  • Carrie Keagan Joins Cast of “Celebrity Apprentice”

    Carrie Keagan is among the first cast members to sign on to Celebrity Apprentice with Arnold Schwarzenegger at the helm. The eighth season marks the first without Donald Trump. NBC severed ties with the Republican presidential hopeful in June after he made disparaging remarks about immigrants.

  • Vivica Fox: Did She Question 50 Cent’s Sexuality on “Watch What Happens Live?”

    Vivica Fox: Did She Question 50 Cent’s Sexuality on “Watch What Happens Live?”

    Vivica A. Fox was chatting about her upcoming guest role on Empire with Watch What Happens Live host Andy Cohen, when she made an interesting comment. Now some are wondering if she was questioning 50 Cent’s sexuality.

    Andy Cohen and Vivica A. Fox were contemplating a post 50 Cent made–that has since been removed–about “gay stuff” on Empire.

    That’s when Vivica A. Fox made the comment in question.

    “You know, the pot called the kettle black is all I’m saying,” she said.

    Andy Cohen quickly asked Fox is she was calling 50 Cent (who is her ex, by the way) gay.

    “He’s not. … He just seems like he’s got something that’s not quite clear,” she said, and referencing a magazine cover that featured 50 Cent and Soulja Boy.

    Neither 50 Cent nor Soulja Boy appreciated Vivica A. Fox’s comments.

    Soulja Boy called her a “Granny desperate for attention.”

    50 Cent said “She things (sic) I’m gay because I let her lick my ass.”

    It’s worth noting that 50 Cent has an issue with Empire. He believes the show ripped off his Starz show Power.

    It’s also worth noting that Vivica A. Fox thrives on drama. Did you see her on the last season of Celebrity Apprentice? Enough said.

    Fox has since apologized to Soulja Boy, but not to 50 Cent.

    Do you think 50 Cent is gay and Vivica A. Fox has let the cat out of the bag? Or is she simply causing drama for the sake of nothing more than–well, causing drama?

  • Brandi Glanville Talks Wine Named After Her, ‘Unfiltered Blonde Chardonnay’

    Brandi Glanville, formerly of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, may not be a reality TV star at the moment, but she can at least boast about having a kind of wine named after her.

    During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, Brandi admitted that it wasn’t her idea to leave RHOBH.

    “It wasn’t,” she confessed. “No–[Bravo] said, ‘We’ll have you back part time,’ and that was it. That said, I haven’t filmed ye…I’m actually seeing Yolanda today–we’re not filming it, but we are hanging out…honestly, I’m happier. I feel like I broke up with an abusive boyfriend. Like, ‘Oh my God, I love you, but you’re horrible for me.’”

    Brandi Glanville also dished about the wine she brought along to enjoy during the interview.

    “Well, I think everyone who knows me knows how much I love my wine,” she said. “A friend of mine was representing an athlete actually, and this winery came to the athlete and he said, ‘I don’t drink, but wait–I know somebody who drinks and likes white wine. So, he introduced us and this, a year and a half later, is Unfiltered Blonde Chardonnay.”

    If ever there were the perfect moniker for wine named after Brandi Glanville, then ‘Unfiltered Blonde Chardonnay’ is the one. If you don’t believe it from having watched Brandi on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, then perhaps you saw her on Celebrity Apprentice with Donald Trump last season. She was rather unfiltered during her goings-on there as well.

    Brandi Glanville still has plenty to do in spite of not filming for RHOBH. She is in the process of writing her third book. She has her own podcast, called Brandi Glanville Unfiltered.

    Don’t forget about the wine. You can be sure that Brandi Glanville is helping advertise her Unfiltered Blonde Chardonnay, too.

    Doesn’t the name make you want to run out and pick up a bottle?

  • Lisa Lampanelli: Insult Comic Talks 107-Pound Weight Loss and Keeping It Off for Three Years

    Lisa Lampanelli lost 107 pounds following gastric sleeve surgery three years ago, and even more impressive than that–she’s kept the weight off.

    Known for both her hilarious insults and her success on Celebrity Apprentice, the 53-year-old comedienne dished recently to The Huffington Post.

    When asked about whether there’s a new man in her world, Lisa Lampanelli–who is recently divorced–said no.

    “I got a divorce that was final in December, but I don’t feel I’m in a position to date yet,” she said. “I have no personal life.”

    Instead, Lisa Lampanelli has chosen to focus solely on herself and her emotions at this time. An emotional eater, she realizes now that’s how she wound up packing on so much weight.

