Who doesn’t love a crossover?!
Bachelor Nation’s Blake Moynes was recently spotted with Love Is Blind star Natalie Lee in the Caribbean. Fans were surprised to see the pair sharing multiple photos together from the trip. I know I was surprised considering how much love Blake has had for Bachelorette Women. Clare Crawley, Tayshia Adams, and Katie Thurston to be exact. Blake and Katie ended up engaged, but that was very short-lived. Natalie also just went through a broken engagement with Love Is Blind co-star Shayne Jansen.
It all started when Natalie posted a selfie on her Instagram Stories posted up with Blake, the caption read, “the crossover nobody asked for”. The two had a beautiful beach glow and were smiling ear to ear. Natalie hasn’t posted anything since then regarding Blake, but Blake has kept the content flowing.
Blake shared a clip of him and Natalie on a “breakfast date” where they laughed and discussed an inside joke. The inside joke is that Natalie says she would be a “turtle barnacle in another life.” For now, we don’t really know what it means but Blake says Natalie may one day share with us the meaning behind the joke.
If you’re confused as to why turtles are a topic of conservation between the stars, it helps to know that Blake has a career in wildlife conservation. He and Natalie were actually in Nevis staying at the Four Seasons in order to work with the Sea Turtle Conservatory. Blake shared an adorable picture of the two with a hawksbill sea turtle that they were planting a satellite on for research reasons. Blake wrote that the research is “crucial for sea turtles in the hopes to learn & understand and better manage/protect.”
Fans are buzzing about the possible couple, and an inside source revealed to E! News that this trip was the first time Blake and Natalie had met. “He thinks she’s absolutely hilarious and an all-around great person,” the insider shared. “They’re having a blast.” The source says that Blake has been bringing celebrities on his conservation trips in order “to help raise awareness for the different causes that are very dear to his heart.” The source lastly shared, “He has tried to take advantage of the platform he’s been given to make a difference for endangered species and doing whatever he can to help.”

Imagine if your most vulnerable years were captured on camera for one of the most popular reality TV shows of the 2000’s. You manage to sidestep any major disasters and you move on to a notable career in the medium, but the debut performance hasn’t aged well.
Such is the reality of Kristin Cavallari. She starred as Lauren Conrad’s nemesis on Laguna Beach, then took over on The Hills when LC left. Kristin’s presence on camera then got her a spinoff with her ex-husband Jay Cutler in 2018, before Very Cavallari was cancelled after three seasons.
So one has to think that Kristin knows the tricks of the trade and exactly how much to present on camera. But that wouldn’t have been the case while filming Laguna Beach, and Kristin has a unique opportunity to revisit those days alongside her co-star and former boyfriend Stephen Colletti.
Back to the Beach With Kristin and Stephen is a podcast that has the two stars rewatch Laguna Beach to offer commentary and feedback on what really went down behind the scenes. Entertainment Tonight reported on what was said during the latest episode.
To her credit, Kristin took time to reflect on the optics of her privileged upbringing. After viewing a particular episode, during which her car broke down and she struggled to buy groceries, Kristin explained, “I will say, so not to get too deep, but in high school, I lived with my dad and my stepmom. My stepmom was 20 years younger than my dad. She was actually closer to my age than she was with my dad. She never cooked. My dad was, I wouldn’t say absent, but he wasn’t involved in my life very much. And it’s very clear to see from this episode and actually the next episode that my dad didn’t teach me some basic things that I probably needed to know. Like how to put oil in my car, which we will get to in the next episode. Or how to order food at the grocery store.”
Kristin went so far as to say she would have been, “cancelled” if Laguna Beach aired in 2022 and gave herself an “F” for the episode. Cancel culture holds public figures accountable for their behavior on social media and in entertainment. Offenses can cost a person their job, reputation, and acceptance in society.
“I’m gonna give myself an F,” she explained. “I said some dumb stuff. I looked like a little brat. I’d say this was not my best episode for sure.”
But Kristin acknowledged that editing played a role in how she was portrayed. It was a rookie mistake, that she “learned very quickly filming season one.”
“I will say I went into season two with a much different mindset because, you know, you only know so much while you’re filming the season, what’s going to happen, how it’s going to be edited,” she added.
Kristin said, “And then when you see it, you’re like, ‘Wow, OK. This is what they do.’ And as we were talking about earlier, you know, if you are trying to have a conversation, cause I remember sometimes going in the bathroom and talking to your friend about whatever.”
Kristin elaborated “Because you think, ‘I’m off camera,’ but they’re listening the entire time and they’re still recording your audio, which then they can put in anywhere. So you learn very quickly, like, ‘Oh, OK, as long as I have a microphone on, I am not safe.'”
So how do Kristin’s comments stack up against today’s cancel culture? It doesn’t seem anything truly offensive was said, however the teen did live a highly privileged lifestyle and seemed unaware of anything outside the Orange County bubble.
Kristin admitted that the “hardest part about watching the show is hearing how I f**king talked.”
Well, there’s no going back but a girl can dream. Kristin concluded with her thoughts on what she would have done differently. “Honestly, it’s more of a general thing. I think throughout the entire show I wish I would just explain myself a little bit more instead of just being so sure,” she said. “And just being like, ‘Oh, you know, whatever, you know, screw her.’ It’s like just put some thought behind it.”

For all the Dorinda Medley stans, it’s time to face facts. Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Ex-Wives Club did’t help her case for a potential comeback at all. I’m not sure if Dorinda has fully leaned into the villain role or what. Suddenly, all the viewers who were begging for her to come back have been pretty quiet.
But Dorinda isn’t the only former Real Housewives of New York star who took major heat after appearing on RHUGT. Jill Zarin was called thirsty but nearly every one of her RHUGT castmates. She defended herself as “hungry” instead of thirsty in a very rehearsed interview. But outing Tamra Judge’s great return to Real Housewives of Orange County before she got to announce it herself? Like Tamra said, “Jill is the thirstiest b—h I have ever met.” I need a gif of that immediately, thanks.
Now Dorinda and Jill are at odds with each other, which is a surprise to, well, no-one. As reported by Page Six, Dorinda unloaded after Jill made some comments about her drinking. On a recent SiriusXM show, Dorinda was asked by a caller what she thought about Jill’s remarks. She responded, “I think she’s very salacious.” And despite telling Jill on RHUGT that they go way back and were there for each other after the deaths of their spouses, Dorinda referred to Jill as an “acquaintance.” An obvious dig.
Dorinda continued, “She hasn’t been on in a long time and I think, you know, this is new for her and this is her moment. Even Brandi [Glanville] said on Watch What Happens Live the other night, she’s thirsty. Tamra said it. She’s thirsty. So go for it. That’s what I say. Go for it.”
During her own appearance on WWHL, Jill insinuated to host Andy Cohen that Dorinda had a drinking problem. Jill said on the show, “Quite honestly, we’ll never really address it until the whole drinking and all that thing has to get resolved. There’s a lot of stuff there, but I’m not a doctor, I’m not a therapist, I’m not even a close enough friend to be able to really get to that with Dorinda, but someone needs to get there with her. I mean, I don’t want anything to happen to her, and I’m worried.”
When Dorinda’s caller went on to ask about Jill’s comments being “hurtful,” Dorinda shrugged it off. “Things are only hurtful in life when you care,” she maintained. The former Housewife then added, “My mother always says something: ‘consider the source.’ So I think people should say whatever they want. Just because you say it doesn’t mean it’s true. And how about this? Who cares?”
