It is surprising/not surprising that LeeAnne Locken is done with Real Housewives of Dallas. After making multiple remarks about Mexicans last season, it seemed like the writing was on the wall. Still, LeeAnne was Real Housewives of Dallas. Almost every (interesting) storyline started or ended with LeeAnne. Then again, it would be almost impossible for the show to move forward in the wake of the racially charged scandal.
At this moment, it hasn’t been confirmed if LeeAnne actually walked away from the reality TV series (which is doubtful) or if the network fired her. No shade, but it’s fair to assume it’s the latter since almost no one would give up the exposure and paycheck that come with the Real Housewives platform. Not only that, but Andy Cohen just seemed so tired of her during the Season 4 RHOD reunion episodes and he even made some remarks during his own latenight talk show, Watch What Happens Live.
LeeAnne broke the news during an exclusive interview with People. LeeAnne began, “The last four years have been a trolley-slapping good time but after much consideration, I have made the personal decision to step away from RHOD.”
The OG cast member continued, “Getting to share my wedding with the viewers last year brought me tremendous joy, however, the season was very personally challenging for me. I am looking forward to stepping away from the cameras and spending quality time with my husband and friends, traveling, but most importantly, getting back to philanthropy, which was my main reason for joining the show.”

I cannot wait for Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s weddding to be shown on Vanderpump Rules, not because I’m “so excited” about it. In all honesty, I just want this storyline to end. There have been way too many wedding-related episodes for my liking.
On tonight’s Vanderpump Rules episode, Jax confronts Tom Sandoval about the pastor drama and kicks Tom out of his wedding party. Meanwhile, Brittany wonders if she should keep Ariana Madix in the wedding as a bridesmaid. These people need to stop making such a big deal over their wedding and holding it over people’s heads.
Aside from being on the chopping block as a bridesmaid, Ariana fights her own demons. After previously opening up about her depression, she has some tough moments with Lala Kent and Stassi Schroeder.
Scheana Marie is not happy when her self-proclaimed “mini me” Charli Burnett goes out on a date with Brett Caprioni, a guy that Scheana kissed once. And just in case you forgot, Charli is the woman who claimed that she’s never had pasta. In her whole entire life.
Lala’s fiance Randall Emmett finally makes his Vanderpump Rules debut.
Unfortunately, Lisa Vanderpump receives some hard news, presumably given the timing this is about her mother’s passing, which happened shortly before Jax and Brittany got married.

Viewers love to complain about the “villains” on reality TV shows, but the truth is that we need those people. Without the pot stirrers bothering our favorite cast members, we would have nothing to root for, zero drama to be invested in.
Currently, the main Real Housewives of New Jersey villain is Danielle Staub. Even though she isn’t even a full-time cast member, she’s the show’s OG bad guy. Then, there were two ladies named Kim: Kim Granatell and Kim DePaola, better known as Kim G and Kim D. And, of course, (almost) all of the main cast members have a had at least one villain moment. Nevertheless, Kim D provided the viewers with a lot of iconic moments. She continued to come back until she truly wasn’t welcome, never actually securing a full-time spot on the show. Never, eber.
It was blatantly obvious to anyone with eyes that Kim D was thirsting for a full-time role as a Real Housewife of New Jersey. It was just never going to happen, just like Marlo Hampton’s quest to get a peach in Atlanta, Kim was never going to utter a tagline in the introduction for RHONJ. However, she was close to getting her own reality TV show. Well, allegedly. Truthfully, I find it tough to believe anything that Kim D says. Ever.
During a recent interview on the Out in the Wild podcast, Kim D claimed, “Andy Cohen has said to many people, including Siggy [Flicker] and Dolores [Catania], ‘Kim D is not a Housewife. Kim D should have her own show. She’s not a Housewife, OK?’ Came from the king. Andy Cohen’s the king.” Sure, Kim D. I would love to hear Andy’s take on these alleged remarks.
Kim continued to claim that Andy emphasized, “She’s not a Housewife,” as if that’s some sort of insult when it’s clear that Kim desperately wanted to be a Housewife.
Kim D added, “I was married twice. I was in a very significant, long relationship, thirteen years, [with] a man that passed away seven years ago. But, I was never a Housewife.” And you never will be, Kim.
TELL US- DO YOU BELIEVE KIM D’S CLAIM THAT ANDY COHEN BELIEVED KIM SHOULD HAVE HAD HER OWN REALITY TV SHOW? DO YOU MISS WATCHING KIM STIR UP TROUBLE ON REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY?

