Source: Jeff Hahne / Getty Rapper Appears By Phone In Court Over Toddler Son’s Care After Autism Diagnosis A judge has denied Flo Rida’s baby mama’s request for more child support for their son’s expenses related to his autism therapy but ruled that the rapper must timely reimburse her for out of pocket costs. Lawyers for both Flo Rida and his son’s mother Alexis Adams were in court Friday where Adams’ lawyer asked for a child support increase in order to pay for their son’s medical needs and ongoing therapy after doctors diagnosed the boy as being on the autism spectrum earlier this year. Adams’ lawyer Ava Gutfriend argued that the insurance that the boy currently has doesn’t allow for out of network coverage, dental visits and ophthalmology, leaving Adams to pay the difference out of pocket, which she said can run into thousands of dollars. And when she’s given the receipts to Flo’s legal team, he’s taken up to a year to pay her back, Gutfriend said. But Flo Rida’s lawyer Howard Felcher said the “Welcome To My House” rapper never has never been in court for violating the support order and covered “100 percent” of his son’s needs. In the end, the judge said the lawyers should confer and come up with a system where Adams submits the boy’s unreimbursed medical bills to Flo Rida and he has to pay it in full within a set period of time. Both sides are due back in court in the fall.
Source: Bravo / Getty Cynthia Bailey Engaged to Sportscaster Bae Mike Hill’ According to People , congratulations are due in order for Cynthia Bailey and Mike Hill. After about 14 months of dating, the Real Housewives of Atlanta star and her Fox sportscaster bae are engaged to be married. Hill reportedly proposed to Bailey Friday evening with a 5 carat princess cut solitaire ring in Atlanta at the grand opening of her new business, The Bailey WineCeller. The surprise proposal was a family affair an everyone was there including Bailey’s daughter Noelle Robinson and Hill’s two daughters — Kayla and Ashlee — all in attendance, all well as the couple’s closest friends and Bailey’s RHOA cast mates. Mike reportedly enlisted the help of his and Cynthia’s daughters and Courtney Ajinça to make the proposal a total surprise. Hill started off a toast that was interrupted by Kaylee, who handed her dad a bottle with a big question mark on it and said, “No dad, I think you should propose like this.” Mike then called on Cynthia’s daughter, Noelle, to help him open the bottle and she handed over the ring box, the insider added. That’s when Mike reportedly “dropped to one knee and professed his love,” while his and Cynthia’s daughters “gathered behind him with a hand-made puzzle piece sign that real, ‘Can we be a family?’” This will be the second marriage for both Bailey and Hill.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards made everyone’s day on Tuesday with a scathing Twitter rant about the cast’s drama . The 29-tweet takedown saw Kyle spilling all the tea about her conflict with several cast members, and especially former costar Lisa Vanderpump. But there was no way Lisa was going to take that lying down, and now she’s clapping back in response to Kyle’s tweet-storm. “It’s ironic, now I’m not so hurt I can be more objective,” Lisa began, while discussing the drama with a fan on Thursday. “If I wanted to hurt any of them, there were so many things going on,” she said. According to Lisa, the ammo she had against her former costars included “lawsuits, bankruptcies, shops failing, shows cancelled, loans in default, etc.” “I never said a word,” the 58-year-old resterautuer recalled. Maybe she didn’t then, but it seems like now Lisa is ready to put social graces aside and throw a little shade herself. Lisa did preserve a bit of class, opting not to go into specifics, but it’s pretty clear what she’s talking about. The lawsuits Lisa mentioned must surely include the one against Kyle’s husband Mauricio. Mauricio’s real estate company is accused of scamming someone out of $37 million, and it’s been a tender subject for Kyle. The failed shop is likely Kyle’s Beverly Hills store, Kyle by Alene Too, which closed down for good last year. And the cancelled show is probably American Woman , another of Kyle’s projects, which was canned after just one season. It seems like most of Lisa’s shade is aimed at Kyle, even if she’s not exactly spelling it out for us. “Me on the other hand,” Lisa continued, “I am a liar, coward, sniper, bad teeth, awful friend.” “Terrible wine, the list goes on… awful really,” Lisa recalled, listing the many greivances her costars seem to have with her. Honestly though, Kyle didn’t mention any of those things in her twitter rant. Clearly Lisa has internalized some of the criticism she’s received from the cast elsewhere, and is choosing this moment to pop off about it. But let’s not put words in Kyle’s mouth. She didn’t show up