Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills OG Lisa Vanderpump Is Starting A Podcast

Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills OG Lisa Vanderpump Is Starting A Podcast

The future of Vanderpump Rules is seemingly up in the air after Stassi Schroeder, Kristen Doute, Brett Caprioni, and Max Boyens got fired for their racially offensive behaviors. Plus, filming has been put on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic. And, let’s be honest, the show isn’t nearly as good as it used to be when they all lived in shitty dilapidated apartments.

Even with the Vanderpump Rules hiatus, the show’s namesake Lisa Vanderpump is keeping busy at her pink-filled mansion, Villa Rosa. However, her restaurants have been closed (thanks to the pandemic), with Villa Blanca seemingly closing down for good. Sure, LVP has Vanderpump Dogs going during this time. Oh, and that Vanderpump Dogs spin-off show is officially happening. And now, Lisa is adding another show to the list, but not a reality show this time around.

LVP tweeted, “I have finally started preparing for my own Podcast! I am excited to connect with you guys on business, design, restaurants, cooking, activism, dogs, ponies, marriage, relationships, sex.. or lack thereof lol! Submit your questions if you have them to LVP@kastmedia.com”

Unfortunately, there’s no mention of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills or Vanderpump Rules in that tweet. But, just imagine if she recorded a podcast episode giving her scene-by-scene reactions watching those episodes. Or if she interviewed some of her (current and former) co-stars, that would be gold.

My ideal episode would be if Lisa invited Kyle Richards on to talk about their differences. Just imagine how many people would listen to that episode. Or what if she had Faith Stowers on to talk about everything she went through because of the some Vanderpump Rules cast members.

The Real Housewives Of New York Go To Mexico Tonight

Leah McSweeney Real Housewives Of New York

Leah McSweeney Real Housewives Of New York

Last week’s episode of Real Housewives of New York ended with a cliffhanger. Ramona Singer was yelling at production, threatening to leave the show because of how wild the cast got at her lame luncheon-style birthday party. (No, the party wasn’t actually at lunchtime, but it might as well have been.)

She took issue with Leah McSweeney for looking amazing when she walked into the party. Jealousy alert. She was miffed when some of the cast members didn’t comply with her party’s dress code. But, she really flipped out when the women started dancing and it was too raunchy for her high society friends.

During tonight’s Real Housewives of New York episode, we will see how that party ended up, but it could have been too bad since the cast also departs for Mexico tonight, right?

After the party, Luann de Lesseps hosts a spa day for the women she met last week through the Fortune Society, who are working to restart their lives for the better after jail time.

Ramona has a talk with Sonja about her behavior, as if Ramona is an angel herself. Meanwhile, she wants nothing to do with Leah, which was apparent last week when she avoided Leah instead of greeting her at her own party.

In Cancun, Sonja gets drunk early on, which isn’t surprising given everything we’ve seen so far this season. Leah also confronts Ramona in Mexico, which I am so pumped to see. Leah is not afraid of Ramona and I’m ready to see these women go toe to toe.

Lisa Rinna Is Mad Brandi Glanville Wasn’t Allowed To Film Reunion With Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Cast Members

Lisa Rinna Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Lisa Rinna Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

As per usual, the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast members have no interest in talking about their personal lives this season. So, instead, we are now focusing on claims from someone who isn’t even an official cast member, Brandi Glanville.

Brandi went to Kyle Richards‘ party this season. Then she “spontaneously” showed up to Kyle’s house to tell Kyle and Teddi Mellencamp that she had sex with Denise Richards, initially believing that Denise and Aaron Phypers had an open marriage. However, Brandi claimed that Denise told her to keep their alleged tryst a secret because Aaron would be upset. This storyline dominated the season before it even started airing, so it was a given that Brandi would make an appearance at the reunion, right? Well, apparently not.

Instead of filming at the same time as the actual cast members, Brandi was asked to do a one-one interview with Andy Cohen to share her side of the story. After the reunion was filmed, Lisa Rinna sounded off about the taping, claiming it was “bullshit,” citing Denise’s cease and desist letters as the reason why.

Additionally, she referred to Denise as a “narcissist” and a “phony.” Recently, Lisa sounded off on the reunion… again.

 

RELATED: Garcelle Beauvais Explains Why She Unfollowed Lisa Rinna On Instagram After Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Reunion; Says “We’re Not Going To Have Any Sleepovers Anytime Soon”

 

In an Instagram Story, she wrote, “I have to hear one more person say why they think I was mad at the reunion… here let me tell you myself. I was mad because at the 11th hour they decided to not have Brandi come tell her side of the story. Isn’t that what the reunion is for?” I’m not gonna lie. I wish that Brandi was a part of the taping too. I would love to see Brandi and Denise confront each other over these hookup rumors.

