Let awards season begin! Rosario Dawson and Vanessa Hudgens announced the nominations for the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday, Jan. 11, and now, film and TV's biggest...Andy Cohen might be the face of Bravo, but he doesn’t always shy away from sharing his opinions on the Real Housewives like the rest of us Bravoholics. He obviously has closer relationships with some stars than others in his personal life, but can also appreciate them as TV characters. Just recently, Andy shared his Top 5 favorite Real Housewives moms of all time. Take away his title, and he’s a reality TV junkie just like the rest of us.
Ahead of the premiere of the next season of Real Housewives of New Jersey, Andy decided to show some love to the lovable HouseHusbands of the Garden State. (Sidenote: can we please get one RHONJ episode dedicated to the husbands this go around?) The Watch What Happens Live host took to Instagram to do a Q&A with fans. One follower asked Andy to pick a favorite HouseHusband, which was a daunting task for the Bravo Boss.
“I don’t have a FAVORITE but I think we can all agree this man is a Hall of Famer….” Andy wrote over a photo of Joe Gorga. Don’t tell Joe Giudice that Andy said that. Something tells me that won’t go over well for the man who went to prison on national TV as well as never shied away from showing off his splits skills.
I love Andy’s love and admiration for the Giudice/Gorga fam. They really are the reason that RHONJ is such a legendary franchise. Teresa Giudice’s table flip will always remain a pivotal moment in Real Housewives history. But Tarzan has his own legacy on the show, even if he and his sister disagree on how Melissa Gorga ended up with a full-time role. Without Joey Gorga, there would be no infamous RHONJ christening episode.
We probably wouldn’t have MelGo’s No. 1 bop “On Display” if Joe didn’t put a music studio in their suburban castle home. And whenever he appears on screen with Frank Catania, it’s always a gift. Especially when they’re literally kissing each others’ asses.
Even though Tre and Joe are in a good place these days, it doesn’t mean the Gorgas won’t have drama. Her oldest dorter Gia Giudice is going to beef with her uncle. She’s really done with the way the Gorgas talk about her dad Juicy Joe. But what’s a season of RHONJ without some Giudice/Gorga back and forth? Truly, I have no idea.

A reconciliation gone wrong. Heather Dubrow is eager to clear the air with Noella Bergener on the Jan. 12 all-new episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but as this exclusive...The best part about the current season of Real Housewives of Orange County is not the return of Heather Dubrow or the perfect amount of petty Housewives’ drama. No, it’s how much it’s rubbing the show’s fired star Kelly Dodd the wrong way. Kelly is nothing but a fool. She’s doing overtime in a feeble attempt to stay in the RHOC narrative, and it’s honestly pitiful to watch.
Kelly’s tactics of choice to remain relevant include berating Fancy Pants any chance she gets and doing the most cliche Real Housewives schtick of all time — starting a podcast that no one asked for. I’m so glad Bravo took out the trash. The entire show has a lighter feel now that Kelly is out of the loop. Now, she just needs to learn to log off and keep her tone-deaf opinions to herself before she gets in any more trouble. At least she has Rick Leventhal, her delusional soul mate to be her partner in all of the chaos.
In Kelly’s latest line of ridiculous behavior, she decided to throw a few more low blows at Heather. Except this Twitter feud was between Kelly Fraud and a PARODY ACCOUNT of Heather Dubrow. Yes, Kelly didn’t have enough media literacy to notice she was fighting with a bot account. Her tweets have since been deleted, but the account @heatherdumbrow has screenshots for us to laugh at. God bless.
The fake Heather account incidentally started beef with Kelly by responding to an article about Kelly’s firing. “I fired you. Get over it,” the fake Heather wrote. That was enough for Kelly to jump in not only to harp on RHOC’s ratings even more, but to also insult Heather and her family. Sounds about Kelly.
Kelly wrote, “Lmfao! Ratings suck because of your fugly face and attitude and no one wants to know about your kids sexuality!” Yeah, because KELLY DODD is definitely known for her STELLAR attitude. Give me a break. In the meantime, those of us on the right side of history will be tuning into RHOC every Wednesday night, thank you very much.

There's nothing like being honored by your peers. Winning an Oscar or an Emmy comes with an undeniable amount of prestige. Meanwhile, box office returns and ratings give you a window...The return of Cheer has us doing cartwheels around the room! Our favorite cheer team, Navarro, is back on Netflix for season two on Jan. 12, and they're ready to defend their...Robyn Dixon became engaged to her ex-husband, Juan Dixon as season five of Real Housewives of Potomac was wrapping and the coronavirus pandemic was only beginning. The proposal came after years of viewers claiming Robyn had no story line and Juan just wasn’t interested in her romantically anymore. While the two initially planned on a “small destination wedding”, season six of the show featured all kinds of excuses for postponing the nuptials.
