News like this is time-sensitive but sometimes, words are hard to come by. Three Ice Cubes was ready to release a statement about the passing of designer Kate Spade, who tragically took her own life last week. Then, the world was hit again by another suicide, this time losing the incredibly talented chef, Anthony Bourdain. Both were extremely creative so it leads one to wonder what the connection between mental illness and creativity is, if there is any tie. There is, by some standards but this could be debated heavily for days.

Both Spade and Bourdain committed suicide by hanging, with Bourdain having an open history of heavy drug and alcohol abuse. They both leave behind one child each and family as well as a bevy of fans that will miss them for years to come. If anything can be learned from these tragedies is that suicide is never the answer. There is light. There is help and the team at TIC is speaking from experience. If you or someone you know needs help, do not hesitate to call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK(8255). Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew and loved both Kate and Anthony! Rest in Peace.

YouTube When you were on a semi-successful reality show, especially as one of the key players, and everyone watched your love story unfold, it only makes sense they will want to keep following you after the series has ended. Such has been the case for 'Jerseylicious' star, Tracy DiMarco , who always went head-to-head with Olivia Blois-Sharpe on the show based around the never-ending drama at the Jersey salon, The Gatsby. Eventually, DiMarco got her happily ever after when she married Corey Epstein in her dream wedding. She continued to pursue her passion, have three kids, develop a wildly successful podcast, and work on clothing and accessories. But, when you are in the public eye, boasting 541K followers on Instagram , almost everything you do is up for scrutiny. Fans (and haters) began to notice a lack of presence when it came to her husband, Corey, and questioned if their marriage was okay. There is an abundance of photos of daughters, Skylar and Jayden as well as son, ...

Instagram stories, text messages, loudly chewing and snoring cats; but those are just minor. What about the truly plaguing things in life?

The whole Housewives franchise is on Hulu and that being our favorite, it is fun to go down memory lane but then it gets us to wondering: whatever happened to Sonja's assistant, Connor?

You know, the one who appeared on the season finale and had to take his tooth out to eat a corned b...

'The Real L Word' Cast- Where Are They Now?

Actors can keep acting but reality stars can drift off into the clouds after their 15 minutes of fame are over. TRLW lasted three seasons with a revolving door of lesbians who soon became like friends and family. Initially based in California, the show followed the lives of a handful of gay women, somehow intertwined in life, and what it was like to date, fall in love, have sex, try to make babies, propose, be successful, and so much more. By the final season, the series went bi-coastal, utilizing NYC as a playground, as well. The show ended in 2012 with two weddings and a lot of tears. So, where are they now?
