• Amanda Bynes's Parents Are Surrendering Conservatorship, Then Moving To Texas To Escape The Dysfunction

    The family struggle for control over Amanda Bynes's well-being seems to be coming to a screeching halt this week, as her parents are headed back to court once again. This time it will be different, though. Rather than fighting for conservatorship, they are instead ready to transfer everything over to someone else.According to a report by TMZ, Bynes's parents will be filing documents with the court soon to surrender the conservatorship over to a mental health professional. Bynes's finances will likely then be placed in the hands of an official money manager. After fighting with their daughter for years, it seems her parents are conceding that they cannot effectively help her at this point. They are hoping that if control is placed in the hands of someone else, then Bynes will perhaps stop lashing out so viciously and start to listen.Not only are her parents kind of washing their hands of the dysfunction, but they are also leaving California altogether. After a few years of drama, they are said to be ready to move to Texas to be near their older — and likely saner —daughter instead.

  • 'RHOBH's' Star Kylie Richards' Reeling after Her Sister Kim Richards' Dog Viciously Attacked Her Daughter, Alexia Umansky

In between juggling a large family and a few businesses Kyle has made it a priority to keep tabs on Kim, who has struggled with substance abuse. Kim basically has used her animals as a form of therapy but in recent weeks there have been rumors that she might have slipped off the wagon again. If so, things would likely have been already strained last Saturday when Kim's dog went crazy on Kyle's 18-year old daughter, Alexia Umansky.

  • Dean McDermott Refuses to Keep 'Opening Up a Vein' and Bleeding on 'True Tori' Just to Collect a Paycheck

    If you have tuned in for any of Tori Spelling's second season of "True Tori," which is currently airing on Lifetime, then you already know it feels like a desperate last ditch grab for attention. Unfortunately, Spelling was hoping that by airing her dirty laundry and allowing cameras to film her therapy sessions with cheating husband, Dean McDermott, she would somehow emerge looking like a tower of strength. Instead she comes across more like an overly dramatic mess with a not-so-secret hoarding problem. The ratings are dismal and now even McDermott says that he is done selling his soul just to pay the bills.

  • 'General Hospital' Star Kimberly McCullough to Direct New Disney Channel Series 'KC Undercover' Starring Zendaya

    When Kimberly McCullough left her role as Robin Scorpio on "General Hospital" earlier this year, the actress said she wanted to branch out and focus on working on the other side of the camera as a director. McCullough took part in ABC's 2012-14 Directing Program, and it was just announced that she has landed her first real directing gig. McCullough will be directing an upcoming episode of "KC Undercover," Disney Channel's new comedy starring Zendaya Coleman.McCullough announced the news via her official Twitter and, ironically enough, she is not the only veteran soap star to decide to leave a plum acting job in favor of working behind the scenes. Allison Sweeney's final scenes as Sami Brady on "Days of Our Lives" aired last week, and after 22 years in character she, too, is excited to direct.

  • Virgin Galactic Pilot Peter Siebold Defied the Odds by Surviving a Disintegrating Rocket at 50,000 Feet

    When Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo broke apart shortly after breaking the sound barrier last week, it was unimaginable that either pilot would somehow escape the wreckage. Peter Siebold and Michael Alsbury were both still strapped into their seats as the rocket disintegrated around them. Siebold somehow managed to eject from the ship and basically had to run on instincts to get himself back on solid ground.The "Los Angeles Times" breaks down exactly what Siebold was up against and how amazing it is that he survived rather than die, as Alsbury did. First we need to understand that these men could have been as high as an estimated 50,000 feet above Earth when things turned bad. That means that when Siebold began his fall his body was tumbling through temperatures of around 70 degrees below zero and the air is so thin he likely was unable to either inhale or exhale. Siebold also was not wearing a space suit to protect him from the lethal conditions.

  • Will Pippa Middleton Become the Newest 'Today Show' Correspondent?

    Apparently, Pippa Middleton made such an impression on NBC after sitting for an interview last summer that the network has been courting her for a job. Kate Middleton's younger sister taped an interview with Matt Lauer for "The Today Show" that aired in June and the ratings were spectacular. The numbers confirmed what the network had already known: Americans love royals, even if they are only a married-in extension of the monarchy. Kate's marriage to Prince William has caused enormous interest in Pippa and NBC is hopeful that they will be able to add her as a new correspondent to Today.According to a new report by Page Six, Pippa has been working on a test piece in Utah and, if all goes well, then it will sign her to do special reports on subjects like health and fitness.

  • While the Republican Party Swept the Midterms, the Political Canvas Will Likely Swing Toward the Democrats in 2016

    The Republican Party was hopeful heading into yesterday's midterm election — with good reason. President Barack Obama's approval rating has hit an all-time low with even those who voted him into a second term often wondering if it was a mistake. Americans tend to favor making big, sweeping changes, and by late last night, as the numbers across the country were tallied, the Republican sweep was being referred to as a "wave."The GOP was able to seize control of the U.S. Senate by picking up at least seven seats previously held by Democrats, a wishful goal that had previously eluded them since 2006. The Republican Party also won 13 U.S. House of Representatives races, expanding its already sizable majority to at least 241 seats. That is the most seats the party has held since the days of President Herbert Hoover. The number of Republican governors will also greatly outnumber that of Democrats when Inauguration Day rolls around. People wanted change, and for now they will have it.Here's the thing: Since Americans like change so much, and it is going to take more than two years for our nation to feel different, there is a good chance that for every seat a Republican flipped last night, a Democrat will flip it back in 2016. Basically, the GOP has two years to pull off a miracle or people's rallying for change will actually put the Democrats in great shape for having serious control.
