• Chris Rock Tired of Being Married, Faces Custody Battle

    When it was first announced that Chris Rock and his wife of 19 years, Malaak Compton-Rock, had split, it sounded like things might be as amicable as these things ever can be. It is a marriage that has had issues in the past, with the couple splitting up once before about eight years ago. Compton-Rock issued a kind of weird statement that referenced her work while confirming the split, then we heard she has been keeping the couple's two daughters from Rock and, well, this is starting to sound pretty messy. Rock reportedly filed official documents in a New Jersey court to dissolve the marriage last Tuesday, Dec. 23, and according to a report by TMZ it matters to him that people know it was his decision to pull the plug on the relationship. He is also pushing for joint custody while Compton-Rock is reportedly looking for sole custody of their children. Sources close to Rock have said that he is a great and an involved father, so much so that even while promoting his current movie, "Top Five," his work schedule had to be built around taking his daughters to school and then picking them up later in the day. That hardly sounds like the kind of guy you cut out of your kids's lives, and it kind of feels like she is trying to use the kids as a way to punish Rock, doesn't it?

  • 'RHONJ's' Teresa Giudice Believes New Legal Team Will Get Her Out of Jail Early

    It's amazing how many headlines Teresa Giudice still manages to grab, in spite of doing precious little in the last few months. Back in October "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star learned that she'll be serving 15 months behind bars after pleading guilty on several fraud charges, but she claims not to have really understood the plea deal that she took. Instead Giudice believes that her own legal team mislead her so she has been shopping for new representation as her Jan. 5 incarceration date quickly approaches.

  • 'RHOA's' Phaedra Parks Cancels Christmas Trip to Kentucky Prison to Visit Apollo Nida

    It looks like Apollo Nida's Christmas wasn't so merry after all. The reality star has been locked up in a Kentucky prison since September after pleading guilty to a string of charges last May. For a moment there it looked like "The Real Housewives of Atlanta"'s Phaedra Parks was going to take her sons to visit Nida, their father, in jail for the holiday but at the last minute she changed her mind.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Looking for People to Take Her Kids During 15-Month Prison Term

    The clock is ticking on Teresa Giudice's freedom. After pleading guilty to various counts of fraud, she was sentenced to 15 months in prison, and her Jan. 5 surrender date is fast approaching, leaving her no choice but to tie up all kinds of loose ends before she leaves for prison in Connecticut. While "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star originally claimed that she trusted her husband Joe Giudice to handle their four kids while she is away, that is no longer the case. According to Radar Online, Teresa has had a difficult time believing she is really headed off to jail, but as time has gone on and Joe's behavior has worsened, she realized her daughters are probably better off elsewhere. "She knows Joe doesn't want to take care of them, and she doesn't think he's capable. Theresa has become so desperate she's now considering giving her kids to friends!" says the source.

  • 'RHOA' Phaedra Parks Bringing Her Sons to Visit Ex Apollo Nida in Prison for Christmas?

    Could it be that the holiday season is causing "The Real Housewives of Atlanta's" Phaedra Parks to soften her edges just a bit? Fans of the Bravo series have watched in recent weeks as Parks's marriage to Apollo Nida unraveled shortly before he turned himself in to begin serving an eight-year prison sentence last fall. With Nida safely tucked away behind bars, Parks has admitted that she has filed for divorce, and when it comes to her young sons visiting their father in jail, it was not exactly on her to-do list. At least, not until now. Now, according to a report by TMZ, Parks may actually be reconsidering her original stance and a visit to Nida in prison might be exactly the gift that his kids give him. In the past, Parks has said that because she is raising two boys who will turn into men, she does not want to normalize the idea of prison for them. She had feared them thinking it was OK to end up behind bars briefly, and that is definitely not the notion she wants them to ever entertain. Fans have been divided on Parks's treatment of Nida. He got caught up in an identity-theft scam and check fraud, and while he has owned up to his mistakes, he has also hinted that he was trying to take care of his family on a grand scale because of Parks setting that bar so high. Once he turned himself in, Parks distanced herself from him, and some fans seem to think that in doing so she has been a disloyal wife.

