'Flip or Flop' stars won't be paid for spin-offs

Since Christina and Tarek El Moussa scored a hit with their show, "Flip or Flop," HGTV has found a way to capitalize on their success by lining up five spin-off shows set in other cities. But when the checks start rolling in for the franchises, the newly minted exes who started the whole thing won't get a cut of the profits. TMZ reports the former couple knew there was no extra cash in the deal for them when the spin-offs were arranged. Tarek filed for divorce from Christina in January and has since been focused on spending time with his children. Christina has been less vocal than her ex about what she's up to in the wake of their split, but both have said they plan to continue working together on "Flip or Flop."

Caitlyn Jenner to launch new foundation

Caitlyn Jenner found a creative use for her 2011 Porsche 911 GT3 RS: She's selling it so she can start a foundation that will advocate for equal rights for transgender people while fighting bullying and discrimination in fields like housing and health care. "Out of the L, the G, the B, and the T, the T is by far the most neglected and the most underfunded. And there are so many great organizations out there that do wonderful work. They're on the ground. And they survive on literally no funding," she tells Vanity Fair. "One of my passions after going through everything I've been through over the past few years is to help and be in a position to raise money." As for the Porsche? "I had this Porsche, and I thought, What a great opportunity to sell it, hopefully get a good price for it, and then donate all of the money to the foundation as good starter money for the foundation," Caitlyn says. "And then we'll give the money away." In addition to her work on the Caitlyn Jenner Foundation, caitlyn is working on a memoir.
