• 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Sues Bankruptcy Attorney James Kridel, Blames Him for Jail Sentence

    Remember how Teresa Giudice stood before the judge in open court in early October and said she was ready to take full responsibility for her bad business decisions that resulted in her and husband Joe Giudice defrauding just about every business partner they have had in the last several years? Well, scratch that because it looks like Teresa was more interested in saying the right thing in the hopes of getting out of a prison stint. It did not work, as "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is expected to turn herself in to begin serving 15 months Jan. 5, but she has decided to play the blame game before she goes away.Teresa has filed a $5 million lawsuit against her bankruptcy attorney James Kridel, basically blaming his ineptness for her being sentenced to prison. A list of assets had been requested by the court, and while it was submitted — late — it was also missing numerous things, such as property and luxury items owned by the Giudices. When they arrived for sentencing in October, they were vilified for not reporting everything and concealing assets right up to the end, which may have been the thing that prompted the judge to throw the proverbial book at Teresa.It is also a convenient way for the reality star to shift the blame onto someone other than herself, and that is exactly what she is attempting to do with Kridel. Plus, she is now broke and still has to pay back more than $200,000 in restitution as part of her sentencing, so Teresa is really desperate to generate cash flow from wherever she can, and she knows that her options are limited.
  • Soap Star Eileen Davidson Finally Made Her Much-Anticipated Debut on 'RHOBH'

    Bravo has been pretty smart in the way it has handled the newest season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." It purposely added two soap stars to the cast — Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson — but they spaced out their debuts, probably for maximum affect. Rinna was in on the action with the rest of the cast right from the season premiere, but it waited until the third episode for Davidson's debut.While nothing too traumatic went down last night, Dec. 2, between Davidson and anyone else, we already know from the trailer that she and Rinna have at least one glass-throwing incident and they are not exactly the best of friends at all. They crossed paths years ago on "Days of Our Lives" and clearly never gelled. It is pretty obvious already that Bravo is expecting Davidson to cause some friction among the ladies, and that seems to be a role she is already comfortable playing.
  • Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi Celebrate Tenth Anniversary with Makeup-Free Selfies

    In spite of being dogged by rumors of there being trouble in paradise, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres just celebrated their 10th anniversary yesterday, Dec. 1. That is a pretty big accomplishment for any couple, let alone one that has been rumored to have muddled through addiction, infidelity and trust issues in just the last six months alone! Of course, there have been moments here and there when the couple has swung back, insisting that all is well between them, but the media has a way of clouding things.What we are sure of is the fact that de Rossi posted photos with her wife on her Twitter account this past weekend, and the two could not have looked happier. Sure, they know how to play for the cameras, but it looks like there is a real connection between them again, and the makeup-free selfie might just be one of the best candid shots of them ever.
  • Speculation that Rosie O'Donnell Will Be Fired from 'The View' Intensifies

    We have already told you guys that there are major problems going on over at ABC's "The View," and while a lot of finger-pointing is going on, Rosie O'Donnell is inevitably in the middle of it all. Everything seems to be an issue for the star, from the topics that the ladies discuss during the show to the fact that Whoopi Goldberg has been cast as the discussion leader. After just a few months back at the round table, it seems O'Donnell cannot get out of there fast enough and her days are already rumored to be numbered.According to a well-placed source, TMZ is reporting that O'Donnell has become impossible to work with. Aside from being ticked off that Goldberg is in control of the daily discussion, she has made no friends within the production crew because of her rude behavior. Supposedly, people connected to the show have attempted to talk things out with O'Donnell, but that has gotten them nowhere. She is reportedly depressed, leaving some to wonder if she will even bother to finish out the entire season.Some of the conflict between O'Donnell and Goldberg has stemmed from the fact that Goldberg has purposely avoided discussion of controversial topics, such as the rape allegations against Bill Cosby. Since "The View" is now technically a part of ABC News, then there is an expectation that such headline-grabbing subjects would be fair game, but the more O'Donnell pushes for that, the faster Goldberg seems to dismiss her thoughts.
  • Thanksgiving Apart Leads to Rumors of Trouble in Kim Kardashian's Marriage to Kanye West

    It does not take much for Kim Kardashian's marriage to Kanye West to start grabbing some negative headlines. No one has ever accused them of exactly being the most conventional couple in the first place, but for some reason the press goes crazy when they do not play house like everyone else does.Remember, they have a baby, have been married for six months and are still living with Kris Jenner in spite of having mountains of cash for a place of their own. Thanks to reality television, we are all used to seeing the whole Kardashian family together to celebrate the holidays because it is how they have always done it. West was missing from last week's festivities.Not only did he skip out on Thanksgiving dinner at Khloé Kardashian's, but he was actually spotted in Paris dining with two of his best friends rather than spending the holiday with his wife and daughter. Kardashian raised eyebrows by being grateful on social media for having her "whole" family with her on Thanksgiving. She chased that with a photo of little North West out and about on Black Friday and in the caption Kardashian called her daughter her "best friend."
  • Are Rosie O'Donnell's Days on 'The View' Already Numbered?

