Love is no longer in the air for Deepti Vempati and Kyle Abrams. Kyle announced that he and Deepti have called it quits just days after the pair confirmed their relationship during Love Is Blind's...
There's no denying that Queen Elizabeth II's legacy lives on. The British monarch, who died Sept. 8, was honored with a funeral service Sept. 19 that captured the world's attention. Royal family...Only the most nimble social media users would have noticed Danielle Olivera’s missing “like” from Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard’s engagement announcement. How could she!?
Of course, the proposal was filmed by Bravo cameras for all to see in the upcoming season of Summer House. “I was so surprised, I’m still in shock!” Lindsay said at the time. Carl added, “It was quite the whirlwind throwing off Lindsay. She’s a tough one to catch off guard!”
During the proposal, Carl convinced Lindsay that they were headed to a group bonfire. Instead, he took her to an intimate picnic. “I got there and was like, ‘Umm, I’m starting to think we’re not having a bonfire,” Lindsay shared. Carl eventually proposed at the end of a boardwalk, to which Lindsay answered, “A thousand times, yes!”
Carl even managed to keep the proposal a secret from his Summer House castmates. “They were all surprised too because the entire house didn’t know it was happening,” he said. Most of the cast managed to give out a like or a comment on social media, though. Some followers noticed Lindsay’s Summer House bestie, Danielle, was missing from the onslaught of support.
“Social media is a strange animal. I think that I was just exhausted from summer. I’m juggling so many things. I am obviously very, very happy for them,” Danielle told Us Weekly. Danielle added that she was also surprised to hear the happy news. “I did not see it coming. But who could not love love?” she asked.
“Looking back, it is surprising in that sense. They just moved into a gorgeous apartment together, so I thought they might just do that for a little bit,” Danielle continued. “But everyone is on a different timeframe and it is what it is.”
Carl announced in June that he and Lindsay would be moving in together, though they had already been staying in the same building. At that time he shared his intentions were “100 percent” set on marrying Lindsay. “I’m in awe of her as a person and getting more romantic has been just an amazing thing,” he said.
For her part, Danielle admits that her relationship with Robert Sieber is fine just as it is. “I am way too focused on my career and so is Robert. It’s great for everyone, but I’m kind of loving where we’re at right now and I don’t want to put pressure on anything,” she shared. “I don’t want any expectations. I just think that I would love to just travel more. Maybe look at homes. That’s kind of where my head’s at. I don’t need a ring on it at this point.”

The first season of Love Is Blind was a big success for Netflix. So much so that they already released season 2, filmed season 3 and announced plans for a season 4 and 5. But it all started with a bunch of singles who had to get engaged before they even set eyes on each other. And one memorable pair was Mark Cuevas and Jessica Batten.
Mark and Jessica got engaged on the show after Jessica failed to win over first choice Matt Barnett. And Jessica let everyone know that she was having second thoughts about everything. But she still shocked Mark at the altar when she said “I don’t” and was dragged by fans. But the two have moved on (the show was filmed in 2018 after all) and now Mark has officially sealed the deal!
As reported by Us Weekly, Mark married Aubrey Rainey in Ohio on September 4th in front of 150 guests. Sons Ace and Axton served as ring bearers. Aubrey laughed, “They have a little, I say remote-control car, but it’s like a big car that they sit in that a person can drive for them [because] they’re not old enough to navigate that yet, but they will go down the aisle as the little ring bearers. They have matching suits … to Dad’s.”
Once they were married, the newlyweds shared their first dance with their kids and named cocktails after them too. Said Aubrey,“I wanted them to be a part of it. So, I’m happy that it worked out the way it did. So yeah. It was fun [and] I liked [having a] long engagement.” The couple got engaged in 2020.
When it came to the details, Mark and Aubrey both made sure to honor their family members who passed. A memorial table was set up for Aubrey’s late father and both of their maternal grandmothers. The rest of the decor didn’t have a theme, but Aubrey admitted that she was “specific.” She explained, “I like neutral colors, so our colors are gonna be champagne, black and white. [It’s] very classic modern.”
