In the ’90s, Jennie Garth made a name for herself as one of the stars of Beverly Hills, 90210.

Now, in her debut memoir, the TV icon is revealing that her adulthood has not always been as picture perfect as her youth.

The book, titled Choosing Me, doesn’t come out until next week, but Garth opened up about her painful past in a new interview.

Garth says she hit rock bottom around the time of her 2013 divorce from Peter Facinelli.

“I spent a good amount of years being hurt, sad, just tormented by it, and it eked out into all aspects of my life,” Garth recalled, adding:

“I noticed my light really dimming. I wasn’t putting off good vibes. I could see it in the mirror. I could look at the negative impact that that kind of grief and anger was having on me.”

At her lowest point, Jennie says, she needed to have her stomach pumped after overdosing on alcohol and prescription pills.

She later checked into Canyon Ranch rehab and addressed the root causes of her substance abuse issues.

“And there was a weird switch where one day I just said, ‘I don’t want to carry this anymore. It’s impacting my relationships and how I feel about myself. I’ve got to let it go. I’ve got to forgive him.’”

Garth admits that her third marriage, to Dave Abrams, has also had its ups and downs.

The couple separated in 2018, but reconciled the following year.

“I really wanted to give Dave a baby because he was young and all of his friends were having kids and I just thought that’s what he needed,” Garth says, adding:

“It all comes down to people-pleasing. Once you really get to the core of what you want for your life? That’s when everything seems to get easier.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Garth opened up about the pressures of instant fame at an early age.

“It was like being in The Beatles,” she said.

“There was no preparation for it. It was scary and unknown for all of us, and it was like sink or swim, just survive and figure it out as you go. It was major on-the-job training.”

Thankfully, all these years later, it seems that Jennie has finally found happiness in her career, in her marriage, and with her three daughters.

Choosing Me will be in bookstores on April 14.

When it comes to American Idol alums and their marriages, it could be worse.

Justin Guarini and his wife of many years have split.

What’s odd is that the divorce isn’t new — it dragged on for over a year, all while flying beneath the radar.

The Season 1 runner-up, who lost to Kelly Clarkson two dozen years ago, has even moved on.

It’s over after about 15 years!

TMZ acquired court records exposing an unexpected divorce that no one saw coming.

Justin Guarini filed for divorce in June of 2024.

He and his erstwhile wife, Reina Guarini, had been together for about 15 years.

They also share two children together.

Somehow, the divorce processed dragged on without becoming public. That’s a tricky juggling act!

For over a year, Justin and Reina went through the legal process of ending their marriage.

Apparently, the Guarini divorce was quietly finalized in December.

Justin, at least, has already moved on.

TMZ reports that he’s “in a relationship with a business coach named Kim Phillips.”

No word on whether Reina has moved on. These things take different amounts of time for different people.

He really is a blast from the past

American Idol premiered in 2002, during our nation’s collective grief and madness in the years following the September 11 attacks.

The reality competition was very much a product of its time.

Even when the series premiered, it was bemoaned as the death of art in the United States.

Some critics even quipped — using deliberate hyperbole — that the “terrorists have won,” particularly when Idol became so enmeshed in performative patriotism and in 9/11 memorials.

Even so, the series did elevate some interesting talents to stardom. And also, Kelly Clarkson.

Justin was, of course, part of the very first season of American Idol.

The collectives of diehard superfans who would mass redial their votes hadn’t quite organized like they have these days.

Some might say that the premiere season was the “purest” expression of the show.

Justin was a runner up, dazzling audiences until the very end.

Unfortunately, he lost to Kelly Clarkson. In another timeline, maybe he would have replaced Ellen DeGeneres’ timeslot.

This must be such a hard time for Kristi Noem. Oh well.

Late last month, evidence surfaced depicting her husband of more than 30 years as a bimbo fetishist who’d paid money to online models and taken photos of himself imitating their colossal breasts.

One of those fetish models has now leaked some of their alleged interactions.

She’s sharing how much Bryon Noem spent to fund her “trophy bimbo” lifestyle and his apparent desire to marry her.

Her name is Nicole Raccagno

47-year-old fetish model Nicole Raccagno says that Bryon forked over thousands to help her pay her rent, buy handbags, and purchase jewelry.

Her secret?

She sent him videos of her 38N breasts, a bust size that many did not know existed.

Additionally, she participated in dirty chats with Bryon.

This transactional relationship seemed to escalate over time — with him telling her how much he allegedly wanted to marry her, his “Bimbo God.”

“Bryon was addicted to my bombshell Barbie curves and enormous breasts,” she explained to The Daily Mail.

“He gave me whatever I wanted – shoes, handbags, even bigger boobs,” she raved.

According to Raccagno: “He wanted me to be his ultimate bimbo bride.”

He apparently followed her OnlyFans page under the pseudonym of “Jason,” sending her messages and money.

Over time, he confessed more of his kinks … and made it clear that, at least in his fantasy, he wanted to put a ring on it.

‘Hi Bimbo God. Your boobs are so good.’

“Would love to marry you,” Bryon allegedly confessed to Raccagno.

Allegedly, he wrote this just five days after his real-life wife, Kristi, was fired from her position in the Trump regime.

“I don’t follow politics,” Raccagno confessed. “I’m selling a fantasy.”

She acknowledged: “It might be crazy that people have wives, but that’s my job.”

Of Bryon, she added: “I think he’s a gentleman. He has some kinks, but guess what, everybody does.” True enough.

