Looks like Ariel Winter was hungry to return to the small screen! On March 7, NBC confirmed to E! News that the Modern Family star will be replacing Demi Lovato on NBC's upcoming...
Who knew cake could give you an existential crisis? In the trailer for Is It Cake?, which E! News has exclusively debuted, bakers are asked to craft confections that look identical to...The latest episode of Real Housewives of Orange County was a doozy, to say the least. Newbie Dr. Jen Armstrong has been increasingly open about having marital problems with husband Ryne/Ryan Holliday. Heather Dubrow, who after 25 years of marriage, fancies herself an expert and stepped in to help. So she invited Jen and Ryne/Ryan over for a dinner party. To further assist, she invited some of her long-time married friends, presumably to reveal the secrets of a happy marriage.
Things didn’t exactly go as planned. Or at least that’s what production wanted us to believe. Jen got sauced, Ryne/Ryan seemed completely detached and uncomfortable. Then he put his napkin in his shirt to eat, horrifying Heather and her uppity guests. They left with Jen stumbling out and Ryne/Ryan likely learning nothing about marriage outside of how to care for your drunken wife.
But Heather wants us to know it wasn’t as bad as it looked. As reported by Reality Blurb, Heather took to an episode of her podcast, Heather Dubrow’s World, to explain that things aren’t always as they appear on reality tv. You don’t say?
Heather began, “I was so pissed off because, first of all, that toast that Jen gave about the underwear that was later, not when we sat down. I hate when they do that because if I had known she was that hammered, I would have ended the dinner would have her sent home. What you didn’t see was we had a full dinner.”
Heather went on to say that production made the whole thing look “shitty.” And that the night was more fun than what viewers saw. She added that Jen wasn’t intoxicated the whole time and that the group even danced at one point. Although she did note that Jen fell while dancing. Which doesn’t exactly help her argument that Jen wasn’t a drunken mess. Or maybe Jen just has two left feet, who knows?
Heather continued, “We went outside and danced on the balcony over there on the patio out there. We were dancing and whatever. I mean, it was a full evening, and I didn’t ask that many times. So, I hated that scene. I hated that they took, in my opinion, was one of the most fun, funniest evenings. And like Sarah and Jen were dancing together, and then Jen dropped her and just left her there and walked off. It was so funny. And she wasn’t that hammered until the end.”
She explained, “That’s why I was upset about the episode because I was so excited to see this party because it was so much fun, and everyone had such a great time until the end. And it just bummed me out, but they didn’t show it.”
As for how Heather herself handled the dinner party, she took issue with production on that too. She fully admits to being “controlling” and liking her dinner parties a “certain way.” But she didn’t appreciate how production made her look. Heather can complain all she wants but let’s face it – she knows the deal. She’s a housewives veteran, even if she’s been away from the show for a few years.
Regardless, on the Real Housewives After Show, Jen and Heather laughed off the whole thing. Heather told Jen, “You are so funny though. We had a lot of fun that night.” Jen responded, “Yes! That’s exactly right. It was fun. It was a blast.”

Has anyone ever told Joe Gorga that shutting up is free? This reflective meatball just can’t keep himself out of on-camera drama that doesn’t concern him. In fact, he seems to find no problem with dragging his under age family members into “his Housewife’s” spotlight for his own attention. His presence on Real Housewives of New Jersey has just been a vacillation between putting down the women he’s related to and talking about his junk.
On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, a guest asked Joe and Melissa Gorga about the relationship between Antonia Gorga, Milania Giudice, and Gia Giudice as a result of the drama taking place between the adults. Though Gia has repeatedly asked Joe to keep her father’s name out of his mouth around her and her family, he just can’t seem to make it happen. What a patriarch! Imagine watching young girls you love lose their father through no fault of their own, and then getting mad that they aren’t bashing him along side you publicly.
“Honestly, I see it affecting [Antonia] a little bit now. She really doesn’t get involved. She’s starting to get a little annoyed,” Joe told the audience member. He shied away a little saying, “I don’t really want to talk about it too much. She’s getting old enough.” So say nothing! Doesn’t he have a job, or like, anything to do besides puppy dogging after his wife’s spotlight?
Joe admitted that Antonia does watch the Real Housewives of New Jersey. He added that “she loves her cousins” before Melissa interrupted to say that Antonia get’s “a little disappointed” with the Giudice girls.
