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.

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.”

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton Celebrate One-Year Anniversary!

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost one full year since we first learned that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are dating.

In the months since the Gwake bomb dropped, there have been countless rumors of Shelton and Stefani getting engaged, but thus far, we still haven’t seen a ring on Gwen’s finger.

But that’s not to say the couple doesn’t have plenty to celebrate.

Just 18 short months ago, Blake and Gwen were both married to other people.

Now, The Voice co-stars are head over heels for one another in a way that has fans (and eye-rolling haters) anticipating a wedding announcement any day.

We don’t know exactly when they hooked up for the first time, but we’re still a couple weeks shy of the date when Blake and Gwen confirmed they were dating on social media.

But that hasn’t stopped the couple from gushing about their 12 months of bliss in recent interviews:

“I was thinking about that because I feel like last year at this time, I went and took my kids to go see The Sound of Music for my birthday,” she recently told People magazine.

“You do that. You go, ‘Where was I last year?’”

Gwen avoided going into specifics, but it’s clear that her feelings for Shelton haven’t diminished over the past year:

“I can’t say anything but I’m so blessed,” she says about her relationship with Shelton.

“It’s just crazy how much happened, you know what I mean? So many beautiful memories.”

The couple is already celebrating their upcoming one-year milestone with some trips down memory lane.

They recently took Gwen’s kids to Disney Land and even swung by Gwen’s childhood home in Anaheim while they were in the area.

In the clip below, Gwen presents a compelling case for the argument that celebrities stop maturing at whatever age they became famous, as she goes full adolescent-fangirl over her own childhood home:

Gwen Stefani Visits Her Childhood Home

We get that it’s exciting to visit the house where you grew up, but Anaheim is like a 40-minute drive from LA, and … Gwen does know she’s rich and can make that trip whenever she wants, right?

Anyway, fans are already speculating that the couple will follow that up with a trip to Shelton’s childhood home in Oklahoma, where Blake will pop the question.

Obviously, neither party is confirming that particular rumor, but the singers say they appreciate all the fan interest in their romance.

“I was saying yesterday to somebody, I really feel the love, you know what I mean? It’s hard to put into words, but it’s a really cool thing to have that.”
