Leah Messer DUMPED T.R. Dues to Get Back With Jeremy Calvert?!

Earlier today, we reported that the relationship between Leah Messer and T.R. Dues is officially over.



The news came as a surprise to fans, as rumors about Leah and T.R. getting engaged began to circulate just a few weeks ago.


There’s still no official word on why the couple called it quits. In fact, those closest to Messer and Dues can’t even agree on whether or not the relationship is really over.


First, friends of Leah’s spoke to Radar Online and confirmed the breakup:


“Leah said they broke up a little while ago,” says one source. “She said it just didn’t work out. He wasn’t a good boyfriend.”


A different insider even went so far as to say that Leah has cut off all contact with Dues, as she’s hoping to get back together with Jeremy Calvert – her second husband and the father of her youngest child. 


However, other sources close to the situation claim that Leah and T.R. are still an item, and are still living together in Charleston, West Virginia.


“They are very much together, and live as a family with her daughters and his sons,” says an insider close to Dues.


Considering the couple is so secretive they never even publicly confirmed that they’re dating, it may be a while before we find out what’s really going on.


We know that Leah hates to be single, so if she did dump Dues, we wouldn’t be surprised if she did it for another guy – possibly Calvert.

Michael Galeota: Did Alcohol Play Role in His Death?

As previously reported, Michael Galeota sadly passed away on Sunday.


The actor, best known for his role on the Disney Channel show Jersey, was only 31 years old.



No official cause of death has been announced, but new information is starting to come in regarding the life Galeota’s led prior to his tragic death.


According to TMZ insiders, Galeota struggled with alcohol issues over the past several years.


He was arrested three times between 2006 and 2015 for Driving Under the Influence.


The last DUI took place in September and remains an ongoing case.


Galeota also served time behind bars on multiple occasions for violating his probation in alcohol-related incidents.


The young actor – who also appeared on episodes of Ally McBeal and ER back in the day – suffered from hypertension and high cholesterol.


Moreover, he battled diverticulitis, which is inflammation of the digestive track and which can be fatal in some cases.


As documented earlier, Galeota was hospitalized last week for abdominal pain, but he left the facility against doctor’s advice.


We send condolences to his loved ones and we’ll update fans when more news breaks.


May Michael Galeota and all other celebrities who have already died in 2016 rest in peace…


Duggar Family: Officially Returning to TV?!

It’s been six months since TLC canceled 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals, and it now looks as though the network has officially decided to give the family another chance.



No, we’re not talking about Jill & Jessa: Counting On – the limited, three-part series that appeared on the network last month and focused on the two newlywed Duggar daughters.


There are now reports that the whole Duggar family (probably minus Josh) will be returning to television, possibly in a new version of the show that made them famous.


The Duggar Family News Facebook page has confirmed rumors that Jim Bob, Michelle, and their massive brood were recently joined by a camera crew during an outing to an Arkansas lumber yard.


“The Duggars were seen filming at a lumber yard last week in their area,” the report reads. “Yes, filming. They spent three hours there and bought some lumber.”


It may not sound like the most entertaining scene in the world, but that’s what exactly what makes this news so interesting.


Counting On focused on high drama, such as the birth of Jessa Duggar’s first child, and Anna Duggar tearfully speaking out about Josh for the first time.


19 Kids focused much more on the everyday chores and challenges that come with living in a household of 21, and it sounds like the family is returning to that sort of programming.



When reached for a comment by Deadline, TLC exec Nancy Daniels stopped just short of confirming that the Duggars will be making a comeback.


“We just aired a three-part special before the holidays that did very well. We had over 3 million viewers. The audience cares about these girls,” Daniels said.


“We’re still talking and considering it, but we have not made a decision yet.”


Sounds like you can count on an official announcement sometime in the near future, but the network still has big decisions to make:


For example, how will it deal with the inevitable Duggar protestors, and will the new show address the all-important issue of Josh and his ugly past?


Jon Hamm & January Jones: Officially Dating?!

At the 2016 Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jon Hamm took home one of the night’s top prizes for his work in the final season of Mad Men.


Now it seems the 44-year-old star may have celebrated by reminiscing about his time as Don Draper with the help of a former castmate.



Yes, Hamm and January Jones on-screen marriage may have been swallowed by a tidal wave of booze and infidelity, but in real life, Hamm is newly sober – and newly single – and several insiders say the co-workers are making a go at a real-life relationship.


Hamm broke up with Jennifer Westfeldt – his girlfriend of 18 years – last summer, and he reportedly reached out to his longtime friend January – who was also fresh from a long-term relationship – for support.


Sources say the platonic dinners eventually led to Hamm and Jones hooking up, and now they’re officially dating – and doing their best to keep it low-key.


“They’ve always had an extremely close relationship and crazy chemistry,” says one insider. “They always flirted with each other on set, but never went there because Jon was with Jennifer.”


The source adds that after the Globes, Jon and January headed back to her house – which has become a home-away-from-home for Hamm in recent weeks.


“They’ve been spending time together at January’s home in LA,” the insider continued. “It’s a gated community so they don’t have to worry about paparazzi getting shots of them together.”
