For Drew Barrymore, playing a human flesh-hungry zombie real estate agent and mother came at just the right moment. Barrymore stars in Netflix's Santa Clarita Diet, a comedy from Better Off...I wish Vanderpump Rules had longer episodes. Or at the very least, I wish some uncensored scenes got put up online. I just want to know what really happens when it comes to the sex, drugs, and other antics. Thankfully, Tom Sandoval spilled some piping hot tea about all things Pump Rules.
Tom discussed Jax Taylor’s (alleged) drug use, Katie Maloney’s Tequila Katie moments with those infamously mean drunk texts, Scheana Marie’s divorce from Mike Shay, everyone crashing James Kennedy’s performance, and Kristen Doute’s comedy. Not only that, but Tom also shared some of his own jokes that were too much to be shown on Bravo.

I don’t even know where to begin with this one. Tom shared a lot of good info on the Pump Rules Podcast.
Tom opened up about Kristen, her boyfriend Brian Carter, Scheana, and Jax crashing James’s music gig with the sole intent to make fun of him and (continue) to expose his extremely obvious adultery.
Tom stated, “It’s really f–ked up though. He’s already fired from SUR. He’s pretty much away from everyone. Then Kristen, Carter, Scheana, Jax, all go way out of their way to this place on Hollywood Boulevard just to troll him. It’s embarrassing. I would never do that shit. I would never. All these people made choices.”
Well yeah, but at the very least it got James some airtime for his music. I highly doubt the show would include so much of that if it wasn’t for the social controversy involved.

And those SUR/Pump girls who showed up were so obviously looking for camera time in my opinion. There’s no chance in hell that they were innocently mislead by James.
Tom echoed my thoughts when he said, “If they slept with James when he had a girlfriend, they cannot for one f–king second act like they didn’t know he had a girlfriend. I mean, James posts everything on social media.” Exactly. Plus I’m also just so confused by why so many women are publicly admitting to sleeping with James. Why not just leave that in the past and act like it never happened?
Aside from the continued hatred toward James, another ongoing story line this season is everyone calling out Katie for her behavior. Unfortunately, this season has not been a good look for her and a big part of that has to do with her Tequila Katie alter ego. I have no idea why, but everyone just bows down to Katie this season and defends this behavior. I get that there is obviously a lot more to her that the viewers don’t see and I’m sure that a lot of those aspects are good, but unfortunately the positive elements rarely make for good TV. So, unfortunately for Katie, a lot of her edit includes bridezilla behavior and harsh drunk texts.
Tom laid out the situation pretty clearly: “Here’s the thing: if Katie is at home watching movies with [Tom] Schwartz, I don’t get mean texts. People don’t get mean texts. It’s after she’s been out.” Tom also added, “I’ve gotten texts before that said me and Ariana [Madix] are the source of all her and Schwartz’s fights. What a ridiculous thing to say to somebody. And that’s not coming from somebody that’s f–king sober, I’m sorry to say.”
The best part of Tom’s interview was when he talked about what we did not get to see from Jax’s birthday roast. Tom admitted, “I tried to stay away from the ‘how many girls’ because I knew everybody was gonna go that route, but I knew people weren’t going to talk about drugs, so I knew I was definitely going to talk about drugs.” YES. Finally: someone keeping it real.
RELATED: Eternal Damnation
One thing that got cut from the episode was a joke that Tom directed toward Brittany Cartwright’s mom Sherri Cartwright: “Sherri, I heard the other day you asked Jax if he found a church out here. Dude can’t even find the f–king bag of coke he bought five minutes ago.” I really wish that one made the show. I would have loved to see how everyone reacted to that gem.
Tom also supposedly joked, “That septum is deviated alright with baby laxative residue, partially told lies, and fragments of one hundred dollar bills.” Tom also added, “He kicked in the door and said ‘I can’t find my teeth’ and how it’s ‘always allergy season’.” The host cut in and said he was at the roast and overheard Sherri say, “Oh yeah, he’s always sneezing.” Tom sarcastically added, “Oh yeah, mid-December is bad allergy season.”
Speaking of jokes, apparently Tom is not a fan of his ex Kristen’s comedy. Tom stated, “Kristen was never really funny. She was never somebody who made me laugh. Ever. I can think of numerous times where Kristen was super caring or like motherly to other people or other many positive things, but I can’t actually think of one time when Kristen actually made me laugh. Not one time.”
I personally disagree. Kristen is hilarious – not always on purpose, but she always gets in on the joke when it’s about her.
The interviewer asked why Tom and Ariana did not go to Kristen’s comedy show that she put on with with Pump Rules friend Rachael O’Brien. Tom explained, “Some of Kristen and Rachael’s friends are not just kind of trolls, but they’re full blown angry trolls. They were waiting on the sides if we showed up.They had this whole thing they were gonna do planned with me and Ariana. It was apparently pretty intricate.”
Related: Tom And Ariana Talk Vanderpump Rules
Apparently this isn’t the only time Tom and Ariana have faced some trolls. Tom shared, “When we were on Watch What Happens Live too, apparently there were some people that were gonna call in. Somebody tweeted at Ariana warning her that they were going to call in like ‘I just want to ask Ariana how she does her hair.'” And then the interviewer cut in, “Full blown divert with something they didn’t clear with the screener.” Tom confirmed that with, “Yeah.”
Well, that’s shady as hell. I’m curious about why/how that’s pinned on Kristen exactly, but then again this is the same woman who got in touch with a stranger from Miami and persuaded her to confront Tom while he was in the middle of working a shift at SUR.
One topic that Tom can’t really shed light on is how Mike Shay is doing these days. Tom admitted, “Yeah, I haven’t actually talked to Shay. I think he has a different phone number now. I think he and Scheana were on the same phone plan and so she like took him off. I totally understand that. I don’t want to take sides.”
I wish Tom kept it one hundred on Vanderpump Rules. I have no idea if he tries to say these things and they get cut out (like with the roast jokes) or if he’s just trying to keep things appropriate for TV, but I would love to see all of these accusations play out on the show.

