The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 14 Recap: Dating Wishes

Ever wanted to watch two women go at it for the same man? 

If so, then The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 14 was the episode you’ve been waiting for.

Bethenny Frankel and Ramona Singer have never been close friends. In all honesty, it would not be a standard episode of the series if there was not some shade throwing from either party. 

As such, it was only natural the pair would find the same man attractive at a speed dating event. 

But the man starts things off by buying Ramona a drink. That’s generally a low-key way of telling somebody you’re into them without being left red-faced. 

The man introduced himself as Ryan before engaging in conversation with Bethenny, much to the chagrin of Ramona who was already planning the wedding … and the divorce to see if it benefited her financially. 

We kid, mostly. 

“I think you’re super cool,” Ryan said to Bethenny. “I think you’re awesome.”

Yeah, we’re sure anyone would find Bethenny awesome, because, well, she’s a bit of a loose cannon and it’s best to keep in her good books, or you could find yourself ousted from every top bar in NYC. 

“Thank you. Aww, that’s super nice,” the veteran cast member said in response before hugging him.

“‘Thank you, that was very sweet. I think the same thing about you, I think it took balls to come here, I really do. I appreciate it,” Bethenny continued as she acted smitten with him. 

“It was a little romantic, walking in and being like, “Oh my God…”‘ said Bethenny of her thoughts on Ryan. 

The thing that confirmed Bethenny was really interested was that she uttered the following after some more chatter:

“I’m always 100 percent honest with everyone,” she said to him. “Doesn’t mean it’s not going to hurt somebody else, but I’m single – I’m completely single.”

Not one to take Bethenny getting the man as defeat, Ramona hit up the bar to get Ryan a drink in return for him getting her one. 

“I don’t really care who he likes,” Ramon barked at someone who said Bethenny was getting close to Ryan. “He brought me a drink, so I want to bring him a drink.”

“Since you were kind enough to bring me a drink, I thought I’d bring you a drink,” Ramona said to Ryan as she handed over the drink, making sure to grin at Bethenny. 

Poor Carole Radziwill did not get to meet the man because Bethenny and Ramona were all over him. 

“I didn’t get to meet the guy Rory wanted me to meet because he was being devoured by Ramona and Bethenny,” she said in a confessional. 

Sucks to be you, Carole. 

Elsewhere in the episode, Sonja Morgan wanted to get back on the market. No, we’re not talking about her townhouse that is busier with people partying than some of NYC’s hottest nightclubs. 

We’re talking about her wanting to start dating again. As hilarious as that sounds, it made for some fun scenes as she and Bethenny worked on her dating profile. 

It turns out, Sonja is somewhat high maintenance and wants to find a man who can keep up with that. 

The ladies were also preparing for Luann’s cabaret, and they were all over the place. They did not like being directed, it seemed, and that was problematic. 

This event is not going to go without a hitch, and that’s going to make for another fun episode, we guess. 

The Real Housewives of New York continues Wednesday on Bravo.

Gina Kirschenheiter: Getting Divorced Because She"s a Real Housewife!

After 13 years of marriage, former Real Housewife Alexis Bellino is getting divorced. So is current Real Housewife Shannon Beador. And they’re not alone.

Gina Kirschenheiter is a new addition to The Real Housewives of Orange County. Her season doesn’t even begin for another week.

But there’s already drama — she’s getting a divorce. In fact, these two separated while filming this upcoming season.

Back in March, we told you that the new cast for The Real Housewives of Orange County was revealed. But that wasn’t all that happened back in March.

Gina Kirschenheiter, who was already filming for the show at the time, separated from her husband Matthew.

Then, on April 2, the couple filed for divorce — citing irreconcilable differences.

Gina is asking for sole physical custody of the couple’s three children, but joint legal custody.

Gina and Matthew have been married for just about 8 years.

The couple’s three children are Nicholas, 5, Sienna, 4, and Luca, 2.

According to RadarOnline, Gina also made a request regarding support payments in the divorce filing.

