Earl Gibson III/Getty Images Ulysses Wilkerson Family Filing Civil Suit The family of an Alabama teen that was hospitalized after being beaten by police is filing a civil suit with help from a famed attorney. As previously reported the four police officers who were investigated for using “physical force to subdue” Ulysses Wilkerson on December 23 will not face criminal charges. What they still can face however is a civil suit and attorney Benjamin Crump famous for representing Trayvon Martin’s family, is joining in the fight. The Dothan Eagle reports that Attorney Crump, as well as Attorney Dustin Fowler and Attorney Steve Etheredge, are representing Wilkerson and a civil suit is on the way. “All I can say at this time is that we will proceed with litigation and we are moving forward with the civil suit,” said Dothan attorney Dustin Fowler, part of a legal team retained by the family of Ulysses KeAndre Wilkerson. We hope that the civil suit will prove to fair better for the family than the criminal investigation. There’s no way police should be allowed to do THIS to a teenager and not face some sort of repercussions.
Kylie Jenner has been a mother now for over a month — and still, how wild is that?! It’s been five whole weeks now since she gave birth to little Stormi, and by all accounts, she’s loving motherhood. Well, she’s reportedly a little iffy about that whole dirty diaper situation, and sources have claimed that she has gotten overwhelmed by her daughter’s crying . But then again, she’s a spoiled 20-year-old who’s found herself in an odd situation, and babies can be overwhelming, so … We can cut her a little bit of slack, right? Oh, and while we’re talking about it, can you guess one more thing that Kylie doesn’t love about being a mom? According to a source who spoke with Radar Online, it’s the fact that in order for her to have Stormi, she had to go several moths without having plastic surgery or any cosmetic procedures of any kind. Nine moths without lip fillers — the horror! The source claims that Kylie had such a rough time not messing with her face that now that she’s able, she’s fully prepared to “go overboard” with plastic surgery. Not only that, but the girl “couldn’t be happier” about it. “She told her sisters that the best day in her entire life was when she could get fillers in her lips again because she hated the way she looked when they deflated during her pregnancy!” the source says. … Really? That’s the best day in her entire life? Not the birth of her daughter ? Not even the day she dumped Tyga for good? Oh, Kylie, what are we ever going to do with you? Unfortunately, this situation may actually be pretty serious — the source also claims that Kylie may get some work done against medical advice. “Kylie wants to go against her doctors’ wishes by doing coolsculpting and other non-invasive weight-shedding procedures,” this insider says. “At the same time, she would get her lips and entire face done up with fillers.” The source adds that “She said that she never wants to get pregnant again because of how it made her look. She hated being non-plastic!” Could any of this be true? Yeah, maybe. As soon as we heard the news of Kylie’s pregnancy, we began hearing reports about how much she hated what the pregnancy was doing to her body . Hearing a rumor over and over again doesn’t make it true, obviously, but it’s interesting that she essentially went into hiding until after she gave birth. She looks amazing now , just five weeks after having Stormi, but she’s also 20 years old, and very possibly into those “non-invasive weight-shedding procedures.” But could she have been uncomfortable enough with her appearance during pregnancy to go this crazy with plastic surgery now? Again, yeah, maybe. Since this is Kylie we’re talking about, we won’t really have to wonder for too long — if she does get reacquainted with her beloved fillers, you know we’ll see the proof in some selfies. Never change, girl! View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner Reveals REAL Reason Behind Baby Name
Heidi Montag’s gone through another radical body transformation. But don’t worry — this time, it was all natural. She’s showing off her post-baby body, just a few months after she and Spencer Pratt welcomed their first child , a precious baby named Gunner Pratt . Now, Heidi’s telling all about her weight loss and revealing if she would ever consider getting plastic surgery. Speaking to Us Weekly , Heidi talks about her post-baby bod … and starts by talking about how much she gained while pregnant. “I thought I would gain maybe 20 or 30 pounds during my pregnancy.” Generally speaking, average weight women should gain 25 to 35 pounds during pregnancy. An underweight woman should gain between 28 and 40 pounds. “But I gained over 45.” That sounds about right, for a woman as tiny as Heidi. It was only in February — four months after sweet baby Gunner was born — that Heidi says that she was first able to slip into a pair of jeans that were not maternity jeans. But the wait, she says, made