Joe Giudice Denied Final Deportation Appeal: ‘My Heart Is Aching’
Sad news for the Giudice family.
On Wednesday, news broke that Joe Giudice had lost his third and final deportation appeal. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star was deported to his native Italy after serving his prison sentence. Though he spent most of his life in the U.S., he was born in Italy and never officially became a citizen.
Related: Teresa’s Father Passes Away
Giudice posted an Instagram with photos of his daughters, directing followers to his official statement. The statement, delivered to The Hollywood Gossip, read:
“As I proceeded with caution, hoping to win the judge’s sympathy. I was hoping to come home to my girls. …Today, According to U.S immigration I was told I will never step foot in America again. … My appeal was denied. The dreadful words no one wants to hear, especially now.”
Teresa Giudice’s ex has shared a handful of photos and videos of his daughters over recent weeks, clearly devastated at being separated from his family. At Easter, he expressed being “overwhelmed with emotions” after the girls’ trip to Italy for the holiday was canceled due to coronavirus. Regarding the lost appeal, he shared:
“I always feel I belong in the United States with my family, not in Italy. …My heart is aching. My limbs feel weak. … I won’t see my girls [sic] glowing smile that I loved waking up with every morning now. … That makes me scared it means that my kids [sic] world will be without me.”
The 47-year-old’s attorney James J. Leonard decried the harshness of Giudice’s punishment to People. He said:
“We have always maintained that Joe Giudice belongs in the United States with his family, not in Italy. The immigration laws in our country are both draconian and antiquated and need to be revisited by forward thinking members of Congress.”
The lawyer did affirm that despite the unfortunate news, the father of four is staying positive, adding:
“He’s in Italy doing everything he can to keep busy, and stay healthy. I know he’s working on some projects that I’m sure you will hear about soon. For now, it’s day [sic] at a time like everyone else.”
This has certainly been a difficult month for the reality family, as Teresa’s father Giacinto Gorga passed away earlier in April. Joe posted a loving tribute to his ex-father-in-law to Instagram, writing:
“Salute 🥃🇺🇸🇮🇹🙏
Thank you, I will forever be grateful. It is because of you that my girls know how to cook pasta, eggplant, and how to drive (lol). Thank you for always being a great grandfather and FIL. You will be greatly missed by all of us especially because your absence was never seen, but you taught us to not to be afraid and never fear the future! My girls are strong from our great team effort!
Today, I honor you for helping support my girls dreams.”
Here’s hoping for better times ahead for the Giudices.

