It looks like Kash Biermann is healing up nicely! Reality star Kim Zolciak shared another update on Kash’s dog bite and included a photo of the wounds he suffered. And it’s seriously breaking our hearts to see his injuries! Poor little man.
Kash was bitten and rushed to the emergency room just two weeks ago, causing Kim to have to bail on her scheduled WWHL appearance. She thanked the doctors and nurses for doing everything they could to help their family during the scary ordeal.

This week when Kim showed up on Watch What Happens Live she said that she could not comment on what exactly transpired and has been keeping quiet about whether this was a bite from one of her own dogs or someone else’s.
This afternoon she took to Instagram to show the bite to her followers and to share how far his healing has come in just two short weeks. This could’ve been so much worse, so he’s one lucky little guy! Kim gushed, “Kash and our entire family want to Thank each and everyone of you for all your prayers!”
Kim reiterated what she shared on WWHL, that his vision was going to be totally fine! “Kash has healed up incredibly and has perfect vision in his left eye. Stitches on his water line, and his eyeball was never touched! God is Good! We are so incredibly thankful and blessed! In no time he will heal up perfectly and you will never know this happened!”
She gushes thanks again to the team who took care of him, “So thankful to Dr Joseph Williams (chief of plastic surgery) and Dr Berland (Tomas Eye Group) their quick decisions and impeccable work doesn’t go unnoticed. THANK YOU. Kash has taught me so much through this experience. When life hands you lemons make Lemonade. #IBelieveInAngels #GodIsSoGood.”
We wish Kash continued healing and hope this doesn’t leave any lasting trauma/apprehension when it comes to his love of dogs. He’s quite the little trooper!

Below Deck Mediterranean is sailing into its second week with first female leader, Captain Sandy Yawn, at the helm – and she doesn’t plan on taking flack from anyone! That didn’t stop some of her new crew from questioning her right out of the gate, however. Captain Sandy says getting push-back early on is par for the course, though, and plans to lead by example to keep them in line.
Yawn explains her strategy: “Being a female captain in this industry is challenging and inspiring because I thrive on problem solving. Being a woman in the male dominated yachting world is an advantage due to my ability to multi task while managing the emotions of the crew. I choose not to come from a place of power and control and it really, really works.”

Rather than intimidate her crew, Yawn says, “I like to empower my crew to be the best they can be. I cultivate, educate, and teach my crew to reach their capabilities and have goals without shaming or demeaning them. When the meltdowns start to come, I take my crew for ice cream and I show them that it’s not the end of the world, but at the same time let them know what I expect from them. This is where my energy as a woman helps me with leading people. I have worked for bosses before, and a boss sits at a desk or at the helm and tells people what to do — I prefer to be hands-on, firm, and compassionate. That’s how I navigate my leadership.”
Um, ice cream? Not sure if that’s going to cut it with the surlier staff – but, hey! It’s a change from Captain Lee Rosbach’s traditionally gruffer strategy (at least in word, if not always in deed), so might make for an interesting dichotomy.

Despite her more nurturing management style, Yawn maintains that she is no pushover. She survived being chased by pirates at seas, after all! She recalls, “Let’s remember pirates are thieves at sea. It takes place in the Red Sea! Not a fun place for one to be drifting. My training kicked in and I wondered if I would make it out of there alive.”
Much like surviving pirate attacks, Yawn plans to “navigate” her way through season two of Below Deck Med carefully. She explains in her Bravo blog that she’ll “lead by showing the crew what I expect not telling them what to do. When I am pushed, I don’t push back, I navigate.”
Tonight is a new episode of Below Deck Mediterranean! “Hannah continues to struggle with working under the close eye of Captain Sandy. After a mishap with the anchor, Sandy realizes her new deck crew has a lot to learn if they are going to have a successful charter season. Bobby develops a crush on Malia and rushes to her aid when she suffers a freak accident. As the guests enjoy a uniquely themed dinner, a slip of the tongue by Adam threatens to ruin a carefully planned surprise. And, a wild night of partying leads to a major argument as Bobby clashes with Hannah over interfering with his past relationships.”
Joins us here in the comments to watch the show at 9/8 CST!