But while Southern Charm executive producer Whitney-Sudler Smith and Bryan Kestner (who would become one of Southern Charm’s executive producers), with the help of Kestner’s then fiancee, Dawn Price, put the initial pitch together, it was for a show called Southern Gentlemen [view the sizzle reel video here]. Dedicated fans of Southern Charm might remember Bryan Kestner as the person mentioned by Patricia to son Whitney as someone he should consult before going into the restaurant business. Patricia told Whitney that he should go into business with Kestner instead of Shep because Kestner had experience with Planet Hollywood. Kestner ended up being involved in the Southern Charm restaurant that never was called Generalissimo.

The premise for Southern Gentlemen was to be a series followed “four of the richest and most eligible bachelors as they enter the height of The Holy City’s invitation‐only social season.” The show was going to allow viewers to be their plus one as they navigated the society season that ended up being part of Southern Charm.
Southern Gentlemen had Southern Charm‘s guys each ensconced in a bachelor bad, with Whitney Sudler-Smith‘s 17th century antebellum mansion, Thomas Ravenel’s “equally impressive” Downton Charleston historic home, Shep Rose‘s family plantation on the outskirts of Charleston, and Craig Conover’s Downton loft, near the law school, and local drinking establishments. And the unscripted script treatment suggested that these guys are on the prowl, and not ready to settle down. But in the short-term, they need a gal who “can do the foxtrot, and hold her liquor.”

Just over a year after being released from her time “at camp,” Real Housewives Of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice has reportedly paid off the big chunk of change owed the government from her unlawful activities.
Teresa has paid in full the $414,581 restitution fine she and husband Joe Giudice were slapped with in their 2014 court case, which found both Giudices guilty of tax fraud. Since that time, Teresa’s wages have been garnished to pay the sum. One can assume that those wages have largely come from Bravo – or from Teresa’s memoir about life behind bars, Turning The Tables, From Housewife To Inmate And Back Again, which inexplicably became a NY Times bestseller last year.

