We need to talk about Shannon. Well, actually, The Real Housewives of Orange County's Tamra Judge and Gina Kirschenheiter need to talk about Shannon Beador. In the below exclusive...
Eva Marcille was a friend of the Housewives on Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 10. This season, Eva has a peach and she’s doing whatever she can to keep it, i.e. shading people left and right.
During the last RHOA episode, Eva told Porsha Williams that she couldn’t invite any of her friends around. Specifically, Eva alluded to Porsha’s friend Shamea Morton. Just in case anyone forgot, Shamea spread rumors that Eva was in a relationship with Missy Elliott last season. Shamari DeVoe officially joined the cast during that episode as well. She got the seal of approval from Eva. Eva should have just stopped there. Instead she ended up majorly shading Shamea.
During the episode, Eva declared, “I like her friends. Kandi [Burruss] can always invite the friends.” Well, Kandi didn’t exactly invite her friend. Shamari signed a contract to be a Housewife. She had to appear at some point.
Anyway. NeNe Leakes pointed out to Eva, “Shamea is [Kandi’s] friend.” Porsha told Eva, “You don’t know her yet.”
Eva responded, “I don’t, but Blaque is cute. She’s black. She’s snatched. She’s married. Shamea black too. She ain’t Blaque with a ‘q.'” For the record, Blaque is the name of Shamari’s girl group.
Kandi called her out immediately. Kandi told Eva, “You are being shady as f*ck right now.”
Kandi wondered “What did you mean by ‘Shamea is black, but not with a q’? I’m hoping she did not mean because she’s dark skinned. I did not like that. I like you, but I did not like that.”
Eva denied this in an Instagram post. She wrote, “Saying she’s not black with a Q clearly means she’s not in a singing group. Never in 1 million years was I talking about skin color and how Kandi got that from what I said I’m still confused.”
Eva added, “Colorism is a huge issue in the black community. It is extremely irresponsible to insinuate that what I was saying had anything to do with skin color.”
As of this moment, no one else in the cast has addressed Eva’s remark. Maybe they will at the Season 11 reunion.

The Last Alaskans has a new timeslot and a few new cast members, too.
Married at First Sight is back for an eighth season. Yes, eight seasons of strangers marrying each other at...first sight. The new season kicks off on Lifetime on New Year's Day,...
On last night’s Real Housewives Of Atlanta we met new Housewife Shamari DeVoe, and she is um, extra excited about being Mrs. DeVoe and about her great wonderful amazing life. Also, Eva Marcille seems to have some postpartum infection of shadiness that may be crossing the line!
Eva works at Dish Nation (was I supposed to know this?) where she became friends with Porsha Williams. She just doesn’t understand how anyone couldn’t love Porsha! Um, Eva, get back to us when she spreads rumors about your marriage and accuses you of planning to drug and rape her, or drags you across a reunion stage by your extensions.
Since Eva just had a baby and Porsha is pregnant already? just had a lot of Dennis McKinley’s hot dogs, they hit the gym to drop some pounds. “When was the last time you saw a model with a big booty? Cynthia’s the only one I know.” Eva is sure complaining that a lot of people are extra when she is going overboard trying to make her modeling career seem relevant by comparing it to Cynthia Bailey‘s career and shading ‘the mother’ all the way to the lake (and back to the runway) for an America’s Next Top Model revival. Mmmm… Eva last time I checked Tyra had retired her judge’s weave, and you had long retired as well. Or had your career ever actually started?
Drastically switching gears, NeNe Leakes and Gregg Leakes travel to Texas to visit a world-renown cancer center. Gregg isn’t sure about undergoing chemo, and wants to consider alternative medicines. Understandably he’s on a roller coaster of emotions about everything. NeNe can relate – somewhat – since she’s been on the rollercoaster of emotions that is RHOA for many years, and Gregg has been her rock through all the feuds, phony divorces, wig pulls, and wigs with vendettas, and everything else. Now it’s her turn to be the grown up in the relationship.
The doctor reveals that Gregg’s CT scan shows surgery removed the existing cancer, but there could be additional cancerous cells floating around somewhere. To be on the safe side the doctor recommends chemo, and NeNe agrees, but Gregg still isn’t sure. One thing Gregg is certain of is that he’d like to use his experiences to help others and raise awareness. Awwww… Gregg. All the hugs!
