Currently Booming: 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' Season 8 Starts Tonight!

Check out the trailer to catch a glimpse of what this season has in store for fans!

'Daily Boom' Quoted by 'Fox News' Again!

Gwen Stefani's newly confirmed relationship with Blake Shelton seems to be what everyone is talking about today. Fox News asked me to weigh in on the situation this morning and you can read my thoughts here.

Currently Booming: Gwen Stefani's Rep Confirms Romance with Blake Shelton

It looks like those rumors about Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton dating are true! The two were spotted looking very cozy at several Halloween parties last weekend, leading to rampant speculation about a romance blossoming. It seems that they had no intention of keeping things private because Stefani's rep did confirm that the two are "dating", despite it being a very recent development.

Stefani and Shelton have always been flirtatious when working together on The Voice and now the speculation about when their relationship really started has begun. The two are recently divorced and both Gavin Rossdale and Miranda Lambert (their exes) seem to have questions about this new romance. Supposedly the chemistry between Shelton and Stefani raised eyebrows to the point that Lambert confronted her then-husband  about his behavior.

Are you surprised that these two have hooked up? Do you think that it'll amount to nothing more than a rebound fling or could Stefani and Shelton actually end up together for the long haul?

Currently Booming: Jimmy Fallon's Partying Has NBC Exec's Contemplating an Intervention

While everyone seems to love Jimmy Fallon, not everyone is laughing about his recent antics. NBC's leading funny man has had three alcohol related mishaps in the last few months and various sightings seem to indicate that Fallon's drinking may have gotten a little out of control. He nearly lost a finger back in June when his wedding band got caught on a counter top and then he chipped a tooth while trying to open his medication. Another injury last week has many NBC insiders reportedly keeping a very close eye on Fallon's partying.

According to a report by New York Post, not everyone is amused. "It’s the party guy’s third injury in four months, and sources say NBC is worried that Fallon’s drinking has turned excessive. And while they’re not doing anything about it — yet — “It’s gone from being a whisper to a chatter,” says one industry insider of Fallon’s over-the-top behavior. The consecutive injuries come on the heels of a seemingly endless parade of Page Six mentions chronicling the after-hours antics of the host, who is married to Nancy Juvonen (co-owner with Drew Barrymore of the production company Flower Films) and has two daughters, both under 2 years old."

While the network has reportedly not stepped in with an intervention yet, everyone seems to agree that Fallon is a bit of a mess. He's relatively young in the business and the money and power at stake is huge so the comedian is reportedly dealing with things by leaning on booze. There are a multitude of stories out there about his hard partying but at least as of now it doesn't seem to be affecting his job. As some have pointed out, hosting The Tonight Show is a rigorous gig and Fallon has yet to drop the ball.

Do you think that his drinking is to blame for all of these mishaps? or do you think that Fallon just has the worst luck imaginable?

Currently Booming: Angelina Jolie Admits to Problems in Her Marriage to Brad Pitt

It has been a minute since we have heard anything from Angelina Jolie but that's all about to change. The actress will be seen next month in her film By The Sea, which also stars her husband, Brad Pitt. This project was a real labor of love on Jolie's part as she wrote and also directed it. By The Sea is set in the mid-1970's Paris and follows a dancer and her writer-husband on their travels. The couple is dysfunctional and many have suspected that it might be loosely based on Jolie's own relationship with Pitt. 

The actress is currently covering the November issue of Vogue and inside is an interview that digs a little deeper into the premise of By The Sea and also the state of Jolie's current life. 

Jolie told Vogue in an exclusive interview, "The director was very focused. The actress was unstable. And the writer was deeply confused. This is the only film I’ve done that is completely based on my own crazy mind.” For years, she says, she and Brad called the script for By the Sea “the crazy one. We even called it ‘the worst idea.’  It’s not autobiographical. Brad and I have our issues but if the characters’ were even remotely close to our problems we couldn’t have made the film.”

