the shady Instagram history? Or would it go to Blake Horstmann, who has emerged as the dark Horst (sorry) over the past couple of episodes especially? Both gentlemen met her family as Becca struggled with what could be the most difficult, consequential decision of her life. Who does she see a brighter future with – and can she trust that person with her heart, especially after what happened with Arie? So which guy got the rose? And Becca said all along that she got engaged, but has it lasted? Is she still engaged right now? Man alive, The Bachelorette producers sure can cut a slick finale, keeping us guessing and methodically ratcheting up the drama. In the end, though, they can only do their best with the material Becca gives them, and there was no major shocker in store: Becca Kufrin is engaged to Garrett Yrigoven. Yes, the first impression rose recipient many weeks ago is now Becca’s fiance, having proposed (she said yes) at the end of the night. That doesn’t mean he was a lock, though. The finale focused hardcore on Becca’s “second thoughts” (again, those producers are good) and Blake really bringing his A-game. Maybe it was editing, or maybe it was just his feelings and their chemistry peaking at the right time, but Horstmann made it a contest. Just when you thought no one could match Garrett’s connection with Becca – and Becca’s family – Blake came awfully darn close. His final date, capped off by that amazing scrapbook, seemed to push Becca over the edge … or at least right up to the edge. Not unlike his competition, he started to look like a 50-50 partner, the kind she’s been dreaming of, and hoping he would be. As such, she was 50-50 when it came to the two guys, or so it seemed. Sadly, there could be only one, and Blake lost out. Rough. Holy cow that was … wow. That’s all we can say about that Blake breakup. Yeesh. It’s never easy to watch that sort of thing, but this one was super bad. He got through that whole speech and everything. She just stood there, Gone are the days when the show lets them off easy, apparently. Say what you will about reality shows, the pain on Blake’s face was pretty real, and Becca’s too for that matter. That was just painful. Guy was legit trembling out there. Even on the LIVE After the Final Rose special, it wasn’t much better. From the look on Blake’s face, you would think it had just happened. That’s love. That’s love. When Kufrin took the stage to see Horstmann FOR THE FIRST TIME since they split, both had nothing but kind words for the other. As Chris said, Blake has a LOT of fans in the house tonight. If he’s NOT The Bachelor next winter, that would be a surprise. Or at least a letdown. Speaking of a letdown … could the actual proposal from Garrett and the aftermath possibly match that level of emotion? Close. Very, very close. That was as sweet and cheesy (in a good way) as it gets, as Yrigoyen and Kufrin left the Maldives blissfully engaged. Now for the hard part … View Slideshow: Garrett Yrigoyen: Bachelorette Suitor’s Bigoted Social Media History EXPOSED

Colton Underwood: All That Virginity Talk Triggered Something in Me!

