We both have had ups and downs with our parents and we don't really have a strong example of what a healthy family life is. But, we're recognizing that now, so let's work at it and let's go through this together as a team.' It's been great," Nicole said. "And I would say that's the easiest and hardest part."

Ray J is sawwwy!
The troubled rapper, who was recently charged with 10 crimes after a drunken incident in Beverly Hills, has a lot to be sorry for. And he knows it. In his newest song, "Never Should Have Did That," the singer laments his past plethora of past mistakes, including a clear reference to his sex tape with ex Kim Kardashian.
Ray J doesn't leave much to the imagination when he lists off all the things he says he wishes he hadn't done: popping pills, cheating, and "f*cking b*tches on camera." Aww we all hope our ex boyfriends talk about us in such a respectful way!
But that's not all Ray J regrets -- apparently after the fact, Ray thinks it was probably not a good idea to "F*ck a ho without a condom" because "Now this b*tch is gonna have my kid." Awww that's a sweet way to talk about your unborn child's mother! Umm ... guess someone was too busy making bad choices to go to sex ed class ...
We have a feeling once Kanye hears his Kimmy K diss -- Ray J's going to have a whole new world of regret.

After Adrienne Bailon dissed ex-boyfriend Rob Kardashian in a recent interview with
Latina magazine, Rob's big sister fired back with several nasty tweets.
Bailon opened up about her relationship with Rob, but rather than taking the high road, she said she believed appearing on
Keeping Up With the Kardashians had harmed her career. She added that she didn't understand why people took Rob's side when they split, noting that he cheated on her and was "disloyal."
Bailon, who dated Kardashian from 2007 to 2009, continued, "[I didn't think] anyone would even care. But they did, and do. To this day, people will still say, 'You ruined Rob's life!' and I'll think, 'Damn, I was still playing with Barbie dolls when I met him.'"
What did mama bear Kim have to say?
"Funny how she says being with a Kardashian hurt her career yet the only reason she has this article is bc she is talking about a Kardashian ... #LetItGoooooLetItGoooooo (FROZEN VOICE) ... So sad when people try to kick my brother when he is down #FamilyForever."
Don't mess with Kimmy K!

Split rumors? What split rumors?
Following reports that Beyonce Knowles and husband Jay Z are on the rocks, the Grammy winner took to her Instagram on Tuesday to seemingly shoot down claims that there's trouble in paradise. If we're to believe what Queen Bey is spinning, it looks like the couple, along with daughter Blue Ivy are simply enjoying paradise...
Just hours after a story surfaced online that Beyonce had checked out a posh $21.5 million N.Y.C. apartment by herself (further fueling rumors that a split from Jay Z was imminent), Beyonce posted the above snapshot of Jay Z and little Blue Ivy on the beach and wrote, "My favorite hue is Jay Z Blue."
The other day rumors popped up that Jay Z was cheating on Beyonce with Rihanna, and the
New York Post reported that Bey's sister Solange unleashed her infamous smackdown on Jay Z in an elevator after the Met Gala in May because Jay had apparently planned to meet RiRi later that night at his 40/40 nightclub. "Solange was like, ‘Enough is enough — you must be [screwing] Rihanna,'" a source tells the paper. “To many people who know them, they know it’s not out of the realm of possibility."
But maybe it is?

They sure know how to lure in viewers...
Zac Efron appears on
Running Wild with Bear Grylls, and in the first episode of the new NBC reality series, the former
High School Musical hottie heads off on a two-day excursion in the Catskill Mountains with Grylls. "Should've packed my junk better," Zac joked while parachuting through the air. Oh, trust us ... it gets better!
At one point the boys sit down and have a heart to heart chat, and when asked about reaching fame at such a young age and going to rehab earlier this year, Zac said:
"It was just so quick -- it was shocking. The challenging part was never the work, that was never it. It was sort of the in-between work -- the social aspects outside of it; everywhere you go to an extent there is press… and it can be confusing … and pretty soon you need a social lubricant. It was getting to the point where I was caring less about the work and caring more about the weekend. I couldn’t wait to go out. And sort of let loose and have fun. But when Monday and Tuesday were difficult to get through, then I was like 'ugh this is bad.'"
Setting aside deep talks about life, Grylls and his new BFF also ate a worm omelet with the eggshells at during the premiere episode. "That was so gross," Efron said of the snack. Sounds about right ... click the video above to watch!