I can’t say that I’m surprised by this news: former Dance Moms star Abby Lee Miller has been sentenced to a year and a day in prison. She is not the first reality star to get in trouble for fraud and weirdly enough I’m sure that she won’t be the last.
I don’t get why anyone would think it’s a good idea to brag about a successful lifestyle on a reality television show when they don’t want to pay taxes or accurately report their earnings- yet it keeps happening.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
According to a report from Deadline, Abby will serve her time at a prison in the Los Angeles area and she will be on two years of supervised visitation after that.
After getting indicted on twenty counts of fraud and hiding $755,000 in earnings, Abby also has to pay a $160,000 fine.
Truthfully, she lucked out since she could have been locked up for five years and had to pay five million in fines.
The stress of weekly dance competitions is nothing compared to this. Abby begged for a favorable sentence and even blamed her Dance Moms fame for her poor judgment- which doesn’t even sound like an actual excuse to me.
I’m sure that all of the dance studio owners who competed against Abby and the mothers who had issues with her over the years are reveling in her demise. Unfortunately for Abby it really doesn’t seem like she has anything or anyone left these days.

Who will be sitting at American Idol's judges' table? No, you haven't time-traveled back a few years, when the headlines were dominated by reports of American Idol's...When Scheana Marie and Mike Shay’s separation was announced right before the last Vanderpump Rules premiere, I couldn’t help watching every episode with a bit of analysis. Whether Shay was in a scene or not, I couldn’t help reading into every single thing with the current knowledge that they were going through a divorce.
Weirdly enough, Jax Taylor was right when he said that he had “milk with a longer shelf life than that marriage.” Most viewers felt bad for Scheana after learning that Shay just left and drained all of their money, but there’s also a good amount of fans that felt like Scheana was putting up a front about how good the marriage actually was. Scheana explained why she lied about her relationship and Shay’s philandering and how she even planned out their “story line” before the show actually started.
CLICK “CONTINUE READING” FOR MORE
I really want to like Scheana. I mean how could I not feel sad for someone who (allegedly) got her checking account drained and was cheated on, but it’s just so hard when it seems like she was lying through her teeth for the past couple seasons. I don’t blame her for wanting to put up a good front and deal with her relationship in private, but she definitely has a lot to explain. Scheana shared a lot in a recent interview with Heather McDonald for her Juicy Scoop podcast.
Right off the bat, Heather asked what we were all thinking: “If you were just living your lives as Shay and Scheana [without the show] would you have gotten married at that time?” Scheana admitted, “I’ve thought about that so much and I want to say yes, but I feel like we did maybe rush it a little. I was twenty nine and I felt like that was a time when I was ready. We’d known each other for a long time, we’d been together for three years at that point. In hindsight, there a lot of red flags that I just kind of swept under the rug. It built up to be quite a large pile and I just kept walking over it.” A majority of the fandom would definitely agree with that last part.
A majority of the fandom would also agree that Shay’s appearance during the reunion was beyond awkward. Heather asked, “Why do you think he did agree to come?” And Scheana told her, “Contractually, he didn’t have a choice.” Then where was Shay all season? He skipped out on most group events for “late night nights in the studio,” so I had no clue that Shay was contractually obligated to do anything for this show.
It comes off to a lot of people like Shay was reluctant to be a part of the show, but Scheana insists, “We signed up to do this show together so I’m so sick of people being like ‘You dragged him into this. You can tell he never wanted it.’ We were together for a whole year before there was Vanderpump Rules. He knew I wanted to be in the entertainment industry and when the idea of this show got brought up, we had a really long talk about it. What should we do? And we both agreed that we wanted to do it.”
That’s not super surprising, but it got weird when Scheana said, “Jokingly, we were like we are going to get engaged Season 2 and get engaged Season 3, have a kid Season 4 or 5. We were joking about it.” That probably wasn’t the best thing to reveal when so many people have accused her of being fake.
Scheana continued to explain their “joke”: “It was all like hypotheticals and we had no idea if the show was going to be a hit or get picked up. It did get picked up and it was Season 2 and I was like ‘I don’t want to know when you’re going to propose, but do we still like stick with our plan?'”
She also shaded Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney when she said, “We were in this together. It wasn’t like I was like forcing him the way a lot of people felt with Katie and Tom because she gave him that ultimatum.”

