Now that Alex Rodriguez has split from Jennifer Lopez, he wants to be at his finest for whoever is next. Alex posted a side-by-side photo of himself from December 2020 and April 2021 and wrote, "Left the Dad-bod in 2020." It's the result of a $4,000, nine-week fitness program. Or maybe he was doing it all for Jennifer since, over the weekend, the two were spotted out to dinner at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles, where they had their first date. A source told E! News, "He doesn't want to give up on their relationship and is willing to do whatever he has to do." But the source added, "She still feels that their issues can't be resolved and that they should move on."

Jessica Simpson has thrown out her scale to free herself from constantly monitoring her weight. In an interview on "Today," she said, "I threw it out... I have no idea how much I weigh. Like, I just want to feel good and be able to zip my pants up. If I don't, I have another size. I have every size. I've really tried my hardest to not let that define me." This is why Lycra and yoga pants were invented.

According to radaronline.com, he wrote, "Shamelessness has become so normal in today's society that modesty has become strange."

"Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Erika Jayne's husband Thomas Girardi is facing new allegations he embezzled his client's money to fund his lavish lifestyle, according to radaronline.com. A woman named Christina Fulton said was awarded $924,300 in an injury case, but Tom only gave her $195,000 of it, saying he was keeping the rest in a "secret safe" and investing it on her behalf. Now that Tom has been forced into involuntary Chapter 7 bankruptcy to pay back his debts, she is hoping the $729,300 he owes her won't be cancelled by Chapter 7. But wait, that's not all! A young man named Joseph Ruigomez, who was a fire victim, says he is owed $11.5 million, and he got the same run-around from Thomas. A judge has yet to rule.
An interview between Wendy Williams and "Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta" star Joseline Hernandez went south real fast on "The Wendy Williams Show." Wendy had barely welcomed her guest when Joseline blasted her for not respecting her enough, saying, "I'm an accomplished woman and I just feel like every time I come to your show, you don't give me those flowers now.
And Wendy, you're 35 years my senior. I should get those flowers. I should feel wanted by people like you. Not just me, all the other young girls." She went on, and on, and on. Finally, Wendy cut her off saying, "I'm not proud of all [in the industry], and what I've been through makes me even harder on young women, like you can do better. Now can we get back to the show at hand?" It took a while for Wendy to get Joseline to stop ranting, with Wendy asking producers if they should pull the plug at this point, and then for the rest of the show, you could see Wendy was just not into it at all. It doesn't take a genius to figure out this gal's not getting asked to be on the show ever again!
Julianna Margulies walked away from a $27 million deal to stay on "ER." She opens up about it tomorrow on "Super Soul," Oprah Winfrey's new Discovery Plus series. As for why she walked away, Julianna said she found a sign in a book, "Awakening the Buddha Within." She said, "I opened the book, I closed my eyes and I [pointed to a line in the book]. And I opened my eyes and the line was, 'I knew I wanted to learn more, not earn more,'" She left the show in 2000 after six seasons. This is why I stick with fortune cookies – they give way better advice.
