Another Pretty Little Liars wedding is on the horizon! (Warning, spoilers ahead for PLL's June 6 episode. Look away now or prepare for a life of vaguely threatening texts if you complain about...Drama on deck! Tonight’s episode of Below Deck Mediterranean looks like it won’t disappoint.
The Malia/Wes/Adam triangle rages on. Lauren Cohen gets an earful after Malia overhears her gossiping to Hannah about her kissing session with one of the guys. Lauren tries to explain that she was just happy to see someone on board getting some and attempts to make light of it, but Malia is not having it.
Adam turns into a raging a-hole after a guest sends back their food – after requesting no onions, which Adam ignored as a silly request. Adam laments that these “new money” people just want excuses to return plates of food over and over, unwilling to see that he’s just stubborn and not doing as he’s asked! He then takes a bit of that hostility out on Hannah, who is simply the messenger.
The crazy kicks off at 9/8 C. Join us in the comments for a virtual viewing party!

It’s become pretty obvious that on Southern Charm Savannah the person in the position of odd woman out is Ashley Borders. Don’t feel too sorry for her, though! She has a pretty good outlook on the first season of the newest Southern Charm, even if things seems rough with her marriage under the microscope, and questions about what she really does for a living.
Throw in there her cast mates suggesting that she doesn’t have a great relationship with the truth, and Ashley does seem to be painted into a corner as the Kathryn Dennis of Savannah. But through it all, Ashley explains that she is a straight shooter who says she is still grateful to be able to have this new experience to be on Southern Charm Savannah with people she has known since childhood.
Ashley explains that even though she went to Savannah Country Day with most of the other folks on the cast of Southern Charm Savannah, she has always been different and felt different than the others.
“My parents were both doctors, and so instead of spending my summers in the south, I spent them in third world countries,” she said. “Many people I know have no idea how people really live in poverty, and I see it first hand. I’ve lived in foreign countries, and speak different languages. It is part of my life experience to learn about others. That is my path, and it’s not the way many others choose to live.”

Ashley says she went into Southern Charm Savannah with no expectations, but she wanted to have an experience. She says that she believes in living out loud, and more than just having a feminist agenda, she sees herself having a humanist agenda.
“I certainly believe in having equal rights for women, but even more than that, I believe in equal rights for everyone, of every sex, race, creed, and color.”
Ashley also explains that she didn’t go the whole way through school with her SC Savannah crew.
“I started modeling at 13, and graduated Savannah Country Day early, at 15, and left town and went to college. I can live in Savannah as long as I know that I can leave.”

But then there is the recent elephant in the room, and that is the rumor that Ashley secretly works at the Savannah airport for Delta in order to make a living. Ashley is calling some big ole B.S. on this subject. Ashley says that she heard from a friend about working a shift or two each week at Delta, and in exchange, she gets to fly anywhere she wants int the world as a benefit.
“The house we have, and the car I drive are all through what I make as a stylist,” Ashley explains. “But in working two shifts a week, I have gotten to use $100k in just the last year to fly around the world. To me that’s worth it. To me, I’m smart for figuring this out.”
So why did she keep it a secret, and what does she do for two shifts a week?
“I wasn’t sure, and I’m still not sure that it was supposed to be something I shared on national television,” she says. “I’m still not sure it won’t go away now that I spilled the beans.”
As for what she does for Delta, she says she is not a baggage handler, though she explains that she would do it if that’s what they asked.
“Generally I move the orange cones around on the tarmac! I’ll do whatever they ask me to do. I don’t think I’m too good for any job.”

