“Couples Therapy” season 4, episode 1: “Therapy Begins” air sThursday on VH1.

Coming up on the next episode, season 4 opens with celebrity couples arriving to therapy. Included: One of the women is stood up by her boyfriend. Couples include Jon Gosselin and Liz Jannetta; Taylor Armstrong and John Bluher; and Whitney Mixter and Sada Bettencourt.

A VH1 summary of the show:

“Relationships are hard enough, but imagine the pressure of having your hook ups, “bumps” on the relationship road and breakups as fodder for the tabloids. More and more it seems, couples whose matters of the heart play out in the public eye are calling it quits and throwing in the towel on their relationships. Why is it so tough for these couples to stay together? Looking to shed light on the issue, VH1 will examine the complicated and often misunderstood world of high-profile relationships with “Couples Therapy.” DMX (rapper) and Tashera Simmons; Linda Hogan (“Hogan Knows Best”) and Charlie Hill, Chris Nirschel (“The Next Food Network Star”) and Angelina Pivarnick (“Jersey Shore”), Kasey Kahl (“Bachelorette”)  and Vienna Girardi (“The Bachelor”) and Reichen Lehmkuhl and Rodiney Santiago (“The A-List: New York”) will all take a seat on Dr Jenn Berman’s couch.”

“Couples Therapy” season 4, episode 1 airs Jan. 2, 9 p.m. EST, 8 p.m. CST on VH1.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
