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

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

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: Second Porn Star Claims Josh Duggar Paid Her for Sex

It has been a minute since we have heard any new allegations about Josh Duggars bad behavior but it looks like someone new has come forward with a tale to tell. Duggar is currently sitting in a religious rehab, attempting to get help for what is starting to resemble a sex addiction. He has admitted to molesting his sisters and also cheating on his wife, Anna Duggar, with various women. According to a new report by In Touch magazine, a second porn star is starting to talk about her rough encounter with the shamed reality star.

There's little doubt the Duggar is likely guilty of whatever this woman will accuse him of and the real question lies with Anna. How much will be too much for the poor mother of four? While the Duggar family is dead set against divorce, it's worth mentioning that in the midst of all of the public humiliation, Anna has packed up her kids and moved back in with her parents in Florida.

Will she eventually choose to try and reconcile with her shady husband? Or do you think that once he is released from rehab Anna might instead decide to stay close to her parents instead? Will this latest woman coming forward be the final straw?

Currently Booming: Jessica Simpson's Family Wants Her in Rehab

(Photo: Twitter)
Did you see footage of Jessica Simpson's recent appearance on the Home Shopping Network? The 35-year-old star was so out of sorts that even some of her biggest fans took to social media to slam her for appearing intoxicated during her segment. While HSN and Simpson have both insisted that she was completely sober, it seems that her addiction issues have become so bad that it's impossible to keep them hidden.

According to a new report by In Touch sources close to Simpson say that those closest to the star know that she has addiction issues. "She has a substance-abuse problem. She’s taking Adderall and anti-anxiety pills. And on top of that, she drinks. They’ve known for a while that she has a problem, But after fans slammed Simpson for appearing “wasted” during an HSN appearance, it “was a huge wakeup call.”

Supposedly, Simpson's husband and parents are all in agreement that she needs professional help. Her two young children are Simpson's top priority so the chance of her checking in to a facility is pretty unlikely so they are looking at other options. Apparently, in-home rehab programs are a possibility and if Simpson decided to go that route she would still be hands-on with her kids. The problem is getting her to agree to get help. So far Simpson seems to be in denial of just how erratic her behavior has become.

Do you believe that Simpson is really clean and sober or do you think that her need for help is pretty hard to hide?



Currently Booming: Anna Duggar Reportedly Living in Florida With Parents- Will She Leave Josh for Good?

It sounds like hunkering down with the Duggar clan was a little too overwhelming for Anna Duggar, the young wife of Josh Duggar. Since her husband admitted to paying for sex via Ashley Madison (a bombshell that came just months after he also admitted to molesting his sisters) she has quietly taken her kids and moved in with her parents in Florida. Apparently, Anna's parents' home is kind of like a retreat for the young mom of four who is left to pick up the pieces after being deeply humiliated by Josh.

While the family supported Anna bringing her four kids to spend time with them, a new report by In Touch claims that her parents will ultimately encourage her to work out the problems in her marriage with Josh. He is currently in a religious rehab of some kind, seeking help for his addiction to sex and Anna does intend to eventually visit. 

She’s looking forward to seeing him in a month or two when the first spousal visitation is allowed. She just prays that he gets the help he needs so they can go on with their life together, despite everything he did to her.”

I have to admit, I'm actually pretty surprised that the controlling Duggars even allowed Anna to take the kids and go even temporarily. While she is supposedly playing the role of dutiful wife, as demanded by them, this girl obviously does have a bit of a backbone if she is challenging them on anything. Do you think that she will dare to actually leave Josh for good?

Josh Duggar Reportedly Has No Remorse for Cheating Via Ashley Madison

(Photo: Instagram)
Josh Duggar's bad behavior has been grabbing headlines for months now and while he has publicly apologized for embarrassing his wife Anna and the rest of the Duggar family, his sincerity is now being questioned. He came clean almost immediately after being linked to an active Ashley Madison account and admitted that he wasted thousands of dollars for the thrill of hooking up with other site users and apologized for his hypocritical behavior. Once a stripper also came out of the wood work with a story to tell, Duggar checked himself into a religious rehab program, leaving poor Anna to deal with the fallout while caring for the couples' four small children.

Is Duggar really sorry for the mountain of hurt and embarrassment that his actions have caused? According to a report by Entertainment Tonight, not really.

 "While Josh’s public statements have been filled with apologies for viewing porn online – a confession that has since been removed – and being unfaithful to his wife, Anna, a source close to the Duggar family tells ET Josh has “no remorse.”

“No remorse,” the source says. “He is not the person everyone thought they knew.”
Josh even joked about the molestation allegations when they first came to light earlier this year, the source tells ET. The Duggar family has also discovered that Josh had multiple social media profiles through Facebook, OKCupid and other sites. Because Josh traveled for work “all the time,” the source says it wouldn’t be surprising if multiple mistresses reveal themselves. “Anna didn’t check up on Josh because she trusted him,” the source says.

It kind of sounds like those close to Duggar think that he might be more sorry for getting caught than he is about his actions in the first place. What are your thoughts on this? Is he really just that shady guy that can't help but live a double life or will this trip to rehab actually "fix" whatever is actually wrong?

Hearse Seen Leaving Hospice Facility Under Heavy Security, Has Bobbi Kristina Died?



After spending nearly six months in a vegetative state it looks like the sad end might finally be near for Bobbi Kristina Brown. Bobby Brown's 22-year-old-daughter has never regained consciousness after being found in a tub of water on January 31st and the family recently decided to transfer her to hospice where she can die in peace. Yesterday Brown's condition appeared to possibly take a turn for the worse when a white tent was constructed to block the back door of the hospice facility. Shortly thereafter a hearse was seen backing into the secluded area leading many to think that Brown may have finally passed.

This medical crisis has been extremely sad right from the start with various members of both the Brown and Houston families alleging that Brown's boyfriend, Nick Gordon was responsible for her condition. Gordon eventually checked himself into rehab and completed an intensive program. He has relocated to Florida but remains under investigation because Brown had been beaten before she was found in her bathtub. Her estate has also filed a $10 million suit against Gordon alleging all sorts of physical abuse and also they claim that he has stolen from Brown while she lay comatose for months.

Once Brown's family finally came to terms with the fact that she can't possibly recover and decided to let her go there was renewed interest in the criminal investigation because once she does die then murder charges are a possibility. The question is whether or not the Atlanta police have pieced together enough to formally charge Gordon with anything substantial. He recently hired Casey Anthony's attorney to help him wade through the mess so it seems that Gordon is expecting to be hit with something heavy duty.


Do you think that Brown has already died and the family is just waiting to announce it? Tell us your thoughts on this sad situation in the comments below!
