It seems Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans is going to complete her 30 days of rehab 7 days at time. Despite numerous reports that her most recent stint would be for a full month, Jenelle looks to have gotten out last night after only a week — and, as you would expect, she hit the ground tweeting.
On the premiere season of TLC’s drama-packed reality series Gypsy Sisters the family hierarchy gets turned on its ear when Mellie and sister Nettie’s mom Lottie Mae Stanley is released from prison after serving nine years for a 2004 bank fraud conviction. Mellie seems to make the adjustment as well as Mellie makes any sort of adjustment, but matriarch Nettie seems to have a hard time adjusting back to the way things were more than a decade ago. And speaking of the ways things were more than a decade ago, keep reading to check out photos of a young Lottie Mae, including one with Nettie as a young child!
Former Playboy model Holly Madison gave birth to her first daughter on Tuesday, and although she and boyfriend Pasquale Rotella were very forthcoming with some of the details of the birth, they refrained from revealing her little girl’s name. “We have her name picked out,” Holly said, “but that has to remain a secret for now . . . It’s such an unusual and difficult name I have a feeling we’ll add something simpler once she’s arrived safely in our world.” Well, ow the cat is out of the bag! I’m not certain if she chose something simpler than what she had in mind originally or not, but Holly’s daughter’s name is certainly unusual! And colorful!
In our third “celebrity rushed to the hospital” story of the day, Justin Bieber reportedly collapsed backstage during his concert at the O2 Arena in London earlier tonight. The 19-year-old singer began to feel disoriented while performing “Beauty and the Beat” and left mid-performance before collapsing. Keep reading to watch the live announcement from the show and find out if Justin was able to finish the show before being taken to the hospital!
Kim Kardashian was in tears as she was rushed to her doctor Tuesday night in Los Angeles. The pregnant reality star was fearful she was having a miscarriage after feeling ill on the plane trip back from Paris, where she had joined the baby’s father Kanye West for Paris Fashion Week.
As we reported earlier, Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans’ estranged husband Courtland Rogers was taken into custody earlier today in Brunswick County, North Carolina and charged with assault on a female. We now not only have Courtland’s most recent mug shot photo, but we’ve also obtained a copy of the warrant detailing his alleged attack!
It appears Courtland Rogers’ two-week long multi-state police-eluding tour of America is over. The 27-year-old estranged husband of Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans tweeted yesterday, “they.got me…brunswick.coybty jail i am.on my way…write me …sorry i got caught,” and a Brunswick County Sheriff spokesman confirmed earlier today that he is in custody for assault on a female.
We don’t often do reviews here at Starcasm, but after watching last night’s premiere of TLC’s new reality series Welcome To Myrtle Manor I found myself wanting to not only share my praises for the show, but also defend reality shows as entertainment in general.
“You mess with one of us, you mess with the whole damn trailer park!”
AMC’s original series The Walking Dead continued its incredible success with HUGE ratings (12.3 million viewers!) for the premiere of the second half of Season 3 last month, and this weekend the show was given the honor of kicking off PaleyFest 2013 with a red carpet event and panel discussion. The event was attended by six cast members and four Executive Producers from the show and was moderated by Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick. We’ve compiled a few of the highlights from the panel discussion as well as photos from the red black carpet, which we have put side-by-side with AMC’s promotional photos for The Walking Dead Season 3 so you can see just how well they clean up! Well, except perhaps for Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Daryl (Norman Reedus). 🙂
Plus, watch The Walking Dead panel discussion courtesy of Hulu!
Though reality television is chock full of eyebrow raising shenanigans, few can compare to the jaw-dropping and headline-grabbing antics of Gypsy Sisters star Mellie Stanley. She drinks, she strips, she fights, and she ALWAYS says exactly what’s on her mind. Even among her outspoken Gypsy Sisters cast mates Mellie stands apart with her unpredictability and volatility. So what was it that caused her to be the way she is? A huge part is her amazingly unstable life that has included watching her mother get arrested when Mellie was just 13, followed by hopping around between relatives and foster care before ending up in two different abusive marriages as a teenager.