on twitter just to assassinate Lisa’s character. As we can see from Kyle’s flurry of tweet’s, Lisa’s falling out with the cast is rooted in the now infamous dog drama between Lisa and Dorit Kemsley. Long story short, Dorit adopted a dog from Lisa’s Vanderpump Dog Foundation, and it didn’t work out. Instead of returning the dog to Lisa’s foundation, Dorit found a new owner for the dog, who in turn sent the dog to some other shelter. This apparent betrayal caused bad blood between Dorit and Lisa, and grew into a conflict between Lisa and pretty much all the other housewives. Rather than coming at Lisa for her “bad teeth,” Kyle accused her of “scheming about how to make your friend look bad.” According to Kyle, this scheming has become a pattern for Lisa, and that’s why none of the other housewives seem to like or trust her. It’s so important to really listen to your friends when they say they have a problem with your actions, especially if it’s a pattern of repeated behaviors. If your only response to criticism is to fixate on what names you’ve been called and shift the focus to someone else’s flaws, then you’re probably missing the point. Despite being ousted from the gang, Lisa seems to feel like she’s not missing out. “Glad I stepped away,” she said in summation. “Also pump rules has been amazing this year,” she concluded, taking the opportunity to plug her own show. Although Lisa won’t be on future seasons of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills , Part 3 of the Reunion Special will air next week on Bravo. Here’s hoping we’ll get to see Kyle stir up a little more chaos, be it on-screen or off. View Slideshow: Kyle Richards Tweets 29 Times, GOES OFF on Real Housewives Drama
The Real Housewives of Orange County shocked some fans by making major changes to the cast for Season 14. Case in point, Orange County OG Vicki Gunvalson was demoted to Friend status, and will only appear in cameos. But as one long-time Housewife leaves the spotlight, another will actually be returning to the series! That’s right, Meghan King Edwards will return for Season 14 to stir up some drama along with the rest of the gang. Meghan’s return notably comes after a two-year asbence from the series. Just like Vicki, Meghan will only be making cameos as a Friend of the Housewives. But hey, it’s better than not being on the show at all. Meghan is expected to feature in scenes with full Housewives Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador. We first met Meghan in 2015 when she joined the Orange County crew for Season 10. Even then, Meghan didn’t live in the area full-time. Instead, she would travel frequently between Orange County and her other home in St. Louis, with her husband Jim Edmonds. Jim played for the St. Louis Cardinals at the time, but his two oldest daughters lived in Orange County. As we have previously reported, a lot has changed for Meghan since 2015. She had her first daughter, Aspen, in 2016, then twin boys Hart and Hayes in 2018. Now she lives in Missouri full time, building her dream home with her family. That all sounds dreamy, but Meghan’s family life is far from perfect. Last month it came to light that Jim was having an affair. He admitted that he “engaged in inappropriate conversation” with another woman and also exchanged dirty photos over the phone. It sounds like the infidelity didn’t go as far as it could have. But it’s certainly enough that Meghan and Jim are now publicly working on their marriage. Meghan shed some light on the process in her Monday interview with DailyMail.com “We’re still married,” Meghan said, “we’re still together, we’re not separated.” She downplayed the drama, saying “We’re in the family home, we’re in the same bed.” “We’re not having therapy, we’re talking,” Meghan added. Choosing to trust someone who just betrayed your whole family is a big gamble, but Meghan seems unafraid. “I’ve just got to have faith that he’s not going to screw up,” Meghan explained. “But I know he’s not going to screw up,” she added, “He really wants to make this work.” And Jim’s shady behavior isn’t the only dilemma on Meghan’s plate. Meghan also revealed this month that her son Hart has “irreversible brain damage.” “Hart has minor Periventricular Leukomalacia on both sides of his brain,” Meghan shared on her blog earlier this month. She wrote that the condition causes Hart to have slightly delayed physical milestones as he grows. The condition also includes rigid muscles, stiff joints, and weakness in his lower back. According to Meghan, Hart could be diagnosed with cerebral palsy in the future, and will continue to be monitored. We are wishing Meghan all the best for her marriage and her family’s health. It seems like she’s going through an awful lot right now. Fans will have a chance to cheer Meghan on soon! The Real Housewives of Orange County will return next month on Bravo.

