Even though Real Housewives of New Jersey doesn’t return until October 4, the taglines are finally here!
Unfortunately, Danielle Staub did not receive full time status so the fandom isn’t blessed with a tagline from the returning cast member. Aside from the blatant absence of tagline from Danielle, the rest serve as a preview of what to expect from the rest of the ladies this season.
E! News shared the Season 8 tag lines for the five New Jersey Housewives.
After creating an iconic reality TV moment when she flipped that table, Teresa Giudice became known for her hot temper. That’s why it was surprising when she discovered a passion for yoga while she was serving her prison sentence. Fittingly enough, her tagline combines the fiery Teresa the viewers have watched over the years with her newfound zen: “If you’re not about the namaste, get the hell out of my way.” Very Dina Manzo Season 6 of her. Just as reminder, Dina’s tagline for her return was “I’m back to bring the zen. Namaste, bitches!”
Say what you want about Melissa Gorga, but no one can disagree that she is very persistent about her personal branding when it comes to her fashion boutique Envy by Melissa Gorga. So of course she managed to slip the word “envy” into her tagline: “The only life I envy is my own.” There’s only room for one clothing store on this show. Sorry, Posche.
Dolores Catania’s tagline is “Look loyalty up in the dictionary and you’ll find my face,” which immediately made me flash back to the moment in the Season 8 trailer when Teresa said “you should have fucking stood up for me” and Dolores screamed, “I did stand up for you? When is it enough?”
Siggy Flicker has always been very open about her cosmetic enhancements. She even filmed her first scene on the show post face lift, struggling to sip lobster bisque with a straw, so it’s only logical that her tag line is “My motto is: Know your worth. Leave the rest to your plastic surgeon.”
Then there’s the newest cast member Margaret Josephs who has set herself up to market some pigtail-related message shirts with : “I bring the power, the pigtails, and the party.” After some somber seasons, New Jersey can definitely use some party- that’s for sure.

The American Idol revamp is going a little bit country! Country star Luke Bryan is joining Katy Perry at the American Idol judges' table, the singer confirmed on Twitter....It felt so random and honestly contrived when Kim Zolciak and Kenya Moore started throwing shade and screaming at each other during Sheree Whitfield’s housewarming party last season on Real Housewives of Atlanta. I had no idea they knew each other, let alone had beef. They were only on one season of RHOA together and they barely interacted.
Kim didn’t even finish out the whole season. She stormed out from a group lunch and off of the show. Nevertheless, they are pushing this feud for a story line and no one can get over the moment in the Season 10 trailer where Kenya tells Kim, “Worry about pimping your daughter out, bitch!” Damn.
Kim spoke about that slam from Kenya in an interview with toofab. The trailer shows Kim going in on Kenya for her very sudden marriage and she asked, “Have you guys ever met her husband?” And that’s when Kenya went for the jugular by referencing Kim’s daughter Brielle Biermann. As expected, Kim went off on her.
Now Kim is saying, “She is not a good person.” And she warned, “Don’t mess with my man, my money, or my kids. At the end of the day, that’s it. You don’t do it, and she crossed that line.” It’s understandable that Kim feels that way, but she didn’t stop there. She had to throw some major shade in Kenya’s direction- obviously.
Kim said, “I don’t expect her to ever understand because she doesn’t have a real husband or children.” Not exactly the best thing to say if she wants to squash this feud, but obviously that’s not what she wants to do and she should just prepare herself for the next dig Kenya has for her.
Kim also said, “I haven’t really met anybody like Kenya, and I hope to never meet anybody like her ever again.” Then returning to Real Housewives of Atlanta wasn’t the best move. These shows are full of cast members who will stop at nothing to insult each other for screen time. Did Kenya cross the line? Yes, but that’s how this show works.

Big Brother 18’s America’s Favorite Houseguest Victor Arroyo has had a very eventful year. First he turned his flirtmance with Big Brother 18 winner Nicole Franzel into a real romance. Then he watched his form Big Brother bestie, Paul Abrahamian, lose Big Brother 19. He also appeared in Men’s Health magazine.
Now it looks like Victor is rejoining the reality television world. A few weeks ago on his Instagram Live, Victor announced that he had a big announcement but couldn’t talk about it yet. Well Vevmo user PinkRose thinks she knows that secret: he will appear in the upcoming season of The Challenge.