it all the more rewarding. “It was very exciting.” We’re sure that it was. “It made me realize I’d lost a lot of weight,” she says. How much, exactly? The former The Hills star estimates that she’s down to about 107 pounds. “I just had a baby, I’m very emotional.” That’s no surprise. And it’s likely not a feeling that will go away for Heidi any time soon. “I’m eating healthier than when I was pregnant, ironically, because I want to make sure Gunner has all the nutrients he needs.” Well, you crave some things while pregnant, but don’t necessarily retain those same cravings when you’re lactating. “Having a baby has made me really appreciate my body, not just how it looks. It’s just amazing, the human body.” It’s great to hear that she’s appreciating her body. There was a time, of course, when she did not. She famously underwent 10 different surgeries in one day. Is she feeling that way again? “I have no temptation to have any kind of surgery after having a baby.” She says that her desires at the moment are very simple. “I want to breast-feed and have my breasts for that.” She does hint that she might get something done … some day. “Maybe I would get my boobs done after all the kids we have.” One is tempted to imagine a devilish twinkle in her eye as she delivers that line and begins to dissociate, envisioning all of the different procedures that she might undergo. Fortunately, however, she says that she’s no longer vulnerable to those sorts of temptations. “But I might just be over that phase of my life.” Heidi talks about her diet. “I just eat whatever I want here and there. I try to make sure I get enough food instead of limiting food.” She repeats the same meals. “I pretty much eat the same thing every day.” And she’s sort of humble-bragging about how she lost the baby weight in just a few months. “The weight came off really easy. Actually, I wasn’t even trying very hard. I just try to eat really healthy.” And she lists exactly what a healthy diet means to her. “I try to have protein with every meal. I try to have vegetables twice a day. And then I also try to get some carbs in there.” Take a look at how gorgeous she looks now! She looks great! And to hear Heidi tell it, losing that weight was incredibly easy. “Every day is kind of a cheat day. So, if I just want a bite of something, I will. I’m not a person who has to have, like, the whole box of doughnuts.” Before you think that her diet will be easy to emulate, know that, genetics aside, this is also a woman who goes on four hikes a day (one with each dog) and who also carries around a four-month-old baby. Also, even with a seven-month baby bump, Heidi kept exercising. So … that’s the sort of person she is. It’s no surprise that her body is so amazing already.

Think Arie Luyendyk Jr. is having a series of bad days at the moment? He very clearly is. That’s what happens after you break your fiancee’s heart on national television and then sound like an insensitive jerk on TV when talking about it… … and then propose to ANOTHER woman in front of millions of people. But it turns out that Arie may have had worst days in his past; at least one in particular. Did you know the controversial Bachelor was once arrested?!? This isn’t brand new information. It’s been out there for years, ever since Arie was a contestant on The Bachelor. But it’s maybe worth revisiting now that Luyendyk is very much back in the news. In October of 2008, Luyendyk was arrested in for driving with a suspended license in Scottsdale, Arizona. According to court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, he was also ticketed for multiple traffic violations, including speeding, failure to obey a traffic signal, unsafe lane changing and for failing to provide proof of insurance. He was booked and posed for a mug shot and everything: Arie didn’t serve any jail time, but this mark is on his permanent record. The former racecar driver probably doesn’t want us bringing it up again in public. But c probably didn’t want him to bring ABC cameras along when he dumped her, so, yeah… whatever. It’s hard to have a lot of sympathy for the guy. Said Arie to Entertainment Tonight, regarding why he (temporarily) destroyed Becca’s soul in such a manner: “I just wanted there to be no questions on that breakup. “I know that it’s a very public relationship, and I think that doing that on camera would just let everyone know that that decision was solely mine, and it told the story of how I ended up here, with her.” Ah, right, he did it for Becca. Arie then had the gall, in this same interview, to complain that he , too, was a victim! “The way the breakup was shown, I think, in its unedited version, was a little unfair to me,” he added. “But what can you do? Wait… WHAT?!? The nerve of this guy! It was unfair to not edit an interview?!? To simply show exactly what was said on both sides?!? Sheesh. In the end, Arie says he’s happy to be engaged to Lauren Burnham and Becca will go find a better guy as The Bachelorette. So everyone basically wins here. But Arie still sucks.