She continues to liven things up by blasting her co-star (and now-nemesis) Gizelle Bryant in her newest blog. Monique accuses Gizelle of living off her ex-husband and being totally obsessed with Monique’s money and possessions.
She doesn’t hold back when explaining her thoughts on Gizelle, “This woman is so money hungry it’s ridiculous. I’ve never met a woman who is so obsessed over my wealth, my homes, and my husband. She seriously needs to get a man!”
Monique continues, “I just think it’s comical that she’s making comments about me and my husband’s bank account, which she knows nothing about, while she’s living off of her EX-HUSBAND at this very moment! Whatever arrangement she had in her previous marriage does not apply to me. She’ll never earn her own money because she clearly has no business sense. She said it herself last week, “They know business, I know beauty.” She’s way too old to be this clueless. Poor thing (no pun intended). I’m glad to be put in the same category as other bosses such as Scarface and the Godfather. Luckily I earn my living honestly, LOL! By the way, I love those movies!”
On Ashley Darby meddling in everyone’s relationships: “either express concerns one-on-one directly to the person or completely stay out of it. I don’t want to see Charrisse beat her to a pulp NJ style! Ashley, you know I love you girl, but come on!”
RELATED: Monique calls Gizelle a consistent liar
When asked if she broke down to her pastor over Gizelle, she clarifies that she got emotional over her mother-in-law issues, not because of Gizelle! “I have always wanted a big happy family on both sides and it hasn’t been the case, so it breaks my heart. The judgment that Gizzealous displays is just another reminder of my mother-in-law. Out of respect for my husband, I DEAL with my mother-in-law. I DO NOT have to deal with Gizelle. Thank God for that!”
On a different note, she had only kind things to say regarding Charrisse and Gizelle sitting down with Robyn and addressing the weird relationship with Juan, “I thought it was a very mature act of friends offering their advice and support. This was a much better way to express their concern of Robyn and Juan’s relationship and to make sure she is really okay. If you are a real friend, you shouldn’t want them to “mind their business” because technically, you are their business. I didn’t think of this sit down as Charrisse and Gizelle being nosy, but they really wanted to comfort Robyn and gain more understanding of her and Juan’s living arrangement.”

Oh Lord. So basically Southern Charm Savannah is like Saved by the Bell: The New Class. Mr. Belding is the only common staple while the new kids are just caricatures of the original cast we’ve grown to love. In the case of these shows, a beautiful Southern backdrop is the common element while the new kids are a mish mash of our Charleston darlings. Nelson Lewis, with his European girlfriend and over-the-top elitism is basically Whitney-Sudler Smith with Cooper Ray’s one-liners. Ashley is Jenna from season one, back from the big city with a bit of an edge, while possessing the dinner party hosting skills of Thomas Ravenel. Lyle Mackenzie, Daniel Eicholz, and Louis Oswald are equal parts Shep Rose and Craig Conover, and Catherine Cooper wants to be Cameran Eubanks but she’s falling incredibly short.
Two years ago, a Savannah-raised law clerk at our firm spent lots of time name dropping Landon Clements and partying with Shep at Republic. He said Landon had enlisted him to help scout folks for a Savannah based spin-off that she was pitching to Bravo. Obviously, I didn’t believe him then and now I’m eating crow. That said, I’m hooked.