First come The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, then comes Bachelor in Paradise. Well, at least that's the journey for some contestants. The original cast for Bachelor in Paradise season...
Not even Hurricane Matthew could drown my sorrows as I watched last night’s Southern Charm Savannah. I’m really trying here, y’all! For the most part, I like the cast (save a couple). Lyle has some great one-liners, and Hannah Pearson and Happy McCullough seem nice enough. I think I’d like drinking wine with them, right? Then why can’t I get invested in this spin-off? Not even a crossover could help!
Last night’s episode resumes with the cast gathered at that heated dinner party. As Daniel Eicholz continues to school Nelson Lewis on his racial slur, Nelson feigns shock and offense. How dare Daniel quote what he said in his own home? Daniel counters that if Nelson ever hears him say something offensive, he has Daniel’s full permission to call him out on it. Nelson wasn’t being genuinely racist, he just meant the term in an allegorical sense. Allegorical? Happy is in tears, and Azam comes to her defense as he tries to educate Nelson on how his words affect others. Louis is rolling his eyes at Nelson’s ignorance, as Happy recounts how it feels to be the victim of racism because of her relationship with Azam. Lyle McKenzie leads the charge to end the dinner party, as Nelson storms out ahead of the crowd. Is he a racist? HELL DAMN NO!
Catherine Cooper follows Nelson out–she knows he meant no harm, but he needs to learn to hold his tongue. Nelson is grateful for her support. She can sympathize with how the independently wealthy are ostracized by the lower class. He can say what he wants as long as he doesn’t intend it to be derogatory. Catherine is quickly realizing Nelson may be a lost cause. Having flipped the switch, Louis Oswald and Lyle are taking Daniel to task on the front porch for saying he related to Azam. Seriously bro? Louis calls him a whiny kitten as Lyle chastises him for comparing Azam’s experiences with Daniel’s exclusion from a local men’s club. It’s not because he’s Jewish…it’s because he annoys the membership committee. You keep telling yourself that, guys!
The following day, the crew is evacuating Savannah before Hurricane Matthew arrives. Ashley Borders sends her husband and son on to Augusta with a promise to follow behind. First, she needs to meet with Catherine in the park to rehash the evening’s rumors. Catherine apologizes for listening to and perpetuating the gossip surrounding Ashley but cites her hurt feelings in the wake of Ashley’s cheating allegations. The girls hug it out before getting on the road (separately). The guys head to Charlotte to drink through the storm while selling some of Louis’ socks on the side. Matthew coincides with Louis’ Charlotte pop-up sock shop (try saying that three times fast!) debut, so this trip was already planned. As the guys begin the mass exodus, they discuss philosophy, politics, and whose girlfriend gives the most Blow-Pops. Classy, gentlemen!
Hannah is navigating Catherine and another friend to Atlanta, but a quick call from Louis changes the trio’s course. Charlotte it is! Hannah is a bit excited to be crashing Louis’ “business” trip. She’s always wondered if he’s hocking his sock line in bars.
Ashley is Driving Miss Nelson to Augusta, and he is still reeling from the attack on him at the dinner party. He compares himself to being misunderstood like Trump was with the locker room talk. He also tells Ashley that he showed a great deal of restraint by not reminding Daniel that nobody is perfect. Recognizing that Daniel is “of a different faith,” Nelson made sure not to throw in his face that the only perfect person to have ever walked the earth was Jesus Christ. I really, really, really want Ashley to educate Nelson on religion, but she is so shocked by his comments that, for once, she is speechless. Upon arriving at Ashley’s parents home in Augusta, Nelson quickly hops on the family piano for a snappy rendition of Ode to Joy. See guys, he’s not racist. He is all about uplifting those around him.
In Charlotte, the guys are using a sock pop-up shop as an excuse to take shots and flirt with pretty patrons. Because Andy Cohen had enough foresight to know that this spin-off was going to need some of the original star power, Shep Rose and a few of his cohorts have also sought refuge in the Queen City. Shep and Louis went full Lou at the Masters one year, and Lyle and Shep once howled at the moon during a Caribbean wedding. They are kindred. Hannah isn’t feeling the full Lou, although she’s happy to see him in his sock-selling element.
Back in Augusta, Ashley cries to her mom about her relationship with Dennis. She is lonely. She can’t catch a break. The only opinions she cares about belong to her mom, dad, and God, and the first two briefly kicked her out of the family when she got pregnant at nineteen. Wow! Izzie looks young to be twenty! After a night of antics in North Carolina, the Savannah crowd is evacuated from their hotel after a pulled fire alarm. The forced wake up call is a good excuse to start some day drinking. Across town, Shep tries to snooze through his alarm as his evacuation pal Austen Kroll facetimes with Chelsea. She’s suffering from FOMO, and I am trying to piece together the timeline of this show as it relates to the original. Has Shep already tried to make-out with Chelsea? Why are Shep and Austen so buddy-buddy?
Over pedicures, Catherine and Hannah check in with Happy who fills them in on the massive flooding brought on by Matthew. Catherine’s oldest sister Anne joins them, and Catherine admits that their parents are foaming at the mouth for one of their three daughters to tie the knot. She jokes that neither she nor her sisters are in any hurry to walk down the aisle. While the girls are pampering themselves, Louis, the self proclaimed “Sock King of the South” is touring a sock factory. He’s recently purchased enough pima cotton to fashion 50.000 pair of socks, beating out the self proclaimed “Sock King of the West” Rob Kardashian.
On night two of the hurricane party, Southern Charm original and 2.0 are hitting the bowling alley. T-Rav is every bit the bowler you would think he’d be. He hits on Catherine and the pair argues about the correct pronunciation of “Cooper.” She then inundates Thomas with her relationship woes. She loves Lyle very much, but she is terrified of settling down while being fearful of disappointing her family. Plus, it is taking her a hot minute to adjust to living in the same town as Lyle. Catherine is pleasantly surprised to find that Thomas doles out decent advice. Unfortunately, the fun grinds to a halt when the group realizes just how serious Matthew’s wrath is on their city. Louis admits that he wasn’t taking the storm seriously, but everyone now seems to be recognizing the gravity of the situation. Upon returning to Savannah, the friends are faced with downed trees and power outages.