Doubters cringed when they found out that Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright planned to get married without a prenup. That’s a pretty risky endeavor given the overall faith in that relationship (pun intended). Vanderpump Rules fans also cringed when Tom Schwartz and Katie Maloney argued about a prenup before their 2016 wedding, which apparently wasn’t even legal. Even so, I could never forget their arguments over protecting their paltry assets. Hopefully, their bank accounts have beefed up since those embarrassing arguments. I mean, Schwartz does own .0000000000000001% of Tom Tom, or something like that. And Katie, well….. she’s a cast member on this show still and that brings in some checks.
However, it seems like Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark have zero issues when it comes to signing a prenup. In fact, Stassi thinks it’s romantic. Yes, really.
In an interview with Page Six, Stassi remarked, “I feel like people look at that as like a dirty thing that we shouldn’t talk about, but it’s honestly, I feel like there is some romanticism to it and being able to be so close to someone that you’re willing to have those uncomfortable conversations.”
You know what, I can understand her point. So many people are uncomfortable talking about finances, even with loved ones and significant others. Having that comfort with a soon-to-be-husband is a great thing, But, is there “some romanticism to it,” I don’t know about that exactly.
Stassi shared, “It’s brought me closer to Beau the more that we talk about it. And I kind of want to just like turn that around.” Alright, then.
TELL US- WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT STASSI SCHROEDER’S VIEW ON NEGOTIATING A PRENUP WITH HER FIANCE BEAU CLARK? IS THERE SOMETHING ABOUT THIS THAT YOU FIND “ROMANTIC”?

Jazz Jennings is looking for a little help from her family. But it's not your typical request. In the exclusive sneak peek of I Am Jazz, above, Jazz asks her brother, grandpa and dad...
Last night’s Below Deck Sailing Yacht was all about coming for the weakest links. Poor little Parker McCown is just trying to be his bubbly self, but he really needs his mommy to hold his hand and tell him he’s OK. Since Mommy McCown’s not available Madison Stalker is filling in to hold Parker’s ego in a gentle embrace.
Yes, we’ve got another one of these Tanner Sterback-type baby boys this season, minus the lechery luckily. Also, instead of getting blackout wasted, Parker just sits in the corner and sulks.
Toga parties are supposed to turn any event into Animal House, but the most exciting thing that happens at this one is that Paget Berry, the first escapee of the Plath Family Cult, argues with Ciara Duggan about cleaning deck furniture. Wooooooow. Riveting. These two are so dull even their arguing isn’t exciting.
For all the barking and sniping Paget does at his girlfriend he is all sunshine and roses flirting with Georgia Grobler in their secret space: the laundry room. Georgia may have “guns of steel” as she jokes to Paget, but she certainly doesn’t have nerves of them. She is completely unable to organize even basic laundry, and expects Jenna MacGillivray to go through a super detailed training course and create a flow chart illustrating how to sort various clothes and what needs to happen with each. Of course, Georgia, echoing Simone Mashile from regular Below Deck, just wants to be trained on service.
Girls – here is the thing: if you can’t handle managing inanimate objects in an orderly and cohesive fashion, you will not be capable of getting 5-star dinners out without dumping the soup down your shirt. A stain Georgia certainly won’t be able to remove! Georgia expects to be coddled by Jenna, then left alone to her own devices with the guests?
Unfortunately, Jenna doesn’t feel it’s her duty to even go into the laundry room, except when trying to locate Adam Glick‘s missing chef coat. When Jenna sees the state of disarray and, then finds a women’s uniform on Byron Hissey‘s bed, she snaps that Georgia needs to get her shit together in here. In response, Georgia cries. Jenna is not impressed and complains to Adam that the girls need to toughen up and also stop expecting her to mommy them. I am inclined to agree. It’s fucking laundry! NOT rocket science. The clothes are labeled – it’s pretty self-explanatory. Not being able to handle ironing, though… Well, that I completely understand.
Georgia sniffles to Madison that Jenna is mean. They lay in bed cuddling together, crying, and complaining about how Jenna is such a terrible boss who didn’t even know which was the dryer and which was the washer. Madison is used to chief stews who hold her hand and pitch in, but Jenna just barks orders and expects her to fetch on demand.
