Diahann Carroll, an iconic actress who became the first African-American actress to ever lead a broadcast television series, died Friday at her home in Los Angeles. She was 84 years old. The star — who won a Tony Award, garnered an Oscar nomination and made television history with her turns on Julia and Dynasty — had been diagnosed with breast cancer way back in 1997. Her daughter, producer/journalist Suzanne Kay, confirmed the news of her mother’s passing from this disease to The Hollywood Reporter. A native of the Bronx, Carroll was her Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for 1962’s “No Strings.” Her historic break, however, came six years later when she was cast as the first black actress to lead a network series, anchoring NBC’s “Julia” for three seasons. She earned the aforementioned Emmy nod, along with a Golden Globe victory, for this role of a widowed nurse raising a young son. Despite the acclaim she received as a result of this turn, Carroll said years ago that she didn’t want to do it at first. “I really didn’t believe that this was a show that was going to work,” she said in a 1998 chat for the website The Interviews: An Oral History of Television, adding at the time: “I thought it was something that was going to leave someone’s consciousness in a very short period of time. I thought, ‘Let them go elsewhere.'” Respected and admired for opening doors and eyes in Hollywood, Carroll went on to enjoy major roles in classic programs such as “Dynasty,” its spinoff, “The Colbys” and “A Different World.” She also appeared on five epidoes of Grey’s Anatomy in 2006. Other more recent small screen gigs includes recurring roles on Diary of a Single Mom and White Collar. She was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame in 2011… but she was more than just an actress. Carroll also recorded mumerous albums during her career and wrote the memoirs Diahann, published in 1986, and The Legs Are the Last to Go: Aging, Acting, Marrying, Mothering and Other Things I Learned Along the Way, in 2008. Diahann Carroll is pictured here in her groundbreaking role of Julia Baker. The veteran actress was married four times, her last husband being singer Vic Damone. The couple divorced in 1996 — and she also famously dated talk show host David Frost for several years. She is survived by her daughter and two grandchildren. May Diahann Carroll rest in peace.

When Mike Sorrentino pled guilty to tax evasion back in January of 2018, the news led many to express disbelief at the reality star’s financial situation. After all, one can’t hide millions in assets without first amassing millions, and for those who had remained ignorant of the Jersey Shore phenomenon, the revelation that a guy named “The Situation” was earning 7 figures annually came as quite a shock. Yes, there’s no denying that when Shore was at its peak, The Sitch was rich — very rich. In fact, in addition to his abhorrent behavior, Mike was known for two things in those days — his lavish taste, and his six-pack abs. In the years that followed his arrest, Mike fell on hard times, got sober, and committed himself to becoming a better man. Last week, Sorrentino was released after serving eight months in prison. Now, it’s important to note that Mike — who married Lauren Pesce in November — has made it clear that he has no intention of returning to his hard-partying ways. But we’re sure he wouldn’t mind regaining the staggering wealth and flawless physique he enjoyed in his Bad Mike days. As evidenced by his first post-prison photo, in one respect, Mike has already made some major progress. The Sitch and family celebrated his return with a massive feast (of course), and the image of Mike’s newly-pumped-up guns left some fans reeling: “He’s back … Look at those arms,” commented one fan. Another echoed, “Let’s goooo, Mike. Beast.” “God damn! No more dad bod!” a third fan remarked. As for the financial situation — well that might take a little bit longer to get that back on track. Mike’s net worth these days is estimated at roughly $300,000. Not too shabby, but a far cry from Pauly D’s, who — as the wealthiest Shore cast member — is thought to be worth roughly $20 million. Mike’s situation is no doubt helped considerably by the fact that Jersey Shore: Family Vacation has proven to be a modest ratings hit, and will likely return for at least two more seasons. Still, The Sitch has quite a hole to dig himself out of. In addition to his prison time, Mike was forced to pay out $123,000 in restitutions, as well as a $10,000 fine. Fortunately, Shore isn’t his only revenue stream these days. TMZ reports that Mike has been presented with a lot of opportunities since his release. His clothing company is enjoying record sales, and he’s so in demand for public appearances, that he and Lauren have delayed their scheduled honeymoon. “We are elated to finally close this chapter of our life. Thank you to our family, friends and fans for the continuous love and support during this time,” a rep for the couple said in a statement issued after Mike’s release. “It brought us so much peace and comfort. “We look forward to continuing our life as husband and wife and working on baby situations! We truly believe that the comeback is ALWAYS greater than the setback, and we can’t wait to show the world ours.” We wish Big Daddy and Mrs. Sitch all the best going forward.

