We can’t cover every news story ourselves. Fortunately, there are a lot of great sources for reality TV news and gossip. Check out these links from some of our favorite sites in the April 16 edition of Thursday Morning Tea.
Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola
Congratulations are in order for Snooki and her husband Jionni LaValle! The couple has a baby on the way! They are already the parents to son Lorenzo and their daughter Giovanna.
Jersey Shore Family Vacation viewers saw Snooki take a pregnancy test- before heading out to the bar- during a recent episode. She was not pregnant at the time, something she was admittedly upset about. Now, she just has happy news to share and she received a lot of support from her Jersey Shore co-stars.
Does a birthday even count if it isn’t documented on social media? No, not these days. Even reality TV stars are all about celebrating a birthday with an Instagram post.
Real Housewives of New Jersey star Melissa Gorga and her husband Joe Gorga celebrated their daughter Antonia’s thirteenth birthday with their whole family.
Kim Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and Kourtney Kardashian all gathered to celebrate Kylie Jenner’s 21st birthday. Kylie also kept the celebrations going with a birthday trip to Las Vegas.
After years of very public feuding, Brandi Glanville, Eddie Cibrian, and LeAnn Rimes all united as a family to support Brandi and Eddie’s son when he graduated from culinary school. This trio has come a long way from calling each other out in interviews and social media.
It’s always unexpected to see those three in one photo. Another surprising photo that popped up on Instagram was Jill Zarin hanging out with 50 Cent. She even captioned it with “Always a great time with @50cent.” Always? Have Jill and 50 been in the same room multiple times? What’s the story there? Did he buy a rug from Zarin Fabrics? I can’t help being so curious about the behind-the-scenes backstory on this photo.
After years of hating on Lala Kent for her private jet access, all of the female cast members from Vanderpump Rules caved and took her up on the offer to take a trip in the PJ. Yes, you read that right: ALL of the female cast members from Vanderpump Rules were on the same trip. Stassi Schroeder, Brittany Cartwright, Scheana Marie, Ariana Madix, Kristen Doute, and Katie Maloney all went on a girls trip- which was hopefully filmed for the show and chock full of some drama.
Other reality TV stars enjoyed the best of what the summer weather has to offer. Teen Mom cast member Leah Messer took her three daughters to the beach. Real Housewives of Orange County alum Heather Dubrow enjoyed some pool time with her daughters. New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice played on the beach with her youngest daughter Audriana Giudice.
Summer is the perfect time to travel, especially for your favorite reality TV stars.
Kourtney Kardashian has been living her best life on a boat in Italy. Southern Charm star Shep Rose hung out with Foo Fighters in London, England.
Shahs of Sunset alum Lilly Ghalichi shared a photo from the tarmac heading back to Los Angeles after a family trip away.
Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Porsha Williams, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Eva Marcille, and Marlo Hampton supported NeNe Leakes at her store opening in Miami.
New Jersey Housewife Teresa Giudice spent a day at the beach with her oldest daughter Gia Giudice.
No one loves sharing photos as much as a proud mom. That’s why it’s not at all surprising that most of your favorite reality TV stars shared photos from Mother’s Day. Some of them are moms and others just spent time with their own mothers. Did you even celebrate Mother’s Day if you didn’t post about it on Instagram? Apparently not.
Southern Charm star Cameran Eubanks celebrated her first Mother’s Day by rocking matching dresses with her daughter Palmer. Vanderpump Rules cast member James Kennedy enjoyed a Mother’s Day brunch with his family at Villa Blanca. Scheana Marie’s ex Rob Valletta shared a selfie with his mom. Maybe he even hung up a TV for her in under seven minutes as a Mother’s Day gift.
