Reality TV star Todd Chrisley and his wife Julie were both sentenced today on bank fraud and tax evasion charges.
The pair we found guilty last month and Monday they were sentenced. Todd to 12 years and Julie to 7 years.
Prior to the sentencing, prosecutors had recommended nearly 22 years behind bars for Todd, 53, and 12 years for Julie, 49, after the “Chrisley Knows Best” stars were found guilty of multiple charges in June.
Todd and Julie asked for a new trial because they claim a witness lied on the stand, but the court denied that request.

Imagine Bob Dylan was your "the one that got away"?
The “unprecedented archive” of 42 letters written by Dylan — then Robert Zimmerman — to his high school sweetheart, Barbara Ann Hewitt came to auction last week in Boston. Netting a cool $669,875!
In 1958, Zimmerman was already dreaming of changing his name and selling a million records, aspirations he shared with Hewitt in his missives. He wrote about preparing for the local talent show, shared short pieces of poetry, and continually professed his affections for Hewitt, according to RR Auction.
Hewitt’s letters from Dylan remained in her possession until her death in 2020, the auction house said. Presumably, her family is now selling them.

Cheryl Burke says she's been "non stop crying" since making the decision to leave 'Dancing with the Stars' after 17 years and 26 seasons.
"It has been very emotional. There [are] a lot of emotions and there's lots of excitement, but there's also lots of fear. At the end of the day, this is actually maybe another divorce in a way that I'm going through in one year," Cheryl said on Sunday.
Burke became a household name from the show, but says it's taken it's toll.
"Lately I've talked a lot about how my body — it just hurts," Burke shares. For me as a dancer, as a woman, unfortunately, this is what happens as an athlete as well. There comes a time where —I'm almost 40 years old. I'm 38, and I have certain expectations I set for myself. Sometimes, if I don't see what I want to see or think that I am producing, that has a lot to do with it. But then also, it has a lot to do with growth in general."
The show has taken a toll not only physically on Burke, but mentally too, and she's looking forward to going easier on herself.
"At the end of the day, it's my sobriety as well," the Burke in the Game podcast host says. "I feel like I really have evolved and have just done a lot of work within myself and to continue to be judged, to continue to worry about my body, to continue to worry about if I look good or not look good in a costume is not where I am at today."

Writer and Poet, Aurielle Marie, was won the Georgia Author of the Year in poetry for her book Gumbo Ya Ya. And this caused Out Magazine to name her one of their Top100 of the year.
Out Magazine is a premiere LGBTQ magazine that annually recognizes those in the LGBTQ community who are making their mark. And with that honor comes a ticket to their annual Gala. This, Aurielle thought, might be a problem.
Big girls, especially those without tons of money, have few options when it comes to gowns and gala attire. So Aurielle did what many would think was silly... she made a tiktok to Lizzo.
"Someone asked me, 'Well, how do you want to feel?'" the author said. "I want to look and feel like how Lizzo did, walking up to accept her Emmy at the 2022 Emmys in that voluptuous, sexy, amazing masterpiece of a dress."
"So, I asked!" she said. "I didn't think she would even see it, let alone see it and care, let alone see it, care and say yes. She did, and I am now — I can confidently say — the most fabulously dressed person at the Out100, thanks to Lizzo."
But of course Lizzo said yes. She's Lizzo.
You have to watch the tiktok she made when the dress arrived. It's inspirational.
@auriellebewritin Replying to @noirediamonds i might’ve gotten a few tears on your dress @lizzo, my bad babe! Words dont suffice, and thank you isnt enough. But THANK YOU! I’m speechless. Y’all! A bitch is certified LIZZO SIZED!!!!!! And LOOK AT THIS GOWN! @Out Magazine here i come! #fyp#foryou#lizzo? 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) - Lizzo

I mean when isn't Lizzo being awesome?

Weatherman Al Roker raised some concerns when he wasn't on set for the Today Show this week. The morning staple had told us two years ago he had prostate cancer and people were fearful it was something to do with that.
But Al put the rumors to rest this morning posting a pretty scary answer to his Instagram. Seems he had blood clots in his legs and lungs!
“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been. Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs,” he continued. “After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery.”
The 68-year-old concluded by thanking his fans for their “well-wishes and prayers,” adding, “Hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone.”
So there is no word on when he'll return, but at least we know he's getting the attention he needs!

