Farrah Abraham: Not Addicted To Plastic Surgery...Anymore!

We’ve had the pleasure of learning so much about Farrah Abraham lately, more than we had ever bargained for.  



Abraham went on the Allegedly podcast to promote season six of Teen Mom OG (premiering August 22nd), and no topic was off-limits.  Not her nightly rate, not her plastic surgery, and certainly not her policy on makeup in elementary schools.


Abraham’s features have (for lack of a better word) changed over the years.  In 2015 she even appeared on an episode of Botched after some sketchy lip injections left her in quite a state.



Now, Abraham assured her audience, all is well.


“I took a chin implant out, I’ve dialed down on the injections because I thought it was too much,” she explained.


“It was a lot of stuff, like whoa, plastic surgery turns out to be a lot more than you bargained for. But I’m not addicted to anything.


 
Farrah Abraham: Okkkkk!


“The only things that I had to fix were breasts, because I was getting serious scarring, I felt like I was having a heart attack multiple nights in a row, so I had to change up my regimen.”


Right.  Anyway, she’s as natural as she every going to be, so we might as well get used to it.


As for how she raises her daughter, Sophia and how much bronzer she’s allowed to apply, that’s Abraham’s damn business. 



So, when the call from Sophia’s elementary school came in that makeup wasn’t allowed, Abraham marched down to the principal’s office to defend her daughter’s right to contour.


“You know, when your kids are 5 or 6 they already start playing with makeup,” Abraham said.


“And I was the only mother in freakin’ elementary school getting called in to deal with makeup on her daughter.”



Abraham dealt with the principal the only way she knew how, by treating the administrator like her own mother, Debbo.


“So I said to them – and I proved my point because then the principal switched schools – I go, ‘Well then you should take off your makeup. If you don’t want little girls coming to school with makeup then don’t wear makeup,"” Abraham recalled.


“And then ever since I’ve seen that principal she hasn’t had makeup on her face.” 


Slow claps for Abraham and her ace parenting techniques.


Whitney Houston Would Have Turned 53 Years Old Today

The music world has once again stopped to remember Whitney Houston. 



The late and truly great singer would have celebrated her 53rd birthday today.


Tragically, of course, Houston was taken from us far too soon when her body was found in the bathtub of a Beverly Hills hotel in February of 2012.


Despite the singer’s long-time struggle with substance abuse, it remains one of the more shocking deaths in Hollywood history.


Fast forward four and a half years and many musicians still cannot believe Houston is gone.


“#WhitneyHouston U are drawn on my wall becuz there will NEVER be another you VOCALLY! Or STYLE! We love u QUEEN,” wrote Missy Elliott on Twitter this morning.


And she certainly was not lone in paying tribute to Whitney on her birthday.



On Instagram, Jennifer Hudson shared an old photo of the singer, writing as a caption to the image:


“Happy birthday to the greatest Whitney Houston!”


Then there was Tika Sumpter, who co-starred in the movie Sparkle with Houston. Her Instagram message shared the same sentiment as that of Hudson, reading:


“Whitney. The greatest. Miss you.”


Back on Twitter, Paula Abdul retweeted a “We’ll always love you, Whitney Houston” message, to which she added: “Truly & always.” 


Over now to And Jordin Sparks, who also starred in Sparkle and who Tweeted on this occasion:


“Wishing Mama Whitney a Happy Birthday!! I miss you! Thank you so much for your kindness & love.”


About a month after Houston died, officials determined that she passed away from a heart attack brought on by the use of cocaine.


Her death was ruled an “accidental drowning.”



Coroner Chief Craig Harvey said in a news conference that evidence pointed to Whitney as a “chronic” cocaine user and that the traces in her system were “acute,” meaning she took the drug very soon before she died.


Making the story even sadder?


Whitney’s only daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, also died of a drug overdose.


Moreover, her body was also found in a bathtub, with this tragedy taking place in January of 2015 at a home she shared with boyfriend Nick Gordon.


Controversy continues to swirl around Bobbi’s death, most notably the role Gordon played either in her drug habit or even in the hours leading up to her passing.


Bobby Brown has gone so far as to even suggest Gordon murdered his daughter.


But we’re not here now to get into any of that.


We’re here to pay tribute to Whitney Houston and the incredible life she led.



Whatever demons surrounded both her and Bobbi, let’s just hope each has now found peace on the other side.


Together.


May they rest in peace.

19-Year-Old Parents Welcome Identical Triplets Into the World

Move over, Farrah Abraham and Jenelle Evans.


Prepare to meet a teen mom who has even more to deal with than you do.



Fortunately, she won’t have to do so alone.


In fact, Amber Hills may never be alone ever again.


Hills and Logan Brown-Fletcher – both 19 years old and residents of Newberg, Oregon – welcomed three daughters into the world on August 1.


Their names are Raelyn, Avery and Elaina.


But it gets even crazier: The three daughters are IDENTICAL triplets.


The infants – who respectively weighed in at 2 pounds, 12 ounces; 3 pounds, 11 ounces; and 2 pounds, 15 ounces – were delivered by caesarean section 33 weeks into Amber’s pregnancy at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. 


This is the average gestational age for triplets.



“My dad has multiples in his family, so I figured it would happen to me someday,” Amber told Us Weekly of her reaction to learning she was having three kids.


However, her fiancé was in for the shock of his life.


“I was crying and swearing!” Brown-Fletcher admits.


Yeah. We would be, too!


Logan has since calmed down and gained some perspective, however.


“I was a little scared because I was still in high school and working a small job with not many hours,” he says.


“But as we started to approach their due date, I was like, ‘This is going to be life changing, but I am ready.’”



Sadly, both Amber and Logan did not receive full support from those around them.


“A lot of our friends weren’t very supportive at first,” Brown-Fletcher says. “They were all like, “You are too young, you are not ready."”


And then, of course, there was the Internet.


With Amber chronicling her pregnant journey on Instagram, the trolls came out in full force.


It’s a good thing these daughters have a father with his head screwed on right.


“They don’t know who we are,” Logan says of the critics. They have never met us, so they have no idea whether we are too young. We are both pretty mature for our age. And we know what we are doing.”

Neonatologist Craig Novak says the kids are expected to leave Providence St. Vincent Medical Center within the next two to four weeks.


So far, so very good when it comes to their health.


“I’m just excited to take them home and be a family together in one house,” says Brown-Fletcher.
