Reality star Yolanda Foster, who suffers from Lyme disease, just revealed that months ago she gave her experience, strength and hope to Avril Lavigne, who announced yesterday via People magazine that she too suffers from the debilitating illness.

"I took Avril under my wing when she first got sick and shared all I know," said the 51-year-old during an interview with Bravo's Daily Dish.

The Housewife also commended the "Complicated" songstress for speaking publicly about having the chronic disease. "I am so proud of her for going public," Foster said.

For months, Lavigne had hinted she was dealing with a health issue but had never been specific about what was ailing her.
In December, the Canadian performer spoke to fans via Twitter about her absence from the public eye.

"I feel bad because I haven't been able to say anything to the fans to let them [know] why I've been absent," she wrote. "I'm not feeling well. I'm having some health issues. So please keep me in your prayers."

According to the CDC, "Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted to humans through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. Typical symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. If left untreated, infection can spread to joints, the heart, and the nervous system. Lyme disease is diagnosed based on symptoms, physical findings (e.g., rash), and the possibility of exposure to infected ticks." Basically Lyme disease is all sorts of not good. It's hard to diagnose, treat and can take a serious toll on someone's nervous system.

Lavigne has taken a break from recording and touring to focus on her health. The 30-year-old released her last album, the self-titled Avril Lavigne, in November 2013.

We wish the singer all the best in fighting this disease and we are glad she's getting some much needed support from someone who's been through the journey before her!

Leave it up to the radio host to cover all the important topics!

Justin Bieber appeared on the Ryan Seacrest radio show this morning and talked all about his recent Comedy Central roast, his upcoming performance at Wango Tango, and how his relationship with ex Selena Gomez inspired his new album. Juicy!

On his recent roasting:

"What made me to really want to do [was] having people close to me do it. Because [Ludacris] has been close to me for so many years, [and Shaquille O'Neal] and Kevin Hart. A couple of them I didn’t know, but most of them were close to me, so I knew it was all out of fun."

On his public apology after the roast:

"I wanted them to understand that I am a real human being. I think people forget that and I’m growing up, and I’m figuring some stuff out. You have to sometimes go through the downs to appreciate the ups, and I know people probably thought it was a big ol’ publicity stunt, but we can do interviews and talk about me wanting to change or me wanting to do this, but I’m here to show people a new walk. I want people to look at me and be proud of me. That was all I really wanted to get across.”

On growing up in the limelight:

"There was no way of me preparing for this [life]. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Now looking back at some of the interviews, I look at it and I’m disappointed because I didn’t see myself in that way. I didn’t know I was being arrogant. Because when you are being cocky, you are the only one that doesn’t know you look like a jerk. So I wouldn’t really change anything because I grew and now I’m looking at it and I can see it. Sometimes I have to learn the hard way.”

On changing his friend group:

"My circle of closeness definitely has changed for the better. You are who you surround yourself with. When people are bringing in garbage and negativity, you start picking up that energy. Now I’m surrounded by a lot of people who are pouring into my life, refueling my engine. When I get empty they’re there to just be like, ‘No, I’m going to encourage you to be better and to push on.’ I think that’s what you have to be surrounded with, especially in this industry."

On collaborating with Kanye West:

"I’ve been in the studio with him for the past month or so. He just pushes you. He definitely wants it to be my way and my direction and he doesn’t want to steal what I want. That’s why artists like to go to him, because he pulls something out of you that other people don’t."

On his new album:

"I’m not in a rush. I just want to create the best piece of art that I can create, something that’s really near and dear to my heart. I know there’s a lot of stuff that I’ve been going through over the past few years. I just really want to bleed it on this record. I just want people to know that I’m not playing around, I’m not doing a record that’s cookie-cutter, or doing something that I think people want to hear. I want to do something that I know that I can feel and people are going to feel it through my music. I’m pretty silent about what I’ve been going through, and just growing up in this life is hard. So I want to translate that."

On being musically inspired by relationship with Selena Gomez:

"I think a lot of my inspiration comes from [Selena]. It was a long relationship that created heartbreak and created happiness and a lot of different emotions that I wanted to write about. There’s a lot of that on this album.”

And there you have it, folks!

Kris Jenner and her boy toy Corey Gamble proved that they are very much still a thing as the duo shopped for gifts for Jenner's four grandchildren on Wednesday. Is it just us or does shopping cart-pushing Gamble look more like Jenner's employee than her boyfriend?

The 59-year-old and the 34-year-old made a date of it on Wednesday and got a mountain of gifts for her daughters' wee ones at the Toys "R" Us in Calabasas, Calif. That's a LOT of presents!

Despite last month's rumors that the two broke up -- the twosome is clearly still an item. The couple that shops for grandkids' gifts together stays together!

Last week Jenner and Gamble grabbed lunch in Beverly Hills, and shut down the break up rumors. The momager has a lot on her plate as she attempts to deal with son Rob, who has been struggling with depression in recent years. Reports claim that the family matriarch is concerned about her son spilling family secrets, so she has decided to cut his role in Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

Yowzas!

