Don't know how your day is going, but Connie Britton and Ryan Murphy are having a pretty great one and we just had to let you in on the feeling. Not only did their new Fox drama 9-1-1...
In last week’s Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills, we learned that Dorit Kemsley has Hermes dinnerware, can cook a mean Moroccan stew, and is definitely not over her beef with Lisa Rinna. Despite having called a truce atop a ferris wheel in Las Vegas, Dorit and Paul (PK) Kemsley’s resentment toward Rinna for accusing their party guests of “doing coke in the bathroom” is not yesterday’s news.
First, Dorit reflects on the strange moments that occurred at her Villa Blanca birthday party, including her son Jagger pointing out the “bad guys” at the table – and Rinna giving an impromptu speech! “Jagger calling Erika [Girardi] and Lisa [Vanderpump] ‘bad guys’ was nothing short of an innocent 3-year-old expressing himself through his imagination, as he was in a phase where he loved superheroes and bad guys. On another note, can we talk about Lisa R standing up and giving a speech at my birthday party? For a second, I felt like I was in the Twilight Zone, but after all I’m grateful that we’re in a more peaceful place now.”
Dorit says she was excited to see Teddi Jo Mellencamp Arroyave ride horses, even if she was ridiculously overdressed for the occasion. She jokes, “When Teddi invited us to her horse competition in San Diego, I couldn’t wait to see her ride and, of course, to take advantage of a fierce Kentucky Derby fashion moment. As soon as we stepped on the dirt, though, I knew Lisa R was right to roll up wearing jeans and cowboy boots. I had no idea a ‘VIP area’ meant we’d be sitting on a picnic table with a blanket thrown over it! Oh well. I still love a chance to dress up.”
Even though she was given some major viewer side eye for allegedly cooking at her own dinner party, Dorit claims that she loves to cook – and has the video evidence to prove it! She explains in her blog, “I love to cook! I grew up watching my mom express her love through food, and I followed in her footsteps. I’m very particular about my table settings, and I believe no dinner party is complete without a divine dinnerware set, like the one I splurged on!”

“I wanted to have a one-on-one dinner with Teddi and Edwin because I’m excited for PK and I to get to know them better,” continues Dorit. “From what I’ve heard Teddi say about her childhood, she’s very humble and down to earth, and those are rare qualities to come by in this town.” Yes, rare indeed. Also rare: British accents on a girls from Connecticut. #JustAThought
But Teddi and Edwin had no idea that Dorit and PK were going to unleash a litany of complaints and accusations against Rinna, who they are obviously still upset with. Dorit justifies their behavior, “Over dinner, I felt comfortable opening up to Teddi about my tribulations with Lisa R. Teddi was clueless as to what transpired between us, and I was merely explaining why I feel I should be cautious as Lisa R and I enter this new phase of our relationship. Still, I’m going into it with an open mind and an optimistic outlook.”
Well, optimistic or not, Teddi doesn’t seem like the type of gal to soldier up just because a scorned Housewife tells her to. Dorit better slow her roll with that one.
Tonight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: “Lisa Rinna and Erika fly to Tokyo to support Amelia and Delilah‘s latest modeling gig; Dorit agrees to model for Lisa Vanderpump’s magazine; and when the power goes out at Kyle‘s dinner party, the darkness brings out the worst in one housewife.”

This week’s episode of Real Housewives Of Atlanta was quite an eye-opener for Cynthia Bailey after her mother opened up in a domestic violence PSA about the abuse she suffered from Cynthia’s father.
Cynthia admits to being both “sad and proud” of her mom’s testimonial, but was ultimately glad that Kenya Moore encouraged her mother to participate.
“My mother has never really openly talked in detail about her domestic issues regarding her past relationships with me and my siblings,” explains Cynthia. “Actually, I was surprised when she told me that she wanted to do it, and honestly at the last minute she wanted to back out because she was worried about what her friends and family would say. I know that it was extremely difficult for my mother to address this part of her life publicly and allow her voice to be heard in Kenya’s PSA.”
Cynthia gushed that the entire PSA was a positive experience for all the women. “I always enjoy coming together for good and not evil, LOL! Although we all have our individual power, we are so much more powerful together.”
Cynthia also hopes that after sharing her story her mom will “not only empower other victims of domestic abuse to standup, but also finally be able to heal herself and get the closure she needs to move on with her life.”
The PSA shoot was all the more encouraging because, despite their animosity, NeNe Leakes and Posha Williams managed to put aside their differences for the larger cause. Reflecting on Marlo’s attempt at a reconciliation tea, Cynthia says, “I was happy to be invited to try to help, because I believe that the ladies can move past their issues.”
