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.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs' eerie favorite TV show revealed at trial
An alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs is revealing the embattled mogul's favorite TV show is a true-crime franchise. Combs' ex-girlfriend "Jane," testifying under a pseudonym in Combs' federal sex-crimes trial, shared in court Tuesday, June 10, the eerie TV show Combs allegedly counts as his favorite. Under cross-examination, Jane said that she "endured" nights in hotels with escorts because she wanted to spend time with Combs – bathing him, rubbing his feet, cuddling with him and watching his favorite TV show, "Dateline," until he fell asleep. "I felt loved by him because we experienced these things together," Jane said on the stand. Diddy trial live updates: Jane was jealous over Yung Miami relationship, said 'I'm not Cassie' USA TODAY reached out to reps for "Dateline" for comment. When questioned by Combs' lawyer Teny Geragos, Jane also testified that she still loves Combs to this day. Combs, 55, was arrested in September and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty."Dateline" features main host Lester Holt, the former host of "NBC Nightly News," and correspondents Andrea Canning, Josh Mankiewicz, Blayne Alexander, Keith Morrison and Dennis Murphy. The show also features Kate Snow, Craig Melvin and Meredith Vieira. The popular show also streams on Peacock. A centerpiece of "Dateline" programming is highlighting injustices and crimes perpetrated by men against women, which Morris discussed during a 2021 USA TODAY interview. Discover WITNESS: Access our exclusive collection of true crime stories, podcasts, videos and more "Dateline" mainstay Morrison believes more women tune in to "Dateline" so they can "know the lay of the land when it comes to interpersonal crime." Celebrities tell all about aging, marriage and Beyoncé in these 10 bingeable memoirs "That lays open what I think 'Dateline' has exposed over the years, which is one of the worst epidemics we have: the epidemic of spousal abuse, of women being harmed by men. And I hate to say it, but that's really the basis of so much of the crime that occurs," Morrison said. Holt also told USA TODAY that the show's stories are "relatable" because "you realize that people that do bad things could be across the street from you, their kids could go to school with yours." "A lot of the people in these stories were good people, up until the moment they weren't, or they were living normal lives like ours and then one day they became a victim of something really horrible," Holt said.

Brad Pitt Insisting Ex Angelina Jolie ‘Get a Better Grip' on Their Big Brood
Angelina Jolie's son Pax looked worse for wear during a recent night out with friends in L.A. On May 31, the 21-year-old was photographed being propped up by his pals as the rowdy crew made their way from celebrity hotspot Chateau Marmont to a strip club on Hollywood's notorious Sunset Strip, where they partied until the wee hours. At one point, Pax looked as if he could barely stand as he clung to two members of his group, wavering on a street corner. The Oscar winner's middle son is getting a rep for reckless behavior. At least twice he's crashed his e-bike while speeding along L.A.'s busy streets — without a helmet — needing to be hospitalized after a collision last July. (An insider tells Star, 'a lot of people have told him it's lunacy, that he must have some type of death wish to be so negligent.') For Angelina, it's a conundrum. 'Like any parent, she worries that Pax will fall into the wrong crowd or drink too much,' says the source. Yet the 50-year-old, a former wild child herself, has always prided herself on being a supportive but hands-off mother to Pax and his five siblings (she and ex-husband Brad Pitt share Maddox, 23, Zahara, 20, Shiloh, 19, and 16-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox). Now the source says Brad fears his ex is losing control of their big brood — revealing another bone of contention in their bitter split. 'He's insisting Angelina get a better grip,' says the source. 'But she isn't going to listen to him and his concerns.' Angelina doesn't feel like she has much of a leg to stand on when it comes to reining the kids in — she was no stranger to trouble as a young adult. In a November 2011 interview with 60 Minutes, Angelina opened up about going through 'heavy, darker times' in her life. 'Angelina used to restrict Pax when he was younger but now that he's 21, there's not much she can do,' says the source. 'Besides, she did plenty worse than he did when she was his age, so she's wary of coming across like a hypocrite.' She also brought up the children to be free spirits. They spent their formative years traveling the globe. In 2021, the Maria star — who once said she'd rather they focus on outdoor adventures than homework — revealed to E! News' Daily Pop that she was scared of parent-teacher conferences. 'I have a problem with schools because I was always in trouble in school,' she admitted. 'I have PTSD.' When it comes to Pax, there's not much Brad can do. Adopted from Vietnam, Pax spent his early years in an orphanage before Brad and Angelina brought him home in 2007. Among all of the kids, he's been the most vocal about siding with his mom in the couple's nasty, years-long divorce and custody battle. (The family unraveled after a 2016 incident on a private plane. Angelina accused a drunken Brad of attacking her; now sober, Brad has denied all allegations.) In 2020, he reportedly slammed Brad in a since-deleted Instagram post, calling him 'world class a**hole.' The source says the 61-year-old 'still loves him dearly' and believes the children 'have been given way too much freedom way too soon,' by their mom. (Until age 18, he still has legal access to the twins.) In another blow to the F1 actor, Shiloh, one of several of the kids who have dropped 'Pitt' from their name, has further altered her moniker. The teen debuted her new name, 'Shi Joli,' in a press release about a dance she choreographed for an Isabel Marant/Net-A-Porter fashion show May 29. According to the source, Shiloh 'is still trying to find herself. Growing up in the spotlight was tough on her and she found her parents' divorce traumatic.' Angelina is taking a backseat approach for now and hoping the kids find their way eventually. Zahara is off at Spelman College ('she's very keen to spread her wings and travel,' says the source) while Maddox (who Angelina described as 'smart … but also wild' in 2019) lives in Angelina's Manhattan apartment (she said in March all the children use it as a 'crash pad'). 'Angelina is happy for them all to try new things and thinks it's healthy for them to experiment. She has zero doubt they'll go on to achieve great things in their lives.'
