Nobody said young love was going to be easy. Victor (Michael Cimino) is forced to make some major life decisions--all while finding himself in the middle of a high school love...Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice was furious when her brother, Joe Gorga, and his wife, Melissa Gorga, joined the show. This franchise centers on family more than any other Housewives series. But at the Season 12 reunion, RHONJ viewers saw a family disintegrate. Teresa was still angry that years ago, Joe and Melissa didn’t move their wedding date because she was pregnant. Oof.
Then Teresa called her brother a “bitch boy” before Joe stormed off stage. She was raging at the reunion, and it was a little scary. Both Melissa and Teresa admitted that they weren’t close, and they were done pretending. Wow!
Now that Teresa is getting ready to wed her “soulmate,” Luis “Louie” Ruelas, the man with the questionable past, there is even more drama about her wedding. During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, Teresa revealed that she will have eight bridesmaids, but none of her co-stars got the nod. “Please guys, don’t make a big deal about it,” Teresa commented. Oh, this was going to be a HUGE deal.
Melissa found out from watching TV that she wasn’t in the wedding. Joe bashed his sister for excluding his wife. “It’s more like there isn’t any respect. My sister, she was completely wrong, 100 percent,” Joe stated.
Teresa explained that she wanted everything done exactly the way she wanted for her wedding to Louie. “I’m not her best friend, she’s not my best friend,” Teresa said of Melissa. “But do we hang out like best friends? No, we don’t, and I’m okay with that.” That’s cold.
Melissa confirmed that they don’t meet up off-camera, and she doesn’t have any guilt about the way their relationship ended up. At this point, I’m wondering if Melissa and Joe will even attend this wedding.
Teresa told E! News that she did apologize to Joe after the reunion. “I don’t know why it got out of hand. I love him. I adore my brother,” Teresa stated. “I apologized to him for what I said. And that’s it.”
As for the drama about Melissa not being in her wedding, Teresa was “shocked” that Melissa and Joe even cared. The RHONJ star said, “I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal at all. And she said she’s fine with it now.” I think Teresa has a sprinkle cookie delivery in her future.
But Teresa isn’t ready to let go of her anger at Margaret Josephs for asking about Louie’s past. Teresa explained, “I just felt like if Margaret was my real friend, and how she said she was concerned for me, she wouldn’t have been doing what she was doing.”
She continued, “My real friends that are concerned wouldn’t keep going on and on and on and she kept going on and on and on. It’s like, if someone told me to stop, I would stop.” Yet Teresa is going on and on about this even after Louie told her to stop. Just saying.
According to Teresa, all the drama has brought her and Louie even closer together. “My poor baby. I felt so bad for him,” Teresa said, “I’m glad he’s still around because he could’ve been like ‘See ya.'”
While Teresa wouldn’t say whether her nuptials were going to be televised, she did discuss her future on RHONJ. “I’m gonna ride it out ’til the end. I’m excited. New chapter, new beginning,” Teresa remarked. “Of course, I want you guys to come along for the ride. [I’m] working on myself so I want you guys to see all that. I want you guys to be proud of me.”

Well, they wanted to modernize the British monarchy and here we are. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, will be optimizing access to their lives by working with a Netflix film crew. The duo, who stepped down from official royal duties and moved to North America in early 2020, will star in a Netflix docuseries about the life they created after leaving Great Britain.
Meghan and Harry signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix in 2020, and it’s time to deliver the goods. A “pound of flesh” if you will, and certainly a hefty price to pay.
Page Six described the project as an, “at-home with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex-style.” An official release date has yet to be announced. Netflix wants the series to coincide with Prince Harry’s memoir release at the end of 2022. However, the Sussexes prefer to push the release into 2023. A producer confirmed, “the timing is still being discussed, things are up in the air.”
The bottom line is Meghan and Prince Harry received a staggering amount of money from the streaming giant and are expected to deliver the goods, a.k.a. access to their lives and potentially to the royal family as well. Word is that the couple’s Montecito, California home isn’t off limits either.
