Ted Lasso is the hottest show in the world right now, so it’s no surprise that there’s a ton of gossip about the new season. And, while Season 2 is still airing, we did just get a delicious Ted Lasso Season 3 update from Mr. Jason Sudeikis himself. It feels kind of weird to be…
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but Tyga made a smart business decision for once and I’m kind of proud of him? I’ve taken a ton of shots at Tyga over the past few years, but I give him credit for knowing what to do when his nudes leaked. (Granted, it’s a low…
For now, it looks like news of Live PD canceled is the last word on the matter — but there’s a huge unspoken catch about the future of the show. Though A&E just announced it’s stopped production on Live PD and pulled reruns of the police documentary from its schedule, Live PD is also the…
For almost two years, Kylie Jenner has been lauded and excoriated for her status as one of the world’s youngest billionaires. Celebrity net worth and gossip machine Forbes christened Kylie the world’s youngest self-made billionaire back in the summer of 2018, and she’s been catching hell and praise in about equal measure ever since. But…
In the first major My 600 Lb Life update in weeks regarding the ten lawsuits against the show’s production company, a judge has agreed with the cast members’ request to consolidate most of those suits.

The latest Destinee Lashaee update doubles as the ninth lawsuit filed against My 600 Lb Life production company Megalomedia — and it contains some of the most disturbing allegations yet made about the producers.

After several weeks of seeing new legal challenges from former My 600 Lb Life cast members, production company Megalomedia has requested a dismissal of three of those cases.

My 600 Lb Life and Where Are They Now? star Dottie Perkins is now the sixth cast member to sue Megalomedia, the show’s production company.

The high-profile Texas attorney handling the My 600 Lb Life lawsuits promised us “more to come” in an exclusive interview with Starcasm, and that promise has been fulfilled once more. In a surprise Jeanne Covey update, the divisive Season 7 star becomes the fifth My 600 Lb Life cast member to sue Megalomedia as well…

But now we’ve gotten confirmation about the real deal: Chip and Joanna’s new show, which appears to have started production in earnest. To say that anticipation…

Almost three months to the day since Deadspin was obliterated by its clueless owners, the site is back — if only for a tantalizingly short while. There’s a new Deadspin up for your reading pleasure at UnnamedTemporarySportsBlog.com; the occasion is the Super Bowl, which means the site’s lifespan is unfortunately just this weekend. If you’re…
In a surprise announcement, Investigation Discovery has revealed that Murder Chose Me, its three-season true crime hit, won’t be back for a Season Four. But why was Murder Chose Me cancelled at all?

Celebrity puff pieces are great. They’re ostensibly about promoting someone’s brand, but they’re always full of ridiculous little details that threaten to undermine the promotion itself. And since Kanye West is basically a list of ridiculous little details come to life, any feature on him can only add to his legacy of oddities. This is…
We already knew that the Love & Hip Hop cast salary was heavily dependent upon star power and longevity — but LHHH star Teairra Mari recently spilled some of the show’s tea when it comes to cutting checks. Teairra gave a deposition in her ongoing revenge p0rn lawsuit against 50 Cent, and was forced to…
Last week, rumors of Love & Hip Hop Miami canceled raised plenty of eyebrows among the show’s viewers. Though it’s true that LHHMiami has had the lowest ratings of all four franchises, it’s also the youngest (by far — Hollywood is about to turn six; Atlanta is eight; and New York will be ten this…
The newest Love & Hip Hop franchise is also the one that’s struggled the most in the ratings — but is Love & Hip Hop Miami coming back, or has it really been canceled? According to a new report, VH1 is about ready to pull the plug; however, it seems clear that the network is…
In one sense, the official news of the Chip and Joanna Gaines cable network — which will almost certainly be called “Magnolia TV” or something close to that, but for now has no name — is a bit anticlimactic. We knew last year after Chip and Joanna went on The Tonight Show to announce their…
Shekinah Anderson is the newest member of the Love & Hip Hop Atlanta cast, and she’s already familiar to reality TV fans from her time on TI & Tiny. But the Atlanta-born stylist isn’t afraid to say what’s on her mind because her fashion empire has her net worth blowing up to the point where…
If you’ve got a spare $299,000 and are OK living in what may as well be a haunted house, you’re in luck: Josh and Anna Duggar’s house is on the market. The 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom domicile comes with plenty of amenities, proximity to Wal-Mart, and a reputation roughly on par with The Amityville Horror. It isn’t…
There’s no other way to put it: there is a true shitload of stuff in an Oscars gift basket. I thought it was maybe ten or twelve different things, nestled delicately upon a bed of shredded organic woodpulp inside a Ten Thousand Villages wicker basket. (The other deflating discovery I made is that the infamous…
1 Billion Orgasms, from filmmakers Brent Kinetz and Terence Mickey, is an interesting and difficult movie about an interesting and difficult topic. It’s the story of Aaron Headley, a biomedical electrical engineer whose real passion is developing a watch that’s supposed to help bring about female ejaculation. The watch is called the Squirt Watch. Aaron…
It’s one of the most successful shows on TLC, and has only gotten more popular with each new season. But does My 600 Lb Life pay its cast members? And does the show pay for surgery, or relocation to the Houston area so the cast can be treated by Dr. Nowzaradan? We’ve learned about some…

