Kelly Clarkson would like to set the record straight.

On the Mat 13 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the artist interviewed Whoopi Goldberg … and it didn’t take long at all for the conversation to turn to how much weight Goldberg has lost of late.

“Every time I run into you, you look younger! You’re like Benjamin Button. It’s like crazy every time you walk in!” Clarkson told her guest.

“First of all, it’s all the weight I’ve lost. I’ve lost almost two people,” replied Goldberg, who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award.

“I am doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help, and it’s been really good for me.”

This admission led to an admission from Clarkson.

The first-ever American Idol winner has also dropped MANY pounds, prompting speculation that she’s taking the weight loss drug Ozempic.

“Mine is a different one than people assume, but I ended up having to do that too because my bloodwork got so bad,” Clarkson explained on air of the weight loss drug she uses, adding:

“My doctor chased me for two years, and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems. Everybody thinks it’s Ozempic, but it’s not. It’s something else.”

Clarkson detailed how this unnamed medication is “something that aids in helping break down the sugar,” noting how her body “doesn’t do it right.”

Ozempic has become extremely popular over the last several months, especially among celebrities.

It is an FDA-approved prescription medications for people with type 2 diabetes and it works by convincing the brain that one is not hungry.

Clarkson — who finalized her ugly divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2022 — told viewers that she was inspired to change after seeing a video of herself perform… and scarcely being able to recognize herself.

Standing five foot three inches call, the artist said she was at 203 pounds at one point; that marked her heaviest weight.

“I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t,” Kelly told People Magazine in January.

“And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway.”

To be clear, Clarkson has also said she wasn’t a miserable person when she weighed more. This isn’t about one’s image or even self-confidence.

It’s about health.

Alongside guest Kevin James this year, Clarkson said she was pre-diabetic.

“I wasn’t shocked by it. They were like, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re right on the borderline.’ And I was like, ‘But I’m not there yet,’” Clarkson said at the time.

“And then I waited two years and then I was like okay, I’ll do something about it.”

Tyler Baltierra is keeping things very real.

And also very raw.

The long-time Teen Mom cast member posted a lengthy note on his Instagram Story this weekend after his wife, Catelynn, came under fire a few days ago.

Back on May 9, Catelynn re-shared a message that referenced the notion that “adoption is a beautiful thing,” stating on social media at the time:

“Oh, how often I hear these words and it makes me cringe.

“Yes. Adoption can be a beautiful story. But the phrase brushes aside the heartache, the pain, and the loss that so often comes along with it.”

Tyler and Catelynn gave up their daughter Carly back when they were teenagers — although they’ve been granted visitation opportunities many times over the years by her adoptive parents.

It sounds now, however, as if these same parents have been recently denying Tyler and Catelynn the chance to see Carly… which at least partly inspired Catelynn’s bitter response above.

“That choice does not come without a natural human cost,” explained Tyler of giving away your child.

“Most will never know the pain of what it takes to fight against the most powerful, biological & instinctual nature that’s required to make that choice.

“Most will never know what it’s like to grow, nurture, love & carry such a beautiful perfect innocence like your own baby… only to painfully relinquish that natural bond to another to do what you know you can’t for the sake of your baby.”

Acknowledging that Catelynn, in particular, “fights this pain everyday,” the 32-year-old went on to call out the strangers who have come down on the reality star for sharing her feelings.

“Her expressing that pain on those particular days when she is vulnerable, sad & at a loss, should not be used as an attack against her character,” Tyler wrote online.

“All I ask of you is to just PLEASE be kind.”

Seems like a fair ask, in our opinion.

Tyler and Catelynn reunited with Carly about a year ago. We don’t know the last time they saw her or tried to see her, though.

Tyle — who also shares daughters Novalee, 9, Vaeda, 5, and Rya, 2, with his spouse — went on to say that despite a “mutually agreed upon” plan to visit Carly every year, the pair has been denied the opportunity “MULTIPLE times” to see Carly and their frustration over the situation is “nothing new or foreign.”

“There is nothing we have done in our personal lives that has influenced this decision,” he continued.

“But at the end of the day, Brandon & Teresa are HER PARENTS! They are the only ones who have the authority to make these decisions.”

Terrible news today out of the world of journalism and entertainment:

Sam Rubin, a popular reporter on KTLA since way back 1991, passed away on Friday from a heart attack.

He was 64 years old.

The reporter appeared on air just a day before his shocking death, with colleagues saying he showed no signs of illness on May 9 or of any of anything being wrong at all.

Rubin remained with only KTLA for the duration of his career, which kicked off over three decades ago and which quickly established Rubin as a star in his industry due to his breadth film and television — along with his charisma.

On camera, Rubin was known to be jocular and warm, often talking about his activities with his wife and four kids.

He came across every A-lister you can imagine or cite, as an interview with Rubin was a regular part of any promotional tour.

“Sam was an icon in Los Angeles and the entertainment industry and he was a beloved member of our Nexstar Nation. My prayers are with his family and the KTLA family as we mourn his passing. He will be missed,” Perry Sook, chairman and CEO of Nexstar, said in a statement.

Added NBC Los Angeles anchor Lynette Romero, who worked with Rubin at KTLA for nearly 25 years:

“He would appreciate all of us saying how much we loved him…

“I don’t think he knew that this was his dream job. I don’t think he knew this was his destiny, but it was.