TMZ reports that “the prosecutor’s already notified the court she’s all square,” but that Teresa still remains under “supervised release for about a year.”
Fans of RHONJ have been divided on the curious case of Teresa, and whether she should remain a cast member of the Housewives franchise after being branded a convicted felon. Some argue that Teresa and Joe are paying their debt to society, while others see them as a poor example of pretend wealth and dubious morality. (Although, is there a Housewife out there who can be dubbed a positive role model!?)
RELATED – A Run-Down Of Joe And Teresa Giudice’s Day(s) In Court
Though Teresa and Joe may have paid their financial debts, it remains to be seen whether their lifestyle will be carried out in better accordance with their means from here on out. Teresa has claimed over and over again that she’s learned her lesson, but doubt remains. The delusion has always been strong in this family!
Joe, who is currently serving his 41-month prison sentence, also faces possible deportation after time served – not a scenario Teresa seems willing to face, much less discuss.
In the mean time, Teresa will be back next season on RHONJ to show us how “honest” living is suiting her. And how she allegedly loves, loves, loves former nemesis, Danielle Staub, who is slated to make a shocking return for season 8 of the show!

2017 is only a month and a half old, and already Netflix is having one whopper of a busy year. Since January 1, the streaming giant has dropped new original series One Day at a Time, A...Judge me if you just, but I have to keep it real when I admit that I’ve seen every single Real Housewives episode multiple times. With that said, I cannot help favoring some story lines over others – the Real Housewives story lines that got dragged out way longer than they ever should have.
Some of these plot lines were juicy at first, but just got beat to the ground. Then there are other things that happened that none of us cared about, yet they got dragged out for two or more seasons. Either way, there are plenty of story lines that did more than outstay their welcome.

Who said romance is dead?! Thanks to his four stints within The Bachelor franchise, current Bach Nick Viall has gotten pretty comfortable dating on-camera. Some might even say a little...I cannot help wondering if Bravo is paying Kim Richards for being the constant story line during this Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season. Kim isn’t even a cast member anymore and has only made a couple appearances, but it seems like Lisa Rinna and Eden Sassoon cannot keep her name out of their mouths.
This puts Rinna‘s bestie, Eileen Davidson, in a tough spot when it comes to Kim. Not only that, but Eileen had issues of her own with Kim two seasons ago. Rinna wasn’t the only cast member Kim was yelling at when the group took that trip to Amsterdam. Now, Eileen is over the Kim talk, and she’s not automatically taking Lisa’s side when it comes to this never-ending feud. Still, Eileen insists her friend is “really trying” to not talk about Kim, which I find extremely tough to believe.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
To be honest, I don’t get why Lisa Rinna is a Housewife. She barely hosts any events and she has no story lines of her own other than stirring the pot. I don’t blame Kyle Richards for wanting her to “sew her lips shut.”
Eileen opened up about being in an awkward place when it comes to Rinna and Kim’s interaction during a recent interview with The Daily Dish. Eileen explained that time really does seem to heal old wounds when it comes to her previous beef with Kim, “I felt like whatever happened two years ago, I had a reason for saying what I said, which really wasn’t that much of a big deal.” Tell that to Rinna.
Rinna and Eden will not stop talking about Kim and questioning her sobriety even though neither of them are at all close with her and she’s not even a cast member on RHOBH. I wish they would follow Eileen’s lead on this one and just stop talking shit about Kim. Eileen admitted, “I’m not seeing any problems. She seems happy and healthy, and I celebrate that. I’m happy for her. I’m ready to move on from that. I don’t want to drag this woman down. She’s been through Hell. She’s doing great, I want to applaud that. So to be talking about it, I’m just like, ew.” Exactly. Rinna and Eden using Kim‘s life for their own screen time is the epitome of “ew.”
RELATED: Eileen Says Kim’s Sobriety Should Be Off Limits
The part where I find it hard to agree with Eileen is when she tries to group Lisa in with her as someone who has moved on from talking about Kim. It is not just Eden who won’t drop the Kim sobriety topic. It is Rinna too. And it can be argued that Rinna is the one that instigated Eden’s curiosity when it comes to this.
Eileen insists, “[Lisa] goes, ‘I just don’t want to be involved in this. I’m walking away.’ We both kind of felt like, you know what, Eden’s going too far with this.” RIGHT. It’s the perfect time for Lisa to “walk away” now that she has completely set up Eden to attack her enemy. Lisa can just run over to Kyle to console her over the Kim gossip and let Eden do all of the dirty work while Lisa “forgets” what she said in conversations with Eden.
Eileen continued, “Lisa said some things I didn’t even know she said until later, and that was unfortunate, because it kind of brought all the Kim stuff up again, but I think she’s really trying to move on.” Yeah, I don’t know about that. I feel like it isn’t too difficult to stop talking about someone, especially when there are reality TV cameras and angry social media users to keep you in check.
RELATED: Why Must All Roads Lead Back To Kim Richards?
I know Eileen is trying to be a good friend to Rinna here, but Rinna needs to dig herself out of this one and live up to her own personal mantra and “own it” when it comes to all of the trash talking and pot stirring she did about Kim.
Maybe Kyle is not enabling Kim’s sobriety, but Eileen is enabling Rinna’s pot stirring and desperation? That sounds like a logical argument to me.
At the very least, Eileen isn’t just blindly supporting Rinna’s point of view when it comes to Kim. Eileen said, “Lisa makes her own choices. I don’t agree with everything she does. I can sometimes understand why she does it, but I am not Lisa, and Lisa’s not me. So, if she had a differing opinion of what I did or said, I would completely understand and never expect her to back me up on it.”
Again, I just want to know if Kim is getting paid for providing so much content for RHOBH this season because she is the center of attention even when she’s not in the scenes.

