Kyle Richards Doesn’t Want Beverly Hills Housewives On “American Woman,” But She Would Hire Harry Hamlin
During the last couple seasons of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle Richards has been discussing her work on her scripted series American Woman. The show is loosely based on her childhood, which did not sit well with some of her family members at first.
The show is finally here and after seasons of discussing it on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Kyle showed the Housewives the premiere during the Season 8 finale. So would Kyle have any of the Housewives on her scripted show? There’s no chance. She’s not even going to appear in front of the camera. Nevertheless, one of the Real Husbands might be asked to appear on a future season.
During an interview with E! News, Kyle revealed why Lisa Rinna’s husband Harry Hamlin is the only person associated with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills that she would invite to appear on American Woman.
She explained, “Better Harry to be on the show because I don’t want a Housewives distraction.” Fair enough. It makes sense to use the Housewives platform to promote the show, but if she does want it to have some legitimate success, she can’t just lean on the reality TV franchise.
Kyle added, “It actually came up about me doing a cameo, like, walking in the background. I said, ‘No, I don’t want to do that.’ I don’t want to take out of the moment and distract people. But Harry would be a good one to be on American Woman.” And maybe they could film some behind-the-scenes footage for Real Housewives of Beverly Hills?

Southern Charm Recap: A Family Affair
After two drama filled episodes of Southern Charm, it was time for a calm catch-up wasn’t it? Last night’s episode was just that, with a little dose of puppeteering from a guy who loves to pit women against one another. And no, I’m not talking about the brew master!
Austen Kroll’s girlfriend has hung up on him after spying Naomie Olindo’s Instagram story that shows him sitting a tad too close for comfort with Chelsea Meissner. Ashley Jacobs wants to hit the hot tub with Whitney Sudler-Smith who jokes she should soak with her new friends. As she cackles, Kathryn Dennis and Naomie sneak out of the kitchen before Ashley gets any ideas. Austen pulls Chelsea aside to share Victoria’s rage. Chelsea hates that Austen is being forced to choose between dating Victoria and maintaining a friendship with Chelsea, but that seems to be what is happening. He doesn’t understand. If Chelsea was hurt by his relationship and wanted him back, it would be one thing, but that’s not the case. Is it? IS IT? Austen certainly wishes it was.
The following morning, the crew is packing up to leave. Danni Baird is trying to rouse Kathryn from her chocolate coma. Girlfriend was doing some serious nighttime snacking! Whitney wakes the sleeping beauties Austen and Craig Conover. Craig drags his half-naked self into the den, mumbling that he dreamed he still had a girlfriend. He groggily asks Naomie if they are back together, and the group laughs when she says NOPE. Shep Rose heads off to see his family as Whitney wrangles his car poolers. Chelsea wants to take her friends on a tour down memory lane as they head out of town and back to Charleston. Ashley and Thomas Ravenel are the last to rally, and they are shocked to learn everyone has already left…even Austen! And with T-Rav’s after-shave! How will they ever find him to get it back? Ashley’s anxiety level is at an all time high. What if her man has to revert to something common like Old Spice?
Shep’s mother is adorable as she tries to feed her son some healthy snacks. He’s disappointed by the state of the pantry, but his parents have been gone for the last five months. He wants to get a French bulldog, but his mother reminds him he has absolutely no business getting a dog. He is aware of this fact as well. Shep has enlisted Kathryn to drive him to and from his knee surgery, and he reveals to his mom that he sees a lot of good in her. He enjoys seeing the best in people. He’s optimistic like that. His mom questions what happened to his nose, and he teases that no one beat him up…except for that case of beer and glass door. Shep tells him mother that just like his life isn’t conducive for a dog, it’s probably not ready for a serious relationship. Shep is unconventional, but his mother already knew that.
Across town, Chelsea takes her friends to her childhood home where she lived with her mom and stepfather. She calls him her stepdad because they were so close, but he never actually married her mother. As they walk up towards the house, Chelsea becomes overwhelmed with emotion. She starts crying and hightails it back to the car, leaving the girls wondering what they just witnessed. Back in the car, Chelsea tells her friends that her stepfather passed away when she was eight. However, because he and mother never married, her mom lost everything and was forced to move her kids into a tiny duplex where Chelsea and her brother shared a twin bed. Chelsea believes that watching her mother struggle with three jobs after the man she relied on was gone is what makes her so hesitant in relationships. She needs to be able to take care of herself instead of allowing someone to help.
Back in Charleston the charmers are settling back into their routines. Is Craig making a mood board? Amazing. Kathryn is taking Shep to his knee surgery, and she invites Shep to Saint’s birthday party. She admits that she texted T-Rav asking that Ashley not be around the children right now and Thomas agreed. I could watch an entire hour of Shep in his purple socks, paper dress and hair cap spouting love to the nurses thanks to some wonderful pain meds. That evening, Austen gets take out from Five Loaves (delicious!!) to share with Victoria as they discuss that fateful Instagram story. He’s never dealt with such a level of jealousy in a relationship. She asks about Hilton Head, and Austen shares that he informed Chelsea that he and Victoria had gotten back together. He is honest about not wanting to sacrifice his friendship with Chelsea, and Victoria can deal with that…as long as he can admit that Chelsea’s body language on the infamous boat ride was disrespectful to his current girlfriend. Austen insists that Chelsea wasn’t being romantic, and Victoria is incensed he is once again defending Chelsea. Austen promises that his friendship with Chelsea has never crossed any boundaries, but Victoria doesn’t feel the same. They agree to disagree for the sake of ending the argument.
