The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Tonight: Pantygate Continues!

LVP lifts Erika's skirt

LVP lifts Erika's skirt

It’s that time of the week again! The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is back with an all new episode tonight. Pantygate continues…and hopefully some other stuff happens.

In the preview clips that have been airing nonstop on Bravo, Dorit Kemsley tries to lighten up the commando situation by gifting Erika Jayne with a pair of lacy white undies. Erika is unimpressed, at least that’s how they’re editing it for preview purposes. 😉

According to Bravo’s episode synopsis, “Dorit questions whether Erika’s wardrobe malfunction was intentional, while Lisa Rinna dominates the fashion world with a 24-hour garment selling marathon. Erika explores a future in acting with Eileen. And when Dorit employs a risky maneuver to confront Erika, the ladies worry they won’t be able to escape a challenge.”

I truly hope this Erika underwear incident doesn’t become an all-season point of contention. We need RHOBH to let shit go as quickly as RHONY does. After half-watching a RHOBH marathon of last season that Bravo aired today, it reminded me all over again how these women nitpick and drag issues out for SEASONS. #Exhausting

Sophie Stanbury Still Upset Over Caroline Missing Her Son’s Birthday Party; Admits Sons Are Visiting Her In Dubai

Sophie Stanbury Still Upset Over Caroline Missing Her Son's Birthday Party, But Admits Sons Are Visiting Her In Dubai!

Sophie-Stanbury-Sons-Sunglasses-Ladies-Of-London

It may be Sophie Stanbury’s first season as a full-time cast member on Ladies Of London, but she’s certainly come out of the gate swinging – though not at the target some might have expected. Former sister in law and friend, Caroline Stanbury, is in her crosshairs this season, and their relationship continues to be contentious post-filming, it seems.

But wait! Sophie recently spilled the news that her sons are visiting Dubai, where Caroline’s family relocated this year. So…are fences being mended after all? According to Sophie, not exactly.

CLICK CONTINUE READING FOR MORE!

Last week, when Caroline’s children did not attend her nephew Finn’s third birthday party, Sophie was bereft. Although Caroline did tweet an explanation after the fact about her children not attending (she claims she was out of the country and that her parents couldn’t pick her children up for the event), Sophie still harbors resentment over the perceived diss.

“I was really heartbroken that Caroline’s children didn’t come because I think as adults, we have to compartmentalize things. I was definitely gonna park my issues with Caroline to one side and put the children first,” shares Sophie in a Bravo interview.

Sophie continues, “The children get on really well together, and so it was odd for them not to be there. I didn’t want to unload onto them another negative thing that Daddy was only coming in for the party and [Caroline’s sons] weren’t gonna be there. Daddy’s not gonna come home with Mommy because we don’t live together. It was a lot of layering in a really negative situation, so it does make that episode really, really hard and really painful.”

Daddy, otherwise known as Caroline’s brother, Alex Stanbury, didn’t do himself any favors in the episode either, appearing aloof and disinterested during his son’s party. Sophie claims that this episode was filmed during a low spot in their divorce, but things have improved considerably since then.

“It’s really hard to watch big Finn’s birthday party because Alex and I were in a bad place when that was being filmed. There were a lot of things we hadn’t figured out. I was in a negative place with it, so it’s really hard for me to watch it back because now we have worked through those things.”

Sophie says that reliving the party via watching the show was “painful,” but “the bottom line is, Alex is a great dad, and he does support me, and we are friends, and we’re trying to make the best of a bad situation, and that’s what our focus is on. And I think to watch this episode, it’s like, oh God, it’s so negative. It looks really brutal.”

After the rollercoaster of divorce, Sophie reports that the couple are “now out the other side, and we’re in a good place.”

Such a good place, it seems that Alex has been green lit to take their sons on a vacation – to Dubai! One would assume, to visit Caroline and her family there. Sophie says, “I’m happy to say that the boys 100 percent come first now. My boys are actually with Alex in Dubai now with their cousins having the best time while I’m here. And they’re loving it. I spoke to them a half an hour ago, and they’re literally, they’re so excited and so happy.”

So, does this mean that Sophie and Caroline are back on speaking terms, at least for the sake of their children? Sophie doesn’t explicitly say whether she and Caroline are copacetic, instead focusing on her co-parenting with Alex. She does report that “the children will always come first. I don’t think that will ever happen again, so I’m pleased about that.”

