Amber Portwood's Shocking Addiction Might Not Be Her Fault After All

amber portwoodWhoa. Amber Portwood is so much worse off than any of us realized. But at least SHE realizes it, apparently.

According to TMZ, the Teen Mom star's drug problem is so severe that "Amber believes prison is the only way to get clean because it will force her to kick the addiction cold turkey."

It's no surprise that Portwood has been battling a drug problem, but you might be surprised to hear which drug:

Sources told TMZ that "immediately following the reality TV star's incarceration, her last drug test came back positive for the opiate-based drug Suboxone ... a highly addictive drug similar to Morphine."

Yikes. Serious, but also super sad. Because here's the thing about Suboxone ...

The Bachelorette won't teach us a whole lot about dating in the real world. You are not going to find those 25 to 1 odds in a woman's favor anywhere else. What you will learn, however, is how and when to reveal you have kids, which is a real issue for single parents looking for love.

Of course being a single mom is what Emily Maynard's story is all about. But she's not the only one navigating the season with a ready-made family. The very first moment Seattle realtor Doug met he, he laid on the news about his 11-year-old son. "I talked to my son last night and he said 'I miss you a little, but go have fun!'" he told her. Maynard later said, "It's cool to have someone here who gets what I'm going through. Missing your other half is heartbreaking, so you have made me feel really comfortable and good about myself."

MTV Cancels Show About Virgins 'Losing It' -- What a Tease!

on May 24, 2012 at 6:25 PM

condomsEveryone thought MTV couldn't sink any lower. That is until the casting call for Losing It appeared last week. The reality show would follow around virgins as they tried to knock boots, bump uglies, shag, occupy Vagistan -- you get the picture. The lure:

Do you want to take things to the next level? Like, are you ready to hand over your V card? Or do you have a friend who is ready to lose it? Young adulthood is a time for exploration. New relationships, fresh experiences, and sexual firsts. Now MTV is looking to frankly capture that journey in a new series called My First. We’re looking for adults who are ready to go all the way. Let MTV come along on your journey ... as you try to lose your virginity!

Rehab Made Mike 'The Situation' Way More Likable (VIDEO)

Here's something I never though I'd say about a Jersey Shore star—especially one who refers to himself as The Situation—but I'm actually really impressed with Mike Sorrentino.

In his first interview since completing rehab for a prescription medication addiction, Sorrentino sounds like a very different dude from the hard-partying meathead who once proudly described himself as someone who "looks like Rambo, pretty much, with his shirt off."

He comes across as more humble, for one thing (that was overdue)—but most of all, he sounds completely and totally human in his fight to stay sober.

Kate Gosselin’s Reality Show Ambition Means She Needs a Reality Check

kate gosselinKate Gosselin is in a bit of a tough spot. The reality show star and mom to the cutest sextuplets and twins ever can't seem to find work. Ever since TLC canceled Kate Plus 8, Ms. Gosselin's been on the hunt to find a new network to call home. Thing is, no one really wants her. The WE network says they're not interested, same with Oxygen and Lifetime. It's gotta be hard; one minute you're a tabloid staple, the next you can't even get a meeting. I almost feel sorry for her. Almost.

'Sister Wives' Shocker: Janelle Jumped Ship!

Posted by Jacqueline Burt
on May 23, 2012 at 2:53 PM

sister wives book coverI don't know what the producers of Sister Wives are thinking.

So far this season has been all about how Christine resents Robyn and is getting more and more disgusted with Kody and how having sister wives is really "hard work" and blah blah jealousy blah ...

And they still haven't brought up the time Janelle left Kody (and Meri, and Christine)?!

Janelle's passages in the family's new book Becoming Sister Wives is the first I ever heard about this split, which occurred before the reality show started filming (during the eighth year of Janelle's marriage to Kody).

Poor woman.

She'd just given birth to her fifth child, Gabriel, and was suffering from "horrible postpartum depression."

Kim Kardashian's 'Drug Abuse' Is No Different From Her Love for Kanye

kim kardashian e onlineHave you heard the latest rumor about Kim Kardashian? Supposedly she's on drugs! An unnamed source says sweet sis Khloe is furious over Kim taking Valium and sleeping pills. "Khloe's really freaked out by it: She found a bottle of pills and knew straight away what Kim was doing."

The unnamed "insider" went on to say that "tough love" Khloe has given Kim an ultimatum: Kick the pills in three weeks or she'll tell the Momager and Kanye. Like Kris isn't already poring over every Kardashian mention in the tabloids.

Riiight. What's that I smell? Ah yes, the overwhelming stench of horsepucky. This story has so many layers of baloney I can't even count them all.

'Real Housewives of Orange County' Recap: Tamra Barney Went Too Far

Posted by Julie Ryan Evans
on May 22, 2012 at 10:59 PM

Alexis BellinoJust when my eyes were almost fully glazed over from having to watch Heather Dubrow debate changing her last name and then actually doing so at the DMV (must see TV that was NOT), things started to get good in the O.C. With a trip to Costa Rica on the horizon, Alexis Bellino decided to clear the air with Tamra Barney and invited her to what was supposed to be a nice little lunch that would end in them hugging it out and maybe praying or something ... or so thought Alexis.

I knew from the previews that Tamra was going to tell Alexis she thought she was fake, but I thought that might just be something taken out of context. Surely, if Alexis extended a proverbial olive branch in the middle of the day with just the two of them there, Tamra would at least be civil, right? Wrong. Instead, Tamra let her have it.

Camille Grammer 'Couldn't Let Go' of 'Real Housewives' All the Way

Posted by Kiri Blakeley
on May 22, 2012 at 5:20 PM

Remember that time when Camille Grammer was on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion and host Andy Cohen asked her what it felt like that her show got higher ratings than Kelsey Grammer's new show and she got this huge grin on her face and admitted she loved it? Well, Camille is set to start smiling again. Perhaps it was that thought of her cheating ex-husband, Kelsey, and his low ratings that spurred Camille back into the RHOBH fold.

We had heard in March that she wouldn't be returning to the show because she didn't want to expose her personal life anymore. Then, in May, we heard rumors she wouldn't be a full-fledged member of the show, but she'd be on it occasionally.

And now it is confirmed that Camille is back in RH action full time, baby. The truth is, she couldn't stay away. Seriously, that's what she said.

Bristol PalinAre you ready for the battle of the teen moms? We've finally got an airdate for Bristol Palin's much hyped reality show, Life's a Tripp. And you'll never guess the time slot Lifetime has chosen to show off how the former governor's daughter and her son life life. It's directly opposite the final season of MTV's reality series, Teen Mom.

They'll both air at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesdays, beginning in June (although the teen moms get a week headstart on the Wasilla native with a June 12 start). And of course they'll both be about young moms who were pregnant teenagers. Maybe those rumors of the Bristol vs. Teen Mom stars feud aren't just rumors after all?
