Would You Inject Botox in Your Scalp to Get Hair Like Kim Kardashian?

Post by Lisa Fogarty.

Some days, you wash and style your hair and just know that the stars are aligning in your favor. Both the weather and your hair have decided to kiss and make up and grant to you the kind of magical, glossy Kim Kardashian hair day that promises more of the same tomorrow -- without the need to shampoo again. Ah, just lovely. 

But then 5 p.m. rolls around and you realize you haven't been to the gym in five days and it's time. But, oh lord, that also means sacrificing your perfect hair because your scalp is surely going to sweat and every hair on your head will rise like one big frizz souffle. Never you mind, because there's a solution to that: as long as you're willing to shell out big bucks and inject Botox into your scalp.

Some women are apparently using Botox on their scalps in order to keep their hair from getting sweaty and to ensure their blowouts always look spectacular. Now, using Botox to curb perspiration is nothing new -- the cosmetic procedure is known to help people who suffer from hyperhidrosis, otherwise known as excessive sweating.

But it takes a whole lot of Botox to cover the entire scalp, and doctors say it's much more painful to inject your head because the scalp is thicker.

The cost could also make you sweat: $2,000 for enough units to keep your hair from frizzing for six to seven months. You could get 50 blowouts for that price AND not worry about injecting a chemical inches away from your brain.

Yes, I know the lines on our faces are inches away from our brains, too. I'm sure getting Botox on the scalp isn't more or less risky. But it seems, at least to me, like the reward isn't that great. I'll just wash my hair every other day, thanks very much.

Would you use Botox on your scalp?

The 1 Marriage 'Killer' You Really Shouldn't Worry About

Post by Lisa Fogarty.

As if married couples don't have enough to worry about, a recent study argues that online porn is so prevalent, titillating, and downright superior to any committed relationship that men are simply optingnot to get married or are less able to make their marriages stand the test of time because of it. If this sounds like absolute nonsense to you, you aren't alone. The details of the study are just too murky to prove a whole lot. Plus, it's PORN. Does anyone honestly believe it will replace human interaction anytime soon?

A few facts about the study, which was conducted by West Chester University of Pennsylvania's Michael Malcolm and George Naufal of Timberlake Associates: They used data from the General Social Survey that showed men between the ages of 18 and 35 were less likely to be married if they openly admitted to visiting online porn sites. Okay. Here's how this can easily be explained: Lots of men between these ages are single. Single men get horny and don't always have a steady partner. Online porn provides a thrill.

Oh, and maybe some of the married men they surveyed were embarrassed to admit they visited porn sites, because they didn't want their wives to find out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is probably quite common.

There are quite a few other odd, we're-trying-really-hard details about this study that should be mentioned. The authors admit that, although more men who live in urban areas and come from educated backgrounds  -- and use the Internet more often -- tend to marry less, they can't actually say with assurance if the reason is online porn or because they have more opportunities to date than someone from a small town or have busy careers that keep them from settling down young.

Oh, also: Men who frequented sports, finance, news, and education sites -- so, basically, everyone alive -- were less likely to marry.

Anyone else smell a made-up problem here?

As the girlfriend or wife of a man who visits online porn sites, you might not like it. You might believe he'd be better off spending his time doing anything else, like practicing what he's learning online with you (and let's hope he is). But, at the end of the day, looking at porn is no more destructive to a marriage than food blogs are to the entire grocery store industry. For most healthy people, porn doesn't replace actual sex or partnership. People who believe such a thing have an incredibly myopic and sad view of human relationships.

More from The Stir: Your Husband's Naughty Online Habits Are Not Cheating -- Get Over It!

When used wisely, porn can help enhance and spice up marriage and committed relationships. And it can keep single people from losing their minds in between relationships. If people in relationships have a problem staying in them, the act of watching strangers have sex on a computer seems an absurd culprit to blame.

Do you think porn can kill a relationship or marriage?

Passenger Kicked Off Plane After He Flips Out When Told 'Merry Christmas'

Post by Lisa Fogarty.

No matter how much you may hate the holidays, chances are you wouldn't be foolish enough to jeopardize your chances of getting home or to your final vacation destination because of it. But one man in New York did exactly that when he reportedly got so angry that American Airlines workers were wishing passengers a "Merry Christmas" that he totally flipped out and wound up getting thrown off of a flight to Dallas.