The fact that Jolie admits to their being any problems at all in her marriage is a bit startling. Celebs like to present the illusion of perfection on all fronts so to hear her admit to issues in her marriage is almost refreshing. Do you believe the characters that she created for By The Sea aren't based on her marriage? 

Currently Booming: Are Kourtney Kardashian and Justin Bieber Hooking Up?

Well, this is a pretty odd pairing, or maybe it's not. I'm talking about Kourtney Kardashian who was spotted leaving a West Hollywood club this weekend, with Justin Bieber. The mom of three went through a very public split from her baby daddy, Scott Disick last summer and has kept a pretty low profile, at least until now. While Bieber is close friends with Kendall Jenner and Kanye West, it still seemed a bit shocking that he would be spotted out with Kardashian.

Many are wondering if this is simply a move on Kardashian's part to try and make Disick jealous. It's likely not a coincidence that he was spotted at exactly the same club last week with an 18-year-old on his arm. It could easily be viewed as a tit-for-tat kind of move that Kardashian is then spotted out with a guy 15 years her junior, but why even go there, unless of course she still wants Disick back.

Do you think that Kardashian and Bieber are actually hooking up or are they simply friends? Would she be looking for a much younger guy for a fling or is Kardashian likely to gravitate towards someone older and stable, especially after nearly a decade with Disick's instability? Was this night out just intended to raise eyebrows?

Currently Booming: Is Jennifer Garner Pregnant?

Is Jennifer Garner expecting baby number four, in spite of her split from hubby Ben Affleck? Well, that is what the latest round of rumors surrounding these two would have you believing. While they are supposedly in the process of divorcing this looks to be one of the most cozy breakups ever. Even Affleck's dalliance with the nanny didn't keep Garner mad for too long! From what I'm hearing, Garner is NOT expecting another baby, at least not yet, but that doesn't change the fact that these two do seem to be attempting to reconcile.

While Garner and Affleck have often been spotted out together with their kids, just last week they shared a pretty romantic dinner date alone. They knew that the paps would be there to grab photos of them sans children and were okay with that, which leads me to think that they must be getting along pretty well and want us all to know it. These two know how to work and avoid the press and so every public outing is intended for us to see right now.

What do you think is going on here? Are Ben and Jen really on the road to patching up their marriage and keeping their family together? If they manage to do it, will it only be for the kids sake, meaning they're destined to fall apart again later on? 

Currently Booming: Ben Affleck's Dinner With Jen Garner Sparks Reconciliation Talk

(Photo: Twitter)

Could it be that Jennifer Garner is starting to reconsider going ahead with her plan to divorce Ben Affleck? The duo announced their split back in June and for several weeks were spotted together with their kids, looking more rock solid than ever. They had said that it was their intention to present a united front for their family and for once, it actually looked like a divorcing couple was serious about pulling off this heavy duty task. Then Ben got caught hooking up with the nanny and all bets were off.

It has been pretty widely reported that Ben would ideally really like to win back his wife. Ten years is a really long run for a Hollywood marriage and he is probably pretty lost without her anchoring him. Meanwhile, this break has likely felt like a huge relief for Jen after years of having to keep tabs on her man. When the nanny scandal broke she kept quiet but the anger was on her face whenever Jen was spotted out and about.

Supposedly Ben changed his phone number to prove to Jen that he was serious about cutting off contact with anyone that could be considered even a potential hook up. It looks like his approach might actually be working because last night Ben and Jen were spotted having a very public dinner together at NOBU in Malibu. While they have been seen in public together in recent months, it has always been with their kids. This dinner was a very adult evening out.

Do you think that Ben is starting to wear Jen down? Dinner in public certainly is intended to send a message because these two know that the paps are watching. Is a reconciliation actually a possibility for these two?

Currently Booming: Are Rosie O'Donnell and Tatum O'Neal Getting Their Own Reality Show?

You would think that with all that Rosie O'Donnell has going on in her personal life, she would want to keep a lower profile. Her eldest daughter just went to live with her birth mother, Rosie is locked in a custody and divorce battle with her most recent ex and she also is dealing with some reported health issues. In the midst of all of that, Rosie has embarked on a new romance with Tatum O'Neal, a pairing that many of her friends are reportedly against. Rosie needs some stability in her life somewhere and friends fear that O'Neal is just using her to get attention and if that's the case, well, it's working.

