Danielle Maltby Gets Candid About Paul Calafiore Cheating Scandal

Danielle Maltby is trying to move on. Really, she is. But The Bachelor alum was burned so very badly by ex-boyfriend Paulie Calafiore and his wandering penis that sometimes she doesn’t know if she’ll ever kiss again. “I am really struggling today… I don’t want to get out of bed even though I have tons of sh-t to get done before the Holidays,” Maltby wrote on Wednesday as a caption to a black-and-white image of herself. She added, likely through years: “Control the controllable they say. Well, I’ve tried that. I don’t like to show all my vulnerability, because it gets taken advantage of along with my love and kindness. “Most days I feel myself hardening since my relationship ended. I honestly believed I had found my person. He was everything to me. “Now the thought of dating leaves me terrified to let anyone in. It’s not like I have anything to give out anyway. “I’m trying to wrap any love I still have in me around myself.” Back in June, Calafiore (Big Brother, Ex on the Beach) confessed that he had been sticking it to Cara Maria Sorbello (The Challenge) while in a relationship with Maltby. “I am not proud of my actions these past weeks,” he told E! News at the time, ashamedly adding: “I know they speak louder than these words. I have destroyed the one person that has believed in and brought out the best in me. I have many things I need to work on and repair internally. “I want to be better. I know I haven’t earned it, but I ask for patience and privacy while I work on repairing myself.” Danielle works as a neonatal nurse and competed on Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor in 2017, prior to briefly appearing on Bachelor in Paradise. Her fiance, Nick Haag, actually died from an apparent drug overdose in 2011. Therefore, “I’ve been in this place before,” she continued on Instagram, but “this is different. You’re still here… “I’ve been slowly draining since the lies started and my ex cheated on me. The people that know and love me, see how much this has taken from me, especially physically. “The “revenge bod” I’ve tried to joke about isn’t some new diet trend, it’s because I’ve been physically sick from the anxiety, stress, grief and lies inflicted on me for months.” Yikes. We feel awful for Maltby. Danielle went on to say that Paul – who is still in a relationship with Cara – has continued to contact her and wants to be unblocked because “we are important in each other’s lives,” in his words. “I made a lot of excuses trying to rationalize his behavior and I wasn’t able to come to terms with the fact he was able to hurt me like this,” she says. “I believe I was shown the person he wants to be but something is holding him back from it.” How can he possibly still want Maltby in his life? Danielle has a theory: “Somewhere in his mind, he has made himself believe that it’s ok to continue to tell me he needs me, misses me, still loves me and wants to fix everything. “Actions speak louder than words. “Today, I can’t explain today. I’ve just had enough… “Some days are ok, some are really good and I had a great night last night, but today, my place is a mess and I can’t get out of bed and honestly, I just hurt. I’m working on it though.” We’ve all been there, right? At least in some extent, in some way. Maltby concluded her post with a yellow heart emoji. All we can say in response is to hang in there because this, like all heartbreak, really will pass. Even if it doesn’t feel that way right now. And also: You can do so much better than Calafiore. That guy sucks.

Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower: It’s Over After More Than 20 Years

As much as we enjoy acting legend Robert De Niro’s feuding with Donald Trump , De Niro has now entered a very different conflict. He and his wife, Grace Hightower, have reportedly separated and are living apart. The couple has been married for more than two decades. People reports that Robert De Niro and Grace Hightower have separated. Having married in 1997, the two of them have been together for more than twenty years. Now, they are apparently living apart. As for the reason why, People ‘s report really can’t say. All that their source reveals is that: “Sometimes things don’t work out the way you hope or want them to.” That is certainly true. De Niro is 75. Hightower is 63. The couple shares a 20-year-old son, Elliott, and a 6-year-old daughter, Helen Grace. Their daughter was born via surrogate. Notably, this is not the first time that the couple has split. In 1999, just two years after getting married and one year after their son was born, De Niro filed for divorce. The couple also engaged in a custody dispute over Elliott, who was a baby at the time. Ultimately, they reconciled, never finalizing their divorce. In 2004, they renewed their vows. De Niro has been married once before. In 1976, he married Diahnne Abbott. Together, they have a son named Raphael. De Niro also adopted Diahnne’s daughter, Drena De Niro. It is through these two that De Niro has four grandchildren. He split from Diahnne in 1988. In 1995, he had twin sons, Aaron Kendrick and Julian Henry de Niro. They were conceived via in vitro fertilization and delivered via surrogate during his relationship with Toukie Smith. Despite his generally very good political views, De Niro has not been without controversy. Part of that controversy arose from De Niro’s interest in autism, as his son Elliott is autistic. Most infamously, in 2016, many of his fans felt betrayed when he supported Vaxxed for the Tribeca Film Festival. Vaxxed is an absurd “documentary” that purportes a widely debunked theory that there’s been a cover-up over a causal link between vaccines and autism. De Niro ultimately withdrew his recommendation after discussing the film with the scientific community. (Obviously, not only do vaccines not cause autism, but even if they did, only a monster would prefer a dead neurotypical child to a living and healthy autistic kid) It came to light that Andrew Wakefield, the film’s infamous director, had been in contact with Hightower. Wakefield reportedly told the couple “your family’s life [has] been blighted by autism.” Sometimes people with special agendas target celebrities with misinformation in order to gain a platform for their ideas. Has fallout over this disagreement played a role in the downfall of this marriage? We honestly have no idea. They’ve been married since 1997, folks. All relationships, all marriages, end one way or another. Perhaps it is simply time for them to move on. Or maybe they’ll work things out again and, in a few years, they’ll renew their vows. We wish their entire family the best. View Slideshow: 19 Most Bitter Breakups in Hollywood History

