Jon and Kate's tabloid feud rages on, but what about the Plus 8?
Guess what? Kate Gosselin has finally realized that her and Jon's ridiculous, never-ending battle for the spotlight is negatively affecting her children. Give that woman a kewpie doll! (Actually, you might want to give her eight or there will just be more fighting.) How To Minimize Kids' Anxiety During A Divorce
The woman with the most famous hairdo since Jennifer Aniston recently confessed to Vanity Fair's Nancy Jo Sales that the stress from her impending divorce (and Jon's removal from the show's "equation"), along with the constant media frenzy (appearing on tabloid covers … Read More
Kate on Today Show: "I can't sleep at night. I can't pay my bills"
Kate Gosselin went on The Today Show this morning to discuss the weekend's latest Jon-is-a-jerk news, that he emptied out a joint money market account the couple used for household expenses, leaving her with only $1,000. And it's not the first time he's taken food out of their kids' mouths. "A few days before I filed for divorce, he had [taken funds out of the joint account]," Kate said in an emotional interview. "He didn't empty it completely, but it was enough that I was afraid of not being able to pay my bills…. I have a … Read More
Karina Smirnoff and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were the dance world's prime duo. Tweets explain the split.
The jig's up for Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff.
According to People, Karina's rep confirmed yesterday that the pair have called off their engagement.
Dancing With the Stars' Maks, 28, proposed to Karina, 31, in January of this year. The diamond appeared to end Maks' reputation as the show's untouchably macho stud and Karina's misfortune in love (remember her embarassing fling with dance partner Mario Lopez?). They began dating around this time last year, and Maks told reporters that he'd secretly loved Karina for a long time. For years she'd laughed off his advances but finally … Read More
Take The Real Housewives and dip it in shimmer.
It's no secret that we at YourTango are big fans of The Real Housewives series. In fact, we'd go so far as to say they're our television version of pizza. Even when it's bad it's still pretty good, but no matter how great, we feel a little bloated afterward. Real Housewife Sex Tape Scandal
So just imagine our excitement when we read that The Real Housewives are...turning into gay men!
Oh, child! At last! We've been thinking all along Sheree, Kim, Lisa, Kandi and NeNe should take the day off and give Gay Husband … Read More
Overweight reality T.V. contestants look for love, but is it working?
FOX's More To Love, which premieres tonight, July 28, follows the typical reality TV dating show formula, except with one main difference: there's an added layer of vulnerability to the contestants and—dare-to-say-it—a different shade of neurosis in these bachelorettes, who range in ages from 21 to 37 years and in weight from 180 to 270 pounds.
It's a combination that sits in your stomach in different, sometimes conflicting ways; none more so then when the show bounces back and forth portraying its characters' weight as something to be celebrated, and at others times, something to be overcome (or worse, gawked … Read More
Candy Spelling takes to Web to call daughter Tori and son-in-law Dean McDermott bad parents.
Don't you just hate it when moms get computer-savvy?
Candy Spelling took to TMZ yesterday to blast daughter Tori for setting her up to be part of Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. Candy felt she was invited to meet Tori's daughter for the first time as a publicity stunt for the show, an enticement for America to tune in and witness how Candy would react to meeting her granddaughter Stella for the first time. The meeting was to take place at Stella's first birthday party in front of lights and cameras, and apparently Mrs. Spelling hates … Read More
"I Married A Stranger" hopes to discredit the idea that seeing is believing.
We believe in love at first sight but the theory doesn't work quite as well if you take vision out of the equation.
Imagine falling for someone you've barely met let alone never laid eyes on? This is not the premise for a faceless Facebook application. It's the new Fox reality television show titled I Married a Stranger.
"Production has already been completed on the pilot, which centers on a woman who is in her late 30s and is eager to get hitched," reports Variety. "A group of friends and family are presented with five eligible men, … Read More
What Jillian Harris has taught us about dating more than one man at a time.
Fans of The Bachelorette will remember that Jillian Harris was cast off Season 13 of The Bachelor despite her fondness for single-dad-turned-serial-dumper Jason Mesnick. Not at all the mustard man Jillian was hoping for, Jason turned out to be total sauerkraut.
Moving past the picnic drama, Jillian is clearly ready to find love once again and has landed herself in the enviable position of dating 30 guys at once. As The Bachelorette swings into week 3, we examine what Jillian Harris has taught us thus far about dating more than one man at a time.

Kate Gosselin admits she doesn't know if she and Jon will be together much longer.
The premiere episode of Jon & Kate Plus 8 had the reality television couple signing off from different couches, a series first and perhaps a foreshadowing of what's to come.
Anyone tuning in for Season 5 of the TLC hit show was already alerted to the fact that Jon and Kate Gosselin have both been under intense scrutiny and pressure from the media regarding allegations of infidelity. What came to light was the pressure also put on the relationship by one another.