Mark talked about the moment Aubrey walked down the aisle. He said to her uncle, who officiated the event, “Man, just keep it together, [because] when we get up there, I don’t want all three of us to start bawling our eyes out.” He continued, “With everything that’s happened in our lives the past few years and how we’ve persevered and just stuck together and just seeing her walk down the aisle. I get chills now, but like it’s gonna be, I can’t put into words how it’s gonna be when I actually see her.”
Matt, who is still married to his Love Is Blind partner Amber Pike, served as a groomsman. Said Mark, “Him and Amber, we’ve stayed tight [and] they come to visit us all the time here in Ohio. He’s just been a really good [pal], like, even from when we did that whole experience, like, he’s been like one of my best friends, so we’ve stayed in touch and I’m excited to have him [be] a part of the big day.”
The pair announced their engagement on Instagram, with him writing, “Forever sounds good baby.” Aubrey posted the same pics and gushed, “I never figured out the true meaning of happiness until you. I couldn’t feel more grateful and excited to spend the rest of forever with you!” Son Ace came in April of 2021 and Axton shortly thereafter in February of 2022.
Mark concluded of his Love Is Blind castmates, “I wish anybody on the show the best of luck. I wish them nothing but the best. We have a happy family, so that’s what I wish for everyone.”

Call me a fool, but I am looking forward to Vanderpump Rules Season 10. One of my favorites, Raquel Leviss, is giving during the off-season. She has been linked to no less than THREE bravolebrities since her break up with James Kennedy at the Season 9 reunion taping. Her resume now includes Peter Madrigal, Oliver Saunders, and Tom Schwartz that we know of. An absolutely stunning recovery, if you ask me. It will be a shocker if this Bambi-eyed bitch isn’t seated directly on Lisa Vanderpump’s lap in the opening credits of VPR. (RIP Giggy). She’s earned it.
Whether we buy the PR or not, Lala Kent is assuring fans that Season 10 will live up to the hype. “All I’m going to say is, it’s going to be a phonemical season,” she told RadarOnline adding, “everyone feels the same way – producers, cast members, it’s a lot.” We love to hear it.
Lala was also asked about Raquel’s hook-ups with both Tom and Oliver during her interview. She kept it professional and replied, “You know, we are all just on this journey in life, and some journeys I’ll participate in, and some I will not.” What in the Dr. Suess is she talking about? I’m taking that as confirmation regardless.
Lala did say that she was “grossed out” over the Schwartz and Raquel rumors that have leaked from Scheana Shay and Brock Davies’ wedding before adding, “Right now, my journey is just being a good mom and being present at this event tonight – that’s where I’m at.” Okay then stay to the left.
Following Scheana’s filmed wedding to Broke Brock, rumors started swirling about Tom and Raquel for a second time since Tom’s divorce. These two were previously rumored to have linked up in the Spring during Coachella. Though Tom adamantly denies anything happening at the music festival, he hasn’t been shy to share his admiration for Raquel publicly. Said Tom, “She was always cool. I just never really took [the] time to invest in her. That’s a horrible way to phrase it. I never really gave her a chance. She has so much depth and character. I think I wrote her off.”
Following the news that Tom and Raquel hooked up during the VPR wedding, Katie Maloney has reportedly put the blame on Scheana. One source reported Katie is “very annoyed at the situation” adding, “she’s blaming Scheana.” I can’t wait to see how this turns out.

What a shame. They didn’t even give us a vow renewal! David Beador and his most recent wife, Lesley Beador went to court last Thursday to file for divorce. The pair had only been together for 23 short months of marriage. No doubt that unnecessary naked photoshoot will live on forever, though.
According to documents obtained by TMZ, David is citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split. And since ending a marriage is old hat for him at this point, he wasted no time and listed the date of separation (Sept 15th) as the same day he filed for divorce.
Before meeting Lesley, David was married to our very own Shannon Beador for nearly two decades. He haunted the scenes of Real Housewives of Orange County for several years, beginning in Season 9. My personal favorite? When he yelled at Vicki Gunvalson after Shannon pleaded, ”David! David! These people are calling me DUMB! DO SOMETHING!” at the infmaous 70’s party.
David didn’t miss an opportunity to dunk on Vick and call her the “lowest of low” in defense of his wife he had cheated on for years. A true hero. The image of those bug eyes under than curly blonde wig is still sending me.
Best of luck to David as he tries to come back from being such a consistent embarrassment.

