Justin Bieber: Spiraling Out of Control? Again?!?

According to most recent reports, Justin Bieber is a very happy man these days.


How could he not be, right?!?


The singer has found faith and religion and, most importantly of all perhaps, the woman of his dreams.



Bieber and Hailey Baldwin are at least engaged and maybe even married and the singer seems very content with where he’s at in life right now.


But is this really the case?


There have been a handful of under-the-radar cases and sightings of late that have some close to the artist thinking he’s actually struggling and perhaps spiraling very far downward once again.


To wit, as initially outlined by Page Six:


– In August, Bieber was spotted looking disoriented while shopping shirtless in Tribeca.


– He was also seen crying on the West Side Highway bike path the same day.


– Then, Justin went to a music festival in the great city of Grand Rapids, Michigan… only for a video to surface online of Bieber acting jittery and shaking while meeting fans there.



We’re not sure how to quantify these examples.


We’re not sure what they mean.


Maybe nothing at all.


However, Bieber has sort of been here before.


Remember when he visited a brothel in a Rio de Janeiro in 2013? Or when he had drugs confiscated aboard his tour bus in Sweden that same year?


Then, of course, there was his drunk driving arrest in 2014, which marked a low point for Bieber.


Earlier this year, manager and close friend Scooter Braun said he thought Justin might die while he was going through this dangerous and irresponsible stretch.



But Bieber then found solace in Hillsong, the Evangelical megachurch that draws 9,000 devotees to its concert-like services at Hammerstein Ballroom in Midtown.


He became a fervent devotee, Tweeting several months ago of the changes he made to his life:


“Jesus is changing me from the inside out everyday!”


Friends and loved once have since vouched for the star, saying he truly has seen the light.


“He’s come a long way,” said New York City-based tattoo artist JonBoy. “It’s amazing how much he’s changed and how much God has done.”


Now, though, the concern is that he has rushed into his romance with Baldwin and has lost his way once again.



Bieber’s team, for instance, was caught WAY off guard by the couple’s alleged marriage.


The stars have not yet signed a prenuptial agreement, meaning Bieber’s $ 275 million fortune could be on the hook if something goes wrong.


It’s notable, many believe, that pastor Carl Lentz has not congratulated Bieber on his engagement or his marriage.


According to TMZ, the pastor and the singer had a falling out after the latter dedicated himself more to Baldwin than he did to religion this summer.


Does this mean Bieber will get arrested again for drunk driving or curse off fans again in the street or generally act like a jackass? 


Not necessarily.


But we’ll be keeping a close eye on him moving forward.

Demi Lovato: Losing Control of Her Life While in Rehab?!

It’s been over a month since Demi Lovato suffered a heroin overdose that nearly claimed her life.


During that time, the singer has been proactive about seeking the sort of treatment that might prevent her from coming so close to tragedy a second time.



These days, Lovato is in rehab, and sources say she’s fully devoted to the hard work of recovery.


Not only has Demi checked herself into an in-patient treatment facility in Arizona, she’s also been making regular trips to Chicago to meet with the team of therapists who helped her to get sober for the first time, six years ago.


Of course, in some respects, it’s easier for someone in Demi’s position to put everything on hold in order to focus on self-care.


After all, most addicts don’t have the luxury of taking months off work and checking into a pricey rehab center.



But in other ways, Lovato’s battle with substance abuse is complicated by her wealth and fame.


Sources close to the pop star say all the touring and performing made it easier for her to fall back in with the wrong crowd, and it was reportedly one of Demi’s backup dancers who provided her with the drugs on which she overdosed. 


Now that Demi is taking a break from presiding over a one-woman media empire in order to focus on herself, she has to trust that the people she’s hired will uphold their responsibilities in her absence.


And sadly, it seems she may have placed her trust in the wrong people.



“Her bodyguards have taken over her house,” a neighbor of Demi’s told Radar Online this week.


“They’re the same two men who are with her around-the-clock when she’s home,” the source adds.


“They have been living at her house since she was hospitalized.


The insider says not only do the men appear to be treating the property as their own, they’ve also invited multiple female guests to join the party.



“They’re there and so are two women who are possibly their girlfriends or wives,” the source adds.


“Demi must really trust them because these two men have taken over her house completely and haven’t left since she was hospitalized.”


Unfortunately, it seems there’s little that can be done about the situation, as Demi placed her trust in her bodyguards, and no one wants to alarm her with reports of their behavior.


Here’s hoping the guys don’t do too much damage to the place.


Lovato fans are a passionate lot, and you really don’t want to make them angry.

Farrah Abraham Is an Out of Control Drunk, Friend Claims

Last month, Farrah Abraham was arrested at the Beverly Hills Hotel after allegedly attacking a male staff memberl.


The former Teen Mom OG star was intoxicated at the time of the incident, and now, a longtime associate is claiming that Farrah is hammered more often than not these days.



You might remember Phoebe Price from … well, we’re not really sure what the hell she’s known for.


According to IMDB, she’s an actress with credits in such cinematic classics as Shoot Me! and Stripperland.


