Lil Xan Announces Plans to Enter Rehab On One-Year Anniversary of Lil Peep"s Death
Lil Xan’s stage name might be inspired by his love of prescription medications, but it seems the death of several close friends has caused the rapper to realize that recreational pill-popping can have deadly consequences.
According to TMZ, Xan (nee Diego Leanos) has announced plans to enter rehab in order to seek help for an addiction to opioids.
It’s no coincidence that he reached the decision to enter treatment exactly one year after fellow emcee Lil Peep was found dead of an overdose.
And sadly, at the age of 22, Leanos has been impacted by the opioid crisis multiple times.
Rapper Mac Miller, who died of an overdose in September was a close friend and mentor of Xan’s.
Leanos has stated that he decided to get sober not long after learning of Miller’s passing.
He says he’s recently been hard at work on an album that he describes as a tribute to Miller.
But apparently, Leanos realizes that his health needs to take priority over his work, as he announced today that he’ll be putting that project on hold in order to focus on getting sober:
“I just dropped out of SoundCloud Uni to go to rehab, I leave in like 5 days and I couldn’t be happier with this choice,” Xan wrote on Instagram today.
“I love you guys for being so supportive and can’t wait too get back clean headed ready to Finish my album!”
The decision comes just days after Xan opened up about his ongoing substance abuse issues in an interview with TMZ:
“I relapsed, and that’s common … Any other addict would understand that sh-t just happens,” Leanos told the outlet.
“You just relapse. You don’t want to. It’s a process. You need treatment and help, and sometimes that doesn’t even help.”
Xan made it clear in recent interviews that while he is not as “strung out” as he’s been in the past, he has still not achieved the sobriety he aspires to:
“I’m not completely clean. Off Xanax, yes, but I’m still weaning off Norcos [a brand of codeine-based painkiller],” he said.
While fans have been supportive of Xan’s decision, many expressed hope that he would decide to check into rehab immediately, rather than waiting until next week.
We wish him all the best as he embarks upon the long road to recovery.

Roger Mathews Celebrates Anniversary With Jenni Farley Despite Separation
Last month, Jersey Shore fans were stunned when Jenni Farley filed for divorce from Roger Mathews.
The couple was beloved by fans, and their marriage was considered by many to be the most stable among the Shore cast.
Adding to the confusion over the situation is the fact that the decision to split was not a mutual one.
In fact, it seems as though Jenni made up her mind abruptly and without warning.
Mathews has pleaded with Farley to give him a second chance in a series of heartfelt social media posts.
Of course, fans of Shore won’t be surprised to learn that JWoww is not the sentimental type and was not swayed by Rogers first attempts at a reconciliation.
But to his credit, Mathews has not given up.
This week marked three years since he and Farley got married, and he celerated the occasion by posting the photo below on his Instagram page:
“This happened 3 years ago today. 8 years together total,” Mathews captioned the pic.
“3006 days together. Not one of them was a flawless day. Not one of them would I change.
“Happy Anniversary Babe @jwoww Wedding video in my bio cause I’m a corny traditionalist.”
Obviously, Roger’s post tugs at the old heartstrings, but for all we know, Jenni is right to stand her ground.
There have been no allegations of cheating or abuse, but those who know the couple best say they’ve been showing signs of being mismatched for quite some time.
“The split was a long time coming,” one insider tells Us Weekly.
“Everyone was hoping they’d work it out, but it didn’t happen.”
Mathews seemed to confirm as much in one of his videos:
“There’s no cheating or any dumb s—t or any juicy details,” the 43-year-old recently informed fans.
“She just grew tired of the repetitive pattern that we fell into … and [it was] not a good one,” he added.
Roger went on to say that he understands his wife’s reasons for leaving — but feels that things will be different if they give their marriage a second chance:
“I don’t blame her. I’m not done fighting. I’m gonna win my wife back,” Mathews told the camera.
“I’m gonna win her affection back, I’m gonna win her love back … We’re in counseling so there is hope. it ain’t over till the fat lady sings.”
JWoww, on the other hand, has been hesitant to speak about the split.
In her September filing, the mother of two cited only “irreconcilable differences” as her reason for leaving.

Jenni Farley and Roger Matthews Celebrate Anniversary, Call Divorce Into Question
On Saturday night, Roger Matthews and Jersey Shore cast member Jenni “JWOWW” Farley went out to dinner in celebration of their third wedding anniversary.
The setting looked romantic and the two sides both looked pretty happy.
But there was just one small detail that seemed a bit off about this evening out…
… Matthews and Farley are getting a divorce.