    “I’ve really been working on the emotional and internal issues that made me eat in the first place. It’s been a real journey,” she explained.

    Surprisingly, Lampanelli still incorporates fat jokes into her comedy routines.

    “I honestly feel like 99 percent of people have some kind of self-hate about their looks and if I can joke about mine, maybe they can feel better about theirs,” she said.

    One day Lisa Lampanelli hopes to find love again. She was married to Jimmy ‘Big Balls’ Cannizzaro for four years. That was her second marriage.

    “I’ve only had two [weddings] and want three more,” she joked.

    She is, however, steering clear of apps like Tinder.

    “I’m way too famous and rich to be on a dating app, but if I get very desperate by the time I’m 60, I’ll go on Tinder. Or I’ll go on Millionaire Matchmaker, I’ll call Patti Stanger,” she joked.

    Lisa Lampanelli is positively glowing following her 107-pound weight loss. Hopefully she gets a grip on her emotions so she’s at less risk for putting the weight back on. In the meantime she’ll no doubt be at the right place at the right time and meet a perfect someone, who is looking for the same things in life as the comedienne.

  • Brandi Glanville Claims She Wasn’t Fired from ‘RHOBH’ for Diva Behavior

    Brandi Glanville says she’s never been called a diva in her life, and that that’s not why she was recently fired from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Just last week, Entertainment Tonight confirmed that Glanville won’t return from the next season of RHOBH. People magazine reports her behavior was the reason she was fired.

    “Brandi got too big for her britches. She was a diva, and it came around to bite her,” a source told People. “By the end, she couldn’t get along with anyone, and no one wanted to shoot with her.”

    Brandi Glanville begs to differ, and she took to Twitter to defend herself.

    She even made note of her successes on Celebrity Apprentice with both Leeza Gibbons and Donald Trump.

    Even though ET confirmed her firing, Bravo has yet to officially announce that Brandi Glanville isn’t returning to The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

    Kim Richards won’t be returning, however, following her stint in rehab, and there’s a rumor going around that says Kathy Hilton may replace sister Kyle Richards.

    Do you agree with sources that claim Brandi Glanville is a diva? Do you think that’s why she was fired from RHOBH?

    Or do you side with Brandi Glanville on this one? Is she quite simply misunderstood?

  • Ivanka Trump Gets Her Wish As Donald Trump Runs For President

    Ivanka Trump surely knew. About a week ago the daughter of billionaire Donald Trump told CNBC’s Closing Bell that she hoped her father would run for for President of the United States.

    “I would support him and encourage him wholeheartedly,” Ivanka Trump said at the time.

    Ivanka Trump felt that her father would be successful as President, and she said she based her opinion on seeing him “as a citizen,” not as a daughter.

    “I have the unique perspective of being by his side every day and understanding how incredibly capable and just want an amazing visionary he is,” Ivanka Trump said. “As a citizen, it would be amazing if he makes that decision.”

    Well, Ivanka Trump has gotten her wish. Donald Trump came out with all the bombast and hyperbole you would expect from the man who runs Celebrity Apprentice.

    “I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created,” Trump said in his announcement speech.

    His qualifications for being President?

    “I’m really rich,” Trump said, claiming he had assets of $9.2 billon and a net worth of $8.7 billion.

    Trump compared the U.S. to other countries around the world, declaring he could bring back America’s glory days.

    “America is a laughingstock all over the world,” Trump declared. “ISIS, China, Mexico are all beating us. Everybody is beating us.”

    “The American Dream is dead,” Trump said. “But if I win, I will bring it back bigger and better and stronger than ever before.”

    While Ivanka may see her father as the perfect candidate, Trump’s campaign announcement drew more jokes about the GOP “clown car” of candidates.

    Some even point out that running for the office of President brings business benefits to almost anyone who takes on the race, even if they lose. Trump himself acknowledged how great extra press can be for a businessman.

    “From a pure business point of view, the benefits of being written about have far outweighed the drawbacks,” Trump wrote.

    Trump dismisses polling data that says he doesn’t have a prayer.

    “I have learned much more from conducting my own random surveys than I could have ever learned from the greatest consulting firms.”

    So, why is Ivanka’s dad running for President?

    “I do it to do it,” Trump says. Which is as good a reason as any, I suppose.

  • Kate Gosselin: Bodyguard Steve Neild Helps Disgraced ’19 Kids and Counting’ Star Josh Duggar Move Out Of His Home

    Kate Gosselin’s bodyguard (and rumored former lover) Steve Neild lent a helping hand to disgraced 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar as he move out of his house.