“As long as there is mutual respect for each other, you don’t have to be friends to be cordial,” Cynthia writes in her Bravo Blog. “I feel that holding on to anger and resentment for too long is exhausting and just not worth it. You end up giving that person way too much power over your emotions.”
Nice sentiment Cynthia, but I have a feeling this feud is going to stay in ‘the petty’ for a long, long time. Or perhaps I’m wrong and the PSA will inspire them to focus on the bigger picture, and move on?

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Yolanda Hadid announced her split from ex-husband David Foster in December 2015- on the same day of that year’s season premiere. What a coincidence with that timing! She left the show at the end of that season and she has been focused on conquering Lyme Disease and supporting her supermodel offspring.
Now, Yolanda is back in the dating game and opening up about the new man her life- without sharing anything super specific, of course.
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the former RHOBH cast member shared, “It’s such an exciting time in my life, being finally healthy and ready to move on to the next chapter.” Why is it so exciting? Yolanda revealed, “I am so in love right now.”
It’s pretty surprising that Yolanda just came out with that revelation. Then again, she does have that show about models and their moms to promote. She knows exactly what to say so she can grab those headlines.
Yolanda continued, “I’m very blessed to have found a beautiful love.” She added, “I’m excited and it’s all good. I’m off the market.” The reality star also confirmed that her new boyfriend isn’t a celebrity and that he is is a businessman.
Yolanda said, He’s a very private person.” She also admitted, “I think that after having such public fiasco in my last relationship, I think that I’m going to try to keep this private for as long as I can and enjoy it.” Then why mention it while promoting a reality TV show? Oh right: to promote that reality TV show.

So, let’s see – cheating accusations are like clowns in a clown car on Vanderpump Rules now. How many cheaters can we cram into one episode here? Seriously, though, they need to refresh the story-writing staff over at Bravo. Or perhaps get a lot of new cast members…
If we were gonna make a seven-layer dip of the cheating scandals it would go like this: Jax Taylor cheating on Brittany Cartwright is the beefy bottom layer. The anchor of this season’s unfaithful dramas, if you will, but that just got amped up by the spicy salsa of audio featuring Jax’s pillow talk with Faith Stowers, in which he said he’d never marry Brittany.
Then we add Tom Schwartz‘s bland creamy makeout with another SURver while he was black-out drunk. Of course then we have the guacamole of Tom 2 basically admitting he’d choose his boys over his wife when Katie Maloney tries to impose sanctions, like a moratorium on ‘boy nights.’ And finally the newest layer – the ultra-cheesy accusation that Rob Valletta betrayed Scheana Marie‘s ultimate ego by making-out with some girl who works at a restaurant called Troca Madera (which I bet we’ll later find out is co-owned by Guillermo), which was seen by yet another SURver. I mean REALLY?!
OK, it’s not quite a seven-layer dip, but give it until next week. Also at least it’s dense, stupidly filling, and regrettably disgusting enough!
But I don’t actually believe most of this crap. Supposedly after Katie is “humiliated” that Tom 2 broke their vows with his Jagermeister-induced makeout, she returns to the apartment to find him bro-ing down with Tom 1 and Jax, who promise they’ll never leave him. Katie, of course, has her troops with her: Stassi Schroeder and Kristen Doute. Also Ariana Madix, who has now put aside all her differences with Kristen to finally insert herself (inertly and half-heartedly) into every drama this season. Maybe since she’s over Tom she has more time on her hands?
Kristen storms into the apartment expecting a huge confrontation, but instead it’s just Katie not even seeming angry or distraught emptily yelling at Tom 2, with some really bad acting while everyone else sat around watching. It was like watching a high school drama class. The only redeeming part was when Jax climbed aboard his motorized cooler (YES!) and puttered back home to his own uncomfortable [empty of conscience] nest.
Even though Jax cheated, Brittany still can’t let him go. Before the incident they’d planned a housewarming party, and now decide to just go through with it despite the uncertain future of their housing together. Cause logic! Everyone is super confused by the invite, but who in this group would pass up free alcohol?
The next day at SUR, Katie confronts Lala Kent, resurgent hostess and originator of the Tom 2 cheating allegation, about what she really knows. How uncanny Lala is back one day and with her these tales!