Chelsea Houska’s dad Dr. Randy Houska will finally be able to take a break from his second full-time job as ex-boyfriend exterminator. Starting March 17 his daughter’s apartment is guaranteed to not be infested with Adam Lind for at least 90 days because Adam will be spending his evenings and nights behind bars!
Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans made a brief virtual appearance online yesterday and today after nearly a week-long stay at a Florida rehab facility, but just as we had reason to believe was going to happen, she has now apparently checked into a separate facility — this time for a much longer stay.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta is the most popular of Bravo’s Housewives franchises, and the show has quite the resume for generating successful side projects that include a Top 10 dance single, Kim Zolciak’s own spin-off series, Kandi Burruss’ own spin-off series, NeNe Leakes’ acting career, an autobiography best seller, the hugely successful line of adult pleasure products Bedroom Kandi, the hugely successful fashion line She By Sheree, a wig line, and two different booty workout DVDs (Donkey and Stallion). The latest RHOA product reportedly in the works? A legal-themed spin-off series starring Phaedra Parks, Esq.!
It’s been one week since Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans tweeted “Sooo tired just need sleeeeeeep. :(” before vanishing online, reportedly to voluntarily check into a rehab facility of some sort at the request of MTV. Just a little while ago the troubled reality star returned to Twitter and immediately lashed out at her ex Gary Head, whom she had recently rekindled a romantic relationship with, because of his actions while she was away. Oh, and she wished Ke$ha a Happy Birthday!
UPDATE – Jenelle has also posted a few photos of herself and they’ve been added!
Read Tori Spelling’s amazing “Open Letter To Star Magazine” in which she lashes out at the tabloid for declaring on this week’s cover, “Tori Spelling $300 Million Divorce” and “Who will get the kids?” — both of which were read aloud by her five-year-old son Liam while in a grocery store checkout line.
There has been a great deal of confusion since Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans reportedly checked into a rehabilitation facility late last week at the request of MTV. Most reports indicated that she would be in treatment for 30 days, and rumors recently swirled that she was at a facility in Malibu, California. But, we have a source close to the 21-year-old reality star that reveals Jenelle is actually in Florida and is scheduled to be released today! (Thursday)
Perez Hilton has said on numerous occasions that he wants to be a father, and it appears he was serious. Very serious! The 34-year-old gay blogger took to his web site today and posted a photo of himself and his adopted infant son along with a heartfelt message.
The number one reality show on cable (that doesn’t involve the buying and reselling of used merchandise) comes back tonight as the bearded bravados of the Robertson family return for season 3 of Duck Dynasty with back-to-back premiere episodes beginning at 10/9c on A&E. To promote the new season, the Robertsons posed for photos sporting stylish camouflage outfits in a room (and on a Chaise lounge — er, Jase lounge?) decorated with the same camo pattern. The result is the usual awesomely awkward suaveness we’ve come to expect from the Robertson boys! (Korie and Miss Kay also got in on the fun two, but their photos are anything but awkward!)
Finally! It seems the diligent work of all those millions of concerned fans has finally paid off! Angelina Pivarnick, the only Jersey Shore cast member with enough class and self respect to walk away from all that ridiculous imminent fame and fortune, is coming back to TV! Well, actually, she’s filming a pilot episode of a reality show about herself in hopes of coming back to TV. Well, actually, she’s started a kickstarter campaign in hopes of raising enough money to film a pilot episode of a reality show about herself in hopes of coming back to TV. But still! Keep reading for all the details, including how you can contribute your hard earned money to this noble cause.
Former Teen Mom star (and current MTV on-air personality) Maci Bookout was having a rough day today, tweeting a few hours ago, “the amount of stress right now,” along with a stressed out emoticon. But, just as he did for Teen Mom viewers every week for four seasons, Maci’s son Bentley was able to cheer his mom right up! How did he do it this time? With his first ever school picture!
