Aside from knowing all the steps, part of competing in Dancing with the Stars includes being confident about how you look. Joey Graziadei didn’t want them to see him sweat, so he took steps to prevent it.

On September 23, The Bachelor alum posted a TikTok from Velour Medical, where he received botox injections in his armpits. Ouch.

“Botox in the underarms treats hyperhidrosis & helps reduce pit stains,” the medical spa’s caption read. Hyperhidrosis is the medical term for excessive sweating.

While Joey hasn’t made any comment about the procedure, he seemed to handle the injections fairly easily. Some TikTok users took note of his calm demeanor.

“He’s so intensely focused,” one commented.

Others were grateful to the medical facility for bringing visibility to the embarrassing condition of excessive sweating. “Thank you for raising awareness for hyperhidrosis!” wrote another user.

Others expressed surprise that the procedure even existed and commented that they would be interested in trying it. “Wow. Didn’t even know they have this procedure,” wrote another commenter, adding a “mind blown” emoji for emphasis.

Joey credits both Kelsey and Jenna for his success so far

Joey’s partner/coach on the dance competition show is professional dancer Jenna Johnson. At the September 17 premiere of Season 33, Joey told People he was “very nervous” but looked forward to showing off his new dance moves.

“It’s nice to have [Jenna] as a safe space, and [I’m] trying to just hone in and hopefully breathe,” Joey said at the time. “But we got through it. I felt great about it, and it’s nice to get one done.”

He also gives credit for his success so far to his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson. He says she’s helped him face the exhausting rehearsal schedule and cheering him on during every performance.

“I’m so lucky to have a supportive fiancée,” the tennis pro gushed. “I texted her immediately after I was done and said, ‘Did I make you proud?’ I just want her to be so happy with how I do this season. But also, she’s giving a lot to be here with me, and I know I’m gone a lot, too.”

During their first performance, Joey and Jenna danced the Cha Cha, receiving a total score of 21/30.

“I was told anything six or higher, I should be stoked,” he said. “So the fact that I got three sevens to start off, I saw [Jenna’s] reaction … her reaction … was shocked.”

“I’m nervous to watch it back because I think my eyes were popped out of my head!” Jenna laughed.

Dancing with the Stars airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC and Disney+.

Smart Real Housewives Who Didn’t Bank on Reality TV Being a Career

Photo Credit: Mike Coppola/Getty Images

Vicki Gunvalson’s recent comments regarding a Real Housewives career have this writer thinking. The OG of the OC unleashed her wrath on Alexis Bellino, who noted that her Bravo “career” wasn’t showing her in the best light. Vicki took offense to claiming that a reality TV show could be considered a job role, noting the ‘friend of’ has a rude awakening coming her way. But in retrospect, I’d argue that most Real Housewives stars have thought about the bigger picture and made a name for themselves away from Bravo just in case they were ever axed. 

Bethenny Frankel built an empire

Even though Bethenny Frankel burned every bridge she ever had with the network, this woman hustled. When she joined the Real Housewives of New York, Bethenny wasn’t known for her business savvy, but she always trusted her gut when it came to signing a contract. Even though she was only paid $7,250 for her first season, Bethenny shared in an Instagram post that she didn’t let the network take a percentage of anything she made on her own, noting it was a move that “changed my entire life.” 

Bethenny founded Skinnygirl in 2009 with her Skinnygirl Margarita. The constant advertising of her company on the series worked out well for Bethenny, who was seen peddling her products in supermarkets. Now, a self-made woman, Bethenny is laughing all the way to the bank. Meanwhile, Bravo had to come up with a clause for future reality stars to give a portion of their non-TV earnings to the network. Essentially, Bethenny paved the way for Real Housewives to make a living off of something other than a family feud. 

Meredith Marks has a passion for jewelry

Before Meredith Marks was a fan favorite on the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, she was a lawyer in the big city. Clearly, the mother never dreamed she’d end up on reality TV and, luckily, had a career to fall back on. Meredith once told E! “I’m not a practicing lawyer. I never have been a practicing lawyer. But I am a licensed lawyer, and I do have the background and the education.” Meredith was a smart cookie as she studied fine arts as an undergraduate. She worked as a model and then attended graduate school at Northwestern University. Mer earned two diplomas: her law degree and an MM from the Kellogg Business School.