On the mend, Shep calls Cameran Eubanks who has just welcomed baby Palmer after twelve hours of labor. She jokes that while Shep is icing his knee, she’s icing her vagina. Meanwhile, Craig is meeting with his life coach. The mood board was a homework assignment, and it shows Craig’s absolute lack of direction. He admits that he’s having an issue designing the pillow for Patricia Altschul’s home decor line because he can’t bring himself to focus on one idea. His life coach then calls him out on his B.S. He is self-sabotaging adulthood by not fully committing to it. It’s Peter Pan syndrome. Craig doesn’t deny her claims, but he does add to them, citing himself as a master manipulator and amazing liar. He can profile people in order to sway them in whatever direction he chooses. I don’t doubt it. His life coach is shocked. She is going to capitalize on his vulnerability whether he likes it or not.
The morning of Saint’s birthday party, Kathryn gets both children ready while contemplating how much has happened over the past year. She’s thrilled to be hosting her son’s party instead of being a guest like she was the previous year. Kathryn gushes over her children, wondering how she and Thomas could create such normal human beings. At T-Rav’s house, Ashley is sullenly questioning Thomas about the party. She’s just going to relax because she doesn’t feel well. The emotional stress from the weekend getaway has taken its toll on her physical health. He wonders if going after Kathryn was worth it for her. Ashley coos that she was just protecting Thomas, but he finds her tactics counter-productive. Ashley wanted to go to this party to prove she’s not a loose cannon. Too late for that, sweetie! Instead, she has Kathryn texting Thomas that Ashley is hateful and mean and shouldn’t be around the children. T-Rav shows no sympathy. Kathryn and the kids will always be a part of his life, and whoever he is with needs to respect that. Ashley lets it slip that the real reason she wants to go to the party is that she doesn’t trust Kathryn. Thomas warns her that she needs to get a thicker skin, and Ashley starts to turn. She spits that Kathryn is pure evil. Thomas starts playing games with her. He wants her to chill and he tells her she has certain expectations that he may not fulfill. T-Rav needs Ashley to chillax.
Kathryn and Thomas arrive with their children for the party. She feels it is important for the kids to see them having fun together. It’s actually pretty hilarious to all the charmers mingling and crafting at a two-year-old’s birthday party. Danni wonders where Craig is because finger painting is right up his alley. Naomie checks the trusty Craig-tracker on her phone. He’s at home. Craig has enlisted his roommate to help him wrap Saint’s present. This is true adulting. The group teases Craig upon arrival, and he immediately asks if the psycho is in attendance. Saint opens his presents, and the charmers are thrilled to see Kathryn and Thomas getting along so well. T-Rav reveals that he is very proud of how Kathryn has stepped into motherhood.
The producers are trying to tease a Shep and Kathryn romance. She stops by to check on him with a care package and homemade soup. Shep loves hanging out with Kathryn. They have so much fun together. Kathryn loves their friendship, and there is a tiny part of her that wonders if they could ever make it work. Nah. Downtown, Ashley brings over lunch for Thomas how is refreshing his cocktail and making one for her. The joys of day drinking with subs. She asks about the party, and Thomas is quick to compliment Kathryn’s party planning skills. Ashley wants to know if anyone missed her while making a snide remark about Kathryn. Ashley goes off about how Thomas was never in love with Kathryn and that their kids weren’t planned. T-Rav interrupts to lecture her. If Ashley disrespects the mother of his children, she is essentially disrespecting him and his kids. She doesn’t have to be mean or nasty about Kathryn. Ashley just needs to back off and take it down a notch. Ashley then starts in on Thomas for staying out late with his friends. She threatens to not come back when she goes home to Santa Barbara to visit. Ashley doesn’t get the response she’d hoped.

Tinsley Mortimer Says Tom D’Agostino Is “A Total Loser”; Calls Bethenny “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong”
When Tinsley Mortimer joined Real Housewives of New York last season she talked about her Palm Beach mugshot whenever she could. This season Luann de Lesseps got a Palm Beach mug shot of her own and upped the ante- majorly.
Now Tinsley is slamming Luann’s arrest behavior- while also defending Lu against her ex-husband Tom D’Agostino.
In a Bravo blog post about the last RHONY episode, Tinsley wrote, “Poor Luann. Girl I feel your pain, but you shouldn’t have said what you did to the police officers. Palm Beach is a very small place, but the police take their jobs as seriously there as those in New York City. Believe me. I know. I’m still wondering how you slipped those cuffs!!! Impressive!” It really was impressive. Luann also looked great with blonde hair in that security footage- if I’m being honest.
Tinsley confirmed her Palm Beach run-in with Luann’s ex Tom and she actually defended her costar. Tinsley wrote, “Luann, please don’t give Tom another thought.” Tinsley ended up quoting Luann herself when she doled out some advice: “What a total loser! I couldn’t help myself. I told him he was bald and a scumbag and that you were 1000 times better than he. Good riddance. He’s just so…uncool.” The most uncool.
And then Tinsley took up for her new BFF Carole. She refused to acknowledge Bethenny Frankel by name, but she did admit, “The situation between Carole and Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong is disturbing. Like you, I eagerly watched what I hoped would be a full-fledged make-up at their lunch. Though there were hugs at the end, my take is that things weren’t altogether resolved. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.” Clearly nothing was resolved. They are bound to battle it out during the Season 10 reunion and it is going to be nothing short of explosive.
TELL US-WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON: CAROLE’S OR BETHENNY’S? WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE FOOTAGE OF LUANN’S ARREST?