It’s the Final Five in Ryan Seacrest’s Real Housewives themed March February Madness! His “Who’s Your Favorite Housewife” tournament is down to just five finalists, and although there’s still a week left before we know the individual winner, it’s clear which city has taken the crown with three of the five remaining contestants… Atlanta!
Tonight’s “Catfish: The Reunion Show” on MTV was quite the dramatic doozy with lots and lots of tension between most of the couples they brought back. Though Mhissy and Jasmine clearly had the most animosity between them, Kari Ann Peniche impersonator Rose and “Average Joe” weren’t far behind as they answered questions very abruptly, seemingly without even being able to look at each other. At one point Rose even mentioned that Joe had been arrested since the show was taped! So what did he do? Keep reading to find out!
Has Bravo just announced the most amazing reality show of all time? Is this a movie poster for the sure-to-be biggest comedy box office hit of 2013? Could it be a Jimmy Kimmel skit from tonight’s episode? Or did I just have some Photoshop fun with The Real Housewives logo and pictures of Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Halle Berry, Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart and Jessica Chastain from last night’s Oscars red carpet?
A pregnant Kim Kardashian wrapped up her kurvy figure and growing baby bump in an elegant white gown to attend the 21st Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation’s Oscar Viewing Party Sunday night.
Silver Linings Playbook actress Jennifer Lawrence looked stunning at tonight’s Oscars wearing a voluminous white Dior Haute Couture dress. That voluminosity caused a few problems, however, when Lawrence was announced the winner of the Best Actress Oscar and she had to ascend a small flight of stairs.
Ever wondered how to get those luscious curls like the models on the covers of glamour magazines? If so, this post is going to be absolutely no help at all! Check out teen Tori Locklear’s hair curling Youtube tutorial video that is, um, burning up the internet right now!
It appears that MTV has asked Teen Mom 2 star Jenelle Evans to enter a 30-day treatment facility in Florida that isn’t exactly a “rehab” facility per se. Actually, Gary Head says the month-long stint is more like a “paid vacation.” Keep reading for all the information we have about Jenelle’s stay from Twitter, Facebook, and an alleged private Twitter direct message conversation with Gary. Also, catch up on Courtland’s latest Twitter rant in which he makes more claims about Jenelle, including that she once hit him with her car after she though he had cheated on her!
As we reported on Tuesday, Jenelle Evans’ husband Courtland Rogers reportedly missed his Presidents’ Day court date and is currently on the run after four warrants were issued for his arrest in Brunswick County, North Carolina. But, being on the run from the law cannot stop Courtland from his second favorite addiction in the world — feuding with Jenelle online! Keep reading to get all the latest painstakingly compiled from Twitter in an easy-to-digest timeline. (There are more accusations of drug use, photographic evidence, a brilliant Monopoly reference — remember – Courtland has supposedly traveled through 11 states — and clothes being pawned?!? )
It’s only February 22 but for fans of The Real Housewives it is already March Madness! Ryan Seacrest has been running a “Who’s Your Favorite Housewife?” tournament and the field is down to the Terrific Ten! We wanted to make sure Starcasm readers’ voices were heard so we’re sharing the poll with you. Keep reading to cast your vote (Voting is only open through Monday at 11:59PM), check out the current standings, and find out which franchise surprisingly had no finalists!
I realize a video demonstrating mad Photoshop skills isn’t something you might expect to find on Starcasm, but given that I am the resident humble Photoshopologist I just couldn’t help but share this demonstration by Deviant Art user Elemental79, who took 35 hours to convert a 320 x 240 pixel screen shot from the video game Doom into a mind-boggling high resolution 9600 x 7211 pixel Photoshop masterpiece! The devil is in the details… literally!
It appears as though the intense competition continues in The Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s Booty Pageant as pageant pro Kenya Moore has followed through on her plan to release a tush-toning workout DVD to compete with Phaedra Parks’ “Donkey Booty Workout” video. Initially Kenya’s workout DVD was to also feature a title inspired by an equine derriere (“Stallion Booty”), BUTT she has apparently changed her mind and will be releasing “Booty Boot Camp” instead on March 5. Keep reading for all the deTAILS, including a link to pre-order yours now! (Plus, there are a couple gratuitous photos of Kenya’s “Gone With The Wind Fabulous” Stallion Booty so you’ll know what you’re working toward!)
