Paramount+ is making us an offer we can't refuse. In the based-on-real-life-events drama The Offer, the streaming platform gives viewers the opportunity to learn about the making of...Lisa Vanderpump might have had trouble with her L.A. restaurants, but things seem to be looking up in other parts of the country. The Vanderpump Rules star and restauranteur has 36 establishments with husband Ken Todd. Including one already established in Las Vegas, named Vanderpump Cocktail Garden. Now they are adding one more to their Vegas portfolio!
As reported by People, Lisa and Todd just opened up a new Paris-themed restaurant. The eatery, appropriately named Vanderpump à Paris, is located at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. The press release notes that diners can experience a piece of Paris with its “delicious dishes, whimsical cocktails, and a lush atmosphere.”
LVP and her design partner, Nick Alain, were inspired by Lisa’s life in France. Lisa and Todd lived there for almost 10 years. Said Lisa, “We had such an incredible time living in France for close to 10 years, so we are inextricably tied to the country.” Lisa added of the restaurant’s vibe, “You’ll find our love for French wine, delicious French food, and our fascination with French culture peppered throughout Vanderpump à Paris.”
Lisa fashioned the spot after an old Parisian courtyard, complete with flowers and elegant greenery. Each piece is located throughout the restaurant in various seating areas, giving it an ethereal feel. There are about 200 seats and they are embellished with velvet and oversized, fancy pillows.
The light fixtures and custom furniture area all from LVP and Nick’s design line, Vanderpump Alain. Long, white marble and iron bars adorn one wall, with crystal chandeliers on each end. Behind it is a large window that gives a look at the Eiffel Tower and the Seine River. Water flows down the glass as an added touch of whimsy. At the center of the restaurant, there is a gold cocktail chair with a water fountain.
As for the menu, there are several cocktail and wine selections. Those drinks include sweet dessert drinks that pair with “reimagined Parisian classics” such as ratatouille frites, trio of tartares, and French onion mac and cheese. Yum!
The SVP and general manager of the new restaurant, Jason Gregorec, said that opening Vanderpump à Paris is “the beginning of a new chapter” for the hotel and casino. He said in the press release, “Lisa Vanderpump has created a one-of-a-kind destination, featuring decadent cocktails, Parisian- inspired bites and intentional design details for our guests to enjoy.
Lisa previously said of her food and drink businesses, “I’ve always had a passion for entertaining. I love that whole feeling of making guests feel special and creating a beautiful ambiance and that parlays through the whole space.”

Is it just me, or does Heather Dubrow‘s return to Real Housewives of Orange County make you nostalgic for the RHOC of yore? While I love me some Fancy Pants, I actually find myself missing the Tres Amigas antics of Vicki Gunvalson, Tamra Judge, and Shannon Beador. Which is a sentence I never thought I’d write. But it’s true.
Don’t get me wrong, Shannon‘s doing her best to carry on solo. She ambushed Heather and Terry Dubrow at their welcome back party, with the knowledge of Nicole James‘s lawsuit. Albeit she got Gina Kirschenhieter and Emily Simpson to do her dirty work for her. Girl’s slightly salty that Heather’s chosen Gina to be her number 1 gal-pal this go-round. Although I should think Shannon should just be thankful she’s not the work-in progress that is the marriage of Dr. Jen Armstrong and Ryne Holliday. No messy dinner parties for you!
While we’ve still got Shannon, and she’s definitely stirring the pot from left to right, it’s still not the same. I don’t think we’ve seen a tabletop dance thus far this season. Gasp. We did however have a naked Noella Bergener in the pool though, so that feels familiar.
And let’s be real. Tamra takes any opportunity to make herself relevant in any way she can. Most usually making digs via her podcast with Teddy Mellencamp, under the guise of ‘girl-talk.’ She thinks Heather talks to much about money, Gina and Emily are obnoxious, and called Noella the village idiot. Can’t say she’s 100 percent wrong here, but still.
Shannon was recently on Watch What Happens Live to chat with Andy Cohen about RHOC. And a fan wrote in to get her opinion on Tamra. Most specifically about Tamra claiming Shannon dropped her as soon as she was fired from the show.
The viewer queried, “Tamra said after she left OC you stopped contacting her. Is that true? And do you have regrets with your friendship and things that happened?” Andy hadn’t even finished asking the questions, when Shannon started mouthing, “NO.”
After Andy was done, Shannon answered, “It is not true, and I have text messages to show that. I just choose not to engage in the public. I absolutely was there.” And that my friends is the end of that. That is, of course, until Tammy Sue decides to clap back with a retort of her own.

Katie Maloney is official SUR-ving Tom Schwartz with divorce papers. After more than a decade together, the Vanderpump Rules star, 35, has officially filed for divorce from her...Dancing With the Stars fans were shocked when long-time host Tom Bergeron was fired ahead of the show’s 29th season. In a statement to Entertainment Tonight, BBC Studios and ABC said, “Tom Bergeron will forever be part of the Dancing with the Stars family. As we embark on a new creative direction, he departs the show with our sincerest thanks and gratitude for his trademark wit and charm that helped make this show a success.”
