  • Josh Duggar Admits To Molesting Underage Girls, TLC Stalls On Fate Of ’19 Kids And Counting’

    Lurid accusations, parents covering up the crime, police inaction. You’d think this was the plot from another sordid soap opera but no, these apparently happened on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting.

    The reality show, which follows the Christian family as they cope with raising 19 children, has long been hounded with rumors that the eldest Duggar son had molested several young girls, including some of his sisters.

    It was a dark family secret that recently came to light when Josh admitted to the crime.

    “Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends,” the 27-year-old Josh said.

    The Duggar parents, Jim Bob and Michelle, also released their own statement admitting that their son “made some very bad mistakes” and that they “were shocked” by it.

    “We had tried to teach him right from wrong. That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before,” they added.

    But while the parents sought God, they didn’t seek professional help for their son or for their victimized daughters.

    Instead, reports show that they just sent Josh to a “Christian” program where he would allegedly receive counseling and do hard physical work.

    However, this apparently wasn’t true as matriarch Michelle admitted to police that her son never saw a counselor but was just sent “to a family friend who was in the home remodeling business.”

    Jim Bob and Michelle’s appalling lack of concern or empathy for their daughters Jana, Jill, Jessa, Jinger and Joy-Anna was quickly picked up on by viewers and fans who have expressed their support and concern for some of Josh’s alleged victims.

    The real question here is what’s to be done with Josh, his parents and the show?

    TLC has already pulled the show from its roster but hasn’t formally canceled it. It’s also been speculated that Josh will just be fired from the show.

    But why is the network even considering other options for a show where the parents have covered up for their son’s sexual misdeeds?

  • Kaitlyn Bristowe ‘Slut-Shamed’ For Having Sex On ‘The Bachelorette’

    Kaitlyn Bristowe ‘Slut-Shamed’ For Having Sex On ‘The Bachelorette’

    For a show that revolves around a person dating several men or women simultaneously, The Bachelorette viewers can be such prudes, as Kaitlyn Bristowe recently found out.

    The Vancouver native is experiencing some backlash after this season’s The Bachelorette trailer showed her candidly talking about having sex with a suitor even before the notorious “fantasy suite” episode.

    The clip showed the brunette hanging a “do not disturb” sign on her door followed by some heavy breathing.

    But Bristowe is confounded by the negative feedback she’s getting for doing something everyone does, especially since she’s an adult.

    “I’m a 30-year-old woman and I make my own decisions and intimacy to me is a part of every relationship,” she explained before adding that she doesn’t “know why everyone is so shocked by it. It’s 2015.”

    However, Bristowe was also seen expressing some remorse in the trailer when the other suitors heard about the incident.

    While she appeared tearful, the new Bachelorette says she’s not ashamed of what she did.

    “I just regret the timing. But I’m also not afraid to talk about it,” she said.

    Other Bachelor alums have rallied around the embattled Bristowe, even calling out ABC for their alleged slut-shaming of the dancer over something that regularly happens on the show.

    AshLee Frazier, who was on the 17th season of The Bachelor, admits that aside from Sean Lowe and another bachelor “they all have sex. They don’t (talk about it), and I don’t know why.”

    One person who’s probably chortling about this issue is Britt Nilsson. The deposed candidate is known to have had her claws out for Bristowe and has been “out for blood” since the beginning.

    A source even says that “instead of teaching the guys about herself, Britt spent her time in the house throwing Kaitlyn under the bus.”

    We imagine she’s doing a happy dance just about now.

  • ‘Married At First Sight’ Attracts And Repulses Viewers At The Same Time

    Marrying a total stranger is a bad idea. Marrying one on television sounds even worse, but that’s what Married at First Sight is all about.

    The Australian reality show, which is based on a Danish show of the same name, revolves around 4 couples who agreed to get married on the first day that they will meet. The pairs, which were matched by three experts, will spend their wedding night in a hotel before heading off on their honeymoon. They will live together for a month, after which they will choose whether to stay together or get divorced.

    The show’s first episode has already aired to mixed reactions. A majority of viewers lambasted the show, calling it an “insult to marriage” while others think of it as a new low standard for reality shows.

    But despite the negative reactions, there are those who found the show to be their new guilty pleasure and have already started rooting for one of the couples.