“He knew every celebrity and every celebrity knew him. I don’t know if there’s one person he wanted to interview that he didn’t get to interview…

“It will be very hard to move on past that, but he would want that. And he would want all of us to remember him and think of him and smile because he did that for other people.”

Actor Yvette Nicole Brown called “a friend” on Twitter, noting “I enjoyed all the times I got to visit him at KTLA.”

And Rubin’s longtime colleague and friend Frank Buckley praised the late reporter as follows:

“The Sam that you saw on the air is the Sam that was off the air. Our hearts are broken. To all of us he shared his mornings with on television, and to those he worked with behind the scenes … we will not forget him. Quite simply, Sam was KTLA.”

Sam Rubin is survived by his wife, Leslie, and four children. May he rest in peace.

Meri Brown simply cannot win when it comes to her professional life.

Previously, the long-time Sister Wives star worked as a salesperson for LuLaRoe, a fashion company that pretty much everyone believes to be a pyramid scheme.

It really did seem like a pretty shady endeavor.

Now, meanwhile, Meri appears to have left that business behind…

… but many fans aren’t thrilled with what she has replaced it with.

Just a few days ago, Meri announced that she had launched a company named after a phrase she often uses on social media: Worthy Up.

“I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I had to Worthy Up,” Brown shared via the company’s Facebook page on Friday, April 26.

“This community is a place where I will share my personal experiences of growth and hope to support you in your journey, too.”

According to this Facebook page, Worthy Up is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

We said at the time of our reporting that we weren’t exactly sure what any of this meant; we were confused by what the company actually does.

Fast forward to May 6 and Meri talking more in depth in an Instagram video about this “passion project.”

At one point, Brown mentioned that membership costs for Worthy Up cost anywhere from $150 to $600 per year, prompting quite a bit of consternation and annoyance from a number of users.

“What is this that would cost $600 a year? Putting your self on a list? I don’t understand what this is about?” one fan asked.

“What IS it? The ‘community’ what does that mean?” another user commented, while a third fan agreed as follows:

“Is it an [MLM]? A book? A course? A podcast? What is it?? What are ppl paying for??”

We very much agree with this sentiment.

A post shared by Meri (@therealmeribrown)

In the clip above, Meri is sitting on a porch and looking down at her knees, prior to stating in a voiceover:

“I’m done allowing other people to determine my worth. My voice will be heard.”

The video then goes over to Meri in a confessional … explaining that she’s had times where she’s felt “supported,” but also times where she was in a “dark place.”

However, she knew she was “not the only person in the world” who dealt with this, saying into the camera:

“I really wanted to be able to tell the full truth about myself. And while doing that, helping other people to understand that just because they exist, they are worthy.”

This sounds very admirable.

And we appreciate the perspective Meri has often had on her life, its trials, its tribulations and all she’s gone through with Kody Brown.

Of Worthy Up this week, Meri continued:

“I’m so excited to see it come to fruition! I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I knew I had to Worthy Up!

“The community I’ve created is a place where I will be sharing my personal experiences of growth, and want to support you in yours, as well! Remember, simply because you exist, YOU are worthy!!”

The company offers three different membership tiers, according to the website.

With the $150 Insight Membership, fans get a digital membership for the remainder of 2024, as well as access to the Worthy Up Facebook group, a “printable pdf WOW workbook,” an “accountability community” and first access to knowledge about upcoming events and merchandise.

The $300 Inspiration Membership comes with all of the above, plus “one interactive virtual live discussion” per month and a Worthy Up merchandise package.

Finally, the $600 Impact Membership offers all of the above, plus a discount on events and next year’s membership and a “surprise bonus gift from Meri.”

As you may have previously heard, Kris Jenner will reveal that on The Kardashians Season 5 that she was recently diagnosed with a tumor.

This is obviously a very frightening development for the polarizing television personality.

Aside from Jenner’s physical health, however, another major focus of new episodes of this Hulu reality series will be the health of a certain relationship between sisters.

No, we’re not talking about Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, who previously feuded on air.

Instead, this summer, it looks like the focus will shift to Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian.

In the first trailer for Season 5, Kim tells viewers that she and her loved ones have agreed to slow down a bit this year so that they can be “present in the moment,” only for Khloe to scoff and laugh and remark:

“Have the Kardashians slowed down? No.”

From there, the preview cuts to shots of family members at Fashion Week, along with Kim entering her “actress era” with her role on American Horror Story: Delicate… Kourtney’s pregnancy with Travis Barker… and then, as cited above, a bit of fighting between siblings.

In the video, Kim trashes Khloe for being “very judgmental,” prior to eventually labeling her as “unbearable” — while telling her sister she has a “stick up your ass.”

Yikes, huh?!?

As the two clash, Khloe informs Kim that she is “going through a lot right now” and “taking it out on me,” before Kim yells at Khloe to “get out!”

As is often the case, these brand new episodes were filmed a long time ago, as a lot of time it spent on Kourtney’s high-risk pregnancy… even though Kardashian gave birth months ago.

There’s also this fun quote from Khloe, who points to her chest in the promo and states:

“These aren’t my nipples, just so you guys know. They’re Kim’s.”

We’re glad we now know this, whatever the heck that means.

Here is the official season synopsis, courtesy of Hulu:

Just when you think life can’t get any faster in the Kardashian Jenner family, they punch it into overdrive.

From the big screen to baby bliss, the family continues to defy expectations in all their endeavors.

