Tami Roman To Leave Basketball Wives Tami Roman is officially moving on from the Basketball Wives Franchise. According to The Blaze , despite receiving a handsome offer from Vh1 to return for the show’s 7th season, Tami has reportedly decided to move on to other opportunities instead of boxing and tossing glasses of water on the other sports exes on the show. Besides, she hasn’t been tied to a basketball player since her divorce from Kenny Anderson in 2001. Tami’s “Bonnet Chronicles” IG clips has garnered big popularity and the account a major following, and offers have apparently been coming in to turn her comedy sketches and witty advice into a full-on series, so Tami’s a bit more interested in that. Well, we can’t blame her for moving on! Leave the grappling with coo-coo Jackie Christie and Evelyn to someone else for a change. Will you miss Tami on the show? Getty/WENN
Get ready for a blast from the past! Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt welcomed their first child into the world. Of all of the reality couples on all of the shows, those two are the ones who are still together and starting a family. But we’ve only just now learned who little Gunner Pratt’s godmother is: none other than Jen Bunney. The Hills was a veritable pioneer of reality television. It wasn’t a competition or a documentary — it was just a group of ridiculous people being filmed living their ridiculous lives. That’s not unusual at all, now. Back in the day, though, only a few shows really matched that description. Jen Bunney wasn’t as big of a name as Heidi Montag or Lauren Conrad, but she had her moments. What might have been her biggest and most life-changing moment of all was allegedly hooking up with Brody Jenner, Lauren Conrad’s crush, during Lauren’s own birthday party during the show’s second season. Yikes. And Lauren Conrad was, from that point on, completely done with Jen, and excised her from her life entirely. Whatever “shady thing” she did with him was the subject of no shortage of speculation until just a couple of years ago, when Brody Jenner denied that they’d hooked up. Specifically, he was at the time blasting The Hills (and perhaps reality television in general) as “fake” and mentioned that he “didn’t have sex with Jen Bunney.” He went even further, insisting that he “didn’t hook up with any of these girls.” Jen Bunney took to Instagram to respond to Brody Jenner’s admission, succinctly writing: “Cool #toolittletoolate” Considering how much that one allegation changed Jen’s life, that’s an understandable response. Though Heidi and Spencer had been the ones who encouraged Jen to kiss Brody at the time (even though we now know that it didn’t lead to sex), Jen has maintained a fast friendship with Heidi in particular. But also with Spencer. They’re a package deal. Both Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt were guests at Jen Bunney’s 2014 wedding to Taylor Dunphy. It’s not unusual for friends to be there for such major life milestones, of course, but it’s a great sign that they formed a lasting bond. It’s clear that the stars of The Hills have done a lot of growing up over the years. (Well, Spencer Pratt still makes an ass of himself , but … that’s who he is, we guess) Heidi’s reconnected with her mom, and now Heidi and Spencer are new parents. And look at who the proud godmother is: In a clip from Heidi’s Instagram story, Heidi and Jen celebrated baby Gunner Stone Pratt. ( Gunner is an odd name that may refer to the Viking name Gunnar, which basically means “warrior.” And Stone is a perfect middle name for a child whose parents spent considerable chunks of their lost fortune on, well, crystals) Heidi announced: “Cheers, I have one of Gunner’s godmothers here, Jen Bunney!” We love that “one of” line. Exactly how many godmothers does Gunner have? Jen Bunney added: “We’re celebrating Gunner. He’s the best baby ever. We love him so much!” These days, by the way, Jen Bunney is working in the healthcare field and, last we checked, was working on her Masters. Considering that the original cast members of The Hills are all in new stages in their lives, now seems like a perfect time for a revival of the series. Especially since there’s a new Pratt that fans could watch grow up. Spencer, who has changed his Twitter name to “Pratt Dad” in honor of Gunner’s birth, says that everyone who was on The Hills would be up for such a reboot. Well … almost everyone. “The entire cast is in minus LC” Yeah, Lauren Conrad’s gonna be a hard sell.