    While the show’s premise can be off-putting for some who think it disregards the sanctity of marriage, the first episode was compelling in its raw honesty and refreshing with its realism.

    In the first episode, audiences were introduced to couples Clare and Lachlan and Michael and Roni. While Michael and Roni seem to start out well, it was the opposite for Clare and Lachlan.

    Clare Tamas, a 37-year-old marketing manager, was seen having a panic attack at the idea of marrying Lachlan, a sensitive and soft-spoken farmer.

    The bride seems standoffish at first and even avoided looking at her new husband. But her feelings seem to have melted during the reception when Lachlan gave a heartrending speech about his late father.

    “Lachlan’s speech moved me,” Clare admitted. “I didn’t expect a guy to be so open, honest and willing to commit so it’s now made me want to drop any barriers or inhibitions I had in place.”

    The slow and reluctant start to their marriage has certainly made viewers want to see what will happen next.

  • Kandi Burruss: Drama Ensues On Family Ski Trip To Colarado

    Everyone has horror stories of their family vacations. Kandi Burruss had hers caught on camera.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta mainstay and her husband Todd Tucker went on a vacation with their families in an effort to mend relationships and get their families closer. While their intentions were good, not everyone saw it that way.

    And all the ensuing drama can be seen on Kandi’s three-part spinoff The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi’s Ski Trip.

    In an exclusive statement, Todd mentioned the need to fix strained relationships, particularly in light of his mother’s passing.

    “We’ve never had Kandi and my family under the same roof so it was an interesting experiment with lots of unexpected moments,” he concluded.

    A clip from the show highlighted one such unexpected moment when Kandi’s aunt expressed their displeasure over their living accommodations at Bella Vista Estate ski resort in Colorado.

    Aunt Bertha was very vocal and told her niece that she’s mad because she was placed in the back while Kandi, Todd and her Mama Joyce had the front house.

    Another aunt, Nora, also chimed in and complained “that’s about twelve steps we gotta go up and down every time we come down over here.”

    “I’m the oldest somebody in here and I think I should have been considered in some kind of way,” she added.

    Fortunately, the 39-year-old Kandi didn’t have to worry about her Mama Joyce and her husband being at each other’s throats in such close quarters as her mom was surprisingly nice to Todd (probably because he just lost his mom).

    “She was there for him and was better to him, so their relationship was pretty cool,” she shared.

    It’s still unclear whether Kandi and Todd accomplished what they set out to do on this trip or if it made things worse.

  • Amazon Is Dropping Crappy Reality Shows from Prime Instant Video

    Amazon Is Dropping Crappy Reality Shows from Prime Instant Video

    It could be because it wants to really go after Netflix in the original content game. It could be because it just thinks that type of TV sucks. Either way, Amazon has reportedly decided to ditch some reality programming.

    Bloomberg quotes the ubiquitous “people with knowledge on the matter” who say that Amazon is working to drop shows like Teen Mom and Mob Wives from its Prime Instant Video offerings.

    Amazon currently has a deal with Viacom, whose networks air said reality shows. Amazon is apparently looking to keep a deal in place with Viacom to still offer many if its shows – just not some of the lagging reality titles. Apparently, Amazon just has reality show fatigue:

    Viacom isn’t the only programmer grappling with shrinking audiences for reality TV. Amazon this year also declined to renew a deal with A+E Networks, which supplied “Pawn Stars” and “Storage Wars,” the people said. Some of the Viacom shows are still in production. The shrinking value of reality shows may have contributed to the $785 million charge Viacom took last quarter, said David Bank, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets.

    Amazon looks to be taking notes from Netflix, who ditched Viacom in 2013. “Netflix at the time said that it had little desire to pay Viacom’s fees for ‘nonexclusive bulk content.’ Netflix also said that it would be willing to pay for select titles, but not Viacom’s entire library,” says CNET.

    Through Teen Mom does really, really suck, Amazon’s move is pure business. If they don’t have to pay Viacom for Teen Mom, it can spend the money it saves on more original programming to battle Netflix, HBO, and other big-name original series-producing entities. Not only that, but reality TV ain’t what it used to be.

  • Sonja Morgan Apparently Needs A ‘Snatch Guard’ And A New Attitude, Wreaks Havoc At Birthday Bash

    What was supposed to be Ramona Singer’s birthday bash turned out to be all about Sonja Morgan’s drama in the latest episode of the Real Housewives of New York.

