Visiting her in New Jersey a week after their vows, he admittedly “felt like a trespasser in her home, like I didn’t belong.”  It was a sensation that only grew when she asked him to sleep on the sofa as she had a big day of work in the morning. “‘Yeah, no problem’ were the words that came…

FOX 24 US Nia didn’t imagine at the time, she wrote, that the network would take advantage of the clause “that extended the term to seven seasons—the longest time you can contract someone for work in this business—if the series was picked up.”  Years in, the UCLA grad revealed, she had to listen to Abby “gloat sometimes that she was being paid $20,000 an episode.” Meanwhile, wrote Nia, “We were working overtime and not making half of that. I wouldn’t even be able to pay for college tuition with what I’d made from Dance Moms.”  Not that the discrepancy had…

FOX 24 US On Tuesday, Maine voters rejected Question 1, a Republican-backed measure primarily about voter ID, that, if approved, would have restricted absentee voting and ballot access and disenfranchised eligible voters. Supporters of the measure insist these changes are necessary for election security, while voting rights activists argue that the new law is merely a form of voter suppression and a way to cast doubt on the security of an already-secure election system.  The attempt to change Maine’s voting policies came as the state is poised to host one of the most significant Senate contests of next year’s midterms.…