Rather than blame the pandemic, Robyn explained that the two were focused on “enjoying their engagement” instead. Haven’t they already been married and living together for like…decades? I don’t get it.
In a recent interview with BET, Robyn shared a bit more about her wedding plans, or lack thereof. “We still do not have a date,” she revealed. “But honestly, I’ve kind of shifted the type and scope of wedding that I want. I really think that I could plan something [myself].”
“It’s going to be small in scale to the point where I could plan it in a few weeks,” Robyn explained. She admitted that her intentions for the celebration have changed since reflecting on how much effort a large event can be. She said, “I really wanted a destination wedding at first, but it is our second wedding. We already had a huge 400 person wedding.”
“We just moved into a new house, we’re furnishing the house, and I’m probably going to be sending both of my kids to private school next year,” Robyn continued with the rationale. “We’re trying to be smart and not really spend a ton of money on what we don’t really need to. When you go through what I’ve been through financially, you don’t ever want to be back there.”
As far as a date? Robyn revealed, “Once Juan’s basketball season is over, which will be like the middle of March or so, we’ll have something on the books.” Giving me big spring-summer-jogger vibes, here.
Robyn’s main story line seems to be that she doesn’t have a story line. She’s the anti-arc. A void of character development, if you ask me. Could she be trying to drag this wedding out until the Bravo cameras are interested in filming? Or maybe she and Juan just aren’t as interested in tying the knot as some thought.

Mary Cosby has completely derailed this season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. While the trailer promised plenty of Jen Shah drama, Mary came along and said “hold my [proverbial] beer.” Or tea. Or whatever she drinks. A few days ago, the news broke that Mary skipped out on the reunion. Fans surmised that she didn’t want to address that her church is rumored to be a cult. There is also speculation that Mary didn’t want to be accountable for her racially insensitive remarks. And since Mary has no almost friends left in her corner, she would be left to defend herself alone. I don’t even think Meredith Marks would jump in to save her at this point.
So Mary took to social media to rant about it, leaving fans both cringing and confused. According to Mary, “TV watching lowers IQ. And it increases rudeness too.” She also added a quote from a psychiatrist named Marcia Sirota. She quoted, “Reality TV is junk food for our brain, and in the same way that junk food rots our teeth and makes us sick, bad reality TV rots our brain and makes us rude.” Mary concluded, “Reality shows have a negative impact on our children in more ways than one. These shows focus on bullying, aggressive behavior and unhealthy competition, and kids often tend to confuse reality TV with the real world.”
Now Mary is facing the financial consequence of her actions by skipping the reunion. As reported by Radar Online, Mary reportedly lost out on $18K from Bravo to appear. The gossip outlet Tamra Tattles had a source that revealed, “Mary and the rest of the cast signed a five-year deal limiting their increases until it ends.” The outlet’s source also claimed, “They made $2k per episode for season one. Then, they all got ‘thank you bonuses’ in the form of a renegotiated salary of $6,500 per episode for season 2 as opposed to a 10% increase.”
The reports are that Mary is done with RHOSLC but an insider said she would be getting a pay raise if she stuck around for another season. Which seems highly unlikely, since skipping the reunion is the housewives kiss of death. The source added, “They will receive increases for season three based on their contributions to the series. Expect Jen and Meredith to reach the $9-10k range and the others to get just 10%. The newbie will probably only get 10% also in order to keep production costs down.”
But it might have been worth it to Mary to skip out. The source claimed, “She did not show, and her attorney told Shed Media that she wants to receive her final paychecks ASAP, seemingly signaling the end to her participation on the series. People at both the network and production company (level) believe she is upset about a bad edit. So they are going to wire her $6,000 per episode to her and leave her be.” Maybe she can send Jesus for her checks.

The Lala Kent and Randall Emmett breakup news cycle seems to be slowing down. But Lala is doing her best to keep it going. At this point, she’s said so much, what else is there to reveal? Randall is allegedly a narcissistic cheater who built their relationship on lies. And according to the Vanderpump Rules star, she’s moved on. She recently revealed that “all in all, I feel like the most powerful, independent, and most beautiful that I have ever felt in my entire life.”
But Lala has some critics who don’t love the way she has handled the social media takedown of her ex and father of her daughter. One of those people is the always outspoken Golnesa “GG” Gharachedaghi. The Shahs of Sunset star recently blew up Lala’s spot on social media with her thoughts.