    The sniping and catfights started even before the housewives left for Atlantic City, with Heather Thomson calling Sonja a “f***ing bitch” for refusing to let her, Kristen Taekman and Dorinda Medley in her house even though it was raining.

    The situation didn’t improve much when the ladies were finally in the limo on their way to the Borgata Hotel. The bickering got so bad that the birthday girl got fed up and screamed at them all to “sit here and shut the f**k up all of you. This is my birthday weekend, I’ve had enough stress with my life!”

    Carole Radziwill and LuAnn de Lesseps joined them at the hotel and from that point on the drama and bitchiness escalated. Bethenny Frankel brought the already tipsy Sonja to tears within a few minutes of starting dinner while poor LuAnn became Sonja’s designated “snatch guard” when they went dancing later.

    “OMG, keep your legs together woman,” LuAnn wrote in her Bravo blog about Sonja’s tendency to flash her private parts when she’s drunk.

    “Unfortunately, my hands were not large enough to keep the crowd from getting an eyeful,” she added.

    If LuAnn was the snatch guard, Dorinda was unofficially tasked with getting Sonja to bed, a feat that she amazingly accomplished without blowing up on Lady Morgan.

    Surprisingly, Bethenny tried to have a little heart to heart talk with Sonja the following morning, telling her that the pills she’s taking for stress and anxiety don’t work well with alcohol.

    “You have to take care of yourself because it’s coming out. It needs to be fixed and I will help you,” Bethenny promised.

    Unfortunately, Sonja doesn’t appear too keen on taking Bethenny up on her offer of help.

  • Kandi Burruss Talks About The Two-Week Rule That’s Keeping Her Marriage Alive

    Making a marriage work is hard enough, but it’s a thousand times harder when your every move and decision is caught on camera and broadcasted to thousands of viewers.

    It’s a situation that Kandi Burruss and husband Todd Tucker understand only too well, but the couple seems to have finally found a nice compromise that will help their marriage.

    Fans of the Real Housewives of Atlanta know the struggles the couple faced during their first year of marriage.

    Aside from all the little adjustments that all newlyweds face, Kandi and Todd also had to deal with busy work schedules and their desire to have a baby.

    Todd dividing his time between home and his job on the West Coast caused numerous arguments, with Kandi expressing her fear several times that he was cheating on her. At one point, Kandi even suggested that they try marriage counseling to help deal with their issues.

    But despite their volatile first year as man and wife, Kandi and Todd stuck it out and appear to have found a way to keep their marriage going.

    What’s their plan? Never spend more than two weeks apart.

    The couple shared their new rule during an appearance on The Dr. Oz Show. According to Kandi, they agreed that they cannot be away from each other for more than 2 weeks.

    “It’s mandatory,” she told Dr. Oz. “One of us has to figure out how to get to the other within the two weeks.”

    The idea is a sound one. Studies have shown that while spending some time apart is beneficial to couples, spending quality time together is also necessary to form a bond that will get you through the ups and downs of life. There has to be a good balance between the two.

    It seems that things are finally looking up for the couple and they’re now focusing on bigger and better things, like an addition to their family as well as a reality TV spinoff.

  • Cynthia Bailey And NeNe Leakes ‘Will Never Be Friends Like That Ever Again’

    Best friends turned mortal enemies Cynthia Bailey and NeNe Leakes were at each other’s throats again during the reunion special of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

    In the final episode of the 4 part reunion special, Bailey accused her former BFF of trying to get her fired from the show when their friendship fell apart after Season 6.

    “I would never do that to you,” Bailey told Leakes. “I would never try to take food off your table.”

    Leakes denied the claim and said that Bailey made the whole thing up, prompting a fresh round of arguments between the two. It probably didn’t help matters that Kandi Burruss dipped her toe in when she backed up Bailey.

    But even though the relationship between Bailey and her erstwhile friend took on such an acrimonious turn, she still showed some regard for Leakes when she broke down during a group discussion with therapist Dr. Jeff.

    The usually strong Leakes’ got emotional and walked out of the discussion when Dr. Jeff brought up her turbulent past and her relationship with her parents, particularly her mother.

    Bailey was one of the first to hug and comfort her.

