Garcelle Beauvais dishes on the romance in new film 'Tempted by Love'
Garcelle Beauvais chats with USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa about her new Lifetime movie, "Tempted by Love" and the portrayal of women on TV.
Dorit Kemsley is officially splitting from husband Paul "P.K." Kemsley.
The resident fashionista on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," 48, filed to divorce the British businessman, 57, in Los Angeles Superior Court on April 25 less than two weeks after Season 14 of the Bravo reality show ended.
The move follows multiple media outlets reporting that the former Beverly Beach founder's estranged husband was photographed kissing and holding hands with former "Amazing Race" contestant Shana Wall. USA TODAY reached out to reps for the Kemsleys. A rep for Wall could not be reached for comment.
The pair are parents to son Jagger, 11, and daughter Phoenix, 9. Kemsley is requesting legal and physical custody of their two children. Kemsley, citing irreconcilable differences, is also requesting that her ex pay her legal fees.
Nearly a year ago, on May 9, the Kemsleys announced they were taking a break from their marriage.
'Real Housewives' stars Dorit, P.K. Kemsley announce 'some time apart' from marriage
"We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage. We have had out struggles over the past few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together," the statement from Kemsley's Instagram story read.
"To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children. We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey," the couple said.
The Kemsleys' marriage storyline has been source of major 'RHOBH' drama
Kemsley first joined the cast of "RHOBH" as a diamond holder in 2016.
In 2021, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that Dorit Kemsley was the subject of a home invasion Wednesday evening in the city's wealthy Encino neighborhood.
The break-in was detailed on Season 12 of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and the robbery's effect on the Kemsleys' marriage has been chronicled during subsequent seasons.
The Kemsleys' marriage tension and split became the source of major drama on the most recent season of "Beverly Hills," which wrapped April 15. Last year's split news was announced a week after Kemsley's "Housewives" co-star and ex-close friend Kyle Richards removed her husband, real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky's last name from her Instagram bio.
Kemsley archnemesis and actress Garcelle Beauvais announced her departure from "RHOBH" in an Instagram post March 25, before the show's three-part reunion began airing. Beauvais walked off the set and has since unfollowed her fellow diamond holders Kemsley, Richards, Bozoma Saint John, Erika Jayne Girardi and Sutton Stracke.
Oscar nominee Jennifer Tilly and Richards' sister, the socialite Kathy Hilton, star as friends of the casts alongside the remaining diamond holders on "RHOBH."
Who is Shanna Wall?
Wall competed on Season 12 of CBS reality adventure competition "The Amazing Race" in 2007 and 2008 alongside her friend Jennifer McCall as the pair placed 7th out of 10 teams after their elimination in week five.
Now a certified sommelier, she was previously linked to "American Idol" and "Wheel of Fortune" host Ryan Seacrest in the early 2000s.

Delivery Driver Spots Cat—Doorbell Cam Captures 'Emotional Damage'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The internet is in stitches after a delivery driver asked a pet parent a certain question about her cat. Michaela Roxy Davies, known on TikTok as @michaeladavies12, came to the front door when she noticed a delivery driver dropping off a package. Along with Davies came her cat Lily, who is also referred to as Fat Lily, which led the delivery driver to ask: "Is she pregnant?" This question didn't come as a surprise, Davies told Newsweek via TikTok, "She's a big gal and always has been!" Davies responded to the driver that Lily isn't pregnant and instead she's "just really fat." The two of them started laughing, which was captured on her Ring camera and posted to TikTok last week, bringing in over 156,500 views and 29,900 likes. "He didn't say anything else about Fat Lily afterwards, was just taking a picture of my parcel," Davies said. "He was a lovely guy and found it funny." The end of the video included a close-up picture of Fat Lily. She looked completely unamused by the question, causing her "emotional damage." Screenshot from Ring camera capturing the moment a delivery driver asked the owner if her cat was pregnant.

"Not the delivery man fat-shaming your cat," wrote one user. Another commented on the picture of Lily: "The pain in her eyes!!! Don't worry girl, we've all been there." A third user added: "You leave her alone!" Cats' Weight While the delivery driver's comment might've hurt Lily's feelings, the truth is that she is not the only cat weighing in on the heavier side. A PetMD article from last year reported that about 61 percent of cats are overweight. It's almost impossible to say "no" to those begging eyes for another treat or helping of food, but obesity in cats can lead to health issues, including diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, cancers and a weakened immune system. It can also shorten a cat's lifespan. Every cat is at risk of becoming overweight, but the article shared that several cat breeds are more susceptible to weight gain. Those breeds include Persian, Manx, British and American shorthaired, exotic shorthaired, Ragamuffin, Birman, Sphynx, Maine Coons and Norweigan Forest cats. These cats often prefer napping the day away instead of playing. Plus, they can never turn down food. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? Send them to life@ with some details about your best friend, and they could appear in our Pet of the Week lineup.
