Throughout the years, Melissa Gorga has tried out a few different careers for story lines on Real Housewives of New Jersey. She has tried singing (an interest that I want her to revive next season), running a fashion boutique, owning an Italian restaurant, and just like most Housewives she “wrote” wrote a book.
According to reports, Melissa and her husband Joe Gorga had yet another career in mind and it also involves reality television.
An “inside source” told Page Six that the Gorgas wanted their own TV show. Reportedly, “Joe was going to build the houses with his construction business and Melissa was going to get her real estate license and be the interior designer.”
Apparently they didn’t move forward with the plan because of Melissa’s contract with Bravo. Even so, this same “insider” points out that Joe does not have a contractual obligation to Bravo.
I wonder if they ever pitched this show to Bravo. I have to assume they did since that would make the most sense for Melissa’s contract situation. It’s also safe to assume that Bravo passed considering planned title for the show was Flipping Joe, which is a pretty similar title (and concept) to the already-existing Bravo show Flipping Out. Not only that, but Bravo has way too many enough home renovation and real estate shows on the network. The network already has Flipping Out, Bethenny & Fredrik, and two(?) Million Dollar Listing shows.
As expected, reps for Melissa and Joe did not respond to Page Six‘s request for comments.

The Ghostbusters aren't afraid of no ghosts and Lisa Vanderpump isn't afraid of no Bethenny Frankel. In a preview clip for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' Tuesday, Feb....
"I do, I know the end of Game of Thrones," Maisie Williams triumphantly said on Jimmy Kimmel Live. She said this after admitting she lives her life in fear of revealing something not yet...Alright so this is a cold day in hell because last night’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills had me feeling sorry for Kyle Richards. I was also Lisa Rinna bellowing across a bar “What happened?!” cause seriously I’d like to know how we got to the hot mess express and threw Kyle under?! Also, I am warning you: I have nothing nice to say about Dorit Kemsley.
The ladies are in NYC for Fashion Week and because Dorit has achieved the meteoric accomplishment of landing the cover of a magazine no one would’ve heard about were it not for Lisa Vanderpump previously landing a cover there. If you recall when LVP had her Bella Magazine party it ignited apology-gate with Eileen Davidson, and after Kyle and Dorit’s disastrous issues last night, it appears to me that Bella Magazine is bad luck for Real Housewives. It is better to be cover-less than covered in bad friendships!
Anyway, what I really want to talk about is Dorit’s outfit as she walked around NYC with LVP. A sweatsuit that has done battle with a sharp-fanged animal (Dorit herself?).
Seriously though, how prescient was that outfit because it was full of more holes than Dorit’s stories. It was like seeing inside Dorit’s brain. And it also looked like something Kanye West designed, then tore up in a fit of rage, but then decided it was FASH-ION so he put it on the models dying of heat stroke in a Brooklyn park, and phonies like Erika Dorit bought them.
The irony is that Dorit wears this get-up to ‘confess’ to LVP that she’s been talking shit about her and spilling her secrets all over town, twice on Sunday, definitely after rose all day, and to all their friends, semi-friends, and so-called friends. See, while mad at LVP for storming out of dinner, Dorit may have incidentally called LVP jealous over Dorit’s friendship with Kyle and blamed Lisa’s parents for not paying any attention to her. Dr. Dorit meant no harm, though, she was just upset, a little angry, and venting. Dorit does a lot of venting.
During this confession, LVP doesn’t know what is going on, or even how she wound up sitting on a bench in the rain having a rambling conversation with this crazy woman wearing ripped up clothes and dumpster hair, who is literally talking constantly but saying NOTHING at all. Luckily LVP is accustomed to Dorit rambling off on tangents and blaming her “laser focus” on something or someone for whatever wrong she does. LVP only wants reassurance that Dorit is being honest and doesn’t have anything else to confess, and they are good.
Kyle is having a very different experience over lunch. Mainly that she is spending time with women who have all their clothes, and all their marbles. Those women would be Silent But Deadly Camille Grammer and Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, who has found her voice and is holding The World According To Dorit accountable. Thankfully. Teddi reveals that over dinner Dorit essentially called LVP “Jealous” “Needy” “Insecure” and broke her confidences. In between all this Dorit also reiterated to Erika Girardi that it was KYLE who was upset that she left Teddi’s beachhouse and proceeded to talk shit about her to everyone else. Kyle is gobsmacked, and she’s also positive that LVP will be very hurt once she learns of Dorit’s chatter.
