  • Jennifer Garner And Ben Affleck Trying To Save Their Troubled Marriage?

    Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are just two weeks away from their 10th wedding anniversary but the couple is currently dealing with conflicts in their marriage.

    For the past few years, there have been frequent rumors of breakup but this time an insider verified to Us Weekly that their marriage is coming to an end. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. The marriage is in trouble,” the insider stated.

    Despite the turmoil in their relationship, the Hollywood couple is trying to salvage their relationship by taking couples therapy. Affleck and Garner are still holding in the interest of their children Violet, 9, Seraphina, 6, and Samuel, 3. One source close to the couple said, “They are trying to work it out for the kids’ sake, but things are not all peaches and cream with them.”

    The couple has been in therapy. “They each go separately, and they also go together. When things are rough, they go more often,” the same source added.

    When Garner and Affleck fight, the two go to separate places to loosen the tension. Affleck prefers the comfort of the Hotel Bel-Air during their bad times. “He stays there whenever he and Jen are having problems,” said an insider, who added that Ben will order cocktails at the bar. “There’s no need to sugarcoat it. Ben is drinking again.”

    Whenever they are together, the tension seems to be discernible. “They speak in short, direct sentences to each other. They can be passive-aggressive and dismissive,” a source close to Affleck said.

    Another source close to the couple revealed their major issues stating, “Among their biggest issues? Affleck’s workaholic nature and many vices.”

    And now Farrah Abraham wants to trade places and become the one who does the plumping on others.

    “Hopefully in five years I can go back to school. I really want to get my doctorate and I want to do plastic surgery. So that’s just something on top of all of the other things I want to do but that would probably be my end goal,” she told E! News.

    But until she commences on her road to a while coat, Farrah Abraham will continue to promote her line of sex toys and write more erotic novels.

  • Nikki Ferrell Cries Over Juan Pablo Galavis on ‘Couples Therapy’: No JPab, Es Not OK

    No, Juan Pablo, es not OK!

    Nikki Ferrell broke down on Wednesday’s episode of VH1’s Couples Therapy.

    And here’s the shocker — or not. She had a meltdown because her The Bachelor boyfriend, Juan Pablo Galavis, who never stopped saying “Es OK” during season 18 of the ABC series in his native Venezuelan accent, refused to say he loves her.

    Again.

    On the After the Final Rose finale in March, Galavis said, “I like you,” in response to her declaration of love and has yet to say those three words to the 26-year-old pediatric nurse.

    “I feel like why give someone 100 percent, if they’re not giving you 100 percent?” Ferrell, 27, cried to her therapist, Dr. Jenn Berman, and her fellow housemates.

    “I still feel like he’s holding back… If I’m always gonna have this feeling like I’m always waiting for him to choose me, the relationship is not gonna work. I feel like he could up and leave from this relationship at any time, and he’ll be completely fine with it,” she lamented.

    JPab responded to her tirade, “She wants to hear I love you. It’s a word issue. It’s a feeling. It’s a word. I feel like I cannot be without her… She wants to hear ‘I love you.’ To me it kind of sucks that just three words will make her feel 100 percent confident.

    “If I say it, I mean it,” he insisted.

    “Do you love Nikki?” an apparent expert on lying and deception on the show asked Galavis point blank.

    “I can say, ‘Yeah, I’m falling for her big time,’” he said. “Do I love her, as to tell her, ‘I love you?’ No.”

    Yeah, I bet that went over well.

    I’m not going to say it, but I bet you can guess what I’m thinking.

  • Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi In Therapy After Divorce And Cheating Rumors

    Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi are now in therapy, sources say. The two have been the target of divorce rumors, and an insider says that De Rossi thinks DeGeneres had an affair with their mutual friend right before she entered rehab in May.

    According to reports, De Rossi checked into rehab to receive treatment for her alcohol and drug use. They had a fight because of DeGeneres’ alleged cheating.

    “Portia hadn’t been happy for a while and was drinking and isolating [herself], and Ellen confronted her,” the insider said. De Rossi said that DeGeneres was the one who drove her to drink, saying that she does not love her anymore. The statement affected DeGeneres and she “screamed at Portia to get out.” The source also said that DeGeneres has a domineering personality, while De Rossi is passive and never complains.

    For the past few weeks, there were reports that the couple will soon be divorcing. Amidst the cheating and divorce rumors, it seems that the couple is doing their best to save their relationship through therapy.

    Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi try to save their marriage

    “It’s going to take a lot for Portia to trust Ellen again. They kept up with the therapy after Portia got out of rehab, but they still have a long way to go,” said the source. They have been trying hard to spend more time together and mend their relationship. A month ago, the two were spotted on a yacht together.

