Source: David M. Benett/Stefanie Keenan / Getty Cassie Shares New Wedding Photos Cassie is sharing more photos and details from her Alex Fine wedding. As previously reported Cassie and her trainer bae Alex Fine tied the knot in September after Cassie moved on from her 10-year Diddyship. Now Cassie (who’s pregnant with her first child) is posting pics from her Malibu nuptials and sharing details with VOGUE . According to Cassie she and Alex debated whether or not to get engaged before or after their baby came but ultimately decided on before. Cassie also told VOGUE that Alex surprised her with his proposal that he did alongside the Compton Cowboys. “I knew that Alex was designing a ring, but I honestly wasn’t expecting a super elaborate proposal because we already had the wedding date set, but he planned such a beautiful experience for me. I was so surprised!” He told me to come ready because we were driving straight to dinner to celebrate my birthday early that night as my family was coming into town,” she remembers. “I was running a little late, so he called me to check in.” Cassie pulled up just before the sun went down, and Compton Cowboys leader Randy Savvy came out front to welcome her with flowers. “At that point, I got so nervous, but was also really excited.” She also told VOGUE that they had less than 20 people at their nuptials and explained the process of finding her dress while pregnant. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alex Fine (@alexfine44) on Oct 9, 2019 at 3:45pm PDT There were 14 guests total—all close family. “We wanted a simple venue with a beautiful view that felt warm and romantic,” Cassie says. “We wanted the aesthetic to reflect how comfortable and content we feel with each other.” They worked with event planner Melissa Andre to coordinate everything in just two weeks. “Melissa was a magician with the planning,” Cassie says. “Being that I was seven months pregnant, it wasn’t easy finding a dress in such a short time frame, so I worked with my stylists and friends Marni Senofonte and Deonte Nash to create a custom look with our tailor Arturo and his daughter Christina from Rancho Tailors.” View this post on Instagram Magical. @voguemagazine A post shared by Emilio Sanchez (@emiliosanchez) on Oct 9, 2019 at 5:29pm PDT A few days after picking the wedding date, Cassie spent a week and a half getting the dress made. “I spent one afternoon with Deo and Marni going through inspiration and during that time we settled on a silhouette and fabrication,” she explains. She wanted the dress to feel romantic but comfortable for what she describes as her “intimate backyard wedding.” They did billowy, off-the-shoulder sleeves for romance and a high slit for movement. “When it came to this moment in my life, I knew that [it was] the easier the better for me,” she says. “We chose to create the lace veil to give it a touch of the classic.” She then paired it all with Jimmy Choo shoes and simple studs. The groom wore Musika styled by Paris Libby, while all of the male guests were in black tuxes and the women were asked to wear cream. The couple’s ceremony was performed by close friend and director Peter Berg, the man behind the hit series Friday Night Lights and the newlyweds did their first dance to “Tennessee Whiskey” before ordering heart-shaped pizza.

Despite being on the receiving end of some nasty name-calling last week, Vicki Gunvalson was in high spirits on this week’s episode. The Real Housewives of Orange County showed Vicki and Steve both hyped for their then-impending engagement. But Kelly Dodd has dropped a bombshell. Did Vicki buy the ring herself as a prop for a TV stunt? On this week’s The Real Housewives of Orange County , Vicki Gunvalson was on the hunt. She was scrambling through Steve Lodge’s golf cart for an engagement ring that she was just certain he was hiding there. At the same time as she was snooping through Steve’s belongings, Steve confirmed to Tamra that Vicki was exactly right. Steve shared that he was “already planning my proposal. I already have the ring. Everything’s set to go.” But one person just wasn’t willing to buy this as an authentic storyline — and that person was Kelly. Kelly Dodd took to social media as the episode aired to call out Vicki and make an astounding claim. “You know where the ring is of course,” Kelly accused on Twitter. She explained why Vicki must know the truth: “Cuz you bought the ring.” While Vicki Gunvalson would not be the first reality star to purchase her own engagement ring, we don’t know that Kelly is right about this. But if so, it would make this engagement look more like a stunt for TV than a real plan to get married. Kelly’s accusation of course earned her a Twitter user asking “Where’s your ring, Kelly Dodd?” “It’s coming!!” Kelly vowed. “Watch baby!” She then added an emoji of a baby’s milk bottle, which unless you’re breastfeeding, speaking of a literal baby, or have a particular kink is … weird. But it sounds like Kelly is every bit as confident in her own romantic prospects as she is in her claims about Vicki. Kelly also claimed that her ex, Dr. Brian, also offered her a ring of her own, and … fans are not sure what to believe about that. Fans have worried about Kelly’s alarming behavior for a while, and some are afraid that she’s out for blood. “Vicki and Steve, Congratulations on your engagement!” one fan wrote Thursday morning beside Vicki’s sweet engagement photo from April. “I am very happy for you both,” the fan expressed. “Please have a lovely wedding.” The follower then warned: “Don’t invite Kelly Dodds as she is nota friend and out to create nothing but trouble for any of you.” Ooh, that sounds dire! “Go on with your lifes and ignore all she says,” the fan counseled. The comment continued: “She must be very unhappy herself as she isn’t focused on her own happiness.” The fan opines that Kelly is interested in “just stirring the the pot, so to speak!” “You both make a beautiful couple,” the follower praised, concluding: “God Bless, Peace, Happiness, Love Forever” That is some nice, if thoroughly unsolicited, advice. Honestly … maybe the weirdest part of this whole thing was seeing Vicki root around through Steve’s stuff for the ring. Searching someone else’s belongings is not okay, and not indicative of a healthy relationship. But we have to remember that it’s not like Vicki was secretly caught doing this. She knew that the cameras were rolling. And she had also known for months that the engagement was coming up. The search for the ring was, well, TV drama. We’re not so convinced that Kelly’s claim about the ring’s purchase is true. View Slideshow: Kelly Dodd: Vicki Gunvalson is a Freaking Psycho Pig Bish C–t!!
