World of Dance has crowned its first winner! After nine weeks of amazing dancing and heartbreaking eliminations, the three divisional finalists took the stage one last time to impress...
Forget about the singers, magicians and other talented acts on America's Got Talent. We just fell in love with a young dancing duo. On Tuesday night's all-new episode, viewers...When you marry for a spinoff, you… um, well the drama never ends! That is certainly the case with Bethenny Frankel and her ex Jason Hoppy who are currently in court battling over stalking and harassment charges!
The drama began after their FOUR-YEAR divorce finally wrapped up. Bethenny reported that Jason was consistently sending her a barrage of nasty texts, FaceTime calls and emails. After Jason publicly confronted her, the Real Housewives Of New York star called the police and had him arrested for stalking and harassment. Further charges followed when he still didn’t stop.
Yesterday Jason was back in court where he decided against accepting a proposed plea deal. Remember when we thought Jason was the normal one? Now it’s more of a case two wrongs don’t make a skinnygirl right!
Jason previously filed a motion to dismiss the charges, but was denied. In exchange the judge offered to seal his record if he agreed to a one-year restraining order and complied with appropriate behavior towards his ex, however Jason refused that deal and instead is choosing to fight it out in court. This is the second time Jason has rejected a plea deal. Oh bother…

According to the New York Daily News prosecutors have left the deal on the table until the scheduled September 27th court date and Jason will have until then to decide. Jason’s attorney says his client “has not yet made a determination.” He continues to maintain his innocence despite witness and police collaboration with Bethenny’s account that Jason accosted her outside Bryn’s school and attempted to start an argument with her over a cease & desist letter sent by Bethenny’s then-boyfriend Dennis.

Following the incident Bethenny was issued a temporary restraining order. Jason has argued his issues with Bethenny are in relation to their daughter, and her attempts to keep Bryn at a distance. (They share 50/50 custody… although who knows how this latest incident could affect that).
A source tells People that Bethenny hopes the restraining order will remain in place and has felt “so free and joyous” since Jason has been mandated to stay away. “You can see it on the show. She has been lighter and happier,” adds the insider.
Another source reveals that we’ll see a “very emotional” Bethenny when she discusses the situation at the reunion and reveals the truth of just how terrible things have been with Jason. “The rest of the cast was stunned. Even people in the control room were crying when she was talking.”
A gag order prevented Bethenny from talking about Jason while her divorce was ongoing. Ugh – this situation is such a mess. Poor Bryn. Will these two PLEASE just get it together!? Bethenny: stay out of the press and public with divorce and Jason drama; Jason: get over your divorce and leave Bethenny the f–k alone unless you can behave like an adult. Otherwise they’re gonna find themselves the next Simon and Tamra…

Last week I mistakenly thought it was the finale (minus the reunion next week), but Bravo decided to slip in just one more episode for us, which is great since it’s been one of my favorite Below Deck seasons so far!
On tonight’s finale, Bobby Giancola manages to tick off the primary charter guest when he brings the other guests back from a shopping excursion hours late (delaying dinner until well past 9 p.m.) and then leaves two of guests behind while he returns to the boat with his Tinder love.
Wes confronts Malia about her relationship with Adam. Malia finally admits that she knew Adam before the charter season kicked off. Wes seems less than happy about this revelation.
Also on tonight’s finale, “Hannah and Bugsy air their grievances and Lauren must choose which side she’s on.”

Tamra Judge is escaping the drama of Real Housewives Of Orange County for a little R&R in Aruba with her hubby Eddie and her two youngest children Spencer and Sophia.
Lucky Tamra is staying at the Ritz where she has been pretending to live Heather Dubrow‘s life enjoying the beach, the view, the luxury, and the mother-daughter bonding time with Sophia. Tamra also indulged in some deep-fried Oreos good to know the Ritz serves county fair food!