At this point, it’s hard for me to tell whose more in the wrong: Jenna’s leadership style is certainly Velda Plendor from Troop Beverly Hills, but isn’t the role of the stews to clean and tidy up leaving the chief stew to do most of the guest wrangling? Jenna is definitely doing her share in the galley, I’ll say that much! And we all know that keeping the chef happy is a verrrry, verrrry important (and difficult) job!
Later when Jenna tries to apologize to Georgia and gives her a hug, Georgia brushes her aside because she’s embarrassed that her emotions got the best of her. This leaves Jenna even more irritated and she, again, complains to Adam.
Before the fussy eater guests leave, Captain Glenn Shephard decides to release the sails to really give them a taste of living on the high seas. Unfortunately, the guests are more concerned with getting their last breakfast, so despite his pleas to postpone, Adam and the interior crew are forced to serve a meal while the boat is pitching back and forth, back and forth, as it approaches the dock. Food was literally flying everywhere!
When a smoothie careens off the table, splattering green goo all over the floor Jenna calls Parker to grab his trusty shammy and clean it up. Instead, Parker suggests Jenna order a vacuum that sucks up glass? Does Amazon Prime come to the middle of the ocean?
It doesn’t matter – Jenna finds Parker’s smarting off to her in front of guests to be an affront to her leadership and immediately reports him to Paget and Captain Glenn. Paget’s hair raises several inches, resembling a marigold growing chia pet (although the hair was still flaccid and straight) and his face turns the color of Ciara’s hair.
Paget immediately calls Parker to task. As if that wasn’t bad enough there is major drama while docking and the $15m boat almost crashes into the dock as Paget is trying to manage Ciara’s inability to tie lines, with Parker’s inability to take direction about when to throw them. The entire time Captain Glenn is on the radio demanding visibility updates. The guests watch on as if this circus was brought solely for their entertainment.
Finally, this charter is over. And the tip wasn’t even that great.
After the guests leave Paget pulls Parker aside for a little chat about how to behave on boats. Apparently, even when you’re cleaning, a guest should never see your shammy. A third deckhand should be rarely be seen, and certainly never heard. Meaning a guest should never overhear you speaking loudly or rudely – especially to a superior. And even if the guests engage him in conversation, Parker should keep it to 3 minutes or less before running off to scrub the floors. Basically, he is Parkerella.
Despite their huge blow-up the night before, that morning, and during docking, Paget and Ciara take a moment to canoodle and reconnect. Paget compares her to his mom and says that’s what he likes about Ciara, except he doesn’t actually want to date his mom … Just apparently his practical sister? These two have the least sexy chemistry ever.
That night when the crew hits the town, Parker, Georgia and Madison sit at the end of the table sulking and glowering. The only time Georgia comes alive is when she’s flirting with Paget, literally right in front of Ciara, who is upset that Paget isn’t paying more attention to her. Meanwhile, Parker is so upset he opts to sleep on the sofa in the crew mess, snuggled up with Madison, then go back to the room he shares with Adam and risk waking him up again as he climbs off the top bunk for 4am wake-up call. Why don’t Parker and Adam just switch bunks?
Meanwhile, Adam and Jenna are flirting constantly. The other stewardesses notice that the only thing Jenna focuses on is the galley, leaving them to do literally everything else on their lonesome. Right now Madison and Georgia are BFF, but I have a feeling the fight for Parker’s attention will start to come in between them very soon. Eventually, Georgia will grow tired of Paget’s chaste awkward flirting and Ciara’s dagger eyes, and the only other available man is Parker. Even if he is starting to develop a case of the Paul Ryan crazy eyes.
The good news about the new charter is that they’re a family with no dietary restrictions and literally no demands. The bad news is that they are bringing a ONE MONTH OLD BABY with them on board. ONE. MONTH. As in still practically in the womb. Also, they want a campfire on the beach their first night.
Of course, once the guests do board there is a surprise change to the preference sheet because the new mother suddenly can’t eat dairy, soy, or nuts. Luckily in between the wails of a baby crying and the boat pitching, no one can hear Adam grumbling while rethinking his lunch menu. Poor Adam — life is sooooo hard when you have to work with other people’s demands!