Stealing a page from the OGSC, the episode starts in the future with an over the top dinner party where the guests do more screaming than eating. Sound familiar? We then backtrack to see the new crew starting their days on the quaint streets of Savannah. You have to hand it to Bravo…when something works, the network is going to run it into the ground!
Nelson Lewis greets Ashley Borders at his giant home. They are besties because they enjoy early happy hours and talking about their private school days. Nelson comes from a long list of storied politicians and feels ego maniacal calling himself a blue blood but it’s totally true. Catherine Cooper joins the crew. She’s intrigued by Ashley. They didn’t know each other well at Savannah Country Day, and Ashley recently resurfaced in town as this cultured, striking mystery who risks an oyster bed disaster by jumping off the top of the dock into the intercoastal waterway.
Hannah Pearson dates Louis Oswald, but she and Daniel are cooking dinner to celebrate Louis quitting his job. Forget stocks, he’s designing socks. How Rob Kardashian of him! She feels like the dorm mom at a frat house. Hannah did not go to Savannah Day because she grew up in Atlanta, but she’s pretty sure her prep school was its sister school. I mean, if it wasn’t, I’m not sure these folks are allowed to be her friend, right?
Meanwhile, we learn Ashley bucked her parents wishes of continuing the MD train by becoming a fashion designer. She has lived all over the world, from Europe to Dubai, and it was a fateful Ray Charles moment that had Georgia on her mind. She promptly packed her bags and moved back home. It is hard for her to be a designer in a small Southern town, but she wants her son to have the same Savannah experiences growing up that she did.
Catherine Cooper is the granddaughter of a Colonial Dame, and she knows that there were thirteen colonies at some point. She recognizes that she probably should have spent more time at the library and less time at the bars. Catherine has enlisted her father to assist with party preparations. She’s hosting a welcome home fete for her prom date at Savannah Day (duh). Lyle Mackenzie is returning after four years in Atlanta, and he’s ready to get hitched to his long time love. He’s celebrating his first night back in town with Louis and Daniel, his best friends from Savannah Day, of course. We learn that Louis has a penchant for Hangover-esque behavior which they call “going full Lou.” Passed out in a hotel lobby without your shoes? That’s full Lou! And perhaps from whence the sock inspiration came.
After her parents moved out to her grandmother’s plantation (she hates that word, for the record), Catherine has taken up residence at her childhood home…although she never really left. She does have a crash pad downtown so she can be close to bars when she wants to go out, but she thinks her parents’ abode will be the perfect place for Lyle to move in and settle down. It’s also the setting for Lyle’s homecoming, and he’s familiar with every inch of the property thanks to high school hook-ups.
That afternoon, Ashley arrives with her husband Dennis followed by Whitney Nelson and his European girlfriend Kat. P.S. Nelson is not gay. He and Ashley are very quick to point out that heterosexual blue bloods have a certain flair. He has worked for several prominent Republicans and Fox News. There is a scandal there, but I haven’t googled it yet. The status of Catherine and Lyle’s relationship is a mystery to their friends. Lyle is smitten, but Catherine refuses to put a label on it. Regardless, she’s excited about her pig-pickin’, as is Ashley who calls dibs on their dinner’s skull. Ashley admits she was a bit of an outsider at Savannah Day. She didn’t do cotillion.
Sidebar, there is a girl at the party who sounds just like Landon if you close your eyes. Her name is Happy McCullough. Ashley is going to be the girl who always wants to go swimming. If she had a housewives tag line, that would be it.
Remember that story I was going to google about Nelson? Catherine’s party planner Brendan beats me to the punch. Nelson pretended to be a Congressman, mouthed off to a cop, and ended up being splashed across the tabloids. Some may call it crazy, but he cites it as performance art.
Ashley is having a hard time convincing anyone to join her in the river, and she still feels like an outsider with this crew. Catherine is going to make sure that continues, I’m sure. Ashley hopes to get on her good side by offering up the pig skull as a wedding present when Lyle pops the question. It seems Lyle was ready yesterday to make things official, but Catherine coyly evades him.
Daniel is the hot one with access to his dad’s credit card since practically birth and a plucky housekeeper. He grew up with a platinum spoon in his mouth with had aspirations to move to Florida post-college. However, his dad’s embezzlement charge and prison time derailed him. Daniel moved home to run the family’s law firm and put food on his table. It taught him the value of hard work, and now he’s wealthy in his own right.
Later that evening, the girls are gathering over cocktails when Ashley gets a call from her son that her house is on fire. Her friends decide the mature thing to do is to leave the bar and go check on Ashley’s home. But first, to-go cups! Firetrucks galore are on the scene, and Ashley’s husband and son are being taken to the hospital to get checked for smoke inhalation as a precaution. Clearly, the folks of Savannah are coming in hot!