The final battle between the queens is officially here. Reign's final season kicks off tonight, and fans should not expect the CW royal drama to go quietly into the night. No, no, no,...A couple weeks out from her Vanderpump Rules exit, Lala Kent is reflecting on her experience and how she feels about her former co-stars. Namely that they’re egotistical bitches, and she’s relieved to no longer try and play nice with them.
Lala was a guest on the Just Sayin’ podcast, which is co-hosted by former Jersey Shore star Sammi Giancola. Lala also discussed her relationship with James Kennedy, the non-disclosure agreement, and what’s she learned from dealing with mean girls.
CLICK THE CONTINUE READING BUTTON FOR MORE!
First of all, Lala has no regrets about bailing on Vanderpump Rules, and she has stopped watching the show. She believes the mean girls decided to make her look like the villain to take the heat off them.
“I feel like this season they tried to make it look like they were coming at me because of the way I spoke to Katie, but they were mean to me last season the second I walked into SUR,” Lala points out. “So it’s not adding up, what they’re saying. I’ve apologized a million and one times.”
“I don’t wanna be a part of their clique,” she continues. “You have to know that in L.A., yeah it’s cool to be a part of the show – whatever – but, out here, if I were really rolling around with those girls, like in real life no cameras around – it’s such a bad look.”
According to Lala, the girls are just as bitchy and arrogant in real life as they are on camera. “They think they’re Kardashians! The way that they talk and the way they act, you would think we’re the biggest reality television cast in all of history. It’s like let’s know our place here. Y’all have been on TV for going on 6 years and you can’t even break a million followers on Instagram?! [laughs]”
One of the podcast hosts (I think it was Sammi?), a huge fan of the show, chimes in that she actually met “them” (I assume she was referring to Scheana, Katie, Kristen, and Stassi) and “they were sooo mean” and “snobby.” The guys were “really nice” though (Lala jokes that it’s because they wanted to sleep with her). Lala apologizes and says, “I would not expect anything more than just complete bitchiness. They’re horrible people.”
On the infamous NDA Lala reportedly had James, Tom, and Ariana sign before attending a music festival, she insists James twisted things. “It’s weird to me that people are so shocked by this. It’s like you guys are part of a hit TV show and you don’t have one?” She claims she only has one to protect any future career she may have.
RELATED – More Lies From James Kennedy?
“James wasn’t even at [the music festival] with me,” Lala clarifies. “He was given a NDA because he sometimes likes to film me while I’m stoned, or whatever it may be, and I would like to know what’s being put on the internet, because we all know that he doesn’t have a filter. Tom and Ariana really did go to [music festival] with me and they were never given any agreement.”
Which brings us to the status of Lala and James‘ friendship – it’s over. She won’t explicitly answer whether or not she thinks James cheats on Raquel either.
“I’ve chosen to remove myself,” she says carefully. “James will always be James. I slowly started seeing why people don’t connect with him and why he rubs people the wrong way. But if his girlfriend wants to be one of those brainless people, then that’s her prerogative; if she wants to turn the other cheek, then you go girl. Whatever you want to believe.”
Lala’s friendship with Ariana Madix has also cooled, but there’s no hard feelings. “I don’t wanna say that we’re friends, we’re cordial to each other in group settings. I’ve been out to dinner with her, but it hasn’t been one-on-one.”
They do not discuss Lala’s current relationship allegedly with a married producer, but she does explain why she put up such walls through most of filming. “I feel like I do have to put on this like tough exterior because if you don’t people will take advantage of your vulnerable moments. I am not a mean girl. If you think I’m gonna be this girl who’s sweet and nice while you attack me, you’re out of your mind!” [ahem… Scheana!]
Lala says the scenes filmed with her mom are her “truest, realest form” and how she is away from the cameras. Her mom was disappointed by some of Lala’s comments to her cast mates, and said they were “not okay,” which made Lala rethink some of her behaviors.
RELATED – Lala’s Wings Clipped After Pump Rules?
The whole experience has taught Lala a lot. “Remember that there’s a way to argue with somebody intellectually – you don’t have to go for their looks, you don’t have to tear a human being down. I’ve gone both ways,” she admits, “and I’ve found that you get the best results when you’re authentic with people but also don’t let them shove you around.”
Lala also opines, “If social media is the cause of you being bullied – f**cking get rid of it. If I didn’t have social media, I’d be so far out of that world.”
The positive of being on Vanderpump Rules is that it has brought bigger opportunities. Lala is just about to release her first professional produced EP, a dance or club track. She also exclaims, “A spinoff would be SO amazing!” (It does not seem like there’s one in the works, just something she’d be interested in doing.)