According to a new report by Radar Online, a production company has expressed interest in doing a reality show with the couple of only two months.  “Tatum had done a reality show with her dad, Ryan, and even though it caused headlines for all the wrong reasons, she loved doing it. Rosie, however, is very hesitant to do a reality show because of all the turmoil going on in her life. She’s facing health problems, an ongoing custody battle and legal issues with her adopted daughter, Chelsea. But Tatum has been pushing for the show to give Rosie a platform to reveal her side of the story." explains the source.

Rosie is known for leaping into relationships and making them super serious in a short period of time so this one with O'Neal isn't exactly surprising. She has even referred to the actress as her "new wife" after only several weeks together. Are Rosie's friends right? Is this romance going to end up a huge rebound disaster? Worse yet, will it be filmed and plastered on television as a new reality show? Do you think that Rosie will cave in and actually do it?

Kassie DePaiva Confirms Exit From 'Days Of Our Lives'

(Photo: Twitter)

These last few months have been nothing short of a whirlwind of change for fans of Days of Our Lives. The long-running NBC soap is celebrating its 50th anniversary on the network in grand style, by bringing back beloved characters such as Patch, Bo Brady and many more. The head writers have also been cleaning house via a serial killer, in an almost desperate attempt to bring the show back to its roots. Today it has been confirmed that Kassie DePaiva, a serious favorite in daytime television will also be leaving fictional Salem.

"As the sand runs out of my hourglass over at DAYS... I have no regrets. I had a truly remarkable experience there. From the beginning as Eve showed up in town and throughout her bumpy ride through Salem it has all been a good time for me. I got to work with people that I have admired for many years. It saddens me to have been let go from the show just as Eve was finally finding her footing… But that is the way the Soap business goes. Characters come and go just as actors, writers, and producers. Some we love... Some we hate... But fortunately for all of us the stories still go on. Keep watching and here's to 50 more years of Days of our Lives!!!" said the actress on her personal website earlier today.

While Days fans are actually happy to trade in some of the lesser-known actors in favor of seeing core family characters back onscreen, DePaiva's exit will likely cause a bit of an uproar, especially since it sounds like it was storyline dictated. While the actress has only been on the Days canvas since last year when the show had her step into the shoes of the once-popular character, Eve Donovan, DePaiva has been a force in daytime television for more than 20 years now.

Are you surprised to see that the powers-that-be have included her in the mass exodus?

Currently Booming: Are Beyonce and Jay Z Headed for Divorce? Rumors Persist.

It's that time again folks. Time for the typical rash of rumors to flare up about the state of Beyonce and Jay Z's marriage. While they were spotted looking pretty loved up while vacationing in Italy just a few days ago, many outlets are insisting that it was just another planned photo op to give the illusion that all is well between them. What we do know for sure is that Bey seems to be on verbal lock down because she hasn't granted an interview in over 18 months!

Some sources close to the couple say that the main reason that Bey isn't talking is because she is tired of pretending that everything is great in her marriage. There have been rumors for years that this marriage has been plagued with infidelity, primarily on Jay's end, and that it's hanging by a thread.

Last year there was rampant speculation that a divorce announcement would come by the end of the year but that obviously never happened. Do you think that there really is trouble between hip hop's royal couple? Or do you think that the rumors are just that and Bey and her man simply choose to keep things as private as possible?

Are Rosie O'Donnell and Tatum O'Neal Dating?

(Photo: Twitter)

In the six months since Rosie O'Donnell made a hasty exit from ABC's The View, she may have grabbed more headlines than she would have had she stayed with the troubled chatfest. Unfortunately, most of Rosie's attention has been pretty negative, between her going through a messy divorce from Michelle Rounds and dealing with a custody battle, while her oldest daughter, Chelsea recently ran away and was later found in a drug den. The most recent nugget has the controversial star possibly dating Tatum O'Neal.