Part 2 of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion was strangely light hearted. While the women continued spill their issue with one another, they laughed A LOT. Which was refreshing, much like the vibe of the whole season. But let’s be honest – the 3 part reunions are rarely necessary. This is a perfect example. Regardless, there were some moments that stuck out so here are my 5 takeaways.
Despite the Shade Assassin and the Fashionista coming together last season, Marlo Hampton’s first season holding a peach brought chaos to her relationship with Kenya Moore. Host Andy Cohen points out that Kenya’s issue with Marlo started when Marlo made gross comments about her mother not wanting her. While Kenya has said some horrible things too, she’s unwilling to get past that comment and Andy wonders why Marlo isn’t connecting those dots.
Additionally, viewers questions seemed to indicate that they were Team Kenya all the way. I have been a Kenya apologist for many years now, but I was surprised by this, given how Marlo received such a warm reception from fans. She might have fallen short in her efforts as a housewife, but her story was compelling. And she didn’t hold back on being vulnerable this season.
Unfortunately for her, Kenya labeled her sharing “disingenuous.” She noted that Marlo is willing to throw her family under the bus when it comes to their past but refuses to share her own. Kenya then calls her out for her real name being LaToya Hutchinson. And demands to see her CarFax and birth certificate. Producers are on it with the receipts and show Marlo’s birth certificate clearly stating her name as Marlo Patrice Hampton.
Marlo Patrice Hampton then ends the segment by calling Kenya a “lying b–ch.” Wondering if that will end up on Kenya’s CarFax.
The RHOA producers worked overtime this season to make sure the women were held accountable for what they said. Shady? Yes. Do we need more of this on EVERY DAMN FRANCHISE? Absolutely yes. I love it when a housewife gets called out for a lie and as viewers, we deserve the truth!
So producers showed us an extended montage of Drew Sidora and Tampa Ralph Pittman’s receipts and it wasn’t pretty. My favorite was when Drew told us in a confessional that Ralph played college football. Only to get him on the phone and admit that he warmed the bench. Drew tries to explain it away that Ralph was “redshirted,” which is a common college football term. Now, I may be a diehard Real Housewives fan, but I am multifaceted and know my college football.
Redshirting is when a player, typically one who is coming straight out of high school, doesn’t play for a season. The reasoning is so that they can work to increase their size, learn the playbooks, and join the team when they have matured as an athlete. It also extends their eligibility to play in college. But redshirting is one season and Drew never bothered to clarify what happened to the rest of his college career. Typical Drew – always needing a google search.
Just like when she tried to explain the whole gaslighting thing. She claims that she knew what it meant but didn’t think it applied to how Ralph treated her. Role the footage of Tampa Ralph gaslighting the hell out of her! Andy then points out how the couple got positively roasted for all this mess. Drew shrugs it off, saying that Mr. Tampa was upset, but they know who they are and are staying the course. Which I assume means Drew will continue to allow Ralph to gaslight her on national television.
Nothing gave me more joy this season than watching Drew get dunked on for carrying about doggie bones to throw at people. Reminder: she doesn’t have a dog so she had to take her ass to Petco, all for some shade to fall flat anyway. Or maybe she got her assistant Anthony to do it. More on him in a moment. “Friend of,” if we can even call her that, Fatum Alford made it her mission to come for Drew.
Fatum made sure to let the table of women know that Anthony The Assistant Who Never Was said Tampa Ralph was gay. That earned her a doggie bone. But Anthony, who was the source of all this drama between Drew and Sheree Whitfield, didn’t get a bone. At least not one that we saw. And he is the one who deserved it the most, considering he told Drew that Sheree was She by She Don’t Pay.
Sheree decides to provide her own receipts in the form of FaceTimeing Anthony to get the real story. Anthony tells everyone that he was not Sheree’s assistant and she doesn’t owe him money. Which clearly means he’s on Sheree’s payroll as we speak. Because why would he say that when he said the opposite on camera? At this point, Anthony doesn’t need a Milkbone, he needs a gallon of water to quench that thirst.
She might be a gold medalist but Sanya Richards-Ross admitted that being a housewife is harder than being a super fast runner. Running comes naturally, but housewifery does not. While I found Sanya to be somewhat of a clout-chaser, I’m always willing to give a housewife a second season. It’s so hard to get to know them and most of them come in either too hot or too cold (looking at you, Dr. Jen Armstrong). But Sanya came in HOT.