    She later wrote in her Bravo TV blog that her natural reaction was to comfort Leakes.

    “I had no idea how I would be received or what I would say to her, but my heart said go after her, and I did,” she wrote. “NeNe and I were friends. Regardless of what the status of that friendship was during the reunion, I never want to see her hurt.”

    Some fans are hoping that Bailey’s show of support might be enough to prompt the two to bury the hatchet, but that’s unlikely to happen.

    In a recent interview she gave at The Meredith Vieira Show, Leakes admitted that while she initially missed Bailey’s friendship they “will never be friends like that ever again.”

    “I don’t wish her any harm. I actually wish her the best,” she added. “We just will never be friends again.”

  • Jill Duggar Dillard Blown Away by Mother’s Day

    Jill Duggar had big plans for Mother’s Day. But what really blew her away was the enormous difference between last Mother’s Day and this one.

    “It is so crazy that last Mother’s Day, I wasn’t even married,” Jill Duggar told People. “And now I’m a mom. It is still surreal to me that I’m a mother.”

    Coming out of the mouth of many women, that might sound like an admission of a fast lifestyle. But Jill Duggar is one of the many stars of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting, married her beau Derick (heh) and kissed him for the first time in June of last year.

    Ahead of the plans for the day, Jill Duggar said she was planning on spending the Sunday holiday in quite typical Duggar fashion: at church.

    “I’m sure it will be fun. First, Israel will be dedicated at our church, which is just an outward statement where we say we want to raise our child to love God and the church supports us in that. Then, we’ll spend time with Derick’s mom and his family and we may get to see my family, too.”

    Jill Duggar is trained as a midwife. Her experiences there, as well as her own personal experience now as a mother, has given her an even deeper opinion about parenting than she was raised with.

    “I am so blessed to be a mother,” she says. “There are a lot of ladies who would love to be and can’t. My heroes are my mom, my grandmother, Derick’s mom and those people who have been mothers for a while. I just pray I can be like them, Godly mothers who are loving and always caring for others.”

    If tabloid stories are to be believed, it is only those mothers who “properly” conceive their babies within wedlock that get the high opinion of the Duggar clan. The Daily Mail reported that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar forbade Jill from helping a cousin who was pregnant because the woman had conceived the baby without being married.

  • Teresa Giudice Won’t Get Out Of Prison Early, Still Acting Like A Diva

    It appears that Teresa Giudice will have to serve the entirety of her 15-month sentence for fraud, and it’s all thanks for her husband Joe.

    The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was expecting to be released from Danbury Connecticut correctional facility in time for the holiday season because she and her husband had a deal on the table.

    But a source says that the deal has gone sour and it was all Joe’s fault.

    “He met with the feds and the whole thing fell apart during those meetings because of the things he said,” the source explained. “So now the deal is off the table. [Teresa] is going to be sitting in prison for the rest of her sentence.”

    However, if reports from some inmates are to be believed, Teresa isn’t having such a terrible time in prison anyway.

    A former inmate at the facility has claimed that “Teresa’s a diva” and that the Real Housewife is getting special treatment.

    “Just the way she got her job, that’s definitely diva treatment,” the ex-inmate says. “She wipes tables three days a week and it’s maybe for 15-20 minutes a shift. She had that job before she came in, and that’s hard to get. Why should she get that when people are outside shoveling snow?”

    Good question.

    She is also allegedly getting preferential treatment when it comes to meals and visitors.

    Her own husband Joe also inadvertently alluded to the cushy life that his wife is living while serving time for wire and bank fraud.

    In an Extra interview aired last month, the businessman talked about having been made to wait for an hour while Teresa did her hair.

    He also described the 42-year-old mother as having “a little group she hangs out with and does her thing with every day.”

    The Italian-born Joe will be serving his own 41-month sentence for fraud once Teresa is released.

  • Farrah Abraham Makes Explosive Comeback On ‘Teen Mom OG’

    It has finally happened. Everyone’s revered and reviled teen mom is back.

    Farrah Abraham finally made an appearance in the last 10 minutes of Teen Mom OG and in typical Farrah fashion, she brought some major drama with her.

    The Teen Mom original was dropped by MTV when the other moms didn’t want to work with her. But producers asked her to return midway through the season. And after some hemming and hawing, the erstwhile porn princess has decided to return.

