So how real is reality TV? In the new Vice docuseries “Dark Side of the 2000s,” two members of the production staff and a contestant from “The Bachelor” are spilling all the behind-the-scenes tea. They’re fessing up about the extreme lengths show producers go to, to score reality gold, which includes psychologically manipulating contestants and plying them with alcohol. This exposé shows the reality franchise in a whole different light…or is it a whole new darkness?

Rich and Daily: The ‘Dark Side’ of ‘The Bachelor’

Our lives can be crazy, but you can take a break from it all with Wondery’s new series, Even the Rich, where co-hosts Brooke Siffrinn and Aricia Skidmore-Williams pull back the curtain and chat about someone else’s craziness for a change. They tell stories about some of the greatest family dynasties in history, from the Murdochs to the Royals to the Carters (Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that is). Because as Queen Elizabeth once said, “A good gossip is a wonderful tonic.” New episodes come out Tuesdays for free.

Britney Spears has had a busy week. First, she reached a settlement with her father, agreeing to pay him a reported $2 million to cover his legal fees related to their conservatorship battle. Then she finalized her divorce from Sam Asghari. And to top it off, an ambulance was called to Hollywood's infamous Chateau Marmont early Thursday morning after a 911 call reported an injured woman, who turned out to be Britney. Rumors were flying that the “Stronger” singer got hurt while fighting with her on-again-off-again boyfriend, Paul Soliz. But Britney took to social media with her side of the story. And - true to form - her posts are leaving us with more questions than answers.

Listen Now: The Price of Paradise

Kanye West is making headlines...again. The controversial rapper - who now goes by Ye - allegedly got physical late Tuesday night at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. According to police, Ye slugged an unidentified man in the face after he “pushed” and “grabbed” Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori. But a rep for the “Flashing Lights” rapper says it was more than just pushing and grabbing - it was more like full-on physical and sexual assault. This isn’t the first time Ye’s been accused of physical violence, but with those other incidents, he didn’t face any criminal charges. But will he this time?