The incident took place at La Guardia Airport on Tuesday when the man blew his top after hearing a gate agent wish everyone "Merry Christmas" while boarding a flight to Dallas.

The Scrooge, who was traveling by himself, reportedly snapped at her that she shouldn't be saying that because not everyone celebrates Christmas.

Her response was, "Well, what should I say then?"

Apparently, this passenger had no intention of making a logical suggestion and simply felt like being pissed off. So, he reportedly walked past her and shouted over his shoulder not to say 'Merry Christmas.'

Things didn't get much better after the passenger boarded the flight. Despite having to work the day before Christmas Eve, these American Airlines workers were filled with holiday spirit and cheer -- the nerve -- and continued to wish the angry man a "Merry Christmas" as he tried to take his seat.

More from The Stir: Americans Who Prefer 'Merry Christmas' to 'Happy Holidays' Are Wrong

Cue all hell breaking loose. The man reportedly flipped out and yelled at the flight attendants and pilot about how inappropriate it was for them to go around wishing everybody a "Merry Christmas." The staff tried to calm him down, they say, but he was way too worked up and had to be pulled off of the flight.

As you can imagine, his fellow passengers weren't disappointed by this turn of events -- they reportedly began cheering while he was escorted off the plane. If something as harmless as a holiday greeting could make him this angry, I can't even picture how he would react if you were sitting next to him and accidentally had your elbow on his seat rest.

Do you think this passenger deserved to be escorted off of the flight for his behavior?

Jill Duggar's Family Christmas Photos Are the Sweetest We've Seen (PHOTOS)

Post by Lisa Fogarty.

There are few things as exciting as being pregnant over the Christmas holiday and Jill Duggar proves this by showing how she and the many, many members of her immediate and extended family celebrated the holiday. Jill, whose growing baby bump is just gorgeous at this point, spent Christmas Eve with her husband Derick Dillard and his family, including his mom, Cathy, who is looking fantastic these days. And then Christmas Day was all about hanging out with the Duggar clan. Jill shared her adorable holiday photo album on Instagram.

First, and foremost, here's a great picture of the sweet couple on Christmas Day, complete with a green and red bow belt to accent Jill's baby bump. Jill captioned this photo: "Merry Christmas from the Dillard's! As we rejoice in the celebrations around the birth of Jesus Christ, we thank God for our precious little gift! "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace." #Isaiah9:6"

It looks like Jill chose to stay comfy on Christmas Eve with her in-laws and paired a long skirt with what look like Converse sneakers. She posted this photo with the caption, "Great time with the Dillard relatives on Christmas Eve! #dillardfam #ChristmasEve #familytime"

And now for the photo you've probably been waiting for -- we're in luck because we didn't just get one of the Duggar family this year -- we got an entire collage. The only disappointing thing about these photos is that not one shows their Christmas table -- which I'm dying to see (what did they eat?! How did they fit everyone?!)

Jill included a sweet shout-out to her brother with the caption, "Merry Christmas from our family to yours! Check out my brothers latest video "Duggar Christmas Tour" on their YouTube channel "Duggar Studios" to get a behind the scenes look at what's going on! 
@duggarfam @joshduggar @annaduggar@jessaseewald @ben_seewald @derickdillard"

It look like everyone had a fab time, not that we expect anything less from this crew.

Justin Bieber Gives Craziest Gift Ever -- To Himself (PHOTO)

Post by Lisa Fogarty.

It would be difficult enough deciding what to get Justin Bieber if you were unlucky enough to have to buy him something for Christmas. Imagine the great stress the pop star must feel when it comes to what he should buy for himself on the holidays! Oh, wait, you don't buy yourself anything for Christmas? Well, tell that to Justin, who took to Instagram to show off the most obnoxious, insanely expensive gift any human could purchase.

After a long week spent playing beer pong with friends, firing Nerf guns at Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin, and showing off the most bling-tastic diamond bracelets we've ever seen, Justin decided to top off his holiday by making a multi-million dollar purchase for himself: a private jet.

As far as we know, Justin isn't training to become a pilot -- but, hey, I could be wrong about that. We do know that he's everywhere all of the time, so maybe this incredibly extravagant purchase made perfect sense to him. I'm guessing when you run with his crowd, buying a jet is like buying a car. A Ferrari, maybe. Definitely not a sensible four-door sedan.