“He said he liked a pink thong,” Raccagno shared. “He would say, ‘I have one.’ He would just say he likes pink; that he wants to be a bimbo like me.”

She added: “I don’t judge. You’re paying some of my bills, so yeah, whatever makes you happy.”

(If you have any friends who do sex work even remotely along these lines, you know that it isn’t always a judgment-free zone — but it can be.)

“He would say, ‘Hi Bimbo God. Your boobs are so good. You’re so perfect.’” Raccagno shared. “‘You’re the boss.’”

She added: “He was like, ‘I want to be your slave.’ So I called him Slave Babe. I would strip out of hot bikinis, lingerie, and dresses, and then send him the videos. He loved them. He’d always say they’re hot, they’re sexy.”

‘I know you want a diamond ring’

According to Raccagno, Bryon spent “$1,500 every month” for her videos, which in turn helped her “pay half my rent.”

She praised: “He would never say no to me. He had to pay for my fillers, my Botox. Whenever I was not looking like a hot bimbo, he would give me money.”

Raccagno added: “I was his bimbo girlfriend, and then I was his bimbo fiancee. He said, ‘hey bimbo God, go pick out some rings. I know you want a diamond ring.’”

Obviously, reports say that Kristi Noem feels humiliated. Some suggest that this is a fitting punishment.

But “public embarrassment” doesn’t really compare to the sort of prison sentence that members of the Trump regime deserve, now is it?

Kendra Duggar is preparing to take over the family business.

Yes, just days after her husband, Joseph Duggar, was released from jail on bond, Kendra is reportedly being trained on how to run the family business in the event that he should wind up going to prison.

As you’ve likely heard by now, Joseph was arrested on child molestation charges last month, and he’s due back in court on April 20.

His trial will take place in Panama City Beach, Florida, so Kendra might wind up running the family business sooner rather than later.

According to People, Kendra has begun handling many of the day-to-day business matters as her family navigates the ongoing situation.

Joseph owns and manages several rental properties — other than reality TV, real estate has always been the Duggars’ biggest hustle — and Kendra is preparing to take the reins.

Insiders say Kendra has assumed a larger role in managing their household finances and business dealings.

People who know the family say this shift hasn’t just been practical — it has been necessary.

Currently, Kendra and Joseph are not allowed to see their four children.

But they’re hoping that will change soon. And Kendra will need some way of supporting her large family.

Despite the gravity of the charges her husband is facing, Kendra’s focus — according to those close to the family — remains on maintaining stability for her kids and household during a difficult time.

And Kendra and Joseph’s real estate holdings may soon be a new source of drama.

As we previously reported, Kendra’s parents are living in a house owned by Joseph.

The situation was all well and good until about a year ago, when Kendra began feuding with her parents for unknown reasons.

In phone conversations that took place while Joseph was in prison, Kendra discussed the possibility of kicking her parents out of their home.

Her folks launched a GoFundMe to help them secure new housing, but they later took the fundraiser down.

We don’t know what their current situation is, but no matter what happens, it’s clear that Kendra is ruthless enough to be a landlord.

Obviously, Aubrey Plaza had an awful time last year.

That isn’t the kind of grief that goes away overnight.

However, she has found love again.

And now, she and her partner are reportedly expecting their first child.

Congratulations!

On Tuesday, April 7, People reported that the beloved actress is now pregnant with her first child.

Congratulations are in order to Plaza and to her partner, Chris Abbott.

The baby is reportedly due this autumn, so that’s late September at the absolute earliest, mid-December at the latest.

“It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,” an inside source told the outlet.

The insider then added that “they feel very blessed.”

Back in March, Plaza reportedly worked to hide the first signs of her baby bump during Paris Fashion Week.

She did wear an oversized leather jacket and other loose-fitting attire to various events.

(Just a quick point of order: baby bumps don’t usually show until 16-20 weeks into a pregnancy, and pregnancies usually only last 40 weeks. That would suggest that Plaza’s due date could not be later than this summer.)

We don’t know a proper due date or any other personal info.

In other words, we know just enough to be happy for Plaza. And, why not, also happy for Abbott.

This news comes on the heels of last year’s loss

As a young adult, Plaza was in an 18-month relationship with fellow actor Michael Cera after the two filmed Scott Pilgrim vs The World together.

The two even joked about marrying — with the idea of referring to themselves as divorced at age 20 — but ultimately did not go through with it.

In 2011, she met writer and director Jeff Baena and the two hit it off, beginning a lengthy relationship.

The two married in 2021, ten years after they began dating. In September 2024, the two quietly separated.

Just a few months later, tragedy struck. Baena was found to have died by suicide in his home in the first days of 2025.

Since that time, Plaza began dating Chris Abbott, a fellow actor.

Notably, the two have worked together in the past.

In 2020, they both worked on Black Bear.

And they also collaborated on an off-Broadway Danny and the Deep Blue Sea production.

Is it too silly to refer to a pregnancy as a “collaboration?” Probably. Pregnancies are generally pretty one-sided collaborations.

Hopefully, people will be normal about this news

There was a time — especially about a dozen years ago — when a huge portion of internet men were deeply weird about Plaza.

You know how some people have lost their entire minds about Sydney Sweeney? Like that, but without the really gross political angle.

(Oddly enough, both women have iconic The White Lotus roles. That’s probably just because that show casts extraordinary actors.)

After Baena’s death, some deeply awful people blamed his death on the separation. That’s not true, but it’s also vile to suggest.

Some people will, inevitably, be very weird about Plaza’s pregnancy. Hopefully, we as a society can keep it at a minimum.