Cameras roll as Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie navigate contentious sister dynamics, all under the watchful eye of everyone’s favorite matriarch, Kris.

The Kardashians Season 5 premieres on Hulu on May 23.

As you may have heard by now, Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber have a very exciting reason to feel extremely blessed at the moment:

They are expecting their first child!

On Thursday, the singer and the supermodel shared this unexpected bombshell via Instagram, with Justin posting a montage of photos that feature his wife and her impressive baby bump.

Indeed, Hailey is a full six months along in her pregnancy.

Now, meanwhile, astute fans are wondering whether or not the spouses have twice the reasons to feel twice as ecstatic as they originally assumed.

Why?

Because they might be having twins!

To be clear, neither half of the couple has confirmed the gender of its impending child or even hinted that two babies might be on the way.

However, Bieber’s mother, Patti Mallette, wrote the following as a comment … responding yesterday to Stephen Baldwin’s social media message about the pregnancy.

“Congratulations Grandpa! WE ARE GONNA HAVE THE CUTEST GRAND-BABIES EVER!”

You can see where the confusion and curiosity lies, right?

Mallette pluralized the word BABIES, causing folks to speculate that twins might be on the way.

And, hey, they might be. Except…

“No not twins lol I wish,” Patti later clarified. “I just mean in general. Hopefully they will have more than one eventually. They will make beautiful babies whenever they have them. One is enough for now.”

The pregnancy news comes amid far too many rumors of marital trouble between the Biebers.

In late March, a source sounded pretty confident in telling In Touch Weekly that Hailey was looking to separate from Justin.

“Hailey’s struggling,” this tabloid wrote back then. “She just needs time to sort things out on her own.”

Hailey eventually took it upon herself to shoot down such personal and wayward speculation.

“Just FYI,” Hailey began on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, March 5. “The stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on TikTok are 100% of the time wrong.”

She went on to describe these claims as “made out of thin air … come from the land of delusion.”

Concluded the mother-to-be at the time:

“I know it may be fun feeding into these stories. But just know they’re always false.”

Finally, People Magazine alleges that the Biebers already have a named picked out for their first kid.

“Everyone is excited for them,” this People source said late on May 9.

“They will be great parents, and Justin will be super involved. This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect. T

“hey’re also starting to decorate a nursery. They can’t wait to meet the baby.”

According to a couple new reports, Gisele Bundchen is very unhappy over the material that was aired live on Netflix this past Sunday night.

Which does make a lot of sense.

When you stop to consider there were jokes made about the model’s boyfriend sticking his tongue up her rear end.

In case you missed it, the aforementioned streaming service aired a roast of Tom Brady this week.

And while the handsome quarterback was mocked for his involvement in a crypto scheme, along with his strange diet and connection to a controversial personal trainer… it was Brady’s failed marriage to Bundchen that most presenters/comedians focused on during the three-hour special.

Most notably, many of the stars on stage made references to how Gisele is allegedly dating her jujitsu intructor.

“Eight f–king karate classes a day?” Kevin Hart quipped about how Brady should have realized something was going on.

“Eight karate classes a day… and she’s still a white belt. The only bruises she had were on her ass. Everyone should have known.”

A source now tells In Touch Weekly that Gisele may not be a huge fan of those who exposed her personal life in such a manner — but she’s especially angry at her ex-husband.

“She’s livid with Tom for even agreeing to doing it,” ​an told this tabloid on Monday, May 6, explaining Gisele’s reasoning as follows:

“He knew the jokes would be cruel and aimed at his marriage and at her, but he did it anyway. She blames Tom for not even taking her or their children into consideration.”

The former spouses share two children, son ​Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11; both of whom are definitely old enough to search the Internet or watch Netflix and learn of these raunchy jokes.

“The jokes hit below the belt any they made it look like Gisele cheated, which she’s been desperately trying to deny. I know she has a temper and I’m sure she called Tom and let him have it,” the source went on.

Indeed, by all accounts, Bundchen and Brady split because the latter kept playing football, seemingly making it a priority over his family.

She did not cheat.

People Magazine, meanwhile, has quoted its own source, who says Gisele is “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family on Sunday evening’s roast show.”

We can understand where Gisele is coming from.

Just consider what Nikki Glaser had to say during her segment:

“The only thing dumber than you saying yes to this roast is when you said, ‘Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu.

“How much must it suck knowing that your ex-wife’s new boyfriend can beat your ​ass while eating hers? That’s got to be terrible.”

Yeah. Gotta be awkward to know your son definitely heard that joke.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 Might Be the Most Dramatic One Yet.

This is what Bravo wrote as a caption to a preview for new episodes of this long-running franchise, which returns on Sunday night, May 5.

It sounds familiar, we know.

But it may also be true.

On Season 14, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda will be featured as lead cast members… while Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler will return as Friends.

According to The Sun, filming kicked off way back in August 2023, not long after a three-part reunion aired in Bravo in June.

This same outlet reports that Giudice will remain the focus of the series on Season 14, but that she also will stick to her vow to stay clear from sister-in-law Melissa Gorga.

We actually won’t see very much of these women feuding.

So, what will we witness this spring and summer?!?

“Margaret and Jackie got into a big argument over her book. Jackie gave out copies of her book to a few cast members, but Margaret did not get one and that made her question their friendship,” an insider tells The Sun.

