Amber Portwood: Turning Down Plea Bargain to Continue Filming Teen Mom?

Troubled Teen Mom star Amber Portwood is considering NOT taking a plea deal because it would effectively end her reality TV career , according to reports. Amber is supposed to be released from jail into the care of a halfway house this week after pleading guilty to possession of a controlled substance. She may end up changing her plea, however, so she can continue shooting Teen Mom as much as possible, sources tell E! News . Why on Earth … Portwood, who faces up to five years in jail if she violates probation, is not going to change her plea because she wants to sit in a cell instead. It is true, though, that the drug court that’s allowing Portwood to rehabilitate at the halfway house has ordered the facility not to allow cameras. For Amber Portwood , this is a very big deal. Last week, she said she had been under the impression that she would be allowed to live with her grandparents and film Teen Mom while fulfilling the terms of her sentence (counseling, regular check-ins with the court, etc.). Being ordered to a halfway house caught her by surprise. In order to stay out of jail, she was ordered to spend eight months at the halfway house and get a full-time job … one that does not involve TV. The third season of Teen Mom is set to premiere April 3, so that would leave Amber SOL and without the paycheck she’s come to depend on. As such, Amber decided Saturday that she may rather “do her time now and get it out of the way,” and the halfway house is “not the right place for her.” It wouldn’t be the full five years, presumably, if she did agree to serve jail time. We are probably talking about a couple of months, tops. After which, she would be free to film, without stipulations. “The system doesn’t want Amber to succeed,” a friend said. “She needs to stay in the entertainment industry. There are no jobs in Anderson (Ind.). She needs to finish her schooling. She can’t do all of that with a $7-an-hour job.” Baby daddy Gary Shirley currently has custody of her daughter, Leah.

Jimmy Kimmel Asks: Have You Ever Flashed Someone?

Can you tell if a woman has ever flashed someone just by looking at her? Not a question we pondered before today, admittedly, but Jimmy Kimmel got us thinking about it. The late night host interviewed people on the street and asked them that very question, then polled the audience to see if they could guess right. The results were mixed in terms of accuracy, but all pretty funny: Have You Ever Flashed Someone?

Why Nicki Minaj Spent $50K a Month on Labels

Courtesy of VOGUE For Trinidad-born, Queens-raised rapper Nicki Minaj, cultivating her larger-than-life style required some trial and error. “I was dressing in Tommy Hilfiger baggy shirts and Boss jeans,” she tells Vogue of her high school wardrobe. It took meeting someone who “dressed like a tiny lady — pantsuits, heels, lots of makeup” to inspire her to experiment. “I had never seen myself made up before. I didn’t want to wash it off,” she says. “I felt like I had one day to live this fantasy of being a glamour girl.” Years later, she’s trademarked a kind of Gaga -on-Prozac look: wigs, mega lashes (“When I don’t have my lashes, I feel naked,” she says) and a whole lot of color. And while the majority of her wacky looks are custom made by Japanese designers including Shojono Tomo , Minaj is not unfamiliar with brand names. At one time she was spending $50K a month on designer duds, the magazine reports. “And I bought tons of Vuitton bags,” Minaj adds. “When you’re a young girl from Queens, you’re going to stock up on those bags.” Courtesy of VOGUE –Justine Harman NAB STARS’ FAVORITE HANDBAGS — FOR LESS THAN $100

Mitt Romney Pretends to Love Michigan

Cyborg Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is campaigning in Michigan ahead of Tuesday’s primary, and boy, does he just love everything about that state! Mitt’s pandering speech last week was remarkable in how forced it sounded, even by his standards, as the Michigan native tried to convince residents he is one of them. It was a performance reminiscent of Steve Carell in Anchorman , when Will Ferrell’s Ron Burgundy asks, “Are you just naming things you see and saying you love them?” Watch a mashup of that scene and Romney’s press conference below: Mitt Romney Loves Michigan So Hard The trees are the right height. Take note, Michigan Department of Tourism. There’s your new tagline if ever we’ve heard one. “Pure Michigan” was so 2011.