Ireland Baldwin stripped down to pose for some sexy new Instagram snaps, and besides her being butt naked from the waist down, we can't get over how much she resembles her mom Kim Basinger!

We're slightly surprised the blonde beauty is still modeling, because she recently confessed that she's trying to make it on screen. "I have a few things coming up that I can't really discuss at the moment yet, but that's why I'm going to New York. I've been focusing on acting lately, and that's why I've stepped out of the modeling spotlight to be in film school. I just switched actually—I'm looking into New York Film Academy right now," she confessed to E! News.

We wonder what girlfriend Angel Haze has to say about her lady showing off all her goods?

Bruce Jenner is anything but in the clear after the fatal car crash that killed Kim Howe earlier this year. The deceased woman's stepchildren are gearing up to sue the reality star in a wrongful death lawsuit, reports TMZ. Interestingly enough, the outlet is also reporting that Howe's stepchildren had almost no relationship with her.

On Feb. 7, the Olympian slammed into Howe when she was driving her Lexus on PCH, which caused her car to veer into the lane of oncoming traffic where she was hit and killed by a Hummer.

Howe herself had no children and no immediate relatives. However, her husband, who died in 2003, had two children from a previous relationship. Despite claims that the step children and Howe had no relationship, stepchildren do have legal standing to sue for wrongful death even if they are estranged from a stepparent, according to California law.

Howe's stepchildren will not inherit her property. The trust she set up leaves millions to charity and in her will it states that $55k will go to various animal charities, including, PETA, Lange Foundation, PAWS (Performing Animal Welfare Society), Doris Day Animal League and The Elephant Sanctuary of Tennessee.

Zayn Malik may have broken up with One Direction, but his relationship with fiancee Perrie Edwards is certainly going strong!

On Wednesday Zayn shared the above snapshot with his lady love and simply captioned the photo "Oui." Before he split from 1D, Malik was plagued by rumors that he had cheated on Edwards. Zayn addressed the reports on Twitter last month and wrote, "I'm 22 years old... I love a girl named Perrie Edwards. And there's a lot of jealous f*cks in this world I'm sorry for what it looks like."

While Zayn released a statement on his departure from the mega-successful boy band, he didn't go into too many details about his feelings. However, Zayn's former bandmate Liam Payne tweeted his feelings on the matter and wrote, "This last week has been some of the worst times, possibly the worst it's something we are all deeply saddened by. It's sad to think for the time being we won't grace the stage as five bros or have the same fun on a tour bus or laughs in a hotel together that we have over the years but I'm super sure us and Zayn will always remain the closest friends… it's ok to be sad and upset but I do ask everyone who is a fan of us to please keep ur faith in us I'm sure there's a lot more to come." So emo!!!

Jon Hamm went under the radar and completed a 30-day stint in rehab for alcohol abuse last month, and on Wednesday evening we saw the Mad Men star out and about for the first time since he checked out of Silver Hill Hospital in New Canaan, Connecticut.

Hamm kept his head down, and though he tried to cover up his face with the brim of his baseball hay, we couldn't help but notice how gaunt and exhausted he looked. Hopefully he's going to rest up and relax over the next week -- after all, the final season of his hit AMC show premieres on April 6, so he will undoubtedly be attending a number of events to promote it.

Last week Jon's rep confirmed that the actor had checked in (and out) of rehab and said in a statement, "With the support of his longtime partner Jennifer Westfeldt, Jon Hamm recently completed treatment for his struggle with alcohol addiction. They have asked for privacy and sensitivity going forward."

There have been a handful of blind items about the star, and in 2011 The Enquirer ran a story detailing his hard partying ways. "On the set, Jon’s always as sober as a preacher. But when he’s not working, he likes to cut loose with a drink or two… or more! By the end of night, he often seems blotto. His nickname is 'Hammered,'" a source told the tabloid.

We're glad he sought help!

We bet Rob Kardashian is fuming after seeing this new clip from Keeping Up With the Kardashians! In fact, this might be what prompted him to post a photo on Instagram comparing his older sister to "the b*tch from Gone Girl."

In a teaser for this week's episode of the family's reality TV show, Kim Kardashian sits down with sister Khloe and mom Kris Jenner to talk about ways to help Rob, and Kim's suggestion is a bit harsh! "I'm not a therapist. I'm not a doctor," Jenner tells her daughters. "But I do know that we've got all of the resources in the world, and yet he doesn't access."

Kim's reaction? "I think that now what we have to do is everyone back off," she says, while Khloe makes faces indicating that she disagrees. "Everyone licks Rob's a** and does whatever he says," Kim whines. "And it's just at some point, you just have to give it up!"

"We all make his life so easy," she continued. "'Okay, we'll drive you around with a chauffeur so no one has to look at you!' We had a chef on standby, a trainer. 'We'll send people to run out and buy you socks and underwear!' Like, this is pathetic!"

"We're not going to cater to him anymore, but it has to be all of us," Kim says, suggesting that the family cut Rob off. Kris still seems torn about the issue and said, "The other way to look at it is that he has something that maybe he can't help himself."
