We've officially reached the end of 2017. Looking back, it was an interesting year, especially if you look at and only at television in 2017. There were more shows than ever before,...2017 has been a banner year for the cursed reality TV marriage. It seemed like every time we blinked another reality star filed for divorce!
Some were predictable (ahem Luann de Lesseps and Shannon Beador), while others came as a complete surprise (like Little Women: LA‘s Briana Renee FINALLY kicking sleazy Matt Ericson to the curb or Dr. Jackie Walter‘s husband being caught cheating). And in the middle there were a whole host of other unlucky in love really stars. Including a who a few who actually tied the knot ON TV – only to split in front of the cameras as well.
Below is our rundown of 2017’s reality star divorces. Here’s hoping for many less in 2018!

Ladies and gentlemen, get those crisp, empty calendars out! The time has finally come to say goodbye to the highs and lows of 2017 and hello to a new and totally cool 2018. As...
It’s a family-filled time of year for all of your favorite reality stars who have been posting a lot of photos in between Christmas and the New Year. It seems like everyone went on a family vacation this week… just in time to share some great photos for this week’s Instagram Roundup.
Siggy Flicker took her family to her favorite city in the world: Boca Raton for some R&R. Kyle Richards, Mauricio Umansky, Faye Resnick, and their families spent time in Aspen, Colorado. Bethenny Frankel soaked up some sun on the beach while former Real Housewives of New York star Kelly Bensimon showed off her bikini body in Miami.
Teen Mom star Farrah Abraham took her daughter Sophia Abraham to Qatar and Hong Kong. Real Housewives of Dallas cast member Stephanie Hollman headed to Cartagena, Colombia, to ring in 2018. Kristen Doute went to Atlanta with her man Brian Carter. Briana DeJesus enjoyed Universal Studios in Orlando with her family.
Teresa Giudice spent some quality time with her youngest daughter Audriana Giudice. Heather Dubrow celebrated Boxing Day with her kids. Flipping Out star Jenni Pulos took her daughter shopping at the Tiffany & Co. store on Rodeo drive.
Aside from all the family time, plenty of reality stars enjoyed going out with friends. Kelly Dodd celebrate a good friend’s birthday with a bunch of her girlfriends. Vicki Gunvalson went out with her squad. Cynthia Bailey celebrated her “friend” Will Jones‘ birthday.
Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Margaret Josephs hung out with her costar Danielle Staub and even did a TV appearance with her daughter Jillian Staub as one of her models. Southern Charm alum Landon Clements enjoyed some horseback riding in Santa Barbara. Rasheeda Frost visited Kandi Burruss backstage at her Xscape concert tour.
Check out all of those pics and even more in this week’s edition of Instagram Roundup in the photo gallery below.

For the past two seasons of Vanderpump Rules, Lala Kent bragged about her private jet access and as expected, almost everyone in the cast was suspicious of that and gave her a lot of shit. Now it seems like it’s all good with Lala and everyone on this show because she took James Kennedy, Kristen Doute, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz, Tom Sandoval, Ariana Madix, and Raquel Leviss to Vegas for the night- and you know that they didn’t fly commercial.
It’s wild that all of those people got along well enough to be on the same trip together and that is exactly why I love this show and I’m obsessed with its cast members. They could teach us all a thing or two about forgiveness. Unfortunately most of the action was captured in Instagram story videos that have disappeared, but there are plenty of photos that made it on to their Instagram pages.
I still can’t get over Katie and Kristen hanging out with Lala– and I just want to know if it’s driving Scheana Marie crazy- and their photo captions didn’t disappoint. Aside from thanking Lala for the trip they even made some hilarious references to those infamous nondisclosure agreements. I am living for these new friendships. I just cannot wait to get to the point in the season where they all start getting along and turning up. If these photos are any indication of the episodes that lie ahead, I am so ready.
Check out the photos of the Vanderpump Rules cast members living their best lives on the private jet with Lala in the photo gallery below.