Josephs especially takes issue with her so-called friend because she introduced Jackie to the publicist who helped get her this book deal.

“I think people are so used to Jersey being about family,” Gorga has said to The Sun. “It’s a huge twist this year – plot twist!”

Margaret also teased to this publication that the “biggest fight” this season is between Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral. A PHYSICAL fight, she emphasizes.

“Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument and Danielle retaliated by crumpling her plastic cup and hurling it towards Jennifer’s face, drawing blood,” a source previously alleged to Page Six.

These cast members were even suspended for a few days as a result of this altercation.

“I could say for me it was very surprising. But for the viewer and fan of Housewives, it’s not surprising. They already knew what kind of person I was dealing with,” Danielle says to The Sun.

As for Teresa’s controversial husband, Luis Ruelas?

Rachel and John Fuda will continue to accuse him of hiring an investigator to look into their lives.

These accusations have been brought to court — as of February 2024 — when attorney Kevin S. Johnson and his firm filed a lawsuit against Luis (among others), accusing him of violating the Federal Wiretap Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the New Jersey Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act.

Finally… welcome to Kayla Giovinazzo, Tiffany Chantell-Rosania, and Jessica Kiraly.

These three fresh faces were brought on this season “as a test,” writes The Sun, to see if they might replace any veteran cast members down the line.

Tiffany competed on The Amazing Race in 2015; Kayla is married to Jamie Giovinazzo, the CEO and Founder of Eat Clean Bro; and Jessica creates fashion and lifestyle content on social media.

The Real Housewives of Season 14 will air on Bravo at 8/7c.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14: Everything You Need to Know! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Earlier this week, Prince William stopped by James’ Place in Newscastle, a male suicide prevent center, and was asked at one point about his wife and kids.

The question came in the wake of Kate Middleton having been diagnosed with cancer.

“We’re all doing well, thank you,” the Prince of Wales replied. “We’re all doing well.”

Now, however, we have a reason to think this may not be the case.

Speaking to The Telegraph a couple days ago, Amaia Arrieta — the designer behind many of the looks worn by the spouses’ kids through the years — said something that has gone extremely viral.

“I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell,” the fashion maven said of Kate and William, adding:

“I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.”

This revealing quote has left many observers of the Royal Family quite concerned.

Amaia went on to say how honored she feels to have helped dress the royals… ever since Prince George, 10, wore her brand’s corduroy shorts in a 2014 Christmas photo.

More recently, Princess Charlotte was pictured in the designer’s checked skirt on Mother’s Day — yes, we’re talking about the photo that sparked a certain editing controversy.

“Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” the designer told the Telegraph.

“They have put the traditional and classic way of dressing children on the map.”

That’s great and all, but focus is now entirely on how Middleton is feeling these days.

In late March, Middleton appeared in a video to deliver a self-written speech that confirmed her unfortunate cancer news.

Post-operative tests from her “planned abdominal surgery” in January revealed that “cancer had been present,” prompting her to start chemotherapy, she explained at the time.

Referring to the news a “huge shock,” Middleton said that she and her husband “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.

“But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.”

We don’t know a lot about Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment because she and her loved ones have said very little about the star’s health over the last several weeks.

But Kate’s diagnosis came weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles, announced on February 5 that he was also undergoing treatment for cancer.

There’s a lot going on these days throughout the United Kingdom.

“During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement back then.

“His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties.

“Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.”

Kate Middleton and Prince William are in “Hell,” Close Friend Claims was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

“My dream was to be married forever and grow old with this person. I did not want to be in this position, trust me.”

So said Kyle Richards in February during an appearance on The Today Show.

Unfortunately for the long-time reality star, this dream has not become a reality.

While making the above statement, Richards was referring to her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky, from whom Kyle is now separated.

Kyle Drops Mauricio Umansky’s Last Name On Instagram: Is Their Marriage Over?

Ten months after Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky announced their separation, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star made a surprising update to her Instagram profile.

Her profile used to read “Kyle Richards Umansky.” Though she’s never used Mauricio’s name in an official capacity, she always did love to be called Mrs. Umansky outside of Hollywood.

But the tides have changed. Now on Instagram, she has dropped her husband’s surname so that it reads “Kyle Richards.” However, she still lists “wife” in her bio.

So, maybe there is still some hope?!

Kyle Richards Divorced: How Her First Marriage Ended

Richards and Umansky announced their split in July 2023, although the two appear to still be legally married.

This cannot be said, of course, for Richards and Guraish Aldjufrie.

He might not be known to the average Bravo viewer, but Aldjufrie met Richards at a concert in the late 1980s

He didn’t speak much English at the time, but he and Richards reportedly had a blast at this event… and were then married with a year, with Kyle giving birth to the then-couple’s daughter, Farrah Brittany Aldjufrie, on October 31, 1988.

The spouses got divorced in 1992.

There are no hard feelings, however.

“He loved me. We had a beautiful daughter together. I loved him. And I was just too young to be married,” she said during a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 12 confessional.

Aldjufrie has since relocated to Bali, where he now resides full-time, although he appears remain close with his daughter.

“Thank you for teaching me and guiding me through life. I’m so grateful for our amazing bond,” Farrah wrote in 2020 in honor of her dad’s birthday.

Are Kyle and Mauricio Finished? Is a Divorce Final?

Fast forward to Richards exchanging vows in 1996 with Umansky.

