Currently Booming: Fleetwood Mac's 'Rumours' Released 40 Years Ago!

 

Arguably one of the best albums to come out of the 1970's. Rumours is basically an inside look at the trauma and drama that Fleetwood Mac was experiencing while writing and recording it. Divorce, drug abuse, affairs. You name it, it was happening. They've described themselves as basically all being married to each other and the result is this wonderfully complicated album.

 



Currently Booming: Will Scott Disick Attend the Kardashian's Christmas Festivities?

Is Scott Disick going to show up to celebrate Christmas with the Kardashian's? That seems to be the biggest question swirling around him this week. Disick, never the most stable person, has been especially thrown for a loop by the recent reports that his former love, Kourtney Kardashian has been hooking up with Justin Bieber, of all people. Apparently his reportedly cheating with younger chicks for years was just fine but watching Kardashian even have a fling with the much younger Biebs is a totally different story.

Disick was rumored to have been hoping for a reconciliation with his baby mama and even took a trip to rehab last month in the hopes of getting himself together. Unfortunately, just a few weeks after being released there have been various reports of Disick hitting the party circuit again. It has also been confirmed that he will be hosting the New Year's Eve bash at 1Oak in Vegas, one of his favorite places.

With so many issues swirling it's no wonder that Disick's participation in the family holidays is being questioned. Do you think that he'll show up to celebrate with his kids and ex?

Currently Booming: 'LHHNY' Mendeecees Harris Sentenced to 97 Months in Jail for Drug Trafficking

After spending the last few years stuck in limbo, Mendeecees Harris finally knows exactly what his punishment will be for his part in a drug ring that trafficked heroin from NYC to Rochester for several years. Recently, the Love & Hip Hop NY star was sentenced to 97 months behind bars. Earlier this year Harris accepted a plea deal which cut down his prison time significantly. He also married longtime girlfriend, Yandy Smith shortly after welcoming a daughter to their family, proving that life went on in spite of his looming jail time.

Shortly after being sentenced Harris issued a statement urging others to learn from his situation.

"I want you all to understand something. I completely accept responsibility for all that is going on. My transition to be a better person a productive person started well before this case. However in my past I made some bad decisions. Young men let my life be an example to you now before it’s too late. Better who you are now in your children’s lives and in society so you can change the path of your fate. Lack of opportunities, a fatherless home, the unforgiving neighborhood and circumstances you grew up in can no longer be your excuse. Trust me I tried. And it doesn’t make the pain your family feels any different. Young man educate yourself and break the cycle. Don’t become a number on the DOA (dead on arrival) list or on the incarceration list. To my wife and children, you are all strong and well prepared for this. This is just another brick laid down towards our house of happily ever after. Walk with your head held high knowing I would never pass the buck and put another family through what we have endured. Continue to walk in faith and love as you’ve done so well. To my peoples, thank you for all the encouragement and support please continue to encourage my family. Thank you again all."

As for Smith, she has vowed to stand by Harris and to continue raising their family in his absence. She has also expressed relief at finally knowing when she and Harris would officially be able to put this ordeal behind them. As of now, Harris already gets credit for the fifteen months that he has served so it looks like he will be spending another 7 years behind bars. 

Currently Booming: Scott Weiland's Ex Asks Fans Not to 'Glorify' His Death

Scott Weiland's former wife, Mary Weiland has put pen to paper to write an essay that everyone should read. Weiland struggled for decades with drugs and while his talent was obvious, so much was swept under the rug. Weiland and her two teenage children with the rocker want the world to understand the damage that addiction causes, so they decided to speak out.

"December 3rd, 2015 is not the day Scott Weiland died. It is the official day the public will use to mourn him, and it was the last day he could be propped up in front of a microphone for the financial benefit or enjoyment of others. The outpouring of condolences and prayers offered to our children, Noah and Lucy, has been overwhelming, appreciated and even comforting. But the truth is, like so many other kids, they lost their father years ago. What they truly lost on December 3rd was hope."

