Miley Cyrus Loses Home to Fire, Remains "Grateful for All I Have Left"

Miley Cyrus has penned an emotional post about the loss of something very close and personal:

Her home.

The singer alerted Instagram and Twitter followers last night that her house burned down in the massive wild fire that continues to consume significant areas of California.

“Completely devestated [sic] by the fires affecting my community,” the singer Tweeted on Sunday, explaining in more detail:

“I am one of the lucky ones. My animals and LOVE OF MY LIFE made it out safely & that’s all that matters right now. My house no longer stands but the memories shared with family & friends stand strong.”

It’s very safe to assume that Cyrus is referencing Liam Hemsworth when she writes the “LOVE OF MY LIFE.”

“I am grateful for all I have left. Sending so much love and gratitude to the firefighters and LA country Sheriff’s department!” she continued.

From there, as you can see below, Miley encouraged followers to donate to organizations that are helping folks stay safe during this very dangerous time:

“I love you more than ever , Miley,” the star concluded her post.

OVer 250,000 residents of California have been evacuated as a result of this ongoing disaster.

At last count, 31 people had died.

Other celebrities who have lost their homes, been forced to flee or just commented on the tragedy in general include Alyssa Milano, Gerard Butler, Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga.

Tweeted the A Star is Born actress:

I am thinking so deeply for everyone who is suffering today from these abominable fires & grieving the loss of their homes or loved ones. I’m sitting here with many of you wondering if my home will burst into flames.

All we can do is pray together & for each other. God Bless You.

Kardashian, meanwhile, used the stage of Sunday’s People Choice Awards to speak on the devastation that has affected her, her siblings and so many others.

“It’s been a really rough week in our home in Calabasas, Hidden Hills, and for our neighbors in Thousand Oaks and Malibu,” Kim said, elaborating in emotional detail as follows:

“Our hearts are broken from the horrific shootings and for those who have lost their lives and homes, as well as the hundreds of thousands of us that have been evacuated from the devastating fires that are currently burning.”

Continued Kim:

“As horrible as this has been, it’s been amazing to see the resilient spirit of everyone involved, and the heroism of those risking their lives on the front lines.

“Action is necessary, so anything we can do to help, as simple as donating to the many organization that are collecting supplies, no form of help is too small.

“Our country is stronger when we come together and we cannot face devastation alone.

“We must continue to reach out and help each other during these trying times.”

Amen, right?

Over 200 people have been reporting missing as a result of these wild fires.

Tragically, as winds continue to gust and the blazes continue to spread, there doesn’t appear to really be an end in sight.

We wish nothing but the best to all those affected.

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.

Jenelle Evans Twerks In Front of Her Kids, Remains the Worst

Jenelle Evans is no one"s idea of the perfect mom, but even she has her limits, right?

Sure, CPS has been called to Evans home 20 times in less than a year, but even she must draw the line somewhere!

There was a time when we might have thought so, but now that we"ve seen Jenelle twerk in front of her children, we"re not so sure.

Why did she think this was a good idea? Who filmed it? How have fans reacted to this cringe-worthy sight?

Join us as we attempt to answer these questions and more in the gallery below:

1. Jenelle Sells

Like all of the Teen Moms, Jenelle’s social media pages are a huge part of her one-woman media empire. It’s on Instagram where Jenelle shills lame-ass merchandise like the “Dude” shirt pictured here.

2. Misfire

And so, Jenelle goes the extra mile in her efforts to keep fans coming back for new and exclusive content. Sometimes those efforts pay off …

3. A Swing and a Miss

Other times, we end up with situations like this one, in which Jenelle inexplicably decided to pull over, get out of her car by the side of the road, and bust out some racy dance moves in front of her kids.

4. Kiki Fail

Jenelle was participating in something called “the Kiki Challenge” in which participants show off their best dance moves to the tune of Drake’s “In My Feelings.”

5. Children as Props

Jenelle’s no stranger to treating her kids like objects, so it should come as no surprise that she had no problem involving her kids in her Kiki submission … whether they wanted to take part or not.

