Christina El Moussa: Spotted Filming Her Very Own Show!
Christina and Tarek El Moussa are over as a couple. But as reality television personalities, they’re just getting started.
This summer, we told you that Christina El Moussa is getting her own show in addition to the new season of Flip or Flop.
Now, she’s been spotted filming the new series, and we know a lot more about it.
The Daily Mail reports that On Wednesday, Christina El Moussa was spotted in Anaheim, California.
She was apparently all smiles.
The 35-year-old Flip or Flop star and mother of 2 was filming her new show.
Christina on the Coast will begin with 8 episodes.
This new series follows her as she expands her design business in Southern California.
Her goal is to totally transform more outdated properties into “high-end showplaces.” Nice!
Fans who are concerned that Christina’s new show will be all business needn’t worry.
Earlier this summer, Christina told The Hollywood Reporter that her family is going to play a role.
“Each episode is going to show a glimpse into a real life,” Christina assured fans.
That will include fans seeing her “selling my home in Yorba Linda, house-hunting and moving into my new place.”
“It is going to show me trying to balance it all with kids and work,” Christina says.
And, it is expected, fans will also see her real-life romance with boyfriend Ant Anstead.
Christina on the Coast will premiere in early 2019.
In a statement about the series, Christina set the stage by providing a little context.
“The past few years have brought a lot of change into my life,” Christina says.
“And,” she continues. “I am so excited to see what the next stage has in store for me both professionally and personally.”
“There is so much to look forward to,” Christina concludes. “And this is only the beginning.”
Christina and fans aren’t the only ones who are hyped for this new series.
HGTV and Food President Allison Page has also spoken about why this show makes so much sense.
“Christina’s design style is very popular,” Page says. “So it’s a natural progression for us to expand her visibility with a new series.”
“Her fans also are deeply vested in her personal life,” Page understates. “And eager to see what happens next.”
Fans are, in fact, deeply invested in the El Moussa family.
“So,” Page concludes. “We’re bringing them the opportunity to share in these real-life moments in a way that no one else can.”
Tarek El Moussa may be getting his own series, too.
Of course, Tarek and Christina are both sticking with Flip or Flop.
Despite the drama (Tarek had a gun and Christina feared that he would take his own life) that led to their breakup and ultimately their divorce, they’re working together.
For the fans, for the show, and of course, for the money.
(There’s nothing wrong with that, folks)
Romantically, however, they have both moved on.
Of course, their two children remain the centers of their world.
Fans don’t need their shows to know that — both Christina and Tarek make that abundantly clear on social media.
“Our kinda Sunday Funday,” Christina wrote beside a recent glimpse at a family bike ride. “Loving beach life.”
She added: “P.S. [Taylor] would be pissed if I didn’t do a disclaimer that she doesn’t need training wheels. This is an old bike.”
Christina concluded: “Don’t worry Tay mamas got your back.”

90 Day Fiance Fraud: Did Jon and Rachel Secretly Meet Before Filming?
We’ve only just met the 90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days Season 2 couples, but one couple is already stirring up some controversy.
Jon and Rachel seem like a simple romance with only a few complications. They’re even both age-appropriate for each other — all too rare on this show.
But … are they trying to pull the wool over the eyes of producers and viewers with a massive fraud?
For original recipe 90 Day Fiance, the premise is that the couple is spending time together in America for the first time — which means that they have a time limit.
90 Day Fiance: Before The 90 Days does not take place in America. Viewers often get to see the first time that a long-distance couple meets in person.
That is what they supposedly got with Jon Walters, who comes from Cornwall, England, and Rachel Bear, who comes from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
But a number of fan sleuths and conspiracy theorists suspect that Jon and Rachel may have secretly met before the show ever filmed.
They also believe that they were already engaged for a while.
The whole tagline on Jon and Rachel’s shared Instagram, @followourfairytale, is “Our first meeting will be on TLC’s #BeforeThe90Days.”