And since she’s Tamra, she also managed to find an ATV to have a ‘Glamis moment’ amid the glam of the Ritz (thankfully no accidents occurred). You can take the girl out of Glamis, but you can’t take the Glamis outta the girl, right?!
Obviously Tamra’s estranged daughter Sidney did not attend the vacation. Below you’ll find photos of Tamra, Eddie, Spencer, and Sophia enjoying paradise.

This week’s Real Housewives Of Orange County seemed like a bridge episode, linking us from the crazy plate tossing of yesterday to the Sip n’ See snubbing of tomorrow. Perhaps more than in any other season, battle lines have been drawn between the ladies, and Shannon Beador says she has no plans of crossing them anytime soon – especially when it comes to Vicki Gunvalson. Her position this season: Speak no Vicki, See No Vicki, Hear No Vicki.
Shannon does at least have room in her heart for babies! She gushes about meeting Meghan Edmond’s daughter, Aspen, for the first time. “Tamra [Judge] and I haven’t seen Meghan since she had her baby so it was nice to finally reconnect with her at lunch. I don’t think I have met a happier baby than Aspen, she is absolutely precious!”
But Shannon is not necessarily looking forward to her next interaction with baby Aspen, as Vicki will be present. She previews in her blog, “Looks like we will finally be seeing Vicki for the first time in months at Meghan’s Sip and See. I don’t intend to interact with her because I have nothing to say to her.”
After watching Peggy Sulahian’s husband Diko’s on-camera reaction to Shannon and Peggy’s phone call, she also isn’t sure she’s going to find an allies in the sports car moguls. She complains, “It’s interesting to see Diko’s reactions and hear his opinions about me when we have never even met. Lots of judging by new people this year, that’s for sure. David [Beador] and Eddie [Judge] have made it clear that they do not want to attend any events where Vicki will be present, and I respect their decision. And for this reason, I respectfully declined Peggy’s invitation to her Lamborghini unveiling.”

Okay, once again the point must be made: YOU ARE ON A SHOW TOGETHER. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t like when the cast starts stepping in to the producer’s shoes, demanding where and when they will film, with whom they will interact and why. Every franchise has had a touch of this diva-fluenza over the years, but damn! RHOC is taking it to RHONJ levels, circa Gorgas-versus-Giudices days. (And we all bore witness to where that got them!) Sigh.
Anyway, Shannon is not taking a shine to Peggy so far – even though her only interaction with Peggy consisted of Shannon losing her effing mind in a restaurant! She explains her reaction to seeing Peggy pinch Meghan’s mouth closed: “I usually don’t comment on parts of the show where I’m not present, but I do have to say it was quite surprising to see Peggy physically pinch Meghan’s lips together in an effort to stop her from talking. Peggy had never met Meghan prior to her event and I thought it was unkind. I wouldn’t have appreciated her doing that to me.”