This Just In: Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is not the only Jersey Shore cast member involved in a controversial relationship. We all know about the many ugly issues between Ronnie and Jen Harley , of course, but a newly-released trailer for upcoming episodes of this popular program makes it evident: Things may not be perfect between Jenni Farley and boyfriend Zack Clayton Carpinello , either. In an explosive look at what's on tap for these often-drunk and chaotic reality stars, Angelina Pivarnick accuses Farley's young lover of making a move on her. “What happened in Vegas?” Angelina’s fiancé, Chris Larangeira, asks as a flashback clip plays of Zack greeting her with a hug in the video featured here. In response, Angelina admits: “I just feel his hand go right on me,” as she slaps her hand on her butt, much to Chris’ shock and irritation. Later, Angelina says her engagement is in jeopardy, presumably as a result of this alleged incident. From here, the stars attempt to get to the bottom of this romantic mess. Chris refers to Zack as a “clown” and threatens to “knock this guy’s teeth out.” In a confessional, Vinny Guadagnino says he is “seriously worried about the next time we’re gonna be together.” “It's like Zack's word against Angelina's,” Pauly D says in a deep conversation with Vinny and Ronnie. Meanwhile, Jenni claims at one point that everything is reversed and that Angelina is the one who acted inappropriately with Zack. “We need to figure out what happened,” Snooki says calmly, to which Jenni fires back, “She f-cking kissed him!” Cut to a group meal and Angelina pressing Jenni over whether she's “trying to be grimy now,” which prompts Jenni to jump up in a blazing fury and pound on the table. She repeats, “Grimy?! Grimy?!” in stunned disbelief. Important takeaway here: Never refer to Jenni Farley as grimy apparently. “Now it’s an all-out war,” Vinny says. For the record: Angelina and Chris have been engaged since January of 2018, while JWoww started dating Zack in March amid her divorce from Roger Mathews, which the ex-couple finalized in August. “I never in a million years thought I would be dating someone younger than me,” JWoww told Angelina and Mike Sorrentino’s wife, Lauren Sorrentino, on a recent episode, adding in extreme detail: “We’re completely different. … Not my style at all. But then he turns into this fcking monster in bed. I was like, ‘Are you an escort? What’s going on?’ It wasn’t normal. “I had to look up positions and stuff.” Well… okay then! Check out the new trailer now.
For years now, Chelsea Houska has enjoyed her role as the most drama-free of all the Teen Moms. That may seem like an easy title to obtain when you’re competing with the likes of Jenelle Evans, but for a long time, Chelsea’s life was characterized by conflict and uncertainty, thanks to her relationship with Adam Lind. Fortunately, things have since settled down for the mother of two. In fact, ever since Chelsea married Cole DeBoer in 2016, she’s become something of an aspirational figure — living proof that the combination of teenage motherhood and reality TV stardom need not make a complete mess of one’s adult life. But on this week’s episode of Teen Mom 2 , Chelsea once again found herself at the center of controversy, as some fans took issue with a conversation between Houska and her mother, Mary. The discussion concerned land that Chelsea and Cole had purchased on which to build their new home. The plot is about 45 minutes away from where Chelsea currently lives, a fact which upset Mary for two reasons: 1. She’ll now have to drive for nearly an hour to spend time with her grandkids, and 2. Isn’t every part of South Dakota exactly the same anyway? (Okay, we may have made that last part up.) “I am just sick,” Mary said to Chelsea . “But I don’t want to make you mad and all crazy if I say something.” “Okay, mom. What do you have to say about it?” Chelsea said (with a bit of an attitude, if you believe some viewers.) “I just can’t … I don’t even like to talk about it. It’s just so sad for me,” replied a tearful Mary. “We’re going to be 45 minutes away,” Chelsea shot back. “You have kids that live in Florida and Texas.” “No, I know,” Mary said. “It isn’t so much that you’re leaving, cause it isn’t that far. But you gotta think of it rationally. “One, you’re only 15 minutes from me now, I’m by myself. I have to drive all the way down there after 5 [p.m.] cause I work til 5 [p.m.]