    The source said that DeGeneres loves De Rossi “more than anything in the world” and she wants to ensure that she is physically and emotionally healthy. She is supporting her wife’s recovery and has given up alcohol. DeGeneres is glad that her partner is out of rehab and she is enjoying their time together.

    DeGeneres and De Rossi were married in 2008. According to reports, they will be renewing their wedding vows next month in celebration of their sixth anniversary.

  • Ellen DeGeneres: Did She Cheat on Portia de Rossi?

    Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have been in the headlines for weeks, with headlines of divorce rumors, meltdowns, and a stint in rehab for Portia thrown straight into the public eye. Now one source says Ellen cheated on Portia right before that rehab stay. It seems Portia believes that Ellen had an affair with a mutual friend right before she headed off to rehab in May.

    Ellen DeGeneres reportedly wants her save her marriage, however–she hasn’t publicly admitted to this affair–and the two have long been engaged in couples therapy.

    “It’s going to take a lot for Portia to trust Ellen again,” the source said. “They kept up with the therapy after Portia got out of rehab, but they still have a long way to go.”

    Meanwhile it seems Ellen DeGeneres has just cashed in on the A. Quincy Jones-designed Brody House on Los Angeles’ Westside. Napster co-founder Sean Parker bought the home for $55 million, meaning Ellen made a tidy $15 million on the flip. She bought the home last winter for $40 million. She and Portia de Rossi are known for flipping homes. This particular house was reportedly named as among the reasons behind a recent blow up and Portia’s return to drinking. It seems she shouldered most of the renovations to the home–ones that she and Ellen were supposed to do together.

    Ellen DeGeneres, of course, is steering clear of any of these personal issues when addressing the media. Her on-air persona hasn’t changed, nor has her apparent compassion for what’s going on in the world around her. On Friday, what would have been Nelson Mandela’s birthday–Nelson Mandela Day–she shared her thoughts about the late, great leader.

    Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are likely making headlines in part because of Ellen’s constant media presence. The talk show host and comedienne is known for being kind, generous, loving, and funny. Is this how she behaves behind closed doors or is there a side of Ellen that very few people have seen? This is no doubt a very intriguing aspect of the Ellen and Portia debacle–at least for those on the outside looking in.

    It would be sad to imagine Ellen DeGeneres isn’t who she is on TV. Hopefully time will prove these rumors to be just that–unfounded rumors–and Ellen and Portia de Rossi will wind up living their happily ever after–both in the Hollywood celebrity realm and behind closed doors.

  • Farrah Abraham Busted For Lie On “Couples Therapy”

    Farrah Abraham, former “Teen Mom” and sex-tape star, has made her way onto the VH1 show “Couples Therapy”, even though she’s solo. She’s been accused of lying to get on the show by saying that her “boyfriend”, Brian Dawe, dumped her right before they were supposed to appear on the show together. Dawe, however, says they were never in a relationship.

    “I was approached by Farrah Abraham to be in a “pretend relationship” with her so that she could be on a television show. Farrah got my number from my agent, who was also booking events and appearances for her. I went along with it originally because the network offered to pay me a substantial amount of money. Farrah told me to lie to the network and tell them the relationship was real. I hesitated, but reluctantly went along with it initially,” he said.

    Dawe claims he backed out of the deal before shooting was to begin, but word quickly spread around Hollywood–and a group of people close to Abraham, including her rival from “Teen Mom”, Jenelle Evans, who called her out for lying. Now, she’s apparently been busted for another lie while on the show, this time about her sex tape.

    Abraham appeared in “Farrah Superstar Backdoor Teen Mom” with James Deen, a well-known porn actor who also appeared in “The Canyons” with Lindsay Lohan. While Abraham claims that Deen was her boyfriend at the time, the “sex tape” looks more like a porno than anything else, and the fact that she’s insisting that it was a private tape that got leaked is irking people.

    When asked on “Couples Therapy” why she would hire a camera crew to film a “sex tape”, Abraham said, “No there was not—there was only me and the camera person….I don’t know if I ever said ‘camera person,’ but there was never a camera person.”

    Abraham has said that the sex tape has changed her life and she regrets doing it, and has spoken about it before in the media, leading her friends–and former friends–to believe she just wants some extra time in the spotlight.

    “It made it hard to have friends and a private life and to trust family, who I feel use me for money,” Farrah said in an interview with In Touch. “If I went back in time, I would not have done it. The sex tape ruined my life…Knowing my sex tape was out there for everyone in the world to see … was overwhelming. I wanted to hide my face and not go out or pick up my phone.”