Gina has apparently asked that the court terminate Matthew’s spousal support.

She has asked instead for domestic partner support.

Gina is also asking that Matthew pay all of her legal fees during this divorce.

Speaking to Us Weekly, Gina Kirschenheiter released a statement on her divorce.

“After careful consideration and deep thought,” her statement begins. “We have decided to end our legal marriage.”

“With that said,” the statement continues. “We will never end our friendship and will forever remain family.”

“We are dedicated to raising our children together in a happy, healthy loving environment,” Kirschenheiter says.

That’s good. The children should always come first, but that doesn’t always mean staying together for them.

“We will be navigating this difficult process with respect and grace for one another,” the statement promises.

So many couples say things like this at the beginning.

Unfortunately, sometimes, divorces go from amicable to acrimonious faster than either party would have imagined.

“We kindly ask for others to treat us with this same respect and grace,” the statement concludes. “As we move through this family adjustment.”

Of course.

Gina also dished on exactly how the two split apart. It turns out that Matthew’s job played a role … but so did filming The Real Housewives of Orange County.

“I think I did see it as an opportunity that would be good for us,” Gina says. “’Cause we’re buddies, we’re friends, we’re just going to navigate this together.”

That doesn’t always work out, however.

“And then when he couldn’t film, and he’s also away a lot,” Gina says. “I think that it probably did have more of a negative effect on our relationship and made things harder.”

“Now i’m basically going on this venture,” Gina says, referring to the Bravo series. “And he’s not included and involved in it, and it creates even more distance than is already there.”

Well, here’s a tip for a lasting marriage, folks: don’t be part of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Teen Mom 2: Who"s the Real MVP of This Season ... and Franchise!?

It is about to be totally on between the Teen Mom 2 cast members, THG Nation. No, there"s no new scandal you missed.

There was no fresh shade thwon between Kailyn Lowry, Jenelle Evans, Briana DeJesus, Chelsea Houska or Leah Messer.

But there is a debate to be had.

Over the past several months, we"ve been exposed to one explosive fight after another; one allegation of child abuse after …

… actually, there"s been just one allegation of child abuse so far, but that"s a story for another time (and another time, and another).

Bottom line: the prominence of Teen Mom 2 news and gossip has forced us to think about this MTV show more than ever.

With many arguments breaking out within THG Headquarters, our staff has decided to come together below to settle this:

WHO IS THE MVP OF TEEN MOM 2? Below, we make the case for Kail, Jenelle, Briana, Chelsea and Leah …

1. Kailyn Lowry: The Resilient Success Story.

As with any Teen Mom 2 star, Kailyn has had her ups and downs. She became a mother at 17 years old while appearing on the second season of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant. First, fans watched Kail grapple with a lack of support from her family. Being pregnant as teenager is hard enough without having rely upon your baby daddy’s family.

2. Unlucky in Love

Then, on Teen Mom 2, fans have gotten to watch this unlucky-in-love mother struggle with romance, additional pregnancies, and with co-parenting. Once you dig through the ins and outs with Javi Marroquin, the sometimes frightening drama with Chris Lopez, and all of the frustrations of being a reality star, she’s a mom.

3. She’s Their Whole World

To Isaac, Lincoln, and baby Lux, Kailyn is their whole world. And though her taste in men leaves much to be desired, she is a much, much better parent than some of her co-stars. She seems to have mastered co-parenting as much as anyone in her situation possibly could, juggling holiday events with baby daddies and even their extended families.

4. Kail Does Not Mince Words

On top of everything else, Kail is not afraid to be open and honest with her fans on social media, whether it’s about her bisexuality or her careful decisions regarding plastic surgeries.

5. Hustle and Heart

She’s taken plenty of flak for having three kids with three different guys, but Lowry’s not looking for handouts. She recently graduated from Delaware State and is always hustling – whether it’s promoting products, her own books and podcast, or embarking in other business ventures.

