Michael Phelps On Battling Depression: 'I Am Extremely Thankful That I Did Not Take My Life'

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 03:47 PM PST

It's refreshing to see that Michael Phelps (pictured here with wife Nicole) continues to be outspoken about his long battle with depression and its side effects.

The Olympic swimmer and multi-multi-multi gold medalist is living at the top of his game as a father and husband right now, and because he's in such a good place in life, he's been more outspoken about when times weren't so good.

Speaking at the fourth annual conference of the Kennedy Forum this weekend, Phelps told the audience about his long, complicated battle with depression and how it was intertwined with his chosen career as a swimmer.

The Olympian revealed (below):

"I was always hungry, hungry, and I wanted more, I wanted to push myself really to see what my max was ... But really, after every Olympics I think I fell into a major state of depression ... I would say 2004 was probably the first depression spell I went through."

And while Phelps dealt with a DUI after his 2004 Olympic run, and pictures showing him smoking from a bong after his 2008 Olympics, it was 2012 that he believes was the hardest time of his life.

He recounted to a hushed audience how he hit an all-time low after 2012, retreating to his bedroom for "three to five days" and barely eating or sleeping (below):

"I didn't want to be in the sport anymore ... I didn't want to be alive anymore."

It was at that point that Phelps realized finally that he needed help.

He sought counseling, stress management programs, and more -- and he finally confronted his depression head-on.

And now, he's glad he did it, and he's glad that he overcame the stigma of talking about mental health.

He said:

"I was very good at compartmentalizing things and stuffing things away that I didn't want to talk about, I didn't want to deal with, I didn't want to bring up -- I just never ever wanted to see those things. ... [Mental health] has a stigma around it and that's something we still deal with every day. I think people actually finally understand it is real. People are talking about it and I think this is the only way that it can change. That's the reason why suicide rates are going up -- people are afraid to talk and open up. Those moments and those feelings and those emotions for me are light years better than winning the Olympic gold medal. I am extremely thankful that I did not take my life."

Amen to ALL of that!

The Guy Who Has The @ChicagoWest Twitter Account Is Down To Hand It Over!

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 02:44 PM PST

In a world where everybody everywhere is trying to make a quick buck -- whether they deserve it or not (cough, cough, Donald Trump) -- Jon Wyatt is a breath of fresh air!

You probably don't know that name, but you know this one: Chicago West.

Jon has the Twitter handle @ChicagoWest right now, on account of him being a former resident of Chicago who decided to move out west to become a grain trader and a farmer... and now with Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West naming their baby Chicago, well, Jon is suddenly an overnight celebrity!

Related: Fans React To Chicago's Name Reveal On Twitter!

You know how this usually works: somebody has a Twitter account that a celeb wants, and the celeb forks over some money to grab the handle.

But for Wyatt, well, he's not down with all that!

According to reports out today on TMZ, Wyatt thinks that selling the account to Kim and Kanye "just kind of seems wrong," and he's down to give it up if they ask.

One thing -- they haven't asked yet.

Weird, considering how thoughtful Kim has been for YEARS about social media and branding.

But, you know, she's likely got more important things to do like, you know, love her new beautiful baby!!!

Either way, sounds like this is a Chicago West story that ends well, with no greed or needless social media account auctions.

It's the little things in life, right?! Ha!!

Jon Wyatt seems like a good dude, too (below):

Love it!!

Justin Timberlake Throws Shade At Britney Spears And Lady GaGa Over Vegas Residency!

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 12:47 PM PST

Justin Timberlake probably didn't mean for it to come off this way, but his recent comments about taking up residency in Las Vegas are... less than ideal as far as Britney Spears, Lady GaGa, and others are concerned!

Timberlake was being interview on Beats 1 radio this week when he made a comment about Vegas residencies -- you know, the thing Britney and GaGa, and many other celebs have -- and fans are taking it as total shade! Oops!!!

Related: Reacting To JT's Supplies HERE!

Asked about potentially working in residency somewhere in Vegas one day while promoting his new Man of the Woods album, Timberlake laughed and said (below):

"It feels like you're planning your retirement."

Yikes!!!

Of course, he later came around and admitted that if he did do Vegas, he'd do it like the greatest ever -- Prince.

Timberlake continued (below):

"[Prince was like' I'll just show up when I show up [in Vegas] and I'll play 10 shows a year. It'll be me because I'm the greatest that ever did it."

That's one way to do it!!

Wait — Donald Trump May Be Having An Extramarital Affair Right Now?!

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 11:44 AM PST

We know all the stories about Donald Trump carrying on apparent extramarital affairs and paying off women in his past... but could he actually be having an affair RIGHT NOW in the White House?!

That's what Fire and Fury author Michael Wolff thinks, according to his appearance last night on Real Time with host Bill Maher.

Whoa!!!

Related: Remember When Trump Wanted To Abort His Daughter Tiffany??

Wolff came on Maher's show for an interview about his book and revealed that although the author "didn't have the blue dress" on an alleged Trump affair (a reference to a key piece of evidence in figuring out Bill Clinton was having an affair with Monica Lewinsky), he nevertheless feels "absolutely sure" that The Donald is cheating on Melania Trump.

The only reason why Wolff hasn't come out sooner is that he lacked "ultimate proof." Hmmm...

Wolff plays it coy when Maher questions him about it, saying that he planted a clue in his controversial book about The Donald's administration, but he wouldn't reveal where or what the clue was about in the book.

Wolff said:

"You'll know it [about the clue]. Now that I've told you, when you hit that paragraph, you'll say, 'Bingo.'"

Good way to sell more books?? Or actual thing to pay attention to here??? Who the hell knows with Trump anymore. LOLz!!!

Here's the full Wolff-Maher interview from last night (below):

Interesting!!!

Amidst all this, Trump has been tweeting weird shit in the last few hours -- like this, about the government shutdown that he alone is responsible for (below):

Or this, about the historic and massive women's marches around the country that are explicitly ANTI-Trump (below):

Yeah, OK Donald.

Six ISN'T enough!

Diddy may be the father of six children already, but the 48-year-old father and music mogul admitted on Friday that he's down for more -- and longtime girlfriend Cassie might be surprised to hear he's thinking about as many as ten total!!!

Related: Diddy Wasn't Serious About Changing His Name!

During a Breakfast Club interview at the end of the week, Diddy said (below):

"I love children. I'm trying to get ten."

Whoa!!! Really??

Well... he was kind of kidding about that ten part... but he's not kidding about having more kids.

The star continued (below):

"I could go to eight without a problem. Whatever is supposed to happen in the future is going to happen, but that's something that I want. I would only have it with my girl of course."

That's wild!!! Guy's got some energy at 48 if he's thinking like this! LOLz!!

Here's the full interview (below):

Could Diddy handle two more kids? Could YOU handle ten kids???

Posted: 20 Jan 2018 08:41 AM PST

This is so sad...

Rapper Fredo Santana has died. He was just 27 years old.

According to family members speaking out in media reports, his cause of death was a seizure.

Related: Tom Petty Died From Accidental Drug Overdose

TMZ is reporting that Santana, who is a Chicago-based rapper and the cousin of Chief Keef, was found dead at his L.A. home on Friday night by his girlfriend when she came over just before midnight.

The rapper had been having health problems recently, and was hospitalized at one point for liver and kidney problems.

And in the past, Santana had openly talked about his addiction to lean -- the club drink that has caused seizures so many times before.

So, so sad to see. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and loved ones.

Condolences are already coming out from across the music world on social media, too, including Drake (below):