Any true fans of Britney Spears rejoiced at the news that Jamie Spears is no longer her conservator (for now). But many have hoped that he’ll be brought to justice over an alleged attack on Britney’s son Sean Preston. Unfortunately (but unsurprisingly), police who were investigating have thrown up their hands and announced that Jamie will not be charged. Ventura County District Attorney Gregory D. Totten had the unenviable task of reporting that justice will not be served. “Criminal charges will not be filed against James Spears, of Westlake Village,” Totten announced, according to RadarOnline . He continued: “The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office investigated allegations involving child abuse by Mr. Spears.” “After reviewing the evidence,” Totten confessed. “There is insufficient proof that a criminal offense was committed by Mr. Spears.” That is a disappointment, but not a shocker. An inside source previously related the alleged events in question to RadarOnline . “Britney had the boys at Jamie’s condo on the evening of August 24,” the insider began. “Jamie and Sean Preston got into an argument,” the source noted. The insider explained that “Sean Preston felt unsafe and locked himself into a room.” No child should ever be given reason to feel unsafe around family, but it’s doubly awful that this was not enough to remove him from harm’s way. “Jamie broke into the room and shook Sean Preston,” the source revealed, matching up with all other descriptions of the event. That is awful. That is a description of abuse. “Jamie has a temper,” another insider noted. “Which is no secret to anyone in the family.” “Fortunately, Britney did the right thing,” the source continued. “And,” the insider said, the pop superstar “took her boys to safety and away from her father.” “The whole incident was very upsetting to her and her boys,” the source related. The insider added: “Kevin was and still is furious.” “Preston was not physically injured,” the source noted. “But very scared and shaken up.” Pun not intended, we hope. Most domestic abuse does not result in physical injuries. It doesn’t make it any less evil. So why is it not shocking that Jamie isn’t being charged with anything? Because most of us are all too aware of how little our society actually cares about the safety of children — at least when it comes to danger in their families. Look in the comments section of almost any story about domestic violence against a child, and you’re likely to see people applauding it. Additionally, our legal system is centuries old and not designed to prosecute abuse of a girlfriend, spouse, or child. When it was designed, remember, wives and children were essentially property of men. Too many times, investigations — even those with eyewitnesses — end with police shrugging at “insufficient evidence of a crime.” That has to change. In the mean time, thankfully, both Sean Preston and Jayden James are safe from that elderly ogre of a man. Britney is under a conservatorship, meaning that she felt that she could not sufficiently protect her sons from her father since he runs her life. So she did what any responsible mother would and amended her custody agreement so that Kevin has custody 70% of the time. Now, the boys are safe even with her, as they have restraining orders keeping Jamie away from them for the next three years. With luck, these orders will keep Britney’s sons safe for the rest of Jamie’s life. View Slideshow: Britney Spears Fans Accuse Her Team of Orchestrating Cover-Up, Faking Pics & Videos
Mackenzie McKee is going through a lot these days. The new Teen Mom OG cast member is dealing with her mother's ongoing cancer battle, along with her recent split from husband Josh. The reality star announced this impending divorce in mid-August , sounding somewhat optimistic about her future despite this unfortunate development. But now McKee doesn't sound like she's in a great place. Nor does she sound like a huge fan of Josh. Scroll down for the latest on the MTV personality and her personal life… 1. Where did it all go wrong? When Josh cheated on her? Or, at least, when allegations of Josh cheating on her surfaced. 2. Did he actually cheat? TBD, we guess. On McKee’s first episode of Teen Mom OG, we watched as Mackenzie grew concerned over her husband’s fidelity after he left for a rodeo and a woman contacted McKee, alleging that she witnessed Josh flirting with another female. 