Netflix film crew followed the couple during their trip to New York City in September 2021. More recently, Meghan and Harry were being filmed at the Invictus Games in the Netherlands. That footage will create a mini film called, “Heart of Invictus.”
“I think it’s fair to say that Netflix is getting its pound of flesh,” a Hollywood insider told Page Six.
Meghan’s animated series “Pearl” was scrapped last month, along with a laundry list of shows that Netflix axed in the hopes of off-setting massive financial losses amid lowering viewership. Archewell Productions was meant to play a pivotal role in “Pearl” with Meghan as executive producer. Sir Elton John’s husband David Furnish was to join her. The show was centered around the activities of a 12-year-old girl who found inspiration from famous historical women.
So while the story of a young girl, presumably modeled off Meghan herself, didn’t really sell, access to the royal family will. The couple popped in to see the Queen just before her 96th birthday en route to the Netherlands. Harry was paid handsomely for a post-visit interview where he shared some private conversations with his grandmother. He also famously claimed that he wanted to make sure the monarch was well taken care of.
That visit with the Queen scored the couple an invite to the Platinum Jubilee next month. This event is meant to celebrate the monarch’s 70 year reign, a celebration of her life of service. Presumably, Meghan and Harry plan to use the event to officially introduce 11-month old daughter Lilibet Diana to the great-grandmother that she was named after.
However, the Palace officially announced that the Sussexes will not be appearing on the royal balcony on opening day. What a media circus that would be. Presumably, palace insiders and courtiers are concerned about privacy and whether the couple will be trailed by film crew or recording devices. Because with a multi-million deal on the line, Meghan and Harry must deliver. And their main selling point seems to be unfiltered access to the royal family. Time to merch!

Ben Higgins and his then-fiancée Jessica Clarke made an unusual (for Bachelor Nation) decision in their relationship that Ben says ultimately strengthened their bond before marriage.
During an appearance on the Talking It Out podcast (as relayed by People), the former Bachelor star opened up about how the couple “successfully accomplished” their “mission” to abstain from pre-marital sex. Ben also explained how this journey made them stronger.
“There’s multiple angles to why that decision was made, right,” Ben began. “I think people hear it from the outside and they assume it was strictly a faith decision. A religious decision might be the better way to explain that. It wasn’t solely that.”
“We both believe in Jesus. That is something that is at the foundation, the corner of our life. It is what we try to have everything come out of,” he continued. “We also, because of that, do believe that sex is sacred. We believe it is something very powerful. Something very important to consider and hold dear, to talk about, to express. We also believe it’s an awesome thing. It’s a gift.”
Ben, who starred on Season 20 of The Bachelor (after making his initial appearance on Season 11 of The Bachelorette) was previously engaged to Lauren Bushnell. And while Ben had previously engaged in physical intimacy, Jessica had not. This led to a conversation between the couple to decide how they would proceed forward.
“We both talked it out and said, ‘What is the wise thing to do here for us?’ ” he said. “It was, ‘Hey, you’ve worked so hard to keep this moment special for you, and I have had failed relationships where that has been a part of my life. And so, let’s try. Like, let’s see what happens there because we have a whole life together.’ ”
But that plan had its challenges, especially when the COVID-19 pandemic began. Ben said the couple, who got engaged in March 2020, “didn’t think COVID was going to shut down our wedding.”
“So the question was, what came of that? . . . It wasn’t easy. So it forced us to grow stronger together in our commitment to each other,” Ben continued. “It also got us really excited for when we did get married. There was something very special there. Something that we were going to work through as a married couple when we had already committed our lives to each other.”
Ben went on, “Finally, I think there was a level, too, where because that physical part of our relationship was not an option, it forced us and allowed us to communicate with our words a lot easier. So we talked things out.”
Ben and Jessica exchanged vows in November 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee.
As their relationship continues to progress, welcoming children together is hopefully in their future. Ben has previously been quoted as saying, “It’s in the back of my head a lot that I really want a family.”
Wishing these newlyweds the best!