Over at Kandi Koated Industries, we finally meet Shamari DeVoe. Shamari is gorgeous, and she’s married to R&B legend Ronnie DeVoe and is the mom of twin boys. She’s also a member of the group Blaque who is ready to jump-start their career again ala Xscape, so that explains why she’s joined RHOA. According to Kandi Burruss Shamari is “not the type of person that’s trying to put on airs and she’s gonna be herself no matter what.” Herself seems very full of her self-perceived sparkle, though!
Shamari and Kandi go way back – Shamari was at Riley Burruss’ baby shower, Kandi wrote one of Blaque’s biggest hits, and Bel Biv DeVoe performed at Kandi and Todd Tucker’s wedding, and now it looks like Kandi is going to help relaunch Shamari’s music career. Which also means that Shamari’s next single should be titled “T-R-O-U-B-L-E” written by Kandi Burrus, because I have a feeling that’s what Shamari is going to be. Especially for Porsha! I bet one of Kandi’s royalty checks that Shamari also knows Dennis, and knows-knows all about Dennis. This is the karma-venge season for Kandi. It’s her turn to blow up Porsha’s relationship… Although I could be wrong because Shamari and Porsha go even farther back – they went to high school together!
Shamari is also very much about being MRS. DEVOE. “He is everything to the world!” she gushes about Ronnie, bragging that she is the one and only true wife to a legend so many other women are dying to get their hands on. Shamari and Ronnie have been together for 17 years, and like Porsha, their relationship started as a one night stand. Now she has big plans to become a geriatric the next Beyonce and Jay-Z by forming a couple’s power group. So far my favorite thing about Shamari is how all of her regular glasses look safety goggles as if she’s prepared for all the dangers that come with being a Real Housewife.
Suddenly Kandi and Porsha are buddies again! Which is quite a different story from the one Kandi was telling last week as they all headed to Miami. That was one successful girls trip. Kandi invites everyone including support Shamari at her upcoming concert and when she calls Porsha with the invite they have a very cute conversation which includes joking about Dennis. After vetting how everyone feels about her in Miami Porsha is ready to introduce him to the group. “I’ve never met Dennis,” reveals Kandi. “We have mutual… um, friends. So I’m just gonna shut up.”
Like new mom Eva, NeNe is excited to get out of the house and take a break from care-taking to let her weave down a couple inches with the girls. Unlike Eva, NeNe manages to keep her attitude in check for girl’s night out.
For all Shamari’s delusions that everyone in Atlanta is keeping up with the DeVoes, Cynthia has literally never even seen nor heard of Shamari and has to ask Kandi to point her out on stage. Cynthia actually she thinks they just moved to town! Even though Shamari has lived in Atlanta since kindergarten, and is married to the one. the only. LEGEND. Cynthia needs to get off that lake and back into society!
The very second Shamari stops singing and prancing around in a sequined fringe crop-top, Cynthia invites everyone to a “Bailey-Que.” Like Martha Stewart, Cynthia is apparently is slapping her name on anything and everything and hoping it sticks. Maybe she just ought to trademark “Bailey.” However since the Bailey umbrella of products does not include food, Cynthia decides to the event is pot-luck. Porsha doesn’t cook right now since she’s dating Dennis who is also a chef in addition to being a club impresario and entrepreneur. His specialty is dangling proposals in front of women’s noses, and hot dogs. “He’s a dog alright,” snickers Kandi. Well at least hot dogs go well with a barbecue, not sure about a Bailey-Que…
So Eva doesn’t like ANYONE presently (except Porsha) and she is out to avenge all of last season’s hazings when she was the newbie. In addition to hating on Marlo and Cynthia she is also gunning for Shamea Morton after Shamea shaded her about her dating life. In the course of expressing how much she dislikes Shamea for being “a snake” Eva goes so far as to make some comments about her blackness which has Kandi questioning Eva’s values.
When Shamari comes over to the table to seek accolades after her performance, NeNe gives her the cold shoulder (Available at Swagg Boutique!). Then Ronnie comes to say hello, and Shamari suggests he critique Kandi’s performance with Xscape – which he gladly does in front of the entire table. This is not the way to make friends and influence people, Shamari! Also, the Peter Thomas replacement for Househusband has arrived in the form of Ronnie.