In late September, it was revealed that Farley filed documents for this sort of legal split in Ocean City, New Jersey, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the break-up.
The official complaint read as follows:
The Plaintiff and the Defendant have irreconcilable differences which have caused the breakdown of the marriage for a period of at least six months which make it appear that the marriage should be dissolved and that there is no prospect of reconciliation.
There have been no reports since of infidelity by either party.
It mostly seems as if Farley’s busy schedule, exacerbated by new seasons of Jersey Shore: Vacation, simply got in the way of the couple spending quality time together.
But Matthews has been adamant that he can win Farley back over — and that appears to have been his intention behind this anniversary-themed dinner date.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day,” he wrote as a caption to the first image in this article.
This is a pretty clear reference to Matthews committing himself to reconciling with his estranged wife, no matter how long it may take.
Simply put, said Matthews in an Instagram video after news of the divorce went viral, “I am going to win my wife back.”
He added at the time:
“I’m going to win her affection back, I am going to win her love back.
“I have no intentions on being a single dad. We’re in counseling so there is hope. It ain’t over ‘till the fat lady sings.”
Farley and Matthews share two kids, a daughter named Meilani and a son named Greyson.
“Praying for a better tomorrow,” Roger captioned his aforementioned, continuing:
“Sorry world, I’m taking a day off from praying for you today and I’m just gonna pray for my family. Hope springs eternal.”
He sure does sound sad and sincere.
However, a source recently said that Farley has no intention of rekindling this romantic flame.
“She was just unhappy, and she wasn’t in love with him anymore,” this source told Radar Online a day after the split was confirmed, adding:
“Roger has been trying everything he can to change her mind, but her mind is made up. She’s done.”
Is she, however?
Along with the date photo above, Roger posted a video of the still-husband and wife from their evening out.
They are walking to a white, pink flower-adorned horse-drawn carriage in the footage.
“The horse, oh my God,” JWOWW says.
“Your chariot awaits,” Mathews responds. “Let me get that door for you, babe. Happy anniversary.”
“Oh, why thank you. Look at that,” JWOWW then said, spotting a bouquet of flowers.
“These are for you,” Mathews replies.
So… what do you think, folks?
Might there be some hope here after all?

Audrey Roloff Reveals Anniversary Plans in Wake of Marriage Rumors
Former Little People, Big World stars Audrey and Jeremy Roloff have shared their next career move, but they’re not all business.
Right after Jeremy admitted that their marriage has been “tough” in recent months, Audrey has taken to social media to gush about their anniversary trip.
And yes, there are photos of these two lovebirds — and of Jer’s reaction to Auj’s gift!
“It was my turn to plan our anniversary this year,” Audrey reveals in a lengthy Instagram post.
“We started switching off because we like surprising each other,” she explains. “And it was just easier for managing our expectations.”
“I booked us a night (our first night away from Ember) at the The Sentinel Hotel where we stayed on our wedding night 4 years ago,” Audrey shares..
“I remember when we checked in on our wedding night,” she continues. “Jer and I flipped out because there was a typewriter in the entry way.”
You don’t need to take her word for it — here is Jeremy’s typewriter-fueled excitement face.
“The typewriter holds a special meaning in our love story,” Auj explains. “Jeremy sent me hand typed letters throughout our years of long distance, he asked me to be his wife on the typewriter.”
“And,” she continues. “Our typewriter has been on display in every home we’ve ever lived in.”
Audrey says that having one on display serves the purpose of “reminding and inspiring us to write a love story worth reading.”
“I called ahead of time and made a request for a special anniversary message to be displayed on the typewriter upon our arrival,” Auj reveals.
The photo of Jer’s smiling face is his response to seeing the poem that was typed out on the device. Cute!
“We had the most enchanting evening in Portland,” Auj says. “And I finally got to experience the Multnomah Whiskey Library.”
“Of course we ended the evening reading our anniversary letters,” Audrey continues. “The ones we wrote to each other on our anniversary last year.”
“It’s our favorite anniversary tradition,” she shares.
Naturally, Audrey plugs their marriage blog: “You can read about some of our other favorites in our most recent post on @beating50.”
The name, of course, refers to their desire to beat the odds that suggest that at least half of all couples get divorced.
“Jer and I celebrate our anniversary as if it’s a national holiday,” Auj gushes.
She says: “We are firm believers that love, of all things, should especially be celebrated.”
“So no matter how inconvienent,” she writes. “We are inentional about carve out time on September 20th to reminisce the past year, dream for the future, and recommit to the promises made on our wedding day.”