The pair’s marriage and generally steady relationship was a central storyline for Richards during her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills… until last year’s unexpected announcement.

Kyle tried to explain where things went wrong two months ago on Today:

“I think there were certain things that were there that we had kind of been putting on the back burner for a long time. You know, you’re pregnant and you’re breastfeeding.

“And then it was working and juggling the kids and you kind of forget about it, and then it resurfaces again.

“And I think I just kind of came to a, I would say a breaking point, honestly. And I’ve gone through a lot. I lost my best friend, and I think that really does change you and makes you look at things differently.”

There Still May Be Hope For Kyle’s Second Marriage

Richards has also said she simply needed space from Mauricio, implying the break-up may be temporary.

“It’s not like there was one big thing [that caused the split],” Richards said on Season 13 of the aforementioned series.

“We do love each other very much and have a lot of respect for each other, so that makes it even harder to make a decision like that.”

The estranged spouses couple share three biological daughters: Alexia Simone Umansky, Sophia Kylie Umansky and Portia Umansky.

On Buying Beverly Hills Season 2, Umansky’s real estate Netflix series, Umansky told these kids:

“I had an amazing 26 years with your mom, an amazing 26 years. I wanted to do everything possible to just save it.

“So, you know, your mom came and she talked to me and she said, ‘I think I need space.’ She said to me, ‘Listen, the rules are that, you know, you go out, you date, you do whatever it is that you want to do. I’m not going to be asking you what you’re doing. I don’t want you to be asking me what I’m doing. Like, we are separated.’”

With her personal life seemingly settled at the moment, fans have moved on to her professional life.

Is Kyle Richards really quitting the show that made her famous?

As you may have heard, Rob Marciano is no longer an ABC employee.

The long-time meteorologist was let go by the network on Tuesday, although neither Marciano nor anyone affiliated with the network has spoken in public about the reason why just yet.

Marciano had been with ABC News since 2014, although was banned from the network studio in New York City last year for a period of one month… reportedly due to inappropriate behavior.

“He was found to have done something … that was improper, but he was punished for it, and they still haven’t let him return,” an insider told Page Six in March 2023.

Even during this punishment, Marciano continued to report on the weather from other locations.

It was an unusual situation.

And many observers believe it was related to the journalist’s divorce.

The news of his firing, you see, comes two years after his ex-wife Eryn Marciano filed for divorce after 11 years of marriage.

Eryn, an Atlanta native, is a successful real estate agent who started her career as a mortgage loan originator.

The couple sold its $2.7 million house the same month they announced their split, a decision Marciano admitted back then was made by his former spouse.

“The last couple of years have been very difficult. I didn’t want this and tried to save the marriage, but we are sadly divorcing,” the then-ABC employee said at the time, adding:

“My focus now is on my kids.”

Indeed, the exes share a daughter named Madelynn, 12; and a son named Mason, six.

The family took a vacation to Disney World together, even as Rob and Eryn were going through their divorce.

“Spring Break @waltdisneyworld — thru the chaos was much needed kiddos quality time — their joy is as we say #magical,” Marciano wrote as a caption to a group photo in April 2022.

You can check it out here:

A post shared by Rob Marciano (@robertmarciano)

Still, despite the pair seemingly being on good terms… Marciano took the divorce hard.

Last year, Page Six reported that Rob was going through “anger” issues as a result of his split, with an insider stating in cryptic fashion:

“He made people feel uncomfortable. There was a period where there were some issues, a number of alarming events.”

We cannot verify the nature of this discomfort; we don’t know exactly what Marciano was accused of doing or if it played any role in his firing this week.

In September 2023, though, Marciano celebrated the start of his 10th year with the network, writing via Instagram:

“I couldn’t be more pumped to continue this journey with all of you.”

“My thanks to the bosses who listened and made this work-life balance possible. I’m also grateful for an exciting new project with NatGeo that has me exploring some very very cool stuff… more to come!”

This may prove to be true.

But it won’t be at ABC.

Meri Brown is back on the market.

The veteran Sister Wives cast member terminated her marriage with Kody Brown back in January 2023.

She then dated some guy named Amos for a few months, but announced the couple’s split this past February.

So, what does Meri’s dating life looking like at the moment? Is she actively seeking a partner?

When asked on Instagram on April 29 she was seeing anyone special, Meri replied, “Not exclusively,” although she’s “gone out on a few dates.”

The TLC personality then elaborated as follows:

“Prince Charming has not arrived. I’m not really looking for a prince. No, I’m looking for a king. There’s a bit of an energetic difference there. A prince is still a boy. I want a man who knows who he is.”

As many viewers would attest to, over the course of the last few seasons of Sister Wives, Kody has very much NOT acted like a man.

“I want somebody who knows who he is and is confident in who he is,” Meri continued.

“Because I know who I am and I’m confident in who I am and I need somebody who can match my energy. When we cross paths, we’ll know it.”

Indeed, Brown just launched a company called Worthy Up.

It’s based on valuing oneself and, according to the official Facebook page, is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.”

Meri has been candid with fans for awhile now about her interest in self-growth.

Just considering how profound she got when explaining her break-up with Amos.

“Life is a series of experiences. How you handle them and what you learn from them is who you become from them.

“It takes courage to face difficult truths, yet it’s imperative in order to remain authentic to yourself and your commitment to personal growth,” Meri wrote to open a lengthy caption two months ago.

