Scheana Marie: My Split From Mike Shay Has Made Me Stronger!

A new season of Vanderpump Rules is upon us, and while we're sure to see plenty of new beefs and breakups among the staff at SUR, at least one cast member has been enjoying a steady upswing in recent months. After enduring a painful divorce from Mike Shay , Scheana Marie moved on and found love again with actor Robert Valletta. While that situation may not have gone entirely as planned, those who know her best say they've never seen Scheana happier. But while Scheana is understandably eager to leave the past in the past, she's also admirably candid in discussing the ways in which she's been changed and strengthened by the struggles that brought her to where she is today: 1. The Newcomer When we first met Scheana back in Season 1, she was the new girl at SUR. As Vanderpump fans know, that’s a difficult position to be in, but Scheana met the challenge with grace and courage. 2. Scheana and Shay At the time, Scheana was in what appeared to be a stable relationship with Mike Shay, and both parties openly discussed their desire to get married and start a family. 3. A Memorable Wedding The couple tied the knot in a swanky ceremony befitting Scheana’s unique sense of style. Unfortunately, not long after they exchanged vows, life for the Shays took a sharp downturn. 4. A Secret Addiction Shortly after the wedding, it was revealed that Mike was struggling with an addiction to prescription painkillers. He had reportedly gone to great lengths to hide his substance abuse from Scheana. 5. Toughing It Out Scheana stood by her husband’s side as he battled his personal demons, but as Mike withdrew deeper into himself, kept her at a distance, and began disappearing for days at a time, she began to feel she was left with no choice but to bring the marriage to an end. 6. An Example to Others Now, Scheana is opening up about the painful decision to call it quits, and the challenges of being married to an addict. As opioid abuse continues to destroy lives in record numbers, Scheana’s is sadly a situation that millions can relate to. View Slideshow

Jill Duggar: SLAMMED For Latest Parenting Fail!

Another day, another Jill Duggar parenting scandal. The mother of two is a common target for mommy-shaming, which is odd, as there are usually far more valid reasons to criticize Jill and her famous family. These days, Jill and husband Derick Dillard might actually be the most hated couple in the Duggar clan, which is really saying something. The Dillards offenses pale in comparison to the Josh Duggar’s sex crimes , but Josh’s wife Anna is beloved by fans, which somewhat balances things out. Jill and Derick, on the other hand, are both increasingly despised across the board. In fact, Derick was recently fired by TLC due to his online harassment of Jazz Jennings, a transgender teen who also has a show on the network. But while fans are often put off by Derick’s views, they’re often more vocal about their distaste for Jill’s parenting methods. Case in point–the Dillards stopped by Der’s parents’ house over Thanksgiving weekend, and a photo of the family at dinner shows 4-month-old Samuel Dillard seated on the floor . “Jill enjoys procreation, but once the baby is born, she’s not interested in the least in the actual parenting,” commented one fan. “How about a carrier or a swing – something besides the dirty floor? I never would have done that to either of my children,” another fan remarked. The situation brings to mind the time that Jill was slammed for putting a tortilla on her baby’s head . Was it dumb and weird? Sure! But it was dumb and weird in a fairly innocuous way. Folks, there are so many better things to complain about. And we’re not hitting you with the “starving kids in Africa” argument here. We mean there are better things to complain about within the Duggar family. You’ve got Josh; you’ve Derick’s bigotry; you’ve got the fact that certain siblings have no qualms about begging for money from fans, despite the fact that the family presides over a lucrative media empire. And don’t get us started on the ludicrously over-the-top efforts to hide the fact that Joy-Anna Duggar clearly got pregnant before her wedding to Austin Forsyth. View Slideshow: Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard Photos The point is, the Duggars are a veritable treasure trove of awfulness. So let’s focus on the truly terrible and maybe not worry so much about a baby sitting on the floor, mmm-kay? Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family.

Tek Time, Bruv: Meghan Markle Will Still Have To Wait Like A Common Plebeian For UK Citizenship

Image via Splash Meghan Markle’s Path To British Citizenship To Be “Normal” Just because Meghan Markle is about to become a Black princess doesn’t mean that she gets favorable treatment from Kensington Palace. According to TMZ , Meghan will have to apply for citizenship and wait up to 5 years like every other fish-and-chipper ‘cross the pond. This doesn’t necessarily affect the wedding, however, Meghan’s status or, lack thereof, will play a role in her potential child’s life. If Meghan and Prince Harry have a child before her citizenship is official then the kid will automatically be a dual citizen. American royalty of color does sound pretty good. Just sayin’.

