'RHONY' Reunion Part 1 Preview- And Dorinda Goes For Ramona!

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com Though we are losing 'RHONY' one-liner connoisseur, Dorinda Medley , we still have her for the season 12 reunion. This is one of the first Bravo show reunions to be filmed with the cast in the same room this year due to COVID so everyone, especially host, Andy Cohen , couldn't be more thrilled. Plus, the Zoom reunions were getting a little hard to handle, like watching dysfunctional ' The Brady Bunch' openings. We got a sneak peek at part one and I must say, Bravo, literally. Dorinda came at Ramona Singer in a way she truly deserves and it is clear there will be fireworks between Singer and controversial newcomer, Leah McSweeney , who is currently visiting Tinsley Mortimer , who left halfway through the current season to be with love, Scott Kluth in Chicago. But, Mortimer did join the cast for the reunion after self-quarantining and has no problem clapping back when she needs to! Enjoy this clip and do not forget to catch pa

'RHONY' Loses Dorinda Medley!

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com There will be no more fish room or weekends at the Berzerkshires! As of an hour ago, 'RHONY' cast mate, Dorinda Medley announced she will no longer be a part of the long running Bravo reality series, which just filmed its season 12 reunion on August 5th. Medley, who joined the show in season seven via longtime friend and OG housewife, Ramona Singer, shared the news via Instagram : "What a journey this has been. I have laughed and cried and tried to Make it Nice... But all things must come to an end. This was a great outlet for me to heal when my late husband Richard passed away. I have met so many interesting people and learned so much about myself, about life and about women along the way. Thank you to Bravo and NBC for the incredible ride and to my cast mates for constant stimulation and entertainment. I wish you all health, happiness and success. Clip! Dorinda" Medley has been through quite a ride during her time on th

New Cast Being Announced For 'DWTS' And More!

  photo courtesy of pinterest.com With the hosting switch-up on 'Dancing With the Stars,' it was easy to believe it would be hard to find celebs to dance in the ballroom. It was even a challenge to find pros since Witney Carson and Lindsay Arnold are both expecting. Luckily, things are starting to come together for season 29 after OG host, Tom Bergeron and co-host, Erin Andrews were unexpectedly let go from the series , leaving fans in shock and dismay, some saying they would never watch the show again.  ABC got super lucky because fan fave pros Sharna Burgess and Artem Chigvintsev will be returning this year after being given the boot for no reason at all (seems to be a common theme with ABC) along with Cheryl Burke, Peta Murgatroyd, and Val Chmerkovskiy. As for the celebs, Kaitlyn Bristowe has already confirmed she will be dancing and now Backstreet Boys member AJ McLean is alluding to a spot on the series, as well. Other names swirling are Carole Baskin, Chr

Sentences Handed Down to Lori Loughlin and Her Husband in College Admissions Scandal!

  photo courtesy of flickr.com Actress Lori Loughlin and husband, Mossimo Giannulli were officially sentenced today in the ongoing college admissions scandal involving their daughters, Olivia Jade and Bella. Loughlin, 56, received two months in federal prison while Giannulli will be serving five months. In addition to their prison terms, Loughlin, who is best known for her role as Aunt Becky on 'Full House' and 'Fuller House,' must also perform 100 hours of community service, pay a $150,000 fine, and undergo two years of supervised release. Her fashion designer husband also has two years supervised release but a $250,000 fine and 250 hours of community service.  Their sentencing took place via Zoom after accepting a plea deal. No word on when the duo will begin serving or if they will do it at the same time. Loughlin already lost her jobs with the Hallmark Channel and was unable to film the last season of 'Fuller House' due to the scandal

'RuPaul's Drag Race' Star Chi Chi DeVayne Passes Away at 34!

  photo courtesy of commons.wikimedia.org Chi Chi DeVayne has passed away at just 34 and it is so heartbreaking because I literally watched her on episode 3 of Miss Coco Peru's show 'Casa Coco' weeks ago. She seemed so full of life, just taking life day by day and recalling how she and Miss Coco met, their fun times together, and how they formed an everlasting bond. Today, after it was announced DeVayne, born Zavion Davenport, has passed, Miss Coco Peru shared this on her Instagram : " Her laugh alone was enough to win my heart, but there was so much to her that won me over. I loved Chi Chi and I always told her so because… how could you not? She was lovable because she loved. That laugh of hers was the sound of her beautiful spirit. I’m heartbroken." Many many remember DeVayne from 'RuPaul's Drag Race' season eight and season three of 'All-Stars.'   RuPaul shared her sadness via Twitter: "I am heartbroken to learn of th

