Ariel Winter has had a more…tumultuous year then most, but she’s still thankful for the support system she finally has in place!

This support system includes her guardian, Shanelle Gray, who is court-appointed to care for the Modern Family star.

“My sister is the most amazing woman I’ve ever met in my life,” Winter, 15, told People at the USA Network 2013 Upfronts in New York. “If I could be half the woman she is … she’s kind of who I want to be like.”

The teen star doesn’t just reserve admiration for her older sister, 34.  She also digs her extended family, specifically Shanelle’s husband.

“[Shanelle] supports me in everything I do, and so does my brother-in-law David,” Winter said. “Both are kind of like my biggest supporters.”

Sounds like Ariel’s life is calming down a little…thank goodness!

Here’s Heidi Klum doing some serious retail therapy with her boyfriend Martin Kristen in Beverly Hills today.

The two went all over the place, and looks like they had a good day! I also love seeing her bodyguard boyfriend carrying all of Heidi’s bags. Yeah, I know, if I were dating Heidi Klum I’d be whipped, too!

Kate Gosselin has it in for ex husband Jon Gosselin, plus his little author friend Robert Hoffman!

Why?!  Well, Kate says they colluded to spread lies about her abusing her children and terrorizing Jon in a book they published for their own profit (duh, that’s usually where the money goes when you write and sell a book).

Kate says to PerezHilton that “the lawsuit is absolutely moving forward.”

Sounds pretty clear that these two exes are going to COURT!

Apparently, this lawsuit will also lead two other announced lawsuits,  started by pro-Kate and anti-bullying activist James McGibney, who is holding at least one website and one Twitter account liable for their attacks on Kate and himself. This stuff is serious…or is it? Who do you think is in the right, whistle-blowing Kate or capitalizing Jon? Both are pretty obnoxious and maybe this whole thing is getting blown out of proportion…or not!?!

Garth Brooks may not be the country-lovin’ everyman you thought he’d be. In fact, the dude’s getting sued for almost 500,000 dollars by his former business partner!

So why’s the king of 90′s country in trouble? Read more, after the jump!

Ariel Winter was back in court today. Want an update?!

Chrystal Workman, the mother of the Modern Family star, complained that her daughter refuses to do therapy with her and wanted the judge to force Ariel into doing therapy together! The judge, however, wasn’t buying it.

The LA-based judge said he couldn’t force Ariel into having a relationship with her mom if she doesn’t want it. Which makes sense, even though Ariel is but a fifteen year old.

As a teen, we do a LOT of things we don’t want to do, so I’m not sure I’m 100% on board with this…when she’s 18, I feel like she can finally NOT have a relationship with her mom. Right?

Ariel is STILL under the guardianship of her sister Shanelle Gray, after Ariel complained she was being physically and emotionally abused by her mom. According to TMZ, The court Chrystal of her parental rights after a lengthy trial, and Ariel hasn’t spoken to dear old mom in 5 months, when the guardianship was initially created.

Oh, brother. Here we go again…

I get that Lindsay Lohan is a big fan of the music festival Coachella, but that doesn’t mean she should be putting ANYTHING before her big lying to the cops case!  Still, the actress (if we can even call her that anymore) is putting some demands out there in terms of her case and her rehab! Says a source close to Lilo:

“Lindsay was adamant that she not be forced to go to rehab until after the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the Palm Springs area on successive weekends in April. Lindsay LOVES going to the musical festival, and she’s determined to go this year. She didn’t want a little thing like rehab to get in her way of attending. Linds refused to sign off on any deal that would have prevented her from going to Coachella, period. Yes, it’s that important to her, for some strange reason.”

(Via PerezHilton)

Geez. Just GO TO REHAB.  Or hey, why don’t they just throw the girl in jail? Clearly, Lindsay doesn’t have her priorities in order or think she even needs any behavioral correcting.  Seriously, I can’t believe she’s not in jail already!

Thoughts?!

Here’s Heidi Klum‘s growing (and changing) family, out for coffee in Brentwood on Sunday.

The supermodel and her boyfriend Martin Kristen, took Heidi and ex-husband Seal‘s kids Henry and Lou go for a St. Patrick’s Day coffee run. Martin looks very supportive of his girlfriend, as shown by his ‘Project Runway’ hoodie while Henry looks festive in his green hoodie and green nail polish.

Martin and Heidi have been going strong for a while now, and everyone looks pretty content. Thoughts on Heidi’s new man?!
