Trevor Noah is back in business. The comedian has found his next gig just over four months after he said goodbye to The Daily Show last December. Noah will executive produce a U.S. version of the...After all of the mess that’s gone down between Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss, and the rest of the Vanderpump Rules cast, there’s only one thing on most folks’ minds: the reunion. Although we have no premiere date just yet, VPR cast members have been chatting, and from what’s being spilled, this will be one for the books.
As most Bravo watchers know, season reunions are typically two to three parts. But from the massive falling out caused by the affair heard around the world, there’s a chance we could be in store for much more. When Lisa Vanderpump chatted with Extra at the 2023 White House Correspondents Association Dinner, she teased this reunion could be different for her crew of SURvers.
“It’s going to be long. It’s going to be very long,” she said. “I mean, normally, the maximum they do is three. I think they could do three, four weeks of it there’s so much stuff that goes down.” And at this point, I don’t think she’s joking. In early April, after Lala Kent teased the dramatic reunion during her Watch What Happens Live appearance, Lisa tweeted the confirmation we needed—calling it the “most astounding bits of film” she’s seen.
But, in true Lisa fashion, she changed the topic swiftly and gracefully. Can you blame her? Lisa, along with Ariana and Lala, were breaking bread with historical figures like VP Kamala Harris. Who would want to waste that opportunity talking about Sandoval and his cringey band?
“But you know what? It was a very complicated situation,” Lisa continued. “We don’t want to talk about that tonight, but … there was a lot of feelings that needed to be worked out so, yes, you want to see the end of that story.”
Vanderpump Rules continues Wednesdays at 9/8c on Bravo.

There are just a few days to go until Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 hits our screens. Among the returning cast are Kenya Moore and Sheree Whitfield, and it looks as if they’re going into the new episodes with some major beef. Sheree is dating new man Martell Holt, the star of Love & Marriage: Huntsville. Now they’ve made their relationship official, and Kenya has something to say.
RHOA Season 15 gets off to a fiery start. Not only is Kandi Burruss close to “headbutting” Sanya Richards-Ross, but there’s trouble at home for Drew Sidora. Fortunately for Sheree, her love life is on the up. She doesn’t disclose if her sex life has improved with her new man, but says he “definitely exudes big d**k energy.” Unfortunately, not everybody is Martell’s biggest fan.
In the first look preview above, a clip of Kandi calling Martell an “opportunist” is shown. Martell claps back in a conversation with Sheree, saying that the only “opportunist” among the group is Kandi’s husband, Todd Tucker. He’ll probably get along well with Mama Joyce.
This comes just a few days before Sanya’s husband, Aaron Ross’ 40th birthday celebrations. It is there that Kenya lashes out at Martell, as the Real Housewives discuss his dating habits and prior relationships.
“He tried to DM me,” Kenya says of Martell. When he then approaches Kenya, their feud ignites. “You did it to your ex-wife, and you’re gonna do it to Sheree. Once a cheater, always a cheater you f**king piece of s**t,” she explodes. Fighting words, which we are sure to see more of once the season officially gets underway.
Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 15 starts May 7, 2023 at 8/7c on Bravo.

Things could have gotten very awkward for Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson at the Met Gala 2023. The exes ended up in the same room as one another, but looked to exchange pleasantries when their paths crossed. They were all smiles as they engaged in conversation inside the event. Exactly what they spoke about isn’t clear, but Usher was also present and enjoying the chatter.
Kim and Pete dated for nine months, before calling time on their relationship in August 2022. They had made headlines at last year’s Met Gala showcase, as Kim wore an original dress that was once worn by Marilyn Monroe. It was later alleged that Kim damaged the show-stopping gown.
Exactly why Kim and Pete decided to break up was never officially confirmed. Some rumors suggested that their busy and conflicting schedules played a big part in the decision. Thankfully, it looks as if the end of their romance was an amicable one. It’s nice to see two former flames able to hang out in the same room and get along. Fans might be hoping for a rekindling of their relationship, but it appears that ship has sailed.
Kim spoke briefly about her split from Pete in the new trailer for The Kardashians Season 3. After saying she couldn’t remember where things left off, a producer reminds her that she was “still in a relationship” when cameras went down on Season 2. Quite the gut punch. Pete never appeared in the second season of the reality series. Still, it appears that the one remaining headache from Kim’s former love life is ex-husband Kanye West.
You can watch all of that play out when The Kardashians Season 3 debuts on Hulu on May 25, 2023.

Welcome to Below Deck Sailing Yacht episode 4, where it’s day two of Charter Two. Chief Engineer Colin MacRae was coaching First Mate Gary King on how to handle his deckhand Chase Lemacks and his attitude. Chase was questioning everything his boss told him to do, which is not okay with Gary. Or bosses in general.