  • 'Kate Plus 8' is Back for Another Special Episode and Kate Gosselin is Still Miserable

    Not only is Kate Gosselin headed back to television in the upcoming season of "Celebrity Apprentice," but she is also headed back to TLC for a special episode of "Kate Plus 8." The network just dropped a new preview clip to give fans of Gosselin's family a sneak peek of what is in store for them on the special, which will air on Jan. 13. Some things clearly never change and Gosselin's negative mood seems to be one of them.

  • 'Jersey Shore' Nicole Polizzi Marries Jionni LaValle

    It is kind of funny now to think back on Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi's days as a cast member on "Jersey Shore." Who would have thought that just a few short years after schlepping around on the boardwalk in slippers, drunk more often than not, she would now be an adult mother of two? Just to sweeten the deal, Polizzi finally married her longtime love Jionni LaValle yesterday, Nov. 29, in New Jersey. While she may have traded in beer bottles for baby bottles, Polizzi still likes to party, and it seems that no one was left out of yesterday's festivities. The wedding party was 32 people deep and Polizzi and LaValle's guest list had 500 names on it! All of the little kids in her family had a role in the actual ceremony, with Polizzi's 2-year-old son Lorenzo carrying a sign that said, "Daddy here comes mommy" before she walked down the aisle. Jenni "JWoww" Farley served as a bridesmaid and other "Jersey Shore" cast mates in attendance included Samantha Giancola and Deena Cortese.

  • 'RHOA's' Phaedra Parks is Trying to Forget Jailbird Apollo Nida Even Exists

    Phaedra Parks may have filed for divorce from Apollo Nida, but that doesn't mean that the drama is over for "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star. After resorting to fraudulent measures to try and support his family, Nida was finally busted for identity theft and other financial crimes. He turned himself in to authorities last September to begin serving an 8-year sentence and the reality show was filming during his last few weeks of freedom. Cameras caught Nida losing his mind because his wife was backing away from him rather than supporting him. Parks has caught some backlash from fans too for coming across a bit vindictive.

  • Tori Spelling Will Continue 'True Tori' Even Though It's Ruining Her Marriage

    If you are someone who has been watching Tori Spelling's train wreck of a reality show "True Tori" on Lifetime, then you have already seen firsthand what a mess her marriage is. When her husband Dean McDermott's affair became public knowledge nearly a year ago, the actress decided to make the personal crisis the platform for her latest reality show, and so True Tori was born. While McDermott initially agreed to look like a fool on camera and was willing to shoulder most of the blame during their filmed therapy sessions, almost a year has passed, and it seemed that they have gotten nowhere. McDermott is now refusing to film anymore because it, quite obviously, is not fixing anything, according to "Us Weekly." Spelling sat for an interview today on "The Meredith Vieira Show," and she once again explained and tried to justify continuing on with a show that, at this point, might actually be killing her marriage. She said, "We let it all hang out. I don't [think I reveal too much] because if everything hadn't been made as public as it was, I would've chosen to deal with this privately with my husband. We're talking about the affair that my husband had almost a year ago. I chose to deal with it because it was my journey, it was my truth. Women everywhere go through this and I wanted to put it out there. It's completely cathartic for me and it's very individual.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Getting Divorce Papers Ready as Marriage to Joe Giudice Is in Ruins

    Teresa Giudice is scheduled to surrender to authorities at a prison camp in Connecticut Jan. 5, a stint that will ultimately keep her locked away from her kids for 15 months. One of the ways that "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star is dealing with her temporary fate is by beginning to plan for her life afterward. Once she is released, her husband Joe Giudice will immediately begin serving a 41-month sentence for a string of financial crimes, and it is unlikely that they will be married once he is a free man. According to a report by the "Daily Mail," Teresa is already planning on having Joe served with divorce papers shortly after he is locked up. She is already furious that she trusted his business dealings only to find herself a convicted felon who needs to serve prison time. The reality star has insisted that she was prone to signing things that her husband put in front of her without really understanding what the documents actually were. As time has gine on, Teresa has found the resentment growing and she knows that it will only be worse once she is locked up while Joe is still walking free.

