Fertility struggles are no laughing matter in Andy Cohen's eyes.
According to a new report in Page Six, the Bravo scion was livid after Dorinda Medley cracked a joke at the expense of former "The Real Housewives of New York City" castmate Tinsley Mortimer about her desire to get pregnant.
The quip came over dinner during an episode of "The Real Housewives of New York City" in which Tinsley said she was leaving the Big Apple for Chicago to be with her fiancé, Scott Kluth.
"I've got a turkey baster — maybe try and have a baby," Dorinda said. Tinsley responded, "You just look like an evil, mean person."
Tinsley has been open about her fertility struggles in the past and told her former castmates that she's frozen her eggs.
Dorinda announced last week that she's leaving "Housewives" after six seasons. There have been conflicting reports about whether the decision was mutual or whether she was fired. Page Six has maintained the latter, implying that the joke was "the last straw."
The report adds that Andy, who executive produces the "Real Housewives" franchise, was "offended" by the dig — especially considering he welcomed a child via surrogate in February 2019.
Twitter unleashed on Dorinda after she made the joke.
"What if your daughter had fertility issues, Dorinda?" one commenter wondered. "Would you not be FURIOUS at someone making the comment you did tonight towards her for that? Where does your hate for Tinsley stem from? Do you even rewatch yourself on the show? Vindictive & vile behavior!"
Britney Spears claims her Instagram pictures are as fresh as a flower.
On Sept. 1, the pop star posted an Instagram photo of herself wearing an off-the-shoulder floral top with flowers in her hair. The images, she says, are a sneak peek at a floral-themed pictorial called "Just a Touch of Rose." The new pictures, however, are very similar to previous images she's posted. In a bit of a preemptive strike, she claimed it's all-new content.
"Just another sneak peek of 'Just a Touch of Rose' 🌹🌹🌹 ……. and to the peeps who think I'm posting the same pics …… well you know us girls …… it's the same top and same hair but if you look at the details it's a completely different picture 💋💋💋💋💋 !!!!!" she captioned the series of snaps, adding, "Psss first pic is the original ….. no retouches !!!!!!"
Less than two weeks ago, Britney spoke about her picture project while sharing images of herself sporting the same shirt and flower-adorned 'do.
"A sneak peek of what's to come with my mini rose shoot I'm calling 'Just a Touch of Rose' 🌹🌹🌹 !!!!!!," she wrote in the caption. "PS I'm not wearing any foundation here …… I'm just wearing some mascara !!!"
Throughout the month of August, she's made several Instagram posts showing herself donning that shirt — sometimes with flowers in her hair, sometimes not.
Britney's comments on Tuesday — and the fact that the images appear to be recycled — did nothing to slow online speculation that she's being held against her will, which has fueled the intensifying #FreeBritney movement. The #FreeBritney cavalry is convinced that Brit has been covertly sending signals on Instagram to indicate that she needs help. A swath of fans also believe someone else is controlling Britney's Instagram, hence the similar-looking social media posts.
Much like they did in 2019, fans are suggesting that Brit's conservatorship, which has been led by her father Jamie Spears for more than 12 years, is holding her against her will. Last year, the "Toxic" singer fanned the #FreeBritney flames when she told a judge that Jamie committed her to a mental health facility against her will and also forced her to take drugs.
With fans continuing to demand answers in the comments section of the singer's Instagram, TMZ reported in July that Britney is not being held captive but rather "struggling" with mental illness. The webloid said Brit's medication stopped working and doctors have been trying to find the right combination to properly treat her — but to no avail thus far.
Jamie Spears recently opened up about #FreeBritney, calling it "a joke."
"All these conspiracy theorists don't know anything. The world don't have a clue," he told the New York Post's Page Six. "It's up to the court of California to decide what's best for my daughter. It's no one else's business."
Chadwick Boseman is still saving lives, even after his untimely death.
TMZ reports that the "Black Panther" star's passing has sparked a wave of awareness and donations to organizations that specialize in researching colon cancer.
The actor, who was just 43, died on Aug. 28 after a quiet four-year battle with colon cancer. His death, however, has already had a tremendous impact.
