The American Song Contest semifinals kicked off with a good night for the Evergreen State. Washington's Allen Stone won the jury vote and an automatic spot in the Grand Final on May...
Talk about life imitating art. In the time-bending second season of Netflix's Russian Doll, Chloë Sevigny plays Lenora, the mother of Natasha Lyonne's character Nadia. When...Name a more loyal housewife than Dolores Catania. I’ll wait! The Real Housewives of New Jersey star has proven over her last 5 seasons on the show that she is ride or die for the ones she loves. She’s even besties and business partners with ex-husband, Frank Catania. And this season, she let him move back into her house! I’m glad they have a mature relationship but that has to put a damper on dating.
Frank aside, there is no one that Dolores has stuck by more than OG Teresa Giudice. The two have often talked about their 20+ year friendship. They also use the term “like family” to describe each other often. For someone as flawed as Tre, she is lucky she has Dolores in her corner. So naturally, you would think that Dolores would be involved in the next chapter of Teresa’s life – her engagement and upcoming nuptials to Luis “Louie” Ruelas. After all, Dolores is one of the VERY few people who have not commented on the controversy surrounding Louie.
But Heavy is reporting that Dolores wasn’t invited, let alone involved, in Tre’s recent engagement celebrations. Dolores appeared on an episode of Two T’s In A Pod, hosted by Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp, to explain. Dolores stated, “I wasn’t invited, not for any reason. But they said they only kind of invited people who they went out together as couples.” The soiree was held at a New York restaurant back in December.
Dolores continued, “There may be another reason behind it, however, what I can tell you it was not because of Teresa and I weren’t getting along or anything. Louie really didn’t know me as a couple because I didn’t mingle with them as a boyfriend, girlfriend, you know, I had not gotten to know Louie yet. And I think Louie wanted just people — and it was intimate.”
Regardless of the lack of invite, Dolores assured us that she is happy for Tre. Said Dolores, “I just say ‘Teresa, I’m just so freaking happy for you!’ And it’s not about me and it’s not about the people who called me and said you should have been invited and it’s not about any of that. It’s about you’re happy and this guy is good to you and your kids. And really that’s really all I care about.”
TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED THAT DOLORES WASN’T INVITED TO TRE’S ENGAGEMENT PARTY? DO YOU BELIEVE THE REASON WHY? WOULD YOU BE UPSET IF YOU WERE DOLORES?

Oh Raquel Leviss. What’s not to love? I will stand by this graceful, well-intentioned, gentle, and kind woman until forever. Watching this Bambi-eyed b*tch stand tall against Lala Kent’s tantrum in season 7 really sealed the deal for me. My pageant queen with dreams of being a pediatric occupational therapist. <3
I was absolutely floored to see the rumors swirling that my newly single Vanderpump Rules goddess may have been caught canoodling with dusty Tom Schwartz at Coachella. The anonymous tip on the situation read, “Tom Schwartz and Raquel boldly holding hands and making out. Seems like [Peter Madrigal] was definitely for optics. The comfort level between these two wasn’t a first time hookup. I’m shocked. Didn’t grab a picture but I’m sure someone did…”
Fortunately for everyone, there are still no pics of this mess being shared in the light of day. Further, RealityBlurb is reporting that Tommy Boy denies the whole thing. Schwartz tweeted on April 19th saying, “Guys hate to break it to you but I wasn’t at Coachella.” Thank ya Jesus.
Raquel’s love life post break up from James Kennedy has been at the center of the VPR media circuit. She has been connected to Shah’s of Sunset’s Nema Vand in recent weeks. Those rumors were quickly squashed, though, when fans learned about Raquel going on a first date with Peter.
Lisa Vanderpump must have finally given Peter a night off. He’s sure earned it. This man is probably the only character from VPR actually working. That is, besides LVP’s own son who I assume is still bussing tables almost a decade later. When is Max Todd getting his nepotistic payoff? Really asking. Can this guy at least get a free designer “rescue” animal for his service?
Okay back to Peter and Raquel. It seems there could very well be love in the air. Raquel explained, “It was one friendly date, but no one else has asked me out on a date. So, this is literally the first person who asked me out on a date, and I said, ‘Why not? It’s good practice after five years. It is scary, but it [is] also invigorating.”