It’s hard to believe there are so many plastic surgery disasters that Botched is in its fourth season, but thankfully it is! Super doctors and best buddies Terry Dubrow and Paul Nassif reveal that the upcoming season is their most unique yet and viewers are in for the unexpected. I can only imagine what that means… I mean in the past they’ve even dealt with Farrah Abraham!
According to Terry they received over 10,000 applications and decided to dedicate this season to conquering the seemingly impossible. “This is a very unique season,” he warns. Many of the patients are the “worst of the worst” and “need the most help.”

“And so, the definition of impossible has been thrown out,” Terry continues. “We’ve operated on them and we are seeing complications of our own as a result of trying to fix the impossible.

“This year, we’ve now taken it to the next level where we don’t even know how to say ‘no’ to patients anymore. So we’re taking patients that have the most incredible complications that we’ve seen,” Paul adds, “telling them that they will have a complication, they do have a complication…”
But it’s for a good reason! Paul explains to E! News, “We’re actually doing it because their lives are destroyed and we’re trying to help them.”
Many of the patients are on “body modification quests” according to Terry – and they willingly go to extremes. “It’s an alternative level,” says Paul.
Among their craziest patients is a group of people who call themselves ‘Smurfites’ and “want to live and be like Smurfs,” shares Terry. “And they have plastic surgery in order to achieve that goal. It’s weird…”
On a persona level this season is also unique for Paul and Terry. Meaning their weight. “There’s been a very unfortunate weight gain in half of us,” jokes Terry. “I love food!” defends Paul.

On Terry’s weight loss Paul begrudgingly concedes his partner’s accomplishments. “I gotta tell you – he is shredded,” acknowledges Paul. “His abs do look good, but his ass has become very flat like a pancake. Me: I have a nice, round, cute bubble butt.” Well I guess we know where our eyes will be focusing this season!

All together now: Almost Paradise! The time has come, Bachelor Nation, to once again enter a world of talking animals, crab-infested waters and endless booze. Yes, Bachelor in Paradise...There is certainly no love lost between Gizelle Bryant and Monique Samuels. And if Gizelle has it her way, The Real Housewives Of Potomac cast mates will not be giggling together at a sleepover anytime soon.
In her blog, Gizelle maintains that she is in the right when it comes to the spat between Monique and her – and she’s still waiting for an apology, ya’ll! At their lunch meeting, arranged by Charrisse Jackson-Jordan to broker peace, Gizelle shares, “all I’m thinking was that an apology needed to be on the menu and served. It should come somewhere between the appetizer and the entree so that I can have an enjoyable dessert.”

Alas, no apology came. But Gizelle maintains, “I’m not one to get caught up in the minutia. I don’t care who shot John, when or why, just apologize sincerely and let’s have a drink.”
Gizelle doesn’t think she shut Monique down either, although Monique begs to differ. Gizelle explains, “The only person that told Monique to shut up was her Mother-In-Law, not Gizelle. I think this was the only time that I wanted Monique to continue to talk because I was waiting for an apology to fall out of her month. Yep, still waiting.”

As for the “trick” talk Monique was spouting, Gizelle reacts by explaining why she didn’t (and may never) share her phone number with Monique. “Up until the phone moment I had not seen a sincere bone in Monique’s body. Last I checked my phone number was MINE, it’s not written on any bathroom wall or bus stop. God gave me something called good sense. Good sense tells me that if someone is talking trick trash about you, they should not, could not or will not have my phone number.”
She also doesn’t want to be invited to any of Monique’s FIVE HOUSES in the future, apparently! About the birthday party she wasn’t invited to, Gizelle snarks in her blog, “I LOVED not being invited to the kiddie carnival. Gracias!”
Ah, but will she love being slowly cut out of scenes if Monique’s star rises on the franchise? Note to Gizelle: Remember where your paycheck comes from, lady: On. Camera. Drama.

Orange Is the New Black returns for its fifth season on Friday, June 9. It's been a year since we last checked in on the prisoners of Litchfield and four since the show debuted on Netflix back...
Love her or hate her, you have to admit that Lala Kent definitely knows how to keep things interesting. A lot of the time when I say “interesting,” I actually mean frustrating because it’s just so hard to know what to believe with her. From the (possibly married) boyfriend, to the nondisclosure agreement, to whether or not she’s back on Vanderpump Rules next season, the story is constantly shifting with Lala. Even though she recently said the show started filming without her, she majorly hinted that she was back in the game in a recent post on social media.
Honestly, I would not be shocked if Lala returned to the show. She is working at SUR again. She is constantly showing off her renewed best friendship with Scheana Marie and Ariana Madix. She is in a prime position to (actually) have a story line…. aside from discussing her mystery relationship with a person who refuses to appear on camera.

