Tom Hanks and Bruce Springsteen Hit the High Seas, Much Different Vessels

Here’s Tom Hanks being the Captain, now — but apparently, being the Boss carries more weight in the waters off Italy. Tom and Rita Wilson were doing the dinghy thing Friday off the island of Capri while, not too far away, their…

Sister Wives Recap: Staying Afloat on the Seas of Drama

Not everything for Kody Brown, his four wives and 17 children was smooth sailing Sunday on Sister Wives Season 6 Episode 7 … but is it ever?

This week, the family set out to construct cardboard boats for the annual Las Vegas Pirate Festival, and there was plenty of drama on the high seas.

Kody and his wives butted heads over the creations of the paper marine vessels, as familiar tensions came to the surface during this “fun” activity.

After watching Robyn and Kody beef over the design of their team’s boat, Christine points out to her that she’s just wasting her time in the end.

“In the end… guess what? He’s going to win anyway,” Christine, slightly bitter, said. “He’s going to do it his way, anyway, 90 percent of the time.

“So why argue? Because there’s no point.”

If you watch Sister Wives online, you know the back story there, but things took a more serious turn when Kody gets a phone call from his lawyer.

Robyn’s ex is at her office, to settle the issue of giving Kody parental rights to his children, Aurora, Dayton and Breanna. And it’s done! He signed!

Kody can’t believe the family’s good fortune:

“We’re shell-shocked because we have gone so far, thinking we were going to have this major, major fight with him and all of a sudden it’s over.”

Christine summed it up best, saying:

“Meri, your divorce was worth it!”

That was mostly in jest, but Kody did divorce her so he could marry Robyn and make a legal claim to adopt her kids, so Christine is not incorrect.

The kids’ feelings were more mixed.

Aurora broke down in tears, calling it a “dream come true,” while Dayton explained that he was a bit shocked, “downright surprised and baffled.”

Of course, the battle isn’t over, either: Robyn’s ex signing off was a major hurdle, but a judge still has to be convinced to make this thing legitimate.

And that, Christine notes, likely “comes down to the judge and how he feels about plural families” … so stay tuned as the TLC hit continues!