Ralphie May launched his comedy career after being the first runner-up on Last Comic Standing in 2003. Since then, he’s had endless stand-up specials. Unfortunately, Ralphie May has died at the age of 45. And we have a few details about that. … Ralphie May often joked about his own mortality. During one stand-up special (I want to say that it was Girth of a Nation , but I can’t swear to it), he refers to how surely no one in the audience would be surprised if he fell over dead of a heart attack at that very moment, given the degree of his obesity. In his no-holds-barred stand-up (including titles — again, he had a show titled Girth of a Nation ), he didn’t shy away from referring to his weight. Some of his clothing seemed selected to emphasize his frame rather than, as many might do, minimize it. TMZ reports that Ralphie May has died of cardiac arrest. After a 6-week battle with pneumonia during which he nonetheless continued to perform his shows in Vegas, Ralphie died of cardiac arrest. He was in a private residence in Vegas, and that is reportedly where someone discovered his body. After 10 years of marriage, Ralphie and his wife and fellow stand-up artist Lahna Turner had gotten a divorce … which quickly became an ugly custody battle. Back in October of 2015, Lahna Turner filed divorce documents, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple has a 10-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old son, and the fight over custody has continued even in 2017. Earlier this year, Ralphie May — who has never been shy about his fondness for marijuana — even agreed to random drug tests in order to be allowed to have visitations with his children. He was granted two visitations a week (which were to be supervised) and an additional Skype call. Ralphie will be remembered for more than just his comedy career. (Though we expect Netflix views of his shows to go up over the weekend) In late June of 2016, TMZ reported that Ralphie May had saved a baby’s life . In an airport, the baby was choking and the mother cried out for help. One person tried but failed to help, and then Robbie successfully performed the Heimlich maneuver and restored the baby’s ability to breathe. It’s not really a surprise that he learned it — custody battle or no, he was a parent, and he’d no doubt learned as so many parents do about how to potentially save their children’s lives. Or maybe he’d just picked it up like others do, from television or whatever. It’s easy to see celebrities who just do one thing — like comedy — as totally one-dimensional when, in reality, they’re anything but. While Ralphie May joked about his mortality and would doubtless joke about his own demise if he could, this is definitely sad news. He had a tremendous talent for making people laugh and bringing people joy. We can only imagine how much his chidlren will miss him, because even those who were merely his fans are already in mourning. Rest in peace, Ralphie.

Some breakups are pretty amicable and the two parties remain friends. But others? Well…. others are less than amicable. Click through the following photos and stories to remember the splits that resulted in anger, bitterness and many mean social media posts: 1. Taylor Swift & Calvin Harris Their breakup was a shocker and it obviously hurt Calvin just how quickly she moved on from him with Tom Hiddleston. 2. Johnny Depp & Amber Heard This relationship came to a conclusion when Johnny allegedly struck Amber with a cell phone. 3. Kailyn Lory & Javi Marroquin There were constant arguments between this couple on Teen Mom 2, but Javi being deployed seemed to be the final straw. 4. Madonna & Sean Penn You know your relationship isn’t going well when there’s a nickname for it. The Poison Penns was a hilarious one. 5. Matt Damon & Minnie Driver Remember Matt Damon announced in an interview that he was single and he failed to let Minnie Driver know? Talk about awkward. 6. Kim Kardashian & Kris Humphries After a 72-day marriage, Kris Humphries felt that Kim had exploited their relationship for money and ratings. Was he right? View Slideshow
