June Shannon Broke Up With Mark McDaniel BEFORE He Went to Jail For Sexual Assault, Daughter Claims


Earlier today, TMZ reported that June Shannon is dating a convicted child molester named Mark McDaniel. 



Sources claim that McDaniel and Shannon dated before he went to prison for sexual assault in 2004, and they reconciled shortly after he was released in March.

Shockingly, insiders say that McDaniel met his 8-year-old victim through Shannon and that she may have even been related to the child.



Fans began voicing their outrage online within minutes of when the story broke and TLC stated the future of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is in question in light of this news. 




June has yet to publicly respond to the news herself, but her daughter – 14-year-old Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon – has come forward to say that there is no truth to the rumor that her mother is involved with McDaniel again.



“The story is not true,” Lauryn told Radar Online. “My mom left Mark 10 years ago. They haven’t seen nor talked to each other in 10 years.”



Lauryn also discussed
Mama June’s breakup with Sugar Bear Thompson, stating that her mother is perfectly happy remaining single for the time being.



“She is all about the kids,” Lauryn said. “She only needs us girls, no one else.”



June is expected to make a statement about the rumor that she’s dating McDaniel some time this week.

Shakira and Piqué are already parents to a son named Milan – and the sexy singer recently opened up to E! News about her second pregnancy.




“Now that I’m pregnant I’m trying, for the first time in my life, to not do so many things at the same time,” she said. “Although, it’s always difficult and issues get in the way even when you don’t want them to. But the majority of the time I do dedicate myself to taking care of my belly, my pregnancy, [and] Milan.”



Shakira added that she’ll start work on a Spanish album at some point in 2015, but not until her next child enters the world.



And she won’t be alone in becoming a new mother. Here’s a look at 11 famous females all expecting a precious package once the calendar flips:

Kardashian Family "Extremely Angry" About Kylie Jenner's Overseas Trip With Tyga, Source Claims


Last week, Kylie Jenner went to Europe with Tyga, in order to join the rapper on tour.



The trip has been widely criticized, as Kylie is 17, Tyga is 24, and all of the countries they’ve visited have lower ages of consent than the United States.

Needless to say, no one is more concerned about Kylie than her family, and sources claim Bruce Jenner and the Kardashian sisters are all very pissed off that Kylie was permitted to travel internationally with her much older boyfriend.



“Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney are all extremely angry because Kylie is their baby and they don’t think she should be globetrotting Europe unsupervised,” says a family friend.



“[Kylie] told Kris that she’s going to help her music career and learn the ins and outs, but they simply don’t but it.”




Yes, the sisters blame Kris for Kylie’s troubling relationship, and it’s not hard to see why.



Kris claims Kylie and Tyga are not dating, despite loads of evidence to the contrary.



Tyga also claims he and Kylie are just friends, but the two have been spotted sharing intimate dinners and holding hands in public.



The insider claims Bruce, Kim, and company have nothing against Tyga as a person, and they really just have one complaint about the situation: Kylie is simply too young.



During an argument, Bruce reportedly told Kris point blank, “When she is 18, she can do whatever she wants, but not until then.” Sounds reasonable to us!

Mama June Shannon Dating Convicted Child Molester


Last month, Mama June Shannon and Sugar Bear Thompson separated amidst rumors that he’d created an online dating profile to search for cheating partners.



Thompson denies cheating, but regardless of what prompted their split, it seems he and Shannon are officially through.



In fact, just weeks after moving out of the home she shared with Thompson, Shannon has already moved on. Unfortunately, Mama June’s new beau has a criminal past that’s got friends and family cautioning her to keep her distance.



This is June Shannon


Mark McDaniel was convicted of aggravated child molestation in 2004. Shannon was dating McDaniel at the time, and his 8-year-old victim was somebody that he met through her.



After ten years in prison, McDaniel was released in March, and sources say he contacted June almost immediately.




Now that she’s single, Shannon has reportedly entered a romantic relationship with McDaniel and producers of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo have expressed their concerns.



“We are very concerned about this new information and we are reassessing the future of the series,” reads a statement from TLC.



Sources on set say Shannon made a habit of sneaking away to spend time with McDaniel while her reality series was in production. She is reportedly supporting McDaniel financially.

Teresa Giudice: Bound For Orange is the New Black Prison!


Teresa Giudice has been sentenced to serve her 15-month prison term at the Danbury, Conn., location where the series Orange is the New Black is based.



Teresa Giudice: Orange is the New Black!


The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was fired by her crisis manager earlier this week, allegedly for trying to orchestrate a move to this very spot.



Wendy Feldman ended her contract with her high profile client on Monday, for not following due process in her representations to the Bureau of Prisons.



Conflicting reports said that she tried to secure a place in a halfway house, which would have allowed her to work and visit home during the weekend.



In any case, a judge shot down her halfway house request, saying that her timing for such applications was all wrong and sending her off to Danbury.



Guidice, who was sentenced to 15 months in prison for fraud and conspiracy with her husband Joe Giudice (who got 41 months) is free until January 5.




The couple will serve their sentences separately so one is with their daughters, who you’re familiar with if you
watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online.