    Steve Neild was seen helping 27-year-old Josh Duggar, his wife and their three children move out of their Oxon Hill, Maryland home, which Duggar recently listed for rental.

    Apparently, bodyguard Steve Neild frequently helps out with duties for many TLC stars. He regularly travels with Kate Gosselin, 40, who split from ex-husband Jon Gosselin in 2009. He most recently provided security while Kate Gosselin filmed Celebrity Apprentice.

    As for Josh Duggar, his change of residence comes in the wake of the molestation scandal that has left the entire Duggar family in turmoil. TLC still has not determined the fate of 19 Kids and Counting following the revelation that Josh Duggar molested young girls, including two of his little sisters, when he was a teenager.

    Josh Duggar is apparently planning to move closer to the family’s homestead in Tontitown, Arkansas.

    Patriarch and matriarch Jim Bob and Michelle gave a talked-about interview to Fox News’ Megyn Kelly on Wednesday, June 3. In the interview, the parents of Josh Duggar questioned how the media was able to obtain the police documents that detailed the abuses.

    The Duggars say they are trying to put the past in its place and move forward following the media blitz and lamented that the whole family may be punished as a result of one child’s decisions.

    “At this point our family is just trying to regroup from these attacks,” Jim Bob said when asked whether TLC will cancel the reality show. “I don’t know if the rest of our family should be punished for the act of one of our children — something that happened 12 years ago — or not, but you know, we are fine whether they film us or not. We’re going to live life and we’re going to go on and serve God.”

  • Kate Gosselin: Bodyguard Steve Neild Helping ’19 Kids and Counting’s’ Josh and Anna Duggar Move

    Kate Gosselin has long been flanked by bodyguard Steve Neild. Photos of Neild accompanying her in New York–when she appeared on Celebrity Apprentice–and traveling with Kate and her eight little Gosselins have appeared online and in magazines for years. Rumors even say Kate Gosselin and Steve Neild have been/are romantically involved.

    Now Steve Neild is on a new mission–albeit quite likely a temporary one. He is presently just outside of Washington, D.C., helping Josh and Anna Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame move back home to Arkansas.

    Neild was spotted at the disgraced 19 Kids and Counting star’s Oxon Hill, Maryland home earlier this week. Josh Duggar listed the home for rent following his sexual molestation scandal and subsequent resignation from the Family Research Council. Steve Neild won’t be serving as full-time security for Josh Duggar, 27, and his wife and three children, but he was there to help the family as they prepared for the moving trucks. It is likely Steve Neild was busy keeping the paparazzi at bay.

    Neild has worked for Kate Gosselin since her split from Jon Gosselin back in 2009.

    So how does Kate Gosselin’s bodyguard wind up working for Josh Duggar?

    It’s got to be per TLC–the network that airs 19 Kids and Counting and previously aired both shows featuring Kate Gosselin--Jon and Kate Plus 8 and Kate Plus 8. It’s quite likely that Steve Neild will soon return to Kate Gosselin’s side–in some capacity, at least–once his stint with Josh Duggar is through.

    Josh and Anna Duggar are moving to a home they purchased in foreclosure back in January, near where Josh’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, live. Josh sexually molested five underage girls when he was a teenager. Two of his victims–Jill Duggar Dillard and Jessa Duggar Seewald–addressed the media in an interview with The Kelly File’s Megyn Kelly on Friday.

  • Kate Gosselin Claims Only Some of Her Children Visit Dad Jon Gosselin

    Kate Gosselin claims that only some of her eight children visit their father, Jon Gosselin.

    According to a report from E! News, the former Jon and Kate Plus 8 star spoke about her ex-husband recently, and what kind of relationship she and the kids have with him.

    “I don’t have one,” the former Celebrity Apprentice star said of her relationship status with Jon Gosselin. “I keep the peace. Some of the kids visit and some don’t. That’s for the best.”

    Kate Gosselin claims her children are encouraging her to find love again, however.

    “They are encouraging me more and more. I just don’t have a lot of time to be out there to be searching for someone! I would love to date! And I would love for the kids to have that male role model,” she says. What kind of man is the former nurse interested in dating? “He has to be comfortable with the publicity, my eight kids—and all the noise in my house!” she says in an upcoming issue of In Touch.

    Kate has been linked in the past to bodyguard Steve Neild as well as wealthy businessman Jeff Prescott. She insists she never dated either man, however.