6. Egomania

As a horrified nation looked on, Jenelle demonstrated her best club moves in front of her children. It’s a lot to take in, but without further ado, we give you Jenelle’s Kiki Challange …

Drake Breaks Silence on Blackface Photo, Remains Mum on Secret Son

We think it’s safe to say the previous 48 hours haven’t been particularly easy on Drake.

It all started when Drizzy got a little big for his britches and decided to attack Pusha T with an exceedingly lame diss track.

King Push was quick to send Aubrey back to the kids’ table with one of the most punishing verses in recent memory.

In the “The Story of Adidon,” Pusha went after his rival like a DA prosecuting an open-and-shut case.

Anyone who listened to the track came away with the impression that Drake had committed a number of unforgivable crimes against his fans, against his loved ones, and against hip-hop culture.

Push rattles off a laundry list of offenses, but the most egregious are made clear right from the start.

In his opening salvo, the surgical emcee accuses Drake of being a deadbeat dad, hiding his son from the world and refusing to acknowledge the adult film star with whom he fathered the child.

But the allegation Drake might have the hardest time explaining away comes not in the lyrics to the song, but in its cover art:

As you can see, that’s a photo of Drake wearing blackface makeup.

Rumors about the origin of the image began to circulate immediately after the song’s release, and while accounts differed widely, all were in agreement that it was a very, very bad look.

Last night, Drake attempted to clear the air with a lengthy description of the photo’s context:

“I know everyone is enjoying the circus but I want to clarify this image in question,” he wrote.

“This was not from a clothing brand shoot or my music career.

“This picture is from 2007, a time in my life where I was an actor and I was working on a project that was about young black actors struggling to get roles, being stereotyped and type cast.”

“The photos represented how African Americans were once wrongfully portrayed in entertainment,” Drake continued.

“Me and my best friend at the time, Mazin Elsadig, who is also an actor from Sudan, were attempting to use our voice to bring awareness to the issues we dealt with all the time as black actors at auditions.”

The revelation that the photos were taken as part of a political statement and not — as initially rumored — an advertisement for a clothing line has prompted some detractors to give Drake a pass.

Though the consensus remains that the photo was in very poor taste.

Now, fans are clamoring for Drake’s response to the negligent parenting allegations.

Something tells us it’ll be quite sometime before Drizzy sounds off on that matter.

Kylie Jenner Poses in Underwear, Remains in Baby Bump Denial

Give Kylie Jenner credit, folks.

The 20-year old has managed to pose for a new underwear campaign with her sisters…

… while STILL managing to hide her baby bump.

Jenner has been noticeably absent from the public eye for several weeks now, presumably ever since her pregnant stomach became impossible to keep on the Down Low.

The new Calvin Klein campaign in which she stars with all four of her sisters is the first time we"ve really seen fresh photos of Kylie in months.

And it"s pretty hilarious just how far Jenner and her loved ones are going to keep her midsection hidden from the camera, even while she wears very few layers of clothing all around.

Scroll down and then all around for a look through these Calvin Klein images, while also being reminded of other ways Kylie has hidden her bump from fans in this final trimester…

1. In Their Calvins

Kylie, Khloe and Kim are posing here in their underwear, while all working to shield a certain baby bump that is likely very large on one of them.

2. We Love Our Calvins!

Hmmm… we wonder why Kylie is holding a blanket in front of her belly here. Any ideas?

3. So… Many… Sisters

What? Huh? No baby bump here, Kylie Jenner is basically saying as she poses with her sisters.

4. White Wonders

The Kardashiain sisters look very sexy in this snapshot. And, hey, look at that: Khloe’s hand is helping to cover Kylie’s stomach!

5. Khloe, Kourtney and Kendall

Looking darn good, Khloe, Kourtney and Kendall! The sisters rock Calvin Klein underwear here…and nothing else.

6. Kim in Undies

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to posing in her underwear. Or to posing in nothing at all.