When Jersey Shore ‘s famous gang of guidos decided to spend a few days at a dude ranch in the Adirondacks, they had no idea what the outcome of Mike Sorrentino’s sentencing hearing would be. Now, of course, we know that Sorrentino was sentenced to eight months behind bars for tax fraud. He’ll likely be released to a halfway house sometime in the next six weeks, but at the time of the random mountain vacation and the heartwarming “ranchelor party,” Mike’s future seemed uncertain — and a little bit scary. But in the meantime, the guidos decided to handle the situation the same way they handle every situation — by partying, of course. Unfortunately, there was some disagreement as to what sort of party should take place. Party games and a surprise visit from Mike’s fiancee, or strippers, strippers, and more strippers? Bizarrely, the crew decided to do both, and somehow — it worked out. Lauren Pesce (or “Laurens,” as she’s known on the show, for some reason) didn’t seem bothered by the presence of every stripper in the Tri-State area, and she and Mike eventually made their way to their own cabin, complete with rose petals on the bed and a pair of assless chaps. (Serious question: Is “assless chaps” a redundancy? Is there any other kind of chap?) There were other developments, of course, including Snooki getting so plowed there were times when it looked like we were about to witness a death by alcohol poisoning. But the big drama of the night came when Ronnie Ortiz-Magro decided to ask Jenni Farley about her relationship. Farley was going through a divorce at the time and clearly had no interest in discussing the matter with Ron — or anyone, for that matter. And yet, he persisted — operating under the logic that if she had such strong opinions about his tumultuous relationship with Jen Harley , then her relationship should be fair game, as well. “That’s how you fell in love, right?” Ron asked Jenni referring to Mike and Laurens. “I don’t want to be on camera with this,” said an unusually taciturn JWoww. “It’s already out there, so just…” he replied. “We don’t talk about it here, though,” she promptly interrupted. It may seem a bit unbalanced, but Jenni may have made it clear that her relationship was off-limits for her discussion on the show, which makes Ron quite the d-bag for pursuing it. “You acting like you feel nothing? That doesn’t work for nobody ever,” he later said while opening up to Angelina, of all people. “Like, when me and Jen [Harley] fight, and she acts like — that makes me more mad. You know? Be real.” In the midst of a full-on Ron-page and egged on by Angelina, he continued. “Stop acting like you’re not hurting. That’s what I’m saying. Stop acting like you’re not hurting,” Ron said. “There’s no way that this man is — I know what he’s going through. To be with somebody that’s so cold and shows no emotion and is just so — and all you do is give and give and give, like, it hurts.” And in a confessional segment at the end of the show, Ron hit us with this kicker: “That’s why me and Roger [Mathews] are so close ’cause we’ve been dealing with the same person.” To be fair, this was before Jenni accused Roger of abuse , but it was still out of line. In fact, it made us rewind to the scene where Ronnie busted his ass running from a wasp in order to enjoy that slapstick 18 more times. Dude had it coming! View Slideshow: Jen Harley: What Arrest?? I’ll Be Back on Jersey Shore, You Wait!!!