She also worked in real estate development and owned a health club in between lawyer stuff. Meredith has never been one to rest on her laurels. The RHOSLC star first launched her jewelry line in 2009 during the recession. 

Melissa Gorga gave fans Envy

A post shared by Melissa Gorga (@melissagorga)

After years of being loved for her fashion choices, Melissa Gorga of the Real Housewives of New Jersey launched a clothing boutique called Envy by Melissa Gorga in Montclair, New Jersey. The fashion of 2015 was memorable as she sold trucker hats and furry boots. But Melissa’s store has come a long way. Believe me, I know, as I am a loyal customer of her Ridgewood location. Envy is doing well, and Melissa just opened another location in Huntington, NY.

The clothing store is no longer a passion project for which Joe Gorga once mocked her. Melissa runs a successful business and has employees that work for her. Melissa has even launched an online portal where fans can shop to drop. The store features dresses, bottoms, tops, rompers, and loungewear. In 2020, Melissa even added menswear. 

Kandi Burruss is flying high on her success

 This peach is a jack of all trades. Kandi Burruss is an actress, businesswoman, dancer, producer, singer, songwriter, and television personality. She often burned the candle at both ends, but she never was at a loss for what to do next. As Bravo viewers saw, Kandi was a successful entrepreneur. She owned an adult toy line named Bedroom Kandi. She also opened several restaurants, which were filmed for a successful spinoff.

Needless to say, many Real Housewives have thought way past their stints on their respective franchises. These women are movers and shakers who don’t want to be left behind when their 15 minutes of fame come to an end. Viewers everywhere can take advice from these women who know they are happily basking in the rays of their success.

Why Christine Brown Is Starting To Look like the Sister Wives Villain

Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

As the newest season of Sister Wives finally got underway, Christine Brown hasn’t exactly been cast in the best light. The fan favorite had fans rejoicing when she announced she had left Kody Brown after 25 years of marriage. But Season 19 shows a side to Christine that isn’t becoming. The mother of six has boasted quite a bit on her social media. But now she even mocks Kody in her TLC confessionals, rubbing some viewers the wrong way. 

Christine Brown is holding Kody Brown’s hands to the flames

Now, I am all about holding Kody accountable for being a bad husband. I am starting to feel like Christine is going a bit too far. Since her divorce, the Utah native has moved on and found love again. However, Christine and her new husband, David Woolley, seem to be making a living by posting digs that are aimed at Kody. One post showed the couple chowing down on nachos and laughing. The Sister Wives star wrote, “He likes the way I eat my nachos.” The Instagram post was a direct hit at Kody for once, stating in the family book, “I will be honest, I was not attracted to Christine in any kind of physical sense. The nachos grossed me out enough to make me go, ‘OK, I’m waiting to marry her.'”

The father of 18 noted that he couldn’t stand how she shoveled them into her mouth and let the grease drip. However, David posted a birthday shoutout saying, “Happy Birthday! I love eating nachos with you, My Queen!” David managed to win over an entire fandom with one single post. But the couple has since posted another nacho update, and now it seems like Christine just can’t let it go, and it feels petty. 

Christine Brown might have been a problematic sister wife

Okay, this is an unpopular opinion, but I think Christine probably wasn’t the easiest sister-wife to get along with. As a viewer who has watched the series religiously for the last ten years, I can see how Kody became disillusioned with Christine because she did change. As the seasons went on, Christine became a poison to the family due to her constant negativity. Most of it was due to her extreme jealousy and seeing Kody favor his fourth and favorite wife, but she morphed into a green-eyed monster.

The season premiere showed Christine having to coexist with Kody at their daughter’s baby shower. Honestly, it was uncomfortable to watch. Clearly, the patriarch was uncomfortable, but Christine played on his discomfort. At the time, Kody shared, “I can’t fake this off. Seeing her, there’s so much animosity. It’s all something that embarrasses me because I think it’s all very childish.” But Christine went a step further, sharing, “I’m not going to necessarily say hi that would be disingenuous. That would mean I was going to be friends and friendly, and I’m not. I’m not going to be friendly.” The entire moment felt very icky. 

