Gia Allemand's Mom Blames Daughter's Suicide on PMS

CelebritiesDirt Bag

I would never claim to understand the complex web of internal and external forces that lead a person to a death by suicide. And I certainly don’t want to downplay either a mother’s understanding of her daughter’s temperament or the severity of some women’s menstrual cycles. But Gia Allemand‘s mother’s assessment of Allemand’s death seems a little simplistic.

Donna Micheletti — who was on the phone with the former “Bachelor” star when she hanged herself — described her final moments with her daughter to Dr. Phil, explaining Gia had a history of drastic mood swings around the time of her period.
Donna said, “At that point, with how she felt with her menstrual cycle, she could not see clearly … It was like night and day. It would come out of nowhere. All of a sudden, something would click in there and she would say ‘This isn’t right. He doesn’t love me.'”
Donna acknowledged that Gia had been upset for various reasons — including recent fights with her boyfriend and father — but believes the hormonal extremes are what ultimately drove Gia over the edge.

That…can’t be right. Can it? Regardless, RIP and condolences all over again. [TMZ]


Awwww, Hugh Jackman‘s feeling all bashful about the iron-pumpage photo he posted to Twitter.

The Wolverine actor took to his Instagram and Twitter accounts to show off his bulging biceps and vein-popping form as he trained for new movie X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Lifting an estimated 210 kilograms, a red-faced Jackman told his followers that “if it ain’t bendin, then you’re just pretendin (sic)”.
“I’m a little embarrassed about that. That was a moment. (of) just showing off, completely showing off… I’m about to turn 45, I will never do this again and I want to document it,” he told Access Hollywood.

Don’t hide your light under a bushel, Jackman!!! [PageSix]
