Here’s What Fans Are Saying About The New Season Of ‘Arrested Development’

Source: NurPhoto / Getty Arrested Development has been a cult-classic TV show since it first aired on Fox back in 2003, but it’s only picked up more steam since it’s premature Fox cancellation and Netflix revival 10 years later. Now, season 5 has arrived to the streaming service 5 years following its initial resuscitation, and there is a lot at stake. Fans were obviously excited at the chance to hang out with the dysfunctional Bluth family once more, even though reviews for season 4 back in 2013 were almost completely negative. That excitement was stifled once a New York Times interview showed tension and a lack of passion between the cast, namely Jeffrey Tambor and his male cast mates against a crying Jessica Walter . This encounter turned off many from the show, but of course, die-hard fans are still going to watch regardless. Season 5 premiered on Netflix on Tuesday, and it’s already garnering mixed reviews. Check out what the people of Twitter had to say about the series upon feasting their eyes on some new episodes. I can't binge watch Arrested Development Season 5 – I've missed the Bluths too much to watch it in one day. It's like seeing a best friends I haven't seen for five years, i need time to get to know them again #AD5 #ArrestedDevelopment — Shireen (@Shireen_Mc) May 29, 2018   I was really upset by that #ArrestedDevelopment interview. I have seen many people saying they will no longer watch the show. This morning I decided I would watch the show so that I could watch #JessicaWalter be as amazing as always. — Karen Kelley (@Karen_version_3) May 29, 2018 New season of Arrested Development? What? Why is that thing still twitching, wasn't season 4 bad enough? — Ari, u r OTL (@Ariurotl) May 29, 2018

You Said That?! Kandi Denies Offering Kim Lesbihonest Lovin’—& NeNe Jumps In With THIS

Charles Sykes/Bravo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images Call Andy… Kandi Blasts Kim Zolciak Over #RHOA Lesbian Rumor Another day, another “who said dat” moment on “Real Housewives Of Atlanta.” During Sunday’s episode viewers saw longtime friends Sheree Whitfield and Kim Zolciak go out for lunch that another RHOA O.G., NeNe Leakes , refused to attend. While chatting about recent happenings in the dysfunctional group, Kim hinted that rumors from last season about Kandi Burruss being a closeted lesbian were true—considering that she allegedly offered her some same-sex loving. “On my kids lives, let God strike me dead, I wouldn’t let her [Kandi] lick my box.” said Kim. Wait a minute…. Kandi was obviously watching the show in real time because she then exploded on Twitter and reminded “lying a** b***” Kim that “Real Housewives Of Atlanta” is “her house.” I’m sick of these bitches lying on me. @KimZolciak I have NEVER wanted you or your box. And stop swearing on your kids while you’re telling lies. Lying ass bitch. Somebody’s really reaching for a permanent peach here… This is my house. You’re just a visitor! — Kandi Burruss (@Kandi) January 15, 2018 You said that, Kim?! Kandi’s obviously over “the lies, the lies, the lies” and it looks like RHOA fans are too. Kim, you know you're lying about Kandi. #rhoa pic.twitter.com/QQmgChPvfq — Bryan Boggiano (@Bryan_KnowsBest) January 15, 2018 Kim is the same bitch that lied about: – Big Poppa being engaged to her – How many months she was preggers to get out the Anguilla trip – Being lesbian – Having cancer And were supposed to believe this recent lie about Kandi? #RHOA pic.twitter.com/qyK6IqyyuB — Brandon Fluellen (@BMFluellen1) January 15, 2018 Hit the flip for Kim’s response to the shade and to see what NeNe Leakes thinks about her ex-bestie Kim’s comments.

Rob Kardashian Shows Support for Kylie Jenner

Rob Kardashian is back on social media. And also back to being pretty gosh darn weird about it. A few days after  Kylie Jenner released an actual lip kit (on sale now! For just $29!), her reclusive half-sibling shared an adorable picture on Instagream. It features his bulldog sitting at a computer, staring at Kyle’s lip kit online and apparently distraught over the fact that he cannot purchase it. “I guess someone is disappointed they didn’t get Kylie’s lipkit!!!! Don’t worry buddy more coming soon!” Rob wrote as a funny caption. Rob Kardashian, of course, has been estranged from his family for over a year and a half now. Such as he’s done here, Rob has reached out a few times on Twitter and on Instagram… but he was not included in the family Thanksgiving photo and he has not made any appearances on Keeping Up with the Kardashians Season 11. It’s clear that Rob is sick of the spotlight, while he’s also admitted himself on multiple occasions that he’s ashamed of his overweight body. We’re guessing it doesn’t help that his famous sisters are always talking about the desire to slim down their own bodies. This is a family that is seemingly accepting of everything… except excess weight. However, Kardashian may be featured in the family Christmas photo this year. For a price , that is.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 5 Recap: No Love on This Love Boat

