Kelly Ripa is getting candid about her first reaction to Ryan Seacrest's departure from Live with Kelly and Ryan. The longtime talk show host recently admitted that when her co-host told her he...As the Scandoval of Vanderpump Rules stars Tom Sandoval and Raquel Leviss continues to unfold, their co-stars are coming forward with whether they had any suspicions about the couple. As E! News reported, some eagle-eyed cast members were on to them sooner than they realized.
VPR star Lala Kent explained that she suspected something was amiss between Sandoval and Raquel as the season was taping. She divulged on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live that she shared her theory there was more to their friendship with Pump Rules cast member Scheana Shay.
“I didn’t have any proof. I talked to Scheana about it,” Lala said. In retrospect, she saw “things that just didn’t add up.” Hindsight really is 20/20. While Lala debated telling Ariana Madix about her suspicions, she never did. She explained, “I have a lot of love for her, but I feel because I never got along with Sandoval, we couldn’t be close because I don’t like your boyfriend.”
When it comes to whether Tom Schwartz knew about the affair, Lala didn’t hold back. “I said the only way you didn’t know was if you actively literally covered your eyes and closed your ears because I knew.” She continued, “You’ll see this season… From experience, these two have crossed a line. They’re f–king each other.” Evidently, Lala’s gut instinct was spot on.
An insider claimed that Schwartz knew about the affair only three weeks before the world found out. While it’s believed Schwartz told Sandoval to be honest with Ariana, many suspect Schwartz knew for longer than that. And that he would have covered for his best friend if the couple’s tryst hadn’t been revealed.
Andy Cohen promised to cover all of our burning Scandoval questions during the reunion. Just taped last week, rumor is the reunion was out of control. When asked about the taping, Lala said, “I’m still recovering. My mind is fried. I completely blacked out. I was enraged.”
When asked how Ariana is coping, Lala explained, “I think she’s thriving. I think she’s realizing that this was the universe intervening and getting her out of something she wasn’t happy in.” Given her recent Lifetime Movie score, new reported sense of empowerment, and upcoming sandwich shop venture, we’re not too worried about her, either.

There's nothing mellow about this. Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux are no strangers to HBO, but their latest limited series White House Plumbers will detail the real-life story behind Watergate...Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 13 is somehow unlike no other while still centering around the same old problems. Namely, Teresa Giudice’s beef with her brother Joe Gorga has reached an all-time high. It culminated in Joe and Melissa Gorga skipping out on Tre’s wedding to Luis Ruelas and simultaneously, severing any relationship that was left. We’re watching the seeds being planted for this blowup during the season, but who knows how it’s all going to end once the reunion comes around.
One RHONJ star who has been outspoken in Season 13 is Dolores Catania. Paterson Dolores shows her face every once in a while, but this time feels different. Dolo is standing up for herself and her new man Paul Connell. She’s speaking her mind and doesn’t care who doesn’t like it, especially if that person is Jennifer Aydin. She’s even having issues with her ex-husband, Frank Catania because he’s uncomfortable with the boundaries Dolo has put in place.

Dolores also knows, maybe better than everyone, the ins, and outs, of Teresa and Joe Gorga’s problems. She’s the one who agreed it was time for a break between the siblings after the most dramatic wedding of the century. In a recent interview on Hollywood Life’s Pay Attention Puh-Lease! podcast, Dolo admitted that going into this RHONJ reunion feels different, and more frightening, than years past. “On a good day, we have anxiety about the reunion,” Dolo said (via Page Six). “Anxiety is one thing, [but] I’m actually afraid.”
Dolo explained that she’s not scared to face Frank, Jennifer, or anyone else she’s made an enemy of this season. Rather, she’s more nervous to watch the Joe and Teresa feud go down. She’s even concerned it could get physical, but hopes that the siblings can find some reconciliation. “All of us on the show — let’s face it — have to cohabitate with each other to an extent,” Dolo said. “You have to move on from things.” She’s not wrong, but both Joe and Tre are way too stubborn to let this feud die that simply.