6. Never a Dull Moment

It doesn’t hurt that she’s very entertaining. Just saying. – Simon Delott

The Real Housewives of Dallas Trailer: "My Weave is Exhausted!"

Most legendary Real Housewives line of all-time?

Take one look at the Real Housewives of Dallas Season 3 trailer above and you"ll agree that LeeAnne Locken may now lay claim to the owner of that distinction.

Along with Cary Deuber, Stephanie Hollman, Brandi Redmond, D"Andra Simmons and Kameron Westcott, Locken will return on August 15 with new episodes of this Bravo franchise.

And she"s the one who has us totally psyched for what"s to come, based on the following quote…

I"m exhausted! My weave is exhausted; the panty-liner on my underwear is exhausted.

It"s not made clear just to whom LeeAnne is speaking, but does it really matter?

LeeAnne will be focused on changing her dramatic ways on Season 3, using mediation to do so, but we don"t get the feeling this will work very well for her.

Not based on what we see in this preview.

She"ll come close to getting into an actual fight with D"Andra, while she"ll find her relationship questioned because she and fiancee Rich continue to NOT set a wedding date.

Elsewhere on Season 3:

– Brandi will adopt a baby boy.

– Cary will return to work.

– D"Andra and her mother will continue their power struggle over the family business.

– Kameron will grow concerns about her social status when D"Andra and Brandi form a tight friendship.

– There will be naked people in the water:

Look for the cast to head to Copenhagen at one point and for Westcott to go off at one point, telling a fellow Housewife:

“You’re absolutely disgusting."

To whom is this screamed?

The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 13 Recap: Arrest and Relaxation

The feud between Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps continued on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 13, and if it proved anything, it was that these two are never going to be able to get on with each other. 

The latest argument between the pair stemmed from Ramona sharing an Instagram picture of the housewives. No, we’re not kidding. 

“The she-devil strikes again,” de Lesseps said.

Watch The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 Episode 13 Online

“I really feel like Ramona invaded my privacy by putting a picture out of me when nobody knew where I was. And now the whole world knows I’m out of rehab.”

In Luann’s defense, this was in the aftermath of her getting home from her 21-day stint in rehab, so she did not want anyone knowing her whereabouts. 

“I have a court case coming up,” Luann continued. “I don’t need more press! I don’t need pictures of me and the press making guesses at what I’m up to.”

This is the picture Ramona shared:

“My return to New York is supposed to be on my terms,” she explained to viewers. “I just feel like I got the rug pulled out of me.”

“You put a picture up, and now Luann is the talk of the town again,” Luann said to Ramona at dinner. 

“It’s inevitable that I will be in the press again, I just don’t want my friends to drive it. You opened up a can of worms for me.”

“These are hurtful things. You’re hurting me,” de Lesseps added. “You have to be more respectful and thoughtful about your friends.”

“We also post group shots! It’s a beautiful picture,” Ramona said.

“You didn’t tell me not to post. … I’m sorry.”

It’s surprising because Ramona is generally outspoken and does not care what people think, but it seemed like Luann genuinely hit a nerve. 

“I’m disappointed in myself,” Singer said. “I wasn’t thinking. Now I understand. … I made a huge mistake. This was bad. What I did was bad.”

But that was not enough to let Singer out of the dog house. Luann was still not impressed at the way Ramona went behind her back to speak to Tom. 

“There are so many guys on the Upper East Side. Really?” de Lesseps confessed to viewers.

“You have to go and have drinks with Tom? I knew Ramona wasn’t the brightest tool in the shed, but what an idiot.”

“It’s not cool,” Luann yelled at Singer.

“If you’re my friend, it’s not cool. What you did, most people would never talk to you again. That is the lowest of the low. Do you realize that? What you did is the lowest of the low.”

Singer was not ready to accept defeat on that one. Instead, she opted to defend herself by saying that she was merely having drinks at the bar with friends. 

“Just because Luann divorced Tom doesn’t mean he’s going to disappear. He travels with the same circle as I do, he has the same friends as I do,” Singer explained.