    Kate Gosselin does admit to having a crush on actor Patrick Dempsey, who is single these days.

    How do you suppose her eight kids would feel about having another celebrity in the house?

    It’s actually rather sad that Kate Gosselin’s kids don’t all visit their father. Do you think she plays a role in that decision? Even though Kate claims she allows the kids to visit Jon when they want, she has never had much positive to say about him ever since their split.

    Do you think as the Gosselin children grow a bit older and even more independent they will spend more time with their dad? Sometimes kids feel like they’re supposed to pacify one parent or the other when they live in a family of divorce. Hopefully Kate Gosselin isn’t making any of her children feel they shouldn’t be spending time with their father.

  • Brandi Glanville: RHOBH Star Prays for LeAnn Rimes

    Brandi Glanville is known for being a rather loud and sort-of conniving star on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. But is that how Brandi really behaves when she’s not on TV? If you ask people like Donald Trump and Vivica A. Fox–or maybe even Geraldo Rivera–they will no doubt recall her recent days on Celebrity Apprentice, and they might not know how to answer. If you read Brandi’s latest Bravo blog, however, you might be forced to believe there’s a decent human being inside.

    It’s important to recall that Brandi Glanville was once married to Eddie Cibrian, and that he cheated on her with country singer LeAnn Rimes. Cibrian and Rimes have been married for quite some time now, and they have butted heads with Brandi on more than one occasion.

    Now back to that blog.

    On Wednesday of this week, Brandi Glanville proceeded to write her post, and in it were some incredibly compassionate passages.

    “I’m in my American Airlines’ seat 36 hours later, flying back home from NYC, thankful to be on a safe path home,” Glanville wrote. “My prayers go out to the families and loved ones of the downed German airliner in the French Alps this morning.”

    “I cannot imagine the pain being experienced by these families at this moment, which shockingly has led me to add a new person into my flight prayer today…” Glanville continued. “My children’s stepmom. Don’t get me wrong–not everything is yet copasetic, but my children love her, so she is now in the ‘flight prayer,’ differences aside.”

    Yes, you read that correctly. Brandi Glanville just prayed for LeAnn Rimes.

    Now certainly tragedies like the downed German airliner make lots of people count their blessings, but Brandi Glanville’s situation with LeAnn Rimes is anything but typical.

    Are you as shocked as most people must be to learn that Brandi Glanville included LeAnn Rimes in her prayers? Does it show you a side to the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star you thought perhaps didn’t exist?

  • Vivica A. Fox Confirmed for ‘Independence Day 2,’ What About Will Smith?

    Vivica A. Fox has gone from Donald Trump’s boardroom on Celebrity Apprentice back to the big screen. The actress has signed on to star in Independence Day 2. What about Will Smith? Will he appear in the fit film’s sequel, too?

    The film, called ID Forever, will star Liam Hemsworth in addition to Vivica A. Fox. It won’t star Will Smith, however.

    Roland Emmerich, the director of both films, took to Twitter to confirm Vivica’s return. Posting a photo of he and the gorgeous actress, Roland wrote, “Exciting news… just officially closed @MsVivicaFox for #IndependenceDay!”

    Vivia A. Fox shared her gratitude as well.

    In addition to Vivica A. Fox reprising her role as Jasmine Dubrow, Jeff Goldblum will reprise his role as David Levinson. Jessie Usher has been confirmed to headline the film, playing the role originated by Will Smith.

    Were you a fan of Independence Day? Will you look forward to its sequel, ID Forever, in 2016?

  • Kyle Richards, Brandi Glanville: Will ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ Stars Make Up?

    Kyle Richards and Brandi Glanville–both stars of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills–have been at each other all season so far. Is there hope that the two women will ever make up?

    No. At least not according to Kyle.

    Kyle Richards was asked recently if she thought a reconciliation might be in the cards.

    “No. I do not,” she said during a recent interview with E! News. “I’m the kind of person where I get over everything. I not only forgive, I forget. At this point in my life, it’s too much negativity, and it’s very toxic for me. I know that to be friends with her, it’s just setting myself up to be attacked again. I’m making a conscious decision to keep away because life’s complicated enough.”

    Brandi Glanville and Kyle Richards have been feuding over Kyle’s sister Kim Richards of late.

    Kyle admits that this, the fifth season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, has been the most dramatic ever.

    “I mean, I never imagined it would be like this, ever, when I signed on to do this show,” she said. “Never in my life.”