Christine Brown’s actions as of late feel extra dramatic

Again, I was so Team Christine until this season. While I am by no means supporting Kody, I just can’t kick the feeling that Christine is playing up the drama for the Sister Wives cameras. The former wife of Kody had a way of coming across as phony with an annoying cheerleader attitude. In Season 18, she always tried to make a joke out of everything. Christine could gloss over things with a ‘let’s keep things moving’ personality. While that may have very well been her coping mechanism in a crappy family dynamic, she is now out and should be happier. Instead, I find she is channeling her inner Wednesday Adams as if she has her own little storm cloud following her around.

Christine is making it a point to note that she does not have a plural family but rather a sister-wife unit because she only gets along with Janelle Brown. During the premiere episode, Christine made it crystal clear that she would not be seeing Meri Brown again. Between filming, rumors started spreading that Christine’s children had a significant issue with Meri and their upbringing. Instead of addressing it in Season 19, Christine skirted around the subject but still made digs at Kody’s first wife. 

Right now, Christine is being as dramatic as she can, and that is because she wants to keep viewers’ eyes off her and on Kody. But if she were to look into an enchanted mirror, I don’t think it would tell her she is the fairest of the Browns anymore.

Big Brother 26: Who Are the Biggest Heroes and Villains of the Season?

Photo Credit: Sonja Flemming/CBS via Getty Images

Big Brother 26 is heating up. The houseguests are dwindling and we have officially entered the jury phase of the game. As we inch closer to the finale, let’s take a moment to reflect on some of the houseguests’ performances in the game. Some players have stood out as “heroes,” while others have earned the title of “villain.”

Here is who I believe are the Biggest Heroes and Villains of BB26…

Big Brother 26: Angela Murray – Villain

Angela Murray is one of the best “villains” we’ve had in years. Her villain arc began in Week 1 when she targeted houseguest Matt Hardeman during her HOH reign. She painted a target on Matt’s back by telling the house he “verbally assaulted” her in her room. Her chaotic speech resulted in his eviction and kickstarted Angela’s villainous journey in the BB house.

Her next victim was Tucker Des Lauriers. The two were working together and even had a final two before Angela decided to turn on him. She suspected he was more loyal to his showmance Rubina Bernabe than her, so she hatched a plan to get him out of the house. It was villainous and chaotic, but it was great TV.

This week, she managed to get off the block by planting a seed that Leah Peters and Quinn Martin were a dangerous duo in the house. She has flipped on her closest ally so many times that I’ve started to lose count.

She’s a fascinating player to watch. She’s managed to have the Veto used on her three times despite not being in many alliances. It may not be a winning game but there is no doubt she is a compelling player.

Big Brother 26: Chelsie Baham – Hero

Chelsie Baham is my winner’s pick. There’s no doubt she’s playing a great game. She’s managed to form strong connections in the house and has positioned herself as a leader. She’s smart, strategic, and she knows when to keep her mouth shut (a skill many BB26 players lack).

She’s ambitious and will do what she needs to win, but I wouldn’t describe her gameplay as cutthroat or manipulative. She’s got a strong moral compass and I believe she’ll get to the end without souring relationships or creating enemies. Her jury management is incredible.

I see Chelsie as a “hero” in the house. She’s straightforward and true to her word but she’s not a boring player. She’s put in the work to get herself into a winning position. I wouldn’t be mad if she leaves the house $750,000 richer.

Big Brother 26: Leah Peters – Villain

I love how Leah is playing Big Brother, but it is pretty villainous. Her gameplay style is a throwback to the classic floater strategy of Big Brother 4 players Jun Song and Alison Irwin. Like Jun and Alison, her loyalties are never written in stone. Each week, she accesses who has the power and that is her bestie for the week. Respect. While some people may be thrown off by the “floater” strategy, we have to acknowledge how successful it can be. Jun won Season 4 by sucking up to whoever could keep her off the block that week.

