Dark and Stormie: Teen Mom Family Feud Continues For Farrah Abraham

The family feud rages on between Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham and the family of her deceased boyfriend over visitation of Farrah's daughter Sophia.
"I'm not giving up," Stormie Clark, the mother of Derek Underwood, told Radar Online exclusively after a judge recently denied her visitation rights.
Clark's son tragically died in a car crash in 2008 just two months before his on-again, off-again girlfriend, Farrah Abraham, gave birth to Sophia.

For Farrah Abraham, the battle for Sophia continues.
"In the state of Iowa in order to get grandparents rights your child has to be deceased and my son passed away," Stormie Clark explained.
"Then you have to have had a substantial relationship with the child. This is not fair because I'm not able to do that because of Farrah."
"The easiest thing to do would be talk to Farrah and work this out. I am 110 percent willing to do that, but that's not the case for her. Prior to trying to get visitation I've tried to reach out to Farrah while she was pregnant and she ignored me."
During season 2 of the hit MTV reality show, Clark's daughter Kassy appeared alongside Farrah, who learned the results of the paternity test.
"My daughter is not on the show anymore because Farrah only wanted her on the show for ratings and now wants nothing to do with her," Clark said. "I think Farrah has changed her phone number so none of us can call her."
Clark said she wouldn't visit uninvited, and couldn't anyway: "I don't know where she lives," and fears Farrah would "probably call the cops," she said.
Her only explanation for the familial distance is "she's spiteful."
"She's said on the show that we never supported the relationship [between her and my son], but her family didn't support the relationship either."
"It was just because they fought all the time. And I understand teenagers will do that. They were on-again, off-again, and Derek [my son] would always be upset. I just wanted them to move on because they never got along."

Lauren Conrad Denies Feud With Audrina Patridge

Audrina Patridge's drunk mom tried to start $h!t, but Lauren Conrad says she's not in competition with Audrina. There's room for two reality shows to coexist!
There's been no comment from Audrina on her mom's drunken rant (for which she later apologized), during which Lynn Patridge called The Hills girls "tramps."
Regarding her new reality show, Lynn said her daughter would fare better than Lauren Conrad, whom she called a "b!tch" who does "frilly fashion $h!t."

Lauren Conrad says it's all good with Audrina.
Lauren doesn't see eye-to-eye with Lynn, fortunately, saying there's no bad blood whatsoever and that she doesn't view Audrina Patridge as competition.
LC's new reality show is also coming out soon.
Asked on Monday about Audrina's newly-picked up VH1 show, Conrad told Us, "I think it's good for her. And no, I really don't think about it like that at all."
Regarding the rant itself, LC smiled and said, "I really don't have a comment on that right now, thanks." Good to see someone knows how to keep it classy.

David Beckham to Launch Men's Underwear Line

He's stripped down multiple times for Armani, but David Beckham will soon be getting nearly naked for no one but himself. And millions of women around the world, of course.
Sources confirm that the 35-year old soccer star/stud will soon launch his own line of men's underwear, as one insider told MTV UK:
"The whole planet went nuts when David stripped off for his Armani ads. Sales went through the roof. It was decided not to renew the Armani contract and develop a business of David’s own. He has seen how fulfilling it has been for Victoria to branch out and relishes a similar challenge.”
For the Ladies
Reports indicate that sales of Armani increased by 30% with Beckham as the face/body of the brand.
The handsome athlete is being advised by designer Stella McCartney's husband Alasdhair Willis, who is said to be “focused on turning David into a major fashion presence." With a physique such as this, it shouldn't be that difficult.

Michael Lohan to Patrick Lovato: Let's Fight!

Michael Lohan just can't believe the father of a troubled young celebrity is exploiting his daughter's situation for publicity and money.
Lindsay's dad is referring to Patrick Lovato, who keeps speaking to the media about his child's self-esteem issues and has also mentioned Michael's rehabbing offspring in a couple of interviews.
In response, the man who has never met a microphone he didn't embrace says he has "two reasons why I have no respect for people who talk or comment about others." They are:
Major DouchenozzleLovato on the Red Carpet
Until Patrick Lovato becomes as much of an egocentric jerk as Michael Lohan, daughter Demi will be forced to stand-in for photos of her rarely-seen father.
"In most cases, those individuals are looking from the outside in, and they are passing judgment or commenting on people they know nothing about. The second reason is because they are too cowardly to say it to the person themselves."
And if Mr. Lovato did confront Mr. Lohan? "I will pay for... his hospital bills," Michael said.

Madonna Compares Bullying Gays to Holocaust

Bullying is getting a lot of publicity these days, with an outspoken Madonna joining a chorus of celebrities in voicing opposition to this disturbing trend.
Not surprisingly, the music icon used stronger words than most.
Appearing via satellite on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Madonna makes a heartfelt plea to end bullying, which she likens to lynching or the Holocaust.