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson Surprise Absolutely No One by Breaking Up

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have called off their engagement. We’ll give you a minute to recover from the shock… Wait? What’s that? You aren’t stunned at all because this was the most obvious break-up of all-time? Fair point. According to People Magazine, Us Weekly and other reliable outlets, the singer and the Saturday Night Live cast member have called off their short, albeit intense, romance. The stars started dating late this spring and then announced their engagement, like, two weeks later , taking the celebrity gossip and entertainment universe by storm. Most folks assumed Davidson and Grande were moving way too quickly and that the relationship would eventually fizzle out and… well… … that’s pretty much what has happened. “It was way too much too soon,” a source close to Grande tells People Magazine. “It’s not shocking to anyone.” This same source says the decision to go their separate ways was mutually agreed upon by both halves of the famous couple. While the split doesn’t really come as a surprise to anyone at all, there hadn’t been any recent rumors of tension at least. The latest chatter, in fact, has been centered around whether or not Grande was pregnant with Davidson’s child. The comedian himself even joked about knocking Grande up just a few weeks ago, as he and Ariana were certainly very open about the seriousness of their relationship during the four months it lasted. Alas, it is now over. “It happened this weekend,” an insider tells Us Weekly, adding: “They realized it happened too quick and too early. The wedding is off, but they’re working things out. They’re not officially done yet.” It’s unclear what Grande will do with the $100,000 engagement ring Davidson gifted her; and it’s also unclear whether the traumatic death of Grande’s ex , Mac Miller, played any role in the demise of this romance. Over the past several days, it’s been clear that Grande has been going through a lot. The artist has been Tweeting a handful of personal messages and saying she needs a break from the public spotlight, asking at point: “can i pls have one okay day. just one. pls.” Twitter users, meanwhile, reacted in many different ways to the break-up. Some were taken aback. Some were delighted. Others yawned over how clear it was to see it coming. “am i surprised that pete and ariana broke up? no. but am i supposed to be happy about that? no. imagine how she is doing right now,” wrote one person, while another added: “if you’re celebrating ariana and pete splitting, you don’t care about ariana’s happiness. Bye.” Back on September 7, Miller died of a drug overdose. He and Grande dated for about two years and didn’t split up all that long before Ariana got together with Davidson. “Given the events of the past couple of years, Ariana is going to take some much needed time to heal and mend,” her team said in September. “She will be staying close to home and using this period to spend time with her loved ones and work on new music without deadline. She thanks her fans for their understanding.” This Saturday, Grande also canceled a scheduled performance, at F–k Cancer’s inaugural Barbara Berlanti Heroes fundraising gala, where her manager Scooter Braun’s wife Yael Cohen Braun received an honor for her work as co-founder of the group. Said Braun in front of the crowd: “One of the most amazing things about this organization is that they help people when they’re having the worst moments in their life, and they give sympathy and a calm nature to people in need in those moments. “And you saw your invite, someone I’m very close to was supposed to come sing for you today, and because of things that she’s going through, she couldn’t be here today. “And while I was frustrated, being the manager, my wife, being who she always is, just looked at me and she goes, ‘She needs this time.'” We continue to wish Ariana the best. And now Davidson the best as well.