It has been a rough few months for Vanderpump Rules star Jax Taylor and his family. His father Ronald Cauchi passed away yesterday after getting diagnosed with Stage IV cancer a mere two months before.
As expected, the loss is really hit Jax hard. He shared some of his thoughts in a touching post on Instagram.
Jax posted a photo of his father with a long and loving caption. He wrote, “Where do I begin… I lost the best man I knew yesterday, he was my best friend. I didn’t go a day with out texting him a pointless question that usually drove him nuts, but I know he loved it. My dad loved his family more than anything in the world he was the ‘perfect father’ and wanted everyone to get along and be happy.”
He continued, “Cancer took my dad way too soon but I have to hope and pray that god has a bigger plan for him. The two things other than his family he loved more than anything were Detroit redwings hockey and cars.. He was a simple man that didn’t speak much but when he did you listened. I’ll never forget the 5am hockey practices to windsor Canada on the weekends, the numerous hockey tournaments, and the little talks we had if I had a bad game. He was always there for every practice and every game. When I came to Florida to visit it was like seeing my best friend all the time, our countless fishing trips and pub crawls going to hockey games in tampa. ;drove him crazy cuz tampa would always beat Detroit’ yes my parents lived in tampa but Detroit Michigan is my fathers home.” Anyone who follows Jax on social media knows that he has a strong love for hockey. It probably means a lot more to him knowing that his dad shares the same passion for the sport.
Jax shared, “My father never said one word that was negative, he helped so many people young and old…. I could go on and on. I love you dad, you are the best thing that has ever happened to me, I am so proud to be your son. Don’t worry I’ll walk jenny down the isle this summer but we are gonna need your help from above bud.” Jax shared the news of his sister Jenny’s engagement on social media just a week ago.
He wrote, “Last thing.. thank you dad, thank you for giving me everything I needed in life with out a question. I hope one day I can be half the father you are.”
Jax concluded, “Love you so much dad… also thank you to my amazing “rock” my girlfriend Brittany [Cartwright], I couldn’t and can’t do any of this with out you. My father loved you so much as well, thank you for being who you are and for helping me deal with all this, you are my angel and you always will be. Thank you so so much to everyone who has reached out. I haven’t been in a place to respond to everyone but it means so much. #fuckcancer.”

The post Jax Taylor Shares Emotional Message After The Passing Of His Father Ronald Cauchi appeared first on Reality Tea.
As boring as it is to see the women on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills getting along, I am very intrigued by the possible friendship forming between Dorit Kemsley and Erika Girardi. Those two would make a very interesting alliance friendship. Other than those two moving on from last year’s panty-gate scandal, I’m not bored by everyone else hanging out and getting along.
Let’s hope that things rev up ASAP. After two episodes of shading each other, Dorit even made up with Lisa Rinna. Those two going at it was the one thing I thought I could count on this season. Apparently not.
Dorit reflected on the second episode in her Bravo blog post. She wrote, “Of course, I knew Lisa R would be joining us, and although I mentally prepared for her arrival, seeing her face to face for the first time after our explosion in Hong Kong was a bit unsettling.” They saw each other at Lisa Vanderpump’s Diamonds and Rosé themed party during the finale and the reunion. They had face to face confrontations at both events.
Dorit said, “Playing roulette with Erika and Teddi was oodles of fun. It’s 5 o’clock anytime you say it is, in Sin City, so it only felt right to sip as we stacked chips. I feel as though my relationship with Erika has changed for the better, and this trip has a lot to do with that.” I’m actually for this. An Erika and Dorit friendship would make for interesting TV and I would just love to see Lisa Vanderpump’s reaction if this ever happened.
Then Dorit addressed the major moment of the episode: her confrontation with Lisa Rinna. Dorit wrote, “Before taking the High Roller for a spin, I knew I had to clear things up with Lisa R, because I’m not one to be fake—I’ll always tell you how I feel.” And she will tell you the truth in any accent she wants.
Dorit continued, “When I pulled her aside, I had no intention of rehashing old arguments. I simply wanted to be transparent about why I felt hurt, and I was caught off guard when she responded so well and proposed that we start our friendship anew! Maybe she did experience a rebirth, because that’s the nicest Lisa R I’ve ever experienced, and I felt like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.” A Lisa Rinna rebirth? I’ll believe it when I see it. Love her or hate her, Rinna’s messiness has blessed us with some great story lines.
Dorit recalled, “We were all feeling playful over drinks on our last night when Erika revealed a shocking piece of information about her father. She’s very brave to open up about such a sensitive subject, and I really felt for her.” I guess Dorit wasn’t one of the people who thought Erika’s response to an innocent question from Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave was incredibly cold. Maybe Dorit only has an issue with Erika being cold when it’s toward her.
Dorit concluded, “I’m so grateful to Kyle [Richards] for arranging the trip, and I’m happy Teddi took a chance on our crazy group!” Of course Teddi “took the chance.” She signed on to be a cast member. She had no choice.