But, once upon a time, the two of them appear to have had a second Instagram account, titled @supportthefairytale.
That Instagram may not be around anymore, but it looks like they were using it to raise funds from people who supported their long-distance relationship.
Why does it look that way?
Well, because of this GoFundMe that they apparently used to raise funds.
Even if we somehow believed that this was just a GoFundMe set up by two lookalikes who happen to have the same names, we can’t accept that any other couple could take selfies as poorly as these two.
Their financial goal was apparently met, and they raked in $ 1,872.
These funds would presumably be used either for Rachel to fly out to visit Jon or for him to fly out to visit her.
That said, there is no official date, so they could have been raising money for fare for Rachel to fly out for the show.
But the GoFundMe isn’t all that has people wondering if these two met in person before filming ever began.
Then, there are little things — little pieces of phrasing.
The couple celebrated their anniversary on September 1, 2017.
Rachel and Jon wrote on Instagram: “Over a year together before we first met in the flesh.”
They wrote met, in the past tense. Maybe a typo, maybe just their eagerness talking … or maybe they let something slip.
Rachel also shared a photo of her standing with two passports on August 3, 2017.
That was months before filming began (as you may have noticed, they began filming with Rachel some time around the winter holiday season).
Some fans wondered if she was just preparing, or if she rushed to meet Jon before the cameras began rolling.
There’s also this line: “I want to kiss your lips, touch your skin and finally say ‘I do.’ I love you, Jon Walters. I’ll be there soon.”
This was months before filming began.
We know that Rachel and Jon are already married, and tied the knot even before this season began airing, so it’s believable that they had met and were engaged before they were ever on camera.
That said … maybe they were just eager and wanted to line up their money and passports in advance. And maybe they’re just that crazy about each other.

Cheyenne Floyd Begins Filming Teen Mom OG Amidst Castmate Protests
It’s official — Cheyenne Floyd is the latest mother to join the hallowed Teen Mom franchise.
And she’s the first to do so without actually being a teen mom!
Yes, Cheyenne gave birth to her first child last year at the age of 24.
And that’s just one of the reasons that her new co-stars aren’t exactly thrilled with the idea of sharing screen time with Cheyenne.
Amber Portwood and other cast members have reportedly been quite vocal in their complaints to producers.
Some apparently feel that the show doesn’t need a fifth cast member to replace Farrah Abraham, while others have taken issue with Cheyenne personally, arguing that she’s a bad fit for the series.
But whether Amber and company like it or not, producers have already taken steps toward introducing Cheyenne to the Teen Mom fan base:
“They started test shooting on Wednesday,” a source close to the show tells Radar Online.
But production insiders are careful to note that this is just a test run.
Cheyenne has not yet received a dime from the show, and she apparently won’t be paid until producers determine if she’ll be able to “fill the big hole” left by Farrah.
We assume the source proceeded to giggle for 20 minutes after mentioning Farrah and hole-filling in the same sentence.
“They haven’t been paid yet,” the source confirms.
“They have not signed a contract at this time.”
And if the rest of the moms get their way, Cheyenne never will sign a contract:
“Amber [Portwood] is pissed off about a new cast member,”
And apparently, she’s not alone:
“They’ve been doing Teen Mom for 10 years and don’t think they like the idea of someone who is a total newbie and has never even been on the show before coming on permanently,” says the insider
“They all just think it’s stupid that they’re bringing in people from outside the franchise instead of bringing the [Teen Mom OG] and [Teen Mom 2] casts together.”
Since combining two shows into one would likely mean all the payroll expenses and half the ratings, we can see why MTV wouldn’t be thrilled by that suggestion.
As for how Farrah feels about her replacement, she gave Radar a typically Farrah-esque response:
“I don’t watch the show anymore, as I’ve moved on,” she said.
“The show was done when I left.”
