Lisa Turtle Suffering From Bipolar Disorder

in Celebrity Illness


Lark Voorhies, who you probably know as Lisa Turtle from the hit 90's show Saved by the Bell, is having some severe mental health issues. People writes:

The former teen star, known to a generation of fans as the fashionable Lisa Turtle, denies anything is wrong, but after a bizarre Yahoo! video went viral earlier this year, some questioned whether drugs played a role. Voorhies adamantly denied it. Instead, her mother says, she has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

In a series of interviews with PEOPLE, it was clear something wasn't right. Voorhies, 38, would frequently stop mid-sentence and stare off, often mumbling to herself or to others who weren't there.

"There are things that have traumatized her," says Tricia, 64, who shares a home with her daughter in Pasadena, Calif. "I care deeply about my daughter and I want her to resume her life."

If I had to be on a set with Screech for a decade I may be in the same condition as Voorhies. Hopefully she can get herself together and the gang from Saved By the Bell can do a reunion entitled "The Midlife Crisis Years'. Just don't invite Bob Golic this time.

in Celebrity Couples, Chris Brown, Rihanna

Poor Rihanna obviously didn't learn her lesson from her first go around from Chris Brown. The Barbados beauty is officially back with the man that famously beat her up just three years ago.

The couple were spotted out in the town secretly in New York earlier this week and took their romance to a new level for all of Brooklyn to see by attending the Jay-Z concert at the Barclays Center yesterday evening.

It is hardly surprising. The couple may have never really split in the first place as secret rendezvous between the pair have been on the web for years now. Let us hope that it ends better in round 2.

X factor ratings unimpressive

in Britney Spears, Demi Lovato, LA Reid, Simon Cowell, X Factor

Simon Cowell tried to revamp the show with the removal of former X Factor judges, Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger and replacing them with Demi Lovato and Britney Spears. According to the official numbers, the change wasnt exactly what he had hoped.

The two hour season 2 premiere of the X Factor drew in just 8.5 million viewers. In a strategic move made by NBC, The Voice ran a 3rd episode of blind auditions on Wednesday night, directly competing with the X Factor.

While 8.5 million viewers is a lot, the season one premiere brought in 12.7 million viewers last year, which correlates to a 32% drop in viewship for this weeks Season 2 premiere. Thursdays second airing dropped 3/10, with 8.2 million tuning in. For thursdays ratings, the show placed second behind the season finale of NBC's America's Got Talent, which garnered 10.5 million viewers.

With The Voice returning back to its regular airings on Monday and Tuesday, The X Factor is sure to dominate its time slot this week.

Plus, with the salaries they are earning, a lot is riding on Britney Spears and Demi Lovato to bring more viewers to the show and boost the shows ratings up to where Simon Cowell wants it to be.

The pressure is on.

in Celebrity Hookups, John Mayer, Katy Perry

Back in late August many media outlets had reported the that the brief romance between the two singers had extinguished.

Well it seems the two may have re-lite the flame; The two were seen together at FYF Fest in Los Angeles. In a photo, taken by a fan, the two were seen standing next to each other listening to the music.

It remains to be seen if the two are merely friends or if there is something more to their relationship - only time will tell.

Paris Jackson: Not just MJ's duaghter

in Michael Jackson, Paris Jackson

Can anyone blame Paris Jackson for wanting to be known for something other than Michael Jackson's daughter?

At just 14 years old, Paris is at a critical time in her life when most teenagers are trying step out from their parents shadow and become their own person. Her recent admissions to Glamour show a youg girl, wanting to step out on her own, who is not immune from the pressures of being a teenager. In her interview with Glamour magazine, Paris admitted the following:

"I love my dad, and I'm proud to be his daughter. I just don't think the title 'M.J.'s daughter' fits me. A lot of people think he's the only reason Im making it, but I want to show that I do have talent and that I can make it if I try. I want to be my own person."