“Listen, if I couldn’t talk with every man Luann ended up being with, I wouldn’t be talking to any men in New York City!”

You make it worse,” Luann said as she stormed off. “You don’t have my best interest at heart, and I can’t be around that.”

It took a lot, but Ramona finally decided that she would try to be a better person. 

“She’s nervous. Nobody wants to go before the judge and find out what their sentencing is. I should have been more sensitive to that. I’ll take the bullet,” Singer said.

“I should have said, ‘I understand what you’re saying, and I’m sorry,’ ” Singer added.

“I have this problem. When people start attacking me — even though they’re right to attack me, I’m not saying they’re wrong — I get defensive and go, ‘Fine, goodbye.’ It’s very immature.”

“I showed bad judgement. And worse is that I hurt you,” she said. “I hope you forgive me.”

Elsewhere, Bethenny Frankel found herself at odds with Tinsley. Bethenny wanted to know why Tinsley was shopping for wedding dresses. 

Tinsley was adamant she was not engaged, but Bethenny seemed to want to reiterate that the whole situation was weird. 

It was awkward, but it became an even bigger fight when Dorinda starts saying that Sonja is in no way a Morgan and that she has no right to call herself by that name. 

What followed was Dorinda apologizing for it. It took some time, but she actually did it. 

This was an odd episode of the series, but it was filled with drama. 

What did you think of it?

Lamar Odom: Here"s the REAL REASON Khloe Kardashian Divorced Me!

With all the recent talk of Tristan Thompson cheating on Khloe Kardashian, it’s easy to forget that this isn’t the first time Khloe has chosen poorly while drafting from the ranks of the NBA.

Yes, before she was mother to baby True, Khloe was Mrs. Lamar Odom.

And if you’ll recall that relationship wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows, either.

Lamar was also unfaithful to Khloe, but the consensus has always been that what really drove the couple apart was Odom’s drug use.

His substance abuse was so severe that it eventually left Lamar comatose and fighting for his life in a Los Angeles hospital.

Khloe stood by his side as he recovered, which is futher evidence that she never stopped loving Lamar, but was forced to end their marriage simply because she couldn’t stand by and watch him destroy himself.

Or at least that’s what the Kris Jenner publicity machine has led us to believe!

Lamar has a memoir coming out next month, and today, the former NBA star spoke with US Weekly about the book:

“I”m very excited to work with BenBella Books, Inc. to release my very first book,” Odom said.

“My fans have always been the best and I really wanted to release this book to give you all a chance to get to know Lamar Odom and my real story, directly from me.”

He added:

“I hope to [be] an inspiration to many that you can overcome adversity and challenge no matter where you fall from.”

Pretty generic, boilerplate stuff, to be sure.

Lamar probably had a PR rep feeding him lines through an earpiece for that part of the interview.

Later on, however, things got mildly interesting:

According to Us, Lamar stated that the book would reveal “what led to the end” of his marriage to Khloe.

Normally, we’d say he’s just trying to move some units, but we all know the public version of the Kardashians’ personal lives is never the real story.

Maybe Lamar really does have some bombshell news that will make him seem like the sympathetic party here.

Of course, if he’s planning on engaging in any Khloe-bashing, his timing couldn’t be worse.

Generally, people aren’t fond of ganging up on new moms who just got cheated on by their partners.

Real Housewives of New York City Trailer: The Boat Trip from Hell!

The Real Housewives of New York City are about to take a trip.

And they may never be the same.

Bravo has released a trailer for upcoming episodes of this franchise"s current season, with much of the footage focusing on much-anticipated and discussed boat trip in Colombia …

… and it looks and sounds truly insane.

Among the soundbites revealed in this preview:

Why is there a siren?

Where the f—k are the life jackets?

Get on the floor!

There are also quite a few tears shed, as teased here:

What the heck transpired on this so-called vacation?

Said Ramona Singer to Us Weekly in March:

"We hit extremely turbulent waters and we were freaking out. When you’re in turbulent waters and the boat’s really rocking … I was scared.