So, of course, as a man of the people, Justin showed off his purchase with fans on his social media accounts. He posted this photo with the caption, "New jet for Christmas, and she's beautiful:"

His crazy jet obviously has enough room to accommodate every single person he knows:

Given Justin's track record of getting in trouble up in the sky and annoying pilots and flight attendants everywhere, perhaps he decided the easiest thing to do would be to take matters into his own hands and buy a jet so that he could get away with doing whatever he wants on it.

Let's hope Justin's financial planner approved this purchase and that he has plenty of money left over in his savings account after this.

Kris Jenner's Christmas Eve Party Draws Some Surprising Guests (PHOTOS)

Kris Jenner doesn't need an excuse to host a huge party for 300 of her closest friends, so imagine the kind of bash she throws on Christmas Eve. Judging by the photos she, Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, and Khloe Kardashian posted, it was nothing short of extravagant. And, although rumors about Kim Kardashian and Kanye West and their holiday battle have been floating around for the last few weeks, it seems the couple made the wise choice to spend the holidays with her family. Guess who else was there?

Kendall and Kylie were the obvious stars of the show this year and both were decked out in extremely sexy white dresses:


Kendall shared the moment they got really close to Santa ...

They watched their sister Khloe parade around wearing the lowest cut dress Santa has ever seen ...

... and Santa got to see it up close, as well:

 They teamed up with mom ...

And Kim showed the world that, even when she chooses to stay suspiciously far away from Instagram, someone else -- in this case her buddy Britney Gastineau -- is going to post a photo of her to prove she was at the party:

Older sis Kourtney was noticably absent from the affair, but considering how she just gave birth to her son, Reign Aston, what did we expect?

Now for the mystery guest. Despite the fact that this is Kris's first Christmas as a single woman, Bruce Jenner popped in to show that he loves his daughters far too much to stay away during the holidays -- AND that he and Kris must have had one hell of an amicable split. Kylie posted this photo on her Instagram:

Who else is betting no one in the Kardashian/Jenner family woke up before 11 on Christmas morning?

Missing 4-Year-Old Autistic Boy Found Dead In Pond 2 Days After He Disappeared

Such a tragic and sad story. A 4-year-old autistic boy from New York who went missing from his grandmother's house on Christmas Eve in South Carolina was reportedly found dead, according to police. Jayden Morrison, who was from White Plains, was discovered by police at 11 a.m. on Friday in a retention pond located behind two homes in Little River, which is located close to his grandmother's house.

A medic volunteer reportedly found Jayden wearing just his pajamas and it is believed he drowned in the pond. The horrific nightmare began on Christmas Eve, when the preschooler's mother, Tabatha Morrison, left him by his grandmother's house so she could go to a Wal-Mart to do some last-minute shopping.

The child's grandmother reportedly turned her back on him for one minute and he vanished. The family says his behavior was out of the ordinary and that he's never been out of their sight, nor has he ever tried to walk out the door.

Aside from the fact that Jayden didn't communicate, the family feared the worst because he wasn't at all familiar with his grandmother's neighborhood. And, not that there's any need at all to add more sadness to this story, but here it is: the little boy has a twin, Jordan, who stayed up until 4 a.m. on Christmas morning waiting for his brother to return home.

Everyone searched high and low on Christmas Day, with divers jumping into ponds and even drones, helicopters, and four-wheelers used in the investigation. More than 150 volunteers reportedly took place in the search on Friday.

'Saved By the Bell' Star Dustin Diamond Arrested for Stabbing a Man

Raise your hand if you aren't at all surprised by this news. Dustin Diamond, who played everybody's favorite lovable nerd Screech on Saved By the Bell, is in deep with the law after he was arrested in Wisconsin on Christmas Day for exhibiting some very un-Screech-like behavior: police say he stabbed a man.

Diamond, 37, was reportedly charged with one felony countof recklessly endangering safety and two misdemeanors for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a switchblade. He was taken into custody and has reportedly been given a $10,000 bail.

So here's what we know: police reportedly responded to an incident of a stabbing at a bar called the Grand Ave. Saloon in Ozaukee County at around 11:15 p.m. on Christmas. Well, it turns out the actor and his 27-year-old girlfriend were hanging out at the bar and allegedly got into a fight with a man. Things reportedly escalated and police believe Diamond stabbed the man and then fled the scene with his girlfriend in a white SUV.