Across town, Erika wears her sunglasses (they’re prescription, y’all) to a meeting with her publishing company and is just so excited to tell her story. Good for her!
Back at the hotel, everyone prepares to attend Dorit’s magazine party, except Kyle doesn’t really feel like celebrating Dorit – she actually feels like stoning Dorit at the altar of Chanel, then banning her for life from Kaftans Across The Globe For Me & You Too. Since that’s not a possibility, she invites LVP to her dressing room where she repeats everything she heard from Teddi about what Dorit said over dinner. (That sentence is a Real Housewives tongue twister if I ever heard one. Which I haven’t).
Kyle is ostensibly outraged on LVP’s behalf because Dorit is supposed be Lisa and Kyle’s BFF, and Kyle just wants to earn brownie points is trying to protect her good friend LVP. But in reality, Kyle is mostly angry that Dorit lied to Erika, implicating her, so she’s hoping that LVP will channel her outrage and betrayal into supporting Kyle when she confronts Dorit. Because Kyle plans to confront her so-called friend come hell or Bella Magazine parties held in her honor! Unfortunately Kyle’s plan mega backfired.
Lisa is suitably shocked by what she heard, and she’s also visibly hurt and angered, but she just bottles it up, nice and Pumptini-like, puts it in her pink velvet bag, and checks it for another occasion. Kyle, meanwhile, has no such self-control and probably should’ve consulted hardcore Teddi before going off the rails on Dorit. There are exercises for that Kyle, but you won’t find them at the bottom of your bell bottoms.
Dorit looks like a scared kitten on the cover of Bella. Maybe it was because she foresaw her future as the pariah after eviscerating LVP’s good will. While Dorit is flitting around, Kyle takes the opportunity to do some damage control with Erika. She assures Erika she was certainly NOT talking anymore shit than anyone else and was simply drunkenly expressing her thoughts. Erika dismisses her with an “all good.” Meanwhile, LVP confronts Teddi, who reiterates that Dorit most certainly called her needy and insecure, and suggested that LVP is jealous of Dorit and Kyle’s friendship. Teddi made sure to include that she doesn’t think Dorit is being malicious, just looking for attention.
Kyle just can’t keep her feelings for Dorit bottled up you guys. Kyle does not sweep things under the carpet. No, not her – she hair helicopters her way in, and then confronts this bitch. Kyle also doesn’t do splits anymore, but that’s another matter for another day, and one I am strangely sad to have to write about. Bring it back, Splits Richards. Bring it all back.
And here I am off on a Dorit-style tangent that has absolutely nothing to do with the ladies scurrying through the rain, under designer capes while clutching their purses, and begging for umbrellas from passersby so they can have their limo escort them to the next bar. Which has rats. Something Lipsa knows a little too much about. But, if you’re gonna have rats, let them be golden.
Only, Camille loves the rain and gleefully trots through it allowing her clothes to get soaked. Of course Camille loves a storm. Of course she does.
Initially, everyone is in a good mood – especially Lipsa, who is ready for Drunk Rinna to come out. Instead, it was Drunk Kyle crying into her tequila. But first, Erika had a little pay it forward moment! No, she didn’t take some of Tom’s gold and hand it over to the homeless Dorit – instead she informed Teddi that she could see up her skirt.
“Teddi, as your friend, I can see your puss,” remarked Erika as Teddi sat down. Erika demonstrated how one doesn’t have to be pat-ronizing to let a fellow-girl know her puss is out. How peaceable was that, DORIT?!
Teddi responded by covering her lap with a jacket, and that was it. No harm, no foul, no panty-gifts and gates. But seriously, these women need to invest in underwear. I know it’s not as exciting as say a Baby Gucc. that looks like a slutoween costume a 21-year-old would wear to a frat party, but still – it’s a helpful thing to have.
I am here for the Fun Kyle calling Dorit out, though! And oh does she! Dorit has no answers for her behaviors, but instead denies, denies, denies like a politician. She also tries to obfuscate with more rambling stories to over-explain her bad behavior until Erika cuts her off. Erika actually kept redirecting Dorit to stay on message. It was all very strange. And what is Erika – The Dorit Whisperer?