Currently Booming: Scott Disick Spotted Filming Reality Footage with Caitlyn Jenner

(Photo: Instagram)

A few weeks after leaving rehab it really does look like Scott Disick's life looks much like it did before he decided to get himself some help. He has been spotted out with baby mama Kourtney Kardashian, as rumors of a reconciliation continue to swirl. Disick has also confirmed that he will be headed back to 1Oak on New Year's Eve to host their holiday blowout bash and now we know that Disick is back to reality television.

According to a report by Radar Online, Disick has been spotted with a camera crew filming scenes with Caitlyn Jenner. That pairing actually makes quite a bit of sense, especially when you consider the fact that both Disick and Jenner are currently struggling to find favor with the Kardashian's as a whole.

Obviously, Disick needs to earn an income from somewhere and he has virtually zero business sense so falling back to the things that made him money before makes sense, but is it too risky? Do you think that Disick can stay sober by continuing to ride that reality television wave? 

Currently Booming: Ex-'STP' Frontman Scott Weiland Found Dead on Tour Bus

(Photo: Twitter)

Such sad news to report this morning in the unexpected passing of Scott Weiland, formerly of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver. The 48-year-old legendary rocker had been traveling with his band and was scheduled to perform last night when his body was found. 

TMZ was the first to report the sad news late last night. "Rock star Scott Weiland was found dead on his tour bus in Minnesota ... Weiland was on tour with his band Scott Weiland & The Wildabouts ... they were supposed to play the Medina Ballroom tonight, but the show was cancelled. A source connected to the band tells us Scott was found Thursday night on the bus around 9 PM.  Police surrounded the bus, which was parked outside a motel in the town of Bloomington, MN. The Hennepin County Coroner now has Weiland's body."

The family issued a statement overnight saying, "Scott Weiland, best known as the lead singer for Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, passed away in his sleep while on a tour stop in Bloomington, Minnesota, with his band The Wildabouts. At this time we ask that the privacy of Scott’s family be respected."

Weiland's career had spanned three decades and his work with STP back in the 90's really helped to propel grunge from just being an indie, college radio thing to mainstream music. When I think of him there's one performance that always comes to mind, the one below where Weiland performs "Sex Type Thing" in a dress. Check it out below. RIP Scott!

Currently Booming: 'RHOBH' Kyle Richards Claims Sister Kim is Sober Again

(Photo: Instagram)

Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills are anxious for the season 6 premiere on Bravo tonight and some of the ladies have done a bit of advance promo this week. Kyle Richards stopped in for a chat with housewives producer, Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM radio show and naturally the conversation eventually turned towards her relationship with sister, Kim Richards, who has had a very messy year.

After insisting that she was clean and sober  for months on end, Kim had two very high profile arrests and then at least one trip to rehab and that's just in the last 6 months. Her relationship with Kyle is usually strained at best with hostility usually rearing its ugly head. Kyle told Cohen that her sister is doing better but that their relationship will likely always be strained.
.
"She’s good right now. She’s happy, she’s good, she’s sober. It’s very difficult. Like I was just saying with Andy, we’ll be OK, and then the show reruns, and we’re like, ‘Oh my gosh,’ and it kind of brings things up again, honestly. It’s not just that, but we have a very difficult relationship, and we probably will always be a work in progress, always. Honestly, I don’t know if it’s ever going to be like, ‘Oh my gosh, it’s just like when we were little now, woo-hoo! Let’s go have ice cream together.’ I hope, but it’s probably not.”

It seemed like Kyle spent years either covering for her sister or else tip toeing around her. Do you think that those days are finally over? While Kim was supposedly fired from RHOBH she is also rumored to have taped some scenes. Do you think she'll turn up on camera in season 6?