So basically, her life sounds like a Troy McClure joke from The Simpsons, and that’s good enough for us.


Anyway, Phoebe has apparently does appearances with Farrah from time to time, and they run in the same sad social circle, so Ms. Price has witnessed quite a bit of bonkers behavior over the years.


“You know, I was not surprised at all,” Phoebe said of Farrah’s arrest in a recent interview.


“Because this is what, like the sixth run in with the Beverly Hills Police?” 



Yes, it seems Farrah has managed to conceal quite a few brushes with the law.


Phoebe is more than happy to share the details, but unfortunately, it’s tough to tell just what the hell she’s talking about.


“She almost got arrested up here at Barry’s,” Phoebe claimed.


“He decided not to press charges. That’s the only reason that she didn’t go to jail that night.”


It seems that no one is quite sure who or what Phoebe is referring to when she says “Barry’s,” but whatever the case, some serious sh-t went down at the residence or place of business that’s owned by or named after Barry.



Anyway, Farrah’s troubles go well beyond the incident at what might have been Barack Obama’s house.


Price went on to talk about the time Farrah’s car got stolen and the cops couldn’t be bothered to investigate, as they’ve long ago written Farrah off as the town drunk.


“The Beverly Hills Police would not do anything about it,” Phoebe said.


“So, I really think they have a grudge against Farrah. But, I know when she drinks, she’s outta control, and after the Barry’s incident, she said she was going to stop drinking.”


She added:


“And, you know, Farrah needs to get help.”



Yes, obviously Phoebe is not the first to point out that Farrah is in desperate need of professional help.


But she seems to know more about Farrah’s rampant boozing than the rest of us do.


Could her love of the sauce be the cause of all of Abraham’s erratic behavior?


Probably not, as we’re pretty sure Farrah is insane even when she’s stone sober.


But yeah, dousing that bonkers brain in a daily gallon of Chardonnay probably isn’t helping the situation.

Jim Bob Duggar: Using Money to Control His Family?

We all know that Jim Bob Duggar likes to maintain control of his massive family. Religion, isolation, and allegedly abuse are parts of that.


Another part may be his wealth. Fans believe that he has a strategy to keep his married children from straying too far.


Are fans right? Is he bribing his adult children to stay close to home in Arkansas?



As we all know, Jim Bob’s grand design for humanity involves women not working except as obedient wives, dutiful mothers, and reality stars.


In this economy, after a couple of decades of wage stagnation, supporting a massive family of children on only one income can be positively brutal.


But fans think that they know how married Duggar children remain afloat despite the expenses of life.


It’s more than just asking daddy — sorry, their father and former owner — for a handout.


They suspect that he uses the money to control them. Specifically, to control where they live.


Let’s look at a few examples. We’ll start, of course, with the worst of the batch.



By the worst, we of course mean Josh Duggar, whose recent return to social media did not go over well.


When Josh Duggar married Anna, Jim Bob rewarded that ill-fated (and yet still enduring) union.


Josh and Anna moved into a house in Fayetville that had belonged to Grandma Mary.


That house was only 15 minutes by car from the Duggar compound. But Johs and Anna didn’t stay there forever.


Josh got a job with the Family Research Council, which the Southern Poverty Law Center designates as a hate group, To do that job, he moved to Maryland.


When news broke that Josh had molested 5 little girls, including his own sisters, that his family had covered it up, and that he had cheated on his wife, he lost his job.


Josh and his family now live in Siloam Springs, which is about 20 minutes away from Jim Bob.



Now, we know that there isn’t the clearest connection between Jim Bob and their move back home.


Maybe Josh wanted to be around the only people who wanted anything to do with him — which happens to include a few of his former victims.


But Jill was the next to get married. She tied the knot with notorious homophobe Derick Dillard in 2014.


After they were married, Jim Bob allowed them to reside in his 4,000 square foot, 4-bedroom $ 1.5 million “mini-mansion” property.


Many fans believed that this “gift” may have been intended as a leash to keep the couple close to home.


It is unclear if they had to pay rent or not, though Derick has implied that they did. Now that they have returned from their misadventurous mission trip in South America, they are living closer to where Derick went to school.



Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald have lived in the Fayetville home that was once inhabited by Josh and Anna.


In fact, Jim bob surprised Jessa and Ben by renovating the property while they were on their honeymoon.


They must have been happy with it, because they have lived there for the past three-and-a-half years.


Ultimately, they ended up paying Grandma Mary just one dollar for the home.


(So that’s how Millennials can save up to buy a house — just have rich relatives who give one away!)



Not everyone seems to live on Jim Bob’s dime, however.


Joy-Anna Duggar and Austin Forsyth lived in an RV, if you can imagine … but only while a property that Austin already owned was rennovated.


When Gideon was born, they went ahead and moved in, even though the house remained a fixer-upper.


In the mean time, 28-year-old John David, 28-year-old Jana, and 18-year-old Jason are already homeowners … but Jim Bob does not permit them to live away from “home” until they are married.