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion special aired Tuesday night, and while there was a fair amount of drama on set, the real fireworks were going off on Twitter. You see, Brandi Glanville was clearly watching the show live, and the former RHOBH cast member had a lot to say about the proceedings: As you may recall, Glanville was fired from the show back in 2015, but either her ex-castmates still get under her skin, or she’s angling to get her old job back, because Brandi was throwing some major shade online during Tuesday night’s broadcast. Most of her ire was directed at Camille Grammer, who argued that Brandi was the reason Lisa Vanderpump decided not to attend this year’s reunion : “She’s pissed about Brandi,” Camille said at one point. “[She’s pissed Brandi] showed up on the show, absolutely. She’s her archenemy! She feels so betrayed.” From there, Brandi turned her attention to Denise Richards and accused of her conspiring with Brandi against Lisa: “I’m just assuming — and I could be absolutely wrong — but she felt throughout this season that you’ve had her back, Denise, but you talking to Brandi,” said an outraged Camille. “Brandi’s her archenemy.” While the Glanville-Vanderpump feud is the stuff of legend, Camille is likely overstating her case, as Lisa had lots of reasons to skip the reunion. On the show, Denise argued that she and Brandi “didn’t meet to talk about Vanderpump.” And on Twitter, Brandi positively unloaded on Camille: “I am NOT LVP’s arch enemy!! That is absolute insanity. Trust and believe that is UNTRUE!!!” Glanville tweeted. “I adore [Denise] after meeting her at a dinner party for our mutual agent! [Not to mention] 95% of our conversation was not about LVP at all!” From there, Brandi revealed that she was quick to reach out when Lisa’s brother died last year. Then she continued to go off on Grammer: “Nope [Camille] I don’t buy it!” Brandi continued. “She knows for a fact that I’m a proper f–king person and that I do the RIGHT thing when I’m suppose to. We may not be friends but I’m not LVP’s #1enemy.” When a fan agreed with Brandi’s sentiments, Glanville replied by dismissing Camille as a “wishy-washy c-nt.” And believe it or not, the tirade didn’t end there: “Let me be clear, LVP and I have a past that we will not recover from but I refuse to let [Denise] be called out for provoking anything!” Brandi tweeted. “I was on ONE episode of an entire season where the women had their own separate issues with her. That’s f–king it.” She added: “It’s clear to me that if certain people feel that they are going down they have the need to take everyone down with them. If I had done that the ENTIRE housewives world would be ‘shook.’ “I’m not that person and that’s not how I’m raising my boys. Oh and half of the men in Hollywood.” Sadly, Andy Cohen has yet to respond to Brandi’s tweets with a job offer. Get on it, bro! RHOBH is gonna need all the help it can get post-Vanderpump!

We know, we know — you’ve heard this one before. It seems about once a year, a bunch of reports surface about how Leonardo DiCaprio is totes serious about the model he’s currently banging, and he might even be considering marriage. (These reports usually pop up right around the time Leo has a new movie to promote. Weird.) All that said, for quite some time now, we’ve been seeing signs that DiCaprio’s relationship with Camila Morrone is more serious than his usual flings. And now, reps for the actor have basically confirmed that these two are on the verge of settling down together. These reps spoke to People magazine as anonymous insiders, but the fact that a piece about Leo’s love life contains three separate references to Once Upon a Time In Hollywood sort of tells us all we need to know about who’s pulling the strings here. “They seem pretty serious,” says one spokesperson friend. “It’s definitely not a casual relationship. Camila spends a lot of time at his house.” Ooooh … a lot of time at his house? Considering DiCaprio and Morrone have been dating for over a year , and dude is in his mid-forties, that sounds like the slowest-moving relationship of all time. But hey, we suppose most of Leo’s previous models never even made it to the one-year mark. As for the rumors the DiCaprio and Morrone are engaged , the sources stop short of confirming those reports. Actually, they stop well short of confirmation, basically making it sound like Leo just started referring to Camila as his girlfriend. “Camila is long known as Leo’s girlfriend,” the insider says. And Leo introduced her to both of his parents long ago.” Morrone is a model (duh), and half Leo’s age (double duh), so she certainly meets his primary requirements. The only problem is that as far as we know, Camila has not yet learned to manipulate the space-time continuum, meaning that there will come a time when she’s no longer in her twenties. No one can say for certain what will happen when that time comes — but we can say Once Upon In Hollywood is coming to a theater near you this weekend! Okay, so how does this work? Do we get a check from the studio now, or what?
