ARIANA MADIX SAYS SCANDOVAL ‘DOES NOT DEFINE’ HER: Ariana Madix addressed the “scandal” surrounding her boyfriend of nearly 10 years, Tom Sandoval, cheating on her with their friend and Vanderpump Rules costar, Rachel Leviss, on the season 32 premiere of Dancing with the Stars Tuesday (September 26th). “My life has been a rollercoaster in the past year,” she said in a pre-taped segment before her dance. “Everybody got to watch it all play out and my life blow up on television, but my scandal does not define me.

JASON RITTER SHARES HOW MELANIE LYNSKEY HAS SUPPORTED HIM IN HIS SOBRIETY JOURNEY: Parenthood actor Jason Ritter spoke with E! News recently about how his “amazing” wife, Melanie Lynksey, has supported his sobriety. Ritter will soon be celebrating 10 years sober. “If she’s going to have a glass of wine or something like that, she’ll be like, ‘Is this OK?’” he told the outlet. “And it’s always OK. Some people are not OK about being around it, but she’s so thoughtful and really lovely about it.” Another “important element” in their relationship, he added, is communication. “I do feel like sometimes people fight to exercise some feelings that they’re having, as opposed to solve a problem,” the Freddie vs. Jason actor said. “If you can find someone who’s trying to also solve the problem—and not trying to punish or hurt—I think that’s key.”