The next day Kandi forgets her pants as she visits the site of the next OLG Restaurant, inventively titled OLGII. Carmon also shows up, looking professional, because she now runs an insurance agency which is doing all the quotes for OLG. And providing some extra insurance for Kandi’s personal dramas as well!
The tea being served is Porsha’s relationship with Dennis. Carmon has heard that Dennis likes to buy all his lady friends Rolexes. Then Kandi’s friend Jami arrives to really lay the butter on extra thick! You may remember Jami as the girl Porsha chased out the back of a Christmas party a couple seasons ago. Now Jami and Porsha are obviously NOT friends, but Jami’s friend was dating Dennis (for almost 3 years) … until he abruptly dumped her for Porsha.
Allegedly this girl found out while they were all in Africa for Shamea’s wedding! According to Kandi, Dennis was also dating other girls at the same time. “He falls pretty quickly,” Kandi shades, “and he tattoos people’s names on him.” Names and faces … since he got Jami’s friend’s face somewhere on his body as well. To complete the portrait of a man in love also cooks for his ladies… Or has his sidepieces cook for his main lady! “She just better check his receipts,” warns Jami. “Don’t you say nothing. Cleave your mouth shut,” Carmon lectures Kandi. She has learned by proxy of Mama Joyce about how words on the street work out…
At that very same time, Porsha’s mom visits her and is shocked by the size of Porsha’s booty, and the size of her new Rolex! Porsha excitedly reveals that Dennis tattooed her name on his leg, and has plans to put her face on his back. He’s also having freshly prepared meatloaf sent straight to her door! “This is for real! Like he ain’t goin’ nowhere,” she coos. Porsha’s mom is practically in tears about how Porsha finally found the perfect man who has made her so happy and content.
So Dennis has his game plan dialed in! Also, how is he covering up all these tattoos to make room for the new tattoos?

Imagine if you will, a group of 90 Day Fiance cast members bickering among each other, completely unfiltered and organic. No production, no scripts, and no editing. Like a tell all reunion without the host. Well it happened. And it was epic.
Unfortunately, this was not filmed for the show. However, the drama went down on social media and screenshots are forever. Right?
Earlier this week, Larisa Dos Santos Lima posted a throwback photo of herself at Madame Tussauds. The picture with unaltered comments can be seen on a 90 Day Fiance fan page. In the picture, she is posing with her hands on a cop car looking seductively over her shoulder. This post was her attempt at a comical reference to her arrest for alleged domestic battery.
Most of Larissa’s Instagram followers understood her claim that she was merely trying to make light of a difficult situation. There were also people who who disapproved of the post. Larissa’s Season 6 costars Fernanda Flores and Jonathan Rivera along with Season 5 cast member David Toborowsky did not think the post was comical.
Fernanda Flores got the drama started. She commented, “how can you make fun? A lot of people were genuinely concerned about you.” David agreed.
Then, Larissa got defensive. She responded “the only way you can stay relevant and try to convince people you’re not boring is to insert yourself in my affairs.” Fernanda replied, then removed herself from the conversation, “when you make your affairs public and appear to be threatened people worry. Don’t confuse boring with class. I don’t need to be arrested for attention.” Ouch.
Then, the men got in on the fighting. Colt Johnson referenced a scene from Sunday’s episode where Fernanda and Jonathan Rivera got into a fight saying, “didn’t I see you throw water at a paid actress’s face and almost assault her in a painfully obvious staged and fraud scene.”
Of course, Jonathan responded to Colt by throwing some shade toward Colt’s furry obsession, calling him “catboy.” Larissa jumped in to insinuate jealousy on the part of Jonathan and Fernanda for Larissa’s “success.” Jonathan snarked, “what success? Two days in jail and your new couch?”
Larissa then took it up a notch when she wrote, “go buy another child bride.” Colt dug little deeper with this response, “hello my name is Jonathan, perhaps you remember me from such things as being a douche bag on the internet and buying a child bride.” On a side note, Colt strikes me as someone who has a lot more charisma with the written word than anything that has come out of his mouth this season.
