  • Chelsea Houska: “Teen Mom 2” Star Engaged to Cole DeBoer, Does Dad Approve?

    Chelsea Houska of Teen Mom 2 fame announced her engagement to Cole DeBoer on Wednesday. The two seem to have a great relationship per Teen Mom standards. They even adopted a pig together during the show’s last season. Now if that isn’t the perfect requisite for living happily ever after, then there is no such thing.

    Fans of Chelsea Houska know she often relies on her dad, Randy Houska, for advice, so it’s likely they are wondering if Randy approves of her engagement.

    It seems he more than approves. Chelsea Houska’s dad took to Twitter after learning his daughter was engaged, and shared his excitement with his followers.

    Chelsea Houska has long loved the fact that her now-fiance and her dad get along so well.

    “My 2 favorite guys! ☺️☺️☺️☺️” she captioned this shot for a month ago.

    Cole DeBoer shared a photo of Chelsea Houska showing off her dazzling diamond engagement ring following his proposal on Wednesday.

    “Glad to be stuck with this fine piece of acccce!! @chelseahouska,” he eloquently captioned his Instagram post.

    Chelsea was a bit more refined in her post.

    “I honestly cannot believe how lucky I am. Finally found my Prince Charming and I get to be with him for the rest of my life!” she wrote.

    Chelsea Houska has long said how wonderful Cole is with her six-year-old daughter Aubree. During the Teen Mom 2 reunion show last month, she expressed those sentiments to Dr. Drew Pinsky.

    “I’m so happy and grateful for Cole coming into our life and being that person [for Aubree]. But I think it’s sad that her real dad isn’t like that or doesn’t give her those same feelings,” she said.

    Adam Lind, who is Aubree’s dad, attended the reunion show, too.

    “If he’s a good influence in Aubree’s life, why would I want to take that away from her? He’s a good kid, a good guy,” he said.

    While it certainly sounds like Adam Lind is trying to get out of parenting his own daughter, Aubree is indeed blessed to have Cole as a father figure. It seems both Chelsea Houska and Aubree are deserving of Cole’s love.

    Congratulations to both Chelsea Houska and Cole DeBoer on their engagement. Do you think that pig will attend their wedding?

  • Dr. Drew’s Daughter Admits To Battle With Eating Disorder

    Paulina Pinsky, 21, has admitted her battle with bulimia and anorexia. Paulina is the daughter of Celebrity Rehab host, Dr. Drew, who specializes in addictions. The news broke out just in time for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

    The revelation was done in an essay posted on the Columbia Daily Spectator website wherein Paulina wrote about her 7-year struggle with eating disorders. She said that she felt pressured by many people around her – even by her own mother – to be a perfect girl. Indeed, Paulina seemed to be the perfect girl from the outside. She was a competitive ice skater, a cheerleader, and got good grades in school. Inside, however, she was suffering from the pressure of being perfect.

    Paulina also said that she told her mother that she has been throwing up since seventh grade. After a long silence, her mother finally responded with “Well, get your teeth checked.”

    It came to a point when Paulina would throw up eight times in a day just to handle the stress of living at home during spring break. She said that her mother’s perfectionism was one of the causes of her low self-esteem and purging. It was then that she got scared and finally took action to recover.

    Paulina is currently in her junior year at Barnard College. Just this month, she hosted the Body Positivity Week in school, which consisted of different activities, such as photo shoots, yoga sessions, and talks about eating disorders. She is a year and a half into recovery from her eating disorders and has been learning how to have a functional relationship with her mother.

    According to Dr. Drew’s statement, he is proud of his daughter for having the courage to recognize that she needed help with her condition. He also recognized and praised his daughter’s actions to help others and empower women who are suffering from eating disorders.

  • Dr. Drew: Daughter’s Lonely Struggle With Body Image

    You would think a man who made a name for himself offering “medical” opinions nobody asked for and exploiting the public breakdowns of the rich and famous for personal gain would be far more observant as to what goes on closer to home.

    Dr. Drew Pinsky’s daughter Paulina has revealed that she has been struggling for years with a combination of negative body issues and mountains of pressure to be “perfect”. She says though this pressure was placed on her by both of her parents, it had been especially hard dealing with her mother.

    The New York Post reported that Pinsky, a Barnard College junior, wrote on the Columbia Daily Spectator’s website that life in the presence of her parents had become virtually unbearable.

    “Purging eight times in one day to cope with the emotional stress of being home during spring break had finally scared me enough to take action.”

    The 21-year-old said that she had tried to open up to her mother about what was happening to her during a car ride, finally admitting details about her bulimia.

    After an awkward silence, Pinsky claims her mother said to her, “Well…get your teeth checked.”

    Pinsky stated that this isn’t the only inappropriate commentary her mother has shared about women’s body issues.

    When the young woman commented to her parents over dinner about all the mean and disturbing opinions she’d heard about Kim Kardashian gaining weight because she was pregnant, her mother apparently responded with, “Yeah. She got ­really fat.”

    Dr. Drew, who didn’t seem interested in crossing Paulina’s mother, simply added that Kardashian’s weight gain was probably excessive.

    “You know, it’s very unhealthy for the baby to gain that much weight.” he’s alleged to have commented, “Could be eclampsia.”

    Paulina Pinsky feels very strongly about the issues women struggle with when it comes to their bodies. She sees them as often fueled by negative, insensitive commentary similar to what she suffered through at home.

    “I am a year and a half into recovery after a seven-year battle with bulimia and anorexia, and this spectacle makes me furious . . . This public shaming is making the world a harder place to live in.”

    Dr. Drew did release a statement to about Paulina’s recent revelation and road to recovery:

    “We are so proud of Paulina and her outreach to help others and particularly empower women. When she recognized she needed help, she sought treatment and actively engaged in the process. And now she is using her insights to help others.”

    Hopefully this support will be more than cosmetic in nature now that the cat is out of the bag regarding the previous behavior of him and his wife towards their child.

  • Honey Boo Boo: Sleep, Dr. Drew, And Why She Hates Her Fans

    Honey Boo Boo has been on a whirlwind tour of talk shows and interviews since becoming the most interesting thing on television since the Kardashians, and apparently it’s starting to catch up to her. She’s tired, folks, and she’s sick of you all coming up to her in public when she’s eating or walking through a mall or farting in the Wal-Mart checkout line.

    During a recent interview with Dr. Drew, Honey Boo Boo, a.k.a. Alana, feigned sleep to avoid answering his questions, much to her mother’s chagrin.

    “Alana, come on so we can get this done and go,” she said.

    When Alana finally “woke up”, she gave a firm and resounding “NO!” when asked if she was enjoying her newfound fame, saying she doesn’t like it when strangers come up to her.

    It’s hard to blame her, really. After a few years of exposure on TLC’s “Toddlers And Tiaras” as a Southern girl with a whole lot of head-snappin’ attitude, she landed her own gig on the network and has cameras shoved in her face at all hours of the day, making it impossible for her to live a normal life when she goes out in public with her family, who are all just as–if not more so–redneckognizable as she is. And, of course, with fame comes the inevitable haters who make it their business to tear down a seven-year old and her family/way of life because that’s what trolls do. But Honey Boo Boo, as you can see, is done caring.