Tamra Judge‘s strained relationship with her ex-husband Simon Barney and her daughter Sidney Barney has been a big part of Tamra’s Real Housewives of Orange County journey. Both relationships have been a roller coaster and just when we thought things had turned a corner after Tamra was invited to attend Sidney’s graduation in June, Sidney speaks out and slams her mother’s actions.
Last month Tamra shared the photo above and revealed that she was in attendance for Sidney’s graduation. She captioned it, “So many things to be proud of this month. Our family has come a long way and I couldn’t be happier. Simon and I are so proud of these amazing, smart, funny,beautiful & crazy kids. Congrats Sidney your smile lightens up the room and your future is so bright. #gaveituptojesus #2017 #family.”
Well, Sidney is not happy about the post and she shared in a new public Facebook message that she is NOT on good terms with Tamra. And doesn’t appreciate Tamra’s efforts to make this part of her reality TV storyline.
Sidney shared a heartfelt message to viewers. She is not happy about Tamra’s continued use of their strained relationship as part of her RHOC storyline.
Sidney writes, “I want to start by clearing some things up as my mother continues to talk about me despite me requesting her to stop speaking of me publically as I don’t want to be associated with her or the show. For starters, I did not move out when my parents got a divorce nor did I chose my fathers side in the divorce. My parents separated in 2010, I moved out of my mother’s house in 2013. Me leaving has nothing to do with the divorce, it has to do with the living conditions at my mothers house and the way she treated me and still treats me today. In regards to choosing sides, I actually chose my mothers side when my parents separated. This was due to the fact that my mother, the true parent alienator, would constantly talk negatively about my father in front of me and my siblings, putting us kids in the middle of my parents arguments. She even called us Simon or “mini Simon” when we did something bad or told us that we were “acting like your father”. This parent alienation caused me to resent my father and take her side. However as I got older I realized what she was doing along with other things that were toxic.”
She continues, “The reasons I left my mothers house are that she was neglectful (leaving us at home with no food or simply ignoring us entirely), she constantly put herself first and the biggest reason was that she was mentally and emotionally abusive. She was no mother to me. This was an unhealthy environment for all of us kids and unfortunately I was the only one to recognize this and take steps to get out of that toxic environment. I have explained this to her numerous times in court, in therapy, and when we would meet up that the ONLY reason I am not living with her is because she continues to do the things that pushed me out of her house, like talking about me on the show/press/social media, doing embarrassing things on the show, lying to me and putting herself first to name a few.”
And there’s more, “I went to therapy with my mother for 3 years. I was forced by the courts and my father to try to mend the relationship with my mother. Unfortunately my mother is unable to recognize that she is in the wrong and continues to put blame on everything else. If she would have put the effort into actually working on our relationship, instead of talking and crying about how much she “misses me” on the show and wishes things were different she wouldn’t have missed my entire high school career.”
On why she invited Tamra to her graduation ceremony and dinner, “My father has pushed me to have a relationship with my mother forcing me to go meet her in and out of therapy. He even forced me to let her come to my graduation because it was a milestone. When I told my mother that she could come I gave her a few conditions. All I asked was that she remains cordial with my father and my stepmom and to not post anything about my graduation, anywhere. Not even two weeks after I graduated she posted a photo of me and shared it with her one million followers knowing that it would get picked up by the press. The one thing I asked and have been asking for 4 years now has been to not talk about me because I don’t want to be in the spotlight. But Again breaking her promises as per usual, she puts herself, her fame, her reputation, and her bank account before me. If she really wanted a relationship she would keep her promises and recognize that it is no one elses fault but hers that I do not want her in my life.”

Sidney does not want to be in the spotlight, but wanted to speak out and set things straight with RHOC viewers, “Although I do not want to be in the public eye, I felt the need to clear these lies up and set the record straight in hopes that it will straighten my mom out so that she is held accountable and is forced to do the right thing. My mom has been portraying the innocent erased mother whose daughter was estranged from her due to divorce and an evil ex husband when in actuality she is the sole reason why I do not want her in my life and will not have a relationship with her. Instead of playing the innocent erased mother character, she could’ve been trying to actually fix our relationship and change her ways. However the character keeps her relevant, and is her only storyline. Why would she actually try to get me back? Without the estrangements she is no longer pitied and talked about and her fame and fortune go down the tubes.”
This isn’t the first time Sidney has been compelled to speak out. Two years ago she slammed Tamra as a liar and shared her disappointment in the RHOC reunion.

