The USA Network must now figure out what to do with their long-running reality TV series Chrisley Knows Best following the shocking conviction of the show’s two biggest stars on charges of bank fraud and tax evasion.

As we’ve been reporting, Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie Chrisley, were convicted on Tuesday of federal charges relating to bank fraud and tax evasion following a three-week-long trial in Atlanta. The disgraced couple is potentially facing decades in prison. They’ll know that fate soon enough, though, when the sentencing phase following their guilty verdict takes place in early October.

The fallout from the shocking federal case is coming down too, even as the Chrisleys have already indicated that they plan to appeal. For one, those adjacent to the embattled Chrisley couple are starting to speak out mournfully about the conviction. And along with that, USA Network is scrambling to figure out WTF they should do with the second half of the ninth season of Chrisley Knows Best, which they had been planning to air beginning on June 23!

According to the Hollywood Reporter, USA “still plans to air” the second half of the show’s ninth season later this month even despite the federal court conviction this week. While reps for USA Network declined to comment to the outlet on Wednesday, the channel’s parent company, NBCUniversal, had previously announced the renewal of Chrisley Knows Best and another Chrisley spinoff series early last month — just a week before the federal trial began. So it’s been business-as-usual over there!

From USA Network’s perspective, it makes some sense. For one, they’ve already got the episodes in the can; a source told THR that all of this summer’s forthcoming Chrisley Knows Best episodes were filmed before the trial even began. And it also doesn’t hurt that the show is USA Network’s “most-watched original series,” according to the news outlet. Ratings drive decisions in situations like these — for better or worse.

Besides, Todd and Julie were first indicted on the federal charges back in August of 2019, and USA has aired at least 60 new episode of Chrisley Knows Best AND another 15 eps of the spinoff series Growing Up Chrisley in the nearly three years since that initial courtroom move. The news outlet reports that the family has not filmed the tenth season of their flagship show yet, however.

Still, if this is the way it’s been going on that network, well, why stop now? Of course, if federal prison is truly on the table when sentencing occurs in October, the reality show’s trajectory is definitely going to change… Just saying!

Reactions, Perezcious readers??

Johnny Depp likely has something to say about his daughter not speaking out during his defamation trial with Amber Heard – and is doing so through his art!

As you know, the 59-year-old actor won his high-profile legal case against Amber over her op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in 2018. And while many people have since been vocal with their support or not for Johnny, one person has not spoken out throughout his recent legal battle: Lily-Rose Depp. The 23-year-old actress has remained silent and relatively inactive on social media throughout the trial, leading many fans to slam her on previous posts for not publicly supporting Johnny in any way:

“Not a single pic of your dad! What kind of human being are u!?”

“After years you will be gone and forgotten and people will only remember you as the daughter of a legendary man.”

“Why you never post anything of your father.”

Big yikes! Although Lily has not come to her father’s defense during the court battle, she previously voiced her thoughts about the allegations against Johnny in a since-deleted Instagram post in 2016, writing:

“My dad is the sweetest most loving person I know, he’s been nothing but a wonderful father to my little brother and I, and everyone who knows him, would say the same.”

So it has been inneresting that she has not said a word about the case — even after his win. Now, it seems that Johnny has addressed her recent silence in several pieces of new artwork being sold through his NFT project, Never Fear Truth. In case you didn’t know, the Pirates of the Caribbean alum launched the venture in January, which focuses on his “friends and heroes” with the website adding:

“People he has known well, and who have inspired him as a person. Each image is an intimate reflection of their character in Johnny’s eyes; a portrayal of how they have revealed themselves to him.”

There are a ton of different images of Johnny, Heath Ledger, Tim Burton, Al Pacino, and even Lily on the site. So what does he have to say about the model? Well, some pieces actually feature various quotes written across her face reading:

“Silence. Exile. Cunning.”

Whoa. FYI, this line is a paraphrase from the novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, and Johnny has it tattooed on his arm. You can see one of the pieces (below):

Another old picture also says:

“Words become feeble.”

It is important to note that his 20-year-old son Jack Depp has not been a part of any of his NFTs, so this definitely seems like Johnny is calling out his daughter for her lack of continued support! Wonder how Lily must feel about this?

As we told you, Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are getting married today. It’s something the Toxic singer has wanted for YEARS now, kept out of her grasp only by the chains of her conservatorship. But now that’s over, nothing can ruin her big day, right?

Well… According to a shocking report from TMZ, someone did his damnedest — her ex-husband Jason Alexander!

