Leah Messer Gushes Over New Home, Fresh Start For Family

Teen Mom 2’s Leah Messer has been through so much of late, but she’s moving on to a better place – literally! She bought her first house.


Will this be the beginning of a brighter chapter?



Her previous houses were presumably purchased by Jeremy Calvert or Corey Simms, her exes (as you know if you watch Teen Mom 2 online).


Now Leah’s on her own and making ends meet.


Leah made the big announcement June 1:. “I’m extremely ecstatic to announce The girls and I just sealed the deal on our new house!”


“#GodIsGreat … Everything is falling into place!!”


Totes. #GodIsGreat. So are low mortgage rates.


All kidding aside, she’s clearly in a good head space these days, and the physical move to a new place to call home is a big part of that.


While moving sucks for anyone who can’t hire an army of underlings, Leah looked hot in the process and was sure we all knew about it:



Her move was delayed due to historic flooding in her home state of West Virginia; Messer and her family are fine, but many are not.


Understandably, her focus for much of the past week and weekend was doing what she could to help flood victims in her home town.


Eventually, Messer was able to complete the exciting transition.


“Finally, I’m moved… :)” Leah captioned a photo of the place.


“I’m so happy to finally be in my own home, but now I’m ready to do what I can to get everyone around me back in theirs!”


“We will all then be so happy and relieved! I hope everyone is doing okay through this all. I’ll be available to help anyone that needs me!”


“Let’s get our homes and towns back WV! Xoxo #Goodnight”



Yesterday, Leah couldn’t contain her joy at the fact that she owns this place – even if it means a lot of effort will be required.


She wrote: “&& the yard work begins for this mommy! Can’t wait for the twins to get to spend their first night in OUR Home!”


Nearly all of the comments were positive … rare for Twitter.


An appreciative, happy Leah responded to her followers: “Thanks everyone!!! This move has been one we will never forget!”


One big reason for the universally positive response?


No T.R. Dues or any other live-in lover in sight. At least that we know of. She’s focusing on herself and reaping the rewards.


You gotta do you sometimes. Jenelle Evans, take notice.


She does seem like she’s in a terrific, stable place lately, and given all the ups and downs she’s experienced, it’s well earned.


Of course, if Jeremy Calvert is engaged to Brooke Wehr, one may question if she can handle that sort of emotional hurdle.


Questions for another time. Congratulations Leah!!!


Hayden Panettiere Seen Without Engagement Ring: Is She Single?

She sought treatment for post-partum depression a second time in May, and judging from yesterday’s photo, Hayden Panettiere has made some changes.



The most obvious?  A bare left hand that was missing a six-carat engagement ring.  


Panettiere, 26, was photographed in New York City on July 5th in a plaid shirt and blue leggings.  


According to People Magazine, the Nashville star was sitting on a stoop and smoking a cigarette while reading Underboss: Sammy The Bull Gravano’s Story of Life in the Mafia.


Panettiere’s fiance, Russian boxer Wladimir Klitschko was not present, nor was their 18-month old daughter, Kyra.


Back in October 2015, Panetierre sought professional help for post-partum depression.  


She sought treatment again in May, updating fans with this tweet:


“The postpartum depression I have been experiencing has impacted every aspect of my life,” she wrote.


“Rather than stay stuck due to unhealthy coping mechanisms I have chosen to take time to reflect holistically on my health and life.”


Panettiere and Klitschko, 40, started dating in 2009, but broke up in 2011 before reuniting in 2013.



During a beach vacation in March, Panettiere referred to both the boxer and her daughter as the “loves” of her “life.”


The actress has been open about her struggle with post-partum.


“I’m really happy that I can stand up for the women who are out there suffering from this and let them know it’s okay,” Panettiere told People back in January.


“They’re not alone. It doesn’t mean they’re weak. It doesn’t mean they’re a bad mom. It doesn’t mean they’re strange.


“They can get help if they need it, and that’s okay.”


Panettiere admitted keeping it to herself was unhealthy.


“Honestly, when I said [I had PPD] the first time on Kelly and Michael I didn’t plan on it,” she says.


“We talked about it for a second, but it was just like a conversation, and I was like, ‘Why should I be ashamed or hide when it costs so much?’ It costs me so much to hide.


“It costs you so much to lie.”


Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 3 Recap: Grave News

It happened, Pretty Little Liars fans.


It really happened on Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 3.



We got an actual answer!


In a truly shocking twist, viewers discovered on Tuesday night the identity of the person the gals were burying on Pretty Little Liars Season 7 Episode 1.


Got a drum roll handy?


The answer is… Elliott!


As it turns out, this lover of latex was mowed down by Hannah as she and her friends searched through the woods for Allison… who had just escaped from her captor’s clutches.


Was anyone surprised by this reveal? Disappointed? Elated?



On the relationship front, Caleb tried his hardest to convince Spencer she really is The One.


Yes, he’ll always have feelings of some kind for Hanna, but Spencer is the person he wants to be with.


It wasn’t the most romantic speech in history and it didn’t win Spencer over.


Oh, and Toby is engaged to Yvonne!


Emily, meanwhile, kept us entertained via her bartending gig at Radley.


She initially got turned down by Sabrina, only to later land a date after opening way up about her life.


Do Emily and Sabrina have a real future together? We all know Paige is on her way back into the picture, so we’re gonna go ahead and just say no to the that question.


The biggest clue from the hour involved Aria and Hanna driving out of town to learn more about Elliott.


Once in Amish Country, they met a young girl named Eliza. She showed them the dolls given to her by Charlotte.


Naturally, these dolls were named Aria, Emily, Hanna, Ali and Emily.



As they played with the creepy toys, Eliza told Aria and Hanna that she witnessed Elliott and Charlotte kissing once.


At the property owner’s sudden request, our two heroines started to leave …when Hanna noticed a cattle prod and realized it was the same weapon her kidnapper used on her.


YIKES.


Aria stared at the prod with a horrified look on her face and vowed:


“Elliott will pay for what he did to you.”

Demi Lovato Honors Prince, Sings "Purple Rain"

Demi Lovato has become the latest performance to pay tribute to Prince.


The young singer took the stage at the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular in Boston, Massachusetts for a special that aired on the Fourth of July this past Monday.


But she took a few minutes at one point to honor the late musical icon instead of her native country.



Decked out in a sequined romper, the pop star blew away the audience – both those watching live and on television – by delivering a rendition of "Purple Rain" with the Boston Pops Orchestra.


You can check out video of the tribute below.


Prince, of course, passed away on April 21.


His body was found at his home in Minnesota and an official report later confirmed that Prince died from an accidental overdose of the opioid fentanyl.


Ever since this shocking tragedy, celebrities from around Hollywood have paid their respects in various ways to the iconic artist.



Spike Lee, for instance, wore a sort of ridiculous outfit to the 2016 BET Awards.


Madonna and Stevie Wonder, meanwhile, teamed up at the Billboard Music Awards.


Lovato is one of the younger singers to perform "Purple Rain" as a way to pay homage to Prince, but it just goes to show the massive influence he had over musicians from all eras.



Also during her appearance at this July 4 special,, Lovato performed "Cool for the Summer," "Confident" and she sang a duet of "Close" and "America the Beautiful" with Future Now tour mate Nick Jonas.


But everyone is talking about her Prince cover this week.


For good reason.


Take a look and a listen below and you"ll understand why.