RHOBH: Denise Richards and Aaron Phypers Claim There Are 'People Following Us' Due to His Career
Denise Richards is opening up about her husband’s career running a holistic healing center in Malibu — and why it at times has her concerned about their safety.
During Wednesday night’s episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Denise and her castmates — Dorit Kemsley, Erika Girardi, Lisa Rinna, Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave, Garcelle Beauvais and Friend of the Housewives Sutton Stracke — gathered at Kyle Richards‘ home for a dinner party.
After going around the table and playing an awkward game, when the women had to share their first impressions of one another, Kyle asked Denise’s husband Aaron Phypers to explain his profession to the group. “Denise’s husband, what Aaron does is something that’s more, I want to say cutting-edge. Even though people who know who have been around for a long time like … Yolanda Hadid … went to Aaron. And what he does is very interesting. And what you do is really amazing,” said Kyle, 51. “Can you tell us a little about that?”
Aaron, who is also an actor and wed Denise in September 2018, tried to explain his work.
“Everything you’ve been taught about how diseases process and stuff works is not true,” started Aaron, who paused before admitting, “I have to be careful.”
Speaking in a quieter tone, Denise, 49, reminded him, “We already have people following us, be careful.”
“Let me just —” said Aaron, as Denise told him, “I know, but be careful how you say all this.”
RELATED: Denise Richards Denies Having an ‘Open Marriage’ with Aaron Phypers amid Brandi Glanville Rumors
He proceeded to cautiously explain. “I have to be careful.”
“Say what?” Kyle asked. “Explain.”
“Age of 12 I was living next to the largest nuclear facility in North America. I watched everybody die of cancer. I couldn’t understand why we could split an atom with sound and cause a nuclear explosion,” claimed Aaron, 47. “If you look at an atom, there’s lots of space, right? Electron, proton, neutron, whatever. There’s a lot of space, space, it’s empty space, right? 99.9 percent is space, but it’s oscillating at a frequency that appears to be real in our reality. Does that make sense?”
“Traditional isn’t traditional,” he continued. “It’s allopathic. And allopathic, it means alternative medicine. Look it up. It’s all a measurement of the electromagnetic spectrum frequency. I break down stuff so you can all heal you — I don’t heal anybody, by the way. I remove blocks, discord, information.”
In a confessional, Lisa, 56, said that her husband, actor Harry Hamlin, “has been involved with fusion energy for 30 years. And I know a lot about it. And I am trying to wrap my brain around what Aaron is saying.”
Aaron claimed, “I ruptured my Achilles tendon. I regrew it in two months no surgery. How’s that possible?”
When Garcelle, 53, asked, “No surgery, is that what you’re saying? Without surgery?” Aaron confirmed, “zero.”
Aaron continued, “There’s cancer in every one of you right now. Cancer happens all the time.”
At that, Denise alleged that she and Aaron are being followed.
“If we end up off of Mulholland , you know why,” said Denise, referencing a popular winding road in Los Angeles.
E!’s Justin Sylvester, who was also at the party, then interjected, “I was about to say, wait, should we be talking about this? Because I feel like Big Pharma …”
“I don’t even care,” said Aaron. But Denise said, “I do.”
“Do you even feel safe?” Justin asked.
“We already have people following us,” Denise alleged, before excusing herself to the bathroom.
“I have people following me all the time,” Aaron agreed.
RELATED: Kyle Richards Explains Denise Richards’ Puzzling ‘Bravo, Bravo’ Comment on RHOBH Premiere
Garcelle, Kyle and Lisa appeared to be both shocked and intrigued, pressing Aaron about who would be following him.
“Aaron has a job where people get tremendous results and sometimes certain organizations don’t like to see those results because they make a lot of money otherwise,” Denise said in a confessional. “And there’s times we’re followed.”
In a flashback scene from three days earlier, Denise and Aaron were driving in his truck when she observed a vehicle that they had previously noticed. “There’s that weird car again,” Denise said. “I know,” Aaron replied.
Continuing his explanation at the dinner table, Aaron posed the question, “Do you want to know why cancer comes in? Because it’s protecting you of an infection your immune system did not respond to and you would have died in 12 hours. It’s your best friend that protected you from something that’s going to shoot you in the head with a bullet. That’s what cancer is. I’ll prove it all day long,” he said. “We can split an atom with sound, cause a nuclear explosion, kill people. You can’t figure out if it’s cancer?”
When Lisa asked about the “common cold,” Aaron said, “you have no idea what I really do.”
“I have an idea,” she said.
“But not really,” he told Lisa. “Come to my office.”
Upon returning from the restroom, Denise told the table, “We’re going to move on from this.”
Though Aaron continued talking about it with Kyle’s husband Mauricio Umansky — “Doesn’t matter whatever terminal disease it is,” he said — Denise tapped him and told him, “You can’t talk about this right now, anymore.”
RELATED: RHOBH: Denise Richards Doesn’t Want Kids with Charlie Sheen to Have ‘Father-Daughter Issues’
“I don’t give a s—,” Aaron said to her.
“I give a s—,” she said. “We’re not talking about this anymore. It’s for our safety. Stop.”
Aaron told her, “You’re protected completely,” and said in Mauricio’s direction, “She’s protected.”
After Teddi, 38, helped change the topic and revealed the sex of her third child, a girl (she welcomed daughter Dove in February), Denise and Aaron said their early goodbyes to the group, because the actress was still recovering from her hernia surgery.

Last summer during a Bravo After Show interview with Lisa, Denise explained her husband’s career.
“I met Aaron at his center, where he does frequency medicine, and I was going to him to do like preventative DNA repair. He works with a lot of different people with a lot of different things. I started to see Aaron at his center. We would start talking about different things because we knew a lot of the same people and same interests and I started to develop an attraction to him,” she said.
“I’ve never dated someone where I was going to them for a professional service,” Denise said, with a laugh.
She explained that the service Aaron provides is “light and sound therapy.”
“How he described what is going on is Ella Fitzgerald sings and breaks glass, right? The frequency breaks that,” she further explained. “So frequency can also break down different things going on. It’s not cuckoo weird s—. It’s like been around for hundreds of years, holistic medicine all over the world. It’s different for every person.”