Currently Booming: Scott Disick Headed Back to the Clubs Despite Rehab Trip

(Photo: Instagram)

Just the other day Scott Disick was spotted grabbing lunch with Kourtney Kardashian, minus their kids and it looked like a reconciliation could be in the works. Supposedly, if that were to even be a possibility then Disick would have to stay sober and as of right now, it doesn't necessarily look like that's his intention. At the height of his out of control behavior Disick was often found partying at 1OAK in Vegas and he is actually headed back to his old stomping ground.

According to a flyer that the reality star posted on his Instagram yesterday, Disick will be hosting the venue's official New Year's Eve bash. While some people might be able to be around alcohol and avoid indulging, Disick seems much better off simply avoiding situations that will lead to temptation. He is fresh from a rehab stint and I have to wonder what his baby mama really thinks of his agreeing to host another night at 1OAK. 

Do you think that Kardashian will continue to keep a bit of a distance from Disick, especially if he decides to continue regularly hosting club gigs? Or do you think that she has already fallen back into the routine of tolerating his bad behavior?

Currently Booming: 'L&HHATL' Stevie J is Headed Back to Rehab

(Photo: Instagram)

Now this is a shocker, Love & Hip Hop Atlanta's Stevie J is headed back to rehab. Okay, maybe it's not. Anyway, the reality star recently failed a drug test, which meant that jail time was a real possibility. Instead Stevie is going to be given another opportunity to not only clean up his act, but hopefully to get his life together once and for all.

According to a report by TMZ, "Stevie was in court last week for his child support case so the judge could decide whether to revoke his bail for failing a recent drug test. Luck was on Stevie's side -- instead of locking him up, the judge ordered him to enroll in an outpatient drug treatment program. 
Under the order, Stevie must report to a facility twice a week and comply with drug testing."

This round of legal trouble stems from the million dollars in back child support that Stevie owes to one of his baby mama's. This will be his second crack at a rehab program this year. Many in Stevie's inner circle seem to think that his marriage to Joseline Hernandez (and her many vices) isn't helping him to stay clean and sober. Do you think that he can remain with her if he wants to clean up his act for real?

Currently Booming: Khloe Kardashian Lashes Out at Haters on Twitter

(Photo: Instagram)

 

Khloe Kardashian has been taking some major heat from fans for trying to maintain her relationship with James Harden after calling off her divorce from Lamar Odom. At first it looked like she and Odom were on the verge of reuniting and that his near-death overdose had actually brought them back together again. Now, several weeks in to Odom's medical crisis Kardashian has made it clear that fixing things is not on her agenda but that her ex can't even begin to handle any type of legal proceedings for the foreseeable future.

 

Unfortunately, some of Kardashian's most diehard fans not only think that she is still juggling both men, but they have started slamming her on social media and last night, she swung back.

 

 



Kardashian usually won't directly address her haters so these tweets were kind of surprising. They also show that while she may have called the divorce off, she still has major issues and some residual anger towards Odom. The real question is regarding her romance with Harden. Do you think that he will continue to stay in this weird triangle for much longer?

Currently Booming: Former Co-star Jenny McCarthy Blasts Charlie Sheen After HIV Disclosure

(Photo: Twitter)

To say that Hollywood has had a mixed reaction to Charlie Sheen's admission of being HIV+ would be an understatement. So many have crossed paths with the fallen star, leading I'm sure, to many having at least momentary concern about their own health. Some have expressed support and concern for Sheen but many others, including ex-girlfriends and former coworkers, such as Jenny McCarthy, are lashing out.

McCarthy addressed the topic on her radio show this week, saying, "Now being on ‘Two and a Half Men’ myself, I feel like in playing a love interest, you would think there would be some type of, I don’t want to say criminal issue, but I don’t even know how to feel about that. I was like, ‘Wait a second, if I have to be upfront about a herpe, how could you not be upfront about HIV?’ I look back and I’m like, ‘OK, that would have been some valuable information.’ I mean look how many people have played his love interest on the show."