Thus far, Cheyenne has turned out to be such an unpopular choice that the moms might actually prefer to have Farrah back.
Does this mean the Backdoor Teen Mom won in the end?
Whatever the case, as you can see in the gallery below, Ms. Floyd is already proving to be a very controversial choice, and her days as a Teen Mom might come to an end before they really begin:

Jersey Shore Halts Filming In Vegas Due to Ronnie Magro-Jen Harley Drama
Oh, that Rahn. Will he ever stahp?
That’s likely the question on the mind of Ronnie Ortiz-Magro’s castmates today, as the Jersey Shore crew was forced to stop filming ahead of schedule due to ongoing drama between Ronnie and his baby mama, Jen Harley.
Until yesterday, the cast was in Las Vegas filming a second season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation.
The title isn’t terribly apt in Magro’s case, as Vegas is his home turf these days.
So it was a bad choice of locale for reasons that go beyond the irony of filming a show with “Shore” in the title in the middle of a landlocked state.
You see, if you’ve been watching the current season of JSFV, you know that Ron and Jen’s relationship isn’t the greatest.
During his time in South Beach, Ronnie cheated on Jen with a French woman who was unimaginatively dubbed “French Fry.”
But that was only the beginning of their problems.
Shortly after that episode aired, Ronnie accused Jen of cheating on him, in a wild Instagram rant in which he also called her a “c-m dumpster.”
In the weeks since, Harley and Ortiz-Magro broke up and got back together several times, so it should’ve come as no surprise to Shore producers when their relationship drama dominated the first few days of filming in Vegas.
Maybe that was the plan. Maybe the plan backfired.
Whatever the case, the plan was scrapped when — to use the parlance of Shore’s current season — Ron spiraled and quickly spun out of control.
Last week, Magro got in a fight with another guest at a Vegas hotel.
Just days later, MTV pulled the plug on filming in Vegas and sent the cast back to the Garden State.
“They cannot wait to get the hell out of the desert and be away from everything surrounding Ronnie and Jen,” a source close to production tells Radar Online.
The situation had apparently gotten so bad that the cast was considering holding an intervention in response to Ron’s self-destructive behavior.
“They are all adults now, and they cannot watch Ronnie destroy his life anymore,” says the insider.
Hey, the guy’s been fun to watch this season, but he’s a 32-year-old dad now.
Maybe he should cool it on the Ron-Ron juice for a bit.
Kailyn Lowry: My Kids are DONE Filming Teen Mom 2!
If you"ve been watching Teen Mom 2, you know that things have gotten especially dramatic this season.
Well, things have always been dramatic, but as Kailyn Lowry said in a recent episode, there"s been more of a Jerry Springer flavor of drama lately.
Maybe it"s all the feuding between the cast members, maybe it was the huge mess that was last season"s reunion, maybe … no, it"s pretty much definitely those first two things.
But the point is that things are different now.
And that"s why Kailyn"s made some big decisions about her family"s place on the show going forward.
1. Kailyn and Sons
This is Kailyn and her three sons — Lincoln on the left, who she shares with Javi Marroquin, Isaac on the right, who she shares with Jo Rivera, and then sweet little baby Lux in the middle, who she shares with Chris Lopez. And honestly, just LOOK HOW CUTE.
2. Awww!
We wanted you to start off with a dose of cuteness, because things are going to get real ugly, real quick.
3. Drama Drama Drama
So in this season of Teen Mom 2, Kailyn’s unfortunately had to deal with a whole, whole lot of drama — and we’re just a few episodes in!
4. Drama from Briana
As you probably know, most of the issues so far have stemmed from Briana DeJesus and her relationship with Javi, which no one really handled all that well.
5. Too Much
Javi made the mistake of not being 100% honest with Kailyn about the relationship and especially about their trip to Disneyworld (the one where Javi brought two of Kail’s kids), and then Kailyn had that fundamental belief that Briana shouldn’t have gotten with him in the first place, since it violated the sacred girl code.