After Sheree shadily told Sanya she has to “handle” Kenya, Sanya tried her best to do just that. Kenya refused to give her the time of day, which is so Kenya. But I want to reiterate – Sanya tried. And coming for Kenya is no easy feat. Did she succeed? No. But I’m giving her a gold medal for tying.
Aside from Kenya, Sanya faced the reality of dealing with Drew’s misguided advice on marriage. Which would be like getting advice from Sheree on how to release a fashion line in a timely manner. After Sanya shared that she wasn’t ready to have another child, Drew basically told her it’s her duty to do that for her husband. Say what now? Drew might be stuck in a marriage filled with outdated beliefs, but the rest of us are living in 2022. Which Andy made sure to note.
But if Drew is anything, she is staunch in her terrible beliefs. And she smugly explained that if you don’t give your husband a baby, someone else will. WHAT ON EARTH? I’m going to need Drew to drop the terrible marriage advice and focus on who is giving her husband a rub down.
Regardless, Sanya was happy to admit that she is now on the same page as husband Aaron Ross. And while there is no timeline, they might be adding a 10th person to their household in the near future. There goes her trophy room!
Love her or hate her, Kenya came out on top this season. Not only did she deliver with her reads, AS PER USUAL, but she also brought a level of unbothered-ness that we don’t normally see from her. Like hanging up on Sanya when she didn’t feel like dealing with her and refusing to engage with Marlo on their trip to the mountains.
It’s clear that Kenya’s time on Dancing With The Stars gave her the positive energy that’s been missing from her life for awhile. Castmate Kandi Burruss pointed out that Kenya brought that energy into the season and it was nice to see. Kenya got emotional talking about what DWTS meant to her. She grew up dancing and always performed for her grandmother, who raised her. Now that her grandmother is gone, Kenya felt like she was dancing out there for her.
Unfortunately, the ex-husband who I refuse to name continues to be a thorn in her side. Kenya is not officially divorced and are are waiting on a court date. Luckily, Kenya wasn’t thinking about him at all when she successfully bagged a man named John in Jamaica. And she’s been doing group dates with friends, just enjoying herself and not getting into anything serious. So Kenya is busy winning right now and she joked she’s coming for everyone’s man. Ok, but please don’t bother with Sheree’s new boo, Martell Holt. Because everyone but Sheree knows he’s a walking red flag.
Finally, Kenya’s business is thriving thanks to Kenya Moore haircare being carried in CVS across the nation. Even Marlo admits that she uses it and her edges have never looked better. If only these two could work things out – their combined edges would be unstoppable.
Next week, RHOA finally concludes with part 3 and the husbands are invited. Which is always my least favorite part of a reunion because I literally do not care what they have to say. But we are getting them anyway and I’m hoping Andy asks Ralph to define what a redshirt is.

Back again with what I’m watching this week! Football season is officially under way and I’ve already heard enough about fantasy football to last a lifetime. Good thing I haven’t gotten tired of Real Housewives, even if some franchises (you know which ones) are often infuriating to watch. So let’s talk about it.
The second part of the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion didn’t really promise much when it was teased. There was some fighting between Marlo Hampton and Kenya Moore, which we have been patiently waiting for. Will Kenya have any more gif-worthy one-liners? Will Marlo explain if she loves or hates Kenya? Because half the time, she’s complimenting her and the other half, she’s cutting her down. I know that this is RHOA. But Marlo has given me whiplash on where she stands with Kenya. I’m also really looking forward to seeing Sanya Richards-Ross tell Drew Sidora to stop flipping her hair in her face.
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
Well, the hate watch continues. This week’s episode of Real Girlfriends In Paris will be number 4 and I’m still not sure what angle is. Is it about dating in Paris? Friends in Paris? Not being able to get a visa in Paris? Regardless, I am really trying to give this show a fair chance. But so far, watching the girls brunch and get ready for speed dating is an old hat. We’ve seen it before, so please, give me some fresh content! Bravo didn’t go all the way to Paris for us to watch Anya Firestone explain to us that her fancy French lifestyle is really smoke in mirrors. Or did they? They could have stayed in Salt Lake City for that.