Jennifer Lawrence Visits Children"s Hospital on Christmas, Remains Awesome

Lots of people say they’re gonna perform some sort of charity or volunteer work during the holidays, but all too often the obligations of the season get in the way.

Which is why it’s all the more impressive when someone with as much on her plate as Jennifer Lawrence takes time out of her busy schedule to make the season brighter for those less fortunate.

Lawrence stopped by the Norton’s Children’s Hospital in her native Kentucky on Christmas Eve to spread some cheer and pose for photos with staff and patients.

It’s the fifth consecutive year that Jen has stopped by the hospital during the holiday season.

While many celebs would no doubt take to social media to inform the world of their magnanimity, Jen has made no public mention of her selfless act. 

In fact, were it not for an Instagram post from hospital staff, we might never have learned of her visit!

The photo below appeared online on Christmas Eve, along with the following caption:

“Louisville’s own Jennifer Lawrence stopped by Norton Children’s Hospital today to visit with patients, families, and staff,” the hospital shared on their Instagram page on Sunday.

“This visit has become a tradition for Lawrence each Christmas. Thank you, Jennifer! You sure do bring a smile to all!”

And, of course, Jen is generous with more than just her time.

Last year, she donated $ 2 million to the medical center.

Shortly thereafter, she announced the establishment of the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit.

Sure, stuff like this will never grab as many headlines as the rumors that Lawrence is dating Brad Pitt (she’s not, by the way), but this is the sort of thing Jen will be remembered for long after her popularity at the box office has declined.

(Not that that will be happening anytime soon.)

The impact that Lawrence has had on the young people she visits and their families is immeasurable.

Add to that the fact that there’s no telling how many millions of fans might be inspired by her stellar example and perform some of their own acts of kindness, and you start to get an idea of just how awesome Jen truly is.

We hear she’s not too shabby as an actress, either!

Jinger Duggar: Birth Control Rumors Spread as Fan Favorite Remains Childless

Earlier this week, the world learned that Kendra Caldwell is pregnant with Joseph Duggar’s baby.

As is always the case with Duggar baby news, the announcement was greeted with enthusiasm from the family’s devoted fan base–but it also reminded many of a mystery that continues to grow with the passage of time:

It’s been over a year since Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo got married, and yet the couple remains childless.

As the pregnancies of Kendra Caldwell and Joy-Anna Duggar have recently reminded us, this is highly unusual in Jinger’s family.

(Kendra and Joy both announced that they’re expecting within a few months of tying the knot. Some believe that Joy didn’t even wait until she was married.)

Thus far, all of Jinger’s sisters have gotten pregnant within a year of getting married, and some have even given birth prior to their one-year anniversary.

So it’s not hard to see why fans are growing increasingly curious about Jinger and Jeremy’s apparent reluctance to start a family.

Some have even gone so far as to suggest that Jinger is on birth control.

Like wearing pants as a woman or marrying a man whose religious beliefs don’t perfectly coincide with your father’s, using birth control is no big deal throughout most of the civilized world, but these are the Duggars we’re talking about.

They’re civilized in the sense that they sleep indoors and use silverware, but they’d be the first to tell you that their belief system bears little in common with the average American’s code of conduct.

Birth control is strictly forbidden in the Duggars’ world, and Jim Bob and Michelle have even recorded videos in which they preach about its evils.

Jinger may rebel against her parents’ teachings in small, mostly inconsequential ways (see the aforementioned wearing of pants), but finding out that she’s using birth control would likely push Jim Bob and Michelle over the edge.

Fortunately, for the most part, Duggar fans have proven to be uncharacteristically level-headed with regard to this issue.

Recently, the Duggars posted a photo of Jeremy and Jinger on their Facebook page, and the comments section quickly devolved into the usual flurry of uterine speculation.

But for every “fan” throwing shade, there were three getting Jinger’s back:

“Jinger raised kids all her life, she might not want kids or she just wants to wait,” one commenter wrote.