Jamie Foxx Asked About Katie Holmes, Responds Like THIS

Jamie Foxx seems like a fun-loving guy. And he and Katie Holmes seem like one of the more stable couples in Hollywood. But this doesn't mean Jamie Foxx actually wants to discuss Katie Holmes in public. The Academy Award nominee made that clear on Friday night during an interview with ESPN's Michael Smith. Talking to the network prior to a celebrity basketball game, Foxx was asked the following question by Smith, who referenced a rumor about an activity in which he and Holmes recently engaged: “I know you prepared because I saw pictures. Did you and Katie Holmes play basketball for Valentine’s Day? Like some real Love and Basketball?” Pretty innocent, right? It's not as though Foxx was asked whether Holmes was pregnant with his baby . But it wasn't innocent enough for the actor. You can see him squirm and smirk in the following video, clearly uncomfortable with the inquiry and unsure how to respond. And then he figured out that he had no interest in responding. Foxx calmly got up, received some help taking his microphone off and slowly walked away. He didn't cause a major scene, he just decided he had enough of the interview once it got remotely personal.  Foxx and Holmes have been together for about five years. This is a very serious romance,. But it's also one of the most private ones in all of entertainment, which may be why it works for them and may be why Foxx didn't want to discuss it. About that basketball rumor, though? About how they were seen on a court in Calabasas? “They were really happy,” an onlooker told Us Weekly of their Valentine's Day date, adding: “Katie was dancing as they walked in and Jamie was laughing. They seem really at ease and truly enjoying each other.” We'll just need to take this person's word for it. Watch Foxx abruptly end his ESPN interview below:

Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane: The Marriage is Over!

After 14 years, two daughters and at least one well-publicized threesome, Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane have decided to end their marriage. Or Gayheart has decided to end her marriage, to be more specific. The actress filed for divorce from her long-time husband on Friday, with Dane confirming the split to People Magazine via the following statement: “After 14 years together we have decided that ending our marriage is the best decision for our family. “We will continue our friendship and work as a team to co-parent our two beautiful girls as they are the most important thing in the world to us. “We kindly ask that you respect our privacy during this time as we navigate the next phase of our lives.” Gayheart is reportedly seeking spousal support and joint legal and physical custody of their two daughters: seven-year Billie and six-year old Georgia, 6. She cited irreconcilable differences as the cause of divorce. Gayheart is best known for movies such as Jawbreaker and Scream 2 and for a role many years ago on Beverly Hills 90210. Dane rose to television fame as Mark “McSteamy” Sloan on Grey’s Anatomy, prior to being killed off in 2012 and then landing the lead role on TNT’s The Last Ship. He took a hiatus from the show last spring due to depression and other mental health issues , about six years after he also sought professional help for an addiction to painkillers. “I took some time off… I was dealing with some depression, which was kind of odd to me,” Dane explained on July 31 as a guest host on the Today Show. He added at the time: “I felt very conflicted about it because I didn’t really feel like I had anything to be depressed about… “Now I take a medication called Pristiq … and the depression is gone … I’m doing OK.” “It’s a very serious thing,” Dane continued. “But it’s very real, and that was the scary thing when you wake up and you’re like, ‘I don’t want to get out of bed’ … this just hit me like a truck. “I had to take some time off, I went away and took care of it and I’m feeling great.” In 2009, meanwhile, Dane and Gayheart made headlines after a sex tape leaked that featured the couple in some compromising positions with a third party. The 12-minute footage depicted a great deal of nudity, a lot of giggling and, we can only presume, a lot of drug use. The other member of the famous threesome was former Miss Teen USA Kari Ann Peniche. But anyway. We wish Dane and Gayheart well and hope they work out an amicable resolution for the sake of their kids. View Slideshow: 19 Most Stunning Splits in Celebrity History

Julie Bowen and Husband Call Marriage Quits After 13 Years

The immediately family of one Modern Family star is about to change quite a bit. According to People Magazine, Julie Bowen and her husband of 13 years are going their separate ways. Bowen and Scott Phillips and got married in 2004 and share three kids together: Oliver, 10; and twins John and Gustav, both of whom are eight. There had been chatter for several months that Bowen and Phillips were on the outs, largely because they had not been seen together in public for quite some time. In fact, the pair were last photographed with their children at a Harlem Globetrotters game in Los Angeles nearly a year ago, in February of 2017. You have to go back farther than that, to September of 2016, to find the last time they walked the red carpet together. That also took place in Los Angeles, at the LGBT Center 47th Anniversary Gala Vanguard Awards in West Hollywood. Phillips – who works as a a real estate investor and software developer – did not attend the Emmy Awards in 2016, despite it being the couple’s 12th wedding anniversary and despite his wife’s sitcom being nominated at the time. Bowen, however, talked to People Magazine about the apparent snub and said there was nothing to read into it. “He’s come every year, he’s been so supportive and this year he was playing in a tennis tournament and I wasn’t nominated as an individual so I said, ‘What do you want to do on our anniversary?’’ she told the publication back then, adding: “I mean it’s such an honor to be nominated and to go, but it’s tough to be a purse holder.” That sounds reasonable. And it’s very possible that Phillips’ lack of attendance was unrelated to any marital strige. Elsewhere, in an interview with Us Weekly, the actress joked about being “too tired” to break up with Scott. “We watch all these people get married and split up and go, ‘Wait, did they get married after us or before us? We outlast all these people,” she remarked. “The answer: We’re too tired to do anything else!” That’s sort of funny… until it becomes clear that it’s actually more revealing than anything else. Bowen, of course has starred as Claire Dunphy on Modern Family since 2009. She has earned two Emmy Awards for the role and many millions of dollars. We wish both her and Phillips nothing but the best as they head into their futures. View Slideshow: 13 Friendliest Celebrity Break-Ups of All-Time

Peter Gunz and Amina Buddafly: It’s Finally Over!