Luann de Lesseps' biggest fan has a message for her. Julie Klausner, the star and creator of Hulu's Difficult People and former Real Housewives recapper, appeared on Braov's Watch What...Unfortunately for Meghan Edmonds, she doesn’t have much of a story line on Real Housewives of Orange County. Fortunately for Meghan this just means that she has a relatively drama free personal life. So obviously she has to dish on the other Housewives to stay on the show.
And this time it isn’t just all about Vicki Gunvalson. She even had some opinions on Luann D’Agostino going back to Luann de Lesseps after ending an eight month marriage.
When Andy Cohen asked Meghan to share her thoughts on Luann’s divorce announcement Meghan theorized, “Maybe she just wants to stay on the show.” Damn. She did NOT hold back. Still, Andy pushed for more specifics, “You think she married someone to stay on the show?” Meghan’s explanation doesn’t make the most sense, but I feel like most of us get what she was attempting to convey when she said, “I mean, you know things shine bright and you can’t necessarily back away that easily- especially when you’ve got a TV job.”
Then they showed a clip from the next episode where Vicki actually had the nerve to say, “I want to punish them for not being my friend.” Meghan spoke for us all when she said, “Who says that? Who says that they want to punish someone for not being their friend? That’s so weird.”
That is almost as weird as Peggy Sulahian using her hand to physically close Meghan’s lips while she was talking the first time that they met. Andy asked her about how she “stayed so calm when Peggy closed [her] lips.” Just like any other normal person, Meghan had no idea what was going on in that moment. She admitted, “I thought Peggy was trying to clear the lip gloss off my lips and I was thinking ‘This is so nice for somebody who I literally met five minutes ago.'” Nope, that’s not what happened. Peggy was not being nice. Not at all.
Speaking of not nice (or at the very least- “questionable”), a viewer asked Meghan if Lydia McLaughlin is a “friendship whisperer or a pot stirrer.” Meghan said, “I think so far Lydia is pot stirring from what I see. I’m watching just like everybody else. So far it looks like a little pot stirrer. I just wish she would have stayed out of it.”
Another fan asked Meghan, “Do you think Vicki’s apologies are sincere or is she using them to get into everyone’s good graces?” Meghan didn’t hesitate to declare, “They’re never sincere.” Then she added, “Vicki and I are in a good place. We’re cordial, but there’s just something about Vicki. It’s hard for me to look at her as a sincere person.” I don’t know how long they can remain “cordial” after Meghan slammed her being insincere.