Girls returns with a new very busy player when Lena Dunham's Hannah romances The Night Of, The OA and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story star Riz Ahmed. Well done, Hannah. "That was--I...Now that a few episodes of Summer House have aired, the viewers are really starting to get to know the cast members (or at the very least, they think they are). With that said, people are already starting to form opinions and take sides when it comes to the conflict within the cast. Unfortunately, Lindsay Hubbard knows all about it since we’ve been subjected to her drunk fights with boyfriend Everett Weston (which I am sure are relatable to a lot of couples) and the sad demise of her friendship with Cristina Gibson.
Now, Lindsay is speaking out to defend herself and share what we did not get to see on the show. She also shares her opinions on Vanderpump Rules – the show that introduced us to Summer House. So what does Lindsay have to say?
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE!
Lindsay talked all things Summer House and even a little Vanderpump Rules during a recent interview on the Buttered Pop podcast.
First off, I would love to see a mini-series or something with the Vanderpump Rules and Summer House cast members partying on vacation together, so I will encourage any and all things that associate these shows with each other.
On the podcast, Lindsay explained who her Vanderpump Rules counterpart is and that it’s actually a combination of multiple people. Lindsay admitted, “I think I would be a mixture. From Stassi [Schroeder], I get the detective side of me. Stassi is also a justice seeker. She seeks justice and the truth and I relate to her on that.” I guess that’s why Lindsay went out of the way to repeatedly say that Cristina got fired from her PR job: “justice seeking.”
RELATED: Summer House And Vanderpump Rules Casts Party In Cabo
Lindsay went on to say, “Katie [Maloney] goes to the dark side and I go to the dark side as well. So Tequila Katie, love you. I feel you, girl.” Yikes. I don’t think that comparing yourself to Katie during a season where she’s getting a ton of hate from the fandom is the best call, but I guess we all have unflattering aspects of our personality, so at least Lindsay was keeping it real. Lindsay also added, “And Kristen [Doute], I met Kristen at the beginning of summer and I really like her. I think she has a fun, spirited, good vibe. I like all three of them.” Kristen owns her shit, has matured a lot, and is getting a great edit this season, so that was a good choice.
So what about Scheana Marie Shay? She was with those three during that first crossover episode where they visited Montauk for Stassi’s birthday. Lindsay said, “Scheana I was kind of… She was a little stand-offish.” SHADE THROWN, Lindsay. Poor Scheana, always on the outs for some reason.
Aside from talking about Vanderpump Rules, Lindsay discussed her conflict with Cristina, of course. Lindsay explained, “Quite frankly, I think we drifted apart. I think my goals and dreams and things that drove me were not the same as hers anymore and our friendship worked when we were on a similar page, but then not only were we on different pages, we were in completely different books.” That seems very clear when watching the show. The drunken argument between them went from zero to one hundred, real quick, so it makes sense to say that there was a lot building up before that explosive moment.
Does Lindsay regret saying that Cristina got fired on a reality TV show? Yes and no. Cristina admitted, “I will say first of all that saying ‘you’re fired’ was probably a little bit harsh. I could have been a little more sensitive to somebody in a sensitive position. ” But she didn’t really “get fired” which is the the actual issue here. Just like many reality TV stars before her, Cristina had to make the choice between her real life job and a reality show.
