Jamie Otis Suffers Another Miscarriage, Remains Determined to Have a Baby

Jamie Otis is a woman on a mission.


But that mission has taken another tragic turn for the terribly unfortunate.



The former Married at First Sight cast member, who is the mother to a beautiful daughter named Gracie and who suffered a miscarriage in 2016, confirmed on Sunday that she experienced a chemical pregnancy just days after she posted a picture of a pregnancy test that she hoped was positive.


This is such heartbreaking news.


“Sorry I’ve been MIA, this very bizarre positive pregnancy test then negative test then faint positive lines gave me hope that Gracie was going to become a big sis in 9 months,” wrote the ex-TLC star, adding as part of a caption to the photo above:


“But the night before last I began having terrible contraction-like pains & spotting.”


Otis is a nurse. She had a strong feeling about what this meant.


“Then over the night full blown everything – if you know what I mean,” she continued.


“I’m a nurse so I had my suspicions; but my midwife confirmed I had a chemical pregnancy.


“I don’t know why some people have it seemingly SO easy to get preggers & carry their babies to term and others struggle?”



There’s no answer to this question, of course.


It’s just a very unfair aspect of life.


(For those wondering, a chemical pregnancy is defined as an early pregnancy loss that occurs shortly after implantation of a fertilized egg. The exact cause is unknown.)


Referring to her daughter and to husband Doug Hehner, Otis put on an impresively brave face and continued:


“What I do know is that I am so, so thankful for this little girl [and her daddy] right here. It’s like she knew mommy was in so much pain bc she just wanted to be held and snuggled all night long.”


Otis had shared a photo of what looked like a positive pregnancy test on Instagram on Friday, August 31.


“If I stare long enough I see the faintest ‘+’ sign,” she wrote, asking followers to send “baby dust, prayers & positivity” her way.



Jamie and Doug met on the first season of Married at First Sight.


And the former emphasized in this same Instagram post that she isn’t done trying to give Gracie a brother or sister.


Showing gratitude to her fans for their “prayers & positive energy,” Otis wrote:


“We have to wait a cycle before trying again, but I am on a mission to make Gracie a big sis now. …has this happened to anyone else where you go through a loss & then all you want – the only healing thought – is to become pregnant with a healthy pregnancy?!


“This happened to me after our sweet Johnathan & the same feelings have come back.”



Johnathan is the name Jamie and Doug gave their son who they lost after Otis was pregnant with him for four months.


They honored him in moving fashion about a year later.


Otis concluded her latest post by thanking her fans as follows:


“I feel like I have a million sisters/friends who i call my ‘frans’ right here & I appreciate you, your prayers, your thoughts & words of love for me & my little family more than you’ll ever know!”


We send our thoughts and prayers to Otis and Hehner.

Blac Chyna: Determined to Get with Kanye West?!

We’ll say one thing about Blac Chyna — girl has some hustle.


For the past several years, she’s worked on climbing her way up to … well, we’re not sure exactly where’s she’s climbing. To fame? To fortune? To the mythical land of the Famous Baby Daddies?


It’s hard to say.



But we do know that she had a relationship and a child with Tyga, back when he was an up-and-coming rapper, and then she had another relationship and another child with Rob Kardashian, arguably one of the richest and most famous male reality stars.


She’s trading up, but she’s trying to keep it in the family, you know?


So it just makes sense that there are oodles of rumors these days that Chyna is looking to land herself yet another famous Kardashian (or Kardashian-adjacent) guy.


Yep, we have another story about this girl trying to sink her claws in none other than Kanye West.


We first heard of Chyna setting her sights on Kim Kardashian’s husband last month, when a source explained that she’d been “cooking up ways to spend more time with him, hoping to make a move when Kim’s not around.”



“Poor Rob had no idea,” the source said then. “He’s been played like a total fool by Chyna, who’s been laughing at him behind his back the whole time they were together and openly going after other men.”


“But hitting on Kanye was a low blow even by her standards.”


So awful, right? But still, not unimaginable.


After all, it would just sort of fit with her pattern if she went for Kanye, wouldn’t it?


