• Lisa Rinna Claims That 'RHOBH' Is Similar to 'Melrose Place,' Just Without the Script

    When "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" returns to Bravo this evening for its fifth season, there will be two new faces joining the cast that will be quite familiar to many viewers. Both Lisa Rinna and Eileen Davidson have played hugely popular soap characters with a great daytime television following. Obviously, Bravo is hoping this will translate into fantastic ratings right out of the gate, and it probably has every reason to believe that that can happen.Rinna left "Days of Our Lives" back in the 1990s to hop over to a plumb role on the original "Melrose Place" and, according to an interview with E!, being on "RHOBH" feels similar to that gig."This is very close to doing "Melrose Place" without a script in your hand. Like everything in life, it's all about timing. It's funny, when I went on to "Melrose Place" it was Year 5. This is Year 5 of "Housewives" ... To be honest with you, after talking about it with my husband, it's been a really great gig for me. It felt right, to be honest with you ... and I like an adventure, I was looking for an adventure."
  • Apollo Nida Admits That He Lied to Everyone About Kenya Moore's Sexual Advances on 'RHOA'

    We are not quite sure what to make of Apollo Nida's deciding to admit on camera to telling a pack of lies to the entire cast of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" for the past few years. He has insisted for the last two seasons that Kenya Moore had been sexting him, basically offering her services — something Nida claimed to shoot down because he loved his wife, Phaedra Parks. In last night's Nov. 16 episode, Nida offered an apology to Moore for lying about her, and when confronted by the rest of the cast he admitted that every sexual advance he claimed she made was a lie.Obviously, Moore has been vindicated after spending years dealing with non-stop hate from this crew thanks to Nida's lies, but why did he come clean now? Nida has claimed he wanted to make peace with people before he surrendered to prison officials back in September. But was this about him feeling guilty, or was it more like Nida decided to show everyone how dirty and vicious he is because he is going away for eight years anyway?
  • 'Love & Hip Hop's' Moniece Slaughter Accused of Bilking NBA Star Joe Smith Out of More Than $100K

    "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" would be really boring if everyone kept their noses clean, right? I am sure VH1 runs like a well-oiled machine on that belief, so every time one of its stars catches a negative headline, the execs must see extra dollar signs. This time around, it is Moniece Slaughter who is making waves. Sure, she has been known to have some violent tendencies on camera, but now an ex is accusing Slaughter of bilking him out of $109,000.According to a report by TMZ, former NBA star Joe Smith has filed a police report alleging that Slaughter wrote nine checks between October 2011 and March 2012 to a man named Timothy Clayton Carr. Smith claims not to know Carr and says he never wrote the checks either. Carr claims he cashed the checks for Slaughter because she said she did not have a bank account to do so herself. At least, that is what he told police in June 2012. Carr also claims not to have known that there was any issue at all until the final check he cashed for Slaughter ended up being canceled.
  • 'RHOA's' Apollo Nida Sent Phaedra Parks Hate Mail From Prison As Divorce Can't Come Fast Enough

    Apollo Nida has hardly tried to hide his overwhelming dislike of almost ex-wife, Phaedra Parks. Fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" have watched as the couple married, had two sons and then abruptly crashed and burned. Nida was arrested for a slew of financial crimes including Identity theft and bank fraud last January and that was the beginning of the end for these two. To be fair, Nida was an ex-con when Parks married him several years ago, so she had a bit of an idea what he was capable of.
  • Randy Spelling Lives a Normal Life, Isn't Very Close to His Attention-Seeking Sister Tori