    Kim and Kyle Richards have barely spoken to one another following a few incidents involving Kim’s sobriety. Both women–along with Brandi Glanville–got into a big fight when the cast was in Amsterdam recently.

    Fans of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills probably aren’t the least bit surprised to learn that Kyle Richards doesn’t believe she and Brandi Glanville will ever make up and be friends again. Those who don’t watch the show are likely wondering how such insane drama can even be real.

    Do you think it is?

    Do you foresee Brandi Glanville and Kyle Richards moving past their issues, or is this simply a predetermined facet of drama designed to keep the show’s ratings high?

    Those who don’t watch RHOBH, but caught Brandi Glanville recently on Celebrity Apprentice know she’s good at stirring the proverbial pot. Do you suppose similar shenanigans take place on the reality show?

  • Kelly Osbourne Leaves ‘Fashion Police’ After Zendaya Diss, Has Trouble Forgiving

    Kelly Osbourne announced last Friday that she was leaving her spot on E!’s Fashion Police, just days after her co-host, Giuliana Rancic, made a very inappropriate comment about Disney star Zendaya’s hair on the Oscar’s red carpet. Zendaya wore long dreads with her Oscars gown, and Rancic said she smelled like ‘patchouli or weed.’

    Now a report claims Kelly Osbourne had no choice but to resign from Fashion Police–even though Giuliana Rancic issued a very public apology for her remark.

    “Being the feisty and stubborn character she is, she would find it incredibly difficult to work alongside Giuliana again,” the report states.

    Zendaya didn’t want to see her good friend give up the job she loved, so she must feel awful in light of Kelly Osbourne’s resignation.

    “Zendaya told Kelly that she shouldn’t quit Fashion Police because of the race argument,” a source told Hollywood Life. “She said that now that an apology was made, everybody should move on and try and forgive and forget.”

    Sharon Osbourne is proud of the way her daughter has handled the situation.

    Both Khloe Kardashian of Keeping Up With the Kardashians fame and NeNe Leakes of The Real Housewives of Atlanta and Celebrity Apprentice fame are said to be in the running for the job at Fashion Police that Kelly Osbourne vacated.

    Do you think Kelly Osbourne really left Fashion Police because she knew she’d never be able to work alongside Giuliana Rancic in light of her comment about Zendaya? Or do you think there’s more to the story?

  • NeNe Leakes, Khloe Kardashian in Running for ‘Fashion Police’ Spot

    NeNe Leakes and Khloe Kardashian are reportedly the frontrunners under consideration to fill the spot on Fashion Police vacated last week by Kelly Osbourne. Osbourne left the E! show due in part to the disrespectful comment Giuliana Rancic made about Zendaya’s hair last weekend at the Oscars.

    “Fashion Police will return, as scheduled, on Friday, March 30 at 9 p.m. and no decisions have been made on her replacement,” a statement from E! reads.

    NeNe Leakes appeared on Fashion Police back in 2013, as a guest co-host. She is best known for being on The Real Housewives of Atlanta. In 2011 she was a contestant on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.

    Khloe Kardashian has been asked before to serve as a host on Fashion Police, but turned the offer down.

    “She was supposed to do it last time and passed,” a source explained. “She may consider doing it again but the offer would have to be really high.”

    Kelly Osbourne announced she was leaving Fashion Police just days after Giuliana Rancic made the unfortunate comment at the Oscars red carpet about Zendaya’s hair smelling like “patchouli and weed.”

    Reps for both NeNe Leakes and Khloe Kardashian were contacted and asked for confirmation that each is under consideration by Fashion Police. Neither rep replied.

    Who would you prefer to see take Kelly Osbourne’s spot on Fashion Police? Do you think NeNe Leakes or Khloe Kardashian is better suited for the job?

    Or is there someone else besides Khloe Kardashian or NeNe Leakes whom you think could step up and do even better?

  • Leeza Gibbons Wins “Celebrity Apprentice”, Gets $250K For Her Charity

    Leeza Gibbons beat out Geraldo Rivera on Monday night’s live finale of Celebrity Apprentice.

    In addition to the satisfaction of victory, Leeza Gibbons won $250,000 for her charity, Leeza’s Care Connection.

    The charity helps families whose loved ones are dealing with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as those suffering from the disease.

    Geraldo Rivera was playing for Life’s WORC Family Center for Autism.

    For the final task, the contestants were asked to make a really good commercial for Universal Orlando Resort.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QturQGAVOyI

    Leeza Gibbons and Geraldo Rivera were also required to sell vacation packages to the resort in order to raise money for charity.