90 Day Fiance Stars Robert Springs And Anny Springs Welcome First Child Together

90 Day Fiance’s Robert And Anny Springs’ Baby Is Here!

If you’re a 90 Day Fiance viewer you may not be the biggest fan of Robert Springs and Anny Springs relationship. Now, if you’re a 90 Day Fiance: Pillow Talk viewer, you might have a different opinion. On their season of 90 Day Fiance these two struggled to get on the same page for just about everything. Apartments, used clothing, strip clubs, you name it. Their Pillow Talk dynamic seems much sweeter and almost a little endearing at times. Oh, and you can’t miss that Anny has her baby bump on display.

Robert and Anny had announced their pregnancy back in April. Since then, Pillow Talk viewers have watched Anny and baby grow while Robert serves her food in bed. Well…the stork is here y’all.

Entertainment Tonight has officially shared the story of Robert and Anny’s new baby girl. She came in just this Tuesday! As many of you probably know, this is Anny’s first baby, but it’s Robert’s sixth. Robert doesn’t deny his playboy past. Remember when this couple went boxing and it turned into a full-blown counseling session over Robert’s pictures of his four exes (all of whom he has children with)?? Pure cringe. But the kind I think most of us live for.

Anny told the outlet, “Welcome to the world my princess, I am filled with love and happiness to have you in my life.” So sweet. Baby girl came in weighing 7.3 pounds and measuring 21 inches long.

Though the couple hasn’t been married long, it’s not surprising they’ve started a family so quick. Let’s not forget that these two were engaged within 8 hours of meeting. They don’t waste time. And let’s be real, who wouldn’t want another sweet baby face when you share a home with innocent little Bryson? He’s one of 90 Day Fiance’s cutest spawn. I’m sure he’s ecstatic to be a big brother.

Kyle Richards Responds To Garcelle Beauvais’ Comments About Not Being Invited To Hang After Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Reunion; “Why Would She Want To Be Invited To My Home?”

Kyle Richards Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Kyle Richards Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills

Recently, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville spilled her guts to Kyle Richards and Teddi Mellencamp about what Denise Richards had been saying behind their backs. She also confided that she and Denise slept together.

The problem was that Brandi was  allegedly told that Denise, and her husband, Aaron Phypers had a special arrangement in their marriage. They don’t.  And Denise denied that the hook up happened. The other problem is Brandi said this on camera in front of Teddi, Kyle, and Kyle’s sister, Kim Richards.

And of course, all of this came out right before Lisa Rinna’s RHOBH trip to Rome. In Rome, Teddi and Kyle confronted Denise at a group dinner. Finally, Teddi mentioned the sexual encounter.

Denise started to break down and tried to shut down production by saying “Bravo, Bravo, Bravo.” It didn’t work. So now everyone is dealing with all of this messiness during the rest of this season.

Season 10 newbies Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke survived their first reunion! But it was a lottoofab is reporting that Garcelle and Sutton discussed the reunion during an interview with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live.

Garcelle stated that she was “exhausted” after the reunion. “I was drained, I was shocked. It was a lot, it took me two days to shake it,” the actress shared. Sutton was also overwhelmed by the reunion.

Garcelle mentioned that she and Sutton were excluded from the “impromptu get together after the reunion.” Dorit Kemsley, Lisa, Kyle, and Erika Jayne hung out after the reunion. Teddi  even stepped out of her father’s shadow to attend!

Sutton said they were, “#NotInvited.” Ouch!

Garcelle has made it clear that she didn’t gel at all with RHOBH “OG” Kyle. She also said that Kyle has a big ego. Now that is a shocker, I am sure, to all Beverly Hills Housewives viewers.

 

RELATED: Garcelle Beauvais Says Kyle Richards Was The Least Welcoming, Has The Biggest Ego, & Is The Last Person From Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills That She Would Want To Quarantine With

 

The bravowwhl Instagram page posted, “#RHOBH’s @Garcelle reacts to her co-stars known as the ‘Fox Force Five’ celebrating together after the reunion.” The page also added a video clip of Andy asking Garcelle, “Given how tired you were after the reunion, would you have gone if they invited you? I mean…or was their part of you that was relieved not to be invited?”

“Ummm…yeah, I wouldn’t have gone,” Garcelle replied.” I was exhausted, but also my ex had my kids for the day and I knew he was dropping them off.” She added, “But it would have been nice to be invited. I thought that was mean.” Ouch again.

