Latest split drama

"Flip or Flop" star Christina El Moussa has been less than thrilled with her estranged husband's actions since their secret split last May, including the relationships Tarek El Moussa has had with the duo's nanny and that same woman's friends, according to a new report. "She thinks Tarek is an absolute pig," a source told Us Weekly. Although the former couple still films their HGTV show, they rarely speak off-camera. "The mood differs day to day, but Christina avoids Tarek," the source said, adding that Tarek "does things to piss her off, like bragging loudly about sleeping with girls."

Nasty battle

Where do we start here? On Jan. 26, Robin Thicke temporarily lost custody of his 6-year-old son Julian after a judge granted his ex, Paula Patton, a domestic violence restraining order against him, prohibiting the singer from going near her, their son or Paula's mother. As if that weren't enough, she also accused Robin of abuse, infidelity and drug addiction. While all this was going on, Robin's lawyer alleged that Paula is being investigated by the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services for emotional abuse. This is as nasty as they come.

White House to Housewife?

President Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway is a busy woman and has given no indication that she plans to take her brand to reality TV, but there's an open invitation to go there from one of the biggest reality shows on the air. "I'm begging her to just consider a spot on the 'Housewives' [franchise] if she gets bored," Andy Cohen told Seth Meyers. "She'd be amazing!" Andy sees similarities in politics and the Bravo show. "I've been saying for a year — I've been calling all the [presidential] debates 'Housewives' reunions, because they were. There are parallels to 'Housewives' and a lot of things that happened during the election. There are so many." There's room on at least one of the hit Bravo shows should Kellyanne ever tire of the White House: This week, it was revealed that both Heather Dubrow and Meghan King Edmonds are leaving "The Real Housewives of Orange County."