Lala made her revelation after Scheana told her how Katie was speaking negatively about Lala’s relationship. And an asshole for an asshole (makes the whole world constipated). Katie is furious that Scheana would betray her and actually believes this was a set-up. Like Scheana knew in advance that Lala had dirt on Tom 2 and intentionally provoked her into having a reason to reveal it. I guess, Ariana, as the messenger is… innocent? Katie does her best (re: least convincing) acting sucking up to Lala, pretending she can’t blame Scheana for being truthful with her friend, and is unconvincingly shocked to hear that drunken Tom 2 also called his rando “Bubba.”
I feel like Katie already knew Tom 2 cheated – if it even did happen at all…
Katie’s sojourn with Lala is followed by a lecture from Lisa Vanderpump about how Tom 2‘s personal issues makes her question his business acumen. As if ANYTHING about Tom 2’s life was professional or diligent or would give her any reason to believe he would be a savvy businessman?! We’re talking about someone who loafs around in shower shoes all day and has literally, NEVER, had an adult job. After out-aging semi-successful male modeling, Tom 2 transitioned to bloated day drinker and reality television accessory; lover of Tom 1. Also, if LISA wants to appear professional, why is she lecturing Tom’s wife instead of Tom?
I think Lisa’s concerns are valid – if this were the real world, because a drunken, unreliable business partner is a liability, and a business partnership IS like a marriage in that trust, faithfulness, and equality are imperatives, but this is no real partnership. It’s laughable that LVP excepts that someone who couldn’t even complete one bartending shift, and was so afraid of commitment he had to be tortured into proposing, could essentially be running a restaurant/bar unsupervised. We all know Tom 1 will do all the heavy lifting for these two in terms of managing Tom Tom, anyway.
Now that Katie can place all her outrage on Scheana, she comes home with a list of ultimatums for Tom 2: no shots, no getting super drunk, and no guys nights. Predictably he rebelled. Tom refuses to give up the things he loves for the woman he’s supposed to love, and yells at Katie for trying to control him. He will not sacrifice his loves for marriage! He agrees to limits, but since he literally cannot live without his bromances – guys nights are here to stay. Katie married a child, now she resents his childishness. Did she really think that a wedding would make Tom grow up?
When Tom and Katie bring their dogs to Vanderpump Dogs, Lisa lectures him on behaving better – or the partnership is off. He agrees, then loafs away to file that away in the “Empty Promises” category of his brain, which also occupies a slot for “Saying Anything To Make Katie Shut-Up”. Lisa really laid down that law! #NOT
Tom 2 consoles himself with wholesome fun with Tom 1 and Jax at one of those Wine & Design studios. He wanted to take them out to the dessert with some hallucinogenics, get drunk, and do naked self portraits ala Hunter S. Thompson’s wild sagas, but since Katie made rules, they’re stuck in a studio with a bottle of absinthe and Tom 2 only does one shot. In despair, knowing their freewheeling days are numbered, he paints a farewell portrait of his true love Tom 1. It’s good!
Tom 2 shows it to Katie later and she has a realization about her relationship: Tom 2 actually loves Tom 1 and those two should’ve just had a commitment ceremony and lived together in forever harmony. Except Tom 1 actually likes sex with the ladies – specifically Ariana, who, unfortunately, is not putting out. AT ALL.
Ariana and Lala go shopping while lamenting the serious assholery of Jax. Hilariously, ironically, Lala, of the many mistress rumors, goes on a tangent about how disguising cheaters are and why women must not put up with them. Wasn’t Lala dating a married guy last season (maybe he was separated?). Wasn’t she accused of breaking up his marriage? I guess we’ll never know…
Ariana explains that Lala always makes you feel good about yourself (unless she’s making you sign NDAs) and that’s why they’re friends. That’s also why she feels comfortable opening up about her lack of intimacy with Tom 1. (When talking about Tom 1 and sex, “intimate” is the only word which suffices.) Ariana was once in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship and the guy made her feel so insecure and inferior that she’s plagued with nonstop unease about her body and sex. In the beginning of her relationship with Tom the “newness” made her overlook all of these feelings, but now the negative thoughts are back. Instead of shopping with Lala, Ariana needs to get counseling! Real counseling, but in the interim she can take Lala’s wholesome advice: every day look in the mirror and thank your body for the sexual services it’s able to provide.
This is what Lala does and she really believes it’s valuable. She may have “man hands” but they give great hand jobs, and her “little kitty takes that D like a champ.” Which I guess is very handy (pun intended) if your job is gold digger! I know Lala thinks she’s being all ultra-feminist and body positive, but she’s actually just reducing herself (and other women) to body parts and how they can be of use to, in this case, men. Way to ride the patriarchy like a champ! Ariana seems relieved and comforted though, so that’s something.