The CEO of one colon cancer organization said the death brought on "the most monumental change" to how people view the disease.
Cindy Borassi, Interim President for the Colon Cancer Foundation, said her organization has received at least a 300 percent increase in donations since the actor's death and added that a "larger-than-life personality" like Chadwick could certainly raise awareness and help with a more open dialogue about the disease.
Anjee Davis, President of Fight Colorectal Cancer, told TMZ that her organization saw nearly $10,000 in donations after social media engagements and support following Chadwick's passing. The money, she said, will be used for research to help find a cure for colon cancer, which is the third leading form of cancer in both men and women in the United States.
If nothing else, she hopes the result of Chadwick's death will be heightened awareness and more people getting early screenings for colon cancer.
Sienna Miller and her rumored fiancé Lucas Zwirner have called it quits, a new report claims.
Page Six reported the split news but didn't give a reason for the parting.
The actress and the art gallery executive never confirmed their engagement, but a source said he popped the question last January. Shortly after, Sienna was seen wearing what appeared to be an engagement ring. She was also photographed wearing the same ring in July.
The couple dated for a year, but things weren't necessarily always on the up and up. In fact, Page Six reported that the duo "previously hit a rough patch before they purportedly got engaged."
While the exact timing of the split isn't publicly known, Sienna and Lucas were last pictured together running errands in July.
During the romance, the couple attended several high-profile events together, including Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling's wedding and a pre-Met Gala event. During that time they were "clearly deeply smitten," Page Six noted.
Sienna has previously been engaged to Jude Law and Tom Sturridge.
Hollywood's latest random reality TV star romance isn't a pairing most people would have put together.
TMZ reports that "Too Hot to Handle" star Francesca Farago is seeing "The Bachelorette" alum Jef Holm.
According to the webloid, Francesca — who in June confirmed she'd split from Harry Jowsey, her co-star on their popular Netflix reality TV series — met Jef about a month ago.

Jef, of course, competed for Emily Maynard's heart on season 8 of "The Bachelorette" in 2012 and was briefly engaged to the blonde beauty.
Sources told TMZ that Francesca and Jef were introduced through her close friend Casey Boonstra and, TMZ writes, "instantly bonded over their reality show backgrounds and sense of humor … and have been pretty inseparable ever since." However, TMZ adds, "We're told they haven't yet discussed labels … no one's saying bf or gf just yet."
TMZ posted some video of the pair together – they're vacationing with a group of pals in Jef's home state of Utah. Both have been posting photos and clips of themselves on social media partying on a lake. TMZ reports they're out on Jef's parents' boat.

Francesca will soon be doing a little traveling, TMZ adds, sharing that she's going to Canada to visit her family in a few weeks before heading back to Los Angeles, where both she and Jef live now.
Francesca's been seen out with several reality TV stars, sparking romance rumors — some true, some false — since her split from Harry including YouTuber Tana Mongeau, "Tiger King" personality Dillon Passage, "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino and "Love Is Blind" star Damian Powers.
Andy Lassner, the most visible executive producer on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," has admitted that the last few months have been "rough."
Following a five-week social media hiatus, Andy returned to Instagram on Aug. 30 to post a video with the caption, "I've missed my people."
"Oh look who it is. If it isn't Andy Lassner," he opened the video. "Well, yes it is. Your eyes do not deceive you. I'm back. I've been away for a little bit dealing with, you know, some stuff. You may have read about it."
"It's been a couple of rough months. But it's when we go through these things, I guess, when we learn the most about ourselves, and maybe even some growth," he continued. "But to tell you it hasn't been rough would be a lie, and I've always been honest with you. It's been rough. But I'm back."
There's no doubt that it's been a trying time for Ellen and her eponymous talk show amid allegations that she's demeaning toward staff and that "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" fosters a toxic work environment.
On Aug. 17, Variety reported that "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" had parted ways with three senior producers — executive producers Ed Glavin, Kevin Leman and co-executive producer Jonathan Norman — in the wake of ongoing criticism. Andy survived the producer purge.