If you’re following The Bachelorette Spoilers , you already know how this season ends. But even so, the Men Tell All special was a real treat for the Bachelor Nation. But it was also awkward, and not just for Becca. Colton Underwood’s famous virginity came up. Now, he’s revealing how he really felt about about the discussion, and how the conversation surrounding his v-card “triggered something.” Entertainment Tonight spoke to Colton Underwood about his virginity and the discourse surrounding it. “Some comments caught me off guard and really triggered something in me and I felt like I spoke my truth tonight,” Colton said. “It took a lot of self-restraint to stay seated,” he admits, referring to Jean Blanc’s comment. “I can’t even understand where that comment comes from,” Colton says. “And in the manner that it came off was so disrespectful.” Some people are uncomfortable with the sexual choices of others and lash out. Some people … just can’t resist trolling, unfortunately. Colton says that he understands that not everyone can wrap their head around why a handsome, famous adult man might not have had sex yet. “I can respect that they have their opinion,” Colton says. “I hope that at least I started a dialogue and I started a conversation in which they can understand what makes me, me,” he states. “And I’m not here to prove a point,” Colton notes, adding: “I’m not here to defend myself, I’m not here to say I’m better than anybody else.” Having sex or not having it is a personal choice, and should never be grounds to attack someone else. Not for having a thousand partners and not for having zero. “What I am here to do is be true to who I am, and The Bachelorette has helped me do that,” Colton says. “So I can’t thank them enough.” “This has been so good for me and so therapeutic for me,” he adds. Even Chris Harrison observed that there’s a huge and gendered double-standard when it comes to virginity. “There’s a double standard, isn’t there?” Chris noted. He’s right. “Why is it different that when a woman talks about it,” Chris notes, referring to a decision to remain a virgin. “It’s respected. “And then,” Chris continues. “When a guy talks about it, he should be shamed?” The answer is that patriarchal cultural values encourage men to make sexual “conquests” while women are seen as property. That is changing, but underlying prejudices and double-standards still linger. Conversely, men who have had a lot of sex are likely to be praised. Women who have had a lot of sex are more likely to be insulted. “We will probably be talking about this now because of Colton,” Chris says, crediting Colton for starting a nationwide conversation. Colton says that, behind the scenes, the response has been overwhelming and positive. “I can’t tell you how many athletes and players and former teammates have reached out to me,” Colton says. They made contact, Colton explains, “and said, ‘Man, I wish I knew you were going through this.'” “‘I was going through something similar.’ And for me to hear that means the world,” Colton explains. “Because that is where I felt the deepest and the darkest is at those times.” There is something very toxic going on in the world if adult men feel pressured to lie about their sex lives in order to appease their peers. Colton isn’t planning on avoiding sex forever — or even until marriage. Colton says that he is “waiting for the right heart.” That is such a good way of putting it.  “It sounds a little cheesy,” Colton admits. “I’m waiting for someone to match my intensity, someone that’s going to be into me as much as I am into them.” He’s saving his v-card for “somebody that I am so madly in love with and that I can share that special moment with.” Virginity is a social construct with varying definitions, but that doesn’t mean that people aren’t allowed to find it significant. This is very sweet. “That’s what I’m waiting for,” Colton explains. “And that’s what I’m looking forward to.” Colton Underwood also took to Instagram to reflect upon the conversation about what he has or has not done sexually. “Behind my smile are layers of insecurities, scars from my past, & feelings that have been buried for years,” Colton begins. “It’s easy to show only the good/happy times on social media,” he writes. “I do that.” “I love shedding light on positive/impactful events in my life, but the truth is I have had struggles,” Colton confesses. “For years I hid my feelings, including depression & anxiety.” “You see a portion of my life and a select few scenes that help portray a picture of who I am,” he cautions his followers. “I’m here to tell you that I am not perfect,” Colton says. “And that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes.” Colton says: “If I have to continue to take cheap shots about my virginity — which is only a small part of who I am — so that others like me can feel comfortable & relate — Bring it on!” “While I didn’t plan on breaking down or speaking about my virginity on tonight’s episode,” Colton writes. “it is clearly something that I struggle talking about.” “When I heard the comments made by some of the other guys,” Colton admits. “it triggered a response from me that was unexpected.” Colton says: “While I respect their opinions, I’m not here to prove a point, say I’m better than anyone else, or gain sympathy.” “It is what it is,” he writes. “my virginity shouldn’t have to be defended or used to describe me as a person.” He’s right. Please be nice. View Slideshow: The Bachelorette: 15 Shockers from The Men Tell All Special

Donald Trump Interrupts The Bachelorette, Gets Blasted by Furious Fans

Just because you follow  The Bachelorette  Spoilers  and know how things end doesn't mean that you don't want to enjoy the episode in peace. But, this week,  The Bachelorette  was interrupted by the exact opposite of peace — it was an announcement of Donald Trump's Supreme Court pick. And the Bachelor Nation was  pissed . Chris Harrison warned viewers in advance that Trump would be preempting the broadcast. But the Bachelor Nation has been waiting for ages to  watch Colton Underwood tell Becca Kufrin that he's a virgin . Most people get their breaking news from Twitter and their in-depth coverage from online articles these days, so it was understandably difficult for many people to understand why they needed to waste 20 minutes of their lives. And, as you may have heard, Trump isn't exactly hitting any record highs for Presidential popularity. So the Bachelor Nation took to Instagram to vent their fury and frustration. Take a look: 1. Fans were pissed This tweet shows that you can care about politics but still be furious that you’re missing your show. People can do both. 2. Is this evidence of Trump hypocrisy? Honestly, “caring about women” is not really part of his brand. 3. This has happened before Remember when Trump interrupted Bachelor in Paradise? What does he have against the pursuit of love? 4. The language became colorful It takes a lot of audacity to interrupt primetime television and take twenty entire minutes to read one name. 5. Trump was not what the Bachelor Nation wanted to see Seriously. And now everyone wants to know how Blake’s mom feels about what he decided to share with the world. 6. This is what you’d call a swing voter That’s probably an easy promise to make. Unless you have some sort of pathology that makes you crave the spotlight so much that you schedule a briefing for primetime. View Slideshow

