Selena Gomez: Has She Settled Her Feud with Mom over Justin Bieber?
Sometimes, relationships can leave a family divided. Though the fact that Selena Gomez’s mom was hospitalized over her seeing Bieber again makes this family squabble an extreme case.
For a while now, Selena’s feud with her mother over her rekindled romance with Justin Bieber has kept the two at odds.
But fans think that Selena’s new Instagram post means that the two have made nice. Have they? If so … where does that leave Bieber?
So, a quick refresher.
Remember how Selena Gomez wasted some of the best years of her life … sorry, remember how Selena dated Justin Bieber off and on for years despite his alleged substance abuse issues and reported emotional issues and well-documented bad behavior?
A few years ago, they finally broke it off “for good” … until a few months ago.
See, Justin had seen the story about Selena’s life-saving kidney transplant. Lupus has been taking a brutal toll on her body, folks.
And apparent, it took seeing how bad his ex’s condition really was for the Biebs to realize how much le really cared about Selena.
He called her mom to beg for her number, just to talk. Well, one thing led to another.
Since their reunion, Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber have been in couples therapy. They have a lot of issues to work past if they’re going to stay a couple.
And it was that — learning that they’re in therapy together — that sent Selena’s mom, Mandy Teefey, over the edge. To the point where she was (voluntarily) hospitalized for a short time.
We don’t think that their reunion seemed real to her until she learned about the counseling. And then she had to have wondered if she’d doomed her own daughter to repeat past mistakes.
Selena and her mom have had other conflicts, including a pretty intense one several years ago, when Selena decided that she was an adult and didn’t need her mother to be her manager anymore.
But it looks like Bieber’s presence in Selena’s life has pushed her family to the breaking point. Until now. …
Selena posted this photo with the caption:
“The home I grew up in, from birth to 13…”
Apparently she doesn’t own the house, because she added:
“(no one was home when I knocked this time lol) I visit this place every chance I get.”
It says good things about your childhood when you go back, as a millionaire adult, to do anything other than purchase it and personally bulldoze it.
“In many ways it very well could have been better than my life today, but I’m grateful for a voice that can enable change today.”
Childhood, for those who enjoyed it, can be a simpler time with fewer stresses.
“Even when I don’t know how to do it well or actually want it. I love you Grand Prairie. Thank you.”
Technically, Selena doesn’t mention her mother in that.
But she’s still talking about her childhood home, while sitting on the little old porch.
She grew up with her mom, so what else could she be contemplating, one wonders, than the importance of her relationship with her mother?
Up until now, there have been indications that Selena Gomez wants to mend things with mom but not at the cost of Bieber.
Have her priorities changed?
Maybe … maybe not.
Just because two loving family members reconcile or are thinking about reconciling doesn’t mean that either of them have changed their minds.
It just means that they’ve decided — maybe — that their relationship and bond is more important than their topic of disagreement.
Really, if Mandy Teefey wants to see them break up, she should just wait for Justin to screw things up on his own.
Hopefully, if he does, and Selena sees that he’s not magically a different person just because he’s going to fancy celebrity church now, she’ll back out before she’s once again in too deep.
But Mandy Teefey must worry about the potential toll that dating Bieber could take on Selena’s mental and emotional well being. And her physical health, quite frankly. She still has Lupus, folks.

