Sofia previously told Ellen DeGeneres, "I don’t have a dog, it’s not mine. Joe has a dog. It doesn’t even look like a Chihuahua, it looks like some kind of teddy bear. The dog was for me, I got it for myself, she arrived and completely ignored me. Went straight to him. She has taken everything that was mine. It’s not a laughing thing - it’s horrible, she’s taken my husband, my bed. They sleep together and I sleep on the other side. It has become something so weird. But I have to say it’s not Joe’s fault, she’s obsessed with him."
Naughty Gossip claims Meghan Markle wants to be a power player in Hollywood while Prince Harry doesn't. A source tells the website, “She wants to be a power player in Hollywood and this is not the direction Harry has desired to go. The avalanche of these rumors… what they’re saying is that they are taking temporary time apart just so that Harry can—Harry does not like the chaos of Los Angeles. He doesn’t like the pursuits of Hollywood. One of the rumors is that Meghan has her eyes set on bigger opportunities… I can’t imagine what it’s like to have so much pressure on you. The entire world is watching and they have had a lot of failures professionally over the last few years and that’s going to create tense stress in their household.”

We need to work it into a more significant narrative moment next time.”

Sarah Jessica Parker says she didn't originally like the cosmopolitans she and the cast of ''Sex and the City" drank on the show. Ace Showbiz quotes her as saying, "I never drank cosmopolitans. [I] thought they were terrible. The ones on the show were that kind of cosmopolitan that you later learn are not the good ones. First of all, ours weren't real, they were cranberry juice and water. One day someone sent a cosmopolitan over and it was opaque, pale pink, fleshy, you could see a little bit of pulp of whatever citrus had been used, with a twist, freezing cold, and I was like, 'Oh, this is a cosmopolitan. I get it now.' I would say I really started drinking cosmopolitans that I chose on my own and would order, I'm going to say like six, seven years ago and I love them."
The NY Post says Tina Fey is allegedly being courted to take over as executive producer of "Saturday Night Live". This would happen when 78 year-old Lorne Michaels departs.

Dear Fonseca,
My wife recently went to her doctor and was told she needed to lose weight. We both work from home and agreed to buy healthier food. The problem is we have a 16 year-old son in the house, who loves junk food. This isn't helping my wife. She sneaks into the kitchen and steals candy, cookies and chips. Her doctor bills are costing me a fortune. Yesterday, I went out and bought locks and chains for the cabinets and refrigerator. My son and I will be the only ones with keys and will control when my wife can and can't eat. I plan to tell my wife about my plan at dinner tonight. She won't be happy, but it's necessary because of her health and the expensive doctor bills. My two brothers say I'm headed for a divorce because my solution to her snacking is insulting. What do you think about my plan? I say it's 'tough love'. What do you think?
