More sad news today out of the television world. A few hours after we learned that Bill Paxton died at the age of 61, due to complications after heart surgery, TMZ is reporting that Jospeh Wapner has also passed away. The retired judge rose to surprise TV stardom as the host of The People’s Court. He was 97 years old. Long before Judge Judy and many others in this profession used the small screen to take their career to a new and famous level, Judge Wapner sat on the bench in September of 1981 at the front of The People Court. In many ways, it was the first reality show of all-time. And Wapner earned instant fandom as its clear-cut star. Opinionated, intelligent, affable and humorous, Wapner led the series for 12 years and 2,484 total episodes. He earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in recognition of his work in the entertainment space. . The program itself was parodied on Saturday Night Live. In Rain Man, Dustin Hoffman was often quoted as his character of Raymond for saying there were only “three minutes to Wapner,” an expression that took on a life of its own for years. Prior to signing on as a television judge, Wapner served as an L.A. County Superior Court judge for over two decades. According to TMZ insiders, he was hospitalized last week after suffering a few breathing problems. The condition sadly grew worsen, prompting a transfer to his home in Los Angeles on Friday, February 24, at which time Wapner was placed hospice care. He passed away on Sunday morning. After The People’s Court was canceled in 1993, it aired in syndication until it was revived for a second incarnation in September 1997. For this version, former attorney and mayor of New York Ed Koch replaced Wapner for two seasons and was later succeeded by Judge Jerry Sheindlin and Florida State Circuit Court Judge Marilyn Milian, the latter of whom has since become the show’s longest-reigning arbiter. Wapner is survived by his wife of 70 years, Mickey Wapner, and their three children. May he rest in peace. View Slideshow: Celebrities Who Died in 2017: In Memoriam

Los Angeles premiere of ‘Get Hard’ at the TCL Chinese Theatre – Red Carpet Arrivals Singer & Reality Star Filed For Divorce From TI Dec. 7 Tiny Harris said in her divorce papers that she and her kids have been living apart from husband TI for some time, and asked the court for alimony, child support and half of all the assets the exes accumulated during their marriage. The former member of Xcsape revealed the current nature of her relationship with the “Whatever You Like” rapper in her divorce petition, which was filed earlier this month and exclusively obtained by BOSSIP. Tiny said her marriage is “irretrievably broken” and that there is no chance that they’ll get back together. The estranged wife of TI said they’ve been living apart for some time and asked the court for primary legal custody of their children. “The parties are living in a bona fide state of separation,” Tiny wrote in her petition. Indeed, tax records obtained by BOSSIP show Tiny has been paying property taxes on a $1.6 million mansion a few towns away from TI’s tony $2 million pad for at least a year, according to the Henry County Tax Department. The revelations will shatter their image as an intact blended family and call into question whether scenes from their reality show “The Family Hustle” were actually faked. She’s asked for both temporary and permanent child support and alimony “in an amount consistent with the parties standard of living,” according to her court filing.

Gilbert Arenas Taunts Laura Govan’s Court Loss On Instagram Gilbert Arenas is once again back in “No Chill Gil” mode after the court made the decision to slash Laura Govan’s monthly child support payments from $40k to just a measly $10k. The baller has been claiming that he’s far too broke to keep up with payments or even send his kids to the private school they’ve been enrolled in for years — despite blatantly flaunting “gold-digger proof” cash he’s hiding in plain sight for his kids exclusively. In typical fashion, Gil went IN on Laura’s loss, even going so far as to make a whole emoji set taunting her 30,000 set back. PETTY. CITY. BUt of course, he Gil would never leave it at just that… He says he’ll probably have to start wearing a bulletproof vest now that angry-azz Laura’s budget has been cut… Well, you’d hardly need a roommate when pulling in $10k a month. But we get where the sentiment is… What do you think of Gilbert’s IG outburst?? Splash/AKM-GSI/WENN