Okay, I take back what I said before about not being surprised. Just because this man has made a porno and released a tell-all book about his former Saved By the Bell cast members that pissed off every single one of them doesn't mean it seems plausible he would allegedly stab a man on Christmas Day. Make that on any day.

But that's the story so far, guys.

Police reportedly recovered the knife in Diamond's vehicle. His girlfriend has reportedly been booked for disorderly conduct and has been released. And the good news is, thank god, the victim has been treated at the hospital and is at home. It's insane to think, had the knife been thrust a little deeper or slightly to the left or right, Diamond would be facing manslaughter charges.

Diamond claims he acted in self defense and says he and the woman were attacked in the bar. And, since there are videos of everything these days, you bet there's a video of this incident.

Happy holidays?

Are you surprised that Dustin Diamond was arrested?

Jessica Biel is definitely pregnant -- we think -- I mean, at least we have photographic proof to back this up now. Though she and her husband, Justin Timberlake, seem as happy as clams -- peaceful and content -- we can imagine that, given his crazy tour schedule, Justin was probably the one who never left his bed over the Christmas holiday. But, oh, we are so wrong. The 33-year-old singer treated his wife like a queen on Christmas Day and posted a sexy, adorable photo on his Instagram that makes us swoon.

Let's see: what could make Justin an even better man in our eyes? He's hilarious, talented, seems over the moon about Jessica, and is totally going to be a great dad. Ah, I know: the man can COOK.

Justin posted this photo of himself on Instagram in the couple's kitchen sporting a beard, beanie, and apron -- with his wedding band gleaming on his finger -- along with the caption, "Just so y'all know who was doing the baking today...Yeah buddy! Your boy got it in! Merry Christmas and stuff..."

When you're pregnant, there's nothing better in the world than knowing you have a partner who is there to take care of you and lighten the burden. I know lots of men cook -- whether their wives are expecting or not -- and I will take this opportunity to sing the praises of each and every one of them. There are few things as hot as a man who can whip up dinner for his lady.

Leave it to Justin to kick things up one notch and get his hands dirty with flour and sugar.

It's only a matter of time before Justin breaks down in tears and shares his feelings on becoming a daddy -- and we will be there to swoon again when he does.

12-Year-Old Boy Killed While Riding a Motorized Scooter He Got for Christmas

No family should ever have to mourn the loss of their young child in an avoidable accident -- the details of this story and how it took place just one day after Christmas make it even more heartbreaking. A 12-year-old boy from California was reportedly struck and killed by a vehicle right in front of his house as he was riding a motorized scooter he received as a Christmas gift.

Roman Martinez was doing what any child would after he received an exciting Christmas gift -- he was eagerly riding his new electric Razor scooter in his front yard. He reportedly left his driveway and rode the scooter into the street at one point, which was when a 30-year-old female driver in a Honda struck him.

Witnesses say they heard the screeching of tires from hitting the brakes and that the driver was hysterical when she learned she hit the boy. She remained at the scene and police say they don't think alcohol is a factor here.

Roman, who was wearing a helmet, was transported via helicopter to Loma Linda Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

Roman's father told reporters he thinking "the speeding" on his street, where the limit is 35mph, is a factor, but there is no proof yet that the driver was going too fast.

According to the California Highway Patrol's statement, "The juvenile rode out of the driveway directly into the path of the oncoming Honda." The statement reportedly goes on to say that the driver "applied her brakes but was unable to stop prior to colliding with the juvenile."

The driver has not been arrested.

Our hearts go out to both the family of this little boy and the driver, who now has to live the rest of her life with a heavy heart.

Taylor Swift's Friend Wants to Hook Her Up With Orlando Bloom (PHOTOS)

We know Taylor Swift has a type: British, musician, hot. Well, two out of three ain't bad, I guess. The singer's buddy Ed Sheeran has decided he knows exactly who she should date: Orlando Bloom. His reason is simple: they both own apartments in a swanky complex in New York City. He's lovely, she's lovely -- once they finally meet, magic will happen, he predicts. But, judging by Taylor's recent photos, she has other things on her mind.

The star, whose album 1989 has been at the top of the Billboard charts for six weeks, donned an all-black rocker chick outfit on the day after Christmas and was spotted on her private jet -- not with a new boyfriend or with any of her many supermodel friends -- but with her family and beloved cats.

