Chip and Joanna Gaines: We"re Returning to Television!

Chip and Joanna Gaines are about to take a new step in their professional lives.

And it’s a significant one.

The former HGTV stars announced on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on Friday that they will soon make their long-awaited return to television.

In what context? In what way?

The beloved couple remained mostly mum on the subject while chatting with the comedian last night.

“We signed a non-disclosure and it said quote unquote you can tell your mother but that’s it,” Chip joked on air, adding:

“So mom, I just wanted to make a quick announcement, we are coming back to television.

“You are going to get to see the kids grow up, you are going to see us, well maybe a six-month delay like the rest of the world, but we are excited to be back.”

Just over a year ago, Chip and Joanna announced that would be leaving Fixer Upper after five seasons.

Since then, the home renovation experts have been rather busy in their own home, having welcomed their fifth child in late June.

However, Magnolia spokesman John Marsicano talked to People Magazine and offered a lot more detail on what the future holds for his co-workers:

“We’re excited to share that we are currently in the early stages of talking with Discovery about a lifestyle-focused media network for Magnolia.

“The details surrounding this opportunity remain a work in progress, but together, our hope is to build a different kind of platform for unique, inspiring and family-friendly content.”

Speaking to Fallon, Chip did add the following:

“I think we’re really going to carve it out in a way that really makes sense to us and our families.

“It’ll be filmed a lot in Waco, Texas, so we don’t have to travel a whole lot. All things being equal, we could not be more excited.”

Chip and Joanna hosted the top-rated show on HGTV prior to leaving the small screen.

Fans fell in love with how they remade various homes, but also with how they joked around and interacted with each other.

The upcoming new network will be the latest addition to Chip and Joanna’s gigantic list of successful businesses.

This includes their lifestyle magazine The Magnolia Journal, the new Magnolia Table restaurant and the couple’s product line at Target.

Despite bidding farewell to Fixer Upper in April, Chip and Joanna have remained very active in the business world.

“The show was amazing and we are so thankful for it, but it’s also a whirlwind where, if you are not careful, it will flat run you over,” Chip told People in October.

Looking ahead, Discovery spokesperson David Leavy says the following:

“The Gaineses are exceptional people, true authentic storytellers and creative visionaries who will nourish millions of people with quality, family-friendly programming accessible on a 24/7 network and across all screens.

“Stay tuned…working out the final details…more to come soon!”

Wendy Williams: COLLAPSED on Live Television. What Happened?!

It"s a rare thing for a live television show to have to cut to commercial without warning. It"s rarer still for it to be because of the show"s host.

But no one could have foreseen that Wendy Williams would suddenly collapse on live television.

Wendy Williams claims that she"s now okay, but … as you"ll see in the video below, this was a scary incident.

Not even 50 Cent would wish this upon Wendy Williams. Probably.

In the video that you will see below, Wendy Williams is giving her normal Halloween broadcast.

Dressed as the Statue of Liberty, the often controversial talk show host is talking about her annual Halloween costume contest that the show does every year.

Her voice is a little shaky and her eyes seem strikingly wide … but, no shade, that"s not especially unusual for Wendy Williams.

But then it all goes horribly wrong.

Wendy Williams certainly means to say "our first guest."

Instead, she says "our first caress." And no, we don"t think that it was a Freudian slip brought about by lustful thoughts about one of the cameramen or whatever.

(That would be salacious and wonderful but a lot less scary)

See how wide her eyes looked — how frightened she looks in that above photo?

That"s right after she says the word "caress."

Either she wasn"t able to speak anymore, even to call for help, or she was too distracted and horrified by whatever was happening to her mind and body in that moment.

Visibly horrified, Wendy Williams stumbles backwards, her feet shuffling just a few steps.

One trembling hand reaches feebly for her head — to indicate that something was wrong with her head, or perhaps trying to tug off her hat or wig?

We don"t know. Maybe not even Wendy can say for sure.

Then she collapses.

Wendy Williams" crew rush forward while screams can be heard from the shocked audience.

And the camera cuts.

Wendy Williams comes back after the break to say that she had simply overheated in her costume and passed out as a result.