    But not gracefully, it would seem.

    When the show’s producers and camera men arrived at her house, Farrah was frosty and barely civil. And when Heather, one of the producers, prodded her to shoot an intro segment explaining why she returned to the show, Farrah went off to sulk and cry.

    “I was dropped a year ago, then apparently now I’m not so crazy and it’s okay that I’m back on TV,” she ranted. “I’m just over being judged and I guess I don’t want to talk about that.

    The rest of her segment consisted of her sniping at her mom for talking with Heather (“I don’t even like that you’re having a fake, wannabe happy conversation”), throwing some shade at the crew (“I don’t care if you guys are here or not”) and being snarky at another producer who wanted her to share her feelings about being booted out of the series (“I already went to counseling for it. I’m not going to talk about it anymore.”)

    The explosive breakdown seems to have eclipsed other things that happened on Teen Mom OG, like Amber flying into a rage again because of Gary’s shenanigans or Maci telling her tantrum-prone ex about her pregnancy. Or even Catelyn and Tyler’s visiting their daughter Carly and having that tense conversation with her adoptive parents.

  • Kris Jenner’s Daughter Kylie Is Moving Out, They Can’t Stand Each Other

    Ah, the trials and tribulations of motherhood. It’s refreshing to see that not even Kris Jenner can escape teenage angst.

    Despite raising 5 other children, the infamous TV mom still can’t get a handle on how to deal with her 17-year-old daughter Kylie.

    “It’s been two weeks since Kylie and I have had a real, true conversation, and it’s heartbreaking to me,” the embattled mom admitted in a previous episode. “I try to spend time with each one of my kids individually, and my grandkids but recently Kylie has been making this really tough.”

    And like any mom with teenagers, Kris mused if it’s really just the age that’s making her daughter act out.

    In an attempt to patch things up, the 59-year-old mother asked her daughter to come with her to visit her grandmother. As expected, the teenager didn’t find the idea too appealing and basically had to be ordered to go.

    While Kris is struggling with Kylie, her ex-husband Bruce Jenner is also doing his best to smooth things out with his volatile daughter.

    Admitting that mother-daughter relationships can indeed be difficult at that age, the Olympian reminded Kylie that she still has his support and he’s there “to cheer you up or keep you on a positive note.”

    The planned outing did push through in this week’s show, despite Kylie being sulky all throughout the drive to her grandmother’s place.

    However, it wouldn’t be a Keeping up with the Kardashians episode if no bombs were dropped. And this time around, it came in Kylie’s quiet and casual declaration that she’ll be moving out “as soon” as she turns 18.

    That news is another thing that Kris would have to deal with but in the meantime, the mother-daughter duo did get some bonding time in at an amusement park.

    Now we just have to wait for the next episodes to see how long this truce will last.

  • Kim Zolciak And NeNe Leakes Go On The Road To Riches For New Reality TV Spin-Off

    Kim Zolciak is done with the drama, and so is her on-cam frenemy Nene Leakes.

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta stars will take on a new and more exciting adventure as they take a road trip across America to discover the roads to riches.

    In a statement released by Bravo on Moday, the network revealed that the two famous housewives will executive produce, collaborate and star in their own forthcoming reality TV show where they will be followed by cameras across the country during their epic road trip.

    Kim Zolciak Teams Up With NeNe Leakes For New Reality Show

    “Atlanta’s ‘most driven’ Housewives … drive out of their comfort zones and across the country to discover America on a one-of-a-kind adventure,” the statement said.

    “The road to L.A. may be paved with good intentions, but that doesn’t mean they won’t occasionally drive each other crazy.”

    “We are excited to launch these new unscripted and scripted series and believe the new slate will deliver the same high-quality and viewing benefits, but with a broader lens to drive even more ‘affluencers’ to view as well as engage socially,” said Frances Berwick, president of lifestyle networks for NBC Universal Cable Entertainment.