It’s been a while since we saw someone truly display a floater strategy. It takes a lot of charm and charisma to get away with and we haven’t seen someone pull it off in a bit. Being a floater is different than being a “coaster.” We’ve seen many players coast through without actively playing. But “floating” is an active game strategy. It takes work to be a floater.

Big Brother 26: Tucker Des Lauriers – Hero

Tucker was the people’s prince in Big Brother 26. He played boldly and protected the people he cared about. He was to put it simply, heroic. He took huge chances and didn’t play it safe. We could debate all day about whether he played a good game but I think it is clear he was a hero of the season. He kept viewers on their toes and wasn’t afraid to go against the grain. Sure, he made a couple of enemies but he also had blindly loyal allies that would’ve followed him off a cliff. That’s impressive.

Big Brother airs Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays on CBS and Paramount +

Everything To Know about Sister Wives Star Janelle Brown’s New Farm After Divorce

Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

It’s all happening for Janelle Brown! Even though it might have taken the Sister Wives star a bit longer to leave, Kody Brown, the mother of six, is finally making her own dreams come true. After the tragic death of her son, it is nice to see Janelle looking at the bright side of life. With a new farm project to tackle, fans eagerly await updates about how farm life is going. 

Kody Brown isn’t keeping Janelle Brown up to date on Coyote Pass

Episode 2 of Season 19 showed Janelle becoming very frustrated with her ex-husband due to his lack of communication. Janelle is aware that the land payment is due in a few months. Naturally, she worries that the family will lose everything they have worked for. Janelle opened up about how she wanted to have her name on Robyn Brown’s Flagstaff house if she was putting money into it. However, she alleged that Kody wouldn’t allow her to put her name on the mortgage at the time. Janelle revealed, “When I put the money into the house, I said, ‘Well, I think it would be fair if all of our names were on the mortgage. And he’s like, ‘No, no, we need to protect, you know, protect Robyn’s estate. She needs to have it so it’s hers and so it’s ours.’”

Janelle’s conversation made sense, as she wanted to recoup some of the money that she had invested in the home. But Robyn acted confused at the request. Noting in her confessional, “When Janelle’s bringing up that Kody and I owe her something, it’s like, how do you, how do you calculate? How do you figure that out? It’s so confusing.” 

Janelle Brown paid off Coyote Pass

In June, news broke that Janelle had been able to pay off what was owed on Coyote Pass, ensuring she wouldn’t lose her parcel. The U.S. Sun revealed documents that showed the deed had been handed over to the family. The Browns purchased the land in 2018 for $820,000 and had been talking about building on the land for seasons. The outlet shared that Kody and Janelle paid off the plot of land in their name. The former couple also paid off an additional plot in Robyn’s name that was purchased for $170,000 each. 

The deed of release shows that the amount owed to Fidelity National Title Agency was “fully paid” on June 2, 2023. The original plan was to split the land into five parcels, including a separate house for Kody. But as the wives drifted away, the polygamous dream seemed to evaporate into thin air. Janelle was the only wife who ever realistically thought about building her homestead on the land. At one point, she even bought a luxury RV that Kody was less than impressed with. However, Janelle is now moving on to bigger and better ideas for herself.

Janelle Brown is starting her own farm

A post shared by janellebrown117 (@janellebrown117)

In an exciting turn of events, Janelle announced that she and her daughter, Maddie, would be starting their very own family farm. As Sister Wives viewers know, Janelle has always had a love of gardening but found Flagstaff a tough environment. In an Instagram post, Janelle posed with her hands in the air. She wrote, “I am beyond excited to finally share our passion project with you—TAEDA FARMS! We’d love to invite you to come along on this wild, messy, and beautiful journey as we build Taeda Farms from the ground up.”

Janelle joked “It’s definitely not always glamorous—there’s plenty of sweat, dirt, and learning along the way—but every single step is getting us closer to something truly special. We’re turning hard work and heart into something beautiful, and we want you to be a part of it all!” The U.S. Sun confirmed that Janelle quietly filed for a business license with the North Carolina Secretary of State office for Taeda Farms on March 26, 2024. She and Maddie purchased 156.4 acres of land in April 2024 for $289,000 in Camapwa, North Carolina. It’s nice to see Janelle embracing her passions as getting her hands dirty.