This news comes as a shock because The Challenge usually only involves MTV stars. The show has former Real World, Road Rules, and Are You The One? former houseguests compete for prizes and glory. Last year, The Challenge had an athlete edition that involved former Challenge winners competing against professional athletes. Coming soon, the Challenge has a celebrity edition in the works with Challenge vets going against celebrities for bragging rights and money for charity.
Victor is rumored to be competing in a regular season of the series, which makes it even more weird that he’s the only non-MTV person. Reddit seems to believe that CBS worked out a deal with MTV, so that it would allow them to use MTV people in Celebrity Big Brother. This could mean our hopes for Celebrity Big Brother could come true. It could also mean more MTV people will appear on Celebrity Big Brother.
What do you think of Victor possibly appearing on The Challenge season 31?

The Real Housewives of Orange County star Meghan Edmonds is hanging up her investigative hat and leaving the medical record digging to someone else for once. In this week’s episode reflection, Meghan touched on her desire for a drama-free season, her communication issues with Peggy Sulahian and more.
Don’t call Meghan shit stirrer, as she claims to be trying really hard to avoid drama at all costs. Pinky swear. “I’ve seen all of your tweets and comments over the last couple weeks and I know a lot of you think I’ve been trying to stir the pot, especially when it came to my fight with Kelly. But remember earlier in the season when I said I wasn’t looking for any drama and didn’t want to stir anything up? I meant it! And I think this week’s episode clearly shows that. I’m all for taking the high road to avoid drama and put an end to petty fights.”
Meghan blogs about her desire to maintain the peace with RHOC co-star Kelly Dodd. “I literally had no intention of ever hurting Kelly and I didn’t want to allow this fight to go on and turn into us continually hurting one another. It was time to put it behind us before it snowballed out of control. Surgery is much bigger than a petty fight and it puts things into perspective. Kelly was there for me after my surgery and I want to be there for her. At the end of the day that’s what really matters.”
Meghan is not a big fan of newbie Peggy and is irked over her constant dismissive attitude.”I think it’s almost comical that Peggy thought we were testing her and poking her at dinner…nobody’s poking you Peggy, we’re trying to communicate with you! Kelly joked about her going to UCLA, but it truly is confusing to me how it’s so difficult to have a conversation with someone who was an English major at UCLA. Then when I tried to help Peggy understand what Kelly was talking about, she was so quick to shut me down – why is she always so dismissive of me?!”
Don’t expect Meghan to pull out her sleuthing skills when it comes to Peggy Sulahian and the unclear cancer situation. She shared, “And yes, I am also still confused about Peggy’s breast cancer (are abnormal cells actually cancer?), but in the big picture, that doesn’t matter and all that matters is that she’s healthy. I’ve officially thrown in the towel on my P.I. days and I’m not touching this one!”

It's your turn to be the critic. While E! News' TV Scoop Team already shared our honest opinions on all the new fall shows with you, it's ultimately your opinion that matters....
Larry David is an emoji. No, not the bald old man emoji on your phone, but there's actually a Larry David emoji on Twitter when you tweet #CurbYourEnthusiasm. HBO did it in advance of the Curb...Last night on Flipping Out, Jeff Lewis explains why hiring seven nannies does not make him insane, then flies down to Orlando to tour the palace of an actual insane person, Jackie Siegel. The Queen of Versailles hopes Jeff will design her 90,000 square foot monstrosity home that she and her hubby have been attempting to build for over a decade, but Jeff’s not so sure. Neither is David Siegel, who is not a big fan of Jeff’s humor – nor of his barrage of insults about the Siegal’s disgusting taste. (I’d like to pause here to personally invite Jeff to my home to insult literally everything I own. Because it would be 100% worth it to get a Jeff Lewis design out of the deal. By all means, insult away!!!)
But David Siegel’s ego is no small hurdle to overcome, and Jeff knows this. He and Gage Edward do not know a whole lot about babies, though, as has become starkly apparent these past weeks. At least baby Monroe has lived through the move to New Hollywood, so there’s that. She has not had a decent nanny stay for more than a hot minute, however. And Jeff has all kindsa excuses about why. Or maybe just one…
While Gage inspects video footage of Monroe from 3am the previous night, Jeff reflects on the three night nurses and four nannies they’ve gone through in five months. He is not liking producers call him out on this in his talking head, either. He’s like, “Before you make me out to be crazy, let me explain!” Then he proceeds to give exactly ONE excuse for ONE nanny who needed to go (she had a death in the family and Jeff did not like hearing her cry). So…what’s the story with the other 6?!?