Stevie J Lost His $1.3 Million Child Support Appeal; Next Stop, Jail?!

Stevie J is in major trouble, and we’re not even talking about his alleged assault on Erica Mena at the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta reunion. He has lost his appeal over $1.3 million in child support that he owes. Is he going to end up behind bars? We know that hip hop artists sometimes earn increased social credibility (“street cred”) from imprisonment, but heading to jail for being a deadbeat dad  … probably doesn’t qualify. Stevie J was “found guilty of knowingly withholding child support payments for his son and daughter over 18 years.” That could cost him — seven figures, to be exact. And Bossip reports that he has lost his latest appeal. The appeal itself was an oddity, causing his first lawyer to quit working the case, citing that he had essentially no chance of winning and that it was a fool’s errand to try. Stevie J persisted, believing that the ruling was “unfair,” even though he agreed to the payment in February of 2017. Here’s where it gets weirder. Stevie J opted to represent himself in his appeal. If you genuinely cannot afford an attorney to handle your appeal, that’s fine. Otherwise, try to avoid representing yourself in court over anything more significant than a parking ticket. And it turns out that the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star didn’t exactly miss his calling. According to court documents, he “let deadline after deadline pass on the case without any action.” Which is why the judge dismissed this appeal. But will Stevie J go to jail after being found guilty of knowingly not paying child support to the tune of $1.3 million? It doesn’t look like it. Reports say that he avoided prison when he agreed to make the payments — though, at the time, the U.S. attorney was seeking to have him put behind bars for six months. And perhaps this was why he gave up on his appeal. If he was already going to pay up and if he wasn’t going to go to prison, why bother? It would have been nice if he had elected to not waste the court’s time and notify them that he was withdrawing his appeal, though. It is a strange and confusing case. The moral, we suppose, is to just pay your child support. The guy’s net worth is estimated to be around $5 million. Don’t be a deadbeat. On a more serious note, however, is what Stevie J allegedly did to Erica Mena at the reunion. It began with a verbal altercation, which is the bread and butter of reality television and usually no big deal. But things escalated when Stevie J’s criticisms of Erica turned into insults of her 11-year-old son. Specifically, he used an anti-gay slur, calling the child a “f–got.” Unacceptable under any circumstances, and not the first time that he has been accused of homophobia. Some reports say that Erica responded by slapping Stevie J. But it sounds like what happened next was much more serious — with Stevie J allegedly jumping on top of her and attacking her. Reports say that Stevie J was pulled off of Erica by security and expelled from the building. Many fans expect that he will be fired for this shocking display of alleged violence and homophobia. Erica posted to Instagram but quickly deleted a video in which she referred to him as a “b–ch” who “likes to fight girls.” It seemed that she was still feeling understandably heated from their alleged confrontation, but she may have been instructed to delete it or simply thought better of it. Many fans hope that Erica pursues legal action against him, even if he is fired from the show. View Slideshow: 15 AMAZING Moments from Love & Hip Hop

Lincoln Adim is a Liar, Bachelorette Producers Harshly Allege!