“Maybe they’re not waiting, maybe she’s having trouble conceiving. Give the poor girl a break, when she’s pregnant they’ll announce it,” remarked another.

“I think these two are being smart and will choose to have children on their own timetable,” a third wrote.

Is it possible that Duggar fans are beginning to let go of their judgmental tendencies a bit?

Maybe, but many of these same people will likely lose it if 2018 passes without any baby news from Jinger.

Catelynn Lowell Remains in Rehab: What"s Going On?!

Just when you thought things with Catelynn Lowell couldn"t get any sadder …

After weeks in rehab, and after reports that she"d be returning home last week, we"re now learning that she"s still in treatment.

Is she all right? Is she going to be leaving anytime soon? How is Tyler handling things?

Let"s go over what we know …

1. Crisis

Catelynn shocked us all last month when she tweeted “Well today I thought of every way to kill myself.. so I’m going to treatment.”

2. So Sad

Teen Mom fans know that she’s struggled with her mental health for years now, and that her depression got much worse after giving birth to her daughter Nova in 2015. Things got so bad that, in March of 2016, she went to a rehab facility for the first time.

3. Take Two

In a heartbreaking statement she released after her tweet, she further explained that “On November 17th I thought of every way possible to commit suicide… from wrapping a belt around my neck to just running my car into an electric pole… THANK GOD I have a support system and a HUSBAND and a DAUGHTER… thank god I am self aware… I’m seeking treatment and I WILL get better… anyone feeling alone you ARE NOT ALONE! This world needs all of us! We are all here for a reason… Thank you for your support during this tough time….”

4. Updates from Tyler

She checked into a treatment center in Arizona on November 18th, and since then, Tyler has kept us posted on how she’s doing — or at least he did in the beginning.

5. What Changed?

As the weeks have gone on, Tyler has slowly stopped giving as many updates on Catelynn’s progress — whether it’s because he had a change of heart on how much to share or because perhaps she’s not doing as well as she was, we don’t know.

6. Lockdown

A source did reveal that “She was on a 48-hour lockdown” when she first checked in, and that lockdown “included no phone usage, but now she gets to use her phone for a while every day. She’ll get more privileges as time goes on.” And she was on Twitter for a while, but there hasn’t been any activity on her account since December 7th, which could possibly be a sign that she’s back on lockdown

Louise Linton Apologizes For Being Awful, Remains Adorably Out of Touch

If you’re like most Americans, you never heard the name Louise Linton before yesterday.

Just 48 hours ago the Scottish actress’ claims to fame were appearing in the 2012 remake of the horror film Cabin Fever and marrying US Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin both revolting undertakings that no doubt tested the limits of Ms. Linton’s gag reflex.

Now, however, Louise has finally found the fame she’s spent her adult life in search of.

Unfortunately, it’s left her frantically switching her social media accounts to “private” like Marie Antoinette boarding up the windows at Versailles.

In case you missed Louise’s “let them eat cake” moment, here’s what happened:

Linton and her husband … recently traveled to Kentucky in a private jet in order to discuss tax reform with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

What former former Charlie Sheen co-starrer Louise brought to the table is anyone’s guess, but hey, this is the administration in which former handbag designers are shaping foreign policy, so anything goes.

Anyway, Woman of the People Louise posted a photo of herself arriving in Kentucky (a state in which 1 in 5 people live below the poverty line) that rubbed some folks the the wrong way.

The pic showed Linton stepping off a government plane looking like she’d been outfitted for a different kind of runway.

To ensure none of the poors got the wrong impression that she’s flying around in Target pajama pants and a neck pillow from Hudson News, Linton tagged the many high-end designers responsible for her outfit.

The hashtag “#HermesScarf” went viral shortly thereafter, but not because Twitter was so impressed by Louise’s fashion sense.

To drive home the point that she’s some sort of cartoon bad guy rich person, a la Monty Burns or Cruella De Ville, Linton attacked an Oregon mother of three who dared to suggest that her post was in poor taste.