No matter, for supernanny Gema has come to save the day! She’s kind, competent, and affectionate. So she’s hired – like, forever. And Monroe seems smitten with her. I, personally, am currently smitten with Monroe, who is possibly the cutest child on the planet. BONUS: She’s not screaming, people! For reals! She’s actually laughing and cooing in Gema’s arms, which means job security for this magical lady. “We found the perfect nanny,” says Jeff. Oh yeah, you did – especially because she’s hot for Gage to boot. Thus, Gage and Monroe are given the affection they both desperately crave. #TeamGema
Since New Hollywood is done, it’s time to get Old Hollywood up to speed. As in: not a pile of rubble and timber. Jeff loves living on the job site, but not IN the job site. He can micromanage via windows rather than holes in the office drywall. Although the plan is to move into Old Hollywood once it’s renovated, Jeff knows himself, and he’ll probably sell it before that move ever materializes.
Back at the office, Jeff calls Lea Black up to discuss orders. He also arranges flights to see Jackie (Lea’s friend) in Orlando. Gage’s eyes register what is happening, and it’s a look that says, “Please, God, no.” But Jeff wants to meet the Siegals and tour their Versailles property before committing to the job. He even agrees to consult for free, troubling Gage, and probably heading nowhere in the end. The very pregnant Jenni Pulos will also head to FL with the gang, even though she’s about to get Zika virus on this crazy Versailles chick’s mosquito-infested island! Nope. Not good, Jenni. No bueno.
Before their trip, Jeff and Gage take Monroe to her 5-month checkup. She is all smiles and peace and happy gurgles now, which is a welcome change from the baby-pterodactyl-being-poked-with-pitchforks phase. The daddies are in a better place now that Monroe isn’t terrorizing everyone with her wails, and they tentatively hope that they’re out of the woods. But leaving her behind when they travel to FL will be tough. Even Jeff has to tear himself away, despite his intense commitment to work. Zoila Chavez promises to hold down the fort while they’re gone, though, so between her and Gema, she’s in good hands.
Good thing Monroe is sleeping peacefully at home, because Jeff, Jenni, Gage, and Megan Weaver barely get the car parked in the airport ramp without a triple murder/suicide incident. Once in FL, they’ve calmed down a bit. Except for the fact that Jenni is more than a little freaked out about Zika, as well as the Siegel residence. No totally bizarre stuff going on here, folks! Just a few stuffed dogs, enormous political banners, disco balls perched tastefully next to Tang Dynasty vases. Sex rooms with curtained dancing stages and tables of gold-plated dildos. You know – the usual!
Before continuing with this recap, I would hereby like to request a 6-hour extended version of this tour, complete with alligator hunt footage. Because I could watch this Jackie Siegal house tour sh*t FOREVER. I think Bravo owes us this much.
Alas, we must leave Jackie’s current house of horrors to embark on a tour of Versailles itself, which looks like the Disney version of a trip to France…on acid and broken dreams. Jeff isn’t sure what to make of this incredibly enormous, half-done palace. Jackie’s tastes run along the lines of using real gemstones in the walls and hanging hideous chandeliers two feet apart for the entire length of the estate, whereas Jeff’s are more about ripping out the gold gaudiness, root and stem. Jackie’s like, “I want it to be gaudy!” No trace of irony is found in her tone, I kid you not. And I weirdly love watching this cuckoo woman fan the flames of her own delusions, even if that makes me part of the problem. #NoShame
Jackie should be ashamed of her bathrooms, though, which say “Welcome to Motel 6!” rather than “Bow down, lowly peasants, to our conspicuous consumption!” Jeff doesn’t plan to hold back on his assessment of these underwhelming bathrooms when he meets David later, but this turns out to be a risky decision. Especially because David chose the finishes for these bathrooms. Yikes!
Even Lea, who usually loves flash, gives everything here a thumbs down. All of the finishes must go – even the ones not installed yet. “This is a cross between Liberace and Versace,” says Lea. “You gotta go classy, not trashy.” Though Jackie’s eyes barely register a minimal level of understanding, she nods in agreement anyway. She’s out of her depth (and she lives in very shallow waters).