According to Page Six, the two were recently spotted sharing, "an intimate dinner at Greenwich Village restaurant Da Silvano last month, and attended Broadway show “Hamilton,” where O’Donnell was heard joking O’Neal is her “new wife.” But O’Donnell’s spokeswoman, Cindi Berger, insists the women are not romantically involved."

While Rosie's team is denying that the two are an item, let's face it, this doesn't seem like the best time in the world for her to be publicly dating anyone. Her personal life is a mess and a big part of that mess involves her kids so bringing someone new into the chaos wouldn't necessarily make sense. Rosie is wise enough to know this, so do you think that she and O'Neal really are an item and simply not making it officially public yet? O'Neal recently said in an interview that she has been favoring dating women lately and she looked forward to a new romance. Do you think that Rosie is the woman for her?

'RHOC' Vicki Gunvalson Splits From Brooks Ayers Again

While the currently airing episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County show Vicki Gunvalson's relationship with Brooks Ayers being just about as solid as ever, we are now hearing that the on/off couple has split yet again. Over the weekend the former couple issued a press release regarding their split saying,

"After much prayer, thought, counseling, and consideration, we have decided to end our four-year relationship. We both wish nothing but a great future for each other. We have come to realize that one can indeed love someone in their heart, but that the time may come for their lives to take separate paths. Though the remaining episodes of Season 10 of The Real Housewives of Orange County will show us as a couple, the filming took place in January 2015 through May 2015. There will be no further statements or interviews regarding our relationship as we choose to move on with our lives. Though we choose to live our lives in the public eye, we thank you for your understanding and ask privacy during this difficult time.”

The two have been involved with each other for about four years with a few different bust ups along the way. In the beginning Gunvalson's family and friends made no secret of the fact that they collectively disliked Ayers and it doesn't seem like he ever made much ground in winning their trust. The couple supposedly reunited last fall when Ayers was reportedly diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer, something that some RHOC cast mates have claimed is a lie.

Do you think that Ayers was once again deceiving Gunvalson and that led to yet another split?

Ben Affleck's Ex-Nanny Christine Ouzounian Wants Reality TV Career

There's a reason why Ben Affleck's former nanny, Christine Ouzounian is popping up all over the place- she reportedly wants to extend her 15 minutes of fame. The woman that now finds herself smack in the middle of Affleck's relationship with soon-to-be-ex Jennifer Garner, is angling for a career in reality television.

Ouzounian herself reportedly tipped off the press to the fact that she and Affleck had gotten extremely close and while he is no longer in contact with her, the fallen nanny seems to be loving the attention that she has been getting. There have also been rumors that her stay at a posh Beverly Hills hotel and that new Lexus that Ouzounian has been tooling around town in have been paid for by Affleck through his assistant as a way to try and keep her quiet.

While the former nanny isn't saying very much at all publicly, she has been spotted out often in full hair and make up looking very ready to be photographed. She is now hoping that she can extend the fame from this scandal to a reality career in one of those 60 minutes shows like The Bachelor or Dancing With the Stars.  I guess she needs to think ahead, especially since her days as a well-paid Hollywood nanny are now a done deal. Do you think any reality shows will snatch up Ouzounian?

Lamar Odom Ambushed Khloe Kardashian Over Romance with James Harden

I have to admit, when Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from Lamar Odom back in Dec. 2013 I kind of expected there to be problems. I was waiting for that violent outburst or crazy confrontation that never came, at least not until this week. In spite of all of the reported drama and the negative press that these two were grabbing daily, for months on end they still managed to keep any hint of discord hidden from us. Odom watched as his ex dated numerous men and it never seemed to bother him until Kardashian decided to get cozy with James Harden. That, apparently is a problem.

So much of one that Odom hightailed it to a Beverly Hills SoulCycle earlier this week to attempt to have a real conversation with Kardashian over her new man. What happened once the two were reunited in front of onlookers seems to depend on who you ask. Kardashian reportedly refused to have anything to do with her ex and instead tore off in her car. Sources close to the reality star claim that she had no idea how Odom found her.

