Abby Lee Miller Returns to Dance Moms, Still Unable to Walk

This summer, we reported that Abby Lee Miller was holding Dance Moms auditions despite continuing to undergo chemo treatments.


Now, those auditions have borne fruit.


Despite fears that she will never walk again, Miller has returned to work — and is filming for Dance Moms.



On Tuesday, November 6, Abby Lee Miller shared this photo on Instagram.


“Grrrrrrrr!!!!” she wrote in the captions. “Back to the daily grind.”


That means that she is officially back to work filming Dance Moms.


It has been more than a year and a half since she departed the show (which was a couple of months before she reported to prison).


“Comment if you can guess what we’re shooting today?” she asks her fans.


She also shared a weirder pic.




Abby Lee Miller wheelchair shenanigans


Then there is this photo that we would be at a loss to explain without the caption.


“I think this dancer is finished making QUICK CHANGES from 1 Costume to another!!!” Miller captions the pic.


It’s a very goofy photo and, without that context, we’d never have guessed that it was a costume change.


Miller concluded her caption: “Thanks to all for a great day of work!”


Well, that’s certainly a behind-the-scenes look that you don’t see every day.



Abby Lee Miller is no longer staying in rehab.


As you can see in this photo (which has been edited, but she’s fighting cancer and it’s very understandable), she enjoyed pumpkin season.


Unfortunately, reports say that Miller’s departure from rehab in September had less to do with being on the mend.


They had more to do with money.


Receiving around-the-clock care is expensive.


Now she is at home and remains unable to walk.



From the beginning, before she was even diagnosed, her Burkitt lymphoma manifested in the form of creeping paralysis.


Doctors initially assumed that she had an infection, and performed an emergency spinal surgery.


Upon examining her spine, however, doctors discovered that she did not have an infection, but a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma known as Burkitt lymphoma.


Burkitt is generally found in children, where it has a high recovery rate.


This fast-spreading cancer is rarer in adults, where recovery rates are said to be somewhat lower.



The good news is that fast-spreading cancers are typically more receptive to treatment than slow-spreading but resilient cancers.


That is a small comfort, but you take good news when you can.


Adding insult to injury, Miller was still at a halfway home when she received this diagnosis.


That’s right. Last summer she entered prison to begin serving her 366-day sentence.


She hadn’t yet been fully released by the state of California (a halfway house is not freedom, folks) before she began this serious cancer battle.


We’ve been deservedly harsh on Miller, but she does not deserve to be fighting for her life.



But now Miller is back to work.


We hope that her health will continue to improve.


Her wig is very close to her natural hair and it looks like she’s approaching Dance Moms with a positive attitude.


Sometimes, that’s all that you can do.


We should note that Lifetime has not yet announced a return date for the hit reality series.

Lil Xan: I Don"t Want to End Up Like Mac Miller But I Can"t Quit Drugs!

It’s a frightening time for young celebrities, as an epidemic of addiction and substance abuse is claiming lives in Hollywood at an astonishing rate.


Over the course of the past year, a number of promising lives have been lost or forever changed by opioids and other prescription pills, and it seems that there’s no solution to the problem in sight.




In July, Demi Lovato’s near-fatal overdose left fans praying for the singer’s recovery.


(Lovato recently celebrated 90 days of sobriety.)


The death of Mac Miller in September stunned the hip-hop world and left many of his fellow artists thinking twice about lyrics and lifestyles that glorify substance abuse.


One such artist is Lil Xan.



Xan is so steeped in modern hip-hop drug culture that his stage name is a reference to his former substance of choice.


The 23-year-old recently opened up to TMZ in a surprisingly candid new interview in which he discusses his conflicted feelings toward drugs and the music that glorifies them.


The rapper says he’s kicked his addiction to Xanax, but is still “weaning” himself away from other pills.



In the interview, Xan reveals that he sold drugs before making it big in music.


