Heather Dubrow has been hyping up Season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, teasing lots of drama to come.
While that’s become a common claim from cast members this time Fancy Pants might be on to something.
She confirmed that although they wrapped filming Season 18 a few weeks ago, so why were the Bravo cameras back up a few days ago?
Heather teased that something “so crazy” occurred and, as is known to happen sometimes, the producers wanted to capture the cast’s reaction in real time.
However, this incident wasn’t the only drama viewers will see this season. Heather said there will be more than enough to keep Rhoc fans entertained.
We’ve already heard snippets of an altercation between Tamra Judge and Shannon Beador, but there’s much more in store for viewers.

In what could have easily been the next season of “American Crime Story,” Lionsgate Television is diving into the gambling scandal that’s rocked Major League Baseball since March.
Lionsgate is developing a scripted series about how Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, became the subject of massive fraud and theft at the hands of his longtime interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. Just days ago, Mizuhara agreed to plead guilty to accusations he stole almost $17 million from Ohtani to pay off gambling debts.
Scott Delman (“Station Eleven”) will produce along with Albert Chen, a former senior editor with Sports Illustrated, MLB Network contributor, and the writer of “Billion Dollar Fantasy” about the battle between gambling apps DraftKings and FanDuel. No platform or creative talent is being announced at this stage. Executive Max Elins is overseeing the project for Lionsgate Television.

The gambling scandal surrounding LA Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani’s interpreter is already getting the TV series treatment.
Lionsgate Television is in early development on a series focused on the scandal. No writer or network is currently attached to the project, but Scott Delman and Albert Chen are both attached to produce. Executive Max Elins is overseeing the project for Lionsgate Television, while Bryan Weiser negotiated the deal.
Ohtani made headlines the world over when he signed a 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The star pitcher and designated hitter had for years been working with interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, but just one day into the 2024 MLB season, it was revealed that Mizuhara had stolen nearly $17 million from Ohtani to cover gambling debts. He was immediately fired and later turned himself in to federal authorities. It was just reported that he has plead guilty to bank and tax fraud charges.

The mother of all reunions is not over yet: Chuck Lorre said at Deadline’s Contenders TV on Sunday that Charlie Sheen will return for a cameo (or two?) in season 2 of Max’s Bookie.
The former star of Two and a Half Men showed up in season one as himself in the Sebastian Maniscalco comedy. The reunion almost upstaged the comedy itself, which follows bookie Danny (Maniscalco) as he and his partner, former NFL star Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), romp around Los Angeles trying to keep their illegal sports betting operation in play.
“I’ve always been an admirer of his work. His work is impeccable,” Lorre told the audience. “After all this time, his chops are undiminished. It was an extraordinary experience to put everything behind us and work together again.”

Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter of Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani, has been charged with bank fraud after allegedly stealing $16 million from his former employer. U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada announced the federal charge on Thursday.
The federal complaint lays out that Mizuhara placed around 19,000 wagers between Dec. 2021 and Jan. 2024, that he won around $142 million on these wagers while losing around $182 million — meaning he was around $40 million in the hole. The complaint adds that the records do not show any bets on baseball games.

Nearly three weeks after Major League Baseball opened an investigation into illegal gambling and theft allegations against Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara is reportedly negotiating a guilty plea to the purported theft, according to the New York Times.
The Nyt, which cites three people briefed on the matter, described the probe into the accusations as “rapidly nearing a conclusion.” Federal prosecutors found evidence that Mizuhara may have stolen more than the initial $4.5 million reported last month, per the Nyt, which adds that investigators believe they have...

As the Dodgers’ first year with Shohei Ohtani brings a new wave of fans to Vin Scully Avenue, tour guides at the nearly 62-year-old stadium have voted to unionize.
During a National Labor Relations Board election on Tuesday afternoon, 18 tour guides voted “yes” to unionize and 12 voted against. As a result, pending Nlrb certification of the election results, a group of nearly 40 tour guides, tour leads and one plant data collector (a.k.a. the guide of the stadium’s “garden tour”) will join IATSE B-192, a growing Local that represents fellow tour guides at Universal Studios Hollywood and ushers at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre. Since the Dodger Stadium group went public with their unionization drive, more tour guides have been hired and will ultimately be included in the union, according IATSE B-192.

Major League Baseball has the precise problem it doesn’t want to have right now. Shohei Ohtani, the Japanese two-way superstar who is the most interesting baseball player in modern memory, is at the center of a gambling scandal. The gist of what’s known: someone wired $4.5 million from Ohtani’s bank account to a sports betting operation run by Matthew Bowyer, an Orange County bookmaker whose operations have attracted the attention of the FBI.

