Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton: Still Together, But…

For the record, let’s get this out of the way up front:

Josh Murray and Amanda Stanton are still together.

Following Tuesday night’s emotional Bachelor in Paradise finale, the couple remains engaged.

But will they actually make it down the aisle?

The answer to that question does not seem as definitive, not after reading what sources have told Entertainment Weekly about Murray and Stanton.

“Josh and Amanda are still engaged, but it’s been a tough road,” an insider tells that outlet, adding:

“They have broken up a couple times since getting home and have had a rough start to their relationship.”

Murray, of course, has a checked past of being engaged.

He proposed to Andy Dorfman to conclude her season of The Bachelorette, only to split from his fellow reality star a few months later, in Januay of 2015.

In her new memoir, Dorfman positively SLAMMED Murray, writing that her time with him was the “most volatile and f-cked up relationship of my life.”

She added that Murray used Dorfman’s sexual past with Nick Viall to refer to her as a “whore.”

In response, Murray has referred to his ex-fiancee’s allegations as “ludicrous.”

Murray’s co-stars on Bachelor in Paradise often brought up Dorfman’s book, however, making for quite an awkward situation.

Is what why things may now be falling apart between him and Dorfman?

Not really, although it clearly doesn’t help.

“Part of it in the beginning was the distance, and the other part was added pressures like dating in the ‘real world,"” the source tells ET.

Murray moved this summer from Atlanta to California to live with Stanton and her daughters.

The presence of these two children add new pressures and obstacles for the couple, even with Stanton saying on the Bachelor in Paradise finale after-show that her kids love Josh.

She told Murray on the aforementioned finale that he’s the “sweetest,” most “perfect” guy and the stars are certainly saying all the right things now.

“Things are going amazing! We balance each other out so very well. She’s a calming force. She helps bring that inner peace to me. I finally met my unicorn!” Murray hilariously tells Us Weekly in its latest issue.

Amanda, meanwhile, said she wants more kids with Murray… eventually.

“He’s so dedicated and so loyal. He’s sweet and thoughtful and caring – it’s not just something he turns on for the cameras,” she told Us.

Are things between them crazy and hectic?

Yes, Josh admits, but: “It’s fun. That’s life.”

Do you think Josh and Amanda will make it?

Do you think Amanda should read Dorfman’s book and open up her eyes to what Murray is really like?

Or should we just leave these two alone (after they stop giving magazine and television interviews) and let them live their life to see what transpires?

Dwayne Johnson on Fast 8 Cast: We"re Family, But…

Dwayne Johnson has once again spoken out on the cast of Fast 8.

But he didn’t drop the smackdown on any of them this time around.

Earlier this week, Johnson stirred some controversy for practically the first time in his career, calling out an anonymous male co-star for that actor’s behavior on set.

In an epic Instagram rant, Johnson WENT OFF on this individual, stating that he is a “candy ass” who is not a true professional or a “stand up” person.

“When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling – you’re right,” Johnson wrote.

The post took many fans by surprise.

Johnson, after all, is known as a jovial guy. When was the last time he was involved in any kind of scandal?

Moreover, ever since the tragic death of Paul Walker, the Fast & Furious cast has taken pride is being a close-knit community.

In the wake of Johnson’s rant, sources told TMZ that his wrath has been aimed at Vin Diesel for awhile.

Diesel, who serves as a producer on Fast 8, reportedly shows up late for work and does not treat many on set with respect.

Conversely, according to a TMZ update, Johnson is kind, friendly, hard-working and gracious to all around him.

These latter points appear to be backed up by a new video on Johnson’s Instagram account.

Check it out here:

A video posted by therock (@therock) on Aug 10, 2016 at 2:43pm PDT

Along with the fun he is having with Fast 8 crew members above, Johnson wrote a lengthy caption to this footage.

It acknowledges the issues he had while filming.

“You guys reading this know how much I believe in the idea of TEAM EFFORT,” the action star said.

“That means respecting every person, their time and their value when they step on to my set or partner with our production company.”

There’s a solid, subtle dig at Diesel, huh?

“And like with any team – that’s a family – there’s gonna be conflict,” he added.

“Family is gonna have differences of opinion and fundamental core beliefs. To me, conflict can be a good thing, when its followed by great resolution. I was raised on healthy conflict and welcome it.

“And like any family, we get better from it.”

Concluded Johnson:

“At the end of the day me and #F8 co-stars all agree on the most important thing: Delivering an incredible movie to the world. #Fast8 #IcemanCometh #FamilyGrowth.”

