If you don’t recognize My 600 Lb Life star Justin McSwain in these recent photos, we can’t blame you. Justin’s latest before and after pics reveal a transformation that rivals the most complete we’ve ever seen from the show’s cast. So where is Justin McSwain now? And how is he doing? Read on for the wonderful news!

We’ve got the complete LHHATL Season 9 cast ahead of the show’s return next month, along with social media info for each, and plenty of tea about the newbies. It looks like there will be three major new names this year, and the headliner among them has apparently been beefing so hard with a veteran that one of them refuses to film with the other.

We’re only a couple of weeks away from the Corey Feldman movie truth official release, and Feldman has been making the publicity rounds to detail some of the allegedly explosive accusations in the documentary. In a recent interview on The Domenick Nati Show, Feldman claimed he was once nearly mowed down by monster trucks in an attempt on his life. Feldman also said that the apparent assassination attempt was one of two that he’s survived in recent years.

The high-profile Texas attorney handling the My 600 Lb Life lawsuits promised us “more to come” in an exclusive interview with Starcasm, and that promise has been fulfilled once more. In a surprise Jeanne Covey update, the divisive Season 7 star becomes the fifth My 600 Lb Life cast member to sue Megalomedia as well as the rest of the show’s producers. Jeanne and her mother, Barbara Fallaw, make many of the same allegations as the previous four cast members to sue — and further claim that Megalomedia reneged on a promise to pay approximately $70,000 in medical bills for the pair.

We’ve got a wonderful update on My 600 Lb Life star Chay Guillory, who is no longer just engaged to her fiancé Patrick! That’s right — this past weekend, Chay and Patrick went and got themselves married in a quiet ceremony!

JEZEBEL – Despite yesterday’s relatively stunning news of Harvey Weinstein convicted of rape, many outlets are still choosing to call him a “disgraced former mogul” (or words to that effect). But now there’s a legal basis for saying it: Harvey Weinstein is a rapist

DLISTED – Vanessa Bryant, widow of Kobe Bryant and mother of Gianna Bryant, has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the helicopter company and pilot in charge of the aircraft that crashed on January 26th, taking the lives of her husband, daughter, and seven other people

THE BLAST – Beyonce brought everyone in the Staples Center to tears yesterday after opening the memorial to Kobe and Gianna with her songs “XO” and “Halo”

CELEBITCHY – It seems the British royal family, after issuing a petty statement declaring that Harry and Meghan will no longer be able to use the term “Royal” to describe themselves after leaving the palace next month, was not at all pleased when Harry and Meghan issued a counter-statement pointing out that they’ve been treated rather differently than the rest of the royal family of late

VOX – Amazon to the US Senate: “No, our workers are not *forced* to pee in empty water bottles stashed in the dark corners of Amazon warehouses like spoons at the malt syrup factory in Slaughterhouse-Five. They simply *choose* to pee in those bottles, which are nearer than the bathroom — and they can use them to pee *any time* they want”

LAINEY GOSSIP – If you haven’t seen the tweet from Gigi Hadid’s that reduced Jake Paul to a YouTube silhouette with a mere handful of followers, do yourself a favor and check it out

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – “Prosecutors Drop Charges Against Former Mob Wives Star Drita D’Avanzo; Drita’s Husband Lee D’Avanzo is Indicted by Feds”

GO FUG YOURSELF – The Heather and Jessica from GFY have a new book coming out this summer and it sounds like an especially delightful, timely, & trashy beach read (the latter in the best sense)

REALITY TEA – Just like the name Below Deck Sailing Yacht, you will never convince me that the names of these people are real and were not simply conceived by algorithm

THE BLEMISH – Yeah, Michael Bloomberg is creepy AF

The latest Brianne Dias husband news appears to confirm what Brianne herself recently told us. Starcasm broke the story of the My 600 Lb Life star’s husband’s infidelity; now, Brianne says she’s on her knees “praying” for Rick’s return, even as he seems to be preparing for a divorce from his wife of eight years.

CELEBITCHY – Steven Spielberg’s daughter Mikaela has announced she wants a career performing in adult films. Mikaela is 23, so her decision isn’t exactly Reese Witherspoon’s daughter from Big Little Lies announcing she’s auctioning off her virginity to fight climate change. Also, the coverage of Mikaela’s announcement is a bit misleading: she’s told her parents she’ll be “starring in her own solo porn videos,” something that’s hardly uncommon anymore

REALITY TEA – NeNe Leakes is trying to get more of your attention (and to distract you from her boring non-presence on RHOA this season) by claiming she doesn’t “get any sympathy” despite having struggled with personal issues for the past year

THE ASHLEY’S REALITY ROUNDUP – In addition to apologizing for being a White Lives Matter supporter, Bachelor contestant Victoria Fuller would like to say sorry for her just-resurfaced 2017 DWI arrest. The way the show is now setting her up as this longtime heartbreaker and having other people come on to warn this season’s Bachelor about Victoria makes me think the producers knew all about Victoria’s past. Maybe the vetting for major network reality TV is more thorough than on basic cable

DLISTED – Turns out Forever 21 isn’t going into the bankruptcy black hole after all — the chain has been saved by a last-minute purchase by three other fashion companies, who announced that they’re keeping open almost all of the brick-and-mortar stores

VOX – Mike Bloomberg had such a bad night at Wednesday’s Democratic debate that he’s resorted to tweeting out hopelessly doctored footage making him look sharp and the five other candidates as dolty and unprepared as Bloomberg actually was

GO FUG YOURSELF – Good luck un-seeing Kendall Jenner as Gumby in this green outfit. She also looks like a moon base CEO in a mod-era B-movie, something that kind of describes her public role in the Kardashian family these days

THE BLAST – There’s a movie called Dream Horse coming out in a couple of months, and honestly I’m only including this early look at the trailer in the links post as a reminder to everyone reading…

LAINEY GOSSIP – …that it is actually a movie about a real-life horse, and not a dramatization of the story of the French soccer player who needed twelve stitches after an opponent bit his dick during a match. The biter has been suspended from playing for five years; the bitee was ordered to stay home from work for four days (which works out to one day per three stitches, and seems like not nearly enough time for a dick bite of such magnitude)

THE BLEMISH – The NFL is trying to cram two more games into the regular-season schedule — something the league has long desired — by taking the long view and proposing that the schedule first increase from sixteen games to seventeen

JEZEBEL – The answer here is “No. No, this pair of Crocs modeled after fried chicken is not OK”
