Patti From ‘Matchmaker’ Loses Co-Star

Patti Stanger, the star of ‘Millionaire Matchmaker,’ a show that appears on the Bravo network is losing one her her sidekicks. This seems to be a trend in reality television these days. Recently, Rachel Zoe, from the ‘Rachel Zoe Project” saw two of her assistants bolt from the show.
Maybe it’s a curse akin to the one that seems to target married couples. Married couples tend to break up after having their lives chronicled on realty tv. Well, anyhoo, back to the topic.
Patti Stanger’s assistant, Chelsea Autumn, has decided to leave the show and start-up a matchmaking agency of her own. She had worked with Stanger for nearly a decade, 8 years to be exact. Her new company will reportedly go by the name, ‘Queen of Hearts.”
Autumn is leaving the show because allegedly, Stanger abused her and gave her only minimal credit for her work. Her (Autumn’s) rep suggests that she may even receive her own show. Hmm, interesting. I applaud anyone who gets out of an “abusive” relationship.
If this is what she had been enduring for 8 years, I’m glad that she is getting out. However, I’m not too sure if I would watch her show. Patti’s show, on the otherhand, I can’t get enough of. She definitely has a television personality. Her show is always entertaing. I enjoyed Autumn too, alongside Patti, but I’m not sure if I would enjoy her show on its on.

Pauly D Won’t Do Celebrity Apprentice

Pauly D, of Jersey Shore fame, has turned an invitation by “the Donald” to appear on his reality television show, “Celebrity Apprentice.” Pauly D may have turned down the invite for numerous reasons.

He probably didn’t want to get embarrassed on national television. More people should follow this example and stay off of television shows that promise to bring embarrassment, and shame as well as those that will put them in a negative light.

Another reason why Pauly D may have said no is because he reportedly has been awarded a New Jersey spin-off show. According to sources close to the situation (not The Situation), he has already began filming. No word on what the show will be called or what it will be about.

“Celebrity Apprentice” rebounded pretty nicely. Even though they were turned down by Pauly D, they managed to fill his spot with the King of Crunk and perhaps Gangsta Grills, Lil Jon. Well, “Okayyyyyy!”

Steven Slater (JetBlue Dude) Sentenced to Mental Health Program

Steven Slater, you remember him as the flight attendant who freaked out on the job and dispatched the inflatable slide, right?
He supposedly was fed up with a rude passenger and bailed the plane via its inflatable slide, even though there were reports that came out later which refuted his claims. Well, anyhoo, he was in trouble and charges filed against him.
Slater faced the possibility of going to jail for seven years. Things worked out much better than that, well I guess, this depends on the person. Instead of 7 years in jail, he was sentenced to one year in a mental health program and ordered to pay $10,000 in fines.
He doesn’t have to pay these monies until after he finishes the program. Slater’s charges? Two counts of criminal mischief.

Teresa Giudice Might Not Return To RHONJ

It looks like Teresa Giudice might not return to ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey.’ The reason? Teresa supposedly wants more money and Bravo doesn’t want to give it to her.

Her desires are slowing up the contract negotiations and it appears that Bravo is getting tired of it. As evidence of their displeasure, the television station is looking for replacement candidates.

Reportedly, Teresa’s gripe is that she is not getting paid as much as her co-stars. She wants her salary doubled. If she is getting paid less then her RHONJ counterparts, she has a legitimate gripe. Her antics are as entertaining if not more so then her co-stars, minus Danielle of course. The problem with Danielle is that she took it too far. She could have gotten someone killed.

I really hope that Teresa returns. She’s hilarious! However, I hope she gets her life in order first. It looks like things are pretty tough right now. Well, on second thought, if she doesn’t come back, she wan’t be able to hoc her second installment of Skinny Italian on the show and the more publicity she can get, the better. She could use the money she made to help her family overcome their financial troubles. Oh well, it looks like a bit of a catch-22. Either way, I’m Team Teresa!

Tyson Sued with $25 Million Lawsuit by Paparazzo

A paparazzo photographer filed a lawsuit worth $25 million against Mike Tayson for a ruckus that happened at LAX airport a year ago on November 11, 2009. Antonia Echevarria has formally submitted the lawsuit at the Los Angeles Superior Court saying that he has suffered from a couple of injuries inflicted by the boxer.
According to him, Tyson also threatened him by saying that he will kill him. The paparazzi photographer stated that the boxer went after him at the airport, giving him injuries on the spine, neck, face, and a brain concussion.
During that time Tyson was on a trip to Las Vegas and was with his wife, assistant, mother-in-law, and 10-month-old daughter. After the fight between the two, both Echeverria and Tyson have filed for a citizen’s arrest on each other in account of misdemeanor battery.
The story, however, was different according to Tyson’s side. Shawn Chapman Holley, Tyson’s ex-attorney said that Echeverria was the one who provoked Tyson by aggressively following him and his family. The airport personnel tried to stop the paparazzo but Echeverria refused to follow the directives and even hit the baby’s stroller at one point.
As for Tyson, the boxer was pretty confident that the case will be properly handled given the number of witnesses they have.

Is Beyonce Pregnant?

Rumor has it that a certain R&B star and her famous rapper beau (and husband) are with child. The “Bootylicious” singer, Beyonce is supposedly pregnant with her husband’s child. She is reportedly three months along.
Well, the only thing that I have to say is that I’m surprised. I know getting pregnant is what is supposed to happen after a couple spends years together and is married but Beyonce always seemed to want to put the entire affair on hold. First, she wouldn’t admit that she was married and then seemed unwilling to have a baby for so long.
Now, there has been no direct confirmation of this news. Right now, it is just hearsay. Perhaps we will hear something soon but who knows with Beyonce we may not hear anything until after she gives birth!