It’s hard not to take Johnson’s side in this, right?

The guy is simply beloved around Hollywood and around the country.

He appears to be very well-liked by the crew members above.

Diesel, conversely, allegedly left the set of this movie as soon as his filming was finished. He got the heck out of there.

He is yet to address the feud in public.

Should Johnson have done so? Maybe not. It may not have been the most professional decision.

But we’ve all been frustrated at work, right? We’ve all felt a need to vent.

That’s what Johnson did here; he just happens to have millions of followers to whom he can vent.

We smell what the star is cooking and we remain anxious to share it with him at a table someday.

Kourtney Kardashian on Scott Disick: We"re NOT Together, But...

Kourtney Kardashian would like to go on the record.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star taped an interview with Ellen DeGeneres this week (it will air on Monday, January 25) in which the topic of Scott Disick came up.

Kardashian and Disick, of course, were together for nine years and came together (literally!) to create three gorgeous kids before Kourtney broke up with him last summer due to behavior that included a lot of drinking and possibly too much cheating.

But there have been rumblings over the past several weeks that Kourtney and Scott are hanging out again and that the former would even consider a reconciliation?

Is this true, Ellen wanted to know?

"Well, we’re not together," Kourtney says in the following sneak peek. "I feel like every day is different, but we’re totally getting along. Like, we have three beautiful kids together."

There"s been recent talk that Kardashian has been hooking up with Justin Bieber and also talk that Disick has moved on with a woman named Lina Sandberg.

But many insiders have made it clear that Disick is intent on getting Kardashian back.

"He’s family. He’ll always be," Kourtney says toward the end of the sneak clip below.

Watch it now and try to read between the lines: Do you think Kourtney and Scott will ever get back together for real?

Arianda Grande Denies Slamming the Kardashians, But...

It’s already on record that Arianda Grande hates America.

But the young singer has also made it known that she hates girl-on-girl verbal violence, as demonstrated by a very odd and seemingly misguided meme she recently shared on Instagram.

As you can see in the top right, Grande wants to send “8,000,000 roses” to the doorstep of the person who created this image.

She also swears she is not throwing “shade” via her posting of it, writing that she is “shading” other memes, not the Kardashian sisters to whom this one makes reference.

Our heads are spinning faster than Grande backtracked after her aforementioned “I hate America” moment, but allow us to break down the nonsensical nature of this meme:

• When you juxtapose the Kardashians with a message about how we should spread love, not hate, you are most definitely slamming the Kardashians.


• Princess Di is featured here because…? You tell us, Ariana.


• Look, we’re all for feminism. And women definitely insult other women far too often for random, hurtful reasons, such as the color of their blouse or something.


• But we’re not sure if celebrating “all women” simply because they are women is really an example of feminism.


• Wendy Williams sucks, that’s simply a fact. Doesn’t it insult and demean women to pretend otherwise, simply because she has breasts?


• You should agree with us, Ariana.

Is it possible we have overanalyzed this meme? Yes. Anything is possible.

But Grande received so much flak for it that she was forced to delete her post.

Rest in peace, Princess Di. We’re sorry you were dragged into all of this.

Selena Gomez on Niall Horan: He"s Amazing, But...

You can relax now, Justin Bieber. You can breathe a little easier.

Because we think you’re going to like what Selena Gomez has to say here.

Over the past week or so, the Internet has been on fire with talk that Gomez is dating One Direction hunk Niall Horan.

The case for this budding relationship rests on Selena and Niall allegedly making out during a party in Los Angeles.

And then Selena and Niall having a grand old time at an the Santa Monica Pier a short time later.

What does Gomez have to say about this romantic rumor? Is she singing certain sexy notes with Horan?

“Oh my god! No,” the 23-year-old singer told Entertainment Tonight at Billboard’s 10th Annual Women in Music event in New York City on Friday.

But why have the stars been hanging out so much then?

They are just good friends, Selena says.

“I love him, I always have. He’s amazing,” she explains.

Gomez continues to insist she’s single, even though she’s also been spending more time than ever with Bieber over the past several weeks.

She admitted to InStyle UK recently that dating for someone in her position can be a challenge.

“I hate it. It’s hard,” Gomez told the magazine. “I’m weirded out by the idea that a guy has Googled me before we meet, and that has happened.”

We can understand that.

It’s yet another reason why we predict Selena will end up back together with Bieber before all is said and done.