Sheen has said that he was diagnosed in 2011 so there is the possibility that while working with McCarthy he really had no idea that he was HIV+ but still, she makes some pretty valid points. If cold sores legally need to be disclosed then it seems more than fair that an incurable disease would need to be as well.

Do you think that actresses that have worked closely with Sheen over the last few years will try to take action against him?

Currently Booming: Scott Disick Insists He Didn't Cheat on Kourtney Kardashian

(Photo: Instagram)

In the week since Scott Disick left rehab, it seems that he has been working overtime to try and repair his relationship with ex, Kourtney Kardashian. The couple split last July when photos surfaced that seemed to indicate that Disick was reconnecting with an ex-girlfriend. In the months that followed his partying  became more hardcore until he eventually found himself willingly checking in to a rehab facility. Kardashian seems to be thriving as a single mother to the former couples' three children, but Disick wants nothing more than to reconcile with his baby mama.

Disick is apparently trying to lessen some of the damage that he has done and is insisting that while things looked pretty bad, he didn't actually have sex with any of the other women that he has been linked to.

According to a report by Hollywood Life, "Scott has opened up to Kourtney about everything that went down. Although he admits he made some major mistakes, one thing he denies is having slept with Chloe, Lindsay or any other girl. Scott says he was boozing and partying and acting like an idiot. He definitely shouldn’t have been so affectionate with these girls — but he says he never had sex with them, Kourtney doesn’t know what to believe. She wants to believe him, but she feels like she’s an idiot if she does."

Do you believe that Disick was actually loyal to Kardashian? Or do you think this is just one of those lies that he has to insist on in order to try and get her back?

Currently Booming: Scott Disick Left Rehab- But Is It Too Soon?

(Photo: Instagram)

Scott Disick has spent most of the last month seeking treatment in a luxury Malibu rehab facility and on Tuesday, he confirmed that his inpatient stay was complete. The reality star posted a photo of himself boarding a private jet, on his Instagram account, showing the world that he is once again a free man. The question is whether or not he should have stayed in treatment for awhile longer.

Supposedly Disick is hoping that by seeking serious help for his various addictions, then baby mama Kourtney Kardashian will agree to give their relationship another chance. The couple split back in July after several years together, primarily because Disick was caught cheating with an old flame. In the months that have followed, Kardashian seems to have settled into single motherhood quite easily (probably because she has been juggling the couples' three kids primarily on her own since day one anyway) and she seems to have enjoyed not being tangled in the chaos that went with dating Disick.

According to a report by People magazine, Disick is looking much better since cleaning up his act and seems grateful to have pulled himself together before he ended up like Lamar Odom. Do you think that this time around he will manage to steer clear of the booze and drugs ? Even if he does maintain his sobriety, will Kardashian be willing to take the huge risk of taking him back? Or is putting their family back together her ultimate goal? 

Currently Booming: Was Bobbi Kristina Ready to Go to Rehab Before Tragic Accident?

(Photo: Twitter)

Nearly four months after the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown we're now learning that while her life with boyfriend, Nick Gordon appeared to be completely out of control, her family was actively trying to get her help. In recent weeks several friends of the troubled star have spoken on the record about her extreme drug use in the weeks leading up to her being face down in a tub full of water and how she was in really rough shape. While Whitney Houston's daughter may have tried to hide her addiction from family members, they still knew exactly what was going on.

According to an interview Brown's aunt, Pat Houston gave to People magazine, rehab was to be her next stop. "I decided she was going to rehab because that’s where we had called to set up for her to go. She didn’t make it. She found out that I was coming for her, not to do an intervention, because I didn’t want to go through that with her. I just wanted her to come back and talk to me so we could figure out how this was going to take place because she needed to go.”

It must be devastating for the family now to think that if they had intervened sooner then Brown might still be alive today, right? In the months since her death, Brown's estate has filed a suit against Gordon, alleging that he gave her a hot shot of drugs and then placed her in the bathtub where she nearly drowned. He has been under investigation for most of this year but as of yet, no criminal charges have been filed against him.

