Dang – January is not Joe Gorga‘s month! Last week he announced his restaurant, Gorga’s, is closing and this week his rental tenants are suing him!
In January 2015 one of Joe’s tenants slipped and fell on ice, fracturing his arm, at a “rental property that [Joe] owned under a business name,” explains Gerard Nisivoccia, an attorney for the plaintiff.
According to Mr. Nisivoccia, Joe is “the owner of the corporation that owns the property” and is therefore responsible for maintaining the premises safely. Which includes keeping up with winter weather and I suppose monitoring the balancing abilities of occupants?
The reason for the suit, and the long delay between court filing and the actual fall, is because Joe “wasn’t responding” to the tenant in response to the incident and the tenant felt they had no other recourse but to get the law involved. I’m sure Joe’s affiliation with Real Housewives Of New Jersey and its accompanying paychecks have nothing to do with it.
Page Six says the plaintiff is seeking an unknown amount of damages. Mr. Nisivoccia also reports that they are “waiting on a court date” to address the allegation. In case you’ve forgotten Melissa is also battling her own lawsuit after her former Envy partner Jackie sued her (and Bravo) for $30 million alleging slander and defamation! Back in 2015, the year of the slip and fall, Joe was also part of a lawsuit from Johnny The Greek over a brawl at Posche 2. Never a dull moment in Jersey!

Marriage Boot Camp Family Edition is back and this time Brandi Glanville, Amber Portwood (with ex Matt Baier) and many more will be checking in for some mental evals.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned in all our years watching (and reporting on) reality TV is that these people need a lot of therapy! Thank goodness some genius figured out how to kill two birds with one stone by inventing reality television therapy. That way these ‘stars’ can indulge in both their addiction to extending their 15 minutes, and potentially seeking some much-needed help. Do I have Dr. Drew to thank for this?
Amber won’t just be bringing Matt into the fold, her mom Tonya will also be moving in to address their complex relationship, as often dysfunctionally displayed on Teen Mom OG. Maybe Amber actually needs two seasons of this stuff?
Brandi’s father Guy will be joining her in the house. “Don’t miss my dad’s & my new show together! Be scared!!! I am #familytherapy #familybootcamp starts airing March 9th on #WETV,” she announced in an instagram post. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) Eddie and LeAnn are staying home!
Other cast members include former Mob Wives star Renee Graziano, whose family and personal problems are obviously extreme. She’ll be joined by her sisters Lana and Jennifer Graziano – who was actually the creator and producer of Mob Wives! Love & Hip Hop‘s Chrissy Lampkin will be moving in with Mama Jones and her man Jim Jones. Eek.
E! News reveals that the craziest drama will center around Amber and Matt. Amber met her current boyfriend and baby daddy Andrew Glennon during filming, because Andrew actually works for the show as a cameraman and um, crossed enemy lines. Matt, meanwhile, up and married some random babe in Las Vegas this November. Amber and Matt apparently fight over his inability to commit which wasn’t copacetic with her desire to have a family – something he already has enough of!
You can catch the new season on WeTV beginning March 9. I might actually have to tune in for this ultimate mess express. Does that make me crazy enough to be a cast member – sometimes I feel like I’ve watched enough reality TV that I’m guilty by association.
TELL US – WILL YOU BE WATCHING THIS MESS?

Even though most of the ladies in the Vanderpump Rules cast want nothing to do with their (former?) friend Scheana Marie, she couldn’t be on better terms with her recent ex Robert Valletta.
Rob even called in to the Watch What Happens Live After Show when Scheana was one of Andy Cohen’s guests to make it clear that there’s no hard feelings associated with the split. He also threw some major shade at Scheana’s frienemies.
According to an article from People, Rob admitted, “The truth is, it’s really hard in her circle of friends.” Plus the reality TV cameras and criticism from fans and haters on blogs and social media.
Rob continued, “Individually, when they’re by themselves, they’re really great people. But when you put that group of people together, they’re savages. They come after you, and it’s really hard to have a successful relationship with those people attacking you from all sides.”
He didn’t call out any specific names, but it’s pretty clear that he’s referring to Scheana’s on-again-off-again frienemies Stassi Schroeder, Katie Maloney, and Kristen Doute who called him out for following the latest Vanderpump Rules trend: making out with a woman you’re not dating.
Rob confessed, “It’s really hard. Her world is really hard to feel secure in.” That sounds on point to me. He also made it a point to emphasize, “Scheana and I have been broken up for a little bit, but literally our relationship has maintained the same for the past 12 years. We are each other’s best friends and that has been in and out of relationships for the past 12 years. It’s been great.”

