Leah Messer Blames Parenting Fails on Narcolepsy, Twitter Skeptical

Your heart kind of breaks for any “star” of MTV’s 16 & Pregnant and/or Teen Mom, but it’s even more depressing when said star spirals into a hole so deep, it prompts the legal system to intervene.

Such is the case with Leah Messer, a West Virginia native who got knocked up by ex-husband Cory Simms when both were still in high school.  The former husband and wife have two daughters together, 5-year-old twins Ali and Alleah.  

Messer appeared on the most recent cover of Us Magazine, detailing her past demons (rehab for anxiety and depression, alleged prescription drug abuse), and revealing the pain of losing primary custody of her twins.  Messer is also mom to Adalynn, 2, with her second ex-husband, Jeremy Calvert.

According to Radar Online, Messer also admitted to suffering from narcolepsy, a sleep disorder characterized by extreme tenancies to fall asleep at any point during the day.  

This, the 25-year-old explained to Us, is why she was always late bringing her twins to school.

Fans of Teen Mom weren’t buying it, though.

“It’s annoying when u say u have #narcolepsy when you did not get diagnosed w/ it,” someone wrote on Twitter in response to the US interview. “It’s a serious disease. get educated.”

Messer took a diplomatic approach and chose her words carefully. “It’s very serious,” she responded.  “They are still doing the testing. They are pretty sure that’s what I have.”

Leah Remini Accuses Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes of Neglecting Suri

Over the past week, Leah Remini has launched a full-blown media attack on the Church of Scientology, of which she was a member for several decades.

Leah"s been speaking about her time as a Scientologist in order to promote her scathing new memoir, Troublemaker: Surviving Hollywood and Scientology.

In a recently released excerpt, Remini detailed the sexual abuse and harassment that she experienced as a young woman in the church.

Now, Leah is going after the controversial religion"s golden boy, Tom Cruise.

Today, another excerpt from the book, which hits stores on Tuesday, was released to the public, and it includes some shocking allegations about Cruise and his then-wife, Katie Holmes.

According to Remini, she attended a pre-wedding dinner at Cruise"s home, and she rode to the party in a car with Cruise"s children from his first marriage to Nicole Kidman.

When Remini asked Isabella Cruise if she planned to see her mother soon, the then-13-year-old snapped, "Not if I have a choice. Our mom is a f–king SP."

SP stands for "suppressive person," Scientologist jargon for a friend or family member who attempts to talk a believer into quitting the faith.

Isabella Cruise got married last month and didn"t invite either of her parents to the ceremony.

More shocking than the odd nature of Cruise"s relationship with his older children, however, is the shocking neglect of youngest daughter Suri Cruise that Remini says she witnessed upon arriving at the dinner.

Remini claims that Suri – then just 7 months old – was left to scream and cry on a bathroom floor while adults milled about pretending that nothing was wrong.

Remini was eventually able to convince some women who were standing nearby to assist with her cleaning the baby up and giving her warm milk.

Tellingly, Holmes issued a statement apologizing for her past mistreatment of Remini and did not deny that the Suri incident occurred as she described it.

Watch Remini discuss her feelings about Scientology and her relationship with Holmes in the video below:

 

Prince Harry Receives Amazing Gift From Injured Vet

After completing a 1,000-mile trek through Britain for charity, wounded marine Kirstie Ennis gave Prince Harry something that carried a tremendous amount of meaning for them both.

The six vets who took part in the walk, organized by Walking With The Wounded to "show how injured warriors can rebuild their lives and achieve great feats," according to the Daily Express.

On November 1st, seventy-two hours after the walk began, everyone gathered outside Buckingham Palace to celebrate.  That"s when Ennis handed Harry a dog tag belonging to her fallen colleague, one of several that she placed around the country during her walk, that was saved for pride of place at the palace.

No I can"t, I can"t accept this," Harry said to Ennis, whom he joined for part of the trek.

"Please, you know what this means to me," Ennis insisted. I want you to."

"This means so much to me," the Prince told Ennis before giving her a massive hug in thanks.

Ennis, 24, was in 2012 helicopter accident in Afghanistan, in which she sustained serious injuries to her face, jaw and leg.  According to People"s Simon Perry, the marine put off surgery to remove the lower part of her left leg until after the charity walk.

"It was quite painful and there is nothing you can do to prepare for that, even when you are able-bodied, much less when you have debilitating injuries," Ennis said of the walk.  "It was quite the challenge. I have never felt so disabled in my life at times."