USC Will Not Issue Partial School Tuition Refunds Despite Going Online Due to the Coronavirus Crisis
Students at the University of Southern California will not receive partial refunds for the spring semester despite classes moving entirely online during the coronavirus pandemic.
Charles F. Zukoski, the school’s Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs, said in an email Tuesday obtained by the Los Angeles Times that USC is providing the same level of expertise through its online classes that students would have received in person, and would not be issuing refunds to those who believe they’re not receiving the college experience they expected.
“While this is not the semester any of us envisioned, we are continuing to provide a high-quality education, ensure academic progress towards degree, and offer a robust learning environment,” Zukoski said in a message sent to the campus community.
“Whether our instructors present their classes in person or online, they bring the same expertise, depth of knowledge, and commitment to their teaching, and students continue to earn credits toward a USC degree,” the email continued.
According to the Daily Trojan, USC’s campus newspaper, the university will move forward with its second session of online summer classes beginning July 1.
USC did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Many universities around the country are figuring out ways to salvage their school year after coronavirus forced the postponement of large public gatherings around the country.

#breaking: @USC will not provide partial refunds for tuition, @uscprovost announced in a communitywide email Tuesday. The University will also hold the second session of summer classes, from July 1 to August 11, online and will announce fall plans in two months.

While moving classes online has been a viable alternative, tuition at these universities often includes fees for things students can only get in-person, like healthcare and campus services.
This week, the University of California and California State University systems found themselves at the center of lawsuits brought by students who are demanding money back for these services they can’t use anymore.
“University of California’s decision to transition to online classes and to instruct students to leave campus were responsible decisions to make, but it is unfair and unlawful for University of California to retain fees and costs and to pass the losses on to the students and/or their families,” UC Davis student Claire Brandmeyer said in a complaint filed this week in U.S. District Court in Oakland, according to The Mercury News.
“Other higher education institutions across the United States that also have switched to e-learning and have requested that students leave campus have recognized the upheaval and financial harm to students and/or their families from these decisions and have provided appropriate refunds,” the suit continued.

CSU contends the school system continued to provide service to students and that the suit “misstated facts.”
“The case against CSU asserts that students should be given refunds after CSU allegedly stopped providing services to them,” CSU spokesperson Mike Uhlenkamp said in a statement sent to PEOPLE. “The complaint misstates the facts.”
“Although classes were converted to on-line instruction after Governor Newsom issued his stay-at-home order, every CSU campus continued to fulfill its mission of providing instruction and services to its students,” the statement continued. “Campuses continue to operate, and many personal services are now provided remotely, such as counseling, advising, faculty office hours, disability student services, and even telehealth medical care.”
CSU also said the suit misrepresented its position on refunds for certain campus-based fees, and that it will provide “refunds for various categories of fees that are determined to have been unearned by the campus.”
Zukoski said USC is still working to create new programs the strengthen its online offerings, and the school is also currently researching ways to test for the virus in the circumstance students are allowed back to campus in the fall.

24 Cats Rescued in California from Hot Car, Where Temperature Reached 118 Degrees
In a Southern California city where the high temperature on Sunday reached 91 degrees, two dozen cats meowing inside a closed parked car were clearly in distress.
“The cats had no water or fresh food in the Honda Civic in which they were trapped,” according to a news release from the Inland Empire Humane Society & S.P.C.A.
Alerted by an employee of the Quality Inn Ontario Convention Center in Ontario to the feline occupants of the vehicle parked on the hotel’s lot, police called on the animal welfare agency for help.
Workers with the humane society arrived and observed at least eight cats inside “and a potent smell escaping from the car,” according to the news release. On its Facebook page, the agency described the interior as “excrement infested.”

