If you believe him, Mimi has some demons she's gotta deal with!
Mariah Carey's brother Morgan, who hasn't spoken to the star in two years, is speaking out about his famous sister and her alleged substance abuse, and he fears that his sibling could wind up tragically gone too soon like Whitney Houston.
"Mariah was drinking through her pregnancy - even while she was nursing. I can't say that I have ever been around her when she was sober, and that's very scary," he told The National Enquirer.
Not only that, but Morgan alleges that, in addition to alcoholism, the "Heartbreaker" songstress is taking a cocktail of prescription pills like Zyprexa, Ativan and Depakote. His fears are that the mother-of-two could "die like Whitney Houston" if she doesn't get the help she needs. "She does not have a support system and she is not mentally capable," he added.
"If my sister turns up dead ... I'm not going to look the other way! Anyone who's filling her glass is jeopardising her life!" he warned.
We're not sure that selling out your own family member is the best way to remedy this!

He should put a lid on it!
Connor Cruise took to Twitter yesterday to reveal what he really thought about Caitlyn Jenner receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the upcoming ESPY's, and he ended up just displaying how ignorant he really is before deleting his rant altogether.
"Really?? Winning the AA award for courage?? Ashton is gonna come out and yell PUNK’D. Don’t get me wrong. Do what you feel like doing and don’t let anyone stop you. But everyone is taking this way too seriously…There are so many more important things that should be talked about…And SO MANY MORE IMPORTANT PEOPLE that actually deserve an award," he began.
"Like the fact that we are overfishing and in 30 years there will be no more fish. Seems dumb but 85 percent of the worlds protein is fish. Or what about the fact that our planet is becoming less habitable on a daily basis. Yet the population is increasing at an alarming rate. Or the fact that we all can't even get a long on earth lol. We fight and kill each other. We have war and poverty. This needs to change," he continued.
As soon as he began to receive backlash from fans, he changed his tune.
"Totally twisting what I said, if you read what I said I totally support being happy and am glad she is happy. We just need to as a nation and a world get back to business and making everything a better place. [It's] way more about the problems the world needs to solve than about her guys," he clarified.
Go back to the Scientology Celebrity Center and voice your profound thoughts there instead, Mr. Cruise!

Unfortunately, we've just learned that reality stars Jill Duggar and Jessa Duggar were two of five victims that their brother, Josh Duggar, molested a decade ago, a Fox News rep confirmed. The shocking news hits just hours before Megyn Kelly's interview with Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar airs on Fox News.
The Kelly File host talked to the 19 Kids and Counting stars Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, and two of their daughters Jessa and Jill, reports Us Weekly. Fox News issued a press release that said, "Megyn Kelly spoke exclusively with parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, as well as two of the victims, their daughters Jessa and Jill, regarding their son’s molestation allegations."
We'd heard rumors that Josh had molested his younger sisters, but we are said to see this confirmed.
Last week, In Touch Weekly obtained a copy of a police report that shows Duggar was investigated for multiple sex offenses against five underage girls, some of whom may have been his younger sisters. The reports, which were hidden since 2006, show that Duggar confessed to his father, Jim Bob Duggar, who then waited over than a year to contact police about the incident.
Last Thursday, Josh said in a statement, "Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God's grace, mercy and redemption."
On Friday it was confirmed that TLC removed 19 Kids and Counting from the air.

We were hoping she would say something, but she must be waiting for the right moment!
Kendall Jenner landed at LAX late last night and declined to comment when asked if she's met her dad as her new persona Caitlyn Jenner, but she better get used to the inquiries, because we have a feeling they are only get more frequent once the docuseries I Am Cait premieres.
The whole family is dealing with Caitlyn's transition differently, but the leggy model seems to be handling it better than her sister Kylie. One thing the cat walker can't handle? Our society's obsession with social media. "I think social media has taken over for our generation. ... I hate it sometimes, like, I literally want to throw my phone so I can’t look at it. It’s all a made-up world if you think about it. Social media, everything, this interview, everything. It’s not real. It’s pretty crazy," she explained in an interview with The Sunday Times.
The family shot to fame by documenting their every move on reality TV, so they can't exactly expect tons of privacy!

Batman is in charge of his brood while mom is away!
Ben Affleck is currently watching the kids while Jennifer Garner is away filming, and the actor's mom Christine is helping her son hold down the fort. The duo took son Samuel to lunch in Santa Monica, and it looked like a great time was had by all!
The Gone Girl star and his actress wife have been the subject of divorce rumors lately, but he's still wearing his wedding ring! Reports claim the pair are on the brink of a split, and they plan to announce it this month. "He's told Jen he wants the official statement to come out before their ten year wedding anniversary on June 29," a source dished to Radar. The Bostonian hunk's gambling addiction and alleged cheating is what apparently drove the mother-of-three over the edge.
If Ben is about to be back on the market, then we would put money on J.Lo dumping Casper Smart!

Can we ship Chris Brown off to another planet? Because after reading this latest story about the 26-year-old R&B singer, we don't even know what to do with him...
While Brown has made numerous statements lately about how he's trying to be a better human, it sounds like he's not practicing what he preaches. According to a source for Us Weekly, the bad boy was “smoking a ton of pot†during a recent trip on a private jet.
But what's worse than the singer breaking the law (the FAA doesn’t allow smoking on planes) was the fact that Chris was a megadouche to the flight attendants! Apparently when one of them tried to inform Brown that he probably shouldn't be smoking, he "blew smoke at a flight attendant and said, ‘I paid $60,000 for this jet, so I own it and everyone inside.'"
It gets worse. According to the source (we're dying to know who it was, BTW), Brown lit up AGAIN before the plane landed and harassed another flight attendant. “He told her, ‘What is your old ass doing here anyway? I like to have the help be people I’d actually like to f*ck,’†the source tells the mag.

Well that's an interesting slice of news! Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's mom Tina is engaged to her gardener (and boyfriend) Jon Goldstein, reports Us Weekly.
No wonder Jessica needed a drink last night?! We're kidding … Goldstein isn't just any old gardener -- he is a high-end landscaper who owns Johnny Appleseed Landscaping, a company that has many A-list clients and has landscaped the Bel-Air Hotel, Stella McCartney stores and the Sunset Plaza.
Tina was previously married to Joe Simpson, who is rumored to be gay, for 34 years. Tina and Jon were first photographed together at Jessica's wedding last summer at the San San Ysidro Ranch, where they stayed together in a cottage.
A friend of the landscaper says, “He’s a really nice guy. … He’s always cared about Tina…He’s known them for 15 years and has been a part of their family. He's so happy she said yes! I know he had been planning on asking her for a while."
Jon's list of celebrity clientele includes Anna Faris, Ashlee Simpson (obvi), Jessica Simpson (super obvi), Babyface, Freddie Prinze, Jr., Jenna Fischer, Mark Wahlberg, Sam Raimi, Tom Cruise, Sheryl Crow and more.
If Tina Simpson is going to marry a gardener -- at least he's a gardener to the stars!

Well that's what we call a destination wedding!

Cue older and single Paris Hilton's wailing and gnashing of teeth!
The privileged duo will be saying their vows at the home of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s home on July 10. According to a source, Nicky will marry in the Orangery, which is located within the Kensington Gardens.