David Letterman is returning to TV, but with a Netflix twist. The longtime host of The Late Show will host a new six-episode untitled series for the streaming giant. The untitled series...
On Teen Mom 2, it’s another day, another baby. Or court case, either one would work for this crew. Kailyn Lowry has both – a new pregnancy and she’s heading to court with ex Javi Marroquin to get her emergency Protection From Abuse (PFA) enforced for an extended period of time. Chelsea DeBoer is also dealing with mediation with Adam Lind but it gets side tracked when he tested positive for drugs. Leah Messer is neither in court nor having a baby and is just trying to keep up with school and cheer practices while Briana DeJesus is dealing with Nova starting to notice she’s biracial. As for Jenelle Evans, she is fresh off a weekend away getting engaged to David Eason and ready to move into their new home soon.
To celebrate, Jenelle and David stayed overnight in the mountains, leaving David’s mom and sister to handle all four kids, including six day old Ensley. I know, I know, Jenelle is going to get dragged for leaving her six day old and I’m not sure why she didn’t think she would. Either way, at breakfast in the mountains before they head back, Jenelle discusses wedding plans and how thankful she is that this engagement is different than her other one because she doesn’t have to worry about David and his loyalty to her. Uhhh yeah, I guess that’s a good start. She worries about how mom Barb will take the news but hopes she is happy for her.
She doesn’t have to wait long because when they get back, Barb brings Jace over. Barb notices the ring right away and Jenelle tepidly tells her “oh yeah, we got engaged”. Barb looks neither surprised or impressed but compliments her ring anyway and moves onto bigger issues. Jace has been acting up a lot and even hit her, causing her to bruise. Jenelle decides a good way to try and get him to stop is to tell him that if he did this when he’s older, he would go to jail for it. Barb mentions when they went to the doctor, the doctor asked Jace if he felt bad and he said no. Since he’s not showing any remorse, both Jenelle and Barb decide it’s time to start looking into therapy.
Over in ex Nathan Griffith’s steroid infused world, he got wind of Jenelle getting engaged and tells his friend he doesn’t care while they lift weights. She’s been engaged like, four times before, according to him and wonders what kind of mom 1) leaves their newborn so soon and 2) names their kid Ensley.
The modular home on Jenelle’s land was delivered and she takes the kids and Barb to go see it. Barb is highly impressed, taking video on her phone and complimenting every last square inch of the place. It is nice but I don’t see that lasting long as the kids run and rough house through the insulation and construction.
Leah meets her friend Liz to work out and get sold on selling lipstick online, she just doesn’t know it yet. But Liz barely lets Leah get a set in before she is telling her all about LipSense and how Leah needs to get on board. Leah doesn’t seem particularly enthused but Liz puts the hard sell on her, saying how much she needs to show the world she can go to school and run a successful multilevel marketing scheme business at the same time. Leah agrees and wastes no time doing a home video to get to selling.
Corey Simms calls to let her know Ali didn’t want to go to tumbling for the second week in a row because she is tired and they both agree that they shouldn’t push it. A few days later in the car, Leah talks to Ali about it and asks why she doesn’t want to do it anymore. Ali says it’s too hard and Gracie complains that she can do it but doesn’t want to. She’s too young to understand Ali’s limitations so Leah thoughtfully explains that there are different things different people have the ability to do but there are so many activities to choose from, it’s ok to not be able to do one everything.
Nova has started asking Briana and the family if she can get her hair straightened. Briana thinks telling her that she would have to go to the salon every week to keep it up is going to deter Nova, which it does not. She doesn’t even understand what that really means. The subject comes up again when they are all out to lunch, with Roxanne saying that Nova is old enough to start understanding she looks different and also that her dad isn’t around as much as he should be. Briana lists all the ways Devoin is falling short as a father and Roxanne tells her at this stage, she should take what she can get from him because Nova adores him. They continue to talk about how perceptive Nova can be at this age and hey, it’s probably not that hard for Nova to be aware of all these things considering she’s sitting right at the table with them as they openly discuss it. I know she’s a child but it really drives me crazy how they sit there and talk about her like she doesn’t understand and then wonder how she picks up on these things so quickly.
Devoin would like Nova to know his side of the family more, especially since she needs to be exposed to the African American side of her family and culture but he’s frustrated that Briana will only let him visit at her place. He comes over and they discuss how his absence in her life is starting to affect Nova and he explains that he will get his driver’s license back soon so that should help matters. Briana admits that Nova notices she’s black and being around his family would really help her accept that she isn’t so different from everyone else. Nova comes in, thrilled to see Devoin and he immediately praises her for her beautiful hair. Briana just wants him to try more, even if that means checking in on the regular until he gets his license back.
At Chelsea and Cole’s house, life is good with new baby Watson and Aubree is settling into their new family dynamic. She even wrote Cole the sweetest birthday card, saying how happy she is that her mom met him at the gas station. But thanks to Adam, Chelsea has to deal with mediation because he wants to get his child support lowered. Taylor received the same notice and they imposed random drug tests on him too, which didn’t take long for him to fail. The day Chelsea is supposed to go to court, she finds out that the petition was dismissed and the hearing is cancelled. We then find out that Adam likely cancelled it because he knew he couldn’t win, not to mention, he tested positive for both methamphetamines and amphetamines. No one can get a hold of Adam to determine what this means for visitation and Chelsea realizes how bad off he has to be to fail a drug test when he knows he is going to be subjected to them on the regular.
Kail has her hands full with school, the boys and another baby on the way. She fills Jo in on the PFA she filed against Javi and while Jo always remains supportive in his words, I’m pretty sure I heard his eyes rolling over the phone as she told him.
Javi tells Producer J.C. his side of the story and how upset he is that Kail would go so far as to cause issues with his reputation and most importantly, his military career. He could receive an honorable discharge if this escalates and he maintains he has never once threatened her. Javi says once he clears his name, he will never talk to her again outside of Lincoln, which seems to be exactly what Kail wants out of this whole thing. That and she just wants him to take her seriously now.
Court comes and goes and Kail gets her way – to avoid looking into any allegations of abuse and dragging this thing out, Javi consents to her terms and signs an agreement to keep his distance for a year. He’s still pissed about it but for now, the matter is behind them and Kail is relieved that she won’t have to deal with him anymore.
