Explains

Mary Bonnet's had lots of success over the course of her career as a real estate agent ... and one of her proudest achievements is being able to give up drinking.

The "Selling Sunset" star spoke to Gurus Magazine and said her decision to lay off the sauce was part of a spiritual overhaul on an apparent healing journey.

Mary said while she didn't really have a "problem" with alcohol, she started seeing it as an impediment to her health and as a source of anxiety, even though it used to help her relax.

"Dancing with the Stars" fans, hold onto your seats ... because Tom Bergeron's coming back for the show's 20th anniversary episode!

The former host of the long-running competition series will return as a guest judge for November 11th's episode ... appropriately titled "The 20th Birthday Party," according to TV Insider.

Just don't expect Tom to hop back into his old hosting role ... he says he's happy to see Alfonso Ribeiro running the show these days.

Tom said his old habits as the show's host, which he described as "somewhat loose and unpredictable," will probably end up influencing his judging style.

Oh, and Tom didn't hold back about his excitement to see competitors battle it out for the Mirrorball, affectionately describing the show's environment as his "happy place."

Tom was "Dancing with the Stars'" host when it debuted in 2005, and he headlined the show for a whopping 28 seasons.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's been raising eyebrows over her perceived anti-Republican behavior lately, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez thinks she knows why.

FYI ... MTG -- the Representative from Georgia -- has been making out-of-character remarks lately, and some people have taken that as an indication she's moving to the political center.

New York Congresswoman AOC commented on Greene's new political direction during an Instagram Live session this week, claiming MTG has been eyeing a run for Senate in her home state of Georgia -- although it was allegedly shut down by President Donald Trump, reports Fox News.

Ocasio-Cortez said Greene decided to embark on a "revenge tour" in response to the presidential snub -- hence all the interesting public remarks about the government shutdown, Israel, and the Epstein Files.

MTG has made a name for herself for pushing far-right positions for years, but she's appeared to break recently with the Republican Party on big issues, including the ongoing conflict in Gaza, which she's called a "humanitarian crisis."

Still, Greene claimed she still had plenty of affection for Trump while appearing on "The View" on Tuesday.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott told New Yorkers to think twice about moving to Texas this week.

Abbott posted on his X account Monday warning folks from the Big Apple he'll hit them a whopping "100% tariff" if they decamp to Texas following Tuesday's mayoral election. The threat isn't really being taken seriously though -- how do you apply a tariff to a person? -- it's clearly a reference to President Donald Trump's ongoing tariff declarations on foreign country trading partners.

The British newspaper Daily Mail reports about 765,000 New Yorkers will "definitely" leave the Big Apple if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor of NYC Tuesday night, according to a poll ... and the poll claims as much as 25 percent of the population would "consider" leaving. Take those results with a grain of salt.

Julia Fox's choice of Halloween costume might have been embraced by her fans ... but  Jack Schlossberg wasn't one of them.

Julia decided to dress up as Jackie Kennedy Onassis -- Jack's grandmother -- for The Cursed Amulet's Halloween party in New York City on Thursday night.

We know it sounds innocent enough, but get this -- Julia opted for a version of the former first lady's blood-soaked pink suit Jackie wore on November 22, 1963, when her husband, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas.

J.D. Vance clapped back Friday at a deleted X tweet commenting on his recent statement he'd like his wife Usha to convert to Christianity.

The vice president spoke at a Turning Point USA event at the University of Mississippi Wednesday night and said he was holding out hope his wife will convert to Christianity. Usha was raised in a Hindu family, although they reportedly aren't religious.

Vance's remarks were not well-received by some on social media, and an X user shared a now-deleted post claiming the author had tossed his wife's religion "under the bus," according to The Hill.

The V.P. fired back with his own X post, calling the comment "disgusting," and claimed Usha had encouraged him to look a bit deeper into his religion a while back.

He wrote she does not plan to convert ... although he still hopes she will one day ... he said anyone in an interfaith relationship likely feels the same way about their own partners.

Vance claimed comments like the one he responded to were examples of "anti-Christian bigotry."

A British Royal Family shake-up continues ... Sarah Ferguson's going to be doing some house-hunting pretty soon ... because she won't be living with her former husband, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor -- formerly known as Prince Andrew.

ICYMI ... Andrew's being stripped of his title by King Charles, and he's also being kicked out of Royal Lodge, where he and Sarah lived for almost two decades.

A source close to Ferguson confirmed she'll also be leaving the Royal Lodge to move into her own place, People people.

The source said Sarah hadn't asked for any property for herself in recent weeks, and they stated the philanthropist will "forge an independent life" for herself.

Andrew has been the subject of intense controversy for his connections to Jeffrey Epstein ... he's reportedly looking to move into a property on the Sandringham Estate -- privately held by his brother, King Charles -- ASAP.

Morgan Freeman's received praise over the length of his acting career ... including a tremendous, intimate compliment from Diane Keaton.

Freeman heard about his late costar's opinion of his lip-locking abilities on Thursday's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," when Jimmy brought up how the actress -- who costarred with Freeman in "5 Flights Up" -- was really into his smooching skills.

Kimmel quoted Keaton, who said Freeman's lips were "so luscious" and their on-screen kisses "felt gooey and good."

Freeman gave Kimmel advice for kissing, and said "puckering" leads to tight kisses, while leaving lips naturally loose and soft is way more comfortable.

The late-night show host said he'd kissed Keaton on a past episode of his show, pointing out she obviously preferred Freeman's style.

Elon Musk isn't worried about autonomous vehicles messing with people's pets ... because he just claimed they'll actually make animals' lives safer.

Erika opened up about her personal life in a speech at the University of Mississippi Wednesday at an event for Turning Point USA, according to Fox News.

Erika told the crowd at Ole Miss she'd lost her "best friend" seven weeks ago when he was shot and killed at a speaking event held at Utah Valley University.

Vice President J.D. Vance has admitted he hopes his wife Usha will convert to Christianity.

He made the comments about his personal life in front of thousands of students during a Turning Point USA event held at the University of Mississippi on Wednesday night, AL.com reports from Alabama.

Vance's remarks were prompted when a student asked him about his wife's religion. He said Usha, who he married in 2014, was raised in a Hindu household, though her family is not very religiously observant.

Vance said he and his wife had always been open with each other about their opwn views, and he pointed out two of his three kids attended Christian schools before stating all three were being raised in his faith.

Vance said Usha often attends church with him, and he declared he'd like his wife to eventually convert to Christianity.

The VP acknowledged if she never got on board with Christianity, he'd be OK with it.

President Donald Trump must be glowing with excitement right about now ... because he just announced he has authorized the testing of nuclear weapons.

Trump revealed the vague plan by posting on Truth Social Wednesday night, hours before his meeting with Chinese president Xi Jinping in South Korea Thursday, claiming he'd authorized the testing to begin "immediately."

47 reasoned since other countries are testing their nukes, the USA should be able to as well. He offered no further details.

Okay, folks, let's get down to business ... some serious -- and literal -- monkey business!

Here's an overview of how the situation got so hairy ... and what to do if you come face-to-face with one of the escaped monkeys.