“I’ve been working on boats for 12 years,” Gary said, “so please just shut up and listen to me.” Somebody’s going to have a come-to-Jesus moment soon, if he doesn’t stop with the backtalk.
Meanwhile, as much as Captain Glenn Shephard wanted to take his sailing yacht out for an actual sail, the wind wasn’t cooperating. He walked out on deck to give the guests the bad news, “Well, it seem like we’re not going to get the winds,” he told them. “I don’t know if we’ll be doing much sailing.” But he did promise they’d get to play with all the water toys in the warm Mediterranean Sea.
“It’s okay, we understand,” the primary charter guest said. Wow. These guests are so much nicer than the first charter guests were.
While the guests were enjoying their breakfast of smoked salmon benedict (yum!), Chief Stew Daisy Kelliher went to check on her junior stews working in the cabins below.
“Getting negative feedback from Glenn the last charter,” Daisy admitted, “honestly, makes me feel like I’m sh***y at my job. It was pain to the core.” Service needed to be impeccable on this trip. So Daisy decided to train the girls “as much as I can, just to make sure that Glenn stays the f*** off my back.”
Sweet Colin was lending a hand in the kitchen, while Chef Ileisha Dell was prepping ingredients for later in the day. “Have you ever cleaned an eel before?” she asked him, handing him a bag containing the sea snake. She was planning to slice it up and make sushi for lunch.
When he peeked into the bag, the eel moved. “It’s still f***ing alive!” he cried.
Ileisha was grossed out (me too!). Having grown up in Australia, she has a fear of snakes and related an absolutely horrifying story about when she was a little girl and a python crawled through her bathroom window. The snake wrapped itself all the way around the tub — while she was in it! Her dad had to chop its head off to kill it. Ugh. I’m never going to Australia. Too many things there want to kill you.
Junior stew Lucy Edmunds and Ileisha watched with revulsion as Colin put the eel “out of its misery” and blithely chopped off its head with a sharp knife. Thank god for Colin. I don’t think Ileisha could have done that by herself. So gross. And the worst part was that it kept wriggling after its head was detached. Ewwwwww!
While the guests got ready for swimming, Daisy radioed that she was going on break for an hour. “Lucy, help Madison [Herrera]. The cabins still need to be done.”
The guests wanted to play with the e-foils, but sadly, someone forgot to charge them after their last use. “This is going to take a while,” Gary sighed.
Some of the guests wanted to visit a nearby beach. Chase volunteered to take them over in the tender, and Gary asked Lucy if she were free to go along and serve drinks, but she said she was busy.
So Gary kind of passive aggressively went to complain to Glenn, “I just think it’s nice when they’re taking drinks on the tender for someone to help him. But I’m sure he can do it by himself.”
Glenn took the bait and went off to question Lucy. “How many of you guys are up right now?”
“Daisy’s asleep,” Lucy said, adding that she didn’t want to bother her while she’s resting. “There’s [only] two of us.”
But Glenn wasn’t afraid to disturb Daisy. “I’ll make the call,” he said. “One of you go can go in the tender.”
So Lucy went off for a boat ride, leaving Mads to clean all the guest cabins by herself. Nice.
Chase has a very high opinion of himself. “Thank god I’m, like, self-motivated,” he bragged. “There’s a certain standard in this industry that these guests are expecting.” Cue the scene of Gary waiting for the water toys to charge that Chase forgot to plug in.
“If I was green and this was my first boat,” Chase bloviated, “and I was lost and need to be taught everything, considering Gary’s leadership style, we would be f***ed.” I can’t wait to watch Gary bring this guy down a peg or two.
When Daisy woke up from her nap, she went to check on the progress in the cabins and found Mads working alone. She had wanted to send Lucy down to get started on laundry, but was annoyed to find that Lucy was off the boat with the guests. “We don’t have time for this sh**,” she muttered as she walked away.
As she went on deck, Daisy spotted Colin and Gary frollicking in the water with the e-foils. “Are you f***ing kidding me?” she said angrily to herself. “Why has Lucy gone in the tender when there’s two boys f***ing around on water sports?” she complained to Ileisha. Tell it to the captain, Daisy. “It’s far too f***ing early in the season to start getting pissed about this sh**.”
“Are you f***ing kidding me?” Daisy asked in an interview. “So the girls need to permanently be with the guests, but the boys can just be f***ing around? I’m f***ing fuming.”
On the return ride from the beach, Chase confided in Lucy that he was hoping for “something to happen” with Mads once the guests leave and the crew can party. Smirking, Chase implied that he “came to play, if you know what I mean.”
