We're not in the Marvel Cinematic Universe anymore! Zendaya is already eyeing her next onscreen collaboration with boyfriend Tom Holland, but suffice to say, the role would be a lot...
More than two years have passed since Euphoria's season-one finale. Fans have been treated to two specials in the interim, but it's helpful to look back at everything that's happened...Porsha’s Family Matters certainly isn’t dry on drama. The only problem is, it all centers on Porsha Williams’ obvious need to portray a specific kind of image to the public. Thus far, story lines have centered on whether or not Porsha’s ex- and baby’s father, Dennis McKinley can have his own room or bring his own love interests to the get away. For some reason, Porsha is treating this “healing” trip as a vacation with her new fiancé Simon Guobadia. A man she swiped from her former cast-mate, Falynn Guobadia before anyone could say “seek help”. Despite all that, Porsha wants to deny Dennis any romantic company.
There is an obvious need for Porsha to do some real work regarding her co-parenting relationship. She has instead chosen to stand in opposition to Dennis’ mother for the better part of her new series. If you watched the most recent episode, I hope you caught the cliff hanger at the end. The latest episode of Porsha’s Family Matters ended with Porsha throwing a punch in Mama Gina’s direction after trying to kick her, Dennis, and “Dennis’ sluts” out of a family dinner. Inclusive!
Prior to the dinner disaster, Dennis spent time with Porsha’s sister and friends discussing his concerns for his new blended family. Dennis expressed worry that Porsha’s new man, Simon, may not see her as the real person she is. He feels Simon may only be seeing the ‘celebrity’ side of Porsha, rather than her true personhood. A very sweet and honest concern to have, in my opinion. Especially after all the buzz Porsha has garnered in her time on Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Fans on Simon’s Instagram and other social media pages have not been quiet about their questions regarding his new relationship with Porsha, either. People are wondering how Simon can be sure his soon-to-be fourth wife is ‘the one.’ They’re also curious about his family and children from his previous marriages. If you didn’t already know, Simon has five children. Thus far, he has kept them away from the Bravo cameras. After watching this mess, I can’t say I blame him.
After an Instagram user asked Simon about why his children and other family members haven’t been involved in the family-centric spin-off, he finally gave a response. Simon commented back to the follower and the moment was caught by Urban Belle Magezine. Simon wrote, “It is not necessary for my kids to entertain you or anyone else on television. They are busy with learning and being children. Hope this response suffices.”
For me, Simon’s response seems reasonable and sufficient. What I am still missing is the real relationship moments between he and Porsha on a show meant to highlight their love…

It’s gotta be hard for a new housewife to try and come into a franchise that is completely overrun with another castmate’s scandal. Jennie Nguyen is one of those housewives. Unfortunately for her, her first season on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City is completely overshadowed by Jen Shah’s legal drama. And Jen’s constant outbursts about who is with her or against her. Not to mention the rumor swirling that Meredith Marks is the one who tipped off law enforcement about where to find Jen when she was arrested. Meredith denies this.
But one of my favorite Jennie moments took place during that very tense scene. All the housewives were trying to figure out what to do when they were accosted on their party bus by the DOH looking for Jen. Lisa Barlow was calling her six lawyers. Whitney Rose was explaining the complex world of telemarketing fraud. Heather Gay was crying and asking if she should text Jen to give her a heads up. And Jennie? Jennie just wanted to go on their trip to Vail. While everyone fell apart, frozen with what to do next, Jennie simply told them, “I think we should just go.” Then she continued to eat her Cheetos, completely unbothered.
But Jennie has also made it a point to call out bs when she sees it. After a very racially insensitive remark by Mary Cosby about Jennie’s appearance, Jennie took her to task. While Mary seemed perplexed, Meredith seemingly backed her up. The rest of the ladies backed Jennie, rightfully so. Jennie made her point and she wasn’t letting Mary off the hook while she passionately described to her why what she said was wrong. So we know that Jennie is going to hold people accountable for their actions. And she plans on doing it at the reunion. She recently posted on her Instagram and stated, “People need to be accountable for the things they say. I can’t wait for the reunion!!!” She also tagged Bravo in the caption.
Her comments were flooded with support, although notably, no one from the cast of RHOSLC chimed in. Tiffany Moon, who faced her own racism on Real Housewives of Dallas, was quick to support Jennie. She commented, style=”font-weight: 400;”>“Love you girl. Sending you lots of hugs from Dallas.”