If you’re like me then watching the current season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta is leaving you feeling as though your entertainment diet is unbalanced. I’m used to consuming equal parts NeNe Leakes and Kim Zolciak, and now that Kim Z has left the building, I am nothing short of malnourished. So, I thought I might share a recent photo of Kim Zolciak packing her assets into a rather provocative swimsuit as a sort of RHOA supplement 🙂 And just to add a little more Bravo flavor, the suit is made by Have Faith, which is co-owned by Shahs of Sunset star Lilly Ghalichi! Bravolebrities of a feather stick together!
Things have been very quiet from the family of Teen Mom 2 star Leah Calvert since she reportedly gave birth to her third daughter on February 4. There was a few days of complete silence on Twitter, and although Leah, pops Jeremy, and Grandmomma Dawn have since begun tweeting again, all has been hush hush on the baby front. But, In Touch, which broke the pregnancy story on February 4, is claiming to have some more details about the new addition to the Calvert family, including a name!
We’ve just got some worrisome news out of McIntyre, Georgia. Mama June Shannon from Here Comes Honey Boo Boo just posted on Facebook that Sugar Bear has been hospitalized after experiencing chest pains on Monday. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis and held in ICU for the first night. He has since been moved out of ICU, but as June wrote, “he has a long road ahead of him.” Keep reading for the full update from June — and GET WELL SOON SUGAR BEAR!
UPDATE – Two more updates from Mama June, including that Sugar Bear has pneumonia and has been transferred to another hospital.
Check out the official cast photos and bios for The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 8, including new cast member Lydia McLaughlin! Also, I ramble on a bit about how influential this show was when it premiered back in March of 2009, and how television networks have to start titling their ensemble female cast reality shows with titles that don’t end in “Wives!!!”
“No! I volunteer! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute! er, reality show competitor?” That’s what The CW is hoping for as they officially announce the reaping casting of their new Hunger Games inspired reality competition series The Hunt!
In addition to being a burlesque dancing office manager for Frank Fritz and Mike Wolfe’s Antique Archaeology, American Pickers star Danielle Colby Cushman is also a shop owner herself, opening the doors to 4 Miles 2 Memphis right around the block from Antique Archaeology in LeClaire, Iowa on December 3, 2012. But it seems her shop, which features Danielle’s handmade clothes, printed t-shirts, and artwork as well as some of her own “picks” from flea markets and back yards around the country, had big city dreams because Danielle revealed in January that she was closing the doors and relocating it to Chicago!
80-year-old record executive Clive Davis released his memoir The Soundtrack of My Life today and the book made headlines because Clive reveals in it that he is bisexual. Clive also reveals some rather unflattering details about singer Kelly Clarkson, which Kelly was none too pleased with! After apparently holding her tongue for years out of respect and professional courtesy, Kelly unleashed on Clive today with a rather lengthy response (i.e. smackdown) setting the record straight on what actually happened!
Tonight is the Season finale of MTVs highly successful Catfish: The TV Show and in honor of this momentous occasion we thought we would share a photo of host Nev Schulman back before he had all that infamous chest hair, back when he was still going by Yaniv Schulman!
One of my favorite Starcasm graphics of all time was the Farrah Abrahamburglar created for our post about Teen Mom Farrah Abraham’s Twitter account being hacked. Little did I realize I would be able to reuse it in an even more appropriate setting! Earlier today Burger King’s Twitter account was apparently hacked and the account’s graphics and name were all switched over to McDonald’s. The first sign something was amiss was the tweet, “We just got sold to McDonalds! Look for McDonalds in a hood near you @DFNCTSC” The account has since been suspened, but keep reading for all the Mctweetegery, including the announcement of a new Bath Salt burger!