    While Tori Spelling has managed to keep herself working in the entertainment industry, one way or another, her younger brother has taken a completely different path in his adult life.Randy Spelling did an interview recently for Oprah: Where Are They Now?, and it seems he has really embraced a more normal lifestyle. While Randy was raised in a 123-room mansion known as Spelling Manor, his scaled-back, normal life in Portland, Oregon, seems to suit him just fine these days.Randy explained to Oprah:"My life is really different from how I grew up. It's definitely more quiet and more simple. I am a husband, I'm a father of two amazing girls. We do a lot of cooking. I mean, 90 percent of the food that we eat is all home-cooked. Would it have been nice to have been left a whole lot of money? Yes, things happen the way they need to, and my life right now might look very different if I had $10 million sitting in the bank. So, I had to get my wings burned a little bit and fall to learn how to just live rather normally."He also works as a popular life coach, which is more than a little ironic considering his sister's need for drama and chaos. Randy appears to be the more fully evolved of the two, and while he explains that he and Tori are not as close as he would like them to be, he manages not to say an even slightly negative thing about her. Randy simply points out that his sister is juggling four kids, a husband and a career in the spotlight and how it is a lot for her to handle.
  • 'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood's' Nia Riley Splits from Soulja Boy, Who Has Been Spotted with Karrine Steffans

    It looks like another couple from "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" has bit the dust. After years of an on/off relationship, Nia Riley has finally gotten tired of trying to convince Soulja Boy to commit. Rumors of a split started circulating last week, and after Soulja posted a photo of himself with former fling Karrine Steffans online, Riley stepped up to confirm the breakup. Obviously this is one of those couples who flip-flops a lot, but maybe they are better off apart. Generally, if you spend years debating whether or not a relationship can work, that is your biggest sign that it is probably not going to.Ironically, on the last episode of "LHHH," Riley was getting ready to move in with Soulja but he found an excuse to postpone it. He was about to venture out on a two-week tour and he claimed not to want Riley in his house alone without security. He claimed it was a security issue and not a case of cold feet. We have to wonder about that now that we know they have split just a few months after the filming of that scene.
  • Beyoncé and Jay-Z Contemplate Taking a Year Off to Move to France and Have Another Baby

    Beyoncé and Jay-Z have had one heck of a year. Aside from earning an estimated $95 million, the couple has also been dogged by rumors about the status of their six-year marriage. One little bit of elevator surveillance tape that showed Solange Knowles beating on Jay was all it took for months of speculation to swirl. Instead of going their separate ways at the end of their joint tour in September, Beyoncé and Jay instead decided to vacation together, and apparently France left a lasting impression, according to the "Daily Mail."The couple spent quality time in Paris with their daughter Blue Ivy and various outlets are now saying that there is an excellent chance that Beyoncé and Jay will spend the majority of next year living there. Sources claim the couple has decided it is time to expand their family, and Beyoncé is looking forward to the idea of having a stress-free pregnancy in the City of Lights. She also kind of likes the idea of Blue Ivy picking up French as a second language in a natural way by living in Paris.
  • 'RHOA's' Apollo Nida Refuses to Take Responsibility for Criminal Activities, Instead Selfishly Blames Phaedra Parks for Ruined Marriage

    Fans of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" were thrilled to see the show return for a seventh season last night on Bravo. One of the biggest storylines this season will likely be Phaedra Parks dealing with the fact that her husband, Apollo Nida, has been locked up for eight years on a slew of fraud and identity theft charges. In last night's premiere, Nida claimed his mistakes were fixable and absolutely flipped on Parks for not being there to support him.Nida refuses to take responsibility for his criminal activities and selfishly blames Parks for their ruined marriage. Rather than attend Nida's sentencing date, Parks instead took the couple's two young sons and stayed at a hotel until the chaos settled. She knew her being in court was not going to change the outcome and in the meantime she did not want the media attention disrupting her children. When Parks returned to the family home a few days later, Nida went off on her for not being a good wife and standing by him no matter what.

  • 'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood's Yung Berg Has Been Fired After Beating Up Masika Tucker in NYC

    Just when we had resigned ourselves to the notion that the "Love & Hip Hop" franchise loves when its cast members get into a physical altercation because it jacks up the ratings, they have actually done something respectable. We told you earlier this week that after taping the reunion show for "Love & Hip Hop Hollywood" in NYC, Yung Berg got extremely violent with his girlfriend/costar, Masika Tucker.
