Russell’s sister Laurie Kelsoe tells HollyBaby.com exclusively that he would never even consider committing suicide and that she is completely devastated by his death.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Russell Armstrong‘s shocking suicide on August 15 came as an even bigger shock to his family, who insist he would NEVER do something like this to his kids. His sister Laurie Kelsoe tells HollyBaby.com exclusively that Russell, oddly enough, shared his thoughts on suicide and told her “it was not an option.”

“None of us can believe that Russell would kill himself, we even talked about suicide in the past,” Laurie tells HollyBaby.com of her 47-year-old brother. “He said it was not an option, that a parent should never do that to a child.”

Russell’s estranged wife, Real Houswife Taylor Armstrong, 40, filed for divorce on July 15, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have a 5-year-old daughter Kennedy and he has two sons, aged 11 and 13, from a previous marriage.

The fact that Russell would go against his values and do something he didn’t believe in means that his depression worsened over time, Beverly Hills Clinical Therapist And Sports Psychology Counselor Carla Lundblade explains to HollyBaby.com.

“Many times, life becomes lonelier as time goes on and the vices used earlier to cope can end in tragedy,” Lundblade, who is also an expert in suicide, explains. “The pressures of being instantenously thrust into the limelight are really significant and emotional choices can change.”

Lundblade adds that Russell’s instant fame might have led to his tragic decision, saying that some individuals get caught up in the negatives that come along with celebrity and lose their sense of self-worth.

“The thing that I find interesting is that the family had this conversation,” Lundblade explains. “It’s a red flag automatically. Talking about it means you’re thinking about it.”

Suicidal thoughts are temporary stops in a person’s life, Lundblade adds, so when suicide is talked about within a family, individuals should take advantage of it and use it as “an educational and cathartic process.”

Those close to Russell caught him at one of those times and sadly he made a heartbreaking choice. Our hearts go out to his family.

Amber’s friend tells HollyBaby.com that the troubled MTV star will be in a Malibu rehab facility for up to two months.

Teen Mom Amber Portwood, 21, has decided to get help — and we’re here to support her! Amber checked into a rehab facility in Malibu on Sunday, June 28, after she was hospitalized and resting at home following her scary suicide attempt.

A close friend of Amber’s tells HollyBaby.com: ”Amber told me she will be in rehab between 30-60 days. It is her first time in rehab.”

“Amber is dealing with a lot of stressful issues right now,” the source adds. “People judge her all the time because of the things they have seen on the show — she hasn’t been portrayed in the best light at times but she is human and has feelings. She shouldn’t have to deal with hateful fans telling her they wish she would just die.  She loves Leah to death and wants nothing but the best for her, she wants her daughter and she wants to live happily.”

We hope Amber gets the help she needs!

The troubled MTV star had a supervised visit with her 2-year-old daughter, who hasn’t seen her mommy since the June 14 suicide scare.

It was a happy reunion for Teen Mom Amber Portwood, 21, and her 2-year-old tot, Leah. The pair were able to see each other for the first time this morning, June 23, since Amber attempted to commit suicide and was found in a very depressed state in her home in Anderson, Ind. on June 14.

Amber met with Leah outside her home, where an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com via Star magazine, “Maybe there was an official from Child Protective Services inside her house, but I didn’t see anyone else outside with Amber and Leah except someone who looked like an MTV cameraman!”

Amber gets a supervised visit with Leah for two hours, one day a week, ever since primary physical custody was given to baby daddy and on-again-off-again beau, Gary Shirley.

The troubled star told Star exclusively that she would be going to rehab in California after she finishes seeking treatment with a psychiatrist in Anderson.

“I am going to rehab for anger control issues and depression,” Amber admitted. “I’m on medication at the moment to help me just relax. I’m getting the help I need from friends, family and counseling.”

We hope Amber was able to enjoy what little time she gets to spend with Leah.

Detective Mitch Carroll tells HollyBaby.com exclusively that there was reportedly no rope tied around Amber’s neck when police arrived at her home in Anderson, In.

