After the way that Tamra Judge betrayed Shannon Beador , it looks like Shannon isn’t speaking to Tamra . Now, Tamra has given a new interview. In it, she lays all of the blame for her fractured friendship at the feet of Gina Kirschenheiter. In an interview with TooFab , Tamra Judge says that she has now seen a very important The Real Housewives of Orange County scene. She says that it hasn’t convinced her that Gina is anything other than a sneaky saboteur. “To me,” Tamra says. “As I watch it, that’s what I see it like, It’s like, ‘Hey, now we’re friends, let’s team up.'” She is referring to Gina telling Shannon about what Tamra and others had said behind Shannon’s back. “It was really a weird situation,” Tamra shares. “Because she’s never been close to Shannon, ever.” Tamra doesn’t buy it: “So for her to say, ‘Oh, I’m so worried about your mental state,’ but yet, prior to that, all she was doing was shit-talking Shannon?” With those words, Gina drove a wedge between Tamra and Shannon’s friendship. “It wasn’t cool at all,” Tamra says. Tamra is especially critical of Gina’s timing. She says that it was a shady move, “especially when she had [cosmetic eye] surgery a few days prior.” We all saw that Shannon was trying to focus on her recovery at the time. “She just wanted to get her upset,” Tamra characterizes. Gina, in Tamra’s eyes, is just a troublemaker — a troublemaker with no clear endgame. “My biggest thing is like, what was her point of doing that?” Tamra asks. One does wonder what Gina had to gain, because Tamra doesn’t think that she was just trying to be earnest. “She [got close to] Shannon like 15 minutes ago,” Tamra characterizes. Tamra continues: “and all of a sudden, she wants to sit down and say, ‘Hey, let me just tell you what your friends are saying.'” “In Gina’s defense, she did say ‘friends,'” Tamra admits. Tamra says: “but when I got the message [from Shannon], it was more like, ‘Gina said you were saying all kinds of horrible things about my mental state.'” Clearly, Shannon was very distressed at the time. She has been going through so much this year. “And,” Tamra explains. “That’s why I said to Gina, ‘Let me hear your side of the story before I lose my s–t.'” “But her side of the story wasn’t great,” Tamra says. That said, it doesn’t sound like everyone’s still at each other’s throats. Tamra tells TooFab that she and the other Housewives parted ways “on decent terms” after filming the reunion special in October. “Nobody’s fighting,” Tamra claims. “Well, except for Kelly [Dodd] and Vicki [Gunvalson].” We all saw Kelly’s recent assessment of who should and should not return to the series. “It’s funny because neither one of them think the other should be on the show anymore,” Tamra says. “But I think they’re both great for the show,” Tamra notes. “They’re exactly what the show needs.” So, what was Gina’s real motive for speaking to Shannon? Maybe she really was just trying to be a good friend. Her characterization of what the other women were saying didn’t miss the mark by much. That said, chaos for the sake of chaos may have also been a motive. We’re not accusing Gina of being a chaos demon. But she’s a Real Housewife — you know that she wants to come back next season. Proving that she can stir up drama like this sounds like a great way to get a ticket back next season. View Slideshow: Kelly Dodd: Fire Has-Been Vicki Gunvalson! Bish is Past Her Expiration Date!
Khloe Kardashian was in a lot of pain after she gave birth to True Thompson. But not for the same reason why many women are in pain after this experience. In the uncomfortable sneak peek featured here from this Sunday's new episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe has just welcomed her first child into the world. This should be a special and blessed time, right? Yes, and it still is for Khloe. But she also must deal with the fallout from Tristan Thompson having cheated on her many times throughout her pregnancy. As you're probably well aware of by now, Khloe learned about this scandal the day before she went into labor — which really is pretty insane. It's probably the most dramatic, non-scripted storyline to ever air on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Previously, we saw Kim Kardashian and other family members arrive to the hospital and awkwardly greet Thompson for the first time since the scandal hit, a scene you can witness for yourself here: In the case of this latest clip, Tristan is not in the room. But his presence is everywhere. “I just have to get out of here,” Khloe says to her sisters inside her hospital room, texting on her phone and checking her messages. “Is everyone writing you?” asks Kourtney. Yes, replies Khloe: “Too many people, but writing about both things, I'm like shut up. I don't have the energy for that right now. I'm like, everyone leave me alone.” Kourtney tries to assure Khloe that everyone just wants to offer her support and she knows that, but… “It's also everyone has their own shit that I know nothing about and mine is thrown on the public of everything and it's just a lot harder to filter through stuff when it's this public and when I gave birth the following day. “It's just too much.” We really do feel badly for Khloe.