Instead of demanding Tom 2 get counseling for his blackout renegade behaviors, then checking herself in as well, Katie invests her anguish into the pay-it-forward of spreading cheating rumors about Scheana. Katie gleefully informs Kristen and Brittany that Scheana is in essentially also ‘A Katie’ because Rob was seen making out with a hostess at Toca Madera while Scheana was at the Vanderpump Dogs opening. Naturally, since they are “good friends,” Brittany and Kristen decide it’s their duty to tell Scheana.
Meanwhile Scheana is trying to move herself into Rob’s luxe Beverly Hills home. Someone’s gotten some gold digging tips from Lala as she gushes about how rich and successful Rob is and how nice it is to have actual furniture that’s not from Value City. I didn’t notice any life-sized portraits of Scheana on the walls, so their relationship must not be THAT serious? However it’s serious enough for Scheana to be ‘hosting’ a dinner party at his home for Ariana and Tom 1. Tom 1 is also in love with Rob. Or the idea of Rob’s success. Plus he’s tall and has all his hair. So now Tom 1 is cheating on Tom 2! Add that to our dip. It’s the beans that make you fart, but are strangely good for texture.
Maybe Tom 1 is just sexually frustrated and Rob provides amazing desserts, so he’s confusing the two? Rob’s his house was very nice in an ultra-modern way and he did provide a gourmet dinner for free… Over dessert Scheana grabs Robs arm and gushes that she and Rob can’t get married until July since her divorce isn’t finalized. Rob almost chokes on his flan. Scheana insists she’s kidding, but whips out her divorce “count-down” app on her phone to illustrate just how desperate she is to be rid of Shay and free for all of Rob’s future proposal needs. That home needs a woman’s touch (re: a lot more photos of Scheana).
Unfortunately Scheana’s bubble is burst the next day when Kristen and Brittany reveal that Rob was spotted making out with another girl. Scheana adamantly dismisses this as ridiculous, her evidence being that Rob doesn’t even like kissing her, so he certainly wouldn’t kiss some random. Kristen is irritated by Scheana’s delusional denial, and by how fake she is as they make cake pops and gummy bear shots for Brittany’s party. Maybe Scheana selfied her anguish to display her real feelings?
Scheana spends the entire party on her phone, texting Rob emojis about how silly Kristen’s accusation is. Jax observes, astutely, that the only way Scheana would even notice if Rob cheated is if it were captured in the background of her snapchat. AND HE IS RIGHT! She even tries to sell Stassi on this story of how great her future is with Rob, but even Stassi smells the designer imposters perfume emanating from Scheana’s soul.
That party… what a sloppy mess. Tom 2 is mourning his binge drinking freedom as he sulks in the corner and eats snacks. The others get drunk enough that they’re getting along with James Kennedy and Lala.
James did come bearing gifts though – a giant ‘cake’ of toilet paper to celebrate what a shit Jax is. Jax is overjoyed and loves his thoughtful present. That’s where Jax’s generosity ends. Kristen’s boyfriend Carter, who loves to be in the middle of messy drama, finds himself trapped on a couch while Jax confesses that he would’ve f–ked a squirrel if it hit on him because he must sabotage relationships. Then Brittany storms over and starts complaining that Jax never opens up to her. As they yell at each other, Carter is paralyzed, clutching their dog for emotional survival and petting it just to feel something other than fear. Outside the door, Kristen and Lala overhear Jax clapping and mocking at Brittany.
That’s when Lala “realizes” she has to honor girl power right by sharing the audio clip in her possession which features Jax canoodling with Faith. Faith had sent the audio to James, who in good faith forwarded it to Lala – and just when everyone is starting to finally love James! James still has little compunction about betraying Faith and Jax, because that’s why we LOVE James!
First Lala confides in Ariana. Ariana pretends that it’s a bad idea, while simultaneously calling Brittany over, hugging her through phony tears, and warning her. The clip is inaudible to us, but whatever Brittany hears, she explodes and kicks Jax out. For real this time. I guess he’ll have to take his motorized scooter and ride on down to hell. At least he’ll have refreshing beverages!
Why would Faith record Jax? This is seeming more and more like entrapment, and it almost makes me feel bad for Jax! Yeah, he’s scum, but he’s not conniving and scheming in desperation to be on TV? What other motive would Faith have for courting an affair with him? And where is this Faith – up and disappeared after deploying a bomb!
TELL US – DO YOU THINK ROB CHEATED? WILL BRITTANY REALLY KICK JAX OUT?