Considering that reunions are never a good thing, this won out as particularly debased. “All the energy from the lies, screaming, inappropriate sex talk, name calling, and cursing was just too dark, toxic, and negative spiritually for me.”
RELATED – Peter Expresses Disappointment In RHOA Cast
“My heart went out to Kandi. She had been battling the lies that Phaedra and Porsha said about her all season,” sympathizes Cynthia. “It’s really disgusting and sad to see grown women make up blatant, disgusting rumors about each other with absolutely no remorse, receipts, or confirmation of truth.”
For Cynthia this was absolutely a line too far and she offers this warning, “There should be limits morally and legally as to how far you are willing to go to try to hurt someone and their family. I was grateful to not have been affiliated with this garbage in any way. Thank God the truth finally came out, and Kandi was vindicated.”
“I honestly believe that if the vicious lies don’t stop amongst our circle, it will be our downfall,” Cynthia added. I think it already has been the downfall. Phaedra is not coming back. Kandi was rumored to be considering legal action. And the show lost one of its executive producers over the situation. They need to regroup, majorly recast, and rebuild. It’s far too late to just hodgepodge things together with the current cast.

Bonner Bolton is fine with coming in fifth on Dancing With the Stars. In fact, he and professional dance partner Sharna Burgess knew they weren't going to win. "I'm just so...Talk about a double shot of Southern Charm! After Craig Conover acted like a straight-up asshat to his girlfriend Naomie Olindo, it seemed that the only solid couple on the show could be crumbling. Of course, use it Cameran Eubanks to swoop in with some love potion for her faint of heart co-stars. Shep Rose needs all the help he can get as he bid farewell to his latest slumber party guest. Why can’t girls just leave when he’s still sleeping? Why do some insist on sticking around…even suggesting lunch? The nerve! As he laments his love life, Shep takes a call from his doctor. His liver is inflamed and he may want to seriously think about cutting back on the alcohol–like completely. It’s a wake-up call for the eternal frat boy, for sure! Across town, Whitney Sudler-Smith is plotting with his mother Patricia Altschul to bring together Thomas Ravenel and Landon Clements. T-Rav has been feeling down and out about his player ways and needs a pick-me-up…preferably one with lady bits. Pat recalls a time when Landon approached her for life advice. Perhaps this is her calling? It sure beats internet dating!
Cameran is showing property to a very tardy Craig. He can’t seem to get anywhere on time. Craig finds one thing after another wrong with the potential investment property. Popcorn ceilings? Smaller bedrooms? Cameran tries to remind him that he’s going to be renting out this house, not living in it, but it’s not up to snuff for his portfolio. Um, that portfolio is empty, son! Cameran wonders how Naomie feels about this potential purchase, and Craig skirts the question. Cameran suspects that Craig is just telling Naomie what she wants to hear, but that is no way to build a relationship. Craig isn’t happy to learn that Naomie has spoken about their rifts to Cameran, and he admits that he will begin to resent her if he has to appease her at every turn. Laying the smack down, Cameran raises her voice. Does Craig understand how marriage works?