We’ve made it through four days of the Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Thailand vacation and to say it hasn’t been smooth sailing is an understatement. There is so much tension among a small cast of eight Real Housewives superstars that the drama just flowed naturally. Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cousins Whitney Rose and Heather Gay were particularly chaotic on the trip. The ladies might be only a few days in, but most of them are already over the Bad Weather reign.
The latest episode of RHUGT featured an equal mix of fun and fighting. Aside from the RHOSLC drama, Gizelle Bryant also brought some Real Housewives of Potomac flare to Southeast Asia with her Reasonably Shady game. Here are five of the main takeaways from the latest episode, “Dangerous Games.”
Alexia Echevarria and Marysol Patton may be best friends for life, but they felt a little too close on the RHUGT vacation. They shared a tight room with one bathroom, which couldn’t have been easy during Marysol’s bout of stomach sickness. The close quarters and constant drama slowly caused the Real Housewives of Miami stars to go a little crazy. Alexia in particular made a few head-turning statements worth exploring further. The ladies all get Thai massages, and Alexia claims it’s usual that they get pretty “frisky.” It wasn’t as bad as Porsha Williams saying she wanted her money back because she didn’t get a happy ending. Who let these ladies leave the country?
Alexia’s second questionable moment occurred during Gizelle’s shady game. Gizelle was bothered that Alexia claimed RHOM “paved” the way on Bravo. Alexia then went on to praise the show’s diversity, particularly a cast that often speaks Spanish. All was well until the following sentence tumbled out of her mouth. “We had a transgender that participated. We had a drag queen,” Alexia said. Girl, what? Heather’s look of horror was exactly how I was feeling at that moment. Alexia should try to think before she speaks more often.
The Cockie Queen was feeling a little better, enough to go back to her steady Tito’s diet. However, she was getting tired of sharing a room with her bestie. Marysol and Alexia wouldn’t stop bickering about the dumbest of topics. The only thing they agreed on, oddly, was that Marysol had good-looking feet to sell on OnlyFans. Marysol whipped her bare foot out during a confessional to talk about how many people would pay for her to “rub the soot off [their] papaya” with her toes. OK, barf. Also, Larsa Pippen better watch out because her co-star is coming for her gig.
Porsha and Candiace Dillard Bassett had beef even before RHUGT even started filming. It took four days into the vacation for CandeePants to finally confront Porsha about her taking Monique Samuels’ side during their infamous RHOP fight. Before Candiace even brought up the topic at a group lunch, she prepared her triangle-shaped tissue for the tears that ensued. CandeeGal could barely get her words out while trying to catch every tear that fell from her eye. “One thing about Candiace — there will be no tear left behind,” Porsha joked in a confessional.
The issue came down to Porsha claiming on Bravo Chat Room that Candiace was suing Monique to pay for her house. Both claims were denied by CandeePants, but Porsha ended up doubling down. All Candiace was looking for was an apology. It ended up creating more problems for CandeePants and Gizelle, who weren’t on the best of terms to begin with. Gizelle was mad because she defended Candiace against Porsha on Chat Room, but it wasn’t good enough for her co-star. The feud went unresolved. The best part about the fight was when Marysol called Chat Room a fluff show instead of real investigative journalism, and Gizelle and Porsha couldn’t help but feel the subtle read.
Heather and Whitney were on horrible terms after their fight on the yacht, but Heather went into the next day ready to sweep it under the rug. She was not ready to forgive Whitney for questioning her faith. Whitney, on the other hand, turned to a shady friend for support — Lisa Barlow. She gave Lisa the lowdown about their fight and how Heather made everyone on the trip turn on her. Ultimately, I think both of the RHOSLC cousins are pulling stunts for TV and they’re both responsible for ruining their relationship over it.
During Gizelle’s Mardi Gras dinner, Whitney decided, yet again, to bring up the problems with Heather about them leaving the Mormon church. Leah McSweeney and Candiace couldn’t lie down fast enough, as everyone was sick of hearing them argue. “Four days of listening to these girls scream about church,” Candiace said. “Either go or done.” AMEN. Again, the fight went unresolved, yet Bad Weather kept deciding to travel in the same sprinter van despite their daily fights. No one, especially Porsha and Gizelle, understood the dynamic. “OK both of you guys are bad Mormons, alright,” Porsha said in defeat. The RHOSLC ladies were so desperate to leave Utah, yet they brought their same old issues on the international vacation. It probably would’ve been better for one, if not both, of them to stay home.
Gizelle’s Mardi Gras event was all about her, so it was only right she brought the Reasonably Shady game to play with her new friends. Thank the Potomac Gods she didn’t pack Robyn Dixon in her suitcase with those paddles. Some of Gizelle’s questions were awkward, like trying to make shade out of Porsha’s big butt or Marysol’s stomach bug. Others got the people going, like when she shaded Candiace for calling the Bravo Chat Room hosts “bullies” the day before.
Before the dinner, Porsha had an event that had the ladies primed for shady questions. She made the ladies answer tough questions or they had to eat part of a scorpion bug (not the deadly tail, however). Leah ended up biting a bug to avoid picking her ideal Real Housewives of New York Season 13 cast. Alexia wasn’t shy, however, and ranked her three husbands, past and current, in bed. Heather also ate a bug to avoid answering the truth about who gave her a black eye. But I already know we’re all beyond done with talking about that stupid injury any further.
Bad Weather, as a duo, put a damper on the entire episode with their carousel of fighting. However, Whitney in particular was pretty insufferable in the episode, which is a bummer because she wasn’t so bad at the beginning. By now, she just had a weird vendetta to take down Heather that wasn’t a cute look, especially because they are family. During the bug-eating game, Whitney took a bite of the “vermin,” in Marysol’s words, to avoid having to name three lies that Heather told on camera. She claimed it was in the name of her friendship with Heather, which we later learned was a big act.
However, at the end of the episode, Whitney entered the confessional unprovoked to name the lies. She picked the black eye, Heather’s friendship with Lisa, and her cousin’s status with the Mormon church as the lies and is hellbent on “exposing” them. Girl, just relax and enjoy your vacation. This is why the RHOSLC ladies are flopping — they’re always trying to play producer. Heather and Whitney are so hell-bent on creating drama that they are wasting their vacation away. Bravo should’ve sent me instead to skinnydip with Porsha and learn the art of mixing a cockie with Marysol. God, what a dream.