“Have you given more to the economy than me and my husband? Either as an individual earner in taxes OR in self sacrifice to your country?” Linton wrote, in an emoji-laden screed.

“I’m pretty sure we paid more taxes toward our day ‘trip’ than you did. Pretty sure the amount we sacrifice per year is a lot more than you’d be willing to sacrifice if the choice was yours.”

She went on to slam Miller for being “adorably out of touch,” before sarcastically quipping, “Your kids look very cute. Your life looks cute.”

After what we imagine was a hilariously WTF?! reaction from her husband (who, as the producer of the Entourage movie, is a man who knows good taste), Louise issues a half-assed apology … through her publicist:

“I apologize for my post on social media yesterday as well as my response. It was inappropriate and highly insensitive,” read a statement issued by Linton’s handlers.

As you can see, the apology is boring, boilerplate, and almost certainly not penned by Louise hereself.

Really, the only reason we’re reporting on it at all is so that we can bring you the exciting news that Louise literally played Marie Antoinette in an episode of CSI: NY!

Louise Linton on CSI: NY

But that wasn’t her only gloriously apt film role.

Louise also had a few lines on the now-defunct of Cold Case.

She played a woman named Louise in an episode titled WASP!

You can’t make this stuff up, folks.

Well, you can … but who would want to?

Oh, do yourself a favor and google Louise’s memoir – a harrowing account of her post-boarding school gap year living amongst black people.

It’s the “feel awful about the world we live” in book of the year!

Lindsay Lohan Stole Thousands in Jewelry From Ex-Boyfriend, Remains Lindsay Lohan

2016 was a magnificent year for alliances between Russia and carrot-colored pop culture relics from bygone decades. Yuuuuge, really.

Unfortunately, some of those partnerships have since fallen on hard times.

It was around this time last year that Lindsay Lohan broke up with Egor Tarabasov, the Russian heir who was supposed to revive her career and turn her into the Grace Kelly of Putin country.

When Lindsay and Egor first began dating, it seemed like a match made in heaven.

Like the nation Egor hails from, Lindsay consumes several million liters of vodka each year and has been the subject of a number of international espionage allegations.

All LiLo and Russia jokes aside, it’s good that Linds was able to get out of her relationship with Egor, as it seemed deeply unhealthy for both parties.

Cheating and abuse allegations were leveled by both sides, and a seriously ugly fight between Lindsay and Egor that was captured on video underscored exactly how explosive the situation had become.

But despite the fact that Linds and Egor are nearing the one-year anniversary of their high-profile breakup, they remain inextricably enmeshed in one another’s lives.

According to Radar Online, Lindsay is currently the subject of three separate investigations involving her alleged theft of tens of thousands in property from Egor.

Sources close to the situation say Lohan was nearly arrested last month on suspicion of stealing over $ 30,000 in belongings from Tarabasov’s home, including a Rolex watch and several pieces of jewelry.

“Egor had been chasing Lindsay for months for the return of his personal belongings, but to no avail,” says a source close to the situation.

“In the end, he felt he had no choice but to go to police and formally accuse her of theft,” the insider adds.

“Lindsay had been in and out of the country, so police initially struggled to pin her down to be interviewed.”

The source claims that it was only by threatening to throw Lindsay in jail that authorities were finally able to get her attention:

“They finally got through to her after sending an email to her publicist, threatening Lindsay with arrest,” the insider says.

“It is fair to say there is no love lost between the two.”

Not surprisingly, Lindsay’s people say it was all a misunderstanding and that she’d simply borrowed some items from Tarabasov’s home and forgotten to give them back.

“Once we were informed and back in the country we happily found the belongings and gave them back. I wish the best for him and hope he can move on in his life,” said a rep for Team Lindsay in a statement issued last week.

We’re not sure who to believe, but the important takeaway here is that involvement with Russian oligarchs can lead to some messy legal situations.

If you know anyone who could benefit from that information, please tweet it along to them.
