Into every generation, a cult favorite TV series is born. In March 1997, Buffy the Vampire Slayer premiered, making its debut on The WB as a midseason replacement for the shortlived soap...
Seacrest out! Ryan Seacrest marked his final episode as co-host of Live with Kelly and Ryan on April 14. The 48-year-old spent his last morning hosting the show with co-star Kelly Ripa and special...Just when you thought Anna Wintour had come to her senses. It looks like the Met Gala 2023 will be another star-studded glamorous event. I mean, parties don’t come more coveted than the swanky New York City night to show yourself off. Famous celebs come dressed in their finest couture frocks in an attempt to knock the fashion community off its feet.
Sometimes the fashion community is knocked off its feet but it isn’t from an overabundance of class or stunning gowns. They might roll on the floor in sheer misery after witnessing a direct assault to both their eyeballs and any semblance of fashion expertise.
Former Keeping Up with the Kardashian star Kim Kardashian has been a frequent guest of the event in the past. She also has the honor of wearing one of the most hideous memorable outfits the Met Gala red carpet has ever seen.
Kim and her family don’t usually garner the type of attention Anna wants to put on display in association with her events. But The Kardashians‘ popularity and a marriage to a high-profile entertainer afforded Kim slots on the guest list.
In March, the rumor mill was buzzing that Kim and Kompany were not attending the ball this year. Oddly enough, that seems to have been resolved. Page Six has the details. In 2022 the entire Kardashian family “attended [the Met Gala] en masse.” This year insiders shared Anna was making cuts to the guest list and not one Kardashian received the golden ticket.
Looks like Kris Jenner made a call! Kimmy will now head to New York and do what she does best, stare into a camera. Kim probably won’t be the only member of her family to hit the rug. Chances are very good Kendall Jenner will report for duty. This actually makes sense as Kendall is a very sought-after model in the fashion biz.

Last season Kourtney Kardashian attended with Travis Barker and they basically showed as much of their tongues as possible for the photo ops. Honestly, no one needed to see that but fortunately the couple has managed to control their desires lately. Khloé Kardashian also went for the first time last year. I guess her first will be her last because now she’s sitting at home still pining over Tristan Thompson.
After Kim’s initial 2013 debut, she’s been a regular at the Gala. In 2019 she went with a “wet” look created by legendary designer Thierry Mugler. In 2021 she showed up looking like, I don’t know, a Ninja in a face-covering bodysuit by Balenciaga. It really was the perfect piece to wear if you wanted to rob a boutique in the middle of the night but you’d already taken off your thieving make-up. But the stuff totally hit the fan when Kim messed with Marilyn Monroe’s iconic “Happy Birthday” dress last year.
The Met Gala will take place on May 1, 2023, and the theme is, “Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.” No word on whether or not PK Kemsley will recreate his historic Karl Lagerfeld impersonation and attend on behalf of Karl’s ghost. At this time, we don’t know what Kim will be wearing, but it will probably include a big screw-you in Anna’s general direction.

Dim the lights, it's time for Ryan Seacrest's new chapter. On April 14, the host appeared alongside Kelly Ripa for his final day on Live With Kelly & Ryan—and he had one special guest in...It’s hard to believe that we’re already nearing the end of Season 3 of Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. The Thailand trip was winding down and somehow, the group of Real Housewives vets made it feel like a month-long vacation rather than just a week. Some of the ladies, like poor Leah McSweeney, were more than ready to go home and never sign up for a Housewives’ show again. Pepsi, the ladies’ Thai concierge, was probably ready for his own vacation.
The latest episode took place after Gizelle Bryant verbally tore up the villa and made Pepsi cry because she couldn’t find “her” bottle of tequila. Thankfully, a trip to the temple and a “tantric” dinner helped the ladies turn a more peaceful leaf (sort of). Here are five of the main takeaways from the most recent RHUGT episode, “Tantric Tantrums.”
The episode kicked off with an exhausted Pepsi who was about ready to kick the ladies out of his villa. Ahead of Marysol Patton’s cockie-making dinner, Pepsi sat the ladies down to tell them that their behavior is unacceptable. “I’m not happy,” Pepsi said, crying. He basically explained his whiplash trying to follow the ladies’ dynamics — they go from screaming at each other one minute to hugging the next.
Leah explained to Pepsi that when she fainted, all she wanted was to hold Pepsi’s hand. It’s a cute sentiment but I’m starting to think that Pepsi was a little more of a host than the head of the resort. He had a lot of emotions invested in the group. Gizelle and Porsha Williams ultimately thought Pepsi just couldn’t handle taking care of a group of bombastic Housewives. “We need a Coke or a Sprite,” Gizelle joked. Girl, you were the one taking shots with the man one second and making him fear for his job the next. No wonder he was such an emotional wreck.
Porsha clearly loved being the veteran star on the RHUGT trip, but by this episode, it started to be too much. It started with Pepsi. I know that viewers aren’t privy to every interaction that went down in the house. However, every time we saw Porsha ask Pepsi for a favor, like going on a KFC run, we never heard her say, “Thank you.” Which just rubs me the wrong way.
Then, Porsha and Leah got into a fight about the Instagram tagging gate. Porsha kept making comments about Leah just wanting an “I was there moment” by beefing with a star like Porsha. It was as much of a reach as it sounds. Porsha just kept telling Leah that despite her not doing anything wrong, she doesn’t like her. It was hard to watch because it actually felt like Leah wanted to have a dialogue with her, but Porsha just kept shutting her down with, “Bye Leah!” Porsha was so obsessed with Leah’s bad attitude affecting the group, but this kind of behavior has a pretty similar effect.