Dorit held it together until it came to Teddi putting her in a strangle hold with her accountability lasso of truth. When confronted about why she tattled to Kyle, Teddi pretty much repeats verbatim what Dorit said during dinner, but instead of Dorit pulling a Lipsa and ‘owning it like she paid for it,’ Dorit mocks Teddi’s career and her manner of speaking. She also accuses Teddi of just wanting to cause problems. Dorit is an ass though, and thankfully Teddi didn’t play along. Girl is not out for blood, but she is out for sweat and tears. So, she came to the right place!
The weirdest thing was that LVP literally sat there and said NOTHING. She just watched on as Kyle wrangled for her and argued with Dorit; raged and cried. I actually haven’t seen Kyle this intense in any argument which didn’t involve Kim (and by-proxy Brandi because of Kim.). LVP simply refuses to acknowledge that it could be true that Dorit said all those horrible things. LVP claims her silence was because she didn’t want to ruin Dorit’s big night, but she looked unsettled.
LVP’s reaction left Kyle outraged. First Dorit betrayed her friendship and tried to ruin her relationship to Erika; and then LVP didn’t back her up or even acknowledge that she was taking one for the team. Their team. A team Kyle is now realizing LVP isn’t on. I mean, she never comes to practice, and when she does she wears the wrong shoes and is carrying a dog under her arm. When she should be helping Kyle carry her argument.
Rinna is bored – she wants to have fun and she’s not having anymore of Kyle’s pity-party, so it’s back to the hotel to read Rinnavation. Or book her daughters for more modeling gigs while they’re on the toilet. What is it with these girls and toilets!?
In the lobby of the restaurant, LVP finally comes alive and questions Erika, who was present during the latest infamous dinner, about whether or not she’d be offended by Dorit’s comments. Erika refuses to answer, but later admits to Teddi that she would be a little hurt. Yeah right! Erika would be seeing Louboutin red! Her ‘ice queen’ act fools no one (except the sycophantic queens she surrounds herself with and Dorit).
Why is LVP letting Kyle fight her battles? Why is she pretending to trust Dorit emphatically? Why is Kyle running into the night crying because LVP offers to share a taxi to the hotel with the dreadful Dorit? Admittedly, that would piss me off, too because it’s just so confusing. Now it’s Kyle who feels invalidated, needy, insecure, jealous, and abandoned. She thought Lisa was her friend, but now it’s all failed alliances and so much more to the story than we’re getting. Which sucks. Even worse, Kyle recognizes that if the tables were turned and she were ‘The Dorit,’ there would be a drastically different reaction from LVP. Kyle believed she and LVP were formidable friends, but instead she has been rode hard and put away wet. Now she’s questioning everything – including LISA’s loyalty.
Back at the hotel, Teddi finds herself comforting Kyle who is SOBBING INTO A DISCO-BALL PONCHO. When no one else is looking, LVP quickly confronts Dorit that if she did indeed say all those things, Lisa would be hurt. Not just hurt, but really really hurt. Dorit denies all of it. Then she scurries away to bed, breathing a sigh of relief that she dodged a bullet.
LVP doesn’t quite understand how she was the one called all these pejoratives and was gossiped about by a close friend, but it’s become all about Kyle and Kyle’s hurt feelings. Answer: Because, Kyle. Because Kyle is the one whose mother didn’t love her enough or give her enough attention, and Kyle is the one who feels permanently left out, abandoned, and insecure. However, if Kyle wants love, Lisa will smother Kyle with all the love her parents never showed her and this hug should indicate that LVP values their friendship. It’s not good enough for Kyle.
Well, at least Kyle never got so histrionic her purse ended up on the floor! Friendships out the door – fine; money out the door – nope!
Teddi tried. She did. She tried too much and toed the line into meddling in her effort to help LVP and Kyle talk through it, but alas it was futile. It’s futile to make Dorit see reason and take accountability. It’s futile to to expect LVP to express her true feelings. And it’s especially futile to make Kyle understand that she did the right thing in calling Dorit out (just maybe not the right time or place). For once, I wish there had been more Drunk Rinna.

Prepare to see some glitter mixed in with the sand on Bachelor in Paradise this summer. As Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season of The Bachelor comes to an end, producers are eyeing his crop of...

Earlier this week Jenelle Evans‘ unhinged husband David Eason went on a twitter rampage and made homophobic and transphobic statements, including comparing transgendered people to dogs and blaming ‘bad parenting’ for causing homosexuality. David critiquing anyone’s parenting is awful enough…
David immediately received backlash for his statements from both fans and Jenelle’s Teen Mom 2 co-stars. Despite the reaction, Jenelle mistakenly assumed the whole thing would blow-over quickly and the show would go on. Fortunately not! Yesterday MTV announced they are ending their relationship with David “immediately.”