In an earlier episode this season, viewers watched Joe call Joe Giudice “the devil” before Gia told him in a level but firm tone, “I’m done with you being disrespectful.” Joe shot back with insults, calling Gia’s attitude while defending her father “horrendous”, before storming out of the party in true Housewives fashion. Isn’t this the guy who offered to step up as a parental figure that one time? Someone get these Gorga’s a story line so we can go back to ignoring them, please.

Season 14 of Real Housewives of Atlanta cannot come soon enough. We will be welcoming back some established baddies like Sheree Whitfield and Marlo Hampton. I, for one, am ready to move on from Porsha Williams’ entire vibe and penchant for accountability dodging. And though I love her, my screen won’t miss Cynthia Bailey’s #chilling. The dawn of a new day is upon us…hopefully.
Kandi Burruss has been on a press tour lately, dropping hints about what’s to come on the newest RHOA season. She’s admitted that the change in casting has not switched up the amount of drama fans can expect. Most shockingly? She by Sheree is bringing us tangible garments and a full on fashion show. More dramatically? It sounds like Kandi and the former friend-of Marlo get all the way into it.
“Marlo and I, we had some real serious beef that happened this year. It was crazy. I wasn’t expecting it, because I was really one of the main people rooting for her to get her peach,” Kandi revealed on the Daily Beast Live. “I did not think that we would have that type of a falling out,” she added.
Kandi shared that, not only will we be getting a lot more of Marlo this year, but we will actually get to meet her mother! Of course, Kandi is not a grudge holder or a drama chaser. How she has managed to stay on this show for so long is shocking, to be honest.
She assured viewers that, in the end, she and Marlo are able to move on from their disagreement. She said, “We were able to fix it. It’s not like we’re still in a bad place, but at that time, I wasn’t sure if we were going to come back from it.”
On The Wendy Williams Show Kandi shared that the disagreement between herself and Marlo was “really bad.” She added that they were able to bounce back and come together over chicken wings. We love to hear it. Kandi also teased some history-making reads we can expect from the rising Queen, Kenya Moore.

Netflix struck gold when they developed Love is Blind. Quite literally everyone and their mother watches this show. And for good reason. You don’t have to be a reality TV fiend to enjoy the type of drama and chaos this show depicts. People meet from separate dating “pods” to determine whether they can find love without judging someone’s looks. These relationships are positively unhinged. The casting on this series is *chefs kiss* And those are just the characters we get to see.
It feels criminal that we had to wait this long for a second season of Love is Blind. Now that my season two binge watch is over, I am dying for more. Gratefully, Netflix has announced that on April 6th a new show will be hitting our queues. The creators of Love is Blind are gifting us with a whole new series called The Ultimatum! Nick Lachey and Vanessa Lachey will once again host a dating show disaster for our entertainment.
Us Weekly reported on the new show’s trailer. It opens with Vanessa announcing to a group of beautiful people, “You’re here because someone in your relationship has issued an ultimatum.” And we’re off!
Vanessa went on to explain the shows premise, “One partner is ready to get married and the other isn’t sure. You’re going to find out if there are people here who [might be a better fit].” Temptation Island Netflix style, and I am not mad about it.
The show allows couples who are unwilling to commit to find a new partner after a week. Once the new singles find their new partners, they live separately with them for several weeks. At the end of the experience, contestants must choose between staying with the person they arrived with, or “leaving them forever.” Intense!
The show’s trailer shows contestants saying things to one another like, “I am not attracted to you” and “I think you can do 100% better than him.” It also seems that some singles who brought their partners here to get closer, end up falling further apart.
All 10 episodes of The Ultimatum drop on April 6th!

Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee continues his quest to be the most hated Love Is Blind contestant in the show’s two season history. A we all know, Shake went into the situation seemingly not understanding the premise. Love Is Blind is a dating show that experiments with exactly that – the idea that you don’t need physical appearance to fall in love. But Shake didn’t get the memo. He routinely tried to get the weight and stature of a few contestants in the pod. After plenty of misses, he finally connected with Deepti Vempati. She overlooked his initial red flags and the two got engaged in the pods.
Once they got to Mexico, where the newly engaged couples are supposed to get to know each other, things quickly changed. The two were not intimate and Shake seemed detached and uninterested. When they got home, things didn’t get much better. Shake regularly complained to the other contestants behind Deepti’s back. Ultimately, Deepti found out, and dumped him at the altar. Like she should have. It was a welcomed moment of justice on reality tv, where the villain often wins.