Source: Jean Whiteside / Fox Season 5 of Empire finds the Lyon empire in a dark place. The family business was stolen, money has dried up and Cookie and Lucious are scrambling to figure out how to get back on top. However, one of the brightest spots is Jamal’s new love affair with Kai. We knew it was meant to be after Kai managed to escape a hostile situation in Nigeria, and even before that, he saved Jamal from being drugged and assaulted. Jamal and Kai’s chemistry is undeniable and the actor who plays the latter, Toby Onwumere, is excited to take on such an important storyline. Audiences were first introduced to Onwumere as Capheus on Netflix’s Sense8 , but with Empire , his second major role thus far, he’s helping to shift the narrative about how characters with HIV are portrayed. Hello Beautiful caught up with the USC grad about how he landed his latest role and the impact he hopes to have on the culture. —Starrene Rhett Rocque What do you look for in the roles you go up for and how did Kai match up to that? Considering that this is my second real role, I guess in general I like to look for some type of variety from the last one. Right. Because you’re in Sense8 and that’s completely different. Exactly. But I like both in like the storytelling and the character, and how it’s done, and I appreciated the juxtaposition between Sense8 and Empire . You know, something kind of, super niche on Netflix and this one is like, Empire is empire, as the name suggests. It is an empire. So, yeah, I really like that, and as far as Kai goes, I kind of knew, I didn’t have the script, but I knew about the character, and I definitely knew kind of the subject matter that we were trying to delve into. And, the manner in which that happened, telling the story is important. One, to the LGBTQ community and to educating the general populous at large. I think that’s important. The thing about Kai that I really like is you know with him and his HIV status—the character doesn’t feel sorry for himself and he’s not played in a terminal fashion. You see him hospital bed once as of now, but it’s not really due to the HIV, it’s more due to the injury he sustained when he was abroad, and he’s a character with integrity and with purpose and the HIV is not the totality of his life. And he still finds love. He finds love with one of the biggest pop stars in the world and they still have a very robust relationship despite the ailment. What was the process of getting the role like, did you get to meet Lee Daniels then? I didn’t meet Lee Daniels. It’s funny, I auditioned for it for maybe like two or three days. Then I [was] in New York about to go see some musicals and like kick it with some people I know, and I get a call from my agent, like, “You need to come home [to LA] because you have this chemistry read with Jussie.” So, I get my plane ticket back, and I think the next day I meet Brett Mahoney, some other producers, and then I meet Jussie. But, then I realized, the date that I was auditioning, Jussie was in the casting office with Leah Daniels Butler, and he passed by and I remember him saying, “Oh, I want to see who’s auditioning for this.” I remember that vividly. I always joke about it with him. I was like, “I saw you the first day”, and I looked at you like we’re about to do this together.” And then we had the chemistry reading; it was fantastic and I go home and I’m talking with my roommate later that night, and my agent and manager called me that I got it. That is awesome! You guys really do have amazing chemistry. Kai is actually my favorite boyfriend of Jamal. Talk that talk, please! Talk about their storyline and why it’s important. Well, you know that we meet in London and then we come over here. And then I get to see firsthand the quote-unquote energy of the Lyon family and how it’s affecting Jamal. And the beautiful thing about our relationship is, by telling the story I think we break a lot of stereotypes about relationships in general. We’re showing two normal people, and we’re really big on the normalcy of their relationship. And then if you bring the HIV into it—in mainstream culture—I don’t know that you see a relationship like ours. Somebody whose HIV positive, but it’s not treated in this super medical way. And I know that Jussie is really big, very very big on that. To like change the narrative of what it is to have, it can be undetected and bringing up things like PrEP. I just think we are changing the narrative a bit. Did you learn anything new because I think the PrEP thing is new information to a lot of people? I had known about PrEP, because I have some friends, I have maybe like two or three degrees of separation from people that have HIV so I know about PrEP. I know about being undetectable, but there are still quite a bit of people who maybe have outdated information on HIV. They might think it’s more terminal than it really is. That goes back to the 80’s propaganda of what HIV was and how it was a disease for the disenfranchised, and the LGBTQ community, but I do think that the scene with Cookie is such an amazing scene because it shows that nobody’s really immune to the lack of information. And there are people in