We guess that there’s no such thing as a happy medium. (Sorry) Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo and her husband have split after 28 years together. For a little perspective, 28 years is longer than Hollywood Medium Tyler Henry has even been alive. Theresa’s husband, Larry Caputo, has now opened up about what he believes went wrong. As we told you, the couple stunned the world with their joint statement: “After 28 years of marriage, we have decided to legally separate.” “We will always love each other and our two wonderful children.” They have two children: Larry Jr. and Victoria. “We are united in supporting each other and our family.” That’s good. We see so many couples separate and immediately start verbally tearing each other to shreds. “Please respect our privacy during this time.” All that we knew for context was what we’d seen on Long Island Medium — that things were less than ideal between the couple. Well, as of yesterday, we know a bit more: On last night’s season finale of Long Island Medium, Larry explained to his friend Danny how things had become difficult in the Caputo marriage. “We’re having a difficult time.” That much, at least, we knew. “I think a lot of the frustration has to do with us not spending the time together anymore.” That can be a killer in relationships, whether they’re brand new or long-established marriages. “Along with that comes the lack of communication so it’s like losing your best friend. It’s hard.” That sounds so sad. ““As much as I try to busy myself so I’m not thinking about it, it’s still there.” The realities of your relationship don’t go away, no matter how much you try to distract yourself. “I know it’s very trying for both of us. I don’t want to make it just about me. I know it’s the same for Theresa also.” It’s good that he was feeling so much empathy for his wife, even as their relationship became strained. We don’t know whether they decided to release their statement about separation the night before the season finale to bring clarification, or in the hopes of a nice ratings boost. We don’t see why it can’t be both. But it’s so promising that the two of them are managing to get along so well. Time spent apart — because of busy careers — can really be crushing to even the sturdiest of marriages. We should note that it’s always sounded like there’s room for reconciliation and to repair this marriage. Let’s hope that they can find a way to rekindle their former happiness. The funny thing about time spent apart is that we wonder if that will stop being such a big deal in the future. Long-distance relationships are more common than ever among young people. They FaceTime or text or chat while playing multiplayer games together to catch up. it’s not the same as physical nearness, but some young couples spend the first months or even years of their relationships apart from each other. We can’t help wondering if those who begin their relationships far apart will build stronger bonds that can endure distance when they’re older. But that won’t help Theresa or Larry now. Now, during their separation, these two will have to decide whether they’re happier apart than they were together. View Slideshow: Celebrity Break-Ups: Who Called It Quits in 2017?
A Texas history teacher was arrested this week and charged with sexual assault with an ex-student after meeting up with him at a local Chick-fil-A restaurant. People Magazine was the first outlet to report the incident. According to court records, Michelle Schiffer has been charged with engaging in an improper relationship with a student who is now 16 years old. He was 15 at the time of the sexual encounter. Schiffer is 23. The teacher told authorities that she met the unnamed student at the aforementioned fast food restaurant before they went to a friend’s home to have sex. The student, meanwhile, told authorities that Schiffer picked him up once at a park in her car – and then the inappropriate twosome drove around the neighborhood before having sex in a parking lot. This second allegation was reported by local TV station CW39. The same network adds that Schiffer and the student had sex on multiple occasions. Schiffer teaches world history at Cypress Springs High School in Cypress, Texas. She was ordered to appear in court on Wednesday to face her charges, while a judge has set bond at $30,000. Official records indicate that Schiffer posted the amount later that day and is now a free woman. Having admitted that she also smoked marijuana with this student in the car, it’s also safe to classify her as a messed up woman. The Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District has said in a statement that the 23-year old was immediately removed from campus and placed on administrative leave once they learned of the charges. We’d have to imagine she’ll soon be fired. “We will continue to protect our students and not tolerate relationships of an inappropriate nature,” the statement reads. No word on the scandal from Chick-fil-A, although there’s no real reason for the chain to speak out. It continues to provide consumers with delicious chicken sandwiches, while not being a big fan of gay people. Here’s a look, meanwhile, at other teachers who have had sex with students. For hilarious shame on them… View Slideshow: 31 Teachers 2 Hot 4 Students