Orange is the New Black, which is based on a memoir by Piper Kerman inspired by the year she served at the facility, has become a hit for Netflix.



Guidice will not be the only celebrity resident in Danbury over the past few months. On Friday, October 3, singer Lauryn Hill was released from the facility.



Expect a lot more headlines from there once Teresa checks in. Here are 11 reasons, in GIF form, why her fellow inmates had best be on notice:






Table Flipping Fiend





Teresa Giudice is not gonna take any crap. Her table-flipping reputation will precede her in prison, thanks to The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 1.

Renee Zellweger Face Transformation: Insecurities Abound, Insiders Say


A Monday night red carpet event that became a Renee Zellweger face transformation showcase still has the web talking and speculating three days later.



Renee Zellweger’s dramatically different appearance left fans and entertainment industry experts wondering how, and why, she looks like THIS now:






Renee Zellweger Then and Now





Renee Zellweger in 2004 and 2014. Yes, that is actually the same person.



The 45-year-old Zellweger commenting that her new look is because she’s so happy only fueled the debate and puzzled more than a few people.



In a statement, Renee did not address the rumors of plastic surgery and simply stated her new look was a result of a healthier lifestyle and natural aging.



According to a close confidante of Zellweger, that drastically different appearance we’re seeing now is a clear sign of her insecurities, not happiness.



The insider, connected to Zellweger since the early days of her career, says the changes are hardly a big surprise, because “insecurities abound.”



“Hollywood gets to people more than one would like to think.”




So which is it, a new life, or old Hollywood pressures?



“Renee is obviously hyper-fixated on
maintaining a youthful appearance,” says another insider, citing Hollywood’s undeniable focus on young females.



“The focus on youth and often unattainable perfection, like no wrinkles, certainly can [influence] those with a proclivity to engage in radical behavior.”



The pressure to stay young is a big issue all around.



“We the consumers are so obsessed with youth and so hateful to age, that affects everyone. Hollywood is just serving what we ordered,” says one psychologist.






Heidi Montag Boob Job!





The queen of plastic surgery. It’s shocking how different Heidi Montag used to look and how badly this obsession turned out for her.



Zellweger hasn’t been seen out in public much since her last project four years ago, when she was still one of Hollywood’s most bankable stars.



Ironically, if she is image-obsessed and changed hers dramatically because she thinks she has to look younger, she may have hurt her future prospects.



“Renee Zellweger is a brand she has seriously damaged, or at least changed,” says a Harvard sociologist of the long-term impact of this transformation.



For better or worse, Renee Zellweger “has chosen a career that puts her in the public eye and for which she is judged based on her appearance.”



If Zellweger is no longer easily recognizable – for the innocence, the vibrancy and the vulnerability that made her a star – that could be a career killer.

Couples Therapy Season 5 Episode 7 Recap: The Rage of Jenna Jameson ... and Nikki Ferrell


This week on Couples Therapy Season 5 Episode 7, we learned a good number of things about the random cast of celebrity characters living in the house.



And what a cast of characters that is.



Continuing a theme touched upon often in previous weeks, Couples Therapy Season 5 Episode 7 took fans inside the mind of porn legend Jenna Jameson.



And what a warped place that is.




Dr. Jenn got the couples to open up about things in their past that have shaped who they are today. For Jenna Jameson, it was her mom’s death.



Not for the loss itself, but for how her father responded and was so emotionally abusive, to the point where she couldn’t even tell him she’d been raped.



Jenna’s boyfriend John says he would never lay a hand on her because he’s just not like that, but didn’t know the extent of her past trauma either.



Dr. Jenn then takes them to a real house of horrors so they can vanquish their own internal house of horrors they live in. See the symbolism there?



Then Jenna Jameson smashes stuff.




With a bat. She breaks mirrors and a table full of plates and cups while yelling out all the things she needed from her father that he didn’t give her. It’s cathartic.



Treach has issues with his own dad, and boy does he let ‘em out. He says having Cicely embrace him makes him feel like somebody’s in his corner.



Jenna felt the same about John.



Juan Pablo Galavis, meanwhile, lets out his anger at his ex-best friend and his first ex-girlfriend, who dated each other after she and Juan broke up.






Juan Pablo and Nikki Ferrell Kiss





Juan Pablo Galavis and Nikki Ferrell kiss in a cute photo.



Nikki Ferrell, who previously admitted she throws fits to get whatever she wants, despite being good at everything growing up, learns that JPG is scared.



Things then got ugly again, though.



Cicely reads aloud a magazine article aloud, talking about Nikki, her friends, Juan Pablo and how she’s constantly fighting for some kind of validation.



“Nikki, you kind of met your man on a dating show,” Cicely says.



“You were the winner. Leave the contestants behind.”



“I really like Juan Pablo, I really like Nikki,” Dick says.



Individually, that is. But “together, I don’t know.”



Jenna overhears and sees Juan Pablo Galavis try to console Nikki Ferrell, or not. He could see just how uncomfortable she was and did nothing.



Nikki rails against Cicely to Juan Pablo, saying how disrespectful she is, then rips Juan too for not standing her in this obvious time of need.



Well then, this concludes another week in the house. Follow the link to watch Couples Therapy online and hold onto your butts, it’s a wild one in there.