Replacement Rumors For The Five People Fired From Summer House
Every season, Summer House runs into filming difficulties. It is very much expected for them to be less than welcomed by the Hamptons residents.
Something unexpected that happened is five cast members getting cut. Danielle Olivera and Amit Neuman had no shot at coming back for Season 3. They were just too nice and normal to make a mark on this show. They had no story line and no one is at all surprised that they got fired. However, it is pretty shocking that Stephen McGee, Lauren Wirkus, and Ashley Wirkus will not be on the show anymore. Now there are rumors about two possible replacements for next season.
A source told Page Six, that Jordan Verroi and Hannah Berner, who work for the website Betches, are in talks to join Summer House. Hannah is the creative video producer for Betches and Jordan works in client relations.
The show is set to start filming on June 22, so we will know soon enough who will be joining Kyle Cooke, Amanda Batula, Carl Radke, and Lindsay Hubbard in the Hamptons.

Gizelle Bryant Thinks It Was A “Little Hurtful” For Charrisse Jackson-Jordan To Miss Robyn Dixon’s Event
When Real Housewives of Potomac Season 3 started, Gizelle Bryant’s man Sherman Douglas was all about her relationship. They stomped grapes together. He had a sweet relationship with her three daughters. And then poof he disappeared.
He was supposed to show up for a double date with Gizelle, Robyn Dixon, and Juan Dixon, but Gizelle ended up going alone with news that they broke up. It’s sad that they parted ways, but at least it didn’t happen on camera.
Gizelle reflected on the last RHOP episode in a Bravo blog post. Gizelle celebrated her birthday with a very low key event. Unfortunately for her, Ashley Darby (and presumably the other cast members) just wanted to know where her man was.
Apparently it didn’t bother Gizelle that much though. Gizelle wrote, “Of course Ashley was asking about Sherman, it’s a natural question. Obviously, even though the party was for the girls I still wanted him to be there. He and I did do something privately for my birthday but him being there would have been a great plus.”
The other big drama of the episode was that Monique Samuels and Robyn chose to throw events on the same day. This means that their costars had to pick one event over the other. Even though everyone had to make this choice, it didn’t sit well with Robyn (and Gizelle) when Charrisse Jackson-Jordan chose Monique’s event over Robyn’s.
Gizelle remarked, “Charrisse definitely chose Monique over Robyn. It was a shock to me because I know how loyal Charrisse has been to Robyn in the past. It was a little hurtful to think that she wouldn’t be there especially since Robyn has worked SO hard.”
And then Gizelle circled back to Sherman. She concluded, “All break ups are tough. I believe that every experience is a learning lesson. I have learned that communication is KEY and without it there is not a relationship that can survive.”

Jax Taylor & Brittany Cartwright Engaged! See The Engagement Ring!
Without rehashing the specifics for the 9262626227865th, the last Vanderpump Rules season was a very difficult one for Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s relationship. Now Season 7 is off to a way better start for the couple: Jax and Brittany just announced their engagement. It was all filmed for the show, of course.
Both Jax and Brittany shared the engagement news on Instagram– including close-up photos of the (giant) diamond ring.
Along with the photos, Jax wrote, “She said yes!!! I can’t wait for y’all to see how this happened next season!!! I am marrying the woman of my dreams and I could not be happier!! make sure y’all tune in season 7 to see how this unfolded.” Unfortunately we will have to wait a long time to watch this one since Season 7 just started filming.
Jax shared, “my amazing friend/brother @kylechandesign knocked it out of the park on this ring. I told him a few details but I trusted him and as you can see he came through above and beyond. When I decided to do this he was the only one I wanted to design Brittany’s ring and this is why.. flawless Kyle absolutely flawless. Also thank you Margaret owner of @Neptunesnet for allowing me to make this special day possible at one of our favorite spots to eat in Malibu.”
Brittany also posted about the engagement. She shared the same photos and wrote, “Omg omg!!!!!!!! We are ENGAGED! What a way to start our summer and season 7!! I am so happy, so in love, and so beyond excited for this next chapter of our lives! I can’t wait for all of you to see how he proposed! I am the happiest girl ever right now. love can win #PumpRules thank you @kylechandesign this ring is gorgeous!!!”
I love how they both made sure to shout out the show and promote Season 7 with their engagement announcements. No shade- I actually do love it.