Yep, cats. Taylor's mom gave her these adorable personalized cat carrying cases for Christmas:

And Taylor doesn't keep her kitties in them while on her plane. She captioned this cute photo, "She was completely exhausted from all the other naps she had taken that day:"

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Taylor doesn't need to be fixed up. She may or may not be dating Matt Healy from the band The 1975 at this very moment. She may or may not be dating one of thousands of other guys, and if she's not, she's certainly out every other night having the time of her life. Or flying around in her private jet with her family and cats. Either way, not a bad life.

As for whether Ed is on the money about a love connection between Taylor and Orlando -- who once hooked up with Selena Gomez, we hear -- I'm not seeing it. He's too ... mature. Is "mature" the word I'm looking for? Sure, she has dated actors before so this wouldn't be quite an issue, but I don't sense chemistry here.

Do you think Taylor and Orlando would make a good couple?

To most of us, Santa Claus is a harmless jolly old man whom we wish could still bring us a few grown-up toys. But we forget how frightening it must be for a child to meet this strangely dressed man, with his crazy, bushy beard, for the first time. We thrust our little ones onto velvet laps and hope for the best. In Kim Kardashian's case, all didn't go as planned when she and Kanye West introduced little North West to Santa at Kris Jenner's annual Christmas Eve party.

The story behind this photo is actually pretty cute. Kris has been hiring the same man to play Santa at her party since her kids were kids, and when you catch a glimpse of him you'll see why: he looks just like Santa Claus. It's pretty remarkable.

Know who wouldn't agree with that statement? You guessed it.

Kim posted this photo on her Instagram with the caption, "North is still warming up to Santa. The same Santa has come to my moms Christmas Eve party since I was a kid. I love sharing the tradition with my baby girl! hope everyone had the best Christmas"

If you've been around young children, you probably know that lip quiver pretty well. North West is probably receiving the doll of every girl's dreams from Santa, but looks like she'd rather be anywhere else on earth. Like Paris, maybe?

3 Grandsons Killed in House Fire While Visiting Their Grandmother for Christmas

Three young boys were killed in a tragic fire that took place at their grandmother's house in Fayette County, Ohio, the morning after Christmas Day. Kenyon, 14, Broderick, 11, and Braylon, 9, sounded like dream children who chose to spend the night with the grandmother, Terry Harris, 60, because they didn't want her to be alone on the holiday. What happened to their family next is the stuff of nightmares.

The children reportedly lived two houses away from their grandmother and wanted to keep her company. At around 4 a.m. on Dec. 26, the woman's single-story home became consumed by flames. Detectives are still trying to figure out the cause of the fire.

Harris's body was reportedly found near her front door and the three boys were in close proximity to her. Police believe the grandmother was trying to get her grandsons to safety but that they didn't have enough time to get out of the house before they were badly burned in the blaze.

Of course there are no words to describe the pain that must be felt by all members of this family and tight-knit community. Fayette County Sheriff Vernon Stanforth released the following statement, which just makes your heart ache: "They didn't want their grandma to be by herself on Christmas night; that's why they spent the night there. The children just adored their grandmother."

AirAsia Indonesia Flight Goes Missing With 162 People On Board

It's almost impossible to believe this has happened again, but less than 10 months after Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing on its way to Beijing, another large airplane has reportedly disappeared.AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501, which was flying to Singapore and carrying 162 passengers and crew members, lost contact with air-traffic control early Sunday morning and can not be found.

The plane, which is an Airbus A320-200, reportedly lost control with Jakarta air traffic control about an hour before it was scheduled to land in Singapore. Before they lost sight of it on the radar, the aviation authority says the plane was believed to be flying over the Java Sea and that the pilot had requested a "deviation" from the flight path so that it could avoid bad weather.

The pilots of the plane had reportedly asked to ascend 38,000 feet because of clouds, but six minutes later, the aircraft vanished from the radar. There was reportedly no distress signal from the cockpit.

AirAsia confirmed in a statement that, of the 155 passengers, 138 were adults, 16 were children, and one is an infant. Two pilots and five cabin crew were also on board. Most of the passengers were Indonesian, but several were reportedly from England, France, Malaysia, Singapore, and South Korea.

Family members gathered after the plane was scheduled to land, but have not been given a whole heck of a lot of information, which we can all imagine would be frustrating and heartbreaking, but is understandable given the circumstances. With the memory of MH370 still fresh in everybody's minds -- the plane went missing last March -- there's no way some of these passengers' loved ones aren't fearing the worst.