David then inserted himself back into the conversation and Larissa went after him. “Go find a job, 90 day fiance is not forever grandfather.” David commented , “ice ice baby, your stay in America will be short lived just like your attention span.” That ICE reference earned David eternal blocking from Larissa.
Clearly, the battle lines have been drawn. Larissa and Fernanda seem be our new Pao and Anfisa. Definitely opposite ends of the stage at reunion time.

There has been a lot of speculation about Season 9 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. They have kept a lot of the details under wraps, but it sure sounds dramatic and juicy.
There have been some rampant rumors that OG cast member Lisa Vanderpump refused to film with most of the cast and she’s done with the show after next season.
Lisa told Us Weekly, “There are some parts I missed and you’ll see why.” She added, “I think maybe we’ll have a better understanding when you watch the show. If I had quit, I would have said it.” Will the fandom be Team Lisa Vanderpump or Team Everyone else?
Apparently, Lisa’s fellow Housewives, Lisa Rinna, Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, and Teddi Mellencammp Arroyave caught Lisa in some sort of lie. Denise Richards, who is a new Housewife next season, is supposedly the only one still filming with Lisa. But that isn’t the only source of bad blood among the Housewives.
According to sources, Kyle engaged in a nasty altercation with Lisa’s husband, Ken Todd, and was banished from the home as a result. Ouch! Lisa is also hesitant to believe Kyle saying that she “loves” her in a previous interview with Us Weekly. Lisa proclaimed, “Don’t tell me, show me!”
She explained, “You don’t know if you’re going to be invited back. You don’t know if they’re going to do the show. So that’s a little hypothetical, really.”
Amid all this turmoil, Lisa has been in contact with former Housewife, and Friend of the Housewives in Season 9, Camille Grammar, who lost her home in the California Wildfires. Lisa said Camille “seemed upbeat, but I know it’s very sad, very sad situation to lose so much.”
I cannot imagine The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills without Lisa. Here’s hoping that all this drama can be hashed out.

If we thought the youngest people on this season’s trainwreck of 90 Day Fiance were actually the most mature of the whole bunch, well, we would be dead right. Because despite early signs of stress at becoming new parents, Steven and Olga are definitely winning in the off-camera social media department. In fact, they seem to be the only cast members who got the memo that being reality TV personalities does not make you a “star” who’s entitled to argue with every Tom, Dick, and Hairball on Instagram.
But I digress! Let’s talk about the show. Last night, we find Olga being prepped for her C-section, which – THANK THE LORD – will be performed by an actual doctor. Steven is allowed in the room while the C-section is performed and, shockingly, cameras are apparently allowed to film every surgical detail of poor Olga being sliced open. Seriously – was that not the most invasive scene ever? Yikes.
Baby Richie (named after Steven’s late father) is finally born, healthy and screaming. YAY! Steven breaks down in tears, immediately filled with love for the little man that’s come into their lives. Olga is thrilled too, but naturally exhausted, and needs to sleep rather than talk to Steven anymore. His frustration with her is unfounded and likely a result of his immaturity. He finally quiets down and eventually goes home while Olga is left to recover.
Days later, Steven is even more amped up about getting Olga and Richie home. He only has a short time in Russia and is stressed out about missing so much time with them during their hospital stay. He was only allowed a 1-hour visit with Olga & Richie each day post-delivery. As he tries to rush Olga out of the hospital, she reminds him to be patient with her. She’s recovering from surgery, homeboy! When she chastises him for touching Richie’s face while he’s sleeping, Steven really freaks out.
“Don’t tell me when I can and can’t touch my son!” Steven barks. Uh oh. These two are obviously unprepared for the parenting stresses that await them, but their arguments over the baby (as any new parent can attest to) are totally normal. The real problem is that they don’t have a solid relationship themselves to support this rickety new structure. Time will tell if that changes though. Damn! I’m still rooting for them.
In similar fashion, Kalani and Asuelu are figuring out the new parent thing without having much in common besides their de-virginizing tryst on that fateful vacation. Kalani’s fears about Asuelu understanding basic safety issues is realized when they embark on their long road trip from CA to Utah – a trip that involves equal levels of child endangerment and Cheetos.