"I can’t swim so I was scared shitless, to tell you the truth."

It looks very much as if she wasn"t alone.

Added an insider to this same tabloid:

"The whole cast was wet and terrified for their lives.

"Everyone felt very close to each other after going through that and anything people had been fighting about no longer mattered. All the women called loved ones when they got back to shore."

Of course, this trailer doesn"t JUST preview the boat trip.

We get plenty of the usual drama from Singer, Bethenny Frankel, Carole Radziwill, Sonja Morgan, Tinsley Mortimer, Dorinda Medley and Luann de Lesseps.

The women laugh it up… they fight… they dance… they scream with joy and also in horror.

Bethenny goes at it with Carole; Sonja hurls shade at Ramona; Luann doing her best Sofia Vergara impression; and Dorinda even takes on Luann.

Over what?

Over the latter"s arrest, of course.

“Don’t you dare talk to me like that. An ex con? You drink some more and get arrested again,” r says, pushing a drink Luann"s direction. “Get married again. You’re awful.”

She later also tells Luann:

“I stood for you for everything. I almost got arrested for you."

Fun and dramatic times!

The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9/8c.

Khloe Kardashian Breaks Silence (For Real!) on Tristan Thompson Cheating Scandal

Khloe Kardashian has broken her silence on Tristan Thompson.

For real this time.

We mean it.

We’re not just talking about some vague and mysterious quote on Instagram that may or may not have been some kind of reference to Thompson having slept with many other women while Khloe was pregnant.

No.

We’re talking about the first direct reference to her dishonest baby daddy that we can recall Khloe making since she became a mother.

And this is what brought it on:

On Monday afternoon, a Twitter user named Queen Persia wrote the following:

“I love, adore & root for @khloekardashian but I’m so disappointed she stayed with that wasteman Tristan.

“She preaches about women knowing their self worth and when to walk away but when it’s time to walk the walk, she’s a hypocrite.”

This is now really all that unfair of a take, but it prompted quite the response from Kardashian.

“Not exactly Queen Persia,” she wrote, prior to making two things clear:

1. She is still with Thompson.


2. She does not consider this to be a sign of weakness.

Continued Khloe in this reply;

“You have no knowledge of what goes on in our household or the enormous rebuilding this takes to even coexist. I’m proud of my strength.

“I appreciate your opinion and I hope you hold that same opinion to everyone else who has stayed in situations.”

Again, as far as we can recall, this is by far the most Khloe has ever said about this sad situation.

It started in mid-April, once surveillance footage surfaced from multiple establishments that appeared to depict Thompson cozying up to various women during Kardashian’s pregnancy.

He’s never denied talk that he cheated several times on his girlfriend… and there’s been plenty of talk about it.

The unfortunate news broke two days before Khloe gave birth to the couple’s daughter, True Thompson.

And, ever since, neither Khloe nor Tristan has really said anything about the scandal.

Of late, however, there have been a myriad of signs that the couple never really broke up.

They’ve been spotted on lunch dates and, just recently, Khloe herself shared footage of the stars working out together,

Moreover, Thompson posted his very first pic of True late last week.

It doesn’t seem to matter what her family members think or what Thompson did with a number of side pieces in the past, Khloe is obviously dead set on making this romance work.

She’s “staying in” the “situation,” right? By her own admission above.

Pretty revealing, huh?

In response to Khloe’s response to her original Tweet, Queen Persia went ahead and wrote the following:

“I’m not trying to judge you, bc I do adore you girl. your a role model to millions of girls, I get that you’re trying to figure shit out & tbh, your fans are protective of you.

“we just don’t want some lame breaking your heart again. that’s it.”

Kardashian seemed to come around and appreciate this take, ending the exchange as follows:

“I love you for that and girl trust me don’t I understand!!! I appreciate you. I do!!”

So there you have it. Khloe and Tristan are together and they show no signs of this changing.

Should Kardashian be prasied or mocked for this decision?