    We recently told you how Rosie O'Donnell and Whoppi Goldberg have been clashing on nearly everything while trying to work together as co-hosts on ABC's "The View". The show has been in a total state of flux this season with Barbra Walters gone from the roundtable and two new ladies trying to find their footing behind such heavyweights as O'Donnell and Goldberg. Unfortunately, in all of the chaos the ratings have taken a significant dip and both stars are blaming each other.
  • Melissa Rivers is Hosting Thanksgiving Dinner in Honor of Her Mother in NYC

    Melissa Rivers has been working hard to move on from the untimely death of her beloved mother, Joan Rivers, back in September. We now know that the circumstances surrounding the comedienne's death were likely due to mistakes made by the healthcare professionals that she was trusting, and that Melissa has already hired a bulldog law firm to insist on some level of legal accountability. This is one of Melissa's top priorities right now but she also realizes that life must go on so she's going to celebrate Thanksgiving exactly as Joan would have.
  • After Rumors of a Split, Kourtney Kardashian is Spotted with Party Boy and Baby Daddy Scott Disick

    Kourtney Kardashian has been on the relationship merry-go-round with party boy, Scott Disick, for over eight years now and for a brief moment, it looked like she was finally done. Last weekend, Kardashian posted cryptic messages alluding to a split on her Instagram account while Disick did what he does best, -- he partied with his crew in Vegas. Just when it looked like they were finally done, Disick and the 8-months-pregnant Kardashian were spotted out in Calabasas together late Monday.
  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt Caught Fighting While Promoting 'Unbroken' in Australia

    It's been a really long time since Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie seemed any less than blissfully happy together, hasn't it? Apparently their time spent in Australia last week to promote Jolie's new film Unbroken, ended up being a bit strained, proving that they are just like everyone else. According to a report by Australia Woman's Day, Pitt and Jolie were caught having a blow out on their hotel in Sydney.
  • Jamie Horowitz Proposed a Plan to Totally Clean House at NBC's 'Today' Before Being Ousted Last Week

    The internal politics and constant discord behind the scenes at NBC's "Today" have become almost as big of a story as anything reported on camera. NBC has spent the last two years scrambling to try and reclaim its former top spot in the morning ratings war. In September, Jamie Horowitz started to observe Today's daily show so that by December new changes could be implemented at his request. A few weeks ago, he gave a five-hour presentation to NBC News head Deborah Furness, and in the end Horowitz was out of a job instead of anyone else.News leaked out recently that Natalie Morales and Willie Geist had been fired by NBC, and while those reports were later discredited, that is exactly part of what Horowitz had in mind. He also wanted Matt Lauer's co-host, Savannah Guthrie, let go to make room for Hoda Kotb instead, and if you are a fan of Al Roker, then you would have been out of luck because Horowitz would have fired him as well.
  • Caroline Manzo Reportedly Returning to 'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Once Teresa Giudice Is in Prison

    We recently told you that Bravo was working hard to try and strike a deal with Caroline Manzo to bring her back to "The Real Housewives of New Jersey." She opted out of filming the most recent season, so the producers brought in a trio of new ladies who just did not click with the audience. Midway through, they brought Jacqueline Laurita back in a desperate attempt to get former fans to tune back in, and they realize that for the show to have any chance of pulling decent numbers, they need a favorite like Manzo back in the fold.Teresa Giudice used to be the glue that held "RHONJ" together, and viewers loved the havoc she wrecked in nearly episode. There seems to be a huge difference between lying about her sister-in-law's activities and bilking people out of millions, and once it was confirmed that Giudice is a criminal, her fans became few and far between.Bravo also has to try and clean up the reputation of the show because Giudice is headed to prison, Laurita's tax evasion has been catching headlines and Joe and Melissa Gorga's business dealings are always questionable. Part of what makes Manzo so popular is that she comes across as the hardworking, Italian mother, something that is respected.According to The Hollywood Life, it looks like Manzo is a sure bet to return to the show for Season 7, especially once Giudice is in jail and the rest of the ladies are in one way or another affected by her absence.
  • Dean McDermott Battling with Tori Spelling to Keep Their Four Kids Off Her Reality Show "True Tori"

    Tori Spelling has spent the last several months using her reality show, "True Tori," as a way to try and hash out her plethora of marital problems with Dean McDermott in front of Lifetime's rolling cameras. What's even more uncomfortable is the number of arguments that have been filmed right in front of the couples' four kids -- all under the age of 8. McDermott recently said that he is done with this reality show because he's tired of looking like the bad guy and now it seems that he wants to pull the kids away from those cameras as well.