6. So Much Fighting
Then, once Briana and Javi’s relationship picked up, they all took turns being petty about it.

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro Gets In Fight on SECOND DAY of Jersey Shore Filming!
If you’re currently a guest of The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas, you may have heard anguished cries of “Rahn, stahp!” this afternoon, as a security team struggled to do what Sammi Sweetheart never could — subdue the beast known as Agro Magro.
Yes, as you may have heard a second season of Jersey Shore Family Vacation is currently filming in Las Vegas, and things got off to a dramatic start for Ronnie.
According to TMZ, Ron attempted to fight a civilian while lounging poolside with his fellow guidos today.
No word on yet on whether alcohol was a factor, but it absolutely, definitely was.
Hilariously, the other combatant kept shouting phrases like “I got that Gucci bag, what’s up?” and repeating the word “hustlin’,” which makes this the single most obnoxious event to ever take place anywhere.
It’s not currently known what caused the incident, but we’re gonna go out on a limb and guess that the combination of Ron-Ron juice and human growth hormone factored in.
Of course, if you’ve been watching the first season of Family Vacation, or even just keeping up with the cast out of morbid curiosity, then this sort of behavior probably won’t come as much of a surprise.
Ronnie has gone from supporting character to primary source of drama, primarily because of his constant fights with Jen Harley, the mother of his infant daughter.
On the show, we see Ronnie cheat on Jen with a French club-goer dubbed “French Fry.”
(The guidos’ nickname game isn’t terribly on point this season.)
On social media, we watch in horror as Ron refers to the mother of his child as a “c-m dumpster.”
Ron has been flying off the handle on a routine basis for years now, but lately, he’s either stepped up his game or lowered the bar, depending on whom you ask.
Sure, without his antics, JSFV would be an exceedingly boring affair with moments like Vinny’s haircut crisis providing the bulk of the dramatic tension.
But on the other hand … did we mention Ron called his ex a c-m dumpster on social media?
Like, we don’t expect the height of decorum from these people, but we also don’t want to see them get less mature and more gross with age.
But hey, maybe the Gucci guy deserved an ass-whupping today.
Based on what little we know about him, that seems very, very plausible.
But Ron’s a father now, so going forward, maybe he should let someone else deliver the beat-downs.
Watch Jersey Shore online to remind yourself of just how bonkers Ron has been this season.

Jenelle Evans Isn"t Filming Teen Mom 2; Is She Fired Yet?
David Eason was fired from Teen Mom 2 after, entirely of his own accord, he launched into a very public, bigoted rant against the LGBT+ community.
Jenelle"s response has been nothing if not puzzling. She"s even gone so far as to say that she should have been fired before David.
It"s very weird, and there have been a number of signs that have led fans to believe that she and MTV are going their separate ways.
Sources tell RadarOnline that Jenelle won"t be filming again any time soon, and that she also hasn"t filmed for a while.
But is Jenelle actually fired?
Costar Briana DeJesus is weighing in. Remember, folks — Briana is an actual friend of Jenelle"s.
And she has a lot to say about the whole situation.
Briana also teases that, given everything that"s been going on, this reunion will be bonkers. As in, even more explosive and meltdown-laden than usual. Which is saying something.
So … is Jenelle fired or what?
1. The story begins with a Twitter rant
David Eason went on a massive anti-gay, anti-trans rant, and was promptly fired from MTV’s Teen Mom 2. But where does that leave his wife, Jenelle?
2. She’s in career limbo
Reportedly, Jenelle has not filmed for Teen Mom 2 since February.
3. And it looks like things are going to stay that way for a while
According to Radar’s source, “There are no plans to film with Jenelle for at least six weeks.”
4. And it doesn’t sound like there are concrete plans to put Jenelle back on camera.
“There is no filming schedule with her right now,” the source reveals.