At first, many thought that this was a stroke. Honestly … strokes can take a lot of forms, and not everyone is convinced that this was a simple fainting spell.

The scrambled words and the suddenness of it all … well, that"s alarming.

It is Halloween. Maybe a bunch of ghosts didn"t think that Wendy Williams" apologies that she inevitably makes after blaming victims are truly heartfelt.

She was also dressed as the Statue of Liberty, making this into an involuntary political statement about the Trump Administration.

Whatever happens, though, we hope that Wendy Williams is okay.

We respect her decision to go back on the air (gotta capitalize on those ratings, folks!), but we hope that she spends some serious time with medical professionals later today.

Josh Duggar: Returning to Television TONIGHT, Sources Claim

In the wake of the Josh Duggar sex scandals, the Duggar family’s reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, was canceled by TLC amidst protests and a rapid loss in advertising revenue, due to sponsors cutting ties with the series.

Many fans were stunned when the Duggars were given a second shot at television stardom with Counting On, a spinoff series that would shift the focus from Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar to their children.

The Duggars and the show’s producers reportedly assured TLC that Josh Duggar would never appear on Counting On, and thus far, they’ve made good on that promise.

But now, it looks as though the disgraced 29-year-old may be returning to television as part of an ongoing effort to rehabilitate his public image.

According to a recent exposè published by In Touch, Jim Bob Duggar has negotiated to have Josh reintroduced to viewers in hopes that their more faithful fans will be willing to forgive his shocking sex crimes.

“Nobody thought TLC would ever allow him on again,” an insider tells the tabloid.

“[Jim Bob] spent a month trying to convince TLC that Josh should be back on the show. They finally caved and agreed to let him film an upcoming Counting On webisode where he’ll talk about his joy at learning he’s going to be a father again,” the source explains.

According to the deal reached by Jim Bob and the network, if fans react positively to Josh’s appearance online, “he’ll appear on the next season of Counting On.”

That interview took place several weeks ago, so by “next season,” the source presumably meant the run of new episodes that began on September 11.

While the promised “webisode” has yet to materialize, it does look as though the Duggars are tentatively reintroducing Josh to fans.

Earlier this month, Josh and wife Anna Duggar recorded a video message to Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell at the couple’s wedding.

The clip was not well-received, with many fans cringing at Josh’s declaration that he looked forward to having “another sister” in the family.

Despite the negative reaction, the Duggars tested the waters again just days later, when Josh wished Michelle Duggar a happy birthday in a short video greeting that was uploaded to YouTube.

Rumors of Josh returning to Counting On seem to surface every few weeks, and they have yet to prove accurate.

However, it’s worth noting that the former lobbyist has not been featured this prominently on his family’s social media accounts since word that he molested four of his sisters went public.

It’s enough to make some fans think his long-awaited returning is drawing near.

In fact, some Duggar followers believe the promotional materials for Monday night’s Counting On contain hints that Josh will appear on the episode.

For starters, the episode will be available on the TLC Go app before it airs on television, leading many to the conclusion that this is Josh’s promised webisode.

On top of that, the network is teasing a “surprise” on tonight’s installment, which many fans believe will focus on Joseph and Kendra’s wedding.

If this is indeed the Joseph and Kendra wedding episode, then a Josh cameo seems all the more likely.

We know that he was in attendance, and other guests have confirmed that there were some unexpected moments during filming.

“The wedding was beautiful, and there were some fun surprises, but I can’t give any spoilers before it airs on TLC,” wrote one longtime family friend on Instagram last month.

It’s easy to see why fans believe tonight’s the night of Josh’s widely-dreaded return, but frankly, we don’t see it happening.

The Duggars simply have too much to lose by bringing Josh back on screen, and his recent, brief appearances online have been met with scorn and derision.

It’s possible that at one point his parents were planning to bring the father of five back on the show, but with the amount of media savvy they’ve demonstrated over the years, we can’t imagine Jim Bob and Michelle making such a disastrous PR misstep.

No, our guess is that for the foreseeable future, Josh will continue to linger in the shadows, an unseen elephant in the room, a skeleton in the closet of reality TV’s most controversial family.

Watch Counting On online to get caught up in time for tonight’s episode.