3. What’s the history here? The couple tied the knot in 2013 and have been dating since 2009. They have three kids: son Gannon, 7, daughter Jaxie Taylor, 5, and Broncs Weston, who turned 3 this summer. 4. How did McKee break the news? “I would like to say, that due to stress, me needing to stay focused, the media, etc. I am deciding my marriage needs a break. My heart breaks for my kids. But as of right now, this is what’s best. Thank you,” the reality star wrote back on August 24. 5. Staying Positive “Freshly single and ready to, be the boss babe that I am and let God lead me to what i deserve,” McKee later wrote in as a caption to a selfie. She later edited the caption to point out that the picture “is an old photo so my ring is on.” 6. It all sounded pretty amicable at the time… … but then? Things took a turn for the dramatic and cantankerous. View Slideshow

In a word? KABOOM ! In a whole bunch of words? Holy shocker, reality TV fans, can you believe the bombshell that exploded all over last night’s Married at First Sight finale?!? We’re still reeling from what we just witnessed and, as you can tell by the looks on the coaches’ faces below, we aren’t alone… We won’t delay the suspense any longer. We’ll just hope all readers are sitting down when they read the following: Keith Manley said he wanted to separate from Iris Caldwell on Wednesday night’s episode. “You’ve been nothing but supportive. Whether it’s coming to my grandmother’s funeral or you coming to meet my family and spending time with my family,” he told her on air, adding in more painful detail: “I do want you to know how grateful I am to have met someone who has pushed me in so many different ways that I just had no idea I needed to be pushed in. “Right now, I do think that we are in different places individually and for that reason I would like to get a divorce.” Dr. Pepper Schwartz was left “stunned” by this decision, while Dr. Viviana Coles said her heart was “broken for Iris.” As for the bride? She handled the news better than expected. “I think you’re an amazing person,” Keith added. “I think you’re an amazing woman but I’m just not sure you’re the right one for me.” “I guess I’m at peace with it because it’s something I can’t change,” Iris replied simply. Take as long as you need to process this development and then scroll down to learn the fate of Gregory Okotie and Deonna McNeill … Deonna said she was “growing in love” with her husband during their sit-down, helping us believe in this emotion once again. “This kind of feels like a fairy-tale,” she continued. “I got married at first sight to find my forever relationship, to find my complementing partner, go on adventures, go grocery shopping, go home and have someone to talk too. With Greg, I have all of that.” Hooray! Can Matthew Gwynne and Amber Bowles keep this positive reaction flowing? After Gwynne was confronted with allegations of flirting with other women while married, the athlete apologized. He sounded sincere, at least to an extent, but it wasn’t enough for Amber … who stood up for herself in a way that left viewers applauding all night long. “I think I deserve to be pursued,” she said, continuing as follows: You said it’s because you didn’t feel a spark or connection but why didn’t you walk away when you didn’t feel the spark or connection? “You could have saved me a whole lot of heartache because I’m hurting now and I’m feeling humiliated and I’m feeling like I’m not enough because of how you acted and the choices you made. “I wish you would have walked away instead of hurting me.” Amen, Amber. As for Elizabeth Bice and Jamie Thompson ? These two, and the way they were presented, left us guessing until the very end. First, Jamie confessed that he doesn’t “love the sexual relationship” he has with Jamie. So the end had to be near for the newlyweds, right? Nope: despite their many ups and downs, the couple was united in their decision to remain married. “I think there is a lot for us to grow together in this world and I think we have a lot of positive things to bring to each other’s lives, but you’ve done some pretty effed up things and you’ve called me some pretty choice words,” Elizabeth said. “I think I’d be really crazy if I didn’t stay with you so I want to stay in this marriage.” Can’t say we saw that coming, but the episode was chock full of surprises. “I just think there’s just too much good, too much positivity, too much to throw away so my answer is yes, I want to stay married,” Jamie concluded.
