ARIANA MADIX: BEING JILTED PAYS OFF
We could live quite happily without reality TV, but lately one cannot avoid hearing about the drama on Vanderpump Rules. For those who watch, here’s another juicy tidbit: Costars, Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney have grown even CLOSER since Ariana’s beau, Tom Sandoval cheated on her with their other costar Raquel Leviss. Fans of the show will know they’re close to opening their West Hollywood cafe, Something About Her. A Bravo insider reveals that their once solid friendship has now hit a hiccup – over MONEY. Ariana is raking in the dough since the scandal, with our source estimating she’s pocketed close to $1 million in endorsement deals in the past few months, while her BFF Katie hasn’t earned one cent. The insider says that Katie was hoping to get a cut of the pie, especially since they’re pooling their resources to open their restaurant, and it’s caused a rift in their friendship. As the source explains, Katie assumed Ariana would find a way to include her in some of her money-making new opportunities, but so far she’s been left out in the cold.

Was Tina Turner’s death something she took charge of? The iconic star passed away from a plethora of illnesses including kidney failure, but a music insider speculates that Tina orchestrated her passing on HER terms. In the months leading up to her death, Tina reconnected with everyone she felt was important in her life, from Cher to Oprah. The insider says that this went on for months. During some of these talks and visits she hinted that she soon planned to stop her daily dialysis treatments and pass away on her own terms. She no longer wanted to live connected to a machine on a daily basis. The insider says that while her last years weren’t the easiest, her passing was peaceful – she was surrounded by flowers, photos, her favorite mementos, and music.
