Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli List Multi-Million Dollar Mansion Amid College Admissions Scandal

Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannuli have listed their multi-million dollar mansion where they had been “ laying low ” amidst the college admissions scandal. The couple, who could end up facing years in prison for their alleged involvement in the scandal, have listed their mansion for almost $28.7 million TMZ reported Thursday. Sources reportedly told the outlet that the sale has “nothing” to do with the scandal, but that the couple is “following Mossimo’s passion for architecture.” Loughlin and Giannuli used the property as collateral for their $2 million bail for the fraud charges, PEOPLE reported in March of last year.

Lakers Stars LeBron James and Anthony Davis Honor Kobe Bryant with Mamba-Inspired Tattoos

Image
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James appeared to debut a new tattoo in honor of the late Kobe Bryant , who died on Jan. 26 in a helicopter crash that claimed the lives of his 13-year-old daughter and seven more victims . In a short video posted to his Instagram Story on Wednesday, James, 35, revealed he was in the process of getting a tattoo on his left thigh. Though James didn’t unveil the finished design, photographers caught a glimpse of his new body art during a team workout on Thursday morning. Because the ink is covered by a clear bandage, it’s difficult to decipher exactly what artist Vanessa Aurelia tattoed on the three-time NBA champion. Photos appear to show a snake, in reference to Bryant’s “Black Mamba“ nickname, along with the words, “Mamba 4 Life.” Meanwhile, Lakers star Anthony Davis also shared a video of himself receiving a similar tattoo from Aurelia, but he, too, hasn’t revealed what he received. Aurelia did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comm...

Teresa Giudice says she and her ex-boyfriend Tony Delorenzo have a purely platonic relationship — despite the fact that he sent her a shirtless selfie. During a dinner with fellow Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, and Jackie Goldschneider on Wednesday’s episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, the mother of four insisted that she and Delorenzo are just pals. “He’s my friend,” insisted Teresa, 47. But after Goldschneider asked if Delorenzo was good looking, Teresa passed around a selfie he’d snapped as he posed shirtless in the mirror, showing off his fit physique. “Yes, he is,” Teresa said, before passing around the pic of Delorenzo’s abs she said he sent her. “Did he send that to you? This is making me uncomfortable for some reason! Teresa, put the phone away!” Gorga said, noting that it was strange seeing Teresa with anyone other than her now-estranged husband, Joe Giudice . “I’m so used to seeing her married and with Joe. To even see her talk about another guy or flirt, ...

Stassi Schroeder is getting real about her wedding plans . The Vanderpump Rules star, 31, opened up about the trials and tribulations of planning her upcoming nuptials with fiancé Beau Clark in a guest column for Glamour published on Wednesday, revealing that her initial plans of having no bridesmaids at the ceremony weren’t well-received by some of her friends. “I never wanted to have bridesmaids. I love weddings, I love my friends, and I love being in my friends’ weddings, but I’ve always thought that having bridesmaids means more stress for the bride,” she began. “So when I got engaged to my fiancé, Beau, I thought, Why add extra work for myself? My friends will be at my wedding no matter what.” She continued, “When I told my friends that I didn’t want to have bridesmaids, though, they were livid. They were like, “Abso-f—ing-lutely not. We love you, and this means more to us than it does to you. If you don’t do bridesmaids, we’re going to kill you.” RELATED: Stassi Schr...
