Tom D"Agostino: Already Dating After Split from Luann de Lesseps!
Luann de Lesseps and Tom D’Agostino are divorcing. Officially. After their short, short marriage, they’re not trying a trial separation but just ripping off the bandaid.
It’s such a sorry situation for Luann that even Bethenny Frankel feels sorry for her. And Bethenny Frankel isn’t exactly what you’d call a bleeding heart.
Apparently, things aren’t so hard on Tom D’Agostino. And, to absolutely no one’s surprise, Tom is reportedly already back to dating.
Hey, so, remember when Tom D’Agostino spoke to Us Weekly and told them that he and Luann had a lot of love between them and had no plans to split?
Well … we don’t want to be mean and say womp womp, but that sure didn’t last.
As it turns out, cheating on your fiance right before your engagement party doesn’t usually spell success for your marriage.
Basically everyone had warned Luann, but if she was a fool to marry Tom, then she was a fool who wanted to believe that love could conquer all obstacles and overcome any issues in their relationship.
There are worse dumb things to believe.
Overall, it seemed, Tom D’Agostino just had a wandering eye, and wandering other parts, and wasn’t going to let a little thing like marriage to a beautiful celebrity like Luann hold him back.
(It sounds like he might have some impulse-control issues, with a severe case of basically being immune to consequences and the entitlement that comes with that)
So, given that he was reportedly getting around during his engagement and marriage to Luann, it’s not really a shock to hear that he’s already back to dating openly.
Us Weekly reports that Tom D’Agostino is
“Tom has been seeing a few of the women in his life, including Missy, but hasn’t rebounded with anyone in particular yet.”
That’s a reference to his ex-girlfriend, Missy Tool.
Us Weekly says that another source insists that Missy and Tom are “just friends.”
Overall, though, that sounds pretty consistent with Tom, though we’d point out that seeing a bunch of different women is fine … when you’re single.
As he is no0w.
The first source has more to add.
“He didn’t want to do any interviews until he sees Luann’s sit-down with Andy to see if she bad-mouths him. Tom is really trying to take the high road with the divorce.”
Tom and Luann filed jointly for divorce, so it makes sense for them to try to be amicable.
There was a rumor floating around towards the end of their marriage …
(Though the eight-month marriage was so brief that any part of it could also be said to be “right at the beginning”)
… That Luann had struck Tom, slapping him in a restaurant. That sounded a lot like domestic violence.
When asked about it, Luann had stated that she had grabbed his face during their conversation. That’s not okay either, but a lot less alarming.
Tom’s rumored cheating plagued their relationship almost from the beginning, to the point where it became a storyline on The Real Housewives of New York City.
Tom is said to have grown tired of his newfound spotlight and celebrity status that came with marrying a Real Housewife, though … many imagine that the true impetus behind the divorce was the cheating.
We wonder if Tom has ever considered that he should be in an open relationship?
If he wants the affection and stability of a committed partner but also wants to be free to hook up with different women, that’s totally possible.
Polyamorous relationships can take a lot of forms, and the simplest of them is a couple that’s in an open relationship where both partners love and support each other but also know that they don’t need to sneak around if they hook up with a coworker or friend or a stranger in a bar.
Of course, for some people, it’s not that they just don’t like exclusivity — there are people who get a thrill from cheating and prefer things that way. That is something very different.
Honestly, we just want Luann and Tom to be able to move on and live their best lives.
And not repeat past mistakes.

Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi: Why Did They Split?
The Bachelor stars Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi called off their engagement Friday, five months after he proposed on the hit show.
While the news was heartbreaking, it didn’t exactly come as a surprise to many viewers … or sources who knew the couple best.
News of Nick Viall and Vanessa Grimaldi breaking up was not a shock to one friend of the brunette beauty. In fact, it felt almost overdue.
“Vanessa is extremely close to her family in Montreal, and is very connected to her community and her work there,” the source said.
“Moving to Los Angeles,” where Nick has officially taken up residence, “or elsewhere long term was never really on the table for her.”
“Unfortunately,” laments the source, despite some of his comments, “it seems as though Nick never had any intention of moving to Montreal.”