When asked on twitter where her relationship with Caroline stood today, Sophie claimed, “We are on a journey and are still navigating our way through … things are still strained.” However, allowing her sons to visit their aunt in Dubai seems like a good sign toward reconciliation, no?

For her part, Caroline still feels burned by Sophie sharing private comments with Julie Montagu, who Caroline simply has no patience for these days. Caroline told Bravo’s Daily Dish in early December that trust was broken when Sophie made that move and “I don’t know how you get that trust back.”

Caroline also hints that there is much more drama set to unfold this season regarding their relationship, sharing, “You’ll see coming up, actions speak louder than words. You can say you’re sorry, ‘I didn’t mean to do it,’ but if you’re gonna do it again and again, you keep throwing me under the bus.”

Phaedra Parks Says That She Only Does Funerals For People She Already Knew

Phaedra is confronted by Kandi

Phaedra is confronted by Kandi

It seems like Phaedra Parks has a million jobs. From being a reality TV star to a mom to a lawyer to fitness video vixen and her other super interesting career choice that she got into a few years ago: the mortuary business. That honestly just seemed like a grab for a good story line on Real Housewives of Atlanta, but she really does do this for one of her jobs and Phaedra opened up being a mortician.

We don’t really see a ton of this on show, since I’m sure this is a sensitive and private topic for most people, but Phaedra does mention it here and there and I always thought it was unique, so it’s interesting to see what she has to say about this part of her life.

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

Phaedra opened up about the funeral business in an interview with The Daily Dish. Interestingly enough, Phaedra has actually been in charge of the funeral arrangements for people she has been close with which has to be both an honor and a somewhat uncomfortable experience.

Phaedra admitted, “You know this has been a very interesting year because so many celebrities that I worked with have passed I’ve had the opportunity to do their funerals and be a part of the planning process and just preparing their bodies.” I feel like that has to be a strange experience, but Phaedra actually only does funerals for people that she knows and has a bond with. That seems like an odd standard to me, but that’s something that’s important to her.

The RHOA star revealed, “Really the only funerals that I ever do are people that I love and people that I’m connected to.” I feel like that would make things tough, but I guess it does make sense since she would be more invested than if the dead person was a stranger.

RELATED: Phaedra Parks Wants More Boom in the Tomb at Funerals, Brags About Her Wedding Guests

Since Phaedra only does funerals for people she’s already connected with, it’s especially important for her to give considerate care to their family members. Phaedra explained, “And so it’s important for me when it is someone that I know to give them the level of care and service. I’ll give it to everyone, but to make sure that not only there’s care during the process, but there’s after care because a lot of people think the funeral is the big event — and it is; it’s your last party — but it’s the after care when everybody’s gone and the people stop visiting that people really need the pep talks, the words of encouragement, the prayers.”

Ryan Serhant And Emilia Bechrakis Honeymoon In New Zealand – Photos

Ryan Serhant And Emilia Bechrakis honeymoon

Silly (not rich) me, when Ryan Serhant and Emilia Bechrakis got married in Greece in July, I assumed the trip would be a wedding and a honeymoon in one. Um. Not so much. Last week, the Million Dollar Listing New York couple headed to New Zealand for their official honeymoon. #jealous

Looking back at the past year, Ryan reflected, “I can’t believe this year is over. My team grew in size by 20%. We increased gross commissions by almost 40%. I got married! And I am on the way to New Zealand for our honeymoon! I have everything I need!”

Gretchen Rossi Sued By Her Lawyers For Not Paying Legal Fees

Gretchen Rossi sued

Gretchen Rossi sued

Getting sued by a lawyer seems like an impossible battle to win, but apparently that is what going on with former Real Housewives of Orange County cast member Gretchen Rossi. She supposedly has a lot of unpaid legal fees.

I am not super shocked by this to be honest. I mean those Gretchen Christine handbags aren’t going to buy themselves – if they are still a thing. I have no idea if she’s still pushing those or not since she isn’t on the show anymore. I only see her on social media when she’s spitefully randomly hanging with Vicki Gunvalson and Kelly Dodd to mess with Tamra Judge.

CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE

According to TMZ, Gretchen is being sued by the California law firm Brown & Charbonneau, LLP “after she stiffed a law firm for hundreds of thousands of dollars.” That seems like a #TotalSladeMove. Or at least I imagine it would be since the last time Slade Smiley was on RHOC, Gretchen was whining about his debts.