Jason, Brit’s first husband — for about 55 hours in 2004 — was apparently livestreaming on social media as he tried to get through security at his ex’s home on Thursday afternoon. He claimed in the video that “his first and only wife” had invited him, but security wasn’t buying it. There was some kind of physical altercation, and his phone got turned off.

According to TMZ, he was able to get past that guard and into Britney’s home. Scary stuff!

It’s unclear if he was able to make it to Britney or Sam, but someone there quick to call the police as he continued to livestream inside the house.

After just a few minutes the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department responded to a trespassing call at the pop star’s residence, ultimately being forced to physically restrain Jason on the ground outside!

Whoa!

This isn’t the first time Jason has gotten in trouble with the law. He was arrested more than once just last year, including for DUI, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance, and once even for… of all things, trying to bypass security. That time was at an airport, thankfully, and not another wedding. He was charged with a misdemeanor and fined. That time…

Just this past January he reportedly pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking and violating an order of protection. The identity of the female victim was not released, but we can be reasonably certain it wasn’t Britney as this was all the way in Tennessee. The 40-year-old was sentenced to a year of probation — which isn’t even close to being up. So something tells us trespassing on the property of another woman, an ex-wife even, might have violated the terms of his parole.

Innerestingly, Jason has been quite vocal about Britney lately. In 2020 he attended a #FreeBritney rally outside an LA courthouse where a hearing about her conservatorship was going on.

Last Summer he spoke out about how she was being controlled even before the conservatorship — saying she was manipulated into annulling their brief marriage. At the time that seemed like an account to help us understand — but it kind of feels now like he might have been communicating how important she still was to him? And no one noticed??

We’ll be sure to keep you up to date on any more developments…

A new couple on the current season of Love Island UK isn’t sitting right with some fans!

In case you didn’t know, the popular reality series features several single people in the UK who take off to Mallorca, Spain for eight weeks in hopes of finding love on with their fellow castmates – oh, and the chance of bringing home a whopping £50,000 prize. Damn! Of course, there are a ton of shocking twists and surprises that happen throughout the season to test (and mess up) the relationships between the cast, including bringing in new lads and ladies to shake things up.

So unsurprisingly, the episode on Tuesday night of Love Island UK saw everyone (especially viewers) completely rattled by the arrival of a new contestant: Davide Sanclimenti. Why is that? When he joined the cast in the villa, he was given the ability to couple up with any girl in the cast. And in the first re-coupling of the season, Davide ended up choosing Gemma Owen, splitting up her recent pairing with 22-year-old master’s student Liam Llewellyn from South Wales. Davide explained his decision during the re-coupling:

“It’s not just attraction. Yes, she’s a stunning girl. We really had a good time and I would like to know her more.”

But there is one issue many fans have with this match – David is 27 years old while Gemma is only 19 years old! Many viewers flooded Twitter in outrage over the fact that a teenager was not only allowed on the show in the first place but that she was coupled up with someone who is 8 years older than her and in a completely different stage in her life than him. Even more so, fans were grossed out by the fact that Davide also expressed at one point in the episode that he usually dates younger women. Social media users expressed:

“ewwww i’m sorry but why does davide as a 27 year old want to be coupled up with a 19 year old.”

“Keep gemma away from davide. she’s a teenager and he is nearly 30 i am not here for it.”

“19 and 27 is a mad age gap … Gemma’s age means I can’t see her with any of them. Just feels wrong.”

“Please please please have a minimum age requirement of 21. I don’t want to see a 19-year-old kissing someone who’s pushing 30.”

“What will Gemma and Davide even speak about? What do a 27 year old and 19 year old even have in common? Pls”

“i find it so alarming that gemma and davide are together with an 8 year difference when she’s only just turned 19. It’s just a bit gross & no one’s mature at 19. I do think the minimum age for entering this show should be higher, there will be a difference in maturity”

“Some people have just missed the point with Gemma & Davide – it’s not just an ;age gap’. It’s the fact they’re in 2 different life stages. She’s a TEEN and he’s nearing THIRTY . I’d say the same thing if roles were reversed”

“As someone who was 19 and was with a 27 year old man, I can tell you that there is a problem with the age difference. You’re at different stages and on different pages at that point. Does Davide know she’s just a teenager?”

Someone also specifically pointed out how “utterly bizarre” it was to cast Gemma, especially considering how several former cast members have dealt with mental health issues after the show. Referring to contestants Mike Thalassitis and Sophie Gradon, as well as host Caroline Flack, who passed away by suicide, the person tweeted:

“When taking into account the potential risks to the mental wellbeing of contestants on Love Island as demonstrated through past events, it strikes me as utterly bizarre and irresponsible that the producers would this year decide to throw a teenager into the mix.”

