Something About Her might be the most successful business to come out of Vanderpump Rules aside from SUR. Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney’s sandwich shop may have had a rough time opening, but it’s become the talk of West Hollywood. The lines for the sandwich shop are around the block. Basically, everyone was ready to throw money at the two most liable cast members on Pump Rules in its current era.
Not everyone has been supportive of Something About Her, but it’s a loud minority. We can’t forget Lala Kent’s shady “Nothing About Her” comment during the recent VPR reunion. The entire cast, aside from Tom Schwartz, was pretty quiet when congratulating the ladies on their huge success. Despite the shade from their castmates, Ariana and Katie are receiving massive support — even from A-list celebrities.

The latest star to walk through the doors of Something About Her in search of a chic, feminine sandwich is none other than Diane Keaton. Yes, the star of famous films like “Annie Hall” and “Something’s Gotta Give” even had to stop by Something About Her to see what all the hype was about. Now that’s the definition of icons celebrating icons.
Katie posted an Instagram story (which was reposted by Danny Pelligrino on X) of her mom posing with Diane inside of the sandwich shop. “The incredible @diane_keaton just visited @somethingabouther,” Katie’s caption read. Both women could not look more fabulous. Diane’s outfit totally matched the vibe of the sandwich shop. It’s hard not to think of haters like Lala and Scheana Shay eating their words from the reunion when they see good karma coming Ariana and Katie’s way these days.

Since Season 1 of Summer House, Lindsay Hubbard has had her ups and downs when it comes to her interpersonal relationships in the shared vacation home. The PR guru turned social media influencer has never shied away from letting her true feelings out, often becoming “activated” at the slightest annoyance. But Season 8 showed viewers a new Lindsay. Kind of. One who was acting excited to be married and invested in her soon-to-be husband’s future.
Runaway bride
After several Fridays of constant fighting with Carl Radke, Lindsay had enough. In pretty dramatic fashion, Lindsay waltzed out of the house and literally slid through the guard gate to start walking on the main street. Not only was Lindsay working her walk in a chic green summer dress, but this was the start of Carl being honest about her to his parents. Upon Lindsay’s return, Amanda Batula asks, “You were just walking on the side of the road?” To which Lindsay casually responds, “Yea. And I almost got hit by a mail truck.” Honestly, the delivery was everything as if that was the worst part of her day – go watch the clip.
As Lindsay and Carl proceeded to have another fight, this time about how to be sensitive, the OG was just plain exhausted from the insults. But Lindsay wasn’t innocent of throwing jabs at Carl either, let’s be honest. Carl kept saying over and over how he needed Lindsay to be “soft,” implying she was neither kind nor supportive. When Lindsay tried her best to explain those terms were insulting, he doubled down, stating that was what he wanted from his partner. Not one to back down from an argument, Lindsay shut Carl up once and for all, stating, “The word that I think you’re looking for is that you need a Stepford wife. And I am never going to be that person. You are asking me to be somebody that I’m not.”
Summer House viewers watched as Lindsay tried her best to enjoy her special day that was, for once, supposed to be all about her. But she had a monkey on her back that she had to take care of. Lindsay had just learned that Carl’s parents were not in support of their union. That said, they might have had reason not to be. Watching Lindsay ambush Sharon was the highlight of that party for me, but not for many. Instead of having the private conversation off-screen, Lindsay grabbed the bull by its horns and addressed the issues. Yep, let’s humiliate Sharon on national television instead! It also didn’t go unnoticed that she gave a side eye to the cameraman, breaking the fourth wall.
Some viewers felt that the move was icky, but I think it was a power play. A power play that might have gotten Linds sidelined in some areas. Keep in mind, Carl’s ex is not Sharon’s responsibility. Lindsay had some inkling that Carl told her a specific version of what played out. Why would it be okay for Carl to have this conversation with his mom and Lindsay to be shunned for doing the same? I mean because I guess Carl isn’t allowed to talk to his own family, according to Lindsay! I so admired how direct the Hubb House owner actually was with the entire conversation. It seemed super mature not to fake it and smile.
Lindsay’s reunion clap back
Bravo only just dropped the sneak peek for the Summer House reunion, but fans already know it is going to be a doozy. While Carl is listing that he paid “half the rent for nine months,” Lindsay interrupts, asking, “Do you want a pat on the back for that?” mainly because he was still on the lease, so it wasn’t such an accomplishment that he was making it out to be.
The opening scene of the season finale showed Lindsay and Carl again fighting. This time, Carl raised his voice, and Lindsay exited stage left. While venting to Danielle Olivera and Gabby Prescod, she noted, “I’m f*ucking done coddling. This man and 10 months of chilling at home like trying to think about what he f*cking wanted to do. And now I just don’t have the coddle in me. The coddling has left. I can’t stand his face right now.” Girl, you and me both! Thank goodness Carl had the right mind to end things!
If you are anything like me, then you have a teenager lurking around nearby, and you’ve likely heard all about Sidemen. You’ve probably also heard about Inside, their latest endeavor online. If you have not, then allow me to properly introduce you all at this time. To start, Sidemen is a British YouTube group, consisting of seven online personalities.
These members are known online as KSI, Miniminter, Zerkaa, TBJZL, Behzinga, Vikkstar123, and W2S. Each week, the stars of Sidemen crank out videos across five separate YouTube channels. These videos consist of either a challenge, a sketch, or a mash-up of video game commentaries. With over 138 million subscribers in all, it’s pretty clear that the Sidemen are living their best lives online.
As for their most recent endeavor, they have just launched their first reality television series, titled Inside. Obviously, we here at Reality Tea stan this move. After a watch, I can best describe this series as a marriage of Mr. Beast and The Real World. The only difference is that zero filters are added in during the editing process.
Cue Oprah, announcing that, “You get hear a f*ck, and you get hear a f*ck, and you get hear a f*ck.” All heard sans my own blurred out vowels, of course. Sorry. I’m a good girl, crazy about Elvis keeping my job.
Basically though, Inside is a fun, wild ride. Also, the massive prize pot of $1 million at the end has me clutching my faux pearls, wishing that I too were a contestant on this series. You need to call me on my cell phone. Late night when you need my love presence, Sidemen.
Curious? Here are all of the details on Inside, the Sidemen’s first reality competition series.