Talk about a tale of two wives… As previously reported, Matt Lauer has very few friends in light of the sexual harassment, misconduct and assault claims recently made against him. But one unexpected source of support has actually been his ex-wife, Nancy Alspaugh, who told Entertainment Tonight that she has reached out to Lauer and supports him “one hundred percent,” even adding: “He’s been the best person that’s ever held that job… “I couldn’t imagine that anything that he would have done – that would have been so out of character for him – that would have caused that reaction.” She’s referring, of course, to the reaction of NBC to allegations that Lauer acted inappropriately in the presence of at least one co-worker. Inappropriate in a sexual manner, that is, which caused the network to terminate Lauer’s contact this past Monday night. Conversely, however, Lauer’s current wife is showing her husband no such support. According to The New York Post, Annette Roque has actually fled the United States in the wake of these horrible accusations. She has allegedly taken the couple’s two youngest children – Romy, 14, and Thijs, 11 – and returned to her native Netherlands to be with family. (The couple also share a 16-year old son named Jack.) Roque and Lauer actually field for divorce over a decade ago, prior to changing their mind. There’s been talk for years that Lauer has not been loyal to his wife, as he lives at least half of the time in New York City; while she and the kids reside in Long Island. Seven months pregnant in 2006 when she filed to legally split from Lauer, Roque cited “cruel and inhumane” treatment in her official papers, mentioning Lauer’s “extremely controlling” behavior at the time. The two have since reconciled, but it’s barely even a secret that they live separate lives. “They play happy families at their Hamptons home on weekends, and then she lets him run off to New York to do Today – and goodness knows what else,” an East End source told to Radar Online in September. Hollywood, meanwhile, remains rocked by the Lauer scandal. Yes, it’s just the latest in a long line of alleged sexual misbehavior by male stars such as Kevin Spacey, Louis CK and Charlie Rose. But Lauer was the face of NBC, the highest paid employee at the network, the person who greeted millions of Americans every morning. Said News Chairman Andrew Lack in the statement that confirmed Lauer’s firing: “While it is the first complaint about his behavior in the over 20 years he’s been at NBC News, we were also presented with reason to believe this may not have been an isolated incident. “Our highest priority is to create a workplace environment where everyone feels safe and protected and to ensure that any actions that run counter to our core values are met with consequences, no matter who the offender. “We are deeply saddened by this turn of events.” The embattled morning anchor has since apologized in a statement of his own, saying on Thursday: “There are no words to express my sorrow and regret for the pain I have caused others by words and actions. To the people I have hurt, I am truly sorry.” Since this story broke, follow-up reports have claimed Lauer dropped his pants in front of staffers, gifted them with sex toys and may have even raped one of them . He’ll never work on television again, that much is certain. View Slideshow: Matt Lauer: A Timeline of Terrible Behavior
Just a few days ago, we got the most wonderful news that we’d heard in a very, very long time … Jersey Shore is coming back! For real this time, too, not just for one lame special . MTV announced the big news during the series premiere of their new show, Floribama Shore, a Jersey Shore “spin-off” set down south. Or really, Snooki announced the big news in a short little teaser that aired along with the show, screaming “We’re back, bitches!” It’s enough to warm your heart and give you hope in the hopeless time, isn’t it? We don’t have too many details yet — we know the new show will be called Jersey Shore Family Vacation , and it will air sometime in 2018. Snooki — or Nicole Polizzi, as she may prefer to go by now — will be there, of course, as will her bestie, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, and her fellow meatball, Deena Nicole Cortese. Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino will also be going on that family vacation, along with Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, and the delightful Paul “Pauly D” Delvecchio. So who’s missing? You know, besides Angelina, lovingly known by her former castmates as the Staten Island Dump. You know who’s missing — Sammi Giancola. Yes, for some totally unfair reason, we’re getting new Jersey Shore in 2018, but we won’t be seeing Sammi Sweetheart. And we came so close to heaven, didn’t we? Ever since the news of Sammi’s absence broke, Jersey Shore fans everywhere have been in mourning — and they’ve also been demanding answers. Up until now, we haven’t had any real explanation for why she won’t be there with the rest of those lovable guidos and guidettes. Some sources claimed that she was working on a deal to appear on Celebrity Big Brother, but most fans assume that she just doesn’t want to film with Ronnie again after all these years. It makes sense — if you’ve seen literally any footage from the show, you know that Sammi and Ronnie had a ridiculously toxic relationship. Remember how many times they broke up and got back together, just to break up again? How many times they made each other cry? What about the time that he trashed her room after a fight? Or the time that she punched him in the face just for talking to JWoww? Ooh, ooh, how about the time that he referred to her “Fred Flinstone toe” and she lost her mind? Yeah, so Ronnie and Sammi have some history, and it would make sense if they didn’t want to be around each other after everything that’s happened between them. But is that the whole reason Sammi’s not coming back? According to Snooki, yep. On a podcast earlier this week, Snooki said “Everyone’s asking why Sammi’s not doing it. You have to ask her that, I’m not gonna speak for her.” But then she went on to say that “Sammi is just in such a happy place that I feel like she doesn’t want to jump back into that drama if it does happen.” “And being that there was a lot of Ron and Sam drama when we did film, it was just really hard on both of them,” she added. “So I just think she doesn’t want that anymore.” That’s more than fair, but still disappointing. Don’t give up hope yet though — filming still hasn’t started yet, and Snooki revealed that the rest of the crew has been “begging her to come back on the show” because “it’s gonna be different.” “Everyone pray that Sammi comes back,” she said, “because I feel like she might change her mind.” “Sam, if you’re listening, come to the show. Like, stop being — stop it. Stop it right now before I spank you.” Yes, Sam, please. Stop Or, to speak to her in her own language, “OH MY GAAAAAHD, STAAAAAHP.” View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?
