She's baaaaaaack!!

Leah Remini will be making her return to television as TLC is giving her her very own reality series!!

While the project is still unnamed, the network has given the green light to 12 half hour episodes which will revolve around her family and her roles as a wife to husband Angelo, a mother to her 9-year-old Sofia, a sister, and a daughter!

Leah is hoping to show an unseen side of her and prove that despite her Hollywood success she's still a Brooklyn girl at heart!

Of course, the King of Queens actress is not stranger to reality TV and most recently made it all the way to the semifinals in the latest season of Dancing With The Stars!

And let's not forget her AH-mazing reality specials on VH1 10 years ago that had us in stitches!

The series is set to premiere sometime this summer, and we definitely can't wait to tune in!

Kirstie Alley may have come out swinging against Leah Remini this week, but don’t expect Leah to fire back at her former fellow Scientology follower!

Nah, Leah is instead killing Kirstie with kindness!

After being asked how she felt about being called a "bigot" and an "enemy" by Alley on Howard Stern’s satellite radio show, Leah responded:

The bad blood between Kirstie Alley and Leah Remini continues to boil!

Earlier this year, Leah made a shocking split from the Church of Scientology but not before calling out the controversial religion and some of their suspicious practices!

According to Remini, once she left Scientology, the Church then ordered all other parishioners to cut ties with her!

But on Wednesday morning, Kirstie, one of Scientology’s biggest stars, sat down with Howard Stern and told him Leah is flat out lying!

Kirstie claimed that NEVER have they ever told fellow followers of the Church to unfriend a past member. She explained:

We're only one week away from the finals on DWTS, meaning only the best of the best were left for week 10!

Maksim Chmerkovskiy made a special appearance at the judges table to help decide which teams were good enough to compete for the Mirror Ball Trophy! This also meant that each couple had a chance to score 10 additional points with each routine!

This season, Amber Riley has had to deal with busy schedules and fight through the pain of knee injuries! However, the Glee is finally starting to heal, and it definitely showed in her performances as she found herself back on top!

Amber and Derek Hough brought new meaning to the term "jazz hands" with their first dance that definitely seemed to rub

And then there were five!!

We're officially in the semifinals for Dancing With The Stars, meaning contestants had one last shot to show they have what it takes to compete for the coveted Mirror Ball Trophy!

For the fifth straight week, Bill Engvall and Emma Slater were the low-scoring couple of the night and once again looked to be facing elimination!

However, the comedian's fans pulled through for him, meaning it was actually Leah Remini and Tony Dovolani were sent packing just shy of the finals!

The veteran actress certainly had her ups and downs throughout the season, and unfortunately she didn't have her best night during the semifinals and was the second lowest scoring contestant of the evening!

Noooo!

At this point, it's sad to see anyone go home. But Leah should definitely be proud of making it this far into the competition! Congrats, girl! We're definitely going to miss you!!!

Ch-ch-check out her final performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

We're only one week away from the semifinals on DWTS, and the contestants are DEFINITELY stepping up their game!

There are only six teams remaining and only five can move on to next week, but the dance floor was unusually crowded as each couple got a chance to pick a troupe dancer to do a trio routine!

Corbin Bleu picked Witney Carson to help out with his performance, and while they seemed to hit things off during rehearsals, Karina Smirnoff was worried that

What happens when you mix Cher with Dancing With The Stars??

We're not 100% sure, but we think that's how angels are born!!

This week, DWTS paid tribute to the iconic singer and let her sit at the judges table, which means competitors were sure to bring their A-game for the legendary performer!

In a not-so-shocking turn of events, Amber Riley and Derek Hough were once again the high scoring duo of the week after earning 28 for their rumba!

However, they kind of had a trick up their sleeve as they had Derek come out in
