Andy Cohen is coming clean about some of the more contentious behind-the-scenes "Housewives" exits, including one couple who "went for blood" after they were let go from "The Real Housewives of New York."

In the new book "Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of the Real Housewives from the People Who Lived It," the Bravo scion said Alex McCord and her husband, Simon van Kempen, took their firing so hard that they essentially tried to undermine the show.

"[They] went for blood after we didn't pick them up. They became incredible thorns in our side," Andy said in the book, which is authored by Dave Quinn. "Simon left his job and started a website called BravoRatings.com, where he analyzed our ratings. He would live-tweet 'Watch What Happens Live' and troll my guests."

Oddly, Andy kind of admired the dedication of Alex and Simon, who were on the show for the first four seasons. 

"It was a brilliant — albeit seemingly time-consuming and not at all profitable — way to try to get under our skin," he said, via the New York Post. "Then Alex starts a vlog where she would critique episodes of 'New York Housewives' and talk about areas where she thought that production had gotten involved. It was unprecedented. I've never seen anything like it since."

Andy, an executive producer of the "Housewives," also touched on Carole Radziwill's unceremonious exit. 

The journalist was on the show for six seasons, ending her run in 2018. When Carole left, she posted a cryptic message to Instagram about being forced to do things that were against her "value system." While she didn't name the reality show, it seemed obvious that she was referring to "RHONY."

"Carole's post basically implied that she was leaving a really toxic situation," Andy said in the book. "It really rubbed me the wrong way because I really felt like I had changed her life."

Carole was quoted in the book, too, and she claims "Andy went ballistic" over her social media move, adding that she told him to never contact her again. 

For his part, Andy noted, "She is not the person I used to know."

Tom Holland only has eyes — heart eyes, actually — for Zendaya.

The Spider-Man" star couldn't help himself when seeing a photo of his lady love on the red carpet at the London premiere of her new movie "Dune." 

"Dune," he captioned a stunning black-and-white of Zendaya. He added a heart eyes emoji. Seeing this, Zendaya commented on Tom's post with a teary-eyed face.

The actress' response was so adorable that over 2,000 people reacted to her comment alone. Heck, Tom's swooning post got over eight million likes, proving fans can't get enough of the picture-perfect couple.

Tom and Zendaya were first linked in 2017 after starring in "Spider-Man: Homecoming" together, but they dodged romance rumors for years. They seemed to have split up somewhere along the way, as she was seen cuddling up with "Euphoria" castmate Jacob Elordi in early 2020, and he was spotted holding hands with Olivia Bolton in summer 2019. 

The duo clearly reconciled, as they were photographed kissing in July. The following month, Tomdaya, as they're affectionally known, finally went public with their relationship when attending their friend Josh Florez's wedding.

She also gushed about Tom to InStyle, saying there are "many things, obviously, that I appreciate" about him. 

"In an actor way, I appreciate that he really loves being Spider-Man. It's a lot of pressure — you take on the role of a superhero wherever you go," she said. "To the little kid who walks by, you are Spider-Man. I think he handled that so well. And seeing him at work, even though he's not a Virgo, he is a perfectionist."

The Emmy winner added that her beau is "very charismatic" and "can make anybody feel comfortable and have a good laugh and a good chat."

"Survivor: Fiji" contestant Michelle Yi was reportedly beaten and stabbed by a homeless woman in Santa Monica, California, on Thursday morning while preparing for an early morning pilates class. 

People magazine said the assailant attacked two people before setting her sights on the reality TV star at 6 a.m. 

Michelle, who survived the Oct. 19 attack, told the mag that she arrived for a pilates class, which she teaches, and noticed a disheveled woman approaching the door of the studio.

"She was yelling all sorts of things like, 'You stole my identity' and 'You're a prostitute,'" Michelle said. "Santa Monica has a homeless problem, and I've dealt with this type of thing before. So I told her, 'Ma'am, you can't be here. You need to leave.'"

Rather than leaving, the woman lunged at Michelle with a knife in one hand and a metal baton in the other. 

"She stabbed me in the left bicep," Michelle said. "And then she hit me on the right hand with the baton. My Apple Watch shattered."

The woman also hit her in the head with the baton. "My face split open, blood was everywhere," Michelle said.

The homeless woman ran off immediately after the incident but didn't leave the area. Meanwhile, Michelle and one student flagged down a police officer who was patrolling the area after they were unable to get help via 911. Officers quickly noticed the attacker near the scene and arrested her. 

Michelle, meanwhile, received stitches to her face at a local hospital, but no bones were broken.

"I can't say why she attacked me, of all people," Michelle said. "But she was a white lady who attacked three people that morning. Another victim was an elderly Asian man who was walking his dog, and the third was also a person of color. I can't prove whether it was racially motivated or not, but she was screaming all sorts of awful things at me. The facts are what they are."