    Both ladies announced the good news on social media. In her Instagram post where Zolciak Biermann poses in a black frock alongside Leaks,  she excitedly says, “It’s OFFICIAL!!! My girl @neneleakes and I are doing a show together! We are in NYC today together and made the BIG announcement!! We are so excited for ” Road to Riches”

    Leaks thanked Bravo with her post, captioned, “IT’S OFFICIALLY @kimzolciakbiermann and I have our own spin off show only on #BRAVO! We announced it today in New York City with our entire Bravo & True Entertainment family. Thank you for believing in us

  • Farrah Abraham Makes ‘Awkward’ Return To MTV As ‘Teen Mom OG’

    What could be more awkward than being a teen mom turned adult film protégé? Farrah Abraham might just be able to tell you.

    The 23-year-old came to fame appearing in four seasons of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant with co-stars Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood. After alienating her peers and proving she can make “decent” sex tapes, Vergara left the show in 2013 to pursue a career in adult entertainment

    Now all grown up and with more than a few dollars tucked in her undies, Abraham rejoins her peers in the MTV show’s upcoming season of Teen Mom OG.

    “It was a little bit awkward for me, and I tried to work with them the best that I could,” Vergara said when asked about MTV’s surprise call. “I was just a little bit reluctant because of the progress I made while I was not on the show.”

    Abraham also says she thinks, “it’s good to be back for [daughter] Sophia’s sake and showing how our lives are to help others.”

    MTV invited Abraham to “complete” the cast as it felt that “something (or, in this case, someone) was missing” in the production. The call happened mid-taping of the show, which stirred up the cast. Bookout, Lowell and Portwood were not happy as they did not expect nor want to work with Abraham because of her life choices.

    “I’m not going to lie and say I was happy about it. But, I mean, it’s something that I guess people will just have to watch on the show. And it has nothing to personally do with Farrah at all. I have no hard feelings towards her whatsoever,” Bookout said in an interview with Us Weekly.

    Teen Mom OG will air on March 23 on MTV.

  • Stassi Schroeder’s Sex Tape Sparks ‘Epic Argument’ During Vanderpump Rules Reunion

    Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder seems to be itching to tell off “frenemy” Scheana Marie Jancan for spreading rumors about a masturbation video she made.

    During the second part of the taping of Vanderpump Rules reunion episode, Schroeder and Jancan had an “epic argument” and Schroeder felt compelled to address the tell-tales. She admitted to making her own self-pleasure video which she sent to a male friend “a couple of years ago”.

    End of story, not.

    Talk about airing your own dirty laundry. Schroeder clearly did not like other people twisting her panties, so she decided to do it herself.

    Schroeder’s sex tape was allegedly sent to several media outlets. She accused 29-year-old Jancan of leading a group of “frenemies” in distributing the video.

    Although assumed to be widely circulated, Schroeder’s filmed masturbation never surfaced for public consumption. All she had to do is keep quit about the video and let the rumors die its natural death.

    TMZ reports that Bravo honcho Andy Cohen was speechless when he heard the starlets’ not-so-little secret.

    “Would I be surprised if she left? No. Things did not go smoothly during the reunion taping. I think she was kind of done,” Andy Cohen said during an episode of Ask Andy.

    Fashion blogger Schroeder has been a cast member of Vanderpump Rules since its premier in 2013. She began a romantic relationship with radio host Patrick Meagher after contacting the sports program presenter on Twitter. She then moved to New York to be with her boyfriend at the end of Season 2.

    Schroeder traveled back to LA for Vanderpump Rules Season 3 but had fewer appearances on the show. However, she made her presence felt by getting into heated arguments with other cast members.

    Vanderpump Rules reunion episode will hit TV screens on Monday night.

  • Whitney Bischoff: You Gotta See Her Engagement Ring!

    In the March 10 finale of The Bachelor, Chris Soules picked Whitney Bischoff and proposed to her. Not only did Soules and Bischoff find each other, they’ve also found fame as the latest couple to fall in love on national TV. Speaking with the Associated Press, the couple said that the experience of finding your soul mate in a reality show may not be normal, but they said that they’re making it as normal as possible for themselves. They’re looking forward to a lot of stuff, mainly their upcoming wedding as well as all the commitments that come with being The Bachelor contestants.

    Watching the finale, it’s pretty clear why Bischoff said yes to Soules. The farmer proposed to Bischoff in a barn at the home where he grew up in. And if you’re thinking that a barn proposal isn’t romantic, think again. With the romantic lighting as well as the stunning engagement ring, it was a proposal to remember. However, Soules did admit that he was torn between Bischoff and 26-year-old chiropractic assistant, Becca Tilley. At least until the final moments. Tilley revealed in several interviews that she didn’t really fall in love with Soules because they were never able to spend a lot of time together during the show.