Another user added, “The way you spoke up was marvelous. You gathered everyone from the cast to the audience together and let them know what it is.” Someone else jumped in to say, “Oh, girl. We don’t need a reunion. We have your back.” Finally, another fan commented, “Proud of you for standing up for the Asian American community!”
While most first time housewives tend to dip their toes in the water, seeing where they fall in the pecking order, Jennie is a breath of fresh air. She doesn’t mind calling people out and she doesn’t take sh** either. Which is exactly what we need in a housewife.

Brandi Glanville has a lot to say about Real Housewives. And it’s not just when she’s drinking. Indeed, Brandi was recently outed for being drunk during her interview for the Dave Quinn housewives tell-all. The Not All Diamonds and Rosé: The Inside Story of The Real Housewives From the People Who Lived It author had to pull the plug when he realized Brandi was drunk. Said Dave, “There was a certain point of our interview where I was like, ‘I have to stop talking to you because I think you’re a little loaded and it doesn’t feel ethical anymore’.” Raise your hand if you’re surprised that the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was loaded for an interview? I’ll wait!
But sober Brandi also has plenty of thoughts and they aren’t limited to her former costars on RHOBH. It appears as if Brandi has been following this season of Real Housewives of Orange County. As reported by Reality Blurb, Brandi joined Two T’s In A Pod podcast hosts Teddi Mellencamp Arroyave and Tamra Judge to discuss.
Brandi started, “I can’t with Heather [Dubrow]. I can’t with Shannon [Beador] either. I feel like she’s acting.” Brandi might not sound keen on Heather. But she does like a few things about her. Like seeing her big ole mansion and the luxuries that come with it. Which isn’t exactly a compliment when someone thinks that’s the only thing you bring to the table. Brandi added, “I like that Heather is so uptight. To see the house and all that, that is insanity. But I feel like I was ready for her to go when she left last time so I don’t really know why they brought her back.”
As for the rest of the cast, Brandi doesn’t hold back on them either. She dished, “Emily [Simpson] to me is boring. I like Gina [Kirschenheiter].” She added, “[But] I feel like there’s something… I feel like she’s madly in love with her ex-husband still and I feel sorry for the guy that she’s with. That’s what it looks like to me… Just the way she talks about him, though, and she’s like, ‘But this new guy, he’s great.’ I don’t know.” Tamra, who considers Gina a friend, jumped in to debunk that theory. Said Tamra, “I know her and I never noticed that.”
Either way, Brandi is clearly following along with the current state of RHOC. And I would bet that she is watching other franchises too. After all, if she couldn’t comment on them, how else would she stay relevant?

We love a romantic reality TV crossover. Even one as chaotic as this, maybe. There has been rumors of a budding romance between The Bachelorette contestant Blake Horstmann and Love Is Blind super star Giannina “Gigi” Gibelli. The two are reported to have met on the set of a new reality show. The new show will feature stars from around the world. Contestants from shows like The Bachelorette, Jersey Shore, Love is Blind, and RuPauls Drag Race will “battle it out for a cash prize.” The show is set to air on Paramount+ sometime in 2022.
According to Instagram sleuths, Gigi and Blake have been spending plenty of time together since the filming of their new show wrapped. At least, that is how it appears. While all of this had pure conjecture, I must say, the photos told a tale before the love birds. Blake has posted photos of himself getting ready for events, out at dinner, and in various other places throughout his home in Denver, Co. Gigi has posted photos with the exact same location, with pretty near exact timing.
In several of Gigi’s posts it seemed obvious that she was in Blakes house. All it takes is looking at the background of the pair’s posts. She was caught in his backyard, laying in his bed, and standing in front of his bathroom vanity. In one of Blake’s posts, he even posted right in front of a dress Gigi wore later that night. Love is in the air, people.
According to People a source revealed Monday, after tons of internet speculation, that these two are “dating after recently meeting.” The source reveled that Gigi and Blake are “taking things slow but [they] seem really happy together.”
Gigi struggled to find love with Damian Powers after the two refused to get married on Love is Blind. Despite staying together as a couple, Gigi confirmed that she and Damian had officially split in August. At the time she acknowledged, “You definitely learn from all different kinds of love. I definitely learned from that.”
Blake, for his part, was the runner up during Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette. He also struck out BIG TIME during his time on Bachelor In Paradise. But that’s a whole story for another day.