Do you think that Gordon will ever be held legally accountable for Brown's death?

Currently Booming: Bobbi Kristina's Brown's Hospice Caregiver was NOT a Real Nurse

There's a stunning new development connected to the death of Bobbi Kristina Brown, one that actually isn't connected to Nick Gordon, her former boyfriend. Brown spent nearly six months comatose after nearly drowning in her own bathtub and part of that time was spent at Peachtree Christian Hospice in Georgia. We're now learning that a woman in charge of Bobbi Kristina Brown's care at the hospice where she died was impersonating a nurse and faces charges that include identity fraud and nursing without a license.

Taiwo Sobamowo was the nurse in charge of caring for Brown but according to a police report, she was not actually licensed. The hospice CEO, Mallie Sharafat issued a statement yesterday saying, "We had no reason to believe that she was anything other than a good nurse with proper credentials. As soon as the credentialing discrepancy was discovered by one of our employees, we immediately took action and notified the appropriate authorities."

Peachtree has since taken steps to re-credential all of its employees but there are still a multitude of questions regarding Brown's care that this development has raised. Do you think that the Houston and Brown families will now launch an investigation of their own to see if Sobamowo make errors in caring for Bobbi Kristina?  Also, if this the opening that Gordon has been waiting for to try and pin blame on someone else?

Up until now Gordon has been under investigation and there are a lot of unanswered questions about how Brown ended up in that bathtub and what events lead to that moment when she was discovered. Are we going to see Gordon try and take all of the fingers that have been pointing at him and spin them in a different direction?

Currently Booming: Khloe Kardashian Backs Off as Lamar Odom Refuses Rehab

(Photo: Instagram)

Lamar Odom seems to be making great strides in his recovery from a nearly fatal drug overdose but some of his choices are raising red flags for Khloe Kardashian. The former lovebirds called off their divorce a few weeks ago but she has been quick to point out that this decision doesn't equally mean that a reconciliation is in the works. In fact, as Odom takes more control over his own medical decisions, some of his choices aren't sitting at all well with his ex.

According to a report by Radar Online, “Khloe told Lamar that after he was released from the hospital, he would need to go to rehab for substance abuse addiction. Lamar balked and said no way….Blaming the hookers for his overdose, Lamar is still insisting he doesn’t have a drug problem. He is still in denial.”

It was also reported yesterday that Odom has been requesting stronger pain medication from his doctors, such as the highly addictive Oxycontin. Up until this past week his doctor's were hesitant to give him anything at all strong because they are trying not to treat him with anything that will tap into his already huge addiction issues. Kardashian was already worried about what kinds of medication he would be treated with and was crushed to even think that his necessary care now could feed his addictions and understandably so.

Rehab seems like a no-brainer, at least from the reality star's perspective, right? Do you think that a reconciliation is now hanging on whether or not Odom decides to take himself to rehab? Can you blame Kardashian if she says that it does? 

Currently Booming: Khloe Kardashian Fears Relapse as Lamar Odom Drug Seeks in the Hospital

Khloe Kardashian may have put a halt on her divorce from Lamar Odom but we're learning that ir really doesn't necessarily mean that a reconciliation is in the cards either. After a few weeks of hospitalization, Odom's condition has stabilized so much that he is now able to make his own medical decisions and some of those choices are really scaring Kardashian.

While Odom has to be in pretty significant pain his doctor's are being very careful with his treatment because of his addiction issues. They were avoiding giving him anything strong for pain and apparently the former NBA star has now begun asking for some hard core meds.

According to a report by Radar Online, “Lamar was moved out of ICU earlier this week because of the progress that has been made. He is no longer on dialysis. But there are concerns because Lamar has been asking for copious amounts of pain medication, including Oxycontin.”