Not everyone is a denizen of Arkansas, however.


Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo have put down roots in Texas.



So … are fans right?


We would never accuse Jim Bob of being a nice person or a good parent, but it sounds like he provides his married children with homes when they need them.


He might use any financial support as a means of control, but he uses all kinds of methods to control his family.


Nothing about the real estate uses strikes us as particularly devious or unusual for a family with the means that the Duggars possess.


But … we never know what conversations take place behind the scenes. Fans may still be right.


The Duggars don’t talk about money that much, but they definitely care about it.

Kelly Clarkson Makes Emotional Plea for Gun Control

Kelly Clarkson seemed like an unusual choice at first to host the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.


She"s a singer, after all, not a comedian or even an especially notable performer.


Only a few minutes into her monologue, however, it quickly became clear on Sunday night that Clarkson was the right woman for the job.



Not because Clarkson told jokes and not even because she sang an impressive medley of hits, even though she later did exactly this.


But because the original American Idol is a Texas native and was therefore the ideal celebrity to stand up and talk about last week"s tragic school shooting in Santa Fe.


"I’m a Texas girl and my home state has had so much heartbreak over this past year.


"Once again, y’all, we’re grieving more kids that have died for absolutely no reason at all,” Clarkson said as the MGM Grand venue was lit black at the start of this awards ceremony.


On Friday, 10 people were shot and killed at a high school in Texas, while 13 others were wounded.


“Tonight they wanted me to say that obviously, we want to pray for all the victims and families," Clarkson continued.


"They also wanted me to do a moment of silence and I’m so sick of moments of silence. It’s not working, obviously.”



Instead, therefore, Clarkson chose to be loud when it comes to this topic, not quiet.


"Why don’t we stop moments of silence and do a moment of action? Why don’t we do a moment of change? Change what’s happening, because it’s horrible.


"Mommas and daddies should be able to send their kids to school, to church, to movie theaters, to clubs. You should be able to live your life without that fear."


Clarkson is a mother of four young kids, two to whom she gave birth and two she took under her care upon marrying Brandon Blackstock.


She went on:


"We are failing our children, we’re failing our communities. We’re failing their families. I have four children.


"I can’t imagine getting that phone call or knock on the door. So instead of a moment of silence, I want to respect them and honor them with tonight y’all in your community, where you live, your friends, everybody.


"Let’s have a moment of action, let’s have a moment of change."



Clarkson"s speech will no doube engender controversy.


Plenty of viewers out there were probably standing and applauding, while others were probably wishing a music awards ceremony would stick to handing out music awards.


Prior to moving on and joking about how she isn"t qualified to host anything, Clarkson concluded:


"I hate talking about it but you have to talk about it or no change is going to happen."


Amen, right?

Jenelle Evans Slams Maci Bookout Over Gun Control: I"m Blocking You!

It’s been nearly two months since David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2, and Jenelle Evans still seems hell-bent on following in her husband’s footsteps.


Rather than just keeping her love for firearms on the down-low for a little while (which you’d think would be easy, as she showed zero interest in guns prior to marrying Eason), Evans is going all-in.




First she publicly announced that she had joined the NRA, apparently for the express purpose of pissing off her critics.


Shortly thereafter, she upped the ante by becoming the latest public figure to antagonize the Parkland school shooting survivors for having the gall to not want to get murdered.


Jenelle and David attacked Emma Gonzalez with a pair of bizarre memes that served to both mock the teen activist’s appearance and spread dangerous fals information about her alleged involvement in the shooting.


(Side note: Gonzalez was “involved” in the shooting only as a victim, and if you believe otherwise, please remove yourself from the internet for the good of mankind.)



For obvious reasons, her comments weren’t terribly well-received by fans.


When one fan commented that the post causes Evans to come off as extremely ignorant, Jenelle replied, “It’s called sarcasm.”


The exchange is insteresting not only because it demonstrates that Jenelle literally doesn’t know the meaning of the word scarcasm, but also that it shows how deep in the tank she is with her fellow hard-line gun enthusiasts these days.


Jenelle insists that her intentions were purely comedic, but what seems much more likely given her previous comments on the issue is that her goal was to disparage Gonzalez in a way that would enable her to hide behind the “duh, satire!” defense when criticized.


One person who didn’t fall for the routing was Jenelle’s Teen Mom franchise colleague Maci Bookout.



Maci didn’t respond to Jenelle’s post directly, but did tweet a link to an article about how dumb and dangerous those memes mocking the Parkland teens truly are.


It was a genius, as Jenelle’s facade immediately cracked and she inadvertently that revealed that this not a matter of pure comedy for her, but rather a propaganda campaign that she takes very seriously:


“I’m sorry Maci, I’m blocking you!” Jenelle commented. “This is ridiculous.”


We’d say the score is Maci 1, Jenelle 0, but Evans has been at the bottom of the Teen Mom rankings for so long that everyone stopped keeping tabs.


Watch Teen Mom 2 online to remind yourself of the ways in which the Carolina Hurricane has only gotten more ridiculous with age.