TELL US – DO YOU THINK RAQUEL SHOULD TRY DATING OUTSIDE THE BRAVO-SPHERE? WHICH BRAVO-LEB DO YOU THINK WOULD BE A GOOD FIT FOR OUR GIRL?

After the world’s worst housewarming party, it’ll be interesting to see how the group recovers. Shawndreca Robinson undoubtedly feels disrespected about not being allowed in. However, Safari made it clear THAT woman was never entering her man Patrick Dallas’ abode. Not happening.
Am I the only one who doesn’t think the food at OLG looks that great? No shade, but I can’t believe there’s so much drama at a place like this. They should be looking into the food as the reason the restaurant is struggling.
Shawndreca meets with Dom’unique Variety the day after the party. Dreca and June say they didn’t show up at the party to be petty. In their defense, it looked like they were invited.
June’s irritated about Dom staying at the party. It feels like a betrayal on some level. However, Dom says it’s more complicated than that. Her bosses were at the party, so she wasn’t going to dip. She says June’s wrong for saying that.
Dreca also feels disrespected by Torin Mitchell. June wants to have a conversation with him about it as well. June’s trying to be a tough guy, but he’s taking this way too seriously. It’s shady of Patrick not to let them in, but dude chill. He needs to get off these people’s necks and calm down a bit. Why are you making a big deal and confronting everyone?
I can see him being mad at Patrick, but there’s no reason really to come at Dom and Torin. Direct your energy in the correct place. Just do it.
Todd Tucker says he’s used to a version of Patrick that’s crazy and wild. The one banging gongs and having zen spaces is not the same dude. He’s already let the relationship with Safari change him in many ways. His identity is whatever she allows it to be.
I laughed so hard at Patrick making June pay the full $10 to park at OLG. It’s weird to me that it costs so much to park at the restaurant. What’s the point?
June wants there to be an understanding between Patrick and Dreca. Todd’s trying to play matchmaker and get everyone to get acquainted with each other. This might get messy.
Dreca ditches her hosting duties to come outside for her surprise Mercedes from June. Actual goals. I want to stop work in the middle of the day to be gifted a fancy car. Literally, everyone that works at OLG was in the parking lot checking Dreca out while she gets this gift.
June confronts Torin in the parking lot about what went down. He wants someone to pay for what went down. He needs to take it up with PATRICK. Torin’s irritated because Dreca hasn’t spoken to him about it at all. They are friends. He and June are not. That’s the conversation that needs to take place first.
Brian Redmond has consistently been one of the funniest people on this show. Every week he’s up to some sort of hilarious antics. Having a funeral for his wig is EVERYTHING. The wig’s name was Leslie, and she was tough to look at. Her service is over, and that’s not a bad thing. This is for sure for the best. I forget Brian doesn’t have much hair until he takes it off.
Everyone’s surprised when Dreca tells them that Todd and Kandi Burruss want to have lunch with her, June, Patrick, and Safari. Brian thinks Dreca’s beef should be with Dom because she left her in the lurch. However, Torin’s super annoyed because Dreca doesn’t care about his feelings.
Dreca felt pressured about coming by Torin. Torin was openly advocating to let her into this party. Her anger is so misdirected because he didn’t do anything wrong.
Later on, the awkward moment commences when Kandi forces Safari and Dreca to interact. Neither woman wants to mess with the other one.
Out of everyone in this situation, Safari feels like the problem to me. She’s the one bringing the negative energy to the group. Kandi feels like it was a success, but I disagree. I think the only thing it highlighted was Safari’s attitude problem.
DonJuan Clark wants to know what’s going on with Brandon Black and Dom. Which one of them wants to leave OLG? Someone has to move to an alternate location if they’re able to make this relationship work.
He was surprised to see how close they were at the housewarming. It’s an elephant in the room. He asks if they’re in a relationship, but Dom and Brandon are playing coy. However, ultimately she admits they’re officially in a relationship. Someone has to go because this is so unprofessional.