Mandi's Thoughts On 'Darcey and Stacey' Season 1 Premiere!

  photo courtesy of tlc.com It's another '90 Day Fiance' spinoff, y'all! This time, it features fan favorite (love her or hate her, you definitely know her), Darcey Silva and twin sister, Stacey on 'Darcey and Stacey.' We initially met Darcey on '90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days' but it is Stacey who should continue this legacy as she is engaged to Florian, who's signed the K-1 Visa, bags packed, and ready to come live in America. It's hard with the twins because they are seemingly always shopping and getting cosmetic procedures, Darcey crying over failed foreign relationships but with this new series, we get a little insight on what made them who they are.  They moved around a lot when they were younger and did not deem themselves the most attractive, being made fun of for their looks. They, luckily, had each other and, it was not until college, that they became respected for their sense of style and started to grow into themselv

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen Expecting 3rd Child!

  photo courtesy of flickr.com Here comes a quarantine baby! John Legend and Chrissy Teigen have announced they are expecting their third child via Legend's latest music video, 'Wild.' At the end of said video, Teigen and the musician, 41 are panned in on, holding the model, host, and author's prominent baby bump. Back in 2019, Teigen, 34, who already shares daughter Luna, 4 and son, Miles, 2 with Legend, said she wanted to wait a few years before they further expanded their family. Well, looks like the time is now. The duo have been married since 2013. No due date has been revealed but we are super excited for the Legend family! Check out the video for 'Wild ' below!  

Joe Biden Picks VP Running Mate!

  photo courtesy of joebiden.com The wait is finally over. In what is being deemed as a historic move, Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President, Joe Biden has picked biracial California Senator, Kamala Harris , to be his running mate. Both Biden and Berni e Sanders , who was also running for president (for the second time) said they would definit ely choose a woman when the time came. Then, the Black Lives Matter movement occurred and it became glaringly obvious the woman had to be African-American to help bridge the divide as the United States was filled with so much hate, racism, antisemitism, and beyond. It was like being in a time warp.  There were a handful of candidates such as Stacey Abrams and Val Demings but, in the end, Harris was the take charge kind of leader who could go head-to-head with the Republican Party and stand firm with Biden. Though they quarreled during the initial debates, this just shows how two people can put their personal differen

And Another 'Teen Mom 2' Baby On the Way!

  photo courtesy of pinterest.com Monday night, we announced 'Teen Mom 2' star, Kailyn Lowry had given birth to baby number four on July 30th. Now, we have more baby news from the franchise as Kail's co-star, Chelsea Houska DeBoer, has shared she's expecting baby number four, as well. On her Instagram page , she showed a photo of, what appeared to be a wooden pole for construction, and names written on it: Cole, Chelsea, Aubree, Watson, Layne, Baby with the announcement- " One more DeBoer! Coming early 2021 🖤" This will be her third child with husband Cole DeBoer , whom she married in October 2016. Aubree is from her relationship with Adam Lind, which we saw play out on '16 & Pregnant' and continues to be a roller-coaster on most seasons of the hit MTV series 'Teen Mom 2,' which returns with a new season on September 1. Cole has been such a great stepdad to Aubree, 10, that she has even taken his last name (it's a hyphenate

Kailyn Lowry Gives Birth to Baby #4!

Photo courtesy of kaillowry.com Kailyn Lowry is now a mom to four boys, she confirmed to US Weekly . The ‘Teen Mom 2 ’ star, podcaster, author, and haircare mogul gave birth on Thursday, July 30th. This is her second child with ex-boyfriend, Chris Lopez; they currently share Lux Russell, almost 3, though Lowry has been very candid that she has done most of the work. She also is mom to sons Isaac (with ex, Jo Rivera), 10 and Lincoln (with ex Javi Marroquin), 6. As of now, the new baby doesn’t have a name but the 28-year-old said in an Instagram story she had a few names picked out and would know when she saw her new baby boy. She also assured fans the baby would not remain nameless for two months like like Lux did. Congrats to the happy family!