“And,” Auj continues. “As our favorite quote from our favorite book says… ‘If it’s half as good as the half we’ve known, here’s Hail! to the rest of the road."”
“Happy anniversary Farmer,” Audrey says. “Let’s keep living”
As we mentioned, on their actual anniversary of September 20, Jeremy wrote a tribute to his wife and marriage but made an admission.
“These have been tough months recently,” Jer wrote. “But hard work always pays off.”
He gushed: “I love you and I love writing a love story with you.”
Whatever their recent trials, whether it’s finding out how to stay afloat without the show, dealing with family drama, Auj’s alleged feud with Jeremy’s brother, or hidden marital squabbles, things seem okay for them.
It’s great that they’re celebrating their anniversary like this — but we’re sure that they’re looking forward to being reunited with precious baby Ember.

Amy Roloff Celebrates Anniversary with Chris Marek, Posts GORGEOUS Photos
Amy Roloff has officially won this week.
We’re just gonna go ahead and call it now.
That’s what happens when you get to celebrate both a birthday and an anniversary mere days apart, spending time wth those you love and counting your blessing at every turn.
Indeed, the Little People, Big World star turned 52 years old on September 17.
She marked the occasion by gathering with close friends and family members, as documented in THIS PHOTO GALLERY.
Fast forward mere days and Amy marked a different special occasion with someone who may someday be a family member;
Long-time boyfriend Chris Marek.
As you can see above and below, in some rather intimate and downright gorgeous pictures, the TLC matriarch and her man got together on Saturday to celebrate two years as a couple.
Wrote Amy as a caption to these images:
Anniversary! What? Where did two years go?
It’s been a wonderful adventurous and full of lovely special moments of dating with this guy. So looking forward to the tomorrow’s and days ahead with him.
She concluded her heartfelt post with the hashtags:
#dating #anniversary #lotsoftime #lotsoflove #youandi #lifeisgood.
Marek is in the real estate business and, by all accounts, is a very nice guy who gets along very well with Amy’s children.
Sadly, however, for reasons that continue to defy our comprehension, so-called fans of Roloff don’t just give Marek a hard time…
… they say some really dumb and cruel things about the guy.
We’re not kidding around here.
We mean some REALLY dumb and mean things.
Thankfully, Amy keeps ignoring the haters and the trolls and just keep enjoying what she refers to as her “second act.
A much-deserved second act, we’d like to add.
Amy and Matt Roloff divorced back in early 2016.
They released an amicable statement at the time and have maintained a healthy relationship ever since.
Matt is seriously dating a woman named Caryn Chandler and both halves of this couple has moved on successfully, having established romances with their new significant others.
In this spirit, we’re just gonna go ahead and wish Amy and Chris all the best, while sending them our congratulations and posing one simple question to Marek:
When are you gonna put a ring on it, man?!?

Amber Portwood Celebrates Andrew Glennon, One-Year Anniversary
Amber Portwood and Andrew Glennon have achieved a milestone.
The Teen Mom OG star and her boyfriend have now been together for a year.
And they’ve been going strong for that year, as well.
This relationship has been surprisingly drama-free, which is terrific for Amber and Andrew, even if it’s disappointing for a website such as this one that subsists on scandal.
“One year from yesterday I met this amazing man and it is truly a dream!” Portwood captioned an Instagram photo of Glennon Wednesday, August 1.
She then added simply:
“Happy 1 year Anniversary baby.”
Portwood met Glennon back when she was filming Marriage Boot Camp with former fiance Matt Baier.
Amber, of course, was a member of the Teen Mom cast back then, while Glennon worked as a cinematographer and producer on the program.
According to Amber and Andrew’s telling, the latter reached out to Portwood after production wrapped and the pair proceeded to hit it off.
(Of course, according to various reports from several months ago, Portwood and Glennon actually slept together during the filming of this reality show.
They made their red carpet debut at the MTV Video Music Awards in August of 2017, as you can see below.
As for what Portwood sees in her man?
“[Andrew] doesn’t hit me or cheat on me so yeah I treat him like a real man,” Amber wrote in February of this year, taking a swipe at past lovers perhaps and adding:
“If you are a liar and cheater yeah bless your soul lol and get out of my way.
Three months after Portwood and Glennon alerted the world to their romance, they then dropped an even bigger bombshell.:
Amber was pregnant!
Portwood, who also shares a nine-year-old daughter named Leah with ex-fiancé Gary Shirley, gave birth to son James in May of this year.
To date, his photos look adorable and we hear he’s happy and healthy and precious and we continue to be so very happy for Amber and Andrew.