“Official statement from @MTVPress: David Eason’s personal comments do not reflect the views of MTV. With six weeks left of production on ‘Teen Mom 2,’ effective immediately, we are ending our relationship with him,” the network tweeted.
Jenelle attempted damage control by insisting it was all a misunderstanding when David tweeted that gay people don’t have morals and aren’t “normal,” because “David doesn’t hate people from the LGBT community.”
“David didn’t understand how offensive people would get or how Twitter even works,” Jenelle told TMZ. “Now that he realizes his voice is very strong within media/tabloids he has deactivated his account. He agrees he will keep his comments to himself from now on.” The only thing strong is the delusion. And hypocrisy.
“My old manager was gay and used to be one of me and David’s close friends,” Jenelle continued. “We attended Farrah’s birthday in Miami with a lot of LGBT people there and he didn’t act in any type of way. We went had a good time and left.”
The Ashley’s Reality Roundup adds that network executives met in a closed-door meeting to discuss Jenelle and David’s fate, but it’s “unlikely they’ll fire” Jenelle over David’s behavior. I can’t imagine what Jenelle’s storyline will be without David involved, but I’m sure she’ll think of something! Maybe lots of shots of staring off into the distance on The Land?
Neither Jenelle or David have publicly reacted to his firing yet, and they’ve both deactivated their twitter accounts. I’m actually shocked the network went through with it given how much drama David consistently brings!

On Tuesday, the Celebrity Big Brother house geared up for another nomination day. With Mark McGrath in power, Brandi Glanville and Ariadna Gutiérrez knew that they were in a lot of danger this Celebrity Big Brother week. James Maslow and Mark are close allies and Brandi has been a nuisance to him all season.
James and Mark want either Brandi or Ari out the Big Brother, but Ross Mathews is set on Omarosa. Most of yesterday’s Celebrity Big Brother live feeds action revolved around discussions about nominations.
Mark and James debated a little about whether Omarosa should stay on their target radar. They considered her as an option if the Power of Veto is used this week. However, they both really wanted Brandi gone, and Ari possibly to split up a major pair. The men seemed to come to the conclusion that if one of the two women came down, they might have to name Marissa Jaret Winokur or Ross as pawns.
Brandi even took some time to get Mark to see that them going to the finals together was a good thing. Brandi and Ari increasingly grew suspicions of deals being made behind their backs.
Despite Brandi’s efforts, Mark still named Ari and her as eviction nominees. Once the nomination ceremony happened, Marissa told Ross how close he was to getting evicted on Monday, because Ari, Omarosa, and Brandi weren’t pushing for it. This made Ross feel more at ease about voting her out, if he has to on Friday.
The players picked for PoV were James, Omarosa, and Marissa. Everyone will be playing for it except Ross. Brandi or Omarosa really need the Veto if Brandi has any hope of staying. Check back later today to see who wins Power of Veto and whether it saves Brandi or Ariadna.

Just like her mother, Kim Zolciak, Brielle Biermann is no stranger to igniting social media controversy. Almost everything these two share on Instagram, Twitter, or Snapchat starts some debate. From the (alleged) overuse of photo editing apps to (alleged) cosmetic procedures to questionable quotations, these two know how to bring attention to their social media pages.
Brielle tweeted something about “wanting to help people in need” and it did not sit well with her followers. That sounds like a sentiment that most people would support, but considering the greater context, what she said got a lot of hate in response.
So what did Kim’s oldest daughter tweet? Brielle wrote, “i wish i could win the lotto just to help out people in need.” Instead of complimenting Brielle or hitting her with a like, a lot of Twitter users came for her and pointed out that she is very fortunate in life and is very much capable of “helping out people in need.”
One Twitter user suggested, “Don’t get your lips done this week.” This same person responded to her own tweet and added, “Spare me I make 50000 a yr and and donate weekly….like I have it.” Others posted similar responses, like this one: “Or spend the money you use to buy over priced bags and clothes that sit in your closet to help people.”
Another person pointed out, “You have enough money to help..the fact that you think you need the lottery just goes to show how little you know about the economy.”