Sharelle Rosado and Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson announced the birth of their baby girl early this week on Instagram. The announcement was reported on by Entertainment Tonight. This is Chad’s eighth child and Sharelle’s fourth. They have named their newest daughter, and first child together, Serenity Paula Johnson. In his post, Ochocinco wrote, “Just delivered Serenity ‘Hurricane’ Paula Johnson. (i still have 2 lash slots available for January).”
Sharelle’s pregnancy with little Serenity was captured during the filming of her new Netflix real estate reality series. The Selling Tampa boss and new momma is featured as a realty broker on the show. The moment Sharelle told Chad Johnson about their pregnancy was captured for the series too. While there is no news yet about a season two, season one ends with Sharelle preparing to begin her maternity leave.
Selling Tampa follows the action at Allure Realty in Tampa Florida. The firm, owned by Sharelle, is an all-Black and all female run business. In contrast to the awkward and often flirtatious tone in Selling Sunset’s Oppenheim Group, you can expect the Allure firm to take a much more serious approach towards business relationships.
“Being in the military, it’s always taught me to have bearings. I incorporate my military bearings into Allure. They know I’m the boss, and I don’t tolerate anything,” Sharelle explained earlier this month. “If it gets out of hand, I don’t even have to raise my voice. I give them a look, and that stern voice comes on. They know it’s a time and a place for everything.”
But you know what they say about all work and no play. Sharelle also gets to enjoy herself during on the new show. At least, until she learns she’s pregnant. “It’s a little hard because while we were filming, there were times when the ladies were enjoying themselves, having fun, drinking. In the blink of an eye, you just had to cut off everything because now you’re pregnant,” Sharelle admitted. “I still feel like I’m the life of the party. But it’s just nice to give a toast with champagne. Can’t do any of that.”

For the past five weeks, it’s felt really good to be excited about a new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County. Hasn’t it? In fact, I really missed the show last week when it was on a break for the holidays. But thankfully it’s now 2022 and it’s back! And even though this week’s episode felt like quite a bit of filler compared to the four that preceded it, it still did enough to carry the various storylines forward and keep me enthusiastic. Here we go!
Back in 2021, Heather Dubrow and Shannon Beador were right in the midst of the battle of the high ponies. Or maybe the peace treaty of the high ponies? Who’s to say! Either way, it was the showdown we’ve been waiting to see since the premiere went left. But Heather pivots seamlessly from warning Shannon in one breath never to mess with her family again — OR ELSE — to promising she can forgive her despite not fully trusting her anymore. It’s a whiplash of emotions. But one that Shannon’s willing to endure to put this mess behind her, even if it means having to personally apologize to Terry Dubrow. And I for one am happy to see these two agree to move on and not draw this out for the entire season.
One feud I am interested in watching continue, though, is the animosity between Noella Bergener and Dr. Jen Armstrong. These two clearly despise each other and honestly? I’m kind of living for it. Very rarely does a newbie vs. newbie feud play well — it’s hard to get invested when you barely know either of the women. But in this case, it’s working so far. Jen pulls Noella aside at the party to try to clear whatever bad vibes are brewing between them. But instead, the latter uses the opportunity to escalate the fight, and calls out Dr. Jen for tagging her in some “poorly lit” selfie thanking all of her plastic surgery clients. It’s hilarious. But in reality, the hostility started way before Noella reported Dr. Jen’s weird selfie to Instagram.
Both were friends of former ‘Wife Braunwyn Windham-Burke, so they do have a bit of history. And if a certain text message screenshot I’ve seen floating around Twitter of Dr. Jen‘s is real, they viewed each other as competition for the same orange before the cast was overhauled. (And yes, I know everyone hates her, but I imagine production casting not just one, but two of Braunwyn’s pals as new ‘Wives was just salt in the wound after the chaotic former ‘Wife was fired following Season 15.) Noella was turned off by the good doctor right from the get-go, and slams her for being “thirsty” at an off-screen pow-wow at Braunwyn’s house. However, Heather and Shannon take it upon themselves to diffuse the squabble, but not before Noella tells her nemesis to “go be relevant somewhere else.”