After the show’s finale, Shake was read for filth all over social media. And with good reason! So I think we were all wondering how he might defend himself at the reunion special. The answer? He didn’t really – he just made himself look WORSE. As if that was possible. But instead of complaining about Deepti, Shake took aim at someone more unexpected – host Nick Lachey. As reported by E! News, Shake took to social media to complain about Nick’s hosting skills.
In a since deleted Instagram post, Shake slammed Nick for his comment that since Shake is a veterinarian, he can see why he treats animals and not humans. A good burn, but pretty tame if you ask me. But Shake’s fragile ego couldn’t handle it and he griped, “You’re a massive twat for your comment dragging vets. You do realize that becoming a veterinarian [is] considerably more difficult than becoming a human doc right?”
Shake also whine that Nick was not an “impartial host.” He added, “Sorry I didn’t play along with your narrative like the rest of these puppets… You put a doctor on the show… of course you’re going to see some critical thinking.” I would love for him to elaborate on when he displayed critical thinking.
While the jilted vet tried to claim he got a bad edit, Love Is Blind’s creator, Chris Coelen says not so fast. Chris told Variety, “If we were afraid of that comment, we could have taken it out.” He noted, “But I’m not afraid of that comment, because during this process, we want to give people the opportunity to say whatever they want to say.” And despite Nick and his co-host/wife Vanessa Lachey’s highly opinionated approach to hosting, Chris defended them. He explained, “We don’t tell them what to say or not to say. It’s their thing.”
As for Shake, Chris admitted that no one told him what to say either. Which was obvious. Said Chris, “Shake was jumping in from the word ‘go.’ Nobody tells him to do that. That’s what he decided to do, he wants to get his point of view across and I guess, good for him.”

This season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been off to a hit-or-miss start. On one hand, the first charter of the season was relatively easy. Other than Gabriela Barragan having to rein in a drunkenly inappropriate charter guest, of course. On the other, the new crew members aren’t quite gelling yet, whether it’s Ashley Marti and Tom Pearson arguing over who’s more immature or the two stews getting off on a competitive foot. But little does the crew know they should’ve been counting their blessings during charter number one because things can get much harder at work. And they’re about to, thanks to some unforgettable returning charter guests…
The day after the first night out is, blessedly, a turnaround day. So the crew has a full twenty-four hours to clean up the mess they made on board after a night of drinking, partying and arguing. As the stale beer bottles get emptied, Captain Glenn Shephard calls Gary King, Daisy Kelliher and Marcos Spaziani together for a preference sheet meeting. And surprise! The co-primaries for charter number two are Erica Rose and Cindi Rose! Daisy in particular, is filled with dread at the prospect of the return of the Roses, especially considering how unabashedly difficult the mother-daughter duo were last season. But hey, at least as a viewer you know it’ll be memorable! Just dear go, please no “tatas for Trump” this time, OK?
There’s also lingering tension among the junior crew that needs to be dealt with before guests come on board. After getting advice from Gary, Tom decides to apologize to Ashley for their spat the night before. At least just for the sake of clearing the slate and keeping things copacetic and professional. Though deckhand Kelsie Goglia still thinks that the two need to, in her words, “bang it out” rather than simply hug it out — even if Ashley insists she would never date someone her own age.
Yet as one door of drama closes, another opens, this time over the hierarchy in the interior. Ashley‘s made it no secret that she was rather unhappy about being made third stew. And if her attitude is any indication, she doesn’t intend to take any orders for Gabriela during the charter season. So when she opts to suck up to Daisy by helping plan the Roses’ party decor instead of cleaning up the bar like the second stew asked, it becomes a problem. Gabriela’s upset at being blown off, and calls Ashley out in the crew mess in front of nearly the entire crew. But rather than intervene, Daisy focuses on her own duties. The two stews can figure things out between them without the need for her to referee.
Gabriela quickly regrets the confrontation, but her attempt at apologizing doesn’t really go over that well either. Ashley tells her point blank that she basically sees the hierarchy between second and third stew to be completely arbitrary. And in a way, she does have a point. Both stews only have about a year of work in yachting under their belts. But while the air technically gets cleared, something tells me this battle of the stews is only going to get worse as the season progresses. And Daisy won’t be able to avoid stepping in for long.