Ceaser Emanuel and the rest of the Black Ink Crew are back, and Ceaser’s empire is spreading like never before. The latest tattoo parlor to bear the Black Ink name, down NOLA way, is Ceaser’s fifth — but where is Black Ink New Orleans, exactly? And how is it different from the rest of the…

For months, Kanye West has been telling anyone who’ll listen that Yeezy has put him on the fast track to becoming a billionaire. His mid-spring tweetstorm, notable for too many bizarre and / or ludicrous statements to count, saw Kanye claiming that he’s already made more money from shoes than Michael Jordan (who is still…
K Michelle’s recent fight with A1 on Love & Hip Hop Hollywood brought up an unpleasant allegation from her past. But is K Michelle banned from radio — and has the banning really affected her career?

Last summer, we were one of the first sites to report on the astonishing likelihood that Kylie Jenner, the youngest adult and arguably the most easily mocked member of the Kardashian family, would also be a billionaire before her 21st birthday.

TLC just released the first teaser trailer for the brand new season of Sister Wives, and in the clip Meri Brown drops a sizable bombshell (to me anyways!) when she reveals that she wants to open a bed and breakfast. Apparently Meri has turned her dream into a reality as she opened the Lizzie’s Heritage…
Earlier this year, we brought you the (fascinating and depressing) news that 20-year-old Kylie Jenner would in all likelihood be a billionaire by her 21st birthday next August.

Chip and Joanna Gaines are still overseeing a steady, breathtaking expansion of their Fixer Upper empire. In the past year and a half alone, their major projects included Hillcrest Estate, the second Magnolia B&B; Magnolia Realty, their Fixer Upper-inspired, Texas-wide real estate agency; the official Magnolia magazine, and Chip’s very own memoir. And, if we…
E!’s recent feature on Kendall and Kylie Jenner “surviving” what the network has dubbed the “reality show kids curse” is notable for the attention it pays the pair’s increasingly sharp business savvy. Sandwiched in between fluffy half-anecdotes about how “Kris and Caitlyn Jenner kept things in formation” with their parenting and how the girls “even…
The Blue Collar Backers Ron Douglas phenomenon is real!

That didn’t take long: just days after reports of Kylie and Tyga moving in together come rumors of Kylie Jenner cheating on Tyga, and with the most likely suspect to boot.

The many facets of the total Kris Jenner net worth make an exact figure difficult to pin down; however, we’ve given it an honest go,…
Let’s face it, part of the allure and fantasy of 50 Shades of Grey is how loaded Christian Grey is. Meghan Daum even argued that Christian’s unimaginable wealth, and not kinky sex, is really what’s behind the “50” craze. What’s even more impressive is not that Christian’s a billionaire, but that he’s a self-made billionaire…
Breaking Bad fans are going through both a glorious and traumatic time right now as the series starts to wrap up, and Albuquerque, the town the series is set in, is looking for ways to cash in on the show’s popularity with everything from Breaking Bad tours to fake meth candy.

Zimmer is known for his catch phrase, “You’re going to like the way you look. I guarantee it.” Speaking of guarantees, I can assure you that Zimmer ain’t gonna like the way the company’s board of directors just unceremoniously fired him! Find out why the company made the move, what Zimmer had to say in the bitter parting and watch a commercial in memory of “that guy.”

In addition to appearing on the show and the spin-off Snooki & JWOWW, she started her own line of beauty products and has lent her famous moniker to other brands. As a result, the pint-sized reality star has accumulated an impressive net worth.
Apparently, being a Photoshop wiz can land you in the upper echelons of Silicon Valley — just not by following the path you might imagine. That was the case with Shirley Hornstein, who climbed her way onto a top-40 list of the most influential women investing in technology in Silicon Valley, by doing little more than dropping names and digitally altering photos.
