Clayton Echard got visibly emotional on The Bachelor--no, for real this time. In a sneak peek at the March 14 episode, Echard was forced to deal with the wreckage of his disastrous...
Caitlyn Jenner is doing amazing on her own, sweetie. Yes, the Olympian will be sitting out of Hulu's The Kardashians when it premieres in April, E! News has learned. But that...So you’re saying there’s a chance? Love Is Blind’s Deepti Vempati quickly became America’s sweetheart after we watched her choose her worth over some dingus at the altar. The dingus I’m referring to (as if you didn’t know) is Abhishek “Shake” Chatterjee. The veterinarian, part-time DJ, and dating show super villain dogged Deepti out behind her back throughout their engagement. It got back to her, she dumped him and the rest is history.
Well, not entirely. At the reunion episode, Shake made things even worse for himself just by talking. But one good thing did come out of the reunion for Deepti – Kyle Abrams. Kyle, who was briefly engaged to Shaina Hurley, didn’t even make it to the altar before they broke up. And he openly admitted that he played it all wrong. Said Kyle, “Biggest regret is I should have asked Deepti to marry me. That’s what I learned the most. I f—ked up. I should have tried harder for you. I love her so much, she’s the best. And I wish I saw what was right in front of me and that’s my biggest regret. I’m sorry.” SWOON!
Now he might actually have a chance to right his wrong. As reported by E! News, Deepti seems to be weighing her options outside of the pods. Said Deepti, “I actually have no regrets. Who knows, if I did pick Kyle what if—because we were under a microscope—maybe we wouldn’t have worked out.” What we didn’t know was how close she may have come to picking Kyle. Deepti revealed, “I don’t think a lot of people know this, because they didn’t show it on camera, but Kyle was my No. 2 person in the pods.” She added, “I was really on the fence about if I should choose Shake or go with Kyle.”
As for Shake, sounds like he knew that Kyle was better suited for Deepti in the end. In a previous interview with E! News, Shake said he doesn’t trust Kyle. Like most of us with Shake, Deepti doesn’t get it. She confessed, “Kyle has never done anything to Shake. Kyle and I were close, so I don’t know if that’s where it stemmed from, but he knew that we were close this entire time, so it’s nothing new for him. It was confusing to me just like the rest of the world, honestly.”
Now that Deepti and Kyle’s Tik Tok teasing a relationship went viral, she sounds optimistic. Said Deepti, “I think we can do things our own way now. So, we’ll see where it goes.” And about that statement from Kyle wishing that he would have proposed? Deepti demurred, “I thought that was very sweet. We built a strong foundation in the pods…So you know, it’s not just out of nowhere.”

No plans this weekend? Well, get ready to start your engine because we have the binge-watch you'll speed your way through. Netflix's Formula 1: Drive to Survive--which offers an...Good news this time for one of our favorite Mob wives! TMZ reports that Renee Graziano of the former Bravo show is in the process of getting professional treatment for substance abuse. While the show aired and in years since, the reality star has opened up about her mental health issues, explaining she’s struggled with addiction since her twenties.
Now, on the road to recovery, she has connected with Red Songbird, a foundation aimed at helping people get support for trauma, mental health and alcoholism or substance abuse. The foundation was founded by singer Hilary Roberts in 2009, who partnered up with The Hills star Jason Wahler in 2019.
Jason, for his part, has his own history of substance abuse issues, with more than 12 arrests under his belt, and visits to 12 different rehabilitation centers. The MTV alum stated in 2019 that at age 18-23 he was a “womanizing alcoholic”. Now dedicated to staying sober, he has made it his mission to help others experiencing similar struggles.
Aware of this and the opportunity to connect the two, Teen Mom’s Dr Drew put Renee in touch with Jason who helped introduce her into the program. The foundation has been a beacon of support for her in her path to wellness. Staying at the facility, Renee has been working on various issues but specifically an addiction to prescription sleeping medication. She is a month sober, having entered treatment in California February 6th. She has no intentions of leaving the program until she feels she is ready.