    Leeza Gibbons and Rivera premiered their commercials in New York on the red carpet.

    After all was said and done, Leeza Gibbons won out over Rivera.

    Some might say she killed her opponents with kindness. Leeza Gibbons was definitely one of the nicest contestants to ever compete on the show.

    Even Donald Trump himself remarked, “Leeza, you led with kindness. I don’t see these people in New York.”

    I mean, it must have been quite a feat. Leeza Gibbons had to keep her cool while working with difficult contestants like Vivica A. Fox and even the queen of the pot-stirrers, Brandi Glanville.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOOzNAdCvEs

    But somehow, Leeza Gibbons says she was able to “to cut out the crazy … and drop the drama” in order to focus on the task at hand an win that money for Leeza’s Care Connection.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w_GxGbncpo

    It wasn’t just kindness that put Leeza Gibbons over the top, however.

    Her record at the end of it all was eight wins and three losses. Not too shabby.

    What do you think of Leeza’s win on Celebrity Apprentice? Were you cheering her on?

  • Vivica A. Fox Talks 50 Cent, Calls Him the Love of Her Life

    Vivica A. Fox–on the heels of getting fired by Donald Trump on Celebrity Apprentice–sat down with Meredith Vieira on The Meredith Vieira Show, in an episode that will air on Monday, and talked about a very special man from her past.

    Fox, of course, dated 50 Cent way back when, and they famously broke up in 2003. She admitted to Vieira, however, that he still holds a very special place in her heart.

    “He is absolutely the love of my life,” she admitted, but added that dating him was ‘difficult.’

    “I really, really cared for him and I loved him very, very much and I always will, but he just wasn’t right for me,” she said. “That’s hard when you really, really love a person in your heart, you want to be with them, but you finally have to say, ‘He’s just not right for me.’”

    Vivica A. Fox and 50 Cent dated for about a year, and when they split each talked negatively in the media about the other. These days, however, she wishes nothing but good things for the ‘My Life’ rapper.

    “I wish him the best, he is amazing and baby, he’s fine, but… sometimes love ain’t always right,” Vivica A. Fox explained to Meredith Vieira. “The heart wants what it wants, but sometimes it’s just not right.”

    Fox learned something very important during her relationship with 50 Cent, however.

    “[I learned] to trust in my heart and know to take the time not to settle,” she spilled. “I think as women sometimes we’re afraid to be alone or we think, ‘Oh my god, he’s a great catch.’”

    Vivica A. Fox makes an excellent point in this statement–something all women, whether young or old–should take note of. Not settling is among the greatest gifts a woman can give to herself. Settling inevitably leads to destruction–of one or both people in a relationship.

    Kudos to Vivica A. Fox for sharing her wise words, that likely weren’t easy to come by. She learned from experience, and that can hurt. But when the lesson is a good one, it always makes one stronger in the end.

    Will you tune in to The Meredith Vieira Show on Monday to see her entire interview with Vivica A. Fox? What else might she share about her time with 50 Cent?

  • Kate Gosselin: Does She Need to Grow A Pair?

    Kate Gosselin has long been known as a fierce mom-warrior. Just watch old episodes of Jon & Kate Plus 8, and you’ll see there’s no question that this woman has a plan, the energy to carry it out, and the voice to let anyone know if they stand in her way, they’ve had it. Ask Jon Gosselin if you have further questions.

    So what happened to Kate Monday night on Celebrity Apprentice?

    Spoiler Alert. If you didn’t watch Monday night’s episode of Celebrity Apprentice, you might want to stop reading. Right here.

    Kate Gosselin heard those infamous words spoken by Donald Trump–the ones no contestant on Celebrity Apprentice ever want to hear.

    “Kate, your fired,” the Donald told her on Monday night.

    Did she deserve to go?

    Kate hasn’t been what anyone would call a powerhouse throughout the season, but she’s been a ‘slow and steady wins the race’ kind of team player. She hasn’t succumbed to the ridiculous drama that has been all-encompassing between Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore. On Monday night, Brandi steered clear of all drama, but it ensued–this time between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox. In fact, Vivica delivered one zinger to Kenya that will no doubt go down in the books as the funniest–but true–line of the season.

    “Stop it, baby. You sittin’ over there with a badonkadonk that’s fake as hell, so don’t go there. Don’t go there. She doesn’t have them boobs done? Come on, stop that, Kenya. Sittin’ over there with a seven-pack of lashes on. Stop that,” she said.