“Temperature readings identified that the inside of the vehicle was 118 degrees and climbing with only one window cracked a total of three centimeters for air circulation,” said the news release. It added: “Humane Officers were able to get the vehicle’s passenger door open and immediately identified several more cats and only urine-saturated food available to them with no signs of drinking water.”
By the time the cats and kittens were counted from inside the trunk and main cabin of the vehicle, their number totaled 24.
All were taken to the humane society’s veterinary hospital to be re-hydrated and assessed. “Our veterinarians are committed to helping every one of these kitties regain health and strength!” the society said in a Facebook post.
The vehicle’s owner, who was identified as a guest of the hotel, but not otherwise named, surrendered the cats and was issued 24 citations for crimes against animals and animal in vehicle.
The humane society is seeking donations for the animals’ care and rehab. Many have since been made available for adoption and fostering, the society’s Social Media Manager Mansha Kaur told the Daily Bulletin.
“Please DO NOT leave animals alone in a vehicle,” it urged. “It is illegal and they can experience severe trauma and irreparable damage when temperatures reach certain levels (85 degrees outside is 119 degrees in a vehicle). Please keep the pets of our community safe and report any animals under dangerous conditions.”

PEOPLE, LeBron James and More to Honor the Class of 2020 with Primetime Special Graduate Together
Commencement ceremonies across the country have been canceled due to COVID-19, but the commitment, determination and spirits of the Class of 2020 remain high.
To recognize the more than 3 million graduating seniors nationwide — and to give them a first-of-its-kind celebration they’ll never forget — XQ Institute, The LeBron James Family Foundation and The Entertainment Industry Foundation have announced an upcoming special called Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020.
The one-hour primetime event will air simultaneously across ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC on May 16, and will also be available to stream on TikTok, Facebook, YouTube, Complex Networks, PEOPLE and other online platforms.
“We learned early on in our work with students and families in Akron that education is so much more than academics,” LeBron James, who will address graduates during the broadcast, said in a statement. “It’s about a shared experience, a journey we’re all on together — students, parents, educators, community members, and everyone around them.”
“With that not being possible right now, we’ve been working to find ways to help families get through this really difficult time,” James, 35, added. “These students have worked incredibly hard for this, and there’s no way we can let that go unrecognized.”
Produced by Done + Dusted and SpringHill Entertainment, Graduate Together will be curated by high school students and educators across the country with the support of the American Federation of Teachers.
In addition to the NBA star, the commercial-free broadcast will feature a collection of commencement addresses and celebrity performances by Malala Yousafzai, the Jonas Brothers, Yara Shahidi, H.E.R., Bad Bunny, Lena Waithe, Pharrell Williams, Megan Rapinoe, Ben Platt and others.
“Our country’s teachers and support personnel have been on the front lines keeping students engaged, comforted, and supported during this time of incredible upheaval. Educators want their kids to be okay,” Randi Weingarten, the President of the American Federation of Teachers, said in a statement. “And even if we are physically apart, we are eager to celebrate our students’ accomplishments alongside parents, family members, and caregivers as we try to bring this school year to a meaningful close.”
“We are grateful to all our teachers and school staff and proud to join in this effort to bring together education professionals from across the country and honor graduates as they embark on their next journey,” Weingarten continued.
RELATED VIDEO: Teachers Hold Parade to Cheer Up Students Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
The program is also planning to feature profiles of students and educators who have made a difference in their schools and communities.
To help tell these inspirational stories, the show’s producers are inviting graduates, teachers, and parents to share their achievements, real-world advice, and heartfelt thanks for a chance to be featured on the broadcast and in an upcoming issue of PEOPLE.
Those interested in nominating an outstanding senior or educator worthy of recognition — or yourself! — can visit GraduateTogether2020.com. Up to five featured graduates will be eligible to receive a $5,000 award. Entries must be received by Friday, May 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
“While this won’t be the graduation experience were supposed to get, we hope we can still give them something special,” James said. “Because they deserve it.”
Graduate Together is set to air on Saturday, May 16 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, CBS, FOX and NBC.