Every 90 Day Fiancé Star Who’s Been Fired by TLC

Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

The 90 Day Fiancé franchise has been going strong for the last ten years. Throughout the past decade, the franchise has aired dozens of seasons of many different spin-offs. Of course, this has led to fans getting to know hundreds of cast members from all around the world. As the show revolves around Americans who date a foreign partner, about half of the cast is generally from overseas. When it comes to diversity, 90 Day Fiancé beats just about any other reality television show.

While every individual cast on 90 Day Fiancé has to complete a background check, producers don’t always catch everything. Throughout the show’s history, several cast members have been fired after problematic content from their past resurfaces. On the other hand, others have been let go of for behaviors they took part in after filming. Several cast members seem to have been fired but were never confirmed by the franchise. These are all of the 90 Day Fiancé cast members TLC has fired, both definitively and allegedly.

Fired by TLC: Lisa Hamme

Lisa Hamme was fired from the franchise following her appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: Before The 90 Days Season 4. During Season 4, Lisa married her ex-husband Usman Umar. The marriage didn’t last long, however, and the former couple had a messy split. Usman then revealed that Lisa had called him the n-word on numerous occasions, which she didn’t deny. As a result of the inappropriate racial slur, TLC fired Lisa and cut ties with her immediately. This was important, as it showed that TLC doesn’t accept any form of racism whatsoever.

Fired by TLC: Geoffrey Paschel

Geoffrey Paschel is another controversial cast member from Before The 90 Days Season 4. During Season 4, Geoffrey traveled to Russia to meet his girlfriend Varya Malina. While Geoffrey’s segments with Varya aired, the couple was later excluded from the Tell All. After the season, disturbing details from Geoffrey’s past began to emerge. In particular, Geoffrey was the defendant in a domestic abuse case involving his ex. Geoffrey is now in prison, where he is serving an 18-year sentence.

Fired by TLC: Alina Kozhevnikova

Alina Kozhevnikova was featured on Before The 90 Days Season 5 with her former partner Caleb Greenwood. The pair had been friends for years but never officially dated. After meeting in person, however, Caleb decided he couldn’t commit to Alina. While viewers saw a lot of their story, it was later cut short due to Alina being fired from the franchise. Several racially insensitive comments Alina had previously made were uncovered on social media and TLC fired her instantly. Neither Alina nor Caleb participated in the Season 5 Tell All.

Fired by TLC: Larissa Lima

Larissa Lima appeared with her ex-husband Colt Johnson on both the OG show and 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?. From the jump, Colt and Larissa had a problematic relationship. Eventually, Larissa was even arrested after Colt claimed she had committed domestic battery. This wasn’t the reason for her firing, however, as she still filmed for some time after this. Larissa was later let go of by TLC after joining the adult streaming website CamSoda.

Fired by TLC: Brandan DeNuccio and Mary Demasu-ay – Allegedly

Photo credit: TLC via YouTube

TLC never confirmed that Brandan DeNuccio and Mary Demasu-ay were fired from the network. However, fellow 90 Day Fiancé star Statler Riley insisted that they were. Following their appearance on 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way Season 5, Brandan and Mary spoiled their relationship status online. The couple shared pictures confirming they were still together and of their daughter Midnight, who hadn’t yet been born on the show. This seemingly violated their NDA, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if they were fired.

Fired by TLC: Nicole Sherbiny and Mahmoud El Sherbiny – Allegedly

Photo Credit: TLC via YouTube

Nicole Sherbiny and her husband Mahmoud El Sherbiny are another couple who were allegedly let go by TLC. The couple first appeared on The Other Way Season 4 and later went on to star on Happily Ever After? Season 8. Before the premiere of Season 8, news broke that Mahmoud had been arrested for domestic violence against Nicole. The couple’s story aired for a few episodes but later stopped mid-season. As neither Nicole nor Mahmoud participated in the Tell All, viewers began to speculate that they may have been fired.