Renee has identified her addiction issues as rooted in anxiety, depression, and past abusive relationships including sexual assault. She explains that, thanks in part to Red Songbird, she is making steady progress towards a healthier way of living.
Some of the supports the foundation provides are one on one chats with staff and EMDR, also known as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. The intent of EMDR is to allow individuals to process past trauma, within a safe space, with the aim of improving overall coping skills and a shift in potentially harmful perspectives.
The reality star is also receiving therapy, joining processing and wellness groups, anger management sessions, and others mental health resources that she contributes to her overall success and current state.
This is certainly good news, as reader’s may recall, Renee was arrested in January for a DUI after hitting a parked vehicle and rolling over. When asked if the incident had anything to do with her seeking professional help, she said she had already been planning on it. We’re happy Renee is getting the support she needs, and hope the best for her on her continued wellness journey.

Love him or hate him, you can’t deny that Jordan Wiseley is doing a good thing. The Challenge star flew to Poland with roommate Kevin Pasdon on a whim to help the people of Ukraine.
This news comes hot on the heels of the announcement that former Real Housewife of New York, Bethenny Frankle sent $10 million dollars to aid Ukrainians fleeing the war. As of now, Bethenny’s BStrong Foundation has raised $25 million dollars for Ukraine. Andy Cohen even awarded the RHONY alum his “mazel” of the week for the work she was doing, on Watch What Happens Live. You go girl.
I love it when stars put their minds to helping, rather than reality chaos. Jordan went on TMZ to explain that he didn’t really have a plan, he just wanted to do something.
After watching the conflict develop over a few days, Jordan went to his roommate. “Kev, I know this is weird, but the last two days I’ve woken up wondering how could we get to the Ukraine, if we wanted to?” Kevin for his part had been telling his girlfriend that if something happened, “I feel like I need to be there.”
Jordan and Kevin flew to Warsaw, Poland with no real plan, other than getting as close to the border as they could. They fell in with a small group of individual strangers who all had the same mindset. When they went to the border they saw a man with a florescent vest and bullhorn and knew, “That’s the guy.”
Jordan told ‘the guy.’ “We can do anything. I can carry anything you want. I can drive anything you want.” Jordan has a background in construction and could drive large trucks with manual transmission. Kevin was a former EMT and firefighter, so also had medical skills and large truck experience. There American Passports were even more important.
“I have a shipment of cargo that needs to go to soldiers in the Ukraine,” said ‘the guy.’ Which is where Jordan and Kevin came in. Kevin explained, “A lot of these… foreign nations that are wanting to help a for one reason or another their drivers cannot cross over, cause its out of the EU into the Ukraine. But because of our US Passports we’re able to.”
And so that’s what Jordan and Kevin have been doing ever since they arrived in Poland. Driving cargo and supplies across the border and back, whenever needed. Let’s file this under unselfish acts by reality stars, shall we?

Real Housewives of Miami has been the perfect season. Fashion, drama (but not toxic), and hilarious women. What more could you ask for? Peacock got it right when they decided this was the city to reboot. This season gets a big chef’s kiss from this writer.
Andy Cohen kicks off part two of the reunion by asking Nicole Martin about her surprise engagement. It was a weird shift for her to go from never getting married to planning a wedding. What changed? Why’s Nicole suddenly so eager to walk down the aisle?
Lisa Hochstein says Nicole never told her the news of her engagement. Announcing it in the press is rubbing a lot of the girls the wrong way. Nicole’s trying to explain to them that she doesn’t understand how all of this works yet. It’s just a PR move for her. However, Marysol Patton swears all of the ladies would’ve kept it under wraps. Doubtful, but go on sis. She also takes a jab at Nicole for it being on their website, but Nicole snaps that it’s also in print.
Alexia Echevarria tells Nicole not to compare her engagement to her elopement. Well damn. Alexia’s always trying to hit everyone with her life being more important. Life isn’t a competition.
Nicole’s asked if she cares about this group as real friends, and she provides evidence. She gives examples of recent times she invited all of the women to various outings. That shuts down that.
Even though Nicole’s used to holding grudges, it doesn’t seem like the door is closed on a friendship with Marysol. On some level, Marysol finds Nicole’s life to be authentic, but she’s still made jabs. They’re going to have to put in a lot of work next season.