“Vanessa’s not really into the whole fame thing,” the source adds. “She’s had some fun with it, but that’s not what she’s about.”
“Ultimately, they want different things.”
Raise your hand if you’re surprised.
Anyone? Hello? Not one hand?!
We don’t know Nick personally, so we can’t comment on whether his intentions were pure, but to any viewer, this much was pretty obvious:
He, more than most Bachelor or Bachelorette stars, was enamored with the publicity, fame, spotlight and career opportunities that resulted.
Contrast that with Vanessa, who was at the opposite end of the spectrum, and it’s sort of a small wonder they lasted as long as they did.
Nick went immediately from The Bachelor to Dancing With the Stars, which wouldn’t be the kiss of relationship death in and of itself.
That almost seemed like the goal for him, however, to use The Bachelor as a jump-off point to build his own brand and life in Los Angeles.
Grimaldi, meanwhile, always felt like a fish out of water there and missed Canada, where the source believes she’ll be back in no time.
An additional insider added that “Vanessa is an extremely down-to-earth girl and truly wanted that happily-ever-after with Nick.”
“They both put in a lot of work in the relationship and care a lot for each other,” the source continued, somewhat defending Viall.
“However, time proved that they were better off parting ways in the end. It wasn’t the distance or the limelight [that caused this].”
“They just weren’t the best match for each other.”
Fellow members from Bachelor Nation questioned the couple’s compatibility as Vanessa seemed to keep them all at a distance.
Jasmine Goode and Danielle Lombard, two women who also sought Nick’s roses on The Bachelor, said she went radio silent.
Goode said that was highly unusual for her:
“I think Taylor talks to [Vanessa], I think Danielle [Maltby] does. I’ve seen [Vanessa] here and there. There’s no hard feelings, you know?”
As for whether Goode thought Viall was just acting, she said “sometimes” felt that way, or at least, “I think he was just playing it up, you know?”
Lombard, a.k.a. the Hottest Woman Alive on Bachelor in Paradise, added that she has not heard from Vanessa since the season ended.
“Vanessa and I don’t have a great relationship and I think after things happened with Nick, we just parted ways,” she explained.
“In terms of whether or not I [thought] their relationship would last, I don’t know,” she said, adding that body language might say a lot.
“I think their relationship is very different than other, past Bachelor Nation couples,” she added. “They seem to be a little bit more serious.”
“At least compared to what I’ve seen from Rachel [Lindsay] and Bryan [Abasolo], or Kaitlyn [Bristowe] and Shawn [Booth].”
“Yeah, it seems a lot less playful.”
Many fans were calling this the moment Nick and Vanessa came out on the After the Final Rose special following his season finale.
They seemed … less than happy.
Sometimes we read too much into such appearances, which are both emotional and awkward. Doesn’t look like this was one of those times.

Aaron Carter Ex Madison Parker: I Didn"t Split Because He"s Bisexual! I"m Not a Bigot!
Aaron Carter came out as bisexual and he also broke up with his girlfriend Madison Parker, and those were at just about the same time.
While Aaron’s been quick to thank fans for supporting him since he came out, it’s sounded an awful lot like Madison herself was less than supportive — and that she may have even broken up with him because of biphobia.
Madison’s making a statement, however, and she hopes to clear up any misconceptions.
In a statement to E!, Madison Parker claims that Aaron’s bisexuality and coming out wasn’t behind their split.
“My split with Aaron has nothing to do with him being bisexual. Our parting of ways is something that has been coming for some time and it’s the best thing for us both.”
That’s good to hear, at least.
“Some of my closest friends and loved ones are of the LGBTQ community, people I love and support wholeheartedly, so for Out.com or anyone to label me ‘homophobic’ is appalling and hurtful and couldn’t be more off character.”
We understand why she felt the need to speak up for herself.
“I’ve been nothing but supportive of Aaron and his career and I’m happy for him that he’s having the courage to live his truth.”
She’s still not calling him out for saying what he did about her, so maybe she’s still being supportive.
