3 Ice Cubes

photo courtesy of bravotv.com We at Three Ice Cubes have spent all of season 10 of RHONY being Team Carole. Not that we particularly like her that much but we despise Bethenny Frankel even more and her controlling, manipulative ways. That being said, we were appalled to learn, via an article in US Magazine, that departed castmate, Carole Radziwill only speaks to one housewife and it is not who you may expect. One would think it would be Tinsley Mortimer , the cast member Carole set up with on/off boyfriend, Scott Kluth and the one she appears alongside in a bunch of Kluth's CouponCabin commercials with. The one she travels with and the only one to watch Carole run the entire New York City Marathon. However, the tides have turned and Carole's allegiance has failed us.

Yesterday, Jessica Simpson announced she was expecting baby number three with husband Eric Johnson and now, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams has her own big baby news. She is also expecting a bundle of joy with boyfriend Dennis McKinley. This is big for the housewife, formerly married to footballer Kordell Stewart for two years, as she suffered a devastating miscarriage six years ago. “I’ve had a miscarriage before in my past, which I’ve also been open about because I suffer with fibroids and had to have a myomectomy. So just the fear of, ‘Is the baby going to be okay? Will I make it full term?’ All those questions that you ask if you've had a miscarriage before ," Williams, 37 shared in the latest edition of People Magazine.

She used her two children, daughter Maxwell and son, Ace for the big reveal.

The caption lets the world know this now makes them a family of five. The singer/actress/entrepreneur recently launched a baby line while younger sister, Ashlee has dived back into the reality tv world with hubby Evan Ross as the duo explore a singing career together. A lot is happening on the Simpson front and you can see the big reveal on Jessica’s Instagram page! No due date has been released but we wish them all the best!!

When Rusty Gear released his debut EP, Happy Ending , it was anybody's guess where his catchy hooks and southern charm would take him. A tight band, passion for fishing, and the only thing left you can say to a woman without offending her, Dibba Dibba helped to make up a fun foray into trucker-country. The lead single, Jake Brakes, featured a female hook within the chorus leaving you randomly blurting out "Jake Jake Jake, put on your brakes, brakes, brakes..." Accompanied by legal cover hits from the likes of Bob Dylan and The Rolling Stones , Happy Ending has allowed Rusty Gear to move into one of the most beautiful ballads on 2018, the perfect wedding song, in Three Ice Cubes' opinion.  With Wondering Why , a collaboration with Lydia Miller , such powerful lyrics, heartbreak, and crazy love exude through the female voice. It is absolutely thrilling to have watched the evolution of Rusty and now, it's getting even better as we are learning that the vi

  photo courtesy of bravotv.com The RHONY season 10 reunion has come to an end and last night we saw part three, which still had so much Bethenny versus Carole insanity. In case you missed it, here are Mandi's thoughts on the reunion, nothing held back! The fact that Bethenny keeps insisting Carole has no career shows how delusional she really is. Their careers are very different, yes but Carole has had a very intellectual and structured career whereas B just keeps jumping into random Skinnygirl endeavors that I never see in stores. She slaps her brand on everything and it's frankly annoying. The name is annoying and she is annoying. We finally heard from Sonja who made zero sense. Something about anti-depressants making her mean and leaving her without a filter. She was just a bitter old hag for a lot of the season and jealous of the fortunes and happiness Tinsley had who admitted she wished she had gone harder on her once super close friend.  Though I was very pro-C

According to his manager, Erik Kritzer, who spoke with The Hollywood Reporter , Reynolds passed early this morning at Jupiter Medical Center located in Florida. Aside from being part of one of Hollywood's power couples with Loni Anderson (they split in 1994 after six years of marriage), he was a force to be reckoned with. His most notable roles included Deliverance, Smokey and the Bandit , and his Oscar-nominated role in Boogie Nights . On television, he was a fan favorite on Evening Shade , for which he took home an Emmy Award. He leaves behind a son, Quinton, 30 from his marriage to Anderson.