5. It sounds like Jenelle’s gambling her career for David … and losing
“Jenelle has been trying to get MTV to hire David back, as well as making outrageous money demands,” the source divulges. “And they’re not backing down.”
6. You know what else is reportedly an issue?
Jenelle keeps uploading home videos, and she’s trying to push her YouTube channel. She’s trying to prove that she doesn’t need MTV, and they are not amused.

Catelynn Lowell: Filming Rehab Stay for Teen Mom OG?!
It’s been a rough few months for Catelynn Lowell.
And that’s putting it lightly.
Back in November, she revealed that she’d been suffering from suicidal thoughts — she said that things were so bad that she’d been thinking of specific ways to kill herself.
With the support of her husband, Tyler Baltierra, she checked into a rehab center in Arizona, the same one she visited in March of 2016 to get help with her postpartum depression.
At one point, she decided to check out early so that she wouldn’t miss Christmas with her daughter, but she quickly realized that that wasn’t the best idea.
She returned and completed her treatment, then came home just after the holidays.
We heard a lot of nice things from Cate, about how she was happy and thankful for her family, sweet things like that.
But earlier this week, she shocked us once again when she tweeted that she’d be heading back to rehab for the third time.
“Well they say third times a charm…” she wrote. “I’m going back to treatment people for 6 weeks to work on my trauma and getting on different meds.”
She thanked Tyler for his support and told him that she loved him, and that was that.
Well, almost — she also composed a tweet to her “haters.”
“YOU DONT KNOW EVERYTHING IVE BEEN THROUGH!” she wrote. “Quit acting like you know what I should be doing or shouldnt!!”
“I’m NOT running away from my family! Those are the poeple I love the most!! You ppl are ignorant.”
She’s referring to the reaction she got after announcing her latest trip to rehab — it wasn’t as positive as it was the last time around.
Many people couldn’t understand why she’d need to go back just a couple of weeks after leaving, why she wouldn’t just focus on the aftercare she’d talked about before.
People also didn’t understand why she felt the need to go all the way to Arizona instead of finding a treatment center closer to home.
Additionally, why would she go back to a place that obviously hasn’t been helping her in the way she needs?
It’s all very complicated, that’s for sure, but it looks like we’re getting answers to at least some of those questions.
According to an insider who spoke with The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, “MTV pays for her to go to the treatment facility every single time under the agreement that we are allowed to film her while she’s there as much as we want.”
And there it is.
The crew was reportedly there for her last stay in rehab, and they’re there this time, too — we know that much, because one of her producers tweeted about traveling to Arizona with her.
The Ashley’s source, who seems to be a crew member himself, added that the treatment center costs $ 50,000 for each stay, “so yeah, they’re gonna get their footage.”
So in the past three months, they’ve paid $ 100,000 for her treatment?!
It’s no wonder why this source claimed that we’re going to see plenty of footage of Catelynn at rehab later this season.
The source also said “From what we’re heard, and I can’t be 100 percent sure, they keep going back because the treatment center works with MTV, and will let them film there.”
“That’s why Leah Messer went there too to treat her anxiety issues. It’s no coincidence. But MTV still has to pay.”
Honestly, this is pretty upsetting news.
If you look back at all the instances of televised therapy on reality shows, you’ll see that it never really works.
How is Catelynn going to open up about her childhood trauma with cameras in her face? How could she possibly get the kind of help she needs like that?
It sounds like some of the crew members have their reservations about the whole thing too — the MTV insider said that “not everyone is happy about it.”
“Some of us feel Catelynn needs to be there long-term, without anyone from the show filming or interacting with her. Not everyone felt it was right, but it is what it is.”
Sadly, that’s true. If Cate still feels like she needs help, why wouldn’t she let MTV foot that massive bill for it?
Still, it really just does not sound like a great sign …

Eliza Dushku: I Was Molested While Filming True Lies When I Was 12 Years Old
Yet another celebrity has come forward with a story of sexual abuse she suffered while working in the entertainment industry.