“Breaking up is never easy for anyone, but it is my hope that we can move on from this point as peacefully and respectfully as possible. I wish him all the best.”
So, let’s get into this:
In a moment, we’ll show you Aaron’s previous statement, which painted a different picture of their breakup.
First, though, while we’re not necessarily accusing Madison of anything, let’s go through that statement line by line.
We totally believe that their breakup was already in the works.
That’s usually the case with breakups, after all.
Saying that she has close friends who are LGBTQ and that therefore she couldn’t possibly be homophobic is … pretty close to someone saying that they can’t be racist because they have black friends, right?
Plus, there are (unfortunately) plenty of people who have zero shortage of close gay friends but who would be uncomfortable dating a bisexual person, which is definitely biphobic.
And they didn’t just make it up — their write-up had to be based on Aaron’s statement.
She’s definitely been super supportive of him and we don’t think that anyone’s questioning that.
Madison is talking as if various writers accusing her of biphobia came out of nowhere.
It did not.
While some (us included) wondered if that might be a factor when the news of their breakup first, well, broke, we also discussed the possibility that it might not be.
The belief that Madison broke up with Aaron Carter because he is bisexual or because he was ready to tell the world that he is bisexual came from Aaron Carter himself.
If you’ll recall, Aaron Carter had suggested in an interview that his coming out as bisexual played a role in their breakup.
“I had discussed it with my ex-girlfriend, and she didn’t really understand it and she didn’t want [to].”
That sounds so incredibly sad.
“And that was it. So, we left it mutual and parted ways.”
He later tweeted that their split was “very amicable,” but that … isn’t the same as saying that biphobia wasn’t involved.
You know, though Madison doesn’t really make a compelling argument for herself, we can totally see this as just an amicable breakup that coincided with Aaron’s coming out.
In fact, both of those events may have been brought on by the same life factors.
We just don’t know.
It’s also possible that Aaron misunderstood Madison’s reasons for breakup up with him, or described their breakup in a way that he didn’t mean to.
We want him to live his best life, don’t get us wrong, but he’s sometimes said worrisome and irrational things in the past.
But, let’s be clear: we’re so excited that Aaron’s come out and we’re hopeful that his life and overall well-being will only improve from here on out.
And unless we know that someone is bigoted, we’re not going to hop on the hate train with regard to Madison Parker or anybody else.

Matt Baier: On a Bender in Vegas Following Split From Amber Portwood?
Matt Baier is a man who has some issues.
Actually, it might be more accurate to say that Baier has all of the issues.
Baier recently split from Amber Portwood amidst allegations that he freqently used drugs (while claiming to be several years sober), cheated on more than one occasion, and often lost his temper with his fiancee/meal ticket.
Even now that he’s been kicked to the curb, Matt still continues to make tabloid headlines with his bad behavior.
Earlier this week, we learned that Baier was often high while filming episodes of Teen Mom 2.
Now, it seems the troubled reality star has decided to indulge another of his vices now that he’s once again a single man.
Insiders say Baier is gambling again, news that’s likely to alarm those closest to the 46-year-old, as he’s struggled with gambling addiction in the past.
Baier recently posted a photo of himself with another problem gambler, baseball legend Pete Rose, and confirmed the rumors that he’s partying it up in Sin City by tagging his location as Las Vegas.
“Hanging with #baseball’s all time hit leader, Mr. Pete Rose! Not in the #hof, but he definitely should be,” Baier wrote, showing sympathy for his fellow lover of lettin’ it ride.
But what’s even more troubling to members of Matt’s inner circle is the possibility that he might be relapsing while licking his post-relationship wounds.
If you watch Teen Mom: OG online, you know that Matt’s last trip to Vegas didn’t go so well.
That was when he lost his mind after his fiancee wouldn’t agree to a quickie wedding, and proceeded to tell producers that he would “never” marry Portwood.
It was later revealed that he had relapsed shortly before the trip.
So it’s not hard to see why Matt’s family and friends are concerned by the fact that he’s alone in Vegas, having recently earned several huge paydays from his time on MTV.
We’d say we’re hoping that Matt isn’t getting into trouble and hanging out with unsavory types, but we already know that’s not possible.