‘RHOAS10’ Recap: Kim Zolciak Pops Off On Kenya At NeNe’s All White Party

Originally posted here:

Source: J. Kempin / Getty Tonight’s episode of Real Housewives of Atlanta picks up where we left off last week, dealing with Gregg’s heart procedure. NeNe was freaking out, rightfully so, but it seems as if there’s hope. Gregg doesn’t have any artery blockage, but he does have an irregular heartbeat condition known as “low heartbeat.” His father died from that condition so Gregg needs to stay on top of his health, and it’s looking like he may need a pacemaker. NeNe is nursing Gregg back to health, but she’s also planning an all-white soiree. You know parties are where it always goes down on any reality show. Stay tuned. via GIPHY Sheree has a life coach named Jack Daniels. Seriously. Jack. Daniels. Anyway, Mr. Daniels is there to help her figure out how she’s going to address the abuse she went through with her kids. Sheree gets emotional going over this again. Later on, we find Kenya kicking it with Sheree. She’s still talking about her phantom husband, but she’s also planning to create a PSA about domestic violence and enlists Sheree’s help. Sheree thinks it’s a great idea, but hasn’t confirmed that she’ll participate yet because it may be a conflict of interest with some of her other DV ambassadorship so we’ll have to wait and see. Kandi is having a major moment. She’s Essence Magazine cover girl for the confidence issue and the cameras will be there. You know she rocks her shoot. You’ve seen it by now! via GIPHY Marlo pops up again and we all just come to terms with the fact that she’ll always have a peach pit and not an actual peach. via GIPHY Anyway, she and NeNe haven’t spoken in about 4 years (because NeNe was mad at Marlo for being friends with Kenya), but they’re friends again for now, just in time for NeNe’s white party. Kim Zolciak is also back. Sheree invites her to NeNe’s party. Kim agrees to go but she’s not sure how NeNe will receive her. Interestingly enough, it’s not NeNe that Kim needs to worry about, it’s Kenya! This brings us to the party. Everyone is there. EVERYONE . Derek J, Lisa Wu from season one, Marlo. EVERYONE ! And when Kim comes strutting in, starts out okay, with Kim and NeNe actually getting along, but Kim ruins it by throwing shade at Marlo and Kenya respectively. Marlo is actually the bigger person in this scenario. She keeps it cute and doesn’t give in, but Kenya pops off. Kenya is a lot more sensitive here because Kim shaded Kenya’s husband by insinuating that he doesn’t exist. Valid point, but uncalled for and Kenya isn’t with it. They take turns verbally insulting each other until Kenya takes a jab at Kim for “pimping her daughter out on twitter for some john legend tickets” and all hell breaks loose. The episode ends with Kim standing up looking like she’s about to drag Kenya like Porsha did. But Kenya is standing up too, looking like she’s down for whatever. Their respective friends are holding them back so we’re probably not going to see another brawl, but you never know. See you next week.

Mama June: I’m Gonna Be a Beauty Queen!

It feels like it's been forever since we last got a substantial update on Mama June, doesn't it? In reality, it's only been about six months since we saw the finale of her new reality show, Mama June: From Not to Hot, the one that documented her weight loss journey. In episodes that aired back in the spring, we saw June get gastric sleeve surgery . The surgery, along with diet and exercise, led to her losing around 300 pounds. Initially, she wanted to lose the weight to get one of those “revenge bodies” to throw in Sugar Bear's face — remember, they split up after he cheated on her several times. At the time, he had just proposed to a woman named Jennifer Lamb, and June wanted to look extra amazing at their wedding, so she really did put a lot of work into her weight loss. She went through the first surgery, then two more surgeries to remove excess skin. If you saw the show, or even if you just saw photos from those procedures , you know that it was rough on her. But she lost the weight, she looked great at Sugar Bear's wedding, and she's managed to keep all that weight off for nearly a year now. You know what that means? It means it's time for a brand new season! WE tv just released a teaser for the second season of Mama June: From Not to Hot, and it's … well, it's probably not exactly what you'd suspect. The teaser starts with a shot of a tiara, and in the caption of the video, the network wrote “Mama June is hitting the pageant circuit!” Could it be? Could June be following in Honey Boo Boo's footsteps? Could she really be entering the world of beauty pageants? Looks like it. There's really no other way to interpret all this. “To be a pageant queen, one needs refinement, poise, charm,” a fancy Englishman explains in a voiceover while June acts like June. Just in this short little teaser, we see her burp, fart, and blow an air horn while good ol' Jennifer Lamb tries to talk to her. “Mama June's hitting the pageant circuit,” the voiceover announces, as she asks “Why the hell not, y'all?” Why the hell not, y'all, indeed. We don't have an exact premiere date yet, but come January 2018, Mama June will find her way back to our televisions. … Yay? Check out the teaser below:

Maci Bookout: Will She Attend Ryan Edwards’ Wedding?!