How tragic is it that we’re no longer shocked by stories like these?
For the past several months now, people have been speaking out against their abusers — there have been so many horrific stories revealed that we’ve lost count.
Which, honestly, is a tragedy all on its own.
But this weekend, we’re hearing a new story, one that is particularly hard to hear.
Because in this story, the victim was only 12 years old at the time of the abuse.
Eliza Dushku, an actress best known for her roles in TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Dollhouse, shared a lengthy post to her Facebook account on Saturday morning.
“When I was 12 years old,” she wrote, “while filming True Lies, I was sexually molested by Joel Kramer, one of Hollywood’s leading stunt coordinators.”
She said that since then, she’s told her parents, one of her brothers, and two friends, but she hasn’t felt comfortable to share her story publicly.
Until now, that is.
“I remember, so clearly 25 years later, how Joel Kramer made me feel special,” Eliza wrote, “how he methodically built my and my parents’ trust, for months grooming me; exactly how he lured me to his Miami hotel room with a promise to my parent that he would take me for a swim at the stunt crew’s hotel pool and for my first sushi meal thereafter.”
“I remember vividly how he methodically drew the shades and turned down the lights; how he cranked up the air-conditioning to what felt like freezing levels, where exactly he placed me on one of the two hotel room beds, what movie he put on the television (Coneheads); how he disappeared in the bathroom and emerged, naked, bearing nothing but a small hand towel held flimsy at his mid-section.”
She recounted “how he laid me down on the bed, wrapped me with his gigantic writhing body, and rubbed all over me.”
“He spoke these words: ‘You’re not going to sleep on me now sweetie, stop pretending you’re sleeping,’ as he rubbed harder and faster against my catatonic body.”
She added that “When he was ‘finished,’ he suggested ‘I think we should be careful…,’ [about telling anyone] he meant. I was 12, he was 36.”
After that, she said that he took her home in a taxi — he sat in the backseat and put her on his lap.
When they went back to work on the film, she said that he became cold towards her, and that soon after the horrible incident she described, she confided in an adult what had happened.
The friend confronted Kramer, and Eliza wrote that “later that very same day, by no small coincidence, I was injured from a stunt-gone-wrong on the Harrier jet. With broken ribs, I spent the evening in the hospital.”
“To be clear, over the course of those months rehearsing and filming True Lies, it was Joel Kramer who was responsible for my safety on a film that at the time broke new ground for action films.”
She explained how throughout the filming of the movie, her life was “literally in his hands,” as he hung her from a harness 25 stories high.
As for why she’s speaking out now?
She’d been under the impression that Kramer was no longer working in the industry, but she said that she recently found out that was false, and she came across a photo of him hugging a young girl.
“Hollywood has been very good to me in many ways,” she acknowledged. “Nevertheless, Hollywood also failed to protect me, a child actress.”
“I like to think of myself as a tough Boston chick, in many ways I suppose not unlike Faith, Missy, or Echo. Through the years, brave fans have regularly shared with me how some of my characters have given them the conviction to stand up to their abusers.”
“Now it is you who give me strength and conviction,” she said. “I hope that speaking out will help other victims and protect against future abuse.”
It really is just a horrific story — and, not surprisingly, Kramer has already denied it all.
In a statement to Variety, he called Eliza’s story “outright hyperbole and lies,” and he insisted that it was “absolutely not true.”
But the woman who acted as Eliza’s legal guardian on the set of True Lies, Sue Booth-Forbes, confirmed Eliza’s version of events, saying that she even reported Kramer’s behavior “to a person in authority” back then.
“I was met with blank stares and had the sense that I wasn’t telling that person anything they didn’t already know,” she recounted.
We’re proud of Eliza for sharing her story, and here’s hoping that she feels at least a little bit better for doing so.