Hell hath no fury like Mama Bear Benson on Law & Order: SVU. The midseason finale ended with Noah (Ryan Buggle) disappearing while shopping with is grandma Sheila (Brooke Shields). Sheila then...
If you're hoping that the exit of Nathan Riggs earlier this fall on Grey's Anatomy means that the door is open for another suitor to enter into Meredith Grey's life once the show...The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards was spotted doing some shopping before she headed off to Aspen for a holiday vacation. As we now know, shortly after she left her house was robbed.
Before heading off on her own vacation, The Real Housewives of New York OG Bethenny Frankel was photographed out and about in New York City.
Shaunie O’Neal and others served holiday meals to the homeless while Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin were spotted in L.A. after dinner together.
Former Real Housewives of Atlanta star Kim Fields took some time to promote her new book and was joined by her husband Christopher. Check out these photos and more below in the gallery

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills viewers have seen Tom Girardi give Erika Girardi some extravagant gifts and parties. So what does Erika do when it’s her turn to give a present?
Erika recently revealed that she gave her husband a toilet. Yes, a toilet. That’s definitely a unique gift. Then again, I have no idea what you would give someone who can buy pretty much anything that he wants.
In an interview with People, Erika shared that she gave her man the toilet for a Christmas gift. She admitted, “Yeah, I bought him a toilet.” She even shared the price tag: “Seriously, that is the truth. It was a $5,000 toilet, who does this?” It really is Xxpen$ive to be her.
A $5,000 toilet? Is it gold plated? Is it a specific model for one of their two private jets? Erika got Tom a Toto toilet, which is described on the company website as “An elegant skirted one-piece unit, this Neorest offers ecology-minded luxury, with our technologically advanced WASHLET, Tornado siphon jet flushing system, remote control, heated seat and CeFiONtect, an extraordinarily smooth, ion-barrier surface to help keep the bowl cleaner longer.” That’s intense.
Also, for the record, the toilet is actually a little more than $5,000. It costs $5,750 and I assume there are some hefty installation fees since Erika revealed, “It’s getting installed this week; it has to have like its own power source and everything; it’s major. It’s ridiculous. He’s going to kill me. That’s okay.” After Tom has likely helped to fund Erika’s glam squad, music career, in-house chapel, the two private jets, and everything else, he’s not going to care about the toilet- especially since it’s a gift for him.

Oh, the winter TV doldrums. School is out, work is slow, and you've had about enough family time for one year, thank you very much. So you turn to your old friend, the television. But...Luann de Lesseps started 2017 on top of the world. She married Tom D’Agostino on New Year’s Eve in Palm Beach, Florida and she couldn’t stop talking about how happy she was… all the time. Now things have come full circle for Luann. After less than a year of marriage, she and Tom broke up. She ended 2017 where she started it, but this time she probably wishes that what happened in Palm Beach stayed in Palm beach. Unfortunately for her, pretty much everything she does- the good and the bad- is very public.
Luann was arrested for disorderly intoxication, battery, resisting arrest, and she even (allegedly) threatened “I’ll going to kill you all” during the incident in question. Now the Real Housewives of New York star is checking herself into a rehab facility.
Luann confirmed the news to People. She admitted, “After the events of last Saturday night in Palm Beach, I am truly embarrassed.”
She added, “I have decided to seek professional guidance and will be voluntarily checking into an alcohol treatment center. I intend to turn this unfortunate incident into a positive life changing event. Once again, I sincerely apologize for my actions. I have the greatest respect for police officers and the job they do. My actions alleged in the police report do not reflect my core values and my law abiding character. I am so grateful for the love and support that I am receiving from my family, friends and loyal supporters.”
Things have definitely taken a dark turn for the former countess. Hopefully this is what she needs to get back on track and be the Luann that the fans know and love.