But he also insists he was a drug dealer with a conscience and quit dealing when the often-fatal Fentanyl hit the scene.


“My friends were taking it; they were puking. I was like I can’t … I’m out the game,” Xan says of his decision to retire from dealing and focus on music.



Xan says that like Demi, he’s capable of long periods of sobriety, but notes that he is currently off the wagon.


“I relapsed, and that’s common … Any other addict would understand that sh-t just happens,” he tells TMZ.


“You just relapse. You don’t want to. It’s a process. You need treatment and help, and sometimes that doesn’t even help.”



“It has to come from within. That’s what I’ve learned,” Xan says.


“I’ve gone periods of like six months clean of everything. And that was because of me. I wanted to be clean.”


When the interviewer states that Xan is “clean now,” he corrects her:


“I’m not completely clean. Off Xanax, yes, but I’m still weaning off Norcos [a brand of codeine-based painkiller],” he says.



Xan says he is currently not in rehab, but is living in seclusion “in the forest.”


He adds that he plans to remain in hiding until the release of his upcoming album, which he has described as a tribute to his “hero,” Mac Miller.


We wish Lil Xan all the best in his recovery.

Ariana Grande: SLAMMED For Skipping Mac Miller Tribute Concert!

Back in September, rapper Mac Miller passed away from an overdose after years of battling addiction.


Last night in Los Angeles, fans, loved ones, and colleagues from the music world gathered together to pay tribute to the late emcee.




John Mayer, Travis Scott and Chance the Rapper were among the A-listers who performed, but one star was noticeably absent.


Miller’s former girlfriend, Ariana Grande, opted out of participating in the evening’s festivities.


On social media, some Miller fans were critical of Grande’s decision not to participate, with many pointing out that the concert was both an opportunity to pay tribute to the late musician and a fundraiser for arts education.


Others took note of the fact that Grande paid tribute to Miller on Instagram, where she posed with his beloved dog while wearing a hoodie he designed himself:

“She is still deeply grieving and chose to pay respect in her own way,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.


“Ariana is now focusing her time and energy on her music and upcoming tour, which she is very excited about,” the insider adds.


“It’s what Mac would want.”


Miller and Grande broke up in May after more than two years of dating.



There was no mention of either that relationship or Miller’s fatal substance abuse issues during the concert.


On stage, artists paid tribute to Miller through music.


Mayer performed a cover of Miller’s “Small Worlds” while Vince Staples and Anderson Paak both performed songs on which they collaborated with Miller.


Between songs, friends spoke of their fondest memories of Miller, with Chance the Rapper offering one of the night’s most memorable moments:



“Mac, thank you for so many different things,” the emcee said of his late friend.


“Thank you for the music you made; thank you for the music that you provided other people with, for the opportunities that you provided me with, but overall, for the friendships that you built through your music and through your artistry.”


Along with several other performers, Chance credited Miller with inspiring him as an artist and a performer, but most importantly as a human being.

John Miller: Who is This Dude Dating Jennifer Garner?!?

Jennifer Garner stars in the new HBO series Camping.


According to most television critics, it is awful.


But here’s a piece of good news for the actress…



… she is reportedly in a very happy and healthy relationship!


According to Us Weekly sources, the beloved star is dating a 40-year old businessman named John Miller.


What his lacks in originality, his personality more than makes up for with how much he apparently cares about Garner.


“They’ve been together six months – and it’s getting pretty serious,” one insider tells the aforementioned tabloid, while another chimes in as follows:


“Jen brings out the best in John, and he is the happiest he has probably ever been. It’s a loving, healthy relationship.”



Garner, of course, has been romantically linked to Ben Affleck and Ben Affleck only for over a decade.


The stars were married and they share three kids together and, finally, after many years of going back and forth, the famous couple’s divorce was just finalized this fall.


Affleck, as you likely know, moved on a long time ago, having semi-recently dated both Lindsay Shookus and Shauna Sexton.