When baby Oliver begins crying in his carseat, Asuelu (beside him in the backseat), takes him out of his harness and tries to comfort him. Kalani goes apesh*t, simultaneously waving a Cheeto around and screaming at Asuelu, “WHAT THE F*CK! YOU CAN’T DO THAT! I’M GOING 80 MILES PER HOUR!” She finally pulls over, demanding the baby be handed to her. She’s a ball of panic and rage, barely able to communicate with Asuelu, who’s shut down completely. Also of note: Kalani refused to let go of her Cheeto even at the height of her panic. That’s commitment.
Asuelu’s immaturity surfaces as they get back on the road and we see him literally sticking his fingers in his ears when Kalani calmly tries to tell him what the laws are, and why ripping a baby out of a carseat is NO BUENO here. Fine – Asuelu doesn’t understand the rules yet. But, hey, he does need to learn them. Kalani’s communication style could use some work though, and she should understand that importing a fiance from a third world situation comes with some…uh…teachable moments.
At least things are in a better place when they get to Kalani’s family home in Utah, where her brother, Nick, greets them warmly and puts everyone at ease. Suddenly, plot twist! Nick has obviously gotten the memo that the entire family hates Asuelu, so he hands him a condom as a welcome gift. “I never use one before,” says a confused Asuelu. “Yeah, we can tell,” says Nick. “Let’s make sure we can take care of this one before we make another one.”
Asuelu thinks it’s rude to be given a condom because in Samoa “only slut people use the condom.” I HAVE NO WORDS except that Asuelu wants a basketball team of kids anyway, so he’s not about that birth control life. Kalani’s not so sure, especially after #CarseatGate.
Leida has not recovered from seeing the absolute trashbox she’s destined to live in with Eric. She has decided to follow Eric’s lead and blame the entire situation on his middle daughter (and roommate), Tasha. But when Eric’s away, Leida decides to take matters further by marching her family over to the apartment to witness the scene for themselves. Much like the rest of us, they are horrified.
Leida’s sister, Reina, is particularly disgusted, mostly on Alessandro’s behalf, asking the question everyone is thinking: Where will that poor child sleep?!? On the dreaded air couch!?! Leida is only concerned about herself, and of course, getting Tasha out of her life. She hasn’t even met Tasha yet, but she’s got her future stepdaughter in her crosshairs.
Later on, Family Leida and Eric have a sit down. They want to know what Eric’s plan is to provide a decent life for Leida – you know, one that doesn’t involve dried spaghetti hanging from the ceiling and couches that self-deflate? Eric huffs and puffs, just trying to shut them up with claims that he’ll “take care of it.” Father Leida is so desperate for his daughter to live elsewhere, he finally straight up offers to subsidize the rent on another place. But Eric refuses the offer.
Leida is still in a rage at Tasha, who she sees as the main problem here. Eric also says he’ll “take care of her” which sounds vaguely like a mafia threat, and not at all convincing. Reina is stupefied by her sister’s lack of common sense and desperation to live in America at any cost. As one shrewd Tweeter posted last week, “Can someone tell Leida that there are easier ways of becoming a doctor here than sleeping with this guy?”
Poor Jay. First, he had to live in that townhouse with all of the word art. Now he gets dragged to an Amish farmers market to experience local “culture.” In an attempt to get Jay out and about, Ashley thinks it’s a wise plan to show Jay around the local indoor market, a place filled with pretzel items, homemade jam, and people who think zippers are “of the devil.” (JK! Love the Amish! Just a joke! Don’t come for me, Mennonites!) At least Jay is thrilled with the fresh pickles, which are considered high class eats back home.
Jay obviously feels out of place, noting how everyone stares at him – which, to be fair, could also be the result of a camera crew following their every move. Ashley knows Jay will have a tough time adapting to life in Mechanicsburg, a place situated on the West Shore of the greater Harrisburg area, known to locals as “the white shore.” UGH. She doesn’t know how to make it better for him, but wants Jay to know that she’s got his back no matter what.
At least Jay gets a respite from the mean streets of corn husk wreaths when he takes a trip over to a barbershop in downtown Harrisburg. The guys inside welcome him like family and immediately start ribbing him about getting married too soon. When they find out their fine Jamaican friend is only 20 years old and already putting a ring on it, they’re like OH HELL NO!