"The clique in my class, they don't like me or my friend because we're outside the box. We're not copycats. Prince calls me goth, but I'm moree rock 'n' roll. (I listen to older music like ACDC; Phil Collins is the ish.)A ton of kids at school have made fun of me; if I had to give advice to other girls, I would say, "Hang loose and ignore them. They shouldn't faze you no matter how popular they think they are."

LeAnn Rimes Went to Rehab for an Eating Disorder

in Celebrity Rehab, Eating Disorders, LeAnn Rimes

Ever since LeAnn Rimes, 30, cheated on her husband and got together with Eddie Cibrian, she's been nothing but skin and bones. She claims to eat healthy and insists that she's not too skinny, but pictures paint a different story. Last month Rimes checked into rehab to deal with "anxiety and stress", but those close to her told Star magazine that her eating disorder is becoming a medical emergency.

Sources told the magazine:

“She’s abusing laxatives and constantly forcing herself to throw up after eating.”

While Eddie has expressed support for her decision to seek treatment, it is believed that he may be part of the problem. An insider says:

“She says that Eddie loves skinny women and would never be with a woman who wasn’t tiny.”

A waitress from Hugo's restaurant in Agoura Hills, CA, who recently served LeAnn agrees that the Grammy winner has a big problem, revealing:

“She ordered nothing but steamed peas for dinner.”

The waitress says that even the veggies were too much, and she heard her purging in the bathroom:

“I heard her throw up. She came out and cried, explaining she had to do it – otherwise she couldn’t eat dessert with Eddie and still stay skinny.”

Britney Spears Hasn't Seen Her Kids Since Mid-July

in Britney Spears, Celebrity Children

If this is true, it's awfully sad: the National Enquirer reported this week that Britney Spears has been so caught up in her new-found TV stardom thanks to X-Factor that she's not spending time with her two young boys. The Enquirer claims that Brit hasn't seen Sean, 7, or Jayden, 6, since July because she's been too busy jetting around the country for the show and spending time with her fiance.

Instead of seeing her children during her downtime, the Enquirer states that Britney, 30, has been enjoying romantic dinners and weekend getaways with her fiance, Jason Trawick. A source told the magazine:

“It’s as if she’s tired of being a mom because she’s so caught up in her newfound TV stardom. She’s losing touch with those kids.”

Spears' ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has full custody of the two boys. Britney is entitled to visitation several times a week.

The source added:

"Britney has been turning down her scheduled visitsShe says she’s too tired or too stressed. It’s shameful!”

The source says that the last time Britney saw the boys was in mid-July:

Script for "Entourage" Film Will Be Completed This Weekend

in Movies

In my opinion, Entourage was good for a couple years, but quickly grew stale, and by the time HBO decided to end it, it had already jumped the shark. Nevertheless, plans to make the series into a big-screen movie are moving forward. The long rumored project may finally have a completed script.

According to reports, the screenplay is now getting its final touches. An email from the show's creator, Doug Ellin, who is writing the script, says that he is currently on page 110 and is "gonna finish by Sunday (I pray)." Ellin added that executive producer Mark Wahlberg, whose life created the groundwork for the series, have been channeling fan anticipation and is putting pressure on him to just get it done already.

Ellin wrote:

“[Mark promised] to kill me if I don’t write faster. Every time I see him, Mark says, ‘I’ve made 5 movies this year. Get going!’”

The movie promises to pick up where season 8 left off, telling the story of Ari Gold who assumes responsibilities as a new studio head. Ellin explained that the film will pick up 6 month after the finale cliffhanger, and says:

in Kate Middleton, Nekkid Celebs, Prince William

The same French magazine that published the photos of Kate Middleton topless said this morning that they have more photos of Kate and William engaged in, um, adult activities.

The editor of Closer magazine, Laurence Pieau, hints that there are even more steamy photos of the royal couple, saying:

“I won’t hide the fact that there are more intimate pictures that exist that we haven’t published and will not publish. These images are full of joy, not degrading."

Pieau tried to defend the magazine's publication of the pictures by calling them "beautiful", and stating that it's not her fault that we're all getting up in arms about it.
