Amber Portwood turned down porn offer according to brother Shawn

ByDarren O

Way back in January of 2011 we reported on Teen Mom vet Amber Portwood having allegedly been offered $500,000 by Vivid CEO Steve Hirsch to film a p0rn. At the the time, even while Amber was down spiraling towards her decision to opt for jail, the idea seemed pretty far-fetched. Now, in light of the Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom insanity that has resulted from Amber’s alum, Farrah Abraham, doing just that with the same company it doesn’t seem so off the charts that Portwood very well may have received an offer. Amber’s greatest defender, her brother Shawn, pointed out the fact that even while at the lowest point of her life, Amber had the fortitude to refuse the easy money from Vivid. All of this had us thinking… Perhaps Amber’s choice to elect for prison will eventually turn out to be a wiser one than Farrah’s decision to film and release a p0rn.

Why did David and Jackie Siegel build “Versailles,” the largest house in the US?

ByStarcasm Staff

The Siegel Family’s Orlando Versailles, an unfinished house that will be the biggest in the U.S., has become a symbol of the economic times.

The drug is essentially a neurotoxin that “freezes” the muscles of the face reducing the appearance of wrinkles, and preventing new ones from forming. It usually lasts a few months, but over time the effects may be lessened and not last as long.
