Meri Brown Continues to Shade All the Sister Wives

Meri Brown is really not even trying to hide it anymore. In the past, we maybe had to parse the reality star’s words and try to determine whether or not she was throwing shade at her fellow Sister Wives. But that was back then. Now? At this moment? Based on what the television personality just shared on her Instagram Story? We don’t think there’s any doubt any longer. “Never water yourself down just because someone can’t handle you at 100 proof,” Brown shared a couple days ago, not referencing Kody Brown or any of his other wives by name… … but come on now. Meri, for those who don’t follow Sister Wives closely, has been unhappy in her marriage for years now. It’s difficult to blame her, considering she must share her husband and her life with three other women at pretty much all times. About four years ago, Meri tried to break out of this arrangement and actually thought she had found a new guy — only to fall victim to a very embarrassing catfishing scandal . Since then, the state of her relationship with Kody has been a prominent Sister Wives storyline. In April, Meri made it clear she wasn’t happy about the move from Las Vegas to Arizona. About a month later, she appeared to get especially personal when she wrote the following on social media: I wish more women realized that helping another woman win, cheering her on, praying for her, or sharing a resource with her, does NOT take away from the blessings coming to them. In fact, the more you give, the more you receive. Empowering women doesn’t come from selfishness but rather from selflessness. Based on the fact that Meri wanted to start a bed and breakfast, and that none of her co-stars were willing to chip in financially with it, this was assumed to be a shot at Robyn, Janelle and Christine. And now we have Meri’s latest social media shot. The only question that now remains is whether or not Kody will response. Shortly after Meri slammed the Sister Wives for not being supportive, Kody pretty clearly came right back at her. “Bitterness is the undoing of creativity,” he Tweeted, adding: “Thus, a poet allows his blood to sweeten with pain. May all pain sweeten your blood so you will access Source Energy and find Peace.” Where will things go from here? It’s hard to say. All we know for now is that Sister Wives is filming once again — and you better believe producers are loving all this drama and in-fighting among the cast.

Spencer Pratt: No One is Safe From My Hit List!

We're just days away from the debut of  The Hills: New Beginnings , and the drama is already starting to boil over. Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag will be among the familiar faces, and Pratt's own sister, returning star Stephanie Pratt is already  putting the couple on blast . In a brand new teaser interview for  The Hills ' hotly anticipated reboot, Spencer and Heidi respond to Stephanie's aspersions, and promise More Drama is on the way! Speidi showed up to  The Hills: New Beginnings  premier event on Wednesday, where they were  interviewed  by E! News' Justin Sylvester. Justin begins the interview by asking what the couple has been up to, and if the nine years since  The Hills  ended had been difficult for them. That's a great question since, as Stephanie's podcast reminds us, the couple has been through some trying times in recent years. But Heidi is quick to downplay that drama, saying that their hardest years were actually caught on camera during the original run of  The Hills . “That was a really challenging time in our relationship, when our friends were trying to tear us apart,” Heidi explains. According to Heidi, after  The Hills , the couple finally got to relax and enjoy life, while Spencer attended USC to get his political science degree. Next, Justin shifts the focus to Spencer, and his history of being vindictive on the show. “I feel like you can hold a grudge,” the host suggests. “Yeah, my burn diary is out,” Spencer admits, adding that he has a “hit list” of people he still has beef with. Spencer even jokingly spoils the title of the first episode, “I Don't Hold Grudges… JK!!”  We hope he's kidding, because that's a terrible title. But it's crystal clear that Spencer still relishes the conflict he's known for — and the screen time that goes with it! Justin went on to ask Spencer who was the first name on his “hit list” going into the new season. “Everyone. No one was safe,” Spencer replies, looking very pleased with himself. If that's the case, some of that grudge must be aimed at his sister Stephanie, who will be returning to star in the reboot as well. But when pressed on the issue, Spencer suddenly becomes quite diplomatic. “I have no beef with any family member,” he assures Justin, adding that “It's totally one-sided.” Of course, just because the beef is one-sided doesn't mean Spencer doesn't deserve Stephanie's ire.  Spencer definitely did a lot of the awful things his sister is mad about, but probably just doesn't care enough to feel any kind of way about it.  He certainly doesn't address any of their specific issues in the interview, saying it all took place off camera. But when asked if Stephanie was just making the fight up to generate more interest in the series, he simply said “I think Stephanie is a great asset to the show.” That's a suspiciously coy response, coming from someone who's usually embarrassingly forthcoming. Spencer puts his foot in his mouth just a moment later in fact, after unwittingly accusing co-star Brody Jenner of cheating on his wife! While hijacking a question clearly posed to Heidi, Spencer proclaims that Brandon Lee is sure to be the new breakout star of the show. Heidi agrees he's quite the heartbreaker, calling Brandon the “evolution” of Brody's portrayal on the original series. But then Justin asks which of the two celebs had more game with the ladies. “Brody Jenner is still the biggest mack on  The Hills,”  Spencer replies, definitively.  “You think Brody Jenner is pulling more girls than Brandon Lee,” the interviewer follows up incredulously. “Yes. Currently,” Spencer responds. What follows is a beautiful, stunned moment of silence as Justin looks at the camera and Spencer slowly realises what he's said.  “Oh, oh wait, he's married. Never mind!” Spencer hastily corrects himself. Not wanting to touch that, Justin shifts the focus back to Heidi, who tries to smooth over her husband's problematic candor. “If you don't want the truth out there, you should be scared,” she concludes, much to Spencer's delight. We definitely want the truth out there!  The interview wound down with a look ahead for Speidi's role this season.  We can expect Heidi's arc to deal with being a mom and facing her seperation anxiety from her one-year-old son, who is seriously named Gunner. The season will also feature Spencer running his healing crystal jewely business,  Pratt Daddy Crystals . Yikes. If  New Beginnings  is as awkward and high-energy as this interview was, we have a lot to look forward to when the series debuts next week.