A Woman, A Dog and the Reason Why Jacob Roloff May Return to Television

As previously noted in adorable detail, Amy Roloff recently got to enjoy some “Grandma Time” with her first grandson.

The Little People, Big World matriarch shared a new photo of herself and little baby Jackson and followers rightfully cooed and cheered the precious image.

Now, however, Amy has posted a picture that includes a different sort of important family member…

… and which has fans buzzing.

The Instagram image features Roloff on her farm in Oregon, standing on her deck and acting all playful with her son’s canine.

“Love this ‘pup’. Jacob’s dog Luna gives me a ‘kiss’ each time she sees me,” wrote the reality star as a caption, adding the hashtags:

#secondact #loverescuedogs #somelunalove.

What’s the big deal? Why such furious commenting and speculating from TLC viewers over a seemingly simple snapshot?

Because it means Jacob Roloff was recently spending time with his family, which is once again spurring rumors that he could return to Little People, Big World.

Jacob quit the reality show just over a year ago.

And he seemed to burn every possible bridge on his way out, slamming producers and even close family members as fake and phony.

In July of last year, Roloff wrote that he’s seen “storylines drawn up,” accusing the series of being scripted and writing of the way his relatives were depicted:

“The family that is filmed is not my family… They are the Roloff Characters and I have scarcely anything in common with them, nor do I want to be a character myself.”

True to his word, Jacob left the show and has dedicated the past several months to driving around the Pacific Northwest with his girlfriend and their two dogs.

But he’s backed off his assessment a bit of late, even acknowledging that he’s done a lot of growing up since last summer and making a point to see his family more often.

We can confirm, for example, that he played a key role in Molly Roloff’s wedding just two weeks ago, posing with the bride (below) and also helping to set up.

Does this mean Jacob would return to the program as a full-time cast member?

We likely shouldn’t count on it.

But fans of Amy are proud of the way she handled the temporary tiff with her child.

“When things were tough between you and Jacob, you remained strong and NEVER spoke out in a negative way about or towards him,” read one comment on the photo above.

“What an amazing example of unconditional love and how to be the amazing mother we all have grown to love!

“I was and am SO impressed with your positive attitude and complete faith that he would come back into the family fold.”

Amy was flattered by this remark and by others of similar nature, but she also wanted to make it clear that Jacob hasn’t really been estranged from his parents or siblings.

“He’s always been around – except when he was living in Cali – just not on the show the last couple of seasons,” she wrote on her own Instagram page in response to a few questions about Jacob.

Ever since Molly’s wedding, Roloff family members have shared numerous images that depict Jacob’s presence in their lives.

Matt, for example, referred to his son the “coolest and best-read” man on the farm, while brother Jeremy told Little People, Big World fans that Jacob is a “smart dude with a good heart.”

The beloved reality show returns for Season 14 in September.

We’ll certainly be tuning in to see if Jacob shows up.

How about you?!?

Bridezillas is Actually Coming Back to Television

The sounds of wedding bells are about to be heard on WE tv once again.

And so are the sounds of women in very expensive dresses screaming at loved ones and crying their spoiled eyes out.

Indeed, in the latest sign of both the Apocalypse and of television being totally out of ideas, the network has announced that it is bringing back Bridezillas!

“From the beginning, Bridezillas was nothing short of [a] pop culture phenomenon and a brand-defining show for WE tv,” said Network President Marc Juris, adding in his statement:

“Years after saying goodbye to our last Bridezilla, we have been asked consistently to bring this show back by viewers and fans.

“With its built-in fan base and continued cultural relevance, the Bridezillas franchise is a strategic growth asset that we can leverage across our business and we are thrilled to be bringing it back to WE tv.”

Bridezillas is basically summed up by its one-word title.

Each episode tells the story of a woman who is desperately trying to plan her dream wedding, overcoming such difficult obstacles along the way as thin friends, unhelpful parents and grooms who simply don’t get it.

The reality series ran for 10 seasons and 185 episodes before saying goodbye in 2013.

It spawned the spinoff Marriage Boot Camp: Bridezillas, which then gave way to Marriage Boot Camp without the Bridezillas.