The most dysfunctional relationship in the history of Hollywood has finally come to an end. No, Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have not gone their separate ways. Not yet, at least. But it sounds very much as if Peter Gunz and Amina Buddafly are at last on the verge of doing so. We know this for one very simple and very straightforward reason: Both Peter and Amina posted the actual divorce papers on Instagram, with the latter taking this action first and thereby implying that she is the one who filed. “Ready, set, go…” wrote Buddafly as a caption, with Peter adding for his part: “The end…” Here is a look at the papers in question: Gunz followed up on this message by posting a photo of himself and his soon-to-be-ex-wife and making it clear that their split is amicable. “Our divorce is not ugly.. No lawyers no judges no Mediators!! Just us.. I love @aminabuddafly and the Beautiful Queens she gave me,” he wrote, concluding as follows: “Divorce in our case is not a bad thing it’s best and won’t change the support and love for her my kids and her music.. no comments necessary.” As those who watch Love & Hip Hop online (or on television) know quite well, Gunz and Buddafly have a pretty amazing history. We mean this is the most depressing/disturbing/hilarious/contentious/scandal sense of the word. Gunz and Buddafly (not their real names… we assume) got together while Peter was with Tara Wallace, the mother of a few of his kids. He basically kept having sex with both Amina and Tara over the years, more or less out in the open even. In August of 2016, the couple welcomed their second child into the world, a girl named Bronx. She was born not long after Gunz and Wallace also had a kid together, with Bronx marking Peter’s 10th child overall. That is not a misprint. Peeter Gunz is the father of 10 kids. And neither Buddafly nor Wallace seemed to really care that their baby daddy was also someone else’s simultaneous baby daddy. Wrote Buddafly to all the haters two years ago, while carrying one of Peter’s two fetuses at the time: “I Got pregnant again because I made love to the man I love… Now y’all can debate on why we did it until ya hair turns grey… “@petergunz174 I love you 4ever and I will never be scared to show or say it because of people.” Well, not so much 4ever , we guess. Not after this divorce news. Then again, it would surprise no one at all if Amina and Peter also announced in a few months that they’re expecting another baby together. That’s just how they roll.

Selena Gomez Splits from The Weeknd; Let the Jelena Chatter Begin!

One relationship is over for Selena Gomez. But will another soon begin… … again? Multiple outlets have confirmed that Gomez has split from The Weeknd, her boyfriend of about 10 months, paving the way for inevitable Justin Bieber reconciliation rumors to get started in earnest. Selena and The Weeknd were spotted making out on the streets of Los Angeles in January, going public with a romance that had been bantered about online for a few weeks. Just a few weeks ago, they were again seen swapping spit on the red carpet of a Harper’s Bazaar-sponsored event in New York City, with a source telling Us Weekly at the time: “They’re rock solid and very happy together.” So… what happened since then to cause a break up? Justin Bieber apparently happened. Gomez and Bieber, who dated for the first time in 2011 and have split/gotten back together approximately 279 times since then, have been spending more and more time together of late. It started when the stars hung out at Selena’s house last Sunday … until midnight or so, sources said. Fast forward a few days to this past weekend and Selena and Justin didn’t just chill once more — they got breakfast together ! And attended church services together! We’re talking about some rather intimate experiences. According to insiders, Bieber learned of Selena’s semi-recent kidney transplant and got back into contact with his ex. He was concerned about her well-being and, considering how serious her condition apparently became , he had good reason to be. Could this scare have triggered something inside of Bieber? Might he have come close to losing Gomez forever, realized that he truly loved her and is now doing all he can to get back into her good graces? It seems very possible, doesn’t it? Millions of fans around the country are likely praying for this to be the case. But not anyone in Selena’s family. They are doing the opposite of praying for a rekindled romance.  “Justin is a vile human and will never be accepted by us,” an unnamed loved one told TMZ amidst talk that these two really may become lovers again. He or she added: “As long as she is even speaking to him in any way, it is not only disrespectful to everyone around her, it is disrespectful to herself.” Ouch! How does this person really feel, we wonder? And what will folks say when the next version of Jelena is confirmed? Because you know it’s coming, right?
