If you watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey o nline , you know that group trips to exotic locales are an annual tradition, and often, the Garden State gals’ vacay proves to be the dramatic high point of the season This year things are a little different, as Teresa Giudice’s legal troubles have resulted in travel restrictions, but while the ladies had to make due with a Vermont ski trip instead of jetting off to Punta Cana, tempers still heated up: Update: sources close to Radar allege that Jacqueline Laurita was involved. “Jacqueline went crazy last night ,” the source told Radar , adding that she was duking it out with Gorga. Both Laurita and a new castmate left the holiday early; the group arrived on Monday and were due to leave on Friday. Radar Online is reporting that two cast members returned from the trip early and Bravo lawyers are investigating after a fight erupted at the quiet resort where the women are staying. “They arrived in Vermont on Monday, and had been scheduled to stay until Friday,” a source tells the website. “Bravo lawyers had to get involved. It was extremely serious, and viewers will be shocked.” Bad news for the future of the show (there had already been rumors that RHONJ was on the chopping blick due to its difficult cast), but there’s some good news for fans of Teresa Giudice. “[Teresa] absolutely wasn’t involved in any of the drama,” the insider says. “She has been very low key, and is still on the trip.” Teresa is still on probation , and even the slightest altercation might have sent her back to jail, so it looks like for once, she stayed out of it.

Jenelle Evans doesn’t just want full custody of her son Kaiser, she wants baby daddy Nathan Griffith to pay up. The Teen Mom 2 star is reportedly under the impression that her ex is a thousandaire, rolling in fat checks he receives from the government for his past military service. And Jenelle, allegedly, thinks she deserves a piece . “Jenelle is putting the child support on Nathan,” a source told Radar Online. “She thinks he owes her something.” The site reports that Nathan had gotten monthly checks as payment for suffering post-traumatic stress disorder and a crippling injury to the brain as a result of his service. “He was getting over $3,000 a month in 2014,” claimed the source. “It’s called ‘compensation’ for being ‘disabled’ as a result of his deployment.” We don’t know what Jenelle’s attorneys have planned, but we’re fairly certain Nathan isn’t going down without a fight. He’s already proven he’s willing to beg, borrow and steal (okay, just steal) for his kid when he made off with Jenelle’s car and $1,000 worth of belongings that were in it. He allegedly wanted to seize a car seat and a stroller that were in the vehicle in order to prove to the courts that he bought things for Kaiser. Sounds like a solid plan. “Jenelle doesn’t know how much she will get,” the source added. “It depends on how much they make him pay per month and then it will all be added up.” This isn’t the only custody battle Jenelle is facing. She is also going head to head with her mother Barbara , who currently has custody of Jenelle’s son Jace. Jenelle and Nathan are said to duke it out over child support in court next month. Godspeed.

It’s been a tumultuous year for the 19 Kids and Counting clan, but after a year of scandals and exposed secrets, the Duggars are ready to return to television next week, with a full season of their spinoff series, Jill & Jessa: Counting On . Based on the Counting On trailer released yesterday, Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard will mainly participate from afar, as the couple is still performing missionary work in Central America . Fortunately, the distance and their rustic living conditions haven’t prevented the Dillards from keeping in touch with fans. Jill posted the above photo last night, along with a lengthy caption singing the praises of her husband, who turns 27 today: “ Since I’m on wifi today…I wanna say happy birthday to the most amazing man in the whole world, my hubby! I love you more than you know @derickdillard. “You are so caring and thoughtful and an amazing dad! Thank you for the late night talks, a shoulder to cry on, painting my nails, and helping with the little things like late night diaper changes, dishes and laundry at just the right times! “I love watching Israel’s face light up when he sees you and watching the way you interact with him.He loves playing fútbol with his papa! You’re my knight in shining armor and the of my life! “I’m blessed beyond measure! I love you and Israel does too! I pray every year you’ll be closer to Jesus than the year before!” the reality star shared, adding the hashtags, “#HappyBirthday #lovemyhubby #celebrateonedayearly #honeymoonpic. ” Derick isn’t the only member of the Duggars’ inner circle to celebrate a birthday recently. Jill’s troubled older brother, Josh Duggar, turned 28 last week, and he also celebrated from afar. Though instead of performing missionary work in El Salvador, Josh is undergoing sex addiction treatment in Illinois. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos
She’s got her hands full with a toddler and an infant, but “finding wife for Harry” must be written down somewhere in her diary. The Duchess of Cambridge is apparently fuming that Prince Harry has enlisted the help of his step-mother, the Duchess of Cornwall in a quest to find true love. Or a wife. Whichever comes first. This is according to Celebrity Dirty Laundry , a site that never ceases to entertain when it comes to fabricated royal stories. “Prince Harry has turned to stepmother Camilla Parker-Bowles for advice about finding a wife,” the site claims. “Kate Middleton is livid that Prince Harry is ignoring her advice and has approached her arch rival Camilla for help choosing a Royal bride .” RUDE! “The Duchess of Cambridge loves her brother-in-law and wants to see him happy,” the site helpfully points out. “Sources say she is not going to let Camilla influence Harry’s choice of a Royal bride. An insider says this latest development has ‘sparked a royal war. You can bet Kate will go all-out to find Harry a bride before Camilla does.'” Right, so in January Harry reportedly admitted to wanting to get married. “I’m not dating and for the first time ever I want to find a wife,” the prince was believe to have told TV presenter Denise van Outen at a party. Then it was revealed that he hooked up with American Juliette Labelle over the New Year in Los Angeles. Now it’s anyone’s guess who Harry is snogging at the moment, and with his upcoming official visit to Nepal, there is no time to fit in a royal wedding by year’s end. Should Harry need a royal bride at the ready, I volunteer. View Slideshow: 16 Times Prince Harry Made Us Royally Swoon
Fox Sports anchor and Dancing With the Stars co-host Erin Andrews just scored a major legal victory in her highly-publicized lawsuit against the Marriott International hotel chain. Back in October, Andrews sued Marriott for $75 million, alleging that the company allowed peeping tom Michael barrett to request the room next to hers without informing her of the potential danger. The result was a nude video of Andrews that went viral online in 2009. The veteran sports journalist and TV personality says she was severely traumatized by the incident, and was nearly forced to abandon her career due to feelings of shame and humiliation. Andrews stated in court testimony that she believes the Marriott corporation and Barrett are both directly responsible for her years of suffering, and today, the jury agreed with her. It was reported moments ago that Andrews has been awarded $55 million in her lawsuit. The damages were divided equally between the two defendants, with Barrett ordered to pay $28 million, and the Marriott the remaining $27 million. Barrett already pled guilty in a criminal case and spent two years behind bars. Andrews – who had previously given highly emotional testimony – reportedly broke down in tears as the ruling was announced.
On The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 10, Ben Higgins had to face the music from all the women he has cut loose thus far here in 2016. As always, if you want to know who wins Ben’s final final rose on the finale … there was not a lot in this two hours of filler for you. Then again, The Bachelor spoilers have you covered. Hard. If you prefer to remain spoiler-free … don’t click the link above, but feel free to read our recap of the nonsense that is the Women Tell All . In the aftermath of the overnight dates, The Bachelor Season 20 Episode 10 saw Mr. Higgins and other familiar faces in the hot seat. If you watch The Bachelor online , you know how this annual prelude to the finale goes, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t highlights. Yes, season after season, the filler is mundane, but at least we know Rachel is still Unemployed, and Tiara is still a Chicken Enthusiast. We also got to revisit Jubilee, a.k.a. Jubs, who became a fan favorite with many viewers, but not a favorite among the girls in the house. Jami and Amber claimed Jubilee called herself “the real black girl,” and saying things like “you’re not black enough” to Jami and Amber. Lace, a.k.a. the Crazy Girl from earlier this season, and Olivia Caridi, who claimed her insane title and then some, both made appearances. In Olivia’s case, she didn’t come across as sympathetic as she’d (probably) hoped, but she did get a chance to apologize to her co-stars. There was at least a little self-awareness there, no? Also, Becca Tilley forgot which season she was on and referred to The Bachelor as Chris (Soules) in a blooper shown to the audience. Just imagine when Nick Viall returns for a third season and woos Caila Quinn The Bachelorette this summer. He’s destined to do this. And finally, Ben Higgins is engaged !! To someone! We don’t know who, of course, but he flat out said that he would marry the person he chose tomorrow if he could. So it’s going well. Or he’s putting on a good front. One or the other. Who do you think Ben will pick? Who should he pick? Hit the comments below to discuss, and yes, read the spoilers above for answers .