What do YOU think about the age gap between Gemma and Davide, Perezcious readers? Do you think Love Island should raise the age requirement? Sound OFF with your reactions in the comments (below).

Kourtney Kardashian is fed up with how her storyline is being portrayed on The Kardashians — just like she had been fed up with the way things went down previously on Keeping Up with the Kardashians!!

Along with all of her sisters, the Poosh founder is an executive producer of the family’s Hulu series, which should theoretically mean she has some control over the content (and edits) of the new streaming episodes. But maybe the 43-year-old mom of three doesn’t have as much say as we thought??

Related: Here’s Why — And When — Scott Disick FINALLY Stopped Trying To Win Kourtney Back

In the newest Hulu ep released on Thursday, Kourt has a tense sit-down with longtime family friend Stephanie Shepherd. In their chat, the two discuss Kourt’s lovely love story with then-fiancé (and now-husband) Travis Barker. But Kourtney is clearly mad at how it’s being portrayed — or not being portrayed — on the show!!

The oldest KarJenner sister explained her concerns to Shepherd, revealing the series’ producers seem to be more concerned with Scott Disick‘s reaction to Kourt’s relationship than actually promoting the romance itself:

“We film and have the best time ever and we’ve been watching the edits and we’re just so annoyed because they’re swirling us in with this drama. Especially when I saw my engagement episode. Editors or whoever are taking it as, ‘Let’s take Kourtney, she’s the chosen one to be the drama.’”

Yikes!

In a confessional clip, Kourt revealed the sisters’ EP titles allow them to see early screeners of future episodes. With that, they are all able to give producers notes and suggestions to “make sure that our stories are being told.”

So when the first-look screeners came back focusing heavily on Lord Disick’s dramatic reactions to Kravis’ love story, Kourtney was not at all happy about it!

In particular, Kourtney referenced an episode that aired earlier this season and covered the time period just after Travis proposed to his now-wife on that SoCal beach.

In the clip, sis Kendall Jenner asked Kourtney whether she had any sympathy for her ex-partner and baby daddy, who had already been feeling left out of the fam even before the engagement. The scene devolved as Kourtney tried to explain that she wanted to focus on her future and not her past.

But according to the interior design aficionado’s new convo with Shepherd, the actual interaction with Kendall was TOTALLY different than the edited version eventually seen by viewers!

Kourtney explained:

“That night I wasn’t like, ‘God, everyone’s such f**king assholes for bringing up this,’ because it wasn’t a part of the night, it was like two seconds of the night. I didn’t even remember it until I saw the cut of the episode. It wasn’t like 50% of the night like it’s made to be on an episode.”

Wow!!

Well, reality TV editors are gonna do what reality TV editors do, we suppose. And yet it’s clear Kourtney is a little miffed by the show’s insistence on focusing on the Disick drama. Frustrated by how she’s being portrayed on screen, the star said:

“I wish they would take that out and put in the next episode, give us our respect, so it’s like, let us have our moment. I’m like, why is the fairy tale not being told? The true fairy tale that it is. I don’t want to be insensitive.”

We get it! The fairy tale is definitely a feel-good story! But drama draws in viewers! That’s not a new concept?? Just saying!

(BTW, producers did not put Scott’s reaction in “the next episode,” like Kourtney had hoped. It was right there with all the rest when the engagement went down. Womp, womp!)

After Shepherd suggested producers probably shouldn’t “harp” on Scott’s storyline “out of respect” for the Blink-182 drummer, the mom of three dryly quipped about her past relationship:

“It is all good, we’ve been broken up for seven years. I’m allowed to create new memories and new ways of doing things.”

That’s true! In a confessional clip following that caustic line, the new Mrs. Barker put it all out there, concluding:

“I am in one of the best places I’ve ever been in my life and it’s time for our show to catch up. It’s enabling this old narrative and buying into something that doesn’t exist. It should be an empowering episode about me getting out of toxic relationships and really having this fairy tale love story that is my reality.”

There’s no question Kourtney has a point in wanting to be allowed to move on in her life — and her reality TV storyline — YEARS after splitting from Scott. But also, Scott’s storyline is popular. Viewers very clearly want to see it. Heck, we cover it pretty much everyday! LOLz!!

So focusing on her ex in the new show just makes sense! What do U think, Perezcious readers??