Of course, Odom is telling a different story. He pointed out to the press that he now lives in Las Vegas so to know where Kardashian would be, she must have offered up the information.  While he insists that he did nothing wrong some sources close to Kardashian say that she is contemplating filing a restraining order against Odom. Do you think that is a necessary step in this situation? Or is it more likely that she did mention where she would be, never expecting her ex to actually show up?

'RHONJ' Teresa Giudice Has Friends House Hunting for Her

Can you believe that Teresa Giudice has already been locked in a Connecticut prison for 8 months? Time really is flying, at least for us on the outside and The Real Housewives of New Jersey star is anticipating a December release.  That means that the reality star will be at home with her four daughters in time for the holidays, but where exactly will home be? The mansion that she has lived in for years is currently in foreclosure and rumor has it that her husband, Joe Giudice has been caught cheating yet again.

According to a new report by Radar Online, Giudice has enlisted friends to help her to find a suitable home for her to live in with her family once she's released from jail.  While Joe has been spotted looking quite cozy with a handful of different women since his wife was first locked up, it looks like, at least initially she does intend to live with him as well as the kids.

Divorce talk has surrounded this couple for years and perhaps Giudice is holding off on making any sudden moves because the reality is that once she is released from prison her husband will then be incarcerated for the better part of four years. That means that even if she wanted to spend quality time with Joe it's just not going to be a possibility so rushing to divorce is kind of unnecessary right now. Do you think that the Giudice's will eventually go their separate ways?

Are Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck Trying to Reconcile?

The break up of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck has kind of dominated the celebrity news headlines this summer but I wouldn't pull the plug on these two just yet. Even rumors and unofficial confirmation that Affleck had hooked up with their nanny hasn't been enough to make Garner take off her wedding ring. In fact, just yesterday these two were spotted shopping together in Atlanta and their wedding rings were both still on!

We know that Garner and Affleck have continued to live together supposedly for the sake of co-parenting their three kids but the kids aren't making them keep their rings on. They are likely doing that because in spite of it looking like the marriage is finished, something still must remain between them.

Almost from the minute that they announced their split the media has wondered out loud if there was a chance for real reconciliation between Garner and Affleck. You have to admit, at least as of now their actions seem to be leaning in that direction more than a clear cut divorce. Do you think that they will eventually patch things up?

Did Blake Shelton Catch Miranda Lambert Cheating?

Blake Shelton has always been the subject of so many rumors. If you listen to the media then he has probably been cheating on now ex-wife, Miranda Lambert, from the moment they met. It doesn't help that he actually likes the bad boy image that he has and there have always been photos of him looking inappropriate with various women. But what about Lambert? Would she have cheated too? Well, that's what several sources are claiming.

Supposedly, Shelton got suspicious because Lambert's behavior had changed and so he hired a private investigator that caught her cheating with an employee. Shelton confronted her after catching her literally in the arms of another man and then he filed for divorce shortly thereafter. Apparently, it's one thing to hook up with a string of young blondes but when your wife strays, well that might be a problem.

Shelton and Lambert's divorce became final the day that it was announced to the public and she seems to be struggling more than he is. Is it because she feels terribly guilty about cheating? Or is Lambert sad because she was really hoping that the kinks in their marriage would be able to be fixed and to realize the opposite has just gutted her? Are you surprised that these two have split? Tell me your thoughts in the comments below!

Boom Daily 80's Throwback- Timex Social Club "Rumors"

Back in 1986 The Timex Social Club seemed to appear out of nowhere. The blended hip hop with R&B grooves and created a sound that would in the early 90's become known as New Jack Swing. But in 1986, their song "Rumors" was a club banging dance hit that sat at the top of the charts in the U.S. on the Hot 100, dance and R&B Billboard charts.

"Rumors" is sometimes considered a bit of a lost hit but you are guaranteed to hear it at any party or club where an old school dance mix is being played!