The latest, iconic season of Teen Mom OG is now a part of history, but Dr. Drew is back to pick up the pieces in the post-mortem reunion. Last week, Farrah Abraham broke down as she recalled the events of the past year. On the docket for Monday’s Part II? Where to begin … As expected Amber Portwood and Gary Shirley – and Amber’s fiance Matt Baier – battled it out in front of the cameras Monday night. The lovebirds and enemies have been embroiled in an epic beef, with Gary calling Matt’s life “trash” and saying he’s a deadbeat dad. Rumors have been circulating for months to that effect. Amber categorically explained that her man does not have seven children, or eight, as some sources claim … Matt Baier has five kids. Whom he has never abandoned, thankyouverymuch. Gary, of course, blindsided Amber with a report that Baier has seven kids on the show – a tactic Matt called him out for on the reunion. “I was completely shocked because I’m thinking in my head, ‘Oh, my God – this man has seven kids. He lied to me,'” Amber explained. Matt’s explanation: “Those are really painful memories for me, so I kinda pushed them aside. It gets made to be more seedy than it really was.” “Oh, ‘He had children when he was younger, and then he abandoned them in despair.’ That’s not what happened. They have families.” “They were raised in wonderful families. I would have done nobody any good being around them back then. Five. There’s five total.” Despite Matt calling his baby mamas publicity hungry and denouncing many of the rumors as a “fallacy,” Gary Shirley wasn’t buying it. “We’re dealing with your whole life of trash too, though,” he said. “How can a man adore my kid but not his own, his own flesh and blood?” A fair question, even if his tactics and tone need work. Dr. Drew ended up having to sit between Matt and Gary, registering around an 8.5 on the unintentional comedic awkwardness scale. Gary Shirley: Matt Baier’s Life is Trash! Teen Mom Sneak Peek: Matt Baier Has A LOT of Kids! Meanwhile, the video of Catelynn Lowell calling Farrah Abraham a hoebag was addressed, as was Tyler Baltierra’s suicide attempt. Regarding the latter, Tyler revealed that he attempted to take his own life in middle school … only his attempt to hang himself failed. “I thought once I jumped, my neck’s just gonna snap, and that’s gonna be straight … I’m gonna be done,” the reality star explained. “When I jumped, and I’m struggling, and I can’t touch the ground, you know what I mean? I was like, ‘Oh, my God … this isn’t what I want.” Tyler, who also admitted to being a “cutter,” said he tried to hide his injuries, but that his found him with “a rope burn from ear to ear.” Meanwhile, Catelynn spoke of her own struggle with depression, saying she also contemplated suicide until Tyler pulled her out of it. “He was the one who made me go see a psychologist,” she said, driving home just how much they’ve been through, and care for each other. As for Tyler’s dad Butch? “Last time I see my ma, she’s flying through a kitchen window,” he told Dr. Drew via video chat last night. Wait … what in the … ? “[My father] thought that my ma was sleeping with the neighbor, Earl. He had a steel hand. He was hardcore.” These days, “my life is just so great right now, my soul can barely handle it,” he said. “I feel that I’m very adolescent … I try to stay in shape.” “I get a lot of response from the Instagram and the Twitter.” Dr. Drew said it best: “Slow clap for Butch for just about everything he’s said.” As for Farrah and Catelynn and their epic shade? There were insults and accusations thrown, and clearly there’s some bad blood here. It all culminated in Farrah uttering the all-time iconic sentence: “I don’t even go out of my way to engage in this conversation. Goodbye.” Apparently that did the trick. Cate apologized for saying “hurtful things” and said she “had a buzz,” and Farrah accepted this. #Blessed. View Slideshow: 31 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time
The social media queen herself got scrappy with other celebs. Or did she? In a very bizarre, very uncharacteristic move, Kim Kardashian tweeted back to celebrities who made fun of her nude selfie, which the reality star posted on March 7th . Piers Morgan and Bette Midler’s were the most popular, prompting Kardashian to respond publicly. Midler FTW: Cheesy joke, but all in good fun from Mr. Morga: What’s weird is that the responses from Kardashian were too outlandish and obnoxious to be from Kardashian herself. My theory (and that of Morgan’s) is that West got ahold of his wife’s account and went HAM on her haters. After Chloe Grace retweeted Midler’s tweets, Kardashian/West went after her right