According to the suit, Gretchen’s debts go back to 2013 for one payment of $285,000 and another for $16,000 for some sort of harassment case. I am just hoping the suit has something to do with Bravo and/or her former cast mates. I could totally see her suing the cast for talking shit about her and labeling it as “harassment.”

RELATED: Real Housewives Of Orange County Season 8 Secrets Revealed

Gretchen says this whole mess is a “misunderstanding” (of course) and that she plans to pay them after she “collects in an unrelated legal matter.”

So I guess she isn’t selling that many handbags?

Vanderpump Rules Recap: Tea For Losers

Lisa fires James again

Lisa fires James again

Get your Tom + Katie tea towels ready to clean up the muck that has become Vanderpump Rules!

Recovering from Christmas and an ultimate cookie binge, the last thing I’m in the mood for is whining from Katie Maloney and Stassi Schroeder. But, alas, I am nothing if not a consummate professional, so I have wrenched myself from the sluggish glut of a living room filled with wrapping paper (how many calories does wading through wrapping paper burn?) to complete this recap. Happy holidays! Katie just blew her life savings on $18.00 custom tea towels, and her life now consists of hatefully glaring at Tom Schwartz while folding said towels into cardboard boxes, wrapping the whole thing with twine, and mailing it. In case you were wondering wtf: that’s her wedding invite.

CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!

Compiling the invites is so labor intensive, Katie’s mom and grandma are in town to help cobble this ridiculous thing together. Tom 2 dips out to plan a trip to NASCAR. No doubt he’s trying to figure out the best way to speed right out of this wedding and do so with lightning, sparkles, and pissing Tweety bird t-shirts!

Luckily, Stassi and Kristen Doute stop by to complain about the all-horrible Scheana Marie. I mean…I get it, but love the one you’re with (unless you’re with Katie – then question it!).  Stassi is also bitter about the $18 tea towels, mostly because she’s now sans-Patrick and the only thing that towel will be doing is wiping up her tears as she’s forced to bring her little brother as a date to Katie’s wedding.

Later, when Katie shows the invite to Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa sort of flips through it, perplexed, while trying not to laugh. Instead, she scoffs that Stassi is ruining Katie (again) and re-transforming her into the mindless mean girl no one could stand. Katie sulks, pouts, and snaps that Lisa is insulting because she so-does have a mind of her own. And with that mind she is choosing to blame Scheana for the fact that Tom 2 doesn’t seem to want to get married.

And Scheana is more confused than ever about what she’s supposedly done wrong. She’s so mixed up, she even turns to Shay for advice! She stares at him with confusion while he explains that her friends are bullies and she should dump them.

Luckily, Scheana can always turn to her enabling mommy for some real, solid advice. Scheana’s mom is very worried she may not only be kicked out of Montauk, but also out of Katie’s wedding – the horror! – and she lectures Scheana to make everything right before it’s too late! This explains so much about Scheana.

RELATED – Stassi, Katie, & Kristen Insist They’re Not Mean Girls!

Kristen diagnoses that Scheana isn’t fake, she’s just so image-conscious she’ll do anything to make people like her, including Skinemax adult movies.

Can I interrupt this recap to complain about the nails on these girls? I mean, what are those grotesque witches talons they’re all jabbing in everyone’s faces. How are those nails-as-weapons even legal? Just barf. Chief offender is Lala Kent.

Oh Lala – apparently her Range Rover is the most exciting thing to happen at SUR since Lisa discovered what frying goat cheese does to the intermittently single girl’s soul.

Now, even Peter (SWOON), who can hear much better now that his hair isn’t covering his ears, has heard that Lala’s married man bought her the car. Even Lisa sizes up Lala’s Loubs and her designer purses and starts to speculate just what kind of relationship this girl is in. Except, Lisa brushes it aside using Katie’s tea towel as Lala wanting to be provocative.