At dinner later, Lea gushes over Monroe’s baby pictures, then greets Jackie and David with hugs. Jeff gears up for the truth bombs he’s about to drop, wasting no time in getting to his assessment of the Siegel’s estate. After delivering the recap (it’s ugly, it’s dated, and it’s doomed to land at the top of the world’s greatest disasters), David scowls. “You’re wearing out your welcome,” he warns after Jeff compares his bathrooms to a Best Western.
Undaunted, Jeff pushes forward, knowing he’s only got one shot at making a real impression. He wants David and Jackie to build a masterpiece, not a cheesy Vegas replica. David seems to appreciate the honest advice, agreeing that he does need guidance in design choices. Although no deal is exactly struck yet, the Siegels seem eager to get more of this Jeff Lewis juju. Good meeting! Sort of.
On their way to Jackie’s warehouse the next day, Jeff and Gage find out that Monroe has finally slept through the night – woohoo! Oh, the bitter irony that she chose their first trip away to give everyone a full night’s rest. This is definitely Jeff’s biological child! Jackie shows the group around her airplane hanger sized storage unit, filled with “millions of dollars of antiques” and, oh, about forty thousand patio loungers. (WTF was up with that patio furniture, yo?!? We need answers.)
“Oh. My. God.” is the only appropriate response. And Jeff can barely contain his nearly physical angst over being plopped smack down in the middle of this psychotic clutter. Gage even sees the naked terror in Jeff’s eyes, knowing he’ll pay for this triggering episode later.
Ultimately, Jeff doesn’t want the Siegels to be jokes, but he doesn’t know if this project is beyond his capabilities. He’d love to help them out in theory, but in reality, these peeps are CRAY-CRAY. And this house ain’t never getting finished. So Jeff decides not to go down with the ship, rejecting the job in the end. Wacky Jackie is sad, but she’s probably got another dog to stuff back home so…she’ll be okay. Also, Jeff and the gang get to go to Sea World! And Jenni didn’t get Zika! And most importantly, we got to see a brief glimpse this lunatic property before it sinks into deeper ruin. Thus, the trip was worth it.

Disney Channel is running amok, amok, amok! The Internet was in for an early Halloween surprise on Thursday morning, when Disney Channel announced it is working a remake of Hocus Pocus,...
David S. Pumpkins is back! NBC has just announced that Tom Hanks will return to the iconic role he originated on Saturday Night Live during the now-legendary "Haunted Elevator"...She may not have been around for any scenes on this week’s episode of Real Housewives of Orange County, but Vicki Gunvalson has plenty to say about her co-stars in her latest blog.
Vicki calls her co-stars childish for ripping on her diagnosis of influenza B. She shares, “I spent the week in bed, with Steve playing nurse. When I went to urgent care, the doctor diagnosed me with influenza B. I didn’t know there were different strains of influenza, it was something new to me.” She slams, “For those ladies to who mocked me, make fun of me and question if it was an A, B, or C was juvenile. They acted like a bunch of children in a school cafeteria, I was embarrassed for them.”
She then blasts Meghan Edmonds for dishing shit out but not being able to take it, “I have actually gotten used to Meghan’s ‘she can dish it out but she can’t take it’ attitude. Meghan loves to stir the pot, but look out if someone calls her on it, she goes full Chernobyl melt down.”
Vicki is on Team Peggy and is appalled with the ladies for pressing Peggy on her cancer diagnosis. Vicki blogs, “Hearing these women question Peggy’s mastectomy, her diagnosis and course of treatment was disgusting and quite frankly none of their business. That information is between her and her doctor. Peggy is a strong, smart and confident women. If any of the ladies think they can mess with her, they better think twice.”
RELATED: PEGGY CONFIRMS ONCE AND FOR ALL THAT SHE DID HAVE CANCER
She has some harsh words for Shannon Beador and her meddling, “Shannon is non-stop sticking her nose where it does not belong. Peggy’s medical issues are not her concern and neither is my relationship with Tamra. Maybe if she focused on her own relationship with her husband she would be a little happier person.” Ouch.
She continues her rant about Shannon, “She reminds me of Mrs. Kravitz from Bewitched, always in everyone’s business. I have never heard a woman complain as much as Shannon. Just getting off the spin cycle she goes into crises mode. I would love to see one episode when she does not mention Vicki, Vicki, Vicki. Even her bosom buddy Tamra is becoming weary of her negativity.”