See: Above photo with Pete Rose.
We’ll keep you posted on Matt’s shenanigans.

Ben Higgins Breaks Silence on "Tough" Lauren Bushnell Split
In speaking about his recent break-up from Lauren Bushnell, Ben Higgins went ahead this week and channeled his inner Boyz II Men.
Despite constant chatter over the state of his relationship with his chosen suitor, the ex-Bachelor said on a podcast Wednesday that it’s so very hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
In a clip from the podcast obtained by People Magazine, Higgins delved into the end of his romance with Bushnell and explained that both sides simply knew it was time to call it quits.
“Just to be as politically correct as possible but to also be as truthful as possible, Lauren will always be one of my best friends,” said Higgins.
He continued:
“It’s tough.
“It’s hard to say goodbye to somebody that you spent so much time with and it’s hard to say goodbye to somebody that you really did believe was the one for you.”
Just how strongly did Higgins believe Bushnell was the one for him?
He called off the couple’s relationship engagement during an episode of their Freeform reality show last summer.
Higgins made Bushnell cry at the time, but insisted he was still dedicated to her in the long run.
But this is no longer the case.
“I’m sad. I’m a little confused, a little lost, but I’m doing alright,” Higgins told fellow Bachelor alumnus Ashley Iaconetti on the podcast.
Throughout the past few months, the couple had been plagued by breakup rumors.
Where did it all go wrong for Bushnell and Higgins? Why did the end finally arrive?
Bushnell moved to Denver to be with Higgins and many insiders have said she lost her identity in doing so.
She doesn’t really have a job and hasn’t had a direction in life since uprooting everything for her now-ex-fiance.
“I know that they have struggled with the show and then kind of continuing on and doing their reality show and kind of where the show stopped and then where life began,” Chris Harrison told People in his remarks about the split.
Our favorite host human being added:
“They were fighting through a bunch of stuff. But I don’t know. I’ll reach out to them. I’m very sorry to hear that because I do care about them very much.”
What does Higgins have to say about the past several weeks?
“I think, mutually, Lauren and I saw that life was getting more difficult,” he tried to explain on the podcast, expounding as follows:
“I would say the joy that we felt toward our relationship at the beginning was – for some reason – slipping away, and we were both working very hard to bring that joy back.
“And it just never seemed to get there. So it was a long time coming, but it wasn’t necessarily like we dragged it out.”
Here is what Higgins and Bushnell said in a joint statement upon confirming their split:
It is with heavy hearts that we announce our decision to go our separate ways.
We feel fortunate for all the time that we had together, and we will remain friends with much love and respect for one another.
We wish nothing but the best for each other, and ask for your support and understanding at this time.
In conclusion, however, Higgins sees a positive future for both himself and his former lover.
“I believe that Lauren and I both will come out of this with a whole new season that is going to be very good for the both of us,” he said on the podcast.

Amber Portwood: Foreshadowing Matt Baier Split on Teen Mom OG?!
As we heard yesterday, things aren"t looking too good for Amber Portwood and Matt Baier.
And thank goodness for that.
After hearing rumors that Matt had been cheating on her, Amber made him take a lie detector test this week while they were in L.A. He failed, and she flipped.
She told him to go home and get his things out of her house, but later she said that she wasn"t sure whether or not they were together.
Matt made a gushy, bizarre statement about how they were totally in love and stronger than ever, but Amber added that "As of now, we are not broken up."
It sounds like she"s on the fence about staying with him … and in this Teen Mom OG sneak peek, we"re seeing that she"s been on that fence for a long time.
In the clip, Amber goes to try on wedding dresses — judging by her hair and the timeline we"ve seen on the show, this will have been at least three months ago.
She walks out of the dressing room in a gorgeous gown, her friend is fawning over her, but still she looks deeply unhappy.
She looks at herself for a while, looking more and more distressed, and when the bridal shop employee asks her how she feels to be in a wedding dress, she says "I don"t know."
Not in a sweet, overwhelmed way, but in truly troubled way.