Now a year into their relationship, one question continues to hover over Portwood and Glennon:
When will they get married?
Heck, WILL they get married?!?
Portwood responded to this question in March when the topic was broached by Us Weekly.
We “haven’t talked about marriage or anything like that,” she replied at the time, concluding:
“We’re happy where we’re at. If it happens, it happens and there’s no rush.”

Tori Roloff Posts Ultimate Anniversary Tribute to Husband
The competition is apparently on between Tori Roloff and Audrey Roloff.
On Father’s Day this year, Audrey gushed and gushed and gushed over her husband, Jeremy, praising him for his faith and his dedication to his family.
It was an incredibly sweet message.
But Tori may have just topped it.
On the occasion of her third wedding anniversary, Tori has gone ahead and made it impossible for any other spouse to ever wish a happy anniversary to his or her spouse ever again.
Why?
Because he or she will never be able to surpass the sweetness of Tori’s message about Zach.
“I just can’t quite comprehend how I get to live out my life next to this man. Zach you are hands down the best husband I could ever ask for,” the TLC star wrote on Instagram last night alongside the picture above.
The Little People, Big World twosome originally said, “I do” in front of approximately 200 people in a Roloff Family Farm ceremony on July, 25 2015.
Just under two years later, they welcomed a son named Jackson Kyle into the world.
Continued Tori in her tribute:
“I’m so thankful for your grace and your patience. You help me be a better version of myself every single day. I love your heart and your thoughtfulness.
“You are always quick to put others before yourself and it’s something I truly believe the world needs more of.”
Man. Is it getting misty in here or is it just us?
Tori recently confirmed that she and Zach are either trying for a second child right now or will be in the near future.
She sounds very excited to give Jackson a sibling.
But not as excited as she was on Instagram to talk up her husband of three years.
“You are always quick to put others before yourself and it’s something I truly believe the world needs more of,” she wrote of Zach, concluding with a flourish:
I have loved watching you become a dad and it’s made me fall more in love with you. Marriage isn’t always the easiest thing to do but I’m thankful I have the best partner in life to navigate it and make it stronger every day.
I have so enjoyed these last three years and I can’t wait for many many many more happy years with you. I love you babe uh.
Happy anniversary zachys! #storyofzachandtori
We love it.
Just so honest, open and romantic.
Tori and Zach met back when the former was working on the Roloff farm in 2010.
“I was working at Roloff Farms during pumpkin season as a greeter and one of our co-workers introduced us,” Tori said on Little People, Big World awhile back.
Added Zach at the time:
“[We] just started talking and she kept coming over. Her being average height, me being a dwarf, people obviously stare…
“She was my first kiss. It was an epic night. It was on the roof of the swamp fort. Full moon right above us. Like, primetime. It was prime.”
These two are prime.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Ariana Grande Pens Beautiful Tribute on Manchester Bombing Anniversary
Tuesday was the one year anniversary of the May 22 Manchester Arena bombing that left twenty-three people dead and hundreds wounded.
Ariana Grande had already performed a powerful trubute to the victims and her fellow survivors just two days earlier.
To mark the anniversary, she sent out a much more direct message.
Ariana tweeted from the heart, writing:
“Thinking of you all today and every day.”
Here she included a bee emoji, or beemoji. The bee is the symbol of Manchester.
“I love you with all of me.”
She is so good and so pure.
“And am sending you all of the light and warmth I have to offer on this challenging day”
There is no easy or perfect way to address a tragic terrorist bombing that left dozens of children injured or dead.
Some would just put up an image in memory of the fallen and of the shattered lives.
After all, there are situations for which words fail.
Others would pen a miniature essay, hoping that if they say enough, they can somehow live up to the gravity of the anniversary that they are mourning.
But Ariana kept her tweet short and simple. She said what she needed to say.
Besides, she had already said so much in a recent interview.
Last week, Ariana spoke to Time.
“There are so many people who have suffered such loss and pain. The processing part is going to take forever.”
Trauma can last a lifetime.
“Music is supposed to be the safest thing in the world.”
She is so sweet.
“I think that’s why it’s still so heavy on my heart every single day.”
Remember, she’s a fellow survivor of that terrible suicide bomber’s attack.
“I wish there was more that I could fix. You think with time it’ll become easier to talk about. Or you’ll make peace with it.”
We know that it might sound fake, but recovery from trauma is possible. But it takes time.
“But every day I wait for that peace to come and it’s still very painful.”
Earlier this month, Ariana and Mac Miller broke up.
