Season 7 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta started where The Real Housewives of New Jersey ended - with some of its cast in legal trouble. On its premiere Sunday night, viewers were able to peek behind the scenes at Phaedra Parks's husband Apollo Nida's sentencing day, just as they were for Joe and Teresa Giudice's fraud indictments. "Life is extremely difficult right now," said Parks, who took her two sons, Ayden and Dylan, leaving her husband alone on his day in court. "Apollo's actions are the ultimate betrayal … I thought he was a changed man." "The woman...

Kate Middleton covered up her baby bump with a cape while shopping around London last Wednesday. She also ventured out Tuesday, carrying her umbrella between stores. Kate's been all about retail therapy lately. She was seen shopping for maternity clothes in late January as well. Kate will now have even more options with her pregnancy wardrobe since Issa London released a maternity version of the iconic blue dress that she wore at her 2010 engagement announcement. The Duchess of Cambridge has been keeping a low profile since announcing her pregnancy in December, though she did make an appearance last month to unveil her official portrait at the National Portrait Gallery. She also celebrated her 31st birthday with family and friends at a performance of Cirque du Soleil's Kooza at London's Royal Albert Hall. Kate is taking a break from her royal duties for a while, though she is apparently planning to...

Kate Middleton unveiled her official portrait at the National Portrait Gallery in London earlier today. Kate, wearing a red dress from Whistles, was joined by husband Prince William and artist Paul Emsley, who painted the piece. The artwork itself features a close-up shot of Kate, softly smiling with her mouth closed, against a black background. Kate called the portrait "brilliant" while William called it "absolutely beautiful." Although William and Kate both love the piece, it is getting mixed reviews in the press, with some calling Kate's portrait "awkward." The artwork will hang in the National Portrait Gallery alongside other famous faces such as King Henry VIII. Kate's portrait comes just a few days after she celebrated her 31st birthday. The Duchess of Cambridge marked the occasion by attending a performance of Cirque du Soleil's Kooza at London's Royal Albert Hall. Pregnant Kate also got some good news yesterday when the...

According to 'E! News', Catherine - who was known as Kate Middleton until her wedding in April 2011 - and her mother Carole went into hysterics after one clown on stage bemoaned a stolen crown and pointed to the...

Our follow-up poll the next day registered nearly 2,000 votes and generated another 50+ comments.

Personally, I see the whole issue as being a nice little zeitgeist-y moment in how we...

Cruise and Holmes - who are separated by 16 years - posed with the Cirque De Soleil cast ahead of the acrobatic troupe's show KA, which kicked off at the MGM Grand Hotel in February.