Post party, which ends with all the ‘Wives belly dancing together, we’re treated to a whole bunch of filler. Shannon having lunch with her dad and all three girls (plus Sophie Beador‘s new boyfriend!), Heather‘s daughter Max Dubrow showing off the cover mock-up of her new book. (It’s all about being a teenager in the 21st century – very Clarissa Explains It All meets 2022.) Eventually, Noella meets up with Shannon at the office of their shared energy healer. As they debrief on their various dramas at the party, Noella decides to take a hard stance against Heather for the first time. Yes, she drunkenly called the returning vet a couple of names at lunch with Nicole James. But this time she labels Heather as “very manipulative” and “controlling,” and seems ready to keep fighting Shannon’s battle for her.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jen hosts Nicole, Emily Simpson and Gina Kirschenheiter at her house from some casual charcuterie, wine and gossip, The aesthetic doc laments in her confessional that the only friends she has are her employees, who are basically paid to be nice to her. Which maybe isn’t a great signal. Naturally, the topic of conversation is all things Noella. And Dr. Jen has an axe to grind.
The doctor claims she met her fellow newbie the day after her backyard wedding to James Bergener, but then immediately walks that back to speculate that maybe the Bergeners aren’t actually even married in real life. This confuses Emily and Gina, who both point out that Sweet James wouldn’t be able to file for divorce unless they were legally married. But Dr. Jen still has her doubts. And goes even farther by labeling Noella mentally unstable, not fully sane and in need of help. Just, you know, from a doctor’s perspective. And now Emily’s the one doubting, suspicious that maybe Dr. Jen is just trying to sully Noella’s name and reputation amongst their new group of cast mates friends.
The following day, Heather and Terry treat Gina and her boyfriend Travis Mullen to a day at the races. And all I can think about is how this scene at Del Mar mirrors the Housewives’ trip there way back in Season 4. Twelve years ago, Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge (then Barney), Jeana Keough, Lynne Curtin and newbie Gretchen Rossi filmed at the very same racetrack. They made a whole production out of the outing, complete with a private hat-shopping party at the St. Regis beforehand. (In the wake of their historic “Did you go to Bass Lake?” showdown at Javier’s, new frenemies Gretchen and Tamra fought over who got to wear a hot pink hat.)
Cliques formed at the racetrack, with Vicki and Tamra excluding the rest of the group, and poor Lynne feeling totally left out. And this was all before the iconic “Naked Wasted” dinner party! Cut to a dozen years later and this season’s trip to Del Mar is a much more drama-free affair. Besides the fact that Shannon or any of the other ‘Wives didn’t get an invitation. Gina‘s shocked to learn there’s an actual winner’s circle at the track. And not only that, they actually get to go down and stand in it during the race! Because that’s just the sort of thing that happens when you’re friends with Heather.
However, Gina does have some rather unsavory information to pass onto her new bestie. It turns out Noella‘s been doing more gossiping behind Heather‘s back. And this time, she’s trashing Fancy Pants behind her back to Gina. Though we don’t see it in flashback, she flat-out told Gina that Heather can’t be trusted. This…is not a smart move. And it leaves Heather wondering what she possibly did to earn the newbie’s ire. And also whether Noella deserves an invite to her party to celebrate Max‘s upcoming book launch.
Finally, the episode ends with Emily paying a visit to Noella‘s house for the first time for a very hush-hush heart-to-heart. No, but seriously. Like, Noella’s inexplicably speaking in a whisper throughout the whole conversation. She blames it on losing her voice due to stress, but Emily wonders if there’s a more insidious reason. Could the house be bugged? Is Sweet James listening in all the way from Puerto Rico? It turns out, Noella’s been served with divorce papers yet again. This time with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers to ensure she came to the door. Wow, that’s just…cold and low behavior.
Emily‘s also more than happy to fill Noella in on the fake wedding rumors being spread by Dr. Jen. Noella’s not exactly surprised to hear this, but it still stings nonetheless. And she has a perfectly reasonable explanation for the details of her wedding. They got married in a private, backyard ceremony during COVID. And they’ve only been legally married for a year, despite the fact that they’ve been together for six and their son is almost two. Emily makes it clear she is firmly entrenched on Team Noella, and proves it by tossing the shady bouquet of flowers — and maybe the secret surveillance equipment — firmly in the trash. Bye James, bye!
TELL US – ARE YOU GLAD HEATHER AND SHANNON MADE UP AND MOVED ON? WHO’S MORE THIRSTY: DR. JEN OR NOELLA? WHY DO YOU THINK NOELLA HAS IT OUT FOR HEATHER? AND IS EMILY GOING TO BE THIS SEASON’S BONE CARRIER?