A follower made a great point: “You don’t need to win the lottery to help people in need out. There’s people less fortunate than you, like me, that manages to. Whenever I go shopping I pick up an extra item for my local food bank. Not much but every little helps.”
I have to assume that did not write that tweet with the intention of upsetting people, but she sure did. A “fan” asked, “Do you WANT people to hate you?”
Someone suggested using her social media influence to make a difference: “You have something more important than what winning the lottery would/could do. You have 240k followers and a voice. Use your popularity/celebrity to raise awareness & that awareness will bring the $ to those who need it.”
One woman replied to Brielle with a link to a GoFundMe and wrote, “Lovely & kind spirit @BrielleZolciak. My mother, 72 yrs old, and I have been homeless for more than 2 yrs and know how it feels to be forgotten while trying to rebuild our lives. Beyond grateful if you can help us spread the word.” Brielle did not like, respond to, or retweet this post. In her defense, her phone was probably BLOWING up with the notifications after her tweet, so it is very possible that she didn’t see this one.
This Twitter user really went in on Brielle: “People who make FAR less $ than you give a lot of their hard earned money. What EARNED money do you give? Are you that naive, spoiled & inconsiderate to post such a tweet?” So did this one: “I wish I could win the lottery so I can pay my electric bill and get my car back on the road. I never comment on here but this tweet is embarrassing.”
The comments weren’t all bad though. One person told Brielle, “I always say the same thing But there’s so many ways you can help people! The lotto has nothing to do with it! A little goes a long way!!!”

The Celebrity Big Brother finale is only five days away. Big Brother has been nice enough to allow five people to stay to the final day, but there will still only be one winner and two people at the end. This means every decision from now until Sunday could mean the difference between fifth and first place on Celebrity Big Brother.
This week’s Head of Household needs to be very careful about his moves. One wrong one could be detrimental to his game. The right one could prove that he deserves the Celebrity Big Brother champion title.
Right now, no one thinks Mark McGrath can win Celebrity Big Brother. He has been floating around, barely making any game moves. However, as the new Head of Household, this is his chance to cause some chaos, create some waves, and put a stamp on his game.
Most of the season, Celebrity Big Brother has had a gender divide. And with only a few days from the finale, that divide still seems obvious. Mark wants to use his Head of Household to weaken the power held by the women. Right now, they’re up four to three. Mark wants to specifically take a shot at Brandi Glanville annd Ariadna Gutierrez.
Mark sees them as a powerful duo, and Brandi has made it pretty clear that she hates Mark’s closest ally, James Maslow. Ross Mathews, however, is in an alliance with Brandi and Ari. He wants Omarosa on the block and out the game.
He tried to push this agenda on Mark last night, but didn’t seem to work.
So who did Mark end up nominating this week on Celebrity Big Brother?
MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD. PROCEED WITH CAUTION
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Mark stuck to his original plan: He nominated Brandi Glanville and Ariadna Gutierrez for eviction. Marissa may be the renom if one of them comes off the block.

This week, the Brandi Glanville, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Ariadna Gutierrez, and Ross Mathews final four alliance almost experienced a major hit: Ross or Brandi almost left the Celebrity Big Brother house. Instead, the Big Brother: Celebrity Edition houseguests finally decided to grant Metta World Peace‘s wish and sent him packing.
Now the Celebrity Big Brother house is pretty much divided. Metta was kind of a middle player, who wasn’t a floater because he wasn’t really playing the game. Now the divide seems more clear.
Brandi, Marissa, Ariadna, and Ross are basically on one team against Mark McGrath and James Maslow. Ross is basically with the women, but he keeps his options open by floating between the groups. However, in the end, we believe Ross’s dream scenario involves Mark or Marissa sitting next to him in the finals. Mark is just someone that he believes that he can beat at the end, and Marissa is his game ride or die.
James and Ross are pretty close in the game, but Ross will take James out the minute he gets the chance. However, James seems committed to an alliance, and final three with Mark and Ross. We don’t see that changing any time soon. Brandi and Ariadna had a major disagreement this week. However, with the eviction out of the way, the pair should be fine.

If Omarosa is going to make it to the final five, she’s going to have to do it all on her own. She has no true allies, and still a major target. However, being alone could end up helping her, because why take someone out who is alone when you can take out one of a pair. The house has three sets of pairs right now, so things could go well for Omarosa, as long as Ross doesn’t gain power in the next two evictions.