 

RELATED: Kyle Richards Responds To Digs From Garcelle Beauvais; Wishes Garcelle Confronted Her Directly

 

Well, never fear– Kyle clapped back from the comments. She posted, “A) In 10 years there has never been a Reunion where everyone gets together after. People split off into groups depending on who is talking still. B) Although I had been nothing but nice to Garcelle she has made it clear she doesn’t like me…so why would she want to be invited to my home?” Kyle said. “C) Does she really think everyone could have gotten together after what went down at the Reunion?” Kyle concluded with a thinking emoji.

Tinsley Mortimer Is Back In New York, Following Quarantine Rules To Film Real Housewives Of New York Reunion

The news recently broke that the Real Housewives of New York cast will gather with Andy Cohen to film the Season 12 reunion in person in Long Island. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast just filmed their reunion, but it was via zoom, which makes sense since Andy is based in New York.

Elyse Slaine confirmed that she will not be a part of the taping, but fans have been wondering if Tinsley Mortimer will be there in person. She left the season halfway through to move to Chicago, so it was assumed she would show up virtually. However, it has been reported that Tinsley is already back in the Big Apple, following quarantine guidelines before the reunion.

Page Six shared that Tinsley “She flew in last week for it to comply with [Gov.] Cuomo’s quarantine rules, and has been working on styling her perfect outfit.”

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

I often wonder what type of person decides to sign up for not a dating a show, but one where you actually get married. Every year I discover there isn’t just one category of person that is willing to participate. Maybe that is why I find this show so interesting. This season of Married At First Sight  is filled with some of the most interesting couples and dynamics. One couple is probably one of the most unique pair I’ve seen on reality TV. Then there are two best friends, who both signed up and were picked to be a part of the cast together. Now that we have gotten to know the players, I’m just waiting for the shit show to begin. It never fails, everyone is happy one day and in the blink of an eye it changes.

This episode the final two couples will walk down the aisle. For the first time in Married at First Sight history, one couple already knows each other. Ten stranger spouses celebrate tying the knot and spend their first night together as husband and wife. Will they have instant regrets or will this be the happiest day of their lives. Let’s get straight into the recap!

Amelia & Bennett

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

When we last left Amelia and Bennett, she was walking down the aisle with a bird’s nest on top of her head. Bennett does not look happy to see his new bride, or maybe he is just shocked. Who can blame him? The bride’s guests look like they are attending a Halloween party rather than a wedding. Apparently, these two have actually met one another in the past at a mutual friend’s party. Although they liked one another, Bennett was in a relationship, so nothing came of it.  This is the weirdest wedding I have ever witnessed, but somehow it just works for them. I think this may be one of the few times the experts may have gotten things right. Or these were the only two really eccentric people who applied for the experiment and they thought “hell, why not.”

Chemistry is definitely in the air! Amelia and Bennett look like they have been dating for quite some time during the wedding photos. Amelia’s niece is already calling Bennett uncle, which was so cute. All signs are pointing to this being a good match. I have to admit, this is the most entertaining wedding that I have ever seen on this show. Thank God someone shook up the easy bake ceremony format that we are accustomed to seeing. Just when you think things couldn’t get even stranger, Bennett’s mother gives an incoherent speech. I don’t think anyone in the room knew what the hell she was talking about. Despite me laughing through her entire toast, I don’t think she was trying to be funny.

When Bennett talks to Amelia’s bridesmaids they steer him down an interesting line of questioning. They want to know everything from his favorite national park to his grooming habits. Ummm, okay! They even warn him that Amelia has armpit hair which Bennett loves. Meanwhile, Amelia’s conversation with her husband’s friends is more normal. Later in the reception, Amelia asks Bennett to participate in a family wedding tradition where she swings an egg tied to a rope on a stick. If he can catch the egg in his mouth, it symbolizes luck and a long lasting marriage. Or he could accidentally choke on this makeshift ball gag. His vegetarian diet clearly went out the door, when he not only catches but swallows the raw egg. Now that is a man who really wants this to work out! Even Amelia is surprised that he actually ate the egg. Gross!

Christina and Henry

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

One thing is for sure, Henry wasn’t exaggerating when he said he didn’t take risks and lacks confidence. He looked like he was on the verge of dying of stage fright because he is the center of attention. Meanwhile, Christina is surrounded by her supportive family. When she receives a bouquet of flowers from her groom, her heart melts. Her husband will be the first man who has ever given her flowers, outside of her grandfather. Damn, that is kind of sad. Did every guy refuse to buy her flowers or was she waiting for a guy to figure out she wanted this gesture? If it was the latter, she may want to be more direct in the future. As Christina waits to walk down the aisle, her nerves get the best of her. This woman wants to a wife so bad, she is practically running down the aisle. When Henry first sees his bride the only thing he can say under his breath is “she’s tall.” SMH, He can’t be this insecure! This girl is pretty, that’s best you can do? Henry avoids all eye contact and seems to be having a panic attack of some sort during the ceremony. Things only get worse when he reads his vows that sound like my nephew wrote them. Even his father is embarrassed at his lack of game as he hangs his head in the audience. Christina’s vows were heartfelt and she even shed a few tears at the end. Ugh, Henry’s awkwardness has no bounds.