That is not in any way comparable to the trauma of surviving a terrorist attack, but that has to be on her mind, too.
However … she may have a distraction from her last relationship. In the form of her new relationship.
According to People’s report, they have been able to confirm that Ariana is casually dating Pete Davidson.
Pete is part of the cast of Saturday Night Live. In fact, when he joined, he was the youngest person ever cast on SNL.
He is also frequently brought up in internet arguments about which person on SNL is the most attractive, though he, like everyone else, generally loses to Kate McKinnon.
According to the reports, Ariana and Pete’s relationship has “just started.”
And it is said that “it’s very casual.”
The two were even spotted togther at the Billboard Music Awards.
“After Ariana’s performance, they were backstage and he had his arm around her.”
Awww!
“They seemed very lovey-dovey. He was hanging out with her and her friends with his arm around her. She seemed quite smitten.”
This sounds so cute. Ariana Grande deserves good things.
We hope that she’s finding comfort on this very grim anniversary.

Little People, Big World Recap: An Adventurous Anniversary
Amy Roloff leaped out of an airplane on Little People, Big World this week.
But the overarching question on the latest installment of this TLC series was this:
Will she and boyfriend Chris Marek take a different sort of plunge down the line?
Will they take a leap of faith and love and actually get married?
The topic hovered over the episode because Amy and Chris celebrated their one-year anniversary on air.
“I’m like, one year already? Damn we did a lot, this went by fast,” Roloff told the camera at one point, adding:
“We’ve just been having a good time together, simple things, big things. I really like and enjoy being with him.”
That’s been clear for awhile now.
Amy has constantly updated her Instagram page with photos of herself and Chris, often including the hashtag #amyssecondactcontinues and ignoring the trolls who hate Marek.
We’re actually nearing the two-year anniversary of Amy and Matt Roloff finalizing their divorce, a development that still has ramifications for each primary party.
It’s clear the split, following over 25 years of marriage, still effects both Amy and Matt significantly.
“Divorce was a very traumatic chapter in my life,” Amy said last night, explaining further:
“I didn’t think I would ever even want to be that vulnerable with someone again. But now being with Chris, I like the fact that I’m able to open up myself to someone else.”
Does this mean there really is a long, long-term future:
As in: Could wedding bells be ringing down the line for Amy and Chris?
“My relationship with Chris means the world to me, but nothing is written in stone right now,” she said. “Especially because he initially said he wanted to take it one day at a time.”
Well, sure, fine. Initially.
But now it’s been a year (or over a year, really, considering this episode was filmed in the middle of 2017) now and Marek is very obviously committed.
Perhaps to prove this point, Marek agreed to go skydiving with Amy in celebration of their anniversary, a decision that Amy said is symbolic of her boyfriend and her romance overall.
“I think the biggest difference in this relationship versus my marriage, is that Chris brings out the adventurous side of me that has been on hold for me for many years,” Amy said.
Added Roloff:
“I’ve always been adventurous, but what Chris does is open me up to new things.
“I don’t really remember doing a lot of this with Matt. He was just so focused on work or doing projects. Being aggressive is good, that’s how you get to do the things you want to do.
“But you have to realize it can come at a cost. And I think it definitely came at a cost.”
This wasn’t really a shot at Matt, either.
Considering Matt’s girlfriend, Caryn Chandler, made the same point during the episode.
“Work is in Matt’s DNA, it always will be,” Chandler told the camera yesterday evening, expounding as follows:
“I actually love that drive in him. He can get carried away, anyone can get carried away. But he loves to work – it’s kind of his hobby.”
Despite Matt’s job responsibilities, Caryn made it her mission for them to get away and take day trip to the beach on the installment.
“I really like and appreciate the fact that she wants to spend personal time with me,” Matt said.
“It really warms my heart. Amy and I had some compatibility when the kids were born. But looking back after the kids were gone, we realized we don’t really have a lot in common and we are different people.
“We are very different people. So it feels good to be in a situation where you feel compatible on many levels.”
The theme of Amy versus Matt continued in this case, with the latter reflecting on his marriage and his post-marriage life:
“I have to figure out how to tame the best. Just [Caryn’s] energy soothes the savage beast.
“My passion has gotten in the way of my personal life over many, many years, and it sometimes that’s a detriment to the people around me. But I don’t want to make the same mistakes as I did with Amy.
“Caryn soothes me tremendously in that she knows how to balance me.”
Elsewhere on this episode, Zach wanted to prove his love for Tori, while Audrey grew nervous… just two weeks away from delivery of her baby.
