Teen Mom‘s Amber Portwood is going back to prison, after an unsuccessful attempt at completing a drug rehab program, TMZ reports.

The 20-year-old, who is featured on MTV’s hit docu-reality series, was sentenced to five years in jail for drug possession back in January, but the judge gave her a second chance by suggesting she enter herself into a drug rehab program. However, it appears as though that has proved to be too difficult for Amber, who has a 3-year-old daughter Leah with her ex-boyfriend Gary, and has asked the judge to send her back to prison.

Why exactly did Amber decide this fate?

WAS USHER UNFAITHFUL?

On day three of Usher‘s bitter child custody battle, the R&B star faced allegations that he slept with a woman who was a bridesmaid of his ex-wife, Tameka Foster.

Foster’s lawyer suggested one of Usher’s nannies quit her job looking after the couple’s two sons — Usher V, 4, and Naviyd Ely, 3 – because she discovered him in bed with Maya Fox Davis.

The “Yeah!” singer never answered the question while he was on the witness stand because his attorney objected, as this TMZ video from inside the court shows.

Goldie Schon, a family law attorney from Sherman Oaks, Calif., weighed in on the controversial moment during the case, arguing to Celebuzz:

Yet another male massage therapist is dropping out of the lawsuit filed against John Travolta.

Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and a slew of Hollywood identities can rest assured — the secrets of their illegal high-stakes poker games won’t be spilled in a Los Angeles court.

Twenty-two people who sued to recoup poker winnings from a crooked hedge fund manager have all settled their cases for a total of more than $1.75 million, Celebuzz has exclusively learned.

“All of the poker defendant cases are settled,” confirmed Howard Ehrenberg, the bankruptcy trustee who sued Maguire and others in a bid to claw back as much as $5.2 million they won from Ponzi schemer Bradley Ruderman, at underground poker games.

“The settlement of every poker related case without having had to incur the cost of taking any of them to trial means that the fund available for the victims has been maximized.”