Updated: Shohei Otani spoke out Monday for the first time after his former interpreter was accused of stealing millions from the Los Angeles Dodgers star’s account to place bets with an alleged bookmaker who is under federal investigation.
Otani addressed the media at a press conference at Dodger Stadium.
“I am very saddened and shocked someone whom I trusted has done this,” Otani said seated next to Will Ireton, the team’s manager of performance operations, who translated. “Ippei has been stealing money from my account and has been telling lies,” Ohtani said. “I never bet on sports or have willfully sent money to the bookmaker.”
Ohtani repeatedly stressed he was never knowingly involved in gambling. He did not provide any details on how interpreter Ippei Mizuhara was able to steal money from Ohtani’s accounts to pay his gambling debts.

Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani issued his first public comments since he became embroiled in a betting scandal involving his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara. The athlete said he was “saddened and shocked” by the illegal gambling allegations against his longtime interpreter Ippei Mizuhara, and denied placing bets on sports.
With his new interpreter Will Ireton by his side, Ohtani said that he did not discover Mizuhara’s gambling addiction until after a postgame clubhouse meeting in Korea last Wednesday.

The Internal Revenue Service has confirmed that alleged bookmaker Mathew Bowyer and former Shohei Ohtani translator Ippei Mizuhara are now being criminally investigated, according to the Associated Press.
The news comes as media organizations are uncovering discrepancies in Mizuhara’s background claims. These are important because his story on why money was transferred from Ohtani’s accounts to alleged bookmaker Bowyer changed after news broke, thus creating doubts on his veracity.
As the story stands now, $4.5 million was transferred from Ohtani’s accounts to Bowyer. Mizuhara originally said Ohtani was helping him cover his gambling debts out of friendship. That story, which emerged in an interview with ESPN, was later retracted. Now, Ohtani’s lawyers claim the money was stolen without Ohtani’s knowledge in a “massive theft.”

Major League Baseball has announced a formal investigation into L.A. Dodger star Shohei Ohtani’s role in a gambling scandal involving his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara.
Earlier this week, Mizuhara was fired by the Dodgers after it came to light that at least $4.5 million in wire transfers was sent from Ohtani’s bank account to an alleged bookmaking operation that is under federal investigation.
Things became complicated after Ohtani’s handlers allowed Mizuhara to grant an interview to ESPN. In that interview, Mizuhara said Ohtani had paid off his interpreter’s gambling debts with the transfers. However, the handlers then disavowed that interview, and Ohtani’s attorneys said the slugger had been the victim of a “massive theft” of the funds.
How that happened remains a mystery.

Jimmy Kimmel has had it with all the Kate Middleton conspiracy theories and undue attention, urging the press and public to “leave this woman alone” during his opening monologue last night.
“We finally got a royal update on Kate Middleton,” Kimmel said during the opening of last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! on ABC. “There’s a very simple explanation for Kate Middleton’s whereabouts: She’s been working from home. How does a princess work from home? ‘I’m just going to stay in and wave at people?’”
Kimmel’s monologue then took on a slightly more serious tone. “Maybe it’s because I’m American but I don’t understand the craziness around this. Why do we have to know where she is? It’s not like she’s the bus driver. She had an operation. She had abdominal surgery, maybe she has a colostomy bag and doesn...

Shohei Ohtani is arguably the best baseball player in the world. He may also be the worst judge of character in the world, as a major probe into the transfer of millions of his funds to an alleged illegal bookie under federal investigation has begun.
This week, the Dodgers split two games with the San Diego Padres in a visit to Seoul, South Korea. But given the scandal that has erupted around Ohtani – not to mention the poor debut of $325 million pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto in his first game – the chaos makes it seem as though the Dodgers were big losers on this trip.
The story on what happened and who did what keeps changing. At first, Ohtani’s interpreter and right-hand man, Ippei Mizuhara, confessed to a gambling problem and claimed his friend Ohtani paid off his debts.
But that story has been tossed, and Ohtani’s lawyers now say...

The Los Angeles Dodgers have parted ways with Ippei Mizuhara, who served as new star pitcher Shohei Ohtani‘s interpreter.
It was just revealed that the interpreter has reportedly been fired by the organization amid allegations of “at least $4.5 million in wire transfers” from Shohei‘s bank account, according to ESPN.

The sports broadcast company reports that the wire transfers were sent from Shohei‘s account to a Southern California bookmaking operation, noting that Ippei incurred gambling debts from the operation, which is under federal investigation.

While MLB opening day in the U.S. is still over a week away, there are two big games happening on the other side of the world. The Seoul Series is a two-game set between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres at Gocheok SkyDome in Seoul, South Korea, March 20-21. They’re both regular-season games and count in the standings. The Dodgers made the biggest splash in the offseason by signing two-time American League Mvp Shohei Ohtani to a $700 million deal. They followed that up by adding Japanese right-handed pitching phenom Yoshinobu Yamamoto and his nasty curveball. After winning 100 games last year, it’s World Series or bust for the Dodgers, who’ll get plenty of national TV attention. ESPN airs both Seoul Series games live at 6a/5a c.

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed the coveted pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, a Japanese free agent and three-time winner of Japan’s version of the Cy Young Award.