But Miller is the first lucky gentleman to be associated with Garner since she became single.


Just who is John Miller, you are likely wondering?



He is the CEO of CaliGroup, a company that owns Miso Robotics and a chain of about 50 CaliBurger restaurants.


Like Garner, he was previously married. And he’s very well off.


Garner and Affleck got married in 2005 and went on to welcome three kids: Violet, 12, Seraphina, 9, and Samuel, 6.


They announced their separation one day before their 10th wedding anniversary, and both filed for divorce in April of 2017. The case was finalized on October 4.


At last.



Affleck has publicly struggled with an addiction to alcohol.


He checked into to rehab for the third time just a few weeks ago, with Garner earning universal praise and acclaim for sticking by his side throughout this difficult time.


She has never bad-mouthed Ben to the press and has never threatened to take his children away or anything of that nature.


She is clearly a great person.


Heck, just this past Father’s Day, while Affleck was off sleeping with some other woman, Garner wrote the following online:


Our kids are lucky to have a dad who looks at them the way you look at them and loves them the way you love them, @benaffleck. #happyfathersday #threeluckykids #haveagreatday.


She’s the best.


Treat her well, John Miller.

Ariana Grande Pays Tribute to Mac Miller One Week After Pete Davidson Split

It’s been one full week since the world learned that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have ended their engagement.


The reasons for the split remain mysterious, though some ugly rumors about Pete’s behavior in the final days of the relationship have made their way across the social media landscape.




The only thing insiders seem to agree on in accounts they’ve offered to the media is that the death of Mac Miller played a role in Ariana’s decision to end her relationship with Pete.


Grande and Miller dated for over two years and parted ways not long before the singer began her relationship with Davidson.


Last month, Miller died of an apparent overdose after struggling with addiction for several years.



In the wake of her ex’s passing, Grande has made it clear that despite the dissolution of their romantic relationship, her love for Miller remains intact.


And she’s once again reminded fans of that fact with her latest Instagram story.


Grande posted a video she shot at last year’s Academy Awards.


In the video, Miller is seen joking and smiling with Grande’s mother and grandmother backstage.



“I should have worn that for the night,” Miller jokes while watching an interview with a flamboyantly-dressed Elton John.


At that point, Miller turns to Grande and laughs.


The singer overlaid the video with a small heart as a symbol of her affection for the departed rapper.


It’s not the first time that Ari has paid tribute to Mac in the weeks since his passing.



After grieving away from the public eye for several days, Grande broke her silence last month when she posted the above video of Miller with the following caption:


“i adored you from the day i met you when i was nineteen and i always will,” she wrote.


“i can’t believe you aren’t here anymore. i really can’t wrap my head around it. we talked about this. so many times. i’m so mad, i’m so sad i don’t know what to do.”



“you were my dearest friend. for so long,” she continued.


“above anything else. i’m so sorry i couldn’t fix or take your pain away. i really wanted to. the kindest, sweetest soul with demons he never deserved.


“i hope you’re okay now,” Grande concluded “rest.”


Our thoughts go out to Ariana and all of Mac’s loved ones as they continue to mourn the passing of an incredibly gifted young man.

Pete Davidson Accused of Taunting Mac Miller With Intimate Photos of Ariana Grande


In the wake of news that Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have broken up, fans are understandably consumed with curiosity.


What could have caused such a seemingly intense romance to flame out?


Sources close to the couple say the timing just wasn"t right, but it"s not hard to see why that explanation doesn"t sit well with the public.


After all, Grande and Davidson were engaged; they laid on the PDA at every opportunity, and they seemed to be madly in love.


From the outside, it looks as though some sort of precipitous event must have preceded the breakup.


And now, a new round of reports has Davidson accused of some truly monstrous behavior …




1. A Surprise Romance

Pete and Ariana’s relationship came as a surprise even to those who knew the former couple best.