GG said , “If someone [Randall] is being their authentic-self and it’s all being referred to as “red flags”, why does the person [Lala] wait until they’ve experienced so many of these ‘red flags’ before they walk away?” GG continued, “Just saying… Walk away and stop complaining unless you’re ready to take accountability for choosing to stay after the first ‘red flag’ because all of this press/media sh*t ain’t cute when it’s about the father of your child.” Oop! We should have known GG wouldn’t hold back.
Now, Lala is firing back at GG. On a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, Lala addressed what GG had to say about her. Host Andy Cohen asked the fan question, “Have you spoken to GG from Shahs since she said you need to take accountability for your ignoring all of Randall’s red flags? And why did you unfollow her on Instagram? Because she said that?”
Lala responded, “Yeah. I thought it was inappropriate. She knows nothing about what’s going on and how deep and dark and disgusting everything is.” She added, “I just thought as someone who is a single mom that you would take a pause and have compassion. I just thought after that I don’t need the negativity.”
Well, if Lala is right about one thing, it’s that she definitely doesn’t need the negativity. But can someone tell her that the majority of the negativity is coming from her? Just sayin’.

Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador is familiar with messy divorces. Shannon really went through it during her marriage to David Beador. RHOC viewers watched the fallout from David’s affair, and the couple’s attempt at some very odd marriage counseling. The image of Shannon pretending to be deceased while David spoke to her was creepy.
In October of 2017, David and Shannon separated. The divorce was vicious, with disputes over finances and the couple’s three daughters. In April of 2019, the couple finally reached a divorce settlement.
So, while Shannon dislikes all RHOC newbies, she has taken a shine to Noella Bergener. And Noella is having a rough first season. It all started when Noella found out, from the blogs, that her husband, James Bergener, owed $5 million in back taxes to the IRS and the State of California. Oof.
Then James hit Noella with divorce papers that he filed in Puerto Rico. James claimed that he hadn’t been living with Noella and their 2-year-old son. RHOC viewers saw a devastated Noella when she found out about James filing for divorce. James allegedly cut off her credit cards and left her without any way to access any funds. He seems like a real charmer.
Shannon can relate to Noella’s marital woes. “Our circumstances are a little bit different, and to be honest with you, I think she was blindsided more than I was, and that’s why I have empathy for her — and I still do have that empathy,” Shannon stated.
Noella and James continued to spar in the public eye over the last several weeks. Their posts are confusing and contradict each other, so I have no idea what the hell is happening.
Noella took to Instagram to explain how poorly she, and her son, were being treated. “To this date James has not visited our son or giving me any explanation for his departure,” Noella wrote.
She said, “My cards are still shut off, he hasn’t paid a dime in support, he stopped paying for our home and is currently holding up our divorce unless I sign a statement saying that I lied about him, his business partner and his brand.”
James posted three videos on his Instagram, where he blasted Noella. He claimed that Noella changed as filming for RHOC neared. He also stated that he had paid $150,000 for his son’s care.
Noella responded by reposting one of James’ videos on Instagram. She explained in the caption that James called her for the first time in 5 months to ask for help with his PR as a personal injury attorney.
“I told him to stop holding up support,” Noella wrote, “…get his son a gift for Xmas & that I was going to use my settlement to buy a home for our family and I’d publicly thank him.” Then, hours later, James shared his damning videos.
Shannon told Entertainment Tonight that she is the closest RHOC cast member to Noella. “I’ve texted with her a little bit, and I just say I’m here for her if she needs anything, because I know how difficult it is,” Shannon shared. She doesn’t think that Noella and James should be fighting it out on social media.
She stated, “My position is always not to argue with anyone on social media, because then people weigh in and have opinions and it’s none of their business.” Shannon added, “So, I feel bad for her that it’s public, but I think he went out there and made some videos and I guess at some point you feel you have to respond. It’s a nasty situation.”
And social media recently caused a bit of a problem for Shannon. James posted his videos on Instagram, and Shannon was the only RHOC cast member who was following his account. Entertainment Tonight mentioned the follow to Shannon during their phone interview, and she had no idea that she was following James.
“I must’ve pressed follow by mistake, because I didn’t intend to follow it,” Shannon remarked. “Shoot! I better unfollow it right now.” Something tells me that Noella will forgive Shannon. These two will be thick as thieves this season, probably out of necessity.

Is everyone ready for another Vanderpump Rules episode where James Kennedy freaks out? Over the last several episodes, it’s happened far too much. It’s not difficult to comprehend what might’ve led to his split from Raquel Leviss. The behavior is off the rails. His switch to anger is quick and doesn’t take much.