The long-time reality star went on:

“Just because I care a lot about someone, and him me, does not equate to full compatibility for a long-term relationship.

“When we have different dreams and aspirations, different communication styles and values, different visions for our futures, and these things aren’t aligning, it’s then that we need to make hard decisions.

“It’s a strange and sad thing to care about someone so deeply, to look beyond their past, because heaven knows we all have one, to see the kindness in their eyes and their giving heart, and still know that a life long relationship isn’t in the cards for you.”

The businesswoman added that she’s choosing to “look into my future with the hope of new opportunities” in the wake of the split, concluding:

“This is a time in my life to prioritize me, my well-being, and my personal evolution, and I look forward to more adventures and experiences on this journey we call life!”

The Roloff family could use your prayers right about now.

Late on Tuesday, Tori Roloff shared a concerning update on her Instagram Story, alerting followers to what sounds like a chaotic situation at home — for herself and for her husband, in particular.

Just how worried should we be about Zach Roloff?!?

“Today has been a doozy and I feel like it’s times like these that God is telling us all to slow down,” began the mother of three in her post, adding:

“We ended up at urgent care to help get Zach some relief from sickness.”

Tori didn’t elaborate any further.

Fans are therefore left to wonder whether this doctor visit was related to the scary brain surgery Zach underwent earlier this year.

Tori continued as follows:

“Our floors are being reinstalled and within 20 minutes of being home I threw my back out bad and can’t move currently all because I was trying to move furniture on my own.

“I have this guilt about tomorrow and how Josiah will (or if) he’ll even remember it, but I’m just praying he feels loved and celebrated.”

As you can see based on the photo above, the family will be throwing a party on Wednesday in honor of their youngest child.

We wish we could pass along more information, but none is available at the moment.

This has been a busy few weeks in general for Tori and Zach, as the spouses said goodbye eight days ago to Little People, Big World, making their final appearance on the show that turned them into household names.

“We are done. That part of our lives, that chapter has closed,” said Tori Roloff on a recent episode of her and her husband’s podcast, confirming their departure from the TLC program.

Zach made it sound on this same podcast as if the pair’s contracts have expired… and neither the couple itself nor network executives are interested in a renewal.

“We’ve made it pretty clear,” he explained. “They haven’t asked us back technically.”

As for the reason behind their decision?

It hasn’t been a secret that Zach has been feuding with his father, Matt Roloff, ever since the latter put a portion of his farm up for sale in May 2022 — and Zach felt as if he wasn’t given a fair chance to purchase the land.

“This last cycle was rough between the family, the farm deal, and we were done with it. We’ve moved on,” Zach admitted on his podcast.

As we just referenced, the issues started when Matt listed 14 acres of his Oregon farm for sale, angering Zach to such an extent that he trashed his dad as a coward and a manipulator after Matt pushed back against Zach’s version of events.

The relationship hasn’t been close to the same since.

On last week’s season (or maybe even series?!?) finale, Zach went ahead and doubled down on his hesitancy to forge a further relationship with his father.

“When it comes to my dad like yeah, I don’t know dude, like that ship’s all sailed. Like there’s not much of a relationship. It’s just doing our own thing.

“Time maybe even it out, but everything will be healed. It’ll just — it’ll be different,” he said.

For now, our concern lies a lot more with Zach’s personal health than the health of this relationship.

We hope Zach Roloff is doing okay.

According to a new report, Odell Beckham Jr. has fumbled his chance to make Kim Kardashian his wife.

This is funny, you see, because Odell Beckham Jr. is a professional football player.

People Magazine now claims that the veteran wide receiver will be running romantic routes alone for the foreseeable future because he is no longer dating the former sex tape participant.

Their relationship is no more.

“It’s over and just fizzled out,” a source told this publication on Tuesday afternoon.

Just over a month ago, Kardashian and Beckham were spotted at an Oscars party, allegedly all over each other. We’re talking major PDA here, folks.

This sighting came about six months after they were first linked as a couple.

“Kim and Odell have moved from casual dating to being exclusive,” said an insider late last year, labeling the pair’s connection back then as “real.”

Prior to Academy Awards weekend, the reality star and the former NFL All-Pro were seen together at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl party at The Cosmopolitan with friends in February.

We even heard rumors that that Kardashian was angling to get pregnant and to have Beckham’s baby.

But we never exactly believed such speculation.

Prior to Kardashian, Beckham was in a relationship with his girlfriend Lauren Wood; the pair are parents to a son named Zydn, who was born in 2012.

As for Kardashian?

She previously dated such athletes as Kris Humphries, Reggie Bush and Miles Austin.

She was also married to Kanye West from 2014 to 2021 and shares daughters North, 10, and Chicago, 6, and sons Psalm, 4, and Saint, 8, with the rapper.

Before getting it on with Beckham, Kim famously went out with Pete Davidson for nine months in 2022 before they went their separate ways.

Tori Spelling is no longer a married woman, but does that mean she can’t be pregnant again?!

She filed to divorce Dean McDermott in late March after 18 years of being wife and husband.

Just because she no longer has a spouse, however, this doesn’t mean Spelling no longer has interest in expanding her immediate family.

The actress may actually have another kid!

Tori Spelling Wants To Be Pregnant With Baby #6

Speaking to listeners of her “Misspelling” podcast on Tuesday, Spelling agreed with guest Sara Evans after the singer said she “would love to be pregnant again.”

