  • Kandi Burruss Wedding Clip Reveals Pre-Nup Fight with Todd Tucker

    Kandi Burruss’ wedding special has received highly lauded reviews. The special, which chronicles the events that led up to Burruss’ wedding on April 4 has definitely been a fan favorite!

    According to US Weekly, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star’s ratings have already been through-the-roof, but media outlets project that the show’s viewership may peak when the wedding airs Sunday night.

    But why? Well, it has everything to do with Burruss’ proposed pre-nuptial agreement for her new hubby, Todd Tucker. Several media outlets reported that Tucker was quite displeased with the terms of the agreement and refused to sign it.

    Of course, that didn’t go over well with Burruss’ mother, Mama Joyce. However, Burruss also seemed a bit miffed by her now-husband’s disapproval and apprehension. The entire debacle reportedly caused the wedding to be delayed for several hours since Tucker refused to sign the papers.

    Now, Bravo has released a sneak peek so fans can get a preview of the drama that’ll unfold on national television tomorrow night. Needless to say, things got pretty heated!

    “You can’t be mad at me for dealing with my lawyer and he has concerns,” Tucker explained. “Is this s–t personal or is it just business?” he added. “How is it personal to say you get what you get and I get?” Kandi responded. Tucker went on to point out one of his main concerns. That’s when the argument began to escalate. “If we don’t work out, I have to get out of the damn house in 30 days? How do I  get out of the house in 30 days?”

    “Todd can say whatever he wants about it not being about the money [being] why he doesn’t like the prenup,” Kandi said to the camera. “But meanwhile, his attorney is [the one] sending notes and all those notes are about money!”

    Ironically, Burruss’ statement is exactly what her mother has been concerned about all along. Mama Joyce has verbally expressed that she feels her new son-in-law is an opportunist trying to get his hands on the Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter’s money.

    “So you think you should get some of my money?” Kandi asked Todd. “I don’t  want your f–king money … I don’t think there’s gonna be no wedding,” said Todd.

    The drama of Kandi’s Wedding unfolds Sunday, June 22 at 8:00pm ET on Bravo!

  • Caroline Manzo Gets ‘Manzo’d With Children’ in New Bravo Spin-Off

    Caroline Manzo isn’t one of the Real Housewives of New Jersey anymore, but her days of reality TV are far from over.

    According to E! News, the 52-year-old reality TV star has landed a spin-off with Bravo.

    The network recently announced that Manzo’s spin-off, Manzo’d with Children, was ordered to a series. The announcement was made at Bravo’s 2014 upfront presentation.

    The new series delves further into the lives of Caroline, her husband Albert, and their sons, Albie and Chris, daughter Lauren and her sister Fran.

    The entrepreneur and radio host spoke with E!, sharing her sentiments of the new series. Of course, she and her family are both elated and excited about the next chapter of reality TV tenure.

    “It is a very exciting time for me and my family. We are grateful for this opportunity from Bravo and our fans,” Caroline said.

    “Expect a lot of smiles, laughs and good times.” The network also released a First Look: Manzo’d with Children segment for the upcoming series, so fans can know what’s to come from the Manzo family.

    While Manzo’s exit from the Real Housewives of New Jersey may be bittersweet for fans, she took time to explain her reasons behind the departure on her Bravo blog.

    “I’ve always prided myself on being a good example for my children and my decision to leave is based on advice I’ve always given them: ‘Be true to yourself and be proud of who you are, you are born with a name and you die with a name, don’t dirty it up.’ Going back to film another season of Housewives would only make me a hypocrite,” she wrote.

    “For me, peace and integrity cannot be bought with money or fame. I practice what I preach, and as I said on the reunion, I’m done. I simply feel that my role has run its course and I have nothing more to give.”

    Manzo’d with Children is tentatively scheduled to premiere some time later this year.

  • Teresa Giudice: Will She Serve Time in Prison?

    Teresa Giudice is definitely in hot water.

