Selena Gomez: Avoiding Alcohol After Latest Stint in Rehab
Selena Gomez was recently spotted wearing semi-disastrous makeup. It’s also become clear that she regrets reuniting with Justin Bieber.
But she has bigger concerns, including her health. But she’s taking the steps that she needs to stay well.
Including, it’s reported, avoiding alcohol at all costs following her latest stint in rehab.
Page Six reports that Selena Gomez held a dry party at her California home last week to celebrate a friend’s birthday.
“Alcohol was not at the party.”
That’s what a dry party means.
“Selena is really focusing on her health.”
They mention that Selena did a two week stint in a luxury rehab facility, Prive-Swiss in Connecticut, back in February.
It is also mentioned that she reportedly continues to receive support of some kind from their program, though that could mean … almost anything.
“It was a family friendly party with a bouncy house and kids.”
Perhaps alcohol wouldn’t have been a good fit for that party, anyway.
In case you’re wondering if Selena has just decided that she’s done being fun, a couple of things.
One, drinking can be great, but if you need to drink to have fun, you have a problem. That’s not an insult, that’s a fact.
Two, we suspect that Selena’s focus on her health has to do with her ongoing battle with Lupus and the fact that she has only one kidney … a kidney donated to her by her very good friend Francia Raisa.
Kidneys are responsible for filtering your blood. A lot of people associate drinking with the liver, which is accurate, but heavy drinking can be hard on your kidneys.
We’re not suggesting that Selena is or has been a heavy drinker.
We’re just saying that she’s playing it safe and playing it smart because she values her life and her health.
Over the weekend, Selena joined her very good friend Taylor Swift at the Rose Bowl, which is a sporting event featuring college football.
Afterwards, Selena posted a selfie of the two of them being adorable together.
In the captions of the photo, she wrote:
“I’m grateful for those I surround myself with.”
Selena’s inner circle is very supportive.
“And this woman right here happens to be one of my favorites.”
That is so sweet.
“Love our tradition and I love you.”
Awwww!
Selena is obviously taking care of her health — her kidney transplant was less than a year ago, after all.
But some wonder if her party in California was as dry as it was for her sake, or for someone else’s.
First of all, it was a party for a friend.
Perhaps that friend is no longer drinking. Or hey, maybe a different friend who was invited isn’t drinking. A lot of people will go out of their way to accommodate those whom they love.
Or maybe there was no alcohol because it was a party featuring children. Not all parties are built alike, folks.
Someone who is avoiding alcohol for their health (or because they’re the designated driver, etc) rather than because they have a problem with alcohol can be around people drinking.
So let’s not make a mountain out of a molehill and assume that, if we see Selena toast with champagne, that she’s “off the wagon.”
But all of this is a reminder that Selena’s health issues did not go away when Francia gave her that life-saving kidney transplant.
Selena still has Lupus. And now she has to grapple with making sure that her body does not reject the donated kidney.
Her health battle will probably continue for a long time. She deserves so much better.

Offset: Is Cardi B"s Fiance Avoiding a Paternity Test? What"s He Hiding?
Celina Powell is the latest woman to claim that Offset, Cardi B’s fiance, is her baby daddy.
Cardi B and Offset both say that the woman is lying … but now we have to wonder if Offset, at least, is afraid that she’s telling the truth.
Because, to hear Celina tell it, Offset is ducking and dodging her attempts at a paternity test. If he’s not the baby daddy, why not go ahead and prove it?
Cardi B and Offset made a “sex tape” — after a fashion — and released it to the public. They’re engaged.
it’s safe to say that they have a pretty good relationship, right? But they’re facing their first real test, as a woman is claiming that Offset is the father of her baby girl.
Celina Powell doesn’t seem like she’s willing to back down, either.
After Offset sent her a cease & desist, she publicly called him out.
So it looks like she intends to hound him until he can prove in court that he’s not the father of her child.
We should mention that there’s a credibility issue.
Despite being only 22, Celina Powell has identified famous “baby daddies” in the past who turned out to not be the fathers of her children.
She acknowledged her dubious history when she shared with the world her claim that Offset is this child’s father … while assuring her fans that she’s not crying wolf this time, she promises.
Honestly, Celina’s background makes you wonder if she’s a terrible schemer — like, if she watched fake paternity scams on soap operas and wondered if they were that easy in real life.
Or if she might have other issues. Anybody else remember that girl who’s not pregnant who went on Dr. Phil claiming that she is pregnant with God’s child? Claiming random rappers as your baby daddy isn’t much more grounded than that.
But … if Offset is just another falsely accused man, then why has he allegedly balked at taking a DNA test?
At least, that’s what Celina has claimed that he’s done, after responding to a tweet inquiring about a paternity test.
“No her father didn’t accept the dna papers.”
But that doesn’t mean that she’s given up.
“But lawyers will do their job and he will take it…one day”
So … you’d think that Offset would be the one insisting on a paternity test.
Even if he didn’t want to bring one up — maybe putting on a show of absolute confidence that it’s not his for Cardi B — you’d think that he’d go along with a request, right?
Unless he’s worried about what the results might be.
That said … we have to acknowledge that we don’t know, for sure, whether or not any “DNA papers,” as Celina calls them, were actually sent to him and then rejected.
It’s a weird situation, folks.
We know that Cardi B and Offset are making a show of not believing Celina Powell’s claims about her daughter, Karma, being Offset’s.
But what if she is?
If so — and that’s admittedly a big if — what does that mean for Offset and Cardi B?
Would that make Celina just another baby mama receiving support, or might it spell doom for Cardi B and Offset’s million dollar wedding?
We’ll all have to wait before we know more. Offset included.