Madonna never minces words.
"I'm incredibly disturbed and saddened by the overwhelming number of teen suicides that have been reported lately because of bullying," she says.
"Suicide in general is disturbing. Teenagers committing suicide is extremely disturbing, but to hear that teenagers are taking their lives because they are being bullied in schools and dormitories, what have you, is kind of unfathomable."
Madonna, who says she was bullied herself as a kid in Michigan, was just getting started on a "rampage" troubled kids could all learn a lesson from ...
"I still feel different," she says. "I can totally relate to the idea of feeling isolated and alienated. I was incredibly lonely as a child, as a teenager. I have to say I never felt like I fit in in school. I wasn't a jock. I wasn't an intellectual."
"There was no group that I felt a part of. I just felt like a weirdo."
It wasn't until her gay ballet teacher took her under his wing and introduced her to a community of artists that she felt "it was OK to be different."
The gay community "has been incredibly supportive of me," says the 52-year-old star. "I wouldn't have a career if it weren't for the gay community."
She's been talking to her children about bullying, too.
"We talk a lot about the importance of not judging people who are different - not judging people who don't fit into our expected view of what's cool and what isn't," she says. "The concept that we are torturing teenagers because they are gay - it's unfathomable. It's like lynching black people or Hitler exterminating Jews."
"Sorry if I'm going on a rampage right now, but this is America. The land of the free and the home of the brave. I think it would be interesting for everybody to try one simple experiment: Try to get through the day ... without gossiping about somebody. Not only that, not even listening to gossip, walking away from it."
"Can you imagine what your day would be like? How much more free time you'd have? I also feel like you'd feel about better about yourself."
If that's a rampage, no need to apologize, Madge. Bravo, we say. In light of what's happening with Demi Lovato and thousands of other teens from all walks of life, it's a message we could all learn from. Tolerance. Acceptance. Love.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Review: Totally Trashed!

It was a week of trashy vignettes on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. From ruinous songs to furniture to marriages, our intern has sucked it up and reviewed the latest installment of this Bravo trainwreck. Enjoy...
Simply put, the ladies were a mess this week.  Except Sheree, who was MIA.
Kandi is now looking to produce openly gay Lawrence, Sheree's hair stylist, and turn him into the next generation's RuPaul.  It seems the lady boy has a set of pipes on him that rivals Cristina Aquilera's.  Kandi's even written a little ditty called "Closet Freak" especially for this crooner. Kim is none too happy that Kandi's attention has waned from her screeching cat vocals.
Kim and Kandi
NeNe hopes 50-year-old Peter will inspire Bryson to actually get a job.  She sets up a meeting between the two in which she hopes 50-year-old Peter will teach lazy ass Bryson all about club promotions.
Cynthia meets up with her daughter Noelle's baby daddy.  It's Leon, the guy who played Madonna's lover priest in "Like A Prayer!"  Leon gives Cynthia advice on how NOT to get cold feet about her inevitable marriage to 50-year-old Peter.  Odd as it may seem to be getting advice from Leon, Cynthia trusts his judgment, but still wonders: if she could break up with her soul mate, what chance does 50-year-old Peter have?
Kim and Kandi work on the new track "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing.  Kim complains that she needs curtains and that the notes are too high. Um, no, you need curtains to hide the fact that you can't sing.  Kandi tells Kim to get vocal lessons.  No duh.
Phaedra has a meeting with Latavia Roberson, ex-member of Destiny's Child. Latavia was apparently kicked out of Destiny's Child when Beyonce came on board and, soon after, Latavia developed a major drinking problem, got arrested and charged with DUI and served time in prison.  Phaedra sees dollar signs in Latavia's devastating story and wants to produce a one woman show.  After all, Phaedra's got the Midas touch.
Kim and Nene get together over Patron margaritas and swampy nachos and bitch about Big Poppa and Gregg.  Nene points out that she's a married woman and Kim's a mistress. Therefore, this is NOT a tale of two cities.  However, Kim just continues to blather on about men being controlling a-holes and, hey, Nene, will you listen to my new song and agree with me on how much it sucks? 
Nene has no time for this foolishness in the midst of her marital breakdown, but there she is in the car ripping into "The Ring Don't Mean A Thing."
Preparing dinner in their kitchen, Cynthia reassures 50-year-old Peter that she'll go through with the marriage, but she wants a ring.
Recording Trash
Kim realizes she owes too much in storage fees to house all the tacky junk she's bought over the years with Big Poppa's money.  Hurting for cash, she decides to have a yard/parking lot sale on the side of a major highway.  
Kim's dad helps her with the sale and promptly begins to undersell everything.  Nene stops by and needs a bed for her 80-year-old aunt and dad offers to sell her Kim's for $1,800.  Sold!  Kim has a conniption because she paid $20,000 for the set, so she drowns her sorrows in a travel mug full of wine.
Phaedra also stops by and turns up her nose at Kim's "estate" sale.  The ladies go to lunch, where once again the topic of Phaedra's pregnancy and her lack of mathematical skills rears their ugly head.  Phaedra claims labor will be induced at seven months.  She also doesn't want to be screaming like a wolf and pooping on the table when the baby arrives.  Nene flips out (again) and wants Phaedra to shut up before people realize how crazy she is.  Why the lack of math skills?  Whose baby is this?  Was Apollo in prison at the time Phaedra got knocked up? 
The drama is unbearable... not!
Kim gets up the nerve to tell Kandi she doesn't like the song.  Her fans have come to expect more from her! All of a sudden she's Clive Davis.  Kandi resents the fact that Grammy-less Kim is giving her creative advice and tells Kim to get herself some vocal lessons and that this time she wants to get paid.
Nene invites Cynthia and 50-year-old Peter over to dinner at her house.  She introduces 50-year-old Peter to Bryson.  The former gives the latter some half-assed advice about working hard... blah blah blah.  Bryson makes a lame attempt to care, but it's going in one ear and out the other. 
Meanwhile,  Nene and Gregg start ripping into each other.  Nene's drinking like a sailor on leave hitting the local TGIF and makes her guests incredibly uncomfortable.  Gregg mimics hanging himself.  Just as his guests want to do at this point.  Nene confronts Gregg about his lack of communication skills, but Gregg just runs away to his basement "apartment."
The back and forth insults nearly drive Cynthia into hysterics.  Nene reveals that Gregg cheated on her and she wants a divorce.  But she wants another drink even more.  Cynthia's marriage fears are once again confirmed.  Trash talk indeed!