    The federal scandal surrounding the Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Teresa and Joe Giudice just took an abrupt turn.

    According to US Weekly, the reality TV couple has opted to plead guilty to several charges they’ve received as part of their 41-count indictment on numerous fraud and tax charges.

    The news comes months after the Giudices’ original plea of not guilty to two of the charges back in November. An inside source close to the couple shared details of their plea deal with the publication.

    “Teresa and Joe Giudice have arranged a plea agreement with prosecutors in their  federal case,” the insider said. “The couple will plead guilty to several but not all 41 of the charges, and both will appear in court on Tuesday with their lawyers.”

    The publication also reports that there will be a “long sentencing process” after the couple enters their plea deal on March 4. The inside source went on to share a number of the possible outcomes the couple could face following the plea arrangement. “Probation, fines, and or jail time are still all options on the table,” adds the source.

    The news of the couple’s federal scandal broke in July of 2013. Teresa, 41, and Joe, 43, were initially charged with conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications, and bankruptcy fraud in a 39-count indictment. However, back in November, two additional charges were added to the original indictment, bringing the number to 41 counts.

    The inside source also confirmed inconsistencies in another report about the couple’s penalties. “Reports that Teresa and Joe have agreed to a deal that involves set definitions of fines, jail time or probation are inaccurate,” the insider said. While the plea deal may lessen their penalties, there is still a possibility that Teresa or Joe may have to serve time in federal prison. Only time will tell.

    Teresa Giudice is currently filming season six of the Real Housewives of New Jersey. The couple is scheduled to release a formal statement in regards to the indictment on Tues., March 4.

  • Patti Stanger Talks Motherhood and Past Abortion

    While Millionaire Matchmaker extraordinaire Patti Stanger has load of advice for wealthy singles, she recently shared that she didn’t always have all the answers. As a matter of fact, Stanger even shed light on some personal issues that have plagued her over the years.

    In a recent Q&A column with OK! Magazine, fans submitted questions to the Bravo TV star via Twitter. One fan asked Stanger what was her biggest regret. Sanger replied, “My biggest regret is I didn’t have children.”

    However, the answer to the question didn’t end there. It was quite obvious that the admission touched a sensitive spot for Stanger, as she was faced with a moment of vulnerability. So instead of abruptly moving on to the next question, she offered more.

    “I didn’t have enough money, and I didn’t think it was OK to have a child and be a single parent,” she recalled. “Now look, everybody’s doing that. And I think that I didn’t find the right guy at the right time to have one with, I guess, but I don’t think I would adopt and be single.”

    It’s definitely safe to say Stanger’s regret centers around the fact that she actually had an opportunity at motherhood. She even continued with an explanation.

    “I think I would’ve eventually found a guy, settled down, got the picket fence, and I just didn’t meet the right person at the right time,” she continued. “I wasn’t lucky like a lot of other people. And that’s my biggest regret, not having kids.”

    Then, Stanger went on to do what she does best – offer advice. Stanger lightened the sullen mood that came with her admission as she insisted that people shouldn’t give up on hopes of love.

    She even offered a different perspective on how people should view love and finding ‘the one’. “You really have to look at it like, you just need one and your’e done,” Stanger advised. “If you constantly keep scoping the field and looking for the biger and better deal, you’re going to be alone. You need to find some good guy, like a 7 or 8, that you can put a nice pair of jeans on, cut his hair, get him a suntan, and he’s sweet and nice and warm, makes a good living, and makes you laugh—and then call it a day.”

  • Kandi Burruss Defends Mama Joyce, Talks Todd Tucker Drama

    Last night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta was definitely one for the record books. However, most of the controversy wasn’t derived from any of the housewives. The drama award for Sunday night goes to none other than Kandi Burruss’ mother, ‘Mama Joyce’.

    It’s definitely quite blatant that the Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter’s mother feels some kind of way, and the crux of the problem is Burruss’ fiance’, Todd Tucker. Now, for those who are avid fans of the Atlanta Housewives, it’s no secret that Mama Joyce isn’t one to hold back her opinion.