Isn’t it weird watching James & Raquel plan their engagement party? Knowing these two aren’t actually going to wed takes a lot of the excitement out of the scene, but whatever.
There’s a lot of underlying tension going into the event between James & Brock Davies. It isn’t a great place for any of them to be in. If James had any inkling about the surprise wedding Brock’s planning, he’d lose his shit so hard. Brock’s really teetering the line between cute and shady with this. I’d be pissed if I was James & Raquel.
I don’t want to hear anything about Brock’s business. It wouldn’t surprise me if this is the reason why he’s in Scheana Marie’s life. He’s struck me as an opportunist since day one. I see right through him.
Scheana’s nervous things are weird between her and Raquel after the blowup with their men. Raquel’s not responding to any of her messages, so things are looking iffy. She should make a latch ditch effort to reach out to Raquel. If that doesn’t work, don’t go on the trip. There’s no reason to make things awkward for herself or everyone else because that accomplishes nothing.
For someone who seemingly has a severe lack of funds, Brock’s photo shoot looks so official. The price tag for the event looks way out of Brock’s range. Who is footing the bill for this? Is it Scheana? I thought he didn’t have the capital to do anything. Weird because he HAS to know people are going to comment on it.
James backs out of the event which isn’t shocking whatsoever because he’s made his feelings clear about this since the first time it was pitched. I’m not sure why he’s wasting his time and feigning illness. Just admit you don’t want to be there. Own it!
Charli Burnett’s in this scene as well. However, you wouldn’t know it because she’s been given the weirdest main cast edit ever. Sometimes she’s heavily featured, and other times, she’s a fly on the wall. Their treatment of Charli’s been all over the place at best.
It’s bizarre that Scheana’s already working on the prenuptial agreement, but it’s smart. The one off-putting thing about all of it is how eager Brock is to sign it. It’s like he wants to prove to the world how great of a man he is.
Katie Maloney & Ariana Madix are seeking out Randall Emmett as a possible investor. Ariana’s running late for the meeting with Randall. How are you not going to show up for something so critical? You’re asking for a shit ton of money, and you can’t be bothered to arrive on time? Good luck getting someone to fork over cash like that.
Randall isn’t playing around and sets a timer for 30 minutes. The whole thing is a joke. The sandwich shop is a joke as well. All of the storylines this season feel fake and forced. I’d be surprised if this show gets picked up for another season after this. It’s BAD.
Ariana finally saunters into the meeting, and I can’t even be mad. They already have a more solid name than the Toms do. That’s the first step to getting their fledgling idea of the ground. Randall wants to be a part of this so damn badly. All the man wants is a hoagie in his name. Give him what he wants! Hopefully his partners come through and give him the green light to fund their project.
After signing the agreement, a deeply emotional Brock officially gets down on one knee to propose. I must be a heartless human for not sharing any joy for them. I’m watching this and digging so far deep down to get a sliver of happiness. Can’t do it. Not a fan of this man AT ALL because something has always felt off.
Scheana doesn’t want to take anything away from James & Raquel, but Brock’s insistent. She doesn’t see the need to wait to get married. but this might go horribly wrong. Brock’s already got her convinced this is the right thing to do. This is the shittiest thing you could do as someone’s friend. I know James & Raquel eventually call it quits, but that’s not the point. This isn’t what friends do to one another.
The destination for the engagement party is breathtaking. The rooms look like they’re part of a real castle. Gorgeous! James & Raquel knocked it out of the park with this one. Absolutely stunning.
Ariana’s concerned about the way James grabbed a hold of Raquel. She tried pleading her concerns to Raquel, but an irate James once again hijacked the conversation. His anger issues must’ve played a pivotal role in the downfall of their relationship. He’s too all over the place for it not to be a factor.
Tom Sandoval’s so nervous at the idea of Brock stealing the spotlight from James. He’s going to freak out. James is probably the worst possible person to do something like this to. He’s a stick of dynamite waiting for someone to light him up and explode.
James apologizes to Ariana & Brock, but the vibe he’s giving off says the opposite. He’s clearly still pissed off at Brock and looking for a fight. I don’t care for Brock, but all James is doing is proving his point. James has no idea how to talk to anyone because he doesn’t know how to listen.
Paranoia’s growing amongst the group about Brock & Scheana’s secret wedding. Sandoval’s starting to crack. Everything’s on the verge of unraveling. Bring on the drama! Next week’s season finale’s going to be one for the ages.