Teen Mom Amber Portwood, 21, has given all of us a scare today, June 14, after allegedly attempting to kill herself and being rushed to the hospital to receive medical attention. Now sources, including Detective Mitch Carroll, Public Information officer, tell HollyBaby.com exclusively that Amber was “coherent and able to speak” when she was discovered this morning following a call made by a family member to authorities.

“A family member called 911 at 11:34am saying that Amber L. Portwood was depressed and threatening to end her life,” Det. Carroll tells HollyBaby.com. “Two Anderson Police officers arrived, along with an ambulance and paramedics. Once they arrived they placed her in the ambulance and took her to a local medical facility.”

“There were no noticeable signs of injury,” he adds. “She was conscious and coherent and able to speak.”

When asked if Amber had a rope knotted around her neck when the police arrived, Det. Carroll said, “I don’t think that’s accurate. At least that’s not the information that I was given.”

An insider at St. John’s Hospital in Anderson, Indiana close to the situation confirms to HollyBaby.com that Amber was admitted to the emergency room earlier today and is still being treated at the hospital.

Earlier this afternoon police released a statement, “Late this morning (11:34 a.m.), Anderson Police responded to a call at a residence in the 1300 block of Pleasant Meadow Drive. According to the caller, 21-year-old Amber L. Portwood was depressed and threatening to end her life.  The victim, who did not appear to be injured, was transported to a local medical facility for further evaluation.”

Meanwhile MTV release this statement Tuesday afternoon, “Our understanding is that Amber has been admitted to a local hospital but we have not been able to confirm the accuracy of any reports being circulated and are waiting for further details. Our thoughts are with her and we hope to hear more soon.”

Tori Blair Wilson was found hanged in woods just yards from her Palestine, Texas home on April 17.

The eight-year-old may have even been hounded by bullies on the day of her death. How utterly heartbreaking. How can we stop this, HollyMoms?

“It appears she was a good student with no problems at school, but we did receive information she may have been bullied at some point,” Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor tells CBS News.

A lengthy police investigation found Tori had talked in the past of bullying and even discussed suicide, once putting a noose around her neck in front of friends!

Her autopsy report reveals, “The decedent had a history of suicidal ideation and had similarly placed her head and neck in a rope in the presence of a friend in the past in a possibly prior hanging attempt.”

Does your 8-year-old understand suicide?! Surely that’s far too young for a child to comprehend such a thing!

Frustratingly police have been unable to pinpoint any of the children who were bullying Tori – and even if they did they would have limited powers to prosecute young kids.

In a chilling side note, Sheriff Taylor described Tori’s death as “disturbing,” but “not totally an isolated incident.” He reveals he has dealt with the suicide death of even YOUNGER children.

What can we do to stop our kids taking their own lives so young, HollyMoms?

This man is a monster! A mother grieves the loss of her 6-year-old daughters, who were abducted and murdered by their own dad. What would make him snap?

There is no happy ending to this story. “The girls are resting in peace and did not suffer” are the blood chilling words that poor Irina Lucidi read on February 3 about the daughters she reported missing on Jan. 30 after her husband failed to bring them home. Can you even imagine her horror, HollyMoms? Matthias Kaspar Schepp reportedly murdered his beautiful 6-year-old twin girls, Alessia and Livia, just before taking his own life.

According to Swiss police spokesperson Jean-Christophe Sauterel: “The father declared he had killed his two daughters and he was in Cerignola where he was going to kill himself” And he did. His body was discovered later that same day. He had thrown himself under at train in Italy.

This has become an international incident with police in Switzerland, France and Italy joining forces to find the girls — or more likely, their bodies. All of the focus is currently on the French island of Corsica, which is where Schepp took them via an overnight ferry from Marseille, France, on Feb. 1.

