Former Dancing with the Stars pro Cheryl Burke retired from the ballroom after Season 31. She had hoped to stay on the show in another role, such as a co-host or judge. But for whatever reason, it didn’t work out. Instead, former dancer and judge Julianne Hough returned to co-host Season 32 of DWTS with Alfonso Ribeiro.

After former head judge Len Goodman passed away, the Mirrorball Trophy was renamed in his honor. Xochitl Gomez and her partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were the first to win the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy. What a wonderful way to honor Len’s legacy with the show!

When the pro dancers performed a special tribute for Len, many former pros returned. But Cheryl wasn’t invited to participate. And she seems to have some feelings about it.

Cheryl dissed the mirrorball trophy

Cheryl recently revealed on her podcast, Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans, that her Mirrorball Trophies weren’t adorning a place of honor in her home. “It’s so cheap. The second season and third season of the Mirrorball Trophies were made of lampshades,” Cheryl explained. “Cute, yeah. It was like a joke, but not a joke.”

She added, “That’s why mine is completely like, in the trash, because the mirrors have fallen off one by one.” Yikes!

She took home the Mirrorball with Drew Lachey during the second season and won with Emmitt Smith during the third season. I understand that Cheryl must be hurt because she was snubbed for the tribute to Len. But in the trash? That makes Cheryl seem bitter, at best.

Meanwhile, she hasn’t left DWTS in the past completely. She chats with pros and contestants on her podcast, getting to share some behind-the-scenes scoop with fans. The premise of her podcast sounds interesting. At this point, even if she trashed the show, she has nothing to lose.

You can binge Season 32 of Dancing with the Stars on Disney+.

She’s so glad Juan Dixon is here right now. Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Potomac was a difficult one for Robyn Dixon. Her husband lost his job, and suspicions of an affair came to light shortly after filming wrapped.

Juan worked as the head coach of the men’s basketball team at Coppin State University, and the topic of his termination comes up quite a bit with the cast on Season 8. In a notable exchange, Candiace Dillard Bassett suggested that Robyn’s public comments about allegations made against Juan resulted in his termination.

But in real time, Robyn and Juan are putting all the drama behind them. And Juan has made a surprising decision regarding the future of his career.

Robyn appeared on the January 7 episode of Watch What Happens Live to share Juan’s career plans. She also updated fans on how they’ve been doing as a couple after questionable moves by the former NBA player.

Andy Cohen had Robyn play a game of “We Juan-A-Know!” in which she answered a handful of questions about her husband. The topic of Juan’s current employment status came up.

“No, he decided to spend the year off and [to] spend more time with the family, and with the kids,” she answered about whether he had found another coaching job.

Instead, Juan is focusing on sharing his skills in a philanthropic manner by “volunteering with my son’s high school team.”

The couple share sons, Corey and Carter. And Juan is enjoying spending more time with them. Robyn revealed, “He appreciates it now.”

Andy replied, “I’m sure the boys appreciate it, too.”

“They do. We all do,” Robyn added.

The Dixons are seemingly in a more peaceful place now. During RHOP Season 8, Episode 7, Robyn revealed that her husband “is hurting.”

“Juan being fired, it’s like a part of him has been taken away from him,” she explained during a confessional interview. “Seeing him go through this with no plan, that really hurts my heart for my husband.”

Thankfully, Juan had a solid contract in place that allowed him to take time off for his family.

“Financially, things are the same. You know, even though he lost his job, Juan had 15 months left on his contract, so he was paid for 15 months of work,” she said at the time. “Hopefully, Juan gets a new job in 15 months before, you know, then we have to start making changes. But, financially, we’re good.”

For the sake of their family, it’s nice to know that there is peace in the Dixon household. As for the RHOP drama, it seems that Juan is the husband under fire this season.

Catch The Real Housewives of Potomac, Sundays at 8/7c on Bravo.

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky Being Petty With Each Other Amid Separation

Most estranged couples try to keep matters civil at the beginning of the separation, especially if children are involved. But it’s hard to keep that mutual goodwill when each side is moving forward with their lives. At some point, the reasons why they split in the first place become more apparent. It seems that Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky had that moment over the holidays.

Some of The Agency founder’s antics raised eyebrows, and provided some context for where Mauricio’s priorities lie post-split. He’s out partying, taking his shirt off whenever the opportunity arises.

Mo is getting on Kyle’s nerves. She might be down to her last nerve, if this sort of behavior continues.

Mauricio “touched a nerve” with Kyle in Aspen

A post shared by Kyle Richards Umansky (@kylerichards18)

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and her estranged husband “agreed to spend the holidays together in Colorado” an insider told Star Magazine, via OK! Magazine. The idea was to bring their four daughters together under one roof.

But Mauricio made headlines during a night out on the town in Aspen spent with decades-younger social influencers including 31-year-old Alexandra Wolfe and Lele Pons, 27. According to a source close to the former couple, it was a breach of their protocol.

“Kyle and Mauricio are allowing each other to do what they want, provided they don’t do anything embarrassing,” the insider explained. “Mauricio has clearly touched a nerve.”

For her part, it was speculated for months that Kyle was dating country singer Morgan Wade.

“There’s no denying they push each other’s buttons,” the insider explained. “But they’re going to continue to look the other way – or try to.”

The reason? Some speculate that they don’t want to divorce due to their net worth of $100 million.

As for spending the holidays together, Kyle explained in a recent interview that she does “feel happy,” but is “also still struggling.”

“It’s all new to me,” she continued. “I’ve been married my whole life. We still in the same house and we spent [the holidays’ together. I have no idea how long we’ll be like that, but we are trying to be as normal as possible in a very un-normal situation.”

“We love each other,” Kyle added. She continued: “We go to therapy. We both want to see each other happy. I don’t know what the future looks like. That’s the hardest part because the unknown is scary.”

Hopefully, Mauricio’s antics haven’t had a massive impact. But it will be insightful to see how their interactions are moving forward. Meanwhile, the marital drama is playing out on RHOBH.

Catch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Wednesdays at 8/7c on Bravo.