Sunday on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 8 Episode 5 , Cynthia and Porsha’s argument turned nuclear on the ladies’ cruise. While that beef heated up and there was clearly no love lost on this love boat, Kandi hoped to receive some big news from her doctor … If you watch The Real Housewives of Atlanta online , you know the Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams feud was nearing its boiling point. Porsha called Cynthia a bitch, which she said was a term of endearment, but Cyn wasn’t buying it, and well, neither was backing down. “We have had years of issues back and forth; I’m going to find out if this how it’s gonna all fall out,” Porsha shouted as Cynthia asked: “This is how you want to be? This is how you want to be?” Fans who love cat fights might answer yes, but the cast? The pushing, shoving and kicking escalated quickly. “I’ve seen this before. She’s like a rabid dog. This is a scary scene,” Kenya Moore, who knows what getting beat down by Porsha is like, said. Pretty nuts all around, even by their standards. In the aftermath of the brawl, Kandi Burruss headed to the doctor for an ultrasound of her baby, while Todd Tucker … had a phone call. One that caused him to miss its heartbeat. Finding work-life balance is tough on all of us, but at least they know it’s a boy … oh wait, that’s just the leg. Sorry Todd. Maybe it still is? Meanwhile, back to the dysfunctional mess that is Cynthia and Porsha’s feud, Kenya decided to insert herself into their reconciliation. It was as bad an idea as it sounds like. Basically, Kenya tried to point out that Porsha was a repeat offender in terms of violence, and Williams didn’t take kindly to this “gotcha” moment. “I don’t trust you,” Porsha told Kenya, wholly unimpressed with her motives. “You don’t have any compassion for me, and I know that.” Still, Porsha said she would “give Cynthia a chance” to make it right, while Bailey admitted that things got out of hand. So there’s hope? Kim Fields, Sheree Whitfield, Kandi, Cynthia, and Phaedra Parks were on edge when Cynthia and Porsha showed up at the same lunch. Once they had some privacy (except for gawking co-stars and Bravo cameras), Porsha and Cynthia got into it … fists-free this time. “Just bruising, so I took a couple days off from work,” Porsha said when Cynthia asked how she is. “But emotionally, I was bothered by the situation.” Porsha stuck to her story, though. “However that made you feel, that was not my intention behind it,” she said of bitch-gate, and that was close enough as apologies go. “I came here today to apologize for my part in it,” Cynthia said, following non-apology suit. “I had no expectation from you whatsoever.” Incredibly, they hugged it out. A few weeks before the most special time of the year, a true Christmas miracle may have just occurred. View Slideshow: The Real Housewives Cast Shake-Ups: Who’s In? Who’s Out?

50 Cent Wants Next Album To Have ‘Aggression’ Of His Debut

‘ Get Rich or Die Tryin’ was all the dysfunctional behavior I had seen my entire life,’ Fif tells MTV News. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting Josh Horowitz 50 Cent Photo: Jordan Strauss/ Getty Images Last year was quiet on the music front for 50 Cent but the G-Unit superstar is looking to change that in 2011. “I’m about 80 percent done with my new album,” he told MTV News over the weekend about his forthcoming LP, Black Magic. “It should be out this summer, I’m working on that. It’s exciting; we’ll see how everyone responds to that.” For the collection, 50 is expected to hearken back to his early projects, like the material from his debut, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. “The content had extreme aggression,” he said of his first album. “What I offered on Get Rich or Die Tryin’ was all the dysfunctional behavior I had seen all my entire life and I became the album to the general public.” The rapper’s most recent project, 2009’s Before I Self Destruct, became the lowest-selling album in the self-described “SoundScan Killer” ‘s career. Yet, as always, he remained relevant in part because of his business savvy, pushing Lloyd Banks’ The Hunger for More 2 on the revamped G-Unit Records. Banks, who worked with 50’s former music rival Kanye West on HFM2, suggested late last year that the G-Unit head and West could unite soon on record. And although there aren’t any set plans for a collaboration, 50 has been following West’s moves, in particular, his joint album with Jay-Z , slated to arrive this year. “It should be interesting,” Fif said of Watch the Throne. “When you’ve got two artists, it’s a good combination, good collaborations should come out of it.” Do you think 50 should revisit his “Get Rich” sound on his next album? Tell us your thoughts in the comments! Related Artists 50 Cent

Jon Gosselin: Kate is a Shameless Self-Promoter

She may be gone from Dancing with the Stars, but Kate Gosselin isn’t done dancing around legal crusades waged by her loser ex-husband Jon. The royal douchebag will be pressing on with his “absentee mom” argument in custody court, in spite of the fact that Kate got booted Tuesday. Why? Because if it’s not DWTS , it’ll be something else. Jon’s lawyer, Anthony List, says Dancing with the Stars “is the tip of the iceberg, as surely there will be many other projects to take its place.” The attorney notes that Kate has already signed on for two new shows, both on TLC, and scoffs that “She’s always promoting something .” “Most of the time it’s herself.” Kate got smoked on Dancing with the Stars. Will the reality mom soon be subject to a similar fate in court, thanks to new custody filings made by her douchebag ex? Jon is asking the court for primary custody of their eight kids … which is kind of a joke, as regardless of his complaints about Kate, what does he possibly have to offer them? Unemployment and nights out with mediocre girls? But therein lies the rub. Jon also wants child support from Kate, who is hands down becoming the breadwinner in the dysfunctional family. Whether he gets it is another story, as there are a whole host of reasons he should not, but Jonny seems determined to press on for now. Who do you think should have custody of the Gosselin kids?