Nicole says her father showed up on Thanksgiving, but it was another shitshow. They’re not in the best of places, and things are now worse off than before. As of now, they’ve never even spoken about her engagement. This relationship might remain permanently fractured.
Adriana de Moura’s display in Larsa Pippen’s Hamptons room was uncalled for. She’s not a child. There’s no reason for her to strip naked in someone else’s bathroom to stake your claim. Children don’t even behave in such a foolish manner. Toward the end of the season, she was doing the most to earn a full-time spot. Too bad she still was relegated to a “friend” role.
Lisa Hochstein explains why she wasn’t down to share rooms with anyone on the trip. She offered to get a hotel room, but that wasn’t good enough for everyone. Lisa was for sure acting like a brat on that trip, but Alexia was always quite aggressive toward her.
Julia Lemigova’s friendship proposal was another bizarre moment of that trip. They claim to be platonic, but it was a little weird to watch. Adriana denies the two of them have ever kissed, but nobody’s buying it. None of their friends believe a word coming out of their mouths.
Julia had a hangover. She drank too much. Why wouldn’t she just own it? For some reason, she was going out of her way to act like it was a medical emergency. It’s not a crime. Own it.
Lisa says she and her husband Lenny Hochstein haven’t fully recovered from his emotional affair. They both brought a lot of issues into the marriage that led to that moment. Divorce was something on the table as a possible option. However, with a relationship approaching nearly two decades, there are bound to be rough moments at times.
When Lisa found the messages eight years ago and confronted him, he told her he didn’t love her. That had to be difficult to hear. They’re trying for a family at the time, and those are the words he was spewing to her.
The temporary split caused Lisa to enter a deep depression, and she felt so unloved. She doesn’t want to call it an emotional affair because the other person meant nothing. She admits she was using alcohol to cope with the downward spiral of her life. Sadly, things got to that dark of a place in Lisa’s life.
I’ll never not laugh so much at Lisa showing up to the funeral thing in bright ass green. Everyone’s in mourning colors, and she looks like a St. Patrick’s Day mascot. HILARIOUS.
Alexia goes through the wringer. Every aspect of her personal life is bonkers. From the gay husband to her son’s accident to her mother dying on her wedding day. It’s a lot for one person.
It’s a bit weird for Alexia to out her late husband as being gay. I don’t know. I find it not okay to do that. It’s a part of her life, but at the same time, it’s weird to take that power from him. If he wasn’t openly discussing it in the past, why make it your storyline in the present?
Todd Nepola and Peter Rosello’s fight was hard to watch. It seemed cathartic for them as a family, but it was too much as a viewer. Some moments in people’s lives feel awkward to be looking in on. Their family discussion is one of them. Some things are better left for off-camera.
Alexia says their family is stronger after Peter’s arrest. Todd’s supporting Peter through all of the allegations against him which is a major step forward for their family. Hopefully, they remain a united front against whatever the next challenge they face.
How wild is it that we are having a reunion fight about Kanye West’s dick? According to Larsa, Kanye denies Adriana ever taking a sneak peek at his package. Nobody in the group believes Adriana. It does sound like an overreach, but Adriana allegedly has photographic evidence.
The photo proves nothing. It’s a photo of Adriana in front of a bathroom with Kanye. And? That isn’t concrete evidence of anything. However, that’s not even Larsa’s biggest issue. She doesn’t want anyone speaking about her former friends like this. She doesn’t want people in her life being discussed in such a derogatory way.
Julia accuses Larsa of not genuinely caring about her medical issue in the Hamptons. They believe the only thing Larsa cared about that day was her jewelry line. That’s how it came across on camera. Larsa’s trying to be something she’s not. At the same time though, Julia’s low-key acting like Adriana’s follower. Stop being her little soldier.
I don’t think either of them is jealous of the other. They’re both trying to claim the Queen Bee title, and neither wants to give an inch. The reunion ends with Adriana and Larsa seemingly in a better place. Next season is going to be a pivotal time in their friendship.