Her friend asks if she"s going to cry, and Amber nods, but again, it"s not a sweet moment.
Finally she says "All right, I"m ready to get out of this. Get me out of this. Now."
Not exactly the attitude you"d expect from an excited bride about to marry the love of her life.
See Amber"s undeniable sadness in the clip below:

Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt: REAL Reason For Their Split Revealed?!
Back in September, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt in a move that stunned Hollywood and left fans with a number of questions as to what could have prompted Jolie to pull the plug on her marriage so abruptly.
Shortly thereafter, a narrative emerged that seemed to explain Angie’s actions:
Insiders explained that an altercation between Brad and the couple’s eldest son aboard a private jet turned so ugly that Jolie felt she had no choice but to immediately move out on Pitt and take the kids.
That still seems to be the likeliest explanation for the dissolution of Hollywood’s most highly-publicized marriages, but with the amount of scrutiny the situation has been under, it was only a matter of time before alternative theories began to emerge.
Today, one of those theories is making the rounds online courtesy of documentary filmmaker Ian Halperin, who claims that it was actually Angelina’s controversial relationship with her brother, James Haven, that drove the couple apart.
“James was so close to them that he was actually living with them,” Halperin tells Radar Online in an interview to promote his new film, Broken: The Incredible Story of Brangelina.
“It put Brad over the edge. Brad gave Ang the ultimatum; it’s him or me!”
Halperin doesn’t deny that the midair fight took place, but he insists that Brad and Angie’s marriage was already damage beyond repair at that point.
In fact, he says there’s reason to believe that Halperin – not 911 or CPS – was the recipient of Jolie’s first phone call after the plane landed.
“The rumor is that she reached out to James while she was on the plane to call child services, but I haven’t seen the smoking gun on that point,” Halperin tells Radar.
Halperin says his film also addresses the elephant in the room on the topic of Angie and James’ relationship, namely the allegations of incest that have plagued the siblings.
“I get into the whole rumors of incest. I do conclude unwaveringly in the film it was mainly a publicity stunt and it worked, but on the flip side people agree the kiss was too close for comfort,” he said.
He adds that while he doesn’t believe there was a sexual component to Jolie and Haven’s relationship, he does feel Angie and James’ relationship was inappropriately close:
“Then the conclusion is amongst experts ‘No wonder they split.’ Here we are more than a decade later and James is living with them full time. Ultimately it was too close for comfort for Brad.”

Kris Jenner & Corey Gamble: Why Did They Split?
Last week, we learned that Kris Jenner and Corey have broken up, and while there’s been no official confirmation from the couple, the fact that they haven’t denied the rumors speaks volumes.
Of course, Kris is the mastermind behind a family that’s turned interpersonal drama interpersonal drama into a lucrative art form, so it’s possible she and Corey are just milking the reports of their separation.
Not surprisingly, sources close to the Kard clan say the split is already being worked into new episodes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
Many believe it’s no accident that news of the breakup comes on the heels of reports that KUWTK will soon be canceled due to declining ratings that show no signs of turning around.
In fact, there are many who believe that Kris’ decision to end her relationship with Gamble was motivated by a need for new storylines.
According to Radar Online, Kris and Corey split primarily so that their separation could be featured on new episodes of her family’s failing reality series.
In a way, it’s not surprising that Kris would offer her own relationship as a sacrifice to the gods of reality television.
After all, she’s the one who’s reportedly most concerned about the possibility of the show coming to an end.
While Kim and company are said to be happy to wave goodbye to the series that made them famous, sources say Kris is acutely aware of the important role that KUWTK plays in keeping her family relevant.
Now, those closest to the family say that whether or not she timed her split with Gamble in order to rescue the show, Kris is making the most out of her romantic misfortune.
Radar claims that Kris has already filmed “breakup scenes” with her youngest daughters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
“Kendall was even told to tell Kris how ‘great’ she looked,” says a source who witnessed the filming of one such scene.
Of course, this situation begs the question:
Are Kris and Corey just faking their breakup for ratings?
Possibly, but if anyone were willing to actually end a relationship in order to save her family’s reality show, it would be Kris Jenner.