Jussie Smollett Case Re-Opened: Could He Be Prosecuted For Faking Attack?

The strange saga of Jussie Smollett began way back in January when the former Empire actor reported that he was assaulted by two white men in what appeared to be a racially- and politically-motivated hate crime. But as further details emerged, so did the holes in Smollett’s story. Eventually, it became clear that Smollett was assaulted by two black men who had previously worked as extras on Empire . Despite mounting evidence that he had misled authorities, however, the case against Smollett was mysteriously dropped , much to the chagrin of Chicago police officials and then-mayor Rahm Emanuel, who spoke out against the state’s attorney’s decision. On social media, Smollett’s supporters rejoiced in the dismissal, while many decried what they viewed as a gross miscarriage of justice. Now, it looks like critics of the decision may have cause for celebration, as a Chicago judge has ordered a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate the handling of the case. While it’s prosecutors, not Smollett himself, who are being investigated, the inquiry could land the 37-year-old back in court on criminal charges. “If reasonable grounds exist to further prosecute Smollett, in the interest of justice the special prosecutor may take such action,” the judge wrote in his order. The judge added that he reached the decision to effectively re-open the investigation as a result of “unprecedented irregularities identified in this case.” It was State’s Attorney Kim Foxx who dismissed the charges against Smollett the first time, but Foxx later recused herself amid allegations that she had spoken with several prominent figures — including Michelle Obama’s former chief of staff — about the need to acquit Jussie. The judge says the ensuing disarray resulted in a mishandled and incomplete investigation. “There was no master on the bridge to guide the ship as it floundered through unchartered waters,” he wrote. “And it ultimately lost its bearings.” Smollett has yet to publicly respond to the judge’s decision, but you can bet his legal team is gearing up for another fight. And on Twitter, of course, the battle has already commenced. You can bet the war or words between the bitterly divided factions will once again be a brutal one. And whatever conclusion the special prosecutor reaches, it’s sure to spark controversy. We’ll keep you updated on this developing story as more information becomes available.

Luann de Lesseps BLASTS Bethenny Frankel: I Don’t Owe You My Life!!