At the same dinner, Heather Gay finally put her big girl pants on and confronted Gizelle. Last week, Gizelle told Heather she didn’t trust her at all and accused her of stealing the tequila, which upset Heather. Heather opted for talking smack behind Gizelle’s back rather than confronting her, but she finally said her peace during the episode. She went as far as to tell Gizelle that she almost flipped the table in her face, so she didn’t leave any part out.
Heather got Gizelle to agree to a reset on their friendship since it started off on the wrong foot. Candiace Bassett praised Heather for finally having her “balls drop” by standing up to Gizelle. Whitney Rose was so happy to see some genuine behavior from her cousin that the two have a beautiful hugging moment. The two snowflakes apologize and proceed to jump into the pool while wearing their expensive microphone packs. All is right with the world.
The following day the group prepared to visit a Buddhist temple on an excursion hosted by Leah. While all of the ladies got ready to go, Leah randomly started to get violently ill. Remember that it was just a day after she fainted in a store, and now she couldn’t walk a few steps without throwing up. She ultimately couldn’t go to the temple, which is just one bummer. The second was that aside from Pepsi and Candiace, the ladies didn’t seem to really care that Leah was sick. Poor Leah just got even more real.
Leah ended up going to the Thai emergency room to try to figure out what was wrong. Again, the ladies didn’t care. Marysol didn’t even remember that Leah wasn’t in attendance at the temple event. Leah can definitely be a stick in the mud, but it was hard to watch an entire group of women act so apathetic about one of their friends who was seriously sick. They should all be glad that the roles weren’t reversed
The final event of the episode was a classic Whitney Rose healing journey. She hosted a tantric dinner that was so sexual it was awkward, which is kind of Whitney’s personality. The ladies also got a pole dancing class from some Thai dancers that provided some good entertainment. While Whitney was dropping into the splits from the pole in a dress, Gizelle was spinning around the pole and screaming like she was on a horrifying carousel ride.
The dinner provided Whitney with an opportunity to talk about Justin Rose losing his job because of her reality TV job. Whitney felt vindicated because she made more money that year in her career than Justin did previously. Good for her, but that doesn’t mean we all want to hear about how Justin is good at using his nose in bed. The entire dinner was a quintessential Whitney cringe fest and I was sort of living for it all.

Fans of Vanderpump Rules are blasting Howie Mandel for “justifying” Tom Sandoval’s cheating on his girlfriend of nearly a decade, Ariana Madix.
In an April 11 interview for the podcast Howie Mandel Does Stuff, the America’s Got Talent judge also caught heat for not doing his homework ahead of time. Apparently, Howie didn’t even know that Ariana and Rachel Raquel Leviss, Sandy’s secret paramour, had been BFFs before #Scandoval became a thing. Page Six spilled all the tea.
As Howie questioned the Schwartz and Sandy’s owner on the podcast, negative comments from Pump Rules fans poured in. “Why is howie justifying this?????” commented one fan. “Omg Howie. Stop,” another added. A VPR fan said, “Omg Howie, you’re embarrassing yourself.”
Many viewers were upset when Howie seemed to jump on the #Scandoval bandwagon in a blatant attempt to attract listeners to his podcast. Especially as he knew nothing about the facts.
“[Bowie] has no idea who [Sandoval] is or anything about the show, shut [up] and let your daughter do the interview,” an angry commenter wrote, suggesting that Howie’s daughter would be better at asking relevant questions. ”You should not be doing this interview! You don’t know anything Howie!” added another irritated fan.
Possibly the worst fumble of the interview was Howie suggesting that fans should have “empathy and compassion” for Sandoval. That one landed about as well as when Tom Schwartz suggested that everyone should just give Sandy “a hug.”
“You need to be heard,” Howie suggested, “because the narrative is everyone else’s but yours.” The comedian backtracked, “I’m not condoning cheating on a partner…[but] I think some people have to have empathy and compassion. I don’t understand the hatred and the vitriol.”
Really, Howie? Sandy and Ariana were together for over 9 years. They owned a house together. He was sneaking around behind her back and having sex with her best friend. Howie has been married for nearly 40 years and seems to be a devoted husband. How does he think his wife’s friends would feel about him if he were in Sandoval’s shoes? Would he expect them to have “empathy and compassion?” Probably not.
”Ok I’m done. f–k this piece of vile trash. Howie, lost all respect for you for kissing his vile a$$,” another angry listener reacted. Someone else wrote, “Howie you need to wake up to what’s really going on here Tom is a liar.”
Since news of the affair broke in early March, Sandoval and Raquel have both faced overwhelmingly negative fan reactions. Fans of the show are even taking out their anger on the newly opened Schwartz and Sandy’s bar co-owned by Sandoval and his BFF Schwartz. Ariana’s sympathizers even went to performances by Sandy’s band, Tom Sandoval and the Most Extras, to chant pro-Ariana/anti-Tom sentiments.
At the recently filmed Vanderpump Rules Season 10 reunion, Ariana had to be in close proximity to her ex and his new girlfriend (aka Raquoval). However, Ariana is a force of nature and can hold her own, as evidenced by the recent promo released by Bravo. In addition, nearly the entire cast had her back — except, of course, for Sandy’s Ride-or-Die Schwartz. Reportedly, Sandoval “went after everybody,” but received very little support from his castmates.
For her part, Raquel seemed unrepentant about the pain she’d caused her former bestie by sleeping with her live-in boyfriend. “The fact that she had not a single tear, no remorse,” a horrified and furious Scheana Shay said on her Scheananigans with Scheana Shay podcast. “She sat at the reunion and did not shed one tear.”
“I know,” added guest and co-star Lala Kent. “She actually smiled! It was scary. It was like watching the Joker.”
Sandoval told Howie that he and the former beauty queen are on “a break” at the moment, following their 7-month affair. I guess it’s just no fun anymore, now that they don’t have to sneak around behind Ariana’s back.