Darren Criss Admits ‘I Dragged My Feet’ to Wed Wife Mia but Loves Married Life: ‘I Am So Grateful for Her Every Day’
Darren Criss had described the happiest day in his life, his wedding, just a few days before what is likely to be one of the saddest. On April 26, Darren’s father died. He was 78.
The Glee alum, 33, announced the death in an Instagram post on Monday, writing in a statement, “Bill Criss has left the building. After many years of coping with a rare heart condition — which, true to his form, very few would have even been aware of — he finally checked out peacefully yesterday morning, surrounded by his loved ones.” Of his father, he wrote: “I’ve spent most of my life trying to be like him, wanting to see and do all the incredible things he did — and I’m so grateful he was around to see me actually pull a few off.”
One of the things Darren pulled off was a very joyous wedding. When he spoke to PEOPLE, he had just celebrated his one-year anniversary. He first met Mia Swier through mutual friends in 2006 and they began dating four years later, right around the time as he joined the cast of Glee. Last year, they got married in New Orleans.
“It’s been a year since the wedding,” Darren says. “That was one of the most incredible events of my entire life. The most magical experience. Say what you will about the construct of marriage and tradition: weddings are amazing.”
For more from Darren Criss, pick up this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands FridayDarren and Mia (who took his last name) got married around the same time several of their friends also tied the knot. “People would tell us, ‘Oh, your wedding is going to be the most incredible night.’ And I was like, really? Because I’ve had some really good nights — and days, okay? It can’t be the most, maybe top five. But our wedding, well, it took the cake.”
RELATED: Darren Criss Opens Up About Being Biracial: ‘I’m Closer to My Identity Than I Ever Was Before’
The pair were married in a multi-day celebration in New Orleans. Darren surprised her with a concert. And she, also a musician, joined the stage. Glee castmate Lea Michele performed as well.
“It was a magical and crazy thing. If I could, I’d get married every year for the rest of my life,” he says.
The actor is settling into the idea of marriage — and business ownership. Darren and Mia own a piano bar in Hollywood, Tramp Stamp Granny’s.
“This feels right. Married. The idea of marriage was not something I gravitated to earlier in life. It’s almost painfully cliché but boys grow up slower. Girl just mature faster. This is science. I am definitely no exception. I will say this: I dragged my feet.” He laughs. “But, we were together for a long time before. By that point in our lives, it was a validation and sharing of our life and existence. In many ways, it’s not been a change at all.”
He credits his wife for much of his success.
“We have been the ultimate plus-ones out here for each other for 10 years. My dreams and ambition have always been the driving force in my life. It was the gas in my tank. It almost consumed me,” he says.
“Some people were slighted by that,” says Darren. “But Mia never was. I am so grateful for her — every day.”

Leah Messer Of Teen Mom 2 Opens Up About Babysitter Sexual Abuse & Opioid Addiction In ‘Therapeutic’ New Memoir
As the publication of her memoir Hope, Grace & Faith nears, Leah Messer is opening up about some of her darkest chapters.
Related: JoJo Opens Up About Depression & Substance Abuse Issues
The Teen Mom 2 star previously revealed to People that the miscarriage she had on the show was actually an abortion. She also wrote about experiencing depression and having suicidal thoughts. Now, for the first time she’s divulged details about sexual abuse she experienced as a child.
The abuse, while in the care of a teenage babysitter, apparently took place when Messer was only 5 or 6 years old. Though the abuse went on for about six months, she never spoke to anyone about it. She told People:
“My mom didn’t understand why I screamed every time I went to the babysitter’s house. It was because I was being sexually abused there, and my mom, she didn’t have much support. Reliving those times was really hard, but it was also therapeutic for me. … I could go back and really truly allow myself to heal from the child abuse that I went through.”
Another topic in the book is the 28-year-old’s struggle with opioid addiction. She became dependent on pills prescribed to manage back pain after the birth of her daughter Adalynn in 2013. Her guilt over daughter Ali’s struggles with muscular dystrophy and the end of her marriage to Jeremy Calvert led to her taking a pill and nearly driving herself off a cliff.
Immediately following the incident, Teen Mom 2 producer Larry Musnik reached out about “alarming footage” from the drive, and encouraged her to enter rehab. Messer called the Tuscon, Arizona rehab facility the “best place that I’ve ever went to in my life.” She explained:
“For me it felt like, as silly as it sounds, I didn’t go to college, so it felt like college for me. … It was a schedule, a routine, stability, structure. It was just so empowering for me going there. There are different tracks that you can go to in a facility. For me, it was like laying that foundation for me to be the person that I am today.”