    So it looks like Soules made the right decision by picking Bischoff. He also made the right choice with the ring that he gave her. The ring, a massive emerald-cut Neil Lane engagement ring, looked absolutely beautiful. The platinum and diamond ring reportedly weighs four carats and features an emerald-cut center stone. The stone is surrounded by a halo made up of round diamonds.

    The extremely detailed ring reportedly costs just under $100,000, so if you’re planning on proposing to your loved one with a ring like that, it’s best you start saving your money.

  • Kandi Burruss Now Has Beef With Phaedra Parks?

    The Real Housewives of Atlanta is no stranger to feuds. In fact, every episode focuses on the girls fighting and then trying to make up. And while it looks like the show is split into two camps with NeNe, Phaedra, Porsha on one side and Claudia, Kenya, and Cynthia on the other, one cast member seems to be caught in the middle of it all. Kandi Burruss is not only caught between the other cast members’ feuds, she’s also facing problems of her own. Her musical, A Mother’s Love, failed to take off, and on top of that, she’s also fighting with her mom.

    “Mom and I had been arguing a lot at that time, and I just felt that she never accepted any responsibility for being wrong. She always finds a way to make me the bad guy,” Burruss told BravoTV about her feud with her mother. “When she said I’ve changed and that I’m not there for my family, I was too through!” For Burruss, the reason why she doesn’t visit her mother is because she wants to avoid all the negativity. Because being in the middle of feuding reality TV stars is grueling enough as it is.

    In the same interview, Burruss also opened up about Phaedra Parks. Parks thinks that Kandi is siding with Apollo because he is good friends with Kandi’s husband, Todd. “I didn’t even know Phaedra had a problem with me like that,” Burruss said in the interview. “I have argued with Todd defending Phaedra. I have defended Phaedra when Apollo came around talking B.S. to everyone about their relationship. There have been plenty of times that I have taken up for Phaedra. No one can say that I have taken anybody’s side against her.”

    Despite the countless times the group attempted to make peace with each other, it looks like the fighting will never stop until they stop talking behind each other’s backs.

  • Farrah Abraham To Return On “Teen Mom OG”, But Don’t Worry, She Won’t Be On Every Episode

    Farrah Abraham made a surprise return announcement via the trailer for the new show, Teen Mom OG.

    The original three teen moms that were going to be on the show, Maci Bookout, Catelynn Lowell and Amber Portwood, thought that she wouldn’t be on the new show, and they were shocked (and angry) that Farrah Abraham was being brought back on.

    “It’s not about Farrah,” Maci Bookout, who was rumored to possibly be leaving the show after Farrah Abraham’s reappearance, said. “I’m not mad at her, I don’t judge her — nothing like that. But there’s also a fine line with what I find appropriate and I just don’t think it’s appropriate for my 6-year-old son to be involved with some of the things Farrah is involved in.”

    Catelynn Lowell have a similar reaction.

    “At first, for a little bit, we were kind of okay with it,” Lowell said of Farrah Abraham’s participation on the show. “Until we really sat down about it and were like, ‘Um, we don’t know how good this is for the moral compass of the show.’ Like, we are trying to educate girls about good things, not so much the sex industry part.”

    Executive Producer Morgan J. Freeman cleared up some things about the first season of Teen Mom OG. He revealed that Farrah Abraham isn’t in the first episode of the show, and she won’t be a regular, either.

    He said of Farrah Abraham’s story line, “[Her mother] Debra has been living in Seattle. She starts to sniff around to see if she can move to Austin. Her dad Michael lives there. Farrah definitely has some feelings about that. You definitely get reacquainted with the entire family. Farrah does a lot of traveling. She does meet somebody. I’ll leave that there.”

  • Dorinda Medley Expected To Bring More Drama To ‘The Real Housewives Of New York’

    New York socialite Dorinda Medley will be joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York. The new season of The Real Housewives of New York is set to premiere on April 7 and promises more drama and more excitement with the inclusion of Medley in the cast. Medley had the opportunity to join the reality show with the help of her friends, cast members Ramona Singer and Countess Luann De Lesseps.

