Celebrity Divorces: Is Wendy Williams Ready To Fire Her Hubby/Manager Kevin Hunter From Her Show AND Her Life?

Wendy Williams And Husband Kevin Hunter Having Issues At Home And Work Seems like it’s breakup season… Besides the problems plaguing Vince and Tamar , J.Lo and Casper and Kendu and MJB it looks like we can add Wendy Williams and her manager hubby Kevin Hunter to the list. You may recall Wendy axed a gang of folks after the whole HBCU debacle a month or so back. Now the remaining staff are calling for Hunter — who has been Exec Producer of the show from jump — to be fired. According to B.Scott reports: “Show execs want her husband/manager fired from the show,” said our source. “Wendy is in FULL support of his exit amid their major marital problems. Things have gotten so bad that she is seriously considering filing for divorce.” According to previous reports , Kevin’s influence on the show is making the entire crew — including Wendy — ‘miserable’. “Kevin makes all the decisions and has become more and more controlling as the show has become a success,” one show insider tells Confidenti@l. “He insists that all show questions be run by him.” Hunter has had Williams change her cell phone number so she is not as accessible to the many staffers on the show. “He’s also hired her a new driver, who reports to him,” says our source. Things have gotten so intense at the show that producers have been warned that all scripts must go to Hunter before Williams can even read them. And Hunter must approve all the ideas for segments and celebrity guest bookings. “Wendy is smart. No one can understand why she does not tell him to f? off,” adds our source. “He is making everyone’s lives miserable and is causing problems on an otherwise great show.” That sounds like quite a conundrum. The couple have been together since 1997 — but the show has already been renewed through 2020. Sounds like a lot to balance. Wendy we definitely advise you to do whatever is best for YOU. WENN

Dance Moms Season 5 Episode 23 Recap: Maddie vs. Mackenzie Ziegler!

Dance Moms Season 5 Episode 23 pitted sibling prodigies Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler against each other in a battle for the ages on Lifetime. Who would prevail, and what would the fallout be? Watch Dance Moms Season 5 Episode 23 Online When Dance Moms Season 5 Episode 23 got underway, the two girls were given solos in the same age category, raising the stakes higher than ever. Sibling rivalry plus typical Dance Moms pressure cooker? In. Tense. The pressure was even higher for Maddie, considering that in addition to practicing her risky tap dance solo, she had a new video with Sia premiering. Abby, for her part, brought in celebrity guest choreographer Travis Payne to teach a routine inspired by vouging, a style the girls aren’t familiar with. Did they catch on quickly enough? And who came out on top? If you watch Dance Moms online , you know all too well that the moms tend to lose their minds when it comes to this stuff. This week was no exception. Mackenzie, 10, won for her jazz/acro routine. Maddie, 12, took second for her tap routine. Their mom, Melissa Gisoni, wept as she embraced the former. View Slideshow: Abby Lee Miller: The Beast of the East (Coast) Maddie was gracious on stage, but behind the scenes, she was less than thrilled with her mom. Maddie summed it up thusly to her parental unit: “Mom, it’s just a stupid competition … you don’t have to cry.” Stupid competition? Yes, but she feels she should’ve won it. “I definitely deserve to beat her, but its OK,” Maddie said. Later, in the dressing room, Melissa attempted to get Maddie to share in her epic joy for Mackenzie, but the older sister was just not having it. “I’m not mad at all!” Maddie said to her mom at that point. “You said, ‘Be happy. Be happy. I’m like, I’m happy! … I AM happy. Just stop it!” The mom had a different assessment after the fact, in any case, when she was asked by Jessalyn Siwa if she felt Maddie deserved to win. “I’m sorry. Mackenzie looked like a 7-year-old on the stage and she looked adorable and sweet and Maddie was fabulous,” Melissa said. Mixed signals much? View Slideshow: 31 Craziest Celebrity Fights