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: Custody Fight Settled! See How Much Rob Has to Pay!
From that first week of Rob Kardashian’s revenge porn meltdown against Blac Chyna, we’ve been predicting that he’s going to pay dearly for it.
And by “pay,” we mean pay. With cash. To Blac Chyna.
Well, Rob and Chyna have settled their intense custody dispute, and based upon the details … it looks like we were exactly right. This is gonna cost Rob a lot.
Right after the Fourth of July, Rob Kardashian went on a positively Presidential social media rant in the wee hours of that Wednesday morning.
It seemed that he simply could not resist his impulses, and he’s going to be paying for that for a long, long time.
We imagine that he has some regrets.
During that rant, Rob complained that Blac Chyna was cheating on him — despite the fact that they were no longer together.
The biggest deal, though, was that Rob Kardashian posted private, nude images of Blac Chyna — of her butt, her breasts, and one that was pretty much just of her vulva.
Classy guy, that Rob.
That’s not just against Instagram’s policies — for which Rob’s account was shut down (and still doesn’t seem to be back up, which is fair); it’s a little thing called revenge porn and it could get Rob in a lot of trouble.
It definitely didn’t help that Rob, after Instagram shut him out, dumped those images on Twitter to make sure that even more people saw them.
Blac Chyna responded by breaking her silence and accusing Rob Kardashian of domestic violence during their relationship.
That is an extremely serious accusation.
What has followed has been a struggle to reach a custody settlement over their daughter, Dream Kardashian.
Dream, who is 10 months old, should always come first.
TMZ reports that the Rob-Chyna war that has raged in the media and in court has reached a settlement at last.
They’ve agreed to join custody.
TMZ specifically reports that they’re told that Rob “gets a skosh more than 50% custody,” and your guess as to what that means is probably as good as ours.
Apparently, Rob was initially refusing to pay more than $ 10,000 per month in child support. Blac Chyna wanted more … allegedly as much as $ 50,000.
(Which, for a non-rich person, sounds like plenty … though admittedly, most of us don’t need nannies during our careers or security to keep fans at bay)
In the end, though, Rob reportedly agreed to double his offer.
Blac Chyna gets $ 20,000 a month, every month, to support Dream. Also Rob will pay her legal fees from this courtroom struggle, which obviously do not come cheap.
As part of the agreement, Blac Chyna is dropping any domestic violence charges againt Rob.
A chunk of that money that Rob’s paying in support will apparently go directly to nannies.
According to our research, the normal annual salary for a nanny is $ 25,000 per year.
That probably runs higher in L.A. (because everything does; that’s how cost-of-living works), and even higher for celebrities.
But … unless 10-month-old Dream needs a team of, like, 8 nannies, which we cannot imagine that she does (4, each with reasonably short shifts, or even 6 with normal shifts and working two at a time, would be way more than enough. 1 or 2 is more realistic) … we imagine that some of this money is just Rob paying the price for his actions.
Sometimes, justice is dealt out in settlements instead of court rulings.
We don’t know if that’s the case here, but … everybody gains something from this.
None of this news is going to change Blac Chyna’s image as a gold digger.
But if your digging successfully leads to gold and you get that gold … does it really matter what other people think?
And Blac Chyna got Dream, who is almost impossibly adorable, for her efforts — whether they were gold-digging or whether she genuinely felt affection for Rob in the first place.
After this settlement, though, we have to wonder how many Kardashians and Jenners will be telling Rob that they told him so.
Those who don’t will, we imagine, just be biting their tongues.

Scheana Marie-Brandy Glanville Feud: Finally Settled?
Before she joined the cast of Vanderpump Rules, Scheana Marie was gained a modicum of infamy as one of the women who slept with Eddie Cibrian while he was still married to Brandi Glanville.
If you"re familiar with this crowd, you know the story:
Cibrian went on to marry LeAnn Rimes, and Scheana swears she didn"t know he was married.
Understandably, Brandi is no huge fan of Scehana"s, but it seems like years later, she might finally be coming around to the idea that it"s Eddie who"s to blame.
If you watch Vanderpump Rules online, you know that this season hasn"t been particularly kind to Scheana.
Not only is she dealing with her divorce from Mike Shay, the other ladies in her clique are being less than kind.
Ms. Marie has enjoyed plenty of sympathy on social media, and it seems like even Brandi is team Schena these days
On last night"s Watch What Happens Live, Andy Cohen asked Scheana how she feels about Brandi offering some kind words in a recent interview.
Scheana says the turn-around made her jaw drop, and she went on Twitter to thank her former rival…
…only to find that Brandi still has her blocked.
Looks like this hatchet isn"t completely buried just yet.
Watch the clip below to see Scheana"s reaction to Brandi"s stunning endorsement.

Gretchen Carlson Lawsuit: Settled for HOW MUCH?!?
Gretchen Carlson is set to dismiss her lawsuit against ex-Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes.
For a very pretty set of pennies, that is.
Back in July, Carlson filed a sexual harrasment suit against her former employer, alleging in legal documents that Ailes propositioned her for sexual intercourse…
… and then punished her on the job front after she turned down his advances.
“Ailes has unlawfully retaliated against [her] and sabotaged her career because she refused sexual advances and complained about severe and pervasive sexual harassment,” a portion of the lawsuit read.
Carlson was let go from her role Fox & Friends in 2013 and then her contract was not picked up this past June.
She also named former colleague Steve Doocy in her lawsuit, writing that he “regularly treat[ed] her in a sexist and condescending way” when they worked together.
Carlson went on to accuse Doocy of “engaging in a pattern and practice of severe and pervasive sexual harassment” that was the equivalent to treating her as “a blond female prop.”
She was seeking an undisclosed amount of money for what she went through at Fox News.
And now Vanity Fair confirms that she’ll be walking away with $ 20 million.
Ailes will reportedly be paying for a portion of this settlement figure.
Carlson even received an apology as part of the company’s statement in announcing the end of this legal matter. It reads as follows:
“21st Century Fox is pleased to announce that it has settled Gretchen Carlson’s lawsuit.
“During her tenure at Fox News, Gretchen exhibited the highest standards of journalism and professionalism. She developed a loyal audience and was a daily source of information for many Americans. We are proud that she was part of the Fox News team.
“We sincerely regret and apologize for the fact that Gretchen was not treated with the respect and dignity that she and all of our colleagues deserve.”
Ailes has also been accused of sexual harassment by Megyn Kelly and other Fox News employees.
He resigned his post as CEO soon after Carlson’s lawsuit went public.
According to a cover story in New York Magazine this week, Carlson secretly taped some of her conversations with Ailes.
(So she really was a lot smarter than she was portrayed to be on air.)
“I am gratified that 21st Century Fox took decisive action after I filed my complaint,” said Carlson in her own statement.
“I’m ready to move on to the next chapter of my life in which I will redouble my efforts to empower women in the workplace. I want to thank all the brave women who came forward to tell their own stories and the many people across the country who embraced and supported me in their #StandWithGretchen.
“All women deserve a dignified and respectful workplace in which talent, hard work and loyalty are recognized, revered and rewarded.”
Andrea Tantaros, meanwhile, has brought her own lawsuit against Fox News, alleging in her complaint that the network “operated like a sex-fueled, Playboy Mansion-like cult, steeped in intimidation, indecency, and misogyny.”
What an amazing quote.
Oh, and Ailes is now serving as a key advisor to Donald Trump.