    She and Burruss’ have been at odds all season where the wedding plans are concerned as her mother is adamant about her disapproval of Tucker.

    Like most mothers, Mama Joyce is very protective of her daughter, with no intention of hiding any disdain, which is why she flew off the handle last night. For those who missed it, Mama Joyce and Burruss’ close friend Carmen got into a rather heated verbal altercation when she went to try on wedding dresses.

    Mama Joyce is under the distinct impression that Carmen has a high level of underlying jealousy where Burruss is concerned. She also hinted that rumors of Tucker’s alleged infidelity have been brought to their family by Burruss’ employees. But, here’s the kicker. It’s rumored that Tucker is secretly involved with Carmen.

    So, Mama Joyce definitely had no interest in entertaining the likes of Carmen. She also had no qualms about sharing her disapproval of everything with Burruss, and fans were appalled with the brash delivery of her message.

    So, when Burruss appeared on Watch What Happens Live, with R&B singer Fantasia, a burning question was asked. In so many words, a caller asked was Mama Joyce’s disapproval of her engagement about money? The caller wanted to know if her mother felt threatened by Tucker’s presence because she’d no longer have access to her money.

    According to S2S Magazine, the question caused Burruss to erupt, and she tearfully took the liberty of facing the issue dead-on in her mother’s defense.

    “I feel like as her daughter, it’s my job to make sure that she’s good. She made sure I was good growing up. I’m going to make sure that she’s good. I don’t care if she doesn’t like my relationship,” said Burruss tearfully.

    “That’s my mom. I don’t care what y’all have to say. That’s my mom. I’mma make sure that my mama’s good. She don’t have to talk to me. She don’t have to say anything to me,” explained Burruss. “Y’all can tweet. Y’all can do whatever…You can tweet to y’all get blue in the face. She can have whatever she want.”

    “I’m not agreeing with everything my mother says. Obviously, we disagree on a lot of things. It’s just the fact of I’m going to be respectful in the way that I tell her. No, she’s not respectful in the way she tell me how she feels,” she explained. “When I became the person who made more money, it did not make me her mama. She’s still my mama. I’m going to approach her in a certain way.”

    Burruss also addressed the status of her relationship with Tucker. The two are still engaged with plans to marry.

  • Zoe Saldana Rates Britney Spears’ Acting Abilities

    Sometimes awkward moments just fall in your lap, and that’s exactly what actress Zoe Saldana was faced with last night on ‘What What Happens Live’. Thursday, Dec. 5, she and legendary comedian-actress, Whoopi Goldberg, stopped in to chat with Bravo TV host Andy Cohen.

    The show started out like any other, and conversation flowed with the usual comedic banter viewers are accustomed to where Cohen is concerned. But, things got a bit interesting when one question was asked in typical ‘Andy Cohen’ fashion.

    Most would have anticipated questions in regards to some of her most recent films, upcoming projects or her recent marriage.

    However, Cohen had another angle in mind, as one of her earlier works was one of his personal favorites. He inquired about the film, “Crossroads” with she and pop singer, Britney Spears.

    “She has starred in some major blockbusters, but there’s one film that stands out from the rest,” Cohen said as he introduced Saldana. “My fave, that’s right, Crossroads, with Miss Britney Jean Spears.” After Saldana’s introduction, Cohen proceeded to play a short clip of the 2002 film. The topic started out relatively normal. However, things got a little interesting when the game segment of the show came around.

    Cohen set the game clock for 30 seconds, and briefly shared the rules of the game with Saldana before beginning. He stated that he’d ask the ‘Columbiana’ actress everything he wanted to know about ‘Brit Brit’ (referring to Britney Spears). She agreed and the clock started.

    US Magazine shared the comedic dialogue following the show:

    Cohen: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how country is Britney?”

    Saldana: “Country!”

    Cohen: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate her acting chops?”