Kathryn Dennis tries to reconnect with Shep, and she suggests meeting after her yoga class the following day. On his new health kick, Shep decides he’d like to join her. This should be great! While he’s working on his fitness, Austen Kroll takes Chelsea to one of my favorite spots, Holy City Brewing. Chelsea is very flirty as Austen tries to educate her on the subtle notes of Dorchester Lite. He recaps his bro code conversation with Shep on the basketball court. Austen believes all is good in the hood as far as him pursuing Chelsea is concerned. Chelsea teases that the enjoyed having boys fighting over her, but it’s obvious she only has eyes for one Peter Pan.
While their lunch is heating up, Cameran is dining with Shep and her hoo doo doll at Poogan’s Porch, a delicious restaurant steeped in ghost stories galore. As Shep passes on a cocktail, he relays to Cameran the phone call from his doctor. She is happy to hear that he’s making a healthier change, and perhaps now he’s ready for the full package…a wife, two kids, and a house on Sullivan’s Island. While Shep is still wary about the full package, the hoo doo love doll Cameran gifts him is not. She explains to Shep that she was going to put a spell on Shep to fall for Chelsea, but now she’s going to let him use it to pursue his dream girl–when and if he finds her. All he needs to do is leave the doll on her door step, and it will take care of the rest. I can’t think of anything more frightening. Plus, the anatomically correct magic Mike has Shep a tad envious. Doll is hung!
Finally, more scenes with Michael the butler! He’s setting the table for Pat’s casual dinner party, but she’s neglected to bring her bell. She hunts down Mr. Belvedere to make the place cards. Yelling from room to room is so gauche. Whitney turns up his nose at her fold over placards, but she reminds him that its a dinner party for his friends…they don’t notice details like that! In fact, she loves hosting his crowd as she can purchase all the liquor from Costco and they’d never know the difference. I really, really want to run into Patricia at Costco. It would make my year.
Things between Naomie and Craig are still tense, but he’s trying to blow off some steam by embroidering cats on their fancy pillow cases. When she asks about his day, Craig reveals that he’s found the perfect house to begin his portfolio, but he doesn’t want to show it to her and have her rain on his parade. Why can’t she be supportive? Landon calls to ask about their attendance at Jennifer Snowden’s sip-n-see, but she really just wants to rub in her invitation to the exclusive dinner party. Craig pretends not to care while accusing Naomie of being too caught up in socializing. He needs to get it in check.
Cameran is the first to arrive at Patricia’s, and Whitney shares that he and his mom are attempting to be millionaire matchmakers. While she’s not sure this is the best idea (what if Cameran burns down Pat’s manor?), she’s all about stirring the pot. As the potential couple arrives, Thomas is quick to note the small guest list. This is certainly a set-up, and he’s happy to have Pat’s seal of approval. Over dinner, the crew snickers at Craig’s new hobby before turning to Landon’s love life. Whitney bluntly announces that her current boy toy seems really dumb. He’s a total himbo. Landon doesn’t do much to defend her beau, asserting that he’s safe because he doesn’t want anything serious. Cameran jumps in to suggest that T-Rav and Landon give it a go, and Thomas blushes and fumbles over his words in agreement. Whitney asks if T-Rav would make Landon sign a prenup if they make it to the alter, and she claps enthusiastically while bounding in her chair. “I LOVE this game!” Thomas insists he trusts Landon and wouldn’t require a prenup, but Patricia poo poos his stupidity. Someone who makes every decision with his pecker should use protection.
Kathryn cites yoga as a big part of her recovery, claiming it keeps her mindful and present. Shep is a good sport (and not a bad yogi) and certainly doesn’t mind the view of his classmates. After class, Katheryn delves into her progress during rehab, and Shep shares that he too is making better choices. He’s been making smoothies instead of hitting the town. That night, Austen’s parents come into town from Kiawah to take him to dinner. The self-described mama’s boy enjoys this time until his folks start lecturing him on supporting himself. Sure, he’s living paycheck to paycheck, but he’s fine with it. His dad reminds him that if he ever wants to settle down and have family, hand-to-mouth isn’t going to cut it. They recommend he come up with a business plan, but that’s too scary a notion for Austen. He’s not ready to put down permanent roots in Charleston.
The crew convenes on Jennifer’s house for cocktails and baby holding. Shep is bright-eyed and bushy tailed, and he handles an infant with ease. He’s even more adorable with Kensie. Naomie arrives sans Craig. He was running too late for her. When he gets to the party, they avoid each other like the plague. Naomie admits to having her feeling hurt regarding Pat’s party, but Cameran sets her straight on the premise for the evening. Jennifer slips back into her role of town crier and goes to Craig to dish on the fact his girlfriend is complaining about him to Shep and Cameran. Oblivious to the drama, T-Rav fawns over Landon while joking about how a million dollars used to be a lot of money. As the party winds down, Naomie is ready to head home, but Craig digs in his heels, chastising her for leaving him earlier. When she counters, he calls her a child. Oh no you didn’t, Craig!