In the back-to-back premiere episodes of Gypsy Sisters Mellie Stanley’s ex Robbie reenters the picture and the two become engaged, but only after Robbie insists Mellie give up some of her wild ways — including her job stripping. But, it appears that Robbie has some wild and carefree ways of his own! Keep reading for a couple of his mug shots from 2011 when he faced charges that include robbery, assault and abduction!
MTV’s much talked about Catfish The TV Show was the highest rated new cable series on television 2012 and after a brief hiatus the series returns for it’s inaugural season finale Monday night at 11/10c. But, before Nev Schulman and Max Joseph bring us the final “What’s behind the virtual curtain” romance tale, MTV is giving everyone the chance to get completely caught up with an all-day marathon of the first ten episodes with additional never-before-seen footage as well as introductions by Nev and Max! Plus, there will be a “Catfish: The Reunion Special” after that! Keep reading for all-you-can-eat Catfish including how to apply to be on Season 2!
If you watched the season premiere of TLC’s Gypsy Sisters then you saw the bombshell revelation that Mellie’s getting married! That’s right, Mellie Stanley and her man Robbie are planning to walk down the aisle and we all know what that means… it’s another big fat American gypsy wedding y’all! And not just any big fat American gypsy wedding, this is “Hellie Mellie” Stanley we’re talking about! Keep reading to see photos of Mellie’s unforgettable wedding dress, and find out how she and Robbie are doing now!
It seems Joe Giudice isn’t the only feller from The Real Housewives of New Jersey with some serious legal issues! Caroline Manzo’s physiatrist Dr. Dov Rand was sentenced Wednesday in federal court after pleading guilty to accepting kickbacks for patient referrals to Orange Community MRI. The sentence included five months in prison, five months home confinement, two years of supervised release, and a fine of $30,000. Keep reading for all the details, including Dr. Rand’s comments to an undercover agent about his upcoming appearance on RHONJ that concluded with, “I’m going to get a lot more patients coming my way.”
Our 50th state may soon be changing its nickname to the Alo”Hey!” State because the good ol’ boys and good ol’ gals of A&E’s Duck Dynasty have infiltrated the island! And as usual the Duck Dynasty folks were more than willing to abide by the adage “When in Rome, do as the Romans do,” and as usual, the Duck Dynasty folks do as the Romans do while remaining 100% Louisianan! (Yes, that is Uncle Si and Willie with surfboards!)
Jenelle’s mood, or at least the mood she has presented on social media, has been nothing short of pleasant and, dare I say, undramatic over the last couple weeks. She seemed to be enjoying her rekindled romance friendship with her ex-fiance Gary Head, and with MTV’s announcement of the immediate return of Teen Mom 2 for a 4th Season next week, everything seemed peachy keen for the 21-year-old!
But we all know that most of Jenelle’s explosions have their genesis in romance, so how would she fare on the most romantic day of the year — Valentine’s Day? Not very well I’m afraid.
Bruno Tonioli better redneckognize because New York Daily News is reporting that Here Comes Honey Boo Boo matriarch Mama June Shannon is being looked at by producers of Dancing With the Stars as a potential contestant! Although she has lost a lot of weight recently, I just don’t think someone with “forklift foot” would have a chance. (Keep reading to find out what a TLC rep had to say about the report!)
On March 3 TLC launches its latest reality show venture with the usual quirky twist, this time taking cameras to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to follow the drama and antics of the residents of the Myrtle Manor trailer park. But don’t think for a second Myrtle Manor is your run-of-the-mill run-down collection of dilapidated portable abodes because park landlord Becky is making her dream of owning the best trailer park in the world a reality by transforming Myrtle Manor and all it’s vast array of quirky inhabitants into a 5-star resort! Keep reading to watch the three-minute-plus super trailer just released by TLC! “You mess with one you mess with the whole damn trailer park!”
If there were an Academy Awards for fast food, Taco Bell would have swept last year’s ceremony with their perfect union of everyone’s favorite nacho cheese flavored corn chip and everyone’s favorite Mexican fast food — the Doritos Locos Taco. Now the restaurant chain has announced a sequel to their critically-acclaimed blockbuster culinary masterpiece — the Cool Ranch Doritos Locos Taco!