This is merely the latest reality program to be revived by a network.

In the spring of 2018, for example, ABC will bring back American Idol.

Previously, MTV rebooted Fear Factor (with Ludacris as host), while Match Game, Celebrity Family Feud, $ 100,000 Pyramid and Battle of the Network Stars are all back on the air after decades away.

But none can match the absurd drama that Bridezillas delivered during its peak.

Remember the woman who enforced a weight minimum for her bridesmaids because she had to be the skinniest person in her party?

If you somehow forgot, don’t worry. We’re about to give you nightmares once again…

Bridezillas Clip: I Need FAT Bridesmaids!

And then there was the mother who tried to convince her daughter than there ought to be clowns at her wedding.

That’s not a joke or a euphemism or some kind of exaggeration.

This parent was saying that maybe clowns should perform at the reception:

Bridezillas Promo: Will the Wedding Be a Circus?

Will you tune in for the return of Bridezillas, which will consist of 10 episodes and air later this year or early next year?

This is a safe space. It’s okay. We won’t tell anyone.

You can go ahead and admit it if so.

Harry Styles Actually Gets Tattoo on Television

This is why we"re really gonna miss One Direction.

The very handsome British boy band is still planning to take a hiatus in 2016 (and, so it seems, also in 2017), but at least the group is still on a publicity tour for its latest album.

And that tour took them to The Late Late Show with James Cordon on Thursday night, where Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne took on the host in a game of Tattoo Roulette.

Just how does one play Tattoo Roulette? It"s simple:

Contestants pick a box – and the unlucky individual to select the box with the word "tattoo" written on the lid has to ACTUALLY GET A TATTOO.

The One Direction members agreed to have the words "Late Late" tattooed on a part of their body if they lost, while Corden said he would go with "1D" if he chose the wrong box.

For real. There were actual stakes at play here, people!

“I’m regretting you thought of this game," said Horan at one point because he’s the sole One Direction singer without a tattoo. "I don"t like this."

In the end, Horan was saved from his worst nightmare after Styles, a man with many tattoos, selected the tattoo-themed box. 

And then he really did go ahead and get a tattoo on television.

Watch the game unfold in its entirety below:

Teresa Giudice: Banned From Returning to Television By Prison Officials?

Sometime in the next two months, Teresa Giudice will be released from prison.

The disgraced Housewife has been planning her return to public life since before she got locked up, but while she’ll likely be released ahead of schedule, every other part of her comeback plan is falling to pieces.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey spinoff miniseries entitled Teresa Checks In has been tanking in the ratings, and it seems viewers just aren’t as interested in Teresa and her troubles as Bravo had hoped.

Fortunately, Teresa has already reached a lucrative deal to return to the series that made her famous. Unfortunately, it looks like prison officials might prevent Teresa from filming scenes for RHONJ for at least two months after her release.

Radar Online is reporting that Teresa will be put on house arrest until February of 2016 after her release. She was reportedly okay with the arrangement until she learned recently that she may not be permitted to have reality TV cameras in her home.

“It looks like Teresa might not be able to film while she is under house arrest” says one insider. “The Bureau of Prisons has to sign off on it, and no decision has been made.”

So it looks like we may have to wait until the spring of 2016 to see Mrs. Giudice on camera.

Fortunately, Teresa fans (if such a thing exists) won’t have to wait that long for a dose of Tre. Her memoir – Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again – is set to be released on February 9.

Get it? Turning the Tables? Because she likes to flip tables? Hey, at least she hasn’t lost her sense of humor!

Journalist Gets Hit By Car on Live Television

A few days ago, we posted coverage of a female journalist getting sexual harassed while reporting on sexual harassment.

Pretty crazy, huh? Nearly as crazy as this:

The video featured here depicts a Fox Sports anchor in Mexico speaking live via satellite with reporter David Medrano Mora.

We"re not sure what the two are talking about, exactly, but we"re pretty darn positive that Mora gets hit by a car during the broadcast.

The vehicle doesn"t seem to be moving very quickly, and we"ve been told that Mora did not suffer any major injuries… but still.

It"s safe to say this isn"t something one expects to see while watching television. Check it out for yourself.
