It is a sad day in the DWTS world. Former OG judge Len Goodman has passed away at the age of 78, per ET. At the end of last season, he announced that he would be leaving the long-running series which broke the hearts of many. Though he could be harsh, he had wit and sarcasm to go along with his critiques. Goodman was the perfect blend of good cop/bad cop judge. Now, his departure makes much more sense. Apparently, he had bone cancer but passed peacefully, per his manager, Jackie Gill. 

"It is with great sadness to announce that Len Goodman has passed away peacefully, aged 78. A much-loved husband, father and grandfather who will be sorely missed by family, friends and all who knew him." This statement was initially given to BBC and soon began to circulate. Though fans are just learning about this today, Goodman actually passed over the weekend in hospice.


Len's former co-judge, Bruno Tonioli had this to say: 
"Heart broken my dear friend and partner for 19 years the one and only ballroom legend #lengoodman passed away. I will treasure the memory of our incredible adventures and hundreds of shows we did together @bbcstrictly  @dancingwiththestars  they will never be anyone like you we will miss you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Bruno." 

The tributes kept coming and they certainly will not stop as he was a legend in the ballroom. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew, and loved him. Dance in paradise!

A 'Jerseylicious' Split!

  photo courtesy of imdb.com 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

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

  photo courtesy of amazon.com With the return of the hit Showtime series, 'The L Word,' it makes fans of the original show and ultimate reality spinoff, 'The Real L Word,' quite nostalgic. 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? Get ready to catch up with our fave reality celesbians! - Whitney Mixter : the player of the series, she may have hooked up with almost every member of the cast. But,