Tamra Judge Responds to Fans Claiming She’s Too ‘Mean’ to Shannon Beador

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images

The Queen of Mean stepped it up this season. Tamra Judge has always been the villain on Real Housewives of Orange County. But Season 18 of the franchise has shown viewers why the show had a hard time surviving without her at one point.

Tamra always brings the drama, even drama that crosses a line. This is what some fans think of how Tamra has been treating her castmate Shannon Beador.

Now Tamra is responding to her critics, in true Tamra fashion.

Tamra Judge calls herself “reactive”

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Tamra Judge (@tamrajudge)

“I’m being reactive, for sure,” Tamra told Us Weekly. “Was I being sweet? No.”

While Tamra isn’t exactly apologizing, she does have some regrets. Mainly comments she made surrounding Shannon’s 2023 DUI arrest.

“I do regret ever calling her an alcoholic,” Tamra stated. “I do regret that, but at that point, I was just pushed against the wall and I’m like, you know what? It’s very hard for me since I’ve known her and the struggles with alcohol and getting in an accident, getting a DUI and still drinking. I can’t wrap my brain around that at all. At all.”

The RHOC vet went on to say, “And one might say, ‘Oh, well, you get drunk on the show and you act like an ass.’ Yes, I do. I am somebody that definitely can’t handle more than two drinks, and it’s because I don’t drink that much. But when I film, I tend to think I need a little bit of liquid courage. [And] liquid courage turns [me] into a straight a——.”

Despite all the animosity, Tamra has high hopes for working things out at the reunion.

“I really am hoping that we can move past it. I don’t think that we’ll ever be best friends like that,” she said. “I really just want her to realize I wasn’t out to hurt her. I have been there for her forever.”

Not so fast, Tamra

But comments that Shannon made back in July indicate that the QVC maven might not be so open to a reconciliation.

“I don’t [think we’ll be friends again] because I now can look back and see pretty much every season that I’ve been in with Tamra, there’s always an issue that she has with me,” Shannon said at the time.

“Either I did something or didn’t do something, and it’s OK, we don’t need to be friends then,” she added. “She says she walks on eggshells around me. I’m sorry that you feel that way, but I walked on eggshells around her.”

The Real Housewives of Orange County airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and new episodes stream on Peacock the next day.

Teresa Giudice Thought Her Daughter Gabriella Would ‘Hook Up’ With Jacqueline Laurita’s Son

Photo Credit: Charles Sykes/Bravo via Getty Images

Teresa Giudice is sharing some of her musings about her kids. She had former Real Housewives of New Jersey bestie Jacqueline Laurita to reminisce about the good old days when their kids were growing up together. It turns out, both Jersey moms thought that CJ Laurita and Gabriella Giudice might have gotten together.

Some of the Real Housewives kids grew up on camera. And fans are interested to hear what some of the second generation stars are up to. Though Teresa and Jacqueline’s kids did not end up dating, the proud moms gave an update on what Gabriella and CJ are up to.

Gabriella and CJ “were best friends” before the Laurita family left New Jersey

Jacqueline, who left RHONJ in Season 8, joined Teresa on her podcast, Turning the Tables. “Her and CJ were always, like, really close. They would always hang out together,” Jacqueline said.

Teresa agreed that the kids “were best friends” growing up. The moms would joke that Gabriella and CJ would end up romantically involved when they were older. However, the Laurita family moved to Las Vegas in 2019.

“We used to always say they’re going to hook up. You know. But then they moved away,” Teresa explained.

Jacqueline shared a picture of her elder son on social media in April. CJ is embracing his girlfriend Gia in the photo. The family now reside in California.

“This is his gorgeous, sweet girlfriend Gia ( @giarestivo @shopgiasvintage ) that he’s known since the 5th grade. They’re like an old married couple. They are very cute.,” the former RHONJ star captioned the photo.

Gabriella is studying finance at the University of Michigan. Teresa shared that her daughter is due to start an internship next month.

Meanwhile, the future of Real Housewives of New Jersey is up in the air after a disastrous season. For the first time in Real Housewives history, the cast split to film the reunion. If that’s any indication of not knowing where to go from there, it’s RHONJ.