The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 12 Recap: Every Mayflower Has Its Thorn

Ramona Singer was up to her old tricks on The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 12 and proved that she has absolutely no loyalty to any of the ladies. 

It all started when Luann de Lesseps learned that Ramona was trying to get a meeting with her ex-husband, Tom D’Agostino at his New Year’s Eve party. It especially hurt Luann because the event was being held in the same venue she and Tom threw their wedding rehearsal dinner a year before. 

Oh yes, it all linked back to the failed marriage between both de Lesseps and D’Agostino. It was one of those moments on reality TV that viewers probably rolled their eyes at because, well, Tom was a snake. 

He was meeting other women, and Luann was so blinded by love that she was willing to throw some of her oldest friends out with the trash to mingle with the New York rats. 

“I heard through the grapevine that Ramona was calling Tom to try to invited to the party that was on the boat our rehearsal dinner was on,” de Lesseps said during the episode.

“How low was that? What is that all about?”

Luann went on to say that it was more hurtful because she was in rehab following her arrest, and her supposed friend was going around acting like she didn’t exist. 

“Here I am in rehab … I mean, what’s wrong with her?” de Lesseps added. “It’s mind-blowing that she would even consider something like that and call herself my friend?”

Luann has long been the voice of reason among the housewives, but as far as Tom is concerned, her vision was clouded by love. When it comes to picking and choosing her friends, she is generally strict. 

“It’s very uncool…,” de Lesseps said. “She’s texting me at the same time, ‘I’m here to support you, I hope everything’s okay.’ … It’s shocking even for Ramona! … Is she really that dumb? … What a traitor.”

In true Ramona fashion, she pleaded that she was innocent and even said there was no reason for her to apologize. Yes, really. 

“I do not want to hurt Luann, but I did nothing wrong in my opinion,” Singer shared with audiences.

“Tom never did anything to me, I saw him exactly for what he is and was, and I accept him.”

“What is Luann so upset about? She started dating Tom behind my back. She knew I was dating him and never shared that fact,” Singer continued. This is in reference to Singer dating Tom once upon a time. 

In Ramona’s defense, she could have thought Tom was fair game. 

The other housewives were Team Luann on this one, and they had a lot to say about it. 

“What kind of a—— woman would want to go to Tom’s New Year’s Eve party? That’s what you call a real slob kabob,” yelled Dorinda Medley upon hearing the news.

“That’s bad. This is worse than bad. … The New Year’s Eve thing is f—– up,” Bethenny Frankel said. “If I did that, it would be like I murdered somebody. … I’d kill her.”

“We’re friends, but still, I’m there for [Luann],” Sonja Morgan said. “Your loyalty is to Luann.”

“How would you feel if you were me?” de Lesseps ultimately asked. “‘Hey, what are you doing for New Year’s Eve? Last year you got married on that boat. On that day … ”

The addition of the other women helped Sonja realize there was something sketchy about the whole thing. 

“You know what, it was a bad call. It was a bad call,” Singer later said after thinking about things. “And I shouldn’t have done it. Just because my girlfriend wanted me to do it, I shouldn’t have done it because of her.”

“Listen, I’m not perfect,” she continued on her apology tour. “And I never said I am. It’s all about recognizing when you make a mistake. I know it sounds silly, but if it were [your boyfriends], I never would have texted. Something about Tom … it was like a little blip. They were together six months, a year, and this girl was pressuring me. [Her arrest], that had nothing to do with Tom.”

“I was reflecting on that because I could be completely upset with Ramona, but I actually feel sorry for her,” de Lesseps later said to Dorinda. “It’s kind of pathetic what she did. Do you see remorse there? Because I didn’t see remorse.”

Yeah, this looks like the beginning of a new feud, and there are going to be some big issues going ahead. 

What did you think of all the action?

James Van Der Beek Keeps It "Real" with Home Birth Photo

James Van Der Beek appreciates his Instagram followers.

He’s grateful that you enjoy looking at his page and checking out the images.