The next morning, Captain Glenn greets Daisy with a deliciously scandalous piece of news. The guests’ arrival for the charter — which is scheduled for that afternoon – has been upset on account of Erica, her husband and her mother being ejected from their flight at Heathrow Airport. While details are a bit muddy on what exactly went down, it looks like Cindi won’t be arriving until later in the day. Because she’s been detained. I swear, only the Roses…
Following a panicked scramble to properly clean the transom, the rest of the guests arrive sans the Married to Medicine Houston alum, with Erica in the lead. And before they’ve even made it down the dock, her husband, Chuck, is threatening under his breath that every time he’s inconvenienced, the crew’s losing part of their tip. So this is going to be fun! As the crew gets to work unpacking Erica alum’s mountain of luggage, the one-time Bachelor contestant regales Daisy with the story of her mom’s detainment. Apparently, it involves Cindi stealing Chuck’s omelette from first class because she didn’t like the yogurt being served in economy plus? I can only imagine the four police officers chasing Cindi around the plane with her eggs, but the real question is: why wasn’t she in first class too?
After anchoring in Cala Presili, Tom makes his second major mistake of the season by forgetting to remove the pins in the door before opening the swim platform. The deckhand’s flub not only scratches the paint on the boat, it also earns him a talking to from Colin Macrae about doing his job correctly. Meanwhile, Ashley is a captive audience for Chuck as she’s forced to unpack his and Erica’s bags as he drones on and on about stone crabs, alcohol and how rich he is. Suddenly I’m having flashbacks to when Cindi cornered Alli Dore last season to do nearly the exact same thing. They’re not technically blood related since Chuck is her son-in-law, but maybe the habit runs in the family?
While Gary heads off in the tender to finally pick up an unfashionably late Cindi, Daisy serves as intermediary between the guests and Chef Marcos over the dinner menu. Chuck immediately turns his nose up at the idea of a watermelon gazpacho. He may not know what it is, but the word sounds disgusting, OK? So that idea’s out the window. Ten minutes later, Erica invades the galley with a friend to shoot down Marcos’ plan to make a broccoli mousse. Can’t they just have a plain, basic salad instead? Right about then, it dawns on the chef that he’s cooking for guests with the culinary sensibilities of a kindergarten class. I warned you this would be fun, didn’t I?
Despite the downgraded menu, Marcos manages to pull off a delicious meal for the first dinner of the charter. Not that that stops Erica and company from complaining about the food. First, she sends her steak back because she wants it well done. She expressly told the chef she didn’t want any pink in her steak, but he managed to forget. Then, Chuck criticizes the steak after his first bite, but quickly retracts the statement because he just cut off a piece of fat. By the end of the meal, though, everyone seems satisfied, with even Erica’s finicky husband calling the dinner “one of the top five” he’s had in his entire life. Hint: you would do well to remember that statement.
Before going to bed, Daisy runs the next day’s itinerary past Erica, who settles on forgoing breakfast for a boozy brunch on the beach at 11 o’clock. However, her family members seem to have missed that memo. Because Chuck wakes up cranky and demanding food with Cindi meekly following suit. Their last-minute breakfast orders — an omelette for him, poached eggs for her — create more work for Chef Marcos, who has to pause his brunch prep. But he whips the food out in no time. No problem, right? Wrong.
First, Chuck gets angry that his omelette has tomatoes in it, and demands a second, tomato-free one from the galley. Like a petulant five-year-old. But it’s while he’s waiting for his replacement omelette that he really gets going, bashing Marcos‘ food while Cindi chimes in to claim what the chef has presented since they arrived is no better than the local Chili’s. Oof, low blow, dude. Chuck gets so wound up that by the time the new omelette is delivered to the table, he pushes it away too, calling Marcos’ cooking “disgusting” and refusing to eat. And on second thought, he takes back what he said after dinner, too. He hated the steak. As he stomps around the boat whining that he’s had “better food at the ball park,” Daisy‘s left to run interference before the crew loses their entire tip altogether.
TELL US – WERE YOU SURPRISED TO SEE ERIKA AND CINDI BACK AS CHARTER GUESTS? IS ASHLEY DISRESPECTING THE HIERARCHY OF THE STEWS? HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMEONE GET KICKED OFF A FLIGHT FOR STEALING AN OMELETTE?