“Same, my friend!” Spelling responded. “I would love to have another baby. Oh my god.”

The Beverly Hills, 90210 alum currently shares five children — Beau, 7, Finn, 11, Hattie, 12, and Stella, 15, and Liam, 17 — with McDermott.

In her aforementioned divorce filing, is asking for for sole physical and joint legal custody of these sons and daughters, with visitation time permitted for McDermott.

Why Tori’s Dreams Of Being Pregnant Again May Be Dashed

At one point on this podcast, Spelling jokingly asked Evans’ husband, Jay Barker, to “impregnate” them; at least we assume she was joking.

Later on, the mom of five later shared that having more kids is likely not in the cards.

“I’m totally in menopause, but I’m so bummed. I should have freezed [sic] my eggs,” Spelling said on air.

Back to her filing, meanwhile:

Spelling listed the date of the couple’s separation as June 17, 2013; and also cited ” irreconcilable differences” as the basis for their split.

Tori’s Messy Divorce With Dean McDermott

To observers who have been following Spelling and McDermott’s relationship over the past few years, this filing dod not come as any sort surprise.

It was on the exact date written above that we first reported on Spelling and McDermott deciding to separate.

“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways, and start a new journey of our own,” the Canadian actor wrote via Instagram statement last summer.

“We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time.”

McDermott previously confessed to having cheated on Spelling, while the spouses struggled with their finances for years.

“All Tori’s ever done to this day is want me to be happy and healthy and I inflicted a lot of damage and pain on that woman,” Dean told The Daily Mail on November 15, adding back then:

“I’m taking accountability for that today. And it’s the biggest amend that I’m ever going to have to make.”

On another episode of her podcast, Spelling revealed that although she gave birth to five kids, she wasn’t able to push them out of her vagina.

“I had five C-sections, you guys. So, I have to go on record and brag for a second that my OBGYN says that I have the lady parts of a 14-year-old, cause it’s intact,” Spelling said. “And I didn’t do five C-sections on purpose.”

This may explain why Spelling wants to get pregnant again.

“Since 5 years old, I was like, ‘I want to have a baby. I want to push out a baby,'” she added on this previous podcast.

American Idol bid farewell to one of its own on Monday night.

The long-running competition honored Mandisa — a Season 5 finalist who was found dead inside of her home in Nashville this month — by having series alums Colton Dixon, Melinda Doolittle and Danny Gokey return and reunite to perform the single “Shackles” by Mary Mary.

Mandisa belted out this same track” as a contestant on the program, saying back in 2006 that the song meant a lot to her “because it’s a testimony that there’s nothing too hard for God.”

The artist later recorded this song for her debut album, True Beauty, in 2007.

At the conclusion of this special performance, the aforementioned trio shared some words about Mandisa.

“I’ve known her for over twenty years,” Doolittle said, for example.

“We started off singing background in sessions together. And then she got on Idol, and I cheered for her, and I came the next season, and she cheered for me.

“That is my girl through and through.”

Gokey, for his part, said that Mandisa “was a fan of people,” adding:

“She was a cheerleader for other people’s music.”

The singer recalled that when he got dropped from a record label, Mandisa “had the biggest voice for me.”

Dixon noted that “Shackles” summed up Mandisa’s life in idea fashion, saying on air:

“I think she came in praising, I think she left praising. We’re going to miss her, but our loss is heaven’s gain.”

For the record, we do not yet know Mandisa’s cause of death.

A contemporary Christian singer who advanced to the top 10 on American Idol on Season 5 and who won a Grammy Award for her 2013 album “Overcomer,” she was 47 years old when she passed away.

“We can confirm that yesterday Mandisa was found in her home deceased. At this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details,” a social post that confirmed the sad news read a few weeks back.

“We ask for your prayers for her family and close knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time.

“Mandisa was a voice of encouragement and truth to people facing life’s challenges all around the world.”

Ahead of the tribute, American Idol released a statement following the news of Mandisa’s death.

“Mandisa was an adored icon on American Idol and in the music industry,” the reality show said in a statement.

“She had become a platinum-selling artist and had won several Grammys for her music. Her passing has left everyone on the show heartbroken, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family.”

On April 21, Ryan Seacrest confirmed a tribute was scheduled for Mandisa, saying at the time:

“We wanted to take a moment to honor a dear member of the Idol family who we sadly lost this week — Mandisa. She was an inspiration on the show and beyond.

“Our hearts go out to her family and all of those, like us, who called her a friend.”

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is not wasting any time.

The former inmate — who served more than eight years in prison for conspiring to murder her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, with ex-boyfriend Nick Godejohn — separated from husband Ryan Scott Anderson in March.

She then filed for divorce a few days later.

Both of these actions came mere months after Blanchard became a free woman.

Now, meanwhile, free from the constraints of her marriage, Blanchard has reunited with her former fiance, Ken Urker.

The controversial figure and Urker kissed for everyone to see at a jazz festival in New Orleans over this past weekend, with TMZ having obtained footage of the couple dancing and also swapping spit.

“After reconnecting earlier this month, we realized that our love for each other is simply undeniable, and life is too short to not take a chance,” Blanchard told this same website on Monday, adding:

“We have a history that made for the perfect foundation for a new beginning. We are together and in a wonderful place in our relationship.

“We know it is going to be a long road ahead but are excited for the future.”

Blanchard announced her separation from her spouse in a Facebook statement on March 28.