Shannen Doherty Cancer Lawsuit: Settled!
Shannen Doherty has had a tough time of it recently.
It’s no secret that the actress has been battling breast cancer, but she’s been embroiled in legal drama throughout.
This all stemmed from her management not paying her premiums on her health insurance.
This meant Doherty’s insurance was invalid and meant her breast cancer went undetected as a result.
It’s such a horrible thing to happen to anyone, but Shannen refused to let Steven Blatt away with it.
Why should she?
If her cancer had been detected sooner, she could have started treatment long before now.
It’s deplorable of her management to not pay her medical insurance. That’s not just something that can be brushed under the rug.
It’s not like they didn’t pay a credit card bill. Messing with her health insurance is just despicable.
The star can now breathe a huge sigh of relief. The lawsuit has finally been settled.
We don’t know as of yet how much Doherty walked away with, but she was originally suing for $ 15 million.
It was recently revealed that Blatt’s attorneys wanted to have Doherty sit through a second deposition.
They had the audacity to want to assess her illness again.
Either way you look at it, her management was in the wrong, so why should sit through a second deposition when she’s fighting cancer?
They should be ashamed.
Now, Shannen can move on with her life without being poorly managed.
Recently, the star has been keeping fans up to date with her progress.
Shannen took to Instagram to put up a picture after the lawsuit was settled.
We extend our well wishes to Shannen.
What do you think of all of this?

Joan Rivers Wrongful Death Suit Settled, Melissa Rivers Ready to Move Forward
Melissa Rivers got a bit of closure today.
While nothing could replace her mother, the comedic legend Joan Rivers, Melissa announced that the multimillion dollar malpractice lawsuit she brought against Yorkville Endoscopy has been settled.
Melissa filed the suit against the facility, which she claimed was negligent in caring for her mother during a minor throat surgery to treat acid reflux.
In a statement given to Us Weekly, Melissa wrote the following:
“In accepting this settlement, I am able to put the legal aspects of my mother’s death behind me and ensure that those culpable for her death have accepted responsibility for their actions quickly and without equivocation.
“Moving forward, my focus will be to ensure that no one ever has to go through what my mother, [my son] Cooper and I went through and I will work towards ensuring higher safety standards in out-patient surgical clinics.
“I want to express my personal gratitude to my legal team for their wise counsel and prompt resolution of this case.”
The late Fashion Police host went into the outpatient clinic in 2014 to have the surgery, but died from complications several days later.
Melissa alleged the center was guilty of gross medical malpractice when they failed to perform an emergency tracheotomy on her mother after she stopped breathing.
The doctors also waited several minutes before calling 911 – a move that may have cost the star her life.
Adding insult to injury, one of the physicians treating Joan also snapped a selfie with the comic as she lay unconscious on the operating table.
The amount of the settlement was not disclosed.
“We have agreed to keep the terms of the settlement confidential to make certain that the focus of this horrific incident remains on improved patient care and the legacy of Joan Rivers,” stated Melissa’s legal team.

The Situation -- Jersey Score Settled ... $5k for Bouncy Paychecks
Z STAFF
EXCLUSIVE
New Jersey’s Division of Wage and Hour Compliance filed a lawsuit against Sitch earlier this year because — as we reported — he was accused of bouncing multiple checks last year to his workforce at Boca Tanning.
The state won the lawsuit, and on August 31, Mike got hit with the bill for $ 5,130. We’ve called his reps to see if he’s settled up yet.
We’re guessing NJ isn’t accepting personal checks from Sitch these days.