It looks like things still haven’t improved much since Bethenny lashed out at Luann . This week, the Skinnygirl founder went on Watch What Happens Live , and the former Countess’ ongoing sobriety battle definitely came up. Luann watched … and was so furious that she took to Twitter to share her outrage in a series of blistering tweets. Speaking with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live , Bethenny Frankel spoke about Luann de Lesseps’ battle for sobriety. “I went all in,” Bethenny says of her erstwhile role in Luann’s health strugle. “I got her rehab paid for.” Which made what went down between the two of them in Miami so shocking for her. “So,” Bethenny explained. “I just felt like, ‘What the hell are you doing? Like, who are you? How are you so not self-aware?’” “Even right after that moment,” Bethenny recalled. “She was like, ‘Well I’ve been going through a lot.’” “I don’t want to be like, ‘I’ve been going through a lot, but I’ve been through a little bit this year.’” Bethenny played a major role in Luann’s intervention in the summer of 2018, after her brief but serious relapse. But when Luann started drinking again in May of this year, Bethenny says that she was not in the loop. On Watch What Happens Live , she told Andy Cohen that she doesn’t know “what’s going on.” “I think she’s doing the best that she can. …” Bethenny speculated. “She’s shooting videos and doing her cabaret,” she added. “So she seems fine.” Seems fine … but she doesn’t actually know. “I’m out, you know what I mean?” Bethenny shared. That said, it’s not like she no longer cares. She adds: “But I would do it again if something really bad happened.” “I like the distance from the situation,” Bethenny explains. Luann saw that interview … and was positively fuming on social media. “I don’t owe Bethenny Frankel my life,” Luann tweeted furiously. The former countess added that “friends are there help each other out.: In case there was any doubt, Luann then added the hashtag: “#WWHL” That’s not a subtweet — because Bethenny’s name is right there in plain letters. See for yourself: Luann had even more to say after this callout. “Friends don’t keep tabs,” Luann expressed in a subsequent tweet, also including the tag “#WWHL.” She was clearly peeved with what she interpreted as Bethenny’s feeling that she owed her a debt. “You don’t help someone and throw it in their face,” Luann tweeted. This time, she used the tag: “#RHONY.” She wanted to reach a wide audience with her words. Bethenny Frankel certainly had a hard time over the past year or so. Remember, she lost her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Dennis Shields. While that was certainly what drove her blow-up at Luann and the meltdown that followed on the show, that’s not the only factor. Bethenny is also fighting a painful, intense custody battle with her awful ex-husband, Jason Hoppy. She has a lot of stress on her. We don’t think that she feels that Luann owes her a debt for helping her. But she clearly wishes that Luann were a little more aware of other people.

Ayesha Curry Admits She Sends Steph “Hundreds” Of Sexy Photos To Keep Things Spicy

Originally posted here:

Source: FayesVision/WENN.com / WENN We told you earlier this week that actress  Bella Thorne has a bone to pick with Whoopi Goldberg . The 21-year-old former Disney star had some topless photos of herself hacked, and in order to keep her hacker from leaking them to the public, she released them in an effort to take her power back. However, Whoopi felt that in this day and age, Bella should have known better than to take risque photos of herself when it’s so common for them to be stolen and released. Bella felt that Whoopi was victim-blaming, and posted emotional InstaStories calling Whoopi’s comments “disgusting.” Text “RICKEY” to 71007 to join the Rickey Smiley Morning Show mobile club for exclusive news.  ( Terms and conditions ). A lot of people agreed with the Hollywood veteran though, and felt that stars should know that since they run a higher risk of being exposed, they shouldn’t even think about sharing nude, topless, risque — whatever — photos. That hasn’t stopped many celebs from doing it though, including Ayesha Curry. While visiting E! News’ Daily Pop to promote her new ABC series, Family Food Fight, Ayesha was asked if she sends “spicy” photos to husband Stephen Curry when he’s on the road and she said, “Hundreds! Hundreds of them!” Sign Up For Our Newsletter! Close Thank you for subscribing! Please be sure to open and click your first newsletter so we can confirm your subscription. Email Submit However, she admitted that she’s very worried about them getting out. “He won’t delete them off of his phone!” she said. “He’s not that secure with his phone so it’s actually one of the scariest things in my life.” She said the trick to keeping those images from getting out is taking photos from the “neck down” (so people can’t prove the photos are of her) and changing her password a lot. SEE ALSO:  Ayesha Curry Reveals She Got A Botched Boob Job “I’m going to change mine as soon as I get up off this couch,” she said. It makes sense though that Ayesha is spicing things up with sexy photos. She and Steph have been together since they were teenagers and married since 2011. Not to mention, she also has to deal with other women who are out here trying to get the NBA champion’s attention. “The ladies will always be lurking and waiting for their moment,” she said recently on Red Table Talk, “but for me, I honestly hate it.” But aside from naughty photos, the pair keep things solid by making their relationship a priority over everything, and it works. “Putting ourselves first, and making sure that we make time for date nights and for each other. That’s been very important, as hard as it is,” she said. “Because when you become a parent, you want to put your kids first, and we do, but we do it second to our relationship. Because ultimately, when our relationship is good, the kids are happy and they’re thriving and our family life is good. We have to put that into perspective and realize that it’s not us being selfish, it’s making sure we set a strong foundation.” This story was originally posted on madamenoire.com .  [ione_media_gallery src=”https://rickeysmileymorningshow.com” id=”1985479″ overlay=”true”] ALSO TRENDING ON RICKEYSMILEYMORNINGSHOW.COM : Sasha Obama Graduates High School [PHOTOS] Tami Ever After: Tami Roman Lands ‘Basketball Wives’ Spinoff Show Aoki Lee Simmons Stuns At Senior Prom [PHOTOS] Follow @TheRSMS

Lisa Vanderpump to Skip Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright’s Wedding