If you’re a Teen Mom OG fan, it probably feels like the show is a constant topic of discussion on social media and in the tabloids. So it can be hard to believe the long-running series pulls in far fewer than 1 million viewers per episode. Yes, that number may seem ludicrously low given the amount of attention the show continues to receive online, but it appears to be a case in which a very small group of people are discussing a subject so loudly as to drown out all other conversation. According to a new report from Radar Online ratings for Teen Mom OG started off low at the beginning of this season — and they’ve been plummetting ever since. Radar reports that the season premiere on June 10 brought in a respectable 990,000 viewers. On June 17, ratings dropped to 868,000 and they declined to 849,000 on June 24. The numbers have continued to sink from there, with the July 15 episode bringing in only 679,000 viewers. Of course, that wasn’t always the case. For the last season premiere in which the show still featured Farrah Abraham, 1,319,000 viewers tuned in, and ratings remained steady, as the season finale attracted 1,098,000 households. As you probably recall, producers decided to fire Farrah in December of 2017, and the show’s ratings have been declining ever since. In a new interview with Radar, Farrah reiterated her belief that the show “should be canceled!” “No one is believing the fake storylines,” she told the outlet. “These other parents are super fans of the OG girls and have been fans, planned pregnancy is not what Teen Mom OG was about and now it’s okay to keep planning pregnancies to get on TV? Sad mainly for the children.” Yes, Farrah Abraham, of all people, played the “think of the children!” card. She’s also claiming that she’s glad to have gotten fired, as like a cigar-chomping network exec from 1997, Farrah maintains that scripted drama is the way of the future: “I’m thankful I can bring a new element to unscripted and scripted TV soon, as a screenwriter, director and producer,” she told Radar. “I’m blessed for my 10 years and can’t wait to make TV that is original, better made, better talent and better executives.” We have no idea what sort of project Farrah is helming, but it’s almost certainly some sort of Skinamax-style softcore porn, and frankly, we can’t wait. As for TMOG, the show is hoping to get a boost by adding Mackenzie McKee to the cast for this season’s final episodes. Ironically, the other Moms were staunchly against the idea of MTV tinkering with the cast at all, but they may feel differently upon learning how close they are to extinction. The series will likely also receive a bump from Amber Portwood’s recent arrest for domestic violence , even though it doesn’t look as though that storyline will be featured on this season, and Amber didn’t even attend this year’s reunion special. Besides, producers can’t continue to rely on random acts of violence from the cast in order to sustain ratings. Unless, of course, they re-hire Farrah. Then there should be enough insanity to keep things going for another decade or so. View Slideshow: Andrew Glennon Responds to Amber Portwood: Enjoy Your Pity Party, Loser!
Source: Leon Bennett / Getty It’s girls trip time on Basketball Wives , and the drama is about to turn up because a few of these immature banshees don’t like each other. The setting is San Diego, in case you forgot, and the episode begins with them settling into their house for the weekend. There’s a lot of tension in the room when they start to gather. Evelyn isn’t cool with Jenn, OG isn’t cool with Malaysia or Kristen, and Shaunie thinks it’s a good idea to get everyone together for dinner. Evelyn is adamant that she’s not going to dinner because Jennifer is going, and so is Jenn’s friend, Dominique, who Evelyn also accused of talking smack about her. It’s just a bunch of negative energy. There’s even a moment where the entire group inevitably gets together and Jackie says they need to get rid of the elephant in the room. Evelyn tries to get Jenn to own up to the things she said about her daughter…again. Obviously, this goes all the way left. Jenn doesn’t own up to anything…again, and they get to going back and forth…again. Jenn says some slick ish that sets Evelyn off. Evelyn threatens Jenn, surprise surprise. Evelyn even fake tries to fight Jenn. Basketball Wives security ain’t Love and Hip-Hop status but this time they actually do hold Evelyn back. Evelyn throws water on Jenn, Jenn throws water on Evelyn, nothing gets resolved. Look, Evelyn is going to have to move on. Jenn is probably never going to admit