Tomorrow’s the big day, friends! Sometime on Saturday, Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer will promise to leave each other for always, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death ( or another Tinder scandal ) do them part. Yep, Ryan and Mackenzie are having their second wedding ceremony tomorrow — and from what we know so far, this one will be quite a bit different than their first. Just in case you forgot — LOL, just kidding, the Teen Mom OG footage of their wedding will stay with you until the day you die — the first wedding took place in a parking lot by the aquarium in Chattanooga. The only guests were Ryan’s parents, Jen and Larry, and also Ryan’s dog. Jen cried throughout most of it. Ryan admitted that his son, Bentley, didn’t know about the wedding, and it’s probably safe to say that Mackenzie’s son didn’t know about it either. As if all of that wasn’t depressing enough, we also saw Ryan drive himself and Mackenzie to their parking lot location while super, super high, and he seemed to be nodding off during the ceremony, too. They wanted to get married quick to help in their custody case for Bentley, which … OK, sure, that makes sense. But as we saw in previous Teen Mom episodes, they’d been planning a much more traditional church wedding for this November. And now that it is November, we know they’re actually going through with this thing, too! Mackenzie confirmed the news earlier this week, explaining that this wedding will take place “in this little cathedral-type church and it’s just absolutely beautiful.” “We went for a rustic-chic theme so there are elements that are super formal and elements that are just very laid-back,” she said. “But it’s gorgeous.” “There’s a reception afterwards that’s in this old warehouse-type space that’s been redone. The ceremony is me: super urban, super chic. The reception is Ryan, where it’s rustic.” We don’t know that we’d describe Mackenzie as “super urban” OR “super chic,” but if that’s how she sees herself, then bless her. It’s also weird that she keeps referring to Ryan’s aesthetic as “rustic” — is it because literally the only things we’ve ever seen him enjoy have been four wheelers and killing cats ? Surprisingly, Mackenzie also revealed that Maci Bookout, Ryan’s ex and the mother of his son, was invited to the wedding. “She invited us to her wedding,” she said. “Everything is just kind of at a resting place right now. It’s about our boys. This is a day about us, yes. But it’s also about us becoming a family.” What she said is true, but it’s a little shocking to hear, considering that just a few months ago, she basically blamed Maci for Ryan’s drug use. On the Teen Mom OG reunion special for the last season, Mackenzie read a letter to Maci in which she accused her of “exploiting Ryan’s addiction on the show.” She claimed that the incident on the way to the wedding, the one where Ryan was nodding off behind the wheel, was the very first time she ever noticed that he might be on drugs, and if Maci knew before then and didn’t tell her, well, then if anything happened to him it would be her fault. After that, Maci hit Mackenzie with “You’re so full of sh-t that your eyes are brown,” Mackenzie stormed off the stage … it wasn’t great. But it seems like things have improved since then — because Maci is actually going to the wedding! A source close to Mackenzie spoke to Radar Online, explaining that “Mackenzie received Maci’s response card. Yes, she will be there. They are getting along.” She’ll bring along her husband, Taylor McKinney, and of course Bentley will be there, but no one else from the Teen Mom crew will be there. Well, except for the actual Teen Mom crew, because they’re filming the event for the show. And we thought we couldn’t get more excited for this trainwreck of a wedding!

Ryan Edwards and Mackenzie Standifer: Getting Married This Weekend! Again!