We have heard in the last few days that Kardashian has finally left Odom's bedside and the decision to do so has been made easier by her ex's requesting Oxycontin. Supposedly she has made it clear that if he turns back to the drugs that nearly killed him, then she is finished with supporting him in any way. Do you think that if left to his own devices, Odom will return to a life of drugs?

Currently Booming: Kaley Cuoco's Divorce Due to Ryan Sweeting's Drug Problems

(Photo: Twitter)

I told you last month that the split between Kaley Cuoco and Ryan Sweeting was likely to get messy and this morning we're starting to learn more about why their relationship crumbled. Not that they seemed like a couple that had a great shot at making it, especially when you consider that they were spotted fighting in public just weeks after swapping vows. Supposedly Sweeting has a temper and Cuoco requires a lot of attention, but what we didn't know was about a burgeoning drug problem.

According to a report by Page Six, “Kaley gave him an ultimatum: ‘If you don’t stay sober, then I’m done.’ He went to rehab, but when he came out he went missing for a period of time . . . like four days. Reports surfaced about Sweeting taking painkillers last year, but a source tells us his addiction issues began well before that. “He had some drinking issues in college and he was doing painkillers as early as 2013 at least,” said the source.

Supposedly, Sweeting just recently wrapped up another stint in rehab but it wasn't enough to save his marriage. Cuoco filed for divorce in September and Sweeting just filed documents of his own requesting that he be paid spousal support. Cuoco is expected to fight that request and it's starting to sound like she was very wise to insist on a prenup before they married.

Rumors have also swirled that Sweeting's team is looking for a loophole in the prenup so that he can go after a portion of that as well.  Do you think that he is going to try and take Cuoco for every last dime that he can get out of her?

Currently Booming: Kris Jenner Anxious to Shop Lamar Odom's First Interview After Overdose

(Photo: Twitter)

Lamar Odom may be the first man on earth that can say that hookers and a drug bender in a brothel basically repaired his marriage. We already know that the original divorce petition made by Khloe Kardashian nearly two years ago was withdrawn last week, meaning that at least for now these two are choosing to remain married. While Kardashian's motives are likely coming from the right place, the same can't be said of her mother, Kris Jenner's motives.

Jenner has a knack for zeroing in on family pain and mining it for reality television gold and apparently Odom's overdose and the medical crisis that has followed it is making her see dollar signs. She can't wait for Odom's first post-overdose interview to be scheduled.

According to a report by Radar Online, “Anyone saying they’ve not been filming throughout this doesn’t know what they’re talking about.  Kris is licking her lips at all the money she’ll make on the back of Lamar’s OD. She puts on a good show of maternal concern, but there’s always an agenda with Kris and Lamar’s troubles are no exception.”

Are you at all surprised that Jenner is happy to be able to use this tragic situation as a way to keep the Kardashian money making machine spinning?

Currently Booming: Kourtney Kardashian Refuses to Visit Scott Disick in Rehab

(Photo: Twitter)

This trip to rehab seems to be different for Scott Disick. Rather than turning it into a way to make money or cutting out after just a few days, he has stayed and worked hard on himself for weeks now. His baby mama, Kourtney Kardashian dumped him back in July and in the months that followed Disick's addictions caused him to really spiral out of control. He is now supposedly hoping for a reconciliation but it seems that Kardashian isn't having that, at least not yet.

Last weekend, Kris Jenner took Disick's three small children to visit him in rehab and Kardashian was nowhere to be found. Rather than giving him false hope or distracting him from the work that he needs to do, Kardashian decided to steer clear of the Malibu rehab facility and not visit her ex.

Disick is no doubt really hoping that once Kardashian sees that he's clean and sober, she'll then take him back. Do you think that it'll go that way? Will she be able to put everything in the past in order to build a future with him? Or has too much irreversible damage already been done to their relationship? Should Kardashian keep it moving or should she give their relationship one last chance?