quick. This prompted Moretz to clarify her part in this whole mess. “There’s a huge difference in respecting the platform that you’re given as a celebrity and ‘slut shaming’ something I never have done and would never do,” Moretz tweeted last night. Meanwhile, Kardashian/West tweeted about the $53 million that West had admitted to losing from his creative endeavors. A few hours before the rants began, West asked tweeted something cryptic from his own account. “Question… Why do people not want me to be me? I want people to be the best version of themselves and I will be the best version of me,” he wrote. “Please avoid trying to talk me out of being me in the future. ###hashtag all positive vibes.” Hokay. Before this all started, Kardashian tweeted about the photo, which some fans thought was a post-baby body reveal. That sounds more like the Kardashian we’ve come to know, and not the crazy cakes who created a much talked-about scene. Change that password, Kimmy. Don’t let someone’s “creativity” cloud your lucrative business sense. View Slideshow: Kanye West Rants on Twitter, Defends Taylor Swift Lyric
Last week, Farrah Abraham claimed that she was “almost raped” by an Uber driver back in January. At one point, Abraham claimed she had video of the attack , and she announced on her podcast that she intended to pursue legal action against both the driver and the Uber corporation. It turned out the footage showed nothing other than Abraham verbally attacking the man , and she now admits that the driver never touched her or spoke to her inappropriately, but instead “looked at her lecherously,” leading her to believe that “the situation could have escalated into a rape situation.” “I got into the car and the gentleman was looking me up and down,” Farrah recently clarified, perhaps fearing legal retaliation. “Something was wrong with him, like he was mentally disabled.” It seems an argument erupted when the driver asked Farrah, an unidentified friend, and her boyfriend at that time, Simon Saran, to walk down the street to his car, as he was unable to pull into the parking lot of the hotel where they were staying. Farrah fought with the man in the hotel lobby, but eventually, she and her companions walked with him to his car. Once there, Abraham refused to get inside, claiming that the man looked her at in a way that made her uncomfortable. The Teen Mom star did not offer an explanation for why she initially claimed that the man attempted to rape her. View Slideshow: 31 Dumbest Farrah Abraham Quotes of All Time
Over the weekend, Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna broke up after less than six weeks of dating. Less than 24 hours later, Rob took to Instagram to clarify that he and Blac are still together , and he even hinted at the possibility of marriage. So what caused the unexpected couple to call it quits and reconcile so quickly? Well, not surprisingly, Rob’s family – and the fact that they openly haven’t approved of this relationship from the start – reportedly played a role. “They had a fight because of his family and it just blew up from there,” one insider tells E! News. “The family is still not accepting of the relationship and that’s causing huge tension between them. They really like one another but new relationships are tough, especially when the people that are closest to him do not approve.” Yes, sources say Kylie Jenner even celebrated the breakup with friends during the few hours when it looked as though Rob and Blac were really through. Not a terribly surprising revelation, as Kylie and Blac have been feuding for years as a result of Kylie’s relationship with Blac’s baby daddy, Tyga. View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner vs. Blac Chyna Feud: A Complete Anthology of Shade! Unfortunately for Kylie, the breakup didn’t last, and insiders say it was essentially just an one big online emotional putburst from Rob and Blac, both of who are highly emotional and feel that they’re being pulled in different directions. “It’s a constant battle between his family and her,” says the source. “He is an emotional person, so at times he sides with Blac Chyna and other times he can be influenced by his family. And when that happens Blac Chyna gets upset. “He is being pulled in two different directions. He loves Blac Chyna, but he misses his family. It’s a bit of a mess. He’s in a difficult position.” We’d suspect that this is all being staged for Keeping Up With the Kardashians , but Rob doesn’t even participate in the show! Perhaps life as a Kardashian really is as dramatic as it seems. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna Photos: Her Most Scandalous, Sexy Pics on Instagram!