The girls’ family is obviously devastated and has no hope of ever seeing the blond beauties again. “There was never a thread of hope,” Lucidi’s cousin, Roberto Mestichelli, told the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, Schepp’s family in Switzerland insists that he must have had a breakdown because he’s always been a loving and caring father. “We are united in the certainty that our son and brother could only have committed such a terrible acts if he suffered a serious emotional breakdown,” says his family.

Breakdown or not, what he did is brutally disgusting and there’s no excuse. Our hearts go out to the girls’ mother.

It’s sad to realize that there are people out there that would actually do disgusting things like this: Cathleen Miller, 40, of Chicago Ridge, Il. has been sentenced to 10 years in prison after admitting she had sexual relations with four teenage boys who were friends with her daughter. Can you believe these things actually happen?

Woman arrested for seducing a 13-year-old boy on XBox

On Jan. 21, Cathleen– mother of three daughters, who were 14, 10 and 3 at the time — pleaded guilty to sexual abuse and sexual assault charges and faced three years each for three of the teenage victims and one year for the fourth, reports the Chicago Sun Times. These boys were only between the ages of 14 and 15-years-old at the time! Prosecutors says that Cathleen seduced the teens with alcohol and marijuana before having sexual intercourse with two of them in her home between February and June. She had oral sex with the third boy and “fondled” the fourth. Just wrong and terribly disturbing.

Three children and their mother shot to death in their burned home — tragic.

Cathleen’s horrible crime was discovered after one of the boys wrote a Facebook apology to her oldest daughter, who had walked in on him and her mother having sex. Luckily, his parents saw the message and reported the incident to the police. HollyMoms, what would you do if you found a message like that? While she was being questioned back in July, a suicidal Cathleen checked herself into a hospital and her sister took custody of her three girls.

After 23 years, a kidnapped baby is reunited with her birth mother

Although at first she denied the sexual encounters and claimed that the teens had brought over the alcohol and drugs, Cathleen was fired from her secretarial job and thrown in county jail on July 13. At the time of her arrest, Cathleen filed for separation from her husband and oddly enough, filed for an order of protection against him. Shouldn’t he and their children be protected from her? Her daughters are now living with their father in the family home and a divorce is pending. This disturbed woman should be punished for what she’s done to those young boys, as well as her family.

Owen Wilson and his pregnant girlfriend, Jade Duell, are dissing the idea of a hospital delivery.  The gorgeous gun-toting air marshal is currently awaiting the birth of their baby, a boy who is due any day now, in Owen’s $8 million house in Maui, Hawaii.  “Jade and Owen were both on the same page when they decided to have the baby at home,” the insider tells Star magazine. “They wanted a calm, quiet, soothing atmosphere for their boy. It was very important to Owen that the birth be Zen-like, because now he’s all about tranquility being the key to a healthy life.”

After attempting suicide three years ago, it sounds like Owen has finally found peace with Jade. “Owen has a new lease on life,” a family friend tells the magazine. “He’s come all the way back from the depths of despair to being happier than he ever dreamed possible.” He’ so happy about impending fatherhood that he and Jade have already picked out their son’s name. “They seem to have settled on naming him Ford Linton Wilson,” the friend says. “They both like the name Ford and Jade’s dad’s name is Linton.” Isn’t it nice that they’re keeping a family tradition alive?

The source says it was love at first sight for the 42-year-old actor, who met Jade, 28, while en route from L.A. to Washington, D.C. where he was filming How Do You Know with Reese Witherspoon. “They talked all the way to D.C. — and by the time they landed, Owen said, it was like they’d known each other their whole lives. They exchanged numbers and emails and haven’t gone a day without talking since.” Jade even relocated from Virginia to Hawaii to be close to her new man! Aww!

Report: Owen’s ex Kate Hudson is expecting a baby!

The impending birth has really changed Owen’s priorities — he’s even considering leaving showbiz for good. “He’s cool with being a movie star, but he knows that he’s going to love being a dad,” the insider says. “And if everything else were to disappear, being Dad is good enough for him.”