 Michelle was a fan favorite on "Survivor: Fiji" in 2006. 

It takes two to tango, but it only takes one social media post for a scandalous rumor to start.

Over the weekend, gossip claiming that Olivia Jade Giannulli and her married "Dancing With the Stars" partner, Val Chmerkovskiy, were "hooking up" began making the rounds online. The scuttlebutt appeared to begin after a TikTok user shared a clip blatantly implying that Olivia and Val had taken their partnership to a romantic level. 

Because the TikTok user has nearly 400,000 followers, it didn't take long for the speculation to spread. However, as the buzz began catching fire, Olivia squashed it. 

"Hey guys, I just wanna clear the air before this goes any further or this video blows up anymore," the influencer said in an Oct. 17 video of her own. "First of all, the [TikTok user] that posted it blocked me. Someone had to send me this video. I'm just going to be super blunt and straight up, and just say that Val and I are not hooking up. We've never hooked up. This is a complete rumor; we are genuinely good friends and I adore his wife."

Val, of course, is married to professional dance partner, Jenna Johnson, who is JoJo Siwa's partner.

"It's literally just a dance show and we're just friends," Olivia insisted. "I don't know why everything has to be something, but I've already obviously seen a ton of negative comments."

Olivia, who's no stranger to negative press, conceded that online hate would be warranted if the rumor were true, but she maintained it's nothing more than a complete fabrication. 

"I'd get it if it was true, but it's not, so let's end this here and let's… dance and have fun on this show and not create lies especially when you also have almost 400k followers," she said. "It's not cool."

E! News reported that the original video Olivia responded to has since been deleted.

Don't call it a breakup, just a break! Jennifer Love Hewitt is going radio silent on social media for a while. 

The "Party of Five" alum told her Facebook and Instagram followers that she was going to take the rest fo the month off from social media, beginning on Oct. 18.

The actress, who five weeks ago gave birth to her son Aidan James, is getting some normalcy back into her life, but noted the value of self care — which played into her decision to disconnect.

"Moments to breathe and feel yourself again, even in small ways [are] so important," she said on her Instagram Story. "I am also started at least a week maybe two away from social media."

The mom of three continued, "I need to reset. I need to take my scrolling time and make it active time. Workouts, breathing, manifesting, time with my kids and husband. All of it. And social media makes me feel bad sometimes. Like I'm not enough. Doing enough. Getting my body back fast enough. Giving enough. All of it."

Jennifer has 4.6 million Facebook followers and 1.1 million Instagram followers. The "9-1-1" star gave up Twitter many years ago. Although her account is still active, she hasn't tweeted since summer 2017. 

She hopes that the reasoning for her social media sabbatical will resonate with someone else struggling with the same issues. 

"I only share this for that one person or maybe more today who need time. Just for them," Jennifer said. "And need to know it's okay to take it. And in fact the taking of that time will make everything better. I promise. Sending love!'

The 42-year-old actress noted that her two older children have been inspired to give up YouTube shows as a sign of solidarity.

"So one small miracle already, LOL!," she said. 

Lala Kent and fiancé Randall Emmett have reportedly called it quits amid cheating allegations and claims he lives a "double life."

Lala first indicated there was trouble in paradise when she scrubbed the producer from her Instagram and unfollowed him on the social media platform. 

Over the weekend, fans of the "Vanderpump Rules" star noticed that Emmett was suddenly absent from her Instagram feed. At the same time, she began vaguely hinting at a breakup. On Oct. 17, for example, Lala took to her Instagram Story to share a video of two male friends escorting her and her 7-month-old daughter, Ocean, through a hotel. Lala set the video to Beyonce's "Sorry," a song that speaks of betrayal.

Breakup rumors began swirling after pictures surfaced on social media that appeared to show Randall with two women at a Nashville hotel. Lala then liked a social media post that alluded to Randall cheating on her. 

"Randall always lives a double life," a source told Page Six. "He lives the life of a husband or boyfriend, and then he lives the life of a serial partier and then goes on a bender."

Lala and Randall began dating around late 2016. At the time, he was still married to Ambyr Childers. After his divorce, Randall and Lala got engaged in fall 2018, and they welcomed their daughter this past March. 

Lala has erased Randall from her Instagram before, though under different circumstances. 

"In a moment of feeling protective, angry, and impulsive, I deleted every photo of him, including the moment we got engaged. I felt what people were saying was so unfair and I'm the one that put him out there like that," she said in 2019 of the scrubbing. Then, in the summer of 2020, she archived their images because she was mad at him. 

"It won't be the last time I archive pictures of Rand when he makes me mad," she said on her Instagram Story. "I'm petty AF. It will happen again and again until I grow out of it & it's the most petty thing I do, I'm okay with it."

Lizzo got roasted online after a video showed her massively gushing over Chris Brown.