The last episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta was the first one in a long time when every cast member got along. It didn’t provide any GIF or meme-worthy content, but it was significant in a different way.
The Atlanta Housewives came together to film Kenya Moore’s public service announcement about domestic violence.
Kenya reflected on that episode in a Bravo blog post. Before getting to the serious stuff, Kenya was asked about Sheree Whitfield’s blonde hair. Kenya joked, “The weather started to drastically change when she showed up. Her eyes turned grey. She started to float in the air and lightning bolts shot out of her hands…and there was a STORM!”
They are bringing up Sheree‘s various blonde wigs in every Real Housewives of Atlanta interview – blatantly asking the cast members to shade her. Every. Single. Time. Hopefully she takes this into account next season when she selects her hairstyles. Or maybe she’s just thriving off of the attention and social media content that results from her hair choices.
Moving on to the PSA, Kenya explained her motivation for putting the commercial together: “The facts are men, women, children, gay, lesbian, transgender, old, young, wives, husbands, black, white are all affected…the face of domestic violence has no one identity. It affects ALL of us. People die every day at the hands of a spouse, exes, people in relationships, etc. This is the climate for change. We all have to be accountable. #MetooNoMore”
She admitted, “I’m so proud of them for putting their differences aside and supporting this amazing cause. So many people commented on social media that it was the best episode ever. We are role models – willing participants or not. We are all successful, strong, and determined. Collectively, our standing together is a force to be reckoned with. I’m so honored and thankful that they each did their part.”
Kenya added, “I’d also like to thank all of the actors who participated as well. We filmed and re-enacted scenes that will be shown in the full PSA. My heart is so full at the talent, passion, and time everyone donated to help.” She also shared, “For more info on getting help, please visit SafeHorizon.com and stay tuned for the full version of the PSA.”

The Real Housewives of New Jersey season eight reunion has a special guest, and we're not talking about Kim D. or Danielle Staub. The Real Housewives of New York City's Ramona Singer makes...Unfortunately, Kyle Richards‘ home was burglarized. There are some people who don’t feel too sad for her because she is a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast member and just assumed that she could replace whatever was stolen. Just because someone has it worse, it doesn’t mean that your problems aren’t bad.
Obviously, Kyle is in a way better financial position than most of us normal folks, but she also lost some sentimental things as well. Kyle opened up about the burglary in a recent interview.
Kyle told Bravo’s The Daily Dish that “everything” was stolen. Aside from material goods, Kyle’s passport was taken. What if someone tries to steal her identity?
Kyle shared, “I keep telling myself, these are just things, they are. But it still really hurts a lot. My mom left me things she had collected her whole life, passed those onto me, and I wanted to pass those things on to my four daughters. And every time I buy something or I’ve been given something, I think, ‘Well, these are gonna be for my daughters one day.’ Really, every gift I’ve ever been given, everything my mother left me, everything that I worked my butt off to buy for myself, all of it has been taken.”
Of course Kyle can replace some of the things that were stolen, but she explained why she’s not comfortable doing so. She shared, “I’m looking at things differently in this moment. I don’t know how I’m gonna feel in six months or a year. I really don’t know. But the thought of going out and spending a lot of money on a handbag or something like that now just is something that’s not appealing to me because now I have this negative connotation with it. So I don’t know. I don’t know what I’m gonna do moving forward.”
She also justified her decision to continue the family vacation in Aspen instead of heading home to California: “The last place I wanted to be was home at that moment. So I decided to stay in Aspen with my family and try to focus on the fact that we have each other and we’re happy and healthy and enjoy our vacation together because there was nothing I could do at home in L.A. The detectives had handled everything. And everything was gone.
Kyle shared a lesson that she learned: “So I think that in moving forward, I don’t know if I’ll be sharing on social media like I do now, ‘Oh, I’m going here, I’m going there.’ It changes how you think about everything.” She could just post her vacation photos after the fact. Just because it’s called Instagram, that doesn’t mean that she needs to share updates as they happen.

Apparently Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino wasn’t thinking ahead when he decided to run with “The Situation” as a nickname. Sure, he was referring to his abs, but going by “The Situation,” just sets him up for so many headlines and punchlines for any bit of trouble that comes his way.
Case in point: The Situation this time around involves some tax trouble and the Jersey Shore cast member is facing some prison time. That is quite the situation if you ask me.
Once again, Page Six came through with the details surrounding the legal situation. Mike rejected a plea deal on Tuesday over some tax charges. He is facing up to fifteen years in prison and his brother, Marc Sorrentino, could get twenty five years. In April, the brothers got accused of falsifying records and failing to pay taxes.
The reality star owes income tax on an estimated $8.9 million that was earned between 2010 and 2012. Not so coincidentally, the original run of Jersey Shore was on television from 2009 to 2012.
Mike was accused of making “multiple cash deposits on the same day in amounts less than $10,000, into different bank accounts that he controlled”so he didn’t have to report the transactions to the IRS. I’m no expert, but that sounds very calculated to me. Mike is in quite the sticky situation. Hopefully he has a great lawyer and some plausible explanations for his financial activities. Maybe he can get an advance on his Jersey Shore: Family Vacation paycheck so he can pay off some taxes?