Tom had been the host of DWTS since it’s June 2005 debut. Tom took to Twitter to share the news. “Just informed @DancingABC will be continuing without me. It’s been an incredible 15 year run and the most unexpected gift of my career,” he tweeted. “I’m grateful for that and for the lifelong friendships made. That said, now what am I supposed to do with all of these glitter masks?”
Tom’s co-host, Erin Andrews, was also axed. Erin competed on Season 10 of DWTS and finished in third place with partner Maksim Chmerkovskiy. Erin replaced Brooke Burke as Tom’s co-host.
In September of 2020, executive producer Andrew Llinares defended the decision to fire Tom and Erin and replace them with Tyra Banks, per Entertainment Tonight. “Any show like this that has been on for many, many seasons needs to continue to evolve. So, I think changing that host is all about evolution,” Andrew stated.
“It was all about making the show feel fresh, making it feel new and make it reach out to a new audience — as well as the audience that’s been there for years.” Andrew added that Tyra “brought a new life to everything.” She certainly brought elaborate costume changes.
People reported that Andrew, who worked on DWTS for five seasons, has departed the series. And Tom had a shady response to Andrew’s exit.
A fan shared a tweet about Andrew’s departure, and tagged Tom, asking him for his “thoughts.” Tom did not disappoint. “Karma’s a b—,” he tweeted with a winky face emoji. Tom for the win!
According to People, Tom discussed his dismissal during an October 2021 interview on the late Bob Saget’s podcast, Here For You. “In all candor, the show that I left was not the show that I loved. So, at the end of the season that turned out to be my last season, I kind of knew,” Tom explained. “It was kind of obvious that we were kind of butting heads [behind-the-scenes]. It wasn’t a pleasant [experience].”
Tyra has also stirred up plenty of controversy. A source claimed that the new DWTS host allegedly made it known “behind the scenes that all of the Real Housewives cast members have been banned.”
Tyra’s publicist denied that Tyra said that. “This is 100 percent untrue. She’s a huge fan of the ‘Housewives’ and everyone knows Tyra is a businesswoman first,” her publicist stated. “She has nothing to do with casting.”
Last season, Real Housewives of Atlanta peach Kenya Moore waltzed around the ballroom. Season 30 was monumental in many ways. It saw the first same-sex couple, with pop star JoJo Siwa dancing with pro Jenna Johnson. They slayed with every routine.
Pro Cheryl Burke and her partner, Peloton instructor Cody Rigsby both contracted Covid-19 and practiced remotely during quarantine. They even danced a routine remotely from each of their homes. That was a DWTS first.
In the end, NBA star Iman Shumpert won the mirror ball with his partner Daniella Karagach. Jenna and JoJo came in second place, but are grateful to be besties.
I hope that next season, if Tyra hosts, we can cut her costume changes, and get back to the DWTS group dances at the top of the show. Please!

The lives of The Real Housewives of New Jersey are in disarray this season. From personal woes to conflict among each other. These six ladies (and Traci Barber) may never be the same again. Nobody is off-limits.
Jennifer Aydin has the most beautiful family. I might be a bit biased because she was one of the first people to compliment me on the birth of my daughter last week. However, she shines in the solo scenes with her kids.
We’re getting a good old-fashioned one-on-one sitdown! Jennifer and Margaret Josephs are meeting to hash out all of their issues. Who knows? Maybe this sit-down will bring the two women closer together.
Jennifer says she wanted to protect her kids from Bill Aydin’s affair. It was easier for her to shove it under the rug. Jennifer’s hurt. She breaks down talking to Margaret, and it seems like Marge somewhat regrets her decision.
Marge said she never would’ve brought the affair to light if she knew nobody was aware. She had no inkling that Jennifer never once confided in anyone about Bill’s actions. She thought Jennifer was going to blow it off and not get as devastated as she is.
Bill’s so embarrassed because of the affair going public. Jennifer’s having a difficult time with this because she’s finally ready to address his affair. There’s a fear that she might realize not wanting to remain in her marriage.
Jennifer’s often wondered why Bill chose to cheat in the first place. What led to his decision to stray? Bill’s silence is defeating at this point. He’s not defending his wife. You shouldn’t have to be told to stick up for your wife.
Jennifer says Bill’s refusal to get involved is worse than infidelity. Due to their culture, Jennifer was silent when the affair first went down. All of these years later, she wants more out of Bill. She wants him to take a more prominent stance in her defense.
Marge feels bad for opening Pandora’s box and causing their marital issues. Technically, Marge isn’t even the issue here. The biggest issue is her never working through the issues of the past. It might hurt less in the present if she had.
Jennifer admits she played a role in how everything’s gone down. She owns up to hitting below the belt, and she says she’ll be more conscious of the comebacks during the drama. Jennifer even wants to attempt to make peace with Melissa Gorga.