Watch on Bravo at 9 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
Remember when I said some franchises are infuriating to watch? Enter Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I cannot take one more episode of these goofs defending Erika Jayne. But apparently, they have now pivoted to Kathy Hilton, which was teased via Lisa Rinna’s dramatic texts at the end of the episode. So what did Kathy do? Clearly she fought with sister Kyle Richards. Lisa’s text revealed that she was “speechless” about the “hatred” that Kathy displayed towards Kyle. But after watching Kyle this season, are we sure she doesn’t deserve it?
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
Sometimes often find myself skipping Watch What Happens Live due to lack of interest. I can only watch celeb d-listers provide bad takes and do so many shotskis. But Dorit Kemsley and Garcelle Beauvais are on the roster to discuss what will likely be the most explosive episode of the RHOBH season. At least it better for the way they have been hyping it up. I could do without Dorit’s deer in headlights commentary but I’m counting on Queen Garcelle to bring us the cold hard truths that we deserve.
Watch on Bravo at 10 PM ET.
This 3 part Netflix docuseries debuted it July but the flailing streaming service only just now suggested it to me in my queue. They must really want to keep my business. Well, keep my business they shall because after one episode, I’m hooked. The series takes a deep dive into the Hunter Moore internet scandal. For those of you who don’t know the name (lucky you!), he created the website Is Anyone Up? in 2010. It quickly became a cesspool of revenge porn and hacked photos of unsuspecting young women. Instead of being lampooned, Hunter was propped up as a toxic masculinity hero. But Hunter underestimated his victims. They came for him and within two years, the site was shut down and Hunter…well, you’ll find out where he ended up. I’ll give you a hint: where he belongs!

Bravo has been giving in recent weeks, but sometimes we need to branch out and explore the reality landscape surrounding us. This week I have plans to watch some Housewives adjacent content, but I am also looking forward to resurrecting some reality goodness of yesteryear. Join me for what I’m watching this week.
Are there any Sister Wives loyalists out there? I was obsessed with this show back in the day, and after 17 seasons, these wives still hit. Not literally, of course. After years of Meri Brown posturing to leave the family, having an affair with a woman, and divorcing Kody Brown (if only on paper), I’m not sure anyone saw the Christine Brown exit coming. Yes you read that correctly. The Season 17 premiere last week dropped a bomb that Christine, Kody’s plural marriage loving third wife, is planning to leave the fambly. I will be tuned in and tuned up as this season continues.
Watch on TLC at 10 PM ET.
Dancing With The Stars is set to premiere its 31st Season this Monday. I’ve never really gotten into dancing competition shows. That is, until last year when my queen Kenya Moore took the stage and left no crumbs. How could I resist watching Teresa Giudice putter around to a beat in front of a live audience this time around? It’s sure to be…something. And I am sure to be watching wide eyed.
Watch on Disney+ at 8 PM ET.
Old faithful. I’m sorry to include this one every week, but can you blame me? These final episodes are what we have all been waiting for. Last week Kathy Hilton gave us a mere taste of what is to come as we round out the cast trip in Aspen. Socialites in camo print don’t play. Or so I’m learning. After Lisa Rinna ordered a single swig of Kendall Jenner’s tequila at a fully lit bar, I thought we were off to the races. Alas, Kath took a hit of copium and those of us already stoned on the couch were dosed with a “To Be Continued…” Buckle in, people.
Watch on Bravo at 8 PM ET. The episode is also available to stream on Peacock the next day.
This one is in honor of Kendall Jenner, since I love a theme. Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons is a documentary following Les Wexner’s famous brand, Victoria’s Secret. Spoiler alert, if you didn’t already hear through the grapevine, Victoria’s secret is an old white billionaire named Lex. Turns out Lex and his lingerie legacy are involved with Jeffrey Epstein, politicians, and royalty alike. There’s a lot to unpack here, so I suggest clearing your schedule and giving this one a view.

Welcome to the “Astro Chamber.” This new dating show, released over the summer, uses the contestants’ birth charts to help them find love. The daters mingle, date, and eliminate their prospects based on their own intuition. There’s also a talking orb that hands out free advice based on the zodiac. This show gives me Too Hot To Handle and Are You The One vibes. If you’re needing a trashy yet bingable dating show in your week, this one is for you.
