Real Housewives of New York alum Kelly Bensimon was preparing to say ‘I do’ once again. So, fans were shocked when she called off her wedding to Scott Litner. After all, Kelly pulled the plug just days before the couple was set to wed. It seemed like the mom of two was finally getting her happily ever after. And after all this, her former fiancé is allegedly hoping to win her back.

Why did Kelly pull the plug on her wedding to Scott?

Kelly revealed why she nixed her plans to marry Scott. “I understand that there is speculation and gossip, and I want to put an end to all of it. To be clear, he refused to sign a prenuptial agreement, and I refused to marry him,” Kelly stated. “Full stop.”

But is Scott ready to give up on his relationship with Kelly? Nope! He allegedly wants her back. An insider told Daily Mail, “Scott still wants to marry Kelly and though it will not happen in a few days as originally expected, he believes they can get back to a place where it does happen. Though Kelly mentioned the reason being the lack of a prenup, Scott feels that is just an excuse and that it had to be something else,” the source added. I mean, I think her reason was pretty clear. And somewhere her former RHONY co-star Bethenny Frankel is probably cheering Kelly’s decision.

Reportedly, “Scott didn’t want a prenup because he considers himself more traditional, and having a prenup makes it feel to him that you are already putting a damper on a lifelong relationship. He didn’t want to make the marriage a business deal,” the insider continued. “He is looking to figure out where it went wrong and is looking to right any of this.”

The source noted that family and friends of the couple were “surprised” by the sudden turn of events.

Real Housewives of New York and Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy are both streaming on Peacock.

EXCLUSIVE: DWTS Pro Emma Slater on Historic Routines, Favorite Celebs and More

Having been on Dancing with the Stars since Season 17, Emma Slater is nothing short of a seasoned pro. Just seven seasons after her debut, Emma won her first Mirrorball. And seven years on, Emma’s still dancing just fine, despite the sometimes-frequent foot pain. But that’s why she teamed up with OOFOS. Emma spoke with us about all things DWTS – partners, dances, stars, and hours spent in narrow high heels.

Emma confirms she’s still in touch with Mauricio

When asked about her previous partners, Emma revealed, “I keep in touch with almost all of them! The ones that I still stay in good contact with are James Van Der Beek, Rashad Jennings, and Mauricio Umansky. And Bill Engvall always holds a special place in my heart!” Bill was Emma’s first partner in the show’s history.

Fans will recall that Emma placed fourth with Bill, fifth with James, and won with Rashad. Speaking of Rashad, Emma revealed that her all-time favorite performance on the show was her contemporary alongside the athlete. “It still gives me the chills,” she said, “because he dedicated that dance to his late father and so every ounce of it felt special and delicate. It really meant a lot to him. I remember dancing it with Rashad and it felt like we didn’t breathe the whole time!”

As for her favorite star on the show who wasn’t her partner, Emma enthusiastically replied, “Alfonso Ribiero! No brainer. Him and his wife are family to me, he’s like my brother.” Indeed, everyone loves Alfonso.

Emma reveals her thoughts on VPR and Ariana Madix

As most reality TV fans are aware, a good chunk of Vanderpump Rules Season 11 drama revolved around DWTS. What did Emma think of it all? Well, she admitted, “I must confess I do not watch the show! But I love Ariana [Madix], she was a firecracker on the show! Her week one tango was insane!”

“I think it’s important to welcome the natural dance ability of all types of celebrities on the show,” Emma later said regarding those stars who come in with natural talent. “It’s a very welcoming and encouraging dance environment we have, and the variety makes the show so entertaining. Some celebs just naturally have more prior dance experience than others. I personally think the competition is fun!”

Regarding other potential stars, Emma also laid out the traits that her dream star would have. “Well, honestly I’m so ready to be creative and to bring the heat. So anyone who is ready to create magical dances, athletic, hopefully can move well, has rhythm, and has no fear! And a good performer!”

“I spend a lot of time in dance shoes, with narrow toe space and 3.5-inch heels! After being in these every day for hours, my feet feel the impact. After I started wearing OOFOS immediately after my rehearsals, I noticed that my feet would recover far quicker, I would get less cramping in my foot arches, and the foot pain from holding my weight in heels all day would disperse. OOFOS are so soft yet supportive in all the areas I need, it is bliss for my feet!”

Emma’s new shoes also affect her life out in public, with folks approaching her saying, “‘I love OOFOS, I wear mine all the time’ or ‘Where did you get those, I’ve been looking for something just like that!’ and I light up when I hear that honestly! I feel Iike OOFOS is such a community, it’s fun to get excited about them with people who love them too. I think it’s because they are so cute to wear everyday so not only set trends but look and feel like clouds for your feet. Who doesn’t want that?”

She continued, “I have two styles that are my particular favorites, so I would recommend both of them. They are OOmega OOlala sandals in black and the OOmega OOahh slide sandals in Nomad. The OOfoam technology helps absorb impact for all-day recovery – I’m wearing the OOmega OOlala Sandals right now!” To get shoes as stylish and comfortable as Emma’s, be sure to check out OOFOS.