In the wake of the show shakeup, Ellen reportedly apologized to her staff, saying she's "not perfect." According to People magazine, Ellen held a Zoom call with staff on Aug. 17, telling them, "I'm a multi-layered person, and I try to be the best person I can be and I try to learn from my mistakes. I'm hearing that some people felt that I wasn't kind or too short with them, or too impatient. I apologize to anybody if I've hurt your feelings in any way."
"Reno 911!" star Niecy Nash has married singer Jessica Betts, and she's also implying that she's taking her new wife's last name.
On Aug. 31, the actress shared photos from her wedding on Instagram.
"Mrs. Carol Denise Betts," she captioned a photo, adding ring and rainbow emojis and a hashtag for "Love Wins."
In the photo, Niecy, who was born Carol Denise Ensley, dons a beautiful wedding dress while Jessica sports an off-white vest and matching slacks.
Jessica shared the same image on Instagram, writing in the caption, "I got a whole Wife."
The marriage is a shock to many who didn't know Niecy was romantically involved with a woman. She seemed to hint at that on her Instagram Story, posting a photo with Jessica alongside the words "Plot Twist" and a rainbow emoji.
Niecy hadn't publicly come out until now.
The actress only recently finalized her divorce from her ex-husband, Jay Tucker, in March.
This is Niecy's third marriage.
Kid Rock and country legend Loretta Lynn had a little fun over the weekend, even appearing to get married (or at least engaged)… But there's no need to send a wedding gift because it was all done in good humor.
On Aug. 30, Loretta, 88, detailed the wild evening, which began with two of her friends renewing their vows. It ended with Kid Rock, 49, sliding a ring onto her hand while down on one knee!
"What a weekend! My Ernie & Crystal renewed their vows this weekend. It was beautiful and everything it should be. Marriage isn't always easy–heck it's not even always pretty, but love holds you together and you push through the bad days to enjoy the good ones. I'm so proud of them and wish them years of happiness," she wrote on Instagram. "Things got crazy then–my boy @kidrock was there and we've always teased about getting ourselves married."
"Well, the preacher was already there so we had some fun with it," Loretta said, adding, "Sorry girls, he's taken now!"
Loretta let the photos simmer for nearly 24 hours before copping to the truth.
"Well, it didn't last long, y'all but it sure was fun!" she wrote on Instagram on Aug. 31. "I guess I better get on here and let y'all know that it was just a joke— @kidrock and I didn't get married over the weekend, but we had a blast."
The country icon hilariously used the hashtags "Relax Out There," "Easy Media Folks" and "Calm Down."
Even more humorous was Loretta's response to a fan who asked about the honeymoon.
"I never said we didn't still honeymoon!" she replied.
Like Loretta sang before, "It's Only Make Believe."
Salma Hayek caused a mess while vacationing in Greece … but it was all in the name of "tradition."
On Aug. 31, the actress took to Instagram to post images and videos from dinner. The first image shows Salma sitting at the dinner table with an empty plate in front of her and a gold-plated olive branch pinned in her hair. A subsequent video, though, shows her slamming two plates onto the ground while others cheer.
Breaking plates is embedded into the fabric of Greek culture — some believe it symbolizes good luck, while others believe it keeps evil spirits at bay.
"I started the night looking #fresh, patiently waiting for my dinner. Six hours later I was breaking plates like it's customary in #Greece," she captioned the Instagram post.
The post was quickly liked by thousands of Instagram followers, including Jennifer Aniston, who is of Greek descent.
For several weeks, Salma, 53, has been documenting her Greek road trip with her husband, François-Henri Pinault.
"Love in the time of corona," she wrote alongside a snap of herself kissing François through her face mask while sitting at an outdoor cafe.
She later stunned while casually drinking coffee in a bikini.
Other images have showed her basking in the sun, hanging out with a street musician and dancing in the car to Cuban salsa singer Celia Cruz while exploring the Islands.
"Road trip in #Greece 🇬🇷 listening to the #queen @CeliaCruz 🌺 🎶," she captioned the video. "Long live #salsa! Have a dancing #Sunday!"