Until more information is released, all we can do is hope and pray for best.

Miley Cyrus Posts Topless Photo So Risky It Has Already Been Taken Down (PHOTOS)

I wonder sometimes if Miley Cyrus ever thinks past this very moment in time. The singer and actress said to hell with trying to impress her boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger's parents because her quest to "Free the Nipple" is obviously infinitely more important. The 22-year-old posted a black-and-white photo of herself on Instagram laying in bed totally topless -- nipples and all -- for the sake of free speech. Or something like that. Anyway, it has already been taken down because, you know, nipples and all that, but not before everyone on earth was able to capture a screenshot.

Miley predicted this portrait wouldn't make it past three hours online and she captioned it, "Some lame ass deff gonna [flag] that but f–kkkkkkk it. #practicewhatchupreach #FreeTheNipple #FreedatS**t."

And here it is -- the censored version:

For anyone who is unfamiliar with it, Free the Nipple is an equality grassroots campaign that aims to get people thinking about women's breasts and nipples the way they do men's. Lots of folks -- including several celebs -- have argued that photos of topless women are treated like contraband and that it shouldn't be illegal for a woman to walk around topless or post photos of herself without a bra.

More from The Stir: Miley Cyrus Says Merry Christmas by Flashing Her Boobs to 'Free the Nipple' (PHOTOS)

Perhaps because her photo was removed from the site, Miley decided to up the ante and put her photoshop to use -- but the results were somewhat disturbing. Here's her follow-up photo, featuring five young Miley heads on top of topless bodies:

And then there was this one:

Um, yeah. Weird. Creepy. Please. Remove. Your point is now lost on me, Miley.

I'll give her this much: Miley puts her money where her mouth is. As a vocal advocate of the movement, she can always be counted on to "free" her nipples for the benefit of every single one of her social media followers. Whether her efforts are changing the world or not remains to be seen -- but you have to admit the girl is committed.

What are your thoughts on Miley's topless photos?

Mama June Pays Daughter Chickadee Big Bucks to End Their Feud

Here's one way to solve a family problem -- throw lots of hard, cold cash at it and hope for the best. At least that's what Mama June decided to do in an effort to patch things up with her 20-year-old daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell following a mother-and-daughter battle so brutal it hurts just to read about it. The young Here Comes Honey Boo Boo star accused her mom of being "selfish," said she was taking up with Mark McDaniel, a man accused of child molestation, whom she says molested her as a child, as well, AND -- the final nail on the coffin -- reportedly stole money from a trust fund set up in her name. That's a whole lot to tackle at once, but June did what she could to start the healing process -- by cutting her daughter a big, fat check.

Chickadee agreed to meet up with her mom after June handed her a check for $15,400, which is money she reportedly earned from appearing on their reality TV show. Prior to this, Anna told reporters she believed her mom had swiped her earnings from an account in order to buy a car and pay for McDaniel's expenses.

June has denied seeing McDaniel since September and, as for the money, says the only expenses she has covered with it have been Chickadee's -- who has been living in her own place for two years and has a 2-year-old daughter named Kaitlyn.

Do you think Chickadee should forgive Mama June and move on?

When you're Kim Kardashian and have just starred in a huge ad campaign with your husband for fashion design house Balmain, deciding on a Christmas gift for your sister-who-has-everything becomes a whole lot easier. Khloe Kardashian was spoiled this year by her big sis, who snagged a pricey jacket from Balmain, used her influence to get the designer to throw a personalized message on the back, and gave Khloe her favorite present of the season.

Khloe posted a photo of her gift on Instagram, along with the caption, "This is how I know my sister gets ME!! Thank you soooooo much Keeks!!! You won't be able to get this jacket off of me! Im in LOVE!!! #KhloMoney #BalmainArmy #Obsessed"

I think we can safely say she loves it.

If you can't make it out clearly, yes, that does indeed read, "Khlo Money." A similar Balmain jacket reportedly retails for about $5,000, but it's impossible to know whether Kim paid for this one or its true cost, since it was likely designed specifically for Khloe.

Given Kim and Kanye's close relationship with the Parisian fashion house -- and the fact that they recently shot a steamy ad campaign for the label, it's very possible this jacket is one extremely expensive example of the swag Kim probably receives from designer friends on a daily basis.