And judging by this new report from Star, she’s definitely still going for him.


An insider says that “Chyna is finished with Rob, but she’s not about to slink off into obscurity” — perish the thought.



“She’s been crushing on Kanye for years, and now that he and Kim are hanging by a thread, she sees her opportunity to move in for the kill.”


Remember a few years ago when Chyna and Kim were best friends? Yeah, that makes this idea even more icky.


The source goes on to explain that “Chyna is fame-hungry and hell-bent on staying relevant. She told her friends that Kim and Kanye are as good as over, so why shouldn’t she go for him?”


Let’s see, maybe because of morals? Kindness? Respect? Any of those things ring a bell?


We didn’t think so.


Alas, the source calls Chyna “crafty” because “she’ll call Kanye to vent about Rob but then drop in things to stroke his ego.”



“Chyna will tell him that he’s such a brilliant artist and he deserves a strong relationship and a devoted woman. She’s planting seeds.”


OK, so a few things need to happen here.


One, Blac Chyna needs to back up and consider that perhaps she should start thinking less about what guy she’s going to get with next and instead start thinking about why she feels the need to act this messy.


Two, Kim needs to come get her man and straighten this out.


Three, cage match.


And that’s just the way it has to be.

Prince: Cause Of Death Officially Determined as Opioid Overdose

His April 21st passing was sudden, and a shock to fans.



Today, law enforcement officials received back toxicology reports that confirm Prince’s death.


“Tests show that Prince died of an opioid overdose, a law enforcement official has said,” the Press Association tweeted before 12:30pm ET.


Prince was found in the elevator of his Paisley Park home in Minnesota.  In the weeks leading up the incident, the 57-year-old singer has been suffering from flu-like symptoms, friends said.


Nearly a week before his death, Prince overdosed from Percocet (which sources claimed he had a “history” of abusing) while flying home from an Atlanta concert.  


His plane had to make an emergency landing at an Illinois hospital, where the singer was given a “save” shot.


According to TMZ, the full medical examiner’s report will be released tomorrow, June 3rd.


The DEA found prescription bottles in Prince’s position at the time of death, according to NBC.


During a press conference, officials said they did not suspect foul play and there had been no obvious signs of trauma.



“The information we have for now is he was last seen at 8 p.m. on Wednesday night,” the official told reporters.


“Staff members at Paisley Park were unable to locate Prince yesterday, and went to check on him.”


Carver County Sheriff’s Department’s Chief Deputy Jason Kamerud told E! News in late April that authorities were “continuing to investigate the circumstances of Prince’s death.


“The ME will provide toxicology results with her findings. I expect it to be a few weeks before we have her report(s).”


A local station alleged that prior to his death, Prince was seeking outpatient treatment for his addiction, but nothing was confirmed.


A source claimed that he had refills set up at different local pharmacies so as not to get caught with more prescriptions than he was prescribed.


Prince had no children and was unmarried at the time of his death.

Michael Cavallari: Official Cause of Death Finally Determined

After his December 10th passing, authorities took an educated guess about the cause.



Almost two months later, it’s been officially determined that Michael Cavallari died of hypothermia, as initially suspected.


The autopsy report came out today from Utah’s Grand County Sheriff’s office, according to TMZ.


Cavallari went missing after Thanksgiving, and his body wasn’t found until almost two weeks later in the desert, three miles from the nearest road.  


His car was still running when officials came across it in a ditch, and the theory is that Cavallari got out of the car and went walking for help.


Unfortunately, December temperatures in that area of Utah dipped into the teens at night, and only reached thirty during the day.


No evidence of drugs or alcohol was found, despite Cavallari’s publicized struggle with substance abuse and run-ins with the law.


On November 23rd, just a few days before his disappearance, Cavallari was arrested for threatening a woman with a gun.  


Shortly after being released from police custody, Cavallari left Los Angeles.  Where he was headed remains unknown.


In early January, Kristin Cavallari made reference to her older brother’s death, as well as the birth of her daughter, Saylor.


“2015 brought my sweet, baby girl but it also took my brother’s life,” Cavallari wrote.


“Hoping for no extreme highs and lows this year.”