your family who mean well, they mean the most positive, but due to the lack of information or the misinformation they kind of lead in the wrong way. What’s been the feedback thus far with you doing this role? Especially because, you know how sometimes, people see you in a role, and they think that you are actually that person. Oh, I get it so much, which is par for the course [and] that’s totally fine. My DM’s have been blowing up. Somebody even inquired if I really had HIV, which was interesting, but I think it’s all par for the course. The feedback has been, a sea of great stuff, it’s been fantastic, and that’s what I like. I’m actually interested somewhat in hearing it all. How’s your family reacting? My parents are in Nigeria right now, and my dad is a professor at this university in Imo State, and he is up to date. I was talking to him yesterday, and that’s so, pardon my language, that’s so fucking cool! He tells me, all the girls in his class watch the show religiously, and when they see the opening credits, they recognize the last name as the same name as their professor, and they’re like, “Wait, is that your son?” And my dad is like “Yeah, yeah, that’s my boy.” And they are like, “NO, I’m marrying him, I don’t know, what do I have to do, but we’re making it happen!” It’s just cool having my dad recap the events to me, and he’s like, “Why you let him talk to you like that?” Having him invested in the story like that, and talking to me about it, it really is special because I feel like my parents in particular afforded me this life. Empire can take you in twists and turns, so how can we brace ourselves to feel after tonight’s episode? You should brace yourself emotionally and hold onto people dear to you. I’m so bad at this part because I feel like if I say anything I’ll give it away. But we know it’s going to be a doozy, right? Always, it’s empire. We just want Jamal to have nice things, though. We’re gonna take care of him. RELATED POSTS ‘Empire’ Recap: Cookie And Lucious Kill Kingsley With Kindness ‘Empire’ Recap: Cookie Lands A Promising New Signee
While most of us breathe a sigh of relief that Ronnie Magro and Jen Harley aren't engaged , that doesn't mean that he's being smart. It wasn't long ago that he got into huge trouble with Jen for his hot tub adventures. On this new Jersey Shore: Family Vacation sneak peek, Ronnie is getting into another hot tub with another woman. Oh boy … In his confessional interview, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro sounds confident. To hear him tell it, he's not going to follow his horniest impulses and make a fool out of himself again. “Listen, I’ve seen a lot of girls in bathing suits. I’ve seen a lot of girls without bathing suits,” Ronnie says. By his way of thinking, he's been desensitized to beautiful women in very little clothing. “So, another girl in a bathing suit isn’t really that tempting,” Ronnie claims. Sure. Millions of years of evolutionary instinct screaming bang or die in his ear will be easy to resist. “And I’m not going to go down that road again,” Ronnie insists. Now, one of the benefits of editing is comedic timing. In this case, Jersey Shore: Family Vacation cuts to Angelina Pivarnick‘s friend, Lindsay. Lindsay looks drop-dead gorgeous in her bikini. Everyone exclaims “Yes!” as she enters the room, even though she covers up her turquoise two-piece. Ronnie, however, is shown rolling over onto his face, as if to avoid looking at her. His friends then rib him for blushing in Lindsay's presence. “Ronnie is getting a weird look in his eye around Jewish Barbie,” Vinny G points out. He's not optimistic about Ronnie's decision-making skills. “I know this look,” Vinny says. “Usually that leads to bad decisions.” Vinny summarizes: “This is not good.” Ronnie decided to volunteer to accompany Lindsay to the hot tub. As Pauly D characterizes: “Ronnie's gonna check the water, and make sure it's … make sure it's wet.” As Pauly's words suggest, there is no actual need for Ronnie to accompany Lindsay out to the tub. In case there was any doubt about Ronnie's relationship status when this scene was filmed, Lindsay brings it up. “So you’re still not single, yet?” Lindsay asks. This is a smart move on her part — bringing it up first. Ronnie doesn't appear to give any sort of verbal answer in the clip. So, correct . “You have to be happy,” Lindsay says, though we cannot confirm that she was directly responding to that topic. (Reality shows and their notorious editing, folks) As all of this is happening, Ronnie and Lindsay do not have any actual privacy. Not only are cameras still on them, but Ronnie's friends are watching, too. Now, we've all been the friend who's had a few drinks and peers through the window nosily as their friend maybe hooks up. But Ronnie's friends are vocally concerned about his decision-making skills. Considering how poorly Jen seems to take even the appearance of his cheating, they hate to see him blunder again. (Last time, it even involved a hot tub) As toxic as Ronnie's relationship with Jen was, this doesn't seem like the right way for him to end things. Only with the new episode will we see how poor Ronnie's judgment really was.