Lindsay also shared, “What you guys don’t see [on the show] is for weeks and weeks before that party, I was helping [Cristina] try and find freelance work at media outlets. I was giving her advice. I was asking if she was OK at all times. She was telling me the whole entire story. This is her story to tell. She can tell you. It’s her business.” It’s “her story to tell,” yet you decided to let the cat out of the bag on a reality TV show? OK, Lindsay.
And in case you’re wondering, Lindsay refuses to back down from her claim that Cristina was “fired.” She even blames Cristina for bringing on that drunken fight that they had. Lindsay explained, “If you can’t see the bigger picture and everything that I’ve done for you, you brought it on yourself. Sure, I could have reacted in some other way, but couldn’t we all? This is life and I’m a human. I’m as real as I can be with everything that I do. So for her to just call me a liar is just offensive because I don’t stand for liars.”
RELATED: Cristina Defends Herself Against Lindsay Hubbard’s Claims
Clearly they were both wasted, but I think it’s just getting to be a blurred situation at this point because the Cristina and Lindsay dispute has two different parts in my eyes: the interns in the apartment and Lindsay publicly stating that Cristina got fired. I get that initially Lindsay was trying to convey that she does have a job and needs these interns to help her come through for the start of her company whereas Cristina was in more of a transitional phase. Still, Lindsay’s comment caused (what I view as) a separate argument about sharing Cristina’s business (and possibly lying about it).
At this point, the fight we saw on TV and Lindsay’s defense of it after the fact are not going too well for Lindsay. Thankfully for Lindsay, Cristina got in other people’s business and started stirring stuff up with other cast members in the most recent episode so at least that was a bad look for Cristina.
Lindsay continued to dig at her former bestie when she said, “She needs to do a little bit of work on how to be secure in her own skin is what’s coming across to me. And that’s what’s coming across in that moment. This is why I use words like ‘jealousy’ and ‘bitterness’ because I do not think she is really comfortable in her own skin and I wish that she could be – like most of the rest of us.”
I can see why Lindsay might not like Cristina. When I think about the Summer House cast members, she is not the first on my list when it comes to people I would want to hang out with. She’s also not second or third…or fourth. But every time Lindsay tries to undercut Cristina, she ends up looking bad herself. Maybe she should just let Cristina make herself look bad on her own.
So was Lindsay pissed off when Kyle Cooke sided with Cristina? She didn’t exactly say that, but her explanation for Kyle defending Cristina was passive aggressive – to put it mildly. Lindsay explained, “I think in the Cristina situation, he sees that I’m strong enough to stand on my own and he sees that I also have a very strong boyfriend who’s protective over me. So I think he feels the need to take Cristina’s side so she feels like she has somebody on her side. Which is fine. I don’t blame Kyle for that. It’s kind of like a job he feels like he needs to do and that’s fine. He and I are very close.” WOW. Clearly Lindsay was just trying to put down Cristina (again) and emphasize that she is in fact a member of the cool kids club as a friend of Kyle’s.
I get what she’s saying to a certain extent, it’s hard to see anyone who feels left out or lonely, so yes, maybe Kyle was defending Cristina since no one else was, and the reality of the situation is that Cristina had to leave her job if she wanted to be on this show and that is what Kyle was defending.