Earlier today, we reported on the sad news that Lisa Vanderpump’s mother has passed away at the age of 84. The death of Jean Vanderpump comes just one year after Lisa’s brother, Mark Vanderpump, committed suicide . The news also closely follows closely on the heels of reports that Lisa has quit The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in response to a falling out with her fellow cast members. With all of this going on, it’s not surprising that Lisa will be stepping away from the spotlight in order to return to England and be with her family. Unfortunately, that means she’ll miss a major social event that’s sure to factor prominently in both the lives of her close friends and the eighth season of her eponymous reality show. Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright are set to get married next weekend, and Radar Online is now reporting that Lisa will not be in attendance. “Lisa will not be able to go to the wedding,” says one insider . While Jax and Brittany are said to be disappointed by the news, they have reportedly expressed their support for her decision. The source claims that Taylor and Cartwright have not yet spoken to Lisa in person, but have contacted her via text message. “They have reached out to send their condolences, and accept she needs to step away from filming the show right now so she can attend to her family,” says the insider. Lisa was also scheduled to be a guest of honor at World Pride events in New York on June 30. Sadly, she will be forced to miss those events, as well. “Lisa loves and supports the LGBTQ community, but knows that they will understand,” says the tipster. The insider goes on to say that Lisa is at the lowest point of her life after losing two immediate family members in such rapid succession. “She’s absolutely devastated at losing her mother when she is still grieving over the loss of her brother,” says the source. Stars and colleagues alike have offered their condolences to the reality star and restaurateur, but we’re sure words are of little comfort at this time. All the same, our thoughts are with Lisa during this tremendously difficult time. We hope she takes all the help she needs and finds support wherever she can.

Jersey Shore Trailer: "Yo, Is the Judge DTF?!?"

Yo, is the judge a female? Maybe she'll be DTF: down to forgive! Oh, yes, folks, the Jersey Shore gang is nearly back in our lives. And, considering the quote above, it's about darn time, right?!? Following a very quick look at the third season of Jersey Shore's Family Vacation, MTV has unveiled an extended trailer for upcoming episodes of this beloved reality show revival. In the action and emotional-packed 90-second trailer featured here, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino at last ties the knot with longtime girlfriend Lauren Pesce in the presence of the “friends that became family.” It may actually be hard for veteran viewers to maintain dry eyes while watching this event. And not to crack up at the shenanigans surrounding the ceremony. “It's tuuuxedo tiiime!” groomsmen Pauly D, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Vinny Guadagnino shout as they toast the man of the hour. Indeed, The Situation is at the center of this preview, considering he's getting married AND going to prison for his role in a tax evasion scam. “Whatever the outcome may be, we're here for you throughout that whole process,” Pauly tells his friend, later joking: “Yo, is the judge a female? Maybe she'll be DTF: down to forgive!” Just amazing. We love these guys. In a subsequent scene, the DJ takes on an angrier tone when he's seen asking Ronnie, “How much more can you take?,” which simply has to be a reference to all the craziness between himself and Jen Harley . As far as we know, these two are still together and, as far as we know, Harley will appear on Season 3. “We definitely are all going through our own stuff,” Ronnie admits to the camera, as footage of Mike walking into and out of a courthouse takes over the screen. “We're not kids anymore.” No, they are parents of an adorable little girl. Elsewhere, Pauly notes, “One decision can change your life,” as Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is seen bawling her eyes out. Could she be pregnant? (SPOILER ALERT: Yes, and she just gave birth .) “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” Season 3 (or 2B, as you may see it referred to as at various points) premieres Thursday, July 11 at 8/7c on MTV. Check out the exciting preview here!

Just a few months after doing his first post-prison show in a hot minute, TMZ is reporting that Dark Man X is also getting back on his Hollywood grind and will be taking on the role of a homicide detective in the upcoming film Chronicle of A Serial Killer . The movie features Brendan Sexton as a serial murderer … and DMX is playing Detective White, who’s trying to track down the killer. Tara Reid , Eric Roberts  and Aly Mang are also starring in the film. X was able to land the role after Michael Madsen ( Kill Bill ) caught a DUI charge in Malibu back in April and was booted from the film. The director, Steve Stanulis , tells TMZ … when his casting director suggested X for the role, he knew it was a perfect fit, and the rapper didn’t even have to audition. Steve says he has no doubt DMX is “going to bring a different dynamic to the role.”  Judging from the fact that Tara Reid is considered a lead in the film, we’re guessing that Chronicle of A Serial Killer will be a straight to DVD or TV production, but we can’t hate at all. We’re just glad to see the “Slippin’” rapper on steady ground and getting on with his life. We can’t wait to see X do his thing on film again. — Photo: WENN