But, um,  why do these people care? Like 3/4 of the girls who work at SUR are probably doing the same thing Lala is. Stassi even admitted if she could convince a rich guy to date her she’d do it, for air conditioner alone probably! I’m more concerned about Lala’s abuse of makeup than I am about anything else she’s doing. I swear, that girl got a Fisher-Price My First Makeup Kit and is just smearing the damn stuff all over her face to see what sticks. Lala – your face is supposed to be the same color as the rest of your skin. #HelpfulHints

Stassi believes Scheana needed to be yelled at

Back to the Three-Headed SheBeast that is Stassi, Kristen, and Katie – Stassi still doesn’t believe she did or said anything to Scheana and warns that it had to all be said for fear of a drunken outburst in Montauk. Oh, and they’re also gonna be livid if Scheana bails on Montauk – cause how dare she?! Because god forbid anyone corrupt the preppy stripes and lobster patterns of such a classy vacation destination with lowly drunken meltdowns! Speaking of, I don’t know if Kristen can find Montauk on a map, which means she may get lost and wind up vacationing in Montana. Or Atlantic City, which is more her speed anyway.

Kristen does manage to find Jax Taylor at boxing class. She’s presently annoyed at how boring her grown-up relationship with Carter is. She just pines for the wily, unpredictable ways of Jax. She and she alone. Except Jax may be semi-maturing as he talks Kristen through the reasons Scheana’s feelings have been hurt by the Three-Headed SheBeast Of Sur.

Perhaps his life is flashing before his eyes because poor Jax is about to undergo a mastectomy. OK, I don’t know what was going on in his chest, but apparently his moobs had some sort of supplement build-up from the fake testosterone counter-acting with all the alcohol he’s consuming through vodka and there was a bad reaction that caused lumps? Now his chest is all full of hardened plastic goop. Is it just the corroded fake insides of his soul hardening?

Jax gets surgery

Obviously, Jax has no plans to stop drinking or supplementing, and Brittany Cartwright – or rather Brittany’s hooters – are there to play nursemaid post-surgery. Jax lays on the sofa moaning and groaning until the Toms arrive with presents – then it’s all ZING! I feel better presents! presents! presents! They appropriately give him a Hooters T-shirt.

Jax is also preoccupied with his upcoming trip to Napa Valley for Ariana Madix‘s birthday because duh, duh, duh…. LALA will be there! And I mean, how will he ever manage to survive a few days with a person of such questionable, unconscionable behavior?!

RELATED – STASSI COMPLAINS THAT LALA IS THE STAR OF THE SHOW!

Since this episode was all about mommies, Stassi’s also appeared. She’s bossy and wine-sucking too. First, Stassi’s mom yells at her for being too poor for an apartment with AC. Then, when Stassi confesses that she thinks this time she’s like for-realz broken up with Patrick, her mom sort of shrugs and sips her wine. She’s convinced they’ll get back together again, because Stassi needs a date for that wedding.

Alas, no one’s life is more in shambles than James Kennedy‘s. Since being fired, he’s landing better and hotter DJ gigs, has the hot L.A. girlfriend every man considers the ultimate accessory, and he’s been sober for one week. But still something is missing… That something is the loving chastisements of Lisa. He finds her at SUR to grovel for his job back, but she rips him a new one about being an arrogant, unapologetic ass and toxic presence whom she doesn’t want around. She also says he should probably stop thinking this DJ thing is a good idea because he SUCKS.

James grovels for his job back

Dejected, James is forced to slink out past the infamous dumpster so his Baby Beamer can encase the smithereens of his fragile ego, like a turtle shell for arrogant, elitist pricks.

Finally, everyone who was invited, jets off to Ariana’s birthday trip. Last minute it is revealed that Tom 1 rented an RV and that Katie has allowed Tom 2 to attend this trip even though Lala is on the guest list. Hmmmm… so curious. So Scheana isn’t even allowed to look at Lala, or offer a pathetic apology, but Tom 2 can vacation with her? Shouldn’t Katie be more concerned – after all Lala is convinced she can make Tom’s d–k work, right!? Perhaps Katie is more worried about tea towels and Stassi’s opinion.

Lala bails on Ariana's birthday trip

Luckily for all involved, Lala bails at the last minute. Everyone is at the airport, even Jax and Brittany were willing to chuck their morals to associate with Lala on this trip, but she never appears and they board the plane without her. Tom 1 is pissy, but Ariana is predictably impassive.

This must be where Lala quit mid-season. Poor Scheana – she so could’ve had that NASCAR spot!

TELL US – SHOULD SCHEANA MAKE AMENDS WITH STASSI AND KATIE? DID LALA DO THE RIGHT THING IN BAILING ON SUR AND THE TRIP?