“People have been asking what is going on in my life,” the post opened back then.

“Unfortunately my husband and I are going through a separation and I moved in with my parents home down the bayou. I have the support of my family and friends to help guide me through this.

“I am learning to listen to my heart. Right now I need time to let myself find… who I am.”

Blanchard was released from Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri a short while back after serving more than eight years in prison for conspiring to murder her mother, as mentioned above.

Back in 2016, Blanchard pleaded guilty to the second-degree murder of her mother.

While behind began, she began correspondence with Anderson and the pair ultimately exchanged vows in July 2022.

She and Urker also met while the former was incarcerated, having connected through a prison pen pal program and then getting engaged in April 2019.

After this relationship ended, she struck things up with Anderson.

According to TMZ, Urker reached out to his ex after she announced her marriage was over.

In an Instagram post last monty, meanwhile, Anderson addressed the split and referenced the upcoming Lifetime series Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up, telling his followers that they will see what “really happened” when this program is available to watch in June.

Anne Hathaway has some very personal and very impressive news to share.

In a very recent interview with The New York Times in promotion of her upcoming movie, The Idea of You, Hathaway said the following:

“There are so many other things I identify as milestones.

“I don’t normally talk about it, but I am over five years sober. That feels like a milestone to me. 40 feels like a gift.”

Hathaway revealed a few weeks ago that she also suffered a miscarriage back in 2015.

In this case, the star has cited her over-reliance on alcohol at times in the past.

Speaking to Vanity Fair in March, for example, Hathaway said she knew “deep down [drinking] wasn’t for me,” adding at the time:

“And it just felt so extreme to have to say, ‘But none?’ But none. If you’re allergic to something or have an anaphylactic reaction to something, you don’t argue with it.

“So I stopped arguing with it.”

In The Idea of You — which will be released on Amazon Prime Video on May 2 — Hathaway portrays a woman named Solène.

She’s a 40-year-old single mom and she begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of August Moon, the most popular boy band on the planet.

The Oscar winner told Vanity Fair that she’s proud of her decision to be sober.

“My personal experience with it is that everything is better,” Hathaway continued. “For me, it was wallowing fuel. And I don’t like to wallow.”

During an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2019, Hathaway first told the public that she cut out alcohol.

“I quit drinking back in October, for 18 years,” Hathaway — who shares kids Jonathan, 8, and Jack, 4, with husband Adam Shulman — told the host back then.

“I’m gonna stop drinking while my sons living in my house.

“I don’t totally love the way I [drink] and he’s getting to an age where he really does need me all the time in the mornings.”

Via this same interview, Hathaway recalled a day when she was dropping her son off at school.

While she wasn’t driving, Hathaway said, “I was hungover and that was enough for me. I didn’t love that one.”

We applaud Anne Hathaway for making this decision — and we wish her nothing but the best moving forward!

“It’s a path everybody has to walk for themselves,” she concluded to Vanity Fair.

“The thing that I have faith in is that everybody else is going to have one or two drinks, and by the time everybody gets to two drinks, you’ll feel like you’ve had two drinks — but without the hangover.”

Here is a sentence we never thought we’d write:

Kristi Noem has a lot in common with David Eason.

Or at least one major thing in common, we should emphasize.

Eason, the estranged husband of former Teen Mom cast member Jenelle Evans, confessed awhile ago to killing his family’s pet dog after it nipped his young daughter.

Now, the South Dakoka Governor has admitted to having done the exact same thing.

On April 26, The Guardian released an excerpt from Noem’s brand new biography in which the Vice Presidential hopeful looked back about two decades ago… when she was the owner of a 14-month-old female hunting dog named Cricket, whom she described as having an “aggressive personality.”

During a hunting trip, Cricket refused to listen to Noem, she writes.

After the canine killed chased after some birds and killed some chickens, Noem says she “realized she had to put her down.”

Why not give the dog away? Or hire a trainer? Instead of taking it out into the woods, shooting it and burying it in a hole?

“We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen all the time on a farm,” Noem wrote on Twitter after the story got out.

“Sadly, we just had to put down 3 horses a few weeks ago that had been in our family for 25 years.”

Over the weekend, meanwhile, amid endless backlash from those on both sides of the aisle, Noem jumped back on social media and tried to defend herself in greater detail.

After previously referring to her dog as “less than worthless,” Noem wrote this time around:

“I can understand why some people are upset about a 20 year old story of Cricket, one of the working dogs at our ranch, in my upcoming book — No Going Back.

“The book is filled with many honest stories of my life, good and bad days, challenges, painful decisions, and lessons learned.”

The polarizing politician continued that she’s learned through her “years of public service, especially leading South Dakota through COVID” that folks want to be led by authentic individuals who aren’t afraid of challenges and who take lessons from the past.

This might be true.

But we’re guessing almost none of them want to be led by someone who would murder a puppy. Full stop.

“My hope is anyone reading this book will have an understanding that I always work to make the best decisions I can for the people in my life,” Noem added, hiding behind the letter of the local law as follows:

The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down. Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, I decided what I did.”

With Donald Trump considering Noem to run alongside him for the White House this fall, the Governor concluded:

“Whether running the ranch or in politics, I have never passed on my responsibilities to anyone else to hand.

“Even if it’s hard and painful. I followed the law and was being a responsible parent, dog owner, and neighbor.

“It wasn’t easy. But often the easy way isn’t the right way.”
