Amber Portwood Loses Custody Of Her Daughter

Amber Portwood has lost primary custody of her baby because of the actions of third-parties. The Teen Mom reality star was previously accused of several forms of abuse towards the baby’s father that were said to have taken place in front of their two-year-old. There was some child-rearing in there somewhere, I guess, because this time Portwood didn’t lose custody because she’s an abusive wreck. A few weeks ago, the home and car of Portwood were vandalised with the words ‘HOE’ and ‘WHORE’ spray painted all over her house and car. Child Protective Services called an emergency hearing on Wednesday in Indiana, fearing for Leah Shirley’s safety. Primary custody was awarded to the baby’s father, Gary Shirley.

Halle Berry On Custody Battle With Ex-Boyfriend

Halle Berry spent the entire end of last year in assorted disoriented states of crazy in which she basically ruined her personal image. Well, for the most part anyway. When I previously thought of Berry, I was all like, ‘Hip: Waist ratio’, or ‘Boobies.’ Now, I’m like, ‘One woman race war with herself and alleged anger issues.’ Not boobies. There’s been more reported on the custody battle of Berry and baby daddy Gabriel Aubry than I could rehash here. In brief: there were allegations of raging on each side, along with nasty allegations that Aubry had race issues and that his daughter was scared of him. Possibly hoping to bring some balance to the reporting, Berry has spoken about her legal issues; ones which revolve around who can take her daughter where and for how long. ‘When there’s a child involved, it’s a relief when you can resolve things in a good way. Our issues were never about fighting for her,’ Berry told Extra. ‘We both know a child needs both her parents. But what I want to say about it is sometimes, as a couple, you reach an impasse. We need a court and a judge to help us work out some of the delicate issues,’ she added. I’m so happy we’ve arrived at that place; because, for her sake, this is the best way. We love her more than life.’

Halle Berry Drops Play Due To Custody Issues

Halle Berry has dropped a Broadway play because of her ongoing custody issues; issues, and related crazy, about which I’d forgotten. Lest we forget, Berry spent the end of last year starting a one-woman race war with herself and engaging in a p**sing match with Gabriel Aubry (with whom, according to a statement at the time, she’d had an amicable break-up). Berry was scheduled to make her Broadway debut this September, but just dropped out in what The Mountaintop producers attribute, in a statement, to her custody issues. Producers said Berry will ‘not be appearing in the role due to child-custody issues.’ Samuel L. Jackson is still on board to portray Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. Pictures show Halle Berry and boyfriend Olivier Martinez as they attended the 31st Annual Silver Rose Gala & Auction held at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA on 17 April, 2011.

Matthew Rutler Was Under Limit So DUI Dropped

I guess it’s pretty hard to pin charges on someone for being a drunk-ass, when they weren’t even legally that drunk. Matthew Rutler, 25, was pulled over and arrested in March on suspicion of driving drunk; Christina Aguilera, 30, was arrested on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. At the time of her arrest, the popo didn’t charge Aguilera with a crime; she was only arrested so they could keep her safe after realising she was in no fit state to look after herself. Aguilera’s mug shot was never even officially-released either; the sleezyballs at E! Online basically stole the picture and released it after pinky-swearing they would do no such thing. Rutler, Aguilera’s boyfriend, had his charges dropped this weekend. He was under the legal limit to be behind the wheel. Two days after Aguilera’s divorce from Jordan Bratman was finalised, the L.A. County District Attorney officially rejected the DUI case against Rutler; citing insufficient evidence. Rutler’s blood alcohol content was .06 at the time of his arrest, which falls under California’s legal limit to operate a vehicle, .08. So this event exists only to have blessed the world with the second and third-saddest booking photos after the one Nicolas Cage took with his eyes closed.

Shakira Clarifies There Was No Ring Theft At All

Because watching videos all the way through is hard, it was widely reported that a jewellery theft was committed against Shakira and it was caught on camera. In a report that I ignored, because it seemed asinine (and because computer problems mean I can’t hear videos on the system I’m temporarily using), it was claimed a fan of Shakira stole a ring right from her finger as she made physical contact during a show in Mexico. The whole thing was caught on a video I’m guessing no one else watched either… because it never happened. After the ‘theft,’ the singer looks down at the same ring that was supposedly stolen moments earlier. Her publicist, Joseph Carozza, clarifies in a statement, ‘There is no truth to this report. A fan grabbed her hand and she looked down. Her ring is still visible on her hand as she continued to walk through the crowd.’ So there.

Chris Brown Allegedly Smashed Window At GMA

Chris Brown had an angry freakout during my nap time, because the mouth to hell always opens somewhere in between my napping and waking up to open my juice box. I’m gonna say two things 1) I’m not surprised I woke up to find Brown had been accused of another violent outburst, because, well, he’s evidently learned nothing from his slap on the wrist sentence from beating up Rihanna and he’s also evidently not sorry or contrite in anything he says and does. 2) In general, so a couple of facts come to light as I’m writing a story, I like to hang back a little so I’m not the one looking an ass… which, BTW, is the only reason this post didn’t get its intended opener of ‘I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO, I TOLD YOU SO!’ In this case, Brown is accused of freaking out majorly after a series of questions on Good Morning America about Rihanna. Brown was a guest on the morning show to promote his album. He was interviewed by Robin Roberts of GMA, and asked to cover the Rihanna beating, despite his attempts to redirect; immediately after which he tweeted, then deleted this message saved by someone quicker than me. Because he’s still a douchebag, after being asked the questions in the video below, which Roberts claims were asked with his prior approval, Brown is said to have returned to his dressing room and, allegedly, stormed into his dressing room and started screaming/ yelling in a manner that caused security to be called. A window in the room was shattered with a chair in a manner that meant glass fell to the street outside, pictures below. The incident is ‘alleged’ at this point because, buried in a follow-up story about Roberts’ pre-approving questions, TMZ.com admits, ‘As for the broken window, no one in the studio saw Chris throw the chair into the window… but he was definitely in the dressing room when the window was smashed.’ Security arrived, but Brown had ripped his shirt, because he’s a green douche and you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry (the reason he’s shirtless above), and he left the building. He was supposed to do another performance for the ABC website, but decided not to do it. Brown deleted his idiotic message reading, ‘I’m so over people bringing this past s**t up. Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bulls**t,’ because he thinks things can be deleted from the Internet. On his way out of the GMA building, Brown is also alleged to have, ‘confronted a segment producer, got in his face and stared him down. People from the show got between Chris and the producer to diffuse the situation.’ Post-incident photos include Roberts at GMA.