Counting On Cancelled?! Duggars Hint TLC is Avoiding Their Questions
Is the Duggar family being ghosted by TLC?
Fans are wondering if Counting On has been cancelled after there’s been zero official word of the series being renewed for a seventh season.
It turns out that viewers aren’t the only ones in the dark — the Duggars don’t seem to have any idea, either.
Season six of Counting On ended in October.
We’ve had no word of renewal. We’ve also had no word of cancellation.
Possible reasons for the series being renewed is that the show has a very devoted fanbase.
Not all of them are fans of the Duggars themselves, but they’re captivated by the fundamentalist lifestyle that the family lives and the drama within the massive family and its strict rules.
There’s also almost a guarantee of drama to come.
Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth got married earlier this year, but not quite so quickly that fans haven’t noticed Joy-Anna’s conspicuously huge baby bump.
Many believe that the Forsyth wedding was a shotgun wedding, and that Joy-Anna broke her family’s medieval courtship rules and that the family rushed her to the altar and is lying to the world to save face.
This would not be the first time. Remember, this is the same family that hid from the world that Josh Duggar had molested 5 young girls, including four of his own sisters.
So, yeah, covering up a “scandalous” premarital pregnancy wouldn’t exactly be a stretch.
With all of that drama and more to come, would TLC really cancel the Duggars?
Maybe.
Counting On has never done as well with ratings as 19 Kids and Counting did.
Some former viewers may have lost interest in the Duggars, or simply been frightened off by their fringe lifestyle and the reality that 19 different children had to grow up that way, and never had a chance at a normal life.
But we think that what really hurt ratings and continues to haunt the family is, again, the Josh Duggar sex abuse scandal.
And it’s not like Josh is the only source of controversy within the family.
Recently, Derick Dillard was fired from Counting On after engaging in repeated bigoted messages about trans teen Jazz Jennings, a fellow TLC star who has her own show on the network.
In general, it’s bad form to criticize a show on your own network or a star on it unless they’ve done something atrocious. That kind of badmouthing doesn’t help anybody’s ratings and will upset higher ups at the network.
In Derick Dillard’s case, though, he was insulting Jazz Jennings, misgendering her at every opportunity and bashing her existence as a young trans woman and the show itself.
TLC had enough, and fired him for it. But with the husband of one of the main stars of Counting On now banned from the series, how do they go on?
If you think that the Duggars know … think again.
This week, on the Duggar family blog, the Duggars shared their total lack of news about the fate of their series:
“Counting On has been off the air for six weeks now, and we know you all are eager to hear whether the Duggars will be returning for a new season.”
Yep.
“We have been in contact with TLC, but at this time, there are no announcements to share.”
In contact but not told anything? We’ll discuss what that means.
“As soon as there is news to give, we will post it here.”
We’re sure that they will.
“In the meantime, we’re curious to hear what you like most about the show and what other TV programs you watch, if any?”
The Duggars, famously, eschew mainstream television. We don’t think that your recs of Stranger Things or The Good Place or whatever are what they’re looking for.
They say that they’ve “been in contact” with TLC, but still know nothing.
Which sounds like, at the very least, whichever producers they’re talking to don’t know the fate of the series.
Maybe TLC is trying to figure out if they can court a new sponsor or two or figure out a new timeslot for the show that will mesh well with their other programming.
Or maybe TLC is just biding their time until the right time — when they have big news to share, or during a holiday when everyone’s distracted — to announce that Counting On will not be getting a seventh season.
We don’t know. It’s odd to hear that the Duggars are as in the dark as the rest of us.

Donald Trump Boasts of Avoiding STDs: Vaginas Are Like Landmines!
Another day, another reminder that Donald Trump is the most misogynistic presidential candidate since Franklin Pierce advocated chaining alehouse wenches to their sandwich-making stations during the election of 1852.
The past week has been filled with shocking examples of the candidate’s blatant disrespect for women, beginning with footage of Trump boasting about acts of sexual assault in a conversation with Access Hollywood‘s Billy Bush.
Now, more damaging video has emerged in the form of a 1997 Trump appearance on the Howard Stern Show, in which the real estate mogul compares avoiding sexually transmitted diseases as a promiscuous bachelor in New York to serving in Vietnam:
“It’s amazing, I can’t even believe it. I’ve been so lucky in terms of that whole world, it is a dangerous world out there,” Trump said, when asked about his dating life and his bill of health.
“It’s like Vietnam, sort of. It is my personal Vietnam. I feel like a great and very brave solider.”
Yes, the man really compared not getting herpes to serving in the Vietnam War.
Obviously, he was joking, but we’re sure there are plenty of vets who fail to see the humor in his comments.
Trump’s avoidance of military service during Vietnam has already been a source of controversy during his campaign, and the candidate has an appalling history of disrespecting veterans.
Early in his run for office, Trump stated that he believes Senator John McCain is “not a war hero,” as he was captured and imprisoned during his service.
“I like people who weren’t captured,” Trump told an astonished crowd.
The new footage couldn’t have come at a worse time for Trump’s campaign, as many are beginning to believe that his behavior toward women over the years has been even more despicable than previously thought.
In the past week, 11 women have come forward to accuse Trump of sexual assault, describing incidents that took place in different decades and in locales as varied as a flight to New York and the living room of the candidate’s Palm Beach estate.
Though the interview with Stern took place in 1997, Trump was already in his fifties at the time, and the clip has racked up tens of thousands of views on YouTube in just the past few hours.
“Every vagina is a landmine, we’ve both said that,” Stern said to Trump at one point in the interview.
“There’s some real danger there,” Trump agreed.
It’s not shocking to hear that sort of comment from Trump these days, but for millions of Americans, it remains disheartening to hear those words coming from a major party’s presidential candidate in 2016.