The series premiere of TLC’s new My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding spin-off series Gypsy Sisters was only three days ago and it seems we already have casting news for Season 2! Laura Johnston’s sister-in-law and someone claiming to be her husband Gus announced on Facebook that she will not be returning to the show. “I do not want her filming no more,” Gus wrote before adding that his wife is “not going to continue with them nuts with TLC.”
Yesterday we posted a couple video clips taken from Buckwild star Salwa Amin’s arraignment after she was arrested Monday morning in West Virginia and charged with four felony counts of drug possession with intent to distribute. Thanks to WCHS TV we now have access to the entire arraignment, which was conducted live via video with a very tired Salwa still in custody at the Central Regional Jail. Keep reading for a transcript and video of all Salwa had to say during the arraignment, which includes her claim that she, the two other suspects, and the drugs were all in an “outhouse” with a separate address from the one one the search warrant. (Cue Law & Order sound effect!)
Mark Balelo, an auction house owner and occasional bidder on the A&E reality series Storage Wars, was found dead at his business in Simi Valley, California Monday morning. Balelo was in his car, which was running and parked in a garage at his auction house. His death comes shortly after a reported dru-related arrest and a couple months after reports he faced deportation for his criminal activities. Keep reading for more details, and watch a clip of Mark’s most infamous Storage Wars moment!
Video of Buckwild star Salwa Amin from the West Virginia Regional Jail and Correctional Facility explaining that “All these things that I’ve been charged with are totally wrong.” Salwa was arrested early this morning in West Virginia after officers reportedly found her and two other men in a she with three packages of heroin. According to the criminal complaint, Oxycodone was also found in Salwa’s purse.
My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding fans may have noticed some changes to Mellie Stanley during last night’s series premiere of MBFAGW spin-off Gypsy Sisters. No, Mellie is still drinking, stripping, cursing, fighting, and otherwise not holding anything back — nothing different there. The changes I’m talking about were only skin deep in the form of lots of new tattoos!
Sunday night on TLC television viewers will get to see the return of West Virginia’s resident gypsy hellion Mellie Stanley as she and the rest of the “Stanley sisters” deliver two hours of Romany drama during the series premiere of Gypsy Sisters. Judging from the preview trailer, it looks to be one hell of a ride as Nettie, Kayla and Laura hop on board the Mellie Express! But, the trailer also foreshadows perhaps the only event that could derail the inevitable trainwreck by hinting that… Mellie Stanley is pregnant?!? Keep reading to find out if it’s true, although I should probably warn you that the post comes with a serious SPOILER ALERT!
Britney Spears debuted her new baby to the public this morning.
We’ve been excited about TLC’s newest Southern reality show venture Welcome To Myrtle Manor ever since the trailer-park-based series was announced waaaaaaay back in December. But, since that time it has been crickets from the network… Until today! TLC issued a press release officially announcing Welcome To Myrtle Manor will premiere March 3 as well…
Check out all the photos from Teen Mom 2 Chelsea Houska’s NoH8 photoshoot including just released images of Chelsea with her dad Dr. Randy Houska, Chelsea with her leopard-haired pal Landon, and an adorable shot of Chelsea’s daughter Aubree all by herself!
I’m guessing Miami-Dade Circuit Judge Jorge Rodriguez-Chomat is not a fan of Bad Girls Club because he didn’t take too kindly to the unserious and disrespectful demeanor of teen Penelope Soto when she appeared before him on camera for sentencing on Monday! Keep reading to watch the amazing video as PEnelope’s antics continue to escalate, as does her bail!
The ratings have been fantastic for MTV’s West Virginia based reality show venture Buckwild, but strangely the network has refrained from confirming plans to film a sophomore season… until now! Just one day before the season finale episodes, MTV issued a press release officially announcing there will be a Buckwild Season 2. Yeeee haw!