What is Sidemen reality show Inside all about?
Inside is wild. To start, the Sidemen’s chosen influencers are locked inside of the same house together for an entire week. Inside (hence the title), these contestants must compete against each other in a variety of daily tasks, and some of these tasks have me now regretting my casting call ask.
Right off the bat, these social media stars have to rate each other. My self-esteem could never. Several beats later, they enter into a room with a u-shaped desk. Here, they all sit down, and place their hands in a designated spot.
Sounds easy enough, right? Nope. Because rats, spiders and snakes arrive next, hissing and crawling and creeping, oh my hell no. A tattoo artist also joins in on the mess, which would’ve had me immediately lifting my hands up in defeat, because needles are not my friend.
The contestants who live to see another day go on to endure additional challenges, such as having their faces whacked with tortillas, and also a game of dodgeball, but with table tennis vibes. With each challenge failed, their prize pot decreases. That said, so does the number of contestants that are allowed to stay “Inside,” continuing to battle it out for the bucks.
As for what this prize is, well, when these influencers first arrived, their prize pot was worth $1 million. However, this amount decrease once the gameplay begins, as the contestants are also allowed to treat themselves at random along the way. For example, they can purchase hot water for a shower, but it’ll cost them $100 per minute. Or, if someone’s fancying a soda, a single bottle will set their eventual winnings back another $500.
I love little treats culture. But also, you can likely image the type of drama that a dwindling dollar sign creates.