Every time I think I like Adam, I am reminded why I don’t. Like when Adam cites Jenna being infertile as a major bonus – a point that also becomes a flirtation to them. Is that … I don’t know? Gross somehow? After her appendix burst when she was 17, Jenna was left unable to have children, which she gleefully announces to Adam. Adam doesn’t want kids because he spent like 3 months dating a single mom and was so grossed out by having her kids around all the time, they broke up. So basically he belongs on Teen Mom! Aaaahhh.. the sweet poetic romance of a yachtmance. /sarcasm
Following his teenage meltdown the previous night Parker vows to start the new day and new charter with renewed positivity. Unfortunately, he accidentally has a FIVE minute conversation with a guest all while holding a shammy. Paget’s eyes bulge like blueberries on LSD as he watches this unfold. Considering that the guests engaged Parker, and were just making small talk I thought he was being polite.
Maybe Paget doesn’t understand an American’s penchant for over-friendliness, because he adds frowny faces next to Parker’s name on the naughty chart, then lectures him for fraternizing with the guests and not following his rules for behavior on board.
That night after dinner the guests will be heading to Corfu for their picnic. While the primary is enjoying a glass of wine, near where Parker is washing windows, Jenna asks him when the deck crew is leaving to prepare the potential campfire locations. Parker snaps that he’ll go when his superior tells him to, prompting even the primary to give him an eyeball. Paget, hovering nearby, is once again horrified. It seems that Parker, like Georgia, can’t do anything right.
Also, is Jenna’s only job running around tattling and complaining? I mean …
For some odd reason, Paget takes Ciara with him to prepare a fire pit. Maybe it was his idea of spending quality time or going on a date, but they bicker and argue the entire time about how to dig a hole and who is going to wind up buried in it.
Back on board, Adam has made some sort of Kobe beef feast, but just as he’s announcing it to the guests the baby starts wailing and he’s interrupted. The mother is forced to enjoy her meal cold after soothing the baby. The dad sat there and ate a hot dinner… [side eye]
In the interior department, Jenna learns that Georgia has been cleaning one cabin for like 2 hours and the master hasn’t even been started. She asks Madison to help with that, then 10 minutes later informs Madison – with no forewarning – that she’ll be the one going along on the beach picnic. This means Georgia is once again on her own for ironing the sheets! Madison is annoyed at being treated like a ping pong ball; batted here and there with no respect to what she may want to do. When Jenna tells Georgia she’ll have to handle the master on her own, Georgia groans in response. Once again Jenna runs to Adam to gripe.
I have a feeling this is all going to explode very soon. Parker and Georgia resent their superiors. Georgia straight up resents having to actually DO her job. And Jenna is ineffective at noticing that her leadership isn’t effective. Also, there is Adam egging Jenna along about how shitty her team is. Of course, Madison is overly-eager and sweet as pie to Jeanna’s face, then secretly annoyed, but at least she does her work without outright complaining…
TELL US – ARE JENNA AND PAGET TOO HARD ON GEORGIA AND PARKER, OR DO THEY NEED TO SUCK IT UP AND DO THEIR JOBS?

Hey look, Jax Taylor had a meltdown! In other news, water is wet… Yes, the crew on Vanderpump Rules are once again navigating a bump in the road of friendship. There’s always that one person in your life that makes careless mistakes and then proceeds to blame someone else for their stupidity poor decisions. You could almost say that is the premise of Pump Rules in a nutshell.
Jax is going through it with best friend, Tom Sandoval. These two can’t agree on anything. Exhibit A: the pastor Jax and Brittany Cartwright originally chose for their beer cheese wedding. When the officiant decided to publicly share his thoughts on the LGBTQ community, pretty much everyone was offended. Jax seemed to be the most butthurt when Tom chimed in on the dilemma and took his ire straight to social media. Naturally. Now Tom is responding to Jax’s outburst and has some words for his buddy.
Jax managed to attack Tom’s character, work ethic, and trample on his feelings during his latest rant. Is this the “changed” man we have been hearing about for two seasons? Tom has had a second to digest Jax’s less than stellar review of his personality. And, he would like a moment.
Tom sat down with Us Weekly and had this to say, “It seems like he’s [Jax] angry and projecting.” Gee, you think Dr. Freud? Tom added, “Jax will say that I’m doing everything for the wrong reasons. Again authenticity is important to me and anything I ever do and say on the show is to be truthful, open and honest about my life and how I am feeling.” Truthful, open, and honest are not the words that come to mind when thinking about this show.
Tom continued, “I don’t see a changed person when he [Jax] acts like this. What’s most upsetting is when Jax says things that he knows are not true just to try to hurt me.” With all due respect, does anyone think Jax has really changed? I mean, aside from Brittany of course.