Will & Grace is getting a couple of visitors. E! News can exclusively break the news that Vanessa Bayer and Cheyenne Jackson will be guest starring in one upcoming episode of the...I’m not exactly sure about the logistics, but Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller has been sharing her thoughts from prison via Instagram. I have to assume that someone from the outside is doing the actual posting, but it’s still a pretty unusual thing to do. Now I’m just waiting for her to promote one of those monthly beauty boxes from her jail cell.
Anyone who watches the Lifetime reality show isn’t surprised that Abby has voiced a few complaints, but what was she expecting this experience to be like? She’s at prison, not a day spa.
Abby has been behind bars for just under six months and according to her latest social media post, not being able to teach dance is starting to bother her.
Abby posted a throwback photo on the red carpet with some of the girls from the show. She captioned it with, “Starting to get so so bored. I need to teach dance. I don’t function without dance.” I don’t blame her for being bored, but voicing that on social media with a throwback photo at a glamorous event just doesn’t seem like best idea.
Even though Abby insists that she “needs to teach dance,” she actually has done so pretty recently. She choreographed a Christmas performance in prison. She shared, “So today is going to be a good day. I was given the opportunity to choreograph the Christmas show here in our camp.” Oh great: another reality TV star who insists on referring to jail as “camp.”
She continued, “I’m very excited for all of our family and friends to watch today. Everyone is nervous but I know they are all going to be great.” There is a lot to unpack from that caption: 1. There is a Christmas show in jail. 2. Family and friends were permitted to attend. 3. She was more optimistic and supportive of her fellow inmates in that one post than she ever was with her students before any performance on Dance Moms. Ever.
Abby took to Instagram for another Christmas post. She wrote, “I love Christmas. What would you like off Santa this year?” Really? I can (kind of… sort of… a little bit) understand sharing an “update” on her life for her followers, but this is a little much. And again, I want to know who is actually writing out these posts and how involved Abby is when it comes to her own social media account.
She posted a throwback video from a Dance Moms Christmas performance. This looks like a textbook case of not appreciating what you have until it’s gone. She even shared shout outs and congratulations to her former students and fellow Dance Moms cast on her Instagram page.
On New Year’s Eve, Abby posted a screen shot from Dance Moms that shows her wiping away some tears. Along with that, she wrote, “Can’t wait to say goodbye to 2017! So many exciting things ahead in 2018. I want to thank everyone for all the support you have given, especially my close friends. It’s true what they say, ‘Hard times will reveal true friends.’ Love you all.” And of course she punctuated that with a plethora of hashtags at the end.
Abby shared her resolution for 2018: “to dance daily.” That’s great and all, but I feel like there are some pressing matters that Abby needs to address as well.

It can be tough to understand the Vanderpump Rules social circle at times, but it is clear that these relationships are authentic- unlike most other reality TV show casts. No matter what these people have done to each other (which is a very long list based on episode story lines alone), they are there for each other when it really matters.
Jax Taylor’s Vanderpump Rules costar Katie Maloney has opened up about how he is handling the death of his father and how the other cast members have been supporting him.
In an interview with Us Weekly, Katie explained, “Each day is its own. I think he’s just going from one day at a time.” Which is completely understandable.
Katie’s husband Tom Schwartz has been close friends with Jax for years. She shared, “Tom went and saw him last Saturday in Florida and went to the funeral. He said that Jax’s just going from hyperventilating, crying, to be being fine.” Wow. The only small silver lining here is that Jax can process this privately since the show isn’t filming currently.
Katie continued, “I think he’s becoming a little stronger each day, but it’s just … I can’t even imagine what it’s like to lose a parent and to know that his dad was his hero and one of his best friends. He admired him so much and of course I reached out to Jax and talked to him a little bit. I know he’s been with family and friends.”
Jax’s former flames Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute flew out to Michigan to support Jax at a “celebration of life” event in honor of his father. Katie said, “Tom and I were unable to go but we’ll be there in spirit.”
She added, “When he’s back, we’ll make sure we rally around him and he can adjust back to life and all of that.”