Troubled Teen Mom OG cast member Ryan Edwards is getting married to Mackenzie Standifer this weekend, according to a new report. It can’t be any more awkward than last time. Back in May, as you clearly remember (how could you ever forget if you watch Teen Mom OG online ), Ryan and Mackenzie made it official. The only witnesses: Ryan’s parents, Jen and Larry Edwards, an MTV film crew and millions of viewers at home who saw some disturbing dashcam footage. As Ryan Edwards drove high to his own wedding , fans were up in arms over how Mackenzie – or the network – could ever permit that. Before Standifer pulled the plug on the dashcam, Ryan could be seen driving the car while so out of it he seemed barely awake at times. Not surprisingly, observers widely questioned the validity (or at least the sanity) of the bizarre parking lot wedding that followed soon after. Edwards, who shares son Bentley with Teen Mom OG star Maci Bookout, felt his efforts to win more custody would be aided by a marriage. The logic of that assertion is debatable. Even before his image was hurt by the MTV clip in question, the argument was flimsy, but it was allegedly why they rushed the nuptials. Then Mackenzie blamed Maci for almost killing Ryan (not literally, but indirectly through her actions) and the whole thing was just a mess. If Standifer and Edwards’ union got off to a rough start, it got worse, with Edwards busted sending d–k pics on Tinder  to random girls. And yet, six months later, they have weathered the storm, and according to The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, are ready to do it up right: They’re getting hitched on Saturday! Ryan and Mackenzie will be saying “I do” (again) in their hometown of Chattanooga, Tenn., with actual guests there to see it this time. Unlike their first ceremony, Ryan’s son Bentley and Mackenzie’s son Hudson, as well as a bridal party, will watch them exchange vows. Yes, MTV will film round two as well. “They will be filming at the wedding, and a crew has been there capturing the pre-wedding stuff too,” The Ashley’s source tells the site . “For awhile [production] wasn’t sure if Ryan and Mackenzie would allow the wedding to be filmed,” apparently, given their recent history. “They declined to come to Los Angeles to film the special with the rest of the cast in October, and some other things. But they are filming it.” It’s not clear if Maci Bookout will be attending, though there’s no doubt Maci’s reactions to the wedding will be a major topic this season. Mackenzie and Ryan, as we said, have been struggling in their marriage after Edwards was released from rehab and going on Tinder. While newlywed Ryan trying to bang other girls technically doesn’t concern her, it’s no shock that  Maci feels he can’t be trusted as a result. That incident, of course, opened up a can of worms, with Bookout and Edwards feuding and Ryan and Mackenzie on the brink of divorce. At one point, Ryan even blocked Mackenzie’s number and told members of the crew and production team that he planned to file for divorce. Didn’t happen, though. To the surprise of many fans, Standifer stood by Edwards ‘ side, even in the wake of what had to be a most humiliating ordeal.  While Standifer made a grand public display of loyalty to Edwards with the photo above, she was clearly reeling – and furious. She called out one of the recipients of Ryan’s naked photos, urging her to cease communication with her husband or else. “Please stop playing dumb. … I know everything,” Standifer told Ryan’s Tinder girl, further instructing her, “ I want you to stop .” When the Tinder match, whose photos have not been released, asked what she would like her to “stop,” Standifer threatened: “Guess we will have to do this the hard way.” View Slideshow: Teen Mom OG Season 7: Everything We Know (and Don’t Know) So Far It’s not clear what that means, or how Mackenzie dealt with her – or Ryan for that matter. But clearly things have progressed positively. Just a short time, later, the Teen Mom couple has evidently worked through their issues and the (second) wedding is just days away. Think they’ll go through with it – and it’ll last? Comment below … and stay tuned.

Wendy Williams Blasts Kenya Moore: Your Marriage is a Fraud! You Should Be Fired!

Wendy Williams went ahead this afternoon and did what she does best: She stuck her irritating nose where it doesn’t come close to belonging. On Sunday night’s emotional episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta , Kenya Moore admitted that her marriage to Marc Daly is already in trouble. The two got hitched this summer in a shocking ceremony that reportedly even took Bravo executives by surprise. There was talk earlier this year that Moore might be fired from The Real Housewives because she didn’t let network cameras film her wedding. Heck, she barely even let producers know she was getting married! Details on Daly remain very fuzzy, but Moore said on the latest installment of this reality show that her husband is “in the corporate world” and is a “former Wall Street banker and now an entrepreneur.” Daly lives in New York City; Moore remains in Atlanta; and, yes, there’s already trouble in romantic paradise. “My husband is just feeling very overwhelmed because he’s a private person,” Moore said at one point, latter crying through a closed door: “I don’t want to get divorced.” Sad stuff. So, naturally, Williams felt like it was her duty to pile on. “Shut up,” the talk show angrily told Moore during her Hot Topics segment on Monday, adding: “I don’t even know if she’s really married, but if you are really married, then you’re just beginning. You want to know the pressure of being married in the public eye? I believe nothing she said. “They need to kick her off the show. “You live in Atlanta, your man lives in Brooklyn. “If you want to have a real marriage, you have to be in the same town, in the same house, in the same bed.” Williams, whose husband has been accused of having an affair , is definitely in the position to lecture someone else about how to have a happy marriage, don’t you think? We’d say we’re shocked that Williams would offer up a scathing opinion on something she knows nothing about… … but that’s like saying we’re surprised when water is wet or the sun rises everyday. This is just what Wendy Williams does. Heck, she recently blamed a rape accuser for having been allegedly raped by Nelly just because… well… we don’t even know why. Because she knew he would earn her headlines and ratings, we guess. In this case, Williams is maybe making less sense than ever. Producers ought to kick Moore off the show because she’s maybe in a weird marital arrangement that is causing her strife? We’re pretty sure that’s the tagline for ALL Real Housewives shows: Watch Women Who Are in Weird Marital Arrangements That Are Causing Them Strife. (And Also Who Drink A Lot of Wine!)