Of course, Lucy passed on this information as soon as she returned, telling Mads, “I reckon he fancies you or something.”
“That’s literally not happening,” Mads stated emphatically. “It was one kiss, bro. Relax.”
“It’s not that I’m not interested in Chase,” she continued. “It’s the fact that Chase has no game … there’s a lot of other guys on this yacht. I’m sure I can find other options.” She did, after all, “come for the party.”
“I love samples,” Mads laughed.
At 2pm, the other deck hand Alex Propson, woke up for the day. He was on the late shift the night before, so he got to sleep in. “Good morning, princess!” Mads greeted him.
Following a flirty exchange with Mads (who obviously preferred Alex to boring Chase), Alex admitted in an interview, “Typically I date models with daddy issues, and that has not gone extremely well.” I think he’s ready to try another type. Like a cabin stew, perhaps?
“Mads is kind of new for me,” he added. “She’s not high maintenance, and she doesn’t really give a f***. Maybe it’s time for me to break the mold a little bit.” Isn’t that what I just said?
As the guests were seated at the table, Mads started spooning rice onto their plates. “Thank you, honey,” guest Ashley told her.
“Why do I keep saying ‘honey?'” she asked her friends. “Does that mean I’m getting old?” Yup. I’ve started having the same urge when talking to anyone the same age as my son. We’re both turning into grandmas.
Even though lunch was a little bit late, Daisy assured Ileisha she was fine. “These guests are so lovely,” she said, “I feel like they don’t really care, which I’m grateful for.”
While the guests were enjoying a delicious sushi lunch, Captain Glenn was motoring to their next anchorage. No sailing today, as there wasn’t any wind.
“You’re gonna go down [for a rest] at 3:00,” Gary told Chase.
But Chase had other ideas. “I might just come up and help you set the rope swing later,” he argued, “and then go to sleep.” So you’re making your own schedule now, are you Chase?
But rather than drawing a line with him, Gary answered, “Okay, up to you, yeah. It’s gonna be a long season, though.”
Chase had an answer for that, too. “But we get a day off tomorrow, you know what I mean?”
Gary was frustrated, but let it go. “It doesn’t seem like anything I tell him matters,” he interviewed.
Finally he told Chase, “For f***’s sake, just take your f***ing break. F***ing hell.” That’s right, Gary! You’re the boss. You tell him!
But Chase had to have the last word, “If I get tired and rattled and I’m not taking my breaks, you know what I mean?”
“Then you’re gonna be in sh**, yeah,” Gary said. Just tell him to go take a break, Gary. Nip it in the bud, cause it’s only gonna get worse.
Finally Daisy confronted Gary about her annoyance earlier when she was short a stew, and she spotted Gary and Colin playing with the water toys.
To his credit, Gary immediately told her, “If you need something, just [ask] . . . because I’m happy to help out.” This seemed to placate her.
“I’ve learned by now,” Gary interviewed, “it’s far easier licking Daisy’s arse than trying to disagree with her. So I will keep contained and just say what she wants to hear.”
“Let’s see what happens this season, Daisy, between you and I,” he told her.
“Oh, f*** off!” she joked.
After arguing with Gary about taking a break to rest, Chase was shown napping in the crew mess area. Wouldn’t you be more comfortable in your own bed, Chase?
The rope swing was ready. After Gary showed the guests how to do it, guest Justin Guarini (American Idol Season 1 runner-up) executed a perfect jump into the water. Sadly, the guest following Justin on the swing, Kelly, demonstrated what not to do: a perfect bellyflop. “Kelly ate sh**,” Chase commented. Ouch!
“Are you okay?” they asked her. “No,” she called up to the deck. “I hurt my right boob.” That could be bad if she had implants. Real boobs can take it, though.
Colin popped into the galley as Ileisha was preparing another fabulous dinner. “Need some help?” he offered. “I’ve got a bit of time, if you want.” What a sweetie! But Ileisha’s got things under control, so no help needed at the moment.
While the guests were sipping bourbon at the table, the primary suddenly told her husband, “We never took the clothes off the floor of the bathroom!”
“Oh, good god,” he responded. “That’s absolutely right. I’ll handle that.”
When he ran into Mads in the hallway outside their room, he asked, “You haven’t done that room, have you?”
When she said they already had, he answered, “Oh, my gosh. That was exactly why I was coming down here. It was not intended for you guys to have to come clean up this colossal clutter of a mess.”
They assured him they were to pick up after the guests. “That’s our job. Relax! Go back up there and enjoy the bourbon!” Are these the nicest guests ever? I think they are.