Over the first weekend of October, the "Truth Hurts" singer was captured fangirling over the R&B singer, calling him her "favorite person in the whole… world."

Chris, of course, has been viewed negatively by a large swath of pop culture fans since his domestic incident in 2009 with then-girlfriend Rihanna. In that incident, Rihanna required hospitalization, and Chris went on to plead to a felony assault charge. After that, he's had numerous legal entanglements, and he was even arrested in 2019 in Paris on rape and drug charges.

Lizzo fans have apparently not forgotten about these incidents, which is why many are disgusted by her words and actions, which came backstage during a stop on the Millennium Tour.

"Lizzo being that excited to meet Chris Brown has ruined my entire day," one person tweeted. 

Another said, "Chris brown wouldn't even let her in the club if she wasn't 'Lizzo' how embarrassing."

"Lizzo, my baby, look at me. LOOK AT ME. This isn't you. I know the real you. Listen, it's just me and you, okay? This isn't you. I know you better than that. Please," another critic said. 

Another commenter had more perspective, writing, "Chris brown being your fave person is just really pathetic BUT 90% of y'all faves including mines have worked with that man so don't act brand new with Lizzo."

Chris has collaborated with an impressive roster of top artists including Drake, Justin Bieber, H.E.R., Wale and even Rihanna.

RiRi has actually posted videos to Twitter with Chris's music playing in the background. Plus the two collaborated in 2011 on the song "Nobody's Business," which is on her "Unapologetic" album.

"Bachelor in Paradise" couple Noah Erb and Abigail Heringer are giving a crash course in love. 

On Oct. 14, Noah took to his Instagram Story to describe how an ill-timed kiss with Abigail resulted in him crashing his car into his own house. 

"Just took Abigail out to a nice dinner," he said. "We were enjoying ourselves, incredible experience, food was great. We hop in the car. We start listening to 'Annie' of all things. 'The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow.' It starts raining. The mood is getting right."

Eventually the couple got to his house and he stopped the car.  

"I look at Abigail and think, 'Dang, she looks really pretty,' so I start kissing her," he recalled.

Noah, though, forgot to do one very important thing: put the car in park!

"I rolled right through my grass and hit my house," he said. "Genuinely, [a] small little kiss turned into me hitting my house. I've never done that before. I wouldn't even think to do that. It's absurd. But here I am, letting all things go to shambles for a little bit of love."

Noah and Abigail met on "Bachelor in Paradise" and hit it off. The two would eventually split before reconciling off-screen. Noah and Abigail have openly expressed their love for one another on social media since reuniting. 

"You never know what you got until it's gone, then you never let it go," he captioned a touching video of their relationship on Oct. 6. "I love you @abigail_heringer, here is to laughing through life until we are old."

He added, "World, meet my new GF, turns out we do know how to talk to each other and I think I'll keep her."

Leaf it alone! Elizabeth Hurley's neighbors are fuming after the actress chopped down more than 20 trees on her English estate, but her team claims the toppling was necessary for safety purposes.

A rep for the actress said the 56-year-old beauty sought professional advice and obtained a license to chop down the trees from the Forestry Commission.

One upset resident told The Daily Mail, "The wood was full of ancient English oaks, and the undergrowth was full of wildlife including deer and badgers, and now many of the trees have been cut down and everything crushed to remove the logs. The noise has been non-stop for a week, while she's away on another holiday, and the remains of the wood now look like a battlefield."

Another livid neighbor said, "Logs are piling up close to the footpath. We'd rather the woodland had just been left for wildlife. The view of daffodils here in spring is marvelous."

Liz's 13-bedroom estate is surrounded by woodland. The home is also near several public footpaths, which residents and tourists use to watch animals. 

The "Austin Powers" star's team insisted the trimming became necessary after a tree fell on a neighbor's property. 

"Following a tree falling onto a neighbor's property from the wood, we took specialist advice from a qualified, tree safety specialist," the rep said. "After a thorough examination of the small parcel of mixed woodland, it was recommended that several trees alongside other neighboring properties needed to be felled for safety reasons. Within the wood there were several dead oaks that should also be removed to prevent any spread of infection to healthy trees."

The axing will leave the area in a better state for generations to come, the rep argued.

"[The tree specialist] subsequently reported that we should remove a few extra trees where they were affecting growth of neighboring trees and some ash that were affected by ash dieback disease," the rep said, noting the toppling was done after nesting birds have left. "Neighbors immediately neighboring the property were informed and one has opted to keep the resulting firewood. We received no objections."

"We have removed circa 21 trees and the money received, [about $7,000,] will be returned by replanting this winter and protecting the important and loved woodland for the future. There has been no bulldozing and minimum habitat damage," the rep continued. "We are happy that the operation has improved the health of the wood and we have secured the important habitat for the future."
