Don Lemon is officially out at CNN. This really is no surprise after he was in trouble a short time back. The longtime anchor had made a comment about women being past their prime which rubbed his co-anchors the wrong way. It also made waves behind the scenes and viewers were shocked that he would say such a thing. However, he also had made gender-offensive comments prior to this. Lemon soon took time away and was going to be working on his behavior. Now, according to NBC News, Don Lemon is saying he has been fired. Lemon went to Twitter to share the news, noting that his agent was the one to break the news to him. "I am stunned. After 17 years at CNN I would have thought someone in management would have had the decency to tell me directly."

"Don will forever be a part of the CNN family, and we thank him for his contributions over the past 17 years. We wish him well and will be cheering him on in his future endeavors," per a statement from CNN's CEO Chris Licht. He also claimed that they had "parted ways." Things dramatically shifted for Lemon when his close friend, Chris Cuomo was let go. Cuomo led into Lemon's nightly show and they had a great banter. Eventually, the direction of the network changed and Don Lemon was moved to the mornings. He was joined by Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins. No word on what will happen now.

Are you shocked that Don Lemon has been fired? Or, are you shocked it took so long? It seems that his fame somehow went to his head and maybe he wanted to be let go so he could find his place elsewhere.

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, ...

'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?

Whatever Happened to...Bethenny's Hockey Player Boyfriend?

photo courtesy of flickr.com Very few things keep us up at night, here at Three Ice Cubes. Okay, that's a lie. Instagram stories, text messages, loudly chewing and snoring cats; but those are just minor. What about the truly plaguing things in life? Like the lingering questions old episodes of "The Real Housewives of New York City" brings up? 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? He just randomly disappeared after season nine along with almost all of her interns like Alex from season eight who was always confused with being her daughter! And one of the most pressing questions from season nine, since that's the most recent RHONY season on Hulu: what happened to Bethenny Frankel's pro hockey player boyfriend? You know, the one who appeared on the season finale and had to take his tooth out to eat a corned b...