Source: Malcolm Ali / Getty T.V. shows can birth some of the best music and if you’re an avid watcher, some of the tunes can get stuck in your head for years to come. I’m not just talking about catchy theme songs or closing credit music. I’m talking about the countless songs that characters sang within their T.V. world that weren’t real, but they were ridiculously catchy. It could’ve been a song from a music group within the show or a parody that ended up making you jam just as hard as real-life songs. Hit the next pages to find out which tracks had repeat-potential when hearing them for the first time. As a rubric, I decided to leave out songs that were released as singles outside of the show and songs that gained heavy promotion in the music market (sorry Empire soundtrack). But don’t worry, the songs that follow are sure to bring the nostalgia and hopefully, they’ll make it on a streaming site in the near future!

Source: Photo by @photosbynae / iOne Digital Chloe and Maud Arnold are women of many talents. The two sisters, who are six years apart, are probably most known for their tap dancing and choreography. Together, they perform with their all-women tap dance group Syncopated Ladies and they perform as a duo, doing workshops and performances around the world. Their tap dance videos, which have gained millions of views, have gotten the attention of people like Beyoncé , who brought the two to London to perform at her Ivy Park clothing line launch in 2016. For ten years, Chloe and Maud have also organized the DC Tap Festival under Chloe and Maud Productions in their hometown of Washington D.C. It has grown to become the biggest tap dance festival in the world. All these things are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Chloe and Maud’s accomplishments, and they have much more planned in the future. We spoke with the two artists soon after Chloe’s Emmy nomination for choreographing a segment of The Late Late Show With James Corden. The two talked about their humble beginnings in D.C. and how Debbie Allen helped them expand their creative talents early on in their career (at one point, the two even lived with Allen every summer to train). The years that followed were filled with lessons that contribute to Chloe and Maud’s amazing journey. So can you both start out by describing the biggest obstacles you had to face starting in dance? Maud: One of the obstacles was growing up poor. Usually, if you’re poor, things are set up so that you stay poor and you stay where you’re from and you don’t elevate out of that situation. Luckily, our mom is extremely illustrious and she read the newspaper and never allowed a lack of money to stop us from going after what we worked for in life. Another obstacle was people forgetting about tap dance. Chloe: Our artform was marginalized in the world of dance and in the general public. Then within that art form, African American women are marginalized. As we’re leveling up, we did receive resistance from some of the gatekeepers and men in our field. When we started to assert our own voice and our own style, it shook up the status quo and there was some resistance. That was probably the most disappointing because you hope that the people who are seeing you work your butt off are excited for you when you start to make it happen. But what Maud and I really learned from that is that no matter what, you have to stay positive. How did Debbie Allen play a role in your career? Chloe: As a teenager and for Maud’s preteens, Debbie Allen became our guiding voice and kind of awakened our possibilities. She taught us to learn everything about the arts that you possibly want to know and then it’ll be there in your foundation down the road. So that’s how we expanded to learn all styles and she encouraged us to act, and study film, and to sing. Literally anything you’re feeling artisticly, she encouraged you to do. And then after years of dancing and putting in work, Beyoncé eventually came into the picture. You shot a “Beyoncé Tap Salute” that she shared on her Facebook. Then you put out a “Formation” tribute video that she shared again? Chloe: Well the second time Beyonce shared our video, it was on her Facebook page and it was on the homepage of Beyoncé.com for several weeks. That catapulted us to at least 20 million or something views for the video. And then she hired us to go to London to launch her clothing line Ivy Park. We have not stopped working since that. Chloe: It’s just absolutely incredible and Maud and I always say, it’s a testament to what happens when women really believe in sisterhood, support it and elevate it. It makes the difference because not only has Beyoncé elevated all of the lives in Syncopated Ladies, but then that funnels to all of our students and all of the people online that are looking to us. So for all the people who watch our videos, it becomes this translation of the importance of sisterhood and lifting each other up, and believing and sharing your platform when you have it. Was there anything that surprised you when working with a particular artist like Beyoncé’s team or James Corden? Chloe: Interesting enough, I’m constantly inspired by the kindness of the teams of the people that we’ve worked with, and finding a serious parallel between excellence and kindness. So Beyoncé’s team…they were so kind. Like truly kind. When I got nominated for an Emmy, they all congratulated me. Like they’re busy, they were on tour. But the fact that they’re constantly kind — I’m just very thankful that the universe has been placing us around like-minded people with a common sense of values. Now that you all have gained this new level of success, what are your biggest obstacles now? Maud: I would say now our biggest issue is time management. Now, we need to expand because we have so much work coming in that we’re excited about. We want to make T.V. shows, and sell them and write them. It’s about finding that time to do all of those things. Chloe: I think it’s a matter of getting the investors too, so that we can build the infrastructure needed so that our time can be divided. Because we do everything. So being able to have Chloe and Maud Productions hire employees. Creating more partnerships with brands and opportunities to help build our infrastructure so that we can get more hands on deck.