If Lindsay had just defended herself in the intern controversy by citing all of the help she’s given Cristina, the difficult times she was going through in her own life, and the fact that they both pay for the apartment, I think everyone would have been #TeamLindsay. However, Lindsay took the argument to another place when she brought in Cristina’s job situation. Going off topic was what did Lindsay in. If she had stuck to the issue at hand and articulated how much she needed those interns for her career, then we all would have backed her.
Obviously, this is so easy for me to say as a complete outsider and after the fact. In the moment, I’m sure Lindsay was pissed off and drunk so she wasn’t in a spot to devise an effective communication strategy.
Maybe Lindsay will be able to redeem herself as the season goes on? Or maybe in another season? On the possibility of the show getting renewed, Lindsay said, “I think we all hope so. We would love to have a season two. We just don’t know.” I hope so too.

There's reason to celebrate on Scandal: Mellie Grant is going to be president! Or is she? In the Thursday, Feb. 9 episode, Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry) was taken into custody for killing Francisco...You guys – it is SO hard to be Katie Maloney! None of us understands! Since we have all forgotten how amazingly difficult it is to be Katie, thank goodness we have Kristen Doute to remind us!
Katie is taking bridezilla to a whole new level on this season of Vanderpump Rules (Tequilazilla?), which prompted Kristen to get on Twitter to yell at us for criticizing her beloved friend.

Kristen tweeted, “I’m SO f–king over everyone hating on Katie. Have a heart and cut the shit. You actually have no clue what you’re talking about.”
Stassi Schroeder, 1/3 of the triumvirate of she-beastliness, chimed in with, “What she said.” And the tweet had an arrow pointing to Kristen’s tweet.
Huh? How do we have no clue? If Katie is hiding some terrible trauma, then why isn’t she sharing it? Otherwise, we’re going to have to assume she’s a giant biatch based on her behavior.

Since Katie only feels the love for Kristen and Stassi, she tweeted to express her gratitude, “Thank you sister. We’ve been through it all but so glad we found our way back to each other. #sisterhood”
Kristen then compared Katie to sunshine and pine needles, which is only slightly better than carrots, I suppose: “You smell like pine needles and have a face like sunshine.”
Well, it’s nice that Kristen, Stassi, and Katie like each other because no one else seems to. Kristen continued to defend herself and Katie on twitter, insulting viewers with name calling and tit-for-tat nonsense while telling us that she is so above dealing with this.
When one user called Stassi a bully and Katie a mean drunk, Kristen replied, “Are those notes of the heart? You are just a peach, aren’t ya?”
Personally, I do not feel much sympathy for these girls. If you do not want to be called out for being reprehensible here’s a tip: don’t act reprehensibly!

Kristen also insisted that Katie and Tom’s wedding was actually lovely and romantic, because they’re, like, actually in love! “It truly was the best wedding I’ve ever been to,” she told Bravo’s Daily Dish. “It makes me really emotional – like even today talking about it.”
“Schwartz’s vows were even better than Katie’s. It was such a sob fest. Even the guys were crying.”
According to Kristen, who introduced Katie and Tom, Tom pined for Katie for months before convincing her to go out with him. My how things have changed. So, I guess it is just editing that makes it look like Katie and Tom cannot stand each other, then?