Twins Times Two- Nikki Bella Is A Mom, Too!

  photo courtesy of pinterest.com It's twin magic, for real! On the heels of Brie Bella announcing the arrival of her baby boy, twin sister, Nikki Bella has an announcement of her own- she's a mama, too! Yes, she and fiance, Artem Chigvintsev welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on Friday, July 31st. His arrival occurred just one day prior to the arrival of his new cousin. In her announcement, via Instagram , Nikki, 36 said this: " 7/31/2020 💙 Our baby boy is here and we couldn’t be HAPPIER and more in LOVE! Everyone is safe and healthy." Artem also took to his Instagram to share the news: "7/31/2020 please welcome our precious baby boy Chigvintsev 👶 proud of my love @thenikkibella." The photo attached is the three of them holding hands and it is so cute. Neither twin has revealed names just yet for their new bundles of joy but how cute is it that they delivered babies just one day apart and they both had boys? Loving it! Congrats to Nikki and

'90 Day Fiance' Paul and Karine Drama- What We Know!

  photo courtesy of youtube.com Paul Staehle and Karine Martins have not been the most stable '90 Day Fiance' couple we have ever seen. Well, none of the couples are all that stable but this is one of those hot mess couples that make you go "hmmm..." Let's face it- when we saw Paul packing up to head to meet Karine for the first time in Brazil, he went just a tad overboard- and that is an understatement. He brought bundles of cases filled with more protective equipment than I think we have ever seen and even Karine had to laugh when he dressed like the Gorton's fisherman to swim the Amazon with her. He even learned how to protect his penis from a dangerous fish so he was beyond ready for anything to come his way; the fact he had a lock of his mother's hair with him was even more protection than the fish penis condom, let's just make this clear. But, a criminal background and time in jail may have been more than his soon-to-be bride, Karine barg

It's A BOY For Brie Bella!

  photo courtesy of pinterest.com Brie Bella is a mom again and this time, she is seeing blue! The ' Total Bellas' star revealed she and husband, Bryan Danielson welcomed their second child yesterday. "It’s a BOY!!! 💙 8-1-2020. We are overwhelmed with joy and everyone is healthy!!!, " Bella shared in an Instagram post . Unlike Brie's twin sister, Nikki Bella , the Danielson's were more hesitant to know the sex though it looked like Brie, 36, may have peeked at one point. Interestingly enough, the twins discovered they were pregnant around the same time, their due dates weren't far apart, and now we know blue is the color of the year for the twins. Nikki and fiance, Artem Chigvintsev , threw a gender reveal on the 'Total Bellas' season finale and discovered they were having a boy so the coincidences just show how in sync these twins really are. As of now, there is no name for Baby Boy Danielson but he joins big sister, Birdie, 3. Congrats o

Bring 'The Outsider: The Complete First Season' To the Inside NOW!

*WARNER BROS. HOME ENTERTAINMENT PROVIDED ME WITH A FREE COPY OF THE DVD I REVIEWED IN THIS BLOG POST. THE OPINIONS I SHARE ARE MY OWN.* In 2020, anything based on a novel by Stephen King just seems way too appropriate. Enter 'The Outsider: The Complete First Season' on Blu-ray and DVD and I am here for it. It is such a great distraction for what is going on in the real world and it is super easy to get lost in binging 10 amazing episodes of this series. But, it's not just the 10 episodes but it's bonus features which get me to still STAN DVDs and Blu-rays and 'The Outsider' definitely does not disappoint or come up short. It includes six making-of featurettes, along with an interview with the man himself, legendary Stephen King. The cast and producers also take the time to delve into 'The Outsider' in four parts so it takes the package to another level. It's a whodunnit at its finest which will leave your head spinning and jaw dropping a

Sean Penn Is A Married Man!

  photo courtesy of en.wikipedia.org Sean Penn is officially off the market. The 59-year-old philanthropist, Oscar winner, and actor tied the knot with girlfriend of four years, Leila George , though their date of marriage is uncertain. It was fellow philanthropist, Irena Medavoy , who confirmed the happy news yesterday, via social media: "We are so happy for @leilageorge #seanpenn getting married. We love you. We are over the moon to find your soul mate true partner. You are meant to be together God bless you both." Medavoy added a handful of photos which included George's blue engagement ring as well as both husband and wife wearing matching gold bands.  Both Rosanna Arquette and Josh Brolin chimed in the comments with positive messages and emojis for Penn and George, 28. This is Penn's third marriage as he was wed to Madonna from 1985-1989 and Robin Wright from 1996-2010, with whom he has two children, Dylan and Hopper. Most recently, he was in a two-y