    “I live on the Upper East Side, and it’s a small fishbowl up here. I am not going to be that ball of yarn that came out of nowhere,” the 50-year-old Medley told the NY Post. “I know these girls. I know their world. I’ve even done a few cameos. So I thought, why not give it a try and see if it is something that suits me?”

    In the late ‘80s, Medley married a Scotsman and moved to London. She started a cashmere company that became a favorite of the late Princess Diana. “It was 1989. I got Princess Diana to be one of my clients, and project [the company] forward with the British classes,” Medley said. After 10 years in London, she got divorced and moved back to New York.

    Medley ventured into the realm of real estate. She met her second husband, Richard Medley, after she sold him an Upper East Side townhouse. Richard passed away in 2011. “I’ve been presented with a lot of different challenges and that’s why I wasn’t afraid to be on the ‘Housewives.’ The whole point is to keep going foward and try again,” Medley says.

    In the same interview, Medley reveals that she knows how to handle the drama that comes along with being in a reality show. “I like to see a good argument between two people. I think you learn when you argue,” she says. “It’s just an expression of your opinion.”

     

  • Kris Jenner Humiliated By Rumors That Her Marriage To Bruce Jenner Was Fake

    The recent news about Bruce Jenner’s transition from man to becoming a woman has brought great stress to hardworking momager, Kris Jenner. Sources are saying that Kris feels that everyone is laughing at her situation, bringing her spirits more down than ever.

    Last week, Bruce’s mother Esther Jenner went public about the transition and his decision is heartbreaking for Kris. “Kris still maintains that they had a great marriage for a long time and it breaks her heart that people must now think that the whole thing was a sham,” a close friend said.

    Kris married the former Olympian back in April 1991 and the couple had two daughters together. The two eventually announced their separation back in October 2013 and the divorce is slated to be finalized next month.

    Reports are saying that Kris is still in “complete denial” over Bruce’s decision to transition. “She doesn’t talk about it at all and refuses to knowledge it,” a source told Us Weekly. Bruce now reportedly wears women’s clothing and goes by a new female name that Kris refuses to use.

    In her exclusive interview with LOVE Magazine, Kris talked about the split saying that she remains good friends with Bruce. “In life, you realize on some level that you’re happier living apart that you are together and that’s what happened with us. We just grew apart.” When asked about the transitioning rumors, the feisty 59-year-old simply replied, “I’m not even answering that. It’s just dumb.”

    Bruce remains silent about the rumors that are surrounding him. All is believed to be revealed in the premiere of his upcoming docu-series that would chronicle his journey from man to woman. Over the weekend, he was involved in a fatal car crash in Los Angeles that killed one motorist after the paparazzi allegedly chased him. The LA County Sheriff’s Department however is saying that there’s no indication that the paparazzi was involved in the crash.

  • “19 Kids And Counting”: New Season Focus On Dillards

    19 Kids and Counting will be starting the new season on February 17th.

    According to the Duggar family blog, the new season will have a lot of focus on Jill and Derick Dillard.

    The Dillards are still sort of newlyweds and are getting ready for their first child, a boy, due in March.

    They reportedly have some home videos of their life and Jill Dillard’s pregnancy to share on the new season of 19 Kids and Counting.

    In the preview, shared by People, Derick and Jill Dillard practice their parenting skills by hosting a fondue and tea princess party for Jill’s little sisters.

    Derick Dillard brushes up on his nail painting skills, which he probably won’t need since he’s having a boy. But they may come in handy should consecutive Dillard babies be girls.

    “It was a lot of fun,” Derick said while talking about the sleepover later.

    His wife, Jill, seemed thrilled that her husband was having such a good time with her sisters and getting plenty of Daddy practice.

    She said, “Derick is doing great. He’s really good with kids.”

    The new season of 19 Kids and Counting will also feature Jessa Duggar’s wedding to Ben Seewald.

    There will be plenty of glimpses into their lives as newlyweds.

    Of course, there has been speculation that there might be a Jana Duggar courtship this season, but that seems unlikely.

    Jana has already been falsely linked to Tim Tebow and possibly linked to Bringing Up Bates star Zach Bates. However, she doesn’t seem to be in a serious relationship right now.

    Besides, they already have enough going on to fill a season of 19 Kids and Counting!