As the happy guests made their way to bed and their last sleep onboard the Parsifal III, Glenn instructed Alex on anchor watch. “There’s hardly any wind at all,” he said, “but keep an eye on it, and you’ll be good.”
At 12:20am the lightning started. By 1:10, the wind was picking up. “Sh**’s about to get weird,” Alex predicted. The waves were starting to swell. Why weren’t the swim platforms put away and the laz closed up? That’s not going to be good when the storm breaks. By 1:20, the wind speed was at 15 knots. Cushions were blowing across the deck and the water in the jacuzzi was slopping over the sides.
By 1:25 the boat was rocking so much, both Glenn and Gary hopped out of their bunks to go check on the situation. Gary didn’t even take the time to dress and arrived on the bridge in his underwear. Gross, Gary!
“Why all of a sudden have we got so much wind?” Glenn asked. Ask God, Glenn.
Apparently the wind had caused the boat to turn and drag the anchor. Both the captain and the first mate said they had felt the anchor drag from their cabins. That’s not a good thing. Why didn’t Alex report it to Glenn when the wind started to pick up?
“Alex has done everything right so far,” Gary said. “He’s followed all the night watch instructions correctly. It’s just Glenn and I have become extremely quick to react after last season’s anchor drag.”
Glenn decided the situation wasn’t serious, and the wind was already dropping. “Just keep a really close eye on it,” he told Alex. “Anything over 20 [knots], come get us.” And they returned to their cabins. Crisis averted.
The next morning, Glenn and the deck crew prepared to motor back to the port, as the guests enjoyed breakfast. Ileisha was thrilled not to have to cook again for the rest of the day once breakfast was done.
On deck Gary attempted to teach Chase how to coil the lines while the boat was underway, and as usual, Chase was arguing with him. The newbie tried to justify his method, but Gary corrected him, “No, mate. It’s all about being prepared.”
“Copy that,” Chase said, while muttering under his breath, “Everybody’s picky.”
In an interview, Chase complained, “I cannot catch a f***ing break with this guy. He’s just looking for a reason to be upset.” Just do it Gary’s way, Chase, and life will be a lot easier for you.
While the captain was backing the boat into a tight spot at the dock, the guests were mesmerized by all the communication and navigation skill it takes just to park the boat. “It’s way too much excitement,” one of the ladies commented.
Despite wanting to hide away and not leave, the guests said their goodbyes, citing the kindness exhibited by Glenn, Gary and Daisy. Chase gave a little snort of derision. Rude!
Charter #2 was in the books. “Well done, guys,” said Glenn, as he high-fived everyone.
While the cabin crew were working hard straightening up the guest cabins, the deck crew was hanging out in the sun, speculating on who would be hooking up with whom on their night off. Gary was complaining that he was late to the party (since he’d been in Covid quarantine) and everyone else had already called dibs on the girls. “Bru, I’m gonna be a fly on the wall, I tell you,” he claimed.
Gary asked Colin who he had his eye on, now that he was a single man. “I would make out with either of the blondies,” Colin admitted.
“Gary has had it so easy for the last two seasons,” Colin said in a production interview. “He’s always had the girls fighting over him, and this is the first time he’s got a little bit of competition. It’s gonna be interesting to see how this pans out.”
“I don’t cause drama,” Gary laughed. “Drama just tends to find me.” That’s for sure.
At 4:00 pm, Captain Glenn called for everyone to the salon for the tip meeting. Yay! Money!
Glenn said it was a “complete 180” from the first charter. He complimented the whole crew on how well they all worked together. When Gary said he was “very happy” with his team, Chase rather aggressively (no passive about it) shook his head in disagreement. That boy’s gonna get himself in trouble sooner or later. Could be tonight, when everybody gets their post-charter drink on.
But the highlight of the tip meeting, of course, is the tip itself. In this case, a fat $23,000 US, or $2250 Euros per person. Come on, Glenn! You can’t suddenly switch from dollars to Euros and expect me to understand what you’re talking about. It’s like going from farenheit to celcius. I get confused. [By the way, $2250 Euros is just less than $2475 US dollars. Google is my friend.]
Glenn had barely passed out the cash when klutzy Lucy said, “I’ve lost my money.”
“You’ve lost your money already?” he asked in amazement. “It’s right there by your foot.” Be more careful, girl. You worked hard for that money.
Time to party. The girls were in one van, while the boys were all in another on the way to dinner. The conversation in both vans was the same: who would everyone be hooking up with tonight? Daisy admitted, “I think Colin’s so hot.” Hold that thought, Dais.
At dinner, Gary kept telling Mads, “You look gorgeous tonight! Red’s definitely your color,” admiring her red dress.