    Saldana: “Very good.”

    Cohen then asked the Guardians of the Galaxy actress for a number. “Oh, on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being super fabulous?” she replied. “Um, I would say a six? A seven? Eight-ish?”

    In the deft moment, her response was probably her honest opinion, and quite harmless. But nevertheless, it was just a little insulting, and the moment was definitely awkward! However, that happens to be the beauty of “Watch What Happens Live”.

    The show definitely bares it’s name sake. You never know what you will see or hear when its live television. When its live, there’s no time for editing and polishing. However, there was no love lost, and no harm done.

    For those who may not remember Saldana’s humble big-screen beginnings, she co-starred alongside the ‘Hold It Against Me’ in “Crossroads”. She, Spears, and actress Taryn Manning portrayed three high school students who have been friends since their adolescent years. The film chronicles their adventures as they embark on a cross-country road trip.

  • Porsha Williams, Kordell Stewart Divorce Finalized

    Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has officially cut ties with her ex-husband Kordell Stewart. According to TMZ, the two have officially made it to Splitsville, as their divorce was finalized yesterday.

    It was reported that the final divorce decree  was issued on Thursday, Dec. 5 by Fulton County Superior Court Judge John J. Goger.

    Edlin also added that he hopes Williams will not continue to ‘vilify’ Stewart. “For reasons we cannot understand, [Porsha] displayed a reckless abandonment of anything close to the truth over the last eight months,” Edlin said.

    For those who missed it, there were a number of allegations that Williams addressed in reference to Stewart’s sexual orientation. Although Stewart’s attorney aims to place fault on Williams for the allegations, the former Pittsburgh Steeler was actually plagued with questions and speculations of an alternative lifestyle long before she met and married him.

    However, Williams did weigh in on the allegations with her own observations during the season premiere of ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta’.

    “There were definitely times in the marriage that Kordell didn’t necessarily want me, physically, and that made me wonder, what does he want?” she said in the premiere. But, she actually isn’t the first to come forward with such claims.

    Williams’ attorney, stated that the two were pleased to finally settle the matter amicably. Williams has made it quite clear that she is pleased to finally move on from the marriage. She took to her social media timelines on Twitter and Instagram yesterday to share her sentiments with fans.

    Williams and Stewart were married May 21, 2011, had no children together.

  • Terrence Howard Blasts Robert Downey Jr. for ‘Iron Man’ Fallout

    The Best Man Holiday film has been declared the most highly anticipated film of week. So it was no surprise to see some of the movie’s most memorable stars like Terrence Howard out and about. However, Best Man Holiday wasn’t the only film that stirred up media attention where Howard is concerned, and it all started earlier this week. On Thursday, Howard and Best Man co-star Nia Long stopped by What What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.

    The three took part in light-hearted banter, while discussing the new sequel film. But, things got sticky when Cohen announced they’d be taking questions from callers. Howard was questioned about his departure from the sequel of the blockbuster film, “Iron Man.” Howard, who portrayed the role of James Rhodes, didn’t return for the following two installments of the film. The role gradually moved into a new direction as actor Don Cheadle replaced Howard as a robotic form. According to E! News, fans wanted to know the ‘real reason’ he was replaced by Cheadle.

    Media speculation always classified Howard’s departure from the film as a result of a salary dispute. But, Howard shared the details from a different perspective. “The person that I helped become Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), when it was time to re-up for the second one, took the money that was supposed to go to me and pushed me out.” Howard goes on to explain that when the production studio offered to compensate him less for the Iron Man sequel, he contacted the star action – who remained nameless – for help. “He didn’t call me back for three months,” admitted Howard.

    While the details left both Cohen and Long in silence, Howard’s allegations sent the media into a frenzy. But nevertheless, it’s all water under the bridge. Although Howard did not return for the Iron Man sequel, he is, indeed, apart of the cast for the ‘Best Man’ sequel. The film hit theaters nationwide Friday, Nov. 15.