However, Jennifer also shines a light on the overall hypocrisy of everyone in the group. She brings up her issues with Jackie Goldschneider, but Marge retorts with a comment about Jennifer’s digging for info. She says it happened after Jackie and Teresa Giudice made up, and Teresa never did any digging. Jennifer asks Marge how she knows Teresa wasn’t calling around. OH SNAP. Let’s GO.
Jennifer won’t say that she was calling around asking for info on Tre’s behalf. It’s so obvious Teresa is behind this. Typical! I love her anyway though.
Jennifer’s surprised to learn about the allegations of abuse against Louie Ruelas. Marge gets Jennifer wondering about Louie’s character. The biggest advancement in all of this is the idea of a ceasefire between Marge and Jennifer.
Dolores Catania and Frank Catania spend so much time together for being divorced. Their chemistry is through the roof. Part of me wouldn’t hate the idea of them giving their romance another chance.
Dolores’ mom is spending another week in the hospital which is a big blow to the family. Getting her mother on a healthy regimen is going to be more difficult than it sounds.
Dolores is shocked to learn that David Principe talks about her all of the time. They haven’t had any communication with each other, but Frank thinks David’s hurt. There wasn’t much closure in this relationship.
Frank urges Dolores to find a boyfriend instead of sleeping around. He wants her to find the right guy who will treat her right. Hopefully, she finds her happily ever after in her next man.
The team at the rehabilitation center wants Jackie to go to the live-in facility to get help. Evan Goldschneider wants her to do whatever they’re asking of her. He wants her to do whatever she can to live a long and happy life.
Antonia Gorga still has no interest in resuming her cheerleading activities. She hasn’t been the same since her torn ACL, and it’s concerning Melissa and Joe Gorga. Possible red flags on the horizon.
The tension between Bill and Jennifer is palpable. It hasn’t been the same since the exposure of the affair. Jennifer said at the time, not talking about the affair was the best way to cope. She wants to do whatever is needed to get back in a good place.
Bill’s finally sticking up for Jennifer, but it’s a shame he had to be pushed for it. He doesn’t want any part of the forgiveness she’s offering the group. It’s obvious he’s embarrassed and ashamed on some level and doesn’t want to speak on it. However, that silence is what caused a decade of resentment to build up in the first place.
Marge is concerned about Jackie’s choice not to do the inpatient treatment for her eating disorder. She doesn’t want anything bad happening to her friend, but she’s been concerned for a while. Also, she doesn’t want to push too hard because Jackie tends to blow up on this topic.
David’s offering to look after Dolores’ mother, but it’s not happening. He’s still not speaking to Dolores. It’s like a dagger to her heart. Why can’t they have a simple conversation?
Dolores wants to feel all of the bad feelings to grow. Jennifer equates it to her marriage woes. She’s still devastated about the state of her marriage. It would be nice if they can make things work.
Jackie doesn’t want to give Jennifer the benefit of the doubt because of Evan. Marge shares the information with Jackie about Tre’s possible digging which enrages Jackie. Everyone in this group is getting so comfortable trying to wreck each other’s personal lives. It’s quite sad to witness.
Teresa’s pissed that Marge or Traci would keep bringing up Louie and the allegations. I have a feeling the tree course event Traci’s hosting will be nothing but a drama fest. Teresa vs Margaret is about to kick into high gear.
The tree course looks terrifying. These women freak out so easily on each other, so trusting while blindfolded is a big ask. However, the primary conversations are all about Jennifer and the state of her marriage. It’s hanging on by the teeniest of threads by the way Marge makes it sound.
Why is Dolores totally fine with Jennfier taking the complete fall for the digging? Teresa is so obviously behind all of this, but Dolo is on her ride or die BS again. Give me a break with her definition of loyalty.
Teresa’s longest-serving puppet Dolores fills everyone in about Tre’s plan to come in hot. She’s in a rage because of Traci and Marge’s recent comments about Louie. Let’s not dare pop the love bubble. It’s red flag central, but okay.
Teresa doesn’t want to be at the treescape, and she’s not even trying to hide it. She’s already on a rampage and ranting about how dumb the experience is. She also has no idea that Jennifer’s upset with the lack of vocal support from Teresa. She’s not getting the same energy back from Tre that she gives her.
Teresa doesn’t understand how she’s a hypocrite for digging dirt on Evan but not wanting anyone to question Louie. Make it make sense. I don’t want a legion of Tre Huggers after me for this, but maybe Tre’s time is up. She doesn’t enjoy the show, and she wants her relationship private. Nothing is private when you’re on a reality show.
Teresa says Marge looks like shit, and Marge says Tre looked like shit all last year. This is it, folks. We’re off to the races with this Teresa vs Margaret feud!
TELL US – TEAM TERESA OR TEAM MARGARET? WILL JENNIFER AND BILL LAST? IS TERESA A HYPOCRITE? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF REAL HOUSEWIVES OF NEW JERSEY?