Todd’s doing his best to be a father figure for Patrick. He tells Patrick how he knew Kandi was the one for him. One night Kandi asked Todd to pray with her, and that was it.
Patrick’s considering popping the question to Safari which seems like a big mistake. Todd’s asking why he thinks she’s the one, and he looks perplexed. I feel the same. Bro, I don’t know what Patrick’s thinking.
Kandi thinks Safari’s cool, but she wants to sit down with her and get a better gauging. They both think the triple date went well, so maybe the drama with Dreca is over.
There’s a lot of chatter about whether or not Patrick was a trick. That’s a bold accusation to throw out there. Why’s Safari saying something like that? Safari says it was the persona Patrick was giving off across his social media. The version of Patrick she’s telling us about isn’t the timid guy we’re seeing throughout this season.
Kandi’s pleasantly surprised to learn that Safari feels like Patrick’s the one. The housewarming was a pivotal turning point for their relationship because he showed how much he respected her. Okay, maybe I was wrong. Safari might not be as bad or iffy as I thought before.
Dom’s voice is ugh. I’m going to try and get over it for the sake of covering this show, but tough. Most of the group is getting together, and you can tell something’s going to pop off.
Rashard Roles is spot on by calling the housewarming the most boring thing of all time. Rashard calls out Dom for not being a good friend to Dreca and says he shouldn’t be in her business. Everyone escalates this, and the two of them can’t stop telling at each other.
Dom says she’s going to give the problem that Rashard’s looking for. He wants to walk away and not engage, but she’s not listening. All she wants to do is fight with him because she’s looking for drama.
Brian says Dom’s wrong. Everyone’s basically against Dom for how all of this went down. Brian lets Dom know right out the gate that he’s not going to jump in. That’s all it takes for Dom to say goodbye to everyone and walk out of the party. Dreca follows shortly after.
Dreca doesn’t want to talk to Brian or Torin or really anyone. She’s forever doing the most, but she’s one of the clear stars of the show. The only problem is, she knows it.
Patrick stops by to ask Kandi and the OLG if they approve of him wanting to marry Safari. Luckily, everyone likes Safari, so he has their blessing. This is a big deal and a major step for Patrick, but he seems set on doing it.
TELL US – SHOULD PATRICK MARRY SAFARI? TEAM DOM OR TEAM RASHARD? SHOULD DOM AND BRANDON BREAK UP? ARE YOU ENJOYING THIS SEASON OF KANDI AND THE GANG?

The Season 5 premiere of Selling Sunset is here at last. Am I the only one excited? Season 4 of the show was…fine. But I think this season is what we have all been waiting for. It’s time to watch Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim do their thing. And the real fireworks between Heather El Moussa and Christine Quinn were just getting started! (At least I hope).
During Season four of Selling Sunset fans were treated to meeting some new agents in the Oppenheim office. Emma Hernan joined the realty group as a fill in for Christine while she had her beautiful new baby. It was a strange situation, since Christine was adamant she would not be out of the office long after having her son. As production luck would have it, Emma also happens to be the ex-girlfriend of Christine’s ex-boyfriend. Imagine that!
Emma and Christine clashed over the backstory of how they came to meet. Emma felt a formal office dinner would be the perfect time to tell each of her new coworkers about the situation. At the dinner table Emma told everyone how, once upon a time, she was leaving the gym with her boyfriend Peter Connell. All of a sudden, Christine appeared. Emma claims that Christine “banged on the windows” and was “screaming” like a wild person.
Emma conveniently left out the part of the story where she was the other woman and Peter was also in a committed relationship with Christine at the time. A star is born. To make things even more confusing, Peter actually works at the Oppenheim Group himself. Why are we not being shown his side of things??
According to She Knows, Emma’s fascinating dating life doesn’t start and stop with Christine’s roster. Apparently Emma has spent some time on the private dating app, Raya. Emma is claiming that, not only did Ben Affleck swipe on her profile, but that he tried to hit on her “several times.”
Ben, who is now happily engaged to Jennifer Lopez, denies even using the Raya app in the last several years. Is there a catfish on the loose? Or does Emma just have the most robust imagination when it comes to swapping relationship and dating stories?