Becca Kurfin claims she fell in love with two men on her current season of The Bachelorette. But that predicament is nothing compared to the one producers of this show now find themselves in after word spread on Wednesday of Lincoln Adim’s past run-in with the law. Lincoln is a suitor on Season 14 and, as of this past Monday’s episode, is still in the running for Becca’s heart. You’ll need to visit our section of The Bachelorette spoilers in order to learn just how far he advances in the weeks ahead – but you only need to scroll down a little bit in order to learn the trouble Lincoln has gotten into. In May of 2016, Adim sexually accosted a woman on board a cruise ship. We don’t even need to use the word allegedly in this case because he was actually convicted of this illegal action two years later, just a few days before The Bachelorette premiered. Press Secretary Jake Wark of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office has said that Lincoln has to register as a sex offender for his behavior, while stating the following in regard to his conviction: The judge ordered him to stay away from the victim and attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week during those two years. If he complies with the judge’s orders, he will not have to serve out his term, but if he fails to comply with those orders or re-offends, he could be ordered to serve out the year behind bars. This was and is clearly a pretty big deal. So the natural next question to ask is this: How the heck did Lincoln get approved for the show?!? How were producers unaware of his assault charge and subsequent conviction? Simple, they now say in response: Because Lincoln is a liar! In a statement released by the press in response to this new Bachelorette scandal, the studio behind the ABC reality series says the following: “No one on The Bachelorette production had any knowledge about the incident or charges when Lincoln Adim was cast, and he himself denied ever having engaged in or having been charged with any sexual misconduct.” Well… yeah, right? No d’uh! Of course Lincoln would deny this. Why didn’t the team behind The Bachelorette use all the resources at their disposal to find the truth themselves?  Continues this production company statement: “We employ a well-respected and highly experienced third party who has done thousands of background checks consistent with industry standards to do a nationwide background check in this case. “The report we received did not reference any incident or charge relating to the recent conviction – or any other charges relating to sexual misconduct. The statement concludes: “We are currently investigating why the report did not contain this information, which we will share when we have it.” Fair enough. We’ll be curious to read it.

Lincoln Adim, Current Bachelorette Suitor, Convicted of Assault

Another week, another Bachelorette-based scandal. And we’re not talking this time about who Becca Kufrin kissed and/or who she sent home on the latest episode of this ABC hit. Instead, we’re talking about more scandalous behavior by one of the men vying for the heart of this season’s Bachelorette. Following the reveal that  Garrett Yrigoyen had shared many gross and inappropriate Instagram messages not long before he was cast on Season 14, we can now report that Lincoln Adim was convicted of indecent assault and batter… … mere days before the new season premiered last month. The conviction took place on May 21, with the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office saying that Adim – who remains on the show through Episode 4 – groped and assaulted a woman in May of 2016 on board a cruise ship. He was ultimately given two years probation for these acts. Press Secretary Jake Wark of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office has said the following to the media about what transpired with Lincoln in this case: “The judge ordered him to stay away from the victim and attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week during those two years. “If he complies with the judge’s orders, he will not have to serve out his term, but if he fails to comply with those orders or re-offends, he could be ordered to serve out the year behind bars.” So… a current suitor on the current season of The Bachelorette may face prison time for his inappropriate and illegal actions on board a cruise with a fellow passenger?!? This is NOT a good look for the series. Former Bachelor contestant Ashley Spivey wrote on Twitter Wednesday that she was disappointed in ABC and The Bachelor for permitting Adim on the program. “I am honestly horrified that Lincoln,who was charged with indecent assault and battery, was allowed to go on the show,” wrote Ashley, adding: “I do not understand how a serious crime like this was missed during background checks.” It’s a pretty good question, isn’t it? Spivey did later qualify her stance. She said that she doesn’t think ABC purposely let someone with this history on the series; she doesn’t think this was some ratings ploy. She just chalks it up to negligence instead. “Let me be clear that I do not think production would ever allow this for drama purposes,” added Spivery. “I really think it is a huge problem for whoever does the background checks into the contestants.” By law, the district attorney’s office adds of Lincoln, without providing exact details of what the reality star did, “he is expected to register as a sex offender.”  Yikes . Last month, Yrigoyen apologized after garnering backlash for Liking offensive posts on social media that mocked the transgender community, a Parkland high school shooting survivor, undocumented immigrants and more. Kufrin came out and defended Garrett in the wake of this scandal. “I want viewers to be open to everyone, and I want them to go through this season with me and watch my love story unfold with all of these men,” she said a few weeks ago. “Because that’s how I went into this journey. And we think we know why she said this. Visit our section of The Bachelorette spoilers and you’ll know why as well!