If you know anything about Farrah Abraham, then you know that she’s very possibly the hottest mess to ever live. Like, among ladies that have been arrested for domestic violence, neglected their children, and done heroin on national television, Farrah is widely considered to be the worst cast member in Teen Mom history. Not only is she considered to be the worst cast member, but she’s also the first person to ever be fired from the show . The only other person who’s been cut loose from the Teen Mom money train has been David Eason, after his horrific homophobic rant . That really says something, you know, that Farrah’s right there with David as the only people to be fired from Teen Mom. And what it says is not good. While Farrah is just about as messy as they come, she’s actually had a somewhat normal dating history. She’s the only person on Teen Mom that hasn’t gone on to have a second baby, which is commendable, and honestly, she really hasn’t dated around all that much, either. There were a few boyfriends in early seasons, and Simon Saran managed to stick around for a couple of years. After breaking up with Simon for good last year, she remained single for a while, though we did find out recently that she’d made herself a profile on Bumble . Oh, and she did date that guy, Aden Stay, for about three seconds earlier this month. A few days ago, she made a statement about that breakup , explaining that she needs “to watch whom I date as many men target me for my success.” “I’m focused on work right now, between TV and film projects.” “I wish him well,” she added, “but I’m not rushing into relationships. I like to take my time to do it right for myself and for my daughter.” “Being the best parent I can be is my priority.” So it sounds like she thinks Aden used her for her fame and debatable fortune, right? If that’s a problem for her while looking for love, there’s an easy solution: date men who already have fame and fortune. Enter Zac Efron! Farrah’s mother, Debra Danielsen, did an interview with In Touch this week, and she had a whole lot of thoughts about what her daughter’s next move should be. “I kind of sit down and put together a list of who I thought would be cool people for Farrah to try to date or connect with, even as just friends,” she explained. “I like Zac Efron, I think he’s more Farrah’s vibe, and Jef Holm. She needs somebody young and fun who has a career and potential — someone who can relate to her better.” It kind of would make sense for Farrah to go after another reality star, so someone like The Bachelorette’s Jef Holm might not be too crazy, but Zac Efron?! It only gets wilder though, because Deb also thinks that Kenny Chesney and Jake Gyllenhaal could be good matches for Farrah. “These four guys are all kind of guys that I think with their personalities, interests in life, and careers, have commonalities there with Farrah’s background and where she’s going, what she’s doing,” she said. “These are guys that can be a blessing in her life instead of a ball and chain in her life.” Well, at least now we know we’re Farrah gets her delusional side from! (Just kidding, we’ve known for years where she got it from — Debra has never exactly been stable.) View Slideshow: Farrah Abraham: Her Hilarious Dating Profile Revealed! [Exclusive] To think that Zac Efron or Kenny Chesney or Jake Gyllenhaal would date Farrah Abraham is just … is there even a word for how wild of a thought that is? Could you imagine? Like, could you honestly even sit down and imagine it? Have fun with your fan fiction, Deb. Hope to see you over here in reality some day.
Khloe Kardashian has often joked that she's the “fat sister” and also lamented that she's known as the “fat sister.” At least back in the day. More recently, however, the reality star has been all about slimming down and getting into shape, anchoring a series that is literally all about one working on one's “revenge body.” Would we prefer it if Khloe and her sister embraced their curves and became role models for all the women out there who maybe weren't born as a Size 2? Absolutely. But that ain't happening. So, since Khloe has posted an article on her official app titled “5 Hacks to Look Thin AF in Photos,” we figured we'd pass along her supposedly helpful advice in order to benefit any reader who cares about it. Scroll down and take notes… 1. The New Khloe This is a photo of Khloe shortly before she announced her pregnancy. She wrote as a caption that she misses this body, which still looks very different than her old body. 2. The Old Khloe It’s true! This is a photo from February of 2014. Khloe looks great, but she also looks healthy and a little round. Nothing at all wrong with that! 3. Listen To Me, Dolls “You know I’ve never met a filter I didn’t like and I don’t hate on Photoshop, but there are even more stealth ways to look like you have a sick bod in pics,” wrote Khloeto open the self-help article we cited above. 4. Prepare Yourselves! Your life will never be the same after this, she sort of jokes: “My tips really work, too! Study up below and get ready for your Insta comments to blow the f-ck up, lol!” 5. Tip #1 Hide behidn your squad? Yes, really. Kardashian says that you can “literally halve yourself” by “strategically” getting close to your BFFs, which is both a hilarious piece of advice and definitely true, we guess. 6. Tip #2 Consider the angle. Have the photographer shoot from above, Khloe explains. She writes that you should only permit the person snapping the picture of you to shoot from this spot because it’s the “only flattering angle.” View Slideshow

Kamiyah Mobley, the teen who was kidnapped at birth , raised by her abductor, and finally reunited with her birth family at age 18, clearly has a lot of pent-up anger. When Iyanla told her she had the option to stay the night at the home for their therapy session — you know, the way “Iyanla, Fix My Life” typically works — she flipped out and made numerous threats of physical violence against Iyanla. However, Kamiyah’s father says there’s more to the story: Sheesh. Looks like this young one still has quite a rough road to navigate ahead of her with her new family… Getty/YouTube Continue reading →