But he understands in this one special case. He won’t blame you at all if you choose to look away from his account for a few moments.

The former Dawson’s Creek star has shared a photo on social media that is really unlike any celebrity photo you’ve ever seen on these platforms.

The picture features Van Der Beek cradling his newborn daughter Gwendolyn … but when we say newborn, we mean NEWBORN.

The child is still attached to her umbilical cord.

Van Der Beek has taken fans inside his wife’s home birth, giving everyone a very up close and awfully personal view of what it’s like to partake in this sort of miraculous event.

“The category is: Home-Birth Realness,” opens the father of five before in his caption to the following picture, warning the “squeamish” to divert their eyes. 

We’ll emphasize that warning once again prior to publishing the photograph.

Ready? You sure?

Okay, here you go…

Van Der Beek continues in his message, listing everything you see above:

“Messy bed, Plastic sheeting underneath old sheets, Old towel crumpled on the floor, Vomit bag (unused), Inflatable birthing tub (also unused), Shirtless Dad, Boy in Spider-Man pajamas.”

(NOTE: This final item is easily our favorite. We love the idea of this adorable toddler just wandering around while his mother gives birth in his house to his sister.)

Concludes the actor:

“Happy, healthy baby, Happy healthy Mom in her own shower right after giving birth, Water bottle And . . . placenta in a mixing bowl (I warned you).”

It’s true.

He did warn us.

But most followers have reacted in amazement to such a picture, even thanking Van Der Beek for truly keeping it real.

Wrote one impressed individual, with the Instagram handle @kimberlys40:

Wow you are truly an amazing woman! @vanderkimberly and this is the most beautiful picture I have ever seen. Congratulations to the both of you and to your beautiful family.

The Dawson’s Creek alum and his wife, Kimberly Van Der Beek, welcomed their fifth child on Friday, June 15.

He and the wellness blogger are also parents of Olivia, 7, Joshua, 6, Annabel Leah, 4, and Emilia, 2.

James conrirmed the arrival of little Gwendolyn on Sunday via a photo of the family fawning over its latest addition.

“These last few days, as I’ve enjoyed the privilege of making smoothies I know my older kids will like, making my wife red raspberry leaf tea to ease her uterine contractions, spending ‘boy time’ with my son and getting my two year-old down for a nap in the way only I know how… I’ve been sick about something,” he wrote.

He then referenced the VERY controversial White House policy of separating children from their immigrant parents:

“As I write this, kids are being ripped from the arms of their parents. By our government.

“For the kid’s benefit? No – the opposite – as a purposeful display of cruelty to deter would-be illegal border crossers AND legal asylum seekers (its happening to both).

“And it wouldn’t be honest to wax poetic about my new-baby bliss without speaking up against this atrocity.”

Concluded the veteran actor:

A crime against humanity is a crime against us all.

The Real Housewives of New York Season 10 Episode 11 Recap: Faux Weddings and a Funeral

Jill Zarin returned on The Real Housewives of New York City Season 10 Episode 11, and we wish it was under better circumstances. 

The former cast member reunited with the ladies as she geared up for her late husband, Bobby Zarin’s funeral. 

“I got a text from mutual friends and Jill herself that Bobby passed away. It’s really sad. I knew how close they were,” said Ramona Singer while chatting with Dorinda Medley.

Ramona went on to confirm that she met up with Bobby and Jill while he was ill, and they put the past behind them. That’s a pretty big move when you consider the history between the three of them. 

“Bethenny hasn’t seen her for six years,” continued Ramona, which essentially confirmed we were going to be in for one of the most awkward reunions in the history of reunions. 

If you watch The Real Housewives of New York City online, you know that Bethenny and Jill were once best friends, but a falling out paved the way for them to part ways and never speak again. 

“Despite what happened with Jill, Bobby loved me,” said Bethenny of the whole situation, and made her way back from Aspen in luxury via a private jet for the event. 

Bethenny maintained that she was going to pay her respects and make a swift exit, but it all hit home for her when she was there. 