to talking about Shaniece. In fact, Jennifer reiterates that she never said anything malicious about Shaniece, even though Malaysia, Jackie, and Shaunie all heard it. Then Evelyn directs her anger toward Dominique, and they almost get into it too but security stops them. Let’s fast forward a bit. Now Jenn is with Dominique, Shaunie, Jackie, and OG talking about her mother again aka deflecting. She’s also talking about how she has no one and how they’re supposed to be a sisterhood and that she doesn’t feel the sisterhood again. Then, waterworks. Like, sobbing . This is emotional manipulation but it’s working. The rest of them believe Jenn is being genuine. Not that she’s not hurting, because she probably is, but this has nothing to do with her owning up to the things she said. Just when you’re about to finally give up, for real, for real, Jenn says she “May have said some things, and that she apologizes if she ever offended anyone.” This is the closest thing to an admission that Evelyn is going to get. Jackie and Shaunie think this is a breakthrough, so they tell Jenn to come to the group dinner and tell Evelyn exactly what she just told them. Shaunie runs and tells Evelyn about the conversation with Jennifer and how Jennifer says she’s lonely, etc. Evelyn comes to tears because she’s struggling to move forward with Jennifer knowing that Jenn won’t own up to her stuff, and this is exhausting. Shaunie tells Evelyn the apology is coming. Now we’re at dinner. Jackie puts Jennifer on the spot and asks if she’s ready to apologize. Jenn says she thinks she has done that already. Guess what? Issa backtrack! Jenn, in her confessional, says she’s not talking about it at the table in front of women this has nothing to do with. This makes sense, but she said something to the contrary earlier, so now Jackie and Shaunie are confused and annoyed and they feel like Jenn lied to them, as if they didn’t already know who they were dealing with. Again, Jenn’s emotional manipulation fooled them. Things take a surprising turn when Jenn finally gets Evelyn alone the next day and actually apologizes. It’s still a kinda-sorta apology to the tune of being s orry for anything she may have said that was negative about Shaniece and for making Evelyn and Shaniece feel as if she doesn’t love them. Evelyn comes to tears and says Shaniece considered Jenn like an aunt so she doesn’t understand what she did to Jenn that was so bad that she’d do what she did. Jenn gives Evelyn a hug and says she doesn’t want to fight with her and that she’s sorry. An actual, “Sorry!” Finally. They finally agree to move forward. The drama stops there for this episode but it picks up next week when OG reveals to Feby that she found out about her diss track, and also mentions that she could kill her with her bare hands but won’t. Lordt. See you next Wednesday. RELATED POSTS ‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: Shaunie Fights The Urge To Lay Hands on Jennifer ‘Basketball Wives’ Recap: It’s The Jennifer Is Over Party
Source: Disney / Disney Leo season is among us, people! The fifth sign of the astrological year began on Tuesday and is here to snatch our edges until August 22. Leo’s have a reputation for being confident, carefree, powerhouse, full of conceit and strong mindedness. And those are their good qualities. On the flip side, the lions have a tendency to be pretty vain and overbearing. They tend to love excited most of the time, and even a little drama. But be sure to shower them with praise and attention if you want to stay on their good side. Some of our favorite people in the world were born under Leo sign. Everyone from Barack Obama, to Jennifer Lopez, to Halle Berry are reppin’ that Lion gang. But do they have anything in common? @NatalieTweets: Leo’s have such a bad reputation, yes, we are intimidating, fiery and bad ass stubborn people but…we have such a lovely side too! We care ALOT! Love hard and stand up for what and who we believe in! But we do like having our own way and I guess that sometimes can be annoying @Astropoets: Assertive. Hot. Demanding of your attention but aware you want them even more. Leos are seductive. A Leo is allure. They will save you & not mention it at all. They are protectors. Leo ambition is unrivaled. Their ego huge. So what? It’s called star power. Welcome to Leo season. If you happen to know a Leo, which most of us most likely do, don’t let their fiery persona fool you. They may be lions, but there’s still a cub buried in there somewhere. Check the flip for some interesting Leo facts, and hit us on Twitter to share your thoughts.