The mother of three doesn’t see herself having more kids, saying she’s happy with her “girl tribe.” She hopes to give her daughters a better childhood and prevent them from becoming teenage parents, like she was. She told E! News:
“I feel like if I’m on it from the beginning, I can prevent it. So if I am educating them on puberty, educating them on growing up into little ladies, then I will hopefully be able to prevent that. I think if education was expressed to me a lot younger, I would have made completely different decisions. … I’m just going to be open with them. Anytime I hear of conversations that they may be having, I want to be the source for them. I’m breaking that cycle.”
Sounds like she’s doing an amazing job already!

Who Is Max Ehrich? Demi Lovato's New Beau Also Has a Disney Channel Past
Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich could easily win the award for Best Celeb Couple of 2020, and yes, it's only April. Sure, they have yet to publicly confirm their relationship - they were first rumored to be dating last month - but their social media back-and-forth has already cemented them as a solid ship. All aboard!
Perhaps their most adorable moment so far came when Max, 28, was singing and playing the piano on Instagram live - and Demi, 27, came in carrying a blanket, unaware that he was broadcasting to fans.
"I'm on live! I'm on live!" he frantically whispered to the star. They both cracked up and Demi quickly covered her face with the sheet.
Plus, Sam Smith - who recently collaborated with Demi on their new track, "I'm Ready" - revealed that Demi and Max "seem so sweet," they told Andy Cohen. "She seems happy at the moment which is the most important thing."
Of course, that is the most important thing. And fans are clamoring for all the details about Max, needing to know, "Who is this person who makes Demi smile so much?" The answer to that question lies right here in this photo gallery. Keep scrolling to get the full scoop on Max Ehrich!

Meghan Markle Hired Princess Diana’s Lawyer For Her Tabloid Lawsuit!
As we told you last week, Friday was the first day of court in Meghan Markle‘s lawsuit against Associated Newspapers, owner of the Mail on Sunday and MailOnline, regarding an article published containing excerpts of a private handwritten letter to her estranged father, Thomas Markle.
But amidst the opening salvo of legal arguments — including one in which the defendants’ lawyers insinuated Meghan must have intended for the letter to be leaked and published because the handwriting was so pretty (yes, really) — we missed a pretty big emotional detail.
Meghan’s attorney, David Sherborne, has a very personal connection to Meghan and her hubby; he represented Prince Harry‘s late mother, Princess Diana!
Related: Lindsay Lohan Gives Meghan & Harry Paparazzi Advice
Apparently Meghan specifically requested Sherborne, who specializes in privacy, confidentiality, and defamation suits. He’s represented Hugh Grant in his landmark phone hacking case, as well as other big names like Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Harry Styles, Kate Moss, the Spice Girls, Chelsea Clinton, and even Donald Trump. According to a statement on his law firm 5RB‘s page:
“He is also acting for HRH The Duchess of Sussex in her misuse of private information, breach of data protection, and infringement of copyright action against Associated Newspapers.”
We think the HRH label is incorrect at this point, but we aren’t going to argue with such a high-powered lawyer about anything! LOLz!
With Sherborne having represented Diana, this sounds like a perfect fit! From the start this case has been very much about the late Lady Di for Harry, as he said in his initial open letter speaking out last October:
“I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditised to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person. I lost my mother and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.”
In case you need a refresher on the case is all about:
Essentially Meghan is accusing the publisher of violating copyright, privacy, and data protection laws, misusing her private information in an attempt to damage her reputation. She has pointed out they can’t even stand on journalistic principle as they didn’t publish the full letter but rather an edited version to allegedly make her look bad. As Meghan and Harry wrote in their letter recently announcing their lack of cooperation with more tabloids:
“This policy is not about avoiding criticism. It’s not about shutting down public conversation or censoring accurate reporting. Media have every right to report on and indeed have an opinion on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, good or bad. But it can’t be based on a lie.”
Sounds fair to us! And with such a successful lawyer on their side, we imagine they won’t have too hard a time convincing the court either.