  • Dean McDermott Battling with Tori Spelling to Keep Their Four Kids Off Her Reality Show "True Tori"

    Tori Spelling has spent the last several months using her reality show, "True Tori," as a way to try and hash out her plethora of marital problems with Dean McDermott in front of Lifetime's rolling cameras. What's even more uncomfortable is the number of arguments that have been filmed right in front of the couples' four kids -- all under the age of 8. McDermott recently said that he is done with this reality show because he's tired of looking like the bad guy and now it seems that he wants to pull the kids away from those cameras as well.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Wasting Away as Incarceration Date Nears

    When Teresa Giudice was sentenced to prison along with her husband Joe in early October, the judge thought she was being kind by allowing Teresa to report to a prison camp Jan. 5. Those few extra months of freedom meant both parents would be able to spend maybe their last holiday season together with their four daughters. While "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" couple has tried to publicly present a united front, the truth of the matter is that behind the scenes they are falling apart. Joe used his alcoholism as a way to try and get out of jail time, as his attorney made a plea for him to go to rehab rather than prison. That attempt failed and Joe's actions since being convicted are hardly that of a man looking to get sober. Instead, multiple sources close to the family have said he is out at the bars daily, and Teresa is not doing much better. According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa is barely eating anything at all and has lost 11 pounds in the last month. Friends claim she lives on coffee, wine and a few nibbles here and there because she is super stressed about going to jail. While she has not yet said it out loud, Teresa has to be, on some level, concerned about leaving her kids with a man who cannot stay sober. She likely never really believed that she would go to prison for the few counts of fraud she pled guilty to. If she did entertain even the notion, it was probably something that was, in her mind, years away — after Joe finished serving his time.

  • Yandy Smith, Mendeecees Harris Return to 'LHHNY' with Daughter on the Way; Drug Trial Looms

    The official cast for the upcoming winter season of VH1's "Love & Hip Hop New York" has finally been announced, and a lot of the regulars have decided to take a season off by leaving the network to add several new faces to the mix. Two who will be returning, though, are Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris. If you are a fan of the show, then you already know that Smith spent months fighting to get Harris out of jail after he was incarcerated in upstate New York. Harris was finally released on $600,000 bail last April after being locked up for 15 months, and he is still facing trial based on charges that he allegedly helped to run a drug pipeline from New York City to the Rochester region. Smith may have come up with the money to get her man out, but their troubles are far from over. Add to that the fact that Smith is currently expecting their second child while also raising Harris's older son and you get the makings of an interesting storyline.

  • Tori Spelling, Dean McDermott Headed for Split After Sharing Marital Problems on 'True Tori'

    It has been nearly a year since Tori Spelling caught her husband of eight years, Dean McDermott, cheating on her with a woman named Emily Goodhand. Rather than buckle down and work together to try and resolve the multitude of problems that exist between them, Spelling instead decided to use their messy marriage as the foundation for a new reality show "True Tori." Viewers have watched as, week after week, Spelling has painted her husband as a villain. The on-camera meltdowns have often happened in front of their children, leaving many to think a split might be in everyone's best interest. Now it looks like that might be the only option left for these two. Instead of realizing just how badly the first season of "True Tori" really was and that it was not helping her marriage, Spelling rallied for a second season. A few weeks ago, McDermott said he is finished ripping open his veins for the sake of reality television, but by the time he finally reached that conclusion it might have already been too late to salvage things.

  • 'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Spending Last Days of Freedom Partying, Not at Home with 4 Daughters

    Teresa Giudice must feel like the walls are closing in around her. "The Real Housewives of New Jersey" star has to report to a Connecticut prison camp Jan. 5 to begin serving a 15-month sentence, according to TMZ, after pleading guilty to multiple counts of fraud. While she has been publicly selling the idea of keeping her family rock-solid and united through this crisis, behind closed doors it has been quite the opposite. We have already told you that Joe Giudice, Teresa's husband, is rarely home. Instead, he has been spotted out on a daily basis with his crew of drinking buddies, drowning his sorrows. After Teresa finishes serving her sentence, then it will be Joe's turn to spend nearly four years behind bars, after which he will likely be deported back to Italy. Their days living under the same roof as a family are clearly numbered, and it is likely that once Teresa is released from jail she will file for divorce from Joe once and for all. While she claims to be spending every moment with her four daughters, sources close to the reality star are telling a different story: Apparently she is spending her last days of freedom partying with friends instead of being at home with her four daughters. According to a report by Radar Online, Teresa has been spotted out almost every night with her friends. Fresco is the Montclair, New Jersey, eatery that has confirmed that the "RHONJ" star often comes in for dinner with friends and no kids.