I've said it before. Montecito is the hottest celeb town in Southern California next to Hollywood itself. And one of the people buying and selling properties like hotcakes it Ellen Degeneres.
The Ex talk show host bought an adorable 1,900 square foot cottage just six months ago for $5.4m, but Ellens flip skills don't take very long. Dirt.com says they looked into it and can't necessarily see any changes at all to justify increasing the price $450k, but sometimes just having the Ellen name on a place makes it sellable.
Listing describes "Vaulted ceilings, divided light windows, and original built-ins nod to the home's 1915 origins while updated baths, kitchen, and finishes have a chic modern vibe."
Asking: $5,850,000 3 bds, 4bath, 1910 sq ft Guest cottage (includes furniture if desired)

It's a little convoluted but stick with me. On Tuesday Jimmy Fallon learned he was trending on Twitter in a less-than-desirable way. He was being presumed dead.
The hashtag #RIPJimmyFallon was trending on twitter in a meme that had people paying respect to the tv host but attaching a photo of a different celebrity.
It's actually quite amusing:
This seemed to concern Jimmy who then took the matter straight to Elon Musk, the troubled new owner of Twitter.
"Elon, Can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon" Jimmy text to the billionaire. "Fix What?" Elon responded.
It doesn't seem that Jimmy ever got satisfaction from Elon, but the matter has seemed to mostly die out. Jimmy was back to tweeting normally noting " It’s not family movie night until you remember way too late about that one scene."

The celeb clan of Brad Pitt, George and Amal Clooney and Randy Gerber and Cindy Crawford may have just added a sixth member.
Brad is always being tagged in supposed relationships but this time he's actually been seen introducing him to the Gerbers. At a U2 show no less.
The actor was spotted Sunday night arriving at a Bono concert in LA and appeared smitten with Ines de Ramon, 29. Brad, 58, could be seen holding her arms and pulling her close as the two chatted outside the Orpheum Theatre with A-list pals, Cindy Crawford, husband Rande Gerber, Sean Penn and Vivi Nevo.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA - April 28, 2021: Jay Leno poses for a portrait with a Stanley Steamer car at his garage in Burbank. CREDIT: Philip Cheung for Penta
As you likely know, Jay Leno, 72, was at his Los Angeles mansion on Saturday when one of his many vehicles 'erupted into flames without warning' - with sources telling TMZ the left side of his face was burned.
Leno said: "I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet."
The host said that he was repairing a clogged fuel line when he got sprayed on his hands and face with gasoline.
Leno was taken to the burn ward at Grossman Burn Center according to TMZ, with his eye and ear not affected by the fire. On Monday, Page Six reported that Leno may need skin grafts as a result of the burns.
George Swift, a mechanic in the comedian's personal garage, told ET that it was a steam car that sent Leno to the hospital.
"It was a steam car. This steam was made by gas. It got sprayed, as a gas," Swift, a mechanic who works at the garage, said.
'He called me, and he told me there was a fire and the fire department is coming,' the employee continued.
In a separate interview with Access Hollywood, Swift said that Leno is 'going to be fine.' He added: 'It's nothing life-threatening. He's in great spirits, but you know, it's going to take a while.'

A few months ago Jojo Siwa said Candace Cameron Bure was the meanest celeb she met. After talking to Candace, Jojo apologized, saying she was just a kid when she met Cameron and didn't understand celebs can't always stop and take photos.
But now she's got a real reason to feel offended and I back her at every turn.
Candace and her brother Kirk Cameron were both hot actors back in the 80s. She on full house and he the hunky star of Growing Pains. But the two became super christians soon after and since then they live like it's 1920.
Most recently Candace sat down with the Wall Street Journal and said she intends to "keep traditional marriage at the core" of her partnership with the Great American Family channel.
In other words, marriage between one man and one woman. And of course Jojo Siwa is a proud gay woman.
Siwa wrote on Instagram: "Honestly, I can't believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press. This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people."
Siwa's comment was applauded by fellow Dance Moms alum Maddie Ziegler, who commented, "go off jojo!!!!!!! ??????"
Go off indeed.

By now I imagine we're all familiar, on some level, with the artist Banksy. The unknown but wildly popular street artist whose satirical stencil graffiti command upwards of millions of dollars once they're pried from the walls they inhabit.
In recent years Banksy has taken to more indoor work and created for shows, but he's recently gone back to his roots of social commentary in places of great strife.
This month he was in Ukraine to express his frustration with Russias unjust aggression.
One work echoes a David and Goliath situation to represent the two countries. Kids ride a seesaw on metal left from explosions. Ballerinas dance to provide some beauty in the war-torn region.