But Jay explains that he has to marry Ashley in order to stay in the U.S. In fact, he admits that marriage wouldn’t even be a consideration if he could get to the U.S. without it. Now, I personally don’t think Jay is using Ashley for a green card. I think he’s just saying they’d date and/or live together before deciding on marriage if the law allowed it. But those clever TLC producers sure edited the scene to make Jay look guilty as hell in previews!
At least Jay found a port in the storm at this barbershop. And a special shout out must be given to the dude above, who stepped in to play the role of “concerned 90 Day Fiance friend” with enormous conviction, even though he legit met Jay only 5 minutes prior to filming. Slow clap to that.
OMG. I haven’t been this grossed out by a workout since the dreaded time I had to hop on a treadmill after someone with an open hand wound vacated it at the YMCA. Jonathan talking about the “sexual tension” he gets off on at the gym while watching Fernanda squat, sweat, and grunt took me right back to that special dry-heave moment in my 20s though. BLECH.
On the heels of their fight at the club, Jonathan explains to Fernanda that he wasn’t trying to dance with anyone else, and that the entire situation was just a big misunderstanding. Fernanda is not feeling entirely secure in their relationship since being greeted on night one in the U.S. with a crusty thong, though, and tells Jonathan straight up that she’s not going to marry him if he doesn’t commit to her 100%. He promises he will, and apparently takes her to the gym to prove it? Okay.
After much heavy breathing on the bench press, Fernanda tells Jonathan she’s nervous about meeting his family in Chicago soon. Instead of comforting her, Jonathan doubles down on the douchery by warning Fernanda that his mom will be hard to win over – especially because he totally set everyone up for failure by NOT TELLING HER ABOUT THEIR ENGAGEMENT. Mother Jonathan had to see the news on social media, which is an epic fail on Jonathan’s part.
Fernanda is livid. Jonathan threw her under the family bus before she could get on it! Jonathan doesn’t really admit his gigantic error. He just hopes it will all be okay in the end. Um, Fernanda, girrrrrrrrl – all I have to say is give Pedro a call and see how it all worked out with Family Chantel. Also, prepare to donkey-kick a table full of Costco food if necessary. And don’t wear a weave. #MoreStupider #NeverForget
Since she was summarily rebuffed on her dreams of owning a couch, Larissa has wised up to the ways of Mr. & Mrs Colt-ee (I’m speaking here about Colt and MOTHER, of course). She went car shopping with Colt, sans Debbie. At the used car lot, Larissa lays out her list of demands: A sexy car with AC.
But Colt has no time for luxuries like conditioned air and windows that roll down via the magic of 1990s electronics!!! No siree. He prefers to drive around in his current sh*tbox, rejecting both the $20k SUV and cheapo red hatchback (what was that thing? I didn’t even register the make and model) outright. Apparently, he won’t even entertain the idea of buying a car ever in this lifetime until after their wedding.
Colt hopes his surprise plan of presenting Larissa with an official engagement ring will erase all memory of having no AC on the reg. But when he takes her to The Stratosphere Tower to propose, Larissa is all, WHAT THE HELL?!? THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE!!! She’s deathly afraid of heights, a fact which she’s told Colt in the past. Therefore, when Colt forces her to take the elevator to the tiipety-top floor and sit next to a plate glass window a zillion feet above the city, Larissa only feels two things: pissed and pukey.
Literally swallowing down vomitous bile, Larissa turns several shades of green as Colt-ee encourages her to “look at the beautiful view.” You can almost see his five dollar car from here! Finally, Colt suggests they take a stroll to calm Larissa down, then he sort of lurches to one knee and hands her a diamond ring WITH A TAG HANGING FROM IT. At least this perks Larissa up a bit. At the very least, she can pawn that sh*t and buy a Kia.
When they arrive home, Colt and Larissa wake Mother Debbie from a sound sleep to show her the ring. To her credit, Debbie smiles and congratulates them through gritted teeth. Thus, Colt and Larissa have made it official! But the only thing I can focus on is that scary ass clown situated behind Colt’s head as he leans in to greet MOTHER. What the actual FRACK is that and why must this show haunt my nightmares in fresh, hellish ways each week!!?!? <sob>