Tom D’Agostino pretty much ruined Luann de Lesseps‘ life (and dignity), so after all that, he feels “really sad” that she was arrested last week. Well, kinda.
When Tom learned that his ex was arrested in Palm Beach after a tryst gone very awry, he reportedly told friends that he was feeling “shocked” and “really sad for Luann and her family that they had to go through this over the holidays.”
In a statement, the Real Housewives Of New York star kinda blamed Tom and her return to Palm Beach, where they met and fell in love, as the trigger for her drunken debauchery that led to allegedly assaulting a police officer and being charged with battery among other things. Luann had reportedly – masochistically – not just returned to Palm Beach, but also the Colony Hotel, where she celebrated her New Year’s wedding brunch less than a year before.
According to People, Tom has NO idea why Luann would even be back in Palm Beach and complains that she has “no ties” to the city now that they’ve split. Is he inferring that Lu returned to town to spy on him?
In other news, it’s been reported that Tom will be celebrating NYE, which also would’ve been his one-year-anniversary, with an “unwedding party.” A source categorically denies this to E! News and insists that Tom is actually having a birthday celebration with 75 of his closest lady friends, which has nothing to do with Luann – or any Bravo stars for that matter. So Tom’s very very close friend Sonja Morgan won’t be attending, eh?
An insider reveals that Tom learned of Luann’s arrest on the news and feels “terrible” about it. This second insider reiterates that Tom has no idea why Luann was in Palm Beach, but suggests, “She was due to be at a wedding in Chile for New Years. So it looks like she was getting to Chile by way of Florida.” Guess those wedding plans are also OFF, and perhaps Lu wasn’t stalking Tom after all.

Stars, they're just like us. They play favorites, but then can't remember names of episodes. Rosemarie DeWitt, who appears in Black Mirror season four's "Arkangel," and that...When Kenya Moore secretly got married and didn’t invite anyone in the Real Housewives of Atlanta cast, her girl Cynthia Bailey was happy for her, but she couldn’t help feeling slighted by the snub. Even so, she has remained Kenya’s number one supporter on the show.
It seems like Cynthia has forgiven Kenya for excluding her from the wedding, but she is making it clear that she wants to be very involved for any other milestone occasions in her costar’s life and this includes pregnancy.
In an interview for Bravo’s The Daily Dish podcast, Cynthia shared, “I didn’t get invited to the wedding, but I pretty much threatened her pretty much that ‘As soon as you get pregnant, I want to be a part of this whole process.’ I want to know. I do not want to read it on the blogs.” Fair enough. That was probably pretty hurtful when the wedding news first started to circulate.
Cynthia took it a step further though. She said: “I want to be there when you pee on the EPT stick. I want to be there. I want to be a part of this and I want to be Auntie Cynthia. If you want to, name one of them Bailey if you want to. It’s completely unisex.” Bailey Daly has an interesting ring to it.
Moving on to her own news, Cynthia insists that she is still “single” even though she’s been dating Will Jones this season. Cynthia said, “I was single when Will was in the picture. I am dating. Will is someone that I have been dating. I have been dating him for probably three or four months now. We met at my Fifty Shades of Cynthia party. I just officially became divorced like six months ago and I don’t want to rush into anything. Will is a great guy. Will is awesome and I have no problem being with Will seriously at some point, but right now I’m giving myself time. I’m just not ready. I’m trying to give myself at least a year to just be single.”
Later, Cynthia said what most people thought about this season: “Just from being on the show, it rolled out kind of slow.” It sure did. She continued, “It didn’t really heat up until we got to Casa Leakes. I think it’s gonna be pretty entertaining for the rest of the season.” I hope so!
