Lance Bass and hubby Michael Turchin are in the super early baby planning stages … so early, in fact, how they’ll decide whose sperm to use to make the baby’s a competition. We got Lance and Michael at LAX Monday and our guy wanted to talk…

Amber Portwood: Suffering from Mental Health Issues During Pregnancy
Amber Portwood is not in a good place right now.
But then again, she’s never been in a good place, not once in all the years we’ve known her, so it’s to be expected at this point.
After years of dealing with drug addiction and massive anger management problems and, you know, prison, not to mention the supreme creepiness of Matt Baier …
She’s been through a lot, to say the least.
So now that she’s settled down a little bit, since she’s cut Matt loose and found a new creeper to play house with and since she’s pregnant again, you’d think things would be easier, right?
At least a little bit.
But if you honestly thought that, then you must not be too familiar with Ms. Portwood.
While it looks like she gets along better with Andrew Glennon than she did with Matt, we don’t imagine that will be the case forever — Andrew has two exes with restraining orders against him, so a happy ending with Teen Mom’s OG felon doesn’t seem likely.
And while it may look like she’s in a better situation to have a child now than she was when she was a broke teenager, it really doesn’t feel that way.
After all, she doesn’t really parent the child she already has, and we all saw how maternal she was when she did have custody of Leah.
Spoiler if you missed the first few seasons of Teen Mom: most inanimate objects appear to be more maternal than Amber.
Look, the point is that it’s all just bad, everything about this whole situation is bad and weird and scary.
And in a new interview Amber just did with People, she’s opening up about how bad things are for her these days.
In the interview, Amber revealed that she “had a concern” with her depression recently, and after speaking with her doctor, they concluded that “it was a concern that postpartum [depression] was something that could happen because of how I’m doing right now.”
She explained that she wants to “nip it in the bud before anything gets too bad or you go into a really deep depression, which is not good for me right now, obviously.”
So she began taking antidepressants, which she said is “just something you have to do to make yourself feel better, and you have to make sure it’s safe for the baby and just move forward from that.”
First of all, it’s sincerely wonderful that Amber took the steps to get help if she’s been feeling depressed. Lots of antidepressants are perfectly safe during pregnancy, and it’s a great thing that she’s taking care of herself like this.
Obviously there’s no shame in admitting you’re struggling, and if she does develop postpartum depression down the line, she’s got a head start on battling it.
It’s also good that she seems to be wising up a little when it comes to her health.
Last year, after Amber broke up with Matt, she made statements about how she’d stopped taking her medications because she thought it was just her situation that was making her feel depressed.
Except she’s said many times that she’s bipolar, which isn’t something you just get over by getting out of a bad situation — not that depression is either, but bipolar disorder is a lifelong thing.
She’s also said before that the medications she normally took weren’t safe for pregnancy, but maybe since she’s already on antidepressants, she’ll consult her doctor about any other meds she made need after having the baby.
Maybe this is the first step to a whole new and improved Amber!
We can dream, right?
Oh, also in the interview, she specified that she’s 33 weeks pregnant right now, which means that she conceived within the first few weeks of dating Andrew.
What a world.
Rob Kardashian: Blac Chyna Is Too Dangerous to Be Around Dream!
In the wake of Blac Chyna’s Six Flags throw down in which she tried to wield her daughter’s stroller as a weapon, a number of people are questioning her emotional health … and her parenting skills.
Among those people is Rob Kardashian, Chyna’s ex and Dream’s father.
And it looks like he’s going to use this to take Chyna to court and change their custody arrangement.
The whole world has seen Blac Chyna’s infamous theme park fight. Rob Kardashian is certainly one of them.
And, according to what an insider leaked to RadarOnline, Rob is scared to let Chyna be with Dream because of behavior like this.
“Rob doesn’t think Chyna is a good mom and this is more proof,” the source claims. “He’s afraid for Dream’s safety when she’s with Chyna.”
Obviously, your child’s safety must always be your first priority.
“He already contacted his lawyers about this. Rob wants full custody of Dream.”
That sounds like a huge and potentially expensive rehashing of their old custody fight.
The source continues:
“Rob gave Chyna everything she wanted in terms of custody and he gives her $ 20,000 a month.”
Which, the source says, makes it inexcusable that Chyna even came into contact with anyone else while at the park.
“The fact that she didn’t pay for the VIP escort at the park is cheap and was a dangerous decision.”
It’s possible that Chyna just wanted to give her kids a more normal park experience, but Rob believes that it was a mistake.
“He wants to take action to protect his daughter.”
And he apparently worries that what the world saw of Chyna at Six Flags is part of a larger pattern of behavior that his daughter does not need to see.
“He is scared that Dream is in danger when she is with Chyna if she’s getting in fights.”
TMZ confirms that Rob is alarmed by Chyna’s behavior, and report that he plans to capitalize on this video to push for an amendment to their current custody arrangement.
Their sources say that Rob has actually had these concerns for months.
What they say that he’s seeking is a hearing to establish rules fro Chyna regarding what she can and cannot do in Dream’s presence.
Among other things, he may seek to bar Chyna from introducing Dream to any significant other until she’s been in the relationship for at least six months.
That would include Chyna’s 18-year-old boy-toy, who was at Six Flags with her this weekend.
He’s also reportedly going to ask the court for a massive reduction in child support payments.
Blac Chyna clearly loves Dream, and it’s worth pointing out that, according to everything that we’ve heard about the Six Flags fight, she believed that she was defending Dream from an overzealous fan who had touched her daughter.
It sounds like it was probably a misunderstanding.
In fact, the fight victim has spoken out and explained that she had no idea that Dream was Chyna’s — she just saw an incredibly cute baby.
And it’s understandable that Chyna would want to defend her child.
But it’s obviously very important that she not get into fights in front of her children.
To be clear, however … there was no sign of the presence of Dream or King in the video.
Some believe that Rob is just using this situation to try to decrease his child support payments.
And by “Rob,” they mean Kris, who is also believed to be the one making the payments. Rob is rich by normal people standards. By Kardashian standards, he’s a pauper.
In fact, a major revenue stream for him went away when Instagram shut him down over his revenge porn attack against Chyna last summer.
This whole situation between Rob and Chyna is a mess. As a result, many fans have a hard time seeing this alleged push for new custody rules as anything other than opportunism.
Being a divorced parent sure is complicated.