. I can’t just get off, you know,” said Mary. “I just felt like it was too fast. You know, you kinda told me about it.” Chelsea responded, “I know, but you don’t know what we do and what we talk about and what we look at.” “Just don’t rush into anything. Just really really think about it, cause I’m not trying to like,” Mary said. ”I’m not trying to sound like I’m selfish, cause I kinda am.” “I understand how you feel,” Chelsea interjected. “But I mean, these kids are all I got anymore. I’m gonna cry,” Mary said, beginning to sob. “And just to think of you that far … I can’t get down there very much. I can’t go to every game. Or even in the winter, there’s no way I can drive — I don’t even now like to drive at night.” It went on like this, and Chelsea tried to end things on a positive note, promising her mom: “I’m sorry. We have to do what we feel is right, though. No matter what, we’re going to make it so you don’t feel like this. It’s not going to be as bad as you think it is.” Hey, anyone with aging parents can relate, right? Well, apparently not, as Chelsea was judged rather harshly on Twitter: “I [heart] Chelsea & she’s my fave mom, but the no sympathy for your mother when she’s that upset & crying in front of u is extremely saddening to me. I could never stand in front of my mother that upset & trivialize her feelings & get irritated about them the way u just did,” tweeted one fan, as pointed out by In Touch Weekly . “I love Chelsea but I HATE the way she’s talking to her mom.. #TeenMom2,” another chimed in. Some fans even went so far as to claim that Chelsea’s (allegedly) poor treatment of her mother is a result of Mary and Randy Houska’s contentious divorce several years ago: “Chelsea has always been so hard and genuinely sh–ty to her mom. I’m sure it’s a byproduct of divorce, kids take sides, but it sucks and it doesn’t look good on her #teenmom2,” And then there was the harsh critic who issued this devastating low blow: “Chelsea reminds me of Jenelle a little bit how she be talking to her mom,” the viewer wrote. Hey, there might be room for disagreement with regard to how Chelsea handled the situation with her mother. But comparing her to Jenelle? That’s a bridge too far, folks!

Soon-to-be Alaskan Bush People star Raiven Adams is 11 weeks pregnant and back together with Bear Brown . They’ve had their ups and downs since going public with their relationship, and Raiven has received a shocking amount of outright hate . Now, Bear is standing up for his lady love and the mother of his child and begging fans to stop being cruel. Bear Brown took to Instagram late Wednesday night to share an impassioned plea with his fans and followers. “Everybody!” Bear’s urgent Instagram message begins. “Please stop sending Raiven disrespectful messages!” People have said very cruel things to Raiven from the moment that they went public with their romance. The ensuing engagement news, breakup news, pregnancy news, and reunification news all unfortunately prompted even mroe vile trolling. “She’s is going through enough without naysayers spreading gossip!” Bear points out. “Raiven is pregnant with my child!” Bear writes. This isn’t just a reminder to be kind to a pregnant woman whom he loves, folks. Unfortunately, he makes it clear that absolute monsters have been accusing Raiven of getting pregnant by someone else and claiming htat it’s Bear’s. “We’ve been living in the same house for a while!” the self-styled King of Extreme points out. Bear assures his followers: “I don’t need some test to know this little miracle is mine!” Bear has zero doubts — about Raiven’s intentions or his child’s paternity. “It is completely 100% impossible for it not to be given the time frame!” he reveals. Honestly? At this point he’s said more than fans deserve. He can just tell conspiracy theorists where to stick it and leave it at that. “So please remember,” Bear writes. “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!” That is some very good advice concerning a young reality TV couple who are just trying to live their lives. Bear then goes on to remind the world that he’s not just staying with Raiven because she’s pregnant. “Raiven is the love of my life,” Bear affirms strongly. Clearly! They dated for a full six months before they went public on their relationship. He then demands that anyone who considers themselves his fan “please show her the respect she deserves!” That is an extremely reasonable request — and he is, after all, the king of extreme . Bear didn’t devote his entire message to scolding hateful trolls. “And to everyone out there who has been so supportive!” Bear writes, yes, with his punctuation continuing to convey great enthusiasm. “Thank you!” he gushes. Bear then encourages his followers and supporters to “Stay AWESOME!” Awww, it was very good of him to stand up for the mother of his future child. Keep in mind that the hate with which Raiven has been bombarded hs played a factor on their relationship. How heavy a toll? It was why they broke off their engagement several weeks ago. People had attacked Raiven for being Bear’s girlfriend, for being pansexual, for being a relative newcomer to the family. All of that ranges from rude to bigoted to downright envious — Bear is, well, one of the more desired Browns as far as fans are concerned. This time, Bear is understandably scared that “fans” will ruin his real relationship for him again. Please be kind. View Slideshow: Alaskan Bush People: 13 Secrets They Don’t Want You to Know