The 69th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air on Sunday, September 17. Stephen Colbert will host the star-studded event that will bring the best talent from the small screen together to celebrate the best shows on television. Who do we think will win the top prizes? Who do we think SHOULD win the top prizes? Find out below! 1. WILL Win: Best Comedy Series Veep is generally a hilarious comedy series, but the show was just not quite as funny during the most recent season. The acting was still on fine form, but Atlanta deserves the win. 2. SHOULD Win: Best Comedy Series Atlanta. The show was a roaring success when it debuted in 2016, and part of that was down to the solid script and acting from Donald Glover. It has a solid shot at winning, but this category may as well be named after Veep which will win. 3. WILL Win: Best Comedy Actress Julia Louis Dreyfus is one of the best comedy actresses out there, so we would not be totally mad about her winning. 4. SHOULD Win: Best Comedy Actress Tracee Ellis-Ross has great comedy timing and is very likeable as Bow Johnson, so we do think she’s in with a chance at winning. 5. WILL Win: Best Comedy Actor Jeffrey Tambor has been recognized in the past for his role on Transparent and the Emmy voters have been known to let the same person win more than once. 6. SHOULD Win: Best Comedy Actor Donald Glover turned in a convincing performance as Earn on Atlanta Season 1. Glover is a genius and deserves the award. View Slideshow

Getty Image Local Philly Reporter Spits On Comedy Club Manager, Says She Was “Drugged” After Getting FIRED A Philadelphia news reporter is trying to explain herself after acting a damn fool on camera, going to jail and coming out unemployed. Colleen Campbelll was caught on video displaying bizarre behavior outside of a Philadelphia comedy club called Helium. From the video, the 28-year-old seems to have had some trouble with someone inside and was asked to step out. That’s when she started to go off on an officer outside, spewing curse words and daring him to do something. It then looks like she attempted to spit on someone’s face. Thats when the officer had enough and placed her under arrest. According to phillymag.com , Campbell assaulted the officer once again, after the camera cut off. Below is the clip of Colleen Campbell that was viewed over a million times. Wil Sylvince, who shot the clip says: About last night: this very obnoxious lady, who wasn’t drunk (nor high I think) was disturbing the show with her “loud whispering”. After 3 warnings and other customers were complaining she was asked to leave. When she got kicked out she assaulted (kicking, punching, and eye poking) 3 of the employees in bar area right outside the showroom and then outside she mock spit in the mangers face when a cop came. [protected-iframe id=”9253acd53f79484c740dd3e024bb54dc-568005-3215498″ info=”https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https2F2Fwilsylvince2F10155404738669600%2F&show_text=1&width=560″ width=”560″ height=”606″ frameborder=”0″ style=”border:none;overflow:hidden” scrolling=”no”] By the time she was home from her incident, she found out she was fired. Poor thang. Now Colleen tells Philly Mag that she was probably drugged. Hit the flip for her explanation. PM: The video of you outside Helium has been viewed more than 1 million times. People are pretty shocked by it. CC: That’s not me or how I talk or act or anything at all. I don’t know what to do. I feel ruined and embarrassed for me and my family. PM: I saw your Facebook post where you raised the possibility of having been drugged. Were they able to do any tests to see what might have been in your system? CC: No. The police told me that it would slow the process. But at the police station, they had trouble taking my blood pressure. It was so high. I was worked up. PM: Why would it have slowed the process? CC: The nurse [at the police station] said if I send you to the hospital it will really delay everything. I just wanted to get out of there. I was really worried about my job. She gave me something similar to a Benadryl. Then later I woke up and had a panic attack. I never thought to get any test done. PM: Why do you think you were drugged? CC: Everything was foggy. I do remember coming in to Helium. I do remember getting into an altercation there, but I don’t remember what it was about. I only had two drinks at Helium. PM: On Facebook, you said you’d had one drink. Were you drinking prior to the two drinks at Helium? CC: Yes, I was working at Devil’s Den. I bartend there. And then we went to Cantina for a margarita, and I had two shots. But that was an hour before. Then we went to Helium, waited in line, got our drinks. I don’t even remember going out to the lobby. I do remember getting into the cop car. PM: Is there anything you’d like to say to the cop and the other people you acted out against in that video? CC: I feel awful. That’s not me or how I speak or how I talk or how I was raised. I had to delete all my social media, because I’m getting threats. PM: Given that you had at least five drinks, do you think it’s possible that your body was just reacting to the alcohol in your bloodstream? I really don’t know. I don’t know what to think. I know my limits. I’m a bartender. I didn’t feel wasted walking in. Damn, she was gone! Do you think she’ll be getting her job back??