Of course, nothing is officially official until filming is done and the episodes are edited together, so who knows if Lala will actually be included in next season’s episodes or not, but it sure seems like she’s ready to give us Lala- whether you like it or not. Lala posted a screen shot from filming with the caption “@bravotv” and the video camera emoji. That seem like a dead giveaway to me.
Then again, it’s really hard to rely on anything Lala says, but I am inclined to believe this one. Only time will tell if Lala is back, but if she is I’m sure she will be back with a vengeance and gunning for the Witches of WeHo.

This Is Us' Pearson clan is hitting the streets, well, the Street, with Billy Eichner's Billy on the Street. Toys R Us'--sorry, This Is Us' Chrissy Metz, Justin Hartley, Mandy...As The Real Housewives Of New York returned to the Berkshires, so did the unhinged craziness. So, maybe it’s Dorinda Medley’s home that’s to blame? Bethenny Frankel seems to think so! She jokes, “It’s not me. It’s the Berkshires. Here we go…I mean three years in a row is a record.”
In their blogs, Bethenny and Luann de Lesseps break down the drama, and share some insight on just how differently they see the world. Though Bethenny still may think Luann is making a huge mistake in marrying Tom D’Agostino, she admits, “Luann had strength. I felt badly, and who knows if I was projecting. I just wanted to make sure she felt safe to jump on a lifeboat if she needed to.”
Backtracking from her more aggressive stance on the matter earlier this year, Bethenny now says she wishes Luann well – but reminds us (again) that marriage did not turn out so well for her. “I don’t walk in her shoes. I have been through hell, and I truly wish her all the happiness in the world in her marriage and her life.”
Previewing the blow-up with Ramona Singer poised to hit this week, Bethenny reflects on her bizarre and erratic behavior at dinner: “Ramona was lathering it on so thick that it was uncomfortable. I think she had an orgasm when she won that bunny.”
Bethenny continues, “I truly tried to simply let her know to not apologize, nor walk on eggshells and that she really, for reasons you will soon learn, has not been a good friend.” Hmm. What are these reasons we will “soon learn?” I’m betting it has to do with 1) Bethenny’s business, or 2) Bethenny’s daughter. Because those areas seem to be the red hot pain buttons in her life, and lord knows Ramona knows how to push both.
RELATED: Ramona Singer Cannot Believe Bethenny Frankel Does Not Think She’s a Good Friend
Until the “sh-t hits the fan,” Bethenny closes her blog with kind words for their long-suffering Berkshires host. “Dorinda did make it nice. The food was good, the atmosphere was authentically holiday-ish, and I tried my best to not stab someone in a shower. I am sorry that it always gets screwed up for her.”
Luann’s take on the trip was basically, Another day, another Tom attack. Meh. Who cares? She writes in her blog, “You can tell a lot about a woman by observing her body language. This is what struck me most while watching this episode. Regardless of what the ladies said about Tom, I remained cool and collected, because I know it’s not true. The smile on my face was real, because I was really happy!”
As for Ramona’s body language – which frankly looked akin to that un-dead girl climbing out of a well in The Ring – Luann comments that it “was all over the place…literally! Dorinda’s furniture didn’t stand a chance. Thank goodness her boyfriend is a dry cleaning expert. When the girls started a fire in a non-working fireplace, did Dorinda freak out? No, she stayed focused on us while her house filled with smoke. I’m so glad Dorinda is one of my bridesmaids. She’s a loyal friend and an amazing hostess.”
Now, on to the matter of Tom – which shall go down in Housewives history as the story that just won’t die, no matter how little life Luann gives to it. It’s like the fire in Dorinda’s non-working fireplace: lots of smoke with nowhere to blow but back in their faces.
“Getting married is a big deal, and most brides feel a bit nervous before walking down the aisle. It’s normal to have pre-wedding jitters. I believe in marriage, and that is why I took my decision to marry Tom very seriously,” defends Luann.
“As for Tom and I having an occasional spat (as lovers do), we don’t harbor grudges. Also, Tom and I are of the same mindset when it comes to looking forward, not back. I tried to share my perspective on life and love with girls, especially with Bethenny, but they weren’t having any of it. I think in the end, the girls finally realized that Tom and I are getting married and that we are both looking forward to a life of happiness together. Love wins the day.”
Well, we’ll see about that. But Dorinda certainly wins for most gracious hostess to this messy lot!
