Former 'Real Housewives' Regular Sentenced to 87 Months in Prison
Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Thomas Girardi has been sentenced to 87 months behind bars, according to NBC News. The disgraced lawyer, who appeared on the Bravo franchise when he was married to Erika Jayne, received his sentencing — which included more than $2 million in restitution to victims — on June 3.
The now-86-year-old was found guilty on four charges related to wire fraud and embezzlement after the prosecution claimed that he stole millions of dollars from some of his former clients.
In August 2024, Girardi testified in his fraud trial.
'The last thing I would do would be to take someone's money,' Girardi said on the stand, according to Courthouse News Service. "I wouldn't think of it."
Months prior, Girardi was deemed competent to stand trial despite being diagnosed with late-onset Alzheimer's disease and dementia three years earlier.Jayne, 53, filed for divorce from Girardi in 2020. He was stripped of his license to practice law and was eventually placed in a conservatorship, with his brother, Rob Girardi, stepping in as his conservator.
In May 2022, Jayne shared an update on her ex-husband.
"I can only say decline and further decline. It will not get better," she told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. She went on to say that her ex was still under investigation at that time.
"They're still investigating. I'm not defending him, but I'm also taking care of myself at the same time," she added. "I saw Tom do a lot of good things for people so you think some of those people perhaps would be like, 'Hey Erika, how are you doing?' But that has not happened."
Girardi is expected to surrender to federal authorities to begin his prison sentence on July 17.

Machine Gun Kelly Admits He Doesn't Know His Age: 'Don't Know Many Facts About My Life'
The rapper -- who recently had a baby with Megan Fox -- also addressed the rumors surrounding him and Sydney Sweeney. Machine Gun Kelly is unsure about his age. The rapper appeared on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen on Sunday night, where Cohen mentioned how young he looked, before politely asking how old he was. "It's a weird thing dude. I don't know if my age... I don't know if it exists," the "Bloody Valentine" star -- whose real name is Colson Baker -- replied. A Google search showed he is currently 35 years old. "I just don't know many facts about my life," he continued. "Like my skin, if it rips open, it heals really quick. There's just things where I'm starting to be like, 'It was my Dad.'" MGK has opened up about his father in the Aug. 5 episode of Bunnie Xo's Dumb Blonde podcast, recalling how the latter -- who died in July 2019 -- once had to stand trial at age 9 for the murder of his own father. "The story that was always told to me was that their dad dropped the gun, and his head essentially blew off," MGK shared. "All happened in the room with my dad at 9 years old. So him and my grandmother were tried for the murder. They were both acquitted," he said at the time. During WWHL Cohen asked if MGK thinks he could possibly be "other worldly." "I've asked my mom, 'Was there any period of time you went missing, ever like a tall slender creature...,'" he hinted. "She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point." Elsewhere in the show, he was put on the spot during a fan Q&A portion. "MGK, Kyle P. wants to know if there's any truth to the rumor that you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends?" To which the rapper said in response, "Kyle P., shut up dude," before Cohen erupted with laughter. The pair were spotted partying at the opening of Palm Tree Beach Club at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas in May this year. The two were photographed in an intimate embrace and she posted a photo with MGK and fellow actor, Patrick Schwarzenegger. It made headlines, as the Euphoria actress had just ended her engagement to longtime partner, Jonathan Davino. The late-night show shared the clip on their official TikTok, where fans were quick to notice MGK hadn't actually answered the question, causing them to speculate even more. "He never answered the question tho (sic)," one user wrote on TikTok, while another added "So… that's a yes." MGK is the father of two daughters; Saga Blade, 5 months, who, he shares with Megan Fox ... and 16-year-old Casie Colson, his child with ex Emma Cannon. Solve the daily Crossword

Sharon Stone has worked with several iconic actors over the years, and she recently looked back on filming Casino with Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci. "Joey really, really fought for me to be seen and get the job. So I have a serious loyalty to Joey because he's always backed me," Stone, 67, told Business Insider about Pesci, 82. "It was always Joey and Jimmy Caan. They backed me since I was 19." When it came to working with De Niro, 81, Stone said that she "always wanted to work with" him. However, the opportunity didn't present itself until the 1995 film. "I had auditioned with him many times before Casino. It was my dream to work with De Niro and hold my own," she said. Stone was eventually cast as the glamorous and self-involved Ginger McKenna in the Martin Scorsese-directed film, in which her character caught the eye of DeNiro's Sam 'Ace' Rothstein.

"And I remember in that scene when he said it, how furious it made me because it was my dream to do it, and then he challenged me at the table." "I remember thinking, 'Oh, buddy. Not today, pal,'" Stone recalled. "He knew every button to go for with me because he is the greatest observational actor. He can crawl under your skin and get in there." Stone certainly proved that she's a capable actor in the role, and she even earned a Best Actress Oscar nomination at the 1996 Academy Awards.