Dancing with the Stars is streaming on Disney+.

Bri Muller and Gael Cameron ‘Very Surprised’ by Big Below Deck Med Tip

Who knew that uninspired food and almost losing a charter guest out to sea granted a huge tip? Below Deck Mediterranean stars Bri Muller and Gael Cameron were just as surprised as the rest of us when Captain Sandy Yawn’s bestie, Gigi Fernandez, left a big tip on her way off the super yacht. No one expected a cool twenty-five thousand dollars after the guests complained about the food and there was a major snafu with the water toys. So what exactly went down, and how did Bri and Gael feel about the generous tip?

Bad food and a paddleboard disaster equals a good tip

Sandy was super excited to have Gigi on her yacht for a second charter. She made it clear to the department heads that Gigi expected nothing but the best. And for some reason, chef Jono Shillingford thought serving seared chicken breast and an Easy Bake Oven cake was top of the line.

Bosun Iain Maclean wasn’t any better. While the guests were out playing on the water toys, he sent Gael on a break. That meant no deckhands were watching the guests. Unfortunately, Nathan Gallagher and one of the charter guests started to drift out to sea on their paddle boards.

Even after all that drama, Gigi still gave the crew a large tip. And needless to say, everyone was shocked. Bri and Gael spilled the tea on the drama, and their thoughts on the tip to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live via TikTok.

Andy asked about the big tip, and Bri noted she was “very surprised.” He then wondered if the food had something to do with their tip being lower than it would have been. 

Bri said, “I actually had no idea that the food was so bad. I thought everything was good. I would go to bed before dessert and I’d be like Jono is killing it. So when I heard someone complain about the food, it was like a shock to me.”

Andy then discussed the water toy debacle. He asked, “How did the charter guest drift away on the paddle board so far, and how was no one watching?” Gael responded, “I think that was a bit of a collaborative effort.” Andy joked, “Collaborative, in not paying attention?”

Gael agreed. Andy added, “Would that not be the deckhands’ job to have eyes on the guests when they’re out on water toys?” Gael responded, “Oh, absolutely. As I said, a collaborative effort.” Eesh. Let’s hope the crew can turn it around on the next charter!

Below Deck Mediterranean airs Mondays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Kandi Burruss Tried Ozempic but Quit When It Didn’t Work

I guess Ozempic doesn’t work for everybody. Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kandi Burruss tried the trendy weight-loss drug after seeing it work for some of her castmates. But sadly, it didn’t do anything for her.

“I saw so many people who were trying it and losing weight,” said the singer/songwriter. She added that she knew a “ton” of women who lost weight successfully on the drug, including former RHOA cast member Marlo Hampton.

“So I was like, ‘OK, I’m going to try this,’” Kandi said. “[But] I didn’t lose any weight.”

Ozempic just didn’t have the desired effect

The Grammy winner confessed to using the drug “last year.” When she wasn’t getting the results she wanted, friends who had used the drug thought “something must be wrong” or that she simply needed to take a “higher dosage.” Even Kandi’s doctor was confused.

“My doctor was like, ‘I don’t know what the problem is, I’m not seeing this in other people,’” she remembered. 

In case you live under a rock, Ozempic is an FDA-approved drug originally developed for patients with Type II diabetes. The drug “tricks” the brain into thinking that you’re not hungry, suppressing the appetite and promoting weight loss. Unfortunately, Kandi didn’t see any change in her appetite.

“It didn’t curb my appetite,” she explained. “I know some people are like, ‘Oh, I can’t eat.’ Not me! I was eating appetizers, a regular meal, and dessert, OK? It didn’t stop anything for me.”

The long list of public figures who have lost weight using Ozempic includes Oprah Winfrey, Kelly Clarkson, and Real Housewives of New Jersey stars Dolores Catania and Margaret Josephs.

“When you see it worked for other people and it doesn’t work for you, it makes you depressed,” Kandi shared. “It makes you feel like, ‘What is wrong? Why is it not working for me?’”

Weight gain followed RHOA exit

The Bedroom Kandi founder admitted to gaining significant weight after leaving RHOA in 2023. “I was eating good, living good,” she said. “I was already 10 pounds over my desired weight at the top of the year. But then, when I announced that I was not going to do ‘Housewives’ anymore, I was eating dessert every day, taking trips, just living it up.”

“Before I knew it, I was like 170-something pounds,” she added. “And it was not cute.”

Since changing her eating habits and switching to another weight-loss product, she’s starting to get results. “I’m feeling good,” she says.

“While I’m on tour,” she shared, “I’m going to make the most of the gyms at the hotels … I’m going to work out so many days a week, stick to eating correctly, and … see how it goes. So I’m excited. Pray for that I can stick to it!” 

“It has been years since I felt like I was real slim and trim,” the Xscape singer concluded. “It’s been a minute, and I would love to just see myself get back to that, to my best self.” 

All episodes of Real Housewives of Atlanta are now streaming on Peacock.
