Russell Armstrong's Mom Threatens Bravo with Lawsuit

Russell Armstrong's Mom Threatens Bravo with Lawsuit

Bravo is still reeling from the news that Russell Armstrong, estranged husband of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong, commited suicide on Monday night. Bravo has not yet made a formal announcement about when (or if?) the upcoming season of RHoBH (which had been slated to premiere Sept. 5) will air. But the network just got a strongly worded warning from John Anne Hotchkiss, Russell Armstrong's mother: "Better not air one frame of my son -- or else!"

Hotchkiss delivered the threat in an interview with CNN Thursday night, where Hotchkiss said that the Armstrong family was currently "circling the wagons." They have already been quite vocal about their feelings towards Bravo, and their feelings about their son's participation in the show. Wade Jackson, Russell Armstrong's stepbrother, told Radar Online that the family was considering a lawsuit.

"Bravo is at fault and somebody needs to pay," Jackson told Radar. "Russell's whole family was very close and they're considering suing Bravo... Russell's dad doesn't want to talk about what happened to him with a lot of people, but everyone in the family thinks that Bravo is to blame."

Suicides usually leave a trail of recriminations in their wake, and speculation began immediately as to what the root cause of Russell's suicide might have been. Was it stress from participating in a reality TV show? The impending divorce from his wife and the imposed separation from their 5-year-old daughter Kennedy? Or was it the knowledge that an alleged tell-all book was in the works which would reveal some of Armstrong's sexual secrets? It may have been a mixture of all of those things, but whatever was to blame ultimately doesn't change the fact that a 5-year-old girl will now grow up without her father.

A source close to the show tells The Hollywood Reporter that Bravo has decided to push back the premiere of the new season by "at least one week" to do some re-editing and allow the sting of the tragedy to subside a bit. However, the source adds that the network is unlikely to scrap the entire season.

Matthew McConaughey Joins Male-Stripper Movie 'Magic Mike'

Matthew McConaughey Joins Male-Stripper Movie 'Magic Mike'

The beefcake factor in Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike, his upcoming male-stripper movie based on the real-life experiences of Channing Tatum, just got a little bit beefier! According to Deadline, Matthew McConaughey, 41, has signed on to play a retired stripper who's now the owner of the club where Magic Mike (played by Tatum) works.

In addition, White Collar's Matt Bomer has joined the cast, which also features Hollywood bad boy Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four). In other words, there'll be pleny of eye candy for the ladies (and gay men)!

If ever there were the perfect meeting of actor and role, McConaughey's casting in this film is it. Known for his roles in A Time to Kill, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and The Lincoln Lawyer, McConaughey is regularly seen in magazines showing off his buff body, as he runs, swims, bikes, surfs and just plain exists. His penchant for going shirtless is even a running joke between him and buddy Matt Damon, who famously did a spot-on imitation of McConaughey on Late Night with David Letterman.

Magic Mike is based on the real-life experiences of Channing Tatum, who openly admits that he once paid the rent by stripping at an all-male revue back in 1999. When asked about it by Ellen DeGeneres, Tatum replied: "Look, I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed of it."

Apparently, he is excited to relive it, though. "This was a wild and pivotal time in my life and I couldn't be more thrilled to go down the rabbit hole with Steven," Tatum said in a statement when the film was announced.

Soderbergh has said that Magic Mike is going to be "sexy, funny and shocking" -- and, with such a stellar cast of hunky bodies on board, we don't doubt that one bit. As a matter of fact, we can't wait.

Exclusive Clip from 'One Day' Starring Anne Hathaway

Exclusive Clip from 'One Day' Starring Anne Hathaway

Anne Hathaway stars opposite Jim Sturgess in the upcoming film One Day (in theaters Aug. 19) -- and the 28-year-old actress perfectly sums up the movie's premise. "(It's) a story of their friendship and how it changes and grows over the course of 20 years," she says in this exclusive featurette.

Because the film chronicles the evolving relationship between the main characters, Emma and Dexter, over two decades, the stars and creators were faced with quite the challenge. "It was going to take a lot of changes and nuances from year to year -- through the clothes, through the hair, through the makeup," explains Hathaway.

Watch iVillage's exclusive video below to get a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the film:

Tiny & "The OMG Girlz" Perform For Macy's Fashion Show In ATL

In case you were wondering what Tiny's been doing with her time while her hubby T.I. is locked up, she's still developing the girls group OMG Girlz she started while filming "Tiny &Toya".  Her 15-year-old aqua haired daughter, Zonnique who goes by "Star", Lourdes who goes by LoLo, and Lolo's sister Bahja who goes by Beauty, all make up the group.

 

Pics inside of the girls and Cynthia Bailey and others in attendance...

Dream Kids Hair Care, in conjunction with Macy's, conducted The Runway Red "Wonderland Kids" Fashion Show benefiting the Show Me The Way Foundation Sunday afternoon in Atlanta. The third annual charity fashion gala featured pint -size socialites, mini-me movers and shakers and their "well-known" celebrity parental escorts.

Tiny's group the OMG Girlz put on their usual colorful looks and hit the stage to perform.

Tiny's daughter Zonnique rocked her aqual hair and accessories.  Sigh.

The guy Zonnique is hugging is her father/Tiny's ex Zonnie "Zebo" Pulins.


 

This multi-colored hair and colored contacts is...not for me.  But maybe the teens love it.

"Real Housewife of Atlanta" Cynthia Nailey was there to support.

Dondria and Shawty Lo were also there.

And Q Parker of 112 was there with his wife and cutie son.

His latest flick, “Crazy, Stupid, Love.”, which he stars and produced, has overall received nice reviews and let me tell you, the movie is funny and smart. Hopefully your crowd is as engaged as mine was ? clapping, gasping and sighing (in a good way, thanks to Ryan Gosling). Happy birthday, Steve! Wow, Madonna is 53 years old today. Madge looks incredible for her age, doesn’t she? Or I suppose some will beg to differ, as some think she looks quite scary with her bulging biceps. Oh whatever, how many 53 year [...]

Pics inside....

Draya rocked a cream Gucci off-the-shoulder draw-string dress while Jackie wore her Bebe maxi dress while out and about over the weekend:

Those flip flps on Jackie make it seem like they just came from the nail shop.  At least I hope they were.  I see certain folks are getting ahead of the game with getting the paps on speed dial.  This season ought to be interesting....

Meanhile, the Bravo chicks are kicking off a "Housewives" tour on October 1st.  "Real Housewives" Nene Leakes, Luann De Lesseps, Kyle Richards, Phaedra Parks, Vicki Gunvalson, Caroline Manzo, Lisa Vanderpump, Sonja Morgan, Jill Zarin, and more are hitting Chicago, Atlantic City, and Atlanta to kick it with their fans. 

The details simply say the Housewives are going on tour and fans need to pay $49 to come mingle with them.  Or $170 to walk a red carpet and have premieum seats for "the show."  What show...who knows.  Y'all going?
