John Dineen Dies; Fiance of Actress Michelle Dockery Was 34

John Dineen – the fiancé of Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery – has passed away at the age of 34.

A senior director at a London-based consulting firm, Dineen had been battling a rare form of cancer since earlier this year.

With Dockery at his bedside, he passed away on Sunday at a hospice facility near his birthplace in Cork County, Ireland.

Dockery – who is best known for her role as Lady Mary Crawley on the acclaimed British period drama – began dating Dineen in 2013 after they were introduced by her Downton co-star Allen Leech.

She released a statement through her publicist today in which she thanked fans for their “kindness and support.”

The statement concluded with a request that the Dineen and Dockery families be “left to grieve in private.”

Fiercely protective of her privacy, Dockery was rarely seen in public with Dineen and avoided mentioning their relationship in interviews.

She first mentioned her in engagement in a September 2014 interview, saying, “I have a wonderful man in my life from Ireland.” 

Reps for Dockery have stated that she will not be speaking publicly on the matter of Dineen’s death and that fans and well-wishers donate to cancer research organizations in lieu of sending gifts.

Teresa Giudice: One Week Left in Prison!

It’s been almost a year since Teresa Giudice reported to prison to begin serving a 5-month sentence for bankruptcy fraud.

Against all odds, Tre kept to herself and served her time without incident. For the first time in her life, Teresa Giudice made the “nice” list, and now, thanks to her good behavior, she’ll be out of jail in time for the holidays!

As we reported last week, Teresa will he home and on house arrest by Christmas, and now, insiders say prison authorities have finally set a release date.

Yes, Teresa will walk out Danbury Correctional on December 23. 

It’s been suggested that officials selected a date so close to Christmas for a reason.

If Teresa messes up in any way (like, say, having a Bravo camera crew document her release), she can be tossed back behind bars, thus ensuring that she won’t get to spend a final Christmas with her family before Joe Giudice begins his 41-month sentence sometime in early 2016.

“Teresa just wants to be reunited with her family, and get out of there with as little fanfare as possible,” says one insider.

“There will no doubt be photographers present, but Teresa won’t be lingering around. She just wants to get to her house and then she will really believe it’s over.”

We already know that Teresa is returning to The Real Housewives of New Jersey, and that her readjustment to life on the outside will be a major storyline on the show’s new season, but it looks as though her release will not be documented by producers.

Andy Cohen and company have been warned not to film Teresa’s first moments as a free woman, but don’t worry – we’ll be here with all the details and hopefully plenty of pics.

Watch The Real Housewives of New Jersey online to relive Tre’s fall from grace.

Kendall Jenner: FREAKED OUT By Justin Bieber-Kourtney Kardashian Relationship!

As you’ve probably heard, rumors that Justin Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian are hooking up have been everywhere lately, and the really shocking part is – it looks like they’re true!

Naturally, no one is more weirded out by this cradle-robbing romance than Kendall Jenner, who used to sleep with Bieber herself.

According to Hollywood Life, Kendall (like the rest of us) thinks the whole thing is gross, and the Biebs needs to stop crossing Kardashian-Jenner women off of his “to do” list.

“Kendall thinks the whole thing between Kourtney and Justin is weird,” says one insider. “It’s just creepy. First off, Justin is Kendall‘s good friend. He used to date her best friend Hailey [Baldwin]. Plus, he’s just too young for Kourtney.

“He’s a complete player and for the life of her, Kendall doesn’t understand what Kourtney and Justin have in common. They both downplay their flirting with each other when they’re around Kendall, but she’s not an idiot.

“She knows something’s brewing between them and it’s just bizarre to her.”

Kourtney denies banging Bieber, but sources close to both camp say it’s really happening, and the 36-year-old mother of three is just trying to save face with her family.

“Oh yeah, that’s definitely happening and has been for some time now,” a second source told the magazine. “Every time Kourtney and Justin are together, they’re extremely flirtatious. They text each other all the time.”

Hopefully it goes without saying, but we’re 100% Team Kendall on this one.

Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 7 Recap: Spit Take

So Lisa V. attempted to treat some underprivileged kids to the complete SUR experience on Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 7.

And you can guess how well that went. Meanwhile, Jax meddled in one relationship, while making a jarring request regarding his own …

Watch Vanderpump Rules Season 4 Episode 7 Online

James sat down for a meal with his mother at Sur, and she seemed delightful.  

We were finally able to understand the root of James’ rage, as he and his mother spoke about her impending divorce from James’ dad after 24 years.  The couple knew Lisa and Ken from London, which is most likely why he’s both bussing table at SUR and spinning them records in the DJ booth. 

However, for someone who is so lovely to his mother, you would think James would have more respect for the ladies.  

I understand that Kristen is coo coo for Cocoa Puffs, but that’s no reason to call her ratchet, tell her she’ll divorce even if she does manage to get married, and then spit on her door.

For shame, James.

Jax Taylor: I Banged Lindsay Lohan…And It Was Bad!

I’d like to say that I appreciate that Jax is sticking up for Kristen, but there’s probably an ulterior motive here.  Jax isn’t that nice or loyal.  

I wonder if Brittany brought her resume with her to LA this time…

Sandoval and Schmidt should stick to their day jobs forever, because they have no place in grown-up land.  

The Peter Pan syndrome is real with these two, who ultimately walked away from LVP Sangria as shot girls/interns.   They don’t want to work Mon-Fri, 9-5.  

They want to sleep until noon on a Wednesday then hit the gym!  

They want to be Bravolebrities and help promote Universal films!

Mmk, can we take a moment to ask Ariana why she is so damn cranky?  First Sandoval made a batch of cocktails for the dinner, and that did not please Ariana.

Then, Peter came over to invite Sandoval to his boys-only birthday party in Vegas.  This also did not please Ariana.  Not only because it’s a day after her own birthday, but because she hates male-only vacations.

“I get to sit home and do absolutely nothing.  That’s not fun for me,” she whined.

“I really, really hate heteronormative fu–ing bullsh–.  And you’re not going to tell me ‘this is a guy’s thing.  This is a girl’s thing."”

I’m not certain that Ariana used “heteronormative” in the right context, but she’s being very Stassi/Scheana about her birthday.

And that’s all she wrote this week. As always, you can watch Vanderpump Rules online to experience the awesome terribleness in full.