Vicki has nice things to say about two people this week: Kelly Dodd‘s husband Michael and also Lydia McLaughlin. She shares, “It was nice to hear Kelly talking so sweet about Michael. Michael seems to be is such a gentleman, in an old school way. Steve and Michael have a good friendship and Steve enjoys spending time with him. The four of us like spending time together and really like how easy things are with them.” Is Vicki trolling Kelly here? Did she know the divorce news was coming this week? And does this mean she’s on team Michael? Or just making an innocent observation before she heard the divorce news?
She moves on to Lydia and gushes over her. “Lydia is an example of a soft spoken woman with quick wit and a sharp mind. She is no push over and stands up for what she believes. I love hanging out with her and Doug, they are such a positive happy couple.”

A few weeks ago, Julie Chen announced plans for a Celebrity Big Brother, which airs this winter. At the time, we weren’t given many details, and we still don’t know much. However, celebrities have already begun campaigning to get on the series, especially diehard Big Brother fans. As Julie pointed out in an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Big Brother could be the opportunity for some celebrities to make, gain, or win back fans. It could be a career making or breaking decision.
It would be a very farfetched dream to hope to see A or B list stars on Celebrity Big Brother. They just don’t have the time and CBS is too cheap to pay for their appearance. However, we may see one or two semi-big names in the cast. But overall we expect to see entertaining reality stars taking up most of the cast slots.
With that in mind, we composed a list of the ten celebrities we would most like to see walk through the Celebrity Big Brother doors.
Tiffany “New York” Pollard
Tiffany made her comeback to reality television last year on Celebrity Big Brother UK. She gave viewers everything they could ever want, and more. Tiffany then went on to do a number of other reality programs in the US. If you want someone to entertain you, then look no further than Tiffany. If she’s not on CBS’s shortlist, they need to rethink their strategy.
Neil Patrick Harris
This one is really wishful thinking because Neil is definitely a-list material. However, he is also a huge Big Brother fan. So much so, that he appeared on an episode way back in season 7. He has continued to use his social media to make commentary about the past seasons. Neil also has a past relationship with CBS, which would be the perfect chance for him to turn his fanboy Big Brother dreams into a reality. We just hope he really considers it when CBS comes a knocking.
Lance Bass
Lance has also been a Big Brother fan for awhile. He often tweets about it, and has alumni on his radio show from time to time. Lance has been doing a lot more reality shows recently. Therefore, it is not out of the realm of possibilities to see him appear on Celebrity Big Brother. He also might be ruthless enough to be a really good player.
Spencer and Heidi Pratt
We know that there is probably a 0.5 percent chance either of them will appear on the series, at least the upcoming season, because they’re expecting a child. They probably won’t have the time, or want to leave their child this soon. However, if the timing allows, we’d love to see at least Spencer on the American version of Celebrity Big Brother. Both have appeared on the UK version twice. Spencer and Heidi are very good at playing their parts–being entertaining and characters that you root for despite yourself.
Zendaya
This also seems like an impossible cast, but Zendaya is no stranger to reality television. She competed on Dancing with the Stars, and made guest appearances on shows like Project Runway and America’s Next Top Model. CBS will definitely want to snag a young and upcoming star with a huge built in fanbase: Zendaya fits that bill perfectly. She just might be hard to book with her rising stock. Bella Thorne might be an easier sell, but we’ll still hold out hopes for Zendaya.
Kaitlyn Bristowe
The former Bachelorette is a huge Big Brother fan. She is also one of the more entertaining Bachelorettes. We would be interested to see how Kaitlyn does in a cutthroat game like Big Brother.
Mark Long
The former Challenge and Road Rules contestant would be perfect for Celebrity Big Brother. Not only would Mark be great at competitions, but he would be very entertaining. He would almost be the ultimate Celebrity Big Brother contestant by balancing entertainment and strategy effortlessly.
Shane Dawson
Shane is also a huge Big Brother fan, not only that but he has a huge built in fanbase. CBS would milk that as much as it could to build up social media buzz. CBS is also no stranger to having Youtube stars on its series. CBS devoted an entire season of The Amazing Race to Youtube stars. Shane would fit right into CBS’s brand.
Ray J
Ray J also appeared on Celebrity Big Brother UK but his time was cut short. Since leaving, Ray J has been trying to make his way back to the series. The UK just won’t take him back. We’re sure CBS would love to have someone like Ray J on their show. He has enough controversy surrounding him to make him prime Big Brother material.
Lolo Jones
Lolo recently appeared on The Challenge. She quickly became the star of The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros. She was not only great at the competitions but insanely entertaining. She would be feeds gold.