    Kate Gosselin, meanwhile, became lost in the drama. Instead of using that time to line up her soldiers for battle with Donald Trump, she grew weary of the fight, and appeared like she hadn’t a clue about what to say to defend herself and her team–the losing team.

    The old Kate Gosselin would have raised her voice, turned red in the face, and fired back at the silliness that took place between Kenya Moore and Vivica A. Fox. Even if it had little to nothing to do with why their team lost the challenge, she could have at least tried.

    Kate appeared on the Today show on Tuesday morning–a morning-after tradition this season for those fired from the show.

    Does Kate Gosselin need to grow a pair?

    Celebrity Apprentice was filmed last fall, so in reality, Kate has long since healed since getting the boot from Donald Trump. She is also rumored to be dating a millionaire.

    Hopefully she’s dusted herself off and unearthed some of that former assertiveness that made people either really love her or really hate her. Without it, however, she just isn’t Kate Gosselin. And Kate is a force to be reckoned with.

  • Brandi Glanville Slammed by Kenya Moore With LeAnn Rimes Jab

    Brandi Glanville endured a major slam at the hands (mouth, actually) of Kenya Moore on Celebrity Apprentice on Monday night. Kenya’s slam was so low that Donald Trump even made mention of it at the time.

    The lowest of all insults in the world to Brandi Glanville is to compare her in any way with her ex’s wife, LeAnn Rimes. Moore went a step further, saying that LeAnn Rimes is ‘younger and prettier’ that Brandi Glanville.

    “I found it difficult with Brandi because she always has this way of taking personal shots with me that are unnecessary,” Kenya said during a chat with Donald Trump at the end of the team’s challenge. “I didn’t bring up LeAnn Rimes with her when I had my scene. I didn’t bring up the fact that her husband left her for a younger and prettier woman.”

    If you’re not familiar with the entire Brandi Glanville-LeAnn Rimes debacle, Kenya Moore was referring to Brandi’s ex-husband Eddie Cibrian and his new wife LeAnn Rimes, whom he reportedly got together with while he was still married to Brandi. It’s more than plain to see why this was a horrible slam, and that yes, Kenya Moore really did cross the line this time.

    Brandi Glanville and Kenya Moore have fought like children while on Celebrity Apprentice, but as each week’s contestants are sent home, these two manage to hang on for yet another week.

    Did you catch the comment that actually made Donald Trump do a double-take? This kind of mean cat fighting belongs on The Real Housewives franchise–not on Celebrity Apprentice.

    If it’s any consolation whatsoever to Brandi Glanville, however, she did learn this week that LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s VH1 reality show was cancelled. Season two of LeAnn & Eddie won’t be aired on TV. While that won’t take back the hurtful words Kenya Moore hurled at her, perhaps it will at the very least help lessen the sting.

  • Tara Reid, Ian Ziering Sign on for ‘Sharknado 3’

    Tara Reid and Ian Ziering are ready to do it again. The two have signed on for Sharknado 3, which is set to air in July 2015. The SyFy phenomenon will once again feature Tara Reid as April Wexler and Ian Ziering as Fin Shepard.

    SyFy made an official announcement about the upcoming TV movie, telling fans that Sharknado 3 will start in Washington, D.C., and “will cause mass destruction in the nation’s capital then roar down the Eastern Seaboard.”

    Time magazine reports that director Anthony C. Ferrante is back on board too. Thunder Levin is writing the script.

    The first Sharknado was about a freak hurricane that whipped deadly sharks into the air throughout Los Angeles. It became an internet sensation back in 2012 and was followed–just as successfully–by Sharknado 2: The Second One in July of 2013. The network also revealed this week that the sequel became the most watched original movie the network had ever aired. It brought in 3.9 million viewers.

    Tara Reid joked about the possibility of a Sharknado incident coming to life during an interview last summer.

    “You know, it actually can happen,” she said at the time. “I mean, the chances of it happening are very rare, but it can happen actually. Which is crazy. Not that it—the chances of it are, like, you know, it’s like probably ‘pigs could fly.’ Like, I don’t think pigs could fly, but actually sharks could be stuck in tornados. There could be a ‘sharknado.’”

    Aside from the Sharknado franchise, Tara Reid is known for roles in Saved by the Bell: The New Class, Days of Our Lives, California Dreams, and Scrubs. She shared a nude Instagram photo with her followers to ring in 2015. Ian Ziering is best known for his role as Steve Sanders on Beverly Hills, 90210. He is presently a contestant on Celebrity Apprentice.