This time, it isn’t all about the pasta, it’s all about the pastor. On a good day, criticizing someone’s wedding is a touchy subject – enter Lisa Vanderpump! Lisa made a personal plight to both Brittany and Jax to find a suitable replacement to conduct their ceremony. Though other cast members discussed it as well, Jax seems to feel first blood was drawn by Sandoval. “Yes, it was bothering me before and it was all over the internet – but I didn’t want to be the one to mention it. As Lisa had brought it up first then I felt it important to ask the question,” Tom said.
Tom also shared, “I’ve experienced friends who are gay being influenced by these religious opinions and it has seriously affected their lives. Authenticity has always been important to me ever since I’ve been on the show and if I didn’t say something then I would have been being inauthentic.” Unless the person in question is your co-worker who wrote racist tweets when he was 19, but it’s fine because it was a “youthful mistake”.
Jax was fairly vicious during his tantrum, and it hurt Tom’s feelings. “For cast members to say that I don’t want other people to be happy is extremely hurtful and totally contrarian to my nature.”
Tom insists, “I was excited for Jax and Brittany to get married and I’m sure they both knew that.” I don’t doubt Tom was happy for Brittany and Jax. As happy as you can be for a reformed serial cheater and his blind naive bride.
Though Jax stated having Tom in his wedding was a mistake that he regrets, Tom seems to be letting it go. “He’s kind of impulsive, he’s mercuria, he’s Jax Taylor,” he said. “And then he sort of recalibrate and he calms down and I think he’s settled down now.” Soooo, kind of like a toddler, amirite?
Hopefully, Jax and Tom can get their friendship back on track and make the necessary repairs to move on. Hey, at least nobody’s girlfriend was shagged on a couch this time. As far as we know.

Teresa Giudice did not see this coming. E! News has an exclusive sneak peek at Wednesday's shocking season finale of The Real Housewives of New Jersey that will leave fans speechless....
The Bachelor franchise is diversifying, looking for “active and outgoing single men and women in their golden years” for a new show. Yet the main shows still remain young, white, and straight.
I’m just going to say it. Scheana Shay (also known as Scheana Marie) has terrible taste in men. Few Vanderpump Rules viewers can argue that point. Last season, she was “just friends” with Adam Spott, and spent the finale asking Adam to confess that he loved her. Oh, and she gave him a penguin that she adopted for him. Project Penguin failed.
Scheana spent Season 6 of Pump Rules bragging about all of Rob Valletta’s amazing qualities. They split after filming for the show wrapped. Recently, Scheana bought new Vanderpump Rules co-star Max Boyens an Apple watch to celebrate Thanksgiving. Of course she did. Max has some major issues of his own to address.
But there is one ex that Scheana is still in contact with—her ex-husband Mike Shay. Mike, who struggled with substance abuse issues, allegedly drained their joint bank account and disappeared. In November of 2016, Scheana filed for divorce after only two years of marriage.
Now Scheana is in a relationship with Australian rugby player and personal trainer, Brock Davies. In a video clip from Bravo’s The Daily Dish, Scheana stated her philosophy about dating. “I think everyone is different. I say jump in and then you know. What if it doesn’t work out…you’ve not wasted as much time.”
The couple told Bravo’s The Daily Dish, “We both love what a good person one another is. We make each other feel very loved.” The duo, who began dating last year, is also “collabing on a fun new project.”
Scheana feels like this relationship with Brock is special. “My new relationship honestly feels like the first real one I’ve ever been in. I don’t think I actually was ever truly, fully happy until now,” Scheana shared. “I think I told myself I was happy. I acted like the whole world was sunshine and rainbows, when in reality, it’s not. But, I think you have to kiss a lot of frogs to find your prince and I found a king.” Hear that, all you Vanderpump frogs?
So, how did Brock capture Scheana’s heart? Scheana remarked, “The thing I love the most about Brock is how he treats me. He always makes me feel loved and respected, and that’s not something I’ve ever had in a relationship before. So, he just makes me happy every day and if I’m sad, he knows how to cheer me up.”
Scheana knows that Brock appreciates her big heart. “Yeah, I have a big heart, but it gets me in trouble. Sometimes, things are hard for me with opening up and being vulnerable, but I’m definitely getting better at that and he brings out the best in me,” the Surver revealed.
The couple shared their best relationship advice with Bravo’s The Daily Dish by email. “Pick and choose your battles. Some things are not worth fighting over.” Hey–that sounds very mature. Could Brock really be the one for Scheana?