Regardless of its cost, Kim was right on the money -- no pun intended -- when it came to picking out something we can totally see Khloe wearing to top off her teeny, low-cut cocktail dresses.

What do you think about Kim's gift to Khloe?

Teen Mom's Catelynn Lowell is just a few short weeks away from becoming a mom again. That's pretty exciting stuff on its own and we're betting made for quite a joyful Christmas holiday. There's only one thing that could make this time in her life even more amazing -- and her fiance Tyler Baltierra made sure that happened. Tyler gave Catelynn a sweet surprise when he gifted her a SECOND engagement ring on Christmas Day and proposed to her yet again. In the case of rings, two times is a charm because this one isn't just beautiful, it's also incredibly thoughtful.

Catelynn excitedly posted a close-up photo of her new ring on Instagram with the caption, "Babe got me a new engagement ring.... I wasn't expecting this at all... it even has a baby diamond on the bottom to represent our new little girl.... thank you so much @tylerbaltierramtv I love you!"

How pretty is this?! It's dainty and has a cool vintage-feel and I just love its shape and the baby diamond accent -- too cute. I also really like that it isn't bombastically huge just for the sake of it. It fits Catelynn's personality.

As for their upcoming wedding, who knows when that will happen. It seems like the couple is focused on having their baby girl first and will worry about throwing a big party later. Whether they make it official or not, Catelynn and Tyler have proven they have what it takes to make it work. They were responsible enough to give up their daughter Carly -- whom they still see from time to time -- for adoption in 2009 when they realized they weren't mature enough to raise her on their own, and are now committed to starting their little family together.

Best of luck to them both -- this beautiful ring is a symbol of a new beginning.

Man Accused of Spiking Pregnant Girlfriend's Drink to Cause Miscarriage

Some people will go to extreme, bizarre, preposterously frightening lengths to control their worlds and the lives of others. A 25-year-old Indiana man was arrested and charged with attempted feticide after police say he researched miscarriages and then did the unthinkable: spiked his pregnant girlfriend's Christmas drink with an herbal supplement known to be fatal to unborn babies.

Jarod Rebuck reportedly handed his girlfriend a drink on Christmas Day that she said had a strange odor. Now, I don't know about you, but if I ever even suspected for a moment someone I was with would put something in my drink, that would be an immediate red flag that maybe we shouldn't be together.

Thankfully, the woman wasn't totally blinded by love because she reportedly acted on her suspicions and checked her phone. Sure enough, Rebuck had been reportedly using her phone (you just have to ask WHY and whether he did this because he didn't have his own phone, had no idea where the nearest public library was located, OR was secretly looking to get caught).

And here's the lovely phrase her boyfriend reportedly Googled using her phone: "ways to cause a miscarriage."

How heartwarming.

Rebuck reportedly admitted to police that he performed this Google search and that he laced her drink with clary sage, which is an herbal supplement known to help with depression and menstrual cramps, but is not recommended for pregnant or nursing women.

The suspect is being held on $20,000 bond as prosecutors decide whether additional charges will be brought up against him. Thankfully, both the woman and her child were unharmed.

What do you think of the allegations against this man?

Christina Aguilera Gets Into Big Fight -- With Mickey Mouse (PHOTO)

It's supposed to be the happiest place on Earth, but Disneyland brought out the absolute worst in singer and mom Christina Aguilera. She reportedly called poor Mickey Mouse an "a**hole," which prompted members of her crew to follow suit and threaten everybody's (well, I guess not everybody's) favorite, lovable character. The crazy started when The Voice star visited the theme park to celebrate her 34th birthday. The big mouse didn't bend to her one birthday wish and paid for it.

Christina and her people wanted to get a photo with Mickey, but he was reportedly going on break and she was told she would have to wait. I'm guessing Xtina isn't used to being told she can't have everything she wants right now, because rumor has it she went ballistic and began insulting the guy.

After her crew joined in the yelling and screaming battle -- in the midst of which Christina reportedly uttered the always cringe-worthy question, "Do you know who I am?" -- security was called and Mickey had to be quarantined and kept away from the public.

Christina's people have yet to comment on the incident. If you look at the singer's Instagram page, you'd never know anything went down. Xtina posted this cute photo with the caption, "Fun birthday celebration at the happiest place on earth #disneyland"

Anyone else suspect she just lost a fan?

What do you think about this rumor? Can you picture Christina doing this at Disneyland?