    Will you be tuning in in July to see Tara Reid and Ian Ziering reprise their roles as April Wexler and Fin Shepard in Sharknado 3?

  • Kate Gosselin: Should She Marry Reportedly Violent Millionaire Boyfriend?

    Will Kate Gosselin marry millionaire boyfriend Jeff Prescott? Kate told E! News in a recent interview that daughter Leah, one of her sextuplets, told her she should get married again–but didn’t specifically cite Prescott as her mom’s future husband.

    Kate Gosselin admitted during that interview that yes, she has reached a place in her life where she would consider settling down again.

    “My kids still talk about it all the time. Our microwave broke like a week or so ago, and I was trying to take it out, you know, it’s like mounted into the thing, and I was trying to get it out and the kids were eating dinner and I have my screwdriver out and Leah said, ‘And this is another perfect example of why you should get married again!’” Kate shared.

    Things don’t seem to have changed much in recent months between Kate and her ex-husband Jon Gosselin. When asked what the situation between them was, she had the following to say.

    “He lives his life. I don’t talk to him. I don’t know. I don’t hear much,” she said. “Some of the kids visit him occasionally and it’s the same. [I’m] just keeping the peace. The same, no difference.”

    Kate Gosselin was reportedly first spotted out and about with Jeff Prescott this past fall, when filming for Celebrity Apprentice began. The two were seen together in New York City.

    In Touch reported earlier on Tuesday, however, that maybe Jeff Prescott isn’t the right man for Kate Gosselin. In new documents they have obtained, the publication learned that Prescott and his then-wife of 19 years went through a very messy divorce, during which she detailed his violent ways.

    “According to the document, in 2005, police came to their Barnstable, Mass., home to settle a dispute after she claimed Prescott had flown into a jealous rage. Then in 2006, Jones alleged that Prescott “threw me against a wall … put both hands around my neck and told me, ‘I will f—ing kill you,’” during a heated argument in a Tennessee hotel room,” In Touch reports.

    A source tells them that despite his messy divorce and accusations on behalf of his ex-wife, Jeff Prescott is trying to ‘make a good impression’ on Kate.

    Hopefully Kate Gosselin is well aware of her millionaire boyfriend’s past and checks things out thoroughly before even considering him as ‘the one.’ Even at daughter Leah’s insistence, she doesn’t need her microwave repaired that badly.

  • Kate Gosselin: So Who Is This Millionaire She’s Dating?

    Kate Gosselin is reportedly dating a millionaire. So who is this guy who is brave enough to date a woman (and not just any woman, either–Kate Gosselin–who is known for being very outspoken and wanting things to go her way) with eight children?

    His name is Jeff Prescott. The 51-year-old is COO and co-founder of Dreamstine, a microstock photography agency. He has three children from a previous marriage.

    “Jeff and Kate have known each other for over a year,” a source tells Us Weekly about the new romance. “They like each other.”

    “Jeff is a really, really good guy,” another source adds. “He is very respectful of Kate and her family.”

    Jeff Prescott has yet to meet Kate Gosselin’s kids–14-year-old twins Cara and Madelyn, and 10-year-old sextuplets Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah and Joel–however he reportedly bought them Christmas gifts. Now that’s a way to endear oneself to a group of teens and pre-teens. Who doesn’t enjoy gifts from a millionaire?

    Kate Gosselin was, of course, married to Jon Gosselin for ten years. The couple–and their ample brood–starred in Jon and Kate Plus 8 on TLC. Their split was far from amicable.

    “I don’t have a relationship with Kate. There is no relationship. Text and email. That’s it,” John told ET last fall about Kate Gosselin, when he explained why he wasn’t currently paying any child support for his eight kids. “[Kate and I] both support [the children] financially because she takes care of school and all that stuff, but I take care of the exact same things she takes care of. I buy their own groceries, they have their own groceries at my house, their own bedrooms, their own stuff, it’s doubled.”

    “He lives his own life,” Kate also told ET last September about the current status of their relationship. ” I’m my kids’ sole supporter, and I’m supporting them and concerned about their safety, and he lives his own life.”

    Clearly the way Kate Gosselin talks about her ex hasn’t scared Jeff Prescott away. It will be very interesting to see exactly where this relationship goes. Kate long implied that she didn’t have time for dating, unless the right man was to come along. Has he now arrived?

    Have you been watching Kate Gosselin on Celebrity Apprentice this season? One can only hope she puts more effort into her relationship with this millionaire than she puts into her tasks on the show.