“I don’t know why I’m not leaving. I want to see her again. I’m feeling bad for a woman who lost her husband. It’s a real loss,” Bethenny said to the audience. 

Their reunion was as heartbreaking as one would expect. Jill admitted that she was in a difficult spot because she had not been alone since her 20s. 

“So proud. Bobby loved you,” Jill declared. 

“Where are the gift bags? Terrible funeral,” Bethenny said, clearly attempting to make light of a dire situation. 

After the funeral, Luann appeared in the episode thanks to the power of the telephone. Bethenny hit her up, and they got talking. 

Luann was mad that she missed the funeral, but she realized she needed to get herself better or she was going to end up in some serious trouble. 

“It was a wake-up call for me. This is the bottom,” Luann shared with her friend.

But Luann was looking at the positive side of things and admitted that it was for the best she was arrested because it gave her the nudge in the right direction she needed. 

Tinsley’s mother, Dale, was in the city and met up with her daughter. It quickly emerged that Dale was meddling in her daughter’s life by telling Scott Tinsley’s biological clock was running out. 

“Oh my god. Literally,” Tinsley said, before telling her mother to stay out of her life if her aim was to mess things up. 

Despite all of the drama, Tinsley went to look for wedding dresses with her mother. Is there actually hope for them to get married?

There may be a way for them to have kids. Tinsley made a video call to Dr. Denker aka her fertility specialist, and he showed them a picture of her eggs. 

“I’m looking at what potentially could be my children,” said Tinsley.

We finally got more intel from Luann as the episode drew to a close. 

“This past month for me has been eye-opening,” Luann said to the audience. 

“I feel really, really good,” said Luann on a phone call to Dorinda. “I’ve been self-medicating for a while. I binge in order to cover my emotions.” 

“I want to see what it’s like to be sober, see if I can actually enjoy myself without it,” Luann said as the episode closed.

Ben Seewald to Derick Dillard: You"re Not a Real Christian, Bruh!

Talk of feuds between various factions of the extended Duggar family is not uncommon.

The rumors often have to do with discord between Jill and Jessa Duggar, who allegedly went from besties to rivals at some point in the past few years.

Now, fans are under the impression that a new tweet from Jessa’s husband, Ben Seewald, has shone a light on the cause of that dispute.

It now looks as though the conflict started with a spat between Ben and Jill’s husband, Derick Dillard, that’s only gotten worse in recent months.

As you may recall, Derick was fired by TLC last year after he launched a transphobic tirade against fellow network star Jazz Jennings.

Jill quit the show in a gesture of solidarity, and the couple has not shot a scene for Counting On in the months since.

Unfortunately, rather than learning a lesson from the incident, Derick has doubled down in his bigotry.

Last week, Derick attacked Nate Berkus, a designer who stars in a TLC show alongside his husband and daughter.

Dillard derided Berkus and his family as “a travesty” in another bizarre Twitter rant.

Just two days later, Ben — who is rarely active on Twitter — posted a retweet that many are interpreting as a shot at Ben:

“If you say you ‘love your neighbor’ while really just loving the people that look like you, live like you & think like you, it is not your neighbor that you are loving…it is yourself,” the tweet reads.

It ends with the hashtag “#reallylovethyneighbor”

This is not the first time that Seewald has proven himself to be more liberal than his in-laws, but never before has he so publicly attacked a family member’s bigoted beliefs.

It’s also not the first indication that members of the Duggars’ inner circle are fed up with Derick.

Earlier this month, Ben unfollowed Derick on Instagram, as did members of the Bates family, another massive fundamentalist clan that’s often regarded as some of the Duggars’ closest friends.

The situation has many wondering if Jill and Derick have cut off contact with her family entirely.

That seems unlikely, but it’s clear that there’s some tension between the Dillards and the Seewalds.

Will they work it out, or Derick eventually be exiled, a la Josh Duggar.

Unfortunately, the situation won’t play out on television, but you can still watch Counting On online to relive the days before Derck got kicked to the curb.
