"Designing Women" Star Passes Away!




I was ready to find out where he was now after "Designing Women" was brought back in reruns to LOGO. Now, we have our answer and sadly, it is not a good one. Meshach Taylor has passed away late Saturday evening at the age of 67 from cancer. If you don't remember him as the feisty assistant on DW, then you must remember him from "Mannequin" and its less successful sequel "Mannequin 2: On the Move." His mother, wife and children were by his side as he slipped into the night to join former DW co-star Dixie Carter.
Prior to his passing, Taylor's family sensed that he was getting ready so they posted this to his Facebook page: "It is with love and gratitude that we sorrowfully announce that our darling, amazingly brilliant and dynamic Meshach, the incredible father, husband, son and friend has begun his grand transition. Our friends who know and love us, please offer your prayers for his peace and blazing light as he ascends to the heavens. Those who need to call the family please do. Those who desire to post memories, we are open and graciously accepting all gestures of peace. Love, the Taylor family." If that does not break your heart, I don't know what will! He will be greatly missed and I will always remember him fondly as the super colorful window dresser from the movies and the one man to survive those Southern Belles. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and co-stars at this time. We wish the Emmy-nominee much peace "as he ascends to the heavens."

'DWTS' Names First Season 35 Contestants

YouTube Dancing With the Stars has named its first contestants for Season 35. Many names have been thrown around, but now, two are official. The first is Maura Higgins of Love Island and The Traitors fame. She infamously got the winner, Rob Rausch, to buy her a Birkin when he was able to deceive her in Season 4 of The Traitors. Her name had been out there for DWTS as well as for The Bachelorette , so it will be great to see how far she makes it.  The next is Summer House star Ciara Miller. She is smack dab in the middle of the Amanda Batula/West Wilson romance scandal, so her time is now. This all went down on Wednesday, April 22nd, at Hulu's Get Real House event. The new season will likely premiere in September, so get ready. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) Are you excited about this new cast so far ? Let us know who else you want to see.

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

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, ...

Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Khloud’ Protein Popcorn: Light As Air?

YouTube Khloe Kardashian has just launched her Khloud Protein Popcorn, and it's supposed to be extremely special and different. The big draw to it is that it is specifically a protein popcorn. Khloe opted to put protein in a fun, grabbable snack, and it is great for those who need this on the go. Or for people who love to snack, who do not get enough of this essential macronutrient. Yes, protein bars can be great, but they often do not satisfy a craving. So, how did the Khloud popcorn fare, and is it worth the hype? We got it for you. Flying On A Cloud Not everyone wants to support the Kardashians, and that is understandable . They have become a hit-or-miss family and might be overrated. However, almost everything that they touch turns to gold, so adding food only makes sense. Kourtney Kardashian has her own supplement line, and now, Khloe Kardashian has ventured into snacks. She has long been into fitness, and it has been a great coping mechanism. So, on April 29th, 2025, she dro...