When Henry and Christina have a few moments alone after the ceremony, he can barely make small talk. She clearly isn’t impressed. In a post interview, she says he isn’t her type and she doesn’t remember his name. As much as I want to find that comment bitchy, I can’t blame her. Henry is the equivalent of unseasoned chicken. He is boring and can’t seem to snap out of his shell to save his life. His wife had to ask him if he found her attractive for goodness sake. If I didn’t know this was a wedding, I would think they met at a work conference in passing from that conversation. Recognizing Henry is extremely shy; Christina takes the lead during the wedding photos. He takes this as a sign that his wife has to be attracted to him, but she still doesn’t even know his name. LMAO! During the reception, he continues to have issues communicating. Christina attempts to reveal more about herself and her last relationship, but doesn’t get much in return. Things liven up when Henry’s dad makes a speech that is not only embarrassing, but paints him as the ultimate mama’s boy. You would think someone with a dad this funny would be less uptight. One can only hope he will loosen up over time.

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

Things get very odd, when a gaggle of Henry’s drunken female friends surround him and his wife. To Christina’s credit, she doesn’t allow the situation to intimidate her at all. She is open and honest in their conversation and doesn’t appear fazed in the least.  In a post interview, one of girls admits that she has no intention of respecting their relationship. Sigh. With a guy this boring, are you really going to be the girl to fight over him? If that’s the case, you should have done us all a favor and snagged him before he signed up for this show. It doesn’t seem like he had many women beating down his door to compete with. I have a feeling that Christina isn’t going to deal with being mistreated, in any way. As I watched one of Henry’s drunk friends paw at Christina and continue to talk about how gorgeous Henry was, I knew I had seen this woman before. Well, Trishelle from MTV’s The Real Word totally embarrassed herself in an effort to get another 15 minutes of fame . The woman hasn’t been seen in almost ten years and she is still drunk.  Good luck explaining your behavior to your husband!

 

Karen & Miles

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

As much as I love Miles, he makes a grave mistake at the wedding. He basically tells Karen that he knew she was older and called her a “grown woman.” Yes, she is a few years older, but I highly doubt she wanted to hear that on a day where she is supposed to feel the most beautiful. I believe he meant she seemed sophisticated, but came off the wrong way. Miles makes up for his faux pas earlier, when he puts his wife’s mother at ease. When Karen speaks with his parents, they give her more insight on their son. While his mom says great things, his dad keep’s it real! This couple definitely has potential. As long as Karen relaxes and Miles proves himself to be genuine, I think things will slowly grow between them.

Olivia & Brett

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

Olivia speaks to Brett’s family to get more information on her new husband. They warn her that she will have to have a sense of humor to deal with him. Meanwhile, Brett’s sense of humor does not go over well with Olivia’s friends. He comes off extremely immature and only softens when he starts to speak about his cat. Insert side eye. I really don’t like this guy. I’m trying not to completely write him off, but he just seems so disingenuous. I don’t think he came on the show for the right reasons. But only time will tell if I am wrong.

 

Amani & Woody

Married At First Sight Recap: It’s Not the First Time

Most men would be intimidated having to face not only a protective dad, but a step father as well. Not Woody, he seems totally at ease as he talks to Amani’s family.  I love that he opens up and shares that he doesn’t have a relationship with his father and hopes they can be role models to him. Damn you Woody, that admission made me view you in a totally different light. Originally I wasn’t sure he would take this marriage seriously, but my thoughts are starting to change. Amani’s fathers welcome him to the family with open arms. I am beginning to really like Woody. The fact that he told her family he wants to view them as his family as well made my heart smile. Amani also meshes really well with Woody’s friends. Their conversation is easy and they give her several tips about her new husband. By the end of the night, she even secures an invite to his friend’s wedding. Okay, I officially like these two as a couple. Their wedding didn’t feel forced, it was if they already knew one another. I really hope there isn’t some twist or crazy secret that is revealed to ruin this marriage. Especially, now that I saw that six pack he was hiding under those clothes. For now, I think the experts made a great choice.