“F*** off,” Mads told him every time he spoke to her. “I don’t believe anything that comes out of your mouth.”
Watching Gary and Mads flirt from across the table, Chase told Colin, “I’m gonna cry myself to sleep, man.”
“F***in’ Gary,” Chase complained in an interview. “I literally just admitted to him that I liked her.” Get used to it, Chase. Gary flirts with all the pretty girls. He can’t help himself.
“I know a snake when I see a snake,” the South Carolina native said. “And Gary’s kind of an asshole.” Oh, Chase. You give up too easily. But then none of the girls seems all that interested in you anyway, especially with that pissy attitude.
In an attempt to lighten the mood at the table, Colin said, “Gary, we should do a job swap. Just for fun.”
“I can do engine,” Daisy piped up, “’cause there’s not much to do.” Daisy was blatantly flirting with Colin!
“Ooooooh,” Gary responded. “Shots fired,” as Colin pretended to be stabbed in the heart.
Gary was still holding a torch for Daisy, but Daisy was keeping him at arm’s length. “Honestly, I can’t read Gary,” she said. “Like I see the way he behaves with me, but he behaves that way with every other single girl. So for me, it’s kind of hard to take seriously.”
Meanwhile, as the crew were enjoying a beautiful al fresco dinner, poor Glenn was scavenging the boat for something to eat. “Nothing good in here,” he was saying, as he rummaged through a cupboard.
Walking away from dinner, Mads and Alex were holding hands. “Look at these two cutie pies,” Ileisha crowed. Gary had his arm around Lucy’s shoulders and absentmindedly patted her boob. “Oh sh**!” he exclaimed, jumping away from her in embarrassment. She just laughed.
Back to the boat and straight into the hot tub, the bacchanal continued. “Let’s play Spin the Bottle,” Alex suggested.
“Let’s not,” Daisy responded.
As the party died down and the crew wandered off to bed, only Gary, Mads and Alex remained in the jacuzzi. Alex was falling asleep in the water. “Dude, you’re gonna drown,” Mads told him. “Go to bed. You’re literally asleep in the hot tub.”
Once they convinced Alex to call it a day, Gary and Mads were left all alone in the jacuzzi. “My two deckies are fighting over you,” Gary told her. “I don’t want to cut people’s grass, but at the end of the day, f*** them, they’re just deckhands.” And then of course, he moved in for a big kiss, cause that’s just what Gary does.

The post Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 4 Episode 4 Recap: Mads Love appeared first on Reality Tea.
The ladies of Real Housewives of New Jersey are firmly entrenched on warring sides. It’s been like that ever since Melissa Gorga joined the highly popular series. She built her following, with Margaret Josephs as her MVP.
Meanwhile, reigning original star Teresa Giudice had been left with one lone soldier until Danielle Cabral joined the cast. Jennifer Aydin has stuck by her through thick and thin. That’s exactly how Tre expects her support system to be. What was her tagline about blood and water again?
The supporting cast have been forced to pick sides as well. Jackie Goldschneider followed Margaret into Melissa’s camp when she joined the series. But one heartbreaking incident in Season 12 had her extend an olive branch over no-man’s land. Sadly, that ceasefire was short-lived.
Of course, this is in reference to Bill Aydin’s affair. Margaret exposed the couple’s marital issues on the Season 12 premiere. The vicious act affected Jennifer, and her children, for the entire rest of the season.
Jackie endured a rumor of betrayal planted by Teresa in a prior season. Thankfully for the former lawyer, the rumors were untrue. Yet she knows how damaging gossip can be. And so it was understandable why she reached out to Jennifer and attempted a friendship when Bill’s betrayal came to light.
Yet that camaraderie didn’t last. Perhaps the RHONJ waters are just too toxic. The Weight of Beautiful author recently gave an update on her relationship with Jennifer while on the Pay Attention Puh-Lease! podcast.
Since filming for Season 13 wrapped, Jackie has had little contact with the mother of five. And she was surprised by the state of things. Jennifer even unfollowed Jackie “a few months ago” on social media.
“That’s like a flex on social media. So maybe we’re not friends,” Jackie said. “But I’m good without Jen. We’re fine. I’ll survive.” Despite supporting Jennifer, Jackie feels her attempts at friendship were neither reciprocated nor appreciated.
“After that, where I really tried to have a genuine conversation with her and show her some empathy for her situation, she … no. She clumped me with Melissa and Margaret and really just wasn’t warm to me this season,” the published author explained.
That’s the tribal mentality that makes this show so great for reality TV. No one can see humanity in individuals. Instead, the chasm between enemy lines widens.
