Teen Mom's Amber Portwood is back in jail after an Indiana judge ruled that she violated her probation today.
Portwood's brother Shawn tells Us Weekly that "probation officers visited [her] for a random drug test at her house and they found pills in her purse that she did not have a prescription for even although she explained that they had previously been prescribed to her. In addition she missed a court hearing and that is why she was jailed this time around." Yikes!
Last June Portwood pled guilty to two counts of domestic battery after she was caught on camera assaulting her 3-year-old daughter Leah's father, Gary Shirley. Shawn added that his sister "is distraught because she was planning to spend Christmas with her family and Gary was going to let her see Leah also."

Sure, he's made a fortune from his Girls Gone Wild empire and he's actually pretty attractive, but isn't he supposed to be a major d-bag?
His marriage to TV host Christina McLarty lasted about one month (the two split in November of 2010) and after the Jayde Nicole hair-pulling incident in 2009 (not to mention his jail time for tax evasion!) Joe Francis isn't exactly the kind of guy you want to bring home to mom. I guess this young lady doesn't seem to care, as we spotted her waiting with Joe at the Barneys New York valet over the weekend. How on earth does he get such hot (and young!) girls to follow him everywhere he goes?!

Over the weekend we spotted Nick Jonas leaving the Henri Bendel store in West Hollywood, and the youngest JoBro hid his shopping bag behind his back when he returned to his car. We're not totally sure, but we're willing to bet that he was sneaking around with some holiday goodies for his much older girlfriend, Aussie singer Delta Goodrem.
Just last month Nick went down under to pay his lady love a visit, and even though they're 8 years apart (which is a lot when you consider Nick is still technically a teenager!), it looks like they're still going strong. Hmm, wonder what he got her? With his Disney millions, we think he could afford something pretty nice!

Jose Angel Santana, a former New York University professor, claims he lost his job after teaching James Franco in his "Directing the Actor" class. The teacher has filed a lawsuit claiming he was "wrongfully terminated."
Santana tells the NY Post he has suffered "public humiliation" since giving Franco a "D." The professor gave the actor a "D" for skipping out on 12 of the 14 classes.
In the legal papers, it states, "In my opinion, they've turned the NYU graduate film degree into swag for James Franco's purposes, a possession, something you can buy."
Santana also claims this would never have happened if he were a caucasian professor.
NYU has denied any wrongdoing ... calling Santana's claims "ridiculous."
